THE ANCHOR.

The anchor here illustrated is one of
the series of funeral designs hj C. H.
Fox, Columbia avenue and Twenty-first
street, Philadelphia. . This is a good eX'
ample of the cheap design, so frequently
demanded where the affections are strong
and the purse light. It may be made up
either in white or in pink and white, as
the taste dictates. It cannot be recom-
mended from an artistic standpoint. My
recollection is that Mr. Fox shuddered
when exhibiting this design. Phil.

SOME WINDOWS.

Appropriate Backgrounds.

Eeviewing, for a moment, the classi-
fication of window designs — landscape,
water and special design — ^we shall be
able to see at once wheu it is necessary
to put in extra work and thought on the
proper material for the i^ackground. Be-
yond doubt the appropriate setting for
a landscape window is the very material
that would be found in the natural spot
which it is designed to reproduce, as
moss, grass, lichens, leaves, logs, bark,
tree trunks, ferns, etc. For a water
window, nobody wit'h sense would think
of introducing any material except rocks,
sand, water plants and all such objects
as are found in these localities naturally.
Special design windows ore the place,
and the only place, for fabrics like chif-
fon and ribbon. EibJ)on should nOt be
used in rustic effects, like twig baskets,
any more than a fine vase should be set
against a stump, or ice cream be served
with salted peanuts. To anyone who
thinks at all about the common sense
j)art, these little proprieties will occur,
and require no debate as to their adop-
tion.

It is often quite a help to introduce
some object as a center to tie* to in a
decoration, although a poor ffed to in-
dulge in too often. It may orNmay not
be much in evidence in the finished pic-
ture. As a rule, it is best to keep the
object largely hidden or inconspicuous.

Various Designs in Roses. •
Given several dozen roses, carnations,
peonies or several hundred cornflowers,
peas or daisies; problem, to find a sug-
gestive plan for display. What do roses
do in their habitat! For one thing, some
of them climb. Then provide something
for them to climb upon, as a trellis, arch,
arbor, garden gate or wall. The first
three may be made of bronzed or greened
poultry wire. If an arbor is attempted,
let it be placed so that the observer
may look through, and not at the side.
Bring the entrance close to the glass, and
make the arbor as deep as the window
will allow. Fill in underneath with
primroses, cinerarias, begonias, or other
low-growing plants, whichever happen
to be in season. tJse long-stemmed, full-
blown roses, set in slender vases close to
the sides of the arbor, inside or out.

Weave stems in and out of the meshes
and see that the lower ends reach the
water. Trim the arch irregularly and
not very heavily, and bank ferns or jars
of short-stemmed roses around the base,
covering the, vases and pots with moss,
but not with artificial pot covers. Here

the other. A trellis the shape of a lad-
der or a tennis racket can be made and
trimmed in the same fashion. Roses so
placed and left undisturbed will last(sev-
eral days, even though nearly full blbwa
when first put in.

Another plan for using roses in some-
what of a natural fashion is the making
of a hedge by loosely arranging a num-
ber of low bowls of roses in a thick line
resembling a hedge. Conceal the vases
behind some cut foliage or low plants.
Place a few vases of long-stemmed roses
or other graceful flowers behind the
hedge and let some fall over the hedge,
while others stand high to resemble
plants growing in a garden beyond.

and every other place, always be careful
about the coloring.

Roses on Arches and Trellises.

A more simple design of the same
description can be made of one or two
arches set side by side or one behind

of long and short-stemmed roses mixed,
and loosely placed in vases about the
bases of two columns. On the top of
each column place a basket of loosely
arranged roses, some of which fall nearly
far enough down to touch those clustered
below. Cover or bank up the vases 89

in the preceding decorations. This
should always be done when simulating
growing plants.

Now, what is one way of displaying
carnations to good advantage? After
a little study of the flowers and the
habits o^ the plant we receive the impres-
sion that we are in the company of some
demure, old-fashioned body, in contrast
with the traditional stateliness of the
rose. A flower lover was once heard to
remark that he always liked a carna-
tion, for it is "such a neat flower."

A Scene in an Old Garden.

In the grandmothers' gardens the
pinks grew in clumps and we naturally
associate them with the old-time ribbon-

grasBvaud growing next to the garden
walks. * Try this for a carnation window
sometime. The mechanical contrivance
will be much like the foregoing. Leave
plenty of space between the clumps, be
generous with foliage, and the only lack
will be a gentle breeze to set the flow-
ers swinging.

Peonies grow with a wealtn of dark,
rich foliage. Arrange sparsely, with no
other flowers, ranging the colors care-
fully from the rich red down through
the rose-pinks to the lightest tints, called
by courtesy white. Darkest colors should^
be placed nearest the light side of the
window. The light ones will show them-
selves from the back of the window.

PROPAGATING GERANIUMS.

The Use of Outdoor Wood.

At the recent meeting of the Iowa
State Florists' Association, William
Trillow, of Des Moines, made a brief
talk on a subject of his own selection,
' * Propagation of Geraniums from Cut-
tings Taken from Outdoor Plants." Mr.
Trillow said that his reason for choos-
ing this subject was not so much to
impart information as to get it, as his
own success had not been especiaJly
gratifying. The substance of his talk
and the discussion which followed it was
about as follows:

*'My observation is that writers do
not devote as much attention to the ge-
ranium as they should. The propaga-
tion of carnations, roses, chrysanthe-
mums, etc., is hashed over at conventions
and in trade paper articles several times
a year, while the old-fashioned geranium
is hardly taken any notice of. Some
say that anybody can grow geraniums.
That is true under normal conditions;
anyone with ordinary knowledge of the
business can root ninety-five per cent of
the geranium cuttings from wood grown
under glass, but it is unusual for the
best of growers to get more than fifty to
sixty per cent from wood taken from
plants grown out-of-doors. My own ex-
perience ha^ been about this propor-
tion. ' '

In the discussion which followed, J.
S. "Wilson, now located in Des Moines,
said that from fifty to sixty per cent
was as much as he could get until he hit
upon the plan of potting the cuttings
on a bench exposed to full sunlight,
giving one soaking of water and not
giving any more unless they became
dust-dry.

J. T. Temple, of Davenport, suggested
the same treatment, while Mr. Polland,
of Eldora, la., says his plan is to
dibble the cuttings in shallow flats of
soil and sand, watering thoroughly and
placing in full sunlight on a level place
outdoors. He says by this method he can
root ninety-five to 100 per cent. He'says
that, with the exception of the first
watering, they gdt no more moisture ex-

cept that which they may get from
rain and dew.

"To the man with a small greenhouse,
growing and selling a general line at re-
tail," says Mr. Trillow, "I think the
geranium is just as much a bread and
butter plant as the rose or carnation,
and the greater percentage we can root
from outdoor wood in the fall saves that
much extra l^bor in the winter, besides
making better plants for spring sales.
True enough, these can be grown rap-
idly indoors during the winter, and every
cutting will root, but the same space
that it takes to grow them in will grow

a few hundred extra carnation plants,
the flowers of which will add materially
to the year's revenue.

"This is propagation month and an
opportune time for those interested to
give their experiences through the Re-
view and tell how to root 100 per cent
of the geranium cuttings frofli outdoor-
grown wood."

SOIL FROM MUM BENCHES.

Will soil taken from mum benches
grow good geraniums for spring sales?
I grow about 2u,000, in 4-inch. Or can
soil of mum benches be used again next
year by heaping it outdoors, adding sev-
eral layers of good cow manure and
allowing it to remain outdoors all win-
ter? I have plenty of well prepared soil
outdoors, but thought of saving time
and labor by using indoor mum soil,
which was well prepgired, mulched and
fed with manure water. H. J. H."

Soil taken from, chrysanthemum
benches, piled up and allowed to freeze,
is quite good enough for spring ge-
raniums. A sprinkling of bone meal,
added at the time of using, will be of
great benefit.

New soil is preferable for mums, but
by carefully adding potash and bone
meal to the old soil and turning it over
a few times in spring before using it
again, good stock can be produced. This
old soil will naturally require more feed-
ing than new soil, both by way of mulch-
ing and liquid feeding. Ribes.

St. Joseph, Mo. — On the testimony of
three physicians, August 22, a jury in
the probate court decided that John W.
Krumm is insane. A guardian was ap-
pointed and he was committed to a hos-
pital. Mr, Krumm had not been ra-
tional since he suffered a stroke of apo-
plexy more than two months ago.

MILDEW ON ROSES.

Enclosed you will find a branch of
Bridesmaid rose with some kind of for-
eign substance on it. Can you tell us
what it is? This is the first time we
have seen anything of this kind. This
and one other branch of the same kind
are the only ones we have found so far.

D. P. V.

These plants are affected with mildew,
a common trouble at this season.

Dust the foliage with flowers of sul-
phur, choosing a bright day for the op-

eration. Close the ventilators to cause
the temperature to rise to 95 degrees, to
liberate the fumes, taking care not to let
it remain so very long, as it may cause
burning. Repeat this once a week.
When firing commences, paint the pipes
with the following mixture, of about
the consistency of paint: Sulphur,
two parts; air-slaked lime, one part;
water sufficient, and close the house for
an hour or so during the coldest part
of the night. Repeat until the trouble
disappears, Ribes.

CULTURE OF BEAUTY ROSES.

We wish to ask a few que^nons about
Beauties, as we have never grown any
before. We have 3-inch Beauties, planted
July 29, good plants in solid benches,
grown as follows: ±irst we put in some

good hard clay, about three inches; then
aboat tiro inches of rough cinders for
drainage, and then four inches of good
rose BoiL We have a concrete wall twelve
inches high, which leaves about three
inches of space to fill in with soil later.
Should we cut back the young stock to
make them break from the bottom? If
so, how soon could we expect to cut Beau-
ties? What treatment shqirfld they have
from now on until spring? Should we
put aid© Tentilation in the house? When
should we dry them oflf to carry them
over for another year? Any information
will b« greatly appreciated. U. G.

Beauties handled as these have been
should under favorable conditions give a
good cut for the holidays or sooner. In
order to have nice, bushy plants, the top»
should be cut back to a good ripe eye.
This rose, being a rank feeder, requires
mulching earlier than most other roses,
and toward spring, when the days begin
to lengthen, it can stand a lot of liquid
feeding.

There is really no necessity for side
ventilation, if the top ventilation is
ample.

Carrying Beauties over a second sea-
son is not a profitable experiment, except
under the care of an expert, and even
then it is risky.

In the meantime cultivate once a week ;
keep all weeds in subjection, give plenty
of water and air and keep the house
clear of insects and fungous pests.

RiBES.

MOULTON ROSE AS A REDDER.

The accompanying illustration shows
a bed of the rose. Miss Kate Moulton,
originated by John Monson, of the Min-
neapolis Floral Co., Minneapolis, photo-
graphed at Elitch's Gardens, Denver, by
J. H, Langer for the Denver Post.

This presents a circular bed of twenty-
five Moulton roses, which has been a
mass of bloom during the whole summer.
It is the most attractive bed among a

number of fine collections of blooming
plants, and enthusiasts in floriculture are
delighted with this addition to outdoor
blooming roses.

It is found that the Colorado climate
is peculiarly adapted to this rose, and
the growth of stem and perfection of
flower are seen better here than at its
birthplace in' Minnesota. M. E. M.

THRIPS IN ROSEBUDS.

We inclose a few samples of rosebuds
that are blasted, and should be pleased
to learn the cause of their acting in this
way. We are cutting them from stock
carried over from last year 'and have the
glass shaded with a light coat of white-
wash. The plants are in a healthy con-
dition and are producing good'stock, but
about five per cent are like these samples.
J.^ H. C.

These buds are badly infested with
thrips, one of the worst pests that can
get into a rose house and very diflicult to
eradicate. It is usually introduced into
the house with • manure that has been_
neglected by being overrun with weeds.

Keep the walks, the space beneath the
benches and the soil on the benches clear
of weeds, as these- are the breeding
places. Fumigate lightly and ptersistently
with tobacco, to which has been added
some red pepper.

It is a mistake to have shading on the
glass. This is bound to make both buds
and foliage soft and an easy prey to any
trouble. Sunshine and light are the life
of the rose. Eibes.

DISBUDDING ROSES.

Will you please tell me something
about disbudding roses? When two or
three leaves are cut from the top of a
long ground shoot, how many of the
shoots that follow are to be left, and
which ones? When a lot of blind wood
comes, is that to be left on ? E. E. G.

The method of disbudding, as prac-

ticed by experts where teas or hybrid
teas are concerned, is to cut off about
half of the flower stem. This is done
with the object of leaving only the best
and most mature eyes to form the future
flower stem.

With young plants it is not good pol-
icy to denude the plant of too much
foliage at one time, as this has a tend-
ency to weaken the plant and cause a
crop of blind wood. "

The shoots which follow this cutting
back most invariably are flower stems,
and, if the stock is vigorous and well
attended to by way of feeding, watering
and ventilating, will produce a good crop
before Thanksgiving. Ribes.

AFTERTHOUGHTS.

Seated alone, on a swiftly moving,
west-bound train, with every revolution
of the wheels bearing me nearer home
and its multitudinous duties, I was in
a mood to think back over the few days
just past and remember some of the
delights of them.

Mighty Niagara! Who can tell of
thy varying moods, under sunny skies
or gray, enveloped in mist or spanned
by jL-iainbow, whose end could never
J^reacnfed, so hazardous were the at-
tempt? It seems to me I saw Niagara
from eve/y point of vantage, caught
langing aspect, listened to the
the Infinite as it rolled on its
irons way, seething and gobbing,
ig and tossing, until after a
'mighty crescendo it died away to a faint
diminuendo on its way down the gorge.

out iiiajestically below the pine-clad bills,
where sleeps the hero of Queenstown
Heights. And we can scarcely believe
we are Rooking at the same river, so
changed is it in every way. Frowning
cliffs, bare and rugfged, have given way
on one side to the army of pines march-
ing up and down, and on the other side
fields and orchards hieet our gaze.

Tlien beautiful Toronto. What a mod-
el of the city beautiful was the portion
of it that we saw! Ivy-covered churches,
whose chimes pealed merrily out and
Avhose spires pierced the blue of the
sky. Velvet lawns, surrounding magnifi-
cent residences that seemed to fit that
particular part of the picture. Busy

men and women, but none too busy to be
courteous to strangers.

And on our homeward way, as we
stopped over at Detroit, we should have
felt repaid had we heard nothing else
than the sermon, whose central thought
keeps repeating itself to us. However,
friends took us in charge and we in-
deed saw the beauties of boulevard,
avenue, park, river and islands.

As the train sped on between fields of
tasseled corn or roadways paved with
gold, I felt as though "truly our lines
are fallen in pleasant places," and the
joys of this trip will serve as bright
memories throughout the year's work,
whatever and wherever it may be.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

Cinerarias.

With the arrival of cooler nights the
little cinerarias are now making much
more rapid growth. We have moved our
earliest batch into 4-inch pots. These
will give ^excellent stock for blooming
early in the new year. The later sow-
ings have just been transplanted and
can be grown along cool during the win-
ter, so as to make salable plants during
March and April. The only place for
cinerarias for the next two months is a
coldframe, where they can be afforded
lath shade covering on bright days, the
plants being exposed to the heavy night
dews, which seem much to their liking.
Some tobacco stems are renewed once a
fortnight among the pots, so that green
aphis can get no foothold. Keep a sharp
lookout for green caterpillars on the
cineraria foliage. A day's neglect in
hand-picking may mean that your entire
batch of plants will be destroyed.

Hydrangeas.

It is time to lift and pot hydrangea
plants which have been growing in the
open ground during the summer. Do
not be afraid to shake a good portion of
the soil away from the roots; so long as
you keep the latter intact, you are all
right, for with a slight shade for a few
days and frequent light sprayings the
roots will soon find their way around
the sides of tlie pots. Press the soil
firmly in the pots and stand the plants
in an open, sunny spot ^fter the first
week, so that the sun can warm the pots
and make root action active. By keep-
ing the soil moist it is surprising how
fast the pots will fill with roots.

Plants you have grown along from
spring cuttings should receive their final
shift at once. Give them all possible
light and sun. They will .do better out-
side than under glass for a few weeks
longer. If you want some plants for
early forcing, these, being well pot-
bound, can gradually have their water
supply reduced from th^s time, to ripen
the wood well.

Genistas.

Use the shears on the genistas to keep
them shapely. It is true there are some

growers who seem to prefer naturally
grown plants, but nine-tenths of your
customers will prefer a plant with a
nice, round, shapely head to one with
two or three long shoots. We hope you
have not made the mistake of planting
out your genistas, for these plants lift
poorly. If you want some nice little
plants in 3-inch or 4-inch pots for spring
sales, put in a batch of cuttingje now.
Many customers take a liking to these
miniature specimens. They are ^rtainly
pretty and invariably sell well.

Calceolaria Rugosa.

Plants of Calceolaria rugosa do not
commence to make suitable propagating
wood until cool weather, usually by the
first week in September. If your stock
plants were headed back, they will by
this time have sent out a crop of nice
succulent cuttings, which will root freely
in a coldframe or greenhouse with a
north aspect. Calceolarias are always
impatient of heat, so do not attempt
rooting them in bottom heat or a steamy
propagating house. For late spring and
Memorial day trade. Calceolaria rugosa
is becoming increasingly popular.

Bedding Geraniums.

The first week in September is suffi-
ciently early to start the propagation of
geraniums in the southern states. The
time might well be delayed a week or
ten days with advantage. Geraniums
root much better in cool than warm
weather. The percentage of loss is
usually heavy if an outdoor temperature
of 90 degrees in the shade arrives after
the cuttings are inserted. Cuttings fi;om
the open ground are much softer and
more liable to damp off than those pro-
duced under glass. If you have an
abundance of stock to choose from,
reject those with thick, soft, fleshy
shoots, preferring those with shorter and
wirier wood. As to making your cut-
tings, they will root whether cut under
a pair of leaves or not, but our experi-
ence has been that the percentage of
damping off has been much heavier from
tliose not cut directly below tne leaves.
You can easily prove this for yourself
by trying a batch under each' method.

If you can give them the necessary

space and want first-class plants for
spring sales, put each cutting singly in
2-inch pots of sandy loam and stand on
the bench of a house where the cuttings
can have the fullest sunlight. Shade at
any time is unnecessary and harmful
for geranium cuttings. It superinduces
a soft, flabby growth and stock grown
in this way becomes an easy prey to
blight. In making your cuttings, trim
off the side scales clean and cut off all
leaves larger -than a half-dollar in size.
Eemember that your young stock will
make leaf growth rapidly and, unless
they are well trimmed* off at the start,
they will soon become crowded.

If lack of space makes it impossible to
give the cuttings individual pots, place
them in well drained flats of sharp sand.
One 30x12x4 will hold 150 to 200 cut-
tings. After one thorough soaking, allow
the sand or soil to become fairly dry
before applying any more water.

"there are this season many complaints
of plants being badly affected with
blight. It is much better not to propa-
gate from such stock. There are a num-
ber of reliable geranium specialists who
will sell you clean stock at low rates.
Get in new stock now and, if you want
to keep fully up to date, try one or two
oft the newer varieties of merit.

Amaryllis.

It is time to gradually reduce the
water supply on amaryllis, and within a
couple of weeks they may be laid under
a bench in a greenhouse where they will
be tolerably dry. Failing such a loca-
tion, stand them on a bench in your
potting-shed, where they can be out of
the way. With seedlings there must be
no resting period until the plants bloom.
This may take place in eighteen months
or it may be three years. Keep them
potted and growing along. If a good
batch is needed and you can plant them
in a piece of bench in a carnation tem^
perature, you will be surprised at the
remarkable growth they will make in
one season. When benched they should
be spaced sufficiently far apart so that
they can remain undisturbed until tjiey
flower.

Freesias.

It is timexto get in another good-sized
batch of freesias. It is well to make
successional plantings once in two weeks
until the beginning of October. The
earliest lot will now have made consid-
erable growth. Except for the damage
caused by dtenching rains, these would
be better outdoors for a few weeks. Sash
protection should be afforded during
heavy cloud-bursts. Keep the surface
soil loosened and allow the soil to dry
out well before soaking it. An excess
of moisture in hot weather will start rot-
ting of the stems.

Lilies.

Pot the lily bulbs as soon as received.
It is poor policy to leave them packed
tightly in boxes, where they will prob-
ably make a network of roots if left a
few days. Easter comes eight days
earlier in 1909 than in 1908. There is
still ample time to pot up bulbs for that
great festive occasion, but if you have
potted good bulbs now there will be less
trouble retarding these for Easter than
in forcing late potted ones for the same
holiday. The early potted lot of Har-
risii are rooting freely, and here and
there shoots are appearing. Do not be
in too big a hurry about rushing these
into the greenhouse. Let the pots be-
come \^cTr^lled with roots and be sure

not to overwater. Too much moisture in
the early stages of growth is responsible
for much of the so-called disease. ^

The Madonna lily, L. candidum, wants
potting as soon as it is received, as leaf
growth is already appearing on some of
the bulbs when received. Stand the pots
outside in full sun and leave them there
until there is quite sharp frost. Of the
several types of this useful lily on the
market, the broad petaled French is the
best.

Ventilation.

Quito cool nights are probable dur-
ing September. The majority of country
florists do not want to start fire heat
yet a while, and there is really no need
of it, unless roses or plants rf a tropical
nature are grown. With the latter a
warming of the pipes in damp weather
and on cool nightafwill be helpful. It is
poor policy to close down the ventilators
tight as soon as cool nights arrive. This
causes a damp and musty atmosphere,
one much more harmful to plant life
than if a few inches of top and bo.ttom
air were left OTi. Avoid late syringing
overhead now, so that foliage and paths
will be dry at nightfall, unless you are
Rising fire heat.

A UNIQUE DISPLAY.

Much emphasis lias of late been put
upon the desirability of every florist
maintaining a first-class display on his
home grounds. It has been ])ointed out
that a neat, well-kept place is a model
for all the neighborhood, but that neg-
lected surroundings are a positive ob-
stacle to floricultural progress. It has
been said that the florist's own place
stands in the same position as the cob-
bler's wife, who must go with ragged
shoes while other people's footwear gets
mended, but this should never be. The
grounds around a greenhouse establish-
ment doing a retail business are the
show window of that place — and who
of the downtown retailers would think

of neglecting the show window? It
always is fixed up as well as the skill
of the owner will admit.

A. G. Greiner, at St. Louis, believes
in making a show on his home grounds,
even though, only a small part of his
trade is local. His specialty is the
cactus and he makes a unique display,
as may be seen from the accompanying
illustration reproduced from a recent
photograph. Mr. Greiner 's stock of cacti
is said to be the largest commercial col-
lection of these plants in the United
States, and the planting on his home
grounds attracts a great deal of atten-
tion from the public.

SPANISH IRIS.

Can Spanish iris bylbs be successfully
grown a second time, or would you ad-
vise growing them a second time after
having failed with them the first time,
and how can they be grown successfully?
"^ F. J. K.

The bulbs of Spanisli iris are of no
value a second season for forcing, but
will last for several years outdoors in
your state (Virginia). For indoor cul-
ture put the bulbs in flats four inches
deep as soon as received. A flat 12x30x4
will hold 100 bulbs. After planting place
in a frame or cool pit, but do not cover
with ashes or soil, as you would tulips or
narcissi. Give them a light position all
the time to prevent them from becoming
drawn. 'In January you can place in a
house where the night temperature runs
from 45 to 50 degrees, but on no occa-
sion let it be any warmer, as these bulbs
will simply not stand forcing such as
you would give the general run of Dutch
bulbs. An abundant supply of water,
occasional doses of liquid manure and a
position well up to the light are necessary
for first-class flowers. These may be had
from March to June, according to the
time they are housed. They can also be
planted in benches in a cool house, but

flats are to be preferred, as they can be
moved around at will.

For outdoor culture, plant in Novem-
ber, just before the ground freezes, and
give a covering of leaves or straw when
the surface is hard frozen. If you plant
in September, when you . get the bulbs,
they will make considerable growth above
ground before winter, although severe
cold does not seem to injure such growths
materially. C. AV.

ROOT LOUSE ON ASTERSl

My asters have been a failure. The.
green root louse killed them. Is thei'e
any preventive for another year?

P. S.

Give the plants, if possible, a new piece
of land another year, where asters have
not previously been grown. Give the
ground a liberal dressing of air-slaked
lime; plow it and leave rough over win-
ter. In early spring give a good ooating
of manure to the land and harrow ^t in.
Once the root lice have secured a good
start in a bed of growing plauts, it is
diflicult to eradicate them. Scattering
tobacco dust around the stems and . hoe-
ing it in has proved beneficial. Liquid
tobacco extract will kill the pests, but it
is a slow job to apply it, besides being
quite expensive if your field is a large
one. C. W.

THE SHREWSBURY FLOWER SHOW

A Great Engti^ Exhibition.

This exhibition, which is conceded to
be jthe largest and most successful flower
show in the world, held its thirty-third
annual show August 19 and 20, and your
humble scribe, being a Shropshire man
by birth, made a point ©f being present
and received much profit and pleasure
thereby. The second day was very wet, but
notwithstanding this, I understand that
some 80,000 people paid for admission,
the attendance every year running from
110,000 to 120,000 for the two days of
the show.

In an attempt to find the cause of the
popularity of the show, I had several
talks with W. "W. Naunton, who has
been honorable secretary continuously
since 1875. From him I found out that
upward of forty judges were engaged,
to complete the worK„quickly this year;
that many entries were refused on ac-
count of lack of space, and that even
then it took ten large tents to hold the

horticultural side of the fete, I would say
that the groups and principal pjant
classes were won by J. Cypher, of Chel-
tenham, who has for many years held an
unbroken record in this line. His plants
of Ixora Duffii and I. Williamsii Italica
profusa and Erica Eweriana were sim-
ply marvelous and the groups, in which
there was keen competition, were an ob-
ject lesson to every lover of the beau-
tifui.

Sweet Peas.

Perhaps the feature of the show was
the display of. sweet peas. It would
seem that Shropshire is the center of
sweet pea growing, though I have seen
sweet peas in all parts of England dur-
ing the last month that positively beg-
gar description. It is, of course, known
to every grower that peas need a, cool,
deep, moist soil, with lots of water, and
these conditions we cannot get in Amer-
ica, so we can never hope to attain the
same results. Eckford's exhibit con-
tained some wonderful flowers of Spen-
cer, St. George, Evelyn Hemus, Pink

exhibits. Much of the success of the
show is undoubtedly due to the outside
attractions that are provided, these tak-
ing the form of horse leaping contests,
balloon ascensions, trapeze performances,
fireworks, and splendid music.

Groups of Plants.

Confining myself, as I must, to the

Pearl, John Ingman (the most striking
of the lot) and Nancy Perkins.

H. Jones, of Ruabon, staged the finest
flowers of the show and captured ■ most
of the prizes.

Double Tuberous Begfonias.

Double tuberous begonias were a great
feature, T. S. Ware gaining first award

with Blackmore & Langdon a good
second. The former had a wonderful va-
riety called Lady Cromer in his exhibit,
which was a feature. It was a lovely
shade of pink, and individual flowers
were nine inches across. As showing
how quickly the public jump at a ster-
ling novelty in this line, I was assured
that 500 plants of this variety were sold
on the first day at two guineas each, or
$10. No wonder the trade is anxious to
exhibit at Shrewsbury. C. Small, Pink
Pearl and W. Sparshott were also splen-
did varieties.

Dahlias were a grand feature, the
cactus section being particularly beauti-
ful. There, again, the cooler climate of
England helps the grower and probably
we shall never see such flowers ia Amer-
ica as' were staged at Shrewsbury.

American Gututions.

American carnations were well shown
by Messrs. Cutbush, of Highgate, Hugh
Low and several others. A chat with
Ml*. Cutbush reveals that White Perfec-
tion is the finest white in England today.
Other varieties that do finely are Win-
sor, Lady Bountiful, Beacon, Robert
Craig and, of course. Enchantress. The
English variety Britannia was well
shown.

Gladioli.

Gladioli were staged in quantity, the-
finest being set up by Kelway & Son,,
of Langport. I am not an expert on
gladioli, but I thought these spikes were-
certainly the finest I ever saw. Many
of the colors were new to me. Dorothy
Kelwa;^ is a lovely blush; The Sirdai,
dark crimson; Golden Measure and
Golden Ray, two fine yellows. Baron
Goldstein and Painted Lady wera th('
most prominent. Whether our more bril-
liant sunshine would not bleach these
lovely colors is an open question, but
they are worth trying.

Herbaceous Plants.

Herbaceous plants were staged by a
number of exhibitors and, needless to-
say, all in splendid condition. Space for-
bids a mention of all, but in this section
I noticed a grand new oriental poppy, in
the collection of Amos Perry, Enfield,
called Mrs. Perry. This was a lovely
shade of salmon pink, the individual
flowers being eight inches across.

Early Flowerins Chrysanthemums.

Early flowering chrysanthemums are
not encouraged to any great extent by
the management, as they think there is'
no need for them so early in the season,
but there were many vases on exhibition,
nevertheless. Mrs. Sydenham, Nina Blick,.
Mattie, Hector, A. Willis, Goacher's
Crimson, Estelle, Polly, Stella, Well's
Scarlet, Caledonia and The Champion
were perhaps the best.

It was too late to see roses at their
best, though many were staged. The
Dicksons, between them, captured most
of the competitive classes. I noticed
several fine vases of the new Mrs. Jar-
dine on exhibition, and also Richmond,
though the latter was rather single.

The baskets of cut flowers and
epergnes, and made-up work of every
description, were of marvelous beauty
and grace. I presume they represented
the best work of the finest floral artists
of the country and thoy were an educa-
tion in themselves.

Fruits.

The fruit classes, while they were
beautifully staged, wore disappointing to

me as regards quality, •when I reflected
that this was the representative show
of the country. The grapes were not
so large in either berry or bunch as I
had anticipated. I had anticipated that
American grown peaches and nectarines
would show more color than English
fruits, but I had expected to see finer
grapes at such a show as Shrewsbury.

Vegetables.

In the vegetable classes, which were
well filled, were some marvelous dis-
plays. B. Beckett, who has been known
for many years as an expert in this line,
stood head and shoulders above his com-
petitors. Such peas and onions and run-
ner beans I had only dreamed of.

In conclusion I would say that some
day we may get such a show in America
as has been staged in Shrewsbury this
week, but I fear the present generation
of flower lovers will not see it. Thirty-
three years of successful effort have ac-
complished much and Shrewsbury is to
be congratulated.

BULB GROVING IN VIRGINIA.

[A synopala of a paper by James Gnllle, of
Portsmouth, Va., read before the FlorlstB* Club
of Pblladelptala, September 1, 1908.]

Perhaps there are few among you
who have any idea to what gigantic pro-
portions the work of growing bulbs in
Virginia has now extended, or of the
effect it is likely to have, in the near
future, on the bulb growing industry of
the United States, for, if we keep on as
we have commenced, it will not be many
years before a large proportion of the
money now spent in Europe for bulbs
will remain in this country.

I shall first try to give you our rea-
sons for starting bulb-growing here, and
also why we chose Portsmouth as our
starting point.

History of the Industry.

Our firm has for years been doing a
large business with America, from the
old country, but the great difficulty of
transportation and trouble with customs
prohibited any great extension in that
line, for anyone who has had the han-
dling of bulbs through the customs house
knows the great trouble, delay and ex-
pense incurred in getting bulbs through.
I have known part of my consignments

to be delayed one week in the New York
customs house for examination, and, as
is usual in such cases, the bulbs retained
were generally the ones that we wanted
most. Then there is often a dispute as
to valuation.

I well remember a case which hap-
pened to us a year prior to my coming
over. Our firm came across a good lot
of grandiflorus in France, which the
growers were anxious to sell, and for
which they accepted a rather low price.
We ordered them sent to the United
States, to our representative in New
York, with .invoice, but when these bulbs
were examined the customs officers
thought that they were undervalued, and
not only did they increase the valuation
but I believe they fined us as well. As
our people are nearly 4,000 miles away,
by the time these matters were laid be-
fore them it was too late to protest, as I
believe all protests must be entered be-
fore the expiration of ten days.

Then in transportation, though I be-
lieve the companies do all they can (pos-
sibly) for us, there is always the danger

of heating if the bulbs are not properly
packed. Besides, it was practically im-
possible to handle small orders, as the
freight was prohibitive on less than ton
lots.

Feeling certain that the United States,
with their vast resources, could give us
the accommodation we were looking for,
our firm decided to try to grow bulbs
here. We know that bulb growing lias
been tried in Petersburg, but we were
not exactly satisfied with the results,
more especially as it was nearly impos-
sible to lift the bulbs in the summer,
owing to the land baking and getting
nearly as hard as stone.

Advantages in the South.

On coming a little farther south, we
found land nearly the same as that in
Holland. For miles around the land does
not rise more than ten feet above high
water mark. It is also light and sandy,
thus allowing us to lift our bulbs at any
time during the season.

Owing to the low situation, the bulbs
are always resting on a cool bottom, for

PROPAGATING SAND.

Can you give me instructions aS to the
best way of washing and baking sand for
propagating usef We will use six or
eight wagon-loads of sand for tiiis pur-
pose. We have to make a long haul on
same, and I wish to know if it would be
safe to use the same sand several seasons
by baking it. This would save hauling
new sand every year. As I plan to use
the sand over several limes, I think it
would be worth while to wash it in the
start or get washed sand. I will thank
you for any suggestions or advice in this
line. H. R. M.

While it is lietter to use fresh sand
each year, it would be possible for you
to use it several seasons. After your
propagating for the season is over,'*clean

out the sand and lay it outdoors on con- '
Crete or shutters to prevent dirt getting
mixed in it. Let the sun bake it well and
keep turning it over to give it a thorough
drying out. If much dirt has got mixed
in the sand, use a hose with a good water
pressure. Screw on a brass rose and,
after spreading the sand out thinly, give
it a thorough drenching with a little
slope to the ground. You will see plenty
of dirt wash away. Give it an occasional
stir-up to make sure the cleaning is well
done. If you do not want to go to the
trouble of cleaning the sand out and
have steam on your place, sterilize the
sand to kill all germs and larva;. Then
stir it over well and drench with the hose,
allowing the sun to bake it well after-
wards. It will pay to clean out the sand
eaclj .season, in order to see that the
drainage below it is good. C. W.

CARNATION NOTES.- EAST.

•The Question of Fall Mulching.

For about two months after housing,
our attention should be given almost
wholly to preparing the plants for the
strain of winter forcing. To be sure,
there is more or less call for the divine
flower during the chrysanthemum sea-
son, but the demand is limited and the
price low. Besides, there are always
those who imagine they can cat the cake
and have it, too.

It seems to be the opinion of some
that a fall mulch is one of the neces-
sary factors in growing carnations and
I will not say but that, under certain
circumstances, it might be advisable.
However, with present-day methods, it
see;ms a needless outlay of time.

It is not enough that we grow superior
blooms, but we owe it to ourselves to
]troduce them at the lowest possible fig-
ure and be in position to supply in quan-
tity at the season of high prices. To do
this, one cannot cut large quantities dur-
ing the fall months and expect to be in
crop at the holidays. Neither can the
plants be highly fed while undergoing
the change from outdoor plants to green-
house ones, and go into winter quarters
in condition to make good. '

A Plausible Reason for Mulching.

The idea' of fall nuilching originated,
it is said, from the observance of small
white rootlets on the soil surface soon
after reestablish ment of the plants, thus
leading to the supposition tiiat the car^
nation was a natural surface feeder.

Now, I am one of those who never
had any sympathy with such theory, be-
lieving, as I do, that careless watering,
insufficient depth of soil and improper
mechanical condition or quality of soil
are the causes which lead these rootlets
to seek the surface. Given good soil, of
a depth to allow establishment of a
normal root system, with sufficient water
to maintain even moisture through the
whole, and you will see little evidenge of
surface feeding.

It seems to me a false economy to
scrimp in depth of soil, for at no late
day an extra amount will be needed in
the form of mulch, consuming much more
time to apply than when filling benches.

The Use of Bone Meal.

Our custom has been at bench-filling
time to use only a small portion of the
bone meal to be employed, but as soon
as the plants are well under way, we
top-dress with the remainder and rake
it in lightly.

By the way, notwithstanding the state-
ment recently given to the press that
bone meal is not needed by the carna-
tion grower, do not under any circum-
stances attempt to do without it. 1
have visited growers who declared they
did not use it and they grew first-class
blooms, too, but there was something
that they could not, or at least did not,
explain. This bone meal question was
tried out some years ago by the chry-
santhemum growers, and they still con-
tinue its use. Geo. S. Osborn.

A BEGINNER IN CARNATIONS.

I am going to build a greenhouse,
20x108 feet, and will use it mostly for
carnations. I read in the Eeview of
Jyly 2 about the semi-solid beds, but
do not understand them exactly. Do you
mean that you level the ground and put
in cinders and' four inches of good soil
to put the carnations in?

How high would the house be to tlie
oaves and how high to the ridge? How
many pipes would I need to heat a house
like mine? I was thinking of having
tltree benches and two walks, with the
benches on the sides four feet wide and
the middle bench eight feet wide, in a
house six feet to the eaves and twelve
feet to the ridge. But, as I understand,
the semi-solid beds would be lower and
the house could be made lower.

I have been growing flowers to sell
for a long time, but have never had a
greenhouse. What size of boiler Avould;,
I need to heat my house and what rise)
would the flow pipe require in the Im
feet?

In tlie raised benches is it necessarv

to have drainage in the bottom anJ
where does the surplus water go when
watering plants? The ground slopes a
little north and the lot runs north and
south. Would the boiler have to be in
a pit? I intend to have the house
heated with hot water.

How are the posts to be set — in the
ground and cemented for the outside of
the greenhouse, or is it best to have a
sill and put studding to nail the boards-
on for the wall? We have zero weather
and sometimes 8 degrees below for a few
days, but not often, but 1 would like to
be on the safe side.

In the semi-solid beds do any of the
pipes for heating go under the beds or
only by the wall and paths? Of course,.
I mean the return pipes. Would you ad-
vise me to have a valve to shut oflf some
of the heat when it is not very cold, or
how do you regulate the heat to make
the desired temperature?
-^ What is to be done with the soil after
it has been used? Can it be put on the
ground and made use of outside for a
year and then do for the benches again?
Is lime injurious to most plants, or cau
you wash the benches with lime before
putting in the soil each season?

Can you tell me of a boiler that could
keep an even temperature at night with-
out being up firing, or, in other words^
keeping a night fireman? M. C. J.

This is a sort of omnibus bill and.
takes in about the whole business, from
A to Z. I will answer your questions^
not in rotation as they appear in your
letter, but as you will meet them in your
building operations, etc. I would ad-
vise you to build your house as you in-
tended to build it — six feet from ground
to eaves and about twelve feet to the
ridge — and put about three feet of glass-
in the walls, just below the eaves. This
will give your house fully ten per cent
more efficiency if running north and
south, and even more if it were to run
east and west. I would advise you to
build your house twenty feet six inches
wide, inside measurement, and arrange
the beds as follows: Begin on either side
with a walk eighteen inches wide; next
a bed, four feet six inches; next a walk,
two ifeet; next a bed, four feet six
inches; next a walk, two feet; next a
bed, four feet six inches, and an 18-inch,
walk against the other side. That will
give you three beds of the latest ap-
proved width and enough walks to get
around them, in working, to the best
advantage. Two of the walks will be
two feet wide and in these you will do
the main work, such as wheeling soil,
etc. The walks against the sides of the
iiouse are for such work as cutting
blooms, pulling weeds, disbudding, etc.
Eight-foot beds are entirely too wide
to work to advantage and are consid-
ered a nuisance by up-to-date growers.
This arrangement also gives a better
circulation of air to all the plants, as
well as better light.

The semi-solid beds, such as we build,
are from twelve to eighteen inches high.
We set posts in the ground four feet
apart, and nail the boards which consti-
tute the sides of the beds against the in-
side of these posts. That is, the posts^
stand in the walk and are not touched
by the cinders or soil in which we plant.
Fill in with cinders to within four
inches of the top and then fill up level
with the sides with your soil for plant-
ing.

No pipes are put under these beds.
The pipes are hung overhead and against

n

the walls, and some are laid in the ^Yalks
a few inches above the ground. You
will need at least twelve 2-inch hot water
pipes with a low-pressure system, but if
you use a pump to accelerate circulation
you could cut out at least two of them.
With the small amount of glass that you
Avill have, however, I would prefer hav-
ing a boiler pit and depend on gravity
for circulation. Pumps, etc., are all right
on larger systems and where a night man
is employed, but not on a small system
like yours. Raise up from the boilers to
the highest point and drop all the way
around and back to the boiler. A great
deal of drop is not required ; two per cent
is plenty and less will do. Of greater
importance is that the jlrop be regular,
with no dips in the pipe which will form
pockets and retard circulation. Put
valves on every line of pipe, so that you
can cut off any or all of them as may
. be found necessary to regulate the tem-
perature, r

There are boilers made witu magjtzine-
feed arrangements. Some are advertised
in the Review. I have had no personal
experience with any of them, but t;here
is no reason why they should not work
successfully. You would do wen to in-
stall a thermostat system as well. As to
the size of boiler you will need, the mak-
ers can inform you more intelligently
than I could.

For the posts of your greenhouse get
red cedar if you can, and nail your side
wall boards to them. No sill is neces-
sary at all. Set the postg. in the natural
soil and tamp it firmly, so they will not
allow the walls to spread.

Any excess of water applied to the
beds in watering will go down into the
cinders. That is what they are there
for partly — to afford sufficient drainage.
There should not be much of this, hoAv-
ever, because when water passes through
the soil and runs away it carries plant
food' with it. Even a heavy watering
should be only enough to wet the soil
through and no more.

The soil should be changed every sea-
son, and should not be re-used for several
years at least, and if possible, never.
Lime is usually beneficial to plant growth
and will seldom do any harm if used in-
telligently. Under certain conditions it
•an be made to do harm, and it should
not be applied indiscriminately. A hot
lime wash applied to the benches before
filling them is a good thing.

The Market

Since last report the market has ex-
perienced a condition hardly paralleled
in recent years. Summer dullness is al-
ways looked for, and just as regularly
experienced, but it is rarely that a condi-
tion such as has existed in the last week
has been possible. There has been no
market price to anything. Values have
been lost sight of, and the bulk of busi-
ness done has been forced. Under these
conditions both grower and buyers have
suffered. With the existing demand,
roses have been more than plentiful. The
stock coming in is, of course, anything
but prime, but for ordinary needs at
this season there is little room for com-
plaint. Carnations do not seem to amount
to anything. Few of good quality are
offered, and the general arrivals com-
mand only small prices. ' Asters sell well
when they are good, hut poor stock is
overloading the market. Dahlias have

made their appearance and find a ready
sale. There is a poor grade of gladioli
this season, with little demand. Tube-
roses have begun to arrive and sell fairly
well.

THE CORNER LOCK.

Otto G. Koenig, of St. Louis, says
that the disposal of the hotbed frames
after they were through with them in
spring always was a problem until F. L.
Dubrava came to their rescue with the
corner lock device exhibited by Mr.
Koenig at the S. A. F. convention at
Niagara Falls. Before they used this
invention the hotbed frames were made
with posts set in the ground, the sides
being knocked off and stacked up when
not in use, but with this coi^r lock de-
vice no posts are necessary. The accom-
panying illustration shows a frame with
three corners fast in the locks, the lock
for the fourth corner being set beside
the frame. This lock slips onto the cor-
ner without effort and may be screwed
up with the fingers tight enough to do
the work. When the season for the use
of frames has ended it is the work of
but a moment to unscrew the locks, when
the frame falls apart and may be
stacked away and the ground left entire-
ly clear.

The .i"<JKes at Niagara Falls consid-
ered the device worthy of high com-
mendation and a patent has been ap-
plied for.

rain and chill, came the first signs of
the fall revival and that not in any
increase in prices, but in a larger demand
for stock and a lesser surplus than usual
when the day's requirements had been
satisfied. But Monday was hot and dull
again and improvement can hardly
be hoped for before the frosts have
banished the outdoor supplies, and the
turmoil and uncertainty of the election
are over. Nevertheless, the outlook is op-
timistic. The general confidence of
grower and Avholesaler is unabated and
a great season is evidently anticipated
by all.

Roses of every kind are now abundant.
Thousands of Richmonds last week could
not be cleared at anj' reasonable figure,
and one distributor declared there was
no demand for red roses whatever, and
lie could not give them away. Quality
is rapidly improving, but prices do not
keep pace and large quantities can be
bought at low rates. At times, the best
selected Brides and Maids would bring
no more than $2 per hundred.

The outdoor stock is as abundant as
ever, hydrangeas, asters and gladioli es-
pecially. Some grand asters are arriv-
ing from Rochester and other western
cities. No chrysanthemums of similar
size can compare with them. These com-
nmnd good prices, some" as high as $3
per hundred. From Dutchess county
comes the complaint of drought and
smaller aster shipments than usual.

One of the violet growers who was
in the city Saturday from Rhinebcck,
says the violet stock is generally good
this season. The number of new green-
houses is few, and the prospect is en-
couraging for better prices during the ap-
proaching season.

Never were there so many gladioli as
this year. The quantity arriving daily
shows no diminution and prices do not
vary. Every window in the retail sec-
tions is full of them, and tritomas, gold-
enrod and rudbeckia are much in evi-
dence, and there are lilies to spare.

Carnations are improving fast. An-
other week or two will find them as-
serting their claims for recognition.

a Mr. Ridge, on a nominal bid, and
the business will be continued, it is
said, under Mr. Donohoe's supervision.
He says: "All creditors will get every
dollar coming to them," which is en-
couraging. One wholesaler's claihi is
said to amount to $1,900.

Some idea of the state of the flower
business in Brooklyn may be imagined,
when an advertisement in the leading
Sunday paper announces a sale of roses
at a department store by one of the
minent florists there, at only 50 cents
hundred. This is education with a
vengeance.

At the next meeting of the New York
Florists' Club, Monday, September 14,
Benjamin Hammond, secretary of the
National Rose Society, will address the
members, his subject being ' ' Experiences
in the School Garden Movement." With
convention echoes and the reunion of
the club after its summer vacation,
coupled with Chairman Rickards' delica-
cies, this 4)romises to be an interest-
ing session — and a large attendance is
suggested.

The Averne Floral Carnival closed

over fifty floats and many beautifully
decorated autos, Warcndorfl" carrying
off the honors.

Out at Oyster Bay, where the Presi
dent summers, Dennis Holohan has a
pretty retail store which he calls the
Bosery. His nursery, which he purchased
some five years ago, has risen in value
so that one building lot is now worth
the cost of the entire five acres at that
time. Holohan 's specialty is pot-grown
strawberries.

At the fimoral of the Rov. Donald

lege Point, has been awarded to Hitch-
ings & Co. These will add 10,000 square
feet to his capacity. The same firm
built most of the greenhouses in the

pipe, after twenty-three years' use, Mr.
Sehultheis says, is still good for many
more. Renovating and rebuilding has
been in progress here the whole summer.
A new storage hall, 30x75, is being
erected. About everything the florist
needs is grown here. E. C. Horan han
dies the valley, gardenia and orchid out-

MR. RONEY RESIGNS.

Starts Business for Himself.

C. II. Roney, who for ten years has
been superintendent of the big plant of
the Lakeview Rose Gardens at James-
town, N. Y., has resigned for the pur
pose of going into business for himself
at Kane, Pa. He will at once open a
retail store at 109 West Fraley street
and will later build a range of glass.

Mr. Roney has been in the trade since
he was a boy. He is a native of Eng-
land, having been born in the village of
Bigrigg, near Whitehaven, April 2, 1865.
At the age of 14 years he began his
career as a florist, being an apprentice
for three years on the estate of David
Ainsworth, M. P., under the tutelage of
William Fox, gardener. After going to
the estate of Lord Lonsdale, Lowther
Castle, Whitehaven, and remaining for
some time, he went to James Dickson &
Sons, Newton Nurseries, Chester, Eng-
land, and worked through all the depart-
ments of their business, both inside and
outside the greenhouses.

Coming to the United States in 1885.
Mr. Roney 's first position was with Al-
burger Bros., of Philadelphia. He was
also with Robert Craig & Son for some
time. From Philadelphia he went to
Wilkesbarre, Pa., and was manager of
the Wilkesbarre Floral Co. He stayed
with this firm until real estate became
too valuable for greenhouse purposes in
that part of town, and the place was
torn down. After four years spent with
Benjamin Dorrance, of Dorrance, Pa., he
accepted the ofiice of head gardener to
James Boyd, of Harrisburg, Pa., and
for five years had charge of one of the
finest and best equipped private green-
houses in southeastern Pennsylvania.
While in this position, Mr. Roney did
considerable work in landscaping, laying

out new grounds, drives, golf links and
artificial lakes.

In 1898 Mr. Eoney went to James-
town, N. Y., as manager of the Lake-
view Eose Gardens, where he has con-
tinued until the present time. He de-
veloped the business of this firm until
the houses now cover nearly ten acres,
solidly built in greenhouse glass. He
developed a trade that compasses a radius
of 500 miles from Jamestown, and has
established a reputation which indicates
a first-class success in a business for his
own account.

IOWA FLORISTS' CONVENTION.

Charles N. Page, treasurer and man-
ager of the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines,
was elected president of the Society of
Iowa Florists at the sixth annual meet-
ing of the society, held in the offices of
the Iowa State Horticultural Society in
the state capitol building at Des Moines
August 26. James S. Wilson, of Des
Moines, was elected vice-president; Wes-

OBITUARY.

Mrs. George L. Miller.

Mrs. Emelia Miller, wife of George L.
Miller, of Newark, O., died August 24,
at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs,
Chris Koehl, 398 South Sixth street,
from tuberculosis. She was 32 years of
age, and besides her husband, left a son,
James. She was born and reared in
Columbus, O., but had lived for ten years
in Newark. s

Patrick H. Meehan.

Patrick H. Meehan, who died in Phila-
delphia August 21, and whos6 funeral
occurred August 25, has beenywell known
in floral circles in that citT for many
years. He first came into prominence as
the grower for Myers & Bamtman at
Wyndmoor. Under his fostering care
the firm's Beauties and tea roses at-
tracted favorable commendation from
the most critical buyers. Wyndmoor, the
coming debutante of Myers & Samtman,
was a seedling of Mr. Meehan 's, raised
some ten y6ars ago. Mr. Meehan re-
signed this position to accept charge of
the greenhouses of Dingee & Conard Co.
at West Grove, Pa. Mr. Meehan had
charge later of large establishments in
Washington, in Eichmond and in Nash-
ville. Two years ago he returned to
Philadelphia and took the position of
foreman for Charles E. Meehan, in Ger-
mantown. This position he filled until
his death. Mr. Meehan was 50 years of
age. He was a true florist and loved his
business dearly. He will be mourned by
many friends.

Mrs, La Fever.

Mrs. Mary La Fever, who for some
years had been in the florists' business
at Eaton Eapids, Mich., died August 31.
The business will be continued by
La Fever & Minnie, in connection with
their furniture store.

THE PITTSBURG QUARTETTE.

On this page appears the portrait of
W. Q. Potter, who completes the quar-
tette of young men who have this week
opened for business under the name of
the McCallum 'Co., at Pittsburg. The
president, secretary and treasurer's por-
traits appeared in the last issue. Mr.
Potter will have charge of the supply
department in the new business.

GROWING FOR MARKET.

In going about, I meet most of the
largest market growers of plants, says a
writer in the Horticultural Advertiser
(England), and the question that most
of them put is: "What is there in the
way of new things that are likely to be
worth taking up?" I must say, go back
to the old things, and do them well. We
get new things which are wanted for
one or two seasons, and many growers
neglect old favorites for them. The
most striking instance I have noted this
season has been in regard to the zonal
pelargonium, Paul Crampel. It is one
which will always sell as a bedding
variety, and will hold its own with Henry
Jacoby, Vesuvius and others; but it
will not pay to overstock it. New grow-
ers go in for new things, and having no
previous connection with buyers, have to
sell cheaply. I remember that when I
first grew carnations, and grew them
well, it was difficult to find buyers. And
only recently a grower gave me an ac-
count of his first experience with ram-
bler roses. He had a large stock of

good plants, and he could not sell them,
except a few buyers took samples. Later,
when he had a much smaller stock, he
had more orders than he could execute.
It was the same with carnations, and I
could give other instances. The grower

Charles N. Page.

who succeeds is' he who starts a thing,
keeps to it, and does it well.

I know that there are many who think
that if they sell the best, what are left
will do for stock, but in most instances
this is not the case. Stock should be
selected first, and what is not fit for sale
should be thrown away. From my own
experience I must say that what is not
good enough to sell is rarely worth keep-
ing over for stock.

In the market this season I have found
that all well grown old or popular
plants have cleared out better than novel-
ties, but I do not mean to imply that
new things should not be taken up. The
thing is to grow them well, and if they
prove a failure one year, if it is a good
thing keep on until a trade is made for
it. I could name several of the most
popular plants of the present time, which
would never have been recognized if it
had not been for growers who, after
losing over a first or second venture,
have kept on with them.

This season I have seen few novelties
which would be likely to be of any
value to the ordinary market grower.
In the herbaceous pyrethrums we have
already so many good varieties that it
is dangerous to recommend new sorts,
but the Langport Crimson, which gained
an award of merit at the last E. H. S.
meeting, was certainly a promising va-
riety and should be worth a trial.

Another plant which may prove of
value is Deutzia Wilsoni, but I may say
that I have been much disappointed with
most of the hybrid deutzias from a mar-
ket point of view. The old Deutzia
gracilis, when grown as we used to do
it thirty years ago, wants a lot of
beating.

The new stock named the Magenta
Strain is a good thing, but I should
call it a good crimson and it should be
good for market, but these strong grow-
ing sorts take more trouble in growing,
and in the long run the larger quantities
of the easier grown sorts may be most
profitable.

Fred Burki, of Pittsburg, has been se-
lected as one of the Carnation Society's
judges for the national flower show, in
place of W. N. Rudd, who is to manage
the show, but who is one of the soci-
ety's regularly elected board of awards.

The paper that carries the most ad-
vertising is the one the buyers subscribe
for and use. • This is particularly true
in a trade like our own, where so large
a volume of business is done on mail or
telegraph orders — the buyer naturally
consults the publication that affords him
the widest choice of oflFers.

There is an exceptionally good sale
for field-grown carnation plants this sea-
son. Don 't let your surplus go to waste,
if such plants as you would care to bench
in your own greenhouses. Tell the trade
what you have to offer through a classi-
fied advertisement in the Review; you
will get cash with the order.

A CORRESPONDENT at Milford, Del.,
says that ' * when the plants of the new
Chipman 's seedling strawberry are of-
fered for sale on the open market it will
pay the plantsmen to get a stock. It
is a perfect, strong-growing berry, will
succeed where others fail, gives ah enor-
mous crop and stands shipping well.
One grower got over $500 per acre here,
and don 't you think that pays about
as well as some of the asters that glut
the market?"

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Error in Secretary's Report.

It appears that the statement in the
secretary 's report at Niagara Falls, that
Albert Dirwauger was the only member
of the society in Maine, is an error, and
that William Miller, of Bar Harbor, is
also a member, and through a printer's
error his name ill the printed annual re-
port was included among the members
from Kentucky. W. N. Rudd, Sec'y.

August 2(i, i90.S.

When taking photographs with a view
to publication in the Review, don't for-
get that the background is about the
most important feature. Have it plain.

A WRITER in the Horticultural Trade
Journal (English) says that "Adolph
Jaenicke, a German grower who has been
with J. Lewis Childs, of New York, for
many years, has succeeded in improving
Gerbera Jamesoni out of recognition.
We have seen many lovely hybrids in
this country, but Jaenicke has gone for
size only. His new G. Jamesoni gigantea
gives flowers four and one-half to five
inches in diameter on stems three feet
high. The color is scarlet, and from
what I know of Jaenicke his latest nov-
elty should prove a real money maker
for home growers."

NIBBLERS.

Several months ago I saw an adver-
tisement in the Review of a firm deal-
ing in watering cans, with an engraving
showing the different kinds and shapes
of roses and spouts used in their manu-
facture. Will you kindly give me the
name and address of the firm referred to?

If these ' ' nibblers ' ' at advertising
would read what the governor of North
Carolina said to the governor of South
Carolina — you would not be bothered
with inquiries like the present and they
would get a good many orders they now
miss. I. A. Barnes.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.

When the Winter-flowering Carnation
Society held its exhibition in London,
England, April 1, the principal features
were the American varieties and inter-
national cooperation between the special
societies devoted to the flower was the
subject of considerable discussion at the
annual dinner which followed the Eng-
lish society's meeting. The English-
men, however, were of the opinion that,
as the American society is so much the
older, the initial steps should come from
the western side of the Atlantic.

At the special meeting of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society, held at Niagara
Falls, August 20, the subject; of inter-
national cooperation came up, and it was
the consensus of opinion that such rela-
tionship should be brought about. The
secretary's ininutes show that it was
"suggested" that the society offer a
silver cup of the value of $25, to be
awarded at the next exhibition of the
British society. This is a step in the
right direction, if only a short one, for
it apparently leaves the matter up to
the board of directors of the A. C. S.,
who it is to be hoped will consider the
subject of sufficient importance to re-
quire their prompt action.

Montgomery, Ala. — W. P. Patterson,
proprietor of the Rosemont Gardens, has
secured a lease of the store now known
as the Oak Hall saloon, and after .Jan-
uary 1 of next year will run it as a
flower store, under the name of The
Rosary. Adjoining the store he will
build a greenhouse, 30x40 feet.

Franklin, Mass. — The Continental
Nurseries, of which M. .1. Van Leeuwen
is proprietor, has had some large con-
tracts in Attleboro, Southbridge and
other places, including the designs and
shrubbery in the Congregational church
park in Milford. The grounds at the
nurseries themselves are so artistic as
to attract many visitors.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

August went out with several of the
hottest days of the month. Indeed, it
is thirty-five years since the temperature
has been as high on August 31 as it
was Monday, 92 degrees. The result has
not been in favor of the flower mar-
ket. The heat caused all roses to be
soft and a large part of the cut at the
beginning of the present week was too
open to suffice for shipping trade. A
large increase in the aster crop also
was at the expense of quality, and this
week opened with large supplies of in-
ferior stock and so little good stock that
a fair shipping demand was not easily
satisfied. Good asters have sold at ex-
cellent prices.

There are increased receipts of Beau-
ties and the quality is excellent for
the season. The buyers appreciate that
they are getting good value for their
money and there is a good demand for
Beauties, one house having an order for

500, August 31. Killarney continues in
good supply and there are increased
receipts of other sorts. Quality was
steadily improving until the hot days
struck the stock and it only requires a
return to cool weather to again make the
cut satisfactory to all concerned.

This has been an exceptional year for
asters, '*and the present is the nearest ap-
proach to the annual glut. There are
now far too many poor asters, but not
enough really good ones, so that prices
range all the way from $6 per hundred
down to where the waste-barrel comes
into play. The receipts of carnations
are increasing, but are not yet large
enough to affect the sale for good asters.

Large quantities of gladioli are re-
ceived for which no return can be made.
The sale for gladioli is limited to a
few dozens a day to the stores. The
street-corner stands do not handle glads
in quantity, as they do most other flow-
ers when they are cheap enough. The
result is that whenever the flowers are
received in any considerable quantity
they accumulate until they no long'er are

presentable, and are dumped. Good
money is to be made through growing
special fancy glads, but the * common
stuff is not worth shipping here.

Yellow mums are to be had on advance
orders. They bring up to $4 per dozen.

There is a fair sale for lilies and val-
ley. A few dahlias are arriving, but
are slow sale. There is not much in-
crease in the call for greens, but there
is inquiry for a,sparagus and smilax for
the autumn openings.

Labor Day, Monday, September 7,
there will be but one general delivery
of mail and those sending orders for
shipment that day must wire or use
special delivery, which will be made up
to six o'clock.

Business Chancfes.

September 1 brought two changes in
the wholesale market, Joseph Foerster
having sold his commission business at
60 Wabash avenue to D. E. Freres, who
has been with J. J. Kruchten. Mr.
Freres will have with him his brother,
Mike, recently a mail-carrier, but for-

flower business. D. E. Freres recently
married a daughter of John Muno and
it is understood that the several members
of the Muno family who are growing

At the same time came the announce-
ment that John J. Kruchten had taken

business as Kruchten & Co. The new
partners are John Pool and Alfred Lor-
enzen, Mr. Pool being a brother-in-law

of becoming one in the shortest possible
space of time. -^

The August Business.

The general report is that August busi-
ness was fully as good as last year,
or even a little better. August was
better than July, and it is apparent that
the 'regular increase in summer business
is more than counterbalancing any fall-
ing off due to slack conditions in other
lines. The bank clearings for the month
show general business in Chicago to be
a little more than eight per cent below
August of last year. Our trade is
therefore to be congratulated. Several
houses report an excellent increase, both
as compared with last year and com-
pared with July. Those who catered to
the summer demand with supplies of
good stock were repaid for their fore-
thought.

Weather in August.

August was a hot month, even though
there was a week of fine, cool weather,
for the mean temperature was 73 de-
grees, 2 degrees above normal. The rain-
fall was 6.35 inches, more than twice
the normal, but it practically all fell on
three days, August 11, 12 and 15, there
being only one other day when any rain

fell worth having for stock in the field.
There were seventeen clear days, eleven
partly cloudy and only three cloudy.

Wheaton Country Fair.

The Wheaton Country fair last week
was a fine success. Big crowds were
there, and E. T. Wanzer's department of
floriculture was a center of interest. The
cut flower exhibits were by Poehlmann
Bros. Co., Bassett & Washburn and Mr.
Wanzer. The premiums awarded for
plants and cut flowers were published
on page 18 of last week's Review. De-
signs were judged August 27. On bou-
quet the premium was divided between
Mr. Wanzer and A. T. Peterson, but Mr.
Peterson was first for spray of roses
and of carnations, and for bride's bou-
quet. Mr. Wanzer was first for set piece.
Many of the trade attended.

Mr. Wanzer is highly pleased with the
success of the first efforts made to ex-
ploit the floricultural department of the
fair and will push it still farther to the
front next year. He says Bassett &
Washburn's exhibit of the vases of lilies
in three varieties, that won a blue rib-
bon, was worthy of special n^ention.

Judge Emil Buettner says the cut
flower display was an excellent one for
August.

Railroad Gardeoers.

The American Association of Railroad
Gardeners, of which George B. Moulder,
of the Illinois Central, Chicago, is sec-
retary, will hold its annual meeting at
Niagara Falls, September 9. The cen-
tral and western gardeners have planned
to centralize in Chicago and go special
on the morning of September 7, via Mich-
igan Central, and will make numerous
stops on that day and the next to in-
spect the station grounds, greenhouses,

At Peter Eeinberg's it is stated that
the August business was some twenty
per cent ahead of August of last year,
certainly a gratifying increase, although
it would mean more if it could be said
of a winter month's business.

C. L. Washburn is the active spirit in
the committee on trees and parkways
of the Village League of Hinsdale. It
is their purpose to show the citizens of
that suburb how good landscape effects
are obtained, and Friday evening, Sep-
tember 4, the committee will have Jens
.tensen, of the West park, and Professor
Roth, of Ann Arbor, for stereopticon
lectures at the Hinsdale Club. Basaett
& Washburn are now cutting large crops

of roses, but have not yet cirt a car-
nation.

Vaughan & Sperry are receiving large
quantities of asters, some of them spe-
cially good, from both local and Michi-
gan growers. And Fred Sperry spent
a few days of the last week in Michigan.

Herman Shau, of Morgan Park, is now
selling his stock at the Flower Growers'
market, his daughter being his repre-
sentative.

During the scarcity of asters at the
middle of August Kennicott Bros. Co.
wrote one of its former consignors, and
the consignor, not having anything
to ship, passed the letter to a friend.
Word finally reached Lowell, Mass., that
asters were good property in Chicago,
and a shipment from there reached Ken-
nicott's August 31. The grower said to
wire him if more were wanted, but he

got no wire, for the world do move in
Chicago and asters had become a glut.

Fred Hunt has rented the establish-
ment of Fred Ahrensfeldt, at Park Ridge,

George Harrer is again actively en-
gaged in the flower business, for he is
operating his greenhouses vacated by
Joseph P. Brooks, when the latter built
his own plant.

W. C. Johnson is a new traveler who
went on the road this week for E. H.
Hunt. Clifford Pruner also started out
September 1, the day W. E. Lynch and
family returned from their trip to the
family home in Massachusetts, Miss
Harper also is at home from her vaca-
tion.

The A. L. Randall Co. says the Au-
gust business was not only much better
than the July business, but that it was
better than any August yet, and the
summer as a whole has been much bet-
ter than any previous summer.

The K. P. Wintferson Co. received its
first shipment of Chinese sacred lilies
August 31.

J. F. Klimmer, at Oak Park, is cutting
moderate quantities of the Golden Glow
chrysanthemum, which he sends to Ran-
dall 's.

George Asmus says that the Schiller
business will move into its new place
on West Madison street about Septem-
ber 15, although the new plant will
not be completely finished at that date.

The Poehlmann families, the Winter-
sons, and the Asmus family having re-
turned last week, all the conventionites
are present or accounted for, except

The base of the wreath was of asters
and lilies.

The Market

There has been a slow market the last
week. Cold, unseasonable weather for
August did not improve business. Asters
are still the leading flower and are arriv-
ing in immense quantities. Prices vary
from 25 cents to $1.50 per hundred, few

reaching the highest figure. Gladioli are
also abundant and hard to clear at $3 to
$4 per hundred. Carnations are more
plentiful, but short-stemmed as yet, com-
paring unfavorably with good asters.
There is a veritable deluge of roses,
mostly of inferior quality, which sell low.
Easter lilies remain about the same, S-
cents per flower being the average price.
Quite a few sweet peas are again coming

Association took place at Park Street
market August 29. J. F. Carroll, as
usual, oflSciated as auctioneer and there
was a large attendance of growers, bid-
ding Being unusually spirited.
" First choice fell to Waban Conserva-
tories for $110; John J. Fee gave $85
Budlong & Son, $80; Peirce Bros., $80
William Nicholson, Mann Bros, and An
drew Christensen, $75 each ; Peirce Bros.,

a second stand at $72.50; E. Sutermeis-
ter, $72.50; S. J. Goddard, Thomas Peg-
ler and Montrose Greenhouses, $67.50
each; W. C. Ward, $65, and W. H. El-
liott, Edgar & Co., W. C. Stickel, J. F.
Calder, F. J. Dolansky and several others
from $62.50 to $65 each. A total of
ninety-five stalls were sold for a gross
premium of about $4,500, making it the
most satisfactory auction the market has
yet held. The premiums are in addition
to the regular rentals, which are $25 per
stall.

The members of the Boston Coopera-
tive Flower Market held their annual
auction sale of stalls August 29 at Music
Hall market. There was, as usual, a
large and animated attendance of buyers.

Bidding was brisk and about 100 stalls
were disposed of, the sale being' consid-
ered an eminently satisfactory one by
the management.

Various Notes.

Peirce Bros, handled some nice Golden
Glow chrysanthemums last week. S. J.
Goddard had the distinction of bringing
in the first mums of the season, the va-
riety also being Golden Glow.

Minimum temperatures of 38 to 40 de-
grees were recorded in and around Bos-
ton August 27, but we have heard of no
damage being done by the cold as yet.

ters seen in the Boston market.

PHILADELPHIA,

The Risinfi; Eattern Market.

The advent of September is marked by
an improvement in the cut flower mar-
ket; nothing wonderful, scarcely percept-
ible at times, but nevertheless an unmis-
takable improvement gladly welcomed as
the forerunner of fall business.

There is an increase in the number of
roses coming into the market, the listed
varieties being strengthened by the ad-
dition of Mrs. Jardine and My Mary-
land, ~tjie first shipments of these roses
arriving during the last days of August.
There has been about enrfiigh demand to
absorb most of the better grades of all
the roses at moderate prices. Beauties
continue in demand. The fancy grades
of Kaiserin are fine indeed.

There is no change in the conditions
governing the carnation market. The
supply continues light, and chiefly short-
stemmed flowers of a half dozen stand-
ard varieties. Ethel Crocker, field-
grown, stands out preeminently. Next to
these eome some choice white. The as-
ters have been reinforced by the arrival
of some exceptionally nice Crego. The
choicer flowers of Semple's and other
varieties are more numerous than a week
ago. Cheap white asters for design work
were scarcer at the close of last week
than the fancies. There is little America
gladiolus coming into the market. The
light colors, when clear and distinct, are
decidedly preferred to the dark, and
bring more money. Dahlias are coming
in greater force. While several of the
largest growers will not cut before next
week, many are sending in shipments of
excellent stock that is in moderate de-
mand. Red seems most popular so far.

Valley continues of excellent quality.
The demand, while not what it should
be, has improved somewhat. Orchids are

The Planting of My Maryland.

It was noised around at the rose show
held in Chicago last March that the
shrewdest eastern rose growers thought
well of My Maryland, the pink debutante
rose then being introduced by John
Cook, of Baltimore. It was buzzed about
that this and that rose grower would
plant so many thousands of My Mary-
land, with a calm disregard of the fact
that a new rose cannot be had without

the expenditure of many shekels. These
thousands of new roses meant to some
of us what would be a very large sum of
money indeed. Of course there could be
' only two explanations, one that the pur-
chaser was stark, staring mad, an ex-
planation that did not explain when you-
saw business sagacity that had weath-
ered many storms; the other explanation,
probably the true one, that these same
rose growers felt so sure My Maryland
would prove a money maker that the
more they had of it, and the sooner, the
better.

Careful inquiry has revealed the fact
that the Philadelphia market will be sup-
plied with this new variety by four (pos-
sibly more) of our best rose growers:
Stephen Mortensen, of Southampton;
William Munro, of Garrettford; Myers
& Samtman, of Wyndmoor, and Edward
Towill, of Roslyn. Reports from as many
of these places as have been heard from
are unanimous to the effect that My
Maryland is a grower 's rose ; that is, it
is a clean, healthy, vigorous grower, pro-
ducing plenty of flowering wood of good
quality. Whether it will prove a good
selling rose remains to be seen.

A Seed Warehouse.

The warehouse of the Henry A. Dreer
corporation, built in 1905, is a modern
six-story brick structure, entirely in
keeping with the substantial old Phila-
delphia homes that face Washington
square. It is everything that a seed-
house should be — clean, light, airy and
strongly built. Ascending to the sixth
floor, we found that the order and sys-
tem, so apparent in the Chestnut street
seedhouse, were evident everywhere in
the arrangement of the smallest detail.

The lighter grass seeds, those requir-
ing dryness and air, were arranged on
the top floor. Certain varieties in large
sacks were laid on their sides, one above
another, with avenues of air space be-
tween. Where necessary, a framework of
light stripping was run up to the ceiling
to keep them in position. On a lower
floor the so-called oil seeds, in stocking-

ette bags, were stored. Each seed, bulb,
fertilizer, implement, in fact everything
used in a large seed warehouse, had its
place carefully chosen with a view to its
wants. The potatoes were in the sub-
cellar, a large potato fork handy, the to-
bacco stems near-by. The wood ashes,
if I recall correctly, were on the floor
above, and so on through an almost end-
less list.

I do not know whether the average flo-
rist has any idea of the knowledge and
thought required to carry on a seed busi-
ness successfully. Take, for instance,
Kentucky blue grass. It is necessary to
purchase this in quantity when harvested
in the fall. A carload lot is secured.
This is carefully stored in the most im-
proved modern way, l^^t suppose that the
moths or some other seed destroyer should
get into the Kentucky blue grass! A
large part of the^seed might easily be
ruined, involving disappointment and

loss. To prevent this, each bag can be
placed in a chamber hermetically sealed,
with a refrigerator door attached. In
this chamber a saucer of bisulphide of
carbon is placed; the fumes will pene-
trate the bags of seed, destroying every
vestige of insect life and leaving the
seed uninjured. I understood Mr. Thilow
to say that twenty-four hours were al-
lowed for each fumigation; at the end
of that time the fumes have entirely
evaporated.

Great caution is observed to prevent
fire. The elevator is placed in a brick
shaft with fireproof doors. Hhould fire
occur, however, the system applied in
keeping the books credits and debits the
warehouse with each article brought in
or removed, thus enabling the bookkeeper
in their seed store, two squares away,
to tell exactly what stock is on hand at
any given moment. An air-shaft running
from sub-cellar to roof is connected with
each floor, insuring excellent ventilation.
Heat is generated in the cellar and can
be introduced into the first and second
floors; the seeds in the upper floors do ,
not require warmth. The impression
created by a tour of this immense ware-
house is that the seedsman 's industry has
advanced far more rapidly than most of
us are aware.

The Market

Some of our leading florists say that
the month of August was not so bad as
has generally been reported. It is true
that all the business done was for funer-
als, but then there was plenty of it. We
are all looking forward to good business,
starting with the first part of September,
as our society folks will be coming home
from their summer trips and this should
at once boom the business for us ad.
Funeral work was again one of the
main reasons that nearly all of us were
quite busy last week. At the wholesale
houses stock of all kinds is beginning to
look better each week. There is plenty
of everything, but nothing really fancy.
Roses and carnations are obtainable.
Just now, with cooler weather, we can
look for an improvement in the next two
weeks.

Tuberose and gladiolus spikes are most
plentiful at present; so, also, are asters.
All the light colors sell well, with plen-
ty of the darker shades going to waste.
Lilium auratum and longiflorum sell well,
also valley. Smilax is still scarce. As-

V^etable Forcing.

AMONG MARKET GARDENERS.

Little Britain, N. Y., is the garden
spot of Orange county and abounds with
market gardens, the bulk of the product
finding its way to the New York mar-
kets. Owing to the continued drought,
some kinds of veget3,ble8 have yielded
short crops.

Stephen Murphy, one of the largest
gardeners in this section, tells me it is
Qot unusual for his soil to produce 1,200
bushels of onions to the acre, the variety
being Yellow Globe Danvers. Chantenay
is the favorite carrot, both for size and
yield. Earliana is the best tomato for
first crops. A patch yielded 1,500 bas-
kets, which sold at $1.10 per basket,
fruit weighing one and one-quarter
pounds apiece not being unusual. In-
tensive culture is carried out and the re-
sults obtained are highly satisfactory.
The culture of tobacco is being taken up
here. A very early variety introduced
from Bussia will be given a good trial.
It is strongly recommended, owing to its
fineness of texture and early ripening

FORONG TOMATOES.

fA paper by Prof. W. S. Blair, of Macdonalrt
College, Quebec, read before the Canadian Hor-
ticultural Association, In convention at Niagara
Falls, Ont., August 19 and 20, 1908.]

It is doubtful whether tomato forcing
as a distinct business can be profitably
conducted in Canada. I think, however,
that tomatoes can often be profitably
worked in as a spring crop after some
of the commonly grown greenhouse crops
are past their best. It was with this
thought in mind that work with tomatoes
under gl^ss was taken up at the Mac-
donald College.

I might state at the outset that our
experience at the present time is too lim-
ited to state exactly how much gain
there is in this, and to what extent it
can be carried on with profit to follow
chrysanthemums, violets, carnations, let-
tuce or radish, which, we think, are the
principal crops with which such a prac-
tice can be followed to advantage. When
your secretary asked me to prepare this
paper I was inclined to say "No," for
the reason that more experience is neces-
sary to speak definitely on this point,
especially as the latter part of the violet
and carnation crop has to be sacrificed
in order to give the tomato plants an
«arly start.

Necessary Cart md Attention.

On the other hand, the attention and
care necessary to make this business a
success can be as well brought out in
this address as in one where a greater

at hand. For, after all, whether this
business is a profitable one or not de-
pends largely upon the ability of the
man and the time and care he puts into
the business, and his facilities for bring-
ing along the plants to the time when
they are required for setting into the
benches. One thing is sure, they can-
not be grown profitably without atten-
tion, and if the idea is to run this crop
in as one to receive attention only after
everything else is done, it will not prove
a profitable business.

For much of the data presented in this
paper I am indebted to my former as-
sistant. Prof. V. E. Gardner, now hor-
ticulturist of the Maine State College,
and especially to our eflScient greenhouse
manager, A. H. Walker.

Difficulties of Winter Forcing.

It is possibly not necessary for me to
state that the winter forcing of tomatoes
is much more difficult than the spring
forcing. The tomato loves light and
heat, and to ripen its fruit during the
dark days of midwinter, when sunlight
is not only scarce but not strong enough
to clear the glass of its heavy coating
of frost, is no easy proposition. For this
reason it is doubtful to what extent T^in-
ter forcing can be carried on. This
point we aim to work out, and experi-
ments to that end are now in progress.
Our first planting has just been made
into permanent beds, hoping to have our
fruit well formed by December, depend-
ing largely upon heat alone for ripening.
This phase of the question, however, is
not the purpose of this paper, and there-
fore the spring forcing problem and how
it can be worked to follow other crops
is what I wish especially to deal with.

Our houses are of the King construc-
tion, twenty-one and one-half feet in
span and seven feet to the gutter. The
plants should have four and one-half to
five feet of head room at least; there-
fore the crop cannot be worked into
some low houses profitably. Our houses
run east and west. We have a four-
span house. These houses are divided by
a glass partition and a walk runs cross-
wise of the house, with glass partitions

at each side. We have, ip all, four
38-foot and four 58-foot houses, each
under control. Briefly, our aim is to de-
velop crops on a commercial scale in
these houses and at the same time work
out problems similar to the one under
discussion.

The soil used for tomatoes was made
up of a medium light loam sod, piled in
the summer, into which one-quarter its
bulk of stable manure was put, and the
whole cut down and mixed before put-
ting into the benches. The soil in the
benches was six inches deep.

NAMES OF PLANTS.

Kindly let nie know the names of the
enclosed coleus, also the name of the
flowers which I enclose, and where I can
buy them, and what colors they come in.

A. W.

I am unable to give the names of the
coleus. Those sent are probably seed-
lings. These show such a wide variation
in the foliage that it is almost impossi-
ble to determine them. No. 3 has hand-
some foliage and makes an excellent pot
plant, but is not so good for bedding
purposes.

The flowers are those of Hibiscus Syri-
acus, rose of Sharon. There are both
double and single-flowering varieties. Of
this attractive, late flowering shrub, a
few of the best are: Ardens, bluish pur-
ple; elegantissimus, white, shaded rose;
Joan of Arc, double white; totus albus,
single white; Boule de Feu, double red;
carneo-plenus, double flesh; bicolor, dou-
ble white, red marks; violaceus, double
purple; variegatus, variegated foliage,
flowers lavender with a purple blotch at
base of petals. These shrubs are obtain-
able from almost any of the firms ad-
vertising in the nursery department of
the Eeview. C. W.

ditions interfering. The yield is gen-
erally understood to be good, but the
acreage was short.

RiCHAEDiA Mrs. Roosevelt, a variety
of American origin, introduced to the
trade in 1905, was given a first-class cer-
tificate at the recent meeting of the
Dutch Bulb Growers' Society at Haar-
lem, Holland.

The sweet corn in Nebraska has been
making good progress the last few weeks
and, with no early frost, the crop is
likely to be much better than was at
first thought, but the prospect for vine
seeds is not improved.

Work on the 1909 catalogues is well
along in many houses, but the question
of prices still remains to be considered.
From present indications there will be
few reductions and many advances as
compared with last year.

Hugh Low & Co., the English seeds-
men, say that this year the crop of
cyclamen seed is a fine one, and that
they appreciate a good year after last
season's dull, sunless weather. Follow-
ing on the demand for Low's Salmon
King, they have nearly as much seed of
this variety harvested as of all the other
varieties put together, except their
Giant White.

When France placed an embargo on
the importation of American nursery
products, bulbs were included. Now an
influentially signed petition against the
interdiction on bulbs has been lodged
with the French government. The French
nurserymen point out that their chief
imports from the U. S. A. are liliums
and tuberoses, neither of which could act
as a vehicle for the importation of the
San Jose scale; their purchases of
shrubs, etc., being quite insignificant.
It is said the only effect of the recent
law has been that what American bulbs
are urgently required are imported via
England and Germany at an extra cost
of thirty to forty per cent.

SEED CROPS IN HOLLAND.

Although last winter was not exceed-
ingly severe in Holland, the late frosts
of last spring destroyed large quanti-
ties of all root crops. Cabbages, tur-
nips, and parsley suffered. During the
latter part of last spring and the early
part of the summer we had favorable
weather, but this was followed by persis-
tent drought with an east wind, and
many plants of the brassica type did not
develop well and suffered from insects
in the pods, together with other vermin.

Cauliflowers were looking well at the
middle of August, although they showed
the effects of the dry weather and winds.

Cabbages, Brussels sprouts and borecole
promise only a medium crop and in some
places they look even bad, especially on
account of the plants having started to
grow again after having produced a
great many pods. This is due to the
fact that rains came too late and it is,
of course, highly detrimental to the un-
developed seeds in the pods.

Turnips and swedes suffered largely
last spring, and the remainder do not

look well because of \vi»rnis and bad
weather. Of sugar beet we expect a
good crop, but there are few plantations.
Of carrots there is not a very promising
staiid. Parsnips are good, with the usual
acreage. The new crop of cornsalad
will be relatively small. The plantations
of summer radish are not important,
but they are partly looking well, though
in some instances they promise less than
a medium crop. Onions are a small
acreage and the crop variable. Only a
small area of parslej was planted, but
this looks promising. " The plantations
of spiqach are of usual importance and
they are looking rather well, but part
of them were lost last spring. Of dwarf
and runner beans the gmeral standing
is under middling, but thj* plantations
are rather important.

• Owing to favorable weather the fields
of flower seeds are looking well, with the
exception of a few perennial articles
which suffered more or less from frost,
such as Campanula medium and Myoso-
tis dissitiflora. Little candytuft was
sown ; crop middling. Centaurea is good,
and convolvulus extra good. Dianthus,
eschscholtzia, mimulus, petunia, and ver-
bena are all extra good. Ten weeks'
stocks arc magnificent. Phlox are look-
ink well but there will not be many
seeds. Nasturtiums are much less in
area than usual, but look good. Pansies
are not largely planted. They look all
right, but, if the drought continues, will
not prodnce many seeds. Mignonette in

oue-balf of the estimated yield. The
cause is due to disease spreading out
through the continuous rainy weather we
had from November right down to the
latter part of the month of April. It
was curious to notice at one of my fields,
sown with the same kind of bulbs,
manured, watered and cultivated in* the
same way, that disease made great havoc
in a certain part of the middle of the
field, and the sides were untouched, some
of the stalks bearing a head of seeds
measuring twenty inches in diameter.
Again, at the Orotava district there was
a field yielding the most abnormal quan-
tity of seeds. To eveiy hundredweight of
onions it yielded oyer a hundredweight
of good seeds, and any one understanding
this cultivation will imagine what the
size of the heads or tops must have
been. This was about one acre of land
planted by my friends and competitors,
Messrs. Wildpret Bros., of Orotava.

American buyers have had their or-
ders very much cut down by exporters
on this side, and the demand for White
Bermuda and White Crystal Wax has
been considerable from your side. There
are still a few parcels on offer by small
farmers, but the f majority of native
farmers are very\ routinary in their
methods and lackinAscientific knowledge
of agriculture. Th^e have, through
sheer ignorance, raised hybrid onions
year after, year, thus tampering with the
true stock. My aim is to purify as much
as possible this cultivation, but this end
can only bo attained by cultivating the
onions under an intelligent supervision.
Attention nuist be paid to keeping up
the classical, flattish-round, perfect
shape of the Bermuda onion. No bulbe
must be planted that are not absolutely
healthy, true to stock and shape.

Seedsmen and dealers in the United
States Tiill considerably help in the work
of perfecting the cultivaiion of Ber-
muda onion seeds if they order a mini-
]nuni quantity of their likely require-
ments one year ahead. That is to say,
that such minimum quantity orders
should be in the hands of Teneriffe ex-
porters not later than in the month of
August of every year.

Kindly call the attention of your read-
ers to the fact that the climate and soil
of Teneriffe are privileged for raising
under the most favorable conditions
nearly all kinds of foreign flowers,
seeds, ])lants and bulbs imported in the
United States and especially in the
famous valley of Orotava and at La-
guna. T shall be pleased to give to in-
terested parties any information re-
quired. Liliuni Harrisii thrives here bet-
ter than at the Azores or in Bermuda,
hut never a serious attempt has been
luado to export the bulbs.

the i>laco of the familiar dykes in Hol-
land.

Havinjj found this location, we began
experiments with about four acres of
bulbs in 1903, and have gradually in-
•creased the plantations till at the present
time we have fifty acres planted with
narcissi, tulips, early flowering gladioli
and irises, besides our experimental
patches.

Peculiarities of Demand.

As you can well understand, all this
has not been done without a great deal
of money spent, and lots of disappoint-
ments. In the first place, we have found
that though the greater part of the now
large family of narcissi can be grown
successfully here, there are a few varie-
ties that have not as yet answered to our
treatment, notably the Telamonius ple-
nus, or double daffodil, which will come
green with us in spite of everything we
can do to stop it. We are therefore
obliged to sell only imported roots of
this variety. I may add that the Vir-
ginia Experimental Station, at Blacks-
Tiurgh, is taking the matter up for us in
the hope of finding a remedy.

When starting our experiments we im-
ported stocks of the varieties most liked

proved that the English and American
tastes differ. Take, for instance, Poeticus

so much sought after for forcing pur-
poses as this one, while here it is prac-
tically not used at all. I cannot account

We also tried Barri conspicuus, a

ommend it for forcing, it is a hard one
to beat for outdoor planting, as the flow-
ers are borne on long stems, and it is
one of the easiest bulbs to grow that I
know of.

The Labor Question.

Another great difficulty we have had
to overcome was the labor question. This
has been met in large measure by sub-
stituting mules for hand labor; in other
words, we make our mules do for us what
is done by the hand labor in England.
This has become possible owing to the
land being much cheaper here. We are
therefore in a position to allow room
between our beds of bulbs to work cul-
tivators, etc. In England we study the
land ; here we study labor.

As you all know, the rough work down
south is done by colored labor, and the
great difficulty we first experienced in
getting them to understand the necessity
of keeping all the different varieties sep-
arate was nearly enough to make us give
the whole thing up as a bad job. The
whole lot of narcissi seemed to them
nothing more than a heap of onions. I
am pleased to say that to a great extent
this difficulty has been overcome, and I
now have in my employ men who have
been with me for four years, and who
call now piurie tHe majority of the bulbs,
as they bloom.

Effect on the Bulb Trade.

I stated at the beginning of my paper
that.^the effects of our work in Vii-ginia
would shortly be very far-reaching, for
soon we will be ready to put some of
the leading varieties, which have, proved
so successful with us, on the market in
quantities. What we have to do now is
to overcome.the prejudice against Amer-
ican-grown bulbs, which I am sorry to
say still exists. To overcome this we
have sent otit, and are still sending out,
samples of the Virginian-grown bulbs
for testing against imported bulbs of
the same variety. In this we have been
most successful, some of the leading
growers having stated that after giving
them a fair and impartial trial they were
in every way equal to English or Dutch
bulbs. One way in which we claim su-
periority of American over imported
bulbs is the earlincss of flowering. Amer-
ican bulbs planted under the same con-
ditions as imported bulbs will flower
from five to ten days earlier. This is no
doubt due to their early ripening in the
spring, which alone is worth a lot of
money to the bulb forcer, as it means
less time of firing and attention.

Up to the present I have dealt with
narcissi, but I should like to call atten-
tion for a few moments to the tulips.
We have a large acreage of these, in
both the late flowering and Darwin vari-

etios. Such varieties as Gesneriana, Pi-
cotee, Bouton D'Or, in the late varieties,
and all the Darwins do well with us.

Spanish iris is a flo'wer that is really
neglected in this country. They are so
easy of culture, and the flowers them-
selves give such a range of colors that I
am surprised that they are not grown by
every florist. If picked in bud there is
no flower that will travel better.

As some of you may know, we are try-
ing specially to introduce the early flow-
ering' gladioli. These, too, should be
much better known than they are, for
though they do not grow anything like
as large as the late flowering varieties,
they certainly come at a time when flow-

ers are needed most, and if handed prop-
erly will force well.

Cut Blooms.

Before leaving this subject I .should
like to say a few words about the ship-
ments of cut blooms. You all know what
a large quantity are put on the market
in the spring. The shipments last sea-
son, in the week before Easter, averaged
over one ton a day. Some seem to think
that there is a danger of the cut flower
trade being overdone, but I see no reason
to fear this. I remember four yearp ago,
when we were sending comparatively
few flowers to the markets, we were con-
"'tantly receiving wires from the sales-

mjen: "Market glutted; don't send;"
wfiile this season we had more inquiries
thjan ever for cut blooms. I have always
contended that we are only feeling the
mjarket and that once we can get all
classes of people interested in buying
flowers, there will be no limit to the de-
m)and. "What is wanted is a flower that
can be grown at such a price that it will
be within the reach of everybody.

I do not want for one minute to lead
you to believe that the growers were sat-
isfied with the returjis for some of the
cut blooms, but I maintain that things
are obliged to regulate themselves and
that in the near future we will see the
cut blooms selling at their right value.

I know full well that it upset the
flower trade while sending flowers in
such quantities, but the growers will soon
learn to regulate their output so as not
to clash with the outdoor crops too se-
verely.

I have been told that one cannot ex-
pect to sell the bulbs if he puts flowers
on the market in competition with those
to whom he has sold the bulbs. Here I
must say that I think the remedy lies in
the growers' own hands, for instead of
buying bulbs from Europe they can buy
Virginian bulbs, leaving only the smaller
bulbs to be grown on for next season.
In this way they would practically have
the whole thing in their own hands.

Future of the Business.

That the demand for this class of
flower is increasing we know full well by
our local trade. Four years ago we had
as much trouble selling $5 worth of

Aa to the future possibilities of this

tically every bulb now imported into

MANCHESTER, MASS.

Unfavorable weather was the lot of
the North Shore Horticultural Society
for the big summer show, which was held
on the grounds of the Essex County Club
August 26 and 27. While there was a
slight falling off in entries, the quality
of the exhibits was superior.

Mrs. Gardner M. Lane, Hubert Shaw
gardener, secured the Schlegel & Fottler
special for the best collection of annuals.
The silver cup, value $25, for best 100-
foot group of ferns went to Mrs. E. S.
Grew, Alfred Parsons gardener, for an
excellent lot ; Mrs. Lester Leland, Eric
Wetterton gardener, second. The last
named exhibitor captured the silver cup
for the best group of flowering and fo-
liage plants arranged for effect. Mrs.
George Cabot won the cup for the best
table arranged by ladies. For best dis-
play of white flowers Mrs. James Mc-
Millan, F. F. Braseh gardener, led with a
splendid collection. The T. J. Grey Co.
prize for twenty annuals w-ent to the
same exhibitor, also the J. B. Dow spe-
cial prize for perennial phlox and the
Schlegel & Fottler special for collection
of zinnias. Mrs. A. G. Thayer won the
gold medal for best twelve vases of her-
baceous flowers.

For the largest and best collection of
vegetables Mrs. Philip Dexter, James
Salter gardener, won the White silver cup.
For twelve varieties of vegetables, prizes
offered by T. J. Grey Co., Mrs. Gordon
Abbott, William Irwin gardener, was
first, and Mrs. E. S. Grew second. Mrs.
Gordon Abbott also won the Schlegel &
Fottler special for collection, and the
same firm's special for collection of to-
matoes.

There were many fine displays in the
society's cut flower and plant classes. A
few successful exhibitors in addition to
those named were Miss Mary Bartlett,
Bernard Reilly gardener; Mrs. W. Scott
Fitz, William Kiss gardener; Mrs. S.
Parkman Blake, A. M. Pattillo, F. C.
Stevens, Mrs. S. Parker Bremer, Mrs.
George D. Howe and Mrs. H. L. Higgin-
son, James Scott gardener. The last
named exhibitor secured the society's
gold medal for the best table of cut
flowers arranged for effect.

Among miscellaneous exhibits were dis-
I)lay8 of dahlias from R. & J. Farquhar
& Co., and four splendid tables of gladi-
oli, including many fine seedlings from
Y.. H''mmond Tracy, of Wenham, Mass.

Summer business still prevails. The
store meu are taking stock and touching
up the salesrooms, to be ready when the
season opens.

A trip to the plant of Gude Bros,
found everything in exceptionally fine
\ shape. Mr. Mitchell, the superintendent,
is the happiest man in the district when
he shows visitors his carnation liouse, and
Mr. Sharper is in his glory when he
shows you the 75,000 mum plants. Mr.
Bartus can show one of the finest lots
of ferns south of New York. He has
the pest that caused so much trouble last
yeaf under perfect control. Some others
have not been so fortunate; they have
depended on chemicals, while he used his
fingers. A. Clude is the busiest man on
the place. He has the foundation ready
for the last house to be put up this sea-
son.

The next regular meeting of the club
will be held next Tuesday evening. They
Mill be the guests of Edward Schmidt,
better known as tho Bird King. The
meeting will be held at the Eagles' hall,
corner Sixth and E streets, N. W.

H. Prichard, of the Gude store, is

PACIFIC COAST.

The Park Nursery Co., of Pasadena,
Cal., is making some alterations and im-
proYementa in its city sales yards, 190
West Colorado street. The old build-
ing, which has done service as an office
for tvrenty-one years, has been removed,
and in place of it an attractive office and
a modem greenhouse are being erected.
Additional yard room has also been se-
eured.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Business still shows a tendency to
improve, and stock, especially of the
lighter shades, is quickly bought up. The
growers are still in the midst of chang-
ing their stock, and carnations and roses
are not plentiful. Asters are at their
best. The quality is good and the
prices are low. The best blooms can
be bought at $1.50 per hundred, and
even less. They will last for another
month; and then make way for chrysan-
themunfts. Some early varieties of these
are being offered in small quantities.
They are greenhouse grown and of good
quality. The outdoor stock looks well,
but will not be ready for cutting in
quantity for about four weeks. Roses
are scarce and anything that is really
good brings a fair price. Poorer quality
can be had at almost any figure offered.
Amaryllises are a glut in the market and
many thousands will be allowed to go
to waste in the fields. Japanese lilies
have not moved as quickly this week
as they did previously, and many in-
ferior flowers are coming into town; but
it is near the end of their season and
another couple of weeks will find them
disappeared. Sweet peas, except short-
stemmed stock, are scarce. Valley con-
tinues to move slowly. Gladioli and
dahlias have given way to the character-
istic fall flowers. Everything else in
the floral line is away down in price.
The weather continues to be cool, al-
though it is a shade warmer than last
week.

SMILAX ON THE PACinC COAST.

Smilax that is growing in a lath or
shade house should without delay be
put in shape for another season. If it
has not been growing too long in its
present location, the ground should be
well soaked and then carefully dug up,
with a quantity of manure between the
rows. Given another thorough soaking
and then a slight mulching of well rotted
manure, the growth will shortly com-
mence. Before it does, see that the
strings are all attended to. The young
shoots will grow fast with this treat-
ment, if the roots have been allowed to
dry out well during the summer, and
in a couple of weeks they will show
themselves nicely.

They should not be crowded too much
and, if the grower has house room suffi-
cient for them, they multiply quickly.

With the recurrence of another mild
winter, should we have one on the Pa-
cific coast, there will be no difficulty in
having splendid smilax all through the
winter season. Smilax watered now will be
fit to cut in November and, should the
season not be too severe from then on-
ward, another crop can easily be gather-
ed from the same plants. Very cold
weather retards the growth and some-
times may nip a portion of the tip of
the leaves, thereby greatly lessening the
value of the cut strings.

The texture is not quite so delicate
outside as it is under glass, but in gen-
eral work it answers well. Smilax that is
grown under glass will give considerable
more growth from the same number
of plants. They apparently do not need
such a long resting season and a better
quality is produced, but as smilax is al-
ways looked on as a cheap article at
best, many growers do not like to allow it
house room.

During favorable winters smilax grown
outside has proven to be a good money-
maker. Should the season, however, turn
out to be severe, a much poorer quality
of material will be produced and a much
smaller quantity as well. G.

WAYSIDE NOTES.

Carnation Enchantress has well main-
tained the name so aptly bestowed upon
it and will undoubtedly prove itself to
be as profitable a variety this season
as it was in the past. William P.
Pfeifer, of Utica, N. Y., challenges the
record made in March last, when in a
house 30x124 feet he gathered at one
picking 30,000 blooms. A photograph
taken at that time gives some idea of
the tremendous crop. This was not a
chance harvest, but the result of careful
fertilizing.

William Mathews, of Utica, reports
the demand for orchid blooms as being
on ^ the increase. At the time of my
visit Artist Harry was making up a
handsome wreath of bronze galax, touch-
ed oflF with Cattleya Ilarrisoniana and
Oncidium citrosmum.

Frank C. Baker, of Utica, was heading
for a ball game, being prevented from
attending the convention and taking part
with his Buffalo friends. Carnations
are all planted and look fine. Demand
for small ferns is increasing.

H. A. Maxiner, of Herkimer, N, Y.,
has made many improvements since he
purchased this plant, and feels at times
like spreading out. However, he read
President Traendly's address with much
interest and has decided to bide a wee
until business warrants expansion.

convention full of the good things seen
and heard there. Nothing like ocular
proof. One gets an entirely different
view than by reading reports, however
concise they may be.

Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, N. Y.,
usually carries over one-half his rose
stock. Replanting and cutting back later
cause the plants to make strong breaks.
Eight houses, each 130 feet long, are
planted with teas. KilJarney has done
well. White Killarney will be added
this season. The almost extinct Perle
is grown here and is shipped to all
parts in small numbers. It is the trade-
mark of this establishment.

WOBURN, Mass. — Charles Cummings
expects to begin work soon on a new
greenhouse, 40x360 feet.

FiNDLAY, O. — S. J. McMichael has a
house, 25x80, full of florists' stock. He
has 2,000 geraniums in the sand ready
to pot, besides ferns, palms and bedding
plants and a nice stock of pansies nearly
ready to ship. lie expects to bench 1,000
carnation plants this month and has no
thought of giving up the florists' de-
partment, although the vegetable plant
business has become so large. He is just
finishing fifteen hotbeds, 10x20 feet, for
growing vegetable plants. Last spring
he put down forty bushels of sweet
potatoes for plants and this year expects
to use eighty to 100 bushels. Last
spring he had to buy a great many
plants to fill orders and next year in-
tends to produce his stock himself.

H. S. King.

The Farmers ' Nursery Co., of Tip

Mooke's Eaely grape has been com-
ing into the markets in fine condition
and in considerable quantity during the
latter half of August and has made ex-
cellent prices.

D. M. Andrews, of Boulder, Colo.,

he is more than doubling his facilities,
having recently secured the necessary

The Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta

Nurserymen's Association upon the occa-

of the features of entertainment was a
watermelon feast on the roof of the
nineteen-story Candler building, Mr.
Candler being present in person and
proving himself a royal host.

Joseph W. Vestal & Son, Little Eock,
Ark., write as follows: "We notice in
your last issue that P. J. U. asks for a
remedy for the clematis bug. We have
more or less trouble with this bug every
seaison and have found that one applica-
tion of Hammond's slug shot will drive
them away. The powder should be used
when the bugs first appear and little
damage -will be done."

ENGLISH HAWTHORN FOR HEDGE

I spent my vacation last month in
Nova Scotia and was greatly interested
in the fine hedges of English hawthorn
that I saw in Yarmouth. Can you tell
me if this plant will grow well in central
New York? I have never seen a hedge of
it in our vicinity, but if I knew that it
would thrive I should like one myself.

A. W. W.

All the eratffigtis, or hawthorns, arc
hardy in New York, and are occasionally
used for hedging purposes in the eastern
states, only, however, on a small scale.
They grow vigorously and make excellent
lawn specimens, being equally attractive
either in flower or fruit. For hedges the
varieties Crataegus Oxyacantha, English
May thorn, with single white flowers and
scarlet fruit, and C. Crus-galli, lockspur
thorn, bright red fruit, single white flow-
ers, long, stout spines, are the best. For
hedging purposes start with small plants,
which can be set out in early spring three
feet apart. If you want a thick, closely
cropped hedge, cut the plants down close

to the ground after they comuiencc to
break, to insure a dense bottom.

The main objections which can be
urged to the use of hawthorn for hedging
purposes are that the foliage frequently
becomes disfigured by red spider in sum-
mer and borers attack the plants when
they become sizable. Still, there is no
reason why you should not have a hedge
which would last in good condition for a
number of years. In Cjreat Britain,
where hawthorn hedges are a feature, the
rows are often zigzagged, the plants
being sot as closely as a foot apart.
These hedges when closely cropped are
absolutely imponetrable. W. N. Craig.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

September 3, 1908.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Reports from all corners show a de-
cided increase in business over the pre-
ceding week. There was quite a demand
for wedding flowers. Plants were also
in more demand and ferns sold especially
well. There is a difference of opinion as
to what the coining season has in store
for us. With a little extra pushing, the
returns should not run behind the season
of 1907-8. The trouble with some is
that they just lie around and wait for
work to wake them up.

At the commission houses all good
stock sells readily. Poor stock, of course,
does not sell. The best groAvers some-
times have a streak of bad luck with
some of their stock, but by throwing
the poor stuff out at once, instead of
unloading it at the commission house,
they would save the express charges and
aid the commission man in getting a
better price for the good stock.

Various Notes.

Martin Reukauf and his wife spent the
better half of last week in this city.
Mrs. Reukauf was entertained by Mrs.
Maynard and was highly elated with the
City of the Straits. H. S.

COLUMBIA, S. C.

Mrs. J. M. Eison has just completed
one house, 21x120, making her three
houses in all and covering her ground so
no other improvements can be made
there. A general collection of plants
and cut flowers is grown.

Miss Wittvogel has added one house,
35x140 feet, making seven houses in all,
for cut flowers and general stock.

The Rose Hill Greenhouses have put
up a splendid cypress tank sixty feet
high, with a capacity of 15,000 gallons.
The water is for the greenhouses and
truck farm. Rose Hill has the largest
greenhouse plant in Columbia, eight
houses in all. Cut flowers are a specialty
there.

Mr. Becker has charge of the state
grounds; the work is mostly done by
convicts. This is the first season that
the grounds about the State House have
received any attention. The beds of
' salvias, eoleus, etc., arc looking well
and the grass is kept short.

Charleston, S. C. — Chas. M. Neuman
started six years ago with a hotbed and
today has thirteen greenhouses. Trade
has been good.

MINNEAPOLIS.

The Market.

Business picked up last week, and if
there had been enough stock, it would
have been on a par with the busy winter
weeks. Eoses are coming in a little more
plentifully. Asters are poor here this
season, and carnations are not yet in.
Beauties are scarce, but there is not
much demand for them.

Various Notes.

The attention of the florists is taken
up with the coming state fair. More of
the florists of each city will compete
than in any previous year, and greater
interest in the floral exhibit has mani-
fested itself.

Mr. Holmes, formerly witli the L. S.
Donaldson Co., and of late in Pittsburg,
is now with James Souden & Co.

The annual meeting of the Minnesota
State Florists' Association, for the elec-
tion of officers, was held September 3, at
Columbia hall, Merriam park. Copies
of the new constitution and by-laws, as
adopted at the June meeting, were dis-
tributed. M. E. M.

ERIE, PA.

State of Trade.

Business is quiet. Society folks have
gone camping along the lake. Summer
homes and cottages are attractive places
during this warm weather. A luncheon
or a dinner now and then add to the va-
riety of trade.

Various Notes.

Miss Trost, of Trost & Steinfurth, has
returned from her vacation.

Robert "Wallis, formerly rose grower
for the J. M. Gasser Co., at Cleveland,
is now with the Baur Floral Co., in this
city.

Mrs. Robert "Wallis has returned from
a visit to Cleveland.

L. A. Spoden is renting Mrs. W. Nie-
meyer's greenhouses on East Twenty-

The Weekly Florists^ Review* September 3. 1908.

MILVAUKEE.

The Market

Outside of funeral work and some
other little odds and ends, there was not
much doing. Still, the reports sound
fair, and there was no stock left over.
Asters, good and indiflferent, young roses,
gladioli, etc., even the few of the new
carnations, were all cleaned up in good
shape. The last named came from Madi-
son, for it will be some time yet before
the local specialists do much cutting.

Various Notes.

Two daughters of Adam Zender, of
Eogers Park, 111., spent several days
in this city last week, making their head-
quarters at Fred Holton's home.

We are glad to report that Mrs. Baum-
garten is well again and looking after
the interests of the Baumgarten Floral
Co. at Fifth street and Grand avenue
and at the Hotel Pfister.

Miss Kose Semler, so long employed
by the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., has re-
turned from a two weeks' vacation spent
at the Soo of Michigan and points of in-
terest in Canada.

Holton & Hunkel are beginning to cut
Ehea Keid roses of good quality at their
Brown Deer place.

William Edlefsen left for Pittsburg,
to visit his daughter, Mrs. William Scott,
and to meet his wife and daugater, Misa
Valeria, who stopped off there on their
trip home after spending several months
sojourning in Europe.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Reutschler and two
daughters, of Madison, Wis., were in our
midst last week.

Albert Hanson, of Racine, Wis., was
here the first part of last week, looking
for field-grown carnation plants

Everybody, without fail, should attend
the florists' picnic next Sunday at Crys-
tal Spring park. All arrangements are
completed and it is now up to the mem-
bers to help make it a success.

Leonard Kill, of Chicago, spent Sun-
day in our midst. E. O.

Bangor, Me. — The Now Floral Co.
has moved into a new and larger store,
in which Mr. Hutchins also has an added
attraction in the Thistle tea room, con-
ducted by Miss Weed.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Septbmbiib 3, 1908.

PEORIA, ILL.

Peoria and vicinity have been visited
by several heavy showers, which were
much needed.

A most enjoyable event was the fishing
party and banquet given by D. U. Aug-
spurger & Sons to their employees and
friends. Part of the time was spent in
fishing and rowing. In the evening all
sat down to an elaborate spread, which
was under the personal supervision of
Mr. and Mrs. H. Scherff. Those present
were: Mr. and Mrs. D. U. Augspurger,
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Augspurger, Mr.
and Mrs. M. D. Augspurger, Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Ruppel, Mrs. W. E. Hack,
A. Lomuel, James E. Hack, William
Wrigley, Howard Matthews, Rudolph Ja-
cobs, Walter Craig, Atlee and Sydney
Augspurger, and Misses Eleanor Gustav-
son, Ruth Sherwoods, Vivian Watt and
Adeline and Eva Augspurger.

It is rumored that a certain Peorian
has purchased one and one-half acres
in the western part of the city and will
cover the property with greenhouses.
Nothing definite can be learned of the
transaction, however. H. C. R.

NEW ORLEANS.

On Gentilly road, in the suburbs of
New Orleans, are situated several large
growers of chrysanthemums. A. Alost,
at the Rose Villa Nursery, is among the
most important. Three houses, 20x110,
are planted in Robinson, in solid ueds.
The covering is of movable glazed
frames, which are put in place when the
buds are fairly expanded. Mr, Alost
grows nne flowers and is well satisfied
with his system of growing. Other houses
are filled with different stock or ready
to be planted in sweet peas, bulbs and
flowering stuff, which are the specialties
of the establishment. Mr. Alost believes
in growing what pays, and his large
business in cut flowers at his stand at
the French market calls for any quantity
of stuff all the year around. His field
roses are just now a little at rest, but
they will start with a new vigor some-
time next month. A large plot of ground,
which is now planted in cowpeas, to be
plowed under as a fertilizer, will be
sowed in annuals for early spring.

A Wonderful New Nephrolepis

Nephrolepis Superbissima

Introduction of 1908

We deeire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year.

It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they
were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over-
lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact.

It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green-
entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the
fronds never breaking down.

While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of
the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact
growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand
more knocking around than any other fern of this type.

It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant
that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class
with the other varieties.

It was awarded a rlfST'CId-SS w6rllTlCd,Te by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in
London, November, 1908, the plants exhibited there bavins: been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After
being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class
Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates
in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities.

We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

SEEDS.

COBURN'S SELECTED PANSY SEED.
BEST MARKET STRAIN GROWN.

Our seed is saved from about 12,000 plants,
carefully selected, when in bloom, from the
500,000 we grow for our spring sales.

Each plant is carefully selected, color, size,
form and substance being taken into considera-
tion, and the proportion of each color is prop
erly balanced.

As a result of over 25 years' work along these
lines, we feel Justified in claiming to have the
t>eHt strain of pansies on the market, and w«
invite trial and comparison.

Growing our stock in this manner, we have
only a limited amount of seed to spare, and In
order to distribute as widely as possible, we
offer It in packets of 1000 seeds. Price, $1.00
per packet (only one to each customer).

The Morehead Mfg. Co., of Detroit,
writes that it has started suit in the
U. S. Circuit Court, before Judge Swan,
for an injunction to prevent the manu-

STEAM HEAT WITH GAS AS FUEU

I have a. house, 20x100, on a grade;
one-half measures nine feet to the ridge
and the other half eleven feet to the

is two feet. The beds are nearly all

Dear Sirs:— If the Morehead Return Trap cost ten times what you ask for it, it would
be cheap when time, labor and cost of repairs are consid-

I recommend it to everyone who talks steam. Yours,

lower end, to heat with steam. How
many runs of 2-inch pipe will I need?

The hou6e is well built, but not pro-
tected in any way. The temperature in
this part of Ohio seldom goes lower than
10 or 12 degrees below zero. There are
gas wells on all sides of the house, so we
intend to try it as fuel, which will save
a night fireman. O. E. K.

If, as I understand your problem, it
is to heat a house 20x100 with steam,
using gas for fuel, I would say, use
11/4 -inch pipes for returns and a 2-inch

pipe for the main flow or riser only. A
single 2-inch flow from the boiler lo
the far end of the house, under the
ridge, with twelve l^-inch returns,
should give a temperature of 65 to 70
degrees under zero weather. The small
pipes are easier to install, and a little
cheaper than large pipe for a given
amount of radiation. L. C. C.

PIPING FOR A HOTBED.

We have a boiler which is used to
generate steam to run an engine. Please
advise how many runs of pipe and what
size it would take to heat a hotbed six
feet wide, the beds being in a protected
place very near the boiler. Should we
use some of the pipe under the ground
and some above, and how would we get
the condensation back to the boiler? We
want to grow a general line of plants.

V. N.

I regret to say that I cannot answer
your question unless you state the length
of the hotbed and give more information
regarding the relation of the pro])osed
hotbed to the boiler in question. It is
likely that the water can only be re-
turned to the boiler by means of a feed
pump, injector or return steam trap.

EXPANSION OF COIL JOINTS.

Will you be kind enough to give me in-
formation as to the best way of finish-
ing the ends of valved steam pipe coils,
so that, when only a i>art of the coil is
in use, the cxi)ansion of those in use
will not be continually breaking the
joints? I have the coils lying flat un-
der the side benches. All are returns,
as I use overhead flows. 8ay there are
four pipes in a coil and I wish to use
one, two or three ; tlie chances are that
the expansion will cause either the tee or
the nipple forming the manifold to
break. I have some just arranged in
straight runs, with drainage coming out
at one side, and other coils I have ar-
ranged' with short bonds, the whole coil
beijig 150 feet long, Init with no better
results.

I only scorn to have trouble with those
lying flat. With those hanging one

A Capitol Boiler in the greenhouse assures two mighty
important results:

First, less coal.

Second, in case of accident, quick repairs can be made without
interfering with the continued heating of the house— this because
of the Divided Sections.

We suggest that you communicate with florists who are using
Capitol Boilers. We will send you such addresses on request.
Get the testimony of experience. Surely you want to be on the safe
side of the heating expense. Send for our catalog and address of

DAYTON. OHIO.

Condition of Business.

Business throughout the month of Au-
jjuat was, in general, good, with a some-
what generous amount of funeral work,
so our local retail dealers are offering
no complaint. The wholesaler has found
that demand for stock out of town is
greater than the demand at home. First-
class stock seems to sell more readily
than the cheaper grades. Long-stemmed
Brides and Maids are wholesaling at $5
per hundred.

All of the new stock is showing up
well, and there is already a good supply
of new carnations on the market. Asters
still continue to be plentiful, while Beau-
ties from young plants are fine, in both
color and foliage.

Outdoor stock did not amount to a
great deal this season, as the weather
has been so hot and dry that everything
looks dried up and baked. We can
truthfully say that during the month of
August we did not have a good rain.

Various Notes.

All of our delegates to the S. A. F.
convention have returned and all say they
had a grand time throughout their visit,
to the falls and other points. We all
rejoice over the fact that our Cincin-
nati brethren were so fortunate as to
obtain the convention for 1909.

Mr. and Mrs. Cook and daughter,
Mabel, of New Orleans, La., came on
to Dayton from the convention with Mrs.
B. Hendrichs, and were her guests during
last week. They left August 31, for
a week's visit to Chicago, after which
they will again call at Dayton,

George Collins, manager for Peter
Reinberg, of Chicago, was the guest of
George Bartholomew for a few days last
week. While in the city, Mr. Collins
visited several of the other florists and
also Mr. Hearlin, of the National Mili-
tary Home. On his way home Mr. Col-
lins stopped at Newcastle, Ind., and
visited the greenhouses there.

Mrs. E. Young spent a few days in
Toledo, O., last week.

The Miami Floral Co. has just had a
new 8-inch well drilled, fifty feet in
depth. Their greenhouses are in fine
condition and prospects are most prom-
ising for the coming season.

Alice Le Baron and Florence Culver,
who for two weeks were the guests of
Ruby Bartholomew, returned August 27
to their home in Chicago.

A Successful Florist

whose stock is always fresh, fraj^raiit and attractive, always uses a
McCray Refrijjerator. McCray Refrifjerators have the proper system
of cold air circulation, which is so stroiiii^ and steady that there can be
no stagnant air or dampness in a McCray Refrigerator. Less ice is
used than in any other kind of refrigerator, and this results in a
saving which pays for the McCray itself.

ivCcOax i^frigerators

jj^ive your shop a look of elegance. They are made and finished in the
most beautiful manner, and are lined with white enamel, opal glass,
tile, mirrors or white marble, as you desire.

McCray Refrigerators are guaranteed to give satisfaction, and
are made in regular sizes for immediate shipment, or are built to
order for any requirement.

ONCINNATL

The Market

None of us has any kick coming as to
tbe business during August. For a sum-
■er month, business held out •well, and
■ome in the trade have told me that
fteir business during last month exceed-
ed that of any August for several years
kack. That does not sound much *ike
kard times in the florists' trade.

Trade last week was not any too rush-
ing, but every now and then there was
» little spurt which cleaned out the
narket well. Roses were in greatest
fupply and they sold fairly well, but
there was not enough demand to clean
them up and, as a consequence, a good
many found their way into the dump,
and the price obtained for those that did
sell was not very good. Carnations
•f anything like good quality sell well,
but most of those coming in are poor
and, if not sold at once, are sound
asleep the next morning. Good asters
kave been scarce and the better grades
have brought good prices. "White in
any grade sold well, but in the poorer
qualities it was hard to move other col-
ors. Some cosmos, the first of the sea-
son, arrived last week and it was good
in quality. It sold well as a novelty.
Lilies are scarce and good property.
Tuberose spikes are in demand and bring
a ^ good price. We are well supplied
with green goods of all kinds. •

It is good to see the wagon-loads of
trunks which are being hauled to the
suburbs every day now. They mean the
return of the flower buyers, and their
presence will soon be felt in the flower
trade. The mum will announce the open-
ing of the fall trade and it will now
be but a few weeks till we are in the
midst of another season's business. Let
us hope that it will be a good one, as
•'verything now indicates it will be.

Various Notes.

The next meeting of the Florists'
Society will be held in the club room
Saturday, September 12, at 8 p. m. We
Ifbpe that the members will make an
extra effort to be present, as from now
on the advice and assistance of each
one of them will be especially needed.
We have secured the S. A. F. convention

The Garland Concrete Bench

THE sections can be made during the dull season and set up in a hurry. The outfit is
inexpensive and it is the cheapest and best bench on the market. It can be made at
about the same cost as a good wooden bench. It can be used with cement posts,
wood stringers cement or tile bottoms and wood or cement sides. Complete mold outfits
sold, or the mold for any part. Every florist should have at least one of these post molds, as
the cement posts are cheaper than cedar and easier set, no hole being required ; they are
everlasting and can be used for complete cement construction if in the first place used with the
balance of the bench made of wood. One of our largest growers has adopted this bench
construction and now has 600 barrels of cement on the place to be used in this construction
this winter.

BUD ON DUCKHAM.

What is the time to take the bud on
William Duckham chrysanthemums in
order to get the best flowers?

W. W. D.

The proper bud to take on William
Duckham is a crown bud taken from
August 18 to 30. If a bud is taken much
earlier the flower is short-petaled and
the individual petals are green at the
tips, making the flower unattractive. If
the later bud is taken, in .September,
while the petal is large and of good
color, the flower comes hollow in the cen-
ter and in some cases drops its petals.
If W. W. D. gets it as near as possible
to the dates I have mentioned he will
have little cause to complain of the size
or finish of this variety.

MILDEW AND RUST.

Please tell me what the enclosed chry-
santhemum leaves are aflFected with and
the remedy. I have several varieties
that are more or less affected with the
same disease, though none so badly as
the Mrs. Cunningham and Harrison
Dick, from which the enclosed leaves
were taken. I used a soil prepared last
fall, consisting of two parts soil and
one part decayed cow manure. When I
gave the last shift I added a 6-inch pot
of fine bone meal to a barrowful of
soil. They are now in 7-inch pots. I
feed them once a week with liquid ma-
nure and give free ventilation, with
top, sides and doors open. E. L. B.

These plants are affected with chry-
santhemum mildew and also show signs
of being attacked with rust. For mil-
dew, dust the leaves with flowers of
sulphur and air-slaked lime, finely sifted,
in equal proportions,

Eust is encouraged by a cold, damp
atmosphere and makes rapid advances
as the nights begin to cool. The follow-
ing mixture- usually is effective : Copper
carbonate, one ounce; ammonia, enough
to dissolve the copp«r; water, nine gal-
lons.

The copper carbonate is best dissolved
in large bottles, where it will keep with-
out spoiling and should be diluted with
water as required. Ribes.

CHRYSANTHEMUM GOLDEN GLOW

The writer, having some experience
with this August flowering mum, feels
that too much cannot be said in its
favor, except with regard to its name.
The name brings to the vision that very
common flower, rudbeckia, yet in size
and beauty and foliage there is no com-
parison, as the mum has a 5 1^ -inch
flower, of beautifully incurved form and
bright, clean golden yellow in color.

This variety can easily be brought into

flower by the middle of August and
from then till the middle of September
and likely later. The store man should
hail the coming of this mum with much
interest, as at the present time there
is scarcely anything else good on the
market. Though asters are yet on the
market, the customer should be excused
if he is tiring of asters for the season,
while good roses are scarce and quickly
perishable, and carnations are poor.

It is a boon to the flower-loving and
plant-buying public and should give the
plant grower an immense home demand
for young plants in April and May for

TAKING THE BUD.

Willyou please tell me if there is any
set rule for taking the bud on mums?
It so happens that I have several varie-
ties that are new to me and I am at
a loss as to which bud should be taken.
The stock is for the Boston market.

M. O.

There is no set rule for bud selection;
you cannot treat all varieties alike. The
commercial grower does not figure much
on the earliest buds, excepting on the
earliest varieties, but the exhibitor, who
wants the very largest flowers, must, in
the majority of cases, get the crown bud
from the middle of August onward.

That novices may understand the dif-
ference between what are known as
crown buds and terminal buds, it might
be said that crowns are the buds that
form in the earlier stages of the growth
of the plant, the terminal bud being the
terminus, or finish of the growth. The
difference between the buds may be
known in several ways, the time they are
prouuced being one way. The earliest
buds are usually crowns.

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

The terminal bud is surrounded by a
cluster of smaller buds, and appears in
September or later, according to the
time the plants are set out. The flower
produced from a terminal bud is never
so large as from crown buds. In some
cases it is more highly colored, some of
the pink varieties showing this condition.

"How early can I take a crown bud
with safety?" is often asked. This will
vary with varieties and localities. In
New Jersey it is safe after August 20
to take buds of any varieties except a
few late kinds. Some growers in the
middle west say they can do little with-

crown buds taken in August, as the air
is much drier and the buds shrivel in-
stead of swelling. At any rate, by the
second week in September your buds
should be selected.

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

A WHITE THAT SHOWS COLOR.

I have some chrysanthemums which
were bought for White Jerome Jones.
They are not white. I would call them
a very nice apricot and have no fault
to find with the color, but they come
single, or semi-double at the best, all
with a very distinct yellow eye. Can
you tell me why?

Last year Maynell had a very weak
neck. Just as the bloom was getting
about right it would hang over. The
stem close to the bloom seemed to be
hollow and soft. I think they were a
little that way the year before, but am
sure I had them right the first year or
two. W. C.

The variety White Jerome Jones has
a tendency to show color if grown very
cool after the buds show color. If the
temperature is kept at 60 degrees or
over, this trsiit will disappear.

They are also inclined to come single
or semi-double, but this fault can also
be remedied by judicious feeding. With
the liquid food from manure, add nitrate
of potash in the proportion of one pound
to fifty gallons of water.

Weak necks are frequently caused by
want of ventilation; sometimes, also, by
too much humus in the soil and too much
water. Varieties so inclined require spe-
cial treatment in these respects.

FEEDING CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Now that the manuring of the plant
is so much better understood than for-
merly, we hear less of loss through the
damping off of the florets. This mishap
may be caused by other things, but the
chief cause is too much artificial ma-
nure applied to the soil, such as sulphate
of ammonia and nitrate of soda, which
injures the finer roots, causes a check,
and lowers the health of the plants. I
have noticed that a sudden burst of sun-
shine following dull days will also set
up damping of the fioreto, which is most
marked on excessively manured plants.

artificial manures are not applied and
the blooms merely required for house
decoration, are seldom injured in this
manner. Some growers think that the
mishap is due to lack of air, and they
forthwith throw open the ventilators and
doors, causing a draught. Instead of

doing that, I would advise the use of
the hot water pipes, ventilating freely
in the front of the house, and only a
little at the top. It is not the quantity
of air so much as the manner in which
it is applied that has to be studied. — B.
Molyneux, in Gardeners' Chronicle.

SCROLL AND RIBBON.

This illustration of a funeral design
by C. H. Fox, Columbia avenue and
Twenty-first street, Philadelphia, is the
same as given two weeks ago, with the
addition of a bow of white satin ribbon,
lettered, and shows the position preferred
by Mr. Fox for this final touch. It fre-
quently happens that lettered ribbon is
required and the aim when using it
should be to avoid conventionality as
much as possible. The use of caladium
leaves is a novel feature. Phil.

THE lOVA PANEL.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a design made at Lo-
zier's, Des Moines, la., on the order of
the state of Iowa for the funeral of
Senator Wm. B. Allison. The original
was a panel seven feet long and four
feet wide. The panel in the center con-
tained 1,500 white carnations. The let-
tering "Iowa" was put in with red
carnations. The two opposite corners
carried cattleyas. The upper left-hand
corner was of auratum lilies and lilies
of the valley and the right-hand corner
had a large bow of 7-inch satin ribbon,
with lettering to indicate Allison's years
of service for the state of Iowa, which is

visible in the illustration. The design
had a heavy border of pond lilies and
was well backed up with maidenhair
ferns throughout. Lozier's received a
letter from Governor Cummins and his
staflP, saying that the emblem was with-
out doubt the most elegant piece of work
ever purchased by the state, and sur-
passed anything else shown at the Alli-
son funeral. They made this same de-
sign for President McKinley's funeral.

SOME WINDOWS.

Miniature Fields of Daisies.

Daisies are saucy and independent.
They are seen in great numbers under
fences, peeping through pickets and
around the corners. They have fine cut
foliage and almost make their own light.
The prettiest effect for them would be
to show a field. This is a picture which
can be used often, and it would pay to
have a hundred or two of short, narrow,
flat-bottomed receptacles, about two'
inches deep, that will hold one or two
stems. Place these about as close to-
gether as they will stand. Cover with
green moss over the top and sides. Fill
the vases with the fewest number possible
of the daisies. If the flowers lop down

too much, pack the stems in an upright
position with a little sphagnum in each
vase.

The coolest imagination can see a
daisy field and no long experience would
be required to turn around and make one
in a window with this simple equipment:
On a stump, set anywhere but in the
center of the window, invert any straw
garden hat and fill it with daisies, being
careful (?) to see that some fall out
over the brim and down over the stump
to the ground. Set a plant or two of
fine cut foliage or ferns against the
base of the stump, and you have your
daisy field with its touch of life.

Q>mfIowers in White Baskets.

Cornflowers work in well in a number
of those white enamel baskets which did
not sell. Have as many different sizes
and shapes of this one kind of basket
as are obtainable. Set some on the floor
of the window. Suspend some, and have
several elevated on birch bark pedestals.
It will sell the cornflowers and the bas-
kets, too. It might be well to use a few
double white centaureas in a mass of the
blue.

When some of the wild flowers are to
be had, try cat-tails and gladioli to-
gether. While cat-tails are usually in
fine favor for decorative purposes, you
will find that a goodly proportion of
your customers do not want to try gla-
dioli, claiming that they are stiff and
difl&cult to arrange. Make a gladiolus
window and show them how to use glad-
ioli gracefully.

A GraceftsI Gladiolus Window.

The one thing to avoid in handling
these beautiful flowers is massing them.
Narrow necked crockery jugs or um-
brella stands are appropriate receptacles
for gladioli. Make a latticework panel
of the cat-tails across the back of the
window and have several jars set at
irregular intervals in the window. Two
or three cat-tails pulled through the
handle of the jars or scattered on the
floor will help to relieve any tendency to
stiffness which may creep into your ar-
rangements. One vase could be made up

of crimson and crimson purple and their
pinks, another of the blotched buff and
crimson so often seen, and another of
the crimson pink alone. Keep the scar-
lets and their pinks out for another
day.

G>reopsi8 and Goldenrod.

Cat-tails and goldenrod or coreopsis
or Golden Glow make a charming com-
bination. Coreopsis makes rich masses
against a brown background of old pine
needles or oak leaves. Make a big rush
or rice-straw basket of coreopsis or
Golden Glow and run a group of cat-
tails, with the foliage, up one side of
the handle, but do not attempt to train
to the shape of the handle. To keep them
in this position, tie with a bow of their
own foliage.

To use cat-tails with goldenrod, make
a round sheaf of the latter, bind in with
cat-tail leaves and catch a few in the
sheaf. Stand the sheaf in a prominent
place. Close by make another of the
same, more loosely arranged and thrown
<iown on one side. This also would like
a brown setting.

Wheat Sheaves and Gladioli.

Here is another plan for a gladiolus or
phlox display. Cut up several sheaves
of wheat and scatter loosely with some
coarse fern leaves, closely enough to
cover the floor. Shopworn or broken
sheaves will serve this purpose well
enough. Fill several tall vases with
water and set at wide intervals about
the window. Fill the vases with a few
fine stalks of gladioli or phlox. Around
each vase build a shock of large wheat
sheaves. Plenty of open space should
be allowed between the shocks. Only
a very large window will accommodate
more than two or three shocks. This
will prove to be a seasonable display
scheme, and the wheat is a fine setting
for the brilliant colors of either gladioli
or phlox. Some patience will be re-
quired to construct a good shock with
the stiff sheaves, but the results will
justify the effort.

Asters and Mums.

In the way of special design windows
for an aster or chrysanthemum show, try
this: Make a soft, thick background
of several layers of white cheesecloth
laid in waves. Over this lay another cov-
ering of wide Nile green chiffon or veil-
ing. Here and there under the chiffon
lay an aster or mum of the prevailing
color, and as a centerpiece set in a large
vase or basket of asters with a smart
bow of the green.

Here is another mum window: Get a
few cornstalks from which the ears have
been removed and the husks left. Where
the ear was, place a big mum and re-
adjust the husks like a ruching around
the flower, up close under the head. Put
in tall vases sparsely and display with a
tapestry across the back of the window.
Make the tapestry of strings of grains
of red and yellow corn. This setting is
fine for red, yellow or white mums, but
not for the heliotrope pinks.

Alluring Features. .

Having a casual observer stop and look
for a moment at the window is hardly
onough to bring him in. Have some
little, attractive feature which shall in-
terest him enough to induce him to fol-
low it to its source. This feature, what-
ever it is, must not only be a leader to
draw the eye on, but must be one of

sable nor essential to the design, but
still a link in the chain of temptation.
Let it be something curious, something
quaint, like a bit of ribbon or an odd
piece of pottery, a streak of unusual foli-
^S^j & garland of flowers, or some co-
quettish touch or suggestion of life.

For example, suppose you are display-
ing a field of phlox after the manner of
the daisy field just described. You want
some little feature added. A hatful of
phlox would not be at all taking, like
the daisy hat, so you cut a number of
quarter-yard lengths of chiffon, some
plain, some embroidered, all in colors
which harmonize with the color of the
phlox. Of each of these make a little
butterfly bow, either with wings up as
when the butterfly alights, or with wings
extended as in- flight. On one side of
the window make a line of them hover-
ing over and alighting on the flowers.
Group quite a cluster of them together,
and then gradually thin the line and
scatter the butterflies till they disappear

A Question of Priority.

In an article which appeared on page
13 of the Review of August 27, Peter
Crowe states that he believes himself to
be the oldest rose grower in the United
States, with perhaps one exception, John
N. May. Mr. Crowe has been forty-two
years in the rose business, he says. I
think I can beat him a little. I went
into business in this town — Atchison,
V an. — in March, 1865, so I will be forty-
four years in the business next March. 1
am not a large grower, but I have grown
more or less roses every year since then.

STERILIZATION OF SOILS.

An Important Problem.

One of the most important problems
with which the grower has to deal is
that of subduing his enemies. So far
as the general mastery of the situation
is concerned, the florist has no com-
plaint to make. Indeed, there is no line
of agriculture, using the term in its
broadest sense, in which the operator
comes as near being the real master of
the situation as in farming under glass.
If the soil is too rich or too poor or too
light or too heavy, he can add sand, plant
food or leaf-mold and prepare it ac-
cording to his own formula. If his
plants need water, he does not need to
watch the clouds or bombard the skies,
but simply open the faucet. The tem-
perature and other important factors are
equally under his control.

However, with all of this, he still has
a number of important problems to deal
with in the control of certain insects
and diseases. Among the latter, none
are more diflScult to handle, perhaps,
than those which infest the soil.

A PromiuDg Crop Ruined.

Some five years ago we had growing
in the greenhouse of the Iowa State
College a crop of winter tomatoes and
cucumbers, consisting of the American
and English forcing varieties. About
the middle of the forcing season, when
the heaviest set of fruit was ripening,
the plants suddenly began to wilt and
show signs of disorder. They bore a
good leaf system ; the f oUage appeared
to be green and healthy; the plants had
done quite well up to this time and had
a good set of fruit, and everything
seemed to be favorable. The soil was
moist and in good condition, which made
the wilting all the more puzzling. The
soil was washed away and the root sys-
tem of some of the plants examined. It
was found that they were badly infested
with a club root growth somewhat like
the club root of the cabbage. An ex-
amination under a microscope revealed
the presence of a small, microscopic
worm, known as the nematode, which
was the real cause of the trouble.

Ravages of the Nematode.

This animal really belongs to the
worm family and is, strictly speaking,
not an insect. It is closely related to
the vinegar eel, the trichina of pork, the
tapeworm, liver fluke and other creatures
of bad repute.

Its work is confined to the root sys-
tem and the most serious injury comes,
not in a direct way, but through its in-
terference with the absorptive function
of the roots; hence the wilting of the
leaves. As a result of their presence,
the plant becomes weakened and enfee-
bled and is therefore liable to become
affected with other diseases.

The range of plants aflfected by the
•ematode is quite large, and in onr own

experience the cucumber seemed to be
affected worst and the tomato next.
Lettuce was not troubled. A number of
the flowering plants, such as roses and
carnations, are also inhabited by it.

Methods of Treatment.

j^s to methods of treatment, which is
perhaps the point of special interest to
you, we first tried impregnating the soil
with certain chemicals, such as nitrate
of soda, lime, etc. These had but little
effect and were not to be relied upon.
We then tried a method recommended
by Professor Stone, of the Massachu-
setts Experiment Station, namely, that
of steaming the soil. The term "ster-
ilization," which has been widely used
to designate this process, is really a
misnomer. The term "steaming the
soil ' ' would really be more appropriate.
In applying the treatment, the soil is
placed in a tank, through which a num-
ber of steam pipes are run. These
pipes are perforated every foot or less.
After the tank is filled with soil and
covered, a pressure of about fifty pounds
of steam is turned into it for a period
of about two hours. Through the accu-
mulation of heat, a temperature of from
180 to 200 degrees is secured. This ex-
cessive heat destroys the eggs and live
nematodes.

Other Benefits from Sterilization.

There are also certain other benefits
accruing from this treatment. Eggs of

plant lice and other insects are de-
stroyed, as are also weed seeds. Certain
spores of fungous diseases, such as
mildew, are also killed, though it should
be noted in this connection that the
temperature is not sufiScient to destroy
the spores of some of the worst diseases
the florist has to deal with, . such as
damping off.

The treatment also has a good influ-
ence in rendering more available the
plant food of the soil. Heat accelerates
chemical action, and it has been noticed
that when soil has been treated the
growth is more vigorous, due to the fact
that the organic matter in the soil is
more rapidly broken down and rendered
available as plant food,

O>nstruction of the Tank.

The cost of a tank such as we are
using is as follows:

2% barrels cement f 4.0IF

2^ yards gravel SB-

4 16-foot planks 3.8&

9 2-lnch caps 90

$28.30
The figures are for a tank 14x4x4 feet.

The tank we are at present using is
made of wood, though in the sketch on
page 7 I have suggested the use of con-
crete instead. The top may be cov-
ered with hotbed sashes, as the work i»
done during the summer, when these are
idle. It will be noticed that on one
side plank are used. This is quite a
convenience, as they may be lifted and
the soil shoveled out from below. A con-
crete tank of this kind may be readily
constructed by anyone. Ordinarily,,
woven wire fencing is used for rein-
forcing the walls and %-inch piping at
the corners for reinforcement.

Zr^ HB r~^ I Cyclamens. * ^H^^IS

Do not be in a hurry about housing
the cyclamens now growing in the cold-
frames. They will be better where they
are until the end of September, and if
you cannot give them a good, light posi-
tion, it will be just as well to hold them
in the frames until the early mums are
out of the way. The sun's rays, while
strong, are steadily declining and there
will be no need to run shades over the
plants before 10 o'clock in the morning,
and they should be removed by 3:30 in
the afternoon. The evening sprayings
will have been discontinued for some
time. The increasingly heavy night dews
arc, however, of decided benefit to the
plants. They now grow fast and seem to
revel in the cooler atmospheric condi-
tions.

Do not forget to keep some fresh
tobacco stems packed between the pots,
to keep thrips away. Water now with

greater care. Do not give any unless
the soil is fairly dry. Plants should
now go into their flowering pots a»
soon as possible. As growth is now
rather rapid, the pots will require spac-
ing once a week. Do not allow the
leaves to touch if you want good, shapely
plants.

If seeds for next season's plants are
not yet sown, no time should be lost
in getting them started. Those sown
early in August are now germinating
nicely. Watering must be done care-
fully. On no account let the soil be-
come dry and do not let the sun's rays^
strike the little seedlings.

Primulas.

Treatment such as is recommended for
cyclamens will also suit primulas to a
nicety. The plants should all be in
their blooming pots by this time, and
careful watering, especially of the Chi-
nese section, is needed to preserve good

foliage. The red varieties are useful
at Christmas. To get them in bloom
at this rather early season, it is neces-
sary to house the plants about the mid-
dle of September, giving them a light
but shaded position in a house kept at
from 45 to 50 degrees at night in win-
ter. A shelf well up to the glass will
grow nice, stocky plants, if bench space
is at a premium.

Lorraine Begonias.

Have you noted how amazingly the
Lorraine begonias have grown since the
cooler nights arrived ? It seems as though
they doubled in size in a couple of weeks,
and are putting on a color and display-
ing a vigor such as the plantsman loves
to see. While this begonia opens its flow-
ers'better in a moderately warm house,
it should not be subjected to any forcing
process. The plants will soon need a
trifle of fire heat on cold nights, but 50
degrees at night is ample for a few
weeks. Staking and tying up the shoots
must not be neglected. Leave the stakes,
which should be as thin and unobtrusive
as possible, long enough to allow of an
additional tie a little later. Where you
want the plants to bloom early, pinching
out of tops and flower buds can be dis-
continued. Late propagated plants can
be grown several together in 6-inch pans.
There is still time to make neat little
specimens of these. To secure first-class
specimens, hang them up or place near
the glass.

Rambler Roses.

Those ramblers wanted for early forc-
ing must now have the water supply
gradually reduced. The plants cannot
be in too sunny a spot. Every shoot
should get all possible sunlight, to prop-
erly harden it. This is impossible if
they have been allowed to ramble over
the ground. The superiority of pot-
grown plants over lifted stock, espe-
cially for early forcing, admits of no
question. It is an easy matter to pick
out the plants in a store, when in bloom,
which have been grown under each
system.

Boston Ferns.

Boston ferns have made surprising
growth in the benches this season. The
work of potting up the largest plants
should be attended to at once. Clean
out your bench as soon as possible, so
that it can be utilized for some other
crop. Kemember that if you want stocky
plants of nephrolepis you must not shade
them heavily, but merely break the sun's
direct rays. N. Amerpohlii promises to
sell well the coming season, while those
who have N. Todeaoides are favorably im-
pressed with it. N. exaltata Bostoniensis
is still more grown than any other va-
riety. N. Whitmani is probably the sec-

ond in popularity, taking the country
over. N. superbissima will also be in it
with the leaders. N. Scottii seems, some-
how, to be losing popularity. ' ' Too much
like a poorly grown Boston fern, ' ' is the
comment often heard.

Gardenias.

Pinching the gardenia shoots must now
be discontinued where you are looking
for a midwinter crop of blooms. The
benches are now becoming well filled with
roots. Use extreme care in watering. On
no consideration let the soil become sog-
gy, or yellowing of the foliage and se-
rious loss of buds will be the inevitable
results. Plants grown outdoors or in

frames, in pots, should be gotten under
cover when the night temperatures start
descending to 40 degrees or below it. A
temperature of 65 to 70 degrees at night
will be found all right for the benched
stock.

Chrysanthemums.

Work among the mums is now steadily
increasing. Many of the earlier vari-
eties now have the buds well advanced
and thinned out. Do not let up on the
tying. An hour or two a day at it will
accomplish wonders. Remove all the low-
er leaves which are dead or badly de-
cayed, and if not already done, spread a
light mulching of well decayed manure
over the surface of the benches. Late
planted stock will not require any mulch
just now. It will appreciate it early in
October. Black fly must be allowed no
quarter. Fumigate once a week, always
selecting cool nights for this operation,
and look out for the hairy caterpillars,
which will speedily ruin the appearance
of a batch of plants.

Pot plants will require manure water
once in four days. Those in benches will
require some after the buds are taken.
We like to alternate the doses, cow ma-
nure followed by nitrate of soda, sheep
manure and dried blood being the rota-

tion. Any syringing should now be com-
pleted in the early part of the day, so
that the foliage will be quite dry before
nightfall.

Scented Geraniums.

If a good stock of cuttings of scented
geraniums has not yet been inserted, the
present is a good time to get them in.
Growth outdoors is rank and the cuttings
will be found soft and sappy. Trim them
off closely and let some of the sap dry
out of them before placing in the sand.

In the case of lemon-scented verbenas,
the cuttings rubbed off with a heel and
given a little bottom heat root the best.
One or two old plants should always be
lifted, stored in a cool, light pit and
kept dry over winter. Plenty of good
cuttings will be obtained from these in
early spring.

Show Pelargoniums.

The cut back plants of show pelargoni-
ums will have broken nicely by this time
and can be shaken out and repotted.
Place them in smaller sized pots than
they flowered in and you will find that
they make much better headway than in
the larger size. Keep on the dry side
for a time after potting, but spray over
lightly once or twice a day. Pot off
cuttings put in at the time the plants
were pruned back. Tliese will do in cold-
frames yet for a few weeks. If placed in
a greenhouse, let it be a cool one and
give them a light bench.

Ericas.

Ericas have made excellent growth in
the open ground and are now thickly
clustered with flower buds. The roots
of heaths are all fine and hair-like and,
in lifting, should be broken as little as
possible. Pick away the outer soil of
the balls with a sharp pointed stick, so
that they will not require large pots.
These and all hard-woeded stock need
firm potting. It will not suffice to stand
the ball in a pot, throw in some compost,
press it down with fingers and thumbs,
smooth the surface and expect it to thrive.
The soil must be rammed in thoroughly
with a stick. The firmer you get it, the
better will the plants do. A compost con-
taining fibrous loam, plenty of leaf-mold
and a good mixture of sharp sand suits
all hard-wooded plants. It is better not
to use any manure, even if well decayed.
After potting, stand outdoors in a sun-
ny spot. Spray occasionally after giv-
ing a seaking watering, and the plants
will speedily start to establish themselves.
Do not house until frost threatens.

cool for them. There can be no ques-
tion about frames growing much better
plants than houses during the hot months.
The growth that little spring struck cut-
tings have made is really surprising and
the color is splendid. In order to keep
the foliage a good color, see that the
glass has only a light shade. If mealy
bug infests any of the plants, use a spray
nozzle on the hose and blow it off. For
fumigating, nothing equals hydrocyanic
acid gas. It is as safe as nicotine and
far more death-dealing for pests. We
have never had any foliage plants in-
jured when it is used with care, and it
certainly saves an immense amount of
sponging.

Biennials and Perennials.

The seedling pansies should now be
BuflSciently large to transplant. If you
are intending to winter them outdoors,
choose l;tnd with a good slope, where

there will be no danger of water stand-
ing. If you only grow a few hun-
dreds, it is much better to prick them
out in coldframes, leaving the sashes oflf
until the ground is frozen solid. The
same holds good of double daisies, myo-
sotis, Silene pendula and any other plants
of doubtful hardiness. Keep batches of
the earlier transplanted perennials and
biennials freely cultivated. They grow
rapidly now and their growth is all the
faster for a constant tickling of the
earth with hoe or cultivator.

Lawrence, Mass. — The employees of
Thornton Bros, were tendered a pleasant
outing at Lake Cochickewick Wednes-
day afternoon, August 19. The outing
was held at the camp owned by the hosts.
This was the second outing given by
Messrs. Thornton to their employees.
The first was held early in the summer,
at their farm in New Hampshire.

' CARNATION NOTES- WEST.

Removing the Shade.

If your plants have been on the
benches long enough to take hold in the
new soil, there should be no shade what-
ever over them from now on. During
July and August we like just a little
shade over them, to break the fierce rays
of the sun, and we think it does the
plants good. But after September 1, if
the rains have not washed the glass
clean, what is left on should be rubbed
off with a brush.

From now on the sun is hot only for
a few hours during midday, if at all, and
it will do the plants good, rather than
harm, inasmuch as it will help to ma-
ture the growth, which at this stage is
apt to come soft, on account of an abun-
dance of soluble plant food contained in
the new soil. To keep out the sun and
light will not only aggravate the soft-
ness, but it will also cause the plants to
draw up and grow spindling and weak.
The effects of such a condition will show
all through the winter in weak stems and
thin-petaled and small flowers.

During these fall months, when the sun
still has some strength and the light is
good, your whole attention should be di-
rected toward getting a sturdy, robust
and well matured growth. You must
start the winter with your plants in
that condition if you want them to hold
up through December, January and Feb-
ruary in good shape. Then is when your
good or bad judgment and the care given
during the fall assert themselves and
come to the surface.

Mulching and Watering.

The mulch you put on the beds, or
should put on soon, will keep the soil
evenly moist' with much less watering.
This will result in a more even and
steady growth. It does not necessarily
mean that you will keep the soil moister,
but merely more evenly moist. The fact
is, you can run the soil slightly drier,
because you have it under better control,

there being less danger of its getting
too dry and no necessity for flooding
the beds to prevent drying out. You
must keep close watch on it, however,
by frequent examination here and there.
You can tell nothing by the appearance
of the mulch, so you must dig into the
soil with the hand.

Watering should be confined to the
soil now, and the plants kept dry ex-
cept when you syringe them. If the
plants are clean, this syringing may
be done every second day, less or more
frequently, as may seem best to suit the
case, in your judgment.

Dead leaves and diseased leaves should

be kept picked off now, while it can
be done conveniently. Later, when your
supports are in place and the plants have
made considerable growth, it will mean
much more work and mutilation of the
plants. Picking such leaves off now may
mean freedom from disease next winter.

A. F. J. Baur.

PREPARING CARNATION SOIL.

Can a black clay soil in which good
farm crops were grown — wheat last sea-
son— be used successfully for filling the
benches for carnation growing, or would
it pay to get sod soil which is not on
the place? What is a good way to pre-
pare an acre or so of land for sod soil
for the benches, and how long should it
lie before using it? C. B.

There is no reason why you should not
use the soil you describe with fair suc-
cess. If it has been growing good farm
crops it is likely to be in good mechan-
ical condition, except that it may lack
somewhat in fertility, according to our
standard in greenhouse soil. This can
be remedied to some extent if you have
on hand some good cattle manure, about
two-thirds rotted, and also a moderate
addition of sheep manure. You can
make it so that the plants will take
hold nicely and you can add to the fer-
tility during the winter by moderate
feeding as it may be needed. For this
season, with no soil prepared, I would
certainly prefer this soil to a fresh lot
of sod soil.

Every grower knows that a good, heavy
sod, on a soil of proper texture for
the crop to be grown, and properly pre-
pared, makes the best soil obtainable.
The reasons are that soil of that kind
will be full of vegetable fiber, which
is rich in plant food. Grass is a very
non-exhaustive crop, and soil which has
been in grass for many years is likely to
contain its natural amount of each of
the plant foods, nitrogen and potash.

several seasons ahead, I think you can
do no better than to sow the bulk of it
in blue grass and red clover. Plow it
as deep as possible first and then sow
the seed broadcast. Early in Septem-
ber is a good time to do this. If you
can use the hay you can cut it next sum-
mer, which will do the grass and clover
good by making it stool more. In two
years you ought to have a good, heavy
sod, and quite rich. The clover will
gather nitrogen while the grass is filling
the soil with fiber.

In the fall you will plow as much
of it as you think you will need the
next summer and leave it rough through
the winter. During the winter a good
eoat of manure is added, which is plowed
in early in the spring. This time you
will pulverize it thoroughly with a disk
harrow. About every three or four weeks
it is to be plowed again, until it is
taken into the houses. Soil handled
in tliis way makes the finest material for
planting in that you can possibly get.
Some growers would prefer *to plow the
sod and stack it up in layers with
manure in the fall or early spring, to
be turned over several times before fill-
ing in the benches. Either plan is good,
but I think the first one the better.

Your next year's soil you must han-
dle a little differently. I would sow
on it, after a deep plowing, a mixture of
rye and clover, to be plowed under and
pulverized early in the spring. A coat
of manure can be added just before
plowing in the spring. Let the rye get
eight to ten inches high before you plow
it under, and then plow and pulverize
•very three or four weeks, as recom-
mended above. A. F. J. B.

BEST WHITE AND PINK,

Would you be so kind as to inform
me as to the best white carnation, also
the two best pink sorts, for cut flowers,
in the latitude of Ohio! G. E. H.

In white carnations the two varieties
which will be most widely grown during
the next few years are White Perfection
and White Enchantress. Both are fine
in every way and are likely to hold the
lead for some years. Our preference
runs toward White Perfection, because
the blooms bruise less easily. White En-
chantress can be more depended on to
make good plants in the field under ad-
verse conditions. I would advise you to
try both varieties.

In rose-pink you will likely do best
with Rose-pink Enchantress, but Winsor
has become very popular with many large
growers. It has the same characteristics
as Mrs. Lawson and, if these character-
istics are not objectionable to you, it may
suit you better. The blooms handle bet-
ter than Rose-pink Enchantress, as they
do not bruise so easily.

In the cerise shade of pink, Aristocrat
and Pink Imperial are both fine and each
has its followers. We prefer the latter
somewhat, because it holds its color bet-
ter and makes a better plant. In shell
pink. Enchantress stands practically alone
among the standard varieties.

You will make no mistake on any of
the foregoing varieties. All have been
tried and found true. I have not men-
tioned any of last spring's novelties, be-
cause a whole season's test is necessary
to demonstrate their worth. We expefct
an unusually large per cent of them to
make good, however, judging by present
indicatioas. A. F. J. B.

Jung's American Beauty Aster.

JUNG'S ASTERS.

"I have a new aster growing on my
seed farm here," writes J. W. Jung, of
Randolph, Wis., "which differs from all
other varieties in width and substance
of petals, some petals being almost a
half inch wide. As the color is almost
the same as the American Beauty rose,
I have decided to call it American
Beauty. It is a medium early bloomer.
The plants are strong growers, from
twenty-five to thirty inches tall, well
supplied with heavy foliage, and it is a
prolific bloomer. 1 have plants now
which are carrying from eight to twelve
flowers, each of which measures over
four inches across. The one used for
the photograph was five inches across.
The stems are twelve to eighteen inches
long. The petals are of unusually heavy
substance and will last a long time with-
out wilting.

"My strain of the Comet originally
came from Burpee, in a mixture, and
during all the time that I have had it, it
has been improved each year by selec-
tion. Unlike other strains, the plants
attain a height of twenty-four inches
and bear the blooms on stems from
eighteen to twenty-four inches long.

"These are undoubtedly two of the
finest strains of asters in cultivation, as
I have purchased aster seed from our
leading aster specialists and from Euro-
pean growers, but have as yet found
nothing that will equal these strains."

SULPHUR WATER FOR PLANTS.

Will water from a sulphur well be
likely to do injury to plants if used for
watering? We are here, at times, rather
short of water, but have a sulphur well
available. J. K.

When natural springs are so strongly
impregnated with foreign substances as
to have a decided taste and a peculiar
operation in physical economy, they are
called mineral springs.

Under the heading of sulphur waters

are such as contain sulphureted hydro-
gen, which are distinguishable by the
peculiar, fetid smell of that gas and by
yielding a brown precipitate, with the
salts of lead or silver.

Such waters are in nowise suitable for
watering greenhouse stock and are still
more unsuitable for syringing. By ex-
posing such waters in shallow reservoirs
for twenty-four or thirty-six hours and
then drawing off the water from the sur-
face, the bad effects of the sulphureted
hydrogen would in a measure be elimi-
nated. RiBES.

EUROPEAN NOTES.

Walter Park, of Brooklyn Cottage,
Langholm, Scotland, died recently, at the
age of 86. He emigrated from Scotland
to America over sixty years ago, and as
a florist in Brooklyn, it is said, he made
a fortune in twenty years, and then re-
turned to Langholm, where for a time he
took an active part in the' public af-
fairs of the town.

A great international horticultural ex-
hibition will be held in Berlin, Ger-
many, April 2 to 13, 1909. The pre-
liminary program has just been issued.
It has been determined that the exhibits
of horticultural products shall not be
placed in ordinary rows or groups, but
an attempt will be made "to show by
small, self-contained, impressive and dec-
orative pictures what striking paintings,
views and landscapes" can result from a
harmonious combination of horticulture
and art. The schedule contains 725 com-
petitive classes, and all branches of hor-
ticulture are well represented therein. W.
Swoboda, head of the firm of J. C.
Schmidt, Berlin, is president of the coun-
cil, and O. Beyrodt, of orchid fame, is
one of the vice-presidents. All inquiries
should be addressed to the General Sec-
retary's Office, Invalidenstrasse, 42, Ber-
lin, N. 4, Germany. Bee.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The cut flower market is still flooded,
but improvement in quality is marked,
and with the cooler weather retail New
York will soon begin to feel the rising
of the business tide. I anticipate a
good winter.

Beauty, Bride, Maid and Killarney are
improving every day, and some of the
specials are quite up to the best fall
average. The short stems and small buds
bring but little, often as low as 25 cents
per hundred. The growers recognize the
necessity of this, however, and look upon
any returns from the inferior grades of
the first crop as so much saved. As one
of them at Chatham told me last week,
"They cost us nothing for coal these
days and what we get out of them, over
cost of sending to market, is velvet,"

Carnations begin to look natural, En-
chantress especially, and longer stems
and larger heads are evident. A few
novelties are also arriving.

There has been no frost, and the out-
door supply is beyond all computation.
Hydrangea is especially perfect and abun-
dant, and of grand asters and gladioli
there seems to be no end; $1.50 is top
for gladioli and $3 for asters. From
these prices down to 25 cents per hun-
dred is a mighty fall, biit they make it.

There will be some violets soon, but
it would be better to wait; premature
shipments give the season a bad start.

Notes From Jersey.

Emil Savoy, of Secaucus, is an expert
fern grower and stands by the old Bos-
ton as his most profitable variety. He
has installed a new Johnston boiler.

Mr, Baldwin, of Secaucus, is making
a business trip in New England. Mr.
Carrillo is holding the fort in his ab-
sence, and preparing for his annual trip
to Columbia for a six months' collect-
ing tour. The cut orchids from this
house are sold by James McManus.

One of the prettiest sights at Secaucus
on the trolley route to Rutherford, N. J.,
is O. V. Zangen's two acres of Salvia
Zurich and Fireball compacta, a veri-
table lake of fire. Some of the plants
are three to four feet in diameter.

The Julius Boehrs Co. is busy, with
greenhouses and nursery. Worthy of spe-
cial notice is a grand stock of the silver
spruce. The display of immense bay
trees in avenues in the decorative ap-
proach to this establishment is striking;
among them are some of the largest
specimens ever imported. The houses are
crowded with palms, ferns, etc. Forty
houses are devoted to orchids. In a few
weeks there will be an abundance of
bloom. The whole plant gives evidence
of faith in the future.

L. C. Bobbink, of Bobbink & Atkins,
is still in Europe. F. L. Atkins says
this has been their busiest and best sea-
son,

William G. Badgley, of Chatham, is a
busy man, with his two big ranges, his
own and the Rand greenhouses, his rub-
ber hose, his fertilizer company, and
his plant oil industry, and he seems to
be making a success of all of them.
Bride, Maid and Killarney occupy 40,000
square feet, and he can grow them and
win prizes. Robert Phlubert is his fore-
man and A. J. Guttman is at the sell-
ing end in New York.

The Review has often advocated the
beautifying of the country florist 's home.
If you ever go to Chatham, call at David

Falconer's and see his cozy nook, as he
calls it, with its vine-clad porches, its well
arranged flower beds, its four acres and
30,000 square feet of glass devoted to
Bride and Maid, which J. K, Allen has
been selling these many years. All the
houses are modern. Gradually, cement
benches are being installed. One house,
34x175, was erected last year at a cost
of $8,000. The whole thing is an in-
spiration. Every florist, on a smaller
or larger scale, can develop just such
a place.

Right near is the veteran, Frank L.
Moore. At the base of the hill on which
Mr. Moore's big house is built stretches
out a wonderful vista of twenty miles
of hill and dale. This is the home of
Bridesmaid, you remember; the original
plant was discovered here sixteen years
ago. The parent plant is still here and
yielding its share of flowers. Twenty-
five thousand square feet are devoted to
Richmond, Liberty, Maid and Bride, and
orchids, a new departure that promises
well. Harry Stollery is in charge and

has 500 Bonnaffon chrysanthemums which
he intends to use as prize-winners at
the Madison show, he says. The rest he
expects to sell at Moore, Hentz & Nash's
commission headquarters at 50 cents
apiece. He did it before, and Mr. Stol-
lery says they are better than ever this
year.

The Chatham Rose Co. has eight houses
devoted to Richmond, Maid and Bride in
equal quantities. William Fitzpatrick,
formerly with A. J. Guttman, of Sum-
mit, is in charge.

Ernest Lawyer, formerly with L. M.
Noe, has the two places formerly owned

a neighbor of Mr. Badgley 's. Mr. Noe
is on the shelf at present with an injured
knee cap.

Various Notes.

Frank H. Traendly welcomed a son
into his family September 9 and is busy
receiving congratulations.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Plant Growers' Association was held on
the evening of September 1 at the St.
Denis hotel. New York.

The Yokohama Nursery Co., in refer-
ring to the calla lily stock it is importing,
says that the bulbs are entirely free
from disease. The last year before ship-
ment they are grown in loam. Because
of the long shipment, a decrease in size
is noticeable, but the bulbs are sounder
thereby.

The New York and New Jersey Asso-
ciation of Plant Growers gives its clam
bake Tuesday, September 15, at Duer's,
Whitestone pavilion. Secretary Siebrecht
says the committee has arranged for
prize bowling for ladies and gentlemen,
prize shooting, dancing and many other
sports and will make this the most pleas-
ant day ever passed by this or any other
association connected with the trade.
That is going some. The price of tick-
ets is $3.50. The affair is of a family
character and the attendance is by in-
vitation. The special train will leave
the Long Island depot at Long Island
City at 10:33 a. m. This organization
is a strong one and now includes nearly
every plapt grower of prominence in
this section.

Do not forget Monday, September 14
— next Monday — the first meeting of the
New York Florists' Club for the sea-
son, and an important night, with its con-
vention reminiscences, its plans for future
growth, and its lecture by Benjamin
Hammond, of Fishkill, on "School Gar-
dens." If you are a member of the
club, you should be there, and if you
are not a member, you ought to be.

The Greater New York Florists' Asso-
ciation has opened its new store at 162
Livingston street, Brooklyn, with George
W. ilrawbuck as manager. The associa-
tion occupies the whole building, with
offices on the second floor. Mr. Craw-
buck says the venture has been a suc-
cess from the start and the business is
growing every day. The location is an
excellent one and Brooklyn now rejoices
in three wholesale centers.

Millang Bros, have disposed of the mir-
rors and other retail luxuries left in their
store by the former tenant, and now have
an orthodox, practical wholesale store,
as convenient and roomy as any in the
block.

The blinds are down and the doors
locked at 39 West Twenty-eighth street,
where Frank S. Hicks held forth.

The auction season opens at Elliott's,
42 Vesey street, Tuesday, September 22,
with a lot of decorative plants from local
growers and two carloads of palms from
the Biltmore Nursery Co.

Warren Feller, of Rhinebeck, J. K.
Allen's grower, is a violet shipper and
does not grow orchids as stated last
week.

Nathan M. Neff, formerly in business
at Philadelphia, and later with W. H.
Donohoe up to the bankruptcy episode,
is now with M. A. Bowe.

Henry Fitzroy, formerly gardener for
Bo^s Tweed, the Tammany chieftain, died
at Stamford, Conn., September 4, at
the age of 81 years.

The violet market loses one of its vet-
erans in George T. Schuneman, of Bald-
win, L. I. Mr. Schuneman is developing
a nursery business, making privet his
specialty, and cosmos and peonies, in-
stead of carnations and violets.

Following in the footsteps of Thomas
Young, Jr., and of Fleischman in closing
the store at Fifth avenue and Forty-
third street, Thorley has closed his

HENRY C. OSTERTAG.

Henry C. Ostertag is head of the well
known firm of Ostertag Bros., in the
florists' business for many years in St.
Louis, and classed with the largest firms
in that city. Mr. Ostertag has a happy
faculty of making friends wherever he
goes. His hustling qualities caused his
election as a three-year trustee of the
3t. Louis Florists' Club, and he says he
will use all his spare time to promote
the interests of the club and keep it right
at the top, where it has been for the
last twenty-one years. J. J. B.

BOSTON.

The Market

A trifling improvement is noticeable
in cut flower conditions. There is still
an abundance of stock arriving, but it is
moving a little better. Carnations are
more plentiful, but sell quite well. Boses
are improving in quality with the cooler
weather and their numbers are appre-
ciably reduced. Sweet peas continue to
come in, but are now of poor quality.
Dahlias are seen on several stands, but
are not in much demand. They might be
much more used in design work with ad-
vantage. Asters are still abundant, with
little variation in price. Gladioli con-
tinue poor sellers; even fine white spikes
bring low prices. Lilium speciosum album
and roseum from outdoors are now plenti-
ful, but the flowers are inferior to those
produced under glass. Of longiflorum
there is a fair supply. For lily of the
valley demand is a little better, due to a
crop of September weddings. While
there have been light frosts in some
places, these have not seriously affected
the outdoor flowers. Among these latter
some cosmos is seen, a reminder of fall,
and tuberoses, always a rather slow sell-
ing flower. Plant growers report a little
better inquiry for palms and other foliage
subjects.

Qub Fieli Day.

Magnificent weather favored the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club members for
their field day to the New England Nurs-
«ries, Bedford, September 5. About
seventy-five journeyed by special car
from Arlington Heights, arriving in Bed-
ford about 2:30. Some others made the
trip by steam cars, nearly 100 being pres-
ent in all. On arrival of the special car
the herbaceous perennial section was first
inspected. Over ten acres are closely
planted with these flowers in about 1,000

species and varieties. The perennial
phloxes were somewhat on the wane,
owing to the forward season, but at-
tracted niuph favorable attention. Many
of the visitors took note of the seedlings,
one named Annie Cook, of a beautiful
pink shade with a perfect truss, being
admired by all. Other late flowering
hardy plants, such as liatris, rudbeckias
boltonias, heleniums, chrysanthemums,
helianthus, physotegia and others, made
a good showing.

The big blocks of evergreens next
claimed attention. These are a leading
specialty \vith the New England Nurs-
eries. Abies concolor six to ten feet high,
of perfect form and color, were specially
good, also Abies pungens Kosteriana,
Abies balsamea, Picea alba, Pinus Stro-
bus and many others. The large acreage
of deciduous trees and shrubs looked well
and had stood the early summer drought
well, thanks to persistent cultivation. The
new storage warehouse, constructed of
stone, and the largest of its kind in New
England, was much admired, also the
new greenhouses erected for propagating
purposes. TJi^ nursery has exceptional
shipping fa/^lities. due to the fact that
the Bostop & Maine railroad passes
through tne nurseries, all freight being
loaded dirjectly on the cars without any
hauling, yleanliness was noticeable in
every parti of the 200 acres of stock,
weeds being\allowed no quarter.

After the tour of inspection lunch was
served on the lawn, speeches made and
the return journey made to Boston, which
was reached about 6:30, all voting the
outing a most pleasurable and instructive
one.

A. E. Robinson, for fourteen years with

the W. & T. Smith Co., Geneva, N. Y.,
with which the New England Nurseries
are connected, who is manager at Bed-
ford, and John Kirkegaaru, sales man-
ager, showed the visitors every courtesy.
Although it is only eighteen months that
liave elapsed since the new company, of
which "W. T. Smith is president and A. E.
Robinson treasurer, took control, the
nurseries have been transformed and
promise to be in the near future among
the lea<lers in the United States.

Various Notes.

(;. E. Baldwin, of Carrillo & Baldwin,
was a visitor last week. He reported ex-
cellent business at the Niagara conven-
tion and in Canada. In the latter coun-
try he found a growing interest in or-
chids.

George W. Butterworth is home from
his European trip and saw many fine
sights in Great Britain and Holland, some
of which he hopes to tell the club about
at a future meeting.

The many friends of Emil Johansson,
lor a number of years in charge of J. E.
Rothwell's noted orchid collection, and
formerly at Lincoln park, Chicago, were
saddened to hear that he was removed to
Danvers Insane Asylum last week and
hope that his confinement there will b«
but temporary.

A. Leuthy arrived home September 1
per S. S. La Gascoyne from Havre after
a rough passage. He reports large siz<
kentias as scarce in Europe. At his Ros
lindale establishment the stock of palms
araucarias, ficus, asparagus, etc., is look
ing well and there is an improving de
mapd for plants.

posed 6f his well-known collection of or-
chids in its entirety to E. B. Dane, of
Chestnut Hill. This big addition will
make Mr. Dane's collection the finest in
America, beyond question.

The sympathy of many friends goes
out to T. D. Hatfield, supeirintendent of
the well-known Hunnewell estate in Wel-
lesley, in the death of his wife last week,
after a brief illness.

A tour of the Boston park system last
week was of particular interest, owing to
the wealth of fruit on many of the trees
and shrubs. The Crataegus are simply
magnificent, while many of the viburnums
and pyrus were fine. Viburnuip Opulus
and V. cassinoides were specially good.
Sorbus nigra, chokeberry, was heavily
fruited. Buddleia variabilis, one of
Veitch's introductions from western
China, with long racemes of fragrant,
lilac-colored flowers, was attractive.

There was a big show of children's
exhibits from both home and school gar-
dens at Horticultural hall September 5
and 6, which filled the main exhibition
hall to overflowing. The large attend-
ance of the public continues to attest the
popularity of these weekly shows.

The general autumn plant show at
Horticultural hall occurs September 11 to
13. In cut flowers, dahlias will be the
feature and a big show of these is as-
sured. There are also numerous classes
for fruits and vegetables.

Remember the club meeting September
15. Several members have promised to
give vacation experiences in Europe, Ni-
agara Falls and elsewhere. There will be
some interesting exhibits and a rousing
attendance is certain.

A.. H. Hews & Co. are having a good
fall demand for flower pots and pans and
are being kept busy at present at their
big North Cambridge plant.

A new Japanese garden is an interest-
ing feature on the Larz Anderson estate
in Brookline. In the greenhouses the

better. All stock has made a remarkable
growth.

Mrs. E. M. Wood, widow of E. M.
Wood, at one time president of the S.
A. F. and proprietor of the well-known
Waban Conservatories, presided over by
Alex. Montgomery, died September 3,
after a short illness.

The accidental death of J. D. Gal-
vin is reported in this week's obituary
column.

Welch Bros, are receiving some fine
blooms of the new rose, . My Maryland,
from S. J. Reuter, of Westerly, E. I.

Secretary Fuld anticipates the finest

the New England Dahlia Society will hold
its first exhibition in Tremont temple,

BOATING ON THE MISSISSIPPI.

The accompanying illustration is from
a snapshot taken of the motor-boat Del-
mar, owned by Ed Kalisch, of the Ka-

The launch is of twenty horse-power and
two weeks were consumed in the trip.

DETROIT.

The Market

All summer along it has been asters
and roses, and vice versa, but before long
carnations will again be in the swim.
Some good stock is already arriving.
Good White Enchantress were seen last
week, also Winsor and Eose-pink En-
chantress. The commission houses have
been loaded down all week with asters
of only fair quality. Good stock has
been readily sold at good prices.

Just for variety, B. Schroeter had some

roses, carnations, mums, Lorraine bego-
nias and other crops are looking well.
Some extra fine Dendrobium Phalsenopsis
were in flower, while Mr. Finlayson has
as usual an excellent batch of calanthes.
The Bay State Nurseries are having a
good fall demand for trees and shrubs.
Their extensive nurseries never looked

fine yellow mums in his window last week,
but the demand is lacking.

Many weddings are announced for the
latter part of the month, and for Octo-
ber, so some work is in view.

Qub Meetin£.
What might be termed the first meet-

ing of the season was held September 2.
President Brown has his plans pretty
well laid out for the coming year and,
after making a few remarks about some
of the evils in the local retail trade which
he hopes to stamp out, he got right down
to business. Anyone having anything
special to say or to sell is requested to
write same on the blackboard, where it
will be seen by all. Mr. Brown also
thought it would be desirable if each
member were provided with the club's
membership list in printed form.

Vice-president M. Bloy addressed the
club. The name of J. A. Bissinger, who
recently expressed a desire to join the
Detroit boys, was received for member-
ship and will be acted upon at the next
meeting.

Some time was given over to conven-
tion talk. Among the members who spoke
were Wm. Dilger, A. Pochelon, Charles
Plumb, E. A. Scribner and W. B. Browne.
S. S. Skidelsky, who was present, also
spoke. Albert Pochelon was thanked for
the satisfactory manner in which he han-
dled the transportation affairs. J. F.
Sullivan gave a short talk about the Wm,
Scott memorial. This idea met with the
approval of all. It was voted that the
club's by-laws be changed so as to ex-
empt the secretary and treasurer from
dues. Committees appointed by the new
president were as follows: Auditing com-
mittee, Albert Pochelon, Albert Sylves-
ter and Hugo Schroeter; essay commit-
tee, J. F. Sullivan, Wm. Dilger and C. H.
Maynard; entertainment and exhibition
committee, George E. Browne, M. Bloy,
Eobert Eahaley, Fred Miesel, Chas. Plumb
and August Von Boeselager.

Michigan State Fair.

This is the fourth year of the Michi-
gan State Fair on the permanent grounds
just north of the Detroit city limits.
Upon alighting from the car the visitor
is confronted by a large display of all
kinds of snmbbery, artistically arranged.
These are the exhibits of various nursery-
men. This year they comprise the ex-
hibits of Greening Bros., Ilgenfritz &
Sons Co., E. Ferrand & Son and W. W.
Essex. Flower beds are the exhibits of
local florists.

Competition in the horticultural de-
partment is not keen this year. Not that
the florists are not interested in the fair,
but those who have tried have found it
does not pay to make extensive exhibits.
The park board of Detroit has made a
large exhibit of plants this year, and the
plants, being of such a variety as no
commercial house would have, are attract-
ing much attention. Eobert Unger, of
Belle Isle park, judged the plant exhibits,
while Frank Holznagle was judge of the
flower exhibits.

Prizes were awarded as follows:

Best design In cut flowers, Pontlac Floral Co.
first, with an arch with open book; Frank Holz-
nagle second, with a wreath; Detroit Floral Co.
third, with a lyre; Mrs. F. Uush fourth, with a
cross.

Pontlac Floral Co. first for twenty-fire pink
roses, for twenty-flve red roses, and for assort-
ment carnations.

Frank Holznagle first for assortment of roses,
Pontlac Floral Co. second.

Plants were shown by Thomas G'owanlock and
Mrs. Fred Rush.

Flower beds were planted on the grounds by
Detroit Floral Co., as follows: Two beds cannas,
bed salvia, bed coleus and snapdragon, two beds
asters, bed Nutt geranium; by Vangban's Seed
Store, Chicago, about five beds and borders of
Gladiolus Mrs. Francis King; by I. E^ Ilgen-
fritz Son's Co., several beds of cannas.

Various Notes.

For several years David Beyer, gar-
dener at Grosse Pointe, has been experi-
menting with grafting tomatoes on the
egg plant, being finally successful. He
now has a good stock of a tomato known

as Booaevelt, so named two years ago
when the first fruits were sent to the
White House and pronounced by the pres-
ident as being the best flavored he ever
ate. The tomatoes attain a large size,
averaging over one pound, ^nd some
reaching two and one-quarter pounds. A
plant will bear about sixty to seventy
pounds of fruit. The seeds are distrib-
uted as in the egg plant, and while the
tomato is juicy, the juice is so divided
that it is retained in the fruit upon cut-
ting same open.

The Baker- Vawter people recently in-
stalled their loose leaf book-keeping sys-
tem at Schroeter's. It is no trouble now
to get statements out on the first day of
the month.

S; S. Skidelsky spent several days in
Detroit. He is well satisfied with the
outlook for the winter.

After the last regular meeting of the
Detroit Florists' Club, a special meeting
was called. At this meeting the club
heartily indorsed Philip Breitmeyer for
mayor on the Republican ticket. H. S.

OBITUARY.

Robert H. Valker.

Robert Henry Walker, one of the old-
est residents of South Scituate, E. I.,
died at his home August 22, after nearly
a year's illness. He was born in Scituate
September 12, 1837, and at the age of
21 he went to Newport, where he became
a florist and he continued in that busi-
ness for many years after he returned
to his native town. He held several
offices in the town and was prominent
among the Odd Fellows, American Me-
chanics and Knights of Maccabees. Four
years ago Mr. Walker sustained injuries
by being thrown from a carriage in a
runaway. It is believed that the in-
juries received at that time hastened his
death.

Joseph D. Galvin.

Joseph Dalvea Galvin, of Boston, a
brother of Thomas F. Galvin, of that
city, was instantly killed on the even-
ing of September 8 in a runaway acci-
dent at Mount Bowdoin station, Dor-
chester, his horse being frightened by a
train.

Mr. Galvin was 55 years of age and a
member of the Thomas F. Galvin corpo-
ration. He was in charge of the Boyles-
ton street store and was well known
and esteemed in the trade. Some years
of his life had been spent in the ranch-
ing business in Mexico, and be was a
noted Spanish scholar. He never had
married.

KIRKVOOD, MO.

Among the Growers.

Your correspondent, in company with
W. J. Pilcher, made the rounds of some
of the growers in Kirkwood, Septem-
ber 10. We found them all busy, hous-
ing their carnations and violets and fin-
ishing the general repairs for winter.
There will be quite an increase in carna-
tions, violets and sweet peas the coming
season, as some of them have built addi-
tions to their plants this summer. Many
have discarded old sorts and are growing
more of the best commercial varieties.
The violet crop looks better than for sev-
eral seasons. Many more sweet peas will
be grown.

The first place visited was that of Hugo
Gross, where there is a splendid range of
25,000 feet of glass. Mr. Gross was busy

These Are the Little Liners That Do the Business

filling up his solid beds with carnations
and violets. He will grow Enchantress,
Boston Market, White Enchantress and
Bountiful, one large house of sweet peas
and two of violets. Mr. Gross will soon
have much assistance from his son,
Henry. Though only five years old, he
was wheeling in soil in a small barrow
made especially for him.

The next visit was at Frank Venne-
mann's, whore there is 10,060 feet of
glass. Mr. Venneniann was not at home,
but his nephew, Ben, who is deaf and
dumb, showed ua through — by hand
language, with which Mr. Pilcher is fa-
miliar. They are growing mostly En-
chantress, Rose-pink Enchantress, Boston
Market, Sarah Hill and Crusader. They
use the Heim carnation support. Violets
and sweet peas are also grown here.

At A. P. Scheidegger 's place we found
Albert, like the others, busy filling up his
houses, which comprise 7,000 feet of
glass. He grows a nice lot of carnations,
violets and sweet peas. Boston Market
and Enchantress are his best.

The next stop was at the plant of Fred
W. Ude, Jr., where we found everything
in readiness for the winter season. This
place contains 16,000 feet of glass. The
carnation plants are of the finest. Mr.
Ude savs Nelson Fisher is his best, fol-

lowed by Red Fisher, Rose-pink Enchant-
ress, Enchantress and Boston Market.
Violet plants, too, are looking well. This
is one of the best kept places in Kirk-
wood, as well as one of the oldest. Mr.
Ude's two sons are a great help to him.

At George Hartman's place they were
planting 5,000 violets, also a fine lot of
carnations, mostly Enchantress, Rose-pink
Enchantress and Boston Market. This
place consists of 10,000 feet of glass and
is well kept. His brother's place, next
door, is made up of 4,000 feet of glass.
August Hartman grows carnations, violets
and sweet peas. All the above places
grow their stock in solid benches.

At W. J. Pilcher 's there are two of
the largest and highest houses in Kirk-
wood. Mr. Pilcher is still cutting a fine
lot of carnations from his old plants. He
has also a fine house of violets. This is
a new place and Mr. Pilcher will add each
summer a house or two. They also work
about ten acres of ground and are har-
vesting 500 bushels of onions.

There are many other fine places in
Kirkwood, but the hour was late and we
will have to leave them for the next visit.
All the stock that is grown at these places
is handled by the St. Louis wholesalers,
Messrs. Smith, Berning, Kuehn and An-
germueller. .1. J. Bkneke.

STATE FLOWER SHOW.

The Illinois State Fair opens Septem-
ber 25 and closes October 2, The Board
of Agriculture has made ample provision
for a handsome display of plants and
flowers by an appropriation of $2,500 for
premiums. More than 100,000 people a
day visit this department during the fair
season. It seems to us that this is a
splendid opportunity for the florists to
display their stock to the agricultural
classes, who have taste for this class of
refinement and money to gratify their
tastes, as well as to the people of the
towns outside of Chicago. More people _
see the flower exhibit at the fair in a day
than at the annu^ flower show in the
Coliseum in the whoje season, yet grow-
ers heretofore have spent thousands of
dollars exhibiting at the Coliseum to the
hundreds spent at the State Fair. It
would seem to us that the country out-
side of Chicago, which needs the infor-
mation most, is a good field to exhibit to.
"We hope the growers will turn out in
a manner worthy of their vocation this
year. "Write to J. K. Dickirson, secre-
tary, Springfield, immediately for pre-
mium list, if you have not done so al-
ready. All entries will positively close
Wednesday, September 23. Make your
entries with the secretary in time.

Notice of Error in Awards.

The notice of withdrawal of the award

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

Chairman W. F. Kasting announces
the appointment of A. T. De La Mare
and Edgar F. Winterson to fill va-
cancies on the committee of fifty caused
by the death of Alexander Wallace and
William Scott.

The executive committee, at its meet-
ing at the Cataract house, Niagara Falls,
August 20, approved of a call for an
additional assessment of thirty per cent
of the sums guaranteed, for which notices
will be sent to guarantors at once. An
appropriation for the advertising of the
show was made upon an estimate sub-
mitted by Chairman George Asmus. Rule
1 was amended to require an entry fee of
$1 for each entry in all classes where
the first prize is $5 br more, except in
the private gardeners' classes and ex-
cept for foreign exhibitors. Those ex-
cused from an entry fee will be charged
a $2 fine for failure to stage an entry.
Rule 3 was amended to make 11 a. m.
the last hour for staging plants and 12
m. for cut flowers.

On motion of S. S. Skidelsky, it was
decided that trade tickets should be is-
sued at a reduced rate and sold under
restrictions imposed by the local man-
agement committee. Chairman Koenig,
of the special features committee, re-
ported and was requested to continue his
good work in trying to provide drawing
attractions for the show, an appropria-
tion being made for his expenses.

On motion of W. N. Rudd, it was de-
cided to allow no salary or expense ac-
count to judges at the national flower
show, and that judges be appointed by
the following: For Division A, Chrysan-
themum Society of America; Division B,
American Rose Society; Division C,
American Carnation Society; Division D,
New York Florists' Club; Division E,
Illinois State Florists' Association; Di-
vision F, Horticultural Society of Chi-
cago; Division G, Chicago Florists' Club,
each of these societies to nominate three
judges. J. H. Burdett, Sec'y.

CMCAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The reopening of the public schools
is sometimes spoken of as marking the
date for a revival of business, and in
most places schools opened this year one
week later than usual, because Labor
day fell September 7. But not much is
expected of early September in this mar-
ket and last week saw only fair business,
while the current week opened quiet. The
city trade still is light, but shipping
business is active, as it has been, com-
paratively speaking, all summer; only
orders are small. The difficulty at pres-
ent is that the quality of much of the
stock is not up to shipping requirements.
Asters are decidedly poor, the majority
of them, and many are simply unsalable
at a time that the demand for good
asters cannot be wholly satisfied. Roses,
too, are nothing to brag about, but with
a little more good weather will be all
right, for there has been considerable im-
provement since last report.

The Beauty rose has become the most

abundant item on the list and there is
nothing which is of such general good
quality. It seems that all the large
growers are coming into crop with Beau-
ty and it looks as though this would
be the time for the buyers to get the
public into the habit of using this rose.
There should be steadily increasing sup-
plies for some weeks and prices already
are low, considering the quality of the
goods, which is excellent. Killarney also
is in fair shape, but not so much more
abundant than other sorts as it was a
short time ago. Bride and Maid are in-
creasing in supply and improving in qual-
ity. Other roses are not greatly in evi-
dence.

The dahlia has become one of the
wholesalers' puzzles. Not many buyers
will use this flower and when the re-
ceipts are at all heavy it accumulates
and goes to waste. Gladioli continue to
be the greatest glut, unless the worst one
is of poor asters, and it is only America
that sells at all well. Valley is in fair
demand and there is some call for Easter
lilies, as auratum and other outdoor lilies
are about over.

Now and then some white chrysanthe-
mums are seen and yellows are to be had
for advance orders.

There is a better call for green goods,
for^ the department stores are having
their annual openings, or preparing for
them.

Coatsworth's Fire.

A telegram called L. Coatsworth to
New Castle, September 3, fire having
destroyed the upper part of the boiler
house. He found that about 100 feet
each way on the north greenhouse also
had been on fire and the rose plants
in that house had suffered. The boilers
had not been damaged, but the piping
was injured and valves destroyed, making
in all a loss close to $5,000, the amount
of the insurance. Quick repairs were
made on the damaged greenhouse and
this week the heating plant will be in
shape again. Mr. Coatsworth was at
home over Sunday.

Milwaukee were advanced September 1
about 10 cents per hundred pounds; that
is, where the rate was 40 cents it was
made 50 cents, where 50 cents it became
60 cents. The advance is equal to twen-
ty to twenty-five per cent and it hits
a great many growers, who also are
paying highly for the return of empties.
The advance applies to all shipments that
take the general merchandise rate.

It has been reported that an advance
has been made in the rate on ferns from
Massachusetts, but C. L. Chase, assistant
to the general agent for the American,
says the old special rate of $1.75 per
100 pounds is still in force and that
special rates also are being granted from
Michigan shipping points.

Luzemburgers Award Prizes.

There was a flower show in connection
with the Luxemburger Sehobermess at
Evert 's grove September 6 and 7. There
was an enormous attendance and quite
a few exhibits. The judges were John
Zech, Sam Pearce and John Michaelson,
the latter of Amling's.

Wietor Bros, exhibited Killarney,
Richmond, Kaiserin, Beauty, Kate Moul-
ton. Uncle John, Chatenay and Mrs. Jar-
dine roses and staged some good carna-
tions. They were given a first prize for
carnations, for Beauty, for white and for
pink roses, second for Killarney and
Richmond.

Adam Zender exhibited Maid, Bride,
Eallarney and Richmond. He was first
for Richmond and Killarney and second
for white and pink roses.

Sinner Bros, staged asters and were
awarded first prize.

Fischer Bros., Evanston, were first of
three for decorative plants, and F. C,
Fischer for hardy plants.

Peter Reinberg exhibited Mrs. Field,
Beauty, Killarney and Richmond, not
for competition.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its first meet-
ing of the season at the Union hotel
September .3, with a good attendance.
An accounting was made for the San
Francisco relief fund, by which it ap-
peared that the Pacific Coast Horticul-
tural Association had expended only
$74.50 of the amount, $75.50 being re-
turned to the Chicago club with the re-
ceipts for disbursements. The club still
had $173 in the fund, which had never
been forwarded to San Francisco. There
is, therefore, a large percentage of re-
fund for the contributors. The secre-
tary was instructed to send each con-
tributor a statement of the standing of
the fund and will intimate that if the
contributors wish to turn their share of
the rebate into tho club's treasury, it
will be put to good use. A number have
already directed that this disposal be
made of their share.

The picnic committee reported total
receipts of $549.85 and a profit of $179.47
from the recent outing, witli about $30
worth of tickets still unaccounted for.
The rose show committee confessed to the
expenditure of $692.18, of which the
club paid $130 after private subscription
had made up a congljierable sum. The
financial succes.s or the show was not at
all what had been anticipated.

August Poehlmann was designated as
chairman of the club's committee on
entertainment for the national flower
show, with authority to choose his own
committee and to appoint sub-commit-
tees. An outline of the plans of the
committee is requested at the next meet-
ing.

The club voted to condu(;t the booth
for the sale of flowers at the national
flower show, if the concession is granted.

the public by means of a good flower
show at the fair, cut flowers to be staged
September 29. Liberal premiums are of-
fered and several of the large growers
will enter.

Albert T. Hey, of Western Springs,

Refreshments were served, as usual.

Various Notes.

Each wholesaler suited his own pleasure
in the matter of closing at noon Labor
day — some did and some didn't. There
was little doing.

Percy Jones says that Wm. Dittman's

this year, half the cut going to Pittsburg

primulas and cyclamen. A busy summer
has been put in working up a larger
stock than usual.

Chairman Poehlmann has called a meet-
ing of the national flower show reception
committee and the Florists ' Club 's enter-
tainment committee for Friday evening,
September 11, at the Union restaurant
club room.

S. B. Wertheimer, of Wertheimer Bros.,
New York, has been calling on retailers.
He says that if one may judge by their
willingness to place orders for ribbon,
a good season is anticipated.

The George Wittbold Co. has invested
a good many thousands of dollars of ac-
cumulated profits this summer. At the
home place the second new house is just
being completed — a big stWcture for
show purposes along the Halsted street
side. Conarefo walks ;ind benches have

been put in throughout the place. At
Edgebrook several acres have been tiled
and the nursery stock replanted in blocks.
Much work also has been done in the
houses and the boys believe they are now
in shape to give undivided attention for
some years to the growing of good stock.
Fall shipping is said to have opened con-
siderably ahead of last year, but the re-
tail end has shown a falling off the last
two months, compared to the business a
year ago.

E. C. Amling says that the Albert
Amling Co., at Maywood, this season has
an entire house devoted to Adiantum
Farleyense, the first, so far as Mr. Am-
ling knows, to be grown in this section
for the one purpose of supplying cut
fronds for the wholesale market.

The E. F. Winterson Co. has added
two items to the list of decorative greens.

but says neither one is an instantaneous
success. These are bunch laurel and rho-
dodendron sprays. The rhododendron
does not sell at all, and the laurel but
slowly thus far. The retailers appear
too accustomed to leucothoe to care to
try any other article.

Muir's reports a season of intermit-
tent good business, an occasional run of
funeral work or a summer wedding serv-
ing to keep things going. The Forty-
seventh street store had an especially
busy time last week. John T. Muir has
been taking his vacation a day at a
time this year.

The Bohanon Floral Co. opened its
new store September 3, at 29 Monroe
street, opposite Mangel's and only a few
steps from H. C. Kowe's. L. R. Bohanon
is the manager and has had long experi-
ence in leading stores. He has fitted up
a neat place.

The store of the Alpha Floral Co. has
been in the hands of the decorators for
the last week, getting ready for the fall
season.

Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry,
says he looks for good business this fall
— better than last season.

Charles McCauley, of Washington,
D. C, has arrived to take charge of the
Riverbank Greenhouses, at Geneva. These
are run under the name of R. C. Engle-
dew & Co., but are really the property of
a man named Fabyan, for whom Engle-
devv is secretary. It is a case of the
capitalist putting money into the florists'
business. He has had several managers
and the place is run down, but Mr. Mc-
Cauley is capable of building it up. He

brought in quite a few orders for bou-
quets and cut flowers. The weather is
still warm and it will need cooler weather
to bring better business in our line.

As to cut stock at the wholesale mar-
ket, there is plenty of everything in
season and the blooms from young stock
are beginning to look better each day.
Beauty, Bride and Maid are of much
better color and longer in stem. The
same can be said of Killarney and Rich-
mond. Carnations are still short in stem,
but of good color. There are plenty of
first-class asters in all colors, also tube-
rose stalks. Good, long smilax is again
in the market, also fine asparagus sprays
in bunches.

A visit to the greenhouses of C. Young
& Sons Co. September 6 w|is a treat.
Under the 130,000 feet of glass there ia
everything that belongs to a first-class
place of this kind. There are several fine
houses of chrysanthemums, carnations
and roses, also a fine bench of some 400
longiflorum giganteum which will soon be
in bloom. This is one of the largest es-
tablishments of its kind west of the
Mississippi river. While inspecting the
grounds the scribe found another visitor,
William C. Smith. After sampling the
good things James Young had on ice, his
j)ool room was visited and a match game
was shot, James Young and W. C. Smith
against AV. C. Young and J. J. Bcneke, in

which the latter pair were defeated. In
this way a most enjoyable afternoon was
spent.

Christ Sanders has left the employ of
W. C. Smith & Co. and has taken a posi-
tion with H. G. Berning.

Fred C. Weber, Jr., has returned from
his trip to Yellowstone park and other
points of interest in the western states.
His looks indicate that his trip was ben-
eficial to his health.

The Michel Plant & Bulb Co. on
Wednesday, September 9, held an auction
at its greenhouses in order to dispose of
a surplus of specimen ferns.

The nurserymen, Messrs. Weber, San-
ders and Schuette, will have plenty of
work on hand from now on, delivering

and planting fall orders. Frank Weber
says they are putting on an extra force
of men for packing trees.

E. W. Guy, of Belleville, visited the
different florists in Kirkwood recently
and speaks highly of their prospects for
the winter season.

The Grimm & Gorley oowling team has

chrysanthemums this fall, also plenty of
California violets and sweet peas. Their
stock is all sold to the west end stores.

The St. Louis Florists' Club will take
up at its meeting this week the advisabil-
ity of holding the club meetings every
other month at night, so as to give the
employees a chance to join and attend
the meetings, the night meetings to con-
sist of a business session, followed by a
lunch, cigars and a bowling match. Should
this be decided upon, the club should in-
crease its membership to 200 by the end
of the year. The six afternoon meetings
would also be well attended. J. J. B.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

The feature of the market this week is
the large quantity of really magnificent
asters that are coming to town. There
are more good asters here today than I
have ever seen at one time before. Un-
fortunately, there are too many to main-
tain prices, the demand not having in-
creased in proportion to the supply. It
seems probable that the height of the sea-
son has been reached and that next week
will see a decline. Poor asters are still
poor stock indeed. Gladioli are waning,
there not being nearly so many in the
market as a week ago. Dahlias are in-
creasing in quantity, and by next week
the fancy varieties will be in full swing.

Carnations are becoming a factor. The
cooler weather has increased the size and
brightened the color of the flowers, while
the stems are perceptibly longer. The
features of the rose market are some fine
Kaiserin and Eichmond. Mrs. Jardine
and My Maryland sell out much more
closely than some of the older varieties.
There are a few fine Killarney. Amer-
ican Beauties continue to lead the list.

Valley is in excellent supply; demand
only moderate. Cattleyas are increasing
slightly in number. There are enough
oncidiums and cypripediums to merit
mention. Autumn leaves have been re-
inforced by the arrival of oak; both pin
and white are in evidence. There is some
demand for greens.

The Coming Season.

Thanksgiving day is Thursday, Novem-
ber 26. Christmas and New Year's both
fall on Friday. Lent begins on Wednes-
day, February 24. Easter falls April 11.

that the street faker, who has for so long
been a prominent factor in disposing of
the surplus of cut flowers, will be ban-
ished from Market street during the com-
ing season. This belief is strengthened
by the knowledge that there have been at
least three glass case privileges leased at
excellent figures on the shopping thor-
oughfare. A number of our leading
wholesalers were asked their views on
this important question: "Will the ab-
sence of the faker from Market street
mean a serious pecuniary loss to the
grower and to the wholesaler?" The
general feeling appeared to be that it
would be a serious loss at first, because
neither the retail stores nor the proprie-
tors of the street show cases would buy
the class of stock used by the fakers. It
is hoped, however, that eventually a bet-
ter tone may be given to the business by
the .elimination of this somewhat question-
able method of doing business, the fakers
often being rather obtrusive. The grow-
ers can do something to soften this blow
by cutting down their production of low
grade stock as far as possible.

Our Credit System.

Harry Bayersdorfer, some time called
"The Merchant Prince," of this city,
favored Phil with some ideas regarding
the credit system and business in gen-
eral. Mr. Bayersdorfer believes that
every retail florist should make it a rule
to send his statements out on the first
day of each month, pressing for payment
in ninety days, when these accounts are
not honored. He says that too many of
our best florists feel that a customer
would be angered were he asked to pay

his bill, and therefore let the matter
slide, thus making it difficult for the flo-
rist to meet his obligations, and so in
turn cramping those with* whom he deals.
Mr. Bayersdorfer points out the clock-
like regularity with which all successful
firms in other lines of business send out
their statements and asks pointedly
whether, when a florist buys a hat, a box
of candy, or some fruit on credit, the
seller delays sending him a bill for fear
of giving oflfense.

When questioned regarding the busi-
ness outlook, Mr. Bayersdorfer said that
while the orders are coming in freely, he
thinks that many buyers are buying as
little as possible this fall, fearing to
overstock. The result, he believes, will
be a tremendous rush when business ac-
tually opens later in the season..

Mr. Goille's Visit.

James Guille, of the Hubert Bulb Co.,
Portsmouth, Va., boarded a sleeper on
the evening of August 31 and appeared
in this city the following day. Mr.
Guille 's visit was made to keep an en-
gagement with the Florists' Club of this
city, to talk about bulb growing in Vir-
ginia, as all readers of the Eeview will
know from last week's issue. To meet
him, many of our most representative
men were gathered in the club room the
evening of September 1. Mr. Guille has
energy, enthusiasm and a splendid confi-
dence in the ultimate success of his
work; he displayed all these qualities
to advantage in one of the liveliest de-
bates that has ever been witnessed in
the club room.

Dahlias

The most popular and serviceable Cut
Flower for the next six weeks will be
the Dahlia. Our stock is in fine condi-
tion, and we offer many new and fancy
varieties — along with the well-known
Standards, such as Kriemhilde, Lynd-
hurst, Clifford W. Bruton, Catherine
Duer, Jack Rose, and others.

Our stock of this flower is so large
that we are in a position to furnish
quantities of any one variety or shade
of color on short notice. »

two parts, one on cut flowers, the other
on bulbs. The former I consider rela-
tively unimportant. The laws of supply
and demand will always govern the pro-
duction of cut flowers. Should anyone
choose to flood this market with daffo-
dils, there is nothing to prevent, any
more than there is to prevent a dahlia
grower or a chrysanthemum grower from
doing the same thing. It will be done
as long as it is profitable and no longer.
The second part, concerning bulb grow-
ing in Virginia, is of vital interest; if
we can produce bulbs required for forc-
ing and planting outdoors in this coun-
try as well as they are grown in Hol-
land and for the same money, every-
one would far rather buy them at home
than abroad.

Mr. Guille asserts positively that Vir-
ginia is producing just as good bulbs
as are grown in Holland, and will- con-
tinue to produce them in larger and
larger quantities as the market expands.
He stuck to this point, despite adverse
opinion. The members generally ap-
peared to doubt whether it could be
done, but they one and all frankly de-
clared their willingness to be convinced.

Various Notes.

"An American Bulb for Every Amer-
ican Garden" was the keynote to one of
the most brilliant addresses ever deliv-
ered before the Florists' Club, that which
occurred at the September meeting. Who
was the author? Why, P. Joseph Lynch,
of West Grove, Pa.

J. D. Eisele, vice-president of the
Henry A. Dreer Co., writes from Holland
to a friend that the weather has been
phenomenally wet, five out of the last six
days being rainy, and adds the important
fact that the azaleas are unusually well
budded this season.

Joseph Swearer, manager, Holland, Pa.,
has commenced the erection of a green-
house 36x200 feet, concrete being an im-
portant element in the operation so far
complete.

The Central Flower Shop is the name
adopted by T. Chochos and V. Alexis,
two New York florists, who opened for
business September 7 at the southeast
comer of Twelfth and Chestnut streets.
They have leased the pavement privi-
lege from Finley Acker & Co., erecting
thereon the handsomest showcase ever
I seen on a sidowalk in thl«i citv. It is un-

derstood the lessee should carry high-
grade stock.

J. Murray Bassett, of Hammonton,
N. J., has sent out an attractive series
of picture postal cards descriptive of his
business in its various branches. Two
show groups of native orchids, another
the snowball hydrangea, H. arborescens
sterilis; another a field of dahlias in full
bloom, a leading specialty with Mr. Bas-
sett. There are others, which unfortu-
nately I am unable to name at this mo-
ment.

Vincent F. Gorley, of St. Louis, was a
visitor in this city a few days ago. Mr.
Gorley stopped to call on his way home
from Europe.

Henry F. Michell Co. has just received
the first shipment of 4,000,000 Dutch
bulbs. Their new mammoth warehouse.
Tower Hall, is rapidly rounding into
shape.

A pictorial postal card received in this
city from Samuel S. Pennock says that he
is leading the simple life at Pocono Lake,
Pa., sleeping in a tent and living in the
open.

Charles Henry Fox has returned from
Europe.

The Logan Nurseries, A. P. Irwin, have
planted 16,000 carnations, large quanti-
ties of Asparagus plumosus, some smilax
and other specialties. They will also
gro\^erns and lilies, and will force some
bul/s.

\Vfllter P. Stokes has returned from
PocoCT^ Manor, Pa., to his home at
Moorestown, N. J.

2 from an eleven weeks' trip to Europe.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Last week being state fair week, gave
the roses time to catch up to the demand,
and as a result, today there is a pretty
good crop moving in town. A couple of
days of warm weather and sunshine
brought the buds out in short order.

Quite a lot of interest was shown in
the state fair exhibits this year. There
was more competition, and a greater
number of florists went into the contest
than any year before. The members of
the horticultural society were well
pleased, and next year it is to be hoped
there will be better awards.

Easter lilies and auratum are being
shown, and were used to good advantage
in some of the work last week. A couple

ONCINNATL

The Market

A week of poor business has just
passed. The demand was erratic and at
the best was nothing to speak of. The
store men reported nothing doing and so
they bought only what they had to have.
As it happened, too, there was a large
cut of flowers coming in, and this, with
poor business, meant considerable waste.
Saturday brought a little relief. Con-
siderable funeral work had been booked
by the retail stores for Monday, and they
bought heavily. This eased up things
a little, and by Saturday evening the mar-
ket was fairly well cleaned up. Sunday,
also, brought forth a good demand and,
with several large funerals in prospect
for this week, we ought to have a good
business to make up in part for last
week.

You could get about every variety of
flower you wanted. Eoses are coming
rather strongly. The quality of the stock
is improving rapidly, too. The week
of cool weather has helped them greatly.
Beauties are in good supply. The de-
mand for them, while poor last week,
gives promise of using all that we get
this week. The increased supply dropped
the price somewhat, but it averaged fair
even then. Carnations are coming in
larger quantities, but the quality is still
poor and they do not keep well. The

MILWAUKEE,

The Market.

Considering that business during the
summer months of July and August is
expected to be rather quiet, everything
so far was satisfactory, but the last
week, especially from the wholesalers'
standpoint, was ' ' rotten, ' ' so they claim.
Beginning on Monday, all kinds of stock
of really good quality arrived in quan-
tity and, as there were no sales, it was
consigned to the dump next morning, to
make room for that day's shipments.
Bight along, good asters were scarce and
carnations in demand, and now, when
there is plenty of good stock, it simply
can not be moved. Just now, also, is
the time when the retailers with some
glass can easily fill their orders with
home-grown stock, thereby steering clear
of the wholesale man.

Club Picnic

With favorable weather, a good at-
tendance and fine arrangements, the Flo-
rists* Club's picnic, held Sunday, Sep-
tember 6, was a great success in every
respect. The first number on the pro-
gram was the baseball game between the
Ourrie and the Holton & Hunkel teams.
The score was 16 to 14 in favor of the
last named. After the ball game there
were doings for young and old. The
pjost interesting and exciting events were
the nail driving contests for ladies, and
the sack race for men. The results were
as follows:

One-bundred-yaid dash tor men — Roy Currie.
first prize, a shaving mug; C. Wolf, second
prize, a cigar stand.

One-hundred-yard dash for boys, 12 to 18
years — Alb. Brettin, first prize, military
brashes; C. Retzlaff. second prize, a knife.

Seventy-flve-yard dash for boys under 12
years— D. Wolf, first prize, a printing press;
L. PoUworth, second prize, a deck ring game.

Sack race — C. Wolf, first prize, a pipe; Emll
Equltz, second prize, a knife.

Nail driving contest for ladles — Gertrude Som-
mers, first prize, a comb and brush; Minnie
George, second prize, a vase.

Seventy-flve-yard dash for ladies — Minnie
George, first prize, a mirror; Paula Hunkel,
second prize, a fancy plate.

Seventy-flve-yard dash for girls, 12 to 18
years — Lora Valora, first prize, a music roll;
Blla Holtz. second prize, a post card album.

Fifty-yard dash for girls under 12 years^
Gretchen Baumgarten, first prize, an inkstand;
Mabel Tbwartes, second prize, a sewing box.

Much credit is due Gustav Eusch, of
the entertainment committee, for the
hustling he did at the picnic.

Various Notes.

The club meeting September 3 brought
out the regulars. A letter from the sec-
retary of the National Chrysanthemum
Society, asking for information in regard
to the affiliation of the local club with
that society, was to hand, but no definite
action was taken, and it was voted to
lay the matter over to the next meet-
ing— too muf'h picnic spirit prevailed.

Seed Trade News.

AHEBICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., Watson 8. Woodruff, Orange, Conn.;
First Vice-pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.;
Sec'y and Treas., 0. E. Kendel, Cleveland.

Hjalmar Habtmann, the Copenhagen
seed grower, is now in Paris.

The New York seedsmen are busy —
exhibiting at or attending the numerous
Long Island agricultural fairs.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has imported from Holland fifty-
two cases of Dutch buibs f»r use in its
bulb-growing experiments.

The first considerable shipment of
Dutch bulbs last season was received at
New York September 3. They were ten
days earlier this year.

It is said that ' ' variety is the spice of
life." You can get it in the reports on
western sweet corn; one says too cold,
another too dry ; yet a third, weather fine
and crops progressing rapidly.

TritOTHY seed was steady at Chicago
at the opening of the week. September 8
the September delivery closed at $3.55
bid and $3.65 asked, and October $3.40
bid and $3.55 asked. Country lots, $2.85
to $3.50. Clover seed was easy at $9.60
for October and $8.50 to $9.60 for cash
lots.

The H^ry Field Seed Co., of Shen-
andoah, la,, has purchased the wholesale
bulb business of O. B. Stevens, of the
same place, and will add it to their own
large bulb business. The sale includes
the growing stock, amounting to about
35,000 dahlias, about 40,000 cannas,
4,000 German iris and 50,000 perennial
phlox. The combining of these two firms
of bulb growers and their collections
will make a very strong bulb business in
Shenandoah.

NiMMO & Blair, seed merchants of
Dunedin, New Zealand, are buyers of
American seeds, but sell little in this
country; still the conditions that they
meet in New Zealand are in some re-
spects 80 similar to those in this country
that they have adopted the Seed Trade
Association's, non-warranty, and it is
stated on alt letter-heads and printed
matter that "Nimmo & Blair give no
warranty, express or implied, as to the
description, quality, productiveness or
any other matter of seeds they send out,
and they will not in any way be respon-
sible for the crop. If purchaser does
not accept the seeds on these terms they
are at once to be returned. ' '

THE CORN CROP.

The Department of Agriculture issued
its September crop statement September
8, basing its deductions on reports re-
ceived from its thousands of correspond-
ents up to the first day of the month.
The average condition of the crop was
given as 79.4, compared to 82.5 August
1, 80.2 September 1, 1907, and 90.2 Sep-
tember 1, 1906. On the popular basis of
computation the figures indicate a total
yield of about 2,598,000,000 bushels,
compared to 2,702,000,000 bushels indi-
cated by the August statement, and ap-
proximately 2,592,300,000 bushels har-
vested last fall.

The following table gives the condi-
tion of corn in the important producing

LUDINGTON, MICH.

The culture and love of flowers of all
kinds have enormously increased in this
vicinity during the last ten years. The
city, which was originally a lumber town
with but little care for literature or the
fine arts, has in ten years so changed in
these respects that the old resident who
has been away during the time would
hardly know it now. Asters, sweet peas,
dahlias, geraniums, verbenas and nearly
all the old kinds of annuals are now as
common around our homes as sawdust and
shavings were before, and those adorn-
ments, with beautifully laid out lawns
and well-cared-for trees, render our city
one of the prettiest in western Michigan.
We have a number of amateur florists
wno raise flowers for sale at the Epworth
and Hamlin lake summer resorts, located
from one to three miles north of the city.
Owing to the dampness of our spring and
fall seasons, sweet peas are kept in bloom
here until October 1, and grow to a size
of bloom unknown to the more inland
parts of our state. The kinds raised are
the Spencer types, mostly of recent in-
troduction. Lady Grisel Hamilton, King
Edward VII, Dorotny Eckford and Mrs.
Walter Wright grow to perfection. The
Frank Dolby, of recent introduction, also
does remarkably well. The Crego asters
recently introduced here are also making
a. great hit among the resorters.

DAYTON, OHIO.

Condition of Bttsiness.

The condition of last week's trade, in
general, among all our Dayton florists
was not of the briskest kind. Some days
business was exceedingly dull, while oth-
ers seemed more prosperous. Carnations
are becoming more plentiful each day,
and the demand is gradually growing,
Roses are good and also plentiful, and
longiflorums take well. The indoor asters
are nearly a thing of the past and owing
to the extremely hot and dry weather, the
outdoor asters are not doing well. Most
of the florists have ceased to grow the

(\S account of unfavorable weather the bulbs of the Formosa Lilium Longiflorum
^^ did not grow up to the sizes expected, but the plants formed good solid bulbs. We
are convinced our 6 to 8 in. size will give the same results which under favorable

September 10, 1808.

aster outdoors, as the gardeners raise so
many of them each year, and sell them
so cheaply, that it pays the florist better
to put in his time and use his ground
for some other proposition. The weather
continues hot and dry.

Varioui Notes.

The Montgomery County Fair opened
September 7 and among those of our
florists who are showing fine exhibits
of palms, ferns, plants and cut flowers
are Herman H. Eitter, the Dayton Floral
Co, and the Advance Floral Co.

D. Rusconi, of Cincinnati, was a vis-
itor in Dayton September 5.

Mr. and Mrs. M. Cook and daughter,
Mabel, who have been the guests of Mrs.
Bertha Hendrichs since the S. A. F. con-
vention, left September 7 for Cincinnati,
where they will spend a day or two and
then return to their home in New Or-
leans. E. A. B.

VASHINGTON.

' State of Business.

Business has improved since the begin-
ning of September and last Saturday and
Sunday found some of the retail stores
quite busy. The funeral of Mr. Sargent,
of the immigration office, called for a
nur.ber of large designs, for all the. rail-
road brotherhoods were represented by
handsome pieces. Asters are in large
supply and of good qualily. They are
selling well because carnations are still
scarce. Eoses are as yet only of summer
quality.

Qub Meetinsf.

The last meeting of the Florists' Club,
at which Mr. Schmidt was host, was a
howling success. It was the largest meet-
ing the club has held. The next meeting
will be in the potting shed at the green-
houses of the Gude Bros>-^., with A.
Gude as host.

Mr. Gude has been gathering subscri^
tions for the William Scott memorial
fund and thus far has secured $35.

O. A. C. Oehmler has returned from a
trip to Pittsburg and Toledo. O. 0.

ORANGE. N. J.

The first monthly meeting, after the
summer recess, of the New Jersey Flori-
cultural Society was held September 4.

Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, displayed
a collection of hybrid orchids, consisting
of cattleyas, Ia?lias, lycastes, vandas and
maxillarias. Thomas Jones, of Short
Hills, showed cattleyas and oncidiums.
A vase of asters of Weeber & Don's
' ' Best ' ' strain was exhibited by Thomas
A. Edison, Frank Drews gardener. There
were various seasonable flowers from the
neighboring estates. A hnUj^Hi exhibi-
tion of flowering shrubs was the attrac-
tion of the evening. J. B. Davis.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

During August the usual dullness in
our business was much in evidence, with
the exception of quite a number of fu-
nerals, which caused a little activity
among the retailers. "With the home-
coming of the society folks we expect
better business. The nights are getting
cooler, so roses and carnations are im-
proving.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Septembeb 10, 1908.

by a hard storm, which gave the florists
a scare. The storm lasted about two
hours and a half and the rainfall was
3.17 inches. There were three distinct
hail storms in that time, which broke
some glass for all of us. The hailstones
were as large as hickory nuts.

At J. . Niednagel 's they are about
through rebuilding benches and replant-
ing. Their roses and carnations are com-
ing along nicely.

Geo. Blackman says that they cannot
complain about business for this season
of the year.

Royston & Fenton report that the
wholesale trade has started off nicely for
this month. E. L. F.

SOUTH MANCHESTER, CONN.

Current Comment.

About 250 live members of the Con-
necticut Pomological Society attended
the field meeting of the society at the
Cheney Farm, in this place, on Wednes-
day, August 19. The Cheney Farm, of
which Thomas L. Brown is manager,
comprises about seventy acres of land,
forty-fivo acres of which are devoted to
growing, vegetables for market. The
meeting was pronounced one of the best
in the history of the society. The ban-
quet hall was beautifully decorated with
flowers.

One grower, who has a general line of
fruits, flowers and vegetables, said that
land which was growing celery and
onions around Southport, Conn., is now
going into the hands of rich New York-
ers at $4,000 an acre. The growers seem
to part reluctantly with their old gar-
dens, but the mpney tempts them. It is
almost a continuous city from New York
to Boston.

Seth Leslie Cheney has about finished
his new plant house, 10x187 feet. This
is a sash house, designed so that the
roof can be easily drawn off in spring
or fall. Other growers say this ia just
the thing, as it does away with hotbeds,
thereby saving great trouble and ex-
pense. T. L. B.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

TheMaffcet

At last, after three months of waiting,
we are being treated to a spell of sum-
mer weather. Business, except for a
few spurts in the line of funeral work,
remains very quiet and there is an ex-
^ cess of almost everything in the flow-
er Une except roses. The new crop ot
carnations is making a good showing, it
is noticeable this year that the growers
have been overhauling and changing their
houses much sooner than they formerly
did, and an avalanche of early sfock is
the result. Why the greenhouse men
have shown such an inclination to have
very early flowers the last two seasons
is difficult to explain, but there certainly
has been a rush in changing the houses,
with the result of an oversupply of car-
nations at the time when asters and early
chrysanthemums hold the market.

Asters, by the way, are scarcer than
last week, but the prices have remained
the same. Another two weeks will wit-
ness their departure and, from present
indications, chrysanthemums will be in
full supply to take their places.

Some violets of the Princess variety
have already reached town, but they are
weak of stem and small of flower and
do not make much show. Sweet peas are
moving more slowly than at any time
during the season. Amaryllis and gladi-
oli are scarcer and bring the same fig-
ures as were quoted last week. Aspara-
gus grown in lath houses is now at full
Irowth and is in heavy supply. Some
early smUax is shown. Maidenhair fern
continues in good supply.

THE DEMAND FOR FRUIT TREES.

There are many nurseries in California
and Oregon that deal almost entirely
in fruit trees, and from present mdica^
tions there will be quite a planting of
some varieties of trees on the Pacific
coast. On the whole, the present book-
ings of orders with the dealers who han-
dle fruit trees exclusively are better than
the orders on' hand at the nurseries where
ornamentals are handled. It is cus-
tomary, of course, for lists of fruit to
be booked earlier than other kinds of
stock, as planters want to be sure they
will have enough trees on hand to plant
their young orchards with.

The ruling prices will be much lower
than those of one year ago, and there
is a much larger assortment of trees to
select from. Last season the greatest
demands were for prunes, pears, apri-
cots, peaches and some varieties of apples.
For the latter there is no great demand,
however, either in central or southern
California, the plantings being greatest
in northern California, Oregon and Wash-
ington. Last year IJ cents to 18 cents
was the ruling price for almost everything

except cherries, plums and apples. The
Oregon nurseries, however, sold at slight-
ly lower figures than these, as did some
of our dealers, when it became late in
the season and slight surpluses were left
on hand.

Dealers at present are asking from 8
cents to 12 cents here for first size stock,
with plenty on hand. Orders are coming
in fairly rapidly, but the planters are par-
ticular as to what they are going to
plant. The demand for Bartlett pears,
apricots and prunes will be light, with
apparently very little demand for plums
or almonds. A few varieties of peaches
are selling well. Figs and grapes are
to be largely planted in central and
southern California. Cherries in a few
favored localities will be given a good
acreage.

The heavy crops of fruit during the
present season and the prevailing low
prices have had the effect of keeping
many farmers, who intended planting,
from going too heavily into the produc-
tion of fruit, and a considerable quan-
tity of stock sold will be used for the
replanting of old or worn out orchards.

VIOLETS FOR FRISCO MARKET.

The growing of violets in the vicinity
of San Francisco is almost entirely in
the hands of the Italian gardeners. Up
to ten years ago all the flower growers
had a patch of violets for the blooms,
and Swanley White, Marie Louise, Nea-
politan and California were the vari-
eties grown in about equal quantities.
Abou^«this time Princess of Wales made
its appearance and rapidly went to the
front as a profitable market variety. The
Italian growers, .who up to this time had
contented themselves with hardy outside
flowers and the growing of vegetables,
now turned their attention to violets, and
to a great extent gave up the handling
of other stock. With the advent of this
influx into the violet growing and the
fact that the Italians could produce the
flowers cheaper than the other growers,
they soon had the handling practically in
their hands.

The first move made was to discard
the growing of everything except the
Princess, which, on account of its hardi-
ness, freedom of bloom, long stems and
long continued blossoming, was the best
paying variety. A few scattered patches

of the double varieties were to be seen
in different localities, but the fact that
so few were offered for sale in the
stores and so few seen on the streets,
made the flower buyers cease to ask for
them and they have now practically
ceased to be grown in quantity.

With the violet situation in the hands
of the Italian growers, they quickly com-
bined in various ^vays and the output and
price were regulated to suit themselves.
The flowers were grown in the neighbor-
hood of the vegetable gardens, where
water and child labor were plentiful,
and these have been the secrets of the
success of the violet growers. Even
the Japanese and Chinese have not been
able to solve the problem of labor so
that they vdll be able to sell at the
same prices with the Italians, who de-
pend almost entirely on boys and girls
to pick the flowers, and in this regard
they are singularly blessed, as any visi-
tor to the Italian colonies can vouch
for.

During the past season several of the
combinations made by the Italian grow-
ers were broken and the retailers were
treated to something in the nature of a
real treat, namely, that it was possible

to obtain all the violets wanted at any
time and at a fair price. Whether the
growers will combine and cinch the store
men this coming season is impossible to
say at this time. The possibly lessened
demand which we are liable to face may
have the effect of making the Italian
growers more reasonable in their de-
mands. G.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market

Everything is asters here at the pres-
ent time in the flower line. They are un-
usually fine and abundant, notwithstand-
ing the ravages done by grubs. The
light blooms find better demand and
prices than the darker, although the lat-
ter are worked in to good advantage in
many of the funeral pieces. The deli-
cate shades have also been much sought
for decorative purposes for weddings.
Carnations have been propagated by
nearly every grower hereabouts for large
crops, and all are looking healthy and
promising. They are just commencing
to flower, but are so short stemmed as to
be useless as yet for market.

Various Notes.

Donald C. Wilson, a well-known bogus
check operator, was arrested recently in
Springfield, Mass., and from the photo-
graphs sent out from that city it is be-
lieved that Wilson is the man who worked
bogus checks on S. J. Beuter & Son Co.,
of Westerly, several days previously. If
Wilson is the man who swindled Beuter
& Son, he gave the name of James Web-
ster at that time. He ordered oak leaves
and palms for a wedding and presented
a check for $21.50 on the City National
bank, payable to Arthur J. Raymond,
and received a considerable balance in
cash.

The greenhouse of the Norwood Flo-
ral Co., at Norwood, which was partly
destroyed by fire last February, is being
rebuilt. The office, in the center of the
building, is being enlarged and will be
constructed almost entirely of glass, and
the new structure will be a decided im-

JACOB SCHULZ,

North Adams, Mass. — John McMillin,
who has conducted the Phelps green-
houses, at Blackinton, for the last few
years, will retire from the management
of the place in the latter part of Sep-
tember.

Shiremanstown, Pa. — This city was
swept by a disastrous fire September 2.
John F. Rupp's place escaped, though at
one time it was threatened with destruc-
tion. The seed department was removed
to a place of safety, as well as much that
pertained to the greenhouse trade. News-
papers throughout the state published ex-
tensive accounts of the fire and Mr. Rupp
greatly appreciates that many florists
showed their consideration by writing
their hope that he escaped.

The S4th annual Ronvention will oe held at Ro-

Walter Scott, landscape architect at
La Grange, 111., is reported to have a
number of good jobs in progress of
execution.

The meetings of the Southern Nur-
serymen's Association are characterized
by heart-to-heart talks, the breaking
away from set papers and program ana
the giving of personal experiences. Three
sessions were held each day during the
recent convention at Atlanta and every
session was well attended. ±*erhap8 the
fact that no stenographer is employed,
and that the proceedings are not print-
ed, lends to that air of freedom so dis-
tinctly a part of these meetings.

THE PECAN IN THE NURSERY.

[A paper by R, C. Simpson, of Montlcello,
Fla., read before the Southern Nurserymen's
Association, in convention at Atlanta. G'a.,
August 19 and 20, 1908.]

The pecan nursery business, as it is
carried on today, is a comparatively new
branch of the nurseryman's work. Seed-
ling trees have been grown and sold for
many years, but it is only within the
last ten years — I might almost say with-
in the last five years — that the grafted
trees of superior varieties have been
put on the market in any considerable
quantity. For a long time grafting or
budding was considered so uncertain and
expensive that most nurserymen could
not afford to bother with it to any ex-
tent. In late years, however, great
strides have been made in this direction
and we are now able to graft and bud
the pecan with a considerable degree of
success, often getting as high as fifty
to sixty per cent stand for an entire
season 's work, when conditions have been
favoraole. It will be my endeavor in
this short paper to make a few remarks
on seed planting, methods of propaga-
tion, and the subsequent care and hand-
ling of this most important nut tree.

Planting the Seed.
The pecan nurseryman starts at the
beginning, i. e., the seed. These are
planted in rows in about the samfe man-
ner as peach pits, except that they are
placed farther apart — usually four to
six inches. Some nurserymen plant the
nuts dry, in December or early in Janu-
ary; some stratify them in the fall and
plant in February; still others let the
pecans remain dry all winter, soak them
in water about three days before plant-
ing and put them in the ground about
the same time stratified nuts are
dropped. Personally, I prefer the first
method, and have always had the best
success with pecans planted in this man-
ner. "When the time for starting growth
commences, the seeds are lying in their
places, snugly surrounded by damp soil
and ready to start to work. No trans-
fer, by which the seed may become dried
out or mechanically injured, is necessary.
The nuts should be covered with a large
ridge of earth thrown over the drill, to
keep them from becoming water-soaked.
In the spring, if this is dragged down
just as the seeds are sprouting, the young
seedlings will find themselves growing

in a perfectly clean seed-bed, which could
not have been possible if either of the
other methods had been practiced. More-
over, if a planter is used this plan would
be almost imperative, as wet or sprout-
ing nuts would be harder to plant and
more liable to injury.

We were told when we first planned to
plant our seed in the fall that they
would be eaten up by wood rats, crows
and moles, and probably water-soaked
and rotten by spring. In two seasons'
planting, however, we have experienced
little difficulty from any of these things,

and therefore do not hesitate to recom-

Grafting.

In most localities seedlings must be
at least two years old before they can be
worked, but at Monticello the climate
and soil are so well adapted to the pecan
that they can be grafted when one year
old if they have been given proper care
and attention. The method of grafting
now most commonly used is the whip
graft, which is put on the stock as it
stands in the field. The scions are cut
about six inches long and are grafted
on the root of the seedling about five
inches underground, about an inch or at
least one eye being left above the level
of the earth.

It is no small job to remove the dirt
from the roots of these stocks, as it
must be cleaned out at least six inches
deep. We usually throw the earth away
from each side of the row with a one-
horse plow and then dig out the remain-
ing ridge with a potato fork or some
such tool. "We then have a man to wipe
off each stock with a rag, so that there
is no sand to dull the grafter's knife or
dirt to drop into the cuts.

The operation of putting on the scion
is exactly the same as in the ordinary
bench grafting, except that the posi-
tion and movements of the operator are
necessarily different. If the stocks are
too la#ge to work nicely with the whip
graft, the cleft or wedge method is
used. A good workman can put in a
thousand grafts a day when conditions
are favorable.

A tier follows each grafter and secure-
ly wraps each graft with waxed string.

The tying is almost as important as the
grafting and must be looked after closely
by each grafter. The arm is usually car-
ried entirely around the long graft with
each wrap of the string, and if the oper-
ator touches the scion he is apt to dis-
place it slightly and break the close
contact of the cambium layers, thus
causing it to die, even if it had been
grafted perfectly. We consider o tight
tying of pecan grafts just as important
as tight tying of cherry buds.

A third man is usually employed to
pack the earth securely around each
union with his hands, and to fill up the
furrow again after all operations are
finished.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

Septembeb 10, 1008.

Vegetable Forcing.

Terbe Haute, Ind. — The David Dick-
eon Produce Co., of Pittsburg, recently
purchased sixty-three acres of land in
Honeycreek township, south of this city.
The company has filed a certificate of in-
corporation, with $40,000 capital stock,
and will at once proceed to erect a large
range of greenhouses for vegetables.

FORCING TOMATOES.

On page 25 of the Eevievv^ for Sep-
tember 3 there was a description of the
houses used for the experiments in to-
mato forcing conducted at Macdonald
College, Quebec.

Starting the Plants.

The plants for house No. 1 of this
paper were started from seed sown Sep-
tember 36, in flats. These were pricked
off into 3Mj-inch pots three weeks later,
and carried in these pots to November
22, or nine weeks, when they were set
into the permanent bed, being about
twelve inches high at that time.

The plants for house No. 2 were
started December 15, in flats, and pricked
off a month later into 3 V^ -inch pots.
They were again shifted to 5-inch pots
February 20, nnd set into benches March
12. The plants at that time were
eighteen inches high. It will be seen
that these plants were carried three
months before benching. It is safe to
say, therefore, that the period between
sowing the seed and pricking off will be
from ■ three to four weeks. The plants
can then be carried in 3 V^ -inch pots from
four to five weeks, but if a longer period
is required a shift to 5-inch pots is neces-
sary in order to keep the plants growing
and healthy, it is also well to bear in
mind that while it is possible to carry a
plant in a 3i^-inch pot during the early
part of the winter, yet, owing to a much
more rapid growth toward spring, this
would be impossible without stunting the
plant. In no case is it advisable to carry
the plants longer than three months be-
fore benching.

Fruiting Period.

Plants set into benches in house No.
1, November 22, gave their first ripe
fruit the middle of March. The time,
therefore, required for the plants to come
into fruiting was 113 days. These con-
tinued in fruit until the middle of May,
or sevei\ty-one days. Those set into
benches in house No. 2, !March 12, gave
their first fruit May 12, or in sixty-one
days, and continued in fruit till the end
of July, a period of seventy-seven days.

It will be seen that the plants oc-
cupied the benches in house No. 1 about
fifty-two days longer than those in house
No. 2 before coming into fruiting. The
fruiting period was of about the same
duration in both houses. Allowing,
therefore, that the plants set in house
No. 1 could have been carried two weeks
longer by shifting into a 5-inch pot, it
still would have been necessary to carry
these plants five weeks longer in benches
in order to get ripe fruit during March
and April than to secure fruit in house
No. 2 during May and June.

Distance Apart.

The plants in house No. 1 were set
diagonally in rows twelve inches apart
.ind fourteen inches apart in the rows.

DENVER.

State of Business.

The supply of cut flowers has broad-
ened out considerably, there being a
larger variety to select from. A new
crop of roses is now coming in. Most
of the growers are cutting American
Beauties. There are not many long-
stemmed ones, but the medium and short
stems are most in evidence and the qual-
ity is fine.

Brides and Maids are also coming in.
They still show the effects of the heat,
but are fair and have good length of
stems, Killarney is being cut by most
growers. Of these the stems are short,
except in case of those that were planted
extra early, but the flowers are fine.

Some new carnations from indoor
planting are now in evidence, mostly
Enchantress, Eose-pink Enchantress,
white and a few Winsors. The stems
are still short, but the flowers are good.

Asters are plentiful — all that the mar-
ket can find place for. The best stock
sells well, but the large quantity of
inferior grades keeps the price down.
Dahlias are still coming in and are fair-
ly good, the best ones coming from the
Wilmore Dahlia Farm.

Various Notes.

One of the features of the Colorado
Interstate Fair and Exposition, held here
this week, is the exhibit in the floricul-

peting for the several prizes. John Ber-

The Market

Trade is slowly picking up and it is
commonly noted that in spite of being a
eool month, September is gradually com-
ing to be accepted as one of the vacation
months, and city people are returning
from their country places later in the
season than they used to do.

The feature of last week, and contin-
uing to the time of going to press this
week, is the great glut of asters and
roses, good, bad and indifferent, but the
oversupply is mostly short-stemmed stock.
Easter lilies are scarce and auratum lilies
are practically off the market. There is
a fine grade of valley to be had and it
finds ready sale. Carnations are coming
in more plentifully, but are small.

Various Notes.

Three of the children of Wm. B. Sands,
of Kuxton, and his daughter-in-law, are
seriously ill with typhoid fever and are
in a hospital.

F. C. Baur is rapidly recovering from
his illness.

Robt. L. Graham has opened a new
store on North avenue, near Linden ave-
nue. It was formerly used as a flower
store by J. A. Ritter & Son.

John P. Wilkin, of Gardenville, has a
splendid lot of mums. They are over
five feet high.

The greatest show ever held under the
auspices of the Maryland State Fair and
Agricnltural Society closed September' 5.
The exhibits in every department were
more numerous and far above the av-
erage, and at least 65,000 people were
in attendance during the week. The ex-
hibits of flowers were extra fine and some
asters and dahlias were sBOwn with seed
exhibits by J. Bolgiano S. Son, who had
one of the largest exhibits'there. Griffith
& Turner Co. had a fine exhibit of farm
implements.

C. J. Bolgiano is away dn his vacation
and will be away for two weeks. Q.

MiLFoao, Conn. — A. S. Nodine, of Sea
Side avenue, left August 31 for Provi-
dence, R. I., where he may decide to
locate. He intends to discontinue the
business here.

WEST GROVE, PA.

Both of the big concerns here are busy
distributing their autumn catalogues.
The Dingee & Conard Co. presents a
new rose to the trade. It is named after
the venerable founder of the establish-
ment, Charles Dingee, and as it is a
rose of excellent quality, is destined to
attain a wide popularity.

The trial grounds of the Conard &
Jones Co. are more than usually attrac-

tive at the present time. Acres of can-
nas and hydrangeas are now in full
bloom and present to visitors a pano-
rama not easily forgotten.

Baylis & Son have just completed three
large greenhouses, built for growing car-
nations and tomatoes. They have a large
and promising crop of chrysanthemums
and expect to place some superb blooms
upon the market this fall.

Roney Bros, have alreadv benched a

nice crop of their leading specialty, car-
nations.

The mammoth mushroom house at
Dingee & Conard 's is being rapidly
pushed to completion.

Bennett Walton, of London Grove, is
erecting two Lord & Burnham green-
houses, 60x105 feet each.

D. H. Green anticipates a prosperous
fall and winter season.

<X)LUMBUS,OHIO.

State of Trade.

Trade has been rather quiet for the
last two weeks, with stock scarce, out-
side of roses, which have been 'plentiful
and of good quality. Carnations are
good, but there are few of them in the
market. Good asters are still at a pre-
mium here, as most of the growers report
only about one-fifth worth cutting. Plant-
ing around here is about completed and
stock is looking promising.

There has been some funeral work and
that is about all we can count on here at
present. It will not be long until the
most of the travelers return, when we all
expect business to open up somewhat.

Various Notes.

Last week was the state fair week and
brought a big out-of-town crowd, with a
good many in our line of business who
came on business and pleasure combined.

The Florists' Club has held no meet-
ing as yet since the summer vacation,
and the outlook is that they will not be
able to meet in their old hall, but will
have to secure other quarters.

E. A. Currie, accompanied by his wife
and two eldest daughters, left September
6 for Lake Muskoka, Canada, via Cleve-
land, Buffalo and Niagara Falls, where
they will visit relatives for a couple of
weeks.

Sherman Stephens reports funeral work
heavy la«t week and quite a number of
grave linings.

Mrs. George Bauman is improving slow-
ly, and -we ail hope she will soon be able
to be in our midst again. J. M.

MONONGAHELA, PA.

Current G>mment.

Everything outside here is dried up.
We have had no rain for several weeks.

The I. S. Crall Co. has just com-
pleted a house 40x125 feet and has it
planted to mums.

E. I. Rawlings, who was with J. A.
Keeney last year, has gone to Albany,

James A. Keeney has begun walking
again, with the help of a cane. He
walked with crutches for a year after
his accident, but now is on deck again
and intends to make an effort to build
up his business once more. He will be
ready with 50,000 rooted cuttings of ge-
raniums and 10,000 petunias this winter.
He will build a sash house, 10x80 feet,
next month.

ST. PAUL.

A Retrospect.

A brief retrospect, after a month 's va-
••ation^ may not be amiss. When I left,
August 1, the grass was green, the trees
were all glorious with their wealth of
foliage, and all nature seemed full of
life and vigor. Early asters gave prom-
ise of a bountiful crop.

On my return, August 31, the grass is
brown and withered, many of the shade
trees are leafless and the withering hand
of drought has stricken everything in
the vegetable kingdom. What few asters
have survived are smjrtl and inferior.

Business has been good. Who ever saw
it poor when there v/as a scarcity of
flowers? The cool fall evenings are
calling the wanderers home from lake
shore, mountain top and ocean's wave,
andr'soon society, that great factor in
promoting our business, will be in full
sway and creating demands unheard of
during the swramer months.

Various Notes.

The state fair, which has just closed,
broke all records for attendance and dis-
plays, even surpassing the great Toronto
fair. While the premiums offered for
floral displays were not at all commen-
surate with the material used, there were
still a number of exhibitors. A. S. Swan-
son, of St. Paul, the Minneapolis Floral
Co., James Souden & Co., E. Nagel &
Co., R. A. Latham and John Vasatka
were the principal contestants, the prizes
being pretty evenly distributed among
them.

The annual meeting of the Minnesota
State Florists' Society, for the election
of officers, was adjourned from Septem-
ber 3 to September 15, at 8 p. m., at
which time a splendid attendance is hoped
for.

O. J. Olson went duck hunting Sep-
tember 1, returning with fifty fine birds

A Wonderful New Nephrolepis

Nephrolepis Superbissima

Introduction of 1908

We depire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year.

It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they
were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over-
lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact.

It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer iand darker green-
entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the
fronds never breaking down.

While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of
the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact
growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand
more knocking around than any other fern of this type.

It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant
that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class
with the other varieties.

It was awarded a l~'lrSL~CI£lSS ^erXlTlCa.Te by the Koyal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in
London, November, 1908, tbe plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After
being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class
Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates
in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities.

We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

SSPTOMBEB 10, 1908.

GHENT PLANT TRADE.

Tke plant trade of Ghent, Belgium, ia
perliape unique in the way in which it is
spread over the civilized world, and
therefore forma a kind of barometer by
which the horticultural trade of the
world may be estimated. , The follow-
ing sammaxy from L'Etoile Beige, of
Ghent trade in 1907, may, therefore, be
of interest to many of our readers:

Business as a whole is reported satis-
factory; the total weight of plants ex-
ported was 1,747,100 kilos, showing an
increase of 396,842 kilos over previous
year. As regards individual countries —
Russia showed decided improvement, but
caution as to customers is still needed.
The northern countries, Denmark, Swe-
den and Norway, take a lot of stuff, but
trade with the south, Italy, Spain and
Portugal, is insignificant. France re-
mains stationary; Germany, in spite of
a heavy tariff, remains the best cus-
tomer. Exports to the U. S. A. showed
a falling off in consequence of many
growers being only able to half fill or-
ders for palms, which have been scarce
and high in price; Canada is becoming a
considerable customer; Great Britain
comes in for rather biting criticism as
regards business methods.

SCHOOL GROUNDS TRANSFORMED

In reading of horticultural education
in the Review of August 27, I thought
of the park around the grounds of a
public school at my home town, Joplin,
Mo. It is the pride of that section of
the city. The work was started by resi-
dents of that vicinity.

When I attended the school, years ago,
there were dump-piles from the mines
where there is now a beautiful, well
kept lawn, with shrubs and small trees.
The parking extends around the school
on three sides, with a privet hedge be-
tween it and the playground. On the
fourth side there is a lawn, with a bed
of altemantheras in the center, spelling
"Columbia," the name of the school.
There are also two round beds, one of
cannas, and one of cannas and salvia.

The planting was done by Edward
Teas, nurseryman. Robert Treganza.

FLOWER TRADE IN LONDON.

The editor of the London Express
noted the often published statement that
the cut flower trade in America amounts
to $20,000,000 a year and sent a report-
er to Covent Garden to see about it. This
is what happened :

The statement that $20,000,000 a
year is spent in America on cut flowers
caused no surprise at Covent Garden.
The dealers state that half as much again
is spent every year in England. ' * In
fact, I should say the sum paid for cut
flowers in this country exceeds £6,000,-
000," said one of the largest wholesale
florists.

"The average man," he continued,
"would be surprised at the great quan-
tities of cut flowers that pass through
the market during one day.

"This is our slack season, because
there are so many flowers grown in
the open air now, but in our busy season
— between October and June — nearly
£20,000 worth of flowers pass through
the markets each day.

"The cut flower trade has increased
enormously during the last twenty years,
and it is now five times as large as when
I started business.

"At first, no doubt, £6,000,000 seems

"In the first place, there are the
big West End florists, who take a large
quantity of flowers for parties and gen-
eral decorative purposes. Then there are
the provincial dealers and the army of
hawkers — including the 'regulars' and
those who turn their hands to all kinds
of hawking. The latter sell fish one day,
fruit the next and flowers the next —
in fact, anything out of which they can
make a little money.

"The hawkers who sell flowers are in-

creasing rapidly, and I should estimate
their annual turnover at more than
£1,000,000.

"With regard to the West End trade,
there are sdways a great number of
parties each night of the season. It is
quite usual for hosts to spend £100 for
flowers for one party alone.

"The cut flowers sent -here from
France and the Channel Isles alone
amount to nearly £1,000,000 a year."

THE INFORMATION IS FREE.

I should like to have some questions
answered in regard to my boiler and the
piping of a house, 20x100. Will you
please tell me how much it costs per
question! Also state all other require-
ments. I am a paid-up subscriber to the
Ekview. O. E. K.

Please state the questions you wish
answered as clearly as possible, giving
all the dimensions of the houses to be
piped, as well as the style and size of
boiler, if questions involving heat are to
be answered. We will endeavor to be of
assistance to you without further ex-
pense. • L. C. C.

STEAM FOR CARNATION HOUSE

Please tell me how many feet of 1^-
inch pipe it will take to heat one green-
house with steam, for carnations. The
house is 29x300, seven feet high to the
gutter and fifteen feet to the ridge, with
glass on both sides. The temperature in
this part of Ontario sometimes gets as
low as 15 or 20 degrees below zero.

C. S.

To heat your house, 29x300, if the boiler
room is at one end, would require either
one 4-inch main under the ridge or two
3-inch mains along the purlins, and
twenty 1%-inch returns. If the returns
can be fed from both ends and the re-
turns emptied into a common return
through the middle of the house, a 3-inch
flow running in each direction from the
center to the ends of the house will
answer. This plan would reduce the
length of the flows, as well as the re-
turns, to 150 feet, which I think bet-
ter than 300 feet. L. C. C.

VATER IN BOILER PIT.

May I take this opportunity to give
my experience in keeping water out of
my boiler pit? I saw in the Review
some time ago about a person who was
troubled about getting his pit deep
enough on account of the water not hav-
ing drainage. I had the same experi-
•nce.

below that the water would fill the pit
in a wet time, so I concluded to put in
a cement box to keep the water out. I
dug nine feet deep and had to pump
to keep the water down, but succeeded
in building the box, which is 9x16x25,
with walls eleven inches thick at the bot-
tom and six inches thick at the top, and
a 10-inch floor, all of sand and cement.
It has been in use three years and is
perfectly dry. The water has been with-
in two inches of the top at times, yet
it did not leak.

If anyone would like to get details of
the work, I shall be pleased to give them.

SUPERFLUOUS FLOW PIPES.

My greenhouse is 20x50 feet, eleven
feet eight inches to the ridge, with con-
crete side walls five feet four inches
high, including sixteen inches of glass.
The house runs from north to south and
is fully exposed on all sides. It is
located in Missouri. At present I have
four 2 V^ -inch flow pipes under the ridge
and sixteen 2-inch returns under the
benches. 1 want to take two flow pipes
off, if you consider it right* If I do so,

flows at least eighteen inches, to rua
them through the wall and bring them
straight down to the boiler. A floor
between causes the difference of eighteen
inches. This would bring the flow pipes-
ten feet above the boiler. At present
they are eight feet six inches above.

With this plan carried out, I will do
away with three elbows near the boiler
in each flow pipe, which I consider a
great obstruction. I have three valves
near the boiler, which I shall have to
move to the far end of the house. I
use them to cut out from one to three
coils in mild weather, and they did good
service last winter. Please state if you
approve of the above plan. C. G. A.

HOUSES ON SLOPING GROUND.

I have a piece of ground sloping to
the south, and 340 feet long from north
to south, with a fall of about three per
cent. I want to build a 6-room cottage
100 feet north of the greenhouses, and
for this reason would like to place the
steam boiler north of the greenhouses
and plan to build future houses to the
south.

Would it not be advisable to begin
building on the south side of the ground,
placing the boiler south? This would
leave the boiler 250 feet from the cot-
tage. Would this be too far to heat
economically, and wliat size of flow
should be used to make the connection?
For the greenhouse I plan to run the
flow overhead, returning under the
benches with 1-inch pipe. The house will
be 27x200, heated to 50 degrees where
the outside temperature drops to 10 and
>6 degrees below zero. How large
should the flow be? How many returns
will be necessary and what size of main
return should these connect with, at the
end of the house, to the boiler? How
low would the boiler have to be to make
a steam trap unnecessary? How large a
boiler will be required, in horse-power,
including enough for an additional green-
house, 27x200? I am located in Illinois.

G. J. B.

I do not think it would be safe to
undertake to heat a plant such as you
contemplate, allowing 800 squa/e feet of
radiation for the cottage, with a boiler
rated at less than thirty-five or forty
horse-power. The boiler should be placed
deep enough so that the returns in the
greenhouses will be at least two feet

TWO CONNECTED HOUSES.

I have two connected houses, running
east and west, the south one 8x50 and
the other 24x50, open between, and 1
wish to heat them with steam, using 1-
inch pipe. I propose arranging the pipes
as follows: Five runs under the north
outside bed; five runs under the next
raised bed, which is five feet eight inches
wide; two runs on each side of the cen-
ter or solid bed, to be used for callas,
smilax and sweet peas; four runs on the
posts between the houses, under the gut-
ter and over a 7-foot solid bed, to be
used for vegetables, and five runs under
the outside bed at the south. The height
of the north wall is five feet, with no
glass. The height of the south wall is
four feet four inches, with twenty inches
of glass. There is glass in the gables to
within thirty inches of the ground.

I have a twenty horse-power tilbular
boiler. Would it be more economical to
get a smaller boiler? I can get a six
horse-power tubular boiler here for $35,
in good repair, but I propose doubling
my glass area next summer. The boiler
is to be on the level of the floor of the
greenhouses. I also propose running my
flow to the far end of the house and
back to the near end, as all returns flow
to the west and I have the boiler at the
east end of the house.

The temperature outside occasionally
falls to 30 degrees below zero in this
northern Wisconsin climate. I wish to
grow carnations and general stock. Are
my plans right t C. A. H.

The amount of piping you propose
using should be sufiicient to maintain a
temperature of from 60 to 65 degrees
during severe weather, with eight to ten
pounds of steam pressure. You do not
state your plan for returning the water
to the boiler. This is a problem to be
carefully considered if the boiler is set
on the level of the greenhouse floor. It
means a lift of some kind. ' L. C. C.

Kindly discontinue my advertisement
of alyssum. It did the work. I sold out
clean and could have sold more. —

INDIANAPOLIS.

State of Trade.

Business has been slow lor the- last
week, but improvement is looked for in
all lines this week, as the state fair
generally starts things going and the
opening of the schools next week brings
everybody home again. The drought is
still here and the "probable showers"
that the weather man kindly puts in his
forecasts do not come off.

Various Notes.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Indianapolis Florists' Club, which should
have been held September 9, is put off
till September 16, on account of the
state fair. At this meeting the election of
oflBcers for the ensuing year will be held,
after which there will be a supper. It
is expected that a record crowd will be
1)11 hand to participate.

The Smith & Young Co. has completed
its greenhouse, and also a fine residence
on the place at Cumberland.

William Billingsley has added much to
the appearance of his store by the ad-
dition of a fine show case and ice-box.

The State Florists* Association holds
its monthly meeting September 10 and
hopes for a good attendance of members
from out of town. S.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

There are now plenty of asters to
pick from. We have had some heavy
rains recently, which have spoiled a good
many blooms. Vick's and Scrapie's are
the late varieties mostly grown; 35 cents
and 50 cents per dozen retail are the
prices asked. Roses are coming in of
fair quality for the time of the year.

A few carnations are coming in from
the newly housed stock; they are still
short-stemmed; 35 cents per dozen retail
is the price. Sweet peas are about all
done; the hot summer months were too
much for them.

Most of the growers here have finished
housing their young carnation plants.
They are looking good and healthy. It
has been a fairly good growing season.

Mums are looking well and, from pres-
ent indications, there will be a good sup-
ply this coming fall.

Various Notes.

Sunday, September 13, will be flower
day here, and it is hoped that there will
be a good call for flowers. This will
be the second year of the movement here.

A. H. Ashley has taken a new partner
into the firm,

R. H. Woodhouse has made extensive
repairs the last season, and now has one
of the most up-to-date places around
Mere.

William Livesey is building a new

The Weekly Florfsts' Review,

Septbmbbb 10, 1908.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

There is not much change in the cut
flower trade — one day good and two days
bad, with much more stock than can
be disposed of. This makes it rather
unsatisfactory for the wholesaler who has
to handle the unsold stock. The retail-
ers are not doing much, but are taking
things easy, waiting for the trade to
come.

Qub Meetui£.

The Florists' Club had an enthusiastic
meeting Tuesday, September 1.

P. S. Randolph, of Randolph & Mc-
Clements, had a fine exhibit of crotons.
Mr. Randolph is enthusiastic about this
class of plants and did not hesitate to
give all information asked for by the
growers regarding the propagation and
growing of his stock.

Nathan Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich.,
showed a fine collection of asters, which
were examined separately and were very
favorably commented on.

The W. C. Beckert prize of $10, for
best collection of ten vegetables, went
to Mr. Price, gardener for Mr. Bains-
dale, with Jas. H. Park's gardener a
close second.

The committee appointed to make a
design for a float for the sesquicentennial
showed designs, but the whole thing was
turned over to the committee for settle-
ment.

Schenley park, as usual, was there with
a good exhibition of asters.

There were reports from the members
who attended the convention and they
were all complimentary. Even the fact
that Mr, McParland, in his views of
Pittsburg, showed only unsightly things
from our city when he might have shown
some of the grand improvements which
have been made, is considered all right
if they will help him teach the lesson
be desires, and we have been working in
this city for a long time trying to get
rid of the very things which he showed
in his pictures. In one case we went into
<5ourt to have certain signs removed, but
failed.

Various Notes.

Randolph & McClements are putting a
plate glass side in the greenhouse adjoin-
ing their store, next to Baum street,
and when it is finished it will add another
100 feet of show windows, making actu-
ally over 200 feet of show windows on
that one corner.

Mr. Zieger was also very busy put-
ting his place in phape for the coming
season, with good results.

Frank Faulk says the cut flower busi-
ness is anything but satisfactory, but
he is working night and day in taxidermy,
and the only thing bothering him now is
whether it would be better to open a store
in the city and take up this line as a
business, or stick to his first love, flowers.

The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co.
is sending the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.
some fine yellow chrj-santhemums, Kaiser-
in and Killarney. Hoo-Hoo.

Marion, Ind.— Slack & Butterworth
have succeeded to the business of Gun-
nar Teilmann, who has taken a govern-
ment position.

We are completely sold out of carna-
tion plants, thanks to one insertion of
our advertisement in the Review. — Clin-

The Garland Concrete Bench

THE BectioDS can be made during the dull season and set up in a hurry. The outflt'is
inexpensiye and it is the cheapest and best bench on the market. It can be made at
about the same cost as a Kood wooden bench. It can be used with cement posts,
wood stringers, cement or tile bottoms and wood or cement sides. Complete mola outfits
sold, or the mold for any part. Every florit^t should have at least one of these post molds, as
the cement posts are cheaper than cedar and easier set, no hole being required ; they are
everlasting and can be used for complete cement construction if in the first place used with the
balance of the bench made of wood. One of our largest giowers has adopted this bench
construction and now baa 600 barrels of cement on the place to be used in this construction
this winter.

For prices of the molds or other Information, address

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry of how we liked your Shredded Cattle Manure, would
say that we took one car as a trial, then we gave you an order for two cars more and now we haye
just bought of you three hundred tons. We gave your manure a good trial test as follows:

We put nine hundred pounds on a bench three hundred feet long by five and nne-htilf feet wide,
as a mulch on Beauties, and on the next bench, of exactly the same size, planted also with Beauties,
we put two thousand pounds of rough cattle Manure. After three days the rough Manure had
become all washed out, nothing being left but straw and dirt, while your Shredded Manure lasted
ten to twelve days and is still doing work.

In making manure water it is fully three or four times as strong as the rough Manure. The
advantages of its even (luality and the easy and unobjectionable way of handliirg the Manure, not a
pound being wasted, make it cheaper in our opinion than the rough Manure which we can get tor
simply the cost of freight and loading. Respectfully, BASSETT & WASHBURN.

The Lightest

Construction
' and Greatest
Strengrth.

Pronounced by experts who have examined it to be the most decided step ahead in practical greenhouse construction. It consists almost
entirely of steel, including the ridge, having just sutiicient wood to hold the glass in place and protect it from the changes of outside temperature.

The small wood bars employed are securely fastened to the "T" bars by means of bolts passing through both at frequent intervals. These
bars are the means of insulatiag the glass from the iron and are arranged in such a way that they preserve the internal neat and prevent con-
densation; at the same time they are small enough to bring the "T" bars sufficiently close to the glass, to prevent the formation of ice at those
points. There is absolutely no drip from this construction.

All of the wood is open to access at all times, and is not encased in steel, therefore, it has a thorough circulation of air around same, and
can be painted at all times, thus mailing it beyond question the lightest and most durable construction yet manufactured. Greenhouses built on
this principle are constructed with curved glass eaves, doing away with the shadows from the eave plate. The roofs are supported either by our
skeleton iron rafter or by posts and the steel work throughout is galvanized. These features, combined with the minimum quantity of wood used,
represent the highest type of greenhouse construction.

High Qaality,NotfligliPrices

railHENEVER we make a piece of material, it is our aim to turn out
i^^ the very best that can be produced; high quality is our object, for
%^m nothing else will satisfy the man who wants to build a greenhouse
and make a success. There can be no success without this striving
after quality; without there be an effort to produce something better
than was produced before. The man who believes in selling poor stock,
low class goods, and gets what he can for his work, never progresses or
succeeds permanently. We are working hard to make our construction
more modern, to improve our patterns and our methods of manufacture;
we must keep up with the times and stand at the head of the procession
or drop out of the line. Prices are to be considered, of course, in every-
thing, but it's quality that counts after all. You forget the price, but
you don't forget the quality.

It's not what yon pay, but what you
g^et for what you pay- -that is economy.

GERANIUMS IN THE SOUTH.

In the "Seasonable Suggestions" of
the Eeview of September 3 it was said
that the first week of September is suf-
ficiently early to start the propagation
of geraniums in the southern states. Of
course, I do not know what the writer
means by southern states, but I will
say that in Louisiana, or any other state
of the same latitude, it is a loss of time
to try to root zonal geraniums before
October 15. Sweet-scented geraniums
may be started two weeks earlier.

The suggestion of Mr. PoUand, of
Eldora, la., is certainly the best adapt-
ed for our climate, but instead of using
shallow flats we start the cuttings in
the open ground. The way the cutting
is cut does not amount to much. Still,
it is better to cut it close under a joint.
Any piece of well-worked garden soil
will do. The more you expose them to
the weather after being planted, the bet-
ter it is. 5ven if the cuttings taken out-
side are a little soft, they will harden
at once when the weather is fresh, with-
out rotting, and form roots. As soon
as they have roots, or even a good callus,
they can be potted in small pots. Pot
firmly. Use tight ground, but well
open, so that the water goes out freely.
Little animal manure or vegetable decay,
if any, should be used. Bone meal is pref-
erable.

In the south we grow all our geraniums
in coldframes all winter until the bloom-
ing time, when we finish them in the
greenhouse. Diseases or insects of any
kind are entirely unknown to us.

M. M. L.

ROOTED GERANIUM CUTTINGS.

I have carefully read and noted what
William Trillow and others say in the
Review of September 3, page 4, in re-
gard to propagating geraniums, and I
agree with Mr. Trillow that there is
not enough discussion on handling this
widely popular and large selling plant.
According to Mr. Trillow, it is unusual
to root successfully more than fifty or
sixty per cent of geranium cuttings
taken from plants grown outdoors, and
the business is not especially profitable
at this rate. Although he expects to
improve on this, I think he will have to
follow a different suggestion than was
given by the other growers quoted in the
Review of September 3, page 4. The
rooting of geraniums in pots or shallow
flats filled with sand or soil and placed
either in the greenhouse or outdoors,
after one thorough watering and then
allowed to get dust-dry, would most like-
ly be almost a total failure, because
shallow flats filled with soil or sand, in
which are placed the cuttings, and then
placed outdoors in the sun and wind,
would not last long — one wind or rain-
storm would demolish all cuttings placed
outdoors.

I start to take my cuttings from stock
in the field the last week in August and
generally try to finish the first week in

September. "While some of the readers
of the Review think that the cuttings
taken from stock in the field are much
softer, more apt to damp off and harder
to root, I have found it .to be just the
contrary, with the exception of being
more difficult to root, as my cuttings
have always been much harder than those
from stock grown under glass, conse-
quently more difficult to root. I also
claim that it is harder to root seventy-
five per cent of geranium cuttings taJcen
from outdoor stock than to root ninety-
five per cent from stock grown under
glass, simply because the stock grown
outdoors is in a general mixed-up state,
as part of the cuttings you will find to
be soft, others medium and some quite
hard. You cannot take such cuttings
and put them on a bench in three or four
inches of clean, sharp sand and give all
the same treatment — to suit a batch of
cuttings all in the same condition — but
where the stock is grown under glass the
cuttings produced will all be in about
the same stage, namely, soft, and the
whole batch will do well. These cut-
tings should be cut off, trimmed and laid
on a shady bench for several hours before
putting into sand. From such cuttings
I can root from ninety-five to 100
per cent much easier and with more cer-
tainty than to root seventy-five per cent

from stock grown outdoors. I also think
that the only proper way of rooting
geranium cuttings by the wholesale is
on benches filled with clean, sharp sand
to the depth of about three or four
inches. Pound with a brick and run
several heating pipes underneath.

Let us hear from those who find their
cuttings to be softer from outdoor grown
stock than indoor grown, also from those
who are practicing the shallow-flat
method, filled with soil or sand and
placed outdoors. I hope that we will
come to a better understanding in re-
gard to successfully rooting geraniums
by the million. E. A. MucHOW.

UNDER GREENHOUSE BENCHES.

Are there any vegetables or flowers
which could be profitably raised under
greenhouse benches in a carnation house,
also in a rose house? One bench opens
to light and the other does not, but is not
very dark. The distance from the soil to
the hot water pipes suspended under the
bench is twenty-one inches. I thought of
trying rhubarb or asparagus, but am
afraid carnation temperature is not high
enough. R. E. G.

A carnation temperature is rather too
low for asparagus and rhubarb. These
should have 60 to 65 degrees at night and
are better in the dark. Mushrooms would
do if you can sufficiently darken them
and not allow water to run on them. The
fact that pipes are right over beds is the
worst feature, as this would make the
surface constantly dry. You could place
many bulbous plants, such as tulips, nar-
cissi and hyacinths, under the benches
after they are well started and leave
them there until flower buds show. Lilium
longiflorum can also be grown there for
some time. C. W.

CATERPILLARS ON MUMS.

How would you prevent the striped lit-
tle caterpillar or cutworm from eating
off the tops of mumsf I pick all off that
I can find, but that does not save all the
plants, and smoke does not seem to check
them. A. W.

Persistent hand picking is the only real
remedy for the caterpillar in question.
Fumigating and spraying with soap, or
nicotine solutions will clean out aphis and
thrips, but not this pest. A poisonous
substance must be placed on the leaves to
kill it. These will either discolor the
leaves or burn them; therefore, hand
picking, while slow and rather tedious,
is the only safe remedy. C. W.

SEASONABLE CULTURE.

Water and Insects.

The buds on early varieties, and many
of the exhibition kinds, are now swelling
rapidly and a more careful use of the
hose is called for. So long as the buds
have not broken through their hard.

husky covering they are all right, but
once the petals push out, overhead spray-
ing must be stbpped or the water will
lodge in the bud and rot the center.

Insects of all kinds must be entirely
got rid of this month, because one cannot
fumigate with safety when flowers are
half developed. For the aphis I always
use tobacco dust of the kind specially
prepared for fumigating and know of
nothing safer or cheaper. It is by no
means unusual to see foliage badly
burned by tobacco, and such stock not
only sells poorly but is useless for exhib-
iting. I have never experienced any of
this trouble when using the dust, which
is why I always recommend it.

Red spider must be wiped out before
the buds show color, or many flowers will
be utterly spoiled. If any are showing
on the foliage at this time, get a nozzle
with a fine spray and wash every leaf so
affected. Some growers use a spray pump
and a solution of X L All or Ivory soap,
but I have always argued that any prep-
aration, if made strong enough to kill
red spider, must injure the surface roots
of the plants and just at present, when
the buds are swelling, the plant noods

every root to work and help push things
along. Spider can easily be seen by the
condition of the leaf, which always loses
its dark, glossy appearance when spider
is working on it, ,

Grasshoppers ■ also must be closely
watched at this time, as they have a play-
ful habit of nipping through the stem
just below the bud, or taking one side
out of the bud, which is as bad, as either
renders the flower useless. The mornings
are cool now and the grasshopper can be
caught easily enough with the fingers if
one chooses to be an early bird and get
around before the sun is up.

Feeding.

Now is the time that feeding is bene-
ficial to the plant, because it is taken up
by the bud and goes directly toward in-
creasing the size of the flower. It seems
unnecessary every year to caution against
overfeeding, yet every year one sees or
hears of losses from this cause. To feed
lightly and all the time from now On is

far better policy than giving a heavy
dose and then changing oflf to clear water
again. Liquid made from cow or sheep
manure is fine, particularly if a chemical
is used in between. Sulphate of ammonia
is generally used for this purpose, though
latterly I have been using a complete
chemical, which seems effective.

A safe proportion of either of the
chemicals is one pound in a 50 -gallon
barrel, and a bushel of sheep or cow ma-
nure in a bag will make a good liquid
that will stand some thinning down for
first applications.

The exhibitor with a perfect knowledge
of his plants, and years of experience
back of it, feeds much more heavily than
could be recommended for general con-
ditions, and, while the novice may be
anxious to make a big showing, it is bet-
ter to err on the safe side, and go slow
till one is familiar with the effects of the
different chemicals.

SPRAY OF CARNATIONS.

The spray of carnations is one of the

l^^^Wi

^i^gw

funeral designs by C. H. Tox, Columbia
avenue and Twenty-first street, Phila-
delphia. The groundwork for the spray
is Cibotium Schiedei, which is favored
by Mr. Fox as a background. The car-
nations are Enchantress, arranged loose-
ly to bring out the individual beauty of
each flower. The spray is tied with
gauze ribbon. Phil.

A JAPANESE WINDOW.

Speaking of window decorating, I
send herewith a photograph of a minia-
ture Japanese tea garden, consisting of
grounds, walks, lake, mountains, etc.,
which is placed in a window 9x10 feet,
thinking it will interest readers of the
Eeview. It is in the window of the
Weimar Floral Co., Mount Vernon, N. Y.

The entire piece of work is raised ten
inches from the tile flooring of the win-
dow. The foundation is lumber, covered
with club moss. The walks are made
with sea gravel. The rustic tea hquses,
settees, bridges and sun shade are of
twigs, the roofs of wheat straw. Small
electric lights surmount the different
posts or gateways which lead to the tea
houses, and others to the mountains.
In each house I have placed an electric
light. In the lake there is an island of
cement inlaid with large pebbles. On this
island I have another house, reached
by a rustic bridge. In the rear of the
lake there is an inlet of water, also
crossed by a bridge. Around different
parts of the grounds there are rustic
settees and miniature Japanese figures;
a rustic well adds much to the show.
In the lake I have a collection of Jap-
anese fan-tail goldfish, also pond lilies.
Bunning around the grounds are small,
live terrapin, diamond-back turtles and
southern chameleons, which are famous
for the changing of their colors.

The mountain range consists of three
mountains, first made of bent laths, to
form the shapes, then covered with bur-
lap, and last with sheet moss, the high-
est mountain being covered with white
sand and powdered cement, to represent
a barren mountain.

The plants used around the grounds
are dwarf specimens of thuya, retinis-
pora and pines. I also used variegated
euonymus and Euonymus radicans pinned
to the moss to represent the low-growing
vegetation on the side of mountains.

The window has drawn immense crowds
daily. Samuel J. Clark.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WINDOWS.

An Idea From Museums.

During the last few months it was my
privilege to visit two museums of im-

portance. The impressions made upon
my mind by the two exhibits are the
best illustration at hand of the kinds of
window display put out by florists of
different tastes. The museum at A sur-
passed in thie number and variety of
specimens, preservation of which was ap-
parently perfect, and the mechanical con-
trivances for protecting the individuals
of the collection were all that could be
asked. But it was a triumph of science
without the touch of art. Hundreds of
beautiful birds were mounted in a single
case, with none but accidental regard for
their homes and habits. They were
roosted in rows, big and little, while
across the aisle were fish and fish all
headed the same way, neatly catalogued.
All that a visitor could retain was a maze
of birds, butterflies and a confusion of
queer legs and fins. But it is no diflS-
cult matter to produce a long list of
specimens viewed at the other museum.
There was a group of Kocky Mountain
goats climing their native rocks, nib-
bling at the scanty grass under the snow.
There was an eagle's nest constructed
according to eagle orthodoxy, with the
mother bird feeding her young. There
were snipe, heron and birds of paradise,
each mounted separately, according to
its own locality and surroundings. There
was a herd of buffalo, and their foot-
prints behind them in the trail down to
the drinking place. It is needless to add
that there was a suflScient amount of
sage grass in evidence. The pheasants
were not only there in their Chinese
plumage, but their haunts were there,
too.

There could be no better object lesson
for many a florist than to study this
beautiful Burchert collection in City
Park museum, Denver. If he could dis-
play his flowers as these animals are
exhibited, he would show himself a ca-
pable artist. •

A Sweet Pea Scheme.

Following along this line was an ar-
rangement of sweet peas which would
make an attractive window decoration.
This was a plot in a Japanese tea gar-
den: A rustic enclosure, about square,
was set up of undressed poles, one hori-
zontal piece three feet or less from the
ground, supported at the corners by up-
rights. To these poles were trained low
vines of a brilliant pink sweet pea,
scantily planted, so that each vine showed
its graceful lines of stem and flower.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

The color of the flowers against the
rough bark of the frame made a beauti-
ful contrast. Within the enclosure were
some small, low-growing plants of har-
monious color. It was almost the sim-
plest thing that could be constructed,
but the charm of it will cling to mem-
ory for many a day. And that is what
you want of a window — to cling in the
memory of the passer-by and bring him
back to purchase.

Use of Grasses.

Wild grass will be found helpful for
filling in landscape windows, red top and
foxtail being common enough to be
easily located almost anywhere. The
large, cultivated kinds are beautiful with
braid and rush baskets. Use like rib-
bon for wrapping handles and tying flow-
ers. Carry out the idea farther, some-
time when flowers are scarce or you wish
a radical change in your window. Have
an exhibit which shall include many of
the grass family, the above as well as
our native cereals, pampas grass, ribbon
grass, etc. Arrange on a matting back-
ground, in shocks, patches or sheaves.
Trim or fill Indian baskets with a few
wild roses or other field flowers. An-
nounce the proceeding on a neat placard.
This plan is good for a combination seed
and flower store, with some grass seeds
added.

Figures in "^iadows.

Occasionally a figure introduced into
the window scheme is attractive, as one
bulb window observed last fall, which
brought excellent selling results. A pile
of new bulbs was placed conspicuously
near the front of the window, while be-
hind it was a figure to represent a little
Dutch boy in overalls and blouse, with a
spade. He stood in the act of digging
in the soil, getting ready to plant the
bulbs. The Dutch boy grew to be quite
a favorite in and about the store, and
made his appearance again, once pick-
ing cotton, and again climbing a fence
with his arms full of flowers to which
he had just helped himself in a very in-
formal manner. The practice of intro-
ducing any object as conspicuous as a
figure, however, should be indulged at
rare intervals and only appropriately.

Either on account of a taste not en-
tirely unperverted, or to cater to a taste
which longs for enough flowers to fill
All the space in sight, it is often judged
good policy to add some feature to the
upper space of the window, even after
the decoration proper has been com-
pleted. In a landscape or water window
an overhanging branch with flowers or
fruit attached will serve the purpose,
something which has a distinct connec-
tion with the plan of the window.

Sometimes a window made up of hang-
ing vases, baskets, etc., is a good ar-
rangement. Suspend raffia-covered vases,
Japanese hangers, or round-bottomed
baskets at various distances above the
floor, some nearly touching it, others as
high as the eye line, and the intervening
spaces dotted with the different sizes.
If convenient or practicable, cover the
floor with one large or a number of
small mirrors as a background. Do not
decorate the mirror space; reserve it
for reflection. Or suspend one immense
hanging vase against a handsome, soft
background of silk or other good fabric.
Let the hanging vase come quite low and
be the source of garlands and traceries
of green and flowers extending irregu-
larly in different directions from the
central point. Gertrude Blair.

GREENHOUSE LUMBER FREIGHTS.

Manufacturers of greenhouse material
have recently been making an effort to se-
cure changes in the classification of their
shipments to effect a saving in freights
for their customers. In this connection,
the following letter from the A. Dietsch
(^o., Chicago, addressed to the Official
Classification Committee, New York, will
be of interest :

' ' We have been referred to your coni-
niitee, and wish you would kindly in-
form us if you have jurisdiction in the
matter which we wish to submit to you
below, and let us know your ruling in
regard to the same. We are manufac-
turers of greenhouse material and as such
we are working up considerable lumber
in 114 -inch and 2-inch planks, shaping
the edges of said lumber so as to make
it fit for the purpose for which it is
intended, such as plates, gutter, ridge,
etc. We have been in correspondence
with the inspector of the Pennsylvania
railway, of this city, in regard to cer-
tain lumber which had been worked at

both edges but otherwise was plain on
the upper and lower face, and he ruled
that the same had to be classified the
same as carpenters' molding, while he
stated at the same time that other lum-
ber also worked on both edges to make
it fit for flooring, siding, etc., etc., would
take lumber rate. We cannot see any
justice in this ruling. If strips of 1x4,
etc., worked at both edges, take the lum-
ber rate, why should li/ox4, 2x4, 2x6 and
wider, pay a higher charge? These said
pieces were bundled in the same way
as is customary with flooring, and since
there is no difference in any way, so far
as handling, weight or responsibility is
concerned, his ruling seems to be unjus-
tified. You will please note that the ship-
ment in question was not end-matched.
Wo would be thankful, however, also, to
receive your views in case these pieces
had been end-matched, as hardwood floor-
ing is being worked. ' '

SUFTHMBBB 17, 1908.

TEMPERATURE.

At what temperature should Killarney,
Eichmond and Enchantress be kept?

E. P. L.

The best night temperature for these
varieties is from 56 to 58 degrees, with
ventilation whenever it is possible.

BiBES.

ROSE LEAF BLIGHT.

There seems to be some trouble with
some of our roses, the Eichmond, Kil-
larney, Brides and Maids. The Golden
Gate in the same house do not show it.
We had it last year in winter and now
we see it on young stock that has been
growing most thriftily so far. It is not
black spot, but it might be called brown
spot. It shows on the young, tender
shoots and, by the time the bud has
developed, the leaves below show big
brown spots, or some of them dry up or
fall oif entirely, or sometimes the bud
and top wither, as if for lack of water.
A leaf at first shows a darkish spot, usu-
ally toward the tip and from the upper
side, but in time the substance of the
spot is gone, leaving a dead looking place
on the leaf, if it does not spread to the
entire leaf.

We enclose some leaves, but are afraid
they will not be in condition to show the
trouble. I shall be most grateful if you
can name the trouble and cause, and any
remedy or treatment. Z. K. J.

The leaves were somewhat shriveled
when they reached nie, but they fur-
nished sufficient evidence to show the
effects of some fungous trouble. The
fungus appears to be the rose leaf blight,
which, if unchecked, will cause a lot of
troublo in a short time. It may not be
this identical fungus, but it would be
safe to treat it as such.

Spray with the carbonate of copper
compound, using five ounces of carbonate
of copper to three quarts of ammonia
and sixteen gallons of water. Spray
once a week, using a nozzle that makes a
fine spray, and wet every part of the
leaves. This is a sovereign remedy for
many of the fungi which trouble the
rose under glass. Eibes.

A SLOW START.

We are mailing yon under separate
cover a rose plant and sample of the soil
the stock is growing in. They do not
seem to be doing as well as we think
they ought to, and would like to trouble

you for a little help if you can give us
any, as to how we shall proceed to better
their conditions.

The soil was taken from a pasture lot
that had not been plowed for twenty-
three years, the sod being plowed under
in March and replowed in Aprit About
the middle of May we hauled it near the
greenhouses and piled it up and mixed in
about one-fourth of cow manure. The
plants were si^all 2^4 -inch stock and were
planted on the benches June 25. The
black soil jrt^ will find is the soil they
were in when we got them from Chicago.
About ten days after planting we gave
them a sprinkling of lime and raked it
in, and in about three weeks we raked
in a sprinkling of bone meal. They
have had plenty of ventilation and have
not been overwatered. For the last three
weeks we have watered them once a week
with nitrate of soda, using a 4-inch
potful to fifty gallons of water. Are we
light in doing this? The varieties are
Bride, Maid, Eichmond, and Uncle John.
The Bride and Maid are doing better
than the others, but have not made the
growth we think they should. I have
been growing plants all my life, under
glass and outside, but this is my first at-
tempt at roses under glass, so anything
you can tell us to do to make these roses
grow will be greatly appreciated.

S. F. P.

to try to force growth on such young
stock by the use of nitrates. The black
prairie soil in which the young plants
were originally potted, although present-
ing a poor appearance, has nothing to do
with the present condition of the plants,
as it is capable of producing high-grade
stock.

Cultivate freely, at least once a week,
to the depth of an inch; keep the plants
tied up ; give plenty of water ; night tem-
perature 56 to 58 degrees; day tempera-
ture 75 to 80 degrees, always with venti-
lation whenever possible ; keep the syringe
going to keep down spider and produce a
humidity in the atmosphere.

As the stock is suffering from no dis-
ease, they will soon outgrow the present
weakness. Ribes.

PLANTS FOR FLORISTS' GROUNDS

The Irises.

The soil, though a little deficient in
fiber, is excellent for rose culture and
the proportion of cow manure is right.
The sprinkling of bone meal would also
l)e beneficial. It is, however, a mistake

Those florists who have home grounds
are missing an opportunity if they do
not plant a bed of irises. Such a one
as shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion, even if it be not so large, will,
when in bloom in spring, be the means
of bringing a good number of orders
for similar planting.

Too many people still think of the
iris as the old blue flag of the fields
and do not appreciate the beauty of the
modern iris. The accompanying illus-
tration is from a border of German
irises in the garden of Z. G. Simmons,
at Kenosha, Wis., where John H. Wil-
cott is gardenei'. This is an ideal spot
for the iris, as it faces the east and is
backed by a hedge of mulberry trees,
which were planted for the purpose of
screening the neighboring back yards ,
from the view. The hedge also serves
the purpose of keeping the ground moist
and breaking the strength of the after-
noon sun. This gives a splendid border
effect the entire length of the garden
and is also ornamental in spring, before
the garden is all planted. The soil is a
rich, sandy loam and the irises are
planted in large clumps. Mr. Wilcott
spreads plenty of manure on the ground
early in the spring and, if suflicient rain
does not fall, he gives the ground a good

soaking with the hose. This starts tne
irises into immediate growth.

The Yucca.

The yucca is another plant with which
the florist can do good business, but
which is now largely neglected. Almost
anyone who has room for the plants will
order a few if he sees on the florist's
grounds such a bed as is shown in the
accompanying illustration, also from a
photograph made on the grounds of Mr.
Simmons, at Kenosha. This bed con-
tains about fifty plants, but only one
corner of the bed shows in the illustra-
tion. They are 8 years old and planted
in the poorest sandy soil on the place,
which suits the yucca excellently; they
are six to eight feet high. Early in
the spring a liberal supply of manure
is spaded into the ground and the bed
is given a liberal soaking. After this
little attention is needed until the next
spring, as they stand a great deal of dry
weather. Mr. Wilcott has the bed plant-
■ed with the butterfly weed, Asclepias
tuberosa, and the cardinal flower, Lobelia
<iardinalis, which give a succession of
good effects, as all three are hardy
plants. The yuccas are planted two and
one-half feet apart and remain in bloom
nearly all summer.

The florist who wishes to handle
yuccas can buy a stock of plant^ for his
own grounds from almost any leading
nursery. He then can propagate an
abundance of stock for sale, from off-
sets or by using stem-cuttings, or the
rhizomes, which may be cut into short
lengths and rooted in the cutting bench.

STCX3CS AND SNAPDRAGON.

Could I sow ten weeks' stocks now and
have them blooming in pots at Easter,
1909! What temperature? Also the
same for snapdragon? K. E. G.

It is rather too early to sow stocks for
Easter. Start them early in December.
A temperature of 45 to 50 degrees at
night will suit both these an^ snap-
dragons. Sow the latter at once, oVj. bet-
ter still, if you can secure good cuttings,
get them into a propagating bench at
once. The snapdragons will not give you
much flower before Easter if sown now.

FLOWER SUNDAY.

Flower Sunday is observed in a large
number of cemeteries, especially in the
east, as a second Memorial day, and
wherever given the proper trial is prov-
ing a great success. It is up to the
cemetery officials to start the movement.
They should send out a printed notice
to each lot owner and should make the
same preparations as are made for Me-
morial day. Where this has been done
for two or three years in succession, it
has been found that more flowers were
brought to the cemeteries on Flower
Sunday than ever were on Memorial day.
One reason for this, of course, is that
so many more outdoor flowers are avail-
able, but wherever flowers are used the
florist gets his share of the benefit.

In speaking of the observance of the
day, Charles H. Vinal, chairman of the
cemetery board, at New Bedford, Mass.,
said:

"We take the Sunday after Labor
day for the observance of Flower Sun-
day. It is the time just before the
winter's frost, when nearly every family
has an abundance of flowers growing in
private gardens. On Memorial day, as

a rule, there are not many flowers in
this section, and the people have to resort
to the greenhouses for their decorations.
This, of course, necessitates an extra
expense which Flower Sunday avoids.
The board is having its lawns and plots
trimmed so that Flower Sunday deco-
rators will have surroundings that look
as well as on Memorial day."

DAISIES FOR CUT FLOWERS.

Will you kindly tell me how to grow
daisies for cut flowers, what temperature
is required, what varieties are best, etc.t
B. D. S.

We presume you refer to the Paris
daisies. Chrysanthemum frutescens, more
commonly known as marguerites. These
may be had in bloom from Christmas
until Memorial day. Cuttings rooted
now will give you nice blooming plants
for Easter. For early blooming, in De-
cember, January and February, cuttings
should be rooted in the spring and car-
ried over summer in pots, pinching the
shoots regularly and removing all flow-
er buds as they appear. A temperature
such as you give carnations will suit
daisies, but they can be grown 10 de-
grees lower if required. The heat should
never exceed 55 degrees at night and
50 degrees is better.

If you want quantities of fine flow-
ers for cutting, plant your stock in shal-
low benches, or stand the pots on soil
and let them root through. The best
whites are Queen Alexandra and Corona-
tion. There are two good yellows; one
named Etoile d'Or has smaller flowers
than the other variety, but flowers more
freely and makes a nicer pot plant.

CARNATION NOTES.- WEST.

Stem-rot.

Before you put on your carnation sup-
ports you will find it' a good plan to re-
place whatever plants may have died out
on account of stem-rot or for some other
cause. If you were wise you potted
up a few plants of each variety at bench-
ing time. You can always count on a
few plants dying out, and plants lifted
at the time the benches were planted
will be well established now and will
plant without a check, while plants from
the field will wilt quite badly and will
lag behind those originally planted for
a long time.

It is a strange thing, the experiences
one hears about from different growers.
For instance, a few days ago the intro-
ducer of one of last season's novelties
inquired as to our experience along that
line with his variety. On our place, as
well as his own place, the variety has
done unusually well so far ; not more than
two per cent have been lost from vari-
ous causes since the rooted cuttings ar-
rived last February. Another grower
has replanted more plants of this va-
riety than he originally planted. This
same introducer, however, complains of
the same trouble with Beacon, he having
replanted about as many as he first plant-
ed. Now, why do these things occur?
The soil used on both benches is the
same, I understand. The more one
studies this disease the more perplex-
ing it seems to become. Recent observa-
tions convince me that this fungus at-
tacks the stem of the plant and not
the roots, as is claimed by some. A
strong and conclusive proof was found
in plants which rotted off well above the
ground and sprouted afterward from eyes
below the rotted place. Plants like this,
when lifted, showed no unhealthy con-
dition of the roots, they being as plump
and white inside as any other. Of
course, where there is a complete suspen-
sion of growth, as where no eyes break
into growth, the roots will soon become
clogged and unhealthy, giving the im-
pression that they are probably the cause
of the trouble. I find that other grow-
ers have made the same observations.

But to get back to the replanting.
The safest way is to remove most of the
soil immediately around where a plant
stem-rotted, and fill up with new soil
before replanting. I have seen two and
three batches of plants destroyed where
the soil was not removed; but, on the
other hand, I have seen hundreds of
plants set right in the same soil where
plants had died out and go right ahead
as though it was new soil. That would
indicate that a plant must be in proper
condition to take the disease. Plants es-
tablished in pots will be less liable to at-
tack than plants lifted from the field just
prior to being set in the vacancies. Air-
slaked lime sprinkled around will help
some, too. A. F. .1. Hair.

GRUBS IN CARNATION BEDS.

About four weeks ago — August 6 —
I planted a solid bed of large, fine
Enchantress. They never wilted, but
started finely and are coming on nicely.
About ten days ago I found grubworms
in the bed. Will you please tell me how
to get rid of them? H. W,

them. For full information on using
it, send to the United States Department
of Agriculture for Farmers' Bulletin No.
145, "Carbon Bisulphide as an Insecti-
cide," by W. E. Hinds. That will tell
you all about it better than I could da
it.

We have seen slaked lime used with
good effect. Either sprinkle it on the
beds and water it in, or else make lime
water and saturate the beds with it.
Use a peck of lime in fifty gallons of
water. A. F. J. B.

I suppose the grubs you complain of
are the common white grub, which is
usually found in sod soil. This grub
is generally found in limited numbers,
but they are very destructive if allowed
to work 'unchecked. We usually dig up
the soil under a wilted plant and destroy
the grub, which is easily found if the
trouble is caused by that pest. We have
never had them in any great numbers,
and have not found it necessary to resort
to any other method of destroying them.
I have been told that the poisoned bait
recommended for cutworms is quite ef-
fective against this grub. This bait is
made of bran, molasses and either arsenic
or Paris green.

If they have become very numerous
and a menace to your crop, I would
advise you to use carbon bisulphide
against them. That will surely destroy

SCALE ON OLEANDER.

I have an oleander tree that has scale
on it. What shall I do to get rid of
them? Is there any solution I can use
to destroy them? A. R.

The only way to entirely remove scale
from your plant is to sponge it over.
This is, of course, slow and tedious work.
To make it presentable it will, however,
be better to do this. If you want to kill
the scale, put a wineglass of kerosene
to each three gallons of water. Keep
it agitated with the syringe and wet
every part of the tree with it, or you
can use such special insecticides as fir
tree oil, or lemon oil, which are soluble
in water diluted in thirty to fifty times
their own bulk. Once you get your plant
clean, use a good force of water on it
frequently, and to make sure that no
scale, bug or other pests harbor in it,
give it a syringing every three months
with one of the soluble oils mentioned.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

I

Mignonette.

Seeds of mignonette sown in beds or
benches early in August will now be mak-
ing rapid headway. Any necessary thin-
ning out of the seedlings should have
been done while the plants were small.
If neglected, it is better even now to
attend to it. You cannot get fine spikes
where the plants are left too close to-
gether.

Some of the shoots will now be run-
ning up to flower. It is better to let
these show the flower buds before pinch-
ing them back quite hard. If done
while the shoots are short and tender, the
new breaks will be somewhat weak. The
lana; of the white butterfly are trouble-
some at present and a careful search
should be made for these green pests at
least once a day, or they will soon ruin
a lot of plants.

Keep the surface soil scratched over
and, as mignonette resents anything in
the nature of coddling, leave on full
ventilation at all times until frost threat-
ens and even then, if a minimum of 40
degrees is maintained, it will be suffi-
ciently high.

CaJceoUrias.

The cool September nights are needed
to galvanize life into the herbaceous
calceolarias. They simply refuse to grow

satisfactorily in hot weather, such as we
have experienced a large part of the
summer. A frame where the little plants
can be shaded from direct sunshine, with
ample ventilation all the time, is what
calceolarias require.

Do not on any consideration let them
become potbound before giving them a
shift. The compost in the early stages
may be largely leaf-mold and loam, but
for the later pottings some well pulver-
ized cow or sheep manure should be
added. Finely broken charcoal and sharp
sand are also helpful ingredients, and pot-
ting should not be done too firmly. If
packed in fresh tobacco stems, the arch
enemy of this useful spring flowenng
plant will not be able to get a foot-
hold.

Freesias.

The present is a good time to get iu
a furthe?' batch of freesia bulbs. Noth-
ing is to be gained by delaying the latest
plantings after October 1. These late
batches never seem to produce the vig-
orous spikes of the earlier ones, the
bulbs, no doubt, losing much of their
vitality from being out of the soil so
long.

Where Christmas flowers are wanted,
the earliest batch should now be placed
on a shelf in a light, sunny house kept
at 52 to 55 degrees at night. Remember

■ ''^rii^^iV'VT^rWTr'^^y^w^"

'. "* -

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

that freesias are more often ruined by
too little water at the roots than too
much, and when watering these see that
the pans or flats are thoroughly soaked.
Scratch the soil occasionally and pull
out the little weeds, which will be plen-
tifully showing themselves by this time.

Sweet Peas.

The early sowings of sweet peas are
BOW commencing to climb up their sup-
ports and will flower a little by the
iirst week in October. They will grow
better and make stockier haulms as the
solar heat declines. Plants should not
have been left any thicker than two
or three inches apart and, if you want
fine flowers, have courage to thin where
they have germinated too thickly. It
will pay you well in the end.

This is a good time to make an addi-
tional sowing in pots where it is intended
to follow early chrysanthemums with
them. Keep in a cool, airy house, or,
better still, a frame. The seeds will
soon germinate and care must be taken
to give the little seedlings light sup-
ports before they fall over. There can
be no better varieties to sow now than
Christmas Pink, Mont Blanc and Wat-
•chung. It is too early to start any of
the regular outdoor varieties, but any
of the Zvolanek sorts can be sown at
any time.

Do not give sweet peas any fire heat
until obliged to. They will not be in-
jured by the temperature falling to 45
degrees on cold mornings, or even a de-
gree or two lower.

Marguerites.

Excellent cuttings of marguerites are
now obtainable on stock plants outdoors.
Get in a good batch before frost comes.
These can be grown along into shapely
6-inch or 8-inch pot specimens for Easter.
The yellow varieties, beautiful as they
are, appear to make much blind wood
and give much fewer cuttings than the
white sorts. If some of the old plants
are cut back fairly hard now, they will
soon give a nice crop of suitable cut-
tings. Select those which do not show
flower buds. These latter will never make
plants.

Plants carried over the summer in pots
make useful Christmas plants. Pinch-
ing of these may now be discontinued.
Keep them outdoors as late as possible,
and when housed let them have a cool
but ^unny house.

It will not pay to delay stringing the
benches of smilax. Unless this is attend-
ed to before the plants start to run,
there will be an unenviable job in trying
to disentangle them. If the plants are
looked over once in three or four days,
there will be little danger of their run-
ning wild.

If you are carrying old plants over,
it is to be hoped you have not forgotten
to give them a mulch of well decayed
manure. Sometimes cutworms are de-
structive on smilax. Lay poisoned sweet
bran as a bait for them if they ap-
pear.

Stevia.

While a mere breath of frost will kill
stevia, it should be kept outdoors as
late as possible. The plants all should
have been lifted and potted before this
time and should stand io a sunny place.
As the shoots are extremely brittle and
would be broken or bent by wind storms,
place a moderately stout stake in each pot

Peony Wagner Park.

and tie the leading shoots to it. When
threatened frost necessitates the housing
of stevia, place in the coolest house you
have.

Propagation.

Frost may come any time after the
middle of September, so that it will be
good policy to get in batches of cut-
tings of any bedding plants which may
have been overlooked, especially those of
a tender nature, including coleus, achy-
ranthes, alternantheras, heliotropes, cro-
tons, dracsenas, pandanus and abutilons.

All of these root better where they can
have a little bottom heat. Do not trouble
to lift any scarlet salvias. They are so
much more easily raised from seed.

Peonies.

September is the best month in the
year to divide and transplant peonies.
The ground" for them should be liberally
manured and plowed deeply. Plants
should be set three to four feet apart
each way. The more room they have, the
better chance is there to properly culti-
vate them. Do not bury the eyes over
four inches deep, and if you do any re-
tail trade in peonies, see that they are
correctly labeled. Better discard some
of the poor, washed-out colors and pro-
cure from a reliable dealer varieties of
pleasing shades, which are sure to at-
tract purchasers.

Dutch Bulbs.

The early shipments of Dutch bulbs are
coming to hand and appear to be of fine
quality. Unpack and lay the bulbs in
boxes on arrival until you find time to
get them into the soil. Prepare a good
pile of compost and get fiats, pots and
pans in readiness for compost. Use well
decayed cow or horse manure one-third,
or in place of it a similar proportion
of that from spent hotbeds, and two-
thirds fibrous loam. All bulbs like a
good proportion of sand in the soil and
a few shovels of soot and some fine

charcoal are also useful ingredients, al-
though good bulbous flowers can be
grown without these latter. It is bet-
ter not to use bone or any chemical
fertilizers. These will do more harm
than good. In a later issue, the special
culture of the various Dutch bulbs will
be referred to in detail.

PEONY WAGNER PARK.

At Sidney, O., the Wagner Park Con-
servatories has for several years devoted
much of its attention to peonies, and
it has found these one of its most satis-
factory items of stock. Although a
large line of hardy material is grown
for landscape gardening, there are few
items which aflford such opportunity for
profits as does the peony: cut blooms in
the spring, autumn wholesale deliv.erie3
of roots to other growers of cut blooms,
and plantations in practically every job
of landscaping.

In addition to trying out all the lead-
ing sorts in general cultivation, the Wag-
ner Park Conservatories has raised some
new sorts of its own, which have been
introduced to the trade. One of these is
shown in the accompanying illustration.
It is named for Wagner Park, where
B. P. Wagner established his business.
Mr. Wagner says that this peony re-
sembles the American Beauty rose and
he considers it to stand among peonies
as the Beauty does among roses. It is
a large, well-formed flower and can
be cut on stems of great length. An-
other valuable variety introduced from
this place is named Mary Elizabeth. It
is blush white with creamy center, a
strong grower, with large flowers on long,
strong stems.

VIOLETS IN COLDFRAMES.

Can California and Princess of Wales
violets be grown as satisfactorily as
Marie Louise in coldframes? How should
they be' treated? Can the same bed be
run a s^ftond year? B. D. S.

The Bingle violets, like Princess of
Wales and California, do just as well in
frames Ml t^e doubles. They are better
not plaMfed before October. Treat pre-
cisely as yon would doubles, once they
are in the fratmes. They will not afford
many flowers until the middle or end of
February, but always give a heavy spring
crop of idark blue flowers. Give them soil
which htis plenty of rotted manure in it.
Air freely on all favorable occasions,
and give a light shading when the flow-
ers come on plentifully, to hold the color.
It will not pay to run the same plants
a second year. Use rooted runners.
Plant outside late in April and lift in
fall for best results. C W.

BOSTON.

The Market

Business shows a little improvement,
but prices remain much the same. Out-
door flowers continue abundant, espe-
cially asters, which are of splendid qual-
ity; Semple's, Vick's and Giant Comet
especially so. Victoria is much seen
also. Gladioli are not so abundant, but
ample for all requirements. Quite a few
tuberoses, cosmos, dahlias and other out-
door flowers are also seen.

Roses are steadily improving in qual-
ity. American Beauties are making
slightly better prices, but the general run
of roses remain much the same. Car-
nations are not yet abundant, but some
of these from early plants or indoor-
grown stock have good stems. There is
a good sale for all grades of carnations.

Violets have appeared, a few of both
Princess of Wales and Lady Hume Camp-
bell being seen, but are small yet. Chry-
santhemums are seen only in small lots
and with the abundance of fine asters are
really not needed. Lilies and lily of the
valley are each in moderate supply, and
there is a fairly steady demand for
green stock.

In the way of choice flowers, Vanda
caerulea, Cattleya Harrisonise and Oncid-
ium Eogersii are seen, among others;
also some nice dendrobiums, phalsenopsis,
gardenias and Bouvardia Humboldtii at
the better class stores. Plant trade is
improving a little, there being more in-
quiry for palms and foliage plants, but
it is too early for real activity.

Dahlia Exhibitioa.

The exhibition held September 11, 12
and 13 was chiefly notable for the mag-
nificent display of dahlias from R. & J.
Farquhar & Co. This exhibit was so ar-
ranged as to bring out the most beau-
tiful blending of colors, being in the
nature of a big floral design, with palms

and other foliage plants as a back-
ground, broken by handsome vases of
dahlias on large stems. Some 20,000
dahlia flowers were used and the dis-
play was the finest of the kind ever seen
in Boston and probably has not been
equaled in America. All classes of
dahlias were represented, several hun-
dred varieties, being shown.

In the competitive classes there was
keen competition, the flowers being of
splendid quality. The chief prize win-
ners were J. K. Alexander, Mrs. H. A.
Jahn, W. D. Hathaway, F. L. Tinkham,
Taole Dahlia Gardens, Joseph Thorpe,
W. H. Simmonds, W. H. Cruff and Dor-
chester Dahlia Farm. The W. W. Rawson
silver cup for best display by a private
gardener was wo'n by W. A. Riggs. The
exhibition of dahlias far outclassed any
previous ones held in Boston.

Blue Hill Nurseries were first and
third for thirty varieties of herbaceous
plants, Belleviic Nurseries being second.
First-class certificates were awarded to
L. W. Goodell for a splendid strain of
verbenas, and to Peirce Bros, for Chry-
santhemum Golden -Glow. Harvard Bo-
tanic Gardens had. a fine display of an-
nuals and perennials; F. J. Rea, herba-
ceous plants; B. ^Hammond Tracy, a
splendid lot of gladibli; W. C. Winter,
Mrs. E. M. Gill and William Whitman,
general displays. F. W. Fletcher received
honorable mention for Marguerite asters,
also for Violet Baronne Rothschild, and
an improved form of Physostegia Vir-
giniana named grandiflora. H. A. Dreer
received a similar award for a tank
of aquatics.

C. W. Parker had a collection of twen-
ty varieties of hardy roses, Wilfrid
Wheeler asters, Vick's Pink, and helian-
thus; the Boston Park department, flow-
ers of tamarix, buddleia, etc., and Gen. S.
M. Weld, Thomas Coles gardener, a col-
lection of herbaceous plants. Mrs, J.
C. Whitin, W. McAllister gardener, had
the best collection of foreign grapes.
There were excellent displays of season-
able fruits and vegetables.

Qub Meeting.

There was a splendid gathering of 120
members September 15, in Horticultural
hall, when club meetings were resumed.
Six new members were elected. In place
of a regular lecture there were vacation
experiences from quite a number of the
members. M. A. Patten spoke of S. A. F.
convention and a Canadian trip ; Robert
Cameron talked on Nova Scotia; Geo.
Butterworth on horticultural sights in
England and Holland; Kennett Finlay-
son on Bar Harbor, and Wm. Downs on
Amherst College. Mr. Farquhar made a
report on the landscape classes.

Messrs. Palmer, Wheeler and D. Fin-
layson were appointed a committee to
draft resolutions on the death of Emil
Johansson. Several members spoke feel-
ingly on his untimely death.

The committee appointed to draw up
resolutions on the death of Warren W.
Rawson, a member of the club, presented
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted. The committee consisted of
Thomas J. Grey, J. A. Pettigrew and
William P. Rich.

The committee on the late picnic,
through Peter M. Miller, made a financial
report, which was accepted and votes of
thanks were passed to all prize donors.
There were also short reports on field
days at Amherst Agricultural College and
the New England Nurseries.

Exhibits included Dendrobium Phalse-
nopsis from D. Finlayson, Violet Baron-

ess Rothschild and Marguerite asters
from W. S. Fletcher, and Bouvardia
Humboldtii from W. N. Craig.

Refreshments were served and the
evening proved a pleasant one for all
who attended.

Various Notes.

F. W. Fletcher continues to make a
specialty of Physostegia Virginiana,
which, under the name of Texas heath,
has attained quite a little market popu-
larity.

The attendance at the dahlia show at
Horticultural hall was much the largest
of the present year. Interest in dahlias
continues to grow apace in Massachusetts.

The annual fruit and vegetable show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety will occur October 10 and 11. The
annual chrysanthemum show comes No-
vember 6, 7, 8 and 9.

H. M. Robinson & Co. are receiving
some fine Beauties and other roses, and
their lily of the valley is excellent. They
are anticipating good fall business.

The various seed houses have received
a good consignment of Dutch bulbs and
expect sales to equal those of a year ago,
more especially in kinds for outdoor
planting.

Funeral services for the late Joseph
de Lara Galvin occurred September 10.
There was a large concourse of mourn-
ers, including quite" a number in the
trade, and floral souvenirs were numer-
ous and beautiful. W. N. Ceaig.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The market last week was dull; the
appearance of the wholesale houses show-
ed plainly that little was going on among
the retailers. The weather has been warm,
and we have not had a drop of rain
for a month. Even funeral work was
scarce all last week. The opening of
the public schools brought in a little extra
work Tuesday, September 8, but the
wholesalers said it was one of the dull-
est weeks we have had for a long time.

There are plenty of roses and fairly
good stock in all varieties, with consid-
erably longer stems, but the hot spell
made them soft. Carnations, too, are
coming better, with plenty of them, but
still short in stem. Asters have come
in heavily and thousands found their
way to the dump. The same can be said
of tuberose stalks and other outdoor
stock. There are plenty of dahlias, too.
All greens are plentiful.

Qub Meetins;.

The Florists' Club spent Thursday
afternoon, September 10, at the home of
J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111. ; it was
the most enthusiastic as well as the best
attended meeting of the year. The mem-
bers met at the east approach to the
bridge and left at 1 p. m., arriving in
Edwardsville at 2 p. m. Before the meet-
ing the members inspected this well-
kept place of 50,000 feet of glass. We
found the young stock looking fine, es-
pecially Ivory, Killarney, Alice Roose-
velt, Rhea Reid and Perle. In carnations.
White Enchantress, Queen Louise, En-
chantress and Beacon looked good, and
there also was a good house of chrysan-
themums. Those who had not seen Mr.
Ammann 's place for a couple of years
were surprised at the great improve-
ments and all said that they had never
seen a better arranged or a better kept
place.

The meeting was held in the packing

house, next to the office, and fifty were
present when President Young called to
order. After routine business the fol-
lowing names were presented for mem-
bership: W. H. Ossic, Louis Mourer,
Julius Koenig, J. H. Kahrs, L. A, Giger,
O. H. J. Landel, T. F. Barrman, L. W.
Spangler, L. W. Schviever, Sr., and L.
W. Schviever, Jr. Two members were
reinstated to membership. J. J. Burke
was elected to membership.

The president then called upon C. C.
Sanders and J. J. Beneke to take charge
of the installation of the new officers.
Henry Ostertag, trustee, was the first
officer installed, followed by Secretary
Bentzen, Vice-president Denker and W.
C. Young, who was reelected president.
Treasurer Weber has not as yet returned
from Europe. He will be installed in
office at the next meeting. All the of-
ficers made speeches on taking their re-
spective chairs, the address of President
Young being quite lengthy. W. C.
Smith was requested to read a paper at
the next meeting on "In What Way So-
cially Can the Members of This Club Be
Brought Closer Together?"

There was quite a discussion on the
advisability of the club holding six even-
ing meetings and six afternoon meetings
during the next year, which was finally
left to the trustees to report at the Octo-
ber meeting.

Before adjournment Mr. and Mrs.
Ammann were called before the meeting
and presented with a handsome cut-glass
water set. It was a complete surprise.

An excellent lunch was served.

On the way home the younger mem-
bers had a good time in the smoking-car
and initiated Mr. Burke and several
other new members in regular form.

Various Notes.

Adolph G. Fehr, of Belleville, 111., re-
cently spent a day in the city, buying
supplies. Mr. Fehr reports his summer
trade good, with a great deal of funeral
work.

C. Young & Sons Co. have issued a
handsome fall catalogue and orders for
bulbs are coming in daily.

W. C. Smith & Co. have finished their
improvements, which give them much
more room.

Mrs. James Young served as a good
Samaritan last week, when a motorman
was crushed in a collision in front of
her home, 5508 DeGiverville avenue. She
made him as comfortable as possible
until the city ambulance came to remove
him to the hospital. The spectators
were loud in their praise of Mrs. Young
for her efforts to comfort the in j urea
man.

Dr. A. S. Halstead, president of the
St. Clair Floral Co., Belleville, 111., has
invited all the florists to attend the
county fair at Belleville this week, Sep-
tember 15 to 18. He says that his com-
pany will make a big display of deco-
rative stock at the fair.

Kichard Frow & Sons are building two
new houses at their new place in Nor-
mandy. They will run the old place on
the Natural Bridge road until next sum-
mer, when the property will be sold for
building lots.

William Winter, of Kirkwood, is run-
ning for school director and it is the
wish of all local, as well as the Kirk-
wood florists, that he be elected.

John Steidle, at Central, will have a
fine cut of roses, carnations and violets
this season. Mr. Steidle 's entire pro-
duction is handled by Fred C. Weber.

J. W. Dunford, of Clayton, has fine

prospects for carnations and violets,
which are mostly consumed at his retail
establishment, the Gallagher Flower
Shop.

Henry Felter, on Lexington avenue,
will have a fine lot of pot chrysanthe-
mums, as usual, this fall.

F. H. Weber and Mrs. Weber have re-
turned from their trip to Germany and
report that they spent a most enjoyable
summer abroad. J. J. B.

OBITUARY.

William Butcher.

Stj-icken with heart trouble while rid-
ing his bicycle September 9, William
Butclier, of Providence, E. I., 73 years
old, fell heavily to the street and died a
few minutes afterwards at the Ehode
Island Hospital.

Mr. Butcher was one of the oldest and
bfst-known florists at Providence. He
had just left his greenhouse at 38 Pit-
man street when he was seen to sway and
then pitch headforemost over the handle-
bars of his bicycle. A passer-by went to
his assistance, but finding that he was
unconscious summoned an ambulance
from the hospital. Mr. Butcher was
taken to that institution, but died before
he could be removed to a ward.

Mr. Butcher was born in Yorkshire,
England, and came to this country in
1866. He leaves a widow, but no chil-
dren. He had no other relatives on this
side of the water, it is said. He came
to this country at the request of ex-
Governor William Sprague, one of the
three surviving war governors, who placed
him in charge of the greenhouses and
conservatories belonging to the extensive
Sprague estate on Young Orchard ave-
nue. Providence. After the failure of
the Spragues, in 1873, Mr. Butcher en-
tered business for himself. He was one
of the original members of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club of Ehode Island
and was iaentified with the Ehode Island
Horticultural Society and was a promi-
nent member of the Masonic fraternity.

Emil Johansson.

Emil Johansson, Brookline, Mass.,
whose acute illness was reported in last
issue of the Eeview, died September 12
of brain fever. Mr. Johansson was a
native of Sweden and had been in Amer-
ica about fifteen years before taking
charge of the well-known orchid collec-
tion of James E. Eothwell, of Brookline.
He was for some years in charge of the
orchids at the Lincoln park collection,
Chicago. He worked for two or three
years for E. G. Uihlein, Chicago, and
before coming to America was with San-
der & Sons, St. Albans, England. The
deceased was a first-class orchid grower,
and since coming to Boston, his
exhibits of cut orchids, as well as
groups arranged for effect, have been
among the star features of the exhibi-
tions at Horticultural hall. He was an
expert raiser of seedlings, many fine nov-
elties having received silver medals and
certificates.

He was a member of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society and during the
present year had efficiently acted as one
of the members of the plant and flower
committee. He was also an active mem-
ber of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club
and one of the committee on awards for
some years, as well as one of the execu-
tive committee for the present year. His
geniality and gentlemanly demeanor en-
deared him to all who came in contact

with him, and his early death is sincerely
mourned by a large circle of friends. He
was 36 years of age and had not mar-
ried.

Funeral services were held Monday aft-
ernoon, September 14, from the chapel
of Newton cemetery, when many of his
old friends in the Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club attended. The attendance
would have been much larger had it been
possible to get adequate notices to the
membership in time. W. N. Craig.

Charles E. Richardson.

Charles E. Bichardson, for sixteen
years treasurer of the Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society, died September 14 at
his home in Brookline, Mass. He was 72
years of age and well known among those
who attended the meetings and exhibi-
tions at Horticultural hall, Boston. He
held office up to 1906. The funeral was
held September 16 and largely attended.

ST. PAUL.

The Market.

The weather last week was the wann-
est of the year. A big cut of roses
has accordingly resulted. Carnations are
also coming in a little more freely, as
well as asters and other outside stock.
While trade has been excellent, still the
supply has kept ahead of the demand.

Various Notes.

The St. Paul Dispatch gave an aster
and dahlia exhibition last week, for
amateurs. This brought out a number
of contestants and there was keen rivalry
in some classes. Some fine flowers were
shown and a much needed interest evoked
in this class of flowers. The judges were
Mrs. A. S. Swanson, O. J. Olson and
Mr. Mather, of L. L. May & Co. This
is the third flower exhibit of the sum-
mer given by this paper, which is to be
commended for its enterprise in pro-
moting them.

J. J. Karins, of H. A. Dreer's, and
C. S. Ford, of Philadelphia, were callers.

Holm & Olson are showing some fine
white chrysanthemums. They are the
earliest ever seen in this market.

X. Y. Z.

BOZEMAN, MONT.

The writer has traveled through all the
principal cities in the United States, but
has failed to find a place where they can
grow sweet peas as good as in Bozeman.

On a visit to M. Langohr, on South
Tracy street, I found an up-to-date
place of eight greenhouses. Three houses
are planted -to carnations, one to roses,
Bride, Maid, Gate and Eichmond, one
to mums and the others are in violets
and general plants. Mr. Langohr re-
ports business picking up, but not so
good as last summer.

W. H. Tracy & Co., Mendenhall street,
have added two houses to their plant
and are breaking ground for another
50-foot house to be built this fall. Mr.
Tracy is comparatively new in the flo-
rists' business, having started about
three ye&rs ago on a small scale. He has
now got about 8,000 feet of glass plant-
ed to carnations, mums, asparagus and
general greenhouse stock. This firm also
has a large mail-order business.

Courtesy is one of the best business
assets. The ability to give an unwel-
come answer in a way to avoid offense
cams many a man his living.

A FiiORiST who has been making
changes to modernize his place this sum-
mer writes : ' ' One has no idea what
an improvement cement walks make in
a greenhouse till he tries them. ' '

Fifty cents will pay for enough print-
ed letter-heads to last the average grower
half a season, yet many still send or-
ders to liouses that do not know them,
written on "any old thing" in the way
of letter paper.

Don 't be a kicker. If you have a
reasonable complaint to make, by all
means make it, but use temperate lan-
guage; to overdo your protest is to arouse
anger and lessen the chances of prompt
and satisfactory adjustment.

Be a good collector. One of the evils
of the flower business is its lax credits.
Do your part toward working the whole
trade onto a better footing by collect-
ing your own bills when due and meet-
ing your own obligations promptly.

The gate receipts for the recent two
days' flower show at Shrewsbury, Eng-
land, described by C. H. Totty in the
Review for September 3, were $15,040,
and this was $2,390 less than the re-
ceipts for two days in 1907, due to rain.

The business conditions of the year
last past have proved conclusively that
flowers are no longer considered a lux-
ury, at least by a goodly proportion of
the people. It has demonstrated that
the flower business is on a solid, per-
manent footing.

The premium list has been issued for
the exhibition of the American Institute
at the Berkeley Lyceum, New York,
November 11 to 13. The prizes are lib-
eral. Copies may be had by those inter-
ested by addressing W. A. Eagleson, sec-
retary of the board of managers, 19
West Forty- fourth street, New York city.

It is not so much what you grow as
how well you grow it that counts.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

More Special Premiums.

Several special premiums have been
offered since the publication of the pre-
liminary premium list for the national
flower show. Through Charles H. Totty,
of Madison, N. J., W. Wells, of Merstham,
England, offers a gold, a silver and a
bronze medal for six flowers of W. M.
Moir chrysanthemum, to be shown in one
vase on stems two and a half feet long.
J. A. Peterson offers for the best five
plants of Begonia Agatha, $25. The
S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia,
offers a cup for the best bride's bouquet
of which the main feature shall be lily of
the valley and white orchids, or all
lily of the valley, with the usual shower
trimmings, ribbon, etc.

It is urgently requested that all firms
and individuals who contemplate offering
special premiums communicate at once
with the secretary, in order that their
offers may be included in the final issue
of the premium list, which will go to
press in about two weeks.

It is requested by the premium com-
mittee that any new special premiums
be offered for classes which appear in
the premium list already published,
rather than for a new class.

J. H. Burdett, Sec'y.

No Trade Exiiibition.

It was suggested to the national flower
show subcommittee on local manage-
ment that a trade exhibition of sup-
plies, heating and ventilating apparatus,
greenhouse construction materials, etc.,
would interest many trade visitors at the
November show, and accordingly on Aur
gust 29 letters, inclosing postal cards
for reply, were addressed to ninety-five
exhibitors at previous trade exhibitions
held in connection with the annual con-
ventions of the S. A. F. Forty-four re-
plies were received up to September 7,
inclusive. Thirteen of the replies were
in favor of such a trade exhibition,
eighteen opposed to it and thirteen un-
decided. The subcommittee, at a meet-
ing held September 7, therefore decided
not to take up the project.

INSURANCE ON BULBS.

Please give us the following informa-
tion: Is there a place in the country
where we could insure bulbs and roots
when stored inside of a building? We
have tried fire insurance companies, but
they decline to take this class of goods
for insurance. We shall thank you for
any information you can give us.

Deerfield, 111. Feanken Bros.

ISMENE CALATHINA.

An English writer says that it does
not seem to be generally known that Is-
mene calathina is improved in health by
being planted outdoors after flowering,
where it should remain till frost destroys
the leaves. The bulbs should then be
lifted and placed under the stage in a
warm house and kept dry. By this meth-
od of treatment the bulbs increase in
size and vigor, and develop two or three
flower-spikes. As these develop early,
the bulb would, in any case, be greatly
weakened if it were dried off immediately
after flowering.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market suffered a relapse to mid-
summer last week, for there were four
days in succession with temperatures 90
degrees or above. The result was a
large increase in supplies and the in-
evitable falling off in demand. Also, the
quality of stock suffered greatly and
it was difficult to find satisfactory ma-
terial with which to take care of the
little business there was doing.

The greatest glut was of asters. These
came in by the wagon-load and most
of the wholesale houses were choked with
the accumulation before the end of the
week was reached. Only a small part
of the stock was really first-class, and
there was good sale for any stock worth
2 cents to 3 cents, while buyers would
not stop to look at asters offered at
from $1 per hundred to as low as the
buyer cared to make the price. Ridicu-
lous quotations were heard and the ma-
jority of the stock was jobbed off at
a few dollars per table, or ice-box, or

whatever the receptacle might be. There
was, of course, a large percentage of
waste, and returns to the growers were
small indeed.

Roses also came in heavily, and the
heat deprived them of the good quality
recently noted. Under the influence of
the hot weather, each day 's receipts were
of wide open stock, which was practi-
cally unsalable. The few good, tight
roses sold well. More mildew is no-
ticed than for a long time, weather
conditions seeming specially favorable
for this affliction of the growers.

The present week sees slight improve-
ment, but with a few days of cool
weather much better things are looked
for. The receipts of asters are not so
heavy, although there continue to be
great oversupplies of the poorest grades.
Gladioli also are overabundant and there
are unsalable dahlias, for this latter
flower never goes any too well in this
market.

Carnations are coming in more heavily
every day, but a considerable part of
the receipts might better not be shipped
to town. The discolored whites are not

salable, and little or nothing can be done
with the stock with stems three or four
inches long. There is a good market for
the best grades of carnations, and En-
chantress is seen with stems a foot or
more in length; but not enough of this
grade to go around.

Chrysanthemums are seldom seen, the
supply as yet being only enough to take
care of advance orders, but before the
end of this week daily shipments are
promised by a number of growers.

The market for green goods is looking
up; the fall openings and the weddings
make a demand for strings of asparagus
and smilax.

Winterson'c Asters.

It is probable that the E. F. Winter-
son Co. had more asters on hand Satur-
day morning, September 12, than evel
had been seen at one time in any whole-
sale house in this market. E. F. Win-
terson estimated the lot at from 85,000
to 90,000, mostly the receipts of Fri-
day, but partly the accumulation from
earlier in the week. Large consign-
ments were received from as far away as

Plant for FaU Show.

There was a joint meeting at the Union
restaurant, September 11, of the recep-
tion committee for the national flower
show and the entertainment committee
of the Florists' Club. Subject to the ap-
proval of the club at a special meeting
of the club to be held September 18,
it was decided to hold the annual ban-
quet at 6 p. m., Tuesday, November 10,
and to invite visiting ladies to attend.
Chairman August Poehlmann appointed
a banquet committee, as follows: P. J.
Foley, chairman; Leonard Kill, C. Frau-
enfelder, C. Cropp, Wm. Kroeschell, C.
A. Samuelson, D. A. Robertson, M. Bark-
er, C. L. Washburn, Walter Scott, Ed.
Enders, John Zech, T. E. Waters, E. F.
Winterson, C. W. McKellar. A commit-
tee on hotel headquarters was appointed
as follows: F. Lautenschlager, chair-
man; N. J. Rupp, J. B. Deamud, Ed.
Hauswirth, W. O. Johnson. A committee
to publish a pamphlet of information is
M. Barker and T. E. Waters.

The executive committee of the na-
tional flower show will be held here Sep-
tember 18.

Varioos Notes.

Fred Weber tells E. C. Amling that his
Beauties never were so promising as at
the present time. Mr. Amling says
there is a brisk sale for the stock now
being cut from the four large houses.

C. L. Washburn and his son, E. B.
Washburn, are hunting in the woods of
northern Wisconsin this week.

It is reported that on the night of Sep-
tember 10 fire threatened the summer
homes of the Chicago colony at Silver
Lake, Wis., where the family of E. Wien-

hoeber is staying. The summer visitors
formed a bucket brigade and by hard
work saved the cottages.

C. M. Dickinson, of E.^. Hunt's, re-
ports that the Poehlmann Bros. Co. is
now at work erecting concrete benches
of the Wittbold one-piece pattern. Au-
gust Poehlmann is on record as being of
the opinion that wood benches will short-
ly be displaced by concrete in all up-to-
date establishments.

It is reported that a number of grow-
ers at Bowmanville have come to the
conclusion that real estate there is too
valuable for greenhouse purposes, and
that within the next few years there
will be a quite general removal of the
plants to a location farther from the
city.

D. E. Freres has opened in the Flower
Growers' market and is handling some
good stock.

Scheiden & Schoos, in the Flower Grow-
ers' market, are receiving consignments
of asters from White Bros., Gasport,
N. Y.

Fred Schram was in town September
14, well tanned up as a result of six
weeks' steady work with the carnations.
He says little stock is yet being cut at
Park Ridge, but that the growers there
are all in good shape, with the stock in
the houses looking better than it usually
does at this date.

Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving quan-
tities of dahlias from Michigan, but
they are not selling nearly so well as the
same stock did last year.

Joe Dunn is spending his vacation at
Shelby, Ind., and Phil Schupp and Harry
Manheim spent Sunday and Monday with
him, fishing.

The E. F. Winterson Co. received a
car of Dutch bulbs September 14.

people, from 100 to 300 a day, and they

one of the handsomest in that section of
the city.

Schiller's west side store, originally
planned as a building of one story, ex-
clusively for the florists' business, is
being completed as a two-story build-
ing. The upper story is to be used
as a free reading room by the Christian
Scientists, and it is being arranged to
meet their requirements.

A study of the rose show report in-
dicates that the show of itself was a
financial success, clearing $71, but the
entertainment was otherwise unprovided
for and caused the loss.

The contributors to the San Francisco
relief fund have received a statement
showing that seventy-five per cent is
returnable to them. Many have directed

the secretary to turn their share into
the Florists' Club's treasury.

One of the well-liked young men in the
market is Frank Hagen, of George Kein-
berg's store force. He has the sympathy
of everyone in the death of his mother,
which occurred September 14. She was
70 years of age and one of the oldest
residents of Bowmanville. She was well
known to most of the florists in that sec-
tion. The funeral was held September
16, with interment at Eose Hill.

State of Trade*

Not only one, but all of our local flo-
rists are complaining of dull business for
the last week. There was plenty of stock,
but no demand for it. Only a few fu-
neral orders here and there keep a por-
tion of the stock moving from day to
day. Roses can be had in any quantity,
and they are good. Carnations, as yet,
are not any too plentiful, but there is
enough to supply the present demand.
Asters can still be found, but the quality
is not the best.

The drought is becoming a gen-
eral topic for discussion. Not a drop
of rain has fallen in the last month.
Everything is drying up.

trees, ferns, etc., which were artistically
arranged in a pyramid in the center of
the exhibition building. Among the sev-
eral prizes this company captured, one
was first premium for general display and
first for table decoration. H. H. Bitter's
display of various decorative plants was
handsomely arranged. Among his many
premiums was the first prize for cut
flower collection. The Advance Floral
Co. also had a fine array of plants and
cut flowers and won first premium on bed-

WASHINGTON.

State of Business.

Business has been anything but good
and there is an abundance of stock, roses
especially. The opening of the schools
will help some, especially the many young
ladies' seminaries around Washington.
They cut quite a figure in the cut flower
business. Most of them open October 1.
The public schools open September 21.
A new crop of roses is now coming in.
Bride, Maid, Killarney and My Maryland
are much better and have fairly good
stems. Carnations are still short-stemmed
and not much in demand.

Variotss Notes.

Gude Bros, are cutting some fine Beau-
ties for this season of the year.

A look in at F. H. Kramer's F street
store found him picking out the good
points of a bunch of seedlings he had
just received from his Anacostia plant.

Among the best was a pink sport of
Richmond and a large shell-pink on the
order pf his Queen Beatrice but much
lighter in color. He also had a fairly
good vase of Rhea Reid and a vase of
the yellow rose he exhibited at the show
last year; he calls it Kramer's Pet.

Violets made their debut last week at
Gudes'. They were the single variety.

Theo. Dietrich, who has grown violets
successfully for years, says his double
violet crop is a total failure this year.
He will commence to throw them out this
week and get the houses ready for other
stock. His single crop never was better.

Miss Ballenger, of the Washington Flo-
rists Co., has returned from her outing
in Maryland.

Mr. Prichard, of Gudes', is back at the
old stand.

H. Gottenkieng, of Gudes', is off on
a two weeks' gunning expedition. Miss
Brueninger, Gudes' bookkeeper, is off to
the seashore for a couple of weeks.

Geo. A. Comley is putting in a twelve
horse-power boiler at his plant at Do-
minion Heights, Va.

G. A. Phillips opened his Fourteenth
street store September 15. He has been

experimenting with some glass -at his
country home at Hyattsville, Md.

E G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., is in
town this week. O. O.

NEW BEDFORD. MASS.

There is little doing here in the way of
cut flower sales, but funeral work is
heavy and there are plenty of asters to
do it with. A few carnations are to be
seen, but stems are short. Roses are im-
proving.

September 13 was Flower Sunday. The
cemetery board sent out thousands of
postals to grave owners, and there was
a fairly good demand for cut stock, al-
though many relied on their gardens.

The New Bedford Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual exhibition September
10 to 12. There were some fine dahlias
on exhibition and John Lewis Childs,
of Floral Park, N. Y., made an excel-
lent display of gladioli.

Ashley & Henberger are growing only
the newer sorts of carnations this sea-
son, and the stock looks well.

William Mosher will be strong on vio-
lets this year. He reports a good call
for Flower Sunday W. L.

NEW YORK.

The Market

It was a non-inspiring condition that
prevailed throughout last week and quan-
tities of the commoner grades of asters
and roses were unsalable. Every farmer
within a hundred miles of New Yotk
seems to be growing asters, just as every-
body around Rhinebeck has felt the call
to grow violets. Now that the building
of violet houses has largely ceased, and
many of the growers have rested on their
oars, we may see the violet rearing its
head again and better values prevail.
Charles Schenck reminded me of the days
away back when he sold them at whole-
sale for $4.50 per hundred. But that
was nearly twenty years ago. Last week
the shipments began, small in number
and smaller in size. Nobody wanted them.
Far better keep them away until they are
worth while. Their coming now only
serves to cheapen them and demoralize
the future market.

The weather is again summer-like, too
warm for roses, but carnations have won-
derfully improved. The theaters are
using many American Beauties. Every
first night sees lobby and stage loaded
with baskets and bunches of them for
the popular stars. The orchid is now
entering the stadium, in the Marathon
race of the flowers, ^nd there is no
doubt where it will be at the tape.
Where do all the gladioli come from? The
new varieties, and America, are superb.
Most of the stock arriving is above the
average this year. It is well worth the
trip to Berlin or Floral Park to see the
acres of color of the largest of the
growers. Some fine cosmos is arriving.
The water lily windows are attractive,
especially Small's, on Broadway, with
its fountain playing, its water plants
and grand lily stock in great variety.
A crowd may be seen admiring the artis-
tic and beautiful exhibit constantly.

The closing of the Coney Island and
other watering center seasons next Satur-
day will bring our friends, the sidewalk
merchants, back to tackle the surplus
and save from the debris much that
now goes to waste.

Qub Meeting.

Seventy-five enthusiastic members at-
tended the first fall meeting of the New
York Florists' Club, with President
Weathered in the chair. Mr. O'Mara re-
ported for the transportation committee.
For the outing committee Chairman
Marshall announced an outlay of $1,161
and a profit for the club's exchequer of
$30. It was decided that the surplus
should be retained as a separate fund for
outing purposes.

These Are the Little Liners That Do the Business

Resolutions on the death of James
Shanley were read by Secretary Young.

J. J. Coan was elected to membership
and Ambrose Cleary and L. W. Kervan
were nominated. The resignations of
George M. Geraghty, George A. Skene
and Robert C. Pye were accepted with
regret.

A letter from David Fraaer, secretary
of the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer-
ica, in behalf of closer relations with the
club, was read and referred to the trus-
tees for report at the next meeting.

Benjamin Hammond, of Fishkill, de-
livered an interesting lecture on "School
Gardens. ' ' He gave many personal ex-
periences and referred especially to the
potency of the public schools in the for-
mation of character and the value and
necessity of ample playgrounds in behalf
of the physical health of the children.

The transportation committee received
a hint as to the possible need of special
rates for the national flower show at Chi-
cago. New York will probably send you
twenty visitors.

Committees were appointed to draw up
resolutions on the deaths of Alexander
Wallace and David Rose.

The shield won by the bowlers was on
exhibition.

It was announced that Antoine Wint-

zer, of West Grove, Pa., will lecture at
the October meeting on "Clematis and
Other Hardy Vines. ' '

Mr. Hendrickson, with John Lewis
Childs, exhibited a grand vase of Gladio-
lus America, which was awarded a cer-
tificate of merit. Fred Hollender, of
Ozone Park, showed Dahlias Bill Taft,
Jupiter, Grand Duke and Glory de Lyons
and received the club's thanks. A. L.
Miller showed grand stock of Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria and Firerain dahlias,
and these, having already won the so-
ciety's certificates, were awarded the
thanks of the club.

J. C. Spencer, of Utica, was a visitor.

F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, made a
striking plea in behalf of the fall show
of the New York Horticultural Society.
The trustees have given the museum for
the exhibition free and no entrance fee
will be charged visitors. Premiums for
the retailers will be a special feature.
Mr. Totty regretted the lateness of the
date, because of the passing of many of
the best chrysanthemums. Mr. Marshall
suggested prizes attractive to the market
gardeners. Mr. O'Mara spoke of the
educational character of the proposed ex-
hibition and the great attendance prob-
able.

the committee and the club for its loyal
devotion. Mr. O'Mara said it was the
best convention the society had ever en-
joyed. As to bowling, Joseph Manda ex-
plained why the first prize did not come
to New York, giving credit to those who
kept their nerve and so nearly won the
highest honors.

Various Notes.

These are the days of horticultural
fairs and the Saengerbund in Brooklyn,
and the Richmond company show on
Staten Island last week beat all records
for attendance and display. Bobbink &
Atkins, Stumpp & Walter Co., and J. L.
•Childs were much in e%'idence. Harry
Bunyard is visiting his parents in Eng-
land, with his wife, the first visit since
he came to this country. Meantime Mr.
Boddington and his force are working
nights, and the fall rush is on in earnest.
The seedsmen and the bulb men are all
busy and say the outlook was never
better.

The clam bake^of the New York and
New Jersey Association of Plant Growers,
September 15, was a great success. Fully
100 were present and Chairman Miller's
management caused everything to pass
oflf most pleasantly. There were a num-
ber of special events on the program for
which prizes were offered, and dancing
was continued until a late hour.

The Horticultural Society of New York
completed arrangements last week for a
flower show at the Museum of Natural
History, Columbus avenue and Seventy-
ninth street, November 17 to 19. With
the interest taken in this exhibition by
the New York Florists' Club, and the
splendid building and locality chosen,
an old-time success may once more be
possible.

A new firm was established last week,
Blauvelt & Dicrks, at 50 West Twen-
ty-ninth street, and Lexington avenue and
Eighty-sixth street. The latter store was
opened Tuesday, September 15. Mr.
Dierks was with A. Warendorff for some
time. Both are practical men, and the
new store on Lexington avenue is in a
fine locality. Mr. Blauvelt says they will
do both a wholesale and retail business.

The Starke Co., Inc., is established, with
Edward Schumacher president, John Kes-

of the Bowery. The conservatory at 52

West Twenty-ninth street is already well
stocked with palms and ferns.

Richard Walsh, for some fourteen years
with Mansfield, opens his new retail store
this week at Eighty-third street and Lex-
ington avenue. If new stores are straws
showing the blow of the wind, there
seems to be no lack of enterprise and
faith in the future.

Miss A. Levitt, bookkeeper for Joseph
A. Fenrich for four years, has accepted
a similar position with A. J. Guttman.

Burnett Bros, are moving this week to
72 Cortlandt street, a splendid location,
close to the ferry and handy for their
Jersey suburban customers. The new
store is much larger than their old one
on West street. George A. and Samuel

Mrs. Frank Millang met with a severe

PHILADELPHIA.

The Risine Eastern Market.

There is a slight improvement in the
cut flower market, although conditions are
far from favorable. The quantity of
poor flowers and of outdoor flowers flood-
ing the market is so large that it is im-
possible to find an outlet for nearly all
of them. Really choice stock is in fair
demand. Beauties are and have been
selling as well as any flowers on the list.
Cattleya labiata has made its appearance
in sufficient quantities to warrant a re-
duction in price, and from now on buyers
are reasonably secure in placing their or-
ders at listed quotations, which are one-
third below those of a week ago. Valley
is fine, but not in demand.

Carnations are beginning to merit the
name. Enchantress and Boston Market
being obtainable in sufficient quantities
to mention. Asters are slightly on the
wane, but they are far more plentiful
than was anticipated a week ago, and
prices have not stiffened in the least.
Dahlias are arriving in larger quantities.
There is some demand for the really fine
sorts, such as Kriemhilde, Lyndhurst,
and^others. Hydrangeas are beautifully
coloi^d, and for these there is this week
an outlet in some of the department store
fall openings, which, while only of mod-
erate dimensions so far, have a slight
effect on the market.

Violets have made their appearance.
A few singles are seen in the commission
houses, but they are not yet up to ship-
ping requirements.

Edward Rdd Takes Issue With Phil.

Edward Reid, the well-known wholesale
florist of this city, takes exception to the
views expressed in this column last week
under the head of * ' Mr. Guille 's Visit. ' '
The part of the article to which Mr. Reid
excepts is the statement that the law of
supply and demand regulates the produc-
tion of cut flowers. Mr. Reid asserts
that the production of cut flowers "under
glass should be protected from the unfair
competition of outdoor-grown stock, just
as our products in this country are pro-
tected by a tariff from the unfair com-
petition of cheaply produced foreign
goods. Mr. Reid says that the grower
who has the courage and enterprise to
erect glass houses and heat them with ex-
pensive fuel merits the protection of pub-
lic sentiment against the inroads of
cheaply grown outdoor stock from a
warmer clime. Mr. Reid says that there
can be no question that the indoor-grown
products would bring better prices were
outdoor flowers out of the way, and that
he, as a wholesaler, who wishes to protect
the interests of his growers, will discour-
age to the utmost of his ability the
dumping of outdoor-grown flowers on this
market.

Founders' Week.

As everybody knows, this city will be
the scene of great outdoor celebration
during Founders' Week, October 5 to 10.
It is of interest to note that among the
many floats being prepared for the pa-
rade during that celebration there is one,
at least, of special interest to florists.

CIAA

Hardy Phloxes.

George A. Strohlein, Riverton, N. J.,
honored Phil with an invitation a few
days ago. The invitation ran something
like this: "Will you come down to
Eiverton to see our hardy phloxes? Mr.
Sim and I will be glad to meet you at
the station and drive you over to Locust
Farm." A chance like this was certainly
not to be missed and the invitation
promptly was accepted. On the day ap-
pointed Mr. Strohlein, accompanied by
Mr. Sim, met the Philadelphia train at
Riverton early in the afternoon with a
trap. There were some joking allusions
on the part of the hosts to a .lonah, ow-
ing to the fact that it had rained con-
tinually during the preceding night, and
as everybody knows, it is not conducive
to bringing out the colors of hardy
phlox or, in fact, any other colors. The
weather clearefl, however, soon after, and
by the time the fields of phloxes were
reached the sun was shining, bringing
out the colors nicely.

These fields of phloxes arc certainly
worth going a long way to see. Fancy

row after row of plants covered with
bloom, each variety filling one or more
rows of 1,000 plants to a row. Then
fancy 300 or more rows ablaze with
color, and you have the phlox fields of
Henry A. Dreer's Locust Farm, near
Riverton.

Two hours were spent going back and
forth through the rows — hours that
passed so quickly under the guidance of
Harry C. Sim, who has charge of these
fields, that the time seemed too short.
Mr. Strohlein commended highly the
work of the German hybridizers, who
have given us some surprisingly fine
varieties of hardy phlox. The novelties
under trial this year show a more decided
step in advance than for several years.
Nearly all appeared to be self colors,
bright and clear. The colors were more
like those seen in Azalea Indica, or in
well grown hydrangeas, than are usually
seen in plants of this class.

The most striking novelty Mr. Sim
pointed out was the new variety George
A. Strohlein, an orange-scarlet with large
flowers somewhat resembling the ordinary
variety t'oquelicot, although not of that
strain. The naming of this variety was
interesting. Mr. Strohlein Vas in Ger-
many a few years ago, when the grower
on whom he called asked him to pick out
the handsomest of his seedlings. The
visitor pointed out the variety in ques-
tion, whereupon his host at once named
it George A. Strohlein; the appearance
of this variety fully justifies Mr. Stroh-
lein's belief in its merit.

At the other end of the field from
George A. Strohlein was Sieboldi, a va-
riety strongly resembling it, the flowers
' being so t-losely alike that a comparison

is necessary to all but the practiced eye.
Unlike George A. Strohlein, Sieboldi is
of Coquelicot strain. While the indi-
vidual trusses are not so large, it is of
stronger habit and freer blooming.

Among the whites, Mrs. Jenkins still
holds first place; it is large flowered,
free blooming, improving in both qual-
ities the second year. F. C. Von Las-
burg, the purest white, is a close second,
but, unlike Mrs. Jenkins, the flowers at-
tain full size the first year. Jeanne d'
Arc is a beautiful white, dwarf and com-
pact, an important Riverton strain of
this variety, unlike the original blooms
the first year.

Mauve is a leading color in phloxes.
An important German acquisition to this
class, with a ferocious sounding name, is
Gruppenkonigin, translated Queen of the
Bedders. This variety bids fair to be-
come the standard in its class. La Vague
is also mauve of attractive shade.

In soft ])ink Elizabeth Campbell is
pretty. Vesuvius, bright red, a Dreer
introduction, is strong, vigorous and full
of promise.

The completo list of standard and
novel sorts grown in quantity would cover
perhaps sixty or more varieties, the
cream of the European and American
sorts, all meritorious. Their season in
this latitude lasts for perhaps eight
weeks, from mid-July until early in Sep-
tember. The majority of the varieties
are classed as mid-season, coming into
bloom hereabouts during the first week
in August. A few are earlier, a few
later.

The interest in phloxes has reached the
point where nearly all buyers want va-
rieties that will bloom at the same time

Howard W. Garrett opened a retail

Edward J. Fancourt left for the west
on Tuesday.

Emil H. Geschick says that at the
Leipsic Palm Garden flower show, held in
the end of July, the handsomest bed of
roses was planted with one-third each
Richmond, Etoile de France, and Liberty ;
and Richmond, the American rose, was
by far the most free blooming rose in
the whole garden.

Richard Umphried says that the qual-
ity of the roses grown in the south of
France, outdoors, and sold in the markets
of Stuttgart and Bremen during the sum-
mer, fully equals that of our own grown'
under glass and sold here during the
same period of the year. Long stems
are not so much desired, stems fifteen
inches in length being considered suffi-
cient.

The Market.

Business does not show much improve-
ment, in spite of the fact that most
of the flower buyers are at home again
and that there have been several funerals
which ought to have used up a large
quantity of flowers. As it turned out, the
demand was light and only now and then
was there anything which looked like real
business.

Roses continue to arrive in large quan-
tities and to sell slowly. The hot weather
of the last few days has given them a
back-set and the quality is below par.
The buds are small and they do not keep
well. Beauties are in good supply and
sell better than other varieties, but that
is not saying much. Carnations are ar-
riving in larger quantities, but you can-
not place much dependence on them as
yet. They keep poorly and sell likewise.
Asters continue to arrive heavily. There
is no lack of them in any color; they
are almost a glut. Gladioli are doing
fairly well and so are dahlias. Cosmos
fills the want for something cheap.

Various Notes.

Still no rain. One grower told me that
there has not been what one would call
a good rain at his locality since May
23. This has been the driest summer
we have experienced for years and it has
done untold damage to the crops of

A beautiful showy McCray bullt-to-order of quartered

oak with beveled mirror and galvanized Iron

drawers beneath for mosses, etc.

A Particular Refrigerator For Florists

is the McCray — built of carefully tested materials, and with the best
svstem of circulation of fresh, cold air, cooling all parts of the interior
thoroughly and evenly. A small amount of ice does a great amount of
cooling. It saves ice which eventually pays for the McCray itself.
The constant circulation of dry, cold, pure air in the inside keeps
the flowers and stock in a fresh, perfect and fragrant condition.

yCcCtay l^igerators

are beautiful in finish, and substantial and durable in construction.
They give an air of elegance to your store. They are lined with
white enamel, or can be had with mirrors, tile, opal glass or marble
interiors, to suit your taste.

McCray Florists' Refrigerators are made in a wide range of
regular sizes for immediate shipment, or can be built to order for any
requirement. There are no other refrigerators on the market which
do better work for the florists, or are better made than the McCray.

Send for Catalog No. 71, which gives you all the
details of this tnagniScent line of refrigerators,
and will help you make the proper selection.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Ctirrent Comment.

The parade of the Portuguese Frater-
nal Association September 6 was notable
for the large number of floral designs
shown; it is estimated that there were
more than $2,500 worth of bouquets and
desigfns carried. An immense floral rep-
lica of th^ Old Stone Mill of Newport
was carried by one of the Newport so-
cieties. It was made by F. L. Ziegler,
of Newport. Another of the conspicuous
displays was by Providence, at the head
of whose line marched seven men, each
bearing an immense floral letter, about
thirty inches high, spelling the word,
"Welcome." The letters were of roses,
made by Swan Peterson.

William B. Hazard, of Providence, has
returned from a vacation on Long Island.

William Tarbox, of West Greenwich,
reports that his crop of dahlias and
asters is better this year than ever. He
is cutting an average of 3,000 asters
every morning. The honor of being
judge at the dahlia show in Boston, Sep-
tember 15 to 19, has been conferred
upon him.

Farquhar Fraser is now located at the
post-office building, Riverpoint, with a

Rhode Island Florists' and Gardeners'
Club will be held September 21.

F. L. Ziegler, Newport, has been espe-
cially busy on decorative work recently,
for dinners, luncheons and receptions. A
noticeable piece was an immense floral
horseshoe, with jockey's cap and whip,
in carnations, roses and orchids, which
was shown at the big annual horse show.

Edwin J. Collamore has been appointed
a member of the Prohibition State Cen-
tral Committee.

vailing in the wild rice fields. The de-

they do not expect to be able to fill all
the orders they will receive. They re-
cently have issued a neat little booklet,
entitled "Wild Kice," which ought to

The creditors of the St. Louis Seed
Co., St. Louis, Mo., have received notice
that the company was adjudged bank-
rupt September 9 and that a meeting
of the creditors is to be held September
22, following the usual legal form. Wal-
ter Eetzer, an officer of the company,
while at Chicago this week, stated that
a large majority of the creditors have
accepted the company's offer to com-
promise through the payment of 33^
cents on the dollar and that it is expected
to be in a position early in October
to go ahead with the reorganized busi-
ness, with larger capital than before.

LEONARDS BRANCH OUT.

O. L. Daily, formerly the mimager of
the Canadian branch of the Cleveland
Seed Co., is now with the Leonard Seed
Co., Chicago.

Mr. Daily, whose portrait appears
herewith, is one of the best posted men
on peas and beans in the country, having
had thirty-five years' continuous service
with the Cleveland Seed Co., first with
the elder Cleveland, who, with Mr.
Daily's help, worked up and put on
the market the Alaska pea; then, after
the father's death, with the son, A. B.
Cleveland, until he discontinued the seed
business, and up to June 1 of the present
year with the new Cleveland Seed Co.

In the thirty-five years vdth the Cleve-
lands he had the growing, handling and
picking of many thousands of bushels of
choice stocks, and knows what such
stocks should be. No one knows what
an Alaska should be better than he, as
he helped originate it. Mr. Daily also
has to his credit the Eclipse or Surprise
pea, which he worked up from a single
pod found among some growing trials
at Picton.

Mr. Daily has charge of the field work,

as well as the picking of stocks, for the

the roguing of seed stocks this summer
for them.

In addition to acquiring the services
of Mr. Daily, it is understood that the
Leonard Seed Co. contemplates building
elevators and cleaning warehouses at all
of their large growing stations, and are
already at work at two points.

MICHIGAN PEA AND BEAN CROPS.

W. H. Grenell, Saginaw, Mich., wrote
September 11 : " We had a rainy spring
and the driest summer I ever experienced,
so that the pea crop is short; it will not
average over fifty per cent. The in-
clement weather has, of course, also
affected the bean crop. Until recently
the prospect was for a fair crop, but two
heavy frosts have killed a good many

NEBRASKA SEED CROPS.

J. C, Robinson, Waterloo, Neb., set
down the following summary of the
condition of seed crops in his territory
September 11:

"The cantaloupe and cucumber crops
in eastern Nebraska are a total failure.
In the Waterloo district there will not be
a pound of seed harvested. In the cen-
tral and western part of the state there
will be a few crops that will make from
twenty-five to seventy-five pounds of cu-
cumber seed to the acre.

"Few watermelons are grown in the
immediate vicinity of Waterloo, owing
to the low price at which they have been
selling. Our watermelon district will
give us some seed of this class.

* * The squash crop will be light, as well
as pumpkins, but there will be some crop.

"Corn of all kinds, including sweet,
flint and dent varieties, will average
about seventy-five per cent of a normal
crop. Some varieties will be filled in
full, while the delivery on others will
fall as low as twenty-five per cent. The

WM. EMERSON'S VIEW.

William Emerson, manager of the
Western Seed and Irrigation Co., Fre-
mont, Neb., writes in part as follows,
September 14 : * * We can not give actual
figures on crop conditions just at this
time. The different localities in Ne-
braska where different growers have
sweet corn grown are subject to different
conditions, and the character of the soil
and position of the farms vary to a large
extent. It is therefore easy to under-
stand that the reports from the different

rieties will be total failures, while others
will range from fifty to seventy-five per
cent.

"The field corn crops also vary, and
we expect to be short in filling some va-
rieties of flint corn, but hope to make
fair deliveries of nearly all varieties.
^The same conditions will apply to White
and Yellow Dent varieties of field corn.

"The vine seeds, especially cucumber,
muskmelon and watermelon, have been
seriously damaged throughout the entire
west by the excessive moisture following
the very hot weather during the latter
part of July and early part of August ;
the ground being saturated with water
becoming overheated, so as to cause
steam or vapor to rise under the vines,
causing blight and the rapid increase of
the melon aphis. Many crops have been
entirely destroyed on the above account,
while all of the crops have been more or
less damaged. It is therefore impossible
to tell just what the crops will yield on
account of the spotted condition of the
fields. A few varieties will be total fail-
ures, and others will range from twenty-
five to fifty per cent of an average yield,
and in a few cases possibly sixty to sev-
enty-five per cent.

"The pumpkin and squash are some-
what better, but we have lost a few crops
of some varieties by floods and damage
by the striped beetle when too late to
replant."

ONION SETS.

Beferring to onion sets at Chillicothe,
p., Siehilder Bros, writ* as follows, un-
der date of September 12:

"The set crop here is short of last
season — perhaps ten per cent short — but
quality very good; they are keeping
nicely. The acreage was a little larger.
The actual yield was about fifteen per
cent smaller, but owing to the increased
acreage we should say the diflference in
bushels from last year is about ten per
cent. Demand is heavy and prices ad-
vancing. We are paying the growers
here in our neighborhood about 25 cents
more per bushel than we paid this, time
last season."

Schilder Bros, are said also to have an
interest in. some 10,000 bushels of sets
grown this season in the territory south
of Chicago.

sums up the whole onion set situation
as follows:

"Onion sets show about the same yield
in Louisville as last year. Chillicothe re-
ports eighty-five per cent of last year's
yield, and Chicago probably has more
onion sets than last year, but heavy sales
that have been made relieve the situa-
tion to such an extent that prices have
been advancing very rapidly. Prospects
seem good for a brisk, high winter and
spring market on sets."

GRASS SEED REPORT.

Gustav Schott, of Aschaffenburg, Ba-
varia, says that the greater part of the
new crop of natural grass seeds has now
been brought to market, having been har-
vested during fine weather and earlier
than usual. The yield on the whole has
not been satisfactory and proved disap-
pointing ou some kinds, which have not
seeded so well in consequence of the ear-
lier cold and rainy weather.

"Of Cynosurus eristatus (crested dogs-
tail) the acreage is larger than last sea-
son and market returns show an average
in some districts, whereas in other parts
the crop is reported short. The harvest
has been secured in excellent condition.
No stocks were on hand from last season
anywhere, but still fine seed will be sell-
ing below last year's quotations.

" Of Dactylis glomerata (cocksfoot) the
producing centers in Ne\* Zealand are
short of seed and the whole of the crop
has been absorbed by a heavy home de-
mand. There is practically none left for
export. During the mouth of June a few
small parcels were placed on the market
at high figures and as much as 98 shil-
lings per hundredweight were asked. In
the States the crop in the largest pro-
ducing districts is reported as a fairly
good one. The quality is excellent and
values followed the rising market already.
France is reporting an average crop.

* ' Of Festuca duriuscula and ovina
(hard and sheep's fescue), contrary to
expectations that prevailed early in sum-
mer and which indicated a full average
crop at that time, the yield is disappoint-
ing. It is a certainty that less seed has
been harvested than last year. Stocks
being exhausted, markets were cleared
rapidly at advancing prices. Farmers'
lots are unclean this year, being deliv-
ered in an undressed state, full of weeds,
also clovers. Machining will turn out ex-
pensive, particularly for the medium and
fancy qualities."

Of other items Alopecurus pratensis
(meadow foxtail), Avena elatior (tall oat
grass), Poa trivialis and P. pratensis
(meadow grass) are almost the only ones
on which average crops are reported.

Vegetable Forcing.

FORCING TOMATOES.

In the Beview for September 3 and
10 there appeared Prof. W. S. Blair's
account of the experiments in forcing
tomatoes at Macdonald College, Quebec,
with a description of the methods em-
ployed in starting the plants and plant-
ing the two houses employed, also a
table showing the yield, both in weight
of fruit and in money value.

Average Yield From Different Rows.

The plants in house No. 1 occupied
the central part of the house, and were
on a raised bench. In house No. 2 a
raised bench taking three rows of plants
extended along the south, west and north
sides. The south side bench is next to
a glass partition; the west and north
benches extend along the outer wall.
The bench in the central part of the
house is wide enough to take in seven
rows of plants. The sides are solid and
only ten inches high. This bench is sup-
plied with good drainage material at
the bottom. The same depth of soil was
used in this as in the other benches used.

The following table gives the average
yield of fruit per plant from rows lo-
cated at different positions in this
house :

The raised benches in this house gate
an average yield per plant of seventy-
eight ounces and the center bench an
average of ninety ounces per plant.
These two benches came into fruiting
about the same time, and the quantity
of fruit picked to July 1 averaged ap-
proximately the same per plant on the
ground bench as on the raised bench, but
the plants continued fruiting longer on
the center bench, due, no doubt, to hav-
ing more head room than those on the
side benches.

Metliod of Handling.

The variety Frogmore was selected
for use in these experiments. As al-
ready stated, the benches contained six
inches of soil. There is some little diffi-
culty in transplanting from a 6-inch
pot to this depth of soil and we think
that a 6-inch pan would suit the plant
as well, and be better for transplanting
on account of being shallower.

The plants were trained to a single
stem, and supported with No. 10 wire
stuck into the soil at one end and fast-
ened to wires running over the benches.
These supports were five and one-half
feet long. To these the plants were tied,
whenever it was necessary, with raffia.
Strong, coarse wool twine makes a good
support. This twine is tied to a wire
running across the bench below, and to
a similar wire above. The plants are
tied to this the same as where wire is
used.

The plants were trained to a single
stem by pinching off all- but the upper
or primary shoot. In pinching off the
side branches or suckers it is necessary
to go over the plant every few days, for
they make rapid growth and, unless re-
moved when small, they take consider-
able strength from the plant. When
the plants in the pots are getting large
it is advisable to use No. 10 wire, about
eighteen inches long, as a support.

Temperature and Ventilation.

The temperature was kept at 60 de-
grees during the night, and in the day-
time also, during very dull weather, the
house registered about this mark. Dur-
ing bright days the temperature would
go up to 70 or 80 degrees, according
to the day, and in the late spring some-
times to 90 degrees.

Tomatoes require plenty of fresh air
in order to make stocky, thrifty growth;
therefore particular care in ventilating is
necessary. Avoid cold draughts.

It is quite important not to water
too heavily. The soil should be thor-
oughly wet to the bottom of the benches
and kept moist, but not saturated. In
winter, two waterings per week are
usually quite sufficient. As the season
advances and the plants increase in size,
more of course will be required. Dur-
ing the early growth of the tomato the
atmosphere is better kept somewhat
moist, but a dry atmosphere is the best
for aiding in pollination and preventing
rot. The leaves of the tomato plant are
better and more healthy if not syringed
at all.

PoUination.

As already stated, tomatoes require
a dry, warm atmosphere to facilitate

pollination. The pollen is shed freely
during the middle of bright days and
it is at this time that the plants require
hand pollination. This point is a very
important one, especially in northern dis-
tricts, and unless considerable attention
is given to it, the profits from the crop
will not amount to much. Various de-
vices are used for doing this work, but
we found a rabbit's tail, tied to a short
stick, the best. With this, one can go
over the plants very rapidly and, as the
fruits were all regular and marketable,
this device evidently is one that we can
safely recommend for pollinating the
plants.

Marketing.

The bulk of our fruit was sold on
commission in Montreal. It was
shipped in three and four-pound till
boxes, four boxes to a crate. This we
found to be the best method for han-
dling this fancy fruit, and all plants
grown in greenhouses should produce
fancy stock. The three-pound till boxes
are the most convenient. The crates are
made the depth of the till boxes and
three 3-inch slats put across top and
bottom.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Septeubeb 17, 1908.

PACIFIC COAST.

Elmhurst, Cal.— E. James has bought
the interest of his partner in the firm
of Hutchins & James and will continue
the business.

Berkeley, Cal.— C. A. Hutchinson,
who has been associated with H. M.
Sanborn, has about completed one of
the most attractive and conveniently ar-
ranged flower stores in this part of the
state. The new building, which is of
the mission style of architecture, is lo-
cated on a large lot belonging to Mr.
Hutchinson, at 2315 Telegraph avenue,
which is in the heart of the business
section at Telegraph avenue and Ban-
croft way. The salesrooms and con-
servatory will be under the same roof,
but will be separated by a long, plate
glass partition.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

State of Trade.

Business in general is picking up. A
marked improvement is noted in the last
few weeks. The retailers seem to be
busy with general counter trade, there
is quite a little funeral work and all
hands are apparently fairly busy and
happy. Carnations and roses have, in
the last few weeks, improved in quality.
''^ There seems plenty on hand to go
around.

Bising & Dunscomb have moved to
more commodious quarters and are now
located on Third street, between Main
and Spring streets, in the heart of the
city. Their new location is more desir-
able in every way than the old one.

Qub Notes.

Eagles' hall has been secured as a
permanent home for the Florists' Club.
A lively but friendly discussion took
place at the last meeting between a few
of the members in regard to the "yellow
peril" proposition in the florists' busi-
ness on the Pacific coast, which seems to
all of us to be a genuine peril. They
are naturally a progressive race and
what they have learned from their white
brothers in regard to floriculture they
have put to good use, but in the writ-
er's humble opinion this generation has
little to fear on that score.

Below follows a list of the officers of
the club: President, O. C. Saakes; vice-
president. Dr. Houghten; secretary, G.
S. Dunscomb; financial secretary, H. N.
Gage; sergeant-at-arms, H. W. Turner.

DEMAND FOR ORNAMENTALS.

It is rather too soon to tell what is
going to be in demand on the Pacific
coast during the coming season, in the
line of ornamental stock. The exces-
sive dryness of last spring had the ef-
fect of curtailing greatly the late plant-
ing, and many projected improvements
have remained "in statu quo" since that
time. The nurserymen and tree growers
have large stocks on hand and every-
thing ia in readiness for a good season's
business.

The financial difficulties, according to
canvassing agents, have curtailed the
buying proclivities for almost every class
of stock, excepting such as will be planted
to obtain revenue from. I refer to fruit
trees, small fruits, etc. These will be

used heavily in certain localities, but the
range of varieties called for is limited
and planters will confine themselves al-
most entirely to well tried varieties.
Planting for speculative or experimental
purposes will not be heavily indulged in..
The planting of ornamentals in large
quantities, judging by orders booked by
several of our large nurseries, will bo
considerably less than that of last sea-
son. Smaller lists for the beautifica-
tion of city lots are about as numerous
as those of last year. G.

TheMadcct

There is no excess of fancy stock of
any kind at the present writing. Plenty
of carnations from the new plantings are
being offered to the retailers, but they
are usually short of stem. Eoses are
entirely oflf crop with everyone, and there
is a healthy demand for everything of-
fered in that line. Asters are on the
wane and the growers are gradually
raising the prices. Sweet peas hold their
own, however, although the stems are
getting shorter daily. Japanese lilies
are holding out well, but most of the
stock sent in shows the lateness of the
season. Amaryllises are practically over
for this year. Valley is ia fair supply
and moves slowly. Gladioli, except for
a few late kinds, have disappeared from

the show windows. Dahlias in the newer
colors and shapes are being used quite
freely for decorative purposes, but the
public do not buy them as freely as
the quality of the flowers warrant; prob-
ably another season will find them in
greater demand. Chrysanthemums have
not yet made their appearance, from the
outside, except in a few instances. A
fair supply of the early yellow and white
kinds is shown. They are greenhouse
grown- and cost the stores about $2.50
per dozen. Other kinds of outdoor stock
move slowly.

There is a slight increase in business
since the schools opened, and funeral
orders have been fairly active. The
weather is warmer than it was at any
time during June, July or August.

Over in Oakland and Alameda the re-
tailers have had quite a run of funeral
work and prospects are bright for the
fall trade.

this trade from their Oakland store.

G. Eossi, of G. Eossi & Bro., has tem-
porarily retired from the green goods
business and is at present interested in
general contracting for cement work.

M. W. Morse, the Piedmont florist, has

close to the Key Eoute station, Pied-
mont.

The Delger collection of greenhouse
plants has been purchased by the city of
Oakland, to be used in the city's con-
servatories.

PORTLAND, ORE.

State of Business.

There is a better tone in business cir-
cles, the last two weeks showing a healthy
revival. The fall trade is opening up
satisfactorily, which we hope is a good
sign for a prosperous winter. The first
crop of roses is in great demand, espe-
cially the whites, as September is a
month of weddings and this year is no
exception. A much needed rain the lat-
ter part of August has improved the out-
door supply of cut flowers, particularly
the asters, which are at their best. With
favorable weather we will have them and
sweet peas for a month yet. Lilium
auratum, rubrum and album are selling
well and are most useful in helping to
keep up appearances.

Various Notes.

Henry Jewell, of The Dalles, was in
town last week, buying glass and a boiler
for a greenhouse. Mr. Jewell said that
while he is not a florist, his wife and
son have excellent taste for the busi-
ness, and he is going to start them right.

We were also glad to meet Mrs. Frank
Zimmer, who succeeded the late Mrs.
Bosa Bausch, of Eugene; W. H. Morton,
of Hillsboro, and Mrs. G. A. Hannah,
of Grand Eapids, Mich., who was here
visiting her father. Jay Gould, of Kern
Park.

A half holiday on Labor day enabled
us to pay a few social debts and we de-
cided on a trip to Oregon City. The
greenhouse establishments along this car
line are becoming more numerous and our
first stop was at Meldnim station, where
George Betz & Sons built 18,000 feet of
glass last year. This, with the Williams
avenue range in Portland, makes a total
of 40,000 feet, and eight acres of ground
here gives them ample space for further
expansion. This firm expects to dis-
pose of everything at retail and has just
opened an attractive little store at 349
Morrison street, Portland.

Tbe 84tb annual convention will be held at Ro-
chester, June, 1909.

The nurserymen are beginning to get
busy with fall deliveries.

Th£ Kansas State Horticultural So-
ciety reports apples as forty-one per
cent of a full crop.

Dealers in hardy plants will be inter-
ested in the notes on phloxes in the Phila-
delphia letter this week.

Digging and shipping peonies is well
under way. There is a good volume of
business in the better sorts, but not
much doing in the cheaper varieties.

The Schroeder-Son Nursery Co., La-
fayette, Colo., writes: "Our engine
house burned down Tuesday afternoon,
September 8, and is a total loss. Our
well is also burned out eighty-two feet
in length, leaving thirty-six feet which
are not damaged, three of our largest
pumps going down in the well. The
engine and boilers were pretty well dam-
aged. The loss was fully covered by in-
surance and we started the next day to
build again."

THE PECAN IN THE NURSERY.

[A paper by R. C. Simpson, of Montlcello,
Fla., begun in the Review of September 10,
1908.]

Propagatms.

Perhaps the easiest and most certain
method of propagating the pecan is by
budding. The ordinary shield bud, which
is commonly used in working most fruit
stocks, is not successful on the pecan.
The annular bud, or some of its modifi-
cations, seems to be the most efficient
method. This ring bud usually entirely
encircles the stock, but if the tree is
large it may go only part-way around
and do just as well. The buds are tied
with waxed cloth and usually by the bud-
der himself, as he wishes to leave the
bud exposed to the air as short a time as
possible. The wraps should come off
in fourteen to eighteen days.

If the budding has been done early in
the season the buds should be forced out;
if done late in the summer they should
be left dormant. We find one of the
best Mays to start the bud is by cutting
the top about half off or brea"king it
over; then, as soon as the bud breaks,
make the second cut just over the bulge
above the top ring. If the stock is cut
off at the bud at first, it is apt to bleed
considerablj'.

At Montirello the budding season lasts
from June until September and occa-
sionally into October. Grafting can be
successfully done from the first part of
December until the first part of March.
As spring budding is also practiced to
some extent in April and chip budding
in March and April, it is seen that propa-
gation may go on almost throughout the
entire year.

Diggine the Trees.

By no means the least of the pecan
nurseryman's problems is that of dig-
ging. The pecan, as you all know, has
a tap-root which is often longer than the
top, and to get this root, or enough of

it to satisfy our customers, it is neces-
sary to dig the trees by hand. If the
weather happens to be very dry, as is
often the case in the fall of the year, a
pickaxe is sometimes a necessary ad-
junct to the spade. It costs us about 3
cents each to dig an average-sized pecan
tree with the labor at our command.

The cost, however, is not the chief
difficulty; it is the time required that
gives us the most trouble. As the aver-
age negro will not dig over twenty-five
3-foot to 4-foot trees in a day, if one
had to ship, say, 2,000 trees on a day's

for most of us. Of course, a 1-foot to
2-foot or 2-foot to 3-foot tree can be
dug a little faster and handled more
rapidly than the larger ones. We usu-
ally furnish a root running from eighteen
to thirty inches long, depending on the
size of the tree.

We believe if we were to run the tree
digger under the one-year-old seedlings
and cut the tap root five or six inches
underground, that the trees worked on
these stocks could be dug with the dig-
ger. The cutting of the tap root would
cause several new tap roots to form and
also more laterals, so that the entire root
system would be kept much nearer the
surface of the ground.

Packing and Shipping.

The pecan tree, being a high-priced
product, should be packed with exceed-
ing care. In our work we use nothing
but sphagnum moss or excelsior and al-
ways "paper-line" the packages, even
bales sent by express. Trees packed se-
curely in this manner will reach their
destination in as good condition as they
left the packing shed. We have had
bales which were lost by the express
company and were opened up in first-
class condition after being packed a
month. The roots of pecan trees, con-
sisting chiefly of straight tap roots, ad-
mit of very snug, tight packing, and
when the trees are properly tied up they
make an ideal looking bale.

Our shipping season commences about
the middle of October — earlier than it
should, as the trees are not fully dor-
mant until the last part of November.
Trees sent out early in the season should,
therefore, be handled and packed in the
very best manner, to insure successful
transplanting. We find that dipping the
roots in a thin mud just before packing
is beneficial and adds but little to inc
transportation charges.

Development of the Business.

In conclusion, we will say that the
pecan nursery business is gradually be-
coming more and more like any other
branch of the trade. Buds and grafts
of the select varieties are each year be-
coming more plentiful, so that the pro-
duction of trees in the future will not be
necessarily limited, as it has been in the
past. Unless some unforeseen disease
or insect enemy appears, however, we
believe the demand will continue to keep
pace with the supply. It will not be long
until the buyer can telegraph an order
for 1,000 pecan trees of a certain va-
riety and grade, just as he would an
order for any other fruit trees, and be

almost as certain that they will be

facilitate the handling of pecan trees on
a large scale more than a pecan tree
digger. Let us hope that it will come
in the near future.

DAVENPORT, lA.

Reports of those who have recently
attended the florists' convention were
heard at the meeting of the Tri-City
Florists' Association at the home of
Harry Bills, September 10. John Temple,
who attended the national convention at
Niagara Falls, reported on the convention
proceedings and also told of the trip
thiough the east. Theodore Ewoldt and
John Temple reported on the Iowa state
florists' convention at Des Moines, and
Emil Bochm, who attended the conven-
tion of the superintendents of parks at
Minneapolis, reJated interesting occur-
rences at that meeting.

Every meml)er was present and the
many interesting and instructive talks
made the session an especially good one.
Following the meeting the host served re-
freshments.

The next meeting will be held at the

WOBURN, Mass. — Gustave Olsen, for-

cently has been engaged in the florists'
business at Hartford, Conn., has se-
cured a greenhouse on Bow street and
will begin business at once.

Elm Grove, W. Va. — C. S. Carr, who
has been manager at Waddington farm
for eight years, has handed in his resig-
nation, to take effect October 15. At
the time Mr. Carr took charge of this
place it was almost a wilderness and the
improvement made is much to his credit.
About 10,000 feet of glass are used for
roses, carnations, vegetables, etc., togeth-
er with bedding plants, of which over
20,000 were used last spring. Mr. Carr
will go to Denver for a rest at the home
of his son, Charles Carr.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Septbmbbh 17, 1908.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

There are ripples of business here and
there on the quiet summer sea of busi-
ness, indicating that fall has come. and
acting as forerunners of increased
activity. There are good days and bad
ones, with just enough of the former to
keep the latter from becoming unduly
^pressing. There is an excess of ar-
rivals, which makes cleaning out more
than a problem, and much goes to the
ash barrel. Asters rule the market and
there is a good sale for white and pink,
but purple and red are at present en-
tirely too numerous to keep pace in price
with the lighter shades.

Dahlias are scarce and find ready sale.
The shortage is due mostly to the dry
season, which caused them to make poor
growth. One of the largest growers of
dahlias has not shipped any so far and
has poor prospects of shipping any, on
account of the aster bugs.

Some fine blooms of My Maryland
have been sold at the Florists' Exchange
and were eagerly bought up. This rose
seems to meet all the requirements of
the commercial grower.

Various Notes.

The park board has decided to abandon
the greenhouses at Carroll park, and
expects to offer them for sale in the
near future, believing that enough plants
can be grown in the other districts to
take care of Carroll park district. The
range of glass is a large one, and it
also has a large collection of cacti which
belongs to the Cacti Club, housed in sev-
eral houses. ,

The Florists' Exchange has handled
a large number of carnation plants and
finds a steady demand for the leading
varieties. It handles a full line of flo-
rists' supplies for the greenhouse, and
the plant department is filled with a fine
variety of decorative plants,

Hugo Walther, of Park Heights ave-
nue, has been cutting extra fine asters
and finds a ready sale at his stand in
Lexington market.

A. C. Snyder, of Towson, is building a
small conservatory, 18x50 feet. Q.

Stafford Springs, Conn. — J. J.
Braun has resumed the management of
the Baker greenhouses.

MONTREAL.

Current Comment.

September 10 and 11 Lyric hall pre-
sented a scene of much attractiveness,
when the Montreal Horticultural Soci-
ety held its annual exhibition. The dis-
play of plants, flowers, fruits and vege-
tables was much better than of late
years, and a large number of visitors ap-
preciated the show. Mr. Wilson-Smith
opened the exhibition, and on the last
evening he presented the prizes to the
lucky winners. F. C. Smith won most
marks in the plant section, C. A. Smith
in the cut bloom section, George Trus-
sell in the fruit and vegetable section
and F. S. Watson in the amateur section.

Business is once more becoming brisk,
flowers are more plentiful, and young,
fresh ferns and palms are beginning to
make their appearance in all the stores.

J". Bennett has returned from a visit
to Ottawa, Toronto, Buffalo and other
places.

Miss Carmichael has decided to give
up her store for the next year, until
times are better.

Campbell's are, as usual, doing a lot
of business in every branch, and their
store always looks a bower of beauty.

The death of Mr. Pinoteau, superin-
tendent of the Montreal parks, was a
great loss to all, and much regret is felt
by the club men.

We have been having cool evenings,
though the days are warm enough. Bush
fires are raging and rain is much desired,
as everything is being burnt.

Tommy.

FiTCHBURG,* Mass. — W. H. Bitter has
purchased the Pethybridge greenhouses, in
West Fitchburg. These have been used
for cucumbers, but Mr. Eitter will devote
the space to growing cut flowers, in
charge of Percy Rogers.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

September 17, 1908.

DETROIT.

The Market.

The days are getting shorter and car-
nation stems longer. Each is a sign
of approaching winter. Business was not
any too lively last week, probably owing
to another spell of warm weather. We
have not had any real fall weather, so
far, and therefore can hardly expect
business to open up.

There are a lot of poor asters on the
market and these get no farther than
the dump. As reported last week, good
stock sells readily. Many fine roses are
obtainable at reasonable prices. Eobert
Klagge is sending in some fine La De-
troit.

Variotti Notes.

Antoine Wintzer, of West Grove, Pa.,
spent Sunday, September 6, in Detroit,
as the guest of J. F. Sullivan.

Charles Frahm is building up a nice
little retail business on the east side.
Ordinary work he makes up himself and
the larger pieces he turns over to B.
Schroeter.

Many complaints are heard of the
poor express service in this city. Stock
arriving on the early morning trains from
the west is carried around town the bet-
ter part of the morning. No satisfaction
can be had at the head o£Qce, as they
claim not to have enough wagons.

H. S.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The floral exhibit at the state fair was
well filled, considering the dry weather.
Those who made exhibits deserve great
credit, as all outdoor flowers were prac-
tically spoiled. The dahlias were entirely
gone and the mixed flower exhibit was
small as compared with other years. The
gladioli and asters showed the effect of
the drought. Fred Dorner, Jr., acted as
judge and in a satisfactory manner to
all concerned. He awarded prizes as
follows:

Floral design, John Rieman first, Alfred War-
ner second.

Bride's bouquet, John Rieman first, Alfred
Warner second.

Basket of flowers, John Rieman first.

Vase of cut flowers, John Rieman first.

Display of gladioli, Wm. Back first, W. W.
Coles second.

Display of asters, Wm. Hack first, W. W.
Coles second.

Collection of flowers, W. W. Coles first.

Fifty red carnations, Alfred Warner first.

Fifty white carnations, Alfred Warner first,

Facts Worth Learning

jmr LOOK, BROTHER MINE ! LISTEN I -^B

What GODFREY ASCHMANN, the Philadelphia Hustler, the great foreseer, has

got to say. He never goes wrong.

W" HE PREDICTS GREAT PROSPERITY!
NOW BEFORE THE DOOR

You will sell everything you have at good
prices. After a hot spell follows a cold one: after
rain, sunshine; after a panic, money plentiful,
and you have got a chance

TO FILL YOUR FOCK£T8 IF YOU WISH
TO DO SO.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE RUSH ?

Brother, think it over; it is high time. When
will you start in? Now, of course. Waiting
means suicide.

NOT ASLEEP.

We are well prepared to meet all demands.
The Araucaria King means to sell his Araucarias,
and the motto of the moveman means Keep a
Moving. Eighteen years of experience of im-
porting, growing, shipping and handling of Arau-
carias brings us m the foreground of any mer-
chant in the business; so well known that any
florist from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean can
sing a song of Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias.

GEO. WITTBOLD CO.

1657 Buckingham Place, CHICAGO, ILL.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

One would say that there was a slight
improvement in trade last week, but the
enormous quantities of stock coming in
keep the wholesale house filled up. As-
ters seem to be the principal trouble
makers; they are here by the wagon-load,
with roses a good second, but it is hoped
that the worst is over.

We have not had a good rain since
the last of May and as a result some
of the growers are feeling alarmed about
their water supply, and everything out-
side is burned up. But that September
frost is now due, so it does not make
much difference.

Various Notes.

A mistake was made last week in giv-
ing credit for the W. C. Beckert prize
on vegetables at the club. I should have
said Mr. Lillie, gardener for Mr. Barns-
dale.

Pittsburg has been spoken of as the
place where they get high prices for
cut flowers. If this ever were true, it
certainly is not at this time, as flowers
are sold, both wholesale and retail, as
cheap here as in any city in the country.

There are more and better carnations
being received than ever known before so
early in the year. The growers in this
section are all planting inside as early
as they can get their houses in shape.

Harris Bros., who conducted the prin-
cipal strex>t stand on Fifth avenue,
have been crowded out of business, the

A Wonderful New Nephrolepis

Nephrolepis Superbissima

Introduction off 1908

We deeire to call attention to. this new fern, which originated with ua and which we are introducing this year.

It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they
were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over-
lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact.

It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green-
entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the
fronds never breaking down.

While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of
the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact
growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand
more knocking around than any other fern of this type.

It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant
that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class
with the other varieties.

It was awarded a I'll'SL'Cld.SS ^6f*XlTlCd.T6 by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in
London, November, 1907, the plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After
being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class
Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates
in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities.

We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

CARNATIONS.

28,000 FIELD PLANTS.
I have a large supply of ETnchantress. This
is extra fine stock in splendid shape for bench-
ing now. The plants are strong, bushy ones,
that break close to the ground, and have a
good blue color, showing perfect health and
thrlftiness. There is absolutely no stem rot
or disease in the field. This stock has an
abundance of shoots to produce an early crop
at about the right time, as well as smaller
breaks for later crops. In fact I consider
this the best stock I have ever offered the
trade. I also have some good Queen and Har-
lowarden. Prices, $5.00 per 100, $45.00 per
1000; 250 at 1000 rate.

The Detroit Steam Trap Co., Detroit,
writes as follows: "On page 60 of
the Review for September 3 there ap-
peared a statement from the Morehead
Mfg. Co., of Detroit. We have been in-
serting an ad in your issues since August
20, under the name of the Detroit Steam
Trap Co., for the Detroit Steam Trap.
This trap is entirely different from the
one which the American Blower Co., of
Detroit, was advertising previous to the
above mentioned date. As to the De-
troit trap, which we are advertising in
your columns, we assert positively it is
not mixed up in any litigation what-
soever. ' '

A COIL BOILER.

I have two greenhouses in Illinois, one
18x50 and the other 9x90, which I
should like to heat with a coil boiler, and
I should like you to give me any infor-
mation which would help me to make
one. I have 4-inch pipes in the houses.
Please state the size of boiler and pipes
to be used. G. R.

You fail to state the temperature de-
sired in your houses, but I have as-
sumed that in j'our climate a 60-deirree
temperature will give you ample radia-
tion for most plants that you will care
to grow. The two houses, on this basis,
require a boiler capable of carrying 900
square feet of radiation. The boiler,
to carry this amount of pipe, should con-

BANG? WHO NEXT?

PijUasant Hill, Mo., Sept. 20, 1907.— A boiler exploded early today In the
ponservatory of Geo. M. Kellogg, three mlleB Irom here, partially destroying the
plant and causing damane eetimated at $75,000. Over half of the plant was saved.
The eonservatories are among the largest in the west.

With a CAPITOL. BOILXR this explosion would have been impossible.
Safety is better than Insurance. The actual property loss may be covered by
infeurance, but the 1( ss of business cannot.

Be on the safe side. Equip your greenhouse with a Capitol Boiler and
you will have safety from explosion, the lowest possible fuel expense, the lowest
expense in attention and the most in heating eHiciency. Add to this long years of
service, and quick repairs, when repairs are necessary, by reason of the divided
sections. These days of keen competition leave no room for experiment. The
Capitol Boiler is a necessity of every florist.

How to Keep
Your Chimney
Cool

First — Don't skimp your boiler.
Buy one large enough so you don't
have to leave the draft door open a
good part of the time and force the
burning gases so rapidly that they
reach the chimney before the heat
is more than half extracted.
Second — Buy a Bumham, because
it is the only boiler with cross fire
channel having side flue openings,
or with a fire travel three times the
boiler's length before reaching the
smoke outlet. No other cast iron
sectional boiler is constructed
especially for greenhouse heating.

tain 120 square feet of heating surface.
To build such a heater of li/^-inch pipe
will require 240 lineal feet of pipe. The
details of the construction of a pipe
boiler include the construction of a
brick furnace in which to arrange your
heating surface. It will probably be
not much more expensive and possibly
much more satisfactory to buy one of
the moderate priced heaters advertised
in the Review. L. C. C.

CEMENT FOR CAST-IRON PIPE.

Portland cement makes a good joint.
I have one house piped with 4-inch pipe
and the joints were made with Portland
cement and have been used for fifteen
years. The joints arc made the same as
with iron filings; that is, first a layer
of oakum and then cement, filling the
sleeve nearly full, and then a layer of
oakum, plastering over the outside with
cement. The advantage is that one can
make three joints with cement while he
can make but one with the iron filings.
This is in answer to the inquiry of C. J.
in the Review for August 27.

MUSHROOM HOUSES.

We are building two mushroom houses
16x100, with a rhubarb forcing house on

the north side, 16x100. On the south
side we will put a greenhouse and boiler-
room, with office, packing house, etc.
But we may not put up the greenhouse
this fall. How much pipe will it take
to heat the mushroom houses to 50 de-
grees in zero weather? Also, what size
of boiler will be needed? H. H. C.

Each house 16x100 should be provided
with 600 square feet of radiation to
maintain a temperature of 50 degrees
during severe weather. If you use 1^-
inch pipe and hot water at 180 degrees
it will require 1,200 feet of pipe. If
2-inch pipe is used, 960 feet will give the
same amount of radiation. To handle
the three houses contemplated the boiler
used should be rated at not less than
2,000 square feet of radiation.

L. C. C.

TOO LITTLE RADLVTION.

I am building two greenhouses, each
17x60, which I will heat with hot water,
using 4-inch pipes. These houses are
built north and south, with the boiler-
shed at the north end. They have con-
crete walls all around and no exposure
except the roof. Will it be safe to run
a 4-inch flow half-way up the roof and
drop at the south end into three 4-inch
returns under three beds? Will it be

all right to couple both the returns, one
.for each house, on to one pipe at the

the two houses. My idea is to run a flow
pipe in each house, but to couple all six
returns into one pipe at the north end

to return to the boiler. The two flows
have five and one-half feet drop at the
south end and the return has about three
and one-half feet drop at the boiler.
These houses are for miscellaneous stock.
I have only about six inches above the
flow pipe at the boiler for my expansion
tank. It holds forty gallons. .Where
should I couple the tank; on which flow?

S. K.

I fear the piping you have planned to
install will not maintain a satisfactory
temperature for all winter work with a
miscellaneous lot of plants. I would not
consider it safe to figure on less than
a 60 degree temperature for mixed stock.
This would require nearly 400 square
feet of radiation in the houses, which
would require at least five lines of pipe.
You plan for four. If you think 45
degrees safe for your stock, then your
plan will probably be all right. I would
not attempt to use an overhead flow with
4-inch cast-iron pipe, but should plan to
put all the pipes under the benches.
Make the high point in the system at the
south end and give the pipes a good
grade. Connect the expansion tank with
the main return near the boiler, not with
the flow. Carry the expansion tank sev-
eral feet above the highest point in the
system, even if you have to build a box
or tower on top of the boiler-shed to
house it. I would suggest eight to ten
feet in your case. If the boiler has two
openings into which returns can be car-
ried, I would prefer to return each house
independently to the boiler. If there is
only one return opening, carry them
close to the boiler before uniting them.

HEAT FROM RESIDENCE.

I am building a greenhouse 14^/^x47
feet, four feet to the eaves and nine and
a half feet to the ridge. I expect to
grow a general line of plants. Please
state how you would pipe the greenhouse
from a hot water boiler in the cellar of
the residence, about thirty feet away.
What size of pipe should be used for the
flow and what size for returns, and what
is the most practical way of placing
them? How would you protect the flow
and return between the residence and
greenhouse, so as to prevent loss of radia-
tion? My location is southern Ohio.

W. B.

A good plan to follow will be to carry
a 2-inch flow and a 2-inch return directly

The Market.

With three holidays, hot weather and
the state fair, business for the best part
of last week was anything but brisk.
Friday and Saturday found the shipping
trade somewhat stronger.

The State Fair.

Friday, September 11, the Wisconsin
State Fair for this year came to a close
and, with no rain and a good attendance,
it again was a financial success. The
cash prizes for flowering beds were award-
ed as follows: First, $50, Janesville
Floral Co., Janesville, Wis.; second, $40,
Heitnian & Baerman, Milwaukee; third,
$30, Budolph Preuss, Milwaukee; fourth,
$20, Fred Kaiser, Milwaukee; fifth, $10,
Alex. Klockner, Wauwatosa, Wis.

W. E. Dallwig and Hunkel's Seed
Store made creditable exhibits, the lat-
ter making a good showing of vege-
table seeds in quantity, while the former
had more of a variety in his exhibits.
The competition in the cut flower class
was not keen and, owing to very hot
weather, it did not show up to any great
advantage. Among the local exhibitors
were: Alex. Klockner, Currie Bros.,
John Dunlap; also H. W. Koerner, with
quite a collection of gladioli. The Coe,
Converse & Edwards Co., Ft. Atkinson,
Wis., also had an exhibit.

gleNi cove. n.y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society was
held Wednesday evening, September 9,
M'ith President Jaenicke in the chair.
The minutes of the previous meeting hav-
ing been read and approved, the com-
munications were read. A letter was
read from President Koosevelt, accept-
ing election as an honorary member.
Walter Shaw and Wm. A. Finger accept-
ed invitations to act as judges at the
dahlia show. There were three active
mombers nominated and two honorary.

Special prizes for the fall show were
offered by several gentlemen, also from
the Julius Koehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J. ;
Rickard Bros., New York, and F. H.
Matz, Glen Cove. It was decided that
the executive committee meet Saturday
evening and rearrange the schedule for
the fall show.

A letter inviting affiliation with the
Chrysanthemum Society of America was
left over till a later date.

The awards for the monthly competi-
tion were as follows: George Wilson,
Roslyn, onions, 88; H. F. Meyer, egg-
plant, 81; Valentine Cleres, sedum, 78.
Honorable mention: V. Cleres, gladioli;
E. H. Roehrs, orchids; George Wilson,
double dahlias; S. Drombrowski, single
dalilias; H. F. Meyer, peaches; J. Drom-
browski, squash and celery; Mr.
Fleischer, roses, helianthus and tomatoes.

By request, Mr. Mackenzie told how
he had grown the onions for Mr. Wil-
son. Mr, Roehrs spoke on orchids, and
S. Drombrowski answered a few ques-
tions about his single dahlias. The meet-
ing then adjourned.

CALLA, OHIO.

The sale of the Calla Greenhouses,
which recently went into bankruptcy, took
place September 10. The sale was well
attended and it is the general impression
that the sale was a fair one, although
some of the articles sold under their
valuation. The real estate, consisting of
fifty-two acres, and eight dwelling houses,
together with the greenhouses, sold for
$10,150 and was purchased by Mr. Lyons,
of Youngstown, a real estate and in-
surance broker. It is the general im-
pression that he was purchasing for
other parties. The office furniture and
fixtures sold well, but many articles of
the printing office went for a song. It
is understood that the old firm will re-
embark in business.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

September 17, 1908.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Trade last week was quiet, there being
no special call for any kind of stock.
Asters, of course, are on hand by the car-
load, but there is sale for only a part
of those sent in.

Roses are improving; the quality of
stock received is good for this time of
the year, Kaiserin is still in the lead
and coming in heavily.

Carnations are of the best quality
seen here in years, for so early, but
the demand is not what it should be for
such good stock. Gladioli have had
their day and the demand for them is
unsteady at present. Some dahlias are
to be seen, but it is too warm for good
stock of these yet.

Various Notes.

Harry Jones, of the J, M. Gasser
Co., spent an enjoyable day at Portage
Lakes last week, visiting friends.

The James Eadie Co. has several houses
of chrysanthemums that are in fine shape.
A house of early planted carnations is
also looking well.

Guy Bate and T. R. Williams are en-
joying a lake trip to Duluth on one of the
large freight boats.

J. Kirchner had some large funeral
orders last week, buying quantities of
stock.

Mr. Albright, formerly with C. M.
Wagner, and Mr. Smith, of the same
place, will open a retail store on Erie
street, opposite the Rose building, about
September 21.

Smith & Fetters have been showing
some beautiful and attractive windows
of late.

Visitors: Henry Heepe, Akron, O.; Mr.
Werner, Painesville, O. B.

PEORL\. ILL.

TliG Democratic state convention was
held here September 9 and 10, but did
not help business.

A. M. Augspurger has returned from
Chicago, wljere he disposed of a large
quantity of Boston, Whitmani and Am-
erpohlii ferns and a lot of cycas.

•J. Nelson is cutting some nice chry-
santhemums.

The following were Peoria visitors dur-
ing last week: W. W. Davis, of Davis
Bros., Morrison, 111.; Mr. Snider, of the
El Paso Carnation Co., Kl Paso, 111. •
C. W. Moore, Clinton, 111.; Mr. Jacobs,
Canton, 111., and Mr. Winters, La Salle
^"- H. C. R.

Lancaster, Pa.— Walter A. Hammond,
who has been twenty years with Schroyer,
and Wm. H. Gompf, Jr., will open a re-
tail flower store at 19 West Orange street
and do business as Hammond & Gompf.

Making
Repairs?

To say the least it is a hard job
to repair greenhouses. At the
same time it costs money and cats
down the profits.

If you are "fixing up" the
houses for winter you will want a
few bars, some putty or fittings,
and you will want these things in a
hurry. Send us your order and
we'll get it out without any delay.

We have in stock various lengths
of sash bars and can ship small
repair orders in a day or two.
Such things as pipe carriers, pur-
lin fittings, gutter hubs, putty
bulbs, putty, glazing points, gal-
vanized nails, etc., we have on
hand at all times and can ship
same day order reaches us, in
nearly every case.

To cut down the repair bills,
get the next greenhouse from us
and put the cost of repairs in the
bank.

LILY OF THE VALLEY.

Will you please tell us how to grow lily
of the valley, how long they last, and if
the pips are any good after blooming
once! * A. F. C.

For outdoor culture, lily of the valley
can be planted in nursery rows two and
one-half feet apart, or in beds four feet
wide. The plants last indefinitely. All
the attention needed is a dressing of
rotted manure eaeh fall and a replanting
when they become too thick.

For indoor culture, valley needs a good
bottom heat and cooler atmospheric con-
ditions; 80 to 85 degrees at the root
and 60 to 65 degrees above will produce
good flowers. The pips can be planted
in either sand or soil; as they make no
roots, the nature of compost is of small
importance. The case in which they are
forced should be darkened until the flow-
er stalks are well advanced, when light
can be gradually given to give them sub-
stance. To produce a steady succession,
it is necessary to start batches of valley
at frequent intervals. Forced roots are
of no value for forcing again. The Re-
view will print cultural directions about
lily of the valley from time to time,
which please consult. C. W.

IRIS AND LILY OF THE VALLEY.

I would like to know the best time
of the year to plant iris and lily bulbs
or pips outdoors. Please mention some
hardy lilies that do well planted in au-
tumn outdoors. Is lily of the valley
hardy enough to plant out here in south-
ern Iowa in autumn f I have never had
any experience with either iris or lily
pips out of doors. Any information
along^ this line will be appreciated.

H. M.

German and Japanese iris should be
planted as soon as possible. They will
flower much more satisfactorily next
season if set out now, rather than in
spring. In planting the Japanese iris,
I. Kaempferi, it is always welL to re-
member that while this variety loves
semi-aquatic treatment in the growing
season, it must not be given a location
where water stands in winter, or it will
rot. The bulbous irises, such as Hispan-
ica and Anglica, are best placed in the
ground just before it freezes. The Span-
ish iris will be found more reliable than
the English one. All the irises will be
benefited by a winter mulching of leaves
or strawy manure.

Lily of the valley should prove per-
fectly hardy in your state.^ Select ground
which has been deeply spaded over and
well manured, to secure best results. A
little shade is also an advantage. As
the pips do not arrive until November or
early December, it may be necessary to
place a covering of leaves or straw on
the ground where you intend to plant
them. Fortin's variety of lily of the
valley is the best I have seen for out-
door culture. It costs a little more

than the general run of Berlin or Ham-
burg pips.

AH liliums are much better planted in
fall than spring. No matter how careful
a seedsman may be with, his bulbs, it
stands to reason that they must fritter
away a large part of their strength if
stored in a dry room for four months.
Lilium candidum requires to be planted
earlier than any other hardy garden lily.
This beautiful, pure white variety starts
to make roots and growth early in Sep-
tember, and planting should be done at
once. Set the bulbs four inches deep.
Lilium speciosum album and the colored
varieties, roseum, rubrum and Melpomene,
are all reliable, flowering in August and
September, and are useful commercial
sorts. L. Henryi is somewhat high priced
still, but possesses wonderful vigor and
seems perfectly disease-proof. The gor-
geous L. auratum does not usually last

over two seasons. L. tigrinum is a first-
class, reliable sort, seeming to do well
under adverse conditions. The foregoing
comprise the best lilies of commercial
value.

A few other sorts worthy of outdoor
culture are L. Chalcedonicum, L. super-
bum, L. Hansoni, an excellent sort, deep
golden yellow flowers, spotted crimson;
L. Batmannise and L. Brownii. All the
lilies named, with the exception of L.
candidum, will do better if planted eight
or ten inches deep, and as they usually
arrive after the ground is frozen, spaces
where they are to be planted must be
protected. L. candidum needs only a
light winter mulch. The other lilies should
have a heavy one; for this purpose pine
needles or leaves are preferable to ma-
nures. W. N. Craig.

TIGRIDIAS.

Are the tigridias, or shell flowers, ever
forced, or would it be possible to have
them in bloom in May? F. E. C.

I have never seen the tigridias forced.
They are usually planted outdoor* in
May, lifted in October and stored in sand
for the winter. Possibly by starting your
bulbs under glass in February in a car-
nation temperature, you could forward
the flowering season sufficiently to have
them in bloom in May. C. W.

EARLY VARIETIES.

A Visit to Well*.

While on a recent visit" to England
I went down to see the veteran chrysan-
themum grower, W. Wells, at Merstham,
Surry, and was astonished at the show-
ing of early flowering varieties he had at
that date, August 15. There were sev-
eral acres just commencing to flower and
the sight was an inspiring one.

I took notes of a few of them, which
I considered the best at the moment,
though a week later would show many
more kinds which I have no doubt would
be equally good. Arranging the kinds
in their colors, I give the following:

Yellow — Polly, Koi des Jaunes, The
Champion, Harry, J. J. Hart (a very
fi-ne thing), Maggie, Carrie.

Pink — Perle Rose, Pink Aster, Marie
Masse, Merstham Pink, Hector, Hetty,
Lillie, Pink Bedder.

Wliite — Emily, Holmes White, M. Des-
grange, Roi des Blanc, Tapis de Neigo,
Market White.

Crimson — Wells' Scarlet, Mrs. W.
Sydenham, Nina Blick.

Bronze — Gertie, Geo. Bowness, Tonkin,
Veseuve.

I afterwards saw many of these vari-
eties lifted and potted into 6-inch pots
on sale in Covent Garden market. They
made beautiful pot plants, the whole-
sale price running about $12 per hun-
dred for them.

Mr. Wells had a lot of splendid new
varieties of his own raising, and many
from Nonin, and the early flowering sec-
tion will shortly be enriched thereby.

One variety raised by Mr. Wells, called
Mignon, is worthy of special note. It
is a lovely pink and when disbudded
makes a fine flower, perfect in stem and
foliage, and up to midseason size and
finish.

Early singles were represented also by
many thousands of plants, a large batch
of seedlings being distinct. I do not
think that these singles would flower so
early with us, nor, as a matter of fact,
do we want them, since we have no call
for stock till the end of September, but
I do not see why they should not be
largely planted as border plants to
flower outside when the early frosts
have caught many of the tender bedding
plants.

I was there too soon to see how the
large flowered exhibition kinds were going
to pan out, but the wood was in fine shape
and I have not the least doubt that Mr.
Wells, as usual, captured his share of
the prizes. He has phlox, Michaelmas
daisies and other hardy stock on hand,
but the chief attractions to me, outside
of his mums, were the pentstemons^ I
had no conception of the size and lovely
coloring of the present-day hybrids till
I saw them. The flowering spikes are
over two feet long and the individual
flowers two inches across and set closely
together. Many of the finest are now
named, I understand, and a collection of
these would grace any garden, as I
believe they are hardy in this country.

Mr. Wells sent me a magnificent col-
lection of chrysanthemums just before
I sailed for home and they kept splen-
didly on the tables throughout the trip
across the Atlantic. C. H. Totty.

SPRAY OF ROSES.

The spray illustrated on this page is
one of the series of funeral designs by
C. H. Fox, Columbia avenue and "^wenty-
first street, Philadelphia. It is a good
example of cycas leaves, with a bunch
of roses laid on them, the whole tied
with white satin ribbon. The roses used
are Brides. Mr. Fox prefers this va-
riety when obtainable, where lasting
qualities are required. When for imme-
diate use, he prefers Kaiserins. The
bunch of roses below the bow adds grace
to the arrangement. Phil.

POINTS FOR JUDGING DESIGNS.

'J'he following query was handed in at
the last regular meeting of the Twin
City Florists' Club and, as secretary of
the association, I was requested to for-
ward same. Eeplies can bp s^iH either ta.
you and published in yolir paper, or to
me. The question was:

"When floral arrangements, such as
designs, bouquets and table decorations,
etc., are exhibited in competition and
judged by points, what is the proper scale
of points to use in judging?

S. D. Dysinger, Sec'y.

FREAK ADVERTISING.

Every now and then there is a man
who, being deficient in the sense of the
eternal fitness of things, thinks the best
advertising is to put his notice where one
would least expect to find it. For such
advertisers the classified columns of the
daily newspapers offer a rare oppor-
tunity, as the following will indicate:

LOST AND FOUND.

LOST— A Porto Klcan spaniel dog, color
brown and white; answers to name of "Don"-
owner's name and address on collar. Returti
to 04 South Whipple street. Reward.

FOUND— At McMannion's, the Prescott street
Qorist, the greatest bargains ever offered In
plants and flowers. Cut asters, Ic; good holly
fern, 25c; large rubber plant, 50c each; Ameri-
can, German Siberian Iris, 10c.

Experienced advertisers not in the pat-
ent medicine business long ago found out
that an advertisement should be just
what it purports to be. It should be in
keeping with the dignity of the business
it represents. It should seek to attract
customers to the store by no other meth-
ods than the proprietor would use in
making a sale once the prospective cus-
tomer was within his portals.

woodwork all you can, as it will eat
the paint off whatever it touches. For
I this reason it is better not to syringe it
on the glass. C. W.

TO REMOVE WHITEVASH.

Please give us a good recipe for taking
whitewash off glass. C. K.

If the wash is not heavy, wet the
glass and scatter sand over it; then rub
with a brush. If the shading is heavy
it will be necessary to use a little potash
or lye in the water, which should be
warm. With a long-handled mop, damp-
en the glass with this. An hour or two
afterwards turn the hose on and the
whitewash should come off with a little
rubbing. Keep the potash water off the

CALLAS.

Do any florists have callas in bloom
all summer? How late do they gener-
ally last? F. E. C.

While it may be possible to have flow-
ers of the ordinary white callas every
month in the year, we doubt whether
they would have any value in the sum-
mer months. The bulbs require a rest

of several months if you intend to get
good results in winter. Callas commence
flowering in October and will la§t until
May. The yellow-flovveriiig jind spotted-
leaved callas flower freely in summer
outdoors. |i. 3 C. W.

SCALE ON BOSTONS,

I notice sortie disease on my ferns in
one corner of the greenhouse, of which
I am sending you a sample, asking in-
formation as to what it is and what to do
to check it? A customer brought me a
fern to keep for her and I think that
was the starter of it, because it is only
in this corner and her plant is most iu'
fested with the disease. J. Y.

The fern fronds inclosed with this
query proved to be badly infested with
a species of scale that is frequently
found upon nephrolepis and various othegr
ferns.

The small, white specks that may be
readily seen on the under side of the
fronds are the young scale insects, the
fully developed insect being a small and
flat brown object, the presence of which

may usually be found by the appearance
of a yellow spot on the upper side of the
leaf, thus showing where the juices have
been sucked from the plant.

The best treatment would be to cut
away the worst fronds, and to burn them,
then dip the plants in a solution of one
part Koseleaf extract of tobacco to fifty
parts water. This is not an absolute
specific and may need to be used several
times, it being practically impossible to
use any insecticide strong enough to kill
all the insects without injuring the ferns.
W. H. T.

THE RETAILER'S SHOW HOUSE.

For the florist who does business di-
rectly with the public there is no more
important feature than his street front:
a good show brings the people in, and
unless the people come in the stock does
not sell, no matter how good it is.

Frank Manker, at the corner of Green-
wood and Gravesend avenues, in Brook-
lyn, N. y., has demonstrated the im-
portance of putting up a good front, for
his trade at once showed the effect when
tlie house pictured in the accompanying
illustration was completed. Mr. Man-
ker's property is valuable. He has one
piece of ground 114x175, for which he
paid $15,000 in cash. The place as a
whole consists of fifteen houses, aggre-
gating about 35,000 square feet of glass,
and it was as an advertisement of the
business that he invested money in put-
ting up this show house. It increased
the attractiveness of his place at least
fifty per cent. The illustration shows
the style and character of the house and
the two small cuts, showing the plan and
section, indicate how useful it may be as
Avell as ornamental.

The sectional view shows that there is
only one table, which is along the street
front. The center is left open for direct
planting and along the other side there
is a place for the larger decorative
plants. The plan indicates how the house
joins the growing houses. The visitor
may be admitted to the stock houses di-
rectly from the show house. Mr. Manker
has two houses in carnations and grows
some Kaiserin, which is the only rose on
the place. Eight houses are in palms,
ferns, ficus and Easter stock, and four

houses at present are devoted to mums,
to be followed by bedding plants, but the
show house is the lesson that appeals to
all. Its contiguity to the greenhouses,
its convenient arrangement and its at-

means of bringing to them many inqui-
ries from florists similarly situated. Mr.
Manker is close to the great Greenwood
cemetery, where an enormous business is
done and many florists congregate. The
larger part of his work is in the improve-
ment and care of the cemetery plots.

THE READERS' CORNER.

Marketing Bulbous Flowers.

On page 21 of the Review for Septem-
ber 17 we notice an article "Edward
Eeid Takes Issue With Phil. ' ' Well, to
begin with, we agree with Phil and con-
cur that "the law of supply and de-
mand regulates the production of cut
flowers, the same as other things."
Apropos of the products of this country
being protected by a tariff, who knows
this better than the bulb-growers? We
alone have paid Uncle Sam thousands of
dollars to get our stock roots over here,
but surely Mr. Reid does not classify our
flowers as "cheaply produced foreign
goods. ' ' He should also remember, no
sane man wishes to glut a market, but
quite the contrary; but if salesmen do
not advise growers when there is a glut
until the same often is over, who is to
blame? All last spring we never got an
account of sales under a week, but we
paid one man over $100 commission in
one week and he had no kick about
"dumping," in fact, wanted more.

Please pardon us for bringing Europe
into this matter, but this same dumping
was in evidence about twenty-seven years
ago and old established men got their
backs up and would not handle outdoor
bulbous flowers, but finished up by being
the largest distributors in Covent Garden
market. One was D. D. Pankhurst. The
receipts of these flowers now is not re-
ported by thousands but by tons, and it
is not what the handler thinks, but what
the public will insist on having, and if
florists boycott them as being too cheap
to handle^ they will find ladies will go
to the market and buy them, as they do
here at Norfolk, where over a quarter of
a million are disposed of in March and
Ajiril. If every city of this size eventu-
ally gets educated up to it, like this, we
shall hear no more of dumping.

Now as the land is bought, green-
houses erected and the bulbs here, per-
haps the gentleman will suggest what we
do with the flowers?

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^s^^^^

Hydrangeas.

It is now time to gradually withhold
water supplies from hydrangeas in pots,
not to the extent of causing serious wilt-
ing of the foliage, but rather to check
further growth and ripen up the wood.
Hydrangeas should be stood on a bed of
coal ashes in an open, sunny spot, and
be spaced so that every shoot can get its
full quota of sun and air. This gradual
ripening of the wood is especially nec-
essary in the case of plants you may
want to force soon after Christmas. We
always like to leave our hydrangeas out
to get a few degrees of frost. This
takes off some of the Jfoliage and, unless
the growth is extremely soft, will not
hurt them. A plant well ripened, with
nutty-brown wood, will withstand a tem-
perature of 20 degrees above zero with-
out injury, while one full of soft, green
leaves would have all flowering buds
killed.

It is a common practice to head back
and plant out a quantity of left-over
plants after Memorial day. These may
now be lifted and potted. Be sure to
get a nice ball and reduce it so that
pots of moderate size will hold them.
Keep well soaked with water and spray-
ed for a few days, and they will soon
recover from their lifting. In case of
threatened frosts, it would be well to
have a sheet of canvas to throw over the
plants. They will be better outdoors
until frost, likely to injure them, neces-
sitates housing.

G>smos.

The cosmos is just coming into nice
bloom. It is customary to lift a few
plants and stand at the end of a cool
house to expand, for the lightest frost
kills them.

Cuttings taken in June are now nice,
bushy plants in 7-inch pots and are use-
ful before the- mum season opens. The
new variety. Lady Lenox, seems unusual-
ly late in opening, but its beautiful,
large, pink flowers make it a decided ac-
quisition.

There are always customers who pre-
fer cosmos to asters, gladioli and other
outdoor flowers, and it is always well
for the retailer to cater to these aesthetic
buyers.

Poinsettias.

■ Rapid growth is now noticeable on
poinsettias. In the northern states, it is
not safe to leave them in frames after
this date. We do not consider a higher
temperature than 50 degrees at night nec-
essary until bracts are showing, when a
rise of 10 degrees until they are ex-
panded should be given, slowly reducing
it after that time. The beauty of the
brilliant poinsettia is lost if it is not
furnished with dark green foliage to the
bottom of its stem. How many pans do
we see that have practically no leaves
except a few below the bracts, but
have ferns, dracaenas and other green
plants to hide the nakedness I The use
of these intermixed foliage plants in

pans is to be commended, but far too
often in the make-up the poor poin-
settia's roots are hopelessly damaged, re-
sulting in a heavy loss of foliage.

With no flowering plant is careful
watering more important than in the case
of poinsettias. Too much or too little
will alike cause yellowing of the foli-
age, but an overplus is the more danger-
ous of the two. Any feeding must be
done carefully and in light doses. The
real titiie to feed is when the bracts
are developing. Plants should not be
sprayed overhead now, but if mealy bug
asserts itself, the spray nozzle should
be utilized. Bracts are badly disfigured
if the bugs get a foothold on them.

Azaleas.

The Belgian azaleas are due soon to
arrive, and will demand some of our time
and attention. Frequently the balls be-
come somewhat dry en route from Europe
and it is a good plan to soak all in tubs
of water before potting. Use pots just
large enough to comfortably hold the
balls and be specially careful to firm the
soil thoroughly with a flat-pointed ram-

mer. The best place for the plants after
potting is in a frame or pit, where they
can be kept just clear of freezing. A
few sprayings will be helpful during
bright weather. For compost, it is not
necessary to use peat, as the Belgians
do. Fibrous loam, leaf-mold and sand
answer well.

Antirrhinums.

It will not be long before the Pacifies,
Monrovias, Hallidays and other benches
of early mums are cut and their places
can be taken by antirrhinums. If the
latter are in pots, give them a shift
rather than let them become matted with
roots, and keep the flowering shoots
pinched back. Some successful growers
of antirrhinums plant out their stock as
they do carnations, keep it headed back
and lift at the proper planting time. We
have seen much flner spikes produced in
this way than when the snapdragons were
pot-grown all the time before benching.

Cinerarias.

With cool nights, the growth the cinera-
rias are making is surprising. They re-
quire spacing once a week, and do not
forget a fresh packing of tobacco stems
occasionally among the pots. There can
'be no better place for them until the
mum season is over than a coldframe.
Give them an abundance of air, leaving
the sashes off entirely on warm nights.
Look out for green worms, the larvae of
the white butterfly, which often attack
the foliage at this season. Careful hand
picking is necessary for these. Do not
do any potting before the roots become
matted. Use a good proportion of old,
well-decayed manure in the final pottings.

CAHNATION NOTES.- VEST.

Supports.

The next thing to claim your attention
will be to get your supports into place,
and you must not allow this to go too
long. Even the straight, upright grow-
ing varieties will become top-heavy if
they carry several buds to the plant, and
every time you syringe them you knock
many of them over. Soon the whole
bed is in a tangled up mess, and in
straightening up the plants more stems
are broken off than would pay for the
supports if used in time. Every fall
we see a number of such cases.

The question of what kind of support
to use naturally presents itself to those
who are beginning their first season. Per-
haps you have made your choice and
know what you want to use. There are
many kinds on the market and a few
methods not on sale. Nearly all are good
and will answer the purpose if adjusted
properly. It remains for you to choose
the one which strikes your fancy, and
with which you can do the work well
with the least amount of labor and
worry. To say that one will do the work
better than any of the others eould be
made to do it would probably be silly,
and the assertion that a certain support

would enable the grower to cut more or
better blooms from a bench would prob-
ably be absurd and far-fetched, to say
the least, and should not carry any
weight with any intelligent grower.

While, of course, the first cost will
naturally enter into the question, yet it
should be kept subordinate to the ques-
tion of eflSciency and labor-saving ca-
pacity. If you can save two dollars by
spending one, you would better spend it,
and as many more as you can on the same
basis. But, on the other hand, it is
poor business to spend money on one
method for doing a certain thing when
a less expensive method will be just as
eflficient in every way.

There are a number of patent wire
supports on the market, all of which are
good, some having one good feature and
others another. Whichever one strikes
your fancy is the one that is best for
you. Many large growers have installed
these in at least a part of their places,
and altogether they give good satisfac-
tion. Many use a combination of the
wire ring support and the wire and
string netting method, by using the wire
ring for the body of the plant and the
other method for the flower stems. Still
others use the wire and string netting ex-
clusively, and apparently do not care for
the ^wire supports at all. Any one of
these methods will prove efficient if in-
stalled properly. A. F. J. Baue.

DAHLIAS AT HAMMONTON.

J. Murray Bassett welcomed Arthur A. .
Niessen and Phil at the station at Ham-
monton, N. J., on the occasion of our
visit last week, and drove us to his home
in the heart of the dahlia fields. Mr. Bas-
sett has ten acres planted in dahlias, all
in nice condition, showing excellent culti-

vation, and scrupulously clean. He lim-
its his varieties to those that he believes
best for cut flowers and for garden
planting, keeping the number down to
perhaps 100 sorts despite the increase in
acreage. The ramble through the dahlia
fields with Mr. Bassett was full of in-
terest. He has ideas, and carries them
out consistently.

Pink Pearl Mr. Bassett believes to be
one of the finest, if not the finest, pink
dahlia for cuttitig, even better than
Kriemhilde. Some specimen flowers shown
were remarkable, despite the drought, for
size and brilliancy of color.

In yellow Mr. Bassett considers Mrs.
Cliflford W. Bruton as the best. Its draw-
back is that a certain percentage come
semi-double, marring their beauty. A
coming rival for supremacy in the yellows
is Yellow Queen, a magnificent flower of
decorative type.

In white. Flora ranks high. Sylvia is
largely grown for cutting, the color being
such a beautiful combination of pink and
white. Souvenir de Gustave Douzon ranks
high as a deep rich red. Among the
French collarette varieties Mr. Bassett
considers Pres. Viger, with white collar
and yellow stamens, in a class by itself.
Lindhurst Mr. Bassett considers the
standard red.

Among the other varieties of special
interest there were noted two kinds of
Aurora, one a golden yellow, decorative
type, the other a bronze salmon, cactus
type. Cardinal is a fine single of the
Century type, the color being described
by its name'; the flowers stand up beau-
tifully over the plant. Yellow Prince is
a fine variety of jthe cactus type. Lovely
is a unique shadte of pink. Countess of
Lonsdale, a cactus bronze-salmon, is
unique. *

Jack Rose will be introduced by Mr.
Bassett 's father in two years. It is a
striking variety; its name exactly de-
scribes its appearance, an immense Gen.
Jacqueminot rose. Whether this variety
will survive in the fierce competition in
the cut flower market remains to be seen ;
its health and showiness seem to insure it

(Dahlia Pink Pearl.) (Dahlia Jack Rose.)

Mr. Bassett has a commodious cooling
room, which was well filled with choice
blooms. Adjoining it is an office full of
interesting photographs of dahlias and of
the other branch of his business, native
plant collecting, which is steadily grow-
ing from year to year.

Mr. Bassett, who was associated with
his father until two years ago, has spent
his life among dahlias and native plants.
He loves his work and brings every fac-
ulty of a clear and well cultivated mind
into its details. Phil.

HOUSE FOR SWEET PEAS.

Please inform me as to the best mode
of construction for a sweet pea forcing
house. Also please give best forcing va-
rieties and brief directions for growing
inside. E. C.

The ideal house for winter flowering
sweet peas is even-span, quite high at the
sides, say from seven to nine feet, and
thirty to thirty-five feet wide. The neces-
sity for high sides is on account of head
room for the plants. They will grow ten
to fifteen feet high under good condi-
tions. Kaised benches are not needed;
in fact, they do much better, even in
winter, planted on the ground. Rows
should be five to six feet apart and can be
either placed in line with the supports of
the house, or special supports can be
placed for them. Pea brush and wire
netting are equally unsuitable for sup-
porting the plants. Twine is much the
best.

Any good loam, well enriched with cow
or sheep manure, will suit sweet peas.
William Sim, of Cliftondale, Mass., a
noted specialist in this line, stated in a
recent lecture that he had not changed
his soil for five years and his plants did
better each succeeding year. A low tem-
perature, 40 to 45 degrees at night, is
best until the flowering stage, when 48 to
50 degrees is better. Seeds can be started
in sand and transplanted, or in small
pots. If sown where they are to remain,
they must be thinned to two or three
inches apart. Heavy smoking must be
avoided. Frequent light doses will keep

them clean. The plants need a copious
water supply when growing.

Good forcing varieties are Christmas
Pink, Mont Blanc and Watchung. The
two latter are white. There are also
quite a number of other shades, which
flower well in winter. As a rule, however,
the white, and pink and white colors take
the markets the best. Thorough trench-
ing of the ground each year is of course
necessary.

Vegetable crops are often grown in
sweet pea houses in summer, tomatoes and
cucumbers being mostly used for this
purpose. C. W.

ALFRED PEARCE.
Rahway, N. J.
September 10, 1908.

Eighth street, Erie, Pa. This place is
quite properly called "Floral Park," as
its transformation is a surprising illus-
tration of what can be accomplished in
this direction. Two years ago this place
was ordinary farm land devoted to rais-
ing the ordinary farm crops, without

sign of attractive feature, and today it
is a fine illustration of the up-to-date flo-
rist's establishment, both in its field
growing and in the greenhouses.

Floral Park consists of fifteen acres,
twelve of which are devoted to field grow-
ing of asters, carnations and a general
line of florists' and nursery stock. The
balance is occupied by the buildings and
display ground, lawn, etc. The soil is
fertile and has perfect drainage, just
such as is wanted for the work in hand.
The greenhouses are devoted to growing
carnations, smilax, asparagus, bedding
plants, etc. The buildings consist of a
dwelling, two barns and other outbuild-
ings for general purposes, making it a
model establishment of its class.

The present houses consist of five sec-
tions 21x125 feet, heated by steam, the
boiler being located underneath the pack-
ing and shipping room. The basement is
walled up with concrete blocks. The
heating plant has a No. 410 Furman
boiler.

The water supply was given as careful
consideration as any other feature of the
plant and consists of a two horse-power
Standard pumping engine and a pneu-
matic water supply tank forty inches in
diameter and twenty feet long. The
pumping engine is used for taking the
water from a creek 520 feet back of the
houses and delivers it directly into the
pipe line system and also into the pneu-
matic storage tank, which is provided for
a reserve supply. This water supply plant
is entirely independent of the heating
system, as the pumping engine is oper-
ated by gasoline and may be started any
time of the day or night, regardless
whether there is steam up or not. How
effective this direct pumping system is
may be noted in one of the illustrations,
in which the photographer caught two
men spraying at the same time, each
with %-inch hose; the pressure was am-
ple for effective work.

One advantage Mr. Schluraff finds is
that it is a simple matter to keep a con-
siderable volume of water in reserve at a
pressure varying anywhere from thirty to
seventy-five pounds per square inch. In
this particular plant the reserve supply
is about 1,500 gallons and this, together
with what the pumping engine will de-
liver, makes practically 2,000 gallons of

water available at a pressure high enough
to do the spraying and watering in a
few minutes — and after the watering is
finished and the reserve supply exhausted,
the pumping engine is used to replenish
the reserve tank, thus maintaining a con-
siderable volume of water under high
pressure which is available at any time
for fire protection and use in the green-
houses without the necessity of starting
the pumping engine.

There has in the last few years been

from outdoor plants. Lilies and lily of
the valley are neither of them in much
demand.

Asters still swamp the market and con-
tinue of splendid quality; many cannot
be sold at all. Gladioli are fewer, but
more cosmos, tuberoses and dahlias are
seen. Somehow the latter do not seem
to take as market flowers in Boston. We
think they will grow in favor as their
good qualities are better known. The
present week should see a diminution in

great improvement in methods of supply-
ing water for florists ' special needs. The
gasoline engine now is designed to pump
either into pneumatic water supply tanks,
or directly into the pipe line, and is pro-
vided with an automatic safety valve so
that the faucets may be closed to change
the hose connections, or for other pur-
poses, without danger from too high
pressure. They are capable of operating
against any pressure up to ninety pounds
per square inch, and are designed to
pump both air and water at the same
time when used in connection with the
modern pneumatic water supply systems
that are now employed in many green-
house establishments and which seem des-
tined to come into general use where flo-
rists must provide their own water sup-
ply.

Mr. Schluraflf has done well since build-
ing this plant and looks forward to a
good season and the need for more g'ass,

may tend to relieve the present conges-

Dahlia Society's Show.

The first exhibition of the New Eng-
land Dahlia Society and, we believe, the
first of its kind in America, was held in
Tremont Temple, Boston, September 17
to 19 and proved a successful one. The
dahlia devotees continue to increase in
number in New England and much in-
terest is taken by them. The schedule

included no fewer than 125 classes and
nearly all were filled. Some of the largest
and most successful exhibitors were:
W. W. Bawson & Co., E. S. Manuel, Dor-
chester Dahlia Gardens, W. D. Hathaway,
E. W. Ela, W. D. Moon, Edward Lefa-
vour, A. L. Brown, W. F. Turner & Co.,
J. K. Alexander, F. L. Tinkham, Miss
Fanny Foster, D. W. Babcock, A. A. Bas-
sett, N. A. Lindsay, W. H. Symonds,
George H. Walter, W. P. Hayden, John-
son & Hall and H. F. Burt.

Special honorariums for displays went
to W. H. Tarbox, Alex. MacLellan, J, K.
Alexander, George B. Gill, Mrs. E. M.
Gill, Towle's Dahlia Garden, Eobert
Amend, S. B. Dana, George H. Walker
and W. W. Eawson & Co. H. A. Dreer
received a special honorarium for his new
show dahlia, Dreer 's White, a beautiful
pure white variety, much admired.

W. F. Turner & Co. won the silver gilt
medal offered by Dobbie & Co., Eothesay,
Scotland, to the most successful competi-
tor in the show. E. S. Manuel captured
the silver medal of the Horticultural So-
ciety of Lyons, France, for the twelve
most beautiful French cactus and deco-
rative dahlias. W. F. Turner & Co. took
the silver honor medal of the German
Dahlia Society for the most numerous
collection ^of German cactus dahlias. N.
A. Lindsay captured Stredwick & Son's
special for their new varieties of cactus
dahlias. A. MacLellan had a fine collec-
tion of new giant seedling singles.

The largest flower of any decorative
variety was Souvenir de Gustave Douzon
from W. F. Turner & Co. The largest
peony-flowered came from W. W. Eawson
& Co., named H. Hornsveld. The small-
est flower in the show was the pompon,
Belle of Springfield, from H. F. Burt.

Marblehead, a scarlet cactus from W.
W. Eawson & Co., showed up well .among
the novelties, as did Marion, pink with
white base, from W. H. Eichardson.
Euth Forbes, a deep pink cactus, from
W. F. Turner & Co., and Eose, a big,
deep rose-colored show variety, from W.
W. Eawson & Co., were also good.

The experiment of holding a special
dahlia show has proved that it ia possible
to get up an attractive exhibition of
dahlias alone, and we may expect that
future ones will be of even a wider
scope. The addition of tables decorated
with dahlias, baskets, wreaths, bouquets

BOSTON.

The Market

There is nothing new or specially en-
couraging to report about market condi-
tions. Far too many fiowers continue to
arrive and until a killing frost cuts oft"
outdoor supplies, there is little prospect
of improvement. Eoses are of better
size, but are much too abundant and sell
at absurd prices. Even carnations are
down with the rest, and selling rather
poorly. Some now are coming with quite
lengthy stems. A few violets are seen,
but cut little figure as yet, being mostly

and other features might well be included
another year. These were almost entirely
absent at the late show. Much of the
success of the exhibition was due to the
tireless energy of Maurice Fuld, the en-
ergetic secretary.

At a business meeting of the New Eng-
land Dahlia Society, September 18, the
following officers for the ensuing year
were elected: President, William F.
Turner; vice-president, H. W. Kendal;
treasurer, N. L. Lindsay; secretary, M.
Fuld; executive committee, J. P. Bodge,
E. W. Ela, T. H. Tyndale, W. D. Moon
and G. H. Walker. It was voted to in-
corporate the society under the laws of
the state of Massachusetts. The society
now numbers over 350 members and is
steadily growing.

Various Note*.

The various flower stores are making
features of dahlias in their windows at
present, quite a number having named
collections. The same holds good at the
seed stores.

Visitors last week included Ed. Eoehrs,
Eutherford, N. J. ; T. J. Allen, Lewiston,
Me. ; A. MacLellan and E. S. Manuel,
Newport, K. I.

In common with other sections of the
country, Massachusetts is suffering from
a severe drought and rain is urgently
needed.

Farquhar & Co. have this season seven
acres of dahlias at their Sharon and
Roslindale establishments.

Albert Scott, of the Willow Hill
Greenhouses, has a splendid lot of speci-
men Nephrolepis Whitman!.

Mann Bros., of Eandolph, are market-
ing some handsome dahlias.

Henry A. Stevens, of Dedham, has
built a small addition to his greenhouses,
to be used for violets.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club has
invitations to hold field days in 1909 at
the Framingham Nurseries and with E.
J. Shaylor, Wellesley Hills.

There is to be a contest over the will
of the late W. W. Eawson, who died in
August, leaving real estate and personal
property to the value of about $500,000.
Contesting parties are grandchildren.

THE DROUGHT.

The Weather Bureau at Washington
says that the last week was characterized
by unusually warm weather for the sea-
son of the year and by the absence of
any appreciable precipitation over nearly
all the great agricultural districts. The
intense heat, together with the long con-
tinued drought, especially over the lake
region and New England, intensified con-
ditions favorable to the further develop-
ment of forest fires and these continued
over large areas in the above districts,
resulting in much damage and some loss
of life. Some frosts occurred at exposed
points September 16 and 17, but without
material damage.

Sunshine was abundant over nearly all
districts, especially over the corn belt
and all eastern districts except in the
lake region, where much smoky, heavy
weather prevailed.

The continued absence of rain over
large districts in the Missouri, upper
Mississippi and Ohio valleys, lake region.
New England and the Middle Atlantic
states is seriously affecting many inter-
ests. The ground is becoming baked,
vegetation is at a standstill, streams are
lower in some sections than for many
years, and the water supply is rapidly
failing. Some heavy rains occurred along
the immediate Gulf coast and good show-
ers were general over the southern por-
tion of the cotton belt and sufficient rain
for present needs occurred over a large
portion of Texas, Oklahoma and the sur-
rounding portions of Arkansas and Kan-
sas. Eain was also fairly abundant and
well distributed over Montana, Idaho and
portions of eastern Oregon, North Da-

kota and western Minnesota. Light show-
ers in the upper Michigan peninsula
checked to some extent the forest fires in
that district.

Washington, D. C, Sept. 22. — The
Weather Bureau has issued the following
forecast: A barometric disturbance will
cross the country from about September
24 to 28, attended by rains that will set
in over the central valleys about the close
of this week and extend over the Atlantic
states by the beginning of next week.
Following the rains thCTe will be a sharp
fall in temperature, with frost in the
central valleys and eastern states north
of the fortieth parallel.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Last week there was again little doing
in the cut flower line. The warm weath-
er has a great deal to do with complaints
of dull business, not only in our line,
but in all other trades. Of course, there
is a spurt occasionally, or a good bit of
funeral work. What is needed to stimu-
late our business is frost and cool days.
The wholesalers, too, are complaining of
having to dump too much stock. They
cannot even dispose of all at job lot
prices, as those who handle this class of
stock are suffering with the rest.

There is plenty of stock of everything
in season and of all grades. Beauties
are plentiful, as well as other roses. Car-
nations are still too short in stem, but of
fairly good bloom and color. There is
plenty of fine valley. Cosmos is not in
yet. Asters, tuberoses and dahlias are
more than enough for all.

Variotts Notes.

Philadelphia was well represented in
the line of traveling salesmen last week.
They were: J. J. Karins, representing
Henry A. Dreer; S. S. Skidelsky, of Ski-
delsky & Irwin Co., and B. Eschner, of

M. Rice & Co. They all report good busi-
ness.

John J. Burke has reopened his store
at Sixth and Locust streets, and is show-
ing a window of fine ferns. A good
run of business is reported for the first
week.

James Young, of C. Young & Sons Co.,
says that they again have the contract
to furnish the decorations of the great
Veiled Prophet's ball, and that they will
be on a more elaborate scale this year
than last. A number of decorations for
fall openings will keep them busy this
week.

W. C. Smith and Henry Ostertag, two
of the Florists' Club's trustees, visited
the St. Clair county fair, at Belleville,
last week and report that the St. Clair
Floral Co, made a creditable plant show,
and they were entertained during their
stay by A. S. Halstead, who was director
of the art department at the fair.

We hear that City Forester An^ew
Meyer, Jr., was badly poisoned''"by ivy
last week and is confined to Jlis bed.

Herbert Heller, of Heller Bros., New
Castle, Ind., spent September 21 in the
city, looking over the prospects for the
coming season. Mr. Heller says their
cut of Beauties will be the largest in
years.

Bills for the appropriation of $425,-
000 were introduced in the city council
for the purchase of ground for three new
parks, one in the southern part of the
city and the other two in the northern
part of the city. The park department

is confident that the munixsipal assembly
will appropriate the -money. It is also
possible that $700,000 will be appropri-
ated to purchase the old fair grounds,
to be used as a public park. Park Com-
missioner Scanlan says the city needs
this property, as the park facilities are
becoming less adequate each year.

The Riessen Floral Co. reports a busy
week in large designs for funerals. At-
tractive window displays are seen here
every day.

Ostertag Bros, furnished the decora-
tions for the dedication of the new Jew-
ish temple. They were highly com-
mended. They were showing last week
a fine new delivery wagon. While Mr.
Ostertag was driving down town some-
one played a joke on him by placing a
sign on the new outfit, inscribed "For
sale cheap."

A. C. Canficld, of Springfield, 111., and
W. J. & M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne,
Ind., shipped the first white chrysan-
themums to this market last week. These
two firms are also consigning to this
market a fine lot of roses.

Charles Beyer had a number of large
plant decorations for fall openings of
downtown department stores. F. W.
Bruenig, C. C. Sanders, Alex. Johnsoti
and Schray & Son were also busy with
this kind of work last week.

William Winter, of Kirkwood, was
congratulated by his many friends in
the trade on being elected school direc-
tor at Kirkwood.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK.

The State Floral Society is preparing
to hold, in November, a show which
should receive the hearty support of the
trade, because it will be not only the
largest flower show of the season in the
southwest, but one of the large shows of
the year. Paul M. Palez, of W. J. Vestal
& Son, is the manager again this year,
the same as last, and the assurances of
exhibits which he already has received in-
dicate that last year's success will be put
far in the rear. At a meeting of the so-
ciety September 17 C. M. Dickinson, of
E. H. Hunt's, Chicago, and C. H. Hune,
of the Memphis Floral Co., Memphis,
Tenn., were selected as judges. There is
a large list of patronesses and the society
people of Arkansas will lend their sup-
port. The $2,000 offered in prizes should
secure keen competition. Among those
who already have pledged exhibits are
the following:

Koses, chrysanthemums and carnations — H.
W. Buckbee, Rockford, III.; Poehlmann Bros.
Co., Chicago Rose Co., ZecU & Mann and Ben-
they-Coatsworth Co., all of Chicago.

For orchids— C. W. McKellar, Chicago; John
Breltmeyer's Sons, Detroit, and Carrlllo & Bald-
win, Secaucus, N. J.

For roses and carnations — George Relnberg,
Peter Relnberg, Bassett & Washburn, Chicago,
and George M. Kellogg, Kansas City.

For roses and chrysanthemums — E. H. Hunt,
Chicago; Otto SchwlU, Memphis; Memphis Flo-
ral Co., Memphis; Baker Bros., Fort Worth.

Roses— John Wolf, Savannah, and E. G. Hill
Co., Richmond, Ind.

Carnations — Chicago Carnation Co., Jollet, 111.;
Baur & Smith, Indianapolis; Wietor Bros., Chi-
cago.

Violets, carnations and roses — Elmer D.
Smith, Adrian, Mich.; Vaughan & Sperry, Chi-
cago.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Trade and the temperature are
playing see-saw: first they go up, up,
up and then they go down, down, down.
The temperature last week ranged from
the nineties to perilously near the frost
line, and it made a great many of the
florists urge the help on to house some
of the most tender plants. There have
been one or two frosts reported from
Hagcrstown, but no damage was done.

Asters are on the wane, the bulk of
the stock being of poor quality and
much shorter in stem. Valley is in good
demand and of fine quality. A few
violets are seen on the street, but are of
the single varieties.

Carnations are more plentiful and are
extra fine for the season. They would
sell more readily if it were not for the
quantities of dahlias that are being sold
at 10 and 15 cents per dozen.

Boston and Barrowsii and Elegantis-
sima ferns are in steady demand and
all good plants find a ready sale, es-
pecially in the markets.

Various Notes.

Israel Rosnosky, of Henry F. Michel]
Co., Philadelphia, has been elected a
member of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club.

The bowling teams of Washington

ber 22 at the Diamond bowling alleys.

Walter Gray, of Catonsville, has com-
pleted quite an improvement in his
place. He had to do a great deal of
grading, which required a good deal of
blasting, as he found a regular quarry

Business is normal again and flowers
are improving in quality. Carnations ar»_ ^

quantities. Asparagus plumosus is
scarce in this section. The demand is
greater than the supply.

G. H. Baur will leave for Philadelphia
September 23. He will enter upon his
second year at the University of Penn-
sylvania Law School. W. O. Baur, who
has been with Smith & Fetters, of Cleve-
land, until recently, is now manager of
Baur's flower store in his brother's
stead.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Niemeyer and
daughter, Leonora, spent last winter in

The dancing hall had Beauty roses in
tall wicker vases among the palms and
ferns. Asparagus was twined around the
chandeliers and smilax was used in dif-
ferent places. The dining-room tables
were decorated with centerpieces of Win-
sor carnations and lily of the valley.

Baskets of pink roses finished with chif-
fon, ribbons and cords, and large pots of

OBITUARY.

Robert Buck.

After months of weary suffering, Rob-
ert Buck, of Washington Court House,
O., passed away September 12. For sev-
eral years Mr. Buck had been in failing
health and for the last year confined to
his bed. Through all his illness his wife
nursed him with a devotion almost un-
equaled, attending at the same time to
the management of the Washington Flo-
ral Gardens.

Mr. Buck was engaged in the florists'
business in Greenfield, O., until four years
ago, when he removed to Washington
Court House and established the Wash-
ington Floral Gardens, which at once
achieved a wide reputation, and Mr. Buck
was broadly known as one of the leading
florists of southern Ohio. He had the
esteem and respect of the community,
and his long illness and great sijffering
have aroused a universal sympathy, both
for the suflferer and his wife.

Funeral services were held September

15, after which the remains were taken
to Greenfield for interment. The I. O. O.
F., of which Mr. Buck was a member,
had charge of the services in Greenfield.

John A. Banker.

John A. Banker, of Salina, Kan., died
Saturday evening, September 12, at his
home, 513 Park street. He was 60 years
of age. Bright 's disease and heart trou-
ble were the causes. His health had been
poor for the last three months.

Mr. Banker was well known in his vi-
cinity as a nurseryman. He originated a
number of the floral beds laid out at Oak
Dale park, Salina, and planted nearly all
of the evergreens there, as well as many
other trees in the city. His faithful and
efficient service in beautifying the city
was rewarded by his being appointed
park commissioner about nine years ago.
He served in this capacity three years.

Mr. Banker was born near German-
town,, O., December 25, 1848. He was
married December 22, 1868.

In March of 1877 he removed to Kan-
sas, settling on a farm where Trenton
now is. Aside from his farm work, he
engaged in the nursery business five
years, traveling over Kansas for a nurs-
ery farm part of the time.

He left the farm and moved to Salina
in March, 1893, moving on the same date
that President Cleveland took the oath
of office. During his residence there he
was a most respected private citizen, as
well as prominent in his civic services
mentioned. He was a member of the
United Brethren church and of the Odd

Besults bring advertising.
The Eeview brings results.

A WELL PLEASED advertiser writes:
"The Eeview is certainly black on
white and read all over."

The Eeview always is glad to answer
questions to the best of its ability, but it
is necessary that full name and address
be supplied, else no attention is paid.
Names are not published except by re-
quest. ^/'^

This is the time of year when every
florist who sells to the public should de-
cide on a plan for advertising during
the next nine months. "Advertising
is to business what steam is to a loco-
motive"— and you should get up steam
for a busy season.

EXPRESS RATES ON FLOWERS.

At the Niagara Falls convention the
subject was brought up of express rates
on cut flowers going from north to south,
and in general shipping where ice is nec-
essary in warm weather. This matter
was referred to the legislative committee
and the papers that were read at the
session of the convention have been for-
warded to me. The papers so far re-
ceived are of such" general character that
in their present form little can be done
with them. In shipping fish from a
Hudson river point to New Orleans by
express, there would be an allowance of
twenty-five per cent on the gross weight
for ice, and after this deduction the
charge per hundredweight is $3; on the
other hand, if cut flowers are sent no
deduction is made for ice, but $4.50 is
charged per hundredweight.

What should be done is the revision of
classification for long distance shipments.
From New York city to Chicago the rate
for fish is as follows: Twenty-five 'per
cent reduction for ice from the gross
weight and $1.90 per hundredweight for
the remainder. Over the same line and
in the same car a box of cut flowers
would go at the rate of $2.50 gross

weight, and at the present time it seems
that this is a fair sample of differential
charges.

What the legislative committee would
like is explicit information from any
person directly interested and having ex-
perience, as to quantities shipped from
given point to given point, over what
line and the weight of the packages. I
have been speaking with an express man-
ager and he tells me that fish as a com-
modity is heavy and flowers for the same
cubic space are light, that where 100
pounds of fish would be in a box, twenty-
five pounds of cut flowers would make a
bulk package, and these freighted by
weight do not yield the revenue that
heavier and coarser goods do. Edward
Eeid, of Philadelphia, has pressed this-
matter at some length and the committee-
will endeaver to get the cases into such
form that, acting for the S. A. F. as a
body, this matter may be laid before the-
express companies' headquarters, where-
it may receive fair consideration.

Benjamin Hammond, Chairman.

PRICE OF GLASS.

The former price discounts of ninety
and twenty for both single and double-
strength window glass were reaffirmed at
a meeting of the Central Window Glass
Jobbers' Association at Pittsburg Sep-
tember, 18. In the course of the meeting
the fact was brought out that the stock*
of glass in the hands of dealers through-
out the country are greatly depleted, and
that the general trade prospects are much
brighter now than they have been for
some time. It is said that many plants,
will soon be started in operation.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

Press day for the final edition of tiit^
premium list is October 1, and before
that date all special premium offer? which
go into this list should be in the hands
of the secretary.

A list will be published in this book
of all subscribers to the guarantee fund
who have paid the first assessment, and
those who have not paid by October 1
will be dropped from the list of the
guarantee fund, by order of the executive
committee. All who have overlooked pay-
ing the twenty per cent are urged to
send their checks to the treasurer at once.

A meeting of the executive committee
has been called by Chairman W. F, Kast-
ing, to take place in Chicago, September
25. Important matters will be decided
and those members who cannot attend
will send in reports to be acted upon.
J. H. BuRDETT, Sec'y.

SUPPORTS FOR DAHLIAS.

Do the large eastern growers of dahlias
stake them, or let them grow ?)n the
ground? We find it is a tremendous,
trouble to tie them up. J. F. C.

The largest eastern dahlia specialists
do not stake their dahlias at all. They
generally leave one stalk to a plant,
pinch this when eight to ten inches high
and thus develop a rather stocky and
bushy plant. Some growers tie the stalk
to a short but stout stake. The smaller
growers usually support their plants, but
those growing them by the acre do not
as a rule attempt it. Of course, there
is an advantage in staking if you only
grow a small number, as yaur plants are
less broken down by high winds. C. W.

Now We've Got the Goods

Large supplies of Monrovia (yellow) and Fancy White. Up to our usual

quality.

It has been well known for several years that our growers have the knack of
getting the right finish on the earliest varieties.

Can fill all orders, but better give us as much notice as you can, for any
not set aside on orders have sold at sight thus far.

Beauties

We want you to try our Beaut\pe,
because we know the quality will
bring you back for more. Crop
heavy. All lengths.

Carnations

It really is surprising how good
our stock is, when you consider the
hot weather. Order some.

Kaiserins

The hot weather has been hard
on many florists, but has made
money for our Kaiserin grower.
Try them and see why.

Valley

You need Valley every day and
we can supply Fancy stock in any
quantity, at any time.

Green Goods

You have known our house for years as "headquarters for Green
Goods." For the fall decorations we can supply Asparagus and Smilax
in any quantity. Long strings, and we can quote special prices on large
lots. Also plenty of Sprengeri, Adiantum, Farleyense and all outdoor
greens. Best Ferns in the Market.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

It is the last week in September, but
the market is experiencing midsummer
conditions. The temperature for a fort-
night has ranged from 80 to 92 de-
grees in the shade, and there has been
no rain, except a couple of light local
showers, for more than a month. As a
result, the outdoor stock is of lower
quality than has been noted all summer.
With midsummer heat, the demand nat-
urally is not large, and whatever orders
come in are invariably for the better
grades of goods. Out-of-town buyers
have sufficient local supply of low grades
and are only calling on this market when
something choice is wanted. It is difficult
to meet their needs, and really first-
class stock is commanding first-class
prices. ,

It is doubly unfortunate that demand
is so low, because there is a splendid
supply of American Beauty roses. This
is the time when everyone can afford to
use these flowers, for prices are most

reasonable, especially when the quality
of the stock is taken into consideration.
The condition borders on a glut, but the
Beauties are selling well because they
are almost the only really good flowers in
the market. There are also some good
Kaiserin roses, and Killarney is in fair
shape, but other roses have been soft-
ened and caused to be small by the re-
turn of August temperature.

There is a steadily increasing supply
of carnations, but a good part of the
stock might better never be shipped. It is
useless to send the browned white vari-
eties, and there is no sale at profitable
prices for the flowers that have hardly
stem enough to permit of bunching.
Some Enchantress may be had with stems
twelve to fifteen inches long, and these
sell well where the shorter stock cannot
all be disposed of, even if the buyers
are permitted to make the prices.

The aster season is approaching an
end. There still are considerable quan-
tities, but nearly all are poor; many so
poor the buyers will not consider them
at all. Eeally good asters sell at sight.
Gladioli also are on the wane. Dahlias

are more numerous, but these are not
blooming the way they should, except
where the growers have had facilities
and inclination to apply the hose. Not
many other out4oor flowers are seen.

Chrysanthemums are in light supply
and strong demand. There usually is a
good call for the earliest ones and it
has not yet been possible to get them
fast enough for orders, but every day is
working a change in this respecf. Vio-
lets may be had.

There arc adequate supplies of good
Easter lilies and an abundance o% fine
valley. Cattleyas also are more plenti-
ful.

There is. improved demand for strings
of asparagus and smilax, but other greens
move slowly.

The retailers do not, as a rule, re-
port much increase in the business, but
there has been some large funeral work
in the last few days and several firsl-
class wedding orders have been handled
by the leading stores.

STANDING ORDERS

We want more regular standing orders for shipment every day, every otiier

day, twice a weeic, or as you prefer. '

A standing order enables us to select stock for you early in the day— therefore you get just the grade you
want; best selection.

With a standing order YOU know just what YOU can count on; every shipment on the same train. You
can sell with confidence. We will advise at what hour "additions" can reach us by wire to go out with the regular
order. Think it over, it's to your advantage as well as ours.

A NEW VIOLET BOX

Our new Violet Box De Luxe is a folding box, cheaper and at the same time superior to others. We shall
mail a special circular on this the latter part of the week. Watch for it. If you don't receive it, drop us a line
and you will also get our New General Supply Catalogue, to be mailed about October 1. If you are not on our
mailing list you ought to get on. We are both missing something until you receive our special olfers.

Special Bargain in Fancy Basicets

* Until September 30, we will allow 10 per cent discount on all orders for assortments of Fancy Baskets as
follows: $5.00 assortment for $4.60; $10.00 assortment, 99.00; $15.00 assortment, 918.60. Buyers who have tried
these assortments will not overlook this money saving opportunity.

tied in their new building at 118 East
Chicago avenue, where they have a sub-
stantial brick structure of three stories
and basement, for their exclusive use.
The removal from downtown has great-
ly improved their facilities and they have
enlarged both the stock and the fac-
tory. In addition to a general line of
florists' supplies and novelties, they do
a big business in the manufacture of
special decorative material for all sorts
of purposes. Large orders for Marshall
Field & Co. and Mandel Bros., for fall
opening decorations, are now being turn-
ed out. The decorators figure out a
scheme in autumn foliage or artificial
flowers and Baumann turns out the mate-
rial by the thousands of yards. It must
be fireproof. Some of it is remarkably
cheap and others, like some rose garlands
now being made for Mandel, cost as much
as $3 to $4 a yard.

Mr. Baumann thinks that, if florists
would familiarize themselves with such
decorative work as is done by the lead-
ing stores, they could get many profit-
able orders from smaller stores that do
not 'have their own decorators and where
the nature of the decoration required pro-
hibits the use of natural flowers and
foliage except as the finishing touch.

0 Various Notes.

Alex. Newett has resigned»Jiis posi-
tion with the J. B. Deamud^3ev, to
take eflfect October 1. Mr. Newett ^es
to St. Joe, Mo., to take charge of the
wholesale end of the business of the
Stuppy Floral Co. Mr. Newett has had
many years of experience in the Chicago
piarket and numbers as his friend every
man with whom he has come in contact.
Mr. Stuppy is to be congratulated upon
his selection.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
is at Ehinebeck, N. Y., interviewing vio-
let growers. So far as known, no other

Chicago wholesaler has visited the violet
district this year. Shipments are expect-
ed to begin about October 1 and to be
heavier this season than last.

C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, has
been named as one of the judges for the
Little Rock flower show in November,
which is expected to be not^only much
the largest show in the southwest this
year, but one of the largest exhibitions
of the season. F. H. Regal is a new
traveling salesman for E. H. Hunt. He
comes from Toronto and has been en-
gaged in the business for many years.
His specialty will be greenhouse sup.-
plies.

E. E. Piiiser is again on duty, after
a month 's vacation.

Carl N. Thomas arrived September 20,
and is again on duty with the A. L.
Randall Co.

The E. F. Winterson Co. states that
in six days last week its actual sales
of asters were 103,000. This does not
include the waste, which was accounted
for separately. For one grower, 30,150
were handled.

George Reinberg, who has been cut-
ting lightly through the summer, is in
line with the rest of the growers on
Beauties.

Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving con-
siderable quantities of Shasta daisies of
good quality and finds them brisk sale.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. has begun to cut
October Frost chrysanthemums. A num-
ber of growers will begin to make daily
cuts of early mums, beginning about Sep-
tember 26.

C. L. WashbuNi says that from the
way orders are coming in he thinks there
will be no trouble in selling 300,000 cut-
tings of the O. P. Bassett carnation.

E. C, Amling says the supply of early
mums, which has been one of his spe-
cialties for some years, promises to be
as good as ever in quality, larger than
ever in quantity and to sell first rate.
Regular prices have thus far been real-
ized for all received in the market, de-
spite the depressed state in other items.

The A. L. Bandall Co. received its
first Rhinebeck violets September 12, but
haa not yet found the trade specially
anxious for them. Prices range up to
50 cents per hundred.

The Kroeschell Bros. Co. reports that
business has picked up in good shape.
They are especially busy in the depart-
ment devoted to greenhouse boilers.

Mons Olson, of the Poehlmann store
staff, recently spent a week at St. Paul,
with a singing organization of which
he is a member.

Weiland & Risch have rearranged their
store, moving the oflSce back and giv-
ing more room for the selling depart-
ment. The ice-box space is to be doubled.

E. C. Amling motored to Milwaukee
for a few days' visit last week.

Percy Jones says this market does not
want Cochets while other roses are ob-
tainable.

C. W. McKellar says the orchid season
is opening well — fairly large supply and
good sale for the fall weddings.

The funeral of Emanuel Mandel made
business for all the leading retailers.
John Mangel had several fine pieces.

The Market.

All last week the effect of the forest
fires was evident in the Indian summer
atmosphere and business remained just
as hazy as the weather until Saturday,
when the first signs of returning life ap-
peared. The streets welcomed back the
surplus-sellers, and it looked quite like a
revival of old times to see the hawkers
with their roses and violets. Yes, it is
unfortunately true. Violets are on the
street again. True, there are already
some good violets arriving, but the sum
is not hard to add and it would have
been better for the violet and its growers
if not a flower had been sent to any
market until October.

Summer is not yet over. The people
who are depended on to wake the busi-
ness up have not returned to the city.
The fall weddings of any size are held at
country mansions. There is nothing
doing to materially relieve the conges-
tions of the market, with no frost and
no rains of late. You can realize how
perfect the best aster and gladiolus ship-
ments coi^tinue and how large they are.
The best of them sell readily. Of the
bulk, however, the least said the better.

Dahlias are here again in large num-
bers. I'he cactus and large varieties sell
well. For the smaller kinds there is ab-
solutely no market. Their season is so

limited, it is unwise for growers to waste
time and money in producing anything
but the best.

Carnations grow better every day and
the stems longer. Prices are low yet, but
will soon improve. Roses have had good
weather of late, plenty of sunshine, no
mildew, everything favorable for their
progress, and they have made good.
Better stock at this season is seldom
seen. Prices are unsatisfactory. The
man who can use large quantities gets
what he wants at his own price. Good
Beauties hold firm. Never a night the
Broadway florists fail to send to the
theatrical stars huge bunches and baskets
of Beauties.

Orchids in variety are coming in and
going out encouragingly. Prices are
steady, with a good shipping demand for
weddings in other large cities.

The stores are stocking up with palms
and ferns and it is not difficult to realize
that the ambition and expectancy of the

Plant Growers' Outing.

Nearly 100 members and friends were
present at the outing of the New York
and New Jersey Association of Plant
Growers September 15, attendance being
by invifation. This was the second out-
ing of the society this year, and the best.
A perfect day and most complete ar-
rangements by a practical committee,
with A. L. Miller as chairman, did the
business. There was not a hitch of any
kind from the noon breakfast to the 6
o'clock clam bake, with the prize bowl-
ing, shooting and dancing thrown in for
good measure.

The only accident Mas the smashing of
Paul Dailledouze's finger. He has a
baby on his hands now in earnest. Miss

the prizes, all valuable, and every lady
present was liberally remembered. Mrs.
Wittman put many of the men to blush
with a score of 161 in the bowling. The
three best prizes for the men went to
rank outsiders, but President Schultheis
said this was fixed by the big bowlers of
the society to show its generosity. The
music was continuous and everybody
danced. It was nearly 10 p. m, when
the happy company started for their spe-
cial. The tables were decorated by Miss
Mills, and everyone present carried home
a stein presented by Hews & Co. The
Whilldin Co. distributed tiny flower pots.
After the dinner Mr. Schultheis acted
as toastmaster and gave a splendid speech
of welcome and a history of the society
and its harmony and accomplishments.
He kept the company interested for an
hour with story telling and orations, in-
terspersed by the national melodies of the
United States, Germany, France, Ireland
and Scotland, sons of each being among
the membership of the association.
Among the speakers were Julius Eoehrs,
H. C. Steinhoff, W. J. Elliott, Secretary
Siebrecht, John Birnie, A. L. Miller, W.
J. Stewart and others. '* '

American Institute Show.

Thfe autumn exhibition at the Amer-
ican Institute, which opened September
22, brought out the finest display of
liahlias ever seen in New York and there
was a large attendance. Among the
prize winners for dahlias were the fol-
lowing: J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, N.
J.; Geo. L. Stillman, Westerly, K. I.;
A. B. Hathaway, New Bedford, Mass.;
W. P. Lothrop, East Bridgewater, Mass. ;
Mrs. Jahn, New Bedford, Mass.; W. .F.

Turner, New Bedford, Mass.; Mrs. Tre-
vor, Yonkers, N. Y. ; Howard Gould and
many others. The principal exhibitor of
gladioli was John Lewis Childs, of Floral
Park. Exhibitors of hardy herbaceous
plants included J. T. Lovett, Little Sil-
ver, and Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford.

Harry Turner, superintendent for
Howard Gould, had grand groups of or-
chids and dahlias and the orchid exhibits
of Julius Eoehrs Co. and Lager & Hur-
rell were specially fine. Mr. Turner also
had a splendid group of cclogja and a
remarkable specimen palm.

On roses L. M. Noe, of Madison, was
first, and Mrs. Trevor, Yonkers, second.
On carnations, the Kennedy estate was
first. On violets, Mrs. Trevor was first.

Fruits were exhibited by Ellwanger &
Barry, Rochester; M. E. Tator, Redhook,
and many others. There also was an ex-
cellent exhibit of vegetables.

J. T. Lovett 'a dahlias were one of the
notable features.

Various Notes.

Arthur T. Boddington has secured two
floors at 337 and 339 West Thirteenth
street. In speaking of this addition to
his facilities he said : * ' Each floor is ap-
proximately 50x100 feet. This space is
cellar and basement, so that it gives us
an increase of 10,000 square feet to do
business in. We still retain the store we
formerly had, which is 25x100 feet, which
gives us 7,500 square feet of floor space
there, each floor being 2,500 square feet.
We have, therefore, more than doubled
our capacity. Our store nOw runs
through from Fourteenth street to Thir-
teenth street. All our business is now
concentrated on the two street floors and

the basement. We have three freight
elevators for bringing up heavy goods
from the cellar and this will enable us
to carry suflBcient stocks of fertilizers of
all kinds, and special facilities for carry-
ing hardy roses and nursery stock
through the winter. The flower and vege-
table seed business will be kept in the
Fourteenth street store, as has always
been done. The rear warehouse, facing
on Thirteenth street, will be used for car-
rying the stock of bulbs and heavy
seeds. ' '

At Masur's, in Brooklyn, new mirrors,
ice-box and electric effects have added
much to the effectiveness of the store.

It is reported that the Newport season
has not been up to other years, there
being few large social events. Wadley &
Smythe, however, have had some large
landscape orders. \

It is rumored that Wertheimer Bros.,
the ribbon house, will shortly establish
selling offices in Chicago and San Fran-
cisco.

Good crowds attended the opening sales
of the season at Elliott's and Cleary's
this week Tuesday, and from now on,
every Tuesday and Friday till the ground
freezes, the retailers and the suburban-
ites will gather under the spell of the
auctioneers.

Hay fever still has its grip on F. H.
Traendly.

Tanner Burke, for nineteen years with
Dards, has graduated to the wholesale
section and is now with Moore, Hentz &

Roses are more plentiful and are im-
proving in both color and stem. Amer-
ican Beauties are making their appear-
ance in this market again. They have
been quite scarce this summer. Carna-
tions are scarce as yet, but the plants in
the houses are in fine shape and will soon
give fine flowers. Asters are done with
this season S^d. it has been the poorest
aster season that we have seen for five
years. Gladioli are also almost out of

the market, but a few can be seen in the
downtown store windows. Chrysanthe-
mums are looking fine and good buds are
forming on the early varieties.

Business is rather quiet with some of
the stores, but we are looking forward to
a good fall. Some of the department
stores are handling ferns in great quan-
tities. We think that they will take in
horseshoeing next. The early planted
Easter lilies are making a fine growth;
some are five inches tall.

Florists' Furniture

Parlor Plant Tubs, Rolling Stands, Saucers, Vases

Fibrotta Ware is made of Indurated Fiber — wood pulp, chemically hardened
and compressed. It is far superior to either wood or earthen ware, as it is moulded
in one piece — no hoops necessary ^^cartnot warp and is practically unbreakable.

In plant tubs, rolling stands, saucers and vases, Fibrotta is the ware you should
carry, both for your own use and for your customers. You'll find Fibrotta a real
business builder in this department, as it's infinitely more cleanly, durable and
economical than any other ware you can handle. It comes in either mahogany
finish or green enamel.

Ask your jobber to show you Fibrotta or write to us for price list.

We have just completed our four-
teenth year in the commission busi-
ness. We are justly proud of our
record. From an humble beginning
we have grown to be counted among
the six largest commission houses in
the country. Continued success in
business is only possible where sound
and conservative methods are its
foundation.

We do not aim to do all the busi-
ness, but we do aim to do some of it,
and do it right. Would it be posiible
to build up a business such as we
have done, if we had not conducted
business for fourteen years in " the
right way" ?

We aim to make business financial-
ly profitable to " three,'' that make
our business possible, the grower, the
retailer, and ourselves. Most of our
growers are prosperous; we can
readily see it by their expansion, by
looking back a few years. The re-
tailers that have dealt with us for
years must have found their dealings
profitable. The best proof is that
they are dealing with us today.

Why don't you get some of this

Prosperity ?

Try our services and our methods.
One or two shipments is not a fair
trial, not fair to you or to us. Let us
have your business for a month or
two, and after that we know the

J. Austin, a florist at Thirty-fifth and

LIFE ON THE ROAD.

The traveling salesman may, in certain
instances, lead what Danny Dreamer
calls "a gay life," but there are other
features incidenlE to occupation on the
road. Martin Beukauf, of Bayersdorfer
& Co., Philadelphia, encountered one of
these experiences at San Marcos, Tex.,
September 16, in the early morning, and
it chanced that on this western trip he
was accompanied by Mrs. Reukauf. At
6:15 a. m. they were awakened to find
themselves, with other passengers, hud-
dled together in a bunch in an over-
turned sleeping car, from which the only
means of escape was through a broken
window. With his usual gallantry, Mr.
Reukauf assisted his wife out first, then
the other passengers, and last passed out
a miscellaneous assortment of clothing,

from which they were able to select all
their own attire except Mr. Reukauf 's hat
and cuflfs, with diamond sleeve buttons.
Seventeen passengers were badly injured
in the wreck, but both Mr. and Mrs.
Reukauf escaped without a hurt.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

Values are extraordinarily good in the
cut flower market. It is seen in cattleyas,
in Beauties, in valley, in roses of the
tea varieties, in carnations, in asters, in
dahlias; in fact, in everything. The crit-
ical buyer can find little to find fault
with, no matter what he wants. Every-
thing is good, and everything is abun-
dant. I do not mean by this that there
are not plenty of poor flowers, for there
are, enough and to burn, and there is no
other possible use for them. But there
are so many good flowers that no one
need lack.

The features of the market are the im-
provement in quality and quantity" in the
dahlia, an improvement that the public
seems slow to grasp; the falling off in
quantity of fancy asters, the colored
sorts being less abundant than the
whites; the improvement in carnations,
the new crop from indoor-grown stock
showing vast improvement over a week
ago, and the advance made by single vio-
, lets in quantity and in quality.

Richmond roses have been vastly over-
done. They are fine, but no one wants
them, not at least nearly enough of them
to make an impression on the market.
Brides and Maids are improving, but
they are not selling particularly '^ell.
Valley is fine and has sold well at times.

The general market is unsatisfactory.
Shipping business is picking up, there
being quite a few orders from outside
towns. Wild smilax and autumn foliage
are excellent and can be had in quantity.

Various Notes.

William Warner Harper returned from
a trip in the central part of Pennsyl-
vania September 21. Mr. Harper says
that the drought has been worse there
than on the eastern seaboard, the trees
ih many cases having shed their leaves,
notably at Montrose.

Charles Henry Fox has a beautiful
window display at the Sign of the Rose,
consisting of crotons, cat-tails and rib-
bons of autumn tints. The opposite
window is tastefully arranged with dah-
liaa and autumn foliage. Mr. Fox's de-
termination to part with his uptown shop
continues to interest the street.

Martin Reukauf, with H. Bayersdorfer
& Co., was in a serious railway accident
in Texas last week. While Mr. Reukauf
was dazed, he fortunately escaped bodily
injury, and only lost a few trifling ar-
ticles. His escape was a narrow one.

David Herbert & Son, Atco, N. J., are
sending some choice dahlias to the S. S.

Walter P. Stokes is offering some fine
decorative plants grown at Floracroft,

ket as extraordinarily favorable to in-
tending buyers.

tionally fine Beauties, Reid's brand, of
course.

State of Trade.

Trade is somewhat on the mend. While
funeral work has not been extra heavy,
there have been a great many fall open-
ings, which have used up a good lot of
stock, both in plants for decorating and
in cut flowers. One of the most notable
of the fall openings was that of the new
Columbus Grocery Co., on the east side
of the city, classed as one of the finest
stores in the country. They have also
added a cut flower department and will
sell plants, etc. They opened for busi-
ness September 21.

Roses are fine now, of good color and
good stem and foliage. Carnations are
getting more plentiful, but good, long
stock is still scarce, although the outlook
is good for the near future, both in quan-
tity and quality. Asters are about done;
the dry weather of the last six weeks
or more has told on all outdoor stock.

things booming. No doubt election is
also taking the time of many people
who would be buying flowers. All in-

around Pkilip Breitmeyer, who seems
to be the favorite of three candidates
for the Republican nomination for
mayor. By tho time this is in print,
there is little doubt he will have been
nominated.

Good asters are becoming scarce.
White ones are plentiful in the me-

replace asters.

Qub Meetine.

The regular meeting of the Florists'

attended. J. A. Bissinger, of Lansing,
was elected a member. Wm. Dilger was
pleased with this vote. He said the

its ranks. He hoped to some day see
the present Detroit Florists' Club trans-
formed into the Horticultural Society
of Michigan, a society to be made up
of professional florists, nurserymen,
etc., of Detroit, and all surrounding
towns in Michigan. This idea met with
the hearty approval of everyone
present.

The committee on the revision of the

constitution and by-laws handed in a
lengthy report on their revision. This
brought forth a spirited discussion,
but as this is rather an important mat-
ter it was moved that the whole be put
over until the next meeting.

Hugo Schroeter made a motion, which
was carried, that printed application
blanks be used in the future.

Help the Violet

Start the Season Right

It is as easy to start the Violet Season October 1, as to let it wait —
besides, delay means loss to everyone, from grower to retailer. Carry
Violets in stock every day from now on — show them — suggest them —
use them where the choice of flowers is left to your discretion. Give the
Violet a start— it means more business now and more business later.

auditing committee. This committee
was directed, at the meeting of Septem-
ber 2, to have a heart-to-heart talk with
the delinquents, some of whom are sev-
eral years behind in their dues, mostly
through neglect. All those interviewed
promised to settle up.

Under heading of miscellaneous busi-
ness it was suggested by Chas. Plumb
that the chair appoint two members, one
retail and one wholesale man, to debate
at some future time the question of
selling ferns and plants to the dry goods
and department stores.

The death of George J. Evans, of
Flint, was ahnounced by Robert Ea-
haley.

Chairman Browne announced a good
old-fashioned lunch for the next meet-
ing night. This was well received.

Variotis Notes.

September 17 and 18 were award
days in the public schools of this city.
Seeds distributed by the Twentieth Cen-
tury Club last spring and grown by the

children were shown for competition in
many schools. The prizes included a
Boston fern, donated by the Detroit
Florists' Club. The judges were Chas.
Plumb, Walter Taepke, Albert Pochelon,
J. F. Sullivan, Jerome K. Stock and
Hugo Schroeter.

W. B. Brown had quite an elaborate
church and house decoration Septem-
ber 22.

The Detroit Cut Flower Supply
House will be better- able to meet the
demand for carnations this winter, as
it will be getting daily shipments from
its Pontiac place,

B. Schroeter has some well grown
Whitmani ferns and reports a good sale
of the same.

Sullivan's are cutting some fine Kil-
larney roses.

Wm. Hielscher reports receiving some
good orders from out of town.

The Market.

Trade continues good, despite the heat
and drought. Good flowers are in fair
supply. Second grades and culls are
abundant. The biggest glut has been in
roses and some cheap outdoor stock.
Good asters are scarce. The market is
well supplied with the poorer grades..
Good sweet peas are still being mar-
keted.

Carnations are improving in quality
each day, with the supply about equal to
the demand. A few early mums have
sold well, though there will be no par-
ticular demand for them until there is.

The firm of Moore & Simon, Philadel-
phia, has been dissolved, J. M. Simon
selling his interest to C. W. Moore.

It is stated that grandchildren will con-
test the will of the late W. W. Eawson,
Boston, who left an estate of about half
a million.

James Vick's Sons, Rochester, had
an attractive exhibit at the New York
State Fair at Syracuse last week, in
charge of Chas. H. Vick.

A NARROW petaled white aster named
Unicum, exhibited by Watkins & Simp-
son, London, has attracted much favor-
able attention at the English exhibitions
this month.

On the boat from Marseilles that ar-
rived at New York September 16 R. M.
Ward & Co. had 350 cases of French
bulbs and Schulz & Ruckgaber sixty-
eight cases.

I VERY much enjoy reading the Re-
view and I do not believe there is a
paragraph from one end to the other
that I ever miss. — Henry Field, of the
Field. Seed Co., Shenandoah, la.

Francis Brill estimates the number
of acres on Long Island devoted to grow-
ing cabbages for seed as 150 or more.
This year some crops are short, a few
flat failures, but mainly there is a fairly
good yield and good samples.

Arthur T. Boddixgton, New York, has
secured two floors, each 50x100, at 337
and 339 "West Thirteenth street, directly
in the rear of his store and oflBce at 342
West Fourteenth street. The new»space
is to be used for warehousing bulbs and
heavy seeds.

The Henry Field Seed Co., of Shen-
andoah, la., at its recent annual meet-
ing, declared a dividend of eight per
cent and reelected all the old officers
for the ensuing year. The report of the
year 's , business showed a prosperous
year, with large sales and good profits.
The firm expects a much larger busi-
ness next year, as the increase this year
over last was about fifty-eight per cent,
and a still larger increase is looked for
next year.

D. H. Gilbert, Monticello, Fla., says
that "nearly all the early plantings of
watermelon for seed have turned out
about an average crop, but as usual the
late plantings are very short and in some
instances are entire failures. As a whole
I think I could conservatively estimate
the crop at about eighty-five per cent of
an average yield. Most of the seeds are
in the warehouse and, owing to the dry
weather during the harvest season, the
quality is excellent. ' '

The long continued dry weather is af-
fecting the fall trade in grass seeds.

There were two cases of lily bulbs
for L. D. Grossman & Co. on the boat
from Bermuda September 19.

Wood, Stubbs & Co., Louisville, say
they think the crop of onion sets is about
fifteen per cent less than last year.

If seed crops turn out as short as
now seems certain, prices will be based
largely on "what the traffic will bear."

The Covington Seed Co., Covington,
Ky,, now has one of the most up-to-
date greenhouse plants in the vicinity of
Cincinnati and does a good business in
that department.

An English firm evidently wants to
be rid of a surplus of Harrisii; it adver-
tises the 7 to 9 bulbs at 35 shillings
($8.40) per hundred, "instant delivery,"
which should be quick enough to suit the
most exacting.

* ' The only crops we are interested
in," say Bromfield & Colvin, Bay City,
Mich., "are peas and beans. The pea
crop this year, as everyone knows by this
time, is turning out very poor, on account
of the very wet spring and then the con-
tinued dry weather this summer. ' '

GusTAv - Schott, Aschaffenburg, Ba-
varia, says that of Agrostis stolonifera
* ' a further reduction in the acreage has
taken place. The new crop has gone
through in bad condition and the quan-
tity saved will be less than last year.
Yearling stocks being sold out, higher
prices are looked for. Our home variety
(creeping bent) will only be a small
crop. ' '

W. Atlee Burpee & Go. announce
three new Spencer sweet peas for 1909,
named King Edward, Queen Victoria and
Mrs. Routzahn. These three, now offered
for the first time, have been grown care-
fully, and most rigidly rogued, and Bur-
pee & Co. predict that they will come at
least eighty to ninety per cent true. King
Edward is the nearest approach in color
to King Edward VII, in the waved or
Spencer type. Queen Victoria is almost
identical in color with that of the well-
known grandiflora Queen Victoria. Mrs.
Routzahn is a rich apricot color shaded
salmon pink.

The figures as to the imports of Dutch
bulbs through the port of New York
reveal an interesting fact as to the pro-
portion of bulbs sold direct to planters
by the travelers from Hollandi and those
sold to the jobbing trade. Most of the
travelers who call on small buyers make
their New York headquarters with
Maltus & Ware and ship in their c^re.
Not all the bulbs handled by Malt»«! &
Ware go to small buyers, but most of
them do, and it will be noted that out of
7,606 cases on the last three boats this
firm of forwarding agents handled 4,754
cases. Of the 2,852 cases not handled by
them, probably enough went direct to
planters to fully offset any Maltus &
Ware had for the jobbers.

Is it because the catalogue reproduc-
tions of color photography do not seem
likely to impress the public, without ex-
planation, that so much is said about the
new process by those who are using it
this season? Or are they simply trying
to get their money's worth!

The Morris & Snow Seed Co., of Los
Angeles, Cal., recently incorporated, has
moved to new and larger quarters at
425 South Main street. The former
location was 555 South Main street. The
officers of the company are: President,
O. M. Morris; vice-president, B. F.
Reichard; secretary and treasurer, M.
C. Snow. Tne new and more favorable
location will give opportunity for en-
largement of stock and a much larger
business.

THE PRICE OF SETS.

Can you give me any information as
to th& probable future prices of onion
sets, particularly white sets! Is the set
crop, as a whole, better this year than
last, and how will the prices this year
compare with those of last yeart Any
information concerning the set crop and
prices expected will be thankfully re-
ceived. B. S. K.

The onion set crop of this year is, on
the whole, not so large as last year. At
the present time the prices are twenty-

five per cent higher than at the same
time last year. There does not appear
to be any proportionate difference in
the quantity of any of the colors, com-
pared with last year. White sets usually
bring 15 to 25 cents per bushel more
than either of the other colors, From
the reports so far received, well posted
dealers in sets are of the opinion that
the percentage of advance in the prices
now prevailing will continue to hold good
for the full season. It may be that if
we get a real stiff, cold winter, spring
prices will be fifty per cent higher than
they were last spring.

PEAS AND BEANS.

An operator in^the Michigan growing
territory wrote as follows to the Eeview
under date of September 18:

"We have nothing new to report in
reference to pea and bean crops, except
to say that all are coming in short of es-
timates that were made in the fields. We
expect that both peas and beans will be
of gdod quality, except that beans will
probably be smaller than usual on ac-
count of the dry weather.

"Commercial beans remain very firm
at a slight advance and it looks as though
they will remain firm during the season.
In our opinion it is absolutely unneces-
sary for seedsmen to give away their
peas and beans at low prices. Those who
have contracted ahead for their full sup-
ply of both peas and beans have made
no mistake.

^Please do not mention our nam6 in
any' note you make from this letter, as
it might give the dealers a wrong im-
pression. They might charge us with try-
ing to bull the market when as a matter
of fact we are not, as we have but very
few of either peas or beans to sell."

MICHIGAN SEED CROPS.

S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich.,
write as follows under date of September
19: ''Conditions are not. satisfactory.
We have had a most unfavorable season.
The spring was late, and while planting
time was followed by some favorable
weather, yet before the crops were far
enough along, it became too dry and has
remained so up to the present time. It
is well known that peas are very short
and we do not believe beans will run over
fifty per cent, on an average; vine crops
probably twenty per cent to thirty per
cent. Conditions this year were very un-
usual for Michigan, as this state is usu-
ally favored with good growing weather. ' '

Darling & Beahan^^ of Petoskey, Mich.,
make a specialty of peas, beans and po-
tatoes for seed purposes. They endeavor
to keep pretty well posted on these three
lines, but say they do not pay much at-
tention to other lines of seeds except in a
retail way. Under date of September 19
they say:

"The 1908 pea ccop with us is very
poor indeed and as near as we can learn
it is about the same all oyer the Michi-
gan pea growing district. While our own
crops are not all in, we have received
enough from the farmers to give us an
idea of how they will run. Hosford's
.Market Garden, Bliss' Abundance, Sur-
prise, Telephone and Champion of Eng-
land are averaging about three-fifths of
an average crop; Everbearing, American
Wonder, Ameer, Advancer, Thomas Lax-
ton and Early Market about one-half of
an average; Alaska, Extra Early and
Nott's Excelsior about two-fifths of an
average; Gradus and Gems about one-
fourth of an average.

"As we said before, these figures are
based on crops which have already been
delivered. While they ought to indicate
pretty accurately what the final result
will be, crops that come in later may run
a little better, or worse, and change th5ni~
somewhat.

"Up to the present time few beans
have come in, so we can not form any
estimate from crops already in hand. We
are confident, however, from the inspec-
tion of crops in the field, that we will
not receive more than one-half of an
average crop. Wardwell's Kidney Wax
and Davis' White Wax have suffered the
most. Golden Wax and Black Wax and
the green pod sorts wiy be some better.

"Potatoes will not be ijne-half of an
average crop in this vicinity, and from
reports we have had we are confident
that they are pretty poor all over the
state.

' ' These bad conditions have been
brought about by unfavorable weather.
The spring was late and cold, so that
early sowed peas and beans rotted in the
ground and did not come up. June was
very dry, with hot winds, which damaged
the early peas to a great extent. About
July 4 we had a good rain, but have not
had any since that time. Along about

the last of August we had a bad freeze,
which finished up what the bad weather
had left on low land. Potatoes and corn
on high land are still in fair condition,
so far as frost goes, but they are now
too far gone for rain to help them.

"Take it all together, we have had a
very unfavorable season for growing our
specialties, so that we will be buyers of
some varieties of peas, beans and pota-
toes instead of having a surplus to whole-
sale, as is usually the case."

THE HOLLAND BULBS.

The export houses in Holland have
been working at high pressure to deliver'
the goods, but the weather has been
against them for the last three weeks.
Such goods as anemones and ranunculus
could not be delivered, owing to the ab-
sence of sunshine, which is required to
dry these roots. Owing to the continued
rainfall that followed the long dry spell,

the early gladioli, such as Cardinalis and
Colvillei varieties, had to be lifted in a
great hurry, to prevent their starting new
growth in the wet soil.

The unusually low prices that have
prevailed for hyacinths have caused such
a general clearance of all stocks that,
contrary to all expectations, no more are
left on the hands of the growers and
prices are showing a slight advance. Of
the tulips only a few of the higher priced
sorts are left unsold and all the cheaper
sorts have sold well. Even the May flow-
ering sorts, that moved slowly at first,
have all cleared ofif. Crocus are sold out
clean and only a few of the narcissi
stocks are moving slowly, and may pos-
sibly be left unsold. Planting operations
are just beginning, but suffer from the
effects of the inclement weather.

GRASS SEED REPORT.

We are sorry to say that again we are
not in a position to report favorably as to
the crop of natural grass seeds. Early
in spring we had unfavorable weather,
but about the middle of May a change
took place, prospects brightened and
gave hope for a splendid crop. The
weather in the early summer, however,
brought much rain and cold again and
the development of seeds and later on
the ' ripening was badly influenced and
this accounts for the poor crop of some
varieties of which we will give you a
short description.

The German crop of Agrostis stolonif-
era had much to suffer from the unfavor-

and the quantity harvested will be small

for this variety has advanced prices dur-
ing the last few years and this year a
further advance will come.

The quality of Aira flexuosa is good,
but the quantity is smaller than last
year and high prices will rule. The same
may be said of Aira caespitosa.

The first reports on Alopecurus praten-
sis were favorable, but the opinion has

by the great loss in cleaning, which

E. E. STEWUHT, "'VKwii?^""'-

last year and prices are a little higher.
Anthoxanthum Puelii promises a small
crop only, and much higher prices than
last year have to be paid.

Some districts had a poor crop of
Avena elatior, while in others the harvest
turned out to be better and if one speaks
of an average crop of good quality it
will be the most likely.

The crop of Bromus inermis s&ems to
be better than last year's. Quality arid
quantity are satisfactory and prices will
see a reduction.

Home trade has used the small quan-
tity of Dactylis glomerata which was
harvested this year in New Zealand;
there was almost no seed for export. The
crop in Germany and Austria was bought
up at high prices and, considering good
qualities, there will be no chance of get-
ting Dactylis glomerata at a low price
this season.

The reports on the crop of Cynosurus
cristatus are various. In some districts
the harvest is good, while others speak
of a poor crop. As there are no stocks
of old seed, pretty high prices were asked
for the new crop, but it is difficult to say
whether there will be an advance or a
decline of prices.

Those who reported the crop of Fes-
tuca duriuscula and Festuca ovina as
being not favorable were right. It proves
that the cold weather in April and hail-
storms in May did much damage during
the flowering of the grass and the con-
tinuous rain favored the growth of clo-
vers and weeds among the grass, which
was unfit for seed saving and had to be
cut for hay. The seed requires much
cleaning and this brings a great loss.
The germination is satisfactory. There
is every reason that prices will go higher
still and will reach a point which we
have not seen for this species for many
years. Nearly all seed is out of the
hands of the farmers now and there is
not much of old seed carried over.

A better crop than last year of Fes-
tuca ovina tenuifolia will hardly be
enough to answer for the great demand.
Lower prices, than last year were ex-
pected, but speculation has brought them
to about the same figure as before and
recleaned seed demands the same high
price again.

The yield of Festuca heterophylla is
about equal to last year's and about the
same prices will rule for recleaned seed.
Although the crop of Festuca rubra is
somewhat larger than last season, it is
still not sufficient for the demand and
good qualities will be as scarce as ever.

Our home crop of Phalaris arundinacea
was almost nothing, while other districts
had an average crop, for which, however,
high prices had to be paid. The quality
is good.

There is a somewhat larger crop yield
of Poa memoralis, and of satisfactory
quality, but we shall see high prices for
this article, as a wild speculation has
brought the prices for this seed to an
extreme height.

The crop of Poa trivialis is said to be
a good one, both as to quality and quan-
tity, while the color is said to be a shade
darker than usual.

It is too early yet to say anything def-
inite as regards the new crop of clover
seeds, etc., but red clover promises a good
crop and we hope to see normal prices
once again. Alfalfa, which showed signs
of a good crop, is now said to be less
favorable. Trefoil is short everywhere.
On Trefolium hybridum, reports from
Canada are not favorable, while Germany
had a better crop and somewhat lower

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.

Peter Henderson & Co., New York,
send out the following letter with their
fall bulb catalogue :

"We mail to you under separate cover
a copy of Henderson's Autumn Cata-
logue for 1908, in which is described and
photographically illustrated choicest
kinds of flower bulbs from Holland, Pal-
estine, China, Japan, Bermuda, etc. Some
of these are hardy and may be planted
in the garden this fall to bloom next
spring; others, if potted up this fall,
will flower in the house during the win-
ter. Bulbous flowers are most showy,
satisfactory and easily grown.

"We also wish to particularly draw
your attention to the cover of this cata-
logue, which is unique, from the fact
that the pictures — front and back — we
photographed in colors direct from na-
ture, and they have been reproduced by
photo-engraving without touch of artists '
pigment, brush or pencil, thus showing
the first practical results of dreams of
years and fortunes spent on color photog-
raphy. ' '

The Henderson book is certainly one
of Ihe best bulb catalogues published in
this country. The paper, cuts and press-
work are excellent and seventy-two pages
are required to list the line.

PROVIDENCE, R. I,

The Market.

Trade is quiet here and will be for
a few weeks yet, until the sojourners at
the seashore and in the country return
and the outdoor gardens are depleted.
Funeral work has occasioned some busi-
ness, but that is about all. Asters,
dahlias and gladioli are abundant and
good. Roses are in excess of active de-
mand and carnations are showing great
improvement and strength. The growers
are completing the overhauling and reno-
vation of their houses and benching is
practically finished with the majority.
One downtown dealer, Saturday, adver-
tised 5,000 asters at 21 cents a dozen.

Dahlia Show.

The annual dahlia and aster show of the
Rhode Island Horticultural Society was
held in this city September 17 and 18, and
was the best in the society's history.
Benched under the direction of the exhibi-
tion committee, composed almost entirely
of practical florists, the display was satis-
factory. William Appleton was superin-
tendent of the hall. The exhibition of
dahlias, especially in the cactus vari-
eties, surpassed any ever made in this
city, and was contributed to by nearly all
of the specialists in this vicinity. Among
these were Mrs. H. A. Jahn, of New
Bedford; William Tarbox, of West
Greenwich; Joshua Vose, of Pontiac;
Herr Prest, of this city; E. E. Howard,
of Eden Park; George H. Walker, of
North Dighton, Mass.; Joseph Vance, of
East Providence, and William Appleton,
of this city.

In the awards, Herr Prest received
first and second prizes for the best single
dahlias of any named variety in the
show, introduction of 1907 or later, with
Referee and Macmillan, respectively.

For general display, 100 bottles, Mrs.
H. A. Jahn first, William Tarbox sec-

Vegetable Forciog.

FORCING TOMATOES.

In preceding issues of the Keview
there appeared Prof. W. S. Blair's
account of the experiments in forcing
tomatoes at Macdonald College, Quebec,
with a description of the methods em-
ployed in starting the plants and plant-
ing the two houses employed, also a
table showing the yield, both in weight
of fruit and in money value.

Insects.

The white fly is the most difficult in-
sect to deal with. To control it, we
confine ourselves entirely to the use of
hydrocyanic acid gas. It might be
interesting here to give a brief history
of the life of this pest. This fly,' you
all know, when disturbed will fly around
the plant and usually return to the same
plant. On examination of the under
side of a leaf you notice what appear to
be eggs, but on closer examination with
a glass you will find that part only are
eggs and part are nymphs. It takes
about thirteen days for the eggs to
hatch into nymphs, and when hatched
they move over the undersurface of the
leaf for a short time and then insert
their beaks into the tissue of the leaf,
taking on somewhat the appearance of
a scale. These turn into the adult white
fly in about five weeks' time.

This insect, owing to its sucking mouth
parts, cannot be controlled by poison
placed on the foliage, and you all know
that fumigation with tobacco does very
little good. We found that one ounce
of potassium cyanide to 2,000 cubic feet
was quite effective in gettiifg rid of the
fly. Of course, the tightness of the
house and the kind of night may make
it necessary to use one ounce to 1,800
cubic feet, or even stronger. This gas
is made according to the following
formula: One ounce of high-grade cy-
anide of potassium, ninety to ninety-
eight pure; one ounce, by measure, of
commercial sulphuric acid; four ounces,
by measure, of water.

Necessity of Early Benching.

I have already stated that in order to
run in tomatoes after carnations and
violets it is necessary to sacrifice the
latter part of these crops. As a general
rule, the market demand for violets and
carnations is not brisk after Easter, and
therefore we think it possible in many
cases to discard part of these crops in
favor of tomatoes. In no case do we
think it advisable to bench tomatoes
later than the latter part of March; in
fact, I would say not later than the mid-
dle of March, for the reason that the
fruit comes into competition with south-
em grown tomatoes, which are so plenti-
fully put upon the market during June
and July, and also with our own outside
grown tomatoes after the middle of July.
We are always sure of getting a better
price for the greenhouse stock, but even
so the prices drop materially after the
middle of July, as is indicated by the
returns from house No. 2, as given.

It is wise, also, to have the plants well
advanced for benching, for in this way
the crop is brought into fruiting much
earlier.

Does It Pay ?

Our tomato house returned us 42.72
cents per square foot from March 12

to July 29. This, we think, is a good
showing and much in advance of any
returns that could have been had from
violets or carnations. You have, of
course, the expense oi cleaning out the
other crop, working over the soil, and
handling the plants. This is not a largo
job, and I might also state that, in com-
parison with floral plants, the tomato is
not an expensive one to handle.

It is also a possible practice, and one
followed by some growers, to plant in
the carnation bench by simply removing
a plant or two where the tomato is to
be set and working up only a small area
of soil for this purpose, thus getting
some crop off the remaining carnations
while the tomatoes are making their
early growth. This, however, I would
not advise. I do not think that there
is any material gain by such a practice.
The plant does not get as good a start,
you cannot work over the soil in such a
thorough and expeditious manner, and
the carnations obtained do not compen-
sate for injury sustained through work-
ing out the carnation plants later on.

Whether the spring forcing of toma-
toes can be followed profitably or not,
you all know depends upon the particu-
lar line followed by the florist. He often
can work in certain lines at this season
of the year to supply a special trade,
such as bedding out stock, for instance,
and possibly in some cases do better,
but I am convinced that in a great
many cases the forcing of tomatoes can
be followed to much greater profit.

The Fairness of the Experiments.

Kesults similar to those given here can
be obtained by any florist. The plants
in this experiment were given only aver-
age treatment, for, as we aim to run our
houses along commercial lines, we can-
not afford to do anything except what an
average florist would find it necessary
to do.

We obtained only the wholesale prices
and did not cater to a special trade.
We could have obtained higher prices by
placing our fruit on a special market,
but we prefer in all our work to ship
to a commission merchant, getting rid of

FORCING TOMATOES.

In iJi't'ceiliiig issues of llie 1?KVIE\V
there a|)])ean'il I'rol'. \V. S. Blair's
account of tlie experiments in forcing
tomaioes at .Maedonald College, Quebec,
with a descrij)tioii of the methods em-
ployed in starting the i)lants and plant-
ing tlie two houses employed, also a
table showing the yield, both in weight
of fruit and in money value.

Insects.

The A\hitc lly is the most dillicult in-
sect to deal with. To control it, we
confine ourselves entirely to the use of
hydrocyanic acid gas. It might be
intercvsting here to give a brief history
of the life of this ]iest. This fly, you
all know, wiien disturbed will ily around
the jilaut and usually return to the same
plant. On examination of the under
side of a leaf you notice what appear to
be eggs, but on closer exaniiiiation with
a glass you will find that part only are
eggs and part are nymphs. Jt takes
about thirteen days for the eggs to
hatch into nymi)hs, and uhen hatched
they move over the undersurface of the
leaf for a short time and then insert
their beaks into the tissue of the leaf,
taking on somewhat the appearance of
a scale. These turn into the adult white
lly in about five weeks' time.

This insect, owing to its sucking mouth
parts, cannot be controlled by poison
placed on the foliage, and you all know
that fumigation with tobacco does very
little good. \Ve found that one ounce
of jiotassium cyanide to 2,0U0 cubic feet
was (piite etfectivc in getting rid of the
fly. Of course, the tightness of the
house and the kind of night may make
it necessary to use one ounce to 1,8UU
cubic feet, or. even stronger. This gas
is made according to the following
formula: One ounce of high-grade cy-
anide of ])otassium, ninety to ninety-
eight pure; one ounce, by measure, of
commercial sulphuric acid; four ounces,
by measure, of water.

Necessity of Early Benching.

I have already stated that in order to
run in tomatoes after carnations and
vicdets it is necessaiy to sacrilit-e the
latter part of these crops. As a general
rule, the market demand for violets and
carnations is not brisk after Easter, and
therefore we think it possible in many
cases to discard part of these crops in
favor of tomatoes. In no case do we
think it advisable to bench tomatoes
later than the latter part of March; in
fact, 1 would say not later than the mid-
dle of March, for the reason that the
fruit comes into competition with south-
ern grown tomatoes, which are so plenti-
fully put upon the market during June
and .luly, and also with our own outside
grown tomatoes after the middle of .July.
We are always sure of getting a Ijetter
jirice for the greenhouse stock, Imt even
so tlie prices drop materially after the
middle of .luly, as is indicated Ijy the
returns fnim liciusc Xo. '1, as given.

Jt is wise, .nl>-o, to have the jilants well
a(hani-cd for tuiuliiiig. for in this way
the crop is lirouLiht into fruiting much

earlier.

to July 29. This, we think, is a good
showing and much in advance of any
returns that could have been had from
violets or carnations. You have, of
course, the expense 01 cleaning out the
other croj>, working over the soil, and
handling the plants. This is not a largo
job, and I might also state that, in com-
jiarison with iloral plants, the tomato is
not an expensive one to handle.

It is also a possible practice, ;ind one
followed l)y some growers, to plant in
the carnation bench by simply removing
a plant or two where the tomato is to
be set and working up only a small area
of soil for this purpose, thus getting
some crop olf the remaining carnations
vvliile the tomatoes are making their
early growth. This, however, I would
not advise. I do not think that there
is ;iny material gain i)y such a piractice.
The jdant does not get as good a start,
you cannot work over the soiJ in sucli a
thorough and expeditious nmnner, and
the carnations obtained do not compen-
sate for injury sustained through work-
ing out the carnation plants later on.

Whether the spring forcing of toma-
toes can be f(dlowed profitaldy or not,
you all know dejiends ujion the particu-
lar line followed by the liorist, lie often
can work in certain lines at this season
of the ye.'ir to suj)ply a special trade,
sucli as liedding out stock, for instance,
and ])ossibly in some cases do better,
but J am convinced that in a great
many cases the forcing of tomatoes can
be f(d lowed to much greater profit,

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

Septembeb 24, 1908.

PACIFIC COAST.

Portland, Oee. — A. Bahn, of Rahn &
Herbert, who operate Pf under 's Green-
houses, was badly hurt, some time ago,
in a wreck on the Southern Pacific and
Js only now able to be about and attend
to business.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

Business has opened up again in fair
shape and a good fall and winter trade
is looked forward to by all. The outlook
is exceedingly good.

The members of the craft to a man
accepted an invitation given by Mr.
Haerle, of Hollywood, to visit his green-
houses, located six miles from Los An-
geles, September 13. O. C. and William
Saakes were there with their wives in
their automobiles. Others came on street
cars and by 2 p. m. there must have been
at least fifty florists present. Messrs.
Haerle and Turner are good hosts and
soon made all feel at home. A bountiful
repast and liquid refreshments were
served.

Dr. Houghton, vice-president of the
Los Angeles Florists' Club, was orator
of the day, giving an interesting talk.
His talk was followed by others, by dif-
ferent members of the club. A ball game
was gotten up between the wholesalers
and retailers, score 8 to 1 in favor of
the retailers, after which a picture was
taken of as many of us as could get in
front of the feamera. Three rousing
cheers for our hosts were followed by a
look through the greenhouses, well kept,
under W. H. Turner's able management.
They have just completed, and planted to
Killarney and Rhea Reid, a house, the
largest, to the writer's knowledge, on the
Pacific coast, being 65x300 feet. This
is only one of their many houses.

The Angeles Florist, located at 204
"West Fourth street, has changed own-
ers, being formerly conducted by Messrs.
Dieterich, Walters and De Ortignac. Mr.
Walters has bought out his partners and
now is sole owner. C. E. M.

CALIFORNIA ROSE GROWERS.

A tour among some of the principal
rose growers in the vicinity of San
Francisco reveals the fact that there will
be no increase of glass this season de-
voted to the growing of roses over that
of last year. For some reason or other
it IS apparent that the growers prefer
to direct their energies to the more easily
handled carnations, and roses have not
been planted in as large a quantity as
the apparent demand would warrant. Ex-
cept in a few instances, all the building
that has been done this season in the
line of new houses has been done by
Japanese growers in the neighborhood of
Elrahurst and Stege. Both these lo-
cations are in Alameda county and the
products are sold in Oakland and San
Francisco.

Burlingame, San Bruno and Elmhurst
furnish practically all the roses sold here
and in none of these places is there any
additional bench room assigned to roses.

Brides and Maids occupy most of the
space, with the latter probably slightly
in excess. K. A. Victoria is the only
other white grown in quantity. Beauties
are not being replanted to the extent
which their importance calls for, and
they represent practically three-fourths
of the entire space devoted to red va-
rieties.

Liberty and Kichmond are grown with
good success in several establishments.
Pot-grown Ulrich Brunner, which can be
set under glass or grown in lath houses,
is also seen. Testout is handled by
some growers, and I have only seen a
few beds of La France, Mme. Chatenay
and Killarney.

Perle seems to be entirely discarded,
as well as Souv. du Pres. Carnot. Cecil
Brunner is grown quite extensively and
is a very fair paying variety. A few
years ago Papa Gontier, Rainbow, Meteor
and Sunset were handled by various
growers, but none of these are being
used for forcing at present. G.

SAN FHANOSCO.

The Market

A few hours' rain last week freshened
everything except business, and it is at a
low ebb. Flowers of all kinds, except
fancy roses, are overplentiful and very
cheap and prices are hardly worth quot-
ing.

The new crops of carnations have well
established themselves and the quality in
almost all instances is fully up to the
average, except that the stems usually
are a shade shorter than they should be.
Asters are almost over for the season and
the price on such as are yet in good con-
dition has advanced several points.

appearance. Some good early whites and
yellows are being sent in from hothouse
grown stock. Amaryllis are about over.
Japanese lilies have held out remarkably
well and the retailers have found them
to be one of the best sellers up to date.
Valley is in fair supply, but moves
slowly. Sweet peas are in less demand
than they have been and the stems are
much shorter throughout. Violets are
daily becoming better, both in color and
substance. They cost the retailers $1
per dozen bunches. Several patches of
late blooming gladioli have been brought
into town and sell well.

Cut asparagus is more plentiful and
cheaper than it has been at any time
during the year. Maidenhair fern, on ac-
count .of the coolness of the summer, has
not grown so profusely as usual and the
growers have got it well cut down.

Business over in Oakland has been
quite as dull as on the San Francisco
side.

Various Notes.

The local dealers have received full
supplies of Dutch bulbs and trade ap-
pears to be good in that line.

State of Business.

Everybody is ready to agree with the
other fellow that there is a steady in-
crease in trade, and September is going
to pay expenses. Funeral work has been
much in demand, and there is no limit to
that created by the matrimonial proces-
sion. A whole week of Indian summer
has strengthened the cut flower market
and the supply of roses meets the require-
ments of every occasion. The few car-
nations seen are good, but short-stemmed.
Outdoor stock is still plentiful and the
quality is all we can expect.

Amoos tfa« Growers.

We reduced our avoirdupois a few
pounds one delightful afternoon last week

stantially to its range this year and the
house filled with adiantum and Whitmani
ferns attracted our heartiest admiration.
They were fine, handsome specimens and
looked like ready money. Everything on
the place, except the carnations, had de-
veloped a strong growth. Chrysanthemum
October Frost will be ready to cut in a
week.

Eahn & Herbert, our wholesale grow-
ers, are prepared to do justice to their
patrons, for the place is planted with the
most desirable stock. Two houses of
chrysanthemums are immense and we
have yet to see their equal. They have a
splendid assortment of young plants for
the shipping trade, especially in the line
of ferns. We noticed that this firm had
also gone in more strongly for violets
this year, having built houses for that
purpose.

The Martin & Forbes establishment is
always inviting and every department is
conducted on a thoroughly systematic
basis. The first chrysanthemums of the
season. Golden Glow, were cut here late
in August. Their bench of finely grown
cyclameif^would be hard to duplicate. In

fact, everything was looking thrifty, al-
though the same complaint was heard
here, and it seems to be general, that
carnations are a month late this year.
That there are exceptions in every case
is verified by the fine Enchantress now
being cut by F. A. Van Kirk. Starting
in the business three years ago with no
knowledge of their culture, Mr. Van Kirk
attributes his success to good soil and
constant attention.

Thomas Ellingham, on the Base Line

Jean Eobinson owns three acres of val-
uable realty. He also is building one
house, 30x150. His specialty is violets,
and his previous success and the healthy
condition of the plants prove his ability
in this Une.

Crossing over to Ivanhoe station, we
paid our respects to the proprietor of the
Steele Giant Pansy Gardens. For a num-
ber of years Mr. Steele was principal of
one of our schools, but finding so great a
demand for his high grade strain of pan-
sies, he has decided to devote all his time
to their culture. He has 100,000 young
re-set plants about ready for the market.

Variottt Notes.

E. Gill, nurseryman, of West Berkeley,
Cal., is in the city on his annual business
trip up the coast.

E. J. Bernecke, proprietor of the Capi-
tal Point Nursery, Olympia, Wash., is
also here on business. He has been buy-
ing rose plants here and in Salem, atd
says he found just what he wanted.

&MKBICAM ASSOCIATION OF NUBSBBTHEN.

Officers for 1908- 9: Pres., Charles J. Brown, Ro-
chester, N.T^ Vice-PreB.,C. M. Hobbs, Brldge-
port, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. 0. Seager, KocbeBter,

The 84th annual convention will be held at Ro-
chester, June, 1909.

The prices of nursery stock on the
Pacific coast are in many instances lower
than last season.

The sale for phlox increases every
fall and will this season again break all
records, for the finer varieties are now
reasonable in price.

C. G. NiEMAN, of Port Clinton, O., who
has heretofore purchased his stock from
nurseries, has made arrangements to start
a nursery of his own.

Irises are selling better this fall than
at any previous time, the public having
come to appreciate the merits of the
plant for beds and especially for bor-
ders.

HoYT Bros., nurserymen at Scotch
Grove, la., put up a winter scene with
evergreens and imitation snow at the re-
cent fair at Monticello. The exhibit
made a hit.

It is reported that the nursery busi-
ness of Kichard Smith & Co., Ltd., of
Worcester, England, is to be wound up,
in consequence of its having been carried
on at a loss the last few years. The
concern ranks among the historic busi-
nesses in the trade, and has a wide con-
nection, not only in its own country but
abroad, especially in the United States.

BORERS IN MAPLES.

One of my customers has a maple tree
that has a borer in it. They did not dis-
cover it until the leaves began to turn
yellow. Now they ask me what to do.
Is it best to cut the bark and follow him
around the tree until found? He seems
to be eating just under the bark and
around the tree. What treatment should
be given the tree and what prospects
of saving it! B. P.

The best way to kill borers in shade
trees is to pour a few drops of carbon
bisulphide in the hole where they have
entered and immediately plug up the cav-
ity with putty to keep the fumes in.
The carbon will soon suffocate the borers.
This is a better and decidedly more sim-
ple plan than digging for the pest, which
takes up considerable time and is not
always successful. W. N. Craig.

POINTS AT PETERSON'S.

At the Peterson Nursery, Chicago, at-
tention is divided between the peonies,
just now being shipped in large quanti-
ties, and the condemnation proceedings
started by the Chicago Drainage Board,
which is taking forty-seven acres out of
the nursery for the north branch of the
great drainage canal. Instead of going to
court, William A. Peterson and the board
agreed that three arbitrators should set-
tle the damages and value of the land
taken, and that judgment against the
drainage board should be entered for the
amount the arbitrators determined upon.
The board contends that the nursery is to
be valued as farm lands at about $700
to $800 per acre, while Mr. Peterson as-
serts that it is city property, on which

spent three weeks trying to decide on a
value, but their lack of success may be
in part due to the fact that they are
being paid $50 a day for their labors.
If the salary was not so good they might

Having had the finest growing season in years — still continuing —
our plants have already made sufficient growth for a very high
grading. At digging time they will average far higher than
any we have ever sent out — and their equal will not be found
in the United States or Europe the coming season. Growing
over thirty types— over three hundred varieties— in enormous
quantities — by hundreds, thousands and carloads — we can fill
your every want — and at right prices — prices that will give
you a profit.

The following are a portion of our growing^. We call your attention to them, and want you to

The Weekly Florists' Review*

scape work, or in small lots for planting
on home grounds. Festiva maxima has
begun to sell; it appeared at first as
though everyone was stocked up with this
variety to the point where there would
be no call from other dealers. It also is
noticeable that growers from whom Pe-
terson bought stock of other varieties a
year or two ago are now coming to him
for the same varieties, indicating that
they have been having good business.

The landscape department of the Pe-
terson Nursery has developed rapidly in
the last few years. On a recent trip to
Duluth and Minneapolis, B. E. Gage se-
cured several large orders. Work is now
being started on plans for a 40-aere park
at Pana, 111., and on the execution of
plans made some time ago for a large
private job at Ottawa, 111. So much
city business is in sight that a sixty
horse-power automobile has been pur-
chased for the use of the landscape de-
partment. The office space of this de-
partment will be increased during the
winter.

Movers of large trees will be interested
that Peterson's recently took an order
for the moving of a single tree from
the nursery to some city grounds ten
miles distant. It is a hackberry of fifty-
one feet spread and fifty feet high,
branches coming to within four or five
feet of the ground. The price for the
one tree is $400.

HARDINESS OF EUCALYPTUS.

Could you let me know whether red
gum. Eucalyptus rostrata, is hardy in
New Jersey? The seeds were brought
from California. C. H. W.

Neither Eucalyptus rostrata, red gum
tree, nor any other eucalyptus is hardy
in New Jersey. All will withstand sev-
eral degrees of frost, but they will only
winter outdoors in a few of our warmest
states. C. W.

PINE SEED.

The Vermont State Nursery at Bur-
lington used last year for its own plant-
ing and for distribution in the state the
seeds from nearly 100 bushels of white
pine cones. These were collected near
Burlington, where the pines fruited
abundantly last autumn. This tree ma-
tures a good seed crop only once in three
to five years, however, and but few seeds
will be found there this autumn.

A good crop is reported from various
other sections of the state and wherever
cones are abundant it will pay to collect
them. This must be done in September,
at which time the mature cones are from
three to five inches long, green and with
scales still closed. In October the scales
open while the cones are yet hanging
on the tree and the seeds then scatter.
Where pine trees are cut in September
it is easy to pick the cones, which may
in some eases have a value equal to that
of the lumber from the tree. Usually,
however, the cones must be harvested by
climbing the trees and raking them from
the branches. In this way from a peck
to three bushels may be had from a sin-
gle good tree. The green cones are
then to be dried under cover, when the
scales open and most of the seed will
fall out. When fully dried the balance
may be threshed out with a flail. A
bushel of cones would yield about a
pound of seed. The seeds are of about
the size and color of buckwheat. The

The Market

The continued warm weather has kept
business at a standstill, though there is
evidence of the coming fall business in
the gossip about town and retailers are
busily looking up stock. "When the ther-
mometer registers 92 in the shade in the
middle of September in this climate, we
are prepared for abnormal conditions in
business. But the first frost will kill the
outdoor product, and the people will flock
to the greenhouses.

Eoses are plentiful, in some cases show-
ing mildew, but in general very good.
Carnations are coming in, and selling at
from .$2 to .$2.50. Lilies, rubrums, Har-
risii and auratum are plentiful.

The first monthly meeting of the Min-

%sota State Florists' Association was

was not very well attended, but it is to

more interest will be manifested.

The Weekly Florists' Review^^

Seftembbb 24, 1008.

WASHINGTON.

Current Comment.

There has been an improvement all
along the line in the last week's busi-
ness, with plenty of stock, which is
coming much better.

G. H. Small & Sons showed the first
mums. They had a fine vase of yellow
in their window.

The Washington Florists Co. is cut-
ting some fine Cardinal roses. The firm
has grown this rose successfully for
the last two years. The new rose they
had last year is showing up finely. They
have a whole bench of it this year. It is
built like Killarney and has a fine, long
stem, with few thorns. In color it re-
sembles Golden Gate. It is beautiful
when full-blown and is a splendid keep-
er. It was much admired by E. G. Hill,
of Eichmond, Ind.

The return of President and Mrs.
Roosevelt to the White House this week
will make quite a difference in social
affairs in Washington. The reopening
of the White House will bring back
about all of the cabinet and many of the
diplomatic corps. The coming season
is to be a gay one, as Miss Ethel Eoose-
velt is to make her debut. She being a
lover of flowers, there will be something
doing in that line.

Z. D. Blackistone and family have re-
turned from their outing at Eiver
Springs, Md.

Dan Blackistone and family have gone
to Baltimore, where he has taken a posi-
tion.

Geo. A. Comley, after taking stock and
balancing up at his Wisconsin avenue
store, finds his business has been seventy-
five per cent better than last year.

George Shaffer has just finished giving
his store a coat of paint inside and
out. It looks fresh and inviting. He
has just received from Baltimore a hand-
some open wagon, to be used for hauling
plants and decorative material. It is
green trimmed with gold, with a canopy
for the driver, • and is the finest of its
kind in the city.

Gude Bros. Co. has in its windows a
vase of the Indian's Pipe, Monotropa
uniflora, a parasite, native in Virginia.
It attracts much attention, being a per-
fectly formed pipe.

The Greek who held fort for the last
four years in the basement at the corner
of Thirteenth and F streets, and was
arrested for passing worthless checks,
has moved out all his belongings, and
quit.

About thirty members decided to at-
tend the dahlia exhibition at the estab-
lishment of E. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co.,
White Marsh, Md., September 22. On
the return trip the Washington club will
be entertained by the Baltimore club
in the evening.

At a meeting of the Washington Flo-
rists' Bowling Club the following of-
ficers were elected: President, J. J.
Barry; secretary and treasurer, G. Sup-
per; captain, Geo. C. Shaffer. Delegates
to represent the club in the District
League: Geo. C. Shaffer, Geo. H. Cooke
and J. J. Barry.

A match game was arranged with the
Baltimore team for Tuesday evening,
September 22.

The Market

Business, on the whole, has picked up
since the last report, and would have
been better had it not been for the hot
weather, especially on Friday and Satur-
day, when the mercury reached 95 de-
grees.

That asters are growing less in quan-
tity and poorer in quality is clearly
shown by the brisk way the new crop
of carnations moved. These are of good
quality, considering; yet many show
signs of thrips, more so than in past
seasons. This is probably due to the
dryness all summer. Good, cool weather
will help considerably to remedy the
trouble.

Various Notes.

Both Holton & Hunkel and C. C. Poll
worth Co. report shipping trade on the
increase.

The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. says it got
its share of work at the openings, in the
new Fisher building, of Gimbel Bros,
and the Espenhain Dry Goods Co. This
work, however, did not help the local
wholesale houses much. William Edlef-
sen is up north, on a fishing and hunt-
ing trip.

At the store of the M. A. McKenney
Co. they report September business as
assuming a regular gait, with nothing
special to comment on.

Will Zimmerman, who was one of the
committee of four appointed by the presi-
dent of the local florists' club to help
the Outdoor Art Association judge the
work of the contestants who beautified
their back yards, reports the task done
and results gratifying.

The family of August Kellner, presi-
dent of the Kellner Floral Co., has been
increased by the arrival of a baby girl.

A. N. Kinsman, of Austin, Minn., was
in this city September 19 and also vis-
ited several of the North Milwaukee
growers. E. O.

LocKPOET, N. Y. — Frank P. Brigham
has gone to Newtown Square, Pa., having
secured a position with H. H. Battles, at
the Thornhedge Greenhouses.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Tor some time I have been informing
my readers of the very bad shape Busi-
ness has been in, but it is with a sad
heart I am compelled to inform you
that the climax came last Tuesday, Sep-
tember 15, when poor Business collapsed
and died. The interment will be de-
ferred until Bill is elected, when some
think another miracle will be performed
and Bill will breathe the breath of life
into Business. For the present, the
wholesalers are all keeping up a beau-
tiful display of Beauties, lilies, roses,
asters and everything of the best. This,
they say, is all they can do.

Various Notes.

Eandolph & McClements have just com-
pleted two houses, 20x175, and three
smaller houses. This will give this firm
about 125,000 feet of glass. This is
all filled with palms, ferns, crotons and
other plants. The only cut flowers grown
are chrysanthemums and gardenias. They
also force bulbs and lilac.

A. W. Smith is receiving some good
dahlias from the Altimo Culture Co.;
also quantities of gladioli and asters.

O. P. Beeb, 6105 Penn avenue, has
sold his business to Charles Eisner, who
retains Mr. Beeb as manager.

H. J. Heinz, the pickle man, took ad-
vantage of the rose market and gave
away roses every day last week to the
visitors at the factory and also the stand
in the exposition.

Miss E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg,
returned September 21 from an extend-
ed trip through the west, staying for
some time in Chicago.

Sam Capes has been quite busy with
funeral work for several days.

September 27 to October 3 Pittsburg
will celebrate its sesquicentennial. The
trades parade will take place Thursday,
October 1. The florists are preparing
an immense float to represent the trade.
Everyone within reach of this city will
miss something if he is not here, as great
preparations are going on to make it
a grand success.

J. M. Young, of Windber, Pa., tele-
phoned September 20 that the forest fire
was within half a mile of the green-
houses.

H. L, Blind & Bros, have leased the
large storeroom in the Empire building,
comer of Pifth street and Liberty ave-
nue, and began moving in at once. This
is a handsome room, larger than the old
one and giving much better chance for
window display.

Chas. Koenig is completing two houses,
each 30x100, which he will use for forc-
ing lilies.

Visitors: S. D. Greene, of Bayers-
dorfer's, Philadelphia; E. J. Fancourt,
of Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia;
Charles Peterson, J^ast Liverpool, O. ;
W. A. Herbert, Wellsville, O.

Hoo-Hoo.

Charleston, Mass. — It is announced
that Herbert L. "Wolf and Miss Bosetta
Asing will be married October 7. Mr.
Wolf was for fourteen years with J. W.
Howard, but for the last two years has
conducted a flower store for himself.

Worcester, Mass. — The Worcester
County Horticultural Society had an es-
pecially good exhibition September 10.
H. F. A. Lange exhibited Golden Glow
chrysanthemums. George B. McWilliam,
gardener for Mrs. John C. Whitin, bad
a splendid display of gloxinias.

Facts Worth Learning

LOOK, BROTHER MINE I LISTEN I im

What GODFREY ASCHMANN, the Philadelphia Hustler, the great foreseer, has

got to say. He never goes wrong.

W" HE PREDICTS GREAT PROSPERITY! °®«
NOW BEFORE THE DOOR

You will sell everything you have at good
prices. After a hot spell follows a cold one; after
rain, sunshine: after a panic, money plentiful,
and you have got a chance
XO FILL, YOUR POCKETS IF YOU WISH

TO DO SO.
ABF YOU FRF PARED FOR THE RUSH 7

Brother, think it over; it is high time. When
will you start in? Now, of course. Waiting
means suicide.

NOT ASLEEP.

We are well prepared to meet all demands.
The Araucaria King means to sell his Araucarias,
and the motto of the moveman means Keep a
Moving. Eighteen years of experience of im-
porting, growing;, shipping and handling of Arau-
carias brings us m the foreground of any mer-
chant in the business; so well known that any
florist from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean can
sing a song of Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias.

A Wonderful New Nephrolepis

Nephrolepis Superbissima

Introduction of 1908

We deeireiJto call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year.

It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they
were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over-
lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact.

It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green —
entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the
fronds never breaking down.

While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of
the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact
growth, the fronds being very denqe^ Bfm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand
more knocking around than any oth6r fern of this type.

It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant
that needs to be seen to have its gref^t value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class
with the other varieties.

It was awarded a rlfSl'ddSS w6r{lllCd.T6 by the Koyal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in
Londoa, November, 1907, the plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After
beiDK exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-clas-
Certiflcate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates
in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shippinK qualities.

We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

A NEW TUNICA.

Tunica Saxifraga rosea liore pleno is
a dwarf -growing hardy perennial of re-
cent introduction, useful in a variety of
ways for decorative purposes. As a mar-
ket plant, either in pots or clumps, it
will probably become popular and it is
a gem for rockeries and borders. The
double pink flowers appear in May and
keep up a succession of bloom until the
autumn. The foliage is a bright green,
resembling a saxifrage of the mossy sec-
tion. It grows and flowers equally vvell
in sunshine or shade, but does not like
too much moisture; it stands the winter
well. It was exhibited at the Ghent cen-
tennial and is sent out by the Royal Tot-
tenham Nurseries, Dedemsvaart, Holland.

BEDDERS FOR DRY PLACES.

Plants that flourish and produce an un-
interrupted succession of bloom during
long periods of drought without artificial
watering or assistance are extremely valu-
able, more especially in districts where
the rainfall is small, or where consider-
able labor is involved in watering. Hot
and dry positions, where the sun shines
with all its strength during the greater
part of the summer day, exist in most
gardens, and may well be planted with
the subjects under notice.

From time immemorial the antirrhinum
has been known to excel in this direction.
These plants have been prominent in the
van of floral progress, and we now pos-
sess a large number of exquisite varie-
ties. The rose-colored and pure white
varieties are fine, and few plants surpass
them for beautiful effects when em-
ployed for bedding purposes. Petunias,
too, are superb dry weather plants,
and flower with far greater freedom in
a comparatively poor and dry soil than
in heavily manured and moist ground;
in fact, under the last-named conditions
over-luxuriance is produced at the ex-
pense of the floral display. I have seen
dry banks planted with petunias, with
splendid results.

The same remarks apply to nasturtiums
of all sorts, and how infinitely superior
are the new and named kinds to the old
varieties! Cloth of Gold is strikingly
beautiful, with rich, golden foliage and
scarlet flowers, which are thrown well
above the leaves; Silver Queen has white
and green foliage, and is a great beauty.
The French marigolds must be included
in this category, and the more refined
varieties of comparatively recent intro-
ductions are fine garden plants, and lend
considerable brilliance in late summer, and
until cut down by frost. The bold and
aggressive African marigolds seem in-
capable of withstanding a long and con-
tinued drought, but verbenas call for
attention, and it is interesting to note
that they have to a great extent regained
their old popularity. Such beautiful va-
rieties as Defiance and Miss Willmott
have done much to bring this about, and
surely we have few plants to surpass
them as carpeting material, to say noth-
ing of their value in pots, vases, hanging
baskets, window-boxes, etc.

Zinnias behave splendidly under dry
conditions after their roots have pene-
trated the soil deeply, but bold and
showy as they are, they cannot lay claim
to being artistic in any sense of the term.
The portulacas are second to none for
dry spots, and in my younger days, says
a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine,
they were universally cultivated, the most
exposed and dry positions being allotted

BUFFALO.

The Market

Everybody has settled down to work
after the summer vacations. Business
has improved a little and with the in-
crease of better stock every day we look
for a decided increase in trade. Good
asters are scarce; that is, large flowers
and good stems, but the shorter ones are
overplentiful. Considerable stock , has
been used for the store openings. All
the large stores in the city have hal more
or less elaborate fall openings, and
palms were much in demand. The palm
question is a serious one, when the stock
is to be loaned to the dry goods stores.
The opening lasts for the whole week
and this is almost sure death to the
plants. Many protests are made every
year by the florists, but every store had
palms this year.

Various Notes.

At the last meeting of the Buffalo
Florists' Club more business was done
than in a long time. A flower show
was proposed and a committee appoint-
ed to prepare a program. The club looks
to every florist to take an active part
in this show and make it worth while.
The' aim of the show is not to put up
handsome prizes and enter for compe-
tition, but to show the public what we
have to offer. The idea is a good one
and is bound to be successful.

George E. McClure recently had a
narrow escape from a severe accident on
his motorcycle. The front forks broke,
but he was fortunate enough to come
out with a few bruises. E. A. S.

NEW ORLEANS.

Qub Meetin£.

The New Orleans Horticultural Soci-
ety held its regular monthly meeting Sep-
tember 17. The greater part of the
time was consumed in routine business.
Three new members were received — John
Heme, H. A. Steckler and M. J. Gurt-
ler, and four were dropped off the list
for non-payment of dues. H. Pap worth
was appointed chairman of the commit-
tee of arrangement for the next flower
show, in place of James Newsham, who
resigned.

A few very complimentary remarks
on the northern florists and on the Nia-
gara convention were spoken' by H. Pap-
worth and Charles Eble, who came back
a few days ago.

J. Sieber has charge of Mrs. Rehm's
place, at the corner of St. Charles and
Napoleon avenues.

R. Eichling, at U. J. Virgin's, has
taken a fancy to the growing of crotons.
They are certainly a fine lot of plants,
well adapted to our warm climate.

R. Chevalier, a large grower of mums,
lost his entire crop by too much rain.

The weather continues favorable, and,
no doubt, by November 1 we will be well
supplied with good flowers. M. M. L.

Beloit, Wis. — J. Rindflcisch, whose
greenhouses are located on Fourth street,
has opened a store at 514 East Grand
avenue. Souvenirs of Killarney and
Beauty roses were presented to the visit-
ors on the day of the opening. The new
store is tasteful and attractive in appear-
ance. An addition has been built to the
front and the interior has been hand-
somely decorated in green and white.

(ireeahoase Heating.

RADIATION.

Kindly lot me know if two 2-inch
flows and four 2-inch returns will heat
a greenhouse 16x40 feet? Do you rec-
ommend four 2-inch or two 3-inch re-
turns under each bench? The house is
to grow general stock in Ontario.

M. & V.

To maintain a temperature of 50 de-
grees with a boiler temperature of 180
degrees the house 16x40 should have at
least nine 2 -inch pipes. One of these
can be arranged to act as a flow, or
riser, and eight as returns or radiators.

I regret to say I can give you no gen-
eral rule for the use of pipes of various
sizes. Each house must be piped accord-
ing to the crops to be grown and the
heat and size of pipe to be used.

IN MICHIGAN.

I have two greenhouses, connected,
one 18x40, the other 20x40, three and
one-half feet to the eaves, sashbars ten
and one-half and twelve feet, respective-
ly; glass gables to south. At present
they are piped with twelve runs of 1-inch
pipe in one and eight in the other.
This is entirely inadequate for Michigan
climate and I wish to repipe them. Can
I put all the pipe they both now contain
into the narrower one, in which I wish
to grow principally carnations, and pipe
the other with 2-inch pipe?

After studying various articles on
heating in the Review I have devised^
the following plan, but do not know
whether the six 1-inch flow pipes will
supply the fourteen returns in the other
two coils, or not: In the 18-foot house
six 1-inch flows under the west bench,
six 1-inch returns under the center bench
and eight 1-inch returns under the east

Dear Sirs:— If the Morehead Return Trap cost ten times what you ask for it, it would

ered, in comparison with the steam pump I had Installed
before getting your Trap. I cannot praise It too highly and
I recommend it to everyone who talks steam. Yours,

bench ; in the 20-foot house one 2-inch
flow and four 2-inch returns under each
of the outside benches. By using this
plan I can work in the fittings now in
use. The pipes will all be under the
benches and about level with the top of
the boiler, which is an Ideal, Jr., No. 32.
Will this boiler carry this amount of
pipe? As near as I can learn, it is
rated at about 500 feet. A. L. W.

The 18-foot house, in which you pro-
pose to use the 1-inch pipe, should have
twenty-two lines of 1-inch pipe in order
to provide a temperature of 50 degrees.
Instead of using six of the >-inch pipes
as flows, use all the 1-inch pipes as re-
turns and provide a 2 -inch flow to supply
the returns. In this case I would prefer
to use an overhead flow in each house,
carried from the boiler directly to the
far end of the houses. A 2-inch riser
will serve for each house. I would fur-
ther suggest that if it is possible to
exchange the 1-inch pipe for li^-inch
or 2-inch pipe, it will give you much
better service. With your short risers

the 1-inch pipe is not as objectionable
as it would be in a larger house.

AIR IN SYSTEM.

I have a range of greenhouses on a
hillside. Two of them are heated by
a Kroeschell boiler and hot water in
4-inch pipes. The upper house is 20x40
and is used for roses. The lower house
is 36x50, used for carnations. The
boiler is under the southeast corner of
the lower house, seven feet lower than
the upper one. From one of the outlets
of the. boiler I run a pipe up through
the floor and by means of a tee heat the
pipes under the south bench and run a
flow across the lower house and up into
the rose house. The pipes are all under
the benches and consist of a flow and
return across the ends of the houses,
from which one flow and two returns run
under the benches. The pipes slope one
and one-'half inches in ten feet. There
are air cocks at the farther end. The
water level in the expansion tank is four

Khoesohell Bros. Co., Ohteago, 111. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 1, 1908.

Dear Sirs: I wish to write you a few lines concerning your No. 2 boiler which we received last
fall. Your boiler proved to be excellent in material and workmanship. It did the work very
nicely last winter with a small amount of coal. Others used up more than a carload while we
used only 15 tons all winter, including what we used in the dwelling. Every one in our neighbor-
hood has got a Kroeschell boiler. As soon as the other greenhouse men saw it they took a llKing to
it and now they've all got one. We speak well of your boiler to all who see it. The Kroeschell is
oar favorite if we ever get another. Yours Respectfully,

John Koenig, Box 88, Valley Crossing, O.

zero. Prices and catalogue on application.

feet above the heating pipes. This
makes the tank about twelve feet or
more above the top of the boiler. There
seems to be no trouble with the circu-
lation, but the upper room is slow to
heat, and air accumulates in the pipes,
so that it has to be let out two or three
times a day. Where does the air come
from and what is the remedy?

J. Y. L.

Your heating system appears to be well
arranged, and the only modification I
would suggest would be to run an inde-
pendent flow pipe from the boiler for
each house. Do not take off one riser
for both houses. One other suggestion
is to elevate the expansion tank so as
to give a little more pressure in the
upper house. If you can get eight or
ten feet pressure in the upper house I
do not think you will have so much trou-
ble with air. The independent riser for
each house and the increased pressure
will, I believe, correct both troubles of
which you complain. L. C. C.

GREENHOUSE ADJOINING STORE

Will you please advise me as to the
best arrangement for pipes and benches
in a new house which I am building,
here in northern Indiana? The house is
28x50 and runs east and west. It is
five feet high at the sides and twelve
feet six inches from floor to ridge. I
intend to grow smilax, asparagus and
bedding stock — no carnations or roses.
I propose to set the boiler in the base-
ment of the store.

How many pipes, and of what size,
would you advise placing on the side
and end walls? No pipes will be needed
on the north wall, as the brick store will
form that. Under what benches would
you place pipes, and how many?

D. B.

My idea of an arrangement for your
house would be to place all the piping
on the side walls except the main flow
pipes, which I would place either under
the ridge or parallel with the purlins.
Two 2-inch flow pipes along the purlins,
with five 2-inch pipes on the store wall

believe, give sufficient heat and be a
satisfactory arrangement, with hot water.
This will permit the use of solid beds,
which 1 believe the best for these plants.

* L. C. C.

OIL AS FUEL.

Which of the two is the cheaper for
obtaining steam heat in a greenhouse —
clean lump coal at 12 cents per bushel or
fuel oil at 7 cents per gallon, taking into
consideration time and labor? I have one
house, 20x75 feet, and am erecting an-
other of the same area. I heat with a
tubular, return flue boiler. Here, in
southeastern Iowa, I can obtain either
coal or oil at any time. O. K. E. S.

I think the actual cost of heat will be
a little greater with the oil, but when
cost of firing and the removal of ashes
is considered I believe that the oil will
prove more economical. L. C. C.

HEAT FOR A LEAN-TO.

I have one greenhouse, 18x85 feet, and
eleven feet high to the ridge. The side
walls are three feet high, with no glass.
There is glass in both ends. I want to
build a iean-to, 6x60, at the west side
of the house, without extra piping. The
west side of the house, where the lean-to
is to be added, is too hot. There are
three 4-inch pipes on each side of the
house. The boiler is rated at 3,200 feet.
The west wall of the present house will
be removed, to admit the heat into the
lean-to, where I wish to maintain a tem-
perature of 40 degrees in zero weather.
I am located in western New York.

T. W.

If the house you now have is piped
with only six lines of 4-inch pipe, I doubt
if it will be safe to add the lean-to with-
out increasing the piping. If there were
eight lines of 4-inch pipe in the house,
then I think the lean-to could be safely
added. If you have only six pipes, I
think you had better plan to install two
lines of 4-inch pipe, to make it safe dur-
ing severe Aveather. L. C. C.

DWELLING AND GREENHOUSE.

I liave a greenhouse 28x92, running
east and west, with a barn at the west
end and a dwelling at the east end. The
boiler is in the barn and I want to heat
the dwelling by running a 2-inch flow
through the greenhouse to connect with
the radiators; also a 2-inch return back
to the boiler. The expansion tank is in
the barn and will be only six inches
higher than the highest radiator in the
• dwelling. Will this work or must I
raise the tank?

The greenhouse is piped with a 3-inch
flow along the purlin from the boiler to
the far end, where it branches and two
2-inch returns are carried under the
bench along the north wall beside the
flow and return for the dwelling, with
three 2-inch returns under each of the
next benches, and another branch
through the office with four 2-ineh re-
turns under the south bench, all con-
necting into a 3-inch return near the
boiler. The boiler is four feet below
the lowest return. The expansion tank
is fifteen feet above the boiler and con-
nected with the 3-inch return at the
boiler with a 1-inch pipe. This makes
one 3-inch flow and twelve 2-inch returns
for the greenhouse, besides the flow and

M. J. B.

I believe you will find it necessary to
elevate the expansion tank. When the
plant is cool the whole system should be
full of water without forcing any into
the expansion tank. I fear that when
heat is put on, the tank will fill and over-
flow without forcing a good circulation
in the house radiators. You might carry
a pipe from the return end of the radi-
ator to the attic of the house, and place
the expansion tank there, or, if you have
a heavy chimney, you might bracket the

15, with beds in tho solid ground. I
intend to heat them with steam, using
2-inch risers and l^^-inch returns. How
many risers do I need, and how many
returns? As the weather here is very
changeable, I want plenty of valves, with
which to regulate tho amount of radia-
tion. How many valves are needed and
where should they be placed? The low-
est temperature in this part of West
A^irginia is about 10 degrees below zero.

C. K.

To maintain a satisfactory lettuce tem-
perature, about 50 degrees, during severe
weather, your houses should each be pro-
vided with a 3-inch flow under the ridge
and eighteen li/4,-inch returns. The re-
turns may be arranged on the outside
walls and upon the purlin supports, or
distributed uniformly over the surface of
the bench and about eighteen or twenty
inches above it. In either case it will be
well to place valves at each end of at
least six runs of pipe in each house.

HOUGHTON, MICH.

Houghton is to have another floral es-
tablishment. A. E. Lutey, until recently
manager of the Lakeside Floral Co., of
Houghton, Calumet and Chassell, an-
nounces that early next week he will open
a flower store in the Young block, on Shel-
don street. Mr. Lutey will be in charge,
and on October 1 expects to open a
branch office in Calumet.

Air. Lutey will receive his flowers from
Milwaukee. He has leased the Charles H.
H. Johannsen greenhouses in that city,
and has placed his brother, Henry Lutey,
in charge. The latter was grower and
manager at the Chassell greenhouses of
the Lakeside company for a number of
years. Flowers from Milwaukee will be
received here every day, and the new con-
cern will be in a position, by virtue of
arrangements with a large commission
house, to supply any flowers they do not
grow themselves.

ONCINNATL

The Market

Business is nothing to brag about.
One day it is pretty fair and the next
there is nothing doing. There is still
very little business, outside of funeral
work, and, of course, the demand in that
always comes in jerks.

While there is not much of a surplus
of stock in any one line, still there is
considerable waste, all things taken into
consideration. Roses suffer the most, and
their poor keeping quality has much to
do with it. Carnations are in fair de-
mand and the supply is increasing daily,
but the quality does not show much im-
provement, and they keep so poorly that
they have to be sold as soon as they ar-
rive or it is all up with them. Asters are
still in good supply, especially the white
ones. The call has been principally for
purple, because purple are scarce. Lilies
of all kinds sell well and there is a good
call for gladioli, with the crop fast com-
ing to an end. Dahlias sell fairly well.
Altogether, Beauties sell better than any-
thing else, mainly because they are the
best flowers on the market.

Mums are coming in and sell fairly
well for so early in the season. They
bring $3 to $4 per dozen, but were there
more of them the price would soon drop.
By the first of the month there will be
mums for everyone and at a reasonable

Qub Meeting.

The meeting of the Florists' Society,
held at the George & Allan greenhouses,
September 19, was a decided success.
There were nineteen members present,
and the business was rushed through
with an enthusiasm that prophesies the
success that will be made of the meet-
ing of the S. A. F. in 1909. Seven new
members were taken in, as follows: R.
D. Ruttle, Gus. Meier, Dan Carmichael,
Wm. Sunderman, Gutz How, T. R. Mil-
ler, Willis Kennedy. '

The picnic committee reported a sur-
plus of $17.50, which was turned over
to the treasurer.

The finance committee reported prog-
ress in the way of getting subscriptions
for the entertainment of the S. A. F.
Already we have quite a large sum sub-
scribed.

Max Rudolph extended an invitation to
the society to hold its next meeting at
his greenhouses at College Hill. His
invitation was accepted with thanks, and
the meeting will probably be held on the
second Saturday of next month. Mr.
Rudolph has an ideal greenhouse plant
and, outside of the interest in the so-
ciety meeting, it will pay us all to look
it over. He sells all the stock he grows,
and then some, at his retail store at 11
West Twelfth street.

There were two out-of-town visitors at
the meeting— S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadel-
phia, and Mr. Elverson, of New Bright-
on, Pa.

Business has been bad for some time,

proving in quality, but until asters are
gone will not be in much demand.

Paul Thomann has joined the ranks of
the downtown florists, having opened a
store on Clinton street, in the Whitcombe
House block.

The asters of the Vick & Hill Co. are
a sight, the finest seen here in years.
They grow for seed purposes only.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Septbubeb 24, 1908.

DAYTON, OHIO.

State of Tra^

There was a marked improvement in
last week 's business over that of the
week previous. A good demand for
funeral Avork seems to be the cause for
better business.

Carnations, which still seem a sort of
novelty, are becoming more plentiful
each day and the demand is strong. Ea-
chantress, Lawson and red seem to be the
most numerous, while white are very
scarce. There is still a good supply of
roses, but the market in its present con-
dition does not nearly consume the sup-
ply. The farmers are still bringing a
few asters into town on market days,
but they are poor in quality. Longi-
florums find eager buyers, and they are
fine. Smilax and all decorative greens
are selling fairly well.

The weather conditions are a little
troublesome to the florists, as the days
are warm and the temperature drops
considerably toward morning, thus keep-
ing them busy trying to keep the mildew
out. The drought still continues, mak-
ing it over six weeks since our last
rain.

Various Notes.

Our dry goods and millinery stores
are having their fall openings now, there-
fore the florists are making good use
of their palms and decorative plants.

M. Anderson, the Arcade florist, has
enlarged his store to twice its original
\ size.

The Miami Floral Co. is doing a
good business on field-grown carnation
plants this season.

Louis Schellhaas, of Miamisburg, O.,
called in Dayton, September 21. He re-
ports business in Miamisburg to be pretty
good. R. A. B.

To say the least it is a hard job
to repair greenhouses. At the
same tinae it costs money and cats
down the profits.

If you are "fixing up" the
houses for winter you will want a
few bars, some putty or fittings,

hurry. Send us your order and
we'll get it out without any delav.

We have in stock various lengtns
of sash bars and can ship small
repair orders in a day or two.
Such things as pipe carriers, pur-

vanized nails, etc., we have on
hand at all times and can ship
same day order reaches us, in
nearly every case.

To cut down the repair bills,
get the next greenhouse from na
and put the cost of repairs in the

BENCH BUILDING

L^

A CHEAP CEMENT BENCH.

I frequently see in the Review some-
thing about cement benches and I would
like to give my way of making them. 1
made my first one four years ago and
find it all right. I am now making them
all of eement as fast as the wood rots
out.

The following is the cost of a bench
5x55: Blocks for drainage holes, 30
cents; lumber for leg molds, sides and
bottom, $6.25. I used old rafters for
supports to hold up the frame. Cement,
two -and three-quarters barrels, at $1.50
net, $4.13. Sand I hauled with green-
house horse, and paid for the sand 50
cents. Total cost, $11.18.

I use only greenhouse hands, paying
for no extra labor. I get my leg molds
from dressed lumber, 1x4, cut it up in
2-foot lengths, nail it up and make a box
2x4. I use fivepenny nails and when I
want to take the molds off I can easily
draw the nails with a claw hammer, as
they are not driven all the way up. I
use a 6-inch dressed board on the outside
and a 4%-iii(!h board on the inside, for
the sides and ends, placing the boards
one and one-quarter inches apart.

Make a miter box out of 6-inch board,
to place the inch strips in. This holds
twenty strips, 1x1 inch. Cut them up in
blocks one and a quarter inches long.
As yon eut twenty at one sawing, it is
soon done. Throw them in water and
•drive a fivepenny nail through the center
while wet and they will not split. Dot
* these about on the floor of the bench
form for drainage. Put on your cement
and trowel it well to avoid cracks when
set. Under glass it is well to wet it
frequently until it sets well, to keep it
from cracking.

Before putting on the cement and
blocks, cover the boards with paper to
keep the eement from running through
the cracks of rough boards, and unroll
«hicken wire down the bench on top of
the paper. Tack on the blocks and then
cement. This gives a bench one and a
quarter inches thick, which will hold a
man after it sets.

When the boards come down they leave
the blocks in the cement, the nails draw-
ing out, or at least most of them. As
the blocks are covered over with about
an eighth of an inch of cement in order
to trowel the cement easily, the blocks
cannot be seen, but you can get under
the bench and back the nails up. A very
light tap will bring them up enough to
show where the blocks are. Then take
a piece of wood and a hammer and push
them through. You can push them out
with your finger if you will let them
stay about ten days, but if you have
more than one bench to make you cannot
wait over four or five days, as you want
all your blocks and lumber to go to the
next bench. In the statement of the
cost of my bench, there is $6.55 of the
$11.18 that can be used for a dozen
other benches.

To hold the inside board of the sides

in place, let it rest on one of the 1^-
inch blocks, putting a small nail in the
block, and let the board push against it
when filled with cement. Tack a small
strip across the top of the two boards,
to hold them securely in place until your
concrete has set.

Good cement benches can be made
cheaper than wooden ones.

Make the cement as follows: One part
cement; four parts good, clean, sharp
sand. Turn four or five times before
watering. Make it quite wet, as it will
pack in the sides better. Be sure that
the sides are well packed, or you will
have cracks, holes, etc., in it. The sides
of my benches show the grain and knots
in the timber. Several people thought
they were wood, they show so plainly.

I was in the cement business and had
considerable experience before going
into the greenhouses. I do not use any
lumber when cement will answer. In
my boiler room I put down a lot of old
brickbats and slushed them over with
very wet cement, mixed one to five, and
have a good cement floor. My steps are
made of old rocks, bats or anything I

can get, and slushed over with cement.
Trowel it oflF and it looks like solid
cement and is just as good, if not better.
My partition walls are made in the same
way, with old bats, and are only four
inches thick. In these one part eement
and six parts sand are sufficient. Use
good Portland cement in all.

W. A. Lankford.

GLADIOLL

Will someone please tell me how to
treat gladioli for winter blooming, how
and when to plant them and how soon I
can get them to bloom f S. N. M.

The early flowering sections of glad-
ioli, such as G. Colvillei and G. nanus,
can be placed in flats in late September
or early October. Keep cold in a pit or
frame until January. Then give a night
temperature of 48 to 52 degrees. None
of the gladioli like hard forcing. Flow-
ers should be had on the G. Colvillei va-
rieties late in March. They can be had
even earlier, but we would prefer not to
endeavor to rush them too much. By
starting a few flats at intervals of ten to
fourteen days, a long succession of flow-
ers may be had.

G. Gandavensis varieties and others of
the large-flowered, outdoor type cannot
be planted before November. They do
well planted in benches in four or five
inches of soil. They are often dropped
in among carnations, snapdragons and
other crops. The night temperature
should not exceed that given to carna-
tions. Flowering will commence in March
and a succession may be had until out-
door ones come in season. C. Wj

PROPAGATING GERANIUMS.

One Cause of Failure.

There must have been something rad-
ically wrong in the treatment given
geranium cuttings if forty or fifty per
cent failed to survive the rooting process,
no matter by which method the work
was attempted, if the cuttings were of
normal condition when inserted. After
twenty-five years' experience in rooting
large numbers of geranium cuttings by
means of various methods of treatment,
I have found the only instances of fail-
ure to be due altogether to crowding
after growth commenced. This can
easily be avoided if it is possible and
practicable to pot the plants whenever
they are sufficiently rooted, but it hap-
pens with many growers not to be con-
venient to pot them in time to avoid
this.

There are at least three methods more
or less generally practiced in the propa-
gation of geraniums, and it may be said
that each one of the three has something
to commend it, by reason of its being
best suited to the circumstances and con-
ditions under which the work has to be
carried on. The grower who roots ge-
raniums in quantity seldom confines him-
self to one method.

Roctins: in Shallow Flats.

Although the method of placing the
cuttings in moderately shallow flats is
not the most expeditious by any means,
yet I have found that I could obtain
fully as good results from this metliod of
rooting as I could from that of placing
the cuttings in sand in a bench in a
greenhouse. For the last five or six
years I have abandoned the practice of
using sand exclusively for the filling of
the flats, and instead I put about three-
quarters of an inch of loam or leaf-mold
screenings in the bottom of each box
and then fill up to within an inch of the
top with soil composed mainly of leaf-
mold, with just a little sand thrown in.
This soil should be made firm and then
at least half an inch of clean sand should
be put on for a top covering, before
the cuttings are inserted.

The reason why I have decided that
soil is better, in the proportion stated,
than sand, is that while the cuttings root
as quickly and as well in the soil as in
the sand, they also make more roots,
which work into the soil. And the soil
not only sustains the plants, but adheres
to their roots while being removed for
potting, to such an extent that the plants
receive no check whatever as a result of
the operation.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

October 1, 1908.

Selecting the Cuttings.

Success in the rooting of geraniums
depends considerably on the condition of
the plants from which the cuttings are
taken. If the plants are soft and the
growth long- jointed or weak, there is but
little hope of success in their propaga-
tion, and for that reason cuttings, when
possible, should be taken from plants
grown in full sunlight, indoors or out,
with a preference for short- jointed wood.

After the cuttings are dibbled into a
flat the soil should receive a good water-
ing. If the work is done in September,
in most sections of the country the flats
should be placed outdoors, and if there
is need of protection from high winds,
such protection can easily be given by
the erection of an enclosure composed of
one or two 12-inch boards. Or, still
better, they may be placed in open
frames, where further protection can the
more easily be given to them if a neces-
sity arises for such before it becomes
advisable to rtemove them to more per-
manent quarters.

Another point in favor of the flat
method of rooting geraniums is, that in
case of space not being available for
their continuous occupancy, they are
easily moved from one place to another.

Rooting in a Greenhouse Bench.

There is no doubt but that the quickest
method of propagating geraniums is that
of placing the cuttings, just as Mr.
Muchow says, in clean sand in a green-

ROOTING GERANIUM CUTTINGS.

I was interested in the several letters
in recent issues of the Review, on rooting
geranium cuttings. As practically every
florist and gardener handles more or less
of these plants, the best method of propa-
gation is certainly an important ques-
tion.

I have always found that the cuttings
from plants grown under glass, being
less sappy, rooted with a smaller per-
centage of loss than those taken from
outdoor plants. A great many growers,
even in our northern states, err in propa-
gating too early. Frost sufficiently se-
vere to kill geraniums will sometimes oc-
cur in Massachusetts by the third week in
September, This accounts somewhat for
the desire to get the cuttings in early
in that month, but if sure frost would
hold off until October 1, I am positive
there would be a far smaller ratio of
loss from cuttings taken then than a
month earlier.

It is a good plan to lay the cuttings
in the sun for a few hours after making
them, in order to draw some of the
sap out of them. If placed in well
drained pans or flats of sharp sand and
stood on a shelf in full sunshine, there
should be no trouble in rooting eighty
to eighty-five per cent of the cuttings.
I believe in a soaking watering and then
tolerable dryness at the root the rest of
the winter until the time comes to pot
them along. When taken from flats of

Nephrolepis Elegantissima Compacta.

house bench, where there is plenty of
light and the bench is near the glass.
And if it is possible to pot up the plants
whenever they are fairly well rooted,
good plants, without many fatalities, will
result. If, on the contrary, the plants
are allowed to remain in the sand very
long after they are rooted, the results
are invariably many fatalities from
damping and crowding.

The most expensive, but withal the
method by which the most perfect plants
can be obtained, is that of placing each
cutting in a small pot filled with sandy
soil, with a top covering of clean, sharp
sand. D. M.

sand, the cuttings will be found to have
made a perfect network of fibrous roots,
and when potted off in a warm, genial
temperature, these soon make fine plants.
I disapprove of standing the cuttings
outdoors, not because of any fear of
injury from sun or wind, but from
dampness, especially in the form of
drenching rains. A dry house is the ideal
location for these cuttings, and they only
require sufficient moisture at the root
to prevent them from shriveling. Even
in the case of M. M. L., I should say
that he could get better results by plac-
ing his cuttings under glass towards the
end of October, rather than out of doors.

Geranium cuttings need no shade at
any time. In winter and spring I have
found they root better in sandy loam,
in small pots, rather than in pure sand,
and some bottom heat being at command,
not over five per cent should fail, while
the loss on the more succulent outdoor
cuttings will be somewhat greater. If
growers would only propagate later, dry
their cuttings before inserting them, and
keep under glass all the time, there would
be less failures to record.

W. N. Ceaig.

ROOTING GERANIUMS.

I should like to give my way of root-
ing geraniums, though it may not be
much different from that of most others.

I put all my cuttings in together,
whether grown inside or out, in three
inches of sand. I water them well and
give them no shade. Later, if the sand
gets too dry, I give them a good soaking,
which is usually enough till they come
out, when I get fully ninety-five per
cent. «

Of course, they will not all be rooted
at the same time, owing to a difference
in the condition of the wood, some cut-
tings being softer than others, but they
all get potted and the unrooted ones will
finish in the pots. I do not have much
success if I put them in pots first, but
lose many, mostly through too much
moisture, I think.

I use the same sand over and over
again. By being careful to keep all de-
caying matter, such as dead leaves, etc.,
off the bench, I have no trouble. I have
used the same sand for three years and
saw no difference in results when it was
changed. After the season is over, I
chop the sand over several times and dry
it out well, and, while it may not be
steam heated after the new fashion, it
gives satisfaction. J. T. T.

ELEGANTISSIMA COMPACTA.

It is certainly a barren year when the
F. B. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., does
not have a new fern to offer. Since the
advent of Piersoni they have been busy
raising new variations of the ever-popu-
lar nephrolepis. This year it is Superb-
issima which is being distributed, and
it is curious to note that this sort re-
ceived a more favorable reception in
England when exhibited there as a nov-
elty than it did in this country, although
it must not be inferred that it is not well
thought of here. The Royal Horticul-
tural Society of England gave it its
first-class certificate.

For next year the Pierson Co. has
another novelty in the Nephrolepis Ele-
gantissima compacta. The name tells the
whole story, except that Mr. Pierson be-
lieves that, considering commercial pos-
sibilities, this fern is the best one yet
raised on their place. It stands in the
same relation to Elegantissima that Scot-
tii stands to Boston. The plant throws
a great many more crowns than Ele-
gantissima and forms an exceptionally
bushy, round, compact and symmetrical
plant. They have devoted more than
two years to working up stock and have
plants in all the way from 2*4 -inch to
10-inch pots, all of which retain the habit
as shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion.

Utica, N. Y. — In fulfillment of his
promise to the children of the Mande-
ville Street School, F. J. Baker recently

pupils who grew the best nasturtiums.

EXHIBITION CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

At the present time there is such a
difference between the stock produced by
some of the most prominent eastern
growers for exhibition and the average
stock as grown for market, that the
accompanying picture may be interesting
to many of the readers of these notes.
The illustration shows a house of chrys-
anthemums grown by Thomas Proctor,
superintendent for E. W. Patterson, of
Lenox, Mass. From this house, barring
accidents, will come, as usual, many first
prize exhibits.

The plants are propagated in January
and February and grown right along in
pots all the time, many of them being
at present eight feet high and growing
in 8-inch pots. It will be noticed that
the foliage is still perfect, in many cases
reaching to the pots. The plants, being
grown continuously in pots, are abso-
lutely under the control of the grower,
and feeding can be done much more
heavily in such case, with safety.

As compared with the average stock,
which is propagated in April or May
and planted in June, the advantage is
all with the earlier rooted stock, provid-
ing it is grown without any check, as the
longer season of growth means better
ripened wood and larger, heavier flowers.

I know that many growers cannot af-
ford the time or the house to grow ex-
hibition flowers by this method, and that
is one reason why many fine varieties
are turned down by the commercial
grower. If a variety will not succeed
under the hurry-up, plant-in-July-and-cut-
in-October method, it is forthwith con-
demned and the disseminator more or less
profanely sent to perdition. The passing
years will likely witness still greater dif-
ferences between the stock grown for
exhibition and the stock as grown for
market. C. H. Totty,

EAHLY VARIETIES.

Commercial Sorts.

Regular shipments of Monrovia and
Golden Glow are now being sent to mar-
ket and, while the price is not so good
as last year at this date, still it is not
so bad as it might be.

Golden Glow is a neater, better flower
than Monrovia and is satisfactory as an
early yeilow. I think that it will largely
take the place of Monrovia another year,
because, while the foliage is smaller, it
permits of closer planting and will turn
in more money per square foot on that
account.

Golden Glow seems to have made good
all over the country. Many growers got
it in during August and early Septem-
ber, but our market (New York) does
not seom to need anv quantity till the

last week in September, as there is little
need for mums while the flood of asters
is at its height.

Montmort is also coming in, but it is
by no means ideal in color and an early
pink that would travel with Golden Glow
would be appreciated.

Polly Rose, Pacific and Roserie will
be ready in a week, but, while they fill
in a break, they could easily be improved
on.

October Frost is just about ready and
is the earliest in white that shapes up
right. It is much longer- jointed with
me than Polly Rose and consequently
makes a nice stem. Polly Rose, with
most of us, does not make nearly stem
enough to show the flower up properly.

For Exhibition.

Exhibition varieties are coming along
rapidly, most of the kinds already show-
ing color. If buds are any indication of

the coming events, we are in for a rec-
ord year, for never did I see such an
even lot of buds as is showing at the
present time.

Last year's novelties are good, Mrs.
Norman Davis and Mary Mason being
the most promising so far, with Mrs.
J. P. Neil, Grace Whitney and Mrs. J.
Sinnott close behind. ^Mary Donellan
and W. M. Moir are showing more neck
than they did last year, but it is early
yet to make predictions.

The novelties coming along of the
Wells-Pockett strain show the same heavy
foliage and stem and dwarf habit that
has characterized these kinds for years
past.

No less than forty new Australian
seedlings that I have on trial have mag-
nificent foliage and buds and are less
than three feet in height. Of the named
kinds, C. H. Totty, Mrs. C. H. Totty,

A GOOD PLACE FOR PHLOX.

A garden wall, behind which soil is
banked up to within a few inches of the
coping, -is covered with Crimson Rambler
and several varieties of pink rambler
roses. These roses, while they were in
bloom, made a glorious picture. But

from the time the blooms faded, the wall
and its immediate vicinity would have
looked dull enough, were it not that some-
one had .the forethought to plant behind
the wall, and close up to the roses, hardy
phlox in colors of red and pink, which
have bloomed continuously and profusely
from the advent of the roses until the
present time.

The effect produced, with what at a
distance seems like trusses of flowers
borne on the young growth of the roses,
is pleasing and effective. M.

Her choice fell on a remarkably green

—Stray Stories. ';

THE CAPTAIN'S ARCH.

At Lowell, Mass., the captain of po-
lice died not long ago and his popularity
in the department made a call for a
funeral design which gave to Whittet &
Co. their opportunity to do something
out of the ordinary. The result is shown
in the accompanying illustration. The
design was an arch four feet high on a
base five fee\ long. Beneath the arch
rested a closed book twenty-four inches
square. At the top of the arch, on a
bed of white asters and surrounded by
light-colored gladioli, were the words
"Our Captain." The top of the book
was made solid with white asters, while
the edges were outlined in bright pink
asters. On the book was the inscription,
"1880— rPolice Department— 1908. " All
the lettering was with the purple Koral
script.

The arch was made of white and lav-
ender asters, with Japanese lilies, Maid
and Bride roses and candytuft. The base
was of white asters and light colored
gladioli with Bride roses. Adiantum
was used throughout the design. At the

top of the arch rested a white dove with
upraised wings. There also was a dove
on each side of the arch near the base,
and running from the upper one to those
on the sides were numerous strands and
bows of narrow white and lavender baby
ribbon.

Whittet- & Co. received many compli-
ments on the way they executed this
order. The piece stood in the office of
the police department during the day
and at the funeral was the most con-
spicuous of a large floral display.

SPRAY OF ORCHIDS.

Purple, and white are the conventional
colors fdr gifts for the departed. The
spray oi orchids illustrated shows a com-
bination of these two colors, in cattleyas,
with the pure white of the gardenias

below the broad bow of white satin rib-
bon. C. H. Fox, Columbia avenue and
Twenty-first street, Philadelphia, whose
work this is, favors this spray because
of its richness and effectiveness.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WINDOWS.

Contrasting Material for Backgrounds.

Many times a goodly quantity of
flowers or plants is undeveloped as an
attractive display on account of lack of
good contrasting material for back-
ground; for instance, a group of fancy
varieties of ferns is set in a window on
a background of green sheet moss. There
is certainly nothing inharmonious about
the green of the moss and the green of
the ferns; in fact, ^it is a soft color set-
ting, but it does not develop the fine
coloring in the ferns as a contrasting
color might. They should be thrown out
in strong relief to be well exhibited. But
since potted plants are considered rather
destructive of fine background material,
what kind of a ground would be prac-
tical and still serve the purpose artisti-
cally? Well, perhaps insufficient care
has been used in protecting the pots
against leakage. Saucers are not water-
proof, for, being porous, damp spots will
be found under them, even if they do not
overflow. Jardinieres or tin-lined bas-
kets of a quiet color should always be
used, for fine display work, anyhow. If
these are kept perfectly clean inside and
out they could be used on the finest kind
of background without fear of injuring
it. Carelessness in allowing mold and old
foliage to accumulate in plant recep-
tacles is responsible for more damage
than anything else in this line. Ferns
and palms should not be allowed to stand
in water which has accumulated as waste
after watering.

But to the background question again:

The Weekly Florists' Review*

The green fern exhibit needs some kind
of a brilliant color to bring out the color-
ing and form of the plants. Any one
of the clear scarlet pinks, light lavenders,
or yellows, or even a rich red, would be
especially good, and it would be diffi-
cult to find a background material in
the colors outside of fabrics. Cheese-
cloth with a veil of chiffon, as suggested
in a former chapter, is inexpensive and
appropriate. In laying the background,
put on several layers of newspaper or
coarse, heavy paper and make it thick
enough so that the plants;, will sink when
set upon it. In laying the fabric back-
ground avoid the jewelers' and depart-
ment store style of choppy puffs. Make
a large wave or lay on plain. If the
fabric background is not practical, use
the moss and scatter a few full-blown
and otherwise useless pink or red roses
on the moss and you will be surprised
how the little touches of color will de-
velop the green of the foliage.

Avoid Discordant Colors.

Just what background colors, shades
and tints to use harmoniously with both
the predominating color and also the
subordinate colors of tlie special design
plan is sometimes puzzling. In a window
there must be not only a desire to avoid
discord in the coloring, but to make every
scrap of color contribute its full share
to the setting of the design. To accom-
plish this, a little review of the prin-
ciples laid down previously will help.
First, in getting up a color scheme, do
not use two equally strong colors to-
gether; for example, brilliant red and a
lively orange. You may have American
Beauty phlox on hand and you may have
African marigolds. Either one of these
colors is an excellent basis or starter for
a color plan, but it must rule supreme
during its time. Any color used in con-
junction with it must not only be infe-
rior in quantity but also in color
strength; that is, weaker, not brilliant,
like the principal color. Very dark shades
or very light tints n^ust be used, except
where a graded shading is intended.

I will pause a minute to remark on
this latter exception. "When so doing,
procure the next lighter and then the
next lighter, and so on down to white,
and beginning from the center up — that
is, the origrinal color — grade up to the
next darker, as far as the variety will
admit. In this kind of an arrangement
the colors should be placed to show the
gradation, and not mixed indiscrimin-
ately.

Choice is Ofiered.

Returning to the first selection of a
color scheme, that of employing one pre-
dominant color, for instance, the mari-
gold, here are a number of color tints
which might be used in combination:
white phlox, white hydrangea, forgetme-
nots, white roses, white carnations, Ught
lemon-colored marigolds, lavender, white,
cream, or light salmon pink sweet peas,
auratum lilies, double white centaurea,
alyssum, white candytuft and others of
these colors and tints on a background
of green.^ With the American Beauty
phlox plan you can use American Beauty
roses, dark rich crimson phlox, speciosum
lilies of any variety, lighter tints of the
crimson pinks in the phlox, avoiding the
salmon pinks, any of which should be
employed in much smaller quantities than
the basic color.

Use the flowers of which you have the
largest quantity for the piincipal fea-
ture, and you can work in a number of

Spray of Orchids.

scraps of other things as helpers to com-
plete the plan. This not only shows off
the principal color and flower, but also
helps to sell off the left-overs. "Withal,
it is excellent practice in coloring, and
if well arranged will proclaim that the
decorator is an authority on color, a
good reputation to bear among the
cultured people who form our principal
patronage.

In using the American Beauty color
plan, a background of green, not too
light, would probably be the most wide-
ly practical. "With violets try a warm
yellow with a suspicion of red. Amer-
ican Beauties and violets are frequently
combined, but not by those with the
most discriminating taste. Occasionally
a crimson pink is to be found which har-

monizes with the American Beauty at its
best and darkest red.

FALL PLANTING.

Pretty nearly every florist who does
outdoor work has all he can do in the
brief spring season, but in autumn is
able to take good care of many more
orders than he receives. This is largely
due to a lack of knowledge on the part
of the public, for no great proportion
of the people appreciate that a great
deal of planting is better done in fall
than in spring. There also is to be over-
come the general disposition to put off
until tomorrow those things which do
not require to be done today. Ordering
plants is one of the things that can wait.

Every man who plants owes it to the

profession to do his part toward spread-
ing the news that fall is the best time
to plant hardy stock.

Because the rush of spring work usu-
ally taxes every resource, the opportunity
is not great to increase the business with
profit — in autumn it pays to push; thpre's
profit in every extra dollar. It pays to
advertise for orders for autumn plant-
ing. Pretty nearly every florist nowa-
days handles hardy stock.

The George Wittbold Co., Chicago,
does an enormous business in planting,
but goes out for more in fall. The ac-
companying illustration shows a folder
recently mailed to all former customers
and to a large list of prospective patrons.
The printing was in two colors, to re-
produce autumn tints, and the circular
could not help but fix the reader's mind
on the subject of "Planting Now — for
Spring." In order to save cost of en-
velopes, the circular was folded in such
a way that the opposite edges tucked to-
gether and the address and stamp were
placed directly on the back of the cir-
cular, where the smaller illustration was
printed. The circular was designed and
printed by C. E. Richardson, 203 Mar-
quette building, Chicago, who makes a
S(pecialty of this class of work.

PHLOX AND OTHER PERENNIALS.

Will you be kind enough to give me
some information on the propagation of
hardy phlox, pinks, Shasta daisies and
hardy mums, here in Colorado? I should
like to grow some in coldframes, so as
to have 3-inch pot plants by the early

part of April. When ought the stock to
be potted from which the cuttings are
to be taken?

Can Shastas be started early in cold-
frames, so as to have blooms for Decora-
tion day? If so, when should they be
potted? W. G. S.

The influences of Colorado weather on
vegetation in general are so adversely
different from that of the more genial
conditions of the eastern states, that in
the consideration of artificial propaga-
tion of phlox, and other perennials of a
kindred nature, it becomes imperative
that we adopt a more judicious proce-
dure in regard to shade, moisture, venti-
lation and other environments necessary
to successful results.

The paniculata family of phlox are
easily multiplied by divisions of stools,
cuttings from outdoor growth, or, better,
by bringing the clumps into the cold
greenhouse and taking the young growth
from them. Layering the summer growth
of scarce or desirable kinds is occasion-
ally resorted to, and in some instances
root cuttings are taken from varieties
that are strong in root action.

Perhaps the most prolific way of in-
creasing stock and raising new varieties
is by sowing the seed every year, but the
best and most practical method, in my
estimation, is the division of clumps.
In this procedure every eye or stem
means a new plant, and from this char-
acter of growth or stock quicker results
are attained. After the flowering wood
is somewhat ripened, in the late fall, is a

good time to dig up the clumps and
begin the operation of cutting or tearing
apart. The young division can be either
planted in shallow flats for a few months
and then potted up into 2i4-inch or 3-
inch pots, or they can be at once put
into small pots, according to size or
strength of roots, and grown along in the
cool greenhouse until early spring, when
they can be hardened off in coldframes.

and effectual way of increasing stock,
providing the facilities are anywhere
nearly correct for doing so. A cool and
partially shaded location, where the air
will not directly strike the cuttings be-
fore they are rooted, will be suitable
for the operation, and a temperature of
50 degrees in the sand will bring better
results, although it may take a longer
time to do so, than if forced in a higher
temperature.

To obtain good wood for this line of
propagation, the old dumps should be
divided into smaller particles and plant-
ed in flats or on the greenhouse bench,
and carried in a healthy growing tem-
perature of from 45 to 55 degrees. As
the new growth advances into a par-
tially firm wood, the cuttings can be
taken off and put into the sand. Make
the cutting well down near the base,
where the growth is most firm but not
too hard, and a quick callus will follow.
As the cuttings form roots, pot up into
small pots and shift into larger ones as
it becomes necessary, and by springtime
a summer blooming plant will be devel-
oped. It is necessary to keep the young
plant from exposure to frost until it
has developed considerable root action,
or partially filled the pot with roots.

The propagation of Chrysanthemum
maximum and all its species is somewhat
similar to that of the phlox. Suffice it
to remark, that while all stooling peren-
nials similar in nature to those herein
referred to can be readily propagated as
described, they must not be hurried
along in a temperature suitable to soft-
wooded bedding plants.

Chrysanthemum Indicum, C. Sinense
and others of the primitive type are
partially hardy in Colorado, but only so
under the most favorable conditions of
aspect and protection. The improved
Japanese types do not succeed to any
degree outdoors. All varieties are best
propagated from the suckers or young
growths that spring up from the ground.
Late winter to spring is the best time
to take the cuttings.

To bloom the Shasta daisy in the
spring in coldframes, it is necessary to
get the plants well established in their
permanent quarters quite early in the
fall and to give them vigilant care dur-
ing the unseasonable and trying period
of our winter months in Colorado.

OUTDOORS IN COLORADO.

There is always much howling during
what we, in the mountains, speaking of
the game laws, call our "closed season"
for carnations, when they are not to be
had. I have seen the suggestion that
outdoor carnations be brought into bloom
to fill this vacuum. Can you tell me how
this is done? How are plants propa-
gated to get them to bloom outdoors at
this time of the year? Your paper is
invaluable. M. E.

Outdoor carnation culture for summer
bloom has never proven profitable in
Colorado. In this dry and absorbent at-
mosphere half the growing season is oc-
eapied in the efforts of the plant to get
a foothold in the soil; consequently the
season, which is climatically short in
growing period, is almost past before
wood of a productive character is devel-
oped, and at this stage of the plant most
of the commercial growers who still prac-
tice this system, begin transferring into
the greenhouses. Most of this work is
done by the first part of September, as
after that date frost is uncertain and,
.although the best wood is made after
that date, none of it is considered equal
for producing good flowers to the wood
made in the greenhouse.

As this experience is based on prac-
tical work and observation — at an alti-
tude of 5,000 to 7,000 feet during the
last quarter of a century, it would seem
totally impractical to attempt the cul-
ture of carnations out of doors in the
more mountainous regions, where the sea-
sons of growth are naturally shorter.

To overcome or partially relieve this
shortage in the summer months I would
strongly recommend the planting up of
the carnation houses as early as possible
in spring, with plants propagated in the
fall and grown on in pots or on benches.
Under the influences of liberal -ventila-
tion and a natural temperature the plants
may be induced to produce a partial
crop in summer, which, if they^ do not, ^
will not in any manner affect their au-
tumn and winter usefulness, if treated
as recommended herein. John Berry.

LEAF SPOT.

I enclose herewith some carnation
leaves. Please state, if you can," what is
wrong with them. First, small, black
spots appear, not larger than pin heads;
the leaves dry up^ I have had

then

all picked off by hand and have dpstroyed
the plants. They have been benched
about three weekk T. J. W.

The leaves vqw forwarded are affected

with the common leaf spot. This is a
fungous disease and, if taken in hand
early, will not prove very serious, but if
left to go unchecked it will do immense
harm under conditions which are favor-
able to its development. The chief of
these conditions is a close, humid atmo-
sphere. That is why this disease usually
makes its appearance soon after the
plants are housed and while the plants
are constantly kept moist overhead and
the atmosphere kept heavily charged with
moisture, to prevent wilting. You will
also find this disease more frequently in
cases where heavy shading is practiced.
So you can readily see what the nature of
the remedy must be — just the opposite
of the conditions you maintained while
the plants were reestablishing themselves.
You did right in picking off all the
affected leaves; continue doing it. Dust
the plants with slaked lime and sulphur
in equal portions. Do not spr^y over-
head any more than is absolutely nec-
essary until the trouble disappears. If
any shade remains on your glass, remove
it entirely. When you fire, paint one of
the steam pipes with sulphur and lime,
made into a thin paste by adding water.
Grape dust is a splendid article to dust
the plants with, to keep down all such
diseases. Bordeaux mixture is splendid,
too. A. F. J. B.

PFEIFFER*S CARNATION PATCH.

Charles Pfeiffer is a successful carna-
tion groM^r at Fort Thomas, Ky., where
there is a colony of prosperous florists.
The accompanying illustration shows one

corner of his field of carnation plants
and gives a good idea of his surround-
ings. He had 28,000 carnation plants in
this patch before he be|[an benching his
own stock.

SWEET PEAS.

I would like to know something about
sweet peas. In the issue of September
17, under Seasonable Suggestions, you
say sweet peas should be planted two
or three inches apart. Does this mean
both ways, and what is .the best support
for sweet peas? C. P.

Sweet peas under glass should be
grown two to three inches apart in the
rows. The rows should contain only a
single line of plants. If the plants can
be sown in line with the supports of the
house, soft brown or white twine can be
stretched between these and makes the
best possible support for the plants. A
stout wire can be run near the ground
and another one at any desired height.
To run upright strings to this is de-
cidedly preferable to wire netting or
brush of any kind. It will be necessary
to go over the plants every few days
with soft twine and draw them towards
the supports. If you cannot run your
plants in line with house supports, you
can erect some temporary ones at inter-
vals to answer the same purpose.

Woodman are building another green-
house.

time to do so, than if forced in a higher
temperature.

To obtain good wood for this line of
l)ro])agation, the oM chinips should be
divided into smaller j)articles and plant-
ed in Hats or on tlif greenhouse bench,
and carried in a healthy growing tem-
perature of from 4.") to 55 degrees. As
the new growth advances into a par-
tially lirm wood, the cuttings can be
taken off and j)ut into the sand. Make
the cutting W(dl down near the base,
where the growth is most firm but not
too hard, and a quick callus will follow.
As the cuttings form roots, pot up into
small pots and shift into larger ones as
it becomes necessary, and by springtime
a summer blooming plant will be devel-
oped, it is necessary to keep the young
jdant from exposure to frost until it
li.as developed consi<Ierable root action,
or partially lilleij the pot with roots.

The propagation of Chrysanthemum
maximum and all irs speci(>s is somewhat
siinilai' to that of the phlox. Suflice it
to remark, th.it whih- all stooling [)eren-
nials similar in nature to those herein
referred to can be readily propagated as
described, they must not be hurried
along in a temperature suitable to soft-
wooded be(ldirig plants.

OUTDOORS IN COLORADO.

There is always iiiii(,'li howling during
what we, in the mountains, speaking of
the game laws, call our "closed season"
for carnations, ■when they are not to be
had. J have seen the suggestion that
outdoor carnations be brought into bloom
to till this vacuum. Can you tell me how
this is done? IIow are plants propa-
gated to get them to bloom outdoors at
this time of the year^ Your j)aper is
invaluable. M. E.

Outdoor carnation culture for summer
bloom has never proven profitable in
Colorado. In tlus dry and absorbent at-
mosphere half the growing season is oc-
cupied in the efforts of the jdant to get
a foothold in the soil; consecpiently the
season, whiidi is climatically short in
growing perioil, is almost i>nst before
^•.ood of a productive charaf'tcr is devel-
(•p 'd. and at this stage of the plant most
ui the commercial growers wiio still prac-
tice this system, begin transferring into
the greenhouses. Most of this work is
d'ino by the lirst ]>art of September, as
afliT that date frost is uncertain and.
altlu)uy;l> the best wood is made after
that date, none of it is considered eipial
-or iiroducing good flowers to the wootl
nuide in the greenhouse.

As this experience is based on prac-
tical work ami observation — at an alti-
tude of r>,UOO to 7,000 feet during the
hul i|u.irter of a century, it woidd seem
tiitally impractical to attempt the cul-
tuii' of carnations out of doors in the
mure mounti'.inons regions, where the sea
sons of growth are naturally shorter.

To overcojne or ])artially rclvNe tliis
shortage in the summer months 1 would
strongly recommend the jilnnting up of
the carnation lumses as (>arly as possible

with the common leaf spot. This is a
fungous disease and, if taken in hand
early, will not ])rov(i very serious, but if
left to go unchecked it will do immense
harm under conditions which are favor-
able; to its develo]>ment. The chief of
these conditions is a close, humid atmo-

makes its appearance soon after the
plants are housed and while the plants
are constantly kept moist overhead and

moisture, to jirevent wilting. You will
also find this disease more frequently in
cases where hea\y shading is practiced.

SWEET PEAS.

I would like to know something about
sweet ])eas. In tiie issue of September
17, under Seasonable Suggestions, you
say sweet |ieas shouhl be planteil two
or three inches apart. Dues this mean
both ways, and what is the best support
for sweet peas .* C. P.

Sweet peas umler glass should be
grown two to three inches apart in the
rows. The rows should contain only a
single line of plants. If the plants can
be sown in line with the sujiports of the
house, soft brown or white twine can be
stretclu'd between these and makes the
best possible supftort for the plants. A
stout \vire can be run near the groiiml
and another one at any desired li<ij;lit.
To run upright strings to this is de-
cidedly jircdt rable ti> wire netting or
brush (if any kind. It will be necessary
to go o\er the plants every few days
with soft twine ;ind draw them towards
the supports. If you cannot run ymir
plants in line with house suppoits, you
can erect some temporary ones at inter-
\als to answer the same jiur[)ose.

USEFUL SUMMER CATTLEYAS.

Gtttleya Gigas.

Among summer cattleyas the largest
and most showy variety is C. gigas, which
is a native of New Granada, The usual
flowering period is from May to July,
although there is also an autumn flower-
ing form, which is useful in October and
November. C. gigas requires the warm
end of the cattleya house and, to insure
its blooming freely, the pots or pans in
which the plants are growing should be
hung well up to the light. Excellent
bulbs will be made, even if the recep-
tacles are a considerable distance from
the glass, but these will never flower sat-
isfactorily. The best specimens we have
seen are kept close to the ridge of the
house and grown in large baskets.

For a potting medium Osmunda fiber
cannot be excelled. After blooming, the
plants should be overhauled and kept on
the dry side until growths start up again.
At this time they should also have the
coolest end of the house.

As many as ten flowers have been pro-
duced on a single sheath of C. gigas by
William Duckham, of Madison, N. J., a
successful grower of this cattleya. Ed-
gar J. Knight, at Hackensack, N. J.,
baa probably the finest lot of this species
in the country. He has grown nine flow-
ers to the sheath, and Clement Moore's
collection, of which he has charge, con-
tains some fine types of this cattleya.
While C. gigas has large and showy
flowers, they lack the texture of most
of the other cattleyas and, if not well
shaded when in bloom, are easily sun-
burnt.

The plant represented in our illustra-
tion is flowering in the collection of
L. E. Peck, West Barrington, R. I.,
where George Farquhar has charge. It
was one of a new importation received a
year ago from Carrillo & Baldwin and
carries twenty-seven flowers. Mr. Far-
quhar has flowered over 100 other C.
gigas, the flowers averaging nine inches
across. In one house he grows 1,600
cattleyas and Iselias. He also has oatches
of cypripediums, dendrobiums, coelogynes
and other orchids, which are in fine con-
dition and reflect great credit on the
grower. Mr. Peck is an enthusiastic or-
chid lover.

Gtttleya Gaskelliana.

The usual blooming period of C. Gas-
kelUana is August and September, a
period when cattleya are de<»idedly scarce,
the summer varieties, such as Mossise,
Mendellii, gigas and Warneri, being gone
and it being too early for labiata and
Bow^ngeana. The flowers resemble
those of the well-known C. labiata, but
are paler, as a rule, with somevhat nar-
rower sepals and petals. The variety suc-
ceeds well treated similarly to C, labiata,

of which it is really a form. The plant

CATTLEYA CITRINA«

Cattleya citrina, which blooms during
May and June, is a most distinct cat-
tleya, commonly called the tulip orchid,
from the fact that its three petals which
form the outer envelope of the flowers,
and the two petals which form part of
the second series of three, never open
as fully as they do in the other cattleyas,
and in this way they resemble yellow
tulips. The flowers are lemon-yellow
and the crest of the lip is white. It has
a strong odor of citron, hence the speciflc
name. The whole plant has a pendent
habit and can never be raised any other
way. Its foliage and pseudo-bulbs are
glaucous. It is a native of the high alti-
tudes of Mexico, and it cannot be raised
with a high degree of success unless it
is given the shelter of a cool house.

The price of this interesting orchid is
low, and one or two plants can be raised
in the coldest part of the cattleya house
during the winter, and hung under a
tree in a moist place during the sum-
mer. In this way it may be kept in
health for several years. The fleshy

ENGLISH PRIMROSES.

What is the botanical name of the.
English primrose, and its culture!

♦ E. P. L.

The botanical name of the English
primrose is Primula veris. Seeds should
be sown in January or February in a
greenhouse ; 50 degrees at night is suffi-
ciently warm. Prick off into shallow
boxes, gradually harden and plant out
in nursery rows about the first week in
May. By keeping the ground well culti-
vated, the seedlings will make strong
plants by fall.

If wanted for indoor culture, the prim-
roses should be potted about the middle
of October into 5-inch or 6-inch pots or
pans and stood in a coldframe. After
Christmas bring them into a gentle heat
to send them along for spring flowering.
They do well planted in coldframes and
treated the same as violets. The plants
after flowering can be divided and plant-
ed outdoors as suggested for seedlings.

For successful outdoor culture the
plants require shade from overhanging
trees. They are at their best if natural-
ized on moderately moist ground which

contains a good proportion of leaf-mold.
In full sunshine the flowers will wilt
down badly. Plants set out here seven
to eight years ago are still doing well
and many seedlings spring up among
them annually. If a severe summer
drought ensues, it may be necessary to
water occasionally. Plants naturalized
here have, however, not needed any arti-
ficial watering , this season, and there
have been long dry spells. A light win-
ter mulch of leaves should be given out-
door plants after the ground freezes. A
heavy coating will cause injury.

GOVERNMENT POSITIONS OPEN.

The United States Civil Service Com-
mission announces an examinatioi9 on Oc-
tober 28, 1908, to secure eligibles from
which to -make certification to fill a
vacancy in the position of laboratory aid
(male), qualified in horticulture, in the
Bureau of Plant Industry, at $40 a
month, a vacancy in the position of lab-
oratory aid in seed testing (female), in
that bureau, at a salary of $600 to $720
per annum, and vacancies requiring simi-
lar qualifications as they may occur in
the Department of Agriculture.

The commission says: "The position
of aid in the various branches of the
Bureau of Plant Industry offers many
advantages to young persons who are
desirous of taking up certain lines of
special or scientific work either in the De-
partment of Agriculture, the state ex-
periment stations, or elsewhere. The pre-
liminary training, practical, theoretic
and scientific, to be obtained while serv-
ing as a laboratory aid will be valuable
to any young person who has a taste for
scientific work in agriculture or who
contemplates taking a course at some
agricultural college. "While the pay of
an aid is necessarily low, as in case of
all inexperienced workers, in comparison

with that of persons doing a higher class
of work, yet opportunities will be af-
forded for advancement to more remuner-
ative positions. Any ambitious young
person who has had the advantage of a
high school education or its equivalent
and has a general knowledge of agri-
culture or horticulture will be eligible as
an applicant."

Applicants should at once apply to the
United States Civil Service Commission,
Washington, D. C, for Circular No. 688
and Application Form 304.

FEEDING VIOLETS.

When do you begin to feed violets!
How often do you feed? How long do
you continue f What do you feed themt
How prepared! How do you kill red
spider when you only have a good knap-
sack sprayer! J. W. B.

The proper time to commence is in
the right preparation of the soil, long
before the violets are planted, but if you
think that the soil is now too poor, the
only thing that I should care to do
would be to work in a light dressing of
bone flour between the plants.

As for the red spider, prevention is
worth pounds of cure and it is all a
matter of spraying, with force, the un-
derside of the foliage. Use cold water.

Of course the reader is unfortunate if he
has not city pressure, but will have to do
the next best thing. Care must be used
at this time of year not to get the soil
too wet, although with the weather we
have been having, if it is well drained
there is not much danger. "*

SINGLE VIOLETS.

Answering several queries, I would
say that it is yet too early to house
Princess of Wales and other single vio-
lets. The doubles should all be housed
before this time, as the heavy night dews
seem to promote the spot disease, but
with the singles it is different. From the
beginning to the end of October, accord-
ing to location, is suflSciently early to
house. In Maine, where there are early
frosts, the earlier date would be all right,
while in Maryland or Louisiana a month
later would be much better. The plants
are benefited by some frost before hous-
ing. This seems to check leaf production,
which is always too much of a feature on
stock lifted early. C. W.

CANTERBURY BELLS.

Canterbury bells stand a moderate

when you can start to force them gently
at 45 degrees for a minimum, advancing
to 50 and 52 degrees as growth starts.
Give them plenty of light wid sun at
all times. C. W.

s It Unfair Competition ?

No one was more surprised than I to
see the statement credited to Edward
Reid in the Philadelphia news letter in
the Review of September 17. I should
certainly like Mr. Reid to explain in what
way be considers our competition in the
flower market as unfair. If we have
found a cheaper way of producing bulb
blooms, does not this rather redound to
our credit than otherwise? And as re-
gards protecting those growers who grow
these flowers under glass, in the same
way as American products are protected
by a tariff against imported goods, it
is a well-known fact that some of the
leading men of the day are at variance
on that very point and it is an open
question whether the country at large
really benefits by these tariffs. But this
is going away from the point.

Mr. Reid says that the grower who has
the courage and enterprise to erect glass
houses and heat them, etc., merits the
protection of public sentiment. This
same argument was used years ago, wheu
railroads gradually superseded the stage
coach in the old country, and the same
may be said today. Why let the Mar-
coni system interfere with the present
system of telegraphing, when we all know
what a lot of cash has been expended in
installing^ the present system? There is,
in my opinion, but one answer to these
arguments, and that is the word "For-
ward 1"

Mr. Reid speaks of our flowers as
cheaply grown. Has he any idea what
these flowers cost to produce and place
on the market? I think not. He is evi-
dently basing his opinion on the prices
realized during the rush last season, but
this is no guide to him, for two reasons:
First, it was not till the glut was over
that we were informed of the state of
the market, as, owing to the plans usu-
ally adopted by the wholesale florists, we
generally get our account of sales about
d, week or ten days after the sales have
taken place, and thus, as I explained to
Mr. Reid at the florists' meeting, the
wholesale florists are largely to blame
for the glut. Second, we know that we
are only feeling the market, and to get
a trade together we must be prepared
to sacrifice a little. In no other way
can we get such an advertisement as by
sending our flowers to the market.

I regret that Mr. Reid has gone so
far as to state that he will do his utmost
tJ discourage this work. As well m-jy he
try to stop the tides. We are here and
ouly in our infancy, and I feel certain
that if Mr. Reid is spared to watch the
developments of this work, he will regret
Iiaving made that remark. The time is
not far distant when every family in the
United States will insist upon having
flowers on the dining table and every
lady t)nd gentleman will carry a button-
hole of flowers. For these purposes
flowers must be produced, and produced
in quantities, and they will l.e grown
right here in Virginia. What I thick
has, up to the present time, stopped the

development of flower trade and inci-
dentally caused the glut on the market,
is the great difference between the price
charged to the consumer and the returns
sent to the grower, and nothing but plac-
iiig large quantities of flowers on the
market is going to stop it. J. Guille.

Mr. Reid's View.

In the Review of September 24, under
the head of "Marketing Bulbous Flow-
ers, ' ' D 'Alcorn & Sons take exceptions to
some remarks I made in a previous issue.
In the first placej I would state that
any remarks I made were not with the
intention of detracting from any special
•branch of the trade, but, on the other
hand, to elevate and raise the standard
of the business in general. I suppose it
is safe to presume that everyone engaged
in the florists' business commercially is

in it for profit, and anything which is
going to increase the profits of the busi-
ness would surely be a benefit to those
who are engaged therein. In saying this,
I am leaving sentiment out, as far as en-
couragement to give to the general pub-
lic a lot of cheap flowers at certain sea-
sons of the year, to the detriment of the
man who produces flowers under glass',
who is the backbone of the business and
on whom we have to depend for almost
twelve months of the year for the prod-
uct that goes to make our business.

The gentlemen say that they agree with
Phil that the law of supply and demand
regulates the production. That is very
true in most cases, but, unfortunately, it
does not hold good in this particular one,
for various reasons, some of which I

will state. In the first place, the gentle-
men, if. I am rightly informed, are in
the business mainly to grow bulbs for
sale and are not depending on the cut
flowers for their profits, but, on the other
hand, under said conditions every dollar
deriv6d from such sales of cut flowers
might be set down as profit, as they have
the bulbs to sell anyhow. Again, th^se
bulbs can be grown from year to year
and are multiplying all the time; also,
they have an advantage on account of
the cheapness of land compared to that
of the florists contiguous to large cities.
Then again, climatic conditions are in
their favor, as what can be produced in
open ground in that locality must be
forced under glass here to be brought on
the market at the same time, never speak-
ing of the advantages of the cheap labor
in that section.

Now look at the reverse side, or the
man who grows under glass: He must
first "buy his bulbs, pay high prices for
skilled labor and then comes the heating,
which is not the least ef the expense, and
tell me, ^nder these conditions, if this is
fair competition; or would the gentle-
men care to buy and grow bulbs for the
prices they get for the cut flowers under
their most favored conditions? I most
certainly do classify southern grown daf-
fodils as cheaply produced goods, when
they come in competition under the con-
ditions as I have stated.

As to the wholesaler being responsible
for the glut, I think this is an error. He
knows they are coming and if he don't
have them come, someone else will. The
writers also state that they paid one man
over $100 commission in one week. I
would just state that it was well earned
money. I venture to say that had not
that product been in the market his com-
missions on flowers grown under glass
would be very much greater, and I know
the producer under glass' of various other
varieties of flowers would not have found
his product selling comparatively low, and
often not sold at all. It is he who paid
the penalty — the very man we ought to
protect.

Next, they refer to England. It is
only necessary for me to say that we do
not care to see conditions exist here as
they do in England. The best evidence
of this is that we have plenty of Eng-
lishmen engaged in the business in this
country, and I do not know of one Amer-
ican w^jo has gone over there to follow
the craft. I do not care anything about
the tons that are handled — ^he volume
of money is what counts.

It is stated that in the months of
March and April there were over a quar-
ter of a million bulbous flowers sold to
the ladies in Norfolk, Va. What effect
did that have on those engaged in the
trade in that locality? I for one know
the demoralized conditions that it caused
at that time within a radius of some 200
miles or more of that city. Had this a
tendency to elevate the business or raise
the standard? If these conditions pre-
vail, when, as they say, every city gets
educated, I would say, God keep them
ignorant !

The last paragraph is rather ambig-
uous. The gentlemen say the land is
bought and the greenhouses erected. Do
they mean to convey the impression that
their bulbous flowers are raised under
glass and not in the open field? If such
is the case I retract all I have said, and
as to my suggesting what they should do
with their flowers, that would be pre-
sumption on my part, but would merely
I state that if bulbs are sold to be forced

under glass in the face of this competi-
tion, that part of the business, as far as
greenhouse men are concerned, will soon
be a thing of the past, and the bulb pro-

PRESIDENT LEMAN BRADFORD.

At the regular meeting of the Florists'
Club of Springfield, O., September 14,
the annual election of officers was held
and Leman Bradford was elected presi-
dent. The other officers chosen were:
Vice-president, Frank E. Good; secre-
tary, Geo. D. Leedle (reelected) ; treas-
urer, John A. Doyle.

The retiring president and the secre-
tary, in connection with the entertain-
ment committee, were instructed to pre-
pare a suitable program and banquet for
the installation of officers at the October
meeting.

The president-elect is a son of Ashley
Bradford, one of the wheel horses in the
Bepublican party of some years ago, and
the son has been a faithful worker in the
same ranks, although he has never sought
political honors. For many years Leman
Bradford was well known as the local
agent for the Wells, Fargo & Co. express
and in this line of business he acquired
much detailed knowledge, as to the ship-
ping of floral stock, which has been of
material advantage to him during recent
years as secretary of the Springfield Flo-
ral Co., of which he is tltn active man-
ager. Mr. Bradford has been particularly
successful in devising new and original
methods in cataloguing and offering his
products. An excellent likeness of him is
shown in the photograph reproduced on
this page.

DAHLIA AND GERANIUM SHOW.

The Annual Affair at Vincent's,

Forty Washington florists left on the
11 a. m. train, September 22, for Cowen-
ton, Md. The Baltimore florists joined
them at the Camden station on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, and it was a jolly
crowd that filed into the wagon train to
White Marsh. This place certainly should
be called Vincentville, for it is Mr. Vin-
cent's family and his employees that
make and inhabit the place.

The exhibition proper was held in the
long potting shed. This show was given
in conjunction with the Ladies' Aid So-
ciety of the Ebenezer church, of Chase,
Md. The Aid Society furnished a fine
dinner, with the true a la Maryland
chicken and trimmings. The attendance
September 22 was estimated at 700.
After dinner the show looked fresher
and brighter. All the fine vegetables
and fruit you ever heard about were
there, even prize ducks and pickles.

The center of the building was taken
np with dahlias, and they were there in

Leman Bradford.

all their glory. We saw Souv. de Gustave
Douzon, bright red, measuring seven and
eight inchps, and Mme. Van Den Deal,
extra fine large pink; Aegir, rich, bright
crimson; Ambassador, pure white; An-
telope, yellow, suffused bright salmon;
Eureka, one of the best pinks and a good
seller; Blush Queen, shell pink; Britannia,
deep salmon fiesh; A. D. Livoni, rich sea-
shell pink, and hundreds of others of
every conceivable color.

One side of the building was devoted
to geraniums. Here were to be seen all
the latest varieties. Mr. Vincent expects
to grow 2,000,000 geraniums during the
season of 1909. There were plants of
all the latest novelties, including Mrs.
Annie Vincent, delicate pink with white
center; Gen. Lamarque, between crim-
son and cerise; Lusca, red with white
eye; Gen. Tarbel, heavy growth with
heavy truss of bright red, and a large
collection of Bruant's, Rozain-Bouchar-
lat's, Lemoine's, Cannell's, E. G. Hill's,
and other 1908 novelties.

A trip through the houses was well
worth one's time. One house had 100
different varieties grown for show; one
had 400 varieties grown for trial; in
another were to be seen 1,000 plants
picked up by Mr. Vincent on his recent
trip to Europe, They looked good to
him and he is going to try them out.
Among these is a beautiful variegated
one, the leaves of which are white on
the edge, with a red stripe shading to
delicate green and a dark green center.

After a trip through the houses, the
visitors assembled at Mr. Vincent's resi-
dence, where Mr. Seybold introduced
Rev. R. Hoffman. In a neat address he
told how much has been accomplished by

the aid of the sdciety, and by visitors
at the summer meetings, as this is called
the harvest home festival of the Ebenezer
church.

Mr. Vincent then spoke of the success
of the display last year, and the poor
showing this year on account of the
drought. At one time it looked as if
there would be no show. He said they
"did the very best they could, and it is
hoped by the help of Providence that in
another year they will have the best show
ever."

Mr. Seybold thanked Mr. Vincent in
behalf of the Maryland Horticultural So-
ciety and the Washington and Baltimore
florists. He referred to what Mr, Vin-
cent had accomplished for the benefit of
horticulture throughout the country. He
invited all the exhibitors to be present
at the fall show December 1 and 2, in
Baltimore.

William F. Gude, ex-president of the
S. A. F., was introduced. Among other
things he said: "This is a joint meet-
ing of the horticulturists and florists
from everywhere. Because there are not
1,000 horticulturists present, is no rea-
son why they should not be here. If they
knew what they would see and learn by
coming to White Marsh, they surely
would be here. It only shows how much
a man can accomplish when he wants
to, and the man is not among us who
cannot profit by the lesson we have be-
fore us today, when we come to think
that a few years ago this beautiful place,
with all its ornamental shrubbery, vast
greenhouses, lawns, and the neat homes
of the workmen, was a forest filled with
a rank undergrowth." He thanked Mr.
Vincent for his kind invitation to the

Washington club, and wanted all present
to make a note that Mr. Vincent, with
all his business and vast estate, still finds
time to thank his Creator for the many
blessings bestowed on him, as is evi-
denced by the fact of his giving the pro-
ceeds from the-Juncheon, fancy tables,
etc., to his church, for the betterment of
his fellowmen. Peter Bisset also made
a few remarks on the work accomplished
by Mr. Vincent.

Mr. Patterson, of the State Horticul-
tural College, spoke of the good the col-
lege gets from Mr. Vincent's achieve-
ments and urged the boys present to
stick to the farm and pattern after the
man who had showed them what could
be done; and let their ambitions rise
higher than the average country boy,
who wants to be a motorman or con-
ductor on a trolley line. He also spoke
of Maryland being first in the produc-
tion of strawberries, first in tomatoes,
and fourth in sweet corn and peas.

Among the speakers were also Mr.
Walker, president of the Farmers' League
of Delaware; Mr. Harris, and others.

After this the growers scattered all
through the dahlia fields and could be
seen everywhere with their notebooks,
getting the names of the varieties that
looked good to them. Eureka, in the
field, attracted special attention, as it

had an abundance of long-stemmed, beau-
tiful pink blossoms of good size.

Mr. Smith, of the United States Forest
Bureau, gave a talk on preserving green-
house timber. He showed samples of
pine and other wood, treated with creo-
sote. His best authority on creosote
treatment was Mr. Vincent himself, as
he has used it with success for the last
three years. All the posts under the
benches were dipped at each end and,
after three years' use, are perfectly
sound. All the lumber used in the con-
struction of Mr. Vincent's houses has
been treated in this way. Just recently
the benches in one house were treated
with it, with no bad effects. He also
spoke of other experiments, with differ-
ent chemicals, now being conducted at
the Agricultural Department.

Arriving in Baltimore, we were taken
in charge by a committee of the Balti-
more florists. After a good •old German
dinner, we were taken to the bowling
alleys and we bowled until the wee hours.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

I

I

Lilies.

The early batch of Harrisii are now
two to three inches high and have the
pots well filled with roots. From a
frame they have been removed to a light,
sunny house kept at 55 degrees at night.
It is hoped to have a good proportion
of these in for Christmas, but in the
case of lilies there is ever "many a
slip between the cup and the lip."
A proportion of these will undoubtedly
show disease. A few will be too early
and others too late, but in the winter
months cut lilies are always useful. It
is better not to overwater these lilies.
Have you ever taken notice of a batch
where the plants which were allowed to
become dry looked remarkably clean, and
the moister ones the reverse? All the
trouble with lilies is not with the grow-
ers in Bermuda and Japan, but vrith the
man at home. Careless watering seems
to spread diseases.

Cold storage L. speciosums for Christ-
mas are now a foot high and should be
in season. These are growing in a house
kept at 50 degrees at night, and we pre-
fer not to force them any more than
we can avoid. Be sure that aphis is
not allowed to get a footing in any of
the lily shoots. A fumigation once a week
will keep the plants clean.

Do not leave any longiflorum bulbs
lying around in boxes or benches any
longer than you can avoid. The scales
will soon show a shriveled appearance if
you do not pot them. If unable to pot
at once, cover with sand and place in a
cool shed or cellar.

Variegated Vinca.

There never appears to be much of an
overstock of variegated vinca. While
it does not mind a little frost, it will
not be wise to risk it outdoors any
longer in the northern states. Potted up
into 4-inch and 5-inch pots and stood
along the edges of the benches, they will
make beautiful stock for vases next sea-
son. If your supply is not so large as
you would like, get in a good, generous
batch of soft cuttings. These, rubbed
off with a heel, will root quickly and
make nice, serviceable little plants for
spring. This plant really wants to be
planted out and grown a year to give it
the size necessary for use in vases and
window-boxes.

Lemon-scented Verbenas.

Do not forget a few cuttings of lemon-
scented verbenas. No garden is really
complete without one or two plants of
it. The propagation of Aloysia citri-
odora, as the plant is called botanically,
is less easy than that of many other
bedding plants. We always find it roots
best where it can have a gentle bottom
heat, and short, soft cuttings, taken vHth
a heel, are the best. In a cold house
the cuttings will rot off, but if placed
in sharp sand and well watered once a
day, there will be no trouble in rooting
them in a temperature of 60 degrees.
It is always well to lift a few old plants.
These, if kept cool and somewhat dry
over winter, will yield a fine crop of nice
cuttings in March, which will make nice
little stock for Memorial day.

Verbenas.

Verbenas are so easily raised from
seed that few trouble to keep the old
plants over winter. A better plan than
lifting and heading back the old plants
is to root a few cuttings of any specially
desirable kinds it is desired to keep over.
When rooted, place half a dozen cuttings
in 5-iuch pots. Pinch once or twice dur-
ing the winter and they will make a nice,
stocky lot of cuttings. Verbenas resent
coddling and should be carried over in a
cool but dry house. Too much moisture
will mildew the leaves. They will carry
over in a frame until the middle of No-
vember and could almost be wintered
there if well protected at night. Damp-
ness would be their greatest foe.

Lobelias.

In some localities the dwarf blue lo-
belia does well for bedding. To get a
first-class strain, one that will come com-
pact and not vary in character, cuttings
are far preferable to seeds. The seed-
lings are a variable* quantity and quite
lack the neat, compact habit of those
raised from cuttings. Lift a few old
plants. Pot into 4-inch or 5-inch pots.
Cut back and stand on a shelf where they
can get plenty of sun. On a low bench
an excess of moisture will speedily rot
the whole plants. In late winter the
plants can be cut back again and will
then give a big crop of succulent little
cuttings, which will make the best of
plants for be^^ing-

Dahlias.

Frosts have already blackened the
dahlias in some places and they cannot
be expected to last long in the colder
northern states. The undesirable sorts
should be marked and any labeling done
to prevent confusion another season.
There are now really yfar too many va-
rieties of dahlias. The average com-
mercial florist has little use for more
than a few, and a dozen sorts of popu-
lar colors are preferable to trying single
plants of a hundred or more kinds, many
of which even an expert has trouble in
detecting points of difference in. Do
not cut down the plants as soon as frost
has killed the tops. Let them get well
dried first. Frequently we get spells of
warm weather for a month after the first
frosts, and this induces a second growth
on cut back plants, which is not to' be
desired for the sake of the tubers.

Gardenias.

Plants in benches should not have any
further pinching after this date, unless
they are wanted for spring blooming.
Ply the spray nozzle among them twice
weekly to keep mealy bug within bounds
and fumigate once a week for aphis,
which will speedily disfigure the young,
soft shoots. Be careful not to over-
water the plants. Any sogginess or sour-
ness will assuredly start the yellowing
of the leaves, which is the bane of so
many growers. If the soil is porous,
there is less likelihood of this trouble,
but if the compost used was not fairly
rough, greater care will be necessary to
keep the leaves from assuming a golden
hue. A temperature of 60 to 65 degrees
at night just now is about right.

Enclosed you will find a cheek for the
renewal of my subscription to the Re-
view. I let it run out a few weeks ago
and I have missed the paper very much.
I think it is the best trade paper pub-
lished.—H. C. Holmes, Morristown, N. J.

HARDY ROSES FOR FORCING.

I have a fine lot of roses. Some are
hardy perpetuals, such as Ulrich .Brun-
ner and others of that class, and some
are hybrids, such as Etoile de France,
Helen Gould and others. I would like
to have them in bloom for Decoration
day. Please tell me how to construct a
coldframe, when to put them' in and
what treatment to give them over winter
in New Jersey. Gt. W. R.

You do not state whether the roses are
being grown in the open ground or are
in pots, or boxes. In the latter case
they will not require placing under cover
before the middle or end of November
in your latitude. Give them full sun-
shine and gradually withhold water in
order to check further soft growth and
help to harden and ripen the wood. The
plants should by no means become dust-
dry, for that would cause shriveling and
injury.

If the roses are growing in the open,
they should be potted or placed in boxes
about the end of October. This will
allow them to become somewhat estab-
lished before they are placed under glass
for forcing. Keep them outdoors about
a month after lifting them.

If you have a shed or cold cellar, you
could pack the pots and boxes with
leaves or straw, and it would be an ad-
vantage to have the temperature down
to freezing each night or even below it.
Otherwise you can construct a frame to
hold them, on a sloping piece of ground,
in order to be sure that no water will
lodge there. Use 2-inch planks for the
sides and give a pitch of six to eight
inches for a 6-foot sash. Bank up loam
around the sides of the planks for added
warmth. Dig out the frame to the re-
quired depth after construction. The
hybrid perpetuals should be all right
with merely the sash covering, but the
hybrid teas will be better off with a
scattering of dry leaves among them.
Air the frame during all mild spells in
winter and use board shutters over the
glass to keep snow from breaking it.
If the soil in the pots is allowed to be-
come fairly dry, there will be little prob-
ability of the frost breaking them. It
would be as well, however, to pack be-
tween them with leaves.

If you prefer to wait until late winter
before potting your plants, dig a trench
outdoors and bury the plants, covering
with a good coating of straw after frost
has firmed the ground well. Take out
the plants and pot them about the end

of February. Results will not be so good
in this case as if the plants had been
potted in the fall.

To have the plants in bloom for Memo-
rial day, start them in a temperature of
40 to 45 degrees at night, raising the
night readings to 50 or 55 degrees later.
It takes a good deal of nice judgment
to time these roses exactly. If the month
of May proves hot, it may be necessary
to move them to a cooler house. Ten
to twelve weeks should suffice from the
time the plants are started until they
are well in bloom. The hybrid teas will
come in rather earlier th^tn the hybrid
perpetuals and could be started two
weeks later. C. W.

attended to when the temperature rises
quite high, so as to prevent a draft from
coming in? E. P. L.

This querist omitted to state whether
the house was provided with ventilators
on both sides. The best method would be
to find out by experiment, as it is almost
impossible to answer such queries without
being on the ground to see conditions,
lay of land, etc. Ribbs.

BURNT SPOTS ON FOLIAGE.

Would you kindly advise me as to the
cause of spot on the inclosed Beauty
foliage? This appeared last fall, but to
no great extent, and as it was confined

to a few plants in the middle of the
house, . I concluded that it was scorching
and that it originated from the sun's
rays penetrating through a defective
piece of glass while the plants were still
wet from syringing.

This year it has made its appearance
again and is distributed all over the
house, though not to any alarming ex-
tent. I may add that watering, airing,
syringing, cultivating and tying get first-
class attention, practically the same as is
advised in the Review from time to
time. Except for this trouble, the plants
are in splendid condition. A. M. R.

The spots are caused by imperfections
in the glass. These imperfections are
frequently so small as to be practically
invisible, and to locate them requires pa-
tience and time. During bright sunshine
the bright, burning spots, as shown on
the foliage, can by the shadows be traced
to the defects in the glass. A small
brush, dipped in boiled oil and attached
to a long handle, can then be applied to
the defects.

This scrutiny should be made during
every hour of sunshine, so that all the
spots may be located and obscured.

RiBES.

THRIPS.

I am sending you four American
Beauty buds. We have had some discus-
sion as to what is the trouble with these
buds, and would thank you if you could
tell us what the trouble is and what
would be the best remedy for same?

E.N.S. ^

These buds are infested with thripff.
By pulling one of the buds apart you will
find the little pest at the base of the
petals. They are lively and it requires a
quick eye to detect them.

There are many remedies recommended
from time to time. None of them are
effective unless persisted in. Hydro-
cyanic acid gas, one ounce to each 1,000
cubic feet of space, will destroy (so it is
claimed) ninety-two per cent of the pests.
If this is persisted in for a few weeks
the logical conclusion is that the few
remaining in a few weeks will be past
doing much damage. Fumigating with
tobacco to which has been added some
red pepper, once a week, has kept them
from giving trouble with my roses. This
has been the remedy practiced for years
with good effect. Ribes.

NAME OF PLANTS.

Please give us the name of enclosed
cuttings of geranium, also bloom and
leaf of another plant, which we would
like the name of. C. J. A.

The geranium appears to be Alphonse
Ricard, but specimens were badly wilted.
The other plant is Echeveria secunda
glauca. c.

LATE PLANTED DAHLL\S.

It is significant that those who planted
dahlias late this year are less annoyed
by lack of bloom, on account of blighted
plants, than are those who planted early.

To take my own case, for example, I
had about 100 plants growing splendidly
early in June, which a month later were
a sorry looking spectacle. On the other
hand, the ones I planted as late as the
middle of June grew without hindrance
and are now in full bloom, while those
first planted, and almost wholly blighted,
are only now coming into bloom. B.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

The executive committee for the Na-
tional Flower Show had its meeting in
Chicago September 25 and received re-
ports from all sub-committees and took
important action.

The secretary was instructed to have

2,000 copies of the final premium list
printed and mailed by October 10. Presi-
dent Traendly was requested to offer the
gold medal of the S. A. F. for the most
interesting and educational exhibit in
the show. Chairman Poehlmann, of the
reception committee, reported that elab-
orate plans were being made for the en-
tertainment of visitors to the show.
Chairman Koenig, of the special features
committee, reported that an exhibit was
being planned which would show the
evolution of floral designing in the last
twenty-five years.

Action was taken fixing the general
admission at 75 cents for adults, and
25 cents for children of school age; fix-
ing the price of trade tickets at 35 cents.
The action offering a season ticket for $1
to florists not members of the S. A. F.
was reconsidered and rescinded.

WHY LIMIT YOURSELF?

Are you content with a business among
your neighbors? Do they buy all the
stock you raise, or could raise? Do they
buy steadily, all the year around, or do
you find yourself pushed for cash to meet
your bills except, perhaps, in the spring?
Do your local customers pay cash, or
expect you to wait a year, more or less,
for your money?

Why don't you grow stock that other
florists buy — advertise — and branch out?
Others in small towns have done it — why
not you?

See what this wholesale florist writes
from a retail town:

"Please discontinue my adiantum,
dracffina, cyclamen and primrose adver-
tisements in the Classified Department
of the Review and insert the inclosed
until further notice. Stocks are getting
badly broken. Sales have been first-
class. J. Sylvester.

"Oconto, Wis., Sept. 21, 1908."

Cash comes with the order to the known
advertisers in the Review. Why not
branch out?

OBITUARY.

Samuel Pieser.

Samuel Pieser died quite suddenly
September 24, at his home in Chicago.
He had been in his usual health up to
September 19 and had been about as
usual at an even later date. The physi-
cians said his death was due to abdom-
inal poisoning. The funeral was held
September 25, with interment at Rose-
hill cemetery.

Mr. Pieser was 48 years of age, a
brother of G. H. Pieser, president of the
Kennicott Bros. Co., Chicago, and E. E.
Pieser, treasurer of that company. For
many years Samuel Pieser ran a retail
flower store on North Clark street in Chi-
cago, up to about three years ago. Then
he was with the Kennicott Bros. Co. for
a time, afterward going into the tobacco
business, in which he also was interested
while running the retail flower store.
Recently he has been manager of one of
the stores of the United Cigar Stores Co.
Mr. Pieser leaves a widow and two chil-
dren, Edward E. Pieser and Mrs. A. G.
Perretz.

Gordon Wolf.

Gordon Wolf, proprietor of the Denver
Floral Co., Denver, Colo., died September
11. He was well known in the trade.

CHICAGO.

The Great Cenhral Market.

It is worthy of special remark the dif-
ference the change in the weather has
made in the general atmosphere of the
market. So long as the midsummer heat
continued there was a feeling of lassi-
tude, but this had given way Monday,
September 28, to a spirit of optimism
due to the invigorating temperatures.
Trade had been making steady advances,
and September 25 and 26 were excellent
days, but Monday brought the first real
indications of autumn and the genuine
revival of business.

Even before the unseasonable heat
wave had passed there was an increase
in demand. Local business was light
and largely confined to funeral and wed-
ding work, but shipping trade was active
because there was so little good stock
throughout the country, the same as in
Chicago. Of course the change in the
weather resulted in a cutting down of
supply. Practically all outdoor flowers
are gone and there has been a reduction

in the receipts of roses and carnations.
This, with the increase in demand, has
made a brisk market. There has been
no special advance in quoted rates, but
selection is less close and the lower
grades are producing much better re-
turns than heretofore. One wholesaler
estimates that the average advance in
prices compared with last week has been
about twenty-five per cent.

There is a strong demand for chrysan-
themums and the supply has not in-
creased as rapidly as was expected. It
is possible to fill all advance orders, but
so little stock is received which has not
already been spoken for that the man
with the sudden call has some diflSculty
in making connections with the stock.
It is generally stated that the mums are
a week later than last year and the qual-
ity is not specially good, although h
few good Monrovia and October Frost
are seen.

The Beauty crop was on the wane last
week and prices have advanced. There
continue to be first-class Beauties, but
none too many of them, and those who

still are cutting in fair quantity are find-
ing a fine market. Other roses will
shortly show improvement as a result
of the change in the weather.

The quality of carnations is steadily
improving and now that outdoor flowers
are gone there is a better market. The
short-stemmed whites have specially
been benefited.

The daily receipts of violets from
Ehinebeck have begun. The weather
thus far has been too warm and the
stock has been poor; so poor, in fact,
that the wholesalers have not ventured
to offer it for reshipping, but now that
we have seasonable temperature again
we may expect a rapid improvement.

The list of flowers available is short
just now. There is plenty of valley, but
hardly any other lilies than longifiomm.
Asters are gone, gladioli are on the wane,
and the few dahlias are slow sale. Some
sweet peas are seen, but they are not
good. Orchids are more abundant.

There is a fair market for strings of
asparagus and for smilax, but other

greens are not yet moving to any great
extent.

Sunday, September 27, the thermom-
eter registered 86 degrees, and the next
. morning 40 degrees. September 28 and
29 were 10 degrees colder than normal
for the season. The weather man says
the cold snap has passed and that season-
able weather may now be expected.

The Thompson Affairs.

The Thompson affairs at Joliet appear
to be becoming more tangled, rather than
being straightened out. At a recent
meeting of the stockholders of the
Thompson Carnation Co., J. D. Thomp-
son was re-elected president and man-
ager, but legal action was instituted to
set aside the election. The Joliet Her-
ald says that "Charles Fish, who was re-
stored as president and general manager
of the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co.,
September 23, following the ousting of
J. D. Thompson as head of the corpora-
tion by an order issued by Judge A. O.
Marshall in the circuit court, through his
attorney, John W. Downey, has filed a
suit of replevin against Thompson to
regain possession of a horse, buggy, bank
account book, and several vases and cups
won at flower shows, which he claims are
unlawfully being held by the defendant."

The Joliet News says: "Albert C.
Eott states that he has acquired the
ownership of the Thompson floral busi-
ness at 110 North Chicago street. Mr.
Rett states that neither J. D. Thomp-
son, as an individual, nor the J. D.
Thompson Carnation Co., has any finan-
cial interest whatever in the Chicago
street enterprise. The business will c<;^Uv
tioue to be conduoted in the QaThfl,

Thompson, Florist, until further notice."
National Flower Show.
The executive committee for the na-
tional flower show held a meeting in
Chicago September 25, afternoon and
evening. Chairman W. F. Kasting, of
Buffalo, presided. He was the only out-
of-town member present. A large amount
of routine business was up for considera-
tion. It was decided to increase the ad-
mission price from 50 cents to 75 cents,
and make trade tickets 35 cents.

Various Notes.

The death of Samuel Pieser, known to
practically all the florists in Chicago,
is recorded in the obituary column this
week.

Miss Nell M. Sisler, who retired last
spring, after many years with E. H.
Hunt and later the corporation of that
name, of which she was secretary, has
returned from a summer's vacation spent
in the west. She has been greatly bene-
fited by the rest and is ready to make a
fresh connection in the flower business.

The Florists' Club will hold its regular
monthly meeting at the Union restaurant
this evening, October 1.

George Asmus reports that the Schiller
business is this week being installed in
its new store on West Madison street.

Phil Schupp, of Budlong's, in company
with Harry Manheim and Joe Dunn, made
a visit to a number of growers in the
north end September 27. He says it will
be some little time before the full cut of
mums is on.

Scheiden & Schoos in two weeks sold
43,000 asters for White Bros., of Gas-
port, N. y., and secured steadi^ advanc-
ing pr?eea. :,,;:, :,i„ii;^,,:|::,,^. ■ ■

we have made and sold more wire

October 3, and half a dozen smaller ones
for the same date. ISot many cut flowers
are to be used at Field's this year, ex-
cept several wagon-loads of hydrangeas
cut from their nursery.

The employees of the A. L, Randall
Co., and their friends, to the number of
about seventy-five, had a fine time at
Riessig's big red barn Saturday night,
September 26. There was an abun-
dance of refreshments and dancing con-
tinued until 1:15, when there was a
special car to bring the merrymakers
back to the city. Some of the costumes
were highly original.

Wietor Bros, are beginning to cut Oc-
tober Frost. N. J. Wietor says it is
lucky they gave this variety and Mon-
rovia benches with plenty of head room,
because the warm September sent them
up to a prodigious height, and they are
flowering one to two weeks later than
last year.

At E. H. Hunt's, C. M. Dickinson says
the supply business is also enjoying the
stimulus of autumn.

The A. L. Randall Co. is mailing out
its new, enlarged supply catalogue this

The Market

For a few days last week business
showed signs of improvement in the cut
flower line, but not sufficiently to say
that we are busy. . Window 4i8p^78
among the uptown florists are being in-
creased,,,sho;wing that there is niore life

in the business. A good, all-day rain
September 27 cooled things considerably,
and frost will, of course, put an end to
most of the outdoor stock, which has
been coming in quite heavily. Prices on
first grade stock went up a little Septem-
ber 28. Roses are good in all varieties.
Brides and Maids are better, as well as
Richmond and Killarney. All grades of
Beauties sell well. Carnations are im-
proving each day and some extra good
blooms are now seen, but not extra long-
stemmed. Enchantress is among the
best. Asters are about over for this
season, only a few small ones coming in.
Extra fine valley is in the market, also
a few good white chrysanthemums, but
not many as yet. Smilax is in good de-
mand, also asparagus and fancy ferns.

Various Notes.

Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, spent
a day in the city last week and says he
will be at the Springfield fair all this
week, where he will welcome all in the
trade who visit the fair.

Mrs. William Ellison reports that since
her return from her vacation trip they
have been busy. They furnished a golden
wedding last week, which was a $500
job, and made a $100 casket-cover on
Saturday, September 26, of smilax and
white carnations.

Adolph Brix says he is undecided as
to holding a free flower show next month.
If he does, he will show only stock from
his owa plant in the northern part of
the citjr. ,; .; . , . , . ,

The Market

Up to noon on Monday, September 28,
the long drought bad not been broken.
The forest fires in the Adirondacks and
Catskills were raging, and the air was
so laden with the smoke and ashes that
navigation was dangerous, and the
health of the community threatened.
The long promised showers and cooler
atmosphere arrived just in time. Market
gardeners, agriculturists, and every de-
partment of the horticultural business,
have greatly felt the strain. The re-
vival in the florists' trade has been slow
to come, and disastrous in its tardiness.
With the frosts, that cannot long be de-
layed, must come a change for the bet-
ter. The depression during the last
week is all the keener because of the
unexpected halt in the coming of the an-
ticipated better times. Never in the
memory of any florist in the wholesale
district has the revival been so long post-
poned.

Some of the violet growers have gath-
ered sense with experience, and are hold-
ing their products until the season opens.
The few pale samples that are coming
are only a parody on the reality. In a
couple of weeks the genuine article will
be here and I venture to predict that it
will win back this season some of its
old-time popularity.

Beauties grow in beauty and in value,

that is, the select. As Mgh as 30 cents
is obtained for those that merit it. Of
the smaller, short-stemmed Beauties and
of No. 2 roses of every kind, the better
way to indicate their results is silence.
Thousands of mildewed roses have been
sent in. No use; this is not the market
for them. The best or nothing, seems to
have expressed the condition of the de-
mand during these weary weeks of wait-
ing.

The asters have appeared in the last
act and the curtain has been rung down.
Sweet peas have joined the vanishing
host and the days of the gladioli are
numbered. Now come the chrysanthe-
mums upon the stage. The vanguard is
already here and some beautiful Mon-
rovia and Pacific are among them. Dah-
lias are abundant and beautiful. The
exhibition last week gave them such dis-
tinction as they have never before en-
joyed, both in the wonderful perfection
of the new varieties, and the large crowds
that attended the institute show. The
ofScials realize how much room is needed
for these displays and are already ar-
ranging for a big hall uptown for the
regular chrysanthemum show in Novem-
ber.

Orchids grow in beauty, variety and
numbers and in popularity. Many are
the October weddings announced, the
fashionable events, to be consummated
in the great ball rooms of the Plaza
and St. Regis hotels, where the roof gar-
dens and floricultural decorations are
featured as never before. Society is
now rapidly returning from the seashore
and the mountains, and the gloomy days
are nearly over. Before another week
the tide will turn and after the excite-
ment of the election has passed, there
seems nothing to prevent a recurrence of
the good times, so rudely interrupted a
year ago. Optimists • look for steady
progress and the best winter the trade
has ever known. Conservatives think the
wave of economy has gathered such force
that enterprise will be hard to awaken
and improvement will be slow. In any
event consolation may be had from the
fact tha^ worse would be impossible.

Good crowds attend and the variety of
stock offered is large and prices satis-
factory. Every Tuesday and Friday at
11 a. m. these offerings will continue
until further notice. Some large dec-
orative palm stock and splendid ever-
greens imported are among the latest
announcements. The Fruit Auction Co.,
that tested the possibility of a profitable
daily auction last season, seems to have
decided New York is hardly ripe for the
European innovation and no sales of
plants there have been made this fall.

Totty's Monrovia a week ago, it was
said by one of the Twenty-eighth street
wholesalers, brought $6 per dozen.

The agricultural fairs are all around
us and the October flower shows come in
a bunch. At Mineola, L. L, the attend-
ance averaged 20,000 daily. Stumpp &
Walter Co. made a fine display of bulbs,
seeds, etc. John Lewis Childs was para-
mount in palm and floral decorations
and Hicks & Sons and Adolph Jaenicke
had splendid exhibits of nursery stock.
Mr. Jaenicke showed his new scarlet
daisy and Mr. Hicks illustrated large
tree moving and retinospora in great va-
nety. Mr. Jaenicke reports a wide de-
mand for his specialty. Weinberg had
his usual assortment of cacti. But Henry
Eike said the racing ostriches created
more enthusiasm than the vegetables,
and the horse exhibits drew better than
the flowers. Nevertheless it is the crowd
that tells the story of profit or loss,
and the lesson of necessity as to novelty
and excitement is not lost upon those
who have in hand the coming exhibitions
u* and around New York. It is the only
way in this rapid age. Satiety is death,
ttmnanity iq hungry for the novel /{^nd

ager who realizes this will always win.

The last report as to John Scott's ill-
ness was encouraging and his early re-
covery is hoped for.

Alex. McConnell has fully recovered
from his long illness. Mr. Scott, Ms
lieutenant, has returned from his two

establishes its quality. The price
paid for the £oods should not re£ulate
the care in the selection and packing
of your orders. Ve know of only,
and permit only, one kind of pack-
ing—and that is the best years of ex-
perience has taught us, and it's
acknowledged to be the BEST.

The next item of utmost importance
is PROMPTNESS. Thathasalways
been a hobby with us. Your order,
from the time we receive it. until
delivered to the transportation com-
pany, is under the direct supervision
of a competent and responsible man.
That means you are getting the best
attention and prompt deliveries. We
are not infallible, human as you are,
but our system permits few mis-
takes; they are the rare exception
with us.

A sfirewd buyer always aims to
get the best value for Iiis money.
That we have the goods is an
acknowledged and established fact,
and along with our complete and

PHILADELPHIA.

., The Rising Eastern Market

September has closed with slightly
improved conditions in the cut flower
market. The weather has been bad, so
warm that it is almost impossible for
flowers to retain their color and crispn.ess
for any length of time. The heat has
also brought in an unusual quantity of
stock, even for this usually productive
season of the year. Fortunately, how-
ever, rain has improved outdoor condi-
tions, which were becoming serious.

The dahlia is the leading flower of the
day, and, despite the drought that has
just ended, it has been as fine a season
for this autumnal flower as we have ever
had. The demand for dahlias is improv-
ing and, while it can never be said that
the demand equals the supply of a flower
that can be shipped by the wagon-load,
the demand sometimes equals the supply
of certain varieties, and often consumes
a large part of the supply of all the
varieties.

Asters are waning rapidly. There are
nothing like as many asters in the market
as there were a week ago, and while there
is still a fair demand for fancy white
and soft pink, it is not always easy to
obtain the stock to meet this demand.

Roses are extraordinarily plentiful,
with only the higher grades bringing
satisfactory prices. Carnations are im-
proving, though it will take cooler
weather to make them what they should
be. There is quite a brisk demand
springing up for the divine flower, due,
probably, to the decline of the aster.
Violets are improving. The singles are
now shipable, which means that stems,
size and fragrance are such that they
will not reflect discredit.

Cosmos is plentiful in all the colors.
Valley has been selling better than for
some time past, with excellent prospects.
Orchids, owing to some special demands,
have sold well. Considering weather and
business conditions, the improvement in
the market is gratifying. A few early
chrysanthemums have made their appear-
ance.

What Philadelphia Can Do.

It is generally conceded that Philadel-
phia, yes, sleepy Philadelphia, is facile
princeps in florists' supplies, in foliage
plants, in seeds and bulbs, and in the
wholesaling of cut flowers. But what

Philadelphia can do in this last respect
has never been exactly measured. An
opportunity arose last week, when it
became noised around that Chicago and
Philadelphia were bidding against each
other for a certain out-of-town cut flower
order. There were rumors, and counter-
rumors, and finally, it was positively
stated in wholesale circles that the order
had gone to Chicago, and Phil was
definitely instructed to say nothing what-
ever about it, just to let Chicago do the
crowing. When, .presto! it was oflBcially
announced that Philadelphia had secured
the order and filled it! But, you will
ask, what in the world does all this
palaver mean? Simply that W. E. Mc-
Kissiok sent 5,000 American Beauty roses
and some peas in one order out of this
city last week. What do you think of
that?

A Good Device.

Israel Rosnosky, who has just returned
from a business trip in the interests of
the Henry F. Michell Co. to Maryland,
Virginia, and the District of Columbia,
says that while at Richmond, Va., he
saw an interesting device for sterilizing
soil. It was at the establishment of
Mann & Brown. It seems that the firm
was troubled with pests in the soil and
decided that it must be sterilized to get
rid of the nuisance. Accordingly, they
arranged a trough, so to speak, between
their houses, where the carts were dumped
and the wheelbarrows filled with soil for
planting the houses. Into this trough
they introduced a steam pipe, dividing it
and running two pipes at right angles
and then continuing them with an ell
something in a U-shape. The steam was
allowed to escape through outlets at
proper distances and the soil dumped in
the trough on top of the pipes before
being wheeled into the houses. It was
allowed to lie there until as dry as punk.
Mr. Rosnosky considers the device inval-
uable, and believes that each grower can
work out the details to suit his own indi-
vidual case.

Deadi of Mr. PauL

James W. Paul, Jr.. president of the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, died
at Hot Springs, Va., September 25. Mr,

may come soon. Asters continue abun-
dant, but less so than a week ago. We
never remember to have seen so many
of them, nor of finer quality than this
season. Gladioli and sweet peas are each
growing less. Of indoor flowers, roses
are more than enough for all needs and
do not advance in price. Carnations are
more plentiful daily, but sell rather
■lowly. Violets are seen in good num-
bers, mostly singles. Of lilies there is
a small but steady supply, ample for all
needs. Lily of the valley remains much
the same. There is no change in prices
of asparagus, adiantum and smilax.

Quite a few Cattleya labiata are now'
seen at the better stores.

Various Notes.

Much sympathy is being expressed for
Mrs. E. M. Gill, the well known Medford
florist, who lost her daughter. Miss E. F.

The Brockton fair is the great attrac-

The gates opened September 29 and an
attendance approximating 200,000 is
looked for on the four days during which
it will be open. Dahlias make a big
showing.

fine show is anticipated.

P. J. Van Baarda, of J. Breck & Sons,
is back from his European trip. He se-
cured some desirable novelties for his
firm. Much of his time was spent in
Holland.

Eecent visitors included David Smith,
of Thomas Smith & Sons, Stranraer,
Scotland, and D. Wallace, representing
Hosea Waterer, of Philadelphia.

The present month has been a busy
one with the growing body of New Eng-
land dahlia specialists. The numerous
fairs are incomplete without their com-
plement of the popular fall flowpr and
all make good advertising for the ex-
hibitors.

A complimentary banquet was tendered
Lawrence Cotter September 26 at the

Dorchester to assume the superintendency
of the Lake View Rose Gardens, James-

him every success in his new charge.

W. H. Elliott is sending in some fine
Killarney roses from his Madbury, N. H.,
establishment.

William Sim is already marketing a
fine lot of single violets.

Professor C. S. Sargent is back from
his annual European trip.

September has proved an unusually
warm month and a rainless one. The

The Market

Rain has come at last and with it
much colder weather. The rain was one
of the slow, soaking kind, and a good
deal of water fell. It was certainly a
relief, too. Now the dust is settled for
the first time in two months and the at-
mosphere is cleared- The cool weather
will also help the flower business. It
will start the public buying as nothing
else will and it will give the growers a
chance to get their stock into good con-
dition. It will work wonders for the
mum, especially in the way of keeping
qualities.

As a matter of fact, for the last few
days business has been good. The home
trade has been lively and there has been
a decided increase in the shipping trade.
It all goes to show that business is be-
ginning to stir itself again, and before
we know it we will be in the midst of
fall business and the trade papers will
be reporting it as good as ever, in spite
of the presidential year and all of those
other things which the pessimist is con-
stantly bringing forward to make us be-
lieve we are all going to ruin. Just at-
tend to business and keep things moving
and you will have no kick coming when
you foot up the season's business.

Flowers are coming in heavily, with a
noticeable improvement in the quality.

Boses are especially strong and there is
a decided increase in carnations, but the
demand is taking all that comes. Mums
are more in evidence every day, but it
will be at least a week till they are in
any quantity. Outdoor flowers are about
over. Some few dahlias are about all
that are left and we are not sorry to
see them go.

We are well supplied with green goods
of all kinds, Sprengeri being especially
in demand.

The fall openings of our largest dry
goods stores used up a large quantity
of flowers, one of them using many hun-
dreds of Beauties.

Various Notes.

G. Brunner's Sons, of Price Hill, had
charge of the plant and flower decora-
tion for the opening of McAlpin's, and
their work was very eflFeetive.

E. G. Gillett has taken C. J. Ohmer,
his nephew, into partnership. Mr. Ohmer
has been with him for twelve years and
is the manager and owner of the Florists'
Wire Design Co. He has been the Re-
view correspondent for six years. The
two businesses will be combined under

the name of Gillett & Ohmer, with sales-
rooms and factory at 131 East Third

tober 1.

his annual attack of hay fever.

The Market

There has been quite an improvement
in trade. While there have been no
specially large orders, there seems to be
an improvement all around, which seems
to indicate better things. There is still
plenty of stock, for while gladioli and
asters have about disappeared, there are
quantities of Beauties, roses and carna-
tions, with chrysanthemums well in sight,
so there will be no scarcity, even with
the improvement in trade.

Best Atmosphere for
Keeping Flo'vcrers

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-
ance. They' can be furnished with mirrors, and are lined with white
enamel, tile, opal glass, marble, etc., to suit your taste and pocketbook.
A McCray Refrigerator will last more than a lifetime, and will save
ice for you daily, and will keep your stock in fresher condition than any
other refrigerator on the market.

Seed Trade News.

AMKBlCAir 8KED TBADK ASSOCUTIOH.

Pres., Watson 8. Woodruff, Orange, Conn.;
First Vice-pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterioo, Neb.;
Sec'y and Treas.. C. E. Kendel, Cleveland.

The real status of the bean situation
is not yet known.

Peas are turning out about as short as
the most conservative estimators pre-
dicted.

Bulb trade is fair; what is needed is
a good frost to start the demand for
outdoor planting.

Onion seed is apparently a? scarce as
the grower who could not land a con-
tract order hoped for.

Visited Chicago: Lester C. Morse, of
C. C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, Cal.;
Arthur Clark, of E. B. Clark Seed Co.,
Milford, Conn.

The onion fields of the central west
have not panned out as well as was ex-
pected some time back, but the growers
have had weather to harvest it in that
would be a credit to California.

At Chicago the onion set crop has for
the most part gone into winter quarters.
No rain from harvest time until the time
of putting them into the warehouses
means a great deal added to the keeping
quality of the product, j, <•

W. J. Mack, secretary J. C. Eobinson
Seed Co., Waterloo, Neb., sjiys they have
not yet been able to complete inspection
of squashes, pumpkins an"d corn. He
says they will be able to make very fair
deliveries on 'watermelon, but cucumber
and muskmeloD are practical failures.

In general, all of the seed crops are
short, vine seeds especially so, not ex-
cepting the cucumber. Turnip beets and
a whole lot of other standard European
crops are getting less as each statement
of probable delivery is sent out. It will
be necessary to advance prices all along
the line to keep things even.

P. J. Van Baarda, of Joseph Breck &
Sons, Boston, has returned from his
European trip.

A. C. ZvoLANEK reports that the sea-
son has been a good one in the sale of
sweet pea seed and many of his vari-
eties are nearly sold out.

The Western Packers' Canned Goods
Association will hoWP^a meeting at the
Sherman House, Chicago, October 15, at
which a large attendance is expected.

D. V. BuRRELL, Eocky Ford, Colo., is
shipping cantaloupes to market in crates
of standard length and width, but only
deep enough to contain one layer of
melons.

The United States court at St. Louis
has set October 7 as the date for con-
sideration of the application of the St.
Louis Seed Co. for confirmation of its
composition with its creditors at 33 1-3
cents on the dollar.

It is reported that J. A. Everett, In-
dianapolis, has begun suit against the
publishers of the Equity Farm Journal
for $100,000 damage for expressing a
doubt as to the authentic character of
some of Everett's seed novelties.

EoGERs Bros., Alpena, Mich., report:
"Only a small part of our crops have
been delivered so far. They are mostly
running below our field estimates, which
is on account of the severe drought and
hot winds. Think our yield will be be-
low 1907."

G. S. Crego, the originator of the
Crego aster, who removed last spring
from Maywood, 111., to Portland, Ore.,
says that his field of asters is in fine
condition and protnising a moderate crop
of good seed. He says the cool, moist
climate is conducive to slow but normal
development.

At Richmond, Va., the T. J. King
Seed Co. has been granted a certificate
of incorporation with from $50,000 to
$100,000 capital stock. The officers are:
President, T. J. King; vice-president,
C. W. King; secretary and treasurer,
C. W. Winn; J. D. King, D. E. Mid-
yeete and J. J. Addison, all of Eichmond.

The European seeds are coming in
earlier this year than last.

Damaging' rains are reported from the
lima bean district in southern California.

Tomato is another of the seed crops
about which discouraging reports are
heard.

The prospect for an adequate crop of
seed of most varieties of sweet com has
been measurably improved in the last
few weeks.

CONNECTICUT SEED CROPS.

Frederick M. Clark, secretary of the
Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford,
Conn., wrote as follows, under date of
September 26:

"Our seed crops at the present time
have all been harvested, with the ex-
ception of sweet corn. Our onion seed,
the last week before harvesting, expe-
rienced two severe storms, one a wind
and rain storm the other a severe rain
storm. This caused blight to affect a
great many fields to the extent that the
yield will not be over fifty per cent of
normal in this section. Our sweet corn
is curing down abnormally early and will
be of excellent quality. The yield and
breadth, however, will not be heavy."

AS RICE SEES THE SITUATION.

Writing under date of September 22^
the Jerome B. Eice Seed Co., Cambridge,.
N. Y., discussed the seed crop situation
as follows:

"In regard to crop prospects as we
view them at the present time, appear-
ances are for more shortages in the cata-
logue than before in many a day. Among^
the crops which are short we can mention
peas of the garden varieties. At pres-
ent it does not appear what the crop is
really going to give us, but enough peas
have been delivered to show us that the
growers did not produce a surplus.

"Beans, the garden varieties, are also
a short crop, but as there has been a con-
siderable stock of the 1907 crop carried
over, we do not think any serious short-
age will be experienced.

"The weather for ripening sweet corn
has been good, and, while the yield and

the acreage are not excessive, yet the crop
is going to get well ripened up. and in
all probability there will be enough to
go around and prices must be moderate.

"Vine seeds of all kinds are on the
short side. The red onions are also short
in supply and those that grow on contract
are not filling their contract orders.

"Beet seed is a short crop and many
other articles on the list will also be
known as short items before the season
goes by. Prices are bound to rule strong
on everything above mentioned."

NEBRASKA SEED CROPS.

Wm. Emerson, manager of the West-
ern Seed and Irrigation Co., Fremont,
Neb., has made a tour of the district on
crop inspection. Writing September 23,
he said:

"The writer has just inspected our
melon crops, and regret to state found
them even poorer than anticipated. The
prospects, therefore, are very unfavor-
able for anything like one-half an aver-
age crop of muskmelon and watermelon,
and in a very large number of cases the
crops will not pay to harvest, and we will
not be able to secure suflScient seed for
our own planting.

"Pumpkin and squash will also be
rather light crops, but we believe in most
eases somewhat better than the cucumber
and melon.

"Sweet and field corn crops are matur-
ing nicely, and while some of the later
crops arc quite badly worm-eaten, we
hope to have, generally speaking, fair
yields and good quality to apply upon
our orders. We believe, however, that
some of the very late crops of replanted
com will prove to be somewhat light and
chaffy, on account of the very hot
weather ripening these late crops too
quickly, and which, of course, will have
a tendency to reduce the yield."

THE CROP OF FESCUES.

Conrad Appel, Darmstadt, Germany,
^rote under date of September 10, in
part, as follows of the several varieties
•f f estuca :

"Festuca elatior, the guaranteed true
Bhenish product, which is only grown in
a small district, yielded much less than
last year. Consequently a higher price
had to be granted for the rough seed;
therefore the recleaned qualities, specially
the superior grades, will demand higher
figures. The new crop produced a seed
of first-class quality, and I can only
advise everybody, who knows the ad-
rantage specially of this true Ehenish
product, to commence buying in his
stock now. Some parties try to use
Festuca pratensis as an equivalent fo^
this sort, because in former normal years
the latter reached double the figure

which had to be paid for the other kind;
but Festuca pratensis cannot at all re-
place the true Rhenish tall fescue, the
latter having a much higher value for
agriculture. This year, owing to the
enormous price of Festuca pratensis,
everybody should prefer Festuca elatior.

"Of Festuca duriuscula and Festuca
ovina, at the beginning of the season
there were hopes for a good crop, but
in July before the harvest started we
found out that many fields had been
thickly covered with clover and in con-
sequence have been used to make hay.
The grounds left for seed production
represent only a small percentage of the
whole acreage, so that the result is much
behind last year's yield. The buying
prices, particularly for cleaner, better
qualities, went up rapidly and reached
the limits we had in 1901. Many lots of
the new crop are intermixed with sorrel,
trefoil in shells and seradella, which
makes it costly to clean them and raises
the prices for the fancy and still more
for the superfine grades; the same situa-
tions and sale prices we had already in
1901. as mentioned before.

"Festuca ovina angustifolia yielded
somewhat better than last season, Ijut the

BULB GROWERS IN HOLLAND.

Jubilee Bulb Show at Haarlem in 1910.

The Dutch Bulb Growers' Society is
organizing an important flower show in
commemoration of its half -centenary.

It is well known that this society till
now has organized shows of forced bulb-
ous plants every five years. The last
exhibition of this kind was held at
Haarlem, March, 1905, and although the
quality of the exhibits was of a high
standard, the show as a whole was not a
great success. All the visitors, and espe-
cially the foreign members of the jury,
were unanimous in declaring that a
show of flowering bulbs in the open
ground was to be preferred in future.
The general meeting of the society de-
cided that the next quinquennial show
should be held in the flowering season of
the bulbs, from the first day of April
till the middle of May in the year 1910.
The Haarlem city council, recognizing
the high economical importance of bulb
culture, has consented that the most pic-
turesque part of the city park shall be
disposed of as a site for the show, and
consequently it will be possible to pre-
pare a floral exhibition of a quite dis-

tinct and new character, situated in land-
scape scenery of rare beauty.

The flowering season of hyacinths and
tulips every year attracts large crowds
of visitors, not only horticulturists wish-
ing to inspect and to control stocks and
growers, but also tourists for pleasure,
who have always been highly delighted
with the unique floral beauty of pictur-
esque Holland in April and May.

The proposed exhibition will doubtless
be a true floral fete, and Haarlem dur-
ing the days of the show will become
the rendezvous of horticulturists and
amateurs from all parts of the world.

The Dutch Bulb Growers' Society has
every reason to celebrate its half-cente-
nary in this wny, considering its pros-

position. Having been founded in 1860
with about 150 members, the society has

THE QUESTION BOX.

Is there a white seeded onion, and if
80, what is its name?

What is the cause of beets going to
seed without making bottoms?

Why is it I cannot get sets, here in
thQ state of Washington, from the peren-
nial onion that I received from the east
two years ago, and why don 't they multi-
ply as they do in the east? C. J. J.

There is not a white seeded onion, as
far as we know.

Beets and many other biennial crops
go to seed when a sufficient check in their
growth takes place. A long spell of dry
weather coming after conditions have
been favorable to a good growth may
cause a check, and when rains come
again and conditions favor a second
quick growth the natural tendency of
a biennial plant is to push forward to
the second natural stage, which is the
production of seed.

There are no reasons except adverse
climatic or soil conditions that can pre-
vent a perennial or Egyptian onion from
fulfilling its natural growth anywhere.

THE MARKET GARDENER'S VIEW

I believe I am the gardener whose
offer of $10 a pound for seed of the
Prizetaker onion, guaranteed true to
name, was published nearly a year ago in
the Rural New Yorker. A number of
prominent seed firms replied to the prop-
osition by saying that probably this man
would be willing to pay the price for

guaranteed seed, but the majority would
not, hence there was not one of them
willing to guarantee any portion even
of genuine Prizetaker. As a general
proposition I would not like to pay $10
a pound for true seed of the Prize-
taker, for I know it can be grown pure
and placed in the hands of the planter
for less, but were I obliged to choQse
between true-to-name seed at $10 a
pound and the miserable mixture some-
times exposed for sale under that name
for nothing I would choose the $10 seed.
The last few years I have grown some
of my own seed. I do not do this as a
matter of choice, but because I cannot
buy the kind of seed I want. The onions
I selected for seed are large, a perfect
globe with a small neck, smaller even
than a lead pencil, of a beautiful, perfect
straw color. Had I crated up those
onions in a crate similar to those that
are sold for 5 cents a pound in grocery
stores under the name of "Spanish," no
man could have told the difference be-
tween mine and the Spanish; I could
have sold mine for the same price the
Spanish onions sold for, and with the
money so received might now buy one
and one-half pounds of Prizetaker seed
for- every pound I harvested. You will
see that I am out all of the labor and
expense of growing, harvesting and
cleaning the seed besides. The commer-

grow his seed cheaper, but he cannot
grow the kind of seed that I have for
the amount of money he gets as his share
and live and prosper as he deserves.

I believe I am within the bounds of
reason and truth when I say that owing
to seed adulteration the planter loses
millions annually. This fact was brought
home to me again last fall when I
placed upon the market turnips grown

Florists' Review

Wlien Wrltlna: Adverttser*

wanted to know what kind of washing
powder I used that produced such bright,
clean turnips, but everyona wanted to
know the name of the turnip. When I
told them it was the Eed-top White
Globe, they could scarcely believe it.
"Why," they said, "we planted the
same kind, but we have no such turnips. ' '
Of course not; \ didn't have them either,
before. I sold them for 50 cents a half
bushel basket and though I put as many
as thirty baskets a trip on my market
wagon I never had enough to go around,
and this when turnips of the common
variety went begging for a buyer at 25
cents a basket. In producing this seed
I selected a turnip somewhat elongated,
with as small a top and tap root as
possible, the white I wanted as waxy
white as possible, and the purple as
bright and distinct as colors can be pro-
duced. I certainly have a thoroughbred
turnip, but don't anybody ask me for
seed. I have none to sell, nor shall I
ever be in the seed business.

Now a word as to the price of seeds
charged by the seed merchant. If the
grower of seeds who produces such seeds
as I am advocating, got every cent that
the seed merchant sells his stock for, I
do not believe that this would be suffi-
cient pay to grow seed as pure and
carefully as it should be grown. Poor
seed is dear at any price, but it seems
to me that quality is lost sight of by the
seed merchant in a desire to produce
cheap seeds, probably to undersell his
competitor. I might sum up the prin-
cipal causes of cheap and inferior seed,
which may be attributed to a species of
parasites, bugs, humbugs and other in-
sects which feed upon both production
and distribution of the seed business.
Prof. Slingerland usually is able to name
a remedy or spray to destroy or keep
in check all of them except the humbug.
This is the one that mails you that high-
priced catalogue full of impossible pic-
tures and exaggerated descriptions. I
have in mind a picture of a Prizetaker
onion in one of those catalogues, I
•wish I were able to reproduce it in
size, shape and color. If these fellows
could be eliminated and the seed grower
brought together with the gardener,
truck and general farmer, our crops
would be much better, our meadows
cleaner and freer from noxious weeds; in
fact, it would greatly benefit both pro-
ducer and consumer.

J. H. Bollinger.

THE STYLE IN CATALOGUES.

As 1907 styles in seed catalogues will
prevail in 1908, "only more so," it will
be interesting to note what a writer in
a leading agricultural paper said last
spring:

"The seed and nursery catalogues for
the season are now nearly all in the hands
of readers. With rare exceptions they
are a fine lot — probably the most at-
tractive and useful set of horticultural
trade publications that has been issued
in this country. That there is still room
for improvement, the business firms re-
sponsible for them will doubtless admit,
but the progress made in eliminating the
objectionable features of former issues
is most gratifying. The covers generally
are free from the glaring color effects
once so commonly used. Many are in
monochrome or subdued tints that -are
at once artistic and agreeable. Colored
plates are much reduced in number and
generally only used to illustrate some
striking specialty. Well-finished half-

tones to greater degree than ever replace
the astounding woodcuts of former days.
But it is in the descriptive matter that
the greatest reforms are made. Some
of the catalogues have been re-written to
considerable extent and nearly all appear
to have been carefully edited. Generally
a more conservative tone has been adopt-
ed, but a small minority deem it good
business to retain much of the old vo-
ciferous phraseology, and some of the
exaggerated illustrations. Apparently
their customers are able to estimate these
windy statements at their proper value.
Novelties of promise are few, and their

WORK WITH EASTER LILIES.

Prof. B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry, U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, in a report in the
Yearbook, has this to say of the work
done with Easter lilies:

The growing of lilies in the United
States is rapidly becoming an important
industry. Large quantities of bulbs have
in years past been imported from Ber-
muda, Japan, and other countries, and
the demand seems on the increase. Vari-
ous lines of work have been undertaken
and carried out by G. W. Oliver, chiefly
for the purpose of securing new types of
lilies by hybridizing and crossing and to
demonstrate the practicability of grow-
ing lilies in the United States directly
from seed.

One of the most promising hybrids has
resulted from crossing the Philippine lily
(Lilium Philippense) and the Bermuda

lily. The Philippine lily takes two
months to come into bloom from the
period of planting the bulb, while the
Lilium longiflorum and its various forms
require in the neighborhood of five
months. Therefore it would be a great
saving if the time taken to force a good
Easter lily could be reduced from one to
two months. With a view to bringing
this about, the hybridization of the Phil-
ippine lily and the Harrisii variety of the
Lilium iongiflorum has been effected.
The result of the cross is a flower longer
than that of Harrisii, but not quite as

broad and a little shorter than that of
the Philippine lily. The segments of the
flower of the Harrisii are from five to six
inches long. Up to this time we have
had to depend on the Philippine Islands
for the supply of the Philippine lilies,
and they arrive early in the spring, when
we can not use them for forcing. By
growing them in California we can get
them in the fall in good time for forcing
into flower during the winter. The plants
so far grown in California do not show
signs of the lily disease.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

OCTOBXB 1, 19M.

Witli the production of lilies has been
under way for the past four years. It
(Consists, first, of selecting plants which
flho^ freedom from disease as manifested
by spotted leaves and distorted flowers.
The varieties selected are those well
known under the names of multiflorum,
Harrisii, and giganteum. When these
plants come into bloom the flowers are
cross-fertilized, with certain purposes in
tiew. The seeds from these plants are
sent to California and other places about
the end of the summer. They are planted
out in the field in the following spring,
and in a year from that period the
growth made by the seedlings is so great
that hundreds of plants have been re-
«ently produced bearing in the neighbor-
hood of thirty flowers to a stem. As one
would naturally suppose, disease is not
anything like as prevalent in these Cali-
fornia-grown plants as it is in Bermuda
and Japan, the present sources of supply
of bulbs used in the United States. So
far as the work has gone, the results have
been very encouraging, especially in
sotithern California, so that we are rea-
sonably certain that the supply of bulbs
will in due course of time be produced
within our own borders.

There is a large tract of country with
soil suitable for lily growing in the south-
western portion of California, from Santa
Barbara down and extending inward for
several miles. The bulbs can be har-
vested by August 1. Some of those pro-
duced during the past season from two
^and three-year-old plants are very large
and satisfactory. Among some bulbs re-
cently received by the Department of
Agriculture was one which measured
fourteen and one-half inches in circum-
ference; others closely approximated this
size. It would seem that the method of
reproduction by seed, saving desirable
types from the seedlings and propagating
those only by division and not from
scales, is the true solution of the prob-
lem confronting the Easter lily industry
in the United States. Should it be found
practicable to fix any of the varieties so
that they will come absolutely true from
seed, then the method of procedure will
be facilitated.

NORVICH, CONN.

The dahlia show of the New London
County Horticultural Society, held Sat-
urday afternoon and evening, September
19, in Buckingham Memorial, is reported
to have been the most successful ever
given by the society. The attendance
was the largest in the society's history.
The exhibition was twice as large as ever
before, and there was not room enough
to show the flowers to best advantage.

There were all kinds and colors of
dahlias. The two cactus varieties, Au-
rora and Gondola, carried off most of
the honors.

The entire west end of the hall waa
occupied with the gladiolus show by B. H.
Tracy, of Wenham, Mass., who showed
325 spikes of different colors.

There was a large jardiniere of the
American gladiolus by John Lewis
Childs, of New York, there being 100
spikes.

The exhibit of W. W. Rawson, of Bos-
ton, included dahlias and gladioli.

Much interest was shown in the dis-
play of single dahlia seedings by Alex-
ander MacLellan, of Newport, who had
four large vases, with 150 blossoms,
largely of the Twentieth Century type.

The dahlias were classified and ar-
ranged by William W. Ives and the
asters by S. Alpheus Gilbert.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

OCTOBEK 1, 1908,

PACIFIC COAST.

San Francisco, Cal. — Burglars entered
the residence of A. J. Hossi on the after-
noon of September 26, in the absence of
the family, and stole jewelry valued at
about $200.

Los Angeles, Cal. — The police are de-
taining Arthur M. Hanks at the county
hospital. He is considered insane and
tells many strange tales, one of which is
that he murdered his father six years
ago. The father is now thought to be
living in Eochester, Minn.

Seattle, Wash. — J. J. Bonnell's nurs-
ery, at Twenty-sixth avenue north and
East Galer street, was slightly damaged
recently by a fire which started, from an
unknown cause, in a neighboring store-
room. Some valuable plants and shrubs
were destroyed and it was only through
great effort that the greenhouses were
saved.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business is quiet and flowers are not
overplentiful. The ending of the aster
season has thrown the bulk of demands
on the carnation crop and, as a result,
everything has been closely cleaned up.
This would not be so noticeable if the
outside mums were in sufficient quantity
to be of material benefit, but it will
be a couple of weeks before they will be
plentiful, and in the meanwhile we will
have to worry along on a short assort-
ment. The continued cool weather has
not been conducive to an excess of in-
door carnations, and with some of the
lighter shades there has really been a
shortage. Bright reds have also been in
better demand than they have in supply,
and the same can be said of practically
everything in the rose line.

Violets are quite plentiful. The grow-
ers are charging the stores $1 per dozen
bunches. "White dahlias have made their
appearance in large quantities and they
come in handy for funeral work. Sweet
peas are gradually getting shorter of
stem and the flowers are beginning to
show the effects of the long, cold nights.
Amaryllis are practically out of market
for the year. Valley is plentiful, but
moves slowly. Japanese lilies are still
in the market and the demand for them
keeps up well. They have been one of
the best money-makers for the florists
this year.

All the dealers have an idea that
business will be good in October and it
is to be hoped they prophesy well.

Various Notes.

Thomas Hooper has completed a large
fern house at his place on Grand avenue,
Elmhurst.

E. James, of Elmhurst, has one large
house completely devoted to poinsettias
for the holiday trade.

Clarke Bros., of Fruitvale, are cutting
enormous quantities of Japanese lilies
at the present time.

The Hassard Nursery Co., of Melrose,
is devoting a large portion of its ground
to the growing of stevia for winter cut-
ting.

T. R. Phillips has left for a week's
trip to Los Angeles.

J, M. Holland will dispose of his re-
tail store at Mountain View cemetery.

NARQSSUS AND DAFFODIL.

Their Culture in California.

Although the narcissus and daffodil
are usually supposed to be of the easiest
culture, it is surprising how few Cali-
fornia growers have much success with
field-grown flowers and bulbs after the
first or second season.

They usually claim that the bulbs "run
out" and, after a couple of seasons, quit
blooming and finally disappear com-
pletely. This is more noticeable with
yellow daffodils than with Paper White
or other varieties of narcissus.

To begin with, the bulbs should be
grown by themselves, each sort well sep-
arated and nothing mixed with them.
Most of the varieties in this climate
should be separated and transplanted at
least once in three years. This does not
answer for all varieties, but with the
usually grown commercial kinds it is a
good rule to follow.

Provided the soil is not too heavy or
too sandy, I have had practically the
same success in half a dozen different
kinds of soil in this locality, so a slight
excess of any one ingredient does not
much matter. The ground must be
spaded and worked well between the
rows to insure the proper development
of the young bulbs, for the reason that
in the rainless portion of California the
ground will invariably dry out too much
and pack too hard to allow the bulbs to
grow properly. It might be thought that
artificial watering would be a good plan
under such conditions, but I have found
that working the ground is much the
preferable way. Always allow the tops
to dry off naturally.

• The bulbs should be dug at least once
in three years and replanted in newer
ground. If the beds are neglected the
bulbs have the habit of apparently hunt-
ing the moisture and will always be
found very deep in the ground. Under
these conditions the bulbs are always
weak, and it is so long before the mois-

ture reaches them that they usually are
very late in flowering. Again, the effort
of sending up a stem is so great on the
bulb that the flower is usually weak or
else the bulb produces nothing but leaves
and finally dies.

It is chiefly for the foregoing reasons
that the growers do not succeed in keep-
ing bulb fields indefinitely, and not be-
cause the soil or climate of California is
unsuited to bulb culture. G.

HANDLING NATIVE PALMS.

In the vicinity of San Francisco this
is one of the best times during the year
to handle nursery-grown palms and to
transplant them from the ground into
tubs so as to have them handy for winter
and spring trade. It is surprising what
a difference it makes whether customers
are shown palms in boxes or growing
in the open. If they have had any ex-
perience they will usually tell you that
palms cannot be transplanted with any

degree of safety from the nursery rows,
and they prefer to purchase a plant in
a box, even if they have to pay extra
for it.

The transplanting of palms by gar-
deners •who do not fully understand the
points that must be borne in mind is to
blame for this, and many a nice order
has been lost because the purchaser ab-
solutely refused to buy anything not
already established in a box. There is
nothing easier to transplant than a palm,
provided the gardener understands a few
common principles that apply to a large
majority of the palm family. The first
point is the season. Outdoor-grown
plants should always be handled during
the growing season, which extends from
April to December. I mean here, of
course, where it is necessary to cut a
considerable portion of the roots during
the operation. Next cut back the leaves
in proportion as you have slaughtered
the roots. This makes but little dif-
ference in this climate, where the palm
trees grow rapidly and a new set of
branches is soon formed. This is espe-
cially important when the tree has been
growing for quite a time without being
transplanted and has made a lot of
heavy roots, which must necessarily be
lost in the transplanting.

How far the proposition of transplant-
ing large palms may be carried without
killing them may be judged by the fact
that the writer removed fifteen Phoenix
Canariensis from a bed of pure sand,
none of the plants less than ten feet
high and from which all the soil dropped
when they were taken up. But being
particular to get all the roots possible
and cutting off ninety per cent of the
foliage, keeping them shaded and well
watered for a month, was all that was
necessary and in a year's time they were
practically as large as they had been be-
fore and were all well established in
tubs. This can be done equally well with

any of the varieties of native fan
palms, although it is always advisable
to try to keep some of the soil intact
on the roots, but if this is impossible it
really does not make any great differ-
ence, provided the grower is in condition
to handle them as I have advised.

When palms are in their most dormant
state, and that is during our coldest
months, they cannot be transplanted as
easily as at this time of the year. They
do not stand an excess of moisture and
if they are to be left a considerable time
in damp, frosty ground at the time that
they are not naturally making quantities
of new roots, they will quickly succumb.
I refer here, of course, to plants that
have lost a quantity of roots in trans-
planting and not to well established
plants from pots or tubs. G.

Schenectady, N. Y. — Julius W. Eger,
formerly with Fred A. Howe, has re-
moved his place of business from 511
Union street to 729 State street.

Palestine, III. — E. T. Oldham says
this has been his banner year, although
not much but funeral work is being done
just at present. Crops are poor and
stock is suffering for want of water, as
the water supply is dangerously low.
There have been no good showers here
since May. Old settlers say that this is
the longest drought they ever saw in this
part of the country.

The Hutchinson Nursery, at Hutchin-
son, Minn., is erecting a new storage
house.

The more white pine is planted the
more favorably it will be known as a re-
liable hardy evergreen, and a beautiful
one as well.

In October magazines Peters' Nursery,
Knoxville, Tenn., is advertising field-
grown roses for fall planting. Fall
planting deserves every encouragement.

The Hurricane Nursery Co. has been
incorporated at Hurricane, Utah, with a
capital stock of $5,000. Amos Work-
man, J. W. Imley, Charles A. Workman,
Jacob L. Workman and T. H. Hinton are
the directors.

There appears to be again a growing
demand for Hydrangea paniculata. There
is a great deal of it used for decorative
work, especially at such resorts of the
wealthy as Newport, R. I., where it is,
they say, a common sight to see a grower
driving into the city with a wagon-load,
the whole to be used up in one decora-
tion. Standard specimen plants of this
hydrangea are gaining favor.

The choice varieties of pecans, which
are now being propagated by budding
and grafting and are being planted so
largely in up-to-date orchards, are rarely
seen in the general market Many peo-
ple have never seen them and fewer still
have tested ^lem in comparison with the
nut from the common seedling. They
need to be seen, cracked and eaten in
order to appreciate their superiority.

Buyers of fruit trees are sometimes
apt to blame nurserymen for the failure
of the trees to grow, when the cause is
plainly visible in their own neglect to
take reasonable care of the trees in keep-
ing the soil cultivated and free from
weeds and grass, at least during the first
season. It is idle to expect young fruit
trees to thrive when the ground is over-
run with a rank growth of grass or
weeds.

If heavy rains are not forthcoming
before frost sets in, it will go hard with
young evergreens in many parts of the
country. Wherever it is possible to give
these water by artificial means, no time
should be lost in doing so, because there-
by many valuable young trees may be
saved. In several places hardy rhodo-
dendrons are already suffering severely
because of so long a spell of dry weather.
It may be well to go to the trouble and
expense of watering these also, especially
if there is grave danger of their not
surviving the coming winter.

Forest experiment stations will soon
be established in a number of the states
of the west, according to plans which
h^ve just been completed by the United
States Forest Service. These new sta-
tions are expected to do the same for
the development of American forests as
a^jricultural experiment stations have
dpne for tbe improvement of the coun-
try's farms. As a first step in this
work an experiment station has already

EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS.

The subject of duty on evergreen seed-
lings, which was gone into on the Ouwer-
kerk case, has been up again before the
United States General Appraisers. On
the protest of F. H. Shallus, Baltimore,
General Appraiser Waite made the fol-
lowing ruling:

"On the authority of G. A. 6169 (the
Ouwerkerk case), certain rhododendrons,
evergreen seedlings, hollies, etc., were
held dutiable as evergreen seedlings
under paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897,
as claimed by the importers. An item
of azaleas was held to have been prop-
erly classified as such under paragraph
251."

In a protest filed by Jackson & Per-
kins Co., Newark, N. Y., it was claimed
that holly plants, classified as evergreen

or greenhouse stock. Protest was over-
ruled. General Appraiser Waite made
the statement:

"The question involved in this case was
discussed by the Board in G. A. 6169
(the Ouwerkerk case), wherein the con-
clusion was reached that the provision
for evergreen seedlings in paragraph 252
is not restricted to plants of a conifer-
ous nature, but applies to seedlings of all
plants that are 'evergreen' — that is, which
retain their greenness or verdure through-
out the year, as distinguishec^ from those
which are deciduous, or which lose their
foliage every year. The above decision
has been affirmed » by the circuit court
(153 Fed. Rep., 916; T. D. 28183) and
by the circuit court of appeals (T. D.
28953). The holly, according to this dis-
tinction, belongs to the class of evergreen
plants, and it is so characterized by the
Standard aud Century dictionaries.

"The importers also contend that the
word *^seedlings' applies only to plants
*in the seed bed, which have not been
transplanted,' and that the holly plants
in question are not properly classifiable
as seedlings, inasmuch as they have been
'transplanted from the seed bed and
grown on for two seasons.' It was held
by the Board in G. A. 5305 (T. D. 24305)
that the word 'seedling' applies to plants
grown from the seed, as distinguished
from those propagated by cuttings, bud-
ding, or grafting, irrespective of whether
or not they had been transplanted. No
appeal having ever been taken from this
ruling, it will govern in this case."

INJURY FROM CARBOLINIUM.

Will you please let me know whether
Carbolinium, sold by the Carbolinium Co.,
of Milwaukee, is an injury to trees when
applied to the bark? A friend applied
it to sugar and Norway maples, ranging
in size from six to twelve inches in diam-
eter. It was applied last fall and about
ten died this spring and the balance are
dead in the trunks, the bark having
turned brown, and in some instances the
bark has loosened and cracked open, while
the leaves are green as yet. This com-
pany says it is to be applied to the live
trees as a tonic. W. E. N.

yVhile I have never used Carbolinium
and do not know anything of its com-
position, I should imagine from what I
have Tead of it, that while it might be
useful in dressing cuts or wounds on
trees, the application of this, or any
similar substance, to the bark of trees
as a tonic could hardly fail to be in-
jurious. Common sense ought to teach
us that trees cannot be fed by any dress-
ing on the trunks. The roots are what
support the trees, and to benefit the lat-
ter we must feed the former. Perhaps
the Carbolinium company would be will-
ing to give their reasons for advocating
this preparation as a tree tonic.

Vegetable Forcing.

The Bo-called French system of gar-
dening has become so common near Lon-
don that the English horticultural pa-
pers now have special departments de-
voted to its cultural details.

Heney Peitchard, Astoria, N. Y., ex-
hibited cucumbers grown under glass at
the show at the American Institute, New
York city, September 23. He had speci-
mens thirteen inches long and took first
prize.

FORCING RHUBARB.

Perhaps the easiest to force of all
vegetables is rhubarb, but the ease with
which it may be grown, at a time when
it cannot be obtained outdoors, only
makes it more desirable as a subject for
winter forcing. This is especially evi-
dent in view of the well-known fact that
the article produced by artificial means
is far more delicious and' pleasing to the
palate than that coming to perfection
under natural conditions.

Any time after frost sets in, the first
batch of rhubarb roots may be brought
in and placed anywhere in a greenhouse,
on a bench or underneath it, in a heated
cellar or in suitable boxes or tubs. Under
the roots there should be a layer of leaf-
mold or soil, and over them a sufficient
quantity to completely cover them. When
this is done they should be well watered,
and thereafter, until the crop is ready
and cut, they should be kept fairly well
supplied with moisture. ^

In some cases and in some locations it
may be necessary to make provision for
readily getting at the roots needed for
forcing without having to go to the
trouble of digging through frozen ground.
That can be accomplished by digging up
all that will be required for forcing early
in the winter, and placing them where
they will be available from time to time.

If the forcing is done by placing the
roots on a bench, it will be well to erect
some contrivance that will afford some
shade, because thereby there will be more
eatable material and less foliage. M.

IN OKLAHOMA.

We are using the Bordeaux mixture,
applied in the soil, about three gallons to
a space 5x12 feet. Would it be safe
to apply that amount between each crop
of lettuce, to prevent the damp, or
fungus! Or is there danger of getting
too much bluestone in the soil? We are
using solid beds.

We would also like your advice regard-
ing lath sheds, built similar to those used
for growing roses in summer, about seven
feet high, with the laths spaced about
three-fourths of an inch apart on the
sides and roof. Would that kind of shed
be better for growing summer or early
fall crops of letture than the muslin
bedsf Our location is in Oklahoma.

H. & C.

If your beds are spaded thoroughly
and deeply, adding more well-rotted ma-
nure before replanting each time, there
would be little danger of injuring the
roots by getting too much copper sul-
phate in the soil,, at least not until sev-
eral doses had been given. It is, how-
ever, a good plan to change to some other
kind of fungicide frequently. There are
several other remedies or preventives,
such as weak ammonia water, dusting

with lime and sulphur mixed, or fre-
quently with lime alone; boiling water
applied the same as Bordeaux mixture,
sterilizing by steam. Personally, I pre-
fer the boiling water.

A cool temperature and plenty of
fresh air will produce a condition un-
favorable for the fungus, even if all the
germs or spores are not killed by the
various remedies.

I have never heard of growing lettuce
in the slat houses as mentioned, but
think they would be as good as the muslin
houses, possibly better, on account of
being cooler. The lettuce would prob-
ably draw up a trifle taller in such a
house. The slats might be farther apart
for lettuce. Plenty of water will help
to keep the temperature down. H. G.

A LETTUCE AND RADISH HOUSE,

I am building a vegetable house,
16x100, in the south bank in a Wyomiug
city. How should I heat it? Should the
heat be under the bedsf How should I
arrange my beds for lettuce and rad-
ishes? Can they be grown in the same
house? How deep do I want my beds?
Any information you will give me will
be thankfully received, as I do not know
a thing about the business. Can you
tell me where I can get any literature on
the subject? " E. W. 0.

In answer to the above, I would say
that the heating pipes should be under
the benches, and a hot water system
would be the best in this case.

As to the arrangement of the benches,
you can have three, one along each wall
and a wider one in the center, or you
can have two beds of equal width, with
a walk along each wall and another walk
in the midtlle of the house, provided the
eaves are high enough for a walk along

the wall. I would, however, recommend
the former, as by having a bench three
feet wide along each wall and one six
or seven feet wide in the center of the
house, only two walks are necessary.

Lettuce and radishes will do well in the
same house and in the same tempera-
ture, which for both should be between
40 and 50 degrees at night and about
15 degrees warmer in the daytime.

For general purposes a bench six inches
deep is most satisfactory. The house
should be light and have ample heating
equipment. The soil should be soft and
rich. These are the first and most im-
portant points to remember. H. G.

The Market.

With asters and other outdoor stock
practically at an end, last week found
carnations and roses moving finely and
everybody reports a good run of busi-
ness. All stock is improving as time
goes on, and undoubtedly will be much
improved when the weather gets settled,
for the unusual heat which we had until
lately certainly was not beneficial.

Mums in the white and yellow shades
are arriving in small lots and are easily
disposed of. Green goods are about
equal to the demand.

Various Notes*

'Gust Pohl, who built quite an addi-
tion this summer, now has everything
in apple pie order, with stock in good
shape. He is beginning to cut some
snapdragon of good quality.

The C. C. Pollworth Co. is getting
ready to go into business on a much
larger scale, to judge by the new ice-
box, which has a capacity of four times
that of the old one, and the leasing of
new quarters two doors south of the pres-
ent store, which will ■ be used for bulbs
and florists' supplies.

The Holton & Hunkel Co. says the
shipping trade last week was fine and
everything cleaned up well.

Nic Zweifel, at North Milwaukee, has
the grading done preparatory to building
another house, 28x200 feet.

Otto Sylvester, of Oconomowoc, Wis.,
was in town September 26, and says he
had quite a time getting his stock housed
this season.

Co., Philadelphia; Mr. Dietsch, of the

John W. Dunlop, Milwaukee's pioneer
gardener and florist, will celebrate his
ninety-fifth birthday anniversary October
16. On November 1 he will retire as
superintendent of Juneau park, after
thirteen years' service in that position.
He has placed on the market his home-
stead on Marshall street, and will go
with his wife to Wauwatosa, where they
will reside with a daughter. He has
lived in Milwaukee since 1841 and is the
oldest member of the Old Settlers' Club.

follows: Jas. McKellar, I. D. Seibert,
Jake Beichert, Sherman Stephens and
William Metzmaier.

The boys are looking forward to our
next dance, which will be in November,
and no doubt we will give several during
the coming season. The committee is
planning to have something of interest
every meeting night, which will be the
second and fourth Tuesdays of each
month. J. M.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

Business has not improved to any ex-
tent, owing to the lingering summer, ac-
companied by a long-continued dry spell.
This is the forty-sixth day without rain.
Everybody has had considerable funeral
work, but not much else to do. Boses
are plentiful, but good carnations are
scarce.

Ben Kramer says business has been
good with him.

John Elsperraann received a large con-
signment of bulbs from Holland last
week. They have had a good run of
business.

H. Seymour is" cutting large quanti-
ties of carnations of the short to medium
grades, and he finds ready sale for them.

Nellie Goodge says busine.S3 has been
a little slow, but expects it to pick up
soon.

Boyston & Fenton report a good whole-
sale trade for the month on roses.

The Market

Many new faces are seen on the
streets, but not in the stores as yet, and
there is but little gain over the last two
weeks. All kinds of seasonable flowers
are plentiful; in fact, away ahead of the
demand, especially dahlias in dark colors
and Cochet roses, of which thousands are
seen. American Beauties are selling well
and are good. Carnations are finding
ready sale at $1.50 per hundred. Asters
are about over, which is regretted at the
stores. Single violets have made their
appearance, but are poor as yet and
hardly last the day out.

weather was fine, though extremely warm,
and the attendance was about 700 on the
first day. Besides the Baltimore and
local contingent, there were many visitors
from the trade in Philadelphia, New York
and Washington, and all were more than
pleased at the extent, variety and beauty
of the display. In the big packing shed,
which is three stories high, there were
tables running the full length of the
shed, on which was spread an abundant
and tempting array of edibles, and down
the center of the table were enormons
bunches of dahlias of every size, shape

and hue. Under about 400,000 square
feet of glass there are growing more
than 400 varieties of geraniums for stock
purposes. The farm now includes some
300 acres. The party inspected some
bench material which was being treated
with creosote in one of the creosote tanks
which have been erected on Mr. Vincent's
place, as he is a firm believer in the nse
of creosote on all greenhouse material.

What GODFREY ASCHMANN, the Philadelphia Hustler, the great foreseer, has

got to say. He never goes wrong.

»" HE PREDICTS GREAT PROSPERITY I "^«
NOW BEFORE THE DOOR

You will sell everything you have at good
prices. After a hot spell folTowB a cold one; after
rain, sunshine; after a panic, money plentiful,*
and you have got a chance
TO FILL YOUR POCKETS IF YOU WISH

TO DO SO.
ARK YOU PREPARED FOR THE RUSH ?

Brother, think it over; it is high time. When
will you start iu? Now, of course. Waiting
means suicide.

NOT ASLEEP.

We are well prepared to meet all demands.
The Araucaria King means to sell his Araucarias,
and the motto of the moveman means Keep a
Moving. Eighteen years of experience of im-
porting, growing, shipping and handling of Arau-
carias brings us in the foreground of any mer-
chant iu the business; so well known that any
florist from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean can
sing a song of Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias.

A cold snap the latter part of last
week gives promise of good bjy^iness in
the near future. The intense heat of
the first part of the month brought all
the roses out at one time, and, as a re-
sult, now when we need them they are
scarce. Carnations are still short, but
coming in larger quantities every day.
Lilies are still plentiful.

The New Orleans Horticulturists held
an interesting meeting September 17.
Among the instructive and enjoyable
features of the occasion was the exhibi-
tion by J. A. Newsham of orchids
brought back by him from the tropics.
Messrs. C. Eble and H. Papworth gave
an interesting description of their recent
visit to the national convention at
Niagara Falls. The New Orleans Floral
Society sent the Horticulturists $16.95,
the former having decided to disband.
Mr. Newsham resigned as chairman of
the arrangement coifimittee of the flower
show, on account of press of business,
and Mr. Papworth was appointed to suc-
ceed him. The resignation of W. P. Mc-
Lennen was accepted and John Heme, H.
A. Steckler and M. J. Gurthe elected new
members. The Horticulturists voted $5
to the .Diamond Festival.

A Wonderful New Nephrolepis

Nephrolepis Superbissima

Introduction of 1908

We deeire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year.

It is a very "unique and distinct novelty— as distinct froin Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they
were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnse over-
lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact.

It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green-
entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the
fronds never breaking down.

While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of
the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact
growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand
more knocking around than any other fern of this type.

It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant
that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in th^ same class
with the other varieties.

It was awarded a t^irSX^CIflSS wCrTlTlCHTC by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in
London, November, 1907, the plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After
being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class
Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates
In a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities.

We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

GRAND RAPIDS.

The State Fair.

The West Michigan State Fair was
the most successful ever held here, clear-
ing up about $10,000. In the floral de-
partment the exhibitors were Crabb &
Hunter Floral Co., Grand Eapids Floral
Co., Eli Cross, H. Danhoff, Madge A.
Dolan and Lilla V. Kipp, the last a dahlia
specialist from Rockford, Mich.

The floral designs were the finest ever
shown at the West Michigan Fair. So
evenly balanced were Cross's and Crabb
& Hunter's designs that it took the
judges over three hours to decide which
should receive first prize. At last Cross
received first, Crabb & Hunter Floral
Co. second, Grand Eapids Floral Co.
third.

Considering the size and quality of the
work shown, the premiums are believed
to be inadequate and an effort is to be
made next year to have the premiums
on all the cut flower work increased.

Keoeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, 111. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 1, 1908.

Dear Sirs: I wish to write you a few lines concerninfr your No. 2 boiler which we received last
fall. Your boiler proved to be excellent in material and workmanship. It did the work very
nicely last winter with a small amount of coal. Others used up more than a carload while we
used only 15 tons all winter, inciuding what we used in the dwelling. Every one In our neiehbor-
hood has got a Kroeschell boiler. As soon as the other greenhouse men saw it they took a liking to
it and now they've all got one. We speak well of your boiler to all who see it. The Kroeschell is
our favorite if we ever get another. Yours Respectfully.

DO NOT PAINT THE PIPES.

We are thinking of painting the heat-
ing pipes in our new range with linseed
oil or lampblack, but we have been told
that it decreases their heating eflSciency.
Will you please advise us? J. F. C.

. Do not paint your heating pipes. You
will regret it. The main flow through a
potting shed or under, the ridge, of a
house may be given a coat of asphaltum
varnish during the summer, but do not
paint the pipes under the benches or
along walls; rusty pipes are the best
radiators. L. C. C.

, A WRONG USE OF THE TANK.

I wish to know if my house will be
properly heated as I have it piped. It
is 20x36 and is located in eastern Massa-
chusetts. It has a 1%-inch feed pipe
from the boiler and three lines of 1^-
inch pipe on both sides and end. The
flow is direct from the boiler to the tank,
up in the gable. All three lines of 1^4 -
inch pipe are fed from the one 1%-inch
flow that leads from the boiler to the
tank, then down to the throe lines, around
to the boiler, and through one 1%-ineh
pipe into the- boiler.

Now, this tank is c^st-iron, tight and
shaped like a watermelon, with a water
gauge on the we^ end and a regular boil-
er safety valve on the east end. I have a
Walker & Pratt boiler, with a 12-inch
grate and a fire-box twenty-four inches
deep. The question is, will this boiler
work all right with this piping? Every
particle of water goes through this tank.
The tank is half full, allowing for ex-
pansion. Would it be better to pipe
direct from the boiler to the three lines
of pipe, with a small pipe at the high-
est point into a tank, then from the
tank to the lowest return point? I can
heat the water in the tank so that it
will boil and blow off. W. D. B.

What you wish to accomplish is, in
part at least, defeated by the plan used

In a

Position to Know

Gentlemen:

In 1896 I built my first greenhouse, and
every year have made some addition to the
business, until now we have over fifty
thousand feet of glass.

Those who have built their business in
this way, from the cold frame up, usually are
best to judge the merits of a boiler. I can,
therefore, say the two Burnham boilers you
installed for us in 1904 have been most
satisfactory. We gladly recommend your
work. Yours very truly,

in piping. The aim should be to get
the water into the heating pipes as
quickly as possible after it leaves the
boiler. This is best done by carrying
the main flow pipes from the boiler di-
rectly into the radiating pipes. Usually
the hot water is carried from the boiler
in a single pipe to the far end of the
house and then distributed into the re-
quired number of pipes to heat the
house, the number varying according to
the size of the house, its exposure, the

maintain a temperature of 60 degrees in

too, with your present plan one side of

all the water in a main return, gives
every pipe hot water. Your house on
this plan might have one 2% -inch flow
from the boiler to the south end and
sixteen 1%-inch returns on the side walls
or under the benches. The expansion
tank should be placed twelve to thirteen
feet above the highest point in the sys-
tem and connected with the main return
near the boiler by a %-inch pipe. Do
not connect the expansion tank to the
main flow or force the hot water through
a tank, as at present. L. C. C,

A WYOMING VEGETABLE HOUSE.

My hothouse is 16x100 in the clear,
built on a south hillside and intended
for vegetables, such as lettuce and rad-
ishes. , I have about 400 feet of 2-inch
pipe for return coils and also 400 feet
of 1-inch pipe. May I not use it?
Would you put the small pipe in front
or behind? There is no exposure except
the glass and that all slopes one way.

I do not advise the use of 1-inch pipe
for hot water heating in maximum length
runs, which you have. I fear you will
not get good service if you use it. My
plan would be, if possible, to exchange
the 1-inch pipe for 2-inch pipe. You
should have at least seven lines of 2-inch
pipe in this house. Both lots you now
have are not sufficient to pipe the house
by about sixty square feet of radiation.
Four hundred lineal feet of 1-inch pipe
make only 135 square feet of heating
surface, so it is not very economical even
in short runs. L. C. C.

Protection Is Better Than Insurance

The follo^rlnc Item appeared in all the larse dally ne^rapapers of tlie
United States, Sept. 6, 1907 :

"Pleasant Hill, Mo., September 26. 1907 —A boiler exploded early
today in the const rvatoriee of Geo. M. KelloKg, florist, three miles from
here, partially destroyint; the plant and causinK damage estimated at
•75.000.00. Over half of the plant was saved. The conservatoriee are
among the largest in the west."

It wan a steel boiler that exploded and wrought this great loss.

^pitol Boilers are made of cast iron and cannot explode.

With a steel boiler in the greenhou'e, or anywhere else, there is always the
ever-present contingency of ah explosion With the Capitol Boiler there is the
assurance of safety from explosion. Besides the divided sections, the low fuel cost
and ease of operation make the Capitol Boiler demand the florists' consideration.

Let us send you the testimony of successful florists who are usins Capitol
Boilers. Descriptive literature and all Information promptly forwarded.

how to arrange hot water pipes for heat-
ing this house, and the quantity required
to maintain a temperature of 55 degrees
in the coldest weather? In one end I
propose growing bedding plants, and in
the other end carnations in front and
Bweet peas and asparagus along the
back. It gets the Bun the whole day
long, and is warmly built with double
boards. A. P.

My plan for piping such a house as
you have would be to carry a 2-inch riser
from the boiler high over the outside
door in one end. Drop to a point be-
neath the side bench and place five lines
of 2-inch pipe the length of the house;
then combine all into a manifold built
of tees and a close nipple, and carry
a 2-inch return to the boiler. The idea
of carrying the riser high is to make
head room over the door. Then, by
using an expansion tank in the attic
and an air valve on the high point in the
system, all should work well. L. C. C.

CAN SLEEP IN PEACE.

It wUl pay any florist who has no
need for a night man to employ instead
one of the thermostats that ring a bell
whenever the temperature goes too high
or too low. With one of these the
florist can sleep in peace, certain that
he will be called in tima^t things go
awry in the greenhouses. [ Even where a
night man is employed one of these de-
vices is an inexpensive guarantee that
he will not fall asleep or desert his post.
John P. Rupp, Shiremanstown, Pa., put
in one of the Parker thermostats last
winter, and writes that the feeling of
security it gives has been worth a great
deal to him and made him an active
advocate of the device.

A GENERAL PURPOSE HOUSE.

We are about to erect a greenhouse,
which will be 18x35 feet, even-span,
eleven feet to the ridge and five feet to
the eaves, with twenty-four inches of
glass in the sides and glass in both
gables. We wish to grow carnations and
a general line of bedding stock.

Which way would it be best to have
this house runt We prefer to run it
oast and west, but if there would be
any advantage we could run it the other
vay. We shall use raised benches on the
sides, three feet six inches wide, and one
center bench six feet six inches wide. We
wish to have about one-half of the cen-
ter bench raised, the other half to be a

lar kind of boiler, but will probably use
some kind of round or sectional boiler.
Hew n^uch below the greenhouse floor
bhould the boiler be located, an^l wliere
should the expansion tank be located?
Vve exiject to put our boiler in n build-
ing located about six feet from the
greenhouse, and could put the expansion
tank in this building or in the green-
house, M'hichever way is preferable.
Must the tank be located so as not to be
exposed to a freezing temperature?
Here, in northwestern Pennsylvania, the
temperature is sometimes 20 degrees be-
low zero, but only once in a while. We
have zero weather, however, quite fre-
quently. A. E. P.

My preference for general purpose
houses is to run them north and south,
with the head or boiler house at the north
end. Even-span houses get a little more
sunshine when set Korth and south than
in any other position.

For a house th'3 size you mention, I
should say, use hot water by all means,
unless you have gas fuel, so as to regu-
late the fire in a steam plant automati-
cally. You can use l^^-inch or 2-inch
pipe for this house; if you use 2-inch
pipe it will require nine lines, eight
under the benches and one overhead
flow, unless you prefer to place all be-
neath the benches. If li^-inch pipe is
used it will require twelve pipes under
the benches, fed by one 2-iiich flow. In
a hot water plant all valves should be
gate valves. To reduce radiation, place
a valve in each end of the pipes under
the benches which you wish to put out of
commission. This is seldom necessary
with hot water, however, as the tempera-
ture during mild days can be controlled
by firing and by use of the throttle
valve on the main flow.

I would place the boiler eighteen
inches to three or four feet below the
level of the greenhouses. Nothing is
lost by a deep pit. Place the expan-
sion tank in the boiler house or on top
of it, and give protection. I do not like
the idea of a detached boiler house.
You will find your workroom unhandy.

Mr. 'Florist, 'if you once get one of these cutters on your linger you will never
be without it for many times the price. .Iu<t the thing for cuttiiit: your carnations,
sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be both- red wth a knife or follow
the old way ot breaking your Mowers when a Handy Cuttf'r will do the work better

and save you money aLd tiin ? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus luin hui (I eds
of youug shoots daify, simi^ly be''au«e a knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If
you are not entirely satished with it you can rt-turn
it and have your money refunded. These cutters
are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plaied, and
contain a removable blade.

DAYTON, OHIO.

The Trade in September.

Taking it on the whole, business
throughout the month of September has
been fairly good. The month started in
well, but about two weeks afterward
trade took a decided drop and for about
ten days was extremely quiet. After
that period a steady increase was notice-
able, which continued up to the present
time, the demand being fairly good,
while at the same time stock has been
plentiful.

Boses throughout the month have
cropped well; the demand for them has
at no time consumed the supply, and at
the present time they are holding out
well. American Beauties are looking
splendid and there is a good demand for
them. Brides, Maids and Kaiserins are
also looking fine. There have been a
few carnations on the market all the
month and the supply has steadily in-
creased, umtil at present there are some
exceptionally good ones, considering the
time of the year. Asters have been
plentiful, but are now scarce and poor
in quality.

•<The weather during the month of Sep-
tember has been exceedingly hot and
dry, though recently the nights have been
very cool. On September 28 the much
needed rain, which we had wished for so
many weeks, came and the mercury
dropped considerably, making it neces-
sary to fire the boilers in order to keep
the greenhouses at the right tempera-
ture.

Various Notes.

The Dayton Florists' Club, which has
omitted its regular meetings during the
summer months, will meet on the first
Monday of October, at the store of J. F.
Young, on East Fifth street.

Owing to the fact that William Jen-
nings Bryan visited Dayton September
24, Beauties were in good demand, and
Mr. Bryan carried away his share.

Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Lampert, of Xenia,
O., visited the Miami Floral Co. last
week. R. A. B.

WASHINGTON.

Current Comment.

Weddings, dinners, and the steady de-
mand for funeral work have kept things
on the move for the last week, with ev-
erything looking good.

Minder Bros, will commence to cut a
fine lot of lilies this week. Henry Trail,
of Frederick, Md., is cutting some fine
chrysanthemums. His Golden Glow could
not be better. Other early varieties he
is sending in are October Frost, Opah
and Monrovia.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

October 1, 1908.

ERIE, PA.

The Market.

The theater season has opened again
and with it comes the usual hustle in the
floral business. Society folks are grad-
ually returning from their summer homes
and giving more life to the city.

The local florists are furnishing good
roses in Khea Reid, Queen Beatrice, Maid
and Bride. Beauties are also coming on
finely. Carnations are improving in qual-
ity and quantity.

The weather is variable, some days go-
ing back to the temperature of July,
while the nights are almost too cool for
eomfort. Rain is badly needed in this
section. Streams which have not gone
dry for twenty years have dried out this
summer.

Various Notes.

Mrs. A. J. Baur has returned from a
two months' visit with relatives in To-
ledo, O.

The millinery openings are demanding
the attention of the local growers.

Miss Jennie Adams, saleslady for the
Bobb Floral Co., has returned from her
vacation.

Fred Wagner and Kenneth Foster, em-
ployees of the Baur Floral Co., have re-
turned from their vacations.

Miss Elizabeth Moran is spending her
vacation at home with her invalid mother.

B. P.

RACINE, WIS.

The Racine Floral Co., which last
spring purchased the old Fidler prop-
erty, on Asylum avenue, has spent several
thousand dollars in improvements, in-
cluding the erection of four additional
greenhouses, which are now completed.
Two houses are used for carnations and
two for roses. Another house is devoted
to chrysanthemums, geraniums and as-
sorted plants, and still another contains
palms, ferns, tropical plants and .Dutch
bulbs.

The growing and gardening are under
the management of Paul Bork, who for
seven years was superintendent of the
greenhouses at Oak Grove cemetery. La
Crosse. Afterward he was foreman at
John Weiland's greenhouses, in Evanston,
111., and still later was in business for
himself. The firm will give special at-
tention to decorations and this depart-
ment will be under the care of Mrs. E.
Miller, who was for several years in
charge of the decorating at Hotel Pfister.

The company's city office is about ready
for the formal opening.

Baltimore, Md. — Max Hildesheim,
of the Imperial Seed & Plant Co., ar-
rived last week from his European trip
and reports a very stormy passage. His
firm expects large shipments of azaleas,
nursery stock and seeds at an early date.

ADVERTISING

FOR FLORISTS

iSi, NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

The Important letter of G)py.

A study of "copy" and the actual
preparation of advertising matter nat-
urally precedes the broader subject of the
complete campaign. No matter how laage
the space or the circulation you pay for,
or how favorable the rates you secure,
you are not getting your money's worth
if the "copy" (the text matter of the
advertisement) is weak or uninteresting.

Copy must do more than fill space. It
must "pull" business — bring results.

Effective copy is never staid and me-
chanical. It can't be ground out of a
hopper. If it could there would be no
need to study the problem of salesman-
ship on paper. You could just purchase
good copy as easily as good printing.

Ideas Come With Study.

Ketail florists' advertising cannot be
too strong, concise and original.

' ' Original ! ' ' you say. ' ' Yes — but how
can I be original in writing my ads? I
have no originality, and seldom see things
with bright ideas."

This is the feeble excuse ventured by
many florists for the dryness and com-
monplaceness of their advertising. Be
of good cheer. You need not have any
lonesome feeling in this respect, for every
advertising writer and expert this coun-
try ever produced began without the
bump of originality being previously de-
veloped.

The reason is in not being thorough
enough — the "hopper" variety is so
much easier to' produce. Hence its prev-
alence.

Cultivate the habit of goifag into the
subject as deeply as possible, and soon
you will surprise yourself with a multi-
plicity of ideas which have been with
you all the time — but jtist needed a spark
of enthusiasm and interest to bring them
forth.

Get an Outside Viewpoint.

It is not enough for the florist to know
the inside r^cts about his particular
proposition.

Indeed, strange as it may seem, you
may be too close to your own business to
realize its strongest advertising points.

It will pay you to cultivate that valu-
able '{^outside" attitude — the viewpoint
of the disinterested man or woman — your
customer. Don 't look at the subject en-
tirely from your standpoint. Get a little
perspective in your advertising. Put your-
self in the other fellow's place.

Emphasize "you" and "your" in the
copy, not "we" and "our."

Get the "you" habit in writing your
advertising.

It is much more polite — and better
business, too.

Don't Be a G)pyist,

It is well and good to read the adver-
tising of others for suggestions and ideas
— but do not slavishly copy phrases and

ideas that seem to fit your case. In do-
ing this you are sacrificing your own per-
sonality, which is too strong a factor to
entirely disregard. Have initiative.
Search, your proposition for new ideas.
Then express them brightly and with all
the literary skill at your command.

Above all, make your advertising in-
teresting. It must be this or it will never
hit the mark.

How to Go About It.

As far as the actual preparation of
an advertisement is concerned, no fixed
rule can be laid down as to detail of
method. There are as many different

mar, though desirable, are not neces-
sary. Write as you would talk when

WK SHAIX. BE GLAD

ways of doing it as there are successful
advertisement writers.

Probably no two writers go about it in
the same way when they sit down to pre-
pare an advertisement. But experience
has proved the wisdom of certain methods
and has established some general prin-
ciples.

Study every phase of your proposition
thoroughly. Then set down on paper
every talking point that occurs to you.

Omit no fact or argument that might
possibly be used to advantage. With this
list of selling points before you, you
have your material ready.

Regular Insertions Recommended.

The next step is to determine the size
of space to be used.

In deciding this point, remember that
if you haven't an appropriation large
enough to warrant the continuous use of
fairly large space, it is much better to

use a small space regularly and fre-
quently than very large* space spasmod-
ically.

If you are planning to run a complete
series of newspaper advertisements, each
individual advertisement should, if pos-
sible, emphasize a different point, al-
though it is well sometimes to summarize
other points, the theory being that there
are always some readers who have not
seen previous advertisements and who
may not see later ones.

In case of a pure type display adver-
tisement, that is, one in which no draw-
ing or design cut is used, the next thing
is to create a suitable headline for the
ad, which should contain the gist of your ^
story.

Very few persons read through the
copy of all advertisements — but there
are many who see all, or nearly all, of
the prominent headlines.

The Headline Important.

So the wise plan is to state your case
clearly in the headlines. And if this i8_
sufficiently well presented, the ad is
most likely to be read through.

"The meat at the top ' ' — always. It
is just as good a rule for advertisements
as for news items.

By constant practice you will acquire
the knack of telling the whole story in
the headlines and thus get a bigger cir-
culation for your announcement — the
head at the top and the name of the ad-
vertiser at the bottom making in them-
selves a complete advertisement for the
benefit of the nearsighted person and the
cursory reader.

The Text. *^

Having chosen a suitable head, you
have the subject of your advertisement.
Pick out the selling point or points you
wish to develop. Then sit down and
write as fast as the ideas come to you.
Never mind the length, but just get your
ideas down before they take flight.

Give real arguments — good, logical
talk, instead of plain, unsupported state-
ments and meaningless brag.

When you have written yourself out,
rewrite your composition.

Weed out all superfluous words. Con-
dense— boil it down, but not too much.
Never make the mistake of sacrificing
clearness to brevity.

Now rewrite your advertisement, us-
ing the shortest, simplest and strongest
words that come to you.

If you have difficulty in choosing
words, have a synonym book at hand —
and use it.

Short, easy-reading paragraphs are the
best.

There are several reasons why this
pruning process is a good thing. It
saves valuable space, makes easy read-
ing and permits more effective display.

Value of Illustrations.

The importance of good illustrations
should not be overlooked.

In the first place, a good illustration
serves as an eye-catcher.

Then, again, it may increase the * ' pull-
ing" power of the ad fifty per cent —
and possibly present an a^gument in
itself.

A good illustration tells its story at a
glance, a story that is intelligible to
young and old alike, to the educated and
the illiterate.

In this connection it is well to remem-
ber that there must be a direct and close
relation between the illustration and the

■ ~y. :*"¥' s^^ ■^ Jr'-.i

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBBB 8, 1908.' '

subject matter of your text. This rule
is imperative. '

Do noi use an illustration that has ab-
solutely no connection with the rest of
your ad, for the sake of attracting at-
tention alone. It makes a faulty, com-
monplace advertisement and savors of
the sideshow sort. Furthermore, it is
very bad usage and not in keeping with
the dignity of the business. Leave this
practice to those operating fire sales and
* ' mediocre merchandisers, ' '

Use appropriate illustrations or none
at all. A poor illustration is more liable
to distract than attract.

It is not necessary for the advertise-
ment writer to be an artist, but he
should be able to indicate his idea so
that the artist can readily grasp the
same and carry it out effectively.

Uniformity in Style*

The regular use of a trade-mark cut
in your ads is good, because, besides
drawing attention to the notice, it iden-
tifies the advertisement so that even if
it is not always read, an unconscious in-
fluence is exerted upon the mind of the
reading public. It helps build up pres-
tige and good will, which are certainly
valuable assets to any business.

If you adopt and use continuously a
certain distinctive style of type "set
up " in your ads you will gain some valu-

able secondary or indirect advertising.
By creating a style of your own you
really get more than you pay for, be-
cause you get the full benefit of the
cumulative effect of all your preceding
publicity.

An Illustration.

The following illustration will serve
as an example of the plan used in se-
lecting your headline, gathering together
your talking points, writing out your
ideas as they come to you, the "prun-
ing" process and the final reconstruction
of the advertisement.

SEEDS, BULBS AND PLANTS FOR THE
GARDEN.

Spring is here once more. The" grass
is coming through the ground; the buds
are bursting on the trees — everything is
showing signs of new life.

So now is the time to get your plants
in the ground — if you expect good re-
sults.

We have the largest and best stock of
seeds, bulbs and plants in town.

We have the kind that makes success-
ful gardens.

Our seeds are unsurpassed in quality,
being especially grown for us by the
largest growers of good seed in the coun-
try. They never fail to "make good."

If you want the best results you had

better use our kind. We take particular
pride in our stock of plants and bulbs,
which are superior to any that you may
select elsewhere. If you plant ours in
your garden this spring you will surely
have plenty of beautiful flowers.

Our prices are lower than the lowest.
If you want anything for the garden,
remember we have everything that is
worth having.

The above rewritten:

THE CALL OF THE GARDEN.

Feel that first spring tang in the airt

Doesn't it stir you?

Mother earth feels it, too — and bestirs
herself to plan her spring wardrobe.

So now is the time for your garden
to begin. But — the best of soil — the
best of care — the best of luck and the
belt of weather cannot make a success-
ful garden unless the roots, bulbs, seeds
and plants you put in the ground are
live and healthy.

It is upon these essentials, as con-
tained in our garden flowers, that we
base our claim for your patronage this
spring.

If you plant your garden with our
seeds, plants, etc., why — just prepare for
delight all summer. Yes, we have every-
thing for the garden at most moderate
prices.

PLANTING TIME AGAIN.

Once more the arrival of the Dutch
bulbs reminds us that the year is steadily
waning, for the planting of these use-
ful winter and spring flowering subjects .,
is suggestive of fall. Owing to de-
pressed trade, the importations of this
class of bulbs sho'w a decline compared
with a year ago. There will probably be
no serious reduction in the numbers
planted outdoors. There may, in fact, be
an increase, as this branch of bulb cul-
ture is becoming more popular yearly,
but the unremunerative, not to say ruin-
ous, prices prevailing in the flower mar-
kets last winter were discouragin-r to '
all specialists, ^n this line, and it i ' lit-
tle to be wondered at that they cur-
tailed their purchases for the present
season.

We look for more satisfactory prices
the coming winter, as the advance guard
of trade revivalism seems to have ar-
rived. To the retailer who utilizes about
all his output at home, and who brings
his bulbs along in little batches, there
would seem to be no reason for cutting
down the bulb purchases, but specialists
who handle big lots of a few kinds have
to exercise more caution. The growers
who take hol<^ ,of varieties which have
taking shades of color, and which have
not been seen much in the markets,
will fare better than those who per-
sistently cling to a few overdone, old-
time favorites.

Soil for Dutch Bulbs.

The compost for bulbous plants should
have been prepared some weeks ago, as
advised, and if mixed once or twice
should now be in nice condition. If,
perchance, some have omitted the prepa-
ration of it, we would say that fibrous
loam, chopped down, but not too finely,
one part; thoroughly decayed cow ma-
nure or spent hotbed manure, one part,
and leaf-mold and sharp sand, one part,
combined, make a satisfactory mixture
for this class of plants. The loam should
be coarse and never screened. The ma-
nure must not on any account be fresh,
and in potting or boxing the compost
ought never to be pasty. New pots or
pans want a thorough soaking in water
before using.

We often hear the remark that any
old soil will do for bulbs. Do not be-
lieve any such nonsense. Lily of the
valley is about the only forcing subject
which cares naught about the class of
material its roots are in, but valley makes
no new roots before flowering, depend-
ing altogether on the energy stored up
in the pips as received. All the regular
Dutch bulbs make, or should make,
plenty of new roots, so that the compost,
if to their liking, makes a wondrous dif-
ference in their quality.

Varie^es of Tulips and Hyacinths.

Hyacinths, unless for exhibition 'pur-
poses, need not be of the first size. What

are classed as seconds and bedding size
are just what commercial growers need.
The unnamed mixtures of a number of
shades will answer all right for the
country fiorist, but for specialists, who
want one decided color, it is best to buy
named sorts, like Norma, pink; Grandeur
a'Merveille, white,; Marie or Baron Van
Thuyll, blue, and Kobert Steiger, crim-
son. Double varieties are undesirable.
The foregoing sorts are all single.

In tulips. La Eeine still remains the
most widely popular of forcing tulips.
A few others which can be strongly
recommended are: Belle Alliance, Cot-
tage Maid, Kaiserkroon, Proserpine, Yel-
low Prince, Chrysolora, Wouwerman,
Mon Tresor (a splendid yellow for forc-
ing), Rose Grisdelin and Vermilion Bril-
liant, in singles. Among doubles^
Couronne d'Or and Murillo are the best.
A few well-known tulips, which cannot
be recommended for early forcing, are:
Scarlet Pottebakker, White Swan, Couleur
Cardinal, Joost van Vondel, and Royal
Standard.

Varieties of Narcissi.

The French Trumpet Major bulbs will
have been started some weeks ago and
should come in about the new year, a few
even earlier. The best forcing sorts to
depend upon in yellow Trumpets are
Golden Spur and Henry Irving. One
is often sold by the Hollanders for ,the
other. The old double Von Sion, Telamo-
nius plenus, while a somewhat coarse

flower, takes well in the markets. Prin-
ceps is an inexpensive variety, still much
grown; it lacks substance, but is worth
growing where it is desired to give a
good sized bunch for a low price. Other
Trumpet varieties, which sell in a mod-
erate way, are: Emperor, Empress, Vic-
toria and Horsfieldii. Among the me-
dium Trumpet varieties Barri Conspicu-
us, Sir Watkin and Mrs. Langtry are
three of the best. Poeticus and its
early flowering variety, ornatus, can
hardly be left out of any list of de-
sirable forcing narcissi. It is a great
pity that the merits of the medium and
short cupped varieties are not more ap-
preciated in the markets, as they are in
Europe.

Miscellaneous Bulbs.

Tlie English iris is not so good for
forcing as the Spanish varieties. Of the
latter, Chrysolora, Thunderbolt, Louise
and Formosa are a good quartette. These
are always popular at the better class
stores in late winter and early spring.
Gladiolus Colvillei The Bride, and Blush-
ing Bride, Cardinalis, Peach Blossom
and the popular nanus section are all
fine for forcing in flats. Sweet-scented
jonquils, of which Rugulosus and Cam-
pernelle are good, and Polyanthus Nar-
cissus Soleil d'Or and Grand Monarque
are acceptable varieties, especially where
a local retail trade is done. There are
many other Dutch bulbous plants worthy
of culture, but commercially they are of
small importance.

Storing Bulbs*

The question of properly storing bulbs
when once they are in the soil is an im-
portant one. Frequently they are stood
outdoors covered with soil or ashes and
later protected from frost. Good bulbs
can be grown treated thus; for the more
northerly states, however, we have a
decided preference for the protection of
a cellar or frame, the former being
the best. In such a place the flats or
pota will not become saturated with
water in case we get a wet fall, and often
failures in culture are directly traceable
to winter storage in the open. It must,
however, be remembered that bulbs
should never be buried in cinders or soil
iirectly after they have been watered,
"jet this covering stay off for a month

at least, during which time the bulbs will
require one or two additional soakings.
To too little water at the roots in the
early stages of growth are to be at-
tributed not a few failures in bulb cul-
ture.

Plant Early for Forcing;.

There is no time lost yet in planting
bulbs in the open. In fact, the end of
October is early enough for most sections
of the United States, but for forcing it
is important to get the bulbs into the
soil as soon as possible, before they can
lose any of their vitality and d|) that they
can be making roots rather than 'fritter-
ing away their strength in bags or boxes.
If you cannot pot your bulbs at once,
unpack the boxes, loosen the bags and
spread out the contents in flats where
they are as cool as possible. Keep them
away from fire heat. How often do we
see bags left tied up until wanted, with
the result that often when opened the
whole is a network of roots! Therefore,
remem*ber that it will not pay to let
any of your bulbs get into this condi-
tion. Plant early. Water thorougiily
and do not attempt any forcing until you
are sure pots and flats are full of roots.

LORRAINE BEGONIAS.

Can someone give me information as to
what treatment Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine should have, in regard to shade,
temperature and spraying! I have been
told that they should not be sprayed at
all, but fail to see how they can be kept
clean of mealy bug, etc., without spray-
ing them. C. B.

At this stage of growth Lorraine be-
gonias should be in a house kept at 55 to
60 degrees at night. The higher tem-
perature will be better if you want plants
in good shape for Christmas. Move into
a cooler structure when a good number
of flowers have opened. A light shade
will still be necessary. *A heavy shade is
not necessary, and is positively harmful.
The plants require spraying at least once
a day during July and August, but this
now may be discontinued. A hand syringe
or fine sprayer on the hose should be
used. Do not use the full force of the
hose without a spray nozzle, or you will,
break. many shcu^ts.. -If you -still hav^ a
lot of" bugs, use Ti- spray nozzlfi'even now
to clean them. .Iz ' * <^' C. W.

shown in the accompanying illustration
and says that if anyone can make a
bigger show with thirty-six Bride roses
he would like to see the picture of the

bottom of the piece, and quite a little
Asparagus plumosus was workeo in, so
that the finished piece measured five feet
six inches from end to end. With the

addition of the bow of chiffon it looked
like a whole lot for the money when the
customer paid $12 for it. Myers Bros,

SUGGESTIONS FOR WINDOWS.

Leave Room for Imagination.

Upon an anniversary holiday, conven-
tion or some other special occasion it is
usually advisable to put in an appro-
priate window decoration. But the way
in which special occasions are pictured
is sometimes not beyond criticism. In
selecting and executing the emblem il-
lustrative of interesting events or sym-
bolizing certain sentiments, do not try
to cover the whole ground, as it were.
Suppose it is a badge that you propose
to illustrate. If it is intricate do not
try to reproduce the whole thing. Choose
some significant part and work that out
clearly, ignoring minute details. Other-
wise the result would resemble the efforts
of the would-be story-teller who gives
every little detail of dialogue and inci-
dent, leaving nothing to the imagination
of the listener. Have connection rather
a little far-fetched than too evident.
Avoid vagueness, but give some room for
study. Howfever, this point can be better
illusttated than described.

Suppose there is a convention of some
railroad organization in town and you
, M

lettering or inscription. Make the piece
so distinct that signs are not necessary.

** Musical" Windows.

Take another example: Suppose there
is a prominent musical event on. Don't
make a piano. It would be uncouth.
Make a violin or banjo and lay a musical
score beside it. Still better, make the
scoi'e. A scroll of sweet alyssum or
candytuft, with dark chenille or black
immortelles for lines, and single flowers
with their stems for notes, would be a
good representation. Detach the scroll
from the easel and lay it down. Or il-
lustrate some well-known song. Put a
series of them in the window; for in-
stance, the "Eosary. " Some solid flow-
ers fastened on a heavy violet cord would
serve for the beads and the cross could
be attached, and the whole laid on a
background of soft fabric. Announce
your intention of running the series and
give a box of violets or roses as a prize
for the person who guesses the largest
number of names of the songs.

When the fishing season opens, if your
locality affords any special attraction in
that line, use one of the water windows.
Have a quiet pool under some hanging
foliage, a convenient tree-trunk, a group
of gay flowers in the front, some of
which bend over and mirror themselves
in the water, and out through them
thrust a fishing rod and line, but no
fisherman in sight.

Neither in landscape nor water win-
dows should every detail be worked out
minutely. By remembering that there
is much to be crowded into a small space
at best, one's better judgment can easily
(1i (crn what details are encu;nbering.
Don 't continue catchy or sensational sub-
jects too long or offer them too fre-
quently. The really beautiful things keep
attention permanently.

If your city is a center for millinery
jobbing interests, in the fall or spring
season make a hat of some one of the
late extreme styles. Politics, local or
national, afford good opportunities for
suggestive decorations.

In the. landscape class another series
of interesting windows can be attempted
with some extra outdoor work or tactful
borrowing. Announce that you will pic-
ture a number of different birds' nests
and their surroundings. Get hold of the
abandoned nests and a branch of their
favorite trees or bushes. Place each one
in the window as the case requires; if on
the ground, so much the better. When
possible have the eggs and the stuffed
bird also. Bun the series as long as the
different nests are procurable and inter-
est lives. .Have different flowers in each
window, and plenty of them. Complete
the series with a hen's nest in a barrel.
Give a box of flowers or a plant as a
prize to the one who guesses th6 correct
names of the most kinds ' of nests.
Withal, keep flowers and plants always
prominently in view and impress ob-
servers that the other attractions are only
leaders towards the main issue.

WREATH OF GALAX.

The accompanying illustration is a
wreath in the happiest vein of C. H.
Fox, Columbia avenue and Twenty-first
street, Philadelphia. The wreath is made
entirely of galax leaves, while carnations
of one variety are loosely arranged over
one-half the wreath, the flowers being ar-
ranged carelessly, to the best possible
advantage. White is preferable in this
arrangement, but Enchantress may also
be used effectively. Phil.

A PRIZE DESIGN.

The illustration opposite is a re-
production of a photograph of the design
with which Lozier's, of Des Moines, re-
cently secured first premium at the Iowa
State Fair. It is said John T. Temple,
ijiie judge, commented on it as the finest
piece he ever had seen at the fair.

This was a large standing wreath,
made solid with white asters and trimmed
with cattleyas, Killarney roses, Easter
lilies and valley. The large cluster of
valley on one side was especially attract-
ive. The base wfes made of green and
lilies.

WINTERING ALTERNANTHERAS.

Alternanthera in variety is still grown
and sold every spring in large quanti-
ties, in spite of the fact that carpet bed-
ding, so called, is not nearly so piopular
as it once was. Some have considerable
trouble in keeping alternanthera through
the winter. This difficulty is due in part,
perhaps, to the plants being continuously
subjected to too low a temperature, and
the question of how this can be avoided
is a subject that will doubtless be of
some interest to those who have not had
extended experience.

I have of late years taken up out of
the ground outdoors, at about this time
or a little later, plants in numbers fully
sufficient to insure ample stock for prop-
agation. These I usually start early in
February. But what I want to get at is
my method of keeping the plants from
the time they are taken out of the
ground until they are broken up or cut-
tings taken of them. I put the old plants
in flats, cramming as many into a flat as
possible. Until I have all the plants a
flat will contain in placje, only enough

soil to cover the bottom is put in. Then
the plants are sheared hard back and
the refuse carefully swept off. Finally,
as much soil as possible is worked in
among the plants and between them and
the edges of the flats, for their sus-
tenance through the winter.

I have found that by this method the
plants kept much better than plants usu-
ally did when a smaller number were
carefully placed in flats previously filled
with soil.

Another point in favor of the method
of which I now write is that a vastly
larger number, relatively, can be kept in
any given space than by the other
method. Thus, if conditions are at all
favorable to growth, no diflBculty will be
met in getting plenty of cuttings in
early spring, or in late winter if they
are then needed. If propagation is done
by breaking up the wintered stock, that
which has been carried through success-
fully in but a few flats will give mate-
rial enough to work on even when a
great number of plants is required.

A good watering should be given the
plants when put in flats, and thereafter
they should be kept on the dry side until
they are brought into action again. M.

EUHOPEAN NOTES.

Two great horticultural exhibitions
are announced for 1910. In Belgium,
many who took an active part in the
Ghent Quinquennial are in harness again
for an international exhibition in Brus-
sels in 1910. A large and influential
committee has already announced its
progiam.,

Just across the frontier from Belgium,
the Dutch bulb growers are arranging
for a six weeks' show of bulbous flower-
ing plants from the beginning of April
till the middle of May, to be held in
Haarlem. The event is to celebrate the
jubilee of the Dutch Bulb Growers' As-
sociation. It was founded in 1860 with
about 150 members, and is now a strong
society with 2,800 members, a trade
journal of its own and a weekly bulb
market, a committee of arbiters for
dealing with disputes, and a floral com-
mittee for judging novelties at its
shows, held frequently during the flow-
ering season. The Haarlem city council
has granted the picturesquely situated
city park as a site for the show, and
the intention is to lay out a large por-
tion of it as a bulb garden. Haarlem
is always a delightful place to visit in
April and May, and attracts visitors
from all parts of the globe when the
bulbs are in bloom. The floral fete of
1910 is still a long way ahead, but it
is worth making a note of, with a view-
to planning your trip to include it if
possible. From what I know of Haar-
lem and the Hollanders, you will never
regret the visit.

The peony-flowered dahlias introduced
by H. Hornsveld, Baarn, Holland, con-
tinue to increase in popularity, through-
out Germany, England and Holland, as
decorative garden plants. A few of the
varieties are good for cutting for mar-
ket, but it is on the plants that the
flowers are seen to greatest advantage.
Mr. Hornsveld is still busilj engaged in
hybridizing and leaves the distribution
of his novelties to Warnaar & Co., Sas-
senheim, Holland, and Gt. van Waveren
& Kruijff, Sassenheim. The best new
ones that I have noted this season are:
Geishn, a distinct, peculiar orange red
with yellow center, large flowers with
two or three rows of petals; Andrew

Premium 'breath at Iowa State Fair.

Carnegie, salmon pink, shaded bronze,
elegant habit, flowers on stout stems;
Bertha von Suttner, salmon pink, shaded
yellow, flowers very large, compact and
sturdy growth ; Sneewwitjc, or in plain
English Snowwhite, a lovely flower,
which should be in every collection. The
best of previous years' introductions
include H. Hornsveld, Glory of Baarn,
Queen Wilhelmina, King Leopold, Duke
Henry, Queen P]mma, and last, but not
the least important, Germaria, a perfect
gem in the garden. In the course of a
conversation a day or two ago, Mr.
Hornsveld mentioned further surprises
in store for next season.

Belgium growers are experiencing
quite a slump in the prices of Araucaria
excelsa. All sizes up to three feet can
be picked up at probably the lowest
prices on record. Reports are current
in Germany and England that the com-
mon spruce Christmas trees are scarce
and that prices will be high, so it looks
as if the Belgians might clear otf a
larger number of araucaria^ thai,
usual for the Christmas trade. Prices
may stiffen before then and the growers
are devoutly praying that they will,
for present rates are ruinous to them,
although highly favorable to buyers.
Azalea Indica is also fairly plentiful,
and present conditions point to a sur-
plus on hand at the end of the season
in many of the nurseries. The dwarf
growing and free flowering Hexe is an
exception. This is in great demand and
supplies are short.

The reports on the German lily of the

valley cultures are varied. In some
districts the crowns have done well ; in
ethers they have suffered from continu-
ous rains. One grower, near Hamburg,
says that prospects are good, the in-
quiries being equal to those of former
years, with prices firm.

J. C. Schmidt, of Erfurt, has a new
climbing rose of the Wichuraiana type,
said to be of a violet-blue color. Flower
of Fairfield, the everblooming crimson
rambler, is giving a good account of it-
self in several places, and there are
fairly large stocks of it in several of
the nurseries of Boskoop, Holland.

J. Cocker & Sons, Aberdeen. Scotland,
have a sport from Dorothy Perkins, a
most distinct and beautiful shell-pink
flower. At the National Rose Society's
autumn show, in London, this firm car-
ried off the premier pr'zc for the fourth
year in succession.

Horticulture at the Franco-British Ex-
hibition, London, has been quite a fea-
ture, French and English firms combin-
ing to beautify the extensive grounds.
The jury is now at work, but the awards
are not yet known. I hear, however,
(bat J. Carter & Co., London, and Sut-
ton & Sons, Reading, are bracketed for
highest honors.

The old established and extensive
nursery bysiness of Richard Smith &
Co., Limited, Worcester, England, is in
financial difficulties. In addition to an
extensive home trade, they also did an
export business and the head of the firm
made a tour of the United States last
year. Bee.

April and May, and attracts visitors
from all parts of the globe when the
bulbs are in bloom. The floral fete of
1910 is still a long way ahead, but it
is worth making a note of, with a view
to planning your trip to include it if
possible. Prom what I know of Haar-
lem and the Hollanders, you will never
regret the visit.

The peony-flowered dahlias introduced
by H. Hornsveld, Baarn, Holland, con-
tinue to increase in popularity, through-
out Germany, England and Holland, as
decorative garden plants. A few of the
varieties are good for cutting for mar-
ket, but it is on the plants that the
flowers are seen to greatest advantage.
Mr. Hornsveld is still busily engaged in
hy])ridizing and leaves the distribution
of his novelties to Warnaar & (,"o., Sas-
senlu'im, Holland, and Gt. van Waveren
& Kruijff, Sassenheim. The best new-
ones that I have noted this season are:
C!eish;i. a distinct, peculiar orange red
with yellow center, large flowers with
two or three rows of petals; Andrew-

Premium Wreath at Iowa State Fair.

Carnegie, salmon [link, shaded bronze,
elegant habit, flowers on stout stems;
Bertha von Suttner, salmon pink, shaded
yellow, flowers very large, compnct and
sturdy growth; Siieewwitje, or in i:luiii
English Snowwhite, a lovely flower,
which should be in every collection. The
best of previous years' introductions^
include H. Hornsveld, Glory of Baarn,
Queen Wilhelmina, King Leopold, Duke
Henry, Queen Emma, and last, but not
the least important, Genr.ai ia, a | erfect
gem in the garden. In the course of a
conversation a day or two ago, Mr.
Hornsveld nunticned further surprises
in store for next season.

Beltiium growers are experiencing
quite a slump in the prices of Araucaria
excelsa. All sizes up to three feet can
be picked up at probably the lowest
prices on record. Reports are current
in Germany and England that the com-
mon s])ruce Christnms trees are scarce
anil that prices will be high, so it looks
as if the Belgians might clear otf a
larger nu;i:!'tr of arar.ciii-n iliai.
usual for the Christmas trade. Prices
may stifl'en before then and the growers
are devoutly praying that they will,
for ])resciit rates are ruinous to them, .
although highly favorable to biiyers.
Azalea Indica is also fairly plentiful,
and present conditions point to a sur-
))lus on hand at the end of the season
in many of the nurseries. The dwarf
growing and free flowering Hexe is an
exception. This is in great demand and
su})plies are short.

The reports on the German lily of the

valley cultures arc varied. In some
districts the crowns have dnno well; in
ethers they have suffered from continu-
ous rains. One grower, near Hamburg,
siiys that prospects are g(!od, the in-
quiries being equal to those of former
years, with prices firm.

J. C. Schmidt, of Erfurt, has a new
climbing rose of the Wichuraiana type,
said to be of a violet-blue color. Flower
of Fairfield, the everblocniing crimson
nunbler, is giving a good account of it-
self in several places, and there are
fairly large stocks of it in several of
the luirseries of Boskoop, Holland.

TO CARRY OVER TEA ROSES.

"Will you kindly inform me how to
care for tea roses f I have several hun-
dreds I wish to take up and carry over,
to be set out in the spring. I do not
wish to force them during the winter,
but just keep them in good shape for
the spring. F. W. M.

Assuming that these roses are just now
in the bench, they should be well ripened
before lifting. This can easily be done
by withholding or diminishing the sup-
ply pf water until the wood is ripe. Dur-
ing this process, give plenty of air and
do i^t let red spider denude the plants
of their leaves.

Lift the plants carefully, leaving a
goo^ ball of earth on the roots. Store
them in some cold pit or cellar until
spring. They will require periodical in-
spection, so that none of the plants shall
become too dry.

After planting out, when the new
growths are well in sight they can be
pruned. Ribes.

ROSES ON WALLS.

While freely admitting the unsur-
passed beauty of roses when in bloom
and, because of that, their desirability
for planting on rough walls, some people
raise the point that during a great part
of summer they do not fully answer their
purpose as a covering, and that they are
not, of themselves, very decorative in
effect.

To get rid of this objection, Bignonia
radicans, which comes into bloom much
later than most clin;ibing roses, should
be planted on such wills alternately with
the roses. The bignonia has density of
foliage to make up for the lack of it in
the roses, while the flowers of the former
are by no means insignificant or incon-
spicuous. M.

WHITE FLIES AND SCALE.

We are troubled here with some sort
of small white flies. They are numerous
and will cover one all over under trees
or shrubbery. They also make a scale
on the branches. Please advise me how
to get rid of them and also the scale.
They are, of course, in the greenhouse.
I am using tobacco stems by soaking
these in the water and sprinkling with
the water. J. T.

If these white flies have any connec-
tion with the scale insects, which I very
much doubt, they are only males and
cannot do harm to the plants, as they
have no mouths and only live a few

days, their Sole function as perfect in-
sects being to fertilize the females. They
visually emerge early in the season in
the form of minute flies, with the head,
thorax and abdomen distinct and well
formed, two delicate wings, six legs and
usually two slender filaments at the
hinder end of the body.

Artificial scale remedies are many.
Among the most useful are kerosene
emulsion, fir tree oil, whale oil soap, etc.
Any of these, diluted to the proper
strength and applied to the bark with a
stiff brush, will soon clean the plants.

It would have been more satisfactory
had this querist sent a few specimens of
both flies and scale for inspection.

RHEA REID WINS OUT.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,
last week received a cable from Secretary
Forestier, Paris, France, announcing the
awarding of the grand prize, the gold
medal of the municipality, to Rose Rhea

The Dorrance Mildew Machine.

Reid as being the premier variety among
some eighty-four sorts entered for the
international contest.

Last spring the first judging was held
at the Bagatelle gardens, Paris, and at
that time the Hill Co. had another rose.
Admiral Evans, that scored as high as
Reid, but on the second, held last month,
the Rhea Reid rose received such a high
rating that the judges decided it was en-
titled to the grand prize. In the first
judging Lyon -Rose scored ten points,
being the only variety to rank so high.

Franklin, Mass. — M. I, Van Leeu-
wen, of the Continental Nurseries, has
begun work on a new greenhouse, 50x200
feet.

THE MILDEW MACHINE.

If anyone knows mildew, it should be
Benjamin Dorrance, for he has been bat-
tling with it since 1882, and it surely is
of prime interest that he thinks he has
found a means of destroying this great
affliction -of rose plants and therefore of
rose growers. The Dorrance mildew ma-
chine is shown in the accompanying il-
lustration. It has been used at the Dor-
rance rose houses, Dorranceton, Pa., for
five years.

' * Mildew, ' ' says Mr. Dorrance, ' ' is the
bane of plant forcers, whether for flow-
ers or fruit. Being a parasitic fungus,
having as its host the plants of our
greenhouses, its control is one of the
vital problems confronting the grower.
The problem is rather a peculiar one,
since both are plants — death to the one
may mean death to the other. Mildew
yields to the fumes of sulphur, and is
more susceptible than the host. Hence
the question becomes one of getting the
sulphur fumes into the house when, where
and of the strength needed. Three meth-
ods have been used, painting sulphur on
steam pipes; vaporizing it in one of the
various devices, home-made or bought, or
dusting it on the plants themselves.
Painting the pipes is not satisfactory —
the fumes go all through the house, fad-
ing or defacing the blooms; they are in
the house for a long time, and are equally
distributed in all parts, whether needed
or not; steam must be used to start
them. When mildew is rife during the
summer, steam is a detriment. The dif-
ferent vaporizers, ignoring the fact that
sulphur, when heated to the kindling
point, will burst into flame, have in them
a great source of danger, and being sta-
tionary, if they do 'go wrong and take
fire,' much damage is done before they
are discovered or can be put out. When
dusted on the plants it is necessary, to
make the fumes effective, to take off all
ventilation and raise the temperature
greatly.

"Taking all these into consideration,
we worked out a device which makes mil-
dew and its attendant evils for us things
of the past. It is a lantern-like affair
of two compartments. In the upper, the
sulphur is put; in the lower, the lighted
alcohol lamp. When the sulphur begins
to melt, the lamp is put out and the
sulphur lighted. The fumes of the burn-
ing sulphur are given off through .the
many perforations, and the strength
controlled by opening and closing the
door of the sulphur compartment. When
the smell of the burning sulphur is no-
ticeable, we are ready for the fumiga-
tion. We shut the ventilators in the
house and go to and fro in the walks,
swinging the burner as if it were a
censer, until the fumes are distributed
where wanted. Then we carry the
burner outside, set it down, and go back
and open the ventilators. The deed is
done, the mildew killed. We can make
the fumigation strong or light as we
please, all over the house, or simply
where the mildew was. One tablespoon-
ful of sulphur and the same amount of
alcohol will fumigate a house 20x150.
Fifteen minutes will cover the whole
time of fumigation, from the closing of
the ventilat(ys to the opening again.

"It is not a toy, but a device of un-
usual ability to do its own definite work
and do it well. It must be handled as
such, given only into the hands of com-
petent and intelligent men, not weeding
boys and apprentices. Burning sulphur
in a greenhouse is fatal to the stock, but
we ignite our sulphur before we go into

MINNESOTA FLORISTS.

The Twin Cities Florists' and Garden-
ers' Club recently was reorganized as the
Minnesota State Florists' Association
and incorporated under the laws of the
state. The meetings are held on the
third Tuesday of each month at Colum-
bia hall, 1929 University avenue, St. Paul,
at 8 p. m. All persons professionally
engaged in floriculture or horticultur«
are eligible for membership. The an-
nual dues are $.5, payable semi-annually
in advance. The secretary is S. D. Dy-
singer, 20 West Fifth street, St. Paul.

NAME OF BEGONIA.

I have a begonia that is different
from any other that I have ever seen.
I would like to know if it is a freak or
if there is a variety like it. I had a
Beefsteak begonia that threw out one
leaf that was different from the rest and
I made leaf cuttings of it, and now have
three plants true to the leaf I made cut-
tings from. I hardly know how to de-
scribe it. The leaf and growth of plant
are the same as in the Beefsteak, only
the circumference of the leaf is fuzzy
and ruffled. It reminds me of the way I
have seen mother fasten the upper crust

on a pie by taking the dough between
thumb and finger and turning it almost
crosswise of the pie. This ruffiing of the
edge is about one inch in width and is
quite full, making the edge of the leaf
look as if little leaves were growing
crosswise of the big leaf. L. C. B.

The begonia you speak of is quite
sporty and not infrequently gives plants
with variations such as you describe. We
do not know of any named variety of
B. manicata showing just the character-
istics of your sport. C. W.

SEASONABLE ADVICE.

The Unseasonably Warm Weather.

Owing to the weather we have been
having, the grower of violets has had
to exercise unusual care lest he should
later come to sudden grief. The warm
weather and cloudless days, with the
watering and care that you naturally
gave them, caused them to make a lux-
uriant growth, but herein lies the
trouble, unless you took much care to
have the growth properly hardened off
so that the plants did not receive a
sudden check when our unseasonable

weather suddenly left us and the mer-
cury quickly went down.

While water cannot be withheld dur-
ing such hot weather, still it must be
used with great judgment, so that when
a sudden cold spell drops down on us
we will not be caught napping and find
our soil too wet. Such a condition is
more than likely to give the plants a
cheek in growth, and then look out, for you
will be liable to have various troubles
and one of the worst is spot, which will
be quite likely to attack a house at
such a time, and if it does— well, if you
have never seen it work before, you will
be astonished at the rapidity with which
it can clean out a house.

Again, there must be air, and plenty
of it, fresh and pure. Do not be afraid
of your ventilation.

The First Few Blooms.

Of course, about this time you will
begin to have a few blooms, but unless
you have a special demand for them
thus early, you had better keep the buds
picked off and not let the plants go to
blooming for some time yet, as they will
not be of first quality and the plants
will be the better for removing the
blooms until you want them to come
into flower, which will not be much be-
fore the mums are off the floor.

It is the violet grower that always
has to be on the alert, even more than
the grower of any other kind of plants,
lest he be caught when he least expects
it, and dire is the result. It is a con-
stant watch of air, water, sun, ventila-
tion, disease, bugs, etc. Yes, he even
has often to cut his dreams in two at
night to go and look after them.

The Lucky Novice.

Oh, yes, you earn your money and

ought to have more than you do, but
your next-door neighbor sees the flow-
ers, and incidentally smells them, and
straightway thinks you have a little
gold mine, and that he ought to open
a mine, too. So the next year, or per-
haps it was this year, he builds a house
and stocks it, and, like nearly every
novice, he has good luck with them — all
by chance — and the result is there are
two violets now to be sold where before
there was only one, and you get half
the price for your one that you did pre-
viously, as he has to have half of the
money that there is in your place to be
spent for violets. What is the result?

Oh, you both eat shredded wheat and
drink Postum, and one or the other soon
looks for some other flower to grow.
Hard, do I hear you sayt Well, you
ask any grower of several years' ex-
perience and see what he says. If he
does not agree with me, you can lay it
to my sore throat that is with me to-
night.

This was not the strain I was going
to write in tonight, but really there is
more truth than poetry in what I have
said. Violets are a peculiar flower to
grow, and never to be trusted if you
wish to be successful with them. But
more anon. R. E. Shuphelt.

UeCESSFUL PROPAGATION.

In two articles which appeared in the
Review of September 17, one written by
M. M. L. and the other by E. A. Muchow,
on the rooting or propagation of gera-
niums, there were references to remarks
made by me at the Iowa florists' con-
vention at Des Moines, August 26, and
published in the Review of September 3.
As the geranium was not my topic at the
convention, and as my time was limited,
I did not think it necessary to take up
the time of other members. But as Mr.
Muchow has requested a more explana-
tory discussion on this subject, I find it
my duty to answer on a more minute
scale.

As success in the growing of all spe-
cies of plants from cuttings is greatly in
the hands of the operator, where one
fails the others may be successful. And
there are methods which, if strictly car-
ried out, will hold good anywhere. It is
with me immaterial whether I use flats

of soil and sand outside, or all sand in-
side. In either way, I will root from
seventy-five to ninety-five per cent of
geranium cuttings, and sometimes, if
extra care is taken, I get them all. And
in this I am not alone, for all the trouble
with geranium cuttings damping off is
due to water or a leaky roof, or to a
tight bench and lack of drainage.

Geraniums in the field should be
planted far enough apart so that they
will not crowd each other. They ought
to be gone through once or twice during
August, and all the straight, tender
shoots trimmed back. This will cause
them to make more sturdy cuttings later.

If my cuttings are scarce I commence
taking a batch in the last part of
August; that gives me a better batch
the second week of September. Then,
if I am ready two weeks or so later,
I prepare my propagation bench inside
and root them there.

The soil I use for flats outside is a

good fibrous loam, mixed with one-fourth
sharp sand an4r sifted ithrough a one-
fourth-inch sieve.

I fill my flat two and one-half inches
deep and press down tight with a brick.
I dibble the cuttings in two inches apart
each way, after trimming all the large
leaves, so that light and air can work
between them. I then prepare a place
either south or north of a greenhouse or
wall, so that they get the morning sun
and are shaded from the afternoon sun.
I make this place level, put my flats
there side by side, give one good water-
ing and then forget them for ten days.
Put your flats, dry, on the cold, level
ground, and water them thoroughly aft-
erward. The water soaks down through
them, and the earth under the flats will
keep damp until they are rooted. So it
is essential that the roots of all the cut-
tings should go down deeply, to the bot-
tom of the box, and if the weather is
very dry, as it was this fall, it is easy
work to water the ground around your
flats and a little on the leaf. It is also
well to turn the flats around, as the ones
nearer the wall will root first.

You can keep these flats out until
quite late and a cold spell will not hurt
them, unless there is a hard frost, and
from such they can be easily protected.
When you do take them in you will have
large, stout cuttings, and by pinching at
intervals they will make stocky plants
with little trouble. When you are ready
to pot, you can part these plants in
layers from the flats and break the soil
in pieces, by giving a little water before
removing. They will be ready for 3-inch
or 4-inch pots.

This is the plan usedjby nearly all old
country florists, only they do not pot the
cuttings, but bed them out in spring
from the flats and plant them closer to-
gether and slanting.

I submit herewith a photograph of
some geraniums that are rooted. These
cuttings were made August 23 or 24.
I cannot see any misses to speak of;
they are all well rooted.

In greenhouse propagation I lime and
cleanse my bench and put on three inches
of clean, sharp sand, sprinkled and beat
down with a brick. Each two or three

rows of cuttings are watered thoroughly
as I put them in. If the weather is hot
and clear, I spray lightly on the leaves
the first two or three days. That is all
for ten days, and by that time they will
have roots. If on a shady bench, I keep
water away.

Now, if there is any better way dis;-
covered, let us hear it. We are all learn-
ing, but, alas, I am afraid that there are
many of us Episcopalians, for we * ' leave
undone the things that we ought to do,

PHYSOSTEGIA VIRGINICA.

Physostegia Virginica, commonly known
as the Texas heath, is a useful summer
perennial, flowering from the last of
July until September. It is of easy cul-
ture, either by seed or root division, and
florists doing a retail business will find
it useful. For wreath-making it is good
and it makes an attractive vase when
cut with long stems. In Boston it has
gained considerable popularity as a mar-
ket flower. The illustration shows a
wreath and vase exhibited at a recent
show in Boston by the F. W. Fletcher
Co., Auburndale. The variety is P. Vir-
ginica grandiflora, the flowers being
mvLCh larger than in the type.

PROTECTING BIG HYDRANGEAS.

Newport is famous for excellence in
many things horticulturally, and de-
servedly so. The specimen hydrangeas
grown there in the open ground are by
common consent granted to be equal, if
not superior, to the best in any other
locality. These hydrangeas are not taken
indoors for winter protection. That is,
the large specimens, for which the place
is famed, are not. Those grown in tubs
are stored in cellars and storehouses.

These smaller plants of hydrangeas
are admirably adapted for various forms
of decoration, but it must be admitted
that to realize what hydrangeas are at
their best they must be seen growing in
the open ground, undisturbed for years.
It is only when thus grown that such
splendid specimens, many of them stand-
ing eight feet high and crowned glori-
ously with hundreds of flowers of the
bluest of blue, can be expected.

There is a good deal of work connected
with the protection of such plants, but
their prominence as decorative features
makes them well worthy of all the time
given to them.

On approach of frost, every gardener
in Newport who boasts of his hydran-
geas lets other work, be it ever so urg-
ent, stand, and hastens to prepare the
hydrangeas for winter. Thia he com-
mences to do by stripping the plants of
all foliage. Then, if the plants are very
large, but more especially in cases of
specimen plants, the wood is tied se-
curely by means of rope or stout twine,
beginning at the base of each plant and
finishing at the top, so that, when the
work of tying is completed, the plants
have the appearance of conical bundles
of twigs.

Four upright posts are next driven
into the ground, in close proximity to the
plants. To these posts one or more
boards are nailed at the base, and the
space thus enclosed is filled with dry
soil. Then the operation of nailing on
boards and adding soil is repeated until
the plants are completely covered except

Vrcath and Vase of Physostegia Virginica Gx an diflora.

a small space at the top, which also is
covered eventually.

For smaller plants, and for plants
grown in continuous rows, a somewhat
different method is practiced. It con-
sists in tying the wood of one plant
down to that of another, and so on to
the end, then covering the plants with
dry soil to the depth of fifteen or eight-
een inches. The soil used in covering
the plants is usually dug from both sides
of the row of plants to be protected. By
doing this, ditches are made, which add
to the security of the plants by afford-
ing means for the surface water to pass
away from them during a period when
excess of moisture at their roots would
be very injurious. M.

BRITISH NURSERYMEN CONVENE

At Bush Hill Park and Other Places.

A large gathering of British nursery-
men, numbering over 100, assembled dur-
ing last week for the annual conference
of the Horticultural Trades' Association
of Great Britain and Ireland.

This year the time was spent in the
district of London. On the opening day
the party took a train for Bush Hill
Park, the headquarters of Hugh Low &
Co., the morning being occupied in the
glass department, which comprises ten
acres of palms, carnations, pot roses,
vines, figs, etc. Here, also, much interest
was taken in the hardwood plants, known
as "New Holland plants."

The fruit treife and rose department,
of about 100 acres, then received the at-
tention of the visitors. One field, con-
taining trained trees only, caused much
comment, the standard trained forms be-
ing so extensively grown that one won-
dered whence came the demand.

Cordon trained currants and goose-

berries, also standards, proved that there
is a demand for these unusual forms.
Universal regret was expressed that the
new fruit, the Lowberry, figured in the
Gardeners' Chronicle, was past fruit.

The rose which caused so much com-
ment when exhibited at the White City,
the uniquely colored Lyon rose, was in
bloom from plants budded this season.
This variety is a strong grower and the
blooms are of fine form, the color a
blending of Marechal Niel and Killar-
ney.

After lunch at the nurseries, a move
was made to the more distant grounds at
Forty Hill, Enfield, where standard and
pyramid fruit trees and dwarf and stand-
ard roses seemed to occupy the whole
space. Jhe party then proceeded to
Chestnut, on a visit to the Messrs. Paul,
whose collections of choice and rare flow-
ering shrubs took some time to examine.
The roses and fruit trees were then in-
spected. This completed a busy day, and
all were ready for the tea provided by
the Messrs. Paul.

The remaining two days were spent in
useful work in the nurseries of Messrs.
Win. Paul, Rochford and Veitch, the
final visit being paid to Hampton Court.

displayed. The plants were originated
by Frederick H. Stevens, and are the
result of about eleven years of persist-
ent efforts in hybridizing. One of the
varieties is described as a delicate and
perfect lavender, and the other is said
to be a beautiful, waxy white.

SEASONABLE CULTURE.

Feediof.

Great care must be exercised, as the
buds develop, to stop feeding in good
time, so that the flowers will not be
injured. In the first place, shade your
house with a good shading of whitewash
scattered over the glass, as a preventive
against the flowers burning. We always
get, in the early days of October, lovely,
bright weather, with cool nights, running
around the freezing point, and brilliant
sunshine during the day. If the flowers
are soft, this sunshine will melt them
right down. Many times have I seen
flowers utterly spoiled in a day in this
manner, when they have been heavily fed.
The crimson varieties, of course, burn
much more readily than the others, yel-
low suffering the least, and the obvious
lesson from this is, not to feed the red
kinds too much.

Feeding should be stopped on any bud
after it has the outer rows of petals well
showing, if one wishes to be entirely
safe.

^atch the Danger Signals.

There are certain danger signals that
a plant throws out when feeding should
stop, and a grower can be always gov-
erned by them. When the foliage gets
BO brittle that it snaps oflf the stem when
touched, and when the leaf will break
in pieces as it is crushed in the hand,
you can conclude that those plants have
got all the nitrogen that they need and
possibly too much. The same conclusion
can be drawn when one sees the buds
with a slit underneath them, as though
someone had cut the stem across with a
knife. This indicates that the bud is
getting more nourishment than it can
assimilate, and nature steps in and shuts
down on the supply by cutting off half
the feeders. Some kinds are prone to
do this much more than others — always,
it will be observed, strong growers and
rooters, such as Duckham and Clay Frick.
When buds split badly they may be help-
ed by making a perpendicular cut in the
stem close under the bud. This will re-
lieve the pressure and the flower will
finish all right, if feeding be stopped
and the house kept shaded.

The commercial grower who does not
feed his plants has no trouble of this
kind. Neither does he make the money
that the man who takes chances does, as
his flowers are not half the size, and
therefore do not bring the best price.

Ventilation.

When the nights drop to freezing, the
ventilators must be lowered, so that the
temperature in the house will not run
below 45 degrees. It is a mistake to
close up the house entirely, as this causes
the moisture to settle on the expandipg

flowers and another source of damping
is explained.

All through October a crack of air
can be left on the house, with a line of
steam. This will give a dry, buoyant
atmosphere, which is just what is needed.
A temperature of 45 to 50 degrees is
high enough. If it gets over that, more
air can be given.

Crown buds need more heat to develop
than do terminal ones. The latter will
come all right in any temperature above
actual frost, but the crown bud needs
the heat to develop the petals from the
liard lump in the center of the bud. It
is astonishing, even to an old-timer, to
see the lovely flower that develops from
a weird-looking bud, which any man who
did not know would be willing to wager
could never possibly finish.

THAT HOUSE OF MUMS.

I received the Keview this morning
and note the picture of my mum house,
which has certainly come out fine. I
wish you could see it, in reality, now. I
never saw a finer lot of promising buds
than I have at present. I had Mr.
Jenkins over last week and he pro-
nounced it the finest house of mums he
ever saw, without exception. I have a
little over 600 plants and every bud is
coming perfect, so far as I can see at
present. Of the newer varieties Mary
Mason, O. H. Broomhead, l!)onnellan, J.
C. Neill and Moir are doing exceptionally
well, not forgetting Mrs. Norman Davis.
Moir has rather long neck but most tre-
mendous buds, if they will develop prop-
erly. I thank you for putting the pic-
ture in the Eeview and I hope to be
able to reciprocate some time.

OUTDOOR STOCK IN WINTER.

What is the best way in which to keep
mum stock outdoors in a coldframe over
winter, for early spring cuttings, and
how would it be best to strike the cut-
tings? A. V. B.

The way that most growers carry over
the stock plants is in a deep frame. The
stock is set in the soil and, after the
weather begins to get really cold, a light
covering of leaves is scattered over the
plants. This will do until zero weather
begins to loom up, and then the frames
should be covered with straw or other
mats. Give air and light at any time
that outside conditions will permit, and
see that rats or mice do not get any
footing in the frame, or your stock plants
will be minus in the spring.

It should be remembered that it is the
same with the mum as with many other
plants — it is not the actual freezing that
injures the plants so much as the alter-
nate freezing and thawing that ensue
when plants are not properly protected.

In the early spring get the leaves off
in good season, and encourage the stock
to move by letting the frame warm up
on bright days. It will not be long be-
fore a crop of cuttings is available.

Striking the cuttings is simple enough
if one has a propagating bench. Trim
and put in the sand with carnation cut-
lings and treat the same way as carna-
tions and the loss will be inconsiderable.

C. H. Totty.

SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF BUDS.

I send under separate cover a package
of mum buds from plants with 36-inch
stems. Many of the buds do not devel-
op. The cuttings were taken early last
spring from the bench, mostly from root
growth. The soil was good. I did not
feed much, only with some bone meal
and hardwood ashes. I should like some
light on this subject. C. B.

The buds submitted to me were per-
fect in every respect and there is no
reason why they should not develop. I
think the only trouble is that C. B. is in
too much of a hurry and does not know
, much about crOwn buds. The buds sent
me were crowns and these buds take a
long time to develop. I have often seen
eases where terminal buds, taken four
weeks later than the crown, were in
flower ahead of it. The chief reason for
this is that the crown bud has so many
more petals to develop that it takes
much longer to finish.

Of course one can get the bud too
early on some kinds, as few varieties are
like Monrovia or Golden Glow, which de-
velop buds taken as early as July 12, but
an August crown is all right <5n"inany
of the midseason kind. '

C. B. does not say what the variety is,
though the bud looked like Bonnaffon.
jf it is, buds taken early in August will
finish finely. If these buds are not show-
ing any signs of opening by the middle
of October, I should like to see more of
them, accompanied by information as to
the time when the buds were taken, and
as to the variety and where it is growing.

C. H. Totty.

MUMS OUTDOOR.

I am in hopes you can tell me what
is the matter with my chrysanthemums,
grown outdoors in New Orleans, and what
should be done to remedy the trouble.

I have a plot about sixteen feet wide
and 203 feet long. This is divided into
beds made crosswise, three feet wide
and two feet apart. There are three
rows of plants in each bed. The va-
riety is called Eugene Bathenaey and
was originated at Nolt's place here. They
are grown one, two and three stems to a
plant. About the beginning of March
the bed, which is sandy, was well en-
riched with cow manure. The plants

r-^-- ■:

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

were set out about May 15. August 15
I gave each plant about a tablespoonful
of pulverized bone meal. One sack
of 100 pounds was used for this, covering
the whole patch. About three weeks
later I dusted over the beds, around the
roots, one bag of 100 pounds of cotton-
seed meal in its dry state. The plants
are vigorous and about three and one-
half to four feet high. A great many
of the buds are damping off, and some
are at a standstill, not developing. Could
the trouble be remedied? Some of the
plants make no buds. Do you think the
variety is too weak to take up the above
quantity of fertilizers? A. M. A.

I have never grown stock outside in
the locality the correspondent hails from,
but I cannot see that the quantity of
fertilizer he speaks of using could do
any harm to the plants. Possibly some
local florist could diagnose the . case bet-
ter than I, but I would think that the
buds were damping from either night
dews or heavy rainfall. This could be
helped by protecting the buds with sash

laid on a framework, or using a canvas
that could be fixed to roll up and down.
Some of the plants making no buds may
be explained by the points being eaten
out by insects. This is by no means un-
common in greenhouse culture, and I
would think this grower would find that
the explanation, as no variety that I am
acquainted with runs to blind growth
naturally. I have known buds to rot
when the roots were not kept sufficiently
moist in hot weather, but I assume that
the plants in this case have not suffered
in that respect. 0. H. T.

CARNATION NOTES.- VEST.

Early Firing.

Through this section of the country
the warm weather which accompanied the
late drought has made firing unnecessary,
but now that the drought has been broken
the temperature has undergone a great
change. The nights are damp and chilly
and a line or two of pipes in each house
will be necessary to keep the temperature
at the best growing point.

There is, perhaps, no time of the whole
season when the night firing requires;
more skillful handling than it does dur-
ing this month. Especially is this true
if you do not employ a regular night
man, which is the case on a great many
small places. It is almost impossible to
tell with any certainty before midnight
how the thermometer will stand by morn-
ing, and the grower who does not employ
a night man is apt to find his houses
either up to 70 degrees, with the ven-
tilators closed tight and heat around, or
down below 40 degrees, with six inches
of air on and no fire. Either of these is
a bad condition for the plants to be in
and if repeated frequently will have a
serious effect on the winter's crop.

We figure that where a place can pos-
sibly be made to afford a nightrxman,
such a man should be employed/ aiid I
might also add that a good, competent,
conscientious nighf man is about as val-
uable as any man you can have on the

place. If you can find a man who haa
some knowledge oi growing yqji ofe for-
tunate. This knowledge viH f^ajid ^im -
in good stead during thi$;' variable
weather. Any man with averace jbitdji- •
gence and a willingness to heavit; .j^At o^^l
soon be taught to run the plartty^OTuril^:
steady cold weather, but you comdri't
possibly give him sufficient instructions
to handle tjie system to the best advan-
tage during this month. For instance:
To keep up steam all night and to raise
the ventilators away up to keep the tem-
perature down is a waste of fuel, yet we
have often found just that condition.

We make it a rule, when the tempera-
ture in the house drops below 50 degrees
with two inches of air on, to run the
steam around in one pipe in each house
to keep the air moving and keep the
ventilators high enough to keep the tem-
perature where it belongs. Before we
turn on another pipe we close the venti-
lators and then, if one pipe will not hold
it high enough, we turn on a second pipe,
or more, as required.

You will sometimes find during damp,
rainy spells that the temperature will be
high enough, but a pipe will be neces-
sary to keep the atmosphere dry, and the
ventilators will have to be raised perhaps
several inches. So you will use the
steam pipe to control the moisture in the
atmosphere as w-ell as the temperature.

You will find it beneficial to the plants
to have some ventilation on the houses
all the time, except when one pipe will

'rnol'keep the temperature up to the mark.
Do not make the mistake of trying to
slhVii a lot of warmth in the house in
the eveniq^g to keep it warm through
>^.the night. It will do more harm than
^^;good, because, in the first place, it will
^^hot last until morning, and to run the
plants too warm a few hours, only to
chill them off later on, is about as wise
as for a man to step from a Turkish bath
into a refrigerator. When there is no
steam up there ^ould always be ventila-
tion on the bouses.

We find among growers who dp not
grow roses a tendency to put off firing
as long as it can possibly be done. Fre-
quently the temperature is allowed to
drop below 40 degrees before fii:ing is
commenced. While the carnation is more
tolerant of cold thap it is of excessive
heat, yet this is a mistake too often
made. Growers who handle roses, of
course, have no excuse for not having
heat in the carnation houses whenever
necessary.

Vatering.

With the cooler weather and the firing
at night, the watering will come in for
extra attention. The place as a whole
will require far less water than it did
two weeks ago, and yet in spots which
are near heating; pipes the soil will dry
out rapidly and will need to be' hatched
closely. If you put on a mulch last
month you will not be able to tell much
about the condition of the soil by the

H

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

looks of the mulch. It will be necessary
to dig into the soil here and there to
examine it. There will be more danger
of overwatering from now on than from
underwatering. As a rule the carnation,
after it is thoroughly established, likes a
liberal supply of water, but it must not
be overdone.

Watering should also be confined to the
roots, except what is required by way of
syringing. Keep a shafp lookout for red
spider near the steam pipes. The old
adage, "A stitch in time saves nine,"
is well applied here, except that the kill-
ing of one spider might sav& you the
killing of nine million later on, when
conditions are less favorable to the kill-
ing.

When you begin firing drop a pinch of
sulphur on the hot pipe here and there.
This will purify the atmosphere and stop
a dose of leaf spot which may be devel-
oping without your having noticed it. Es-
pecially is this true in ca^e of a rainy
spell. Repeat it about once each week
under normal conditions and oftener if
deemed necessary. Do not overdo it,
however, as the fumes if too strong will
take the brightness from most of the
livelier colored blooms. A. F. J. Baxje.

CARNATION SOCIETY^ UST.

In looking over the list of carnation
names published in the Eeview for Sep-
tember 24, at the instance of the Amer-
ican Carnation Society, I was struck by
its woeful lack of completeness. If this
society has nothing better than that list
to guide it in avoiding duplication of
names, it might as well have nothing.
There are scores of varieties, many of

which were widely disseminated, which
are not named in the list.

It is unfortunate that the list was not
accompanied by some explanation by the
secretary as to its purport, and if any
names were purposely left out, the why
of it. Under the circumstances one can
only assume that it is supposed to be a
complete list of all varieties introduced
to the trade in this country to date. As
such it is surely a failure, to say the
least.

This society should own a list of va-
rieties as complete as it is possible to
make it. Furthermore, it should not only
have the names of the varieties, but a
full, but brief, description, as well as
the name of the raiser and the dissem-
inator (if they are not the same), the
pedigree and the year of introduction.
In fact, it should be a complete author-
ity on carnation nomenclature as far as
this country is concerned. Such a list
would be of inestimable value to the
society in years to come and the sooner
it is compiled the less labor will be re-
quired to get it up; it will be a her-
culean task even now.

Mr. Herr has labored many years for
our society with very meager compensa-
tion, and inasmuch as he is to lay down
the burden of his office at the end of this
'year it would perhaps be asking him too
much to undertake this work, which he
could hardly finish before his time is up.
It would be well, however, for anyone
who may aspire to that office to consider
well the work connected therewith. This
thing must come sooner or later. It will
entail much labor and time and some ex-
pense, but it will be worth the price.

A. F. J. Baub.

OSMUNDA FIBER.

In the orchid notes in the Beview of
October 1, W. N. Craig mentions that
there is nothing better than Osmunda
fiber to pot Cattleya gigas in. My ex-
perience coincides with his exactly, and I
found during my trip to Europe this year
that the much heralded Belgian leaf-
mold has been discarded by the best
■gnvten in England, and they are ac-
tvally importing, at great cost, the Os-
munda root from this country to use in
their oattleya growing. The home-grown
' peat is finer in texture and the plants
do not root in it sis they do in the Os-
munda fiber. This has been one reason
why the English grower has argued in
favor of leaf-mold, not being informed
in regard to the different kinds of peat
as we understand the term here.

If anyone who has a stock of the Os-
munda fiber on his place, and cares to
sell it at a fair price, will advertise his
stock in the Eeview, it will introduce
him to parties with whom he can build
up a profitable business, if he will live
up to Teddy's motto of "A square
deal." C. H. Tottt.

VHITE FLY.

Our pelargoniums are infested with a
little white fly or miller, about the size
of a half-grown green aphis, and with
what appears to be the larvae of this fly
— little, white, egg-like bodies, sticking
to the under side of the leaf. We have
not seen the eggs or larvsB on anything
but pelargoniums, but the flies frequently
light on chrysanthemum and other leaves.
Can you tell us what they are and how
to kill themf This insect is entirely new
to us and we find nothing like it men-
tioned in Scott 's Manual. D. F. C.

The pest which is troubling you is the
white fly, Aleyrodes vaporarionim, which
does an immense amount of damage an-
nually, especially under glass. The little
adult fly has a yellowish body and is
quite lively wl^n disturbed. The eggs
are laid on the under side of the foliage
and the tiny young insects suck the juices
from the leaves, causing them to grad-
ually become brown when badly attacked.
These pests breed rapidly. About six
weeks elapse from the laying of the eggs
until the insects are full-grown. Many

generations will be produced during the
growing of any single crop.

While spraying with cold water, warm
water, soap and water and sundry other
mixtures acts as a partial remedy, there
is no form of fumigation which will ef-
fectually clean out this destructive little
pest but hydrocyanic acid gas. Great care
is necessary in using this fumigant, but
it is now in quite general use; in fact,
on many places all others have been
abandoned. To secure the cubic area of
your house, multiply the length by the
breadth and this again by the average
height. Use stone jars for fumigating.
The acid will speedily eat away any
metal ones.

Procure some cyanide of potassium of
ninety-eight to ninety-nine per cent
strength. Insist on this brand, for the
general run of drug stores carry a gfrade
of fifty per cent strength. This will cost
about 50 cents a pouiid in sealed cans.
Ordinary commercial sulphuric acid is all
right. It will cost 9 to 10 cents per
pound. To kill white fly, we have found
that in a tight house one-half ounce of
cyanide per 1,000 cubic feet, added to
double that weight of sulphuric acid and
left in all night, sufficed. To each 1,000
cubic feet weigh out one ounce water ; add
to this slowly an equal weight of sul-
phuric acid. Pour the latter in slowly, so
that it will not heat much. Wrap the
preparation of cyanide in paper. Drop
this into the liquid and then leave the
house quickly.' Lock the door and allow
no one to enter before morning.

Remember that breathing the fumes
from this gas means a rather speedy
death to humans as well as insects, so on
no account stay around to note the effects
of it, as you might were nicotine being
used. Of course, all ventilators should
be closed tightly and any crevices
stopped. The floors should be dry and
eveniiig should be chosen for the fumiga-
tion. Cool nights are also preferable to
warm ones. One fumigation will destroy
the fly, but the eggs will not be harmed.
To insure the complete killing out of the
pest, therefore, give three successive doses
at intervals of a week.

Gas is really a cheap fumigant and,
once you have tried it and have mastered
the little details pertaining to it, you
will be able to use it on practically every
kind of plant. Allowance, of course, must
always be made for the tightness of the
houses. In loose structures double the
dose named may be necessary. A little
careful experimenting will soon satisfy
you on this point. C. W.

FUCHSIAS.

When is the proper time to rest
fuchsias, and at what time should they
be started f Should they be pruned back
before starting? Give me some knowl-
edge of handling them after starting.

E. G.

Gradually reduce the water supply after
the middle of October. The plants will
soon commence to drop their foUage. Do
not. discontinue the supply entirely, or
the wood will shrivel instead of taking
on a firm, nutty-brown hue. The plants
will winter in any dry atmosphere just
clear of freezing. Do not allow them to
become absolutely dust-dry at the root
or they will die. Treatment similar to
that given hydrangeas will suit them.

In starting the plants, avoid heavy
waterings until they, are breaking freely.
Place them in a warm, moist house, and
spray two or three times a day. Re-

move to cooler quarters when they have
broken freely. The plants should be
headed back before you start them, al-
though some prefer to wait until they
break. A temperature of 48 to 50 de-
grees at night will be ample, once they
are started. Shake out and repot them
as soon as they break. For compost, use
fibrous loam, old hotbed or cow manure

and sand; some well-rotted leaf-mold
may also be added. Keep the plants
carefully pinched and all flowers removed
until three weeks before you want them
in bloom.

Cuttings taken in March will make
excellent plants in 6-inch or 7-inch pots
for September or October blooming.

KEROSENE EMULSION.

"Will you kindly tell me through the
columns of your paper how to make kero-
sene emulsion that will not injure palms
and ferns? I used the following for-
mula, found in Taf t 's ' * Greenhouse Man-
agement": Two ounces soap, one gallon
water, one pint kerosene and dilute six-
teen times. I put this in tub and dipped
palms in it to get rid of scale. I guess
they got. The palms did. L. C. B.

Kerosene emulsion is not a safe rem-
edy to apply to palms and ferns, from
the fact that unless the emulsion is per-
fectly compounded there will be found
some free kerosene, and this oil is bound
to injure the foliage to which it is ap-
plied. I would not advise anyone to use
this preparation on tender plants, but
prefer a solution of whale-oil soap, or
ivory soap, or one of the various tobacco
soaps for this purpose. Lemon oil solu-
tion is also much used for scale upon
palms, and when applied carefully gives
good results. W. H. T.

THE READERS' CORNER.

MenHon Your Ezprets Company.

The \:riter believes that the Keview
would confer a favor on buyers by ad-
vising them to be sure to mention, in all
orders for shipments of stock, what ex-
press company they wish to handle the
goods. In our town we have six differ-
ent express companies, and when we call
up any of them to find out what com-
pany runs through some customer's town
they are not overparticular about telling
us, if it does not happen to be their
company, but they are likely to say,
"We can handle it all right for you."
The result may be that the package will
go over two lines, thus increasing the
cost to the buyer. About one buyer out
of six mentions the express company
when ordering, F. R. Thornton.

wish to know who is responsible for the
loss, the depositor or the bank in which

When a check upon one bank is de-
posited in another the deposit may be
' ' for collection, " or it may be in such
form as to transfer title to the collect- I

ing bank. If the collecting bank owns
the check, having recourse to the de-
positor only as an indorser in case of
non-payment, then a loss in the mails is
a loss of property belonging to the
bank. If the bank takes the paper
merely as an agent for its collection, the
duty of the bank, like that of other
agents, is to use due care and diligence
in making the collection. If the check
is lost in spite of such care, the bank is
not liable; if it is lost through lack of
such care, the bank is liable. To send
a check through the mails is not negli-
gence, in itself, and the bank cannot be
held if all the precautions were taken
for safe delivery or return that a pru-
dent business man takes when he is deal-
ing with his own business.

Club Meeting.

At the first meeting of the Rhode Is-
land Florists' and Gardeners' Club for
the winter season there was a large at-
tendance and much enthusiasm. There
was a general discussion of the trade con-
ditions and the outlook for various crops,
while descriptions of the vacation trips
of the members occupied much time and
furnished much entertainment. It was
voted to inaugurate a series of essays
during the winter, similar to that of last
year, which will furnish trade subjects
for discussion. Eugene McCarron and
Bernard F. Quinn were elected to mem-
bership.

Various Notes.

William C. Young has opened a retail
flower store at 316 Broad street.

William B. Hazard, 112 Westminster
street, has been making a novel and at-
tractive advertising display of dahlias at
his store, by which he has stimulated a
considerable demand for these blooms.
One long counter was covered with white
cotton batting, on which were the numer-
ous varieties of cut blooms of all classes,
and from these the sales were made.
Thousands of blooms were thus disposed
of every day.

Herbert Allen Leach, junior member of
the firm of Michael J. Leach & Son, of
Pawtucket, and Mary Elvira MacAIIen
were married September 24 at the home
oi E. W. Orswell, Pawtucket, Rev. Frank
Appleton ofliciating. While both the con-
tracting parties are well known, the cere-
mony was a quiet one, only the immediate
members of the families being present.
Mr. and Mrs. Leach left for New York
city, where they will remain for several
weeks.

At the seventy-seventh annual fair of
the American Institute, recently held at
New York, George L. Stillman, a West-
erly dahlia grower, received six speciKi
and two second premiums on his exhibi-
tion of dahlias. At the Vermont State
Fair, held at White River Junction a few
days ago, Mr. Stillman took two first
prizes on his exhibit of dahlias.

Charles A. Rieman, Connersville,
Ind., offers special inducements to pur-
chasers, as follows: "With every plant
we give the earth, with every bloom a
scent. ' '

Bank clearings for the whole country,
generally considered the best indication
of business activity, were for September
five per cent ahead of a year ago, the first
increase that has been reported since the
upheaval of last October.

Lyman B. Craw, of the Lord & Burn-
ham Co., says the trade is growing at
such a rate that in his opinion estimates
of the present extent of the field are apt
to be wide of the mark ; no one knows
how big a body of mep are practicing
' ' the art that doth mend nature. ' '

Publications representing some of the
leading industries indicate that orders
are, in many cases, being held back until
after the presidential election and that
October will see a pronounced lull in gen-
eral business revival. One thing in favor
of the florists is that one needs flowers
when he needs them; if to be bought at
all, their purchase will not brook delay.

The European method of propagating
bedding calceolarias is now practiced to
some extent in this country, and with
considerable success. The old-world
method consists of making cuttings from
the plants in the fall and dibbling them
into frames outdoors, sand only being
used for the cuttings to root in. All
that is required is that as much light as
possible be given all through the winter
and that the cuttings be kept from freez-
ing.

The white paper consumed in print-
ing last week's Review weigheci 4,950
Ijounds, or only fifty pounds less than
two and one-half tons. v

The Review would like to receive pe-
riodical news-letters from any city where
it has no regular correspondent. Pref-
erence always will be given to those
contributors who will also keep an eye
open for possible new subscribers.

ViNCA is often recommended as a
ground cover where trees, evergreen or
deciduous, are planted. It answers the
purpose quite well and effectually, but
it is possible that sometimes it does its
work so well that it is the means of the
undoing of the more valuable things
under which it grows, and that because it
covers the ground so completely as to
exclude the air necessary for the well-
being of the trees, besides impoverishing
the soil to such an extent that the trees
are robbed of their legitimate source of
sustenance. English ivy covers more
ground, with more regard to restricted
area for the ramification of roots, than
does tiie vinca, with capabilities for ef-
fect fully equal to the latter.

NORTHERN INDIANA FLORISTS.

A number of florists of the northern
part of Indiana met at North Manches-
ter October 1 and organized the North-
ern Indiana Florists' Association. Wil-
lard W. Dederick, of Warsaw, Ind., was
elected president, and William E. Hand,
of the Argos Eloral & Plant Co., Argos,
Ind., secretary and treasurer.

The membership fee will be 50 cents
for the first twenty-five members.

As all present expressed their inten-
tion of attending the flower show in Chi-
cago, it was decided that the next meet-
ing would be on Thursday at noon, dur-
ing the show.

All members, and all other florists of
northern Indiana wishing to become
members and cooperate with and meet
with us on that date, are requested to
notify the secretary.

OBITUARY.

Alvah A. Eaton.

Alvah A. Eaton, a well-known botahist,
who died at his home in North Easton,
Mass., was born in Seabrook, N. H.,
November 20, 1865. He passed his youth
there, and also taught school five years.
His health then failing, he went to Cali-
fornia for several years, and after his
return he devoted himself assiduously to
botanical pursuits, making original dis-
coveries and becoming a special authority
in ferns and grasses. He wrote much
for botanical magazines and published
several pamphlets.

About six years ago, Oakes Ames, of
North Easton, engaged Mr. Eaton's serv'-
ices, and until his death the botanist was
employed in Mr. Ames' botanical labo-
ratory, his work there being chiefly upon
orchids. Mr. Ames sent him to Florida
Feveral times, where he secured an abun-
dance of valuable specimens.

H. R. Akers.

H. R. Akers, of Chatsworth, N. J., who
for a long time has supplied the trade
with moss and other similar articles, died
suddenly September 7 and his estate is in
the hands of the circuit court, no person
as yet having authority to act on any
business connected with the estate.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

Last week the market passed through
•one of those spasms which periodically
bring joy to the growers while shower-
ing upon the devoted heads of the whole-
salers the protests of buyers who can-
not understand why there should be such
radical changes in prices and no change
whatever in values. When a buyer is
-ordering each day and finds the prices
doubled between shipments, and then
over night doubled again, he is hardly
to be blamed for failure to understand
the situation, but at the same time the
wholesaler is powerless. All last week
there was a stiffening market, and when
it came to Friday and Saturday, the way
carnation prices jumped kept both buyers
and sellers guessing. It really waa to
Lave been expected, but it nevertheless
took a good many people by snrprise.
Every year, when the outdoor stuff passes
off the stage, there is a flurry in the
•carnation market and prices take a jump
-with about every sale. The wholesalers

are helpless in the matter. They much
prefer to maintain a steady price, neither
too high nor too low, as affording their
best opportunity for doing business and
making a profit, but when there comes
a sudden call for stock far in excess
of the supply, values will soar through
the wilfking of the natural law of sup-
ply anoi demand.

Roses last week did not advance to the
extent that carnations went up, but there
was, nevertheless, a pronounced improve-
ment in prices. There now are some
first-class roses, but it still is the fact
that carnations are poor and prices not
in accordance with values. Of course,
there are some really first-class carna-
tions, but the larger part of the receipts
cannot be so classed; the greater part of
the stock is still too short in stem. Kil-
larney and Richmand are the leading
roses and both are fine. Beauty is in
rather better supply than a week ago.
Other varieties are showing the bene-
fit of cooler weather.

There has been a fine sale for chry-
santhemums, of which three colors now
are available. The supply did not in-

crease as rapidly as bad been looked
for and prices have been well maintained.
It is stated that some of the growers
again failed utterly with their early
mums, and anyone in the market can
see that a good deal of stock is poor,
but those who have had fair quality on
their early varieties have done splendidly
with them. It was figured every day
that the morrow would bring a large in-
crease in the supply, and by the middle
of this week this expectation had been
realized; prices weakened.

There are good supplies of valley, and
Easter lilies are to be had, but are
selling well. Violets are much improved,
but not yet in specially good demand.
Cattleyas are more abundant, of good
quality, and sell well, but at lower prices.
Outdoor flowers are practically gone. A
few asters still are seen, but are not of
usable quality.

There has been a good call for strings
of asparagus and smilax for store open-
ings.

The current week opened with a large
bu^i««as[^ but prices just a shade easier

lan on Friday and Saturday. The

prospect was for an easier market, al-
though the strength imparted by the
changed conditions last week may hold
over through the current week.

Club Meeting.

The attendance at the club meetings
has steadily increased since the removal
to the rooms at the Union restaurant,
the social feature being an attraction.
The number present October 1 was the
largest yet and a notable number of ap-
plications for membership were received.
These included: Joseph Kohout, Hins-
dale; Charles Arnold, Des Plaines; Wm.
Mielander, Morton Grove ; Joseph Biever,
W. W. Abrahamson, Henry L. Seitz, Wm.
Arnold, P. L. McKee, Peter Schonsbor,
Gcorf? Collins and Frank Kadlec. Al-
bert T. Iky, Western Springs, and J. F.
Dun.cko, Hitavia, were elected to mem-
bership. C. W. Scott tendered his resig-
nation, as he is now located in New
York.

The balance in the San Francisco fund
was ordered returned pro rata to the
subscribers, except where they have
definitely stated that their portion is to
be turned over to the club's general
fund.

It was voted to have a ladies ' night at
^ early date.

Flower show arrangements were dis-
cussed.

The September Weather.

The meteorological summary for Sep-
tember shows the month was the' warm-
est September since the weather bureau
started keeping records, thirty-eight years
ago. The miean temperature was 71 de-
grees, while normal is 65 degrees. Also,
the rainfall was 2.08 inches, while 3.06

would be normal. There was the unusual
number of twenty-one clear days, only
three cloudy and six partly cloudy. There
was a frost September 29, but not kill-
ing.

Various Notes.

Leonard Kill says he knew, all along,
how it would come out, and that there
isn't the slightest doubt who will win
in the world's series. Peter Eeinberg's
is Cub headquarters, you know.

There will be a meeting of the flower
show reception committee at the Union at
8 p. m., Friday evening, October 9.

As showing the state of general busi-
ness in Chicago, it is interesting to note
that the bank clearings for September
were only 2.2 per cent less than in the
same month of 1907, which was before
the excitement and when business was
on the boom. It is the smallest de-
crease shown in 1908, the largest having
been in May, 13.9 per cent.

F. N. Kenyon, who, as the Zenith
Kustic Mfg. Co., supplies local whole-
salers with birchbark ware, has gotten
out a birchbark canoe in several small
sizes for air plants, that makes a first-
class seller.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. says that
the rose plants at the Coatsworth green-
houses. New Castle, that were thought
to have been injured in the recent fire,
are breaking well from the base and that
they have come out practically without
loss, except the large amount of work
entailed.

A. L. Bandall and family returned

John Sinner says that Sinner Bros,
never had so good prospects as at the
present time.

It is worth while noting that Emi)
BuBttner has no red carnation on his
place, having found that varieties of
otlipr colors pay him better. Neither
has he any early mums this year, as late
varieties have made the most profit. He
says, however, that the late varieties and
midseason sorts appear to be all coming
in together this year. He is cutting a
fine crop of Killarney.

This is the week of the fall openings
on State street. The George Wittbbld

W. E. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, has
added to the equipment what he calls a
Tiolet sink. It is a zinc-lined box about

4x10 feet and only a few inches deep.
A wire net supports the bunches of vio-
lets, leaving only the stems to hang in the
water, which constantly flows through the
sink.

At Muir's two stores, on the south side,
business is reported picking up since
the cooler weather brought people home

The Market

Business in the cut flower market
showed marked improvement last week.
There was no great rush, but consid-
erable work was turned out for open-
ings and for funerals. Some of the
leading retailers say that quite a few
good orders have been placed ahead and
that the outlook for this month is en-
couraging.

The wholesalers say stock has short-
ened up and that prices will go up this
week. There are still plenty of good
roses to be had, especially in white and
pink. Beauties are coming in finely and
have the call over other roses. Carna-
tions are scarce. Enchantress and Bos-
ton Market are among the best. Prices
on these have stiffened up to 3 and 4
cents for the best. Chrysanthemums are
slow in coming in, but more are looked
for this week. Cosmos is selling at $1
per hundred. Good valley can be had
at any time. Smilax is having a good
call, and so are other greens.

Various Notes.

Eggleston, Lexington, Mo., was a visitor.

DETROIT.

The Market

Just before the recent spell of cool,
dark weather struck Detroit, stock was
quite plentiful, but not so now; all kinds
of flowers are scarce. The frost last week
finished what asters were left. Then, with
the advent of more seasonable weather,
came an increased demand. Add to this
a shortening up of the supply of indoor
stock, and you have the answer.

Few mums have been seen so far, but
a few more days of sunshine will bring
them out in large quantities. Carnations
are improving slowly; the stems are get-
ting longer, but they seem weaker,, for
the size of the flowers has also increased
somewhat.

Probably the first southern smilax han-
dled here this season was used by Breit-
meyer's at a wedding decoration Monday,
Oetober 5.

Variotii Notes.

Asman & Dunn are at present cutting
some fine Harrisii lilies.

A Brigji);- Mayor club ha.«^ been prg^-
ized h^re,qthe purpose of ,,wMc,^, is./tf
further the interests of Philipjpirisitni.ejier
for mayor. Most of the florilts^ have al-
ready enrolled.

Schroeter's staff has been on the jump
since fall openings began at the stores.
Besides the decorations for Newcomb 's
large store, for which over 1,500 Beauties

were used this year, in connection with
other stuff, several other stores were dec-
orated.

Robert Rahaley visited the greenhouses
of the growers in Greenfield last week.
Tom Browne expects to have a fine crop
of mums and carnations ready soon. Al-
bert Stahelin's mums look unusually
promising. Fr^nk Holznagle's place was
also visited by Mr. Rahaley. This is one
of the model plants in this vicinity. As
a carnation, rose and chrysanthemum
grower Mr. Holznagle is hard to beat.

The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange
has had to put on extra help to repack
the thousands of ferns being put in cold
storage.

The Kenneth Anderson Co. reports an
exceedingly fine summer trade. While
there has not been so much local building,
they have increased their business
throughout the state.

While in Chicago recently the writer
had the pleasure of being shown through
Wienhoeber's store and greenhouses on
Elm street. This is one of the neatest
places I ever have , seen. The most inter-
esting part of the place was upstairs over
the store. This part of the building was
formerly used by Richard Mansfield as
his living rooms while in Chicago. Wien-
hoeber's now have it fitted out as display
rooms for all kinds of baskets, vases, etc.,
0^ TyJ)ich they carry a big line. H. S.

iiDbnvee, Colo. — The partnership here-

by George Brenkert.

NEVYOHK.

TheMai^et

Refreshing rains, but not enough; a
cold snap, but no frost, and here we
are again with delightful Indian sum-
mer weather. The outdoor flowers are
practically over. Hydrangeas, asters,
gladioli and dahlias have passed, and,
except goldenrod and autumn leaves,
there are no real competitors against the
roses, carnations and chrysanthemums.
Bpfore the end of the week the chrysan-
themum again will be king. Orchids
are in a class by themselves, with gar-
denias.

Roses start the week slowly and prices
wabble. Beauties, with the rest of them,
have found a lower level. There is an
abundance of all varieties, and the com-
njon and mildewed stock is almost worth-
less.

■ Carnations are doing better and grow-
ing piore perfect every day. All the
growers are shipping heavily, and the
quality is fully up to that of any sea-
son at this date.

Violets are going begging at $2.50 per
thousand for the best. It will be a hard
task to boost them to their throne again.

Various Notes.

Next Monday the Florists' Club will
hold its Odpiher meeting. The canna ex-
pert, Antome Wintzer, who will lecture,
deserves a big audience. Will Riekards
will not disappoint the inner man, and
there will undoubtedly be some interest-
ing exhibits. ,p^

at auction last week by Elliott. Among
the heavy buyers were Stumpp, Meyer,
Troy, Trepel and Hanig. Many of the
kentias were fifteen to twenty feet high
and brought as high as $30 each. New
York decorators are certainly well pre-
pared for big weddings in high places.

Cleary's Horticultural Co. is now re-
ceiving its importations purchased by
Ambrose Cleary while in Europe this
summer. These, and great quantities
of evergreens, bulbs, nursery stock and
ferns, are now on exhibition and auction.
Sales continue every Tuesday and Friday,
probably until December.

E. V. Hallock, of Eloral Park, has re-
turned from his summer outing at Mar-
garetsville, in the Catskills.

At Floral Park, Charles E. Allen has
replaced three small houses with a mod-
ern structure, 35x100. His entire plant
is devoted to carnations, which are han-
dled by his brother, W. S. Allen, on
West Twenty-eighth street. The vari-
eties grown are Victory, Enchantress,
Queen, Patten and Lawson. The veteran
father of the Allen boys, now in his
eighty-first year, is hale and hearty.

To I. Hendrickson, of the J. L. Childs
force of managers, I am indebted for an
opportunity to inspect field after field
of gladioli, totaling millions of bulbs
now being dug, sorted, shipped or stored.
Of the hundreds of varieties featured at

the fairs everywhere, America still holds
the center of the stage. Cannas, tuber-
ous begonias and novelties innumerable
are here in endless quantity. The out-
look, Mr. Hendrickson says, was never
better and the season's business com-
pares favorably with any year in the
firm's history. Some idea of the rise
in value of land here may be gathered
from the fact that a plot of twenty-five
acres, which cost Mr. Childs less than
$10,000 three years ago, he lately refused
to sell under $60,000.

C. W. Ward last week returned from
Michigan to the Cottage Gardens. The
new oflice building is complete in every
detail, and the splendidly laid-out ap-
proach to it, with its charming evergreen
hedges and specimens, is worth going
far to see. The greenhouses were not
added to this year, simply because quan-
tum sufiicit, or, in other words, enough
is as good as a feast. The favorites are
Alma Ward, Mrs. Ward, Beacon and
Enchantress. Many seedlings are under
surveillance. John Young has handled
this stock for years. The nursery has
grown until there are few in the coun-
try that excel it. Enormous quantities
of peonies and rhododendrons are culti-
vated, and the stock of silver spruce in
all Fizes is a revelation. Mr. Ward's
lieutenants have demonstrated great man-
agerial ability, and that genial gentle-

man can give his time to his sawmills
and forest preserves with perfect safety.

Anton Schultheis, of College Point,
is sending out his new catalogue. The
new greenhouses are rapidly approaching
completion.

The Growers' Cut Flower Co. has
rented the store at 39 West Twenty-
eighth street, and opened for business
on Wednesday, October 7. The oflScers
are as follows: President, J. Von der
Linden; vice-president, Henry Weston;
secretary, G. Lang; treasurer, F. Kra-
mer; manager, J. J. Coan. Mr. Coan
has had twenty-four years' experience
in every department of the florists' busi-
ness and is well qualified for the posi-
tion which was awarded him from among
twenty-two applicants. Mr. Coan has
during the last two years been manager
for J. King Duer, on Madison avenue.

Samuel Woodrow 's palm store on West
Thirtieth street is filled, and this week
the. big importation of boxwood arrives,
so a plot on upper Broadway has been
secured for safe storage.

Boston has invaded New York, and
Arthur Newman will open a retail store
Saturday, October 10, at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Madison square, a
spot almost as historic as Bunker Hill.

Fibrotta Ware is made of Indurated Fiber — wood pulp, chemically hardened and
compressed. It is far superior to either wood or earthen ware, as it is moulded in one
piece — no hoops necessary — cannot warp and is practically unbreakable.

In plant tubs, rolling stands, saucers and vases, Fibrotta is the ware you should carry,
both for your own use and for your customers. You'll find Fibrotta a real business
builder in this department, as it's infinitely more cleanly, durable and economical than
any other ware you can handle. It comes in either mahogany finish or green enamel.

Ask your jobber to show you Fibrotta or write to us for price list.

The Rising Eastern Market

October has opened auspiciously. The
weather has been glorious — bright, sunny
days, clear, cold nights, just suited for
improving the quaUty of cut flowers.
There has been no frost worth mention-
ing, so that the supply is necessarily
ahead of the demand. The improvement
in business, , both shipping and local, is
shown in the brisk demand for really
choice stock of many varieties. Dahlias
are still the leading flowers. Among dah-
lias Jack Rose has come to the front with
a rush. The splendid crimson flowers are
borne on long, stiff stems, fully three
feet in length, making an ideal dahlia
for cutting. The price for this variety
exceeds listed quotations.

Chrysanthemums have made their ap-
pearance. Monrovia, Golden Glow, Ooto-
ber Frost, •Mrs.'fledrge W. Kalb, Glory of
the Pacific and Polly Rose are the lead-
ing varieties. They are a welcome addi-
tion to the list, and so far are much in
demand for the October weddings.

Asters are still with us, though it is
believed this week yfffl pretty nearly see
the end of the crop. Cosmos is fine and

plentiful in all the colors. Single violets
are improving and doubles have made
their appearance. Lady Hume Campbell
being the variety.

Gardenias are scarce and command
high prices. Cattleyas can be obtained
in quantity, but are being held back for
expected demands.

Carnations have improved immensely
and are now selling briskly in certain
quarters. White has been much scarcer
than colors. Really fancy roses of the
tea and hybrid tea classes have moved up,
but really fancy blooms are scarce. Poor
roses are overabundant. Greens are not
selling well.

There has been a marked demand lo-
cally for yellow and blue, the city colors.
For the former, dahlias and yellow dai-
sies are preferred; for the latter, single
violets and occasionally ageratum and
cornflower. Valley has been selling
briskly.

Nephrolepis Scholezii. Samuel Batchelor
exhibited some well-grown roses.

North Wales.

Eugene Bernheimer said, in his engag-
ing way, that the greenhouses at North
Wales were well worth seeing. And when
Mr. Bernheimer wants you to do a thing,
it is difficult indeed not to do it. So Ben-
jamin Gibbs, Mr. Bernheimer 's right
hand man, was consulted as to the exact
psychological moment for such a visit.
Mr. Gibbs chose the time so well that a
perfect day and a galaxy of floral lights
were there at one and the same time.
David Fuerstenberg, whose creative ge-
nius has made the Florex Gardens ; Henry
C. Geiger, whose painstaking care pre-
vents leakage at the Florex Gardens; Eu-
gene Bernheimer, whose energy and en-
thusiasm puts life into the Florex Gar-
dens; George Samtman, under whose
knowledge and skill the plants thrive at
the Florex Gardens, all were there. Each
vied with the other in courtesy and in
willingness to discuss the hundred and
one points of interest.

The Florex Gardens have vastly im-
proved since the incipient stage of a year
and a quarter ago; additional buildings
have been put up, grounds laid out, rub-
bish cleared away, new glass added; in
fact, everything has been done that could
be done to put the place in first-class
condition. The Florex Gardens today
consist of the mammoth house so well
known, containing 45,000 American
Beauty rose plants, one-half in solid beds
(these are in their second year), the other
half young plants in benches; and two
houses of smaller dimensions, partitioned
in the middle, one and a half planted in
carnations, the remaining half in Beauties,
increasing the total number of the queen
of roses to 47,000. The Beauties, Mr.
Samtman said, were far finer than at this
time last year ; the plants showed remark-
able vigor throughout the summer and
are now of good size, well set with buds,;

The ro6f of the mammoth house harf
been repainted. The carnations were a
thrifty looking lot of indoor-grown stock.
White, soft pink, bright pink and scarlet
were represented by White Perfection,
Enchantress, Winsor and Beacon respect-

grown in a limited way. An interesting
batch of seedlings showed vigor.

The greenhouses are heated by three
marine boilers. The fourth will be added
this month. The experience of the past
season, Mr. Samtman said, enabled them
to keep the temperature even throughout
the mammoth house without difficulty. A
tidy potting shed adjoins the carnation
range and next to it a shed for tools and
fertilizers, which is a model in its way.
A place for everything and everything in
its place; wood ashes, bone, blood, shov-
els, each had its bin or rack, no rubbish
anywhere. The office building, facing the
railroad station, expresses substantial
business comfort. It is of brick, with
wide doorway reached by stone steps;
offices, packing-room, cooling-room, every
detail carefully planned and executed.
From this building Beauties and carna-
tions daily start on their way to flower
buyers in nearly all the principal cities
of the east.

Variofis Notes.

Samuel S. Pennock has returned from
the south.

G. E. Clark, Scranton, Pa., was here
a few days ago.

Robert A. Craig, the popular treasurer
of the Robert Craig Co., was married to
Miss Freeman, of New York, October 3.
Mr. and Mrs. Craig will reside at Forty-
ninth and Market streets on their return
from their honeymoon.

Lilley & Upton, wholesale florists, will
open for business October 12 at 1514
Sansom street. They have a neat, roomy
basement, resembling the typical New
York commission house, and are spending
this week getting it in shape.

Mr. and Mrs. William Swayne will cel-
ebrate the twentieth anniversary of their
wedding October 10 at their home, Ken-
nett Square, Pa.

John Stephenson, of Oak Lane, Pa.,
has been sending some Mrs. Jardine roses
showing magnificent culture to W. E. Mc-
Kissick. The flowers are a little in ad-
Tance of anything seen in this market so
far.

Martin Reukauf has returned to this

The Market

At last some slight betterment in mar-
ket conditions is noticeable. There is
a perceptible falling off in supplies of
outdoor flowers, killing frost on the morn-
ing of October 3 finishing tender plants
in many places. Roses are still selling
abnormally low for the season. Beau-
ties clean out well, but most other va-
rieties are sluggish. With street fakers
offering nice Brides and Maids at 10
cents per dozen, an idea of prevailing
prices can be formed. Killarney is com-
ing of good quality and Richmond also
is improving in size and length of stem.
Carnations are selling only moderately
well, but should improve now that the
aster avalanche is nearing its end. The
violets seen are mostly singleybut are
ii;ot in much demand yet. Chrysanthe-
mums are chiefly Golden Glow, Monro-
via and Marquis de Montmort. Polly
Rose and Glory of Pacific also appeared
this week from several growers. These
sell fairly well, better than the mid-
season sorts are likely to a month hence.

vaae of White Killarney shown by Waban
Conservatories through their agent, W.
W. Hathaway, secured a first-class cer-
tificate. Tarquhar & Co. had a big and
unique dahlia display. Some of the lead-
ing dahlia prize winners were: J. K.
Alexander, Mrs. H. A. Jahn, W. D. Hath-
away, F. L. Tinkham, George H. Walker
and many others. There were no less
than sixteen entries for display of cactus
varieties and nearly as many in the
other dahlia classes.

The mean temperature for September
in Boston was 66 degrees, against an
average for thirty years of 63 degrees.
The rainfall was only .68 of an inch; a
year ago we had 7.63. inches. There
were thirteen clear days, ten cloudy and
seven partly cloudy.

Farquhar & Co. report bulb trade as
ahead of last year. They bought heavily,
but orders coming in promise to soon ex-
haust the stock. The late killing frost
has stimulated buying.

Galvin's window displays of dahlias
from W. W. Rawson & Co. have been
attractive and instructive for some time
past.

F. J. Dolansky is marketing some fine

■Monrovia chrysanthemums. He also has

a good line of ficus and other foliage

plants, in charge of Thomas Pegler, at

the Park Street market.

There will be no contest now over
the will of the late W. W. Rawson. The
prospective fight of grandchildren has
been dropped, Herbert W. Rawson being
appointed trustee of their estate.

VERBENAS AS MARKET PLANTS.

It is remarkable how well Verbena Miss
Willmott has been received by the flo-
rists and decorators, says a writer in the
Horticultural Advertiser (English). We
hear of improved varieties, such as Kew
,Pink, The King, etc., but in the market
they all sold as ' ' Willmotts. ' ' Most grow-

ers are careful in selecting stock, and
some have a decided improvement, yet I
have noted some of a pale shade of color.
Here we again see the advantage of care-
ful selection. Culture also makes a great
difference. Verbenas must have all the
light possible, also plenty of top air, but
they do not like a cold draught passing
between them. They do best on a cool,
moist bottom, with light and a little
warmth above. For early flowering sev-
eral plants may be grown together in
each pot, and these come into flower much
sooner than those which have to be
stopped several times to get good, bushy
plants. Manure water may be used freely.
Some growers have tried various other

AHIBICAIf SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION.

PrcB.. Watson S. Woodrufl, Orange, Conn.;
First Vlce-pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.;
Seo'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland.

The first new corn arrived at Chicago
October 5.

H. W. BucKBEE, Rockford, had an ex-
hibit at the Illinois State Fair at Spring-
field last week and was awarded first
premium on seeds, also a diploma.

The anticipated contest over the will
of the late W. W. Eawson, Boston, will
not materialize. H. W. Rawson has been
appointed trustee for the interests of
the grandchildren.

The corn crop, for seed purposes, is
quite a way ahead of early estimates and
being helped by every day of good
weather. September was an unusually
favorable month in the western district.

It is figured that the planters have
heard enough of the sliortage of seed
crops so that the best orders for 1909
will come early this year, and catalogue
houses are hastening the completion of
their books.

At Chicago, October 6, October tim-
othy seed sold at $3.50 and the tone of
the market was a shade firmer. Country
lots were quoted $2.25 to $3.40. Clover
seed was 10 cents lower; October, $9,
and cash seed, ^7.50 to $9. At Toledo
clover was, cash, $5.47 V.-; October, $5.45;
December, $5.52yo; March, $5.65.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. say the crops
of their new Spencer sweet peas have
turned out quite a little bit shorter than
they estimated, and they hardly think
now that they are going to be able to
offer these to the American trade, as or-
ders from abroad are coming in so fast
that it looks as if they will shortly be
obliged to report "sold out" on all
three new Spencers.

It is reported that the dry weather
at Rocky Ford, Colo., injured the stand
and cut the crop materially short, but
the late rains improved the crop. A
large portion of the best cantaloupes has
been saved for seed. Dr. Van Buskirk
is one of a number of growers who save
seed and sell direct to planters all over
the country through advertising in farm
papers. D. V. Burrell, who grows for
the trade, increased his acreage this
year.

Visited Chicago: John Michie, with
H. W. Buckbee, Rockford, 111.; Mr. Cur-
rie, of Currie Bros., Milwaukee.

In the fire which recently destroyed the
Henry Mayer building, in Erie, Pa., the
E. E. Thielman Seed Co. suffered a loss
of $10,000.

The success which has attended the
growing of onion seed in certain localities
in the vicinity of Chicago and in Ohio
this year will be likely to result in a
larger acreage next season.

There is a difference of opinion on
the catalogue policy for 1909. Some
houses feel tliat seeds will sell them-
selves, in a measure, next year and that
the expense for catalogues can be cut
down, while others recall that it was
the consen us of opinion at the Seed Trade
convention that the effects of a panic
are apparent in the seed trade the sec-
ond and third year, and are preparing
to go out after a larger share of the
business available.

It always is a question if seed sup-
jdies will be as short as crop reports
would indicate — it not infrequently hap-
l)en8 that good lots of scarce items are
on offer late in the season. Onion, as a
result of good yield, appears rather more
plentiful than the limited acreage had at
first indicated, but all offerings of stand-
ard varieties are promptly taken up.
A'ine seeds will be short, peas also, and
it hardly can be said of any item that
iin abundant crop is available. But
there will be seeds for sale, of course.

CALIFORNIA SEED CROPS.

A. J. Pieters, writing at HoUister, Cal.,
September 30, had the following to say
of conditions in the seed-growing dis-
trict :

' ' Seed crops are pretty well cleaned
up for this season and the growers know
where they stand on the matter of deliv-
eries. I presume we are as late a.s any,
this section being rather cooler than the
main body of the Santa Clara valley,
and so we do not get our crops off
quite as early. We are through with
the threshing, however, except carrot, the
threshing of which is in progress.

' ' In regard to the yield, this has been
fair to good. "Wc have been much 'ms^'-'
appointed in the yield of lettuce, sofh^
varieties being attacked by a disease
which caused considerable damage. Onion
promises well, or, rather, we should say,
has turned out wejlj^jpince practically all
is now cleaned. There will, we under-

stand, be some short deliveries, but, gen-
erally, the crop has turned out a good
average, so that full deliveries should be
the rule.

"Sweet peas have turned out rather
below our previous estimates, as a hot
wind, that came as the peas were nearly
ripe, caused many seeds to be shrunken,
and to get a good sample we have to
blow out a great deal of slightly shrunken
seed.

"At present we are, of course, get-
ting ready for another year's work. The
onion bulbs so far received by the grow-
ers generally seem to be of fine quality
and there will be enough of the standard
sorts to plant a reasonable acreage. We
do not look for the prices for the 1909
crop that have prevailed during the last
two years. It is to be hoped, however,
that prices will be reasonable and will re-
main so, as that is to the advantage of
both grower and dealer.

"It is to be presumed that the usual
acreage of annual crops will be put in
and, of course, there is nothing to be
said about them at present. The writer
feels impelled, though, to wonder why
contracts for the annuals are not placed
earlier than is the practice at present.
The growers here must plant radish and
sweet peas very early in order to insure
a crop, and it would seem that the earlier
orders are in the better chance the deal-
er has for full delivery."

ONION SETS AT LOUISVILLE.

From Louisville, Ky., comes the report
that onion set growers and shippers now
agree that the crop of onion sets as a
whole produced there this season is un-
doubtedly ten to twenty per cent short.
Some of the big growers hold to the
opinion that the shortage, compared with
last year, is even greater and there is
no question but the white variety is a
third less than in 1907.

The growers are holding their supplies
pretty generally, which has had a tend-
ency to curtail heavy shipments. Big
buyers are seeking other markets. Even
one of the large operators there last week
bought a big block of sets in another
section to cover future delivery orders.

Prices have ruled high all season, but
are beginning to moderate somewhat
and there is indication of a weaker feel-
ing, particularly among the dealers. Some
' I of the big shippers have quit buying
there except in a small way to fill im-
mediate orders. Storage holdings in the
hands of nearly all the operators are
light. H. R. Whiteside is heavy in the
(leal again this year and has a large sup-

time last season.

BRASLArra BRANCH OUT.

Palo Alto, Cal. — The Braslan Seed
Growers' Co., of San Jose, has decided
to extend the scope of its operations by
coming to Palo Alto with a portion of
the enterprise. A tract of 800 acres,
known as the Sweeny property, lying be-
tween the Flood place and Ravenswood,
has been leased by this company for a
five-year period, and the entire tract will
be cultivated. A force of forty men is
already &t work cleaning up the property
and getting ready for active operations.
There are homestead buildings in good
condition which will meet all present re-
quirements without erecting other struc-
tures.

C. P. Braslan, the president of the
company, has spent several days here
completing arrangements. He states that
the Sweeny tract will be' devoted to the
growing of onions, lettuce, beet and
flower seeds, with sweet pea seeds as a
specialty. The land is well adapted to
seed growing, being the rich alluvial land
along the bay shore. The tract lies about
a mile northeast of Palo Alto.

ASSIGNEE HENRY'S GOOD WORK

The affairs of the old firm of Clucas &
Boddington Co., New York, were closed
up September 30, so satisfactorily that
Franlj H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, who
was the assignee, is well entitled to the
little boost he gives himself in his final
report to the creditors, as follows:

"As assignee for the benefit of cred-
itors of the Clucas & Boddington Co.,
I send you herewith inclosed check to
your order in payment of the sum
awarded to you by the court, the same
being the final dividend of 15% per cent
of your claim against the above com-
pany. With the payment of this divi-
dend, you have received in the aggregate
30% per cent of ypur claim.

"While I have accounted to the court
in detail for all moneys received and
disbursed by me, as assignee, and have
had my accounts in all respects ap-
proved, I know that the creditors have
not taken the time to examine them, and
hence take this opportunity of giving
them a brief summary of my acts as
assignee of the estate.

"I was made assignee September 7,
1905, and at once took possession of the
assets, which consisted of outstanding
accounts (most of which were of doubt-
ful worthy, a small quantity of seeds
and bulbs, a few articles of ofl5ce furni-
ture, and thirty acjps of land at Sparkill,

N. Y., where the company had carried
on its nursery.

' ' The above real estate had growing
upon it plants, shrubs and trees, which
were appraised at $2,250. The greater
portion of this growing stock, however,
in order to be preserved during the ap-
proaching winter, had to be kept in hot-
houses under artificial temperature at a
considerable expense. TTie real estate
and the nursery stock growing upon it
were covered by a first and second mort-
gage aggregating $7,575, the interest on
which and also the taxes of $150 were in
arrears. As the land was threatened
with foreclosure, and as a considerable
expense would necessarily be incurred in
caring for the nursery stock during the
winter, I took immediate steps to realize
on these assets, and by constant effort
succeeded in selling them and realized
for the estate the sum of $4,207.68.

* ' While the actual value of the entire
assets of the estate at a fair valuation,
as shown by the inventory and schedules
filed in court, was $4,542.32, the total
sum realized by me amounted to the sum
of $9,169.16. The amount paid by me

since early in May, only light showers
and not many of them during June, July
and the fore part of August, and none
since. A success or partial failure was
never more plainly demonstrated than in
the selection of ground this season for
the culture of gladioli. I selected low
swamp ground, only two to three feet to
water, and used a fertilizer, potash, at
the rate of 1,800 pounds to the acre, in
the furrow, and had great success, as I
marketed over 30,000 spikes during July

last year for just as good spikes. AH
this when you hear the cry of hard times
so^ much. I had a few thousand bulbs
in' my garden, which is upland, and al-
though I watered and cultivated them
many times I was not able to cut a good
spike after July 20, and the bulbs are
not nearly so large as those in the low

ERFURT SEED AND PLANT TRADE.

. .. <v ui and Management.

Writing from Weimar, Consul Will L.
Lowrie. says that Erfurt, ,a thriving
commercial city of southern Prussia, with
more than 100,000 inhabitants, is known
throughout Germany as the "flower
city." It has a world-wide reputation
for flower and farm seeds and plants,
the trade in which the consul portrays
as follows:

"The declared exports of these prod-
ucts to the United States in the last ten
years amount to $561,741, last year's
shipments being worth $53,888.

"The origin of the industry dates
from the tenth century, and it was de-
veloped by the monks of the Peters mon-
astery. The growth to the present large
proportions is of much more recent date.
Since 1880 the business of producing
flower and garden seeds and plants in
Erfurt has increased rapidly, until it is
now five times as large as it was a quar-
ter of a century ago. When the land
failed to produce good wine grapes, the
people turned their attention to the seed
industry as a means of saving their
waning fortunes. In former years the
hills about Erfurt and Jena were famous
for their vineyards. The wine was sold
mostly at Weimar, about halfway be-
tween those two cities, giving this place
its original name of 'Weinmarkt,'
which was changed later to Weimar.

Extent of Industty.

"The soil about Erfurt is especially
adapted to the culture of vegetables and
plants. It is deep, rich, and well wa-
tered. The annual rainfall is heavy, and
the surrounding hills afford good protec-
tion from the cool winds which sometimes
sweep down from the Thuringerwald.
There are 108 concerns engaged in the
seed industry, also thirty-five seed ex-

' * About 2,000 acres of land in the city
and the immediate vicinity are devoted
to gardens. This land is owned by the
Crown, the city and private individuals.
It is leased to the various concerns at
rentals depending on the location and on
the productiveness of the soil. Owing to
the rapid growth of the city, which rivals
the percentage of a western "boom"
town in the United States, quite an area
of the best garden land has been plotted
into city lots and is fast being covered
with fine villas and houses.

Varieties Grown.

"The cultivation of the gillyflower in
Erfurt dates from 1810. It first ap-
peared in the window of a citizen, and
from this one pot hundreds of thousands
of these flowers have been propagated.
The estimated annual production is 680,-
000 plants. To the same extent, or
nearly so, is the cultivation of the cal-
ceolaria, verbena, petunia, gloxinia, zin-
nia, pansy, carnation, balsam, phlox, hol-
lyhock, pelargonium, fuchsia, azalea, etc.,
in almost endless variety. It is esti-
mated that the annual output of flower
seeds is not much under 1,000,000 marks
or $238,000.

* * Vegetable and farm seeds are culti-
vated in large quantities and in great
variety. Among them are included 101
kinds of peas, 168 of beans (700 bushels
were shipped this year to Boston to help
make up the deficit in its staple food),
269 varieties of kitchen herbs, thirty-
eight kinds of radishes and thirty of
other roots, thirty-four of onions, etc.,
sixty-five of grass for fodder, thirty of
clover, 320 species of potatoes. There are
1,542 varieties of vegetable seed culti-
vated in Erfurt."

PEDIGREED COTTON SEED.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has issued, as Farmers' Bulletin No. 333,
by W. A. Orton, an account of the work
in breeding cotton to resist the wilt
which, under various names, affects the
cotton crops over large areas. The bul-
letin concludes:

* * The question of distributing wilt-
resistant seed in such a way that all sec-
tions may receive benefit from the work
of the Bureau of Plant Industry is an
important one. It is evidently out of
the question for the Department of Agri-
culture to send seed to all who need it in
suflicient quantity to plant their crops.
The only solution of the difficulty is to
encourage local breeders to grow and
offer seed for sale.

' ' To this end the Department of Agri-
culture has begun to send out seed to
men who have been ascertained by pre-
vious correspondence to have wilt-infected
land and to be willing to care for the
seed. The quantity given to each is one-
half bushel, enough so that if planted
with care at least a bale of cotton can
be raised; then this cotton can be taken
to the gin and the seed saved free from
mixture with other kinds.

"Those receiving this wilt-resistant
seed are expected to heed the advice
given in this bulletin to keep the seed
pure and sell to their neighbors. At the
present time this wilt-resistant cotton is
included in the congressional distribution
ot seeds by the Department of Agricul*
ture, so that farmers desiring to obtain
it should make application through their
member of congress. The quantity avail-
able for each congressional district will
be quite limited."

The Market.

The sesquicentennial week in this city
was one continuous round of excitement.
The city probably never saw greater
crowds. However, besides losing one
whole day's business on the day of the
parade, the whole week's business was
interfered with. With the exception of
a few receptions given for some of the
more important visitors, the trade did not
receive any immediate benefit.

The general business continues to im-
prove, however, and everyone is hopeful.
There have been frosts several nights,
but not quite enough to kill all the out-
side flowers, and, while it may be sel-
fish, there are many who think they have
lasted long enough this year and should
step aside, as chrysanthemums are now
here in full blast, including Bergmann,
Monrovia, October Sunshine, Polly Rose
and Pacific. These, with Beauties, lilies,
roses, orchids and carnations, will supply
every want, and more if the outside stock
does not disappear.

Sunday, October 4, was like a day in
June. The parks were crowded with

people and the plants looked much bet-
ter than one would expect. Now,, these
conditions must stop before the trade
will be right. The retail stores all admit
that their regular trade, outside of funer-
al work, is improving from day to day,
and they are awaiting the time when
people cannot go out and get a little
bunch in their gardens to keep their
tables presentable.

Sesquicentennial Week,

The florists all put on a good front
for the holiday week. Mrs. E. A. Will-

Lams ' store particularly attracted atten-
tion, being handsomely festooned witli
laurel and decorated with flags outside,
but the window was the piece de re-
sistance, being artistically arranged with
yellow crotons, a vase of yellow oncidium
and a background of cibotium. As yel-
low and black were the city's colors, the
display attracted more than ordinary at-
tention and interest.

A. W. Smith also made a handsome
outside decoration of yellow and black,
with American flags, and had his win-
dows appropriately trimmed. There

was an arcB, sEowing fine electric effects,
just at the entrance.

Randolph & McClements, the Zieger Co.
and Blind & Brbs.^ in the east end, took
advantage of ; the, fact that their con-
servatories are along the street front,
and made exhibits of plants that were
worth going out of the way to see.

The «ity parks were represented in
the parade by a float showing a garden,
with beds of flowers and plants. The
city colors were flying from the comer
poles. The garden hose and lawn mowers
were conspicuous and it was surround-
ed by marching men carrying park imple-
ments. It was quite unique, eliciting
many admiring comments along the line.

The committee that arranged for and
decorated the florists ' float deserves great
credit, as among the many floats, some
costing several thousand dollars, theirs
called forth as many compliments as any,
being cheered all along the line. It
represented an Indian maiden in a canoe,
coining out of the primeval forest and
wild flowers into a garden of the pres-
ent day, luxuriant with yellow roses. The
sides »f the float were festooned with
garlands of laurel, and beautiful pen-
nants of the city colors floated from
the front standards of the float. It was
hauled by six beautiful horses, each led
by a postilion wearing a black coat and
yellow vest and knee breeches, after the
style of Father Pitt. Every detail was
perfect and a credit to the trade.

Variotn Notes.

Mrs. Jacob Elicker, of Homestead, had
a fire Friijay, October 2, which dam-
aged the upper and rear portion of the
store. However, they are still able to
take care of their business while the re-
pairs are going on.

Among the visitors the last week were
Miss Margaret Schneider and Mr. and
Mrs. Scbaffer, Johnstown, Pa.; Miss
Leizmann, Latrobe, Pa.; W. R. McKean
and Joseph Haube, Charleroi, Pa.; Geo.
L. Huscroft, Steubenville, O.; N. C. Zoel-
ler, Wellsville, O.

A. E. McCoyd, of the Arcade, closed
his stand on the day of the parade and
armed himself with a bladder on a stick
to protect his glass cases from the crowd.
They kept him busy and he seemed' to be
getting lots of fun out of his job.

PACIFIC COAST.

Bellingham, Wash. — Five tons of
fancy bulbs, including narcissi, hyacinths
and tulips, have been received for the
new government station located in the
Marrietta road. The work of fall plant-
ing is well under way.

Tacoma, Wash. — Seymour conserva-
tory, the new structure in Wright park,
has been completed, and a large num-
ber of plants, flowers and shrubs are
being moved into it, under the direction
of the park supervisor, E. R. Daven-
port. It is said that some of the plants
are quite rare and that the collection, as
a whole, will be one of the most valua-
ble on the Pacific coast. The conserva-
tory was constructed at a cost of $10,-
000, donated by W. W. Seymour, a prom-
inent local capitalist.

r SAN FBANOSCX).

ThtMukcL

The weather has turned somewhat cool-
er and business can be said to be a
shade better. Flowers are scarcer now
than at any time since last winter. The
early crops from the recently planted
carnation houses have been well gather-
ed and the slower coming crops are riot
y^jt at hand. Roses are in short supply
yet, but, from appearances, they will soon
be plentiful. Asters are completely out
of season and chrysanthemums are get-
ting easier in price. Violets are in just
about suflScient quantity to fill require-
ments. Thiey will be in much better con-
dition when they have had a few more
showers. Sweet peas are of little value
to the florist at presi-nt. The stems are
getting short and the flowers drop easily.

Cut asparagus is getting scarcer, most
of the big patches having been well cut.
Smilax, although early in its season,
is being brought into town in fair quan
tity. Outside dahlias are being used
in large quantities for decorative pur-
poses. There has been a great improve-
ment in the quality of the blossoms offer-
ed for sale this year as compared with
those of former years, and as a conse-
quence the dahlia has taken its place
among the most useful fall flowers.

The demand for all classes of stock is
on the increase and October gives promise
of being as busy a month as it was a
year ago. Funeral work has occupied the
attention almost entirely of some of
our retailers for the last few days.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE DAHUA.

There has probably been no flower
within recent years that has been so
greatly perfected in California, and has
proven so valuable to the decorator and
florist, as the dahlia. Originally used
exclusively for garden decoration and
never considered choice enough to be
cut and offered for sale in the shops, it
has within the last two years taken a
place at the head of the fall blooming
flowers. It has almost crowded the chry-
santhemum to the wall and has left.it far
behind as a decorative feature on well
kept grounds.

The reasons for this are many, but .
easy to discover. Dahlia specialists have
been more active in the last few years
than almost any other branch of the
profession and, as a result, the old-fash-
ioned, stiff, heavy flowers have been
superseded by delicate, graceful, mag-

nificently colored blossoms, borne on long,
straight, stiff stems — just the long-de-
sired want of the critical public.

The dahlia has the advantage, again,
of being of the easiest culture, requiring
little or no care, as long as ordinarily rich
soil, plenty of moisture and a reason-
able situation are given. With the chry-
santhemum, if anything except mediocre
blossoms are desired, a great deal of time
and attention have to be given for a
limited quantity of blossoms. The sea-
son of flowering in our favored Cali-
fornia climate is from three to five
months and even longer, while a few
weeks is all that can be expected from
any of the chrysanthemum family.

I refer here, of course, entirely to the "
dahlia as a garden flower and do not
reflect on the mum blossoms grown under
glass, where comparisons cannot be made.
• As a flower to be used to advantage in
floral designs the dahlia has few su- '
periors, although it does not last as long
as the carnation.

The public has shown conclusively ia
the last two seasons that the newer va-
rieties of dahlias will be used extensively
in house and table decorations, and grow-
ers should provide themselves with a
stock sufficient to be relied on for cut-

good prices. The market is about clean-
ed out every day and that tends to
hold prices up to the top notch. But I
cannot say that the business is anything
to brag of, for if it were not for the
fact that flowers are so scarce there
would not be enough business to hold the
prices up. All the storemen report trade
as quiet. The wholesale men, however,
are doing well. There is just enough
stock coming in to make their returns
average up satisfactorily.

Roses constitute the main flower on the
market now. The cool weather which is
with us now has done them worlds of
good. The stock is first-class and brings
a good price. Beauties take the
lead and the price of them is slowly ad-
vancing, so that it will soon be what it
ought to be. Carnations are scarce and
bring a good price. The out-of-town de-
mand for them is good and that helps to
keep the market cleaned out of all that
come in. Mums are beginning to be
more in evidence and their quality is
much better, too. White is in heaviest
supply, with yellow second and but very
few pink. Three dollars per dozen is
about the top price, and for the quality
of goods it is a good price.

The market is well supplied with green
goods and the demand is good, too.

Outdoor flowers were frozen last week,
so we have about seen the last of the

was nominated for congress by the Pro-
hibitionists of the twentieth district at a
convention held at Cleveland Septem-
ber 29.

THEjpeoiay season made a better rec-
ord t^an many expected; the popularity
of the flower does not appear to be in
the least bit impaired and the "boom"
has not burst, for fall shipments have
been large, total sales probably as great
as in any preceding year.

The EUwanger will case at Bochester
has not yet been settled, after a long le-

hearing of the protest made by heirs of

EVERGREENS FOR VASES.

Kindly state what kind of hardy ever-
green plants would be suited to fill in
large vases during the winter months in
Ohio. C. L. R.

For keeping outdoors the following are
suitable varieties for your climate: Ee-
tinospora plumosa, R. plumosa aurea, R.
pisifera and* R. squarrosa Veitchii;
Thuya occidentalis, Arbor-vitse; Tsuga
Canadensis, hemlock ; Picea alba, white
spruce; Picea excelsa, Norway spruce;
Juniperus Virginiana, red cedar; Abies
balsamea, balsam fir. For use indoors
the bay trees and box, Buxus arborescens, .
will be found good. The retinosporas
will probably suit you as well as any-
thing for vases of moderate size. Any
of the trees and shrubs named will do
indoors and will last better if not sub-
jected to much fire heat.

TROUBLE WITH CEDRUS DEODARA

Under separate cover I am sending
some branches of Cedrus Deodara. The
tree from which they are taken is fifty
feet tall and about twenty-five feet in
spread, and is planted in a circular bed
about six feet in diameter, with a ce-
ment walk five feet wide surrounding the
bed. This walk at present is completely
covered by the branches of the cedar.
Three months ago, on finding that water
settled and became stagnant, a breeding
place for mosquitoes, a slight trench one
and one-half to two inches wide was
made on the edge of the bed to allow
the surplus water to run oflF into the
ground. Since that time the branches
have started to turn yellow and then to
die completely. Immense branches have
had to be cut out, marring a beautiful
specimen. Is it some disease, or lack of
moisture? W. W. C.

The shoots sent are entirely dead, and
if many of the branches of the tree are
in the same way, its condition must be
indeed desperate. We do not see what
special difference the running off of the

surface water should have made to the
tree; more probably the 5-foot cement
walk surrounding it is the cause of the
trouble. This naturally keeps the water
from a large section of what ought to
be the best rooting surface. Unless your
customer has some special reason for re-
taining this walk, we would advise break-
ing it up, cleaning away all the cement
and stone and replacing with good loam.
No doubt the tree is being starved and
this additional source of food supply
will stimulate it, if it is not too far
gone. C. W.

property in question is one of the most
beautiful pieces about the city. It is the
site of Peterson Nursery. Mr. Peter-
son's holdings embrace about 450 acres.
The tract through which the canal will
pass lies between Bryn Mawr and Peter-
son avenues north and south and Califor-
nia on the east and Central Park avenue
on the west. The Sanitary District
sought to acquire a right of way 660 feet
wide, containing 46.95 acres, through the
center of this tract, running in a north-
easterly and southwesterly direction. A
number of hearings were held by the ar-
bitrators in the rooms of the Sanitary
District, testimony being introduced by
J. C. Williams, attorney for the district,
and Thomas G. Deering, attorney for Mr.
Peterson. Among those called upon by
the Sanitary District were Anton Preg-
ler, Andrew J. Smith, Henry Severin and
Frank Lohenrich. Mr. Peterson called
as experts on land values Samuel Brown,
Jr., William J. Moore, Martin H. Kilgal-
len, and as to the natural beauty .Tens
Jansen, of the West Park system. Parts
of forty days' time were consumed and
over 1,000 pages of testimony taken. As
in all such cases, there was a wide dif-
ference of opinion. Acres in that local-
ity were valued at $750 to $1,600. An-
ton Pregler approximated the benefits
that would accrue to adjacent property
through the cutting of this channel at
$551,000. On the other hand, a witness
on behalf of Mr. Peterson placed the
damage to the rest of his property at
$196,000. After the hearing the arbi-
trators made protracted investigations
for themselves as to the value and par-
ticularly as to the effect of taking the
land and the construction of the chknnet
through Mr. Peterson's holdings at that
point. The arbitrators finally determined
upon a verdict of $57,148 or about $1,220
an acre for the land taken, the damages
to the residue being placed at $30,910,
making a total of $88,058.

BLEACHING CELERY.

I have 20,000 head of celery, Winter
Queen and Giant Pascal, and I should
like to bleach it with soil. Can I do
this? If so, will soil rot celery by get-
ting in the heart of it? We have nine
inches of black soil and clay subsoil.
When should I start to hill up ? H. B.

Yes, you can bleach the celery with
soil if the rows are from four feet six
inches to five feet apart. If the work is
properly done, the plants will not rot
after this time of year. As to the time
to start hilling, that is a matter of judg-
ment. I am beginning now, but later
may be better.

It requires education, experience and
sound judgment .to bleach and store
celery so as to realize a fair profit.

MAKING A MUSHROOM BED.

I wish to know if the soil on top of
a mushropm bed should be kept moist. I
spawned my first bed August 9. I have
sprinkled it several times, but the soil
is always dry, though the spawn itself
is soft and can be broken easily. The
bed is made up in a chicken coop. I
thought I ought to see some mushrooms
by this time, but the trouble may be in
using sawdust manure, of which the bed
is made. J. L. T.

I am sorry to have to discourage you
with your mushrooms, but I am afraid
you will have but poor returns. The
manure being mixed with sawdust is
enough in itself to cause failure, as it is
sure to contain resin and other injurious
ingredients. The fact that the bed con-
tinues to dry out shows that the atmos-
pheric conditions of the chicken house
are also at fault. Mushrooms require a
moist atmosphere — moist enough to main-
tain sufficient dampness in the bed to
obviate • the necessity of watering, pro-
viding your material contained the
proper amount of moisture at the time
of making up and was made of sufficient
depth to have body enough to retain the
moisture.

In a properly constructed mushroom
house a depth of eight inches for the bed
is sufficient, but where conditions aro not
altogether suitable it is safer to make the
bed twelve inches deep, the larger body
of material being better able to resist the
drying influence of the atmospheric con-
ditions. Sprinkling the walls and floor
of the house frequently will help matters
considerably, but it should never be nec-
essary to apply water to the bed itself,
as doing so invariably retards the prog-
ress of the spawn.

In making the next bed, procure ma-
nure from stables where only straw is
used for bedding, and do not be too par-
ticular about shaking all the straw out
of it, as a little straw is a benefit rather
than a detriment to the material. Avoid
another mistake which is often made,
that of keeping the manure too long and
turning and turning it until the virtue
has all been worked out of it. Try to
procure enough manure at one time to
make your bed up. Throw it in a pile
and let it heat, but not too violently.
Then turn it over, working into it about
one-quarter of good, friable loam; that
is, three parts manure to one of loam.

A BED or MUSHROOMS

Raised from our Spawn, will bear longer and yield better than from any other variety of
Spawn. This is proven by facts. Pull particulars and information how to succeed in mushroom
raising free. We warrant you, if using our method of growing mushrooms, that all will go well.

Let this stand again till heat has gen-
erated; then proceed to make up your
bed.

The soil absorbs and retains the am-
monia and keeps the material from heat-
ing too violently, thus saving an essen-
tial chemical part of the material and
allowing the bed to be made up without
having to waste valuable time in working
off the ammonia to prevent too violent
heat.

In making the bed, the material should
be moderately damp, but not too wet. If
dry, it should be sprinkled with water
until the proper moisture has been added.
Pack firmly to prevent overheating. The
bed, if conditions are right, should not
rise to over 95 degrees. Allow it to fall
to 80 degrees before inserting the
spawn, and before putting on the cover-
ing of soil allow it to fall to 75 degrees.
In about a week, or when the heat has
declined to 65 degrees, a covering of
straw should be put on, the amount being
regulated as the temperature of the bed
requires. If an overhead temperature
of 55 degrees can be maintained, the cov-
ering need not be over three inches
thick, but if the house falls lower, in-
crease the covering accordingly. The
bed itself, as indicated by a bottom heat
thermometer, should maintain a tempera-
ture of from 60 to 65 degrees.

From five to six weeks from the time
of spawning, an outlook should be kept
for the appearance of the mushrooms,
and when they begin to show freely the
straw should be removed from the bed,
so as not to hinder the development of
the crop. William Scott.

VEGETABLES IN A LEAN-TO.

I would like to know if lettuce, rad-
ishes or onions could be grown in a
greenhouse on a raised bench, the house
being just one span, six feet to the ridge
and attached to other houses. Mums are
in the house now. Could we get a crop
of vegetables for Christmas, or will they
stay dormant and not be in crop until
March? There is no heat in the house
after December 1. H. D. H.

Yes, radishes, onions or lettuce will
all do well in your lean-to house if it is
well ventilated and a little heat can bp
had on cold nights to keep the tempera-
ture about 45 to 50 degrees. All three
crops can be grown, if desired, as the
same conditions suit them all.

Kadishes of the Scarlet Globe forcing
variety mature in winter in about five
weeks from date of planting the seed,
and green onions from good-sized sets
require about the same time. It is well

As we are nearing November, we can
almost form an idea as to what the
chrysanthemum crop will be. Although
the season has been generally favorable,
too much rain at one period of the
growth ha; cut down many plants and
many see7n to be behind. We really be
lieve that the market this year will be
far from being overstocked. Mrs. Robin-
son, white, is the most seen in this vicin-
ity. C. Holtz, a kind originate 1 here,
and at first grown extensive y, has been
disregarded as a disbudded chrysanthe-

mum. It is still a good sort to grow as
a small flower for bunches, having taken
the place of the old pompon which was
the favorite some years ago.

W. Mohr lost his dahlias on account
of too much rain. This flower, which
was the queen of the All Saints' day
flowers before ithe . appearance of the
large chrysantiierafttirts, is not much seen
now. on i\\c liiark^t. Still, the scarcity
of it and the taste of many old people
i:%ake it Komctimos quite in deman 1.

M. ,1. Gurtlev, for a long time in busi-
ness as a vegetable gardener, is trying
his hand at chrysanthemums. His idea

is to u^e his sashes for cucumbers and
mums in rotation. The patch he has on
hand is fine and compares well with any
grown around here. M. M. L.

The Market.

A drop of over 50 degrees in tempera-
ture in less than thirty-six hours, which
occurred a week ago, was not conducive
to best results in the greenhouses and all
stock suffered in quality and quantity. A
shortage of flowers has been apparent.
Carnations have headed the list of scarce
articles. Boses are also off crop and the
demand is far ahead of the supply. Out-
door stock is all frozen. Asters were
nearly a total failure this season.

Various Notes.

Azaleas are already in from Belgium
and are of good quality. Dutch bulbs are
also of good size and appearance.

President and Mrs. "Wirth entertained
the officers of the State Florists' Asso-
ciation a few evenings since. After din-
ner business matters pertaining to the
winter's work and pleasure were dis-
cussed.

A. N. Kinsman, of Austin, was a re-
cent caller. He lost nearly his entire
range of greenhouses and their contents
by a flood early in July, but has rebuilt
and replanted the houses and is now ship-
ping stock into this market. He estimates
his loss at over $10,000. , X. Y. Z.

HOLYOKE, MASS.

The firm of Field & Sinclair, which
heretofore has jointly conducted the old
Howland greenhouses in this city and a
range of greenhouses in Northampton,
was dissolved October 1 and the business
was divided between the two members
of the company. Mr. Field has taken
charge of the Northampton store and
greenhouses and Mr. Sinclair takes the
Holyoke business. Mr. Sinclair was asso-
ciated with Mr. Howland in Holyoke
before he went to Northampton. He ia
of more than local prominence as a
flower grower, having developed some
new carnations, chrysanthemums and
other flowers.

Melvin L. Graves, who has been man-
ager of the Holyoke greenhouses since
the firm bought them, is now associated
with Mr. Field in Northampton, where
he has lived while in his Holyoke posi-
tion. Miss Anna Selkirk, who for a
number of years has been looking after
the store trade at the greenhouse, has
resigned and is taking a commercial
course in Springfield.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

That much-looked-for gentleman, Jack
Frost, made his first appearance October
2 and helped the greenhouse men out
nicely. Cosmos, dahlias and all flowers,
except where they were protected by
trees or buildings, are gone. The ther-
mometer registered 28 to 30 degrees.
Dahlias have been arriving in enormous
quantities on the days when the wind
and rain did not spoil them. The de-
mands have been excellent, at prices that
appear remunerative. Carnations are
selling fairly well and some fine ones are
seen in the windows. Roses are steadily
improving and American Beauties, Kil-
larney and My Maryland are in steady
demand. Valley is cleaned up each day
and is exceptionally fine. Callas made
their appearance this week at the Ex-
change, as also did some fine mums from
G. A. Lotz, of Glenbumie. Cosmos is
scarce this season, due to the dry summer.

Various Notes.

Chas. Hamilton, Mt. Washington, has
some extra fine carnations and expects to
build another house this fall.

M. Richmond, of Erdman avenue, has
rented a stall in Lexington market and
had a fine display of dahlias and ferns
October 3.

The park employees have begun to re-
move all the crotons which were planted
in the parks and squares and are going
to plant pansies in the vacant beds.
They plant annually about 50,000 plants,
as they prove more satisfactory than
hyacinths and tulips.

There are few of the local florists who
will handle bulbs for Easter, as it proved
such a poor investment last Easter. Q.

BuRKEViLLE, Va. — J. P. Dahlbom and
Mrs. Isabella Lunham were married re-
cently. He formerly was a florist at
Charlotte, N. C.

Clarence, N. Y. — A fire, supposed to
have been started by tramps, did damage
of about $3,000 at the establishment of
E. A. Muchow October 4; partly in-
sured.

MILVAUKEE.

The Market

The frosts October 1 and 2 put all
outdoor stock out of the way and reports
are that business was good and stock
scarce last week. Funeral work was
plentiful. The cool nights also helped to
shorten up the indoor crops ; consequently
everything brought a good price. Good
carnations brought 2 to 3 cents. All
mums sold readily.

Various Notes.

The regular monthly club meeting Oc-
tober 1 was well attended and things
were interesting for some time. The
local club cooperated this year with the
State Board of Agriculture at the state
fair grounds. It came to light that the
wording and arranging of the premium
list, judging, etc., could have been con-
siderably improved upon, and to this end
the president was empowered to appoint
a committee of three to meet the state
board sometime in the near future to
call attention to the weak points and
make suitable suggestions.

Nie Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, took
to the northern woods, October 2, for a
hunting and fishing trip.

Facts Worth Learning

MT LOOK, BROTHER MINE I LISTEN I ym

What GODFREY ASCHMANN, the Philadelphia Hustler, the great foreseer, has

got to say. He never goes wrong.

W" HE PREDICTS QREAT PROSPERITY I
NOW BEFORE THE DOOR

You will sell everything you have at good
prices. After a hot spell follows a cold one; after
rain, sunshine; after a panic, money plentiful,
and you have got a chance

TO FIIiL. YOUR POCK£TS IF TOU WISH

TO DO SO.

ABE YOU PREPARED FOR THE RUSH ?

Brother, think it over; it is high time. When
will you start in? Now, of course. Waiting
means suicide.

NOT ASLEEP.

We are well prepared to meet all demands.
The Araucaria King means to sell his Araucarias,
and the motto of the moveman means Keep a
Moving. Eighteen years of experience of im-
porting, growing, shipping and handling of Arau-
carias Dnngs us in the foreground of any mer-
chant in the business; so well known that any
florist from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean can
sing a song of Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias.

CHEAPER THAN EVER-FERNS TO
BEAT THE BAND.

Four bouses full of choice Boston, Whit-
manl and Scottil Ferns, 5, 5^3, 6 and 7-in., all
pot-grown, raised in snug houses which protect
from stiff irosts; never were so fine as this year.
Next on the program we carry a fine stock of
choice Kentia Palms. Robbers, Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine, etc., which stand a chal-
lenge with those of all the notable growers of
America and Europe.

The Market

Trade is beginning to show a decided
improvement, as stock of all kinds is
moving much better. Roses are coming
in quite plentifully now and move at a
^ood figure. Brides and Maids take the
lead, as there have been a good many
weddings lately, which make a good de-
mand for Brides and valley. Maids,
Eiehmond and Killarney are coming in
slowly, but the outlook is good for a
teavy crop shortly. Carnations are more
plentiful, but the increasing demand
makes them still scarce in this market.

Mums are beginning to make their ap-
pearance and we all welcome them. They
are looking fine and promise to be better
than last year. Some growers are grow-
ing single-stemmed ones exclusively.
Others are growing them two to three to
a plant, and the majority of the grow-
ers claim that they thus clean up more
money to a square foot than growing
single-stemmed. There is quite an in-
•crease of Bonnaflfon this year, as it is
an old favorite here with the growers,
as well as with the public.

Tliere are few flowers here outside of
roses and carnations, as gladioli and
asters are a thing of the past. So
mums will be a welcome addition to our
stock at this time.

Various Notes.

The Munk Floral Co. is cutting its
first mums and the stock in general gives
promise of a good crop.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut-
ting some fine Monrovia and its carna-
tions are coming on in fine shape.

Word has been received from Albert
Knopf, who is in California for his
health, that he is improving steadily.

A Wonderful New Nephrolepis

Nephroiepis Superbissima

Introduction of 1908

We desire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with ub and which we are introducing this year.

It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they
were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over-
lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact.

It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green-
entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the
fronds never breaking down.

While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of
the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact
growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a' great deal more substance, so that it will stand
more knocking around than any other fern of this type.

It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have «een it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant
that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class
with the other varieties.

It was awarded a I'lfST^CiflSS w6l*TlTlCd.T6 by the Royal Horticultural Society at Orystal Palace In
London, November, 1907, the plants exhibited there havine been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After
being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class
Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates
in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities.

We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

ERIE. PA.

Ctsrrent Comment.

After a long drought, which was the
worst in the history of Pennsylvania, we
had a refreshing rain on Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week. The forests
had been burning near Oil City and
there was danger of the oil wells ig-
niting. Erie was cloudy with smoke
from these large fires, and humanity was
suffering for want of rain. In those
-exhausting days it was a blessing to
J have Lake Erie so close at hand. Vege-
'tation is not so greatly benefited by the
showers of last week, but the atmosphere
is cooler, the fires quenched and the ter-
rible dust allayed.

Tlie local growers are receiving large
shipments of Dutch bulbs from Europe
this week.

Mr. Green, a representative of H. Bay-
ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, was in
the city recently. He was stopping at
the Keed House.

Ed Lichtinger is growing roses for
Offerle & Schaal at present. His stock
is looking well.

Miss Borden, saleslady at J. V.
Laver's store, has returned from her
vacation.

G. H. Baur left last week for Phila-
delphia, where he will resume his studies
in the law department of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. B. P.

WASHINGTON.

SUt^ of Trade

Conditions are about the same, except
the weather. We have had several frosts,
but not severe enough to cut any figure
with outdoor stock. Cosmos is fine, and
there is lots of it. All stock is plenti-
ful, with nobody working overtime.

The stores are making all sorts of
efforts to attract the flower buyers. Z.
D. Blackistone is advertising a dahlia
show in connection with his annual palm
sale. Geo. Shaffer has a school flag dis-
play; all the seminaries and private
schools having special flags with school
colors, makes an attractive display when
all are grouped.

Various Notes.

The Washington Florists' Co. had a
pretty design for one of the local the-
aters October 5. It was a yellow but-
terfly measuring about thirty inchee,
made of yellow dahlias and Kichmond
roses. It was for the play called the
Golden Butterfly.

sure your safe arrival. Detention by the police
might embarrass the reot of the bunch. Al-
thoaKh the affair is to be informal, it is in-

garb with a smile. Bring your hammer along,
as there will be plenty of opportunity for
knocking; use might also l>e found for a cork-

make him a member.

Extra! Added attraction: There will be
enough steam in the boiler and coal in the bin
to assure a hot time.

Dear Sirs: I wish to write you a few lines concerning your No. 2 boiler which we received last
fall. Your boiler proved tn be excellent in i»»tetial and workmanship. It did the work very
nicely last winter with a small amoant ot coal. Others used up more than a carload while we
used only 15 tuns all winter, including what we used in the dwellini;. Every one in our nelKhbor-
hood has got a Kroeschell boiler. As soon as the other greenhouse men saw it they took a liking to
it and now they've all got one. We speak well of your boiler to all who see it. The Kroeschell Is
our favorite if we erer ^et another. , Yours Respectfully,

CAPAQTY OF EXPANSION TANK.

I have erected two houses this sum-
mer, one 26x200 and the other 26x100,
with a connecting house 15x40 feet. I
have a No. 7 Kroeschell boiler and gen-
erator. There are six 2-inch flows in
each house, with fourteen 2-inch returns
under the benches and along the side
walls. It was recommended to me to
use an expansion tank with a capacity of
100 gallons, as the bottom of this tank
will be not higher than twelve feet from
the base of the boiler. A local plumber,
who does the piping, says it would be
foolish to use a tank of that capacity. I
would be thankful for your kindly ad-
vice in regard to the matter. A. P.

The point is not how high the bottom
of the tank is above the bottom of the
boiler, but how high it is above the
highest point in the heating plant. If it
is twelve feet above the high point in
the pipe system it will be satisfactory.
It should then be connected with the
main return close to the boiler by %-
inch or 1-inch pipe. If the system is
full when cool and there is no water in
the expansion tank, 100 gallons ought to
serve all right; larger would not hurt.

THE HEAT GENERATOR.

Will you kindly tell me where I can
get information in regard to the Honey-
well generator for hot water systems
mentioned in the Review a short time
ago! .. W. S.K.

The Honeywell generator is manufac-
tured by the Honeywell Heating Specialty
Co., "Wabash, Ind. It is a simple device
for putting the hot water under pressure
and thereby raising its temperature, in
accordance with the well-known natural
law that the boiling point of water is
raised about 3 degrees for every pound
of pressure put upon it. It is the same
principle employed in vacuum steam sys-
tems, only applied in the opposite direc-

tion. In the vacuum steam systems the
system is sealed against the natural
atmospheric pressure and the water boils
at a lower temperature; in the hot water
system artificial pressure is added to the
natural atmospheric pressure and the
water does not boil until it has been
raised to a higher temperature.

Under natural conditions water boils,
making steam, at 212 degrees. If. one
pound pressure is put upon it by artificial
means it boils at 215 degrees; two
pounds, 218 degrees, etc.

There are several advantages claimed
for the under-pressure system. In the
first place, the water in the coils is much
warmer; it can be 240 degrees under ten
pounds pressure, as against 212 degrees
' under atmosphere. The hotter the water

ting a hot water system under pressure.
It has been done by connecting with the
city water mains, but this is inexpedient
wWere the city pressure is too high or
variable. Attempts have been made to
control the pressure with automatic
valves. The Honeywell plan is to employ
a column of mercury. The "generator"
is attached to the pipe leading to the
expansion tank and seals the system as
soon as the water begins to heat. The
expansion of the water under the influ-
ence of the fire in the boiler produces
the pressure. As the water expands it
presses through the generator, lifting the
column of mercury until, at the top of
the tube, the quicksilver falls through an
outer tube and the water is free to pass
on to the expansion tank, thereby limit-
ing the pressure to the determined point.

The heat generator may be used in
connection with any boiler designed for
low pressure hot water and the makers
state that many boiler manufacturers
recommend it. It has been applied to a
number of greenhouse plants and a spe-
cial generator for greenhouse use, manu-
factured under Honeywell patents for the
Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, was given
a certificate of merit at the recent con-
vention of the Society of American Flo-
rists at Niagara Falls.

A NOVEL HEATING SYSTEW.

Quite a radical change, over the old
method of installing a steam valve in the
supply of each steam coil for greenhouse
heating, and often in each pipe or each
coil, is being installed in the range of
ten bouses, each 500 feet long, for the
Grand Rapids Greenhouse Co., Grand
Rapids, Mich.

This steam heating system is to be
operated with a pressure in the steam
mains of not to exceed one pound, and
probably most of the time with eight
ounces pressure, although the coils are
forty-four in number and with from two
to six pipes in a coil, and each coil 250
feet long, liiere are no steam valves

The heat regulation is by means of
thermostats, which control the heat to
the degrees at which the thermostats are
set, the power for such control being in
the system itself, with no inde|;cndent

piping. All of the large steam mains,
return mains, etc., are under the surface
of the ground in a trench, so that no
supports are necessary, and the pipes are
out of the way. The steam main from

than with ordinary practice.

The system has been planned on the
compound vacuum principle by the
Simonds Heating & Specialty Co.j De-

KEEP THE RECORD.

What happens in the night? It is a
question that interests every grower
who aims to turn out the best possible
stock, for a widely fluctuating night
temperature is fatal to the best success
with either cut flowers or fine pot plants.
The only way the proprietor can be
absolutely certain of what takes place in
his absence is to use a recording ther-
mometer, such as now is to be found
in most of the first-class establishments.
With this, the chart shows in the morn-
ing exactly what the temperature was
at any moment of the night, and the
owner may know for certain that his
wishes were carried out. Joseph Traudt,
of the Yates Floral Co., Canajoharie,
N. Y., says it is one of the most satis-
factory adjuncts he ever had about the
place. The expert night man should
welcome such an instrument, for it
makes a black-and-white record of his
capability — there could be no better tes-
timonial than the charts from one of
these recording thermometers, showing
uniformity of night temperature. A
good man will make the pencil in the
machine draw an almost perfectly
straight line along the designated degree
mark, while a bungler will have a record
that looks like the map of a mountain
range.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

Tea roses and Richmonds are plenti-
ful, but Beauties are scarce and prices
have advanced, and this market must de-
pend upon Chicago to help out. At pres-
ent large quantities of carnations are
also shipped in, as the demand is great
and there are not enough home-grown
carnations to supply the demand.

A few asters can be seen in some of
the stores. These are also shipped in, as
the dry weather has ruined all of the
outdoor stock. Tuberoses are scarce.
Smilax, also, is scarce. Tritomas seem to
be the principal cut flowers that the
stores are using in decorating the win-
dows, and some fine displays are being
made with them.

Varioui Notes.

George Bastian, who has been quite ill,
is now improving nicely and we hope
soon to see him back in the store.

A. F. Barbe had his fine driving horse
stolen a few days ago. After much trou-
ble and expense the horse was found over
in Kansas, running at large. The thief
evidently had been frightened and had
turned the horse loose, but it was badly
disfigured by having its beautiful long
mane and tail cut off. Mr. Barbe has a
good clue as to who the thief was and
will bring him to justice.

The show window of the Rock Flower
Co. 's shop was artistically decorated Sat-
urday with tritoma, fancy grasses and
green chiffon, making a beautiful ef-
fect.

GRAND RAPIDS.

The Grand Eapids Greenhouse Co. has
made good progress in the work of or-
ganizing its business and improving its
property. The company \vas lonncd
last winter by combining several of the
large individual plants. Its Madison
avenue, East street and Division street
plants are devoted almost entirely to the
growing of lettuce and other winter
crops, while the Burton avenue plant,
comprising the old Strong greenhouse?,
is given up to flowers.

The Burton avenue plant is under the
direction of N. B. Stover, and here ex-
tensive improvements have been made
and others are under way. An office
building and show room, with a cold
storage basement, has just been com-
pleted, fronting on Burton avenue, and
a show greenhouse, connecting with the
office, has been built.

Four new houses, two for roses and
two for violets, will be built before win-
ter sets in. Next season additional
houses will be built, until the entire five
acres are under glass. The present area
is about 75,000 square feet.

the old way oi breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better

and save you money and time ? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus luin hutdreds
of young thoots daily, simply because a knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If
you are not entirely satisfied with it you can return
it and have your money refunded. These cutters
are made of spring brass, biiibly nickel-plated, and

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry of bow we liked your Sbredded Cattle Manure, would

just bouKbt of you three hundred tons. We gave your maiiure a ffood trial test as follows:

We i>ut nine bundled pounds on a bench three hundred feet long by five and one-hulf feet wide,
as a mulch on Beauties, and on the next bench, of exactly the same size, planted also with Beauties,
we put two thouKand pounds of rough cattle Manure. Alter three days the rough Manure bad
become all washed out, nothing being left but btraw and dirt, while your Shredded Manure lasted
ten to twelve days and is still doing work.

In making manure water it Ih fully three or four times as strong as the rough Manure. The
advantages of its even quality and the easy and unobjectionable way of handling the Manure, not a
pound being wasted, make it cheaper in our opinion than the rough Manure which ^e can get for
simply the cost of freight and loading. Respectfully, BASSETT & WASHBURN.

GRAND RAPIDS.

The Crand Rapids Greenhouse <Jo. has
made godd progress in the work of or-
ganizing its business and iinju-oving its
jiroperty. The coini)aiiy was jornieil
last winter by coml)ining several of the
large individual jdants. Its Madison
avenue, East street and Division street
plants are dc\oted almost entirely to the
growing of lettuce and other winter
crops, while the Hiirtoii .aveiiiie plant,
comprising the old Strong greenhouse-,
is gi\-en up to llowers.

The liurton avenue plant is under the
direction of \. H. Stover, and here ex-
tensive imjirovenients have been made
and others are under way. An oflSce
building and show room, with a cold
storage basement, has just been coni-
pleteil, fronting on Burton avenue, and
a show greenhouse, connecting with the
office, has been built.

Four new houses, two for roses and
two for violets, will be built before win-
ter sets in. Next season additional
houses will be built, until the entire five
acres are under glass. The present area
is about 75, (too square feet.

Loi-i.sviLLK, Kv. — William Williams,

ous coiiditioii from blood poisoning, the
result of an accidental wound with a
pruning knife. While trimming some
vines, he stabbed himself slightly in the

Girvin's Handy Cutter

Mr. Florist, if you onee get one of these cutlers on your finger you will never
be without it for many times the price. .Just the thins; for euttinij your carnations,
sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be botht red with a knife or follow
the old way oi breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better

and save you money and timt- ? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus luin hutdreds
of young bhoots daily, simply because a knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If
you are not entirely satistlert with it you can return
it and have your money refunded. These cutters
are jnade of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and
contain a removable blade.

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry of how we liked your Shredded Cattle Manure, would
say that we took one ear as a trial, then we gave you an order for two cars more and now we have
just bought of you three hundred tons. We gave your manure a good trial test as follows:

We tiut nine bundled pounds on a bench three hundred feet long by five and one-half feet wide,
as a mulch on Beauties, and on the next bench, of exactly the same size, planted also with Beauties,
we put two thousand pounds of rough cattle Manure. After three days the rough Manure had
become all wasjied out, nothing being left but htraw and dirt, while your Shredded Manure lasted
ten to twelve days and is still doing work.

In making manure water it is fully three or four times as strong as the rough Manure. The
advantages of its even quality and the easy and unobjectionable way of handling the Manure, not a
pound being wasted, make it cheaper in rmr opinion than the rough Manure which we can get for
simply the cost of freight and loading. Respectfully, BASSETT & WASHBURN.

DAYTON, OHIO.

State of Trade.

Business last week was a little slow in
some respects. Roses, which were plen-
tiful at the beginning of the week, are
gradually becoming scarcer, but we have
the assurance of a good crop in a week
or two. Brides and Maids are scarce
and somewhat poor in quality, while other
varieties, such as Beauties, Kaiserins,
Rhea Reid, etc., are looking fine.

Carnations are coming better right
along. The flowers are fine, but it is
diflScult to get the stems as long as our
customers would like them. Enchantress,
Lawson and red still predominate, but
white are scarce, and naturally there is a
big demand for this color.

Asters are a thing of the past for 1908.
In fact, all outdoor stock is over with,
as our first frost of the season visited
this section of the state on the night
of October 1. Longiflorums, as usual, sell
well, and are just the~ thing for the fall
weddings. Callas are co«imencing to put
in their appearance ag^in, but as yet
the supply is limited. The chrysanthe-
mum crops look most promising. The
weather during the week was cool.

Various Notes.

Everybody is busy making geranium
cuttings now.

Mr. Bradford, of the Springfield Flo-
ral Co., of Springfield, O., was a visitor
last week.

Clifford Pruner, from E. H. Hunt 's, of

Business during the last week has
been good. The different store openings

76 The Weekly Florists^ Review^

October 8, 1908.

DENVER.

State of Business.

The last two weeks have been quiet in
the retail flower business, but with the
coming cooler weather it is hoped that
there will be a steady improvement in
market conditions.

Roses are fairly good, considering the
warm weather we have been having. Up
to September 25 the weather was un-
usually warm for that month, but at that
date a frost and a little snow about
put an end to outdoor flowers.

Carnations are increasing in size of
flower and length of stem. Asters are
about over with and such as are left are
of inferior quality. A few violets have
made their appearance, but are soft and
short of stem. They seem, however, to
supply a demand which comes from those
customers who like to call for stock out
of season.

Variottt Notes.

The interest of the public in flowers
has been kept up by the horticultural
exhibitions which have been going on
both at the Interstate Fair and Exposi-
tion, held in Denver, and at the State
Fair, held at Pueblo. The exhibits were
good and arranged with the greatest
skill, and they were all of excellent qual-
ity. The principal prize winners at the
Denver show were the Park Floral Co.,
the Colorado Springs Floral Co., Daniels
& Fisher, Alpha Floral^ Co., Goeschel &
"Wood and H. J. Berry.

J. A. Valentine and party have re-
turned from a wagon trip through the
Eocky Mountains.

Mrs. Scott, of the Scott Floral Co.,
has returned from Buffalo.

The Elitch-Long Greenhouses are about
to open a wholesale department on
Champa street.

G. H. Cooper has returned from »
vacation trip to Philadelphia.

C. F. Maler is the first on deck with
violets. E. S. K.

NEWPORT, R. L

Mrs. Robert Goelet has been so favor-
ably impressed by the manner in which
the affairs of the Newport Horticultural
Society have been conducted, that she
has contributed $500 to, the society, this
sura to be used, at the rate of $100 ^a
year, for prizes to private gardeners.

Perhaps the success of Mrs. Goelet 's
gardener, Colin Robertson, as an exhib-
itor, may have had a little to do with
the prompting of Mrs. Goelet to make
so large a contribution. One thing, how-
ever, 18 certain, that it augurs well for
the future of the Newport Horticultural
Society, that the interest of such as Mrs.
Goelet is aroised in its affairs. M.

one house seem to be doing any better than in the other on account of
the light ?

Don't be deceived— you can make more money on an investment of
$5000.00 in our cypress greenhouses than you can on any other style or
type of house made in this country. You get more bench room, more
plants, more money and more profits on the same investment, with
our cypress houses, by two-fifths over the iron frame house. And as
far as quality goes, just pick out the prize winning stock at any show
and inquire as to kind of greenhouse it was grown in.

SHEAF OF WHEAT AND ROSES.

The funeral designs by C. H. Fox,
Columbia avenue and Twenty-first street,
Philadelphia, often show unusual treat-
ment. The accompanying illustration
gives an entirely different method of ar-
ranging a sheaf of wheat with flowers
from those shown earlier in this series.
In this instance Mr. Fox attaches im-
portance to each rose being a perfect
specimen, quality rather than quantity
being sought in the arrangement. The
flowers in the illustration are Brides,
the stems tied with a bow of watered
silk ribbon. Phil.

LOCAL ADVERTISING.

H. L. Neal, of Seguin, Tex., sends a
loc^l newspaper to show hoAv he adver-
tises his Koselawn Greenhouses by means
of timely lines scattered among the local
news items and says that with a change
every week they pay him well. He adds:
* ' The articles on designs that have ap-
peared in the Review have been worth
a great deal to me; the illustrations I
cut out and paste in an album to show
to my customers and find them a great
help in taking orders. The Review gets
better all the time and is the best friend
a retail florist can have. Big cotton and
corn crops here and good times ahead
for the Texas florists."

DEADLY COMBINATION.

The display window of a shop in New
York, whose owner is undoubtedly a
good man and free from guile — that be-
ing the prevalent type of Bronx residents
— bears a handsome sign, in gilt letters:

• FLORIST :

: FUNERAL DIRECTOR :

And underneath this is a large picture
of President Roosevelt with a gun to his
shoulder, taking deadly aim.

No explanation is offered, nor are the
political proclivities of the florist and
funeral director known.

HALLOWE'EN WINDOW DISPLAY.

I wish to offer a suggestion in reply to
the query from A. F., in the Review of
October 8, with reference to window
decorations for Hallowe'en.

The week previous to Hallowe'en last
year I had in our window an appropriate
decoration or trim that attracted much
attention and at the same time was an
inexpensive one to execute.

Our window is quite a wide one, but
only about four feet deep. My trim was
just an ordinary farmyard scene. In the
first place, I covered the tile flooring
with about three inches of gravel from
the bench in the greenhouse. Then I
secured from an old tree a few branches,
with which was made a rustic fence such
as was used a great deal in olden times
— merely a few upright stakes, tied so as
to form a Y at the top, and then some

pieces laid lengthwise. Then I had three
small stacks of corn in the window, each
with a few old ears of the corn showing.
Just in the rear of the fence, as a set-
ting, were placed the tops of a few small
trees, with some of the autumn foliage
still on the branches. I also had two
such trees in the foreground. The next
thing was to get a few crows, for with-
out these the whole would have been
incomplete. This was easy. We bought
a half dozen birds, made of cloth, at the

color, and then in black painted the
wording, "Go to Schroeter's for Decora-
tions." As a finishing touch, I scattered
a few small sized pumpkins . about the
ground.

One thing I must not forget was a
moon peeping out from between the trees.
This is easily made. Cut out a piece of
glass of suitable diameter, paint it pale
yellow and then paint a face upon it.
Ours was a funny face. In behind the
glass I hung an electric lamp, for use in
the evenings. See that every part is in
about the right proportion.

Now, while there is nothing startling
about such a window trim, it is inexpen-
sive to make, certainly very appropriate,
and, if nicely executed, attracts favor-
able attention. Hugo Schroeter.

A HALLOWE'EN IDEA.

Florists' windows usually express the
beautiful and sublime. Let the Hal-
lowe'en season afford a diversion. Here's

ten cent store, dyed them jet black and
then painted the bills red, and they made
fine crows.

To add to the advertising feature of
the window, I made of thin boards what
was meant to represent a billboard. I
painted the whole a sort of a pumpkin

a suggestion for a comical corner in your
display. Secure a lot of yellow gourds
and convert them into miniature pump-
kin-heads. Mount each on a slender green
stake and thrust the stakes into the fern
pots at such a height as to give the
impression that the fern had blossomed

out this comical little pumpkin-head. A
pointed knife is quite necessary to carve
out the eyes, nose and mouth, and you
can give them amusingly different expres-
sions by varying the features, some with
slanting eyes, some with yawning mouth,
etc. If you have the small electric bulbs,
illuminate the heads; if not, various col-
ored beads will serve for eyes and finish
them off with gay colored caps of dif-
ferent shapes, easily made from crepe
paper.

I worked out this idea in my own win-
dow last year and it was pleasing to see
the merriment it made for the passers-
by. Not only did it attract attention,
but I sold all the extra heads I could
make. Anna G. Sawyer.

THE MUM AND THE WEDDING.

Autumn Brings Nuptials.

It is not alone to the vernal season
that the retail florist looks for good
wedding orders, for, while marriages are
more numerous in June, it has been
found that many of the largest hymeneal
affairs occur in the autumnal months of
the chrysanthemum, when the boldest dec-
orative effects are fortunately possible
with the use of foliage and flowers. The
well equipped decorator knows the neces-
sity of being prepared at this season,
but those not well equipped need not be
concerned lest they be overtaxed, for the
public has a marvelously acute percep-
tion in such matters, and rare it is in-
deed that the fond parents of a blushing
bride call upon other than the decorator
who possesses skill and other resources in
exact proportion to the work required.
If you want the best work, prepare your-
self with the best of facilities. Don't
expect to make your preparations after
you book your order — keep your facilities

always at least a step ahead of the re-
quirements of the best job you ever had.

Skill and Other Requisites.

In these days one needs something more
than skill to be a decorator, but acces-
sories are so numerous that it is not
necessary or, indeed, possible for any
retailer to possess more than a few of
the many changes of stage setting; for
instance, as in the accompanying illus-
trations, not more than once in a life-
time would the average decorator be called
upon to provide so many tall, tin-lined
birch bark vases as were used in this
decoration — and the number of styles of
such large vases is considerable, although
none could have been chosen more in
harmony with the scheme selected — birch
bark and autumn's queen, the chrysan-
themum.

It is in the harmony of detail that the
work of the capable decorator shows for
what it is. Suppose, for instance, that in
the decoration pictured the white wicker
Beauty vases had been used for the
mums: Would the effect have been so
good? And what about the railing which
surrounds the platform on which the
bridal party is to stand? Would any
other treatment have so well accorded
with the stately lines of tall birch bark
vases of mums down the central aisle?
Note that the rough bark of the saplings
used to make this rail is not covered with
the drapery of asparagus — its mere out-
line only was softened. Even the base
of the kneeling stool was of birch bark.

The Church Decoration.

Of course, this is a big church wed-
ding and a much larger job than the
ordinary. Indeed, the leading stores do
not get more than one or two such jobs
as this a year and outside the larger
cities such orders are rare, but ideas are

just as necessary to proper treatment
where the space and quantities of stock
used are smaller. No matter how large
your palms, you must get them up on
plant stands to give the effect of greater
height to the decoration. The larger
the roonnt the higher you must go. Note
that the support for the canopy over the
kneeling stool is far back among the
palms and entirely out of sight.

The platform foi* the ceremony was
specially built for the purpose and on
two levels, so that the central figures
might be above the rest of the bridal
party, while all were above the floor
level. Many a good decoration has been
spoiled by the fact that none except those
in the front of the body of guests could
see the point of greatest interest. It
was a big little thing in this case to
raise the whole decoration and to put
the encircling rail and vases on the first
platform level and not on the floor itself;
it was where people could see it without
craning their necks.

It is too often the case that where a
decoration is to be put up in a large
room, like a hall or a church, the size
of the room dwarfs the florist's work and
a disappointing effect of inadequacy is
the result. For decorations in large
rooms there is no better flower than the
chi^santhemum, if, indeed, there is any
other so good. The weeks of the mid-
season mums is the time when the florist
may undertake his largest work with the
feeling that for the time being at least
he has at his hand a flower whose bold
decorative qualities will respond to strong,
free treatment.

White Chrysanthemums and Birch Bark in a Church Decoration.

"How often should I water this plant?"
or, "How many times a day does it need
water!" or, "Should I set it in a dish
filled with water?"

This query is not more sensible than a
question asking a doctor, "When should
a person sleep?" or, "When should he
eat?" If the reference in either case
were to a plant that needed particular
treatment or a person whose health was
not up to the mark, it would be justi-
fiable, but when it is attached to every-
thing sold it ceases to have any meaning.

If the purchasers used judgment in
watering, they would know that prac-
tically all plants sold for indoor decorat-
ing are well established, and, if the con-
ditions are at all favorable, they should
be watered whenever they need it. Thig
is the proper answer to give to all such
queries, and whether the soil dries out
once a day or once a week makes no dif-
ference if the plant is not sillowed to get
too dry. *N

The situation in which the plant is
kept has the greatest influence on the
moisture required. Draughty rooms, prox-
imity to glass windows or doors, absence
of light, quantity of gas burned, heat
radiation from steam or other methods
of heating, glazed plant-jars and many
other conditions have much more effect
on the health of the plant than the
simple watering. Yet it is rare that
anyone asks about any of these things
and it is only when the disgruntled cus-
tomer drags the poor, suffering plant

back to whence it came, or comes in to
scold the plantsman for selling a palm
that was "sick" when delivered, that a
few of these salient points are brought
out. The customer usually prefaces the
remarks by saying, "I took care of the
plant just the way you told me to. I
watered it once a day and it kept getting
worse and worse all the time, until I
have brought it back for you to see it.
I guess it was sick when you sold it to
me."

When the poor florist timidly inquires
about the conditions in the lady's home,
he always brings forth the information
that the plant had been put into a fancy
jardiniere, kept in a room in which gas
had been burned every night and in a
dark corner or a draughty hallway, and
he is really surprised that the misused
specimen kept as long as it did.

The public should be made to under-
stand, if possible, that plants are anxious
to live as long as they can, and, if given
just a fighting chance, will do their best
to keep themselves as pretty as their
surroundings. But, when the effort is
too much, the plants will sadly droop
their leaves, in a feeble protest against
too great odds to be overcome, and,
strange to relate, it is always the fault
of the florist for having sold a "sick"
plant. G.

FERTILIZER FOR PLUMOSUS.

Will you please let me know which is
the best fertilizer or manure for Aspara-
gus plumosus, on land not very well sup-
lied with humus? The land is principally
made up of a sandy soil and is quite
heavy. The asparagus is grown under a
slatted shed.

What causes A. plumosus to have a
blighted appearance? What causes ■ the
fronds to turn brown or yellow? What
treatment would you recommend?

S. H.

The best fertilizer for Asparagus
plumosus is good, well rotted stable
manure, and this may be used liberally
in preparing the bed for this crop. The
soil may also be improved by plowing in
a crop of cowpeas or clover in the
autumn previous to planting the aspara-
gus, this being one of the best ways to
supply humus and also nitrogen to the
soil.

Without seeing the plants and the
conditions under which they have been
grown, it is difficult to give an opinion
regarding the blighted appearance, but
it is quite possible that it is caused by
getting dry at the root. W. H. T.

THE MUM AND THE WEDDING.

Autumn Brings Nuptials.

It is not alone to the vernal season
that the retail florist looks for good
wedding orders, for, while marriages are
more numerous in dune, it has been
found that many of the largest hymeneal
affairs occur in the autumnal months of
the chrysanthemum, when the boldest dec-
orative effects are fortunate^y possible
with the use of foliage and flowers. The
well equipped decorator knows the neces-
sity of being preparetl at this season,
but those not well efjuipped need not be
concerned lest they l)e overtaxed, for the
public has a marvelously acute percep-
tion in such matters, and rare it is in-
deed that the fond ])arents of a blushing
bride call upon other than the decorator
who possesses skill and other resources in
exact proportion to the work required.
If you want the best work, prepare your-
self with the best of facilities. Don't
exj)ect to m;ik(^ your preparations .after
you book your order -kei-p your facilities

always at least a step ahead of the re-
(juireiiu'iits of the Ijest job ycju ever had.

Skill and Other Requisites.

In these days one needs something more
than skill to be a decorator, but acces-
sories are so luunercnis that it is not
necessary or, indeed, jiossible for any
retailer to ]iossess more than a few of
the many changes of stage setting; for
instiince, as in the accompanying illus-
trations, not more than once in a life-
timi' would the average decorator IxM'alled
upon to provide so many tall, tin-lined
birch bark vases as were used in this
tiecoration — and the nuiid)er of styles of
such largo vases is consideiable, although
none could have l)een chosen more in
harmony with the scheme selectcNl— birch
bark and autiunn's ((ueeii, the chrysan-
tluMiium.

It is in the harmony of detail that the
woik of the capable decorator shows for
what it is. Supjiose, for instiince, that in
the decoration pictured the white wicker
Heanty vases had been used for the
mums: Would the effect have been so
good .' And w hat about the railing which
suri'ounds the jdatform on which the
bridal party is to stand.' Would any
other treiitment have so well accorded
with the stately lines of tall birch bark
vases of mums down the central aisle?
Note that the rough bark of the saplings
used to make this rail is not covered with
the drapery of asparagus — its mere out-
line only was softened. Even the base
of the kneeling stool was of birch bark.

The Church Decoration.

Of course, this is a big church wed-
ding and a much larger job thafi the
ordinary. Indeed, the leading stores do
not get more than one or two such jobs
as this a year and outside the larger
cities such orders are rare, but ideas are

just as necessary to proper treatment
where the space and quantities of stock
used are smaller. No matter how large
your palms, you must get them up on
plant stands to give the effect of greater
height to the decoration. The larger
the rooms the higher you must go. Note
that the supj)ort for the canopy over the
kneeling stool is far back among the
palms and entirely out of sight.

The platform for the ceremony was
specially built for the purpose and on
two levels, so that the central figures
might be above the rest of the bridal
party, while all were above the floor
level. Many a good decoration has been
spoiled by the fact that none except those
in the front of the body of guests could
see the point of greatest interest. It
was a big little thing in this case to
raise the whole decoration and to put
the encircling rail and vasea. on the first
platform level and not on the floor itself;
it was where jteople could see it without
craning their necks.-

It is too often the case that where a
decoration is to be put up in a large
room, like a hall or a church, the size
of the room dwarfs the florist's work and
a disajipointing effect of inadequacy is
the result. I'\)r decorations in large
rooms there is no better flower than the
chrysanthenuim, if, indeed, there is any
other so good. The weeks of the mid-
season mums is the time when the florist
may undertake his largest work with the
feeling that for the time being at least
he has at his hand a flower whose bold
decorative qualities will respond to strong,

BEDDING GERANIUMS.

I was glad to see the several letters
in recent issues of the Review on the
subject of geranium propagation. It
4 seems to be a generally accepted fact

that more cuttings damp off from out-
door than indoor stock and I am satis-
fied that early propagation only aggra-
vates the evil with the outside cuttings.
There is no trouble in rooting the show
pelargoniums, even in warm weather.
The cuttings are, of course, from plants
pot-grown and naturally harder, but even
in summer propagation of zonals is at-
tended usually by a heavy loss. The
cooler the months, the better are the
chances of success. One year I tried
leaving the boxes of cuttings outdoors
and the results were the reverse of satis-
factory. Shading I have found of no
advantage, either in fall or spring, but
if the sand or soil is kept moist, as in the
ease of mums, carnations or coleus, the
bulk of the cuttings ifiay be expected to
rot.

Cuttings put in a fortnight ago have
received no waterings since their first
one, but a spraying overhead has been
given in the middle of warm days. The
sand is dry, but not dust-dry, and the
cuttings remain plump. No further wa-
terings will be given until the sand is
very dry and only enough to keep the
cuttings from shriveling. Constant wa-
tering promotes decay and a too rapid
growth on the cuttings which may have
rooted. This is not what we want. The
opinions of others on this subject, which
is timely and important, would be in-
teresting. C. W.

YOUNG STOCK FOR SPRING.

I intend to buy geraniums from 2^!-
inch pots to grow for spring sales. When
should I order them? L. A. M. K.

If you get your geraniums about the
last of February from 2Vi-inch pots,
they will be suflBciently early. Place
the order some time ahead to ensure
prompt delivery. C. W.

IN THE SOUTH.

Speaking once more about the rooting
of geraniums, I should say that J. S.
PoUand's directions, in the Review of
October 8, are certainly good. As applied
to the latitude in which he lives, his
method would probably be free from
fault. And yet there is one defect in
liis instructions; he neglects to state that
ills rules are intended for an Iowa cli-
mate, for they would not be of much
value down here or in any other state a
few hundred miles away.

The idea of rooting geraniums under
glass, as some advocate, in such a tem-
perature as we have here today, October
10 — 85 degrees outside — is out of the
question. This is, however, en passant,
because it is the fault, also, of many
other writers in giving directions for the
care or propagation of plants or sowing
of seeds/ without allowing for the lati-
tude where tliey have to be grown.

As a matter of fact, geraniums do not
take to any kind of forcing. Too much
heat overhead, too much water in hot
weathCT, or any bottom heat will bring
bad results. Study your climate. Make
them as late as possible without any
protection and you will be successful
with a large percentage.

Down here in the south our worst dif-
ficulty is to keep our stock during the
summer. The red varieties of the Bruant
type stand well, but the soft colored,
light shades generally dry up.

Another drawback is the shortness of
our season. As I previously stated,
geraniums cannot be propagated here
much sooner than the first part of No-
vember, and by March 1 or a little sooner
they must be offered in the market. If
we pinch them, they are put back too

late, so we have to be satisfied with a
single stem, which is not by any means a
perfect plant, and this is the only reason
why we have sometimes to get fresh
stock from the north. M, M. L.

BONE FLOUR AS FERTILIZER.

If bone flour is good in a mulch for
roses and chrysanthemums, why could it
not be used as a liquid in connection
with the animal liquids that we use?

S. M.

Bone flour is a useful and quick acting
fertilizer on roses, carnations, chrysan-
themums and other bench crops, but
great care must be taken in applying it,
or more harm than good will result. I
have seen it used on some occasions as
a liquid stimulant. My own experience
has not, however, been favorable and I
much prefer it in the dry form. Liquid
from animal manure alternated with
chemical topdressings gives satisfactory
results. Too much of the liquid causes
soft, flabby growth. The chemicals
make the wood harder, although some of
the more powerful ones, like nitrate of
soda and sulphate of ammonia, promote
soft growth and heavy foliage.

FLORISTS' BEST CATTLEYAS.

Here are some of the best cattleyas
for florists to grow for cutting, as stated
by George E. McClure in a recent ad-
dress before the Buffalo Florists' Club:

The first cattleya of the year to bloom
is C. Trianse, and its varieties. -If, is a
native of Colombia and is preeminently
the best in the genus. It has many dis-
tinct varieties, which range from pure
white to rose purple. C. Trianae begins
to bloom in early January and lasts
until March. C. Schroederae, which re-
sembles C. Trianse in size of bloom and
habit of growth, is sometimes referred
to as a variety of C. Trianse. It is lighter
in color than Triana; and blooms a little
later. It is also a native of Colombia
and is invaluable, as it is the only cat-
tleya obtainable in quantity to succeed
Triana? in time of flowering. It blooms
from March to April.

The next cattleya of importance in the
order of flowering is C. Mossiae, a Vene-
zuelan species, which is in its prime from
Ajwil to May. It is a prolific bloomer
and for this reason it does .not last long
in cultivation, but with ordinary treat-
ment it will last long enough to amply
repay all care and expenditure.

C. Mendellii blooms from the end of
April to early June and is an excellent
orchid, though seldom offered in quan-
tity.

During the months of June and July
a number of fine cattleyas bloom. One

of the best of these is Warscewiczii, and
its variety, Sanderiana, commonly called
gigas. It is a native of Venezuela, and
produces more flowers to the spike than
any other of the large-Upped cattleyas.
The flowers are large and beautifully
marked. It is easily recognized by the
two yellow eyes or blotches at the base
of the labellum. This species should
have a decided period of rest in order
to produce flowers in quantity. Other
fine sorts that bloom in June and July
are Hardyana, Dowiana and Schilleriana.

One of the cattleyas of the first rank
blooms during August and September:
Gaskelliana. Its petals are narrower
than most of the large-flowered cattleyas,
but its lip is large and beautiful. It
might be called the best summer-flower-
ing cattleya.

During October and November two of
the finest cattleyas make their appear-
ance, labiata and Bowringeana. Labiata,
one of the best of the cattleyas, begins
to bloom in October and continues dur-
ing November. It is of easy culture and
can be) obtained^ in large quantities at
low prices. It is 'a. native of Brazil, and
is soijle£imes sold under the name of
C. labiata vera to distinguish it from
othe/s of the labiata claSs of which it is
the type.

Many other fine cattleyas might be
mentioned as among the best, but a collec-
tion of the above mentioned would give a
comprehensive idea of the whole genus
and abundance of satisfaction.

NOTES ON THE

BEST LILACS

I

Thdr Value to Retail Florists.

There can be no question but that the
lilacs are the most widely popular de-
ciduous shrubs grown in America today.
Their ease of culture, fragrance, free
flowering qualities, hardiness and com-
parative freedom from insect attacks are
all strong points in their favor. The
foliage appears early and hangs on very
late, in nearly all varieties retaining its
dark green color until it falls. Whether
as individual specimens or in masses,
lilacs are effective. Care, however,
should be taken not to mix varieties like
vulgaris, Chinensis and Persica, as the
habits vary so greatly and the blooming
period is not the same.

As forcing subjects lilacs have never
attained the wide popularity here that
they hold in Europe, but a good number
are grown in winter near the big cities.
I do not intend in these notes to speak
on this branch of lilac culture, but
rather to advocate their being more
taken in hand by the general run of re-
tail florists for outdoor uses. Anyone
who has seen the annual displays of
th^se flowers at such places as the Ar-
nold Arboretum, Boston, or Highland
park, Rochester, and noted the crowds
of enthusiastic admirers, must admit
that they hold premier position among
outdoor flowering shrubs, and must at
the same time feel that here is a chance
for wide-awake florists to secure some
of the best sorts, grow, flower and sell
them to their customers. That they will
sell admits of no question. Ask any
prominent nurseryman if he ever has
any trouble in disposing of aU his good
lilacs. Your customers cannot all go to
the nurseries to see them in bloom, but
if florists have some bushy little plants,
each carrying even one good inflores-
cence, there will be no trouble in dis-
posing of them at profitable prices.

Time to Plant.

Fall, in my estimation, is ^~^uch bet-
ter time to plapt lilacs than /in spring,
and unless the ground will fieeze solid
very soon after planting, it is best to
do this work from October 20 to No-
vember 10 rather than wait for the
spring, when so many duties crowd.
There is far less probability of the
roots becoming dried out in fall than
in spring, and I have rarely lost a plant
at the former season. The nurseries are
overwhelmed with spring orders, but
now they can attend to customers
promptly and there is less likelihood of
varieties specially wanted being sold
out.

Lilacs appreciate a rich soil, and do
best in a moderately moist one, where,
however, water wiU not stand in win-
ter. They will grow fairly well in quite
poor soil, but to see them at their best,
land well manured and deeply plowed or
spaded is required. Grafted plants are
mostly sold. These are preferable for
forcing, but own-root stock is preferable
for outdoor planting. The grafted

plants sucker considerably, and if per-
chance a borer gets his work in on the
main stem) the whole plant is loot.
Syringa vulgaris and privet are a good
deal used for stocks. My experience of
the latter is not favorable. Grafting is
done in spring and budding in July and
August. TTie best way to propagate the
tarer sorts is by half ripened green
wood in a hotbed in June. Propagation
by layers and hardwood cuttings is also
carried out to some extent.

After lilacs have flowered, all the in-
florescences should be removed; other-
wise these go to seed and considerably

feared, as the plants are usually in a
dying condition before the nest is noted.
Burning affected plants is the most
wholesome remedy.

Single Varieties.

The named varieties of lilacs are now
numerous, many of the finest being in-
troduced by Lemoine, of Nancy, France.
From the time the first flowers open on
Syringa oblata until the tree lilacs, S.
Pekinensis and S. Japonica, have faded,
there is a six weeks' season of bV)om.
A condensed list of some of the most
desirable sorts in singles is as follows:
Marie Legraye, still unsurpassed among
whites; Frau Bertha Dammann and
Mme. Moser, also good whites; in dark
purples Philemon takes the lead and is
one of the finest lilacs in cultivation ;
the old Souvenir de Ludwig Spath is
also good; Rubra de Marley or Madlyen-
sis is a free blooming purple red variety ;
cserulea siiperba is a beautiful clear blue
when fully open; the well known Charles
X, with its big clusters of dark red
flowers; Gloire des Moulins and Am-
broise Verschaffelt aje excellent light

weaken the plants. At this time, also,
any necessary pruning can be done.
Spring and fall are unsuitable seasons
for this work.

Lilacs are singularly free from insect
attacks. The borer already referred to
is sometimes troublesome, usually on old
plants. Oyster shell scale can be de-
stroyed liy washing the wood with a
strong solution of whale oil soap to
which has boon added a little kerosene.
San .lose scalo is the enemv most to be

rious light pink variety, making a splen-

Double Varieties.

While as a rule the singles are prefer-
able to the doubles, the latter persist in
flower much later than the former and
they include some beautiful sorts. A
few of the choicest are: Mme. Lemoine,
superb white, probably the finest double
in cultivation; President Carnot, pale

BONE FLOUR AS FERTILIZER.

If bone flour is good in a nuilch for
roses ami chrysantheinunis, why could it
not be used ;is a li(|uid in connection
with the animal li(|uids that we use?

s. :sL

Bono flour is a useful and quick acting
fertilizer on roses, carnations, chrysan-
themuins and other bench crops, but
great care nuisf be taken in applying it,
(ir more harm than good will result. T
ha\(' se(Mi it used on some occasions as
:i li(pud stimulant. My own exjierionce
has not, ho\ve\er, been favorable and I
much jirefer it in the dry form. Licjuid
fidin animal m.anure alternated with
(du'inical topdrt^ssings gives satisfactory
I'esults. Too much of the li(|uid causes
soft, flabby growth. The (hemicals
nmke the wood harder, although some of
the more powerful ones, like nitrate of
soda and suli)hate of ammonia, pronmto

of the best of these is Warscowiczii, and

The flowers are large and beautifully
nuirked. It is easily recognized by the
two yellow eyes or blotches at the base

Their Value to Retail Florists.

Tlioi'o (.•an be no question Init llial tlie
Jilacs arc tlie most widely popular de-
ciduous slirubs grown in America today.
Tlieir ease of culture, frai^rance, free
flowering qualities, hardiness and com-
parative freedom fioin insect attacks are
all strong points in their favor. Tiic
foliage ajjjiears early and luings on v(>ry
late, in nearly all varieties retaining its
dark green color until it falls. Whetiier
as individual specimens or in masses,
lilacs are effective. Care, howevin',
should be taken not to mix Narictics like
vulgaris, (Jhiiiensis and I'ersica. as the
habits vary so greatly and the lijooming
period is not the same.

As forcing subjects lilacs ha\e never
attained the wide po[)ularity h'^re that
they hold in Kurope, but a goii<l number
are grown in winter near the liin cities.
1 do not. intend in these notes tu>peak
on this branch of lilac culture, but
rather to advocate their bcin;; niori'
taken in hatul by the general run of re
tail llorists for outddor iises. .\nyone
who has seen the anmud displays of
tlu-'se ilowers at su«h i)laces as the Ar-
nold Arboretum, lioston, or Highland
park, Kochester. ami nojed the crowds
of enthusiastic admirers, must admit
that they hold premier position among
outdoor lloweriny shrulis, and must at
the same time feel that here is a chance
for wide-awake florists t() secure some
of the best sorts, grow, llower and sell
them to their customers. Thai they will
sell admits of no (piestion. Ask any
prominent luirseryman if he ever has
.any trouble in disposing of all his good
lilacs. Your customers cannot all go to
the nurseries to see them in blo(un, but
if florists have some bushy little plants,
each' carrying even one good inllores-
cence, there will bt' no trouble in dis
]iosiug of them at profitable [uicc's.

Time to Plant.

I"'all; in my estimation, is a nuuh bet
ter time to plant lilacs than in spring,
and unless the groiuid will freeze solid
very soon after jdanting, it is best to
'\o this work from October iMj to No-
\ember 1U ratlur than wait for the

plants su<'ker consideraiiiy, .ind if per-
(•hanc(> :•. l)or(>r gets his work in on the
main stem, the whole plant is hi.-,t.
Syringa \ulgaiis and privet are a "iood
deal used for stocks. My experienre of
the latter is not faxoi'able. (iraftini; is
done in spring ami budding in .Inly and
.\ugusl. The best way to pro|)agate the
i'ar(>r sorts is by half ripened green
wo(jd in a hotbed in rlune. I*i'opa<iatioii
by layers 'and hai'dwooil cuttinys is also
cai'rie(| out to soint^ extent.

Lilac Gterulea Superba*

lilac; President Grevy, cobalt blue; Al-
phonse Lavalle, bluish lilac; Michel
Buchner, pale lilac; Charles Joly, purple
red; Belle de Nancy, pink, white center;
Mme. Casimir-Perier, creamy white;
Doyen Keteleer, lilac blue, and Senator
Volland, rosy red.

Miscellaneous Varieties.

The foregoing are all forms of Sy-
ringa vulgaris. There are many other
interesting, beautiful and useful forms.
Some of the more desirable are: S.
oblata, purplish violet, the earliest of
all lilacs to bloom, the foliage becoming
a beautiful red in autumn; S. Josiksea,
violet, strong grower, blooms very late;
S. Chinensis, Chinese lilac, several
colors, makes a wide arching bush; S.
Persica, Persian lilac, purple or white,
slender drooping branches; S. villosa,
pink, a very late bloomer; S.pubescens,
small, very fragrant, pale blue flowers,
a beautiful variety; S. hyacinthiflora,
very early, a cross between S. oblata and
S. vulgaris; S. Japonica, Japanese tree
lilac, attains a height of twenty-five to
thir^-five feet, flowers early in July,
immense white panicles, makes a superb
lawn specimen; S. Pekinensis, grows
fifteen to twenty-five^ feet high, flowers
yellowish white, blooms the end of June
or early in July.

The Newer Sorts.
The foregoing lists do not contain any
of the newer and high-priced lilacs. Any
or all are worthy of culture and there
is room for a big business in these im-
proved varieties over the old S. vulgaris
and its white form. The old sorts are
worth growing, but anyone who has
made the comparison must admit that
the named sorts are much superior. The
named varieties of 8. vulgaris appeal
most to people, but the early and late

blooming qualities of the other species
are strong points in their favor.

The Beit Dozen.

For anyone wanting a "boiled-down"
list, I submit the following dozen sorts,
which will bloom over a period of six
weeks: S. oblata, S. vulgaris; singles,
Marie Legraye, Philemon, Ludwig Sp&th,
Gloire des Moulins, Macrostachya,
Charles X, S. vulgaris; doubles, Mme.

Lemoine, Alphonse Lavalle, Belle de
Nancy, S. Chinensis, S. villosa and S.
Japonica.

The immense development of late
years in the landscape branch of horti-
culture makes this an important depart-
ment with many retail florists. Of all
the popular shrubs called for, none pos-
sess the combined good qualities of the
lilacs, and he who takes time by the
forelock and works up a good stock of
them will assuredly make money. A few
good varieties planted in a florist's own
front garden will also prove a first-
class advertisement. W. N. Cbaiq.

HARDY CLIMBERS.

[A paper by Antolne Wintzer, of West Grove,
Pa., read before the New York Florists' Club
October 12, 1908.]

Hardy Qematises.

As all plantsmen know, the hardy
clematis family forms a group of most
desirable hardy cUmbers. They are suit-
able to plant in almost any place where
the fancy of the gardener or grower de-
sires to have them, so I will not enlarge
on that topic, as full details can be found
in Bailey's Encyclopedia, also in the
leading catalogues of Europe and Amer-
ica.

Glancing, mentally, over the field it
has often occurred to me that the clem-
atis family would prove a fascinating
pastime for the plant breeder of ample
means and leisure, and we sincerely
hope that some of our noted breeders
may soon be inspired to take up the
work, if it has not been taken in hand.

Probably it is not generally known
that over forty years ago several thou-
sand fine young clematis seedlings of
the lanuginosa and azurea grandiflora
strain were raised by the enterprising
and talented plantsman, the late Eugene
Beauma, at Morrisiana, N. Y., in 1864.
Nearly all of the seedlings produced fine
large flowers, some of them fully as good
as the named varieties we have at the
present time. The seed was sown as soon
as matured, in shallow wooden boxes.
The young seedlings were then planted

in thfe field the following spring, and
left out over winter. The next year
they bloomed freely.

One strong point in favor of those
seedlings was, nearly all produced large
flowers, adhering pretty closely to the
type, and they were of unusually healthy
and vigorous growth. It is my firm
belief had the good work been continued
a remarkable strain could have been pro-
duced.

While we seem to have done little to-
ward improving the family, the European
breeders are doing grand work along that
line. In glancing over their catalogues
one can find from fifty to seventy-five
or more varieties and types listed. Near-
ly all our leading firms are satisfied with
from five to ten varieties. They have,
evidently, learned from experience that
few of the large flowering varieties are
adapted to our climate.

If this is the case, we should strive
our utmost to breed as good or better
varieties suitable for our climate. Per-
haps some one is doing the good work
in silence.

The following are some of the large

flowering varieties, mostly of lanuginosa,

Jackmani and viticella types, generally

catalogued by the leading firms:

Jackmani, violet purple.

Henryl, creamy white.

Gypsy Queen, dark velvety purple.

Ramona, deep blue, very fine.

Mme. Baron Vlellard, shade of lavender pink.

Ville de Lyon, carmine red.

Star of India, shade of purple.

Miss Bateman, silvery white.

Lanuginosa Candida, pure white.

Belle of Woking, silvery gray.

Countess of Lovelace, bluish lilac double.

Jackmani superba, deep violet purple.

That beautiful and popular Japanese
variety, Clematis paniculata, has grown
to be a general favorite. Its graceful
sprays of fleecy white flowers are always
attractive. It is one of the most reliable
and easily grown of the family. It is
readily increased by seedlings. The seed
is usually sown as soon as matured in a
greenhouse, and the young plants potted
singly, and planted in the field in May
or June. Other methods are sometimes
pursued.

The native Clematis Virginiana is
found growing wild, usually in moist
places, near the banks of rivers and
brooks by the margin of woodlands, also
in neglected fence corners. Its sprays
of white flowers form a pleasing sight
in early autumn. It is easily increased
from seed.

The European variety, Clematis Flam-
mula, was more extensively grown for-
merly than at the present time. It
flowers in small white clusters. Its roots
are used as stock to graft the large
flowered varieties on.

Clematis Davidiana, a late flowering
variety, producing small, tubular blue
flowers in August and September. Grown
from seed.

Clematis stans, like the preceding,
only the flowers are a light porcelain
blue, and borne in September and Octo-
ber. When the season is long enough to
ripen the seed it is best grown that way.
It is the easiest variety to grow from
hard wood cuttings. These should be
cut to single eyes and planted in the
greenhouse bench in January or Febru-
ary. In March or April they will be
well rooted, and should then be potted in-
to 3-inch pots, and are then ready to
plant in the field in May or June. They
will bloom the same season, in October.

Outside of New York state I do not
think that the large-flowering varieties
of clematis are grown to any consider-

THE NATIVE AMERICAN LOTUS.

I am sending to you some water lilies,
of which I should like to know the
botanical name. I am also anxious to
know how widely the variety is dis-
tributed in this country. These flowers
came to me through a custoober in the
northern part of Illinois, whoiays there
are only three beds of the variety known
to exist in the United States. I should
like especially to confirm or disprove
this point. S.

The plant received is our native lotus
or water chinkapin, Nelumbium luteum,
Willd. To give an idea of its distribution,
I will quote from the manuals in general
use. About forty years ago Chapman's
"Flora of the Southern United States"
gave its range thus: "Nelumbium lu-
teum, Willd. (Water chinkapin.) Lakes
and still waters. Florida, near Tallahas-
see and northward and westward. Not
common. ' '

The earlier editions of Gray's "Man-
ual of the Northern United States" give
the distribution of the yellow nelumbo
or water chinkapin: "Waters of the
western and southern states; rare in the
middle states; introduced into the Dela-
ware below Philadelphia, Big Sodus Bay,
Lake Ontario and in the Connecticut, near
Lyme; perhaps introduced by the abo-
rigines. ' '

The Chicago' Academy of Sciences, in
its "Flora of Cook County," 1891, gave:
"Nelumbo lutea, Pers. Foot of Lake
.Calumet and Calumet river. Wolf lake."

It is quite likely, however, that the

plant has been exterminated from those
latter localities. It is reported plenti-
ful in Grass Lake, northwest from Chi-
cago, and I have heard of a considerable
tract of the plant in the river near
Beardstown, 111.

Don, in "History of Dichlamydeous
Plants," says of Nelumbium luteum:
"Native of North America, in lakes and
ponds in Virginia, Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana ; also near Philadelphia, in the
ditches and ponds of Brobston's mead-
ows. The seeds are very agreeable to
eat and are eagerly sought after by
children and Indians. By the latter it
is supposed the plant was introduced to
those ponds near Philadelphia, as there is
no other instance known where it ia
found so far north."

A special eflfort should be made to es-
tablish this beautiful flower wherever
it can be grown. Its conspicuous beauty
of bloom and the edible nature of its

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

Poinsettias.

Late propagated cuttings of poinset-
tias, which have become established in
small pots, will still make up into nice
little pans for Christmas. Mix a few
small nephrolepis or other ferns with
them. Of course, these late poinsettias
will not give large bracts, but they pro-
duce nice, compact stock, generally with
foliage to the bottom, and these sell bet-
ter than the leggy specimens too often
seen.

Now is the critical season with poin-
settias. Sudden drops in temperature
and an oversupply of water at the roots
are chief causes of yellow foliage. A
night temperature as near 60 degrees as
possible should be maintained. As the
bracts open, a rise of 5 degrees is desir-
able, lowering it again when the bracts
are fully expanded. Of course, good
poinsettias can be and are grown in
lower temperature, but plants given the
treatment suggested can hardly fail to
give satisfaction if carefully tended.

Unless plants have a starved appear-
ance, it is better to avoid use of liquid
stimulants until the bracts form. If they
take on a pale color, try weak nitrate
of soda or soot water to tone them up.

Euphorbia Jacquiniaeflora.

Euphorbia jacquiniaeflora is not nearly
so much grown as its merits warrant.
Those who handle it commercially have
no trouble in disposing of what they
produce, either in pots or in the form
of cut sprays. It is an old plant, but
many people hardly know it, and it is
looked upon as a novelty in some mar-
kets. Treated similarly to poinsettias,
it will come in bloom for Christmas.
The rather slender shoots will require
staking, but not too stiflBy. The best
way to get first-class sprays is to plant
out a few in a bench, or, if you have
a piece of roof adapted for climbers and
can train them up it, you will be sur-
prised at the splendid sprays of flowers
they will produce.

Berried Plants.

Ardisia crenulata is always a prime
favorite at Christmas. The berries hang
on the plants so long that they almost
seem like everlasting. It is necessary
to get a good price for ardisias. They
cannot be grown into salable plants in
less than three or four years, and there-
fore cannot be imported very cheaply,
and unless the bferries are well colored
by the holidays, they will not take jvell.
To ensure their having that brilliant
red which is so desirable in Christmas
plants, let the stock have a sunny house
and elevate the best specimens on invert-
ed pots to give them all possible light.
As the pots are probably crowded with
roots, use liquid manure once in ten days
to keep them a good color.

Berried solanums and Christmas pep-
pers ripen so quickly that a cool house
only is needed to have them well ripened.
These plants are easily and cheaply

grown, and can be sold profitably at a
moderate price. When they are ripe in
good season, a little sale will probably
be found for them at Thanksgiving.
Both require an abundant water supply
and green aphis must not be allowed to
disfigure them.

Camellias.

Imported camellias have recently come
to hand and are nicely budded. Europe
reports a revival of interest in these one-
time chief American favorites, and a
little better call than usual may be, made
for them the coming season. Bushy little
plants in 6-inch or 8-inch pots are the
best sellers. After potting, keep in a
cold pit or cool greenhouse. Camellias
resent any forcing. This always causes
a dropping of the buds. The only time
when a fairly brisk heat is advantageous
is during the early part of the growing
season. These remarks, of course, apply
to the cold northern states; in the south,
as we know, camellias are familiar out-
door shrubs.

Azaleas.

Sales of azaleas at Christmas are
quite considerable each year. The most
easily forced variety is the brilliant

Hexe, or Firefly, as it is often called,
with rosy crimson flowers. Charles Enke,
a beautiful pink of similar dwarf habit,
is also desirable. Of the larger flower-
ing varieties, Apollo, with its brilliant
orange-scarlet flowers, always takes the
lead. Vervajneana, Simon Mardner and
P°iutsche Perle can also be had in
bloom for Christmas. Do not subject
the plants to too much heat at once, as
this may cause many leaves to drop. A
temperature of 55 to 60 degrees at
night, with a free spraying overhead
two or three times a day, will bring
them along nicely. Later in the season
more heat can be given if it is seen
that they are a little backward.

Freesias.

It is time to make the final plantings
of freesias. No advantage is gained by
keeping the bulbs any longer, as they
will only produce weak plants.

The earliest batch should now be on a
shelf in a light, sunny house, or if a
shelf is not at command, a light bench;
52 to 55 degrees at night is as high as
the temperature should be. The pans
and flats require a lot of water; in fact,
if they are well drained, there is more
danger of too little than too much water.
A dose of weak liquid manure once a
week, now that the flats are full of
active roots, will stimulate the plants.
Use care in fumigating where freesias
are. The foliage is easily scorched and,
no matter how fine the flowers may be,
they will bring poor prices unless the
leaves are green to the tips.

Cyclamens.

Already a few flowers are opening on
some of the cyclamens wanted for
Christmas sale. For early flowering the

plantB should now be in a light house,
slightly shaded. Space them so that
the leaves do not crowd each other, and
water with great care. The bulbs are
now bristling with buds and all efforts
should be used to get a fair proportion
of these open for Christmas. A resort
to forcing will only result in drawn and
attenuated looking plants. A carnation
temperature is as high as cyclamens
should have at any time. As the plants
will not yet have their blooming pots
filled with roots, postpone feeding for
two or three weeks longer.

Cyclamens needed for spring sales will
still be better in frames, where they
can be carried for a month, if need be,
with the aid of mats.

How are the little seedlings coming
on? All should now be germinated and
the strongest will be making their 'sec-
ond leaves. They should be transplant-
ed into other flats before they become
crowded. Use a soil containing half
leaf-mold and plenty of coarse sand,
but no manure at all. It is not yet too
late to make another sowing, if suffi-
cient seedlings have not appeared from
the early sowing. These can be grown
into nice 6-inch pot plants for Christmas
of 1909.

Planting: Hardy Perennials.

The best season of the year for di-
viding and replanting hardy herbaceous
perennials is the last half of October
and first week in November. It is a
great mistake to leave these hardy plants
year after year without changing them.
They will not give nearly so good re-
sults as when they are transplanted
everjr other year. There are few varie-
ties which do not move successfully in
the fall, and if this work is done now
the plants will become nicely estab-
lished before the ground freezes up.
Phloxes, helianthus, delphiniums, lychnis,
boltonias, asters, aquilegias, spiraeas, ve-
ronicas, gypsophilas, campanulas and
aconitums all do much better if fall
planted. Pyrethrura roseum and Anem-
one Japonicum are among the few
which are better left until early spring.

All perennials delight in ground which
contains a good proportion of humus
and has been deeply^ plowed or spaded.
Care should be taken to let the roots
dry as little as possible and, of course,
the need of firm planting cannot be too
strongly emphasized. No winter cover-
ing should be given until the ground is
fairly frozen. Then a coating of coarse,
strawy manure, or better still, forest
leaves, held in position by corn stalks or
brush, can be spread over them.

Trees and Shrubs.

It is a thousand pities that more plant-
ing of shrubs and trees is not done in
the fall. It would seem as though the
idea that spring was the only real plant-
ing season for this class of nursery stock
is so strongly imbued in many minds
that fall planting is looked upon as a
pure heresy. There may be some of the
colder states where spring work is the
better of the two, as the ground freezes
tight in these sections soon after plant-
ing has been done, perhaps with an in-
sufficiency of moistire at the roots. To
this latter cause more failures are due
than to the severity of the cold, but
over a wide section of the country there
are so many positive advantages in fall
planting that anyone who once tries it
will never want to depend entirely on
the strenuous springtime for this work.

Nurserymen should lay more stress in

they be sprayed! S. M.

A temperature of 60 degrees at night
until the flowers are fairly well expand-
ed, and a position well up to the glass
are requirements for the successful cul-
ture of these useful winter flowering
plants. They should not be sprayed at
all unless the presence of a big ^rop
of mealy bug necessitates it. Even
then, great care will be required, or the
plants will be seriously damaged. Lor-
raine begonias should have little shade
at this season. In the north many grow-
ers keep their plants in the full sun,
but in your warmer latitude (Kansas)
a light shading would seem necessary.
Elevate your plants well. Keep water
off the foliage aa much as possible, and
do not use any liquid manure unless you
are sure the pots and pans are well filled
with roots. Better avoid chemical fer-
tilizers altogether. C. W.

MR. REID HAS A FINAL WORD.

In the Eeview of October 1, on page
12, Mr. Guille has evinced great surprise
at the stand TChich I have taken relative
to sending southern-grown bulbous stock
to the Philadelphia market. It seems
strange to me thalt he should be stir-
prised,' as I expressed my views plainly
in his hearing at the Florists' Club in
this city.

My one reason for discouraging the
production of that stock, and putting it
on the market • here, is because it has
such a tendency to demoralize business
conditions in general. Bulbous stock has
heretofore been made welcome by the
trade, when they were able to realize
some profits, and also by the flower buy-
ers, but in recent years, with the terrible
influx of that kind of stock, it has
seemed to demoralize the business, not
only in that particular line, but others as
well.

Mr. Guille has asked me to explain
why I consider their competition in the
flower market as unfair. , I shall en-
deavor to do so. I am satisfied to abide
by the decision of the trade in general
whether I am right or not.

In the first place, everyone here who
forces bulbs does so for the flowers. This
is the only thing that they can derive
any revenue from, while on the other
hand the Virginian growers are engaged
in the business of producing bulbs and
consequently not depending on the sale
of cut flowers for profits. In other words,
the money which they get out of cut
flowers is a side issue, or what we might
call a gain. Then again, their labor does
not cost them fifty per cent of what the
florists of this section have to pay for
their help. An acre of land where they
are located could be purchased for less
than what the ground on which a green-
house located here would cost. Then
again, they are favored with climatic
conditions which enable them to grow
bulbous stock in enormtJiiW-ljuantities out-
doors, in competition with men who are
obliged, after buying their bulbs and
paying the dealer's profits, to force the
bulbs under glass.

These are a few of the reasons which
I think will be sufficient to convince any
man that as far as the general good of
the trade is concerned, the competition is
unfair.

Mr. Guille states that if any one has
discovered a cheaper way of producing
bulb blooms, it ought to redound to his
credit. To that I would sSLy amen. But
no one has unearthed any new secret in
botany. On the other hand, the growers
in\the south are going back to the primi-
tive method of growing bulbs outdoors.
It is a known fact that daffodils have
grown wild in Gloucester county, Vir-
ginia, since it was first settled.

About the tariff: I am not going* to
discuss that, because if I did some of
our politicians might be put out of a
job; but just to state in passing that
judging from the tide of emigration to
this country all the time, conditions must
necessarily be an improvement over those
of countries of the old world. It is my
candid opinion that the man who grows
flowers at an enormous expense during
the winter months, when the dealer makes
his money, is entitled to some considera-
tion, and ought to be protected against
such ■ competition as above stated.

As to comparing the stage coach and
the railroad, you must certainly know
that for every dollar invested in the for-
mer there were thousands invested in the
latter; and it is only owing to such
development that the Virginia grower of
bulbs is enabled to put his secondary
croi\ in competition with the florists who
force the bulbs under glass at distant
points.

Mr. Guille wonders if I have any idea
what it costs the Virginians to produce
their flowers and place them on the mar-
ket. I have a general idea, but nothing
very deflnite. One thing I do know, how-
ever; were they depending entirely for
their profits on the amount realized from
the flowers they would not stay in that
line of business veiy long, for I hardly
think, taking it altogether, the bulb grow-
ers last season got the first cost out of
their bulbs, owing to this competition
which I have designated as unfair.

Mr. Guille seems now to put the blame
for the glut on the wholesale florists. It
seems to me that they have enough
troubles of their own without trying to
load them down with any more. Sup-
posing that we stopped shipments for a
day or two; I do not see that it would
improve conditions any; if they did not
come to Philadelphia they would go some-
where else. That is why I say that it
has a tendency to be far-reaching in its
effect-
Mr. Guille also states that the southern
bulb growers are prepared to sacriflce a
little for advertising purposes. It seems
to me that they are working from the
wrong end, for they are engaged in the
business of producing bulbs for the
florists to force, and they can rest
assured that no man is going to buy
bulbs and force them except he can do
it with a profit, and under the existing
conditions that would be an utter impos-
sibility. It seems to me our gentlemen
from the south are making the same
fatal mistake as was made by the lily
bulb growers in Bermuda, by cutting tho
flowers and sending them to this country,
and the result was, as everyone knows,
that it ruined the quality of the bulbs,
and it was necessary for the government
to take the matter in hand, and at the
present time the lily growers are afraid
to risk, the product of that island, while
the Japanese lilies are much in demand.
Mr. Guille also states that the time is
not far distant when every family in the
United States will insist upon having
flowers on the dining-table. We are all
hoping that the time will soon come, and
if he undertakes to supply that demand
from good old Virginia, it will be neces-
sary for him to sell them at a much
higher price than what they were sold
for in the home market at Norfolk, if he
wants to make any money.

It is only fair to state that the greater
amount of flowers which have been sent
to this market have been fine, and it has
always been a matter of regret to me
that they were sold so cheaply, but under
the conditions which prevailed, owing to
the quantity which comes into the mar-
ket, there is nothing to do but move
them at some price. It is my belief that
if the distribution of this bulbous stock
could be eliminated or at least modified,
it would be much better for all con-
cerned. Edwaed Eeid.

Three of the Varieties of Dahlias Described by Georgfe S. Stoddard.

Schwan.

VARIETIES OF DAHLIAS.

As the dahlia season is about ended,
it occurs to me that some of your corre-
spondents might write an interesting ar-
ticle giving the characteristics of some
of the new varieties of cactus and deco-
rative dahlias, which have been intro-
duced within the last three years. I
am only a beginner with these plants
and my dahlia crop for the last two
years has been a failure, owing to con-
ditions which I could not control. In
preparing such a paper, it is my idea
that for the cactus type the Countess of
Lonsdale should be taken as a standard,
as without a doubt it has all the desir-
able characteristics, excepting possibly
color, of the true cactus type.

I have found that the descriptions in
the florists' catalogues generally omit
the undesirable characteristics, such as
soft wood, weak stem and shy bloom.

Some time ago you published an arti-
cle on peonies, reviewing a large num-
ber of varieties, withf a short descrip-
tion of each variety, and to me a sim-
ilar article on dahlias would be of great
interest. Wm. W. Macfaelane.

Notes on Varieties.

Aurora. — A dahha of German origin,
producing flowers from five to seven
inches in diameter, having a cream col-
ored center, shading to amber, then to
pink with white tips. A fine flower for
decorations, showing up well under ar-
tificial light.

Ivanhoe. — This is an English dahlia
of a fine straw color, with slight shad-
ings of amber. It is altogether a fine
dahlia and very free.

Papa Charnut. — A French decorative
variety of large size, with flowers meas-
uring six to eight inches in diameter.
It is a most beautiful shade of crimson
maroon. The flowers are freely pro-
duced and every one perfect.

Sambo. — A welcome addition to the
dark varieties of cactus dahlias. The
flowers are a rich, dark maroon, with
the center almost black. Of good size
and flne form.

Wm. Marshall. — Another English
dahlia of recent introduction, and one
which attracts a good deal of attention.
It is a rich, ripe straw color, with a
lighter center. The flowers are of large
size and freely produced. One of the
best for decoration.

Marguerite Bouchon. — This is a
French cactus dahlia, and one that is

sure to be in large demand. The color
is a most beautiful shade of pink, with
white tips. It is a massive flower, al-
ways full to the center, and freely pro-
duced. This and the two following
varieties are shown in the illustrations.

Yvonne Cayeux. — A pure white cactus
dahlia, of fine form and very free. The
florets are straight and the flowers are
borne on. long stems. Of French origin.

Schwan. — Here is by "far the most
beautiful white cactus dahlia yet pro-
duced. It is as pure white as the snow.

WK SHALL. BK GLAD
TO HKAR FROM TOU.

The incurved and twisted petals make
it a most graceful and characteristic
flower for all-around use. The habit of
growth is all that can be desired. The
flowers are thrown well up on long, stiff
stems. This dahlia is highly prized in
Germany, where it originated.

Directeur Quennec. — A good French
dahlia, and very free. Color, pale yel-
low, with slight shadings of copper and
splashings of white.

Reliable. — 'An English novelty. As
its name implies, it is a truly reliable
variety. I have yet to see one flower

with an open center. From one plant,
during this exceptionally dry season,
twenty large, perfect flowers could have
been cut at one time. It is''a fine dahlia
in every way. Color, yeUow at the base;
the outer petals are salmon, with a sheen
of faint scarlet.

Alight. — Another English dahlia of
good texture and fine form. The florets
are like needles, perfectly set together
in large numbers, making a very full
flower. A free tloomer. Color, rich
orange scarlet.

Mme. Henri Cayeux. — Here is a
French dahlia, and without' doubt the
finest in cultivation. The flowers are
very large, with needle-like petals, well
set and full. Color, a most pleasing
shade of pink, with each petal tipped
white. It is a flower of great merit.

POT PLANTS.!

sown about the middle of Aug^t. When
may I expect them to bloonif What

Browallia speciosa major anft ^renia
Fournieri should be given a winteV tem-
perature of 50 to 55 degrees at night.
If kept potted along, they will commence
flowering in April. As a rule, pots six
inches in diameter are sufliciently large
for good sized plants. Matricaria ca-
pensis alba is perhaps better known as
Chrysanthemum parthenoides alba. This
is a quite vigorous growing variety and
should have 7-inch to 8-inch pots, tt
will not give much flower before early
^mmer, and is not equal to the marguer-
ites in commercial value. It will pay
you better to take cuttings of the latter
now and grow them on rather than
trouble with the matricarias. C. W.

grown wild in Gloucester county, Vir-
ginia, since it was first settled.

About the tariff: I am not going- to
discuss that, because if I did some of
our politicians iiiiglit be put out of a
job; but just to state in passing that
judging from ^he tide of emigration to
this country alj the tim(\ conditions must
necessarily be an iin]iro\enieiit over those
of countries of the old world. It is my
candid opinion that the man who grows
flowers at an enormous expense during
file winter months, when the dealer makes
liis money,- is entitled to some considera-
tion, ;ind ought to be protected against
such coinjjctition as above stated.

As to comparing the stage coach and
the railroad, you must certainly know
that for every dollar invested in the for-
mer there were thousands invested in the
latter; and it is only owing to such
development that the Virginia grower of
bulbs is enabled to put his secondary
crop in competition with the florists who
force the bulbs under glass at distant
points.

,Mr. Guillc wonders if I have any idea
what it costs the Virginians to produce
their flowers and place them on the inar-
ket. I have a genenil idea, but nothing
very definite. ()nc thing I do know, how-
ever; were they depending entirely for
their profits on the amount realized from
the flowers they would not stay in that
line of business veiv long, for I hardly
lliink. taking it altf)getlier, the bulb grow-
ers last season got the first cost out of
their bulbs, owing to this competition
which I have designated as unfair.

I\Ir. Guille seems now to put the blame
for the glut on the wholesale florists. It
seems to me that they have enough
troubles of their own without trying to
load them down with any more. Sup-
posing that we stopped shipments for a
day or two; I do not see that it would
improve conditions any; if they did not
come to Philadelphia they would go some-
wlicre else. That is wliy I say that it
has a tendency to be far-reaching in its
effect.

Mr. Guille also states that the southern
bulb growers are prepared to sacrifice a
little for advertising purposes. It seems
to me that they are working from the
wrong end, for they are engaged in the
business of producing bulbs for the
florists to force, and they can rest
assured that no man is going to buy
bulbs and force them except he can do
it with a profit, and under the existing
conditions that would be an utter impos-
sibility. It seems to me our gentlemen
from the south are making the same
fatal mistake as was made by the lily
bulb growers in Bermuda, by cutting tho
flowers anil sending them to this country,
and the result was, as everyone knows,
that it ruined the quality of the bulbs,
and it was necessary for the government
to take the matter in hand, and at the
present time the lily growers are afraid
to risk the ])roduct of that island, while
the Jajianese lilies are much in demand.

^Ir. (iuille also states that the time is
not far distant when every family in the
United States will insist upon having
flowers on the dining-table. We are all
hoping that the time will soon come, and
if he undertakes to supply that demand
from good old Virginia, it will be neces-
sary for him to sell them at a much
higher price than what they were sold
for in the Rome market at Norfolk, if he
wants to make any money.

It is only fair to state that the greater
amount of flowers which have been sent
to this market have been fine, and it has
always been a matter of regret to me
that they were sold so cheaply, but under
the conditions which prevailed, owing to
the quantity which comes into the mar-
ket, there is nothing to do but move
them at some price. It is my belief that
if the distribution of this bulbous stock
could be eliminated or at least modified,
it would be much better for all con-
cerned. Edward Reid.

Three of the Varieties of Dahlias Described by George S. Stoddard.

VARIETIES OF DAHLIAS.

As tlie dahlia season is about ciuled,
it occurs to 1110 that some of your corro-
sjinndcnts niiolit write an interestiiifj ar-
ticle f^ivin^r tlie characteristics of some
of the new varieties of cactus and deco-
rative dahlias, which have been intro-
<luced within the last tlircc years. I
am only a bepjinner witii these plants
and my dahlia crop fur the last two
years has been a failure, owini; to con-
<litions Avhich 1 could not control. In
])roparing such a ]iaper, it is my idea
that for the cactus type the Countess of
Lonsdale sliould lie taken as a standard,
as without a doubt it has all the desir-
able characteristics, excepting possibly
color, of the true cactus type.

I have found that the descriptions in
the florists' catalogues generally omit
the undosiral)le characteristics, such as
soft wood, weak stem and siiy bloom.

Some time ago you published an arti-
cle on peonies, reviewing a large num-
ber of varieties, with a short descrip-
tion of each variety, and to me a sim-
ilar article on dahlias would be of great
interest. Wm. W. Macfarlane.

Notes on Varieties.

Aurora. — A dahha of German origin,
producing flowers from live to seven
inches in diameter, having a cream col-
ored center, shading to amber, then to
j)ink with white tips. A fine llower for
<locorations, showing up well under ar-
tificial light.

Ivauhoe. — This is an English dahlia
of a fine straw color, with slight shad-
ings of amber. It is altogether a lino
dahlia and very free.

I'apa C'harnut. — A French decorative
variety of large size, with flowers meas-
uring six to eight inches in diameter,
it is a most beautiful shade of crimson
maroon. The flowers are freely pro-
<lu('ed and every one perfect.

Sambo.— A welcome addition to the
<lark varieties of cactus dahlias. The
flowers are a rich, dark maroon, with
the center almost black. Of good size
and line form.

Wm. ^Marshall. — ■ Another Knglish
dahlia of recent introduction, and one
whifh attracts a good deal of attention.
It is a rich, ripe straw color, with a
lighter center. The flowers are of large
size and freely produced. One of the
best for decoration.

^Marguerite Bouchnn. — This is a
French cactus daldia, and one that is

sure 'to be in large demand. The color
is a most beautiful shade of jiink, with
white tijis. It is a massive tlower, al-
ways full to the center, and freely pro-
duced. This and the two following
varieties are shown in the illustrations.

^'vDUiie Cayeux. — A ])uro white cactus
dahlia, of fine form and very free. Tlie
florets are straight and the flowers are
borne on long stems. Of French origin.

Sfliwau. — II(>ro is by far the most
beautiful white cactus dahlia yet pro-
duc(»d. It is as pure white as the snow.

The incurved and twisted petals make
it a most graceful and characteristic
flower for all-around use. The habit of
growth is all that can be desired. The
flowers are thrown well up on long, stiff
stems. This dahlia is highly prized in
Gernuiny, where it originated.

Directeur Quennec. — A good French
dahlia, and very free. Color, pale yel-
low, with slight shadings of copper and
splashings of white.

Eeliablc.— An English novelty. As
its name implies, it is a truly reliable
variety. I have yet to see one flower

with an open center. From one plant,
during this exco](tionally dry season,
twenty large, jierfect flowers could have

I u out at one time. It is a fine dahlia

ill every way. Color, yellow at the base;
the outer jietals are salmon, with a sheen
of faint scarlet.

Alight. — Another Knglish dahlia of
good texture and fine form. The florets
are like needles, perfectly sot together
in large numbers, making a very full
flower. A free liloomer. Color, rich
orange scarlet.

Mine. Henri Cayeux. — Here is a
I'rench dahlia, and without doubt the
finest in cultivation. The flowers are
very large, with needle-like petals, well
sot and full. Color, a most pleasing
shade of j)iiik, with each petal tipped
white. It is a flower of great merit.
(1e(». .s. Stoddard.

POT PLANTS.

I have some nice plants of Browallia
spcciosa major, Torcuiia Fournieri and
.Matricaria capeusis alba. The seeds were
sown about the- middle of August. When
may I expect tiiom to bloom? What
temperature, and what is the best size
jiots to use? L. K.

lirowallia speciosa major and Torenia
Kouruiori should be given a winter tem-
jioiature of .lU to o.j degrees at night.
If kept potted along, they will commence
flowering in April. As ii rule, pots six
inches in diameter are sulHciently large
for good sized plants. Matricaria ca-
peusis alba is perhaps better known as
Clirysaiithomum iiartliouoides alba. This
is a (|uit(! vigorous growing variety and
sh.uilil have 7-iucli to S-iuch pots. It
will not give iiuudi (lower before early
suuiiner, and is not equal to the marguer-
ites in comuiorci.'tl value. It will pay
ynuOiottcr to take cuttings of the lattoV
MOW and grow them on rather than
trouble with the matricarias. C. W.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

Loveless Asks Aid.

Now that the chrysanthemum once
more claims our notice, it seems an op-
portune moment to call attention to the
great exhibition soon to be held in Chi-
cago, and to impress upon the many
admirers of the queen of autumn the
importance of lending their assistance in
making this a memorable occasion in the
history of the chrysanthemum in America.

It is encouraging to note the progress
that has been made in the development
of this charming flower, and all growers
are invited to exhibit their productions
at the national flower show, and to make
this the greatest exhibition of perfect
flowers that has ever been held.

This particular section is given over
to the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer-
ica, and it is the duty of every member
to see that our section is much above the
average, a credit to our society, an in-
spiration to the general public who visit
the show, and incidentally an expression
of our good will for the S. A. F., under
whose auspices the national show is being
held.

Send for a schedule, look over your
available blooms, and enter in as many
classes as possible. This will be the best
means of expressing your interest in the
success of the national flower show.
Alfred J. Loveless,
President Chrysanthemum Society of

SOUTHERN EVERGREENS.

"There is a fair crop in the vicinity of
Evergreen, Ala.," says E. A. Beaven.
"High grade southern wild smilax is one
of the several popular greens that are
shipped. This light and graceful decora-
tive is becoming more popular every year,
as freezing does not affect it and it will
keep almost indefinitely in moderate tem-
perature. This stock will last in a deco-
ration a long time and, as it dries green,
it looks well even after it has dried out.
It requires no technical knowledge to
handle it and dealers find it sells to an
advantage to dry goods stores, churches,
bar rooms, hotels, cafes and other large
consumers, as well as to florists for the
better Class of large decorations. This
smilax is packed in six sizes, weighing
from fifteen to fifty pounds. The small-
est package contains enough to cover 100

feet of wall space and the largest 600
feet of surface. The size of the case is
2x2x4 feet. A carload is from seventy
to ninety packages.

"Magnolia foliage is packed in the
same size cases as smilax and contains
from 100 to 600 sprays of the foliage
and brings about the same price. Mag-
nolia leaves for the manufacture of mag-
nolia wreaths are packed in flour barrels
or boxes.

"The holly crop will compare favor-
ably with the quality of other years. The
standard holly package is 2x2x4 feet.

"Long needle pines are regarded as
beautiful as a palm and are practically
indestructible. They stand rough han-
dling and are splendid keepers. They go
forward packed in paper lined barrels,
tops burlaped, containing sixty to 100
pines each, and occupy as much space in

a car as two standard cases. This prod-
uct cannot be stacked, as they will heat
if piled and shipped loose.

"Sabal pine leaves are quoted in sizes
from 24 to 40 inches, with stems from
one to three feet long, and weigh about
forty pounds to the hundred. A stand-
ard case holds about 250 leaves. These
leaves will keep for months if kept in a
cool, damp place, packed in the original
cases. They are used in various ways as
a decorative, giving a most pleasing con-
trast and tropical effect in winter.

"Chamserops palm crowns have the
same keeping quality as sabal leaves.
They are the natural palm plant with
the roots removed and vary in size from
three feet high, with four to six leaves,
to large specimens six to eight feet high,
with twelve to twentv-gix leaves. They
are sold in assorted sizes by the hundred,
averaging in weight about four pounds
each when packed for shipment.

"This section has a reputation for the
fine quality of mistletoe it ships. The
stock is packed in five to ten pound
hampers or boxes. Galax leaves, either

green or bronze, are packed in eases of
10,000. Southern gray moss, sometimes
called Florida moss, is a moss that grows
in large, graceful festoons from the
forest trees in this section and is both a
novelty and beautiful decorative. It is
shipped in 25-pound bags."

COLOR IN MARKET PLANTS.

Among the latest introductions, says
a writer in speaking of the plants offer-
ed at Covent Garden market, London,
the new pink varieties of spiraea attract
most attention. The prices this season
have been too high for ordinary work,
and in most instances the plants have
not been quite up to a high standard of
cultivation. Some growers have formed
rather a bad opinion of them, yet the
same thing occurs with most new intro-
ductions. Taking the plants as seen from
various growers, there has been a con-
siderable difference. In most instances
the variety Peach Blossom has been the
best color, and Queen Alexandra has been
the best in habit of growth and has had
larger spikes of bloom, but they are so
nearly alike that for market purposes
they will simply be called "pink"
spiraeas. In regard to the color, I find
that much depends upon careful atten-
tion to watering, and a regular supply
of manure of moderate strength. It is
a matter that is not often referred to,
but with many plants which vary in
color, it will be found that though sun
and light have a considerable influence,
proper attention to manuring and water-
ing are great factors.

It seems the same with most plants
with pink flowers. Taking the hydran-
geas, the same variety varies consider-
ably from different growers, and 'Ver-
bena Miss Willmott also varies. In some
plants selection for propagating is a
great point, but with the hydrangeas I
have not found that there is any great
advantage, soil and treatment being the
chief factors in the production of color,
and the dwarf plants grown from cut-
tings stuck late in the season, after the
flower buds are set, seem to come the
brightest color.

Much might be written regarding color.
For all market purposes color is of more
importance than perfect form in flowers.
I find that the clear pink is favorite. I
do not know if it is by accident or by
her own selection, but two of the most
popular flowers we have are Verbena
Miss Willmott, and Sweet Pea Miss Will-
mott. In regard to either it will require
something wonderfully good to displace
thorn.

Dietsch V gutter construction, with angle
iron purlins. The houses are also
equipped with the Evans ventilator. At
a recent flower show held in this city, in
connection with the fall festival, Mr.
Gause had an unusually fine exhibit,
which the local papers state would cer-
tainly have won some prizes if classes
had been provided for his entries. He
reports that business during the summer
has been active, his last month's trade
having been exceptionally good.

CARNATION NOTES.— WEST.

Soil for Next Season.

Have you given the matter of soil for
next season any thought? Perhaps you
have been too busy with the stock in
the houses, getting it in shape for the
winter. A good occupation, indeed, but
not the only thing that needs to be
thought of before winter is here, with its
rains, snows and frosts, when the han-
dling of soil is out of the question. The
problem of supplying proper soil for the
carnation benches is one of the most
important ones the grower is confronted
with and is worthy of his best attention.

The grower who begins preparing his
soil the fall before he wants to use it
never finds it necessary, at the last mo-
m^t, to use "any old soil" he may be
able to get hold of. He usually has
first-class soil to use, too. In fact, there
is everything to be gained and nothing
to be lost in preparing the soil in the
fall.

Soil From the Home Place.

If the land from which the soil is to
be taken is on the place, it is a com-
paratively easy matter. Select the par-
ticular spot from whence it is to come
and plow it over, leaving it in as rough
a state as possible. This is to allow the
weather to penetrate it thoroughly, and
to let the frosts kill the weeds, etc., that
were growing on it. A good, heavy sod
makes the ideal soil for compost. Dur-
ing the winter you can haul and spread
on it a good, heavy coat of manure —
about one-fourth as much manure as you
intend to take of the soil. Better not
put this on, however, until the soil has
been well frozen. In the spring the
whole thing will be disked and plowed
until it is thoroughly mixed and pulver-
ized, after which it is to be plowed over
every few weeks until wanted for the
benches. The above is what we would
consider the ideal manner of preparing
soil for the greenhouse.

Soil From a Distance.

If, however, you must have the soil
hauled from a distance, a somewhat dif-
ferent method is necessary and the wis-
dom of fall preparation is even greater
than in the other method, described
above. In this case it must be hauled
and deposited in a pile or rick, piled in
alternate layers with manure. In the
spring this is turned over, mixed and
pulverized and turned over again as often
as possible before it is put into the
benches. This latter method is by far
the more expensive, because all the work

must be done by hand, while in the other
way the work is all done with horse-
power.

In selecting the spot for the compost
pile, be sure you find a place where the
water will drain away properly, or the
bottom of the pile will become soggy
and sour. Also try to get the pile as
handy to the greenhouse entrance as pos-
sible. Much valuable time is often lost
by having the soil pile too far away, thus
making a longer haul when wheeling into
the benches than is necessary. Also get
enough good soil for potting the young
plants this winter, under cover, so that
it can be gotten whenever wanted. We
use hotbed sash for covering this soil,
believing that the light is better for it
than the dark. A. F. J. Baue.

REMEDY FOR RUST.

Will you please send me at once a cure
for carnation rust? I have noticed in
the last few days a good deal in spots.
It is worse on a side bench at the side
ventilators. I bought stock last spring
and noticed some rust on it, but supposed
it would disappear when the stock was
planted out in the field. The carnations
have been benched about six weeks and
the stock is thrifty and nice. I have
been in the business for about fifteen
years here and have never been bothered
with rust before. I bought this place
last fall and had no rust, but I under-
stand that the man who had it the year
before had his carnations ruined with it.
J. E. J.

There is no remedy I know of for
killing rust on carnations that will not
also Mil the plants. The best way is to
prevent its appearance, or spreading.
This can best be done by careful culture,
aided by a few mild measures calculated
to keep conditions unfavorable to its
development. A few years ago we used
a solution of arsenic to spray the plants
with, but while it may have destroyed
the rust, it did also, in a great many
cases, do great damage to the plants.
Now we employ more harmless methods,
with a view to controlling rather than
destroying it.

If the rust is bad in spots, I would
advise you to pick off all the affected
leaves and burn them. Then dust the
plants with grape dust, or sulphur and
lime mixed in equal proportions. Keep
this on several days before syringing it
off, after which more may be dusted on.
Do as little syringing as possible until
you have it under control.

If you heat by steam, a pinch of sul-
phur dropped here and there on the pipes

will help to check the rust. Give all the
ventilation possible at all times without
creating a draught directly on the plants.
In fact, you will find a fresh, dry,
buoyant atmosphere the best preventive
of all such troubles. Like all of them,
this disease requires a humid atmosphere
to be able to develop, and you should
strive to maintain just the opposite in
your houses. The fact that there is
moisture along the side ventilators does
not signify anything, unless you had
them open during chiUy weather, and
gave the plants a check. The variety you
planted there may be more subject to
the disease than those you have pl&nted
on the other beds.

Experienced carnation growers do \ not
fear this disease as much as they do seme
of the others, like fairy ring or stem-rot,
nor as much as they feared it a few
years ago. Some years ago, when the
rust first spread itself over the country
and did a great deal of damage befojre
we learned how to control it, a party of
growers visited a carnation growing
establishment. When they came to a
batch in one of the houses of a variety
quite badly affected with rust, a general
alarm ran through the whole crowd and
one excitable grower tore out of the
house at breakneck speed, and it is said
he never stopped until he reached the
street, for fear he might carry the spores
home in his clothes. As I said before,
we do not fear it that way these days.
Occasionally it gets the upper hand of a
batch of plants, but usually it can be
kept inactive readily enough by careful
culture. A. F. J. B.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

As is usual at this time of year, there
is pressure to sell ferns, but as soon as
room is found for their housing the
anxiety to move stock will cease and a
steady demand will no doubt clean up all
good stock by spring, as it always has.

It appears that a number of people,
in making plans in connection with the
national flower show at Chicago next
month, have overlooked the fact that the
dates vary from the ones chosen when
Chicago has a five-day show. The na-
tional show this year will open Friday,
November 6, and continue to and includ-
ing Saturday, November 14.

OBITUARY.

Julius Schoellner.

Julius Schoellner, of Newark, N. J.,
died October 5, at his home in that city.
He was 63 years old and had been fail-
ing in health for some time. Coming to
Newark from Germany twenty-two years
ago, he was employed by the Prudential
Insurance Co. and was promoted stead-
ily in office until two years ago, when
the state of his health compelled him to
give up his position. Since his retire-
ment from the Prudential, Mr. Schoell-
ner had been a florist and had built up
a prosperous business.

He is survived by a widow, seven chil-
dren and fourteen grandchildren. His
seven children are Julius, Jr., John,
Paul and Fred Schoellner, and Mrs.
Agnes Brown, Mrs. Antonia Crasser and
Mrs. Nellie Schafer.

Henry Glins.

Henry Glins died October 8, at his
home in Cincinnati. While Mr. Glins
was but 49 years old, still he had been
in the florists' business for so many
years that he was considered one of the
old florists of the city. His store was

in the Over-the-Rhine district, which is
so well known to all visitors to Cincin-
nati. His loss is mourned by a host of
fellow-workers and friends.

Mrs. Anna M. Semmler.

Mrs. Anna M. Semmler, of Belleville,
111., died October 8, aged 81 years. She
was the widow of Michael Semmler, a
pioneer florist of that place, and she
conducted the first flower store in Belle-
ville. / • \ J

^ CHICAGO.

^ The Great Central Market.

Conditions have not changed materially
since last report. The pronounced short-
ening of stock and simultaneous increase
in the demand, which were reported last
week, were not expected to influence the
market for so long, but were still holding
the market up at the opening of this
week.

The shortage has all along been most
pronounced in carnations and it has
been a source of surprise the way these
flowers held off and the heights to which
the price was forced, and held, by a
demand which apparently cannot be sat-
isfied with any other stock. It cannot
yet be said that any large part of the
carnations are of first-class quality and
the prices of practically all grades are
above their real worth; but the buyers
insist, and all the wholesaler can do is to
take the money. It is not possible to
fill all orders, although it is expected
every day that tomorrow will see a
large increase in the cut, or a pronounced

falling off in the demand, either of which
will produce a slump in prices.

The chrysanthemum season at last is
fairly upon us. The receipts increased
materiall-y toward the end of last week
and now it is possible to fill all orders.
The earlier varieties, in the hands of
some of the most successful growers, are
already fairly well cut out and the better
mid-season sorts are beginning to make
their appearance. With the increased
supply, prices have taken quite a fall,
but there still is a first-clasa demand for
mums and values are fully u^ to what
they usually are at this date for the
same grades; the early sorts did better
than usual and the growers of these havft
no reason whatever for complaint. In
fact, this market congratulates itself on
the business of the last couple of weeks;
it has been excellent, and the volume of
sales will show an increase now that
mums can be sold in quantity at moderate
prices.

The influx of mums and the reduction
in prices has affected the market for
long Beauties, which had been selling

specially well heretofore. While the
receipts of long Beauties have not in-
creased to any special extent, they are
much slower sale and the prices are
weakening. This is not an unusual state
of affairs during chrysanthemum season.
The shorter grades of Beauties continue
in first-class demand and cleaning up
well.

There is a good call for Killarney,
which is the most popular rose in this
market. Richmond is in full crop and
some superlative stock is seen, but it
sells slowly compared to Killarney. Bride
and Maid are not in so heavy supply, nor
is the quality so good. There is a brisk
call for short roses for funeral work,
because carnations are so scarce, but
Bride of good length is slow sale, and
there continue to be quite fair quantities
of Kaiserin. Not nearly so many Chate-
nay are seen as was the case a year ago.

In the last few days violets have sold
quite well. The quality has improved,
but is not yet first-class. The whole-
salers a-re inclined to deal quite gener-
ously with the buyers of violets, because

it is anticipated this market will be
heavily supplied this year and everyone
handling them is anxious to encourage
the use of violets.

Orchids are quite abundant and prices
weaker; the fall crop of labiata is at the
full. Valley is scarcer and the lower
grade has gone up a notch. Easter lilies
alse are good property and fetching bet-
ter prices. Not much other stock is in
the market. There is no special call for
greens.

Various Notes*
. Of all the oddities seen in the mar-
ket, probably the strangest is the one
Mrs. Beu has shown at her stand in the
Flower Growers' market — Teddy bears
made of burs. As an evidence of how
excited the town is over the Cubs, Mrs.
Beu actually sold for real money over
thirty of the bur bears in a couple of
days of last week.

It is reported that the responsible
Greek merchants of Chicago are forming
an association for the purpose of estab-
lishing Greek credit. The details are not
definitely known, but it is supposed to
be on the order of guaranteeing the
accounts of all members of the associa-
tion, with the darkest sort of Greek ven-
geance for one so devoid of honor as to
"stick" the association.

E. C. Amling says that if the season
continues as well as it has begun he will
be more than satisfied. October thus far
hasHbeen better than ever with him, and
September was ahead of hi&t year.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. is building a new
soil-mixing machine, to operate by elec-
tricity. Plant B is being wired through-
out for electric light and power. Ground
is being leveled and all the material on

the site for thirteen of the new houses,
which it is expected to have.^ ready to ,
plant by February and March.

Kennicott Bros. Co. has a quantity of
wild smilax now in cold storage, but says
there never is anything to be made on
the first car; it is after the stock has
become hard and the weather cold enough
so it can be handled without special care
that the profit is made.

Fred Stollery has returned*- from his
vacation of nine weeks spent at the old
home in Suffolk, seventy miles from Lon-
don, in England. He spent a month in
London.

The E. F. "Winterson Co. reports good
business in Dutch bulbs. The wholesale
demand cleaned up the importations in
good shape, leaving just enough to take
care of the retail trade. The store is
thronged with buyers every cold day,
but as soon as the sun shines and it
becomes warm the buyers seem to forget
all about fall planting.

Scheiden & Schoos have decided to
name their red seedling carnation Wil-
liam Howard Taft. It looks like an
attempt to pick the winner.

Wietor Bros, report perfectly satisfac-
tory results with October Frost chrysan-
themums again this year. Not every
grower seems able to handle this variety.

Vaughan & Sperry say there has been
a pronounced improvement in. the de-
mand for violets this week.

The A. L. Bandall Co. has jusi sent
out its second general supply catalogue,
considerably enlarged as compared with
the first one.

George Eeinberg is on his annual trip
to South Dakota.

ceived over 500 Cattleya labiata October
9 and says they cleaned up nicely.

D. E. Freres comments on the fact
that Killarney sells so much better than
Richmond.

C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, is
taking an active interest in the Little
Rock, Ark., flower show, of which he is
to be a judge November 11 to 13, and
is finding many exhibits for it among his
friends.

In the height of the aster glut the
E. F. Winterson Co. sent a lot of the
stock to a public cold storage warehouse,
where some of the flowers remained
thirty days, coming out in such shape
that a part were salable.

mann, the flower show entertainment
committee held a meeting at the Union
last week. The sub-committee on ban-
quet reported that arrangements have
been made with the Auditorium for Tues-
day evening, November 10.

Mrs. W. E. Horton is again on duty
with Bassett & Washburn, after an all-
summer's rest. Mrs. Horton has been
with the firm ever since it began selling
its own stock, and is widely known in
the trade.

Webster Randall, with his wife, has
gone to Michigan to spend a vacation of
two or three weeks on his brother's fruit
farm.

Percy Jones says that the Garland
boys, at Des Plaines, have been specially
fortunate in cutting a fine crop of car-
nations in the past fortnight of high

It is stated tha* the Horticultural
Society of Chicago intends this year to
embark on a new venture. A series of
monthly flower shows and lectures on
horticultural topics will be given in the
Art Institute. Announcements of the lec-
ture schedule will be forthcoming shortly.
The shows will be displays of an after-
noon and evening, open to members of
the society and to , the general public.
The quarterly meeting was held at the
Art Institute October 13.

To obtain the co-operation of the news-
paper owners of Chicago, and presidents
of park boards in the national flower
show, President W. E. Kelley, of the
Horticultural Society of Chicago', will

give a luncheon in the Union League
Club October 22. A list of daily news-
paper editors prepared by James Keeley
will be invited, as well as the park presi-
dents and directors of the Horticultural
Society.

Chicago wholesalers should be inter-
ested in a card enclosed with a letter

custom adopted by the wholesale florists
of Cleveland, all flowers will go forward

promptly when due each month succeed-
ing purchase. Packing and delivery at
cost,"

The Market

Business is good. The demand seems
to hold up well and the buyers are in
the market early. They pick up in a
hurry all of the good stock that comes
in, and even the poorer grades are
cleaned out before the day is over. It
would look as if the regular fall trade
had opened up to stay, and it is to be
hoped that such is the case.

The arrival of the mum in large quan-
tities is doubtless the cause of the in-
crease in business, and the fact that
the stores can get them in almost any
quantities has a great deal to do with it.
There can be no question but that the
flower*^ buyers always wait for the ar-

rival of the mum, as a sort of signal
that the flower season is on, and then
they start in with a rush to make up
for the time they have lost during the
summer. Mums have been selling well
so far this season and the price ob-
tained for them has been all that could
be desired. Glory of the Pacific and
Polly Rose are still standards for early
white and pink. Quite a number of Oc-
tober Frost have been received in this
market, but the best that can be said
for it, as grown by the average grower,
is that it is a frost. In yellow, Mon-
rovia takes the lead and it is a good
thing. At present it tops the market
in price, bringing $3 per dozen for all
that come in. Several growers are in
with small mums, which find a ready
sale in this market, which takes kindly
to the cheaper grades.

In roses we are well supplied, with
Beauties taking the lead and selling the
best. White roses also aTe in good de-
mand. Carnations are scarce, and while
for a time it looked as if the supply was
going to increase, the increase has failed
to materialize as yet. The first Baby
primroses of the season arrived last
week and were quickly snapped up, as
this market is short on small flowers.
Some fine longiflorum lilies find a ready
market. Lily of the valley is also good
property.

Philadelphia has always had a repu-
tation for its Beauties, and our stock
lives up to this reputation.

COSMOS

$6.00 Per 1000

For decorating, where a large effect
is desired at a small cost, nothing is
so appropriate as Cosmos. We are
offering the late variety, fine, long
stemmed stock, in pink, white and red.

CHRYSANTHEMIMS

$10.00 Per 100 and up

We can furnish all the standard
varieties, due as the season advances.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

The consensus of opinion is that
founders' we^ek had no effect on the cut
flower business in general. It is summed
up in this way: The additional enter-
tainments and decorations in the hotels
and restaurants were counterbalanced by
the loss in transient trade.

This week has opened better, with
brisker demand, both shipping and local,
especially the former. The quantity of
stock coming into town, however, pre-
cludes the possibility of anything but a
buyer's market. The feature of the situa-
tion which stands out most prominently
is the increase in the number of chrysan-
themums. Conservative judges estimate
that every grower who sent in one flower
at this time last year is sending in two
today. The result is extraordinarily low
prices, which are the more noteworthy
when the quality of the stock is consid-
ered. It has, as is well known, been an
extraordinary growing season, and this
fact is clearly shown by the wonderfully

high grade of nearly all the chrysanthe-
mums now coming in.

Cattleyas have become so plentiful that
the price has fallen, bringing more buy-
ers into the market for this rich flower,
hundreds being sold where dozens were
used formerly. American Beauties are
fine and plentiful. They are selling
fairly well. Valley is in splendid de-
mand, the consumption being heavy.
(Jarnations have fallen off a little. Im-
mense quantities of dahlias, of the show-
iest varieties, were being sold until heavy
frost October 12 did serious injury.

Dendrobium formosum can only be
obtained in small quantities, but oncid-
iums are plentiful. Harrisii lilies are in
moderate supply. Callas, bouvardia, and
mignonette have made their appearance.
The last is fine. Cosmos was never
better. Immense quantities of superb
blooms on stems ranging from two to
three feet in length go begging, there
being no demand proportionate to the
supply. Double violets are improving in
quality, and can be shipped anywhere.
There is no change in the rose situation.
Asters and gladioli are over. Greens are
in moderate demand.

The Historical Pageant.

The receipts of the Bapid Transit Co.
Friday, October 9, exceeded $77,000, the
largest receipts in the history of the com-
pany. This was due to its being His-
torical day in founders' week. The his-
torical pageant, the feature of that day,
may be safely chronicled as Philadel-
phia's proudest achievement of a week of
triumphs. A little bit of history in con-
nection with this parade will be of in-
terest to all members of the profession.
Exactly ten weeks before J. J. Haber-
mehl's Sons, the well known florists and
decorators, of Twenty-second and Dia-
mond streets and the Bellevue-Stratfordi
hotel in this city, signed a contract to'
furnish all of the sixty-eight tableaux
and floats required in the procession. To
execute their contract -the decorators
secured the use of the buildings formerly
operated by a brick-making company on
York road near Hunting park. The

fifty to sixty workmen were kept con-
stantly employed under the superintend-
ence of John P. and Edward Habermehl.
Dr. Oberholzer, director of the pageant;
Miss Violet Oakley, an artist of renown,
and Henry Kambierschee were largely
instrumental in planning the artistic
details of the work. The result, as
everyone admits, was a wealth of beauty
and color never before equaled here, or
probably anywhere else. Every historic
detail was carefully planned and exe-
cuted. Carpenters, workers in plaster of
paris, painters, artists, all worked to-
gether to produce the wonderful results
seen on Broad street October 9. Great
credit is due J. J. Habermehl's Sons for
the magnificent success that crowned
their efforts.

Two Gold Mines.

The Eetailer's.— J. "William Colflesh,
the successful West Philadelphia florist,
attended the October meeting of the
Florists' Club for the purpose of voting
for George Craig, who so kindly relieved
him of the responsibility of the treasury
portfolio a year ago. It is not often
that Mr. Colflesh comes east of Thirtieth
street after dark, but the combined at-
tractions of the annual election and
founders' week illumination were strong
magnets. Mr. Colflesh is not a talker

and, like most men of few words, what
he says is usually well worth hearing.
On this occasion Mr. Colflesh remarked
sententiously to the floral luminary next
him, "You have a little gold mine." A
bystander questioned him as to his mean-
ing, eliciting information that flowers
are cheap this season and the retailer
could buy them at low prices and charge
his customers just what he pleased. The
gold mine, in fact, is right in his store.

The Grower 's. — A. contented looking
grower paused on Eleventh street just
north of the store of Kobert Crawford,
Jr., to pass the time of day with a
friend. "I have been bringing my flow-
ers into town all summer," he said; "busi-
ness is fair and I am satisfied. You
see," the speaker added reflectively, "I
am not wholly dependent on my green-
houses, because I have a little stone
quarry out on my place that pays me a
royalty which yields me a very comfort-
able income each year, with excellent
prospects of a continuance."

So, you see, there really are little gold
mines on both sides of the fence.

Various Notes.

The Henry F. Miehell Co. scored a
triumph with its float seen in the indus-
trial parade October 7. This float was
described in the Eeview of September
17. Philip Freud was given an ovation

throughout almost the entire length of
Broad street as he rode in the procession
with his beautiful creation.

John Cook, of Baltimore, sent some
fine blooms of his new rose, My Mary-
land, to W. E. McKissick recently.

Frank Gould, gardener to John T.
Morris, read a paper on dahlias before
the Germantown Horticultural Society
October 12.

M. Kice & Co. report a number of
visitors who called during founders' week.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. received many
cases of supplies by the steamer Manitou.

The only noteworthy addition to the
list of chrysanthemums given last week
is Tint of Gold, seen at the store of
Berger Bros. October 12.

Lilley & Upton opened as scheduled
October 12, but so anxious were some of
their growers to begin shipping that •
flowers began coming in fully five days
earlier. Mr. Upton says that the stock
has been cleaning up nicely.

Mrs. A. M. Briel, Baltimore, Md., and
William F. Gude, Washington, D. C,
were among the visitors here during
founders' week.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The wholesale cut flower market held
its own well last week, notwithstanding
the fact that the mercury registered
from 70 to 80 degrees every day. There
is plenty of everything one could wish
and most of it has cleaned up nicely,
but in order to do this the wholesalers
realize that prices must be kept so that
the public will be able to reach them,
and the result is that there have been
no high prices.

Beauties, chrysanthemums and roses
are the stock which is most plentiful.
Carnations are still far short of the de-
mand.

The retail merchants all report a
slight increase in business, but say they
are selling cheaper than ever before at
this time and that it is impossible to
sell anything in the way of high-priced
stock. They consider it better business
to keep things moving and to keep more
life in trade, even if the profits are less,
than to try to stand for prices such as
they have been accustomed to get.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists" Club met Tuesday even-
ing, October 6. Two new members were
elected. A report from the float com-
mittee was read and the committee con-
tinued, with authority to solicit subscrip-
tions to pay expenses. A vote of thanks
was also given to the members of the
committee for their services.

The club decided to hold a field day,
or, rather, it should have been called a
visiting day. All members of the club
are requested to meet at Schenley con-
servatories on Tuesday, November 3, at
10:30 a. m. After taking in all the
good things there, they will go to Ran-
dolph & McClements' Stanton avenue
greenhouses, where a lunch will be one
of the features. After leaving there,
the private places will take up the bal-
ance of the day until dark. Do not miss
this.

After the regular business had been
disposed of, the subject of the evening
was taken up, "Garden Flowers and
Orchids."

Flower Garden," but, owing to the dry
weather and frost, there was only one
exhibitor, James Weisman, who showed
poppies, carnations, scabiosa and lark-
spur, for which he received the prize.

Dr. Schaffer offered a prize of $10 for
the best three orchid plants and there
were two competitors — David Fraser,
gardener for H. C. Frick, and Mr.
Crooks, gardener for James H. Parks.
The judges, Wm. Falconer and P, S.
Randolph, not being able to decide on a
winner, divided the prize.

Henry Negley exhibited a fine collec-
tion of about ten varieties of the
choicest cypripediums, cattleya and On-
cidium splendidum.

Mr. Hutchinson, gardener for Dr.
Schaffer, then gave an interesting talk
on his collection.

Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia, sent

a specimen plant of the new fern, Neph-
rolepis Scholzeli, the new crested Scottii,
which was highly commended by every-
one; also his new white show dahlia and
a collection of fine single varieties.

Randolph & McClements exhibited a
new yellow chrysanthemum, a sprout off
Polly Rose. With all the habits of the
parent and a canary yellow in color, it
was thought to be a good thing, coming
as a good early.

The meeting closed in peace and har-
mony at 10:30, and those members who
were not present missed something.

Various Notes.

Randolph & McClements had the deco-
ration for the dinner given at the Du-
quesne Club to Mrs. Longworth, who was

day.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

There was not much to brag about as
to the business done last week. Those
who handled plants were busy with dec-
orations for fall openings of department
stores. There were a few small weddings
and a limited amount of funeral work.
Some of the leading florists say there is
plenty of room for improvement. The
\ weather has been favorable, cool and
clear, but not as yet a heavy frost. The
wholesale houses have been loaded down '
with roses and the high priced grades
seem to move slowly. Even Beauties
were slow sale. Carnations have been in
good demand. These are not overplen-
tiful and anything that is choice is
cleaned up daily.

Chrysanthemums are not yet plentiful,
but there is no great demand for them
as yet. More are promised for this
week. A few good California violets are
coming in, but not fancy enough to bring
anything like a fair price. Cosmos is
becoming plentiful and cheap. Extra
good valley is in the market.

The increased sale for roses and chrys-
anthemums expected for the Veiled
Prophets' ball Tuesday, October 6, failed
to materialize. Those who laid in an
extra supply say that the demand for this
occasion was not half that of former
years.

The growers were busy last week tak-
ing in outdoor stock and potting chrys-
anthemum plants. Nearly all of them
will have some extra fine pot plants this
season.

Qttb Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting in the old rooms at Eleventh and
Locust streets, October 8, with a fair
attendance. President W. C. Young pre-
sided. The trustees were given power
to select a new meeting hall. A. W. Mur-
ray, retail florist on Easton avenue, made
application for membership. Ten appli-
cations were voted on and nine received
favorable ballots and were declared mem-
bers. They were as follows: Julius
Koenig, William H. Ossic, Louis Mourer,
J. H. Kahrs, O. H. J. Landel, T. P. Barr-
man, L. W. Spangler, L, W. Schviever,

John Steidel, state vice-president of
the S. A. F., will meet with the trustees
of the club next week to arrange for
transportation for the members who will
attend the national flower show to be
held at Chicago. Quite a delegation from
here is expected to make the trip.

The proposition to change the meetings
from afternoon to evening led to quite a
discussion. On vote it was decided that
alternate months the club will meet at
night, so as to give the employees a
chance to attend the meetings.

W. C. Smith read his paper, "In What
Way Socially can the Members of this
Club Be Brought Closer Together?" which
was well received. It contained many
good points, on which the trustees were
instructed to work the coming season.
For the good of the club, H. C. Ostertag,
chairman of the trustees, announced that
a florists' bowling club will be organized
and that all florists who care to may be-
come members. The meetings will be at
the Marquette hotel alleys, Eighteenth
and Washington avenue, Monday nights.

The next meeting of the club will take
place Thursday night, November 12, at
8 o'clock, in a new meeting room, which
will be announced later. The meeting
adjourned to a nearby cafe for refresh-
ments.

Various Notes.

Henry Emunds and E. W. Guy, of
Belleville, were callers last week. Both
say business is picking up, with quite a
lot of funeral work.

Thomas W. Merritt, nurseryman of
Grandview, Tenn., was found by the po-
lice wandering the streets in a dazed con-
dition Wednesday, October 7. He had in
liis possession $50 in cash and $500 in
certified checks and said he was on his
way to California. He was held until
his wife arrived from Grandview to take
him home.

Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood, is sending
Smith & Co. a lot of good California

The Market.

Perfect fall weather, -vfith a temper-
ature of 40 degrees, greeted the opening
of the week, but there is little life in
the cut flower market. The prices, Oc-
tober 12, were disappointing. Selected
Beauties brought as little as $12 a hun-
dred. This is a tumble with a vengeance.
Roses of all varieties are down. Only
a novelty like White Killarney dares to
demand over 5 cents. The majority of
the specials of Maid and Bride never get
above 4 cents. They won't while the
flood of chrysanthemums continues. It
may be of interest to note the varieties
of roses coming to the market. Ernst
Asmus & Son are the authority and they
know, for they send them. In addition
to the above are Testout, Cusin, Morgan,
Queen Beatrice, Golden Gate, Chatenay,
Killarney, Richmond, Hoste, Deegen,
Sunrise, Kaiserin and "White Killarney.

Chrysanthemums are coming in num-
bers and perfection beyond all expecta-
tions. In consequence, prices are far be-
low last year at this time and the retail
windows tell the story of low cost and
profusion, for they are everywhere beau-
tifully decorated and the city is a ver-
itable flower garden, for there is a mum
show on nearly every .block from Har-
lem to the Battery. The Beauty has felt
the invasion of the mum the most, as its
price now indicates.

Dahlias continue to arrive in great
abundance, and in fine condition. The
delay of frost has made them a profit-
able crop this season and the new single

and cactus kinds have been popular and
satisfactorily marketed.

Carnations grow longer and larger
every day and prices are steady. Cosmos
is plentiful and perfect. Orchids are
here again in beauty and variety.

Violets look like themselves at last.
Prices are improving with quality, but
it will take some time to raise them to
the place they ought to occupy.

The autumn weddings are about due.
The society columns are full of an-
nouncements. Some of the retailers al-
ready show their bookings with cheerful
faces. In fact, everywhere the tone is
one of hopeful expectancy and faith in
the return of public confidence and en-
terprise.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its monthly
meeting October 12, President Weathered
in the chair. The crowd was fully up to
the average, and the exhibits many and
varied. Charles H. Totty exhibited eight
fine mums, which were given suitable
recognition. A pink sport of Glory of
Pacific, exhibited by Samuel Cockburn &
Sons, Woodlawn, N. Y., received a vote
of thanks. White and pink pompon
chrysanthemums, by Hartman & Wagen-
fohr, of Woodside, L. I., received a cul-
tural certificate. Carnation Georgia, by
J. D. Cockcroft, of Northport, L. I., was
given a preliminary certificate. A new
blue salvia from Joseph A. Manda
gained for him a vote of thanks. Honey-
suckles and roses from Conard & Jones,
West Grove, Pa., also earned for them a
vote of thanks.

Resolutions on the death of A. B. Rose
and Alexander Wallace were read.

P. O'Mara reported for the transporta-
tion committee, with a surplus from the
amount voted for the S. A. F. conven-
tion. The committee was discharged with
thanks and immediately reappointed to
arrange for the trip to the flower show in
Chicago. A special sleeper is to be pro-
vided and assurance of an attendance of
ten was made. Doubtless this number
will be doubled, and all intending to go
are requested to send their names at once
to Secretary John Young.

L. W. Kervan and Ambrose Cleary
were elected to membership, and William
Godhart, S. E. Briner and C. W. Scott
nominated.

In response to the request of the na-
tional flower show committee, President
Weathered appointed as judges Messrs.
C. H, Totty, of Madison; William Eccles,
of Oyster Bay, and Harry Turner, of
Port Washington.

Will Rickards spoke in behalf of a
smoker or stag entertainment at the No-
vember meeting and the club heartily
approved of the proposition and left to
the committee the selection of a special
evening for the purpose other than the
regular club night. Mr. Young distrib-
uted schedules of the New York flower
show in November, and also gave notice
of a motion at the next meeting to reduce
the club's life membership fee to $50.

Mr. Marshall spoke for the new bowl-
ing club. Harry Bunyard gave an inter-
esting and amusing account of his visit
to England.

The lecturer of the evening, Antoine
Wintzer, of West Grove, Pa., was ac-
corded a warm welcome and a hearty
vote of thanks for his address on "Hardy
Clematis and Other Climbers," which

appears in full in this issue of the
Review. It was followed by discussion.

Various Notes.

B. J. Slinn, Jr., reports W. H. Hay,
of Montreal and Ottawa, a visitor in
New York.

It looks as if the wholesale florists
will gradually absorb aU the ground
floors and first stories on West Twenty-
eighth street, from Broadway to Seventh
avenue, and almost every interest congp-e-
gates on this street. Bumor says the
big building now being erected between
Sixth and Seventh avenues is to have a
cut flower company as its control.

Quite a large delegation from New
York will attend the national flower
show in Chicago, November 6. It would
be well if those intending to make the
trip would send word to President
Traendly in advance. Much interest is
already manifested by exhibitors and a
great success is universally hoped for,
because its triumph means a repetition
in New York.

Harry Gessner, the Imperial florist, is
well pleased with his locatijon and has
made a success of the venture from the
start.

The new wholesaler, Nicholas C.
Schreiner, opens Thursday, October 15,
at 41 West Twenty-eighth street. The

Bowling Club showed its good will and
confidence last Wednesday by making
him treasurer. He is a member of the
New York Tlorists' Club and the S. A. F.

M. A. Bowe's windows were aflame
Monday with orchids in baskets, and a
fine assortment of the large mums.

Lyman B. Craw, of the Lord & Burn-
ham Co., speaks glowingly of his four
weeks' western trip and shows plainly
the benefit of the glorious air and cli-
mate of Colorado.

Alfred Puttrman, for twelve years
with Gunther Bros., and Miss Brenner
will be married October 20.

The engagement is announced of Miss
Anna Levitt, bookkeeper for Alex. J.
Guttman, and S. Wolff, a prominent
manufacturer on Broadway.

George C. Simms, formerly with
Charles Thorley, is now with John Bang
Duer, on Madison avenue.

George Saltford has accepted appoint-
ment as judge at the Tarrytown flower
show November 5.

Myer, on Madison avenue, had the pink
mum decoration for the Powell-McGoey
wedding last week, at the Church of
the Heavenly Best, and some elaborate
funeral designs from the official staff at
General Fitzgerald's obsequies. New
signs and decorations make the store
thoroughly up-to-date and the conserva-

tories have absorbed all the twenty-foot
palms secured at the EUiott-Biltmore
auction.

The monthly meeting of the Horticul-
tural Society of New York was held
October 14, at the Museum of National
History, where the flower show will take
place November 17 to 20,

Stumpp & Walter Co. carried off the
blue ribbon last week for their display
of bulbs at the Danbury, Conn., fair.

The fall shows are close at hand and
unfortunately several of them in this vi-
cinity find it impossible to make the
dates harmonize. November 5, for in-
stance, they will be running at top speed
at Tarrytown, N. '^♦f Bed Bank, N. J.;
Glen Cove, L. L, and Hartford, Conn.
Madison has October 29 and 30 all to
itself and the big attendance of the trade
is thereby assured.

C. H. Totty and Wm. Duckham, of
Madison, were in the city October 10.

J. J. Coan, the manager of the Grow-
ers' Cut Flower CO., at 39 West Twenty-
eighth street, is delighted with the open-
ing send-off accorded him.

Auctions continue at the marts on
Vesey street every Tuesday and Friday.
The retailers responded well to the op-
portunity for stocking up with decorative
palms. Cleary's boxwood is arriving,

A petition in bankruptcy has been

houses, fences, etc., at 34 Fulton street,
by these creditors: Henry W. Utter,
$375 on an assigned claim of the Car-
negie Trust Co.; Warren L. Samson,
$1,175 on an assigned claim of the Car-
negie Trust Co., and Arthur White, $38.
It was alleged that the company ia in-
solvent, made preferential payments and
transferred merchandise and accounts
$1,000. Judge Holt appointed Lawrence
B. Cohen receiver, bond $2,500. Liabil-
ities are estimated at $15,000 and assets
$5,000. The business has been estab-
lished over twenty-five years and has been
carried on by this corporation since Jan-
uary 18, 1905, when it was incorporated
with capital stock of $10,000. The re-
ceiver obtained leave from Judge Holt
to continue the business for thirty days,
as the company has some good contracts
on hand. The company has done work
for some wealthy people, and its trouble
is due to inability to collect outstanding
accounts from swme of them. The com-
pany has a plant at Peekskill.

To Mrs. Lulu Small, wife of Charles

BOSTON.

The Market

The improvement, which came a week
ago, only lasted for two or three days
and conditions are again the reverse of
satisfactory. It was hoped that the ces-
sation in supplies of asters and other
outdoor flowers would galvanize some life
into the business and much disappoint-
ment is felt at the way flowers are sell-
ing. One day business is fairly good,
while on the next it is the reverse. Chrys-
anthemums are now in abundant supply
and are already too numerous for the
demand. Prices for these have sunk to
unusually low figures. While a few ex-
tras may make $1.50 to $2 per dozen,
many go at $3 to $4 per hundred. The
most abundant varieties are now Glcry
of the Pacific and Polly Rose. Others
seen are October Frost, Monrovia and
Golden Glow, with a few Montmort, and
Rosiere, a good pink.

Roses continue to improve. In addi-
tion to Beauties, there are good lots of
Chatenay, Killarney and Richmond com-
ing in, while Brides and Maids are of
fair quality. Sales for these continue

rather unsatisfactory. Carnations are
not selling as they should, only a few
reaching $2 per hundred, others selling
as low as 50 cents. Violets average 50
cents per hundred for the best. Some
good lilies are coming in. Asters are
nearing the end and gladioli and sweet
peas are both over for the season.

Ezhibitioiu

The annual fruit and vegetable show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, October 10 and 11, was an excel-
lent one, the exhibits being of an un-
usually high grade. Among the fruit
exhibits, Ellwanger & Barry had a large
cellection of pears and L. E. Smith, of
Annapolis, Nova Scotia, had a display
of finely grown apples which were a
noteworthy feature. The most merito-
rious exhibit in the show was the exten-
sive collection of berry-bearing trees and
shrubs from the Boston park depart-
ment, which well merited the silver medal
awarded. Specially fine were the fol-
lowing: Symplocos crataegoides, Sym-
phoricarpos racemosus, Crataegus Arkan-
sana, C. Oxyacantha, C. punctata, yellow

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited the
estate of W. S. & J. T. Spaulding, F. E.
€ole gardener, at Beverly, October 7.
Great improvements are being made on
land recently acquired. The extensive
vegetable houses contained a wide range
of varieties grown for winter use. Large
rose gardens, formal gardens and other
features are being developed under a
competent landscape architect at great
expense. ■ The committee also visited the
rose garden of Mrs. Harriet D. Foote,
Marblehead, where hundreds of varieties
of hardy sorts are grown, hybrid teas
doing especially well, and were kindly
entertained by C. W. Parker after an in-
spection of that gentleman's estate, Red-
gate; Marblehead.

H. F. Calder, of Norwood, is bringing
in remarkably fine flowers of Campbell
violets for so early in the season.

At the meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, October 20, the speaker
of the evening will be William Downs,
vice-president of the club, on the subject
of "Fruit Culture Under Glass.". There
will be interesting exhibits of chrysan-
themums, carnations and other season-
able flowers.

Indications now point to a successful
chrysanthemum show November 6 to 9.

OCTOBKB 15, 1908.

Vegetable Forcing.

MUSHROOMS AND RHUBARB. ,

I have just erected a greenhouse,
25x75, to be used for general stock, and
I wish to know if I can grow mushrooms
successfully under the west bench and
rhubarb under the east bench. The house
runs north and south. If so, would you
recommend U. S. spawn and when should
it be started? H. W. W.

If there are no heating pipes under
the bench where you intend to grow the
mushrooms, there is no reason why they
could not be grown successfully. But,
seeing it is an outside bench you mention
as the one you want to use, in all prob-
ability the heating pipes will run under
it. In this case the drying heat from
the pipes would prove too much for
mushrooms, as one of the most essential
conditions to their successful culture is
a moist atmosphere. If the spawn' is
fresh, the kind you mention can be relied
on to give good results. You may start
any time from now on to the beginning
of March.

Ehubarb would also be better under a
bench where there are no heating pipes,
but it could be grown otherwise by hav-
ing boards between the roots and the
pipes and keeping the roots as far away
from the heat as possible, providing they
are kept well watered.

William Scott.

TOMATOES AND LETTUCE.

Can tomatoes and lettuce be grown at
a profit in a house 25x100 feet for win-
ter trade when we have good demand for
them? In other words, will tomatoes
bear well in the winter months in a
greenhouse and what degree of heat
should I keep? Tennessee soil and no
zero weather. H. H. C.

Lettuce and tomatoes require different
houses, or a partition in the house, so
that they may each have their proper
temperature, which is very important.
Lettuce requires a night temperature of
45 degrees and tomatoes a night tempera-
ture of 65 degrees. The temperature in
the daytime runs about 15 degrees high-
er, providing the weather is bright, but if
the weather is cloudy or stormy and
dark, the temperature should be kept
down accordingly. Many growers make
the mistake of trying to make up for the
dark weather by putting on a few de-
grees more heat, and thereby injure their
crops.

A house 25x100 would be best in one
crop only^ either tomatoes or lettuce;
either will do well if properly cared for.
Tomatoes will pay the best, if well done,
but are more difficult to handle and it
might be well to try a small number of
plants first, before going into it too
heavily. Tomatoes in winter sell for
20 cents to 40 cents per pound and
should average 25 cents to be profitable.
The outdoor varieties are not suitable
for forcing. Hothouse varieties are
smaller and more prolific. Comet is con-
sidered the best variety for use in green-
houses. One row of plants to a bench,
three to four feet wide, is all that should
be planted. If the bench is nearly six
feet wide two rows may be put in. The
plants should be one foot apart and all
branches and the points of the leaves
where they overlap cut off before they

best, like a single-stem chrysanthemum.
The fruit grows from the main stalk,
which should have a cluster on it for
every three leaves. H. G.

LETTUCE THAT WILL NOT HEAD

Will you please tell me how to get the
Big Boston lettuce to head? I have had
some trouble getting it to head. I have
used barnyard fertilizer. If there is a
good commercial fertilizer for lettuce,
will you please publish it? P. W. M.

Not knowing the general conditions and
the cultural methods employed, it is im-
possible for me to say just why the let-
tuce does not head up. It may not be
doing well for several reasons. The
plants may be diseased, too close together
or not the variety you think you have.
The seed should be purchased of only
reliable seedsmen. The plants should be
transplanted twice, the last time about
eight inches apart, and if in good, loose
soil and carefully watered, they should
grow rapidly and be headed up and sold
before the tenth week , is gone, after
planting the seed.

If any further trouble is encountered,
send more particulars and I will try to
give the desired information.

As to fertilizer, there is nothing better
than well rotted barnyard manure, well
forked into the soil before planting the
crop, but an application of nitrate of
soda is beneficial. Dissolve about a 3-inch
potful in a barrel of water, and water
the plants with it about once a week, in-
stead of using pure water on that day.

38 years old and unmarried.

FOUNDERS' WEEK AT DREER'S.

The accompanying illustrations are
reproduced from photographs showing
the decorations of the Chestnut street
establishment of Henry A. Dreer during
the celebration of founders' week in
Philadelphia.

The window decorations were interest- .
ing to many strangers on their way down
Chestnut street to visit Independence hall
and other places of historic interest in
which this neighborhood abounds. The
colors used in these decorations were blue
and gold, which are the city colors. In
the floral window hardy larkspur was
used for blue and yellow dahlias for gold,
tastefully arranged so that each color
would show distinctly. The vegetable
window displayed pumpkins and squashes
of golden yellow and dark green, the
nearest they could come to blue. Many
large and heavy specimens were used,
each tagged showing weight, and this
feature proved especially interesting to
the many persons who stopped to look at
the display. A large show card painted
in blue and gold bore the words, "Some
Pumpkins."

The photograph showing the windows
was taken late at night, with no other
light than the ordinary electric lights in
the windows, and has been pronounced
an excellent piece of night photography.

THE CROPS.

The government's October crop report

shows that the corn crop shrank, in the

estimates, 54,000,000 bushels since the

September report and is likely to be

some 48,000,000 bushels less than the

1907 outturn. The report shows:

PEAS, BEANS AND OTHER CROPS.

Arthur B. Clark, president of the
Everett B. Clark Seed Co., writes as
follows from East Jordan, Mich., under
date of October 9:

"We can now make a fairly intelligent
report on the 1908 crop of peas, as a
fair portion of our crop is already in
store. While we have very few deliveries
of beans, we think we are able to esti-
mate pretty well the outcome of that
crop.

"Our crop of peas, taking both Wis-
consin and Michigan together, is just
about a counterpart of the 1907 crop.
There is this difference, however, that
the Michigan crop is somewhat better
this year than a year ago, while the
Wisconsin crop is less than a year ago,
the average of the two remaining about
identical. Another difference is, that
this year the dwarfs and early varieties,
such as Gradus and Thomas Laxton, are
much shorter than they have been for
years. This is due to the dry, hot winds
of middle June. The Gradus and Lax-
ton are particularly short, several grow-
ers reporting barely twofold on Gradus.

"The writer has just returned from a
trip through several of the growing sec-
tions in both states, and finds no one to
be faring any better than ourselves.
This, again, augurs a short supply and a
recurrence of last season's high values,
in view of the fact that a year ago there
were two or three sections where there
was a large acreage that yielded well.
This year the drought has been prac-
tically universal and the crop conse-
quently everywhere short.

"Beans look to us, from present indi-
cations, like just about a half crop. The
sample is of pretty good color, but very
small. We have had frost in some one
of our bean growing sections each month
of the summer, and these frosts, coupled
with the drought, have brought about the

poorest crop of beans that Michigan has
had for several years,

"Our people at the Connecticut office
advise us that sweet corn promises fairly
well, in spite of the practical failure of
corn on high ground, owing to drought in
the early part of the summer. Onion seed
is thrashing out very disappointingly,
falling quite materially short of estimates
made at the time of "harvest. Our radish
■crops in Michigan have done well; in
fact, surprisingly well, in view of the
conditions with which this crop had to
contend."

GROWING ONIONS FOR SEED.

"I wish information about raising
Prizetaker onions for seed in the San
Joaquin valley," says a correspondent
of the California Cultivator. ' ' Would it
be a profitable investment? What kind
of land is best, and will the largest
onions produce more or a better grade
of seed than the medium size ones? When
should I set them out, and how many
will I require to set an acre? Would also
like to know something about the har-
vesting and preparing seed for market."

"I would deem it unwise for an inex-
perienced person to attempt to grow
onion seed for market, ' ' says the editor.
"Eeliable seedsmen are very exacting, in
their contracts for onion seed, and a
novice would find, I think, considerable
diflBculty in effecting a satisfactory sale.
If the inquirer really wishes to go into
the business, the right way would be to

the ;iverai;e of the two remaining about

this year the dwarfs and earl,v varieties,

and kept through the winter, and in the
spring set out and well cared for during
the summer until they go to seed, when
the crop is harvested. It is a business
full of details and must be learned by
long experience. To write out these de-
tails so as to be of use to your corre-
spondent would require a good-sized
pamphlet. It is an interesting work,
that of seed growing, but to be success-
ful it must be learned, just as any other
business is learned."

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Cturent Comment.

The cooler weather of the last few
days has greatly stimulated business and
Saturday, October 10, is reported gener-
ally as having been the best since last
Easter. Carnations and roses furnish
the bulk of the stock at present, though
violets and chrysanthemums are begin-
ning to make their appearance. Among
the former, Leonard Almy, of East
Providence, is contributing the finest,
although Albert Holscher and L. Wil-
liams are bringing in some good ones.
In chrysanthemums, Mr. Holscher is in
the van with his early Golden Glow. E.
E. King, of Attleboro; John Macrae, of
this city, and Mr. Almy are also cutting
some good blooms. The mums are bring-
ing $1.50 to $2.25 per dozen at retail.

destroyed when the big stock barn at the
farm of J. A. Budlong & Son Co., in
Auburn, was burned to the ground
October 11. The barn contained, besides
the horses, more than 150 tons of hay
and several carloads of grain. The firm
is an extensive grower of roses and car-
nations as well as produce. They are
cutting some unusually fine Eichmond
and Killarney for the Boston market.

Frank L. Budlong, of Auburn, has
gone to California on a business trip.

The street faker made his appearance
last week, with soft Brides and Brides-
maids.

A. D. lorio has been granted permis-
sion by the Inspector of Buildings of
this city to build an addition to his
greenhouse at 149 Unit street; also to
erect a storehouse in the rear.

A, Van Leeuwen, Sr., of the Flora and
Pomona Nurseries, Crook's corner, Woon-
socket, is already heavily booked for
spring work in setting shrubs, vines and
landscape gardening.

Charles F. Edgar, formerly of Phila-
delphia, is now with S. J. Eeuter & Son,
of Westerly.

At Macnair's "Sunshine Shop" there
was a big run on violets October 10.

Frank J. Sullivan (Westminster Green-
houses) has several houses of fine
chrysanthemums in his range at 1205
Westminster street.

Work is to be commenced in a few
days on extensive new greenhouses at
Eough Point, the handsome estate of
Mrs. William B. Leeds, at Newport.

S, J. Eeuter & Son, Westerly, are ship-
ping many My Maryland roses to the
Boston market.

William B. Hazard's window adver-
tisement this week is a miniature auto-
mobile of immortelles of red, white and
blue, with dolls for chauffeur and pas-
sengers, on the front of which is the
card bearing the inscription: "Hazard's
Prompt Delivery."

The pastors of the two French Catholic
churches in this city recently announced
from their pulpits that they will not
allow caskets bearing flowers to be
brought into their churches. They stated
that they were opposed to the custom of
floral tributes at funerals because of the
disposition to overdo it. W. H. M.

WASHINGTON.

The Market

Business is improving each week as
the season advances. A number of wed-
dings have been booked for the latter
part of Octobet, and we anticipate a
steady advance in demand. There is
plenty of good stock thus far. Eoses are
first-class and carnations coming better
each week, although there still is much
room for improvement. Cosmos never
was better. Lady Lenox is perfect; im-
mense flowers and fine color. Chrysanthe-
mums are now plentiful, especially the
early whites. Dahlias are still coming
in, for this section has not yet had kill-
ing frosts.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club met at the home of
Adolphus Gude in Anacostia October 6.
Almost the entire membership was pres-
ent. John Guttman, a grower at Congress
Heights; Adolph Minder, a grower on
Bladensburg road, and Harry Eoly, of
Center market, were elected to member-
ship.

The flower show committee reported
progress and distributed tickets. The

show will be held in the old Masonic
Temple, corner of Ninth and F streets,
N. W., November 12 to 15. W. F. Gude
spoke regarding a scale for judging
floral arrangements. The subject will
be taken up at the next meeting.

A vase of Gladiolus America, sent by
John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y.,
was on exhibition and Mr. Childs was
given a vote of thanks. A letter from
the former secretary, Charles MeCauley,
now located at Geneva, 111., was read.
He sent his best wishes.

At adjournment Mr. Gude invited the
club to the basement, which was lavishly
decorated with foliage from the nearby
forest, with flags, bunting and the soft
light of Japanese lanterns. Four long
tables were spread with a bountiful re-
past, including fried chicken and such
other delicacies as only Mrs, Gude can
set before her guests. After justice had
been done to the good things to eat, sing-
ing and story-telling was in order.
Among those who contributed to the
entertainment were Messrs. Diehn, Cooke,
"W. F. Gude, Gottenkoenig, Gordon,
Eberly and Chausey, together with the
Kosebud Quartette. It was a late hour
when the host was surrounded by all
hands singing "For he's a jolly good
fellow," after which faces were turned
toward tne nation's capital.

The next regular meeting comes on
election night, so it was decided to meet
Tuesday evening, October 27, as the
guest of Mr. Grillbortzer at Alexandria,
Va.

Various Notes.

Vernon Ley has opened his store on
Fourteenth street and is making a fine
showing. He has a nice lot of ferns
grown by his brother, Charles Ley, at
Langdon, D. C.

Gude Bros. Co. has just completed
housecleaning, and with the new decora-
tions the store makes a fine appearance.

W. F. Gude made a flying trip to
Philadelphia last week. O. O.

WORCESTER, MASS.

The annual exhibition and banquet of
the Worcester County Horticultural So-
ciety took place on the afternoon of
October 8, in Horticultural hall. The
collection of fruit was exceptionally
good and there were many exhibitors in
the various lines.

President George Calvin Rice was mas-
ter of the feast and the guests included
E. H. Burlingame, president of the
Rhode Island Horticultural Society;
Gen. Charles W. Wood, Worcester; Will
S. Smith, secretary of the Rhode Island
Horticultural Society; George S. Ladd,
Sturbridge; J. Lewis Ellsworth, Worces-
ter, secretary of the state board of agri-
culture; R. H. Bownen, Providence, and
J. K. Greene, all of whom spoke.

NEW ORLEANS.

The New Orleans Horticultural Society
will hold its annual show in the early
part of November, and intending exhibit-
ors are working hard in preparation for
the event, as competition is keen. The
consequence will be that an unusually
good selection will be shown, especially
in chrysanthemums. It is probable that
the Society of Southern Florists, an
organization founded some two years
ago, composed of florists of all the Gulf
states, will hold its convention in this
city during the local flower show, and
that its floral exhibit will be held in con-
nection with it.

PACIFIC COAST.

Fbeewatee, Ore. — C. N. Weaver has
purchased the ranch known as the Ira
Berry place, consisting of twenty-six
acres, and will grow flowers for the mar-
ket.

Milton, Ore. — C. D. Hobbs, for four
years connected with the Milton Nur-
series Co., of this city, in charge of the
sales accounts, but for the past few
Hjonths a resident of McMinnville, has
arrived to fill his old position with the
nursery company during the fall and
winter. S. A. Miller, president of the
company, says that never in the history
of the firm has business been so brisk as
it is this season and that every available
bit of help is being utilized.

Wm. S. Sibson, of the Sibson Kose
Nurseries, Portland, Ore., is contribut-
ing to the Portland Oregonian a series
of illustrated articles on roses which are
a credit to himself and to that journal,
and which cannot help but extend the
popularity of roses in Portland, already
known as the Rose City. A recent ar-
ticle recounts the awarding of the Nick-
erson prizes in England and the competi-
tion in France which E. G. Hill helped
judge last June, and in which Rhea Reid
subsequently won highest honors. Mr.
Sibson makes skillful use of these events
to point out how well Portland's favor-
ite roses, Mme. Caroline Testout and
Mme. Alfred Carriere, stood in the opin-
ion of the world's leading rosarians and
to describe other and newer sorts that
scored so high as to make them seem
desirable for trial.

SAN FRANCISCO.

TheMa^et

Business seems to be slowly improving
and is about equal to that of one year
ago. Funeral orders have constituted the
largest part of the trade, but the demand
for other flowers is good also. Chrysan-
themums are now at their height and
great quantities of outside grown stock
are being used. The prices range from
about $1 to $2.50 per hundred, while
inside stock sells at about the same prices
per dozen.

Asters are completely out of season, as
are also amaryllis and Japan lilies. Car-
nations are daily becoming more plentiful
than they have been, and the stems are
of better length as the season advances.

Roses, with the exception of short-
stemmed stock, are not very plentiful,
but some growers are fortunate enough
to have quite a quantity of fancy stock
on hand.

Valley is coming into town in fair
quantity and is selling better than it has
at any time during the season. Violets,
owing to the continued dry weather, are
not up to form or color. They cost the
stores about 75 cents per dozen.

Cosmos have made their appearance
and are being used in large quantities

Gladioli and dahUas are much scarcer.
Sweet peas, owing to the coolness of the
nights, are becoming very short of stem
and we can see their finish in a few
weeks. Cut asparagus is not so plentiful
as we would like to see it. Smilax is
much better than that of a week ago; $1
per dozen is the price the retailers pay.

Variouf Notes.

The Thorsted Co., of Fruitvale, opened
its retail store in Oakland last week.

The firms handling fall bulbs in town
claim they are of rather slow sale. The
buying public is apparently waiting for
a few showers to soften the ground.

exhibitors were badly crowded, owing to
lack of room. A table of sweet peaa
was most excellent and flowers staged

The Market

Stock is none too plentiful, as is usual
at this time of the year. Some good
Beauties are seen occasionally. Robert
Klagge is shipping in some fine valley.
The roses are good, what there are of
them. Price ranges from 3 cents to 8
cents. Carnations are not plentiful and
the quality is not any too good. The
stems of most of the stock are weak.
The best are bringing 3 cents. Chrysan-
themums are in good supply. So far the
flowers have not beeiu large. Among the
varieties seen are Monrovia, October
Frost, Amorita, Kalb, Pacific, Bergmann
and Midge. * Cosmos is coming along
nicely. Green of all kinds is plentiful.

Qub Meeting.

The meeting of the Florists' Club was
held in the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change, where an elaborate lunch was
served by the entertainment committee.
The attendance was not so large as
might have been expected, but nothing
went begging.

Most of the evening was taken up
with the discussion of the revised by-
laws. These are now in the hands of
the printer and will be ready by next
meeting.

Acting upon a suggestion by John
Dunn, a committee of three, consisting
of J. F. Sullivan, Wm. Dilger and Rob-
ert Flowerday, was appointed to wait
upon the city boiler inspector. This lat-
ter gentleman has just commenced to
enforce an old ordinance requiring sec-
ond engineer's papers to be held by fire-
men where over twelve pounds pressure

is used. Many of the local florists come
under this heading and it was thought
that perhaps the inspector could be per-

florists, for while at times the pressure
runs up above twelve pounds, most of
the time it is below.

ball bugs and the noisiest ever. The day
the Detroit Tigers took the pennant from
the White Sox, people in this city nearly
went •wild. Now that the big race is on,
most of the merchants have appropriate
window trimmings. Some of the florists
also got in line. Sullivan displayed a
large banner in yellow and black, made
of immortelles. They also disposed, of
a great many yellow mums at a good
price. Breitmeyer's windows were
trimmed in the Tiger colors. Schroeter's
also displayed the yellow and black in
various ways. Bemb Floral Co. went so
far as to decorate their rig in the colors.
Thomas Browne and Robert Eahaley
took a peep at Mt. Clemens one day last
week. They say stock in general looked
promising. Violets were the only flowers
that were still far back. At Breitmeyer's
the Beauties were exceptionally fine.

Tbe 84tb annual convention will be beld at Ro-
obeiter, June, 1909.

The farmers still are buying fruit
trees, but the orders almost all include
»ome ornamentals.

C. J. Brown, of Brown Bros. Co.,
Rochester, and president of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen, has re-
turned from a European trip.

The tree business in the west this fall
is reported as more active than in the
east, where the large landscape jobs are
slow in developing into orders.

The nurseries now nearly all, if they
handle anything besides fruit trees, have
a line of hardy herbaceous stock and
find good profit in it. Phlox is one of
the best selling items.

Benjamin Chase, Derry, N. H., has
been called to southern California, where
Mrs. Chase, who is visiting a married
daughter, has been taken , ill and must
undergo an immediate surgical opera-
tion.

The tariff committee of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen is pre-
paring to put in its oar when the vic-
torious political party undertakes the
revision of the tariff in the next con-
gress. Irving Rouse, of Rochester, is
chairman.

There are now 160,000 acres of
planted trees in central Kansas, where
at one time it was thought that trees
could not be grown. As the area in
which agricultural crops can be profita-
bly grown is steadily extending, so the
limit of forest planting and tree cul-
ture is widening always.

In the municipal court of Rochester,
N. Y., recently, there was called before
Judge Murphy the case of the Charlton
Nursery Co. against Levi C. Weir, as
president of the Adams Express Co.
The nursery people had asked $25 dam-
ages for goods alleged to have been
damaged during shipment. Judgment
for $30.69 was taken by default. The
case will probably be appealed.

Corporations and private citizens
throughout New England are beginning
to realize the opportunities which this
region offers for profitable forest plant-
ing. This year about 2,500 acres have
been planted in the six New England
states by private citizens. In addition,
a number of water companies have
adopted a forest policy. The largest
plantation of this character, which com-

£ rises over 1,000 acres, belongs to the
[etropolitan Water and Sewerage Board
of Clinton, Mass.

OLMSTED'S WAY.

Fred L. Olmsted, the landscape archi-
tect, has been down at New Haven re-
modeling or relaying the main college
campus, and as a result Yale men say
that one can actually get lost on it. An-
cient paths have been ruthlessly ploughed
up and sown with grass seed and new
paths have been laid out which look
strange to the sons of Eli. The" 'Yale
authorities have for a long time sighed

for greenswards on the campus and have
spent large sums of money urging Yale
men "to keep off the grass." Olmsted
was sent for this summer, and he said:
"One way to preserve grass is to lay
paths where people want to go. You can
ascertain this by studying the paths worn
on the sod that was. Make these paths
official and dig up the ones laid out."
That has been done. The theory will
now receive demonstration.

Mr. Hawkes is pleasantly remembered
in Springfield and at South Hadley
Falls, where he was pastor of the Con-
gregational church for some years in
the '808. Before moving to Springfield
he was superintendent of the Congrega-
tional home missions in Utah and Idaho.
Returning to Idaho, he formed the cor-
poration above referred to, and with his
three sons evidently has a good working
organization.

able extent, most of the catalogue houses
depending op the imported stock, al-
though home-grown stock is better, aa
several of the large New York firms
grow the plants from cuttings. These
are usually made in May and June from
the young wood. The cuttings taken
from plants started in greenhouses root
more readily than those taken from out-
door.

In taking a glance through a number
of catalogues, it is noticed that the Eu-
ropeans are far ahead of us in the num-
ber of varieties and classes listed, some
of the leading firms listing as many as
fifty to eighty or more varieties, while
our American firms are satisfied with
from six to twelve. Is it because we
are less enterprising?

Not'having followed this lihe of plaints
continuously, I should like to leave other
details to experts in this field. But there
is no reason why the same advance which
has been made in roses, carnations,
gladioli and cannas may not also be
made in the clematis family, and we
hope that some of our American hybrid-

izers will take advantage of the oppor-

room for the development of this most
useful and ornamental family of climb-
ers.

Lonicera*

Thelonicera family of hardy climbers
is very popular, few plants emitting a
more delightful fragrance than some of
the varieties in tbis class. "As sweet as
a honeysuckle" is an old-time expression.

Some of the newer varieties, notably
Heckrotti and Hendersoni, are especially
adapted for pot culture and easily
forced. In the open field they produce
continuous blooms from June to Novem-
ber. At this writing the young plants
in the field are a mass of bloom, and a
bouquet of their graceful sprays is al-
ways pleasing and is a delightful
change at this season.

All the varieties of honeysuckle are of
easiest propagation. Heckrotti and Hen-
dersoni, and the varieties generally cat-
alogued as red and yellow coral, and all
European varieties, I prefer to propa-
gate from hard wood under glass. The

During an average season they grow

All varieties of honeysuckle also root
freely from green wood cuttings, made
during the summer, in June and July,
from young, growing wood, and we grow
nearly all varieties in that manner. We

weeks. After they are rooted we pot
them into Si/j-inch or 4-inch pots, from
four to six plants in a pot, and place
them in beds outside in September and
October, where they remain until planting
time the following spring, which should
be as early as possible, for a few warm
April days start them into growth.
Propagators pursue the methods best
adapted to the different localities.

In the Japan section, Lonicera erachy-
poda is becoming a real pest, as it roots
freely from every shoot touching the
ground. Birds are also carrying the
seeds and where it becomes firmly es-
tablished it is difficult to exterminate it.

The type catalogued as Halliana has
generally superseded the above named, as
it is more desirable in every respect.

Ampelopsis Veitchii.

That ever useful climber, Ampelopsis
Veitchii, is so well known that it requires
no description. It is of easiest propaga-
tion. Seeds sown in March or April
germinate in a few weeks, when they
can be potted singly in 2% -inch pots,
and if shifted into 4-inch and staked,,
will make nice plants by October. The
pot-grown plants have the advantage
over the field stock for decorative fo-
liage. I have noticed that they color up
finer under glass, as the grower has them
under better control.

Varieties of the type, like Robusta
and Eoylei and others, require to be
propagated from cuttings. These root
easily in summer from green wood, but
I prefer to make them from hard wood
cuttings in winter.

Ampelopsis quinquefolia, our native
American species, is useful in cold cli-
mates, owing to its extreme hardiness.
Easily increased from seed.

Akebia Quinata.

This graceful Japanese climber, Ake-
bia quinata, seemed to be more common
forty years ago, and deserves more at-
tention than it receives. Besides its
fragrant, chocolate-colored, sweet-scented
flowers, it is free from all insect pests
and diseases. The easiest way to prop-
agate is from the seed, but it also roots
freely from cuttings from the young
wood in June and July. It will also
root from the mature wood in fall, but
requires a longer time.

Celastrus Scandens.

It has always been a surprise to me
that the beautiful native climber, Celas-
trus scandens, is not more popular. It
has fine, glossy foliage, and in autumn
its orange seedpods are charming. It
is grown from seed. There are great
variations, and to perpetuate the best
fruiting strains they should be root
grafted. There is plenty of room to
work up this breed and show them pot
grown for the Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas trade.

It seems to me that there is always
room for fine berried plants, and few
plants are more attractive than these
when full of their charming seed berries.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Of weddings there is no end and much
marrying maketh the decorator's heart
glad. I have previously noted the
mixed weather conditions of this year,
and now it appears that October has
taken snap judgment on June and ap-
propriated both its weather and its wed-
dings. The largest part of the busi-
ness of last week came from wedding
decorations, some stores having three or
four on one day. For this purpose the
white chrysanthemum answered admi-
rably. Polly Rose, Glory of the Pacific
and other early varieties are now in good
supply and are selling well.

There is a great improvement in the
quality of carnations. From present in-
dications, Enchantress and Pink Enchant-
ress will be even 'farther in the lead
this year than they were last. It seems
as though they are in a class by them-
selves and if they have any competitors
they have not appeared here.

Roses are getting into winter form,
something choice in American Beauties
being seen. All the other sorts continue
to improve. There was a heavy demand
for white and red roses October 10, as
that was the day that Cardinal Gibbons,
archbishop of Baltimore, reached the city
from his trip to Europe. There were
thousands of flowers carried in the pro-
cession, which numbered about 10,000
marchers.

Various Notes.

William O. Stran has opened a store
at the corner of Broadway and Monu-
ment street, just opposite Johns Hopkins
hospital.

Mathias Thau has bought the property
formerly occupied by the Fernery,
which had greenhouses at Govanstown
and a store on North Charles street.

William Snyder, gardener for Alex-
ander Brown, on Park Heights avenue,
has been out west on a visit to relatives.
He is expected liome October 15.

J. Guille, of the Hubert Bulb Co.,
Portsmouth, Va., gave a talk on home
grown bulbs at the Florists' Club's meet-
ing October 12. Q.

Always the best is my endeavor,

Godfrey Aschmann must not be beat;

Here and in Europe, all know that I never

Will buy the poor trash they sell on the street.

I'vejust had a lot sent over the ocean.

The finest azaleas that ever were grown.

My ferns and my palms, I have a strong notion

That all florists who see will make same their
own.
While the fair araucaria cannot fail to delight.
Thanksgiving and Christmas will see them
just right;
So come, get together and make up the buyer.
If you don't boost the world, it will never
rise higher.

We lead the country in Arancartas. Have
been in the lead in the past; have it now and shall
lead in the future.

We have houses full of choice Excelsa robnsta
compaoaandExcelsaglanca; enough to sup-
ply the entire country .

Will jrou pay 50 per cent to 100 per cent more
by buying from others who are not specialists?
Hope not; the wise are on guard. We are going
to sell all of them and without drummers. By
jingo, we must sell them; an elephant for 40c,
50c and 60c; a jambn for 75c to $1.00; and a holy
terror in size for $1.25 to $1.50.

Room! Room!!

We must have room for our great importation
of azaleas, palms etc. Everything has to go at
crackerjack prices. We are all seeking for great
shows. It is nature. The greatest show on
earth. The Founders' Weeli of Philadelphia,
which has just closed with such brilliancy that
whoever witnessed this unique affair will begin
life with more strength, more courage and more
confidence in the great American flag, which was
BO conspicuous in the great street parade of Fri-
day, October 9. This flag shall be my flag, in
which I trust my business and welfare now and
forever more.

Now is the time for floral exhlbitio's.

Come and look at the show which we are now
displaymg at our greenhouses, in the rear of
1012 West Ontario Street and Thayer Street. A
full, whole S(iuare. from Tenth to Eleventh Street,
is occupied, which is now flllerl with cases of
plants, azaleas, palms, etc., just arrived on
steamer Manitou, from Antwerp, Belgium.

TAKE NOTICE!

fully 10 per cent to 20 per cent bigger than adver-
tised below.

man! and Scottii Ferns, 5, 5^, 6 and 7-in., all

washed), which will produce stiff fronds; never

■•'Prepare for Thanksgiving S Bolidays.'*8

Always the best is my ernleavor,

Godfrey Aschniann must not be beat:

Mere and in Kurope, all know that I never

Will buy the poor trash they sell on tlio street.

I ve just had a lot sent over the ocean.

The finest azaleas that ever were grown.

.My ferns and my palms, 1 have a strong notion

That all florists who sec will make san-e their
own.
While the lair araucaria cannot fail to delinht.
TlianksKiving and Christmas will see them
just ritiht;
.So come, get together and make up the buyer.
If you (lone bo()>t the xuirld. it will never
rise higher.

We lead the country in Araurarlas. Have
heen in the lea<l in the past: ha\c it now and shall
lead in the future.

We have houses full of choice Kxcelsa robasta
compaoa and Ex<-elsaKlaura; enough to sup
ply the entire country.

Will you pay .50 per cent to 100 per cent more
liy buying from others who are not specialists.'
Ifope not: the wise are on guard. We are going
to sell all of them and without drummers. By
jingo, we must sell them; an elephant for 40c.
•')0c and tiOc: a jambn lor 75c to $l.iX): and a holy
terror in size for Sl.'J.'i tr) $l.M.

Room! Room!!

We must have room for our great importation
of a/.aleas, palms etc. Kverything has to go at
crackerjaek prices. Wc are all seeking for great
shows. It is nature. The greatest show on
earth. The Founders' Week of Philadelphia,
which has .just closed with such brilliancy that
whoever witnessed this unique aitair uill begin
life with more strength, more courage and more
confidence in the great American Hag, which u as
so conspicuous in the great street parade of Fri-
day, October '.i. This Hag shall be my (lag. in
which I trust my luisiness and welfare now ami
forever more

Now is the time for floral exhibitiu- s.

Come and look at the show which we are now
displaynig at our greenhouses, in the rear of
1012 West Ontario Street and Thayer Street. A
lull, whole Square, from Tenth to Kleventh Street,
is occupied, which is now filled with cases of

DAYTON, OHIO.

The Market

We have some better conditions than
we were able to quote in our last report.
Trade up until Saturday, October 3, was
nothing to brag of, and most of our
florists were in hope that something
would turn up to bring about more busi-
ness. On Monday, October 5, prospects
brightened and business commenced to
boom, and the prices also advanced a
little, for the supply of stock, being lim-
ited, was insufficient to compete with the
demand. The wholesale dealers vrere
receiving orders from customers who for
three or four weeks had apparently b^n
dead, and as a result could not find
enough stock to fill all the orders re-
ceived. These conditions held true dur-
ing the entire Veek and at the present
time still continue. If stock were only
more plentiful the florist surely would
have a good harvest.

Carnations are doing well, considering
the time of the year, and the crop at the
present time is heavier than a year ago.
The blooms are fine and the stems are
getting to be of good length, while the
wholesaler realizes $3 per hundred for
most of them. Bride and Maid just now
are oflf crop, while Kaiserin and Carnot
are fine and are used in a good many
cases as substitutes. Lilies are as good
as ever and sell readily, and the weather
is just the kind a florist likes.

MINNEAPOLIS.

A Visit to Will.

October 8 0. A, Will, in his powerful
car, called at the stores of Eice Bros.,
O. Swanson and James Souden & Co., and
took us for a ride out on the boulevard
to inspect the greenhouses of Will Bros.
Knowing the record of the machine, we
all took precaution to see that our life
insurance policies were paid up, but we
arrived at the plant all safe.

This place consists of twenty-one
houses, comprising nearly 200,000 square
feet of glass. We first entered the
violet section, where Princess of Wales
is grown. Three large houses are de-
voted to these, and they are all in splen-
did condition and promise a great crop
of blooms a little later on. From here
we entered the first section of the car-
nation range, where Victory and Winsor
are in splendid condition. From here
we passed into the packing-room and
cooling cellars, down the long cement
walks to range No. 2, where White Per-
fection ands Enchantress are grown in
quantity, and every plant, laden with a
profusion of buds, seems the picture of
health. Next we are taken to range No.
3, comprising . seven 300-foot houses,
which are probably as well built houses
as are to be seen anywhere in the coun-
try today. Three houses in this range
are devoted to carnations. The varieties
grown are Winsor, Lawson and Enchant-
ress, and such vigor and uniform
growth I have never before seen in a
carnation range, for every plant shows
the hand of a careful grower. Next we
were taken to the rose section, where
Chatenay, Bride, Richmond and Killar-
ney are grown, and they were all in
splendid shape, especially the Killamey.
A house of Kaiserin is still producing
splendid flowers on long stems. Next
was the chrysanthemum house. One
large 300-foot house is given over to
this crop, and no finer house of these
can be seen anywhere. The greater por-
tion are grown on single stems. In a
large house of double violets, every plant
is in splendid condition. In the immense
boiler-room are four large boilers of
500 horse-power, to supply the heat and
power for this entire plant. In connec-
tion with this is a large concrete coal
house, which is already nearly filled
with over a thousand tons of coal. In
connection with the pump-room is the
sterilizing plant, where all the manures
are strained and put on by the use of
steam pumps.

As one looks over the entire place and

Girvin's Handy Cutter

Mr. Florist, if you once Ret one of these cutters on your flngrer you will never
be without it for many times the price. Just the thing for cuttinK your carnations,
sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be bothered with a knife or follow
the old way of breaking your tlowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better

and save you money and time ? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus ruin hundreds
of young shoots daily, simply because s knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Gutter. If
you are not entirely satisfled with it you can return
It and h8"e your money refunded. These cutters
are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and
contain a removable blade.

notes the system and cleanliness, he can
see that no expense has been spared in
producing high quality of flowers, and
the fine condition of everything on the
place makes it well worth one's going a
long way to see. After satisfying the

our respective stores.

The Review is glad to answer in this
department any inquiry with regard to
greenhouse heating. Give all the details
of your problem, not only as a guide to
an intelligent answer, but so that others
similarly situated may derive a benefit.

RANGE ON A HILLSIDE.

I wish to inquire about the piping of
a new house, which I will designate as
house No. 1. It is 18x100, with side walls
four and a half feet high. It is built
on a hillside, sloping two feet from the
upper side of the house to the lower
side". The boiler will be more than fifty
feet farther down the hiUside, as I am
planning to build three more houses,
Nos. 2, 3 and 4, between house No. 1
and the boiler. Thus the bottom of the
boiler will be at least sixteen feet below
the level of the highest point of the flow
pipe in house No. 1, which is the only
house concerned in this inquiry.

I wish to use no pipe above 2-inch
size for the flows. The expansion tank
will be about two feet above the highest
point of the flow, and I can place the
tank still higher if necessary. What
size of pipe will be best for the re-
turns, and how many will be required
to heat the house for common, mixed
bedding stock! I should prefer to use
11^ -inch or 1%-inch pipe. Where would
it be best to connect to the expansion
tank — at the highest point of the re-
turn, or should I run a pipe back to a
point near the boiler? I have plenty
of boiler capacity.

Which is better — to slope the house
away from the workroom, so as to allow

the water to flow in the gutter to the
back end, or to slope it toward the
workroom and lead the water away in
pipes? How much fall is necessary?

The space to be covered by the pro-
posed houses, Nos. 2, 3 and 4, is now
occupied by two detached greenhouses,
which will later be removed, and con-
nected houses will be built, with sepa-
rate flows running from the boiler to
each house. The workroom extends the
whole length and at house No. 1 will be
two stories high, for the expansion tank.
If I attach the expansion pipe close to
the boiler, I must have a pipe about
fifty-five feet longer than would other-
wise be required, but I would do this
in case the system would be better.

during cold weather, it will require at
least twelve returns the length of the
house, if you use 1%-inch pipe, which
is as small as is safe for a house of this
length.

With the boiler located as you have
planned, if the houses are eighteen feet
wide, it will make a long run from the
boiler to the far end of house No. 1; in
fact, a distance too great to hope for
best results from hot water, unless you
use heavy pressure or a circulating
pump. However, you may find that it
will work well with an expansion tank
located ten or twelve feet above the
highest pipe in the system. My prefer-
ence is for an independent connection
for the expansion tank close to the
boiler, but you may find the plan you
suggest of connecting to the highest
point in the main return satisfactory.
If it does not prove so, run an inde-
pendent pipe and connect with the main
return near the boiler. I think you
will find it better to carry water away
from the workroom rather than toward
it. Four inches in 100 feet will be
ample fall for the gutter. L. C. C.

A SHALLOW BOILER PIT.

I have my hous9 ready for the pipes
and should like your opinion. The house
runs east and west and is 18x100 feet,
eleven feet to the ridge and four and
a half feet high at the sides, with eight-
een inches of glass in the south side. I
am thinking of puttin^"~tn one 2-inch
flow and five 2-inch returns on each side,
as I have no benches. Or would it be
better to put in one 3-inch flow under
the ridge and five 2-inch returns on
each side? With the expansion tank

What Kind of Boiler flaveYoD?

This question is a mighty important one, because with some kinds of boilers
there is the ever present continjtency of explosion and damage.

With a steel builer the Florist will always have this possibility upon his mind;
that is, if he realizes that a steel boiler is liable to explode any minute.

Capitol Boilers are made of cast Iron, made with divided sections.
Each section is in itself a small boiler, with its own internal circulation. If by any
accident any section breaks down it can be removed for repair or replaced with
a new section, and all the while the utility of the boiler itself is not interfered with.
Capitol Boilers ran not under any circumstances explode.

Capitol Boilers are most economical in fuel, and are easy to operate.

Capitol Boilers are the best boiler in the world for the Florist.

I intend to use a Wilks boiler, 30x42.
Will that be large enough! I am located
in northern Kentucky and should like 55
degrees in zero weather. We cannot go
into the ground more than two feet, but
by using a closed tank I think I ought
to get good circulation. G. O. K.

If you cannot put the top of the
boiler below the level of the returns on
the sides, then you will get best results
by using the single overhead flow — the
3-inch flow. The only way to increase
the pressure in your system is by ele-
vating the expansion tank. Connect the
tank with the main return close to the
.boiler and place the tank twelve or
fifteen feet above the highest pipe in
the house. This will give you eight or
ten pounds of pressure; thirty-three
feet will give fifteen pounds. I would
not advise the use of 1^4 -inch pipes for
hot water on 100-foot runs; 2-inch will
be all right. The next larger size of
boiler would be better. A 30x42 is rated
to carry 600 to 700^ feet. You have a
little over 600 feet, which is a full load
for the boiler. L. C. C.

PIPING IN OHIO.

Please instruct me how to pipe my
greenhouse, 12x50 feet, four feet to the
plate and seven feet to the ridge, and
contaioing two benches. I have an up-
right boiler, three feet in diameter and
six feet high, with one 10-inch flue
through the center. The grate is thirty
inches in diameter. The boiler has a
1%-inch hole in the top and a 2-inch
hole at the bottom. I should like to
use 1%-inch or 2-inch pipe.

Please state how much the bottom of
the boiler should be below the level of
the house floor, as I wish to keep it as
high as possible. How high should the
tank be above the top of the boiler t
What size should the tank be! Will
the same boiler heat one more house of
the same size as the present one!

T. F.

Your house should have eight lines of
2-inch pipe in it to maintain a tempera-
ture for carnations. This will serve best
if installed so as to place four lines of
pipe under the bench on the most ex-

A MUSHROOM HOUSE.

I have a Wilks boiler, No. 36, with a
1%-inch opening. Will one run of 1%-
inch pipe, placed at both sides and at
the ends, be enough for a mushroom
house 12x40, and six feet four inches
high, here in northwestern Pennsylvania?
Will the expansion tank work satisfac-
torily if placed right above the boiler,
and will an 8-gaIlon tank be large
enough? J. T. T.

No; such a building will require at
least a 2-inch flow, but this can be fed
from the l^^-inch opening in the boiler
by using a filling to reduce from two to
one and one-half inches, using only a
close nipple in the boiler. You should
have 'a 50-gallon expansion tank, con-
nected with the main return close to the
boiler by a small pipe, say %-inch, and
the tank should be elevated eight or ten
feet above the highest point in the sys-
tem. \ L. C. C.

The Market.

There was a decided rush for all kinds
of stock last week and each day found
everything cleaned up. Carnations are
in great demand, it being impossible to
fill all orders for them. The cut of rosp.s
has decreased with the arrival of cold
weather, but there are enough for all, at
a slight rise in prices. Mums are com-
<^ing in freely, but there are not enough to
supply the demand. Some few cospios
are to be had at $1.50 per hundred.
Dahlias are poor and scarce. Valley is
coming in finely, at $4 per hundred.

Quantities of good Beauties are re-
ceived daily and are selling well at from
$1 to $3 per dozen.

Various Notes. »

The J. M. Gasser Co. showed some
good mums in its store window last week.
A window of violets was also attractive.

Lars Anderson, of Rocky River, is
sending in a fine cut of Enchantress, as
well as other good carnations.

F. H. Kramer, of Rocky River, is cut-
ting some extra fine T. W. Lawson for
so early in the season. They were planted
from pots early in June.

C. A. Bramley, of Superior avenue, has
been holding sales of Boston ferns and
reports having moved large quantities.

J. Kirchner was a heavy buyer last
week, reporting a good run of funeral
work right along.

Peter Nichols has about recovered from
an operation and all hands will be
pleased to see him around in a few days.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

OcTOB^B 15, 1908.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The nights for the last few weeks have
been cold, with a few frosts. The neigh-
boring towns on the east have had hard
frosts. All bedding stock is damaged
and only such stock as salvia and other
late stock is standing the cool- nights.

Outdoor cosmos is just beginning to
flower; the same is true of dahlias, but
the season is too short to get a good
supply of either. Splendid cosmos is
shipped in from the east and sells on
sight. Dahlias are also good, but the
shipping is too much for them. A slight
bruise and your flower is unsalable. Not;
withstanding the splendid packing by the
Atco shippers, the soft varieties show the
journey, and if stock is not sold shortly
after arrival, it is worthless.

Early mums have arrived and there
was a wild scramble for the first stock.
Fall weddings called for mums and
everyone wanted them on arrival. The
result was a good price for the grower.
Each day brought out the stock and now
you can have any color you may choose.
Violets are improving fast and a num-
ber were sold for the big football game
Saturday.

Various Notes.

The committee for arranging the
flower show to be held by the Buffalo
Florists' Club held a meeting on Mon-
day last, at Lancaster, N. Y. Mr.
Palmer, being on the said committee, in-
vited the gentlemen to hold the meeting
at his office, and also to see his new
range of glass.

Mr. Oilman, one of the large violet
grgwers of the east, visited Buffalo last
week on a fishing trip.

S. A. Anderson had one of the largest
decorations seen in years. E. B. Thomas,
of the New York to Paris fame, spent
the coin, so no expense was spared. The
job was complete in every detail and the
work was highly praised by the papers.

J. Eowland Cloudsley, manager of the
Lenox Flower Shop, reports business as
good in his new store. He made his
window very attractive last week by ar-
ranging a football field, with all the
side issues.

Joe Streit has again succeeded in get-
ting a fine stock of begonias for the
fall trade. He has a few under lock and
key, in the begonia line, which he hopes
to be winners. Making a study of them
as he does, he is bound to make some-
thing of them.

Fall planting is being done exten-
sively just now. George McClure & Son
are at present planting large jobs.

Somethios Aboot Roses in U-Bar Hooses

Time and again gardeners have told us that they have less trouble
with their roses when grown in a U-Bar house. Mildew more easily
prevented and all that sort of thing.

Whether this is because of the increased lightness, the under-bench
ventilation or the pejcfect system of heating, we are not wise enough
to say, but suspect all three have to do with it. However, the fact
is established, as results have proven, and results are what you want
a greenhouse fer. Send for fully illustrated catalog and know why
it. is also the most enduring construction.

The ideal construction for private estates, parks,
public institutions and florists' showrooms.

THE CASCADE WREATH.

The funeral of ex-President Grover
Cleveland, at Princeton, N. J., was the
occasion of one of the most elaborate dis-
plays of flowers eve* seen in this coun-
try, and, of course, quality was the con-
spicuous characteristic of every piece;
not one but was tlje best work of the
man who made it, and the material was
invariably the choicest that could be pro-
cured. It was to be expected that re-
tailers making up work for such an event
would seek to get away from the com-
monplace, but there was little that was
really new. About the only real novelty
was a cascade wreath, a wreath made on
a similar frame being shown in the ac-
companying illustration. William N.
Eeed, of Reed & Keller, New York, who
originated the frame, says this was the
first one sold.

The frame for the wreath is not dis-
similar to the one used for an ordinary
wreath, except that it is attached in a
slanting position, the point of attachment
being at the top and rear. The maker-
up secures the shower effect by the proper
selection and use of flowers. In the cas-
cade wreath illustrated the shower was
made of Sprengeri with valley. The
wreath itself was of asters and Kaiserin
roses, the latter being used on that part
where no valley was employed. The base
of the frame is an oblong wedge-shape,
designed to give the piece stability with
the heavy wire support at one side only,
and also to afford a flooring for the
decoration, which should extend well out
and up to meet the shower of flowers
from above. If there were not close con-
nection apparent the effect would be lost.
The wreath and base are separate, so
that each part can be made up and then
the two put together.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WINDOWS.

Water Windows.

Of all the interesting and fascinating
windows, both in regard to their con-
struction and their results, none are
more interesting and fascinating than
water windows. Probably the motion and
life about them account for the attrac-
tion which they possess.

The mechanical necessities for a suc-
cessful water window have already been
described, so we will take it for- granted
that we have as a starter a self -draining
cement basin, with a faucet and hose
connection. All dust and dirt removed,
we are ready to deposit clean sand,
gravel and rock, according to some one
of a number of plans for this style of
decoration.

A Fish Pond.

This time it will be a fish pond. Let
us have about two-thirds of the space
allotted to water. On one side we shall
have a rather steep incline sloping to-
ward the water, and on an opposite cor-
ner the beginning of a low stretch. If
the window contains a mirror, let the

space in front of it be mostly clear. On
the low corner of the land boundary, set
in a jar containing a group of some
tall, slender stalks, like cat-tails, gla-
dioli, dwarf sunflowers, Golden Glow, or
something of that description. If the
stalks are a little inclined to appear too

around to anchor the jar and hide both
it and the pot. It is well to remember
that we are working now on the cement
bottom, from six inches to a foot below
the upper floor of the window, all the
sections of the upper floor having been
removed except one or two, which have
been retained as a foundation for the
inclined bank.

If space permits, set in a group of
flowers or foliage to the rear, arranging
in a manner similar to the first group
in the corner. Let a large rock be
placed somewhere conveniently, so that
it will jut out boldly when the water is
turned on.

Building the Hillside.

Now start in on building the hill on
the opposite end of the window. The

straight or stiff, place a slender plant
of Boston fern, with long, drooping
fronds, among the flower stalks. Do
not let the receptacle be too deep, just
Qnough to hold the stalks slightly to-
gether. Pile enough rocks and sand

;

best material for covering the slope
would be some kind of blooming plants,
not too tall. Tip the pots on the side
facing the water and pile up like a steep
slope as high as the pots can be held
together. Brace them from behind and

pack damp sphagnum in between and
behind them. When the hillside is fin-
ished, cover the top edges of the pots
with fern leaves or other green, and
plant a group of tall plants on the top
of the hill. This hill need not be built
from the cement bottom, but may start
from the water line on a platform, which
is most conveniently formed by using
one or two sections of the regular win-
dow floor.

After the hillside is completed, make
the water connection, for which hose is
more convenient than pipe, for it can be
set in any spot. Lay it across the bot-
tom of the basin and cover it with small
stones and gravel. See that the drain is
well screened and some stones piled
around to prevent the material from be-
ing washed away. Turn on the water
slowly and easily at first, so that there
shall be no dariger of floating any of
the "land." After a few hours the
water will clear itself, and the fiah may
take possession. This plan makes a
good window for spring, with peach or
other tree blossoms for the tall corner
piece, and Azalea Vervaeneana for the
hillside. A few full-blown pink roses
of a harmonizing tint may float on the
water, while a fringe of valley appears
from the remote boundary.

A Winding Stream.

Another: Build a narrow waterway,"
zigz^ging the entire length of the win-
dow, with rocks and sand for the bed
of a brook. Give it a gradual fall. If
araucarias are plentiful, hide the source
of the water with a little grove of them.
Scatter low ferns along the front bank.
On the opposite bank, next to the back
of the window, plant a solid, thick bor-
der of Paper White, Von Sion or other
variety of narcissus. If the bed of the
brook is prettily laid out, there will be
a bend or two in its course which will

be noticeably brought out by the nar-
cissus border. Let the water flow toward
the mirror, to appear to lengthen its
course.

A Waterfall

A waterfall: As high as convenient
at the back of the window, set up a pile
of good sized rocks, over which the water
may fall to a pool below. Increase the
seeming height of the fall by a group
of tall plants behind and among the
rocks. Lay out the lower part of the
window according to the season. If for
the autumn, use dahlias, mums, golden-
rod, Golden Glow, autumn branches,
back from the water. If for spring,
use Easter lilies, hyacinths, valley or
other bulbs, growing close to or in the
water. Plant some in groups and others
scattering out toward another group.

A STORE OPENING.

The season of fall openings being now
at hand, the accompanying illustra-
tion will be of special interest. It shows
the store of Burt & Coggan, at Battle
Creek, Mich., at the time of the open-
ing early last autumn. The firm was
then a new one, being composed of H.
M. Burt, who had been in the business
some time, and S. W. Coggan, who joined
with Mr. Burt at the time the new Ar-
cade building was completed and new
quarters were occupied.

It will be apparent that the illustra-
tion is taken through the front show-
window. As the store faces in the Ar-
cade, the shadow which usually destroys
the value of pictures taken through glass
was avoided. The space shown is where
the firm makes its display and does its
selling. At the middle of the right-hand
side an opening will be noticed which
leads into the adjoining store, which is
utilized for working purposes. Here all

supplies are stored and all making-up is
done.

On the day of the opening Burt &
Coggan, having advertised the date, had
more than 5,000 visitors, and each
woman was given a fancy carnation, with
the result that all over town that day
people returning from the business cen-
ter were deck'^d out with flowers and the
advertising value to the florists was far
above the cost, of the stock.

^ BABY'S PILLOW.

The accompanying illustration is one
of the series of funeral designs by C.
H. Fox, Columbia avenue and Twenty-
first street, Philadelphia. This arrange-
ment of a baby's pillow is not carried
out on conventional lines. The idea was
to use baby flowers throughout, gar-
denias, lily of the valley, and sweet peas
edging the white field of carnations.
Pink sweet peas were used at the cor-
ners, adding a touch of color to relieve
the coldness of the white flowers.

DAHLIAS FOR CUT FLOWERS.

There are many growers of dahlias
who in their enthusiasm plant almost
numberless varieties of the several types
and consequently are disappointed, when
the plants come into flower, because they
are unable to cut a sufficient number of
one distinct color or variety when it is
desirable to make use of the blooms for
indoor decoration.

There are a great many varieties on
the market now, and this, I admit, makes
the task of selection rather hard for any
one not thoroughly up on dahlias, but it
would be well for those, especially be-
ginners, who intend to grow dahlias
primarily for cut flower purposes, to
make their own selections as far as pos-
sible from the results of their own ob-

nervations. They would thereby make
sure that they would have only what
would be of some practical utility, in-
stead of having a lot of stuflf from which
no profit could be derived. It is evident
that the propev plan is to have a large
■enough number of e.'^ch type and color to
give flowers in sufficient quantity to meet
all possible demands.

Of the three or four different types of
■dahlias now more or less extensively
grown, I am inclined to think that the
singles are, for general cut flower pur-
poses, ahead of all the others. The
cactus dahlias are without doubt beauti-
ful and capable of being used with good
€ffect in decorative work, but for large
vases I do not take to them as readily as
to the singles. The decorative dahlias,
though on the whole somewhat heavy and
stiff, include several varieties of excep-
tional merit for cut flower purposes, and
this can be especially noted of Fire Eain
and that favorite of Newport, Katherine
Duer. M.

SWEET PEAS.

I have a north and south house, 200
feet long, planted with chrysanthemums;
one-half are midseason, the other half
late varieties. They are in a ground
bed, with from six to eight feet head-
room. The bed is six feet wide. One-
half will be ready November 15, the
other half December 1. I wish to plant
this house with sweet peas, and have
the best of Zvolanek's and Burpee's
winter blooming varieties ready in pots.
Will you kindly give me some cultural
instructions in your valuable paper?

C. M. A.

spade it over thoroughly, getting the ma-
nure in the bottom of the trench each
time. Your bed, being six feet wide,
will not hold more than two rows of
sweet peas. Jt will, of course, be much
the better plan to run these the length
rather than the breadth of the house.
In planting, allow two or three inches
between each individual plant and this
will give you far better results than set-
ting them thicker. The best plan is
to have a single line of plants.

It would have been better could you
have given your plants more headroom,
as they will need it late in the winter.
A night temperature of 45 degrees will
suffice until buds appear, when 45 to 50
degrees should be given. Avoid all cold
draughts. Fumigate every week, using
light doses, to keep insects in check.
Use the spray nozzle where there is any
danger of red spider getting a foot-
hold. A topdressing of bone flour
worked into the soil, or some of the
dried animal manures can be given with
benefit towards spring.

Seeds were saved and those sown that
fall grew the following spring, but those
carried over dry never germinated. The
seedlings proved absolutely hardy and
the plants have seeded themselves since,
so that I have merely to hoe away what
I do not want. We have had many win-
ters running to 20 degrees below zero, but
never has a plant been injured, though I
do not give them the slightest protection.
Compared with a color plate in an old
magazine, they seem to be identical with
Hibiscus coccineus. It seems certain,
therefore, that I have a new hardy strain
of this plant, which has proven one of
the most valuable of my collection. At
three years the plant throws four to six
stems six to eight feet high, blooming
profusely for six weeks.

I have no seeds or roots for sale, for I
am now out of the business. If, how-
ever, the Editor will suggest a proper
channel, I will assist in saving this plant
from obscurity and possible extinction.

Paoli, Ind. J. W. Hollingsworth.

THE READERS' CORNER.

After your chrysanthemums are cut,
give the bed a coating of two or three
inches of well-rotted cow manure and

A Hardy Hibiscus.

Your kindly answer to my question as
to the hardiness of Hibiscus coccineus,
stating that this is a tender plant ex-
cept in the warmer southern states and
will not winter in the open in Indiana,
prompts me to make statement of the
following facts, which may prove of in-
terest to your readers.

Some twenty years ago I chanced to
find a little seedling in a border devoted
to native wild plants, where I had sown
no seeds whatever. The following sum-
mer it gave me a wide open, single red
flower, eight and a half inches across.

GARDENIAS FOR CHRISTMAS.

I have a few gardenias in pots and all
set with flower buds. Could I manage
to have these in flower before Christmas
by keeping them in a temperature of
about 65 degrees at night? J. M.

If your plants are well set with buds
there is no reason why you should not
get a good number of them in flower for
Christmas. Maintain a night tempera-
ture of 65 to 68 degrees and give a
spraying over once a day. An excess
of water at the root will cause buds to
drop quicker than dryness; therefore:, use
care in watering. If the buds seem a
little backward when December comes,
endeavor to raise the minimum tempera-
ture 5 degrees for a short time.

TO GET RID OF ANGLEWORMS.

Please give me some information in
regard to angleworms, as there are many
of them in my carnation beds. Do they
hurt carnations, and if they do, what is
the best way to get rid of them?

W. L. W.

The presence of angleworms in the soil
is never desirable, and if in large num-
bers their presence is most objectionable.
I cannot say just what they f e«d on.
They do not, however, feed on the roots
of the plants, like grubworms and such.
The damage they do is in changing the
texture of the soil into a flat, sticky
mass, which is unfit for plants to grow in.
The best thing to get rid of them with
is lime, which can be applied either in
dry or liquid form. Sprinkle a handful
ot dry-slaked lime between each row of
plants and water it into the soil. If the
liquid 18 preferred, put a peck of fresh
lime into a 50-gallon barrel of water.
The next day take the liquid and water
the beds with it. The angleworms will
soon make themselves scarce.

THRIPS AND OTHER TROUBLES.

If you will kindly inform me as to
the name of the disease on the enclosed
carnations, with the cause and the rem-
edy, the favor will be greatly appre-
ciated. F. M. L.

The most serious thing troubling your
carnations, according to the specimens
sent, is thrips. Those white spots on
the petals, which showed in each bud
and bloom, are always a sure sign of the
presence of this most destructive of
greenhouse pests. The cause of these
spots is easy to tell, but the remedy is
not easy, and the successful application
of the remedy is still less easy.

It is a well-known fact that tobacco,
or rather the nicotine in the tobacco, is
most deadly to this insect, and when-
ever he is reached by it in any form his
execution is a certainty. But to reach
him — herein lies the difficulty. The eggs
are deposited in well hidden places and
the young pests work in between the
closely folded petals of the buds, and
how are you going to reach them with
either liquid or fumes? Under present
conditions it would seem that the only
time to catch them is when they are
necessarily exposed on account of the
loosening of the petals and blades, as
the bloom and the growth develop.

Some of our scientific friends, who are
now busily engaged in studying these
pests, may evolve some method of exter-
mination which will be so effective and
deadly to them tnat it will be possible
to get every one of them to a certainty.
If we could keep the atmosphere con-
tinually charged with something poison-
ous to them for one week, we could de-
stroy every one of them. To do this
without injuring the crop is the problem
to be worked out, and it will be worth
the price of its solution.

At present we depend entirely on to-
bacco and its products. These are dust-
ed and sprayed on the plants, and, if ap-
plied with persistency, they will keep the
pest in check quite effectively. Your ef-
forts, however, must be accompanied by
a great amount of perseverance and must
be kept up continuously through the sea-
son. If you keep atter them all through
the winter you can have your plants so
nearly clean that little damage will be
done by them in the spring, at which
time they usually do the most damage.

Do ^ot be deceived into the belief that
there are none present, if during the
winter you do not see many of the spots
on your blooms. During .cool weather
the punctures do not produce these spots
so readily, and the thrips are not so ac-
tive either. They are present, never-
theless, and toward spring, when warm
weather sets in, they multiply at an enor-
mous rate. A comparatively small num-
ber, if left unchecked, will overrun your
place inside of a few weeks' time. By
spraying your plants once each week dur-
ing the winter, you can keep them down
pretty well, but if you find them in-
creasing you can increase the spraying
to two or three times each week, or even
oftener if deemed advisable. Dust the

plants thoroughly and leave it on sev-
eral days before washing it off, and re-
peat as often as considered necessary to
get the upper hand.

One of the branches of Lawson showed
a spot of that fungous disease which has
attacked and practically ruined that va-
riety on some places during the last
few years. It seems to differ somewhat
from the other spot diseases, in that it
attacks the flower stems mostly. It
should, however, yield to treatment with
Bordeaux mixture and such fungicides.
Only one branch showed this disease,
and for that reason I am led to suspect
that you were unaware of its presence.
Better get busy with Bordeaux. You
will find Grape Dust a splendid thing to
dust over the plants for any of the spot
diseases, and the steam pipes should also
be painted with sulphur. Give all the
ventilation possible and keep the temper-
ature at the proper level at all times
now, whether you have to fire up or not.

FALL PLANTING OF ROSES.

It is advisable, whenever possible, to
plant hybrid perpetual roses in the fall
of the year instead of in the spring.

In the fall or early winter the plants
are dormant, and, when moved and
planted, scarcely feel that they have been
shifted. In early spring, therefore, they
will push into vigorous growth, equaling
in strength of wood and flower plants
that had been established for years. And
the certainty of securing good results
from roses the first season after planting
means a good deal to growers, especially
to private gardeners, who in most cases
would hear a good deal about it if the
roses did not come fully up to expecta-
tions.

Spring planting is safe enough if the
plants can be kept dormant until the time
comes for planting, but altogether un-
safe if the |)lant!s have starte<l into

growth before they reach the planter, as
often happens when the plants are pur-
chased in spring, from growers or deal-
ers who are in localities of different con-
ditions of climate and who do not keep
their plants in cold storage.

It is utter folly to expect that hybrid
perpetual roses will make anything at
all of a show the first season if, when
planted, they have alrea<ly made two
inches or more of growth. It is poor
business policy for any house to continue
•to send out roses in such an advanced
stage of growth, but there is proof that
they have done so in the past, and that
quite recently. I think it would be much
better for intending planters to procure
the plants in the fall or early winter
and keep them heeled in, even if they are
unable to plant them in their permanent
quarters. D. M.

DOROTHY PERKINS ROSE.

A writer in the Gardeners' Magazine
(Lon<lon) says that Dorothy Perkins
rose is unquestionably one of the finest
of the rambling varieties, and it makes
a fine companion for such splendid roses

as Crimson Rambler and the newer sin-
gle Hiawatha. "I have seen Dorothy
Perkins used in a variety of ways, and
while it is extremely beautiful when
grown up a stout oak post, so as to pro-
vide a fountain of beauty and fra-
grance, I fancy it is never seen to bet-
ter advantage than when it adorns a
rustic arch. Its merits as a pot plant
we all know full well, but the fullest
freedom of gi"owth and bloom are only
to be seen when, planted in good soil, a
plant or plants take possession of an
arch. Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith,
is not an ideal rose district, for it is
within the metropolitan area, but there
are many good gardens in the district,
and Mr. Gingell, the superintendent of
Ravenscourt Park, always provides an
excellent display. As a town rose
Dorothy Perkins has unquestionably
strong claims to attention from owners
of gardens large enough to afford room
for roses." In *the accompanying illus-
tration the rose surrounds a sun dial.

HARDY ROSE JOTTINGS.

Advantages of Fall Planting.

Too little attention is paid to the
fall planting of not only roses, but many
other shrubs and trees in America. The
nurseries are simply overwhelmed with
orders in spring and there are long and,
to customers, vexatious delays in making
shipments. The plants are often badly
dried out before being planted, frequent-
ly get hot, dry weather after they are
in the ground, and it is safe to hazard a
guess that fifty per cent, on an average,
either die at once or do not come through
tbe first winter. Plants set out* in spring
produce, at best, but a few miserable,
short-stemmed flowers; at least, such is
the case with the hybrid perpetuals.

It is a thousand pities that more grow-
ers cannot be induced to try fall planting
of hybrid roses. Set out at the end
of October or beginning of November,
they will winter well and give vastly
superior blooms to spring planted stock.
TUe nurseries would be only too glad to
handle fall orders. It would somewhat
lessen the spring pressure, and customers
, would receive fresh stock from the
ground, whereas in spring a great pro-
portion of the plants sent out are either
from Europe or have been stored in
sheds and cellars over winter.

Value of Budded Stock.

As between budded stock and that
grown from cuttings, there can be no
comparison; the latter is shorter lived,
more easily winter-killed and makes a
feeble growth.

A great quantity of hybrid perpetuals
are annually handled in America, which
have been produced in the low muck
lands of Holland. These can be bought
and sold cheaper than American or Brit-
ish roses. They are usually to be found
in auction rooms and on dry goods coun-
ters. It has been truly said that these
do more to discourage rose culture among
the masses of the people than all other
contributory causes combined.

Location and Drainage.

The best location for roses is consid-
ered by M. H. Walsh, a well-known rose
expert, to be a southeast to southwest
exposure, but I have noted little dif-
ference in the quality of blooms whether
the site runs north and south or east
and west. Protection from cold north
winds is advantageous, if the protection

is not of a nature to shut off air and
sunlight. There will be less mildew on
fully exposed plants than if the same
are grown close to buildings.

Good drainage is essential. Heavy
soils are preferable to light ones. The
latter suits the hybrid teas, but not the
hybrid perpetuals. The ground should
be deeply plowed or spaded and well
manured. Dip the roots in a puddle of
thick, clayey water before planting. This
is better than watering and less labori-
ous. Spread the roots out well and see
that the soil is thoroughly firmed. The
buds of worked plants should be cover-
ed about three inches. Neither roses nor
any other plants will grow and thrive
if loosely planted.

Winter Protection.'

The question of proper winter pro-
tection is a vital one, and here many
growers continue to make mistakes. No
protection should be afforded until just
before freezing-up weather. In New
England this work is done about the end
of November, and consists of drawing
soil up to the stems closely until they
are buried about six inches. No other
covering is really needed for hybrid per-
petuals. Manure, straw, leaves, pine
needles and other covering are often used,
but nothing is better than earth, for, un-
less the plants are standing in water,
the wood will be found green from be-
low the earth protection. In the case of
hybrid teas, in addition to soiling thoni.

leaves and spruce boughs are necessary.
Unless the location is a mild one, it is
better to dig up the plants and either
bury them in the ground until spring
or heel together thickly in a coldframe.

Pruning.

The question is often asked, should
hybrid perpetuals be cut back a little
in the fall! It is not wise to do any
trimming until spring, and it also is well
not to be in too big a rush about doing
it even then. Many are tempted to
head back the plants with the first signs
of spring. Such plants are liable to
make nice breaks and have them killed
back by a late, severe frost. In south-
eastern Massachusetts from April 10 to
l.l is suflHciently early.

The bulk of growers err in not pruning
hybrids severely enough. On the most
robust varieties, it is better not to leave
over eight to ten inches of the strong-
est shoots, and on weaker ones half
that length is sufficient. All weak wood
should be removed entirely. The severe
cutting back insures vigorous shoots, such
as cannot be had from light pruning,
and it enables one the more readily to
protect part of the current ' season 's
growth when earthing-up time comes.

While hybrid perpetuals thrive best
on rather heavy land, the increasingly
popular hybrid teas do better on light
soil which has been heavily manured. A
mulching and occasional waterings are
beneficial and help to keep the plants

flowering. It need hardly be stated that
roses, in common with other plants, de-
light to have the soil constantly stirred
about them during the growing season.

Some Good Sorts.

A selection of the best hybrid per-
petuals, which I have found to be hardy
in Massachusetts, is as follows: Ulrich
Brunner, Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. John
Laing, Captain Hayward, Magna Charta,
Paul Neyron, Gustavo Piganeau, Clio,
Susanne Marie Eodocanachi, Mrs, R. G.
Sharman-Crawford, Prince Camille de
Rohan, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, General
Jacqueminot, Earl of Dufferin and Al-
fred Colomb. Of the foregoing, Frau Karl
Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, Mrs. Shar-
man-Crawford and General Jacqueminot
are the most persistent late summer and
fall bloomers.

A few really fine hybrid teas are:
Bessie Brown, Gruss an Teplitz, splendid
for bedding; Florence Pemberton, Kil-
lamey, Caroline Testout, Etoile *de
France, Mrs. W. J. Grant, Viscountess
Folkstone, Maman Cochet, both white and
pink; Mme. Abel Chatenay, Mme. Ra-
vary. La France, Augustine Guinoissau
and Marquise Litta.

The Ramblers.

The rambler roses are growing in favor
yearly. Since the advent of Crimson
Rambler, which is still the most widely
popular variety, there have been some

splendid additions to this class. Crimson
Rambler is handsome while in bloom;
the greatest defect is its poor foliagn.
The pink ramblers, on the other hand,
have handsome, shiny leaves, which re-
main bright and attractive the whole
season. For this reason many are now
using these in preference to the old-
time favorite. Of the several pink va-
rieties, I consider Farquhar the best.
The flowers are larger and of a clearer
pink color than Dorothy Perkins. Plants
set out two years ago have this sea-
son made shoots thirty feet or more in
length. Dorothy Perkins and Lady Gay,
the latter one of M. H. Walsh's seed-
lings, are both good. Debutante, soft
pink ; Hiawatha, single scarlet, and Sweet-
heart, pink fading white, have all with-
stood 20 degrees below zero. The so-
called yellow rambler, Aglaia, is, in real-
ity, a creamy white color, but is not reli-
ably hardy and must be covered, for a
temperature of 10 degrees below zero will
kill it to the ground.

All the ramblers do well planted in the
fall. As soon as they have bloomed, cut
away the old flowering wood. To insure
vigorous growth the first season, it pays
to cut the whole plant down. C.

WINTERING BABY RAMBLERS.

I have a number of Baby ramblers in
pots. They have been in pots plunged
outdoors all summer. Will you please let

me know if they can be kept dormant in
an underground cellar until about Febru-
ary, or what treatment would you advise
so as to have them in bloom in March or
for Easter? W. B.

The Farquhar Rose the Second Year After Planting.

The pot ramblers will keep all right in
such a cellar as you describe, provided it
is not too warm. The temperature should
be as near the freezing point as possible,
to keep the plants dormant. If a few
degrees below freezing, it will not do any
harm.

To have them in flower in March, it
will be necessary to start them earlier
than February. House them about Janu-
ary 1, starting in a temperature of 40
to 45 degrees at night and giving them
warmer quarters by 10 degrees when they
are breaking freely. For Easter you
should get your plants under way by
February 1. Winters are erratic, climat-
ically speaking, and it is safer to start
a few days too early rather than the re-
verse. Hard forcing spoils the quality
of the flowers, so give them ten weeks
from start to finish, in a temperature
starting at 40 to 45 degrees and rising
to 55 degrees at night. C. W.

GOLD MEDAL ROSES.

At the autumn show of the National
Rose Society of England in September
ten seedling roses were exhibited, of
which four received gold medals. That
so many should be considered worthy of
the . highest award makes the occasion
memorable. The medal varieties are de-
scribed by H. E. Molyneux as follows:

Lady Alice Stanley. — A hybrid tea
raised by S. McGredy & Son, Portadown,
Ireland; a large flower with a round
petal of good shape, not quite the usual
petal of the exhibition rose, but none the
less pleasing on that account, coming
well to a point in the younger flowers.
The scheme of color is after the style of
that old garden rose. Grand Due A. de
Luxembourg, or the more modern Mrs.
E. G. Hill, namely, having the deeper
shade on the outside of the petal and
the lighter shade inside, the reverse of
the usual color scheme, the color outside
being a deep coral rose, inside pale flesh,
suffused pink; fragrant, a good grower
and free autumnal.

His Majesty. — A hybrid tea also
raised by McGredy & Son; a fine dark
crimson flower of great size and good
substance; of the usual exhibition type
with high pointed center; the plant ex-
hibited showed strong growth, with flow-
ers produced at the end of each shoot;
a very promising variety, fragrant.

A. Hill Gray. — A tea raised by Alex-
ander Dickson & Sons, Newtownards, Ire-
land ; a beautiful rose of excellent shape ;
delightful pale yellow, fragrant and a
good grower; undoubtedly the finest rose
stagpd in the class.

Dr. O'Donel Browne. — A hybrid tea
approaching closely to the hybrid per-
petuals, raised by Dickson & Sons and
sent out by them this year ; a fine-shaped
flower, resembling Dupuy Jamain in
color and shape, but coming much bet-
ter than that old favorite, being particu-
larly good in autumn; a good, vigorous
grower with strong perfume, and, more-
over, free flowering; color rosy carmine.

Malden, Mass. — Fred R. Kaulback,
the junior member of the firm of E. D.
Kaulback & Son, has added to the busi-
ness the furnishing of canopies for wed-
dings, parties and receptions.

Crimson Rambler on a Pergola, Four Years After Planting.

LILIUM LONGIFLORUM.

"We would like to know how to take
care of longiflorum multiflorum bulbs
after they arrive, how to plant the bulbs
and how to take care of them until
sprouted. Could they be set under
Denches in a carnation house and should
litter be put on? R. H. G,

Pot as soon as possible after you re-
ceive them. Use 5-inch pots for small,
and 6-inch pots for large bulbs. Put
some sand below and above the bulbs in
potting ana let the soil just cover them.
Do not use any fresh manure in your
compost.

The bulbs can be placed under a car-
nation bench if the drainings from the
bench will not keep the soil wet in the
pots. If you can place them in a heated
shed or on a cellar floor they will start
nicely. They are just as well in the
dark until they start to grow. You can
cover them with ashes, moss or hay.
Avoid keeping them wet at the root in
t.ie early stages of growth. Better run
them on the dry side. They will do well
for a time in a temperature of 45 de-
grees at night; when the shoots appear,
10 degrees higher can be given advan-
tageously. C. W.

KEROSENE.

Please inform me how I can apply
kerosene to plants. I used to spray the
woodwork with 11,, against the common
spider, but as they also are troublesome
among the plants I would like to get rid
of them. I have used tobacco extracts
pretty strong, but without any result.
Can I spray my plants with clean kero-
sene and then give them a good syring-
ing afterwards without injury? T. B.

If you apply pure kerosene to your
plants, no amount of after syringing

will save them from complete destruc-
tion. A wine-glassful to a three-gallon
pail is as strong a dose as can safely be
used, and then care has to be taken that
it is well mixed; it cannot be applied at
all to any plants with woolly foliage.

WK SHALL BE GLAD
TO HKAR FROM TOU.

We do not know what the common
spider is you refer to. As a rule, these
insects do no special harm to plants,
while some are beneficial through de-
stroying green and black aphis. You had
better try some other form of fumiga-

tion before syringing with any kerosene
mixture. The nicotine extracts and hy-
drocyanic acid gas should all prove suffi-
ciently deadly to kill any insect pests
you have.

The safest way to use kerosene is in
an emulsion. To make this, use one-half
pound of any good hard soap, one gallon
boiling water, two gallons kerosene. Dis-
solve the soap in the water, add the ker-
osene and churn with a pump or syringe,
for ten minutes. Dilute twenty-five times
before applying for aphis, etc. For
scale it can be used diluted ten times.

CYCLAMENS FOR CHRISTMAS.

My cyclamens are in 5-inch pots and
the pots are full of roots. I want them
in the best possible shape by Christmas.
Would you shift them into 6-inch pots, or
leave them in their present quarters?
G. A. T.

It is now rather late to shift your
cyclamens intended for Christmas flower-
ing. Had you purposed holding these
for early spring sales, it would be all
right to give them a shift, but it will be
much better to keep them in 5-inch pots
now. As these are well filled with roots,
give them a sprinkling once a fortnight
of some highly concentrated fertilizer,
like Clay's fertilizer, alternating this with
doses of liquid manure. C. W.

PLANT FOR NAME.

Will you kindly tell me the name of
the plant a piece of which I send?

W. P. M.

The plant is Conoclinium ccelestinum,
or Eupatorium coelestinum, as most au-
thors now unite the two species under the
latter name.

The ]iot rambleis will keep all right in
such a <-ellar ;is you describe, provided it
is not too warm. The temperature should
be as near the freezing point as possible,
to keep the plants dormant. If a few
degrees below freezing, it will not do any
liarm.

To have them in llower in March, it
will be necessary to start them earlier
than February. Ilotise them about Janu-
ary 1, starting in a temperature of 40
to A't degrees at night and giving them

should get your plaiits under way by

ically sjieaking, and it is safer to start

Lilies.

Harrisii lilies wanted for Thanksgiv-
ing should now have the buds separated
so that they can be easily counted. Later
plants, for Christmas, are now about a
foot high and if buds are showing by
the middle of November a good propor-
tion will be in season. It is hardly pos-
sible to get a whole batch in at any one
time. There would appear to be more
variation in the flowering of Harrisii
than longifloium; still a few lilies come
in useful for design work almost any
time. Plants showing disease might as
well be thrown out at once. The flow-
ers will all be malformed and of no
value. As the pots j«re iiow full of ac-
tive roots, use liquid lAanure once in
four or five days and be sure that you do
not allow aphis to secure any foothold
in the tops of the shoots.

Japanese longiflorums should be potted
a» soon as they, come to hand. Give a
good soaking of water and then keep
on the dry side until the roots become
active. A cellar floor is a good place to
stand the pots on; failing this, a bench
in a cool house where water is not
likely to soak the pots. A mulching of
ashes or short straw will prevent the
soil from drying out and can be left on
until the shoots push through it. Ear-
lier longiflorums will now be above the
ground and if carried in a house kept
at 50 degrees at night wili do nicely.

Speciosums for winter bloonung,
jpotted in late sumn'er, are already show-
ing flower buds in some cases. A fair
proportion of these will be along for
Christmas, when they usually meet with
a fairly good sale. We do not subject
these to as hard forcing as the Harrisii,
55 to 60 degrees at night being better
for them than a temperature 10 degrees
higher. It will be a month yet before
the present season's speciosum and au-
ratum bulbs come to hand. No time
should be lost in getting them into the
soil when they arrive. No bulbous plants
suffer more from being out of the soil
than liliums.

Schizanthus.

Some nice little plants of Schizanthus
Wisetonensis were noted in the eastern
markets at Christmas a year ago. This
schizanthus is destined to become a pop-
ular market plant. It is of easy culture,
has a neat, stocky habit, blooms for a
long time and ships well. The other
forms of schizanthus are too tall-grow-
ing to make acceptable commercial
plants.

Seed sown in August, as previously
suggested, should by this time have pro-
duced bushy little stock in 6-inch pots.
A little pinching may be needed to keep
them shapely, but S. Wisetonensis, ow-
ing to its dwarf habit, needs less of this
than any other variety. A cool house,
with plenty of light, is essential to their
well-being; in fact, if the houses are
crowded, the plants will do finely in cold-
frames for some time yet, if afforded a

covering on cold nights. Compost such
as is used for chrysanthemums will suit
schizanthus, and as they are vjigorous
rooting subjects plenty of water is re-
quired at the roots. They will not stand
heavy fumigation.

For late winter flowering make a suc-
cessional sowing now, dropping two or
three seeds in small pots.

Antirrhinums.

Many of the early chrysanthemums
being now out of the way, some of the
bench space can be given to antirrhinums.
A coating of rotted manure or a dust-
ing of bone flour should be worked into
the soil before planting. If you want
first-class spikes, which will bring the
best market price, it is necessary to re-
duce the number of shoots on each plant
to from three to six. Eub off all others
as they appear. These will net you more
money than double the number of small
ones.

Early benched antirrhinums are al-
ready coming into bloom. There is no
s}iecial advantage in flowering them
while mums are in season, and it will
pay to pinch back these shoots and se-
cure a crop during December and Jan-
uary, when sales for them will be better.
Be sure that you properly support the
plants, so as to have straight stems.
There will be no sale for those with
twisted stems.

Calceolarias.

The best place for calceolarias still is
a coldframe; one which can be pro-
tected from frost until the middle of
November is much better for the plants
than any greenhouse. You will notice
how much faster the calceolarias are
growing now that the cooler weather is
here. As the sun is still hot during the
day, it will be necessary to have a little
cheesecloth over the plants for two or
three hours daily. Spread the pots out
so that the leaves do not crowd and do
any necessary potting before the roots
become matted. A compost of one-half
loam, oue-fourth rotted cow manure and
one-fourth leaf-mold will grow good
calceolarias. Add some sharp sand and
fine charcoal to give it porosity.

Dahlias.

Frosts will have cut off the bulk of
dahlias now in the northern states. We
do not like to be in too big a hurry
about cutting the stems down, as hot
weather usually follows the first killing
frost. Leave enough top to tie labels
to securely and after digging let the
roots have a thorough drying in the sun
before placing under cover. A cellar
which will keep potatoes will answer
equally well for dahlias. If your stock
is not large^ pack them in boxes of dry
sand and they will come out nice and
plump in spring. Do not carry over any
inferior varieties, for to be up-to-date
you should secure a few of the newer
peony or cactus-flowered sorts another
spring.

Ginnas.

In the north it is time to lift and store
roots of cannas. When cut down let
them have a good sun bath to stop any
bleeding. Do not shake the soil too
much from the roots before housing
them. The flowering cannas, French, as

I ANOTHER GROWER'S VIEW.

In reply to Edward Eeid's letter, in
which he suggests the advisability of our
going out of business, let me inform Mr.
Eeid that that sort of suggestion would
not work, since it has reference to men
who have studied the business and looked
ahead too far at the probablfe intricacies
to be caught in a trap that way.

What would we do, supposing such a
thing were to happen? We would sim-
ply come up to your very doors, build
greenhouses, force our bulbs, get our
own retail stores, and wholesale ones also,
if needed, and give you daffodils from
Christmas to May, making you feel more
dejected than you feel at present. . There
are about 30,000,000 bulbs planted down
here by only four of the growers, at an
outlay to us of some $60,000 or more,
and the business is steadily increasing.
It is a well-known fact that the daffo-
dil's day is coming, as it is fast grow-
ing in favor, and for three to four weeks
in the spring it is going to hold its own.

The best way for you to solve this
problem is to get a move on you in the
spring and find an outlet in the near-by
smaller towns, if Philadelphia cannot
handle the 300 or 400 boxes that are
sent daily, for if you do not, we will.
Also advise your fellowmen to send ad-
vices daily, so that we can ease up or
send more as the case may be. There
need be no glut if you will use system at
your end.

Also remember, friend Beid, that when
you talk of our retiring from business,
you have to do with men who have got
the grit, and got the bulbs, and got the
dollars, too. Poat Bros.

MORE COMPETITION IN SIGHT.

We have noted the letters in the Re-
view regarding daffodils and believe Mr.
Reid has done grave injustice to the
southern shippers of the cut blooms. It
is true that they can be produced more
cheaply than those under glass, but it is

MOSCHOSMA RIPARIUM.

The merits of the new winter flower-
ing plant, Moschosma riparium, seem to
be overlooked by the majority of florists.
Like many other novelties, it has to go
through the ordeal of neglect or indif-
ference before its beauty and utility are
recognized.

It is a plant of the easiest culture, is
not particular about soils and needs no
pampering. Insects give it a wide berth.
The leaves have an agreeable, musky
fragrance. It is easily propagated. Cut-
tings put in 2-inch pots and placed in
full sunshine, just as we do with gera-
niums, are rooted in a few weeks. Plants
well grown for one year make fine speci-
mens, two to three feet high and as much
through. The growth is compact, large
plants having over 100 stems, which,
when densely covered with fine white,
spirsea-like flowers in midwinter, are
really beautiful oTbjects.

As a spraying flower in fine cut flower
work there is nothing more useful in its
season of bloom, which lasts about ten
weeks. It is in its best condition at
Christmas and New Year's.

E. Fryer.

NAME OF FLOWERS.

Please tell me the name of the flowers
[ enclose. These were in a sheltered
place soitth of a building, so frost did
not reach them. C. H. K.

The name of the flowers is Calendula
officinalis Orange King, commonly called
pot marigold.

SALTFORD AT HOME,

George Saltford, the New York whole-
sale florist, achieved his first distinction
as a violet grower at Rhinebeck, and he
still has interests "up the river." The
accompanying illustration shows him
keeping abreast of progress in the vio-
let world, picking flowers in one of his
houses. It is the report from Rhinebeck
that the stock throughout that district
is in excellent shape and that all which
is needed to give thoroughly satisfac-
tory flowers is a little cool weather. The
weather at Rhinebeck has been much too
warm in the last fortnight, tempera-
tures having gone up to almost 90 de-
grees around October 15, and under
such conditions the best of quality can-
not be expected, even if the plants are
clean and free from disease.

ENGLANiyS LARGEST PLACE.

During a recent meeting of the Horti-
cultural Trades' Association of Great
Britain an afternoon was devoted to
Thos. Roch ford's mammoth establish-
ment at Turnford Hall Nurseries, and
proved all too short for the purpose, as
will be easily understood when it is
stated that the glass houses cover an area
of fifty acres. One new house, just fin-
ished and being filled up with bulbs.

George Saltford Picking Violets.

measured 35x500 feet. The Turnford
Hall Nursery contains a stock of com-
mercial plants, mostly in enormous num-
bers and all showing marvelous cultiva-
tion. Kentias are grown literally-by the
acre, and range from seedlings to speci-
mens twenty feet high, the big palm
house being one of the finest sights. The
old latania is still grown here in quan-
tity, and there is a grand stock of the
newer Phoenix Roebelenii.

House after house of crotons was really
a blaze of color, and one of Pandanus
Veitchii was fine. Asparagus Sprengeri
and plumosus are in immense quantities,
and ferns also, though only in two or
three varieties. The now well-known
Todeaoides was in splendid order; one
plant over five feet across and perfect
all around. A number of this lovely
fern had been established on pieces of
dicksonia stems, forming exquisitely
draped pillars of greenery; more delight-
ful decorative subjects it would be diffi-
sult to imagine. A novelty in ferns was
shown, in a most beautiful variety of
Polypodium glaucum, but this will not
be in commerce for a while.

The stock of pot .roses outside, more
especially climbers, was an eye-opener,
some of the latter being fully twenty
feet long and splendidly furnished.
These were almost as attractive to a
grower as when seen in their beauty in
the spring. An interesting trial on view
was a large batch of Richmond, Liberty
and the new Rhea Reid, all planted side
by side in a house for comparison. The
new-comer is said by some to excel in
freedom of blooming, but the experi-
ment was not sufficiently advanced to
form a reliable opinion.

Tons of grapes had to be passed with
a rapid glance through the door, but
many of the members stopped to see the
working of a machine quite new to most
of them. This was in the nature of a
forge bellows and sent a strong air blast
down a flexible pipe. The current was
directed against each bunch of grapes
in turn, blowing out spiders and their
webs and any dust accumulated on the

berries. We could not help noticing'
that in all the ksgo vineries not a twig
was out of place or a superfluous leaf
allowed, the attention to detail being as
marked here as in the plant department.

An almost unique feature at Roeh-
ford's is the up-to-date cold storage
plant, the details of which were explained
by Mr. Kelsey. Two big engines supply
the requisite power, and it was curious
to see within a foot or two of the one
at work, a thick covering of hoar frost
on the pipes conveying the cold air to
the storage chambers. In the large stor-
age rooms were great stacks of boxes of
lilies of the valley, spiraeas, lilacs, lilies,
and other retarded stuff. These are now
the material of a large trade, as well as
supplying the immense requirements of
the firm. The bulbs, etc., are stored in
the exact temperatures found by prac-
tice to be the most favorable. Under
the old system, when they were stored
with other firms, it was found that the
temperatures were regulated to suit meat
and other stock and the results were so
unsatisfactory that the firm put up a
plant of its own, with most satisfactory
results.

At the entrance stands the institute
for the nursery employees, a model in
every way; fitted up with every possible
convenience from books to billiards, and
managed by the men themselves for the
common benefit.

St. Charles, III. — Henry Swaby has
completed his greenhouse, has it stocked
and is ready for business.

Newton, Mass. — On the evening of
October 10, F. William Rane and Harry
F. Hall, the owners of a stable and
greenhouse on Moffat road, suffered a
heavy loss by fire. Mr. Rane is state
forester and Mr. Hall is his business
associate. The fire, which was caused by
an explosion of the gasoline tank of an
automobile, destroyed the stable and its
contents, including two valuable horses,
and greatly endangered the greenhouses.
The damage was estimated at $7,000 and
is partly covered by insurance.

CURRENT NOTES.

The unseasonably hot weather we are
getting in the east is having a bad effect
on the flowers, and the Chicago show will
unquestionably suffer by the paucity of
exhibitors from this section, for that rea-
son. Temperatures of 85 degrees*in the
shade mean damped flowers and heavy
loss to exhflltion growers. And flowers
that do not damp blow open before they
are nearly the size that they otherwise
would be.

Any variety that ;jcon3|»s through such
a season as this u^i|ka^fed may well be
called a good one.i Wvery day brings
wails and lamentations tlirough the mails
and inquiries as to the best means to
prevent flowers damping. I know of
nothing more to do than shade the glass
well with lime wash and keep on all
the air possible night and day, using only
enough water to prevent the leaves from
wilting. After taking these precautions
it's a case of grin and bear it, and the
only ray of comfort is that one's neigh-
bor is just as badly off as oneself.

It is usual to get warm, clear days in
October, with cool nights, and in such
conditions flowers develop rapidly, but
when midsummer returns at this date it
makes the flowers so soft and flabby that
they wilt right down and damp terribly.
Growers who do not feed their mums are
not bothered to any great extent, as
plants that have not been fed with
nitrogenous manures produce harder
flowers; but if one is looking for large
flowers feeding is imperative and one
must take chances on overdoing it.

While my own flowers have not damped
80 badly, the forcing temperature has
brought out all the midseason kinds with
a rush and it becomes a question of hold-
ing back the flowers for the shows.

Commercially the situation is bad, be-
cause before Polly Eose and Pacific are
out of the way Beatrice May and Apple-
ton are crowding them in the market,
and the end is not yet. The pleasant
weather is also keeping the flower buyer
out in the country, enjoying himself,
when by precedent he should be estab-
lished in winter quarters in the city and
looking for greenhouse products.

The early bird, the grower who mar-
keted his product during the last days
of September or first days of October,
made more money than will the man who
is shipping now. C. H. Totty.

THE POEHLMANN MUM.

A couple of years ago Chrysanthemum
Mme. Sahut sported at the establishment
of Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton
Grove, 111., giving a white flower that
August Poehlmann liked so well he
worked up stock of it and named it Vir-
ginia Poehlmann, for his daughter. Last
spring stock was distributed to the trade
and it is turning out so well for every-

one so far reporting that the variety
promises to become a leader. In form
and substance the flower is like White
Bonnaffon, only it is much earlier. It is
a fine, solid flower and a splendid ship-
per. The photograph reproduced was
taken October 14 and shows a bench of
flowers grown without special care and
purely for commercial purposes. The
blooms were ready to cut a few days
ahead of Touset. It is not a tall-grow-
ing sort, usually a little over three feet
when the crown bud is taken. C. L.
Washburn says it is a winner commer-
cially and E. T. Wanzer says the same.
It will no doubt be planted largely next
year.

SCARCE VARIETIES.

Having made a batch of cuttings of
the pompon mums this fall, as I am
short of a certain variety, I am puzzled
4^ t(rthe best way to keep them over. I
have never made cuttings at this time of
the year before. My intentions were to
take them inside, but I see I have not
the room. How would it be to place
them in a coldframe about two feet deep
and cover them with leaves, and then
cover with sashf They are in 2-inch
pots and not well rooted as yet.

H. K.

The best way by far, if the plants are
of kinds that you wish to be sure of
keeping, would be to make room for
them inside, even if something else has

to be thrown out. The plants not being
well rooted yet puts them in pretty poor
shape to go through the winter in a cold-
frame. If you want to take the chance,
of course it can be done, covering the
plants with leaves after the weather gets
cold, but you must remember that a
2-inch pot plant, if it lives through the
winter, will be in pretty poor shape to
make many cuttings next spring. I would
say put the stock in a cold house and
give it a chance to do something.

CHRYSANTHEMUM GLORIA,

Elmer D. Smith, Adrian, Mich., thinks
he has a first-class thing in Chrysanthe-
mum Gloria. We have early yellows and
early whites, but a good pink is some-
thing which has been lacking. In Gloria
Mr. Smith hopes he has something which
will fill the bill. It was ready for ex-
hibition October 10, this year, and scored
eighty-five points before the Chrysanthe-
mum Society's New York committee on
that date. It was exhibited October 16
ft Cincinnati and Chicago, but the score
has not yet been announced. This is
a Japanese incurved, of Enchantress pink *
color. It grows four feet in height and
Mr. Smith describes it as "Best from
August 25 to September 5; other buds
lack in color. ' '

OBITUARY.

George J. Evans.

After an illness of eleven weeks,
■George J. Evans, of Flint, Mich., passed
away October 14.

Mr. Evans had been actively engaged
in landscape gardening and florists'
work all his life. Since his resignation
at the establishment of Walker Bros, he
had been engaged in business for him-
self. Although he had not a large estab-
lishment, he did a thriving business. Mr.
Evans was a native of England, coming
to this country in 1891, with his wife,
three daughters and one son, all of whom
survive. Richard ' E. Evans, florist, of
Salt Lake City, Utah, is a brother of
the deceased.

Mrs. Evans always has taken an active
p^rt in the business and will continue
it, with the assistance of her son.

The funeral of Mr. Evans was held
from St. Paul's Episcopal church at
ilint and the numerous flower tributes
which came from far and near told of
respect, love and sympathy.

Mrs. George Yantz.

Mrs. George Yantz, proprietor of the
Border Queen Greenhouse at Caldwell,
Kan., went recently to visit a daughter
near Little Eock, Ark., and while there
died suddenly of apoplexy October 9.
Mrs. George H. Yantz was born near
St. Louis, August 27, 1850. She moved
from there to Caldwell some thirty years
ago and, with her husband, had been en-
gaged in the florists' business for about
four years. She was a leading member
of the Woman's Relief Corps and the
Methodist church. Mr. and Mrs. Yantz
were fixed so they could enjoy life the
remainder of their time and it was a
great shock to Mr. Yantz when the tele-
grams came announcing her sudden sick-
ness and death,

Thomas H. Geraghty.

Thomas H. Geraghty, after a long and
painful illness with dropsy, died at New-
port, R. I., October 16, at the age of
€5 years. Though he was born in Ire-
land, Mr. Geraghty lived practically all
his life in Newport, his residence in the
United States dating back to 1858. He
worked at Stamford, Conn., first and
kfcen removed to Newport about forty-
five years ago. He was one of the best
known members of the craft in New-
port, though he had not done much work
during the last few years. He first
worked at his trade as a gardener for
several years and then went into busi-
ness with Thomas Galvin, being one of
tke first to establish a florists' business
in that city. He remained associated

Chryianthemum Gloria.

with Mr. Galvin for fourteen years, the
firm name being Galvin & Geraghty. Re-
tiring from this partnership, Mr. Ger-
aghty built and operated the green-
houses on Chapel street, Newport, now
owned by John H. Phelan.

Mr. Geraghty was an expert at his
business. He had a wide knowledge of
flowers, and his advice was much sought
by others in the trade. He wrote a great
deal on flowers and on landscape gar-
dening. He was for many years a mem-
ber of St. Mary's parish.

He is survived by two sons, John S.
Geraghty and Thomas H. Geraghty, Jr.,
and three daughters.

Mrs. Mary E. Johnston.

Mrs. Mary E. Johnston, widow of
Thomas J. Johnston, died at her home
in Providence, R. I., October 17, after a
brief illness. She was out riding last
week, when she had a slight chill and
had to be taken home. Pneumonia rap-
idly developed and she failed to rally.
Mrs. Johnston was the widow of Thomas
J. Johnston, one of the best known flo-
rists of Providence, who died suddenly
in August, 1907. A few weeks later a
son died, and with Mrs, Johnston 's death
the entire family is removed, except a
small boy. Since Mr. Johnston's death
Mrs. Johnston has conducted the busi-

ness established by her husband at 179
Weybosset street.

Gustav Harrison.

Gustav Harrison, of Washington, D.
('., formerly with the Elizabeth Nursery
Co., Elizabeth, N. J., died suddenly of
heart failure October 16. He was 42
years of age and a capable landscape '
architect.

Ed. Batey.

Ed Batey, who formerly conducted a
nursery in Missouri but lately had been
living at Nashville, Tenn., died recently
in California. He was 47 years old. He
had been in poor health for several years
and had gone to California some weeks
ago in the hope of benefiting his health.
His wife and only child — k son' almost of
age — were to have joined him about the
middle of this month.

Hanover, Mass. — J, W. Beal is build-
ing a large addition to his greenhouse.

Dorchester, Mass. — David Ring, for-
merly of Natick, has been engaged as
superintendent of the Roaemere Conserva-
tories, now owned by Eugene N. Foss.
In Natick Mr. Ring obtained a thorough
knowledge of the business while in the
employ of the Waban Rose Conserva-
tories and of Robert Montgomery. ~

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Th;^ National Council of Horticulture
has begun its autumn series of season-
able articles.

Florists who grow for their own re-
tail trade should plant a few bulbs of
the white Watsonia Ardemei.

A MOVEMENT is on foot in England
to raise funds for a memorial to George
Nicholson, author of Nicholson's Dic-
tionary of Gardening, who died redently.

If Constant Reader will refer to the
recent articles of Miss Gertrude Blair,
on window decorating, he will doubtless
find a suggestion that will cover his need.

With the national election less than
two weeks away, no one can find room
for complaint that business has been
' ' disturbed ; ' ' the campaign has been
quiet enough to suit any advocate of
longer presidential terms.

The weather is a most important
factor in the cut flower trade, and the
unseasonable heat of the middle of Octo-
ber was disastrous in its effects. After
a few days of cooler conditions, the fore-
caster says he sees nothing but warm
weather in sight for the greater part of
the country.

The premium list has been issued for
the exhibition of the Horticultural So-
ciety of New York, to be held at the
Museum of Natural History, New York
city, November 17 to 20. F. E. Pier son,
of Tarrytown, is chairman of the com-
mittee. Copies of the circular may be
had by addressing the secretary, 35 Lib-
erty street, New Yo<k.

LADIES' S. A. F.

Ladies ' Society of

The Ladies' Society of American
Florists have accepted the invitation to
the 'banquet Tuesday evening, November
10, at the Auditorium Annex, Chicago.
On Wednesday, November 11, the society

will give a theater party for its mem-
bers, who will please wear their badge
pin. Members of the Ladies' S. A. F.
will report to the chairman of entertain-
ment committee, Mrs. J. C. Vaughan, or
the secretary, Mrs. C. H. Maynard, Tues-
day morning, November 10, at the ex-
hibition hall.

Mrs. W. J. Vesey, Pres.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

President Traendly has decided that
the S. A. F. gold medal shall not be
awarded for any specific exhibit, but it
will be left to the judges to award it to
any exhibit, provided there is an
exhibit in the show which may be deemed
worthy of so high an award. It was
provided by the executive board of the
S. A. F.. also that the award of this gold
medal should not be complete until the
action of the committee had been spe-
cifically ratified by the executive commit-
tee of the flower show.

The mistake was made in the final edi-
tion of the premium list in giving the
judges nominated by the American Car-
nation Society. Instead of the names
given in the premium list the nominees
are Wm. Nicholson, Fred Burki and
Peter Fisher. Mr. Nicholson, who was
also one of the four nominees presented
by the Chrysanthemum Society, will
probably be withdrawn as a judge of
Division A. J. H. Burdett, Sec'y.

THE FLORISTS' BIBLIOGRAPHY.

The Review has received a copy of
"The Florists' Bibliography," in which
the author, C. Harmon Payne, says in his
preface: "We have had bibliographies
of garden literature in the past and most
of them render excellent service in their
way, but they are of little or no use to
the florist or to the literary worker in
floriculture, who, up to the present, has
had no authority to which he could turn
for information on the books relating to
subjects in which he may be chiefly con-
cerned. The main idea throughout has
been to fill a gap in horticultural lit-
erature by compiling an authentic work
of reference limited to books and treat-
ises exclusively, or almost exclusively, de-
voted to florists' ■ flowers and the flower
garden,"

How carefully the work must have
been done is shown by the fact that no-
where is included "The Florists' Man-
ual," by William Scott, the standard,
most largely sold, most widely known and
most frequently consulted treatise on
commercial floriculture that ever has been
printed in the English language, al-
though minor American works are in-
cluded.

THE COMMON ARBOR-VITAE.

Enclosed you will find a twig of a
spruce tree, with seed pods. Will you
kindly let me know what kind of a
spruce it is and also how I can raise
them from seed, when to plant and how
to treat them when they come up?

E. W. C.

The plant is the common arbor-vitae,.
Thuya oecidentalis. Sow the seed in
early spring in boxes of sandy loam and
keep either in a cool greenhouse or
trame. Keep the seedlings protected
from bright sunshine the first year. They
can be planted out in nursery rows the
second season. The seeds of this thuya
germinate freely, and the variety is ono
of the hardiest of our native evergreens.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The anticipated slump in the market
arrived the latter part of last week and
this week opened with the cut flower
center choked with soft stock, as the
result of the heat wave of the week be-
fore. The slump in prices was almost
as radical as was the advance in the few
days after frost hit the outdoor stock.
Then prices went up like a balloon. They
came down as though the parachute had
failed to work.

While there is far too much stock now
in the market, it is noticeable that a
great deal of it is poor and that the de-
mand is much stronger for the best
griide than it is for the cheaper stock.
The result is that strictly fancy stock
is holding up fairly well in price, while
the low grades are sacrificed. Some of
the buyers have a great deal of diffi-
culty in understanding why it is they
are required to pay such good prices for
the stock they want, while the counters
are loaded with flowers — only they are

not the grade of flowers people want.

Possibly the greatest change is in the
carnation situation. From a condition
of pronounced shortage, we now have an
oversupply. "While it was to be expected
that crops would come on, the warm
weather hastened them and took much
of the quality out of the flowers, and it
had been none too good before. There
are, however, enough fairly good carna-
tions to meet the present demand and
the poorest stock is selling at midsum-
mer prices.

The increase in mums also was large.
The better grades are selling well and
at prices which, for the best, are pos-
sibly as good as were realized at this
date last year; but the small stock, the
soft flowers and the ones that show care-
less growing, have taken a decided tum-
ble, and prices on these are now less
than was realized last year for the same
grade. There now is an abundance of
small mums which can be sold at from
5 cents to 12% cents, and the volume
of business is increased by the presence
of this stock.

Boses also are accumulating. Of

course they show the results of the heat,
as does everything else. Richmond is
specially abundant and slow sale. Some
nne stock is seen of this variety. Long
Beauties are coming in more heavily and,
because of the chrysanthemum competi-
tion, do not move the way they did when
mums were scarce.

Violets are holding their own as well
as anything, in price, not in quality, for
it has been hot at Bhinebeck and in
the cars. For the moment, Easter lilies
are not abundant and an occasional large
order boosts the price. Valley is in over-
supply. Green goods, too, are abundant;
Florida is sending plumosus and Spren-
geri and it is slow sale.

The first half of October was all right.
No one complained. The same period
last year is still remembered because of
its excellent business, and as a whole
the market probably has done fully as
much this year, but if warm weather con-
tinues the prospect is not good. A change
to cold, dark weather >will bring a re-
versal of conditions within forty-eight
hours.

In this connection it is worth whilii

noting that eastern stock is seeking this
market. Cattleyas especially are being
shipped here in quantity from the east-
ern seaboard. Valley, too, is being re-
consigned to this market by New York
wholesalers. Inquiries are received from
growers of all sorts of stock, including
Beauties, who want to divert a part of
their shipments from the eastern whole-
sale houses. A fortnight ago they would
have been welcome; now they are not
needed.

All Saints' Day.

Word has come from New Orleans
that weather conditions there have been
unfavorable for the outdoor mums and
that this market is likely to be called
upon to supply large quantities of stock
for October 31 and November 1. The
wholesalers are glad to hear it. They
are in a position to supply everything
that is wanted, without advancing prices,
and New Orleans business is being so-
licited with much more enthusiasm than
usual. It is a long haul. Frequently
an extra express car must be put on the
Illinois Central G o'clock train the night
that the All Saints' day shipments go
out.

Light Boxes.

Ever since the express companies put
on an arbitrary charge of 40 cents per
hundred for the collection and cartage
of empties to the depots, the wholesalers
as well as the growers have been figur-
ing on how to reduce the payments to
the express companies. Previously weight
never was considered and the boxes were
made heavier jAd heavier, with the re-
sult that charges were niad6 higher and
higher, even while rates remained the

same. Now the tendency is to do away
with wood boxes altogether. E. C. Am-
ling says nearly all of his growers have
adopted the corrugated pasteboard box,
because the average shipper saves in ex-
press charges the cost of the papei^ box
each time it comes in. The real saving
results from the fact that the boxes can
be bundled and shipped back by freight,
at slight cost, being good for several
trips. The stock travels in them as
well as in wood boxes and the grower
does not pay express on thirty to fifty
pounds of wood every time he sends in a
few hundred carnations.

Reinbergs Make a Trade.

Peter Beinberg and George Reinberg
have made an arrangement as the result
of which they will exchange stores. With-
in the next ten days Peter Reinberg will
move into the store now occupied by
George Reinberg and the latter will move
irom the Randolph street side of the
building to the Wabash avenue side. The
change gives each room more in accord-
ance with the size of the cut.

The Social Season.

John C. Enders, secretary of the
Wholesale Florists' Employees' Club,
says the success of their third annual re-
ception and ball is assured, because the
sale of the tickets has been larger than
ever. The date is Wednesday evening,
October 28, at Columbia hall, 63& North
Clark street. Last year the boys
achieved a first-class success.

The employees of the E. Wienhoeber
Co. will give their annual reception and
dance at the Svithoid Club, 1768 Wright-
wood avenue, on the evening of Novem-

Roses and Carnations

Our stock is well known to be the finest that can be produced and our crops are now just coming
on, so we can take the best of care of all orders. We look for a large demand from the south for

All Saints' Day

but expect the supply to be ample to take care of all orders without advance in prices.

Remember that while our reputation is made by the special fancy stock we produce in such large
quantity, we have shorter lengths for all who want them. So large a part of our trade calls for
"Fancy," we are able to make attractive prices to buyers of shorter stock, especially if a quantity is
taken. Our Carnations are now in good crop and we can supply all orders. Fine stock at reasonable
prices. No order too large for us to fill; no order too small to receive our careful attention. Standing
orders solicited

We are now prepared to supply a fine grade of ORCHIDS.

Various Notes.

Herman Meyers, formerly with Jensen
& Dekema, is now foreman at the Colum-
bine Gardens, Westminster, Colo., where
the greenhouses are planted almost en-
tirely to carnations.

Robert Johnstone, well known in this
market, is now on Valmora ranch, near
Watrous, N. M., seeking to regain his
health. The doctors told him that he
would succumb to tuberculosis if he re-
mained in this climate.

E. T. Wanzer, Wheaton, 111., is build-
ing a new house 20x81, to be used for
miscellaneous stock. They are now cut-
ting Virginia Poehlmann chrysanthe-
mum, which E. Scheffler, the foreman,
says easily beats anything else on the
place and is regarded as an ideal variety.
It will be grown largely next season,

displacing several other early varieties.
The carnations also are looking well. He
is one of Randall's shippers.

Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst, 111.,
are again cutting fine Killarney. This
is a new place and they did not get the
heating plant connected up until the
cold weather struck in August, with the
result that they had a bad case of mil-
dew. This has now been overcome.

Julius Schnapp, on Forty-seventh
street, maintains a neat store, with con-
servatory in the rear, and appears to be
making progress.

Miss Mamie Corbett, who has been
with Bassett & Washburn, is now keep-
ing the books for Peter Reinberg.

Peter Scrozynski has his place filled
with Bostons and rubbers. His Easter
lilies will all be longiflorums. He wants

late dug stock and says his largest batch
of bulbs was delivered and potted last
week.

Charles Fisk reports an occasional
burst of activity in the retail business
on the west side, but sftys that in gen-
eral things are moving along much as
usual.

Vaughan & Sperry say that business
with them is now running fifty per cent
ahead of last year.

Scheiden & Schoos are cutting some
fine flowers of their red seedling, which
has been named W. H. Taft. The stem
has considerably improved.

W. N. Rudd, at Mount Gfeenwood, is
again shipping chrysanthemums to the
E. F. Winterson Co.

John Kruchten & Co. say they filled
one order for 3,500 carnations last week,

w^ile stock still was scarce, and regarded
it as something of an accomplishment.

C. L. Washburn says that he does not
know of any recent introduction among
chrysanthemums that was of more im-
portance than the dissemination of Vir-
ginia Poehlmann, the white sport of
Mme. Sahut. It is a fine commercial
variety and all the growers who have it
this year will plant it more largely next
season.

August Poehlmann stated one day last
week that they were not yet cutting from
more than one-fourth of their place.
Perhaps the proportion has been in-
creased in the last few days, but there
is yet to come a large increase in the
market's supply through the bringing
into crop of the rest of their glass.

Sweet peas are again in the market
and it will not be long before the sup-
ply is large. E. H. Hunt had two ship-
pers who began last week, and others
who called attention to peas this week
were "Weiland & Eisch and E. C. Am-
ling. Doubtless others have them.

Joseph Foerster is now with the J. B.
Deamud Co.

A. P. I'rey, whose place at Crown
Point is known as the Eose Lawn Nur-
series, is growing primulas and other
plants for the trade. He has some fine
strains.

;' Wietor Bros, are cutting the Mrs.
Jardine rose in only limited quantity as
yet, but say it lobks well.

C. W. McK^llar says he sold as many
as 600 cattley?^s in a single day last
week, but that the demand here is not
sufficient to consume the overflow from
the eastern markets.

The J. A. Budlong establishment is

better pleased each season with the use
of grafted rose stock. Several new va-
rieties of roses are being tried this year.

Percy Jones says all the available
space in the Flower Growers' market is
rented.

Kennicott Bros. Co. says wild smilax
is selling better than "tame" greens,
for the indoor stock is going a little
slow since the fall openings.

John Zech says October is a much
better month for Zech & Mann than it
was a year ago.

F. F. Benthey reports Killarney as
selling out quickly, while Maid is slow
and Bride accumulates.

The Thompson Carnation Co. affairs
were again in court at Joliet, beginning
October 16.

DETROIT.

There is no Detroit news letter this
week, the state of the market and all
other considerations being overshadowed
by a piece of news that so engrosses the
attention of the correspondent, Hugo
Schroeter, that he finds himself in the
same position as the country newspaper
man famed in the annals of newspaper-
dom, who, when a big story ' ' broke out ' '
in his town, could only reply to the met-
ropolitan editor's wire for a report:
"All is excitement; can send nothing."
The fact is, B. Schroeter is now a grand-
father.

The young florist arrived at the home
of Hugo Schroeter Monday morning, Oc-
tober 19. Both mother and child are
doing finely.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Trade in the cut flower line was fairly
good last week, still not what it should
be, as we are having unusual weather for
this time of the year. The cool weather
has turned to midsummer warmth and,
if it keeps up, the flower market will
suffer severely. As it is now, chrysan-
themum blooms are crowding roses and
carnations and prices are considerably
lower on all grades. All the who^e-
salfers are receiving heavy sliipmepts of
mums. Monrovia, Polly Kose and Glory
of Pacific, ftJso Bergmann, are among
the varieties in.

Eoses almost could be called a glut,
including Beauties, Eichmond and Kil-
larney. Bride and Maid are of fine
quality, but prices in all grades are

The Market

A week ago we were talking frost and
preparing for winter. Before the week
was over we were sweltering in a tem-
perature of 80 degrees and Sunday was
nearly 10 degrees hotter, and the warm-
est October 17 ever known in New York.
This week opens about the same.

The intense heat has ripened every-
thing abnormally and rushed the crop of
roses and mums upon an already over-
crowded market. Of these, carnations,
violets and orchids there are more than
enough and prices are down on rock
bottom again. Beauties, the very best
of them, have sold as low as at $10 a
hundred. That tells the story. The
Beauty is the pulse of the market. When
that beats low the whole structure bare-
ly evinces life. The prices of mums
are not much, if any, more than half
those of a year ago.

Many varieties of orchids are here and
prices are barely steady. There are not
enough October weddings. One firm in
Rutherford cuts 500 cattleyas daily.
Imagine the number that now reach
l^eyv York! Enough to take care of all
the cities and the brides from the Hud-
son to the Pacific.

Violets begin to look natural in color
and size and there seems to be no fear
of any scarcity. I saw the best of them
going at 35 cents i hundred Saturday,
and this is not the only market now, it
seems, for the Rhinebeck product. Thou-
sands are shipped daily to Buffalo, Cleve-

But the man w^orth while, is the man 'who will smile when everything^ g^es dead wrong."

One had to be a philosopher to do much smiling in the season of 190S. But "there's a
good time coming" and "the sun is always shining somewhere." Browning said the real
man was "one who never turned his back, but marched, breast forward, never doubting
clouds would break, holding that we are baffled to fight better." So we look ahead
hopefully to the sure prosperity the future promises, with our eyes to the front, always.
"The habit of looking on the bright side of things is worth more than a large fortune."
"Don't worry over tomorrow; take care of today; tomorrow will take care of itself." Worry
is time wasted. The past is dead. "Let the dead and the beautiful rest." There is no
lasting foundation for any business that is not based on square dealing, liberality and fair
consideration of a customer's interests. On these cornerstones we have established our

The Market.

Fine summer weather, with the gera-
nium beds still in full bloom, the frost
only reaching the tender plants, is not
conducive to business, but there still is
something doing right along. The whole-
sale houses seem to clean up reasonably
well every day, but prices are not satis-
factory, the principal idea seeming to be
to never miss a sale.

Mums are the ruUng flower. Beauties
are next, with enough for everybody.
Roses are getting better every day and
are never short in supply. Carnations
are reaching all the way around since
mums have become plentiful. Violets
are going begging; the hot weather is
against them.

The retail stores all seem to be busy,
but their trade, as a rule, is for cheaper
stock; high prices are prohibitive in
every instance and good stock was never

The Market*

Trade has been fairly good for the
last two weeks. While there has been
little funeral work, there has been a
fairly good demand for stock in general.
Mume ar* coming in more plentifully,
but there heia been no glut 'of the«i here
80 far, as most of the grtrwers are cut-
ting them closely to fill orders. Carna-
tions are more plentiful and the first-
class blooms find ready sale, while the
poorer grades are hard to move. Roses
are fine now, considering the warm days

we have had in the last week, which are
bringing the mums out very soft.

Violets are coming in, but are rather
short-stemmed and move slowly. The
single ones, which are grown here most-
ly, are looking fine and promise to be
in good shape in the next week or so.
Greens are rather scarce at this time, as
the most of them are hardly ready for
cutting.

Various Notes. '

The Florists' Club decided to give its
first dance the week before Thanksgiv-
ing, and no doubt it will be a success, as
the boys are going to put their shoul-
ders to the wheel to outdo the last one.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut-
ting some fine Touset mums and En-

chantress carnations. Its roses are also
excellent, with good, long stems and fine
color.

Mrs. E. M. Krauss has been on the
sick list for several weeks, but from last
reports she is getting along nicely at
present.

Mrs. Geo. Bauman is able to be around
again, after a long siege of sickness.

State of Trade.

We are not able to give quite so good
a report of the business for last week
as for the previous week. Nevertheless,
we have no great reason to complain,
but feel justly satisfied with what busi-
ness there was. Stock is coming in more
plentifully, and this, of course, had some-
thing to do with the condition of busi-
ness. Carnations are more plentiful and
getting better each day. Boses are pick-
ing up again and Beauties are fine.
Callas are commencing to look natural
again, while chrysanthemums • are back
in full splendor, and look and sell as
well as ever.

The weather is bright and very warm
for this season of the year, and conse-
quently stock matures rapidly.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Risine Eastern Market.

Conditions in the cut flower market are
unusual. The frost of October 12 has
been succeeded by more than a week of
extraordinarily warm weather, weather
that would have been considered warm in
summer, but is now most unseasonable.
The effect has been to railroad all the
staple crops on an already weak market.
Add to this cosmos, never before so fine
and plentiful, a few dahlias, and some
of nearly every known variety of sum-
mer blooming flowers, and you will un-
derstand why it is that the demand is
not sufficient to absorb anything like the
supply of flowers coming into town to-
day.

There is a demand. While it is weak
and irregular in some quarters, in others
it is excellent, and there can be no ques-
tion that were the supply anywhere near
normal for this season, or were we to
have frost, which may come any night,
the market would improve decidedly.

The early varieties of chrysanthemums,
Glory of Pacific family, are already wan-
ing. Their place is being taken by the
advance guard of the midseason sorts.
Col. Appleton, Eobert Halliday, Mme.
Clementine Touset, Ivory and Pink
Ivory being prominent. Prices rule low,
fully one-third lower than at this time
last year. The quality is excellent. Care-
ful examination justifies the belief that
more chrysanthemums are being sold in
this market today than were sold a year
ago, but the total sales will not realize
the same value.

Boses are extraordinarily plentiful.
The smaller varieties are being moved in
thousand lots at special quotations to sell
them, it being impossible to dispose of
most of those that reach town in any
other way. The best still continue to
bring listed quotations, but they" must be
good indeed to do this.

More carnations are being sold than a
week ago, but they are not bringing any
more than last week's low quotations,
although the quality is improved. The
hot weather interferes with their dura-

bility. The call for valley is erratic j
some days it is excellent, on others poor.
Violets are in oversupply. So great is
the surplus that prices have reached a
level where some of the wholesalers find
it necessary to restrict production. Dou-
ble violets are improving. Among the
orchids, cattleyas are excellent value.
Oncidiums are plentiful, but dendrobiums
and cyps are rather scarce. There is a
moderate supply of Easter lilies and
callas. Pansies have made their appear-
ance and are welcome. Greens have been
selling better than for some time past,
Asparagus plumosus in bunches being in
brisk demand with those who make a
specialty of it.

Pompon chrysanthemums have made
their appearance. Autumn foliage and
wild smilax continue important factors
to the decorators. Fancy cosmos is prob-
ably better value for the money than
anything else on the list today.

Dahlias.

A question appeared in the Review
two weeks ago as to the best half dozen
varieties of dahlias for cut flowers. Feel-
ing that this subject is one of great im-
portance to the dahlia growers, three
wholesale houses, making a specialty of
this fall flower, have been asked to give
their selection of varieties. In each case
the number has been limited to six, as
specified in the question, although it is
not intended to give the impression that
a dahlia grower should limit himself to
that number of varieties. While a range
of color is desirable, it is also most de-
sirable that a grower should have enough
of one variety to enable his wholesaler to
fill orders in quantity for that particular
variety. The following are the list:

W. E. McKissick — Mary McCullough,
Jones, Nellie Stewart, Perle d'Or,
Kriemhilde, Katherine Duer.

Leo Niessen Co. — Jack Bosie, Perle
d'Or, Bruton, Sylvia, Kriemhilde, Lynd-
hurst.

S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. — Jack Eose,
Eloise (both seedlings of William F.
Bassett's), Yellow Prince, Kriemhilde,
White Kriemhilde, Pink Perle.

Mr. and Mrs. H. Bayersdorfer, to Simon
Casper, was made October 18. Tlie home
of the bride's parents, 1629 Diamond
street, was beautifully decorated for the
occasion. Toneware urns, supported on
tripods and filled with American Beauty
roses, were a prominent feature of the
decorations that elicited much praise

from the 500 guests who gathered to
felicitate the happy couple.

H. M. Weiss & Sons, Hatboro, Pa.,
have begun the construction of a new
half house 20x150 feet. Lord & Bumham

method of constructing a long house, the
idea being to build half this fall for
propagating purposes in the winter and
the balance next season. By so doing
the work can be distributed advantage-
ously.

Paul J. Klingsporn, who has been a
prominent figure in wholesale circles for
many years, has resigned his position

tised in his window a special sale of

roses, different varieties, at 35 and 50
cents a dozen, October 17, and sold 1,000
blooms, which was about four times his
usual sales for a Saturday in fall.

Lilley & Upton report the arrival of
the first Col. Appleton chrysanthemums
October 19. They find a good demand
for pompons, which they have in four
varieties.

The fall show of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society will open Novem-

The Market

Business is not at all what it ought to
be. A spell of torrid weather for several
days caused extreme dullness and, while
cooler conditions again prevail, flowers
are not selling well. Eoses are coming
forward in veritable shoals, many of
them of fine quality, but the demand is
poor and prices are far from remunera-
tive. Carnations, owing to the heat,
have arrived in increasing numbers, but
while the quality is steadily improving,
prices do not rise, owing to the flood of
chrysanthemums. Of the latter the sup-
ply of early sorts seems heavier than
usual and prices are much lower than a
year ago. Pink varieties have been ar-
riving pale in color, owing to the hot
weather.

Violets are becoming quite plentiful,
both singles and doubles being of good
quality. Sweet peas are seen in small
lots grown under glass, but are still
rather short-stemmed. Lilies have a
fairly steady call and lily of the valley is
in good demand. Dahlias are about over,
but some cosmos remains. In choice
flowers some nice gardenias, Bouvardia
Humboldtii and a good supply of Cat-
tleya labiata are forthcoming. Pot plant
trade remains rather sluggish ; probably
colder weather will stimulate it.

Qub Meeting.

There was a large gathering at the
regular monthly meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club October 20, 150
being present. The speaker of the even-
ing was William Downs, vice-president
of the club, who spoke interestingly on
"Fruit Culture Under Glass." Grapes,
peaches, nectarines, strawberries and
other fruits were referred to, the best
varieties of each being named and their
cultural needs spoken of. A good dis-
cussion followed the reading of the
paper.

A ' communication was read from the
Chrysanthemum Society of America, ask-
ing if the club would affiliate with it.
Messrs. Cameron, Kennedy and James
Wheeler were appointed a committee to
consider the proposition.

There were a good number of exhib-
its. These included J. D. Cockcroft's

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

(Continued From Page 18.)
they are commonly known, should not be
kept in a dust-dry condition during win-
ter. They want just sufficient moisture
to prevent them from shriveling, and at
the same time keep them from starting
into growth. They carry over well in
a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees under
a bench not too near heating pipes and
where they will not get wet feet. A
shed where they can be packed in tiered
shelves is an ideal place for wintering
them.

Fancy Caladiums.

The foliage on caladiums is commenc-
ing to die down and it is advisable to
gradually reduce the water supply. Do
this rather than lay the pots on their
sides at once. There are far too many
growers who persist in drying gloxinias,
begonias, gesneras, fancy caladiums and
similar plants as soon as the flowers or
foliage show signs of fading. A grad-
ual drying off ensures good, firm bulbs.'
The other course means that dry rot will
probably be the lot of many. Caladiums
do not need to be wintered in a higher
temperature than 55 to 60 degrees and
should not be laid near boilers or hot
water pipes.

Ten Weeks' Stock.

The demand for stocks in the markets
is somewhat uncertain. They are an
easily grown flower and can be produced
and sold profitably at a comparatively
low price. A batch of seed sown now
will give some useful material early in
the new year. Sow in flats and pot off
singly when large enough to handle. In
planting out from flats to the benches,
the little plants do not start as when
in pots. It therefore pays to pot off
singly rather than prick into flats. Such
varieties as "White Column, Beauty of
Nice and several shades of large flower-
ing ten weeks ' are all good for forcing.
To prevent damping off of seedlings,
cover the surface of the flats with sand
and keep on a light shelf.

Myosotis.

If you have rooted a few cuttings of
myosotis and have them in small pots,
plant them along the edges of the
benches where your snapdragons or
stocks are planted. They will grow and
flower well in such a position. There is
a moderate demand for bunches of for-
get-me-nots in winter and early spring,
and it can be used to advantage in de-
sign work where this particular sbad9 of
blue is wanted. M. dissitiflora is the
most useful variety for forcing.

It is putting it mildly to say the Ee-
viEW is the most helpful and most in-
structive paper I have ever read. When
one copy is read I can hardly wait for
another. — John Spencer, Decatur, Tex.

SOUTHERN BULB STOCK.

(Continued from page 11.)

also true that considerable capital and
labor are required to conduct the busi-
ness, and we doubt if it has been over-
done to the same extent as the produc-
tion of carnations, violets or almost any
other class "of cut flowers.

We think the future will bring lower
prices in the bulk of cut flower trade.
The wages earned by a large part of our
population do not warrant the purchase
of any high priced flowers, and that the
people want cheap flowers is evidenced
by the enormous quantities of carnations,
violets, etc., disposed of during market
gluts by the street peddlers and stands.
Cut flowers during winter have been for
the wealthy alone, and profits have been
so attractive that immense capital has
been invested in producing blooms in the
winter. This, of course, has resulted in
a large increase of wholesale dealers.

If the dealers would cut their commis-
sions to ten per cent and the retailers
would sell their flowers at a much closer
margin fdr cash, the trade would all be
benefited. It would result in less com-
petition from new competitors coming in,
attracted by the large per cent of profits,
and would gradually strengthen those
now established in the business.
' If the commission men and retailers

will not make this concession, and we be-
lieve they will not, the result will be that
the cream of the trade (the cash sales)
and a good volume of all the trade will
drift into the department stores, and
that will give a worse condition than
the present situation.

The southern cut daffodil blooms will
surely increase and some outlet will be
provided if the regular trade can not or
will not handle them. Unfortunately,
the first growers put on the market
American grown daffodil bulbs not prop-
erly grown, or varieties that cannot be
successfully produced in America. This
closed the markets to our bulbs and we
are forced to depend on the cut blooms
for most of the profit. The bulbs now
being offered on the market, however,
by the responsible Virginia growers are
guaranteed to give good bloom with
usual care and treatment, and as soon as
the trade is satisfied as to the good qual-
ity and early blooming of our bulbs for
forcing, there will be a decrease in cut
blooms owing to sale of the large bulbs
and replanting of small sets.

We are largely increasing our planting
and varying our product, and intend to
commence shipping daffodils about March
1, continuing with Darwin tulips, peonies,
Spanish and German iris, and closing
with gladioli in Julv. Thus we would
give nearly five months of a steady sup-

ply of cut flowers, and the trade seems
to be favorable to a change from the
usual roses, carnations, etc., which are
on the market all through the winter.

CANANDAIGUA, N. Y.

A Visit to Robert Ballantyne.

The estate owned by Mrs. F. F.
Thompson, over which the genial Eobert
Ballantyne presides, is one of the most
beautiful spots imaginable. Overlooking
the fine stretch of water composing
Canandaigua Lake, the planting has been
so arranged as to permit charming views
in every direction.

At the time of my visit everything
was looking its best. The new Japanese
garden, just finished, is considered to be
the finest in America. Native experts,
assisted by Mr. Ballantyne, have been at
work on it for a year. The flower gar-
den was a blaze of color. Every known
variety of hardy annual that flourishes
here is grown, giving the place an ap-
pearance of immense experimental
grounds. One variety of aster, Mikado,
was the gem of the collection.

To enumerate every good thing would
take up too much space here, but those
luscious muskmelons were irresistible.
The variety is Irondequoit and it is con-
sidered to be a gem for both frame and
hothouse. It is not a new variety and
deserves wide cultivation. Creole Beauty
is another grand sort. Chasselle's Vibert
ia a fine white grape for indoors. Or-
chids are grown extensively. A clever
contrivance for cypripediums is a square
tub with slats placed one inch apart, the
tub standing on legs and thus allowing
a free circulation of air. The plants
are in perfect health.

Among bedding plants, the old favor-
ite single General Grant is the most pop-
ular geranium. Jean Viaud is another
excellent variety. M.

New Haven, Conn. — Andrew Mc-
Crea's store, on Meadow street, is said

character of the window displays.

Bbookling, Mass. — Olmsted Bros,, the

FLORAL PARK, ;^.Y,

In 1874, when John Lewis Childs lo-
cated on the Hempstead plains and turned
a portion of that unsightly sedge into a
flower garden, which grew larger every
year, he was building better than he an-
ticipated, for from the foundation upon
which he only hoped to build a success-
ful business has developed a beautiful
and largely self-supporting village. At
present there are not as many large
fields of flowers at Floral Park as
formerly, for the reason that the town
is growing fast and the land became
too valuable as residential sites, and Mr.
Childs thought it best to purchase more
land further east. He therefore secured
about 600 acres at St. James and Stony
Brook, and nearly 200 acres at Franklin
Square and Garden City. But there are
enough flowers grown at Floral Park
each year, to maintain its reputation as
the floral village. Last season Mr. Childs
sold over 3,000,000 gladiolus bulbs,
which were shipped to all parts of the
world. Some of his special stock he has
grown on his place at Pasadena, Cal.,
which he calls the California Floral
Park. He has a four-story brick build-
ing here, 80x100 feet, which is used for
storing gladioli and other bulbs, but
still its capacity is barely sufficient to
meet the requirements. His seed build-
ing, in which the offices and retail pack-
ing and mailing departments are lo-
cated, is entirely covered on the outside
with Boston ivy, which makes it one
of the prettiest office buildings located
on Long Island. Ex-Postmaster Arthur
H. Goldsmith is general manager for
Mr. Childs, while Isaac S. Hendrickson
has charge of the wholesale department.

The publishing department, where Mr.
Childs has all of his printing done, is
run under the name of the Mayflower
Publishing Co., and occupies a two-story
brick building, in which is installed the
machinery necessary for turning out
catalogues. Major John F. Klein is
manager of the printing department.

In the department of floriculture is
J. Boscoe Fuller & Co., who do a gen-
eral catalogue business and ship quanti-
ties of bulbs, seeds and plants to all
pxxlip of the United States, as well as
to ll;y|g#.jponnt>!^a3. Frederick JM-
perthwait is inanag'er:;^r the firm.fl^
" The cut flower. ^sil|B^p is handle by
C. H.«Ailen, Joel TJ. Hayden, Charles D.
Stryker and William Siebrecht. They
grow carnations principally. C. L.
AllM^'who is one of the pioneer seeds-

men of Long Island, has an office and
storeroom in Floral Park, but has most
of his seed grown in the eastern section
of the island.

Watertown, Mass. — John K. Jensen
is building a greenhouse, 15x108, on his
property at 276 Main street.

Newton Center, Mass. — It is said
that Eobert Eodden has recently had one
of the most gorgeous displays of asters
to be seen in Massachusetts.

Needham, Mass. — Edward E. Eim-
mele is building another greenhouse, in
addition to the three that he already pos-
sesses. The larger part of his product is
sold in Dedham.

Worcester, Mass. — The building con-
taining Fisher's flower store was burned
on the night of October 14, in the fire
which also destroyed the Notre Dame
church and nearly an acre of small
buildings.

AHIBIGAN 8BKD TBADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., Watson 8. Woodruff, Orange, Conn.;
First Vice-pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.;
Bec'y and Treae., C. £. Kendel, Cleveland.

The third shipment of Japanese longi-
florum bulbs reached Chicago last week.

Prof. W. F. Massey comments that
Maule's Earliest and Earliana tomatoes
seem to him to be identical. The former
was introduced first.

Charles P. Guelph, of the Jerome B.
Eice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., is at
present making his headquarters at Co-
lumbus, O., Chittenden hotel.

W. W. Eawson & Co., Boston, have
been exhibiting largely at local and near-
by fairs and flower shows, believing it
good advertising for both fl^jwer and veg-
etable seed departments and the plant
department.

There is said to be a wide range in
the deliveries made by the different
growers of peas for the canning trade,
some delivering only twenty-five per cent,
while others are delivering from fifty to
sixty per cent.

A SUMMER visitor to the trial grounds
of Watkins & Simpson, London, says it
was notable the vigorous manner in
which selection is carried out in flower
seed crops grown there, and the result-
ing improvement in the strains.

C. A. Tenny is the manager of the
Horr-Warner Co., one of the largest
growers of onions on the muck lands of
Wayne and Medina counties in Ohio.
About 200 bushels of onions are planted
each year for seeds, the selection of
bulbs for planting being made from the
general crop as the crop is being har-
vested.

At Chicago, October 20, timothy seed
was steady. October closed at $3.50 bid,
and March $3.75 bid and $3.82M.' asked.
Country lots, $2.30 to $3.40. Clover seed
was firmer at $7.75 for October and $6
to $7.50 for cash lots. At Toledo, clover
seed was, cash, $4.72i4; October, $4.70;
December, $4.77 V2; March, $4.90; No. 2,
$4.52; No. 3, $4.40;" rejected, $4.25. Al-
sike, prime, $8.80.

The argument that because the purity
of fertilizers can and has been success-
fully required by law to be guaranteed,
the same guarantee should be required
for seeds, is a weak one. Fertilizers are
the product of men and machinery;
seeds are the product of nature. There
would be no need for any sort of a guar-
antee if it were not a characteristic of
human nature to want to get something
for nothing, or as near to it as possible.

A verdict has been rendered in favor
of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago,
amounting to $255.25, against the Big
Four railroad, growing out of a suit for
damages to a shipment of onion sets
made a year or two ago over the line of
the defendant. The shipment was sent
to an Indiana point and upon arrival at
destination the consignee declined to ac-
cept the shipment, claiming that the
onion sets has been damaged by delay.
Thereupon the Leonard Seed Co. in-
structed the railroad to return the ship-
ment and verdict was given for the full
amount of the claim.

THE ASTER SEED CROP.

Writing under date of October 17,
James Vick's Sons, Bochester, say:

"We expect to harvest at least an
average crop of aster seed. The early
varieties are already gathered. The seed
of these is plump, the conditions at har-
vest time insure good vitality, and the
yield is satisfactory. Our large acreage
of Branching varieties is maturing rather
slowly, but we expect to harvest the
earlier plantings this month. With the
exception of about two acres flooded in
July, the losses of plants are trifling and
we have had fine weather for the seed to
set and mature. The use in several of
our main plantings of strains that we
have been breeding up for some time
will cut down the yield somewhat, as the
improved strains have the main branches
practically free from lateral buds, and
the flowers more double than formerly.
Still, the conditions of growth are so
favoraole that we expect to be able to
meet all our requirements.

' * Our other seed crops — a few acres of
Phlox Drummondii and a number of spe-
cialties in flowers and vegetables — have
nearly all yielded satisfactory crops and
have been harvested under ideal condi-
tions."

TOMATOES FOR CANNING.

By far the larger portion of the acre-
age devoted to tomatoes is for the pur-
pose of supplying fruit for the canning
factories, and it is the demand of the
canneries which, more than any other,
has given the great impetus to tomato
culture in the United States. Canned
tomatoes as an article of trade is said to
owe its origin to Harrison W. Crosby,
who made his first venture in 1848, while
steward of Lafayette College, Easton,
Pa. There was a ready demand for the
goods, and, with increased supply and
improved machinery the cost has been
greatly reduced. With this reduced cost
the output of the factories has increased
to an almost incredible extent. The
total output of the United States for

1887 was about 3,000,000 cases, of
twenty-four cans each. Jn 1894 the out-
put was nearly doubled; while in 1904
the trade had grown to 9,00(^000 cases,
and in 1907 the pack reported was ap-
proximately 13,000,000 cases. This year
has not been a favorable one for toma-
toes, but the pack doubtless was as large
as in 1907.

VALLEY PIPS.

The following extracts from the
Deutsche Gartner Zeitung show how
varied are the reports from the centers
of lily of the valley culture in Germany,
and the expectations of the cultivators
in regard to the crop of the present
year :

"The lily of the valley trade in the
autumn of last year was good, high
prices were paid for crowns, and they
were soon disposed of. The promise for
the present year is middling good. The
inquiry has been equal to that of 1907."
— H. D., Schulp, Holstein.

"The harvest of 1907 in this neigh-
borhood was unfavorable. The price
here, as in previous years, stood at 20 to
25 marks per thousand. If at length
dry weather ensue no premature bloom-
ers will appear, and there will then be a
prospect of satisfactory ware; but that
the crop will be an abundant one is
doubtful, for an examination made in
July and the early part of August
showed that in my grounds not many
flowering buds (crowns) were discover-
able. The future crop of good crowns
that will be harvested this autumn is
already in firm hands at the same prices
as those of previous years. ' ' — O. G.,
Grabow-on-the-Oder.

"The practice of keeping the surplus
of the lily of the valley crowns for
longer than one year in artificially cool
storage has greatly increased since 1892,
when it began. Last year too many
crowns were stored, with the result that
large numbers were kept for two sum-
mers, and as a consequence they had no
value; last spring much was left in the
stores. The price has fallen from year
to year and this season it is not likely
to advance, seeing that the condition of
the purchasing public in general compels
it to be extra careful in the matter of
articlea of luxury. Opinions in regard
to the present year's harvest differ con-
siderably. Following on a continuous
wet period, lasting to the middle of the
month of May, a great drought lasted till
St. John's day, which did not particu-
larly favor the development of blossoms.
Still the harvest of crowns, in spite of
minor exceptions, will be too large." —
H. B., Acterschlag, near Bargedorf.

"Last fall good crowns for export
were, as a result of the weak crops, very

scarce, and higher prices were paid than
in some previous years. Planting crowns
were from the same cause not to be ob-
tained. The lily of the valley trade in
Stettin was languid the entire winter.
This was chiefly due to the general lack
of money in the community and the re-
tarded competing with the fresh forced
crowns. Still it must be allowed that
owing to the retarding method, the lily
of the valley crop is disposed of to a
considerable proportion, and that the re-
tarded crowns are brought on at a sea-
son when fresh forced lily of the valley
are not obtainable. The spring and sum-
mer weather has been favorable, and a
good harvest of crowns is expected. ' ' —

WORK IN HOLLAND.

The Holland bulb growers have been
favored by unusually fine weather for
their annual planting and the work has
been pushed along earlier than usual. No
accurate information is available as to
the quantities planted, but of narcissi it
is undoubtedly less than usual, for there
has been little profit in these the last
few years, and in spite of l«wer prices
made to clear there is a surplus this sea-
son. Hyacinths have sold out clean and
the growers are anxious to get a large
crop in 1909. Contrary to the expecta-
tions of some who were disturbed by the
cutting down of orders by forcers in
America, and by slack business condi-
tions in other countries, tulips have
cleaned up well at satisfactory prices,
only a few of the higher-priced sorts be-
ing left in the hands of most of the
growers. Shipments, of course, are now
at an end.

Holland commenced to export bulbs in
considerable quantities at about the mid-
dle of the eighteenth century, and the
industry has not only increased continu-
ously since that time, but recent returns
prove that the volume of trade is greater
now than in any previous year. Exact
returns have been published since 1897,
in which year the total exports were
5,701,798 kilograms (kilogramme =
2.2046 pounds). In 1907 the exports
were 15,277,400 kilograms. According
to the published figures. Great Britain
and Ireland take forty per cent of the
exports, Germany twenty-five per cent,
the United States eighteen per cent, the
northern European countries nine per
cent, and France and other Latin coun-
tries five per cent. It is estimated that
there are upwards of 2,000 growers of
bulbs, and 150 of these are exporters,
who are organized as the Dutch Bulb
Exporters' Association, of which S.
Kruyff is president.

Vegetable Forcing.

New Castle, Pa, — George Weinschenk
is building a large greenhouse, to cost
$10,000, at Washington and Mill streets,
on Mercer street.

Aurora, III. — W. B. Davis, the well-
known vegetable forcer, is recovering
from his recent illness, but his physi-
cian tells him he must take things easy
for awhile.

George Stewart, of Sloatsburg, N.
Y., who is a successful grower of mush-
rooms, cultivates them under his green-
house benches. The material for the
beds is formed into ridges, one on each
side of the house. The beds are covered
with marsh hay, in order to retain the
moisture and regulate the temperature.

VEGETABLE MARKETS.

New York, Oct. 20. — Boston cucum-
bers, $3 to $5 box; mushrooms, 25c to
50c lb.; tomatoes, 8c to 12c lb.

Chicago, Oct. 21. — Leaf lettuce, indoor
grown, 15c to 20c ; cucumbers, 50c to $1 ;
parsley, 8c to 10c doz. bunches; mush-
rooms, 15c to 50c lb.

DWARF CHAMPION TOMATO.

A writer in the English Gardeners'
Magazine introduces Dwarf Champion as
"America's best tomato" and says in
part: This tomato is largely grown in
the dififerent states, but, as far as I am
aware, it is but little known in the
British Isles. Extended trial has given
me a good idea of its qualities. In
growth it is distinct from any other
form I. have met with. Short and sturdy,
dose-jointed, with thick, massive leaves,
it forms a conspicuous object, whether
utilized for glass or outdoor culture.

The fruits are large, about seven to
the bunch, fleshy, and with fewer seeds
than any other variety I know. In color
it is a bright magenta-red, different to
the crimson-hued forms we usually grow,
and connoisseurs to whom fruits have
been submitted have stated that it is the
best-flavored tomato they have tasted.

For low houses, where the ordinary
varieties seem too rampant, this tomato
should find a place, and for outdoor cul-
ture it is worth a good trial. Under both
phases of culture it has proved itself a
meritorious cropper. It cannot be classed
as an early tomato, but for maincrop
purposes it should serve well.

GROWERS TO ORGANIZE.

About September 1 E. A. Dunbar, sec-
retary and sales manager of the Ash-
tabula Lettuce Growers' Association, sug-
gested the formation of a national or-
ganization of greenhouse vegetable grow-
ers. The suggestion looked good and by
way of finding out what other growers
thought of the plan letters were sent to a
dozen or more of the more prominent
growers in different sections asking their
opinion. Their answers were so favorable
that it was decided that the only thing
necessary to make such an organization a
success was to make a start. Therefore
the following call was issued:

Believing that a national organization
of growers of vegetables in greenhouses
will be of great benefit to all engaged in
this branch of horticulture, by the dissem-
ination of useful information through
personal contact and an exchange of

PACIFIC COAST.

PORTLAJJD, Ore. — A greenhouse is be-
ing erected in Columbia park, on the
Peninsula. It will cost $3,800.

A STOCKTON ESTABLISHMENT.

Schmitz & Dobner do a nice business
at Stockton, Cal., where they have a
store and city oflBce at 26 South Califor-
nia street and greenhouses^ and nursery
on North street, between Sutter and
California streets. With telephone connec-
tion, the two places are in close touch.
In the accompanying illustration the
range of glass is shown on the left,
with a cloth house at the right. The
nursery covers several acres and both
under glass and in the open a general
line of stock is grown for retail trade.
It will interest eastern growers, perhaps,
to note that Stockton is in about the
latitude of Richmond, Va., and a much
greater variety of stock is grown than
is handled by the average florist on the
Atlantic coast.

FALL PROSPECTS.

The rain, which has made its appear-
ance in the form of a few showers in
the central portions of the Pacific coast,
has awakened a feeling among the grow-
ers that the nursery season has about
opened for the fall and there is much
speculation as to what the next few
months will bring forth.

special locality. Outside of these there
is little to report, for the planters are
buying sparingly of miscellaneous sorts.
Regarding prices asked, will remark that
they are cheaper than those of last sea-
son, although there was a great differ-
ence between the figures asked at the
early part of last season and those at
which the same qualities of stock could
be bought when the season was well ad-
vanced. From a fruit-grower's stand-
point there is little to encourage the
heavy planting of trees as an invest-
ment, for the low prices obtained for
fruit, both in the open market and at
canneries, have been a discouragement.

Grape vines have not been, except in
a few instances, great money-makers.
The low prices offered by the wineries
and the difficulty in disposing of raisins
at a fair profit, have united to keep the
demand for grape vines down.

With hardy nursery stock I find there

have been a fair number of orders
booked for special articles. Commencing
first with the growers of fruit trees, the
demands are heavy for certain kinds of

planted for some particular purpose in a

have been some large orders placed by
parties who are buying up large tracts
of land and subdividing them for small

the plantings have principally been of
sidewalk trees and other suitable stock
that will make an immediate showing.

Along other lines the demand has been
light, but it is yet early in the season
and there may be a great awakening
that will make the season one of the
best in recent years.

Fall bulbs were moving slowly, but the
last few days have made a great change
in the prospects and, with the advent of
rain, we may expect a wholesale clearing
out of bulb stocks in the next few weeks.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

The welcome rain has made its appear-
ance and every one feeis that its fresb«rf-
ing qualities may bring the retail flo-
rists a share of the generally reviving
trade. There is, owing to the tremendous
number of mums that are being brought
into town, a slump in prices in other
lines of stock. An effort had been made
by a majority of the growers to keep
quotations well up on the new crop of
roses and carnations, but there has been
such an excess of stock cut during the
last two weeks that prices have gone to
smash and the retailers can practically

make their own figures. The weather
during the next few weeks will regulate
this to a large extent, for if it is to be
warm and salubrious the chrysanthemum
crop, which is of large proportions, will
keep other lines of stock from getting
up the line.

Violets are abundant and arc selling
well, probably better than anything else.
Sweet peas are scarce and the publi-j has
almost ceased calling for them.

Business in a general way is only fair,
with spurts here and there of funeral
work.

OMAHA.

At the annual meeting of the Omaha
Florists' Club, held in the city hall, it
was decided to give a flower show in
Omaha next year, if it is possible to get
enough people interested in the project.
Several members of the club will attend
the national flower show in Chicago, No-
vember 6 to 14, and it is hoped that
they will be able then to make ar-
rangements for the Omaha show.

The oflScers elected for the ensuing
year were: President, L. Henderson;
vice-president, G. Swoboda; secretary, J.
H. Hadkinson; treasurer, G. Soransen;
trustees, P. B. Floth, A. Hooge and O.
Herman.

The 34th annual convention will be held at Ro-
chester, June, 1909.

It is reported that Start Bros. Nursery
Co., Louisiana, Mo., is planning to es-
tablish a nursery in the Yakima valley,
in the state of Washington.

W. F. Heikes, of Huntsville, Ala., man-
ager of the Huntsville Wholesale Nur-
sery Co., was in Biloxi, Miss., for several
days recently and was the guest of J. A.
Brodie, manager of the nursery farm to
the north of the bay, which is a branch
of the Huntsville establishment.

William A. Peterson, of the Peter-
son Nursery, Chicago, who recently sold
about forty-six acres of his property to
the drainage trustees, has made partial
amends for the loss of that ground by
purchasing twenty acres at the southeast
corner of Foster and Kedzie avenues, for
$20,000.

The nurseries at McClenny, Fla.,
namely, the Griffin Bros. Co., the Barber-
Frink Co., and the Glen Saint Mary
Nursery Co., report an exceptionally
bright outlook for this shipping season.
Already they have orders booked running,
up to over $100,000, and each is busy
preparing for fall shipments.

LILACS WANTED.

Will you tell me from whom I can pur-
chase the lilacs mentioned, and some of
them illustrated, in the Review for Octo-
ber 15? I would like to buy some of the
best and newer varieties, but would pre-
fer to get them on their own roots.

course, on the extent of the business
transacted, although it will bo well to
make generous allowance for an enlarged
business. And the builder must bear in
mind that it is fully as important to
keep excessive heat from the. plants as to
prevent their being subjected to too low
a temperature. In fact, it often hap-
pens that- more stock suffers from heat
than from cold. M.

PEONIES.

I have some peonies which were plant-
ed three years ago in deep, rich soil,
where they get plenty of water. But
80 far the clumps have not produced any
blooms, although they have had the best
of care. Last spring a number of buds
appeared, but dried and wilted before
opening. The foliage also gradually
turns brown and dies, but comes up the
ilext year, apparently strong and healthy.
They are planted in a field where they
get the full sunlight. Would you ad-
vise transplanting them under trees,
where they receive partiaf shade! The
sunlight is very strong and bright here
in New Mexico. K. C. C.

It is to be doubted if you will suc-
ceed in growing and blooming peonies
satisfactorily in your state. New Mexico.
CJould you be certain that they were suffi-
ciently moist at the root, they would no
doubt withstand the hot sun. Dryness
will prove fatal to them, however. You
might try them in partial shade and if
you can mulch them and afford occa-
sional waterings, you will possibly be re-
paid by some flowers.

GRAPE VINES.

I intend to plant grape vines on a
south slope in New Mexico. What sort
of soil should be used and when and
how should they be treated after being
put inf K. C. C.

Allow the grape vines ten feet apart
•ach way. You can tie them, either to
posts separately, or as many prefer, a
three-wire trellis. Early spring plant-
ing for these is to be preferred to fall.
Prune back the shoots to two or three
•yes to promote stronger growths. Keep
the ground well cultivated during the
active growing season. One strong shoot
is sufficient for each plant the first sea-
«on. Kemove any extra and weak
growths. Plant varieties which succeed
well in the southern states, as many of
tne best northern ones do indifferently
there.

The character of the soil matters less
than most people would imagine. Some
grow them well in heavy clay, others
equally well in sandy or gravelly soil. It
is better to use fertilizers rather than
barnyard manure. The latter makes the
land too rich and keeps the plants grow-
ing longer than they ought to. Such
fertilizers as cotton-seed meal added to
Kanit and ground bone are suitable.

Pinch the main shoot once to make it
branch the first season.

The Market.

There is a general increase in the vol-
ume of business, as the flower lovers are
moving back to town. Some important
weddings and funerals were factors last
week. At the funeral of Dr. Oilman,
president emeritus of Johns Hopkins
University, who was buried at Norwich,
Conn., there were designs estimated at
$1,000 in value.

The chrysanthemum will for the next
few weeks monopolize attention and,
from present indications, the crop will be
a large one and of fine quality. There
was an enormous quantity of Polly Eose
and Monrovia at the Florists' Exchange
on Tuesday. There seems to be no rea-
son why 80 many early mums should be
planted, instead of late ones, as they al-
ways come when there is so much out-
door stuff on the market.

Violets continue to improve in quality,
and prices are a trifle better. There
seems to be no good reason why they
siiould not be grown and sold on a pay-
ing basis, though the wailing Jeremiahs
seem determined to paint it black instead
of blue. Carnations are arriving in large
lots. Bosea could be bought on the street
at 5 cents per dozen, and cosmos at 15
cents per hundred.

Various Notes.

Thos. H. Paterson has leased bis
greenhouses to Guy Strickland, who was
formerly with Robert Graham for seven
years. He will grow cut flowers.

The GriflSth & Turner Co. has opened
a large warehouse on North street, so as
to be convenient to the railroad.

The Market.

There have been several showers since
the drought and there is no scarcity of
rain at present. It is cold — regular fall
weather. Outdoor palms, porch-boxes
and vases have been taken in, to avoid
freezing. Chrysanthemums are getting
more plentiful. They are used in pro-
fusion at Hallowe'en parties, which have
already commenced to be in vogue. Oc-
tober weddings are becoming almost as
popular as June weddings in this section.
There will be several society weddings
in the city this month.

Various Notes.

Robert Wallis has accepted a position
as rose grower in Terre Haute, Ind.

Mr, Hall, representing Reed & Keller,

JERSEY QTY, N. J.

A pretty home wedding took place
Monday evening, October 12, at the resi-
dence of John T. Withpra, wVipn Miss
Bertha Marie de Greiff became the bride
of M. Vanderhave. Miss »de Greiff ar-
rived Monday morning, on the steamship
Rotterdam, from Apeldoorn, Holland,
and the ceremony was solemnized in her
native tongue by the Kev. Dr. Fagg, of
New York city. Mr. Vanderhave is a
graduate of the botanical school of Hol-
land, and has spent several years in the
East Indies, Belgium, Germany, etc., be-
fore coming to America. He is at pres-
ent superintendent of the Shatemuc Nur-
series, Barrytown, N. Y. Everybody
was made happy with an elaborate sup-
per, after which Mr. and Mrs. Vander-
have left for New York. Among the
out-of-town guests present, in the trade,
were Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Wise, of
Boston.

VAYSIDE NOTES.

The Yuess Gardens Co., of Newburgh,
N. Y., is the first in the local market
with yellow chrysanthemums. Monrovia,
Glory of the Pacific and Polly Rose make
a trio that sells at sight. Ernest Preston
succeeded Donald Cameron some time
ago as grower, and is showing excellent
results. The bulb department is rush-
ing out orders. President Harry Cath-
cart is making plans for more storage
capacity. Walter Mott is busy on liter-
ature for the call of spring. Quite an
idea prevails vdth some market gardeners
in this section — the sowing of radishes
with turnips. As the radishes mature
early they are drawn, allowing the tur-
nips to enlarge.

The Schaefer Floral Co., of Newburgh,
is making special sales on Boston ferns.
Scottii is popular and, being well grown,
pushes the old favorite rather hard.
Whitmani sells well.

Lewis Wood, of Wood Bros., Fishkill,
N. Y., says his only regret is that he
has not planted a larger area with the
two gems, Rhea Reid and My Maryland,
which he considers the best roses yet
sent out. They cannot begin to supply
the demand for the blooms. M.

Reading, Pa. — John H. Kepner, of

CLEVELAND.

The Market

The arrival of warm weather brought
an increase in stock of all kinds. Prices
weakened somewhat, but there was no
great overstock. Boses have shown a
marked improvement of late, and are
now of good quality as well as quantity.
Carnations are of a better grade than
ever before seen here at this time of
the year. Mums are plentiful and good,
at from 6 cents to 20 cents. Double
violets are received daily and are mov-
ing well. Some extra fine valley is to
be had at 3 cents and 4 cents. Greens
of all kinds are plentiful and sell well,
except smilax, which is moving slowly.

Various Notes.

A visit to John Kirchner found every-
thing in fine shape. All hands were busy
with funeral work, among which was a
pillow of red and white Kaiserin roses,
• which was fine.

F. W. Zeichman has repaired and
painted his whole plant and the place is
in better shape than it has been for some
time. The stock is also looking well.

Charles Bartells, of North Olmsted, is
sending in a fine cut of carnations at
present.

The F. E. Williams Co. is cutting
large quantities of White Enchantress
and Beacon carnations, which are picked
up at sight.

Mr. Bock has bought the retail busi-
ness of Henry Eickhoff and will carry
on the trade as done by the former
owner. B.

RocKFOBD, III. — Henry Mueller, for-
merly of Cinciniiati, O., has purchased
H. S. Morton's greenhouses, on Chapin
pjace, and will continue the business
tUere.

, Lowell, Mass. — S\^anson & Dellgren
have made thorough repairs in their
greenhouses and have erected »o^b addi-
tional benches. Most of their ''space is
used for carnations, but they also grow
violets and sweet peas.

(JreenhoBse Beating.

The Review is glad to answer in this
department any inquiry with regard to
greenhouse heating. Give all the details
pf your problem, not only as a guide to
an intelligent answer, but so that others
similarly situated may derive a benefit.

SMALL PROPAGATING HOUSE.

What, in your opinion, is the cheap-
est way to heat a small greenhouse,
about 15x20, which I am putting up be-
side my dwelling house? It is intended
principally for geranium cuttings. I
have no other greenhouses near it. 1
have a small potting shed, 9x12, at-
tached to one end, and, though I never
heard of its being done, I thought of
trying to heat it with a stove in the
shed, or in the dwelling house itself.
Would this work? What wpQild you sug-
gest? I am located in southern Canada.

A. K. B.

I doubt if you will be able to main-
tain a satisfactory temperature in your
propagating house by using a stove. A
small hot water heating plant would, it
seems to me, be preferable to anything
else for such a place. If the green-
house is a lean-to attached to the dwell-
ing, the heater might be located in the
cellar of the house. It is often a great-
er problem to heat a small plant of this
character than a large one. L. C. C.

AN UNDERGROUND SMOKE FLUE.

I have ^ brick smokestack, eighteen
feet high. The inside opening is 12x12
inches. I should like to change my flue,
because my neighbors complain of too
much smoke. Could I run a 10-inch flue
underground for forty feet and then run
this flue into the chimney of my dwel-
ling house, where the flue is 9x9 inches?
My boiler at present draws so hard that
the flames come out four feet if I have
the dampers open. I intend to have my
underground pipes arranged so that I
can clean them out every month if neces-
sary. H. W.

I have never seen a plan of this sort
in operation, but it appears to me to be
the same in principle as the flue carried
around a greenhouse, and such flues,

Dear Sirs: I wish to write you a few lines concerning your No. 2 boiler which we received last
fall. Tour boiler proved to be excellent in material and workmanghip. It did the work very
nicely last winter with a amall amount of coal. Others used up more than a carload while we
used only 16 tons all winter. incJuding what we used in the dwelling. Every one in our neiehbor-
hood has got a Kroeschell boiler. As soon as the other greenhouse men saw it they took a liking to
it and now they've all got one. We speak well of your boiler to all who see it. Tlie Kroeachell is
our favorite if we ever get another. Tours Respectfully,

greenhouse accidents must be included
the occasional bursting of a rusty or de-
fective pipe. For experienced florists
tl^t statement may contain no informa-
tion, as they already know all about the
peculiarities, the weaknesses and per-
Yersities, of heating pipes.

But, though nearly all florists may
know that such sudden leaks are likely
to occur, and that they are capable of
causing much annoyance and damage,
perhaps many of them do not know how
easily, quickly and effectively the leaks
can be repaired, without aid from
plumber or pipe fitter, if the proper ap-
pliances are at hand. And in the case of
an uncontrollable leak it might be disas-
trous to wait for the arrival of a
plumber or pipe fitter; such delay might
be the most expensive phase of the whole
operation.

For use in such emergencies there is
no better device than the Emergency
Pipe Clamp, and every greenhouse owner
should have it on hand in sizes to fit every
pipe on the place. The clamp is as sim-
ple as it is effective, consisting of two
malleable halves, hinged on one side and
fastened with two bolts on the other side,
and so constructed that a leak can hardly
occur where it is not applicable. Each
damp is fitted with a suitable piece of
packing. If the spUt to be mended is a
long , one, two or more clamps can be
used with one piece of packing.

This device is among the steam spe-
cialties manufactured by James McCrea
& Co., Chicago.

ONCINNATL

The Market

Business continues good, though it is
showing weakness in spots. Mums are
coming in heavily. The demand is
good, but the price took a drop last week
and mums wMch were selling for $2.50
and $3 per dozen were cut to $1.25 and
$1.50. A few of the midseason varieties
bring $2 to $3 right readily. Roses show
symptoms of being a glut. Carnations
alone continue scarce, and more of the
better qualities could be used to ad-
ntage. Lilies have been good prop-
ty. Valley has been doing well also.

The Standard
Steam Trap

Is acknowledgred 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.

With midsummer weather and plenty
of all kinds of stock, chrysanthemums
have been selling at almost any price;
yet all the store men report the last
week a good one. There is a heavy run
of funeral work at present, and, with the
weddings, everybody seems to be get-
ting his share.

A strange coincidence was three funer-
iia, all calling for quite a number of
Sesigns and clusters, and all of women
buried Monday morning and named, re-
spectively, Mrs. Heaney, Mrs. Hannay,
and Mrs. Heney — a splendid chance for
trouble if the clerks were not careful.

two new houses, each 21^,^x200, on a
piece of land nicely situated and with-
in sight of the station where all trains
arrive and depart. The office and store
is built on the corner and connected with
the greenhouses. All travel to and from
trains is past this corner and it is easily
seen what an advantage this is from a
business standpoint. This firm -began
business something over a year ago, leas-
ing an old greenhouse plant, located on
Water street. The new firm was handi-
capped at the start, but, under the su-
pervision of C. A. Morgan, the business
began to pick up right away and the out-
come is the two modern houses which
were built this summer. This firm will
make a specialty of carnations, and a
house and a half is devoted to this
flower. A half house is planted to roses.
A small house has been built adjoining
these to grow the plants needed in the
retail business. The firm does a con-

siderable shipping trade and the pros-
pects are bright for a large increase in
both the local and shipping. The houses
are equipped with the Advance ventilat-
ing machine, with ventilators on both
sides of the ridge. An eighty horse-
power boiler has been installed and will
be large enough for several more houses.
Associated with Mr. Morgan in the busi-
ness is Wm. Lambert, a young business
man of Henderson. Mr. Morgan's liv-
ing rooms are connected with the store
room, so he is always on the job.

* The Mum Crop.

From the reports about the chrysan-
themum crop in this vicinity, it seems
that there will be a scarcity of good
flowers. When groVn under glass they
are good, with many florists, but outdoor
stock has been badly treated, flrst by
too much rain and lately by a very dry
spell.

H. Papworth, J. Newsham, M. Cook's
Sons, Abele Bros, and A. Alost, all
growers under glass, Report a good pros-
pect, but most outside patches look poor
and backward.

Qub Meeting.

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety met Thursday, October 15.

Final arrangements were made for the
next flower show, in November.

The committee of the Southern Flo-
rists' Society will meet next week to ar-
range for the next annual meeting, Avhich
will take place about the same time as
the show of the local society.

B. Eble sent his application to become
a member of the club.

H. Papworth invited the florists to
come to his place on Sunday, October 25.

STORM-TIGHT and

RAIN-PROOF li 30 secoals!

This is the famous "Blizzard" Front in
actual use, while a furious storm is raging.

With the handy "Blizzard" in place, you
can drive in comfort, regardless of snow, rain,
wind or cold.

It will keep out every drop of rain and no
matter if it is zero weather, the heat of your body
will keep the inside of the buggy as comfortable
as your "den" at home. No foo^warmer8 or
extra robes necessary. Notice the large window.
It is 12x20 inches and made of tough, transparent
celluloid, and a side light on each side.

The line pocket is 14 inches wide, and so
strongly reinforced with metal that it cannot tear
out or sag. Allows you perfect control of the
horse.

You can quickly open the "Blizzard" at
either side and get in or out with ease.

THE **BLIZZARD" FRONT
equalizes the strain on the buggy top and pre-
vents it from rattlinif. It is made of Blizzard
Cloth and will last as long as the top.

Why risk the dangers of exposure— Rheuma-
tism, OoldB, Pneumonia? Why not drive in
comfort?

. The "Blizzard" Front sells for C3.50. If
your dealer cannot supply you, we will ship you
one on receipt of price. Your money refunded if
not exactly as represented. Write for attractive
"Blizzard" booklet today. We send it free.

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry of how we liked your Shredded Cattle Manure, would
say that we took one car as a trial, then we Rave you an order for two cars more and now we have
just bought of you three hundred tons. We Kave your manure a grood trial test as follows:

We put nine hundred pounds on a bench three hundred feet long by five and one-half feet wide,
as a mulch on Beauties, and on the next bench, of exactly the same size, planted also with Beauties,
we put two thousand pounds of rough cattle Manure. After three days the rough Manure had
become all washed out, nothing being left but straw and dirt, while your Shredded Manure lasted
ten to twelve days and is still doing work.

In making manure water it is fully three or four times as strong as the rough Manure. The
advantages of its even quality and the easy and unobjectionable way of handling the Manure, not a
pound being wasted, make it cheaper in our opinion than the rough Manure which we can get for
simply the cost of freight and loading. Respectfully, BASSETT & WASHBURN.

Girvin's Handy Cutter

Mr. Florist. If you once get one of these cutters on your finger you will never
be without it for many times the price. Just the thing for cutting your carnations,
sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be bothered with a knife or follow
the old way of breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better

and save you money and time ? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus ruin hundreds
of young shoots daily, simply becauxe a knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If
you are not entirely satisfied with it you can return
It and h8"e your money refunded. These Gutters
are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and

The Weekly Florists' Review.

OCTOBBB 22, 1908.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

The unusually warm weather all of last
week — for the temperature ran up to
70 or 80 degrees nearly every noon — had
a tendency to hasten mums and roses,
of which there were more than plenty on
Friday and Saturday. But, though white
mums are plentiful, other colors are
scarce. Carnations were equal to de-
mand for the first time in many a day.
On the whole, business was fine, with
plenty of stock to fill all orders. What
we really need is, first, rain, and, sec-
ond, cooler weather, which will put busi-
ness on a more sound basis.

Varioui Notes.

Adam Zender, of Park Ridge, 111., is
sending the Holton & Hunkel Co. some
American Beauties of fine quality. Their
own stock in that line is also of a good
quality.

Miss Zimmerman, lister and able
assistant of Will Zimmerman, is back at
work again, having been on the sick
list for two weeks.

The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. reports a
lot of work for the last two weeks, in-
cluding quite a bit of out-of-town work.
October 11 this firm announced the open-
ing of its branch store on Third street
by advertising a sale on small sword
ferns. The good results were beyond all
expectations.

The C. C. PoUworth Co. reports having
shipped out a carload of azaleas last
week. A visit to this firm's greenhouses
found the roses about the same as in
former seasons, while the carnations,
especially those grown under glass all
summer, were fine — better than they
ever had them. Enchantress and White
Perfection showed up best. The new
palm and fern houses here, with their
concrete benches, present a neat appear-
ance.

James Chacona is having a new front
put into his store on Wisconsin street.

The park board has again granted
school children the privilege of calling
for a limited quantity of bedding stock
cuttings at the public parks. In grow-
ing them on, they decorate the school-
rooms during the winter and then donate
the plants to decorate the soldiers'
graves on Memorial day. E. O.

Painesville, O. — C. J. Werner has
been appointed deputy grand chancellor
of the Knights of Pythias for Lake
county.

Salt Lake Citt, Utah. — C. S. Martin,
The Superb Florist, has removed to 55
Main street, across the street from his
former location.

Making
Repairs?

To Bay the least it is a hard job
to repair greenhouses. At the
same time it costs money and cuts
down the profits.

If you are ' * fixing up ' ' the
houses for winter you will want a
few bars, some putty or fittings,
and you will want these things in a
hurry. Send us your order and
we'll get it out without any delay.

We have in s^ock various lengths
of sash bars and can ship small
repair orders in a day or two.
Such things as pipe carriers, pur-
lin fittings, gutter hubs, putty
bulbs, putty, glazing points, gal-
vanized nails, etc., we have on
hand at all times and can ship
same day order reaches us, in
nearly every case.

To cut down the repair bills,
get the next greenhouse from us
and put the cost of repairs in the
bank.

The Review is the best ever. — Wm.
Murdoch, Port Huron, Mich.

It's
More
Than a
Gutter

It is a support and brace;
it stiffens and strengthens
your entire house. The
roof bars are gripped fast
to the cast iron gutter by
the roof bar clasps, making
impossible any twisting or
crowding out of line. The
clasps lead the condensation
into the drip gutter, pre-
serving a dry joint — a joint
with an endurance and
security entirely out of the
question with the wooden
gutter and toe nailed bars.
Casts 50 per cent less shade
than any wooden gutter and
costs no more in the end.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

BEDDING TULIPS.

Best Varieties and Their Culture.

Tulips can be bedded out from the
beginning of October until Christmas.
Of course, the latest planted bulbs can-
not be expected to give as good results
as the earlier ones, much of their
strength being frittered away in paper
bags or boxes. As a general rule, from
the middle of October until the middle of
November is the favorite planting time
in the northern states.

Although there is no apparent increase
in the trade in forced Dutch bulbous
stock, there has been an immense im-
petus given to the outdoor culture of
this class of plants. This is not sur-
prising, for no flowers are so universally
popular as these harbingers of spring,
and I expect to see an enormous in-
crease in their culture in the next decade.

About every retail florist has the filling
of a number of beds with bulbs, and
of these tulips occupy first place in pub-
lic esteem. In many cases rainbow or
other mixtures are used with good re-
sults. Mixed beds are in good taste,
much more so than the fantastic color
combinations sometimes attempted in
some of the public parks and gardens.
Personally, I prefer beds of separate
colors to those halved, quartered or other-
wise divided in ribbon attire, but the
latter present a gay appearance and
seem to take the eyes of the multitude.

Solid Beds.

Solid beds of any reliable bedding
tulips are effective, the following being
specially fine: Joost van Vondel, the
fiiiest white bedding tulip: White Pot-
tebakker, "White Swan, Keizerskroon,
Chrysolora, Ophir d'Or, Thomas Moore,
Pink Beauty, Proserpine, Sir Thomas
Lipton, Couleur de Cardinal, Dusart and
Boyal Standard. Queen of the Nether-
lands, the most beautiful of all pink
tulips, still remains rather too high
priced to come within the range of many
purses.

I noticed last year a beautiful circular
bed of White Swan with a broad cross
of Couleur de Cardinal, red. Another
circular bed of Chrysolora, with a cross
of Vermilion Brilliant, was striking.
The following combinations are all in
good taste, if bedded together and
flower at the same time: White Potte-
bakker and Chrysolora; Prince of Au-
stria, President Lincoln and Chrysolora;
White Joost van Vondel and Queen of
the Netherlands; Keizerskroon bordered
with La Eeine (Queen Victoria); Chrys-
olora and Dusart; DUchess de Parma and
Fabiola; Ophir d'Or, Wouwerman and
Cottage Maid.

Tulips Mixed ^ith Other Bulbs.

Not infrequently beds are planted with
both hyacinths and tulips, to allow of a
longer season of bloom. As a rule, the
two flowers do not agree well aesthet-

ically, but if the hyacinth spikes are re-
moved before the tulips are open, the
arrangement is all right. Sometimes,
however, the two bloom simultaneously,
with rather distressing results. Narcissi
are also sometimes mixed through tulip
and hyacinth beds. This is not in good
taste. The narcissi should be by them-
selves. For a groundwork among bulbs,
myosotis, daisies and violas are com-
monly used, these being planted, of
course, in the spring and making a nice
show when the bulb season has waned.

How seldom do we see the magnificent
late Darwin and Cottage tulips used in
bedding! These in beauty and grace far
surpass the early flowering bedding sec-
tion already referred to, and it is really
surprising that more of them are not
used in the parks and public gardens, for
the cost of many of the most beautiful
ones is low. The Cottage section has
mostly originated in the cottage gardens
in Great Britain and Ireland during the
last half century. They are splendid for
planting along shrubberies and succeed
well left from year to year. All are tall
growing and carry large flowers. For

pure white; Pride of Haarlem, rose,
shaded scarlet; Gretchen, soft pink;
Flambeau, bright scarlet; King Harold,
red, shaded maroon; Glory, cherry red;
Margaret, soft blush pink; and Dorothy,
heliotrope, shaded white.

The following Cottage and other' spe-
cies of tulips are all late flowering and
comprise some of the most beautiful va-
rieties in commerce: Gesneriana major,
crimson scarlet; Gesneriana lutea, the
finest golden yellow late tulip; Golden
Crown, yellow, edged orange red;
Pico tee, white, margined cerise; Isabella,
syn. Shandon Bells, rose, flaked white;
Bouton d'Or, deep yellow; Didieri,
crimson vermilion; Ingleseombe Scarlet,
bright vermilion; and Vitellina, pale
primrose. All are moderate in price.

Tulips will grow im almost any good
soil to which has been added some well
decomposed barnyard manure. Fresh
manure should never be used. Care
should always be taken to well pulverize
the soil, and an average covering over
the tops of the bulbs, four inches thick,
is about right. Winter protection in the
form of leaves or strawy manure should

cutting they are splendid and in some
seasons make big prices for Memorial
day. Every florist who does any business
at that holiday — and who does not? —
should plant at least a few hundreds of
these late tulips.

Darwin and G>ttas[e Varieties.

Of the Darwins, good mixtures pro-
duce pleasing effects. The following
named sorts can also be strongly recom-
mended: Clara Butt, pale rose-pink;
Farncombe Sanders, cherry red; Lord
Duncan, scarlet; White Queen, nearly

not be given until the ground has become
well frozen. The bulbs are perfectly
hardy, but the mulching prevents the con-
tinual freezing and thawing, which will
heave out many of the bulbs.

NOTES ON NARCISSI.

The Increasing: Variety of Colors.

The two most popular spring flowering
bulbous plants in America are the tulip
and the narcissus. The former is at
present somewhat in the ascendant, and

BEDDING TULIPS.

Best Varieties and Their Culture.

Tulips can be bedded out from the
beginning of October until Christmas.
Of course, the latest planted bulbs can-
not be expected to give as good results
us the earlier ones, much of their
strength being frittered away in paper
bags or boxes. As a general rule, from
the middle of October until the middle of
November is the favorite planting time
in the northern states.

Although there is no apparent increase
in the trade in forced Dutch bulbous
stock, there has been an immense im-
petus given to the outdoor culture of
this class of plants. This is not sur-
prising, for no flowers are so universally
popular as these harbingers of spring,
and I expect to see an enormous in-
crease in their culture in the next decade.

About every retail tlorist has the filling
of a number of beds with bulbs, and
of these tuli])s occupy first place in pub-
lic esiGoni. In many cases rainbow or
other mixtures are used with good re-
sults, ^lixcd beds an> in good taste,
much more so tlian the fantastic color
combinations soinotinies atteini)ted in
some of the put)Iic parks aiul gardens.
Personally, I ])ret'('r l)e(ls of separate
colors to those halved, ((luirterod or otiier-
wise divide<l in ribbon attire, but the
latter present a gay appearance and
seem to take the eyes of the multitude.

Solid Beds.

tulips are etfective, the following being

g0(jd taste, if bedde<l together ami

bakker and Chrysolora; Prince of Au-
stria, President Liiu'oln and Chrysolora;

with La Keine (Queen Victoria); Chrys-
olora and Dusart; Dudu^ss de I'arina and
Fabiola; Ophir d'Or, Wouwerman and
Cottage IMaiil.

Tulips Mixed With Other Bulbs.

Not infrequently lieds are jilanted witii
both hyacinths and tulips, to allow of a
longer season of bloom. As a rule, the
two flowi'rs <lo not agree well a'sthet

ically, but if the hyacinth spikes are re-
moved before the tulips are open, the
arrangement is all right. Sometimes,
however, the two bloom simultaneously,
with rather distressing results. Narcissi
arc also sometimes mixed through tulip
and hyacinth beds. This is not in good
taste. The narcissi should be by them-
selves. For a groundwork among bulbs,
myosotis, daisies and violas are com-
monly used, these being planted, of
course, in the spring and making a nice
show when the bulb season has waned.

How seldom do we see the magnificent
late Darwin and Cottage tulips used in
bedding! These in beauty and grace far
surpass the early flowering bedding sec-
tion already referred to, and it is really
surprising that more of them are not
used in the parks and public gardens, for
the cost of many of the most beautiful
ones Js low. The Cottage section has
mostly originated in the cottage gardens
in Great Britain and Ireland during the
last half century. They are splendid for
planting along shrui)beries and succeed
well left from year to year. All are tall
growing and carry large flowers. For

Tulips will grow in abnost any good
soil to which has been added some well
decomposed barnyard manure. Fresh
manure should never be used. Care
should always be taken to well pulverize
the soil, and an average covering over
the to|)s of the l)ulbs, four indies thick,
is about right. Winter jirotectioii in the

for formal bedding purposes, owing to
its wide range of colors, it is in some
respects superior to the narcissus. We
have not, as ^et, any scarlet, crimson
flaked and bright pink daffodils. As a
general rule the flowers of these are
either white or some shade of yellow,
although some of the newer creations,
still beyond the reach of ordinary mor-
tals in price, have medium trumpets of
bright scarlet, and we will eventually

Imported and Home-grown Narcissi.

At one time Holland was preeminent
in narcissus culture. England has now
wrested that supremacy from her, and
many of the so-called Dutch narcissi re-
ceived here are grown in the fen district
of Lincolnshire, England. The English
bulbs are harder and heavier than the
Dutch ones, and my experience with them
has been that they are superior to the

Narcissus J. B. M. Gtmm.

have narcissi with white or yellow wings
and scarlet trumpets, equal in size to
those of Victoria, Empress or Emperor.
We will also have pure white varieties,
with flowers rivaling those of Sir Wat-
kin or Beauty in size, and pure white
trumpet varieties far surpassing the
beautiful Mme. de Graaff.

The Recent Work of Hybridists.

It will take time to bring about these
improvements, but the wonderful work
of daffodil hybridists in the last two
decades warrants the supposition that
even more striking advances will be seen
in the years to come. New and striking
varieties of tulips are few and far be-
tween. It is otherwise with narcissi,
dozens of novelties being exhibited an-
nually, and while we may not feel like
Eaying $75 to $250 per bulb for these
itest creations, we can rest content that
in a few years they will be within the
reach of. all.

Narcissi have never been use^ in our
public parks, gardens and cemeteries to
any considerable extent, and for bedding
they have been largely ignored. It can-
not be that they are too costly, for the
best bedders are as cheap as such stand-
ard tulips as Keizerskroon, Proserpine,
the Pottebakkers or Chrysolora. It is
not because they are tender or diflBcult
of culture. They are as hardy as any of
the tulips, rarely fall a prey to disease,
as tulips often do, and in nearly every
case are far better the second than the
first year. It can hardly be claimed that
the flowers pass more quickly than those
of the tulips, for they last fully as long,
and certainly they have a grace far sur-
passing that of either tulips or hya-
cinths. We believe, therefore, that once
we get greater color variety in the flow-
1T8, towards which we are drifting, the
) opularity of narcissi for outdoor cul-
ture will receive an enormous impetus.

Holland article. Virginia is now taking
hold of bulbs in earnest, and there is
no reason why as good roots cannot be
grown there as in Europe. Perhaps the
hot weather after lifting will make it
difficult to care for and save such sorts
as Horsfieldii. With a few exceptions,
narcissi increase quite rapidly under cul-
tivation, and will require replanting
every third year to prevent overcrowding.
Even in Massachusetts it is possible to
grow as fine bulbs of Emperor, Empress,
Barri conspicuus, Mrs. Langtry, Stella,
Sir Watkin, poeticus and other popular
sorts as can be imported.

For bedding or massing in shrubberies,
tha finest sorts are: Golden Spur; Henry
Irving, very early; Sir Watkin; Leedsii

Mrs. Langtry; Leedsii Minnie Hume;
N. incomparabilis Beauty; Barri con-
spicuus; Victoria, the best bioolor
trumpet variety; Emperor and Empress.
Glory of Leiden is now quite moderate in
price. It is the largest trumpet nar-
cissus in common cultivation today. The
poeticus section is splendid for massing
in shrubberies, and for naturalizing in
grass land these have no equal. The
commercial florist who wants to make a
little change in his bulb beds should try
one each of such narcissi as Barri con-
spicuus. Emperor, Golden Spur, Victoria
and Mrs. Langtry. He will be surprised
at the beautiful showing they make. His
customers will in many cases want sim-
ilar beds another season. The advertise-
ment will cost really nothing, as the
bulbs are all good for another season.

Field-grown Bulbous Flowers.

There are times of glut in the bulb
markets in the north. Generally these
occur while forced bulbs are in season.
There is, as a rule, a good home trade
for bulbous flowers grown in the open,
the demand being especially heavy for
Narcissus poeticus and the late tulips for
Memorial day. For cutting purposes the
nursery row plan is the best, as it ad-
mits of easy cultivation. It is better to
leave the rows undisturbed for three sea-
sons, then lift and replant them.

Probably the most generally popular
narcissus, the one which increases the
most rapidly and is the most useful to
the florist, is the old poeticus. It does
better on damp ground, being in its ele-
ment on the shores of streams or ponds,
but grows well even on dry ground. The
variety ornatus, flowering two weeks
earlier, is also indispensable. The va-
riety grandiflora carries flowers double
the size of the common type.

For cutting, the following quintette of
trumpets can hardly be beaten: Em-
peror, Empress, Golden Spur, Glory of
Leiden and Victoria. The single Von
Sion, or Trumpet Major, I have not
found reliably hardy, but the double
form will grow almost anywhere. Prin-
ceps has so little substance that it is
not worth growing, unless there be a de-
mand for cheap flowers. Of the medium
Trumpet sorts, the giant Welsh daffodil.
Sir Watkin, towers in size above all
others; N. incomparabilis Gwyther and
Beauty are fine; Barri conspicuus is

splendid and for grace and exquisite form
Leedsii Mrs. Langtry, Minnie Hume and
Duchess. of Westminster have no peers.

The old double white, gardenia-scented
narcissus is not often seen in good con-
dition; usually the flower stems come
blind. This arises from the bulbs being
too crowded and in too dry a location. It
must have a cool, moist soil of good
depth. For Memorial day trade this is
valuable. The Sulphur Phoenix, ox Cod-
lins and Cream, is another desirable
double variety.

Narcissi in Grass Land.

Each year more and more narcissi are
being used for naturalizing in grass land.
When planted in this way, the grass
should not be cut until the foliage on the
bulbs has ripened. Used thus, the beau-
ties of the daffodils appeal to everyone.
There should be no formality in this style
of planting. The bulbs, if scattered over
the grass by hand and planted just where
they fall, will look perfectly natural.

In addition to N. poeticus, the follow-
ing varieties lend themselves specially
well for use in grass land: ^. Burbid-
gei, N. Burbidgei Vanessa, N. William
Goldring, N. Leedsii Duchess of Brabant
and Mrs. Langtry, N. Johnstoni, Queen of
Spain, N. incomparabilis, N. Barri con-
spicuus and Flora Wilson. N. Emperor,
Sir Watkin, Empress and other robust
sorts, if used, should be in coarser grass
land than the other sorts named.

With the possible exceptions of the
common Lent lily, N. Pseudo-Narcissus,
and varieties of N. Spurius, each of
which are injured by manure, the gen-
eral run of narcissi like a loose soil
which has a good application of well de-
cayed barnyard manure incorporated
with it.

Bulbs vary so much in size that there
can be no exact depth given for planting.
N. minimus has bulbs no larger than a
snowdrop, while those of Sir Watkin are

as big as one's fist. From two and one-
half to five inches are correct depths, the
latter for the largest bulbed varieties.
The soil must be thoroughly firmed after
the bulbs are planted and a light winter
mulch need not be given until the ground
freezes. From October 15 to November
15 I have found a good time to plant
narcissi. W. N. Cbaiq.

BULB GROVING.

How to Make It Profitable.

The subject is an old one and has
been written on the world over. It
would be superfluous to a Hollander,
but as the bulb-growing industry is just
now booming in this country it is worth
every florist's attention and he can then
form his own opinion as to whether or
not it is worth while to grow some. The
writer has had twenty-five years' expe-
rience and is surprised to find some
florists have no bulbs at all — a grave
mistake, as will be shown. There is
no other flower that can be grown so
cheaply or so easily.

When, a few years ago, the industry
was in the experimental stage, the
growers, finding they had certain va-
rieties unsuited to this country, sold
them — the worst thing they could have
done, as the country was on the tiptoe
of expectation as to results.

Troubles With Von Sion.

One man in the iouth informed me
that Narcissus Telamonius plenus (Von
^ Sion), the old double daffodil, grew re-
markably well, but as the flowers were
green, he closed out his bulbs to a green-
house firm in the north for forcing!
Moral: Do not buy American grown
Von Sion until a section is found where
they grow yellow. We grew several
thousands this year and got about fifty

per cent of yellow, so we are giving them
one more trial.

Great trouble was experienced in Lin-
colnshire, England, ten or twelve years
ago with this variety, on account of bad
colored blooms and basal disease. Both
troubles are now completely overcome
and the best in the world are grown
there now, tons being "Sent to Holland
annually and sent here as Dutch bulbs.
This applies also to Ornatus, which is
shipped from England to Holland in
enormous quantities, probably 100 tons
a year. The price this year for both
sorts is $100 to $150 a ton, f. o. b., as
lifted, free from soil and disease. The
latter variety is the more profitable bulb
to grow and many acres are grown, most
of all in Lincolnshire. Labor is cheap
and if the blooms realize anything over
50 cents a thousand, it is a paying crop.

A Practical Question.

The question arises: Why is it that
all Europeans love this flower and
Americans do not! We would like to
see this question answered. If it is be-
cause they do not make bunch enough,
neither do violets nor valley, but we
really think this is the reason. They
force exceedingly well and, being small,
the bulbs take up little room in the
boxes and are light freight. They are
prolific and first size bulbs average two
blooms. They pay to force at $1 per
gross.

Do not put in the greenhouse until
December. A good freeze is considered
beneficial by some, but not by me, and
these opinions hold good with all bulbs.
I am not alone in my opinion, and pre-
fer to protect them. It is not customary
in Europe to put the boxes under the
benches, but to carry them in frozen
solid and drench with water. Each va-
riety is put into the house according to
its period of flowering; i. e.. Golden

Spur and Henry Irving, then Von Sion,
Princeps, Sir Watkin, Ornatus, Emperor,
Empress, in the order named. Others
are forced, but not in quantity.

Emperor makes top prices if not
crowded in the boxes, but probably,
everything considered. Sir Watkin beats
them all and is an ideal forcer. It sel-
dom goes down in the boxes like Em-
peror and Ornatus, a most disastrous
occurrence, and, second sized bulbs be-
ing certain to bloom, a good number
may be put in a box.

Temperature in the House*

Start them and all others cool, not
over 50 degrees, until the bud shows,
when the limit is 60 degrees by day and
55 degrees at night. Mind, I say the
limit; 5 degrees less is better, but do
not let your house run up above the
limit at any time or failure will result,
if it is fire heat or even partly so. I
know that in some southern sections it
is often this temjferature in January,
and with hot water there is trouble. I
can only say, open every sash and door;
shade the glass temporarily, that is, with

leaving down two years. The second
cause is the greatest source of trouble,
but can be overcome by only growing
long-stemmed sorts, or, if the section
is a very sunny one, by using lattice
overhead.

Keeping the soil loose and planting in
beds four feet wide will generally give
satisfactory results, if lifted early. Dar-
wins may stay down two or three years
if given ample room to start with, but
it must be ample — nine inches each way.

Tulips do not like rich land. They do
exceedingly well after potatoes, if the
land was manured in the spring.

Harvesting tulips is almost a profes-
sion. The Dutch have it down to a
science. Eoughly speaking, lift early
and lift dry. Store in a dark, cool room.
Lay thinly until well dried and pack in
boxes six inches deep. Keep the sun
and wind oS, or they will crack, but
early lifting is the great thing. You
can clean at leisure any wet day. As
you must not plant until November and
lift in early June, it will be seen that
another crop can easily be obtained.

Keizerskroon, Prince of Austria,

and makes a bunch. It is, both inside
and out, a grand doer' and sells well.
I strongly urge every florist in the coun-
try to buy some, being assured that in
any soil, section or climate it will in-
crease and it never deteriorates any-
where. The next best is Sir Watkin.
Why the next best! Well, it seems to
have got second place to Emperor, but
it often pays fifty per cent better than
the latter, as it is quite the ladies'
flower — a lovely chalice-cupped flower,
without a blemish, given to mankind by
the Almighty to denote the arrival of
spring. It must not be omitted from
the bulb order, being one of the money-
makers.

I recommend also Barri conspicuus.
This is a cup variety, tinged with scar-
let, but will not force. In fact, it
glories in cold and dull weather. It
should always be gathered in bud and
kept dark, or the scarlet will disappear
and the beauty be gone. It is the fast-
est in propagation and may remain three
or four years undisturbed.

clay and water; use a lot of water and,
if you fail to get down to 60 degrees,
the last remedy is to empty your pipes.
We have a hose on the boiler for this,
and a high tank to refill the pipes as
soon as they are emptied.

Use boxes 12x18x41^ or 5 and do not
have two sizes. Plant as soon as your
bulbs arrive. Keep some out if a suc-
cession is desired. Drainage is almost
immaterial. As to soil, be sure it is not
rich; you will not get it too poor.

In sending the blooms away, tie in
either twelves or twenty-fives and be sure
to paper the boxes heavily. Cut the fo-
liage with the flowers and dump the
bulbs, as they do not pay to fool with,
and by dumping you can save your
boxes. The information given here is
enough to enable the veriest tyro to suc-
ceed.

Outdoor Culture of Tulips.

I have not touched on tulips, as I am
writing on growing for profit and con-
sider that it pays best to grow these
outdoors. I admit that they have a
nasty way of deteriorating outdoors, but
this comes from want of practical knowl-
edge in cultivation and is due to these
four causes: Treading on the beds after
planting, cutting the stems too long,
breaking the foliage in cleaning, and

Prince de Ligny, Vermilion Brilliant and
White Hawk are among the best earlies
and include white, red, yellow, orange
and yellow and red. Good late tulips
are Bouton d'Or, Golden Crown, Picotee
and Gesneriana. These are all good sell-
ers and profitable, but be sure to get G.
spathulata major superba. Excepting
Darwins, there are more dollars in this
article than in any other bulb I know
of. One object of this article is to ad-
vise florists to grow this tulip. It is a
perfect gold mine and the price is bound
to advance as its merits become known.
Get a dozen each of fifty sorts of
Darwin of a reliable man and choose the
best for yourself. Without a doubt, one
cannot go wrong if he buys Glow, Farn-
combe Sanders, Bartigon, Gustave Dore,
Margaret, Clara Butt, Isis, Mattia, Ant.
Eoozen, Zulu, C. Becker and Virginia.

Dafiodils and Narcissi.

I will revert to daffodils and narcissi
for outdoor culture. You may say.
Where do you draw the line between the
two? I have often been asked the ques-
tion and say that narcissi are white
without yellow — that is all — of course
barring the Polyanthus section, which
are all narcissi, independently of color.

For daffodils I must start with Em-
peror, rightly named so, for it is large

white perianth. It does well in any soil
or situation and forces well indeed.

Lastly comes Grandee, the last to
flower, similar to Empress, but not suit-
able for forcing.

You may venture to buy dwarf gla-
dioli, Spanish and Japanese iris and
Lilium candidum, all being good growers
and good sellers, but somewhat tricky to
force. These last three will give you
a succession of flowers from November
(Paper White) until June, after which
you do not need much, but could grow
peonies, Shasta daisies, asters and mums,
so as to have flowers every day in the
year.

Usefulness of N. Poeticus.

I find I omitted Narcissus poeticus,
or Pheasant's Eye, too well known to
need description and too cheap to leave
out. Moreover, in some sections it comes
for Memorial day and is then especially
valuable. I have known the flowers to
make $20 a thousand, several times the
cost of the bulbs. It will not force and
must not be planted thickly, or it will
not flower. In shipping use ice and
pack lightly, or the blooms will melt.

I am not touching on the cultivation,
as it is so simple one can hardly go
wrong. Any depth over three inches
deep to six inches will do, in good soil,

and if it is not goo*fl put the manure on
when frosty and let it wash in.

I may say I have had good reports
from California and Kentucky, Indiana
to Illinois and Canada. New England,
I am told, should suit admirably, but do
not know the soil or climate. Where
rhubarb and Brussels sprouts will grow
properly, so will bulbs, but this is not
necessarily a test because we can grow
neither here in Virginia.

Kemember it is not the first year that
you make your dollars, but the second
and following years. In fact, the third
and fourth year you find yourself short

DEMAND IN BELGIUM.

Prices in Belgium for palms still re-
main firm, but for most other lines the
supply is in excess of the demand.
Ghent azalea growers are not receiving
much encouragement to extend the cul-
ture of trained azaleas, fan-shaped, etc.,
on account of the difficulty in obtaining
sufficient to remunerate them for the ex-
tra labor involved. A little sacrificing of
prices now on their part should help to
create a demand and later on they may
pocket the dollars. Some are inclined to
throw up the game too soon, forgetful of
the fact that the public is really not ac-
quainted with the trained forms yet.
Their superiority over the old shape for

decorative purposes is bound to tell in
the long run. Go ahead, ye Ghent and
Loochristy growers; the world is wide
and you have no competitors in the same
line; the field is your own, a few gratis
trained plants in each consignment would
prove a splendid advertisement.

STORING LONGIFLORUM BULBS.

Please state the best temperature for
storing bulbs of longiflorum giganteum.
Also please state how long they can be
kept. M. L. H.

Bulbs of Lilium longiflorum giganteum
should be kept in a temperature of 34
degrees. "With regard to the length of
time bulbs can be. kept we would say
that if they are placed in the refrig-
erator as soon as they arrive and the
bulbs are in sound condition, they remain
dormant and will be in condition to force
up to twelve months. This applies to the
larger size bulbs, but we do not recom-
mend 6/8 or 7/9 for this long period,
as smaller size bulbs kept in this man-
ner are apt to come blind when forced.

The facilities in small towns for stor-
ing bulbs are not usually of the best,
and there is occasionally some loss of
bulbs from various causes. We think
that the correspondent, rather than at-
tempting it, would do better if he placed
his order with some reliable firm handling

cold storage lilies. These can be sent
by express any distance, as they remain
perfectly dormant for nearly a week after
being taken out of the refrigerator, pro-
vided they are kept in a dark, cool place.
Arthur T. Boddington.

STORING WILD SMILAX.

At what temperature should wild smi-
lax be kept in cold storage, and how long
will it keep? M. L. H.

The firms that store wild smilax in
commercial cold storage warehouses put
it in at from 35 to 40 degrees, most of
them preferring a room with apples,
which is kept at 36 degrees to anything
above that. The length of time it can
be kept is largely governed by its condi-
tion when it goes in, and the most expert
handlers can not tell what success they
will have; the smilax may look all right
when it comes out, but quickly drops its
leaves. Possibly a month would be an
average period for successful storage.
The charges are usually 25 cents per case
for each month or fraction of a month.

Those who do not have access to a
public cold storage warehouse can keep
wild smilax for two or three weeks in a

THE RETAIL

FLORIST,

THE EXHIBITION SEASON.

An Opportunity for Retailers.

The season of fall flower shows is
one which affords the retail florist his
best opportunities of the year to get be-
fore the public. It presents an oppor-
tunity for achieving two results. In
the first place, it gives the retail florist
an opportunity to show his skill to those
who are buying flowers, and to win away
the trade of the m^ who does not take
advantage of his opportunities. But
better than all else, it affords an oppor-
tunity to show the people who are not
flower buyers what excellent results can
be achieved by skillful florists. Every
large flower show proves that the retail
exhibits are among the most attractive
features and each such show goes far to-
ward creating new flower buyers. Each
retail florist owes it to the business to
do his part toward the education of the
public and the creation of new buyers.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph made at the Washington
flower show in 1907. It shows a table
and mantel decoration by George Cooke.
The mantel was covered with specimen
plants of Adiantum Farleyense, with
which Bonnaffon chrysanthemums were
used. The large parasol which was so
striking a feature of the decoration, was
made with yellow pompon chrysanthe-
mums, and the same flowers were used
for the low tablg centerpiece, also with
cut fronds of Farleyense.

This corner was one of the most at-
tractive features of the Washington
show and Mr. Ck)oke said that the eftect
was at once apparent in his business,
for new customers came at once to him,
and these, with old ones, spoke of his
show exhibit and even asked for work of
similar character.

TO INCREASE CASH SALES.

We have a local retail business and
find our cash receipts to be much less
than we think they should be. We would
like to hear through the columns of the
Review suggestions as to how to in-
crease cash sales. We live in an agricul-
tural section, where the credit system is
in full possession, and. the daily sales
light. The heaviest item of our trade is
funeral work, which is generally ordered
over the telephone and therefore charged.
We believe we ought to take in enough
cash throughout the week to pay our
hands on Saturday. We don't come to
this by half.

We do not believe it would be possible
to stimulate the local demand by cash
bargains. We have tried that in a lim-
ited way. People regard flowers as
luxuries and, in most cases, only buy
when occasion demands; hence we do not
believe that price cutting pays in a
small or medium sized place.

We had considered the feasibility of
growing one or two side lines for the

trade. Can you tell us what can be done
in this line on a small place in a mild
climate? Jno. L. Sahel.

f\Ve have no doubt that replies to the
above questions will be read with interest
by many in the trade. — Ed.]

THE STAR.

The illustration herewith is a good
example of one of the ways C. H. Fox
treats this form of design at his store,
The Sign of the Eose, Philadel-
phia. The groundwork is of Bride roses,
the points of lily of the valley. While
grace is desired, the first object is to
clearly bring out the lines of the star.
To further this end the base is just suffi-
ciently decorated with roses to relieve
the green, but not enough to detract

from the star above. Mr. Fox always
makes up designs of this nature prone on
the counter, attaching them to the base
when completed. Phil.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WINDOWS.

A Pond With Live Ducklings.

Here is an early spring or Easter
window: Collect a number of water
plants, ilike cyperus, calla, water hya-
cinth, etc. Set these on and between a
number of rocks and construct an island
in a prominent part of the window.
Cover the pots over the top with sand
and gravel high enough to be out of
the water and yet have a slope down to
it. Build a mainland with a good, long
stretch of beach. Back in the rear, with
free access from the beach, place what
appears to be the front end of a tiny
rustic cottage, but which is really a
brooder for our ducklings, for this is
to be a live duckling window. Half
smother the brooder with flowering
plants, such as spiraeas, hydrangeas,
lilacs, etc. Screen in the window se-
curely from the back. Arrange the hose
and its water supply as in the fish pond,
already described. Give the ducklings
full possession and they, as well as the
spectators, will enjoy it to the full.

An Exhibition Table and Mantel Decoration That Made Business for the Florist.

A Rustic Bridge.

Another: Make a broad bed for a
creek, over which a rustic bridge passes.
Let the road leading to the bridge be
graveled and planted along each side
with low growing plants, according to
fancy. At the other end of the bridge,
where the road is supposed to lead away,
let it disappear as if turning. Bank up
with tall palms or blooming plants and
ferns. Under the bridge float water
lilies. If you wish to display them for
sale, make the bridge of new pots. For
a wild scene use a single log, supposed
to have fallen, for a bridge. Coreopsis,
gaillardias and autumn leaves would
finish the scene appropriately.

A Canoe With a Cargo of Flowers.

Still another: Have at the end of the
window a group or sort of thicket, if
you please, of overhanging foliage,
among which are hidden hanging vases
having the appearance of growing up
among the branches. On the opposite
bank lay out a beach and on it set a
canoo loaded with flowers, as though
just pulled out of the water to discharge
its cargo.

A Lighthouse.

A lighthouse: Build a tower, the size
of which is to be determined by the size
of the window, of birch, other bark, or
shingles. Have a series of windows
around the top and place an electric
light within. Set on a beach with no
obstruction in front, but with a mass
of foliage, blooming plants or cut
flowers behind it. Keep the beach clear
all around the water line, which might

be shaped like a harbor, with the light-
house on a point. Moor a tiny sailboat
out from the shore, with a cargo of
flowers. Display stock all around from
the rear of the window.

A fountain is a more common form
of water window. This is usually banked
around with ferns and flowers, and
planted in the water will be found water
plants and water lilies. Fish, frogs and
turtles make it their home. Such win-
dows are common enough to need no
detailed description. Gertrude Blair.

BERRY GLOBES.

For the retail florist, the partridge
berry globe is one of the best selling
novelties for Christmas that has been
introduced in years. The idea originat-
ed in the New England states, where the
berries appear to be most plentiful, and
where it has met with an increasing de-
mand each season, until last year, when
about twice as many wore sold as pre-
viously. The market widened until or-
ders came from cities in the west and
south for more than could be filled.
Several firms made a business of supply-
ing these globes to the trade, and made
them by the thousand.

Ordinary fish globes, in sizes from
four to eight inches in diameter, were
used, covered with a piece of glass cut
to fit the top of the globe. This was
afterward improved upon by having a
lid or cover of pressed glass made for
the Purpose. A red cord with tassels
tied in a bow around the neck of the
globe gives a finish and makes it a most
complete and acceptable Christmas gift.

These globes retail at a good profit, the
selling price ranging from $1.50 to $3.50
each, or as high as $5, according to size
and the trade of the stores handling
them.

The partridge berry, as it is generally
called, although it is also known locally
in different places as squaw berry, two-
eyed berry, rabbit berry, turkey berry,
etc., is botanically named Mitchella
repens. It grows all over the United
States east of the Mississippi, particular-
ly in the pine woods, from Canada to
Mexico, being most plentiful in the New
England states. It is a low-growing
vine, with glossy green leaves, Ijearing
berries about the size of peas, of a
bright holly red color. These can be
gathered from October 1 on, packed in
damp moss, and stored in cool cellars or
in storage, where they will keep per-
fectly until wanted. The vines are
picked with stems about four to six
inches long, each with a berry, and tied
in bunches of fifty sprays.

The trade price for these is from $2.50
to $3 per thousand sprays. In filling the
globes a ball of sphagnum, covered with
green sheet moss, is bound together with
thread (silkalene or other green thread
is best), then moistened well and filled
with the berry sprays. Three of these
about two to three inches long are
stemmed together with hair-wire, and
made as pointed at the stem end as pos-
sible. Some workers place the sprays
separately in the moss, using a pair
of tweezers to handle them. Care should
be taken not to make the ball of moss
too large, as it cannot be placed readily
in the globe when finished, and also

presents a too crowded appearance should
the berries press against the glass. When
covered from the air so as to retain the
moisture and stood in a light place, but
not in the sun, these globes will retain
their beauty in the house for several
months and have given the greatest sat-
isfaction.

At the S. A. F. convention at Niagara
Falls I had the pleasure of showing a
new globe, made especially for the pur-
pose, that received honorable mention be-
cause it has several points of merit over
the old style fish globe, which has been
used only because it seemed to be the
only thing available. The new design
presents a perfect globe, which is of
much more elegant appearance. It consists
of two parts, the globe or cover, and the
stand or base in which it rests, both of
which parts are of the clearest crystal.
The stand is so constructed that there is
room for the roots of a fern and in the
larger size for a small earthen pan,
which will hold several ferns, so that in
its dual capacity as a miniature fernery
and berry globe it can be used at all
seasons. When filled with ferns and

berry vines combined it is also very
pretty.

Ventilation is arranged for in the
base, which is perforated with holes so
as to admit the amount of air required.
The accompanying illustrations give a
good idea of the construction of ' the
globe and its appearance when filled.

FLORISTS' DELIVERY.

Not the least important feature of a
high class flower business is the deliv-
ery. The flower business is one which
demands large delivery facilities. Flow-
ers seldom are of any value if delivery
is late, and the class of people who buy
flowers appreciate their coming to them
in a first-class turnout. Aside from his
show window, the retail florist has few
such strong advertisements as those daily
on the streets in the form of good wagons
and good teams.

1'he two illustrations on page 11 indi-
cate the delivery facilities maintained
by Pennock Bros., Philadelphia. The
automobile is a recent addition.

REMEDY FOR RUST.

I enclose specimens of carnation plants
which are affected with rust. Can you
tell me how to check it? W. B.

In the Review of October 15 you will
find recommendations for handling car-
nations affected with rust. I can add
little or nothing to what I said then,
unless you want some of the suggestions
more fully explained, which I shall be
pleased to do if you will make your
wants known. A. F. J. B.

LEAF SPOT ON ENCHANTRESS.

Enclosed you will find leaves picked
from my Enchantress carnations. I am
at a loss to know what is the cause of
their condition, and fear that my entire
crop will be ruined. Will you please
state the disease, and the remedy for it,
if there is any? F. N. B.

The specimens forwarded were badly
affected with the common leaf spot, and
you must get to work at once, while the
weather is still in your favor, or it
will do your crop great damage. First
of all, get rid of the conditions which
bring on these spot diseases, and then ap-
ply your remedies, as I will suggest to
you. Too much humidity is primarily the
cause of all these fungous diseases, and
this is frequently aggravated by an ex-
cess of rank, foul-smelling dressing or
mulching material. Whatever may be
the cause in your case, remove it at once
and get the atmosphere into a sweet,
buoyant state.

Go over the plants and remove every
leaf which shows any of these spots, even
though you have to nearly strip some of
the plants. Then dust the soil lightly
with dry-slaked lime and spray overhead
with Bordeaux mixture. Leave these both

on tlie plants for several days. In fact,
they need not be washed off for a week
or more if nothing interferes to necessi-
tate syringing or heavy watering. When
yon water, turn the water on slowly and
water sparingly. The idea is to give the
roots what is needed without wetting the
foliage or stems of the plants. Better
run the soil a little on the dry side, as
that will have a tendency to harden the
growth and make it less susceptible to the
attacks of the disease, but do not let the
plants suffer for water.

Dispense with feeding of all kinds,
as they all soften the growth more or
less. Give all the ventilation possible,

and if the sun comes out bright each day
it will help you a great deal by drying
out the atmosphere. In case of damp,
cloudy weather, take your sulphur blow-
er and fill the air full of grape dust, or
slaked lime and sulphur mixed half and
half. If it is cold enough to run a little
heat, do so, even if you have to open
the ventilators a few inches. Then paint
one of the pipes with sulphur and lime,
mixed with water to make a thick paint.
Do not hesitate to pull off all the dis-
eased leaves as fast as they appear, be-
cause that is the quickest and surest way
to destroy the spores, and besides, every
leaf with a spot on it will die later, even
if you kill the disease, and would have
to be removed then. A. F. J. B.

INSECTICIDES FOR THRIPS.

Results of Experiments at Urbana, 111.

It is conclusive from my experiments
that thrips, especially when feeding ex-
posed on the surface of the leaf, can b(
controlled by spraying with solutions con-
taining nicotine. Twenty cubic centi-
meters, or two-thirds of an ounce, of a
forty per cent nicotine insecticide or
tobacco extract in a gallon of water has
been used to advantage on roses without
any injury to the flowers or plants. Seven
and one-half cubic centimeters, or one-
fourth ounce, has proved as great a
strength of the insecticide as can safely
be employed in spraying cucumbers, even
when the spray is washed off shortly
after each application. This strength has
been efficient in killing those thrips hit
by the spray.

The amount of the insecticides usually
advised is one to two teaspoonfuls, one-
eighth to one-fourth ounce, to a gallon of
water. It will be noted that this amount
is much less than that used in our experi-
ments, except in the cucumber experi-
ments, where the maximum quantity ad-
vised by the manufacturers was used.

Considered from the standpoint of pure
nicotine, which of course is the real basis
of comparison, both for the insecticides
themselves and all spray materials made
from them, the quantities were: In the
experiments on roses, using twenty cubic

centimeters of the^ insecticide, there were
eight cubic centimeters of pure nicotine.
This gave one part nicotine to 480 parts
of water. In the latter experiments, out
of the seven and a half centimeters used,
about three were nicotine in each gallon
of spray material, or one part nicotine
to 1,250 parts of water.

From the foregoing it will be seen that
the amount of the insecticides usually ad-
vised is not sufficient to kill thrips ex-
cept under the most favorable conditions.
However, in order to determine accurate-
ly just how much of any of the nicotine
preparations now on the market should
bo used for the extermination of thrips
it is necessary to know the per cent of
nicotine in them.

All the insecticides used in my experi-
ments for the repression of thrips were
analyzed by the Department of Chemistry
of the University of Illinois. Their re-
port may be of interest to florists.

J. K. Haywood, in Bulletin No. 68, U.
S. Division of Chemistry, reported Niko-
teen to coi^tain 26.01 per cent nicotine.
Rose Leaf Extract of tobacco, as an-
alyzed by the chemists of the Kentucky
Experiment Station, contained 2.00, 1.54,
1.91, 2.07, 2.14 per cent nicotine respec-
tively in the different samples. This lat-
ter insecticide cannot be called a high
strength nicotine insecticide in compari-
son with the other compounds named in
the table, except the XL All Liquid.
Even though it is advised to use for
fumigation six times, and for spraying
eight times as much as is advised for the
other insecticides, it is apparent that we
cannot get the same amount of pure
nicotine in the vapor or spray when it
contains less than one-sixth as much nico-
tine. When the nicotine content is
known it is possible to liberate as much
nicotine from a low strength compound
by using proportionately larger quanti-
ties.

In spraying with large amounts of low
strength nicotine preparations there is

danger of discoloring flowers and of
coating the leaves with a gummy res-
inous deposit which some of them con-
tain. Such preparations are valuable for
use outdoors and for evaporation in the
greenhouse, especially from pans on the
steam pipes.

The point to keep in mind is that the
value of these insecticides depends on
the amount of nicotine in them and th«
price should be governed accordingly.
An insecticide containing two per cent
nicotine at $1 a gallon is more expensive
than a forty per cent preparation at $10
a gallon, when we consider it in relation
to the cost of the pure or absolute nico-
tine.

It is essential that the nicotine of an
insecticide be uniform, not only because
the florist is entitled to full value for his
money, but because it is only possible to
secure positive results, without danger,
from the use of insecticides of definite
and uniform strength which the grower
has become accustomed to using. An ex-
ample may be cited in the injury pro-

employees, will doubtless explain the
cases of injury to ordinary greenhouse
plants.

Nicotine is a powerful poison and all
its preparations are poisonous. If not
so designated they should be, as well as
the per cent of nicotine they contain. If
these things were done and the standard
maintained the best nicotine preparations
now on the market for use in greenhouses
against sucking insects, would leave little
to be desired in this line.

wood ashes as a palm and fern fertilizer.
Kindly state how strong and how often
to use it to get results. L. H.

duced by one of the best known insecti-
cides used for spraying carnations in one
of the largest establishments near Chi-
cago. The analysis of this insecticide
material revealed the fact that it con-
tained from eight to nine per cent more
nicotine than any other sample of this
preparation that we have examined. This
fact, taken in connection with that of the
rather inexact measurement of insecti-
cides frequently practiced by greenhouse

this reason wood ashes is less beneficial
to plants of this character than stable
manure, dried blood, soot or bone dust,
though a moderate quantify of the ashes
may be mixed in the potting soil to some
advantage. W. H. T.

EXHIBITION BLOOMS.

Packiog and Shipping.

Packing and shipping exhibition flow-
ers calls for considerable care and pa-
tience if the stock hasj^to travel any dis-
tance.

The first thing is to get boxes of the
right size and shape. My own boxes,
while they may not be the ideal, are sat-
isfactory to me, and are the result of
some years' experimenting and experi-
ence. They are five feet six inches long,
eighteen inches wide and ten inches deep,
inside measure. The lumber used is i^-
inch, braced in the center of the box
with pieces up the sides Ixl-inch and
with 1-inch lumber for the ends. Such
a box, while it is light, gives consider-
able room. It will hold from eighteen
to twenty-fonr flowers of the largest size
on stems three to four feet long, and
smaller stock in proportion.

Flowers, if they are to be shipped any
distance, should stand in water for
twenty-four hours before packing, to gee
the stems full of water. This will offset
the loss of moisture that occurs in a
long shipment, and the flowers will not
be wilted when they are taken out of the
box. If a flower once goes down in
transit it is hard to get it up again.

The head of every flower should be
papered with tissue to prevent the blooms
rubbing against each other. In the case
of Japanese varieties, many of them can,
by lifting the petals, be compressed into
considerably less space and tied on the
top of the flower. With the flowers
that assume the shape of a ball this can-
not be done and it is better to tie the
paper under the flower.

If the stem is at all inclined to be
weak it is better to tie it to a bamboo
stake, so that there is no strain on the
stem, and a stake often prevents the
flower from snapping off.

Having the flowers all ready to put
into the box, one should get some pillows
made large enough to sit under the neck
of the flowers without permitting the
flower to be crushed on the bottom of the
box. Then lay in the flowers on the
pillows, working from each end of the
box to the middle. Some growers use
wood-cleats and tie the flowers to the
cleats. This I do not like, because in
the case of jars and jolts, which the
boxes will most assuredly get when be-
ing moved around by the expressman,
there is no give to the flowers and they
often are broken. Sheets of wet news-
paper laid between the foliage will keep
the leaves much fresher than when this
is not done.

After the box is full, cleats can be
nailed on the stems to keep them from
threshing aTound, and, after that, there is
little that can be done except trust in
Providence.

Details to Be Observed.

The old hand at exhibiting first looks
over the schedule of a show that he
intends to exhibit at, then looks over his
flowers and sees what he can do in good
shape, and makes his entries accord-
ingly-
Then, when packing, he keeps his
classes together in the boxes and marks
on the cover of the box just what each
box contains. Then, in unpacking, each
class is by itself and much confusion is
avoided. Much of the worry and rush
in the exhibition hall could be avoided
by foresight.

Let every variety be labeled with its
name before it is packed and another
cause of worry and hurry is avoided at
the last moment.

Some additional flowers should be
taken along, because some flowers will
be bruised and it is hard in a close com-
petition to lose out because one of the
flowers was poor or damaged.

So many things enter into the calcula-
tions of an exhibition that it is largely
a, gamble. The condition in which
flowers travel, the personal ideas and
opinions of judges, the luck that pur-

sues a man even after he has done his
best, and the way the flowers hold up if
the judging be delayed, all combine to
make the game fascinating, even though
it is a gamble. Charles H. Totty.

FOUR FINE MUMS.

Here are four of the finest things on
the Hill Co. place the jiresent season:

Madagascar (Calvat). — A golden yel-
low which reflexes slightly, three and one-
half feet, big, full and substantial, and
coming into bloom October 12. This is
an ideal commercial variety, with a stiff
stem and beautiful, close-set foliage; the
petals recurve slightly and it can bo
packed easily and safely.

Fee Orientale (Nonin). — An early Guy
Hamilton, similar in form, snow white,
with creamy center; stems like willow
wands; a beautiful flower, ready October
10 to 12.

Virginia Poehlmann (Poehlmann). —
A white sport from Calvat's Mme. Paul
Sahut; a gem of a commercial sort; has
not a defect, though it might have a
longer stem; fully ready October 15.

of all the white commercials; it is purity
itself, with a texture like paper, lasting
in perfect condition the longest of any
mum that we know; it is large and firm,
but not heavy, and all of the most per-
fect finish; stems long and stiff; can be
had from October 1 till late November.

NEW ORLEANS.

At the last meeting of the committee
of arrangement for the flower show it was
announced that Washington Artillery hall
had been secured to hold the exhibii.
E. Baker will act as superintendent. The
judges will be John Eblen, A. E. Weller
and George Thomas. C. R. Panter, H.
Y. Shurman and C. W. Eichling will so-
licit prizes.

The public in general and the florists
personally were invited to visit the Me-

tairie Ridge Nursei^ Co. October 25. H.
Papworth had plenty to do receiving all
his guests and everybody admired his
stock, which is hard to duplicate. His
chrysanthemums are in a prime condition

and his palms, just housed, are perfect.
A few acres of cosmos mingled with
ladies, helping themselves at pleasure
to bunches of flowers, was a sight to be
seen. A special car brought back the
majority of the florists.

Every florist is busy giving the last
touch to his chrysanthemums. The mar-
ket is not going to be overloaded and we
can expect good prices.

J. Shakai, one of the largest growers
of mums, has disposed of all his crop at
wholesale.

B. M. Wichers had his stock of ferns
greatly damaged by the fumes from a
chemical manufactory, situated close to
hi^ place.

C. W. Eichling has been quite busy
filling shipping orders for ferns and
other stock.

M. Cook's Sons will soon have their
new greenhouse complete, ready to house
plants, chiefly palms.

P. M. Koontz, of McGregor Bros. Co.,
Springfield, O., was in town taking orders
for his firm. M. M. L.

mation in regard to forcing giganteum
lilies? Does their treatment differ from

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

S^^. 'fer»)•^»)•fe^»!>^^?»|•^^»>•fer»)•^r»)^fer»|•fef»)•^^^:

Cinerarias.

The first sowing of cinerarias is now
in 6-inch pots, with the flowering stems
a foot in height. These will have some
flowers open by the end of the year and
will be in full bloom in January. Be-
ing gross feeding plants, liquid manure
should be afforded them once in four,
or five days. Spread the plants out to
prevent crowding of the leaves. A cin-
eraria without good foliage down to the
pot is a poor object.

Later sowings are now growing fast
and should be potted oi|t before the roots
become too much matted. A fresh sup-
ply of tobacco stems placed among the
plants once a fortnight will keep aphis
in check, but a fumigation every week to
make doubly sure is advisable.

A temperature of 40 to 45 degrees at
night is high enough for cinerarias in
winter. Coldframes may be utilized for
them until the mums are out of the way.

Palms.

October weather has proved so extreme-
ly hot that a fair coating of shading on
palm houses has been a necessity. Usu-
ally at this season it has been possible
to considerably reduce it, but it is un-
wise to do so under recent climatic con-
ditions, which are more suggestive of
early September than late October. Be-
sides the danger of burning the leaves,
the removal of too much shading will
cause the foliage to turn paler in color.

A thorough hoeing over, once a day at
least, is desirable, using the sprayer in
order to secure a strong pressure. This
will help materially in holding spider,
mealy bug and scale in check.

The present is not a good season for
doing any repotting. It is better to feed
plants which arc somewhat potbound in
order to keep their foliage of a dark
green color. An occasional application
of liquid manure is beneficial to all palms
and, in order to tone up those showing
yellowing foliage, weak nitrate of soda
water or soot water may be applied.

Many growers err in overpotting Cocos
Weddelliana. This graceful palm makes
comparatively few roots and should be
kept in small pots.

A night temperature of 60 to 62 de-
grees is ample for palms such as are used
commercially, and, of course, the atmos-
phere should always be moist.

Nephrolepis.

Sales for nephrolepis have been rather •
slow thus far this fall, but thc.xlemand
should irtiprove froiil this time on.
Plants potted some weeks ago are root-
ing around the sides of the p^ts nicely
and will require more frequent water-
ings. '

Do not grow your nephrojepis in a
heavily shaded house, or the frtonds will
be sort and brittle. Just ei^ugh shading
to break the direct rays of the sun is
required. \ '

Do not crowd ' the plants; elevate a
number of the best to give more room
for the others, and hang some up near

the glass. These will all give you splen-
didly furnished specimens. Be careful
to keep the fronds dry.

If you use the hose over the foliage
of such heavily fronded forms as Whit-
mani, Elegantissima, Amerpohlii and
Todeaoides, many of the pinnaa will rot
in the centers of the plants.

A high temperature for nephrolepis is
neither desirable nor necessary, 55 de-
grees at night being ample.

Rambler Roses.

It is much too early to place pot-grown
ramblers under cover. They should be
left outside until the canes have had
several quite sharp frosts, sufficiently se-
.vere to take oflf the leaves. Moderate
dryness at the root is still desirable to
assist in ripening the wood. Damp con-
ditions keep the plants growing too long
and the soft ends of the shoots are of
no value.

Now is an excellent time to pot up a
batch of field-grown ramblers for forc-
ing the coming season. These will not
give as good results as plants which have
been pot-grown all summer, but are pref-
erable to those dug up and potted just
before being wanted for forcing. Keep
all possible roots intact when potting the
ramblers, tie up the shoots to a stout
stake and stand outside in a sunny spot,
where they should remain until severe
frost threatens to break the pots.

Amaryllis.

The water supply having been gradual-
ly reduced for some weeks back, as pre-
viously advised, the foliage on amaryllis
will now be drying off and the pots can
be laid on their sides under a bench,
where they will not get much drip and
where they will not be in close contact
with heating pipes. A house kept at 45
to 50 degrees at night is sufficiently warm.

NEVYORK.

The Market

There was no improvement in market
conditions last week. The wholesale cen-
ter was overwhelmed with shipments, in
which chrysanthemums predominated, and
there was no standard for prices. De-
mand was light and clearances were
made, if at all, at whatever the stock
would bring. Saturday, October 24, there
was a fair clean-up, but at probably
lower values than ever were seen at this
date. The big buyers in Brooklyn took
their stock away by the wagon-load. The
warm weather has been particularly un-
welcome to the chrysanthemum growers,
for it has brought in stock which would
not ordinarily arrive until November and
prices on all grades have been down.

The present week opened with the ac-
cumulations fairly well cleaned out, and
rain, with the promise of colder weather.
Were it not the week preceding election,
with political excitement centered here,
there would be grounds for anticipating
a better business.

Beauties have advanced a little in
price, but other roses still are going at
exceedingly low rates. Richmond seems
to suffer the worst. Valley is too abun-
dant and cannot all be sold at any price,
but the retailers report a good many wed-
ding orders booked, so that the growers
of valley and lilies anticipate better

prices before long. Violets especially
show the bad effects of the warm
weather. Prices continue at the lowest
level. The crop of cattleyas has been
one of the largest on record, but there is
now some reduction in the supply, al-
though it still is so heavy prices are
away down. Carnations, too, are in large
oversupply and selling at unsatisfactory
figures.

Various Notes.

W. E. Marshall has been appointed
marshal of the horticultural section of
the business men's big Taft parade for
Saturday afternoon, October 31, He
thinks the trade will give a good account
of itself and have several hundred rep-
resentatives in the demonstration.

Ford Bros, point with pride to their
carnations. Will Ford spends his week-
ends at his mountain home in Pennsyl-
vania, where his family resides.

B. Eosens says the wild smilax is
extra fine this year.

John P. Scherer, of Union Hill, is
erecting two new houses on his prop-
erty. He will make 636 Gardner street
his headquarters this season and deliver
his goods daily in the city.

B. S. Slinn, Jr., whose specialty is
violets, says he is receiving over twenty
boxes a day, some fine white ones among
them.

The Geller Florists' Supply Co. has
added a new oflBce to its conveniences.

Samuel A. Woodrow reports his Euro-
pean importations of boxwood as selling
rapidly.

Bussin & Hanfling are putting out some
new styles in baskets for Thanksgiving,

George Saltford looks for a better ap-
preciation of violets here this winter than
last, and predicts a better average price
as soon as the season fairly opens.

0. V. Zangen reports an excellent seed
business this fall.

H. E. Froment says L. B. Codding-
ton's Beauties are coming fast and good.

George Cotsonas says this year's fern
crop is the finest he has ever received
and he is storing large quantities.

Mr. Weigel, of Weigel & Ujfalussy, the
successors of Emil Steffens, says out-
of-town shipments are increasing daily.

The optimistic atmosphere at David
Clarke's Sons' big retail store is always
an inspiration. They say, "Business is
good and we have nothing to complain
of."

Charles A. Bayer, at 52 West Twenty-
ninth street, has a stock of araucarias,
ferns and palms, and makes small ferns
for dishes a specialty.

The auctions still draw good houses.
About everything in the plant and bulb
line can be had at bargain prices.

Lehnig & Winnefeld, of Hackensack,
have been delivering some fine celosias
to retailers, who make attractive windows
of them.

The $1 boxes are made a profitable
Saturday special by many retailers.

Phoenix Roebeleuii is becoming in-
creasingly popular.

John Scott, of Flatbush, and Louis
Dupuy, of Whitestone, are sending fine
gardenias to the market. Mr. Scott suf-
fered a relapse last week because of too
great haste in taking up his work after
an illness with typhoid fever, but at
latest accounts was on the mend again.

The next meeting of the Florists' Club
will be held Monday evening, November
9, when nominations will be in order.
Chairman Will Rickards has announced

George W. Smith.

of its building and is holding a two
weeks' poultry show on the second floor,
commencing October 26. The firm has
one of the most complete stores in the
business. Go to 50 Barclay street this
week and next and see the roosters.

Davy Mellis, of Flatbush, won the
valuable silver cup of the Brooklyn
Bowling Green Club for the third time
this fall, and now is the proud owner
of the trophy. He is the president of the
club. Will Elliott, the auctioneer, is also
an expert bowler on the green.

A. T. Boddington reports George Burk,
superintendent of parks at Pittsburg, a
recent visitor.

The chrysanthemum show at the Amer-
ican Institute promises well and the
week after, November 17 to 19, the great
exhibition of the Horticultural Society of
New York will be held in the Museum
of Natural History. No admission will
be charged. It doubtless will be attend-
ed by many thousands of flower lovers.

Bowling.

The Bowling Club has at last located
at Thumm's alleys, Broadway and Thir-
ty-first street, and Monday evening has
been chosen for practice. Every second
Monday in the month the club will bowl
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon because of
the Florists' Club's meeting. The best
scores October 22 were:

The real estate columns note that Jones
& Seitz leased for a client to Bonnet &
Blake, wholesale florists in Brooklyn, the
store and basement at 130 Livingston
street, between Smith street and Boerum
place, for a term of years.

Blauvelt & Dierkes have dissolved part-
nership, Mr. Blauvelt to continue the
business. Mr. Dierkes is again with
Warendorff.

Henry Gunther has the sympathy of all
in the death of his daughter.

The new firm of Schumacher & Kessler,
113 West Thirtieth street, do a wholesale
business in plants as well as cut flowers.

The market was as low Tuesday,
October 27, as it was at any time the
week before. Chrysanthemums are a
perfect deluge.

GEORGE W. SMITH.

George W. Smith, president-elect of
the Cleveland Florists' Club, is one of the
young men who are making their mark
in the business. Born in Cleveland in
1877, he has been connected with the
trade since childhood and is proprietor
of the Cleveland Florists' Exchange, do-
ing a wholesale business in cut flowers
and supplies. He is energetic in all that
he undertakes and his election will no
doubt stimulate the attendance and mem-
bership of the club, for all are looking
forward to many good times during the
coming year. Mr. Smith is a Mason of
good standing, also a member of the
Cleveland Association of Credit Men.
Since the organization of the Florists'
Club be has held minor offices and, being
a consistent bowler, he is called a good
fellow at all times.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

The National Council of Horticulture
has sent out to the daily and weekly
papers all over the country a set of three
articles on the fall planting of bulbs.

Robert Kift, Philadelphia, says that
the partridge berry globes, even in the
days when nothing but fish globes were
available, made the best selling novelty
he ever handled. In his own store last
Christmas he sold over 300 at prices
ranging from $1 to $3.

Now is as good a time as any to turn
over a new leaf in the matter of business
methods. At least see that every one
who owes you gets a statement Novem-
ber 1, and every thirty days thereafter.
Become a good collector and you soon
will have a reputation as prompt pay.

OBITUARY.

H. F. Port

H. F. Port, of Maywood, 111., died Oc-
tober 25, after a long illness with tuber-
culosis. He was 45 years of age and
had been engaged in the florists' busi-
ness for a number of years, until fail-
ing health required his removal to th*»
less rigorous climate of the southwest.
He was called home by illness in the
family and achieved some celebrity by
securing from the Interstate Commerce
Commission a permit for the railroads
to issue him free transportation back to
New Mexico on the ground of "his in-
ability to return otherwise. But he never
went back. Mrs. Port and a daughter
survive. The funeral was held October
28, in charge of the Modern Woodmen,

Roy E. Gupentec.

Roy E. Carpenter, of Cohoes, N. Y.,
died October 20, of spinal meningitis, at
the age of 32. He had appeared to be
in the best of health until a few days
before his death.

He was born in Cohoes and lived there

all his life. He was educated in the
public schools of that city and then he
studied the florists' business with his
father, Ansel D. Carpenter, and gave his
undivided attention to it. He was a
member of the Cohoes Club and the now
disbanded Wheelmen's Club, and the
members of these took appropriate ac-
tion on his death. He is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ansel D. Car-
penter, and one brother. Dale S. , Car-
penter. The funeral was held on the
afternoon of October 23, at 2:30 o'clock,
from the late residence. Rev. George A.
Armstrong, of the Silliman Memorial
church, officiated, and the interment was
in Oakwood cemetery, Troy.

Gilbert Roger.

Gilbert Roger, head of the firm of
Roger & McKelvy, Meadville, Pa., was
instantly killed on the night of October
19, when he was thrown from his wagon
by a runaway team. The fall broke his
neck.

Mr. Roger Avas 74 years of age and
one of the oldest florists in his section.
He was widely known and the funeral,
held October 22, was largely attended.
He leaves a wife and family.

Frederick Frederickson.

Frederick O. Frederickson died at his
home in Kansas City October 15 at the
age of 48 years. He had been a resident
of Kansas City since 1897. His widow
survives.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

(Continued from page 14.)

The plants can remain here until they are
overhauled for starting. Any which may
push flower spikes can be taken out and,
after the drainage is examined and a lib-
eral top-dressing given, can be placed in
heat. As a rule, there is no special ad-
vantage in starting amaryllis before
January.

Gardenias.

Considerable care is now necessary
with benches of gardenias well set with
buds for winter blooming, or a heavy
loss of buds will result. Too much water
at the root and overhead is usually the
cause of so many buds dropping. It is
unwise to soak gardenias as one would
chrysanthemums. We prefer to keep the
border during the dark months a little
on the dry side. A thorough hosing
twice a week, directing the water through
a spray nozzle, should keep mealy bug
in check. Give a soaking of water when
the surface soil is faijrly well dried out.
Then avoid any dribblings on the surface
until another thorough watering is need-
ed. Keep the night temperature 65 to 68
degrees for winter blooming plants. If
you want them for spring, 5 degrees
lower will answer. There should be no
yellowing of the foliage if your benches
contain rather coarse compost, which
water will pass quickly through. A fine
soil, producing pastiness and consequent
sourness, will quickly give pale foliage.

Mount Pleasant, Mich. — John Zim-
merman, of the Mount Pleasant Green-
houses, has enlarged the capacity of his
place and now has over 5,000 square
feet of glass.

Poughkeepsie, in. Y. — The annual ex-
hibition of the Dutchess County Horticul-
tural Society will be held at the State
Armory October 29 and 30. The indica-
tions are for one of the most successful
shows the society has yet held.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market*

The weather is always a large factor
in the flower business and this month it
seems to be playing an even more prom-
inent part than usual. In the first half
of October, with weather cooler than nor-
mal, business was good. This was fol-
lowed by a period of unusual heat, which
put stock to the bad, reduced the de-
mand, and was the cause of the almost
demoralized condition of the market all
last week. Three days of cold rain, be-
ginning October 25, have now operated
to change the situation. The future of
the market seems to rest largely with the
weather-man. If the storm clears off
cold, both the quality of stock, the quan-
tity, and the demand will show an im-
provement. Warmer weather will have
the opposite effect. Until the change
comes there will be little doing.

It did not take the cold, rainy days to
reduce the supplies of roses and carna-
tions; the heat was already running these
crops off at the close of last week. There

continue to be abundant supplies of
everything but Beauties; these had be-
come short by October 24. Brides and
Maids have deteriorated in quality. The
demand is largely for select stock and
the price of the best grade has stiffened
to some extent. Bichmond continues in
most abundant supply, with prices mod-
erate. Killarney is most sought after
and commands a premium.

There was considerable waste in car-
nations last week, but the supply has
been reduced while at the same time de-
mand is improving, so that better results
are anticipated for this week. In fact,
some of the wholesalers look for a short-
age before the week is out. The quality
is improving in spite of unfavorable
weather conditions.

The greatest glut, and the one which
has influenced the sale and prices of all
other stock, is of chrysanthemums. The
unusual weather conditions have brought
in the later varieties a week or ten days
earlier than usual. The heat has made
the stock soft and the accumulation has
resulted in demoralization of the market.
It is asserted by some of the wholesalers

that chrysanthemums are not returning
the growers much more than half what
they did last year, but others say the re-
duction in prices is not so great as has
been reported. It appears that the best
goods are in demand in limited quanti-
ties, but that the oversupply of medium
and low grade stock is so great that it
is in this department that prices suffer
most. The growers who produce the best
goods are coming out ahead of the ones
who give less care to their mum crops.
There has been a fair sale for yellow,
but white has been difficult to move. It
is anticipated that the condition will be
changed the latter part of the week, for
the All Saints' day orders are largely
for white.

The receipts of violets are about nor-
mal, quality is improving and sales fair.
Valley is abundant and cheap. There
are increased supplies of Easter lilies.
Sweet peas show little increase, but will
soon be plentiful. There is only normal
business in greens.

Business this week is fair with the
houses catering to the shipping demand
and quiet with the ones that depend on

Single / Pompon Mums

White, Pink and Yellow, 50c to 75c per bunch

These are all the rage with the high class flower buyers. Leading retailers use them for table-
centerpieces, baskets, and other fine work. Put up in bunches of 25. Order a few for some good job
and try them. They'll make a hit.

Plenty of fancy Bonnaifon, Appleton, Robinson and other best aorta; also medium and small Mums.

Killarney

stock it ia a pleasure to sell. Let's show you.

local trade, for the rain cut off the tran-
sients. It is the general report that All
Saints' day business will be heavy; the
advance orders for New Orleans are both
numerous and large. There is some ship-
ping booked for October 28 and October
30, but the bulk of the stock goes out
on the afternoon of October 29. No one
can claim that the average quality of
stock is good, for it is soft, and much
sorting is required.

Boxwood and Smilax.

New boxwood has been in some little
time and there still are a few cases of
last year's stock in cold storage. The
wholesalers generally are disgusted with
the boxwood proposition; it was a
glorious good thing until it became so
overdone that loss succeeded profit. Or-
ders have been cut down for this year
and a better result is hoped for.

Wild smilax has not kept as well as
usual in cold storage thus far this season
and the loss has cut into the wholesalers'
profit. Fair demand is reported.

It is said that ferns taken out of
storage are some of them in poor shape.

Various Notes.

It is reported that W. F. Hoerber has
bought thirty acres of land at Des
Plaines, HI., has engaged a grower and
is in the market for material for the
erection of ten greenhouses, each 300 feet
long. It is his plan to proceed at once
with the erection of his range. It is an-
other case of the capitalist going into
the flower business.

Henry Koropp is continuing the busi-
ness at 2045 Clarendon avenue, but has
for nearly a year been engaged in a
legal contest with his landlord, Albert

Fuchs, who removed from the rear of
the property a bam which Mr. Koropp
had been using as a wagon room and
potting shed. Mr. Koropp, accordingly,
began suit last March. The case was
tried in the Municipal court and was de-
cided against Mr. Koropp, the judge af-
firming that wagon rooms and potting
sheds are not necessary adjuncts of the
greenhouse business! Mr. Koropp car-
ried the case to the Appellate court,
where it is now awaiting action.

The Wholesale Florists' Employees'
Club gave its annual dance at Columbia
hall, Wednesday evening, October 28. The
attendance was the largest in the three
years the boys have been giving these
successful events. The decorations were
lavish, the music good and everyone was
pleased with the affair.

The Horticultural Society of Chicago
has issued a pamphlet containing the
constitution and by-laws, lists of officers
since organization and a list of members,
the latter containing 183 names. The
lecture and exhibition schedule for 1908
is included.

Peter Eeinberg is preparing to graft
60,000 of the Mrs. Marshall Field rose
for the trade next spring. This •njU be
in addition to the grafts necessary to
supply his own requirements. This rose
is not grown on its own roots. This year
Mr. Eeinberg has eight houses of Field,

E. C. Amling says that the New Or-
leans business this year will be consid-
erably heavier than usual. He calls at-
tention to the fact that four times as
many white chrysanthemums are called
for as of any other color for this occa-
sion.

Our stock is well known to be the finest that can be produced and our crops are
now just cpming on, so we can take the best of care of all orders. Remember that
while our reputation is made by the special fancy stock we produce in such large
quantity, we have shorter lengths for all who want them. So large a part of our trade
calls for "Fancy," we are able to make attractive prices to buyers of shorter stock,
especially if a quantity is taken.

Our Carnations are now in good crop and we can supply all orders. Fin^ stock
at reasonable prices.

No order too large for us to fill; no order too small to receive our careful attention.
Standing orders solicited.

We are now prepared to supply a fine grade of ORCHIDS.

used in the construction of the green-

and convenient.

Wietor Bros, express themselves as
better pleased every day with the Mrs.
Jardine rose. They have only one house
of it and the cut is so much in demand
that it will not go around among their
regular customers.

John Kruchten & Co. say business was
slow last week, but Saturday they did
one of the best days' trade of the sea-
son. Prices were low, but they cleaned
out thousands of mums.

George Eeinberg and Peter Reinberg
expect to be in their new quarters No-

Reinberg has taken a three years' lease

been occupying.

Leonard Kill had as his guests last
week Henry Duemburg and bride, of
Memphis. The wedding occurred Octo-

spent in Chicago. Mr. Duemburg is
with the Idlewild Greenhouses. He says
business is fair in Memphis and that
some excellent wedding orders are booked
for November.

There will be a flower show rally at
the Union restaurant at 7 p. m. Thurs-

H. F. Halle has a handsome store at

ST. PAUL.

The Market

Trade kept up remarkably well until
October 10 and then experienced a severe
slump. As a consequence the market has
been overstocked on almost everything.
Roses are the biggest glut on the mar-
ket. There is also an abundance of car-
nations. Mums are equal to the demand,
and the few single violets coming in are
sold on sight.

Society seems to be at a standstill and
the demand for funerals is about all that
keeps business moving. We look for an
improvement from now on.

Qub Meeting;.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Minnesota Florists' Association was held

on Tuesday evening, October 20, There
was an increased attendance over the
previous meeting, though the night was
rainy. A. J. Smith, of the Lake-
wood cemetery greenhouses, exhibited
Schroeter's pink carnation, a large bloom,
two shades darker than Enchantress, on
long, stiff stems. It looks like a winner.
He also exhibited White Enchantress. In
mums he showed Touset, Halliday and
Virginia Poehlmann. He had a vase of
Brides and Maids, which were very good,
considering the poor houses in which they
were grown. The committee on exhibits
awarded the exhibit a diploma.

Louis Boeglin, of the Minneapolis park
greenhouses, exhibited saintpaulia and
streptocarpus plants, in bloom, and gave
a short talk on the way he grew them.

A lively interest in the meeting was
manifest throughout, which is encourag-
ing to the oflScers.

Some twelve or fifteen from the Twin
Cities announced their intention of at-
tending the national flower show next
month.

The subject for the next meeting is

chrysanthemums. A. J. Smith will read
a paper on the culture of them and J. P.
Jorgenson will give his impressions of
the Chicago show.

Condition of Business.

Funeral orders last week were, in one
sense of the expression, the only thing
that kept the bottom from dropping out
of business. Stock, as it generally seems
in slack times, was abundant, and the
quality was fine. But in order to keep
it on the move and rob the ash-barrel,
it was necessary to let it ,go at very
moderate prices. Trade still continues
to be quiet, but our florists are antici-
pating a much better business toward the
end of the week, on account of November
1 being All Souls' day.

The weather has been simply ideal;

each day for an indefinite period has
been bright and sunny and quite warm,
but the florists all agree that if it were
a little cooler there would be a marked
improvement in the condition of business.
The prolonged drought, which has affect-
ed this section of the country since Au-
gust, and the early frosts of the season
have caused everything pertaining to out-
door vegetation to simply disappear.
These conditions cause the public to give
more attention to the indoor culture of
flowers, and therefore the florists are
having a liberal share of visitors at their
greenhouses.

Variouf Notes.

The Dayton Florists' Club will hold
its regular monthly meeting at the es-
tablishment of J. F. Young, East Fifth
street, on the evening of November 2.

It looks as if something were doing at
the establishment of the Miami Floral
Co. All hands are busy tearing down a
few old buildings and getting the ground
ready for the construction of a new
office and packing room, with a large
cellar, equipped for cold storage and
with modern conveniences for the pres-
ervation of stock. They are also putting
up a new tank, with a capacity of 5,000
gallons.

Herman H. Bitter is cutting some fine
Brides and Maids, but he reports busi-
ness slow, and not much demand for
them.

Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs had several
large funeral orders last week.

Mrs. Elizabeth Young reports business
quiet, with plenty of room for improve-
ment. J. F. Young, who had an arm
broken about seven weeks ago, is getting

Your customers will be dropping in during the next fortnight
to ask questions about the different varieties of chrysanthe-
mums they have seen at the exhibitions or elsewhere. Would it
not be well to have a few fancy blooms to show them when
they call ? It will give you something to talk about and in-
crease your chances of doing business. Good stock can now
be had at unusually low prices. We oflfer two grades, fancy
and select, in the leading varieties in yellow, white and pink.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Risine Eastern Market.

The unhappy weather conditions which
we so fondly hoped would have disap-
peared long ago have completely demoral-
ized the cut flower market. Quantity has
displaced quality everywhere, and the
quantities of soft stock coming into the
market that can find no satisfactory out-
let are most discouraging. Even the most
skiUful growers find it next to impossible
to get a satisfactory percentage of high
grade cut flowers into the wholesale
houses in their shipments. These are the
conditions today; relief is expected daily,
but hope long deferred maketh the heart
sick.

Chrysanthemums rule the market. Rad-
ical observers say that this year's retail
prices are about equal to last year's
wholesale prices. Be this as it may,
prices are lower today than ever before
in the history of large flowered chrysan-
themums in this market. Despite these
conditions, indications of the latent
strength of the market may be found in
the fact that one-third more than last
week's quotations (to be explicit, $3 a
dozen) is being obtained today for fancy
stock of Major Bonnaffon and a few of
the fancy varieties. Among these may be
mentioned Honesty, white; Wm. Duck-
ham, pink; A. T. Stevens, yellow, and
Mrs. Wm. Duckham, golden yellow.
Other new varieties since last report
include George W. Childs, red; Dr.
Enguehard, pink ; Early Snow, white, and
Amorita, pink. This last named variety
is much in demand, the color being rather
scarce in the market today. Mary Don-
nellan, believed to be the most pleasing
shade of yellow yet introduced, has made
its appearance in limited quantities. Col.
Appleton is more prominent than last
week, much of the stock being fine. The
early varieties have practically disap-
peared.

The carnation market has experienced
a decided change during the last week.
Flowers are far more plentiful, and less
in demand, the smaller chrysanthemums
seeming to take their place in many in-

stances. Even the fancy stock cannot be
quoted over $2 a hundred, while much of
the ordinary brings little or nothing.

The rose market is immensely over-
stocked. American Beauties are less
plentiful. My Maryland is coming to
town in better shape than many of the
others, possibly due to its merit as a
warm weather rose, possibly to the extra
care. There is a noticeable improvement
in Bride, now a little more in demand at
the present low quotations. Violets have
proved unsatisfactory stock during the
hot weather. It simply knocks them out.
Orchids are not quite so plentiful, but
there is no advance in the price, the
demand having fallen off with the de-
crease in supply. Gardenias are scarce.
While the demand is limited, there seems
to be enough to keep up the price on the
fancy stock. Valley drags badly. The
rest of the list requires no special com-
ment this week. For quotations see price
Ust.

A Chat With Mr. Craig.

Eobert Craig is considered all over
America, perhaps all over the world, as
one of Philadelphia's representative
members of the profession. Brilliant,
versatile, well informed, what he says
carries weight everywhere. In discussing
the present business situation, Mr. Craig
said that he believes that after the elec-
tion, no matter which way it goes, busi-
ness will improve. While he deplores the
conditions existing in the cut flower mar-
ket today, Mr. Craig spoke enthusiastic-
ally of the demand for plants, which he
said is better than in 1904, 1905, or in
1906, and second only to 1907, which
was the banner year. It will be remem-
bered that the financial depression did
not occur until near the close of the fall
shipping plant season, or about this time
last year.

Mr. Craig believes that the current
prices o^i cut blooms of chrysanthemums
preclude the possibility of more than a
slight margin of profit, and that the
money, if there be any money, in these
autumnal flowers, will be made this year
during Thanksgiving week. The best
varieties for that time, he thinks, are

pointed out Amorita, a shapely pink,

plies. Mr. Beyer selected from among
them a beautifully proportioned enameled
white willow Beauty vase, tall and grace-
ful, with an irregular yet most pleasing
shape, difficult to describe. These vases

are fitted with pans, and are especially
adapted for displaying a few fancy
blooms to the best advantage. Next
came the Porto Bican mats, their number
legion, their colors covering the entire
solar spectrum, with the darker shades
accentuated for the purpose of display-
ing to better advantage the bright hues
of the flowers. Enameled German tone-
ware vases, designed on the accepted
loving-cup pattern, with three handles
around the bowl, are effective. It is
needless to say that all of these novelties
come in an endless variety of styles and
shapes. Mr. Beyer's selection simply
gives an example in each class.

Curwen of Berwyn.

Berwyn is the name given a prosperous
settlement that has grown around a sta-
tion of the same name on the main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad. It is a
well known fact that everything the
Pennsylvania railroad does is well done,
and Berwyn is no exception to this rule.
The station, the approaches and terraces,
the bridge over the tracks, are all first-
class, and have evidently attracted a
progressive class of business men. A
visitor gazing at one of these shops one
day this week was met by the legend,
"Harness and Shoes," and while he was
wondering what induced the proprietor to
combine these two industries, the pro-
prietor himself came up, shook hands in
a most cordial way, and wanted to know
what he could do for his newly made
acquaintance. The visitor was somewhat
startled, as it was out of business hours,
but explained that he had been to call
in the neighborhood and was not there
on business.

John Curwen has a thrifty establish-
ment about half a mile from the town
of Berwyn. His home is made beautiful
by scarlet geraniums and Vinca alba, a
combination rarely seen in full bloom

here during the last week in October.
Stretching away to the left of the house
are the flower and vegetable gardens,
near them the poultry run, and back of
this the greenhouses. Carnations, sweet
peas, asparagus, chrysanthemums, violets
and tomatoes are the principal crops.
Everywhere one is reminded of the Chi-
nese proverb that "There is no manure
like the footsteps of the master," and
also of the importance . attached by ex-
pert judges, like the great Sam, for in-
stance, to the product of the small or
medium sized place, where the grower
aims for quality.

Various Notes.

The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co.,
agents for the well known Peacock strain
of dahlias, has kindly submitted the fol-
lowing list as its choice of the six best
varieties of dahlias for cutting: Kriem-
hilde, cactus pink; Perle D'Or, shaggy

Maule, large shell pink; Clifford W.
Bruton, large yellow; Lyndhurst, scarlet.

To say that business is brisk would be
putting it a little too strong; still, when
one considers the unseasonable weather
we are'^having, the thousands of people
unemployed, and that we are on the eve

would be expected. Funeral work is in

BOSTON.

The Market

While more flowers are being sold
than a week ago, arrivals continue to
increase and there is a big surplus each
day. Such slight improvement as there
is causes grains of comfort, for condi-
tions were about as bad as we have seen
them at this season of the year. Con-
tinued unseasonably warm weather, by
keeping flower buyers in the country
longer than usual, hurts business. There
is a hopeful feeling that matters may
mend with the election uncertainty re-
moved. Roses are superabundant, with
a poor demand. Beauties are extra fine
for the season and of Richmond some
really fine flowers are now seen. The
heat has somewhat affected the quality
of some roses, Brides and Maids more
especially. Carnations continue to pile
up and, with no change in prices, there
are many unsold.

Chrysanthemums of the midseason
sorts are now in evidence, even some of
the later sorts, like Bonnaffon, being on
hand. The season is likely to prove th©
reverse of profitable, except for those

who have the best flowers, and even these
are not selling as they should. There
are some good violets and these sell tol-
erably well. Some mignonette is coming
in, but spikes are small. For candytuft
there is little call. Valley has a fair
sale, as have lilies. Callas have arrived
in small lots, also snapdragons, but
neither are wanted. Some extra good
smilax is coming in. Other green stock
is unchanged. About the only flowering
pot plants much in evidence are chrysan-
themums. The average quality of these
leaves much to be desired.

Flower Market Banquet.

The sixteenth annual banquet of the
Boston Co-operative Flower Growers' As-
sociation was held at Young's hotel, Octo-
ber 24. The menu could hardly have been
improved upon and many words of com-
mendation for the committee in charge
were heard. A magnificent vase of White
Killarney roses from Waban Conserva-
tories occupied a place of honor in the
center of the hall. Justice having been
done to the dinner, the presiding officer,
William C. Stickel, welcomed the invited
guests and called upon W. H. Elliott for
the first speech of the evening. Mr.
Elliott said he would prefer not to dis-
cuss the flower market under prevailing
conditions, but described a trip to Ber-
muda and spoke of the diseased condition
of most of the lilies seen growing there.

He also mentioned another trip, to
Quebec, winding up with a eulogy of the
Holstein cow, the great amount of money
to be made in raising this class of stock
and their especial value to rose growers
like himself.

W. J. Stewart said he hopes there will
be a good delegation to the coming na-
tional show in Chicago. Alexander Mont-
gomery said a few words about Rose
White Killarney, believing it to be a
little stronger than the parent and like-
ly to prove a valuable addition. Thomas
Pegler, as the newest addition to the
stockholders, made a good maiden speech.
Peter Fisher and E. A. Peirce made
short addresses. J. W. Duncan showed
himself to be a poet of no mean caliber,
contributing a humorous composition. H.
L. Cameron and W. N. Craig also made
addresses.

At a business session following the
speech-making, the secretary's aijd treas-
urer's reports were read and accepted.
The treasurer's report showed receipts
of the year amounting to $10,515.27, ex-
penditures $10,429.23; cash balance in
various savings banks $6,837.59; notes,
etc., $1,140.99. A dividend of $6 per
share was declared by the directors prior
to the regular meeting.

Election of officers resulted as follows:
President, W. C. Stickel; vice-president,
William Nicholson; secretary and treas-
urer, George Cartwright; directors, A.

Montgomery, William Nicholson, L. W.
Mann, E. Sutermeister, A. Christenson
and Thomas Pegler, the last named tak-
ing the place of the late W. W. Edgar.

It was decided to hold a market ex-
hibition again and $200 for prizes and
$25 for printing was voted from the cor-
poration. A committee of eight was ap-
pointed to start work at once on framing
a schedule. W. H. Elliott, E. A. Peirce,
William Sim, Peter Fisher, S. J. Goddard
and others spoke on the proposed show,
which is planned to far eclipse that of
last March.

Various Notes.

Among those who are planning to visit
the national show, in addition to those
named last week, are: William Nichol-
son, Peter Fisher, W. J. Stewart, W. H.
Elliott, E. A. Peirce and Alexander
Montgomery. William Miller, Bar Har-
bor,. Me., also will attend.

H. M. Bobinson & Co. will keep open
house on the evening of October 29, it
being the third anniversary at their pres-
ent quarters. They report the flower
trade as a little better, but with far too
much stock arriving. Their leucothoe,
hardy ferns, smilax and other greenery
are selling well. Galax leaves are now
spotting badly.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
opening on November 6, a silver medal is

nation Winona and thinks it will displace
Winsor, having splendid stems thus early

M. A. Patten has a large batch of his
seedling crimson carnation, which is
yielding a wonderful crop of blooms.

The time when the few big establish-
ments will crush out the small ones is a
long way in the future in this section.
Probably nowhere else in America are
there so many small and medium-sized
commercial places, where the owners make
a comfortable living, as within a fifty-
mile radius of Boston, some pessimistic
talk to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Blue Hill Nurseries reports an
unusually strong demand for shrubs and
perennials for fall planting.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

EiCHMOND, Va. — Mann & Brown have
been repairing and beautifying their
store on Broad street. New flooring, ceil-
ing, electric fixtures, ice-boxes, flower
cases and other improvements have been
put in the store. Mahogany finish pre-
dominates in the work done on the in-
terior.

A round of the wholesale houses will
satisfy anyone that there are enough
flowers coming into this city to supply
the trade, and then some, at least while
the season continues when people can
live outdoors. We have heard of a num-
ber of places in this part of the country
where services have been held to pray
for rain. If this weather keeps up and
flowers continue to increase in quantity,
it will be up to the florists to call a few
meetings on their own account.

It has been entirely too warm to put
any life into business and trade was slow
all the week. While chrysanthemums
have not been exactly a glut, it was neces-
sary to sell them cheap in order to keep
them moving, and carnations fared worse
than mums, if anything. They are com-
ing in quantities for which there is no
demand.

Sweet peas have made their appear-
ance, but do not look very attractive.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

OCTOBEB 29, 1908.

Vegetable Forciag.

It is reported that the famous grape-
vine at Hampton Court, near London,
England, has a crop of about 300 pounds
this year. This vine, which is under
glass, was planted in 1768. It has at-
tained a girth of four feet six inches
one foot from the ground, and covers a
roof space of 2,200 square feet.

IN FAVOR OF ORGANIZATION.

I was glad to note the call issued by
E. A. Dunbar, of Ashtabula, O., and S,
B. Chester, of Cleveland, O., for a meet-
ing of the growers of vegetables in
greenhouses, to be held in Cleveland, O.,
October 30 and 31, for the purpose of
organizing these growers into a national
society.

I sincerely feel that these gentlemen
should be congratulated* as the instigators
of this movement, and they should cer-
tainly receive the hearty support of all
persons engaged in this industry.

WASHINGTON.

. The Market.

That so much talked of Indian sum-
mer is making a sort of mother-in-law
visit, with no sign of an early departure.

Chrysanthemums are coming in with
a rush. The numerous wedcUngs have
helped considerably to move them and
the heavy demand for funeral work still
keeps up. Most of the stores have the
appearance of a regular chrysanthemum
show. _^

Varioui Notes.

The finest mums in this market, up to
the present, have been cut at Mr. Trail's
plant, at Frederick, Md. His Beatrice
May, white, by actual measurement, runs
ten inches in diameter.

The Gude Bros. Co. has had a fine lot
of Clementine Touset. They have had
trouble with this variety, as the least jar
snaps the bloom off at the neck. They
are cutting at present a fine lot of
blooms from their general stock of mums.

Z. D. Blackistone is back from Deer
Park, Md., much improved and able to
attend to business. He had the rsdlway
convention banquet at the new Willard
hotel last week, for 300 covers.

A call at the stores found George C.
Shaffer all smiles, and he reports an ex-
ceptiona^y busy week.

J. A. Phillips is doing duty as a juror
and the bulk of the work has been up to

The firm has timber leases on some 30,-
000 acres of land and says that in the
thirty years it has been connected with
the lumber business in that section it
has never seen holly so full of berries
as at the present time.

At Chicago October 27 timothy seed
was firmer. March closed at $3.82i^ bid.
Country lots, $2.40@3.50. Clover seed
was dull at $8.50 for October and $6 to
$8 for cash lots. At Toledo clover seed
was: Cash, $5.07%; October, $5.10; De-
cember, $5.15; March, $5.27^5; No. 2,
$4.85; No. 3, $4.75; rejected, $4.65. Al-
sike, prime, $8.90.

Lem W. Bowen, president and gen-
eral manager of D. M. Ferry & Co., De-
troit, states that the reports coming from
the Pacific northwest with regard to his
firm's establishing a seed farm in that
section are "all a mistake." Shown a
clipping from a Denver paper, which
said the firm was to do something large
in Idaho, and asked for something au-
thentic, Mr. Bowen said : ' * The only
answer we can make is that we have no
present intention of establishing a seed
farm in Idaho, or any other western
state, nor have we contemplated any
such thing."

M. FuLD, of W. W. Rawson & Co.,
Boston, says that the call for Dutch
bulbs this year has been far above their
supply.

Archias Seed Store, Sedalia, Mo., is
having plans made for a 2-story brick
warehouse to be built in the rear of its
present quarters.

Robert Laughlin, of Kenton, O., is
one of the largest growers of sets and
onion seed in the Ohio district and is
said to have several thousand pounds of
onion seed now in store.

Referring to the season's business in
bulbs, Peter Henderson & Co., New York,
say: "We ordered very conservatively
this year, so we are now buyers instead
of having a surplus to offer."

Anton C. Zvolanek, Bound Brook, N.

J., has announced his determination to

sell out his greenhouse establishment and

devote his entire time to his business in

"^eeds of winter-flowering sweet peas.

Edward Lotz is preparing to start in
th6 wholesale seed business at Salina,
Kan.

James Vick's Sons, Rochester, say:
"We havfc had a splendid trade in bulbs
this fall and our stocks are rapidly clos-
ing out, so it is evident we shall not
have any surplus."

J. D. Funk, seedsman of Bloomington,
111., had a two-column article in the Chi-
cago Tribune October 23, in which, from
the point of view of the farmer, he de-
clared "Bryan's bank plan like bogus
seed."

The F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown,
N. Y., reports a splendid bvsiaess in
Dutch bulbs. Their bulb trade extends
to the Pacific coast and they felt enough
confidence in the prospect for the pres-
ent season so that orders for import were
placed on the same scale as in preceding
years. The result has been that, with the
good demand, they have had one of the
best bulb seasons in years.

Menticn The Review when you write

A HANDSOME FLOAT.

Paul F. Eichter forwarded the Eeview
a photograph of the float representing
the Henry F. Michell Co; in the indus-
trial parade at Philadelphia, October 7.
The illustration gives an excellent view
of the beautiful effect created and needs
only a few explanatory words. The field,
12x20, was entirely of natural grass;
the center, of red and white tulips and
blue hyacinths, the national colors. The
pillars were surrounded by blue hyacinths
and yellow and draped with the city
colors. Specimen Boston ferns surmount-
ed the posts, and ^ handsome evergreen
was placed behind the driver. Philip
Freud, who designed the float, has mod-
estly refrained from appearing. No
other seed house participated.

ASTER SEED CROPS.

Keferring to our aster seed crops,
would say that we are in the midst of
harvesting and up to this time have been
unable to say much about the crop, but
we now think that we have a fair idea
in regard to it.

The indications now are that we will
have less than an average crop of aster
seed this season. The long continued
drought has caused the plants to mature
very rapidly and in consequence the seed
yield will be much lighter. Queen of the
Market, all colors, will be a heavy crop.
Daybreak, Purity and all the late branch-
ing varieties will be a short crop. Not-
withstanding the short crop, we expect to
be in a position to fill all of our con-
tracts in full. ViCK & Hill Co.

SEED WAREHOUSE COLLAPSES.

The floors in a section of one of the
warehouses of the Illinois Seed Co., 236
Johnson street, Chicago, collapsed at
about 9 p. m., October 23, when no one
was about except the watchman, who was
not in the part that collfipsed. A section
in the center of the building, about
30x50 feet, went down, all four floors
giving way, and piling up possibly ten
cars of grass seeds in the break. The
basement was pretty well filled up with
stock, so the first floor had only a couple
of feet to fall to receive support. The piles
of bags on each floor in turn partly
supported the floor above, so that it was
only the fourth floor that went down any
distance. On the fourth floor the floor-
ing on the west side of the break, being
laid without breaking the joints, parted
cleanly from the joist, while the east
side held, tobogganing the stock into
the break. The walls of the building
remained intact and, indeed, piles of
bags almost on the edge of the break
on the different floors were not dis-
turbed. The seed was principally country
lots of timothy, with some clover and
mustard. Quite a few bags were torn,
but no great loss is anticipated on this
score, as machining would have been
done anyway. The bursting of the water
pipes put about an inch of water in the
basement before the flow could be cut
off, and some loss will result on this ac-
count.

The building was one which had been

occupied only since May 1, 1908, and
the owner had remodeled and strength-
ened it to carry the heavy loads incident
to the seed business. The city building
department had made an inspection and
pronounced it safe, but the department's
cards, showing the permissible load, had
not been put up. A few hundred dol-
lars will repair the building. The build-
ing is just south of the one heretofore
occupied and access to the railroad
switch was across the collapsed section,
so tliat receiving and shipping were in-
terfered with for a few days. It was
stated that about 150 cars of seeds were
in the two buildings at the time of the
collapse, with eight or ten on track next
day. Much of the stock also is stored
outside, but less this season than in the
past. The business, under the presi-
dency of George S. Green, is growing
rapidly.

BUSINESS IN BULBS.

Referring to the business in Dutch
bulbs, which in normal seasons is draw-
ing toward a close at this date, Harry A.
Bunyard, with Arthur T. Boddington,
New York, says:

"With regard to the surplus of bulbs
this season, we are afraid that we are
like the small boy who said, 'There ain't
goin' to be no core.' Speaking from our
own experience this season, we find bulbs
moving rapidly, and we have had to cable
several additional orders, besides buying
a quantity in this country to fill our
orders. We are also being continually
asked for stock by dealers, whose orders
we reluctantly have to turn down. We
do not think there has been much surplus
so far in the bulb business this season,

as the men buying purchased conserva-
tively last spring, which is one of the
main reasons for the above condition.
This also applies to the small dealers
and florists, who on second thought have
decided to buy more bulbs for growing
and for local trade.

"There is still a good month for selling
bulbs and, while there may be eventually
Bome surplus at the tail end of the sea-
son, it will be nominal."

GARDEN SEED SUPPLIES.

As regards seed crop supplies for the
approaching season of sale, conditions
are most unusual, because of the shortage
in stocks covering such a broad field as
respects genera and varieties.

Every year there are harvested a few
short crops of seeds of certain families
of vegetables, while of other families,
and by far the greater proportion, there
are generally harvested either bouncing
seed crops or at least suflScient supplies
to fill all usual demands, but the past
summer and autumn of 1908 have devel-
oped an unprecedented condition of an
unusually lengthy list of short seed crops,
and worse yet, in many instances the
short crops of seed were of those par-
ticular varie'ties of which little was car-
ried over of crop 1907.

This is most particularly noticeable
with the families of peas, beans, sugar
com, cantaloupes and other vine crops,
beet, tomatoes, egg plant and radish,
nearly all varieties of which have already
greatly advanced in value. Of some the
harvest has only been twenty, thirty and
forty per cent of expectations, while
many of them have only been saved in
such quantity as to warrant an expecta-
tion of seventy to seventy-five per cent of
♦he prognostications of the summer. Seed
crop returns in the first instance, as
where the returns are thirty to forty per
cent, are most alarming, and in the
second instance, where the returns are
seventy to seventy-five per cent, they are
such as can only meet moderate demands.

These conditions, which in many in-
stances it ^\•ill be perceived are most
stringent, are not yet so fully realized as
thqy will be in some few weeks hence, by
which time final reports from growers
will have been received, but even now

ONION SETS AT CHICAGO.

From a source connected with South
Water street and the provision trades
comes this statement of the onion set
market :

"The onion set crop in Chicago terri-
tory is about all harvested and is con-
ceded to be short from 25 to 30 per cent
this year owing to dry weather, but the
quality is good. The weather was hot
and dry in July when the sets were bulb-
ing and this has given a hard, sound set.

"Prices being paid to farmers are
about $1.75 for reds and yellows and
about $2 for whites. Some farmers are
even refusing to sell at these prices and
say they will hold until later.

"Considerably more stock has been
shipped up to the present time than the
average at this season. Business is in

The greenhouses are in the suburbs and
at the store it is planned to do every-

Natick, Mass. — As the ordinary city
water supply had become inadequate for
the Waban Rose Conservatories, the water
commissioners agreed to extend the large
pipe of the system to the greenhouses.
Before this plan can be carried into
effect the action of the commissioners
must be sanctioned by the voters, but it
is not thought that there will be any
difficulty in securing the voters' consent.

Business is fair, although hardly up
4© •that of the same time last year. Some
of the retaiters have had quite a funeral
trade, but outside of this there is little
to report.

Mums are in their prime at present
and are fully up to the standard of for-
mer years. The outdoor grown stock is
almost exclusively produced by the Chi-
nese and the prices are well down. From
$1 to $2 per hundred is the ruling price.
Indoor stock is bringing fair prices and
moves well. Carnations are almost a
drug at present, on account of the excess
of mums in the market. The best
flowers cost the retailers from $2 to $3
per hundred. Roses are much more
plentiful than at any time since spring.
There are quantities of Bride and Maid
brought into town and anything except
long stemmed stock moves slowly.

Violets, since the couple of days' rain,
are more plentiful and show better color
and length of stem. Smilax is getting in
better shape and maidenhair fern and
asparagus seem to be slightly scarcer.
A few late blooming Japanese lilies and
amaryllises are seen, but their seasons
are practically over,

A GOOD CLIMATE FOR DAHLIAS.

I have expressed to the Review two
of my new dahlias, hoping you will re-
ceive them in good order, so that you
can see how great their merits are. One
of them, as you will see, is red, the best,
purest and most brilliant red, with no
shade of crimson in it. I named it after
our governor, J. N. Gillett. It is a
splendid keeper. I have kept the flow-
ers for two weeks in good condition. The
other, the amber colored and incurved
one, is named Sequoia. It is as nearly
chrysanthemum-flowered as can be.

I have many other fine varieties of my
own raising, which I wish you could
see, as the climate here, at Eureka, Cal.,
is unsurpassed, I think^ for the grow-
ing of dahlias. The climate is cool, with
a good deal of foggy weather and few

really hot, sunny days, so dahlias grow
to perfection. This summer, however,
has been exceptionally dry and there has
been a shortage of water for irrigation.
Consequently the flowers I have sent you
are rather small, especially the Sequoia,
which normally is about twice as large
and blooms earlier in the season. I have
dahlia blooms from May till November,
on the same plants. Last year they
bloomed till December, as we had no
frost to hurt them till later.

So far this season we have had but
little frost, not enough to do any harm,
and the long dry spell is broken. Dur-
ing the last three days we have had
about four inches of rain, with warm
weather, so the dahlias may make a
fresh start and bloom a good while
longer, especially those of late planting.

Henry Melde.
[The dahlias, on arrival, were not in
a fresh enough condition to be accurate-
ly judged, but our opinion, as far as we
are able to form one, is that the varie-
ties are probably fine enough to be true
to Mr. Melde's description. — Ed.]

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Market conditions last week were not
encouraging to either grower, retailer or
wholesaler. The weather was warm and
unseasonable and stock of all kinds was
overabundant, with a scarcity .of buyers.
Prices, of course, went down on all
grades of stock. Carnations, which have
been scarce right along, became a glut
and extra good stock was bringing only
$1 per hundred, for which $2 and $3 were
asked the week previous. The market
opened October 26 with not so many, but
they will again increase in the next few
days.

Roses were even in less demand than
carnations and at all the wholesale houses
they were a glut, with prices low on all
grades. Downtown retailers were selling
them at 15 cents and 25 cents per dozen.
Extra fancy American Beauties sold fair-
ly well.

Chrysanthemum blooms were in de-
mand, especially fancy grades in yellow
and white, with prices not as high as
usual at this time of the year.

Violets have been selling well, but these
are not as yet of good quality. The

warm weather of last week did them no
good. The violet growers say that it
will take a week of cold weather to bring
out the color to make them sell well and
bring a price.

As we have not yet had a killing frost,
cosmos, tuberoses and dahlias are still
coming in from outdoors. Valley is plen-
tiful and of fine quality.

This week is horse show week and most
of the retailers are looking forward to
quite an increase of business in cut
flowers.

The frost of October 13 settled all
dahlias, and shipping came to an abrupt
stop in this section. Cosmos was slightly
affected by the same frost, though not
so seriously, only a few of the flowers
being nipped. Rain is wanted to bring
out the late flowering stuff, such &f
hardy mums, to perfection.

Last week, while William F. Bassett,
the veteran dahlia grower, was returning
from Atco, the harness of his horse be-
came disarranged and the animal bolted.
Mr. Bassett, however, had enough pres-
ence of mind to steer the horse into a
peach orchard alongside the road, where
the wheels sank into the deep sand, stop-
ping the horse in a short time. Mr. Bas-
sett is in his eighties and is the orig-
inator of several good dahlias.

J. Murray Bassett, of Packard street,
flowered a nice, fancy dahlia among his
seedlings. It is a pretty red, with a tint
of orange in its center petals. Of
course it needs another trial to prove
its merits. H. K.

Officers for 1908- 9: Pres., Charles J. Brown. Ro-

The 84th annual convention will oe held at Ro-
chester, June, 1909.

The Elm City Nursery Co., New
Haven, Conn., reports the present season
much the best it ever has had for or-
ders for fall planting.

Benj. Chase, Derry, N. H., says the
way nurserymen are buying labels indi-
cates they are cellaring stock in antici-
pation of a big spring business.

AQUH.EGIAS are useful for planting
among rocks. Plants grown from seed
may be kept in rows in the open ground
all winter, and in spring can be lifted
and planted permanently to bloom.

Phlox subulata is a charming plant
when in bloom, and even when devoid of
flower it continues to nestle close to the
ground and forms a decorative and luxu-
riant carpet of green until it is ready
to flower again. In rocky places, where
small pockets of soil can be found for
the plants to take root in, nothing can
beat Phlox subulata.

W. M. BOMBERGER, of Harlan, la.,
says that promiscuous seedling apples
are variable in hardiness and behavior
in the west, and it has been found neces-
sary to discard them. But it has been
found that Jonathan does well top-
grafted on Haas; Grimes Golden will do
finely, fifty per cent better, top-worked
on English Golden Kusset.

After long litigation the EUwanger
will contest was settled before Surrogate
Brown at Rochester October 16. The
contest was over the appointment of
William D. EUwanger as executor of the
estate of George EUwanger, who left
about $2,000,000. By the settlement the
objections against the executor are with-
drawn, and it is estimated that the grand-
daughters will get about $500,000.

Henry W. Illinberger removed from
Brookline, Mass., five years ago, where
he was employed by Mrs. Jack Gardner,
to Lake Geneva, Wis., to take charge
of the landscape work being done by N.
W. Harris at his summer home there.
He now has become associated with
Klehm's Nurseries, Arlington Heights,
111., and is in charge of landscape work
they are doing at two places in Mil-
waukee.

PRIVET FOR SHRUBBERIES.

California privet is so firmly intrenched
in the minds of most people as the great
hedge maker that it is seldom thought
of or made use of for any other purpose.
Privet in two or more varieties can,

nevertheless, be used advantageously in
the formation of shrubberies, especially
when these shrubberies are laid out and
planted with each kind in a group, as
they should be. The beautiful forma-
tion and dark green of the privet foliage
all through the season, and in many
places well into the winter, as well as
the ornamental habits of the various va-
rieties, make it desirable for grouping.
And again, if flowers are desirable, they
are by no means wanting, either. M.

reports were generally favorable, both
as to quality and quantity. There was
discussion as to the line of demarcation
between the professional and the amateur
florist. This brought out a diversity of
opinions. It was the consensus of opin-
ion, although no formal action was taken,
that any persons who grow flowers either
for wages or for sale should be consid-
ered as professionals. The matter of
holding a series of lectures during the
winter was also discussed and the execu-

The Market.

Conditions last week were about the
same as the week before, with plenty
of stock and no great demand for any-
thing. There were quantities of stock
for the street faker at almost any price,
and on Saturday large lots were disposed
of in this way. The continued warm
weather has brought the mums on with a
rush and there are more coming in than
can be sold to the regular trade. Some
extra fine Halliday, Touset and Ivory
mums are coming in at present.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Milford Parks has had an at-
tack of appendicitis, but is now improv-

There will be a meeting of gr^ojihouse

nois, Michigan and Pennsylvania will be
represented, ^u organization will be
formed to better their interests.

Fred W. Griffin has been showing some
attractive windows of late.

George Heinl, of Toledo, spent a few
days in Cleveland, visiting friends. He
has just returned from a health-seeking
trip abroad, which no doubt h^s done him
a world of good, for he surely looks it.

The Arkansas Floral Society, which is
giving the annual exhibition here, is re-
ceiving the support of both the society
element and the newspapers. With such
backing the show cannot fail to be a
success. Liberal premiums are offered
and Paul M. Palez, who is the superin-
tendent of the show, has received assur-
ances which indicate an exhibition that
will be quite a step in advance of the
successful show of last year. The pub-
licity given by the newspapers and the
interest taken by society ladies insures
a large attendance.

This will be considerably the largest
exhibition held in the southwest this
year. It is hoped to obtain the co-
operation of the Society of Southern
Florists and the attendance of a large
number of those in the trade from the
south and west. The dates of the show
are November 11 to 13.

CaNONNATL

The Market

Last week was one which really marks
a period in the history of the flower
business in Cincinnati. I doubt whether
ever before there were so many flowers
in this market. The wholesale houses
were packed with them and there was no
business to speak of. The retail stores
reported nothing doing and the wholesale
houses just about gave away the stock in
order to make room for that which was
sure to come in the next morning. Even
the carnation, which up to this time has
been scarce, suddenly arrived by the
thousands and became a drug. Mums
and roses were just the same as carna-
tions and, in fact, every variety of flower
in season suffered in like manner.

To a certain extent there was a clean-
up on Saturday, but by far the greater
portion of the stock found its way to
the dump. This week business is still
quiet, but there is not so much stock
coming in and, as the weather has turned
much cooler, it is to be hoped that the
cut has been checked so that the market
can recover to something like a normal
state. Beauties show a decided inclina-
tion to go off crop and it would be a
good thing if they would do so. The
first Bonnaffon of the season arrived
October 26 and, true to the reputation of
this great mum, the entire shipment sold
out at a good figure.

Various Notes.

L. H. Kyrk made a hurried trip to
Detroit last week, where he had been
summoned to appear before the Federal
grand jury as a witness in a post-oflSce
case.

Clarence H. Conger, son of J. T. Con-
ger, of Hartwell, O., is now foreman at
the greenhouses of C. P. Mueller, Wich-
ita, Kan.

B. Eschner and Martin Eeukauf, both

C. J. Ohmeb.

Portsmouth, Va. — D'Alcom & Sons

Totty's latest novelties. They report
that Alice Roosevelt has got through the
ventilators, nine feet high, but trust it

MILVAUKEE.

The Market

The continued mild weather of last
week helped to keep the market well sup-
plied with roses, lilies and mums. The
early varieties of the latter are mostly
gone, and the fancy and midseason va-
rieties now reign. Now that mums are
plentiful, everything seems likewise, as
usual, and this had a tendency to weaken
prices all around. While carnations are
only equal to the demand, they, too, came
down in price. On Friday evening the
much looked for rain came and it has
been cool and cloudy, with occasional
rains, up to Monday evening. These
conditions, no doubt, will shorten the sup-
ply for some time, anyhow.

The funerals of the late millionaire
lumber dealer, J. Schroeder, and the
former city official, P. Muenzberg, cre-
ated quite a demand for stock. The west
side florists, who were chiefly benefited,
had no trouble to fill the orders, as there
was plenty of stock.

Various Notes.

W. A. Kennedy, of the C. C. Poll-
worth Co., escorted his mother home to
New York, and while he is down east he
will visit some of the large growers.

M. Moore, who is associated with Mrs.
Ennis in the retail flower business and
is the democratic candidate for state
senator, fourth district, had a narrow
escape recently, as an automobile contain-
ing him and five others was ditched near
North^ Milwaukee. They were running
at a low speed; consequently no one was
seriously injured.

Every member should attend the regu-
lar monthly meeting next Thursday, No-
vember 5, as important business is on
hand. E. O.

A fire at the greenhouses of William
Getzien is reported to have caused a loss
of $7,000.

plays in his show windows.

Glrvin's Handy Cutter

Mr. Florist, If you once firet one of these cutters on your finger you will never
be without it for many times the price. Just the thing for cutting your carnations,
sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be bothered with a knife or follow
the old way of breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better

and save you money and time ? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus ruin hundreds
of young shoots daily, simply because a knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter, if
you are not entirely satisfied with it you can return
ft and hB"e your money refunded. These cutters
are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and
contain a removable blade.

THE COAL TRADE.

The coal trade is atill unseasonably
quiet, but producers claim that the de-
mand must shortly expand materially.
Consumers have been buying strictly
from hand to mouth all through the sum-
mer, but such a policy is fraught with
danger as winter approaches, since snow
storms are apt to seriously interfere with
deliveries. The normal output of bi-
tuminous coal in the United States is
1,000,000 tons every working day. In-
stead of running full time and allowing
stocks to pile up to an enormous extent,
producers have merely mined in the same
ratio as the consumption. The working
week has been reduced by several large
companies to four or five days, and there
have been frequent idle days not report-
ed by the newspapers. The increase in
consumption, which cannot be far distant,
means that there will be a rush for coal.
In the meantime prices are not being
reduced, at least openly, and perhaps not
to any extent privately.

I need to heat my greenhouses. There

PlflNG IN OrtlO.

My greenhouse is 12x60, and seven
feet and a half high to the ridge. The
boiler will be placed in a cellar adjoin-
ing the north end. The cellar is 12x12,
with a workroom above it. I expected to
get a Wilks boiler, 20x36, and to run
a 2-inch flow from the boiler along the
ridge, returning with twelve 1^4 -inch
pipes, six under each bench. The expan-
sion tank would be ten feet above the
boiler, in the upper room. The house is
intended for a general line of plants.
Will the proposed piping be sufficient to
heat to 60 degrees in zero wfeather?

A. O. N.

Yes, the piping you have planned
should give you a temperature of 60 to
65 degrees during severe weather. Eun
the flow pipe from the boiler under the
ridge of the house to the far end, and
there use branches of 2-inch pipe to carry
to the manifold supplying the six 1^4-
inch pipes under each bench. Connect
the expansion tank with the main return
close to the boiler, and be sure it is
several feet higher than the highest point
in the flow pipe in the house. The high-
est point in the flow pipe should be at
the far end of the house. At this point
an air valve should be placed and tried
at least twice .each day, morning and
evening, during the time the plant is in
operation. L. C. C.

A VARIETY OF ESTIMATES.

A florist here, in Missouri, is about to
build a greenhouse, 30x96, with 5-foot
concrete walls. He was thinking of mak-
ing it into two 15-foot spans. He has
estimates from a local plumber and the
junk man, as follows: A tubular boiler,
forty-eight inches by sixteen feet; eight
runs of 4-inch pipe, consisting of four
flows and four returns. He says he in-
tends to carry forty pounds of steam
pressure and use oil at 80 cents per
barrel.

I have argued for a single house and
have figured as follows for 70 degrees
above outside air: For hot water, 180
degrees at the boiler — three 2-inch flows
and eighteen 1%-inch returns. For five
pounds of steam — two 2^4 -inch flows and
fourteen 1^4 -inch returns. For ten

pounds of steam — two 2-inch flows and
ten li^-inch returns. The house is partly
protected, but not much.

Is it better to place the pipes overhead
or near the ground? With the heat gen-
erators, as the Honeywell or the Kroes-
chell," does the elevation of the expansion
tank still retain its relation to pressure,
as with the open system? H. G". M.

My personal preference, in such a

case as this, is for the one large, even-
span house. There is a decided saving in
cost of construction. There is a consid-
erably larger volume of confined air,
which is a decided advantage in sections
where outside temperatures sometimes
change quickly.

This plant can be satisfactorily heated
with either steam or hot water. If I
were to use hot water, I would use a
single 3-inch flow pipe and sixteen 2-inch

install one 2-inch flow pipe and twenty

what I would advocate, if I believed in

Economy In Fuel, With Safety'

This is the assurance which comes to the florist who uses a Capitol Boiler
in his ereeiihouse.

Capitol Boilers require le»s fuel, less personal attention, and are
unsurpassed in heating efliclency.

Capitol Boilers are safe from explosion — they simply canaot explode,
because they are made of ca«t iron. ^ »

In Capitol Boilers the expansion and contraction is talcen care of by
means of divided sections. Each section is in itself a sma'l bofler, with its own
internal circulation. Thes» sections (or small boilers) are connected directly with
the header, making the entire boiler a combination of many small boflers each
capable of independent action. Each section makes its own steam and no
matter how great the strain on any one section, it does not Imnart itself to the
balance of the boiler, becauFe of the individual .sectional connection.

No other make of boiler presents so much of practical value to the florist as
does the Capitol. Catalogue, prices and all infurmation mailed direct from any
uf our branches.

inch returns. The elevation of the ex-
pansion tank determines in all cases the
pressure on the system, unless one is
using the direct pressure from city
mains. In modern hot water heating the
expansion tank, connected with the main
return near the boiler, acts merely as
balance for the system, which for all
practical purposes is a closed system.
The old open system is seldom seen in
plants installed nowadays. L. C. C.

ERE, PA.

The Market.

The city is smoky again from the rag-
ing forest fires. Everybody is praying
for rain. This has been an unusual year
for Erie in many respects.

The chrysanthemum season is at hand
and the floral stores present a beautiful
appearance, decorated with the gorgeous
fall flowers. Yellow mums are in great
demand here; the supply does not seem
to be equal to the demand. Violets are
seen in small quantities, both single and
double. The Amerpohlii fern is fast
becoming a general favorite here; when
well grown it is a "feast to the eye."

Summer visitors who had come here to
seek the cooling breezes of Lake Erie
are now returning to the metropolis
again.

The Market

Last week was decidedly dull. There
was little demand for stock of any kind,
except here and there a stray funeraU
Boses and carnations are plentiful, and
of good quality. Lilies have been scarce.
The weather was unfavorable the latter
part of the week, being cold and rainy.

Variouc Notes.

Growers in Minneapolis think well of
the new rose. White Killarney, and a
number of them have put in a large
stock of it.

E. Fancourt, representing the Pennock-
Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, was in town
last week, soliciting orders for florists'
supplies, and also selling stock of the
new rose, "White KiUarney. He is also
making a specialty of new and fancy
ribbons to match the Killarney, which is
such a good seller in the east.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting
some fine blooms from its new roses,
which are expected to appear on the
market the coming season. This firm is
also cutting some good single violets.

"Will Bros, have a fine house of
chrysanthemums, from which they are
now cutting a large crop.

Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouse is cut-
ting some fine Monrovia, which are sell-
ing at the good price of $4 per dozen.

The Sunshine Florist has moved to a
location on Hennepin avenue, in larger
quarters, and is prepared to do better
business than ever. M. E. M.

Greeley, Colo. — A $5,000 greenhouse
is in process of erection at the State
Normal School, to be the central feature
of an elaborate plan of landscape gar-
dening. It is situated in the rear of the
Normal building, and a broad walk runs
from the Normal through the greenhouse
and the gardens out to Nineteenth street.
Masses of shrubbery and beautiful flower
beds on each side will complete the ef-
fect.

Florists at Chicago, November 6 ^ 14,
and then the Omahans will try to arrange

For some time Hess & Swoboda have
been furnishing orchids for Chicago trade,
and other florists have recently taken
up the culture of these flowers, until
Omaha now prides herself on being an
orchid market as well as a grain market
and packing center.

L. Henderson, president of the local
florists' club, and J. H. Hadkinson, sec-
retary, will attend the Chicago show and
take an exhibit of flowers, as will also
representatives of the Hess & Swoboda
firm, which is to furnish a large share
of the orchids.

Mr. Hadkinson has had charge of many
flower shows and displays in St. Louis,
New Orleans, Chicago and elsewhere.
He is one of the original flower show
men and will go to Chicago with the idea
of promoting a flower show for Omaha
next year.

BUFFALO.

The Market

"Mum's the word" with everybody.
Stock is plentiful, especially in white.
Trade has been quiet and this accounts
for the piling up of stock. Funeral work
moves most of the white flowers. Carna-
tions are still short in stem and do not
bring a good price. A little outdoor
stock is still on the market, but not
enough to hurt the other sales. The
weather is still mild and few frosts have
occurred so far.

Variota Notes.

The last meeting prior to the mum
show to be keld in Buffalo was held a
few days ago at C. T, Guenther's, at
Hamburg. Final arrangements were
made. The affair is to be held at the
Iroquois hotel. A banquet will follow
for the members in the evening. The
club expects all the members to turn
out, for much good stock will be on
exhibition and everybody will be well
taken care of.

Bulb planting has started in full
swing and a lot of work is being done.

Charles Sandiford has grown a fine lot
of pot mums for the show. He also has
a fine lot of orchids in bloom.

Joe Striet, grower for S. A. Anderson,
has his begonias in fine shape and will
send a sample of his stock to the Chicago
show. E. A. S.

Flower
Show

November 6 the great show
will open in the Coliseum
building at Chicago and if you
can possibly get away you
should by all means come and
attend this exhibition. You
will profit by doing so, as the
exhibits are coming from all
parts of the country and from
Europe and it will be the
biggest show of the kind ever
held. You can't afford to miss
this show.

We want to meet all of our cus-
tomers and friends at the show
and our Mr. N. J. Rupp will
be on hand at the hall to greet
you — ask for him when you
reach the building and we will
do our best to make you
welcome.

You are also cordially invited
to visit our factory when in
the city and see how perfect
greenhouse material is made.
We shall be pleased to show
you the plant at any time.

Don't forget the date, Novem-
ber 6th to 14th, and don't fail
to come.

HOV KRAMER LOOKS AT IT.

way, IS

The Editor's Foreword.

P. H. Kramer, who, by the
president of the Washington Florists'
Club, is original in all that he undertakes.
Whatever he does is done in a large
way- — including advertising. He has
made a fine success in his business — with
a liberal use of printers' ink — develop-
ing it along lines in keeping with the
modern tendency .foward large volume at
moderate prices, rather than along the
lines followed by the retailers who have
catered only to the wealthy.

Believing that the increase in produc-
tion tends away from the old methods of
marketing cut flowers and plants, the
Eeview asked Mr. Kramer for his views
on the subject of the department store
method of advertising for a retail florist.
Here is his reply:

Eggfs Under the Hen.

In answer to your question, "Does my
advertising pay!" I want to ask if you
suppose for an instant that I am con-
stantly pulling off double-page, full-page

out of a spirit of charity for needy news-

When I was down at the foot of life's
ladder I used to put eggs under a setting
hen. Not to tickle her vanity, but to
produce more chickens.

I applied the setting hen idea to adver-
tising. Placed hundreds of dollars in
printers' ink, and hatched thousands.

Newspaper advertising is the kind for
retail returns. The " newspaper — it's the
one place people go every day.

Now, don't let me mislead you to
thinking that advertising is a magic way
of making money.

Must Pick Out a Good Hen.

I try to exercise the same great care
in selecting mediums and advertising
copy as I formerly used with hens and

eggs.

While there are four "best" news-
papers in Washington, I use only one —
"the best"

Some people think it mighty hard to
determine which medium is the one for
them to use after several clever solicitors,
representing as many propositions, get
through with them.

I go further than the little piece each
of t£ese copy rushers speaks — right to
the newspaper itself.

The Question of Copy.

In raising chickens, I always used to
set a hen on her own eggs. In that way
her actual laying and hatching worth
were quickest realized.

This idea I applied to advertising —
made the advertising hen (the news-
paper) set on her own eggs.

I did this by using advertisements pre-
pared by the newspaper's own "copy"
department.

I argued with myself this way:
"Kramer, you know flowers as a florist
— newspaper man can't tell you anything
about how to grow stock. Now, why
shouldn't a man who has made the prep-
aration of advertising copy his life
work be able to produce better-pulling
advertisements than you could? If the

readers of his paper as effectively as you
know how to force flowers. Try out such

However, I pulled up a chair for the
chap with the delicate air and started
in to tell him in monotone what was
wanted.

How Kramer Got Started.

Out came his pencil and paper, &nd
the first words the diminutive one
uttered came out clean and sharp:
"Now, Mr. Kramer, let's have it — ^your
whole idea — don't be afraid to repeat —
talk as fast as you like."

After recovering from my first aston-
ishment at the fellow's change of front,
I started in and unburdened the dis-
jointed thoughts that had been crowding
my mind for weeks. How that chap got
half that was said beats me. "Short-
hand," he called it.

After I had finished he cross-examined
me — wanted to know reasons for this,
reasons for that — plied me with ques-
tion after question.

Next day he came around with the
copy.

The following day we used it.

Since then my advertising has been
appearing in the Washington Times
regularly.

Besultsf Well, if you want results
from retail advertising, make the hen
set on her own eggs. If she don't pro-
duce, get a new hen.

This isn't any part of my story, but
the fact is the Times copy department,
a new factor in Washington newspaper-
dom, is building up advertising columns
as bright and entertaining as the news
with which they serve their readers every
day. It's the biggest thing any news-
paper ever did for its advertisers; a
service given complimentary — and, by
the way, this is a suggestion for every
progressive florist.

Programs Don't Pay.

I have at tinjes used whole pages in
theater programs, offering inducements
to equal the value of the purchase, with no
results; also in programs for church

fairs, bazaars, and entertainments of all
kinds, with practically no results, only
favoring the solicitor, who may happen
to be a customer.

I know all florists are liberal in donat-
ing, and I am a firm believer in liberal-
ity; it pays.

I also believe that if, for instance,
your payroll in your store is $100 per
week, your advertising expenditure should
equal that amount.

I know from personal experience that
I get results, and I furthermore believe
in advertising something that people
want, when they want it, and at a price
that will make your ad attractive.

I also believe in having up-to-date,
catchy copy — no stock stuff, but some-
thing original, and change it with every
ad.

My advice is, if you advertise, don't
look for the bflst results at once, but
keep at it — don't get cold feet.

It will only take patience and time,
but it will come.

A Real Palm Sale.

I always have a palm sale every fall.

I don't merely advertise it a palm
sale, but make it a palm sale.

For instance, I use a 4-inch kentia or
areca, which I sell practically at cost,
and advertise them strongly, even with
signs that cover the whole of my deliv-
ery wagons.

By doing so I get results, of course,
with a loss of several hundred dollars
and no profit on the palms.

But the public knows I had a palm
sale!

Whyf

Because I gave a real bargain, but
where I realize is on the future trade.

Never be afraid to use bait, and use
it freely.

Fish don't bite all the time, and when
they don't, you shouldn't be afraid to
use fresh bait.

To my mind, here is a good example:

Free Rok Plants a Hit

The latter part of last June I had a
surplus of about 20,000 rose plants left
over. I could not sell them, so I inserted
a small ad to read like this:

Free — 10,000 rose bushes — one to each
person.

Imagine my surprise, the next morn-
ing, when I went to open my store, . to
find the place besieged by a mob.

In half an hour I was compelled to
caU for officers to keep the people in line.
I was compelled to close my other two
places of business and even called on my
greenhouse force to help handle the
crowd.

And by night we had given out over
16,000 plants!

The results were that in my three
places of business I did not take in a
single cent that day — and it was the
hardest day's work we ever did.

The question from everywhere was,
"Did it payt"

Why, yes! I think it did, not then,
but since.

Advertising is not at all a gamble.

SALVIA LORD FAUNTLEROY.

Never having seen any advertisements
of Salvia splendens Little Lord Fauntle-
roy, I have wondered whether it was .as
well known as it deserves to be. I
think of all salvias, had I my choice, this
one should be mine. Its perfectly glob-
ular shape and its dense habit of growth
make it the ideal salvia for edging. It
never exceeds two feet in height and
grows^ naturally in a perfect globe. Al-
though it does not flower quite so soon
as the other varieties of salvias, I have
found that if started a little earlier it
is not far behind.

It does not come true from seed, but
a few good plants lifted and planted in
large pots or ii^ a bench will give one
all the stock he needs. Like all salvias,
it should be planted in full sunshine. For
formal planting in the grass it is as good
as boxwood as regards form, with this
advantage, that it needs no trimming
and can be changed from year to year
at nominal cost. Alfred Peabce.

OECHSUN IS OPTIMISTIC.

If you live anywhere near Chicago and
are feeling run down at the heel, and a
little bit uncertain about the future, it will
be worth a good deal more than the cost
to run out to Frank Oechslin's, at West
Adams and Forty-eighth avenue, and get
a bit of inspiration. Business always is
good at Oeclislin's, because the stock is
what people want — dollars are what
Oechslin is after. It is not so much a
question of how big a profit can be made
on a plant, but how many can be sold,
that determines whether or not Oechslin
will grow it. He handles only the things
that can be sold in quantity. Just now
ferns are a large item, and chrysanthe-
mum bush plants are more numerous
than in other years, but Christmas bloom-
ing plants in all the staple varieties will
soon pretty nearly monopolize attention.
After that will coih«Ji{eEaster stock and
bedding material — but the point is that
Oechslin is optimistic.

"You see," said he, "September this
year was better than a year ago. Octo-
ber, too, was good. We did more all
summer than we ever did before and we
look for a fine season. It's lucky we
had such a good fall trade, else I don't
know what we should have done when it
came time to house the stock. You can
see for yourself, the place is full."

And it is. There isn't an inch of va-
cant space unless it's where a batch of
plants was taken off a bench by an or-
der clerk, not five minutes before. Not
only are the benches and frames full,
but the Economy bracket on every post
makes space for flats of young stock for
next crop.

The place is spick and span through-
out— always looks as if visitors were ex-
pected— and in fact there are not many
hours of the day the proprietor or his
chief assistant, James Hancock, have to
themselves. There are about 65,000 feet
of glass all told and it was only ten
years ago October 15 that Mr. Oechslin
started with little more than a deter-
mination to succeed.

You comment, as you pass along, that
the stock looks fully as good as usual

ROOTING THE CUTTINGS.

In propagating geraniums, I think it
is a good plan to pick out short cuttings
and lay them in the sun for several hours.
I made some hundreds of cuttings in
August and laid them for a whole day
on the lawn, in the blazing sun. After
that I put them straight into pots, gave
them a good watering and then kept them
pretty dry until they were rooted. From
these very plants I am able to take some
cuttings again, as they are from five to
six inches tall. I have always believed
that the roots of those struck in boxes
get damaged too much while potting.
W. M.

GENERAL CULTURE.

I am not in the least surprised that C.
W., whose communication on geraniums
appeared in the Review of October 15,
did not find shade of any advantage in
prevention of damping in geranium cut-
tings. In fact, shade should be avoided
absolutely when caring for geraniums, no
^matter whether in the process of rooting
or growing after being rooted.

After the plants are rooted it may be
safely enough advised that the cooler
they are kept the better the plants will
be. By that is not meant that they
should be subjected to a freezing tem-
perature; everybody knows better than
that.

I have never believed in or practiced
what is known as sprinkling. Instead,
when the plants are in need of water I
let them have it in suflScient quantity,
and no more until they get into a like
condition again.

The plants should be kept in low
houses and as near the glass as possible.
All decayed foliage should be removed
from the plants. M.

TROUBLES IN PROPAGATING.

Though my experience in propagating
geraniums dates only from the fall of
1907, it may be interesting and helpful
to other beginners. My son, not then
twenty years of age, had for several
years been growing geraniums and other
bedding plants in a small way — about
7,000 geraniums and several thousand
other plants each year — and had good
success in rooting the cuttings. He con-
tracted typhoid fever in August, 1907,
and died in September.

As I bad paid little attention to the
rooting of cuttings and had failed to
get information from a paper that my
son had been getting regularly, I was
obliged to go on without knowledge of
the best methods, and the result was
that I lost 6,000 out of 7,000. Later I
received some information on the sub-
ject and toward spring was succeeding
well, rooting a high per cent.

This fall, August 1, we put in two
lots of cuttings, one of zonal and one of
scented geraniums. Of the zonals every
one rooted well, and of the scented al-
most all. August 15 I went over the

stock plants and broke some cuttings
almost off, letting them hang about ten
days. I then took off these cuttings, to-
gether with a lot of others that had not
been previously broken. In 2,000 of
these I lost not over fifty, and I saw no
difference in their rooting. But my suc-
cess, I think, was on account of the dry
weather, which put the growth in better
condition for rooting than was the case
a year ago.

I put the cuttings in about three
inches of sand, on a bed in the green-
house, and keep the ground moist and
shade a few days during the hottest part
of the day, but never while the tops are
wet from watering.

I know very little about this matter,
but am anxious to learn all I can and
would be glad to hear from others.

E. BUSHYAQEE.

REPOTTING A LARGE PALM.

A customer brought a large palm,
something on the order of a latania, but
more slender, to be repotted. I cannot
remember the name of it. It had been
growing in the yard during the summer
and had been thoroughly potbound, be-
ing in a 14-inch pot. We cut the roots
some from the bottom, enough to get it

into a 12-inch tub — Fibrotta ware — and
sent it home. They placed it on the
third floor, under a tin roof, in a room
50x120 feet, where the fresh air was not
plentiful. There have only been two or
three days when the sun was very hot
and all the other plants were there with
it, with no signs of decay on them.

My customer states that the girl only
took a gallon of water for seven plants^
none of them being in less than 9-incli
pots. The palm tub was filled to the-
very top with soil, as we did not like to-
cut the roots more than was necessary,,
and she should have gone back and re-
watered it in order to give it enough..
They have had many palms and always-
have them around, but this is the first
one to act so, and as it is a valuable-
palm, I feel badly about having a part
in the trouble.

I meant to say that it began dying,,
the lower leaves first, and while the new-
est five leaves are still in fine condition^
the rest are past all help. The leaves-
died at the outer edge first and then to-
ward the center, where they have already
turned a light yellow and are fading:
fast. D. B.

It was a mistake to prune the rooter
of this palm and also to repot it at this
season of the year, when the active grow-
ing season is past, and especially when
the plant was to be subjected to such
treatment as seems to have -been given
in this case. The cause of the trouble
undoubtedly is the root pruning and lack
of care, and from the description givent
^t would seem doubtful if the plant willl
recover. The roots of a palm should not
be cut away, except in the spring, and!
even then the plant needs extra care, in
a warm and shaded greenhouse, for some-
time afterward to enable it to become re-
established. W. H. Taplin.

PLATEAU OF ROSES.

The accompanying illustration shows a
plateau of roses, an arrangement so fre-
quently used on, the luncheon or dinner
table. This was made by Charles Henry
Fox, Sign of the Rose, Phil^idelpbia,
who also employs it effectively on a

add that but one variety of roses is used
in any plateau. Either Bride, Kaiserin,
Ivory or Killarney would be effective in
such an arrangement. Phil.

SHOWER BOUQUETS.

Will you please give us a few brief
directions how to make shower bouquets
of lily of the valley, sweet peas or vio-
lets? R. E. T.

After any of the finer or smaller flow-
ers are made up into a shower bouquet,
the general appearance is about the same
— it is in the arranging or making up
that the difference lies. Let us first con-
sider lily of the valley, which is the most
popular, as well as the flower best adapt-
ed for this purpose.

A medium size valley bouquet will re-
quire from 100 to 125 sprays, depending-
somewhat upon the fullness. This of"
course does not include those flowers to-
be used in connection with the shower-
of ribbon.

Before beginning work on the bouquet
itself it would bo wise to prepare the
narrow ribbon for the shower, as this-
will not be so apt to wilt as the valley.
It will take from twenty to fifty yards
of ribbon to produce a nice, effective
shower. You can use either the regular
baby ribbon or, if a wider ribbon is
wanted, use No. 1% or No. 2 gauze or
satin taffeta. The gauze ribbon makes
up prettily. There are several ways of
making up the shower of ribbon. One is
to use the whole piece, the other to cut
it into various lengths. In either case
have someone handy at tying bows to tie
little bow knots about seven inches to
ten inches apart on the ribbon. If yovt
want the effect of streamers, cut the
ribbon into lengths varying from one to-
two feet, gather these pieces up at one
end and hold them together with a rosette

each spray or two of flowers, keeping the
leaves well below the flowers. Care
should be taken when two sprays are
wired together 'that each spray shows.

Now take up a few of the wired sprays
and start the bouquet. You will have
to use some other green, preferably
maidenhair fern or Asparagus plumo-
sus, with, the valley to hide the wires and
make the whole more effective. Hold the
flowers in one hand and with the other
tie them into place. Arrange the flow-
ers so that some will stand out beyond
the others. As you draw near the finish
of the bouquet, begin to use the unwired
valley in with the wired. The stem or
handle of the bouquet should be long and
slender, otherwise it is awkward to hold
a shower bouquet in the correct position.

Now, have some person hold the bou-
quet while you arrange the shower of
ribbon which you have previously pre-
pared. If you are using the whole piece
of ribbon, then fasten one end somewhere
in the center of the bouquet and let the
loops of ribbon hang. It will not be
necessary to tie each loop to the bouquet;
just hang it over the flowers; tie only a
few times. When you are working with
the ribbon cut into lengths, fasten the
rosette to one side of the bouquet and
arrange the streamers loosely in between
the flowers.

To further the shower effect you must
now tie some valley or green, or some of
each, in with the ribbon. This is done
by loosening some of the little bows and
sticking the flower spray into the loop;
then draw the bow tight again.

The final step is to wind or cover the
handle or stem of the bouquet with green
foil or silk ribbon, or to slip over it one
of the covers made for this purpose.

While it is not absolutely necessary to
tie a large bow to the handle, it adds
much to the appearance of the bouquet
and really belongs there. This bow may

be either gauze, satin or one of the
scarfs made for this purpose. When
using ribbon or gauze, use it quite wide,
say No. 120 ribbon, or, if gauze, use
from the 6-inch to 10-inch widths.

When a bouquet of this kind is finished
it should appear as though a lot oi val-
ley were being strewn out of a cornu-
copia or horn.

If possible, it is advisable not to make
the bouquet long before it is to be used,
as the valley will wilt easily.

When packing it for delivery it is a
good plan to lay a piece of tissue paper
between the bouquet proper and the
shower, to prevent them from becoming
entangled.

In an early issue I ^vill endeavor to
give some aid in making up bouquets of
sweet peas or violets.

A LONDON EXHIBITION.

The great horticultural show under
the auspices of the Franco-British Exhi-
bition in London at the beginning of
October was notable on account of the
grand displays of fruit and vegetables
from EngUsh and French growers. Some
of the collections were the most remark-
able ever seen in London, notably a col-
lection of almost all the known varieties
of potatoes from Sutton & Sons, Read-
ing, weighing about two tons, and a su-
perb large exhibit of vegetables from
Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co., Paris. The
same firm also exhibited Primula obcon-
ica, improved, large flowered, including
white, bright red, fringed and double
flowers.

Cayeux & Le Clerc, Paris, put up an
interesting collection of potatoes, as did
also John K. King & Sons, Coggeshall,
England. An interesting exhibit from
Henri Guichard, Nantes, France, attract-
ed the attention of visitors, containing as
it did camellias in variety in all commer-
cial sizes, pictures of health and full of
flower buds.

Croux & Fils, Chatenay, one of the
most noted firms in France for trained
fruit trees in all shapes and sizes, were
in the front rank with superbly grown

apples and pears. Calville Blanche is a
favorite apple with Parisians and I have
seen it on sale in the shops in winter
and early spring, fruits weighing about
eight ounces, 2 francs each (about 40
cents American). They are a great del-
icacy on the dessert table, of fine flavor
and remarkably handsome. At Croux &
Fils' nurseries I have seen them in per-
fection. BEE

PLANTS FOR UNHEATED HOUSE.

I have built an addition to my green-
house this faU, 9x50, with a wall be-
tween. It is even-span, eight feet to the
ridge, and faces north. I shall not put
heat in this winter, as I thought to use
it as a sort of coldframe. Would lettuce
and violets do anything there! My house
I use for a general assortment. Are
there any of the regular bedding plants
that I could keep growing there? If so,
please give me a list of what might be
kept there with safety, in this Wisconsin
climate. l. C. P.

None of the more tender bedding
plants would winter in an unheated
house, but you might plant myosotis,
pansies, double daisies, Canterbury bells,
foxgloves, aubrietias and a variety of
spring bedding stock and carry them
over winter successfuUy. Cover the
plants with dry leaves when the ground
is firmly frozen. It will be necessary in
case of very severe weather to use some
mats or board shutters on the glass
removing these during mild spells and
amng out on all favorable occasions.
The covering over the plants can be re-
moved safely about the end of February
We are afraid it would not pay to at-
tempt to winter lettuce in this house in
your climate.

Single violets would winter all right in
such a house, if well covered with dry
leaves. These will give you a heavy
spring crop of flowers. Princess of
Wales is the best variety to plant.

THE AUTUMN

EXHIBITIONS

MADISON, N. J.

The thirteenth annual show of the
Morris County Gardeners' and Florists'
Society opened October 29, and the hoo-
doo seemed to be working overtime, for
the weather was vile. However, the
weather the second day was much Jaetter
and thfe average attendance* will figure
up about as usual. ^

This show, as a whole, was the finest
this progressive society has ever put up,
and, considering that the weather was
so bad, the quality of the chrysan-
themums was a great surprise.

The finest vase in the show was the
vase of the new chrysanthemum, Mrs.
O. H. Kahn, a beautiful bronze variety,
set up by Charles H. Totty. This variety
has already been certificated by the C.
S. A., on both the exhibition and com-
mercial scale, and must be classed as one
pf the beet of the year.

Other fine . exhibits in mum novelties
'were: C. H. Totty, a magnificent bronzy
red; Pockett's Crimson, the best thing
in its color we ever saw; Mrs. Charles H.
Totty, a beautiful pink; Pockett's Sur-
prise, a splendid red, and Clara Wells, a
Ijeautiful incurved yellow.

James Fraser, superintendent for O.
H. Kahn, Morristown, N. J., staged some
. wonderful flowers of W. Duckham and
Clay Frick. This exhibitor took eight
first prizes in mums and the vegetable
prizes were all his. The new chrysan-
themum, Mrs. O. H. Kahn, is named for
his employer, and that the selection of
the name was a popular one in this sec-
tion goes without saying.

The prize for the largest flower in the
show was awarded to A. Herrington for

LENOX, MASS.

The town hall, Lenox, proved entirely
too small for the magnificent show held
in it by the Lenox Horticultural Society
October 28 and 29, All exhibits were
of a superior quality and the arrange-
ment of the same reflected the greatest
credit on the committee in charge. Cut
chrysanthemums were, as usual, the star
feature, the display of these being mag-
nificent, and it is doubtful if finer flowers
will be staged at any show in America.
Thomas Proctor, gardener to S. W. Pat-
erson, carried off ten first prizes, all the
newest varieties being included in his
collection. Mr. Proctor will take some
of his blooms to the national show, where
they should cause a sensation if staged in
good condition. Competition was keen in
all the chrysanthemum classes, some of
the other successful exhibitors being

Chrysanthemum Mrs. O. H. Kahn.

A Glimpse of the Autumn Exhibition at Madison, N. J.

George H. Morgan, Girantl Foster, E.
Jenkins, gardener; W. D. Sloane, F.
Heeremans, gardener; Mrs. John Sloane,
A. ^. Loveless, gardener; Charles Lanier,
A. H. Wingett, gardener; Zenas Crane,
Frederick G. Crane and Mrs. Robert
Winthrop.

Some fine bush plants vi'ere staged, one
beautiful specimen from Mrs. John E.
Parsons carrying 300 flowers. For group
of orchids there were some splendid ex-
hibits, Cattleya labiata, Oncidium
Rogersii and Vanda caerulea being much
in evidence. A. J. Loveless led in this
class, closely followed by F. Heeremans
and Ed^in Jenkins. F. Heeremans won
the Lenox Horticultural Society'^ silver
cup, which is to be won twice for pos-
session, for the best 100-foot group of
flowering and foliage plants, with a mag-
nificent arrangement. He was closely
followed by Edwin Jenkins. It is doubt-
ful if any other show in America CQuld
duplicate these groups.

A. J. Loveless led with American
Beauty roses. Other successful exhibit-
ors in the rose classes included F. Heere-
mans, E. Jenkins, George H. Morgan and
Thomas Proctor. There was a fine dis-
play of carnations. A. H. "Wingett was
well in the front with ferns and vege-
tables. The display of the latter was
unusually fine.

The attendance of society people was
large. Judges were: James Wheeler,
Brookline, Mass.; William Turner,
Oceafiic, N. J.; W. H. Waite, Yonkers,
N. Y., and Alexander McKenzie, Glen-
coe, L. I., N. Y. C.

The Shaw medal was taken by Henry

Dreer with his new Nephrolepis Scholzeli,

crested Scottii fern. They also took the

bronze S. A. F. medal and the society's

silver medal with the same fern. W.

A. Manda also competed for these medals

with his new Nephrolepis exalta Alberta.

Peter Reinberg showed a fine vase of
Marshall Field rose. A fine vase of the
new carnation, O. P. Bassett, was on ex-
hibition.

Visitors for the first day were: Mr.
Mann, of E. G. Hill Co.; J. J. Karins.
of H. A. Dreer Co.; B. Esehner, of M.
Rice & Co. ; Henry Blixen, of J. F. Am-
mann's, Edwardsville ; and A. S. Hal-
stead, Belleville.

The city park department made n
grand show of plants of all kinds and
greatly helped to fill the large hall.
Michel Plant & Bulb Co. also staged a
fine group. There were no decorations
of any kind in the hall. The election
returns at night drew a large crowd and
the committee is greatly pleased with the
attendance the first day. Prospects seem
good that the show will be a financial
success.

TROUBLE WITH MIGNONETTE.

I have mignonette planted in a bench
and it is about six to eight inches high.
The lower leaves are turning red and the
small green worms are troublesome. Will
you kindly inform me what I can do to
kill the worm and also to bring the
plants back to a healthy condition, as I
am afraid that I am going to lose all of

them if something is not done immediate-
ly? My bench is in my carnation house.
I only water as I think it needs it and
have good drainage. I have, dusted with
tobacco, but the worms seem to grow fat
on it.

J. H. S.

Either the soil conditions or extensive
dryness at the root are the probable
causes of the trouble. Your mignonette
is in poor compost or one containing too
much animal manure. A fertilizer might
cause the plants to become stunted and
turn red, but I am inclined to the opinion
that the soil has been too dry. It may
have looked moist on the surface, due to
sprinkling with the hose, but might be
dry underneath. Scratch over the soil
among the plants and give the bench a
thorough soaking until you can see the
water running out at the bottom. Loosen
the soil a little as it dries out and soak
well each time you water. If the soil
was poor, scatter a light dressing of well
decayed barnyard manure on tlie surface
as a mulch. The leachings will benefit
your plants.

The green worms you refer to can
only be held in check properly by hand
picking. This is slow and somewhat
tedious, but the only safe plan I know
of. I have tried poisons without much
effect. Tobacco dust is not a poison
strong enough to hurt them. Nicotine
extracts are good for controlling aphis,
but of no value against these pests.

C. W.

VINCAS.

W^ould it be practical for me to buy
now field-grown vincas, pot them and
keep in a house cellar until starting my
greenhouse in February? Or do you
think I can buy as cheaply in February
as now? F. E. C.

It is now getting late to secure any
field-grown vincas and, while iV would
be possible to carry them even in a
light cellar kept clear of freezing, it
would be better for you to buy in Feb-
ruary from one of the many advertisers
who olfer this plant in the Review.

SOME NOVELTIES.

The new things are now far enough
advanced to show their characteristics,
and I believe the novelties for 1909 will
be the best ever sent out at one time.
The Charles H. Totty has been fully
opened for a fortnight, but is keeping
splendidly and is a sterling good variety
in its color. It is a true Jap, veith
petals ten inches long, and has magnif-
icent stem and foliage. The color is a
light chestnut, with golden reverse to the
petals, and everyone that has seen it so
far is highly pleased with it. It has
already received two certificates, one
from the New York Florists' Club and
the other from the Morris County Club.

Yellow Miller is a lovely yellow sport
from Mrs. J. A. Miller, and I believe this
will be the king-pin of the novelties for
the year, for it is an exact counterpart of
its parent in everything but color, and
the only criticism one could ever make of
Mrs. J. A. Miller was that the bronze
color was too dull, as the stem is grand
and the foliage meets the flower. Yel-
low Miller has already received two cer-
tificates and is in line for more.

Pockett's Crimson is the name of a
seedling that I have had for trial from
W. Wells, or at least it will eventually
be the name of it. It is the grandest
thing in crimsons we have ever had. The
petals stand out straight, making a
flower as large as a dinner plate, and
the color is a magnificent, glowing crim-
son, just about the shade of the old G.
W. Childs. The tips of the petals in-
curve just enough to show a golden tint,
which makes a lovely combination of
colors. I think I may truthfully say that
Pockett's Crimson is the most striking
variety that I have ever handled in my
experience, and I only trust it will keep
in condition till the Chicago show.

Mrs. O. H. Kahn is the name I have
been asked to give to another Australian
seedling that 1 have on trial, and in all
probability it will be known by that cog-
nomen. While the flower is not so large,
it is perfect in shape and comes good on
any bud, from early August to a ter-
minal. Every one of my fifty plants is
carrying a perfect flower. One of our
largest commercial growers, on seeing it,
predicted instant popularity for this kind
as a commercial variety, for it does not
seem to have a single fault and not a
petal has damped in the heat. The color
is a warm bronze, almost the shade of
the little Brutus, with just a dash more
rose color in it. The incurving shape
will make it a keeper and shipper and
I have great hopes of this variety.

Mrs. C. H. Totty is producing an enor-
mous flower, almost the color of Lady
Hopetoun, but with a narrower petal.
The growth is not so strong as is usual
with the Wells-Pockett types, but from

present indications it will hold up the
flower. It is a beautiful, artistic flower
and, unless I mistake, will come in for
favorable mention later.

Lillian Coppard, certificated for me by
the New York Florists' Club, October
12, is a lovely chestnut scarlet. While
it may be too early for exhibition, it is
certainly the best early thing in its color
that we have. The demand for it is com-
paratively limited and yet there is enough
life in this flower to make it attractive
to a flower buyer,^ as it lines up to just
about a Victory carnation color. It is
too early to hold for the shows, so must
be classed as a commercial variety.

Rose Pockett is a seedling from Mrs.
W. Knox and has the same aristocratic
flower, with rather long necks on the early
buds. The color is charming — old gold
with the slightest suggestion of a flush
of salmon. In a collection Rose Pockett
will be most welcome, though it will not
come in the commercial class.

Clara Well* is a true incurved or Chi-
nese variety. So many of the incurved

sorts are very small that it is pleasing
to note one so large as this* The flower
is finishing into a perfect ball. It is a
splendid keeper and will be popular with
a large circle of growers to whom size is
second to keeping and shipping qualities.
The color is a creamy bronze.

There are several other promising
things that will be taken up later, no-
tably Mrs. R. Thorne and Leslie Morri-
son, but we will wait and see how they
develop. Meanwhile we will look over
last year's lot. The gem of these would
seem to be Mrs. Norman Davis. This is
producing enormous flowers, pure white
in color, and close behind it for size
is Mary Mason. That some enormous
flowers of Mary Mason will be shown is
certain, for it is making good everywhere
and is easy to grow. It is astonishing to
see how Mrs. Norman Davis has devel-
oped from the small, insignificant stock
it produces in early spring. Even small
June-struck stock is producing good
floAvers.

W. M. Moir is making more necky

u

flowers than last year, though the flow-
ers are large enough. It is suffering
from the heat, also, and is far from
being the flower it was last year.

Grace Whitney is finishing beautifully
and one notes with pleasure that it does
not damp. It should be set up in excel-
lent condition at the different shows.

Mary Donnellan is another sterling
good thing, as it gives no trouble and the
magnificent color stamps it as a yellow
of the first class. It is tall, but late
grown stock produces fine flowers and it
can be kept down.

THE SHOWS.

The mum season is now at its height
and it behooves. every grower to visit the
exhibitions. Take notebooks along and
jot down names of new and desirable
sorts. There are always some varieties
which need discarding. It seems hard
to part with some of these old friends,
but the successful grower cannot afford
to cling to the old sorts and fail to se-
cure the good new things being offered
each year. No grower can afford to be
without a good batch of Golden Glow
and Pacific, supreme among the earlies,
while there are some desirable varieties
among the midseason and late sorts which
it will pay many growers to try.

In saving stock plants select the best
and give them a light bench in a cold
house, rather than stand them under the
benches, as is too often done. To keep
your stock true, be sure to mark the
plants. It does not pay the average grow-
er to handle too many varieties. What
he wants are sorts which are good grow-
ers, have rigid stems, foliage well up
to the flowers and are good shippers.
Of course, where there is a good local
trade, many varieties can be advan-
tageously handled, which are handsome
but are poor travelers.

SOME GOOD POMPONS.

Chicago depends largely on Frank
Oechslin for mums in pots. He grows
two or three houses of these each year;
that's about all the trade calls for. But
tot a couple of years he has been doing
a good business with pompons; these
sell well. He has a set of three yellows
that are fine: Zenobia, early; Savan-
nah, midseason; Klondike, late. Alena
is a soft pink that comes in with Zenobia
and is fully as good a seller. A number
of people obtained stock of these of Mr.
OechsUn last season, so there were more
of them in the market this year.

One fine thing about these pompons is
that if the plants don't sell as expected,
you can cut the flowers and get your
money out of them on almost any dinner
job.

KALB AND BERGMAN MUMS.

What is the difference between Berg-
man and Kalb chrysanthemums?

NAME OF COLEUS.

I enclose a leaf of a large-leaved
coleus, of which 1 should like to know
the name. O. K.

The color was largely gone from the
leaves on arrival. It is probable that
the variety is Achievement, which is a
large-leaved variety. This goes under
other names, but is probably the sort
you have.

BEGONIA FOLIAGE DYING.

Please let me know what the trouble
is with my Begonia Storm Cloud. The
leaves get dry on the ends and look as
if something is eating the leaves, but I
can 't see anything. O. J. B.

Possibly a small leaf miner may be
eating the tissue from the leaves. In
this case, dip the leaves in a nicotine so-
lution. Perhaps dryness at the root may
be the cause of the trouble. There are
so many causes of decay on the foliage
that it is difficult to give a more explicit
answer without examining the leaves or
knowing more of cultural conditions.

RUST ON CARNATIONS.

I enclose some carnation leaves, whicL,
as you will see, have some disease or an
insect on them. -P-lease tell me what
it is and what to do with it.

C. M. H.

The specimens forwarded had a num-
ber of rust pustules on them, which, if
allowed to develop, would burst open and
free a brown, powdery mass, which con-
tains . the spores by which the disease
is propagated.

We have had a number of inquiries re-
garding this disease this fall, and in the
Review of October 15 we gave full di-
rections for handling this disease. If
you are in the habit of saving the num-
bers, as many of our readers do, it will
be an easy matter to look up things of
this kind. You can find no better man-
ual to guide you, in times of trouble,
than the back numbers of the Eeview.
There are few subjects which are not
treated at one time or another during
a period of a year or two. In a ma-
jority of cases they are treated from an
advisory standpoint, oh account of trou-
ble. You can always learn more about
how to handle a plant when you hear
some expert tell what to do in case of
this trouble or that, than you can from
hearing of its character and behavior. Aa
long as things go along smoothly and
the plants apparently take care of them-
selves, anyone can grow any given plant,
but when diseases and insects make their
appearance, then is when experience
counts. The man who is most familiar
with the numerous plant diseases and
the best remedies therefor, is usually the
most successful. So save your Reviews,
which tell you how to handle plant dis-
eases. A. F. J. B.

NITRATE OF SODA.

Is nitrate of soda any better than
liquid manure for carnations? Please
teU how practical growers use it.

P. W. M.

Your query is a broad one and any
answer given in reply must necessarily
be more or less qualified. Whether ni-
trate of soda is better than liquid ma-
nure (and I assume you mean cattle
manure) will largely depend on the con-
dition of your plants. Under certain
conditions your plants may need a few
doses of nitrogen, which is the chief ele-
ment contained in nitrate of soda, and in
that case it would be the proper thing
to use.

The three elements which go to make
a perfect plant food are nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, and it depends
on the nature of your crop, and the tex-
ture of your soil (which latter point will
be shown by the action of your plants)
as to what proportion is needed of each
of these elements in addition to what
the soil contains- Growers of mums and
other plants who depend largely on the
use of chemicals for feeding, get these

elements from nitrate of soda, muriate
of potash and bone-meal. The latter is
sprinkled on, or mixed with the soil, while
the first two are applied in liquid form.
Other chemical compositions are also
made use of to give a change of diet, but
in the main those I have mentioned are
the three employed for general feeding.

No experienced feeder would think of
using tlie nitrate of soda extensively
alone, without using the others, too. Ni-
trogen produces largeness of growth and
size of flower, but when given in excess
it will cause softness and tiabbiness. For
texture you want the potash, and so you
see the different elements must be nicely
balanced in order to get the best results.

The usual amount which is considered
safe is one pound to fifty gallons of
water, of those applied in liquid form,
while of the bone-meal we consider that
one pound of bone applied in dry form
and in two or three doses is enough for
ten square feet of bench space for one
season of carnations. How often the
liquid forms should be applied must de-
pend on the crop, its condition and the
season.

Carnations should not be fed highly
until after the turn of the new year, but
it would be impossible to give expert
advice along this line without knowing
the local conditions. Ordinarily I would

begin with half-strength, once in two
weeks or so, and notice the effect before
giving any more. Then be guided by
the results.

Cattle manure seems to combine in
almost perfect proportion all the elements
required by most plants and it is by all
means the safest thing for the novice
to use. By the addition of bone-meal
and wood-ashes he can usually make out
well and without endangering his crop
in the least. These high-strung chemicals
are safe only in the hands of the expert,
whose trained eye is quick to detect any
discord between the plant and its diet.
My advice to you would be to stick to
the old, safe and reliable, or to use the
others on a small quantity of your stock
only. A. F. J. B.

EASTER AND MEMORIAL DAY.

Will pinks set out during October
bloom for Easter and Memorial day?
Also, if 1 start sweet peas now, can I
get them in bloom for Easter? How
shalll proceed? A. E. N.

Carnations planted in October should
give yon a heavy crop at both Easter
and Memorial day. It was rather late for
benching them, but if the plants were
not injured by early frost they should
give a good account of themselves. They
should also give you some blooms for
Christmas. A night temperature of 50
to 52 degrees should be kept, although
certain varieties do better 2 degrees
warmer. The Lawson and Enchantress
varieties should have the coolest end of
the house.

Sweet peas sown now will bloom
some weeks before Easter, which comes

WEATHER PLANT.

Please let • me know how to raise a
weather plant and how to take care of it.
I have planted the seed in a 2-inch pot
for a year. The seed looks the same as
the day I planted it. I kept it warm
and moist. O. J. B.

The so-called weather plant, or crab's
eye vine (Abrus precatorius), being a
native of the tropics, requires strong
heat to germinate its seeds, and to grow
the plant well a warm house is required.
If the seed remains fresh, soak for a
few days in warm water and then place
in moist sand. Place the seed pan over
your hot water pipes to ensure a con-
stant warmth. C. W.

THRIPS ON CYCLAMEN.

Under separate cover I am sending you
a sample of cyclamen leaves. Will you
kindly inform me what the trouble is
and how best to remedy itt The plants

with the small, common gray spider, is
doing considerable damage. C. F. M.

We at first thought your leaves were
aflfected with the dreaded nute, but closer
examination showed the marks to be
those of yellow thrips. This is a bad
pest, but can be controlled by persistent
work. Fumigate every other night for
a week. As smoking does not always kill

thrips, if you can spare the time dip
the plants in a pail or tub of water con-
taining a solution of some one of the
several tobacco extracts. Be sure the
foliage gets thoroughly wet all over. If
you cannot spare time to dip the plants,
spray the juice on with a force pump or
hand syringe, getting as much under the
leaves as possible. Bed fresh tobacco
stems among your plants every fortnight ;
this will act as a protection to the plants
from thrips and aphis. C. W.

Mignonette*

The passing of the unseasonably warm
weather experienced during the month
of October will improve the quality of
the mignonette. During hot weather it
becomes weak and the flower spikes are
thin and puny as compared with those
produced under cooler conditions. The
attacks of green worms have been un-
usually severe this season. These now
are happily gone and there should be
nothing further in the worm or insect
line to trouble the plants.

To secure fancy spikes, disbudding is
a necessity, leaving three or four to a
plant. These should be carefully sup-
ported to keep them straight. Bent or

twisted stalks are of little value. Many
growers prefer to leave on all the shoots
and are satisfied with medium spikes.
This is especially the case with those
having a good local trade.

Mignonette should never approach dry-
ness at the root. To assist in keeping
the surface soil moist, a light mulch-
ing of old hotbed manure can advan-
tageously be used. Feeding should not
yet be necessary. Avoid any but light
fumigations, as the foliage burns easily,
and hold the night temperature as near
40 degrees as possible, with abundant
ventilation whenever conditions allow.
The ventilators are better open aU night,
unless the temperature is unusually low.

Callas.

Callas are now well established in the
pots and a little liquid manure once a
week will assist them. Plants growing
in benches will not require any feeding
for a month yet. Ply the hose freely
among the plants to keep insects in
check and. do not allow aphis to get any
foothold, or it will badly disfigure the
flowers. Callas will grow and flower
in quite a low temperature, but we pre-
fer to give them 55 to 60 degrees at
night, the flowers opening much more
quickly than in a cooler house.

Primulas.

Chinese primroses are useful Christ-
mas plants, and the fact that they can-
be grown and sold profitably at a com-
paratively low price makes them popular
with flower buyers whose pocketbooks
lack the wherewithal to purchase azaleas
or poinsettias: Some of the earliest flow-
er trusses will now be well above the
foliage and every effort should be made
to have them as well bloomed as pos-
sible for the holidays. While red shades
sell the best, there is a fair call for other
colors.

It is unwise to attempt any forcing
with primulas; it only results in weak,
drawn plants. A night temperature of
45 to 50 degrees should not be exceeded,
and the plants should be as near the glass
as possible. The old-fashioned narrow
span houses with a path down the center
and a bench on each side have never
been improved upon for the culture of
primulas and cyclamens. As the pots
will now be well filled with roots, some
weak cow manure water once a week will

The Review brings results.

Now that the baseball season and the
election are both over, everybody can
settle down to business.

Well, the election is over, we all have
found out which Bill was counterfeit,
and if there was any excitement or
disturbance of business it wasn't espe-
cially noticeable in the flower trade.

With wheat around 100 cents a
bushel, corn 65 cents, oats 50 cents, beef
$6.50 per hundredweight at Chicago and
hogs $5.50 or better, it looks as though
the farmers would have a little money
to spend in town this fall, and quite like-
ly the price of a few 4-inch geraniums
may be available to a good many people
along toward spring.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

President Poehlmann requests that any
and all members of the American Bose
Society who can, will attend a meeting
of the executive committee to be held
in the Coliseum, Chicago, November 12.

The judges to act in the show for
roses, as appointed by President Poehl-
mann and jiled with the secretary of the
national show, are as follows: Eobert
Simpson, Wm. F. Gude, John N. May.

Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y.

EXPRESS RATES ON FLOWERS.

At the Niagara Falls convention the
Society of American Florists turned over
to its legislative committee certain mat-
ters affecting the rates on empty pack-
ages and the cost of gross weight where
ice is used.

Edward Keid, of Philadelphia; Alfred
Langjahr, of New York; Patrick Walsh,
of Boston, and George Reinberg, of Chi-
cago, have rendered eflScient service in
getting definite facts together. The
.American Express officials have given
courteous assistance and the matter will

soon be placed in the hands of Mr. Brad-
ley, 65 Broadway, New York, the Ameri-
»;an Express Company's representative on
tho general board of traffic managers of
the trunk line express companies.

Philip Breitmeyer mayor by safe ma-
jority."

The Market.

All Souls ' day was a disappointment
this year. The weather was bad for
business, and the growers in the flower
market, who were loaded down with small
mums and cheap flowers of all kinds for
the cemetery trade, had a hard time to
get rid of their stock. There was a
high wind, which bruised the flowers and
turned things upside down. The market
has been swamped with mums and car-
nations and roses of all varieties are in
oversupply. AU prices have dropped in
consequence. Last week the street boys
were out with thousands of roses and
carnations that were in good condition,
offering bargains that were seldom
passed by the public.

There will be a heavy loss to some of
the growers, caused by so much cloudy
weather, which has made many mums
damp off, especially the large varieties.

Various Notes.

One of the largest collections of chrys-
anthemums ever made in the city was
placed on exhibition at Carroll park
October 31. The collection is composed
of seventy-five varieties. In spite of the
bad weather there were a great many
visitors. Superintendent C. L. Seybold
escorted the visitprs around.

Plans are nearing completion for the
Maryland State Horticultural Society's
exhibition, which will be held in this
city at the Fifth Regiment armory De-
cember 1 to 3. Judging from the elab-
orate plans of the society this exhibi-
tion will be far superior to any pre-
viously held in this city.

Prof. White of College Park, Md.,
gave a very interesting talk at the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club on soils
and fertilizers and showed some fine
mums which were grown at College Park
as an experiment. Some were grown on
new soil and some were grown on soil
that had been used for nine years with-
out change and these flowers proved to
be superior to those that were grown
on new soil.

Bernhoimer Bros., who conduct one
of the largest department stores here,
have opened a cut flower department
which would be a credit to any store.
They sold 2,500 mums in one day last
week, shipped from different growers
in Pennsylvania. They expect to do a
heavy Easter trade, as they have agreed
to take one grower's whole output.

Halliday Bros, have some extra fine
single violets and carnations.

W. O. Stran has been cutting some fine
sweet peas, which find ready sale.

Chas. H. Cook has handled more ferns
this season than he did last. He reports
prices satisfactory. Q.

CHICAGO.

The Great Cenfa'al Market.

There were three days of good busi-
ness at the end of last week. The All
Saints' day demand for chrysanthemums
for shipment to the far south cleaned up
a large quantity of stock and, as had
been expected, sent white chrysan-
themums to a premium, compared to
yellow, reversing the condition which
had maintained earlier in the week. The
market was in a normal state October 30
and 31, better prices being realized be
cause of decreased supply and increased
demand. But it has been noticeable for
weeks that the shipping trade is better,
comparatively speaking, than local trade.
In spite of the fact that the week closed
with fair business, it was not up to a
year ago, when October closed with
things on the boom.

The current week opened with de-
creased supplies of chrysanthemums,
hardly so many carnations as the week
before, with a shortage of Beauties, but

with increased supplies of other roses.
Trade was light the first of the week, be-
cause of election. It appears that we are
just between crops of mums. The mid-
season stock crowded in early, and the
late varieties are not coming on as rap-
idly as was expected. The result has
been a few days of comparatively light
receipts and a noticeable shortage of
really good stock. There is an abund-
ance of small, soft, weak stuft that
nobody wants, but really fine flowers are
hard to find and have been selling well.
There is so much of the smaller stock
that it pulls down the price of the
medium grades and there is an unusually
wide difference between the top and the
bottom. This same difference is appar-
ent in other lines. There is more dis-
crepancy than usual between the price
of the top grade and the prices which are
necessary to clean up the left-overs of
both roses and carnations. Killarney
continues most in demand among roses,
but there has been an improvement in
the quality of Maid and it is selling bet-
ter. Richmond is abundant, but red

seems not in demand at present. White
roses are not in large supply.

While the supply of carnations has
not increased to any great extent, the
quality has improved and better business
may now be anticipated on that account.

Violets are selling well, but at low
prices. The supply has increased and
the quality now is all that could be ex-
pected at this date. Prices are so low
that retailers are using violets in quan-
tity. Valley also is abundant and there
are increased supplies of Easter lilies.

There is a good market for wild
smilax, but other greens are not in spe-
cial demand. It is noticeable that when
cut flowers are scarce and high, galax,
boxwood and other greens sell well, but
when cut flowers are plentiful and cheap
funeral work is made of them and the
sale for greens is slow.

Hospitalities.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. will provide spe-
cial cars to Morton Grove on the 9:30
train Thursday, November 12, and tickets
will be supplied to bring the visitors

quent trains after dinner. Several hun-
dred people are expected. St. Paul rail-
road, from Union Station.

The Chicago Carnation Company will
take the visitors to Joliet at 11:45
Wednesday, November 11. Lunch at the
greenhouses. Eock Island Station.

Bassett & Washburn will supply tickets
to Hinsdale to all visitors who call at
their office for them.

Peter Keinberg expects many visitors
to see the Field rose growing and will
have a reception committee on hand.
One of his outside investments is a brew-
ery, you will recall.

Frank Oechslin vrill keep open house
during the show, at his place at 2508 to
2660 West Adams street. He says the
advertising he did this summer brought
him many customers who have never
been at his place and whom he expects
to see there during the show.

West Madison Street.

Anyone riding out West Madison
street on the fine new drop-your-nickel-
when-you-enter cars will surely get the
idea that the florists are flourishing.
Not only is there a series of prosperous-
looking flower stores, but there are plants
in the windows all along the street from
the river to Garfield park. Fine Boston
ferns seem favorites and are in windows
of undertakers, bakers, restaurants, fur-
niture stores, barber shops and even the
saloons.

The first flower store, going west, is
the small but apparently prosperous one
of Martin Solms, at 391.

A cigar factory is in the store so long
occupied by H. F. Halle, but C. H. Fiske
is just around on Ogden and fell heir to

a large part of the HaUe trade, as he
continued the store for a time.

Schnell & Poppe, at 705, are a recent
addition to the street. Tliey attract a
good deal of attention by original win-
dow displays. Last week they had a
Halloween window that caught every-
one's eye, especially at night. There
were shocks of corn, pumpkin heads with
lights, and a white-clad "spook," as
well as mums and ferns.

The new Schiller store, where George
Asmus presides, makes a bold bid for
business. It represents a quite large in-
vestment, but affords facilities for a big
trade. Of double width, with modern
show windows, the store is wide rather
than deep, with workrooms in the rear
and conservatory still farther back.

Mrs. George Wells, where Colorado
avenue intersects, also has a window full
of stock and an air of prosperity.

The new greenhouse of H. N. Bruns,
east of his store, adds immensely to the
appearance of his place and to his facili-
ties. It is a good house. The front end
is filled with decorating stock and plants
for sale. It is kept lighted at night.
The rear half of the house is used for
valley. A new wagon-shed and boiler-
house, all brick and concrete, is fireproof.

C. Frauenf elder & Co. always are busy;
it is remarkable the amount of stock
they use day after day, good times or
bad. Taking the old Garfield park place
of F. Oechslin, they have largely increased
their facilities, especially in the plant
line.

October Business.

On the whole, October was not as sat-
isfactory as it started out to be. There
was first-class demand at the beginning

of the month and those who had the
stock rolled up a good volume of busi-
ness. Then the heat wave increased
supply at the expense of quality and
demand slackened. Although large lots
of stock were moved, prices were so low
the total sales were not as great as they
should have been. The last week of the
month, with a good All Saints' day de-
mand, was more satisfactory. A good
many houses in the first part of the
month were running up to and in some
cases ahead of last year, but during the
heat wave they dropped back and not
many can say the month's turnover was
as good as last year. At the same time
it should be remembered that October of
1907 was before the panic had got as far
west as Chicago and that it was a
splendid month. That the total of sales

We Can Take The Best of Care off All Orders.

Remember that while our reputation is made by the special fancy stock we
produce in such large quantity, we have shorter lengths for all who want them. So
large a part of our trade calls for " Fancy," we are able to make attractive prices to
buyers of shorter stock, especially if a quantity is taken.

Our Carnations are now in good crop and we can supply all orders. Fine stock
at reasonable prices. We are now prepared to supply a fine grade of ORCHIDS.

No order too large for us to fill; no order too small to receive our careful attention.

October Weather.

October was cooler than normal at
both ends of the month, but so, hot in
the middle that the mean temperature
for the thirty-one days was 55 degrees,
when 53 degrees is normal. The rain
was only a third of the normal precipi-
tation. There wwe foarteen clear days.

ten partly cloudy and seven cloudy. Kill-
ing frost occurred October 12.

Variota Notes.

Lubliner & Trinz, the Bandolph street
florists and Milwaukee theatrical mag-
nates, have just bought another play-
house in the Cream City, seating capacity
1,500. They expect to open it January
1. Joseph Trinz will give his attention
to the Milwaukee interest* in future
leaving Harry Lubliner in charge of the
flower store.

Frank Oechslin has heretofore had to
operate an electric pump to help out the
city water, but has just put in a 3-inch
pipe from a new main and will cut out
the pump.

tising; he says it is advertising In one

form or another that is responsible for
tho growth of his business. His latest
effort is a folder on the Japanese air
plant. He distributes these folders
throughout his neighborhood and finds
them invariably profitable.

Taft was elected Tuesday at the es-
tablishment of the George Wittbold Co.;
at least he had a good plurality in the
ballot box that stood all day in the end
of the show house.

P. J. Foley was at Cleveland October
30 and 31 to attend a meeting of grow-
ers of vegetables under glass.

Bassett & Washburn report having ob-
tained $5 per dozen for Appleton mums
November 2. They exhibited the O. P.
Bassett carnation at St. Louis this week.

G. H. Pieser, president of the Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., opened a new check book
November 2. It contained 1,000 checks.
He says he hopes to get rid of them all
by early January.

W. F. Jones, at Park Ridge, has three
houses of carnations in good shape. He
is a brother-in-law of Phil Schupp, of
J. A. Budlong's.

The E. F. Winterson Co. has a Boston
ivy, green, new to the west, which the
retailers are using for wreaths and other
similar work.

There were 110 couples in the grand
march at the dance of the wholesalers'
employees October 28, but this does not
indicate the full measure of the financial
success, because many firms who sell sup-
plies to the "wholesaleffe bought tickets
which were not used. The boys speak
a special word of appreciation for such
courtesies.

John Zech was judge of election No-
vember 3 and* earned his $5, because

there were 582 registered voters in his
precinct. Counting that many blanket
ballots well scratched up is as big a
job as filling shipping orders on a short
market. It may have been specially try-
ing in this case because Mr. Zech is
an ardent democrat and his precinct was
strongly republican.

L. Coatsworth says he thinks the Ehea
Eeid rose will turn out to be one of the
best things for spring that the growers
ever have got hold of.

C. M. Dickinson leaves November 6
for Chattanooga, to join Mrs. Dickinson
and proceed thence to Little Boc)t, where
he is to judge the show next wee'k.

Lion & Co. have sent M. Shattls to
Chicago to open a western headquarters.
He has secured temporary rooms at 19
Wabash avenue.

Vaughan & Sperry say that last week
gave them a better total of business than
any week since Decoration day and, ex-
cepting Decoration day, the best week
since April.

The Florists' Club will hold its No-
vember meeting at the Union restaurant
tonight, November 5. A large list of
applications for membership is to be
acted on.

N. J. Rupp was at Cleveland October
30 and 31 to attend the meeting of
vegetable forces.

Percy Jones says he does not look for
brisk business as long as the flower
show lasts, but expects it to help trade
all winter.

Weiland & Risch are beginning to cut
heavily again, of Killarney.

A. L. Randall Co. is going into green
and holly heavier than ever this year.

Fred Lautenschlager was at Cleveland

to attend the vegetable growers' con-
vention.

Scheiden & Schoos picked the winner,

The Market.

Cooler and more seasonable weather
has ushered in November and florists are
pleased to welcome it, not because it
will cause more of a run on the coal
pUe, but with strong hopes that it will
cause a break in the cut flower depres-
sion, which has prevailed for some time.
It cannot be said that business shows
any great improvement over a week ago.
Commission dealers are having better
shipping orders, but such an avalanche
of flowers is arriving that prices rule
low. Chrysanthemums now completely
dominate the market. The season for
these will be shorter than usual, as some
of the late sorts are already being
marketed in quantity. The blooms seem
to lack substance, due to the hot weather
experienced in October. Practically all
midseason sorts are now in evidence,
Appleton, Ivory and Bonnaffon perhaps
in the greatest abundance. Roses are
selling a trifle better. The hot weather
rushed crops along and took much of the
substance out of the flowers. Beauty,
Killarney and Richmond are all extra
fine, while Brides and Maids are coming
with stems of something like seasonable
length.

Carnations are, if anything, less
abundant than a week ago, with prices
holding about the same. Violets hold

fairly firm, not being in sufficiently heavy
supply to glut the market. Quite a
few doubles have been sent from the
Hudson, but these will not find a market
here when local growers' crops are in
season. Valley, gardenias, Cattleya
labiata and lilies all sell fairly well. A
little Paper White narcissus has made
its appearance. Sweet peas are still
rather short-stemmed. With the election
over and more seasonable weather condi-
tions, growers are looking for improved
business.

Various Notes.

Everything now points to a fine exhi-
bition at Horticultural hall, November
6, 7, 8 and 9. Entries far surpass those
of a year ago, and the show promises to
be a varied and iateresting one. The at-
tendance of the general public will, it
is expected, easily break all records for
a fall show.

The cooler weather has caused a big
run on Dutch bulbs. Farquhar & Co.
report much heavier sales than a year
ago, with many lines completely sold out.
W. W. Eawson & Co. report splendid
trade, as do Schlegel & Fottler Co., T. J.
Grey Co., H. E. Fiske Seed Co. and
Joseph Breck & Sons. Demand is spe-
cially strong on tulips and narcissi.

James Wheeler, who assisted in judg-
ing the late Lenox show, pronounces it

one of the finest he ever saw, the cut
blooms being immense and groups
superbly put up. The specimen blooms
were all grown in pots from six to nine
inches in diameter.

Cards are out for the marriage Novem-
ber 10, at the Baptist church, Brookline,
of F. B. Cannell, the popular bass soloist
of the Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club, and
Miss Ernestine Mae Thielscher, of
Brookline.

H. M. Bobinson & Co. kept open house
October 29, the occasion of their third
anniversary at their present quarters
being taken advantage of by a large
number of their customers to call and
'express their good will. Refreshments
were served and the evening was pleas-
antly spent with music and other attrac-
tions.

Houghton & Clark have dissolved the
partnership existing for some years, Mr.
Houghton remaining in charge of the
Boylston street store.

Peirce Bros., as usual, are marketing
an immense quantity of chrysanthemums.
They have a big lot of cyclamen coming
along for Christmas.

William Shillsbury and A. W. Kidder
are bringing in remarkably fine single
violets for so early in the season.

W. N. Cbuio.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

There was a slight slump in the gen-
eral business during last week, due, pos-
sibly, to the near approach of the elec-
tion, and it is expected that the coming
week will be worse. Flowers of all kinds
continue more than plentiful. Chrysan-
themums, being the seasonable flowers,
are the ones pushed to the front, and as
a result roses and other flowers are
suffering most.

The wholesale houses all say trade is
good and everything going nicely. Never-
theless, they are j3i pretty well loaded
and sales are generally at buyers' prices.
The retail shops are making good, honest
efforts to keep things moving and, as
they are able to buy cheap, are offering
special inducements to dispose of their
stock. One firm advertised dollar boxes
of flowers for Hallowe'en, each to con-
tain one dozen good chrysanthemums.
Another advertised, in big, 4-inch, doable
column ads in the daily papers, chrysan-
themums at 75 cents per dozen, the
finest varieties. While this looks like
selling flowers cheap, it shows just the
amount of effort it takes to do business,
and shows that, at least in the opinion
of some, it is better to keep their cus-

Florists' Outing.

The Florists' Club's outiog, November
2, was a grand success, so much so that
a number of those who were there are
already considering another sometime
this winter.

There were forty members who met at,
the Phipps Conservatory, Schenley park,
where Superintendent George Burke and
John Jones did the honors. The walk
through the houses is almost three-quart-
ers of a mile. The chrysanthemum show,
which has been continued for two weeks,
is on the wane, but there were enough
good things left to satisfy anyone. The
Victoria Begia house, owing to the good
weather, was still fine, some blooms re-
maining. Also the blue and pink water
lilies, and their collection of palms and
other tropical plants, are worth the trip
out there.

A house of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine
wa8 particularly fine. Cyclamen is an-
other thing which was well done here.
One house, filled with azaleas, had
plants of cosmos, pink, white and yellow,
so arranged that the azaleas were almost
concealed, and this arrangement looked
well.

Their next show will be begonias, with
a show of cyclamens and primulas to
follow. The general expression of all
was that Pittsburg is particularly fortu-
nate in havin'g such men as George Burke

fine house of cibotium, our hosts an-
nounced lunch. They had a private
dining room in a near-by hotel, where
forty-two of us were seated and started
right. The lunch developed into a ban-
quet, and as all were good, strong, hearty
fellows, ample justice was done to every-
thing.

After lunch another trolley ride took
us to their Stanton avenue greenhouses,
where many surprises awaited us. Mr.
Randolph startc'd| in '"ihe croton houses,
which are his I'^ecial pets, and there
were some who said — and they are old
men in the business — that while the col-
lection is a large one, it is also one of
the best in the country in the way of
variety. There are several houses of
terns, all fif Them gofl'd'f'1\6a^es of Chry-
-smrthemTims, intrhrding aril of "the commer-
ci^ cut flower sorts; gardenias, and all
ef the variety of stock found on a retail
commercial place.

Mr, Randolph was congratulated by
most of the gardeners on the general
appearance of everything, and the fact

was noted that there was not a rubbishy
thing on the whole place.

The party then went to the residence
of Ed Reineman for refreshments and
cigars, before going to A. R. Peacock's.

On arrival at Mr. Peacock's, the gar-
dener, Mr. Jenkinson, did the honors
and showed us a strictly up-to-date
private place, with orchids in variety,
chrysanthemums, roses, carnations, cyc-
lamens, which he does particularly well,
and other things too numerous to men-
tion.

On getting through here, it was dusk
and several other places on the list were
postponed for another occasion.

The general decision was that the

outing was a grilllH HllueeSB* and the best

■tnrng ever done by the rlub, and if any

of Jiiat bunch were not members they

had better get under cover quick.

The Market

Trade was fairly good last week. The
horse show and several good weddings
and receptions used up a lot of first-class
stock. The wholesale market was pretty
well crowded all of the week, with an
abundance of everything in season. It
was a hard task to dispose of all of the
first and second-class stock that came
in. Special fancies were not any too
many and found ready sale among the
uptown buyers.

Chrysanthemums are not as yet over-
crowding the market and prices are
rather high. There are some good Rob-
inson and BonnaflPon to be had» Ivory is
expected in this week, .also Mr«» Jerome
Jones. , : •

Roses are at their best. Extra long
Beauties were not any too many. Other
grades in these are also cleaning up well,
but Bride, Maid, Richmond, Killarney
and others have been plentiful right
along. <"arnations, too, were more than

varieties are coming in fine.

California violets are cleaning up every
morning. The cool nights have bright-
ened up the color. Valley has quite a
fair demand when good. Smilax, aspara-
gus and other greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

At time of writing this letter the
members of the executive committee v?ere
busy transforming the large Armory hall
into a flower garden, so as to have every-
thing in readiness for the opening Tues-
day night, November 3.

Fred Ostertag has taken a position
with J. W. Dunford, as manager of his
Gallagher Flower Shop, on Page avenue.

Miss Theresa Badaraceo and the Mul-
lanphy Floral Co. exhibited their delivery
wagons at the horse show last week. Both
made good impressions.

Fred Foster, of the Foster Floral Co.,
exhibited his horse, Red Feather, at the
horse show and took second prize.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, called
last week. He will leave on the night
of November 5 for Chicago for the open-'
ing of the national flower show No-' '
vember 6. He is one of the judges on
plants.

August Schuerman, of the Schuerman
Flctral Co., furnished the decorations at
the opening of the new Coliseum. Horse

show colors prevailed, green and white.

Henry Ostertag, whose place is near
the new Coliseum, reports that trade in
cut mums and violets for horse show
week was large. A great many flowers
of all kinds were used daily for this oc-
casion.

C. A. Kuehn is handling a fine lot of
roses this season. Among them is extra
good quality of Potter Palmer from Am-
mann 's.

Baer's and Peterson's carnations are
coming in fine.

Henry Kphrs, who is managing the cut
flower department for Grimm & Gorley,
reports that the firm was busy last week
with large designs for funerals.

L, N. Van Hook, of Ferguson, Mo.,
will again have a large cut of extra fine
quality of violets and carnations this
year.

Hugo Gross and the Ahners, at Kirk-
wood, have finished their new additions
and are sending in some extra good vio-
lets and carnations.

The Missouri Botanical Garden will
open its frermuiA show in the big tent
at the garden a^rwek after the Horticul-
tural Society show.

Hans Jensen, foreman for A. Jablon-
sky, has left Mr. Jablonsky's employ.

Miss Clara Holtzmann and Otto
Bruening, manager at Berning's, were

married .October 28, at the home of the
bride's parents. The happy couple are
being congratulated on all sides.

The Florists' BowUng Club had quite
"a large attendance Monday night, Oc-
tober 26, there being twenty present, and

Debutante Bunches

You will want to know what you can get in a hurry for the coming-out
tea. Something choice, quite a variety, for sometimes you will have
many bunches for one occasion. Fancy Sinele Violets are now very
fine. Double Violets can be had in the deep blue, Marie Louise,
and the soft blue, Lady Campbell. The delicate pink and white of
Killarney and the softer pink of My Maryland are favored in roses.
Bridesmaid is also fine and the variety hues of Mrs. Jardine will
lend variety. Lily of the Valley is superb now. Among orchids
Cattleyas are plentiful and reasonable in price. This is also true of
Oncidium Sprays. For finishing off, Adiantum in several varieties
and the crested forms of the Boston Fern are effective.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Ritins Eastern Market

Jack Frost, Hallowe'en, and All
Saints' day combined to improve the
tone of the cut flower market. Last
Saturday, October 31, was generally rec-
ognized as the best day the market has
seen in four months. Outdoor flowers
are over, and the cooler weather has cut
down the rose crops considerably. Chrys-
anthemums and carnations continue ex-
tremely plentiful. The first named are
in demand, but carnations are not, the
white varieties being almost impossible
to sell at any price. Buyers of white
flowers get so much more for their money
with chrysanthemums that they pass the
divine flower whenever the autumn queen
is obtainable, and of course it is obtain-
able everywhere now. November 2 saw
smaller receipts in the wholesale mar-
ket than any Monday for a long time
past. November 3 being election day,
business fell off, but conditions would
seem to warrant the belief that shipping
as well as local demand is bound to stead-
ily increase from now on until the holi-
days.

The list of white chrysanthemums has
been strengthened more than that of
any other color, Alice Byron, Angele
Laurent, White Eaton, Mrs. Hurley and
Lynnwood Hall being the principal vari-
eties. In pink, Maud Dean and Minnie
Bailey have reinforced Dr. Enguehard.
Yellow, which is perhaps a shade less
plentiful, is mainly supported by Yellow
Eaton, in addition to Col. Appleton and
Major Bonnaffon, named last week.
Bronze is represented by Mrs. Broom-
head and Brutus. Daisy chrysanthe-
mums in orange and salmon have made
their appearance. Indoor pompons are
more plentiful and have entirely replaced
the outdoor-grown stock.

The rose market is less overstocked,
Beauties having shortened appreciably.
Richmond is too plentiful. Choice blooms
of the other varieties are in fair but
not active demand. A few Souvenir de
Pierre Netting are seen.

Carnations are perhaps three times as

plentiful as they were a fortnight ago.
The quality is improved, but they are not
in special demand.

The single violets are becoming finer.
Hudson river doubles have made their ap-
pearance in quantity, sharing the mar-
ket with Lady Campbell. Cattleyas have
shortened and the price has advanced.
Gardenias continue scarce. Valley has
been selling poorly. Greens have been
in fair demand. On some days the de-
mand has been brisk. The general tone
is better, though prices have not, as a
rule, advanced. Snapdragon has made
its appearance in limited quantities.
For quotations see price list.

A Chain of Stores.

The opening of three stores under one
management on Market street has sug-
gested the possibility of a chain of stores
run strictly on a cash basis, such as we
have in other lines of business. It is
a matter of history that the proprietor of
the Acme Tea Stores, who was limited
to $100 credit some fifteen years ago,
is now a millionaire, with a chain of
many stores scattered over the city. The
Acme Tea Stores purchase the best grade
of tea and other groceries, purchase
them in quantity, and sell them for cash
only, on a small margin of profit. Their
transactions in the aggregate are far
larger than those of any leading retail
grocer. Their success has been almost
phenomenal. Whether this is possible in
the fiower business remains to be seen,
but the first move, mj^e by Waxman &
Kipnis, will be watcUed with great in-
terest.

An Announcement.

Announcement was made November 2
that the firm of W. E. McKissick &
Bros, has been formed to carry on the
wholesale florists' business at 1619 and
1621 Sansom Street. The firm is fdrmed
of W. E., A. P. and H. E, McKis-
sick. It hks been known for some time
in wholesale circles that W. E. McKis-
sick, who has built up such a splendid
local and shipping business, felt that the
time had come when the care and re-
sponsibility of the enterprise were more

this weight the present firm has been

Recent Importations.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received
some novelties of especial interest late-
ly. One idea especially adapted for
Thanksgiving is the peacock basket. A
life size bird of true peacock green is
standing on a globe, the basket part
being formed of the peacock's body.
Similar to this, and a little more Thanks-

giving in idea, is the noble turkey perch-
ed on a pumpkin. A really beautiful
set of ferneries and vases is shown in
the Vienna ware, best described as a
choice china of varied hue. Silk fiber
ribbon of rainbow hues is a pleasing
novelty. The dwarfs or manikins, sug-
gestive of Rip Van Winkle, are especial-
ly designed for original window effects.

Vartoia Notes.

The November meeting of the Florists'
Club was held on election day, the new

officers of the club assuming their du-
ties. Routine business was transacted.
The Moore-Livingston Co. exhibited its
plant stand.

Thomas H. Best, manager of the Belle-
vue-Stratford flower store of J. J. Hab-
ermehl's Sons, has resigned his position
and returned to Chicago.

The Robert Craig Co. and the Henry
A. Dreer Co. will be exhibitors at the
national flower show to open in Chicago
November 6.

The Floral Exchange is sending choice
Maid and Gate to Eugene Bernheimer.

Walter P. Stokes reports an extraor-
dinary demand for all varieties of Dutch
bulbs, the supply being nedrly exhausted.

The importations of azaleas are un-
usually fine this season. In some cases
extraordinary value has been given by
the Belgian growers, who appear to have
an overstock of the larger sizes.

Israel Rosnosky has returned from a
successful business trip in the west. He
expects to represent the Henry F.
Michell Co. at Chicago this week.

Henry I. Faust, of Merion, is sending
showy bunches of daisy chrysanthemums,
salmon and yellow, to Lilley & Upton.

Robert Kift is doing yeoman service
toward the city beautiful. The street in
the rear of his shop was adorned by
handsome boxes filled with boxwood, re-
tinosporas, junipers, hemlock, and other
evergreens, ready for delivery on an or-

sort. The only menace after Tuesday
will be the extraordinary shipments of
mums. Of these there is apparently no
end, and prices are cut in two in com-
parison with other years. They have
completely demoralized the market.
Much of the unsatisfactory condition of
things may be attributed to the heat.
Those who have devoted their houses to
the best varieties only are reaping a
fair reward. The second and lower
grades cannot demand even the bare cost
of their production.

There was considerable waste in car-
nations last week. This cannot continue
with the perfect stock now arriving.
Valley is abundant. Some mignonette
is coming in, also callas and snapdragons,
but they look lonesottie yet. Cosmos still,

Sweet peas begin to demand notice again

anek is sending some of his new kinds
to J. K. Allen, as usual. Smilax is im-
proving and abundant.

A good many wholesalers are handling

chrysanthemum plants, but there is not a

VEGETABLE FORCERS ORGANIZE

Initial Meetinc; at Cleveland.

Proprietors of vegetable greenhouses
from several states met at Cleveland, O.,
October 30 and 31 and formed the Green-
house Vegetable Growers' Association oi
America, with a membership of sixty-
five.

The mcerting was a result of a sugges-
tion by S. B. Chester, of Cleveland. E.
A. Dunbar, of Ashtabula, sales manager
of the Ashtabula Lettuce Growers' As-
Bociation, took the matter up and a gen-
.eral call was issued for the meeting.

History of the Movement.

Mr. Dunbar was the prime mover in
the Ashtabula Lettuce Growers' Associa-
tion, the first organization of the sort in
the United States. An experience of ten
years in successfully managing the affairs
of his organization has peculiarly fitted
.him as a pioneer in national association
work.

The Ashtabula Lettuce Growers' As-
sociation has done much to improve the
output of the greenhouses in that city.
Some growers formerly sent out light-
weight baskets and some offered inferior
goods, but the association has enforced a
full-weight package and a member does
not dare put the stamp on' inferior goods
for fear of confiscation. The result has
been a fair demand for association goods
when outsiders could not market their
product and top prices when the demand
is good. Pittsburg commission men say
that the AsKlabula Lettuce Growers' As-
sociation is by far the most successful of
anything of the sort that has come with-
in their observation.

The Business Sessions.

Mr. Dunbar presided as temporary
chairman and was unanimously elected
president. His firm, that of Dunbar &
Hopkins, is the oldest of a group of suc-
cesful modern vegetable forcing houses at
Ashtabula, having been established about
fifteen years.

The object of this new organization is
purely educational.

Papers were read by Frank Luce, of
Ashtabula, O.; B. H. Thome and W. J.
Green, of Wooster, O. ; C. W. Waid, New
CarUsie, O.; L. C. Corbett, of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and W. F.
Massey, of Salisbury, Md., most of whom
have a wide reputation as experts on
vegetable forcing.

Life memberships are $15, annual
memberships $3 for the first year and $2
each year thereafter.

Soilj^terilization, the selection and im-
prot'fefiiJ*t of seed and. the various meth-
ods of bettering known varieties of |>ot
house vegetables were quite exhaustively
discussed.

Later it is expected that the question

}^ goods; more favorable accoii»moda-
tions from transportation companies and

VARIETIES OF LETTUCE,

[A paper by L. C. Corbett, of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C,
read at the meeting of greenhouse vegetable
growers In Cleveland, October 31, 1908.]

The lettuce work of the Department

of Agriculture may be discussed under

three distinct topics: First, "Varietal

Studies," which were conducted over a

period of several years and summarized

in a publication from the Bureau of

Plant Industry in Bulletin No. 69; sec-
ond, under the subject of "Breeding
Work," which is now under way; and,
third, "The Influence of Fertilizers,"
work which is alsQ still uiidet way. .

In lettuce, as with most other garden
crops, we find too many sorts, or at least
too many varietal names. In our lettuce
studies, conducted by Mr. Tracy, it was
necessary to handle something over 300
so-called varieties which were offered by
the American trade, in order to determine
the types and sorts actually in existence.
Our studies revealed that these trade
names were used to apply to about 100
distinct sorts, which could be classed
under three types; namely, Cos; leaf,
cutting or bunch; and head lettuces. In
such a list as this, one would naturally
expect to find everything necessary to
meet the requirements of frame, forcing-
house and field cultivation, and I believe
that if we were t6 make careful investi-
gations we would, in this great array of
varieties, find sorts which would be espe-
cially adapted to the needs of each of
the three lines of commercial cultivation
above spoken of.

Keeping Varieties Pure.

It would seem, therefore, that there is
little opportunity for developing new
sorts and little need for such effort. In
lettuce, as with- most of our garden
plants, it is not so much a matter of
new sorts at the present time as it is
to keep the strains which are of decided
commercial value pure and true to type.
This work in the case of lettuce, how-
ever, is much more simple and easy than
with many other garden plants. In the
case of lettuce the small size of the
flowers, their peculiar, method of devel-

opment, and the short time the stigmas
are exposed render it quite certain that
this plant is, in general, close fertilized^
Insects play little or no part in th^
pollination of the plants, and, therefore,
cause very little difSculty from natural
hybridization. In other words, it is likely
that it would be safe to grow different
varieties of lettuce for seed purposes -im
the same general locality, and perhaps in
the same field, without danger of detri-
mental crossing. For the sa^e of safety,
however, as we are not quite positive on
this point, it will be better to confine
different sorts to somewhat restricted
areas, so that the danger of hybridiza-
tion and crossing will be entirely over-
come.

When once crossed, however, lettuce is
a plant which retains its admixture very
firmly, and is liable to cry back or revert
to either of its ancestral parents aftelr
very careful selection has been carried
on for many generations. The question,
then, of the breeding of lettuce true to
type is an important one and should be
carefully guarded by seed growers.

The extensive variety trials which have
been conducted by the Department have
been for the purpose of straightening out
the nomenclature of the group rather
than determining the fitness of a variety
for any particular purpose. As our trials
have been chiefly conducted in the open,
it stands to reason that it would be
impossible to determine from such trials
the fitness of different sorts for green-
house purposes or for frame cultivation.

Abchias ' Seed Stobe, Sedalia, Mo., re-
ports an excellent trade on fail bulbs,
even with geraniums not injured by frost
as late as November 1.

There still is plenty of cold storage
valley, with the new crops due in a few
days, so it looks like being pretty near
a scramble to clean up.

It looks as though, instead of asking
as much as conditions will warrant, most
of the seed catalogues for 1909 will hold
prices down on the scarce items.

Now that the wholesale price lists are
out, the work on the general seed lists
can progress. A good many of them are
well along, only waiting for confirmation
of prices, and will be out early.

The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus,
was the only seed house represented at
the meeting of vegetable forcers for or-
ganization, at Cleveland October 30 and
31, an account of which is printed on
another page.

The early wholesale lists do not show
as great increases in prices on some of
the scarce items as conditions would
appear to make possible, but the quanti-
ties which can be obtained at the prices
quoted will doubtless be found to depend
largely on who the buyer is, or on the
rest of the order.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. sent out their

VARIETIES OF LETTUCE,

(Continued From Page 33.)
ticular types of lettuce have largely de-
termined the forms which have found
their way into the verious branches of
the lettuce industry. Practically all of
our eastern markets require a head let-
tuce. As a result, greenhouse operators
east of Pittsburg nearly all grow head-
ing types. Since the field and frame
lettuce of the south, as well as that at
the north, all reach the same markets,
head lettuce is the prevailing type in
both of these industries. Many of the
cities of the central portion of the United
States accept the cutting or leaf type
of lettuce, which is well represented by
the Grand Rapids Forcing. This type
of lettuce, to my mind, is-V4pite as de-
sirable as the head Iettu(!ej* and can be
much more economically produced, either
in the frame or in the greenhouse, than
the beading sorts.

Crosses With Grand Rapids.

In the lettuce breeding work, which
has been conducted by Mr. Oliver, under
the direction of Dr. GaUdway, thirty or
forty distinct sorts of lettuce have been
crossed and many interesting forms ob-
tained. A single cross, however, has
been made the basis of practically all
of the selection work which is now in
progress; namely. Grand Bapids, or
Golden Queen, with its reciprocal cross.
One of the interesting features of this
work is that in the first generation, while
the lettuce is clearly a cross between the
two types, it quite closely resembles one
or the other of the parents; the type
in the generation is usually very con-
stant; the plants are uniform in char-
acter, and with decidedly increased vege-
tative vigor. The marked feature of
cross-bred or hybrid plants is their rapid
^owth.

In the - second generation, hybrid or

r

Lycoris Squamigera

or Amaryllis Hallii.
A perfectly Hardy Amaryllis^ producing beautiful pink flowers.

DCSCRIPTION:— Lycoris Squamigera produces in early Bprlni; attractive green
foliage which grows until JuJy, when it ripens off and diBaopears, and one not familiar with
its habits would think the bulb bad died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower
stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel of large and
beautiful lily-shaped flowers, 3 to 4 inches across and from 8 to 12 in number, of a delicate
lilac-pink, shaded with clear blue. •

COLTURB;— As thebulb is perfectly hardy without any protection. It can be planted
either in the fall or spring, but we consider fall the best time, as the bulbs will have splendid
chance to get established before flowering time. Cover the crown about 4 inches.

Very nseful for the hardy border or among shrubbery.

cross-bred plants break up into all sorts
and kinds. Second generation seedlings
of the cross above noted have produced
as many as twenty-eight distinct types.
There are usually two predominating
forms, but with all possible gradations
between them.

Two New Types.

At the present time Mr. Oliver is
working with three or four distinct selec-
tions of this cross, representing two
general types — one a very rapid growing,
early heading form, producing heads
which are compact and long standing;
another form of the same cross, which
is a cutting lettuce, closely resembling
the Grand Bapids Forcing, but with a
more compact and dense habit. These,
perhaps, represent the two extremes from
this cross. Both of these lettuces are
exceedingly promising. It may be said
that the heading form, which is now in
its sixth generation, is the earliest of the
large head types of forcing lettuce. The
cutting type is also considerably earlier
than either of its parents.

Our work with fertilizers upon lettuce
has not progressed far enough to give
us decided results; at least, not suffi-
ciently decided so that we can say posi-
tively that a certain kind of fertilizer is
better suited to lettuce on the greenhouse
bench than another. The work is now
in its second year, and quite marked re-
sults are observable in the young plants
now upon the benches, but at this stage
of growth it is impossible to predict what
may be the final outcome.

have already been mentioned, which have
direct bearing upon the commercial as-
pects of lettuce forcing, we are using
lettuce as an interpreter in a series of
experiments which we are conducting in
our forcing houses to determine the ef-
fect of modified heat, light and moisture
upon the . growth of plants in green-
houses. In other words, we are endeavor-
ing to find out the relative importance
of various factors which enter into the
make-up of the climate of a forcing house
during the growing season. This work,
will ultimately be extended tb an investi-
gation of the relative eflSciency of differ-
ent types of heating for large green-
houses, as well as the economy of differ-
ent methods of installing pipes. In this
investigation we hope to determine the
relative efficiency, from the standpoint
of fuel economy, of different types
of installation, and at the same time to
conduct studies which will determine the
relative merits of the different forms
of modern greenhouse construction. It
will be impossible to carry on these in-
vestigations entirely at the Department,
but we hope, through cooperation with
Commercial growers who have different
types of houses and different installa-
tions of heating apparatus, to carry on
efficiency tests so as to find out the truth
in regard to these various problems
which play such an important part in
the economical production of forcing-
house products.

Experiments With Other Plants.

The studies of forcing-house problems,
however, are not confined to the. use of
lettuce or to greenhouse physics investi-
gations, but include studies of efficiency
of various methods of propagation, par-
ticularly with roses and carnations; fer-
tilizer studies with carnations, and breed*
ing work with tomatoes, both under glass
and in the open, to determine types
which are best adapted for forcing pur-
poses, as well as those best adapted for
canning to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Pure Food Act in
regard to the use of coloring matters in
canned products. To this end several
standard varieties of tomatoes were
planted. Those which promised to give
a canned product which would have the
desired color without the use of dyes
were selected. Several hundred cans are
now in store, but examinations have not
yet been made, bo we cannot give you the
results of these tests. However, the re-
sults of this year 's work will be available
before planting season the coming
spring.

haustiye studies which have heretofore
been made to determine the influence of
artificial lights upon the development
of various greenhouse crops. While con-
nected with the Cornell University Ex-
periment Station it was my privilege to
assist Professor Bailey in work which
was conducted to determine the effect
■of the are electric lamp upon the growth
of lettuce and various other plants.
Later I conducted a series of experi-
ments, extending over four or five years,
to determine the influence of the incan-
descent gas light upon the growth of
lettuce, which was reported in West
Virginia Bulletin 62. This work was
followed by a two years' test of the ef-
fect of colored incandescent lights upon
the growth of lettuce.

The tomato studies conducted at the
West Virginia Station, and reported in
Bulletin 49, covered a test of the relative
value of seedling and cutting plants for
forcing purposes.

The Scientific and the G>tnmercial.

Prom the character of the investiga-
tions which I have mentioned it is evi-
•dent that a part have purely scientific
value, while another part have a direct
commercial bearing. I appreciate that
it is the commercial side in which you
are interested, but while the purely
scientific investigations seem to be of Ht-
tl© value, yet they often point out signi-
ficant truths which bear an important
relation to the commercial phase of the
<luestion. The work which we now have
under way is all purely commercial in
its main bearing, and with the organiza-
tion of your forces it will be possible,
through cooperation with you, to more
directly cater to your wants, which we
hope you will make known to us upon all
occasions. We cannot promise to give

Best Results With Less Ice

The condition of your stock does not depend upon the amount of ice
you use. It depends upon the cooling you get from the ice you use, and
this depends upon the patented system of refrigeration which you find
in the McCray Refrigerator. The proper circulation of pure, iresh air
keeps perishable stock fragrant, and in perfect, strong condition. At
the same time it uses very little ice.

will give an air of elegance to your store. It will save ice for you daily.
It will keep your stock right. It will help sell your stock because it will
be kept in such perfect condition. Your refrigeration troubles will
be over when you buy a McCray.

McCray Refrigerators are lined with white enamel, tile, opal glass,
or with marble or mirrors as you prefer, and are made in a wide range of
regular sizes for immediate shipment, or can be built to order for
any requirement.

GENERAL BUSINESS.

The E. G. Dun & Co. commercial
agency sums up the general business sit-
uation for November 1 as follows:

"More seasonable weather gives the
necessary stimulus to an adequate distri-
bution of necessaries, and there is larger
buying in the leading retail lines. Food

{)roducts, apparel and footwear move f ree-
y, while recovery appears in furniture,
carpets, jewelry and art wares. Buyers
attend the wholesale merchandise cen-
ters in numbers comparing favorably with
this time last year, mail orders come for-
ward steadily from the western territory
and dealings advance in spring goods.

"A sharp gain is seen in demand for
Christmas novelties, this business having
an encouraging outlook, in contrast with
a year ago. Dry goods trades report
scarcity of some materials now urgently
called for to replenish stocks, and much
of the personal buying reflects a disposi-
tioii to secure f uUer needs for the winter.

* ' Shipments reach a good aggregate in
woolens, linens, knit goods, clothing, and
house furnishings, while groceries, canned
and wet goods, and smokers' supplies
bulk better than at this time last year,
when these latter lines were severely
checked. Eeports from the agricultural
sections continue to be reassuring for fu-
ture trade, corn husking well and win-
ter wheat showing good growth. Crop
marketings thus far have been exception-
ally heavy at prices averaging a higher
level.

"Country bank deposits exceed all
previous records, and less currency is
withdrawn from <the money centers, indi-
cating increased purchasing power which
must soon mfluence manufactures. Mer-
cantile collections show slowness on city
bills, but country settlements mainly run
prompt. ' '

Waltham, Mass.— When James Sil-
man insisted that he must first call up a
bank 'and ascertain its worth before ac-
cepting a check for $20 which was given
him by a strange woman in payment of
a bill for $15, the woman said he might
send the change to a Cambridge address
and left hastily. The check was worth-
less, and when the police, at Mr. Stil-
man's complaint, attempted to find the
woman, they learned that there was no
such address as she gave.

PACIFIC COAST.

THE SAN RAFAEL SHOW.

The first of the fall exhibitions in
that section of California was that of
the Marin County Horticultural Society,
at San Bafael, October 24. This was by
far the largest and most successful affair
ever given by this society, and the spe-
cimens shown have never been equalled
in Marin county.

The largest and finest single display
in the hall was that of Jas. Niven, gar-
dener to H. E. Bothin, of Boss. His
showing was most artistically arranged
and composed of the finest begonias and
chrysanthemums ever seen here. The
former were from bulbs imported from
Blackmore & Langdon, Bath, England,
and many of the blooms reached eight
inches in diameter. For these Mr. Niven
received the society's special award, as
well as first prize for the best seedling
chrysanthemums and several first prizes
;for chrysanthemums in pots.

The largest collection of roses shown
was that of E. Gill, of West Berkeley,
who exhibited 100 late blooming sorts.
H. Schluter, of the Laurel Grove Nurs-
ery, San Bafael, had a large showing of
decorative plants in pots.

J. A. Carbone, of Berkeley, received
first prize on carnations and also on
outdoor roses.

A. W. Foster received first prize for
six dahlia blooms, while the silver cup
for the largest collection of dahUas was
awarded to Geo. A. Pope.

P. Uhlmann, gardener to M. H.
De Young, received several fitst prizes
for mums and dahlias, and B. Lohrmann,
gardener to A. W. Foster, made several
splendid exhibits and captured several
first prizes.

The judges for the show were John
McLaren, of Golden Gate park, San
Francisco; S. Clack, of Mayfield, and T.
Wood, of San Mateo.

This was considered a very successful
show and the society will give a much
larger spring exhibition at the same place
next year. G.

SAN FRANOSGO.

The Market

Business is unusually quiet, the general
opinion being that it is owing to the
presidential election. Flowers of all
kinds are plentiful, owing to the light
demand and the favorable weather.
Carnations are being brought into town
in large quantities and sold at low prices.
Boses are in much the same condition,
although the quality throughout is not
as good as with the carnations. Violets
are the best selling article the retailer
has at this time and the price the stores
pay is 75 cents per dozen bunches.
Sweet peas are completely out of season.
A few early Paper White narcissi are
shown and valley is practically a glut.
Smilax is now of sufficient length to be
of some value to the decorator and

asparagus is scarcer than it has been at
any time this season. Other kinds of
hardy outdoor stock are of little value,
owing to the lateness of the season.

Mums are now at their best and are
the most popular flowers by long odds.
They are selling much better than any
other kinds of stock and the public is
using them almost exclusively for any
and all occasions. The prices are about
equal to those of one year ago.

Various Notes.

F. E. Olmstead has been appointed
deputy commissioner of forestry, with
headquarters in San Francisco.

Thos. Bedmayne, the well known land-
scape gardener, has partially recovered
from his severe attack of rheumatism.

Thos. Breen, for many years with P.
J. Meyer, of Burlingame, has taker,
charge of the grounds of Wm. Babcock,
at San Bafael.

H. E. Bothin, of Boss Station, will
shortly commence the erection of a large
rose house.

Geo. Walters, the veteran gardener of
Marin county, who has been in delicate
health for quite a time, is reported to be
on the mend.

The estate of Wm. J. Landers, late
president of the California Nursery Co.,
at Niles, has been appraised at $247,000.

WASHINGTON.

The Market

While we have had a decided change
in the weather, the killing frosts, which
would be so welcome, have not material-
ized as yet. Business is about on a
par with last week ; plenty of good stock,
with carnations coming much better.
There is a glut of mums. Hallowe'en
called for the usual window displays,
pumpkins of every size. Jack-o'-lantern
faces filled with flowers, etc. Shaffer's
window had a background of corn stalks,
with a witch with a pumpkin head, and
several comic faced pumpkins and chry
santhemums. Gude's had a pumpkin
made of yellow mums, with a face worked
with pompon mums.

train, for Alexandria, Va., to attend the
meeting at Mr. Grillbortzer 's place. Mr.
Dolphin, J. Talbot, E. J. Lacey, M.
Marche and L. L. Kennely were elected
to membership. The committee on
flower show reported progress. Mr.
Mayberry was made chairman of the re-
ception committee and Mr. Bobinson of
the awards committee.

Mr. Hammer called the attention of
the club to the new building regulations
and wanted to take the matter up before
it became a law, as it will cause con-
siderable trouble to the greenhouse men
inside the city limits. Quite a discussion
followed on the trouble experienced by
outside men getting permits to do plant-
ing. The limit was reached when Hon-
est John Eobinson stated that at present
he was planting some trees on a plumber's
permit.

After a neat address by Mr. Grill-
bortzer, he invited the members to ad-
journ to his new packing room and
potting shed, to participate in an oyster
roast. The rooms were tastefully dJecor-
ated with flags and foliage and the table?

Under the packing room is the concrete
storage room, which was well filled with
a fine lot of mums and roses worth going
to see. A dozen cooks, under the super-
vision of Mr. Grillbortzer, were kept busy
frying and toasting oysters. Screened
by a bank of palms and ferns, an orches-
tra furnished music throughout the even-
ing. After being served at the table, the
club lined up in the potting shed, where
steamed oysters were served. After the
musical program all sang "For He Is a
Jolly Good Fellow." And amid good
wishes, a start was made through that
typical southern town to the station,
where the special train was waiting.

President Kramer has sent a personal
letter to each member to boom the flower
show. Friday, November 13, is to be

PRUNING SHRUBS.

A knowledge of shrubs, of such an ex-
tent that at least their manner of flow-
ering is known, should be acquired by
everyone intrusted with the work of
pruning. It is painful to witness the
uniformly clipped appearance of some
shrubberies, when it is realized what
wealth of bloom had been sacrificed in
the clipping process.

All that is required to prune properly
is sufficient intelligence and observation
to discern what should be cut away and
what should not. The flowering wood,
as a rule, should not be cut out. Close
observation of the character of the
plants, during the several stages of their
development, will be amply sufficient to
educate any man of ordinary intelli-
gence so that he can treat them as they
should be treated. B.

VARIETIES OF LILACS.

We have a circle of ground twenty
feet in diameter, which we desire to
plant to the finest lilacs, and have it in
mound shape. I would like a full and
complete description of about a dozen
of the finest varieties. Who makes a
specialty of growing lilacs? I note the
article on lilacs in the issue of October
15, but the writer does not give their
habits of growth or hardiness. If I were
posted on their different habits of
growth, etc., I could select the varieties.
The location is Nebraska.

G. H. P.

For such a bed as described, I think
it would be more satisfactory to plant
varieties of Syringa vulgaris entirely.
The Persian and Chinese lilacs have a
totally different habit of growth, form-
ing wide, round and lower heads. The
tree lilacs, S. Pekinensis and S. Japon-
ica, are too robust. S. villosa is also
different in foliage and habit from the
varieties of S. vulgaris.

At the York Experimental Station,
York, Neb., over 100 varieties of lilacs
have proved perfectly hardy, including
many of the best forms of S. vulgaris,
quite a few being Lemoine's newest
hybrids. Of course, if a succession of
bloom is wanted, S. Persica, S. Kotho-
magensis rubra, S. villosa and S. Josiksea
can be planted, but personally I would
prefer a bed restricted to varieties of
S. vulgaris.

I would recommend the following

New Carnations - 1908 - 09

Mrs. Chas. Knopf

A grand variety; comen Into bloom early and remains steady the balance of the season.
One of the best varieties that haB ever been introduced, and bound to surpasis the grand
old variety. Enchantress, from which it is a seedling. Description:— The tlowpr is 4H
inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal, with stiffness that gives it a
grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stiffer. it keeps nnd ships much better than the above
variety. The calyx is very stiff and large, giving the flower a chance to develop freely, and does not burst as much as Enchantress.
The habft is ideal, closely resembles Enrbantress, but produces more flowers. Can b? grown either from the field or inside all summer.
Likes a temperature of 50 to 62. The stem is 2t inches and over, and holds the flo;sy«r up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives one
good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet sent out and is bound to surpass tbe old variety. Enchantress.

Ruby

Beautiful scarlet crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. The fize of
the flower is 8 to 3*3 Inches, with a grand form, built up well in the center, having the most substanee of any flower we
know of. One of the best shippers and keepers. The calyx is short, but of tough texture and well expanded, givicg the
flower freedom to expand. The habit is ideal: easy to handle: does well from field or grown inside all summer. Temperature. 50 to 52.
Very free producer and coc tinning throughout the season The stem is 21 to 80 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up ,
the flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure tp give satisfaction and find a place among the standards.

Tlie above variettes. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000; 25,0 at 1000 rate.
It don't cost you anything to send for a circular. A postal will bring you one. We Invite tbe trade to come and see the above
growing. Delivery begins with December.

La^vson-Knotaantre«fl, introduced by us last year, is giving the best satisfaction and the demand will be heavy this year. It is the Enchantress
with Lawson color and is as early and free as Enchantress. You will surely want this variety. Our stock is in grand shape and can take care
of all orders. $5.00 per 100. $50 00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate.

Barali Bill. The grand winter variety. One of the best white sent out. Gives one grand flowers from the start of cold weather and
continues throughout the entire season. Stock is limited. $5.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1000;. 250 at 1000 rate.

Mr. Z^ngen will devote his personal at-

Schumacher' & Kessler have opened
their new store at 113 West Thirtieth
street and are handling a fine assort-
ment of plants of all kinds from Long
Island and Jersey growers. Both men
are popular and Mr. Kessler is a brother
of the well- known bowler and whole-
saler, Phil Kessler, of the Cut Flower
Exchange building, on Twenty-sixth

Bonnet & Blake's new store on Liv-
ingston street, Brooklyn, is just what
the firm has long needed, for the whole-
sale business is growing in the city of
churches. The firm will also handle flo-
rists' supplies.

Langstadter, the florists' printer, on
Sixth avenue, reports no reduction in
florists' orders this fall, and says the
trade gives every evidence of progress.

J. J. Coan says he feels quite at home
already iti the wholesale department of
the trade, and is well pleased with the
development of the business thus far.
There seems to be room for everybody
in this fast growing city, and the es-
tablishing of new firms seems to create
no diminution in the bulk cf daily busi-
ness enjoyed by the veterans.

Every grower should take particular notice of this money-making variety
as exhibited at the National Flower Show, November 6-14, and then

Visit our greenhouses and see it growing.

We have eight houses of it this season and we know that every grower who
sees it growing will want some of it next season. You can see it's a money-
maker the minute you step in the houses. Good in winter and GRAND
in summer. To be disseminated in 1909: 2^-in. (all grafted), $30.00 per
100; $250.00 per 1000.

The Market.

Heavy frosts and snappy weather have
brought promise of winter, and as a re-
sult business has taken on its season's
rush. Stock is good, and more or less
plentiful. Eoses, lilies, carnations and
Beauties are offered in good quantities,
and violets are getting more plentiful
every day.

Various Notes.

The florists of the city who are plan-
ning on leaving for Chicago this week
have selected the evening of November
7 to go in a body. It is not yet decided
just how many will go, or who will go,
but a fair representation is assured.

Visitors: H. E. Philpott, Winnipeg.

M. E. M.

NEV ORLEANS.

In New Orleans, All Saints' day is
the harvest of the florists. This year it
has been good. Favorable weather, and
the day falling on Sunday, helped every-
one to dispose of his stock and with
many it was a clean sweep. Good car-
nations were looked for early in the day,
at any price. Prices were as usual, from
$3 up. Outdoor mums, with a glass cov-
ering at budding time, seem to give bet-
ter results than greenhouse culture and
it is the best way for our climate. J.
A. Faessel's were grown in this way and
certainly none better could be found in
town. Some beautiful flowers came also
from A. Alost and Herman Doescher.

Fulton, N. Y. — The new greenhouse

on Cayuga street, between Snyder's gro-
cery and Morrill Bros.' printing house,

ness, both as a gardener and as a florist.

The Market

What a difference a few days can make
in the flower business! It would seem
almost impossible that a week could make
such a difference. But I believe that the
sharp changes in this business, from good
to bad and from bad to good, are among
the things which make it so attractive to
those who are so fortunate as to be en-
gaged in it. While a week ago the busi-
ness was in a state of depression, last
week brought out a business that was
satisfactory in evwy respect. Prices,
while not at the highest point for this
season of the year, were satisfactory and
the grower has no kick coming on the re-
turns he is receiving. Perhaps All Saints '
day and All Souls' day had someththing
to do with it. But I believe that,
more than that, the influence of re-
turning prosperity is beginning to
make itself felt. Julius Baer says that
there is a decidedly better tone to
the retail market. The people buy with
an air of freedom that has been lacking
for the last year. They do not quibble
so over the price and are willing to pay
for a good article. It is certainly en-
couraging to hear such things, especially
when we are in a position to know that
the same report is being heard from all
quarters.

The demand for flowers last week was
good and there was enough supply to take
good care of it. ' However, there was
noted a decided shortening in the cut of
all varieties of flowers, with the excep-
tion of mums. The latter flower is com-
ing in all of its glory and it is selling in
a manner to make everyone's heart glad.
Carnations showed a decided falling off
in the cut, and at the same time a stif-
fening in the price to something within
reason. The same is true of roses, with
Beauties off crop and scarce. Violets are
beginning to be a factor in the market
and they are seUing out clean. As is
usually the case, the singles are pre-
ferred in this market. Lily of the. val-
ley is selling well and some fine stock
is seen.

The month of October, taken as a
whole, shows a good business, as good as
last year, if not better. I believe that
the general report will show it to have
been decidedly better than last year. This
is certainly encouraging.

Vaxioui Notes.

November 14 is the date for the next
meeting of the Florists' Society. Of
course the 1909 convention of the S. A.
F. is always uppermost in the mind of
the members, and each meeting brings
forth discussions which will be of great
benefit later, when the real work of the
committees begins.

George & Allan are sending some of
the finest valley they have ever grown
into the market now and it sells well.

Visitors during last week were : H. N.
Siebenthaler, Springfield, 0.; Mr. and
Mrs. Broxey, Dayton, O. ; Theo. Bock,
Hamilton, O., and E. J. Fancourt, Phil-
adelphia, Pa. C. J. Ohmer.

The Market

There lias been no marked change in
the conditions of either the market or
business. Some good mums are avail-
able, but they are not bringing fancy
prices. Considerable valley is being used
for weddings. Fine cosmos is coming in
from Mt. Clemens.

Various Notes.

Peter F. Beuss, who has engaged in
the gathering of fancy ferns, with head-
quarters at Johannesburg, Mich., has
been compelled to give up this busi-
ness. Forest fires burned over this whole
territory. In the green forests all the
underbrush, ferns, leaves, etc., are gone.
Mr. Beuss predicts a scarcity of ground
pine this winter, owing to the damage
done by fire. He is again in the employ
of B. Schroeter.

William Wray, better known as just
plain "William," of Sullivan's, is get-
ting along nicely. William received a
severe sprain of his back several weeks
ago while assisting in the unloading of
a case of palms.

Hudson's large store was tastefully
decorated by Breitmeyer last week. The
store has wide aisles and these were taken
advantage of for large groups of palms.
Southern smilax, autumn foliage and
yellow mums completed the decorations.

Something new, but which will meet
with favor with the florists, was sprung
on B. Sch?:oeter last week. One of his
well-to-do customers, who has just re-
turned from an automobile tour abroad,
has his limousine equipped with neat cut
glass vases, which screw into a bracket.
These vases filled with flowers add a
touch of homeness to the interior of
the auto which nothing else can equal.

Some fine carnations are being handled
by the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House.

Martin Reukauf, of Bayersdorf er 's,
was a recent visitor.

Harry Smillie, of the Rhinebeck Violet
Association, was in Detroit November 2.

There is a general increase in the vol-
ume of business as the colder days set
in.

Presque Isle peninsula is ablaze. The
underbrush is burning up fast. The
crew from the U. S. steamer Wolverine,
here in port for the winter, has been
called out to help fight the fire. It is
supposed that hunters caused the fire by
dropping matches in the dry grass. Con-
siderable damage has been done by the
fire.

Many mums were sold for Hallowe'en.
Orchids, valley and violets were also in
demand.

The Baur Floral Co. has an attractive

i^Prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas

We protect the trade. We employ no fakers, no drummers. No departttaent
ijtores handle our goods. We have great faith in Uncle Sam (the mail). He is
our partner.

Look at the photo! What a lively time at Aschmann's, the busy bee
unpacking his big importations of Azaleas, Palms, etc. We have it. Have
what? An immense stock of the choicest salable plants in season and everybody
who sees them will be astonished and say, "No use talking, you're a cracker-jack."
I am going to make things lively this fall. Five thousand Araucarias, twice as
many Ferns, Palms and Azaleas and many thousands of other salable stock
must go at panic prices. By Christmas all must be sold. Why ? We want the
room to force our extensive Easter stock.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NOTBHBER 5, 1908.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

While the supply last week was equiv-
alent to that of the week previous, the
demand was not so brisk. Especially
did the fancy mums, in all colors except
yellow, stack up considerably and some
report that, even at a much reduced
price, compared with last season, the^'
could not be moved. It was the inferior
grade that moved best. Roses are still
plentiful, with carnations equal to the
demand and all other stock in good sup-
ply. Even All Saints' day had no
marked effect on the local flower market.

Various Notes.

The establishment at North Mil-
waukee, formerly owned by Aug. Manke,
but which has been run as a partnership
business the Istst season, has now passed
into the hands of his sons, "William and
Fred Manke. There are six acres of
land, together with the greenhouses and
other outfit. As the boys have been on
the place from the start, they no doubt
will continue to be successful. The firm
will be known as Manke Bros.

Wm. Muehl, former manager of the
place now occupied by Lutey Bros., North
Milwaukee, has accepted a position with
Herman Staeps, Elm Grove, Wis.

Quite a delegation from this vicinity
will visit the national flower show at
Chicago. E. O.

Waltham, Mass. — A store was re-
cently opened at the comer of Moody
and Bobbins streets, by the Waltham
Floral Co., of which Carl Frederickson
is designated as proprietor, and R. L.
Goinsalvos as manager.

Mabyville, Mo. — Alfred Engelmann,
who was formerly a grower for Weiland
& Bisch, at Evanston, 111., has bought
the greenhouses and business of C. H.
HoUied and will do both a wholesale and
retail trade. There are two acres of
ground and 10,000 square feet of glass.
Mr. Engelmann expects to have a good
stock on hand by spring. He will devote
special attention to wholesale trade in
rpoted cuttings.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

(Continued from page 13.)

keep the foliage a good color and
strengthen the spikes.

Primula obconica also makes a desir-
able Christmas plant. Some florists ob-
ject to it on account of the rather
poisonous properties of the leaves, but
there is no more persistent flowering win-
ter plant. ^ The Buttercup primrose,
boomed a year or two ago, seems to have
all but vanished and but little is seen
of the Baby primrose, P.- Forbesii, but
the newer P. Kewensis is a decided ac-
quisition, Avorth increased attention from
all florists.

Marguerites.

There is no special call for marguerites
while the mum season lasts. The single
chrysanthemums discount them, with
their varied colors and longer stems. At
Christmas there is a good call for both
white and yellow marguerites and for
flowering thus early it is better to grow
the plants in pots, carried-over plants
being better for this purpose than young
stock. As many of the mums are now
out of the way, it is possible to give the
marguerites a better position. They do
well if allowed to root through the pots
into the old chrysanthemum compost,
flowering much better treated thus than
if planted out.

Succession batches will require potting
on and pinching, and nice spring plants
can still be had if cuttings are gotten
into the sand at once. Marguerites do
well under conditions which suit chrys-
anthemums.

Cxotons and Dracaenas.

Crotons and dracajnas will now stand
full sunshine and will be of a more bril-
liant coloring if any remaining shading
on the glass is removed. The weather
during the present fall has been so warm
that much fire heat has not been neces-
sary for them. Now, however, when chill
November's surly blasts are here, a
warm, genial temperature is a necessity,
it being better not to have the tempera-
ture below 60 degrees at night. One
good hosing on clear days should keep
the foliage clean.

As fire heat will now be steadily used,
any additional propagation of these and
allied fine foliaged plants can be carried
on. All will root easily and quickly if
the sand is constantly warm and moist.

Paper Whites and Romans.

There is no special advantage in hav-
ing Paper White narcissus in flower be-
fore Thanksgiving, unless there seems
likely to be a shortage of other flowers.
This bulb can be forced into bloom
quickly. It is better grown moderately
cool, as the flowers then have more sub-
stance.

Roman hyacinths, if given three weeks
in a night temperature of 58 to 60 de-
grees, will be in flower. Like the Paper
Whites, they are better if opened in a
lower temperature.

It is still rather early to start any of
the Trumpet majors. We do not like to
house any of these before December 1.
If well started at that time it is possible
to get a picking for Christmas.

Zonal Geraniums.

Keep geranium cuttings on the dry
side. It is well to look them over twice
a week and pick out any that have
damped off and also remove any decay-

ing leaves. A cool, dry, sunny house
is the ])laco for bedding geraniums.

Any, being grown for winter blooming
should now be allowed to produce flow-
er trusses. They will be seasonable from
Thanksgiving to Christmas, Bright col-
ored sorts, nicely grown, are salable at
the latter holiday. Although many of the
singles are beautiful, the average florist
prefers the doubles of the Bruant type,
on account of their flowers not shaking
so easily. Such sorts as E. H. Trego,
Rieard, Nutt, John Doyle, Peter Hen-
derson and General Grant are all good,
old stand-bys, while of the army of
singles Jacquerie, Mrs. E. Rawson, Paul
Crampel, Furnessia and Telegraph are
good. A dry, airy house held at 50 to
52 degrees at night suits the winter
geraniums.

Bulb Planting.

Now is the time to push ahead with
the bulb planting. Be sure to loosen the
soil up well, and nothing in the way of
fertilizer is better than well rotted cow
manure. Spent hotbed compost is also
good for the same purpose. If the land
is clayey, some sharp sand can advan-
tageously be added, but this is not neces-
sary otherwise. While a trowel is best
to use for big bulbed narcissi, like Sir
Watkin and Emperor, the majority of
the bulbs of tulips, hyacinths and nar-
cissi are more easily and quickly planted
with a dibble. Avoid tramping on th«
beds as much as possible. Lay boards
for your feet rather than trample over
the recently loosened earth. This is es-
pecially necessary when the ground is
moist.

Cypripedium Insigne.

Insigne remains the most popular of
all cypripediums. Its blooms last in
fresh condition for three months and the
grower of it, if a market for his flowers
does not exist one day, can hold it a
week or two in water and market it as
fresh as ever.

There is no doubt but that frame cul-
ture gives stockier and more free-flower-
ing plants than warmer culture. The
earliest plants are now starting to bloom,
but there is no rush to cut the flowers
needed, for these will be just as good
at Thanksgiving or Christmas as now. It
is doubtful if there is any other orchid
which pays more money per square foot
of bench space than this old cypripedium.
A moderate water supply is still needed,
for cypripediums should never be dried
off as cattleyas, lalias or dendrobiums
are.

Erica Melanthera.

Erica melanthera is unquestionably the
most valuable of the heaths, from a com-
mercial standpoint. The ease of propa-
gation and culture, and its free-flowering
habit, are sufficient to commend it to
all growers of pot plants. At Christmas
there is usually a good sale for this old
favorite. Plants to be well opened by
that time should now go into a cool
greenhouse, where no forcing will be at-
tempted, for the plants quickly resent it.

When in full flower the ericas last for
many weeks fresh. Nicely bloomed stock
in 6-inch or 8-inch pots are always a
desirable acquisition to the not very- long
list of Christmas plants. By holding
them in a cold pit they may be retarded
as late as Easter. Dry conditions at the
root speedily ruin any of the ericaceous
plants and a careful watch should bo
made to prevent this.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

November 5, 1908.

(ireenhoflse Heating.

James McCeea & Co., Chicago, man-
ufacturers of the Climax steam joint
clamp and other pipe repairs, have
brought suit for infringement against
the Simplex Engineering Co., of Phila-
delphia, who have recently placed a pipe
joint clamp on the market.

CAPACITY OF BOILER.

How many square feet of glass can be
heated by a steel tubular boiler which
is thirty-six inches in diameter and eleven
feet long, and contains sixty-two 2^4-
inch tubes, ten feet long? My house is
20x165 and eleven feet to the ridge, with
glass ends and eighteen inches of glass in
the sides. Will this boiler heat it, and
how much more? I am located in south-
eastern Massachusetts. ' A. M.

You do not state whether you intend
using the boiler for hot water or for
steam. In either case, however, the
boiler, properly set and with good fuel,
should be able to heat this house and
another of the same size. A house as
long as this can be more easily heated
by steam than by hot water, unless the
boiler is placed in the middle of the house
^nd the risers run both ways. With the
boiler at one end, steam will give best
service, but will require more attention
from the fireman than hot water.

L. C. C.

STOVE HEAT IN GREENHOUSES.

Please let me reply to A. K. B., who,
on page 68 of the Review of October
22, inquires in regard to heating a small
greenhouse with a stove. I have three
small houses, all separate, and heat each
one by a stove, and I have a neighbor
who has a similar plant and who heats
it that way also. We both grow vege-
table plants, with some lettuce early in
the spring to fill in, and find no diffi-
culty in maintaining a proper tempera-
ture. I have one house, 12x24, in which
I kept a varied collection of plants all
last winter, including geraniums, salvias,
cinerarias, etc., and after January 1 I
sowed seeds of double petunias and other
bedding plants and had splendid suc-
cess.

When T tell you that I have done this
same thing during a period of more than
thirty years, you may suppose that I am
qualified to state that it is not such a
task as one might suppose.

I can usually pick up a second-hand,
base-burning, reservoir stove at the stove
stores for about $6 or $8, which I make
do me for two or three years, sometimes
longer, and then throw it away as junk.
I take off the feet and set the stove on
the floor about five feet from the end
of the house. I run a horizontal pipe
back to within three or four feet of the
other end of the house and then elbow
up to my chimney, which is of galva-
nized iron, about twelve feet high. I re-
move one glass in the roof and put an
iron plate in its place, with the stove
pipe hole in it, and find that a suitable
arrangement. Of course I make this
chimney permanent by supporting it
from the floor. The pipe and chimney
are six inches in diameter. The hori-
zontal part requires, in this house, five
ordinary lengths of 6-inch stove pipe.
I put a bench over this pipe, which is in
the_ middle of the house, and see that
'tfie ^ipe has an upward slope to the

chimney. This stove will burn about two
ordinary hods of coal every twenty-four
hours, in ordinary winter weather.

I find that small ventilators in each
end of the house, close to the peak, are
far better than the usual arrangement
of a much larger sash on one side. I
can leave them longer than I dare leave
the one large sash.

Right around the stove the ground
soon gets dry, but that is easily wet.
And for a few feet on either side I
notice that the side benches dry quickly,
but one soon learns how to manage that.
In one corner, by the stove, I have a
barrel of water, which carries the tem-
perature of the house and is a conve-
nient arrangement, especially in winter
weather.

The mercury here in Pennsylvania
gets down pretty low during a few of
the winter days and the long nights.
To meet these emergencies I have a sys-
tem of cloth covers which I put on the
house, and when they are on I can go
to bed with no care of the house on my
mind. As to these covers, I make a light
frame of sound pine wood, nearly as
long as the sashbars and each one three
feet wide, and stretch heavy cotton duck
on them. With these, when the cold
snaps are around, I cover the en-
tire house. Sixteen of these cloth frames,
as I call them, will cover a 24-foot
house. When they are put on, the tem-
perature in the house runs up in a few-
minutes far past the danger point, and
they are a great success. For more
than twenty years I have used similar

he has ordinary gumption he will find
a way to heat it with a stove and can
grow geraniulH«-tth^he joy of his heart.
As to growing lettuce, my neighbor
sows his early lettuce, and cabbage seed
also, about February 1, and finishes his
lettuce in a house covered with ordinary
hotbed sash and heated with a small
stove set in the middle of his house. He
takes off about three crops. It is grown
and marketed in flats and helps quite a
little in keeping a man busy at that sea-
son of the year. It is not likely that he or
I will ever have any other way of heat-
ing our houses and we do not know,
practically, any other\y,ay. I should
add that he seldom keeps a fire all win-
ter and rarely starts one before Feb
ruary 1. F. P. Aveuy.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The Market.

Trade has been good the last two
weeks, with a good supply of stock com-
ing in. Mums take the lead and are
confing in heavily, but seem to clean up
nicely from day to day and there have
been no signs of a glut so far. There
have been some fine Appleton in the last
week or so, which have been as good as
a good many exhibition blooms. Alice
Byren, Pink and White Ivory, Marie
Liger, Dr. Enguehard, AdeUa and a few
Bonnaflfons are in now, and all are show-
ing up well.

Eoses and carnations are coming in
quite heavily now and move better than
was expected during the mum rush. While
prices are not fancy, they have been mov-
ing at a good average. The most of the
carnations are coming with good Stems
and the crop is getting heavier every
day now, Boses are fine and also plen-
tiful, outside of red, which is still
scarce. Killarney is moving finely and
seems to please the public in general.
Violets are more plentiful, but are not
up to the standard, as the stems are
rather short and flowers rather small.
Greens are still rather scarce here.

Various Notes.

At the meeting of the Florists' Club,
October 27, it was decided to have a
small mum show at the next meeting,
which will be held November 10. Each
member is going to bring a few good
ones, and when they are all together
there will probably be a good showing.
There will be an open meeting, with
music, singing, etc. The dance to be
given by the club November 18, in the
new K. P. hall, will no doubt be a suc-
cess and there will be a nice decoration
put up by the boys.

The Munk Floral Co. is cutting loads
of mums now, as well as roses and carna-
tions.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has been
cutting some extra fine Appleton mums,
about as fine as ever seen on this mar-
ket. They were of good size and had
nice, clean foliage to the very bottom of
the stems, and they have found ready
sale.

Mr. Florist, if you once gtt one of these cutters on your fingrer you will never
be without it for many times the price. Just the thing: for cuttinsr your carnations,
sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be bothered with a knife or follow
the old way of breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better

and save you money and time? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus ruin hundreds
of young shoots daily, simply because a knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If
you are not entirely satisfied with it you can return
it and h8"e your money refunded. These cutters
are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and
contain a removable blade.

State of Trade*

Taking it on the whole, last week's
business was not so bad. The week
started in somewhat discouragingly, but
brightened up about Thursday and con-
tinued so through Saturday. Funeral
work and orders for All Souls' day were
accountable for the increase, but the
present outlook for business is somewhat
discouraging. The election and politics
seem to have taken the place of flowers.

Business during last month, in gener-
al, was not very Swift, but stock through-
out the month was plentiful, with the
exception of one week, when business was
at its best and stock was scarce. Carna-
tions, with other stock, have been plenti-
ful and the quality the best. Brides,
Maids, Kaiserins, etc., could not be bet-
ter in size, foliage and color. Ameri-
can Beauties are also in fine shape and
sell as well as anything on the market, in
the way of roses. Longiflorums and cal-
las are holding their own, while chrys-
anthemums are as much a favorite this
season as ever. The prevailing condi-
tions of the weather during October have
been bright, with warm days and frosty
nights, but no rain.

Various Notes.

The Miami Floral Co. has a fine dis-
play of fancy chrysanthemums in the
greenhouse, for which there is a most
excellent demand. They are cutting some
fine blooms from one of their seedling
carnations, and they expect to have this
variety on exhibition at the national
flower show, in Chicago.

Mrs. Hendrichs reports a good busi-
ness for All Souls' day, and declares it
to have been better than last year.

Among the Dayton florists who have
already decided to be present at the na-
tional flower show, are Mr. and Mrs. G.
W. Bartholomew, H. M. Altic, Warren
G. Matthews, John Boehmer and Her-
man H. Ritter. B. A. B.

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry of how we liked your Shredded Cattle Manure, would
say that we took one car as a trial, then we gave you an order for two cars more and now we have
just bought of you three hundred tons. We gave your manure a good trial test as follows:

We put nine hundred pounds on a bench three hundred feet long by five and one-half feet wide,
as a mulch on Beauties, and on the next bench, of exactly the same size, planted also with Beauties,
we put two thousand pounds of rough cattle Manure. After three days the rough Manure had
become all washed out, nothing being left but straw and dirt, while your Shredded Manure lasted
ten to twelve days and is still doing work.

In making manure water it is fully three or four times as strong as the rough Manure. The
advantages of its even quality and the easy and unobjectionable way of handling the Manure, not a
pound being wasted, make It cheaper in our opinion than the rough Manure which we can get for
simply the cost of freight and loading. Respectfully, BASSETT & WASHBURN.

State of Trade.

'rakiii^i it (III Ilic wiiolc, last week's
business was not so bad. The week
started in somewiiat diseouragiugly, but
lirifihtened ti|i aljont Thursday and con-
tinued so tiirouyii Saturday. Funeral
work ami orders for All Souls' day were
accountable for the increase, but the
jiresent outlook for business is somewhat
discouraginir. The election and politics
seem to have taken the jtlace of flowers.

Business durinpj last month, in gener-
al, was not very swift, but stock through-
out the month was plentiful, with the
exception of one week, when business was
at its best and stock was scarce. Carna-
tions, with other stock, have been plenti-
ful and the quality the best. Brides,
Maids, Kaiserins, etc., could not be bet-
tor in size, foliage and color. Ameri-
can Beauties are also in fine shape and
sell as well as anything on the market, in
the way of roses. Longiflorums and cal-
las are holding their own, while chrys-
anthemums are as much a favorite this
season as ever. Tlie prevailing condi-
tions of the weather during October have
been bright, with warm days and frosty
nights, but no rain.

Various Notes.

The Miami Floral Co. has a fine dis-
play of fancy chrysanthemums in the
greenhouse, for which there is a most
excellent demand. They are cutting some
fine blooms from one of their seedling
carnations, and they exjject to have this
variety on exhibition at the national
flower' show, in Chicago.

Mrs. Ilendrichs reiiorts a good busi-
ness for All Souls' day, and declares it
to have been better than last year.

Among the Dayton florists who have
alreadv decided to be i)resent at the na-
tionarflower show, are Mr. and Mrs. G.

CLEVELAND.

The Market

, There has been a decided improvement
in the movement of all cut flowers, and
on Saturday there was a rush for stock
of all kinds. Eoses are still plentiful,
and no doubt wjU remain so until after
mums are gone. Carnations are moving
better and, with the present cool weather,
are sure to advance in price. Violets
are being received daily and are selling
better than heretofore. Some extra fine
lilies are seen in the market, but the call
is limited. Valley is the finest seen hero
in a long time and sold well last week.
Some good Appleton, Alice Byron and
Ivory are to be had.

Various Notes.

All the downtown stores had beautiful
window displays for Hallowe'en. Smith
& Fetters showed a harvest scene, the
background banked with shocks of wheat
and the foreground made up of decorated
pumpkins and baskets of fancy fruits,

A. Graham & Son had the back of
their window- of corn stalks, fancy vege%
tables and some curly cabbage trimmed
in novelties. It made an attractive dis-
play.

The J. M. Gasser Co. showed a "fine lot
of Appleton mums before a bank of corn
stalks. This fiirm has been sending in a
fine cut of roses from its greenhouses.

Mrs. Cliflf reports trade as good.
When calling there, the writer found all
hands in a rush, with quantities of fu-
neral work, which is the larger part of
the business here.

Westman & Getz were heavy buyers
last week. They report a great im-
provement in trade.

J. Vender Linden, of Ehinebeck, N. Y.,
was a visitor last week, calling on his
trade here.

Mr. Woodworth, of Geneva, was in
town on Monday and reports good pros-
pects for a heavy carnation crop.

Mr. "Williams, of Williams Bros.,
Lorain, was in town last week.

R. Walter had some large funeral
orders last week.

G. P. Braund & Co. are sending in a
good cut of mums at present. B.

St. John, N. B. — Joseph Bardsley
has the sympathy of other members of
the trade in the loss of his brother,
Robert, who died October 22.

HoLYOKE, Mass. — Joseph Beach, pro-
prietor of the greenhouses on the South
Hadley road, is making preparations to
build a handsome residence on the knoll
back of his present dwelling house. The
situation is one of the prettiest spots on
the South Hadley road.

Flower
Show

November 6 the great show
will open in the Coliseum
building at Chicago and if you
can possibly get away you
should by all means come and
attend this exhibition. You
will profit by doing so, as the
exhibits are coining from all
parts of the country and from
Europe and it will be the
biggest show of the kind ever
held. You can't afford to miss
this show.

We want to meet all of our cus-
tomers and friends at the show
and our Mr. N. J. Rupp will
be on hand at the hall to greet
you — ask for him when you
reach the building and we will
do our best to make you
welcome. '

You are also cordially invited
to visit our factory when in
the city and see how perfect
greenhouse material is made.
We shall be pleased to show
you the plant at any time.

Don't forget the date, Novem-
ber 6th to 14th, and don't fail
to come.

The Prize Winners as Usual

i

The list I have this year will contain the finest lot of
novelties I have ever sent ont, and that is saying much.
Among them will be Yellow Miller, a yellow sport
from the bronze Mrs. J. A. Miller. This is a sterling
variety and is bound to make good. Pockett's Crimson,
a crimson and gold beauty that I am distributing with
Wells this year. Charles H. Totty, an enormous chest-
nut scarlet. Mrs. O. H. Kahn, a bronze that will
depose any bronze we now have. These are already
certificated for me.

Other grand ones will be Clara Wells, a lovely incurved
yellow; Mrs. G. F. Coster, a deeper yellow than Donnel-
lan; Rose Pockett; Geo. Mileham, 1908; Pockett's Sur-
prise, and many other fine seedlings.

THE NATIONAL

FLOWER SHOW

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS SCORES A
SUCCESS WITH ITS FIRST EXHIBITION

THE GREATEST EXHIBITION EVER HELD IN AMERICA.

In the nature, of things it was in-
evitable that the trade should be keenly
critical of the national flower show. In-
spired at the Washington convention
of the S. A. F., the years of prepara-
tion aroused the anticipations of the
craft -to the point where nothing short
of perfection was looked for, in exhibits,
in arrangement, in management, and in
the thousand and one details connected
with so large an undertaking. It is
natural that there should have been
some failures in the smaller matters,
but the large fact stands out that, to
the Chicago public, the national flower
show eclipses in interest anything here-
tofore held in that city. Chicago was
chosen as the city in which to try the
experiment of a national exhibition, be-
cause its shows have been the largest
in the country and have been responded
to by the public more generally than in
any other city. That the national flower
show, at an advanced admission price,
is drawing more people day after day
than ever before attended, and that the
public has nothing but words of highest
praise, is a better indication than any
trade judgment as to the success of
this first national exhibition.

It is a nine days' show, from Novem-
ber 6 to 14, and favored by splendid
weather there was no sign of waning
public interest after six days. Sunday,
November 8, broke all records for at-
tendance.

The Plan of Arrangement

After having held a number of suc-
cessful shows in the Coliseum, the man-
agement was confronted with the ne-
cessity of providing an arrangement
which would at once impress the visitor
with being different from the arrange-
ment of the preceding shows. To this
end suggestions were asked from a num-
ber of sources, the final selection be-
ing a plan of arrangement supplied
by A. Z. Fraser, the designer whose deco-
rative effects have caused the store of
Marshall Field & Co. to have a world-
wide reputation in this line. The cen-
tral idea was a lawn effect, with per-
golas— four of them — each being sev-
enteen feet high, twelve feet wide and
seventy feet long. Their use in the cen-
ter of the Coliseum cut in badly upon
the floor space for exhibits, but added
immensely to the facility with which the
crowds could be handled, there being
a walk beneath each pergola. It is
said that the taste for pergolas resembles

that for olives, in that it is an acquired
taste, and also in that, once acquired,
one's liking grows apace. Many of the
trade visitors had neglected to acquire I eastern exhibits were not as numerous

much better than at first thought, and
in the end practically every florist gave
the scheme of arrangement his unquali-
fied approval. The only trouble was that
it shut off the view from the balconies,
in a measure.

At the opening a great many of the
splendid specimen plants were badly
crowded, hiding their perfection; but as
the days progressed the management
spread them out, each day showing an
improvement in the general effect. The
public said the general effect of the
show was the best ever. The balcony
was obscured by a lavish use of wild
smilax, and this material also was used
around the lights in the roof, with ex-
cellent result. It also constituted the
vines on the pergolas. If there was
anything lacking in public estimation,
it was the row of retail exhibits, which
in recent years have occupied the spaces
under the balconies.

the pergola habit, and for them at least
a second look was necessary before they
liked the arrangement. It proved, how-
ever, on closer acquaintance, to be very

as had been anticipated, but several ex-
hibitors came up with a large number of
entries, and enormous quantities of
stock, and to them a fuU measure of

credit should be given. W. A. Manda,
South Orange, N. J., brought a double
express car of finer decorative plants
than ever have been seen in Chicago.
The Julius Koehrs Co., Rutherford, N.
J., and Henry A. Dreer, Eiverton, N. J.,
each sent a carload of stock.

Chrysanthemum cut blooms came from
C H. Totty, Harry Turner, A. J. Love-
less, Thomas Proctor, R. Vincent, Jr.,
& Sons Co., and other eastern exhibitors.
There were roses from Cromwell, Conn.,
and Natick, Mass.; ferns from Massa-
chusetts and Tarrytown; roses and carna-
tions, as well as decorative plants, from
Philadelphia and Tarrytown, and one
exhibit, a good vase of Appleton chry-
santhemums, came from as far west as
Herman Bros. Co., Council BluflPs, la.
Kansas City, also, was represented.
While many eastern exhibits which had
been expected failed to materialize, there
was probably as great a number, and
certainly as large a quantity, as could
reasonably have been expected for a
first attempt at a national exhibition.

The quality of the exhibits was never
equaled at a Chicago show. The eastern-
ers, in every instance, brought perfectly
finished stock. The cut blooms were
many of them a revelation to western
growers, and the specimen plants were
beyond question better than anything
heretofore seen at Chicago.

One European Exhibit.

The exhibit was made international by
the presence of one exhibit from Europe,
that of M. Calvat, of Grenoble, France,
who sent a display of fifteen cut blooms
of chrysanthemums, which arrived in ex-
cellent condition and attracted a vast
amount of public attention. The vari-
eties were: Calvat 137, light yellow;
Calvat 148, bronzy red; Mme. Louis
Dolle, white; Souv. de Vienne, light yel-
low; La Capitol, bronzy yellow; Calvat
2, pale pink; Commandant Mathiew, yel-
low; Calvat 3, white; Calvat 133, bronze;
Calvat 4, light yellow; Calvat 189, red;
Souv. de Raymond, white; Calvat 1, yel-
low; Calvat 169, red. La Capitol ap-
peared the best thing in the lot. It
was a large, incurved flower of distinct
color and had traveled perfectly; in-
deed, the entire lot was in fine shape on
arrival and stood up well throughout the
show.

The Eastern Cut Mums.

C. H. Totty brought from Madison,
N. J., a set of the season's novelties,
which marked another advance in chry-
santhemums. Pockett's Crimson is an

(Secretary National Flower Show.)

enormous flower of a magnificent glowing
crimson, about the shade of the old
George W. Childs. The tips of the petals
incurve just enough to show a golden
tint. Yellow Miller is, as the name

indicates, a yellow sport from Mrs. J. A.
Miller, and by many is considered the
best novelty of the season. Mrs. O. H.
Kahn was another of his flowers which
attracted special attention.

Harry Turner, gardener for Howard
Gould, at Port Washington, N. Y.,
brought some splendid cut blooms, among
which was the best vase of 100 William
Duekham which ever has been put up in
the west; western growers cannot get
such results with this variety. A. J.
Loveless, president of the Chrysanthe-
mum Society, and Thomas Proctor, also
ot Lenox, Mass., brought some splendid
blooms, and were, in most cases, first
in the classes in which they were entered.

Special interest attached to the ex-
hibits of pompon and single chrysan-
themums, the display of these being
many times larger than in any previous
Chicago exhibition. There were ten en-
tries in some of the competitive classes,
and as many as eight entries in most
of them. A number of these exhibits
were from the eastern seaboard, among
the ones from that section being ex-
hibits from Totty, Vincent and the Craig
Co. The E. G. Hill Co., Elmer D. Smith
and other western growers also were
largely represented with these small flow-
ers of greatly increasing favor, and
these same western growers, Hill, Smith
and H. W. Buckbee, were on hand, as
usual at Chicago shows, with entries in
practically all the classes for cut blooms
of chrysanthemums. They never staged
better stock. Smith's President Taft
was the center of special interest to the
public because of the press work done
for it the day after election, and the
growers thought it a good commercial
sort. November 10 Mr. Smith put up
an exhibit of 438 varieties, one bloom
of each, that was one of the specially
interesting features of the show. Local
commercial growers of mums also put up
fine exhibits, especially Poehlmann Bros.
Co. and Bassett & Washburn, with many
less numerously represented.

The pot plants of chrysanthemums
were finer than ever seen at Chicago.
The principal exhibitors were, as usual,
Vaughan's Seed Store and H. W. Buck-
bee, but each of the local private gar-
deners was represented by one or more
plants and all were excellent specimens.

each had excellent groups of chrysan-
themum plants arranged for effect.

Splendid Decorative Plants.

The quality of the decorative plants
was especially noteworthy. It hardly
~^>-uld be possible to find finer specimens
anywhere in the United States than
were gathered together for this show.
To W. A. Manda special mention is due,
because of the quality, number and size
of his exhibits. The only regret was
that it seemed difficult to provide each
one with space to show its perfect de-
velopment. He had a number of palms
which stood fifteen to twenty feet high
and scores of large plants in tubs, speci-
mens weighing many hundreds of pounds
each. To transport them to Chicago
he engaged a special express car at
South Orange, N. J., and filled it with
stock without .wrapping. One of .his
special groups was of Dracaena Man-
daiana. He also made an exhibit of
landscape plans, which was the subject
of much study by those interested in the
matter.

Julius Eoehra Co., Kutherford, N. J.,
also brought a carload of plants, in-
cluding many large specimens and rare
varieties, but also including more of the
commercial stock.

Henry A. Dreer had a group occu-
pying 200 square feet, made up of a
large variety of decorative plants in
commercial sizes displayed on the Moore-
Livingston plant stand. Special men-
tion in this group should be made of the
large sizes of Coeos Weddelliana and of

the Adiantum Farleyense. Dreer also
had a separate group of Nephrolepis
Scholzeli, the crested sport of Scottii.
The Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia,
aside from its entries in the competitive

classes, had a group of Ficus pandurata,
of crotons in a large number of vari-
eties, and of Pandanus Pacifica, which
latter especially attracted attention.

The C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee,
had a group of palms, ferns and deco-

rative plants, and the George Wittbold
Co., Chicago, was represented, as usual,
by a large group arranged as a part
of the landscape effect. It was too much
crowded to show the individuality of
the specimens.

New Ferns.

Among the commercial men much in-
terest centered in the displays of the
new ferns. Competing for the award as
"best" were F. R. Pierson's Neph-
rolepis elegantissima compacta. Dreer's
Nephrolepis Scholzeli, H. H. Barrows &
Son's sport of Nephrolepis Barrowsii and
W. A. Manda's Polypodium Mandaianum.
The judges took three days to deliberate
on this class, so difficult was it to de-
termine which one should be singled out
as better than the others. They finally
settled upon Polypodium Mandaianum to
receive the silver medal, and thereby
skillfully avoided the issue as between
the nephrolepises.

The F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown,
had a table of Superbissima and Ele-
gantissima tompacta in a large range of
sizes ; also another new fern named Viri-
dissima, which is a sport from Super-
bissima and shows that. the variation has
pi^gressed from the Boston through
Piersoni and succeeding sports to Super-
bissima and now biack closely to Boston
type, with the evidence of its more im-
mediate ancestors. The Pierson Co. also
had a table showing a large number of
the now numerous sports following Bos-
ton. Geny Bros., Nashville, had a finely
crested nephrolepis named Geneyii.

MisceUaneous Groups.

E. G. Uihlein, formerly president of
the Horticultural Society of Chicago, had
a number of large decorative groups,
and also his usual entry in the orchid
class, with a number of specimen plants
in the miscellaneous plant classes. Each
one was worthy of mention, but his plant
of Cibotium regale was noticeable as
undoubtedly the finest cibotium which the
public has seen at a Chicago exhibition.
J. J. Mitchell was also represented by a
finJB group from his L^ke Geneva con-
servatories. The South parks and Lincoln
park each contributed a large group for
effect.

The Roses.

The competition in the rose classes
was not as keen as had been anticipated,
nor so great as at recent Chicago shows.
The quality of the stock, however, left
nothing to be desired and each exhibitor
managed to annex a few of the blue
ribbons. Interest in these classes was
stimulated by the presence of several
n£w varieties. A local display of My
Maryland, pink, defeated an exhibit of
White Killarney, which had come a thou-
sand miles, from Tarrytown, N. Y., to
contest for the prize as the best new
rose. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia,
also exhibited White Killarney, but not
for exhibition, their flowers having come
from the Waban Rose Conservatories,
Natick, Mass. When this variety can be

eties, together with several now under
trial at his place.

The competition for 100 Beauties,
which always is a center of interest to
the trade, was divided into two sections.
The first day William Dittmann carried
off the first prize, with Poehlmann Bros.
Co., Bassett & Washburn and Peter Rein-
berg following in the order name^. The
competition was close, but the entries not
numerous enough to suit the management,
which sent out a special letter to growers
soliciting entries for the second day's
competition, November 11. The net re-
sult was that Dittmann dropped out and
there were but three entries, which left
the $25 fourth prize uncompeted for.
Poehlmann Bros. Co. was first, Bassett
& Washburn second, and Peter Reinberg
third. New roses staged November 11
were few. White Killarney and Mrs. Mar-
shall Field carrying off the honors. White
IQllarney was given a cup in a class for
twelve blooms of a variety nT)t previously
exhibited, but only second in a class for
any variety not yet in commerce, no first
being awarded, the judges possibly going
on the theory that one cup ought to be
enough for one day. Mrs. Field in a
class for pink rose for summer culture
beat out a magnificent vase of Killarney
staged by Bassett & Washburn, also W.
B. Smith, by the South Park Floral Co.,
and Killarney from Poehlmann Bros. Co.

staged by local growers, the indications
are it will outclass all other whites.

Peter Reinberg 's Mrs. Marshall Field
won out in the class for 100 "any
other variety" over four excellent en-
tries. Mr. Reinberg maintained a table
of roses throughout the show, renewing
the stock each day and staging a vase
of each one of the commercial vari-

cess of Naples, a pleasing color and
good keeper.

The Carnations.

Whatever the showing of roses may
have fallen short of anticipation, the
display of carnations compensated for
it, because it was far ahead of what
had been expected. There were as many

as a dozen entries in the class for fifty
White" Perfection, and in quantity the
showing was as great as 'any ever seen at
an autumn exhibition in this country.
For quality, the display was noteworthy.
The season has not been a good one for
-carnations, and the general quality of the
stock in the Chicago market has not
been so good as usual in the last few
weeks. This was expected to be ap-
pareift in the carnation display, but the
reverse was the case, for the exhibits
were up to the best previous records and
of uniformly high quality; nothing
further was to have been desired on
this score. While the bulk of the ex-
hibits came from nearby growers, the
I'. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y.,
had several exhibits. There was one
from Long Island, another from Phila-
delphia, several from Pittsburg, Cincin-
nati and nearer points, so that the whole
country was fairly represented.

It was noticeable that the classes for
"any other variety^' were not competed
for anywhere near so closely as those
for the named varieties, indicating how
the list of generally grown sorts has nar-
rowed down, in spite of the steady in-
crease in new varieties. Poehlmann Bros.
Co. carried off the premier award, a gold
medal, for best 100 blooms in the show,
with White Perfection.

There was a large attendance of car-
nation growers the day the blooms were
staged, and, naturally, their interest cen-
tered in the newer sorts. O. P. Bassett,
the new red, did itself much credit. The
growers liked the color and fullness
of President Taft, exhibited by Scheiden
& Schoos. It is a bold, striking flower.
Two promising whites were shown, Geor-
gia, from J. D. Cockcroft, Northport,
L. I., and Mrs. J, C. Vaughan, from
Mount Greenwood cemetery. Joseph
Heacock, Wyncote, Pa., exhibited Dor-
othy Gordon, a rose-pink of the En-
chantress type, and the Miami Floral Co.,.
Dayton, O., had a seedling of Lawson
shade, of which a good vase was put
up. The Charles Knopf Floral Co.
showed Mrs, Knopf and Ruby, which are
to be sent out this year, with some
seedlings which are under trial. The
Wandka Greenhouses, Barneveld, N. Y.,
exhibited Apple Blossom and Wanoka.
Bertermann Bros. Co., Indianapolis,
showed its yellow novelty, named James
Whitcomb Riley. F. Dorner & Sons Co.,
R. Witterstaetter and several others had
exhibits of seedlings which could only
be shown in small quantity. Henry
Eichholz, Waynesboro, Pa., exhibited Al-
vin, both cut blooms and pot plants,
which were well liked.

Orchids.

The orchids were a special feature for
November 10, and the display was one
of the finest ever seen in the west.
Julius Roehrs Co. staged an especially
striking group, containing several hun-
dred plants in fine flower and so arranged
that it was one of the spectacular fea-
tures of the show. W. A. Manda and
Lager & Hurrell also were splendidly
represented. E. G. Uihlein had some
nice plants.

Included in the Roehrs and Manda
groups, and in Lager & Hurrell 's, were
some valuable specimens and many rare
things, but the general public looks upon
an orchid as an orchid, providing it is
a cattleya, and the cattleyas invariably
are the center of attraction. Nothing
in the show attracts greater attention.

Miscellaneous Exhibits.

H. N. Bruns maintained a table of
cut valley throughout the show.

In the annex Vaughan's Seed Store
had a table showing a large variety
of vegetables, attractively arranged.

After having declined a number of
exhibits from nurserymen, because of
anticipated lack of room, the manage-
ment found a place in the annex for one
such exhibit, that of Swain Nelson &
Sons Co* The E. F. Winterson Co. also
put up a group of palms, ferns and nurs-
ery stock.

To the public a special feature was
the man making flower pots, and his
companion giving a demonstration of
potting young stock.
/ N. C. Moore & Co., Morton Grove,
ni., exhibited a new yellow pompon mum
named Nellie C. Moore.

In the days before the competition on

table decorations, E. Wienhoeber ^nd
W. J. Smyth maintained decorated tables
in the annex, which were one of the
special features, attracting fully as much
attention as anything in the show. The
retail work always draws the crowd. It
is the most interesting feature to the
ladies.

A/ Lange maintained an exhibit of
brides' bouquets, corsage bouquets, bas-
kets, etc., which was a center of attrac-
tion.

In the annex Vaughan's Seed Store
occupied a large space with an exhibit
representing a neglected backyard, and
the same yard horticulturally embel-
lished. The before-taking side* of the
picture never failed to provoke a laugh,
and the after-taking side was admirably
executed. Probably the exhibit will do
as much as anything in the show in
the way of actually incieasing the de-
mand for plants and flowers.

The flower booth, for the sale of
blooms, is conducted for the Chicago
Florists' Club, by Mrs. T. E. Waters,
-and is doing a prosperous business.

Thomas Boland, Nahant, Mass., sent an
exhibit of cyclamen plants grown frpm.
seed in fourteen months, well in flower.

J. W. Dudley, Parkersburg, W. Va.,
had a display of Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine in good shape.

E. M. Barton put up a fine table of
vegetables.

The information booth is in charge, of
the private gardeners, Emil Bollinger,
chairman, and their selection for this
duty was a most happy one.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Phila-
delphia, is present, but his exhibit is
at the Great Northern hotel, where .he
has a large line of florists' supplies,

Kroeschell Bros. Co. rented' a vacant
store a few doors south of the Coli-
seum for a display of heating apparatus.

Included in the Roehrs and Manda
groups, and in Lager & Hurrell's. were
sonu> valuable specimens and many rare
things, but the general public looks upon
an orchid as an orchid, providing it is
a cattleya, ami the cattleyas invariably
are the, center of attraction. Nothing
in the show attract;^' greater attention.

11. X. Brmis inaintainod a tahlt
cut valley througliont tlie show.

In tlio annex ^'allgllan 's Seed Store
had a table showing a large variety
of vegetables, attractively arranged.

After having declined ii ninnber of
exhibits from mirseryinen. because of
nnticijiated lack of I'ooin. the nianage-
jnent found a jdaci' in tlic annex for one
such exliibit, tliat of Swain Nelson «Sc
Sons Co. Tiie E. Y. Winterson Co. also
put up a group of palms, ferns and nurs-
ery stock.

To the public a special feature was
the man making, flower pots, and his
coni])anion giving a dcmons'tration of
potting young stock.

N. C. Moore & Co., Morion (!rove,
III., exhibit(Ml a new yellow iiompon mum
named Nellie C. Moore.

In the days before the competition on

table decorations, K. Witndioelter and
W. J. Smyth maintained dccoratiMl tables
in the annex, which were one of the
special features, attracting fully as mmdi
attention as anything in the show. 'J'he
retail work always draws the crowd. It
is the most int(n'esting feature to the
ladies.

A.- Lange nuiintained an exhibit of
bri(l(>s ' bou<iuets, corsage bt)iiquets, bas-
kets, etc., wliiidi was a center of attrac-
tion.

Jn the annt^x A'auglian's Seed Store
occui)ie(l a large s]iace with an exhibit
I'epresenting a neglected backyard, and
the same yard horticulturally endiej-
lishi^d. Th(^ bi'forc^-taking side of the
l)icture never fiiiled to jirovoke a laugh,
and the after taking side was admirablv
executed. Probably the exhibit will (1
as nnich as anything in the show in
the way of .Mctuaily increasing the dj
niand for plants and- flowers.

The tlower booth, for the sale of
blooms, is conducted for tiie ('hicago
Florists' Club, by .Mrs. T. K. Waters,
and is doing a jirosperous business.

Thomas RolamI, Nahant, Mass., sent an
exhibit of cyclamen plants grown from
seed in fourteen months, well in flower.

J. W. Dudley, I'arkersburg, W. Va.,
had .a, display of Begonia (iloire de
Lorraine in good shape.

K. M. Barton put- up a fine table of
vegetables.

The information booth is in charge of
the /private gardeners, Emil B<iliinger,
cli.yrman. and their selection for this
du/\- was a most happy one.

. Kschner, of M. Rice & Co.. Phila-
eipliia. is present, but his exhibit is
;it tli(> Croat Northern hotel, where he
las a large liiK^ of florists' supplies.

Kides(diell Bros. Co. rented' a vacant
store a few doors south of the Coli-
seum for a disi)lay of iieating a])paratus.

NATIONAL SHOW BANQUET.

The banquet to visiting florists at the
Auditorium hotel, Chicago, November 10,
was a love feast as well, also the most
notable gathering of horticulturists ever
brought together in this country. Prac-
tically every state in the Union was rep-
resented, and Canada also. The keynote
of the evening was struck by President
Leonard Kill when he said that Chicago
took for itself only small credit for the
local part of national preparation made
for the great exhibition, and that Chi-
cago was abundantly repaid for any ef-
fort by the presence of so large and so
represent^.tive a gathering.

Between 400 and 500 were present,
more than 100 ladies being among the
guests. It was the first time in the his-
tory of these annual flower show ban-
quets at Chicago that the ladies have
graced the occasion, and nearly every
speaker had a word to say in recognition
of the additional pleasure their presence
gave. The menu was as follows:

President Kill spoke briefly in wel-

pose the toasts of the evening. Mr.
Rudd read a telegram of congratulations
from the New York Florists' Club, sent
from its meeting the evening before, and

then introduced J. A, Valentine, of Den-
ver, president-elect of the S. A. F.

Mr. Valentine referred humorously to
t! 3 Chicago habit of each man speaking
his own mind and then all putting their
shoulders to the wheel in united effort
for the general good. He said the Chi-
cago florists are the best fighters, the
uest makers-up, and the best workers he
ever had seen, and that the success which
has attended the first national flower
show marks a new era for the S. A. F.
He said he is sanguine as to the future
because he believes that the stronger the
society "tSecomes the faster it will grow.

President F. H. Traendly, not being
able to remain at Chicago for the ban-
quet, Toastmaster Rudd introduced E. V.
Hallock, of Queens, N. Y., as his ora-
torical representative. Mr. Hallock said
Mr. Traendly appreciates most thorough-
ly the effort which has "been, put into
this first exhibition of the national so-
ciety and that he was instructed to voice
Mr. Traendly 's thanks to the florists not
only of Chicago, but of the whole coun-
try for the good worK done. For him-
self, Mr. Hallock said that Chicago was
entitled to special credit for daring to
undertake so monumental an exhibition,
involving not only large financial outlay,
but the expenditure of a vast amount of
close thought and hard work. He said
he thinks the eastern exhibitors are to
be congratulated on making as good a
showing as has been done, a thousand
miles from home.

For the American Carnation Society,
M. A. Patten, of Tewksbury, Mass., was
called upon to tell how the section of the
show under its supervision has been made
by far the grandest display of its spe-
cial flower ever brought together at this
season of the year. He said it was sim-
ply because each one had done his best.
He added a word for the society's an-
nual exhibition at Indianapolis in Janu-
ary, saying he hopes for the same united
support for that event.

President-elect Elmer D. Smith, of Ad-

rian, Mich., was called upon for the
Chrysanthemum Society, but' evidently
had gone back to the hall to admire the
blooms, and the toastmaster called upon
August Poehlmann, of Chicago, president
of the American Rose Society.

Mr. Poehlmann said he was delighted
with the attendance at the banquet; it
gave him much pleasure to see at the
tables old friends from New England,
from New Orleans, and from the Pacific
Coast. He said he was sorry the show-
ing of roses had failed something of
realizing the high hopes of the rose men
and said they expect a large attendance
at the rose meeting at Buffalo next
spring.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
was called upon to speak for the Illinois
State Florists' Association. He said the
society is a recent graft upon the parent
plant, but that it is expected it will in
time become a great and flourishing
branch, working along a little different
lines but for the general good.

W. F. Kasting, chairman of the gen-
eral committee on national flower show,
commented on the banquet as being
like the national flower show, a new
departure, and on a broader plan
than anything in the past. He said he
never has seen so many representative
florists together at such an event, nor so
many ladies. He said that while the
show is not as national in exhibits as
had been hoped, the attendance of mem-
bers of the trade is especially gratify-
ing. He said that every member of the
committee of fifty has given the chair-
man excellent support and that on No-
vember 9 twenty-five of the eastern mem-
bers met at the Coliseum, unanimously
endorsed the work of the Chicago man-
agement, and adopted a resolution ask-
ing the next national show for one of
the larger eastern cities. He said such a
show helps business all over the country,
for the present one is attracting the at-
tention of the press throughout the
Union. Speaking of the financial side.

he said it is hoped the guarantors may
receive back the sums advanced for pre-
liminary work.

J. C. Vaughan said Chicago has re-
ceived full credit for all it has done
and he would like to see more recogni-
tion for the good work of representa-
tives of other cities ; while the show falls
a little short of meeting what had been
hoped for, it is at least a good start and
much of the hard work has been done by
others than Chicagoans. Many Chicago
exhibitors stayed out merely to make
room for outside exhibits. A grateful
feature is the large attendance from a
distance, making the show universal in
point of attendance. He said it is glory
enough to Chicago to have inaugurated
such a movement.

Judge Vesey, of Fort Wayne, was
called upon as the right hand man of the
president of the Ladies ' Society of Amer-
ican Florists and told a couple of good
stories, one at the expense of the toast-
master and another at the expense of the
introducers of novelties.

F. R. Pierson said he wanted to ac-
knowledge such splendid hospitality aa
had greeted him everywhere, and that he
wanted to publicly recognize the great
difficulties of the management of such
an initiatory undertaking in national ex-
hibitions. He said the east hopes to
have the second national show, but ap-
preciates the amount of work and re-
sponsibility entailed. He said the pres-
ent gathering was the most representa-
tive he ever had seen. Speaking of the
desirability of securing the assistance
of wealthy men, he said as soon as this is
possible these national shows will become
annual events.

John N.. May, of Summit, N. J., said
the evening was one of the most enjoy-
able he ever had spent. In over three
decades he had not seen so splendid a
gathering of florists, and he said he
hoped the presence of the ladies would be
an example to the fraternity throughout
the country, and that they might always

grace such future occasions. He said the
national show was a credit to its name, a
grand success artistically, and he hoped
it would turn out so financially.

Mr. Budd spoke a word for the good
work of the superintendent, J. B. Dea^
mud, who could not be present, and P. J.
Foley and George Asmus each were called
upon and spoke briefly.

During the banquet and throughout
thd evening there was a vaudeville pro-
gram by amateur friends of Duncan A.
Eobertson, of the E. Wienhoeber Co.,
which added immensely to the enjoyment
of the occasion. Miss Then, daughter of
Aoton Then, was one of the soloists and
was warmly encored, as were each of
the others on the program.

Following the banquet many of the
visitors attended the annual reception
and dance of the employees of the E.
Wi«nhoeber Co., at the Svithoid club,
where festivities continued till a late
hour.

The Ladies' S. A. F. participated in
a theater party for the opera "Lohen-
grin" on Wednesday afternoon, Novem-
ber 11.

; NATIONAL SHOW VISITORS.

The national flower show was
given by the S. A. F. and the cus-
tom of the Chicago shows was not
followed in the matter of extending
admission courtesies to visiting florists
unless they were members of the national
society or the societies cooperating in
giving the show. Because of the fact
that no complimentary tickets were com-
ing to them, a large number of trade vis-
itors failed to make themselves known at
the secretary's oflSce and it is impossible
to give a complete list of those present.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

Annual Meeting*

The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer-
ica held its annual meeting at the Coli-
seum, Chicago, November 7. President
Alfred J. Loveless, of Lenox, Mass., oc-
cupied the chair and Thomas Jenkinson,
of Pittsburg, acted as secretary pro tem
in the absence of David Fraser. Presi-
dent Loveless, in his address, spoke in
part as follows:

President's Address.

During the yekr some increase of mem-
bership has been apparent, and the work
of the society is still being carried on
effectively, but there remains much to be
accomplished.

As time passes some active workers
drop from our roll of membership and
drift from our ranks without any par-
ticular reason, but to the faithful few
who have the interest of the society at
heart, we owe a debt of gratitude.

With such a widely scattered board of
officers, and the few opportunities for
meeting to discuss the work of the so-
ciety, it is essential that every member
make an effort to procure new mem-
bers, and also try to attend the an-
nual meeting and present his ideas for
the government and improvement of this
society. I would urge upon the state
vice-presidents the importance of pre-
senting the work and aims of our so-
ciety to the horticulturists of their par-
ticular states on every possible occasion,
taking advantage of exhibitions and so-
ciety meetings to canvass for new mem-
bers, and so do their part in building
up the parent society.

A special meeting was called in March
last, when the executive committee re-
ceived the report of the committee on
affiliation appointed at the last annual
meeting, and a scheme was presented
and approved, the same having been
submitted to the various horticultural
societies throughout the country, but
with little response, principally through
the lateness of the season at which the
terms of affiliation were mailed, and a
clause which called for notice to be given
by April 1. An extension of time, to
October 1, was deemed advisable, with
the result that one society became affili-
ated at the last moment, and the affilia-
tion trophy brought out spirited compe-
tition, adding much to the attractive-
ness of its exhibition. The advantage-
of having a national trophy for com-
petition at home should alone be an in-
ducement to the many societies to be-
come united with us, and I feel sure-
that many will favorably consider this
matter in due course, and assist in build-
ing up the C. S. A. locally, and add to
the importance of their own exhibitions.

In the past attention has been particu-
larly directed to the production of enor-
mous flowers, but the limit of perfection
has not yet been reached. Few ever
thought that Chrysanthemiste Montigny
could be produced in such perfection as
those superb blooms exhibited at the

Duckham could develop such dlmeneions
as those perfect speeimens exhibited on
that occasion.

I*erfection of form should be the aim
of our hybridists, and not only a bloom
of immense size, but a combination of
these good points is desirable. The
chrysanthemum season is being extended
in ooth directions, and by a judicious
selection of varieties, blooms may be had
from early August to January.

The increasing interest in single and
pompon chrysanthemums made it neces-
sary to adopt a standard scale of points
for judging, which will be presented by
the committee at this meeting, and to
get started in the right direction several
growers were invited to send an exhibit
of their varieties to the present exhibi-
tion for classification and registra-
tion of names, duplicates being both
undesirable and confusing. The classes
for singles can be largely increased
at future exhibitions, when some
basis for judging has been adopt-
ed, and I trust this is a step in the
right direction, to place the single chry-
santhemum before the public and estab-
lish its usefulness as a decorative plant
for the florist as w^ as the private
gardener. Its light, graceful sprays, ad-
mitting of such treatment as would be
impossible with the large blooms, and its
being inexpensive, bring it within the
reach of all, to be a new source of in-
come to the grower, and a satisfactory
investment for the purchaser.

There are still some insect pests for
which we have not yet found a reliable
remedy. With the adoption of fumiga-
tion by the aid of hydrocyanic acid gas,
green and black fly no longer worry us,
but the cinch bug causes more damage
to chrysanthemums generally than is sup-
posed, and is not easily prevented, except
by strenuous means that jeopardize the
life of the plants as well. A safe and
effective fumigating agent has yet to be
found for dealing with these pests.

To the several committees appointed
for judging seedlings, who so faithfully
fulfill the duties assigned to them, wo
are deeply grateful, and every exhibitor
of chrysanthemums owes his success, in-
directly, to the efforts of these men,
who advise us of the sterling qualities
of the new varieties submitted to them
for judgment; their work alone is a
suflScient reason for the existence and
general support of the Chrysanthemum
Society.

Other Reports.

Secretary Eraser's report showed
twenty-two new names added to the roll
last year, offsetting the loss by dropping
all those who have not paid their dues.

Treasurer John N. May reported a
balance last year of $340.41; receipts
this year, $280; disbursements, $309.09;
balande, $311.32.

C. H. Totty, for the committee on

scale of points for judging singles and

pompons, submitted the following, which

was adopted:

PROTECTING COSMOS.

Cosmos Lady Lenox is such a strikingly
beautiful flower that its early destruction

by frost is nothing less than deplorable.
There is no reason why any gardener
or florist should lose these beautiful flow-
ers by the first nipping frost, when all
that is required to save them is the erec-
tion of a movable shelter of boards. Or
it may only be necessary to enclose the
sides and ends with boards, and then
merely perfect the protection by cover-
ing the top with burlap or some other
material of like character when the state
of the weather indicates a need for such
protection. By taking a little trouble in
the manner indicated, a supply of these
beautiful flowers can be had for an ex-
tended period. M.

BOSTON.

The exhibition of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, which closed No-
vember 9, was the best held for several
years. Chrysanthemums, both pot plants
and cut blooms, were more numerous and
of much better quality than a year ago,
while the orchid groups were great at-
tractions. The growing interest in single
chrysanthemums was evidenced by the

large entries of these, which seemed to
attract visitors even more than the big
blooms. Specimen plants, which were
conspicuously absent last year, were
again in evidence, but of more moderate
size than those formerly seen in Boston.
Decorated dinner tables for ten covers
of chrysanthemums brought out six
entries. The first prize went to Edward
MacMulkin, who used white pompon,
Prince of Wales. Mrs. E. M. Gill, who

and the proceeds of the show were do-
nated to that institution. The exhibits
filled the hall nicely and with the groups

local florists, Durand, Leavitt and Back-
er, and by William Pursey, gardener for
Hon. J. S. Fassett, made a beautiful dis-
play. Music was provided afternoons
and evenings. The admission charged
was 25 cents and, while the attendance
was light, still a comfortable sum was
realized for the federation over and above
the expenses.

One of the most interesting parts of
the show was the exhibit from the New
York State College of Agriculture at
Cornell, of illustrations and specimens
representing their work on insects, plant
diseases, and the various horticultural
operations of planting, grafting, etc.
There were three gentlemanly attendants
in charge, who took pains to explain to
all interested.

the orchids from Lager & Hurrell, Sum-
mit, N. J., the vases of splendid Chatenay
and Queen Beatrice roses from the U. S.

The Nassau County Horticultural So-

in Pembroke hall. Glen Cove, November

rated and the exhibits effectively placed,
giving a good view from all sides. It
was one of the best exhibitions given by
the,, society, both financially and other-
wise. A special feature of the exhibi-
tion was two pieces of fretwork, by Mr.
Ingram, Oyster Bay, which received hon-
orable mention. J. F. H. Matz, Glen
Cove, had an elaborate flower piece, in
the shape of a harp, standing four feet
high. The columns were composed of
pink roses and orchids, while the strings
were lily of the valley, and the base of
Easter lilies, which received a certificate

port, sent for exhibition twenty-five
blooms of his new white carnation, Geor-
gia, which received a certificate of merit

ciety was held in the State armory, in

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

The Nassau County Horticultural So
eiety held its fourth annual exhibition
in Pembroke hall, Glen Cove, November
5 and G. The hall was tastefully deco-
rated and the exhibits effectively placed,
giving a good view from all sides. It
was one of the best exhibitions given by
the society, both financially and other-
wise. A special feature of the exhibi-
tion was two pieces of fretwork, by Mr.
Ingram, Oyster Bay, whudi received hon-
orable mention. J. 1\ II. Matz, Glen
Cove, had an elaborate ilower piece, in
the shape of a harp, standing four feet
high. The columns were composed of
pink roses and orchids, while the strings
were lily of the valley, and the base of
Easter lilies, which received a ccrtificat(?
of merit. James D. Coekcroft, of North -
port, sent for exhibition twenty-five
blooms of his new white carnation, Geor-
gia, which received a certificate of merit
an(l got a good deal of attention from
visitors. ]\Iusic was supplied each even
ing by Miller's orchestra. The judges
were George Hales, Seabright, N. J.,
and Robert Angus, Tarrytown. Repre-
sentatives from several of the New York
seed houses were present.

A few of the gardeners prominent
in former shows were missing this year.
The principal exhibitors and premium
winners were: A. ISleKenzie, gardener
to Percy Chubb; S. Trejjass, gardener to
.1. R. Maxwell; N'jilentinc Cleres, gar-
dener to F. S. Smithers; George Wil-
son, gardener to B. JS. Roslyn; Paul
Real, gardener to Walter Gibb; II. F,
Matz, J. Ingram; Henry Grant, gar-
dener to H. L. Pratt; F. Petroccia, and
Adolph Alius.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.

The fourteenth annual exhibition of
the Dutchess County Horticultural So-
ciety was held in the State armory, in
this city, on Thursday and Friday, Oc-
tober L'l) and 30.

There were a large number of entries
in all classes and competition in some
of them was close, the scale of points
liaving to be resorted to in several in-
stances, noticeably in carnations. There
were not so many groups of ornamental
foliage plants as usual, but there were
enough to furnish a good setting for the
unusually large entry of carnations,
roses .and clirysantheimims.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

Lorraine Besonias.

Many of the Lorraine begonias are
now flowering quite profusely, and if
the temperature can be lowered a few
degrees, to a minimum of 55 degrees at
night, the plants will be stockier and the
blooms have more . substance. We hope
the necessary supports were remembered
some time ago, for too often growers
wait until the plants are coming into
flower and falling over the sides of the
pots before attending to this. The stakes
should be light and not long enough to
show above the flowers. Feeding once in
four or five days with weak cow manure
is now beneficial, and if the foliage
wants toning up a little, soot water
should be used. Lorraine begonias re-
quire no shade now and the nearer they
can be stood to the light the better they
will be. Avoid any wetting overhead
now, as it will be injurious.

Show PeUrgoniums.

It will now be possible to make room
for show pelargoniums in a cool house;
40 to 45 degrees at night will answer
well. See that the pots do not become
matted with roots before a shift is given.
Pinch the tops out of any shoots which
are taking the lead, to keep the plants
bushy. Do not forget to spread some
fresh tobacco stems among the plants
once a fortnight. Green aphis has a
decided partiality for these pelargoniums
and will speedily ruin them if not kept
in check.

Pandanus Veitchli.

There are few more generally useful
fine foliaged plants than Pandanus
Veitchii. It is of easy propagation at
this season by rubbing off the side shoots
and inserting them in a warm propagat-
ing bed. In potting off the rooted cut-
tings be careful to prevent any of the
roots being broken. They will usually go
straight down through the sand into the
drainage if left too long in the propa-
gating bench. Pandanus Sanderse, which
was introduced a few years ago, is little
heard of now. It never attained any
popularity, but is useful in a collection
for variety. As a house plant it is in-
ferior to the older variety.

Poinsettias.

The bracts on poinsettias are develop-
ing quite fast now and every attention
should be paid to watering, so that the
plants will lose as little foliage as pos-
sible. Poinsettias with leaves to the top
of the pots or pans, and of a dark
green color, will sell on sight. It is
otherwise where only a tuft of leaves
remains just below the bracts. A tem-
perature of 60 degrees at night is better
than a higher one when the bracts are
opening. Applications of manure water
should cease before they are fully devel-
oped. Avoid heavy doses. If these do
not cause a loss of foliage, they will
make the bracts soft and then when cut

they will not stand up so well as those
subjected to less feeding.

Hardy Lilies.

Fall is the proper season to plant
haxdy lilies. In the spring the bulbs, no
matter how carefully carried over winter,
have lost much of their strength. Bulbs
of some varieties are now arriving, but
others may not come to hand before
December. For these latter it is best to
protect the places to be planted, with
straw or leaves, so that they can be
gotten in on arrival.

The general practice is to plant out-
door lilies too shallow. A depth of eight
to ten inches is better than four to five
inches. Put a good coating of sharp
sand below and above the buTbs and do
not use any fresh manure about them.
Lilium speciosum album and rubrum,
tigrinum, auratum and Batmannise are
useful commercial sorts. All will do
better where they can have a little shade.

Preparing; Gjxnpost Piles.

Now is the season to secure a good
stack of compost for pots and benches.

The top spit of upland pastures, where
stock has been grazed, is the best and
this may be cut four inches thick. In
stacking it we like to place a layer of
cow manure between every two thick-
nesses of sods. When chopped down in
spring and turned over, this makes first-
class material for either pots or benches.
As there are some plants which would
object to the manure, it is best to make
a pile of pure sod for these. Far too
little attention is paid to the compost
heaps. Without good soil it is out of the
question to grow good flowers, no matter
how much fertilizer and liquid manure
may be given them while growing.

As freezing-up weather may soon be
expected under ordinary conditions, it is
time to get a supply of loam, rotted
manure, sand, leaf-mold and other pot-
ting accessories under cover. It is not
pleasant scurrying around after these
when a thick blanket of snow covers the
ground.

Pansies.

Where pansies are to be wintered out-
doors, it is still too early to afford pro-
tection. Wait until the ground is hard
frozen for this work. In many places it
is risky to attempt carrying these out-
doors, and in such cases the plants should
be put in coldframes at once. In addi-
tion to pansies, such plants as digitalis,
Canterbury bells, rockets, double ^isies,
forget-me-nots and others of doubtful
hardiness are best carried over in frames.
Place no sashes over them until quite
severe weather sets in.

Adiantums.

when received. They appear to be cov-
ered with oyster shell scale, a pest fre-
quently attacking such shrubs as lilacs
outdoors. This is an easier pest to de-
stroy than the San Jose scale. If only
one plant is affected, it would be well to
burn it. If you do not want to do this,
wash the wood with strong whale oil
soap, making it quadruple the strength
you would use for syringing. This will
kill the scale. Whale oil soap of this
strength will destroy foliage unless it is
very tough. C.

STORING DAHLIAS.

On the approach of cold weather,
dahlias should have their tops cut off to
within a few inches of their crowns and
should then be Vdug up. The roots should
be placed where they will dry suffieientlv
to permit the \ easy removal of the soil
which is clinging to them. Then they
should be stored away in boxes or on
shelves in cool, dry cellars, or in sheds
where frost will not reach them. Dry
soil or sawdust may be strewn among the
roots. If shelves cannot be erected, the
roots may be laid on boards or on the
bare floors, if they can be kept quite
dry.

It will save a great deal of confusion
and annoyance in the spring if a little
extra care is taken now in making sure
that all varieties have correct labels se-
curely fastened to at least a few of each
lot of every variety stored away for
keeping. M.

whether the plants are in pots or benches,
more care in watering will now be
needed. Dryness at the root speedily
causes the ruin of many fronds. An-
other fertile cause is damping overhead,
which causes rot to set in where the
fronds are the most dense. It is a good
idea to look over the plants when time
permits and remove any brown, yellowing
or useless fronds to give those coming on
every chance. A heavy shade keeps
adiantums a good dark color, but on the
other hand it makes them soft. Little
shade should now be required until the
latter part of February.

After cutting a plant down clean, it
is best to keep it on the dry side for a
few weeks before potting and starting it
up again. Keep a sharp lookout for
snails, and if they are troublesome lay
baits, such as potato slices and cabbage
or lettuce leaves, which should be fre-
quently removed and examined.

OYSTER SHELL SCALE.

"Would you kindly tell me what insect
it was which laid its eggs on the small
shoot which I am mailing t The other
shoots are affected by something resem-
bling scale. It is rather small and not
resembling the San Jose scale, if it is
scale. The shoots on the same bush were
not affected in the least and not another
one in the houses. The wilted condition
of the leaves attracted my attention.

NOTEMBBB 12, 1908.

AT THE NATIONAL SHOW.

.High Quality of Exhibits.

There is one thing which is beyond
any question, and that is that the average
quality of the blooms staged is of an
extremely high order. I dare say that
some of the vases are so good that if
the same varieties are shown as good at
Indianapolis^ in January, they will surely
land inside the money, I will not try
to cover the whole list of classes in a
reportorial way, but will merely give a
few of the impressions as they came to
me while I looked over the show. To use
a slang phrase, we will merely "touch
the high places."

The one thing which has impressed
itself most distinctly on most of us is,
that in white there is at this date noth-
ing which can compare with White Per-
fection as an exhibition variety. In fact,
there seems to be no variety of any color
which, for form of flower, size, stem,
calyx and general excellence, can com-
pare with-it. It might be called the all-
around champion, which it proved to be
here, when the vase^f 100 blooms from
Poehlmann Bros, carried off the sweep-
stake gold medal in the class for 100.
It is also worthy of note that all three
prizes in the class for 100 white went to
this variety, in spite of several grand
vases of White Enchantress and a fine
vase of Rudd's Mrs. J. C. Vaughan. This
latter variety looks to be a splendid
thing, though it needs a little more time
to fill out the blooms right.

The Pink Classes.

In flesh pink. Enchantress was the
only variety staged in the 100 class. This
variety is so well grown around Chicago
and in such quantity, it never fails to
make a fine show. In this color there
seems nothing in sight to displace it, so
far as this exhibition would indicate.
Sev»al varieties were shown in smaller
quantity, which will likely turn out to be
first-rate commercial sorts. Noteworthy
among th^se is Dorner's variety. De-
light. (I understand this name is to be
changed.) This is a smooth-edged vari-
ety, of beautiful build and fair size, and
has a texture which enables it to stand
rough handling. Knopf's Mrs. Charles
Knopf also looks good. In the main it
resembles Enchantress, but on closer ob-
servation it lacks some of its weaker
points and is equally strong in its good
points.

In the rose-pink class, Eose-pink En-
chantress Stands at the head again, with
Winsor coming up and Winona proving
itself a fine shipper and keeper, but un-
dersized in competition. Mr. Heacock's
variety in this color looks to be a splen-
did thing. At a first glance one might
suppose it to be a vase of Eose-pink
Enchantress, but a closer look proves
that it has a better form and a more
perfect calyx. No doubt it is a good
thing.

In dark pink, Aristocrat knocked the
persimmon, with Afterglow a close sec-
ond. A few vases of Mrs. Lawson
showed that, when well done, this variety
is still to be reckoned with.

Some of the Reds.

In red, O. P. Bassett led the way,
principally on account of its grand stem.
The bloom is good and has a good red
color; in fact, it is strong all around.
Beacon needs a few more weeks to take
on its proper form and color. Some nice
vases were shown. Victory was here in
fine shape, but, though strong in texture
and color, it lacks form and stem thus
early, Pres. Taf t is a full double flower,
which ought to be a good shipper. It
is of good size, with a good stem. Its
light red color suffers when placed along-
side of Victory.

Bertermann's James Whitcomb Eiley,
which is a pure yellow, made a nice ap-
pearance. An average commercial sized
bloom, of splendid color, with good form
and stem, always appeals to the grower.

The 100 blooms mixed proved quite an
attraction to many. The winning vase,
by Poehlmann Bros., was made up from
standard varieties, all in fine shape. More
interesting, however, was the vase of seed-
lings from Dorner's. This is a class in
which this firm is always strong with
the growers. They enjoy standing by
and dreaming of how, when this one or

that one comes out, they will surely get
in on it and make a hit. They have
wonderful visions of bud-laden benches,
producing blooms of the very top grade,
for which the trade will clamor aS never
before.

. ■?•■:'

The Seedlings*

In seedlings there are several which
give promise of being good, Apple Blos-
som is shown pure white, with good form,
stem and calyx. Georgia traveled in good
shape and reminds one much of Vesper,
being about the same size and build.
Hill's red has fine stems, fine color and
form, and fair size, A crimson from
the same firm looks good all around and
of average size. Euby has fine, large
blooms, and stands up nicely. A deep
pink from Zweifel looks like a splendid
thing. No, 108, A white. No. 36, from
Dorner's, has good size, form, calyx,
stem and texture, and looks a really good
thing. Their scarlet 175-06 is a fine,
bold, deeply fringed bloom, on a good
stem, and the color is fine. A pure yel-
low, of fine color, also looks good. A
mottled variety from the Chicago Car-
nation Co. made a beautiful appe9.rance,
much prettier than Prosperity, on ac-
count of the mottling being pink. Wan-
oka has a good crimson color, has a good
stem and looks nice.

The pot carnation Alvina, from H.
Eichholz, should appeal to every plant
grower. It makes an enormous plant and
throws its blooms in crops, enabling the
grower to get plants with many blooms
at one time.

The temperature and ventilation in the
hall are good and as most of the stock
looks in prime condition the carnation
show should be good for several days.

ROSE WM. R. SMITH.

I have noticed various items of late,
especially by Edwin Lonsdale, in regard
to the rose Wm. E. Smith, and as we
have grown this rose for the last four
years, possibly more extensively than any
other firm (having at present nearly 25,-
000 plants), I believe that a few more
words concerning its good qualities will
not come amiss. ,

Our possession of the Wm. E. Smith
rose was an accident. About four years
ago we purchased a quantity of roses
from the E. G, Hill Co., for field plant-
ing. For lack of space these were plant-
ed in a very poor place in the field. The

soil, too, was old rose soil. Needless to
say, the roses did not do well, but
among the lot we noticed four plants of
a different nature from the others, with
different foliage and different growth.
What the roses were we did not know,
but we lifted and potted them, propa-
gated all we could and have been grow-
ing them extensively and successfully
ever since. We called Mr. Hill's atten-
tion to the plants, and he immediately
told us they were Wm, E, Smith,

It is unquestionably the best summer
forcing and field rose we have ever seen.
It is the freest in every way, the strong-
est and most rampant grower of any
roses we have ever had, and the house in
which it is now planted looks like a jun-
gle. Its stems are stiff and strong, often
growing from three to four feet long
(we have it staked on 5-foot stakes). Its
foliage is as large as the Beauty's, its
color deeper than the Carnot's. It has

f^.wrwi^

November 12, 1908.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

3^

as much substance as the Beauty and
its flower is nearly as large. Tor us it
has never had the black spot, nor does it
mildew.

Give this rose the same treatment as
the Kaiserin, and it will make you ex-
cellent and better returns. As a field
rose it is a marvel, for it is just as good
a grower this way as under glass. The
last summer, with the worst drought we
have ever had, its growth was wonder-
ful— far better than that of the Cochet
or any other tea or hybrid tea in the
field; 2^-inch plants, planted in the
field the last week in May, are now large
bushes, two to three feet in height.

Its good qualities are many and its
bad ones few. In fact, we know of only
one fault — the flowers after the middle
■of November lose color, but what sum-
mer rose is good after this date?

We do not want to seem egotistical,
"but we believe this rose would have been
lost to the trade had we not discovered
its good qualities. The E. G. Hill Co.
at one time had practically all the stock,
and at the time we called their attention
to what a fine rose it was we believe they
had about discarded it as being of no
account.

A word about My Maryland. It is
•unquestionably a "korker." Killamey
will have to take a back seat when this
rose becomes better known.

VIOLETS FOR COLDFRAME.

Do you think I can raise violets suc-
<5es8fully in a hotbed under the follow-
ing conditions? The bed will be right
next to a building on the south side of
it and I thought of using heavy grade
plant bed cloth for covering. The frame
of the bed will be made of 1-inch boards
with sawdust between and the walls,
when completed, will be four or five
inches thick. Do you think Princess of
Wales the best variety to grow in a hot-
feed? I thought they were about as
hardy as any and they give as large
flowers and long stems as any variety,
do they not? If you would not advise
this variety, name some you think best
in singles and blue color. T. E. H.

Princess of Wales is decidedly the best
Tiolet to use for such a frame as you
-describe and there is no reason why they
should not succeed well under such con-
ditions. Let the soil be well manured,
*ir on all possible occasions in winter and,
as moldiness may set in if the plants
through severe weather and heavy snow
are closed up for a number of consecu-
tive days, pick them over occasionally.
You can hardly expect to pick many
flowers during winter, but after March 1
with increasing sunlight you will get a
heavy crop and they are always of a
■darker color than when grown with fire
heat. By keeping your board shutters.

A Bunch of Mums.

which should be used over the cloth, on
until late in the winter, you can prob-
ably have the crop in season for Easter,^^
a time when violets sell especially well.

BEST SINGLE VIOLET.

Will you kindly inform me as to the
relative merits in the market of the
different varieties of single violets? I
am a novice in the work, and have my
greenhouse filled with violets, so you will
understand that any information in re-
gard to the culture of violets will be
gratefully received. I. L. A.

Princess of Wales is by long odds the
best and most popular single violet in
America. There are some other sorts,
such as Luxonne, La France, Baron
Kothschild and California, but none are
as good all-round sorts as Princess of
Wales. A new variety, named Boston,
has recently been placed on the market.
It is a sport from Princess of Wales
and, it is claimed, is superior.

Single violets should be grown in
solid beds and be given a night temper-
ature as near 40 degrees as possible in
winter. It is a mistake to house them
before October. C. W.

BUNCH OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

The bunch illustrated, made of Major
Bonnaffon • chrysanthemums ancj autumn
leaves tied with ribbon, may be used on
sad occasions where rich coloring is ad-
missible. The flowers were all perfect
specimens, the foliage oak leaves. The
ribbon, ombre, shading from the flower*
color through the varied tinted foliage
colors, blended harmoniously. The bunch
shown was by Charles Henry, Fox, at
the Sign of the Rose, Philadelphia. It
also is used as a bunch for debutantes.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

NOTBMBEB 12, 1908.

MUZ'S HOOSIER HOME.

The business of L. E. Hitz, at Madi-
son, In*., was established by John G.
Hitz, the father of the present owner, as
far back as. 1872. The accompanying
illustration shows the present range of
glass, which includes 15,000 feet. The
business is retail and in this range of
glass nearly all the stock is grown that
is handled in the store, both plants and
cut flowers. As is usual in a town of
this size, Mr. Hitz handles everything
in the list, clear down to vegetable
plants, which are a considerable item of
the spring trade. He also has a large
planting of fruit trees, selling the fruit,
and a nursery in which there is a large
variety of small fruits, fruit trees and
ornamentals, in which a considerable
business is done.

Besides conducting his own business,
Mr. Hitz finds time to perform the many
public duties which fall to the lot of a
florist in a small city. He believes it is
the duty of everyone so located to make
himself generally useful and a benefit to
the community in which he lives. Some
of his outside activities are connected
with Springdale cemetery, of which he is
superintendent; the Madison Chautauqua
Association, of which he is director; the
Middleton Monument Board, to beautify
grounds, of which he is a member; the
Mite Building and Loan Association, of
which he is a director, and he holds mem-
bership in a number of fraternal so-
cieties.

EXPRESS ON FLOWERS.

Benjamin Hammond, chairman of the
legislative committee of the S. A. F.,
under date of November 4, addressed a
strong letter to J. H. Bradley, general
tra£Sc manager of the American Express
Co., setting forth in detail the claim of
the wholesale florists tbat cut flowers
should be included with the some twenty
other commodities packed with ice for
shipment, and for which an allowance of
twenty-five per cent of weight is allowed,
to cover the ice. He offered specific
evidence as to the volume of the traffic
and the conditions.

Under date of November 6 Mr. Brad-
ley replied as follows:

"I beg to acknowledge the receipt of
your favor of November 4 and I will at
once investigate the question of ice with

shipments of cut flowers. I had not sup-
posed that such shipments were being
made to any great extent where ice was
used for preservation.

"I am today making inquiry of our
agents at the principal cities referred to
in your letter, and will give you further
reply later.

"There is one point referred to in
your letter which I may as well say to
you now cannot be changed, and that is
the charge on returned empties. Our
classification always provided that re-
turned empties must be delivered at the
depot by the shipper and taken from the
depot by the consignee. We know that
our agents did not live up to the classi-
fication in this particular and they had
been picking up and delivering these
empties for certain patrons. Agents at
other points did not do so for any pa-
trons, and it constituted a discrimination
which we were obliged to overcome by
putting into effect a classification pro-
viding for an additional charge where
pick up and delivery service was ren-
dered. Shippers and consignees still
have the option of delivering the empties
at the depot, and calling at the depot for
them, in which case there is no addi-
tional charge made.

' * We must not lose sight, either, of the
fact that the transportation and deliv-
ery of cut flowers during extreme cold
or extreme heat, etc., calls for extra
service in many cases."

ST. PAUL.

The Market.

Trade has been good since the first of
the month. Social events are numerous,
and as flowers are now considered indis-
pensable for such occasions, the heart of
the florist is glad and his purse heavy.
There has also been a good demand for
funeral flowers, while shipping trade has
been excellent. There is no particular
shortage reported outside of lilies and
violets, which are somewhat short in
quantity and for which there has been a
heavy demand. Mums are coming in
quite freely and are in good demand.
Some 6f the growers in the Twin Cities
have been bothered with a green bug in
the buds, which has done considerable
damage.

Vaiioui Notes.

The national flower show has been the
chief topic of discussion in florist circles,
and a goodly number of Twin City root-
ers are in attendance at Chicago. We
expect to have a full report of their
doings at our next club meeting, which
will be held at Columbia hall, Merriam
park, Tuesday evening, November 17, at
8 o'clock. A. J. Smith will read a paper
on mums and J. P. Jorgenson will tell
us aU about the national show.

O. J. Olson, of this city, and G. A.
Clausen, of Albert Lea, have gone d6er
hunting in the northern part of the state.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business last week was reported as
fairly good in all lines and all are look-
ing for a steady increase from now on.
There waa quite a lot of work for social
affairs with the uptown florists and in
the downtown district a good deal of
funeral work and counter trade was re-
ported. Now that the election is over,
the florists' business should take a boom
to last throughout the season.

The wholesale houses were stocked up
pretty weU all of last week, with good
quality of stock in everything in season.
Chrysanthemums are selling well and es-
pecially so with fancy blooms. White
and Pink Ivory are good sellers. Car-
nations are abundant at all the houses,
with fair demand for all colors. Violets
are selling well and are looking better
each day. Boses, too, are plentiful, but
first-class stock always seUs well. Beau-
ties have been off crop of late. Lily of
the valley is of extra good quality and
plenty of it. Bulb stock has not yet
arrived, but Paper Whites and Eomans
should be in by next week.

Various Notes.

The free chrysanthemum show given
by the directors of the Missouri Botanic
Garden opened Monday, November 9, and
will last through the week. Superintend-
ent Irish and the students have been
busy all week preparing for the show,
which is being held in a big tent erected
for the occasion near the entrance of the
garden. All the plants are at their best.

Greenhouse Plant of the C. C Pollworth Co., Milwaukee*

The new fern, Nephrolepis Scholzeli,
which was exhibited by Henry Dreer and
won the Henry Shaw medal at the St.
Louis show last week, was greatly ad-
mired by all the florists and J. J. Karins,
the firm's representative who staged it,
took a great many orders from St. Louis
firms.

C. C. Sanders, chairman of the flower
show executive committee, is much
pleased with the paid attendance. He
says: "I don't believe we made any
money, but we did not lose any," and
that is saying a whole lot where previ-
ous shows have proven failures finan-
cially.

The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold
its regular monthly meeting November
12, for the first night meeting in the
Knights of Columbus hall, Grand avenue
and Olive street. The December meet-
ing will be held, as usual, in the after-
noon.

There is quite a delegation of St. Louis
florists in Chicago this week, attending
the national flower show.

The Ellison Floral Co. reports deco-
rating for a large reception at Alton,
111., November 11. They have been busy
all week with dinners at the St. Louis
Club. After the Alton affair Mrs. Elli-
son will visit Chicago to take a look at
the big show.

George Angermueller says business has
opened up good. Everything seems to
be in demand. Consignments of Beau-
ties and mums have been quite heavy all
week. He has just received a large ship-
ment of florists' supplies.

At C. A. Kuehn's last week stock of
all kinds was abundant and of extra good
quality in Beauties, carnations and
chrysanthemums. Ed Gerlach, the man-
ager, says the supply and wire depart-
ments have been busy.

The florists' bowlers bowled November
9 at the new De Soto Olive alleys, at
Olive and Vandeventer avenues. Presi-
dent Connon and Secretary Smith were
in Chicago, but the attendance was good
and some good scores were made by the
young bowlers. J. J. B.

THE POLLWORTH PLANT.

The accompanying illustration shows
the plant of the C. C. Pollworth Co., of

Milwaukee. This establishment has made
considerable growth in the last few years
and now consists of a range of twenty-
five large, modern houses, devoted to
roses, carnations, chrysanthemums and
aU varieties of palms and ferns. The
cut flowers are handled through the
downtown store and in addition to their
own cut, they also handle the cut of
some of the principal growers in their
vicinity. They enjoy a heavy shipping
trade through the northwest.

They also make a specialty of green-
house requisites and use their own es-
tablishment as a basis of experiment with
the goods they send out to their custom-
ers. Azaleas, as well as Christmas and
Easter flowering plants, cold storage val-
ley and lilies, are likewise grown in quan-
tity by them.

BOSTON.
The Market.

• With the single exception of roses,
which are selling better at advanced
prices, the cut flower trade is still far
from satisfactory. The quantity of ma-
terial arriving is simply more than the
market can gorge, and prices ruled low
on chrysanthemums and carnations laat
week. With the early passing of mums
an improvement may come. It is cer-
tainly much wanted.

Roses show a decided hardening tend-
ency and the supply has fallen off. All
varieties have shared in a moderate ad-
vance, the greatest improvement being in
the standard sorts, such as Beauty, Rich-
mond and Killarney. A few White Kil-
larney are seen. Another year this prom-
ises to be the leading white.

Carnations are far too abundant still.
Whites sell the slowest. Sales of these
at $5 per thousand last week attest the
condition of the market, some going even"
lower.

Violets are not yet overabundant and
move fairly well. There is still an ava-
lanche of chrysanthemums, but another
week should see a falling off in receipts,
some growers being almost cut out.

A few Roman hyacinths and Paper
White narcissi are seen, but are not in
much request yet. Liliums are good, as
Id lily of the valley. Candytuft is of

s-ow sale. Some cosmos is still coming
in, chiefly Lady Lenox. This variety
flowers too late to suit growers as a rule.
Adiantum is good and Asparagus
Sprengeri and plumosus are of excellent
quality.

Various Notes.

At the next meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club, November 17,
Eber Holmes, of Montrose Greenhouses,
will read a paper on "How We Can Im-
prove Our Club." Nominations of offi-
cers for the ensuing year wiii be made,
reports of the national flower show will
be heard and much other business trans-
acted.

By the will of George Francis Park-
man the sum of $5,000,000 is left for
the support of the Boston parks. The
interest, some $200,000, will make many
improvements possible. This is the larg-
est bequest Boston has ever had for park
purposes.

Visitors to the chrysanthemum show
were numerous. Among those noted
from a distance were G. F. Struck, New
York; H. Hurrell, Summit, N. J.; T. W.
Head, Groton, Conn.; F. C. Green and
T. McCarthy, Providence, R. I.; F.
Heeremans, Lenox, Mass.; J. J. Karins,
with H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia.

H. H. Barrows & Son have worked up
a fine stock of their new fern, Nephrol-
epis magnifica, to be introduced in 1909.
It promises to be even better than Whit-
mani.

Mann Bros, are marketing good Ro-
man hyacinths and Paper Whites. They
have an unusually fine lot of lilies, of
which latter they are large growers.

Five magnificent specimen chrysanthe-
mums destined for the late Boston show
and grown by Mr. Spiers, John E. Par-
sons' skillful gardener in Lenox, aver-
aged eight feet in diameter and could
not be gotten into the baggage car at
Pittsfield, so they had to be left behind.
The plants, being trained on wire frames,
could not be tied together.

The annual business session of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society will
occur November 14. Polls will be open
from 12 to 4, for the election of direct-
ors and other officers.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Incokpokated by Act of Congbess March 4, '01

Officers for 1008: President, F. H. Traendly,
New York J vice-president, G'eorge W. McClure,
Buffalo; secretary, Willis N. Rudd, Morgan
Park, 111.; treasurer, H. B. Beatty, Pittsburg.

Officers for 1909: President, J. A. Valentine,
Denver, Colo.; vice-president, B. G. Gillett,
Cincinnati, O.; secretary, Willis N. Rudd, Mor-
gan Park, 111.; treasurer, H. B. Beatty, Pitts-
burg.

Annual convention, Cincinnati, 0., August 19
to 22, 1909.

With this issue, the Eeview celebrates
the completion of its eleventh year.

Pay fair prices, and ask them, and
insist on a fair article in each transac-
tion.

The only kind of business that is
worth having is founded on giving satis-
faction to one's customers.

You often can tell what quality of
stock is in a greenhouse by a glance at
the grounds surrounding it.

You will get out of your business just
about what you put into it; nothing
worth while is to be had without well
directed effort.

When one can buy a season's supply
of printed letter-heads for 75 cents it
seems strange that so many growers and
small florists still write their business
letters on the children's school pads.

Pity the poor express companies! The
annual report of the "U. S. " shows only
$37,734 profit from operation in the year
just passed. But income from invest-
ments was suflScient to maintain the reg-
ular dividend.

One of the reasons why a florist is
entitled to a good profit from his busi-
ness is that in the majority of cases his
residence is not over twenty feet from
the greenhouses and not even in his sleep
is he free from the care of the stock.

Canterbury bells are easily forced
when in pots and well established. They
should bo kept in cool frames until the
time arrives for inciting them into
growth. Campanulas are gross feeders
and will respond generously when they
are given ample room and plenty of nu-
triment.

When the early flowering chrysanthe-
mums are cut from benches, sweet peas
that are growing in pots may be planted
in their place, without much preparation
of the soil. Sweet peas are often a good
crop when grown in that way, and are
especially useful to the grower who is
also a retail florist.

OBITUARY.

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew GroU.

4.ndrew Groll and his wife, Katherine,.
died within a few hours of each other^
October 30, at their home in East Will-
iamsburg, N. Y., and were buried to-
gether on the following Monday. Mr.
Groll died of pneumonia shortly after
noon. Mrs. Groll, who had been suffer-
ing from consumption for many months
and was now a helpless invalid, gave^
directions for her husband's funeral as
she lay in bed. Just three hoiirs after
her husband's death, she also, passed
away. Mr. Groll 's age was 63 and Mrs.
Groll 's 48. They are survived by five
children. Mr. Groll was one of the-
oldest florists in the East Williamsburg^
cemetery section.

Leroy L. Crocker.

Leroy L. Crocker, a pioneer California
horticulturist, died near Loomis, Placer
Co., October 30, a victim of heart dis-
ease, from which he had suffered' for
many years. Mr, Crocker was 70 years
of age. He leaves two daughters and
one son. His grounds at his late hom&
consist of over 1,000 acres, more than
half of which was planted to fruit trees^
vines and shrubbery, while the balance
was maintained as an experiment farm
and pleasure park. He leaves an estate
valued at half a million dollars.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS^

Name of Hydrangea.

The following statement is made in
response to some inquiries, and to settle-
some apparent misunderstandings, regard-
ing the name of the hydrangea registered
by the E. G. Hill Co. July 21, 1906, as
Hydrangea arborescens alba grandiflora:

Professor Sargent, after consideration,
decided that the proper name for this va-
viety was Hydrangea arborescens grandi-
flora forma nova. The registration was
corrected to that effect, and the latter is
the name accepted and recognized by this
society. W. N. Kudd, Sec'y.

November 3, 1908.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The facts of supply and demand have
been lost sight of this week by the event
of the year — the national flower show.
More visitors have been in town than at
any other one time in the history of the
market and everyone has been busy —
shaking hands.

There was not much business the latter
part of last week. The shipping demand
far eclipsed the local trade, and even the
former was light. This week business
has continued on the quiet side, as it
always is when any special event is on.
Shipping is fair, but not up to what it
should be, or even up to what it was at
the end of October. Local trade is dull.
The retailers who have entered at the
show have used only trifling quantities of
the choice stock and less attention than
usual has been given to pushing the local
retail trade, so prices on the miscellane-
ous lots that have to be cleaned up, have
sunk rather than risen.

There has as yet been no influx of the
late varieties of chrysanthemums and
strictly fancy stock is not overabundant.
There is call for Eaton and the market
looks for a revival in general demand

We have the Grade of Stock required for shipping— and

we have it in quantity— so

LET US GET TOGETHER EOR

THANKSGIVING

All buyers can call on us with the certainty that they are drawing upon the largest supply of
uniformly good stock in the west. We have everything the season affords — but we have only on©
idea, and that is to handle every flower received as it should be handled, and so keep on gaining
new support while retaining the old. If you are not a customer, let's get together. :: :: ::

CARNATIONS

Finest stock in largest quantity. That's enough
said. " The proof of the pudding is in the eating."
Try it — right now, for Thanksgiving, or any time.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

Our stock is the kind the trade wants. Large supply
of each grade of the fine late varieties and also a fine
lot of Pompons— these are good sellers. All colors.

BEAUTIES

Oar Beauties are so good they almost sell them-
selves—if shipping orders don't take them, city
buyers snap them up. Better get your order in.

VIOLETS

There is no house in the west that is pushing violets
any harder than we are — and we ceitainly are get-
ting the stock. Our supply of the Cream of the
Hudson river doubles is very large and we have fine
Home-grown singles. Our stock for Thanksgiving
will be especially good — and moderate in price.

VALLEY

We handle the finest valley in Chicago and have
practically unlimited quantity.

as soon as the good late varieties can be
offered in quantity.

There is an abundance of roses and
the quality has improved steadily since
good weather came. Killarney is fine and
there are some magnificent Richmond.
These latter are selling a little better
than they did. Bride and Maid are get-
ting toward midwinter quality, but
prices have not advanced in keeping with
the improvement, although the weak-
er stock still is hard to move. Such varie-
ties as Kate Moulton, Jardine and other
specialties are selling fairly well. Beauty
would be scarce if there were any de-
mand.

Carnations are in somewhat larger sup-
ply And are improving in quality. The
demand hardly has kept pace. There
appears to have been a considerable in-
crease in the use of violets as a result
of the good quality and low prices. Fully
as great quantities as ever reached this
market in November are now coming in
and they are cleaned up each day, al-
though at lower prices than the growers
would like. However, some of the whole-
salers think they are averaging as good
a return as last year, at this date, which,
if true, is more than can be said of
other flowers.

Sweet peas are slightly more plentiful.
There is an abundance of valley, lilies
and such other stock as is seasonable.
No change in the market for green goods.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is only a fortnight away
and the wholewders are beginning prepa-
rations for it. Thanksgiving amounts
to about two good Saturdays and stock
promises to be so plentiful this year that

the wholesalers are booking orders freely,
having every assurance that they can fill
them.

Growers should be cautioned that if
stock is held back next week, the result
will be a slump at Thanksgiving, while
if each day 's cut is sent in as ready there
should be a fair market November 23
and 24.

Qttb Meeting.

There was a good attendance at the
club meeting at the Union November 5.
The special feature was the election of
twenty-five new members, as follows:
Charles Swanson, William Meyerlus, M.

mers, A. Iralson, M. Mielander, Joseph
Kohout, J. A. Valentine, Peter Schons-

Shimanek, Henry L. Seitz, Charles Ar-
nold, Joseph Bieber, Frank Johnson, W.
W. Abrahamson, Frank Kadlec, Emil
Fransen and John Prickett.

The club appropriated $100 for a
ladies' night December 8.

President Kill appointed H. N. Bruns,
E. F. Winterson and F. F. Benthey as a
committee to bring in nominations for
new officers at the December meeting.

A number of visitors were present and
brief addresses were made by J. A. Val-
entine, W. F. Kasting, H. E. Philpott
and others.

Joseph Bauler, who formerly was fore-
man at the Guardian Angel Orphan Asy-

twelve lots has been owned at Park
Ridge and recent assessments for public
improvements caused them to conclude to
sell it. Vacant, it was slov^ sale, so a
cottage was built on one lot. This sold
quickly, so another is going up.

H. N, Bruns says that a good many
people who used to buy cut valley in this
market are now forcing it for them-
selves. He has standing orders from a
considerable number of them for regular
weekly shipments of pips from cold stor-
age. Mr. Bruns says he was short on
valley all summer, but now that he has
his new house up he is able to maintain a
constant supply in this market.

The name of Zech & Mann was inad-
vertently omitted last week in stating the
places where trade tickets to the flower
show can be had in quantity. John Zech
is a member of the committee and, as all
the members get for handling the sale is
the advertising they get through it, he
is entitled to mention.

George M. Garland says he has re-
ceived a great deal of correspondence
about his sectional concrete bench, but
that orders for molds are slow in coming
in, in spite of the fact that sectional
benches should be made in winter to be
ready when wanted.

R. R. Jampolis, a stockholder in and
attorney of Kennicott Bros. Co., is as-

He has just prepared an opinion affecting

side, which has attracted much attention.

Wietor Bros, say that their Beauties

George Reinberg's new ice-box is in.

NEVYORK.

The Market

Business was much improved at the
end of last week. Though prices held
barely steady, the cleaning-up at fair
figures was most encouraging. "With
the great evidences of prosperity ram-
pant in every commercial line, the thrill
of better times for the florists' busi-
ness cannot be long delayed. In fact,
it is already in evidence and the re-
newal of confidence and hope can be felt
by anyone visiting the wholesale district
and capable of seeing the signs of the
times. In the early morning market
Saturday the crowd was the largest and
most persistent since Decoration day.
Everything was abundant and prices
were called encouraging and satisfac-
tory. The first reduction in the chry-
santhemum flood is now observable and
still prices are far below the corre-
sponding weeks of 1907; $3 per dozen
buys the best of them. Few of the
prize varieties and sizes are shipped to
the general market. The few novelties
that are spared from the exhibitions
naturally bring fancy prices and land
directly in the best stores. The horse
show is on this week. Its influence
should be felt in the orchid section.
Society shows its marked preference for
this, and the gardenia. Prices should
show an immediate advance for all the
varieties of orchids now arriving, the
November weddings growing in numbers
daily. AH the best retailers are get-
ting a share of them.

Eoses have also begun their upward
march. Killarney grows in popularity.
The White Killarney, especially, is in de-
mand, with inadequate supply. Ameri-
can Beauties touched 30 cents Saturday
and will march on to 50 cents, with
no recession in sight before Thanks-
giving. By the time the holiday ar-
rives the whole market will demonstrate
its life in the same way securities have
risen in the financial district, and flo-
rists cannot fail to find benefit in the
prosperity of the men who are really
the foundation of its growth and con-
tinuance, the men who make money rap-
idly in Wall street.

Carnations advance slowly, but their
day is coming. Stems are longer, qual-
ity better. Watch them join the pro-
cession. Everything else quoted in the
cut flower line holds well at present
rates, except the modest violet; 40 cents
was top, with rare exceptions, all last
week. Late on Saturday the demand
for once exceeded the supply, and as high
as 50 cents was demanded. This even
looks low when the quotations from other
cities are noted. In quality they are
not yet at their best. Last year 75
cents was the figure. With the bet-
ter times and brighter prospects, the
big football game and the influence of
two big flower shows in the meantime,
one violet expert prophesies they will
touch $1 again before the turkey is
king. Single violets are popular on

Fifth avenue. Alex. McConnell carries
a larg^ stock of them and finds a ready
sale.

The demand for wild smilax grows.

lions of them stored.

The motion of Secretary Young to
shange the by-laws, po that $50 instead

of $75 be the payment for life member-
ship in the club, after an interesting dis-
cussion was unanimously approved.
Messrs. Traendly, Young, Weathered and
Hallock made application for life mem-
bership.

Mr. Weathered dilated upon his pet
project, a permanent home for the club,
and the wisdom of adding the funds re-
ceived for life membership to the fund
in its behalf. Mr. Traendly moved that
the matter of the life membership re-
ceipts and their use be left in the hands
^jof the board of trustees.

I»etters from Benj. Hammond concern-
ii.g express rates and from the general
manager of the express company were

Mr. Traendly gave an interesting ac-
count of the national flower show, hav-
ing just returned from Chicago. He said
the exhibition was well worth the trip
and that the large plant growers from
the east had done nobly. Mr. Bunyard
moved the club send a congratulatory
telegram to the secretary of the national
society, which was heartily endorsed by
all. A. L. Miller moved sending a tele-
gram of congratulation to Mayor Breit-
meyer, of Detroit. The club also con-

Various Notes.

The New York representation at the
national flower show was not as large
as anticipated, but, no doubt, the select
few will give a good account of them-
selves and return with many helpful
suggestions for our own big exhibition
next week at the Museum of Natural
History, where great crowds are expect-
ed. Several of the leading retailers have
announced their intention of exhibiting
table decorations, bouquets, etc. Prop-
erly advertised, there is no doubt of an
enormous attendance. This week the
preliminary exhibition will take place at
the American Institute building, much
too small for either exhibits or attend-
ance.

The Violet Growers' Protective Asso-
ciation has been formed at Rhinebeck, to
further the general interests of the in-
dustry. The violet train was delayed on
Tuesday and some inconvenience result-
ed. The horse show has helped demand.
Special hundreds sold for $1.

The New York Retail Florists' Asso-
ciation will be formed at a meeting this
week. A meeting was called at the Savoy
for November 11.

J. J. Cotsonas is enlarging his store.

The Weigel stock was auctioned No-
vember 11.

William Swayne, of Kennett Square,
Pa., is in town.

The Florists' Club's smoker, Novem-
ber 18, will be attended by a host of
visiting gardeners and florists, who will
be in the city attending the flower show.
There is room and welcome for all. Out-
of-town florists are advised to make their

New York visit convenient for the en-
joyment of this splendid reunion. Chair-
man Rickards has a great musical pro-
gram. Among the singers will be George
Clarke, of Portland, Ore., one of the
firm of Clarke Bros. Mr. Clarke is a
tenor robusto of rare ability and will
have two numbers on the program. He
is here with his sister, completing his
musical education.

The auction sales at Elliott's continue
to draw good crowds, and the big im-
portation of hardy stock is going rap-
idly. The end of the month wiU see the
auction marts closed for the season.

Nurserymen in this vicinity have been
especially favored in closing up their
fall shipments. Perfect planting weather
has made this a record season with all
of them. Bobbink & Atkins are still
digging and shipping every day. The
development in the nursery department
of their business has been phenomenal.

Ambrose Cleary has an enormous im-
portation of evergreens, boxwoods, roses,
shrubs and rhododendrons in the big
store of the Cleary Horticultural Co., on
Vesey street, and at the annex around
the corner. Sales by auction every Tues-
day and Friday continue. A catalogue
has been issued by the firm, and heavy
shipments are made out of town daily.
There will be little left by Thanks-
giving.

Mr. Kessler, of Schumacher & Kessler,

known cut flower wholesaler.

terests of the trade now located at
Twenty-sixth street. The new building
will be seven stories, with ample space
for concentration of many branches of
the business.

Bonnet & Blake's new store, at 130
Livingston street, Brooklyn, is up-to-date
in size, ice-bbx, lights and all conveni-
ences, including a fine office. Mr. Blake
says it is an ideal headquarters. The
old store is to be turned into a first-
class retail place, handsomely mirrored
and improved. The lieutenant for James
Mallon's Sons for many years will open
there in a few days.

A movement is on foot by the New
York retailers, with a view to forming
a society on the lines on which the
Brooklyn organization was created some
months ago. Joseph Leikens is one of
the leading spirits in the project.

Russin & Hanfiing are now receiving
their large importation of immortelles
and baskets. "Prices lower," Mr. Han-
fling says, "than last season — good de-
mand for Thanksgiving trade."

H. Kenney, of Brooklyn, reports a
great fall demand for his supply spe-
cialties, wire designs and moss. The
firm will soon build a large storage ware-
house and factory on its Flatbush prop-
erty.

Eighty-third street and Broadway quite
out of the ordinary, with birch . bark.

The Riling Eastern Market.

There is a perceptible improvement in
the cut flower market since the people
decided upon their first magistrate for
the coming four years. Whether the im-
provement is due to that decision, or to
the fact that outdoor flowers have dis-
appeared even further south than here,
will be left to our readers to decide. The
improvement is here, and is gratifying,
but it is by no means so pronounced as
to cause flowers of ordinary grades to
bring prices that one cares to talk about
to one's neighbor. Prices continue low
for all but the finest flowers. Carna-
tions, for example, are so plentiful that
the wholesale houses are glad to sell
them at prices that would be scorned
were it not for the certainty that the
stream of flowers would soon swamp the
market were listed quotations depended
upon to move all the stock.

Chrysanthemums are less plentiful than
a week ago, or at any rate they seem
less plentiful, the demand being about
sufficient to take all that reach town
in salable condition. There has. been no
advance in prices, although a few se-
lect Chadwick are reported as having
been sold at $4 a dozen. The yellow
Mrs. Jerome Jones is an important fac-
tor, the white variety not being so plenti-
ful. Mrs. Hurley, er;..neously classed
among the whites last week, should have

News
Column

The retail buyers of cut flowers
demand a great v'aiiety of stock.
They are always looking for some-
tfung different from what they had
before. It will pay you to carry an
assortment of cut flowers, so that you
can offer your trade something which
cannot be had every day in the year.
Below we give you a few of the
specials we arc offering:

BOUVARDIX

red. As a suggestion, for instance,
it would make a very attractive cen-
ter piece* Your customer would
think it something out of the ordinary.

A very fine strain of unusual merit.
Most all bright colors. Nothing like
them in quality is being offered
elsewhere.

We can supply them in pink and

this time of the season^ exceptionally
fine.

COMiNG-OUT TE^

We can offer you plenty of fine Chrysanthemums; the large flowered varieties and the
little pompoms, which are very popular this season. The extraordinary values which we
have been able to give you are not likely to be continued next week, as the height of the
chrysanthemum season has been reached. We would suggest that you give your customers
especially good value next week in Carnations; the Lawson, Enchantress and Winsor shades
of pink give an excellent variety from which to choose, all are very fine, also the whites
and scarlets. Another suggestion is Bouvardia, which makes a beautiful center-piece, most
appropriate for a debutante tea-table. We also ask you to remember our fancy single
Violets, which have large flowers and long stems, and another specialty suitable for
decorating, Wild Smiiax.

Your orders will receive our prompt attention.

been among the yellows. Eosette is an
addition to the list of pinks. Nearly all
the sorts named last week are still im-
portant factors.

Orchids have been strengthened by
the addition of Vanda caerulea, a lovely
shade of blue. Cattleya labiata has last-
ed until the first trianse are with us.
Oncidiums have stiffened perceptibly.

A noticeable feature in the rose mar-
ket is the improvement in Bride and
Bridesmaid, both varieties being fully
equal to shipping requirements today.
Brides have been in demand. Valley has
been selling better for some time past.
Lilies are in over-supply. Single violets
are fine. Their size, stem, and fragrance
warrant their being pusaed by the best
of the local buyers. Marie Louise dou-
bles are becoming more popular, and in
the course of a week or two will un-
doubtedly take a prominent place on the
list. The rest of the list requires little
special mention, beyond saying that gar-
denias continue scarce, that valley is a
shade livelier, and that there is a fair
demand for Asparagus plumosus in
bunches.

November Qub Meeting.

It is election night and there are va-
cant chairs visible all over the room, but
the attendance is fair, with many of
the leading members in their accustomed
places. There is a lively debate in prog-
ress. It is a question of finance, and a
question that has been agitated before
and probably will be agitated many
times again. But the interest never
flags, new views being ably presented as
the speakers warm to their work.

While the debate is in progress there
is time for a glance over the personnel
of the meeting. President Hahman is
in the chair, his pleasant smile and force-
ful use of the gavel presiding and com-
manding by turn. He is a master both
of persuasion and of command, and gen-
erally manages to control the situation
at the most critical times. When for a
moment excitement waxes high and
Babel ensues, he quietly bides his time,

regaining leadership while the combat-
ants pause for breath. On his left sits
Secretary Bust, ready with every scrap
of information desired. His reading of
tl;e minutes and reports is clear and
expressive. Next to him at the table in
the corner is the treasurer, George Craig,
never heard in debate, yet powerful in
his silent command of the purse strings.

On the seats facing the chair are the
supporters of the government and the
opposition, mixed indiscriminately, ex-
cept that the government finds its read-
iest speakers on the front benches,
where the members who have been mem-
bers since the first organization of the
Florists' Club are generally seen. Fore-
most among them is William K. Harris,
a fluent speaker, on whom every presi-
dent has relied for an intelhgent opinion,
couched in good, common sense language,
and has never relied in vain, even when
the knottiest questions were before the
bouse. Mr. Harris' forte lies in terse
expression, embellished by homely simile,
often humorous, reminding one of Abra-
ham Lincoln. Near him is John West-
cott, an acknowledged leader of the
house when action is demanded. Mr.
Westcott has a taking way of putting
things that appeals to men of all shades
of opinion; an admirer once described
him as the most natural man on the
floor. Near him sits Edward Eeid, an
invaluable member of the government,
because when the tangle is most hope-
less he keeps his head, unraveling the
twists with calm deliberation.

The opposition varies with the ques-
tion; there are a few members who are
always in the opposition, a number who
are generally in the opposition, and a
great many who are sometimes in the
opposition.

In the center of the room, just back
of the ministerial seats, Adolph Faren-
wald rises to address the chair. Mr,
Farenwald is vehement, giving each word
its full force. He says what he means
and means all he says. Whether the
ranks of the opposition are behind him
in unbroken lines or whether he is alone
in what he says, matters little to him.

He is never fazed; an invaluable mem-

left is a young man, neat and jaunty in
appearance, v?ho has lately come over
into the government ranks. He has
named the vice-president, no small honor
for a yo'mg man these days, and is
chairman of an important committee.

"Mr. President," he is saying, "money
is the grease that makes the wheels of
progress run smoothly; without that
grease the axle creaks, progress is slow. ' '
The house is with him. This is Charles
H. Grakelow.

There are some other speakers on both
sides of the chamber, and many who

prefer to remain listeners, of more than
local repute ; men whose names are house-
hold words in circles floricultural and
whose doings and sayings are frequently
chronicled in these columns. But the
chairman is calling his motion to ad-
journ and the ayes have it.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club met November 3,
and notwithstanding the fact that it
was election day, there was a large crowd
present. President BurKi was absent
on account of illness and John Jones
acted as chairman. As there was a com-
petitive display, the chair appointed the
following judges: T. P. Langhans,
Robert Lilley and John Peatherstone,
who awarded prizes as follows:

Sir cut chr.TSantbemum blooms, Mr. Price,
gardener for J. B. Laugblin, first on Bright-
hurst; David Fraser, gardener for H. C. Frlck,
second on F. S. Vallls.

Twelve chrysanthemum blooms, one of each,
Mr. Prince first, Paul M. Madses, gardener to
R. H. Boggs, second; Mr. Jenkins, gardener to
A. R. Peacock, third.

Specimen plant, Mr. Price first on Garza.

Honorable mention, Mr. Price for vase of
Mme. Perrln, grown In bunches the same as
pompons.

Among other things shown were a
vase of Beatrice May by Mrs. Madsen
and a fine plant of Mary Richards, pom-
pon, by Mr. Price.

Mr. Weisenbach, gardener for R. B.
Mellam, exhibited plants and flowers of
chrysanthemums which he grows out-
doors and in frames, which were much
better than the average stock grown un-
der glass, and for which he received
many compliments.

Schenley park, John Jones foreman,
exhibited cut blooms of nearly a score
of mums. This stock was fine, and
the fact that Mr. Jones as foreman of
Schenley park cannot compete at the
shows, resulted in Henry Negley takiflg
the floor, and after stating that he has
been visiting all the best pJaces in this
country and Europe, including the public
conservatories in eastern and western
cities, he finds that as a grower he has
failed to meet Mr. Jones' superior and
rarely his equal as an all-around plants-
man. Mr. Falconer being called to the
chair, a motion was made that a com-
mittee be appointed to arrange for a
gratuity to be tendered Mr. Jones on be-
half of the club. The call for remarks
brought forth some of the most compli-

There was some comment as to the
advisability of growing chrysanthemums
in bunches rather than single flowers, se-
liecting the sorts that do well, as private
gardeners report their people prefer the
smaller plants for decorations.

the state of Wisconsin leads with the supply,
we noake it our business to keep thoroughly
posted.

From October 19 to November 1 we
covered the entire Bouquet Green districts
and we can guarantee full delivery on any
accepted order, with absolute certainty.

Forest fires included vast destruction of Bouquet Green
in our former best districts. Deer hunting commenced
November 10, and a snow storm at any unexpected

moment will have telling effects on the supply and price, but our acceptance of an order assures
you of full delivery under any circumstances. 700 crates we shipped last year.

every order placed in our care. Further delays with your order may prove a loss to you.

NE V BEDFORD. MASS.

The cut flower trade is quiet just now,
with an abundance of flowers coming in.

Saturday and Sunday, November 7
and 8, the greenhouses of H. H. Eogers,
of Fairhaven, were thrown open to the
public. There was a grand showing of
mums and other plants. Fairhaven is
across the river from New Bedford.

S. J. Donaghy, formerly gardener at
the Taber estate, has started in business
for himself. The other week his friends
presented him with a new delivery wagon,
this being in the nature of a great sur-
prise to him.

F. C. Covil is now with J. W. How-
ard, of Somerville. W. L.

and we obtain more information from it
than from all other papers. — ^W. H.

EVANSVILLE,IND.

The Market.

- "business is good. Everybody seems
to be busy. All Saints' day caused a
good cleaning out of all stock on hand.
Since then trade has been good. There
seems to be about enough of roses, car-
nations and mums to meet the demand.

Various Notes.

Julius Niednagel arrived home, from
a trip to Germany, on election day. He
was just in time to cast his vote. He
found everything at his greenhouses in
good shape. The roses and carnations
are looking fine here.

Ben Kramer finds business good. He
is selling lots of muifis.

Eoyston & Fenton are receiving mums
and carnations from W. J. Eitterskamp,
of Princeton, Ind. E. L, F.

HouLTON, Me. — Harold Chadwick, who
recently erected a gteenhouse on High
street, has now opened a downtown stand
in French's.

BntMiNQHAM, Ax^. — John A. Lambert,
formerly superinterldent of parks at Chat-
tanooga, Tenn., is now manager for John
L. Parker, the florist of this city.

A STUNT FOR LUTHER.

"No other name
To BuEbank's fame

Could ever bold a candle,
If that wise gent
Would but invent

A melon with a handle."

Practically all vine seeds are worth
good money this year.

Beans are turning out fully as light
a crop has been anticipated.

Onion seed is not of so great interest
as it was at this date a year ago.

Reports are to the effect that both
bouquet green and holly will be of good
quaUty and plentiful this year.

Sweet corn will be, with few excep-
tions, probably equal to the demand and
of much better quality than last year.

Oliver Bell, who is in charge of the
interests of the Laughlin Seed Co., San
Jose, Cal., at Kenton, O., states that they
grow onion seed only, no sets, in Ohio.

G. B. McVay says that the seed and
plant business in Birmingham, Ala., has
increased twenty-five per cent as the re-
sult of the "city beautiful" movement
there.

The work of pricing the retail cata-
logues is rendered easier by the whole-
sale lists that are coming to hand, but
these latter discourage any idea of ad-
vancing prices in proportion to the shojt-
ages on the scarcest items.

The com crop of the United States
will surpass expectations. The average
yield will be 26.2 bushels per acre, indi-
cating a total production of 2,642,687,-
000, or over 50,000,000 bushels in excess
if last year's yield, according to the
preliminary estimates announced in the
government crop report for November,
issued November 9. The yield per acre
in 1907 was 25.9, as finally estimated,
and averaged 25.6 for ten years.

BEST SHELF JARS FOR SEED.

Please let me know from whom I
C£.n buy seed bottles suitable for carry-
ing all kinds of garden seed on the
shelf, to dispense for the retail.

J. E. F.

The most economical and practical
bottle for this purpose is the Mason jar,
in quart or pint sizes, as desired. With
a good lithographed label on them, they
look well on the shelf, and they are
safe, owing to the firm fitting cover,
which is 80 easily removed and screwed
on again. For display only, the globe-
shaped bottle is the proper thing, but
it is of no value when dispensing seed is

PLACE TO BUY SEEDS.

The Rural New-Yorker has been one
of the most insistent of the farm papers
in its demand that seedsmen guarantee
the seeds they sell,, and even the slight
modification of its views as indicated in
the editorial published October 17 will
be appreciated by the trade. The refer-
ence is as follows:

' ' The seed business stands alone in the
fact that no absolute guarantee is given
by the dealers. If we buy seeds we know
before we plant them that the dealer will
not be responsible for the crop. In
Maryland, and we think in some other
states, efforts have been made to pass a
seeds law based on the principles of the
fertilizer laws, but it is not likely that
any court could compel the seedsmen to
guarantee varieties. The character of
the seedsmen therefore becomes of even
greater importance than in the case of
fertilizer manufacturers. There are a
number of seed houses which have for
many years conducted an honorable
trade. They do their best to secure
stong and vital seed — true to name.
Since, from the present nature of the
seed trade, no positive guarantee will be
given, the safest plan is to deal only with
those firms who are most conservative in
their statements and have a reputation
for fsdr dealing."

BULB GROWING IN HOLLAND.

Consul-general S. Listoe, of Rotter-
dam, makes the following interesting,
though perhaps somewhat prejudiced,
statements in regard to the rapidly grow-
ing Dutch bulb trade:

"An industry characteristic of the
Netherlands is the growing of tulip and
hyacinth bulbs. Attempts have been
made in several parts of the world to
grow these, but nowhere can the experi-
ment be said to have been successful, as
the proper kind of soil for the propaga-
tion of perfect bulbs seems only to ex-
ist in the small space of territory be-
tween the cities of Leyden and Haarlem.
This stretch of country is in reality the
bottom of the old Haarlem Sea (Haar-
lemmer Meer), which was laid dry about
the year 1852, and this sea-bottom soil,
a combination of sand and decomposed
vegetables and plants, appears to be the

GRAND NEW ROSE "SPORT"

Tbe rtrst Pure Yellow China Rose

CHIN CHIN CHINS

This grand novelty "sported" from MMK. KUGKNK RE8AL. It produces clear sul-
phur-yellow flowers which retain their color to the last. The way in which the color lasts is
the great feature of the Rose: old blooms just on the point of dropping from the tree being
as deep in color as the unfolded and pointed buds. In this respect it is so much superioi to
the Tea Roses in the same color. It is perpetual flowering and is highly recommended for
decorative an-i bedding purposes. The ' sport" originated with us three years ago. In a large
breadth of HiHE. EUGENE RE8AL, and as we have in the meantime worked a large stock of
it. we are able to offer at a low price. Each, $1.00, 8 for $2.50, 6 (or $4.50, 12 (or $7.50.

The Market

^^^

The market has dropped to a low
point. Tuesday saw the counters of
the Exchange loaded with stock of all
kinds, especially mums and roses, and
a thin rank of buyers in attendance; all
this in the face of a season replete with
unusually brilliant social functions. No
one ventures a prediction as to the im-
mediate future. The prolonged autumn
weather has had much to do with the
situation, and the products of growers
might be considered prolific. Prices are
overlooked until a clearing out is impera-
tive. Ordinary concessions do not seem
to influence demands.

The chrysanthemum naturally leads at
this time, and, on the whole, prices are
far below last season's prices. With an
influx of roses greater than the market
can absorb, there is considerable sacri-

Lycoris Squamiger^

A ■wjr '*^^' : . t ■ OF AJLryUis HalUi. i^> ,; ■ : :J:'.y\, I'^.^W^
A perfectly Hardy Amaryllis, producins: beautiful pink flowers.

DCSCRIPTION:— Lycoris Squamlgera produces In early spring attractive green
foliage which grows until July, when it ripens off and disaopears, and one not familiar with
its habits would think the bulb had died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower
stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel of large and
beautiful lily-shaped flowers, 3 to 4 inches across and from 8 to 12 in number, of a delicate
lilac-pink, shaded with clear blue.

CDLTURK:— As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any protection, it can be planted
either in the fall or spring, but we consider fall the best time, as the bulbs will have splendid
chance to get established before flowering time. Cover the crown about 4 inches.

Very useful for the hardy border or among shrubbery.

ficing of these flowers. Carnations are
plentiful and dragging; prices are not
a factor. Present prospects are not par-
ticularly rosy.

Variottc Notes.

J. Otto Thilow, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
gave an illustrated lecture on the Yellow-
stone Park and Puget Sound, on Monday
night, November 9, in the club room of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club. It
also was ladies' night and a large gather-
ing resulted.

C. Keur, of C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom,
' Holland, was in Baltimore looking for
orders for peonies.

James Glass had a pretty display of
mums in Lexington market Saturday,
November 7.

Charles Hamilton, of Mount Washing-
ton, sent some fine mums to the Ex-
change last week.

Leroy Oldham has purchased eight
acres of fine land at Catonsville. He is
going to devote it to growing flowers and
nursery stock and expects to build in
the spring.

E. A. Seidewitz is having extensive
improvements made to his store on
Charles street.

The members of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club will attend the Washing-
ton florists' mum show on Friday, No-
vember 13. A stop will be made at Col-
lege Park, Md., to inspect the new
greenhouses. Quite a lot of experiment-
ing has been done here with mums and
lettuce. Professor White has charge of
the greenhouses. A bowling match will
be in order for the evening, between the
Baltimore and Washington bowling
teams. Q.

Crawfordsville, Ind. — McDonald &
Steel have added to their outfit a hand-
some new delivery wagon.

The Market.

Now that the election is over, we hope
that business will settle down to its nor-
mal conditions, which should be fairly-
good at this time. And from present
indications we are going to have a fair
amount of trade in the near future.
Flowers, however, are very plentiful, and
the prices, owing to the excess of bright
weather, are away down. Mums have
never been finer and great quantities of
them are sold daily, both in the stores
and by the street hucksters. Roses are
only in fair supply, but carnations can
be had in any quantity, at almost any
price.

L. longiflorum has taken the place of
the Japanese lilies and sells well. Valley
continues to move slowly. A few early
narcissi have made their appearance.
Sweet peas are completely out of season.
Violets are plentiful, but are completely
bought up daily. There is little other
outside stock of value to be seen in the
market, and until the bulbs are in great-
er evidence there will be little to men-
tion. Smilax is much more plentiful
than at any time this season and quite a
quantity of it was used last week in the
various political displays.

Various Notes.

J. M. Holland has disposed of his
Piedmont store to M. H. Morse and will
in future devote his entire time to his
floral business at East Berkeley.

N, EpUeri has opened a floral estab-
lisl;iment at 573 Eighth street, Oakland,

Chattanooga & St. Louis railway. Its
capital stock is $50,000; 150 laborers are
employed on the grounds, and 100 agents.
Large shipments are made to California,
Oregon and Washington on the west,
through the middle west, south and east
to New York. The annual output aver-
ages from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 plants
and trees.

The oflSce quarters are modern, with
up-to-date equipment. A large fireproof
vault protects the books, orders and val-
uables. There have been 25,000 orders
stored there at a time, in alphabetic
order. The shipping season is on now
and many interesting phases are pre-
sented. The tree-stripper turns out about
100,000 trees daily. In the packing moss
and shingle tow, which hold the moisture,
are used. The cars are on their own
sidetrack.

The business has had an almost phe-
nomenal growth under the present man-
agement. It is one of the few enter-
prises not affected by the financial strin-
gency of 1907. The orders this fall tax
even its large capacity. Hon. H. N.
Camp, who resides in Knoxville, is presi-
dent; Nathan W. Hale, who served a
number of years in congress from the
Second district, is vice-president; E. W.
Chattin is secretary, treasurer and gen-
eral manager. He has been connected
with the plant since 1902. Others con-
nected with the business who are worthy
of mention are: E. H. Dudley, of the
west Tennessee territory, with headquar-
ters in Memphis; Gilbert Marshall, di-
vision superintendent, with headquarters
in Little Eock, Ark., and E. N. Coles,
superintendent of the California division,
with headquarters in Eiverside, CaJ.

The success of the Tennessee Whole-
sale Nursery is a demonstration of push
and enterprising ability. Its founder and
promoter, J. C. Hale, began with ten
acres of leased land in 1897, on which
he grew 200,000 peach trees. In 1904 he
occupied 500 acres of fine land and
placed on the market 4,000,000 peach
trees. Having specialized peaches with
success, he then added pears and cherries.

CAULIFLOWER WILL NOT HEAD.

Will some man of experience in this
particular line explain why apparently
good strains of European cauliflower,
purchased from reliable sources in this
country, will frequently not head in a
satisfactory manner and sometimes will
not head at all? The writer believes he
knows how to grow and cultivate cauli-
flower, but frequently cannot get satis-
factory results. Market Gardener.

The best cauliflower growers often fail
to get their plantations to head uni-
formly. They know that the head will
not be regularly formed unless the
growth of the plant proceeds continu-
ously, without check from beginning to
end.

Adverse weather conditions are prob-
ably the main cause of the heads not
forming properly. At Chicago, where
there are some very successful cauli-
flower growers, the aim seems to be to
get the plants set out early enough to
get them well along to the heading stage
before the hot, dry weather. Cool, moist
weather is one of the essential things
in the cultivation of cauliflower. It will
not head well in the hot summer weather,
and a dry spell coming at a critical time
will blast the heads, even though they
are well along and give excellent
promise.

It requires considerable skUl and fa-
vorable weather to make a good crop of
spring planted cauliflower. In the fall
it requires less skill and it seems much
easier then to get a good crop. The
same seed is used for both spring and
fall planting, and frequently seed that
fails to make a good spring planted crop
will make an excellent fall planted one.

In the opinion of the most successful
growers, favorable weather does more
than anything else to make a good crop
of cauliflower. Cultural skill is neces-
sary; 80 is good seed, but the weather
has most to do with it.

SOIL STERILIZATION.

[A paper by B. H. Thorne, of Woostcr, C,
read at the meeting of greenhouse vegetable
growers In Cleveland, October 31, 1908.]

In sterilizing soil in the greenhouse

we have two general classes of diseases

to contend with. In the first class we

have bacterial or fungous diseases, such

as drop and rosette, and in the second

class insect diseases, such as nematodes.

There are two efficient methods of ster-
ilization. One method is by the use of
formaldehyde or formalin, the other by
the use of heat, usually in the form of
steam. Formalin is useful only in cases
of fungous or bacterial diseases, while
steam is efficient in all cases.

Sterilization "WHb Formalin.

In describing the methods of sterili-
zation we will bigin with formalin. The
soil to be sterilized can be handled best
if placed in the beds where it is to re-
main, or, in case of old soil, if left in
its original beds. The beds are pre-
pared the same as for planting, taking
care to get the soil as fine as possible,
and if any manure or new soil is needed
it should be added at this time. If the
soil is loose it should be firmed or
tramped.

The bed is then watered enough to
bring every particle of soil into a moist
condition. As soon as the surplus water
has drained off and the surface can be
raked without soil sticking to the teeth
of the rake, it is ready for treatment.
The watering of the soil is to bring bac-
teria and fungi into an active state of
life, and to moisten the soil enough so
that the least amount of mixture will do
the work.

Mixing and Applyinsf.

The mixture is made of two pounds
of forty per cent formalin to fifty gal-
lons of water and can be applied with
a barrel force pump and hose, or it can
be put into the water tanks, when a tank
is used, or may be applied with a mixer,
to be described shortly. The formalin
can be run into the watering system and
applied by the usual method of watering.

In applying the mixture to the soil,
the bed is first raked about an inch deep.
This raking allows the mixture to settle
faster into the soil and prevents its
spreading over much surface. The bed
is watered as heavily as possible the
first time and then gone over from one

to three times more, or until you are
absolutely sure the mixture has gone
down to the bottom of the soil and, in
the case of ground beds, from one to
two inches deeper. If the mixture is
doing its work properly, fishworms leave
their skin behind them as they crawl
along and they die in from ten minutes
to^nalf an hour.

The bed is then let stand from four
to six days, or until all traces of for-
»malin have disappeared and it is dry
enough to plant. If planted too soon,
the young plants will die. About a gal-
lon of mixture is needed to the cubic
foot of soil.

The Formalin Mixer.

The formalin mixer is made of two or-
dinary kitchen range tanks, one above
and at one «ide of the other. The up-
per one holds the formalin and the
lower one is the mixer. The tops of
both are connected by a small pipe with
a valve in it. This pipe is to equalize
the pressure in both tanks by the pass-
age of air back and forth.

Mrs. Chas. Knopf

A grand variety; comes Into bloom early and remains steady the balance of the season.
One of the best varieties that has ever been introduced, and bound to surpass the grand
old variety, Enchantress, from which It Is a seedling. Desortptlon:— The flower is 4^4
inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal, with stiflness that gives it a
grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stlfFer, It keeps and ships much better than the above
variety. The calyx is very stiflE and large, giving the flower a chance to develop freely, and does not burst as much as Enchantress.
The habit is ideal, closely resembles Enchantress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the field or inside all summer.
Likes a temperature of 60 to 52. The stem is 24 inches and over, and holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives one
good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet sent out and is bound to surpass the old variety. Enchantress.

Beautiful scarlet-crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. The size of
the flower is 8 to 8^ inches, with a grand form, built up well in the center, having the most substance of any flower we
know of. One of the best shippers and keepers. The calyx is short, but of tough texture and well expanded, giving the
flower freedom to expand. The habit is ideal; easy to handle: does well from field or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 60 to 52.
Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 30 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up
the flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure to give satisfaction and find a place among the standards.

Tbe above varieties, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate.
It don't cost you anything to send for a circular. A postal will bring you one. We invite the trade to come and see the above
growing. Delivemy begins with December.

LAWBon-XnoliantreBB, introduced by us last year, is giving the best satisfaction and the demand will be heavy this year. It is the Enchantress
with Lawson color and is as early and free as Enchantress. You will surely want this variety. Our stock is in grand shape and can take care
of all orders. $5.00 per 100, $60.00 perlOOO; 250 at 1000 rate.

formalin gets low, and the lower tank
has a gauge at the top to show when
the water gets too high. From the bot-
tom of the formalin tank a ^-inch pipe
goes down to meet the pipe from the
waterworks, running into the bottom of
the lower tank. Connecting the end of
the ^,-inch pipe with the waterworks
pipe are a needle valve to regulate the
flow of formalin and another glass gauge
to show that the formalin is running
properly.

The formalin and water are mixed in
the lower part of the lower tank by the
moving water coming in continuously
and the mixture runs out about one-
third of the way up, back into the water-
works system. The apparatus is con-
nected to the regular watering system
through a by-pass.

In order to get the right proportions
of formalin and water, run fifty gallons
of 'water through the apparatus and
time it, and then regulate the needle
valve to run out two pounds in the same
time. An air pump is needed to force
air into the upper tank, to force back
the water in the lower tank when it gets
too full.

"With this apparatus one man can ap-
ply the mixture as fast as the water
runs.

DETROIT.

The Market

Now that election is over, there is an
air of business on all sides. While no
notable change has taken place, still
everyone seems to have more confidence
and it is only a matter of time until
things will be humming again. Let us
hope for some more of the days as we
had them in 1906-7, when it was often
late in the night before all the orders
were out.

There is plenty of good stock of all
kinds to be had at most reasonable prices.
There is also an abundance of asparagus
and smilax.

Various Notes.

A brother of Eobert Watson is a mem-
ber of the council in Detroit and at pres-
ent it looks as though he would be the
president of this body for the coming
year.

Harry Pearce, of the Pontiac Floral
Co., has been in the Upper Peninsula on
a hunting expedition.

It is rumored that August Von Boe-
selager is contemplating building some
more houses.

Some of the old familiar faces were
missed at the recent outing to Mount
Clemens, Robert Flowerday, Frank Holz-
nagle, Ed Beard, and others.

The only brother of Wm. Dilger died
last week in Chicago and was buried at
Sanduskv, O. This was probably the
reason Mr. Dilger was not with the boys

iRst "wcck.

Waldemar Maebius, of Pittsburg;
George Kimmons and Samuel Virgin, of
Pontiac; Mr. Boeringer, of Bay City,
and C. Winterich, of Defiance, O.,
helped make up the party to Mount
Clemens recently. Mr. Boeringer is a
member of the Detroit club.

Quite a party from Detroit left for
Chicago Sunday, November 8. Among
them were W. B. Brown, Walter Taepke
and Albert Pochelon. Fred Breitmeyer
left November 5.

A neat invitation announced the open-
ing of the new flower shop of Edward A.
Fetters at 114 Farmer street.

The last regular meeting of the Flo-
rists ' Club was held November 4. Quite a
large number were in attendance, to con-
gratulate the new mayor of Detroit. Dur-
ing the evening City Boiler Inspector J.
C. McCabe gave a talk on greenhouse
heating, which was very interesting.
After adjournment a lunch was served
by the entertainment committee. H. S.

fflith's New Chrysanthemuffls

Are in Etrong demand each year.

Past experience of commercial growers has established the merits of our products.

Of those which we have sent out during the last twenty years, many are still favorites and
live issues.

The present year novelties have been well received. Those of 1909 are of the same high standard.

They have good stem and foliage, producing fine flowers from late buds.

Early propagation and planting are not such important factors as with the many foreign novelties
offered.

GLORIA, Enchantress pink, Oct. 10 to 20. PRES. TAFT, incurved white, Oct. 25 to Nov. 5.

Orders filled in strict rotation, beginning in January.

To those interested in exhibition varieties, will say we have a full quota of the Foreign Novelties,

many of which are marked improvements, and are superb for this purpose.
Larg^e stock, January Delivery, 60c each.

We also have plenty of Pompons, Singles, and Hairy varieties and Anemones.

Our entire plant is .devoted to Chrysanthemums. Correspondence solicited.

NE^ ORLEANS.

Since my last report, in which I gave
my full impression about the last All
Saints' day, I have met many florists,
who are all well satisfied with the busi-
ness done on that day. There was not
exactly a shortage of flowers among the
growers, but private gardens suffered
during the rainy season and this created
an increased call on the trade. Flowers
which came from Chicago were generally
found good, and so far few complaints
have been heard.

We had this week a committee meet-
ing for the last arrangements about our
flower show, and two days before the
opening a general meeting of the club
will be called. Everything seems to prom-
ise success.

O. G. Bishop, representing S. L. Allen
& Co., of Philadelphia, was in town.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The presidential election caused quite
a stir in Buffalo and made some busi-
ness for the store men.

Chrysanthemums have moved well dur-
ing the last ten days and also have been
scarcer than usual. Late varieties have
arrived much earlier this year, and it
looks as if Thanksgiving muma were
going to bring a good price. While
mums have reigned supreme, carnations
have stood practically still. Stock piles
up every day and thousands have gone
to waste. Eoses have also moved slowly.

Business bids fair to be good up to
the holidays, as several balls are to be
given in honor of debutantes of the sea-
son. There seems to be a large number
of parties booked, which is bound to help
business.

The Club's Flower Show.

The committee of five, appointed by
President Sandiford for the arrange-
ment of the flower show, has completed
arrangements, as stated in the following
letter, addressed to the growers:

The Buffalo Florists' Club will hold a flower
show, November 18, at the Iroquois hotel par-
lors. Exhibition opens at 3 p. m. and banquet
at 8 p. m.

The committee of arrangements has endeav-
ored to procure flowers of Interest to you. A
paper will be read by Prof. John F. Cowell on
his visit to the national flower -show, ' held at
Chicago.

The club extends an Invitation for the after-
noon of November 18, and also to the banquet
in the evening. The banquet will be a stag
afTair; the price of banquet tickets will be $1.

The club will be very grateful to you should
you have any flowers or plants of interest that
you could send, not necessarily chrysanthemums,
but any other flowers of commercial value will
be acceptable. Exhibits sent are at the dis-
posal of the committee.

William Legg has been appointed man-
ager of the show, and George McClure,
Jr., chairman of the press committee.

The club will be glad to receive flow-
ers, mums or others, that a grower might
wish to ship. They would be especially
glad to receive any novelties, which will
surely be placed on exhibition to the
growers. The committee has arranged,
also, to invite the elite of the town;
also prominent business men.

If you should desire any information
on the subject, write to J. E. Cloudsley,
584 Main street, Buffalo, N. Y.

Kemember the date — November 18.

Various Notes.

Flower shows were the main attrac-
tions last week. The conservatory at
South park, under the direction of Pro-
fessor Cowell, had a large display, which
attracted many hundreds to the place.

W. J. Palmer had a fine display of
large blooms in both stores, as did the
Wm. Scott Co., at the greenhouses at
Main and Balcom streets. R. A. S.

Columbia, S. C. — Miss Annie Witt-
vogel, proprietor of the Eau Claire Green-
houses, has moved her Columbia head-
quarters to 1611 Main street. She has
20,000 feet of glass.

Fulton, N. Y. — Chas. B. Wetherby,

ONCINNATL

The Market

Business continues to be good. Ee-
tailers and wholesalers alike are busy,
and everything goes along merrily. Every
indication points to a continuation of
the present good business.

The fine, large midseason mums are
with us now and they are selling well.
In fact, all kinds and sizes of mums are
selling well. Thanksgiving day will soon
be with us and it ought to bring out a
good business this year. That day will
about be the finish of the mum this year.
The dry season has tended to bring in
the mums more rapidly. After Thanks-
giving the big cut of mums will be over
and then the rose and the carnation will
come back into their own.

Koses have been selling out well. It
has been impossible to fill all orders for
Beauties, and pink roses also are not
equal to the supply. Carnations have
also been selling well, but there are per-
haps more of them coming in than roses,
as they do not clean out so well.-

Violets are good property and so are
lilies and valley. Green goods are sell-
ing well. New bronze galax and bronze
leucothoe are on the market now and
meet a steady demand.

Various Note*.

Quite a few of the florists of this city
went to the national flower show at Chi-
cago. Many more would have liked to
go if it had been possible for them to
get away. Among those who intended
going were Fred Gear, George Tromey,
C. E. Critchell, K. Witterstaetter, J. A.
Peterson and many others.

Mr. and Mrs. Gerlock, of Lexington,
Ky., were callers on their way to the
show in Chicago. Mr. Honaker, also
of Lexington, joined them in this city
for the same destination.

Julius Baer had a window display of
many varieties of orchids, which was
most beautiful and attracted a great deal
of attention. C. J. Ohmer.

Toronto, Ont. — Plans have been made
for the erection of a palm house in Al-
lan Gardens, to cost $32,000.

Batavia, III. — The Eiverbank Green-
houses have secured a part of the J. C.
Strader drug store at the county seat,
Geneva, and will open a retail depart-
ment.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NOTEMBEB 12, 1908.

MINNEAPOLIS.

The Market

Trade has been fairly good. Stock is
plentiful, but the prices keep up. Violets
are not yet plentiful. Mums are fairly
good all over, roses and carnations good
and plentiful.

Various Notei.

A number of Minneapolis florists
planned on going to the convention, but
business prevented them from carrying
out their intentions. Theo. Wirth,
H. C. and H. F. Will and J. Jorgenson
went down November 7, and a few more
may go later. Mr. and Mrs. W. D.
Desmond will be among the latter.

Miss Whitted had the decorations for
a couple of weddings and other social
affairs, and had a busy week.

James Souden had one of the largest
coming out receptions at the Minikahda
club last week.

E. A. Latham did good business last
week, a couple of large dinner decora-
tions calling for orchids, valley, etc., and
the general cut flower trade has been first-
class.

Kice Bros, find the out-of-town busi-
ness good, and no difficulty in getting
good stock.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. has a fine
stock of mum plants and Primula
obconica. It is cutting a good crop of
mums and the cut of roses and Beauties
is excellent.

T. H. Hall and T. S. Lynes are out on
a hunting trip at Wheaton, Minn.

The City park greenhouses are having
a mum show.

Visitors: — Geo. E. Valker, Minot, N.
D.; N. P. Lindberg, Rugby, N. D.; Mr.
Shotwell, Fargo, N. D. M. E. M.

ERIE, PA.

The Market.

Many funerals in the city are keep-
ing the florists busy this week. Beauti-
ful work is being turned out. Chrysan-
themums are now in the height of their
glory and are seen at most of the social
functions. Roses and carnations are com-
ing on finely, while violets are not very
choice yet.

Varioui Notes.

Mr. Tong, formerly manager of the
Massassauga Gardens, Erie, is now in
partnership with Mr. Weeks in Ashta-
bula, O. The new firm is known as Tong
& Weeks.

Mrs. C. T. Glover, formerly saleslady
for the Baur Floral Co., has moved from
Corry, Pa., to Erie. B. P.

■*"Now that Election is Over ""?aSS.?SIS;.v.d

Prepare for Thanksgiving and Chrisf mas

We protect the trade. We employ no fakere, no drummera. No department
stores handle our goods. We have great faith in Uncle Sam (the mail). He is
our partner.

Look at the photo ! 'What a lively time at Aschmann's, the busy bee
unpacking his big importations of Azaleas, Palms, etc. We have it. Have
what ? An immense stock of the choicest salable plants in season and everybody
who sees them will be astonished and say, "No use talking, you're a cracker- jack."
I am going to make things lively this fall. Five thousand Araucaritta. twice as
many Ferns, Palms and Azaleas and many thousands of other salable stock
must go at panic prices. By Christmas all must be sold. Why ? We want the
room to force our extensive Easter stock.

WeLeadflieCountryiiiAraucarias

Have been in the lead in the past; have it now
aLd shall lead in the future.

We have houses full of choice £xcelsa robnsta
compacaandExcelsaglanoa; enough to sup-
ply the entire country.

Will you pay 50 per cent to 100 per cent more
by buying from others who are not Specialists?
Hope not; the wise are on guard. We are going
to sell all of them and without drummers. By
jlnKO, we must sell them; an elephant for 40c,
oOc and 60c: a jambo for 75c to $1.00; and a holy
terror in size for $1.25 to $1.50.

TAKE NOTICE!

fully 10 per cent to 20 per cent bigger than adver-
tised below.

Four houses full of choice Boston, Whit-
mani and Scottli Ferns, 5, 5^, 6 and 7-in., all
pot-grown, raised in sunny houses (not white-
washed), which will produce stiff fronds; never

WASHINGTON.

TheMaitet.

■ r
" The election,- no doubt, was the dause

of the failing otf in business la^t week.

Flowers of all -kinds continue plentiful.

Chrysanthemuma still hold the fort, and

have a bad effect on roses and other

flowers.

Various Notes.

The coming week will be show week.
If advertising with posters and the press
will make a flower show a success, this
one will certainly be a winner. Novem-
ber 8. the Washington Sunday Times had
a whole section devoted to flowers, and
called the Flower Show Section. Gude
Bros, and F. H. Kramer had full-page
advertisements, while every other store
had from a quarter to a half -page. Mr.
Marche had a striking ad, which read :
' ' Formerly table decorator to their
Majesties, the King and Queen of Eng-
land." There will be at least eight
table and mantel decorations entered.
The Botanic Gardens and Agricultural
Department will exhibit specimen plants
and novelties.

F. H. Kramer will have a voting con-
test to .name two seedling pink roses,
to be named for the two most popular
ladies of Washington.

William F. Gude and Adolphus Gude
are doing the national show, but will be
back in time to look after their exhibits
in the local show.

Mr. Goudy, of Dreer's, Riverton,

The Weekly Florists' Review.

88a

This is Tiia

By William Scott

SECOND EDITION

THOROUGHLY REVISED AND
DROUGHT UP TO DATE

NO SCIENCE, BUT LOTS OF
PRACTICAL COMMON SENSE

"I have several times been consulted by those
who would make a beginning in the Florists'
business. In each case I have said that the first
step is to subscribe for a Trade Paper, and the
next to procure a copy of the Florists' Manual."
—J. A. Valentine, Pres. Park Floral Co., Den-
ver, Colo.

"Find enclosed $5 for the Florists' Manual, by
William Scott. It is the best book of the age on
commercial floriculture and should be in the
home of every gardener."— Conrad Forbach,
Buffalo, N. Y.

No dry-as-dust botanical classifications, but
tells you just how to produce marketable plants
and cut flowers in the best and cheapest way.

MT. CLEMENS, MICH.

What was some ten or twelve years ago
but a little pleasure trip to the city of
florists and baths by a few Detroit flo-
rists has now become a regular annual
outing, in which no less than seventy-five
per cent of the Detroit club members
participate. This year the club paid all
expenses. A special tourist car was char-
tered for Thursday, November 5. Fifty-
four florists and friends left Detroit.
Mayor-elect Philip Breitmeyer accom-
panied the party.

J. F. Sullivan's place is not in Mount
Clemens, but this was the first stop. The
Btock all looked good.

The second stop was at the small but
nicely kept plant of Leopold Mallest.
Mr. Mallest deserves considerable credit.
"With practically nothing to start with, he
has built up a nice business in a few
years and his carnations are second to
none. With his violets he has not been
as successful this year as in former years,
but they could be much worse.

Arrived at Breitmeyer's, the visitors
were taken to the large shipping depart-
ment. Here were plates heaped with
real German sauerkraut, red-hot frank-
furters, sandwiches, pickles and plenty
to wash it down with. After we had
satisfied our interiors, President Brown
announced that we had about one hour
in which to look over the immense plant.
Breitmeyer's stock is better than it has
ever been before. A new passageway is
being built along the west end of the
new range of houses, partly to protect a
5-inch feed pipe recently installed.

Robert Klagge received us with open
arms. His is a model plant in model
condition. The Detroit city boiler in-
spectors who accompanied the florists
complimented Robert on his well equipped
heating plant.

A. J. Stevens' range of houses is but a
stone's throw from Mr. Klagge's. Mr.
Stevens is a firm believer in doing but
one thing and doing that well. That,
thing in his case happens to be carna-
tions.

From Stevens' to James Taylor's is
quite a long walk and were it not for the
good hot coffee which Mrs. Taylor had
prepared I am afraid some of the boys
would still be suffering from the chills,
for the wind was pretty cold. Some fine
clirysanthemums were seen here. Mr.
Taylor heats his houses with hot water
with a foveed circulation. He gave a
demonstration of its workings.

The next stop was at Carey's. Here
another long table was spread with all
sorts of eatables and of course every one

was hungry. The carnations and chrysan-
themums at Carey's were good, but it was
the roses that received most of the com-
ment.

The car was in waiting at Carey's and
from here we went to August Von Boe-
selager's, where the trip was brought to a
very interesting end. The ceiling in the
large potting shed was partly covered
with white cloth and under this was
spread a long table. On one side of the
table was a row of plates with the pic-
ture of the defeated candidate for presi-
dent upon it and at the other the smiling
countenance of President-elect Taft. The
boys were asked to pick out their fa-
vorite side and eat to their heart's con-
tent. Speeches were now in order and
many of the florists responded, among
them Wm, Breitmeyer, Jerome K. Stock,
President Brown, Mr. Miesel and City

(ireeflhoase Heatmg.

HEATING VITH A FLUE.

We are contemplating building a
small greenhouse, about 20x20. Can we
successfully heat it, when the mercury
falls to 20 and 25 degrees below zero,
with a horizontal flue, the length of
whicii would be seventy-five feet? What
provision should there be for cleaning
out the flue whenever necessary! What
size should the flue and furnace bef
We are located in Nebraska. G. H. P.

I would not advise the use of a flue in
a house of these dimensions in your cli-
mate, unless the house was intended
merely to bring on plants in the spring
in much the same way as a hotbed.

L. C. C.

PIPING IN MICHIGAN.

I am erecting a greenhouse 25x150
feet and twelve feet eight inches to the
ridge. The height of the walls is six
feet, with three feet of glass in each
wall. One gable end is glass. The house
has an even-span roof and runs east and
west, with the boiler shed attached to
the east end. I wish to heat it with
hot water and should be pleased if you
would give me the best plan for pip-
ing it.

I have a thirty-five horse-power loco-
motive type of boiler, with one 6-inch
opening in the top and two 4-inch open-
ings at the bottom. The top of the
boiler is three feet below the surface of
the ground. I wish to heat the house
to 60 degrees in zero weather. I wish
to use as small pipe in coils as possible.
Would it be a good plan to break up
the coils into lengths of fifty feet?

C. S. B.

The only way I can devise by which
to shorten the length of the flow and
return pipes in your house would be to
place the boiler seventy-five feet from
the ends and carry the pipes in either
direction to the ends of the house, ar-
ranging the returns across the middle.
As you have located the boiler, nothing
can be gained by dividing the coils into
50-foot lengths, unless you desire to par-
tition the house into three rooms. If
you wish to use it as a single house, it
wiU be as well to use two 3-inch flow
pipes from the boiler to the far end of

will run the entire length under the
bench on the wall side, with a rise of
about a foot and a half to a 25-foot run.

F.

A heater to heat the house in question
should be large enough if rated to carry
from 200 to 250 square feet of radia-
tion. The house should have about 140
square feet of radiation in it.

L. C. C.

A SMALL LEAN-TO.

How much 1-inch or 2-inch pipe will
be required to heat to 55 or 60 degrees,
here in Ohio, a lean-to 12x18, with an
average height of nine feett It runs
east and west and has a south exposure,
with two feet of glass in the south side
and glass ends. The lower walls, four
feet high, are brick. There is a door at
the northeast corner. The hot water is
taken from a heating plant using a cir-
culating pressure at 140 pounds.

J. F. S.

I judge that if you run four lines of
2-inch pipe from the door the length of
the house and across the opposite end,
it will give sufficient radiation. If you
use 1*4 -inch pipe, five lines installed as
above noted will be sufficient. I should
not use 1-inch pipe for hot water, even
in so small a honse. L. C. C.

HEAT FOR UVING ROOM.

I am building a living room off from
the boiler room of the greenhouse, and
I desire to heat it with two radiators.
Will your heating expert tell me how
best to get right results! I heat with
hot water. The farthest point in the
greenhouse is 100 feet from the boiler,
while the farthest point in the living
room will be thirty feet. Will the sys-
tem be a success if the flows to the
radiators are on the same level with the
greenhouse, and the returns the same, or
will it be necessary to have them exactly
on a level! My greenhouse flow is 3-inch.
Should the radiator flow be the same
sizef I am located in Indiana.

L. G. B.

If you have an expansion tank several
feet higher than the highest pipe in the
greenhouse or the radiators in the living
room, you will be able to place the
radiators wherever you please, so long as
you do not have them lower than the
heater. The size of pipe usually used
for hot water radiators of moderate size
is 1^-ineh or l^^-inch. If more than
one radiator is to be fed from a single
flow, it will vary in size according to the
amount of radiation to be supplied. The
usual dwelling seldom requires more than
2-inch pipe. I judge that 1 14-inch or
1%-inch pipe will prove ample for your
needs. L. C. C.

IMPERFECT CIRCULATION.

Please let me have some information
on the heating of two connected houses,
14x20 and 20x22, four feet high at
the sides and eight feet to the ridge,
all glass. I have a No. 16 Wilks boiler.
Each house has one 1*4 -inch flow and
three 114-inch returns. There are two
expansion tanks, with a capacity of ten
and fifty gallons, respectively. They
are four feet above the highest flow pipe
and are connected at the return near the
boiler. Each flow pipe, at the highest
point, has one %-inch air escape, eight
feet high, and in case of hard firing will

B^llltm.

Isn't This the Boiler You Want?

The following tributes to the all-round efiSciency of Capitol
Boilers are the best advertisement for its practical merit we can pu
before you. Read:

' ' The large Capitol Boiler put in my greenhouse in 1906 has
been well tested, and has satisfied me in every way. Needs little
attention, is moderate in its demand for fuel, and furnishes all the
heat you claimed it would, and more."— Charles W. Noethrup,
LaGrange, 111.

"The Capitol Boiler has given me entire satisfaction, so much
80 that I purchased one more today for heating my greenhouse No.
2."— Herbert S. Nase, Sellersville, Pa.

" The Capitol Boiler has given me complete satisfaction. I
find it to be a fine, clean boiler to fire, no coal waste, and a first-
class heat producer. I fully recommend it."— Bernard Katz-
wiNKEL, Mendota, 111.

It is better to be safe than sorry. Put in a Capitol BoUer, because it's the
best boiler made for greenhouses. Any of our Branches or Sales Agencies will

Arranged with binding posts to

These thermostats are all right
and I have recommended them
everywhere and feel sure that
some sales through my talk have
been made. I am not now talk-
ing for a bonus or money, as I
feel the thermostat saved me from
being frozen out with a sleepy

The small house works well. The
larger house, with a riser forty-six feet
long, has an elevation of eight inches
and then drops twenty-five inches to the
first tee; then six inches to the second
tee and six inches to the ell. The three
114 -inch returns are gathered in one
1%-inch pipe fourteen feet from the
boiler and drop two inches lower to the
bottom of the boiler. The two lower
returns have little circulation and are
only warm. How should they be ar-
ranged!

The houses are located in Texas and
are protected from the north by dwell-
ings. I used 3,000 pounds of coal last
winter. I grow general greenhouse
plants. E. F.

The pipe in the large house is smaller
than would generally be used on runs of
this length. If you had a 2-inch flow
and 1%-inch returns, I believe the serv-
ice would be more satisfactory. Then,
too, a little more radiation in the large
house would probably prove an ad-
vantage. I believe that with the ex-
pansion tanks arranged as you have them,
it will be best to take out the vent
pipes and plug the openings, except for
an ordinary air valve, which can be
opened two or three times daily to see
that there is no air in the system. The
expansion tanks should then force a cir-
culation. L. C. C.

Alex M. Rennie, formerly in business
in this city but for several months past
in Boston, was in town last week calling
on acquaintances previous to departure

uation.

Among the recent foreign importa-
tions through the Providence custom
house were the following: From Rotter-
dam, fourteen packages of seeds; from
Antwerp, five packages of plants.

George Kelley, 239 Waterman street,
has been erecting an addition, 20x30
feet, to his range of greenhouses.

The Woonsocket Horticultural Society,
at its meeting a few days ago, elected
the following oflScers for the ensuing
year: President, A. B. Warfield; vice-
presidents, George M. Welles, Warren A.
Cook, Gilbert Staples and John Mc-
Laughlin; secretary and treasurer, Her-
bert Whitaker; auditor, Warren A. Cook.
The report of the treasurer, up to Sep-

Dear Sibs:— If the Morehead Return Trap cost ten times what you ask for It, It would
be cheap when time, labor and cost of repairs are consid-
ered, in compariaon with the steam pump I had installed
before getting your Trap. I cannot praise it too highly and
I recommend It to everyone who talks steam. Yours,

to $4.50 per dozen at retail. There are
plenty of blooms of a good quality and
the demand keeps the supply well bought

Mrs. William Hoffman has opened one
of the finest stores in Pawtucket, on
Main street, and the interior has been
fitted up in an attractive manner. Fri-

funeral orders ever received in this state.

The Market

Conditions last week were about the
same as at last writing. Stock of all
kinds went slowly the first part of the
week, but there was a decided improve-
ment later, and on Saturday there was a
rush for stock that almost cleaned the
counters.

Roses are still going slowly, except red,
which are cleaned up readily. Carna-
tions are fine, but the demand is not
'what it should be. Some of the late
varieties of mums are now to be had,
among which are some fine yellow Chad-
wick, Bonnaffon and Maud Dean.

Various Notes.

A delegation of Cleveland florists left
for Chicago on Sunday evening to attend
the national exhibition. Among them
was Herman Knoble, of Knoble Bros.;
John Kirchner, Charles Bartells, Guy
Bate, Frank Williams and Sam Pente-
cost.

The Calla Cut Flower Co. is sending
some fine carnations and mums to this
market.

Harry Flickinger, of Barberton, was
a visitor last week, and reports having
built two new houses this season. He
reports good trade.

W. A. Calhoon has started cutting
Gov. Herrick violets. His plants give
promise of a good season's cut.

The F. R. Williams Co. has installed
another Murphy automatic stoker at its
greenhouses, having had such good re-
sults as to warrant a sure saving in the
coal bill.

Knoble Bros, report some heavy
funeral orders for last week. B.

Lebanon, N. H. — The Haskell Floral
Co. is building another house, made
necessary by an increase in business.

PONTIAC, Mich. — H. J. Pearce, of the
Pontiac Floral Co., has developed an en-
tirely new aster of the peculiar shade
of pink known only hitherto to the Day-
break carnation. The flowers are large,
averaging about four inches across, and
have found a ready sale.

HOUSTON, TEXAS.

This city has some excellent green-
house and nursery establishments, which
indicate that the people, not only of this
immediate vicinity, but of southern Texas
in general, make liberal use of flowers
and plants.

W. T. Hauser, manager of the Houston
Floral Co., began business here about
four years ago and has built up an ex-
tensive trade. He is an expert in all
that pertains to floriculture and has made
his greenhouses and nursery on Durable
street a popular attraction. He was
formerly engaged with his father in the
floral business at San Antonio and is
still interested in that concern. He has
an office and store at 603 Main street.

William Kutschbach's greenhouses, at
2526 Washington street, have been in
operation during the last fifteen years
and the growth of the business has been
steady and substantial. He is not only
well patronized in the city, but makes
frequent shipments of flowers, plants and
bulbs to outside points. His store is lo-
cated at 913 Main street.

Henry Palmer, at 2521 Washington
avenue, has had many years' experience
in the growing of fine flowers and in
the making of artistic designs, and
merits the success that he has won. His
greenhouses contain some rare and ex-
pensive plants, as well as the popular
commercial varieties.

CALUMET, MICH.

A. E. Lutey, who recently resigned as
manager of the Lakeside Floral Co., has
decided to open a flower store in the
Hohnan block, on Fifth street, with Miss
Georgie Draper in charge. Miss Draper
is well known locally, having been em-
ployed in the florists' business by Mr.
Lutey for the last five years. The store
is to be opened at once, the flowers com-
ing here from Milwaukee, where Mr.
Lutey has leased a block of greenhouses,
and placed his brother, Harry, in charge.
The latter was manager of the green-
houses at the Chassell plant of the Lake-
side Co.

Thx Bevdew is ahead of any other
paper for florists and I cannot do with-
out it. — H. W. Wbiqht, Amarillo, Tex.

WAYSIDE NOTES.

V. Burgevin's Sons, of Kingston, N.
Y., planted a new house, 34x180, with
hybrid teas and are cutting some fin«
blooms. Catering chiefly to retail trade,
they realize the advisability of growing
as varied a stock as possible," and they
are right up to date. This house con-
tains Perle, Sunset, Golden Gate, Ivory,
Bride, Maid and Beauty. It contains,
also, some of the newer candidates for
favor, Mrs. Jardine and Rhea Reid.
Both of these are doing splendidly, and
if the latter will only hold its neck a bit
stiff er (for it has no reason to hide its
head), we have undoubtedly a grand
rose. This house was a feast to the eye,
being perfect in both foliage and bloom.
T^he carnations are fine. Chrysanthemums
are going well. The first cut is gone and
Ivory and Bonnaffon are in full crop.
Side benches are used for blooms suitable
for funeral pieces, and the artist who
does the artistic work is indeed a fortu-
nate person to have such a variety to
draw upon. It is an acknowledged
science to make a design look passable
with material of poor grade, but it is a
positive delight to perform the artistic
when one has decent stock to work with.

Wm. Williams has purchased the Stow
place at Kingston, and is getting things
into shape. He had the misfortune to be
bitten on the hand by a dog, but it is
hoped that no serious results will follow.

P. J. Cookingham, of EUenville, N. Y.,
is picking fine Enchantress. He is also
a market gardener of note.

J. R. Hunt, of EUenville, is an enthu-
siastic amateur and has just completed a
large house, iron frame and cement, for
general purposes.

Cedar Rapids, Ia. — Ground will be
broken within a few days for the fine
new flower store and greenhouse which
is to be erected by Capt. Jas. G, Crozier,
at Third avenue and Fourth street. The
lot is one of the most convenient in the
city. It is owned by the Rock Island
and a long time lease has been secured
by Mr. Crozier. The oflSce will front on
Third avenue and the greenhouse will
run back to the alley. Mr. Crozier will
have a most attractive place of business
when his plans are completed, and he in-
tends to make his store of real conven-
ience to the public by arranging a part
of it so that it may be used as a waiting
room by patrons of the street railway
company.

Qirvin's Handy Cutter

Mr. Florist, If you once Bret one of these cutters on your finger you will never
be without it for many times the price. Just the thing for cutting your carnations,
sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be bothered with a knife or follow
th« old way of breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better

and save you money and time? Don't continue
breaking your carnations and thus ruin hundreds
of young shoots dally, simply because a knife is
unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If
you are not entirely satlsded with It you can return
it and ha"e your money refunded. These cutters
are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and
contain a removable blade.

Looking

Ahead

The National Flower Show, at
Chicago, has demonstrated beyond
all question that the love of flowers is
growing throughout the country.
The people are becoming educated
in the right direction and everything*
indicates that the supply furnished
for 1908 must be materially increased
for 1909. More flowers will be used
next year than ever before and the
florists will be called upon to grow
and produce them. If you are up
to your capacity now, you will need
to add more glass next spring and
when you come to buy the new
house, don't forget that we are
foremost in the construction of the
commercial greenhouse. Don't over-
look the fact that we sell nothing
that is inferior in quality, design or
workmanship, and that, consistent
with high-grade goods, our prices
are reasonably low. We are always
ready and willing to furnish sketches
or estimates without charge and will
be pleased to talk matters over at
any time.

STORM-TIGHT and

RAIN-PROOFii30secn<s!

This is the famous "Blizzard" Front in
actual use. while a furious storm is raging.

With the handy "Bllszard" in place, yon
can drive in comfort, regardless of snow, rain,
wind or cold.

It will keep out every drop of rain and no
matter if it is zero weather, the heat of your body
will keep the inside of the buggy as comfortable
as your "den" at home. No foot-warmers or
extra robes necessary. Notice the large window.
It is 12x20 inches and made of tough, transparent
celluloid, and a side light on each side.

The line pocket is 14 inches wide, and so
strongly reinforced with metal that it cannot tear
out or sag. Allows you perfect control of the
horse.

You can quickly open the "Bli»ard" at
either side ana get in or out with ease.

THB **BLIZZARD" FRONT
equalizes the strain on the buggy top and pre-
vents it from rattling. It is made of BUszard
Cloth and will last as long as the top.

Why risk the dangers of exposure— Rheuma-
tism. Colds, Pneumonia? Why not drive in
comfort?

10,000 Gallons of Water at 90 Pounds Pressure

In one day for less than three gallons of gasoline, and you can use city or natural
gas in the same engine, if you have it.

The Standard Pumping; Encrine is better than a windmill because it is
reliable, better than a "Hot Air Pump" because you can get more water and
more pressure for less money, and better than a Steam Pump because it is
always ready and the expense goes on only when you are doing your pumping.

After years of experience in making and repairing engines, steam and power
pumps and windmills, we designed the Standard Pumping Engine to meet
your special needs and we give you satisfactory results before we take your
money. Each machine is thoroughly tested before and after painting, and
shipped to you all put together, ready to run.

RAMBLING JOTTINGS.

Duncan Aird, of Newburgh, N. Y., has
some fine specimens of Lselia anceps and
L. anceps alba coming into bloom. They
will be used in a big decoration by the
Yuess Gardens Co., which has bought his
entire cut of chrysanthemums for the
season. They have a fine batch of A. J.
Balfour, J. K. Shaw, Peter Kay, Mrs.
Bobinson, October Sunshine and Col.
Appleton. Pink and white Ivory are
selling well, at a popular figure. There
are inquiries for plants in 5-inch or 6-
inch pots, naturally grown, and just at
this time, when there is nothing in the
shape of a flowering plant, such stock
should sell well. Folks become tired of
so much green in the house, restful
though the color may be, and what is
more cheerful in the dwelling than a
flowering plant, especially after Jack
Frost has cut down everything outdoors?

F. K. Lamereaux, of Port Jarvis, N.
Y., reports good business, particularly
with design work. He ships much out of
town, where his fame as a designer is
well known. Formerly in the dry goods
business, he uses to advantage the taste
acquired in the blending of colors into
a harmonious whole, reminding me of
another artist in the Salt City, who was
formerly a milUner and is now a most
successful designer.

E. A. Lorentz, of Middletown, N. Y.,
will have, when completed, the banner
place of this section, which is quite an
assertion. His houses have iron frames,
with cement benches and walks. He has
a palm house with ground glass, and a
handsome oflSce with a private room in
which to entertain drummers. Nothing
slow here. He says "Kill 'em Dead" is
the greatest thing out in the tobacco line.

P. X. Dienst, of Middletown, has no
kick coming, except about some cold
storage lilies, which seem rather weaker
than usual. All other stock looks well.

Joseph Richard, of Goshen, N. Y., has
completed an iron frame house, 30x150,
for roses and carnations. He is an ex-
tensive market gardener.

E. B. Holtslander, of Liberty, N. Y.,
reports fall business good. He has an
up-to-date plant. M.

Kindly discontinue my advertisement
of alyssum. It did the work. I sold out
clean and could have sold more. —
