Table Pieces* Usually the most profitable and prac- tical part of Thanksgiving decorative work is that of the table pieces. Some demands may be made for fruit decora- tions exclusively, and it is well to have a few plans in mind for these, and also to suggest the use of green and flowers or blooming plants with fruit. Dinner table decorations, of course, will be the mo3t called for. Mums are naturally the Thanksgiving flower, and it is often no easy proposition to use a good quality of mums conveniently and gracefully on a dinner taH«M. The principal difficulty is the leng tem. One is often tempted to rule t. . , ;ong, large mums out of medium and small sized decorations on this -lount. If they are used high above the eye line, they must be carefully selected as to gracefulness of stem and sparsely placed in slender vases. When so used, the diners are sure to lose some of the beau- ty of the flowers after being seated, much as they may enjoy the view upon enter- ing the dining room. A Low Decoration in Mums. So, while Ihe beauty of ^stem and foliage may be preserved in tall vases, we must make opportunities for show- ing the faces of the magnificent flowers. There are several ways of accomplishing this. . Onjy a few kinds of mums lie gracefully upon a flat surface. There are a ^ew of the incurved ones, whose stems happen to be more 6r less bent oflf a straight line, which will fall into easy curves if a little pad of green be placed under the stem near the head, to raise it slightly from the unyielding sur- face of the table. Let several lines of these mums start from the center and take their direction toward the end of the table. Let the lines be connected in theory, but really broken here and there. Starting from the vase as a center, trail a sash of wide satin ribbon of green, to correspond with the, foliage, or some color which blends with the color of the mums used. Let the ribbon wave easily under the loose mums and end near the extremities of the table. Finish by gathering the ends of the sash into a pucker, and draw a mum flower into the puffi Scatter a few fern fronds con- nectedly with the main lines of the decorations and abmat the base of the vase. Fruit and Flowers Together. The Thanksgiving season 9^ords *a i good excuse for using fruit siria flowers together. For a high piece, fill a large punch bowl with medium length mums and ferns. The easiest way to hold them in place is to fill with sphagnum, after" lining the bowl with green if it be of glass, and stemming as for basket work. Hang clusters of grapes around the edge and trail with some loose mums and ferns down to and around the base of the bowl. For a long table have a series of bowls at intervals, with connection of fruit and flowers. Heliotrope or yellow mums, with Farleyense ferns and grapes, make charming combinations. For a daintier table use a lower bowl or bas- ket, filled with violets, as a center. On the table tie clusters of violet cord, at- tached to tiny bunches of violets and clusters of grapes, with some light green foliage to develop the color. Violets and grapes' can also be relieved by the use of a delicate, warm pink, like Camot roses. Golden Gate or Uncle John. If you want to use apples, select a twig or bark basket of low plaque style and high handle. Put the fruit in loosely with fern leaves and cosmos or medium sized mums. Other fruits in yellow will combine with Bonnaffon or Golden Wedding mums. For a long table use an oblong birch' box and filt with adiantums and brilliantly colored fruit. A plant is worth dozens of cut leaves. For window decorations use some of the foregoing on an enlarged scale. Church Decorations.

Ki 10 The Weekly Florists' Review, •■-';t5' F;' W^P^^^W^F^^^'r NOTBMBEB 19, 1908. for this occasion, church rostrums have been loaded with pumpkins, sheaves of wheat, corn and fruits, the more kinds the merral^. Any of these ali8"good, if used ll^ilp some d|ipcrimination. One kind, witn^ flowers, is sufficient for a single occasion. Use more flov^ers and foliage than fruit or vegetables. ' For in- stance, use wheat with pink mums, and abundance of green. Have the sheaves full and. loose and the mums boukd^in with the wheat. With grapes usql Ires- toons of green, with a fancy basket of grapes suspended from each and a strik- ingly tall vase or basket of yellow mums flanking each end of the platform. ;Jf a lower front decoration is desired, out- line the platform with Boston ferns, with mums interspersed. Com stalks stacked up in the style of a wigwam, with dark red and old gold mums emerging from the top, will dis- play historical interest and novelty of arrangement. Geeteude Blaib. RAPID DELIVERY. The accompanying illustration shows the special delivery operated by E. A. Latham, Minneapolis, who finds the mo- torcycle the most convenient and econom- ical form of quick delivery he ever has tried. The carrier is large enough so thatij^ pumbey j^ \)oi^M^An. be carried f Or ' i lldinM«ij||lttiverji^P^dses, 3 or so that a large Yresign can be carried if de- sired. Every retailer finds, himself frequently confronted with the necessity for making deliveries on short notice, and with a machine of this kind he can gain time in the store for making up work, or can make deliveries on shortest notice. SPRAY OF ROSES. The spray, the favorite form of fu- neral design with Charles Henry Fox, the Sign of the Bose, Philadelphia, is happily illustrated by a bunch of white roses tied with a loose bow of broad white satin ribbon. Cibotium Schiedei may be used effectively as a background for this spray. Another method of carrying out the same idea would be to use selected blooms of Kil- larney roses, chosen from the paler shade, and tied with a large bow of soft pink ribbon.

The national flower show was favored with splendid weather f9r all its nine days and the attendance was good throughout. The gate receipts were greater than for any previous flower show ever held in America. The expenses were heavy, especially as it was the initial un- dertaking of the S. A. F. along this line, and about an even break is expected. The guarantors are sure to get their money back and there may be a small dividend. The management was successful in keeping up interest toward the close of the show, by new features added each day. Carnations. Eunning the show for nine- days made it necessary to replace most of the stock and there was a second showing of car- nations staged November 12, which eclipsed the grand display staged Novem- ber 9. Never in the history of flower shows in this country have so liberal pre- miums been awarded as for the carna- tions staged at th^ time. There was, for instance, a premium of $10.0 for the best 100 carnations, and $25 for the best 100 blooms staged by a grower operating not over 25,000 feet of glass. These pre- miums naturally brought out the best stock that could be produced, and better quality never was shown at this date. There were eight entries for the $100 prize. Premiums of $50, $40 and $30 were offered for the best display of ear- nations, but this brought out only two entries. There were ten entries for the best fifty blooms of White Enchantress and nine of Victory. The showing of novelties, while it did not include so many varieties as on the first day the carnations were staged, brought out some good vases. The O. P. Bassett stood up well and the Mrs. J. C. Vaughafl made a favorable impression. President Taft was in good shape and at- tracts by its form as well as its color. F. Domer & Sons showed a fine vase of Delight, their new light pink. It is not a large flower, but of bright color, and a good many growers think its commercial possibilities are great. W. A.

The accompanying illustration shows the special delivery operated by K. A. I^atham, INIinneapolis, wjio limls the mo- torcycle the most convenient and econom- ical form of quick delivery he ever has tried. The carrier is large enough so that a number of boxes can be carrietl for ordinary deliv(>i-v purposes, or so that a large design can be carried if de- sired. Every retailer finds himself frequently confronted with the necessity for making deliveries ou short notice, and with a machine of this kind he can gain time in the store for making up work, or can make deliveries on shortest notice. SPRAY OF ROSES. The spray, the favorite form of fu- neral design with Charles Ifenry Fox, the Sign of tlie Kose. Philadeliiliia. is hap]>ily illustrated by a bunch of white roses tied with a loose bow of broad white satin ribbon. Cibotium Hchiedei may be used effectively as a background for this spray. Another method of carrying out tlie same idea would be to use selected blooms of Kil- larney roses, chosen from the paler shade, and tied with a large bow of soft pink ribbon. riiii.. ^.'i»^^.'♦^^■^^-^.'^-^^V'<->^'<-v^■'^^'^.'<'•^■•-^,-»>•v^.-*^^fe^v»)•4^.-»)•^fe'^»>•-^^ THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW I ^^^.<^^<^^.^^f^.^'7^.^:^.^'^S*^:^.^'n:ik^''^.-^'i<9<^^iT^-^=ii^-^,-^^ A GREAT SUCCESS. • Tiie uational flower show was taxored with splendid weather for all its nine days and the attendance was good throughout.

The showing of novelties, while it did not include so many \aiieties ;is fin the first vase of Delight, their new light pink. It is not a large flower, but of bright color, and a good many growers think its commercial ])ossibilities are great. W. A.

Dreer's Riv- erton establishment, who is a frequent visitor to European exhibitions, spent a couple of days at the national show, and said it marked a decided advance in American exhibitions. November 12, 215 visiting florists took the 9:30 a. m. train for Morton Grove, and made a thorough inspection of the ■ plant of Poehlmann Bros. Co. Luncheon was served in the big packing room and the employees were on hand, as well as all the members of the firm and their wives, to extend the hospitalities to the vis- itors. The guides explained in detail the many special features of the establish- ment, which was in the finest of order throughout. The stock never looked bet- ter. Mayor Breitmever, of Detroit, and \ J6hn N. May, of Summit, N. J., each spoke in appreciation of the company's hospitality and of the modern and pro- gressive character of the establishment. R. Vincent, Jr., White '' Mawh, Mdjj has attended two great exhibitions ' this year-:^tlv^; eeetenary exhibition at. Ghent, Belgium, ajUj^ the uational show at 'Ghi- •cago;- -^ " '' -'! • During the^ast two days of the show •Bassefct & W^hburn maintained a table of their O; .- Pi^.. Bassett near the main entrance. The -showing of flowers made on the 6xhibi^p table sent most of the growers, to Hinsdal§, to see it in the greenhouses. V William Toole,,, of Baraboo, Wis., made an entry for pansies, which he Staged r in shallow pans covered by wire netting, "the: stems of th6 pansies going through into the water in the pans. ' .Gieqrge Field, of Washingjton, showed Cattl^a gigas, which were remarkable for s6 lEite in the season. His cut blooms of orchids ^wel"e all ■* from stock grown for comlpe^cial purposes. There was a go^^ delegation at Joliet November '11 as thfr^guests of the Chicago Carnation Gq. ^'j i V^allace R; Piersoh,^ of the A. N.' Pier- son Co., Cromwell, Conn., was one of the best satisfied men at the show. He said thej^ have 5,000 plants of My Maryland rose aod that they expect to sell close to 200,000 plants next spring. The way orders are coming in accounts for his cheerful expression. F.^R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., was ..utM called home November 12 by a telegram announcing the death of his mother, who was an octogenarian and had been in feebl^clkealth for some time. Sh« leaves three '^ughters, as well as thre« I sons, all tfie latter' in tha- trade: Frailk R. Pierson, Paul M. Pierson and Lincoln Pietson, the latter the head of the Pier- son U-Ba"r Co. Frank Beu exhibited a vase of his pompon chrysanthemum named for Mrs. Beu, which for several years has been a good seller in the Chicago market. Smith & Fetters, Cleveland, made an original display of cabbages, some of which had been expanded and decorated with fruits and flowers in imitation of ladies' hats; but, if truth must be told, while the ladies never failed to admire the arrangements, a great many thought they were table decorations. Poehlmann Bros. Co. had a table of White Perfection November 14 that was fine. It will take a good carnation to displace this as an exhibition white. There were three President Tafts at the show; one of them was the new red carnation of Scheiden & Schoos, another the pink begonia of J. A. Peterson, and the third the white chrysanthemum of El- mer D. Smith & Co. The Schiller estate staged an attractive group of palms. The plant growers * ' chipped in " a col- lection of plants for the children to vote to the most popular school. It was a good special feature. ^ THE AUTUMN EXHIBITIONS ^^^m^^^S^^^^^^^^^a^fti^^^S^S^^^^^S^S LMfiS I WASHINGTON. November 12 the most successful flow- er show ever held in the nation's capital opened in the old Masonic Temple. Every exhibit in the main hall was in place, the walls and balcony done, in southern smilax. The arrangement was, without doubt, the finest ever seen in the capital. Corinthian columns, banked on top with large Boston ferns and with southern smilax trailing half-way down the base, banked with ferns and cut blooms, were used in the general decoration. • In the center was the AJperi^an Beau- ty fountain of Gude BroS..^-Co.; This was ^fteen fe^ high, with tvfO' ledges and an urn on lop, with 16-foot base or basin effect. The vase on top held fifty 4-foot Beauties. The ledges were banked with Brynii ferns, which hid the vases in which Beauties were arranged to repre- sent streams of water tumbling from one ledge to another. The basin had a coping of Piersoni fern. Four tall, slender glass vases held long Beauties spraying, as it were, on the fountain proper. This firm also showed a large wreath on 'an easel, made of the new green known as Mexican ivy, and a table banked with ferns and vases of cut flowers. F. H. Kramer had a large table and showed the Queen Beatrice rose at its best; also his new yellow, Kramer's Pet. He also had a fine lot of mums and ferns at one end of the table. The ■T "; public was invited to vote for the most popular lady, whose name should be chosen for his pink seedling. George Cooke banked the base of one of the columns with a. fine lot of yellow mums. Friendship, and ferns. He also had a table and mantel decoration. The first two days it was done in Beau- ties, the mantel banked with Farleyense. The last two days, by request, he put on the yellow umbrellas he used last year, as recently illustrated in the Re- view. Mr. Marche, former decorator to the king and queen of England, had a Japa- nese table done in white mums and red bouvardia, with Japanese slippers on each corner, filled with bouvardia. He also showed a unique swinging crib, with two dolls covered with a blanket made of small white mums, valley and pink ribbon. He also showed a shower bou- quet he calls the Queen Alexandra bou- quet. George Shaffer showed a fine vase of Beauties and a pretty table decoration done in cattleyas, valley and Farley- ense. The mantel was banked with Far- leyense, white mums, orchids and valley. He also showed a neat hotne wedding decoration and bride's shower bouquet of valley and orchids, with bridesmaid's shower of Enchantress carnations. Mayberry & Hoover had a table ar- ranged with Perrin mums, furnished com- plete with napery, candy and cake. On •I m ' November 19, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 "V7ii:i£mxncm'- i^j^^ Nephrolepis Sdiolzeli. i the two last days the table was done in Richmond roses and was especially ef- fective and well arranged. Z. D. Blackistone had a mantel and table done in yellow pompon mums with an old tree stump effect the two first days, and changed to a centerpiece made of oncidiums and Baby mums. John R. Freeman had the two main banks in the large hall, and showed some exceptional specimen palms, araucarias and ferns. He also staged some fine mums and his own grown violets, which were the finest ever exhibited here. W. W. Kimmel showed some hand- some metal window boxes and urns filled with hardy stock. This exhibit was a credit to him, as it was a surprise to many in this line of work. Vernon Ley showed a fine lot of €erns ^own by Ley & Bickings. l]dward Schmidt exhibited the Kift berry and fern globe, and had singing •■■ In the orchid section Julius lioehrs Co. and Lager & Hurrell were splendidly represented, with the honors resting witib the former. The specimen palm was won by W. H. WaitB, of Yonkers, and the specimem fern, by Julius Roehrs Co. In the rose classes L. A. Noe and W. H. Waite were chief prize-winners in the Beauty classes, and Wm. Inglis, Port Chester, N. Y., and Frank Melne, Mama- roneck, figured largely in the tea classes. In the carnation classes F. B. Pier- son was the largest winner, taking prac- tically aU the classes. Exhibits staged not for competition in- cluded some 100 varieties of pompons from R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., and a splendid lot of palms and foliage plants from Julius Roehrs Co. Chas. H. Totty made a big exhibit of singles and staged some fifteen new va- rieties of the big flowers. Poekett's Crimson was given a special certificate by the Institute, this making six certificates this remarkable variety has received, in addition to capturing the sweepstakes in. the seedling classes at Chicago. Other novelties shown included Poekett's Sur- prise, Freda Bedford, C. H. Totty and Mrs. J. Hygate. The New York growers have one more show, November 17 to 20, in which to display their goods, after which" we will settle down to business for another year. Vn>i. UTTLE ROCK, ARK. Little Rock tried its first experiment in flower shows in 1907 and succeeded so well that a larger exhibition was planned for this year and an even bet- ter result secured, artistically, socially and financially, so that it now is assured that the event will be an annual one. •Che affair is really carried forward by Vestal & Son, Tipton & Hurst and the other Little Rock florists, Paul M. Palez acting as manager, but the commercial interests are kept carefully in the back- ground in order that the society element included in the Arkansas State Floral Society may be brought to the front. The show is held in the banquet room of the Hotel Marion, a handsome hall that provides an ideal setting for the flow- ers. The social element turned out in full force and the show was graced by as well dressed a gathering {is any held anywhere in the United States. Full dress was the rule rather than the ex- ception each evening and dinner parties filled the hotel dining room, all tables being reserved some time in advance. The spirit of true southern hospitality prevailed. C. M. Dickinson, Chicago, was the judge and' the exhibitors included many well known northern growers. E. G. Hill Co., H. W. Buckbee, Elmer D. Smith, Poehlmann Bros. Co., Bassett & Wash- burn and others sent good stock. The awards were: One hundred blooms of pink, white and yel- low chrysanthemums, Tipton & Hurst first.

At the recent exhibition ; of the Lenox Horticultural Society, October 28 and 29, the following new chrysanthemums, ex- hibited by Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J., received certificates of merit: Merstham Blush, Chas. H. Totty, Mers- tham Crimson and Mrs. O. H. Kahn. Elmer D. Smith, Adrian, Mich., also exhibited Leslie Morrison, an immense flower; Frank Payne, Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. G. W. Pook, the first two named receiving certificates of merit. E. Jenkins, Lenox, also received a cer- tificate of merit for the new singly white chrysanthemumy Anna. ;jvs .8% G. H. L ORANGE. N.J. The New Jersey Floricultural Society held its fourteenth annual flower show November 13, at its assembly rooms in this city. The exhibits were up to the usual standard, which has given this body its just celebrity, .and chrysanthemums, roses, carnations and orchids were in force. Among the trade contributions was an extensive exhibit of decorative pompon chrysanthemums from E. Vin- cent, Jr., & Sons Co., of White Marsh, Md., including eome of their i^j^intro- ^uctionsj^'^W.^ w^rfe •peculiarlyTfttexest- ing from the fact 'that they comprised some of the new, fashionable colors in dry goods. They attracted considerable attention, being massed upon one table with three contrasting colors in a vase. Lager & Hurrell and the local trade were represented, and among the visitors were Mr. McTaggert, of Thorburn 's, and W. E. Marshall, of New Itork. J. B. D.

If the earliest batch of freesias is growing on a shVf or light bench in a sunny house, wher^ a night temperature of 52 to 55 degrees is maintained, it should be possible to get in a fair pro- portion for Christmas. A little extra ef- fort to do this should be made, as holi- day, prices on this sweet bulbous flower are always about double what- they are later. Freesias need a lot of water at the root, and many growers do not give them' nearly enough. The soil may appear moist on the surface when underneath it is dry. If the leaves hang down it is a sure sign they -are too dry. Soak them well and notice next morning how much more rigid the foliage is. Ii^nure water twice a ,week, now that the flats and pans are iiatted with roots, will strength- en the flower spikes. Azaleas. A few of the earlier azaleas are al- ready coming into flower. They will be a little too early for Christmas, but at Thanksgiving there is always a nice little trade in flowering plants. As the flowers begin to expand, keep water off them. Rub out any young growths being made. These frequently come ahead of the flowers, particularly if forcing has been done in a warm and moist house. Any other plants you may desire to have for Christmas should be started right away. There now remains only five weeks until that holiday and, with diminishing heat and light, forcing does not bring on the plants so rapidly as in thp 'early spring, when the climatic conditions are reversed. Do not attempt any varieties which do not naturally flower early. Such sorts as Hexe, Charles Enke, Apollo, Deutsche Perle and Ver- vseneana are among the best of the earlies. Astilbet. The roots of the astilbes, or spiraeas, as they are still more popularly known, will arrive in a few days, some being al- ready to hand. We always like to give these a thorough soaking in a tub of water on arrival, as many are badly dried out in transit, afterwards heeling them in the open until they have had one or two good freezings. If potted without freezing, they seem to start irregularly early in the season, although later in the winter the rest seems to answer just as well. In the way bf varieties, the old 8. Japonica is inferior to such sorts as compacta multiflora, which can now be bought as cheaply as the older variety. Afttilboides is also a beautiful variety, as well as Gladstone, which carries im- mense trusses of snow white flowers. The three last named spirseas take about ten days longer to force into bloom than the old Japonica. For selling as pot plants no customer would select the older sort, if any of the other three were offered. . The beautiful new pink spiraea, Queen Alexandra, is still rather high priced for the average commercial grower. It will pay, however, to try a few of them. Its charming peach-pink color always makes it a quick seller. This spiraea pos- sesses extraordinary vigor, small clumps making splendid plants. Antirrhiaums. Already some nice flower spikes are opening on the early antirrhinums. While the mum season lasts there is little sale of these, but now that it is passing, well grown spikes of popular colors will sell well. To secure really good spikes, such as are seen at the exhibitions or in the better class stores, requires consid- erable care. The number of stalks per plant must be limited to three or four and all other shoots rubbed oflf. It really pays better to get this number of big stalks rather than treble the number of smaller ones, if you are sell- ing at wholesale. If retail trade will take the smaller sizes, it will be well to grow both gradesJ Any space vacated by mums can now be utilized for some of the later antir- rhinums. A night temperature of 48 to 50 degrees is ample. In a warmer house the plants grow spindly and the flowers lack substance. Stevia. With the passing of the mums, stevia, the cheaply grown but useful little flow- er, comes into season. It wants to be grown cool; anythihg clear of freezing NOVBMBEK 19, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. 17 will answer. To secure a longer suc- cession, a few pots can be placed in a warmer house from time to time. For mixed bunches, as well as funeral work, Stevia serrata is one of the indispens- ables. The cooler it is grown the longer will the stalks keep fresh when cut. Rambler Roses. It will be necessary to get the ramblers under cover before severe weather sets in and breaks the potsi The canes will by this time have lost most of their foliage and be well ripened. Store them in a frame, cellar or pit, where they can be kept near the freezing point in winter. If the pots are protected with hay or straw it will be all the better if the temperature goes a few degrees below freezing. If you have omitted tying and potting up ramblers, do so without delay. It is poor policy to dig up and pot them just before forcing. Plants pot-grown all summer will always give better results than fall potted stock. Still, the latter, if done in October or early November, will produce nice plants. Brief Reminders. Are all roofs tight before severe weather strikes! See to it that any necessary glazing is done while climatic conditions are tolerable. Keep hydrtingeas somewhat on the dry side, where they can be just clear of freezing. It is still rather too early to start any Van Thol or La Keine tulips. Let the ■boots grow a little longer. Keep Moschosma riparium in a carna- tion temperature to have it in nice bloom for Christmas. Water the poinsettias carefully.. Re- member that a loss of foliage resulting from a single day's neglect may largely reduce the value of your plants. Plant pansies, double daisies and myo- sotis in a cool house for winter blooming. Look over the smilax and Asparagus plumosua frequently, so that they do not become entangled. It is better to use cold storage valley for forcing until the new year. Do any banking around coldframea now, before the ground freezes solid. Strawy stable manure over leaves makes a warm covering. Pack dahlia roots in boxes of dry sand. They will keep well in a dry, frost- proof cellar, away from fire heat. BOSTON. The Market It cannot be said that any particular improvement has yet taken place in cut flower conditions. It is time for chry- santhemums to be easing off and Thanks- giving will see about the last of them, but even this does not act as a fillip to the market. All the late varieties of mums are now coming in except Mile. Jeanne Nonin, which will be held back for Thanksgiving. Prices show no spe- cial change from a week ago. Rosea are selling better than other flowers and are of fine quality. Carnations are still overabundant and, although the'^^^ality is high, a great many have to be moved at absurdly low prices. There is no special call for Roman hyacinths and Paper Whites, both of which are arriving. A small lot of stevia has made its appearance, and callas are arriving in small lots. Lilies are ex- ceptionally good and sweet peas are coming with much better stems. Lily of the valley is in fair demand, with no change in prices. Violets are becoming abundant, and move rather more slowly. There is a steady call for green goods of , all kinds. Plant trade is picking up a little, there being more call for palms and other decorative plants. Some nicely bloomed cyclamens and primulas are al- ready coming in. Qub Meeting. The' meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' oiub, November 17, attracted a large number of members and the at- tendance was the best seen at a Novem- ber meeting. Eber Holmes, of the Mon- trose GreeSiouses, gave a helpful paper on "What We Can Do to Improve Our Club." It contained much sound, com- mon sense and excellent advice and was highly commended by those who joined in the fesultaqt discussion. Under the new by-laws, nominations of officers for the coming year were this year made from the floor. The names to be voted on at the Dedember meeting were as follows: For president, F. E. Palmer, Wm. Downs, Eber Holmes; vice-presi- dent, W. J. Kennedy, J. W. Duncan, I am sold out of stock as a re- sult of my little advertisement in ^e. but will use your Classified depart- ment again soon, as I know now that it pays to advertise in the Clas- sified pages of your valuable paper. FRED A. ALBRECHT, Jr. BROOKLYN, N. Y. November 3, 1908. Kenneth Finlayson; secretary, W. N. Craig; treasurer, Edward Hatch; execu- tive committee, E. P. M. Miller, J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Robert Cameron, Peter Fisher, Wm. Sim, James Wheeler, Wil- fred Wheeler, Wm. Robb. Six new members were elected. The committee on affiliation with the Chrys- anthemum Society of America reported adversely and the report was accepted. Mr. Farquhar announced that the land- scape classes will start in a few days at 50 cents per member per night. The club voted $25 to assist the classes. Exhibits included two good white seed- ling carnations from E. B. Beals, Springfield; several good seedlings from Peter Fisher; new carnations Pink Pearl and Splendor, from S. J. Renter, which were promising and received honorable mention; My Maryland rose, also from S. J. Renter, received a report of su- perior merit; Violet Baronne Rothschild, from S. W. Fletcher; two vases of roses from Montrose Greenhouses; Chrysan- themum Baby Margaret from Robert Craig Co., which received a report of merit; good Calanthe Veitchii and Pri- mula obconica, from Duncan Finlayson; an excellent white sport from Eaton, from H. F. Woods, which received a re- port of merit. Jfl. discussion on the talk by Eber Hohiies, Wm. Downs, H. A. Stevens, D. Finlayson, K. Finlayson, Wilfred Wheeler, W. J. Kennedy, F. E. Palmer and M. A. Patten joined. Refreshments were served, as usual. Various Notes. There was a rather small attendance at the annual meeting of the Mftssachusetts Horticultural Society, November 14, due, in large measure, to the absence of any contests for the various offices to be filled. The following officers were elect- ed: President, S. M. Weld, third term; vice-president, Charles W. Parker; trustees for three years, W. M. Bowker, C. S. Sargent, Peter Fisher, Thomas Ro- land; delegate to State Board of Ag- riculture, Wilfred Wheeler; nominating committee, N. T. Kidder, Thomas J. Grey, George V. Fletcher, William Sim and William F. Thatcher. The sum of $5,000 was appropriated for prizes for the ensuing year. The market was much stronger No- vember 18; fewer flowers, more demand, higher pricea Daniel Iliffe has bought a farm in South Weymouth. Patrick Welch is suffering with a se- vere cold. His firm is now doing heavy shipping. W. H. Elliott is marketing fine Bon Silene and Safrano from Madbury. The fine group of Garza chrysanthe- mums, illustrated in last Review, was staged at the late Boston show by Sidney Hoffman, and not Thomas E. Proctor, as stated in that issue. This group was one of the best features in the show. If the next national flower show is held in the east, no city can give a finer display of the many spring bloom- ing plants than Boston. Such a show would be much more varied and interest- ing than a fall exhibition, owing to the much greater wealth of flowering ma- terial in pots available. J. T. Butterworth is right in the midst of .his crop of Cattleya labiata, which is this season better than ever and meet- ing with a good sale. Wheeler & Co., of Waban, are cutting large quantities of Cattleya labiata and Oncidium Rogersii. Local visitors to the Chicago national show were duly impressed with its mag- nitude, and are loud in praise of hos- pitalities extended during their visit. William Walke, of Ssdem, has extra fine lots of Lorraine begonias, poinset- tias and Harrisii lilies, in the culture of each of which he is successful. W, N. Craig. DAYTON, OHIO. State of Trade. The Dayton florists, taking everything into consideration, are not able to give a very glowing report as to the condi- tion of last week's business. While it was not altogether dead, still we cannot boast. Several of our florists were at- tending the great national flower show in Chicago, and perhaps their absence ac- counted for these conditions. On Mon- day the prospects were somewhat, en- couraging, but trade for the remainder of the week dropped off considerably. There were a few large decorating jobs done by some of our florists, but stock I was so plentiful that the Quantity of \ .••'irT^'^^^'v^^^'sTv^^ 18 The Weekly Florists' Review^ November 19, 1908. ? flowers they consumed did not make' much impression on the general state of af- fairs. Bright, warm weather prevails, bringing on good crops and first-class stock, and it seems a shame that the market should bo so poor, and that such good stock has to go at a mere sacrifice. Carnations are plentiful and stock could not be better. Roses, in size, color and foliage, ari^fine. Beauties are first- class, and there seems to be a better de- mand for them than would naturally be expected, with trade, in general, so dull. White chrysanthemums are scarce, also the pink, but yellow are plentiful and they certainly are great. Callas and longiflorums are holding their place fair- ly well. Valley, one of the latest ad- ditions to the Dayton market, moves slowly, but better than was expected, while the call for violets is somewhat spasmodic. There is an abundance of smilax, but cut Sprengeri and plumosus are a little scarce. Various Notes. The city of Dayton saw its first snow storm of the season November 13. The storm, however, did not amount to much. All of our florists who attended the flower show in Chicago have returned, and each expresses, the same opinion, that the show was a grand success. None regret the time and money spent in see- ing it. They also speak highly of the banquet and praise the various commit- tees and their chairmen for the success- ful manner in which everything was eon- ductsd. Taking a peep into the greenhouses of the Miami Floral Co., one sees a fine crop of longiflorums coming on, while there are others to follow as soon as the present crop is used. They are also cutting some fine valley and callas, for which, considering the present condition of trade, they find a fairly good mar- ket. Warren G. ^Matthews, upon his return, brought back from tlie Chicago show a handsome specimen, of chrysantheinuin, containing 360 blossoms. The Dayton Floral Co. had a large decoration last week at the Dayton Club, where 200 fancy chrysanthemums were used in decorating, besides palms, etc. The event was a banquet tendered to the traveling salesmen of the Lowe Bros, paint store, by their employers. H. H. Bitter, who had anticipated at- tending the national flower show, was detained from going on account of three large decorating orders, which came in just in time to keep him at home. One of these decorations was for a large Masonic banquet, held in the Dayton Masonic Temple, where 800 Masons par- took of the feast. Another was the deco- ration of the new caf6 at the Algonquin hotel, which was artistically arranged with palms and cut flowers. The third was for a banquet at the Beckel House. M. Anderson reports that since en- larging and improving his store, busi- ness has ,iH*reased considerably. Mrs. George Bartholomew spent a few days in Sycamore, III., last week, where she had a pleasant visit with relatives. Mrs. Herbert Githens, daughter of Warren G. Matthews, accompanied her father to the Chicago flower show. John Boehner says that business over in his section of town has been almost dead for the past two weeks, but he is in hopes the spell will soon break. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Young celebra- ted their fortieth wedding anniversary November 12. Upon their return from their store in the evening, they found their honie beautifully decorated and ta- bles spread with the markets' best pro- ductions, while their home was filled with welcoming friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Young were the recipients of many beautiful gifts. The Goetz Pottery Co. reports the pot business good at present. George Bird, of Sidney, O., visited some of our local florists last week, R. A. B. PITTSBURG. The Market The Englishman's description of our climate, "One minute you are roasted and toasted, the next you are up to your blooming knees in snow, ' ' is not so much out of place, since only two weeks ago geraniums, salvia and alyssum were nicely in bloom in our garden and today the ground is covered by four inches of snow. Everyone, however, seems satisfied, for while they may not have wanted a change in politics, a change in the weather was looked for to improve business. Business, however, started a few days ahead, and while it is scarcely enough to brag about, the commission houses all seemed to be better cleaned up than they have been for some weeks. Even chrys- anthemums, which were a glut all the week, cleaned up at some price, and car- nations showed a slight advance. There was, however, no scarcity of anything. The retail shops are all" making the most of the cheap flowers by keeping up a grand display and doing everything possible to entice people into their places, if only to look. Most of them, liowever, would purchase something, the low prices catching them. Various Notes. The Zieger Co. celebrated its first an niversary Saturday. The store room was beaiilifully decoratod; and us business was good. Mr. Zieger Avas at his best. While last year was not a ])articularly good year for business, this firm has got- ten a fair share of what has been going and now is satisfied that it is thoroughly established and ready for the better things which all believe are coming. A. W. Smith, who has been advertising in the street cars for several years, has a novel card in at present, which reads as follows: "We get the highest price in the city for our violets and still we sell more than any other florist." This they backed up by a window display of violets and their own special violet boxes and ribbons, which was attractive enough to hold the people notwithstanding the snow and rain. Directly in the rear of the window, but in view of the street, was a dining table, set completely, with floral decorations, china, silverware and candies, which was the special attraction of the women, but the men did not pass it by. Mrs. E. A. Williams, the only woman in the business in this city, is the only retailer who has not complained of bad business during the present depression. Since her vacation last summer, her trade has been such as to keep her better than busy. W. C. Drewes, the Braddock florist, re- ports two new firms about to open in his town. They are all men without experi- ence, but they see the money there is in it. The Pittsburg delegation to the na- tional flower show reports a splendid show and a good time. The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. won two prizes on carnations, but was unfortunate in not getting its chrysanthemums from the ex- press company in time to stage for judging. The Pittsburg Florist Exchange has been having fine Beauties. J. B. Murdoch & Co. are still the val- ley people. The McCallum Co. is showing white violets. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has been pushing chrysanthemums and carnations. Frank Myers, of Chestnut Hill, Phila- delphia, and W. R. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., stopped in the city on their way east. B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., was looking up the trade here last week. Hoo-Hoo. OBITUARY. George M. Kellogg. George M. Kellogg, Pleasant Hill, Mo., who has been in feeble health for many months, died at midnight, November 15, of acute nephritis. The funeral was held November 17 from his late residence and was attended by many in the trade in his section. George M. Kellogg was born in West- field, Mass.. April 16, 1838. He had been located at Pleasant Hill, Mo., for many years, where he originally was en- gaged in the dairying business, but early perceiving the development which was to come in the greenhouse industry, he started in a small way, conducting his greenhouses in connection with his other business enterprises. For many years everything that he undertook turned out to be exceptionally successful, and this applied to the greenhouse end of his busi- ness as well as to other branches. Rapid additions to the glass were the rule and now nearly 400,000 square feet are cov- ered, there being in all some seventy greenhouses. A little over a year ago the establishment came into the public eye through the wrecking of one of the' ranges by the most terrific boiler explo- sion which ever occurred in a greenhouse establishment. As an instance of Mr. Kellogg 's great energy it may be stated that on the same morning that the acci- dent occurred he bought boilers by tele- graph, two carloads of glass, and made other arrangements for rebuilding. The plant was restored in record time. Mr. Kejlogg grew a full line of cut flowers and plants and did a large ship- ping business with the trade in the southwest, both from his greenhouses at Pleasant Hill and from his wholesale and retail store at 906 Grand avenue, Kansas City. ,The business will be carried on as the George M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. Mr. Kellogg was taken ill in March with an attack of pneumonia, from which he never rallied. July 1 he went to a sanitarium at Battle Creek, where for ten days he appeared to gain rapidly, but it was found that his heart and lungs both were affected. He returned home and passed through a period of weeks of al- ternate rallies and sinking spells. .It was his earnest determination to regain his health and resume business activities. He took great interest in all the affairs of the trade. He was a regular at- tendant at the S. A. F. conventions and at the big flower shows. He had some fifty-five men on the place and their welfare always was his interest. It was his practice to treat them to a quar- > November 19, 1908.

He was easily the leading citizen of Pleasant Hill, and his demise is regarded there as a public loss. S. W. Flower. Stevens W. Flower, president of the S. W. Flower Co., the Toledo grass seed merchants, died at 3 o'clock on the morning of November 13. He was taken with a congestive chill at 3 o'clock the afternoon before and sank rapidly after the attack. Mr. Flower was 76 years of age and had been prominent in the commercial life of Toledo for forty years. Although he had practically retired as head of the commission house about ten years ago, leaving his nephew, C. S. Burge, in con- trol, he kept in touch with business af- fairs and visited the office from time to time. Mr. Flower was a philanthropist in the finest sense of the word, but his giving was so quiet and unostentatious that the world knew little of it. The notable ex- ception to this was his gift to the Door of Hope four years ago, when he pur- chased the Sprague home and after fit- ting it up with the most modern con- veniences and enlarging it gave it out- right to the board of directors of that charity. Mr. Flower was born in Clayton, Jef- ferson county, N. Y., August 21. 1832. He enlisted in the Tenth New York artillery at the outbreak of the Civil War and served until the close. When the war was over he located in Maumee, O., in September, 1865. He engaged in the milling " business there with George W. Eeynolds, and in 1868 removed to To- ledo. He was married at Maumee in September, I860, to Frances B. Reyn- olds, daughter of his business partner, George W. Reynolds. She died eleven Tears later. In 1874 he was married to Miss Ellen Burge, of Maumee, and her death was a blow from which he never fully re- covered. Immediately after coming to Toledo Mr. Flower engaged in the grain and grass seed business of which he was so many years the head. He was a member of St. Paul's M. E. church for many years, and Dr. R. D. Hollington, of St. Paul 's, assisted Dr. T. N. BarkduU, a life-long friend, in the funeral service, which took place No- vember 16. Toledo Post, G. A. R., was the only organization apart from the church with which Mr. Flower was connected. John A. Nisbet. Stricken with apoplexy while riding up College Hill in an electric car on the evening of November 10, John A. Nis- bet, one of the best known landscape gardeners and florists of Providence. R. I., fell dead from his seat. Mr. Nisbet had apparently been in his usual health during the day. He was born in See- konk, Mass., in 1844 and when a boy worked on the old Elmgrove Farm. Much attention was devoted to flowers of all kinds, and to landscape gardening, and Mr. Nisbet, as a boy, showed particular aptitude for this line of work. Leaving the farm, he worked for several est.'ites as florist and gardener and eventually entered business for himself. For many years he conducted, greenhouses just outside of the city, but for the last few years had devoted himself to landscape work, although having charge of several of the estates of wealthy eastside resi- dents. He married Miss Margaret Mc- Lane about thirty-five years ago. She survives him. There are no children. James Lewis. .Tames Lewis died at his home on Algoma street. Oshkosh, Wis., November 7. He had bo'en failing for some time, but was not seriously ill until about a week before his death. He was born in- Herefordshire, England, in 1833. In 1873 he came to America with his first wife. He was for a number of years the manager of the greenhouses and gar- dens at the Northern State Hospital for the Insane. Since then he had been em- ployed as florist by Edgar P. Sawyer. He was highly successful in his profes- sion. He is survived by his wife, Alletta Lewis, and the following daughters and sons : George Lewis, of Puyallup, Wash. ; Dr. Alfred Lewis, of Valentine, Neb.; James Lewis, Jr., of Minneapolis; Mrs. Joseph La Pine, Mrs. Florence Hough, Mrs. Anna Goodland, Howard T. Lewis, Bessie and May Lewis. Mrs* Daniel E. Gorman. Mrs. Gorman, wife of Daniel E. Gor- man, of Williamsport, Pa., passed peace- fully away November 3, after a lingering and painful illness. Mrs. Gorman was a faithful helpmeet of her husband, and took active interest in their business, which in eight years has grown to a fairly good sized plant, consisting of some 40,000 square feet of glass. A woman of much energj^, sterling char- acter and many attractive qualities, her death is mourned by a large circle of friends. She is survived by her husband and an adopted daughter. Joseph Bradford. Joseph Bradford, a pioneer resident of Columbus, O., died Sunday, November 8, at his home, 26 South Garfield avenue, as the result of uremic poisoning. He had been confined for some time prior to bis last illness. He was a well-known flo- rist and an authority upon botany, but spent the last years of his life in other occupations. Seven children and a widow survive. Will Greinq-. Will Greiner, of Bridgeport, O., was instantly killed November 6, in a run- away accident. E. Leedham. E. Leedham, the well-known bulb grow- er, died at his home in Santa Cruz, Cal., November 5, at the age of 80 years. He was a genial, kindly gentleman, as well as an expert in his profession, and his death is inourned by a wide circle of friends. Mr. Leedham was born in Leicestershire, England, but emigrated to Nova Scotia in his early manhood. Later he removed to California and lived for some years in San Luis Obispo county be- fore making his home in Santa Cruz, six- teen years ago. He founded the business now conducted by the Leedham Bulb Co., and was its active manager till the time of his death. Stratford, Conn. — Henry Meachen is making preparations for the erection of a greenhouse, to take the place of the one recently destroyed by fire. NORTHBORO, Mass. — J. L. Moore, pro- prietor of the Northboro Dahlia and Gladiolus Gardens, says that orders are now over four times what they were at the same date last year, and that if the present volume of business keeps up long, he will be obliged to refuse whole- sale orders, so as to protect retail and mail order trade, although his stock is more than doube last year's supply. His orders are largely from old customers, who prophesy a heavy trade in bulbs and general stock in the coming spring. ^ ■ ■ , ■ .■-•■• .' . ■ ■■■I' .■ . ! . %!^'^^Tv^J^ww>^W^ - i ■■*■ ( 20 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Work of the Coauaittees* New YdbK, Nov. 11. — No. 1, light pink, Japanese incurved, exhibited by George Hale, Seabright, N. J., scored 85 points exhibition scale. The name of the variety Golden Har- vest, which was shown before the Phila- delphia committee October 26, has been changed to Golden King. David Fbasee, Sec'y. NEPHROLEPIS SCHOLZELL Herman Scholzel, a well known New Jersey grower, discovered a sport in his bench of Scottii fern two years ago, propagated it and named it Nephrolepis Scholzeli. It is the Scottii fern crested in the well known form of the crested sports of Boston. Mr. Scholzel disposed of his stock to the Henry A. Dreer Co., which has been exhibiting the fern at all the autumn flower shows. It has secured a long list of awards, including the Shaw gold medal for best new plant at St. Louis. It is illustrated on page 13. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. A meeting of the executive committee of the American Rose Society was held at the Coliseum, Chicago, Thursday even- ing, November 12. President Poehlmann occupied the chair, and among those pres- ent were Vice-president Wm. P. Kasting, Buffalo; Secretary Benjamin Hammond, Fishkill, N. Y.; ex-President Robert Simpson, Clifton, N. J.; Fred Burki, Pittsburg; W. R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; Alex. Montgomery, Natick, Mass., and several others. The detail work of preparation for the Buffalo meeting and exhibition was up for consideration. The secretary reported that the society is for the first time free from debt and has a balance of $59.98 in the treasury. The annual report will shortly be issued. CHARLES W. JOHNSON. Charles W. Johnson, the new secretary of the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- ica, is well known as the foreman of the greenhouse establishment of the H. W. Buckbee concern, at Rockford, HI. Mr. Johnson was once in charge o£ the green- houses at Mount Greenwood cemetery, Chicago, where W. N. Rudd grows chrys- anthemums and carnations, and he was, during an interval in the service with H. W. Buckbee, in business for himself on the Pacific coast. He is a skilled grower and an admirable selection for the sec- retaryship of the society. His portrait appears on page 15 of this issue. A FLORISTS' SUPPLEMENT. One of the sections of the Washington Times for Sunday, November 8, was de- voted exclusively to the floricultural in- terests of the national capital. The first page, with its decoration in colors, was devoted to a history of the local Florists ' Club, which W. R. Smith says dates back to 1822, and to an account of the plans for the 1908 exhibition. The other pages carried illustrated accounts of the flori- cultural interests and the advertisements of local florists. Gude Bros. Co. and F. H. Kramer had full pages. There were several half pages and many smaller ad- vertisements of retail florists. This is said to be the first time that any metropolitan newspaper has devoted an entire section of a Sunday issue to florists and flower shows. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. All things considered, business was quite fair at the end of last week, and shipping trade was good at the beginning of the present period. City trade is not yet active and in many cases country buyers are still selling their own chrys- anthemums and not yet calling on this market. As soon as the out-of-town buy- ers are cleaned out of the chrysanthe- mums they are growing in their own houses, this market will feel the effect. If this occurs before Thanksgiving day, it will result in a scramble for stock which will affect prices. Receipts are reduced in many lines, but prices are not any too strong, because of the intermittent demand. An occasional rush of shipping orders will stiffen the market and when these are out values will recede again. There continues to be a wide variation between the prices which are obtained on regular business and those which it is necessary to make to induce the irregular buyers to clean up the picked-over stock. It would take only a slight increase in demand to cause Beauties to become a pronounced shortage. Receipts are light, but there are enough Beauties to go around except of the shorter lengths, which are of course the ones called f6r in largest quantity. There are fair re- ceipts of all other roses, Killamey and Richmond being most numerous, and it is possible to fill all orders for roses with first grade stock. Carnations have improved steadily in quality and the quantity is equal to re- quirements, so that the growers who still NOVBMBKB 19, 1908.

There will be an improvement in the market for carnations as soon as the mums are gone. The fine late sorts of chrysanthemums are now in and so abundant that values are below normal. There has been some reduction in the receipts of small mums, but enough Ivory come in to meet this demand and hold the prices on this grade' at a low level. Yellow sells best. Bon- naffon makes fair average prices, though not up to last year. There has been a reduction in the re- ceipts of violets from Ehinebeck and some advance in prices. It has not been possible to supply all late orders. Lo- cally grown singles are not yet abundant. The supply of valley continues ahead of the demand and there are plenty of Eas- ter lilies for all orders booked a day in advance; usually enough for the late telegraphic orders. Sweet peas have not increased in quantity. There are a few pansies. Cattleyas have shortened up. The market for greep goods is unchanged. Various Notes. Growers who are holding back stock for Thanksgiving ought to ship it in right away. No matter what the market is this week, it will be worse just before .Thanksgiving if a lot of pickled stock is unloaded on the wholesalers. If only normal receipts come in the first of next week there will be good business for everyone. The Fleur do Lis Club, largely com- posed of the young ladies at Eandall's, gave a very successful dance at the Svit- hoid club, November 12. George C. Hartung has an attractive place at 11816 Michigan avenue and says business is increasing rapidly. He says he expects soon to need more greenhouse room. George W. Cohen, representing Wert- lifcimer Bros., New York, was in town during tlie national flower show. He had just returned from a trip through the west and says business is entirely normal in that section, with the prospect for a record business this winter. The A. L. Randall Co. says the first few days the visiting florists were in town were devoted to looking around, but as time for departure approached the vis- itors become anxious to place orders. Everyone in its supply department was crowded with the work of writing down orders; it was no question at all of sell- ing. Bassett & Washburn report that in flower show week they had 348 visitors at their greenhouses at Hinsdale. There were over 200 in two days. Most of the visitors were specially interested in the O. P. Bassett carnation. Many left or- ders and many others are sending them in since returning home. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Beu met with a great and sudden loss last week in the death of their youngest son, Frank, 13 years of age, who died after only one day's illness. He was at the flower show November 7 and at school November 10. The funeral was held November 12 and many in the trade sent floral emblems of sympathy. E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., says that he thinks Diana is the best of all the small-flowered chrysanthemums. A large number of the wholesalers have it now and the retailers use it freely for baskets and table centerpieces. Mr. Pieser says it is one of the most readily salable items of present stock when it is well grown, but not specially salable if not well done. E. C. Amling says business now is run- ning well ahead of this date last year. The forcing of valley is a new de- parture with H. Payne, of Hinsdale. He consigns it to Vaughan & Sperry, E. H. Hunt is receiving some splendid Timothy Eatons from E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., also fine exhibition blooms from H. W. Buckbee, Rockford. Hunt's report a great business in the supply department when the flower show visitors were in town. N. J. Wietor wears the cheerful air these days, because business is well ahead of last year at this date. Percy Jones says he looks for violets and Beauties to be the two shortest items for Thanksgiving. The E. F. Winterson Co. put its new green, called Mexican ivy, on the banquet tables at the Auditorium' November 10, and everybody liked it. August Poehlmann says they cleaned out 12,000 Virginia Poehlmann mums as fast as they were ready to cut and could easily have used a much larger quantity. There is a first-class demand for stock plants and young stock of this variety. J. A. Budlong's say they are just com- ing into crop again and are looking for a good month. At Peter Reinberg's Leonard Kill says the showing made by the Marshall Field rose is bringing a gpod many orders for young stock. C. W.

He got his stock much earlier than last year, the first lot October 1 and all in by October 17, and a big houseful, about one-third as many as he will have for Easter, are now well along for Christ- mas. The stock is all heavily budded this year. Mr. Oechslin forces only the stand- ard commercial varieties and not so many large plants as a few years ago.

The opening of the opera season No- vember 17 occasioned a surprising de- mand for violets. The growers were caught . unprepared, owing partly to the arrival of winter, which came unexpect- edly November 14, in a snowstorm fol- lowed by a drop in the temperature, and partly to the late moving of plants into the houses. Those who had violets en- joyed an active business at advanced prices. Hightstown and the Hudson river contributed Lady Campbell and Marie Louise, respectively, to aid really superb singles in meeting the demand, and a fair showing was made. Chrysanthemums have shortened con- siderably since last report. Major Bon- naffon is here, but is expected to leave shortly. Mrs. Chadwick, Mrs. Jerome Jones and Timothy Eaton, all in white and yellow; Golden Dome, yellow, and Mme. J. Rosette, pink, about complete the list of the varieties that are doing duty now and are expected to remain until after Thanksgiving. Prices have advanced, with the probability that they will remain high for all good stock until the close of the autumn queen's season. Carnations are fine, plentiful, and un- satisfactory. By unsatisfactory I mean that they are selling too cheaply. For some reason, prices have not advanced as they should, except on thousand lots. which are quoted a little higher than a week ago. Indications point to an ad- vance in the carnation market, an ad- vance that is badly needed. Roses are improving in quality. Beau- ties have become more plentiful. While they are selling well, there is no im- provement in price, the supply being ful- ly equal to the demand. Brides and Maids have improved, some really su- perb stock being seen. Richmond are plentiful and of splendid quality. Ex- cellent flowers of all the other varieties of roses can now be found. Bouvardia is coming in strongly, pink and red being the prevailing colors. Ro- mans and Paper Whites have made their appearance. Stevia serrata is also here. Orchids are a trifle scarcer. Cattleya labiata is making its last bow, while C. TriansB is coming to the front. Yandas, oncidiums, dendrobiums, and cyps give an excellent range of color. Lilium Har- risii has shortened considerably, the price hardening. Greens are abundant. The tone of the market, while not buoyant, is better. For quotations, see wholesale list. A Floral Arcadia. Fred Ehret sent out invitations for a chrysanthemum show, to be held in his combined stores at 702 North Broad street and 1407 Fairmount avenue, No- vember 11 to 13. The show, believed to be the first formal affair of the kind conducted by a commercial florist, was also an opening for Mr. Ehret 's new Broad street store. The two run at right angles with each other, meeting in a conservatory at the rear of both, so that the visitor may enter the front door at 702 North Broad street, go back through the store to the conservatory and, turn- ing to his left, go through the store and out through the front door of the store at 1407 Fairmount avenue. Mr. Ehret had gathered all the choicest available material to be found in the Philadel- phia market. There were specimen blooms of all the leading commercial varieties of chrysanthemums, many of the best flowering and foliage plants and NOVKMIIEK 19, 1008.

Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry A. Dreer Co., will speak on "Civic Adornment" in Pittsburg this week. Mr. Thilow 's lecture before the Baltimore Florists' Club was a great success. It was ladies' night. Lilley & Upton received a handsome gift anonymously, the word "Prosper- ity" being the only clue to the sender. They desire the Eeview to extend their thanks to their well wisher. Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., gives the cheering news that since the election the buyers are buying with far more confidence. The Moore-Livingston Co. made a handsome exhibit of its new plant stand in Horticultural hall last week. James C. Clark, of the Henry A. Dreer Co., who is recognized as one of the leading fern experts of the country, says that Nephrolepis Scholzeli is the best crested fern today. Mr. Clark bases his judgment on the fact that N. Scholzeli is an exact counterpart of N. Scottii in every respect excepting that it is crested, and it is free from the drawback of nearly all crested varieties, of being too dense at the base.

The Market. Trade was not as good last week as the week before. There is still a lack of steadiness among the retailers, and some of our leading store men say that about half of the week was good, while the other half was slack. The principal work done by the north and south and down- town florists is for funerals, while the west-enders' work is for weddings, din- ners and other social work. At our wholesale houses last week all had an abundance of stock in roses, carnations and chrysanthemums, with de- mand light during the last three days of the week. As to prices, all grades were selling low. The wholesaler was compelled to do this in order to dispose of his consignments. Violets have been in demand, and the few that come clean up pretty well. Lily of the valley has had a fair de- mand. In roses the quality is fine, especially in Ivory, Chatenay, Potter Palmer, Bride and Maid. American Beauties were plen- tiful, Avith extra specials at $3 per dozen. Carnations, too, are fine, with Rose-pink and White Eni-hantress among the fancies. Nelson Fisher, Lawson and Perfection come next. Chrysanthemums are in abundance, Avith all the late vari- eties in. Some extra fine blooms of Eaton, Bonnaflfon and Morel were seen. All sorts of greens are to be had. Smi- lax and asparagus have a good call. Club Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Flo- rists' Club took place Thursday night. November 12. This is the first night meet- ing the dub has held for many years, and it did not prove a great success, there being onlv fourteen members pres- ent out of a membership of nearly 100. It was thought that the large number of new members, mostly employees, admit- ted at the October meeting would take advantage of the night meetings, this night being especially chosen for them, but none showecl up. The meeting was held in the Knights of Columbus hall.

Pilcher, of Kirkwood, is sending to this market some extra fine Beacon, White Enchantress and Enchantress car- nations, also a nice cut of California violets.

The Market The market opened this week with steady prices, about on a par with those of Saturday, and with a general tone of encouragement for all departments of the cut flower trade. Growers begin to wear their accustomed fall smiles, whole- salers are clearing out daily at some price, with much smaller surpluses to be sacrificed, and the retailers have every- thing to enthuse them. Weather condi- tions are perfect. There must be prog- ress from now on, and we all look for a splendid Thanksgiving and Christmaa trade.

Prices are better for the selected stock. The flood of medium and common stock is nearly over. There will, how- ever, be enough and to spare of all grades beyond Thanksgiving. Beauties are advancing slowly and holding their ground as they go forward. Some fine Maids and Killarney touched 8 cents November 14, Saturday, though these grades were few and selected. The average top was 6 cents. Orchids have advanced, 60 cents being asked at the end of last week. The carnation supply is heavy, with quality far from uniform, and prices do not move upward. Violets hold at 75 cents for the best, with plenty to go around and some leftovers for the street, where the sidewalk merchants are again much in evidence. The clean-up usually is made at from 25 cents to 35 cents per hundred. Narcissi are here again in limited sup- ply, and selling up to 30 cents a dozen. Lilies are looking up. Growers are warned against any hold- ing back or pickling for Thanksgiving. It is risky business these days, with so many wholesalers building their reputa- tion and stability upon first-class goods. No one dares send out stock of ques- tionable freshness, and the picklers are really the ones who suffer. Various Notes. The Florists' Club's smoker was held at the Grand Opera house, Wednesday evening, November 18. The city was full of gardeners attending the flower show, and all of them were invited to attend. Mr. Rickards had a fine musical program and a splendid collation. It was a gala night and not the last the club will enjoy this season.

The auctions continue. We are having perfect weather for planting in this vi- cinity. The attendance continues large and prices satisfactory. Many ship- ments of boxwood and rhododendrons are made daily. Hardy roses are bringing $10 per hundred. Evergreen stock is in splendid condition. Vesey street monopolizes this method of distribution. The auctioneers declare it has been a successful season, wonderfully so, con- sidering the unrest with which the sell- ing began. John Scott, of Flatbush, is now con- valescing after a narrow escape from his second relapse with typhoid fever. Mr. Whitman, of Hoboken, N. J., has been suffering from a bad case of blood poisoning. He is the husband of our champion lady bowler and one of the popular and successful Jersey florists.

We . By Geoegb H. Stipp. FEW people in San Jose and the -Santa Clara Valley — indeed, few people in the State of California realize that in their midst is an enter- prise of such magnitude that the results of its operations .reach practically the four corners of the earth. In a small and unpretentious building in a modest part of the business section of the city of San Jose is located the mainspring and governor that keeps the mighty ma- chine steadily moving. In other words, the general office of the owner and man- ager may be found at 360 South First street in this city. Reference is made to the Braslan Seed Growers' Company, which is under the able management and control of Major Charles P. Braslan. Here I found a half dozen stenog- raphers and clerks busily engaged in han- dling the immense correspondence of the seed company, and from this point is con- trolled and regulated the details of sev- eral monster seed ranches located in dif- ferent parts of the Santa Clara Valley. Through J^he courtesy of Major Braslan, I was given an opportunity to inspect one of these big ranches which served as an index to the conditions prevailing at the others. The Sweeney Ranch. The one under consideration is known as the Sweeney Ranch, adjoining the Flood estate at Menlo Park, and consists of 835 acres. Here was found work of enormous detail and great magnitude. On this ranch Major Braslan has what he jocularly calls "Tait's Restaurant of San Francisco." It is a building sev- eral hundred feet long and 40 feet wide in which are fed the several hundred hands employed on the farm. It was stated that the men are all served with their meals inside of twenty minutes after they sit down to the table, so per- fect is the culinary and dining-room service. Across the road are the bunkhouses which accommodate 500 men. Each man has separate bunk quarters and is prac- tically in his own castle. These are occu- pied by the Orientals — Japanese and Chi- nese. The white employees, of whom there are also many, have separate living and eating houses. The dining rooms and kitchens are in all cases immaculate. The next thing that attracts the atten- tion is the blacksmith shop, which is fully equipped for all necessary farming pur- poses and at which several men are em- ployed. Office Management. In the office management at this ranch one white nx.an is employed as manager. There are also one Japanese and two Chinese managers. Each of these has a separate office and telephones connecting with the general ranch and outside sys- tems. In the barns, several stablemen have nothing to do but care for the seventy- five head of horses. They must see that they are properly fed, watered and groomed and ready for business by 6 o'clock in the morning. Systematic Operation. Each department of this ranch has its head and that man is held responsible for the conduct of business under his care. Major Braslan does not know any of the men of the rank and file, but he is in con- stant touch with the managers and super- intendents at all of his ranches and looks to them strictly for results. The per- sonnel, equipment, system and discipline on one of these big seed farms may be compared with the conduct of affairs on a big battleship, so methodically is every effort directed. Everybody is working and everything moves on the moment. Wandering out into the field one is astonished at the great expanse of land under cultivation, extending as it does from Menlo Park to Redwood City, two and one-half miles in length. There may be seen an enormous traction engine of sixty-five horse-power, dragging sixteen plows which break the «oil to a depth of twelve inches. From morning to night this big engine covers five miles every trip it makes around the field. After it does its work, another force of men fol- low with harrow and discs which pulver- ize and smooth the ground. After this comes still another force with markers and they mark the rows to receive the seed. This crew again is followed by 200 to 300 men who do the planting by hand. They are accompanied by superintendents who oversee the work that it may not be done amiss and that no man shirks his duties. Extensive Effort. The public little appreciates what all this extensive effort means and mere fig- ures convey but indefinite meanings, yet something of the volume of the work may be understood when it is explained that 2,600,000 pounds of onion bulbs must be planted by the human hand to produce the enormous quantity of onion seed which is raised on this ranch alone. This, too, means indefinite detail. As each bag is opened and the contents are spread on the ground, careful selection is made so that no mixture can take place in the Gladiolus America FOR FORCING StroniTf extra size bnlbs, $5.00 per 100. THOMAS J. CBERLIN. Sinking Spring, Pa. ^ways Mention tbe.... Florists' Review When Writing Advartlawr* propagating of the seed. Each onion is handled inSvidually. It is interesting to note the number of bulbs that are han- dled and it is safe to say 100,000,000 are annually placed in the ground on this ranch, each bulb being planted by hand. In one part of the farm several men with horses were observed operating seed sowers. They were planting lettuce. At some distance, perhaps a mile or two away, another crew of men was planting sweet peas. In other fields other crops were being sown. Many Men Employed. Upon reaching Major Braslan 's pri- vate residence it was found to be sur- rounded by twenty-one acres devoted to home planting. Among this vegetation were many rare specimens of flowering plants and bulbs intended to beautify the home surroundings and feast the eye of the visitor with plant life out of the or- dinary. At the present time over 600 men are employed on the various ranches owned and operated by the Braslan Seed Grow- ers* Company, and, at some seasons, this number increases to 1,400 and 1,500. All soon learn and must know their places and each man fits into his respective du- ties like the cogs in a great wheel. Of course, large numbers of white men are employed, as many as Mr. Braslan can find able to do the work. On the return to San Jose a short stop was made at the ranch in Sunnyvale, where Major Braslan was in consultation with the chiefs of the several depart- ments and instructing them with refer- ence to new work to be undertaken. As many be imagined, many thousands of dollars are paid out in wages to the hands employed on these big seed farms. This money is spent by the men for things to wear and eat. In the enjoy- ment of the trade from these people every merchant in San Jose and the val- ley towns participates in the prosperity of this big enterprise. Larsfest Seed Farm in World. Major Braslan stated yesterday that the company owns large ranches at Cen- terville, Newark, Sunnyvale, Edenvale, Coyote and in other places. He said fur- ther that the products of these ranches reach every hamlet and town in the United States and Canada and outlets for the trade are found in Havana, New Zealand, China, England and in all for- eign countries. Yet he considers that seed growing in the Santa Clara valley is still in its infancy. It is said that the Sweeney ranch is the largest and best conducted seed farm in the world at the present time; and, when it is in bloom, it is unquestionably the show place of California for beauty in floral culture and display.

The crop of German aster seeds is good, as a result of fine fall weather, and prices are below those of last year. The fall weather has been fine the world over and has aided no little in in- creasing the supply of many items in seeds. The Alexander Seed Co., Augusta, Ga., made a large display at the Georgia- Carolina Fair this season, and considered it an excellent advertisement. The Holland growers say nasturtium is not so large a crop as last year, but prices are lower on a majority of the varieties and no brisk business is being done. IMPORTS.

Vick's Mikado Pink belongs to the Comet class. The outer petals show to their full extent, while toward the center they curl across each other, making a large, full, fluffy flower. The color is between Vick's Branching Pink and Semple's Pink. The growth is that of the Branching type. It is vigorous and did well in the dry season just past. Its period of blooming is between Queen of the Market and Vick's Branching. The firm states its opinion that under favorable conditions flowers can be grown seven and one-half inches in diameter and on stems two feet or more Jong. VALLEY PIPS.

At Erfurt, Germany, the September and October weather was fine and seed crops were handled under most favor- able circumstances. Turnip-rooted beets are short, while the long kinds have done fairly well. Garden kales are good, but the feeding kinds, such as Thousand- head, are scarce. Cabbages and savoys have yielded poorly; still, stocks of some of the leading kinds are heavy and no great advances in price are probable. Brussels sprouts are under average. Some carrots aro plentiful, especially field car- rots, while the shorter sorts of garden carrot are mostly under average. Cauli- flowers are a good crop, and the same may be said of celery, chicory, cucum- ber, tomato and spinach. Endives are fair. Kohlrabi has in general not turned out well, but owing to stocks in hand prices will likely be about the same. Lettuce, radish and parsley are all above the average. Parsnips are fair to good. Of onions the yellow varieties have done well; Zittau is middling, and the red kinds are short. Turnips have yielded freely, except the White Dutch, which is poor. The leading herbs, such as savory, borage, lavender and marjoram, are mostly good crops, sage especially so, whereas thyme has done badly. FALL IMPORTS FROM HOLLAND.

Baylis Bros, and D. H. Green are shipping large quantities of chrysanthe- mums to the Philadelphia market daily. Prices are moderate, but the demand for choice flowers is good. The Conard & Jones Co. is now en- gaged in harvesting its immense crop of cannas. Notwithstanding the dry weath- er during the growing season, the tubers are of a fair size and quality. The shipments of mushrooms from the Dingee & Conard Co. are daily growing heavier. They have yet three houses to fill and expect to do a rousing business in this line this winter. Reports to both floral concerns from their branch nurseries in North Carolina indicate that a large crop of roses will soon be ready to be sent north. Choice varieties of the hybrid and hybrid tea classes have made an excellent growth and will be ready for the trade early next spring. NoETH Augusta, S. C. — At the recent Georgia-Carolina Fair the Boatwright Floral Co., of this city, won thirteen blue ribbons, on chrysanthemums, both blooms and potted plants, and a specimen fern. Second prizes, also, were awarded to the firm, on roses and ferns. The exhibition booth was artistically con- structed in the form of a pergola. BiDGEFiELD, CoNN. — George I. Haight's new greenhouse, on Danbury avenue, ad- joining his oflSce, is a fine, modern build- ing, 30x220 feet. It is heated by hot water, with the boiler room in the center. On account of its modern construction, its compact shape and its connection with the oflBce, it is much more convenient and serviceable than Mr. Haight's for- mer greenhouses on West Lane.

Henderson's New York Lettuce may not be as delicious to the taste as some other varieties, but for a hot weather lettuce I found it to make good last sum- mer when every other variety under cul- tivation failed. And again, when good heading lettuce outdoors seemed out of the question, the latter part of October I had 1,000 or more splendid heads of Hen- derson 's New York, all of such great size and excellent quaUty that I quite suc- cessfully lifted them out of the open ground and planted them in frames, for use as they may be required. B. SOIL STERILIZATION. [A paper by B. H. Thome, of Wooster, C, read at the meeting of greenhouse vegetable growers in Cleveland, October 31, 1908, and begun in the Review of November 12.] StcriUzing by Heat. In sterilizing by heat we can use hot water or steam. Hot water is not practicable except for sterilizing small articles, such as pots or flats placed in a tank of boiling water. It can be used on the cutting bench, but formalin will do better work. Steam contains so much greater an amount of heat that hot water cannot be considered when sterilizing on a large scale. When it is convenient to use steam, it is the best sterilizing agent, as it kills everything, including weed seeds. Steam sterilizing can be done in any of the following ways, using the one that best suits the conditions: By the box method, by steam coils placed temporar- ily in the beds and by tiles placed per- manently in the bottom of the beds. The Box Method. In using the box method a large box is built outdoors on the ground, or a small, movable one is made for indoor work, making it as tight as possible and as large as the capacity of the boiler will allow. In the bottom are placed 1-inch or li/4-inch pipes, spaced from twelve to fifteen inches apart, connected with a header at one end for the inlet of steam and plugged at the other end. The pipes are drilled every four to six inches, with 14 -inch holes for low pres- sure and %-inch or smaller holes for high pressure. All joints should be tight. The holes are turned down and the pipes covered with burlap to keep the dirt out. If possible, the capacity of the holes should be about the same as the capacity of the flow pipe. The soil is thrown into the box from A BED or MUSHROOMS Raised from oar Spawn, will bear lonKer and yl«ld better than from any other variety of Spawn. This is proven by facts.

After the steaming gets well along, the box should be covered tightly with boards and left over night before being emptied. Green lumber is best to use for steaming purposes, as it will not warp as much as dry lumber. In steaming a large amount of soil two boxes would be quite a convenience, as one could be emptied while the other was being steamed. Steamin£ Soil in Beds. In steaming soil in beds, the steam- ing coils are made in sections convenient to handle and half the width of the bed. They are laid on the surface of the bed, with the holes down, and covered with burlap, and the remaining soil is piled on top and the whole boxed in and cov- ered with boards. This is a very laborious method, however, and a far better way is to lay drain tile permanently in the bottom of the bed, about eighteen inches apart, connecting the tile at one end with a header. The openings from the header into the tile should be reduced enough to give an even distribution of steam into each line of tile. The steam pressure in the tiles should not be more than two or three pounds, or it will make blow holes or mud geysers. This method not only sterilizes the soil, but the bot- tom and sides of the bed as well, which is nearly as important as steaming the soil. Treatment After Steaming. In order to get a good crop on steamed soil, the after treatment is as There are no Dry Spotfs with The Skinner System of Garden and Greenhouse Irrigation. === The Skinner Irrisatlon Co. TROY, O.

This can be overcome by thoroughly turning it over several times, breaking it up as fine as possible and allowing it to dry some before each turning. Even then it must be carefully and lightly watered the first few times. Now, this is all of no avail unless you begin at the very beginning; that is, with reference to the seed bed most es- pecially. All flats or pots must be thor- oughly sterilized, as nell as any soil or manure used in growing the plants, and any soil or manure added afterward to the beds. This was impressed upon me last winter, when part of one bed went to the bad. Some of the plants used were grown in old flats and some in new ones. The part of the bed planted from the old flats was badly spotted with ro- sette, while that planted from the new ones was all right. The Resultant Crops. Now, as for the growth of crops on sterilized soil, I have no data except in one instance with a lettuce crop. Thi» ■.''-.■*..••■ NOVJJMBEU 10, 1908.

MARVIN'S, Wilkcs-Barrc, Pa. was a bed planted out after being ster- ilized with formalin, which gave as heavy a crop in two weeks less time than one beside it that had been sterilized with formalin two crops before. The first crop after a formalin sterilization has always seemed to grow faster than at other times, but I am not able to prove it. It is likely that other conditions en- ter in, besides the effect of the formalin. In steamed soil it is necessary to thor- oroughly break it up and dry it some- what, in order to get a quick crop. The cost of formalin sterilization, when buying the formalin from the local drug- gist and using the mixer, has been about three-fifths of a cent per cubic foot. In buying it directly from the manufac- turers or jobbers, the cost can be brought down to about two-fifths of a cent. The cost of the tile method of steam sterilization is about the same as for formalin, while for the soil or box methods it is somewhat more because of the extra labor. The cost of the appa- ratus used is not counted, in either case. Canada's Florist 96 Yongc St.. TORONTO IN HEART OF NEW TORK CITY Phese 2270 38di St. 1204 Broadway, N. Y.

The Mtb annual convention will be held at Ro- chester, June, 1909. Nurseries dealing in hardy phlox are doing a good fall business on this item. In many cases nurserymen find the dry season has retarded growth and stock has not attained the size expected. The Illinois State Horticultural So- ciety will hold its fifty-third annual con- vention at the Agricultural building, Uni- versity of Illinois, at Champaign, Decem- zer 8 to 18. An elaborate program has been prepared, with many demonstrations of nursery and greenhouse practice. The thirty-fourth annual meeting of the Southwestern Iowa Horticultural So- ciety is announced for Council Bluffs, December 15 to 17. A number of west- em nurserymen have places on the pro- gram. There will be a large display of fruit. The National Horticultural Con- gress will be in session at Council Bluffs December 14 to 19, and the National Corn Exhibition, just across the river at Omaha, December 9 to 19. DUTY ON NURSERY STOCaC. On a protest of P. Ouwerkerk, the fol- lowing articles were held dutiable as evergreen seedlings under paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897, as claimed by the im- porter: Aucuba Japonica, rhododendron, and box tree. At the Boston port of entry an article invoicei as Buxus arbor^scens and com- monly known as boxwood, which was classified as nursery stock under para- graph 252, tariff act of 1897, was claimed to be dutiable under the provision in the same paragraph for evergreen seedlings. Appraiser Waite gave the following opin- ion in overruling the protest: ' * That boxwood is an evergreen is con- ceded, but the protestants have not sus- tained their claim that these importa- tions were seedlings. The government has offered in evidence the testimony of the examiner of nursery stock at the port of New York, whose experience and ac- quaintance with such merchandise covers a period of forty years. He states that, although it is possible to raise from the seed such plants as imported, as a matter of fact it is not done; that they are started from cuttings, for the reason that too long a time is required to germinate from the seed. In the light of such testimony and in the absence of any evi- dence sustaining the importers ' claim, we overrule the protest." Chas. D. Stone & Co., customs house brokers, filed a protest relating to seed- lings of white pine and blue spruce, classified as evergreen seedlings under paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897. The importers claim that "both these vari- eties of trees shed their foliage in the winter time, and are therefore manifestly not evergreen," but should be dutiable as nursery or greenhouse stock at twenty- five per cent ad valorem under the same paragraph. Appraiser Waite said: "The above quoted statement of the protes- tants, upon which they base their claim, would seem to have been made in error, for the trees named are perhaps among ROSES for FLORISTS HKAVT 8EUECTXD FORCING GRADX.

At the monthly meeting of the Spring- field Florists' Club, held November 10, the members were highly pleased with a splendid display of chrysanthe- mums and carnations by Clinton L. Reese, to whom a vote of thanks was extended. Mr. Reese briefly explained his methods of growing, stating that the mums, in about ten varieties, had been permitted to produce an average of three blooms to the plant, and it was generally con- ceded, by a number of competent judges present, that the results attained were equal to any flowers seen by them from the houses of the largest growers for critical city trade. Mr. Reese casually remarked that he had grown on his place, not only the flowers, but the vases as well ; where- upon it was discovered that the * ' vases ' ' containing the carnations, which had been taken to be tastefully decorated earth- enware, were simply vase-shaped gourds, with the smaller ends detached and the contents removed. The exhibitor had the laugh on the floral experts, whose eyes were evidently better trained to judge flowers than vases. C. L. Reese and C. C. Leedle were appointed a committee to outline a plan for holding a flower show at 'about this time next fall. The new houses recently erected by Charles Unglaub, Gustav Schneider and the Leedle Rosery Co., together with the enterprise of Mr. Reese and other local retailers, have given a strong impetus to the growing of cut flowers, and there is no reason why Springfield should not take its proper place in this branch of the floral indus- try, as well as in the mail order busi- ness and wholesale rose and plant grow- ing. The topic for the evening was "Con- struction and Heating of Greenhouses," and quite an interesting informal dis- cussion was held, the vacuum system of heating receiving chief attention. Mr. Mellen, for the program commit- tee, reported that E. G. Hill, of Rich- mond, Ind., who had been requested to talk to the club on the subject of his frequent trips to Europe, had designated December 14 as the date for his coming, and it is probable that the regular meet- ing for next month will be changed to the date named.

Knopf A grand variety; comes into bloom early and remains steady tbe balance of the season. One of the best varieties that bas^ver been introduced, and bound to surpass the grand old variety, Enchantress, from which it is a seedling. Description;— 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 stiffness that gives it a grand make up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stiffer, it keeps and 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 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 50 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 tbe old variety. Enchantress. Y3««|^-«r Beautiful scarlet-crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. The Fize of f^Vl U 7 ^^^ fiower 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, givicg the flower freedom to expand. The habit ia ideal; easy to handle: does well from field or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 60 to 52. Very free producer and fcOEtinuIng throughout the season. The stem is 24 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 to give satisfaction and find a place among the standards. Tlie above varieties, $12.00 per 100;. $100.00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate.

COLUMBUS, OHIO. The Market Trade has been steadily on the increase and loads of stock have been moved in the last two weeks. The bulk of the midseason mums is cut now and the later ones are making their appearance. There has really been no glut on the market here, though a great many more mums were grown than heretofore and it was predicted they would be overdone. This shows how the demand is increasing for the beautiful. Roses and carnations are coming in finely and at times it looked as though there would be a glut on roses, but, taking it all around, these have been very satisfactory. There have been a number of weddings lately, which have helped to swell the receipts for November. Violets are coming in better and find fairly good sales. QubMeetins;. At the meeting of the Florists' Club, Tuesday evening, -November 10, there were some good mum blooms. While the number was not largfe, they made a good showing. Several songs and several selec- tions on the piano were rendered during the evening and were much enjoyed. The following oflBcers were elected for the coming year: President, R. A. Currie; vice-president, C. P. Torrey; treasurer, J. Reichert; secretary, James McKellar; sergeant-at-arms, J. H. Williams; trus- tees, Sherman Stephens, George Bauman, I. D. Seibert, William Metzmaier and C. D, Batelle. A good number went from here to the national flower show and all report a fine time and a great show. J. M. Des Moines, Ia. — The Society of Iowa Florists will hold a meeting at the Capi- tol building, December 9, in connection with the meeting of the State Horticul- tural Society. Hamilton, Ont. — McKay & Vossen have done remarkably well since their o|)ening day, November 2. They say that cut flowers move slowly, but there is a good demand for funeral work. Mr. Connon reported a good demand for cut flowers on Saturday, November 7, for Thanksgiving. CHRYSANTHEMUMS Golden Glow and Pacific Supreme, our last springfs Novelties, have been well received by the commercial growers. Their verdict for our 1909 sorts can not be other than satisfactory. They possess commercial qualifications that are sure to make them popular. They have all been certificated by the Chrysanthemum Society of America. Early planting and early buds are not imperative, as they produce double flowers when planted late. Gloria, an early Enchantress-piok, October 10 to 25. Prcs.

COLUMBUS, OHIO. Adolph H. Campe, who since last spring has been employed as landscape artist on the Hartman Stock Farm, about five miles from this city, says that he is busy in the work of transforming thirty- eight acres of the farm into a park. He says that the proprietor is also planning to bulla greenhouses and carry on hor- ticultural operations on a large scale. In the center of the farm, Mr. Campe says, is an elevation which is agreed to be the highest ground in Franklin county, being fifty feet higher than the famous Arlington Heights, near Cincin- nati. It was formerly known as Spang- ler's Hill, but has recently been rechris- tened Hartman Crest. This hill, whose surface is about twenty-five acres in ex- tent, is a part of the tract which Mr. Campe is laying out as a park. The Hartman Stock Farm has an area of about 5,000 acres. It is locally known as the White City, on account of the fact that the buildings are all painted white. It is owned by Dr. S. B. Hart- man, the proprietor of the Peruna Drug Mfg. Co. As the farm is already distin- guished for the fine breeds of horses and other animals which are raised on it, it seems probable that the new horticul- tural enterprise will also be successful.

The Market The dark weather caused a shortage of flowers the first part of the week. Car- nations and violets are still in arrears, but roses are plentiful. The temperature dropped considerably, and heavy frosts are experienced. Varioot Notes. The sympathy of the trade is with Leo Brandt, of the City Workhouse, who lost bis wife last week. Minneapolis florists visiting the Chi- cago show express themselves as highly satisfied, and all, apparently, had a good time. A. Hans, representing K. J. Kuyk, of Ghent, Belgium, is the forerunner of the Holland salesmen who favor us from now until spring. M. E. M. Wyandotte, Mich. — John E. Smith re- cently held a two days' flower show at his place, to mark the opening of his remodeled and enlarged greenhouses. When Mr. Smith came here, nearly six- teen years ago, he opened a greenhouse in a small building which formerly stood on the same corner where he is now lo- cated. About four years ago adjoining land was purchased and three houses were built on the Poplar street frontage. Last year several more new buildings were erected on Second street, and the present establishment covers 8,000 square feet of ground. • llRf^UinC FRESHLY UnvrilUd IMPORTED We offer a superb lot of the well-known Cattleya Glgas Sanderlana, also C Bogot- ensis, both just unpaclced, in perfect condition.

The Market. Trade last week was good. Social events were numerous and created a good demand, while there was a good call for funeral flowers. The quantity of mate- rial arriving, however, is more than the market can use, so in some instances prices ruled low, especially on carnations and chrysanthemums. With the passing - of the mums an improvement may come, for it is certainly much wanted. Roses are plentiful in all varieties and the quality has improved steadily since good weather came. Carnations are far too abundant and likely will be so until the mum season is over. The price does not seem to move them, and they are of midwinter quality, too. There has been some complaint that the Eose-pink En- chantress is not a good keeper. Violets are coming in now in fair qual- ity, and the quantity is enough to meet all demands. It looks as if there would be a plenti- ful supply of all kinds of flowers for Thanksgiving. Variotis Notes. The great society event of the season, so far, was the Evans-Cheeseman wed- ding, it perhaps having more elaborate decorations than any that preceded it. The work was done by E. F. Neiman, of the Park Floral Co. Mr. and Mrs. Koss S. Mahan and daughter, of the Columbine Floral Co., expect to go to California for Mr. Ma- han 's health. He has been in poor health for some time. E.

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 ?

The article in the Eeview of October 29, in reference to the use of extracts of tobacco, was quite clear, but I would like to ask when is the best time to spray? It is stated it should be done when the thrips are feeding. How often should it be done? I. A. P. On cloudy days and evenings are suit- able times to apply nicotine extracts. There is more danger of injury by burn- ing if spraying is done while the sun- shine falls on the plants. So much de- pends on the varieties of plants which need spraying, that it is difficult to ad- vise you how often to apply the nicotine. If you have a bad dose of thrips, give sprayings on alternate days for a week. After that once in a week or ten days will keep the thrips and aphis in hand. C. W. ANOTHER BULB GROWER'S VIEW. Now that Mr. Beid has had his final say, may I have one? He has moderated his tone, but I trust the trade will con- ceive he is going beyond reason when he talks of "eliminating" the southern grown bulb flowers. There are plenty who are pleased to handle them and do not wish them eliminated. Such a thing will not occur. On the contrary, it would be an easy matter for us to com- bine as the Bhinebeck people have done, and market our own stock, although it will not come to that. As an onlooker in this controversy, I thank you for the advertisement you have given the south- ern bulb stock. I have no doubt it will bring us many direct orders. In conclusion, as to demoralizing the market, I fear it is often in this state. What is doing it now? And what did it last May? At that time we were not demoralizing it, and yet we bought the best carnations we ever saw at $X0 per thousand at Philadelphia. They were worth about half this at New York. As to our flowers being a side issue, this is wrong. By selUng the blooms we can afford to and do sell our bulbs at fifty per cent below the cost of imported stock. If our shipments get in the way of florists who force bulbs, they are very slow, because we do not ship until March, which leaves them January and February. We force one house and we fire sufficiently to clear it by February 20. I think this should explain away the gentleman's objection. W. 0. D'Alcorn. NOT A QUESTION OF ETHICS. In regard to Mr. Eeid's and Mr. Guille's bulb discussion, I do not see that the right of one or the other to do or not to do has much bearing on the question, for that question is not an ethical proposition, but a business prop- osition, and will settle itself, as all other such questions settle themselves, on a basis of profit and loss. Ethics nave no standing or show when they come in con- tact with the mighty dollar; not even our sacred law stands much of a chance nowadays. Why sh^jlild ethics in busi- ness be an exception? i.' ji ;. If the bulb grower" fn Virginia finds it profitable to grow outdoor cut flow- ers from his bulbs and ship them north, he has the inalienable right to do so, even if every producer in the north of glass-grown forced cut flowers or bulbs has to go out of business in that line. It will not come to that, of course, but if it did those northern growers would disappear from the markets as bulb-con- sumers. Then the question would revert to the grower of bulbs: is there profit enough in his cut flower sales to make up for the loss of sales on bulbs from the men he has forced out of that line? If there is, you will find him selling all the cut flowers he can produce, or find a market for, in spite of any business ethics. If there is not, the gentlemen Mdll quit it of their own volition. They will soon find out that they can't eat their cake and have it, too. J. J. NUSSBAUMEK. Waco, Tex. — At a meeting of florists, held at the Business Men's Club rooms October 26, it was determined to have a flower show here sometime in Novem- ber, the action being taken independently of the Waco Floral Society, the officers and directors of which had decided to eliminate the annual exhibit this year.

In recent years there has been a pro- nounced improvement in the character of the heating systems of the leading greenhouse establishments. Quite a num- ber now operate electric lighting plants of their own and several have artificial refrigerating plants, operated in connec- tion with their boiler plants. Added to the need for economy in fuel, a good many greenhouse owners have found themselves confronted with the ques- tion of the smoke nuisance, and much in- terest has been taken in the various sys- tems employed in power plants to meet these needs. The F. R. Williams Co., Cleve- land, has just put in its second Murphy Automatic Smokeless Furnace. This is only applicable to high pressure steam boilers. The first one gave them such good results that a second was installed. In common with all mechanical stokers, it feeds the coal without opening the fire doors, thus adding to efiiciency and economy. The fire also is cleaned and the ash removed automatically. The feed being in continuous operation, there is no period of belching smoke, the chimney being almost clear. The Pittsburg Eose & Carnation Co., Bakerstown, Pa., also has put in two of these stokers at a cost of $1,850. dNONNATL The Market Business here is still quite satisfac- tory and we have every reason to be hopeful that it will continue so. The demand seems to be a steady one, and while there are days when business is not quite up to the mark, it usually happens that the following day makes up for it, and the general average is what counts, after all. There have been quite a num- ber of coming-out receptions and parties, and these have used up a great quantity of stock, and it is always the best stock, too. The average price of all varieties of flowers is gradually moving upward, with every prospect that the prices ob- tained at Thanksgiving will be good. There has also been a great deal of funer- al work, of which large sprays of mums have formed a great part. We had the first snow of the season November 13, but it was light. Good, hard frosts occur every night. In fact, so far as the weather is concerned, we are in winter. The sky is clear most of the time, though, and ijOiat makes conditions pretty good in" the green- houses. Stock is coming in fine shape, and the quality is first-class, but the bright weather has been forcing it along pretty fast, and we are beginning to wonder what will happen should a couple of weeks of dark, cloudy weather be handed out to us. Thanksgiving day is now upon us, and we are ready to welcome it.

K^J-'JSy''''^''''---'!'^^^^ November 19, 1908. ERIE, PA. The Market We are having much rain at present and have not had much cold weather yet. During these gloomy days many potted plants find their way into the homes. Gloire de Lorraine begonias, cyclamen and lily of the valley are among the specimen plants, while ferns in di£ferent varieties still hold their own. Large Cibotium Schiedei are seen in the floral stores and they are used much for decorating. Many dances are scheduled for this winter and more or less decorating will be done. Various Notes. A. J. Baur has gone ou a business trip to Chicago. Harry Kesaler, of the Scranton Flo- rists' Supply Co., was in the city this week. Charles Oflferle has moved into his new home on West Ninth street. Mr. Wolf is occupying the residence connected with Offerle & Schaal's greenhouses. Boman Olskewski has opened a new floral store on Parade street. Lewis Walker, an employee of the Baur Floral Co., has returned from a visit in Harbour Creek, Pa. Vern Schlurafl: is well pleased with the prospects for his retail store. in Con- neaut, O. Convenient transportation by trolley enables him to keep up a good stock in his store, supplied by his green- houses in Erie. The distance is thirty- two miles. B. P. Beloit, Wis. — J. C. McMaster, who has greenhouses at 1141 West Grand avenue, is making preparations to build an addition, and thinks the. prospects for business are encouraging.

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.

The Market Things were livelier last week, there being several important weddings and debutante teas that made quite a de- mand for flowers. Chrysanthemums still hold the boards, and vases of choice Batons, Bonnaflfon, Chadwick and Jones give a gala appearance to the stores. Prices are about as last week, ranging from 7.5 cents to $4 per dozen. Roses are plentiful and of good quality. Carna- tions are moving well, easily holding their own in the race with other flowers. There are some good cyclamens seen in the market, and they sell well. Saturday, November 14, Baltimore was visited by a sudden, heavy snow storm that almost paralyzed the market. The flakes were large, wet and plentiful, and with a brisk wind to give thom momen- tum, they made quick work in covering everything with about six inches of snow. Fortunately, frost did not immediately follow the storm. This storm was the fourth snow storm that we have had in November in thirty-eight years. The others were on November 30, 1896, No- vember 26, 1898, and November 13, 1904. Various Notes. The illustrated lecture which was given by J. Otto Thilow, of Philadelphia, at the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, No- vember 9, was well attended by members and their friends, who were delighted by the beauty of the views of Yellowstone Park. There were some fine vases of new seedling carnations; also a new mum called Golden King, scoring 98 points, which was grown by G. A. Lotze, of Glen Burnie, Md. A fine collection was also sent to the club from College Park, Md. On Friday, November 13, the mem- bers of the club went over to Washington to see the mum show, stopping off at College Park for three hours and then continuing on to Washington, where a royal good time awaited them. The mum show was far superior to any seen there before. The park board has asked for bids for about 40,000 pansy plants, to be delivered in March, for the parks and squares, as they make a much nicer display than bulbs. Q.

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.

C 37 QABLE RAFTER 7C, 46 SET SCREW I About the Frame and One Detail It is not alone the matter of fastening the wood work to the iron frame, but first the iron members, such as the purlins, must be the right size for right strength to carry the roof— after that come the fastenings, such as Purlin End Header, for instance. You see from the cut that this Purlin End Header of ours is bolted (not screwed) to the header, and the purlin is securely held to it by a set screw. It not only supports the purlins, but virtually ties the gables together, giving an additional framing strength to your entire house. We just mention this bearer, used in our Semi- iron House, as an example of the thorough way we take care of every little detail of our construction. See page 16 of the Handy Hand Book.

Can I start digging and manuring my rose house now ? It has had two months ' rest. When shall I start the plants going again, in order to have roses in January? W. ^. This work ought to have been done during August or September. The best thing to do now would be to remove two or three inches of the top soil and replace with a mulch composed of two parts decomposed cow manure ^Hdi one part good sod from old pasture hiBrtf, adding a 4-inch potful of bone meal to each bushel of compost. Give the bench a thorough soaking. Give plenty of ventUation and keep the syringe going. Kibes. MILDEW AND LEAF BLIGHT. Enclosed you will find a branch of a Richmond rose. All our roses seem to be affected in the same way. They were planted in July. "We used cow manure and they grew excellently. They were troubled a little with mildew, but not a great deal. The leaves seem to drop off at the least jar, but the plants are bloom- ing nicely. What is the cause and the remedy? J. Y. L. When the leaves reached me they were much dried up, which made it difficult to identify the trouble. They have at least some mildew and are also affecfted with some other fungous trouble, prob- ably rose leaf blight. This trouble usu- ally arises from defective drainage and a cold, damp atmosphere. From the . fact that the leaves are easily jarred off, I am convinced this is the trouble. Spray with the carbonate of copper compound, using five ounces of the car- bonate to three quarts of ammonia and sixty gallons of water. ' Spray once a week, using a fine nozzle, and see that every part of the leaves gets wet. This is a sovereign remedy for many of the fungi which trouble the rose under glass. ElBES. not now above the surface, but the ground is absolutely saturated, so that the roots are in water. We have done our best to drain the water off, but it keeps raining and so renews the over- supply daily faster than we can get rid of it. As soon "'as the flood is. past, some strenuous action will be needed to save' our roses. What course would you sug- gest for best results in resuscitating the plants, fertilizing, etc.? Any sugges- tions you can favor us with along this line will be greatly appreciated. J. W. W. The best thing to do with your rose beds is to drain off the surface water as soon as possible and then hoe up the sur- face to the depth of three or four inches. By keeping the surface open there will be less danger of souring, and if this can be prevented there is little danger to be feared from the effecfts of the flood. Of course the plants will be somewhat weakened and it would be dangerous to lift or shift them until they recover. I have had my roses practically under water, in the greenhouses, for seven days during zero weather, without hurting them further than the loss of crop on them: B3ES. BEST HARDY ROSES. Will you kindly send us a list of such roses as would be best suited to offer to a first-class suburban trade, to people who take an interest in their own flower garden, for open ground culture in the latitude of MarylsTnd? The require- ments, we suppose, are hardy, thrifty growers, frequent and abundant bloomers, flowers of good form, as wide an assort- ment of colors as practicable, and suffi- cient newness to attract those who al- ready have a number in their rose beds. Also what climbers would attract this same trade? Any information and help you will give us in this matter will be greatly appreciated. J. B. & S. The greeteSTTirolibre in handling ]:oses for this class of work is to keep thej list small and at the same time be abl.e to fill orders from.an^ateurs, as their w^ants .jebver such a long list. The following varieties are .all good growers, I free bloomers, and hardy in your section;: Hybrid perpetuals — Alfred Colpmb, carmine crimson; American Beauty, deep pink; Anna de Diesbach, carmine; Baron de Bonstettin, maroon; Baroness Bpths- child, light pink; Clio, flesh colored; Fisher Holmes, crimson; Frau Karl Druschki, white; Gen. Jacqueminot, crimson; John Hopper, bright rose; Magna Uharta, pink; Margaret Diokson, white with flesh center; Marie Bau- mann, carmine crimson; Marshall P. Wilder, pherry red; Mrs. John Laing, soft pink; Paul Neyron, deep rose; Prince Camille de Eohan, deep crimson; Ulrich Brunner, cherry red ; Victor Ver- dier, bright rose. Hybrid teas and teas — Caroline- Tea- tout, bright rose ; Etoile de France, crim- son; Gruss an Teplitz, scarlet, shad- ing to crimson ; Kaiserin Augusta Vic- toria, white; Killarney, flesh color; La France, silvery rose; Maman Cochet, carmine rose; Maman Cochet, white. Climbers — Crimson Eambler, Pink Rambler, White Rambler, Yellow Ram- bler, Marechal Niel, yellow; Tausend- schon, pink, turning to bright rose. There are also the Wichuraiana class, containing such varieties as Lady Gay, Dorothy rerkins, Farquhar, etc., which are attractive and command ready sales. Procure a catalogue from a good firm which makes a specialty of roses. Such catalogues usually contain many profita- ble suggestions as to suitability, climatic requirements, etc. Rises. A FLOODED ROSE GARDEN. I am somewhat perplexed and take the liberty to write to you for advice, as it is imperative that prompt action be taken to save our stock. We are lo- cated in Florida, on sandy soil, one- fourth mile from the river and one mile from the ocean. We have about 2,000 rose bushes in our garden and have been having a flood during the last ten days. Part of the time the water has been an inch deep on our ground. It is TO INCREASE CASH SALES. In the Review of October 29 I notice that a subscriber complains of small cash sales, and as I, as well as a good many others in the trade, have had the same trouble, I should like to give my experieuce and remedy along this line. A great many retail florists throughout the country, especially in the smaller towns, are men who have started in the business in a small way and have built up their trade gradually and slowly by doing all their own growing, building, etc., and a good many are general man- ager, foreman, grower and salesman, all combined. These florists, as a rule, have greenhouses out some distance from the center of the town and stick pretty closely to work in the houses, without making much effort to develop their ability to sell. They grow plenty of flowers, but their customers come only as occasion demands and their trade is mostly funeral work. They never think of trying to create a demand for flowers for all occasions. Most of these retail florists in small towns, especially in the milder climates, have not much competition and they sit down, or rather work themselves down, at their greenhouses and wither away with their flowers. I will tell them right I ^.•.• ':^~:ff^:^i'>'^j:'"^'7^^^f' '3rm-f.> The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOTBMBEB 26, 1908. now that the only sure way to enliven things is by advertising. Advertise whether you have competi- tion or not. Advertise until you have everyone in your town thinking about flowers. Advertise until you make that young fellow think it is just as neeeg- sary to have the bride's bouquet as it is to have the license. Advertise until you make him think the other fellow will get his best girl unless he sends uer a box of flowers every few days. Ad- vertise until that young lady will think track with the line you are running on, and be right there with the goods and let the people know it. Advertise or bust. If you don't ad- vertise your place, the sheriflf might ad- vertise it for you. C. J. Burdell. THE TRAVELER'S BAG. Every now and then the retail florist is called upon to make some unusual fu- neral design, something which shall typ- ify the "Occupation of the late lamented. Funeral Desic^n by the Iowa Floral Co, Det Moines. her sick friend Will die unless she sends a box of bright, cheerful flowers.

Adver- tise until you make- that young married man thin^ his mother-in-law will come and live with him unless he keeps her yard and veranda nicely filled with bed- ding and pot plants. Be honest in your ads. Come right out and tell these people a few things. Why are so many bananas sold all over this country? We don't have to have them. It's because they hang out in front of every grocery and fruit store in town. You may not be able to hang your flowers out so your customer can see them, but you can hang an ad in front of their eyes every time they pick up their newspaper. Don't say anything about funerals or floral designs in your ads. You and your friends will have to think about these things soon enough, and you can de- pend on it, that if you will advertise and talk your trade up to flowers for all occasions, you will still get your share of funeral work. Some florists have ad- vertised funeral work so much that their customers think about flowers only when their best friend is dead, and if you keep this up they will think of you only when you are dead. Don 't cut your prices. Put a fair and reasonable profit on your stuff and stick to it, and, your customers will soon find out that your flowers are worth all you ask for them and pay the price. Now, about that side line. That's the worst thing you can do. Don't side line. It's like side tracking. First thing you know, the other fellow will go right on by you in a hurry, and you will have to follow. Stay on the main The accompanying illustration serves to show how well the Iowa Floral Co., Des Moines, the retail cut flower branch of the Iowa Seed Co., executed such a recent order. This somewhat unusual design is a replica of an Oxford traveling bag such as is commonly used by commercial trav- elers. The body was made solid on all sides of Enchantress carnations, while the steel rib on top and on both ends was made of Lawsons. The handle consisted of violets wrapped on with green thread. The design was ordered by local travel- ing meii and, when delivered, gave them great satisfaction. The emblem pos- sessed one important reaUstic feature, in that it could be carried by the handle in spite of the weight of the wet moss. It may be noticed that an ordinary name plate was used, on which the names of the donors were written. , FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. The florists in the country towns are in the majority and as such tlfeir work is of interest to all. Eaton Bapids is a Michigan town of only a few thousand people, but there are several progressive florists in the surrounding country, so when William Smith, an old soldier and leading citizen, was to be buried, the Mary La Fever Floral Co., the only florist in Eaton Bapids, naturally wanted to put its best foot forward in, the mat- ter of a decoration for the services. Tho accompanying illustration shows what was done. THE SETTING SUN. The setting sun is one of those stand- fird -arrangements that are called into being chiefly when variety is essential. The "sun" in the photograph was made with Chatenay roses, the field with Brides and lily of the valley. The same flowers are used in the star above. Whiteness of this design is further car- ried out by the Easter lilies in the base. This piece is one of the series of funeral designs by Charles Henry Fox, the Sign of the Eose, Phiadelphia, but Mr. Fox does not approve of this design, using it only when speciallj' called for by a cus- tomer. Phil. ANTIRRHINUM WILT. Please tell me the cause and remedy for the wilt disease of antirrhinums. Large plants were lifted from the field in September and planted in five inches of soil on the bench. They were cut back when planted. They took hold and grew rapidly and appear perfectly healthy, except that now and then a branch will wilt in the middle of a sunny day, but will recover toward evening. This may go on for several days, but the Funeral Decoration by La Fever Floral G)., Eaton Rapids^ Mich. '"ttT-.i?-';'' ■■■"■■'■*' NOTXMBEB 26, 1008.

The Setting Sun. recovery is less complete each day, until the branch remains wilted. Usually one branch after another is attacked until the plant is ruined, and the trouble is not checked by removing the first branch showing the disease. The plants are grown in a light, airy house with car- nations, which are perfectly healthy. Is it necessary to spray foliage of antir- t-hinums to prevent red spider? I have never seen spider on it and do not wet the foliage. E. C. B. The wilting you refer to is quite com- mon with antirrhinums lifted from the open ground and planted in benches. It will also sometimes occur on plants grown in pots, but less frequently than in the case of the lifted stock. The cause is rather hard to determine. I think an excess of moisture at the roots before the plants become well established is the chief cause. If the snapdragons, after planting, receive one thorough soaking they should be allowed to dry out fairly well before any more watering is done and the sur- face soil scratched over to let air in. Light sprayings overhead twice or three times a day will keep the foliage stiflf. In planting it is well to get small balls with antirrhinums. They do not lift so well as carnations. I have never seen them attacked by red spider and have had no occasion to syringe, with the object of combating that pest. Light sprayings on clear days in winter and spring are, however, beneficial. A car- nation temperature, such as yon have, should suit antirrhinums well. C.

The Horticultural Society of New York gave its exhibition in the Museum of Natural History November 17 to 20, and, notwithstanding almost complete lack of recognition by the big daily newspapers of New York, nearly 10,000 visitors en- joyed the show, and were loud in praise of its extent and perfection. This indi- cates what would have been the apprecia- tion had any effort been made by the press to let New Yorkers know of the feast that had been spread for them. W. E. Marshall made a competent manager. The space allotted the society was lim- ited and, as F. E. Piersoh said, if the show had been advertised the crush would have been beyond accommodation.

A more beautiful and convenient place for the holding of a great exhibition cannot be found anywhere in the country. Bobbink & Atkins sent over from Ruth- erford a forest of bay trees for decora- tive effect. F. R. Pierson Co., Julius Roehrs Co., Lager & Hurrell and Peter Duff were the largest exhibitors. C. H. Totty and Harry Turner responded nobly tificated. C. L. Bausher was first for white, Samuel Untermyer first for Win- sor and scarlet, M. B. Metcalf for En- chantress and Fred Potter for crimson in the twenty-fives. Young & Nugent were first for bridal bouquet muff, Bloomingdale Bros, for shower bouquet, debutante's bouquet and cotillion favors. Julius Roehrs Co. was first for t&ble of greenhouse plants, collection of conifers al, Nephrolepis Scholzeli a certificate of merit and Celosia Pride of Castle Gould a cultural certificate of merit. Lager & Hurrell were first for collec- tion of orchids, Julius Roehrs Co. re- ceiving a certificate. Julius Roehrs Co. was first for three hybrid orchids. C. Moore was first for one hybrid orchid, with Lager & Hurrell second. Julius Roehrs Co. was first for Cattleya labiata and for twelve orchid plants in bloom. Samuel Untermyer was first for most of the amateur classes for orchids. Special mention was made of the rare plants from the New York Botanic Gar- den, of the collection of orchids from J. A. Manda, of the chrysanthemum blooms from C. H. Totty and the Rich- mond roses from F. R. Newbold. Bloomiogdale'* Wedding Deconttioo at a New York Show. to the call for chrysanthemums. F. R. Pierson 's exhibit of 500 carnations in 100 lots and five varieties was especially admired. H. A. Dreer sent Nephrolepis Scholzeli. Peter Duff had fourteen im- mense plants in his collection. James Cockcroft showed Carnation Georgia, and J. A. Manda a collection of orchids, in- cluding his Laelio-cattleya Irene, which took the prize for the best novelty not before on exhibition. Burnham and Nugent were the only retailers who made displays, and their artistic offerings were greatly admired. Nugent 's wedding muff of valley and orchids was unique and original. Julius Roehrs sent a fine assort- ment of decorative plants. The Wanoka Greenhouses sent their new carnation, Wanoka. W. H. Waite sent three im- mense chrysanthemum plants. In chrysanthemum plants the premium for three specimen bush plants went to Samuel Untermyer, all the other pre- miums in this 'section going to Peter Duff. For chrysanthemum cut blooms, How- ard Gould and Samuel Thorne divided honors about equally. C. H. Totty re- ceived the society's diploma for new varieties. F. R. Pierson Co. was first on pompons and Samuel Untermyer for singles and anemones. Howard Gould was first for the exhibit of blooms on short stems. W. Rockefeller was first for Beauty, F. W. Howes for Killarney, and J. J. Riker for Richmond and Chatenay. In the carnation classes F. R. Pierson €o. was first for white, Winsor, Enchant- ress, Crimson and Lawson color in the 100 lots. They also were first for best new variety, with Governor Hughes. Georgia and Apple Blossom were cer- and for plants in pots suitable for table decoration. E. H. Weatherby was first for table of ferns, Bloomingdale Bros, first for fernery and for both in- door and outdoor window-boxes. Mrs. Henry Siegel was first for Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. White Killarney received a silver med- QUAUTY OF SOIL. We are sending you under separate cover two samples of soil. Please tell us what is wrong. You will see by the Primula obconica how it acts. It works the same on foliage, ferns and gera- niums, only they do not make any root action. It may not be the soil, but we have tried almost everything. J. S. The soil in which the Primula obconica was growing was much too heavy to grow this or any other of the soft- wooded plants well. If you would add not less than one-third leaf-mold, well decayed, and some old cow manure passed through a half-inch screen, it would lighten and enrich the compost so that plants of this description would do well in it. Also use some sharp sand to keep the soil porous. For ferns, leaf- mold is preferable to cow manure, but for vigorous growing sorts some of the latter may be added. It is safer, how- ever, to apply it in a liquid form. The second and smaller sample of loam for- warded appears to be heavy and will become pasty unless such ingredients as sand and leaf-mold are added. For primulas, cyclamens, geraniums, cinerarias, calceolarias, begonias, gloxi- nias and gesneras you would do well to u i ^ ^ pi'* ^2T./c ::f V ^ i •••:• ^ m Another View of Bloomingdale's Wedding Decoration Exhibit. NOVEMBEB 26, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. add one-third leaf -mold. Vigorous grow- ing subjects like marguerites, hydran- geas, fuchsias, chrysanthemums, etc., will prefer decayed manure. Your soil con- tains no fiber at all. The best soil for all these plants is pasture sod cut and stacked for a year. If not yet too late, plow up and make yourself a pile of this compost. You can layer it with cow or sheep manure. When chopped down this will jgrow nearly any plants you have satisfactorily. C. W. LATHYRUS LATIFOLIUS. Will you please explain the best treat- ment of Lathyrus latifolius, or everlast- ing pea? I have several hundred in 4- inch pots, four or five in a pot, sown last August, and would like a better idea of the temperature required, the time to expect bloom, etc. V. L. I have had no experience with the everlasting pea, Lathyrus latifolius, under glass, and do not know of anyone who has so cultivated it. I doubt if it will pay you to grow it in the green- house. The flowers lack odor, and even if the plants bloomed freely, which they would not in all probability, they would be of little commercial value. The everlasting pea is useful on trel- lises and for rambling over walls and fences. It succeeds best if left for years undisturbed. The pure white form is a useful florists' flower. I would advise you to carry 'your plants over winter in a coldf rame and plant them outside in early spring, feeling sure that indoor culture would only cause you disappointment. It will pay you much better to sow some of the winter-flowering sweet peas now. ■ . . C. W. SPIRAEA QUEEN ALEXANDRA. When first exhibited at the Temple show in London a few years ago, this beautiful spiraea or astilbe caused a greater furor than any other novelty. It is the first really good pink forcing spirtea and has jumped into instant popularity both in Europe and America. The plant is much more vigorous in habit than S. Japonica, more closely resem- bling S. astilboides. The dense, compact Spiraea Queen Alexandra. spikes are of a beautiful peach-pink color and are produced in surprising abundance from the smallest clumps. Not only is it valuable for early forcing, but it is excellent as late as June. For both Easter and Memorial day trade it is one of the finest novelties introduced for years. The illustration shows a plant in a 6-inch pot. W. N. C. :\r is^Bif :^;r3SKri^jj^n^ ^ f I SEASONABLE '^•^.'*^.<*^.<*^.<#^.'*^.<*^.<*B.<*^ ■fer»)'yc»>"-yr*>"'yr»b"'yr»)">yr»5' SUGGESTIONS i Cyclamen. Possibly a few of the earliest cycla- men plants may have had sufficient flow- ers open to make them salable for Thanksgiving, but it is at Christmas that the principal quantity should be moved. Be sure not to crowd the plants. To do them justice each plant should stand clear of its neighbor. This will make perfect foliage possible, and a cyclamen well leaved will sell if only a small num- ber of blooms are open. Avoid all over- head syringing. Pick off any damping or decaying foliage, and, if the pots are well filled with roots, afford the plants manure water twice a week, taking care not to make it too strong. A night tem- perature exceeding 50 degrees will be liable to draw the foliage up. It never pays to try any forcing tactics on cycla- mens. Give plenty of fresh air unless severe outside. How are the little seedlings coming along for another year's crop? All should now be pricked off in flats and growing on a light shelf. Keep the surface soil constantly stirred and avoid overwater- ing. We have found it a good plan to sow seeds two inches apart each way in flats and let the seedlings remain until large enough for potting. These seed- lings a»e much larger than transplanted ones. The main trouble with this plan is that if seed is not good there will be many blanks, giving the flats a spotty appearance, and considerable care must be exercised in watering. Gladioli. The bulbs of the Gandavensis section of gladioli are now to hand and forcing, varieties, such as May, Augusta and Shakespeare, may be planted at once. A bench from which mums have been cut will make an ideal spot for gladioli. Fork over the compost, adding some well decomposed manure, and there will be no need to renew the soil. If there chances to be no vacant bench for gladioli, do not try dropping them among your carnations, snapdragons and other crops. One will only spoil the other. A better plan in this case would be to plant in boxes containing six inches of soil. The boxes can be moved around, but the benched bulbs of course are fix- tures. That fine variety, America, is the most popular variety grown today. G. Colvillei The Bride and the sports from same, with the various forms of G. nanus, ar« much better grown in flats than in benches, and there should be no delay im planting the main batch of them. They only fritter away their strength in paper bags. Lily of the Valley. The new season's valley pips are now coming to hand. It will not pay to force these before January, as they will start erratically. To grow valley a brisk bot- tom heat in winter is essential, that pro- f ■yvm^mi^,^KiJ:^. i^'wiyif''- 10 -The Weekly Florists* Review. NOTBMBEB 26, 1008. vided by hot water pipes being prefer- able to steam for this purpose. A brisk bottom heat and a top heat of 60 to 65 degrees is what valley wants for a start, lowering the temperature as the flowers are opening. Given a good bottom heat, lily of the valley should be ready in a little over three weeks from the time it was started. Valley is not fastidious as to soil, for it will grow" as well in clean sand as in loam. The pips should be kept dark until well drawn up, by laying heavy paper over the glass on the case. Hardy Lilies. There should be no delay in planting hardy lilies, as bulbs are now to hand and it is all-important that these should be gotten below the soil as soon as pos- sible, for the bulbs will suffer if left lying around the sheds. The general tend- ency still is to plant hardy lilies too shal- low; unless the bulbs are small they should be covered not less than eight inches deep and if your soil is of good depth, ten to twelve Inches will be better. In stiff ground, inclined to be clayey and ■ moist, a layer of sharp sand should be placed below and over the bulbs after planting, and when the ground becomes well frozen, mulch with marsh hay or leaves. The forms of L. speciosum are the most valuable commercially. L. auratum usually does well the first year and then deteriorates. L. Hansoni is a good, re- liable sort. L. tigrinum, L. superbum, L. Canadense and Henryi are all good as a rule; however, the demand is more for white than colored varieties. Any speciosums and auratums intended for culture in pots can be comfortably taken care of now that the mums are out of the way. Hardy Roses. The ground will probably soon freeze up tight. It hardly seems possible, while we are enjoying such extremely open weather, that winter may be almost with us. The best protection for hybrid per- petuals is to draw earth up to the stems. If the bushes are pruned back hard each year, there should be no trouble in af- fording the needed protection. As a rule the wood covered by the earth will appear green in spring, even if all else is killed. The plan often still adopted, of banking roses with leaves or manure, before winter sets in, will answer well in some spots, but there is no better pro- tection than mother earth herself. Hybrid teas and teas, except in a few favored spots near the ocean, are not classed as reliably hardy, even if pro- tected well, and it is always safer to dig up and store any plants of those sec- tions, heeling them in a coldframe or pot where they can have a little frost. If no frame is at liberty, lift and bury the hybrid teas outdoors, laying a coating of straw or leaves over the surface. Bulbous Plants. Some of the earliest La Reine, Due van Thol or Tournesol tulips will now have grown sufficiently to be removed to the greenhouse. Keep them darkened for a few days in order to draw up the stems, the general trouble with early tulips al- ways being lack of stem. Trumpet Ma- jors wanted for Christmas should also be housed if they have not already been taken in. Golden Spurs cannot be forced successfully for Christmas. Paper Whites and Romans both come on quickly when placed in heat, about three weeks being sufficient time to flower them in a tem- perature of 60 degrees. It is better, es- pecially ia the case of Paper Whites, to bring them along cooler, the flowers then having so much more aubstancie. Be sure that all Dutch bulbs in pots, pans or flats are not suffering from dry- ness. More forcing bulbs are ruined by dryness in the early stages of growth than by an excess of moisture. Sweet Peas.; The early batch of sweet peas is now over three feet in height and giving us flowers with fine stems. These are con- stantly lengthening and by Christmas will be satisfactory. We find it necessary to look over the plants twice a week and loosely tie up the stems. The night tem- perature is kept at 45 to 50 degrees and it is better not to allow it to go any higher. Do not be tempted to try a little forcing to bring in a heavy Christ- mas crop. It will tell on your plants for the balance of the season. The latest mums will now be mostly out of the way and any spare beds can be planted with sweet peas. Avoid too thick planting and be sure that you allow them abundant head room. Do not omit a fumigation once a week to keep insects in check. AZALEAS FOR CHRISTMAS. Kindly inform me how many weeks before Christmas, and at what tempera- ture, I should start to force azaleas for Christmas trade. K, V. O. Azalea Indica wanted in flower for Christmas should be placed in heat ^t once. . Do not start too warm at first; 50 degrees to 55 degrees at night is sufficient, or leaf growth is too jDpuch en- couraged. After a fortnight you can raise the temperature 5 degrees to 10 degrees. As the plants come into bloom, remove them to a somewhat cooler house. Ply the syringe freely among them, es- pecially on warm, bright days. The little Firefly, or Hexe, forces perhaps the most easily of any of the azaleas. Of \he whites, Deutsche Perle is the earliest. Apollo is the best forcing red. Other suitable early varieties are Vervseneana, Simon Mardner and Mrs. Petrick. Charles Enke is a pretty little dwarf pink in the way of Hexe. CARNATION NOTES.- WEST. Plow the Field This Fall. If you have provided your bench soil for next season, as I suggested some weeks ago, there is still another thing you will do well to look after before winter sets in. You are not likely to use any more of the carnation plants which are left out in the field. If you intend plant- ing your young stock on the same ground next year you can pull up all that are left and have the ground plowed over this fall. Have it plowed as deep as possible and let it lie in a rough state. This is to let the frost and the air into it during the winter. You will be sur- prised and pleased to see how it will help to mellow a soil which is inclined to be heavy and lumpy. This is a practice which could be followed with profit much more generally than it is. During the winter you can spread on the field a coat of manure in quantity as your judgment may dictate. My advice would be to put it on shortly before you wish to plow in the spring, as the ground will dry out earlier if not covered with manure. A good plan is to make small piles at regular distances over the field. Then in the spring it needs only to be spread before plowing. Give this matter your attention before bad weather sets in. A. F. J, Baub. cause carnations to split their calyx and, without more data to work on, it would be impossible for me to say what is the cause in your case. The most frequent cause, however, is irregularity in tem- perature. Extreme and sudden variations in temperature will cause almost any variety to split, and at this time of the year, when firing is done intermittently, this matter of even temperature is not so easy to control. Splitting may also be brought on by overfeeding, but that usu- ally happens later — in midwinter.^ If the soil is dry at the bottom, that also may cause splitting of calyxes. So be care- ful with the temperature, with the water- ing and the feeding, and give all the ventilation you can at all times. A. F. J. B. FAIRY RING. SPLIT CARNATIONS. Can you tell me why most of my car- nations split! Is it the heat, ventila- tion, or not enough water! Early in the fall t^ey were lovely, but now those that open out are all split. In the daytime the temperature is about 60 to 70 de- grees, and at night or early in the morn- ing it is below 50 degrees. C. M. H. There are many things which may Please tell me what is the disease, cause and remedy of the enclosed samples of carnations. The plants look fairly healthy, but as soon as the buds appear the disease manifests itself and ruins the flowers. The plants were bought from a * reputable grower early in the spring, but never appeared strong while in the field. Can you suggest a remedy, as a great many plants are affected with the dis- ease! P. C. M. The specimens forwarded showed that your plants are affected with fairy ring and you will have to adopt vigorous meth- ods to rid them of this disease. Of all the spot diseases this seems to be the most tenacious and the most difficult to get rid of when once it gets a good start. From now on the weather is likely to be against you, too. To begin with, you will do well to cut off every leaf or stem that shows a spot, and burn it. Go over the plants daily, picking off newly developed spots, even though you may almost strip some of the plants. After having cleaned the Mid- '•■^<^ ^'^TTT - ; '■Tv\ NOTKUBEB 28, 1908.

Dusting the plants with grape dust on such occa- sions is a good idea too. Maintain a fresh, buoyant atmosphere. A. F. J. B. FERTILIZERS. I mixed a lot of manure with the soil ■when I spaded it before planting my car- nations. Would sheep manure be a good fertilizer at this time and how much would lit h# safla to use I If not, what fertilizer would you use? E. R. Sheep manure is a splendid plant food to be used as a top-dressing during the winter months. If your plants are well established and have made a strong growth, they will likely be benefited by an occasional light dressing of some of the materials adapted to that purpose. Sheep manure, dried blood, blood and bone, bone flour, wood ashes, all are good and when used in moderation will prove beneficial to your crop. You will also find that light but frequent applications will give far better results than heavy doses, administered at long intervals. A good plan is to mix the material with the soil finely sifted. Take two parts soil and one part of the plant food and mix them thoroughly. Strew a handful of this mixture between each row of plants and watet it in well. If there is a mulch of loose material on the bench you cafa stir it into that. This stirripg will adid extra value to the process. Re- peat about once in ten days to two weeks and give your plants as much variety in diet as possible, according to the texture of your soil. If your soil is light and contains much manure, then give more bone and wood ashes, but if it is heavy give manure and dried blood, with an occasional dose of ashes and bone. However, if you give light applications no serious harm -is likely to result. A. F. J. B. HOUSE OF DOROTHY GORDON.

Kindly inform nie how many Aveekg before Christmas, and at what tempera- ture, I should start to force azaleas for Christmas trade. K. V. O. Azalea Indica wanted in flower for Christmas shouM be placed in heat ftt once. Do not start too warm at first; 50 degrees to 55 degrees at night is sufTicient, or leaf growth is too much en- couraged. After a fortniglit you can raise the temperature 5 degrees to 10 degrees. As the plants come into bloom, renrove them to a somewhat cooler house. Ply the syringe freely among them, es- pecially on warm, l)right days. The little Firefly, or Ilexe, forces perhaps the most easily of any of the azaleas. Of the whites, Deutsche Perle is the earliest. Apollo is the best forcing red.

Plow the Field This Fall. .- If you have provided your Ixaudi soil foi' next season, as 1 suggested some Aveeks ago. there is still another thing you will do W(dl to look after before winter s(ds in. You are not likely to use any more of the carnation plants whi(di are left out in tlu; ficdd. If you intend ]ilant- ing your young stock on the same ground next ye.ar you can i)ull u|i ail that arc left and have the ground plovve(l over this f.all. Jl.ave it plowed as diM'p .as jiossible ami let it lie in a rough state. 'i'his is to let (he frost and fhe .air into it during the winter. You will be sur- jirised and pleased to. see how it will help to mellow a soil which is iiiclineil to be heavy and lumjiy. This is a jiractice which could be followed with ]iro(it much more gener.ally than it is. During the win(er you can spread on (he field a (-oat of manure in ijuantity as your judgment may dictate. My advice would be to ]nit it on shortly liefore you wish to plow in the spring, as the ground will ilry out earlier if not covered with m.amire. A good plan is to make small pih^s at regul.ar distances over the fiehl. Then in (he sjiring it needs only to be sjiread bcd'ore plowing. (live this matter your attendon before bad wi'.ather sets in. A. !■'..). Hair. cause carnations to split their calyx and, without more data to work on, it would be intjiossible for me to say what is the cause in your case. The most frequent cause, however, is irregularity in tem- perature. Extreme and sudden variations in tomjierature will cause almost any variety to split, ahd at this time of the year, when firing is done intermittently, this matter of even temperature is not so easy to control. Splitting may also be brought on by overfeeding, but that usu- ally happens later — in midwinter. If the soil is dry at the bottom, that also may cause splitting of calyxes. So be care- ful with the temi)erature, with the water- ing and the feeding, and give all the ventilation von can at all times. A. F. J. B. SPLIT CARNATIONS. Can .Miu tell me why most of my car- nations" split.' Is it the heat, ventila- tion, or not enough water? Karly in the f.all they were lovely, but now those; that ojieii nut are all split.

Please tell me what is the disease, cause and remedy of the encdosed -rtamples (tf carnations. The plants look fairly health.v, but as soon as the buds appear (he disease manifests itself and ruins the (lowers. The plants were bought from a reputable grower early in the spring, but never appeared strong while in the field. Can you suggest a remedy, as a great many plants are all'ected with the dis- ease . P. C. M. The specimens forwarded shmved that your plants are afllVcteil with fairy ring .and you w ill have to adopt vigorous meth- mls to rid them of this disease. Of all the spot diseases this seems to be the most tenacious and the most difTicult to get rid of when once it gets a good start. I'rom now on the weather is likely to be against you, too. To begin with, you will do wadl to cut olV every leaf or stem that shows a spot, .and burn it. each wook until the disease is chockt'd. Stop syringing altogether if possible, ex- cept to wash the plants off about oneo in two wet'ks, tdioosing a bright, wann day when the ventilators can be opened wide. Apply the Bordeaux immediately after. Give all the ventilation possible at all times and keep the temperature as steady as possible, both iiiglit aiul day. Paint one of the steam pijies with a thick dope made of lime and sulphur and water. Tins will keep the atmosphere charged with sulphur fumes, which is especially de- siraljle in case of rainy spells. Dusting the plants with grape dust on such occa- sions is a gooil idea too. Maintain a fresh, buoyant atmosphere. A. J'\ J. B. FERTILIZERS. r mixed a lot of manure with tlu' soil when I spaded it before planting my car- nations. Would sheej) manure be a good fertilizer at this time and liow much would it be safe to use.' If not, wiiat fertilizer would you use.' I'', b'. Sheep manure is a sjdendid plant food to l)e used as a top-dressing during the winter months. If your plants are well established and have maije a strong growth, they will likely be Itenefited by an occasional light dressing of sfune of the materials ailapted to that ]iurpose. Sliee[) mamire, di'ied blood, blood and bone, bone Hour, wood ashes, ail an^ good and when used in moih'ration will ]iro\-e beneficial to your crop. Vou will also find that light but fre(|ueiit api)lications will give far better results than heavy doses, administered at li>ng inter\als. A good ])lan is to mix the material with the soil finely sifted. Take two parts soil and one part of the plant food and mix them thoroughly. Strew a handful of this mixture between each I'ow of plants and water it in well. If there is a muhdi of loos(> material on the bench you can stir it into that. This stirring will add extra value to th(^ ]irocess. K*r- peat about onc(> in ten days to. two weeks and gi\(' \{>\\v i)lants as much \aiiet\ in diet as possible, according to the texture of your soil. If your soil is light and contains much manure, then give more bone and wood ashes, but if it is heavy give maiuire ami di'ied blood, with jin occasional dose of ashes and bone. However, if you giv(> light applications no serious harm is likely to result. A. F.J. B. HOUSE OF DOROTHY GORDON.

' The flowers of all midseason sorts will no\j be cut, and Thanksgiving will this year see the end of practically all the late ones. There is a certain satisfac- tion in seeing the last of the mums cut early in the season. They are full of interest, but when the benches are heavily cut over and occasional little lots are left iere and there, they become something of a nuisance, space being needed which cannot be had without sacrificing some good flowers. One lesson to be learned from this is to be sure to plant earlies, midseason varieties and lates in batches by themselves. Then as fast as one or the other is cut, you can utilize the cleared benches for other crops. ' ft cannot be said that the present sea- son has proved a profitable one for mum growers, for prices have ruled low. The de^nd for big specimen flowers is less thai! it was, those of moderate size being most sought after, with a hankering after the small-flowered pompons, anemo- nes and singles, which it would be well for growers to cater for next season. Be sure that you do not keep over any varieties which do not take well. Sentiment does not pay in the florists' business, and it is necessary to drop with a sigh of regret old friends each year. Plant your stock in a bench in a cool house; anything just clear of freezing will answer well. Treated thus, you can depend on an abundant supply of strong cuttings when needed. MILDEW ON MUMS. I send you under separate cover a spec- imen of mums which I am sure are dis- eased, but I do not know. what to do for them, or what is the trouble. They all seejn to wither up and die, starting from below, as you will notice by the gree;i- topped one. Will you kindly tell me whether there is anything I can do for them! H. M. P. These leaves are covered with mildew, one of the forms of microscopic fungi! This disease is white, and forms a filmy coating over the leaves and tender shoots. It is caused by some sudden check, either to foliage or root action. The accepted remedy is sulphur in some form. It can be applied as dust to the foliage, or by painting the pipes with the following mixture, worked to the consistency of paint: Air-slaked lime, finely sifted, one part; sulphur, two parts. EiBES.

THE TREND OF THE TIMES. [A paper by S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, read before the Detroit Florists' Club, Novem- ber 18, 1908.] The supremacy of the man who has mastered his craft or profession, over the fellow creature who gropes in the dark and is tossed about on the waves of uncertainty, is apparent even to the cas- ual observer. Dame Fortune is never so fickle but she smiles upon the creature who is best qual- ified to respond to her alluring tune. The age of miracles has long since passed, never to return. No longer do we con- cern ourselves with the lucky stars, which, according to our grandmothers, wielded such a powerful influence over our destinies, nor do we believe in blind luck as such. A law as inexorable as the law of gravitation underlies every step we take, and governs every move we make, whether it be onward or backward. To quote a trite saw, "As thou etowest, so shalt thou reap." The truth of it is self-apparent, and needs no elucidation on my part. When I accepted your kind invitation to address you upon a subject of my own choosing, it occurred to me that some- thing might be said on the general con- ditions of these strenuous times, as af- fecting our own interests, and on the general requirements calculated to equip us in our struggles upon the great battle- field of modern commerce. The Sorvival of the Fittest. There is no gainsaying the fact that the theory of the survival of the fittest is" based upon human experience, dating as far back as Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, When the Bible tells us that the first progenitors of the human race were peremptorily expelled from their beautiful abode, we may well pause, ponder and draw our own conclusions. Disobedience to and disregard of law has taught them, and through .them the entire human race, the lesson of the sur- vival of the fittest. But why go to such remote sources for our lessons? History, both ancient and modern, is full of ex- amples, showing that no race or clan has ever survived in a clash of arms with an opponent better equipped to fight the battle for supremacy. Mighty Spain lost her glory and her prestige because of her misdeeds, and because of her unfitness to survive. The throne of the Eussian auto- crat is tottering. Whyt Simply because it never was and neVer will be fit to sur- vive. What holds true of races and nations holds equally true of individuals. No man can lay any claim to success in his vocation unless he is fit to survive, and no man can possibly survive, or come out on top, unless he is well qualified to meet the exigencies as they arise, and to make the best of the situation under all cir- cumstances. Yes, one must be sure of his qualifications or fitness, before attempt- ing to enter the ranks of those who are ever on the onward march. Knowing One's Business. In speaking of Napoleon, Emerson tells us that "here was a man who knew Chrysanthetnum Golden i^ADg, vysiyvfvh NovEMBEB 26, 1908. r^ The Weekly Florists' Review* m *^i9V'!i'JipiJHJi vl y.lf II 13 his business, who in ^ach moment and emergency knew what to do next. Few men," continues the philosopher, "have any next. They live from hand to mouth, without plan, and are ever at the end of their line, and, after each action, wait for an impulse from abroad. ' ' Therein, in- deed— in knowing one's business, and in knowing "what to do next" — lies the whole secret of success or failure. One need not necessarily be possessed of a penetrating mind to observe that the (Continued on pagt 26.) BOSTON. The Market. The last few days have seen a decided improvement in cut flower conditions and a decidedly 'optimistic sentiment is now abroad. Everyone is looking forward to a good Thanksgiving trade, although no fancy prices are looked for. Eoses have picked up a little and best Beauties are making $4 per dozen. Some fine Rich- mond and Killarney are arriving and meet with a good sale. Bride and Maid are of excellent quality and some nice Chatenay are seen. A limited supply of thesje old-time favorites, Safrano and Bon Silene, are selling well. Carnations are abundant, but are meeting with a better sale. Good average stock makes $2, while fancies will probably net $4 later in the week. Violets are moving better. The pleasant weather has caused people to buy these more heavily for corsage bouquets. Some nice' bouvardia is coming in and mignonette is much improved. Chrysan- themums, such as Bonnaflfon, Chadwick, Jfeanne Nonin, Gold Mine and Maud Dean, are good the present week and will about end up the supply of these. A good many small flowers are seen, which do not sell readily. Single flowering rarieties have not sold well in the mar- kets. Buyers are loth to take hold of anything new, but it is pleasing . to note that all the better class stores are mak- ing features of them. There is a fair supply of lilies and callas, prices averag- ing about $2 per dozen on these. Sweet peas are improving, but not abundant as yet. Stevia, snapdragon, candytuft and French bulbous stock are seen in moder- ate quantities. Some fine Cypripedium insigne is also arriving. Variouf Notes. The Harvard- Yale football game No- Tember 21 caused a bull market on crim- son mums and carnations and on violets, there being a big demand for these. The next . meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists ' Club should attract the largest attendance of the year; With three strong candidates in the field for president, to say nothing of tKe other offices, thete should be excitement suf- ficient for everyone. November weather to date has been charming. We have yet to record a snow- fall and there has been no severe frost. Eainfall is much below the average, many streams, ponds and wells being perfectly dry still. William E. Doyle is showing some fine gardenias, flowers which Mr. Deyle always has a big demand for.

Mr. Mae- Mulkin is quick to take hold of every- thing new in flowers, as a glance around his store at any time will tell. He oper- ates large greenhouses at Norfolk Dams, orchids coming in for considerable at- tention. Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, is bringing in some splendid ' carnations to Park Street market. Mr. ChristenSen is one of the largest carnation growers for the Boston market. His product is handled by E. J. Eogean. F. J. Dolansky is showing a nice lot of Pandanus Veitchii among other plants at his market stall. F. W. Fletcher states that Violet Baronne Eothschild will outbloom Prin- cess of Wales two to one. It has a stronger odor than the latter variety also. W. N. Craig. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The trade in general was somewhat better last week. The improvement was noticed in work for social functions. This, with othei* kinds of work, kept nearly all the store men busy during the week. This Thanksgiving week should increase the business greatly, as quite a lot of orders have been booked ahead. All of us are looking forward to a good week, so as to average up a good business month for November. T!ie cut in chrysanthemum blooms is decreasing and not nearly so many have been coming in, though some fine Eatons, Appieton, Ivory and Bonnaffon were to be had. American Beauties were in bet- ter demand last week, the supply being good in all grades. Other roses, such as Brides, Maids, Eichmond, Ivory and Killarney, sold at low prices in all grades, as the supply greatly exceeded the demand. The quality of all the stock . is first-class. There are also plenty of good carna- tions in the market, with prices not so high. Enchantress, White Perfection, Aristocrat and Lawson are good sellers. Violets are coming in more plentifully, .. with fancy Calif ornias at ^75 cents per . hundred. Stevia and lily of the valley 1 make up the rest. of the market. \i„ Prospects seem good for a Wg Thanks- , ^^ giving business' and the wholesalers say , they will have plenty of stock, with V prices not so high. Various Notes. The first meeting of the St. Louis Hor- ticultural Society's executive board since the close of the show was held Tuesday, November 17, in the rooms of the Mis- souri Athletic Club, with a good attend- ance. A general review of the late show was gone over and all prizes were ordered paid in full. It was reported that the show was a great success, both socially and financially, when compared with last year's show. At the next meeting of the committee, early next month, a de- cision will be made as to the holding of a spring show. Chairman Sanders pre- sided over the. meeting. Hans Jensen, late forenmn for A. Jablonsky, at Central, Mo., is now fore- man for the Sanders Nurseries, at the Henley road place. Walter Eetzer, of the St. Louis Seed Co., spent a week with friends at Chi- cago and has returned home. His firm has been busy with fall bulb trade. W. C. Smith reports that his company has been busy of late in the supply and wire department. They will have plenty of stock for Thanksgiving. Alex. Siegel had a hard time last week. He took his thirty-second degree in Ma- sonry. His work began at 9 a. m.

They have been busy of late with social work of all kinds. The free chrysanthemum show at the Missouri Botanical Garden ran through the second week with an increased at- tendance, the weather being -just tg their liking for a tent show, warm and spring- like. John "Wunderle, formerly with Michel, Eggeling and Dunford, left the latter place last week and is now in business for himself in the landscape gardening work. J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., and A. S. Halstead, of Belleville, 111., were visitors last week. Both say they were much impressed with the big na- tional flower show during their week's stay. George Angermueller, chairman of the Florists' Club dommittee for the coming smoker, will call a meeting of the com- mittee this week to perfect arrangements, date and place for holding the sftoker. This big. event, should bring out a large attendance. J. J. B. NEW YOHK. The Market The sensation of the last week was the modest violet, modest no longer. Ee- markable was its bid for popularity and its assertion of its right to recognition. The football game at New Haven caused the carrying of many thousands of the flowers to that city by Rhinebeck grow- ers themselves, a decidedly new depar- ture; the visits of wholesalers to the upstate growers with definite cash offers for their entire shipments; the combina- tion of violet growers at Ehinebeck al- ready consummated, and the scarcity of the flowers because of the abnormally warm season, all combined to create a condition unique, such as the violet mar- ket has never before been called upon to meet and consider. Many of the lead- ing wholesalers, whose supply has been a surety for years, found themselves completely ignored and neglected. But Saturday night saw the beginning of the end. Prices f«ll to $1 after dark, with $1.5(r for the specials in bunches of 100, and above these figures they are not likely to go even for Thanksgiving. Up at New Haven those who had the stcck reaped a harvest. There was not a violet on the street Saturday. This week's developments are awaited with keen and universal interest. The chrysanthemum supply is still ample, and will last oyer Thanksgiving. Prices are better, as well as quality. The men with the late mums will not have to worry about their winter coal. There are plenty of roses and carnations. Prices are slightly better. They will not be excessive for Thanksgiving; 12 cents probably for fancy Maids and Brides, 15 cents for Killarney and the other popular novelties, and a little more for Jardine, Ehea Eeid and My Mary- land. Carnations may touch 4 cents, with a little more for the novelties, and the balance of the offerings, lilies, valley, hyacinths, narcissi, sweet peas, etc., will enjoy the natural advance of the holiday. There is a lot to be thankful for this year, compared with conditions a year ago, and perhaps the prosperous will manifest a little of their exuberance in floral appreciation. Beauties hold firm at 35 cents, and 50 cents for Thursday will probably be the apex.. A healthful and optimistic condition prevails, |ind we look for the merriest Christmas New York has known in many years. * •' r Variooi Noto., ^ December 1 Harry Bunyard will cele- brate the twentieth anniversary of his coming to America.

December 14 the next meeting of the New York Florists' Club will be held. Officers will be elected. This will be a special night and should draw the great- est crowd of the year. Prepare for it and its surprises. The club's smoker drew a large con- gregation, considerably more than 100, but not as many gardeners as the flower show should . have attracted to the city. Chairman Eickarde and his lieutenants provided an entertainment varied in its character, and which included Hibernian, colored stories and colored minstrelsy, legerdemain by Andrew Wilson, Scotch bagpipe music and the pocket edition of Harry Lander, rounded out with tenor solos that stirred the house, by George Clarke, one of the Clarke brothers, of Portland, Ore. It was a hilarious night and will likely be repeated early in the coming year. The club is growing rap- idly and the young blood is coming to the front. The prospective New York Retailers' Association, which we announced two weeks ago, has materialized and gives good promise of stability and value. Sev- eral times in the past the idea has died aborning, but this time it is apparently here to stay. Charles A; Dards is presi- dent, Marshall Clarke, vice-president, and A. Warendorff, secretary. The object* of the association look to mutual pro- tection against the deadbeat, to stop the unlicensed selling of flowers in the streets, to create a collection agency, and to confine the retailing of flowers to those entitled to that privilege. On such a basis the association has only to create and maintain harmony in its member- ship to guarantee a permanent success. E. C.

J., sub- mitted his new white unnamed chrysan- themum to the committee November 21, and will shortly place it on exhibition at Boston and Philadelphia. It drew much admiring comment in the window of Walter Sheridan, later. It is a pure white, incurved, of good size and a fine shipper. Five years more is the decision of the New York Cut Flower Co. and the Cut Flower Exchange as to their quar- ters in the Coogan building.

It seems a difficult thing to create enthusiasm or maintain a quorum in the big city. Most of the old reliables of other years have retired from, athletics. The younger ele- ment is unstable, intermittent, forget- ful. The timber is good and abundant, but hard to cut down. Monday is the best night for the majority, the alleys are the best in the city, but the •attend- ance is discouraging to those who have faithfully endeavored to build up a club that would b6 a credit tQ New York. At Astoria the membership is limited to twelve and the club is already full. The ladies' night»and banquet last week were a great success. Mrs. Miesara and Mrs. Donaldson carried off the honors. The club will surely be heard from at NOTEMBKB 26, 1008. The Weekly Florists' Review^ v js Cincinnati. It bowls every Tuesday even- ing. The alleys are directly opposite the greenhouse plant of Wm. Siebrecht. J. Austin Shaw. ST. PAUL. The Market. Trade during the month has been sat- isfactory. All stock has been plentiful, with the exception of violets, which are scarcer than for any like period in years. None of the growers ,seem to have any large crops of roses, although short stems and seconds have been a drug on the market. This is due to a slack demand for funeral flowers for the last ten days. From advance orders coming in for Thanksgiving there is every indication that nearly all good stock will be sold out for that occasion. There are not many late mums grown here, most grow- ers seeming to take their chances on the main crop. Qub Meetine. The Minnesota State Florists' Asso- ciation held its regular monthly meeting November 17. There was a gratifying increase* in attendance and there were a larger number of exhibits tiian at any previous meeting. Mr, Swanson, of the committee on awards, reported on the scale of points for judging exhibits as agreed upon by the committee," and the report was unanimously adopted. The awards for the evening were as follows: To Alois Frey, Crown Point, Ind., for twenty-four varieties of seedling anemone-flowered chrysanthemums scor- ing 75 points, certiflcate of merit. To A. J. Smith, of the Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses, Minneapolis, for Major Bonnaffon, Eaton and Yellow Eaton chrysanthemums, and some well- grown plants of cyclamen and celestial peppers scoring 70 points, honorable mention. To Louis Boeglin, gardener at the park greenhouses, Minneapolis, for forty varieties of chrysanthemums, including some new and rare anemone-flowered sorts and pompons, scoring 85 points, a diploma. To the Clinton Falls Nursery Co., Owatonna, for Carnation Pink Imperial, a diploma; for roses Bhea Reid, Eich- mond, Chatenay and Killarney, honorable mention; for Princess of "Wales violets, honorable mention. A. J. Smith read an interesting paper on chrysanthemums, tracing their origin and introduction into England in 1754 down to the present and giving his meth- ods of culture. In the absence of Mr. Jorgenspn, who was to give his impres- sion of the national flower show, Messrs. Will, Swanson and Wirth spoke on the same subject. Mr. Underwood, of the Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City, and a director of the State Fair Association, expressed the willingness of the association to assist the florists in every way possible in securing larger space for exhibits and larger premiums. T. E. Cashman, presi- dent of the Clinton Falls Nursery Co., Owatonna, and a member of the state senate, spoke of his willingness as a leg- islator to assist the Florists' Associa- tion in securing a floral building at the State Fair and in every way possible contributing to the success of the asso- ciation.

Comandros, who has run a flower stand in one of the department stores here, has sold his interest and gone to Omaha. He is succeeded here by Will Bros., of Minneapolis, whose venture is watched with great interest. This firm, which has the most extensive range of glass in the state, has the glass on hand for another 100,000 square feet, to be erected in the near future. The Clinton Falls Nursery Co., Owatonna, will also build more houses for growing summer roses. All from this section who attended the national flower show were well pleased with the exhibits and loud in their praise of the hospitality and courtesies extended by the Chicago brethren. O. J. Olson and G. A. Clausen have returned from their hunting trip with several fine specimens. Miss Hattie Neuhart, who has been with L. L. May & Co. for ten years, has resigned, and rumor says she is to be married. L. L. May has returned from the east, bringing his invalid brother for treat- ment in a tuberculosis sanitarium in this state. X. Y. Z. VICK'S MIKADO PINK. In the Seed Trade Department of the Eeview of November 19 there was a note on Mikado Pink, the new aster James Vick's Sons, Rochester, will send out this year. The accompanying illus- tration possibly gives a better idea of the flower than mere words can convey. NEV ORLEANS. Rochester, N. H. — E. A. Corson has resumed business in his remodeled store on Hanson street. New Castle, Ind. — It is reported that Heller Bros, are planning to plant prac- tically all their glass to Beauties for next season. At the last meeting of the New Or- leans Horticultural Society the commit- tee on arrangements at the flower show was not ready to give a full report as to the financial results of the exhibit, but, from what could be learned at that time, there will be a deficit, owing to the poor patronage from the public. As a show it was creditable and nothing was needed to make it as good as any pre- vious show, but still the visitors were not numerous enough to make it pay. A spring show will be brought up for con- sideration in the near future, and will no doubt come at a better time for at- tracting attention. Business has been at a standstill, since the first of the month, but with the com- ing of cold weather there will be more demand for flowers. B. M, Wichers & Co., of Gretna, La., have brought suit against the New Or- leans Acid & Fertilizing Co., for dam- ages to the amount of $15,615.50, alleging that by reason of the noxious odors emanating from the plant of the defend- ants the business of the plaintiffs has been ruined and that valuable plants have been destroyed. . M. M. L. Stratford, Conn. — Henry Meacham is rebuilding his furnace room, which had been destroyed by fire. 16. ^' The Weekly Florists^ Review^ November 26, 1908. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW e! L.

There is no flower business that can- not be increased by the right kind of advertising. In the majority of cases where one fails to get his money's worth, the cause lies in trying to get more than one's money's worth. A GOOD many florists still are ordering supplies, writing on any old piece of paper. Better get a printed letterhead and be businesslike. The National Council of Horticulture makes a contribution to culinary litera- ture, its press bureau sendiag out u chap- ter on how to cook cranberries. It is cood business for a florist to know the" facts about the stock he sells, be it plants or pottery, and be able to use them intelligently with his custom- ers. The Washington flower show was the work of the retail florists and was espe- cially attractive to the public on that account. The retailers have the artistic taste that wins. The single and pompon chrysanthe- mums make fine, light, graceful arrange- ments for baskets and table centerpieces. Exhibited at the fall flower shows, these arrangements have done much to cause a demand for the stock next season. We all have much to be especially thankful for this year. With Killarney, My Maryland and Mrs. Jardine each claiming its share of the glass. Bridesmaid will no longer occupy the place of the leading pink rose — and there are more competitors to come. W. Frank & Sons, Portland, Ind., last year found a pink sport growing in theii* bench of the Richmond rose. It was a pleasing shade, somewhat darker than M^id, and they propagated several plants, all of which are now producing pink blooms identical with the original sport. Secretary Eudd states that at the na- tional flower show the membership of the S. A. F. was increased by forty-seven an- nual members and one life member. This is a good showing in comparison with the convention at Niagara Falls, where the accessions to the annual membership were sixty-three and the life members three. Some kind of protection is absolutely necessary for the preservation of many plants from the rigors of winter. Again, with many other plants, while they are of sufScient hardiness to stand the se- verest winters so far as their constitu- tions are concerned, nevertheless a cov- ering of loose manure or leaves is of great benefit in preventing the uplifting of their roots out of the ground by the action of the- frost. It will therefore bo wise to strew litter or forest leaves along the rows, over the roots of almost sifi perennials and many hard shrubs. Es- pecially is such a precaution desirable in the case of recently moved plants, be they perennials, shrubs or trees. GUARANTORS GET MONEY BACK. At a meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the National Flower Show, detail matters of accounting weiti suf- ficiently advanced to justify the adop- tion of a resolution authorizing the re- turn to guarantors the two assessments, aggregating fifty per cent, which were paid in advance of the show. The guarantors will therefore receive their money back within the next few days. At the same time a resolution was adopted asking the chairman to call a meeting of the National Flower Show committee at Indianapolis during the January convention of the American Carnation Society, for the purpose of passing upon final accounts. OBITUARY. Andrew L. Black. Andrew L. Black, a well known mem- ber of the trade in the Baltimore terri- tory, died November 18 at his home at Lutherville, Md. He was bom in Scot- land in 1841, but had lived near Baltimore for many years. He formerly had a con- siderable range of glass on Chase street, Baltimore, but increasing realty values caused him to sell the property and con- fine himself to the retail business, in which he was assisted by three sons. Mrs. James Eadie. The report comes from Cleveland, O., of the death of Mrs. James Eadie, widow of the late James Eadie, one of the pioneer florists of that city. She was §2 years of age.

The Great Central Market. Of all the factors affecting the flower market, the weather is possibly the most potent. Good weather increases the sup- ply and reduces the demand, especially the shipping demands made on this mar- ket. Bad weather cuts down the supply and increases the demand. Of last week's business little more need be said than that the weather for the whole week was unseasonably bright, warm, and in every way delightful, except for its effect on the market. Saturday, November 21, saw a large volume of busiuess, but at no advance in price, despite the near approach of Thanksgiving. Eeceipts were extremely heavy in practically all lines. Condi- tions were such that it was impossible to hold the stock back, as is usually done to a greater or less extent the week be- fore a holiday. The one exception to the rule of large supplies, somewhat slow demand and moderate prices, was the vio- let. Shipments from Ehinebeck were not heavy at any time last week, and the price steadily advanced. Locally grown singles, also, were in light supply, and prices on the upgrade. Monday's Market* The present week opened with two days of rain, but the bright sun of last week had started the buds, and the change in the weather did not affect the receipts appreciably. Nothing short of a continuation of dark weather and a decided fall in the temperature will have any special effect on production. If seasonable weather follows Thanksgiving, the market will respond with more sea- sonable values than hatve prevailed in the last fortnight. The passing of the mums' will not be viewed with regret by grow- ers of other stock. Supply is large in practically every department of the market. Beauties are not in specially heavy crop and would be called scarce if there was any material increase in the demand, but the Beauty is not in special request at Thanksgiv- ing. Good roses are to be had in quan- tity, with Killarney predominating. Eichmond is now in special request and somewhat short of the demand. Carna- tions in many instances show the effect of the warm weather and are not so good as they have been, but there still is much excellent stock on the market. Prices did not stiffen as much as was hoped, except for red, which are scarce. The chrysanthemum supply is ahead of the demand. The small mums are now pretty well cut, and this grade is bringing a rather better price than heretofore. Some of the best late sorts are now on, and large quantities of flow- ers of exhibition quality are offered, with the result that prices are unsatisfactory. Yellow sells better than any other color, $4 per dozen being obtained with ef- fort for some of the best varieties. The week opened with a continued scarcity of violets. Practically no east- ern violets reach this market Tuesday. The bulk of the Thanksgiving consign- ments are due Wednesday morning, after this issue of the Eeview is on the press. Wholesalers expect to be able to fill their orders, and the receipts may be larirey than anticipated. Valley is somewhat less abundant, but 18 The WedWy Horists' Review. November 26, 1908.

ToeteUf/s Market. By Tuesday the market was badly elutted and the wholesalers had given up ill hope of a satisfactory Thanksgiving. The hoped-for shipping demand had not developed, even in response to telegraptac offers of cheap stock sent to the big buyers. It appeared that the same un- seasonable weather conditions which pro- duced the greatly incrfeased supply in Chicago had done the swne thing all through the great Btretch of country that draws on Chicago in times of scarcity, and leaves us to eat or otherwise con- sume our flowers when local supphes are equal to their needs. City buyers are quick to take advan- tage of such a situation. The larger the supply the more critical they are, and the less they wUl pay for e^ffen the best stock. Tuesday they bought little or nothing, knowing that the more stock pJed up the cheaper it could be bought on Wednes- If there was any flower that was not a glut on Tuesday its value was destroyed by the general superabundance. The sup- ply was the greatest ever known for Thanksgiving, the quality nothing extra, demand lightest, and growers must be prepared for about the worst average re- turns Thanksgiving ever brought. Tues- day it looked as though it would be im- possible to clean up at any pnce by Thursday noon. Thanksgiving day all the wholesale houses close at 12 o'clock. Only one mail delivery, about 9 a. m. Various Notes. Wietor Bros, think highly of the Mrs. Jardine rose, and are utilizing all the wood they can get for propagating pur- poses. C. W. McKellar is handling bunches of cut Piersoni fern fronds, which sell quite well. P. A. Famey, of the A. L. Randall Co., has returned from a trip of four months, during which be had uniformly good business. He will start out again directly after Thanksgiving. Leonard Kill, president of the Flo- rists* Club, is to be congratulated on the outcome of the flower booth operated by the club at the national show. Only a small amount of stock was donated, making the booth practically a purely business proposition, and yet a profit of $553 was made for the club. Mrs. T. E. Waters had charge of the selling, and to her efforts, and those of the club's presi- dent, much of the success is due. E. C. Amling says that the business took on a different tone in the last few days of last week; had it not been for the fi»e weather and unusually large sup- ply, prices would have advanced sharply on the strength of the increased de- mand. But it didn't last long, C. S. Griffith has an attractive store at 160 North avenue. Robert Johnstone is confined to his bed at Valmora ranch, in New Mexico. His tubercular trouble is complicated by other disorders. William Nicholson is the last of the I flowei show visitors to tarry with us. With Mrs. Nicholson, he is staying for Thanksgiving with a daughter who lives at River Forest. J. A. Valentine has been at the Kaiser- hof since the flower show, busily engaged in his capacity as chairman of the audit- ing committee. He left for home Novem- ber 24. It appears to have escaped notice that at the recent election August F. Poehl- mann was elected president of the vil- lage of Morton -Grote. Bassett & Washbuiii now put up all their carnations in bunches of thirteen and find that by so doing they save con- siderable breakage. Percy Jones says that his growers are just beginning on their chrysanthemums. He figures the late mums will turn out much more profitable than anything ex- cept the earliest have been. Zech & Mann are not among those who think the new pink roses will displace Bridesmaid. Some of their growers are having splendid success this year. C. M. Dickinson, at E. H. Hunt 's, says the Christmas rush already has begun in the supply department. Peter Reinberg is cutting some spe- cially fine Mrs. Marshall Field. They say the variety not only is extra good for summer, but produces as well as any winter rose at this season. Vaughan & Sperry report local single violets as much improved in quality. Kennicott Bros. Co. says the results with the pompon chrysanthemums this fall will lead to a much larger supply next year. E. F.

W., lias leased a downtown store at the cor- ner of Fourteenth and H streets for a term of years. This is considered a fine location for an up-to-date flower store. He will open about December 1. He will sell his uptown store; in fact, he has practically closed a deal for its sale. It will continue as a flower store. Tke latest reports coming in from the ■flower show make the committee feel more elated than ever over the success of the show. The last night, Sunday, the show was packed to the doors. The only certificate given was to Mrs. Levi Leiter, for specimen plants exhibited by her gardener, Sam Simmonds. Mr. Peterson, of Cincinnati, O., made his usual visit for this season of the year, with a fine lot of samples of his begonias and ferns. He showed some fine Lorraine, as well as Pink Lorraine, and his new begonia, Pres. Taft. Mr. Craig, of Philadelphia, and H. Bayersdorfer, Jr., were in town. O. 0. BUFFALO. The Market. On this day of writing, November 23, the thermometer stands at 58 degrees. Store doors are wide open and trade is rushing — by the door. Business has been depressing the last week or so and stock none too plentiful, so conditions were not so bad for both sides. Cltib Exhibition. Ever since the organization of the new Florists' Club the enthusiasm has in- creased wonderfully and each affair has surpassed the preceding. The same has proven equally true of the recent flower show held at the Iroquois hotel last week. The membership roll of the club in- creased lately and brought in W. J, Pal- mer, and our president made him chair- man of the arrangement committee. He ably filled the bill, for with the help of his able supporters it was the grandest success of the club. All 'money matters were dispensed with and the competition was for glory and satisfaction. The affair was first arranged to be on show for one day and to invite such business men as the committee thought might take an interest in forming a hor- ticultural society such as other cities have. The success of the show was so marked and worked out so beautifully that the committee decided to run it one more day. The hall was well filled with- out being crowded and everything showed off to advantage. Through the kindness of E. D. Smith, E.

Reinberg and others, we were favored with a few of the new introductions, so the show was complete in every detail. In the evening of the first day the banquet was held in the same room as the exhibition. It was well attended by the members and a few friends. Wm. F. Kasting was toastmaster and ably filled the bill. He called on several men for a toast to the club, including Prof. Cowell to give a few remarks on a horticultural society and the national flower show. Mr. Cowell gave an excellent talk on both sub- jects. Everybody was satisfied with results and it has since been learned that the society people have spoken of it highly and many expressed their regret in not being able to see it. With the help of » few shows of this kind, the people will soon be interested enough to form a society well worthy of the name. Various Notes* An interesting speaker at the banquet was D. B. Long, who has long since left the business proper, but still is interested enough to take an interest in the shows or other affairs. Mr. Long was the first man to start' in the retail flower store business here. Thirty-six years ago No- vember 20 the two brothers started where S. A. Anderson now has his magnificent store. Mr. Long also spoke of the ad- vancement of the trade since he was in the business. C. F. ChVistensen has about cut out of his fam^uft Maud Dean. He had these to perfection this year, as the same were displayed at the show. His carnations are in tiptop shape and will have a good cut for the holidays.

PHILADELPHIA. The Risiii£ Eastern Market. The cut flower market showed greater activity last week than at any time this fall. There were some quiet days, but there could be no mistaking the fact that the volume of business was larger and prices firmer. Beauties were plentiful and finer even than usual at this season. Killarney and Bride have improved. Richmond is sell- ing better. Mrs. Jardine is good and" plentiful, but My Maryland is scarce. White Killarney has made its appear- ance, showing excellent form. Orchids are less plentiful. Cattleya TriansB has advanced in price. The other listed varieties, barring cypri- pediums, are only in moderate supply at last week's figures. Chrysanthemums have shortened mark- edly. There are still plenty of big flow- ers to be had, provided the price don't interfere. Jeanne Nonin has reinforced Mrs. Chadwick in whites. White Jones is in the next class. Pink and yellow are harder to obtain than white. In the latter color Golden Dome leads. Carnations have not kept pace with their rivals. The supply continues ample for all requirements and prices rule low. There was a slight advance on some fancy stock. Violets have never been so scarce in this market just before Thanksgiving, and prices jumped to a figure that drove many of the buyers out of the market. No one seemed to have had enough for either shipping or local orders. Every- one was calling on everyone else for vio- lets, generally without success. Valley showed an improvement in prices realized. Easter lilies are not plentiful, but there is no special demand for them. Bunches of Asparagus plumosus have been selling better; other greens are quiet. Bronze galax leaves have arrived. The Demand for Palms. The fall business in palms and dec- orative plants, which closed with this week, has been unusually active with the growers in this vicinity. The consensus of opinion is that the quantity of high grade plants that have been shipped from this market has been at least as large aa in any previous season, when it is remem- bered that last season was one of the most active on record, the fall shipping business having practically ended when the financial flurry of November, 1907, occurred. Comparing the plant growing industry with the cut flower tra^e and with nearly all the principal industries in this locality, it will be seen at a glance that the plant growers had espe- cial cause to give thanks on Thursday. Should anyone ask for a cause for this encouraging condition, it is not dif- ficult to find; the answer will simply be, quality. The quality of the Philadel- phia palms and many other decorative plants appeals to the buyers all over the country. This quality explains the healthy growth in spite of times of de- pression. J. D. Eisele, of the Henry A. Dreer Co., Biverton, N. J., when asked regarding plant conditions, said that while he had not had time to gather exact figures since his return from Eu- rope, he was convinced from the condi- tion of the houses and the shipping room that the demand was fully up to the average and believed that it would far exceed the demand of last year during the next six weeks. Joseph Heacock, president of the company that bears his name, said that the demand for kentias and other palms during the last season was greater than ever before. Even now large orders are going out daily. Mr. Heacock attributed the heavy demand to the publicity he had given his product. Charles D. Ball said that the demand this season had been so good that his stock was practically exhausted in many of the medium sizes. September exceeded any month, with one exception, since Mr. Ball has been in the palm growing business. The New Michell BtsilcUng.

Michell Co., as Review readers know, have purchased Tower Hall, and are rapidly remodeling it with the intention of moving a part of their business into the new building as soon as practicable. Through the courtesy of Frederick J. Michell, Jr., I am able to give those interested an idea of this new seed salesroom and warehouse. The front has been entirely remodeled, the entrance being moved from the side to the cen- ter, and a handsome show window placed on either side. These show windows may be best described by saying that they closely resemble the front of the present Michell building at 1018 Market street. Even the tiled flooring between the win- dows, with the word Michell worked in mosaic thereon suggests the uptown es- tablishment. The new building has a frontage on Market street of twenty-three feet, ig 180 feet deep, stretching back to Lud- low street, where the frontage is forty- seven feet. This wider frontage on Lud- low street is produced by a sort of dou- ble store, the Market street width being doubled when halfway back to the Lud- low street entrance, making an ell-shaped floor space. Just inside the front door is a passenger elevator running from the basement up to the fifth floor. In the rear, on Ludlow street, is a freight elevator covering the same distance, and a second freight elevator, intended for lowering and raising heavy weights from the first floor to the basement and re- turn. There is also a basement chute for sacks. The building will be lighted throughout by a combination of elec- tricity and gas. Electricity is preferred as a better light and more economical, but in the event of any interruption in the electric current, it is deemed wise to have gas as a substitute. The basement will be devoted entirely to storing fer- tilizers and all heavy material. In fact, it is hardly fair to speak in the future tense, for it is already being utilized as a store room. The first floor will have VkH yf- " »■■■ 24 The Weekly Florists' Review^ NOVBMBEB 26, 1908.

The wider ell-shaped portion at the rear of the store will be devoted to the oflBces, with ". showroom and entrance on Ludlow street. The Delaware side of the Ludlow street entrance will be devoted to a re- ceiving room for light merchandise. The second floor will be devoted to the order- filling department. The third floor will be largely used for storing implements and other stock. On the fourth floor the grass and clover seeds will be found. The fifth floor is surmounted by a fine glass roof. This floor will be utilized for a seed testing department and for a conservatory, where plants can be re- ceived and kept in condition until their turn for shipment arrives. The roof will be surmounted by a wonderful sign, something on the flagpole style, thirty- five feet high and two and one-half feet wide, the word Michell running down so that it can be seen from the Delaware to the Schuylkill, with seeds below. There is much to do in the new build- ing, cleaning and freshening of walls, in- stalling of counters, seed boxes, racks, oflSce partitions and furniture, and all the endless details required to make up a modem seed house. Frederick J. Michell says that his company's seed house will be the finest of its kind in the country, and that he hopes it will be ready for occupation about December 15. It is proposed to carry on business both at 1018 Market and at 518 Market. Various Notes. Charles Henry Fox will address the Florists' Club in Horticultural hall, Broad street, below Locust street, on Tuesday evening, December 15. His theme will be "Salt on the Tail of an Idea." It is confidently predicted that Mr. Fox will make a success with this, his maiden speech. Eobert A. Craig is blessed with a vein of humor.

' trend of the times is toward self -improve- ment along all lines of human endeavor. The young attorney, for example, who rises from obscurity into the Umelight of renown, owes his success not to blind luck or to his lucky star, but to hard and persistent work, coupled with an uncon- querable desire to fit himself for the pro- fession that he chose. The physician who is at the end of his line in the case of an emergency simply proves that he does not know his business, and just as sure as night follows day. will his career reach the end of its line. One cannot possibly go through life on the assumption that success, like love, is blind, and enters one 's door unbidden — that ' ' where ignor- ance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." To quote once again from Emerson, "Every- one can do his best thing easiest." Granted, then, that it is easiest to do the thing one knows best, the wonder is why so many of us possess but a mere smat- tering of our own business, instead of a thorough training and knowledge; why so many in the trade grope in the dark, plodding along in a haphazard sort of way, while those in other professions are forging ahead, keeping pace with the progress of the times. Modern Problems and Requirements. The problems that confront us today are indeed so much greater and so much more complicated than those that con- fronted our predecessors a generation or two ago, that unless we are well equipped to keep pace with the times, or in other words, unless we know our business, fail- ure is sure to stare us in the face. The trend of the times is toward im- provements along all lines. Old methods, and antiquated means and ways, are no longer adequate to cope with present con- ditions. We have entered upon a new era of commercial and industrial life; new conditions have arisen, new problems confront us, and new methods must be employed. The successful florist of today is no longer the man who toils from early morning until late into the night, mind- ing his own business and never caring about what his neighbor does. On the contrary, it is the man who toils less and thinks more, who, while minding his own business, and minding it well, keeps also his eye on his neighbor's progress; who is ever on the alert, ever watchful, ever eager to learn the "whys and the where- fores"— it is a man of this type, I say, that is sure to succeed. Vifilence and Resourcefulness. The successful grower of today is he who can adapt himself to new conditions; who can cope with new problems as they present themselves, without a tremor; who knows "what to do next." Back numbers and antiquated methods no longer count. In this age of keen com- petition, especially in our line of busi- ness, which the all-powerful octopus, the trust, has thus far failed to invade, con- stant vigilance is the only price of suc- cess. The "hit or miss" methods of our forefathers, and the "lucky stars," are no longer potent factors in the present day race for progress. "Depend upon Providence," say the Eussians, "but be on the alert yourself." There is wisdom in this simple Eussian saying.

To IBecome thoroughly proficient in one's business one must of necessity ap- ply himself with all his might to the study. «£ ail details, for it is the little details, whose name is legion, that make up the sum total of one's success, or failure, j^s the case may be. The florist who looks far and beyond, whose ambi- tion it is to rise beyond mediocrity, who strives to keep pace with those enlisted in the cause of progress, must first of all be an earnest thinker; second, a hard and conscientious worker; and third, he must know his business, as thoroughly as does the financial genius the condition of the stock market, or the eminent attor- ney the nature of the case he >rgues, or the world-renowed surgeon the condition of the patient upon the operating table.

In the Island of Guernsey mint is one of the items grown in quantity for the English market, but a serious disease has, during the last year or two, spread among the forced mint, and the trade in this, which was at one time a good paying crop, is nearly dying out. So far no one seems to have identified the disease. It is not the ordinary yellow rust of mint, but a black disease more nearly resembling the potato disease, and it works in a similar way. The stems above ground are first attacked and then the lower leaves, and the underground stems. All the usual fungicides have been tried, but so far without the least success. VEGETABLE MARKETS. Chicago, Nov. 24. — Cucumbers, $1 to $1,50 doz.; leaf lettuce, 30e to 40e case; radishes, 20c to 40c dozen bunches ; mush- rooms, 35c to 50c lb.

New Yoek, Nov. 23. — Cucumbers are generally of rather ordinary quality and moving slowly. A little fancy lettuce brings higher prices; ordinary stock still has to sell at easy figures. Mushrooms steady for prime large. Radishes firm.

In the Review of October 15, page 32, you recommend dissolving nitrate of soda in water for use on lettuce. Do you ad- vise watering overhead! "Will overhead watering, either with ordinary water or with the nitrate solution, injure the plants? Any information on the sub- ject will be greatly appreciated. G. G. Nitrate of soda is a powerful fertilizer and must be used sparingly. It is ap- plied dry sometimes, but I prefer to dissolve it in water and apply with a sprinkUng can. I take a 3-inch pot of the nitrate for each barrel of water. It must be thoroughly dissolved before using, or some of the canfuls might have a much stronger solution than others. A good way is to fill the barrels with water the night before and put in the nitrate then, but it can be dissolved quickly in a small pail of warm water and then poured into the barrel, when it will be ready to use after a thorough stirring in the barrel with a long stick that tvill reach to the bottom. It should also be stirred a few times while using it. If made according to the foregoing directions, there will be no danger of injuring the foliage with it. It can be applied with the rose on the can, letting it fall like rain over the plants, or the rose tip can be removed from the can and the solution poured on the soil be- tween the rows of plants without wetting the foliage. It may be applied once each A BED OP MUSHROOMS Raised from our SpBwn. will bear loneer and yield better than from any other variety of Spawn, This is proven by facts.

Mention The Review when you writf week and is very beneficial for lettuce, but is not a complete fertilizer. Manure, contains other ingredients required by lettuce and all crops, but well rotted ma- nure, which is the only kind safe to use in preparing the soil for the lettuce beds, does not contain enough nitrogen to make a properly balanced fertilizer for such leaf crops as lettuce. As to watering overhead, most grow- ers are careful not to get much water on the foliage after the plants get large and thick, on account of the danger from fungous diseases, which are Ukely to start if the plants do not dry off before^ night. ^ Eeferring to the nitrate of soda again, I would say that it might be used stronger than in these directions, but if made a trifle too strong it will burn the edges of the young leaves and also in- jure the roots. Whenever a grower tries something new to him, he should experi- ment on a few plants first and note the effect on them before risking his entire crop. H. G. ONIONS FROM SEED. I should like to know how to grow Prizetaker onions from seed, on newly cleared land. The soil is a sandy loam, in southeastern Pennsylvania, D. J. W. If you mean to grow the onions from seed sown outdoors, Prizetaker needs the same treatment as any other ordinary variety. On newly cleared soil the ground would have to be well worked, as onions delight in soil that is well pulverized. As your soil is sandy, a liberal dressing of manure would be necessary. For this there is nothing better than the article procured from the cow yard. It is better if partially decomposed, but not too much so, and should be well worked into the soil before sowing the seed. Get the surface of the soil as smooth as possible, and sow the seed in shallow drills one foot apart, at the rate of about one ounce to 100 feet of drill. Firm the soil well over the seed by tramping vrith the feet. Frequent hoeing is necessary during the With the Skinner Sys- tem of Irrigation ONE MAN can do the work of FORTY MEN watering with a hose* Till Skinner Irrigation Go. TROY, O.

PROPAGATING PRIVET. Please state when is the proper time to start California privet and the best length of cuttings to make. I shall be glad to get instructions from some- one who knows how to propagate privet successfully. U. G. H. A start can be made now in the pre- liminary work of the propagation of California privet. Taking everything into consideration, the rooting of cuttings of the wood made during the past season is perhaps the most satisfactory method. At any time now this wood should be cut, made into about 6-inch lengths and tied up into bundles. These should be stored away for the winter in a cool shed or cellar and covered with soil or sand, so to remain until the state of the weather in early spring will permit the planting of the cuttings in nursery rows in the open ground. Before the work of putting in the cuttings in spring commences, it is impor- tant that the ground be well dug and afterward raked to an even surface. Then a line should be stretched and an even trench excavated with a spade. The cuttings can then be taken, by the bundle, in the hands of the planter, who will be able to lay them rapidly against the edge of the trench, putting in just enough soil to hold them in place. Another man follows and com- pletes the filling in, also firming the soil. The cuttings may be placed about two inches apart in the rows, and the rows should be at least fifteen inches apart, in order to allow freedom of growth, as well as freedom of action in the subse- quent cultivation of the soil. In the following spring the young plants should be transplanted and placed about six inches apart, in rows a little wider apart than those from which they were removed. I have had remarkable success in the propagation of privet from young wood taken early in July. These I put in a soil composed mainly of leaf-mold, in a ROSES for FLORISTS HKAVT SKUBCTKD FORCING GRAOK. CRIMSON RAHBLKR, extra heavy, strong canes, 6 to 6-ft., superb forcing stock, $12.00 per 100.

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. Description:— The flower Is 4^ inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, w^ll built up in the center and has a wide guard petal, with stiflness that gives it a grand makeup in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stiffer, it keeps and ships much better than the above variety.

The Market The extra v?arm and clear days of last week had a tendency to hasten on stock in good shape. Consequently there was plenty of everything except violets; that is, those grown locally. Plenty of the New York state violets can be had, but those grown nearer by are always pre- ferred. All in all, shipping trade was better than the week before and with plenty of advance orders for Thanksgiv- ing, it no doubt will be still better. Pros- pects point to a continued good supply in all lines. Vuious Notes. The Messrs. LoeflBer, of Watertown, Wis., are consigning some extra fine sweet peas and violets to this market, the latter being better than in previous sea- sons. M. A. McKenney Co- says that business last week was satisfactory, the bulk being for weddings. J. M. Fox used quite a few cut flowers for several good sized weddings Novem- ber 21 and 22. C. C.

The Market Last week showed a marked improve- ment over any preceding one, as stock of all kinds has been cleaned up better than heretofore. Carnations, which have been going begging, were cleaned up readily and on Saturday there were not enough to supply the demand. Boses have also moved better than usual. Violets have had an unusual run, being cleaned up early each day. Mums are coming in well; the only ones selling slow are the poorer grades, of which there have been great quantities. | Various Notes. The J. M. Gasser Co. is sending in a fine cut of Killarney roses from the Rocky Eiver greenhouses. A visit to John Kirchner found every- thing in its usual good shape. A house of Boston ferns is especially fine. A lot of Eoman hyacinths, the first started, give promise of being extra good. Ogden Gaul is on the road again, call- ing on the trade for the Cleveland Cut Flower Co. He reports business good. Mrs. James Eadie, wife of the late James Eadie, passed away at the age of 82 years. The Eadie Co. is one of the pioneers in the business in this city. Monday evening, November 16, the Florists' Club entertained the ladies at a most enjoyable event. All means of amusement were at the disposal of the guests. Prizes were awarded for bowling and card playing. The young folks also indulged in dancing. Those present en- joyed meeting many old friends, which all went to make the event more pleasant. The Cleveland delegation, on the re- turn from Chicago, report having had a most enjoyable trip. C. A. Bramley is about to open a branch store on Superior avenue, corner of East Ninetieth street. Robert Kegg, of West Park, is sending in a fine cut of carnations and mums.

The Minnesota State Florists' Associ- ation held its regular monthly meeting November 17, at (Jolumbia hall, St. An- thony Park. This was one of the most interesting meetings held in the history of the new association. There was more interest evinced than heretofore. A num- ber of members came uj> with exhibits, and there is an outlook for an interest- ing future. J. M. Underwood, of the State Horticultural Society, spoke at length on the advisability of getting a new building at the State Fair grounds, and he urged the members of the asso- ciation to take a greater interest in the exhibits there, and eventually make the fair an event with the florists. Senator Cashman, of the Clinton Falls Nursery Co., Owatonna, exhibited a col- lection of roses, carnations and violets, and received a diploma. Lakewood Green- house exhibited some Eaton and Bonnaf- fon chrysanthemums, and celestial pep- pers, securing 75 points. T. Wirth, on the part of the park board greenhouses, exhibited some of their fancy mums, and also received a diploma. The securing of a different and better hall in which to hold the meetings was discussed. A. J. Smith read a paper on chrysanthemums. J. P. Jorgenson was to have given his impressions of the Chi- cago show, but, as he was unable to come, Mr. Wirth, Mr. "Will and A. Swanson supplemented each other in discussing it. It was readily seen that if the florists in general would come forward with ex- hibits from all over the state, if possible, ' (Continued on Page 60.) GERANIUMS Good Stock From S-inch Pots.

Swanson had the decorating of the Auditorium for the Hostesses' ball, one of the two largest balls of the sea- son. Palms, baytreea, borwood and Bos- ton ferns were used in profusion, and an immense lot of decorating was needed to cover the vast spaces. In addition to this Mr. Swanson had a number of bou- quets, and altogether had a very busy day. Miss H. B. Whitted made up a number of original baskets for the ball. The baskets were imported, tied with tulle and velvet to match the gown of the bearer, and filled with violets, orchids or roses. Will Bros, have taken over the cut flower department at the Golden Rule Store, St. Paul, William Topel having charge of it. R. A. Latham was busy until the last call for bouquets for the ball, those made of violets, valley and orchids hav- ing the preference. James Souden had three good decora- tions last week, and had a regular holi- day rush the day before the ball. The Minneapolis Floral Co. has some fine cyclamen and Primula obconica in bloom, which are going fast for Thanks- giving sales.

The Schmidt & Botley Co., recently in- corporated to take over the partnership business of Schmidt & Botley, has com- pleted its organization by the election of* the following officers: President, Adam Schmidt; vice-president, Kobert H. Bot- ley; secretary and treasurer, Charles W. Schmidt. The capital stock is $25,000, and the management will continue pra«- tically as heretofore, with Eobert H. Botley in charge of the growing and packing and Charles W. Schmidt at th« head of the office and sales departments. The company enjoys a well established mail-order business in plants, seeds and bulbs, issuing a catalogue in considera- ble quantities each spring and fall. Houses aggregating 90,000 square feet of glass and six acres of land are utilized in caring for the present business, but the management has in contemplation the purchase of additional land on which to grow shrubbery. The American Eose & Plant Go., another recently incorporated concern, purchased Harry Eeeser's place, consist- ing of 20,000 square feet of glass and four and one-half acres of land adjoin- ing the premises of the Good & Eeesa Co., as well as those of Gustave Schneider, formerly known as the Agnew place. This company wUl do a general wholesale ^business in plants, such as ferns, roses, phlox, peonies, etc. Opha Jackson will have general management of the business and has usually spent a considerable portion of his time on the road, while Carl E. Glenn will have charge of the growing. Harry Beeser will go into the broker- age business after a lifetime in the flora) line, disproving the usual rule, "Once a florist, always a florist." Ge. Dale.

The house is 27x200 feet and runs east and west, with a lean-to along the north side, five feet wide.

To heat the house and lean-to to a carnation temperature, 50 degrees, dur- ing cold weather, with steam, I would suggest that you use a 4-inch main riser from the boiler to the center of the house and that a cross be installed at that point, so as to allow carrying the riser on to the next house and to also provide for a 2-inch flow pipe to be car- ried in either direction 100 feet to the ends of the house, there to divide by three or four branches to feed as many coils, according to the position of the pipes. The coils would carry, in all, eighteen 1^/4 -inch return pipes, three of which should be in the lean-to portion and fifteen distributed under the benches of the main house. By the use of valves on the branches* of the flow pipe leading to the heating coils, and good globe and check valves on the returns between the manifold and the main return, it will be easy to throw any coil out of service. The Bnmham and the other 6ood Boilers There are other good boilers, of course, but who wants only a £:ood boiler? Now listen ! It is not a very unusual occurrence for a few men to make the same mis- take, and keep on asserting they are right (because none of us like to admit we are wrong), but it is not reason- able to think that, say, 1000 men who think alike about any one make of boiler, are as apt to be dead wrong as only 50 men who pin their faith on some other makes. The fact that the Bumham boiler is heating the hundreds of greenhouses it is today, seems to put Bumhams in the class with the 1000 men who think alike, and who know they haven't made any mis- take. The Bumham is the only Cast Iron Sectional Boiler made especially for greenhouse work. It is the boiler that has grown up with the green- house business — has met its demands step by step.

I wish to heat a greenhouse 17x36, three and one-half feet to the eaves !ind eight and one-half feet to the ridge, with glass in one end only. I wish to grow geraniums and other bedding plants, also tomato jilants. What temperature would be required? The outside temperature in this part of New York state occasion- ally goes to 20 degrees below zero. Us- ing cither 2-incli or 1%-inch returns, how many returns would be needed, and what number and size of flows! The bottom of the boiler pit is not more than two feet below the level of the greenhouse floor and I cannot con- veniently elevate the expansion tank more than three or four feet above the system. Would the Honeywell heat generator iielp me out, and, in case I used one, what piping system would you recommend? Does hot water under pressure require more constant firing than the open sys- tem? A. B. R. I judge that a good plan to follow in this case will be to carry a 2-inch flow from the boiler under the ridge to the far end of the house, and return by the use of twelve IMi-inch pipes arranged under the benches. The expansion tank should be connected with the main re- turn near the boiler, by, say a %-inch pipe, and the tank itself should be placed at least six to ten feet above the highest point in the flow pipe. Place it on a trestle on top of the roof if necessary, and house it in a cupola. You will find this arrangement more efficient than the open system, and no more exacting in regard to attention. L. C. C. ONE FLOW SUFFICIENT. I am going to build a greenhouse 16x30 feet, with two feet of glass in the side walls and the lower three feet double boarded, with paper between. The house will run north and south. The south end will be glass and the north end will connect to the boiler house and potting shed. There will be a raised bench six feet wide and twenty feet long in the center of the house, with a 2-foot walk all around it, and there will bo a 3-foot raised bed around the sides and ends, with the exception of about three feet in the center of each end, which will be used for entrances. The house is to be heated to 45 or 50 degrees in zero weather, in this Ohio climate. I intend to use a round Burnham or a Wilks hot water boiler, which will be placed in the northeast corner of the shed. Please state what size of boiler I would need. I intend to use an open tank system. The tank will not be over three feet above the main flow, which will be the highest pipe, and the boiler pit will not be over three feet below the ground level. Now, I intend to run a 3-inch pipe straight up from the boiler to about the same height as the purlins and then run STANDARD Thermostat STYLE 1 Diameter, 0 inchea PRICE, $6.00 EACH Arranged with binding: posts to be connected with wires, so as to ring: a bell.

Gentlemen : — Thermostat arrived and works to entire satisfaction. You are certainly to be cimgratuUted on furoishingr the trade with such a valu- able and at the same time so cheap a 'watchman" for the greenhouse dur- ing day and night time. A person can retire without worry; in case of any emergency the Thermostat will do its duty and prevent great pecun iary loss.

If^ you use a return steam trap, it will be necessary to carry the main return into a receiving tank or hot well, and from there carry the water back to t^ie boiler. In this case one house should be equipped with a boiler rated to carry at least 2,000 square feet of radiation. L. C. C. DETROIT. The Qttfo Exhibition. Some years ago an enterprising enter- tainment committee decided to stir up things a little by holding an exhibition of home-grown stock in the Ei^rists' Club's rooms. The idea has gfown and now several such displays are held each year. On the evening of November 18 an exhibition of fall stock was held in connection with the regular meeting. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange kindly gave the members the use of its large, well equipped basement for the purpose. When you consider that no premiums were offered and that the date of the show was announced only a week before, the exhibitors surely deserve much thanks. Three firms from out of the city re- sponded with exhibits, the largest and most commendable of which was that of Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich. This firm showed nine seedlings and many of their this season's introductions. Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, sent fifty of their new carnation, O. P. Bassett, which made a decided hit with the carna- tion growers. Eobert Craig Co., Philadelphia, sent a few sprays of Baby Margaret, a white sport of the yellow pompon chrysanthe- mum, Baby. Fred Pautke, of Grosse Pointe, brought down quite a collection of stock. Vases of fifty Yellow Jones, White Jones, Yel- low and White Chadwick, Maud Dean, a fine vase of Enguehard, President Schmidt, Mrs. Chamberlain and others spoke highly of the grower's abilities. Three vases of pompons were also in the collection, two of these being his own seedlings. Mr. Pautke also showed fine Harlowarden carnations, several vases of a shell pink seedling carnation, some sweet peas and some very fine daisies. J. B. Dinser had a number of well done ferns of different varieties, and begonias. August Von Boeselager, of Mt. Clem- ens, sent fifty of his new seedling carna- tion, Clara. The color is similar, to Har- lowarden. Some yellow cosmos around the vase of carnations set them off. John Breitmeyer's Sons displayed sev- eral fine cattleyas and dendrobiums, also a well grown box of valley. Thomas Browne's Eaton towered above everything in the hall, while his Dr. Enguehard were also prize winners. Be- sides these was a fine vase of Golden Wedding. The only private gardener who re- sponded to the invitation of the com- mittee was J. J. De Carteret, of Grosse Pointe. His Yellow Jones, Dr. Enguehard and Vinkjey Smith were attractive. Michael Bloy showed some well done cyclamens and Begonia Gloire de Lor- raine; also good mums. The best carnations were shown by Leopold Mallest, of Mount Clemens. A vase of twenty-five of Lawson as we used to see them loomed up among some fine Enchantress and Beacon. Gus. Taepke had some good primroses and several varieties of ferns. . J. E. Smith, of Wyandotte, showed sev- eral ever-blooming geraniums. Some Wyandotte mums were also there.

You cannot afford to take chances or experiment.

Lucien Leclere, who was laid up last week with tonsilitis, is able to be out again and is ready for business. S. S. Kelley is sending out some good mums and carnations. Rudolph Klag, who was formerly em- ployed by J. A. Keller as rose and car- nation grower, is now located in Mis- souri. Fister Bros, built 20,000 feet of glass last summer for lettuce and cucumbers. There is a good demand for forced vege- tables here. The plant is heated by a large Kroeschell boiler. Mr. Nichols, superintendent of City cemetery, is busy planting trees and shrubs.

THE WHILLDIN PGTTEHV COMPANY THE LARGEST MAMUFACTURERS OF STANDARD FLOWER POTS PHILADELPHIA, PA. LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y. Mention The Review when you write. JERSEY CITY, N. J. dNONNATI. The Market Another week has passed which lingers pleasantly in the memory. We have had good business and have every reason to be satisfied. With Thanksgiving now upon us, the coming week will undoubt- edly be a good one. In fact, from the orders already booked, it could not be otherwise. Chrysanthemums are showing indica- tions of the approach of the end of their season. Large, fancy stock has advanced in price during the last week and will go still higher. First-class blooms will bring $3 per dozen readily enough, and there will be many mums sold at that price this year. While one would be led to believe that mums are scarce now, this is largely due to the fact that the growers are holding them for Thanksgiv- ing. Still, the end of the mum season is in sight, and after the vast amount of Thanksgiving stock is out of the way, only a few of the latest sorts will be left. As to other stock, it remains much as reported last week. Boses are plen- tiful enough and the stock is good. Car- nations are also equal to the demand. Violets remain scarce and are not equal to the demand by any means. They have advanced in price to 75 cents and $1 per hundred. It is surprising how the green goods business has developed in this city during the last few years. Now such items as galax leaves, leucothoe sprays, fancy ferns and wild smilax are being handled here in very large quantities. This city has developed into a sort of distributing point and, with its facilities for re- ceiving shipments from the south, it is justly so. This business, great though it is, is still in its infancy and is bound to increase day by day. Various Notes. H. Schmidt, of Oxford, O., will be in with a fine lot of Golden Wedding, Tim- othy Eaton and Yellow Eaton for Thanksgiving. They are first-class and will bring the top market price.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ rs^r^K^^n^nmn^n^n^r^^u^:^^ ^•^^••y^-u^-y.'^-i>^-^^-^ I THE RETAIL FLORIST WEDDING BOUQUETS. Valley the Most Popular Material. The majority of the brides carry bou- quets of valley; indeed, it is probable more bride's bouquets are made of valley than of all other flowers combined, al- though the sweet pea also is a favorite flower for this purpose. I described the construction of a shower bouquet of val- ley in a recent issue of the Review, and anyone with a little aptitude for cut flower work can, by the aid of those di- rections and a little practice, become pro- ficient. It often is said that a florist's abilities are judged by his bride's bou- quets more often than by any other class of work, so it pays to pay attention to the little details of good craftsmanship. Sweet Pea Bouquets. Sweet peas are among the flowers which do nicely for almost any kind of work. They make up exceptionally well as wedding bouquets and, what is more, it does not require much experience to make a pretty sweet pea bouquet. It will be necessary to wire most of the flowers into bunches of about six to nine flowers in each bunch. In wiring see that each bunch is in itself loose and airy. A good plan is to wire a spray of green in with some of the bunches. Proceed to make the bouquet the same as you would with valley. You can ob- tain a fine shower effect by using some long sprays of Asparagus Sprengeri for a starter, tying only a few of the bunches of peas in with this ; then as you work along use more flowers until at last you build up a bouquet of good size. If any of the sweet pea green is avail- able I would use, some of this, but do not use this entirely, for by using some other green you will find your customer will be better pleased. Asparagus Sprengeri is one of the prettiest greens to use with sweet peas. A bouquet of medium size will call for the use of about 150 to 250 peas. This will give you enough for use in the ribbon. Gauze ribbon is by far the nicest to use witli the peas, although satins are fashionable this year. Violet Bouquets. Violets are not commonly used in wed- . " Decrmbbr 3, 1908.' The Weekly Florists^ Review* Wreath of Violets, Roses and Orchids* The cloth was trimmed with bows of yel- low ribbon and sprays of adiantums. Above the table was suspended an elec- tric light dome, with four yellow lights, which made a beautiful effect. DEUTZIAS AND SPIRAEAS. What treatment shall we give Deutzia gracilis and Spiraea Anthony Waterer, Holland grown, to have them in for Easter? The deutzias are pot grown. M. & C. Pot up the deutzias and Spiraea An- thony Waterer as soon as you receive them. Be sure the balls are well soaked with water before potting, if dry. Keep them in a cool frame or pit until they are wanted for forcing. If they get a little rrost it will not harm the shoots, but pro- tect the pots with straw or leaves. To have Deutzia gracilis in nice bloom for i-aster you should allow it from six to seven weeks. Hard forcing will then be unnecessary. Start in a temperature of 55 degrees at flight. In such a house they should come in flower for Easter, 1909, >r you start them about February 20. It is better to remove the plants, when expanded, to a cooler house. Spiraea Anthony Waterer takes a little longer time than the deutzia to flower; better allow it two months. It is a less satisfactory forcing plant than the deut- ziaj but if your plants are pot grown they should do all right. Of course, each of these shrubs can be had in bloom in a shorter period by hard forcing. You will not then, however, have as stocky and serviceable plants as if grown cooler. C. W. SWEET PEAS FOR APRIL. We have a house', 32x200, in which we wish to plant sweet peas. When should we plant so as to have the crop off by April 15 f Would it be advisable to plant the seed in flats and transplant? What varieties are most in demand in the wholesale markets? How far apart should the rows be, and bow close in the row should the plants be? R. B. By running your rows lengthwise of the house you can plant five rows, allow- ing them six feet between the rows. You can have an additional row by reducing the width to five feet, but we would ad- vise allowing but five rows to the house. You can either start your seeds in flats or sow directly in the rows; the former method we like best. Avoid too thick planting. If you set out the little seed- lings in a single line two inches apart, they will give you far better returns than if you plant closer. Thinner planting will give you stronger haulm and much longer flower stalks. A night tempera- ture of 46 to 50 degrees suits sweet peas, the higher figure being to their liking while in bloom. Peas sown now will bloom longer than April 15. Get your seed in at once and restrict yourself to a few varieties. The regular forcing sweet peas are not numer- ous. For white use Mont Blanc or Flor- ence Denzer; another good forcing vari- ety is Watchung. Christmas Pink, pink and white, is the earliest of its color. Earliest of All comes in a little later. The two foregoing colors take best in the markets. Mrs. Alex.

Sim, salmon pink, are all good forcing varieties. We would advise plant- ing two rows each of white and pink and wMte, and the remaining row of the other colors. C. W. A BAD CASE OF SPOT. I do not know that I shall have any violets this season, on account of six weeks of spot. I have had all kinds o£ instructions, but can do nothing with the» spot on my Princess of Wales violets. I have 800 Princess and 350 Marie Louise in the same house. The latter have not been touched with spot yet, but I fear the Princess are ruined, unless they recuperate when the weather gets cooler. Outdoors, in a large coldframe, I had Marie Louise and Dorsetts side by side. In this case the spot just ruined the Marie Louise. I had to pull them up and throw them away. All the Dor- setts remained free from the disease. Now, it will take a wiser person than I to understand such freakishness in spot. My plants, many of them, stand with bloom buds stancQng up, but with no leaves to mention, as I took them off as soon as I saw them limp with spot. I feel perfectly helpless in the matter. E. A. P. This subscriber has my heartfelt sym- pathy, for a good dose of spot, which they have by the description, is most dis- couraging and anything but desirable. As for the "all kinds of instructions," I do not doubt it in the least, and the most exasperating part of it all is that the instructions usually do not amount to anything. If it is a very light touch of spot, one can sometimes pick carefully all leaves that are at all touched and bum them. Then, by giving good treat- ment, you may save them, so as to get a fair crop. But when the attack is at all bad, I would pull them up, "lock, stock and gun barrel," and cremate them in the boiler. And if some of the plants were good and others diseased, I would surely pull and bum the latter, lest the disease spread to the good ones. I would then give the soil a pretty liberal dusting of lime, turn it up and dry it out, and plant some other crop that would do well in a. violet house temperature, etc. Yes, not only is spot freakish, but I might add that violets themselves are freakish, and a grower does often run up against things like this that make him feel helpless. Yet, with spot, if you will look back over your treatment, you will frequently, not always, find that you really helped it on by something that you did. Perhaps it was a little check in growth, or a few damp, cloudy days, or closing up tight with a heavy fumigation with tobacco stems. There might be all or part of these, or a combination of some of them, and lo! the next morning finds you with a house full of the dis- ease and your hopes of profits gone in one short night. But such is occasionally our lot, and the next day sees the ever cheerful florist up and hustling and pre- paring the house for a crop of some other kind, hoping for the best, and determined never to be caught just that way again, if he knows it. R. E. Shuphelt. IN A GOLD HOUSE. Eor various reasons I would like to turn my violet house into a coldframe. The plants are Princess of Wales violets in solid benches. The house runs north and south and is heated by hot water. The plants apparently are perfectly healthy. The temperature so far has been 40 degrees at night. All days when over 40 degrees outside the top and side ventilators were wide open. I thought first to mulch lightly with old stable manure, then cover with marsh hay and dead leaves and leave the top ventilators open a little; in short, treat the green- house as though it were a coldframe, banking with fresh manure. Then I want to start a fire in time td have a large Easter crop, say in March. I have always kept my pipes full of water all summer. Will ife injure the pipes to leave them empty three months? Will the plants, being now under cover, be too tender for such treatment, and would they be of any use for propagation by cuttings or division? L. D. There is no reason why the violets will not carry all right through the winter protected as you have suggested. They have not had sufficient fire heat as yet to make them too tender, al- though it would have been better had none been used. It would be better to lay the dead leaves over the plants. This is nature's own covering and cannot be improved upon. Lay the marsh hay over the leaves, letting the covering be per- fectly light. I do not think there is any need of the old stable manure. Of course, even when banked outside and well covered inside, quite a little frost will get to the plants. If your house is a low one, can you not arrange to use mats or burlapping for additional protection outside? Or board shutters without the mats will help considerably. It will not hurt the pipes to have the water drawn off; no other course is open to you. Do not remove the covering too, sud- denly. Let the frost thaw out of the beds before exposing the plants. Plants grown cold are preferable for propagating purposes to those exposed to fire heat all winter. C. W. VIOLETS ON TILE BENCHES. The illustrations on page 10 are from photographs taken at the violet houses of J. Vender Linden, Bhinebeck, N. Y., and one of them shows one of the first houses of violets ever planted on tile benches. It will be of special interest to the growers of violets on this account. The honfefe is 24x150 and it will be noted that the plants are strong and healthy. The other house shows a house benched in the ordinary way, with solid beds, in which the growth also is excellent. Mr. Vonder Linden is growing 60,000 violet plants ^his season. He is the president of the Growers' Cut Flower Co., recently organized and opened for business in New York city.

I have about 200 stocks in 5-inch pots, which are now in a frame outside. The plants are fine. I bought the seed last fall and the firm I bought it of must have made a mistake in the seed, for I sent for ten weeks' stock and they sent me the wrong kind. It has not yet bloomed or shown any signs of buds. It looks to me like the wallflower type. Now, I would like to ask if the plants would bloom if benched in a cool house, and if it would pay. E. M. Undoubtedly you have received the wrong variety of stock, but if you have a cool house bench and plant them in, they will flower at a time when the flowers will prove serviceable and they will pay you well, unless the strain is unusually poor and the majority tutu out to be singles. C. W. STOCKS DAMPING OFF. Will you please give me some informa- tion as to the cause of the damping off of my stocks? I have a small bed, 4x20 feet, into which I transplanted the stocks from the seed pans. I used fresh soil in the bed and they were fine and stocky until about half grown, when they began to show yellow leaves at the bot- tom, and to damp off. S. W. B. You do not state how thickly you set out your plants ; probably you have plant- ed too closely. The best way to grow stocks is to pot off singly from the seed boxes and, when nicely established in these, plant into the benches. The plants of the ten weeks' stocks require a foot apart each way; early varieties, such as White Column, can go clbser. Stocks are impatient of a high temperature; 50 degrees at night should not be exceeded, and plenty of fresh air is needed on all possible occasions. Scratch the surface over occasionally, to prevent its becom- ing baked. Too much nitrogenous manure would cause damping off, especially if the ma- nure was rather new. Soil of a sour nature would also cause the same trouble. Without knowing more of the exact con- ditions, we cannot tell the reason of your plants going off, but it has very likely been due to too close planting, keeping the plants and soil too moist and not giv- ing the required fresh air. C. W. SOUTHERN GREENS. "There is a fine big crop of holly in this section this season, which is well berried and of luxuriant, glossy foliage," says E. A. Beaven, of Evergreen, Ala. "We expect to double our output of southern decoratives this season. The express movement of wild smilax is on now. Consignments are going to all parts of the north. The heavy carlot move- ment of holly, galax leaves, palm leaves, crowns, needle pines and magnolia fo- liage began in earnest about Novem- ber 20 and will continue for about twenty days. While our express ship- ments are extensive, we make a specialty of packing and shipping in carlots, which has grown wonderfully during the last nine years which we have been in it." The E. A. Beaven concern operates from several shipping stations between Montgomery and Mobile, Ala. It oper- ates its own saw mill and box factory. The plant is now running full hand, turning out packages for this season's trade. KEEPING DAHLIA TUBERS. Please let me know how to keep dahlia roots over, as I h^ve trouble every year. D. J. W. When lifting dahlia tubers you should leave them, out long enough to get a thorough drying in the sun. A root or vegetable cellar answers well as a winter storing place. A good plan is to keep them in boxes or barrels. First lay in a little, dry sand, sawdust or bran, then a layer of the dahlia tubers, and then cover them with sand or sawdust. Keep add- ing plants and covering them until the boxes or barrels are full. In a dry cellar this packing of the roots will prevent shriveling. In a cellar such as will ke6p potatoes, they can be stacked on shelves quite thickly together, and will keep well if the thermometer does not go below freezing. C. W. BUGS ** BOILING" OUT. Can you tell me the name of the bugs sent under separate cover? They just boil out of the ground in one of my greenhouses. B. B. C. We do not know what the insects are which you sent. On being received here over a week after leaving Kansas they were a squirming mass of life, and we can well imagine that if they simply boil from the earth of your greenhouse they will be disagreeable, even if not harm- ful. It will be possible to apply some- thing to the floor of the house to extermi- nate them, but we would suggest that you write to the state entomologist of your state, or send samples to the Kansas Ag- ricultural College, Entomological depart- ment. They will inform you what the insects are and how to clear them out if they are of an injurious class.

Would you be kind enough to give the ammonia-copper formula for spray^ carnations for rust? I had it long ago^ but unfortunately have lost it, and this year I have rust making its appearance. G.W. The solution used for rust was made up as follows: Take one pound of sulphate of copper and dissolve it in two quarts <)f ammonia. When thoroughly dissol^iiewi, dilute this with thirty gallons of water and spray on the plants. You need not dilute it all at one time, unless you wish to use it all in one application, which is not likely unless you have a very large place. Keep it in a jug, well stoppered, and dilute as needed. Use about one-half pint to one gallon of water and shake well before using. While you may find this solution of some help in fighting rust, you will not find it necessary if you will adopt up-to- date cultural methods. We find that by keeping the plants dry overhead, except when syringing about once each week, we are troubled very little with rust. Dusting the plants with dry-slaked lime, or sul- phur and lime, or grape dust, are all good remedies. Keep the atmosphere buoyant and do not allow the plants to suffer any checks from irregular watering or irreg- ular temperature. Never have the plants standing wet over night from syringing, but if you do get caught, be sure to run some fire heat, with ventilation, and a little sulphur on the steam pipe. A. F. J. B. THRIPS ON WHITE ENCHANTRESS I am sending herewith one carnation and two buds, and I wish some expert would tell me what is the matter with them. They are White Enchantress, grown under glass and planted into the bench about May 1. The plants look healthy and the stems of these flowers were eighteen or twenty inches long. A good many of the flowers, when open, look as if they had been handled around for a week and all battered and bruised. E. M. H. The specimens forwarded were badly infested with thrips. If you will pull apart a half-open bud, you will see nu- merous little brown insects about one- sixteenth inch long and as thick as a horse-hair. These work themselves in be- tween the petals of the young buds and live on the juice sucked from the young petals. These tiny wounds grow as the petals grow, and by the time the bloom unfolds they are as large as pinheads and discolored. The white and light pink va- rieties show brown spots, while the spots on the darker colored blooms usually turn white. These spots are usually a sure sign of the presence of this most de- structive insect. This pest has been the subject of a number of inquiries this fall and in re- cent numbers of the Review — for in- stance, in the issue of October 22 — you will find recommendations for treating it. Nicotine is its most effective remedv. A. F. J.*B. SULPHUR ON STEAM PIPES. Will you kindly let me know how much sulphur it is safe to put on the steam pipes of a carnation house, 28x200 feet? This is to be used as a fungicide and also as an aid in fighting red spider. How often is it advisable to use itt C. W. C. Sulphur is one of the best fungicides known when in the hands of an experi- enced grower, but in the hands of novices it frequently does serious damage. By keeping the atmosphere lightly charged with the fumes one can usually prevent the various spot diseases from getting a hold, and no damage need be done to the plants. But, on the other hand, if it is applied too strong it will not only dull the color in all bright-colored flowers. but in extreme cases it will cause loss of foliage and even death to the plants. A safe way to use it is to mix sulphur and dry-slaked lime with water enough to make a thick paint. Paint a strip about one to two inches wide on one of the steam pipes in each house, providing the house is not more than thirty feet wide. In a wider house you will need to paint it on two pipes. Apply it about once iti a week to ten days, as it seems to be needed. Better apply it mild and fre- quently. A. F. J. B. COCKCROFT'S NEW WHITE. James D. Cockcroft challenges anyone who visits his place at Northport, L. I., to find a split calyx on Georgia, his new white carnation. There is quite a lot of it now flowering and a lot of cuttings in the sand. , No one ever undertook the dissemina- tion of a new variety with greater con- fidence than Mr. Cockcroft has in Geor- gia. Last year he sent out two, Har- vard 'and Faust, so that he knows just what it means in hard work, first to gain the attention and favorable considerafion of any considerable proportion of the growers and, second, to root a large num- ber of cuttings to supply the demand for early delivery. In the face of unfavor- able conditions last season, for all dis- seminators of new varieties felt the Gtmation Georgia. Decembbb 8, 1908. T->-rr ,-}■, '-I !. ;;. .v ■ • The Weekly Florists' Review. It €flfect of the financial upheaval, Mr. Cockcroft was satisfied with the success which attended his first efforts at send- ing out new varieties and, with the ex- perience gained, expects to do much bet- ter this year, all conditions being more favorable. Traendly & Schenck are Mr. Cockcroft 's selling agents in New York and say they think he has in Georgia the best white carnation that comes to that market, just as his Harvard is the best crimson in their estimation. Both varieties are heavily fringed. Georgia is pure white, large and full, giving it excellent form. It has a good stem and Mr. Cockcroft says it is an exception to find a split calyx even in the dark days of mid-win- ter. He says it is easy to grow, a free and continuous bloomer. He has had it for five years and for the last three sea- sons has marketed the blooms in consid- erable quantity. This year it has been exhibited at all the fall shows and has proven its traveling qualities. At the national show at Chicago it was farther from home than any other carnation exhibit, but stood up as well as those that had not come so far. Mr. Cockcroft is a progressive grower of the new school. He builds well, grows well and sells well. His latest houses are iron frame and everything on- the place is up to date. A picture of his range ap- peared in the Eeview for February 20, 1908. The place is one of the several on Long Island heated by Kroeschell boilers. LEFl'-OVER CARNATION SOIL. After filling my carnation benches this fall, I had some soil left. This was after- ward turned over, and considerable sod, which had been piled a year ago without manure, was added to it. Will that soil be good for filling the carnation benches next fall! ^r M- The soil you have left after filling your carnation benches will do well for next season, providing you will have it turned over a few times between now and the time you will use it. In the spring, when turning it, add some good cow or stable manure to it, making about one part manure to five parts soil. This soil will also be splendid for potting your young plants this winter.

AiBEET M. Heke, Sec 'y. The Indianapolis Convention. Now that the great national flower show is past, with its many pleasant memories left with us, the next impor- tant point in the cycle of floricultural events is the A. C. S, convention, to be held in Indianapolis January 27 and 28, 1909. The central location of this city should, and no doubt will, bring about a record-breaking attendance, and the ex- cellence of the stock shown at the Chi- cago show would indicate the greatest exhibition ever held by that society. No member of the A. C. S. should miss this convention, and, jtidging from the expressions by a great number who were approached on the subject at Chicago, the trade is looking forward with eager- ness to the event. I said no member of the A. C. S. should miss it, and I mean just that. I should like to see every person in attendance enrolled in this or- ganization. If you are not a member now, join when you arrive at Indian- apolis. Why not? There will be a great deal more satisfaction for you in being an active participant in the affair than in being a mere hanger-on. Try it, and you will never regret it. The local arrangements are progress- ing most satisfactorily. The exhibition hall is an ideal one, with splendid day- light and ample ventilation, both of which are so frequently lacking. There is a comfortable meeting hall in the same building, and other means of en- tertainment as well. There are plenty of first-class hotels near-by, at reason- able rates. A list of these will appear in due time. There will be the usual banquet to members on Thursday night. Tickets to this function will be distrib- uted free to all members of the A. C. S. outside of Indiana. Members residing in Indiana, and members of the S. F. A. of Indiana, will pay for their plates. Preparations are being made to en- tertain the ladies in attendance, an- nouncement of which will appear later. In fact, the local management is bend- ing every effort toward making the ar- rangements as complete in detail as it is 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Decembeb 3, 1908. possible to make them. The following are the chairmen of the various com- mittees having the matter' in charge: Chas. Knopf, ou finance; H. L. Wiegand, on entertainment; A. F. J. Baur, on ex- hibition; F.

One more Thanksgiving has passed, and the extremely warm weather made it a simple matter to ship out both cut flowers and plants. It is a little unusual to have temperatures in the fifties and sixties at that date. While Thanksgiving is not a time when any heavy plant trade is done, signs are not wanting that the tendency is toward plants in preference to flowers, for many customers who form- erly bought roses or carnations now prefer nicely flowered pots or cyclamens, Lorraine begonias or primroses, arguing truly enough that these will keep better than the cut blooms. On questioning sev- eral country florists, who do a good local trade in plants and flowers at the various holidays, one and all reported an in- creased call for blooming plants com- pared with previous years. Geraniums. Chrysanthemums being now practically done, it is possible to give a little more space to the bedding geraniums, which have been rather crowded together dur- ing the mum season. The little pots should be spread out a little, any dead leaves removed, weeds pulled out and the surface soil loosened if it has become baked. It is better to keep the plants on the dry side for some weeks yet, af- fording just sufficient water to keep the foliage fresh. Cuttings in flats will re- quire looking over, and any which have damped off should be removed. Be sure to keep these and, in fact, all geraniums in a sunny, airy house and as near the glass as possible. In syringing the houses, try to keep the water off the geranium foliage, especially in dark weather. Gittleya Trianae. Cattleya Trianae, the most valuable of all commercial cattleyas, by reason of its flowering at the dullest season of the year, is now coming into bloom and will continue to furnish flowers for three months or more. It is a pity that this fine variety cannot be induced to produce as many flowers per sheath as C. labiata, but it is a fact that big, plump bulbs,, which a grower will expect to give three, four or five flowers, will often yield only a solitary bloom. This is especially true if the plants have been grown a con- siderable distance from the glass. When grown near the light, the bulbs will al- ways flower better. "While in flower, Trianses, in common with other cattleyas, should be kept moderately dry at the root and be stood at the cooler end of the house. The drier the atmosphere, the less likelihood will there be of the flow- ers spotting. There is always a splen- did sale for this orchid and it is not surprising that many florists, who a few years ago classed orchids as outside their sphere, are now handling batches and finding them a useful and profitable side line. English Primroses. English primroses meet with a good sale in the markets each seapon. They are easily grown, either from seed or root division, and give quantities of flowers in late winter or early spring. When blooms alone are wanted, the best plan is to grow in benches in a violet temperature. For later picking, a batch can be grown in a coldframe, where they will render a good account of them- selves in March and April. As pot plants there is a good market for these prim- roses. The pots or pans should not exceed six inches in diameter. These will hold one good clump each. They will do better if they have been potted for some time and kept in the open until they have had sufficient frost to stop leaf growth. If a few of these plants are now placed in a temperature of 40 to 45 degrees at night, they will be found useful late in January. They can be sold cheaply and never need any fussing over. They will not tolerate any forcing, however, at any time. Chinese Primroses. A number of the earliest Chinese prim- roses will have been sold for Thanks- giving. This will enable you to give the remainder a little more room. Much of the beauty of the primroses is lost if the lower foliage is gone, and to keep this in good condition the plants must not be crowded. To do them full justice, the leaves of each plant should stand clear of those on its fellows. Try to keep the foliage a dark green color. If they appear somewhat pale, try the effects of weak doses of cow manure water, to which some soot has been added. Look over your stock, and if any are shaky at the neck give them a support; otherwise they are liable to snap off while being handled. Primula obconica will take more liquid food than P. Sinen- sis. It sells well at Christmas and, while its poisonous properties frighten some florists from handling it, there is nothing more useful for window boxes and help- ing to make up mixed hampers than this easily grown primula. A night tempera- ture of 48 to 50 degrees is ample for primulas. For the obconica section a fumigation once a week is necessary. Lilacs. Lilacs are not forced to any consider- able extent by country florists, but there are some who find uses for both plant» in flower and the cut blooms. The im- ported pot-grown stock of these is now to hand. If the balls are at all dry, soak them and plant outdoors or in a cold- frame until wanted for forcing. It will hardly pay to attempt to get any of these in for Christmas. They sell better later in the season, when they can be produced with some foliage. If flower only is wanted, a warm, dark cellar adjacent to the heating plant will bring them along fast, if they are damped over once or twice a day and the atmosphere is kept moist. As the flowers begin to open, they should be moved into a warm house where the sim's rays cannot strike them, placing in cooler quarters when expand- ed. For pot plants, it is better to start in full light in brisk heat, as the plants will then have satisfactory foliage. <• Schizanthus. The earliest batch of S. Wisetonensis is now coming into flower and should prove a useful addition to our Christmas flow- ering plants. If the plants were staked some time ago they will need no special attention, except to be kept in a cool, light house and supplied with an abun- dance of water, liquid manure being add- ed every fourth day. Late batches of this schiaanthus can be pricked off and potted along before becoming matted in the flats or pots. There is still ample time to make one or two additional sow- ings. Seed put in now will flower for Easter. Protecting Evergreens. The broad-leaved evergreens, of which rhododendrons are the most important, will need some winter protection dur- ing December. The beds containiag these should receive a heavy mulching of leaves, if this has not already been done. These will keep the frost away from the roots and keep moisture in, something quite ilecessary with these evergreens. The greatest injury is done to rhododen- drons when we have long spells of severe cold without any thaws. If the plants can aet an abundant water supply, it ma- terially aids in carrying them saiely through the late winter months, when drying winds, frosty nights and hot sun- shine during the day do great damage to unprotected plants. In the case of hardy varieties established for a num- ber of years, protection is less nec- essary than with more recently planted stock. A heavy covering is positively harmful. What is needed is a light pro- tection of pine or spruce boughs, suffi- cient to keep the sun from the foliage. Windbreaks, in the form of fences tied with evergreen boughs, are also useful where the wind gets a full sweep on the plants. Protecting Bulbs and Perennials. Bulb beds should not be protected until the ground is well frozen. It is a mis- take to put on a heavy covering. Two or three inches of leaves or meadow hay is preferable to a foot of the same ma- terial. All perennials, more especially fall planted ones, are better mulched with coarse manure, straw, meadow hay or leaves, held in position with light branches of any kind. The loss from freezing and thawing is heavy during a mild winter where no mulch is applied. In every case, a light covering is pref- erable to a heavy one, except it may be in the case of a few somewhat tender subjects, where the protection may be of sufficient weight to exclude frost. f'^r^'j^''- ;.'4ff ,',:\' »- '.Jiv ;.ji" ■'. ;y ^yJ.^T,y-7^v;^^. , •. ;- December 3, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review* 13 WEBER AND FIELD. Weber and Field are a famous pair in farcical comedy, but this Weber is Fred, the widely known Beauty grower, and the Field he was talking about one Satur- day afternoon at E. C. Amling's is the Mrs. Field rose. "You just bet it's a dandy for sum- mer, ' ' said Weber, and everyone listened and nodded in agreement. It's the habit of a good many grow- ers for the Chicago market to run into town on Saturday afternoons — take a look around and talk things over with each other and with their commission men — so it's quite the regular thing to find three or four or half a dozen at Amling's on a Saturday afternoon. In such a company Fred Weber always is listened to respectfully. He isn't the most talka- tive man in the bunch — but who is a better grower? He has four big houses of Beauties — and such Beauties — always fetching a price a shade above thp mar- ket. And who grows better teas than Weber used to grow before he confined himself to Beauties? So what Weber says goes. ""About that Field," said Weber, ^'I've watched it ever since Eeinberg first had it. At the start they didn't know how to handle it, but after awhile they got next, and you bet they had it fine last summer — have it fine yet, for that matter. It 's a summer rose, all right, but perhaps it's a winter rose, too, only it did so well in summer they never tried to do much with it in winter. This season they have a fine lot of it han- dled just for winter bloom. "Money-maker, you say? Well, the Alderman certainly made money on it last summer. Get your plants into their second summer and a good crop fixes it 80 you don 't need to care anything about anything from those houses in winter. Summer business is getting better every year. I'm thinking of building a couple of houses . for Field and Kaiserin for summer. ' ' Fred Weber doesn't believe in grafted roses. "Give me own root teas, handled right, and the other fellow is welcome to his grafted plants. He may beat me out a little up to December, but from Christmas on I'll get the ground shoots and make the money." THE LEAVES TURN YELLOW. Enclosed you will find a sample of rose leaves, which, as you will see, are af- fected with a fungus on the back or under side, which causes the leaves to turn yellow and drop off. What is the trouble and the remedy? We have ap- plied the Bordeaux mixture, but it has not had time to work yet. The four leaves enclosed are at the different stages. M. F. C. These leaves were very dry and shriv- eled when they reached me, but they showed signs of being affected with some kind of fungus, in all probability mil- dew. This, however, is not the cause of the leaves turning yellow and dropping off. The usual cause of this trouble is a sudden fall of temperature while the soil in the benches is saturated with moisture. For mildew, use the sulphur mixture on the pipes and also dust the foliage once a week. Keep the benches rather dry and keep on ample ventilation, with a night temperature of 56 to 58 degrees and a day temperature of 65 to 85 de- grees, according to sunshine. Kibes. MILDEW ON ROSES. I herewith send you a few rose leaves which are affected with some sort of disease. Please let me know what it is and what to do for it. The bushes are all in fine condition and are ready to give a good crop of flowers. P. J. K. These plants are affected with mildew. The foliage indicates that the house should have more ventilation, both night and day. Diist the leaves with flowers of sulphur and paint the pipes with the following mixture, at least once a week: Flowers of sulphur, two parts; air-slaked lime, one part; mix to the consistency of paint. Kibes. OUTDOOR ROSES. Hybrid perpetual roses have long been great favorites of both the amateur and the private, professional gardener, and there need be but little fear that the popularity of this splendid class of roses will show any marked decline in the near future. The class of roses known as hybrid teas have during the last few years been receiving a great deal more attention than formerly, and that, no doubt, chiefly because their usefulness has become better known and their merits more appreciated. While they are in bloom, hybrid per- petual roses are simply glorious and un- surpassed in beauty, but the short time during which the greater number of them remain in bloom only intensified the de- sire to have roses of some kind in bloom late in the season. Hence the increas- ing demand for hybrid tea roses. Some people consider there is much more trouble experienced with this class of roses, in their protection during winter, than there is with hybrid perpetuals, al- though, as a matter of fact, there is but little more labor required in the protec- tion of one than the other. All kinds of roses should, whenever it is possible, be planted in widely sep- arated rows, in order to make both their cultivation and winter protection com- paratively easy. When hybrid teas, or, for that matter, any kind of roses, are thus planted, the simplest way of pro- tecting them from the effects of alter- nate freezing and thawing is to draw the soil up around the plants, so that ridges are formed. In the spring there will be no trouble in freeing the,jjf^lants of soil when it becomes necessary to prune. When the plants are planted zigzag in beds, there is a little more trouble ex- perienced in covering them with soil, as well as in uncovering them. Some growers still lift all or most of their hybrid tea roses and keep them in coldframes, or otherwise under cover, for the winter, and there are others who cover hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas alike with coarse stable manure or leaves, or both. Hybrid tea roses are admirably adapt- ed for private places, where it means a great deal to be able to cut a number of good roses outdoors up to the time when snow flies. M.

The florists and gardeners of La Crosse and vicinity held a meeting November 24 and organized the La Crosse Florists' and Gardeners' Association, the object to be mutual helpfulness and the advance- ment of the interests of the profession. Officers were elected as follows: Presi- dent, J. S. Medary, who is president of Oak Grove cemetery; vice-president, C. E. Schaefer, president of the La Crosse Flo- ral Co.; treasurer, Paul Zoelner, of Oak Grove cemetery; secretary, W. R. Filers, of the La Crosse Floral Co. Meetings will be held at the Hotel Stoddard the second Tuesday of each month. The florists of La Crosse held their first annual flower show in the Masonic Temple hall last week. The display of flowers and plants was large and the quality excellent, the show being a great success and sure to be repeated in suc- ceeding years. TOLEDO, OHIO. At the meeting of the Toledo Flo- rists' Club on Wednesday evening, No- vember 18, there was a good exhibit of flowers. Prizes were awarded to Krue- ger Bros. Co. and E. A. Kuhnke for car- nations, to Halbish and E. A. Kuhnke for chrysanthemums, and to Krueger Bros. Co. and the state hospital for roses. The club decided to give a show dur- ing the last week of February or the first week of March, for the benefit of Toledo hospital. ^ '..i-rT^. ,-■;.»< 14 The Weekly Florists* Review. t)£CI}MBBB 3, 1008. NEW YORK. The Market Thanksgiving trade was disappointing, not larger than an ordinary good Satur- day. There was no great increase in the price" of anything, and the accumti- lations were great when the day ended. Never has the pickling been more in- excusable. Boses especially were subject- ed to the process. Plenty of grand stock came in from the growers who never send old flowers, even when the holiday temptation is great, and the good stock brought satisfactory returns. But of the stale stuff, the less said the better; there was no sale whatever for it and a total loss in most cases resulted. The market was in a depressed condi- tion, after the digestion of the -Xjtajifks- giving problems, and the new week opei with clouded skies, warmer weather Mai even lower prices than have maifl^aine^ All stock is abundant. Roses and nations especially feel the effect. Vio- lets are down to the old figures again; 75 cents was the extreme top Saturday and Monday, and this figure was reached by few. Thousands were cleared out last week, all the way down to $2.50 ner thousand. A good many still feel the sting of the recent flurry. k It is difficult to realize Christmas** but three weeks away. An average tem- perature of 60 degrees is hardly in keep- ing with December. Fldschman in Bankruptcy. Joseph Fleischman and the interests with which his name is principally asso- ciated are in bankruptcy. It was the Fleischman Baths that pre- cipitated the trouble. A petition in bank- ruptcy was filed against this concern Sat- urday, November 28. It was alleged, as is usual in such cases, that the corpora- tion is insolvent and has made preferen- tial payments, one of those cited being $400 to the Julius Roehrs Co. for plants for the luxurious establishment. Joseph Fleischman, president of the company, consented to the receivership. Attorneys for creditors said the action was pre- liminary to reorganization to continue the business. It is stated that the liabilities are $160,000, of which $100,000 is se- cured by mortgage, $30,000 is on open account and $30,000 on notes. The as- sets consist of the bath establishment, which represents a cost, with rents and charges, of $350,000. The corporation was organized under New York laws Sep- tember 11, 1907, with capital stock of $250,000. The officers of the corpora- tion, it is said, were Joseph Fleischman, president and treasurer; John B. Stanch- field, vice-president, and Charles T. Lark, secretary. The baths were opened Febru- ary 6, 1908. A judgment was entered against the corporation November 25 for $3,568 in favor of Dennis G. Brussel. Following the petition in bankruptcy filed against the Fleischman Baths, peti- tions in bankruptcy were filed Monday, November 30, against the Fleischman Floral Co., at Broadway and Twenty-fifth street, and Joseph Fleischman, individ- ually, who was president of both com- panies, by James Schell & Elkus for sev- eral creditors, and Judge Hough ap- pointed Robert C. Morris receiver of the assets in both cases. The creditors who joined in the petition against the Fleisch- man Floral Co. are James R. Johnston, $40; Donald H. Elder, $220, and A. J. Guttman, $500. It was alleged that the company is insolvent, and made preferen- tial payments. The bond of the receiver was fixed at $2,500 and he was author- ized to continue business for twenty days. It was stated that the liabilities are $20,- 000, largely owing to wholesale florists, and assets $10,000, together with the lease of the store, the value of which is unknown. Deputy Sheriff Murray re- ceived an execution November 28 against the company for $523 in favor of A. D. Barr & Co. The business was started in 1885 by Joseph Fleischman, who incor- porated the company December 30, 1901, with capital stock of $300,000. In good times, it is said, the company made con- siderable money, but for the last year business has been affected by the general depression. The company has had from $15,000 to $35,000 outstanding accounts on the books, it is said, according to the season of the year. The company for^ Btorly had a branch at 515 Fifth avenue, corner Forty-third street, which was given up some months ago, and another branch at 71 Broadway, which it sold a few weeks ago. > The petition in bankruptcy against Jo- seph Fleischman individually was filed by these creditors: John I. Raynor, $2,700; Benj. Honig, $165, and Chas. W. Part- ridge, $100, all on notes which are past due for money loaned. It was alleged that he is insolvent, and made preferen- tial payments to the Empire Electric Sign Company of $50; C. C. Beckman, $50, and the North River Beef Co., $185. The bond of the receiver was fixed at $500. It was stated that the liabilities are $10,000. James N. Rosenberg, of James Schell & Elkus, said that the assets are problematical, consisting of some equities in real estate. He is al^o a cred- itor of both the Fleischman Baths and the Fleischman Floral Co. In order to straighten out the affairs of those two companies and his individual affairs it was necessary to have the bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. Fleischman, it is said, was originally a street peddler of flowers, went into business in 1885 and built up one of the largest places in the city. Besides the flower business, he was also interested in real estate and leaseholds. He formerly owned the apartment hotel property at 12 to 16 East Thirty-first street, known as the Hotel Le Marquis, which he transferred in April last to the National Center Realty Co., subject to a mortgage of $400,000. The hotel busi- ness was formerly carried on by the Bel- gravia Hotel Co., of which Mr. Fleisch- man was president up to October 1 last, when the Belgravia Hotel Co. surrendered the lease. Judge Seabury, of the Su- preme Court, November 30 appointed John J. Murphy receiver for the Belgra- via Hotel Co. on a judgment for $56 ob- tained by Annie Cardani two weeks ago. The sheriff has received executions against Joseph Fleischman in favor of A. B. Barr & Co., $2,273 ; Chas. A. Cowen & Co., $1,021, and Barten Realty Co., $803. Various Notes. The Rhinebeck Violet Growers' Mutual Benefit Association, which was announced in this column two weeks ago, elect- ed A. C. Toof president, J. C. Milroy vice-president, L. Van Vredenburgh treasurer, and E. V. Marquardt secretary. The officials anticipate a membership of 150. The best Beauties touched 50 cents November 26. John Young was fortu- nate in cutting over 1,500 long stems from his big 701-foot house at Bedford. Good carnations are now abundant, and prices are slowly advancing. F. R. Pier- son, whose immense output of Winsor and his other good varieties is handled by Jos. Millang, says he has no fault to find with the average price obtained. His four houses, each 55x300, are doing a land-office business now, and the cut promises to be enormous for Christmas. James McManus is preparing for a larger holiday orchid demand than usual. Callas, hyacinths and cypripediums are among the new arrivals, and the late mums are fine and abundant. There will be a goodly supply of these up to Christmas. Monday, December 14, the Florists^ Club holds its last session for the year. Christmas is already giving preliminary signals. Bouquet green is arriving. Christmas trees will flood the wharves- and West street before another week has passed, ifolly sold well for Thanks- giving, and advance orders are larger than usual. Stumpp & Walter say they will ship over 1,000 cases. The quality will be Above the average. A few day* of clear, cold weather will awaken the Christmas spirit. If one may judge by the official rec- ords of imports, the seedsmen antici- pate a great year. Among those whoi received large consignments during the week wf re, H. F. Darrow, the Yokohama Nursery Co., J. M. Thorburn & Co., Au- gust Bolker & Sons, F. R. Pierson, Mc- Hutchison & Co., William Elliott & Sons,. A. T. Boddington, H. H. Berger & Co.,. Anton Schultheis and the Stumpp & Wal- ter Co. W. E. Marshall & Co., on West Twenty- third street, have added another store to- their quarters and will now have a wide front, with two large show windows and much more room and conveni^ce for their growing trade. A. E. Wheeler, of this firm, is away duck shooting this week in hisiyawl on Great South Bay. Mr.' Sullivan, of the Cut Flower Co.,. has r^overed from a severe attack of the grippe. A sure sign of Christmas is the an- nouncement by Superintendent Jackson^ of /the Cut Flower Exchange, of the anual raffle of two twenty-pound turkeys December 22. Saturday, December 5, there will be a special meeting of the directors of the Cut Flower Exchange in the Coogan building. Sigmund Geller has some new wreath* for the holidays that are selling well,, made of natural prepared holly leaves and berries, his own invention. He says trade is excellent and the force is al- ready working nights and Sundays. Nearly all the supply houses report the same optimistic outlook for Christmas. Two Brooklyn retail florists have just speeded their bookkeepers on matri- mony's sea. Robert G. Wilson decorated for Miss Lillian D. Broadbent, of his staff, now Mrs. Samuel Reilly, a pretty home wedding, with the usual palm, munu and rose accompaniments. Miss Antoin- ette Shelly has been in charge of the office of J. V. Phillips for ten years. When she became Mrs. Hill the wedding- was handsomely cared for by Mr. Phil- lips. Miss Phillips becomes bookkeeper for her father. W. A. Phillips is secretary of the Brooklyn Retail Florists' Association, of which Robert G. Wilson is president. The first annual dinner and theater party of the society takes place December 10. The Fulton theater has been chosen, and the dinner will be served at one of the leading Brooklyn hotels. Mr. Phillips '^'"■'';.' : V- - 'r -^ December 3, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 15 Bays the society is a success. He is also secretary of the Greater New York Flo- rists' Association, which has now, he says, thirty-two active members. J, V. Phillips had the big Talbot-Lor- backer wedding decoration last week, at Glen Ridge, N. J. Bobbink & Atkins are still shipping nursery stock. Such a favorable plant- ing season has never been known in the east, not a shadow of a frost up to date. Anton Schultheifl' big area of glass, new and old, is now complete, and the stock of Christmas blooming plants will be an eye-opener to the early buyers. Already the holiday stock is being select- ed and tagged for early shipments. Out- of-town retailers are coming daily. Samuel A. Woodrow is shipping heavily to his New England customers and has a big Christmas stock of palms, ferns and the flowering output of Lehnig & Winnefeld. J. J. Fellouris is well pleased with prospects. His new store, at 52 West Twenty-eighth street, has been freshly decorated. Schumacher & Kessler are handling a large stock of plants, palms and ferns at 113 West Thirtieth street, from Jer- sey and liong Island growers," And are fast building up a trade. Poinsettias are in the market in plant and flower — another harbinger of Christmas. J. Austin Shaw. OBITUARY. N« Studer. N. Studer died at his home in Wash- ington, D. C, November 23, at the age of 70 years. He was bom in Fraubrun- nen, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. Mr. Studer was one of the pi«neer florists of Washington. He started in the business in 1874. In 1876 1^ built what were known then as the Centennial Hothouses, which were the largest put up at that time. He used 8x10 glass and it was predicted that the hail would break much of it. He was at one time the foremost florist of the nation's capital. He had stores at various times, but for the last four years he only had the stand in the Center market. He was still grow- ing his own stock up to the time of his death. He was unmarried. Before en- gaging in the flower business he was an attorney, having studied law abroad. Louis E. Marquisee. Sickness, due to an accident he met with more than a year ago, caused the death of Louis E. Marquisee at 11 o 'clock on the night of November 24, at his residence, 622 West Onondaga street, Syracuse, N. Y. On election night, one year ago, Mr. Marquisee was injured at the Salina street bridge over the Erie canal. He was riding his bicycle across the bridge when it started up and he fell off the end of the bridge to the pavement, a distance of four feet. Since the accident Mr. Marquisee had failed gradually, until a month ago, when he became seriously ill. After a few days he rallied and was able to be out occasionally. Two weeks before his death he had a partial stroke of paralysis, which affected his right side and speech. Heart disease de- veloped and proved fatal. Born at Utica, N. Y., Mr. Marquise* lived in that city until 1869, when he removed to Syracuse and became a mem- Louis E. Marquisee. ber of the firm of Marquisee Bros. & Co., proprietors of a cloak, millinery and fancy goods store. In 1888, after a rest from his previous business, Mr. Marquisee engaged in flower growing as a more healthful occupation. In 1869 he mar- ried Miss Josephine Eaton, who with one daughter, Miss Anita Marquisee, sur- vives. Mr. Marquisee was widely known and universally respected; indeed, the esteem in which he was held deserves some spe- cial word — he was beloved especially by the children, for all of whom he had the greatest fondness. The funeral was largely attended and there was a wealth of floral tributes. The one from his green- house employees was a magnificent blan- ket of the new carnation. Marchioness. Mr. Marquisee was widely known in the trade lor his work with the carna- tion, and for several years he was one of the leading spirits in the work of the American Carnation Society. His first introduction was Marquis, light pink, sent out in 1900 and a notable thing in that day. He planned to distribute Empire State in 1904 and so good a white did it seem that he is said to have had on file orders for 50,000, when in 1903 it developed weaknesses that caused him to sacrifice all the profit in sight and throw the variety on the dump. It 90 enhanced his reputation that when Flamingo was ready to go out, a season or two later, the trade took all that could be propagated, and even then the demand was not satisfied. Albatross and Sun- bird, the latter yellow, were less widely distributed. Each of his varieties, com- ing at the beginning of the improve- ment of the carnation, marked a step toward the present-day development of the flower. Mr. Marquisee was at the poii.1 of sending out another new sort. Mar- chioness, which will be distributed this year by the estate. The business will be carried on by Mrs. Marquisee, under the management of Harry and James Bellamy, who have been with Mr. Mar- quisee almost from the beginning. William J. Beatty. WiUiam J. Beatty, one of the best known gardeners and nurserymen of western Pennsylvania, died November 24, at Pittsburg. He was 82 years of age. Mr. Beatty was born in Belfast, Ire- land, and came to this country at the age of 24, settling on the Northside, Pittsburg. He retired from active work twenty years ago. Mr. Beatty was a life- long member of the Fifth United Pres- byterian church, and was active in church and religious work. In addition to his wife, Mrs. Sarah Beatty, he is survived by ten children, thirty-nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. John Archer. John Archer died at his home in Gro- ton. Conn., November 26, of Bright 's dis- ease. Mr. Archer was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1855. He worked for the Shady Hill Nursery Co., of Boston, for about nine years. He also had charge of Mrs. Emery's place in Milton, Mass., for a long time, and he held a similar posi- tion, for a while, on George Draper's place, at Hopedale, Mass. The last five years he had been working on the Morton F. Plant estate, at Groton, Conn., where he had charge of the construction work, planting, grading, etc. He was a member of Union Lodge No. 31, F. & A. M.; also of Donald McLeod Lodge of Scot- tish Clans, Hyde Park, Mass. He was buried from his home Sunday, Novem- ber 29, with full Masonic honors, Mrs. J. J. Waaland. The wife of J. J. Waaland, the well- known florist at Findlay, O., died Decem- ber 1, She was 44 years of age and had suffered with cancer for a year. Pre- vious to her illness she had assisted her husband in the business. ■ •■■'■■:■;■" >'^ /.■■./; •, w-y;:'"' C.'Jsf ;■.■ ■ V'tJ :*'^^'-^'r>?^ 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 3, 1908^ THE FLORISTS' REVIEW G.

THANKSGIVING TRADE. There is much variety in the reports of Thanksgiving flower business, but in nearly every instance it is commented upon that the unseasonably warm weather was a disturbing factor, and that with seasonable weather the trade would un- doubtedly have been much larger than it ever was before for Thanksgivi, Take it all in all, the business was satis- factory. At wholesale there was some dissatisfaction because of oversupplies and low prices, but the volume of busi- ness at retail was good in most western cities and in the east decidedly better than a year ago. Retailers who grow their own stock had abundant supplies, and those who buy their material in the open market found no cause for com- plaint, except at the softness of stock, due to the unseasonable weather. Evferyone now is looking forward to a first-class, old-fashioned Christmas. COURSE IN FLORICULTURE. During the last few years there has been an increasing demand for educa- tional advantages along all lines of agri- culture and horticulture. This demand has been felt keenly at the Massachu- setts Agricultural College and this year a short course will be offered for the first time by the department of floriculture. That no holiday season may break into the course, lectures will begin January 5, ending March 10, before the Easter rush begins. This course is outlined with the immon 2.00 Select, lar are and fancy.

Following Thanksgiving there came a couple of dull days, during which the surplus from Thanksgiving either was cleaned up at midsummer job lot prices or lost altogether. Saturday, however, found the market in much better shape and the hope of returning prosperity was revived. Wholesalers were busy, however, pleading lack of responsibility for the poor shipping quality of the stock sent out at Thanksgiving. Not in a long time has there been so much complaint. The long season of unprecedentedly warm, ■damp weather made everything soft. 1.50 large case, 5.00 per.case, 3.00 POEHLMANN* EXTRA FINE S FANCY VALLEY) *• "•J:, ""^''S'JJ'*- uitnmcMi ■ ■■ I BTc r^M supply tliBUi all the year.

Randall Co., has been away for the last few days, rounding up some stray orders for Christ- mas supplies. It is reported that the Chicago Amer- ican League Baseball Club has its eye on the Kidwell property adjoining the south side ball park. The Kidwell lease expires shortly and the baseball people are reported to be after the land for an addition to their facilities. Bassett & Washburn state that they expect to have no diflRculty in selling all the O. P. Bassett carnations they can cut at 20 cents and 15 cents wholesale for Christmas. Wietor Bros, say they will not finish cutting chrysanthemums until along in January this year. Last season they cut the last for Christmas. H. 0. Blewitt, at Des Plaines, had three houses of mums this year. As fast as the mums go out sweet peas will go in, all except the space required for stock. The Florists' Club has issued invita- tions for a ladies' night Thursday, De- cember 3, at the Union restaurant at 7 p. m. Nominations for next year will be in order. C. M. Dickinson, at E. H. Hunt's, says the practice of skimping in a package of heretofore recognized standard measure- ment is becoming a great abuse of the supply trade. He says it has become so that a cheap price is a cause for sus- picion that the quantity is reduced in at least as great proportion as the price. Peter Bisch is the recognized author- ity on real estate values in Evanston. Percy Jones says even the mums show the bad effects of the soft weather. George Beinberg is one of the few growers for this market who have Kate Moulton rose in quantity. He says it's a winner for him. George Walther has greatly increased the attractiveness, as well as the conveni- ence, of his place by erecting a show house, 23x42, which extends west from his store and fronts on Sixty-third street. With this added space, he now has a frontage of sixty feet on Sixty- third street and forty feet on Eggleston avenue and has ample opportunity for the display of his stock. His residence and greenhouses are located on Lowe ave- nue. His sister. Miss Louise Walther, gives him expert assistance in designing and decorating. Scheiden & Schoos have a big lot of cuttings of President Taft carnation in the sand. Phil Schupp says the J. A. Budlong establishment is beginning to come into crop again. Peter Beinberg hopes to duplicate his last year's Beauty crop, especially as there is an impression that Beauties will be scarce for Christmas. F. F. Benthey says Killarney sold well for Thanksgiving when Bride and Maid were hard to move at cheap prices. Kruchten & Co. are receiving long Maid and Bride. The four Poehlman brothers, John, Au- gust, Adolph and Gustavo, with their families, were at Milwaukee Thanksgiv- ing day to attend the weddidg of their sister.

Thanksgiving day in New Orleans is far from being observed as well as in the north, and the call for flowers is quite limited, compared with that in other localities. Still, every year seems to bring some change, and this year's busi- ness has been quite good. The private gar- dens are still full of chrysanthemums, and, as long as the present warm weather continues, the florists cannot expect much business. F. Baker is plowing up his chrysanthe- mum ground to make room for his annu- als, of which he will have thousands. M. M. L. DETROIT. The Market There is every indication of a good Christmas business this year, at least as far as Detroit is concerned. Thanksgiv- ing business seems to have far exceeded last year. Some florists report double last year's amount of general Thanks- giving business. The demand was for assortments of cut flowers, rather than for any one flower. Beauties are moving slowly. Violets were not in as much de- mand for Thanksgiving wear, but were sold in large quantities just previously. In fact, violet business has been very sat- isfactory here. Chrysanthemums are fast becoming a thing of the past. Some good stock is still to be had, but the demand has ceased and naturally the prices have come down a notch. Good white are in demand for funeral work. With the going of the mums, trouble will again commence in making up work, as carnations are almost too expensive for use as a background. Various Notes. F. J. Eosser, of 270 Maybury avenue, recently purchased a piece of land on the corner of Maybury ajid Linden avenues. As soon as the winter's frost is out of the ground his intentions are to erect a small store and adjoining greenhouse, with the hope of building up the retail end of the business. This comer is just a few doors from his present place. At the recent exhibition of the club, Albert Pochelon, of the Bemb Floral Co., was the only retailer to make an exhibit. In fact, to Mr. Pochelon is due much of the credit for the success of these little shows, as he is one of the most energetic workers. His display consisted of several arrangements made up with the curly cabbage, Savoy. Attached to the display was a card bearing the wording, ' ' With the kind permission of Mr. Smith, of Cleveland." Whether the idea of these arrangements originated in Cleve- land or not, Mr. Pochelon 's work was nicely executed. Norman Sullivan has also taken to curly cabbage. In his window this week can be seen a number of these pieces, well done. One in particular, representing the broad hats that are so popular just at present, attracts much attention from the ladies. Breitmeyer's had the decorations for the ball poudre at Strassburg's hall last week. H. S. Maryville, Mo. — Alfred Engelmann says Thanksgiving trade was entirely satisfactory. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Thanksgiving trade this year was not as good as in former years. Some of our leading stores say it was as good a^ last year, but from general report it appears that it was not as good as last year, on the whole. There was plenty of stock at all the wholesale houses ; in fact, a great deal of it was left unsold Thurs- day morning. The stock that came in was only fair in quality and a lot of it showed that the consignor kept it long in order to get better prices for the big day, but as more stock came in than the demand called for this pickled stock was dumped. There was a great quantity of carna- tions. The fancy all started in at $5 per hundred, but soon dropped to $4 and $3. There were quite a few California violets that sold at $1 per hundred. Beauties and other roses were abundant, but owing to the flooded condition of the market the prices dropped to the every-day price. Chrysanthemums sold well, but did not bring the prices the wholesalers hoped for. Only the extra fancy Eaton and Golden Wedding brought $3 per dozen. Paper Whites are in the market this week. Lily of the valley is down to $2 per hundred. Callas and Harrisii are coming in plentifully. A few large weddings for this week should help trade. Various Notes. Messrs.

The date will be left open for the members to decide at the meet- ing next week. Henry Emunds called November 28, and reported a good Thanksgiving trade in Belleville. Mr. Emunds is cutting a fine lot of chrysanthemum blooms, in- cluding extra fine Golden Wedding, Ostertag Bros, furnished all the flow- ers for the St. Louis Star Thanksgiv- ing, which were sent to the hospitals. Several hundred boxes were used. A. S. Halstead, Belleville, was elected vice-president of the Illinois Horticul- tural Society at its meeting last week- week. W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, took sev- eral prizes at the chicken show last week. Jules Burdett, on Vandeventer avenue, has a big lot of extra fine cyclamen and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine for the holi- day trade. He has been supplying the local trade with fancy ferns in variety, Andy Hoffman, George Waldbart's right-hand man, says that Thanksgiving business was fully fifty per cent bet- ter than last year. They are shovnng some extra fancy blooms in Eaton, Morel and Wedding, which retail at $9 per dozen. The St. Louis Horticultural Society, through its committee, F. C. Weber, Jr., and Theo. Miller, is this week soliciting flowers from the florists for the Jewish charity fair, to be held at the Coliseum. The flower booth there will be one of its features. G. Reising, representing L. Baumann & Co., Chicago, called on the trade last week. The Florists' Bowling Club started its flrst series of bowling for prizes Mon- day night, November 30. One Monday night in the month will be ladies' night. Henry Ostertag and Arthur Ellison are new members. The club has now twenty members. President Connon says they will be represented at the bowling in Cincinnati next August, during the S. A. F. meeting. C. A. Kuehn, Carl Beyer and J. J. Beneke are not as yet members of the new club, having signed with other teams early in the season, but will be on hand later. The members of the Florists' Club should not forget the last meeting of the club this year, which will take place Thursday afternoon, December 10, at 2 o'clock, in the old meeting hall, 1023 Locust street. President Young says that Chairman Henry Ostertag has a surprise in store for the members who attend this meeting. D. Augspurger, of D. TJ. Augspurger & Sons, Peoria, HI., spent Thanksgiving week in St. Louis. J. J. B. Waltham, Mass. — The flower store and greenhouses at 100 Chestnut street are now under the management of K. W.

Niessen's News Column Beauties are in good supply with us in all; grades, especially the medium sizes, which are most desirable with many of the buyers.

All through the month of December will have a large supply of them and you run no risk of being disappointed. Price is a matter regulated by the con- dition of the market, but you can- not get better value in any other line than Beauties.

The Rising Eastern Market There has been great activity in the cut flower market. Thanksgiving was scarcely over before the Army and Navy football game filled the city with vis- itors, and caused much entertaining and consequent demand for many flowers. It is said that Franklin Field looked like a great garden of violets, orchids and gardenias. Be this as it may, there were many of these dainty flowers worn on Saturday, and the market was buoyant. The exceedingly warm weather that ushered in the present week {iccelerated production to an extent that forbade any advance in prices. Choice roses were in active demand at good prices, with the poorer grades dull and irregular. Carna- tions have sold better than for some time past, fancies of one or two popular varie- ties being especially favored. Violets are more plentiful, with indications that the shortage of the last fortnight will not be repeated during December. Sweet peas of the winter flowering varieties are becoming more plentiful; some select stock is bringing more than last week's quotations. Cattleyas are now at high water mark, with indications of an in- crease in supply and probably lower prices during December. Cypripediums are plentiful. Gardenias are fairly scarce and much in demand. Bunches of asparagus continue to sell better than any of the other greens. The Thanksgiving business in cut flow- ers was satisfactory. Choice yellow and pink chrysanthemums realized from $3 to $4 a dozen, with white a trifle lower. In fact, white were in some quarters too plentiful, and it required the floral offer- ings for the funeral of the father of Is- rael W. Durham, a noted political leader, to carry off the surplus. Violets con- tinued scarce and erratic, the prices on both singles and doubles ranging over an unusually wide stretch of figures. Be- yond these two principal items in Thanks- giving business, only a few general com- ments are necessary. There seemed to be an especially active demand for the CTiIke choicer' flowers, gardenias, orchids and valley, and in some cases the excellent value given in carnations caused heavy buying. While the chrysanthemum season is nearly over, there are a few varieties still in the market. Mme. J. Bosette, pink; Golden Dome, yellow, and Jeanne Nonin, white, will probably be obtainable for ten days. Qub Meeting. 5ii&lea Henry Fox delivered an ad- dress, before the Florists' Club December 1." His remarks were much enjoyed, the paper being received with hearty ap- plause. The attendance was large, the session being followed by a smoker. / Waban Rose Conservatories, Natick, Mass., sent a handsome exhibit of long- stemmed White Killarney. J. A. Peter- son, Cincinnati, sent his new begonia. President Taft. Riverton. Nearly every florist who visits the Dreer nurseries at Riverton goes there to see one or the other of the galaxy of floral lights that have aided in making the place. Some go to see George A. Strohlein, some to see James C. Clark, some to see Harry C. Sims, some to see other floral experts, but not one of them has more or warmer friends than J. D. Eisele. The reasons are plain. Mr. Eisele was identified with the place from the early days of its history; all of his great ability has been given to building up the place ever since, and, as a grow- er once voiced the general sentiment, "Eisele is a nice fellow." So you see a representative of the most progressive paper considered himself fortunate in finding Mr. Eisele when he visited River- ton. Mr. Clark was there, too, adding much to the pleasure of the visit. Nephrolepis Scholzeli was the first topic. A fern that wins the unqualified approval of two such capable judges as Mr. Eisele and Mr. Clark is good indeed. Their judgment is based on the fact that N. Scholzeli appears to be identical with N. Scottii crested, and that its foliage, while ample, is not dense enough to de- Decumbkb 3, 1908. The Weekly Florists* Review; !23 QUALITY P.=M.

Various Notes. Thomas H. Meade, the genial repre- sentative of Scblegel & Fottler Co., and well known to the local trade, has the sympathy of many friends in the loss of his wife, which occurred November 25. Mrs. Meade was interred Novem- ber 28. Henry R. Comley, for twenty-three years with C. P. Grimmer, on West street, opened a thoroughly up-to-date flower store at 6 Park street, December 1. Mr. Comley is well known and highly respect- ed in the trade and should do a good business at his new stand. The employees of A. Leuthy & Co., of Roslindale, journeyed in a body to Mr. Leuthy 's home, on Perkins street, November 24 and presented him with a superb eight-day clock. The recipient was surprised but delighted, and grace- fully voiced his thanks for the gift. after which all hands spent a pleasant evening. Thomas Clark, late of the firm of Houghton & Clark, will open a store on his own account, on Boylston street, dur- ing' the present week. The first poinsettias of the season arrived at the Park Street market No- vember 24 from F. J. Dolansky, being handled by Thomas Pegler. Welch Bros, state that Thanksgiving trade compared favorably with that of a year ago. In mums they had best call for Eaton, Enguehard and Bonnaflfon. Among roses they had a fine lot of Mrs. Jardine and My Maryland. Carnations were too abundant, cattleyas and gar- denias scarce, also violets. But for the warm weather they think they would have had a decided advance in trade. Andrew O'Leary, formerly with Zinn, of Boston, and now with J. H. Small & Sons, New York, spent Thanksgiving here with his parents. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club's landscape classes resumed last week and are well attended. Interest in the elec- tion of ofQcers at the club meeting De- cember 15, increases and a record at- tendance seems probable on that occasion.

The bean situation in most cases shows ^ough stock in sight to meet the de- mands, but not in any overabundance in any case. Last year's prices will be about right for the coming year's retail catalogues, judging from the prices in the books already out. The business so long conducted at Santa Clara, Cal., by J. M. Kimberlin & Co. is now being carried on by C. E. Kimberlin and L. M. Kimberlin, under the name of the Kimberlin Seed Co. Reports have it that there is no short- age of the newer varieties of muskmelon seed. Such varieties as Burrell '■ Gem, Hoodoo and others of the salmon fleshed novelties seem more plentiful than the old-fashioned, standard sorts. The California seed growers are east- ward bound. L. W. Wheeler, of Braslan Seed Growers' Co., Santa Clara, was at Chicago December 2 and L. C. Routzahn, of Arroyo Grande, was reported at Phila- delphia accompanied by Mrs. Routzahn. Others are en route. Thebe seems to be some indecision in the minds of seedsmen and others who have what is called set onion seed, as to the actual value of this commodity and how much of a price they can get for it. In some cases reports have it that seed is being offered at less than cost. The varieties of onion seed that are sown for a market crop seem to be more plentiful than usual, but the varieties that are sown for sets are scarcer than for some years past; this refers to de- pendable stock, of course, for there seems to be quite a lot of mongrel seed in evi- dence. Onion sets are reported to be keeping well. There is little movement of this article at present. Fall shipments are over with and it will be well into Jan- uary before tte stock needed for regular planting at the south moves out. It is expected that when the stock reserved for this purpose moves and is disposed of finally by being planted, there will be a sharp advance in the price and that then the supposed shortage will make itself felt.

The Wisconsin canners and packers meet in Milwaukee this week. Seedsmen are usually on band at these canners' meetings. The first general seed catalogue for 1909 to reach the Eeview is that of D. Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa., the one hundred-twenty-flfth annual issue. The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, last year got out a first edition of 175,000 catalogues, but subsequent editions and an emergency catalogue ran the total number of books distributed up to 305,- 000. This year they are starting with 200,000 as a first edition of the complete book and 100,000 of a condensed edition. One hundred pounds sterling was the prize oflFered by Messrs. Sogers & Co., a progressive firm of seed merchants, at Leamington, England, for the best onion of the Leamington Giant variety, intro- duced by the firm. No fewer than 1,700 onions were placed before the judge and the prize was awarded to a shapely, well finished bulb which weighed three pounds, grown by A. K. Searle, gardener, Castle Ashby Gardens, Northampton. In addi- tion, sixty prizes were awarded to other bulbs of excellent culture. It is thought that the coming year's prices for contract pro rata orders for peas will be quite a bit higher than those of last year. Many causes for this are given. One is that the farmer will want more per bushel to grow them. High value of the seed that has to be reserved for planting is another cause for the ad- vance, and many other things enter into the business of producing peas for future orders. The grower, unless he can get enough to make the risks worth while, feels he would be as well oflf out of it. SURE, ANYONE CAN. E. J. Deal calls attention to the fol- lowing paragraphs in the 1908 novelty list of W. W. Johnson & Son, Boston, England : "We have frequently heard it said, 'Anyone can grow seeds,' and we are in- clined to agree with the statement. We have known cases where the cobbler has .left his. last, the carpenter his bench, and the painter his pots in order to dabble in seed growing.

So long ■as this condition of things lasts the re- tailer need not fear to obtain his supplies from houses which have been built up on these principles; houses which are known to spend big sums of money every year in improving existing varieties and se- lecting new ones, either by cross-breeding or otherwise." Mr. Deal's firm, as usual, has a long list of novelties this year. BERMUDA ONION SEED. The Review has received from one of the principal exporters the following statement as to the outlook for the Ten- •eriflFe-grown Bermuda onion seeds for 1909: It will interest all seedsmen and deal- «rs in seeds to know that the future crop, as regards quantity, is from the outset against an abundant year. All the onions warehoused in the last month of July, for planting in September and October ultimo, hftve suffered con- siderably and it is estimated on all sides that from 40 per cent to 50 per cent turned out quite rotten or unfit for rais- ing -seeds with them. This means that the production of seeds in July, 1909, ■will be curtailed to the same extent. Apart from this, there are always the MaHnBDHnHQiiaHDHaanHnHnBnHDHnDBaQMnMDHDHaHnHDDMnMaMaHaa a - c n ■ □ ■ n H D ■ □ ■ ■ a ■ n H D H n H D H a H n ■ n H □ ■ ■ ■ D ■ D H D ■ D H □ H n H a u u u n u n u □ □ M □ H D H Hardy Roses and Ramblers VOR fOBCING The right time to buy Roses is when they are fresh and well-ripened. Roses potted up in the Fall or late Winter become better established and force better, and are far more satisfactory in every way, and you can retard or force at your leisure.

It would not be surprising if Teneriffe exporters could not deliver the quanti- ties required by American buyers, and those who have not already contracted for certain quantities at stated prices may find that they will have to pay higher prices for any stock not engaged. Outside growers are fast disappearing and the trade is carried now on better grounds, so that American buyers will not have any more complaints. In fact, this business is taking a different* aspect, more satisfactory to the principal Ten- eriffe exporters and to everybody con- cerned in the United States. The stocks are also being improved more and more every year. The weather is much against us. Not one drop of rain has fallen yet (Novem- ber 11), and if the rainy season sets in all of a sudden after the warm weather we are experiencing, the lands would be too much soaked and the onions would suffer accordingly.

CYANIDE FOR GREEN FLY. We are in trouble and want some help. We have a greenhouse, 50x100 feet, in which we grow lettuce and geraniums. The side walls are only about one foot high, so there are between 35,000 and 40,- 000 cubic feet of air space. The green louse is destroying our lettuce. We have used cyanide of potash according to your instructions in the Review of October 24, 1907, using it the first time Novem- ber 7 with eight jars, then November 9, 16 and 21 with nine jars, and again No- vember 25 with twelve jars, but the lice are just as plentiful as they ever were. If we can not get help in a few days the whole crop will be ruined. If we can not save the crop, please, tell us how to rid the house of the pest. They seem to multiply faster than the multiplication table. S- C. I think you did not secure the right kind of cyanide. The kind most druggists keep in stock is not what you require for fumigating. There are several different grades for different purposes. The kind needed for greenhouse use is cyanide of potassium (98 per cent), granular. If your druggist does not have this grade in stock, let him send for it and take no Other. The granular is powdered and de- composes much quicker and is more satis- factory than the common lumpy kind, and grades of a lower per cent are not what you want at all. I think you have made an error in figuring the cubic feet to fumigate. The average height of your .greenhouse is found by taking the height of the gutter or eave plate from the ground, and to this adding one-half the height from this gutter level to the peak. This average height multiplied by the width and then by the length of the house gives the cubic contents. Getting the average height is where most growers make their errors in using cyanide. I think that the number of jars you used first was a great plenty if the house is dry and comparatively tight and the right kind of cyanide is used. In using cyanide for fumigating it is important that the plants be dry to pro- tect them, instead of wetting as is com- mon practice in using tobacco products. The acid and water should be mixed about thirty minutes to an hour before wanted for fumigating; if cooled off too much it is too slow and if just prepared it is almost boiling hot and too quick, A BED or MUSHROOMS Raised from our Spawn, will bear lonK«r and jrleld better than from any otber variety of Spawn.

Mention The Review when you write. dissolving the cyanide almost instantly. Green fly is not a hard insect to get rid of and may be exterminated by using tobacco stems or any of the prepared nic- otine fumigating products advertised in the Review. It is far better to use any fumigating material too weak and in- crease until the right amount is found to kill the insects without injury to the plants, rather than to make it too strong at first and ruin a crop. H^ G. INSECTS IN MUSHROOM HOUSE. I have a mushroom house 30x50 and ten feet high. I am having a great deal of trouble with insects, to such an extent as to make the present crop a failure. What is the best and surest destroyer, and the quantity needed for my house? Under separate cover I send a glass tube containing some of the insects. Please name them. S. S. The insects sent are very common enemies of the mushroom and are hard to eradicate. We have found that a poison, such as Paris green, mixed with bran and laid where they have free ac- cess to it, will destroy them in consid- erable number. Traps made from pota- toes may also be employed. Cut the potatoes in half, hollow out part of the inside and lay them .with the flat side down, in such a position that the insects can crawl under. Look the traps over every morning and destroy the insects found, and they will soon be reduced in number to an appreciable extent. In the summer time, when you are not using your house to grow mush- rooms in, a good deal could be done in the way of cleaning the insects out by giving the walls a good washing with THE cost of labor saved ' in six monttis will buy and install a Skinner Sys- tem of Greenhouse Irri- gation.

Neff, who was adjudged bankrupt last April and subsequently surrendered his property according to the requirements of the law, has now presented his formal peti- tion for discharge, and a notice to that effect has been sent to his creditors. De- cember 7 has been fixed as the date for consideration of the petition. SoMERS WORTH, N. H. — A fire at the greenhouses of G. S. Ramsburg, Novem- ber 11, wiped out a large and valuable stock of plants, on which his winter's business depended. He figures the loss of business at between $6,000 and $7,000. The three greenhouses were partly con- sumed, and his barn, containing hay and greenhouse supplies, was totally de- stroyed. The insurance on the burned buildings was only $2,000, the remainder of his insurance being on his house,^ which was undamaged.

Main Street, LOS ^NGELES, CAL Mention The Review when you write. PACIFIC COAST. CoLViLLE, Wash. — H. -C. Smiti* has built a large . greenhouse ou his home property, a mile east of town. This is the first enterprise of, this kind started in Colville. On account of his advancing years, H. E. Middlekauff has retired from the management of the San Fernando Nurs- ery Co., of San Fernando, Cal., and W. J. Mann, the secretary of the company, has also assumed the duties of manager. Fruitvale, Cal. — Four boys, all pu- pils of the Dewey school, were arrested November 13 for stealing flowers from the greenhouses of Fukusumi Bros., on East Fourteenth ^t^^t, near Tevis street. It was stated that ^he school boys had been bothering the/e florists for some time by breaking on pickets at the rear of the greenhouses removing glass from the houses and srealing carnations and other flowers. SAN FRANC3SCO. ThefAukeL The few days of rain have been fol- lowed by colder weather, with frosty nights and warm days. Consequently flowers are not quite so plentiful as they were a week ago. Violets are much scarcer and the price has been advanced 25 cents a dozen bunches by the growers. Mums are also showing the effects of the last season and the continued cold weather, and the number sent into town has been greatly reduced, as well as the quality of the flowers themselves. The price of the best outside stock has ad- vanced fully 100 per cent within the last three days. Carnations continue -plentiful enough, with a slight advance in price. The best fancy stock costs the retailers about $4 per hundred -and from that price down to about $2 per hundred. Roses are scarce. There was but a short supply for Thanks- giving and, taken as a whole, they were of rather poor quality throughout. But little fancy stock was seen and, had it not been for a few crops of Maids, there would have been a poor showing. Valley is more plentiful now than it has been at any time for the last month and, from indications, there will be no shortage of it for some time to come. Maidenhair fern is well toward the end of, its natural growing season and the retailers are complaining that they are having difficulty in getting enough to use with cut flowers, but the wild variety will soon make its appearance and will help considerably..

We are growing it in large quantities in our Scarborough greenhouses, and will 1^ glad to have anyone interested in it visit us and see it growing. The large growers, instantly recognizing its value, have placed orders for large quantities, so that our advance orders are very large, and the demand promises to be very heavy, judging by the number of orders already booked; but we have enough stock, either potted or rooted, to fill advance orders, so that we can still promise early delivery and first-class stock on all orders received now.

Bomberger, Harlan, la., says that the crab-apple used in that locality for top-working apples on is not the common Virginia crab, but a western form in Iowa nurseries that is a fine, strong grower. It starts in nursery rows with a short piece of seedling root grafted on scions, and it will root from scions like willow, almost be on own roots, and independent of the seedling root if grafted right and handled right. Mr. Bomberger says this crab root is fine to stand severe western climatic con- ditions and is a success up to St. Paul and north. In Iowa Jonathan, York Im- perial, "Winesap, Ben Davis, Gano and Grimes all do well on it. The exceeding vigor of growth and roots seems to help the tops of the apple to develop better fruit. The stronger growing power of the roots gets more and better use of the soil food for trees. In the winter Mr. Bomberger cuts bud sticks from healthy bearing trees of the kinds of apples he wants to top-work, and puts the sticks in a buried box of moist leaves, to remain until May 15, and then buds the tops of the crab trees and cuts back to buds. This he finds easier than grafting and its attendant HILL'S TREES GROW! Everything CVFRfiRFFII^ ^°^ '^^^ purposes.

Knopf A grann variety; comes into bloom early and remains steady the balance of the season. One of the best varletips that has ever been introduced, and bound to surpass the grand old variety. Enchantrf ss, from which it is a seedling. D«Bortptlon:— The flower is .4^ 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 stlffer. it keeps and 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 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 50 to 62.

Trade last week was gooei. The weath- er was changeable the first part of the week, but on Thanksgiving day the ther- mometer registered 60 degrees outside, and the sun was shining brightly all day. The business done was satisfactory in every way. There were thousands of out-of-town people here to see the foot- ball games. Quantities of mums are sold here for the ball games every year at good prices. Roses are plentiful, with the excep- tion of Richmond. Several of the florists will discard this variety and put Rhea Beid in its place next year. Carnations are producing abundantly. The quality and demand are both good. Some lily of the valley and lilies are coming in and are mostJy used in funeral work. Green goods Sre in good demand. Violets are rather scarce yet. Varioui Notes. The Hillenmeyer boys were in town and called on J. F. Keller at the green- houses. Miss Fannie White, of Anderson & White, says business is good with them. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fister have the good wishes and congratulations of many friends for their little son, who was born Friday, November 20, at their home on the Maysville road. It is reported that Mr. Tiplady, the gardener at Elmendorf Farm, on the Maysville road, grows the best carna- tions in this section. William Gerlock, the carnation grower for Honaker, has been sending some good stuff to the downtown store. Lucien Leclere was busy last week cleaning up the lawns at the I. & O. park, and now has the place in tiptop shape. J. A. Keller has planted, in the court- house yard and other places, several thousand bulbs. A recent visit to his greenhouses found everything in good shape. The roses and carnations are pro- ducing abundantly, and a nice house of violets was noted. J. Ferdinand Keller, the manager of the greenhouses, deserves much credit for such a neat place and good stuff. Blue Grass.

Decbubeb 3, 1908. DENVER. ' The Market The trade in general was somewhat better last week. The improvement was due, undoubtedly, to Thanksgiving day and a number of social functions. Thanksgiving business was good, all re- tailers doing well, as there was plenty of stock of all kinds. Carnations, per- haps, were the most abundant. The quality of stock was mostly first-class and the prices were not high, carnations re- tailing for 50 cents, 75 cents and $1 per dozen. Chrysanthemums were plentiful and sold well. The prices were not advanced, the medium priced ones being the most called for. The demand for big speci- men flowers was less than usual, the mod- erate sized ones having the call. It can- not be said that any of the powers got rich this season growing mams, as there were large numbers grown and priaes ruled low. Plants sold well; that is, the medium sized ones, ranging from 50 cents to $2 per pot. American Beauties were in better de- mand, and the supply was good in all grades. The medium-stemmed ones sold better than any others. Other roses, such as Brides, Maids, Bichmonds and Chatenays, were in good supply and sold fairly well, the quality being first-class. There are plenty of good carnations in the market, with prices about the same. Enchantress, "White Perfection, Victory and Lawson are good sellers. Violets are selling better. There is no great quantity of first-class ones coming in. There was probably more call for them for the football game than there wps for chrysanthemums. Various Notes. J. A.

There was an unusually heavy demand for Beauties. Mums still hang on. Violets are not over- plentiful. Various Notes. The Gude Bros. Co. is cutting some extra fine Jeanne Nonin, which wholesale at $25 per hundred, and some good White Jones bring $12.50 per hundred. The farmers are bringing in holly and, from the first seen, it looks as if it will be good this year. It has fine color and is well berried. The Washington Florists' Co. has a golden ealla labeled Mrs. Koosevelt on exhibition in the .window. All the stores showed the usual Thanks- giving windows, with pumpkins, fruit, vegetables and corn stalks. George Cooke reports an unusually busy dinner week. The last meeting of the club was held December 1, at the Eagles' hall, Sixth and E streets, N.W. Fred Wolf, formerly with the Wash- ington Florists' Co., and James Smith, from Paterson, N.

Mention The Review when you write. CLEVELAP«ID. The Market. Reports on Thanksgiving business vary greatly. Some of the retailers claim that trade was better than a year ago, but others say it was the poorest they ever had. At any rate, all were not satisfied. There were quantities of cut flowers of any kind, and about the only article to clean up was mums. Carnations that were the finest ever seen here on Thanks- giving day went at prices far below ex- pectation. In fact, one might say that prices remained as they had been, with practically no advance in any line except violets, which sold well. Roses were a drug, there being hardly any demand for any kind except Richmonds and Beauties. Lilies, valley, narcissi and all other kinds of stock suffered in the slump. The warm weather preceding Thanks- giving put held-back stock in a condition fit for nothing but the street faker, who was in his glory, with fine weather and loads of stock. Variota Notes. C. A, Bramley, of Superior avenue, re- ports good trade at both stores for Thanksgiving, The showing at the new store was especially gratifying. Knoble Bros, report Thanksgiving trade as better than a year ago. The de- mand :^or good mums at their place was exceptional. Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, had quan- tities of fine mums, and reports Thanks- giving trade as good — better than last year. The; J. M. Gasser Co. reports better Thanksgiving trade in its retail store than in the wholesale department. The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. had a finer lot of mums than ever for Thanks- giving, and sold Jerome Jones and Pres. Graham by the thousands. B. WiNSTED, Conn. — Mrs. W. L.

The Market We had every reason to predict that the Thanksgiving business this year would be the best we had ever known, but a couple of days of almost summer weather changed all this. Thousands of roses were on hand that had seen better days, and carnations were not much better. The salvation of the business was the fact that there were plenty of fresh mums. These sold out clean at prices which were satisfactory. But there were plenty of salted mums that had to be sold at job lot prices if sold at all. The market was stocked with thousands of fine lilies, but there was no demand for them. As can be seen from the above, great quantities of stock had been salted in anticipation of a large demand. We looked for good business and were not disappointed. But there are two sides to the story. There is the growers' side. Business was certainly bad for the grow- ers. The retailers, on the other hand, were able to pick up enough really good stock to take care of their trade, and the general report from them is that business was fine. The wholesaler, being between the two, has both sidfes of the story impressed upon him. Business since Thanksgiving has been quiet. Mums are selling out clean and at good prices. Violets also are in good demand. Eoses sell slowly. Carnations do a little better. With colder weather in view, we can expect satisfactory busi- ness from now till the holidays. Various Notes. J. Chas. McCullough has moved his oflBices and cleaning department from Sec- ond and Walnut streets to Fifth and Lock streets and Eggleston avenue, where he occupies an immense seven-story building which has been remodeled for his use. The building is located on the railroad and this makes the shipping facilities of the best. Miss Tillie Garges has been on the sick list, but is much improved and will soon be about the same as ever.

"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.

Illustrated !«iok. 2.'iinment Thanksgiving week was a profitable one for the florists here, notwithstanding the bad weather preceding, and on the day itself — coldi dark and rainy. The people did not get out in such numbers as they would if the weather had been more agreeable, and there was a consequent falling off in sales. Stock was plentiful, except in carnations, which showed a little shortage. Violets are coming in more plentifully, and roses are good everywhere. James Souden went awgy above his last year's sales, and pronounces himself well satisfied with the first holiday of the reason. R. A. Latham had his usual good busi- ness, and sold a large quantity of chry- santhemums. The Minneapolis Floraf fco. Bold out all its stock Thanksgiving eve, not having enough to fill late orders. This firm has a good crop of mums coming in be- fore Christmas. Otto Will has left for Caldwell, Kan., to be away from the city for some time. Rumor has it that Mr. Will has suc- cumbed to the charms of a southern lass, and that he will not return alone. Cupid was ever a sly fox, and at last our genial, tall brother is caught in the toils, and, judging from his exuberance of spirits of late, he is a very willing cap- tive. Congratulations and the best wishes of the trade are with him. Visitors: W. A. Hastings, representing A. H. Hews & Co., of Cambridge, Mass. M. E. M.

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. THE USE CM' 2-INCH PIPE. We have two houses, 14x50 and 20x100, which we wish to heat with hot iirater, maintaining a temperature of 56 de- grees. In this part of Texas the out- side temperature is seldom lower than 15 degrees above zero, but it has gone as low as zero. We have a small boiler, with 2-inch connections, which we think sufiScient to heat both houses. We also have a lot of 2-inch pipe which we wish to use. Can the 2-inch size be usedf W. C. H. There is no reason why the 2 -inch pipe should not be used. In fact, I prefer it for hot water to smaller sizes. The ob- jection to it is that it is a little harder to install than l^^-ipch or 1^4 -inch pipe. L. C. C. SCARCELY ENOUGH RADIATION.

What is the accepted rule for comput- ing the number of lineal feet of pipe and feet of radiation to a given glass areaf Practical constructors have a rule for estimating the necessary number of running feet of J ^ -inch pipe, with other sizes, in relation to the glass exposure. Please make this problem plain. SUBSCBIBEB. After careful tests under varying con- ditions, engineers have decided upon cer- tain constants as representing the safe piping for houses. These constants vary for different boiler temperatures and for the normal temperature desired in the house. To illustrate: To maintain a temperature of 70 degrees in a house with hot water, when the boiler tem- perature is 160 degrees, will require one square foot of radiation for every 3.2 square feet of exposure. If the water is 180 degrees, then one square foot of radiation will carry four feet; at 200 degrees, 4.5 feet. If 1%-inch pipe is used, it requires 2.301 lineal feet of pipe to make one square foot of radiation. Now, given a house 20x100, with 3,360 square feet of exposure: To heat this I house to 70 degrees, with water at 180 degrees, will require as many square feet Decembeb 3, 1908.

To heat this house with I'^-inch pipe will require 2.301 times 840, or 1,932 lineal feet of 1%-inch pipe. But it is not economical to use a 114-incli pipe &s a flow pipe, and we must use a larger one. We find that a 3-inch pipe is capable of carrying 900 square feet of radiation. This will then be ample for the plant requiring 840 square feet. We also find that 16O lineal feet of 3-inch pipe is equivalent to 91.6 square feet of radiation; so, instead of using 1,932 lineal feet of 1^-inch pipe, we require 840 less 91.6, or 748.4 square feet of radiation in 1^-inch pipe, or 748 times 2.301, or 1,721 lineal feet of 1^4- inch pipe in returns and 100 lipeal feet of 3-inch pipe for a riser, to maintain a temperature of 70 degrees in a house 20x100 in severe weather, in the latitude of Chicago. So you see it is n9t'«^im- ple, empirical problem, to be figiilbd by rule of thumb. L. C. C. NOT AN EXPERT PLUMBER. I have just completed a new house, 21x100 feet, but am having trouble with my heating plant. I could get no skilled plumber, so I suppose that is where the trouble Ues. I have a Wilks hot water heater, with two 3-inch taps, and from one of these taps two 2-inch feeding pipes are tafcen, each connecting with four 1%-inch pipes, running under the benches. From the other 3-inch boiler tap a 2-inch feeding pipe runs, and is similarly connected to four l^^-inch pipes under a third bench. The pipes under each bench are connect- ed at each end. The four pipes are all on the same level and have a rise of about eighteen inches from the boiler to the opposite end of the greenhouse. The plumber's theory seemed to be that of a single-pipe system, with the hot water running up and returning in the same pipe. Ife does not work at all. The hot water runs up one pipe and then re- turns in the other three. The circulation is very slow and I can get no results in heat. Another trouble is that the hot water seems to run from the 2-inch feeder back through the 2-inch return without running up through the radiat- ing pipes, forming a sort of short cir- cuit. The expansion tank is connected to one of the 2-inch return, pipes near the boiler. One florist has suggested to me the following plan: Run two 3-inch pipes from the boiler taps, about five feet straight up above the boiler; then run these two 3-inch pipes through the green- house to the opposite end on a gradual downward slant, and, on reaching the other end, tap the 3-inch pipes and drop down to the return pipes under the benches. These returns also would run on a downward slant. Would this plan work! If so, how should the expansion tank be connected? I am afraid the twelve 1^-inch re- turn pipes will not make suflBcient radiat- ing surface.

Thanksgiving day, with the thermome- ter in the seventies nearly all the week and dandelions in bloom outdoors, did not seem exactly the right thing. As sdme- one expressed it, "It felt like selling Thanksgiving flowers on Decoration day." But, just the same, trade was away beyond the expectations of any- one and the general report was that the volume of business was greater than last year. There were some peculiarities about the business, however, that are hard to explain. Carnations, which are usually one of the most important flowers for this time of the year, were not in demand. Beauties were another of the flowers that did not go well at fancy prices, and there was some cutting in prices before they began to move. Chry- santhemums, which the growers had de- clared all the season would not last until Thanksgiving, were here in quantities, and these, with roses and violets, were most in demand. There were plenty, how- ever, for all, and then some, but, taking it as a whole, there was just cause for thanksgiving among the trade. While it is true that the volume of business was greater than ever before, stock never sold cheaper for a holiday, but the com- mission men were all satisfied. The retailers, almost without exception, were more than pleased with their trade and felt greatly encouraged in looking forward toward Christmas. They all attest, however, that fancy prices were out of the question, but they were able to buy stock at such prices as would enable them to sell at reasonable prices to their trade, and this made possible the volume of business which they report. In their opinion, the effect of this will be better for business the balance of the season and help the Christmas trade. There were more sales at $1.50 to $3 than ever before, the high priced stock suffering most. Various Notes. J. B. Murdoch & Co. were strong on fine chrysanthemums. The McCallum Co. went through its first holiday and reports sales as very satisfactory. The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange had a fine lot of Beauties and carnations. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. was right in it with Beauties, Richmonds, violets and an unlimited supply of chry- santhemums and lilies. James Moore and Arthur Langhans made a trip last week across the "hot sands" with the Shrinera. Mrs. E. A. Williams furnished the decorations for the reception given by the Scottish Rites at the Exposition music hall, one of the largest affairs of the season. H. C.

Some of our tradesmen report an increase in their sales, while others report a slight decrease. But, taking it on the whole, it was nothing to boast of. Orders for table decorations were not as numerous as last season, and in most cases the people did their own decorating, if not with flowers.* It was evident, however, that the "big bird" was present and all that accompanies it; in this respect our florists all report a big day. We feel that florists have no great reason to com- plain of their individual business, as al- most all lines of trade report dull times. The crops were heavy, much heavier than last year, due to the bright, warm weather which has prevailed for several months. Therefore, as far as the supply of stock was concerned, our tradesmen could have withstood a heavy demand. These conditions also affected the prices, and but little, if any, could be made. Stock of every kind is exceptionally fine, both in color and size, and only a limited Dbcember 3, 1908. The Weekly Rorists' Review* 73 EMERGENCY PIPE GUMPS To repair eplitfl and rust holes on pipe.

Con- sequently the ash barrel is not slighted to any great degree. ^ Chrysanthemums were, for somej)| l)\ir florists, the best selling flower. Carna- tions and roses, red especially, did al- most as well, while callas, valley, narcissi and longiflorums came in for funeral de- signing. Trade throughout the month was the cause of a great deal of complaining. Some days would be busy ones, but others very quiet. So, on the whole, we have no glowing report to give of November business in Dayton, although we are of the opinion that it was about as good as last year. Varioxss Notes^ The Dayton Florists' Club will hold its regular monthly meeting December 7, at the establishment of J. F. Young, on East Fifth street. At this meeting the subject of a banquet for the January meeting will be discussed. Edward B. Weston, vice-president of the Miami Floral Co., has received a per- sonal invitation from Br^ident Roose- velt to accompany him on his hunting trip to Africa next spring. Owing to business relations, Mr. Weston has been obliged to decline the invitation. The Dayton Floral Co. has a large dec- oration for December (5, at the Victoria theater, where the Elks will hold their memorial services. H. H. Ritter reports that he is cutting some fine stock from his greenhouses, lie states that Thanksgiving trade this year was not as good with him as it was last year, but says that December has started in finely for him, as he already has deco- rating orders booked for every day in this coming week. Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs reports that business in her secti sizes, selling at from 50 cents to $3 a dozen, partially causing the decline in price of other cut flowers. Valley and sweet peas sold well. Friday being shipping day, the market was well cleaned up by Saturday night. Business has been fine since. On the whole, it can safely be said that mums so far sold for 25 cents to 40 cents less than last season. Various Notes. Nie Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, was fortunate to be right in on Victory and Beacon carnations for the Thanksgiving trade. Holton & Hunkel Co. reports that laat Tuesday was a banner day for them in the shipping trade. C. C. PoUworth Co., in speaking of the stock for last week, says that for once there was no pickled stock. This firm has just received a carload of Christ- mas holly, to be used for far distant shipments and local window trimming. The football game November 26, be- tween Notre Dame, of Indiana, and the local Marquette team, caused a rushing business in yellow mums. In the prettily decorated parlors of the Republican House, on Thanksgiving afternoon at 5, the marriage of Miss Bertha Poehlmann, of Milwaukee, and August Hoppe, of New York, took place. August Poehlmann, of Morton Grove, was best man. He, together with his broth- ers, Adolph, John and Gustavo, came up from Chicago for the occasion. E. O.

Last week saw everybody very busy, all branches of the trade being taxed, at times, to the utmost. The leaders in the market were American Beauty roses and carnations, all grades of these flowers be- ing in great demand. There seemed to be enough business, however, to use up about everything salable at prices from twenty-five to thirty per cent over those of the week previous. For Thanksgiving, chrysanthemums made their last splurge and are now almost entirely cut out. A few of the late varieties, such as Nonin, Frick and Jones, are seen. Dorothy Faust is seen in its perfection now and should be grown by everyone as a late variety. Carnations are fast getting into the swim and prices are on the up grade. Mignonette is beginning to corne in and finds ready sale. Boses are in fine form and are in better demand than has been the case so far this fall. Swainsona is seen in large quantities this year.

LOUISIANA RED CYPRESS ''The Wood that Won't Rot" Described by Basselt St Washburn, Chicago, III. "Replying to your favor requesting onr experience with Pecky Cypreaa, we will say, we have been using; this grade of Cypress in our Greenhouses and plant benches for the last ten or twelve years and so far have not found anv of this wood that has all rotted out. We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found tnat 2-inch stock only lasted about four years, while so far we have had no Pecky Cypress rot out in ten or tiwelve yeais. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactonr. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose. BASSETT & WASHBURN."

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 17 i THE RETAIL FLORIST.... CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS. Good Stock Required. Christmas is one of the two most im- portant days of the year with the retail florists. Easter is the only other date on the floral calendar which can compare with December 25 in the volume of busi- ness it brings to the florist. But there is one marked difference between Christ- mas and Easter. For the latter event purchases are nearly always for the cus- tomer's own use, while at Christmas the purchases are almost invariably intended as gifts. The result is that Christmas calls for only the best class of stock and the sales average of larger value. A per- son who will spend $1 for a plant for his own use will invest $2 when the pur- chase is intended as a gift. And he will wax exceeding wroth if you send out poor stock on his order. Last Christmas a Record-breaker. It is worth while remembering that Christmas of 1907 was a record-breaker for florists. A fortnight before the holi- day the majority of florists were on the anxious seat. The financial stringency of the last year was then at its height and there was widespread fear that the holi- day business would fail to cleaA out the stocks provided. This fe^r was realized in certain lines of mercha^ndise, but the florists seem to have profited by the gen- eral business depression ; the man who had been accustomed to buying expen- sive jewelry, furs and other articles of large value, contented himself last year with buying flowers. To a man who usually spent $200 for his wife's Christ- mas present, the most expensive article in the flower store looked cheap by com- parison. The result was that florists almost everywhere did a splendid business for Christmas, far better than they had ex- pected, and in most cases ahead of the best previous records. Practically every- thing presented in an attractive form was cleaned out at good prices. The same spirit of economy that was credited with last year's good business has become a habit through a year's practice, and retail florists anticipate that this year will bring a volume of busi- ness at least equal to that of last season. In many lines of merchandise Christmas preparations are not on as liberal a scale as last year, but florists are nearly all making a greater preparation than they^ did a year ago. Included in the plans for the Christmas trade of most retailers is a little judicious advertising. It pays to tell the people what satisfactory holi- day gifts may be found in the flower store. Good Cut Stock Always Sells. The experience of recent years has shown that there never is a surplus of cut flowers for Christmas. This, of course, refers to the good stock. Christ- mas calls for the best. No buyer will send a gift of poor quality, and no re- tailer will sell flowers that are not up to the standard. Growers gradually are finding out that of all suicidal practices, that of storing up flowers for Christmas is the most foolish. They gradually are discovering that pickled flowers cannot be sold at any price. The result is that the Christmas supply is not multiplied as was the case when pickling was the fashion. Consequently the cut flowers offered at Christmas are of better aver- age quality each year and therefore com- mand a better price. Christmas buyers will pay what is asked for good flowers attractively put up and delivered in style. No old shoe- box does for the Christmas violets. Advantages of Plant Arrangements. Nowadays practically every retailer makes a feature of plant arrangements for the holiday trade. Aside from the fact that he is sure he can sell all his good cut stock, plants have a number of advantages. In the first place, they afford a pleasing variety, but it is no small consideration that they can be worked up earlier than the cut flowers. Cut stock can only be put up an hour or two before delivery, while plant arrange- ments will not suffer greatly if made up a day or two in advance. Many retailers make it a practice to fill their stores with sample arrangements, either selling the samples or making up duplicates as or- ders are taken. By this method the pres- sure at delivery time is greatly lightened. Another feature of the plant arrange- ment is that if by any chance business does not turn out to be all that is ex- pected, the stock is not a loss. Neither baskets nor ribbons spoil. Blooming plants nearly- always sell well between Christmas and New Year's, when cut stock is likely to be scarce. Also, the bloom on a good many plants may be cut and worked up in funeral designs and realize a good price. Two Low Priced Plant Arrangements that were Good Sellers Last Christmas. 18 The Weekly Horists' Rrview. Decbmbbb 10, 1008. Buy Supplies in Variety. The leading supply houses have done a great deal to add to the variety of the retail florists' holiday stock. There is an infinite variety in baskets, ribbons, pot covers and the thousand and one novelties now offered. It pays to buy a considerable number of styles, rather than to buy a good many of a few de- signs. Occasionally it turns out that one basket or jardiniere may sell much bet- ter than anything else, but when these are gone the buyers will be none the wiser if shown something else, and more general satisfaction will be given if not too many purchasers are sold the same thing. If several of your customers send gifts to the same person and each one chooses the same receptacle you are like- ly to hear of it a few days after Christ- mas. Arrangements of Moderate Price. In the average flower store the Christ- mas plant arrangements should be mod- erate in price. Possibly $5 will prove the popular price in the average first- class store. Anything above that will be sold in smaller numbers, and arrange- ments much cheaper do not pay if the store is located in a large city, where delivery expenses at a time like this are an important item. It is, of course, necessary to have a variety of arrangements which can be sold at $2.50 to $3 and these may be easily provided by the use of cyclamens, primulas and other stock of that charac- ter. In one or the accompanying illustra- tions two baskets are shown. The one on the left was intended to sell at $5. It contained two cyclamens and a couple of poinsettias, with several Asparagus plu- mosus from small pots and a plant of the Whitmani fern. The handle was wrapped with pale green chiffon and on each side there was a large red bow of slightly wider ribbon than the one around the basket. The basket on the right in the same picture sold at only $3.75. It was filled with primroses and adiantum and with the addition of a little chiffon in light green it made a tasteful thing and a good seller. These were shown in a lead- ing Chicago store last Christmas and sev- eral hundreds were sold. Ferns in Dishes. A good many buyers will pick out ar- rangements of ferns and small palms be- cause they will last longer than arrange- ments of blooming stock. Four good sellers are shown in one of the accom- panying illustrations. On the left is a square birch bark fern dish. A cocos is in the center, with some small Bostons and cyrtomiums. There is a good profit in this at $2.50. In the center is a Rus- sian brass receptacle with a Whitmani fern. Nothing else was needed for this and it looked to be well worth the $5 asked. On the left was a fernery of light green pottery. The filling was A Christmas Plant Arrangement. cocos, Whitmani fern and small ferns from 2^^ -inch pots. This sold for $3.75 and it would have given a good profit at considerably less in a store where the cost of handling holiday business was less. The partridge-berry bowl also shows in this illustration. It is a good seller, but there is an improved style out this year. Instead of a cover going over a globe, a globe is made to fit over a base on which the partridge berries stand. Show Some Big Baskets. It is necessary to have a few arrange- ments at higher prices. They are a splendid advertisement for the store, even if not many are sold, and then there is the wide range between, where the decorator's ingenuity can contrive any number of attractive arrangements. The illustration on this page is repro- duced from a photograph made at the store of W. J. Smyth, Chicago, last Christmas. The large wicker basket was of white enamel and it contained both white and pink azaleas, with primroses and cyclamens, asparagus, cyrtomium and selaginella. The ribbon used was white, with a rose pattern embroidered in it in deep pink. This basket sold for $15. The larger basket, illustrated on page 19, also was made up to sell for $15. The wicker basket was about eighteen inches square and it stood three feet high. The basket was in shades of green and yel- low, the plants green and red — a red azalea and some small poinsettias, as- paragus, Boston ferns and cyrtomium were used for filling. On the handle there was pale green chiffon, the bow at one side being attached with a spray of artificial holly, from which depended a small immortelle Christmas bell, with an- other in the center of the handle. On the farther side of the handle was a large bow of red satin ribbon. SHOP TALK. The Need of Neatness. Much has been said on the why, how and wherefore of making up different designs, on church and house decorating, window decorating, advertising, etc., and no doubt much good has come therefrom, but one most important feature of our business has been dealt with but lightly. After you have succeeded in bringing a customer into your store, through an attractive window display, has the gen- eral appearance of the interior made a favorable impression? Or, let us go back one step farther. After a well directed advertisement, or a decoration seen at some friend's house, has brought a new prospect as far as your threshold, would the outside appearance of the place appeal or repel f I will take it for granted that you ex- ercise every care in sending out fresh flowers; that you have nice, neat boxes and stationery; that you are as prompt as is possible in making deliveries. After all these features and precautions it is absolutely necessary that you keep your store and surroundings neat and at- tractive. It makes no difference whether you are catering to the bon-ton or the middle or poorer classes; always keep things clean. Qeanliness Inspires Confidence. Now, do not misunderstand me. Plate glass mirrors, tile flooring, gold leaf decorations, and rubber tired wagons, al- DBCBMBKu 10. 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 19 Large Basket of Poinsettias, Azaleas and Green. though nice to have, are not essential, unless perhaps if you are after the busi- ness of the elite only. If you intend do- ing a general business and cater to the middle classes, as well as the rich, too much style is" apt to drive away the less wealthy buyers. Before considering the interior, let us just take a look at the exterior of the store. Let us look at it through the eyes of a customer. One does not know that you meant to have the windows washed, but had no time, or forgot, but the prospective buyer knows that they are dirty, and that a good sweeping would in no way injure the sidewalk. Before reading any farther just step outside and reconnoiter. You say it is raining, or that it has been snowing? Well, has the snow been cleaned off the walk! Or maybe there are some old pieces of water-soaked paper lying around. Pick them up. Instruct the men about your place to make a practice of doing this. Vatch the Littk Things. Be your store ever so humble, if you wish to favorably impress your patrons you must keep it not only clean, but or- derly. The floor should be kept carefully swept, the counters clean and, if you have a small writing-table for the con- venience of your patrons, see that it al- ways has a clean blotter and ink-well, and at least one pen that will write. At- tend to all these details at least once a day, in the morning. See that it is some one's business to attend to each duty. Of course we all know that there are times when the whole working force, be this yourself and ' ' the Mrs. " or a dozen or more clerks, is too busy looking after customers and getting out orders to stop to sweep floors and clean counters. That is just what you want, and why I am writing these few lines. Still, in the stormiest times there are always some lulls and that is your chance to tidy up a bit. It is not the temporarily upside-down appearance of a place that I am finding fault with ; it is the cobwebs and dust on the shelves that hurt, the perpetual air of neglect. Good Housekeeping. Better a little cleaning at every op- portunity than an annual house-cleaning and then a year of neglect. Have you ever noticed how a good housekeeper manages? She goes over the furniture lightly every day and you can never catch her napping. In other words, the house always looks as though it had just re- ceived its annual cleaning, and that is just how a prosperous flower store and show house should look. When you once acquire the habit, you will soon see the results in dollars and cents. Your jardinieres and baskets will commence to sell, customers will make their appointments at your store and naturally fill your coffers, even your help will be better natured, and the beauty of all this is that you have to go to no extra expense to bring about these results. H. S. CATCHING AN IDEA. [A paper by Charles Henry Fox, read before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, December 1, 1908.] Gentlemen, with your permission I am going to tell you tonight how I put "Salt on the Tail of an Idea." We all know success is the result of hard work — no luck in it — simply get- tiug right down to it and hammering away at it; not only hard work, but onergy directed in the proper channels, ■zw :iv'^"^ wr : .?p>T«*;.}<^: 20 The Weekly Florists^ Review. DSCBMBEB 10, 1908. focused in one direction, concentrated' until it crystallizes into success. So it is with ideas. First, you see or liear; then you think; then you remem- ber; then you imagine. If you drop either of the four after you have seen or lieard, you will never have an idea. Ideas are crystallized thoughts, and you will not have ideas unless you see or hear. Lots of people see things, but do not really see. To get ideas we must first cultivate our power of observation. For instance: 1 want to get a new wagon. I do not know what I want, but I do know I want something smart and different from any- thing about town. I start the observation car agoing, and I'very fine wagon that goes by me, I no- tice. I see wagons everywhere, partly unconsciously. Then I start the ' ' think- I'ry" agoing, and I think about what 1 have seen. I remember through think- ing about them. Then, after thinking and remembering what I have seen, I start the imagination factory agoing. Yes, I will get all kinds of crazy wag- ons in my head, but gradually I will have to sift them out, one by one, and finally settle on one shape or style, but the idea is not yet clear. Now I have to work harder; I have to get a little "salt." I drop a little on the tail of that last thought or idea, and it becomes a little clearer. Now I throw out a few more fan- tastic ideas, and in a few more days I have to add a little more salt, and gradu- ally I come to something entirely differ- ent, and yet practical. You can get this result on any subject if you sim- ply hang on to it, and keep adding "salt." Atmosphere for Ideas. Now, to create ideas in any specific line, it is necessary to surround yourself with the proper environment — the right sort of atmosphere. You will not get sporting ideas in a church; neither will you get moral or religious ideas in a saloon. If your hobby is baseball, and you are a very enthusiastic score card man, you Mill not see anything else in the newspaper, or on the street, but score cards. If automobiles are in your mind, you will see every new automobile on the road, know all about transmission and gear, and the resiliency of the tires. So I am trying to show you how very necessary it is to have the proper environs and atmosphere about you to make a success in any given line. You cam draw from it continually; you have something before you to see, to think about, to remember, to exercise your imagination upon when you rest at night. Ah! gentlemen, this is, I think, the great secret of idpas: Your outer of- fice, the eyes, and receptive brain are busy all day seeing things and taking them in, storing them up until you rest. Then your inside office, the subjective brain, takes it up, and works it out, molds your thought, your imagination, your enthusiasm into the crystallized product — ideas. Right here is another important fac- tor I almost forgot to mention — enthusi- asm. It is nigh impossible to take the initiative, to originate anything, to get an idea, without enthusiasm. You must believe in yourself, in your goods, and in the appreciation of the general public. I do not care who you are; you are bound to get credit for any really good work or thought you create. ' The Surprise Box. Right here I want to tell you about my surprise box. [It recently was illus- trated in the Review. — Ed.] The idea was the result of observing and taking up a remark. A gentleman, a good spender, came into my store. Nothing was too good for him; in fact, he was always looking for something better. One evening, after buying a corsage bunch of violets and orchids worth $20, while I was arranging it in what I thought a very good-look- ing violet box, he leaned over the coun- ter and said: "Why don't s'ome of the florists get up something new in the way of a fine box, that would present the flowers to the best advantage as soon as it was opened!" My ears caught it; I thought about it; I don't believe I would have seen a five- dollar note on the floor of the car that night; I saw nothing but boxes, boxes, all kinds of boxes. It took fully a year, thinking, remem- bering, imagining, to produce the prac- tical box. While I was experimenting with it, the box maker first of all said that I was crazy: "Another one of those fan-dangled ideas of yours." But I said,- "Never mind; you make it this way." "But it will never work," he replied. "Make it," I said; "I will pay for it." I had confidence in my goods, in myself, in the man who wanted something to pre- sent the flowers to their best advan- tage. I first used paper. It would not work, as the dampness of the flowers made it soft and limber. Then I used regular doilies, and they were too stiff; so I bought lace and had them made our own style, and it worked perfectly. I sent the first ones to a few prominent people, and they have been friends and customers ever since. I had confidence in the public; I was enthusiastic about it, and told them so, and they became enthusiastic, too, and bought them.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 21 lution of the florists' boxes. When I first began my experience in the busi- ness, every now and again my boss would say, "Charlie, run up to the shoe store and see if they have any boxes for us. If they haven't any, go across the street to McCreary's and get some col- lar and shirt boxes. ' ' I can yet well remember what acrobats those carnations and roses were; they had to bend the crab, and do every other stunt, squeezed in tight, like a coffin. Then, after I got a lot of boxes, I had a steady job pasting on our labels over the shoe merchant 's. Then, after this, we had boxes made •with nice green paper, and gold trim- ming. Once in a while we would change to yellow with white labels. Then the ever-handy, cheap folding boxes came into use. When the board got wet the string would cut through ^nd hold the flowers to the lid. At last, we had boxes made of different sizes to suit our business — all but American Beauties. You can today see fine Beau- ties coming out of fine shops with the tail cut out of the box, and the stems sticking out of the end, as long as the box itself. What right has a florist to send roses out in this style? Would a dry goods merchant do it? Can you think of any •other line that wouldf It is the first impression that counts, •every time, and especially in our busi- ness. You can't command a price if you, yourself, do not value the goods worth a decent box. Necessity the Mother. Ideas are always created through a desire for something. Think 1 Eemem- ber ! Imagine I First, you think about what is wanted. You see things suggestive. You remem- ber them. You build on them. You im- agine. Put on a little more "salt" and you create. We had a lot of one-sided begonias. Then the thought, "What can I do to •enhance the value of these plants, to sell them at a good profit?" Mats were old, heavy, unsuited to the plant. They need- ed some kind of a crazy basket to hide the defects. I walked through the sup- ply houses, but couldn't find anything to suit. Must make it myself! I am not a basket maker, but here she goes. Got a basket maker to make a skeleton, and we did the rest. Here is your plant, worth four times the price in the basket, and something new in the bargain. But it took enthusiasm, thought, confidence in the goods, in ourselves, in the pub- lic, to create it. In creating ideas you will get lots that are not practical, and that may be ridicu- lous or fantastic. But they are divided into two distinct classes, easily defined, and I have always found this a good rule to observe. An idea is only a genuine idea when it conveys your thought, and your thought should come from some useful want or desire. There must be an excuse for doing it, or twisting a shape in a cer- tain way. It must express that thought to your customer without any explanation from you — then you have a genuine idea, worth having. The Misuse of Ribbon. I believe the use of ribbon with flow- ers has a great field, and enhances the beauty and value of them. Remember that last suggestion: Value. A bunch A Variation of the 'Christmas Wreath. or basket, with an appropriate bow, artistically placed, is worth half as much again, if you are not simply selUng merchandise. But put the ribbon where it belongs; where the eye suggests the need of something being tied. To put a red necktie on an araucaria is as bad taste as chiffoning an azalea, with a lot of fussy stufl:, puffing out here and there. It does not do the azalea any good, anil wastes the ribbon. You can use some receptacle with the plant that offers an excuse to tie on a bow of ribbon, and you at once have the satisfying effect for the eye. Lots of people will notice these defects, but not really know what it is that does not appeal to them. They may even buy them, but it will not have that sat- isfying effect on them which sDmething would have that correctly conveys and carries out the thought. The Matter of Plant Decorations. I remember how plant decorations im- pressed me, when a boy starting in the business. The word ' ' decoration ' ' carried with it the thought of a half day's hustle and bustle, the tearing out of the well- arranged greenhouse, breaking of pots, and freezing of plants, and then the next day everything repeated, bringing them home. And all this for as much as a tailor would charge for a good suit of clothes. The reason for this is that we sell our brains by the load! So much a load — plants, brains, and work thrown in — and get them all back again, you know, next day. This idea of getting them back again is 80 impressed on the public that you will not get a good price for your flowers and work, because you sell them by the load, and get them all back. Sell them something they will keep — you do not want them back — and your customer will be satisfied to pay your price. It is the mental law of sale: Some- thing they will get for their money, be- longs to them, the desire to possess. Do not take it away the next day — by the load. Talk up cut fiowers. Use them every- where; they can be used to good advan- tage in vases, clusters and garlands. Now, I do not wish to be misconstrued. We do not want to eliminate plants al- together— we always want to use plants — but let them be specimens, plants that you can set anywhere on their merits. Has it ever occurred to you how in- congruous and bad taste it is to fill a house with a lot of stuff you would not otherwise dare to show a customer, in- dividually, using pot covers and pedestals that are anything but ornamental in a finely appointed house? Removing all the objects of art and bric-a-brac and building in place banks of plants! Fill vases with cut flowers, arrange them on the mantel, and you will get a better price, and will not have to take them back next day. • - -.!:•- -y- -r xy.

You cannot get ideas, or produce new things, if your surroundings are out of harmony with your soul. You must first get in line with your inner self and nature; then you must radiate that feeling, that sincerity, that enthusiasm, to those about you. Create the atmosphere of happiness; advance good cheer around your assistants; ele- vate their thoughts, their standing, make them respect themselves, their business and you. Pay them well, so they can say, with pride, "I am a florist." Then charge well for your goods and brains. That is the only way to evolve ideas. You, your assistants, your store, must be in harmony with the most beau- tiful things of nature — flowers. CHRISTMAS WREATHS. Make the Better Kinds. Leave the simple, single holly wreath to the corner grocer; perhaps he can make some money on it at 15 cents, or two for a quarter. The florist should prices. There are many kinds of wreaths — even of holly wreaths — and the people who buy flowers generally will know and appreciate the difference. Make good wreaths and ask fair prices. Show some of the 15-cent kind just to demonstrate the difference, but keep the cheapest ones in the background if you expect to ao a high-class trade. It pays florists, as other merchants, to work steadily toward a higher class of busi- ness, not by asking higher prices for the same old article, but by offering goods of better quality. Don't force your trade — or try to — to buy beyond their means, but look up, not down. The man with his eyes on the ground may occa- sionally pick up a i)enny, but he misses the fairest sights of this world. Some Different Wreaths. A well made but conventional holly wreath is shown in one of the accompany- ing illustrations. It is a difficult thing to show in a picture, but this was made of good holly, dark, rich green and well berried. You can't make that kind of wreath of the holly you buy from the ."/'Vvw' '^'*^^^ ^^fl^^BMI ^Sfti ^H^sSK^dK. i >» hHa Y 1 Hai^^P 1 ^t*^ k L r / 9 %l V 1*'^^. 4 '(^ ^^^^H '•■'^""■' •'■Jrt'.'X :';--" ^^^^^^H ■ - v. ■' ;■ - A WeU Made HoUy Wreath. get out of the grocers' class by offering something better — something that is worth more money and that pays a bet- ter profit. Of course a good many florists who are located where the corner grocery flour- ishes will have to supply the grade of wreaths their trade calls for, but even these can better compete by offering a finer article at a slightly higher price than by trying to meet the grocer's vegetable commission houses at half regular rates — that kind niay have been well berried when it left the southern speculator who shipped it, but if it was the chances are two to one the berries will mostly be in the bottom of the case when you come to start your wreaths. Of all expensive things, poor holly at any price is the dearest. The best article al- ways is cheapest in the end. The wreath illustrated not only was made of good holly, and did not have to be pieced out with winter berries, but plenty of material was used and these wreaths sold in good numbers while the grocer just around the corner was hav- ing his fling with the 15-centers. The ribbon used by the florist ^dded consider- ably to the cost of the wreath as well as to its appearance. Boxwood, Holly and Heather. Boxwood makes a handsome wreath and, combined with the red winter Tjer- ries, it sells well at Christmas. Boxwood also may be made up into a ball and, with red berries or red ribbon, makes a pleasing variation. To make the ball, have your wire-worker make up some lit- tle square wire frames and stuff them with sphagnum; then put in the boxwood good and thick. Boxwood is the basis for the wreaths illustrated in this issue, which are the work of Charles Henry Fox at the Sign of the Eose, Philadelphia. The effect of the scarlet berries on the selected sprays of hoUy, added over the boxwood, is en- hanced by the silvery white of the Scotch heather, and it makes a beautiful com- bination. The wreaths may be varied greatly by simply changing the propor- tion of heather, hoUy and boxwood. The Immortelle Wreath. The immortelle wreath in scarlet is an old favorite Christmas feature. It is sold by thousands every Ciiristmas. The conventional wreath may be varied by the simple addition of a red ribbon, and an immortelle Christmas bell also may be hung in the center of the wreath, but the way Mr. Fox varies the. design as shown in the illustration is especiaUy effective. One fine selected branch of holly is thrown across the wreath, attached at the lower end with a bow of wide red ribbon. Display a few of these exceptional wreaths in your Christmas stock and you will not fail to find appreciative people. SYLVESTER'S SUCCESS. A Story Told Hit Home Paper. J. H. Sylvester, of Oconto, Wis., was interviewed by a reporter for the Eepub- lican, his home paper, October 29. What he said will interest all florists, and to some it will point a moral. The inter- view was as follows, under the caption: BUILDING LAKGE TRADE. EXPRESSED FOUETEEN TONS. "There are probably few people in Oconto who realize what an enormous wholesale floral business is being car- ried on at J. Sylvester's greenhouses. The writer called "upon Mr. Sylvester and obtained some facts . which aston- ished liim and which wUl, no doubt, be of interest to every person interested in the growth of business in Oconto. "Coming here fourteen years ago, Mr. Sylvester built his first greenhouse. He catered strictly to the home trade, which was sufficient to demand another green- house, which he built five years later. But as retailing was not of sufficient amount to satisfy him, he decided to see what he could do at wholesaling and began to specialize. Pelargoniums, prim- roses, cinerarias and calceolarias were taken as specialties and a small adver- tisement inserted in the Florists' Re- view. This ad created such a demand that orders were filled with difficulty. Cyclamen was added to the specialties \'ifm*^jifjf.'fyff['fK*.m*^',9.'K»'j^i'^- ^^^^!''f;y;i'^yi\w^^rrvf^'fT.' p^jVi-/* DecexMbkr 10, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 23 Boxwood, Heather atnd Holly. and proved such a success that he made that and pelargoniums his leaders. "Not being content with his varie- ties, but always looking for something better, he commenced to improve his cyclamens, by selection and hybridizing, which is crossing two varieties to get one between them, and as a result about two months ago he sowed over fifty varieties of this one plant of seed of his own raising. He put in about 20,000 seeds, which, he says, will yield 10,000 good, healthy plants, and is now sowing an- other 20,000 and still later will sow an- other lot, making a total of 60,000 seeds and about 30,000 plants of cyclamen which he will have to ship in their sea- son. "Of his other leader, pelargoniums, commonly called Lady Washington ge- raniums, he has seventy varieties, and 8,000 plants ready for sale now and ex- pects to sell 20,000 by next April. "Of primroses, obconica is the great seller, several thousands of these being sold yearly, and cinerarias and calceo- larias in smaller quantities. "Pansies afford another chance for specializing and as a result of sowing heavily he has over 8,000 pansy plants to carry through the winter, besides thousands of plants he carries in stock the year around, including 10,000 to 12,000 pelargoniums, 3,000 to 4,000 prim- roses and 4,000 to 5,000 cyclamens, which are not included in the seedlings men- tioned above. Mr. Sylvester is one of three growers in the United States to any extent of some of the above. "Shipments every year are immense, the express shipments alone last year amounting to over fourteen tons, and so far this fall he has shipped more than five tons of express, besides the freight shipments. "When Mr. Sylvester was asked what he thought was the reason for the great increase in his business, he replied, 'Ad- vertising. ' He handed the writer a copy of the Florists' Eeview, which con- tained the following article: WHY LIMIT YOURSELF? Are you content with a business among your neighbors? Do tbey buy all the stock you raise, or could raise? Do tbey buy steadily, all the year around, or do you find yourself pashed 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 lees, for your money? Why don't yon 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, dracaena, cyclamen and primrose advertisements in the Classified Department of the Review and insert the inclosed until further notice. Stocks are getting badly broken. Sales have been flrst- class. J. Sylvester. "Oconto, Wis., Sept. 21, 1908." Cash comes with the order to the known ad- vertisers In the Review. Why not branch out? "As a result of his advertising, Mr. Sylvester had to erect another green- house, making three in all, which are lit- erally packed with plants of all de- scriptions, and some kinds, as pansies, are kept outdoors all the time in frames. ' ' This part of the United States is not generally thought of as being an extra good place to raise flowers, the year around, but when we think that Oconto flowers go to every state in the Union and to our neighboring countries, Canada and Mexico, we have to think there is something really good in them after all. These flowers and plants are not all shipped during our short sum- mer and fall, but all the year around, going from the frozen country to a warm, tropical one. "This shows what can be done in Oconto by proper enterprise. Why can we not have other industries built up here as Mr. Sylvester has hist" Immortelle Wreath with HoUy Spray. r?.'- ■™^y- -yyTT^^r" ^^■-<'^?as^.i^r-w»r"'!™T?!^TT'?r^w*-'7»'!^^ \ 1 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Dbcembbb 10, 1908. SOME GOOD SINGLE MUMS. The increased interest being taken in these beautiful chrysanthemums is being attested at the various fall shows, where they are being shown more extensively than ever before. At the late Boston exhibition there were as many plants of singles as of all other varieties com- bined, and it was especially noted that the ladies paid special attention to them. All the singles are of easy culture and, with a few exceptions, make ex- cellent bush plants, some requiring no stakes and others very few, compared with the heavier weight doubles. Cut- tings rooted in March and April will make excellent plants in 8-inch pots for fall. Of course, larger sized specimens may be had by starting them earlier, but we find the 8-inch size a useful deco- rative one. The plants can be grown out- doors from June till September, although they will hold their lower foliage a lit- tle better if kept under glass all the time. For cuttings the singles can be grown in boxes or benches. Cuttings rooted in May will produce splendid sprays. For table decorations these are far pref- able to the doubles, being so much light- er and airier, points too often forgotten by floral artists, whose efforts would seem to be to pile as many flowers as possible on the tables, frequently build- ing them up so that it is an utter im- possibility for the guests to see one another across the table. The following singles have proved themselves to be good for pot culture: Ladysmith, early pink ; Miss Irene Craig, pr.re white; Miss E. Partridge, deep pink; Emily Wells, clear pink, makes a fine bush plant, one of the best; Mrs. E. Eoberts, delicate pink, very fine; Mary Richardson, reddish salmon; Miss Mary Anderson, blush white, early; Mrs. S. Untermyer, pink, a dwarf grower, makes a splendid pot plant; Bessie Ken- nedy, blush, very good; Mrs. E. A. Isaacs, blush; Mrs. Baillie, chestnut bronze ; Pretoria, deep yellow, strong grower, needs pinching until the end of August; Edith Pagram, pink, white ring around disk. Several of the foregoing are American raised varieties and are equal to the best imported ones. Some varieties have a weedy habit and are unsuited for pot culture. The fol- lowing come in this class: Golden Star, Wyndham, J. T. Angus, Winnie Sher- ring, Lily Beer, Gretchen, Lorna Dando, Kate Covell, Gertrude and Harold Bishop, among the English varieties. Among American sorts Helen Totty has a fine dwarf habit, but the flowers can hardly be termed single and they have a droopy appearance. Julius Eoehrs, a taller growei", of chestnut color, and Mrs. W. Turner, light pink with large flowers, are not equal to such sorts as Mrs. S. Untermyer and Bessie Kennedy for pot culture. Some of the foregoing are use- ful for sprays, but too many sorts are now being put upon the market and it is necessary to prune the list severely. Quite a number of the newer intro- ductions are really semi-doubles. The most beautiful and taking kinds are those with a single, or at most a double row of petals. The nearer they approach the single marguerites in form, the more popular they will be. If florists will re- strict themselves to two or three of the best sorts and grow them so that the foliage is retained well down to the pots, they will find these singles excellent market plants, and small batches grown for sprays will sell at stores which are up-to-date. Try a decoration with them and it will make a first-class advertise- ment. W. N. Ceaig. THE BEST FIFTY. Every year I have carefully compiled a list of the best kinds for the exhibition grower to handle, judged in the light of the most recent shows. Every two or three years the face of our show varie- ties changes and, while one or two of the standards stick, most of them pass to that particular stage of existence re- served for mums after they have depart- ed this life. Anyone can compile such a list as this if he will take the record of the dif- ferent shows, jot down the kinds shown. strike an average on the winning lots and then make a comparison with the novelties as shown. My list this year is as follows: White — ^Mrs. Norman Davis, Beatrice May, Merza, W. M. Moir, Nellie Pockett, Clay Frick, Mrs. J. Makant, May Sed- don, Lynnwood HaU, Pres. Fallieres, T. Eaton, Mrs. F. F. Thompson. Yellow— Col. Appleton, F, S, Vallis, Mary Donnellan, Yellow Miller, S. A. Naceur-Bey, Mrs. L. Thome, Mrs. J. C. Neill, Gen. Hutton, Mrs. Oteo. Hunt, Cheltoni, C. Montigny, Yellow Eaton. Pink — Miriam Hankey, Lady Hope- toun, W. Duckham. Loiseau-Bousseau, Morton F. Plant, Frank Payne, O. H. Broomhead, Grace Whitney, Mrs. C. H. Totty. Bronze — Mrs. O. H. Kahn^ Rose Pock- ett, Ongawa, Mary Mason, Mrs. J. A. MiUer, Glenview, G. W. Pook. Crimson — Pockett 's Crimson, Pockett 's Surprise, Leslie Morrison, C. If. Totty, Mrs. H. Partridge. Odd Colors — Mrs, J. Dunne, Splendor, Bessie Evans, Pres. Viger, Mrs. J. Sin- nott. In looking over this list, we note that whites and yellows are not much changed. Mrs. Norman Davis, while a shade early, was uniformly good all over the country. Beatrice May suffered more than usual from the heat and did not finish so well. Moir produced some enormous flowers and many poor ones. It wants a long Single Chrytanthemum Mrs. Untermyer, Light Pink. '"W'r'P''s'' W 'v ™- li^-* "' ™ <'.'^T"V.'

So many growers have yet to learn the lesson that it is impossible to get something out of noth- ing, and after planting out in July they wonder why they cannot get good flow- ers from their stock. The rest of the whites are placed about as they go in the order of merit. Mrs. J. Makant is a novelty, much on the order of Moir, but with less neck. Mrs. F. F. Thompson, with its curling petal, is the most beautiful of the lot as a flower, but its neck puts it out of the running in any but the short-stem class. In the yellows, Appleton is not yet de- posed from his perch, though eventually he will meet his Waterloo. F, S. Vallis everyone knows and everyone grows for his largest flower. Mary Donnellan has been well received, and if it only had the Appleton foliage it would depose the latter. Two novelties are in the yellow class — Yellow Miller sport and Mrs. L. Thome. Neither one ia deep in color, though in their class as light yellow they are fine. Yellow Miller is having a heavy sale on its parents' record. S. A. Naceur-Bey is one of last year's French kinds that has made its way to the front. It is tinted with bronze occasionally, but otherwise is a handsome thing. The rest are all well known. Yellow Eaton is about ready to step off the list. Neither of the Batons is as good as it was and their race is about run. In pinks, no variety has loomed up like Hankey this year. A year ago my kind friends, the knockers, decided that this variety was overrated and that my judg- ment, like the flower, did not amount to much. Hankey was head and shoulders above any pink at Chicago and New York this year and has vindicated itself. Frank Payne and Mrs. C. H. Totty are both good as novelties in this class, though I could wish they were deeper in color. Duckham is losing its grip, and though some eastern growers still get it fine, it is not so good as it was. Loiseau-Rousseau is a wretched color, but a magnificent flower, and, so long as size counts thirty-five points in the scale, must be reckoned with. Lady Hopetoun, though the neck is weak, is still one of our largest blooms. Grace Whitney will be seen in much better shape another year. In bronze, Mrs. O. H. Kahil is the win- ner. It is as easy to grow as a cabbage and comes on any bud. It was a favorite everywhere. Rose Pockett, while it will only figure in the short-stem class, as the neck is too long, is one of the hand- somest mums ever staged. Ongawa ia a grand thing in this class, but a little too early for most shows. Glenview pro- duces some great stock, but the bud has to be just right. A little too early or too late makes a big difference with it. Mary Mason is one of the biggest mums we have and Miller is always in evidence. The crimson class has been enriched this year by the addition of some won- derful things. It is, in fact, almost a matter for regret that we have so many at once. Chas. H. Totty is not a true crimson, shading, as it does, back to chestnut, but it is a grand mum. Lest I be misunderstood, let it be stated that C. H. Totty was not named by me per- sonally. My bump of conceit has never swelled to the point of naming anything after myself. It was named by Wells in England, and is an Australian seed- ling. Pockett 's Crimson is the gem of. this lot. Its record is now a matter of history and another year in the hands of our expert growers will only enhance its reputation. It is all crimson and will never be classed as a bronze, as so many of our crimsons have been. Pockett 's Surprise does not show such rich color- ing, but it makes an even larger flower and must be classed as a special any- where. Leslie Morrison shades off sev- eral points on color, but it ia such an enormous flower that a place must be made for it in the short-vase classes at least. In the odd colors. Splendor is the most prominent. It is a peculiarly shaded flower and an odd color. The petals, some of which are two inches wide, hang straight down and show only the bronze reverse, with an occasional glimpse of crimson showing in the upturned tip. It is a striking and novel flower and I think will be popular. Bessie Evans is a pink so light that it shades to white in the center of the flower. It makes a very large flower and is an easy variety to handle. I consider that 1908 marks an epoch in the history of the mum. Not only were there some splendid shows, but the new kinds set up for the first time show such marked progress that we may truth- fully say that the end is not yet. Charles H. Tottt. BEST LATE VARIETffiS. I would be pleased to learn the names of the best standard late varieties of chrysanthemums, in the colors white, yel- low and pink. I have Eaton and Yellow Eaton and want some others as late or later than those kinds. P. H. The standard kinds appearing in New York since Thanksgiving have been: In white, W. H. Chadwick, Jerome Jones and Jeanne Nonin; in yellow. Yellow Chadwick, Bonnaffon and Nagoya; in pink, Maud Dean, Dr. Enguehard and Helen Frick. 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Dbcembbs 10, 1908. It has always seemed to me, in ouif vicinity, that after Thanksgiving there is no frantic rush to get mums any more. The public is tired of them and turns to other flowers. In the west it may be different, though I would advise P. H. not to go into very late mums too heavily till he sees how his market will take them. He will, of course, understand that late stock is planted late (sometimes as late as August 15) and grown as cool as pos- sible all fall and the terminal bud taken. One exception may be noted, and that is with the old Jerome Jones. The ter- minal bud of that variety with us used to be a light pink, and we discarded it a decade ago, though some commercial men still seem to get it in good shape. A pink variety coming out this year, called CHRYSANTH^IUM SOCIETY. Work of the Committees. Cincinnati, Nov. 27. — Mrs. J. Boxall, pink Japanese incurved, exhibited by Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich., scored 88 points commercial scale. Cincinnati, Nov. 27. — Improved Chad- wick, white, exhibited by Elmer D. Smith & Co., scored 90 points commercial scale. The variety Canadian seedling No. 20, exhibited by C. H. Totty in Chicago, has been named W. R. Brock. David Fraser, Sec'y. EUROPEAN NOTES. Chrysanthemum growers throughout France and England are now celebrating the centenary of the chrysanthemum. Single Chrysanthemum Irene Cragg, White* W. R. Brock, can easily be held for Christmas if desired. Charles H. Totty. Hannibal, Mo. — Thomas A. Gulp went into bankruptcy December 2. The meet- ing of his creditors is called for Decem- ber 12. One hundred years ago a French sailor introduced the first plants from Japan into France. His portrait now occupies a place of honor at Paris, Tours and the leading French shows, and his grand- children are feted by the enthusiastic mum growers. Many old prints, paint- ings, cotalogucs, etc., have been got to- gether by enthusiastic collectors for the occasion, forming a most interesting col- lection, in which the progress of a cen- tury 's work may be noted, step by step. Unfortunately, however, the chrysan- themum itself has not risen to the occa- sion, for 1908 is not an ideal year for specimen blooms. The mild weather of late October and early November played havoc among the petals, and growers are disappointed at not being able to show tiptop blooms. There is a marked de- cline in the quality of blooms at leading English shows, such as those of London and Birmingham, and a decrease in the number of exhibits also. It is very un- fortunate that Dame Nature should step in and rob the centenary of its splen- dor. There is no lack of new varieties, and single flowered varieties still main- tain their popularity for decorative ef- fects. GREEN BAMBOO STICKS. Mr. Loechner, of the Yokohama Nurs- ery Co., has the following to say of bam- boo plant stakes: "Japanese bamboo sticks in natural condition are well known to the growers, particularly in the east, where they are delivered at reasonable prices on account of the cheap ocean freight on direct tramp steamers via Suez to New York. Most of these steamers belong to the Standard Oil Co., and they carry freight at extremely cheap rates instead of re- turning under ballast. "The sticks are used in preference to the so-called American canes, as they are more durable, more slender, and do not rot at the base, so they can be used over and over again. Several trials have been made to color them for pot plants such as chrysanthemums, lilies, hyacinths, etc., but the color did not stick to the glossy surface of the sticks. But now one house has succeeded in having them colored by a special process and they are bought in the east in preference to the wooden sticks which we used before. ' ' PINK LUPINES. Can you give me any information on growing Rawson's new Pink Beauty lu- pine! Do you think it will make a good florists ' flower? S. H. S. Annual pink lupines should make good florists' flowers. They are of easy cul- ture under glass, but so far seem to have been largely neglected commercially. If seed had been sown in small pots late in September and planted in benches in Oc- tober, they could have been had in flower for Christmas. By sowing now, either in pots or thinly in a bench in a cool house, you will be able to flower them about the middle of March. These lupines, like many others of our best annuals, do bet- ter under glass than outdoors. They keep well when cut and I feel confident that any wide-awake and up-to-date flower stores would be glad to purchase them. If you have critical flower buyers, looking for something out of the beaten track, these lupines will make a welcome change. A house kept at 45 to 48 degrees at night is sufficiently warm for them.

When should I sow seeds of the fol- lowing varieties, here in Tennessee, to have plants ready for spring sales: Pan- sies, moonvines, salvias, verbenas, petu- nias and forget-me-nots? J. F. C. Pansies and forget-me-nots would have been better sown late in August or the early part of September, in your latitude. It will now be better to wait until the early part of February, when they can be sown in a house not kept too warm; 55 degrees at night should ndt be ex- ceeded, or weak, spindling plants will result. The moonvines will be all right if sown at the end of February. Petu- nias would be better sown from the mid- dle to the end of January, but the salvia (splendens, we suppose, being the variety wanted) ought not to bo sown more than eight weeks before it is wanted for sal^s, as it is a rapid grower. The last three varieties of seeds germinate best in a moist, warm house, 60 to 65 degrees at night being about right. The salvia must not be kept in this heat long, or it will become long and drawn. C. W. LEAF CURL ON VIOLETS. We are enclosing violet leaves which you will notice are curled on the edges, and then the leaves wither, also gettiag the green spots. We have just noticed this during the last three days. We looked through the violet book, but can- not find anything in regard to the with- ering and curling of the leaf. We planted the violets in October and they were getting along nicely. We are heating with natural gas in a stove, with stove pipes, so that the fumes cannot affect the violets. Will you kindly let us know if the curling and the spots are harmful to the violets? C. H. The leaf curl and withering you refer to are not at all uncommon with the single violets. From the foliage I should judge that your variety is Princess of Wales. The cause of this disease I do not know. The best remedy is to pick off any affected leaves as fast as they appear. Any plants badly diseased had better be pulled up. Keep the plants moist at the root. Scratch the surface soil occasionally to prevent its becoming baked. Hold the night temperature as near 40 degrees as possible and you will do about all that is possible to prevent the spread of disease. C. W. VIOLETS UNDER BENCH. Will violets bloom and be of any value if planted under the edge of a bench on the north side of the greenhouse, where there are pipes under the bench! I keep the house at 60 to 65 degrees. J. F. C. Neither double nor single violets will do anything planted in such a location. Both want an abundance of light and sun, which conditions would be entirely lacking under any bench. Furthermore, the temperature, 60 to 65 degrees, is much too high for violets, which succeed best in winter in a night temperature of 40 to 42 degrees. Unless you can give your plants a light bench or bed, it would be much better to grow them in cold- frames. BELL'S WINDOWS AT NIGHT. The accompanying illustration is from a really exceptional picture made at night. It shows the store front of the Bell Floral Co., at Franklin, Pa., dur- ing the recent annual encapipment ot the Odd Fellows. The picture was made entirely with the light regularly used in the windows, one Tungsten burner of 110 candle power in each window, the exposure being about twenty minutes. The Bell store is the only one of its kind in Franklin and was started only last summer. The light causes the signs above the awning to stand out boldly and, whatever the window decoration may be, it never fails to attract attention when illuminated. During Odd Fellows' week one window was in red, white and blue, with the weil-known three links worked out in immortelles, while the other window was in purple and gold, with a large vase of yellow mums draped ith purple chiffon and the Odd Fellows pin worked out in immortelles. , ■::■ *■■ !v;->'^ : ;/ , : vwr •, '^ .-\,',; 28 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Decbmbeb 10, 1908. CARNATION NOTES.- EAST. Various Preparations. There are several matters which should be given attention before cold weather sets in, that there may bo no delay in future operations. First in importance is a supply of soil in which to pot the young stock when propagated. Many a batch of promising cuttings has never fulfilled expectations for want of a proper start in life. "Any old soil ' ' will positively not do ; neither can such soil be brought up to require- ments by the addition of fertilizers. The mature plants will lead the strenuous life in due season, but let the youngsters follow the simple one. Provide new soil, composed entirely of rotted sod, without the addition of any fertilizer whatever. A small quantity of air-slaked lime, however, might with advantage be added. The G>tnpost Pile. outside, convenient to As soon as freezing substantial crust over with straw, hay, corn material, to prevent Over all, place boards be at hand that will Locate the pile the" potting shed, weather forms a the surface, cover stalks or other further freezing, or whatever may shed water. Brought in a week or ten days before being used, that it may become warmed to the inside temperature (this is im- portant), such soil will be sweet, in good mechanical condition and particularly adapted to the sturdy growth so desirable in the carnation. Some may question the ailvisability of leaving out the fertilizer, but would they presume to feed an infant on the ration suitable for a grown person ? Why should not the same rule obtain in tlu' case of plants? The Propagating Sand. This can be handled in niucli the same manner as recommended for the potting soil, though some growers |)refer to place it in the bench early and sterilize it just previous to inserting the cut- tings. From a commercial point of view. I am not an advocate of sterilization in the case of sand or soil, believing, as I do, that the advantages gained — if any — over the employment of natural methods do not warrant the average grower in incurring the increased expense. Plowing. If possible, plow the land for next season's plants this fall or early in the winter, whether it be in sod or open. Leave it rough, as turned by the plow, and, instead of leaving the mianure in a pile to be spread in the spring, apply as soon as hauled to the field, which should, of course, be during the winter, when the ground is frozen. In this con- nection let me say that if you can ar- range in some way, without much ex- pense, to have it put on with a manure spreader, do so; it will prove a mighty good scheme. Geo. S. Osborn. CARNATION NOTES.- WEST. Propagating. The time is now coming when you must begin thinking of your stock for next sea- son and there is nothing in the whole year's work which is deserving of more serious consideration. We will not con- sider the whole question at this time, but only the preparations which must be made for the rooting of the cuttings which are to be your next season's stock. A small percentage of growers have a special house for propagating, and in some re- spects these are very desirable. Perhaps the greatest advantage, in this as in other cases when a whole house is given to any one thing, is that conditions can be con- trolled and arranged to suit that one crop, without having to consider some- thing else which may require different conditions. This will often save one con- siderable worry and loss. This does not necessarily mean, however, that you can not propagate successfully unless you have such a specially built house. The fact is, there are perhaps more cuttings rooted in houses where other plants are growing than there are in specially built propagating houses. The Bench. If you have a bench which you can isolate so as to control the draughts and the light, you can root your cuttings as well as you could in any propagating house. If deemed necessary, add an extra steam pipe under the bench and board up the front from the edge of the bench down to within six or eight inches of the ground. This will hold in enough heat to gently warm the sand from the bottom. This should not be overdone, however. You will find that usually two 2-inch pipes are enough under a 3-foot bench, if steam is used for heating. The north bench in an even-span house makes an ideal propagating bench. Hang a muslin curtain in front of the bench, suspended from the roof-bars and reaching down below the edge-board of the bench. This will keep off draughts when the ventilat- ors are open, besides keeping off the sun on bright days. Later, when the sun gets up higher, another curtain must be stretched over the cuttings. As to the bench itself, many growers prefer tile bottoms, but here, again, we can say that you need not fail if you do not have them. Clean boards, with proper drainage, make a splendid bench for this purpose. If it has been used for grow- ing blooming stock, be sure it is cleaned off well and washed with the hose.

River and lake sand are usually clean and are good if you can get them sharp enough. Usu- ally they are too fine, which prevents proper drainage when flooded with water. Pit sand is not always clean, but can be had as coarse as wanted. We have used both kinds with splendid success and find that, when handled according to their composition, no trouble need be experi- enced. Spread the sand on the bench about three and one-half inches thick and water it thoroughly. Leave it until you wish to ])ut in cuttings, when it should be packed down rather firmly, packing it as it is needed, ^me growers still use a brick for doing this, but we find that a much l)etter tool is made as follows : Find a piece of 2-inch plank, 6x12, and smooth on both sides. Saw a V-shaped piece out of another piece and nail it onto the flat piece with the point up. This makes a splendid handle, which can be gripped from either side and does not tire the hand like gripping a brick, and a much better job will result. After providing yourself with a com- mon table knife for cutting the furrows in the sand where the cuttings are to be inserted, you are ready for the cuttings, and your troubles are just conunencing. They will be serious or light, according to your watchfulness and good judgment in caring for the cuttings. A. F. J. Baur. MERRITT»S SUCCESS. H. Merritt, at Irondequoit, N. Y., has had exceptional results with his car- nations thus lar this season. The ac- companying illustration shows a house, 30x155, from which he picked an aver- age of 1,000 flowers a day for the whole month of October, whicn splendid result could not have been obtained had the weather not been specially favorable. The cut still is heavy. Enchantress oc- cupies the bench in the foreground in the picture, with Beacon in the bench at the left, and. Queen on the two side benches. The picture was made in the afternoon, and in the early morning of that day 1,200 blooms had been picked. Mr. Merritt disposes of the bulk of his stock to H. E. Wilson, Rochester, who has taken uis cut for twelve years in succession. Last season Mr. Merritt found a sport of Queen, a shade which resembles Win- 8or, and of which he intends to work up stock, thinking he has a first-class thing. During the past summer Mr. Merritt built for himself a new residence at a cost of over $5,000, which seems to in- dicate that carnation growing is not the least profitable of occupations in cen- tral New York. ARRANGEMENT OF BENCHES. Can you tell me the most practical way of dividing a house 11x85, and eight and a half feet high to the ridge, into bench room for the growing of carna- tions? It is an even-span house. Subscriber. Your house is of an awkward width for dividing in an up-to-date manner. You do not give as much data as you might have done, either, and so T must guess at Carnation Edward. what you did not furnish. I will assume that the eaves are about five and one-half feet high and the sides boarded up to them. In such case, I would build a bench two and one-half feet wide against the north wall. This will hold four plants across. Leave a 2-foot walk be- tween it and the next bench, which will be five feet wide. This will leave room along the south wall for a walk one and one-half feet wide, which is wide enough to work in. You will do all your heavy work, like wheeling soil, in the wide cen- ter walk. Under this arrangement you will get all the light possible under the circumstances. When you build again, plan your house to be at least fifteen feet wide. That will give you two 5-foot benches with walks all around them, which is the up-to-date way of building. A. F. J. B. CARNATION EDWARD. W. H. Shumway, the carnation grower at Berlin, Conn., has been experimenting for a number of years in the raising of seedlings and has a series of new varie- ties undergoing test which he expects will be put on the market within the next year or two. This season he is introducing a variety named Edward, which he has been growing for four years. The color is deep pink. The petals are heavily fringed and the flower is high built in the center, being more than ordinarily dou- ble. Mr. Shumway says that what par- ticularly im[iressed him about this va- riety was its continuous blooming habit. He also claims that the percentage of good flowers is above the average, al- though an occasional split is found. He says it is easy to grow and comes into bloom early, but does not reach its high- est development until the middle or last of November. He says, ' ' The disseminat- ing of new varieties will be my spe- cialty, and I hope to produce several new carnations that will gain widespread recognition." His place is well kept and up-to-date. RUST ON CARNATIONS. Can you tell me what is the matter with the enclosed carnation leaves? Please give me a remedy, as the trouble is spreading fast. A. L. The specimens forwarded were covered with the pustules of the common carna- tion rust. If you will look up your recent numbers of the Review you will see this subject treated repeatedly. If the rust is spreading rapidly, you may be sure your cultural methods are wrong. Look up your Reviews and get busy cleaning the plants off, and then correct your methods according to the suggestions given. A. F. J. B. STIGMONOSE. Enclosed you will find samples of car- nations which seem to be affected in some way. The plants were in fine con- dition until two weeks ago, when the trouble was first noticed, and it seems to spread rather than to improve. We «re at a loss to know what is our trouble and will appreciate any suggestion. H. S. W. The light spots in the leaves on the specimens forwarded are what is called .^tigmonose — formerly called bacteriosis. These spots are supposed to be caused by the punctures of insects, such as aphis, thrips, red spider, etc. While the growth is quite young these insects puncture the tender skin and suck the juice from the leaves, causing a breaking down in the structural cells on account of the with- drawal of this sap. Occasionally one runs across a batch of plants thus affected, which had been kept as clean of insects as possible from the beginning, and naturally one is apt to doubt this theory. Scientists, how- ever, tell us that seldom is a plant en- tirely free from insects of some kind, even though they may escape the naked eye. That these punctures are primarily the cause of this disease I have no doubt. 30 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Dbcember 10, 1908. and I think it quite possible that this poison may grow and permeate the whole plant and its offspring in the way of cuttings, regardless of punctures. We find, too, as a rule, that when a variety begins to show these spots, it marks the beginning of deterioration of that vari- ety. Unless selection of cuttings is car- ried on most critically, the variety will last but a fe^v seasons. By avoiding all plants which show these spots when tak- ing off ctittings, one can sometimes free a variety of the trouble, but it takes several seasons, and unless a variety is of unusually strong constitution it will not outgrow it entirely. Some of the best varieties have gone in that way, which means careless growing and care- less propagating. The variety Enchantress has been showing these spots for several seasons and I have noticed that each season there are more complaints of them. This vari- ety has usually much vitality, else it would not have withstood it this long. That it will go by this route I feel cer- tain, but how soon it will give up the fight no one can say. It is also noteworthy that in most of such cases one can find a grower here and there who will have a variety in fine health long after everyone else has dis- carded it. That proves that careful se- lection of cuttings, followed by careful, sane, methods in growing, will keep a variety up in vigor and health. Rich food, excessive watering or any form of crowding will Wake matters worse, so avoid everything of that kind. A. F. J. B. WHO GROWS BRITANNIA? I should like to hear from carnation growers who have tried the new English carnation, Britannia, raised by A. Smith, Enfield Highway, Middlesex. Let us know if it is a good variety for American growers. We shall be glad to know what anyone with experience has to say about it. W. I. N.

Here, Sec 'y. ROOTING ROSES OUTDOORS. Please tell us how the California grow- ers root roses and carnations in the open ground. At what season are they put in the soil and what sort of wood is used? Also please state the subsequent treatment. Do you know the process used in the south of France? Southerner. There is but one way the world over to root cuttings of roses in the open ground, and this is dependent on the nature of the cutting itself, the soil in which it is planted, the climatic con- ditions and their subsequent handling after planting. Taking the four men- tioned conditions as a whole, it is hardly necessary to add that they must all be favorable to the growth of the cutting, for if any one of them is overlooked there is but one result, and that is — failure. To begin with, the wood chosen for this purpose is in direct connection with the conditions; or, to be more explicit, the wood is ripe at that time of the year after we have had a touch or two of frost or after our first rains. These are usually sufficient to cause the stock plants to drop most of their foliage. Or, if there has been no check in the growth because of the non-appearance of expected cold weather or rain storms, the wood must be worked up anyhow, and trenched in bundles of a hundred or so, until a heavy rainfall gives assur- ance that it will be safe to plant in the open. If, by any , chance, the expected dampness does not materialize in suffi- cient quantity to make a favorable time, recourse must be had to irrigation. Thif is both expensive and unsatisfactory, but occasionally it is done. About the first of December is the proper time to make rose cuttings in the central portion of the Pacific coast region, and nothing but the hardest wood is used. Soft, pithy branches are discarded, and there are no other pre- cautions necessary, except to trim off any leaves that may remain and see that there is an eye or two well down toward the bottom of the cutting. The cut- tings are usually made about one foot in length. The soil should be well worked up, and, as I have already stated, the plant- ing should be preferably after a heavy rain or two, but if this does not come to pass and the cuttings have been made and heeled in temporarily for several weeks, so that there is danger of their smothering, they will have to be planted anyhow, and artificial watering given instead. They are usually planted ten inches apart in the rows and the rows them- selves are four feet apart, thereby giv- ing plenty of room for a horse and cul- tivator to pass between, them later. Should it become necessary to artifi- cially water them, a drill is drawn along- side the rows and a good flooding given several times at short intervals, to as- sist in root forming. This brings us to the subject of the subsequent handling of the growing cuttings. It is well, when they are planted, to draw the earth well up to them and leave not over thr^e inches of the top exposed. The keeping of the soil loose afterward, as well as remov- ing weeds in close proximity, is done with a hoe, but the main cultivation is by horse and cultivator in the center of the row. This is kept up every three or four weeks during the spring and sum- mer, or until the growing season is prac- tically over at the approach of cold weather. I might add, under the heading of climatic conditions, that planting is never done during extremely frosty weather, or during the prevalence of dry winds, which often visit us during the plant- ing season. A strong growing tea or hybrid per- petual rose will usually grow from three to four feet in a season from a cutting, while a hardy climber will usually grow twice as much. Eoses are divided into three classes — varieties that are preferably grown on their own roots, varieties that make a fair growth in that way, and varieties that are difficult to root and are conse- quently budded instead. To the first division belong all the wild stocks used either for budding or grafting, about fifty per cent of the noisettes and a majority of the Bengal, ramblers, banksias and briars. To the next division belong the hybrid te?is and about fifty per cent of the hybrid per- petuals, teas, mosses, polyanthas and a few other classes. To the last division belong the balance of the rose family, including some from every class that are almost impossible to make into salable plants from cuttings in one season. In some cases it is because it is almost impossible to make them root at all, and in others the roots are so tender and weak that a strong plant cannot be assured until the second or third season. With all these varieties budding is resorted to, as well as with difficult rooting or weak growing kinds, belonging to the first and second divisions. The growing of budded roses has as- sumed large proportions on the Pacific coast, and by its assistance many nat- urally weak growing kinds have been induced to bring out their best qualities and become the most popular selling sorts. Not over fifty per cent of our best roses make satisfactory plants when grown on their own roots, and it be- comes necessary to bud them on a stronger growing sort before they will pay for the' space they occupy in the garden. The cuttings are dug one year after planting and are usually graded in three sizes. If the soil is rich and there has been a good amount of moisture, and if the soil has been well cultivated, there should be a heavy percentage of No. 1 plants; that is, those that are sold for first size. If conditions along the lines I have mentioned have not been favor- able, the growth will be less vigorous and smaller sized plants will result. Regarding soil for the growing of roses, it might be well to remark that cuttings can be better rooted in soil that is partially sandy, while after they have become rooted they make stronger plants in heavy adobe soil. This is practically true of all roses. Carnations, being of such easy growth. ,717'. Dkckmbeu 10, lOOS. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 3J are not rooted in the open ground in California to any extent. If the grower has not facilities for rooting in sand under glass, they are handled in cold- frames in flats. There are a few sorts that are diflScult to root in this way, but the ordinary varieties are easily grown in a few weeks for forcing or gar- den planting. Cuttings are made from the first to the middle of December and are ready for transplanting from four to six weeks afterward. By the first of May a healthy young plant should be developed, fufly able to hold its own, whether placed under glass or in the garden. G. THE ROOTED CUTTING TRADE, Kindly give us instructions regarding the commercial handling of rooted cut- tings. What varieties of bedding and other plants are most in demand and what is the cost of carrying stock plants and rooting the cuttings? We note that coleus is advertised as low as 25 cents per hundred. How can they be grown so cheaply and leave any margin of profit? Suppose a grower should have 10,000 cuttings in the sand and no call for them when they were ready to come out, what then? Must soft stock be rooted with bottom heat or can they be put in flats and placed anywhere in the greenhouse? Could they be rooted in flats under the benches where there is a fair degree of light? All the infor- mation that you can give us on this sub- ject will be gratefully received. I am located in a mild climate. H. T. The correspondent asks a good many questions, each one of which, if dealt with in full, would require considerable time and space. I shall only attempt to answer them briefly. I presume from his first question that he wishes to engage in the rooted cut- ting business for the wholesale trade. If so, I should proceed by procuring in the spring a small quantity of small plants of such varieties as I intended to grow, and plant them in the field, propa- gating from them during the summer months to increase the stock, so that I would have a quantity of each variety to plant in greenhouse benches to propa- gate from during the winter. The number of stock plants of each variety required would depend on how extensively the grower expected to oper- ate, and that would depend on how much he advertised. The young plants propagated from the field stock during the summer should be planted in the greenhouse benches about September 1 and the old plants also from the field should be lifted about that time and treated the same way. They will soon become established and by Novem- ber 1 should be in good growth. You can' then begin propagating and offer them to the trade as soon as rooted. Of course, orders will be only limited at this time, but during January, February and March they should be coming in lively. To the beginner, I would give a word of warning regarding taking cuttings. Do not cut the stock plants too hard early in the season. Leave enough leaves and young wood to keep up good root action. It will repay you well in the end. I consider geraniums the most im- portant of all bedding plants and fully two-thirds of those used are red of vari- ous shades, and in Iowa S. A. Nutt is most popular. Following is a list of the most popular bedding plants produced from cuttings, and in about their order of importance : Flowering plants — Geraniums, crimson, scarlet, salmon, pink, white, all double; Tbe editor is pleased when a Reader presents Ills Ideas on any sublect treated In tV/^ As experience Is tlie best teacher, so do ^e leam fastest by aa exchanee of experiences.

WK SHALL BE GLAD TO HEAR rROM TOU. salvias, dwarf varieties, such as St. Louis, Mrs. Page and others; -verbenas in variety ; ageratum, blue, Stella Gurney as good as any ; petunias, double, in va- riety ; feverfew ; sweet alyssum, double ; lantanas in variety; marguerites. Queen Alexandra and yellow ; dahlias and hardy phlox, thousands of small plants from cuttings are sold of these. Foliage plants' — Alternanthera, red and yellow; coleus in variety. There are many more items a rooted cutting specialist should handle, a good guide to which will be a study of the advertising pages of the Eeview or the catalogues of a firm in the same business. Eegarding the cost of carrying stock plants and rooted cuttings, it is a ques- tion whether or not this can be definitely arrived at. There is a difference of opin- ion as to the value of greenhouse space. Some consider 50 cents, some 75 cents, and others $1 per square foot profitable returns. The average florist knows little about costs in detail. I wish someone well posted would discuss the subject. The correspondent asks what he should do with 10,000 rooted cuttings in the sand and no call. When he began to propagate the cuttings, he should have begun to propagate in the mind of the prospective buyer the idea that he had cuttings to sell, and about the time the cuttings were ready the buyer would have his order in. I cannot see how coleus or any other plants can be rooted, handled and ad- vertising paid for, and sold profitably for 25 cents per hundred, unless they were handled by the million, which they are- not. I do not believe they are profitable at less than 75 cents to $1 per hundred in the limited quantities in which they are sold. Referring to the question, must soft stock be rooted with bottom heat or can they be put in flats and placed anywhere in the greenhouse, I will state that dur- ing the winter months all cuttings are as- sisted in rooting by a little gentle bottom heat, which means keeping the tempera- ture of the sand at about 65 to 70 de- grees, which is an easy matter when there are two or three 1-inch pipes under the benches. There is one essential point to be ob- served in rooting cuttings and that is, shade from direct sunshine by the use of paper placed directly on top of the cut- tings. This also holds the moisture around the cuttings and prevents wUting, but as soon as the strong sunlight leaves the house or the bench in which the cut- tings are, then the shade should be re- moved or fungus may set in and sweep off the entire batch. It is possible that with care, some suc- cess might be had in rooting cuttings under the benches where the light is fair, but personally I would be driven to the last extremity before I put it into prac- tice. I cannot see any economy in put- ting cuttings in flats at all. If my houses faced south I would select the south side bench, put in four inches of clean sand, firm it down with a brick or any suitable pounder, and give a thor- ough watering. Then take a common lath the length of the bench width, lay firmly on the sand across the bench and cut a slit in the sand along the side of the lath with an old knife or any suitable Implement. In this slit insert the cut- tings about one inch apart. When the row is finished, lay the lath close to it and cut another slit, and so on until the batch of cuttings is all in. The width of the lath will determine the distance the rows are to be apart, which will be about one and one-fourth inches. W^hen you have inserted a few rows of cuttings, give a thorough watering to settle the sand and, if the sun shines, cover with paper. Most cuttings root in from ten to twenty-one days, when they can be potted or put in flats, unless they are to be sold from the sand. If the latter, you can carry a batch of cuttings in the sand two weeks or over a month after they are ready to sell without injury, provided they are kept moderately dry, to keep them from making too soft a growth.

Plants of Lilium Harrisii wanted for Christmas should now have the buds all hanging down and the largest ones show- ing white. In a temperature of 60 de- grees at night these will be in season. It is unwise to try any hard forcing. There is a fairly steady call for lilies all win- ter and sometimes they bring more early in January than at Christmas. It is always well to remove plants in flower to a cooler house for a few days. This adds greatly to their substance. Longiflorums for Easter must not on any account be overlooked. The Ber- muda and Formosa stock will now be several inches high and will be all right if grown along in a temperature of 50 degrees. The Japanese bulbs, which do not arrive until November, will hard- ly have made any growth as yet. Be careful not to allow the pots to become wet. They are much better kept on the dry side until the pots are full of roots, when more moisture is advan- tageous. Be sure that you do not allow aphis to get quartered in the tops of the shoots, or great damage will be done. In addition to the regular fumi- gation, drop some tobacco dust in the tops of the shoots and lay fresh stems among the pota once a fortnight. Speciosums grown from cold storage bulbs, intended for Christmas, are now showing color, a few flowers being open. These are better grown a little cooler than the longiflorums. With this class it is even more essential to keep aphis at a distance, the buds being easily ruined by this pest. If the new importation of speciosums is not yet potted, they should be gotten into the soil as soon as possible. They soon lose much of their plumpness if left lying around. Pack them in sand if you cannot pot them right away. Stand the newly potted speciosums in a frame or pit where they will not be subject to fire heat. They will root better and break stronger there than in a greenhouse. Marguerites. Keep the marguerites potted alon^ before they become potbound. This is especially necessary in the case of those in small pots. These arc among the most useful of Easter decorative plants. The white varieties make especially good pot plants. The yellow sorts are some- what shy in blooming and do not make quite as shapely plants. Any which were carried over the summer in pots, which should now be a network of roots, and which have been kept in a tempera- ture of 50 degrees the last two months, should give a good Christmas crop. Feed them liberally and never allow them to become dry at the root. Some good growers let their plants root through the pots into a bed of soil and get a fine lot of midwinter flowers. Pinching may still be done to plants for Easter blooming. Marguerites are useful at Memorial day. To get nice plants at that date, there is still ample time to root and grow them along. In propagating from yellow varieties, select shoots which do not show a tendency to become blind. Asparagus Sprengeri. The demand for cut sprays of Spreng- eri will increase now, as the cooler weather comes on, and to keep up a steady succession will require a little judgment. It is best to cut over one section of a bench at a time. After re- moving the ripe shoots, cut out all which are yellow and dying. Scratch over the surface soil and, if the bed is at all impoverished, apply a top-dressing of loam and rotted cow manure. It is not a good plan to cut every shoot away from a plant; it has a weakening tend- ency. Azalea Mollis. At nearly all the better class stores Azalea mollis meets with a good sale each winter. The imported plants are the best for forcing, being usually much more heavily budded than home-grown stock. Plants carrying thirty to forty buds each in 8-inch pots make a beautiful show, and while they do not last as long as the Indian azaleas, they include some en- chanting shades of color not to be found in the latter class. Soak the balls well when received. Pot up at once if you can do so, and store where a little frost will reach the plants. Azalea mollis stands hard forcing with impunity; but with this, as with all other forced shrubs, the proper plan is to remove the plants to slightly cooler quarters as the flowers begin to open. Moschosma Riparium. Moschosma riparium, a graceful SoutH African plant, lends itself well to deco- rative effect and should make a good Christmas market variety. Anyone who has seen a nicely flowered specimen in bloom will bear testimony to its grace and beauty. For cutting, this has its limita- tions, but as a holiday plant it is excellent. If the plants were housed in September and have been given a temperature of 50 to 52 degrees at night, they should now be coming into bloom. Give them an abundant water supply and feed liberally. Do not subject them to any forcing, in an effort to hurry them along, or the flowers will drop almost as soon as they open. To see this at its best, comparatively cool treatment is necessary. Hydrangeas. All hydrangeas should now be in their winter quarters and be kept drier at the root. It is not too early to start a batch if you want them for Easter. Select such as have .the wood of a good nutty brown color. Give a good top-dressing, but do not repot. Start in a temperature of 50 degrees, spraying lightly once or twice a day until they are breaking freely. Probably a few of these early hydrangeas may not show many flower heads. From such, select a good supply of cuttings and place in the propagating house. These will make plants fit for 8-inch pots the following fall, if prop- erly grown along. Rambler Roses. Where rambler roses have been pot grown through the summer and the canes have been thoroughly ripened, a small batch can now be started in a cool house. Pick off some of the surface soil and give a top-dressing of loam and bone meal. Cut away any dead or weak wood and bend down the canes so that they will break evenly. Keep in a temperature of 40 to 45 degrees at night until the buds are well swelled, when they can be given 5 degrees more heat. Hard forcing should not be resorted to. The minimum night temperature should not exceed 55 degrees at any time, if you want first- class plants. Of course, many growers subject their plants to hard forcing, and the faded, mildewy specimens seen around many of the stores bear mute testimony to this treatment. Genistas. While Easter is the season when there is the best sale for genistas, bushy, well bloomed plants will sell at any time during the winter. If wanted in flower early in February, it is time to move the plants into a cool greenhouse. Grown along in a temperature which never ex- ceeds 50 degrees at night, genistas will keep fairly weW in a dwelling house. Those subjected to forcing are worthless.

That the chrysanthemums, also, are over in other sections accounts for the reappearance of many buyers in this marked Violets have been selling poorly. Paper Whites are overabundant. Valley, too, is plentiful and slow sale. The price on Easter lilies has gone down a notch. Sweet peas do not increase as rapidly as expected. The good ones sell well, the short-stemmed ores slowly. Freesia is in. A few poinsettias are seen, but they are hard to sell. Mignonette shows much improvement in quality, not in demand. Stevia is in great oversupply. Green goods are selling a little better; they will go nicely as soon as cut flowers become higher in price. There is in- creasing call for Farleyense. It is being used wherever nice work is needed. Christmas Prospects. The consensus of opinion among grow- ors and wholesalers is that the Christmas supply will be large, but that* the demand will be the greatest ever, so the whole- salers urge early orders, so they can get a line on the requirements. Roses, except Eichmond, are expected to equal all needs. Beauties are expected to be scarce and predictions are heard that the late buyers will pay more than the stand- ard price of $12 for long. It is said car- nations will be less abundant than a year ago, but that, other than red, there will be enough to go around. Bed can only be had by buyers who will take good lots of white. The grower who saves up white flowers for Christmas is only em- barrassing his wholesaler. Violets are expected to be less plentiful than a year ago, but the general feeling among buy- ers appears to be that they will not pay over $2 except possibly for some specially fine stock. Poinsettias will be equal to all needs; they have not sold so well of late years. Other stock will not be in special demand unless a general and un- expected shortage develops. Growers should bear in mind that the Christmas trade calls for only the high- est quality of stock; soft roses or sleepy carnations won't sell. Green and Holly. The W. W.

Ladies' Night. The greatest success in the history of the Chicago Florists' Club was its first ladies' night, held at the Union Hotel, December 2. Ninety-five were present and they gave President Kill and Messrs. Waters and Enders full credit for an affair that left nothing to be desired ex- cept another one like it. The only im- provement would be to have the ladies know each other better, which can only be accomplished by bringing them to- gether oftener. A luncheon was announced, but it proved to be an excellent dinner of six courses, after which President Kill intro- duced P. J. Foley as master of cere- monies. Save for the number by 5-year- old Gordon Phillips, a nephew of Ed Enders, the entertainment was wholly by professional vaudeville performers and was high class in every respect. Before dinner a short session of the club was held, at which nominations for next year's oflScers were presented by F. F. Benthey, chairman of the commit- tee charged with that duty. The slate is as follows: President, L. Coatsworth; vice-president, Wm. Kidwell; secretary, Louis Winterson; financial secretary, J. E. Jensen; treasurer, E. F. Winterson. Victor F. Bergman and Frank J. Paster- nick, both of Wienhoeber's staff, were proposed for membership. The collection of $128 dues was re- ported as the receipts of the evening. Among the exhibits were two fine vases of roses and a splendid plant of Begonia President Taft, the latter from J. A. Peterson of Cincinnati, whose son was present. Waban Eose Conservatories, Natick, Mass.j sent White Killarney that gave the growers a new idea of this va- riety, and Peter Keinberg sent a vase of Mrs. Field of remarkably fine color, es- pecially when compared to the pink Kil- larney used on the tables. Variotii Notes. N. J. Wietor says this has been one of the most successful seasons Wietor Bros, ever have had with Beauties. They have had a steady cut of good quality and the prices have been satisfactory. Phil Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, says he figures it will be the best Christmas ever, with a general shortage of first- class stock because of the strong de- mand. Vaughan & Sperry say the horse show this week, even though held at the stock yards, is attracting the people who wear violets. C. W. MeKellar says a fine cattleya is as good a flower, any day, as a long Beauty — worth just as much at Christmas and oftentimes worth more. December 7 Klehm's Nursery began to cut chrysanthemums!

Winterson Co. is busy with green and holly. All of the avail- able space in the basement has been given over to the women winding green, Bassett & Washburn were still cutting fine Jeanne Nonin December 7, but were about at the end of the crop. W. E. Lynch, who has charge of the cut flower department at E. H. Hunt's, has been suffering with a severe cold and has been at home a day or two this week. The Glencoe violets at Hunt's are selling much better than the eastern stock. Percy Jones says it is time to sound the customary note of warnijig against saving vip white flowers for the holiday. The greenhouse material men all say business is on the increase and pospects good for next year. Jensen & Dekema say the orders for stock of their new white carnation are (?oming in at a most gratifying rate, while the prospects are for a better sea- son than the last one on the cuttings of standard varieties. And last year was the best they ever had, in spite of the general depression. A son of J. A. Peterson came up from Cincinnati last week with a lot of plants, but found the Palmer House so crowded he could not get his usual sample room, 80 ho displayed his stock at E. C. Am- ling's and did a good trade. M. G. Holding, who is known and liked by all buyers of greenhouse glass, has filed a claim against the city for some $19,000 fees collected while serving as city oil inspector a few years ago. Arrangements have been made by Hel- ler Bros., of the South Park Floral Co., and E. C. Amling for the latter to han- dle the entire cut of the New Castle plant. The range of about 250,000 feet of glass is in Beauties, tea roses and a few carnations. A fine lot of long-stemmed White Kil- larney was on exhibition last week at the store of the A. L. Randall Co., the local agents for the Waban Rose Con- servatories, Natick, Mass., with whom this sport originated. A completely enclosed oflBce is a newly completed convenience at Peter Rein- berg's new city store. It permits the oflSce force to be comfortable while the salesroom is kept cool. Charles Cassier, of May wood, is build- ing two houses, 25x100. He is another of several graduates of the Albert Am- ling establishment who have gone into business for themselves. The E. Wienhoeber Co. had decora- tions for four coming-out parties Decem- ber 5. Saturday seems to be the favorite day for these affairs this year. Kroeschell Bros. Co. reports that the merit of its hot-water boiler is being recognized in other directions than in the greenhouse trade. Only recently it has placed several of these boilers for heat- ing stores, hotels and oflSce buildings. One of the recent orders was for an oflSce building in Vancouver, B. C, this being the third order from that city for this boiler for heating large buildings. A. L. Randall says he does not look for so many violets to reach this market as at Christmas last year, the crop being lighter now than a year ago.

He was identified with the Odd Fellows, United Workmen and other fraternal or- ganizations, and was. greatly esteemed along the North Shore. W, N. C. CXEVELAND. The Market. Last week showed a falling off in the receipts of cut flowers, especially mums, which have seen their day and soon will be a thing of the past. The shortening of all flowers is noticeable, and there will no doubt be advances in prices of all cut flowers soon. Prices so far this season have been far below those of pre- ceding years, and a stronger demand, which means better prices, will surely be welcomed by the growers. The quality of cut flowers sent in daily is above the average for this time of the year, ex- cept in Beauties, whkh are rather poor and scarce. Various Notes. Albrecht & Smith, of Erie street, re- port a good week, having had a great many large funeral orders. Milford Parks is having a fine run on his fern pans, made up of green sea- moss, having filled some large orders for out-of-town trade. The demand for Christmas greens, etc., has opened up and has the appearance of being as good as last season. The movement of violets has taken a bad drop. There was no demand for them last week. Steinbrenner & Son, of Detroit street, arc sending in a good cut of stevia to the Cleveland Cut Flower Co. George W. Mercer is a heavy buyer of Christmas greens, using large quantities for the wholesale trade. The Calla Cut Flower Co. is shipping some good carnations to this market. Visitors: Martin Reukauf, of H.

The Riling Eastern Market The cut flower market has met with a slight reverse since last week's report; nothing serious, just a check on the pre- hoUday advance. Carnations felt it most, and expected to feel it least, because everybody argued carnations would be in demand after the chrysanthemum season. Somehow the chrysanthemum season has hung on longer than expected, and carna- tions have not felt the lively demand anticipated. Nonin mums still are re- ceived in some quantity. These and the soft roses due to warm weather may account for the poor sale of white carna- tions. Violets have felt the check. It was partly their own fault, because they were^ so extremely scarce Thanksgiving week that the price was pushed up to a pro- hibitive figure for the everyday buyer. The result was a decided falling oflE in the demand. While the supply is still light, prices are less than half those of a week or ten days ago. Boses have suffered in the shorter grades, but the finer stock is selling at satisfactory prices. American Beauties are rather in oversupply, the usual early December advance in price being absent. Mrs. Jardihe is pushing to the front as a winter rose, some choice blooms of this variety running a close race with medium Beauties in size of flower, stem and foliage. The demand for the aristocratic sec- tion, in which class cattleyas and gar- denias may be placed, has fallen off, indicating that most of the debutantes have had their coming-out teas. There is still sufficient demand to keep the lim- ited supply at a high price. Sweet peas are more plentiful, pink and white being obtainable in most of the wholesale houses, while lavender is scarce. Mignonette, bouvardia and yel- low and white daisies are improving, but are not plentiful. A little myosotis has made its appearance, and snapdragon is seen here and there. The first poinset- tias are in. Wild smilax is selling well, but the tame article is not particularly sought after. There is a decided increase in shipping demands, some excellent out-of-town orders having been filled recently. The first German in Baltimore, December 7, did not create the demand expected, there being but six or eight debutantes, in place of fifty last year. The opening of congress in Washington on the same day has ceased to be a floral event, the ruling off of floral gifts from the mem- bers' desks proving the deathblow to this once popular custom. The Spiraea Situation. Astilbe or spiraea, as it is generally known, is considered one of the hardiest and cheapest of the Dutch grown roots in general cultivation. They furnish more for the money than almost any- thing else, and when well grown are extremely profitable to our florists. It is, therefore, a matter for general regret that owing to the dry summer in Hol- land, Spiraea Gladstone has proved an almost total failure. Orders for this popular variety of spiraea have been filled only partially, and the roots that have reached this country in both grades are far, far below those of last season. The two other varieties of spirssa gen- erally forced, floribunda and multiflora compacta, are fortunately in abundant supply and of excellent quality, so that fairly satisfactory substitutes for Glad- stone can be obtained. An Invitation. The essayist of the evening had just concluded and Phil was meditating on his remarks about araucarias and red neckties when a gentle voice whispered in his ear, "Won't you come and see me?" It was Godfrey Aschmann, who makes araucarias, or Christmas trees, as they are popularly called, a specialty. And as everybody wants to know the secret of Godfrey Aschmann's success, Phil at once accepted, and faithfully kept his appointment. It was striking noon before he arrived, so he planned ■■5|H5prTT' •w^"^;?' •:r'r • Decembeb 10, 1908.

But such was not the case, for Godfrey Aschmann was hard at work during luncheon time writing one of his famous cards for the Keview. He took time, however, to show his houses, crammed full of every kind of Christmas plants, and Phil divided his time between admir- ing the stock and trying to learn the owner's secret of prosperity. There were azaleas galore: Deutsche Perie, white; Simon Mardner, old rose pink; Mme. Petrick, rosy pink; Apollo, fiery red, and Vervseneana, pink and white. There were araucarias of better value than ever be- fore; there were ferns in all the popular sorts and sizes, palms, primroses, sola- nums, cool grown, sturdy; Begonia Gloire de Lorraine; in short, everything the plant-lover wants at Christmas. The new house was finished and full of azaleas; the new boiler was in, doing its duty, both house and boiler the work of the sturdy sons. But, you say, how about the secret of success? Well, it seemed to me that something of the business methods seen in our prosperous depart- ment stores had here crept into the florists' business.

The Joseph Heacoek Co. made a hand- some exhibit of its new rose pink carna- tion, Dorothy Gordon, at the December meeting of the Florists' Club. This exhibit should have been reported last week, but was inadvertently omitted. The show window of J. J. Habermehl's Sons, in the Bellevue-Stratford, was handsomely decorated with poinsettias for Thanksgiving, the first seen this season. Pennock Bros, had a handsome window display of American Beauty roses a few days ago, which was mucii admired. Julius lioehrs, Rutherford, N. J., and William J.

The Market After a few days of frost and over- coats last week, the temperature was back Monday morning, December 7, to 60 de- grees, and an April rain was falling. Nothing indicated winter but the Christ- mas trees, which are here in tens of thousands. In the wholesale cut flower market there is but little change to note. Beau- ties are abundant, and 30 cents the top; 8 cents is the extreme figure for Maids. The new varieties of roses demand a little higher figure and some of them, especially My Maryland, are growing rapidly in popularity. A comparison with last year's quota- tions at this time is interesting, inas- much as it shows an exactly similar con- dition of the market. Four cents was then, as now, the extreme top for nov- elties in carnations, and 50 cents to 75 cents for the specials was the violet quotation. Lilies had advanced to 12 cents and that ia top price now, so history repeats itself. The quality of everything is now su- perb. There is no more pickling and there will not be until Christmas. It is too soon to prophesy the holiday prices. The retail florists have had prices to suit themselves and are enjoy- ing general prosperity. The supply of cypripediums is difficult to digest daily, So many are coming in. Many of the best varieties of orchids are now arriving in goodly numbers and James McManus says that the Christmas supply will be large, although the cat- (P»nr'''3'W'!'''WlTW!W1^^ ■'V^^"'''"l"1WT'TW, ''ViTvT.'W.W-'^y'V" '^"'i*'- '^ /"'■"'■ ~ ■,">;■-.. -j^-;' ;• December 10, lOOd.

Narcissus has dropped with a thud, and stevia, both double and single, is too abundant to command appreciation. Of tlie left-over violets that reach the street brigade the less said the sooner mended. Chrysanthemums are few, and few of these are cared for. The sea- son has been a long one and there should be no complaining as they join the pro- cession of the past, and are forgotten for the season. The plant situation is decidedly health- ful. Already the stores are being stocked conservatively and handsomely with flow- ering plants. The medium sizes and prices are everywhere popular. The old days of azaleas at $50 and $100 are now but a memory. Various Notes. The Florists' Club meets December 14, the last gathering for the year, and a most important one. Secretary Young will stage and care for all exhibits, as usual. The venerable C. L. Allen, of Floral Park, will address the club on "Plant Development," and the new of- ficers will be elected. The gentlemen running for these official positions are among the cream of the membership. A fair amount of good-natured competi- tion seems assured. The end of it ■will be harmony and progress. Chairman Rickards says the season demands a tur- key collation, Thursday, December 10, by order of the court, there will be an auction of the assets of the Fleischman Floral Co., at the store at Broadway and Twenty- fifth street. A big Broadway flower store is said to have been leased to a shoe firm for occupancy immediately after Easter. The express companies have raised their rates one-fifth. The Public Serv- ice Commission bulletins 60 cents per hundred pounds, formerly 50 cents, and specifies the American and National Ex- press Companies.

The poinsettias are asserting their decorative ability in brilliant window decorations this week, and beautiful they are in plant and flower. In their setting of the new decorative ferns, they pro- duce a charming and enticing effect. The Cut Flower Exchange has ruled it wise not to open the market in the Coogan building before 7 a. m., until March 1. December 8 saw the end of a long and successful auction season. William Elliott and Ambrose Cleary deserve the rest their bronchial endurance demands. A fire in the building at 42 West Twenty-eighth street, Sunday, December 6, did much damage above J. B.

Wm. H. SiEBRECiiT, Jr., Sec'y. New York, December 2. DETROIT. The Market Keports vary concerning last week's business. With some it seems to have been unusually satisfactory. Coming-out parties have started, and will keep things lively for some of the stores for several months. Carnations commenced to pile up the latter part of the week, but this is only temporary. With the mums just about gone and the holidays near at hand, stock of all kinds will soon be scarce. Let us hope that the growers will not start pickling stock. There is nothing that so hurts the retail business as does pickled stock. Some large orders have already been placed for holly and ground pine and there is every indication that we will have a regular old-time Christmas. Cliih Meeting. Those members of the club who failed to attend the last regular meeting, on the evening of December 2, missed what was no doubt the most spirited meeting ever held. In the first place, the secretary, on behalf of the members, presented ex- President Scribner with a watch-chain and charm, not only in remembrance of his good service while in the chair, but ever since the club was started. Mr. Scrib- ner has been one of the most enthusiastic members, failing to attend the meetings only when sickness prevented. It was left to a committee of three, Messrs. Sullivan, Danzer and Plumb, to look up suitable new quarters and report at the next meeting, when, if such quar- ters can be obtained at a reasonable Hardy Cut FEBIS FIRST QUALITY.

DiJger and Sulli- van, "Should the Grower Sell to the De- partment Stores?" Mr. Dilger argued that the more flow- ers seen upon the street corners and in the stores, the greater would become the demand for our product. As an illus- tration, he pointed to the street cars, saying that before we could ride every- where we never thought about it, but now that there are car lines on nearly all streets, we must have them. Mr. Dilger also averred that the question of disposing of surplus stock is becoming more and more serious. He also stated that there are times when some grower is in immediate need of some cash and the cash offers made by some of the fakers or department stores are very tempting. Mr. Sullivan's argument was against the general principle of encouraging the street faker and the cheap sales indulged in by the stores mainly to advertise their other wares. He said that flowers should be in the same class as the fine paintings and statuary by our famous artists, and should not be peddled away below the cost of production by fakers who did not even know the names of the wares they were handling. To make a long story short, the three branches of our profession were repre- sented (grower, commission-man and re- tailer), each arguing that the other fel- low was making all the money. Variotis Notes. The Bemb Floral Co. has recently in stalled a fine cash register. W. B. Brown is well pleased with his new heating system. Steam is received from the Central Heating Co., thereby doing away with all ashes, dirt and night firing. E. A. Fetters is well pleased with busi- ness so far. He admits that it will take some time to become established, but he has already had some nice orders. Mrs. C. H. Maynard and Mrs. Wm. Dilger left for Fort Wayne, Ind., on the morning of December 8, to confer with Mrs. W. J. Vesey. president of the La- dies' Society of American Florists. They expect to be gone for several days. H.

VEGETABLES FOR CHRISTMAS. Radishes and Lettuce. The vegetable growers in the vicinity of Chicago are now making ready for the holiday harvest of radishes and let- tuce. A few growers had some cucum- ber vines which continued to bear in the fall, but the fall cucumber crop has been, AS usual, a disappointment. The dis- •eases seem to have been more disastrous this fall than ever, and many of the growers have been so completely discour- aged that they have stated that they will never again try to grow cucumbers in the fall and early winter. The majority of the vegetable growers grow lettuce and radishes in the fall and ■early part of winter, and cucumbers in late winter and spring, when the sun gets higher and conditions generally are more favorable. They say that while the profit on lettuce is not large, it is as good as •cucumbers at that time of year, when it is so diflScult to grow a paying crop of the latter. When to Plant Radish Seed. It is true that radishes are sometimes ready to sell within a month of the date of planting the seed, but it takes fine weather and good care to bring them to salable size in that length of time. Then, too, they are wanted several days before •Christmas, or whatever holiday it may be which is the occasion for the heavy de- mand and high prices. If sold through wholesale men or commission houses, as most growers market their produce, it requires time to get the vegetables to the consumer. For instance, the housewife preparing a big dinner for December 25 will buy her supplies December 24, and the grocer who supplies her will want his supply in by December 22 or 23. The commission man, therefore, should have his rush De- cember 21 and 22, with nothing doing after December 23. Therefore we should measure the weeks back from December 21 instead of December 25, and the grower who was wise enough to get his radish seed planted five or more weeks before that date will have better radishes and less worry in hurrying the crop along. Forcing a crop along, in order to hasten it a few days, is often the ■cause of more trouble from diseases than is any other act of mismanagement. It is always easier to hold a crop back a -week or more than to hurry it along that much. The Favorite Variety. Eadish seed for forcing in greenhouses should be the best obtainable. The Scar- let Globe Short Top Forcing is the gen- eral favorite and really the only type suitable for midwinter. It is a great mistake to try to use up a few pounds of old seed of some left-over stock. A few cents saved in this way will cost many dollars when it comes to counting up after the harvest. Buy the best and of the most reliable seedsmen. It is money well spent. Kadishes should always be sown in rows. Plant them about half an inch apart in well-prepared soil and, when sprouted, thin them out to about an inch or an inch and a quarter apart, selecting the weaker plants to pull up. The rows should be about four and one-half to five inches apart. Except for the watering, no other work is necessary after the thinning out until they are ready to pull and bunch. They should be tied twelve in a bunch, washed, and set upon a bench with tops up, as they grow until ready to pack. The water will drain off and dry the leaves more quickly and they will be less liable to heat in the boxes if left a while be- fore packing. It requires about eight weeks from seed to make good, salable lettuce. The seed should be started in flats, once trans- planted and planted out in the beds not later than Thanksgiving. Head lettuce requires about two weeks more time than the Grand Bapids variety. The Right Temperature. A night temperature of 45 degrees suits both radishes and lettuce nicely, with a rise of about 10 to 15 degrees in the day- time, depending on how bright the day is. Some growers ruu their houses at a lower temperature and some higher. The higher temper£(,ture is pardonable in some cases, but the lower the tempera- ture the better the quality of the vege- tables. There are many things to take into consideration in regard to the right temperature for different cases, but when in doubt as to which to use, it is always safer to take the lower temperature. Few greenhouse men keep their houses cool enough or properly ventilated. H. G. NEW BEDFORD. MASS. Last week was a little better for cut flower trade. Funeral work is good, using up lots of short stock. Prices remain about the same as usual. Mums are nearing the end. This has been rather an unsatisfactory year for them in regard to prices. E. Y. Peirce has a fine batch of Lor- raine begonias, which sell well. His car- nations and roses are looking well. Ashley & Heuberger's place is in first- class shape. Their carnations are good. From all appearances there will be a good supply of carnations for Christmas. W. L. NEW ORLEANS. Outside of a few decorations for balls, and some funeral orders, business is dull. A long spell of dry weather, with a few light frosts, has given a dull appearance to our gardens, and it seems, as if it will be only the return of spring that will bring a new life to the trade. Every place is full of stock in' anticipation of a good demand when the season opens. George Sanford, who grows a large VEfiETABLE SEEDS FOR FORCING "Stokea* Standarda" are always the finest strains.

Chrysanthe- mums have disappeared, so far as good stock is concerned. There are still a few small ones coming in, but they are not in much demand. Beauties and lilies have been quite plentiful, so that there has "beeu no scarcity of long-stemmed flowers. Carnations and roses are in good crop and there has been plenty of everything else, so there has been no complaint about shortage of stock. Among the retail shops there has been more complaint, as they are not having the usual run of decorations; not many weddings and fewer debutante affairs. While the small trade keeps up pretty well, it does not amount to anything like the business they have been accustomed to do in December. In the markets they have the same general complaint; trade has not the life. Qttb Meeting. The Florists' Club met December 2, with a good attendance. President Burki called on the committee having charge of the gratuity for John Jones, and William Falconer presented Mr. Jones with a handsome traveling bag, contain- ing a case of toilet articles. Mr. Jones accepted the gift in his usual modest way. The subject for the evening was Christ- mas plants and novelties and there was a handsome display. Mr. Hutchinson, gardener for Dr. Schaffer, took first prize on Cypripedium insigne. Frank Crooks, gardener for J. H. Parks, received a certificate of merit for Dracaena Sanderi- ana. David Fraser, gardener for H. C. Frick, was first for poinsettia. James Weissman, gardener for D. M. Clemson, took first prize for Begonia Lorraine. Both Schenley apd North Side park had displays of begonias and cyclamens which were exceptionally fine. H. H. Wegley gave a talk on poinset- tias, and told of some things he had seen in his travels. E. C. Reinemann reported for those who had attended the national flower show. Another field day was arranged for Thursday, December 10, when the club and its friends will visit the Pittsburg Rose & Carnation- Oo., at Bakerstown. Various Notes. - Fritz Ueberle has opened a store at 408 Federal street for the holidays, and it may be continued if it proves a success. Joseph M. Jones has the sympathy of his many friends in the death of his father. Mr. Jones, St., was pretty well known by the trade, and died after only two days' illness. He was buried from the home of his son. A. W. Smith has been fortunate in se- curing a vacant store which connects with the rear of his store and opens on Smithfield street. It gives him an en- trance from two streets, with plenty of room to take care of his holiday trade. William Cromack, of Irwin, Pa., has been on the sick list for several weeks, and is only able to be out of bed. Visitors: Mr. Murchie, Jr., Sharon, Pa.; Arthur Langhans and Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Red berries are seen everywhere and, with the advent of a few days' frost, the quality of them has increased wonderfully. Considerable Oregon grape is being sent into town from Oregon and bids fair to be more SAN FRANCISCO. ThcMacket Business is quiet at present. There has been hardly anything doing since Thanks- giving, and, from the indications now, it is the intention of the buying public to hold on to their spare ducats until a few days before Christmas. The weather has turned colder and this has had the effect of making flowers scarcer than they have been at any time this fall. The outside mums, upon which the retailers place most of their trust at this season, were the first to become scarce. Following these were the roses, and now even carnations are short in crop. The prices, however, do not show much advance; probably twenty per cent in the last two weeks will about cover it. Should there be any revival of business, however, we can look for higher rates on short notice. Outside stock has practically disap- peared, with the exception of mums. A few narcissi, also, are seen in the shops. Violets have advanced slightly in price popular than ever as a decorative mate- rial. Over in Oakland and Alameda the re- tailers have the same complaint to make aboirt the quality and quantity of trade. Everyone, however, appears to be san- guine regarding the business that will be done within the next few weeks. Various Notes. J. M. Wiesel, representing the Bar- teldes Seed Co., of Denver, Colo., is in town, visiting the local seedsmen. Gerard Meyer has sold his interest in the Holland Nursery Co., of Elmhurst, to the surviving partners, G. A. Van Linge and J. M. Noordink. The store of H. M. Sanborn, on Four- teenth street, Oakland, was burglarized on the evening of November 29. The place was thoroughly ransacked, but noth- ing of value was taken.

CALIFORNIA RED BERRIES. -Whenever the winter frosts first make their appearance on the Pacific coast, the California red berry, Heteromeles arbuti- folia, takes on sufficient color to make it an object sought for by the buying pub- lic. Up to Thanksgiving the weather with us had been very mild, and what few berries were seen were neither bright nor glossy enough, but since then a few nights' frost in the mountains has col- ored them well. It is surprising how many tons of these are sold in San Francisco every day. One firm alone, that handles green goods only, distributes about twenty tons weekly to the various florists. There are many com- mission houses dealing in them also, and this bids fair to be a banner year in the amount brought into town. These berries are indigenous to the en- tire central and northern portions of California. They grow best in localities situated somewhat back from the ocean breezes, and attain the largest size where there is plenty of water to keep them in a growing condition throughout the sum- mer. The berries that grow near the coast are of smaller siie and less highly colored, and if there has been much foggy weather they turn a disagreeable shade of red, which renders them unfit for selling. The constant cutting of the best quality has made them scarce in places that are easy of access and the pickers have to keep going farther away each year from the haunts of civilization ,in quest of salable bunches. The trees are of rather slow growth and, when thor- oughly denuded, do not bear again heav- ily for several years. The berries are cut with stems about eighteen inches long and packed in crates, care being taken that they are not packed too wet or too tightly. When sold in the San Francisco markets, they net the growers about $50 per ton. The retailers usually pay about twice the price, allow- ing the middlemen and the transportation companies to have the balance. The land on which they grow is usually devoted to grazing or to timber culture, and many thousands of dollars are dis- tributed among the country people weekly during the months of December, January and February, by the wholesale dealers in green goods. G. Wellsville, O. — W. A. Herbert says business has improved greatly in the last month.

Sluis Seed Stoee, Chicago, is a new firm making a bid for the market gar- den trade southwest of the city. The location is 644 West Sixty-third street, and the proprietors are N. Sluis, his brother, John Sluis, and their nephew, .James Sluis. The seed trade is practically unani- mous in endorsing the idea of spocific rather than ad valorem duties, and there is reasonable prospect of the change be- ing made. It looks as though the Ways and Means committee, now engaged in drafting a new tariff bill, would welcome an opportunity to do something to the present schedules, providing it does not involve radical change in rates. Secretary James Wilson, of the De- partment of Agriculture, is said to be highly pleased with the results of the work of the Department in securing and testing samples of grass seeds, in accordance with the act of Congress providing for such tests. It is said the publication of unfavorable results has caused adulteration of forage plant seeds practically to cease, except in the case of Kentucky blue grass and orchard grass, many adulterated lots of which still are found.

Since the beginning of the season prices have gone up steadily, and further rises can be expected." As to Poa pratensis, the smooth-stalked meadow grass, he says : ' ' The first ship- ments from America are now coming in to be dressed and graded.

From a Grower's Point of View. I have read with interest your quota- tion from the Rural New-Yorker, with comment, in the Review of November 12, under the caption of "Place to Buy Seeds. ' ' The present writer has been for twenty years an extensive grower of vegetables, and for the last five years a grower of seeds, and we think we are in a position to write on this subject with at least a degree of intelligence. From our viewpoint, the solution which the Rural New-Yorker gives to the vex- ing problem, "Place to Buy Seeds," namely, "dealing only with those firms who are most conservative in their state- ments and have a reputation for fair dealing," fails to meet the case in ques- tion. Let it be known here that, by "firms," reference is made to seed houses. The loss to the planter from bad seed is the exception, not the rule, and it is this occasional loss that the planter has to guard against. Now, it was our experience as planters that we had this occasional loss while dealing with seed dealers who had a repu- tation for fair dealing. We were driven to the conclusion, therefore, that the seed dealer had been imposed upon by the seed grower, and our experience as seed growers has confirmed this opinion. It is natural and, we believe, justi- fiable for the seed dealer to buy seeds as cheaply as possible, and this fact fur- nishes the seed grower with the incentive to grow cheap seed, so aa to be able to compete with his fellow seed grower in price. Thus the interests of the planter are lost sight of. A seed grower bought culls — sprouted out onions — of the commission merchants of his city for 10 cents a sack, planted them and had a large crop of seed, which lie sold for a large profit.

Roses potted up in the Fall or late Winter become better established and force better, and are far more satisfactory in every way, and you can retard or force at your leisure. We recommend the American-grown " Ramblers." Don't attempt to force imported Ramblers; the general experience is that they are failures.

The seed grower had his profit on this seed; the seed dealer, who bought it for some specific variety, had his profit, but the planter, who had a market for some particular variety, had to stand the loss. This instance, with many others of like character that have come under our observation, makes us wonder that the planter gets good seed as often as he does, and leads to the conclusion that the planter has a right to know, and should insist on knowing when, where and by whom the seed he orders is grown. And the seed dealer who evades or re- fuses to answer such inquiry, or to put his answer in writing if asked to do so, is not entitled to the confidence of the planter. R. W. Laughlin. OPERA BOUFFE GRASS. Hommo Ten Have is the somewhat unusual name of a seed merchant and contract grower at Westerlee, Holland. Possibly to heighten the opera bouffe effect of his patronymic, he offers the trade a new forage grass under the name Lolium Western Woldicum, or Western Wolths grass. Of this he says: ' * This new grass was discovered in the County of Westerwolde, near the Ger- man frontier, growing on poor, sandy soil. Its value was first demonstrated by a laborer who took measures to have it grown separately from other sorts. The agricultural world owes this humble man a debt of gratitude for the intro- duction of this valuable plant, and there is little doubt that if it had come into the possession of a more influential agri- culturist it would, ere this, have been more widely known and cultivated. "In appearance the seed cannot be distinguished from Italian ryegrass, but Western Wolths grass is strictly an an- nual plant, whereas Italian ryegrass may remain in the soil for two or three years. It far surpasses Italian in the rapidity of its growth and weight of herbage. On good soils when topdressed with nitrate of soda it may be cut five or six times during a single summer. ' ' It will thrive on almost all soils, but the best results have been had on heavy The Crego Aster "The Best in the Market" After having demonstrated, by actual competition in the open market, that it has fully earned its title as ** Tbe Best in the Market," the CREGO ASTER is again offered to the trade, with the positive assurance that it has ** made good." A SATISFIED GROWER Near St. Paul, Minn., writes under date of September 15th: "The germination of tbe seed purchased from you last Bpring was the best I ever saw, apparently every seed producing a plant. I gave the best possible cultivation and saw the results about the first of September, when they com- menced to bloom. They were perfectly magnificent. At our annual flower show I entered the CREGO ASTER in seven different classes, and took the first prize in every instance. My asters were in a class by themselves, and a local florist, who was one of the judges, said they were the floesthe had ever seen, and he offered to buy my crop at from $5.00 to $7.00 per 100." NEW CROP SEED Grown in the rich soil, temperate climate and long season of Oregon, will do as well in the hands of any good, careful grower. While very short in quantity, this new seed is decidedly 'Moog** in quality and vitality, and will produce a big crop of dollars for the florist whose business eye-sight is sharp enough to recognize a good thing when it is offered to him. Orders are coming in already, and those who order early will run the least risk of being disappointed. In colors I offer White, Shell-pink and Rose-pink.

Experiments are nn progress, accord- ing to the Gardeners' Magazine, for test- ing the longevity of seeds. A given number of seeds of certain plants are buried in a jar each year, and at stated intervals these will be uncovered, and some tested for germinating power, and the rest put back for further tests. Speaking broadly, the limit of the germinating power of the commoner gar- den seeds, in years, is as follows: As- paragus, 6; bean, 3; beet, 6; borecole, 6; broccoli, 6; cabbage, 7; cardoon, 8; carrot, 4 or 6; cauliflower, 6; celery, 7; chervil, 3; chicory, 8; cress, 5; cucum- ber, 9; endive, 10; gourds, fancy, 6; kohlrabi, 5; leek, 4; lettuce, 5; melon, 7; mustard, black, 4; mustard, white, 4; onion, 2; parsnip, 2; parsley, 3; pea, garden, 3; pumpkin, 6; radish, 5; rhubarb, 3; sage, 3; salsify, 2; seakale, 2; spinach, 5; thyme, 3; tomato, 4; tur- nip, 5 ; vegetable marrow, 6.

The Davenport Nursery Co., Daven- port, la., has rented a downtown store for December to sell Christmas trees. A. M. Klemm is known as the father of the citrus fruit growing industry at Winter Haven, Fla. He started his nur- sery there sixteen years ago and now has 120 acres in use. He formerly was a florist in New York and Washington. The offices of the Wooster Nursery Co., Wooster, O., will be changed, in the near future, to the building on the farm recently purchased by T. E. Ewing, near that city. A Wooster store Avill be maintained by the company, however. A new greenhouse is being erected at the Ewing farm and will assist greatly in the work of the nursery. RHODODENDRONS AND AZALEAS Will 3'ou kindly tell me the proper distance apart to plant rhododendrons and Azalea mollis? F. T. Everything depends on the size of the plants to be set out. If quite large specimens are used they may require as much as five to six feet each way. As a rule, rhododendrons averaging a foot and a half in height are used. It is better to plant these fairly 'close, say three and one-half feet each way, so that the tops will come rather close to- gether and make a natural shade for the .soil. The general plan is to plant in tiiis way and thin out before they be- come too crowded. Of course, the ground must ho well mulched all tlie time, to keep tlie roots cool and moist. Azalea mollis, being a much slower grower than the rhododendrons, should be planted closer. In the ease of such stock as is usually imported or sent out from the nurseries, the plants can stand two feet jjpart each way for a rear or two, removing every other one when they begin to crowd. C. W. LEAD CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. Nurserymen should lead by beautify- ing their own premises, by planting va- rious kinds of trees, evergreens and per- ennial flowering plants, properly put out ; and nurserymen should know how to do this, and where certain trees, etc., will HILL'S TREES GROW!

Description of Our New White Carnation GEORGIA The color of Georgia is a pure white with large and beautifully fringed flowers measurine as lariie as four inches, with a very full center, which gives it a good form. The stem holds the flower up at all times, giving long steins early in the season, as we have a bouse in bloom where tne stems at the present time, Sep- tember 15, average 2( inches in length. The growth Ih ideal, having the dark green cast that all growers like. The plants are *iuick to recover after planting from the field and produce as many or more flowers than Enchantress. It has stood the necessary test as to its shipping and keeping qualities and has been satisfactory in every case, although we have shippef' it as far west as Missouri and as far south as Florida. It has been called by all who have seen It the finest Avhite yet put on the market, as it is as wonderful in ({uantity as it is in ,'ew York and Washiugtun.

To further meet the demands of its business the company has secured quar- ters at 20 Laura street, which will be fitted up as a modern store, something that will be equal to anything in the south.

Although the supply shortened up last week, business was nothing to brag about, even at reduced prices. Qub Meeting:* The monthly meeting of the local club took place December 3, and even though special notices had been issued, calling attention to the annual election of offi- cers, the attendance was not as great as it ought to have been. Due to the enterprising entertainment committee, the treasurer's report showed a surplus for the past year, in spite of their liberal treats after each meeting. The result of the elections was as fol- lows: President, 0. Dallwig; secretary, M. P. Vallier, reelected; vice-president, d. Rusch; treasurer, J. G. Heitman; trustee for three years, G. Baerman. Jn electing Mr. Dallwig for president, the club showed its appreciation of the interest he took in the club's affairs and the faithful way he served three years as secretary and two years as treasurer. Al- though he belongs to the younger ele- ment, he is a man who thinks much and says little, and then, when he expresses his well worded opinions, he commands the attention of his listeners; He is as- sociated with W. E. Dallwig, at 34 Ju- neau avenue. G. Rusch, the vice-president, is a very active member and has served the club faithfully in the past. Various Notes. A number of enterprising La Crosse, "Wis., florists are about to organize a florists' club, and to this end John C. Spalinger, of that city, has asked for a copy of the constitution and by-laws of our local club. John Nolan, the Boston landscape arch- itect, arrived December 1, to look over the city and to address the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association on the subject of city planning. He also spoke of city approaches, the water front of Milwaukee, streets, play grounds, parks and boulevards, illustrating these with lantern slide views. A fire visited the establishment of Schneck & Bliese, Waukesha, Wis., on the Saturday night after Thanksgiving and wiped out the whole shed adjoining the north side of their two old greenhouses, putting these houses out of commission for some time and damaging all stock therein.

The Market. Business last week was good. Stock in nearly all lines moved well. Mums are about gone. Some few may still be seen in the downtown stores, but a week or two more will finish them up. Quantities of carnations were cut half open last week, to supply the demand. There are plenty of roses at present, and they move fairly well. Violets sell well, but the quality is not first-class yet. Some stevia and sweet peas are now on the market. Narcissi, callas and Roman hyacinths are used in funeral work. Green goods are plentiful, with the exception of smilax. Various Notes. Ed. Crowder is now with J. A. Keller, at the greenhouses on Sixth street. S. S. Kelley has a house of good carna- tions and a fine batch of callas. He also has a good lot of stevia. Mr. Kelley is the only florist here who grows stevia and he finds a good demand for it. The Michler Bros. Co. has a good bench of poinsettias that will be about right for Christmas. William Bell has a good out-of-town trade and does a good deal of funeral work. Anderson & White are busy propagat- ing geraniums and other spring stock. This firm does a big business in spring plants, setting out thousands of plants every spring in the cemeteries. Another greenhouse is being built at the State University, adjoining the Hor- ticultural building. The university now has several greenhouses on the grounds. J. A. Keller will have some good aza- leas and cyclamens for Christmas and the holidays. August Leclere, the florist and land- scape gardener at the asylum on Fourth street, is busy with outside work. Joe Leclere, his son, is now located in Ver- sailles, Ky. Lucien Leclere has been shipping some nice cut flowers and plants out of town. He also received a good lot of stuff from Tennessee last week.

Mention The Review when you write. THE BALSAM-FLOWERED AZALEA. There are several beautiful and use- ful azaleas that once received specific rank, but which now are regarded as well marked varieties of Azalea Indica. One of the distinct varieties is A. Indica balsaminseflora. It has also been known as Azalea Kollisoni because a firm of that name brought the plant into promi- nent notice, and, indeed, introauced it to general cultivation. Another name, and one that is still quite commonly used for this azalea, is A. rosseflora, ac- cording to the Gardeners' Magazine. The two names — balsaminseflora and rosaeflora — are both descriptive of the double, compact blooms that the plant so freely produces. The flowers are of medium size, finely doubled, and the mar- gins of the petals recurve a little, so that each bloom has a neat appearance. 9\a The Weekly Florists^ Review* Dbcbmbbs 10, 1008. peacock's ^entias Our stock consists of strong, well-established, healthy home-s^rown flants.

It was rendered unusually dull for several days last week by the sudden cold wave, ac- companied by a strong west wind. Eoses are a little off crop, while the end of the mums is in sight, so that there has been no surplus of any moment. Christmas trees and greens are already in the market, so that the city is be- ginning to put on its holiday appearance. Some orders are being booked and in- quiries are being freely made. Another week will see the holiday business in full swing. Various Notes. L. L. May & Co. threw open their re- tail store to a church sale one day last week. Aprons in the show window and needlework on the counters looked strangely out of place with roses, carna- tions and violets. Holm & Olson had two large decora- tions at the leading club last week. Southern smilax and mums constituted the bulk of the material. President Wirth, of the State Florists' Association, announces that he has the plans ready for the proposed floral build- ing at the State Fair grounds. The plans will be shown at the next meeting of the association, to be held in the new hall on Snelling avenue, near University, on Tuesday, December 15. Cards received a few days ago an- nounce the marriage of Otto A. Will, of Will Bros., Minneapolis, and Miss Florence Keeling, of Caldwell, Kan., De- cember 2. His many friends in the trade extend hearty congratulations. William Topel, formerly with E. A. Latham, Minneapolis, is in charge of a flower stand for Will Bros., in a local department store. A. H. Bunde, one of the pioneers in the business here, has succeeded the Capital Floral Co., on Wabasha street. Visitors last week were as follows: J. McHutchison, of New York; John Tegelaar and John Guldemond, of Lisse, Holland; T. Mellstrom, of New York, representing Sander & Son, of Bruges, Belgium, and St. Albans, England ; P. H.

I have traded for a fire-box boiler, twelve feet long and forty-two inches in diameter. It has forty 3-inch flues, nine feet long, and a steam drum two feet high. The grate is 42x48 inches. Please tell me how many feet of glass this boiler will heat economically, with low pressure steam, here in northern Kentucky. Is a check valve necessary for low pressure steam? G. O. K. Such a boiler should be able to handle about 18,000 square feet of expansion on a 50-degree basis. The boiler has surface enough to provide steam for about 2,500 square feet of radiation, and this should maintain a temperature of 50 degrees in your climate in about 18,000 square feet of exposure, figuring roof, ends and sides exposed. If the water line of the boiler is four feet or more below the radiating pipes in the greenhouses, check valves will not be necessary. I prefer to install them, how- ever, in most plants, unless a water leg is used to seal the boiler. L. C. C. WRONG LOCATION OF FLOW. As we are having some diflSculty with our heating plant, I beg to ask you for information as to what you think is wrong with it. Our greenhouses are built on a slope and we have one house running north and south, which is 125 feet long. Our boiler is situated in the south end, which is five feet lower than the north end of the greenhouse. The steam is carried to the top end through a 3^-inch pipe, which supplies the re- turn pipes from the north end of the greenhouses. There are sixteen 1%-inch heating pipes in this house, 25x125 feet.

Now, where our trouble lies is this: When we carry four or five pounds of steam, water seems to disappear from the boiler and it seems to force up in the pipes at the highest point in the green- houses. Do you think this 3% -inch main is large enough to feed sixteen 114-inch returns, and do you think that, with the high pressure of steam — that is to say, five or six pounds — the water will run back through the main against the steam?

Put the highest point in the flow pipe at the south end of the house instead of at the north. The 3 1^ -inch flow pipe is larger than necessary for sixteen 1^4 -inch returns. A 21/^ -inch flow will do the work. With the changes suggested, you should be able to use up to fifteen pounds of pressure with safety. The higher temperatures make the plant coi^siderably more eflfective and can often be used during cold snaps with great satisfac- tion. L. C. C.

Stock was not overplenti- ful, and if it were not for that fact we would have a good sized glut on.

Now it is just the reverse, and under these conditions we cannot ex- pect prices to average very high. There is quite a variety of stock com- ing in now. Fine roses and carnations are to be had in almost any quantities. There are fine Beauties also.

Stevia is a good Selling article at this time of the year. ""Mums are scarcely to be con- sider«d now. There are a good many of them coming in yet, but they are now a side issue and there is not so much call for them. The Christmas green goods men are now right in it. Holly seems to be good this year and there is no indica- tion of its being at all scarce. Other greens are in equally good supply. Various Notes* A meeting of the Florists' Society will be held Saturday, December 12. The meetings are full of interest now, owing to the coming convention of the S. A. F. There are many subjects to be talked over, and the greater the number of members present, the more ideas are brought forward. Those members who do not attend the meetings are simply missing something which they have a right to have. It is their loss, so they are urged to make the effort to be present. The death of Mrs. H. A, Kresken re- moved from our midst one of the oldest of the lady florists in our city. She had been engaged in the retail business for years at 803 Vine street, and was well known and respected among the craft. Her death occurred December 2, and December 5 her body was converted to ashes at the Cincinnati crematory. Her funeral was attended by many in the trade, and the number and beauty of the floral tributes sent gave one an idea of her many friends, both in and out of the trade. Orders are already being booked for Christmas, which, by the way, is but two weeks away. It seems to be coming down upon us with a rush this year. We ought to be able to do a good busi- ness then, if we can only get the stock to do it with. William Nicholson, of Framingham, Mass., was a caller, accompanied by Fred Lemon, of Eichmond, Ind. R.

The weather this fall has been grand here for outdoor work, with no rain, snow or frost yet. Various Notes. Dan Coughlin, gardener for E. R. Morse and also secretary of the Horticultural Society, is confined to the Newport hos- pital with typhoid fever. Wadley & Smythe, of New York, have moved some large trees on Mrs. W. B. Lead's place and are generally overhaul- ing the place. They are doing the same at J. W. Wysong's place. Oscar Schultz has been very busy this fall; in fact, it has been the best fall he has ever had in landscape work. He has just completed moving some large trees of Retinospora plumosa and a large Nor- way maple, moving them into Mrs. Rich- ard Gambrill's place, over a 9- foot wall — SEA M;L E SS— MOULDED CONSTRUCTION * '■•**■'■■*"'' \ \ • ; i THE ■ ■' ' '■;!: '• - ^^^^^^m k, THE "REEL ' Bk ^^^H m ^ GARDEN GOODS 'S ^^HU HOSE ^^^^H ^^^^^^^^mJ^SSf^^^^^k THAT LIGHT ;S ^^^H WITHSTANDS STRONG fl ^^^H ^^^^^mk^^^^ ^^M b ABUSE FLEXIBLE fl ^^^^1 ^^Hl^^^s^^fl^ r NON-KINKING ^ ^^ f YOUR SUPPLY MAN CAN FURNISH IT REVERE RUBBER COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURG MINNEAPOLIS NEW ORLEANS SAN FRANCISCO CHICAGO PORTLAND.

With the handy "Bllizard" 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 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 bo 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 rattling. It is made of Blizzard Cloth and will last as long as the top. Why risk the dangers of exposure— Rheuma- tism, Colds, Pneumonia? Why not drive in comfort? The "Blizzard" Front sells for $3.50.

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 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 ha^e your money refunded. These cutters are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and contain a removable blade.

Will some wise florist tell us how to grow Amaryllis Belladonna successfully? J. J. L. From Washiugton, D. C, southward this beautiful amaryllis succeeds well out- doors in warm, sheltered spots, if planted eight inches deep. In the colder states pot or frame culture is necessary. We find they succeed better grown several bulbs together in 10-ineh or 12-inch pots, rather than in the smaller sizes. Four large bulbs are as many as can well be used in a 10-inch pot. For compost, fibrous loam, dried cow manure and sand are suitable. Good drainage must be af- forded. Bulbs should be placed in the soil just sufficiently so that they will stand firm. A cool, sunny house is best to grow them in. After the end of May gradually reduce the water supply and, as the foliage becomes yellow, lay the pots on their sides in a sunny spot to ripen off. Give no water at all during summer. In September and October the spikes will appear, when they should be housed and treated as previously suggested. Fre- quent repotting is not desirable, these bulbs flowering better when well pot- bound. One or two successful growers plant the bulbs in frames built of brick, keep- ing them there all the time. Treated in this way, wonderfully fine spikes are produced. The soil should be allowed to get quite dry in summer, which, of course, can be done by leaving the sashes in, some ventilation being left on all the time to prevent the frame getting too hot. One form of the Belladonna lily, Amaryllis Hallii, also known as Lycoris squamigera, is perfectly hardy in New York and New England and ought to winter outside in Ohio, with a little cov- ering after freezing up weather. C. W. Andeeson, Ind. — Stuart & Haugh held their annual flower show November 19, 20 and 21. They had made greater preparations for the event than ever be- fore.

Our 40th Christmas I- "^ < HORTY years ago, a short time before Christmas, this business was started, and each succeeding year has seen an increase in the amount of sales, until today we have customers and friends in all parts of this great cotintry . We want to ex- tend to you all the cheery Christmas greeting: " We wish you a merry Xmas." During the past year there was a scarcity of business in most lines, but the florists have held their own, and indications for next year are very bright. People are beginning to know the value of flowers; they are coming to appreciate them more; they are buying them and using them more than ever before. The sale of the florists' product must increase and the product, likewise, must be increased to supply the greater demand. Whether this is your first Christmas in business, or your fortieth one, don't let it pass without planning something for next year; something bigger and better than before. It is the nature of all things to grow that have life, and the business that stands still is dead. Enjoy the Christmas good cheer, but don't forget the new greenhouse and the bigger business. Write us when^ou build and we'll help you all we can to plan the house. Why not take the time now to send for the 96 page catalogue? That's the first step. JOHN C. IHONINGER CO., mi^^^ Chicago R. H.

"Replying to your favor requesting our experience with Pecky Cypress, we will say, we have been using this grade of Cypress in our Greenhouses and plant benches for the last ten or tw^elve years and so far have not found any of this wood that has all rotted out. We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock only lasted about four years, while so far we have had no Pecky Cypress rot out in ten or twelve yeais. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose. BA8SETT & WASHBURN." Ask your dealer for Louisiana Red Cypress and if he hasn't got it, get him to write us, or w^rite us yourself. nip |ED OYPBESS copiPiniY -OF NKW ORLEANS- J. A. HILLIARD, Sec ]f iii 6ii'l Mgr.

The Weekly Florists' Review* MY MARYLAND. It is seldom that a new rose makes so pronounced a hit in its first season as has been made by John Cook's introduc- tion of last season. Every grower who bought My Maryland this year is enthu- siastic in its praise, and those who only have seen it growing have pretty nearly one and all made up their minds to plant it next season. There are those who as- sert that My Maryland will displace Bridesmaid and even Killarney, and have the field in pink roses almost to itself. While these predictions can hardly be called conservative, still there is no doubt My Maryland is a right good thing. TJie accompanying illustration is probably the first ever published, showing a houst of it. The photograph was taken last week at the establishment of Heller Bros., the South Park Floral Co., New Castle, Ind., where the variety is doing as well as elsewhere. It is not easy to get a picture of any considerable quan- tity of My Maryland in bloom — because those who have the plants are cutting them down for propagating purposes. Next year everyone will have it. KAISERIN WITH OTHER ROSES. Having a crop of Kaiserin on the plants at the present time, what tempera- ture should they be carried at to finish, the temperature having been carried at 65 degrees up to the present time! We also have Richmond, Kate Moulton and Killarney in the same house. Will 56 degrees be too low? G. W. F. Kaiserin requires at least 65 degrees to make it profitable, and as this tem- perature would be unsuitable for the other stock, you will have to make a sacrifice. If your house contains more Kaiserin than other varieties it may pay to run it for the Kaiserin, but it is not a very satisfactory rose for win- ter work, wMle the others are. A night temperature of 56 to 58 degrees is just right for your other varieties. Ribes. CHIN CHIN CHINA. Chin Chin China is the name given by Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham, England, to a pure yellow China rose, a sport from Mme. Eugene Resal. It is perpetual flowering and extremely useful for dec- orative and bedding purposes. The flow- ers are clear sulphur yellow and retain their color to the finish. Rose culture is a leading feature of the firm, having been considerably developed during re- cent years. Beb. REMEDY FOR WHITE FLY. I have many white flies in my green- house and have tried many remedies, but have failed. Please let me know what to use to kill them and how to use it. G. S. The most effective, in fact, the only real remedy for this pest, that I know of, is fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas. The methods of fumigation have often been given in the Review. Consult the issue of October 8, 1908, page 14, where explicit directions will be found. You will also find some reference to the pest and the best way of combating it in almost every issue of the Review. To ascertain the cubic area of your house, multiply the length (in feet) by the breadth and this again by the average into bloom earlier than others. We sup- pose your plants are hybrids of R, Cataw- biense, such as are usually grown for out- door planting and to a lesser degree for indoor culture. Such plants should be potted firmly as soon as received, well soaked with water and placed in a pit where they are just clear of freezing, or in a cold greenhouse. In a temperature of 50 degrees at night it will take you eight to nine weeks to get them into flower for Easter. In a temperature of 60 degrees this time can be reduced nearly one-third. In the lower tempera- ture they will, however, have more sub- stance than if grown warm. Spraying overhead once or twice a day should be followed until the flowers begin to show. Never allow the plants to become dry at the root and when open remove to a cool, shaded house. Easter, 1909, comes on April 11. If you place your plants in heat in the mid- dle of January they will be in season, or if in a warmer house this can be delayed until early in February. C. W. SOCIETY OF IOWA FLORISTS.

There are probably as many differ- ently constructed benches for the rooting of cuttings as there are styles of houses in which carnations are grown, and it will be observed that the leading grow- ers are quick to avail themselves of any improvement in house construction which will raise the quality of their product. The growing of carnations does not, however, depend wholly upon the style of house, and among the many details which combine to produce more than "just ordinary" results, are those con- cerning the appliances by which the cuttings are rooted. Of these it will be sufficient, at this time, to mention the bench proper, as perhaps it is necessary to repair the old one, or a new one is in mind, and the time is not far off when propagation will begin in earnest. Advantages of the Brick Bottom. The construction of this form of bench has been so frequently described by Mr. Baur and myself that it seems only necessary to repeat that its bottom consists of common brick laid flat, with sides and ends of the same material, on edge, cemented to the bottom, and sup- ports of wood or iron as may suit the fancy. Its advantages, however, I desire to urge again on readers of the Review, for the more this style of bench is used the more one is convinced of its peculiar adaptability to the carnation. The drainage being perfect in all parts, there is no possibility of an over- supply of moisture in the sand. The capacity of the bricks lor absorbing heat from the pipes beneath acts as an equal- izer in imparting it to the sand. Since the material will not rot, there is no chance of the sand becoming contami- nated by decayed wood, even after the bench has seen years of service. It can be built by any gtbwer at no ^eat ex- ■pense and, once installed, will last a life- time. Before filling with sand, the brick should receive a coat of whitewash, to which has been added a small quantity of flowers of sulphur while slaking the Itme. This wash is preferably applied hot, and with a lavish hand. Now, this is by no means the only bench in which carnation cuttings can be rooted, but it is the ideal one, and "just ordinary" results fail to suit lov- ers of the divine flower, Geo. S. Osbokn. CARNATION MARCHIONESS. The accompanying illustration is from a not very good photograph, taken in one of the greenhouses of the late L. E. Marquisee, at Syracuse, N. Y. The vari- ety grown in the house is the new white carnation, Marchioness, which originated with Mr. Marquisee four years ago, and the dissemination of which he was plan- ning at the time of his death. The plants in this house were lifted from the field August 23 and the photograph was taken in the latter part of October. The pho- tograph does not do justice to the vari- ety, because there was evidence, in the number of flowering shoots per plant, of an enormous crop to be on for some time after the picture was taken. The flow- ers are full and average frbm three to three and one-half inches in diameter. One of the points which appealed to Mr. Marquisee four years ago, \vhen he first began to work up a stock of the variety, was the rapidity with which the flowers develop. All growers wiU recall that Prosperity, possibly the finest carnation ever grown by the trade, developed its flowers so slowly that it is not a profit- able commercial sort. Marchioness is more highly clove scented than most of the varieties now on the market, fra- grance having not been developed at the same time that the hybridizers were im- proving the other features of the modern carnation. The keeping quality of Mar- chioness also is said to be noteworthy. There are now about 10,000 plants on the Marquisee place and the estate al- ready has announcea that it will proceed with the introduction of the variety in 1909. RED SPIDER. We are troubled with red spiders, which we are unable to get rid of. Is there anything we can do to kill them I Any information you can give us will be greatly appreciated. The spiders were on when we took them up, as the weather was so hot and dry. J. A. F. tiply before, and on account of the fa- vorable weather conditions all of them were able to live to a ripe old age. Mil- lions were taken into the houses when the carnations were benched and hun- dreds of growers have been fighting them ever since. Usually one can get rid of them during the fall and winter, by simply spraying overhead with a sharp spray, having con- siderable force back of it. In obstinate C9,ses, however, this can be made much more effective _ by first spraying with a soap solution. This can be applied early in the morning and followed up toward noon with the clear water from the hose. The soap solution should be ap- plied in a fine spray without much force, as you simply want to cover the plants with it. Boil; a 5-cent cake of Ivory or similar soap until dissolved, in one gallon of water. "When applying, dilute this with clear water about one to ten. Be sure your plants dry off before night. If they are not dry by evening, drop a pinch of sulphur here and there on a steam pipe arid keep a little venti- lation in the house. A. F. J. B. BORDEAUX MIXTURE. ^ Is the use of Bordeaux mixture, sul- phate of copper and lime, of benefit to young carnation ftock? How often can it be used to advantage? Is it ever used, with benefit, on cuttings in the sand? A. C. C. Never before in my experience witli carnations have I seen as much red spider at this time of the year as there seems to be spread all over the country. The hot and dry summer caused them to multiply as I have never seen them mul- I have never heard it said that Bor- deaux mixture, or any kindred Solution, will benefit a plant, except in so far as it will safeguard against fungous diseases. I do not believe there can be anything in it which would act as a stimulant or fertilizer to the plant. However, it is a good idea to spray the young plants every few weeks with a solution such as Bordeaux, during the early spring, as it might check or prevent a case of leaf- spot, or similar disease, which might not come under your notice until it had gained a foothold and was doing consid- erable damage. Use it as a preventive, the same as you spray with nicotine to prevent aphis. I believe that if these two were applied alternately, so that each would be applied once in two weeks, it Home of Carnation Marchioness. December 17, 1908.

Bordeaux can be used in the cutting bench to combat fungus, but I would not advise using it otherwise. Cuttings are much more easily injured than grow- ing plants. A. F. J. B. SOME HOOSffiR HOUSES. In literary circles the Hoosier state is known as the home of poets and the birthplace of novelists, but in trade cir- cles it is just a little different. To a florist Indiana signifies the state of well kept greenhouses and the birthplace of new carnations. The accompanying illustrations are from photographs made November 18 at the establishment of the Charles Knopf Floral Co., Bichmond, Ind., which, ever since its inception, has been known as a model plant. While the houses de- voted to standard varieties have every at- tention, the apple of Mr. Knopf's eye is the space shown in these pictures, for it is devoted to two of his own varieties, Mrs. Charles Knopf and Euby. Mrs. Knopf is a large light pink and its name is enough to show that its originator thinks it is "the best ever." It is a shade darker than Enchantress and Mr. Knopf in his enthusiasm asserts that it is bound to surpass that variety. Ruby is scarlet crimson, holds its color with age and is said to be an excellent shipper. The pictures show strong growth and give an impression of the free blooming qualities. ENCHANTRESS BREAKING DOVN. Will you kindly tell me what is the matter with inclosed carnation leaves and buds? They are Rose-pink Enchantress. Most of the house looks like this. Also, can you tell me what to do for it? W. A. T. You do not give enough data for me to work out a solution for your trouble. You do not state when the plants were benched, how long the trouble has been coming on, how the plants have been growing in the interim, what proportion of the plants are affected, whether any of them are entirely clean, or what they have had to feed on. Two of the buds seem to have fairy- ring on them and should call for treat- ment with Bordeaux mixture. The leaves, however, did not disclose anything except numerous light spots such as are caused by stigmonose, for which there is no cure except cutting selection. We sometimes see an occasional plant of the Enchan- tress family which seems completely broken down after having made a fair start. In such cases the whole plant will look like the leaves you forward. I have never seen them numerous enough to spoil a good crop, however. Plants of that kind can only be pulled up and burned. A. F.

Albert M. Herr, Sec'y. Railroad Fare to Indianapolis. In reply to a request from the secre- tary for special rates for our meeting in Indianapolis, Ind., January 27 and 28, the following communication has been received : "Your application for excursion fares for the occasion of your meeting has been presented to a meeting of lines identi- fied with the Central Passenger Associa- tion, convened December 9. It was de- cided, after careful consideration, that they could not, in view of the recent legislative action establishing a maximum passenger fare of 2 cents per mile in the states in which they operate, consistently grant the concession requested for your approaching convention." In view of the above facts, it will be well for members to arrange to leave from a central point and get club tickets. Most oflSces sell a club ticket at con- siderable reduction to parties of ten or over. As the 2-cent rate applies, I presume, on all lines west of Pittsburg, the fact of no concession being granted need not keep any one away, as the fare will be very little in excess of what it has been for other meetings and you will have the advantage of having no restrictions placed on your method of travel. If you want to stop off at various places en route, it can easily be arranged on a straight ticket. We want every one interested in car- nations to attend this meeting and exhi- bition. The money spent will be money well invested. Albert M. Herr, Sec'y. Carnation Ruby. 10 The Weekly Florists' Review. December 17, 1908. THE RETAIL FLORIST ^^iS THE CHRISTMAS HAMPER. The accompanying illustration of a hamper of poinsettias shows the work of Charles Henry Fox, at the Sign of the Rose, Philadelphia. It is a particularly pleasing arrangement of dwarf poinset- tias and ferns, the scarlet bracts of the poinsettia predominating. The hamper is one of those such as are imitations of the hampers in which champagne often is seen displayed. The cover does not show distinctly in the illustration. CORSAGE BOUQUET SHIELDS. The corsage shield is one of the things that never come amiss — you can put it on every bouquet with the assurance that it will be appreciated, especially as the shields are comparatively new. Of course, the fabrics are of the finest. One of the features of the bouquet holder is that the "handle" of the shield is pinned to ladies' dresses, not the bou- quet itself. The bouquet is placed against the body of the shield, with the stems of the flowers over the handle of the shield; the flowers are fastened by tying to the handle with a ribbon tie or silk cord, placing the bow in front. Pin the ar- rangement to the dress by merely passing the pin over the handle of the shield, not over the stems of the violets or other flowers. In these corsage shields the body and handle are of fibre, covered with satin. The shields are of lace or plaited silk chiflfon, with satin edges. When worn, the shield is covered by the bouquet, the lace or chiffon forming a rich back- ground. Another /form of corsage protector is a lace handkerchief, 12^x13 inches. Both tbese protectors do away with the old-fashioned tinfoil still sometimes used. The illustrations of corsage protectors are from photographs supplied by Wer- theimer Bros., New York. WILL IT PAY ? What should be the income, or profit, from an establishment of 7,000 feet of glass, considering that a general line of stock is grown, catering to a general trade at good prices? There are five acres of good soil. N. B. Is there money in the business? It's a question often asked. How much in- come from a given area? It is only an- other form of the inquiry. Who could answer? It all depends on the man. Look about you. Note the men who have apparently equal facilities. One is quite evidently making money; a little experience of another will prove his in- come doesn't suffice to meet his bills. It's all in the man. Greenhouses and appurtenances are no more than the tools of an occupation : — the ability to use them is what deter- mines the result. Give one man five acres of land and 7,000 feet of glass and he soon will have the whole place built up with greenhouses. Give another man the same facilities and the only thing he will put on the place will be a mortgage, and te won't be able to rebuild the houses when they, like other tools, wear out. It's all in the man. The largest places in this country were originally started with less than 7,000 feet of glass. COLLEGE COURSE FOR FLORISTS. [A paper by Chas. N. Page, of Des Moines. la., read at a meeting of the Society of Iowa Florists, In Des Moines, • December 9, 1908.? It is. a common remark that all trades and professions are crowded and young men are apt to think that there is but little chance for them, but this is not true of the florists' business. There has always been a scarcity of good florists in' this country and we know of one green- house man who keeps an advertisement of "Man Wanted" standing in the trade papers almost the year around. This is largely owing to the fact that young men cannot secure a good all-round training in any of the large greenhouse estab- lishments. They may learn how to do the rough work and potting of plants and still for years learn nothing of the general care of greenhouse stock, and have but a faint idea of the treatment required by the various classes of plants. If their work is in a rose growing estsib- Christmas Hamper of Poinsettias and Ferns. . i Dbcoibeir 17, 1008. .■iv >l The Weekly Florists' Review* u lisbmeut, they learn roses and roses only, and are totally ignorant as to the culture of carnations, the forcing of bulbous stock, or the propagation and treatment of house aiid bedding plants for the retail trade. There are many young men who would be glad to prepare themselves for the florists' business if there was any school in which they could obtain prac- tical instruction. The Ordinary Agricultural G)lles;e. During the past year I have corre- sponded with most of the agricultural colleges of the United States, but I find that none of them is prepared to train a young man in commercial floriculture. Although the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Illinois Agricultural College have courses which would be of considerable benefit, they are far from complete. There is no school in the country bet- ter prepared to instruct a student on such subjects than the Iowa Agricultural College, as it has a corps of teachers, along the various lines, who are not sur- passed by those of any school, I believe, in the country. Such a course of study could be arranged without interfering greatly with the other work of the school, and I am convinced, from talking with the professors, that they would be glad to undertake it, if they received proper support and encouragement. A Suggested Course of Study. As a colJege course for florists, I would suggest the following outline: Principles 'of Botany Practical Botany for Florists Vegetable Physiology General Bacteriology Pathology or Diseases of Plants Fnngous and Parasitic Plants Propagation by Seeds Cuttings Dormant Wood Cuttings Root Cuttings Root Divisions Layering Grafting and Budding Plant Breeding Sorts- Chemistry of Analysis of Soil Physics Fertiliiers Sterilizing Entomology — Insects in Greenhouse Insects on Outdoor Flowering Plants Spraying — Liquid and Dnst Fumigating , Cut Flower Growing WintiT Forcing of Bulbs Winter Forcing of Shrubs, etc. Greenhouse Management — Heating Ventilation Watering Pruning and Training ' Potllpg Plants Vegetable Crops in Greenhouse Hotbed and Coldframe Management Horticulture — Study of Flowering Plants, Shrubs, Shade Trees and Herbaceous Plants Floral Work- Bouquet Making Design Making Color Arrangement House Decoration Greenhouse Construction Practical Plumbing as Applied to Greenhouses Field Growing of Shrubs Field Growing of Herbaceous Plants Field Growing of Bulbs and Tubers Aquatic Plants Cold Storage of Dormant Plants and Bulbs Landscape Gardening — Landscape Architecture Drawing Civil . Engineering Lawn Making and Management Y^u will notice that this is quite com- plete, including the study of the plants themselves, and the manner of propaga- tion and care. It might be arranged in the way of an optional or elective course, certain parts of which could be taken by students in other branches of the college, as, for instance, the landscape gardening, which would be of great assistance to the farmers of this state in beautifying their surroundings. G}rsage Shield with Violets. Good Teachers Available. This course would include instruction by Professor Pammel, the state botanist, by Professors Beach and Erwin on horti-, culture, and by Professor Stevenson on the study of soil, both in the greenhouse and for "outdoor planting. Professor Summers, the state entomologist, could instruct on the destruction of the many insects with which the florists have to contend. In fact, there are specialists already in the employ of the state who are thoroughly competent and capable of imparting the needed informiSfion to the student on every >gpic named, including landscape gardening,; civil engineering, practical plumbing and greenhouse con- struction. I have talked with some mem- bers of the state legislature and they say that this course can be added to the curriculum of the Agricultural College if the florists and horticulturists of this state really desire it. Iowa is undoubtedly in the front rank on most agricultural and horticultural topics. Why not now forge ahead along this line and be the first to adopt a prac- tical course of instruction in commercial floriculture? The Growth of the Florists' Trade. There are many reasons why the florists of the state should be banded together for mutual interest and should work unitedly for the common good. The business is becoming more important every year and, from corresponding with the florists of this state, I estimate t'hat the trade in greenhquse and bedding plants and in shrubbery has increased fully 200 per cent in the last ten years, while the demand for cut flowers has increased at least 500 per cent during the same time. Iowa is still a virgin field for the florist and the trade can be increased many-fold during the next decade, if we heartily join together in working for it. Every florist in the state should be a member of the Society of Iowa Florists, .^nd should cooperate with it in stimulat- ing the interest in the adornment of both public and private grounds by setting out shrubs and flowering plants, as well as planting trees and making lawns. Let us strive together for the advance- ment of all branches of horticulture and try to make the world more beautiful. VINCA ALBA. Please give me the name of the en- closed cutting of a plant. It is a con- . tinuous bloomer, but florists here do not spom to know what it is. J. W. The name is Vinca alba, commonly known as the Madagascar periwinkle, good alike for pot culture and summer bedding. There are several colors of this flower. Paducah, Ky.— C. L. Brunson & Co. furnished the bridesmaids' bouquets for the recent Jobe-Russell wedding in Jack- son, Tenn. The bouquets, six in number, were the old-style flat designs, just now returning to favor. 10 The Weekly Florists^ Review* l)i;ci;Miii:u IT, inOS.

Eacli yoar sees an increasing trade in pot plants at Christmas. Tlie demand at this holiday is largely ^or those with bright flowers, scarlet being the most popular color. White there may be a little sale for white-flowered plants, it is not wise to bank upon too many being disposed of. We see each year a heavy slump in white carnations, roses and French bulbous stock at the holidays, and a corresponding boom in Eichmond roses, red carnations, bouvardia and any- thing cut of a scarlet shade. So with pot plants; we always find that nice pans of poinsettias, short, stocky plants, with foliage down to the soil, will move quick- ly. Eed azaleas are also excellent sell- ers, the little Hexe and Apollo being specially good. Berried plants, such as ardisias and Jerusalem cherries, take well. The latter can be sold at a popular price and are preferable to the Christmas peppers sometimes seen. Bright colored cyclamens are popular. Another useful plant not seen so fre- quently as one could wish is Euphorbia .Tacquiniffiflora. Pans of this bright little flower are decidedly effective. Scarlet geraniums, single and double, if nicely bloomed, also make good Christ- mas plants. For lilies, white azaleas, gardenias, lilacs, lily of the valley, Ro- man hyacinths and other white flowering stock there will be some call, the valley perhaps selling as well as anything. Take note of what moves well and provide for another year. Move anything which has been forced to a cooler house a few days before Christmas. Clean all flower pots most thoroughly. Use neat stakes where nec- essary. Remove dead or decaying foliage. Be prepared with plenty of wrapping material in the event of cold weather. Do not send out any plants dry at the root, and deliver as promptly as possible. Unless you are something of a store artist, do not attempt any ribbon orna- mentation. Xo well grown plants require it, although judicious use of it will aid in selling rather wretched lookirg plants. While palms and foliage plants gen- erally are not in heavy call at Christ- mas, you may have some calls for them. Be sure you clean the foliage thoroughly before sending them out. To meet the call for fern dishes, prepare a number. If you Avant a light centerpiece, nothing ifi better than Cocos Weddelliana. Camellias. It is pleasing to note a better inquiry for camellias. While not adapted for cutting, and a little stiff in appearance, nicely flowered plants in 6-inch to 8-inch pots make nice Christmas presents. Do not attempt any hard forcing to get them into bloom. The only time camellias ap- preciate any warmth is in the growing season. At that time a warm, moist heat seems to suit them. The natural flower- ing period for camellias under glass is in January and February, and if your plants do not come in for Christmas, there will be opportunities to dispose of them during those months. Half a dozen good camellias to grow are : Donckelaarii, semi-double, large, crimson, marbled white; alba plena, pure white; Mathotiana, bright red; Lady Hume's Blush, flesh color; Valtevareda, bright rose, sometimes spotted with white; Duchess de Nassau, light pink. Mignonette. The cooler weather is now much im- proving the quality of the mignonette. Stout spikes are never possible during the hot months, but during the dark, winter months, when the night tempera- ture can be held down to 40 degrees, they do surprisingly well. As the benches will now be well filled with roots, a watering of liquid manure once in ten days will stimulate them, A mulch of old, decayed cow manure will also keep the surface soil moist and encourage roots to come up into it. Attend to any supporting before the stems can become bent, or they are useless. Attend to dis- budding closely if you want first quality stalks and let any fumigating be done lightly, as mignonette is easily injured by tobacco smoke. Calceolarias. Now is the season of rapid growth with the herbaceous calceolarias. Both these and cinerarias move slowly in the warm *■< fall months, but with a steady, low tem- perature they are exactly in their ele- ment. Forcing they must never have, or they will be speedily ruined. Anything clear of freezing will grow them well. Keep the plants potted along before they get matted with roots. Use a rather lumpy compost, one-third broken cow ma- nure, two-thirds turf loam, with plenty of sharp sand, a dash of fine bone and some powdered charcoal. The charcoal seems to be much liked by calceolarias and one always finds plants succeed bet- ter where it is used. If your plants show signs of running up to flower now, earlier than you want them, pinch out the top of -the leading 6hoot close down. A light spraying over- head once a day is relished by calceo- larias. Fresh tobacco stems laid among the pots will keep down that arch en- emy, green aphis, but if you fumigate once a week you can dispense with these. Double Ea^cffews. Double feverfews are particularly val- uable at Memorial day. They require a cool house and if, after your poinsettias and other Christmas stock are cleared out, you can give the feverfew a vacant bench, you can depend upon getting an abundance of bloom for Memorial day. Old chrysanthemum soil will answer well if it is forked over and some rotted cow ma- nure or bone is added to it. This flower is not one which will take at the flower stores and its odor is not specially pleas- ing, but for Memorial day trade it has always come in very useful. Fuchsias. Neat fuchsia plants in 4-inch to 6-inch pots sell well with the average country florists at bedding-out time. They will not bloom, owing to our intense summer eat, as in Europe, where they are at- tractive features in the public parks and gardens, but for window and piazza- boxes, especially where they can have a little shade, they are useful.

Syringe twice a day, but do not keep too moist at the root until they are growing freely. Take off the shoots when two or three inches long and put in the propagating bench. They will be rooted and fit to pot off in three weeks. Keep rather warm until established. Then grow in a temperature of 50 degrees at night. By judicious pinching and potting along, nice plants can be had by May and their grace and beauty we find always appeal to a number of our customers. Freesias. The early pans of freeaias are push- ing up the flower stalks and a number promise to be open for the holidays. Be sure to afford an abundant supply of water. Freesias are gross-rooting sub- jects and will stand as much feeding as mums. They are more often spoiled by an insufficient water supply than any- thing else. Keep them as near the light as possible. Avoid heavy fumigation, which will scorch the foliage, and let the night temperature be as near 50 degrees as you can. To hurry a few in for Christmas, 5 degrees extra at night is allowable, but the stalks are stockier and flowers more substantial if grown cooler. Bulbous PlanU. The Trumpet Major narcissus forces •easily into bloom after this date. About its only recommendation is its earliness, for once Golden Spur comes on the mar- ket its inferiority is quickly apparent. Some growers manage to get a few Spurs in for the holidays, but it pays better to leave them a few days longer. Prob- ably some of your flats are sufficiently well started to house now. Do not force in a high temperature; they will do much better in 50 to 55 degrees at night than in 10 degrees more heat. Keep bringing' in a few flats of^that •ever useful tul^. La Reine, j(lWays in demand for funeral work. Other tulips only sell moderately in the markets, but if you have a good home trade, you can perhaps use a few pans of Yellow Prince, Belle Alliance, Cottage Maid or Keizera- kroon. Be sure that none of your bulbous stock, to be forced later on, is suffering from lack of water. Perhaps the sur- face soil looks moist, but the soil below is rather dry. If you drained your flats and pans well, you cannot go far wrong in giving them a thorough soaking if they show any signs of dryness. Brief Reminden. Pack straw or leaves about pots or pans likely to be frozen in pits or frames. Be sure not to neglect a fumigation once a week. Pests breed with aston- ishing rapidity under glass. Remove any shading still remaining on the roofs. Plants will need all pos- sible light for the next two months. Throw out any diseased lilies. They only occupy space which better plants might have. Save a few good plants of Lorraine begonias for propagating purposes. Pot on any of the little bedding gera- niums requiring it. Give the plants more room as they need it. Avoid removing poinsettias into a low temperature; 50 degrees at night is as low as they will stand without loss of foliage. Keep hydrangeas in winter quarters cool, well aired and somewhat dry at the root. Plant gladioir of the Gandavensis sec- tion in any bare pieces of bench you may have. They will prove useful in spring. Be sure to disbud and put supports to tjie snapdragons. Mark any specially good ones to propagate 'from. Cuttings of any fine foliaged tropical plants, such as crotons and draceenas, will root freely now that fire heat is more steady. Save a sufficient number of poinsettias for stock and do not let them be the weakest and puniest plants. FIRE INSURANCE. Will someone kindly tell me if there are any insurance companies making a business of insuring greenhouses t Or is there any regular insurance company that does not demand $3 to $4 per $100 of insurance on greenhouses f L. B. Fire insurance depends entirely upon the character of the risk. Any company operating in your vicinity will write in- surance on your greenhouses if the loca- tion and character of the - houses meet with certain requirements prescribed by the Underwriters' Association. The rate depends on the character of the risk. If your local agents cannot get you satisfactory ^itisurance, you will not be likely to get it in any reliable company outside.

We noticed an article in the EtfviEW of November 19, page 48, under the head of "Soil Sterilization," and would like to know where we can get more informa- tion as to the use of formalin, what it is, where to get it, what it costs, and about the apparatus for making it, etc. J. S. & S. Your issue of November 19, 1908, con- tains an article on "Soil Sterilization," by B. H. Thome, in which he refers to several methods of soil sterilization, among which is sterilization by means of formalin. Will you kindly give us some further information concerning its use? We have sterilized soil with steam, but have never tried any other way. H. F. C. Neither of these two correspondents seems to have read the first part of the article on sterilization, which appeared on page 76 of the Review of November 12, and which contained much of the in- forma^tion for which they are now ask- ing. If they will now read the first in- stallment of the article, they will there find specific directions about the various steps in the use of formaldehyde, or for- malin, from the preparation of the soil to the end of the process. The machine called a "mixer" is there described at some length,* and other methods of using the formalin are also mentioned, such as applying it with a barrel force pump and hose, or putting it into the water tanks, in greenhouses where tanks are used. It is there stated that "the for- malin mixer is made of two ordinary kitchen range tanks, one above and at one side of the other. The upper one holds the formalin and the lower one is the mixer. The tops of both are con- nected by a small pipe with a valve in it. This pipe is to equalize the pressure in both tanks by the passage of air back and forth." As an aid to a clearer understanding of the mixer, a diagram of it is here- with given. The numbers on the dia- gram are explained as follows: 1 — Inlet valve from waterworks. 2 — Hose-bib for drawing off lower tank. 3 — Outlet valve from tank Into waterworks system. 4 — Glass gauge to show when water gets too bigb In lower tank. , 5— Air valve. / 6 — Valve between the tanksX 7 — Pressure gauge. ^^■ 8 — Filling pipe, for fornlalln tank. 9 — Glass gauge for formalin tank. 10 — Draw-off valve for formalin tank. 11— Needle valve to ceg!^J«Ie flow of formalin. 12— Glass gauge to shoW 'Whether formalin is flowing properly. 13 — Air valve used in filling formalin tank. To regulate the mixer, first run through fifty gallons of water and time it; then take off the glass gauge at 12 and regulate the needle valve so that two pounds of formalin will run through in the same time as the fifty gallons of water. A long" pointer and dial should be placed on the handle of the needle valve, and when the valve has been reg- ulated for the right quantity it should be marked on the diaL To operate 'the mixer, first open the air-cock at 13; fill the formalin tank half or two-thirds full of formalin. Close the valves at 11 and 3, and run water in to put on the pressure. When the pressure is all on, close the valve at 6, run out the water at 2 and open the valve at 5 to let air into the lower tank. After the water is out, close the valves at 2 and 5. The mixer is now ready to use by opening valves 1, 12, 3 and 6 in Apparatus U>ed for Sterilizine With Formalin. the order named. With this apparatus one man can do the same amount of work that six can do with a barrel and. pump. Formalin, or formaldehyde, is a gas that is forced into water under pressure. When it is spread over a large surface it evaporates and in a few days no trace of it is left, and for this reason it is excellent for sterilizing soil. It pro- duces no change in the soil and leaves no residue, and it will kill any live germs or fungi with which it comes in contact, either in the mixture or as a gas. It cannot be used in the gaseous form in the greenhouse, if any plants are in it, as it kills them the same as burning sul- phur. There is no danger, however, in using it in the mixture on empty beds in close proximity to other plants, as the gas does not evaporate fast enough to do any harm. Formalin is manufactured by the Perth Amboy Chemical Co., Perth Am- boy, N. J. Strong & Cobb and, I be- lieve, Harshaw, Fuller, Goodwin & Co., both of Cleveland, O., handle it in whole- sale lots. As to its cost, I cannot say at present, but I have paid from 9 cents to 15 cents per pound, depending on the quantity. B. H. Thorne. MEALY BUG. I have a greenhouse in a small town. My flowers are troubled with a peculiar disease, or bug, or louse. I send you a sample of them. They will thrive on any plant. Fumigating does not kill them. I have tried several things. Catt you tell me what they are and what I should do to get rid of them? T. W. S. The specimens received were mealy bugs, one of the worst pests the florist has to combat, but which is not often allowed to overrun everything, as in your case. If you had used a strong pressure of water, driven through a spray nozzle, once or twice a week, many of the bug» would have been destroyed. Ordinary fumigation has no effect on these bugs, but if you will use hydrocyanic acid gas,, as recommended frequently in the col- umns of the Beview, you can clear them out effectually. Once you have gotten them clean, syringe your plants occasion- ally, using a good force of water, to- keep them in check. It will probably pay you to throw away any coleus or other bedding plants which are badly infested. C. W. —^ December 17, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. 15 OLDEST KANSAS FLORIST. Eeferring to the note regarding A. Whitcomb in the Review of December 10, R. J. Groves, of Atchison, says he thinks he can claim to be the oldest florist in Kansas, as he antedates Mr. Whitcomb by four years. Mr. Groves went into the greenhouse business in Atchison in March, 1865, so that he has spent almost forty-four years in the trade at that place. He says there, were three florists then in the business in Kan- sas, in 1865, all located at Leavenworth. They AA'ere Messrs. Putman, Compeer and Hawthorne, none of whom remain. WILLIAM DOWNS. William Downs, the new president of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston, is an Englishman by birth, hav- ing first seen the light in a hamlet of South Lincolnshire in 1861. When a boy of 12 years, he left home to work in a general merchandise store, where he stayed three years. Finding that an indoor life did not agree with him, he next found employment in the garden of a country clergyman, one who, like so many others of his calling in Great Britain, was his own gardener, and an able one. After spending two and one- half years in this place, Mr. Downs next moved to another place where there was some glass and general all-around work, and here he spent three years. His next move was to a place in Derbyshire, where another three years were spent in the kitchen^ and pleasure gardens and lawn makings From Derbyshire the next move was to the estate of R. Hornsby, the great agri- cultural implement maker of Grantham, Lincolnshire. Greenhouses here were a leading feature, there being seventeen in all, of which seven were graperies, three peach houses, three forcing houses and the balance plant houses. On this place he stayed until he had advanced to the position of foreman, when he moved to Balrath Barry, County Meath, Ireland, as foreman. "The leading features here were a fine conservatory, extensive bed- ding and five acres of herbaceous garden. After spending two years here, the place was closed, owing to the death of the owner, and Mr. Downs went back to Eng- land and took a position as fruit fore- man with the redoubtable Richard Gil- bert, of Boughley House, near Stamford. Mr. Gilbert was one of the most notable fruit and vegetable growers in Great Britain, and many who were his assist- ants now occupy good positions in Great Britain and America. From Boughley Mr. Downs came to the United States and accepted an offer to manage orange properties in Florida. Four and one-half years there was suf- ficient to seriously undermine hia health, so he determined to return to his old profession. Returning to Massachusetts, he took a position as foreman with E. O. Orpet, of South Lancaster. After work- ing there two seasons, he left to take charge of the estate of Mrs. Julia M. Dumaresq, Chestnut Hill, Mass., where he has now been for twelve years. Mr. Downs, since his connection with the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, has been an earnest worker, being elected vice-president a year ago. In him the club will find an energetic, broad-minded and progressive worker. Outside of his horticultural affi]iations, Mr. Downs is past chancelloriind treasurer in Newton Lodge K, of P., also representative to William Downs. the Grand Lodge and president for the third successive year of the Kingsle> Working Men's Club, of Chestnut Hill. Mr. Downs is married, but has no family. The home over which Mrs. Downs pre- sides is one of the finest equipped it has been the privilege of the writer to see, a model for owners of other large estates. W. N. Craig. , BOSTON. The Market Less flowers are now coming into the market, but demand is not so good as could be wished. Many growers are holding back their crops for Christmas, as is customary. A much more cheerful feeling pervades the trade than a year ago, when hopes of a good market were slim. Present indicritions are that busi- ness will exceed that of 1907, although there are no expectations of any fancy prices. Roses, which were fairly plenti- ful, have been reduced somewhat on ac- count of colder weather. Beauties, Kil- larneys and Richmonds remain the three leaders. Carnations are bringing rather better prices, but whites promise to be in oversupply. The finest whites coming are White Perfection. Among every-day whites, Queen remains the leader. Violets are not abundant, but there promises to be a good Christmas supply. Bulbous stock includes quite a few Trum- pet Major narcissi; some Golden Spurs are also promised for Christmas. Poin- settias are not yet selling in a cut state. Lilies and callas are each quiet. "Valley sells fairly well. There is now a good supply of Cypripedium insigne, and among cattleyas Percivaliana and Tri- anse are in evidence. Gardenias continue rather scarce. There is a quickened trade in pot plants and dealers in Christmtis greenery are busy. Their advance orders indicate a much heavier trade than a year ago. Both holly and mistletoe arriving are of good quality. Club Meetins. The big attendance at the regular monthly meeting December 15 attested the keen interest taken by the member- ship in the contest for officers. The greatest good humor, however, prevailed throughout. Eber Holmes withdrew as a presidential candidate. The tellers were D. Finlayson, George Shield, C. J. O'Brien, F. W. Fletcher, Thos. Pegler and W. E. Fischer. The balloting was on the Australian system and resulted as follows: For president — Wm. Downs, 90; F. E. Palmer, 57. For vice-president — J. W. Duncan, 75; W. J. Kennedy, 66. For secretary— W. N. Craig, 133. For treasurer — Edward Hatch, 130. For members executive committee — R. Cameron, 100; Peter Fisher, 100; J. Farquhar, 78; Peter Miller, 86, Each of the new officers made short addresses. Three new members were elected. There was as usual an attractive floral display on the exhibition tablea W. N. Craig had a collection of zonal gera- niums, including such varieties as Paul Crampel, Reformator, J. M. Barry; Maxine Kovalevski, Ian Maclaren, Emile Zola, Duke of Bedford and others, and was given a report of merit for superior culture. M. A. Patten had Sarah Nichol- son and Genevieve. Thomas Westwood 16 The Weekly Florists' Re^a(^. Decembeb 17, 1008. showed Salvia Zurich. The J. F. Flood Co. had mushrooms. Peter Fisher re- ceived honorable mention for Winon& and Viola Sinclair carnations. F. W. Fletcher showed violets and salvia. Thomas Wal- die had a seedling carnation. W. E. Hamilton, Belfast, Me., had a late pink mum and E. B. Beals fine seedling carna- tions, crimson, white and light pink. There were refreshments as usual and one of the most exciting and enthusiastic meetings the club has ever held did not close until a late hour. At the January meeting the newly elected officers will be installed. Variouc Notes. i Edgar Bros., of Waverley, are still cut- ting a fine lot of late chrysanthemums, including Bonnaffon, Jeanne ° Noniu, Maud Dean, H. W. Kieman and Intensity, and will have plenty of these sorts for Christmas. W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, has a fine house of sweet peas, from which he is cutting some fine flowers. His double violets are doing better than ever. From Budlong'i^, of Auburn, R. I., some extra fine Killarney, Richmond and other roses are being handled at the Park street market. John Newman, who sells at the Music Hall market, is handling an exceptionally high grade lot of Princess of Wales vio- lets again this season. W. C. Ward, who is the leading indoor pansy specialist in this section, is market- ing large quantities of fine flowers of his specialty. H. F. Calder, of Norwood, is a grower of double violets, hard to beat. His flowers are again this season of splendid quality and of a color sufficient to make anyone envious. S. J. Goddard and E. A. Peirce think so well of their late western trip as an educational one, that they are planning to make one every fall. Quite a few in this section are already talking of the Indianapolis carnation convention and hoping to accompany President Patten there. The committee having in charge the arrangements for the Park street market flower show, to be held about March 1, 1909, held a meeting December 12. They are planning to have an exhibition far surpassing that of 1908. The members of the committee are E. A. Peirce, 6. J. Goddard, W. H. Elliott and William Sim. H. M. Eobinson & Co. are having a strenuous season at present, and have a large force working practically night and day. Their holly, smilax, laurel and other greenery is of fine quality and cut flower trade promises to be of unusually large dimensions. T. F. Galvin has an attractive window at his big Tremont street store, the cen- tral feature being a bulb bed. He is handling a fine lot of orchids. W. H. Elliott thinks the single mums are what the commercial men should grow another season. The public taste runs to this class. E. Sutermeister is once more busy with bulbous stock and will have plenty of Golden Spur and La Reine in a day or two. J. F. Flood & Co., of Dedham, are handling^ quantities of extra fine carna- tions at their Music Hall market stand. Welch Bros. ' big Devonshire street em- porium is a hive of industry these days. In addition to their immense stock of holly, laurel, mistletoe, etc., they will have the biggest lot of cut flowers in their history for the Christmas trade, including orchids, gardenias and everything choice. Mann Bros., of Randolph, are as usual handling large quantities of pot plants for the Christmas trade. They are bring- ing in a lot of good yellow narcissi and other bulbous stock. In spite of recent moderate rains and snowfalls, we are still many inches short of our normal rainfall, and with the ground frozen, tight as at present any precipitation will be of less value than if it were open. Esty Bros, are producing some of the finest single violets seen in Boston at present. J. K. Alexander, of East Bridgewater, has recently secured some big orders for dahlia tubers. Mr. Alexander grew twenty acres of dahlias last season and is now clearing more land to increase that area. W. N. Cbaig. NEVYORK. The Market Christmas is in the air, the voices of the flower merchants have a hopeful tone, and an encouraging holiday trade seems assured. Already the improvement is marked in the almost universal prosper- ity of the retail section of the business, and the gradually advancing values in the wholes&le market. Roses especially feel the thrill of the better times. From the Maid, all the way up through the novelties, to Beau- ties, the prices have improved, so that both grower and wholesaler have just cause for congratulation. And these prices are already near the values that, if not advanced unduly, guarantee a re- turn to the old days of a cut flower Christmas. This, too, is possible with no diminution in the selling of plants, for the market has greatly widened of late, and the use of flowers and plants for Christmas gifts is now universal. Only the error of unreasonable advances in price, or the flooding of the market with pickled flowers can hold back the tide of public buying. There is a wonderful demand for Kil- larney. Of all the varieties of roses, this seems to be in the limelight. Retailers were asking $6 per dozen Saturday for the best of them. Beauties, too, are ris- ing; choice lots touched 50 cents whole- sale the last of the week. The carnation shipments are now abundant and good prices prevail. Choice stock easily commanded 4 cents Monday, December 14. Even the commonest ship- ments did not go below $1. Violets hold steady at 75 cents for the top grade. The left-overs go to the street tomorrow at 35 cents and even less, but with the stock fresh and the demand improving the left-overs are now few. The orchid supply is now encouraging, both in variety and quantity. A big Christmas demand is already evident. Gardenias have advanced to 50 cents for the perfect ones and are popular. Smilax is a drug. Some of the wholesalers' ice- boxes are crowded with it. As low as 6 cents was accepted for it Saturday, De- cember 12. Here and there chrysanthemums are seen, but the stragglers are few. Some are being saved for Christmas. Lilies are none too plentiful and prices are much better. Cypripediums have fallen be- cause of their abundance. The market has never seen them of better quality. Poinsettias, cut and in plant, are in many of the wholesale windows. -They make a brilliant setting. Every retail window is a study in red. Christmas bells and wreaths abound. Blooming, plants of all kinds are already arriving and by Saturday, December 19, every- thing will be staged and arranged for the Christmas demand. Plant growers say ' ' Sola out ' ' when one asks them how the holiday plant demand has material- ized. ' Club Meeting. t Monday night, December 14, the final meeting of the New York Florists' Club for 1908 took place at the Grand opera house. President Weathered was in the chair. The weather was perfect and the attendance the largest of the year, nearly 150 being present during the evening. A mor& harmonious and enthusiastic gath- ering has never been seen together in the club's history. Messrs. A. H. Prosser and Herman Scholzel were elected to membership. In response to the club's telegram of congratulation to Mayor Breitmeyer, of Detroit, a very warm letter of thanks and appreciation was read from the pop- ular candidate.- The resignation of B. C. Bruckner, of Bayside, was read, and a letter from Fred Lentz, concerning the bowling competition at the club's annual outing. Explanations were made by Messrs. Marshall, Schultz and Manda, and the prizes remaining, after discus- sion, by motion of P. O'Mara, were ordered returned to the donors, and the contest, because of lack of time for its completion, declared canceled. W. W. Burnham sent a letter of resig- nation as candidate for the office of vice- president, Harry Bunyard for that of secretary, and Alfred Zeller and Patrick O'Mara withdrew from the contest for trusteeships. In the election contest W. F. Sheridan was appointed judge and Messrs. O'Mara and Koehne tellers. For the office of president Robert Berry nominated W. E. Marshall, seconded by J. A. Manda. The motion was declared out of order, but the privilege of any member of the club to vote for any can- didate desired was emphasized. The elec- tion resulted as follows: President, E. V. Hallock; vice-president, Harry Turner; secretary, John Young; treasurer, W. C. Rickards; trustees, F. H. Traendly, John Scott and Paul Dailledouze. E. V, Hal- lock resigned the office of trustee and Robert Simpson was elected by acclama- tion to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hallock made an eloquent address, stating that he was overwhelmed and deeply touched by the honor conferred. He said in his opinion the club could have selected a better man, but that he would give the society the best that was in him. He referred to the power of the club to make the president a success, and said he was more pleased with the deci- sion of the club than by any act of any other body of men that had ever been shown him in his life. Messrs. Turner, Young, Riekards, Simpson, Traendly and Dailledouze followed in assurances of loyalty and devotion to the club's inter- ests, the secretary especially- being greeted with great enthusiasm. All united in the declaration that the New York Florists' Club was the best in the country and emphasized their intention to keep it up to its high standard in the future. Trustee Scott is still convales- cing and was unable to attend. The award committee announced pre- liminary certificates for the exhibits of „ jj'-"' ■ .„-^ December 17, 1908.

Rose White Killarney and for a vase of a brilliant rose-pink carnation exhibited by E. L. Enggren, of Aqueduct, L. I. The thanks of the club were also ac- corded the exhibitors of an adjustable plant stand, and a Christmas tree stand made by the Moore-Livingston Co., of Lansdowne, Pa. The Killarney roses were shown by the F. B. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, and the Waban Rose Con- servatories, Natiek, Mass. C. L. Allen, the venerable lecturer for the evening, was unable to be ^present because of illness and will be requested to read his paper at a subsequent club meeting. Patrick O'Mara spoke of the splendid exhibition of the club and Hor- ticultural Society this fall, with its attendance in the three days of over 20,000 people. He said the society could now look forward hopefully to exhibi- tions on a larger scale, the whole floor of the Museum building to be granted for the show. Secretary Young announced six life members on his list since the passage of the resolution making $50 the fee. Vaiiout Notes. The auction of the Fleischman effects at the store on Broadway brought a large crowd of florists, but the goods were sold at low prices to the trade largely. The fitting up of this palatial flower shop is said to have cost over $30,000. A small percentage of this amount was realized. The big ice-box was secured by Robert "Wilson, of Brooklyn. George A. Saltford, the violet grower of Rhinebeck, was in the city Saturday, December 12. He says the Christmas sup- ply will be abundant, and that the new society, with a membership already of 135, is a success. Its objects, apart from the wholesale purchasing of glass, green- house supplies, coal, etc., is the cultiva- tion of -the fraternal spirit and it has no ambition nor thought of control of the wholesale prieei" of violets, a consumma- tion he says it is realized to be manifest- ly impossible. John King Duer had a page of floral arrangements illustrated in one of the big Sunday papers, with much seasonable and excellent advice on Christmas decora- tions. One of the "400" himself, so- ciety will naturally sit up and take notice. Nick Schreiner is New York agent for a big shipment of the red "Coon" ber- ries from Maryland, the shipper accom- panying a large number of cases from the south. They are extra fine. Walter Mott, of. Newburgh, reports a splendid Thanksgiving business tor the Yuess Gardens Co., especially of mums of their own growing, and is greatly pleased at the outlook and the growth of the business. W. J. Palmer and wife, of Buffalo, visited New York last week on their way to a pleasant winter outing in Bermuda. Downtown enormous quantities of Christmas trees, holly and evergreen wreaths and wreathing are seen on every corner, in addition to the big stocks car- ried by the seed houses. Some of the stores are handsomely decorated. Stumpp & Walter Co. has arched its entire store space on the street level and with bells and holly and electric lighting produced a most attractive effect. It is perhaps a waste of warning, but already the menace of pickled stock for Christmas asserts itself. If reports are correct, the lessons of- the past have had no effect. Henry Hentz is sending Moore, Hentz & Nash a specially fine cut of long Beau- ties. I am told over ninety-five per cent of last week's shipments were specials — a remarkable average. Daniel J. Mcintosh, 1144 Broadway, has been granted a discharge from bank- ruptcy. Liabilities, $8,780. Thomas Roland, of Nahant, Mass., is reported by A. T. Boddington as a recent visitor. January 28 has been chosen by the New York and New Jersey Plant Asso- ciation as the night for the society's ban- quet, and the St. Denis hotel is likely tOy' be the place of meeting. The members say it will be a grand affair. J. Austin Shaw. Retailers and ^Wholesalers to Cooier. The retail florists of Greater New York have formed an organization known as the Retail Florists', Protective Association of New York. The association has been incorporated, as a membership corpora- tion, and the following officers have been elected : President — Charles A. Dards. First Vice-President — Marshall Clarke. Second Vice-President — Joseph G. Lei- kens. Treasurer — Geo. M. Stumpp. Secretary — Herman Warendorff. These officers, together with Messrs. John J. Foley, John S. Nicholas, William P. Sears, John H. Troy and Thomas Young, Jr., constitute the board of directors of the association. The objects of the association as they are set forth in its constitution are as follows : (a) To take proper measures to prevent the Invasion by wholesale dealers into the retail trade. (b) To secure enforcement of the law as to the sale of flowers on the streets by unlicensed vendors. (c) To establish a mutual credit system for the exchange of information as to non-paying customers, and for the prevention of bad debts. (d) To establish a reliable collection bureau for the collection of outstanding accounts by high-class legal counsel. (e) To arrifnge for a businesslike credit sys- tem between the wholesalers and retailers, such as prevails ii^ other lines of business. (f) To take such steps and adopt such meas- ures from time to time as will conduce to the uplifting of the retail floral business, Us pro- tection and preservation. Any retail florist, whether individual, partnership or corporation, is eligible to membership in the association. It is the opinion of the board ,of directors that the best way to cultivate the mutual business interests of the retail and wholesale florists is by devel- oping an amicable and cooperative spirit between them. To this end a committee of seven members, consisting of C. E. Grunewald, J. S. Nicholas, Herman Warendorff, Jos. G. Leikens, C. H. Brown, S. Myer, John J. Foley, and the president, Charles A. Dards, who is a member ex officio, was appointed at the last meeting of the association to confer with the officers of the Wholesale Florists' Association in order to take such steps as may be agreed upon to work out the best interests of both the wholesale and retail florists. Herman W.^RENDOErr, Sec'y. OBITUARY. Frank M. Strong. Frank M. Strong, one of the best known growers at Grand Rapids, Mich., died at his home, 1214 Madison avenue, at i):'60 a. m., December 13, after an illness of several months of tuberculosis. Mr. Strong was born in Tioga county, N. Y., April 28, 4860. Twenty-five years ago he removed to Grand Rapids, engaging in the greenhouse business as a florist and vegetable grower. He was the founder of the Grand Rapids Floral Co., which has since passed into other hands, and on the organization of the Grand Rapids Greenhouse Co., com- posed of tiie leading growers of veg- etables under glass and a number of local florists, in 1907, became its president, /which position he held at the time of his •death.

The price of cypress lumber has had an advance. This is the season at which the need for experienced help is felt in all lines of the trade. Neatness and order speak for the character of the stock a man grows, and his business methods. The growers complain that they are not able to get the Rhea Reid rose to re- spond the way Richmond does. The greenhouse builders say that in- quiries for estimates indicate another season of active greenhouse building in 1909. The Manetti having arrived, prepara- tions for rose grafting are now in order. Each year a greater proportion of grafted roses is being planted. A. N. PiEBSON, Cromwell, Conn., doubtless holds the largest stock of My Maryland rose and expects to propagate close to 300,000 for 1909 delivery. The Secretary of Agriculture, in his annual report, places the value of the farm crops of 1908 at $7,778,000,000, a sum eclipsing all previous records. Next Tuesday will be the shortest day in the year, but the two days following will be altogether too short for the work everyone will have to do in them. "Many men of many minds" cer- tainly describes the conditions as regards the tariff on horticultural commodities. There is no agreement as to what is wanted. Don't tell your customers that the so- called Japanese air plants, now such good sellers, will flourish and become "nice, large plants." This has been done in stores, happily not numerous, where anything goes, so long as it leads to a sale, but such selling talk does not tend to establish a reputation for veracity. The United States court has declared the tobacco combine to be illegal and ordered its dissolution. One of the com- panies named is the Conley Foil Co., which at one time did a large business supplying florists' foil. ACCELERATING GROWTH. That the growth of plants may be greatly accelerated by the 'Use of radio- active minerals is the conclusion reached by Joseph WiUcox after an exhaustive series of experiments, the results of whjch were detailed at the regular meet- ing of the American Philosophical So- ciety at Philadelphia, December 4. Mr. WiUcox found during bis tests that pitchblend, or other radio-active mate- rial, mixed in the ground in which seeds were planted, induced a growth of sur- prising strength and quickness. Plants so treated quickly overtopped those left to grow in natural soil, and at the end of a few weeks' time attained a size and strength nearly twice as great. The discovery, Mr. WiUcox said, will probably have no great value other than an experimental one, as the treatment of fields with radio-active minerals would bankrupt the farmers before they could harvest their crops. Pitchblend, how- ever, is not so high in price, he said, that it cannot be used in greenhouses, and it may be that before long "radium" to- matoes and ' * radium ' ' flowers will be placed on the market at fancy figures. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There is considerable variation in the report of conditions last week, referring to the volume of business. Some houses say they had a good week, while others report demand disappointing. There is, however, a unanimous report that had business been really brisk, the supply of stock would have been entirely inade- quate. Even with the houses which had the best run of business the demand lacks the snap which had been expected to come with wintry weather. SuppUes have been considerably reduced and a little of the old-time vigor in the demand would set wholesalers to skirmishing for stock to fill orders. This week starts out with Uttle change in conditions. Sup- pUes are light and demand nothing to brag about, though it has been sufficient to clean up all the really salable stock and cause an advance in prices for the best grades. The receipts of Beauties are decidedly limited. QuaUty is not of the best and the state of the Beauty market leads to much speculation as to what the Christ- mas conditions will be. Good Bride and Maid have come into better favor, for the supply is now rather less than the demand for first-class stock. Killamey still has the. call over other pink .varie- ties, but Mrs. Marshall Field is doing right nicely; it is in good crop and is holding its color nicely. Richmond seUs first rate. Carnations have enjoyed an advance and are doing better than at any time in recent weeks. Prices are not yet up to where they should be at this season, but a much better clean-up has been made since December 10. Violets are not in large supply and the price has advanced a step. Paper Whites have become a glut. Valley is abundant and there are plenty of Easter lilies. A few chrysanthemums are seen, most of them Decembeb 17, 1908.

The few really good flowers are selling quite well. Sweet peas are hold- ing back; there is a good demand for those with long stems, which are sCarce. Orchids are more abundant. Within the last few days therq has been a marked increase i^ the busihess done in boxwood and galax. These articles always enjoy a special demand just before Christmas. All greenhouse greens are plentiful. Farleyense is being used more extensively for fine work. Christmas Prospects. In general, Christmas orders are not yet coming in heavily, although the last day or two has shown an increase. There are any number of inquiries for red roses and carnations, but in general the whole- salers will not promise red except where a general line of stock of other colors also is ordered. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is an exception to the rule, in that it reports having taken orders for about iQl the roses it is likely to be able to supply; Killamey is the principal crop. But the wholesalers, as almost always at this time, are a little nervous about sup- ply. It looks as though it may be short. Nearly everyone predicts the late buyers of Beauties will pky more than the prices quoted for advance orders. It also is figured by many that first-class roses will in the end get up above usual Christmas rates. Carnations, it is thought, will equal the demand. Buyers ought to make their needs known at once, so wholesalers can get some idea where they will be at. The late telegraph orders are what make the trouble at Christmas. Growers should bear in mind that December 22 and 23 will be the big shipping days. Don't save up white. Monthly Exhibition. The Horticultural Society provided all the appurtenances of a flower show at the Art Institute, Saturday, December 12. Nick Miller was there with the entry cards and managerial records. George Asmus was on hand to serve as judge. But the entries proved to be only one in each class.

Crossley, Christmas red, and' some singles. The Horticultural Society gave a din- ner at 6 p. m. at the Tip Top Inn, across the street from the Art Institute, to which a few of the trade members were invited to discuss what could be done to make future shows more success- ful. The society has planned a series of seven monthly exhibitions. W. N. Budd has agreed to take charge of the Jan- uary show, of carnations, and hopes to gather an exhibition which will include not only the novelties but all the stan- dard varieties as grown by the best local people. Various Notes. John Pehrson has sold his store at 25 East Forty-third street to Victor An- derson, and in partnership with Alvin Marine has opened at 1212 Bryn Mawr avenue, where they are making a most satisfactory start. Before opening his place on Forty-third street, Mr. Pehrson was with the George Wittbold Co., and Mr. Marine has been with the same firm until quite recently. The name is Pehr- son & Marine. Most of the growers are enthusiastic over My Maryland, but Wietor Bros, say they will pin their faith to Mrs. Jardine. N. J. Wietor says the more they see of it the better they like it. Mrs. E. E. Pieser is recovering nicely from the effects of her recent surgical operation. G. H. Pieser has been ill in the last fortnight, but is again feeling better. The E. F. Winterson Co. is not only winding bouquet green, but is also mak- ing up large quantities of laurel wreath- ing. One of their Christmas orders is for 400 cattleyas. Harville & Jones, the South Water street firm burned out a fortnight ago, has taken the vacant store at 52 and 54 Wabash avenue for its greens depart- ment. They have a big force of girls winding wreathing and making holly wreaths and are doing a big shipping business, practically all with the pro- vision trade. Poehlmann Bros. Co. is beginning to cut Cardinal in fine shape. This variety was planted quite extensively and the flowers now being cut are entirely ac- ceptable to the buyers who cannot get short and medium Beauties. The E. Wienhoeber Co. is enjoying the longest run of heavy business in its his- tory. Late hours are kept by the entire staff, night after night. A large order for December 15 was for the Hoyt funeral. A.

There almost always is a squeeze when it comes to supplying the eleventh-hour needs, and this year he says he thinks it will be much worse than usual. It is reported that Fleischman's Jack- son boulevard store has ordered 60,000 violets for delivery December 24. E. E. Pieser says his prediction for Christmas is that there will be the great- est scarcity of red ever known in the market, with an overabundant supply of light-colored flowers. E. Meuret, at Park Bidge, has one of the model ' carnation establishments of the locality. He ships to E. H. Hunt, C. M. Dickinson being one of his neigh- bors. Scheiden & Schoos will plant 1,500 Gladiolus America and Augusta for early forcing. Peter Beinberg got in early on My Maryland, having 2,500 plants of last year's delivery. He is propagating all that the plants give in the way of cuttings. Max Awissus has returned to E. C. Amling, after having been with J. A. Budlong for some time. John Michelsen, of Mr. Amling's staff, was at New Castle Sunday to inspect the Christmas Beauty crop of the South Park Floral Co., and came back much enthused. It is reported from Joliet that J. D. Thompson has gone into the newspaper business in Chicago. Harry Fisher, of Kalamazoo, was one of the week's visitors, Bassett & Washburn say they look for the largest Christmas business on record; their orders average larger than last year. The A. L. Bandall Co. plans to make a specialty of rooted cuttings, having already done quite a little in that line. Messrs. Pruner and Johnson, of Hunt's force, are home from the road to stay till after the holidays. C. W. McKellar says the cattleyas are coming into crop at just the right time. J. A. Budlong is cutting a good crop of Maid and Bride. George Eeinberg now is cutting quite a few cattleyas. Vaughan &'Sperry say orders for vio- lets are coming in satisfactorily, but that the buyers seem in no hurry to get in on carnations. Zech & Mann report December 14 one of the best Mondays so far this season. The George Wittbold Co. has secured the contract at $1,500 to decorate the Coliseum for the automobile show in February. Frank Oechslin has a busy week be- fore him. His Christmas orders for plants are exceptionally heavy and every- one wants delivery at once. Fred Lautenschlager is the inventor of the Lauten fumigator, now being put on the market by an eastern firm. The A. L. Randall Co. states that its first mail Monday morning, December 14, contained ninety-six letters. BUFFALO. Current G>mfflent. Ideal winter weather now prevails in Buffalo and vicinity, and seems likely to continue until the holidays. Trade has been rather quiet, but big preparations have been made for the holidays. Christ- mas red is in evidence everywhere and all stock is being prepared for the occa- sion. Most places in town have a good stock of poinsettias and azaleas, but begonias seem to be scarce. Cut stock is plentiful enough to go around each day, and it seems as though it will not be as high as in former years. Violets, for some reason, have kept up in price since Thanksgiving. All the week they have sold for $1.25 and $1.50 per hundred, which is too high for this season. Holly has arrived in large quantities in the commission market. Low prices pre- vailed last week, but the stock is small and rather poor. W. J. Palmer has gone to Bermuda to rest up for the holiday rush. Mr. Palmer has been failing to a certain degree and has needed the rest. E. Geaniteville, N. Y. — Robert Thomp- son, florist, was recently indicted for arson, but at the trial in the Bichmond county court the evidence proved his complete innocence and he was promptly acquitted. 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 17, 1908.

For the first time for a long while the demand has been equal to the supply, and even carnations were called for and got nearly the right price for this season or the year. The general conditions seem to have improved all around and prices on roses and carnations were advanced; toy Saturday night these flowers were •scarce. Fine Beauties were much in evi- dence, and lilies and Paper White nar- •cissi were still to be had. Taken all around, it was a good week for the wholesalers. The retail men also admit an improve- ment. The funeral of several prominent people helped, and there were also several decorations. The shops are looking their best just 310W, all of them being filled with beau- tiful plants, ferns, begonias, primulas and a general assortment of nice things. The shopmen all declare they are going to cut out high priced cut flowers and sell plants. But take it from me, if they see an opportunity to sell a box of flowers on which the profit will be three times what it would be on the plants they would be likely to sell to the same person and not one-third the trouble to pack and deliver, they will not force the plant sale very hard. There is plenty of room for the plants, but the necessity for the cut flowers still exists and they will be in the market for their usual stock whether they want to be or not. Florists* Club Outing. The members of the Florists' Club responded to President Burki's invitation to visit the Pittsburg Bose & Carnation Co. last Thursday. A number of them started early in the morning and took in the places at Allison Park, and then joined the main body, which left on the 1 o'clock train.

Mc Williams, Natrona, Pa.; C. A. De Muth, Connells- ville, Pa. The balance of the party was made up of growers about the city. The Pittsburg Eose & Carnation Co. has a 250-acre farm, with a village of one hotel and twelve dwelling houses for their employees, who look after the stock under a quarter of a million feet of glass. The stock grown consists of Kiilarney, Bich- mond, Maid, Bride, Chatenay, Jardine, Perle, Cusin and Bon Silene roses, all the best carnations. Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri. The verdict of those who know a good thing when they see it was that, taken as a whole, they never saw anything better. The houses themselves were considered by some as too good and expensive for commercial houses, and the stock compared well with the houses, par- ticularly the carnations. To anyone not connected with the business it would have been a surprise to hear that lot of grow- ers showering praises on Mr. Burki and his staff of workmen. There certainly is not as much jealousy among the growers as among some other people. After all the greenhouses, boiler houses, and heating system had been looked into, the party adjourned to the long packing house, about 50x200 feet, where they looked into the cooling sys- tem.

If Chi- cago can, what's the matter with Pitts- burg? The first shipments of Christmas trees are here. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. was in a bad way Saturday explaining things to customers. Their violets did not get in until night ; they reported the train snow- bound. William Lauch was a visitor for the first time in two yojir.s.

As usual, the chrysanthemums of Thos. Baylis & Son occupied a conspicuous place in the decorations at the White House on Thanksgiving day. C. S. Pickel, of the Dingee & Conard Co., went south last week for the pur- pose of superintending the packing and shipping of the company's large stock of roses located there. The Conard & Jones Co. is still ship- ping, daily, large quantities of hardy shrubbery. Their business in this line has been unusually large this season. At the nursery Antone Wintzer exhibits with pride some fine specimens of new cannas, in full bloom. Shipments of mushrooms from this point are growing heavier every week.

The Market. While some of the store florists are complaining of business being rather quiet and collections slow, others have fine trade and report business good. Roses are not plentiful and the wholesale houses cannot supply the demand. Car- nations are scarce and bring a good price for this time of the year, selling at 3 cents to 4 cents. Stevia is plentiful at 2 cents a spray. Roman hyacinths are scarce. Narcissi are more plentiful, sell- ing at 3 cents. Poinsettias are now mak- ing their appearance, but there is little demand at present. Chrysantliemums arc about gone. They sold readily this year and none went to waste. White mums were scarce and sold at good prices. There have been a great many weddings and receptions this fall, which have made a good demand for the mums. Greens are plentiful. Bouquet green, holly and wild smilax have arrived here in great quantities and been placed in cold storage. Christmas trees are being stored away in cool cellars, ready for the rush. The weather has been wonderfully fine and warm. The days are just like spring. The coal man says, "No business." We are all looking for a fine Christ- mas trade,' as orders arc booked already and everybody seems to have money and times are good. Various Notes. R. S. Brown & Son are furnishing the downtown stores with narcissi and stevias, which arc fine.

The Alpha Floral Co. hlas been dis- playing more art in its show window for the last few weeks than heretofore, keep- ing the bulk of the stock in the inside cooler. They say that they are well stocked up on greens, such as holly and wild smilax, in cold storage. Mr. Smith, proprietor of the Monroe Greenhouses, has everything neat and clean. His carnations are fine and large. His large collection of cyclamens is look- ing fine, but will not be in on time for Christmas. His Primula obconica are fine, but late in blooming. Mr. Smith, being cramped for room, will probably build in the near future a range of houses out in some suburb of the city, S. B.

The conditions in the cut flower mar- ket this week are rather difficult to describe. Perhaps it can best be under- stood by taking the case of a wagon, or, let us be modern, and say an automo- bile, that is caught in a ditch. The ■wholesalers and growers have hold of the wheels and are pushing with all their might. They realize that they must push, or they will not succeed. Progress in all such cases is sjow, but when the car once begins to move, which is expected about next week, it will go forward rapidly indeed. Prices are advancing. It is most noticeable on roses; both the fancy and ordinary grades are in better demand at higher figures. Beauties are plentiful, and unusually good value for the season, at present quotations. Mrs. Jardine and Killarney come next. Both are fine in the special class. Richmond is also excel- lent, and selling fast. These four varie- ties promise to be strong factors at Christmas. Bride and Maid have ad- vanced in price, but they are not likely to be overplentiful next week. It seems more difficult to control these varieties than some of the others. My Maryland will not be a factor, and Kaiserin is but little seen. Carnations sold better last week, and it really seems as though the turning point had been reached in the long lane of adversity through which the divine flower has passed. Cattleyas are selling well. They have advanced in price to Christmas figures, with indications that they will not be overplentiful next week. Gardenias are also in demand. More of the small flowers are coming in, such as mignon- ette, bouvardia, pansies, and, last but by no means least, violets. Poinsettias are more in evidence. Romans and Paper Whites sell poorly. Greens of all kinds are in demand. Before closing, it is only necessary to add that valley is a strong factor. Indications for Christmas. While it is impossible to give any certain information concerning Christmas flowers and greens, a careful survey ot the field the week before Christmas leads to the belief that flowers generally, bar- ring unexpectedly adverse weather, will be plentiful. There are a few exceptions to this rule, notably poinsettias, which have acted badly this season; and cat- tleyas, which have sold better than usual before Christmas. Brides and Maids of good quality will also be rather shy. Hardy greens promise to be unusually fine, holly exceptionally so. Dutyr on Seeds. The American Seed Trade Association,, the Wholesale Seedsmen's League and D. M. Ferry & Co. have united in petition- ing Chairman Payne, of the Ways and Means Committee of Congress, that the duty on vegetable seeds be changed from ad valorem to specific duties. The pres- ent duty is thirty per cent ad valorem. In its stead it is proposed to substitute a specific duty that will yield the govern- ment practically the same revenue, but will be fairer to those importing seeds. This action was decided upon at a meet- ing of the committee of the American Seed Trade Association held in New York December 2. Its representatives went to Washington to present the schedule agreed upon. The Seedsmen's League, which met in New York on the following day, telegraphed its endorse- ment of the association's schedule to Washington. D. M. Ferry & Co. were represented at the meeting on December 2. It is believed that this practically unanimous endorsement of the specific duty by the whole organized seed in- dustry will carry great weight at Wash- ington. Edgely. The greenhouses of the Floral Ex- change represent a definite idea in the business world. It is the effort of cap- ital to place our calling on a business basis. Viewed from this standpoint, the plant of the Floral Exchange is of ab- December 17, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 27 sorbing interest. The keynote in the con- struction of the greenhouses is economy in cost, put into effect in exceedingly large houses, where the amount of glass surface required to cover a given num- ber of plants is reduced to a minimum. This saving in cost of construction goes hand in hand with the saving in cost Of operation, the amount of labor required in the large houses of the iloral Ex- change being smaller in proportion than in the houses of most of our growers. Another peculiarity in the manage- ment of the Floral Exchange, as com- pared with most of our growers' plants, lies in the longevity of the stock grown. Houses of roses are here seen that have been growing in the selfsame position and soil for seven or eight years and have attained a size that cannot be du- plicated in large places elsewhere in this district. Statistics prove that these houses have done as well at Edgely in their later as in their earlier ye&rs, the soil being unchanged beyond the ingredi- ents added in weekly additions by a "soup" of great strength. Still an- other radical difference between the business methods employed at Edgely and those at other plants, is the system- atic way in which the distribution of the product is managed. All the large mar- kets in the east are regularly supplied with flowers from Edgely according to their needs. The great advantage of this method can be seen at a glance, be- cause in times of overproduction at a given point Edgely will not suffer from dependence on that one market. These are the principal points that im- press Edgely most strongly on florists. One remains to be mentioned. Edgely is the creation of the active brain of a man who was not obliged to toil up the floral ladder. The significance of this statement will be readily grasped by every florist who has struggled to over- come adverse conditions, feeling that all his or her growing knowledge of plants was necessary to earn a livelihood. Edgely stands as an example today of the courage and perseverance of one set- ting out to discover an unknown world and pushing on in spite of all obstacles. Varioui Notes. The Robert Craig Co. paid off all its stockholders in full, principal and in- terest, December 15. It will be remem- bered that the creditors of the company were offered stock in settlement of their accounts at the time of the receivership, Mr. Craig assuring them that their stock would in time be redeemed. This has now been fulfilled. Mr. Craig and his son have received hearty congratulations from their many friends on the success- ful outcome of their efforts. Samuel S. Pennock believes that Mrs. Jardine is the finest midwinter rose on our market today, excepting only Amer- ican Beauty. Fred Ehret, who believes in having a choice assortment to show his customers, has some fine white lilac, grown by Raini- bault, of Buena, N. J., in his pretty Fairmount avenue shop. George Redles spoke before the Ger- mantown Horticultural Society December 14. The annual election of officers took place, the old board remaining practically unchanged.

The Market The market last week was in rather good condition and there was hardly any- thing in oversupply. It is beginning to look as though business has really started in for a good season. The up- town retailers had a busy week in .vork for social affairs. The downtown florists report a fairly good over-the-counter trade and a good deal of funeral work. The wholesalers are receiving ship- ments of extra fine roses and carna- tions and are disposing of them at fair- ly good prices. California violets are having a good run and are cleaning up- almost daily, with prices up to 75 cents per hundred. Chrysanthemums are al- most over, although some of the houses are still receiving some extra good blooms of Eaton and Mrs. Jerome Jones. But most of the mums and small stuff are only good for funeral work. Bulbous stock is improving in quality and quite a few Eomans and Paper Whites are now coming in. There are plenty of greens of all kinds, including bouquet green and holly. Decembeu 17, 1908.

The last meeting of the year of the St. Louis Florists' Club was held Thurs- day afternoon, December 10, in the Bow- man building. The meeting opened at 2 o'clock, with President Young in the chair and twenty-five members present. Several important communications were read, one from the national flower show treasurer, in which it was stated that the fifty per cent paid in was returned to the club. The committee on smoker reported that arrangements were under way and that the smoker would take place the latter part of January, the date and place to be announced at the next meet- ing. Wm. Mackle was elected to member- ship and Jule Schafer, an employee of Grimm & Gorley, made application. A. S. Halstead, of the St. Glair Floral Co., of Belleville, exhibited a vase of his neTj Twentieth Century carnation, of the Lawson pink variety. W. C. Smith was recommended by the club for state vice-president for Eastern Missouri of the S. A. F. The club decided to reconsider holding night meetings, as the last one was a failure, so afternoon meetings will pre- vail from now on as usual, on the second Thursday of each month. The treasurer's report showed a healthy balance. The club is now in fine shape financially and well up in membership. The question box, which closed the meeting, brought out a lively discussion. Various Notes. A. Y. Ellison, of the Ellison Floral Co., visited Chicago last week, buying stock for the holidays. C. Young & Sons Co. is showing a lot of well grown blooming plants at the Olive street store. Trade in fall bulbs has been brisk, also in funeral work. A great many extra fine funeral de- signs were made for the Hirshberg fu- neral. George Waldbart, C. Young & Sons Co. and Mrs. . Ayres each had sev- eral. The Bixby ball, held at the St. Louis Club, one of the largest held this sea- son, was decorated for by the Ellison Floral Co. They report that 500 Amer- ican Beauties were used. Hugo Gross, W. J. Pilcher and the Ahners, of Kirkwood, are sending the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. large consignments of extra fine California violets and carnations, for which the firm says there is a good demand. John Connon, of Webster Groves, re- ports a good run of trade in work for weddings, receptions and funerals. Mr. Connon grows a great deal of stock at his place, but often is a heavy buyer in our market. Fred Ammann's fine stock of roses are having a good run at C. A, Kuehn's. A. C. Canfield's and Bell Miller's consign- ments at this place are of good quality. Baer's Peoria carnations are, as usual, among the best in the market. Chas.

We notice a recommendation of this stock in an American contemporary, says the Horticultural Advertiser (English), and think it may be as well to warn our readers against investing in same, as it has been tried and condemned by our leading growers. If our recollection is correct this stock was introduced some ten years or so ago by Otto Froebel, and its remarkable vigor and quickness in reaching maturity seemed to promise a considerable measure of utility. It has not, however, made a good standard stem as was hoped, and its abnormal fertility in producing suckers is against its use in other forms. As far as we have gathered, the only point in favor of E. laxa as a stock is that it is ready to bud very early in the season and consequently may be utilized for buds from plants grown under glass. Buds inserted early push the same season and small plants of novelties may thus be had for autumn sale. We do not advocate this system, as, the plants produced under it would not give satisfaction under all condi- tions, but many are willing to sacrifice something in the modern rush to be first with a new thing.

CHARLES HENRY FOX, Sign of the Boie, Broad below Walnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. EocKTOED, III. — M. C. Sadewater, whose greenhouses are located on Tenth street, between Charles street and Third avenue, has opened a downtown store at 322 East State street. Meriden, Conn. — William Woodley furnished the decorations at the Win- throp hotel, December 4, on the occasion of the debut of Miss Dorothy Doolittle, daughter of Hon. E. J. Doolittle. This gathering was referred to by the news- papers as the most brilliant social event of the season here, and the decorations were correspondingly lavish and artistic. In the general color scheme, throughout the reception hall, the parlors and the dining room, palms, chrysanthemums and smilax were effectively combined. Ferns, potted plants and a variety of cut flowers were also used. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Advertisements under this head one cent a word. CASH WITH ORDER.

Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.; Sec'y and Treas., C. £. Kendel, Cleveland. The California growers are reported to be holding stiff for the same prices which they quoted last year. Onion seed values are thought to be in line with last year's. The Globe sorts, if anything, will be lower. CucuMBEB seed of the pickling varie- ties looks as though it will go as high in price as it did several years ago. The crop is small and the demand is likely to be large. The Barteldes concerns at Lawrence and Denver have issued independent and distinct catalogues this year, each an improvement on anything the firm has heretofore sent out. The holly market has stiffened up a bit this week. While most holly is good this year and prices have been moderate, there still is considerable stock not worth what is expected for it by the southern consignee. Some varieties of the newer musk- melon, usuaUy high in price, seem to be overplentiful and reports have it that they must come down to the level of the standard sorts. Some of the standard varieties are quite scarce and an advance on them is looked for. It appears that certain seedsmen feel it is permissible to pronounce the trade a unit when one and the same opinion is held by the Seed Trade Association, the Wholesale Seedsmen's League and D. M. Perry & Co. Now, that's no small com- pliment to Brother Bowen. Visited Chicago: S. F. Willard, of Comstock, Ferre & Co., Wetherfield, Conn.; Mel. L. Webster, Independence, la.; C. M.

The 1908 bean crop is far short of normal, but in certain quarters it is asserted that some beans have been car- ried over and that a plentiful supply is in sight. This may be so in some in- stances, but if the year 1909 develops an average demand for beans there is likely to be full realization of the shortage before the season is over. C. C.

In addition to the valley pips reported last week as arriving from Hamburg on the Patricia, there were 382 cases in care of P. H. Petry & Co. Eakly on the morning of December 9 there was a small fire on the second floor of the seed warehouse of the Amzi God- den Co., Birmingham, Ala., but the loss did not exceed $1,000. Mk. Hogg, of Hogg & Lytle, Ltd., To- ronto, growers of peas and other seeds in Canada and Michigan, is visiting the trade in England, but is expected home shortly after New Year's. It is reported that the canners are placing orders for peas at the advanced prices for next year's harvest. The advance looks high to them, but the con- ditions all around warrant an advance and there seems to be nothing else for them to do. The National Canners' Association is preparing for a record-breaking conven- tion at Louisville, February 1 to 6, and many seedsmen will be in attendance. Four special trains will run to the con- vention, one from Boston, one from New York, one from Baltimore, and another from Chicago. At the last meeting of the directors of the Wholesale Seedsmen's League Charles H. Breck presented a full and satisfactory report from the manager of the credit bureau of the league. This report and its recommendations so im- pressed the Board that a committee was appointed to confer with the manager of the credit bureau as to the practicability of greatly extending its usefulness to the seed trade in general. E. Nicholson, of the Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas, sends a copy of the 1909 catalogue and says: "We pride ourselves on this being the best catalogue we ever have sent out. This is the first year we have had a first-class litho- graphed cover and we think you will ad- mit it is a fairly good job." It is. It shows Nicholson's Southern Beauty to- mato on the front and Mean's water- melon on the back, in a way that seed buyers seem to like. It is reported from Pinneberg, Ger- many, that a considerable number of wholesale growers who send lily of the valley in large quantities via Hamburg to England, Norway, Sweden, Russia and the United States have not done the cus- tomary amount of business. The reason given is the unfavorable weather in the summer season. As a consequence of the lessening of the supply, the prices ad- vanced so that the one balanced the other. The prices are ten to twenty-five per cent higher than those of 1907. PURE SEED INVESTIGATIONS. In his annual report, made public De- cember 14, James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, speaks of the Department's work for pure seeds as follows: ' ' The pure-seed work has been ex- tended during the past year by the es- tablishment of testing laboratories in co- operation with the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Missouri Ag- ricultural Experiment Station.

In consequence of the unfavorable weather, roses are less abundant and many are not as strong-stemmed as could be desired. Carnations are fine and in good crop, except red; this color is always scarce at holiday time. Violets are not so plentiful as formerly, but sell well and at fair prices. The demand for Christmas greens bids fair to be as good as last year, and judging from the quantities put in by Brown's seed store and others there will be enough to stock up every grocery store in town. Some good holly is offered at $3.50 per case, a price not before attained in this market. There is another grade offered at $5, fine glossy foliage and better quality than the other, but it is having hard pulling when so satisfactory a grade can be had for less. Various Notes. Eli Cross has the front of his store fairly smothered with holly wreaths, green-wreathing, heather and loose holly. Henry Smith and the Grand Eapids Floral Co. have large quantities of pot plants of Paper Whites, poinsettias, Bomans and some azaleas, with the usual quantities of ferns, palms, etc. Crabb & Hunter have a quantity of well flowered azaleas and poinsettias, also pans of Eoipans and Paper Whites. Death has been busy in our midst and taken away one of our most popular florists, Frank M. Strong, president of the Grand Eapids Greenhouse Co. Eecent visitors included Adolph Gol- denberg, representing Ralph M. Ward & Co., New York; E. C. Pruner, of Hunt's, Chicago; Willis Kinyon, of South Bend, Ind.; E. L. Kinyon, Lowell, Mich., and D. D. Johnson, of the Nitrate Agencies Co., Chicago. G. F. C. INDIANAPOLIS.

LETTUCE WITH FLOWERS. Lettuce will grow in almost any hot- house temperature, if well ventilated, but it prefers the carnation temperature. Many florists could make considerably more out of their houses if they had a few boxes of lettuce on hand, ready to transplant whenever it is seen that a bench is to be empty for several weeks before needed for other plants. Even if only a small quantity is grown, it is a pleasure to have it and the grocer will gladly take it and credit it on the ac- count which is getting so big that it would be p pleasure to him to make the credit a? large as possible. The ut eight inches apart. Three or four inches of soil will grow a crop, but a little deeper is better. H. G. FUNGUS ON LETTUCE. We wish to inquire about a fungus which is ruining some of our lettuce. We have two houses in which it is al- most impossible to get plants to start at all, where the previous crop of large lettuce rotted off in spots at the top of the soil. A local experiment station has advanced the theory that the soil con- tained a disease called the drop, caused by a fungus called sclerotinia, and recom- mends steaming the soil, as a cure. Do you know of such a disease, and what would you recommend to eradicate it? We have used Bordeaux mixture and also formalin. Do you think that turn- ing the soil to a depth of ten or twelve inches, leaving the subsoil on the sur- face, would be of any benefit? If any remedy can be applied, please advise. H. & C. I think that your experiment station has undoubtedly diagnosed the case cor- rectly, and for this disease, as well as for many other diseases, especially in lettuce growing, I think that there is no remedy equal to the steam sterilizing, as recommended by your experiment sta- tion. Sterilizing by steam, properly done, so that the soil is heated to a temperature above 212 degrees for fif- teen or twenty minutes, will not only kill all insects and weed seed, but also all spores and germs of all diseases that may be present in the soil. This steam cooking may easily be done by placing rows of common 3-inch drain tile in trenches, running the full length of the bed, with the lines about two feet apart. Cover these with soil, throw old carpets or mats over the beds to keep in the heat, and then turn the steam into the pipe lines by having a box header at the end of the bench, opening out into r;ll the lines of tile„ and attaching the steam feed to this box. The Sargent sterilizer, made by George Sargent, Belmont, Mass., is a modern device and a good tool for afl lettuce growers to have. It is like a farm drag in appearance, but made of gas pipe, and the teeth are perforated to permit the steam to escape. It is placed on the bed and pressed down into the soil as far as it will go, then covered over and the steam turned into it. When lettuce plants are seen to rot in spots and die, they should immediately be removed and all rotted leaves with them. Then the soil where the plants were removed should be sprinkled with a handful of sulphur, to kill the spores of the disease; otherwise this disease will live on decayed matter on top of the soil, bits of straw and wood or manure, and be on hand to attack your plants again later. If you cannot steam the soil this sea- son, it would be well for you to clean house thoroughly and scrape off the top soil thinly, then turn it under deep, as you mention. Then, if you have no other plants in the betlseand^iio other houses connected, fumigate wi^ sulphur by burning it, and you will have a better chance of getting a crop again. But bear in mind that a healthy plant is like a healthy person, able to resist at- tacks of disease. It is when the plants are weakened by being too hot or wet, not ventilated enough or wet at night, that they become an easy prey and fall fast under the ever-present disease germs. A dry foliage, especially at night, with plenty of fresh air at all times and a temperature even and cool, means ideal conditions for the lettuce, but not for the diseases. Diseases flourish in conditions not favorable to plants. H. G, TRANSPLANTING ASPARAGUS. We are desirous of knowing whether or not a person will get better results by planting one-year-old asparagus plants or by planting the two-year-old plants. When is the best time of the year to plant? C. H. L. The majority of asparagus growers use the one-year-old plants when planting out a new bed. It seems to be the general opinion that they are better than two- year old plants for transplanting. Why they have this opinion few of them can give any good reason, other than that they have always heard that one-year-old plants are to be preferred or that they have read it somewhere. Perhaps some authority made extensive experiments at one time and published the results, which have been rewritten and taken for granted ever since. At any rate, I cannot see anything in it. After several years' experience in grow- ing asparagus and several trials or com- parative tests of one-year-old and two- year-old plants, I am decidedly in favor of the two-year-old plants. One of the greatest advantages in us-' There are no Dry Spots with The Skinner System of Garden and Greenhouse Irrigation. ===^== The Skinner Irrigation Co. TROY, O.

Mention The Review when you write. ing the older plants, is that in case the season is unfavorable, by being cold and wet or extremely hot and dry, they stand it much better than the smaller plants and there will be fewer vacancies in the field to refill with live plants the next spring. This is an important point in asparagus culture. If you have three acres of asparagus and about a third of the plants are missing, you really have only two acres. The time to plant asparagus out is as soon as you can work the soil in the spring — about the same time that the earliest potatoes are planted. Get good, sorted plants, whatever you do. I do not buy of the man who offers them the cheapest, but prefer to pay more for them to the man who can furnish the best. H. G. Houghton, Me. — C. F.

PLANTS FOR CARPET BEDDING. For the last few seasons there has been a good demand for carpet-bedding plants on the Pacific coast, and it is surprising that many of our larger dealers do not devote- more space to this kind of stock. Of th.e easiest growth and requiring so little attention, it pays well because of these advantages and also because of ready sale. Achyranthes in several varieties are usually not killed by frosts in Califor- nia. Often they are not affected at all, in which case cuttings can be taken at any time during December or January and put in flats in coldframes, or, better still, given a little bottom heat. If the indications are for cold weather, a good supply of cuttings should be taken in the fall' and rooted during the cold spell under glass. Geraniums of the many varieties used are treated in the same way as the achy- ranthes, the only care necessary being to see that they do not get too much mois- ture when they are in the process of rooting. Alternantheras are slightly more delicate than either of these and do not root c|uite as readily. They are quite susceptible to cold weather and should be given a little bottom heat. 0 Salvias are of the easiest culture and can be rooted in two weeks easily. Dusty millers will root as well in the open as under glass. Lobelias can be either broken up from large clumps or grown from seed. Usually the latter is prefer- able. Golden feather is best grown from seeds; also better plants can be had in this way. Ageratums can be grown either way, but seedlings make the best plants. Begonias are best grown from seed, which should be planted in Janu- ary under glass. They are rather deli- cate at first, but grow rapidly, and can be put outside after they are a couple of inches high. G. SAN FRANCISCO. ThcMafket Business for the first week in Decem- ber has been quiet. There is but little doing aside from funeral orders. The public apparently is keeping its spare cash with the intention of making a big showing at Christmas time. Flowers are comparatively cheap, especially in the line of carnations. The best fancy car- nations can be had at the rate of $3 per hundred and poorer stock is sold as low as $1.50 per hundred. We have had only a few nights' frost this season, and the weather since then has been so mild that there has been no tendency to cut flow- ers short. Roses are holding their own well, and the prices during the last few days have shown some signs of stiffening. The Largest Btock of up-to-date varieties ever grown in Loomis.

The business taken as a whole is in the best shape and largest volume since the writer has been interested in Tacoma, and that is a period of five years. The stocks in general appear to be in a healthier and better condition, too, and up to the present the local supplies have been equal to or more than the demand. We lately made a visit around among the growers and everywhere found the gen- eral appearance better than ever before. Good cuts of carnations seemed to be in sight everywhere, and better flowers than usual. The kinds planted were compara- tively few and not a place had the latest, except that one place had a few hundred Victory, which certainly showed promise to be a winner. The red carnation is not planted except in limited numbers and the way matters stand now the red will set its own price, and get it, too, within Obcbmbbb 17, 1908.

As a rule red is not a seller except at holiday times, when, of course, the supply is never equal to the demand, so we suggest that someone give us a liquid so that we may color a lot for the occasion. The green won't go at this date. Enchantress seems to be the favorite and will sell every day in the year, and in our opinion it — or one of its color — will always sell well. The White Perfec- tion and Lady Bountiful are two that are going to stay a while. Dear old Lawson ! Truly, it sounds harsh to hear: "Lawson? Why! You can 't give them away. ' ' I found two years ago it was getting hard to sell and most growers have dropped it. The color is not wanted any more and no varieties of similar colors can be sold readily; it wouldn 't make any difference if they had a stem equal to and a flower as big as a 12-inch sunflower. Everyone has reported poor business all summer, but we had a severe frost very early, which killed off the outdoor stock almost entirely, so that it made business jump suddenly in the stores and at retail growing establishments. Wc can see right now that the demand will not nearly be supplied for Christmas. Several of our growers will have a fine lot of good mums and that will mean good money, for we notice that since the election in November the call increased and that the best was none too good. I hardly know where roses will soar to for Christmas, as few are grown locally and this market is almost always shy on good roses. The same may be said of violets, but the violets from California are good and people buy them freely. Of course the odor is left in California, or on the train, but we sometimes are obliged to revive them with the atomizer and some water. Some few customers know it — and don't object — and some say they think them fine and fresh, and are contented and happy. Of course every one is glad to see others happy and pleased. Already we know of preparations being made for a larger stock than ever of outdoor grown flowers for next sea- son and we want to brighten our beau- tiful city up all we can for the admira- tion of the tourists certain to come to see Tacoma next year during the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exposition.

P. Gibson, a Calif ornian, will start a nursery at Phoenix, Ariz. B. F. Blount has been in the nursery business at Eagle Lake, Fla., for twenty- five years, growing citrus stock. Growers of ornamentals express every confidence that 1909 will prove a better year than any heretofore experienced in that department of the nursery busi- ness. The Globe Nursery Co., of Bristol, Tenn., which conducts a nursery at Wyn- dale, Washington county, Va., has pur- chased a farm near Blountville, Tenn., paying for it $25,000. The farm con- tains 500 acres and will be used for nur- sery purposes. The apple growers complain of un- satisfactory market conditions, but when the city housewife finds a peck of Northern Spy or Baldwin, costing 50 cents to 60 cents at the corner grocery, contains not one perfect fruit, can you blame her for thinking the consumer is the one who has a kick coming? INSECTS ATTACKING CONIFERS. Some species of conifers are liable to attack from different insect pests. Dur- ing the last two or three years, the arbor- vitae has been infested by a small cater- pillar which bores into the tips of the young twigs and turns them yellow and rusty, and soon gives the whole tree a very sickly appearance. It is said to be a serious pest in some parts of Canada. Dr. James Fletcher, entomologist of the Experimental Farms in Canada, gave a brief account of it in the annual report of the Experimental Farms for 1906. Dr. Fletcher states that large numbers of parasites a,re found active in connec- tion with the insect and there is every reason to believe the outbreak will soon come to an end. John Dunbar, of Boch- ester, in an address before the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society, said he had seen its ravages in natural arbor- vita plantations in western New York. "I do not know to what extent it prevails in this country," he said, "as the account in the Canadian report is the first pub- lished description I have seen of it. From the nature of its operations it can be seen that it is difficult to deal with by any spraying methods." The mite known to gardeners as red spider is a serious pest of some spruces and junipers in many parts of this coun- try. It is always worse in a dry season. It can be readily controlled where there is a strong pressure of water under com- mand, applied with a hose, but that is rarely available. Water applied with a hose from a powerful spray pump will dislodge it. John F. Johnston, superin- tendent of Paul Dana's estate in Long Island, who is an expert cultivator of conifers, has lately been using sulphur to destroy it on spruces and junipers. He blows it on with a bellows in the morn- ing when the dew is on the branches, fol- lowed at intervals throughout the sum- HnHaaninHDHtiHDMQHDaDHaanBnHDaMHnHDHnaDaDaaHaQHDHniainw Hardy Roses and Ramblers | ■ n H □ ■ □ ■ n M □ ■ D ■ ■ D ■ n ■ ■ n H D ■ a ■ n a M n ■ D H D ■ □ ■ ■ ■ □ H n ■ n ■ D H □ ■ n H D H n H n ^rOR FORCING I'he right time to buy Roses is when they are fre'sb and well-ripened.

It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory.

If the infestetl terminals are cut off as soon as detected in .Tune and July and burned, the broods of the ■weevils will be destroyed. Prof. A. D. Hopkins, entomologist of the United "States Department of Agriculture, states that this course, however, may destroy large numbers of valuable parasites. He recommends placing those infested shoots in a tight barrel securely covered with wire fly-screen netting, so that the para- sites may escape, while the beetles perish.

The Market The usual calm before a storm seems to have struck Detroit. While some of the florists have been very busy at times, things in general have been a little more quiet than for some time. The commission houses report a fall- ing off in orders. Short grades in roses, mostly pink and white, commenced to pile up. Carnations have also been a little too plentiful. Any good stock has found a ready market and the chances are that much of the stock on hano^ could be moved if it were first-class. If the number of Christmas shoppers seen at the stores in other lines about town is any criterion, then this Christ- mas will be a winner. Some of the large 'stores are already overrun with orders. Up to the present writing the holly seen about town has been poor, but this was mostly North Carolina holly. Christ- mas trees appear to be plentiful. So, also, is ground pine. Various Notes. Louis Colquitt died at the family resi- dence, 2076 Gratiot avenue, Sunday morning, December 13. Mr. Colquitt was 42 years old at the time of his death and was a son of the late William Col- quitt. He had been confined to his bed for the last two months. B. Schroeter has added a horse to his stables. H. S. WASHINGTON. Business Brisk. Weather conditions are favorable for the production of flowers and the stock coming in is of excellent quality. De- mand is good, all the retailers having a heavy run of social work, making good the prophecies that this will be our ban- ner season. J. H. Small & Sons had the big deco- ration at the New Willard last week for the annual dinner of the Gridirou Club. George Cooke says he has all that he can do. He was rushed all last week with dinners and debutante teas and also had the large decoration for the Boardman reception in honor of Presi- dent-elect Taft. For the latter 500 red and white carnations, with Farlcyense, were used on the tables, American Beau- ties being used through the house. All the leading retailers had a share of the work for the funeral of Mrs. C. S. B. Fish. Cooke had the family order. Mr. Marche opened his new store at the corner of Fourteenth and H streets December 14. He has an especially fine ice-box, built with a winding staircase on one side, with his office on top. He has as assistants James Meikeljohn, from the Knickerbocker hotel store. New York, and C. Louis Roy, formerly with J. Ful- ler, Leominster, Mass. His new wagon, in black and gold, looks quite nifty. A look in at Center market shows everybody there at work on immortelle, box wreaths and other Christmas designs. F. H. Kramer has an extra force adding to an already large stock of Christmas goods. J. Henry Small, after an absence of six months, is back in the store feeling fine. One of the most elaborate decorations of last week was for the annual dinner of the Order of Carabao at Rauscher's, A. N.

NIUFFER Springfield, Ohio Mention The Review when vou write NEWPORT, R. I. The annual meeting o^ the Newport Horticultural Society was held Tuesday evening, December 8. President Allan was in the chair and a large attendance of members present. Mr. Allan, to whom much of the prosperity enjoyed by the society during the last year is due, de- clined reelection. Mr. Coughlin, who also made a most acceptable recording sec- retary, declined reelection, on account of illness. The result of the election is as follows : President, James Eobertson; first vice- president, Samuel Speers; second vice- president, Wm. G. Postings; recording secretary, P. F. Reynolds; financial sec- retary, A. S. Meikle; treasurer, A. K. McMahon; sergeant-at-arms, W. F. Smith. Executive committee, John T. Allan, James Boyd, Bruce Butterton, W. S. Sisson. A. MacLellan, Stewart Eitchie, John P. Hammond, W. J. Mat- son, Wm. F. Smith, and the officers, ex- officio. The election of James Eobertson to the office of president has given great satisfaction to the members, without ex- ception. Mr. Robertson has steadfastly labored to further the interests of the society and, now that he is at its head, his endeavors in the same direction can- not fail to be in evidence. The report of the financial secretary showed the society to be in a good finan- cial condition. Thomas Galvin was awarded a certifi- cate of merit for carnation Wm. H. Taft. J. D. Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., was also awarded a certificate of merit, for the new white carnation, Georgia. D. M. Hinsdale, Mass. — L. B.

These varieties created a sensation at the National Elower Show, and were awarded TWO FIRST, ONE SECOND PRIZE, and $50.00 SILVER CUP. They were also recipients of many complimentary remarks made by amateurs and experts alike. These two types are coming more and more into favor each year and we feel confident that these collections are a great improvement over those now in commerce.

D. COCKCROFT, Northport, Lon^ Island, N. Y. COLUMBUS. OHIO. The Market. Trade has been fairly good for the last two weeks, with enough stock to go around. There has been a good supply of roses and carnations, with quality up to the standard. Paper Whites, Komans and callas are now added to the list of cut stock. The stores are taking on their Christ- mas garb of decorating material, etc. Azaleas, poinsettias, cyclamens, prim- roses and other Christmas plants are looking fine and there will be a good sup- ply in the market, which no doubt will help out the store men in good shape. Several of the large dry goods and clothing houses have put up elaborate decorations, which used a big lot of holly and festooning. There have been a num- ber of weddings lately that have made •quite a demand for decorative material. Mums are getting decidedly scarce and there will be only a few left for Christ- mas. Variottt Notes. The Florists' Club is contemplating another dance in the near future, when they hope to outdo the last one. Mrs. E. M. Krauss is able to be at her post again, but is still far from well. She reports business as improving. E.

Bobert Schenck closed out his business December 1 and is at present undecided as to what he will do. Mr. Gibson, lately with the Living- ston Seed Co., has gone back to Phila- delphia.

PROVIDENCE, R, I. Trade G>nditions. All the stores have received their holi- day stock of potted plants, ferns, etc., and the moderate weather has already given the dealers an opportunity to move many orders. Prices range well and buying is active. In cut flowers, carna- tions and roses, with narcissi, hold the away. A few chrysanthemums straggle in and occasionally lilies make their ap- pearance. Violets from local beds have fallen to less than half the normal cut, owing to the dark, damp days that have been experienced during the last fort- night. Various Notes. Representatives of Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, and Reed & Keller, ot New York, were in the city last week, calling upon the trade. John F. Wood has opened his new store at 167 Westminster street. It is one of the best locations in the city and Mr. Wood has had the interior attractive- ly arranged. A. Holscher is bringing in some good violets, although rather short in crop. The Keller Co. is arranging to open its new store, at 220 Weybosset street, the first of the week. O'Connor's windows, filled with poin- settias and English primroses, were one of the show attractions of Westminster street last week. The monthly meeting of the Rhode Island Florists' and Gardeners' Club will be held Monday evening. December 21, at which time plans and arrangements will be discussed for the annual banquet. J. F.

LENOX, MASS. , The annual meeting of the Lenox Hor- ticultural Society was held Saturday, De- cember 5, and was largely attended, President Jack occupying the chair. Let- ters were read from several of the judges at the recent exhibition, congratulating the members on the magnificent display and questioning if the same could be du- plicated out of Lenox. The treasurer and secretary read their annual reports, which proved the society to be in a prosperous condition, both financially and otherwise. The following were elected oflScers for the ensuing term: President, Allan Jen- kins; vice-president, Ernest Marsh; treasurer, F. Herremans; secretary, Geo. H. Instone. Before leaving the chair, President Jack thanked the members for their loyal support during his term. He stated that, although out of oflBce, his interest in the society would not diminish, and he trust- ed that the same good feeling would always exist among the members. He also dwelt at length upon the work of the society as done to further the inter- ests of horticulture and the high esteem in which the society was held, which every member might be justly proud of. The newly elected president, A. Jen- kins, has lately been appointed superin- tendent on the S. P. Shotter estate, Lenox. E. J. Norman, Erskine Park, was ac- corded a hearty vote of thanks for some exceptionally fine Flamingo carnations^ the color being especially good. G. H. L EVERETT, MASS. Two checks, purporting to be drawn upon the Winthrop National bank of Boston, and bearing the forged signature of Mayor Charles Bruce, of Everett, were foisted upon Clifford Tilton, December 8. Late in the afternoon an elderly, well- dressed man entered Tilton's shop and ordered a funeral piece which cost $9. The purchaser said that he had no ready money upon his person, but produced one of these checks, made out to Daniel Clark for $27. This Tilton cashed and gave "Daniel Clark" back his $18. Soon after the same man returned and ordered another piece, for which he presented the other check, for $21.40 By this ruse he received in change $6.40. After the stranger had left the florist called up the mayor to make sure of the checks and found them to be bogus.

The Market With mums practically at an end for this season, shipping trade last week was decidedly better, but the local trade, from the wholesalers' standpoint, is still un- satisfactory. The little dabs of mums grown by retailers in and about this city have a depressing effect on both ship- ping and local trade as long as they last; once gone, the market for other cut flowers becomes more active. Most stock cleaned up well last week, with the ex- ception of stevia, which was in excess of the demand. The unusually warm fall hastened on all stock and consequently there is no shortage anticipated for the coming hol- idays, so the man who does any pickling will be up against it, as usual. It's qual- ity that will count. Variotis Notes. Will Zimmerman is using poinsettias to good advantage in his window decora- tions. J. M. Fox had the decoration for the aimual charity ball held at the Hippo- drome, December 9. It consisted of large quantities of wild smilax and palms, with white bunting for a background. C. C. PoUworth Co. says that holly and other greens have moved well so far. Holton & Hunkel reported the arrival of a car of wild smilax December 10 and that the quality is fine. A fact worth mentioning is that all the wholesale growers of North Milwau- kee are in on Enchantress and the qual- ity is worth while talking about. There will be more pot plants, such as azaleas, cyclamens, poinsettias, etc., this Christmas than in previous years. The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. is figuring on doing a rushing business in pot plants for the holidays. It has quite an assort- ment, which are of good quaUty. Harry Lutey, of North Milwaukee, ol late manager of the Lutey plant, has taken a trip to England. He has not been in the best of health of late.

The indications for Christmas busi- tiess are good among the local florists. The display windows are beautiful in their holiday attire of poinsettia blooms. Sweet peas, violets and Beauties are coming on finely and carnations could not be better. Holly, southern smilax and ground pine are selling fast for •church and store decorations. Various Notes. The Erie Elks held their annual Lodge of Sorrow in the Majestic Theater buUd- ing last Sunday. The floral decorations were artistic and much admired. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallis have moved from Erie to "West Park, O. Miss Frances Burger, who has been •absent on a prolonged vacation, is seen again as saleslady in Offerle & Schaal's «tore. A. J.

Business last week could be called neither good nor bad. It ran along in a slow sort of fashion, but at the end was what we would call fair. The de- mand is just about enough to clean out the stock received at a fair price. Prices are not as high as they were this time last year, though the last few days there has been an inclination to bump them up a little. Carnations appear to be doing better than roses, at least so far as the fancy ones are concerned. There are still quite a few mums coming in and there will be plenty to take care of the demand till after the holidays. Double violets are not doing so well, but single ones sell out clean and bring the highest price. Bulbous flowers sell fairly well, -vvith a good demand for lilies of all kinds. Small flowers, such as Baby primroses, wallflowers, snapdragons, etc., sell well and at good prices. In a week we will be in the midst of Christmas business, but, even though it is so near, it is hard to figure out what kind of business we are going to do this year. From present indications, there will be a good supply of stock and it ought to be of good quality. It looks as if Maids might be scarce and, owing 4 4 R E V ERO'' THE INDESTRUCTIBLE HOSE MOULDED-SEAMLESS CONSTRUCTION NEW YORK MINNEAPOLIS Tlie above Illuiitrates the Non- Kinking Feature of Revero as Com- pared with the Old Style Wrapped Duck Construction.

Mention The Review when you write. to the heavy demand for red roses, there will hardly be enough of them, as is usually the case. In other lines of stock this market will be well provided and we will be especially strong on carna- tions. But in view of this, it will not be good policy to wait till the last min- ute before placing your order. Many thousands of carnations are shipped out of this market every holiday and the out-of-town orders are coming in every day. It is well to get your order in as early as you can; then you will be sure of getting at least a good portion of what you want. As is usual, there will be a good supply of poinsettias, and of the little odds and ends there will be enough to take care of all orders. All in all, we ought to do a good business. Variou* Notes. George & AUan had a narrow escape from losing their entire planting at their greenhouses at Oakley, by freezing. This occurred Monday, December 7. A break in the water main necessitated the city supply of water being turned off, which was done without notifying the above firm. They noticed that the supply of water in their boilers was going down, but before the cause could be discovered and remedied several of the houses had dropped below freezing. In some houses there was a good coating of ice. The rose houses went down to about 38 de- grees. The water was turned on in time to save the entire place from freezing, but not in time to prevent a great deal of damage being done; how much, it is as yet impossible to say. It looks as if they would have a good case against the city for damages and they have al- ready put in a ckim. Had they been notified that the water was to be turned off, they could have prepared for a sup- ply of water from a different source and thus have saved themselves from any loss. A regular meeting of the Florists' So- ciety was held in the club room Satur- day evening, December 12, but, owing to the absence of both the president and the secretary, not a great deal of busi- ness was done. However, the vice-presi- dent, C. E. Critchell, presided and Wm. Murphy acted as secretary, and the eight members present indulged in the discussion of various subjects and had a successful meeting. G. R. Gause, of Richmond, Ind., was a caller. C. J. Ohmeb. Decbmber 17, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. 67 Please Make Your Selection From This List. We Have no Other Prices. Last Chance. PBEPIIBE FOB (IHIIiSTPS Look at this photo! See what Godfrey Aschmann, the Araucaria King^, will do to favor his customers. He wants to make you a Christmas present and for the holiday trade he will charge you only half price on his Araucarias, and, as in photo, when the tree is cut its branches will sob and droop, so shall his prices when slaughtered one half. This is your last chance to buy Araucarias at ONE-HALF PRICE. Can't be Helped, down they go. Why, we have houses full of the choicest and lead the country in Araucarias. Have been in the lead in the past and am in the lead now and shall be in the lead in the future. He is Boss. Who is Boss ?

If not, make the experiment Try somewhere else and be convinced of facts and see what an immense bargain is offered to you in our specialty, that so well-known and admired decorative novelty Araucaria Ezcelsa. To make it possible for everybody to buy one of this evergreen Christmas novelty to glitter in their houses for Christmas, we decided to cut the prices in half, so low that it will beat the world's record and people will say Godfrey Aschmann must have lost his reason. He will quote you an Araucaria as big as an elephant, for 50c to 60c; a jumbo for 75c to $1.00 and a holy terror in size for $1.25 to $1.50. THE CIT IN PRICES.

If so, how does the price compare with that of coal? What sort of burner is needed and how much compression? Does such fuel give satisfaction? I am located in Michigan. S. J. P. Unless you have cheap natural gas, I know of no fuel as cheap for greenhouse heating as coal. During the year of the coal famine many attempts were made to utilize crude oil and oil products as a substitute for coal, but as soon as coal was available everybody, so far as I know, returned to coal or gas. Through- out Texas crude oil is used as a substi- tute for coal in most locomotives and stationary power plants. The oil, a heavy one, is sprayed into the fire-box with steam under considerable pressure, and thus produces a combustible mixture which maintains a high heat at a mod- erate cost, as the oil is cheap. I do not think, however, that it could be used with low pressure steam or hot water as easily as on high pressure plants and locomo- tives. L. C. C. A LEAN-TO VITH A PARTITION. We are planning to build a lean-to next spring. W^e intend to put it up against a building which faces south. On the west is a greenhouse fifty feet long, and on the east are two connected houses, jeach fifty feet long. These three houses run north and south and are con- nected with the building against which the lean-to will be built. The range is located in Massachusetts. The lean-to will be 20x28, with a par- tition running the length of it, so as to make the north room fifteen feet wide and the other five feet wide. We intend to grow cucumbers in the wider room and violets in the other. We will dig into the ground three feet, thus bringing the benches on a level with the top of the ground. We intend to have the partition of glass, or do you think wood would keep the heat out of the violet room better? How much piping will be re quired, using hot water, to maintain the right temperature in the two rooms, with the outside temperature 10 degrees or more below zero? Would it be better to have the flow overhead and the returns under the benches? The boilers are in the basement of the building against which the lean-to will be constructed, and will be not more than eight or ten feet from the lean-to.

The house that is farthest east will be used as a cold house, with a temperature of about 40 degrees at night. Thus the plants requiring most heat would be nearest to the boiler. Do you think it would be too warm for violets in such a place? E. Ij. J. 'I should use a glass partition between the two parts of the house, if it is de- sirable to divide it in this fashion.

I have two boilers con- S*Pl!ftERS Consider the Facts The liability of accident to boiler is a serious contingency with the florist. The Divided Section in Capitol Boilers means that this contingency can be taken care of promptly, and repairs made in short order — in fact, so quickly that there is no danger of injury in the greenhouse, even in zero weather. Again, Capitol Boilers will take any kind of fuel, and by reason of construction, giving the utmost limit in prime heating surface, there is no fuel waste, every heat unit counting. Again, Capitol Boilers require very little attention. Here is safety with economy. Herbert S. Nase, Sellersville, Pa., writes: "The Capitol Boiler has given me entire satisfaction; so much so that I purchased one more today for heating my greenhouse No. 2." Call or correspond with any of our Branches or Sales Agencies and they will furnish you with the testimony of hundreds of satisfied florists who are using Capitol Boilers and speak from experience. It is better to be safe than sorry. Put in a Capitol Boiler. llBited Slates Heaterfompany. General Offices and Works : Fort Street and Campbell Ave.. DETROIT. MICH.

The boilers are of the return tubular type. W. H. M. It is not customary to partition a smokestack into flues, but in the con- struction of house chimneys this is a common practice. From what you say of the size of your' boiler and the size of the stack, I fear the stack is too small for both boilers. The forty-five horse- power boiler should have at least a 24- inch stack, and the thirty-five horse-power boiler should have about a 22-inch stack. It may be desirable to put an iron stack on one of these boilers, in addition to the brick chimney. L. C. C. THREE CONNECTED HOUSES. We are erecting a range of three greenhouses, each 33x110, connected and running north and south. We are using 18-foot rafter bars. There are glass gables and two feet of glass in the sides. We intend to use the houses for growing carnations and a general line of bedding plants, and we wish to heat to 56 de- grees in zero weather, using steam. How many runs of l^-inch pipe will be re- quired? We will have five rows of benches and would like runs under each bench. The boiler room will be at the southwest corner of the greenhouses, with a potting shed 16x99 feet. We should like all pipes connected with a cut-off, so that any pipe can be used as desired. Can these pipes be fed by a 4-inch pipe running across the north end and returning to the boiler? If so, do the l^^-inch pipes returning to the 4-inch pipe require to be reduced to a %-inch pipe to keep it from pounding? Where should the air valves be placed? A. J. B. There is nothing to indicate the loca- tion of this plant except "zero." Mj plan for piping this plant would be to carry a 4-inch pipe from the boiler to the center of the first house, carrying the pipe nearly as high as the comb of the house; here take off a 2-inch flow to run under the ridge of the house to the far end and return ^y fifteen 1 14-inch pipes under the benches. From the cen- ter of the west house continue the main flow. pipe in the potting shed by the use of 3-inch pipe to the comb of the middle house, and take off a 2 -inch flow for it, to be carried to the far end and return by twelve l^^-inch pipes. From the comb of the middle house carry a 2-inch line to the comb of the last house and continue it to the far end of the house, to feed fifteen 114-inch returns. The range will thus be provided with an in- dependent flow for each section and fif- teen, twelve and fifteen returns, respect- ively, or forty-two 1%-inch returns in all. These returns can all be emptied into a 2-inch main return, and as many as desired may be valved to provide a range of temperature for the control of the plant. L. C. C. Pana, III.— R. O. Henderson, proprie- tor of the Pana Greenhouses, will tear down the old houses and rebuild next season. He has purchased glass and pipe to erect an addition of 7,500 feet of glass. He will use iron gutters and build cement benches.

JERSEY CITY, N. J. BALTIMORE. The Market. Another satisfactory week has passed. The first part of the week saw a slight scarcity in general stock, which was re- lieved somewhat towards the latter part. The weather is all one could desire; it is bringing stock out in fine shape, and with these conditions the prospects for Christmas are good. In reviewing the November business, it is safe to assert that trade throughout the month exceed- ed by far that of previous seasons. So- cial aifairs were numerous and of ex- ceedingly good proportions: Funeral work was plentiful and shippers report a greatly increased business. An occa- sional shortage in some lines was noticed, but generally the supply was well up to the demands. Carnations are selling well. The qual- ity is first-class and the supply fully up to the demands. Some extra fine En- chantress are to be seen. White Perfec- tion seems to have made a hit with a number of the growers. Violets are good and the demands are brisk. Most- ly singles are grown here. Roses are still in large supply. Bride, Maid and Golden Gate are most plen- tiful. Of Eichmond and Killarney there are enough to go around. American Beauties are not overplentiful. Sweet peas are arriving in large quantities and meet a ready sale. Various Notes. Richard Vincent, Jr., gave a talk on what he saw while traveling in Europe at the Gardeners' and Florists' Club Mon- day night, December 14. I. H. Moss, of Govanstown, has some of the finest carnations to be seen in Maryland and is cutting one of the heav- iest crops he has ever had. John Cook had one of the finest wiit- dow decorations on Charles street last week, composed of My Maryland and his new seedling red rose. Prof. P. N. >tovik, a teacher in the Maryland Agricultural College, was killed on December 9, while walking on the railroad track, on his way from Wash- ington. Prof. Novik was a native of Norway and had been an instructor in horticulture at the college for three years. He was unmarried and was 40 years old. Q.

There was a good call for funeral work last week and some good work was turned out. Much stock is shipped to the small neigh- boring towns, xiie quality is good. All the florists are busy preparing for Christmas and the holidays. It seems as if stock of all kinds will be plentiful. Holly is coming in and the quality is good. (Some good Beauties are coming in at present. The demand for them is good. Other roses are plentiful and clean up fairly well. Mums are all cleaned out. Carnations are in good supply and demand. Callas, Harrisii and other bulbous stock are coming in. A^iolets" do a little better. Some good sweet peas and stevia help to fill out in funeral work. Green goods are plentiful. The favor- able weather we have had here this fall has cut down coal bills considerably. There will be some good azaleas, cycla- mens, poinsettias, primulas and other blooming plants for Christmas this year. Some of the florists are busy making holly wreaths. Various Notes. S. S.

The much looked for shortage in cut flowers seems to be close at hand, which no doubt means an advance in prices at once. Carnations are moving better than heretofore, with indications of better prices. Boses have improved greatly in quality. Beauties are still coming in poorly. There are quantities of good lilies, valley, stevias, Eomans, Paper Whites and callas, all of which are sell- ing more readily than they have been, A Viut to PainesvUIe. A jaunt to Painesville was greatly enjoyed by a party of Cleveland boya December 11, visiting the different places in that vicinity. They called first on the Storrs & Harrison Co., where they were taken in hand by the ever agree- able Ed George, who showed the party around. Quantities of good stock were in readiness for Christmas, among which was a fine lot of Lorraine begonias, just right for the holidays. There were also some good Jerusalem cherries, peppers, and an exceptionally fine lot of arau- carias. A bench of ficus was in the best of shape, as well as many houses of young palms, which seemed to be in the most healthy condition. Mr. George then conducted the party to one of their cold houses for nursery stock, and the extent of such stock carried here goes to show what an enormous quantity of trees, shrubs, etc., is disposed of each year by this firm. The packing depart- ment is an ever busy place, as a great part of their business consists of mail orders. At C. Merkel & Son's place there are some excellent Christmas plants, among which were some good azaleas and potted ferns. The Lorraine begonias grown at this place are among the best ever seen in this market. Carl Hagenburger has a fine lot of stevia that is just ready for the holidays and also great quantities of Boston ferns that will be about right for spring trade. A bench of Boston Market seed- lings shows prospects of some good re- sults. Various Notes. Smith & Fetters were unusually busy last week, having had a large dinner, a wedding and a funeral on the same day, which consumed quantities of first-class stock. F. W. Griffin has been showing some nice windows of novelties for Christmas. The quality of violets received from the east is of the best, but the demand has been rather slow. B.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 83 The Word of a Man WHO KNOWS BY EXPERIENCE is the best guide any florist can have as to what is best and cheapest :: :: :: Why are over 50 miles of the "Garland Iron Gutter" doing service in the leading greenhouse establishments today ? Because its introduction opened up a new era in greenhouse building, and our method is today being generally used by all greenhouse builders. Write us today, asking us for our illustrated catalogue describing our various makes of gutters, posts, angle iron purlin, etc. Also for our pamphlet entitled 'Modern Bench Construction," Illustrating our method of making concrete benches. We also make a truss formation, to do away with purlin posts. Oet our prices on grate bars before ordering elsewhere: also steel and cast iron pipe and flttings. In fact, everything for the greenhouse, with the exception of mill work. AH Inqatriea will be cheerfnily answered. Geo. M. Garland Co.

We have for some years been hearing about "plant" holidays, but this is a pottery Christmas. Baskets and hampers have been so universally used in the last few years that the leading retailers have been looking about for something to give variety and novelty. They have found what they were after in the many lines of fine pottery which have been offered by the florists' supply houses and by the high-class pottery works. Of course, a great many hampers and baskets have been sold, but the tendency has been toward pottery and some of the leading stores have shown not only more of this class of ware than ever be- fore, but for the Christmas trade put in stocks of it which a year or two ago would have been thought wholly unwar- ranted by the possible demand. The pottery is of infinite variety and of qual- ity in keeping with the character of the stores — there is nothing too good for the high-class retail trade. There is just one feature about the sale of pottery in flower stores which is not pleasing; pottery in the majority of cases calls for small and not costly plants. But it has the great advantage that attractive combinations of lasting character can be sold at moderate prices. This assures the customers' satisfaction and a large volume of business. CHRISTMAS YEARS AGO. [Reminiscences of B. Schroeter, related be- fore the Detroit Florists' Club December 16, 1908.] My Christmas remembrance dates back as far as the year 1873 — a long time, thirty-five years. Since then the florists' business has had several evolutions. The largest commercial greenhouse establishment in Detroit in my early days was that of Hubbard & Davis, on the comer of Twen- ty-fourth street and Fort street west, where the plant of Mr. Taplin now stands. Mr. Taplin was manager for Hubbard & Davis at that time. New Year's the Day. la those days New Year 's business was ahead of Christmas, but as time wore on Christmas began to forge ahead until the two days were about even. New Year 's day was the great day for calling, and, of course, the more well-to-do people sent many flowers, or took them with them on their caH^. I say many flowers were used. We considered it many in those days, for flowers were then counted by the twos and threes and not by the dozen or hundred. It was not long be- fore the calling became a nuisance to about everyone but the florists and soon the fad died out. This ended the New Year's day business and Christmas be- came the banner day. Stock Available. The few flowers at our disposal at that time were poinsettias, double primroses, camellias, bouvardia, Eoman hyacinths and a few roses, such as Marechal Niel, Lamarque and Gloire de Dijon, all run- ning roses grown on the rafters. Few carnations were to be had. In white we had only De Graw. The only pink was The baskets themselves were made, of wire and then painted white. The ordi- nary Swiss moss baskets, such as are still in use in small sizes, were also ob- tainable in large sizes. Sheet moss, which we ourselves gathered in the woods, was placed in the basket and for a foun- dation or background the whole plants of lycopodium, which we grew under the benches in the greenhouses, were used. The flowers all had to be wired and the wire stuck into the moss. Tooth- picks were not known for florists' use in those days. The baskets looked about all alike. In the center a poinsettia flower was stuck and around this were several rows of some small flower, like double primroses, and to set off the whole and add a touch of beauty a camellia was stuck right in the center of the poinsettia. Perhaps you will not believe it, but some of these baskets brought as high as $6 to $8. No ribbon was used ill any of our work. Green and Plants. Green was about as scarce as flowers. We never thought of using the wild ferns, of which so many millions are used now. Neither did we have much smilax. The most popular green was tradescantia, A Wreath of Galax. one known aa La Purite. Its shade was similar to that of Lawson, but of course the flower was much smaller. The^e were also fuchsias, heliotropes, abutilon, callas; in fact, anything that had any resemblance to a flower was carefully guarded, or, speaking in twentieth cen- tury language, it was pickled until the holidays. The term cut flowers was hardly known in those days, few loose flowers being sold; the long stems of today were not available. Making Up Baskets. I used to make up quite a few bas- kets, but not as they are made up now. wandering Je\* Eose geranium leaves, rose leaves, or anything green we could find in the greenhouse, were used. Christmas green was unheard of thir- ty-five years ago. The first grouni>. Wired Toothpicks Manufactured by W. J. COWEE, BERLIN, N. Y. 10,000.... $1.75; .50,000.... $7. 50.

The few loose flowers stld were wrapped in manila papeF bearing the name of the florist, providing a ream of this paper was bought at one time. If less than a ream was purchased Me had to pay extra for printing, and such extravagance we could not .stand. The next step was the shoe box, for whiuli we sometimes paid a small sum to some shoe dealer. • The delivery question did not worry me as much in the early days as it sometimes does now, although wc had no covered wagons for delivering. The first, covered or top wagon that I can re- member being used in the florists' busi- ness was a wagon owned by Mr. Tabor, whose place our friend, J. F. Sullivan, rented in later years. This wagon, I think, Mr. Sullivan has told me he still has in use. The first florists' establishments in- cluded a few low houses, a barn and a potting shed, at one end of which was a small part reserved for office purposes. There were no flower stores in the heart of the city, as now. Some years later William Gladewitz opened a store under the old Russell House, on the Cadillac Square side. This store was later bought by John Breit- meyer, who, in the course of time, moved to Bates street. All the holiday business done in the early seventies, by all the florists com- bined, would probably not amount to more than that done by one of the smaller florists nowadays. THE BRUNS STORE. One of those itinerant photographers, who go about the country taking pictures in the hope that someone will buy when they see the prints, not long since poked completing a wreath of the same flower, while on the display case at their backs is shown the diploma for valley awarded to Mr. Bruns at the World's Pair flower show at St. Louis, where he also won a medal. One of the interesting features of the illustration is the showing made of jardi- nieres, fern dishes, grass-growing heads, etc. One side of the store carries sev- eral shelves on which stock of these is carried and Mr. Bruns finds this line to be not only useful but salable and profit- able. There is no reason why a retail florist should confine himself to cut flowers. While the custom so common in many European countries of combin- ing flowers and fruit in one store is not thought permissible in good stores here, there is no reason why the retail florist should not add to his profits through the sale of accessories, such as jardinieres, pedestals, fern dishes, window-boxes, wall pockets and other similar articles. Gold- fish also, with aquarium supplies, furnish a suitable and profitable side line. A NEW PORTLAND STORE. Clarke Bros., at Portland, Ore., recent- ly have completed the fitting up of a re- tail store which in its appointment will compare favorably with anything to be found on the Pacific coast, and with nearly all the best stores in the eastern states. The accompanying illustrations show the store as it appeared Thanks- giving day. One picture shows the in- terior from the tear, the other the show window from the street. The firm spared no expense for fixtures and other fittings and says that the money spent for a handsome and attractive store has al- ready proved to be a good investment, for sales have been increasing at a lively rate ever since the store was completed. Store of H« N. Brunt, Chicasfo. his camera in at the rear door at the store of H. N. Bruns, Chicago, and pressed the button. The result is shown in the accompanying illustration. The snapshotter caught Mr. Bruns in one of his few idle moments, but it was inevit- able that there should be a pot of val- ley at his right hand and it was equally characteristic that on the other side of the store the assistants should be just Clarke Bros, have a large range of glass just outside of Portland and an- other plant in California, with a second retail store recently opened at Oakland, Cal. Houghton, Mich. — The Lakeside Flo- ral Co. has increased its capitalization from .$2.i,0nO to $40,000, the increase of .$1.5,000 being preferred stock. • THE LONDON MAH^T. The Covent Garden market, in London, has been in about the same condition as American markets this fall — worse if anything. As late as the first week in December A. Hemsley wrote : ' * Trade has been quiet — unusually dull. One grower of some years' experience remarked that he had never before experienced such a bad trade. It is impossible to give ac- curate prices, for there is no amalgama- tion among the salesmen, some of whom waste their flowers rather than sell them at unremunerative prices, whilst others clear their stocks at almost any price. ' ' It is interesting to note that Richmond was making better prices than any other rose, the best blooms making up to 7 shillings ($1.68) per dozen in the mar- ket. Liberty is worth just a little less. Maid and Bride have made up to 3 shil- lings, or just about the price that has prevailed in the largest American mar- kets. The best blooms of American car- nations bring more at Covent Garden than in this country, say from 4 cents to 7 cents December 1 for fancy stock. The flower over there is not the leading item it is here, but the production is rapidly increasing. Chrysanthemums, because of the conditions under which they are pro- duced, always sell cheaper in London than in large American cities — even cheaper than they sold this off year. De- cember 1 special fancy mums did not fetch over 8 shillings ($1.92) per dozen at Covent Garden, while medium sized flow- ers sold at 2 to 3 shillings. Cattleyas could be had at $2 to $2.50 a dozen, gar- denias at 72 cents to $1.20 a dozen. Long strings of asparagus were worth not over 1 shilling (24 cents) each, smilax 5 shil- lings ($1.20) per dozen. LILIUM MULTIFLORUM. On November 25 I potted Lilium mul- tiflorum in rather moist soil and placed in a cellar, not watering them. The or- dinary temperature is 45 degrees to 50 degrees, but in cooler weather it runs down to 35 degrees. Is this temperature too low? Examining them December 5, I found the soil had reached a dry state and some roots were starting. What is the treatment needed now, next and later? What is the lowest temperature they will stand, also the highest, as I will not want them to come in bloom at the same time? What is the earliest date they could likely be flowered? The bulbs were not planted deep, in 4-inch pots, showing the bulbs, intending to shift later into a larger size. B. M. A. Your treatment so far has been all right, except that it would be better not to let the temperature fall below 42 de- grees to 45 degrees. It is an advantage to keep them somewhat on the dry side until the pots are well filled with roots. If kept saturated in the early stages of growth, the roots will nearly all decay, particularly if in as low a temperature as 40 degrees to 45 degrees. When the tops appear I would move the plants into a light, sunny house, kept at about 50 de- grees at night. I don't like to grow lilies any cooler than this at any time, except late in the season, when the flow- ers are expanding and retarding is nec- essary. Shift your plants from the 4-inch to 5% -inch or 6-inch pots before the roots become too matted, and water carefully until the roots find their way to the sides of the larger pots. Cover the bulbs and December 24, 1908.

We question if you will get these in for Easter, and unless you are anxious to have some thus early we would advise you to hold them back for Memorial trade.

In forcing, as high as 65 degrees to 70 degrees at night can be given, but flowers grown under these conditions lack the substance of those produced in a lower temperature. I prefer 60 degrees at night as a maximum. Allow six weeks from the time you can first see and count the buds until flowers will be expanded, in a temperature averaging 60 degrees at night. C. W. PANSIES FOR MEMORIAL DAY. Would you kindly tell us the right time to sow pansy seeds under glass, to have them in bloom for Memorial day, and also the temperature they should be grown in? A. E. E. The best pansies for Memorial day are sown the preceding August. If you will purchase seedlings of these from any re-, liable dealer they will give you better re- sults than those raised now under glass. Seed sown now should be given a night temperature of 50 degrees. Move into a rather lower temperature when the seed- lings have made their second leaves. A house kept at 40 to 45 degrees at night will suit the pansies. The best growers, who handle them in big quantities, always sow in the fall, and we would suggest your doing the same another season. C. W. HYDRANGEAS FOR EASTER. Will you please have someone, well posted in the forcing of Hydrangea Otaksa, answer the following question? How should Hydrangea Otaksa be treated to have them in bloom by Easter? This is my first experience with them. They were gotten from a well known eastern firm and were supposed to be pot grown, but did not have any soil on the roots. They had plenty of dark green foliage and the lower wood seemed to be well ripened. I potted them on arrival, No- vember 7, and kept them in a tempera- ture of 40 to 45 degrees until a week ago, when I moved them to 50 degrees. I kept them well watered at first, but late- ly I have kept them a little on the dry side. The foliage is all turning yellow and falling off and has a bad appearance generally. Is it natural for them to lose their foliage? The hydrangeas had plenty of roots and seven to twelve crowns and were about seven to ten inches high. H. D. S. The hydrangeas you received were probably field grown, and if you had treated them differently you might have had good success with them. After pot- ting them, you should have placed them in your coldest house, or in a coldframe. It would have been an advantage to ex- pose them to a little frost, just suflScient to cause the leaves to fall. The plants should then have been kept somewhat dry, but given all possible sun in order to thoroughly ripen the canes. It is natural for these hydrangeas to lose all their foliage before being forced. FOR A SMALL GREENHOUSE. I have a small greenhouse which I use for starting vegetable plants for summer crops, but have some few com- mon flowers which I started last fall from cuttings. Please let me know what would be the best paying flowers to raise in a house of the following dimensions: n Space under glass, 10x24 feet, three feet at eaves, seven and one-half feet to top of ridge, with two-foot center walk, two side benches four feet wide, contain- ing seven inches of soil; height from soil at eaves to glass, five inches; raised beds and heated with a brick flue under one side bench. I can hold the tempera- ture at 60 degrees in the coldest part of the house. I am located in a town of 4,000 population. G. C. H. A house of the dimensions you name and heated by a flue will have an un- certain temperature and arid atmosphere. Such flowers as roses, carnations, violets or chrysanthemums would be out of the question with a temperature as high as 60 degrees at the cold end of the house. Could you keep it at 40 to 42 degrees at night it would answer well for violets. Under the circumstances I think it would not pay to bother with any of these crops. It would do nicely for bulbous plants, such as tulips and daffodils, or anything not requiring much headroom. If you have a sale for bedding plants, such as geraniums, cannas, coleus, helio- tropes, etc., why not confine yourself to these? Remove the soil from the benches to allow more headroom. If you have glass in the sides, to lower the benches may help. C. W. 'Window of Clarke Bros., Portland, Ore. JO ^ ^i^vjj •vf.'yy^f'^ The Weekly Florists' Review. Deccmbsb 24, 1008. SPECIMEN PLANT MRS. TRANTER. The plant illustrated was grown by A. Herrington, of Madison, N. J. It car- ried over 800 flowers and was nine feet ten inches in diameter. I consider it as near perfect as it was possible for a plant to be. The variety is Mrs. J. E. Tranter, which is particularly adapted to such work, being very dwarf and break- ing freely after pinching. It is, of course, possible to have a plant of almost any size by combining several plants in July or August ana putting them together into one enormous tub. The plant illustrated was grown from a single stool and is to all intents and purposes a single plant, and some- thing that to the uninitiated is impossi- ble to produce in the space of one year. Such a plant in the national show at Chicago would have been the sensation of the show, and it is a matter for re- gret that millionaires are not so public- spirited as some of us smaller fry, or it certainly would have been on exhibition. Chas. H. Totty. NONIN WILTING. Is it characteristic of cut blooms of Jeanne Nonin to wilt in two or three days if placed in a room at 60 degrees? I had some six inches in diameter that two and a half days after cutting were VFilted to the size of medium carnations. O. H. C. While it is not characteristic of Nonin to wilt so quickly, still cases where it does so are by no means unusual. It is caused by the wood being so hard at the point where the stem is severed from the plant that the water cannot pass up to the flower. Nonin is not alone in this respect, many kinds showing this more or less, depending largely on how they are grown. A plant grown cold and on the dry side will have wood much harder than one more plentifully supplied with water. A plant that has received plenty of nitrogen in the shape of sulphate of ammonia or some such chemical is al- ways more pithy and will take up water more readily than a plant not so fed. We hear much less about Merza wilt- ing than we used to and I put it down to the fact that more growers use chem- icals than did a little while baek. 0. H. C. should split the stem up several inches and, if there are any joints in the stem, run a knife through the joints and get them below the water line in the jar. This gives the flower every chance and if it still wilts there is Kttle that can be done. C. H. T. EXHIBITION VARIETIES. Please let me know what is the largest white chrysanthemum for exhibition, and what color is Chadwick, also Eosiere, Beatrice May and Tousetf Are any of them good exhibition varieties? I have been looking over my catalogues, but can not find any descriptions of them. M. C. J. The largest one stem white chrysan- themum is Mrs, Norman Davis, with Merza a good second. W. H. Chadwick is a late white flushed with pink. Beatrice May and Touset are early whites and Rosiere an early pink. Bea- trice May is the only good exhibition variety, as Chadwick is always too late and Eosiere and Touset too early. A good lot of varieties to select ex- hibition kinds from is given in the Eeview of December 10, some fifty varie- ties being there described. C. H. T. TREATMENT OF NERINES. We have 100 bulbs of nerine, Guernsey lily. Kindly inform us how to treat these to have them in bloom by Easter. G. A. L. The natural flowering period for the nerines, or Guernsey lilies, is from the end of September until the early part of November and I doubt the possibility of either retarding or forwarding the bloom- ing time. If your bulbs are still unpot- ted, I would advise putting three in a 5- inch pot or five in a 6-inch pot of such varieties as Fothergilli major or corusca. Grow these along in a cold greenhouse or any pit from which frost may be ex- cluded. The growth should be completed about the end of May, when water can be gradually withheld, and by the middle of June lay the pots on their sides on a dry, sunny bank, where they are to remain un- disturbed until the flower spikes begin to show, usually about October 1, when they may be housed and watered. These bulbs will only flower freely when the pots are a perfect mat of roots and I doubt if your plants will flower more than sparsely the first season. Were it possible to have nerines in flower for either Christmas or Easter, they would make desirable novelties. Blooming when they do, they are useful, as flowering plants are scarce early in October. W. N. Ckaig. CINDERS FOR CONCRETE. I have a large pile of cinders and want to build a boiler shed of concrete. Can I use the cinders? How shall I pro- ceed with the work? What proportions of cinders and cement should be used? R. 0. H. If the cinders are from hard coal, the proportions should be one part of cement to seven of cinders; if from soft coal, one part of cement to five of cinders. When made from hard coal cinders, the concrete sets quickly and makes a tough, porous wall, which withstands the action of even the hardest winters in your Illinois climate. See that the concrete is thoroughly mixed before put- ting it in the frames. A thin skin of a finer mixture, in the proportion of one part of cement to five of cinders, applied to the surface of the wall, makes a nice finish. EiBES.

The clearing out of considerable flow- ering stock for the Christmas trade will give some needed additional bench space for the bedding geraniums. It never pays to neglect this best selling and most universally popular of all bedding plants. A little extra space given to each pot now will mean much to the ultimate value of the stock. If still in 2-inch pots, a shift to 3-inch will be timely. Be sure not to use cold soil, that which has been freshly carried in from outdoors. Many failures can be traced to using this. Keep the plants a little dry after the first watering until root action is active, to prevent damping off. Any cuttings carried over in flats should be potted forthwith. If these can have a bench under which hot water pipes run, to give them a little bottom heat, it will be found an advantage. Old stock plants potted or being grown in benches in a cool house will now have a plentiful supply of cuttings. Put these singly in 2-inch pots. Use sandy loam for compost. Give a little bottom heat and full sun. A night temperature of 50 to 55 degrees will suffice. Under these conditions ninety-five per cent should root. Never water until the soil has well dried out. All that is necessary is to prevent shriveling until the cuttings root. Show Pelarsfoniums. Show pelargoniums lack the persistent Decbhbeb 24, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review* specimen Plant of Chrysanthemum Mrs. J. R. Tranter. flowering qualities of the zonal section, but are so showy that they always meet with a fairly good sale in April and May. Many customers buy them at bedding-out time for piazza use, and if carefully tended they last in flower a long time. A cool house grows these best ; nothing over 45 degrees at night is required. Keep the plants pinched for some time yet and pot them along as needed, using a com- post of fibrous loam, broken cow manure and sand, to which can be added a dash of fine bone or Thomson's plant manure. Keep a watch over green aphis. These plants are special favorites of this pest and will quickly be smothered with them if not regularly fumigated. Cinerarias. Midwinter is the time when cinerarias make their most rapid growth. The early batch will soon be in bloom and will prove useful for retail trade in Janu- ary and February. Later plants are ready to go into their blooming pots. Owing to their fast growth, it is now necessary to respace them quite frequent- ly. When so doing, scratch over the sur- face soil and remove any bad foliage. When well established in their flowering pots, liquid manure can be used freely, for cinerarias are gross feeders. There are some attractive colors in cinerarias and some much the reverse. Some day we may get a hybridizer who will give us scarlet and golden yellow shades. These in the stellata type would be specially valuable. Cinerarias should always be grown cool and do not like a bright house. Hybrid Roses. Hybrid roses are not, grown by country florists to anything like the extent that they were flfteen to twenty years ago. The reason customarily assigned is that there is no money in them. To some ex- tent this is true, and under existing mar- ket conditions it "may be inadvisable to grow them except to a limited extent for home trade. There are always, how- ever, some wide-awake retailers who are on the lookout for some of them. There is a freshness about them that is lacking in the regular forcing roses, although their keeping qualities are hardly so good. Plants potted late in the fall and kept in a cold pit, close to freezing, since housing, will now have the canes well hardened and a small batch can be start- ed at any time. To get strong shoots, prune back fairly hard. Cut away weak shoots altogether. Leave four to five buds on the strong canes and two to three on those of more moderate growth. Start cool; 40 to 42 degrees at night is ample until they break. Spray over at least once a day. Any plants carried over summer in pots will, of course, break much stronger than fall potted ones and give better flowers. Azaleas. Quite a number of the early azalea plants will have been cleared out for Christmas by this time. It is, of course, much too early to think about starting any for Easter. These must be held in a cold house or pit, just clear of frost. There is always a sale during the winter for a limited number of nicely bloomed azaleas, however, and it will pay to start a few plants each week to fill these de- mands. Look over those being held back for Easter trade once a week at least. They will not require much water in a cold house, but if once allowed to become dust-dry the flower buds will probably be destroyed. Lorraine Begfonias. It is just a trifle early to commence the propagation of Lorraine begonias from leaves, but do not sell all your strong, healthy stock, leaving weaklings for working up stock from for another year. Kemove the flowers from as many as you want to propagate from and keep them in a light, sunny bench, so that the foliage can become tough. Leaves such as these will not damp off as will the soft, green ones generally used. While the Christmas market for Lorraines is the one most growers depend upon for cleaning out their stock, this fine begonia is really in better condition early in January and nicely flowered plants will sell for a couple of months yet. Do not keep the plants in a warm, moist house when in flower; a carnation temperature will be found better. Poiosettias. The poinsettia trade finishes with Christmas; in fact, apart from that holi- day there is little call for the brilliant bracts of these flowers. Sufficient plants should be retained to give an ample sup- ply of cuttings for another season. The pots or pans can be turned on their sides under one of the benches. If the plants have been grown on the benches, they can be lifted and closely set in flats of soil and kept dry until a crop of cuttings is wanted. Some growers use the same old stools year after year for culture in beds. We saw some a few days ago with bracts running up to twenty-two inches in diameter, produced on stools which were at least a dozen years old, each plant carrying six to twelve bracts. The old stools were to be thickly packed in dry soil iii a shed, we were told, until the time came around to start them again. We doubt, however, if it pays to carry over plants so long. Cuttings are so easily rooted that it would seem more economical to start a fresh stock annual- ly, even for bench culture. Gardenias. December and January are critical months for gardenia growers, who are banking on an abundant winter crop. Practically anyone can flower these plants freely in spring if only they have the necessary heat, but some skill is required 'Jf/i-t^T' •- '^ ,T»',-: ' ; V'V-J^'^ vVf.-'--- ■••r-- 12 0 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Decembeb 24, 1908. to have a good midwinter crop when prices rule high. No matter whether grown in pots or benches, watering must be carefully done. If the soil is kept constantly moist, dropping buds and yel- lowing foliage will result. Our experi- ence has been that if kept a little on the dry side and given a steady night tem- perature of 65 to 68 degrees, there will be a small loss of buds. When the benches have dried out well, soak thor- oughly and do not give any dribblings to keep the top moist between waterings. To keep mealy bug in check, one good syringing a week, if carefully directed through a spray nozzle, will suffice. In- judicious feeding is another cause of buds dropping. To keep foliage green, a little surfacing of soot or watering with soot water is useful, but it is better to avoid the use of chemical and animal fertilizers during the dark months. Bousainvilleas. Where the wood on bougainvilleas was well ripened and the plants have been resting for some time in a cool house, these will now be in a good condition for starting. Do not give too warm a house at first; 50 degrees at night, advancing to 60 degrees as growth proceeds, will suffice. Keep the plants sprayed over, but on the dry side at the root until they have broken freely. B. Sanderiana, of dwarf habit, makes a pretty commercial plant and one selling well at Easter, when nicely flowered. THE LOVERIDGE STORE. The accompanying illustration shows the interior of the store of C. Loveridge, at Peoria, the second city of Illinois. The picture was made about the middle of August, when no retail store appears at its best, but Mr. Loveridge is doing which they have been retailed in Peoria left what he thought to be an inade- quate profit. By concentrating his ef- forts upon the retail cut flower end, he has been able to build up that depart- ment and make it satisfactorily profit- able. There is no doubt that competition is the life of trade, but it is a mistake to conduct competition along the lines of price cutting; it would far better be in the matter of good service. Cut prices bring no man a profit. REFRIGERATION FOR FLORISTS. W. L. Kroeschell is one of those happy individuals who have the gift of seeing into the future; his dreams often come true. He gives it as his conviction that before many years artificial refrigeration wiJl be employed instead of ice by all large florists, as it already is by hotels, restaurants, etc. It is true that only a few flower stores now have artificial refrigeration, but the Kroeschell Bros. Ice Machine Co., which is owned by the same men owning the Kroeschell Bros. Co., boiler works, receives frequent in- quiries from florists, and it is thought the day is not far distant when florists' cooling rooms and display cases will regu- larly be equipped with artificial refrigera- tion. Indeed, a few wholesale florists have already installed ice machines, and several retailers use th^ system where it is a part of the equipment of the building they are located in. The Auditorium Annex, Chicago, operates the Kroeschell refrigerating system and a branch of it cools the ice-box in the Hauswirth flower store. Philip Breitmeyer recently ap- proved the installation of a Kroeschell cooling system in Belle Isle park, De- troit. He already has artificial refrigera- tion in his office building, operating the ^^ 1 ! 41 m F ■ ..^ ] •• r 1 ♦* ■ . . "* :♦■-.- P > I^^n^ Store of C Loveridge. Peoria, III. a nice business. In years gone by his principal work was in outdoor planting, in window-boxes, cemetery-vases and bedding, but for the last two years he has done practically none of this work, and has turned his attention to the re- tailing of cut flowers and the better class of plants. He dropped growing bedding plants for the reason that the prices at retail flower store cool-rooms in connec- tion with it. Most of the artificial refrigerating plants use ammonia, but the Kroeschell system employs carbonic anhydride in place of the ammonia. It is contended that it is more economical than ammonia, and that the dangers of an ammonia plant are eliminated. The Kroeschell Bros. Co. has just completed installing a twenty-ton plant at Newport, R. I., for the United States government. The plant is required to cool 300 gallons of drinking water per hour to 40 degrees, to keep the storage-room at 22 to 28 degrees and to freeze two and one-half tons of ice a day, these requirements giving some idea of the many uses to which such a system can be put. The Kroeschell Co. states that it recently has been fig- uring with the Julius Eoehrs Co., Ruther- ford, N. J., and a number of other flo- rists who have ambitions to possess their own cooling facilities independent of the ice-man. -And it is figured to be only a question of time when every large con- cern in the florists' line will be thus equipped, for it is mighty convenient for the florist to have control of low tem- peratures. GLADIOLI FOR MEMORIAL DAY. . When will it be time to plant gladioli to have them in bloom for Decoration day? A. C. E. The large flowering gladioli of the Gandavensis type will be in time for Memorial day if planted early in Febru- ary, in a house kept at 48 to 50 degrees at night. The small flowering gladioli of the Colvillei, cardinalis or nanus section should be planted at once in flats and grown in a cold house until March, when they can be moved into a house such as is recommended for the large flowered type. These small varieties can be kept in a cellar for a few weeks, but as they start to grow, soon after planting, should have a light position. C. W. ANTIRRHINUMS. Please tell me when I should sow antir- rhinums, to have them in bloom for Me- morial day? O. H. C. Get the seed in at once. Sow in flats in a temperature of 60 degrees. When germinated they will do better in some- what cooler quarters; 50 degrees at night is sufficiently warm. Pot off singly when large enough to handle. This is a much better plan than pricking off in boxes and from these transplanting to the benches. Purchase the tall antir- rhinum seed, and you will flnd separate shades of colors take better than mix- tures. C. W. USEFUL OUTDOOR FLOWERS. We want to sow some flower seeds out- doors next spring, to be used as small flowers in floral designs. Can you give us the names of the best varieties for that purpose? We always use roses and carnations, but it takes a small flower to give it the finish. S. F. C. Sweet peas are the best and most persistent flowering of hardy annuals and suitable for design work. Many of the hardy perennials are useful. A few specially valuable ones are: White phloxes of the decussata type, Achillea Ptarmica, the Pearl; Delphinium Chi- nense, blue and white; several of the spiraeas, such as astilboides, compacta^ venusta and the new Queen Alexandra; Physostegia Virginica alba. In sowing sweet peas a good selection would be: White, Dorothy Eckford; lav- ender, Lady Grisel Hamilton; orange- pink, Miss Willmott; soft pink, Gladys Unwin; blue.

While it is early to begin propagating, it is time to decide what varieties are to be continued. During the interval be- tween now and the starting of propaga- tion, the plants which are to furnish the cuttings should be chosen. The hybridist, in selecting the parents of a new variety, is very exacting in his choice of both the plant which is to bear the seed and that which is to furnish the pollen. Every characteristic is consid- ered— vitality, habit, leaves, distance be- tween joints in stem, rigidity of stem, bloom, etc. It is not enough to be guided by per- fect blooms alone, as at times a small, insignificant runt, or a plant below the standard of excellence and health, will produce a chance bloom or two of" high quality. Keen Perception Needed. The grower, in selecting cuttings which are to make the plants for his next year's stock, must in a measure possess the keen perception of the hybridist if he is to hold any claim to the title of a skilled propagator, which means that he should not only perpetuate the good qualities of his varieties, but aim to improve them. The mere act of taking cuttings pro- miscuously from a lot of plants, and in- ducing a large percentage to take root, does not entitle a man to be called a skillful propagator, although he may be so considered by those whose interest in the carnation is confined chiefly to the sale of rooted cuttings. Success with carnations depends on vitality. If the plants lack vigor through the ravages of insect pests, thus becoming peculiarly liable to attacks of disease, or if they have been pampered by rich food and too high temperature, it is only courting fail- ure to propftgate from such as these. The evil effects of such conditions would, however, be apparent to the most casual observer. Vhere Many Fail. It is in the case of plants which have produced an unusual number of blooms early in the season that many propa- gators are led astray and fall down. The conclusion is immediately reached that these early producers are the ones to in- crease in preference to all others, when in reality they are not true representatives of their variety; we would define them as being precocious. It is unreasonable to suppose, in propa- gating from plants which during a short period have produced a considerable num- ber of blooms, that the offspring will prove profuse bloomers. We would, how- ever, be safe in assuming that this ab- normal yield was due to local conditions or environment rather than to any in- herent quality. It might, also, indicate a cropper. The Ideal Plant. It is the plant which in the field was conspicuous by its thriftiness and trim appearance, and which, when benched, took hold of the soil readily, but instead of running prematurely into bloom, pro- ceeded to fill the space allotted to it with numerous strong flowering shoots in various stages of development — this, to my mind, is the style of plant from which to propagate, provided, of course, that its bloom passed inspection. It is true that, among a hundred, there are not many plants of this description to be found, especially in the case of new- ly acquired varieties, and for this reason I have always advised purchasing in quantities large enough to afford latitude for selection when propagating. Now, it would be unreasonable to ex- pect to purchase in the market rooted cuttings from such carefully selected plants. Not only would the price be pro- hibitive, but the supply would be inade- quate. We must not expect too much from the dealer in rooted cuttings; he is not responsible for lack of care or the abuse that his goods may receive at the hands of the grower. There is much to be said concerning this and relative subjects and I shall en- deavor to treat them fully during the next four weeks. Geo. S. Osborn. SUCCESS WITH CARNATIONS. [A paper by Edgar McConnell, of Wllkes- barre, Pa., read before the Florists' Club of Scranton, Pa., December 11, 1908.] Carnations are grown and sold in great- er numbers than any other flower, not excepting the rose. Millions of blooms are produced every season and millions of dollars are invested in their culture. The large sized flower now produced and its many beautiful colors, with its good keeping qualities, make it the most popular flower in the market. The ever increasing demand each season for more and better flowers is causing many car- nation growers to ask the question, "What is the best way to grow them?" I shall, in answer, try to impart my method of growing, with the success and failures that followed. At this time of the year, when all carnation growers are propagating new stock or getting ready for that work, it is well to remember that what you do now in selecting cuttings and varieties will result in healthy or sickly plants, and houses that will or will not pay. My way, where possible, is to take cuttings from blooming stems only, and from plant* which are nearest the true type of the variety used and which seem to be perfectly healthy. In this way you will improve your plants, for there is no doubt that the cutting reproduces the plant from which it was taken, in so far as inherent health is reproduced. The Propagfatin^ Bench. The cutting bench is another thing which requires careful attention. A northern exposure is preferred, but any bench with one or two heating pipes underneath, with drainage, will do. Three inches of sharp, clean sand, pounded firmly down and level, will make a good bed in which to insert the cuttings, pro- vided you have applied to the bottom and sides a heavy coat of whitewash. With such a bench, failures are seldom made. A temperature of about 55 degrees over the bench, and a few degrees warm- er underneath, is about right. Water the cuttings freely. Never allow them to wilt. Keep the air fresh and pure, without draughts. With such care, bench fungus is not likely to appear. This bench fungus, in my opinion, is the pri- mary cause of the stem-rot that cuts the plant off at the surface of the ground. An Experience With Bench Fundus. I will cite one experience that led me to this opinion. Bench fungus appeared in a portion of my cutting bench. Im- mediately all cuttings infected, together with a wide margin in the apparently healthy cuttings, were removed. In planting the rooted cuttings, a number of the plants that surrounded the in- fected spot were boxed by themselves. As soon as they began to grow, stem-rot developed. Late in March or early in April, the boxes, with what live plants remained, were set outside of the hous«s, subject to such weather as is usual at that time of the year. Stem-rot ceased. At late planting time in the field, they were apparently good, healthy plants. Set in the field, all of them died with that same disease before planting time in the houses. The cuttings from other portions of the bench were healthy plants, . free from the rot. This experience, with others of the same nature, leads me to believe that bench fungus is at least the primary, if not the immediate, cause of this peculiar disease. For this and for bench fungus there is no cure and they must be exterminated by propaga- tion from healthy plants and burning all infected stock. WW^^f^Tv' u The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Decimbeb 24, 1908. Colttirc in the Field. With well hardened stock, plant early in the field and early in the houses. From about July 20 to September 10 all that work should be done. Field cul- ture requires no great skill. Have the ground rich enough to produce a vigor- ous growth of the young plants. This is necessary, as the early planting in the houses gives the plants only a short time to gather health and strength for the work expected of them in the future. The way of planting, the distance be- tween plants and other details of the work in the^ field are left to your own way of doing such work. Shallow culti- vation in the rov^, merely breaking the crust of earth around the stems of the plants, will produce the best results. Dur- ing drought the frequent use of the culti- vator will help the plants to maintain a healthy growth. The topping or cut- ting back of the plants in the field should be attended to regularly. Never allow the branches to develop buds in the field. Aim to have upright, bushy plants, the best that can be grown. Housing: of the Plants. To transplant the plants from the field to their permanent quarters in the house requires careful work. In this opera- tion careless workmen are worse than none. "With clean houses and the benches thoroughly whitewashed, the work of soiling the benches may proceed. This soil should be taken from a field which bore a cultivated crop the previous year. Such soil, with an application of from four to six inches of well rotted barn- yard manure in early spring, well plowed under and frequently replowed, with a liberal amount of raw bone, medium fin-, thoroughly mixed with the soil, has, in my experience, always given good resuit.. With such soil the plants will need no feeding, except a light sprinkling of wood ashes, till January. In the field lift the plants carefully with a spade. If possible, leave a lump of earth on each plant. This will be a material aid to the plant in recovering from the shock received in lifting. Shade the houses only in extremely hot sunshine. Plant firmly, the same depth as in the field, with the roots well down in the soil. Water thoroughly the first time, spraying frequently for two or three days, but less as the plants recover. ' Treatment in the House. All draughts of air on the newly-set plants are a positive injury. After they have taken hold of the soil, good ventila- tion and bright sunshine are an actual necessity for a sturdy growth. Water freely now, when needed. Keep ven- tilators open day and night. Destroy weeds by light cultivation. When the out- side temperature drops to 45 or 40 de- grees, artificial heat may be used. After this heat is once used, be sure to main- tain your usual night temperature when it is cold enough to do so. From this time on, all water should be applied under, not over the plants, except in syringing for red spider. Stem-rot and its twin brother, bench- rot, will be more or less busy. Remove and burn all infected plants at once, as all the lime or other so-called remedies applied externally will not cure a disease that is in the blood of the plant. Spot, fairy ring, and softening of the leaves of the plant, caused by damp, putrid at- mosphere, can be checked by a light fumi- gation of sulphur at night and good ven- tilation in the daytime. For bacteria, so-called, pull out and burn infected plants. Such treatment, as before men- tioned, I have given plants in my care for many years, with good results and no serious failures. Some Brief Rules. Let me now repeat a few things I consider an actual necessity for suc- cessful cultivation of the carnation. First, use ripe cuttings, from healthy plants only. Discard all rooted cuttings that have any signs of disease. All soils used, whether in pot, flat, bench or field, should be fresh; that is, carnations should not have been grown in it for two or three years previous; neither should it be newly plowed sod. Use shallow cul- tivation in house or field. Take no plants to the house that show a weak or sickly condition. Keset in the house as fast as lifting in the field proceeds. Plant firmly always. A good, friable, well pul- verized soil, well enriched, is always right. Cultivate thoroughly always. Plant early in the field for best results. Eetain varieties that do best on your soil. Keep an even temperature in your house at night. Keep up VFith the times in trying out the newer varieties, and success should, and I hope will, crown all in the cultivation of this most popular flower. THRIPS AND THJE MITE. We are sending you some carnation buds and blooms affected by thrips. Of this we are positive, but we fear that they are also affected by the insect some- times referred to as the carnation mite. This we believe from the fact that we have found the small, white eggs in many of the buds that have rotted. We are now using hydrocyanic acid gas to kill the thrips, according to the directions prescribed by the late William Scott, and wc find this to kill many of them, but our great trouble here in the south is to keep them out of the house, since they come in from the outside so freely. We have had little cold weather so far, and only last week we found several in a rose- bud that was growing in the field. This bud was practically killed by the frost, yet the thrips seemed to be very much alive. If this gas does not kill the in- sect that lays the eggs in the buds, what would you recommend other than to pick off the buds as soon as they become af- fected? For the benefit of some growers who might fear to use the hydrocyanic acid gas, we will tell how it affected some plants other than the carnations. In the same house were some palms, ferns, cy- clamens, araucarias and Asparagus plu- mosus and Sprengeri. None seemed to suffer but the plumosus, and since we began to spray them with water before the fumigation none seem to be affected by the gas. We will thank any of the growers to help us in finding the cause of the rot- ting of the carnation buds and prescrib- ing a remedy to eradicate them from the greenhouses. We find that they are worse in the Enchantress, White En- chantress and Mrs. Patten than on any other varieties we grow. H. & B. Inasmuch as you are positive that your trouble is caused by thrips and the carnation mite, I will discuss them only. I do not consider hydrocyanic acid gas as being nearly so good to fight thrips as nicotine, in whatever form you may be able to reach them best. Your proposition seems a rather difficult one, on account of the pests coming in from outside. The only difference I could recommend, however, would be simply to keep after them as long as the weather conditions are such as to allow them to breed outside. Whatever will destroy them inside, should also stop' them from coming in. It seems that if, after having destroyed those inside, you would thor- oughly spray the plants with a nicotine solution twice or three times weekly, it should be quite uninviting to those which are outside. I would advise spraying thoroughly those on the side benches es- pecially. ' The same remedy should prove effective against the mite, but bum every rotted bud you come across. Then you will be sure of that many destroyed. A. F. J. B. ASPECT FOR HOUSE. At what angle should we run a house for best results for carnations, the house to be even -span t I refer to the different angles as to the sun. Please advise me in your columns which one is best, as I want to build for the best results. 0. Ja B. It is generally considered that the east and west house is the best for growing cut flowers, such as roses, carnations, etc. This is proven by the fact that fully ninety-eight per cent of all the houses built for that purpose run that way. There is considerable difference in opinion as to preference between even- span, short-span-to-the-north or short- span-to-the-south, and also between ridge-and-furrow or detached houses. Each has its adherents and its prefer- ences, but on the direction lengthveise, opinion seems to be practically unanimous in favor of east and west. The other angles are entirely out of the question, in my opinion. If I could not run my houses east and west I would run them straight north and south, even- span, and using as large glass and as little wood as possible. In such a house good stock can be grown, as I have seen on one or two occasions. In this case I would also build my house quite vpide, up to fifty-six feet, making the roof as flat as practical and with wide alleys be- tween the houses if more than one is built. I would build this way only in case it were impractical to run them east and west, however. A. F. J. B. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

To have lived four-score years, a half century of which has been devoted to a single business, is an achievement vrhich it is given to few men to accomplish. John W. Adams is active and alert, men- tally and physically, and might easily pass for a man twenty years younger. For fifty years he has conducted the busi- ness of a nurseryman, getting his. start when a boy by reading some works on horticulture. With the aid of his father he developed a small nursery in his New Hampshire home and the experience thus obtained proved most valuable in the years that followed, when he engaged in the business for himself. Now he has thirteen acres under cultivation at Springfield, Mass., with large greenhouses in connection. John William Adams was bom in Stratham, N. H., June 20, 1828, being the youngest of the six children of John F. and Mary Lane Adams. Mr. Adams ' father was for seventy years a Methodist preacher. He lived to be 91 years old and his later years were spent in fruit growing. The boy John waxed enthusiastic over the nursery business when he was still at home with his parents. A small nursery was planted on the home farm and his father added several acres to what the boy developed. To dispose of the trees when grown, Mr. Adams bought thirty acres of land in Portland. There were no sizable nurseries in Maine and the prices paid for trees were quite gen- erous. Several acres were planted in nursery rows to young trees and were well cultivated and made good growth. But the succeeding spring the larger pro- portion of them were thrown out by frost. Upon consultation it was deemed advisable to abandon the clay loam field and to begin again on sandy soil, nine acres of which were bought nearer the city. The climate proved to be ill-adapted to the nursery business, and in 1866 Mr. Adams bought a section of Marshall P. Wilder 's nursery in Boston and made ar- rangements to move there. His plans were suddenly changed, however, by the offer of a tempting salary as superin- tendent of the Crown copper mine at Lenoxville, P. Q. Mr. Adams made a success of the mine. July 5, 1867, he moved to Springfield and first occupied -a house on Water street. He afterward bought seven acres on North Main street and these same acres are still in his possession and under cultivation, together with some six more which he leases. Mr. Adams has been successful in other Lines, as well as in the business which has constituted his life-work. At the age of 21 he was chosen superintendent of schools in his native town. Several years later he was elected a member of the school committee in what is now part of the city of Portland, Me., and held the office for five years. He began teach- ing at the age of 19 in Amesbury, re- ceiving $20 a month the first winter and $25 the second. He also gave private lessons in penmanship. Later he taught in Watertown and Greenland, N. H. Mr. Adams was a member of the Massachusetts house of representatives in the years 1892 and 1893. Otherwise, he says, he has "kept clear of political affairs. ' ' Mr. Adams married Miss Sarah Frances Waterhouse at Portland, Me., September 5, 1865, and they had six children, four sons and two daughters. J. V. Adams. Two of the sons died early in life. Walter Adams and Charles Adams, the latter a member of the (iommon council from ward 1, are associated with their father in the nursery and florists ' business. The oldest daughter is the wife of Edgar J. Oatman. The two daughters, Mrs. Oat- man and Miss Nellie Adams, are also members of the firm of J. W. Adams & Co., and all the children, excepting Mrs. Oatman, take an active interest in the operations of the business. Mr. Adams is a member of Greenleaf chapter of Masons of Portland, Me., of the Society of Cincinnati, Trinity Metho- dist church, the Hampden Harvest Club, and of several local and national horti- cultural societies. NEVYORK. The Market. The week opened with glorious Christ- mas weather. There was not much stock arriving at the first of the week, but all of it that was good sold at about holi- day prices. Some pickling was in evi- dence, as usual; it is second nature with some men. Roses made encouraging progress last week and start the present week with a good demand and gradually rising prices. Some of the veterans, whose predictions may reasonably be accepted, say Maid and Bride will probably range, for the best, between 20 cents and 25 cents be- fore the Christmas demand is satisfied; that Killamey, Eichmond and the new ones may go to 40 cents, and Beauties should hold up to $1. These figures are for the top grade and selected stock. They prophesy, too, 10 cents for the carnation novelties and $1 per hundred for violets, with a possibility of $1.25 for the highest grade. Orchids are abundant and prices rea- sonable. James McManus says the out- of-town demand is excellent. The best gardenias have risen to unusually high rates. The few chrysanthemums that are left can demand any price they ask and get it. Lilies held at top quota- tions early this week. The few White Killarney sent to the Cut Flower Co., by the F. R. Pierson Co., sold at 50 cents at the beginning of the week. The plantsmen were hustling, as the week opened, vnth cheerful faces. Noth- ing left, seems to be the general re- port. Enormous quantities of flowering plants of medium sizes and of every popular variety fill the retail stores. I have never seen such general and thor- ough preparation for the Christmas de- mand. Business conditions are far bet- ter than a year ago. Public confidence is growing and the Christmas spirit of liberality and good fellowship finds no more delightful expression than in the sending of the natural and manufac- tured concoctions of the florists' trade. Fancy boxes, baskets, hampers and jardinieres are much in evidence. Rib- bon embellishments were never so va- ried and profuse. Tarrytown and Scarboro. Up at Tarrytown, the headquarters oT the F. R. Pierson Co., there is a fern factory, the like of which probably can be found nowhere else in the world. Starting with old Boston, here are Scot- tii, Piersoni, Elegantissima, Superbissima and several new discoveries of 1908 that have not yet been named or classified. There is a big stock of specimen plants, for which Mr. Pierson says the retaU r^M^f.". 16 The Weekly FIcdsts' Review. Decsmbbb 24, 1908. demand grows constantly. Many of the plants are in 10-inch and 12-inch pans. A big business in these was done for Christmas. Many thousands of* the small- er sizes are grown for the wholesale trade. Great improvements are contem- plated here during the coming year. Up at Scarboro, where are the four enormous carniation houses, 56x350 feet, each covering nearly half an acre of ground, preparations have already been made for the construction of two more of equal dimensions, one of which will be commenced immediately, the ground being already graded and cement benches prepared. In the carnation houses there was a big cut of fine stock for Christ- mas. One of the big houses is devoted entirely to the Killarney rose, half of it in White Killarney. Strange as it may seem, the blooms of this white sport are twice the size of the pink Killarney. Mr. Pierson says the Killarney now is the best pink rose on the market, and he be- lieves it will supersede all other pink roses. Twelve large houses here are devoted entirely to American Beauties, in fine crop for Christmas, making Joe Millang especially merry. The big carnation houses contain each from 18,000 to 20,000 plants, Winsor, of course, predominating. Half of one house is given up to the new varieties, which number thirty, including Governor Hughes and a fancy averaging four inches, and, in Mr. Pierson 's opinion, head and shoulders above the rest in stem and color. This one will be named The Pierson and will be on the market in 1910. He also thinks well of his dark and light Winsors, which, like Win- sor itself, are remarkably prolific. Other varieties grown here are White Perfec- tion, White Enchantress, Beacon, Victory, Winona, Afterglow, President Seelye, Melody and Variegated Lawson. The daily cut now averages 3,000, nearly 100,- 000 monthly. Prices have averaged sat- isfactorily of late. The whole plant is a model. No one can afford to visit New York and not give a day to Scar- boro. Various Notes. William Wallace Burnham, who has been identified with New York floricul- ture for twenty-one years and during the last thirteen years manager of the plant and cut flower departments of Blooming- dale Bros., has just received an appoint- ment as general superintendent of the store of Abraham & Straus, Brooklyn, one of the largest department stores in the world. Mr. Burnham is receiving the congratulations of his many friends with his usual modesty. The wholesale plantsmen on West Thir- tieth street report a tremendous busi- ness for Christmas, and have sold out several times since December 1. The biggest Christmas ever, is Sam Wood- row's estimate. Already a meeting of the executive boards of both Wholesalers' and Retail- ers' associations has been held, and harmonious plans formulated, looking to mutual benefit. It is reported that Joseph Fleischman will open another retail store at the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. This is the hotbed of the uptown, retail section. Next door is the beautiful store of Thomas Young, Jr. Across the way is the firm of Wadley & Smythe, and a block or two away, on the avenue, are the handsome stores of Charles Thorley and Alex. McConnell. An edict by the insurance companies, making collection of money because of fires caused by Christmas trees impos- sible, does not seem to have decreased the sale of these forest beauties, and, in fact, so great has been the demand that Saturday the price for those re- maining unsold was advanced to double the first quotations. Years ago $50 per hundred bundles was the figure. This year $75 was the asking price, and De- cember 21 $150 was obtained. Gottlieb Myer, of Madison avenue, had his trees purchased and marked for him when cut, and Hanft Bros, took the precaution to select their stock as it was unloaded. Both these firms have big branch stores for their overflow. M. A. Bowe has opened a branch on West Thirty-fourth street, close to his headquarters, where Arthur Merritt is in charge. The stock of blooming plants was enormous. Harry Gessner had many effective bas- ket combinations in the Imperial, and a window of orchids and roses that displayed his artistic skill to advantage. John King Duer reports many debu- tante decorations of late, and an old- fashioned reception, where the bouquets, The Lord & Burnham MedaL made up in the style of our grand- mothers, made a pronounced hit with the society folks. George C. Simms, formerly with Charles Thorley, is the artist here. At Hart's and Hession's, on Madison avenue, and Christatos & Koster's, near Sixty-third street, the same elaborate plant decorations as noted elsewhere pre- vail. Joseph Leikens is back from Newport after a satisfactory season. His new store, at 718 Fifth avenue, is a beauty, and is near Stumpp's and Thorley 's Plaza Hotel place, where the millionaires congregate. The favorite plants this year seem to be the orchids, oranges, azaleas, poin- settias and Lorraine begonias. Azaleas are as well developed as at Easter. Heather, too, is popular, and the bril- liantly colored dracsenas and crotons are used with the new ferns in basket work. Ardisias and cyclamens, too, are abun- dant. The Cut Flower Exchange has changed its hour of opening again, to 6 a. m. Hard to change the habits of generations. The New York Florists' Club will meet for its initial performance of 1909, January 10, at the Grand Opera House building. The Cleary Horticultural Co., on Vesey street, did a large retail business in Christmas holly, evergreens and mistletoe. The store will be maintained as a down- town retail center this winter, with Am- brose Cleary as superintendent. It is possible a cut flower department may be added to the business. J. Austin Shaw, S. Osgood Pell & Co,, real estate brokers, have leased for James J, Coogan the second loft in Nos, 55, 57 and 59 West TWenty-sixth street to the New York Cut Flower Association; the third loft to the New York Flower Market Co,, and the first floor store to Moltz & Kessler, wholesale florists. Adolph E. Asmus, of West Hoboken, has filed suit for divorce against his wife. There has been one hearing al- ready, at which Mrs, Asmus applied for alimony pending the outcome of her hus- band's suit for divorce. Vice Chancellor Garrison ordered that the husband pay her $35 a week. She asserts that his in- come from the business is $4,000 a month, and that he has a large interest in an estate worth $400,000. The fam- ily is prominent socially, as well as in the trade, and the Jersey newspapers make much capital of their troubles. MEDALS BETTER THAN CASH. Nine times out of ten a flower show exhibitor would rather have a medal than the cash and those who offer' premiums for advertising purposes have found that medals or cups, which can be properly inscribed, serve a real advertis- ing purpose, while a contribution of cash is little more than of financial assistajice to the management. The trophies give at the same time at least equal help financially, for a cup will do for a prize in a class where the cash that bought it might be inadequate. In 1907 the Lord & Burnham Co. of- fered a gold medal, shown in the ac- companying illustration, to the Lenox Horticultural Society. It has an in- trinsic value of about $30 and was so well liked that it was offered to a num- ber of societies this year, and was award- ed as follows: By the Tarrytown Horticultural Society to Wm. Inglis, gardener to J, J, Biker, Portclie:^- ter, N. Y., for tbirty-six roses In three varie- ties; to Thomas A. See, gardener to Mrs. M. E. Sand. Ardsley, N. Y., for four varieties of mumi), three of each. By the Lenox Horticultural Society to Thomas Proctor, superintendent for K. W. Patterson, for twenty-four mums. By the National Flower Show to H. Skjold- ager, gardener to E. G. Ulhlein, Chicago, for best collection of orchids grown by a private gardener. SYRACUSE, N. Y. The will of the late Louis E, Mar- quisee was admitted to probate December 5, but the value of the estate could not be given, as Mr. Marquisee was a bene- ficiary under the wills of his three half brothers, whose estates are not yet set- tled. Owing to continued ill health, Mrs. Marquisee feels compelled to give up the idea of continuing the business, and has disposed of the ground on which the greenhouses stand. They will remain till July 1, which will give ample time to dis- seminate the new carnation. Marchioness, and dispose of the bedding stock. H. Y. Deceubeb 24, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 17 Group of Employees at Greenhouses of Gude Bros., Anacostia^ D. C. DAYTON, OHIO. State of Trade. Last week there was a marked im- provement in business, which is steadily increasing with the approach of Christ- mas. Plenty of funeral work and a few decorations may have been the direct cause of the improvement. The florists all report Christmas orders coming in well and, as for the supply of stock, carnations could not be better in size and color, and the cuts are most encouraging. Eoses, as far as the crop is concerned, are just the reverse; the dull weather has aflPected them considerably, and the supply is much too small for the demand. Beauties also are scarce and the price asked for them is high, but the custom- ers seem glad to get them at that. Nar- cissi, Roman hyacinths and valley are plentiful, and there is good sale for them. Giganteum and callas are also sell- ing well. Poinsettias and azaleas, with other Christmas plants, are all hold- ing their own, as usual. Various Notes. The new office and packing-room of the Miami Floral Co. was completed in time for the rush of shipment of Christmas orders. The cellar under this room is twelve feet deep and sixty feet long. They are cutting a fine crop of carna- tions. A new steel tank, with capacity of 16,000 gallons, has just been completed, with a tower thirty-five feet high. The tank was made and erected by the Graver Tank Co., Hammond, Ind. Our florists have all taken a special pride in the appearance of their retail establishments this season and in most cases Christmas decorations are elaborate. H. H. Ritter, in the Algonquin hotel, has his store decorated with an abundance of holly, roping and Christmas bells, while red incandescent lights here and there add to the beauty of the display. W. G. Matthews' store, in the Phillips House, is profusely decorated with poin- settias and Christmas greens. He also has a large display of fancy hampers. C. M. Schaefer's stand in the Arcade is artistically decorated to carry out the wreath effect. The Dayton Floral Co. reports last veek 's business good. A wedding decora- tion at the Standard Club is said to have been one of the largest in Dayton for some time. Besides cut flowers and palms, twenty-five cases of southern smi- lax were used. The Advance Floral Co. has realized a good business on specimen cyclamen in the last two weeks. Everything promised a big Christmas trade, said the Heiss Co. Mrs. E. Young is among those who , report a good business last week. The Dayton Florists' Club at its De- cember meeting made arrangements for a New Year's banquet, to be given to its members January 11, at the Phillips House. Mrs. William Ritter has returned from her trip to Chicago, and reports a pleas- ant visit. C. M. Jack, of Mechanicsburg, O., was a visitor last week, and George L. Hus- croft, with William Hagemann, New York, made his annual rounds among the Dayton florists. R. A. B. OBITUARY. A. M. Yoik. A. M. York, of Hancock, Mich., died in that city December 16. Mr. York was born in Staffordshire, England, February 10, 1853. He came to America when he was about 21 years old and made his home at Pittsburg for a time. Later he moved to Ohio and studied at Oberlin college. From there he moved to Detroit and he afterward took a veterinary surgeon's course at Me- Gill University, Montreal. After gradu- ating he practiced his profession at Mar- quette for a number of years. Failing health caused him to embark in business as a florist. He settled in Hancock twelve years ago and built up an exten- sive business, with large, modern green- houses at Ripley and stores in Hancock and Calumet. While erecting a new boil- er house last winter he overexerted him- self and weakened his constitution to such an extent that it was impossible for him to withstand the ravages of the ill- ness with which he was taken about a week before his death. Besides his wife, Mr. York is survived by four children, Alfred W., of Hough- ton; Mrs. M. Nordquist, of Calumet; Bertram and Grace, at home. He also leaves a brother, Richard M. York, of Ripley, and two sisters, Miss Eliza York, who made her home with her brother at Ripley, and Miss Mary Ann York, who resides in England. Mr. York was a member of the Knights Templar, Mystic Shrine, Royal Arch Masons, David Ken- dall Council, Eastern Star, Quincy Lodge F. & A. M., Hancock Lodge Knights of Pythias, Portage Camp Modern Wood- men of America, Hancock Lodge of Elks, National Union and Mistletoe Lodge, Sons of St. George. Harry C. Smitli. Harry C. Smith died of heart failure, at his home in Medford, Mass., December 5, after an illness of two months. He was 55 years old. He was born in Eng- land and served for fifteen years in the Royal Artillery, being stationed most of the time at Halifax, N. S. He removed from Boston to Medford three years ago and had previously lived in Bar Harbor, Newport, and other places. Up to the time of his illness he was employed as florist and gardener for Erving P. Morse, of Forest street, Medford. He leaves a widow. A. J. Taylor, Archibald J. Taylor, aged 45 years, of Burlington, Vt., was killed soon after midnight December 5, by the overturning of a speeding automobile, and his two companions, Albert T. Henderson, age 25, owner of the machine, and Robert J. Ross, age 60, both of Burlington, were critically injured. ROOTING GERANIUM CUTTINGS. Ernest L. Johnson, florist at the State Hospital at Palmer, Mass^, has been ex- perimenting in the rooting of geranium cuttings in each of the various ways de- scribed in the recent discussion in the Review. He reports that those put in the sand in the shade rooted about ninety' per cent, while those put in soil were practically a total failure. Buffalo, N. Y.— W. F, Kasting had fireproof Christmas greens for those who wanted them and made quite a hit. He did a big business in Christmas special- ties of all kinds. 16 The Weekly Florists' Review* I)i;ci:.\nii;K li4, I'JdS. diiiiii till yinws (diislaiit I y.

MEDALS BETTER THAN CASH. -Nine times nut of ten a flower show e.\hibitor would rather have ji medal than the cash and those who ofTer jiremiums for advertising purposes have found that medals or cups, which can be projierly iiiscrib(d. serve a real tidvcrtis ing purpose, while a contribution of cash is little more than of financial assistance to Ihe nuinayement. The trophies give at the same time at least equal lielp financially, for a cup will do for a prize in a class wheie the cash that bought it might be inaile(|u;ite. In ]!ti)7 the Lord & P.urnham Co. of- fered a g(dd medal, shown in the ac- companying illustration, to the Lenox Horticultural Society.

The business in Christmas greens has been immense this year, undoubtedly eclipsing all previous records. Tbouble with the workmen making window glass seems more certain than at any time since the demand for higher wages was made. It will mean the in- creased cost of greenhouse sizes. "Please answer this as soon as possi- ble," writes a man who was in so great a hurry that he used a piece of plain block paper and "forgot" to date his letter or sign his name. There is no good reason for failure to sign full name and address to any legitimate inquiry. The Connecticut Fire Insurance Co., Hartford, has decided to write hail in- surance— not on greenhouses, but on growing crops. Thus far none of the big companies has undertaken to compete with the economically managed mutual Florists' Hail Association. Collections within the trade are re- ported as considerably easier than they were a month ago, but there is a gen- eral disposition to insist on the more prompt meeting of obligations than has been the case in the past. Those dealing with the public should also make January 1 the occasion of turning over a new leaf in this respect. Before John Cook, of Baltimore, put the My Maryland rose on the market he offered the entire stock to Qude Bros. Co., Washington, to Peter Beinberg, Chi- cago, and possibly to others, who felt that the dissemination of a new rose is so much a matter of hazard that they did not care to make the investment; so Mr. Cook distributed it himself, though his stock was small at the time. No one feels regret at missing a good thing, for it is everywhere recognized that "hind- sight is better than foresight. ' ' With most successful new roses the demand the second season is far greater than it was the first one. NEXT NATIONAL FLOVER SHOW. The cup offered by Ellwanger & Barry, Bochester, New York, not having been won at the late national flower show, has been turned over to the undersigned, by the donors, to be offered as a first prize at the next national flower show. There has been much talk of the next national show, but so far as the writer knows this is the first really tangible offering which has been made. Should any other firms or individuals see fit to make any offers in connection with the next proposed show, the writer will be very glad to accept them tem- porarily and turn them over to whatever organization may be made for the pur- pose of conducting another show.

This waste con- sists of about three-quarters leached lime, and the remainder is leached hen manure and cow manure that washes off th» hides; also grease, hide-scrapings, hair, blood, etc. Would this be valuable as a fertilizer and at what rate should it be applied? J. B. This mixture of waste would be of little practical value for crops under glass, but might be available for outside crops. To make it perfectly safe as a fertilizer, it ought to be mixed with at least ten times its bulk of good soil, then thoroughly incorporated and allowed to lie over until spring, turning it over frequently in the meantime. Apply at the rate of about three tons to the acre. Bibes. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There was no special feature in the market last week, except possibly a little fiurry in Easter lilies. Demand was no more than normal and the holding back for holiday supply did not produce any- thing that could be called a shortage. There were larger si^>plie8 than is ordi- narily the case in the week preceding Christmas. The current week opened with light supplies. There always are lighter re- ceipts on Monday than any other day in the week, and this time the Sunday cut evidently was held in reserve for Tues- day's special demand. There was some Christmas shipping as early as Monday, but it was hard to work the city buyers up to the Christmas price level. Where stock was tight enough to hold until Christmas, the week opened with stiff prices, but a large part of the early re- ceipts were of stock too open to be sala- ble except for immediate use and on this grade the Christmas prices could not be realized. The result was that the aver- age prices at the beginning of the week were considerably under the Christmas list. A few Trumpet narcissi arrived. Tuesday^s Market. Tuesday saw the beginning of the real Christmas shipping. It is the general opinion that a greater number of orders were on file than at any previous Christ- mas, and that the orders averaged larger. There was almost an entire absence of city demand December 22, so the day was Decbmbesr 24, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review.

There al- ways is a certain proportion of the stock which is not good enough for shipping and which is set aside, with the result it cuts down the average materially if the city buyers are not in urgent need of stock. This was apparent Tuesday. An immense amount of shipping was done, but out of each consignment something was set aside as not up to shipping grade, with no one to buy this culled out stock. Tuesday there was enough stock in practically all lines except medium Beau- ties and first-class Maids. The call for Christmas shipping is always for noth- ing but the best. Open Beauties will not ship, nor will soft, off-colored Maids. There were quantities of Maids which no wholesaler dared put on his shipping or- ders, even though he had to send the orders out short. Even the best roses were hardly up to grade and the weak and short stuff proved a problem for which the wholesalers had found no so- lution Tuesday night; this grade of stock was still on hand. There never are enough Richmond for the Christmas demand, and red carna- tions always are scarce, but the supply of red carnations this year was greater than usual and more nearly sufficed to meet the demand. Of other carnations there were enough for Tuesday. Poinset- tias sold slowly and there was little spe- cial demand for other flowers. Taking it altogether, the orders for Tuesday's shipments went out in good shape, with no oversupply in the market, save low grade stock and white carna- tions. These latter hang fire even ii of good quality. Wednesday's Market. Wednesday was an even heavier ship- ping day than Tuesday and receipts of flowers were larger. It never is possi- ble to make the stock just match up with the orders when there is such an enor- mous volume of business — but it came as near doing it December 23 as it ever does on that date. Generally speaking, there was plenty of stock. Orders for good roses could not be filled, though the supply more nearly went around than it had been figured it would a few days before. Long Beauties were to be had • Headquarters In tbe Great Central Market for all Idnda of Florists' Supplies Specially large and fine stock of Natural Preserved Wreaths, Moss Wreaths and Metal Designs Qualities always the best and prices the lowest.

Carnations were equal to require- ments, with the usual surplus of white and some low grade of stock for which there was no use. The absence of city buyers caused the low grade stock in all lines to accumulate badly. Few ship- ping orders called for poinsettias. There were plenty of violets for the out- side demand. Supplies in general proved so abundant that there was little special call for lilies, Romans, Paper Whites, valley, stevia and such items. Consid- erable extra call developed for boxwood, but not much for other greens. The day before a holiday is the one that really tells the story. The Christ- mas shipping business has certainly been as great as it ever was, with all strictly first-class stock bringing good prices. There was iittle indication Wednesday night of any material break in prices Thursday, when the city buyers are looked for to come into the market for large quantities of stock. Several large local orders for long Beauties are re- ported to have been placed at $125 per hundred, for delivery Thursday. Various Notes. Mrs. C. W. McKellar, the champion lady bowler of the S. A. F., has been im- proving her scores in recent matches. One evening last week she rolled 213, 215 and 197. That is a record for three games that entitles her to challenge the wearer of the men 's championship medal. Vaughan & Sperry say that the ad- vance orders for Christmas violets in- sured them the largest Christmas busi- ness in the history of the firm. John Evert is still cutting chrysan- themums in considerable quantity. They have sold well this week. A crate of green went through one of the show windows of the Chicago Rose Co. one day this week.

Co. has received some, excellent blooms of Chadwick chrysanthe- mum this week, but reports the buyers would not take them except at a conces- sion from the prices the same grade has brought at this date in previous years. The E. F. Winterson Co. decorated the store front with green wreathing and holly, making it one of the most attrac- tive in the downtown district. They have done an enormous retail business in Christmas greens, in addition to the large wholesale business. Mrs. E. L. Eaton has recovered from her recent severe illness and was on deck for the Christmas rush at Eaton's Flower Shop. E. C. Amling said on Monday morning that the orders then on file indicated to him that the Christmas trade would break all records for this market. O. P.

Mention Tne Review when you wnie the store, as at least a part of it usually is, was all arranged in the showhouse, where more room was available. Sam Pearce says the Christmas busi- ness has been a record-breaker. Poinset- tias and azaleas have sold splendidly, in spite of the fact that the supply of poinsettias in pans is larger than ever before; every retail store was full of them. W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt's, slipped on the ice December 20 and sprained his right hand severely. Mike Rocklin was here from Sioux City to buy Christmas supplies. Miss Gunterberg, in the Flower Grow- ers' Market, has recently discovered an Evanstonian who grows valley, or been discovered by him. Whichever it is, she has the valley. John H. Miller, the Rosehill carnation grower, is suflFering with rheumatism in his right hand. Poehlmann Bros. Co. has a larger Christmas crop of carnations than in any previous year, but the roses are off-crop. Hattie Carlson's flower store at 92 Jackson boulevard was closed December 19 by order of the Municipal court. When the bailiff put up the notice Miss Carlson tore it down, with the result that the affair attracted the attention of the whole neighborhood and the daily papers. She was able to adjust her affairs so that she reopened the store December 22. Peter Reinberg paid John Schillo an election bet, December 21, entertaining a party of eight at dinner and the theater. Fleischman's Jackson boulevard store made a special feature of Rice's basket, the one in which the weave comes up the handles so that the azaleas, poinset- tias and ferns only protrude on two sides. Fleischman had some large arrangements in these. Bassett & Washburn's afternoon ship- ment December 22 was two hours late because of delays of the express com- pany, and they had their hands full when the stock finally arrived. A. L. Randall says December 23 his firm shipped more orders than in any previous day in its history. Peter Reinberg says Mrs. Field has long been recognized as a good summer rose, but that this week it has proved itself to be a Christmas rose as well. N. J, Wietor says he looks for good business right along now, for rose crops are off with a good many growers be- sides those for this market and that will turn all the buyers this way. O. J. Friedman took a somewhat un- usual way of attracting public attention to a novelty by publishing a large ad- vertisement in the Tribune December 19, as follows: "Legal notice to the florists of the United States. Having applied for letters patent covering the use of feathers as a background for flowers in corsages to prevent soiling of gowns, no- tice is given that infringement of same will be vigorously prosecuted." Of course had the notice been intended for the trade instead of the public it would have been published in the Review, Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell Bros. Co., spent a couple of days at Grand Rapids last week and sold three boilers and several generators. L. Baumann & Co. say that December is the biggest month, in point of sales, since they have been in business. They have been unusually busy for three months. Van M.

Many of the stores were hardly prepared for the rush which came, so unexpectedly after the shadow cast by the general slump in business. If predictions were true this year we have a rollicking Christmas. There was a shortening up in all ^kinds of good stock last week, although busi- ness was anything but brisk. There was a remarkable scarcity of funeral work for several days the latter part of the week of December 13, and as a result white flowers commenced to pile up. Qub Meeting. At the club meeting December 16 it was voted to move into larger quarters. It was found that a suitable room could be had in the Cowee building, where the first meetings of the club were held. There were twenty-two votes in favor of. moving and four against. Hereafter the meetings will be held Mondays, as the new room cannot be had on Wednesdays. The first meeting in the new place will be held Monday evening, January 4. Christmas business will be discussed. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, where the meetings have been held for the last three years without any expense, was given a hearty vote of thanks. A vote of thanks was also extended to Al- bert Sylvester, who took such good care of the club's furniture. January 7 will be ladies' night. A dancing party and entertainment will be given at Harmonic hall. The entertain- ment committee has been allowed a good- ly sum for refreshments, music, talent, and so on. All those desiring admission cards for their friends can obtain them at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange.

A number of pretty Christmas win- dows were seen about town this week. E. A. Fetters had an effective window, an assortment of Christmas arrangements set off with a background of imitation snow. Breitmeyer's Sons' many large windows contained the usual number of fine specimens. Sullivan set off his holi- day goods with a white screen covered loosely with smilax and interspersed with artificial poinsettias. Walter Taepke had as the center of attraction in his win- dows two tall lights with red shades. These caught the attention of the passers- by, who were then treated to a fine variety of baskets and flowers. The bare branches of trees covered with as- bestos, giving a pretty snow effect, were arranged on the sides of Schroeter 's win- dows. Numerous small red lights gave a Christmas tone. Brown's, Peterson's and several other stores all took advan- tage of the occasion and showed pretty wiiidows. The trials of Christmas business will still be ringing in the ears of Schroeter 's force when they commence on the elaborate decoration for the Stearns ball at Strassburg's hall Decem- ber 28. About fifty cases of holly and southern smilax will be used, also about as many Christmas trees, besides hun- dreds of yards of red ribbon. From the ceiling will hang immense clusters of hoUy. The dining-room will first be en- tirely covered with red before the smilax is applied. There was a noticeable falling off in the call for violets just before the holi- days. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Breitmeyer left suddenly for Philadelphia the first part of the week, owing to the serious illness of Mrs. Breitmeyer's mother, whose home is in the Quaker City.

A notable event in the annals of the Springfield Florists' Club occurred on Tuesday evening, December 15, when a congenial company of forty-eight people assembled in the office of the Good & Beese Co. An invitation to be present had been extended to the wives and daughters of the members, while Pearl Young represented the floral press, Stan- ley Pettigrew the amateurs and the Misses Fennimore, Howell, Jacobs and Sherwood the retail flower trade. The attraction of the evening was the address of E. G. Hill, of Bichmond, Ind., on the subject of "Observations in Eu- rope, ' ' in which he was assisted by Prof, B. B. Mclntire with the stereopticon. The views consisted chiefly of build- ings, bridges, towers, statues and similar beautiful objects of architecture in Paris and its world-famous rose gardens near- by. Mr. Hill stated that lecturing was a new role for him, but he succeeded in making his talk highly interesting, in- structive and amusing, as he portrayed the characteristic traits of the French people, among whom he has so frequently and closely mingled. He especially com- mended the prevailing habit of laeautifi- cation and the artistic touch wbich is given to everything, no unsightly object or unfinished spot being permitted to exist, and cost seemingly not being con- sidered. The rivalry on the continent between such cities as Berlin, Yienna, Florence, Paris and other places vpas spoken of, but Paris, "The City Beauti- ful," keeps in the lead. Springfield might well imbibe considerably more of this spirit when again she shall consider the subject of park extension. The views taken in the Eosarie de L 'Hay, the rose gardens owned and main- tained by Jules Gravereaux, proprietor of the Bon Marche and known as "the Marshall Field of Paris, ' ' illustrated the lavish outlay and intense interest of one rosarian whose motives are purely those of a flower lover and a philanthropist, the gardens being open to the public. These views would astound the average American millionaire, and the ttiirty-five acres of roses in the "Garden Baga- telle," a portion of an immense park, owned and maintained by' the municipal- ity at an enormous expense, would liter- ally take the breath of the petty * ' knocker ' ' and voter against play- grounds, parks, walks, drives and other things beautiful. Mr. HUl urged the members arid guests present to help by interrupting him at any point to ask questions, which privi- lege was freely taken advantage of by the florists, most of whom are old and familiar acquaintances of the speaker, and by this means much interest was added and valuable information obtained. For a good story illustrating the artful traits of the women of Paris, whom Mr. Hill pronounces beautiful, ask him to relate his experience in attempting to assist a friend by acting as interpreter while making a purchase of shirts and other linen articles. After the address had been concluded, all present were invited to the dining- rooms and served with ice cream and cake by the entertainment committee, consisting of C. W, Schmidt and E. J. Kriegbaum. Upon dispersing, comments were freely made as to the value of such gatherings in furthering the welfare and fraternal feeling of the local florists, Ge Dale. CALUMET, MICH. The capitalization of the Lakeside Floral Co., with headquarters here and greenhouses at Chassell and Bed Jacket, has been increased from $25,000 to $40,- 000. The increase is all in preferred stock, making the capitalization now $25,- 000 in common stock and $15,000 in pre- ferred. Of the $25,000 common stock all has been subscribed and actually paid in, while of the new issue of preferred there has been subscribed and paid in $12,000. The directors of the company, whose signatures appear on the amendatory articles, are: President, John G. Stone; secretary, Charles H. Moss; B. F. Chy- noweth and Claude V. Seeber. This in- creased capitalization. President Stone says, was necessary in order to take proper care of the firm 's rapidly develop- ing business. The florists' business in northern Michigan is increasing rapidly and every- one is expanding. The Weekly Florists' Review^ .^ December 24, 1008.

It is heard all along Market street, where the crowds throng about the fakers' stands, surging back and forth, remind- ing one of a great holiday gathering for a circus or for Founders ' week. The amount of greens that have been har- vested this week is enormous. Never be- fore in the history of the City of Broth- erly Love have such immense quantities of holly, mistletoe, and all the other varieties of greens, berried and unber- ried, been shipped into and out of the city, to say nothing of the quantity that has been consumed therein. But this is a digression, excusable only because of the extreme difficulty of writing in- telligibly about a battle on the eve thereof. Let us leave the battle until next week, and report briefly the doings in this market from December 16 to 22. The demand has been light and irregular; prices have slowly advanced, especially on fancy orchids, gardenias and roses. The quantity of poinsettia coming into the market is larger, despite the casual- ties, than was at first anticipated. It seems probable that the supply will equal the demand. Callas have developed a surprising scarcity, Pittsburg being ap- pealed to in vain. Easter lilies are fine and quite plentiful. Violets are excel- lent and in fair demand. The Hudson river continues to supply this market with large quantities of Marie Louise, while Hightstown-grown Lady Campbell and fancy singles are increasing in num- bers. There is a noticeable holding back of carnations from some of the growers, which is greatly to be deplored. "While the market for these flowers is not good enough to warrant high prices, except on a few reds and fancies, they are sure to cause dissatisfaction with them -when they come. Fortunately this evil is de- creasing. Sweet peas are more plentiful than ever before at Christmas, some of the stock coming in showing unusual quality. Most of the smaller flowers on the price list are. in excellent supply. Greens are abundant. The Plant Trade. Plants have never sold better before Christmas than this season. The retail stores have stocked heavily with nearly all choice varieties of plants, and a good demand has been noticed for the small sizes of choice foliage plants to be made up prettily in hampers and baskets. Cro- tons have figured especially in these combinations, and the variety named after the chief of the horticultural de- partment at Girard college, Edwin Lons- dale, has been favored for its beautiful red coloring. The supply houses have catered to this demand by producing many original designs in hampers and plant baskets, giving the retailers oppor- tunity to display artistic skill of a high order. Charles Thorley, the famous New York florist, when talking recently with a Philadelphian, said he believed there was a great future in the making up of plant combinations for holiday gifts. Nothing is considered too good for these arrangements, the best in plants, bas- kets and millinery being combined to produce a telling effect. Horticultural Society Election.

CoaL A member of the firm of Smith, Lin- «aweaver & Co., in discussing eoal condi- tions with a representative of the Re- view, said that while local conditions varied so that it was impossible to speak accurately without knowing all the de- tails, he believed that in a general way the hard grades of anthracite coal were the most economical for the florist. Given certain conditions, where a quick fire is demanded a soft grade of anthracite may be better. Given certain other con- ditions, such as too small a boiler capac- ity j^ limited grate surface and plenty of draught, bituminous coal is cheaper. The point was strongly brought out that ■where the coal man knows the conditions surrounding the florist he can save him many a dollar by suggesting the kind of fuel best suited to his needs.

Phil. BOSTON. The Market. The near approach of Christmas has galvanized a little life into cut flower conditions, but they are not nearly so satisfactory as could be wished. The quantity of material coming in still is too great for the market to consume, and prices are not what they ought to be. This is particularly true of carnations. It is unusual to see good flowers, even of whites, offered at $1 per hundred during Christmas week. Bed and pink shades are selling well, but prices will hardly equal those of a year ago, unless a quick change occurs. Boses are doing a little better. Bichmonds, of course, are especial favorites and best quality blooms almost equal Beauties in value. Killamey is of exceptional quality, quite a few being seen with stems three feet long. White roses, as usual, are rather slow sale. Violets are selling well and are not overabundant. Poinsettias are wre abundant than for some years. ftlMi vary from $2 to $6 per. dozen. A #Bw straggling, late mums are seen, but the present week will finish them. Bulbous stock is something of a glut, partioolazly in the case of Bomans and Paper Wlntes. Trumpet Majors are plentiful and a few Golden Spurs and La Eeine tulips are ar- riving. Lilies are in good supply and there is quite a little in the way of stevia, antirrhinum, mignonette, single white azalea and other flowers seen. Sweet peas are good and valley is in fair demand.

Alfalfa is a word of Arabic origin and means "the best fodder." These are reported to be considerable quantities of Gladiolus Colvillei still in the hands of the Holland growers. Faequhae & Co., Boston, have leased the building at 8 and 9 South Market street, adjoining their present quarters, and will double their space. On the whole, peas are not becoming any cheaper, although concessions are to be had on a few of the sorts in less active demand. The canners' kinds are still going up. The "Wholesale Seedsmen 's League has designated Henry W. Wood, Eichmond, Va., S. F. Willard, Wetherafield, Conn., and Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, as a committee to observe and report on any proposed legislation in congress on the subject of pure seeds. The Holland bulb salesmen, who have been arriving in the country earlier and earlier each season, are now quite nu- merous in the west, but are reported as not being welcomed with open arms by the smaller buyers, who would rather de- lay placing orders till March or April. The big seed houses are expected to buy more liberally than last year, as a result of the unexpectedly good demand for out- door planting. TARIFF CHANGES. m^ Seed Trade's Schedule.

Rcfolutions on Tariff. F. W. Bolgiano filed the schedule with thp Ways and Means Committee at Wash- ington December 3. It was accompanied by the following resolution: At a meeting of the committee on tariff and customs of the American Seed Trade Association, an organization which consists of the leading seed growers of the tTaited States, as well as seed deal; ers, the foHowing preamble and resolu- tions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, The members of this associa- tion are satisfied that the present duties^ on seeds and bulbs afford an adequate measure of protection to the American farmer and deprecate any radical change in the existing rate of duty on seeds and bulbs, and Whereas, Owing to the methods of production abroad there is great difficul- ty, if not impossibility, in fixing equitably market values in the country of produc- tion because there are no open markets or exchanges where they are dealt in from day to day as is the case with many staple products, and Whereas, These conditions, which are inseparable from the industry, have in the past led to great difficulty on the part of the appraising officers of the customs, in some cases to great injustice to importers and to serious inequalities in the administration of the tariff, and Whereas, These undesirable results seem to be iD«~H,able when the duty on □■DHnHDflnaaaaBn ■dHQanBDHaiDHQHDaaBnHaBn ■□■nanaaMtmnHa I Forcing Gladiolus!

These resolutions were supported by the following telegram filed on behalf of the Wholesale Seedsmen 's League and signed, also, by a number of representa- tive houses: The Wholesale Seedsmen's League by its directors have unanimously adopted the following: Resolved, That we heartily approve and ^'ii»^wiii»iy;»fiy V^m'Vi .'m'JIiii u The Weekly Florists^ Review* * : dbcembeb 24. 1908. . endorse th,e American Seed Trade Asso- ciation's resolutions and schedule for specific duties on seeds and bulbs, dated December 2, and filed with yOur honor- able committee. The Schedule on Bulbs. T, J. Outerbridge, representing Henry & Lee, New York, appeared before the Committee on "Ways and Means and made the following statement: "I shall, as briefly as possible, draw your attention to section 251 of Schedule G, relative to tariff revision, as touch- ing all classes of bulbs and bulbous roots, which are cultivated for their flowers, whether imported from Japan, China, Bermuda, France, Holland or Germany, which are the principal markets of pro- duction, and from which sources of sup- ply are derived the majority of bulbs that new enter the United States for consumption and for the production of blooms or flowers for decorative purposes. "First. Lily bulbs and their product may be correctly termed as an article of luxury to a greater or lesser de- gree, and as such, in our opinion, should pay a duty of from twenty-fivo to thir- ty per cent ad valorem, which amount enters to such a small degree in the price of the flowers to the consumer as to be hardly noticeable. "Second. The business in lily bulbs is largely done by solicitation of orders from seedsmen and florists for a period of the first six months of the year, or from January to June, at which time ad- vance orders are booked and orders placed abroad for the supply, which is imported into the United States and entered for consumption from June to December. "Third. With a protective tariff of twenty-five to thirty per cent, it is our opinion that the interests of the people engaged in this trade are better protect- ed, inasmuch as such a duty will serve as a means of protecting the importers and the purchasers of the bulbs, and the florists who force the bulbs into bloom, from the likelihood of detrimental consignments of cheap and inferior bulbs being thrown on this market at or near the close of the season, and so interfere with the sale of the higher qualities brought into the country under advance import orders. ' ' We therefore respectfully request that the committee either retain the pres- ent tariff of twenty-five per cent ad valorem on all grades and varieties of lily bulbs, or if there is to be any change in the tariff that the rate be increased to thirty per cent ad valorem, as it is at present assessed on all agri- cultural and garden seeds." In reply to a question, Mr. Outer- bridge said he "had reference to the bulbs imported from the places named. The bulbs imported from Japan are longiflorum, auratum and speciosum; those imported from Bermuda are the Harrisii and longiflorum; those import- ed from Holland are lilies and different varieties of hyacinths, tulips and narcis- sus. From France there are imported Roman hyacinths and narcissus, from Germany lily of the valley and from China Chinese narcissus. We are asking for a continuation of the duty, and if you wish to raise it to thirty per cent, five per cent more." Nurserymen Propose Free Bulbs. William Pitkin, representing the Amer- ican Association of Nurserymen, appeared before the Ways and Means Commit- tee and, preliminary to asking a number of changes and increases in the rates on nursery stock, stated: "We ask that the following items be placed on the free list, for the reason that they are not propagated in this coun- try, and we must depend on foreign countries for our supply, viz.: Bhodo- dendrons, azaleas, tulips, crocus, hya- cinths, narcissi, jonquils, lilies, lily of the valley." THE SEED SITUATION. The general situation in the seed trade has not changed materially from the re- ports of a week ago, Christmas trade has kept many busy in lines somewhat removed from shortages and surpluses of seeds, and consequently little stir has taken place. It is likely that we will be well into the new year before the seed dispensers wUl get busy to cover where shortages exist, or to push out surpluses. Peas are probably the most annoying item to get a proper line on. Beans are not worrying anyone very much, judging from current reports. Many varieties of water melon are hard to locate, and what can be located is quite inferior as to germinating quality. Some of the musk melons are scarce and high. Beets of By the way, that advertisement of Bouquet Green in t\ltf% did the business all ri^ht. Through it we sold out every crate we had — and the fact is we thought we, with many others, would have it to bum. CURRIE BROS. CO. Milwaukee, Wit., Dec. 18, 1908. some sorts are short; in one or two in- stances very much so. Sweet corn is developing more plentiful than some of the growers originally reported it. The canners' sorts, such as Evergreen, Old Colony and Country Gentleman, are turning up at points where they were not looked for. Contract orders for 1909 crop are com- ing in freely at prices much higher than those prevailing at the same time last year. Onion seed has steadied and the prices reported at present values corre- spond to those named in the Eeview of some weeks back. The summer varieties of squash are reported scarce. Hubbard and Marrow will be easy; Warty Hub- bard not so plentiful, and a choice article of this sort scarce. The demand for the canners' varieties of tomato has increased to such an ex- tent that, although a fairly good supply is in sight, a shortage of some of the most popular varieties is quite likely to develop. The cucumber situation is such that extremely high values may be looked for long before the demand is over. The White Spine sorts are not so scarce as All Growers of Mushrooma ■hould buy their SPAWN direct from the Best Eng^lish Makers.

Goncnt Comment The cloudy weather last week had a telling effect on the Christmas cut of roses. T'he Beauty groovers in this sec- tion will have enough to go around. They are listed at $12 to $15 per dozen for the best, wholesale. Poinsettias were never better; large vases and baskets are to be seen in all the windows. There is an abundance of holly this year. It is fine and well berried. Farmers with wagon loads can be seen on the streets all day long and it sells for almost any price. Mistletoe is also plen- tiful and good. While there is plenty of the winter berries to be had, they have a tendency to drop more freely than other years. Christmas trees are only handled by a few of the florists to any great extent. W. W. Kimmel is probably the largest dealer in this line. He wholesales and retails. George C. Shaffer and Z. D. BIackist«ne handle quite a few. The trees this year are fine; they bring about the same price as last year. Azaleas are plentiful. The Gude Bros. Co. will have an unusually large number to wholesale this year. Last week was a busy one. The chief of the District of Columbia Fire Depart- ment died very suddenly, which called for a large number of pieces. There were four heaped wagon loads sent to the cemetery and every florist in town had some. There were wreaths, bunches, ladders, gates ajar and every other known funeral design. Two of the de- signs were particularly attractive. One of these was a fire alarm box on a post, with the number of his last alarm. The other was a horse and chief 's buggy. The horse was made of white carnations and the buggy of Enchantress carnations. The harness was of purple chenille. The base was of white mums, roses and orchids.

Plenty of air-slaked lime, scattered over it when piling it up by layers, will do much to keep them out of it. There are really few cases where crops are ruined by them, as they do not often appear all over a house or in such great quantities, often coming and going without any effect on the plants. I think the best way to handle them is to hunt out the spot whei'e they hatch, finding it by means of the strong, foul odor, and dope it with a liquid made by boiling tobacco stems — tobacco soup, my men call it. H. G. MOLES IN GREENHOUSES. Is there any method of exterminating ground moles in a greenhouse? Our main crop is lettuce, grown on the ground beds, and the moles have been doing tremendous damage there, having a tunnel under almost every plant. E. S. M. One or two moles will cause a great deal of annoyance in a greenhouse and make so many tunnels that it would ap- '^f'-tWi Dbcumbkb 24, 1008.

There is but one really good extermina- tor and that is a mole trap, which can be purchased of any seedsman or supply house, and also in some hardware stores. These traps are an iron stake arrange- ment, which is driven into the ground .close to one of the main runs. A lever projects over the run, and when the ftake leg of the trap is pressed into the ground far enough this paddle-shaped lever or trigger presses down on the soil "where it had been raised by the mole. When Mr. Mole comes along his tunnel, Jie has to raise the soil again in that par- ticular spot where the trigger of the trap is pressing down on it. In raising the soil again the soil pushes up on the trigger, sets the trap off, and six sharp steel prongs, driven by a powerful spring, shoot down into the ground, flpearing the mole every time. Moles seem to work most in the night, but are often running in the daytime be- tween 10 and 12 a. m. It is said that they will not work in a lawn where a few castor bean plants are growing. T do not know how true that is, but I never had one in my lawn and I always have two or three castor beans around, for the tropical effect which the large, shiny leaves lend to the floral arrange- ment.

The Market All of the last week the wholesalers had plenty of stock of almost every- thing in season, with the demand not so good as the week previous, and we had our usual dull spell just before the holidays. From the looks of the mar- ket Monday, December 21, there will be plenty of stock in all grades and at prices within reach of everybody. The demand for holly, greens and mistletoe is as good as any year. Those who han- dle plants say that Lorraine begonias, poinsettias and azaleas are much in favor this year. There is a great demand for California violets for Christmas. These will be up to $2 per hundred. Fancy grades in roses will bring from $12 to $15 per hundred, and American Beauties $12 per dozen for extra long fancy. Carnations will go as high as $6 to $8 per hundred and cut poinsettias up to $3 per dozen. Bulb stock will hard- ly advance in price, and we look for a big supply of Romans, Paper Whites and. lily of the valley. There is also a lot of extra good quality of sweet peas in white, pink and lavender. These, with stevia, callas and Harrisii, will make up the market for the Christmas holidays. The demand for adiantum, smilax and asparagus has been fairly good. Various Notes. Ostertag Bros, had the Christmas deco- ration at the gas office and furnished 10,000 bunches of holly, each with a rib- bon, to be given to customers who visit the office. J. W. Dunford has opened a branch store at Eighth and Olive streets, under the name of the Gallagher Flower Shop, and is making a nice show. Louis Gieger has left the employ of Grimm & Gorley, where he was employed as foreman at the greenhouses. He has taken a position with J. W. Dunford. C. Young & Sons Co. has one of the most attractively decorated Christmas store fronts in the city. The blooming plant display is good. The last week the weather was such that it scarcely seemed like Christmas. The only reminders were the holly, jjreens and Christmas decorations all over Established In 1587 FLORtST t657-l659 Buckingham Place L. D. Phone 558 Lake View CHICAGO Send UB your retail orders.

George Waldbart and Mrs. Ayers stocked up with extra fine blooming plants for Christmas trade, with a good many of them early marked "Sold." Out in the west end all the florists made special preparations for the rush this week. F. C. Weber, Ellison, Kalisch, r. H. Weber and J. F. Windt have extra fine displays. They all are looking for a busy week, and especially so with plants. The Florists' Bowling Club will not do any bowling until after the holidays. The last bowling Monday, December 14, was poorly attended. The first bowl- ing after New Year's, will be ladies' night, with special attractions. J. J. B. WAYSIDE NOTES. Wood Bros., of Fishkill, N. Y., report an unusually busy season and are booked up full for the holidays. They believe in advertising and attribute their success to this fact. Adam Laub & Son, of Wappingers Falls, N. Y., are steady advertisers and pride themselves, and that justly, on re- sults obtained. I found Mr. Laub, Sr., in a reminiscent mood and he reverted back beyond thirty-five years, when he first landed upon tMs pleasant spot, which was destined to produce specimens of the divine flower hardly credible. I noted a solid bed of Rose-pink Enchantress fairly crowded with blooms; which aver- aged three inches and over across and were of richest color and vigor. The trio of Pink, Bose-pink and White En- chantress luxuriate here. The boys say it is the soil, but there is something more than that. I do not recall seeing Victory in finer condition. It is not a heavy, but a continuous bloomer, and a good keeper. Lady Bountiful will be discarded here after this season. In chrysanthemums, Jerome Jones and Jeanne Nonin are con- sidered the two best successive whites. Chadwick is as popular as ever. A full bench of cuttings looks promising for early disposal. James Duncan, of New Hamburg, N. Y., is one of the few successful growert of Marie Louise violets outside the belt, having several houses devoted to their culture. He also grows mignonette sec- ond to none, and has a fine lot of Iselias and Oncidium tigrinum in bloom for Christmas. The Saltford Flower Shop, Poughkeep- sie, N. Y., thrives in a Vassar atmosphere, although Mr. Saltford, Jr., says it is vice versa. Certain it is that the boys make a fine showing and deserve all that is coming their way. The window is dressed in red and green. A new cabi- net has been installed, running the entire length of the store, and contains the latest creations in green of the potter's art. A conservatory in the rear is kept supplied with choice plants, and, as Mr. SaJtford, Sr., remarked, it keeps him scratching to grow the necessary stock. Newman Floral Co.

Williams, of Highland, N. Y., says his cut has brought him as good re- turns as heretofore, which means that his stock must be fully up to the usual high standard. States Sarles, of Marlboro, N. Y., was more than pleased when his Monrovia chrysanthemums brought $35 per hundred in New York, proving that the market for extra fine stock was not overdone. He has a heavy cut of carnations for the holidays. The Newburgh Floral Co., of New- burgh, N. Y., is shipping extra fine En- chantress and smilax. George Crawshaw, of Newburgh, says he cannot get enough stock, funeral work taking all he can grow. The Schaefer Co., of Newburgh. is making a pretty showing of holiday plants, well grown, and reports good ad- vance orders. The Yuess Gardens Cb., of Newburgh, makes a handsome window display of seasonable stock, chiefly begonias and poinsettias. They are carrying a big stock of well grown plants and are- pre- paring a large batch of rooted cuttings in carnations and geraniums for the trade. M. STEAMER SAILINGS.

L Trade Conditions. Evergreens were never more plentiful in this market than tins 'year, owing to the lack of snow and water in the swamps. The great supply has resulted in lower prices ruling than usual. In ad- dition to the evergreens, holly, laurel and box wreaths are seen in large numbers at reasonable prices. The buying of these decorations began fully a week early this year, and the demand has steadily increased every day. Potted plants are also in good demand. One feature that is new for this city, al- though heretofore used elsewhere, is the various sized balls of box with red im- mortelles. The first of these were intro- duced by John F. Wood and were quick- ly to be found in the stock of the other dealers. The big demand for bright red flowers of all kinds for the Christmas season began early, and the stock of crimson carnations has become so depleted that the price on these has nearly doubled and will make further advances during the next few days. The weather for the last fortnight has not been conducive to free blooming and there is a falling off itl all kinds of cut stock. This is es- pecially true regarding violets, which are scarce and high. Complaints are heard on all hands of the fact that there is not a single grower in the entire state who propagates potted plants for the Christmas holiday season. All the stock of this character used in this vicinity has to be brought in by express from Boston, and the condition in which the plants arrive is not al- ways the best. There are a few growers who grow potted stock for the spring, but this is mostly of the bedding va- rieties and does not include the fancy house plants. It is believed by many of the dealers that any grower within a few miles of this city who would start in for potted stock for the holidays would find it a remunerative business.

ThcMaikct After a week of frosty weather, tj^ere has been a decided change in the aspect of things in the floral line. Flowers have become much scarcer than they have been at any time this season and the prices have advanced quite a little. Car- nations, which ten days ago could be bought for $2 per hundred, have doubled in price and everything else has risen in proportion. In roses the change has been most marked and Beauties cannot be pur- chased from any local growers at less than $2.50 to $5 per dozen. Brides and Maids cost the stores 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen. Violets have not. yet been advanced in price, but if the present cold snap continues we may expect it at any time.

Narcissi of the white and yellow varieties are getting a little more plenti- ful and they are proving a good help in floral work. Valley is plentiful, but moves slowly. Poinsettias, both the cut variety from Los Angeles and the home grown pot stock, sell well. The smaller sizes have been arranged in pans and baskets and are proving up well. The prices charged by the growers are from $6 to $9 per dozen for single plants, in 6-inch pots. The cut flowers from the south sell at from $10 to $15 per hun- dred, with the express charges added. California red berries are being sold by the ton daily and the hucksters are finding them to be one of their most profitable sources of revenue. Outside of a brisk funeral trade, there is but little doing in the stores. Everyone is waiting for Christmas week to come and, from present indications, it will be a busy prop- osition.

The use of roses for the making of a permanent hedge is a proposition often overlooked in the planting of a garden, but it is one of the most beautiful and satisfactory ways to show many varieties to advantage. There are many sorts that do not stand trimming well and many that have poor blooming qualities and poorer foUage, but among the teas there are quite a few that answer all the requirements for a satisfactory hedge. The Agrippina, although not a tea rose, is more used for this purpose than any other sort. It is naturally of a rather dwarf growth and in the climate of San Francisco it flowers every day in the year. Continued pruning rather ac- centuates this condition than otherwise, and during the months of April, May and June a well cropped hedge will be so covered with blooms that the foliage and stems will be entirely covered. It can be kept at any desired height almost in- definitely, the writer having in mind a hedge over twenty years old that is only two feet high and the same in width. Among the less showy colors, the Duchess de Brabant is the best hedge rose in the pink sorts. It is almost as good a bloomer as the Agrippina and the blossoms are of rather more value. Mile. Cecil Bruner has few equals for this pur- pose and, while it does not make a showy hedge rose, it is a constant bloomer and the flowers are of considerable value. In the yellow sorts the old-fashioned Safrano is by far the most desirable. It is an endless bloomer and stands trim- ming well. The hybrid perpetual roses are not as good for hedges as are the others. They do not bloom as profusely, they do not care to be trimmed as often and the flowers want plenty of stem room. They are good, however, if there is no desire to limit the height of the hedge, but where a low, closely cropped effect is desired, the other varieties I have men- tioned will better answer the purpose. G. Randolph, Vt. — H. M. Totman has ob- tained a fine water supply for his green- houses by the purchase of the Frank Morse spring, which has already devel- oped a flow of eight gallons a minute. The spring is southwest of the village reservoir and seventy feet higher than the greenhouses, to which it will be piped overland this winter with 1,225 feet of pipe.

Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the largest, most progressive aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties for indoor cul- ture; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

A shelter of a frame with slat covering will be helpful then, too. As to how the stock plants should be handled: If, as I presume, they are growing outdoors, they should be allowed to remain so, with such protec- tion, if any, as conditions make neces- sary. By the way, although it may not be pertinent in answer to this query, a com- plete covering in of specimen evergreens with boards often does more harm than good, especially when such covering is removed absolutely and at once in the spring. It is better to cover the surface of the soil with manure or forest leaves and, if it is deemed necessary to protect LARGE TREES OAKS AND MAPLES. PINES AND HEMLOCKS ANDORRA NURSERIES, Wm.

ONCaNNATL The Market Last week brought no new develop- ments, so far as the cut flower market was concerned. There was just about enough demand to clean out the receipts, but there were plenty of cheap roses on the market and there was little improve- ment in the prices obtained even for the best. Carnations fared a trifle better and the average price shows an increase ; still, when compared with last year it is not especially encouraging. Violets con- tinue to hold their own and to bring a good price. As is usual in this mar- ket, the single ones take the lead. Poin- settias are on hand and they are fine. This flower always has its place in the holiday season and it is selling about the same as usual. With the possible ex- ception of calla and Harrisii lilies, there are not so many bulbous flowers for the holidays. George & Allan, who in the past have fol'ced such large quantities of this class of stock, have cut away down on the numbers they are forcing this year. They will have fine valley and narcissi and will get a good price for what they have. The market is full of holly, but the quality is below par. This is not the case with all of it, of course, but wlien buying you have to be onto your job if you don't want to get stung. Varioiit Notes. Prom all reports Park Superintendent J. W. Rodgers has received a pretty fine Christmas present in the way of a raise in his salary of $1,000 per year. It is presumed that with the greater activity in the way of park improvement in this city he will be kept still more closely to his work and the new park commission deemed it worth the extra money. George Durban has opened a store at Hamilton avenue and Knowlton street, Cumminsville, under the name of the North Side Floral Bazaar.

MAY DAY "We desire to call the attention of tbe trade to our seedling carnation. May Day. W6 have been Rrowln? this variety at our place for the past five seasons, and only witbin the last few days have we decided lo disseminate it. "It is a deep satin pink, indescribably bright, and holds its color admirably under all conditions. Stem is good, calyx all one could desire. Its freedom is unexcelled by any variety, it being no unusual thing to be able to count from 20 to 25 flowering shoots on one plant at a time. Its habit of growth is perfect. " "We have grown this variety in quantities for the past three years for its flowers and And tbe demand for it much greater among our customers than for the well known variety Enchantress. We attribute this to its charming and exquisite shade of color and to its remarkable keeping qualities." Prices, per 100, $12.00; per lOOO, $100.00; 2600, $06.00 per 1000; 6000, $90.00 per 1000. To be disseminated early in 1909. We endorse Mr. Grave's description; the variety has a splendid habit, a good stem, strong calyx, and we know of nothing freer, while in color it is unapproachable, that soft, brilliant lahade universally admired; besides this, it is one of the finest keepers we have ever handled. Orders booked now, and filled in rotation. Florists attending the Indianapolis meeting of the American Carnation Society are invited to stop at Richmond and see the varietr growing. THE E. G.

The Minnesota State Florists' Associa- tion met Tuesday evening, December 15, the meeting being called to order by President Wirth, in the new quarters on Snelling avenue, St. Paul. A large num- ber of the members were present, and a very interesting meeting was held. Holm & Olson, of St. Paul, exhibited some fine plants of cyclamens and Lor- raine begonias; also their new begonia, Gertrude, with foliage and flowers larger than those of Lorraine. These plants were among the finest ever seen in the Twin Cities, and they received the appro- bation of all the members. E. Nagel showed some nice plants of Primula ob- couica in 4i/^-inch pots, an excellent strain. J. Jorgenson exhibited some fine Enchantress and White Enchantress, with good stems and large flowers. His Bea- con. Bride and Bridesmaid roses were well worthy of mention. Carl Haugen showed some good violets, Marie Louise and Princess of Wales. A. J. Smith came in with some first-class poinsettias. J. Jorgenson read an interesting paper on his impjessions of the national flower show. J. Smith, head gardener to James Bland, Quarry Bank, Allerton, England, showed a photograph of a well grown plant of Lilium auratum, from a single bulb, bearing 225 flowers; height, nine feet; over six feet through, grown in 1865. He also read an interesting paper on the means he employed to grow the plant. The members tendered a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Smith, and hoped he would come again. President Wirth showed plans pre- pared by Lord & Burnham Co. for a new building at the State Fair grounds, and it is the intention of the association to try to use its influence to get the State Fair committee to accept them. Everyone expressed himself satisfied with the new hall, and more interest was shown than for some time before. Visitors last week were J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, O., and Charles Schwake, representing C. F. Meyer, New York city. M. E. M. Denver. Colo. — Van M. Zimmerman, recently with the Geo. Wittbold Co., of Chicago, is the new manager for the Scott Floral Co. A young man of pleas- ing personality and well versed in the business, he cannot fail to meet with success. WM. H.

LEXINGTON, KY. The Market. Last week was a busy one. There are about enough roses, carnations and other flowers to supply the demand. Holly, green and immortelle wreathing are hav- ing a good run. Some good Begonia Gloire de Lor- raine, poinsettias and cyclamens are seen in downtown stores this year. Sweet peas of good quality are coming in and bring good prices at present. Violets, lily of the valley, narcissi and other bulbous stock are in good supply and demand. Much stevia is used in funeral work and it is well liked here. Green goods are in good supply and demand. Various Notes. Shearer The Florist, at "Winchester, has opened a downtown store. He will build two houses, 32x200, for roses and carna- tions the coming summer. James P. Keller was in Cincinnati re- cently. An excellent lot of plants was seen in his downtown store. The writer took a stroll over to the State University last Sunday and found the greenhouses in good shape. The new house is one of the best to be seen in this section. John A. Keller's carnations are the best ever seen in this vicinity. Lucien Leclere 's primulas are fine. He says they are the best he ever had. Frank McMuUen has been very busy of late. Blue Grass. Greenwich, Conn. — Probably the largest decoration ever put up here was for the dinner and dance recently given by Mrs. James Everard. MacMillen & Co. had the order and Robert MacMillen reports using, among other things, 1,500 strings of smilax, 500 mums, 350 orchids, and 400 yards of ribbon.

What reason would you give for the rotting of Golden Spur and Trumpet Major (imported), which were set out in trays? These bulbs were planted in flats in the last part of August. The soil was old chrysanthemum soil that had been thrown out from the benches in November of last year, and left in a heap. It was not turned over for sterili- zation by the weather. The flats do not appear to have had enough drainage, but where the bulbs had been set near a crack in the bottom of the flat they had made fairly good root by forcing into the soil underneath. Otherwise they had failed to make roots, just simply rotted. A heavy watering was given these in planting, there being twelve inches of soil packed on top and waterings given from time to time. No fertilizer of any kind was used with this soil in planting the bulbs. The bulbs were well exam- ined before planting and appeared per- fectly sound. About twenty-five per cent of the Golden Spur rooted and five per cent of the Trumpet Majors. We cannot but think that the soil was sour, and probably the rotting was caused by the water being unable to drain out of the boxes. Bulbs from the same lot were planted outside in the ordinary way. They have splendid roots and are mak- ing good shoots. Please understand that those in the trays had not been taken inside. We noticed that this grower was grow- ing a large quantity of valley pips in the same kind of soil, and also some in moss taken straight from the swamp. These were also rotting badly. Tbey would start to grow and then the leaf would turn yellow and die down; also a fungus started on the stem. On examining some of the bulbs that had not been set out, they were perfectly sound, and the bloom inside, on cutting, opened quite bright and healthy. This grower, who is locally situated, asked us to put this question in the question box. We our- selves can only put it down to sourness of the soil, with probably more water than the trays could drain out. We also noticed that his Easter lilies were doing the same thing in the same soil. P. B. There are no doubt several conditions which have combined to cause the rot- ting of the Trumpet Major and Golden Spur narcissi. In the first place, it was poor policy to use old chrysanthemum soil. Bulbs need fresh, sweet soil just as much as any other plants. It is a popu- lar but erroneous idea that "any old " RE V ERO" THE INDESTRUCTIBLE HOSE MOULDED-SEAMLESS CONSTRUCTION NEW YORK MINNEAPOLIS Tie above lUufltrates the Non- Kinking Feature of Revero as Com- pared with the Old Style Wrapped Duck Construction.

To grovf good narcissi and tulips you need a care- fully prepared compost just as much as you do for roses or carnations. We would also judge that the drainage has been faulty; a crack in the bottom of the trays is not suflScient. A layer of broken crocks or shells should have been placed over each of the cracks and this covered with coarse moss before any com- post was placed in the trays. The fact that a foot of soil was place'd over the trays and frequent waterings given through it would be bound to cause rot in bulbs planted in old soil, poorly drained. A much better place for the trays would be on a cellar floor, where they could be covered with coal ashes. In such a place they can be watered more intelligently and much more easily moved when wanted for forc- ing. The fact that lily of the valley and lilies are also doing poorly in the same soil would go to show that it is unsuit- able. Probably if it had been turned once or twice it would have been suffi- ciently sweetened to produce a moderate quality of bulbs. C. W. { 68 The Weekly Florists' Review* Deceubeb 24, 1008.

I intend to erect four houses in the spring. Will you kindly post me on the following questions: I. Size of houses is 22x50, connected, for growing carnations, mums, vege- tables, bulbs, etc. Which aspect would give me most sun and light in winter months, location in Ontario? II. The temperature here has been known to reach 35 degrees below zero. I wish to use wood by day and coal by night; no night fireman. What make and size of boiler would be most suited to my purpose? III. What size of hot water pipes do you recommend? What number of flows and returns, and position of same? What depth of boiler pit should be pro- vided? W. P. I. I prefer house with the ridge run- ning north and south witlk a head house over the north end. Such houses get more sun during the period when sun is lowest and reflect most when sun is most nearly vertical. II. I do not think you can use the system you contemplate of alternate flring with wood and coal without a night fireman, and then with doubtful results. You will require a boiler with very capacious fire box, one long enough to take 4-foot or even 8-foot wood. III. I would suggest locating the heating plant in the middle of the head house so as to carry a 4-inch header or riser in each direction from the boiler to the center line of the two middle houses and continue to the center of the side houses by 3-inch pipe. Carry a 3-inch riser under the ridge of each house to the far end and return by fif- teen 2-inch returns in each of the out- side houses and fourteen 2-inch returns in each of the middle houses. The boiler plant should have a capacity for at least 2,500 square feet of radiation. I would further suggest that the boiler be pro- vided with two 4-inch openings and each line of 4-inch pipe be taken off inde- pendently. Put the expansion tank up high, twelve or fifteen feet above highest point in the piping system, and connect it directlv to the main return close to the boiler. L. C. C.

I have a greenhouse 20x70, with four rows of 2-inch pipe down each side and two rows of 4-inch pipe down the center. I heat with hot water. The boiler has six sections, with an expansion tank of thirty gallons. This system will not heat my house. Where is my trouble, and how can I fix it to heat to 70 degrees in zero weather? How far should a bench be from the side of the greenhouse, and how far from the pipes? Will the bench affect the heating of the house if it is over the pij)es? D. B.

Gentlemen: The Kroeschell Generator purchased from you some time since is giving excellent satisfac- tion. It not only adds to the capacity of the boiler on account of the increased velocity of the hot water circulation, and consequently less piping is required, but it also seemg to mslintain a steadier and more even temperature all over the houses where it is in use. For instance, the new house I have just completed, 43 ft. wide by 265 ft. long, and piped according to your instructions, is not varying more than two degrees all over the house at any time, and I consider that re- markable for so large a house. Another advantage is that where, roses are grown, sulphur applied to the pipes for checking mildew is much more effective. Yours truly, (Signed) Stephen Mortensen, Southampton, Pa. December 12, 1908. Bose Grower. Gentlemen: Keceived your inquiry of the 9th inst. in regard to the Kroeschell Generator purchased from you.

Can I connect my hot water heating plant with the city mains and do away with my expansion tankt The city water pressure is fifty-eight pounds to the square inch when the standpipe is full, but varies as the standpipe becomes par- tially empty. Would this variation make any difference t What pressure do I need on the plant! Can I regulate it by a reducing valve? My water pipe is %-inch. Should this be attached to the return near the boiler, the same as the expansion tankt Would the expansion of the water drive the surplus back into the main? Where should the reducing valve be placed? S. A. "D. You can use the city pressure in the way you indicate. It will be well to hold the pressure between twelve and twenty pounds, depending upon the pressure the boiler is guaranteed to carry. If you use a reducing valve, you should also equip the boiler with a safety valve, set at three or four pounds higher pressure than the reducing valve. The water connection should be made to the main return close to the boiler, the same as with the expansion tank. TJie reducing valve can be placed at the most convenient point in the water supply '&nyits ^r^^ Facts That Tell Capitol Boilera make an especial appeal to the florist on the proven facts of fuel economy— quick repairs— ease of operation. Bernard Katzwinkel, Prop. Restland Floral Co., Mendota, 111., testifies : — "The hot water Capitol Boiler I received of you last seaBon has given me complete satisfaction. I find it to be a fine, clean boiler to fire, no coal waste, and a first-claes heat producer. I fully recommend it." Beard Bros., Detroit, Mich., say: — "After one year's use we are very much pleased with the Capitol Boiler. One night last winter the temperature dropped to 16 degrees below zero, and the bouse was as warm as at freezing point. We used soft coal most of the time and it was as satisfactory as hard coal." Any of our Branches or Sales Agencies will give you hundreds of such testimonials, and when you examine the boiler itself you will quickly see its superior merit over all competing boilers. It is better to be safe than sorry. Put in a Capitol Boiler. WM Slates Beaterrompany. General Offices and Works : Fort Street and Campbell Ave.. DETROIT, IlicN.

The Standard Steam Trap is acknowledged the best for the florist, because it is durable and does its work without trouble and annoyance, saving its cost by the economy in coal bills. E. HIPPARD, Youngstown, Ohio I am planning to build a water system consisting of a round cement tank, forty feet in diameter, the sides to be ten feet high, the bottom being cone-shaped, mak- ing the center . at the bottom five feet lower than the sides. The tank to be situated on an elevation twelve feet higher than the benches in the green- houses and 700 feet from same. The reservoir* to be tapped from the bottom of the cone. How many pounds pressure will a 2-inch pipe running from the tank to. greenhouses give, and how many lines of %-inch hose can be used at one time from the main pipe? I have a pond twenty-five feet lower than the bottom of the proposed tank and situated about half way between the tank and green- houses. "Will a large windmill near the pond be sufficient power to pump water supply, with use of a check valve, direct into the 2-inch main connecting the reservoir and greenhouses? C. D. L.

The pressure at the nozzle is due to the difference in the height of the water level in the tank and the height of the opening from which the water is drawn. In your case, with the water seventeen feet above the level of the opening in the greenhouse, you should have about eight pounds less the friction in the pipes, which is greater the smaller the pipe used. In this case I would urge the use of a large main, say 4-inch, in case much water is" required. Also use large dis- tributing pipes.

The number of nozzles that can be used will be measured by the size of the pipes rather than the pressure; the force of the flow by the pressure. It will not be possible to do much syringing with the pressure from such a system. I believe you will find it more satisfactory and almost as economical to install a good gasoline engine and pump from the pond directly into the mains that supply the greenhouses, using a pneumatic reserve tank or erecting a small lank on a steel tower to be kept full to meet emergencies of a breakdown in the pumping plant. In this way you can get thirty to sixty or seventy pounds pressure, which is often required for effective syringing. L. C. C. NEV ORLEANS. The most interesting part of the last meeting of the New Orleans Horticultural Society wes the distribution of the prize money among the exhibitors at the fall flower show. Although the show was far from being a success in a financial way, yet, thanks to the generosity of many donors of prize money, enough funds were on hand to pay a nice pro rata of the prizes and every exhibitor was, after all, well satisfied and repaid for his trouble. The society still stands solid, with a good sum on band and ready to try again under better circumstances at some early date. Business in plants is dull.

The Market Trade has been fairly good, though some of the smaller places report dull business last week. Everyone is now busy, however, in preparation for a big holiday trade. Weather conditions now are ideal. A bountiful fall of snow a few days ago gave us our first sleigh- ing, which is likely to continue for some time. All lines of business have im- proved since the snow fell and this can only reflect favorably on the florists' trade. Greens are plentiful and of good qual- ity, though some early gathered green and light-weight holly cases are found on the market. But as holly has all reached this market without freezing, it is bound to be better than the average. All the growers have a good crop of flowers. Ked will be somewhat scarce. From our hurried observations about town, there will not be enough good poinsettias to meet the demand. Various Notes. Holm & Olson have an elegant stock of poinsettias in pans, as well as cycla- mens, azaleas and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. No finer stock of the last mentioned plant was ever seen in the Twin Cities. Callers during the week were: J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati ; C. Schwake, with C. F. Meyer, New York, and Mr, Golden- burg, representing Ralph M. Ward & Co., of New York. X. Y. Z. Rochester, N. H. — The firm of Folsom & Nielson has been dissolved. Mr. Niel- son has gone to Woodfords, Me. ISHPEMiNG, Mich. — William Trebil- cock, manager of the Ishpeming Green- houses, is desirous of purchasing the lot adjoining his plant on the west, to be used for an addition to be constructed during the coming year.

There was more life in the business last week than any time this season, with just about enough stock to supply the demand at the prices, which have been advanced to something nearly right. The wholesale houses have been cleaning up every day — something they have not done for a long time. There are quantities of good lilies and Beauties to be had at any time. Other roses and carnations seemed to be the stock that was short. The retailers were all busy making up stock, such as galax, immortelles and box- wood wreaths. There does not seem to be any end to the job. One thing that the regular florists seem to leave to the grocer and market men is the trade in wreathing and holly. While they handle enough to take care of their customers, it is only in the fancy stock and they do not push that much, for there is not enough profit in this to justify handling it. The produce commission men are handling these goods and selling them so cheaply (much of the stuff, however, is of very poor quality) that the grocers on every corner have a crate or two and peddle it out at almost any price. Christmas trees are handled much the same way. At the beginning of this week Christ- mas indications were good. The fact that Thanksgiving was so much better than anyone hoped for, coupled with the con- tinued improvement every day since, as- sured a good Christmas trade in cut flow- ers. As far as plants are concerned, the show of really fine azaleas, begonias, primulas, cyclamens, pans of tulips and ferns and pans of poinsettias could not help selling themselves. Each year the florist is arranging his baskets, pots and pans more artistically than the year be- fore, and the result is that people cannot resist buying, as in most cases the prices are reasonable. The trade in this city, from what I can gather, have come to the conclusion that larger sales and smaller profits mean really larger profits in the end, as the vol- ume of business is so much greater. The weather last week was anything but what a grower would ask for. Its effect on carnations seems to be to put them to sleep and roses are softer than they should be, which will probably pre- vent them from pickling stock and that will be a good thing. The green goods men are selling lots of stock, but much of it is selling at prices which will not enable them to get rich this season, Hoo-Hoo.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* i#H^<^<»^.'»^.'»^.<<^-<*^.'^^-'i*^-'»^-'i«^-'»^.<<^.'*^'»^-'*^-'^^<<^ $ A SPLENDID CHRISTMAS TRADE |-fer»>-fer»>-fer»>: PLANT SALES SHOW ANOTHER INCREASE, BUT ALL CUT FLOWERS CLEAN UP AT GOOD PRICES. HHEISTMAS trade the country over was all that anyone expected, and more; it was ahead of last year, and ahead of 1906. In some of the larger wholesale markets prices have been higher, but at retail Santa Claus never paid more for his flowers. Supplies were large, but practically everything salable found a purchaser. Here and there, there was an echo of last year's panic in increased demand for inexpensive stock, but an equal number report that cus- tomers bought more freely of the better articles. Plant trade showed some increase everywhere, larger supplies of blooming stock having been provided, especially in the larger cities, but cut flowers cleaned up better than they usually have at Christmas. It is proven that enough buyers prefer cut flowers to plants to insure the sale of all good cut stock offered at reasonable prices. The smallei cities do not yet take to the plant arrangements so popular in the big centers. In\many reports that speak of all cut stock going out, some plants are said to have been feft, usually poinsettias or Lorraine begonias. Fine weather waa gen- eral, and was an important factor, affecting supply, demand and delivery. Christmas greens were in large supply, of good quality, and florists sold great quantities of them in spite of competition by grocers and peddlers. Beports from the big cities alone are not always a reliable index; in the last year the florists of the towns have prospered better than those of the cities. But for Christmas about all teU the same story. Eeports from many sources follow; the city trade is reported under the usual headings. Alabama. Birmingham. — Christmas was as good as 1907 and better than 1906. More stock might have been sold, especially blooming plants. Baskets and other ac- cessories were used more freely than ever, and "William M. Lindsay says they added to the profit on the plants. The finest plants cleaned up first. Mobile. — "With the Minge Floral Co. Christmas was about as Usual, but the call was for more expensive articles than other years, in . spite of the fact that money is still scarce and charge sales more numerous than cash. Beauties and poinsettias sold best. All cut flowers went clean, but some plants were left. There was little demand for plant bas- kets or decorated plants. Montgomery. — "W. B. Patterson says Christmas was forty per cent l)etter than in 1907, seventy-five per cent better than 1906. Little of anything was left. Plants were in most demand, especially azaleas, poinsettias and Lorraine be- gonias, which sold quickest when decor- ated or made up in baskets and hampers. Sales averaged higher than last year. The effects of last year's panic were still felt in that a comparatively small sum spent for plants made a good show and the florist thrived at the expense of other lines. Arkansas. Pine Bluff. — A. A. Harper says his Christmas trade was about twenty per cent ahead of last year. No pickled stock in evidence. Quite a call for plants and a good sale for narcissi and Romans. Prospects good for 1909. Pine Bluft.— Mts. C. A. Starr reports Christmas about as other years. A few more cut flowers could have been sold and a few more of the cheaper plants. The call was largely for the cheaper stock. Little Bock. — J. W. Vestal & Son say that business was better than in 1906 or 1907. Everything salable was sold out clean except palms and potted Bomans. The best sellers were azaleas and fancy fern dishes. Prices were higher than in previous years. Christmas sales started later than usual. There was little de- mand for baskets, ribbons, pot covers, etc., though the call in general was for more expensive items than usual. Gilifomia. Santa Cruz. — W. E. King says the Christmas call was for less expensive articles, but a greater number of sales were made and Christmas totaled better than last year, and a whole lot better than 1906. Everything was sold, except green goods for decorations, which were an oversupply. More cut flowers of all kinds could have been used, but there was not much call for plants. Carnations were the most popular item. G>nnecticut« Greenwich. — High prices of cut stock drove buyers to plants — but cut stock had the call. Azaleas, heather and prim- roses were left. An interesting feature was the sale for imported holly trees when in good condition. McMUlen & Co. say the flower buying public has not yet fully recovered from last year's troubles. New Britain.— Carl Lorensen believes the weather never was beiter for Christ- mas. Trade started early and prices were good. Practically everything sold out clean. The total was a little ahead of 1906 and about the same as 1907. "Wateebury.— E. S. Bavier, manager for Olson & Lunden, says Christmas busi- ness was far ahead of what had been expected, considering the hard times in this vicinity. There was a special de- mand for carnations, and these were sold out clean. Poinsettias and baskets of plants also sold rapidly. Saxe & Floto did a specially large business in bloom- ing plants. Olson & Lunden had some large Christmas decorations to handle during the rush. Delaware. "Wilmington.— H. P. Potter says Christmas was about the same as in 1906 but forty per cent ahead of 1907. All good stock was sold, but there were cyclamens, Lorraine begonias and the lower grades of cut flowers left. He does not use pot covers or other embel- lishments. Poinsettias in pans sold best. Florida. Jacksonville.— Christmas trade was much ahead of last year and more stock could have been used in almost all lines. Azaleas, begonias, cyclamens and valley in pots sold best. It paid to decorate the pots or make up basket arrangements. The best grade of goods was wanted. James H. Payne, of the Jacksonville Floral Co., noted a special demand for terns and fern dishes. Georgia. Savannah.— According to John "Wolf, Uiristmas business was twenty-five per cent better than in 1907 and at least as good as m 1906. Some stock was left, but more red roses and more poinsettias in pans could have been sold. "White azaleas did not move. Prices were about as in former years, but carnations were much higher; Plants could not be sold without some sort of pot cover. The medium-priced stock sold best. People used more greens, such as holly, than in other years. Illinois. .J^^'^'^^rT^''.^- ~ T^^^^^^ Pepperdine thinks Thanksgiving trade was not as good as It should have been, but Christ- mas was all right, especially the call for potted plants. Cut flower trade also was good. ^ JoLiET.— Albert C. Bott says his Christ- mas 8al«»s were half again as large as ^8t year and everything sold out clean. Baskets sold slowly. Plants at $2 to $3 sold best. He trims every plant with- sale ^ <^^^rg^, thinking it helps the Belleville.— E. W. -Guy says Christ- mas was twenty per cent better than last ^on^ *^"*y P®'' ^®°* ^e"er than in 1906. Poinsettias and white carnations were the only things left. He noted no extra call for plants and does not use many m arrangements. EocKFORD.— J. J. Soper says the in- teresting feature was the call for plants in bloom. The business totaled greater than m either 1907 or 1906. The call was for more expensive articles than usual. Baskets, ribbons and pot covers The Weekly Florists^ Review. Dbcbmbib 31, 1008. added greatly to the ealability of stock. Nothing •was left. More cut flowers and more plants could have been disposed of. Aurora. — The Aurora Greenhouse Co. reports trade in excess of 1907 or 1906. Everything sold out clean, without satis- fying the demand. The use of ribbons, baskets and pot covers did not give them a direct profit. They reported people would not take high priced cut flowers so long as they could get potted plants. AuEOEA. — "With Joseph M. Smely the Christmas business was much better than 1907 and slightly better than 1906. Flowering plants sold best. Valley, Eomans, Paper Whites and the lower grades of roses and carnations were left. Fine weather started the trade early. He says there was no direct profit in the accessories used with the plants, but that customers insist on having them. The notable feature was the number of people who ordered plants over the phone and knew just what they wanted. Peoria. — The business was ahead of last year, or the year before. Everything in red and pink sold clean. Red roses, red carnations and azaleas and cyclamens in colors sold best, and more could have been used. "White roses and Romans plants than ever before and advertised them in the local papers. They do little in the way of fixing up plants, outside of trimming the pots with crepe paper; the demand is for plants at $2 or $3 each. There was a greatly increased call for plants, but still some were left. More cut flowers could have been used. Indiana. Richmond. — J. M. Gift says Christmas was forty per cent better than last year and roses and carnations were short. G. R. Gause puts his increase at fifty per cent. The demand for blooming plants and ferns far exceeded any year and green moss wreaths sold in large quan- tities. Marion. — Nearly double, is the way the Marion Floral Co. says Christmas compares with 19.07. They cleaned out of plants and could have sold more cut flowers. Trade started late, but every- thing went. The use of pot covers, bas- kets, ribbons, etc., gave them a satis- factory profit, besides adding to the sala- bility of stock. KoKOMO. — W. W. Coles says Christmas was all he could ask, twenty per cent better than 1907, and about the same Eugene Dailledouze. were left. C. Loveridge says the special call was for Richmond, of which he had a fine crop. He reports that pot covers, baskets, ribbons, etc., did not add enough to the value of the article to give him , a profit on their use. Bloomington. — A. "Washburn & Sons credit the weather with a twenty-five per cent increase in their Christmas business. They grew a larger number of blooming as 1906. Prices were ten per cent bet- ter than last year. Trade started early. Carnations sold best. Some poinsettias and Lorraine begonias were left. The use of requisites in plant decoration showed a profit, but Mr. Coles says not as much as in larger cities. A special feature was the call for Beauties. Goshen. — Dora Brown reports Christ- mas business in cut flowers as about the same as last year, in plants some better. She cannot get high prices, saying her customers cannot realize why prices ad- vance so at the holidays and that they simply will not pay the Christmas rates for stock they have been buying for so much less the week before. Everything cheap and effective in plants was quickly picked up, pans or Paper Whites and small azaleas taking the lead. Lafayette. — The Christmas business was about ten per cent ahead of 1907 and twenty per cent over 1906. F. Dor- ner & Sons Co. says all cut flowers sold, except Eomans and stevia; they could have used more carnations and also more roses, and prices were higher on these than last year. Some pot plants were left and the demand (Ud not warrant making up expensive arrangements in baskets, etc. The bright weather hard- ened up the cut stock, gave it a good finish and made it a pleasure to handle. If the off year had any effect, it was a help to the florists, as orders were given for boxes of cut flowers in place of more costly gifts. Iowa. OsKALOOSA.— The Kemble Floral Co. says Christmas was about the same as in 1907 and ten to fifteen per cent better than in 1906. Practically everything sold out clean at about the usual Christmas prices. Maeshalltown. — With William H. Ford business was better than in 1907 or 1906. Nearly everything sold and more cut flowers could have been used. There was no special demand for plants. Davenport.— H. M. Bills says Christ- mas was nearly double last year and half again as great as in 1906. Anything that was left was of little value. More plants were sold than ever before and it paid to decorate them. Beauties were in special demand, but short, and many took plants. Burlington. — Joseph Bock found Christmas business better than ever be- fore. Everything salable was cleaned up and more cut flowers and more plants could have been used. The best call was for blooming plants and the demand was good enough to take them at fair prices, without pot covers or ribbons. Fort Madison.— J. M. Auge had a bet- ter Christmas than ever before. He sold out clean on cut flowers, but not on plants, having Lorraines, cyclamens and primroses left. Azaleas were among the best sellers. Few embellishments were used. More red roses and carnations would have been welcome. Dubuque.— The Christmas of 1907 was the best until 1908. W. A. Harkett says more cut flowers could have been sold, especially roses and carnations, preferably red, but there were plants to spare, al- though they sold fairly well. Prices ruled moderate. Bright ribbons helped the sales of plants, and more fancy bas- kets and birch bark ware were used than ever before. The tendency is toward greater number of sales at moderate prices. Kansas. Concordia. — Christmas trade was good, C. J. Lempe reporting that he sold more flowers than at any previous Christmas. He could have used much more stock. Fort Scott. — John Heck says the de- mand for plants for Christmas gifts has not been developed here, most flowers ' ■■■.',■' ■ -1^1 . ■ '■■.-»'.i; J ;,;,;'-'•■ v. .,, !^ r, ' «, Decbmbeb 31, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ being used for funeral purposes. Christ- mas sales average of small value, but the business was somewhat ahead of last year. Leavenworth. — J. E. Meinhart found his only trouble in supplying the de- mand. Sales were double those of 1907 and three times as great as 1906. He could have used more stock of every kind. The call was for medium-priced articles. He uses few plant embellishments. Lawrence. — C. M. & S. E. Luther found business about the same as in pre- vious years. Everything salable was sold out clean, both in plants and cut flowers, but the demand was strongest for cut flowers. Prices were fair. Christmas business began early and the weather was pleasant. Topeka. — James Hayes says that Christmas business was about the same as usual and does not vary much from year to year. His best selling stock was red carnations and Lorraine .begonias. Prices were good and sales began several aays earlier than in previous years. The weather was so mild and pleasant that plants could be delivered without wrap- ing. Eibbon was used to advantage. Wichita. — W. H. Gulp & Co. enjoyed a Christmas business that was much bet- ter than in 1907 or 1906. Their stock of cut flowers was insufficient for the demand, and there was not much left except a few ferns and palms and other odds and ends. In cut flowers their best sellers were choice roses and carnations; in plants, azaleas, Lorraine begonias and poinsettias took the lead. Prices were about as usual. Trade started about De- cember 21, except a few earlier orders for decorative material. The weather was fine. Pot covers, baskets, ribbons, etc., were profitable accessories and were called for if not in evidence. Plant sales included more high-priced items than in other years. * Kentucky. HOPKINSVILLE. — T. L. Metcalf reports a good Christmas. The principal call was for carnations, and he could have used more, also more plants in bloom. There was little call for the accessories to go with these. Ashland. — Christmas business was fully up to last year, according to William H. Carp. Carnations had first place, and all wanted red. All cut flow- ers, even narcissi and roses, sold well. There was a fair call for azaleas and ferns. Mt. Sterling. — Emil Fredrich says the call was for the better grade of pot plants, and a special feature was the sale of low table plants. More stock of all good kinds could have been used. Pot covers, baskets, etc., are little used in this section. Paducah. — Christmas trade was better than in 1907 and fully as good as 1906. Practically everything sold out clean. C. L. Brunson & Co. say they could have sold several hundred more pans of poin- settias, Paper Whites and Romans. They had ready sales for pansies and violets in pans. They always use pot covers and other embellishments and find a good profit in them. This year the call was for slightly less expensive articles than in the past. Winchester. — Christmas trade was more than double that of 1907, according to J. W. Shearer. He had enough cut flowers, but not enough plants. Poin- settias sold best; a few Lorraines were William J. Vesey. left. Mats and plaited paper paid, but no profit was to be had through the use of the common crepe paper. The call was for better things than ever before. ,A million dollars tobacco money has re- cently been turned loose in this county, and the florists are getting their share. BowuNo Green. — Poinsettias in pots and pans cleaned up, but those which had been cut were left. All pot plants sold well, with the Burdell Floral Co., but there were enough to go around. All cut flowers sold cleanly, and more roses and carnations could have been used. The use of pot covers, ribbons, baskets, etc., adds too much to the cost of the cheaper plants, but is profitable on higher grade stock and helps in its sale. This year the call was for the less expensive items and the highest priced plants were left. Maine* Portland. — L. C. Goddard sold out clean on cut flowers, but some plants were left, including azaleas and, of course, ferns. Carnations of colors were in best demand. Prices were up to other years, except on bulb stock, but the total was not quite up to the last two holidays. The call was for the less expensive things. Lewiston. — Ernest Saunder says trade was quiet in the fall, and collections slow, but he could not see that last year 's panic made any difference in the Christ- mas business. It was slightly larger than in 1907 or in 1906. He ,had stock enough, but sold nearly everything ready, in both plants and cut flowers. The trade was later in starting, but prices about the same as in other years. MaiVlaod. Cumberland. — There was an abun- dance of stock for , Christmas and busi- ness was better than ever before. Prices were good, but not quite as high as last year. Ferns, primroses, azaleas, short poinsettias and fern dishes sold best. Little embellishment was permitted, be- cause nearly everyone wanted things as reasonable in price as possible. Less expensive cut flowers were called for, but larger plants were salable. John A. Bopp says a notable feature was the demand for small paper bells and alpha bells. Massachusetts. New Bedford. — All the stores were filled with flowering plants a week ago, but now are empty. There was a big in- crease in the plant business, but all cut flowers also sold well, although at no specially high prices. William Livesey re- ports good business in all Christmas greens, and profitable prices. Newton. — John Irving thinks trade was fully as good as in 1906 or 1907. He did not have enough cut flowers to meet the demand, and he had no plants left except a few Lorraine begonias. His Christmas sales began rather late. The weather was pleasant and favorable. The grade of stock called for was about the same as in other years. The best selling stock was carnations. Michigan. Kalamazoo.— G. Van Bochove & Bro. say the Christmas business was enormous, away ahead of any previous vear, double that of 1907. Everything sold out and more of everything could have been sold. • ■■■-, »>r 'x ? r-.i.. .^ ff y" .1 ywr^ . : "^ "' ^■yvT~/i*-^-^ The Weekly Florists' Review* Decembeb 31, 1008. Individual purchases averaged larger than in previous years. Sault Ste. Marie, — "^illiam F. Weber found all cut flowers sold and Christmas totaling a little better than in either '«of the last two years. The only unsold stock was of plants. Carnations were in best demand. He says he can get no direct profit on the use of baskets, pot covers and ribbons, but that they help in making sales. Minnesota. Albert Lea. — The Lake Shore Green- houses figure Christmas as ten per cent better than 1907 and twenty per cent better than 1906. Everything sold ex- cept a little bulb stock. Roses, carna- tions and violets were most in demand. OwATONNA. — The Clinton Falls Nurs- ery Co. says the Christmas trade showed no effect of last year's panic, but spoke eloquently of the first-class wheat crop; it was forty per cent ahead of 1907, The only salable stock left was white roses. Prices were strong, Mistissippi. Jackson, — W. J. Brown reports Christ- mas as the best he ever has had. Cut flowers were sold out clean, and he had only a few salable plants left. Christ- mas sales started early and prices were £ood. The weather was fine and had a tendency to help trade. The best selling «tock was cut flowers in bunches. There •was not much demand for baskets, but pot covers and ribbons sold fairly well. Missouri.. Neosho. — John M. Sherwood tells of a Christmas demand that was better than he had hoped— double the supply. He is new in the business and not yet fully «tocked up. Spkingfield, — W. H, Chalfant records Christmas as twenty per cent ahead of last year, in spite of the fact that he no longer pays special attention to the Christmas trade, aiming to take care of his regular customers and not caring much for the transients, who, he finds, usually want cheap articles. There was enough stock so that a little of every- thing was left. He makes no special effort in the use of accessories. Nebraska* Beatrice. — There is an increase in Christmas business each year. The Dole Floral Co. says fine weather made a full crop of carnations, nearly enough to go around. Azaleas sold well. Fbemont. — The Christmas trade was much better than in 1906 and nearly ■double that of last year. Cut fiowers sold out clean, but there was some plant stock left. The call was for carnations, {)oinsettia arrangements, roses and vio- ets, in the order named. Prices were twenty per cent higher than last Christ- mas. Crepe paper pot covers are as far as C. H. Green goes in embellishment of plants. Lincoln.— C. H. Frey says that his trade showed an increase of fifteen per cent over that of 1907 and an increase of about forty per cent over that of 1906. He did not have enough cut flow- era, but had a few plants left, chiefly poinsettias, Lorraine begonias and ferns. Kosea, carnations, violets and blooming plants sold best. Prices were about the same as in 1906 and 1907. Christmas sales began early and continued till noon on Christmas day. The weather was fine. The outside temperature was 50 degrees at 2 p. m. December 24, and 45 degrees December. 25. He does not have much call for baskets or hampers, and few of his customers will pay a higher price for a covered pot. The less ex- pensive stock was sold out first. An interesting feature was the number of small sales. New Hampsfaire. Concord. — G. J. Benedict reports Christmas sales equally great, if not better than last year. He had a fine cut of Enchantress that sold readily at $1.50 per dozen. Christmas greens went nicely and Christmas business seemed to have a push behind it that bespeaks a prosper- ous business in 1909. Nashua. — Christmas trade was far be- yond the expectations of W. W. Powers. It commenced early and kept on heavily until everything was sold out clean. There was a special call for blooming plants made up in the green pottery ware. Cut flowers wete in greater de- mand than last season, and Christmas greens of all kinds had a large call. New Jersey. Passaic. — John L, Lundsted says Christmas was about as in 1907, but not quite as good as 1906. He is a carnation grower, and sold out clean, with a de- mand for more stock. Trenton. — Martin C. Eibsam regrets that Christmas was not up to either of the last two years. More blooming plants could have been sold, but there were enough cut flowers. The call was for the less expensive things. New Mexico. Eaton. — Harry A, Smith says that trade was better this Christmas than ever before. The businesa steadily is develop- ing and the uses for flowers becoming more numerous; consequently a greater variety of stock can be sold, and at bet- ter prices. New York. Troy. — No salable stock was left, and Sambrook Bros, think more might have been sold, of both cut flowers and plants. Fine weather helped the violet business. Trade was late in starting, but made a good total. Elmira. — H. N. Hoffman notes that the interesting feature of the Christmas trade was the better sale for baskets filled with plants. He finds the trade appreciates the embellishments, like pot covers and ribbon. More cut flowers and more blooming plants could have been sold. The trade started late, but good weather brought in strangers and made a late rush. Saratoga Springs. — T. J. Totten thinks the total of Christmas business was not quite as good as last year. Cut flowers were all sold, but a few plants were left, mostly azaleas. Customers did not seem to care for fancy plant arrange- ments. The call was for less expensive stock. Carnations were the leader, with good business on roses, sweet peas and violets. North Dakota. Grand Forks.— The Wickler Floral Co, found that business on the whole was much better than in 1907, though carna- tions this season were fifteen per cent lower in price. The supply of stock, was hardly suflBcient for the demand, and nearly everything was cleaned out ex- cept a few sleepy carnations. Sales began early, were slow for a while, but finished with a whirl. The weather was ideal. Red carnations sold best. An interesting feature was the great num- ber of small orders for the best grade of stock; the people economized in quan- tity rather than in quality. North Carolina. Greensboro, — The J. Van Lindley Nursery Co. opened a new store in the Hotel Guilford building just in time to catch a fine Christmas trade. Ohio. Alliance. — Everything sold out clean, according to J. F. Zimmerman, and more stock of all kinds could have been used. Cut flowers were in most demand, and the only salable things left were the ferns. Canton. — Charles Lindacher says Christmas was better than last year, making a good clean-up on everything except Roman hyacinths. Carnations were in special demand. The weather was favorable and d'^livery easy. Akron. — J. R, Norton reports a joyous Christmas, better than 1907 and very much better than 1906. Practically everything cleaned up; more cut stock and more blooming plants could have been used. Plant embellishment was profitable, not alone in increased sales but a good profit also was made on the supplies consumed. The Japanese air plant was especially popular with those who wanted low-priced things. Zanesville. — John D. Imlay found Christmas fully equal to 1907 and better than 1906, with more cash sales. Cut flowers just about went around, but a few plants were left, notably Lorraine begonias and lilies in pots. He could have sold more of the cheaper plants, those at 25, 50 or 75 cents. A few cus- tomers appreciated the pot covers, rib- bons,' etc., but moet of them did not consider such decoration essential when they found it added to the price. Sandusky,— At the Central Green- houses, B. J. Mackey says the Christ- mas was about the same as last year. A few carnations were left and a few of the more expensive pot plants. More plants of the cheaper grade could have been sold, and more roses. The best sale was for primroses, small cherries, cycla- mens, Whitmani ferns and azaleas. The use of plant decorations was found profit- able, and there was a good sale for pot- tery, especially hanging ferneries and vases filled with Japanese air plant, plum- osus and Sprengeri. If anything, the call was for a little more expensive stock than last year. Christmas trees were scarce, because many had placed orders with a seedsman who failed to ship, Oklahoma. Oklahoma City. — C. W. Stiles, of the Stiles Co., says Christmas was one-third better than in 1907 and double 1906. More cut flowers could have been used, but few plants were left, especially poin- settias. Pot covers and ribbon helped to get the better prices which prevailed. Basket arrangements sold well. Custom- ers wanted the best, and good plants sold readily. Pennsylvania. Sewickley. — H. C. Buchler says Christmas business was grand — not a cut flower or blooming plant left unsold. Reading. — H.

More cut flowers could have been sold, but there were plants left. Harrisburg. — The Paxton Greenhouses say that cut flowers sold clean, but a few pot plants were left. Carnations and Paper Whites sold better than anything else. The effect of last year 's panic was still apparent in the call for the less expensive stock. Allentown. — There was enough stock for Christmas, and John F. Horn & Bro. say the business was not quite up to 1907, though about as good as 1906. Trade was late in starting and the weather not very good. Pot covers were required on all stock, and the plants in baskets and hampers, also poinsettias in decorated pans, sold well. WiLKESBARRE. — George W. Carr says the total business was about the same as in the last two years, practically every- thing selling out clean. Plants were in better demand than last year, poinsettias, azaleas, cyclamens and primroses selling best. People wanted no frills with good plants. The call was for the less ex- pensive things. Holly was much over- done, everyone selling it. South Dakota. Aberdeen. — "When E. Strohmeier fig- ured up his Christmas trade it showed a large increase over that of 1907. He sold everything out clean and could have sold more cut flowers if he had had them. Eetail prices were good. His out-of-town Christmas sales began December 22 and the town sales December 24. In cut flowers the best grades sold best; in plants the medium-priced ones were most in demand. There were comparatively few cash sales. The weather was fine and warm. Sioux Falls. — All cut flowers sold, the total being about as last year; plant sales increased a third. G. A. Thomas grew a lot of poinsettias and cyclamens; the former all found takers, but some cyclamens were left. The customers wanted plain pot covers; ribbons and baskets were not in demand. Paper "Whites in pans, with a green pot cover, sold well if not too tall-growing. . Ex- pensive arrangements did not sell here. Tennessee. Knoxville. — Chas. L. Baum reports that trade was better than in the pre- ceding two years. His stock was sold out almost clean, and he could have sold more f>f some varieties of plants if they had been on hand. His best sellers were carnations. About the only item» of sal- able stock left were a few narcissi and valley. Sales started early and prices were good. The weather was excellent. Texas. Denison. — The flower business is grow- .ng in Texas. Supplies were much in- creased, and. E. Farley says the Christ- mas trade was double that of 1906 or that of 1907. More cut flowers could have been sold. ]\ot many flowering plants are offered and the usual run of house plants were not in special demand. Vermont. Burlington. — Emslie & Bradfoot say Christmas compares favorably with its predecessors. Carnations sold best, fol- lowed by azaleas, primulas and cyclamens. No accessories were used with these. Burlington. — Cora E. Gove found the Christmas trade much better than ever before, with better prices and a call for better stock than last year. Plant trade was good, and the buyers appreciated the u«e of pot covers, etc. Rutland. — Almost as good as 1907 pnd better than 1906, is the way G. E. Hunt summarizes the Christmas, trade. All the cut flowers were sold, carnations being in greatest demand, but some plants were left. The call was for the less expensive items and it did not pay to decorate the plants. Washington. Walla Walla. — James Waite found the Christmas trade slightly heavier than usual, but with no special feature. Bloom- ing plants sold best, but more cut flowers also could have been used. Everett. — The notable feature of the Christmas trade, according to the Ever- ett Floral Co., was the way the buyers jumped for the last chrysanthemums of the season. The call was for the more expensive articles, and it paid to embel- lish plants, especially the araucarias, rub- bers and palms. The total of sales was half again as large as in 1907, over double 1906. All cut flowers sold; twice as many could have been used, but there were a few of each kind of plants left unsold. West Virginia, Fairmount. — H. G. Fleming says the Christmas business was ahead of any other year. Plants sold clean, except ferns, for which there was little demand. (Customers would not pay for plant em- bellishments. Cyclamens, azaleas and primroses sold best. Parkersburg. — Supply equaled the demand, but J. W. Dudley & Sons report sales twenty per cent greater than in 1907. Plants took the lead, poinsettias and Lorraine going best. Many baskets, hampers, pot covers and other requisites were used at a good profit. Wisconsin. Uconto. — J. Sylvester says it was a record-breaking Christmas. Cut flower sales were three times last year's, and plant sales more than double. Few cut flowers are sold here except for funerals, so the surprise was great. OsHKOSH.— Fugleberg & Flister enter the note that all cut flowers sold clean for Christmas, but there were plants left. Prices were about as usual at Christmas, but the sales were better than in 1906 and much better than in 1907. Madison. — Fred Rentschler had 1,400 poinsettias and/ sold them all, either cut or in the pots/ His total was about as in 1906 and ten per cent better than in 1907. He did Vot sell out clean, white flowers being left. The weather was fine and helped the plant business. Eau Claire. — A. F. Lauritzen says he sold out clean on everything except Paper Whites, Romans and a few made- up baskets of plants. He finds some kind of pot cover a necessity, but baskets if well filled are a little too high-priced to sell well in small cities. He could have used more red roses, carnations and azaleas. The total of business was about the same as for the last two years. Canada. Toronto. — The Christmas business was laroer than last year, practically every- thing sharing in the demand. R. Mearns finds his sales increased fifty per cent. POLYPODIUM MANDAIANUM. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph supplied by W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., and shows Polypo- dium Mandaianum, a plant which has attracted a great deal of attention since the national flower show by reason of its having there defeated two first-class nephrolepis sports for the award as best new fern, and then captured the gold medal offered for the best plant not yet an article of commerce. To those who have not seen the plant, the illustration, of a specimen in an 8inch pan, will serve to show its character. FiTCHBURG, Mass. — The greenhouses of the Murdock estate are to be sold for removal from the premises. ^ -VCT ■^.■■^■_^, -rrT^ ^r-'jvj ^/ t;/ ^'n.*-"^^, V 'p v ■'**^'«lf*-:v2Wii-* t 10 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 31, 1908. ^^^.'^^sm^^Si ^•'*^-^*^-'-^ THE RETAIL FLORIST mSi SHEAF AND SICKLE. The illustration shows another method of filling a sheaf of wheat with roses, a sickle laid at the base supplying flow- ers necessary to relieve the plain outline of the sheaf. This design is easily made, giving but little opportunity for the dis- play of artistic skill. It is, however, frequently called for and is quite inex- pensive. The arrangement photographed was a funeral design by Charles Henry Fox, made at the Sign of the Rose, Phila- delphia. Phil. MORTON'S BIG DESIGN. Illustrated on this page is a funeral design made by C. E. Morton, of the Redondo Floral Co., Los Angeles, for which Mr. Morton is said to have re- ceived $250. It was the tribute of the employees of the Southern Pacific Rail- road to their division superintendent. The piece represented engine, tender and coach. The engine and car were made of white carnations, roses and other flowers, with adiantum for green. Those parts of the car and engine which could not be reproduced in flowers were in chenille, and immortelle was used for the lettering. The coach bore the name of "Seco," that of the private car of the dead superintendent. The base of the piece was of white chrysanthemums. The entire piece was eleven feet and thirty inches long, CORSAGE BOUQUETS. A Well-made Bunch. A corsage bouquet is nothing more or less than a few flowers tied together to be worn on the bodice or waist of a woman's dross, or, as is often done, fastened to the belt. The more naturally the flowers are bunched, the prettier will be the effect. Here is where the whole trouble lies. Many florists, when called upon to make a corsage bouquet, are so impressed by the name, and so anxious to turn out work that will be a credit to them wiien worn conspicuously, that after repeated efforts the result is a stiff-looking bou- quet. The difference between a well- made corsage bouquet and a poor one is the degree of grace in the arrange- ment. The test of your success will be the frequency with which your customers return to purchase. Just gather the flowers up carelessly and tie the stems together, and you will be surprised at the nice, airy-looking bou- quet you can make. Material for Corsages. Almost any flower can be worn this way, except perhaps only the larger ones, as Beauties, chrysanthemums, lilies, etc. These large flowers are usually carried in the hand, or sometimes just one or two arfe worn. A graceful combination of two or even more varieties of flowers also produces a pretty corsage bouquet. Roses and val- ley, orchids and valley, violets and rose- buds, carnations and sweet peas, all look well. Then we have also marguerites, pompons and anemone chrysanthemums, forget-me-nots, and so on down the line. The latter make up exceptionally well, but are, not lasting, If some color is desired, take from six to a dozen Richmond roses and some sprays of valley. Tie them loosely to- gether, leaving some of the valley to form the tip of the bouquet, with the remainder of the valley between the roses. If you wish to tie up a few orchids of the cattleya type, leave the stems as long as they are and, in tying the flow- ers, avoid having them lie too evenly. They must be tar enough apart to show the beauty of each individual flower, and should not all be on the same line or level. Violets are best left in bunches just as they come, and the bunches tied together, forming a close, round bouquet. If any attempt is made to arrange the violets loosely this effect will soon be spoiled by the wilting of the violets. Corsage bouquets would look far more natural if the stems could be left un- covered, but the chance of soiling some expensive gown makes it advisable to cover the stems in some way. Trim off the stems so they will taper to a point when tied together, and then wrap with green foil or datin ribbon. By exercising a little care you can finish a bouquet neatly in this manner. The Use of Ribbon. If you were gathering flowers out in the woods or field, of course you would not expect to tie them with ribbon, but when the flowers come from a florist a pretty bow or rosette Js really essential. Flow- ers grown in the' greenhouse are always more or less stiff as compared with those growing wild. The ribbon should harmonize with the flowers, both in color and kind; and the whole should harmonize with the lady's gown. The ways of using ribbon are many. The most common way is the ordinary bow of one or more loops tied to the stems. Another pretty idea is to tie a small rosette of ribbon or narrow chiffon in with the flowers, with one end of this brought down to the stems and tied there in a neat little bow. With violets or orchids the ties obtain- able from the ribbon supply houses are easiest to apply and are most generally used. Just at present the ties with the gold tassels are popular. Gold and vio- lets are a decidedly effective combina- tion. Unless you arc adept at tying bows, I would advise the use of the ready-made ties. These can be obtained to match almost any flower. A suitable pin should be provided with each corsage bouquet. These also can be procured in many styles and priceb, some fine ones with heads in beautiful shades of pink, blue, lavender, white, etc. Never send out a corsage, or any other bouquet, wrapped only in paper. Some sort of a box should be used; otherwise the bouquet is very apt to become crushed. Hugo Schroeter. FLOWERS FOR MEMORIAL DAY. We have rebuilt our houses and will start February 1. What can we grow for the Memorial trade? We can sell any flowers. Kindly give time of plant- ing. I had thought of one house of lilies. Can we get them in? I. H. R. Lilium longiflorum, if procured and potted at once, will come in for Memorial day. Lose no time in securing these, *l^ •'*^. ^ i ^*^/^ -. ->• .^avorites are not now much grown, bub- are quite useful in floral designs. It is time now to start propagating for next season 's plants. This is best done by cutting the thicker roots in short pieces, half an inch or so in length, and planting in sand in a warm propagating bench. This method of propagation is preferable to taking soft wood cuttings, except in the case of the fall blooming B. Humboldtii, which can be quickly increased by either method, but most easily by the soft wood cuttings. Do not keep the old bouvardia plants standing around any longer than necessary, for they alwaysjpbecottyp- head- quarters for mealy bug. Dutch Bulbs. The unusually clear and warm winter, which we have so far been favored with, has permitted of a larger number than usual of the yellow Trumpet narcissi being flowered for Christmas. The bulb market is not what it was a number of years ago. With the camellia, tuberose and one or two other flowers, it had a heavy slump. Nevertheless, there is a fair call for well grown flowers of nar- cissi and tulips during the winter months. It is unwise to bring in too big a batch of any one variety at a time, the market for these being much more limited than for carnations, roses and violets, bilt where a good retail trade exists, a few flats should be housed every fourth or fifth day to keep up a steady succession. That beautiful and ever popular forc- ing tulip. La Reine, should be kept dark for a few days in a warm house to draw up the stems, which are naturally short. A case such as is used for valley will answer well for this purpose. Some of the other tulips are now well started and a few pans or flats of these can be started at intervals. The ffemand for these is, however, small compared with that for La Reine. Golden Spur and Henry Irving are now in season and are useful. Always let the flowers open out in a cool house, to give them substance. Narcissus poeticus ornatus, sweet scented yellow jonquils and a few of the earliest Dutch hyacinths may all now be started. Look over the main lot of bulbous stock and thoroughly water any that show the least trace of dryness at the roots. Lilies. "Will my lilies be in season for Easter?" is the burden of many in- quiries now received. Easter, 1909, comes on April 11, a week earlier than in 1908. It is always better to have plants a little too early than to be obliged to resort to hard forcing a few days before the Easter festival. Lilies which are now six to eight inches high will be all right for Easter, if grown along in a temperature of 48 to 50 degrees at night for a few weeks, giving them 5 degrees more heat a little later in the winter. Bulbs which are just pushing through the soil will also come in, but will require a little more pushing. Give them 55 degrees at night now, advancing to 60 degrees when they are six inches high. We do not like to force the plants until the pots are well filled with roots. Look over the stock frequently and throw away any showing signs of " disease. Green aphis will quickly secure a foothold in the tops of the shoots if fumigating is neglected. Blow a little fine tobacco dust on the tops of the shoots. This will also help to keep pests in check. Candidum lilies for Easter should be smilax beds. Keep them on the dry side for a week or two, until the shoots have started well, when water may be applied more freely. Smilax will grow well in a lower temperature than asparagus. While it will stand 60 degrees at night, we prefer to grow it at least 5 degrees cooler. Palms. Take advantage of any spare hours to clean over the foliage on the palms. You cannot well expect customers to purchase plants with dirty foliage, such as we too often see, and if you have any decora- tions to carry out, you cannot afford to use dirty plants. If there is much scale on the leaves, use some whale oil soap in the water, being careful, how- ever, not to use it on young, soft foliage, or burning will result. Wash the wood- work and glass with soap and water, and if bug has gotten a foothold, it will pay to paint the iron and woodwork with kerosene, always being careful not to let this drop on the foliage. It is rather too early yet to do any repotting. Wait until the days lengthen a little more. Aster Gladys Evelyn. started at once. As these resent hard forcing, give them a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees as a starter. A little more heat may be given when the buds show. Asparasfus Plumosus. The Christmas trade occasions a heavy demand for Asparagus plumosus. Where the strings have been clean cut out of portions of the beds, give the surface soil a good cleaning over and apply a mulch of decayed cow manure. Get the new twine strung as soon as possible. It is a big mistake to leave it until growth starts. Cutworms frequently harass as- paragus growers and do great damage by eating the young shoots and tender foliage. Pyrethrum insect powder and Strawson's Vaporite are the best reme- dies we know of for these destructive pests. Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas has failed to clean them out. Smilax. Treatment similar to that recommend- ed for Asparagus plumosus nanus should be given the cut-over portions of the Antirrfiinums. Antirrhinums benched in place of the earliest mums are now growing apace and will need a little attention every few days. Supports must be given to the flower stems, for if once bent or twisted they are practically worthless. It is not a good policy to let every shoot run up to flower, or your spikes will be small. If you want these to be of fancy quality, reduce the number on each plant to half a dozen and rub off all others as they appear. Keep the side shoots rubbed off the flowering stems as they advance. The surface soil will require an occa- sional stirring and, as the roots will now run pretty well through the compost, a little liquid manure can be given with advantage. ASTER GLADYS EVELYN. Five years ago the aster illustrated as Gladys Evelyn originated with E. A. Muchow, of Clarence, N. Y.

Instead of saving seeds from all the flowers on the plants, he saved only those from selected blooms, with the result that a steady improve- ment has been made in the quality of both bloom and stem. Mr. Muchow says that even in the unfavorable aster season of 1908 the flowers attained five inches in diameter, with stems two feet long. He asserts that under favorable conditions it can be grown much better. This new aster is of the Comet type, and so double that it is a shy seeder. The center of the flower does not show. Mr. Muchow thinks he has in Gladys Evelyn a valuable addition to the list of florists' asters. ELM COURT FARM CLUB-RCX)M. A striking example of the way a keen business man cares for the well-being of his employees is furnished by Wm. Doug- las Sloan at his large estate in Lenox, Mass. He has recently erected for the various employees a comfortable club- room, well heated and ventilated, and lighted by electricity. Installed therein is a full size pool-table of the finest make, and a phonograph of the latest design furnishes musical entertainment. Chess, checkers, dominoes, cards and a well-stocked library make the club at- tractive to the young men, keeping them interested and amused and away from the more or less harmful and expensive at- tractions of the adjacent city of Pitts- field. Mr. Sloan has not only earned the gratitude of his employees, but has made a splendid investment that will bear con- tinuous interest in more efficient work and in the mental, moral and physical well-being of his employees. A. T. B. A COURSE IN FLORICULTURE. Massachusetts Agriculttsral College. The short course in floriculture at Massachusetts Agricultural College prom- ises to be a great success. Already ap- plications have been accepted to about the capacity of the teaching equipment. It has been decided, however, to accept twenty for this course, instead of fifteen, as originally planned. It is regretted that the new instruction building and the greenhouses will not be finished be- fore February 15, or all who desire the course could be accommodated. The practical men are giving the course their most hearty support and the talks by experts promise to be espie- cially valuable. The following have consented to assist in this course: W. H. Elliott, Brighton, Mass., "Rose Grow- ing as a Business"; Eber Holmes, Mon- trose, "Roses"; M. A. Patten, Tewks- bury, and Peter Fisher, Ellis, "Carna- tions"; E. O. Orpet, South Lancaster, "Orchids"; William Sim, Cliftondale, "Sweet Pea Culture Under Glass"; Wm. J. Stewart, Boston, "Wholesale Market- ing ' ' ; George Sinclair, Holyoke, ' ' Chrys- anthemums"; E. J. Canning, Northamp- ton, Mass., "The Work of the Private Gardener. " It is expected that Mr. Sykes, of Lord & Burnham Co., will speak on "Greenhouse Design and Con- struction"; also Andrew Elder, of the same firm, on "Greenhouse Heating." Several other experts in various lines hope to assist, but definite arrangements have not yet been made. In addition to these talks, the daily lectures and laboratory exercises in flori- culture, soils, fertilizers, insects and dis- eases promise to make a busy ten weeks. Professor White is planning Saturday morning observation trips to various greenhouse establishments. These will include the commercial ranges of Field, Northampton; Beach, South Hadley; Sinclair, Holyoke; Beals and others, Springfield; Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., and many more, and the conservatories at Smith College and Mt. Holyoke Col- lege. E. A. W. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. The Christmas trade this year. was a great improvement over that of 1907. AH kinds of cut blooms commanded a good price. Plants sold well and were much used. All the store men had a good trade and all hands can look back on the Christmas of 1908 with pleasure. Vuiotis Notes. Jonn Rieman was unfortunately laid up with an attack of rheumatism during Christmas week. The Indianapolis Florists' Club will meet at A. Wiegand's January 6, to per- fect plans for entertaining the visiting florists during the carnation convention. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. J. Baur spent the holidays in Richmond. S. DETROIT. The Market. Christmas was better than ever, both with the retail stores and at the commis- sion houses. The weather was ideal from the shipping standpoint as well. The de- mand for plants was better than ever; in fact, there was not much call for cut flowers until December 24. Roses, car- nations, narcissi, sweet peas, valley, etc., sold well and brought good prices. Vio- lets were also in big demand and by Thursday noon many of the stores had to turn away violet customers. Beauties did not sell. In plants the most popular were cyclamens, azaleas, araucarias, ferns, palms, poinsettias and begonias. The demand was for the less expensive plants. Many baskets were sold where the dol- lars could not be counted on the fingers of one hand, but $2 to $3 were the sums most people wanted to spend. Conditions are about normal again, now that the excitement is over. Variotis Notes. The best roses seen about this city were from Robert Klagge, of Mount Clemens — Richmond, Rhea Reid and La Detroit — while James Cary, also of the Bath City, shipped in some fine Killar- ney. Thomas Browne, of Greenfield, sup- plied over 18,000 carnations to the Cut ilower Exchange. The Bemb Floral Co. reports business as having been most satisfactory. Many fine plant and ribbon combinations were sold. Breitmeyer's had their usual big busi- ness. Philip Breitmeyer, who is now Mayor Breitmeyer, and takes his seat in office January 1, was compelled to put in the whole night at the store Christ- mas eve with the rest of the staff, W. B. Brown was completely cleaned out of plants. J. F, Sullivan had a lot of fine stock and cleaned up pretty well on everything. Carnations were the leaders at Taepke's. In the neighborhood of 6,000 were disposed of and all home-grown stock. A nice business in plants also was done. Schroeter's is no 'doubt plant head- quarters in Detroit. They had a fine lot of azaleas, poinsettias and cyclamens, and few were left. Mr. Schroeter is very enthusiastic about Christmas. E. A. Fetters is highly elated; business by far exceeded expectations. The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House handled a fine lot of stock, red roses and carnations in particular. The next meeting of the Florists ' Club, Monday, January 4, will be the first in the new quarters in the Cowee building. January 7 will be ladies' night. H. S. OBITUARY. Charles Kaehlert, Jr. Charles Kaehlert, Jr., son of Charles Kaehlert, proprietor of the South Side Greenhouse, Joliet, 111,, died December 21.

Albert Grohman died at St. Mary's hospital, Saginaw, Mich., December 11, at the age of 46 years. He was born in Saginaw June 29, 1862. In 1890 he started in the florists' trade with his father and brother. In 1895 the father withdrew from the firm, and from that time the business had been conducted by the deceased and his brother, E, A. Groh- man, under the name of Grohman Bros. Mr. Grohman had been suffering with Bright 's disease* for over two years, but the end was not expected so soon, as he had been confined to bed for only a week when he died. He is survived by his wife, his mother, three brothers and one sister. The business will be continued under the name of Grohman Bros. Sarah Pierce Frost. Sarah Pierce Frost, wife of Varnum Frost, the well known market grower of Arlington, Mass., died December 23, at the age of 74 years. Funeral services were held at the chapel of the First Baptist church, Arlington, December 27. Mr. Frost is one of the best known ex- hibitors of vegetables at Horticultural hall, and has the sympathy of many friends in his affliction. Arthur E. Clark. Arthur E. Clark died December 23, at Cambridge, Mass., from an attack of typhoid fever, from which he had been suffering for ten days, Mr, Clark, who was a native of Randolph, Mass,, was at one time engaged in the florists' busi- ness there with his parents. He later worked for Oakes Ames, in North Easton, after which he went into busi- ness on his own account at East Wey- mouth, where he stayed about five years On giving up his place there, he was engaged by Sidney Hoffman to care for his greenhouses at Mount Auburn, leav- ing there only a short time ago. Mr. Clark was esteemed by all who knew him and his early and untimely death will be mourned by many. He was 30 years of age and leaves a widow and two children. Mrs, Clark is well known as an expert botanist and is an excellent authority on native plants. 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ I)i:ri;Miii;K Itl, 1908. £^-'r:.^: ..^:.:^: ..^: .:^: ..'>*•. ..^: .:^:..-iJ^»^:9^- ■.»>•• ■■»;•■.»•• -.»^-v»)vV»i-^r»>'4-'v»i^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS 9 i Bouvardias.

Look out for a freeze, the weather man says. Taking it by and large, 1908 was not so bad a year. Now let's all turn in and make 1909 the best year the trade ever has had. There is no date better than January 1 for the settlement of outstanding ac- counts. Don't fail to render statements and ask payment. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Application for Registration. Public notice is hereby given of the application of the Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., for the registration of the plants specified below. These appli- cations for registry were filed in this office December 23, 1908, and any per- son knowing of any reason why the reg- istry of these names should not be made is requested to communicate with the undersigned. Canna, Wawa. — Parentage, Maiden 's Blush X a seedling; soft pink flowers, green foliage, three to four feet high, nicely rounded flowers. Canna, Mont Blanc, Improved. — Mont Blanc, Improved, has the same vigorous constitution and luxuriant green foliage as its antecedent, Mont Blanc; it has large flowers, which are almost pure white and produced in great profusion; height about four feet; foliage green. Eose, Climbing Mosella. — New climb- ing rose, a sport from the bush rose, Mosella, and identical in the appearance of blossoms. W. N. Kudd, Sec 'y. December 23, 1908. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The committee, Messrs. Simpson, May and Pierson, appointed by President Poehlmann, met in New York city, De- cember 21, to discuss the schedule for the Buffalo exhibition. The work was found to call for close attention and the committee could not finish at one sit- ting. At present there is $715 cash avail- able for prizes, and three silver cups. The florists of Buffalo are making preparations in earnest for their share of the work. The Iroquois hotel may be selected as the place for the exhi- bition. According to the society's by- laws, the opening day will be the fourth Wednesday in Lent, which will be March 17, 1909. The annual meeting will open on that day. The exhibition will be held in conjunction with the Buffalo Florists' Club. All prizes "should be forwarded as soon as possible to the secretary, Benj. Hammond, Fishkill, N. Y., whether cups or cash, to get into the schedule. A WORD WITH ADVERTISERS. The next four or five months are the heaviest of the year with the Review — the ones in which advertising patronage is greatest. The Review aims to take care of every advertising order, for any issue, received up to 12 0 'clock, noon, on Wednesday, the day of going to press. This permits advertisers to mail "copy" on the 18- hour trains that leave New York at 3:45 on Tuesday afternoon, Philadelphia at 4:55, and be in lime. The Review will be found as prompt to discontinue advertisements as to in- sert new ones. But to give this prompt service to all patrons it is necessary that we have their cooperation. Don't ask us to do regu- larly on Wednesday what you might as well give us to do on Tuesday, or on Monday. Make it a rule to mail your advertising instructions to reach us Mon- day, or Tuesday at the latest. Then we shall have the decks cleared for you on the occasional weeks that you have impor- tant instructions you cannot place in our hands until Wednesday. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The last week of 1908 has been about normal. Following Christmas there was the usual falling off in demand, but out- side orders soon began to come in again. The city trade is light. Funeral work is decidedly slack and only a few of the leading stores share in the social festivi- ties. These stores are having a good run of decorating for weddings and especial- ly for receptions and dinners. As usual, everything was cut close for Christmas, so that for several days there were light receipts, but it was noticeable at Christmas that crops were just coming on and it was only a few days before the receipts of roses were heavy enough to depress the prices. This was especially true of Beauties. The weather has been for two weeks specially favorable for bringing on the rose crops and December 29 was a spring day. If the weather man's long-promised cold wave does not materialize soon, the market will suffer. Carnations held up surprisingly after Christmas. Violets also were scarce be- cause of the close pick for the holiday and the preparations for supplying the special New Year's demand. New Year's has added considerably to the shipping of first-class stock, but New Year's, com- paring it with the Christmas demand, is fifty-one places removed instead of only one.

The big shipping days of the Christ- mas market were accurately reported in last week's Keview, so that all that re- mains to be said is that Thursday, De- cember 24, the day the local business has to be cared for, developed a first-class demand and a larger supply of Beauties than had been anticipated. Practically every Beauty grower had many more flowers than he had expected to cut, the weather being specially favorable. In addition, Philadelphia contributed Beau- ties to this market. So did Council Bluffs, and the largest lot of all came from New Castle, having gone elsewhere in recent years. So Chicago drew Beau- ties from a stretch of 1,500 miles and had probably as many Beauties as any other year. The greatest trouble was that, in holding back, many of the Beau- ties which could have been marketed at a good price when right, were too open to be salable on arrival. As a result, prices on anything but the best grade were made by the buyer. The street boys got long Beauties of the open variety at pretty close to midsummer prices. Some fairly good stock is said to have sold as low as $9 per dozen after the shipping days had passed; the heaviest receipts were at the eleventh hour and it was much easier to fill Beauty orders Decem- ber 21 and Christmas morning than it was December 22 or 23. Poinsettias also proved to be in over- supply. They would have sold better if long Beauties had been scarcer, but there always is a limit to the price that can be realized for poinsettias. Above $3 per dozen they go slowly and a great many were left. Violets were so plenti- ful that no high prices were made, a few being left. Other stock came out about right. Maids of the best grade were the scarcest item. Red roses were unusually abundant. Carnations cleaned up well, but at rather lower average prices than last year; some say ten per cent, some as much as twenty per cent. There were fewer white than usual to carry over, but nevertheless most houses had a few buckets of white carnations cheap for funeral work December 26. Taking it altogether, it was a thor- oughly satisfactory Christmas.

Supplies were just about equal to requirements. The quality of stock was fair, although a good many roses were soft. Reports as to how total sales compared with last year vary con- siderably, but just about as the sup- plies of stock varied. Some bouses are handling less stock than they did a year ago, and others considerably more. The total of Christmas business probably is fully as good and possibly a little greater than in 1907. And 1907 was the banner Christmas. Christmas at Retail. The retailers are praciically unanimous in reporting a thoroughly satisfactory Christmas. Not all did more than a year ago, but everyone had a good trade and sold out clean and made money. An immense number of poinsettias in pans, azaleas and other blooming plants was sold. Poinsettias are about the only flower on which any of the retailers were stuck. Gunation Show. The annual Chicago carnation display will be held by the Horticultural Society of Chicago in cooperation with the Chi- cago Florists' Club at the Art Institute, Thursday, January 14, from 1:30 to 5 p. m. There will be no competitive judg- ing and no prizes will be awarded. Cer- tificates of merit of the Horticultural Society will be given to all new varieties scoring eighty-five points or over and silver and bronze medals will be avail- able for award either to new varieties of unusual merit or the displays of older varieties which in quantity, variety and quality shall be considered worthy. All varieties will be staged with the display card of the grower or exhibitor and every effort will be made to secure the best possible advertising returns to the exhibitor. C, W. Johnson, of Rock- ford, will act as judge and N. P. Miller will superintend the exhibition. Originators of new varieties usually send their blooms to the January club meeting and should not miss this one. It is strongly urged that exhibitors will advise J. H. Burdett, assistant secretary, 1411 First National Bank building, as early as possible as to the number of varieties they will show and the quantity of each, so that proper arrangements for vases and staging may be made. The exhibits should be addressed to N. P. Miller, Art Institute, Chicago, and shipped BO as to arrive on the morning of January 14. The society will pay ex- press charges on all exhibits. The committee in charge consists of W. N. Budd, Leonard Kill and L. Coats- worth. Variottt Notes. Chicago wholesalers are turning over a new leaf in the matter of credits.

Wholesale florists all over the country are breaking away from the old practices, apparently realizing that nar- rowing margin of profit calls for the adoption of more conservative business methods. At least one Chicago wholesaler had Christmas orders for cut flowers from cities in Georgia and Florida. W. L. Palinsky, who sells most of his stock at wholesale, says the Christmas buying was late in beginning, but not a plant in bloom was left when he sat down to his Christmas turkey. The strenuous Christmas business put Carl Thomas, of Bandall's, and A. C. Kohlbrand, of Amling's, on the shelf for repairs. Peter Reinberg gave every man in his greenhouses a two-dollar bill for Christ- mas. The boys in the store, and the young lady also, received watches. Herbert Heller, of New Castle, was one of the Christmas visitors. Wietor Bros, say the Christmas busi- ness was the most satisfactory the firm ever has done. Sales were not greatly larger than last year, but the stock matched up with the orders to the great satisfaction of the store force. J. A. Budlong hit Christmas with a fine crop of Killarney and Kichmond; practically the whole crop came in for Christmas and the holiday week, for it will be off in a few days. At Peter Reinberg 's city store it is stated that the sales of December 23 made a new record for the establish- ment. C. W. "McKellar says he sold three times as many orchids as at any other Christmas. He is handling the Mrs. Gill- man violet and says it is better than any Marie Louise in the market. E. E. Pieser says the Kennicott Bros. Co. is more than pleased with Christmas. He says he does not recall a Christmas of recent years where everything cleaned up so well, but he says prices averaged lower than last year. The dealers in Christmas trees, holly and greens had stock for New Year's, in some cases enough to cut quite a hole in the profits. These specialties never were in larger supply than this year. Vaughan & Sperry say that the holi- day business has been specially good with them because of the quantity of violets sold. The E. F. Winterson Co. has done a big business in greens this year and also had a good cut flower trade at Christ- mas. E. H. Hunt reports the holiday supply business the best ever. C. M. Dickinson thinks their Christmas list hit the buyers at the psychological moment, for the re- sponse was much ahead of expectations. Bassett & "Washburn remembered each man in their employ with a box of cigars at Christmas, and in addition the mar- ried men each received a turkey. The A. L. Randall Co. credits Emil Buettner with having had the best Rich- mond in the market for Christmas. They were sold to O. J. Friedman at 50 cents each. Zech & Mann have been doing a better business all fall than they did last year and say Christmas was about one-third greater than in 1907. It is no small compliment to Poehl- mann Bros. Co. that so many sons of well known eastern growers seek employment at Morton Grove. Time was when the young men all went east for floricultural education. Bassett & Washburn have shipped 70,000 cuttings of the O. P. Bassett car- nation. For Christmas they had a big sale on the cut blooms. E. C. Amling says his Christmas was the best ever, but that he missed the buyers whose stores are in the factory districts — they were not buying. It shows that general conditions not only are not back to normal, but it leaves the lower grades of stock on the wholesaler 's hands and pulls down the average. The busi- ness was with the best stores and heavier than ever, but they wanted only the best goods. Scheiden & Schoos say that December 22 to 24 they cut 10,000 carnations, al- most half of which were their new red, Wm. H. Taft. This was from only three 140-foot benches of the variety; they took about 20 cents off of each plant for Christmas. Mr. Schoos says the Taft last year gave twenty-two blooms per plant. NEV ORLEANS. The exchange of plants and flowers for Christmas presents has never been much the custom in New Orleans so far, and this year did not bring much improve- ment in the business of the florists. Every establishment was well provided with flowering stock, but the general sales were poor. But in another way, the use of greens, in the line of Christmas trees and holly, is much on the increase, and the city was overcrowded with vend- ers of all kinds. Competition was close 20 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Dkcbmbek 31, 1908. Wild Smilax Now on hand in any quantity. Can ship from Chicago at a moment's notice.

The Market The charming, sunny holiday weather holds in New York and the year promises to go out in "a. blaze of glory." The week opens auspiciously, not a cloud on the horizon, either from a physical or business standpoint. Shipments are light and the demand seems natural and encouraging,' witiie prices have receded to reasonable figures, as is their custom between Christmas and New Year 's. The "first" is expected to exceed its record this year; because of the re-establishment of confidence in financial circles and the growing disposition of the metropolis to signalize its Happy New Year greetings in flowers and blooming plants, now that the calling methods of the old days are no longer popular. Christmas of 1908 will long be a happy memory. Plant growers invari- ably declared, when the question of de- mand was suggested, that "everything was sold," and the majority of them told the literal truth. If anything was in excess it was the azalea, and yet every well flowered plant of this found a ready purchaser. The demand for basket com- binations at reasonable figures seemed to be universal. Begonia Gloire de Lor- raine especially was perfect and popular. The orange tree was used freely in the made-up offerings, and heather, ardisiaa, dracEcnas, pandanus and the new ferns all did duty as never before. It was for the plantsmen a banner Christmas. It wih greatly encourage them in their preparation for Easter, which, coming April 11, gives them fifteen busy weeks of planning for what is sure to be the greatest Easter the florists have ever known. - , i The wholesale seedsmen of lower ana central New York city, and the handlers Start The New^ Year BY USING THE NEW MONARCH RIBBON, a ribbon of unusual brilliancy, good body, clean weave and at a low price.

The Pine Tree Silk Mills Company I Mention The Review when you write. of green goods in the wholesale district, all declare it was the best Christmas they have ever known. Every perfect tree, every sprig of well berried holly, every yard of evergreen roping, was sold, and well sold. The demand for holly wreaths was insistent. Some of the wholesalers put their men at work night and day on these alone, and could not fill all their orders. In the cut flower markets there was no excitement, hardly a trace of pickling — "the world do move," as Brother Jas- per says — and the prices asked brought wholesaler and retailer together more harmoniously than in a generation. The slight natural advance in rates for Beauties and other roses, violets and car- nations was accepted without a murmur, and the all-night session was one of the most placid, cheery and friendly I have ever seen in wholesaledom in these last busy seven years. Top for Beauties was $1.25; for Killarney, 50 cents; for Brides and Maids, 25 cents. Violets touched $1.25 per hundred for specials, and carnations, except for the reds, did not go above 10 cents at any time, and most of them sold at reasonable rates. There were few good chrysanthemums. For the poorer samples held over there was no demand. Orchids, valley, gar- denias and lilies, especially the latter, were abundant, and while there was no scarcity in anything but roses, there was no abnormal demand nor any freak prices at any time. The general business never seemed to be on a better common- sense, supply and demand basis. The present week sees a reduction of twenty-five per cent on everything, with smaller shipments and the prospect of steady rates until Thursday, when the New Year's demand begins. The whole week should prove a satisfactory one, especially to the retailers, who were prac- tically sold out of everything at noon on Christmas, and who have weddings, dinners and theaters galore to keep the pot boiling from now on through the busy winter season. The Christmas re- tail business was an agreeable surprise to these patient men, who ai'e the real foundation of the whole structure .and '^■«,W"^^'-'-^ p-. •■■' T • -.-.V- f. Decembeb 31, 1908.

Budolph Fischer was in New York last week on his way from the golden west to Germany. The generosity of the trade to its em- ployees was everywhere manifest at Christmas. A notable example of gen- erosity was the gift of New York Cut Flower Co. to Miss Mildred Foran, the bookkeeper, who leaves the firm Janu- ary 2 for her home in Canada. The managers and employees also joined in the demonstration, which included a week 's salary, a rich leather handbag and $50 in gold. Miss Agnes Savage will succeed Miss Foran. A. T.

In the rose line, Killamey, Chatenay, Maid and Bride were all received in large quantities — plenty to fill all orders and some left. If it had not been for some large funerals right after Christ- mas there would have been trouble in moving the white stock left over. Various Notes. Smith & Fetters report trade better than a year ago, with a strong demand for large plants of all kinds.' The call for long Beauties and violets with this firm was exceptional this Christmas. After the holidays large funeral orders kept all hands hard at work. Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, says trade was better than ever. He sold quantities of plants and Christmas wreaths. Cut flowers also sold well. From the west side Knoble Bros, re- port a tremendous trade, leaving last year's volume of business far in the shade. This firm ^ade a specialty of wreaths of immortelles, boxwood and magnolia, which sold faster than they could be turned out. Mr. Knoble re- marked that a customer had to be disap- pointed for a box of flowers Christmas afternoon, as they ^ere completely sold out. Westman & Getz report the best busi- ness they ever had. They sold quantities of novelties in decorated baskets, for which this firm is famous. Cut flower trade was also fine. John Kirchner reports a good sale on cemetery wreaths for the holidays, as well as being busy with large funeral orders. W. F. Hanna, of Woodland Hills, had some large funeral orders for the Bray- ton, one of which was a large car wheel of violets and Romans. Beports from C. M. Wagner are of the best, as the force worked all night get- ting out orders. The call here was for the best grade of plants and cut flowers. They also had some large decorations last week. W. H, Kramer, of Eocky Eiver, sent in a fine cut of carnations for Christmas, his rose-pink being very fine. On Monday, December 28, the 3". M. Gasser Co. had the misfortune of hav- ing its large delivery wagon catch fire from an overturned lantern, ruining all the flowers it contained. Lars Anderson was on hand with his usual large cut for the holidays, consist- ing of carnations, Eomans, narcissi and poinsettias. His Victory carnations were fine. Eobert Kegg sent in a fine lot of car- nations for the holidays. His Enchant- ress were especially good. The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. handled an extra good lot of violets for Christ- mas, but it was impossible to fill orders. Their Killamey and Richmond were also fine. C. A. Bramley had all that he could handle at his three stores. Large quan- tities of Boston ferns and araucarias were disposed of; also hundreds of pans filled with sea moss. B.

The demand for Christmas flowers, Christmas plants and Christmas greens last week was something extraordinary. It really seemed as though every man, woman and child in the City of Brotherly Love found one or another of these fruits of nature indispensable at Christ- mas. That this was true in every other city within reach of this market was abundantly evidenced by the immense shipments of all three of these commodi- ties that went out. The cut flower business was fully equal to that of any preceding Christmas. While it is difiicult to measure so large a market accurately, a careful survey of the field leads to the belief that the volume of business was larger than ever before; that prices, while not so high, averaged better, and that the quality of stock, speaking generally, was superior to that sent out in previous years. Taking the staple flowers on the list, one at a time, the general opinion pre- vails that Beauties were as plentiful (probably a little more so) as in pre- vious years; the average price for long- stemmed flowers was $12 to $15 per dozen, the lower figure being the rul- ing one. Flowers of this grade were equal to the demand, but those of the medium grades and of the shorter grades with perfect blooms were not equal to the demand. Mrs. Jardine, Kichmond, and Killarney came next to Beauties in quality. Fancy blooms of all three of these sterling varieties touched 50 cents, while choice medium stock sold readily at from 25 to 40 cents. Kichmond espe- cially was in great demand and heavy supply. Killarney far outranked the pure tea varieties, and was sold in larger quantities than any other pink rose. Bride, Bridesmaid and Golden Gate were all in demand when choice. Select blooms sold readily at 20 cents, occasionally higher. But none of these varieties seemed in as large supply as in former years. The feature of the carnation market was, as is usual at Christmas, the prefer- ence shown for red, choice blooms of Beacon and some of the other fancy reds bringing from 12 to 15 cents, while good average stock of this color sold readily (this is hot a pun) at 10 cents. A fair price for Enchantress and fancy white was 8 cents, while 4 to 6 cents was about right for fairly good stock in all colors but red. Poor and held-over flowers gen- erally realized 3 cents. Cattleyas were scarce at 75 cents each. Cypripediums were decidedly in excess of the demand at 12^^ cents. A fair amount of Dendrobium formosum lent variety to the orchid class. Violets were rather scarce. Hightstown doubles brought $1.50 to $2 ; choice fancy singles, $1. While a certain amount of Marie Louise was sold, they hardly seemed as popular as the Lady Campbell from Hightstown. Gardenias were in fair sup- ply at prices ranging from 50 to 75 cents each. Valley was plentiful, of choice quality, generally speaking, and sold fairly well. There were a good many Harrisii lilies about. The demand for them was hardly equal to the supply. Mignonette sold well, 6 cents being obtained for the best ; while bouvardia, when good, was also in demand. Immense quantities of poin- settias were marketed, chiefly at prices ranging from $8 to $25 per hundred, the latter figure buying fancy stock that wholesaled at higher prices than in for- mer years. Greens were not in especial demand. The well-known propensity of the grow- ers to increase their Christmas returns by sending in whatever greens they can scrape together demoralizes the green market, which is always weak at a holi- day. Smilax suffered least, a fair amount being disposed of, usually at $12.50 per hundred, while asparagus, both bunches and strings, dragged badly. Summing up the cut flower situation, the demand set in late, Wednesday, De- cember 23, being below expectations. But the following day saw a rush that was continued until noon on Christmas for the scarcer varieties of stock, red and Dbcembeb 31, 1908.

A judicious drop in prices sold nearly everything, except white, which was in oversupply. This would not have occurred had the growers heeded the wholesalers' instructions to push white along as fast as. fit, and hold nothing. The plant business was treated in this column last week. It is only necessary to add that the retail stores disposed of their plants with such success that many say it was a plant Christmas. All the bright-colored blooming plants sold well, while nTlade-up baskets and hampers filled with choice foliage and flowering stock were never in better demand, and, it is only fair to add, were never so attractive- ly presented. Some of the leading shops greatly exceeded their last year's num- ber of made-up baskets and hampers, and a day before Christmas had sold every- thing that was ready. Poinsettias were especial favorites with the average buyer for this work. The business in greens may be summed up briefly as follows: The wholesalers handled more stock than ever before; but there were more cases than usual of overconfidence in the de- mand, chiefly among the retailers, and the disappointment consequent to left- over stock. Holly and the cheaper wreaths were notable sufferers. The prices in the cut flower market have fallen from one-third to one-half since Christmas. Business is brisk, roses and nearly all the varieties of small flowers being noticeably in demand. Many of the white carnations left over from Christmas have been consumed in various ways, so that little is going to waste. There is still a fair amount of poinsettia in the market, but the bulk of the stock has been cut. Violets con- tinue scarce, and cyps extremely plenti- ful. Paper Whites sold well at Christ- mas and continue in demand. Various Notes. Edward Keid had some choice Bonnaf- fons and white and yellow Mrs. Jerome Jones for Christmas. He made a ship- ment to Athens, Ga., a day or two later. August Doemling sent some fine long- stemmed Killarney roses to the S, S. Pennock-Meehan Co. Robert Leslie Kift filled a thousand or more of his father 's bowls with partridge berries, which solQ advantageously at Christmas. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received importations of advance Easter novelties by the steamer Manitou. Carl Lang, of Boxborough, sent in some fine scarlet carnations for Christ- mas. M. Rice & Co, are sending out a unique New Year's greeting in the form of a bank check, payable in the sum of three hundred and sixty-five days of happiness, and on the back appears a set of New Year's resolutions, with some good ad- vice. The funeral of the father of United States Senator Penrose called for many floral tributes. Charles M. Keegan has executed some large orders this week. Phil. BOSTON. The Christmas Trade. All hands are agreed that the Christ- mas flower trade was satisfactory, a de- cided improvement over a year ago. In a few cases, as, for instance, fancy car- nations, prices ruled a little lower than in 1907, but the clearing out was far better and an optimism prevailed which was entirely lacking at that time. Up till a few days before Christmas there were grave doubts as to how business would be, but in the last two or three days it came with a rush which simply surprised everybody. While no fancy prices were realized, the general clear- ance was good and trade surpassed all expectations. In roses, the best Beauties made $12 26 .'•■/■.'■'T • 1 ••■=•• The Weekly Florists' Review.

Quite a good many, some- what shorter, fetched $9. Some really magnificent Killarney and Richmond brought $6 per dozen, other grades bring- ing $4, $3 and downwards. Many more red roses could have been sold. Brides- maid moves heavily now that Killarney is so much grown, and Bride went slow- ly, with little advance. Some remarkably fine White Killarney were seen, while some oi the old-time favorites, such as Isabella Sprunt, Safrano, Perle and Niphetos were noted. Of Maryland and Jardine a limited number only arrived. Some Rhea Reid made up to $4 per dozen, but there are complaints of this rose turning a sour color forty-eight hours after picking. A few fancy carnations made $8 to $10 per hundred. These included scar- lets, crimsons and dark pinks. Fair Maid and Enchantress made $5 to $6, while whites were, as usual, a slow sale, $2 to $3 being prevailing prices. Violets were not overabundant ; $1 to $1.50 were average prices, although $2 was paid for a few. The output of singles was greatly reduced from a year ago. Valley made $2 to $4. Poinsettias were abundant at $2, $3, $4 to $5 per dozen bracts. There was a good supply of Trumpet Major narcissus, a few Golden Spurs and Tulip La Reine also appearing. Paper "Whites sold better than usual, making up to $3 per hundred, but Romans were in over- supply. A few late mums appeared, the best making $2 per dozen. Sweet peas were good at from $1 to $2 per hun- dred. Red and pink bouvardia, Euphor- bia jacquiniseflora, mignonette, antirrhi- nums and Cypripedium insigne were all on hand. Cattleyas made $5 to $6 per dozen and gardenias $4 per dozen. Lilies made $10 to $12.50 per hundred. Callas were few. Asparagus, smilax and adiantum all had a good sale, without any advance in price. In evergreens business was of im- mense proportions. Holly was over- abundant and rather a slow sale. Laurel wreathing had a tremendous sale; so had boxwood. Pine wreathing proved less popular than laurel. The plant trade was far the heaviest Boston has ever seen. The store-keepers all report splendid business and many more good plants could have been dis- posed of, particularly of colored sorts. Poinsettias in pans had a big sale; so had azaleas, of which there was never a better lot seen here at Christmas. Lor- raine begonias had a good sale, but some people seem to be tiring of these. Ardisias, solanums and Otaheite oranges were well cleaned out. Hollies and skimmias were fewer than usual, but sold out. Cyclamens did not sell quite so well as expected, the trouble being that the plants did not have sufficient flowers open. Palms in smaller sizes, Boston and Whitmani ferns and fern dishes all had a good sale. All the plant specialists did a satisfactory trade, being cleaned out of all good stock. Lily of the valley sold particularly well. Since Christmas the market has been good, with prices fairly well maintained. Not for a long time have the markets been so well cleaned out. All growers look forward to 1909 with a feeling of optimism and anticipate steadily improv- ing trade in the new year. Horticultural Society.

While out gathering reports as to Christmas business, I came to the con- clusion that this year's business eclipsed all former records and must go down as the best ever. Prices were Mgh on cut stock and the wholesalers had nothing left after Friday noon. The demand for plants among the retailers was never better and the show houses of the west end florists are empty. The feature this year was the large number of bloom- ing plants offered, and no retailer seems to have overbought in these. The most popular blooming plants this year were azaleas, poinsettias and Lorraine begonias. Poinsettias in low pans sold best, and azaleas were well flowered. The weather was just right for delivery, little wrapping being needed. AH kinds of greens sold well, despite the fact that holly and greens could be bought on all street corners, as both were plentiful and cheap this year. In cut flowers the marke' "vas well supplied with everything in season and all stock cleaned up early at good, big, stiff prices. Carnations took the lead and all fancies brought $8 per hundred. Aristocrat, Enchantress and red sold best. In violets the market had only Californias to sell, at $2 per hundred, and they retailed at $1 per bunch of twenty-five.

Downtown, Ostertag Bros., Young & Sons Co., Miss Badaracco, the Foster Floral Co., John Burke and the Riessen Floral Co. say that everything sold well, all handling cut flowers principally, ex- cept Young & Sons Co., who did a big plant trade. The Bentzen Floral Co., A. Brix and F. H. Meinhardt, up north, also had a big Christmas trade, so Christmas of 1908 will go down as the best the St. Louis florists have ever had.

Christmas trade was good this year. Everything in choice stock moved rap- idly. Decorations were furnished for several parties which were given Christ- mas evening. Long poinsettias, cattleyas and ardisias were used to good advantage at these social functions. Some of the leaders of society, who usually spend the holidays in the metropolis, remained in Erie this year, and added materially to the success of the merchants. The florists in particular are all well satis- fied with the Christmas trade. Various Notes. The Erie Floral Co., of which H. J. Wise is manager, sent large shipments of roses and carnations to the William F. Kasting Co., Buffalo, N. Y., for the holidays. Miss Cora Hapgood helped in the store of her uncle, John V. Laver, dur- ing the Christmas rush. W. 0. Baur is visiting relatives in Toledo, O. Vern Schlurafl did a large business in his new retail store at Conneaut, 0. His greenhouses in Erie were taxed to their utmost capacity. Soman Olzewski, who went into the retail business a short time ago, is doing well in the Polish district. B. P. LOUISVILLE, KY. The Market. Christmas trade was good; some of the florists say it was the best they ever had. Stock of all kinds was plentiful and of good quality, with prices mod- erate. HoUy was plentiful, but was of poor quality. A good many of the whole- sale fruit and commission houses han- dled it this year, and the market was overstocked with it. The first three days of the week were ideal and brought out the shoppers. Various Notes. H. Fuchs is well satisfied with his first year's business on Fourth avenue. Nanz & Neuner sold a good many poin- settias, which were grown at their green- house and were fine. They also cut some good carnations. Jacob Schulz reports that this Christ- mas was equal to his Easter trade. He had a good display of potted plants of good quality. He also disposed of some good Beauties and Richmond and other cut flowers at good prices. F. Walker & Co. report the best Christ- mas they ever had. Mr. Walker wrote a lit- tle article for the local papers denying the report that flowers would be high-priced. Mrs. C. B. Thompson had a good win- dow display, including a life-sized Santa Claus. Wm. Walker had an elegant display of potted plants and cut flowers, and re- ports business better than ever. Fred L. Schulz reports business good. The regular monthly meeting of the So- ciety of Florists will be held at the store of Mr. Schulz. The following oflScers will be installed for 1909: President, Fred L. Schulz; vice-president, Eobert Miller; secretary, H. Kleinstarink ; treas- urer, Joseph Wettle; financial secretary, Louis Kirch; sergeant-at-arms, Wm. L. Korb; trustee, H. Fuchs.

Seed Co., Bloomington, 111., has increased its capital stock from $25,000 to $50,000. Valley will not be forced as extensive- ly in 1909 as in the year just past, and it is reasonable to expect that prices will be more satisfactory than in 1908. There are men of keen foresight who say that there is no industry which will show greater development in the United States in the next score of years than the business of supplying commercial fer- tilizers. Alfalfa was a long time coming into general cultivation in the United States, but it now is grown in every state, with the possible exception of Florida, and is the staple leguminous forage crop throughout the" western half of the coun- try. Paul Pfitzer, son of Wilhelm Pfitzer, Stuttgart, Germany, leaves early in the new year to make a voyage to the West Indies, as well as the southern and east- ern United States. Many of the noted commercial and private establishments in the east will be visited by him while here. It is reported from Sidell, 111., that T. J. Sconce, of tlie Fairview Farm Seed Co., is attracting much attention by his experiments and partial success in pro- ducing cobless corn. Though this new type of corn is, of course, still in the experimental stage, the cob is said to be practically eliminated, being merely a slender stalk on which the kernels grow. It is claimed for this corn that, when perfected, it will enable the farmer to realize a greater production in quality and quantity than at present. CONGRESSIONAL SEEDS. ■ Washington, D. C, Dec. 28.— The progress made in the congressional seed distribution is reported better at this season of the year than it has ever been before. The fire last year, of course, interfered' greatly with the work of the seed distribution, but since the close of the last distribution a new warehouse has been constructed, thoroughly equipped with new machinery and arranged so con- veniently that the work is handled more economically and expeditiously than ever before. The Brown Bag-filling Machine Co. does the packeting this year. The seed for the present year's dis- tribution is practically all in the ware- house, a condition which seldom exists at the Christmas season. The packeting is progressing and stock is ready to go out as fast as congressional requisitions are received. The mailing of the seed dur- ing election year is generally delayed later than in other years; it appears that members of congress are busy with C. C. MORSE & CO. 48-66 Jaekaon St..

Eeports have been current in the seed trade as to the rejection of certain lots of stock bought for the congressional distribution. In recent years there al- ways has been more or less seed turned down because of one cause or another — sometimes low vitality, sometimes be- cause of the admixture of other seeds. 8.M.ISBELL&CO.

The number of rejections this year has not been greater than in former years. One important lot of \jeet seed fell below the standard of germination this year. It was a matter of great regret to the oflBcers in charge, because they really needed the seed, but the samples sub- mitted were not up to the standard of germination and the stock therefore could not be accepted.

Sinking of the foundation of one of the posts that support the building at Fifth street and Eggleston avenue, Cin- cinnati, formerly occupied by the U. S. Playing Card Co., now used as a seed warehouse by J. Charles McCullough, caused the beams supporting the floors of the structure to sink on the morning of December 21. Great excitement ensued in the neighborhood, and the str'-^L cars were run over a different route until four o'clock in the afternoon, when it was deemed safe to again send the cars up the Mt. Adams inclined plane. "It is one of those unexplainable, every-day accidents that has merely de- layed us for a day," Mr. McCullough told the reporters, "but has not de- stroyed a cent's worth of seed. The building is just as solid as it ever was, and I do not anticipate any further trouble with it. The seat of trouble is at the foundation of the one post that sank, and experts say that rats gnawing at the foundation weakened the support of the post. The seed we have in the building does not weigh one-fourth of the amount of cardboard that was stored pre- viously in the building. ' ' "There is nothing seriously the mat- ter with the building," said Building Inspector Xuhlman. "The walls are sound and will not be condemned. In the basement are oiers that go down into the ground. The one north of the canal runway has sunk about five inches, indi- cating that something has given way under it. The floor has been shored up and the seeds are being taken out." The building, which is a six-story brick Suppose That During 1909 we all try to be Fairly Decent.

There appears to be some improvement in the seed trade in England and the wholesaler is reporting an all-round in- crease of business. Last season was a good one for the retailer for the sale of all classes of seeds, and most retailers had an increase of business to report. To this no doubt is due, to some extent, the increased orders given to the whole- sale man. Many stocks were quite cleared last season, much cleaner than the average year. There is usually more or less of all sorts of seeds left after the season's sales to carry forward to the next year, and this surplus to a great extent determines the size of the order to be placed with the wholesaler. This fact, combined with a general average of lighter crops all around and improving conditions of the trade of the country generally, argues well for a good clear- ance for the English wholesalers this season. French beans appear to have turned out a good crop all through the seed growing districts and prices are likely to suffer a sharp fall as the season ad- vances.

Denmark is a large supplier of this article and holds big stocks, and prices appear already sufficiently low from a grower's point of view. Contracts for future crops will probably be at a lower figure than the average. During the course of my travels in the British Isles I find the small seedsman, ■who relies almost entirely upon a local trade transacted over the counter, is sad- ly feeling the effects of the huge mail order business being done all over the kingdom by the large mail order adver- tising houses and the wholesale firms who ■do an agent's business by the "sale or return ' ' system. Firms like the ' ' One and All Seed Cc," Long Acre, London, ■do an almost incredible amount of busi- ness, using as much as a hundredweight and a half of one variety of aster seed alone, and corresponding quantities of ■other lines. This firm has agents in almost every town and village in the kingdom. It supplies seeds in first-class strains, put up for sale, packeted, priced, and named, with cultural directions, al- lows the agent twenty to twenty-five per ■cent commission, and all not sold at the ■end of the season are taken back and allowed for in full. Some other firms are now also working on these lines and there is no doubt it is a hard hit at the local seed shop. Another hard hit at the local seed shop is the autumn auction sales of Dutch bulbs. These are becoming more and more prevalent every year and are now held weekly in the autumn in al- most every town in the kingdom. The bulbs are generally supposed to be left- overs which would not otherwise be dis- posed of, from the Dutch bulb farms. This may be true to some extent, but there is sometimes some high grade stuff Bold at these auctions and at low figures. Certainly, considering the great quaiiti- ties of bulbs disposed of in this way, there cannot be nearly so many sold by the local seedsmen as there would be if these auctions were not in force. J. B. ARGUE FOR SPECIFIC DUTIES. Otto Kirchner, of Detroit, recently ap- peared before the Ways and Means Com- mittee at Washington on behalf of D. M. F§rry & Co., Detroit, to argue for 'the change from ad valorem to specific duties ■on seeds and bulbs, as advocated by the trade organizations. The firm of A. C. Kendel, Cleveland, addressed the following letter to the chairman of the committee: Permit us to ask that the advisability of changing the duty on seeds and bulbs from ad Talorem to specific duty be considered. At present the duty is based on market value, and as this Is changing frequently it remains for some one to say what that value Is, and If the prices entered do not agree with the prices All XBIOAM BKPBXSINTATIVIS AUGUST ROLKER ft SONS, 81 Barclay St., or P.

The report of the National Sweet Pea Society for 1908 was presented by the secretary at the annual meeting in Lon- don, December 11. One or two points are probably of trans-Atlantic interest. The work of the floral committee and the trials at Reading continue to provide the most important part of the society's proceedings. From all parts of the world sweet pea lovers are now looking to us to solve questions of nomenclature and priority, the bracketing of too much alike varieties, the deletion of old and use- less sweet peas and the careful distribu- tion of awards to the finest varieties. The following are the total awards to new' varieties for 1909: First-class certificate and silver medal to George Stark, from G. Stark & Son, Great Ey- burgh; first-class certificate to Mrs. An- drew Ireland, from Dobbie & Co., Eothe- say and Marks Tey; first-class certificate to Mrs. Henry Bell, from Eobert Bolton, Carnforth; award of merit to Constance Oliver, from W. Lumley, Havant, and award of merit to Paradise Ivory, from Miss Hemus, Upton-on-Severn. The society has now about 800 mem- bers and fifty-one different affiliated so- cieties. The London exhibition of 1909 has been fixed for July 23, and the pro- vincial show at Saltaire, Yorkshire, for July 13. W. Atlee Burpee & Co. and C. C. Morse & Co. are again offering val- uable prizes for competition. The sweet pea annual is in course of preparation, and among numerous con- tributions may be noted "Applied Men- delism, " by W. Cuthbertson ; ' ' American Notes," by S. B. Dicks; "Sweet Peas in Essex, " by E. W. King, and ' ' A New Color Classification," by G. W. Leak. Horace J. Wright was elected chair- man of the committee at the annual meeting, and the enthusiasm he has mani- fested in the society since its inception will have still greater scope in 1909. Bee. HOLLAND BULBS. In spite of the numerous reports of Lilium lancifolium album being short in Holland, judging by the offers of bulbs received in England, there does not ap- pear to be much shortage, or else there is less demand now for this article. 1 never remember to have seen so many offers of this article at this time of the year from Holland, and at such a low price, but doubtless the whole stock for ilisposal will be eagerly snapped up by market growers. It is now pretty gen- erally thought that best grade Dutch growfa are superior to any imported from Japan. Generally speaking, such articles as forcing tulips and narcissi have cleared up well in Holland and the growers have little to complain of in the disposal of their stocks of these. Hyacinths, as usual these last few years, have consid- erably hung back again this season and a surplus is left on hand.

Black, of Independence, la., read before tbe Minnesota State Hortlcultoral Society.] The desire for cheapness is the great- est hindrance to improvement in garden seeds. Our best radish, lettuce, spinach, etc., are those which remain good long- est and produce only a small quantity of seeds. It costs more to produce a pound of this seed and it is worth more to the planter than .many pounds of ordi- nary seed. The same rule will apply to the tomato, cucumber, and in fact nearly all vegetables except those of which the seeds are the edible part. Judicious selection, thorough cultiva- tion and favorable location all have a tendency toward improvement and are the most potent agencies we can employ for this purpose. First Lessons in Selection. I learned my first lesson in seed grow- ing nearly fifty years ago as I toddled through the garden after my mother while she placed stakes beside the best ' radishes, lettuce plants, etc., and cau- tioned me not to disturb them. She explained as best she could to my young mind that our hopes for fine vegetables in the future depended upon the seeds which these best specimens would pro- duce. That garden had been planted with seeds brought from Ohio to the wild west, as Iowa was known at that time. Store seeds could not be obtained. It requires much experience and good judgment in making selections, as we have such a wide range of variations to select from. We can safely assert that no two plants are exactly alike in all their parts. The seeds of commerce are not produced in this way, because they would be too expensive. They are mostly grown from what is known as stock seed. During a number of years we grew several acres of tomatoes to produce seeds for other firms. Our first crop was planted from stock seed bought at a high price from Livingston, the tomato specialist. We saved seeds from a few plants which were most productive, and produced .to- matoes which came nearest to our ideal of perfection in tomatoes, but always keeping in mind trueness to type of that particular variety. This is what we call stock seed and use for the production of future crops of seeds, which will be an improvement if sufficient judgment and care have been exercised in selection. The main crop, after carefully removing all rogues or plants which show a radical departure from the variety, is harvested and the quality of this seed depends upon the thoroughness of this roguing. I believe that more improvement can be made by careful selection than by hand pollination for the production of new varieties. After the cross is made it requires several generations to estab- lish the type. Most of the novelties that are introduced each season with much praise and price are soon dropped, while flome of the old standard varieties, which DREER'S Reliable New Crop Flower Seeds AKeratum Our Wholesale and Retail Catalogues for 1909 have been mailed to all our Florist Customers.

Great quantities of tomato seed are saved at catsup and canning factories. Many large melon growers save the seeds from their culls and small melons. Much cabbage, turnip, beet, carrot and other seeds are produced in mild climates, where it is not necessary to remove the roots from the ground for winter protec- tion, and consequently they cannot be carefully selected. Even large crops of radish seeds are grown without trans- planting. These seeds are furnished to dealers very cheaply, and certainly show no im- provement. In the breeding and improve- ment of plants we must work along the same lines as practiced by our breeders of thoroughbred animals. They do not stop after selecting and breeding, but continue with careful attention and good feeding, knowing that without these es- sentials but little progress can be made. It is not necessary to produce argu- ment that varieties are improved by culti- vation, because it is a well-known fact that our vegetables were in their original wild state almost worthless weeds. Most of us have noticed how soon they will degenerate and revert if permitted to be self-sown and to grow without cultivation for a few years. The radish will become somewhat like the charlock, or wild mus- tard, which is its near relative. It is a common belief that the parsnip will be- come poisonous, although this idea is con- tradicted by some eminent physicians. Sources of Best Seeds. Some years ago we firmly believed that seeds grown in any certain locality were best adapted to that place, or, in other words, we believed in home-grown seeds. We had printed in large type on tbe labels of the cases of seeds that we placed in the stores to be sold on com- mission these words, "Black's garden seeds are nearly all grown in Buchanan county, Iowa. ' ' We succeeded in grow- ing nearly all kinds, but many of them without profit. After some years of experience, we have modified our belief to some extent and now think that seeds grown where the vegetable will reach its highest state of perfection are best, with few excep- tions. Our best cauliflower seed is grown near Puget Sound, Wash.; early cabbage seed on Long Island, New York; late cabbage seed in Holland, and radish in France. We believe that tomato, cucum- ber, squash and most vine seeds that are grown in Iowa are as good as the best.

Early sweet corn grown in Kansas for a few seasons will not be as early as that grown in Minnesota. Sugar beet seed should be grown in localities which pro- duce beets containing the greatest per cent of sugar. Growers on Muscatine Island produce melons from water-washed sand and rank fertilizers. These melons lack quality, because the soil does not contain the elements necessary to pro- duce sweetness and good flavor. These conditions are not favorable for the im- provement of melon seeds.

Kisses came high, mistletoe selUng at 30 cents a pound. Evergreen trimming, according to quality, was 15 cents to $1.25 for twenty yards. .

Outside the ther- mometer stood at about 40 degrees December 24 and 25, and plants required but little wrapping. Various Notes. James P. Keller says sales were twenty-five per cent better than last year, in both cut flowers and plants. He also reports having had a good run on holly and other green goods for decorating and cemetery use. Honaker and the Michler Bros. Oo. had good poinsettias in pots and pans. Anderson & White did a good business in plants. They were also busy with church and house decorations. J. Ferdinand Keller, manager of the J. A. Keller greenhouses, on E^st Sixth street, had a good cut of roses and car- nations for the holidays. Mr. Keller says he is cutting several thousands every week at present. . Frank McMullen's stock is looking fine at present. He has 5,000 or 6,00U geraniums coming along nicely. Lucien Leclere says Christmas sales •were better with him than he expected at the greenhouses. He says he will now get busy for Easter. There was a faker on Main street selling holly wreaths at. 5 cents and 10 cents each, but he didn't cut any ice with the florists. August I^eclere had some decorating at the asylum on Fourth street that was very pretty. ' . Blue Grass. SYRACUSE. Mrs. L. E. Marquisee has disposed of the stock and greenhouses of her husband, the late L. E. Marquisee, Harry and James Bellamy being the purchasers. They were both employees for many years, the former having ch^ge of the carnations and hybridizing, and the latter acting as propagator and chrysanthemum grower. They are thoroughly up-to-date florists and have won the confidence and respect of all in the trade ajid outside with whom ttey have come in contact. They will continue the business at the present place tUl July 1, and will soon decide upon a permanent location, so they can start building at an early date. Orders for the new white carnation.

Well, Christmas of 1908 is a thing of the past; all that remains is the telling of it, and there really is something to tell, when one considers that trade has been off for over a year. Every shop was filled with the choicest in blooming plants, arranged in the uost fascinating pots, pans and baskets; in fact, the retailers did as they promised, made plants the feature for Christmas, and the result was that more were sold than the wisest of them hoped for; near- ly everyone was cleaned out. This of course had its effect on the cut flower trade, but there were those, as usual, who want- ed cut flowers and bought them. "While reports from the retailers were to the effect that flower sales were slower than usual, it is likely that they will compare favorably with other years. The weather December 24 was warm and pleasant, which made delivery of plants easy, but toward evening rain get in, which cut out much of the evening shopping. Greens did well in spots. There was more holly the last two days than the market would stand, and prices fell as low as 50 cents to $1 per case for good, well-berried holly. There was a shortage of trees, and prices were doubled every hour toward the last, until they got to breaking off the branches and selling them at 25 cents each. Among the wholesale houses there seemed to be the happiest kind of condi- tions; lots of business and plenty of stock to take care of it. One could get anything asked for in any quantity de- sired. Beauties, violets, valley, roses of all kinds, even Richmonds (cut pfetty tight) and carnations to no end — no one was refused anything, yet all report being cleaned up fairly well by Christmas morning. The Ehinebeck violets which were due Christmas morning caused some disap- pointment and loss by missing connec- tions and not getting in until Christmas trade was entirely over, and so were no doubt a total loss to the shippers. One thing which seemed queer was to see a local carnation grower floating around among the commission men try- ing to get some one to take his stock, but all seemed to have as much as they could dispose of, and could offer no en- couragement to the grower. Did this ever occur before two days before Christ- mas? Carnations seem to have received a black eye, for inquiry among the retailers brings reports that they are unable to keep carnations more than a day, and some varieties not that long, and for that reason the public is buying other flowers. It should be of interest to the growers to take this matter under con- sideration at once and find out the trouble, whether it is the varieties, the method of growing, or just simply be- cause they have been made so common Newman Floral Co.

PACIFIC COAST. SAN FRANCISCO. TheMuket "We are in the midst of another Christmas, and although it is rather too soon to give a complete summary of the business done in the stores, observations made during the last two days and the latest accounts at hand show that we quite equaled the volume of one year ago. It must be borne in mind, however, that last year was not as prosperous as the year previous. The weather has been unusually good for buyers. We have had no rain for several weeks and every- thing favored the crowds who thronged the shops and streets. The nights are cold and frosty, but the days are bright and warm. Everyone appears to have the idea, also, that next year will be a banner one. Again, reports from the interior towns show that conditions in the farming and fruit growing localities are prosperous, and this has induced out-of-town dealers to order heavily from the local whole- salers. All thiDgs taken into consider- ation, I think it is safe to say that the volume of business was fully up to that of last year. The general effect of the few weeks of frost on the growing stock has been to shorten greatly outside flowers, but the continued sunshine has also had the ef- fect of making inside stock plentiful enough to go around. The greatest dif- ficulty found by the retailers has been to get enough roses to satisfy demands. American Beauties were so scarce that many of the retailers refused to accept orders for them. Brides and Maids were in fair supply, with a shortage of extra long stemmed stock. In carnations the supply was about equal to the demand. The prices charged to the retailers ranged from $4 to $6 per hundred. The latter price is an advance of fifty per cent over that of last week, but the de- mand was good for everything. Poinsettias from the southern Cali- fornia growers were disappointing to the trade here. They were almost a failure in the open in the neighborhood of Los Angeles, although a few thousand good flowers were received from the neighbor- hood of San Diego. Poinsettias in pots and pans sold well. One firm in Alameda county sent over 2,000 in 6-inch pots. These cost the stores from $6 to $9 per dozen. Smaller plants were massed in pans, from half a dozen to one dozen being planted in each. There was but a scant showing of other kinds of flowering plants. None of the growers had any azaleas to offer. Some well grown cyclamens in pots and Chinese primulas in pots and pans, together with Boman hyacinths in various shapes, helped to fill the windows. Palms did not sell as well as usual this season, apparently. Kentias moved very slowly, especially the larger sizes. Nephrolepis Whitmani was by far the best selling pot plant in San Francisco. Planted in pots, pans and baskets in va- rious sizes, this fern made a very accept- able present in place of some expensive article of jewelry which would probably have been sent had times in general been better. Large hanging baskets of Asparagus Sprengeri were in great favor with the Largest stock of up-to-date varieties ever grown in Loomis. Remember, we grow plants only for the cuttingrB.

Lorraine begonias moved well, and were it not for the fact that we are in the midst of such a cold snap, they would be easier for the retailers to handle. They were entirely sold out, however. Imported English holly was scarce again, as usual. Apparently the col- lectors in British Columbia and Wash- ington have been cutting it too closely in the past, and on this account quite a bit of poor holly was shown. Some of it showed the results of being cut too long, and the leaves dropped as soon as it was taken from the barrels. California red berries, owing to the heavy frosts in the mountains, were some- what scarcer than usual, and the price rose from $50 per ton a week before Christmas to $75 and $80 per ton a few THE SEED HOUSE OF THE GREAT SOUTHWEST 1909 Seed Catalog We are now mailing: 45,000 copies of the most complete Manual of Oarden, Field, Flower and Tree Seeds, Nursery Stock, Eucalyptufi.

Twenty-five cents per bunch was the price asked the public In the stores for small bunches, and they sold rapidly. There was quite a scarcity of maiden- hair fern and asparagus, which was very noticeable in the' stores the day before Christmas, and many dealers had to use cheaper kinds of fern in decorative work. Outside of the Christmas business, there was a heavy funeral trade for the entire week. This used up all the avail- able white stock and the florists who had to contend with this in addition to the season's holiday trade had their hands more than full. G. UNSLAKED LIME ON ROSE BEDS. Can you tell me if it is right to put unslaked lime on rose beds? I am located in California and my soil seems to be somewhat soggy, with lots of worms in it. My beds are 12x70. Some of them have roses in them and some are empty. The empty ones have been lying in that condition for about six months. Now, I would like to know how much lime I should put on a bed and whether I can put it on beds with roses planted in them. 1 used to grow rose plants eighteen to twenty-four inches in a sea- son, but now they do not seem to move along. I do not grow them for cut flowers, but grow them in the fleld to make heavy stock for retail trade. E. G. T. We presume K. G. T. refers in his query entirely to roses grown outside, for re- tailing as pot plants or naked roots in the winter. To successfully grow such a heavy feeding article as the rose is, the ground should be changed every two years at least, if it is confined in a bed. If in the open, the drainage should be the first item attended to, in which event it can- not easily become sour or soggy. If the drainage is suflBcient, the char- acter of the soil should next be inquired into. Boses delight in thick, heavy ground, well enriched. We have plenty of this in most places in California, and ordinary barnyard manure, or even sand, is all that is necessary to keep it from packing so hard that the tiny roots of the roses cannot penetrate it. But if it is not changed every two or three years, the problem of successful growing by artificial enrichments then becomes im- portant. First of all, I again call atten- tion to the drainage. If this is attended to, so that the surplus water does not settle around the roots, then look at the soil itself. Anything except heavy, black virgin soil will have to be fertilized if the grower would have a healthy plant for his trouble. The use of unslaked lime has long been advocated for just such conditions, especially where there is an excess of moisture. The lime should be fresh and should be used at the rate of a bushel to about 200 square feet. Do not allow it to lie on the surface auy longer than necessary, as it quickly absorbs carbonic acid gas from the air and its virtue is then lost. It is a good plan to mix it with manure before spading it into the ground, as each seems to augment the qualities of the other. It is a good idea to allow rose beds to rest a while ; that is, to spade them up and allow the ground to stand a few months before it is replanted. Then, with a second spading and a good dosing We are Pacific Coast Headquarters for Quantity and Quality The old Baying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," will cut no figure with you if you order your plants from us, because your plants WILL grow.

The cutting of small trees for Christmas is not there considered in the least as a menace to the forest, but, on the con- trary, as a means of improving the forest by thinning and as a source of revenue. It is therefore constantly encouraged. There is little doubt but that the time will come when the Christmas tree busi- ness will become a recognized industry in this country, and that as much atten- tion will be given to it as will be given to the growing of crops of timber for other uses. This time may not be far off, for quite a number of nurseries now engage in the business of supplying the demand for Christmas trees of the better class, and it is already understood that only through the practice of forestry, which means both the conservation of the LARGE TREES OAKS AND MAPLES.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS. Their Value to Vegetable Forcers. Plant food is can all learn so much experience have had. It greenhouse men of fertilizers, but in reality confused. a subject upon which we mething, no matter how with fertilizers one may is surprising how few are posted on the use They pretend to know, their understanding is Only a few days ago I asked an old gardener if he ever used any potash — muriate or sulphate — in his greenhouses. He said no, that he generally used bone meal for a feeding when the crops were pretty well along, and liked it better than potash. This seems amusing to one who has any idea of the ingredients of fertilizers and the way they act on vegetation, but we cannot blame the growers altogether. So much has been written on the subject that nearly every paper you pick up has some item about plant food, and all are like chapters of a continued story, so that if you did not happen to read them all from the start they are of no interest and little can be learned from them by the average, in- experienced man, who must start in with A, B, C before he can jump headlong into the class farther advanced. The Three Essentials. There is one thing that all must thor- oughly understand to start with, and that is, that plants draw from the soil three ingredients, namely, nitrogen, phos- phoric acid and potash. All three are neces- sary to plant growth, and in different proportions for different kinds of plants. Nitrogen makes foliage; phosphoric acid makes blooms and hastens maturity, and potash makes fruit and stalks. All three assist somewhat in helping the growth along in other ways than the chief ones here designated. When the gardener thoroughly understands these facts, then he is ready for more information, but these facts must be the first chapter to memorize and no amount of reading will benefit him until he comprehends these rudiments of fertilization. Plants use other things from the soil, but all others used seem to exist in all soils in inex- haustible quantities. The three men- tioned are the ones which we must sup- ply to the plants or crops. The Proper Proportions. Becent experiments have proven that hothouse vegetables do best with a fer- tilizer containing the following propor- tions: Badishes, three per cent nitro- gen, six per cent phosphoric acid and eight per cent potash; lettuce, six per cent nitrogen, five per cent phosphoric acid and eight per cent potash; cucum- bers, five per cent nitrogen, six per cent phosphoric acid and seven per cent potash. Most animal manures are deficient in phosphoric acid and potash for nearly all crops, and if both are added to the compost heap when mixing, the strength of the food in the soil will be doubled and the proportions will be nearer what the plants require. If the soil is not very rich to start with, it has little food in it when the crop is half matured and must have more food. In case commer- cial fertilizers are used, stop and con- sider what your crop needs and seek a mixture properly balanced for that crop. The fertilizer question is a most im- portant one and cannot be thoroughly covered in this one article, but to the beginner this may give an insight into the subject that will enable him to un- derstand more that he may read on the subject. H. G. BEST TOMATOES FOR FORCING. I should like to know 'which are the best tomatoes for greenhouse culture. Where can I get the seed? B. M. There are several good varieties of tomatoes suitable for forcing. The Comet is considered the leading all-round va- riety by a majority of growers. It is not so early as some other varieties, nor as large as others, but it is a well shaped, medium sized, very prolific va- riety, and does not seem to take the diseases as quickly as some others. We give below a list of the forcing varieties and a description of each: Stirling Castle, early, very small, others better. Sunrise, earliest, smallest, but most prolific. Winter Beauty, early, fair sized, very good. Holmes' Supreme, also early, fair sized, very good. Comet, somewhat later, smooth, medi- um size, rather dwarf and stocky in growth, solid fruit, good keeper and shipper, requires about three or four inches more space than most varieties, very prolific. Frogmore Selected, slightly larger than Comet, fruit rather peach shaped; a trifle later than Comet and will not yield as many pounds per plant, but is generally a favorite wherever grown, on account of its rather peculiar shape and good size. Lorillard Forcing, good size, good shape; not among the earliest, but a good cropper. Sutton's Best of All, very fine, large fruit; not so early or prolific as Comet, but is grown with good success by some growers. There are other varieties, but these are the foremost. The common outdoor va- rieties are not suitable for forcing. They are larger fruited, but do not yield THE cost of labor saved in six months will buy and install a Skinner Sys- tem of Greenhouse Irri- gation. Tk6 Skinner Irrigation Go. TROY, O.

This year the C. Milwaukee, has set mums with Golden ready early in August. The accompany- ing illustration is from a photograph of some blooms cut August 12.

There was plenty of all kinds of stock of really good quality, and reports have it that all orders up to the last were well taken care of. Business was fully as good as last year, with the exception that cut flowers did not soar quite so high in price, this being partially caused by the great quantities of pot plants, which found ready sale, more so than in previous years. The market for holly and other greens turned out better than was anticipated. Various Notes. The Holton & Hunkel Co. was right in with its crop of Beauties and found no trouble in disposing of them at satisfac- tory prices. Shipping trade with them was extra fine for the holidays. The M. A. McKenney Co. reports a fine holiday trade, with special call for poinsettias. Mrs. Ennis, of the Wisconsin Floral Co., at the Caswell block, says that up to a lew days before Christmas trade was slow, but it all came in a rush and they found it a hard task to keep up, for they have a good deal of transient trade, which called mainly for Beauties and violets. They ran short on holly. A short way up Grand avenue, "Will Zimmerman, who has worked up a good trade since embarking in the retail busi- ness five years ago, had to increase his working crew threefold to keep up with the best business he ever had. There was a large demand for pot poinsettias.

RANDALL CO., Wholesale Florists, 19 Randolph Street, CHICAGO . Mention The Review when you write. LONDON, ONT. The florists of this section have every reason to thank the weather man for fa- vorable weather this fall and winter. Never in the memory of the writer have we had such ideal weather for the holi- day trade — just enough frost at night to keep the streets in good condition, with bright, mild days. This made shopping a pleasure, and to these conditions must be attributed in a measure the increased sales, for the streets were thronged from morning until late at night. There is no doubt but the attractive window display made by the stores induced many a pur- chase which, had the weather not been so favorable, would not have been made. Although ample preparations were made for early customers, it was not until Wednesday and Thursday that the busi- ness was done. Each year there is an increased de- mand for plants in preference to cut flowers. This year baskets and other plant arrangements, ranging in price from $2 to $5, were much in demand, while azaleas, poinsettias, cyclamens and other flowering plants found a ready sale. The demand for palms and ferns was limited to a few good specimens. In cut flowers the honors were about equally divided. Roses sold at from $2 to $5 per dozen, carnations at $1 to $3, violets $1.50 per bunch and valley 75 cents per dozen. There was little or no demand for bulb stock. The sales for the week show an increase of over twenty per cent. This we consider a good indi- cation of the reaction of the times. J. Gammage & Sons have during the last few months dismantled and moved to their new place the greater portion of the original plant, comprising 60,000 feet of glass. A new two-story service building, 50x68, and six houses, each 200 feet long, have been erected. Six plant houses, each 200 feet long, will be added as soon as the weather will permit. Webb City, Mo. — Mr. and Mrs. Bren- neman have returned from Arizona, where they had gone in the hope of ben- efiting Mr. Brenneman's hetdth. The journey, however, seems to have been of little avail, as he is now reported to be in a critical condition. A. N.

The Market. Christmas week had ideal weather for some people, but our first real snow storm of the season, December 23, made deliv- ery difficult. It was necessary to wrap blooming stock. Cut stock was scarce, roses and carna- tions particularly so. Some of the stores turned down orders for roses Thursday. Carnation orders were taken condition- ally. There were enough Beauties to go around. Made-up plant baskets sold better than ever before, prices ranging from $5 to $50, the best sellers being at from $5 to $10. Decorated plants sold well. So far as could be learned, business was from twenty-five to fifty per cent better than last year. Various Notes. Mayberry & Hoover had all they could do. Christmas afternoon found a big delivery waiting for the wagons to get back and load up. J. A. Phillips reports a fine business in both cut stock and plants. Vernon Ley, at the new store, had all he could do. W. W. Kimmell did a fine business at the store and with his trees. George Shaffer says he never handled so much stock. Z. D. Blackistone had a big trade. Mache & Co. did fine. J. H. Small & Sons worked right up to the handle all the way through. Gude Bros. Co. says the Christmas was the best ever. F. H. Kramer says he never worked so hard. The green moss wreaths did not sell so well this year, the weather not per- mitting people to go to the cemetery. The market florists say sales were better than last year. Most of the stores had automobiles for delivery and found them a big help. Never was there so much mistletoe dumped on the market. Gude Bros. Co. had the Drape ball Christmas eve. This called for three wagon loads of holly and five barrels of mistletoe. On the same evening they had the Clover ball, where holly and mistle- toe were used with poinsettias. Word was received last week that J. J. Harty, who left here some weeks ago, is in England on his way to South Africa. George Cooke had to take the time, December 25, to decorate the ball room at Bauscher's for a coming-out tea.

Christmas trade was far better than last year, with prices about the same. There was a good supply of roses, enough to go around. Carnations were rather scarce and brought good prices. The de- mand for Beauties was limited. Violets were in good demand and were all sold out early. Paper whites were plentiful and the demand for them was rather light; most of them were used in mixed boxes. There was a good supply of valley and lilies, with demand rather light. The sale for poinsettias, both cut and in pans, was heavy, and there were not enough to go around, even though there were a great many more grown than in previous years. Cyclamens and Lorraine begonias sold well and there was a good supply of both on hand. Azaleas were at a pre- mium. There was a nice lot in the mar- ket, but not nearly enough to fill all wants. Made-up baskets sold well and brought good prices. The demand for pot plants and baskets is on the increase from year to year. There was a glut of holly and trees, as several cars came in late and were of no use. There was some good holly, but the bulk of it was far below par. There were enough holly and trees left to make a gopd, sharp sting for someone. Various Notes. Gus Ackerman reports a heavy trade on holly and wreaths, of which he makes a specialty. E. Metzmaier had a fine crop of carna- tions, just right for Christmas, and said he cleaned out everything in the way of flowers. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had a fine lot of azaleas, begonias, cyclamens and poinsettias, which found a ready sale. The Munk Floral Co. reports a good Christmas trade. J. M. Beaumont, Tex. — The present mem- bers of the Beaumont Floral Co., who purchased the business a year ago, have reason to be well satisfied with what has been accomplished since then. They have erected a mum house, 30x100, and a boiler room and potting shed. They have also built a 50-foot propagating house and have it well filled at the pres- ent time.

L Current Comment* At the last monthly meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Khode Island the principal business was in con- nection with arrangements for the an- nual supper of the club, which will be held the third Monday evening in Jan- uary, and for the carrying out of whidh a committee consisting of President Alex Macrae, Secretary William Chappell, James Hockey and "William Appleton was appointed. On this occasion the recently elected officers will occupy their respect- ive stations for the first time. After the transaction of business the club discussed the metallizing of roses, carnations and other flowers. It was the consensus of opinion that while as a fad these novel- ties might have a longer or shorter run and be ornamental in millinery, they would be of no practical benefit to the florists. The Christmas trade was generally good. Potted plants were rather dis- appointing in the downtown stores, al- though among the houses away from the center of the city little trouble was found in disposing of good stock. The sale of greens of all kinds exceeded any previous year, box holding the lead. Jonas Brook, of the Summit Green- houses, Woonsocket, reports a big Christ- mas trade on potted plants, ferns and palms. The T. F. Keller Floral Co. opened to a big business in its new store and reaped a harvest on the holiday trade. J. Kopelman & Co. had one of the busiest places in town the two or three days preceding Christmas. James A. Budlong 2d, of Cranston, has purchased a new thirty horse-power Oldsmobile runabout. O'Connor has had all he could attend to with decorations for teas, receptions and other social functions. He has a number of large affairs during the next few weeks. Many handsome floral designs were seen at the funeral of Councilman J. William Moore, to which nearly all of the downtown stores contributed. Frank Schellinger, of J. F. Schellinger & Son, Riverside, is spending a few days in New York. William Appleton had the decorations for two large weddings in the Elmwood district last week. C. H. Hunt handled nearly a thousand small ferns, palms and rubbers for the Christmas trade, largely in the South Providence section. John Macrae is bringing in some of the finest carnations of the season.

The white watsonia has not been taken up by florists as rapidly as its merits warrant. Here is a foreign dealer's opinion of the plant: "Watsonia Ardernei alba is strongly recommended to practical, high-class florists for wreath and bouquet work; the choicest flower for best work; the purest white flower in cultivation; as easily grown as a gladiolus, lasts fresh for a long time after cutting. Bulbs potted can be had in flower for a long period; a perfect gem for florists, quite superseding the single white azalea for cut flower work; requires little attention and is easily flowered, yet commands the highest market prices, and the demand for cut spikes is always greater than the supply. Another important point is that the bulbs grow and increase well. The beautiful snow-white flower, purer than the purest, strongly appeals to large cut flower growers, and the American, Bel- gian, Dutch, south of France and Chan- nel Island growers should give this valu- able acquisition a liberal and careful trial. All our clients who bought a few bulbs to try last year have ordered a larger stock this season. All florists who cut for orders as required should un- doubtedly have a supply." Dr. Van Fleet, who tests a great variety of plants at the farm of the Rural New-Yorker, says he can indorse all this. WatsOnias should generally be treated as greenhouse bulbs in the colder parts of this country, as they naturally start to grow xa. October, and can seldom be kept out of the soil over winter without loss of vitality. The corms are large, much resembling those of the gladiolus, and only need be potted in clean, loamy soil in autumn, placing two in a 6-inch, or three in a 7-inch pot. Free drainage is necessary, though watsonias require considerable moisture while in growth. An average temperature of 55 degrees suits them well, developing strong, healthy foliage and vigorous flower spikes. The latter generally appear in March, but may to some extent be ad- "REV ERO" THE INDESTRUCTIBLE HOSE MOULDED-SEAMLESS CONSTRUCTION NEW YORK MINNEAPOLIS The above Illufttrates the Non- Kinking Feature oi Revero as Com- pared with the Old Style "Wrapped Duck Construction, Your Supply Man Can Fumbh It REVERE RUBBER CO.

A good spike may have as many as fifty blooms, about half of which are borne on side spikes or branchlets, coming out after the main spike has nearly ceased. The flowers are two inches across, trumpet- shaped and gracefully formed. They are the purest white in color of any blooms we know. They keep well and are ex- ceedingly valuable for florists' uses. After blooming the plants should be grown on until May, when the balls may be turned out of the pots and plunged in soil outside to ripen. The corms in- crease by division, and may be forced for many successive years. Norwich, Conn. — Charles T. Bea's- ley, gardener for Mrs. \Vm. C.

PIPES LEAKING. Can you tell us why our system of piping leaks? We have hot water and 4-ineh boiler tubing for flow and return, with cast-iron fittings and calked joints calked with oakum and lead. After one season's firing they leaked badly at the joints, so we took them out and had them calked over again and they remained per- fectly tight until after we began to fire heavily, and then, after the water would cool during the day, they would leak badly. But when the water is again warmed up to the night temperature they will stop until cooled off, when they leak as badly as ever. It must be in the expansion, some way, but we thought this method was used a great deal in green- house heating. Can you tell us where the trouble is? We have noticed your valuable advice to others. E. & B. With thoroughly packed joints, such trouble as you have experienced should not occur. If this trouble persists, I would suggest packing the sleeve about one-third full of oakum and then packing the rest of the distance with a rust-joint paste, such as the following: Sal am- moniac, 2 oz. ; iron filings, 8 lbs., and suflScient water to render it workable. Or, iron filings, 4 lbs.; pipe clay, 2 lbs.; powdered potsherds, 11 lbs., made into a paste by using strong brine. L. C. C. YOKING BOILERS. We have two sectional boilers of nine sections each, one of which is now run- ning two ranges. The boilers are in same cellar, and No. 1, now in operation, has four flow pipes, two for each range, and two return pipes. No. 2, about six feet to one side of No. 1, has two flow and one return connection. Please state how the boilers should be connected so that both, or cither of the ranges, can be run by cither or both boilers. S. B. S. I hesitate to make any suggestions in this case, as no idea of the present pip- ing is suggested. It may be a, simple matter to throw al! the flow pipes into one main riser, but if independent risers are carried from each boiler, opening to different houses or sections of the plant, a very different mode of procedure woulU be necessary.

Stapp, of Rock Island, was a busy place Thursday and on Christmas morning, getting out the many orders that had been received previously. The weather being good and other ' conditions also good, Mr. Stapp was well stocked in roses, carnations, hyacinths and azaleas, which were all disposed of. The demand was greater than the supply, the goods being mostly disposed of in the Tri- Cities. Henry Gaethje, of Rock Island, reports a fine business, both in cut flowers and blooming plants, with prices good. Rumor also has it that he will again be made happy on New Year's eve, when Mr. and Mrs. Gaethje 's only daughter, Anna, is to be married — the second wed- ding in the family within a year, Henry Gaethje, Jr., having been married during the summer. William Knees, of Moline, says he had a fine Christmas business, disposing of everything he had at good prices. He had an especially fine lot of poinsettias, which sold like hot cakes. Julius Staack & Sons, of Moline, re- port an exceptionally fine Christmas trade, especially in blooming plants, such as azaleas, begonias, poinsettias, etc. The Bills Floral Co., of Davenport, re- ports having a better trade than last year, with prices equally good.

Temple, of Davenport, says Christmas business was fine. Henry Pauli, of Davenport, claims his business was double that of last year. He had a fine lot of azaleas, poinsettias, Easter lilies, etc., and sold them out. Cut flowers, also, sold well, with prices from 75 cents to $1.50 for carnations, and $1.50 to $2 for roses. Ewoldt Bros., of Davenport, also re- port a most prosperous Christmas trade. They disposed of 2,000 white chrysanthe- mums, which heretofore have not been available at Christmas, besides the usual cut flowers and blooming plants. They also say that in about ten days they will have some more mums in bloom, not o}^ft as yet. Forber & Bird, of Davenport, have no u The Weekly Florists' Review. Deckmbkk 31, 1908. complaints to make of the Christmas business. They say everything sold at fairly good prices, and up to the standard in every sense, if not somewhat better. The last Tri-City' Florists' Club meet- ing was held at the residence of Julius Staack, Sr., of Moline, November 10. At Mr. Staack's greenhouses everything was found in apple-pie order for the holiday trade. The next meeting of the club will be held at the Davenport Outing Club rooms, Davenport, December 14. A cor- dial invitation is extended to all florists who happen to be in the city at the time. H. M. ONCINNATL The Market Never have I been able to report a more satisfactory Christmas business. No matter the angle from which you look at it, the result is the same. The volume of business Avas far in excess of any other Christmas, and there never before was a holiday when there were so many flow- ers; in fact, so many that nearly every order could be filled in full and with just what the buyer wanted. Another thing which looks well for the business is that prices have never been higher. With all of these things taken into consideration, it is easy to see that the general verdict that this was the greatest Christmas business ever is not only cor- rect, but that it hardly expresses the gen- eral satisfaction. Even now, with the Christmas rush over, several of our best retailers are busy with large decorations for holiday entertainments, and all stock coming in is sold out at prices not so far below the Christmas high mark. In the wholesale district, C. E. Critch- ell was working day and night and is well satisfied ; L. H. Kirk says that busi- ness was at least double what he did last year; Wciland & dinger handled a fine lot of stock and hit it especially right on Beauties; Wm. Murphy was well sup- plied with carnations, which brought the • highest price ever, and also did a good business in holiday greens; the Ohio Cut Flower Co. had a fine lot of mums that sold well, and Gillett & Ohmer report a satisfactory increase. In the retail district the reports are equally good. Hardesty & Co. had a rattling business. Julius Baer reports by far the most satisfactory business he ever had. E. A. Kelly & Co. and the Bletcher Floral Co. had all they could do. A. Sunderbruch 's Sons are always there when there is business on, and are well satisfied. The Over-the-Ehine flo- rists were equally pleased. George Tro- mey and Fred Gear both report a fine business, as well as do Otto Walke and Wm. H. Gear. J. O'Malley was highly pleased and Coulthard & Pogue, whose store was decorated in fine style, report business over double that of last year. They did a large business in potted Christmas trees. Of the hill florists, the Walnut Hills Floral Bazaar were rushed as never before. George & Allan report a fine trade. The Avondale Floral Co. and Edith Kyrk handled large quantities of high grade stock. J. A. Peterson says his plant trade reached a high mark this year. The report from the growers throughout this section of the country is the same. They all sold out clean and at good prices.

It is too early at this writing to sum up exactly the results of the Christmas trade here, but it is quite certain that the weather, for unruliness and untoward conditions previous to and during the week of December 21, was the worst brand dispensed by the weather bureau. For nearly three weeks it has been cloudy, with heavy fogs and only a glimpse of sunshine for an hour or two. On Tuesday, December 22, we were vis- ited with a heavy snow storm with se- verely cold weather, which paralyzed traffic. The snow measured twelve inches in depth. This crippled the market, as the snow was piled four feet high around the market stands, and put a damper on cemetery trade. Slippery pavements and cold blasts of wind combined to the dis- comfort of those whom business, pleasure or duty compelled to go on the street. Notwithstanding, there seems to have been a fairly good business done. Naturally flowers were scarce. This is expected for some days before the holi- days, many growers holding on till the last moments in the expectation of bet- ter prices. Tuesday the market was practically bare of carnations. Roses, which are not so easily held back, were scarce by reason of unfavorable weather. The Baltimore Florists' Exchange did a business considerably in excess in vol- ume of any preceding Christmas season. Manager J. J. Perry had an extra force of efficient helpers and the transactions of the day were smoothly and expeditious- ly forwarded, including considerable shipments to out-of-town customers. By the closing hour nearly everything was cleaned up. Pot plants were in heavy de- mand, especially ferns, poinsettias and cyclamens, of which there were heavy shipments. A curious feature of the occasion was the revived trade in violets. For several years the demand for these has been light at this season, whether due to their scarcity or the high prices at which they were held. But this year, as by one con- sent, everybody wanted Christmas violets and good ones were hard to find. There was an oversupply of holly and mistletoe. The finest holly could have been bought at $1 per crate and mistle- toe at $1 per barrel, and hundreds of crates and barrels were never removed from the wholesale houses. Q. Waukegan, III. — Theo.

The Course at Amherst. In a paper by Charles N. Page, of Des Moines, read before the Society of Iowa Florists December 9, 1908, that appears in the Review of December 17, the fol- lowing statement occurs: "During the past A^ear I have corre- sponded with most/of the agricultural ■colleges in the Umted States, but I find that none of them is prepared to train a young man in commercial floriculture. Although the Missouri Botanical Gar- ■den and the Illinois Agricultural College have courses which would be of consider- able benefit, they are far from com- plete." Two years ago the Horticultural De- partment at Massachusetts Agricultural College was reorganized and a horticul- tural division was formed. This division is composed of independent departments of pomology, floriculture, landscape gar- dening and market gardening. The flori- cultural course aims to give instruction in strictly commercial floriculture. As at present organized, there are given in the first three years of the course those subjects upon which the foundations of floriculture are based; namely, botany, bacteriology, entomology, soils, fertiliz- ■ers, plant propagation, the propagation and care of trees and shrubs, general hor- ticulture, and market gardening, together with other subjects, such as mathematics, history, English, and some of the other languages. In the senior year the course becomes more scientific, practical and technical. The first half-year is largely taken up in the consideration of details of green- house design and construction, green- house equipment, such as types of benches, beds, ventilators, and the like, also greenhouse heating. In the last half-year the time is wholly occupied in the stiidy of cultural methods of commer- cial florists ' crops, methods of market- ing, design work and decorating. A student may receive instruction in any of the subjects suggested by Mr. Page. The course is so. planned that the student de- votes much time to the details of growing plants by practical greenhouse work, in addition to the lectures of the class room. Observation trips to commercial estab- lishments are taken from time to time, and on each of these trips the student is provided with a written syllabus, in which is noted the special features he is to observe. A written report of the trip is required at a later date. This year thirteen seniors are taking the course, six of whom intend to take up commercial floriculture. The remaining seven are taking the course in preparation for work in landscape gardening, or in the man- agement of private estates. It is ex- pected that with the new equipment the number of men electing this course will increase rapidly. The requirements for admission to this course are based upon the studies cov- ered in the high school courses of Massa- chusetts high schools. In other words, the high schools are the training schools for the agricultural colleges. The Short Course. To provide for a class of young men who have not had the advantages of a high school education, a short course in floriculture has been started this year. This course covers ten weeks. It began January 5 and closes March 10. The only requirements for entrance to this course were that the individual be at least 18 years of age and of a good moral char- acter. Tuition is free and board and room rent reasonable. Immediately upon its announcement the registration for this course reached the capacity of the teaching equipment and a number who wished the course could not be accom- modated. The aim of the course is to give, as thoroughly as the limited time will permit, the principles of greenhouse construction and management essential for success in commercial floriculture. No attempt is made to develop experts in the growth of greenhouse crops. Such expertness comes only after years of practical experience in growing some in- dividual crop. It is hoped, however, tiiat those taking the course may find their lives broadened and their capacity for intelligent work increased by these few weeks of study. The men taking the short course in floriculture are required also to take the lectures given in soils, fertilizers, insects and diseases of greenhouse crops. Aside from the daily lectures of the course, talks will be given each week by experts on special subjects. The men secured for the course this year have been emi- nently successful in the various subjects on which they are to speak, and the col- lege is to be congratulated on the hearty cooperation these men have given the work. Facilities for Instruction. The facilities for giving instruction along this line will not be surpassed by any institution in the United States when the new range of greenhouses, and the new instruction building, for the depart- ments of floriculture and market garden- ing are completed. This will be about March 1, 1909. The legislature of 1908 made an appropriation of $34,000 for the erection of a commercial greenhou^ range and an attached teaching building. This instruction building is a substantial, two-story brick structure of pleasing architecture, and contains, above the basement, three class rooms, a large lab- oratory, two offices, a coat room, jan- itor's room and a work room. In the basement are soil rooms, a cool room for bulbs, storage rooms and lavatories. Ad- joining this building on the east is a palm house, the dimensions of which are 25x42 feet. This house is strictly com- mercial in type and is intended for the propagation and growth of commercial varieties of palms. Adjoining the palm house is a small house for orchids and an- other for ferns. A students' house 26x50 feet joins the orchid house on the east, and from the east end of the students' house an alley twelve feet wide and 116 feet long runs directly south. Extending east and west from this alley there are a violet house, cucumber house, tomato house, rose house and a carnation house, the dimensions of each house being 24x50 feet. The alley house will be used for propagation and for growing general plants. The contractors for this range were Lord & Burnham Co., New York. The range consists of four two-thirds- span houses and three even-span houses, and with the connecting houses all are •-^•. ^**1?:^*' New Range of Greenhouses and Instruction Building for Floriculture at Massachusetts Agricultural College. t iA ..^^fsr^ The Weekly Florists^ Review. Jandaht 7, 1909. built on concrete foundations. Three of these houses are iron frame and the re- mainder are of the half -iron frame type of construction. The houses are heated by steam from the* central heating plant of the college. In courses of instruction along all lines there is more or less criticism and in floriculture the chief criticism seems to come from the practical men. It is to the effect that the courses are not up-to- date. The agricultural colleges need the hearty cooperation and assistance of the practical men in keeping their courses up-to-date and a closer affiliation will be advantageous to both. Suggestions of methods for strengthening the courses are always welcome and the views of the work from men engaged in it are appre- ciated. It is the aim of the floricultural department of Massachusetts Agricul- tural College to keep closely in touch with the practical interests and to offer a course that will train men along all lines of floriculture.

The event of the season at Washing- ton was the debutante ball for Miss Ethel Eoosevelt, the President's daugh- ter, Monday, December 28, at the White House. The reception took place in the East room. Miss Boosevelt stood in front of a solid wall of flowers. The bouquets were all arranged on a specially made rack. There were hundreds of bunches of all kinds and descriptions. Some were huge bunches of cattleyas, orchids and valley; there were great arm showers, showers of Maids, shower ef- fects with Killamey, bunches of My Maryland with blooms as large as Beau- ties, and long-stemmed American Beau- ties. This wonderful display of debutante bouquets represented every known style and arrangement of flowers, by the best men in the trade, and it was a sight never to be forgotten. The palms and deco- rative plants were furnished by the Agri- cultural Department. For the supper, fifty-two tables had artistic vases of En- chantress carnations and maidenhair fern. The gentlemen had boutonniereis of white carnations and the ladies as favors car- ried 8-inch balls of pink carnations, which hung from the arm by a loop and bow of green ribbon. These, hanging from the arms of all the ladies dancing, produced a fine and novel effect. Mr. Oliver, the White House decorator, with a corps of assistants from the Ag- ricultural Department, arranged the tables and made the favors. All the lead- ing stores had a share of the bunches, quite a few coming from out of town. O. A. C. O. THE BROKEN COLUMN.

Prices averaged good. Enid, Okla. — The Cowan Floral Gar- dens say Christmas trade was twice as large as in 1907 and three times as great as in 1906. Everything sold. The trade is growing rapidly here, but the made-up plant arrangements of the larger cities are not yet known here. Lynn, Mass. — Gibbs Bros, report a small increase over the Christmas trade of 1907, about ten per cent increase as compared with 1906. Stock came out about right, but they could have sold more red roses and red carnations. White carnations were about the only thing left unsold. The call was for less expensive articles and not many were willing to pay the price of the made-up plant arrangements. What hurt the Christmas trade most was undoubtedly a strike of five weeks' duration. TWO POINTS OF VIEW. . Every now and then we hear it said that * ' there are too few varieties of roses"; or we listen to some one be- wailing the lack of novelty in the retail florist's stock, because there is "too much sameness about the varieties grown year after year." Not so very long ago it was said that there were ' ' only four ' ' forcing roses, meaning Beauty, Maid, Bride and Meteor. There has been a lot of change in the last half dozen years — and change for the better from every point of view— but those who sell cut flowers do not all agree \nth the opinion that there are "too few varieties." From one point of view there are too many, especially of pink roses. I will tell you why. In the days when Maid was our only pink forcing rose we grew a good batch of it and we sent to market every day a cut of some little size. Then we took part of our space for Chatenay and a little more for Kate Moulton; then the next year a house for Killarney, with a house less of Maid. Last season we found room for a few Mrs. Jardine, but we didn't get in on My Maryland or Mrs. Palmer. Looks like we had missed a good thing in the Maryland, but there won't be many ahead of us, for we shall plant it this year. Now, every one of these roses is a good rose — ^perhaps some better than others, but not one that is not worth growing. But the point 1 have in mind in this: My cash returns are falling oflf, and I can't kick to my commission man, or at the times, for my commission house got in the first protest, something like this, when I asked them to pick up some My Maryland for me: "For heaven's sake, quit it. Don't split up your glass for any more varie- ties. Maryland's all eight — looks like a good thing — but you've got more varie- ties now than you ought to have. When you grew only Maid for pink you had a nice little batch of stuff every day; we could grade it up and have enough of each size to do some business with. Now you've got so many varieties you don't cut enough of any one thing so we can grade 'em up and fill a decent order. If there were not others like you, so we can lump the lots, you would never get for your best any more than the price of the seconds, for you don't have enough long stuff of any sort to fill a first-class order. The Kdltor la pl«ase not begrudge the other fellow his modi- cum of success. Let's not try to grow everything, but try to do a few things^ well* G. W. Smith. THE FRENCH AWARDS. Eeaders of the Review already are familiar with the interesting trials of new roses held last season in the Baga- telle Gardens, Paris, where Rhea Reid, shown by the E. G. Hill Co., of Rich- mond, Ind., gained the grand gold medal offered by ^he City of Paris for the best rose.

Please tell us the trouble and give a remedy for it. A. W. C. Though there may be some fungoid trouble, which, owing to the shriveled condition of the leaves, I am unable to detect, the main trouble is a heavy dose of red spider. The most effective remedy for this is cold water. Spray the foliage thoroughly once a day during bright weather. In order to dislodge the pests, a pressure of forty-five to sixty pounds is required. Bibbs. SCALE INSECTS ON FERNS. Enclosed you will find a fern leaf which has scales on it. Kindly advise me as to what I can do to destroy them in my palm and fern house. What can I spray withf How warm should my palm and fern house be kept? _ A. V. B, The scale insects in question prove to be the same troublesome pests that are causing anxiety to many growers of nephrojepis, and the best way to fight them is by first cutting off the worst fronds from the ferns, and then spray- ing them once a week with solution of extract of tobacco, the solution to con- sist of one part of Eose Leaf Extract of tobacco to fifty parts of water. A night temperature of 60 degrees is right for a mixed house of palms and ferns, and 75 degrees during the day, with some ventilation. W. H. T. DIELYTRA FOR EASTER. We have a few dozen Dielytra specta- bilis in pots outdoors covered up, alcflig with the spiraeas. We wish to have these for Easter. Shall we treat them just like the spirseas, or do they require dif- ferent treatment? H, C. O. Do not start your dielytra yet. Keep in a frame or cold house. You will have better plants if you do not subject them to a high temperature. Place in a tem- perature of 45 to 50 degrees at night about the end of January. In such a house it will flower in time for Easter, Dielytras do not require as much water as spiraeas, as they do not root so freely. C. W. CATTLEYA LAVRENCEANA. That beautiful and extremely useful cattleya, Lawrenceana, is not at all com- mon in cultivation, and the recent receipt of some 250 plants by an American firm is, I believe, the first consignment which has arrived in America or Europe for a long time. C. Lawrenceana was discov- ered in British Guiana in 1885, and was named, like quite a number of other choice orchids, in honor of Sir Trevor Lawrence, president of the Eoyal Horti- cultural Society of England, whose or-^ chid collection at Burford Lodge," near Derking, in Surrey, has for several dec- ades had a world-wide celebrity. The flowering time of this cattleya is in late March or early April, a period when cattleya flowers are far from plen- tiful, which renders it of special value commercially. The flowers somewhat re- semble those of C. Skinneri, but are much longer, almost equaling C. Trians in size. The color is purplish lilac. The center of the lip is light yellow, the re- maining portion being of varying shades JO The Weekly Florists^ Review; Jancabt 7, 1009. of purple. Sepals and petals are broad and the flowers, which are produced on stout scapes, stand out boldly. Usually five to six flowers are carried on a scape, but strong bulbs, will give eight to ten. The pseudo-bulbs are distinct, a foot or more in length, of a reddish brown hue and much furrowed. C. Lawrenceana succeeds well with us at the warmest end of the cattleya house, where a minimum temperature of 60 to 62 degrees is maintained, and grows bet- ter in pans than in baskets, hung well up to the light, with a little shade, ex- cept in midwinter, when the glass is clear. There is no better rooting medium than osmnnda fiber. Like all cattleyas, it wants an abundant water supply dur- ing the growing season. C. Lawrenceana, coming in season when C. Triame is gone and before C. Mossise or Mendellii are in flower, is a decided acquisition to commercial orchid growers. Its only competitor would be C. Schroe- deriana, but nine customers out of ten would pick C. Lawrenceana in preference / to that variety on account of its more pleasing color. The accompanying illus- tration shows a few freshly imported plants. W. N. Cbaiq. BENCHES VERSUS SOLID BEDS. I grow roses, carnations, lilies, etc., on benches. All my houses are connected, facing south. My benches are four feet high, thus leaving head space of only eight feet frpm bench to ridge. All the houses are partitioned by boards under- neath the gutter. The bench next to the gutter facmg south scarcely gets any sunshine at all until late in the day. What I want to know is, would it be better to remove the partitions and benches and grow my stock on the solid ground? J. J. C. The best angle for houses .is one run- ning due east and west, but goad stock can be grown in those built as yours are. As you are probably running diflFerent temperatures in your houses, it would be inadvisable to remove the board par- titions, unless it were between such as are kept at approximately the same tem- perature. As a general rule, benches are decidedly preferable to so^d beds for winter flowering of roses and carnations. In spring and summer the solid beds seem to yield better results than benches. I do not think it would pay you to change to solid beds, but would advise removing the partitions where tempera- tures vdB allow. C. W. DELPHINIUM FORMOSUM. - Will Delphinium formosum planted now bloom next summer? . E. W. S. This and other varieties of the hardy delphiniums, or larkspurs, will bloom next summer if sown now. The spikes will not, of course, attain the size of older plants. A better plan for you an- other year will be to sow about the middle of July. Even sown this late, a few will flower, and the following season they will yield excellent spikes. C. W. / CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Propagation of New Varieties. Those who invested in any of the new varieties of last season's introduc- tion and now have the mature plants on the benches -will- doubtless have, formed, some opinion as to their merit. If this opinion is decidedly favorable to their continuance, it is natural that every cut- ting should be regarded with covetous eyes. As a rule, the stock of recent intro- ductions is not large with the average grower, and while it is in the spirit of the progressive grower to desire ma- terial increase in the plantings of such as give prpmise of merit, it is advis- able to ' * make haste slowly, ' ' for with- out doubt much of the unsatisfcustory ex- perience with new sorts is due to the mad rush in endeavoring to propagate in unreasonable quantities. Avoid the Yearly Massacre* If the best plants could be selected and grown in. a separate house, exclu- sively for the production of cuttings, and handled accordingly, that would" be one thing, but this is out of the ques- tion with a majority of growers. Con- sequently I am not in accord with the practice of cutting back the plants severe- ly; in fact, it is best to cut but little more than if grown for flowers alone. This chopping, wholesale massacre, and skinning to bare poles, is altogether too debilitating. Furthermore, it is prob- able that the plants from which the pres- ent ones were propagated underwent similar treatment and their offspring needs to be allowed more of Dame Nature's own sweet ways this year. The Ideal and the Practical. In giving my views December 24 re- garding selection of stock from whicl) to propagate, it was not my intention to eon- fine operation? to ideal plants alone. Owing to the commercial features, which must enter into our calculations, such a course, in many cases, would be im- practical. When we have a compara- tively small stock, there must necessarily be a second choice of plants, but in any event there must be no sacrifice of vigor. The side shoots from the flower stem, which make desirable cuttings, are usu- ally in prime condition to root during the interval between the bud's showing color and the proper time to cut the ex- panded bloom. Should they be in con- dition and it is desired to remove . them some time in advance of cutting the bloom, it is important that at least one strong shoot should be left at a point just below where the stem of the de- veloped bloom will be cut. This is done not only with a view to a succession of bloom and later cuttings, but it does away with the necessity of depending for future operations upop dormant eyes, which are of uncertain behavior and quality. If it is not the intention to make use of bloom except for the purpose of inspection, a portion of the partially de- veloped buds may be removed by cutting above the uppermost suitable shoot and again, when all are taken, observing the precaution to leave one, as written luwve. Just as it is unwise to cyt a large number of blooms from a pl^t at one time, even so it is injurious to strip a plant of every shoot at one operation. Retarding Cuttings. Sometimes very desirable cuttings are available somewhat too early and one is much averse to throwing them away. These may be retarded in rooting a week or more by inserting them in a flat of sand, placing them in a cold house and later moving them to the propagat- ing bench. The fact that plants are affected with rust does not debar them from use in propagating. We have come to regard the existence of it in a variety as evi- dence of its being well bred. If care is taken to select cuttings showing no signs of the trouble, and if the stock is kept growing vigorously without check, there will be little seen of rust the following year. About the worst combination to be up against is that of rust and red spider together. Geo. S. Osborn. SPLIT CALYXES. I would like to know what causes our carnations to split so. T?h(B ni'ght tem- perature is 52 degrees at one end and -♦r*^- . .,. .'.i * ; -•"?-;■ ,'v ■• ' -f JANVART 7, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Revicwi n w ' ., • ; t 1 '^^ Establishment of the W. C.

About three weeks ago the temperature at night went down to 46 degrees at this end, but I should think that they would be over it by this time. At the first of the season they were alL good, but for three weeks they have been splitting. This being my first year at carnations, I am at a loss to know what ails them or what to do for them. Any light thrown on the trouble will be greatly appreciated by us. B. H. Cr. Ih the first place, you are growing your "White Perfection rather too warm. Better reduce the temperature in the whole house about two degrees, making it 50 to 54 degrees. White Perfection is prone to split a small percentage of its calyxes under any conditions, but when grown too warm any carnation is more sensitive to a changeable temper- ature than it would be in a lower aver- age temperature. You are most likely now reaping the result of that severe drop of which you speak. It would take just about this long for the buds which would be affected by it to develop. Another two or three weeks ought to see you through the trouble. Keeping a uniform, steady tem- perature is all you can do for it. A. F. J. B. AVERAGE CROP OF CUTTINGS. What would you consider an average crop of cuttings per plant, say on 1,000 carnations, grown exclusively for the cut- tings? I was planning to try the cut- ting business, with 2,000 or 3,000 plants. What would you suggest as the best leading varieties, including three or four pink, two white and two red, to start with! F. C. G. A common phrase, frequently em- ployed in answering questions such as yours, is, "That depends." The fact is, the answers to your questions might be so varied, depending entirely on so many things which would change conditions and results, that I would need about one- half of this number of the Review to exhaust the subject, I will be as brief as possible and ypt give you at least some information. To begin with, varieties vary in the production of cuttings as well as of blooms. What would be a good average for one variety would be poor for an- other. The size of the plants at the start, too, must be coiisidered, and I might say right here that large plants are really more essential in growing for cuttings than they are for blooms, be- cause your propagating season is so short. You can, however, set them closer on the bench and stiU make the bench yield a good crop, if you started out with that intention in the fall. From such varieties as the Enchantress tribe you should be able to get from thirty to thirty-five cuttings per plant. Victory will not give you so many; neither will Lady Bountiful xor Aristocrat or De- fiance. The last ^ named will not give more than half that number, unless you have unusually good plants. How large a percentage of these you succeed in shipping out will of course depend on your ability as a propagator, as well as some other qualifications, which we will touch on later. When you ask me to name the varie- ties you should grow for this purpose, I can only advise you to use your own judgment. If you will visit a numoer of ifarge establishments where rooted cut- tings are sold, you will find that while some of the standard varieties are grown on each place, yet the list of varieties will vary on the various places. Each grower will have different ideas as to what varieties will have the biggest call in that particular season. As good an indication as you will find anywhere, will be found in the Review. When the reports are generally favorable about a certain variety of recent introduction, you may be sure there will be a good demand for the cuttings. To the rooted cutting specialist it matters but little what he himself thinks of the good or bad qualities of a variety. What in- terests him more is, what do the rank and file think of it? If the reports average well, he stocks up. If, on the other hand, . a variety which he considers extra good does not make a favorable impression elsewhere, he may try to save it from oblivion, by saying a good word for it now and again, but he will not propagate it heavily. This, of course, applies mostly to va- rieties pf recent dissemination. After a variety becomes a leader in its color, there is, of course, no guesswork about it, but prices are lower, too, and profits smaller. For instance, there is no guess- work about whether you can sell White Perfection cuttings, or White Enchant- ress, on account of its origin, but how about the varieties sent out last season? Some of them promise well, but will they be in demand next season? In case one of them meets with a big demand, the grower who was lucky enough to have a big stock can make much more than he could out of Perfection or White En- chantress, on account of the higher price. After a variety becomes a standard and is generally grown, the specialists' oppor- tunities are reduced considerably on ac- count of the large number of cut flower ^>::^::aaiW<:s^t.;^lC **Si!!^^ "'^'^^^MCI -^'^Mk. ^Jm ^^^ §5^?^ i^^BI^^ {feZ^axj w^m'- \ " \->S'^5!^ •fc^^^fc^ ^^li^^^K ^i^^Z^^U ' ^P'f § j^gp^^^pHS ^^...^ ^*^^ ^^^^^^^2 ^'^^^fci ^'■%^\ '' ^4^^^^^'^ ""^"^ ■-''^^'^ ^<3^^ '"^^^^^^^ ^^-^^ . ■ ^ ' ^ ^>;>:"r^'?^ ft^'^" ^ ■ . .^^-lattHi <' ■ 1 -^r.: ! .^i ■^ ■■•'■".•. ,•• -* '-Ji-*.

Then, finally, you must consider your ability to sell what you have to offer. Many a good grower does not get rid of his products to the best advantage. Especially ia this true in this part of the l)usiness. A reputation must be worked up first. Unless you have, by chance, some variety which is in great demand and scarce, you will have to match your reputation against that of your competi- tors. If your products are first-class you will, of course, acquire a good reputa- tion, but it will take time. Printers' ink, properly applied, will, of course, sell much stock, but where it can be coupled with a good reputation the results are much better. Perhaps the best advice I can give you is to go into the rooted cut- ting business gradually. Work up a rep- utation and trade in that line, ilnd let your stock keep pace with it. A. F. J. B. STIGMONOSE. Can you tell me what the disease is on the carnations you find enclosed, and the cause? It seems to be spreading over the whole house. Could heavy mulching be the cause, or overfeeding with such fertilizers as bone dust and wood ashes? C. S. The specimens forwarded were full of light spots, which are caused by the disease known as stigmonose. As I have said repeatedly in answer to inquiries, this disease is brought on through the punctures of insect pests, such as aphis, thrips, red spider, etc. The condition of the plants and the treatment after the punctures are made certainly do have a great deal of effect on the seriousness of the trouble. If the plants are grown rather hard and the growth matures slowly, the punctures will often leave no spots at all. But, on the other hand, if the growth is soft and succulent and matures quickly, the spots will be numerous and large. Excessive watering and feeding will always aggra- vate this trouble, if it is present to start with. Avoid heavy mulching or feeding until toward spring, at which time the trouble naturally disappears. You will often find that varieties which become quite yellow with these spots will take on a healthy appearance during the summer months, only to become covered with them again the next winter. A. F. J. B. A COMPARISON OF CUTS. Victory Leads Enchantress. It is frequently asserted that it doesn't pay as well to grow red carnations as it does those of other colors; that they are shy bloomers and never will produce as many flowers as other varieties. E. T. Wanzer, of Wheaton, 111., says his records disprove all such tbeories and that Vic- tory, the only red he grows, outblooms Enchantress, which is without question grown in larger numbers than any other variety the country over. Mr. Wanzer has fourteen benches of each variety, 690 plants to the bepch, so that the figures which follow represent the cut from 9,660 plants of Enchantress and 9,660 plants of Victory. Four benches of the Enchantress were grown indoors all summer, but all the rest of the plants were ben -heil early in August. Cutting began October 1, and up to De- cember 26 Enchantress had given 22,275 good flowers and 1,475 splits. In the same time Victory gave 29,225 perfect flowers and only 175 splits. Enchantress gave, then, up to Christmas slightly more than two flowers per plant, while Victory gave almost three flowers per plant. At the same time it is worth noting that Enchantress began splitting October 12, but that Victory showed no splits till December 18. The record of the daily cut is as follows: — ' — victory Perfect.

The outdoor view is from a photograph taken in July, but the carnation house interior was photographed in December. This business was established in 1884 and at that time consisted of only one house 12x40. At the present time there are four houses 20x100 devoted to car- nations, one house of the same size for roses and another for bedding plants fol- lowing the chrysanthemums. There also is one house 10x30 for propagating. Fol- lowing the death of the proprietor, W. C. Hill, the business was incorporated. F. R. Thornton is president and Clara Sher- man secretary and treasurer. Carnations, it will be noted, occupy a greater part of the space and have al- ways been successfully handled here. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. Annual Premium List. The premium list for the eighteenth annual exhibition, to be held at the Ger- man House, Indianapolis, Ind., January 27 and 28, shows little change from pre- vious lists. Provision is made for the usual exhibits of 100 blooms in each color. The classes for named varieties are cut down by dropping from the list the names of a number of sorts no longer generally grown, but all varieties dissem- inated prior to July 1, 1908, are eligible as "any other" if not provided for by name. The society's medals, and those of the S. A. F., are offered under the usual conditions. Six special prizes are offered, by Baur & Smith, A. Wiegand & Son, Bertermann Bros. Co., H, W. Field, the State Florists' Association of Indiana, and by the Indiana Floral Fes- tival Asipciation. The program for the meeting has not yet been announced, but arrangements are being made to entertain a large at- tendance. STOCK FOR CLOUDY CLIMATE. Will you kindly tell me what are the best kinds of roses and carnations to bloom under glass in northwestern Mon- tana, where there is a large proportion of cloudy weather? A. S. The most profitable varieties of roses to grow under these conditions would be: Pink, Bridesmaid and Chatenay; white. Bride and Ivory; red, Bichmond. In carnations there is quite a long list to select from. The following va- rieties will do fairly well: White, Queen Louise, Boston Market and White Per- fection ; pink, Lawson, Dorothy and Eose- pink Enchantress; light pink. Enchan- tress; crimson, Harlowarden; red. Vic- tory and Beacon. Ribes. TO MAKE MOLES DECAMP. In the Review of December 24, E. S. M. asked how to get rid of moles in his lettuce house and was advised to destroy them with spring traps. William Mor- row, of Stamford, Conn., says: "If E. S. M. win open a creek one inch wide and ten inches deep across his lettuce bed, about every six or eight feet, and pour in a mixture of Scalecide and water, about six parts water to one of Scalecide, the moles will not show up in that bed again. Tar water will also keep them away. The creeks should be closed as soon as the liquid soaks down." (X .F'>>??' : fl:< T- JANUABT 7, 1909. The Weekly Florists^ Review; 13 f SEASONABLE ^--^"^^ - SUGGESTIONS Rambler Roses. It is time to start the ramblers in- tended for Easter. Only a trifle over three months remains between now and the great floral festival. Of course, it is possible to get the plants into bloom within ten weeks, but this necessitates hard forcing, with a consequent deteri- oration in the quality of the plants. Stock summer grown in pots is, of course, preferable for early forcing, next to that plants potted in the fall. We prefer to start them rather cool, 40 to 42 degrees at night, until they break; then 5 to 10 degrees warmer, but would much rather not subject the plants to over 55 de- grees at night at any stage of their growth. Of course it is necessary to bend or twist around the canes to secure an even break. All weak wood should be cut away. While Crimson Rambler is more seen » than any other variety at Easter, it is becoming too common and people, tiring of it, naturally turn to Dorothy Perkins and oth^r pink varieties for a pleasing change. It is too early yet to start any hybrid perpetuals for Easter. Shamrocks. Each year seems to show an increased sale of shamrocks on March 17. It is now getting rather late to sow seeds, but if got in at once, little plants may still be obtained. Pick oflE the seedlings from the earlier sowings into shallow flats of light soil and, before they become crowded, transfer them singly to small pots, or a number together in pans, whichever your trade calls for the most. Shamrocks want a cool house, not over 48 to 50 degrees at night. In a higher temperature they become drawn and weak and fall an easy prey to the at- tacks of thrips. Ten Weeks Stocks. Seed sown at once of the early forc- ing sorts, like White Column, Beauty of Nice and early Ten Weeks, will flower during April. " Quite a few would be in flower for Easter, but at that time they are not good sellers and it is better pol- icy to time them for Memorial day. To have them in flower May 30, seed should not be sown before February 1. Cover the flats containing the seeds very lightly after sowing. A scattering of fine sand is better than loam and when this is used the surface never becomes baked and slimy, as when soil only is used. Stocks, if sown in a brisk heat, must be moved to much cooler quarters before the seed- lings have had time to become drawn. They are better all potted off singly. Freesias. Quite a number of the early spikes of freesias will now be cut. If you are in the habit of cutting your steins right 4own to the ground, it will not pay you to carry the bulbs over. No matter how well you may care for them, they will not give returns like fresh bulbs from which the flower stems have not been cut. If, however, you cut merely the tops of the flowering shoots and do not remove the foliage, the bulbs, if gradually dried off, will be equal to the best you can buy. Ereesias resent forcing and will keep but a short time if given much heat. Let them open in a cool house and their shipping and keeping qualities will be greatly improved. Any bulbs you intend carrying over ought not to be stood under the benches, but given a sunny shelf ^ and carefully watered for some time yet. Purity is so much superior to other varieties of free- sias that up-to-date growers are discard- ing everything but Fischer's seedling. Lorraine Begonias. Probably the bulk of your plants of Lorraine bo^onia are sold. If you have any small stock in 2-inch to 3%-inch pots, keep the flowers pinched off. These can be successfully carried over and grown into fine specimens for another season. If, as previously advised, you saved a few strong, healthy plants, from which the flowers were removed, which have been growing in a sunny house, you will now be able to get a nice crop of leaves for propagating purposes. It is not too early to make a start if you are desirous of working up a good stock for next Thanksgiving and Christmas sales. With cool weather, the steam or hot water pipes will now have a steady heat. If the propagating bench is given a bottom heat of 75 to 80 degrees, with a top heat of 60 degrees, the leaves should root nice- ly and produce little plants inside of six weeks. Cut off a portion of the stem with each leaf and allow the leaf itself to just touch the sand. The sand should be sharp, so that water will pass through it quickly. Shade from the sun's rays. With the avoidance of draughts, and with careful watering, a large propor- tion of the leaves should be fit to pot off by the end of February. Careless watering will, of course, cause wholesale rotting. Gladioli. As a catch crop the large-flowered gladioli come in useful. Where any other crops have died out, the gladiolus can be planted, but it prefers a cool house; 52 degrees at night is as high as we care to give it. For Easter flowering the bulbs should have been planted in the benches in De- cember. These should now be coming up. Keep the soil scratched and do not water too copiously or stem-rot will re- sult. For Memorial day plant the bulbs about the end of January. They cannot all be had in flower at once, but they bring fairly satisfactory prices at all times in the markets. That beautiful variety, America, is now procurable for $40 to $45 per thousand. This should bring it more within the range of commercial growers. No o^her gladiolus is of so pleasing a shade and it will always sell when other colors go a-begging. Try a batch of it and you will not go far wrong. Shakespeare, Snow White, May, Augusta and Klondyke are good named .sorts. In planting unnamed batches, it is al- ways better to use them by one shade of color. These sell better than miscel- laneous mixtures. Gladioli like a soil containing a good proportion of well rotted manure. Lobelia. The only way to get nice, dwarf little plants of the blue bedding lobelia is to propagate from cuttings. Old plants car- ried over will now have a good crop of these, and by getting them into the prop- agating bench at once, you will get nice, bushy little stock for spring sales. These will also give you plenty of tops for late propagation. These lobelias, except near the ocean, are not successes as bedders, but come in useful for window-boxes or vases. The hanging variety, gracilis, if sown towards the end of the month, will also come in useful for this same purpose. The new double lobelia, Kathleen Mal- lard, is well worth a trial. Seed Sowing. While it is a trifle early to start many seeds, there are a few which can with advantage be sown now. Among these are Dracaena australis, Grevillea robusta, Aralia Sieboldii, Asparagus plumosus, Asparagus Sprengeri, gloxinias and fibrous-rooted begonias. The soU in all cases should consist of a large propor- tion of leaf-mold, and fine sand should be incorporated through it and scattered over the surface after seeds are sown. A brisk, moist heat will insure early germination. Keep the pans or flats covered with papers until the seedlings appear. Use a fine sprinkler when water- ing and never allow the soil to become in the least dry. TO CLEAN POTS. I would like to offer the following suggestion to readers of the Review who spend much time over the drudgery of washing flower pots: On top of my boiler I have a bed of sand, in which I bury my pots, covering them completely. I leave them there for from one to two weeks and when they are removed they will be perfectly clean and almost like new. Try it, and see how it works. Rudolph Kaisee. EXPERIENCE WITH CYANIDE, During the last few weeks we used four applications of hydrocyanic acid gas for white flies. It killed them, and most of the mealy bugs, but did not seem to get red spider, nor did it hurt bees in a hive on a bench, subjected to one application. The plants treated were geraniums, coleus, chrysanthemums, cyclamens, prim- roses, asparagus, ferns, both maidenhair and Boston types; palms, begonias, pelar- goniums, violets, bulbous stock, azaleas, stevia and others. Much injury resulted to the artillery plants and rose gera- niums and the young growths of Aspara- gus plumosus. Only a few young leaves of geraniums and chrysanthemums were hurt. Nothing else suffered noticeably. W. A.

Public notice is hereby given of the application of the Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove, Pa., for tiie registration of the plant specified below. This applica- tion for registry was filed in this office December 31, 1908, and any person know- ing of any reason why the registry of this name should not be made is request- ed to communicate with the undersigned. Eose Charles Dingee, a new rose, orig- inated with us; a cross between White Maman Cochet and Hermosa; exceeding- ly strong grower; large, heavy foliage, resembling Maman Cochet; growing ordi- narily to a height of two feet; ever- blooming; large, deep double flowers of good substance, produced on long, stiff stem; color, delicate rose tints in the center, gradually shading off into pale blush and creamy white. W. N. EuDD, Sec'y. December 31, 1908. WILLIAM J. VESEY. President J. A. Valentine evidently in- tends that the S. A. P. shall steer a straight course during his administra- tion, for one of his appointees as member of the board of directors is a lawyer- florist. Judge William J. Vesey, of Fort Wayne. Judge Vesey confesses to al- ways having been a "flower crank." The family had a small conservatory for many years, and in 1892 the interest had grown to the point where a commercial plant was built. The firm is W. J. & M. S. Vesey, the junior member having orig- inally been taken into partnership when she was Miss Maggie Studebaker, at De- catur, Ind., in 1882. The plant has been extended as its earnings permitted, until now it includes about 150,000 feet of glass. Cut flowers are grown, largely for wholesale, but recently a handsome re- tail store has been opened in Fort Wayne. The supervision of the flower business is largely in the hands of Mrs. Vesey, who last year was president of the La- dies' S. A. F. Judge Vesey was bom April 19, 1857, in La Grange county, Indiana. In young manhood he taught school and studied law. In 1878 he was admitted to the bar and in 1899 was appointed judge of the Superior Court. Aside from his law practice, he is a director in several banks and other enterprises at Fort Wayne. Judge and Mrs. Vesey have six chil- dren, three sons and three daughters. One of the sons is in the greenhouses, the other two in college. EUGENE J. G. DAILLEDOUZE. Brooklyn and the surrounding country, comprising the western end of Long Island, have long enjoyed an enviable position in the world of horticulture and floriculture. This is partly due to the fact that this section is convenient to the greatest flower market in the United States, and also to the fact that its population includes some of the most active and successful flower growers in the country. Among this class must be counted the subject of this sketch, a man widely known and highly respected in the trade. Mr. Dailledouze was born about 50 years ago, on the Delmonico farm, an estate located in what is now a very populous section of Brooklyn, and re- moved from there with his parents when about 6 years of age, to Flatbush. Soon after this time his father, John Daille- douze, in company with the late Charles Zeller and Joseph Gard, purchased sev- eral acres of land in Flatbush, formed the firm of Dailledouze, ZeUer & Co. and engaged in the nursery and plant busi- ness, continuing in it for several years. After the dissolution of this firm, the various partners engaged in different branches of the business, and it was in the establishment of his father that Eu- gene Dailledouze was grounded in the habits of close application and hard work that have served him well in his later career. After the death of his father, Mr. Dailledouze and his two brothers, Paul and Henry, united in conducting the business for the benefit of the widow^ and when she, too, had passed away, some years later, the three brothers formed the firm of Dailledouze Bros. This arrange- ment continued for fifteen years, and during that period a highly successful business in wholesale cut flower growing was built up, the success of which has proved the value of hard work, econom- ical management and close attention to every detail. In July, 1907, Paul and Henry Daille- douze decided to retire from active busi- ness, and since then the business has been conducted by Eugene Dailledouze only,, though keeping the old firm name of Dailledouze Bros. The specialtiel grown in this modem plant of 100,000 square feet of glass are carnations and chrys- anthemums, and it is with these that Mr, Dailledouze has been especially identified for several years. As a past president and life member of the American Carna- tion Society, he is well known to the trade, and as chairman of the New York chrysanthemum committee his judgment is worthy of respect. Mr. Dailledouze is also president of the New York Cut Flower Co., an. office to which he has been reelected for the last five or six years, and is a life member of the Society of American Florists, It will also be an item of pleasant news to his many friends to learn that Mr. Dailledouze has ac- cepted the office of a director in the na- tional society, recently tendered him by President Valentine. Mr. Dailledouze has celebrated his sil- ver wedding anniversary, and also has a married son, through whom the family name is perpetuated by means of a grandson, less than a year old. THE S. A. F. REPORT. Secretary W. N. Eudd celebrated New Year's by mailing, to members, the an- nual volume published by the Society of American Florists. The date was spe- cially appropriate, as it marked the pas- sage of the old administration and the incoming of the new. An omission doubtless due to modesty is that of the portrait of J. A. Valentine, the like- ness of the new president having formed the frontispiece of the report in recent years. As usual, the major part of the vol- ume is occupied by the stenographic rec- ord of the annual convention, but new ground is broken in the inclusion of long reports from the society's entomologist^ botanist and pathologist, officers who in the past have contributed little to tha -■-:;' i^^f:'!-!^y^-^^- JANUABT 7, 1909. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 15 work of the organization simply for the reason that no call was made upon them. Prof. F. L. Washburn, of Minneapolis, the entomologist, contributes a list of ex- periment station literature issued from January 1 to August 1, 1908, bearing upon insects affecting fruits or flowers. The effort simplr is to make the informa- tion easy of reference, but it also serves to give a new idea of the volume of thi* class of literature, for it is an imposing array — some 105 bulletins issued in seven months. Prof. L. H. Pammel, of Ames, la., the botanist, in twenty printed pages, discusses plant breeding and the year's work on plant diseases, and the path- ologist, Dr. B. M. Duggar, of Ithaca, N. Y., reports on some of the fungous diseases of floricultural plants. Brief re- ports of the special society's doings are also included in the book. Page 266 is one of the most interest- ing in the volume ; it gives a summary of the membership as of November 20,- after the national flower show, as follows: Life members 179 Annual members 720 Total It is interesting to note the member- ship by states, as follows: Alabama 6 California 8 Colorado 12 Connecticut 17 District of Col'bla 20 Florida 6 Georgia 7 Idaho 2 Illinois 74 Indiana 25 Iowa 16 Kansas 2 Kentocky 18 Lonisiana 7 Maine 2 Maryland 22 Massachusetts 64 Michigan 88 Minnesota 22 Mississippi 2 Missonrl 88 Nebraska 4 New Bampsliire .. 2 New Jersey 47 New York 168 North Carolina ...

Will you please tell me how to handle field grown dahlias for cut flowers and bulbs to obtain best results and prices in the market! Should dahlias be grown single-stemmed and should they be bunched in bunches of twenty-five, or should they be shipped separate t Would it pay to grow gladiolus bulbs for mar- ket, or if there are any other kinds of bulbs that will pay to grow in field for bulbs or cut flower stock, please inform me as to the names of samef These bulbs are to be grown in the state of Alabama or Florida. W. A. A. Dahlias will not succeed so well in Alabama or Florida as in the cooler and more northern states. It is almost im- possible to quote any market prices for the cut flowers, for while we have seen them sold as high as $4 to $5 per hun- dred at wholesale in small fancy lots, fine flowers have gone begging at one- fifth that price. We very much doubt if such flowers as you could produce in the states named would be worth market- ing in any of the big cut flower centers. The singles and pompons are usually bunched in dozens or twenty-fives. The «how, cactus and decorative sorts are bet- ter packed singly. For field culture, plant in June in rows four feet apart, allowing two to two and one-half feet between the plants. Bemove all but one strong shoot and after this has made three pairs of leaves, pinch out the top. It will then break and make a stocky plant, which will not require staking. A stake to each plant secures the main shoots from splitting, however. Gladioli wiU do much better vidth you than dahlias. For spikes of approved colors, there is much better summer de- mand than exists for dahlias, and for bulbs there is an excellent market. For the flowering, or French cannas there is a big demand. Why not try growing a good batch of the best varie- ties of these? Caladium esculentum is another tuber having a good sale com- mercially. It would also pay to grow some of the hybrid amaryUises, which should make good bulbs in the section named. - N. HYACINTHS. Kindly teU me why my hyacinths come up flowers first, before any foliage. ._ C. M. T. You should have kept your hyacinths in a cellar, covered with ashes, until the iraVERY now and then a well 1L9 pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of bringing a new advertiser to m Such friendly assistance is thoroughly appreciated. Give us the name of anyone from whom you are bttying, not an adver- tiser. We especially wish to interest those selling articles of florists' use not at present advertised. FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 530-60 Caxton BIdg. Chicago growths were at least two inches long before housing. Even then it is advis- able to keep them darkened to draw up the stems somewhat. Later in the Reason this is unnecessary. Your trouble has come from placing your plants in the light before being sufficiently started. C. W. DATA ON FLORICULTURE. Secretary J. F. Ammann, of the Illi- nois State Florists' Association, writes from Edwardsville as follows: "We are trying to get correct data of the greenhouse area for our organization and I enclose herewith a notice or sort of call to arms to wake the boys up. If yon will kindly publish same in the Bevisw I am sure it will help us get results. I also enclose a copy of letter I have sent out to one at least in each county. So far I have lieard from about forty counties. When I get a reasonably complete list I shall be glad to furnish you data for publication if you wish." The letter to county representatives is as follows: My dear Sir: — We want yon to help ns an- swer this qnestion — What greenhouse area have we in Illinois T Your leglslatlTe committee of this association must go to Springfield this winter to secure an appropriation to carry on experimental work for the next two years. To get this, we mast be able to tell Jnst what amoant of glass is de- Toted to flowers and vegetables In the state. Your committee has done much in this line and they now require your personal help In com- pleting this work. Enclosed find a Ust qf the ~ ■ T. Pli florists and gardeners In your county, find out from each of these — and any others yoa may' know of — just how much glass area he has and if devoted to flowers or vegetables, or it both, name amount of each separately. Wa must have this data Just as soon as possible. If you cannot assist us in this valuable work, please write the undersigned at ooce. We are mailing a similar letter to one leading florist in every county in the state and hope they all will help for the best Interests of the trade. Trusting you will be with us in this good work, I am, Very truly yours, J. F. Ammann, Sec'7. The ♦♦CaU to Arms." We are going before the legislature at the next session to secure an appropria- tion to have experimental work done for the florists at the Experiment Station. In bringing this matter before the legis- lature it is highly important that wo should have accurate figures regarding the amount of greenhouses in this state, as the legislators, many o£ them, think that we are pretty small potatoes. Will you be good enough to write me as early as possible what is the area of your greenhouse establishment f I mean by this, how much ground is covered. This movement means much to every florist iu the state and I trust that you will help by promptly giving me the figures asked for, so that they can be footed up, and we be in a position to tell the legislature how big a business the florists' business of this state is. Don't forget the convention at Spring- field February 16 and 17. Be sure and come. J. F. Ammann, Sec'y. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. Secretary B. Hammond has issued the preUniinary Ust of premiums for the annual exhibition to be held at Buffalo March 17 to 20. The Breitmeyer-Bod- dington premiums of $300 are continued for the best display of bush roses in bloom and effort is made to get a better showing of pot roses by offering pre- miums for a list of named varieties. The usual cash prizes are offered for cut blooms, vases of twenty-five and of twelve, in all the standard forcing varie- ties, the classes for twelves being open only to private gardeners and amateurs. The special prizes will be included in the final list. OBITUARY. S. S. Brenneman. S. S. Brenneman died last week of tuberculosis, at his home in Webb City, Mo., after an illness of six months. He was bom in December, 1848, and was married to Cathryn Haycraft, January 29, 1879. He went into the florists' busi- ness in 1896, and built up an extensive business, with one of the largest ranges of greenhouses in southwest Missouri. He leaves a widow and five sisters. J. T. Montgomery. J. T. Montgomery, of Toughkenamon, Pa., died January 1, after a brief illness. Mr. Montgomery had been in the business for about six years, having taken over the Isaac Larkins place at that time. He was a grower of cut flowers for the Philadelphia market. If there is a desire to move large speci- men evergreens from one place to an- other, the work can be done successfully in hard, frosty weather if the roots are left untouched in large balls of soil. ••'■''., V - r 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

"When the days begin' to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen." You lose money every way if you fail to be a prompt collector: When a cus- tomer owes too large a bill he either does not buy at all, or he buys elsewhere. And then there is the chance of loss in over- due accounts. It is interesting to note that Carna- tion White Perfection won the award at the national flower show at Chicago and at the exhibition of the English carna- tion society at London for the best vari- ety staged. The year 1908 proved that flowers, contrary to popular impression, are not a luxury. After one has been long enough accustomed to a luxury, that luxury be- comes a necessity. Enough people have been buying flowers regularly the last few years so that to a good many they have become necessary and in the trade depression of last year the florists suf- fered as little as those in most lines. THE HAIL ASSOCIATION. The writer notes in a recent issue of the Review that the Connecticut Fire Insurance Co., of Hartford, is insur- ing growing crops against hail. The reason that greenhouse insurance against hail has not been exploited by capitalistic companies is that the Florists' Hail As- sociation is a mutual, cooperative associa- tion that furnishes insurance at first cost, without accruing profits to anybody. When the principle of cooperation adopt- ed by the Florists' Hail Association is fully understood, it is my prediction that the methods of that organization will be a model after which other cooperative ventures in other lines will be patterned. And yet, with minimum first cost insur- ance to be had without paying commis- sions to agents, it does seem queer that florists are continually applying for such insurance through flre insurance agents. A letter addressed to John G. Esler, Saddle River, N. J., will bring full in- formation concerning hail insurance. And it may be well to state in this connec- tion that the Florists' Hail Association does not employ agents, and business can be transacted with the home office in New Jersey with no other cost than a postage, stamp to mail a letter. John G. Esleb. THIS BARD MEANS BUSINESS. An interested reader, Adolph Kruhm^. of Harrisburg, Pa., thinks the Review's efforts to attract business are too pro- saic— he suggests that the following, written by him especially for us, will ba more efficacious: When wild winds blow And nature sleeps, 'Tis for the florist to show What plants he keeps. To create a demand He should advertise. And have plants on hand When orders arise. * We are here to help florists, Are "the men behind," To print for them ads. OiT the "selling kind." So let's bear quickly What you have to sell. You furnish the copy; We the story will tell. EARLY ♦*COPY." The steadily increasing number of" pages in the Review, together with the- greater number of copies printed, makes it imperative that the paper go to press earlier on Wednesday in order that it may be mailed at, the usual hour on» Thursday to reach all Subscribers east of Denver by Saturday. Advertisers and correspondents can render assistance which will be greatly appreciated, by mailing their "copy" to reach the office- of publication on Monday, or Tuesday at the latest. This request is directed particularly to those regular users of space who make weekly changes in their advertisement — help us by letting us-' make your changes on Tuesday. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. It is strikingly noticeable in the mar- ket that the buyers of the better class- are doing business, while the smaller re- tailers find things stagnant. This is es- pecially true of the local demand. The- first-class stores have had, and are hav- ing, their best season. They are buying large quantities of the best stock, but the small florists, who constitute* the- greater number and whose purchases in normal times constitute an extremely large volume, are having a tough season.. All they need is a little stock for fu- neral work. The new year has started with first- class shipping demand, practically every buyer who relies on this market having been heard from with orders for good quantities. It is characteristic, however, that the shipping demand calls for noth- ing but first-class stock, so that the weak roses and the smaller grades of carna- tions have not had a good start for 1909. Wintry weather gave place to balmy spring at the beginning of this week, and the market was heavily supplied in all departments, save Harrisii lilies. It is again just between crops on lilies. On Monday several orders for lots of 100- to 200 were received at about the same time. This led to a skirmish for stock, but without result; the orders could not be filled. It is quite likely,, however, that lilies will be an oversup- ply again in a few days. The bright, warm weather brought ini the roses which had just missed Christ- JANUABY 7, 1909.

We feel this splendid achievement is a matter of public interest R^r^iiici^ every buyer of cut flowers should OCCctUbC ^igji to know WHY our sales increase so steadily year after year, through good times and bad. Our success is founded on two factors : 1st. Strictest business integrity and best business methods. 2d. By concentrating our energies on selling cut flowers only, we are able to handle each consignment so carefully that every flower not only goes out in the best possible condition, but actually in better condi- tion than when received from the growers. Our Facilities for 1909 are greater than ever. Our policy of business-building has gained for us the support of a list of growers in which we take the greatest pride — good growers, one and all. Our present sup- ply is the greatest in our history, the average quality the best, and our store force adequate to give new customers the kind of service that has held the old.

Beauties are fine and so abundant that prices have been depressed to a point rather below the usual after New Year's level. All other roses also are abundant and the quality, especially the color, is notably good. With such large supplies it was inevitable that prices should weaken decidedly. Richmond holds its own better than most sorts, be- cause not 80 overabundant. Killarney of excellent quality is so plentiful that it is worth hardly any more than first- class Maid. Carnations have been in heavy supply and prices have gone down sharply. Red and dark pink continue to sell fairly well. There is a larger proportion of Enchantress grown this year than ever before and Enchantress is not as salable as good Lawson. Quiet times as regards funeral work, and an abundance of Paper Whites and Romans, hurt the sale of white carnations. Receipts of violets have been light since New Year's, but the demand has been enough lighter so that the price has fallen off about a third. A few tulips are seen, but none yet of sufficiently good quality to be readily salable. Jonquils go better than any other bulbous stock. Asparagus strings are selling a little better than they have. Some good crops of smilax are ready, but the demand has not yet developed. Wholesalers in many instances are busy picking over ferns. The long predicted cold wave arrived January 6, with a fall in temperature from 44 above to 10 below. Although the sun continues to shine, the change in weather will no doubt affect the mar- ket, shortening the supply and stiffening prices; but the weather-man thinks two days will be as long as the cold will remain severe. December Weather. December waa an abnormally warm month, the mean temperature being 31 degrees. The precipitation was only 1.18 inches, as against a normal of 2.05 inches. Florists' coal consumption was further reduced by a low wind move- ment, the average hourly velocity being only sixteen miles. In the month there were nine clear days, six partly cloudy and sixteen cloudy.

J. L. Easke got a bad start for 1909. His store is on the Jackson boulevard side of the Tom ^Jones restaurant, in which the big explosion occurred New Year's morning. Mr. Baske's store was wrecked, but will soon be in ship-shape again. In the meantime he is doing business at his old stand, now his branch, in the Board of Trade building. There promises to be a notable exhibi- tion of carnations and other seasonable flowers at the Art Institute, Thursday afternoon, January 14. The Florists' Club holds its Januair meeting tonight, the special order of busi- ness being the election of officers. Plans are being made to get up a good party to go to the carnation con- vention at Indianapolis, leaving here on the evening of January 26. It is expect- ed that a special car will be secured in each direction. Hattie E. Carlson, whose recent de- fiance of a municipal court bailiff caused much talk, dismantled her store on Jack- son boulevard January 1 and has retired from business. A. L. Randall says that his firm shipped to 145 different customers in one day during the Christmas rush. Otto Benthey, foreman of the Coats- worth greenhouses at New Castle, was in town last week. The temperature was down to 12 de- grees below zero at Wheaton on the morning of January 6 and at E. T. Wanzer's the big hot water main burst just as the mercury struck bottom. By wrapping the pipe with burlap soaked with white lead Foreman Seheffler was able to make temporary repairs and keep up the proper temperature. E. C. Amling says single violets are again in excellent demand. Cold weather, while it has cut off transient trade, has also affected supplies in all lines. There was considerable stock frozen January 6, growers evidently not appre- ciating the severity of the cold wave. The annual meeting of the Flower Growers' Co. was held at the market January 5. The reports showed the cor- poration to be in flourishing condition. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President, W. L. Tonner; vice- president, A. Henderson; recording sec- retary, John Sinner; treasurer, M. R. Hills; financial secretary and manager, Percy Jones. C. A. Samuelson had the family order and much other work for the funeral of Mrs. Eddy, January 5. In the aggregate it made one of the largest funeral orders he ever has had. Mr. Samuelson has had a heavy run of Work for coming out parties this season and his holiday week, for the social affairs of the young folks, was especially good. The E. F.

Percy Jones reports the presence of Mrs. William Dittraan, of New Castle, in Chicago New Year's day. Kennicott Bros. Co. was receiving first- class Chadwick chrysanthemums as late as the first part of this week. C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, tells an interesting story as to how the rail- road freight people have classified fertil- izers as explosives, because of an acci- dent with some nitrate Of soda. The ob- jection to the change in classification comes in the increase made in freight rates. Each shipment of sheep manure or blood and bone now has to be accom- panied' by a declaration that the sub- stance is not inflammable. Frank Garland was in town one day last week for a, visit with his mother, who lives with Mrs. Fred Wittbold. Mr. Gar- land says Des Plaines has no special cause for complaint this season. D. A. Robertson, of the Wienhoeber force, is one of the active members of the British Empire Association. John Scheiden has been in Iowa for a week on a hunting expedition. Peter Eeinberg has a large section of his Mrs. Field rose which was disbudded during summer and held back for a try- out for winter. The rose never has been given special culture with a view to a winter crop, having right at the start proved so good a thing in summer, but this lot of plants is in fine shape and indicates the rose will be a profitable sort if grown only for winter forcing. Brant & Noe now grow no roses at all; the glass is given exclusively to car- nations and sweet peas. Most of the stock is sold direct to out-of-town retail- ers, but a portion of the sweet peas are consigned to Scheiden & Schoos in the Flower Growers' Market. R. J. Busch, who has the Julius Schnapp place on Forty-seventh street, is offering the business for sale. C. W. McKellar says orchids should be included among the short items. The call for cattleyas exceeds the present supply. W. J. Smyth has had an exceptionally good season thus far — the best he ever has enjoyed through November and De- cember. One of last week's visitors was Frank Nelson, who is with Andrew Bather, of Clinton, la. He was taking a rest while recovering from a sprained arm, the re- sult of a fall on the ice. "Wietor Bros, are making preparations for another increase in their rooted-cut- tings trade. This branch has been get- ting larger and larger for years and is looked upon as good business, especially the rooted cuttings of mums. The H. M. Hooker Co. contributed $100 to the earthquake relief fund. Wm. Abrahamson, who acts for a num- ber of out-of-town florists, as purchasing agent in this market, is also selling car- nation cuttings for several growers. He says the quantity of stock he is buying is steadily increasing. Poehlmann Bros. Co. is taking advan- tage of the favorable weather to push along the erection of its new ranges. They expect to plant early, for an increased summer supply. They will go in heav- ily on My Maryland, White Killarney and O. P. Bassett this year. rhe Andrew McAdams store was made specially attractive for the holidays, with laurel roping. More plant arrangements, in baskets and hampers, were shown and sold than in previous years. Bassett & Washburn report that if 1909 is all as good as its first week they will be well satisfied. Vaughan & Sperry are taking up the rooted cutting business, on commission. A good many wholesalers are on the lookout now for opportunities to book standing orders. Price will not be per- mitted to stand in the way, for the gen- eral sentiment is that from now till spring supplies will be large, save perhaps during some spell of bad weather. The A. L. Randall Co. reports receiv- ing orders for cuttings of White Kil- larney and My Maryland from European firms. Elk Park, N. C. — Christmas trade was good. The weather has been fine, and the green goods dealers laid in splendid stocks, and were able to fill about all orders, which practically cleaned them up. However, the weather is still fine and the pickers are pouring in daily with new supplies of fine decorative material. Syracuse, N. Y. — Bellamy Bros., who have succeeded to the business of the late L. E. Marquisee, say that before Mr. Marquisee died he had said he had a number of orders for stock of the new carnation, Marquisee. A search of his books and papers fails to reveal these orders, so someone will be disappointed unless those who gave Mr. Marquisee the orders make themselves known to his successors. 20 The Weekly Florists* Review.

The Market Conditions in the cut flower market have remained fairly satisfactory since Christmas. Supplies, owing to the con- tinued clear and comparatively mild weather, are abundant. Roses are less plentiful. A heavy crop at Christmas has resulted in some shortening of re- ceipts. The quality is now extra good. Beauties, Killarneys and Bichmonds con- tinue the leaders. Carnations are sell- ing much better than a fortnight ago. There is a better demand for whites and the usual heavy supplies of these are now lacking. Fancies make up to $5 and $6 per hundred. Violets sell well at an average of $1 per hundred; some make a little more, others less. Of Paper Whites and Romans there is an abundant supply, also of Trumpet Ma- jors. Of tuUps, supplies are still rather short. A few Campemelle jonquils are arriving. Freesia from several growers is re- markably good. The best has made up to $8 per hundred, but is now lower. Purity is the variety mostly seen. Sweet peas are not abundant, but are of good quality, so is mignonette; select spikes of the latter make $1 per dozen. Lilies and callas are in good supply and valley sells quite well. Poinsettias are still seen, but no one seems to want them now. Cypripedium insigne is plentiful. Green supplies are selling quite well. New Year's day made little difference That last advertisement in eVB^ seems to have touched the spot, all ri^ht.

The annual meeting of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society was held at Horticultural hall January 2. The treas- urer's report showed receipts of $18,400 for the year and expenses of $20,000. The deficit was mainly due to diminshed hall rentals. President Weld urged mem- bers to raise the membership of the so- ciety from 838 to 1,000 during the pres- ent year. Peter Fisher, Thomas Boland, George B. Dorr and W. H. Bawker, the new trustees recently elected, attended a board meeting for the first time. Arrangements are well advanced for a big exhibition of orchids and other sea- sonable plants, to be held in Boston, May 26 to 30, 1910. About $3,000 will be offered in orchid premiums. For the best commercial group a gold medal and $1,000 will be offered for first prize, a silver medal and $500 for second. Gold and silver medals and substantial money prizes will also be offered for groups from private growers, also groups of cypripediums, odontoglossums, cattleyas and other leading genera. Gold and sil- ver medals will also be offered for best seedling orchid, stove and greenhouse flowering and foliage plant, herbaceous plant, hardy climber, etc Azaleas, rhodo- dendrons, groups of stove and green- house plants, etc., will also be well pro- vided for.

Owing to the reduced appropriation for premiums for 1909, it has been decided to hold but two big exhibitions during the present year, viz., the spring and chrysanthemum shows. No prizes will be offered at the rose, peony, dahlia and other shows, but medals and other suitable awards wUl be made to worthy exhibits. At Ffamingham. At S. J. Goddard's carnations are this season looking better than ever and the houses are all carrying heavy crops of flowers. Helen Goddard, raised and in- troduced from here a few years ago, is still grown in quantity and does finely, much better than Afterglow, which has a large percentage of its flowers off color. In crimsons Octoroon is the fa- vorite, although Harry Fenn is doing re- markably well. White Perfection is the leader of its color. Queen, which has proved a good bread and butter sort, will be dropped after this season, to make way for more fancy kinds. Lady Boun- tiful is still grown and is unsurpassed for purity and form, even if a trifle smaller than such sorts as White Perfec- tion and White Enchantress. President Seelye is not a success and will be dropped. Beacon and Victory are grown in about equal numbers as scarlets, the lat- ter having somewhat the preference. En- chantress is still the leader of its jwirtic- ular color. A bench of Winsor grown under glass all summer carried a heavy crop, but the stems were much shorter than those of Winona, which is well liked and will be more heavily grown next sea- son. There were a few good seedlings. One, a cross between Lady Bountiful and Enchantress, of a bright shrimp pink color, promises well. There were good batches of cuttings in the propagating house and many were boxed and potted off. A batch of Freesia Purity in bloom was extra fine. There were also nice lots of cyclamens, azaleas, Lorraine begonias and other seasonable plants. These are mostly sold at retail, the bulk of the cut flowers going to the Park Street market. A powerful new steam boiler and many other additions have recently been made here, making the plant an up-to-date one.

Some 17,000 carnations are grown at William Nicholson's and I never saw them looking better. In whites Lady Bountiful is still largely grown and car- ries an immense crop. White Perfec- tion is the queen of its color. Some White Enchantress and Queen are also grown. Small lots of Sarah Hill and Marchioness were under trial. Harry Fenn does splendidly here. Octoroon is also grown. Sara Nicholson, Patten's new seedling, carried a heavy crop of fine bright crimson flowers. Enchantress and Fair Maid are grown, there still be- ing a good market for the latter. Eose- pink Enchantress is not liked so well as Winsor, the short stems on the latter be- ing the chief drawback. Winona is re- garded as one of the coming varieties. Afterglow is grown in considerable num- bers, but is not keeping up last year's reputation, the percentage of split flow- ers being heavier. Mrs. Patten is grown as a variegated and Beacon and Victory for scarlets. A number of other named varieties and seedlings are under trial. A sulphury yellow one of Domer's raising, with a rigid stem, took my eye. A small lot of Mrs. Burnett, an English variety, was noted. The color is a beautiful shade of flesh pink, deeper than Enchantress; the stems are, however, too short and the flowers produced too few. Large quantities of young stock were potted off or in flats and propagating benches were well filled. Mignonette is always well grown here, some of the spikes being immense. Marguerites are a leading specialty and yield a constant crop from Thanksgiving until June. Several houses are devoted to them. Single violets here, as else- where, were blooming sparsely. At J. T. Butterworth's, in South Fram- ingham, orchids continue to become more and more a specialty. Cattleyas are grown in increasing numbers and include many fine specimens in excellent health. C. TriansB was in good crop, one or two white forms being noted. C. Mossise, Harrisonifie, gigas, labiata and others are all grown in quantity. Quite a batch of Laelia anceps, a number being white forms, were flowering. Numerous Cyp- ripedium insigne were also flowering freely. Some Odontoglossum crispum were recently received and will be given a trial. Miltonia vexillaria, Odontoglos- sum grande, dendrobiums and other sorts were also doing nicely. A new scented calla, dwarfer in habit and with green stems, was pointed out. It seeriied quite distinct. Lily of the valley is a leading specialty here and is well done. Dutch and French bulbs are also grown in quantity. In carnations, Winsor, Fenn, Enchantress, Victory, Fair Maid and Queen were looking well. Various Notes. The Boston Cooperative Flower Grow- ers' Association will hold its next trade exhibition February 27 and 28 at Horti- cultural hall. A splendid prize list is being prepared and promises of exhibits have already been received from several distant states. Leonard Cousins, of Concord Junction, has an excellent Ught pink carnation in the way of Fair Maid, but of better form, which sells well at the Park Street market.

The cross between the early and late flowering sections has resulted in a mid-winter blooming sort, which will prove useful. A first-class certificate was awarded. Johnson & Neilson, of Framingham, have a splendid crop of sweet peas at present. Their carnations are also doing finely. William Thatcher will replace James Farquhar as a member of the plant and flower committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The executive committee of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club is arranging for a unique entertainment for ladies' night, January 19, when the new officers are to be installed. A big attendance is assured. The Boston Cooperative Flower Market will hold a trade exhibition about the end of February, open to all exhibitors and non-members will be made especially welcome, according to President Elijah Cartwright. The last year gave us a heavy excess in temperature over the normal and a de- ficiency of over ten inches in precipita- tion. Penn Bros., on Bromfield street, did the biggest Christmas trade in their his- tory, disposing of an immense quantity of cut flowers and plants. This up-to- date and enterprising firm always has an attractive window display and deserves the success achieved. W. N. Craiq. DETROIT. Tlie Market The new year began with a rush of business that was too much for this mar- ket, which has not recovered from the shock. The demand was heavy for cut flowers of all varieties. Neither roses nor carnations are any too plentiful at present. Eoses in par- ticular are quite scarce, causing the price to remain pretty stiff. Richmond and La Detroit range in price from 6 cents to 12 cents. White roses are few and far between. Paper White narcisei and Roman hya- cinths are helping out considerably. Various Notes. W. B. Brown was kept on the go last week with several decorations. One, in particular, at the Twentieth Century Club building, called for much southern smilax. Large baskets filled with south- ern smilax and poinsettias were suspend- ed from the ceiling, some of the smilax hanging quite low, producing a pretty effect. On the tables were centerpieces of holly and poinsettias. A. M. Patterson, father of Murray Patterson, died on the morning of De- cember 31. The month of December was the best the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange has had since being in business. Mr. Rahaley attributes this to the good stock they are handling and also to advertising in the Review. George Peters, for several years with the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House, has left for Chicago, where he will study for the ministry.

We can quote on aniEYAS, 60c and 75c LAELIA ANCEPS (pink), $5.00 per dozen. lAELIA ANCEPS ALBA (white), $6 per doz. The Laelias are splendid stock of those varieties; they average about three flowers to the stem. The white, in particular, are very fine. Gardenias We have had a good call for them lately. Our flowers have been fine, which we believe accounts for our large dales in that line. We most always have them in stock, and if not, can get them in a few hours from our growers. Roses Our supply in that direction is hard to beat. We have a large stock to select from, and we count among our growers some of the most successful ones in this section.

The Rising Eastern Market The cut flower market was decidedly unsettled during the Christmas holidays. There were some flowers sold at good prices, there were a good many flowers sold at moderate prices, and there were a few flowers sold at poor prices indeed. Pretty nearly everything sold at some price, however. The market gradually declined until New Year's, when a de- cided improvement was noticed, which was continued throughout Saturday and Monday, despite the mild, almost spring- like weather, which accelerated crops. « It is noteworthy that fashion's flowers, orchids, gardenias, violets, Beauties and Killarney, are most in demand, indicating that the ball and dinner season is in fjill swing. Mignonette also sells well, as do sweet peas, now in abundant supply. White flowers of nearly all varieties havo been in excess of the demand at one time or another during the week, despite the immense quantities used at a number of prominent funerals. Violets hardly seem in their winter stride yet, the warm weather of the fall having apparently checked production, especially in certain localities. The orchid class has been strengthened by the addition of the white and pink laelia. Gardenias have short- ened up a little, but are still in fair sup- ply. Valley is not so plentiful as during the holidays; the quality is fine, the demand fair. Bulbous flowers are selling rather bet- ter than usual at this time. This is especially true of Paper Whites, due pos- sibly to decreased production. Freesia has made its appearance in fine shape ; also campernelles. Trumpet Major is more plentiful. Easter lilies have been selling slowly. There is no change in tlie green market. The two leading varieties of flowers, roses and carnations, have been left until the last. Of carnations it may be said that really select stock is in demand at satisfactory prices. ^ The poorer grades hang badly. White 'has been overplenti- ful. Ked brings a shade more than pink, when nicely done. The prices in the rose market have fallen to a point where the buyers are taking hold with a will. All varieties are selling readily at good prices. Eichmond is preferred to Lib- erty, and Killarney to Maid. Short- stemmed flowers of all varieties are in especially brisk demand. A New Pompon. Through the courtesy of Eobert A. Craig, I am able to give Eeview readers a brief description of the new white chrysanthemum, Baby Margaret. Baby Margaret is a sport from the yellow Baby chrysanthemum, grown by the Eob- ert Craig Co. The sport was first noticed by Eobert A. Craig about four years ago. It is a fixed type, and even more vigorous than the well known yellow Baby. So popular has Baby Margaret proved with . all visitors to Forty-ninth and Market streets, and with those who have seen it on exhibition in the city, that it has been decided to send this promising new va- riety out this spring, Mr. Craig feels perfect confidence that all his claims for the little stranger will be fully verified. Qub Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Florists' Club was held at Horticultural hall on the evening of January 5. There was a general discussion of the Christmas busi- ness, led by Eobert Kift. Alphonse Pericat, who is the star orchid grower for the Pennock-Meehan Co., exhibited a handsome table of Cat- tleya Trianse, showing high culture. One spike had five large flowers. Joseph Heacock exhibited his new carnation, Dorothy Gordon, in good form. A Christmas G)mbination. Each and every one of our floral artists exercised taste and ingenuity in plant arrangements for Christmas gifts. Ericas, crotons, fancy ferns and pandanus, as well as many more, were used in combi- nations rare and pleasing. It is, how- ever, a wholesaler grower salesman's combination I wish to write about.

Co., conceived and successfully executed the idea of putting one 5-inch araucaria and four 4-inch Lorraine begonias in a 6-inch azalea pan. How he did it is best explained by the street car conductor's order, "Move up closer, please." The araucaria was about fifteen inches high above the pot, the begonias filled in be- tween the leaves. The pans sold well. Vaiiotw Notei. The Henry F. Michell Co. opened its new store at 518 Market street to the general public January 4. This handsome store is now entirely complete, and in excellent running order. The popular Frederick J. Michell is in charge. Many visitors were seen inside on the opening day. J. T. Montgomery, of Toughkenamon, Chester county. Pa., died January 1. The funeral took place January 4. Mr. Mont- gomery, who took Isaac Larkins' place about six years ago, was a regular ship- per to Eugene Bernheimer. George A. Strohlein, of Riverton, N. J., sailed from New York January 5 on the good steamer Kaiser Wilhelm the Grosse. J, Frank Hunter, who was for many years a well known figure in the whole- sale district of this city, is now with the Robert Craig Co. The Leo Niessen Co. reports the arrival of white and pink laelias, important addi- tions to the orchid class. Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. report that many of the collieries closed during the Christmas holidays, and resumed work December 30. M. Rice & Co. report the arrival of a large shipment of the popular Japanese air plants. The Johnson Seed Co. has received encouraging mail orders immediately following the issuing of the early cata- logue. Carl Corts, who represents the Joseph Heacoek Co., is one of the most impor- tant factors in the Killarney market today. Mr. Corts had 1,500 blooms of the Irish beauty on New Year's morning. Myers & Samtman have just filled a large order for the wood of My Mary- land from one of the prettiest nouses of this coming pink rose that one could wish to see. The funeral of "William L. Mathues, former state treasurer, at Media, Jan- uary 3, was the occasion for many hand- some floral offerings. A fireman, who^e name I do not recall, but who died from injuries received at his post of duty in a great Market street fire, was also de- servedly remembered by many persons who had cause to be grateful to him dur- ing the twenty-six years he spent in the fire department. Fancy freesia was seen this week at the store of W. E. McKissick & Bros. Albin Harvey & Sons, of Brandywine Summit, picked some exceptionally fine carnations during December. William Stevens, representing JoVn Burton, was an important person in the Christmas Beauty market. Campernelles and freesias have been added to the list at William J. Baker's this week, H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received further shipments of Easter goods on three incoming steamers. Many handsome baskets, horseshoes and other floral tokens were sent from this city to the opening of the State Legislature in Harrisburg on January 5. Most of the local stores report New Year's business as satisfactory, ahead of last year, though possibly not up to the good old days, when New Year's rivaled Christmas. Phil, John G. Gardner, a florist, on Cooper town road, above Ardmore, was informed December 30 by his daughter, Ethel, that on June 2 last she had married Oscar Murray, an electrician, in New York. As there was no parental objection to the match, the paternal blessing was imme- diately forthcoming, Mr. Gardner stating that the young couple had merely pre- ferred a quiet ceremony. 26 The Weekly Florists' Review.

NEVYOEK. ThtVLaket, The usiml midwinter calm, which al- ways succeeds the holidays, is here. There is hardly a ripple on the cut flower sea. Not a breath of winter is yet in evidence as the week opens, and the temperature is 50 degrees. While the west and north are powerless in the grip of blizzards and zero, here in New York we enjoy all the privileges of the sunny south, which Mr. Taft is making so congenial. But the gulf stream will soon change its course and we will get ours in storm and cold and grip, and coal bills, long before the robins nest again. Meantime we congratulate ourselves on the ideal climate and are proud of it. Everybody is happy, or ought to be, and the new year promises encoun\gement and prosperity for all. New Year's trade was quite satisfac- tory. There was not too much of any- thing, and prices were not advanced. Eetailers have only good words to say of the business done. The flowers and plants and elaborate box and basket con- ceptions sold rapidly and at almost Christmas prices. The week opens with light shipments and demand. Prices are lower and some predict quite a recession as the week progresses. A few anticipate greatly in- creased receipts. The plants have about recovered from the close cutting before the holidays; not long will anything be off crop and there will soon be enough of everything and to spare. Special Beauties fell to 75 cents and 60 cents January 2. Probably 50 cents will be top before the week ends. All other roses are now abundant and 12 cents is top for Maid and Bride. Kil- larney retains its remarkable popularity and Richmond is in wide demand. There is p, fuU supply of orchids, val- ley and lilies and carnations of every grade and variety, now perfect in qual- ity. There is too much smilax and as- paragus. Violets held up wonderfully all through the holidays and prices were even higher than expected. The present week will develop no ex- traordinary demand, but society func- tions are numerous and many elaborate dinners and receptions are announced. The leading retailers are all busy.

Next Monday night, January 11, the New York Florists' Club will hold its first session of the year. President-elect Hallock entertained the new and old officials and a few others Wednesday evening, January 6, at a dinner at Bardusch's Castle Cave, where methods were discussed, looking to the advance- ment and best interests of the club dur- ing 1909. A goodly number of New Yorkers will attend the carnation society's convention at Indianapolis. Secretary Young would be glad to have those who intend to go send in their names. It is possible spe- cial rates may be secured if the number is sufficient. At the poultry and cat show last week in Madison Square garden, one of the successful prize winners was the Stumpp & Walter Co. This firm has made a big success of its poultry department.

Zvolanek, of Bound Brook, got the best of an encounter between his buggy and an auto last week. Any- one else would have been killed by the collision.

A special prize of lily of the valley was won by Mrs. Donaldson and a handsome volume by Mrs. Siebrecht, Jr., who also won a box of candy, and won off the tie with Mrs. Miesem and Mrs. Doerhoefer. The high score was 125 by Mrs. Bleckwen. The men's prizes were won by Alfred Bleckwen and Herman Lorenz, and high scores were also made by Messrs. Miesem, Siebrecht, Donaldson, Kessler and Lorenz. W.

Nearly a dozen of the members of the Growers' Cut Flower Co. were in the city Saturday, January 2, attending the regu- lar meeting of the association. The violet growers at Ehinebeck are numerous and their combination approxi- mates 150" in membership. It is said they have the concentration bee buzz- ing and are considering the wisdom of confining shipments to a limited number of the New York wholesalers. J. Austin Shaw. LEXINGTON, KY. The Market. Business has been good since the holi- days. Carnations are the best sellers at present and the quality is good. Roses sell fairly well and are of good quality. Some callas, violets, lilies, sweet peas, lily of the valley and stevia of fairly good quality are on the market. Bulbous stock, such as Paper Whites, Eoman hyacinths, etc., is plentiful. Some fu- neral work every now and then helps to clean out the short-stem stock. The year of 1908 was better than 1907, and we are inclined to believe that this year will be still better. Various Notes. James P. Keller says business since the holidays has kept up well with him. Lucien Leclere and his assistant, George Godfrey, are busy these days. Anderson & White continue to be busy. Their greenhouses are looking well. August Leclere, at the asylum, is cut- ting Ivory and Golden Gate roses of good quality. He also has some good azaleas in bloom, which are used in the wards and hospital. Henry Ballard, of J. A. Keller's, has returned from a trip to the eastern part of the state.

Most people are stil discussing Christ- mas business, and as it is always so much better than New Year's, they do not con- sider New Year's much or make much special preparation for it. However, it was about up to the average and the month of December closed much better than any month for a year. There has been considerable doing all the week and Saturday night found everybody tired out, without much desire to talk. The brighter weather has brought in some fine flowers, especially Killarney, which are in fine color, and when the color is good there is nothing better, un- less it will be the My Maryland, which are to be shown at the club meeting Tuesday night, but I will tell you of that next week.

One thing is sure; the retailers and decorators might make manj improvements in their methods of doing business, for most of them readily admit that they are doing too much work on which there is little or no profit. There has been some complaint that the club does not take this matter up, but the Florists' Club here is composed largely of gardeners and growers, the store men not being so numerous or active, so noth- ing is likely to come from that source. These people will have to work it up among themselves. David Geddis, Homestead, Pa., has gone into involuntary bankruptcy. The store is running under the direction of a receiver until such a time as it can be sold as a whole, and as there are sev- eral prospective buyers it is believed that the creditors will fare reasonably well. Jos. E. Bonsall, Salem, 0., was an after-Christmas visitor; also W. H. Smith, of Deyoe & Co., Oil City, Pa, S. C. Robens, formerly of Cleveland, has purchased the business of H. C. Bucheler, of Sewickley, Pa. Hoo-Hoo. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE So increasingly disposed has the public been to ask and receive the aid of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and so large have been the new fields of work assigned to it by congress, that the num- ber of employees has increased enor- mously in the last dozen years. July 1, 1897, 2,444 persons were employed, and eleven years later, in 1908, the number was 10.420, or over four times as many. Upon localizing this increase, it appears that the number of employees of the Weather Bureau increased from 1,075 to 1,705; of the Bureau of Animal Indus- try from 777 to 3,152; of the Bureau of Plant Industry from 127 to 976; Forest Service from 14 to 3,753; Bureau of Chemistry from 20 to 425; and small increases in other bureaus and offices. It is significant to note that the increase in number of employees is mostly due to service outside of Washington, in all parts of the country. The number of persons employed within Washington is 2,488, and elsewhere 7,932. In 1896 the Department of Agricul- ture was made up of two bureaus and a number of divisions. Seven other bu- reaus have since been organized and the work of the secretary's office has been developed into divisions. The general change to bureau organization has great- ly facilitated the work, which has rap- idly grown in volume and in efficiency. There has been developed a remarkable force of scientists, administrators, and helpers. According to Secretary Wilson, the number of seasoned workers now ready to administer the research, the police functions, and the business of the department is sufficient for any reason- able demand for new work. Texarkana, Ark. — A. W. Ardis, of the Stegall Floral Co., says Christmas trade was the best ever, both in cut flowers and plants. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. AdTerttsements under this head one cent a word.

Ratcliff and B. P. Dorough. Shipments from "the other side" are, as usual, quite behindhand in many cases. This causes considerable annoyance to the American seedsman who wants to fill his early orders in full. Seed bean crops harvested in 1908 were far below the average and the mill- ing and hand picking process now going on shortens them even more than the most pessimistic grower anticipated. The short deliveries of beets and some other standard varieties of garden seeds that are being made by the foreign houses is making itself felt and, as the season advances, is likely to cause con- siderable worry. There is a shortage of many of the named sorts of sweet peas, according to reports. Sweet pea . prices have been low for some years back; too low for profit to the grower, apparently, and a lessened supply it is thought will bring things back to where they should be. In a short time the January onion set orders will be moving out. It is reported that so far the onion sets have kept well. Future values depend upon whether the shrink is much or little, and this point cannot be determined definitely until the sets are taken from the piles and run through the mills. When this has been done the spring values of onion sets can be estimated. C. C. MORSE & CO. 48-66 jaekson St.. Sail rraDclscOy Cal.

BuDOLPH FiscHEB, the California freesia bulb grower, is on a visit to his old home in Germany. The prices of peas are quite high in all of the seed books so far at hand. Bean prices are comparatively low. Visited Chicago: Chas. P. Braslan, of Braslan Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal.; Arthur Clark, of E. B. Clark Seed Co., Milford, Conn. At present there seems to be a lull in the demand for onion seed suitable for set planting. Some of the growers have arranged for seed and some are awaiting developments. There is a fear in the minds of the growers that the low priced seed is not wlmt they want and their lack of faith in Ihe integrity of the brokers who are offering it is helping the legiti- mate dealers. SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. The whole seed trade seems to be pretty well united in the belief that it would be of mutual benefit all around to change the tariff schedules on all seeds and bulbs from ad valorem to specific duty. A more representative committee of all seed interests could hardly have been gathered together than was done December. 2, at the- Astor House, New York. There were present: Watapn S. Woodruff, Orange, Conn., president of the American Seed Trade Association; J. C. Vaughan, Chicago, chairman of the committee on customs and tariff; "Wil- liam Henry Maule, Philadelphia; W. U.. Grenell, Pierrepont Manor, N. Y., mem- bers of the same committee; Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia; Henry Nungesser, New York; Charles H. Breck, of Joseph Breck & Sons, Boston; Lem. W. Bowen and K. B. White, of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit. We believe that if the committee's work is supplemented by personal appeal to our congressmen, quoting some of our experiences as the result of the present system, we will succeed in having the change made. There is no question that the change is reasonable as well as prac- ticable. C. E. Kendel, Sec'y. IMPORTS.

Last year's Dreer catalogue was enlarged at nearly double the usual cost to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the house ; this year's book goes the 1908 book sixteen pages better and there is no change in any feature, save the improvement of the color plates. A departure is the incorporation of a large number of cultural notes, for which there is a special index on the first page of the catalogue. Such writers as Will- iam Falconer, George W. Oliver, W. C. Egan, Prof. Bailey and Eben E. Rex- ford contribute the cultural matter. TENERIFFE. Gem of the Atlantic Nature's hand has given a rather odd appearance to the island of Teneriffe. For all the world, it bears a great resem- blance to an enormous shoulder of mut- ton, the broader part of which faces the southwest, and the thinner part points to the northeast. The island is thirty-one miles wide and fifty-two miles long. Its geographical location is 28° 30" north latitude, 15° 9" west of Greenwich. In olden times it was believed that Paradise had been located in this island, but there are so many contradictions on the sub- ject that I leave this important question to be discussed by better authorities than myself. The majestic Peak of Teneriffe is just on the broadest part of the island and seems to emerge from the sea as a huge pointed beam supporting the sky. The great peak, 12,000 feet high, is an incomparable sight. Covered with snow at the top during the summer months, its brownish silhouette, thrust on a clear blue background, impresses the beholder with the awful greatness of this stalwart sen- tinel in the middle of the deep, deep sea. It is a grand sight from Puerto Cruz, where the temperature is not above that of Florida spring months. The mountain is a volcano still in ac- tivity, although, fortunately for us, it only throws out sulphurous vapors. How- ever, from time to time we feel the com- motions of our old father Christmas in the shape of slight seismic movements, just as a gentle reminder that he is there presiding over the destinies of the island. We may boast of the fact that the great Cardinal Eichelieu summoned a confer- ence to induce European powers to rec- ognize the Peak of Teneriffe as the common meridian. A long stretch of the northern part of the island obtains a never exhausted supply of good water from the huge basin of the Canadas at the foot of the peak, and from the melting snow of the mountain. No water is wasted here, and all there is available is collected and brought down to the lowlands by means of open channels running along the top of stone walls, and by means of dams expressly built to enclose the waters rush- ing down in the rainy season through the ravines and gorges of the secondary ridge of mountains. The Dragon Tree. The famous dragon tree is Dracaena drago. This plant is a native of the Canary Islands, and a remarkable peculiar- ity about it is, that the dead branches serve as a support for the tufts or crowns, the roots of which encircle and conceal the original stem. These stems gradually rot away inside. The roots DREER'S SUPERB DOUBLE PETUNIAS For half a century we have been making a specialty of DODBUB PETUNIAS, and our Btrain is accepted as Becond to none, either here or in Europe.

The directors claim that in working out their estimate of profits they have added considerably to the generally-accepted rate of cost of production, and they anticipate that a net profit of at least £300 per acre can be realized, and, in view of the fact that more than seventeen acres will be sub- mitted to this branch of the company's business, that would mean a net profit of £5,100 from this source alone, or suf- ficient to pay a dividend of ten per cent on the capital of the company." LITERATURE OF THE SEED TRADE Burpee's Farm Annual, often referred to as "the leading seed catalogue of America," is of importance as affording conclusive evidence that it is not abso- lutely necessary for such a utilitarian volume to be a mere illustrated price list and devoid of human interest. Indeed, the wonderful growth of the Burpee busi- ness, the largest mail-order seed trade in the world, seems to prove that, purely on the bu»ness side, an infusion of red blood and real life is a good thing for the house as well as for those into whose hands the Annual falls. Henry Field- ing's philosophical introduction to "Toin Jones," entitled "An essay to prove that an author will write the better for hav- ing some knowledge of the subject on which he writes," is brought to mind by the sustained note of enthusiasm which is so marked a feature of the Farm Annual, and by the human interest ele- ment in its pages — such as the brief story of little Asta Ohn and the new sweet pea that bears her name. The author of the Farm Annual is entitled to a place in literature, for few so well as he can put into the printed page, and transmit to his readers, his own en- thusiasm for the garden.

Thi^ event brings out the city's best and rare beauty and taste are always found here. The striking feature of the event in the way of dress and effect was the old-fash- ioned bouquet carried by the ladies, made up closely of small flowers and closed up tight with a fancy frill holder. The following day the papers mentioned it freely, so no doubt there will be a run of this bouquet.

PACIFIC COAST. THE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA. The dry, frosty weather which has held a good portion of the Pacific coast in its clutches for the last few weeks, is a condition much dreaded by the nursery- man. This is especially true of the grower who devotes all or a part of his land to the raising of young stock from either cuttings or small seedlings. While we had in most sections moisture enough last month to make plowing possible, in other places shallow plowing and culti- vating had to be' resorted to to get the land in such condition that anything might be done. In such a season the grower is always between two fires. If he plants too early and there is not enough rain in the near future, his cuttings or young seedlings will dry out. Should he have plenty of confidence and wait and keep his cut- tings trenched where they will have mois- ture enough for a few weeks, and the ex- pected rain does not materialize, then by virtue of the fact that his stock will have calloused well and sprouted at the same time, he must needs plant them out to keep them from smothering. If, on the other hand, we have an excess of rainfall and the land is not perfectly drained, the young cuttings, unless they be of the easiest grown plants, will rot at the end of the stems and another season's growth will be lost. If the rain delays too long in arriving and comee at the season when longer days and brighter sun are the rule, then the planter has to be even more careful, especially when the rainfall sud- denly ceases and is replaced by drying winds in the early spring. This brings on a condition when the ground will be too wet to cultivate one day and too dry and hard the following day. Where growers have their own system of irrigating, they are spared many of these trials and can regulate the mois- ture when nature uses poor judgment in its disbursement. But to the ordinary tree and plant grower it is an endless worriment — whether to plant or not to plant, and whether the weather will con- tinue dry or will ever be dry enough so as to get on the ground at all. G. SAN FRANOSCO. The Market. This is the evening of the last day of the year and the stirring events that are just over will be but a memory in a few days. Christmas came and went in a blaze of glory, as far as the florists' trade was concerned. There has been some complaining from other lines of trade, where the assertion was made that the sales were not up to expectations. I refer to dealers in the more expen- sive articles of dress and jewelry. From these admissions it is fair to assume that many purchasers of Christmas gifts who considered themselves unable to af- ford an elegant jewel, or some such ar- ticle, contented themselves with spending a few dollars for a bunch of roses or carnations, or a handsome fern or palm in a jardiniere. This remark was over- heard in many of the retail florists' es- tablishments and seems to be an index to conditions here. This, of course, does not refer to high-priced trade, but the b\ilk of business is made up in most cases from peoJUe who have been affected Largest stock of up-to-date varieties ever Kfrown in Loomls. Remember, we grow plants only for the cuttings You Ket tbe entire strength of the plant in our cuttings. We also have cuttings from soil for spring delivery.

After the clean-up, it is safe to say that all the dealers, both wholesale and retail, in the neighborhood of San Fran- cisco were well satisfied with the cut flower business. In reference to the gross receipts, as compared with those of last year, a general opinion seems to put them slightly larger. Stock of all kinds was only in fair supply and it has become, if anything, scarcer since Christmas. We have had considerable frost and but little sunshine, and as a result we are not showing much in the floral way at pres- ent. The price of flowers is practically unchanged and the demand for New Year's has further helped to keep the supply away down. Although there has been no great amount of rushing incidental to New Year's trade, there is a healthy inquiry for good stuff, which the retailers are having not a little trouble to fill. Fu- neral orders have made heavy inroads into everything that is light colored enough to be used, and violets have proven to be a friend in need to the poor florist who finds himself in a pinch. Various Notes. Jean Mialocq, the well-known land- scape gardener, has returned to San Francisco after an absence of a year, spent in Europe. J. M. Stark, formerly of Fresno, Cal., is now located at Berkeley, Cal. W. G. Marshall, the Fresno nursery- man, is in town on a few days' visit. C. C. Morse & Co. have purchased a large tract of land near Hayward, Cal., and will devote it to their growing de- partment. Miss L. B. Penniman will shortly open a retail store in Berkelej, CaL The Bay Tree Nursery Co. has opened a sales yard on Telegraph avenue, Oak- land. G. LOS ANGELES, CAL. I have seen it stated that the compe- tition of the Japanese gardeners does not hurt the trade at large, but I think any who are of that opinion are not growers of plants. The truth is, the com- petition of the Japanese has hurt the nurserymen of this vicinity to a more than slight extent. They have caused overproduction in plants, palms and shade trees, resulting in cutting prices in two. Last year the trade stopped patronizing the Japanese to a great extent, with the result that the Japanese started peddling. They have about twenty wagons going . : iJJF^wnn^p'W, V*! •'•fH'if.?'?^'^ ■ 1WjJl!!i»f*F77».4^Mj]|-fi;p«! .» ■^yjr-'.'-:'^«;'y.»'T^ ))i':7TT'»»T'nT^ ■ .^■TTv;i. >s(iii^w.l>, ~ •JT^TKif ■-» '■* '■■"-•M*- "/»fyi».' -r V •.'A'.--. ^ ' January 7, 1909.

Fredeeick Haussmann. GREVILLEA THELEMANNIANA. Is it possible to handle Grevillea Thelemanniana without a great loss after rooting? I am in the market to know. I can root them easily enough h6re in southern California, but when it comes to potting, my troubles begin. I put in soil of three parts loam, one part sand and one part well rotted manure, in 2-inch pots, then stand these on a bench which has a little bottom heat, in a house at 70 degrees day and 50 to 65 degrees night temperature. I handle roses the same and lose a great many. I do not plunge and water every day. Please put me on the right road if there is one. C. G. Grevillea Thelemanniana is one of the most beautiful trees grown and is some- what delicate to handle until extra well rooted. I have had the best success with them by letting the cuttings remain sev- eral weeks in the bed after they are ap- parently ready to pot. Trim the tops back after they are potted and do not keep them too wet. I do not use any manure in the soil, preferring to mix one- half sand, one-quarter leaf -mold and one- quarter loam. Keep the young plants well shaded during the day, but give them some ventilation at the same time. The temperature is all right at night, but I am inclined to keep it about 65 de- grees during the day, if this is possible to do. I have had the same trouble as C. G. many times, but I finally concluded that I did not allow the cuttings to remain long enough in the cutting bed and also that I was inclined to overwater them. Recently I have had no trouble with G. Thelemanniana, or rose cuttings either, although it is a constant worry with our changeable climatic conditions. Watering and ventilation depend so much on the changes in the weather that any stated rules cannot be made that will cover dark, foggy and bright, sunshiny days at the same time, although we get sev- eral of each usually every week during this season of the year.

Please give me directions as to grow- ing holly from seeds. Should holly ber- ries be washed and frozen! Can seed be planted outdoors, or what is the quick- est and best way to get seed to germi- nate and grow? B. G. To have success with holly seeds, they should be mixed now with damp soil in a box, the box placed outdoors or in a cold cellar and kept there until next autumn. The seeds are then washed out and sown in a bed outdoors and seedlings may be looked for in the spring following. The seeds would not grow next spring were they sown now. Thomas Me£han & Sons. BERBERIS THUNBERGIL There are few, if any, perfectly hardy shrubs of so much value for outdoor orna- mentation as Berberis Thunbergii. When planted so as to form a hedge, it re- mains all summer neat, compact and yet luxuriant. Later, when the rigors of winter strip almost everything else of its beauty, Berberis Thunbergii seems only to shed its leaves in order to give full display to the many clusters of beautiful berries with which it is adorned. This plant not only looks well in hedged form, but in groups it is exceedingly effective. The demand for it is constantly on the increase. D. M. JAPANESE MAPLES. It takes a long time for a Japanese maple, if small when planted, to make much of an impression as a specimen singly.

MY MARYLAND This new rose, which was introduced last season in a limited way, has proved to be one of the best roses ever introduced. Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the largest, most progressive aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties for indoor cul- ture; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

The manure can be spread on three inches deep and turned under a foot or so. A night tem- perature of 40 to 42 degrees is sufficient- ly high for lettuce. The day readings may run up to 20 to 25 degrees higher than this with sun heat, but should not exceed 50 degrees on cloudy days. Let- tuce requires careful watering in winter. Even if the surface soil is powdery, if that containing the roots is moist, it is better not to water. Your soil evidently is retentive of moisture and great care must be used in applying water. Have you ever tried sterilization of the soil for your crops? A large number of the leading lettuce growers now steril- ize all their beds and find that the ab- sence of disease and general excellence of crops well repay them for the labor and expense incurred. I think steriliza- tion would be of great benefit to your soil. C.

The outlook is decidedly good for better business from now on, with an extra good spring trade. Varioua Notes. The State Florists' Association will hold its annual meeting January 12, when oflBcers will be elected for the en- suing year. A full attendance is desired, as besides the election there will be much business of interest brought before the meeting. It will be held at the State House at 2:30 p. m. The carnation convention is about all one hears these days, and with good cause, as its success is assured. Plenty of cash and good committees in charge will make anything boom. Besides, the first exhibit has already been received; it is rather previous, but it shows what interest is taken in the convention by people as far off as New Jersey. We hope the exhibit will be duplicated, as, though the shipment was made too soon, the flowers arrived in fine shape and we wish Mrs. Mary S. Fleming better luck next time with her pink namesake.

The Market This has been the dullest week since before Thanksgiving, with retailers who cater to the cut flower trade, but down- town business has been active, with a large and steady demand for all kinds ■of funeral designs. There was an enor- mous amount of good stock at reason- able prices. The weather has continiied fair, with an occasional cold spell which lasted only for a day or two. Stock in general is excellent. First-class carna- tions are abundant. Enchantress has the largest sale now. Each week shows an improvement in this class of carna- tions. White Perfection and Queen are now being produced in quantity by many growers who have become better acquaint- ed with these supert) flowers. Lawson has been totally discarded by many grow- ers. Eoses have maintained their good qualities and, although plentiful, prices are anywhere from 4 to 8 cents. An even demand for Beauties utilizes all stock. There has been an increase in the sale for pot plants, especially short poin- settias and ferns. Various Notes. Wm. Halliday is erecting a new house for pot plants, 20x100, on Liberty Heights avenue. Chas. Hamilton is having a new pack- ing shed erected, 25x250, which is to con- nect to each house. Mr. Hamilton does a heavy shipping business in rooted stock of all kinds.

Y. «0 The Weekly Florists' JRcvietv. Januabt 7, 1009. ST. PAUL. The Market. With ideal weather prevailing, holiday trade was the best on record. One no- ticeable feature was the increased sale of plants. Well grown poinsettias in pans went on sight. Cyclamens well filled with flowers made a great hit. Azaleas were in good demand and well filled baskets sold remarkably well. The high price of cut flowers diverted many a good order to the plant section. In cut flowers, carnations really took the lead. Violets were also popular, while the interest in cut poinsettias at $6 per dozen seemed to be perceptibly smaller than last year. American Beauties sold well; $20 per dozen at retail seemed to be the top notch price. Sales averaged larger than ever before and there were fewer complaints on account of frozen stock. Ideal conditions prevailed all the week, and this new year will have to "go some" to beat last year's record. Various Notes. All florists in the state are invited to the annual meeting of the State Agri- cultural Society, at the fair grounds, this city, January 12 at 8 p. m. Aug. S. Swanson has prepared a paper to be read at that meeting. J. J. Karins, of Henry H. Dreer, Inc., was a caller during the week, on his way to the Pacific coast. Other callers were: A. N. Kinsman, of Austin; G. A. Clau- sen, of Albert Lea, and W. H. Hart, of Owatonna. X. Y. Z. MINNEAPOLIS. The Market The old year went out sharp and cold and the inroads on the coal bins made the grower wonder where his holiday profits were going to. Stock continues plentiful and good. Prices kept up for New Year's, though the demand was not nearly so great as at Christmas. Bulbous stock is well on the market now and is not as short as in recent years. The de- mand for plants seems greater this year than in previous seasons. Various Notes. Miss Whitted had a number of bou- quets for New Year's eve, and though she was handicapped by an accident to the auto delivery, orders were got out and business was good. Eice Bros, find out-of-town trade first- class, and stock plentiful. C. Johnson, of the Powers Mercan- tile Co., revels in new fixtures for his flower department. The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting some excellent violets. M. E. M. ROOTED CARNATION CUTTINGS A pelectlon from 20 varieties. (For early Jan- uary delivery, and later.) Every one reliable.

Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. Tbe flower is 4H inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in tbe center and bas a wide guard petal with stiffness tbat gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and tbe petals being stiffer, it keeps and sbips much better than tbe above variety.

Tbe habit is ideal: closely resembles Enchant- ress, but produces more flowers. Oan be grown either from the field or inside all summer. Likes a temperature of 50 to 62. The stem is 24 inches and over, holds tbe flower up gracefully at all times of tbe year. It gives good stems tbe flrst crop.

Tbe size of tbe flower is S to Sifl inches, with a grand form, built up well in the center, having tbe 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 fleld or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 60 to 62. Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. Tbe stem is 24 to 80 inches, and the flrst crop is very stiff, but holds up the flower gracefully at all times of tbe year.

It is a little late to talk about Christ- mas, two weeks after the event, but it may interest the trade to know that in Grand Hapids business was good, fully equal to that done in 1907 and some re- port a slight gain. Plants sold well, al- though there were more than enough for all demands. Cut flowers cleaned up well. Out-of-town buyers held off from placing orders early and the shipping trade came with a rush and exceeded that of last year. Henry Smith did a little better than in 1907, cut flowers selling out close, but with plenty of plants to fill all orders. He made a hit with poinsettia plants. Eli Cross is well satisfied with his trade. Ho was lucky in having a house of Beacon in full crop. He did a big holly and green trade. The Grand Rapids Floral Co. sold heavily on plants and had not a flower left, unless bulb stock. Wm. Cunningham did better than he expected and ran more to plants than cut flowers. Chas. Chadwick, in spite of his re- moval from Monroe to a side street, was agreeably surprised at the good business. Bruinslot & Sons had a nice lot of late mums that hit Christmas right. Their business was as good as in 1907. Miss Hartnett had a fine trade and says business was better than in 1907. She sold mostly cut flowers. The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. re- ports the best Christmas in many years. Paul Goebel sold out clean. Crabb & Hunter enjoyed a good trade, being cleaned out of everything in both cut flowers and plants. James Schols sold out clean on violets and could have sold many more. Chas. W. Garfield has been elected a director of the Grand Rapids Greenhouse Co., in place of Frank Strong, who re- cently died. G. F. C.

This is the first importation ever received in the United States, to our knowledge, and we feel sure you will not want to let this rare opportunity go by, in securing at least a few plants of this lovely Cattleya. Being so scarce for the past 15 years, we herewith give you a description of it. A distinct and free flowering species, pseudo-bulbs 12 to 15 inches long, compressed and furrowed, generally of a reddish brown. Flowers 4 to 5 inches across, similar in form to C. Skinneri, but intense rosy purple, and a valuable addition to our spring flowering Cattleyas. Nothing' excites the admiration more than to see a plant of this lovely Cattleya in full bloom. We are putting it on the market at the low figure quoted below, and have only 250 plants to dispose of, so you must speak quickly should you require any.

The Market The holiday trade in Denver was high- ly satisfactory. Some dealers report an increase over last year's business, some as high as ten to fifteen per cent bet- ter, and last year was about the best for many seasons. Prices this year were about the same, or in some instances per- haps a trifle lower. Stock was compara- tively plentiful and the quality uniformly good. The only scarcity in cut flowers was in medium-priced Beauties and in Eichmond roses at any price. Carnations were more plentiful, per- haps, for Christmas than in some years. Consequently the prices were not high, the stock retailing for $1, $1.50 and $2 per dozen, and the quality was good. Ked was the only color that was scarce. Even white roses sold well. Holly and green were not handled as much as in previous years; neither was the wreathing used as plentifully. The plant trade was good and seemed to be in the lead everywhere. The qual- ity, too, was generally good. Azaleas, perhaps, sold the best, and some fine specimens were seen. The only scarcity was in medium-priced ones. The varie- ties most sought after were the old fa- vorite, Simon Mardner, and Hexe. Poinsettias went slowly, not averaging up in quality with those brought in last year. Their day has passed apparently, as a leading Christmas plant. Cyclamens were, perhaps, the best plants on the market and they moved lively, the quality being the finest for many seasons. JSot many novelties appeared; in fact, the customers were not looking for them. Taking it all in all, the holiday trade was satisfactory to nearly everybody. Since Christmas there has not been so much stock on the market and the de- mand has been fairly good. Carnations seem none too plentiful and hold fairly firm in price. Of violets there is about the usual quantity, and enough to go around. The Walter & Hill Floral Co. has dis- continued its store, Mr. Walter going back to his greenhouses. E. S. K.

Undoubtedly. God "cares" for all things on earth, in that He is solicitous for their welfare, but for a gardener that other motto, "The Lord helps those who help themselves," would be better borne in mind. No amount of faith in proverbs will take the place of work! Work and knowing how. Many a man has visited some com- petitor's place and admired the perfect condition of everything without in the least appreciating the means by which the results were obtained — he thought, if he. thought about it at all, that it just happened so. But it didn't. It is only in the disorderly places that things "just happen. ' ' * ' God cares for the flowers.

We are just completing a greenhouse, 10x100 feet, and wish to heat it with hot water. The house has brick walls four feet high and measures seven feet to the ridge. What size of flow pipe under the ridge, and how many feet of 4-inch pipe under the benches, will be required to heat this house for geraniums, in Mich- igan climate? Should the pipes that con- nect the flow to the returns be the same size as the flow? B. J. If you wish to use 4-inch pipe, which I should not do unless I had the pipe on hand, the house in question should be provided with five lines of pipe, using one flow and four returns, or, if you prefer, two flows and three returns. If you use one flow, it can be used to feed a manifold containing three returns on one side of the house and one on the same side as the flow. If two flows are used, they may serve one side and one may be divided to feed two returns on the opposite side, while the other may be carried entirely around the house. Neither of these schemes is as good, in my judg- ment, as to use 2-inch and 3-inch mal- leable pipe, placing a 3-inch riser under the ridge and four 2-inch returns under each side bench ^ fed from the one riser. The riser would be carried from the boiler to the far end of the house and there divided by 2i^-inch or 3-inch pipe to feed a manifold on each side contain- ing four 2-inch returns. Then you wouU connect an expansion tank by means of a %-inch or 1-inch pipe to the main re- turn close to the boiler, and carry it twelve or fifteen feet above the highest point in the system. F. R. CARNATIONS WITH ASPARAGUS. I am planning to buUd a greenhouse in the spring, 20x100, and I wish to use part of the middle bench for smilax and Asparagus plumosus nanus. Now, which end of the bench would you advise me to use for this?

How should I arrange the benches and what size of pipes should I use? How many and what kind of pipes are the best, and what size of pipe should the flow be, for hot water? Do you think, if the sides of the house are five and a half feet to the eaves, that there should be glass on the sides? Where should the pipes be put? On the walls of the house and beside the walks? How high should they be placed? Is it neces- sary to have an expansion tank? I am located in Oregon. M. C. J. If you wish to make carnations a main crop, I believe as good a plan as can be followed is to place all benches on the ground. Use only about four inches of drainage and five or six inches of soil for the asparagus, and about a foot of drainage and six inches of soil for the carnations. This will allow the use of plank or concrete sides for beds. The piping can be distributed on the side walls and on the purlin supports. For such a house a 3-inch riser under the ridge and twelve 2-inch returns, six on each side wall, or four on each side wall and two on each of two lines of purlin supports four or five feet from the ground, should give satisfaction. . Place the expansion tank twelve or fifteen feet above the high point in the system and connect with the main return near the boUer. L. C. C. I LiKB the Review very much.

The Market The business following the big Christ- mas rush was fairly good among the retailers and the New Year turned out to be a pretty good day. Since then there has been considerable activity among the west end florists, with a good deal of social work, and we hear of a number of good sized weddings, recep- tions and dinner parties booked for thiis month. A number of downtown florists also report quite a good demand for New Year's in cut flowers, but, of course, nothing like a week ago, when we all had our hands full of all kinds of orders. Prices on stock at the wholesale houses have fallen off greatly since the holidays and the supply is quite large, with good demand, but not enough to clean up. The shipping trade has kept up pretty well. Koses are becoming more abun- dant in all grades and varieties. Carna- tions are of the best quality and plenty/' of them. White and light pink are iu good demand. Violets, too, have suf-l fered in price since the holidays.

Last week's trade was such that stock of all kinds sold first-class, and the florist had no chance to stock up again after the Christmas trade. The New Year's trade this year was considered by most of the florists much better than that of last year. There is a good supply of stock at present, which sells well. Pros- pects for business in 1909 look most promising, and so far trade has been very satisfactory. The weather is warm and this means a great deal to the coal pile. Business throughout the month of De- cember was good. Various Notes. The Dayton Florists' Club will have its New Year's banquet January 11, at the Phillips house. The men, being too busy to make plans for the event, have left the entire arrangements to the ladies, who are exercising their best judgment to please the gentlemen on this occasion. It is certain, however, that the men will not be too busy to take time to partake of the spread. Mrs. Elizabeth Young is general chairman over the ladies, while the decorating committee consists of Miss Minnie Johnson, Miss Ruby Bartholomew and Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs.

Christmas trade was the best that we have had for anany years. Every florist seems to be well pleased with the sales. Plants sold well. There never has been such sale on poinsettias as this year, and by New Year's day there was hardly a dozen of good ones left in the city. Gloire de Lorraine sold well and the de- mand was greater than the supply. Cy- clamens sold well, but the supply was short. Few primroses were offered, as they were a little late. There was also a good demand for roses, with the supply equal to the de- mand. Eed roses were more plentiful this year than in any previous year and they sold well. Richmond roses took the place of American Beauties in a good many places. Carnations sold well. The supply was equal to the demand. The high prices kept the department stores from handling any carnations and this gave the florists a chance to do a good business. Holly was plentiful. The supply of wild smilax was greater than the demand. There is plenty to be had at this date, out of cold storage, and it sold at $4.50 per 50-pound crate. Green roping was well cleaned up. The supply was not so great as last year. The demand is drop- ping off every year and wild smilax is taking its place. Mistletoe was plentiful and there was more sold this year than usual. Violets were rather scarce and sold at $2 a bunch. Some fine ones were shipped in from Chicago. Roman hya- cinths were not so plentiful. Narcissi were plentiful and sold well. W. H. H.

We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock only lasted about four years, while so far we have had no Pecky Cypress rot out in ten or twelve yeais. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose. BASSETT & WASHBURN."

If there is no chance to make money in a business you will have no competitors. The florist who wants to make money, and that includes all of them, should build green- houses that produce profits, as well as stock. If you have never really, thoroughly looked into the details of the Cypress Green- house that we are selling, you ought to. No trouble for us to take the matter up any time, but now is the time to buy. Get one of our Catalogs today. John C NoDJoger Co. 189 E. Blackhawk Street CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write.

"rm iSStiiX'mf^**- NOTE what the oldest florists in the City of Chicago have to say about our construction. CAN YOU speak likewise of your wooden construction ? IF NOT, why are you again contemplating using wooden gutters in your new houses ? BECAUSE you have not written us for our prices, and are therefore of the opinion that our semi-iron house is much more expensive. This idea is entirely wrong. Although we do not claim to be able to gell you one of our semi- iron houses for less than you can buy an all cypress house, still we do claim that the extra light, saving of crops from drip, non-breakage of glass, quickness in disposing of snow off roof of house and last but not least, that they will last indefinitely, and will not have to be replaced within 12 years, will more than compensate the small extra cost.

PROSPEROUS YEAR BEFORE THE TRADE mE 1 ^•fer»>■^^•^^»^: I THE CONSENSUS OF OPINION IS THAT ALL FLORISTS SHOULD PROSPER THIS YEAR. BROSPERITY ia rampant in the West, and no -wonder, for the farms and the mines are both mostly in the West. The soil gave to the people of this country in 1908, $7,778,000,000 of new agricultural wealth and nearly $2,000,000,000 of new mineral wealth — to be spent, either at first or at later hand, in 1909. The florists of the West "did not know there was a panic," to use their own expression, and those of the East report the clouds of depression rolling away, though not as rapidly as would be liked in some manufacturing centers. It is apparent from the following extracts from letters recently received by the Review that the depression of 1908 was most felt in the East, especially the cities and manufacturing towns. Here is what some florists say: Alabama* Mobile. — ^Money was a little scarce last year and an unusually large propor- tion of business was done on a credit basis. We have good hopes, however, of a first-class spring trade. — Minge Flo- ral Co. Birmingham. — The outlook for 1909 is all that could be desired. The bad effects of the general business depres- sion, which were still noticeable last fall, seem to have disappeared since then. — William M. Lindsay. Montgomery. — We believe that pros- pects are excellent, and we have showed our faith in the future by moving into a new store, where we will have much more space and much better facilities for business. — W. B. Paterson. Arkansas. LiTTLB Bock. — We consider the out- look good. The business depression does not trouble us.— J. W. Vestal & Son. California. Santa Cruz. — The future looks ex- ceedingly bright. As to whether the effects of ihe panic were helpful or hurt- ful to the holiday trade, I don't know. Something helped, for trade was cer- tainly lively. — W. E. Kino. Colorado. Colorado Springs.— ^We feel no effect of last year's panip. — Frank Hayden. BouLDER.-^Prospects never were bet- ter than now, though the effects of the general depression were noticeable as late as last fall. — CharlDs F. Fawcett. Connecticut. Greenwich. — The outlook for spring trade is good, though we may not yet have fully recovered from the effects of the financial trouble. — MacMillen & Co. New Britain.— Still feel a little ef- fect of the off year and don't feel quite certain of 1909. — Carl Lorensen. New London. — We expect to do a larger business here in 1909 than ever before. The panic made cut flowers a little less profitable here, but apparently did not affect plant sales. — Edward Smith. Delaware. Wilmington. — Prospects are good ; effects of last year's troubles have worn off and people are buying more expen- sivie stock than ever. — H. P. Potter, Georgia. Savannah. — The business situation looks good to us now. Last year's let- up seems to have been helpful to us lately, rather than harmful. — John Wolf. Savannah. — The only way this sec- tion felt last year's troubles was in slow collections; sales kept up. As to 1909, we can't say, only hope for the best. — A. C. Celschig & Sons. Idaho. Post Falls. — The business is just fairly beginning to develop in this part of the country. — W. S. Van Dorn. Boise. — Last year's panic seems to have caused some decrease in this sea- son's plant sales, but it did not harm the cut flower trade here. Prospects are good for the spring. — Boise Floral Co. Illinois. RocKFORD. — The outlook for 1909 is good indeed. Ine effects of the financial disturbance have been imperceptible here of late. — J. J. Soper. Aurora. — The prospects for the coming season look good to me. Last year's panic, though it probably caused us some loss of trade, was not as bad as expected. — Joseph M. Smely. Bloomington. — The outlook for busi- ness is good. This is largely a farming community, and though crops last year were not large, the prices were high enough to compensate for the lack of quantity. — A. Washburn & Sons. Peoria. — Stock is looking fine and prospects are bright for a fine supply of flowers. There is reason to expect t^ good trade for the balance of the sea- son.— C. LOVERIDOX. JouET. — It is a little early to make predictions for 1909, but we know of nothing to prevent our having a pros- perous year. — Albert C. Rott. Aurora. — ^Business up to date has been unusually prosperous, but it is a little early to make a forecast of the coming season — ^Aurora Greenhouse Co. Indiana. Marion. — The prospect is good; busi- ness increasing every year. — Marion Floral Co. KOKOMO. — Every line of business is improving in our vicinity and this gives good promise for the future. — Walter W. Coles. Goshen. — The outlook is fair. People here have not really been much affected by the troubles elsewhere, but are still a little scared. — Colonial Flower Shop. La Fayette. — Orders are coming in fast and the future looks bright. The panic was helpful to us rather than in- jurious, as it led to the purchase of flowers at Christmas by many who would otherwise have bought something more costly. — F. DoRNER & Sons Co. Iowa. Burlington. — ^We don't feel any ef- fect of slow business; it has been good right along. — ^Joseph Bock. Marshalltown. — The money troubles were only slightly felt and prospects now are better than ever. — ^William H. Ford. OsKALOOSA. — The flower-buying habit is growing and betokens an increase of business in 1909. — Kemble Floral Co. Dubuque. — The prospect for spring looks good at present. The financiid stringency was felt here little, if at all. — W. A. Harkett. Fort Madison. — The outlook is good. The effects of the money shortage were noticeable early in 1908, but did not harm holiday trade. — J. M. AUOE. Davenport. — We think that prospects now are fair. Though the panic may have caused some injury to our trade as late in the year as October and Novem- ber, it seemed to have just the opposite effect on our holiday business. — Bills Floral Co. Kansas. Hutchinson. — Business is all right in Kansas, better every year. — John Stamm. Leavenworth. — Spring prospects are excellent. The panic did not trouble us. — J. E. Meinhart. ToPEKA. — As far as we can see, the outlook is good. We never felt the panic in Kansas. — James Hayes. Wichita. — We have not been able to trace any of our trade conditions, either good or bad, to last year's panic. The panic affected the fiorists of this vicinity only indirectly. We consider the outlook as good as usual, which means a fairly healthy increase over the trade of the previous season. — W. H. Gulp & Co. Kentucky. HOPKINSVILLE. — I think the prospect is fair. — T. L. Metcalfe. Winchester. — The outlook for 1909 is the best ever and we are planning to build more houses. It seems hardly pos- The Weekly Florists^ Review. Januabt 14, 1909. sible that last year's panic could have affected us, since business showed a large increase. — Sheaeer The Florist. Paducah. — We still feel a little effect of the hard times. — C. L. Bbunson & Co. Mt. Sterling. — The outlook is fine. We all look for a big plant trade this spring. — Emil Fbedeich. Bowling Green. — We are not molest- ed by the financial flurry and there is a splendid prospect for spring business. — Burdell ±'lobal Co. Maine. Wateeville. — We still feel the effects of last year's troubles; the outlook is not bright in Maine. — Mitchell & Co. Portland. — Though the effects of the hard times were felt till late in 1908, florists here are all expecting a good spring season. — L. C. Goddard. Lewiston. — We are now looking for- ward to a heavy spring trade, though business last fall was quiet and collec- tions rather slow. — Ernest Saunders. Maryland. Frederick. — The outlook is not par- ticularly encouraging. The panic had the effect, I think, of limiting the de- mand to the less expensive grades of stock. — Henry Trail. Cumberland. — Prospects for spring are excellent. On account of the finan- cial stress, the people seem to have econ- omized during the early part of 1908, with the result that they spent more than ever at the close of the year. — John A. Bopp. Massachusetts. HoLTOKE. — Business conditions look prosperous now and we expect a big year. — Gallivan Bros. Lynn. — We still feel a little effect of last year's panic; it hurt some at Christ- mas, but the outlook is good. — Gibbs Bros. Newton. — Last year's panic did not' seem to have any effect on this season's holiday trade. Prospects for spring are good. — John Irving. Michigan. Sault Ste. Marie. — We look for a better trade in the spring than a year ago; at least, we are working to that end. — WiLLLAM F. Weber. Kalamazoo. — The outlook is exceed- ingly bright. Last year's panic, if felt at all, must have been helpful this fall, for business recently has been enormous. — G. Van Bochove & Bro. Minnesota. Albert Lea. — We did not notice any difference in business; it's increasing each year. — Lake Shore Greenhouses. OwATONNA. — Business has been good right along. We feel no effects of any panic. Can see nothing but the usual good business ahead. — Clinton Falls Nursery Co. Mississippi. Jackson. — Prospects are bright. I am putting in large quantities of out- door plants and hope to keep up with the procession if it does not move too fast. — W. J. Brown. Missouri. Springfield. — Trade is steady; we feel no effect of the slow business com- plained of in some places. — W. A. Chaltant. Nebraska. Beatrice. — We didn't know we had a panic. It was not felt here. The pros- pects for the spring season are fair. — Dole Floral Co. Fremont. — Prospects were never bet- ter for us and we look for a record- breaking trade in all lines. The panic to us was a joke. With a good farm- ing country, big crops, good prices and plenty of work to be had, business never wavered. — C. H. GRiaiN. Lincoln. — We in Nebraska have not felt the panic to any great extent, as ours is an agricultural state and we had good crops and high prices. The out- look for the spring is quite promising. Growers in this vicinity have a good supply of fine stock. — C. H. Frey. New Hampshire. Concord. — Business seems to have a push behind it that bespeaks a pros- perous season in 1909. — G. J. Benedict. Nashua. — We did a good business last year, and it is evident that flowers were purchased at the holidays by many peo- ple who were formerly in the habit of buying more expensive gifts. As to the outlook for the future — well, everything depends on Wall street. — August Gaed- eke & Co. New Jersey. Hoboken. — We don't feel any effect now of last year's business setback. — M. Hendberg. Paterson. — It is an encouraging cir- cumstance that trade here has been good among the florists, in spite of the fact that many men have been thrown out of employment by the closing of shops and mills. — Edward Sceery. New York. Elmira. — A good many people are still out of work. — H. N. Hoffman. Troy. — We have good prospects for spring trade and no longer feel any ef- fects of the panic. — Sambrook Bros. Watertown. — We can still feel the effect of last year 's troubles, but the out- look for spring trade is good. — W. A. Clark & Son. Saratoga Springs. — We can still feel the effects of last year's slump — you bet it hurt. The spring season will be better than last year, but it's hard tell- ing what the outlook is. — T. J. Totten. North Dakota. Fargo. — We don't know anything about slow business out this way. — Shot- well Floral Co. Grand Forks. — We think last year's panic had a decided effect on business. Trade would have been much better if the panic had not taught the people to cultivate the habit of economy. The future outlook, however, is encouraging, for crops were good. — Wickleb Floral Co. Ohio. Zanesville. — Think prospects are very fine. — John D. Imlay. Sandusky. — The outlook seems to us to be extremely favorable. — Central Greenhouses. Akron. — There are prospects of a bet- ter spring trade than ever before. We feel no effect of last year 's depression. — J. E. Norton. Alliance. — We feel no effects of the so-called hard times; prospects are good. — J. F. Zimmerman. Canton. — ^Don't see any reason why we shouldn't do as well as we ever did, in 1909. — Chas. Lindacher. Oklahoma. Oklahoma City. — Conditions seem to be favorable for good business during the remainder of the season. — C. W. Stiles. Enid. — Did we feel last year's panic? Not in the least. The people of the southwest deny there was a panic and are flashing big bills. — Cowan Floral Gardens. Pennsylvania. Harrisburg. — We certainly felt the effects of last year's panic, but the pros- pects look fair now. — Paxton Green- houses. Allentown. — It's hard to say what the spring business will be. We don't feel last year's depression much now. — J. F. Horn & Bro. Beading. — The prospects for spring are decidedly promising, in spite of last year's financial depression, which still has considerable influence. — H. J. Hues- man. Wilkesbarre. — The outlook is good here now, except that there is some fear of a coal strike in the spring. Every- body is preparing for this by laying in a good stock of coal. — George W. Carr. South Dakota. Aberdeen. — Prospects are bright. We felt no effect of the money troubles in the east. Good crops make good times. — R. Strohmeier. Sioux Falls. — The outlook is good for spring business. The shortage of money was felt here for a short time only. — G. A. Thomas. Tennessee. Knoxville. — Prospects are encourag- ing. The effects of the financial trou- bles were not perceptible in the last part of 1908. — Charles L. Baum. Texas. Denison. — The southwest had no de- pression; the florists' business is grow- ing rapidly; 1909 will be good. — E. Farley. Utah. Salt Lake City. — The outlook for 1909 is excellent. Business lately has shown no signs of being affected by the troubles of October, 1907. — Richard E. Evans. Vermont. Rutland. — Business is picking up; outlook for spring is good. — G. E. Hunt. MONTPELIER. — The prospect is good; no effect of last year's troubles now ap- parent.— Emslie & Bradford. ^^ashington. Everett. — Prospects are better than ever. We hear of slow business in the east, but the effects were not noticeable here. — Everett Floral Co. Walla Walla. — We feel no result of eastern money troubles. — James Wait.

The effects of the financial upheaval were not appreciable here, though the more wealthy people may have bought a little more carefully than in former years. — A. F. Laubitzen. KAISER'S MARYLAND PLANT. Budolph Kaiser does business at An- napolis, Md., the larger part of his pat- ronage coming from the naval academy there, and from the well-to-do people whom it attracts to the city. At his store, 104 College avenue, he has a large palm house, but his range of glass is at West Annapolis, as shown in the ac- companying illustration. Here he has 12,000 feet of gl&ss in five well built greenhouses, where he grows plants and cut flowers for his retail trade, making a specialty of violets, roses, carnations and mums. He also has several acres of land, on which he grows outdoor flowers in the summer and also vegetables and fruits. Adjoining the greenhouses is a substantial residence for the foreman in charge of operations there. WHY MUM BLCXDMS DAMPEN. Speaking of the damping of blooms of chrysanthemums, which caused great loss to growers in the eastern part of the United States last autumn, W. J. God- frey, the widely known English grower, says: "This has been unusually prevalent in England during the past season, and the loss of promising blooms' has been sorely felt by many growers. No one has pro- pounded a remedy, all growers taking it for granted that the trouble arises from one of two causes: overfeeding or the soft growth caused by the moist condi- tions of the atmosphere which followed the heat and drought of the summer. The peculiar point of this theory is that the late blooms, which are produced on the softest growth, are less liable to suffer than the earlier ones, which are generally produced on the ripest and hardest wood. That an excess of manure will cause loss of blooms is beyond dis- pute, but this season plants which re- ceived no manure lost many of the most promising blooms. "Experience has taught me that the trouble is the result of leaving on too much air at night. In the earlier part of the season, especially if the weather is hot and sunny by day, the night at- mosphere is damp and murky. With this in mind, many growers open the top ven- tilators wide, the theory being that, by giving a slight heat by means of the hot water pipes, the damp air is ex- pelled; whereas, the dry, hot air, being the lightest, is allowed to escape, to be replaced with other which is cold and damp, and it is this which causes the damage. Later on, the nights being colder and at the same time drier, the houses are kept closer, and damping is almost forgotten." BEST EARLY VARIETIES. Please advise me what varieties of mums you consider best as early white, pink and yellow, with good blooms, and not more than five feet tall. When is the best time to procure rooted cuttings for early bench culture? What is the best care for same before the time for planting the bench? How far apart should they be planted on the bench, and when! E. A. M. The kinds I would recommend for early use are as follows: White — October Frost, Polly Eose, White Cloud. Pink — Pacific, Bosiere, Mrs. Coombs. Yellow — Golden Glow, Monrovia, Crocus. These will flower in the order named and will turn in more money than any other kind a man can grow. White Cloud and Golden Glow are comparatively new, but they have won a place for themselves on their merits. The latter variety can be got in from September 1 if desired. Kosiere, in the pinks, is thin and not very satisfactory, but its earliness, when pinks are very scarce, makes it valuable. The tallest growers are Rosiere, Octo- ber Frost and White Cloud, so E. A. M. should figure on giving them the position where they can get the most headroom. Good stock for early flowers should be rooted in February and March, and kept growing along as cool as possible, till they can be planted out in May or early June. The coldframe daring April is as good a place as can be found. Stock is rooted in May and June, I know, but no grower should leave his early varieties till so late and then expect good results. To get a reasonable length of stem, be ready to plant out sturdy young plants in May, particularly so with Pacific and Polly Bose, as they are slow-growing. The distance apart to plant is governed somewhat by the quality of the flowers that it is desired to obtain. For the finest grade 8x6 is as close as it is pos- sible to plant single stemmed plants. This is for a quality that wholesales from ^o to 50 cents each. If E. A. M. figures on a cheaper grade of goods he can take up two or more shoots from his plant, but personally I always believe in letting the other fellow grow the cheap stuff. E. A. M. understands, I presume, that he must take his buds in good season and not wait for terminals. Thus it is safe to take buds on Golden Glow or Monrovia after July 15, or the others early in August. One cannot cut flowers in Sep- tember or early October if one waits for the September buds. Charles H. Totty. Davenport, Ia. — ^John T.

The illustration, an anchor of iry leaves decorated with orchids, gives an inexpensive yet effective design, appro- priate where it is desired to express the idea of maturity. The anchor is made of ivy leaves put in with great care, with, when complete, a few choice orchids added as a final touch. This is one of the funeral designs by Charles Henry Fox, of the Sign of the Eose, Philadel- phia. PhiIi. SALTFORiyS NARROV STORE. One of the interesting features of the accompanying illustration is the demon- stration of what may be done in the way of attractive arrangement for a flower store in a long, narrow room. The photograph, of course, shows the store in holiday attire, but the room presents little difference in general appearance at any season. It will be noted that at the back of the store a stairway at the right leads up to the conservatory on the roof. One of the interesting points to the average retailer who does busi- ness in a fairly prosperous community, is the display made of requisites. They are not put away in some store-room, but are attractively arranged in the most conspicuous places in the store. The case of fern dishes of various styles, and the collection of small Russian brass plant receptacles, make many a sale which would be lost if the receptacles were less conspicuously displayed. The office and work-room are at the rear of the store. POTS AND POTTING. Qeanlng and Storing Pots. Under the bench is about the poorest place that ean be found for storing empty flower pots when not in use, but nevertheless it is the only place ever considered or used by most growers. When wanted, the pots are full of ver- min, moldy and foul smelling, usually well soaked with moisture and unfit to handle, to say nothing of putting plants into them and expecting the plants to be healthy. If hard pieces of the previous soil are sticking to the inside, they will tear the ball of soil to pieces when trying to knock out the next plants that are grown in them. This old soil will not soak off and become a part of the fresh soil put into the pot ; instead, it sticks to the pot like cement. The best way to keep pots is to have bins or stalls made in a row in the shed, and, after being used once or not more than twice, they should be washed as carefully as the kitchen cooking utensils. Plants are just as particular about hav- ing clean dishes as people are. They will not do well in old, sour, filthy pots. After the pots are washed or before they are used, they should be thoroughly dried out. In summer this is easy enough, but in winter they must be placed on the boiler or over hot pipes. If there is no other convenient place than under the benches, the pots should at least be thoroughly washed, inside and out, the inside being the more particular part. Advantage of Having Them Dry. A dry pot has a great advantage over a wet one by being able to draw much moisture from the soil at the first water- ing after potting into them. This is beneficial, because plants just trans- planted are slightly shocked, stop grow- ing somewhat, and do not require as much water, so they are easily over- watered. All plants root better in a comparatively dry soil than in a wet one. Many growers soak new pots be- fore potting into them, which is in most cases a mistake. I like to have them very dry; then, after potting, they can be given a hea'^ watering, sure to reach clear down, and can be watered again the next day without any worry about overwatering. Still, if soaked well, there need be no fear but that they get enough. New pots always grow better plants than old ones, even if the older ones are well washed and dried, and these, in turn, will grow better stuff than the foul, dirty ones. If anyone does not be- lieve it, let him try it on one large batch of plants divided into three parts, all the same and potted the same day, and placed on the same bench, etc. It will be a lesson not to be forgotten. The im- portance of cleanliness in all work about the greenhouses cannot be emphasized too strongly. H. G. SWEET PEAS. As the days perceptibly lengthen, sO' does the cold strengthen.

A month hence they will be even better. Where the plants have been flowering since the end of October, a little fee^g will now prove helpful. This may be ^ther bone meal or fine sheep manure, which can be broadcasted over the sur- face of the beds, which should then have a light forking over before water is ap- plied. Be sure to keep all seed pods removed, also any dead haulms. Tying up will need constant attention, for it never pays to have bent or twisted stems. Give the flowering plants 48 to 50 de- grees at night, which can be advanced 15 degrees on bright days. On dull days 55 to 58 degrees is sufSciently high. Keep a sharp lookout for mildew. Dust the steam pipes with sulphur on its appearance and carefully avoid cold drafts, which usually cause the trouble. Eed spider is the worst of all foes and once it gets a foothold is hard to eradi- cate. A spray nozzle and sixty pounds pressure is probably the best way to com- bat it. In fumigating, if you use to- bacco stems, remember that the odor hangs to the flowers a long time and ren- ders them practically unsalable. Better use some other fumigant, the odor from •which passes away more speedily. Eecently sown seeds come in useful now for running up the posts in carnation and other houses of suitable temperature. For present sowing, it is not necessary to rely on the regular forcing kinds. Such sorts as Countess Spencer, Gladys Unwin, Dorothy Eckford, Miss Willmott, Helen Pierce, John In^an and Frank Dolby are all suitable. Start either in flats of sandy loam, or in small pots containing two or three seeds each. CONNILLSVILLE, Pa. — S. P. Minster- man has started in the florists' business at 608 Connell avenue. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. A Letter From President Valentine. To each member of the S. A. F. I send greeting and best wishes for the new year. This is to be an important year for the florists. The tariff is to be revised and you are all interested in the result. In addition to that, it is necessary to fol- low up the work which has previously been inaugurated in the way of securing equitable rates from express and rail- road companies, and the recognition of just claims presented against them. It is evident that a society that is strong numerically and flnancially can do more for its members than a weak one can, and I appeal both to your loyalty and to your self-interest when I ask you to at ' once assist in securing additional members. There are about 9,000 florists ' establishments of all kinds in this coun- try and our society has a total member- ship of 900, so that each member might find it possible to secure nine new mem- bers. Of course we can hardly expect such results, but it is not too much to expect that each member will get at least one new member, and thus quickly double our membership. No florist can con- sistently say you "Nay," for there is not one of them whose business impor- tance has not been increased by the fact that for over twenty years our society has been consistently working to pro- mote the calling in which he is engaged. If any men could afford to stay out of the society it would be the big concerns, whose financial strength and whose vol- ume of business would entitle them to a respectful hearing from any corporations with which they do business. But these viBry concerns are the ones you are cer- tain to find enrolled on the books of our society. May it not be that some portion of their success is due to having associated with other bright men at our conventions, and to the added enthusi- asm bound to come from contact with successful men in the same line of workf To my mind, the annual report which is mailed to each member is of great value. It contains a complete list of the members, with their addresses, and to those who do not have a regular di- rectory of the florists of the country it fumi^es names of florists in nearly dll the states. This list contains the live, progressive men, with whom it pays to do business. If you had to send an order to be filled in a town where there were two florists and you knew nothing of either except that one belonged to the S. A. F. and the other did not, would it take you long to decide as to which one you would take a chance onf Is not that point alone enough to bring the retailers into the foldt We hope that the tariff and transporta- tion committee will be such diplomats that they will secure just what they want from Congress and that the express com- panies will concede all the things that can reasonably be asked of them. But if a strong navy is a guarantee of peace to a nation, we may well assume that a strong membership and a full treasury will be our best reliance in se- curing the remedies we seek. When the next annual report is pub- lished it will show how many new mem- bership fees have been sent in by each old member. Let your name be promi- nent among these active workers for the good of the society. So I urge upon you to at once go to work and secure new members — not next month, but now — and thus render to the society the loyal service it has a right to expect from yon; at the same time making your membership more valuable to yourself.

Calceolarias do not naturally flower until the last of April or early part of May. They are now making satisfactory growth, the cool weather and absence of strong sunlight being much to their lik- ing. Growth being now quite rapid, it is necessary to spread out the plants at least once a week. Elevate some of the stronger specimens on pots. The foliage is somewhat brittle and careful handling is required to keep it from being broken. On no account allow the pots to be- come matted with roots before giving them the final shift, or the plants will disappoint you. While nice little stock can be flowered in 6-inch pots, those two inches larger will give much finer plants. For compost use two-thirds fibrous loam from an upland pasture, one-third old cow manure well broken up, with a little leaf-mold, fine charcoal and sharp sand added. Do not pot too firmly. If your plants show a tendency to run up to flower, pinch back the shoots. Give a night temperature of 40 to 45 degrees and never omit the fumigation, or green aphis will speedily raise havoc with your stock. Abundant ventilation, shade from direct sunshine and light spraying on warm days are beneficial. G>rnfIower. Centaurea Cyanus, the well known blue cornflower, is always a popular market flower. A few growers get a moderate winter crop by sowing it in early fall and treating similarly to mignonette, but the best sales are in early spring, the demand being also much better at that time. Sow the seeds thinly in rows two feet apart on either benches or solid beds. A night temperature of 45 to 48 degrees should not be exceeded, or the plants will become weak. The little seedlings will appear in a few days and a close, moist atmosphere will cause many to damp off. Keep the surface soil scratched over. Thin out where the plants have come up too abundantly and air freely to make the seedlings stocky. There are several colors of these centaureas, but the blue variety, Emperor William, is the best seller. Coleut and Altemanthera. Neither coleus nor altemanthera are as popular as they were. The decline in carpet bedding has caused a lessened demand for the latter and the advent of cannas of the Crozy type affected coleus. Yet there is still considerable call for them, and as they grow and flourish with so little care, it is not surprising that they still have many admirers. It is better now to get in all possi- ble cuttings from the old coleus plants. As these latter make ideal headquarters for mealy bug, get rid of the old stock at once. Altemanthera can either be pulled to pieces or propagated by cut- tings. Whichever method is adopted, be sure to give it a brisk heat. The plants will barely exist in a cool house. As soon as the coleus and altemanthera are rooted, place the flats on a shelf in a warm house. You will get all the cut- tings you want from these for later propagation. Spanish Iris* To have Spanish irises in flower by the middle of March, the flats should now be placed in a night temperature of 50 degrees. Do not on any account try harder forcing, as it will only result in complete failure. As the flats are now a solid mass of roots, a little liquid man- ure once in four or five days will prove beneficial. These irises, commonly known as ' * the poor man 's orchids, ' ' are always a welcome arrival in the spring and bring good prices. Their extremely low price should encourage more country florists to try them. Dahlias. It is, of course, much too early to start any dahlias for outdoor culture, but a small batch grown under glass provides a welcome change in the late spring. The cactus varieties do not prove so satis- factory for this early flowering as the singles, shows and pompons. Do not make the mistake of planting a mixture of colors. Your customers do not want this. Restrict yourself to two or three popular shades, Uke Grand Duke Alexis, Kriemhilde and Countess of Lonsdale, colors which no one will ever find fault with, A single strong eye is all that is needed to a plant. Lay your tubers in a bed of moas in a warI^ house. Lightly sprinkle them until they start to break, then divide and plapt them. Restrict the plants to a single shoot and stake these securely. Set your pliants two feet apart in the rows and let the rows be a little wider apart than this. A carnation house temperature we find will grow good dahlias. Purchase Seed Now. The seedsmen's catalogues are now pouring in with each mail and will soon make a formidable and bewildering col- lection. Take time by the forelock and order your supplies of flower seeds dur- ing the present month. It always pays to try a packet of a few novelties, es- pecially in asters, stocks, sweet peas and other staple florists* flowers. Many of these so-called novelties may turn out to be old friends under new names, or so slightly changed as to be hardly dis- tinguishable, but every prominent seed merchant feels the necessity of provid- ing a page or two of novelties each sea- son. The task of so doing is sometimes quite considerable. All the Seed houses appreciate early orders. It relieves in a measure the tremendous spring pressure. It also en- sures to the purchaser prompt delivery of his order. By waiting until later in the season it may be difficult to secure seeds of some special favorites, so order your seeds now, before the rush starts. By so doing you will help the over- worked seedsmen and not be subjected to vexatious delays, such as are un- avoijiable later in the season. I #^ '♦^ <»^.<^^.<»^.'»^.'*^.<»^.'»^.<»^.^*^.<»^.

The increxising scarcity of wood is al- ready felt in many parts of the country and will undoubtedly be more noticeable in the next few years. The manufactur- ers of greenhouses and horticultural buildings, like other users of wood, are meeting with a great deal of difficulty in obtaining lumber suitable for their pur- poses at reasonable prices. Naturally the more durable woods have been in greatest demand and consequently this class of material has been the first to run short. This shortage has made it neces- sary to investigate carefully all possible substitutes for these valuable, durable species. It is easy enough to find woods that are cheaper than heart cypress, which is most widely used for greenhouse pur- poses at the present time ; but such woods are usually not durable, and unless treated with some preservative substance will not last more than two or three years in a greenhouse, making the cost of re- placement in most cases prohibitive to their use. On account of the heat and moisture conditions to which greenhouse timbers are invariably exposed, decay is rapid. The Giuse of Decay. Decay in wood ia caused by low forms of plant life called fungi. These plants are not able to manufacture their own food, and so, like ourselves, must subsist on animal and vegetable matter. Their reproduction is brought about by minute spores, millions of which are constantly floating in the air, like dust, and being deposited everywhere. If conditions of heat and moisture are favorable,, a spore falling upon a piece of wood germinates and sends out numerous thread-like tubes, called hyphse, which exude an_ ' ' enzyme, ' ' a substance capable of so changing the tissue of the wood that it can be assimilated by the fungus. After a spore has sent out masses of these hyphsB it gradually produces a spore- case, an example of which is the com- mon toadstool. In this case countless Januabt 14, 1909. The Weekly Florists' Review. 11 Government's Open Tank Method of Treatment of Timber with Wood Preservatives. (With Bligbt modification tbis will be employed in the experimental trea'ment upon greenbouse timbers.) numbers of these spores are borne and thrown off into the air, which in turn may attack wood and so continue the de- structive work. In order that hese spores may de- velop, they must have specific amounts of water, heat, air and food; therefore by reducing or eliminating any one of these it is possible to prevent them from developing. It will be readily seen that in the interior construction of green- houses, heat can not be eliminated. Water may be kept away in some eases and air in others, but it is probable that the element which can be most readily controlled is the food, or the wood itself. This can be done by impregnating it with some liquid which is poisonous to the fungus and which will consequently prevent its growth. Method of Treating Timbers. For such purposes the open-tank meth- od is well adapted. This method is based upon the use of an open tank, capable of withstanding heat, and either equipped with steam coils or so arranged that fire can be placed underneath. Sufficient preservative is run into the tank to coTer the portion of the timber which is to be treated, and the tempera- ture of the liquid is then raised slightly above the boiling point of water. This temperature is maintained for a length of time depending upon the character of the wood and the treatment desired. At the end of the hot bath the timber is either quickly transferred to another vat, containing a cold preservative, in which it is submerged for a definite period of time, or else the heat is shut off and the timber is allowed to remain in the cooling liquid until the required absorption is obtained or until no further absorption takes place. The time re- quired by the treatment may be short- ened, without transferring the timber from one vat to another, by running out the hot liquid at the end of the hot bath and simultaneously letting in the cold liquid. The vacuum is brought about by alternate heating and cooling of the wood in the preservative, and atmospher- ic pressure is used to force the liquid into the wood. Preservatives Employed* For all purposes the most effective preservative in general use today is creosote, or dead oU of coal tar. How- ever, it probably can not be used in treating all classes of greenhouse timbers, because timbers so treated can not be subsequently painted, which is desirable in such structures. Moreover, the effect of its volatilization on young plants has never as yet been determined. Other pre- servatives, however, such as mercuric chlorid and zinc chlorid, are better adapted to the purpose, because they leave the surface of the wood in a suitable condition for painting. Both of these have the disadvantage of leaching out to some extent in the course of time. This can probably be largely overcome, however, by proper methods of handling. Of the two, mercuric chlorid is the less soluble and has better antiseptic qual- ities, but is unfortunately more expen- sive. Becords show that as far back as 1832 John H. Kyan successfully treated the timbers in the Duke of Devonshire's con- servatories by simply soaking them in a mercuric chlorid solution. By this meth- od the solution merely penetrated the wood to a distance of about one-fourth of an inch. By the open-tank method, as suggested, a complete penetration of some species can undoubtedly be secured and there appears to be no good reason, therefore, why such treatment will not lead to better results than have been at- tained in the past with this preserva- tive. Object of Experiments. Although the preservation of other timbers is comparatively well under- stood in this country now, having been carried on successfully for half a cen- tury, the treatment of greenhouse timbers has been neglected. In order, therefore, to secure data which will be of value to the users of such material, the Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agri- culture is preparing to carry on a series of experiments in co-operation with S. Jacobs & Sons, m^Lnufacturers of green- houses and horticultural buildings, at their plant in Brooklyn. The object of the experiments is to learn: 1. . What preservative is best adapted to the treatment of greenhouse timbers. 2. The minimum strength of the so- lution necessary to effectively guard against decay. 3. The possibility of treating cheaper grades of lumber so that they will last as long or longer than those at present used. The preservatives to be used in the ex- periments are mercuric chlorid (corrosive sublimate), zinc chlorid, and probably creosote. The woods to be treated are sap cypress, longleaf and shortleaf pine. Cottonwood will probably be added later. The treating apparatus will consist of two tanks about 18x3x3 feet in size, one for the hot and the other for the cold bath. The heating tank will be made of 14-gauge galvanized iron and will bft heated by about 100 feet of steam coil arranged in the bottom. The cooling tank is to be 2-inch plank and will be used exclusively for the mercuric chlorid solution, which acts on iron and there- fore can not be used in metal tanks. The manufactured timbers will be heated in a zinc chlorid solution, as pre- viously described, or else in an improvised dry kiln for several hours and then placed immediately in the cooling tank containing the solution of mercuric chlorid. After the required time in thia bath they will be removed, marked for ..(,...,, 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 14, 1900. ; \ . future identification and made up into greenhouses. Becords will be kept of the locality in which each treated green- house is erected and studies of their con- dition will be made from time to time. These investigations will be made public aa soon as any tangible results have been obtained. Howard B. Oakleaf. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Buying New Varieties. It has been said that purchasing va- rieties in the year of their introduction to the trade is a veritable gamble. Like many ventures in all lines of business, the light in which an investment is viewed makes it what it is. If we buy everything on the list of new sorts, without regard to present needs, trusting to luck to strike a good one, then the transaction might be called a gamble. If we reason that the cut- tings need no special attention on ar- rival, or if we allow the plants^to suffer at any time by neglect or abuse, that is carelessness. When we view the matter fairly, and consider that the result of an investment in a new variety rests fully as much, if not more, with the grower than the introducer, the element of chance does not enter into the question. My methods and my reasons for adopt- ing them iu purchasing new varieties were pretty thoroughly discussed in these col- umns last year, so I will merely say in passing that if one has a clean, healthy stock of a certain sort, which is paying well, he had better let well enough alone. Should there be any cause for hesitation in deciding whether or not to purchase a certain variety, it may be well to remem- ber that, if meritorious, it will be scarcely less so a year later. When in need of new blood and the choice is made, at least 250 cuttings should be bought. Care on Arrival. A week or ten days before a shipment is due to arrive, bring in the soil spe- cially designed for cuttings. This soil was described a few weeks ago. Get pots in readiness and do not use a medley of sizes, but have them uniformly 2-inch, 2^ -inch or 2'/^-inch^not larger. If, on arrival, it is impossible to pot at once, place without unpacking in a cool, shady place. On opening, should frost seem to have penetrated the pack- age, remove the contents and, after sprinkling well with cold water, allow them to stand in a cool place for a few hours, but do not unroll the bundles until ready to pot. Once potting is started, the operation should proceed with dis- patch until finished, and the plants should then be stood on a shaded bench entirely free from draughts. Water suf- ficiently to thoroughly moisten the soil, but not enough to form mud. The temperature for the first week, or until they show signs of having taken hold of the soil, should be about that of the propagating house. As they become accustomed to more light and air, a cooler temperature is needed. Subsequent treatment will be discussed in a later issue, under the subject of "General Care of Young Stock." These new varieties are strangers in a strange land, and require extra care and encouragement in order to become quick- ly acclimatized. Personally, I prefer to buy cuttings unrooted, preparing and rooting them myself, thus materially aid- ing in the process of acclimatization. A Flagrant Abuse. It seems strange, after a grower has received a batch of cuttings bought at the rate of $10 or $12 a hundred, that he should deliberately set about to abuse them, but such is the case when they are potted in rich soil and grown in a high temperature with a view to obtaining a cutting from the tops, thus doubling the stock. So-called cuttings, obtained in this manner, even if induced to root, will never make anything but cripples, while the original, now a stump, is little short of worthless. If one is determined to follow this evil practice, let him, in justice to the originator, label the cuttings under some other name than that by which they are known. Then no one will be misled, ex- cept the grower himself. Geo. S. Osborn. FLOWEELESS PLANTS. I should like some information in re- gard to a bench of carnations in a house of mine. The north bench of Fair Maids is all in fine shape, with big plants, etc.; but the flower shoots, instead of running up to bud, shorten up the joints and carry a regular tufted top of foliage, side shoots and all. In this condition, of course, the plants do not flower. Various reasons have been given, such as lack of food, too much manure, poorness of the stock, etc. Both my south and middle benches are doing finely, though I saw one or two plants that are throw- ing the foliage. Can you give me the cause, name and remedy? H. E. G. The trouble you complain of is by no means a new one and is not a difficult one to overcome, although it will cause you considerable loss this season. It is brought on by indiscriminate and whole- sale taking of cuttings, without regard to the condition of the plants from which they are taken. You will notice in some varieties an occasional plant which grows as you de- scribe your plants. They are called wild plants. They simply grow and keep on growing, without making any bloom, and if left alone will grow to enormous pro- portions. Cuttings taken from such plants will invariably grow the same way. The novice who has not learned to dis- criminate between cuttings, except as to the size of cuttings and plants, is likely to whack into these strong looking plants for all the cutting that can be had. They root more easily and grow more easily than the type, and in a short time, if this kind of propagating continues, the whole batch will be of this flowerless kind. We have seen this very thing happen with the old variety, Lizzie Mc- Gowan, some years ago. We have heard it said that if such plants are cut back hard they will come into bloom later. Perhaps so, but my advice to you is to throw out every plant of this kind. Certainly you do not want to propagate from them. A. F. J. B. FEEDING CARNATIONS. What is it best to feed carnations with? Would you advise mulching them with fine cow manure? G. &G. There are many different manures and fertilizers applied to carnations. Much feeding should be guarded against during the short winter days, or you will have a big crop of burst calyxes.- Fine cow manure, well decayed, makes one of the best mulches and can be applied now with perfect safety. Dried sheep manure is used with success by many. Mix a little fine bone with your cow manure and see that it is evenly spread over the benches. W. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

Your C0I4 wave had us all shivering for a day, when the thermometer touched 20 degrees, but it was a brief respite, and before last week ended there came rain and almost summer temperature. Its influence upon the market can be readily imagined. The tendency was steadily downward. Saturday, January 9, violets had fallen to 50 cents, and Beauties the same. These prices were for the best. The present week opens with even warmer weather, with the usual promise of a cold wave, but we have now learned not to accept any weather pre- dictions until they are realized. With the mild weather has come in- activity in business and prices are far from satisfactory to the wholesale sec- tion. The best Beauties were selling January 11 at 50 cents and, outside of the novelties, 2 cents was top for carna- tions. Great quantities of both are com- ing from Philadelphia. Gardenias and orchids are quite abundant and prices are Januaby 14, 1909. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ n. .-i.

The shipments of \'iolets continue abnormal, and with the unseasonable weather little surprise is expressed at their recession in price.

The Florists' Club held its monthly meeting January 11 and the attendance was close to the century mark, the en- thusiasm and good fellowship unbounded. The new oflScers were installed. Presi- dent Hallock 's address was a gem of eloquence and all the new officers and trustees gave assurances of devotion to the club's interests. Secretary Young predicted the best year in the club's his- tory. Vice-president Turner filled the chair at the president's request for a time and seemed "to the manor born." President Hallock 's committee ap- pointments were as follows : Legislative Committee— P. O'Mara, John I. RayDor, F. R. Pierson. Essay Committee — S. S. Butterfield, Leonard Barron. A. H. Langjahr. .

O'Mara, Totty, Marshall, Scott and Traendly. The ultimate result was the carrying of the motion to that etifect. Chairman Turner, of the award com- mittee, announced a visit by the mem- bers to the Scarboro plant of the F. R. Pierson Co. January 9 to pass upon the merits of White Kill.arney. The committee gave the new rose a score of eighty-nine points and recommended the award of the club's certificate. A very interesting exhibit was made of hybrid amaryllis by Harry Turner, six distinct varieties of great size and beauty, which received a cultural certificate. J A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, sent a fine plant of Begonia President Taft, which was awarded a certificate of merit. A plant and 100 cut blooms of the new single violet, Baronne Rothschild, were shown by F. W. Fletcher, of Auburn- dale, Mass., who was given a hearty vote of thanks. George Geatrus, of West Hoboken, exhibited a dozen pots of a new fern closely resembling Scottii and Boston, on which judgment was de- ferred. The names of eight life members were enrolled. For membership in the club the name of Leonard Barron was proposed. The February meeting of the club will be carnation night. A. H. Langjahr of- fered three books as prizes, for the best vase of twenty-five blooms of a new car- nation not yet distributed, 100 blooms of Enchantress, and 100 blooms of Law- sou. It was decided to have the annual din- ner as usual aud all details were left to the committee, the club first voting in favor of inviting the ladies, on motion of Mr. Weston, ably seconded by John Scott, who is now fully recovered from his long illness. The committee jippoint- ed is W. E, Elliott, A. L. Miller, J. A. Shaw and J. B. Nugent, Jr. It was de- cided that the club have its usual outing in the summer. Various Notes. As reported in last week's issue, E. V. Hallock, the new president of the Flo- rists ' Club, entertained the incoming offi- cers, and those whose terms have just expired, at a beefsteak dinner at Castle Cave, Wednesday evening, January 6. The affair was a great suf.cess. The photograph, which might be entitled * ' Sweet Sixteen, ' ' appearing in this issue, speaks for itself. President Hal- lock announced his committee appoint- ments and there was full discussion as to the club's work in the year just opened. F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, Mass., was in the city January 11 and a guest of the New York Florists' Club. The floral staff of Bloomingdale Bros, presented W. Wallace Burnham with a handsome loving cup, a token of affec- tion and esteem. Mr. Burnham 's suc- cessor has not yet been appointed. R. Harry Cathcart, Jr., president of the Yuess Gardens Co., of Newburgh, was in the city January 11. He reports a successful season and is concentrating his two stores in the one large building, the whole of which will be utilized hereafter. Walter Mott, of tliis company, is now on his western trip, which will extend to Buffalo. Anton Schultheis, of College Point, is sending some fine valley, orchids and lilac to Horace E. Froment. Joseph A. Fenrich is doing jury duty — a two weeks ' galling vacation for a busy man. James Meikeljohn, formerly with the Knickerbocker hotel, as manager of its floral department, is now on the road for H. Frank Darrow. Philip Recht, representing the Hinode Florist Co., was called suddenly to Europe last week on account of the serious illness of his father. Miss Mills, proprietor of the Hinode Florist Co., says her Easter specialties will be wistaria, flowering cherry and miniature Japanese gardens, with plenty of lilies.

It will be an elaborate affair. A. J. Guttman says he will be at the Indianapolis convention with a carnation exhibit. His old pet, Victory, is still making good in the Qast. W. A. Sperling, of the Stumpp & Wal- ter Co., has just returned from a suc- cessful southern trip. John A. Kessler, of the late firm of Schumacher & Kessler, and Wm. Kess- ler, formerly with Charles Millang, com- pose the new firm of Kessler Bros, that has leased the store above George Cot- sonas & Co. and will handle plants and cut flowers at wholesale. A. Le Moult, the veteran of the Bowery, moves this week to his new store at No. 202, where he will have ample room. This is only a stone's throw frobi J. J. Foley's. Mr. Le Moult celebrates, in the fall, the fiftieth anniversary of his career as a New York florist and will then retire from the activities and re- sponsibilities of the business, leaving his son in charge. A large branch store has been established by Mr. Le Moult in the Bronx, near his home, which is proving a great success; The great auto show is over, with its attendance of over 100,000, and the floral decorations were individual and numer- ous. All up-to-date cars are now supplied with vases for the use of fresh flowers. At the Plaza last week the green room was beautifully decorated with American Beauties and palms by Thomas Young, Jr., for the McVicker-Horner wedding. At the same hotel the entire first floor of the immense building, twenty rooms, was decorated magnificently by Alex. McCon- nell for the debut of Marjorie Gould. In lavishness and elegance it has never been excelled. M, A. Bowe has a large dinner decora- tion booked for this week that will make inroads in the orchid and Beauty supply. Edgar J. Knight, for a number of years in charge of the noted orchid col- lection of Clement Moore, of Hacken- sack, N. J., leaves this position February 1 to go into fruit farming on his own account. He is one of the best orchid growers in the country. His present as- sistant succeeds him. The fame of Wertheimer Bros, has penetrated to the land of the Mikado, a florist at Tokio having written for their catalogue. Frank Albrecht's greenhouses, at Wyc- koif avenue and Norman street, Brook- lyn, were damaged by fire on the night of January 7 as the result qt defective heating apparatus. The loss is said to be $2,000 on the greenhouses and $4,000 on stock. (Continued on page 71.) OBITUARY. Robert Johnstone. Robert Johnstone, of Chicago, died January 11 at Valmora Eanch, Watrous, N. M-, where he went a few months ago in the fiope of" recovery from tuberculosis. Mr. Johnstone was well known in the trade, having been identified with the business at Chicago for more tljan fifteen years. He was about 45 years of age and came to this country with his par- ents when a child. Mrs. F. W. Timme, Chicago, is a sister. Some fifteen years ago Mr. Johnstone started in the green- house business on the northwest side, growing a miscellaneous. 9tQck and con- tinuing to own the prbperty up to the last few months. For the last couple of years prior to giving up work he was connected with Vaughan & Sperry. Mr. Johnstone served several terms as secre- tary of the Chicago Florists' Club and was an enthusiastic and effective worker in everything he undertook. The remains are now on their way to Chicago, but the date of the funeral has not yet been determined. William B. Reed. William B. Reed, of Chambersburg, Pa., died January 8, after a long illness. He had been in the business for a good many years and had built up a large trade, operating a well kept establish- ment of good size, growing a general line of stock for the local demand. He was well known to the florists of east- ern Pennsylvania and in Chambersburg was looked upon as one of the leading men of the city. Henry F. Cooper. Henry F. Cooper, Sr., died suddenly at his home on John street, Medway, Mass., January 3, of rheumatism of the heart. He was 76 years of age and leaves a wife and two sons. For fifty years Mr. Cooper was superintendent of the Medway Mfg. Co., but with his son, Henry F. Cooper, Jr., he was extensively interested in the greenhouse business. Guew Sanden. The death of Carew Sanders, which occurred on Wednesday, January 6, re- moved one of the oldest florists at St. Louis, a man who was well known and respected by all. His death was hastened by the shock he received by the burning of his home on Sunday, January 3, while he was ill and in bed. He was carried out of the burning building to St. Luke's hospital, where he died. Mr. Sanders was borh in Sussex, Eng- land, and was 82 years of age. He came to America with his brother William, in 1848, and secured employment in Cin- cinnati, later returning to New York. When his cousin, the late Edgar Sanders, came to America, both went to Cincin- nati and were engaged by Joseph Long- worth, grandfather of Congressman Nicholas Longworth. In 1856 Mr. San- ders removed to St. Louis and engaged in the nursery business with Norman J. Coleman^ The firm was known as Cole- man & Sanders and for many years did a general nursery business. After the firm dissolved partnership Mr. Sanders started in the florists' business, building "at 5600 Delmar boulevard, the present lo- cation of his son, C. C. Sanders, l^e retired from active work twenty yetirs ago, having accumulated a large amoiint of property, which in late years has become quite valuable. Mr. Sanders was a well read man and often contributed to horticultural maga- zines. He was one of the oldest mem- bers of the St. Louis Florists' Club. He is survived by his vridow and four chil- dren and thirteen grandchildren. The funeral took place Friday after- noon, January 8, from the residence of his son, W. S. Sanders, 5522 Clemens av- enue, to Bellefontaine cemetery. The pallbearers were selected from the local florists and were Fred. C. Weber, E. A. Michel, Theo. Miller, Frank Fillmore, J. F. Ammann, C. A. Kuehn, Fred Mein- hardt, and J. J. Beneke. The floral of- ferings were many and beautiful. The St Louis Florists' Club sent its usual offering. Among other florists present were John Steidle, W. C. Young, Otto G. Koenig, Harry Young, J. F. Windt, Francis Fillmore, Wm. Ellison and others. J. J. B. Elizabeth Carp. Mrs. Elizabeth Carp, mother of Will- iam H. Carp, of Ashland, Ky., died De- cember 31, 1908, at the age of 65 years, and was buried in Woodlawn cemetery, Ironton, O. Samuel Lewis Smith. Samuel Lewis Smith, formerly a flo- rist in North Easton, Mass., died January 4, in his home at 55 Albion street, Brock- ton, Mass. Martin Griffin* Martin Griffin, 75 years old, the florist of the treasury department for nearly half a century, is dead at his home at Washington. Mr, Griffin was born in Ire- land, but came to this country when a young man. He was one of the oldest residents of Washington, having resided in that city for fifty-five years. He is survived by five sons and three daughters. W. Heins. W. Heins, nurseryman at Halstenbek, Holstein, Germany, died December 8, from apoplexy, on entering his office in the morning. The deceased had reached the age of 75 years, and was the son of the founder of the nursery business, the most important in South Holstein. Mil- lions of forest and hedge plants are sold annually, many finding their way to America. FUMIGATING AND SPRAYING. Fred Lautenschlager says he, like many another good man, began life at the bottom and worked up; but he doos not think that is the way it should be with a greenhouse fumigant. To put it a little more plainly, he has conceived the idea that the best way to get action on the insects in a greenhouse is to put the fumigating apparatus up in the ridge of the house and let the fumes fall. Mr. Lautenschlager has done a great deal of experimenting in the last few years in connection with a f umigator which be in- vented and patented. He says he noted that in the forms of fumigation com- monly used the fumigating medium was lighter than air. With the source of the fumigant placed on the walks, the vapor rising often left the lower part of the ■greenhouse only lightly fumigated, if at all. When he hung his fumigator close to the ridge the fumes given off were "vr!*' !".''''■>* '''•■■ January 14, 1909. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 15 .< i-is>{,M%.'*:,i^' Sy\< bitkr^^'^'^'J^^li^^ *■ Frank Jolinson. ^Financial Secretary, Otaicago Florists' Club.) quickly cooled by contact with the glass and thereby became heavier than the at- mosphere. The result was that the fumes settled, just as one sees a fog settle upon the ground. In this way the house was filled evenly full of vapor, <;lear down to the ground, completely en- veloping the benches and the plants on them. Mr. Lautenschlager is sure that in this method he has found a way of greatly increasing the effectiveness of «very form of fumigant and there is no patent on this idea, as there is on the Lauten fumigator. Every grower is in- vited to try it for himself. Whatever jou use for fumigating, hang the ap- paratus up in the peak of the house and watch results. The Lauten fumigator is one of the simplest of devices. It is merely a cylinder of extra heavy wire net. It is packed full of wet tobacco stems, stood tip in the greenhouse (or hung up, under the "down draft". system) and the stems are set afire at the bottom. The result is that instead of giving off smoke, the fumigator gives off steam. The steam is emitted from the point of combustion, as shown in the accompanying illustra- tion. The only point necessary to watch is to see that the tobacco stems are proi)- erly moistened. Alois Frey, head gar- dener at Lincoln park, Chicago, uses the fumigator and likes it well. The quan- tity of stems used for each fumigator is a half bushel. These are simply spread out on the floor and moistened with a watering can. A little experience will tell when they are moist enough, and not too moist. They must be tightly packed in the fumigator to get the right results. Mr. Frey uses one fumigator for each 100 feet of the length of the house to be fumigated. The fumes are given off slowly and the fumigation is kept up for several hours. Mr. Lautenschlager recently made an arrangement with the Wilson Plant Oil & Fertilizer Co., Chatham, N. J., to put J. H. Pepper. 0 — Victoria, B.

Benthey, chairman of the transportation committee, stated that he has arranged with the Pan-Handl^ (Pennsylvania) railroad for a special car to the Indian- apolis carnation convention and urged everyone going to write or telephone F. F. Benthey, 35 Randolph street, at once, stating how many berths are required. It is necessary to know how many will go to get the proper accommodations. It is expected there will be at least twenty in the party from Chicago and vicinity. The special car will go out at midnight Tuesday night, January 26, being reauy for occupancy in the Union depot, Canal and Adams streets, at 10 p. m. The car will reach Indianapolis in time for break- fast the opening day of the convention. The fare is only $3.70, sleeper $2, each way. The Weather in 1908. Chief among the notable features of the year 1908 were its abnormal warmth, its deficiency of rainfall during the growing season, and its abundance of sunshine throughout the last seven months. During no other year in the history of the weather bureau were the monthly mean temperatures uniformly above the normals. The severe drought which set in early in June lasted until well into November, with only temporary breaks. In January, and from June to December, inclusive, the sunshine was greatly above the normal, only July and December of these months having less than ten per cent excess over the normal. February and May werei th» jeloudy months of the year, having sixteen and thirteen per cent, respectively, less than the normal amount of sunshine. Variout Notes.

The Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, sent Mrs. Jardine and My Maryland. The Jardine is pretty well known here and did not attract so much attention, but it is conceded a good thing and seems growing in favor. My Maryland was the one which most "were curious to see. The blooms were not the best, and all could see that when stock is more plentiful the rose will be better. The bud is a good shape and the color a good, clear pink all the way through. If it proves half . that is promised for it, its place on the pedestal is assured. The general opin- ion is that Killarney will stay, that White Killarney will be received with open arms, that My Maryland will have a place of its own and Bride and Maid must be- have very nicely or the new sorts will send them to keep company with Cornelia Cook and Catherine Mermet. The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. sent in vases of fifty each Eichmond, Killarney, Bride, Maid, Cusin and Bon Silene, which were excellent. By a unanimous vote the secretary was instructed to invite the Carnation So- ciety to make Pittsburg its meeting place for 1910.

Gar- denias are a bright, particular exception to the general rule. They are extremely fine for the season, fairly plentiful, and in excellent demand. The decline in other flowers is most noticeable in the poorer grades and in white, despite the large amount of funeral work, both in and out of town. It would be waste of time to enumerate the lower values in each variety of flowers. Suffice it to say that the decline is general, the pur- chasing power of a dollar having in- creased about twenty per cent since a week ago in ordinary grades, and from five to ten per cent in select grades. The other features of the market are the strengthening in the demand for Easter lilies, led by a special order for 1,000 blooms, presumably for the wed- ding of a prominent baiJcer'h daughter; the spasmodic demand for callas, which comes all at once and then is gone, and the heavy supply of really superb orchids, chiefly Cattleya Trianse. The minor features in the market are the increase in the quantity of violets and of single daffodils, and the livelier de- mand for greens, notably plumosus in bunches. The dullness in the local market was most apparent on January 7 and 8. Sat- urday, January 9, was not as good a clean-up as the six preceding Saturdays since Thanksgiving. The early part of the present week has opened quietly, with a few large social events, and some good shipping orders, but not enough to affect the market as a whole. Dorothy Gordon. The novelty committee of the Florists' Club visited Wyncote December 30 to see the new carnation, Dorothy Gordon, growing in the houses of the Joseph Hea- cock Co. The committee consists of Ed- win Lonsdale, J. W. Colflesh and Eobert Craig. Following is its report: "The variety resembles Eose-pink En- I chantress in color and form, but is su- perior to that variety, in being of a, more uniform color, and is also larger and of greater substance, and is appar- ently as free a bloomer, of stronger con- stitution and a stiffer flower stem. Your committee tested the keeping qualities, and find them to be good. The flowers were kept in an ordinary potting shed and were salable four days after being cut. ' ' The Ban Season. The ball season in Philadelphia was opened New Year's night by one of the most brilliant balls ever given in Hor- ticultural hall, that of Mrs. Wheeler. The decorations were beautiful, but need not be given here in detail. The Bene- dicts ', Mr. Elkins *, and the First Assem- bly followed in rapid succession. All gave abiudant opportunity to display the decorator's art. The decorations for the Assembly ball were fine. The well known ball-room in the Bellevue-Stratford is so handsome as to require but little adornment. This little the decorators, J. J. Haberm^l's Sons, added in the best taste. The color scheme was in red and white, scarlet azaleas, especially forced for the pur- pose, white azaleas, and white callas be- ing relieved by perfect specimen palms and banks of green. The supper room was filled with small tables. Each table had a vase of flowers, either red or white. For red, American Beauties were largely used, also poinsettias; for white, calla lilies. It is believed that more bouquets were carried at the Assembly this year than, for many years past. Among these bou- quets quite a number were made up in the old-fashioned style, such as grand- mother carried, with several varieties of flowers arranged stiffly in rows. The bouquet, when finished, was set oflE with one of those beautiful lace bouquet hold- ers, the like of which grandmother never even dreamed. Both H. H.

Kah- lert, manager for Pennock Bros., spoke with pleasure of the surprise his firm had felt at the increase in the Assembly de- mand, which for a number of years had been largely confined to the dinner table decorations for parties preceding the ball. The Surprise of the Week. The street is full of it I "Handsome Harry" has gone to Bice's! That was the word all through the wholesale dis- trict, with little sympathetic waves in many of the retail shops, where "Hand- some Harry" is such a favorite. "Who is itt" you say, "Is Phil driveling!" Not at all. Robert Schoek has retired from the wholesale commission world to accept a position with M. Bice & Co. His friends wish him every success. Varioos Notes. Paul Berkowitz, well and favorably known as a member of the firm of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., reports a strong de- mand for prepared green foliage, fern fronds, Sprengeri, and plumosus aspara- gus. His firm will make a specialty of St. Valentine's day boxes.

The demand was chiefly for gifts, violets being especially favored. Eugene Weiss, of Hatboro, Pa., who has been ill for a fortnight, is happily recovering. The Bobert Craig Co. has a fine thing in the scarlet seedling carnation. Bed Wing. It is planted closer than most varieties on the bench, and appears a fine producer of good salable flowers of a brighter scarlet than Beacon, a bread and butter sort, so to speak. J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry A. Dreer Co., will speak before the stu- dents at State College, near Bellefonte, Pa., January 15, his subject being * ' Civic Improvement. ' ' The Henry F. Michell Co. has received a large importation of begonias and gloxinias. Sydney Bayersdorfer has returned from a successful southern trip.

The continued open weather has been instrumental in keeping the market heavily stocked and, while there is now a good demand for social functions, it is insufficient to en- tirely absorb the supply. Roses are good and not overabundant. Killarney is now the most popular variety, followed by Richmond and Beauty. Carnations have dropped and are again to be had at $1 per hundred. Some of the leaders at present are Beacon, Fenn, Victory, Afterglow, Winsor, Enchantress, White Perfection and Octoroon. Violets are rather more plentiful and have likewise fallen in value. Sweet peas are constantly improving. In bulbous stock, quite a few La Reine tulips are arriving,' also some Cottage Maid. Golden Spur narcissus is also coming in more freely. Freesia is quite plentiful. Lilium longiflorum is of good quality. Speciosum is abundant, but does not sell well. About all of it appears to be the rubrum type. The white would sell better. Mignonette is good. Gar- denias are scarce, Cattleyas and Cypri- pedium insigne are in good supply. No change in asparagus, adiantum and other green goods supplies. VarkMM Notes. The executive committee have all plans perfected for ladies' night at the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, January 19, and the entertainment will be the best ever oflfered on a similar occasion. An attendance of 400 is anticipated. There will be fine exhibits and a host of other attractive features, which no one can af- ford to miss. There was a large and interested au- dience at Horticultural hall January 9 to hear W. H. Bowker speak on "The Yeast of the Soil.

They have a constant supply of Lilium longiflorum and speciosum. Helen Goddard carnation as grown by S. J. Goddard is still the finest carna- tion of its color as seen at the Park Street market. Welch Bros, are having a good season and shipping trade is exceptionally good. H. R. Oomley, who established a flower store some time ago at 6 Park street, is being well patronized. The Boston delegation to the carnation convention in Indianapolis will leave the South Terminal station Monday, Jan- uary 25, by the Big Four route, due to ar- rive in Indianapolis at 3 o'clock the fol- lowing day, going in ample time to secure suitable hotel accommodation.

The Market We are having some real winter weather, but business is reported as good, especially among those who dec- orate for large receptions and weddings ; they have been unusually busy with this sort of work since the first of the year. The downtown stores have been excep- tionally busy with funeral work. Supply was heavy last week in all lines, especially carnations, of which white and Enchantress sold best. Some pink and red were left over. Boses were not so plentiful and cleaned up fairly well each day. Good Beauties were in demand. Romans and Paper White nar- cissi are plentiful. Violets sold well and there was plenty last week for all de- mands. Smilax and galax are selling well, as well as all other greens. Vaiiotu Notes. C.

John Burke, who for the last three years ran a florists' business at 605 Locust street, left the city last week without advising any of his friends of his intention. The store has been sold to J.

HAMMONTON, N. J. William Colwell is contemplating add- ing more houses to his range this season. The plant now consists of seven houses and probably this space will be doubled before spring. Lettuce is his main crop. J. Murray Bassett, of Packard street, has added a propagating house and pot- ting shed to his already well-equipped place. The new house will be used for dahlias, Mr. Bassett 's specialty. Emile Lelache, of Waterford Works, has two nice houses of violets. The place consists ot about six houses, well stocked. Mr. Lelache, does a wholesale and retail business in Camden. He has decided to sell his place at Waterford Works, as business calls him nearer to the city. H. K.

Mr. Ott celebrates his fifty-first wedding an- niversary this month. WiNCHENDON, Mass. — The greenhouses conducted by William W. Rhuland have been badly damaged by fire. The loss was at first reported as over $4,000, but that estimate, apparently, did not include all the probable injury to the stock from smoke and exposure to the cold. Henry J.

Rawson & Co., Boston, are this year celebrating their twenty-fifth anni- versary. On the boat from Hamburg, reaching J^ew York January 9, Eoelker & Son had twenty-five cases of valley pips, and H. F. Darrow five cases. The seed trade is a unit in advocat- ing specific duties, but in a good many lines of manufactures the tariff framers are being told that ad valorem duties are the only fair ones. Now that the best stocks of the Globe varieties of onion seed are down to where they formerly were, it is thought that there will be much less chance of the planter trying to grow his own seed. The seed potato prices in some of the catalogues issued early are quite too low compared with the current market price of eating tubers. A change of condi- tions may even things up before shipping time, however. There has been quite an advance in the price of onions; 60 cents per bushel has been paid at the car during the week. If onions reach $1 per bushel during the next month it will mean a great deal to seedsmen by adding to the demand for onion seed. The house committee on agriculture, now at work on the annual appropriation bill, has inserted the usual paragraph providing for the congressional free seed distribution, bids for the stock for which are this week being received at Washington. J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, in- clude with this year's general catalogue, which by the way is the one hundred and eighth, an eight page order blank which makes it necessary for the customer to do no more than set down the quantities of vegetable seeds wanted and foot up the cost. The stiff cold weather of the past week has kept the onion set shipper guessing. Below zero weather is hard on an onion set shipment that is in transit during this temperature, even though it be contained in a refrigerator car. In this connection it is wqU to again state that frost does not hurt the onion set. The main thing to be remembered is to let them thaw out gradually and spread them out to allow the moisture to dry off. C. C.

The Maine seed-potato crop was short in 1908 and prices are advancing. Wm. F. Dreer, of Philadelphia, passed through Chicago January 7, en route to his winter home at Santa Barbara, Cal. Sluis Seed Store, the new firm at 644 West Sixty-third street, Chicago, is pre- paring to go after the market gardeners' maU order trade. It is reported that the winter-flowering sweet peas are being largely taken up in Germany, Anton C. Zvolanek having ap- pointed F. C. Heinemann, of Erfurt, as agent. The seed department of the German Nurseries, Beatrice, Neb., was established by Carl Sonderegger three years ago and is growing rapidly. The second year's business was double that of the first, while the business for 1908 has been treble that of 1907. A. H. Luck is in charge of this department and says the prospect is good for a stiU larger increase this year. At present 100,000 catalogues advertising the nursery and seed depart- ments are being sent out, 65,000 in English and 35,000 in German. The whole country seems to be looking toward Chicago for onion sets, both for present shipment and for the coming year's crop. It appears from reports that this crop can only be grown satis- factorily in that vicinity. It is strange that no enterprising concern at other points that might be just as suitable can be located. The Chicago set growers, however, are not complaining and are doing their best to meet the requirements. From present reports, an increased acre- FOR DECORATION DAY Rawsoo's Flower Market Stock Is the only Ideal stook in existence.

Reports generally show the seed trade to be in good shape to take care of the expected large increase of business for 1909. Most of the wholesale and retail catalogues are being circulated and the prices in one correspond with the other, in a manner that is gratifying. Uni- form prices are a good thing. The seed buyer will usually give his favorite firm the preference if the prices are equal. There is still a tendency to give new names to articles that are already stand- ards under other names, but if these items have been more carefully grown or more carefully selected it is something of a gain to the planter and works no loss to anyone. Wholesalers report good business and the mail order seedsmen are getting quick response from their catalogues and all hands consider the outlook bright. IMPORTS. The imports of seed through the port of New York for the week ending January 2 were as follows: Kind. Pkgs. Val. Kind Annatto 18 $ 2&S Mustard Anise 26 Canary 411 Pl£gs.

SEED SAMPLES. For several years the customs officials have been supplying the Department of Agriculture with samples of seeds as per the following order issued by the Treas- ury Department January 5: At the request of the Secretary of Agriculture It Is directed that, until July 1, 1009, 2-ounce samples of all importations of 100 pounds or more of grass, clover and forage-plant seeds be prepared at the earliest practicable date after entry and forwarded to the seed lalwratory. De- partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, labeled with names and. addresses of consignors and consignees, name of seed as given In the invoice, and quantity of the consignment. This is the sixth or seventh succes- sive year that this order has been issued in exactly similar language, but its ap- pearance this year is exciting some of the newspaper correspondents who think it something new; they try to read into it some reference to the proposed pure seed legislation, or the administration of the pure food laws. TENERIFFE. The Onion Seed Industry. The important and, 1 may say, the only cultivation in the island of Teneriffe which interests American seedsmen is the Teneriflfe-grown Bermuda onion seeds. Onions have been raised in Teneriffe for over 100 years, but the first attempt at exporting the Bermuda onion seed took place about sixty years ago, and the honor of the first exportations is due to Peter S. Eeid, of Puerto Cruz, Orotava. Gradually the business began to take some importance, and the cultivation of the Bermuda onion became a regular source of income to agriculturists over here. Lack of organization in this trade brought along with it bad faith on the part of some of the growers of seeds and seed dealers, who used to buy from small people and then resell to the exporters Stokes' Staadard New Crop Flower Seeds ARK MOW IN N«w Karly Branohlns Astar, a decided Improvement over the old Semple's Branch- ing—two weeks earlier.

The consequence of such unfair play was getting the exporter into great trouble with customers abroad, who also in turn had to suffer for it. At present, exporters have all become more conservative, and it is rare to find any complaint with the seeds shipped from here, inasmuch as through a care- ful selection of source of supply, and by increasing the exporter's own sphere of culture, the acreage now devoted to onions for seed has been reduced consid- erably as compared with four or five years ago. It is estimated that in the full boom of this trade about 100 acres of land were cultivated, but nowadays this figure has been brought down to something like fifty acres only; but undoubtedly the seed is much more select, and the stock is becoming purer and purer every year. Growinif the Crops. Onions are gathered in the month of July and then warehoused until Septem- ber or October, which is the time for planting to obtain seed the next fall. The land is treated in the same way as for planting potatoes; that is, making furrows about three feet apart, and the onions are planted one foot apart from each other. Before the planting takes place, the land is dressed with stable manure thoroughly mixed up with the soil. The onion plantations are never irrigated soon after the bulbs are in the ground, lest they should be injured, and it is only after the first showers or con- tinuous rains that the bulbs commence their germination. When the young plants have attained seven to eight inches, the work of culti- vating and destroying all weeds is pro- ceeded with. After this, and when the main shoot has taken some strength, farmers raise the soil around each plant, so that the roots may get a firmer hold r retail. Gladioli are a good catch crop and take up but little room. The lollowing are the best for this purpose: America.

ROCHXBTKR NEW TORK Mention The Review when you write- when the little flowers open up and show their black seeds. Once the ripe heads are gathered, they are laid on sheets in the open to dry, and at night are covered to avoid the dew, which would spoil the seeds. In this state thoy are left to dry in the sun during four to six days, and then they are taken up, and with a wooden hammer these heads are softly beaten down in order to get the seeds out of their en- velopes. The harvesting period lasts about a fort- night, or even more, because all the heads do not mature at the same time, and every day the ripe ones are picked, leaving the others until fully matured. This is an operation wliich requires much vigilance with the men at work, to be sure that all the seed is properly matured before drying. Once all is gathered and the seed col- lected, there is another process to free the seeds from straws, etc. The opera- tion is as follows: The laborers get a sieve on which the seed is put, ai)d, rais- ing said sieve above their heads, they sift the seed, which falls down on the ground, and at the same time the small straws, etc., are carried away by the wind. This is done several times over, but then the seed is not yet absolutely clean, and is carried under roof, where women sift once more the seeds in a finer-mesh sieve. Sometimes the seeds are strongly ad- hered to the skins of the heads, and the above operations are not sufficient to free them from impurity. In this case an- other process has to be put in hand ; namely, the water process. Now, this is one of the most impor- tant and risky things to be done in the whole manipulation of the seeds, and, as I will explain later, if the utmost care is not exercised, many evils may arise from the negligence of a few minutes. Cleanins in Water. When the onion seeds are to be cleaned this way, they are put into a receptacle full of water, and the little straws and empty seeds will float on the surface, while the seed, cleaned and good, will be deposited at the bottom of the tank. If by any negligence the seed is left in the water just one quarter of an hour, it will germinate, particularly should the weather be hot and the water get slightly tepid. Naturally, the inexperienced will be surprised to see the small white points on the seeds, but will think nothing more of it, since in being rubbed or dried in the sun, the small white points disappear and the seeds look quite equal to the rest; but such seed has absolutely lost all its natural germinating power, al- though being quite fresh. After taking the good seeds out of the tank they are put in the open to dry, but also in this care must be exer- cised not to make the layer more than half an inch thick, for if it is thicker the sun cannot get down to the first layer of seeds, which, keeping some quantity of moisture, will germinate and spoil. These operations cannot be left to hired people; they must be done under i Lily of the Valley PIPS Unexcelled Hamburar or Berlin. Tuberous Rooted Beg^onias. Gloxinias.

The regular exporters of seeds have ■come to understand these things and ex- ercise the most minute supervision over their crops in all details, so that they may be certain of the quality of the product. They will no longer purchase crops of the production of which they have no personal knowledge. Also, they are most careful in the selection of the bulbs for planting for seed purposes, so that there is steady improvement in true- ness to type. Federico C. Varela.

A banquet was given at the Chamber- lain hotel, Des Moines, la., January 4, by the Iowa Seed Co. to the heads of its different departments. Besides the two largest stockholders in the company, there were fourteen employees present at the banquet, each a head of a different department of the concern. C. N. Page, manager of the company, made the principal talk of the evening, urging sociability and friendliness among the different departments of the concern. One fact brought out was that more than half of the heads of the departments own stock in the company. A report for the year up to this time was made. The business for the five months just completed was more than sixty-three per cent above that of the previous year, and that of the last three months was double that for the corresponding months last year.

Egan, St. Paul, Minn. RocKFORD, III. — Fire broke out shortly after midnight, January 5, in the green- houses of J. W. Ingalls & Co. When the alarm was turned in the flames had com- plete possession of one house and had entered the two others belonging to the company. The fire department was able to check the fire, but much of the glass was broken and the stock ruined by the cold weather and water. Mr. Ingalls had not placed any estimate on his loss, but it will amount to several thousands of dollars. Two of the houses were erected last fall.

Prompt shipment to all points in Virginia, North Carolina and other slates 200,000 feet of glass to Cut flowers BALTIMORE. The Market. There was quite an improvement in the demand for flowers last week, all special stDck being ordered ahead or sold on sight. The social season is now on in earnest. Balls, dinners and weddings are of daily occurrence. One of the largest balls given this season was held at the Belvidere hotel, where red was the chosen color, using 1,500 red roses and 1,500 red carnations, besides an enormous quan- tity of potted plants. We were visited by' a cold wave, but it did not go lower than 16 degrees above zero and only lasted three days. We are now having sultry, cloudy weather, with the tempera- ture around 28 degrees. Roses show the bad effects of so much cloudy weather, being weak-stemmed and otf color. Carnations are equal to the demands. Sweet peas are coming in more plentifully, but move slowly. Jonquils have made their appearance in the mar- kets. Violets are seen in large quanti- ties; even the street fakers have them in large bunches, with prices to suit all. There are now on the market many azaleas which could not be gotten on the market for Christmas. They move slowly. Variotii Notes. Kobert Carl, one of the assistants at the Florists' Exchange, has been suffer- ing with what was thought to be blood poisoning. The origin of the trouble was proved to be a piece of glass one inch square, which had been in his hand for five years and was caused by falling through a greenhouse at T. Vincent 's, on Baltimore street. The glass was located by the use of X-rays. The Park Board, after carefully con- sidering the wants of the various public parks and squares in the city, has finally adopted a schedule of such improvements as it proposes making this year.

The Market With the cold wave which struck this vicinity and brought the mercury down to 17 degrees below zero, business for the first part of last week seemed to be frozen up, but improved considerably by Friday and Saturday. Stock shortened up a good deal, but as business was slack, there was enough to go around, especially in roses and carnations. Beau- ties, sweet peas, violets and bulbous stock have been plentiful since then, and the same can be said of green goods. Qub Meeting. Owing to the cold weather, the attcnil- ance at the last club meeting, held Jan- uary 7, was light. The retiring presi- dent, Fred Holton, asked C C. Pollworth to install the new officers, which he did in a most acceptable way. President- elect C. Dallwig then conducted the meet- ing in a masterly way, which, if kept up. ought to make this one of the club's most successful years. The matter of a flower show, to be held next fall, came up and a committee of three was appointed to gain informa- tion regarding a suitable place, etc., be- fore definite action as to holding a show will be taken. A letter from the State Board of Ag riculture, stating that suggestions wouM gladly be accepted regarding the alter- ations of the premium list for this year 's state fair, was at hand. This certainly is good news for prospective exhibitors. The chair appointed the following on the new entertainment committee: Gust Koesch, Will Zimmerman and Eugene Oestreicher. They, in turn, promised to hold a dance in the first part of Feb- ruary. Variotts Notes. The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports a steady cut. especially of carnations, from their own greenhouses.

January 14, 1909. dNONNATL The Market Business is mighty quiet in this city. We are glad to see ahnost any kind of a customer come in, no matter how small the order is. Somehow the bottom seems to have dropped out of business, for no special reason. There is no life to the demand. No one seems to want any- thing. The buyers for the various stores walk into the wholesale houses and don't seem to care whether they buy anything or not. As luck will have it, the supply of stock is not heavy and the greater part of the good stock is sold out at a fair prict^. There has been a pretty good out-of-town demand, which nas helped us a great deal. The small town florist is usually short of stock at this time of the year and we can figure on a pretty good shipping trade. The weather continues unsettled. We had some pretty cold weather last week and were led to believe that winter had come for sure; but we were mistaken again. It soon warmed up and another touch of spring was here. Now we are j)romised another big drop in tempera- ture, and I hope that a spell of cold, clear weather is in store for us, so that stock will have a chance to improve a little. The bad weather is making the roses look pretty sick and carnations are showing signs of splitting. Cold weather, with sunshine, is what we need. Qub Meeting. The meeting of the Florists' Society on Saturday evening, January 9, was a ilecided suci-ess. It was held at William Murphy's store, on Main street. There were over thirty members present and they got down to business in a way that shows what the Cincinnati boys can do when they get started. Many topics were discussed, all bearing, of course, on the convention of the S. A. F. Finally it was decided to appoint a committee of ten, who will liave full charge of the entertainment and various other matters. The following gentlemen were appointed: J. A. Peterson, C. E. Critchell, Albert Sunderbruch, D. Rusconi, Gus. Adrian, .1. W. Rodgers, Ed. Forter, Wm. Murphy, R. Witterstaetter and E. G. Gillett. -V meeting of this executive committee will be held Friday, January 15, at 2 p. m., at E. G. Gillett 's wholesale house, 1.31 East Thir^. -street. A special meeting of the Florists' So- ciety will be held at Weiland & Olinger 's, 136 East Third street, on Saturday, Jan- uary 2.3, at 8 p. m. After the business session was over, lunch, cigars, etc., were served, through the courtesy of William Murphy and C. E. Critchell, and all turned in with the usual florists' appetites. Everyone had a fine time and is anxious for the next meeting, at Weiland & dinger's. Various Notes. T. W. llardesty is back at his store, after a siege of the grippe, and R. D. Ruttle is keeping close to a good, warm fire, trying to get rid of an attack of the same trouble. Charles Jones is still confined to his bed and, from what we hear, he is in a pretty bad way. We hope, together with his many friends in this city, that he will be able to weather the storm. Walter Gray reports having cut his last mums January 7. The variety was Jerome Jones. His first mums were cut October 1 7. J. V. Poguo, of Coulthard & Pogye, re-. Largest stock of up-to-date varieties ever grown in Loomia.

If we have very early rains, watering is not necessary, but in a vast majority of cases the watering should be commenced about the end of August and several good soak- ings given at intervals of two weeks each. In this way a crop of flowers can easily be had at Thanksgiving and from that onward until the frosts make them slow to develop into bloom. A portion of the patch should be reserved and cov- ered with lattice frames as soon as the weather becomes severe. In this way, if the bulbs have been previously watered, they can be flowered perfectly with ab- solutely no trouble or loss and the stems will be much longer than anything grown in the open. When we have a mild winter, such as that of last season, there is no advantage in using frames, but the early and succes- sive plan of watering should not be neg- lected, as our rainfall usually does not commence until December, and when, in addition to this, as in the case of the present season, we have a cold snap as well, the season for good prices will long since have departed before the bulbs re- cover enough to bloom. A majority of the narcissi growers give their bulbs but little attention and as a consequence they do not blossom until the climatic conditions are favor- able, in which case they are one of the poorest paying articles that anyone can devote his ground to.

Holly trade was brisk and great quanti- ties were shipped away this year. The Fairview Greenhouses showed some excellent poinsettias, fifteen to eighteen inches across.

Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the largest, most progressive aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. It id a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties for indoor cul- ture; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

There are many remedies, home-made and in the market, for destroying San Jose scale, but the one that is easiest of preparation, and perhaps fully as ef- fective as any, is the lime, sulphur and salt solution, which is prepared as fol- lows: Lime, unslaked, twenty pounds; sulphur (flowers), eighteen to twenty pounds; salt, eight pounds; water, sixty gallons. Slake the lime in five or six gallons of hot water, using an iron kettle with a capacity of twenty-five ar thirty gallons. While fhe lime is slak- ing, sift in the sulphur gradually at the same tibie, keeping the mixture stirred and adding enough water to make a thick paste. Then add the salt and about ten gallons of water, and boil for nearly an hour. Pour through a strainer made of tin or brass wire, six- teen meshes to the inch. Add water to make sixty gallons, and the mixture is fit for use. Larger or smaller quantities can be made in the same proportions. The nature of the insect makes it evi- dent that if it is to be destroyed the agency of destruction must be so thor- ough in its work that not one can es- cape; otherwise further trouble may be looked for.

BUYING RADISH SEED. No forcing radish has ever been found to be superior to the old Scarlet Globe Short Top when really good, select stock is grown for seed, but seedsmen have so many high sounding names attached to every old thing in stock that the gardener cannot tell whether he is getting extra quality or regular grade by the names on the package. The right way for all hothouse grow- ers to do is to get acquainted with their seedsmen and explain what they want. The seedsman knows how much more "finest quality" means to t^e grower un- der such heavy expense, and he can fur- nish a really select lot of seed at a very little more cost than regular grade and a better investment cannot be made. H. G. STEM-ROT OF LETTUCE. I have made a business of lettuce un- der glass for four years and have read with interest everything in the Eeview on the subject. In the issue of Jan- uary 7 a correspondent gives an account of his troubles with stem-rot. One cannot grow lettuce without facing this diffi- culty. Last year I had a bench 4x50 feet sown to lettuce. As soon as the seeds were well on the way, they began to bend over, though the cotyledons were still plump and firm. Nearly one-third at one end of the bench perished by the time the second leaf was a half inch long. I used nitrate of soda, one heaping teaspoon to the gallon of water, and gave a liberal top watering; at the end of a week the stem-rot had called a halt. After two more applications, a week apart, I advertised, two insertions, in the Review, and sold from that bench 10,- 000 as fine, healthy and thrifty plants as were ever marketed. I would like others to try the remedy and report. I would say, further, that I never try to grow lettuce without the application of the nitrate of soda on first appear- Seeds for the Market Gardener it our specialty. Quality our first consideration.

MUSHROOMS VS. TOADSTOOLS. I would like to ask if there is any sure way of knowing a mushroom from a so-called toadstool, either by location in which it is found or by the form of fruit. I find lots of these coming up in my lettuce bed, and although they are just like the pictures of mulhrooms in catalogues, I would like to be sure, if possible, ,as I have enough for some profit. They look like big white balls pushing through the soil. I thought that from the sod and manure they had ger- minated themselves, as I understand that is the way spawn is produced. C. A. S. There is an old saying that the only sure way of telling mushrooms from toad- stools is by eating them. If you live, they are true mushrooms ; if you die, they must have been toadstools. A great many, however, of the so-called toad- stools, or fungi, are edible and of ex- cellent quality, some of them equal to the true mushrooms, Agaricus campestris. Many of the latter often appear in let- tuce, carnation, rose and other beds where cow, sheep or horse manure has been freely used. The common mushroom varies consider- ably in appearance, both according to soil, locality and the spawn from which it was grown. Those produced from American pure culture spawn are thicker- stemmed and heavier than the English Milltrack variety, the one most largely grown in Europe and America. The fleshy head is smooth or scaly on the upper surface, varying in color from white to different shades of tawny or fuliginous brown. The gills on the under side of the head are free, at first very pale, changing by gradations in age to pink, purple and brownish black. The stem is white, varied in shape, full, firm, furnished towards the top with a white, persistent ring. Mushrooms for market are usually picked when the gills are pink. They have a distinct odor from any of the other fungi and, with those who know, can readily be distinguished in this wav. C. W. FORCING CUCUMBERS. Raised Benches vs. Solid Beds. In different localities the growers of hothouse vegetables have many peculiarly different practices, both in the construc- tion of their buildings and in their cul- tural methods. It seems evident that some pioneer grower in each locality has been the guiding star for all the younger growers or new-comers going into the business in that locality. If a grower ap- pears to be successful in the business, others quickly follow his methods in every detail; so it is that in each forcing house community the places are all on There are no Dry Spots with The Skinner System of Garden and Greenhouse Irrigation. =^:^^=== Tki Skinner IrrJKation Co.

For instance, in forcing cucumbers, the growers about London, England, grow their cukes on raised beds, in nar- row houses, with only two benches in a house and the vines trained overhead, A-shape, parallel to the roof. In this country the methods are quite different. In the eastern states, especially around Boston, Mass., the growers all have wide houses, thirty to fifty feet across, and running east and west, with a shed roof or long span to the south. In these houses six to eight rows of vines are grown. The beds are not raised, but made on the solid ground. In the west- ern states the houses are built in con- nected ranges, with several houses in a section and no partitions between them. The houses are from twenty-five to thirty feet in width and they are equipped with raised benches, exactly as for growing cut flowers. In an argument on greenlrouse con- struction, an old, successful grower re- cently remarked that the style of house did not matter much, if only it was high and light.

The cost of building is far greater for raised benches than for solid beds, and if solid beds are as good, then why build raised beds! Solid Beds Gainiag In Favor. It was not many years ago that it was thought that cucumbers ^Vould not grow at all in winter on the low or solid beds, but recently many growers have been getting line crops from the solid bed houses. Personally, I prefer the low beds. I do believe that in fall or winter the plants on the raised beds do much better, but this one point is offset by their not continuing to bear as well as those grown on solid beds. In spring and summer, when the heaviest crop is grown, the solid beds are certainly to be preferred. The roots have more room and the soil does not dry out and bake hard, as it does in the raised benches in extremely warm weather.

There is a fairly gooji supply of carna- tions and the demand is also good. Longiflorums of good quality are on the market, but the call for them is a trifle slow. Violets are not moving so well as they did. The demand for bulbous stock is not as good as it ihight be. Sweet peas, freesias and sweet alyssum of good quality are used in funeral work. Green goods are in good supply and demand. The weather was cloudy and cold last week in this section, and has shortened stock somewhat. V«riout Notes. The fifty-seventh annual meeting of the Kentucky Horticultural Society is held at La Grange, this week, January 13 and 14. A visit to Leonard Knight 's farm, on the Harrodsburg road, found everything in good shape. Mr. Knight has two houses, 50x350 feet, devoted to vege- tables and is harvesting a good crop of lettuce. Twenty-two acres of ground are used for other crops. Another house is being built and will probably be used for violets next year. Beets, spinach and radishes are also grown by him in great quantities. S. S. Kelley is cutting some good car- nations. '* August Leclere, at the asylum, has been on the sick list, but is able to be out again. Fister Bros., on the Maysville road, have a good crop of cauliflower and let- tuce. J. Ferdinand Keller, manager of the J. A. Keller greenhouses, is busy with Easter stock and other work. K. H. Tacke, superintendent of parks, has. been busy with landscape work. Mr. Moore, the florist at the State University, has been cutting a good crop of Marechal Niel roses. The Michler Bros. Co, is busy with Easter and spring stock. Anderson & White say business is good with them. They have a good stock of ferns. Honaker is cutting good roses and carnations. J. P. Keller says roses and carnations are in good demand with him. He was also busy with funeral work last week. / Blue Grass. I AM much pleased with the Bbview and like it the best of any paper for the trade. — ^J. M. Hazlxwood, Vancouver, B. C.

The Market Trade has been brisk for the last week or so, as there have been a great many receptions and dances, and the numerous debutantes in the last two weeks have aided much in giving the florists plenty to do. On several oc- casions the decorations were elaborate, and the call for fancy grade stock has therefore been strong since Christmas. There has been a good sprinkling of fu- neral work, too. The Killarney rose is coming into favor more and more and promises to be a good rival of the old favorite. Brides- maid. Violets, sweet peas, valley and, in fact, all fancy stock have been at a premium for the last week. Varioof Notcfc The decoration for the inauguration of Governor Harmon was quite elabor- ate, both at the State House and at Memorial hall, where the ball was held. This was one of the biggest events in years, as there seemed to be unusual en- thusiasm shown. The whole city was decqrated with flags, bunting, etc., and made a beautiful sight, especially the electric arches, on which many flags were displayed. The city of Columbus will be called the Arch City in the future, as the elec- tric arches originated in Columbus some years ago and have proven such a good advertisement for the city that the North Side Board of Trade extended the arches several squares farther north some months ago, and now they are to run east and west on Broad street. So it can well be called the Arch City, with several miles of electric arches. There has been no meeting of the Florists' Club since the holidays, as everybody has been too busy. The Munk Floral Co. reports that stock is cleaned up daily and a great deal more could be sold. E. Metzmaier had hard work on sev- eral occasions to get enough stock for orders. The Franklin Park Floral Co. reports heavy business in decorating, etc. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has leased a big portion of the store of the C. T. Phillips Wall Paper Co., 44 North High street, and this will give them plenty of room for their increased busi- ness, which outgrew their old quarters at 47 North High street. Robert Schenck was in the city last week. J. M. GOLDEN GLOW THE EARLY YELLOW MUM Will be the Money Maker in 1909 Easy to grrow and easy to sell.

The Market The usual after-holiday depression in business made its appearance last week, and as there was little funeral work, stock piled up early in the week, which always means a cut in prices. There was practically no demand for any kind of cut flowers, and stock had to be forced on the buyer. With dark and cloudy weather prevailing, there has been no heavy cut of anything, and under normal conditions stock would have been cleaned up each day. Tulips have made their appearance, but are not eagerly sought, on account of the short stems. There are quanti- ties of narcissi, Romans, valley, callas and carnations. The only short cut is on roses, which are a little oiflP crop, but there is still plenty to supply the de- mand. Violets, heretofore in short sup- ply, are also to be had in quantity. Beauties are scarce and poor. On Saturday, January 9, the street faker made his appearance on the down- town streets — an unusual condition for so early in the season, at least in Cleve- land. Variou* Notes. Bobert Kegg -has been sending in some fine stevia, as well as a good cut of Enchantress carnations. F. R. Williams is taking a winter va- cation in the south, spending some time in Florida as well as making a trip to Cuba and the places of interest in the vicinity. Cliff & Son have opened a branch store at the corner of Superior and East Ninety-second streets. After years of faithful service in the employ of the J. M. Gasser Co., B. S. Bobens has left for Sewickley, Pa., where he will go into business for him- self, having bought out the store of H. C. Bucheler, of that place. B. Hersinoton's book on mums seat bj the Keview for 50 cents. I WOULD not do without the Beview at any price. It is a clean and up-to-date paper, and gives a world of informa- tion on all work pertaining to our line. — Frank Veith, Woodlawn, Md. Asparagus, Ferns, Rooted CutUngs, Etc. AsparaKna PlamosDa. .

State of Trade. ' Business was not so good last week. There is general complaint among the store men. Stock of all kinds is plenti- ful, roses particularly so. The Gude Bros. Co. is cutting some of the finest Killarney and Maryland ever seen in this vicinity. A vase of Maryland shown January 8 had stems four feet nine inches long. This firm also is cut- ting some fine white lilac. Various Notes. Geo. Cook had a large dinner for Sena- itor Depew January 5, using 200 Killar- ney roses and white lilac, and the next day he had another for the same table, • using jonquils and mignopette. At the reception given by Secretary Bonaparte the centerpiece was worth special mention. It was made of yellow roses, cypripediums and oncidiums. Poinsettias were used through the house. The work was done by Z. D. Blackistone. Clark Bros., on the Bladeiiburg road, are sending in some good double poin- settias. Small & Sons had the decoration for the Townsend ball in honor of Miss Ethel Eoosevelt. This was an elaborate affair. The decorations extended over the two floors. Lilacs, azaleas and palms, Ameri- can Beauty and Killarney roses were used by the hundreds. It required six van loads of blooming stuff alone and two bads of palms. Another affair of last week was the Bachelors' German at the New Willard hotel. The entire banquet hall was done in red and green, poinsettias and Beauties. The 250 corsages were of red carnations and the 250 boutonnieres of the same color. The regular club meeting for February was ladies' night. At the business meet- ing Henry Trail, of Frederick, Md. ; John Allen and , Albert .. Esch were elected to membership. The flower show commit- tee made its final report, showing a good balance on the right side of the ledger. Gude Bros. Co. exhibited a vase of My Maryland roses, and the awards commit- tee, John Bobinson, Geo. Cook and Peter Bisset, gave it a special first-class certifi- cate. After the adjournment there was a program of music and dancing, fol- lowed by refreshments. W. K. Smith, who has been quite ill, is on the mend. This has been a week of visitors. S. S. Pennock, Mr. Meehan, Mr. Fancourt, Mr. Bayersdorfer, Jr., Martin Heukauf, Mr. Eschner and Mr. Skidelsky, all of Philadelphia, were here. O. O.

They are: President, C. H. Woolsey; vice-president, J. J. Soper; secretary, S. M. Sadewater; treasurer, C. W. Johnson. A resolution of sympathy was pre- sented and passed, ezp^ssing condolence to J.

Among those present was Louis Bauscher, of Freeport. The organization starts out with twenty members, but the list will increase rapidly, it is expected.

Why do you recomnfend attaching the expansion tank to the return near the boiler, rather than to the flow pipe at the highest point? A, B. E. If the expansion tank were placed at the high point on the riser, the hottest water would be driven into the expansion tank instead of through the system. With the expansion tank on the return, the hot water is driven through the pipes and the expansion is cared for by driv- ing the coolest water in the system into the tank instead of the hottest. L. C. C. SMALL RISER PREFERABLE. Many thanks for the piping layout for hot water which you gave me in a recent issue of the Review. I am using a 2-inch flow to feed twelve li/^-inch returns thirty feet long, as you recom- mended, and think it is going to work all right. A friend tried to persuade me to put in a 3-inch flow, saying there would • be too much friction in the 2-inch flow to feed that number of returns, claim- . ing the water would have to run so much faster in the flow pipe. How was he in error? A. B. K. The small riser induces a rapid flow in the riser, which is merely a conveyor, and allows the work to be done in the returns, which a^ in reality the radiat- ing pipes. L. C. C. HEATING A FRAME. I thought of trying an experiment in the way of heating a hotbed in which I have planted violets. I will try to explain everything as clearly as I can and would like for you to give me an answer to the questions I ask and all the help you can. The bed is 4%xl2V^ feet, made of 1-inch planks, double walled, with sawdust between. All told, the wall is four inches thick. The bed is en the south side of a shed and the north side of the bed is just about four inches from the wall of the shed. I have the water tank in the shed and run the pipe down and out into a coil in JENNER Smokeless Coal The best smokeleu coal mined for florists' use.

For covering the bed I have used the heaviest grade plant-bed cloth with a good painting of white lead and linseed-oil, which makes it water-proof. 1 have the covering made in sections and can ventilate when necessary. I can keep the water in the tank boiling hot, or not so hot if necessary. I would like for you to tell me if you think this ar- rangement will Avork. If you don 't think it will, can you suggest something simi- lar that will? I don't want to fix any- thing too expensive, but something that will keep the bed warm enough to raise the violets successfully. The covering that I used for the bed lets in consid- erable light when it is on the bed, about like oiled paper or perhaps more. T. H. I do not think your plan for heating the violet frame will work well, if at all. If the heating tank was on a level with the surface of the soil in the bed and the flow pipe was taken out of the top of the tank and the return connect- ed with the bottom, or side near the bot- tom, you would then have the elements of a heating plant, but you can not well make the water circulate through a loop lower than the heating plant. In fact, I believe the water might be boiled in the tank for some time without modify- ing the temperature in this loop to any great extent. If the heating plant was in a cellar or pit and the piping on a level with or slightly above the tank it would be all right. L. C. C. The Beview will send the Book of Grafted Rosea for f>5 cents.

Philadelohia CRACKS IN BOILER. What can be done to stop a small crack in a cast iron hot water boiler? I have heard that meal put in the boiler would expand and stop the leak. A. B. E. It is sometimes almost impossible to stop leaks from small cracks unless they can be closed by rust. Sometimes it is possible to drill the boiler and place a plate on the inside and clamp it tightly against the side of the boiler, using a gasket washer as a cushion. Sometimes stove cement can be used on the outside. It bakes on and closes the crack. L. C. C. BUFFALO. The Market Business has kept very good since New Year's.

There is a movement on foot to plant trees all over the avenues, parks and banquettes. A considerable number of palms have been planted already, but good shade trees are also needed.

The new year opened with a rush of work for the florists and decorators, the numerous coming out halls, together with receptions, dinners, teas and other social functions, making a decided improvement in tne local situation. Then, too, the in- auguration of state officials, as well as of the municipal governments of the five cities, also stimulated the demand for cut flowers and floral designs. It is conser- vatively estimated that at the inaugura- tions of 1908 more than $2,000 worth of floral work fell to the florists, being well scattered among the leading firms of the five cities. Providence, naturally, receiv- ing the cream. This year the record of 1908 was left far in the rear and few years have witnessed such rich displays as were to be seen when the new legisla- tive bodies took up their duties. Viiriotis Notes. There were forty-six designs and bou- quets at the funeral of Ira E. Goff, Jan- uary 9. These included several emblem- atic pieces from various associations with which the young man was afUiated. Mrs. A. Olsen, of East Providence, furnished seventeen of the pieces. John Gunn, of the Pine Grove Conser- vatories, Woonsocket, reports a big run on potted plants and funeral pieces. Simon Colitz, of the Kustic Flower Store, has removed from 75 Main street to 306 Main street, Woonsocket. Previous to his removal he conducted a successful auction sale. Fred B. Luther furnished the handsome floral arch of maidenhair and American Beauties that was presented to Mayor Fletcher on inauguration day by the Cen- tral Club. W. B. Hazard furnished the immense fac-simile of the state seal that was pre- sented to Governor Pothier. The anchor was of violets and the outline of the seal was of carnations. Edward Brooks and O'Connor have been especially busy with elaborate decor- ations since Christmas. The floral pieces received by Governor Pothier on inauguration day were sent by him to the Church of the Holy Ghost to decorate the altars on the occasion of pontifical requiem mass for the repose of the souls of those who lost their Uves in the Italian earthquake.

Januaby 14, 1909. LENOX, MASS. The evening being an ideal one, on Saturday, January 2, the members of the Lenox Horticultural Society turned out in full force to support the newly elected oflScers, which argues well for the new year. The meeting was full of interest from start to finish. Allan Jenkins occu- pied the chair. Arthur Heseaux and James Dennie were elected active mem- bers. Percy Ellings was unanimously elected assistant secretary. It was voted to hold the society's an- nual ball, which is always looked forward to with much interest in Lenox and its vicinity; also a dinner. The committee for the former consisted of J. Clifford, H. P. Wookey and W. Jack; for the latter, E. Jenkins, A. H. Wingett, A. J. Loveless, S. Carlquist and F. Herremans. The dates are to be decided by the com- mittees. The following question was asked and created lively discussion: What is the proper depth to lay drain tile? The depth recommended by those present, for average soils, was from three to four feet, from thirty to forty feet apart, though instances were mentioned where drains laid to the depth of four feet, in heavy clay soils, had failed to bring about the desired result. From two and a half to three feet, in heavy, tenacious soils, had been found more satisfactory. It must be taken for granted that the shal- lower the drains are laid the closer they should be together. For instance, drains laid at the depth of four feet should be eflfective for a distance of twenty feet on either side; consequently forty feet apart is considered the proper distance, while drains laid at a depth of three feet or less should be correspondingly closer to- gether. Another question was: Is bleeding in- jurious to vines or trees? The general opinion was that bleeding, as it is under- stood horticulturally, is not necessarily dangerous to vines or trees in a thorough- ly healthy condition, and while it is not recommended to willfully prune vines or trees at a time when they are apt to bleed, numerous instances were cited where maple and birch trees had bled quite profusely and yet showed no signs of material injury. Still another question was: Why are standard fruit trees planted in preference to pyramid or bushf The consensus of opinion was that pyramid or bush trees are preferable to standards in many ways, chiefly because nearly three times as many can be planted per acre, they are much easier to prune and keep clean, can be got into full bearing in less time and produce better fruit, though they are not so long-lived as standards.

MONTREAL. The Market After a week of mild and sloppy weather, we are now getting a cold spell, with the thermometer down to 12 degrees below zero. On the whole, the weather has been very agreeable so far. Since the holidays trade has continued to keep up splendidly and stock is in fine condition. Funeral work in large quantities, with many big designs, is keeping us all busy. Various Notes. We report, with sorrow, the death of Mr. Hall, father of the well-known mem- ber of the firm of Hall & Bobinson. A serious loss occurred this week to Mrs. White, when fire destroyed her pretty little bower. She has arranged to carry on her business as usual a few doors west of her store, and we hope the loss will soon be recovered. She de- serves great credit for the attractive way she had decorated her place for the holidays. A recent letter from F. Bennett re- ports him to be doing well in Victoria, B. C. Mr. Bennett is growing some beautiful roses, especially the Mrs. Jar- dine variety. His carnations are also in fine shape. Campbell's report "lota of work and good stock." The Canadian Floral Co. keeps its windows among the most attractive in Montreal. C. Smith, of Lachine, says it is easy to dispose of all his stock. J. Bennett has some good mushrooms at present, some of them weighing near- ly half a pound each. Tommy. LOUISVILLE, KY. Business has been rather poor since Christmas. New Year's day trade was disappointing. Boses and carnations are plentiful and are selling at low prices. Other stock also is abundant. A few tulips are coming in, but are not in de- mand. There also is enough green goods on the market. The weather has been rather changeable. Wednesday and Thursday, January 6 and 7, were quite cold, but Sunday we had summer time again. K. B.

SING THE PRAISES OF Marjorie Qould Sets New Style in Bouquets for Debutantes La Pompadour, Deslamed by her Clever Mother, takea Society by Storm. From the New York Evening Journal, January 11, 1909. What promises to become one of the greatest fads in society is the new floral piece, "La Pompadour." such as was carried by Miss Marjorle Gould, at her coming- out dinner and dance at the Hotel Plaza. The creation, which consists of American Beauty roses, ferns and lilies of the valley, was made by Alex McConnell , society florist. "La Pompadour" is a loose bunch of flowers arraneed in pyramidal form, stand- ing about two feet in height. It required much effort on the part of the young debutante to carry it. Miss Gould's floral piece was the idea of her«talented mother, Mrs. George Gould. She wished for something elegant but plain, and with the aid of Mr. McConnell, designed "La Pompadour." Bordi^ng the roses is a fringe of lilies of the valley that fall over a ruche of blush pink chiffon spangles with crystal dew drops. This is fitted into a holder of lace made of blush chiffon on which a lace desigb is painted in white. The latter is puffed and shirred and has the artistic French touch, which makes the new creation one of the most exquisite floral designs known. Tied around the stem ia a broad pink satin ribbon, veiled with dew drop chiffon, making a big bow with long ends. BKWARE OV IMITATIONS. Infringers will be prosecuted.

As is well known in the trade, the F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., took time by the forelock in the matter of White Eallamey rose and last season bought half the stock of the originator, the Waban Eose Conservatories. The accompanying illustration shows one of the splendid big houses at Scarboro de- voted to White Killarney. The photo- graph was taken only a few days ago, ]U8t after the house had been inspected by the awards committee of the New York Florists' Club. It was a sight that will gladden the heart of any rose grower and the New York committee gave White Killarney a score of 89 points and recom- mended the award of the club's certifi- cate. In F. E. Pierson 's eyes there is a spe- cial interest attaching to the illustration on this page, showing the vase of White Killarney roses,- The receptacle is a specimen of Eookwood pottery and was a Christmas gift, last month, to Mr. Pier- son, from his employees at the Tarrytown section of his business. He prizes it above any of the many fine trophies his stock has won on the exhibition tables throughout the country. ROSE PLANTS TURN YELLOV. Please state what is the matter with the rose plants sent you today. They are of the variety Bridesmaid and were plai^ted in August in a rather heavy, clayey compost, about one-quarter rotted cow manure. They seemed to start all right and I expected to get fair returns from them by next spring, but about December 15 we noticed that they all acted like the enclosed plants, turning yellow and dying, although an examina- tion of the roots showed thfem to be in a healthy state. They were planted in solid beds, were not overwatered at any time and were allowed to dry out occa- sionally. Can we do anything to save them or would you recommend throwing them outt The temperature at night is from 58 to 60 degrees, and in the day- time from 64 to 68 degrees, with all the air possible. Golden Gate and Ivory, grown under the sapie conditions, are doing nicely. E. T. After a very careful examination of those plants, I fail to find any trace of disease. The plants seem to have been weak from the start, and when weak stock is planted as late as August it has a hard road to travel. Such stock usually holds up until the short days come, when steady firing has to be kept up, and then the strain is too much for them. By keeping the surface well stirred up and making no attempt to force by feeding or otherwise, they may do some- thing by spring. The temperature is just right. EiBES. MILLIPEDS. I recently received a shipment of Asparagus Sprengeri, and upon investiga- tion found the roots infested by a small army of crustaceous creepers, I am send- ing you in a bottle a number of live specimens and I would esteem it a favor if you would tell me what they are and how to exterminate them, and also what danger there is of their spreading to other plants. Also, is there danger of their boring into the woodwork of benches, etc.? As a general description I would say of these insects that they at first sight appear to resemble a wire- worm, only they are of a dull color, simi- lar to the common wood louse, which they again resemble in being sort of armor- clad, which crunches when crushed under fo«t. They are slow moving and seem to have difficulty in climbing even the edges of a smooth saucer. They are about tnree-f ourths of, an inch long and with nearly an even width of about one- sixteenth of an inch. On each side are so many legs that the common wood louse is not in it. When touched they coil up iij a spiral, similar to the way the wood louse rolls into a ball. The invested plants seem honeycombed betweei the roots and nodules and the pest has such a powerful grip of the jaws that it is quite hard to pick them out with the point of a knife. Sometimes I cijt the body in half in trying to get the insect out of its hole. E. M.' A. The crustaceous creepers you received are commonly known as thousand-legs or millipeds. They are common in soil unuer glass, which has become somewhat old and sour. In tomato houses they are sometimes so abundant as to almost cover the soil surface. I do not find these to be destructive. They can be destroyed Rose Wliite Killarney. Ill ij I ii ' Jaxuaby 21, 1909.. The Wcddy Florists* Review. Z^Tf^^V^^^^ r^ • Hf- wf-TWT^PT^ Y?^ 9.

In the Keview of December 24, page 10, I saw an item aboi^ the use of cin- ders in a eon<»ete wall. Can we use the ashes and cement without the addition of any sand? We have been thinking of putting a walk in front of our green- house, and we should like to know how we must mix the cement so that it will stand the passage of a load of coal over it, as we put our coal in from the front. E. L. B. When cinders are used for concrete, it is best to sift out the finer ashes and take out the larger clinkers. No sand is required. I am not quite so certain that this concrete would stand on a sidewalk where heavy loads have to be taken over it. The usual method of mixing with gravel in the proportion of six or seven parts of gravel to one of cement ought to serve for this purpose. Rises. CINDERS IN CONCRETE WALLS. In the Eeview of December 24, page 10, you tell about* making a concrete wall from ashes or cinders and cement. 1 should like to ask if it is best to sift all fine ashes from the cinders. How thick a wall would be most satisfactory for holding the sides of a greenhouse where the sashbars are sixteen feet long, and would it be best to put a section of woven wire fence through the wall? It seems to me that this is an important question and deserves a thorough reply, f«r if the florist can work up his cin- ders into sides for greenhouses, he in- ''yr»)'fer»)'fer»)'fer»>'fer»>'^^ 1 SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS Lilies. From the number of inquiries being received, quite a few growers are getting anxious about their lilies and wondering if they will be in season. From the time this will appear in print until Easter is just eleven weeks. To be sure of their being in season it should be possible to see the buds with the advent of Lent (March 3 this year). This allows us five additional weeks for growing the plants before the buds are due to have the flow- ers on time. If the shoots are now eight to twelve inches high, they must not be subjected to a higher night temperature than 45 to 50 degrees at night. If they are six inches high, they will come along all right if allowed a minimum of 50 to 55 degrees. If, on the other hand, they are still later and merely coming through the soil, do not let the night temperature fall below 55 degrees. It is unwise to try any forcing tactics now. Wait until the pots are well filled with roots, when 10 degrees more heat can be safely ap- plied. Once you can see the buds, a brisk heat can be given any of the lag- gards with perfect safety. Pick out and consign to the rubbish heap all diseased plants, which unfor- tunately are still so abundant in many places as to almost discourage growers. A fumigation once a week will keep aphis in check. Where longiflorums are wanted for Memorial day trade, the bulbs can now be potted at any time. They will lose vitality if kept longer in the cases and can easily be held back for the last week in May. JANUABY 21, 1900. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Spiraeas. The early part of February is suffi- ciently early to start spiraeas wanted for Easter, but a few pots are useful at any time with retail florists, the sprays be- ing excellent in design work. The old variety, S. Japonica, will come in season in two weeks less time than the newer and improved varieties, such as Glad- stone, astilboides and grandiflora. The three last named sorts are such great im- provements over S. Japonica that the lat- ter is really haVdly worthy of any ex- tended culture, although it has accept- ably filled the bill for a long period of years. Be sure all the spirsea balls are well soaked before being potted. Easter plants can be started in any ordinary greenhouse, but where you want some early, a night heat of 65 degrees and plenty of moisture are requisites. The new pink spiraea, Queen Alexandra, is the most beautiful of the family. Its price, unfortunately, remains rather high for commercial growers. To have it well flowered for Easter, the plants of this grand novelty should now be placed in a hous^ kept at 50 degrees at night. Gloxinias. It is not too early to start a small batch of gloxinias for early flowering. These will flower in season for Memorial day, at which time they will be found acceptable. If you have not grown your own tubers, secure a good strain from one of the many dealers advertising in the Review. They are offered at low rates. Start the tubers in flats of sand, potting them up when the growths have started nicely. After watering well once, wait until signs of growth appear before damping again. Continued wetting will sometimes cause the tubers to decay. When potting, use a compost of fibrous loam, dry cow or sheep manure, broken charcoal and sharp sand. In starting gloxinias a minimum temperature of 60 degrees is necessary. Fancy Gdadiums. Caladiums are not so much grown com- mercially as their beauty and extreme usefulness would seem to warrant. For summer decorations they are invaluable, being superior to flowering plants, which latter speedily drop to pieces during tor- rid weather. They are also useful in tropical bedding, as well as for use on sheltered piazzas in boxes or vases. The roots, which have been wintering in a warm, dry shed, can now be shaken out and laid on a bed of moss in a propa- gating case, or on a bench where they can get a brisk bottom heat. Scatter a. little sand or broken moss over the tubers and water sparingly until growths start. Pot up as roots and growths ap- pear and keep in a warm, moist heat. Of course these caladiums may be started two months hence and be in season for bedding-out purposes, but those placed in heat now will be fine, well furnished plants by early summer, at which time they will sell better than later in the season. Marguerites. Marguerites intended for Easter flow- ■eri'ng should be placed in their flowering pots without delay and will come along nicely in a night temperature of 48 to ■50 degrees. No more pinching must be done or the plants will be a little too late. Marguerites require lots of water and will be benefited by frequent water- ings of liquid manure when well rooted in the pots. House of Ouysantiiemum Belfast. Memorial day stock should be shifted along before the balls become matted. To secure a fine quality of fiowers at that date, plant out some of your stock in a shallow bench. These will not bloom so well for Easter as if kept in pots, but for May and June flowering they are to be preferred. Put in a good batch of cuttings now. They can be carried in pots during the summer and will prove useful for early winter flowering when mums are on the wane. For the leaf -miner, which attacks mar- guerites, spray or dip the plants in nico- tine extract, taking care to wet all the foliage thoroughly. Use the nicotine double the strength required for aphis. Propagation. Now that the steam or hot water pipes are constantly warm is the time to keep the propagating benches well filled with cuttings. It is much easier rooting the majority of plants now than later in the season, when there is more solar and less bottom heat. Coleus, alternantheras, heliotropes, crotons, dracsenas, pandanus, marantas, achyranthes, strobilanthes, acalyphas, hibiscus and many others re- quire a warm propagating bench, and if shaded from the sun's rays and well watered, will root surprisingly fast. Ver- benas should be rooted in a cooler house, where also carnations, chrysanthemums and plants needing cooler culture will root better. Now is the time to get in cuttings of any good mums you intend to grow more largely another year. Pot these off when rooted and later transfer to a bench or flats, where they will give you a big crop of fine, succulent cuttings for May and June, which is as early as the average florist needs to take his cut- tings. Eemember that if you let your propagating bench become dry, many of your cuttings will be lost and even those which do root are hardened and injured. Plenty of moisture should al- ways be given until the cuttings are rooted, afterwards a lessened supply. Pots and Flats. At this season there is more time than during any other part of the year for overhauling the pot supply. Take advantage of any spare hours to wash or at least rub out the insides of the pots and stnck them on shelves, each size by itself. It is, of course, most impor- tant that the insides of the pots are clean, as plants placed in dirty pots can never be turned out with clean balls. We are. still waiting for a pot which will not become green and slimy, also for some preparation which will prevent this material from growing on the pots, with- out harming the plants. Now is also the time to prepare a good- ly supply of flats for the sowing of seeds and for transplanting bedding stock, carnations, mums and other plants into. A convenient size for these flats is from twenty-four to thirty inches long, nine to twelve inches wide and anywhere from three to four inches deep. Half- inch stock is the best to use, except across the two ends, where pieces three-quarters of an inch thick are to be preferred. A CHRISTMAS CHRYSANTHEMUM In the last few years great progress has been made in lengthening the chrys- anthemum season in point of earliness, but Willis E. Hamilton, of Belfast, Me., says he has found it fully as desirable to lengthen the season at the other end. In other words, it is as much worth while to have chrysanthemums after the recog- nized season as it is to have them while they must compete with asters and other summer flowers. Mr. Hamilton lengthens his season to Christmas and later with a variety of his own raising, called Belfast, in honor of his home town. This variety originated with him a number of years ago and was exhibited February 10, 1908, before the New York Florists' Club under the name of Eadiant. The accompanying illustra- tion shows his house of it, photographed December 12, 1908. He cut the entire house out clean for his Christmas trade. Last year he cut his last blooms April 11, which gave him chrysanthemums for Easter. Belfast is light pink in color, the blooms running of large size and carried on strong stems that will hold the flowers up in salable shape for a long time after the cutting. Mr. Hamilton says he has been able to bring it into flower at any time from November 15 onward to April, but that it has paid him best to bring it in especially for Christmas. u The Weekly Florists' Review.

It is not generally known, but is nevertheless a fact, that strawberries are an easy plant to force in winter, and, although not grown commercially on ac- count of the indoor crop not being profit- able,^ they might well be grown to sell as window decorators or pot plants, much as the ornamental peppers are now so much used.! There would be only a limited de- mand, but I have often thought it It is well to stake up the clusters of blooms before berries get heavy. The red spider is fond of strawberry leaves and must be watched carefully. Keep the walks and under the benches moist, and if this pest appears, turn each leaf by hand and spray with 5 fine spray, using some of the liquid prepara- tions. The plants will be worthless if any insects cripple the foliage. Ordinary, good, fibrous rose or carna- tion compost makes good soil for straw- berries. Varieties having medium sized. At Joseph Heinl & Sons', Jacksonville, lU. strange that some of the clever, enter- prising growers of pot plants for the big stores did not risk a bench of straw- berries. The process of forcing is simple. Young runners are rooted from old plants in the field in the summer and potted into small pots, or 2i^-inch or 3-inch pot-grown plants can be purchased of many dealers in August. If these plants are fine, healthy and well rooted, they can be potted upon arrival into 5-inch or 6-inch pots and plunged into some good drainage material, such as sand, ashes or shavings, in the cold- frames. Ashes really make the best drainage. The pots should not touch, and this gives a better chance to pack the ashes around each pot up level with the top, to keep them from drying out by the winds too much. They require careful attention for a while, to keep them growing well, and the earlier in August the plants are purchased the bet- ter they will be established before frost stops their growth. After freezing weather sets in they may be protected with straw or leaves, so as to be able to get at them when wanted. Housing the Plants. They should be brought in like bulbs or dormant ramblers, and kept in a house little above freezing at first, say 35 to 40 degrees at night and up to 50 degrees in the daytime. After two or three weeks the temperature can be raised about 5 degrees, and at the end of five weeks they will be blooming and may then be run 5 degrees higher, or 50 to 60 degrees, and so on until the crop is ripened, making gradual advances in the temperature like advancing spring outside. But it must be kept in mind that strawberries are a cool spring fruit and must not be run too hot. Never let the day temperature get more than 15 degrees higher than the night temper- ature; 10 degrees variation is better. well shaped fruit, and known to be very prolific, are usually better for forcing than novelties, extra large or very early sorts. H, G. THE HEINL PLACE. The accompanying illustrations show two views of the establishment of Joseph Heinl & Sons, Jacksonville, 111. In the lower picture the old range, which Jo- seph Heinl built up through years of close attention to business, is shown, while at the left in the picture one-half of the new range, built since the sons were admitted to partnership, is shown. out well, the slowest sellers being the one*' time favorites, Bride and Bridesmaid. We expect to see few of either of these varieties grown another season. ELil- larney and its white sport are likely to almost entirely displace them. Carna- tions are a little less abundant and sell- ing better at last week's prices. Violets remain about the same. The supply is now ample for all requirements. Dutch bulbous stock is more abundant and of good quality. In addition to Golden Spur, other narcissi seen are Em- peror, Henry Irving, poeticus ornatus and Campernelle. There is a good supply of callas, lilies, sweet peas and other seasonable flowers. No change in adian- tum, smilax and asparagus. Qttb Meeting. Ladies' night, as usual, attracted a big gathering to the meeting of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, about 350 ladies and gentlemen being present. The newly elected officers were installed and made short addresses. President Downs, who was warmly applauded on taking the chair, in course of his remarks reviewed the last few years of the club's existence and urged the continued use of its strength and influence as an incentive to members to keep up their interest and work for still better results. With the large membership they should be able to work for matters of interest to the mem- bers outside of the general work of the club, and show to those who do not be- long that they cannot afford to stay out- side the ranks. In the way of speakers and subjects to be discussed, he expected to keep to and surpass previous years, and thought the policy of outlining a pro- gram of subjects a year in advance worthy of adoption. The annual banquet, picnic and other matters were referred to, and a littie more entertainment of a lighter vein urged. The value of the ex- hibition table was commented upon, also the fairness, promptness and ability shown by his predecessor, who left the chair with a big membership and the good will of all. He urged all to work together for the club's welfare and closed by quoting these" lines: Establishment of Joseph Heinl & Sons, Jacksonville, 111. In the upper picture two of the older houses occupy the foreground, but the new service house is shown at the right and between it and the windmill the ends of the new range of houses. BOSTON. The Market A great part of the last week was sunless. This had the effect of consid- erably reducing cut flower receipts. This did not improve business, as stores do not get customers during dark, s^tormy weather. Roses are of fine quality and not overabundant. They are clearing Do what you can, being what you are; Shine like a glow-worm if you can't like a star. Work llk3 a pulley If you can't like a crane; Be a wheel greaser if you can't drive a train. Vice-president Duncan promised to do his level best to help maintain the club's best traditions. Secretary Craig, in the course of his remarks, favored the au- dience with a few statistics. The largest attendance in 1908 was at the May meet- ing, when 112 were present; 235 at- tended on carnation night, and 325 on ladies' night. The average for all meet- ings was 170. Forty-six new members were admitted. January was the banner month for receipts, February and Decem- ber following. The receipts during 190$ were nearly $100 larger than in 1907. ■■^vy'^: JAXDABT 21, 1009.

During the year the secretary mailed 4,774 circulars to members, 1,525 postals and 929 other pieces of mail. He antici- pated a prosperous year in 1909 and as- sured the members that no effort would be spared to make the club helpful to as many as possiblej The absence ol the worthy treasurer, Edward Hatch, at Miami, Fla., was much regretted, his humorous and genial re- marks always having been a feature of previous inaugural nights. The assistant treasurer, Peter M. Miller, reported re- ceipts of $809.50 during the year and a good balance on hand. Thirteen new members were elected. A committee was appointed to consider maintaining a free hospital bed for mem- bers. A new committee on exhibits was ap- pointed as follows: Eber Holmes, chair- man; G. M.

The funeral services of James 'Mc- Bride, a veteran florist of South Wey- mouth, Mass., were held January 12, in the Church of St. Francis Xavier, and the body was interred in the St. Francis Xavier cemetery. The floral remem- brances were many, with special pieces from the South Weymouth grange. Patrons of Husbandry; Joseph Breck & Sons, of Boston, and the state hospital at Tewksbury. Carel Mulder. Carel Mulder, one of the old-time florists of Chicago, died January 15, at the home of his son, John C. Mulder, the Auburn Park florist, of 7923 Normal avenue, from old age, complicated by an attack of Bright s disease. Mr. Mulder was 86 years of age, and was born in Alphen-on-the-Rhine, Holland, where he served a long and rigorous apprentice- ship in all branches of floriculture. He conducted a nursery and florist's busi- ness at Groningen, Holland, before com- ing to this country. He came to Chicago in 1866 and in 1867 built a greenhouse and opened business at 868 West Lake street, where he continued with a suc- cessful and growing trade till 1886, when he sold out and went to Europe for a visit of several months. On his return he made his home with his son, John C. Mulder, who learned the business under his father, and has operated greenhouses on Normal avenue since the time when Auburn Park was a swamp. Mr. Mulder was a thorough plantsman, schooled in every branch of the business, from his thorough old-country training, and was held in high esteem personally by all who knew him. He leaves six children. Claude V. Espy. Claude W. Espy, of Brookville, Pa., died January 9, after an illness of only three days with the grippe. Mr. Espy was 48 years of age. He had been sexton of the Brookville cemetery for many years. He was a tireless worker, and in addition to his labors at the cemetery he found time to establish him- self in business as a florist on a humble scale some ten years ago, and had built up the business to handsome proportions, until it had become one of the estab- lished institutions of the town. The de- ceased is survived by his wife and four children. Mary Raeder. Miss Mary Raeder, of the firm of Raeder & Co., Hyde Park, Mass., died January 13 of pneumonia, after a brief illness. The deceased, whose specialty was single violets, was well known at the stores and markets in Boston and attended the Park Street market Janu- ary 9, apparently in her usual health. She was 36 years of age. <6 The Weekly Florists' Review. Januaby 21, 1909.

Y., chairman of the S. A. F. legislative com- mittee, has been advised by the Amer- ican Express Co.^ to which application was made, that no allowance will be made covering the weight of ice used in cut flower shipments, as is done on cer- tain commodities. This matter was brought up some time ago by Edward Reid, of Philadelphia, who proposed ap- peal to the Interstate Commerce Com- mission. Mr. Hammond says: "If these matters are carried before the Commission, there must be a clear statement of the grievance that will appeal to the judicial sense of a com- mittee. Mr. Rudd, secretary of the S. A. F., advises me that $100 is placed at the command of the legislative commit- tee. The conditions which exist in re- gard to the ice concession are such that if we go before the Interstate Commerce Commission, it will be necessary to have something more than has yet been claimed by the growers and shippers. This report is made for general informa- tion and if the people who use ice will state the case, as to quantity, weight and distance of shipments, and times of ship- ment, it is the data required." GETTING RETURNS. There are many factors which may influence an advertiser part of the time,, but it is actual results which influence him most of the time: Kindly continue my advertisement of gladioli in the Review. I am getting returns from all parts of the United States — east, west, north and south — and even from Japan. B. B. STEWART. Rives Junction, Mich., Jan. 18, 1909. HOTELS AT INDIANAPOLIS. The reception committee recommends the following hotels to members of the American Carnation Society during their meeting in Indianapolis January 27 and 28: New Dcnlson — American plan, |2.50 up; Euro- pean plan, $1 up. Claypool Hotel — American plan, |2.60 up; Eu- ropean plan, $2 up. Hotel Enelish — American plan, |2 np; Euro- pean plan, |l up. Grand Hotel — American plan, $2.60 up. Linden Hotel — European plan, 76 cents up. Imperial Hotel — European plan, 75 cents up. Loraine Hotel — Eur<^ean plan, 60 cents up. The New Denison Hotel will be head- quarters for this meeting.

The reception committee wishes to an- nounce that it will meet all trains at the Union Station and escort all visiting dele- gations to whichever hotel they may designate; so look for them; they will be there. Fred R. Hukbiede, Chairman. GLADIOLI A SECOND YEAR. Are gladiolus bulbs of any value for forcing after having been forced the sea- son previous f R. C. E. I would not advise you to try any of the gladioli a second year for forcing. They will make even larger bulbs in the flats or benches than purchased ones, but after giving them one trial, I was convinced that they were practically worthless for use a second season. C. W. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Since last report there has been a steady shortening in supplies and consid- erable increase in demand. Local busi- ness is not specially active, the social festivities of the wealthy having ceased for the moment, but there has been a large increase in the call for funeral work, which has given a special impetus to the demand for white flowers and for short roses. Crops evidently are light every- where in the Chicago shipping territory, for the shipping orders have increased materially; the orders do not average large, but they are numerous. Prices have advanced all alohg the line. The single exception is Harrisii lilies. While other stock was low, lilies were steadily going up, because of light sup- ply, but just when other stock turns scarce a new crop of lilies is coming in; also, when lilies get above $2 per dozen retailers try to use something else. It is the general report that prices are lower than they were a year ago, even with the advance which has taken place in the last week, but roses are an ex- "-.%■-*■» January 21, 1909.

Beauties are probably in better supply than any other rose. In spite of dark weather, several houses are cutting heavily of long-stemmed stock. If we should get a few days of bright skies, there would be exceedingly heavy receipts of Beauties. Killarney and Richmond are fairly plentiful. It is Maid and Bride that are shortest. The dark weath- er has had some efifect on the color and substance of roses, but still, quality is excellent, Killarney particularly good. Orders received early in the day are be- ing filled, but Monday, January 18, there was a flood of telegrams along about 5 o'clock that found the market practically bare of stock and no time to pull anything more in from the green- bouses. Carnations have not advanced in price in quite the same proportion as roses, but the supply is down and values aver- age higher than they have been at any time since Christmas. Violets have re- covered somewhat from the set-back they received during the severely cold weather. Last week sales were ma'de at the buyer 's price, providing he could use a quantity, but this week the wholesaler has a voice in the matter. There has been special call for jon- quils, and yellow tulips have sold well. The other colors of tulips are not in spe- cial demand, but the white goes for funeral work. Sweet peas are selling better, especially the long-stemmed stock. Stevia has shortened up. Considerable mignonette is seen, but it is slow sale. The green goods market remains un- changed. Various Notes. If you are going to the carnation convention at Indianapolis, call up F. F. Benthey, Central 1398, and reserve your berth. He will have the chart of .the special car up to Saturday, January 23. After that it will be at the Pennsyl- vania city ticket office. It is expected that the car will be full when it goes out at midnight, Tuesday, January 26, but, as usual, few have yet spoken for berths.

C. W. McKellar is receiving gardenias from the east. He says there is a fair demand for cattleyas. Henry C. Dunn, with Albert Roper, Tewksbury, Mass., is in town talking up the Bay State carnation to the growers. The A. L. Eandall Co. has increased its office space in both the cut flower and supply departments. Bassett & Washburn state that they have now made deliveries of 125,000 cuttings of the O. P. Bassett carnation. A. L. Randall was ill and absent from the store for a couple of days last week. Visitors to George Reinberg's green- houses say that while his cut at present is light, the stock looks well, especially the Brides. The E. F. "Winterson Co. has sixty cases of galax in the Monon freight house, awaiting a settlement of a dis- puted freight bill, having refused to accept the goods until the rate is made right. Stollery Bros, report that retail trade is just now a little light, but that there has been quite an increase in the call for funeral work. The morning after the Guardian Angel greenhouses were burned twenty men were put at work making repairs. Let- tuce and radishes will be grown until time for planting next year's cut flower crops. The funeral of Robert Johnstone was held at Nunda, 111., January 16. A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, was one of those who attended. Lubliner & Trinz have enlarged their store on Randolph street. E. E. Pieser and G. H. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., were called upon last week to bury the third member of their family within six months, Isaac Mitchell, a brother-in-law. . Percy Jones says the Sarah Hill car- nation is an excellent keeper, although many think the blooms have a sleepy appearance. E. F. Winterson sent a fine spray of Defiance carnations to the funeral of C. Mulder, January 19. Mr. Winterson in his youthful days peddled plants for Mr. Mulder. N. J. Wietor says the coal man has been having his share of prosperity this month, but freight on the Pocahontas that most of the big growers use is al- most twice as much as the cost of the coal at the mines. W. O. Johnston, of the Foley Mfg. Co., has just returned to the city, after a two weeks' trip to his former home in Ontario, Canada. Leonard Kill says last week was one of the best Peter Reinberg has had this season, because they have a pretty fair crop of roses on, especially Beauties. E. Fransen notes that Scheiden & Schoos have had a special call for un- rooted cuttings of Enchantress. John P. Risch, of Weiland & Risch, JANUABY 21, 1909.

Hunt's all hands are putting in as much time as possible on the an- nual inventory. Business on To-bak-ine is reported as having taken a spurt of late. Philip Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, re- ports the refusal of a C. O. D. sent to a party at Shreveport, La. It was turned over to J. W. Begbie, of that town, who writes, under date of January 16, that he has taken up nearly twenty such shipments to the same concern in the last few weeks, ordered under different names. Kobert Schenk, well known in this city, has closed his store at Columbus, O., and writes friends here that he has dropped enough money so that he is ready to go back to work for somebody else. Poehlmann Bros. Co. is having espe- cially good results with carnations this season, much better than in the last couple of years. Kruchten & Co. say the call for funer- al work has sent short roses up a good deal more than longer stock. A deed was filed for record January 19, by which the property now occupied by J. F. Kidwell & Bro., at Thirty-fifth street and Wentworth avenue, was transferred to the proprietors of the adjoining ball park. The Kidwell lease still has some two years to run. The transaction has some additional interest because it is only the second time this property has changed hands since the government gave title to it in 1834. Christina Baigholz, mother of F. C. Baigholz, the North Clark street florist, died January 16. The funeral was held Tuesday. She was 68 years of age. E. C. Amling notes a special call for yellow flowers this week. Tulips are about all of this color that are available. The few jonquils arriving are not enough to cut any figure. Among recent visitors were Ed. Ka- lisch, of Kalisch Bros.

President Stuart was in the chair and all other oflScers were present, with a good attend- ance of members. The election of offi- cers for the ensuing year was the chief business of the day and that was soon over, as all were reelected unanimously. The reports of the secretary and treas- urer showed the society to be in a good condition, both as to members and finances. Different subjects came up for dis- cussion, hut the chief topic was the con- vention, and a most excellent spirit of co- operation was manifested, which speaks well for the success of the convention and the society itself. When all are pulling one way, something is bound to happen, and we have a membership that is going to do it. The following members staged flowers: .-''-.■''•' ■.-■..

We had the first touch of real winter we have had this season. There is more snow on the ground than has been seen here for the last three years. The exhibition and reception commit- tees got mixed in Sevetary Herr'a premium list. A. F. J. Baur is chair- man of the first named and Fred Huk- riede presides over the latter, and they have made arrangements to meet all traiins arriving on Wednesday, so as to help all visitors find themselves. Those who meet the trains will have on their badges and ribbons, so you can identify them, but as they are not mind readers,, please make yourselves known, so that none may be overlooked, as they will be there to direct and help you all they can. The city florists hope to have a good attendance at the entertainment given by them to the visitors. The bowling alleys at the German house have been secured, so everything will take place under one roof, commencing at 8:30 p. m. Wednes- day. If you cannot hit a pin, there will be other things you can hit. S.

These seemed to be off-crop. There is also a good shipping trade re- ported. . In reporting the retail trade, I must say that it is not so good as was ex- pected. Outside of funeral work there is little doing and, if stock was anything like plentiful, there would be a glut in the wholesale market. There are a num- ber of social events for this week, which should brighten up the retail trade a bit. Extra long Beauties are scarce in this market, as well as all other roses. Carnations are plentiful, with a good demand for all the light colors. Violets are again up to 75 cents per hundred and there are plenty of them for all. Bulbous stock in all lines is over- plentiful and quite a lot of Eomans and Paper Whites were dumped last week. There is plenty of valley and some good sweet peas. AH green goods are plenti- ful. Qub Meeting. The regular meeting of the Florists' Club took place January 14, in the Bow- man building. When President Young called for order there were twenty-two members present, and several visitors. J. r. Ammann, J. J. Beneke and George H, Angermueller were appointed a committee on resolutions on the death of Carew Sanders, which were read and adopted. The committee on the smoker was given full power to act and announced the date of the smoker as February 11. Julius Schafer, manager for Grimm & Gorley, was elected to membership in the club. On motion it was decided to hold the club's annual carnation meeting next month. All growers who have new varieties will be invited to send exhibits, the club agreeing to pay all express charges. The trustees were instructed to look for a new meeting hall. For the good of the club, a general review of the Christmas business was taken, which brought out the facts that it was twenty-five per cent better than the year previous, and the plant trade was even better. The question box brought out good discussion. 22 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 21, 1909. Buy Your Cut Flowers in Milwaukee BUT Don't forget the Greens.

Windier has issued a neat copyrighted book on flowers. He has a well kept place at 2300 South Grand avenue, and reports a good business in all lines since the holidays. Dr. R. Francis, president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co., has been chosen one of the vice-presidents of the American Forestry Association. James Lahey, a landscape gardener well known among the local trade, ended his own life by swallowing poison Fri- day, January 15. His wife disappeared a few days before and this is thought to be the cause of his act. Louisa M. Halstead, daughter of A. S. Halstead, of Belleville, and John Wesley Cornell, of Detroit, were married Sun- day, January 10. The happy couple left for Detroit the same night, where they will make their home. Those from out of town who attended the club meeting Thursday afternoon were: Henry Johann, Collinsville ; J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville ; E. W. Guy and Henry Emunds, Belleville; Edwin Denk- er, St. Charles; John Connon, Webster Grove; W. J. Pilcher, Kirkwood; Frank Weber and John Steidle, Central. The St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville, furnished the decorations for the big joint installation of officers of the Knights of Pythias of Belleville and nearby towns. Henry Kahrs, who bought out the John Burke store, reports that he had a big week's business. The place has been altered and makes a much better appear- ance than the old one. W. C. Young, of the C. Young & Sons Co., reports that the firm has sold sixty feet of ground on Kingsbury boulevard for $150 per foot and will keep on sell- ing the place in lots and eventually move the plant out west, past the city limits. W. C. Young, Jr., has given up his posi- tion in the wholesale grocery business and will enter the employ of C. Young & Sons Co. at the greenhouses. Quite a few of our local as well as suburban florists will visit Indianapolis next week and attend the meeting of the American Carnation Society. Monday night, January 11, the great snowstorm kept many of the florist bowl- ers at home, especially the older ones, but the cold night had no terrors for the younger class and quite a few braved the weather.

The newly elected president, H. B. Vyse, of Morristown, took his seat, and in a few well chosen words welcomed the visitors present. Reports from the sec- retary and treasurer were read, showing the club to be in excellent condition as to membership, with over $600 in the treasury. Then the club settled down to an even- ing's enjoyment, and cigars, coffee and sandwiches, and Totty 's famous brew of punch helped them celebrate. Splendid talent had been engaged in Now York, and when these departed on the last train at 11:30 the members themselves took a hand and kept the ball rolling for awhile. A splendid vase of Bay State carna- tions was on hand from A. Roper, of Tewksbury, Mass. The snioker.s of this club have more than a local reputation, and the numer- ous visitors included prominent growers from Rowayton, Conn., Red Bank, Orange, New York and different sections of Long Island, several of them, notably the Rickards brothers, insisting on help- ing out the entertainment with songs of their own. Over 150 members and friends partook of the hospitality of the club, and, by the looks of things, another year provision must be made for a larger number. ViDi. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. R. T. Donnell has been making a test of sterilizing the soil in his greenhouses, using formaldehyde, and after six weeks ' experience is well satisfied with the re- sults. Recent issues of the Review con- tained descriptions of the formaldehyde method, written by B. H. Thome, of Wooster, O., and it is interesting to note that Mr. Donnell is well enough pleased with the results he is obtaining so that he intends sterilizing all the soil in his place. He has 52,000 feet of glass and estimates that it will cost $2,500 to sterilize all the soil by this method. A. C. Brown is one of those who be- lieves in grasping opportunity by the forelock. He is offering his new carna- tion. Governor Deneen, for distribution this season. The announcement comes just at the height of the political strug- gle centering about Governor Deneen and at the time when the governor's name is seen in conspicuous head-lines in every newspaper in the state and when he and his friends are the subject of discussion wherever politicians meet. Carnation Governor Deneen is royal purple. Beardstown, III. — Frank Bros, say their holiday trade was good, but not bet- ter than last year. Wauwatosa, Wis. — Clauds Tyler, of the C. C.

The cold, stormy weather, with its ab- sence of sunshine, during the later days of last week shortened production mate- rially. Many of the growers were rather off crop, owing to the heavy cut during the holidays. The unfavorable conditions made this shortness of crop more appar- ent. Sunshine has improved conditions this week, but flowers of many kinds are still diflScult to obtain, and prices are advancing. But prices are materially lower today than during the highwater season of January, 1907. It seems well- nigh impossible to get them back to that level, no matter how scarce flowers may be. Roses are in brisk demand. All really choice stock is quickly marketed, unless the price be too high. The cheaper grades sell even better than the fancy, but prices on these grades are only mod- erate. Carnations have stiffened percept- ibly in the select and fancy classes, and white, which has been dead stock in the ordinary grades for many weeks, is now selling fairly well. Cattleyas are rather abundant. The supply seems sufficient to slightly bear the whole orchid market. Gardenias have shortened somewhat, with supply and demand about equal. Valley is in excellent supply and selling fairly well. Violets are not selling well, though the supply is large and the flowers of fine quality. Easter lilies are in demand. Paper Whites and Eomans are selling somewhat irregularly. None are wasted, but at times they accumulate and have to be sold cheaply. Sweet peas have de- clined. The fancy stock is selling well at reduced prices, but the medium and poorer grades, with shorter stems, are in slight demand. Lavender sweet peas sell best of all. More pink is sold and grown than white. Greens have been selling poorly, barring plumosus asparagus in bunches. A notable addition to the mar- ket is the arrival in quantity of pink, white and yellow tulips. Freesia is also more plentiful, and white lilac fairly abundant. Mignonette of good quality can be had, but daffodils, while plentiful in some houses, are hard to obtain in the open market. There are a few nice Cam- pernelles. Fansies are in fair supply. The shipping demand is about nornial. Various Notes. Arthur A. Niessen, secretary and treasurer of the Leo Niessen Co., was married early this month to Miss Phil- lips, of Baltimore.

Murdoch, Port Huron, Mich. With the advent of genuine winter weather January 16 the market gives encouraging signs of hardening, and val- ues are more generally satisfactory. There is not an overabundance of stock and business is said to be improving. Prices of all but a few kinds of cut flowers compare favorably with the quo- tations of a year ago at this date. Roses are in good demand, owing to the many social functions, balls, weddings and operas being in full swing, some of the events of national importance. A slight advance from last week's average was recorded Monday. Killarney, of the newer varieties, still holds the center of the stage. Beauties are in constant de- mand and there must be a great number arriving to hold the price so reasonable for this season. Some of the big wed- dings of the last two weeks have used them in thousand lots. This cold snap, which we should like to see run on until the middle of March without cessation, should give immediate tone to the mar- ket. We haven't had a full day of winter temperature this season until now. Carnations dropped last week with quite a thud. Shoals of fine stock at times were cleaned up at $10 a thousand. Cruel knifing by the surgeons, but it was the only way to keep the patient (grow- er) alive. Soon he will sit up and take notice again. The best of the carnation novelties can be counted on to average 4 cents always in the winter unless an earthquake hits the market. Plenty of orchids now available, and at lower prices, even with the remarkable demand from other cities. Grand plants in pots, beautifully decorated with rib- bons, grace many of the retail windows. These sell rapidly. Gardenias, too, are abundant and prices near the ordinary pocketbook. Sweet peas are plentiful and improving in quality. Lilies, valley, narcissi and hyacinths sell at starvation prices com- pared with other years. Violets went back again to 50 cents top during last week and the street men were offering them at 25 cents a bunch on every corner. 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ januaby 21. looo.

V3UGH3N & SPERRY Wholesale Florists, 58-60 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO Mention The Review when vou wnte The Tarrytown Dinner. The annual dinner of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society, January 13, was a great success. A few New Yorkers en- joyed the club's hospitality. The nja- jority of diners-out from the city, how- ever, were at Madison taking in the smoker there. The Tarrytown dinner it- self was in advance of all previous ban- quets in its ten years' record. The table and wall decorations in ferns, Winsor and White Killarney, were by the F. K. Pierson Co. A snow storm raged up on those far-famed hills and kept the at- tendance down to fifty. Abel Weeks, the president, welcomed the visitors and turned the duties of toastmaster over to A. H. Brown, a past master in the art. The best people of Tarrytown attend these banquets. The principal speakers were Surrogate Millard, Counselor Grif- fin, Professor Case, of the high school; Robert Patterson ; John F. Dinkel ; Messrs. Lee, of White Plains; Dell, of Mt. Pleasant; Wilson, of Short Hills; F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, and Editor Raymond, of that city. Vartotff Notes. It looks as if about a baker's dozen will visit the Indianapolis carnation con- vention from New York, but they will be the top-notchers of that department of the trade and will likely travel in a jolly company. The dinner committee of the New York Florists' Club will meet this week at the office of Chairman Elliott to per- fect plans for the enjoyment of a big crowd at this popular yearly celebration. The inclusion of the ladies in the at- tendance and the popular price at which the dinner will be provided should bring every member of the club, with his wife or sweetheart, to the delightful reunion. There is no reason why it shouldn't be equal to the outing, in attendance and popularity. The date will be early in February, possibly on Lincoln's birth- day. The dinner of the New York and New Jersey Plant Growers' Association takes place next Thursday, January 28, at the Hotel St. Denis, at 6:30 p. m. Chair- man Miller says it will be in line with the two successful outings of the so- ciety. Fred Atkins will preside at the "feast of reason." The Rickards brothers sang at the annual dinner of the Horticultural So- ciety, at Red Bank, January 20. Madison Square Garden is crowded this week with the second big auto show of the year ; 15,000 were in attendance on the opening night. The booths, offices and many of the machines show evidence of the florists' art. Harry Bunyard, of Arthur T. Bod- dington's, is on his western trip and is missing all the good things in the din- ner line that he loves fo have "warm the cockles of his heart."

Austin Shaw. Wertheimer Bros, have sent out to their customers an exceedingly neat diary and pocket account book. Reports are in circulation in real es- tate circles that the reorganized Fleisch- man flower business is to be carried on by a new company on a greatly extended scale, with ample capital, and will be in the market for a number of stores in high-class locations, and especially on prominent corners. The florist end of the Fleischman business has always been suc- cessful, its present financial difiiculties being due to other ventures, with which the new company will not be concerned. The new company was organized this week under the name of the New York Fleischman Stores. Its incorporators are Ferdinand Fleischman, Jacob Ausbacher and Stella Offenbach. The capital stock is .$25,000. a merely nominal figure, which is to be increased later on. It is reported that the new Fleischman organization has already leased several large stores, among them that of Walter J. Salomon, at Fifth avenue and Forty- second street. It also has secured the ex- clusive privilege of selling flowers in the Terminal buildings, 30 and 50 Church street. Beverly Farms, Mass. — George F.

Albekt M. Heee, Sec'y. GRASSHC»>PERS. 1 am intending to grow a field of asters this season and wish to know how to pre- vent grasshoppers (if they can be pre- vented) from ruining the crop. Last year they literally destroyed everything, ate up my gladioli bodily, and everything in sight. I sprayed with tobacco solu- tions and Paris green without effect, but pernaps did not take them in hand soon enough. If you can give any suggestions they will be appreciated. H. C. S. Grasshoppers are difficult to control. Even if we use poisonous substances or nicotine solutions on the foliage, it seems to have no effect. There are such count- less hordes of them that the killing of a few thousands, even daily, makes no im- pression. The trouble is always most acute when grass land is in close prox- imity to the flower crops. The grass makes a natural fgod and home for them and, if it is possible to keep the asters some distance away from land laid down to permanent pasture, it will cause a marked diminution in the numbers of the pests. Possibly there are other readers of the Eeview who can tell us some practical way of controlling grasshoppers. Such information would be thankfully received by many readers. C. W.

Begonias make a fine show when well grown and are good sellers with all flo- rists doing a general retail greenhouse trade. They have bright, clean foliage that is seldom attacked by insects or fungous diseases. Begonias are easy of culture and thrive best in a rich, warm soil with good drainage. They enjoy light and heat, l^ut not direct sunshine, except in the dark days in winter. As the leaves are large and face the light, they may be grown on a shelf or bracket. There are many species and garden hybrids in cul- tivation, but a few of the leading sorts are: Eubra is a favorite everywhere, and is still one of the best. Its strong growth and the freedom with which it produces large, waxy, coral red flowers have won the esteem of everyone who cul- tivates the begonia. President Carnot is much like rubra. Otto Hacker is a fine decorative plant, with immense leaves and large clusters of pendent flowers. Among those with spotted leaves, dia- dema robusta and argenteo-guttata show a silvery white variegation that is quite pleasing. Metallica is a somewhat shrub- by variety, with hairy stems and leaves and a metallic luster, though the flowers are not so pretty as on other sorts, but as an upright foliage plant is worthy of a place. Manicata aurea has beautifully blotched leaves, making it a very orna- mental plant. Feastii has a thick, creep- ing stem, closely covered with large leaves that are olive-green above and red beneath. It is the best begonia for a hanging basket. It is robust in growth and a beautiful plant at all times, even when not in bloom. Sandersoni is a neat plant, with scarlet flowers. Weltoniensis is a useful variety. It is semi-tuberous and partly deciduous. The leaf-stalk and branches are dark crim- son and make a fine contrast with the leaves and pink flowers. Vernon is the best beading variety and is also useful in vases and window boxes. I. H. S. The Beview is ahead of any other paper for florists and I cannot do with out it. — H. W.

Bush Lima varieties of beans are re- ported very scarce. Visited Chicago: John Bodger, Jr., of John Bodger & Son, Santa Paula, Cal. Mail trade is reported to be coming in strongly and meeting expectations fully. Eeports from Holland speak of severe cold, with little, if any, snow on the bulb fields. Many of the seed growers are making arrangements for a good display of can- ners' seeds at the coming annual con- vention of canners at Louisville, Feb- ruary 1 to 6. The "Wooster Nursery Co., Wooster, O., recently took over the seed business of E. C. Green & Son, of Medina, Stephen M. Green becoming manager of the seed and greenhouse departments of the com- pany. The prices for peas are higher on the average than they have been for a long time and the orders that are being booked for next year's business indicate that high prices are expected to prevail for some time to come. The canners are preparing for a rousing convention at Louisville, Feb- ruary 1 to 6. Many seedsmen will be in attendance, but to secure admission they will have to wear the membership badge of the Machinery and Supply Associa- tion. Some of the California growers on their way home from the east are not as optimistic as when going the other way. They report that they do not meet the old-fashioned reception. This they lay to the fact that the old timers are dropping out and the newer workers do not know them so well or follow the old methods. The onion set growers in the Chicago district are preparing to increase their plantings. There seems to be no limit to the possibilities for riches in this line, in the minds of some who have hit it right during the last year or two. Some of the older growers still remember, however, the time when they used onion sets as a fertilizer. The stock of the Ebbert Seed Co., Eocky Ford, Colo., which had been taken over by the receiver of the defunct State bank on account of paper which the bank held of the company, was put up at public auction January 11 and sold to the highest bidder. It was finally bought in by W. B. Mandeville, cashier of the Eocky Ford National Bank, for $800. Complaint seems to be general against the appearance of the samples of beans harvested during 1908. It is unfortunate when a crop is short ia quantity as well as poor in quality. The fact that beans of the 1907 crop are available for this year 's delivery in some cases helps out, and there is a feeling that carried-over beans will be likely to give better satisfaction than the new crop article.

Eeports of the short crops of aster seeds still come to hand from all sources and prices are likely to experience a de- cided advance. I notice even the Italian- grown seed, which is generally quoted at a low price, is already advanced several shillings per pound, being around 30 shil- lings per pound for leading sorts, as against 15 shillings last year; and other sources are also very varied in their quo- tations, but the tendency is now pretty well fixed to steadily advance in price. The demand for aster seed of late years no doubt has been considerably on the increase and, with short crops, the supply of first-class quality has not been up to the demand for some years past; ROUTZAHN SEED CO., Arroyo Grande, Cal.

Five or ten dollars a thousand more for lily bulbs is a difference of only from one-half to one cent a bulb. If only one bulb in ten pro- duce one more flower, it pays. Still some haggle over price, trusting to luck instead of common sense for quality. A shrewd buyer of bulbs buys from a reliable source, pays for qual- ity and insists on getting it. We will appreciate your inquiry for prices on reliable bulbs. Ralph M. Ward & Co. 12 West Broadway New York Mention The Review when you write. perhaps in Italy, in which district I be- lieve the cultivation for seed has more than doubled in the last few years. The cabbage seed and, I believe, all brassica seed, are fully justifying pre- vious reports of shortage in crop and, so far as my reports go, the supply will be a long way below the demand. Current prices show a considerable advance. The only growers who have the trade well in hand seem to be the Danish firms, and some prices I have just to hand are show- ing the trend of trade. For Danish Ball- head 3 shillings per pound is being asked and obtained; for Danish Summer Ball- head, 3 shillings 6 pence to 4 shillings 6 pence; for Danish Roundhead, 3 shillings to 4 shillings, and for Flat Swedish 4 shillings to 5 shillings. This is a consider- able advance on quotations I had at this date last year and I am informed a fur- ther advance is likely to be made in the near future. Cauliflower for contract growths de- livery autumn 1909 has also advanced, particularly Veitch's Autumn Giant, which has advanced from 2 shillings to 3 shillings 6 pence per pound, and Early Snowball, which in some cases is quoted as high as 28 shillings per pound. The radish seed trade appears to be fairly well in hand again and practically all continental growers are offering a full list this season. Prices, however, are generally high and likely to go still higher. French growers have had this trade largely in their own hands for some years, but this season English grow- ers and also other countries have a good stock to offer. The English growers, I understand, procure their stock seed from France every year, which appears to give much more satisfactory results than if home-grown seed is used year after year, or even one year, and by this means and careful cultivation the English grower is able to compete with any continental growers, at least as far as quality of strain is concerned, but I do not think the crop is in any season as heavy as more southern cultivations and therefore even if growers here quote their seed at the same price as their competitors (which I understand they are doing) their profits will be materially less.

Ten men were at work in the building at the time, but no one was hurt. No damage was done the stock, although the accident caused some delay, as the stock had to be removed.

In order to start this seed out with guar- anty as to variety we would have to have five or six times present prices, as scarce- ly more than twenty per cent of the fruit is of perfect type. The crop to pay must yield from 200 to 300 pounds per acre. In order to get this we are compelled to plant closely, and cut everything that will give sound seed. ' ' Our stock seed is always the best, yet even in our best fields some sports and hybrids may be found. Bees and other insects are continually working over the fields, and when we consider that in many new varieties the type is not well fixed it is a wonder the results are as good as they are. Then there is the chance of stray seeds in the washing and drying machines, . and when the seed is delivered the dealer simply has the grower's word for it. Of course the seed has to grade to certain standards as to color, weight, vitality, etc. Taking it altogether, 1 think the planter gets about all he pays for; at least we think our part of the dollar is small enough." MONTREAL MELON INDUSTRY. Prof. W. Stuart, of the Vermont Ex- periment Station, states that for years a few Canadian muskraelon growers have enjoyed a fine market in the United States for their product. These growers, through carefully selected stock and skill- ful cultural methods, are able to produce a melon of unusual excellence over a sea- son extending from the middle of July to frost. These melons command fancy prices ($8 to $15 per dozen wholesale, it is stated), and even at such prices the Canadian growers are not able to supply the American demand. It is quite generally believed that the Montreal muskmelons can be grown suc- cessfully only on a certain limited area on the island of Montreal. While the conditions of soil and climate may be es- pecially favorable there, it seems reason- able to think that much of the success of the Canadian growers is due to their willingness to take infinite pains at every stage of this crop and that American farmers in the states bordering on Canada can perhaps be equally successful if they are willing to be equally pains- taking. It is recognized, however, that the crop is an expensive and precarious one to grow, owing to frequent recur- rence of unfavorable seasons and to the extreme care required to grow it success- fully.

These hotbeds are well constructed, well exposed to the sun, and also protected from cold winds. The frames are often covered with two sets of sash, mats and board shutters. With such protection, if horse manure is used to generate a sufficient bottom heat and the exposed portions of the frame are banked therewith, the plants may be grown almost as well as in a greenhouse. These frames are movable sections ap- proximately 6x12, strong and tight, with tie rails for the sash to slide upon. The soil over which these sections are set is ridged up in beds twelve to sixteen feet wide, with a 1-foot center elevation. A trench is dug two feet wide, fifteen to eighteen inches deep, and filled almost level with well fermenting manure, and a portion of the surface soil thrown over \iV- . •■ '':'r' JANUABY 21, 1909.

The frames are then set in place and covered with sash, which in turn are further reinforced with mats and wooden shutters, or hay or straw with or without the shutters. A space four to six feet wide is allowed between the ends of each section. When the soil over the manure is well warmed up, the warmest portion of some favor- able day is selected for planting. Great care is exercised in transferring the plants from the hotbeds to guard against setbacks from sudden changes of tem- perature or soil conditions. The coddling process does not cease now. It is simply spread over a greater area and the plants require even closer care than before, for greater attention must be paid to water- ing, syringing, and ventilation, success at this stage being very largely depend- ent thereon. As the fruit attains size, it is usually lifted from the soil by a shingle or flat stone, to avoid loss from cracking, rot, etc. Uniform shape, color, netting, and ripening is secured by turning the fruit every few days.

As the season ad- vances more and more air is admitted until, finally, when the melons are almost full grown, the sash and then the frames themselves are entirely removed. As each fruit sets its shoot is pinched off one or two joints beyond it, A crop of fifteen to twenty melons is considered suflScient from each 6x12 frame. Three or four hills are planted and usually two plants are set per hill. The melons vary greatly in size. Their average weight ranges from eight to fifteen pounds, and a dozen averages from 120 to 130 pounds. In exceptional cases some have been shipped weighing 240 pounds per dozen package. The larger melons are apt to be poorer in quality than those weighing eight to fifteen pounds. Two distinct types exist, a roundish oblate, and an oblong, the first slightly deeper ribbed than the latter. These do not seem to be separated by the growers. It is not at all certain that either type is fixed. A large wicker basket (clothes basket) is commonly employed in shipping to dis- tant markets. They hold a dozen melons, packed in short, fine-stemmed hay, and are shipped without cover, no attempt being made to fasten the melons in place, the express company being held respon- sible for safe delivery.

The monthly meeting of the Spring- field Florists' Club was held January 11, with a fair attendance considering the inclemency of the weather. The program committee presented Ralph P. Willis, who was for many years our leading local plumber, but now represents Evans, Al- miral & Co., engineers and contractors, of Chicago. Mr. Willis gave an inter- esting talk on the subject of heating sys- tems, in which all florists are naturally interested. Several of the members pres- ent explained the perplexing problems arising from various features of their present systems and the fact was made manifest that probably no two local ranges of houses are heated on just the same plan, and each individual florist seemed to have some idea of his own, dif- DREER'S ^^o.

Many questions were promptly and very intelligently answered by Mr. Willis, who is thoroughly conversant with his business and evinced a consider- able amount of ability in the aptness of his illustrations. Various Notes. The mail order florists have mailed a large portion of their spring catalogues and returns in the shape of orders are already coming in and every succeeding day will show an increase in the amount of mail received until the height of the spring planting season has been reached. All indications point to a heavy business and if expectations are realized, the sup- ply of plants in some lines will hardly be sufficient to cover the demand. John M. Good, Frank E. Good and Opha Jackson recently returned from West Baden, Ind., where a short stay was found beneficial to the health of each. Ge Dale. BUFFALO. The Market Business remains only fair, with no show for improvement. Extremely cold weather prevails in Buffalo, with little sunshine. Stock is none too plentiful in the rose and carnation line. Other stock is plentiful. Bulb stock is coming in much stronger, but tulips are short- stemmed. Single daffodils are scarce and bring a good price. Peas are in big demand^ with quality none too good. Various Notes. W. J. Palmer & Son are cutting some fine stock of Bhea Beid at the Lancaster greenhouses. S. A. Anderson made his window at- > tractive last week with the early rhodo- dendron, Christmas Cheer. This makes ,(M a fine plant for early showing and forces )- very early after arrival, but the trouble lies in getting the shippers to send early enough for Christmas. Dutch bulb agents made their appear- ance once more. Mr. Smith, of the Boas Box Co., also called last week. W. H. Grever, distributor of the Ever Ready pot cover, reports a heavy sale of his cover for Christmas, and is now busy preparing for his Easter business. Mr. Kasting was prominent in society circles last week, having charge of the floor at the Elks' ball. R. A. S. Petersburg, Va. — A. W. W. Bryan has just completed another house, 30x50, and an addition, 10x30, at his boiler shed. TULIPS 1S8 W. 6tli8t., CIMCimfATX, O. SHOW MIXED ■XNGXJE AHD DOUBLX. Write for price. D.

The Market The principal stock in trade in this city for a week has been weather, all kinds of it, winding up with the biggest snowfall of the year and promise of more. Most of the week has been such that it has been much more pleasant inside than out, and trade has suffered accordingly. Stock of all kinds, except lilies, has short- ened up, but there is enough every day to take care of the business and the whole- salers had an easy week, everything cleaning up which came in, with no ad- vance in prices. The shopmen and market people have had a kick coming all the week — nothing doing in society; not much funeral work and less counter trade, and so, if they were a little dumpy, we will excuse them, for they certainly should be busy during January if ever they are. The variety of flowers is all that could be asked at this season, embracing the following: Beauties, lilac, orchids, freesia, valley, violets. Trumpets and Pa- per White narcissi, white and yellow tulips, daisies, primula, roses of all vari- eties and carnations. Varieas Notes. The receiver for the David Geddis place, in Homestead, had the sale adver- tised for January 20. A number of the leading decorators ac- cidentally met in one of the wholesale houses this week and, having plenty of time, spent a couple of hours discussing and trying to devise some way to get the price of plant decorations on a paying basis. All admit that there is no trouble about the cut flower end, as all buy their flowers so as to be able to sell at a profit, but plant decorations are usually put in at a loss.

It seems impossible to make a schedule of prices to which all can subscribe, and to form a trust is out of the question. What is the answer! An article on this from some reader in another city would be interesting reading. T. P. Langhans, committee on trans- portation to the carnation convention, has sent out circulars advertising the follow- ing rates : The Pittsburg & Lake Erie of- fers a rate of $7 each way, but no through coach is offered unless a party of eighteen is made up; the train leaves Pittsburg at 8:15 p. m., city time, arriv- ing at £idianapolis at 7:35 a. m. The Pennsylvania rate is $8 each way; the through train leaves Pittsburg at 9:55" p. m., arriving at Indianapolis at 6:55 a. m. Sleeping car rate, $2.50 one way. The party rate is not worth considering, as it is only a saving of $1 and the party must all travel on one ticket, which prob- ably would not be satisfactory. While a number are considering the trip, it is im- possible to say at this time how many wiU go. ' Mr. Orth, Sr., father of J. H. Orth, while on his way to the greenhouses last Thursday, was a victim of a trolley acci- dent, the car turning completely over. While the injury is not necessarily dan- gerous, his advanced age increases the seriousness of the shock. Uncle John Wyland has been indis- posed lately, but hopes to be able to at- tend the convention. Chas. Eissner is also on the sick list. Hoo-Hoo. BALTIMORE. The Market. Last week was quite dull, the weather wet or cloudy, with heavy fogs, and un- seasonably warm the first part of the week, but on Saturday, January 16, we were visited by a severe snow storm. The temperature dropped to 20 degrees. This weather is telling on roses and car- nations, the stock coming in soft and off color. It is a tribute to the good work of many growers that stock is as good as it is. Some fine Killarney, Bridesmaid and Liberty roses are seen in the stores. Carnations are coming in fairly well, mostly white and pink, with an occasion- al lot of red, which is always in demand. Cattleyas may be seen in most of the large stores, which is evidence that the orchid is coming within the reach of more people as the trade expands. Blooming plants that failed to make the Christmas holidays are now. to be had in quantities. Azaleas and cycla- Newman Floral Co.

Professor Blodgett, of College Park, gave a talk on "Botany and the Origin of Plant Life," at the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, Monday, January 11. The Baltimore Florists' Exchange has re-elected the following board of di- rectors: Edwin A. Seidewitz, president; F. C. Bauer, vice-president; J. M. Eider, secretary; William G. Lehr, treasurer; I. H. Moss and Philip B. Welsh. A number of the large growers here are complaining about the way My Mary- land rose is doing. It seems as though it has taken a rest, as there is not a flower to be seen on some of the benches. It started out with a heavy crop and did nicely • until about six weeks ago, and since then it is at a standstill. It was the intention of almost every rose grower to plant a good share of his space to this promising rose and its behavior is being watched with interest. O. STEAMER SAILINGS.

Continued cloudy weather, sleet, snow and rain, have shortened up the cut, espe- cially on roses. There are quite a few Harrisii hiies coming in, mostly short- stemmed. Orchids are plentiful and all the stores are stocked up with cattleyas and cypripediums. White lilac is fine, and plenty of it. Funeral work has been heavy with all the stores this week. Varioos Notef. David Bisset, of Garrett Park, has a fine crop of single violets which find ready sale. George Cooke has not handled any double violets since Christmas. He is handling singles altogether. They are more in demand than ever. J. H. Small & Sons had the social event of the week, the Gates-Hemenway wed- ding at the New Willard hotel. The small ballroom was banked with palms and Easter lilies. Bibbon aisles led to the kneeling stool, which stood in front of a mass of lilies and green. In the banquet hall a large buffet table was done in Eichmond roses and 'white lilac. The bride's table was done with Killar- ney roses and vailey. Z. D. Blackistone had the decoration for the reception at the Japanese lega- tion. The parlor was done in Beauties, the reception hall in My Maryland and white lilac. The table was done with Richmond roses and valley. F. H. Kramer had a quarter page ad last week, offering fern balls, and using a coupon cut from the ad. He sold 987 in one day. The price was 29 cents and a coupon. Wm. F. Gude has been elected presi- dent of the Washington Chamber of Com- merce. This puts the florists in front in the nation's capital, as J, H. Small was recently elected president of the Board of Trade. Mr. Snell, formerly with a Connecticut avenue florist, is now with Marche & Co. The Pennock-Meehan Co., of Philadel- phia, is said to be contemplating opening a branch wholesale house in Washington. Bowling. Florists.

WAYSIDE NOTES. Valentine Burgevin's Sons, of Kings- ton, N. Y., place Victory and White En- chantress at the head of their respective classes. Though they decline to give positive figures as to the yield, owing to the fear of being flooded with mail, the cut has been most satisfactory. They have a much improved sport from the Tarrytown strain of White Enchantress, which brings the flower close to the best form of White Perfection, which latter is still a favorite with all growers. Kingston Pet, which originated here, has been distributed locally only. It is a Largest stock of up-to-date varieties ever grrown in Loomis. Remember, we grow plants only for the cuttings.

Mention was made, in passing through a rose house 30x100 feet, that since Au- gust 15 to date, 55,000 blooms had been cut. This record was not intended for publication, but is too good to pass un- mentioned. Bhea Reid is a gem. Mrs, Jardine will occupy a whole house next season. Double violets are but little grown now on the west shore of the Hud- son, but it is hard to beat the grand Princess of Wales as grown here. Speaking of the satisfactory condition of holiday business, there was a great call for plants in baskets and vases; in fact anything, new or odd, sold well. Our friends here are fully alive to all de- mands, and a visit to their store or houses at any time is most instructive. At Millbrook, N. Y., some of the finest specimens of begonia ever seen were grown by Herbert Fletcher, gardener to C. F. Dieterich, at Christmas. Some hanging baskets filled with Gloire de Lorraine and Turnford Hall measured fully four feet across. This charming plant is destined to stay for a while, despite the disappointments connected with it. The retailer declares he will not handle it another season, but what is there so popular that can fill the bill just now? W. C. Russell, in addition to being the only commercial craftsman at Millbrook, is the recorder of a bowling team or- ganized by the private gardeners. Scores are made that would put the veterans of the metropolis to blush. Mr. Russell is adding a show house, 20x100 feet. Henry Hansen, of Catskill, N. Y., says Boston Market and White Perfection are the best whites he has for shipping pur- poses. He has a snug business and is, in addition, superintendent of tne town cemetery. Wm. Cordes, gardener to F. V. Burton, of Balmville, N, Y., is justly proud of his unique collection of palms, equaled only by the botanic gardens. All are carefully labeled, thus making the recog- Shibeley-Mann Co.,i"c. Wholxsalb Dxalxbs in FLORIST SUPPLIES and Cut Flowers 1203 Slitter St., SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.

Y., is adding a house, 20x100 feet, to enable him to keep pace With increasing demand. William Williams,' of West Kingston, N. Y., took over the old Stow place last spring and has thoroughly gone over it. He notes a decided improvement in busi- ness. J. G. Barrett, of Troy, N. Y., justly lays claim to being the banner designer of the Trojan City. At the time of my visit his workroom was jammed with hig designs for the funeral of a prominent citizen. Growing a large variety of stock makes it much easier for the artist. M. PACIFIC COAST. ASTERS FOR CUTTING. This is the proper time to plant asters for summer flowers in the vicinity of San Francisco, anfl, although the last week has been a very stormy one, there is no danger if the seed is protected from the excessive rainfall. For an early variety, where no extra long stem is de- sired. Queen of the Market is one of the best for this locality. It is at least three weeks earlier than any of the long- stemmed varieties and it commences to bloom at the time when there is a dearth of outside stock. For September and October flowers there are a half dozen ,-i!jnr-n(i,-lT»y»j'TfW'" '^WrT^Jfi**''?.^^ "■' 1^' -^v " '^^^r-^'i'^'^'^^'r'^^ January 21, 1901). The Weekly Florists^ Review* 51 different varieties that succeed equally well. It is a good plan to plant the seed in flats, not too thick, and give them plenty of sunlight during these dark days. It is not necessary to have bottom heat, al- though a little does no harm. Six weeks after the seed is planted the young plants should be transplanted into flats and they will then, by the first part of April, be ready for their permanent planting. This is the proper way to handle as- ters that are wanted for early blooming or for selling from flats. When the later varieties are desired for growing for blooms, the seed can be planted in cold- frames about the middle of February and the young plants will not have to be put in flats at all, as by the time they are big enough to handle at all the weather will be warm enough to put them out in the open, where they are expected to bloom. The aster is a gross feeder and to obtain the best results they should be grown on new ground every year, or not in the same ground oftener than every other season. Plenty of moisture and manure and lots of cultivation are im- perative if long stems and big flowers are wanted. The aster seems to succeed best on land that is rather sandy and they can hardly be given too much water during the flowering season. Great care must be taken in the selec- tion of seed and it is always well to change the source of the seed supply every two or three seasons. Seed that is grown from the plants and replanted on the same ground does not give as much satisfaction as that from some other lo- cality after the second or third season. G. SAN FBANOSCO. TheMufceL Continued rain for a week has damp- ened the ardor of the flower buying pub- lic, and likewise of the florists. It has also made stock of all kinds rather scarce, but the demand has been so light for everything that the scarcity has not been noticed to any extent. There have been several spurts of funeral work, and quite a quantity of white stock has been used up, but with everything else the market has been dead. Narcissi of all kinds have, with the advent of warm rains, become overplenti- ful and Paper Whites can be purchased at $1 per hundred. Daffodils sell well and the retailers buy them at from $2.50 to $4 per hundred. From present ap- pearances they will be one of the best selling spring flowers. Acacia molissima flowers have made their appearance and huge bunches are being displayed in the shops and by the street hucksters. Vio- lets are overplentiful and cost the re- tailers 75 cents per dozen bunches. Val- ley and Roman hyacinths move slowly. Carnations are a shade cheaper than they have been at any time this season, be- cause business is poor. Roses are prac- tically in the same condition. Outside mums are holding out well. Practically all that is left are the late flowering white sorts, with a few poor yellows. Christmas berries, owing to the severe frosts in the mountains, are over for another season. Green stuff of all kinds still finds much favor with the public who desire to decorate, but will soon be displaced by early fruit blossoms.

Beed, of Vincennes, Ind., has been at Mobile, Ala., attending a meet- ing of the classification committee of the railroad lines west of the Mississippi to oppose any changes in classification which will effect an advance in freight rates on nursery stock. Mr. Keed will remain in the south for several weeks. The second annual convention of Ohio nurserymen was held in Columbus, Jan- uary 13, at which President J. W. Mc- Nary, of Dayton, was reelected for the ensuing year. The convention was con-> eluded with an elaborate banquet at the Northern hotel. A full representation of the nurserymen of the state was present. J. H. Hale says Vermont is the ideal state for growing winter apples, because of cheap lands, favorable climate and nearness to the consumers. "There are great apple possibilities all over New England," says Mr. Hale, "but Ver- mont can be the great apple state of the Union if she will." Mr. Hale has in the last few years planted to apples several hundred acres of New England hills. STRAWBERRY CULTURE. Are the ProKts Decreasing: ? Forty or fifty years ago the Wilson strawberry was the leader in the straw- berry field and about the only sure cropper. A few other varieties were on trial, but some bore sparingly and some were barren. After a while the growers began to talk a little botany, and to speak about staminate and pistillate blossoms. It came about in this way, as the story goes: A man by the name of Longfel- low, a grower in Cincinnati, 0., was hoeing out his strawberry patch, and a part of his work was to pull out a cer- tain kind of blossoms, plant and all. He threw some of the plants over the fence into the street. An old French- woman came along and asked permis- sion to take some of the rejected plants. ■DinaQanMDHaHnHDHnHQBDananHnnaMnHnHnHQMnMnaDnHnHnHaHnH n □ ■ ■ D H D ■ □ □ ■ n M n ■ ■ D H ■ ■ D ■ □ H H n n ■ Hardy Roses and Ramblers FOR FORCING= The right time to buy Roses is when they are fresh and well-ripened.

The old woman said they were the male plants, and she planted them among her plants, which needed a fertilizer, and grew a large crop of fine strawberries. About that time some growers went into the business of producing new varieties of staminate and pistillate plants, or what they called male and female plants. The female plant is absolutely barren if planted alone, out of reach of a fertilizer. The old Cres- cent, the Bubach No. 5, the Enormous and many other fine varieties are in this class. Among the male plants, or the fertilizers, as we call them, are the old Wilson, the Captain Jack, the Charles Downing and the Brandywine, and some others are fair croppers if planted alone. The old Wilson, now out of date in flavor, was a good cropper. The Brandy- wine, in California, is a world-beater, with proper irrigation giving a fair crop for eleven months in the year.

This is a subject upon which there is much difference of opinion among the growers. There are many different meth- ods or systems that are followed by dif- ferent men, and each grower usually thinks that his way is the best. There is also a difference of opinion on whether it pays to trim at all, or whether it is just as well to let the vines grow as they please. This haphazard, hit-or-miss, trust-to-luck system is prob- ably followed by more growers than all other systems put together. The con- venient excuse, "Don't have time," is usually given, uut the man who does his trimming in this way is the same one who kicks the tobacco stems and ashes up against the end of the house the next morning after fumigating, and throws the dead plants and pots under the bench — all for the same reason, "Can't seem to find time." Does It Pay ? But there are some men who have a system of finding time to do everything that needs doing about the place, but do not trim or train their cuke vines be- cause they do not think it pays, and we must admit that the proprietor who cuts down that expense for labor will have a good chance to make as good a profit as his neighbor who gets a much larger crop and pays out much of the receipts for labor to care for the crop. One thing is certain, and that is that it is not absolutely necessary to trim, because the plants will yield a fairly good crop even if never touched with the knife, as they do outdoors. But another thing is certain also, and that is that if systematic trimming is followed faith- fully, the yield of the plants can be con- siderably increased and the vines will not get all into a tangled mass, with over- lapping leaves and branches, so as to cause so many leaves to get yellow and rot and make such an excellent breeding place for disease and insects. Trimming to Increase the Yield. How trimming increases the yield is explained by the fact that a branch on a cucumber vine usually has a fruit set on the joint of the first leaf from the main stalk, and sometimes another on the second joint, but will then continue to grow ont several joints longer before petting any more fruit. Instead, it is Seeds for the Market Gardener is our specialty. Quality our first consideration.

Mention The Review when you write. taking the growth which should be given to the one or two little fruits which are set and in need of the sap being sent up from the roots. If the end is cut out of these branches (when small), just be- yond the fruit, the fruit will swell up much more quickly, and in the meantime the cut will heal over and branches will break out from the eyes which are just above every leaf. The new branch or branches will set fruit again, just as the other did, and can be trimmed and treated just the same, and so on as long as the crop lasts, getting nearly as many fruits as leaves, while in the untrimmed way there are many more leaves than cucumbers. The work of trimming and training is a puzzle to any one who does not under- stand it, but can easily be understood if a little study be given the matter. The Different Systems. There are two decidedly different ways of starting the trimming. One is the single-stem system and the other is the branched system. The single-stem system is followed by trimming all branches, called laterals, off at the first or second leaf and allowing only the main stalk to keep on growing straight up. The branched system is started by taking a strong branch out on each side of the main stalk and then up parallel with the main and about a foot or a foot and a half apart. These two branches will grow as strong as the main and branch out just the same. The only difference is, that they are all three fed by one root stalk instead of each having its own roots. Some growers train to the single stem, turn all branches to one or two fruits and let them hang down close against the main stalk, tying only the main stalk, like a string of smilax or a single stem tomato plant, but most growers train their vines on wires running about ten inches apart, one above the other, like a fence running the length of the house, really like a grape arbor indoors, except that they are A-shaped instead of square. The branches are tied out along these wires and held away from the main stalk. The Favorite Method in England. The most popular system used in Eng- land is the single-stem system, selecting a lateral to run each way on each wire and trimming these off at the second leaf, thus having four eyes on each wire from which branches will sprout. These branches from a branch or lateral are called sub-laterals and they are cut off promptly at the first leaf. Branches will break out at any joint, whether there is a cuke set there or not. All branches or subs are thereafter trimmed at the first leaf. The only object in having two leaves or joints on the first laterals is to have enough eyes from which the sub- laterals are to spring, so as to get a large plant as soon as possible. This same sys- tem is used in this country also, but somewhat differently, by trimming every- thing at the first joint from the start and having the plants a little closer to- gether.

In that case they are allowed to have several leaves for a while, in order to have plenty of places for more subs to sprout from, to cover over the trellis more thickly. Caution in Close Trimming. It was formerly supposed that to trim off a lateral close to a fruit would in- jure the fruit, but it has been found that it will not affect the fruit unless the branch has gone too long and grown too large, so as to bleed tQo much when cut off. It is not well to take off large branches. They must be taken in time, when small, and if too large it may be stopped by taking out the tip only. Many growers stQl cling to the old method of leaving one leaf beyond the fruit, both as a protection to the fruit and as a source of more branches. Personally, I prefer the one leaf to a branch system of trimming, but like to give the roots plenty of room and not put the plants too close together. So I com- promise by using the branched system or by using the single-stein system and aJ- ■,:S-^yT, yTjj ;"- January 21, 1909.

LEXINGTON, KY. The Market. We are having some real winter weather, but good business is reported by all the florists. Sunshine is what we need, as we have not had any in this vicinity for a week. All downtown stores have been busy with funeral work for the last two weeks, and some good work has been turned out. Business conditions in other ways are satisfactory and have been so since the holidays. Eoses and carnations are of fairly good quality, considering the dark weather we have had here. White Per- fection and the Enchantress varieties are the leaders here at present. Beacon is considered the best all-around red. Sweet peas are constantly improving and quantities are used in funeral work by some of the florists. Lilium longi- florum is of good quality. Lily of the valley, Paper White narcissi, callas, Roman hyacinths and other bulbous stock are coming in. and the quality and de- mand are fairly good. Green goods are plentiful and are selling well. There ♦re some good plants in some of the down- town stores, such as azaleas, cyclamens, etc. Various Notes. Otto Heberling, of the Georgetown Floral Co., Georgetown, Ky., was a re- cent visitor here. S. S. Kelley is serving on the petit jury. William Bell has been very busy with funeral work. Miss Elizabeth Lyle, his saleslady and designer, will attend the carnation convention at Indianapolis. Miss Lyle has been with Mr. Bell about four or five years, and is a highly com- petent designer. Louis A. Michler, of the Michler Bros. Co., reports a fairly good business. H. F. Hillenmeyer, the nurseryman, is particularly busy these days. Blue Grass. Easpeburg, Md. — John P. Willheim has a prosperous business, with about an acre under glass. Cromwell, Conn. — A. N. Pierson is erecting another greenhouse, to be used tor grafted roses. Mr. Mam Man I presume you received my catalog of new and standard chrysanthemums. I presume you also know that I won the two principal classes of 40 varie- ties in Chicago ; and also the Silver Medal for best collection of singles. If you are a customer of mine you do not wonder at it. If you are not a customer don't you think it's time we got acquainted ? There's a reason. So send for my list if you did not receive it.

The Weekly Florists^ Review. 61 New Carnations ~ 1 908 - 09 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. Description:— The color of Mrs. Ohas. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. The flower is 4^ inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal with stifTness that gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stifler, it keeps and 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 habit is ideal; closely resembles Enchant- ress, 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, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives 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 S 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, 50 to 52. Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 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 to give satisfaction and find a place among the standards. The above varieties. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate.

Start- ing with a visit to Charles Fry, we find his place looking well, as it invariably does. All his carnations are doing fairly well, though somewhat off crop at pres- ent. Mr. Fry picked heavily all the fall from some 10,000 plants. He cut over 40,000 blooms up to January 1, grow- ing such kinds as Lawson, Enchantress, Winsor, Beacon, White Perfection, White Lawson, Queen and White Enchantress. Then we cross the road to Mr. Clif- ford's place, and there, also, we find everything looking well. His place is just coming into crop on white, pink having been the mainstay so far. His sweet peas are particularly good. At the establishment of the Vick & Hill Co. we see some fine lots of gera- niums and other young plants that are coming along for spring, and also some fairly good carnations. And, by the way, there is a fine lot of aster seed here. At Charles Lee's place we notice that the carnations are looking nice and clean and are well loaded with buds. There are also some nice plants here for spring trade. Our next call is at E. H. Euestow's, and we are pleased to see that both he and his carnations are looking well. At George Bennett's place the car- nations were in first-class condition, es- pecially Enchantress, which were in full bloom for the holidays and are full of buds still. F. B. Rugby, N. D.— N. P. Lindberg's holi- day trade showed an increase of forty per cent over that of last year, and everything was cleaned out at a good profit. Mr. Lindberg will build three more houses, each 25x90, in the coming spring. At the date of this report, January 11, the outside temperature here was 42 degrees below zero.

The Market We have had several snow storms late- ly, which delayed traffic somewhat, but we have good sleighing at present, with open weather. Twelve degrees above zero is the coldest weather we have had. Good cut flowers are in great demand, and the supply is hardly sufficient. Freesias, sweet peas and speciosum lilies are seen on display. Variouc Notes. W. O. Baur has returned from a pleas- ure trip to Toledo and Cleveland. The florists have put out some fine cal- endars this year. Baur's showed a lady with a corsage of violets; Offerle & Schaal's showed a lady and gentleman opening a box of choice cut flowers, and J. V. Laver also had a handsome cal- endar. B. P. CARTHAGE, MO. Stephen Hyde, Jr., has begun the erec- tion of four greenhouses, each 30x600 feet, in connection with his present plant. These new buUdings will practically double the space devoted to his business, but the new houses will not be ready for use before next fall. The greenhouses now in use contain 50,000 square feet of glass, so that when the improvements are completed Mr. Hyde will have a range contain- ing 90,000 square feet of glass. The new houses will be used for carnations. The new boilers wiU also be installed next summer, to heat the new green- houses, and when all improvements and additions are completed Mr. Hyde will have one of the largest and most com- plete establishments in the southwest. OsKALOOSA, Ia. — Theodore Greve has buUt a greenhouse on North Sixth street. ORCHIDS FRESHLY IMPORTED We offer a superb lot of the well-known Cattleya GIk^b Sanderiana, also C.

The consolidation of the American Blower Co., Detroit, and the Sirocco En- gineering Co., New York, the two largest firms in their line, is of much impor- tance to the heating ajid ventilating trades, and of interest to florists, as many are using steam traps purchased of the American Blower Co. HOUSES AT RIGHT ANGLES. My house No. 1 is 23x50. It runs east and west, with the boiler in the east end. The main is 2% -inch. There are two flows, each 2-inch. There are six 1%,-inch returns on the north side and four 114 -inch returns on the south side. There is plenty of heat and the boiler has plenty of extra capacity. My house No. 2 is 16x130 and runs north and south. How can I best pipe this? Shall I use one flow or two? How many and what size of returns will be needed? Would I need any gates to cut off heat, as I want house No. 2 to he 5 degrees cooler than house No. 1 1 ' It is never very cold here, in southern Georgia.

The house 16x130 can be heated by carrying one 2^ -inch flow from the boiler down house No. 1 to a point under the ridge of No. 2, then to the far end of No. 2, and there feeding eight 1^^,- inch returns placed under the benches or upon the side walls. An independent re- turn should also be provided for this house. It should be the same size as the flow. This is calculated for a tempera- ture of 45 degrees, in an outside tem- perature of 20 degrees. L. C. C. PROVIDENCE, R. L The Market Business has been somewhat freaky during the last few weeks, the demand for cut flowers having been spasmodic. There have been a number of funerals at which the floral displays were large, but these have been so scattered and the or- ders for designs so divided among the dealers that few have experienced any great activity. And then you figrure out that because it's a Sec- tional with short tie bolts ^Bumham will cost less to install. You like the idea of being: able to enlarge it — you know it can be done with- out changing the piping — you are convinced that it is the boiler for you to buy. Lord and Burnham Go.

Charles Hunt, of South Providence, had several of these. The cold wave which struck here Jan- uary 14 dropped the temperature to a minimum of 5 degrees Saturday morning. This is the first time that the greenhouse men have had a serious pull on their coal bins. Jesse B. Mowry, of Gloucester, has been reappointed by the General Assem- bly as State Commissioner of Forestry. W. H. M. ONCINNATL The Market Business is still dull. There is not a great deal of stock, so it would seem that if there were a little spurt in the demand, there would not be enough flow- ers to go around. If business improves and the supply of stock does not increase, there will be a good, stiff rise in prices and things ought to go along at a merry clip. The supply of stock is not heavy. Keally good roses are scarce. Beauties are selling well and red roses of other varieties are in demand. The cut of car- nations is increasing, but even with the quiet business there is not an over- supply of them. Sweet peas are com- ing in larger quantities and are selling at much lower prices and more slowly. Violets, too, are coming strong and are not selling so well. They are fine in quality, especially some from the east. Lilies seem to be more in demand than anything else, and the price on them holds up well. Judging from the reports from other markets, I suppose we have no kick coming, as they all report business as slow. The charity ball failed to bring forth the anticipated demand for violets and sweet peas. The ball hardly created a ripple, so far as the demand was con- cerned. The market was well stocked with this class of goods, in the hope that they would all be sold out at high prices, but there was quite a large supply left over. Various Notes. Park Superintendent J. W. Rodgers is in Columbus, O., attending a convention. William Dilger and Mr. Hinchman, of the Park Board of Detroit, Mich., were callers last week on their way to Vir- ginia, The executive committee of the Cin- cinnati Florists' Society met at E. E. Gillett's, last Friday afternoon. They got down to business at once and, after some discussion, the chairmen of the various committees to have charge of the S. A. F. convention were named. All of the appointments will be con- firmed Saturday night, January 23, when there will be a general meeting of the society at Weiland & dinger 's, 136 East Third street. It is expected that this meeting will be largely attended, as busi- ness of great importance will be trans- acted. E. G.

CLEVELAND. i The Market There has been a decided falling, off in the cut of all kinds of flowers. Eoses are in short supply and, owing to the con- tinued dark weather, they are rather poor. Carnations are moving better, with not enough to supply the demand part of the time. Violets continue to move slowly, some of the retail stores running special sales on Saturday. All light flow- ers were better sellers last week, there being quantities of funeral work all the week. Varioui Notes. Albrecht & Smith, of East Ninth street, have moved to their new location on Prospect street, which is a great im- provement over the old one, as the build- ing is more modern. The J. M. Gasser Co. is sending a good cut of Maids, with fine color and good, long stems. Ogden Gaul entertained a few close friends at cards on Saturday evening, and the occasion was greatly enjoyed by all present. Westman & Getz report having had a heavy trade last week. Mrs. Isaac Kennedy is improving daily, having been operated on a few days ago. NEV BEDFORD, MASS. The Market The cut flower trade is good. Flowers are quite plentiful, with the demand fairly good. Funeral work is good, using up lots of short stock. Carnations retail at 50 cents and 60 cents per dozen, roses at $1.50 and $2 per dozen. Violets are coming in of good quality; $1.50 per hundred is the general retail price. Sweet peas bring $1 per hundred. Some nice tulips are to be seen; they retail at 60 cents per dozen. Paper Whites sell at 50 cents per dozen, retail. Various Notes. J. H. Cleary is receiving nice carna- tions from S. S. Peckham, of Fairhaven. Mr. Peckham is -quite busy these days installing Columbus gasoline engines, of which he is the agent. William P. Peirce is showing some nice carnations in his window, chief among them being Eose-pink Enchantress. He is also showing a fine line of flowering plants. E. E.

Qttb Meeting. 'The Tri-City Florists' Club held its regular meeting Thursday evening, Janu- ary 14, at the Davenport Outing Club, and the attendance was good, all the regular members being present. Presi- dent William Knees was in the chair and J. T. Temple was on duty as correspond- ing secretary. The club was in receipt of a letter from A. W. Van de Veer, acknowledging his election as the first honorary member of the club. E. C. Eohlfs, of the Alta Vista Nursery, of Davenport, was elected a member. The president appointed a committee, composed of two members from Daven- port, one from Bock Island and one from Moline, to arrange for the regular ban- quet of the club, to be held sometime in March. A committee on nomination was also appointed, to submit names of of- ficers for another year at the next regular meeting. The topic for discussion was "Fer- tilizers and Their Uses," and it may be truthfully said that the subject was well aired. T. Ewoldt had an especially com- prehensive and instructive paper. The club will hold its next regular meeting at the residence of Henry Gaethje, in Rock Island, February 11. After adjournment of the club, J. T. Temple invited the members to the din- ing room, where the steward of the Out- ing Club house had a fine lunch pre- pared. Mr. Temple had the table deco- rated in up»to-date style. Af te^ enjoying the repast and telling a few good stories, all left for their homes, feel- ing well repaid for having attended the meeting. Julius Staack, St., of Moline, is' re- ported on the sick list. H. M. NEW ORLEANS. Another week of spring weather in thef middle of January has been pushing' every plant into bloom, and business also has been advanced at the markets. The last two winters have been very mild and that is not exactly what the florists want to create a lively demand for stock when the season opens. But February is not past and we must not lose hope yet. T. Shalk, for several years with J. A. Schindler & Co., has left his position. J. Eehfeld, on Bienville avenue, lost his wife last week. M. M.

Mildew more easily prevented and all that sort of thing. Whether this is because of the increased lightness, the under-bench ventilation or the perfect 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 for. Send for fully illustrated catalog and know why it is also the most enduring construction.

"Replying to your favor requesting onr experience with Pecky CypreBS* we will say, we have been using; this grade of Cypress in our Greenhouses and plant benches for the last ten or twelve years and so far have not found any of this wood that has all rotted out. We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock only lasted about four years, while so far we have had no Pecky Cypress rot out in ten or twelve yeais. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose. BASSETT & WASHBURN."

So great was the demand that the stock was oversold. We were unable to keep enough for our own planting. Owing to that fact, and the fact that it is a good thing, the price of plants will remain the same as last year.

President^ Albert M. Herr^ Lancaster, Pa* Vfce-presfdent, Fred Burki, Pittsburg, Pa« Secretary, A F. J. Baur, Indianapolis, Ind. Treasurer, Fred E. Domer, Jr., Lafayette, Ind. NEXT MEETING PLACE, PITTSBURG, PA^ JANUARY, 1910. With a record of seventeen successful conventions, the American Carnation So- ciety has set a new high water mark at Indianapolis this week, for the third time in its history— 1894, 1902, 1909. Pavored with ideal weather and a splendid hall, there was nothing left for the exhibitors to desire. And as for the rank and file, the wonderful quality of the stock was ample recompense for a long journey. Indeed, many a man was inspired to go home and do yet better things, for it was amply proven that the end is not yet in the triumphal progress of the carnation — already the leading, one might almost say dominating, flower in a trade sense in this country. The American Carnation Society, affording yearly opportunities for the compar- ison of the best products of the best growers, is to be largely credited with the rapid pace at which the flower has ad- vanced in quality and popularity, but in spite of the great progress of the past, in no year other than the present has a longer stride been taken forward. Never was there better quality, speaking of in- dividual exhibits, and as a whole the character of the display was far and away ahead of other years. There was not a poor vase in the hall and the great gain made since 1902, when the conven- tion last was held in the Hoosier capital, was remarked by many old-timers. Carnations come and carnations go. The convention of the A. C. S. is the place to see the latest arrivals, and this year the showing of new sorts was a revelation to those growers who think the old sorts are "good enough." Aside from splendid vases of practically all the new sorts out this year, there were seed- lings beyond number, representing a wide range of colors, from purple to bright canary yellow, and quite a number giving promise of great commercial possibilities. There are probably more new sorts of the Enchantress shade of pink than of any other color, for the hybridizers are using Enchantress blood in a majority of their crosses, but it was those of Lawson shade that attracted the most attention. Law- son in its day turned in more money to the trade than had any other variety up to that time and it is with sincere regret that its passing has been witnessed, par- ticularly as none of its erstwhile success- ors has wholly made good. But there will be a succession of new cerise pinks in the next few years. Some of them were shown in considerable quantity at Indian- apolis this week, and their advent in the trade is eagerly awaited. The New Varieties. The new sorts coming out this year were shown in good shape. Roper's Bay State, farthest from home of all, took the gold medal. Cockcroft's Georgia, also far afield, was in fine condition. O. P. Bassett was in excellent form for comparison with the earlier reds. It took a first and a bronze medal. W. N. Rudd staged a good vase of the Mrs. Vaughan, white. Dorner's Pink Delight was in pleasing shape. Mrs. Knopf and Ruby showed up well. Lucille was like a new Prosperity. Apple Blossom and Wanoka were well shown. Scheiden & Schoos staged President Taft. May Day was shown in attractive shape. Not many of the new sorts were entered for compe- tition. Of the newer sorts two whites took growers' attention — Shasta, by Baur & Smith, and No. 404, by Dailledouze Bros. Of each 100 blooms were shown and each looked good. E, G. Hill Co. had a big white. No. 511, that got a preliminary certificate. James Whitcomb Riley, the new yellow of Bertermann Bros. Co., is without a rival. It seems to be steadily improving and it is an interesting item as showing the field for a yellow that, merely on the note published in the Re- view at the time of the national flower show, Bertermann Bros. Co. has received six orders from England, one to hand this week being for 5,000 cuttings. Nic Zweifel, of Milwaukee, showed one of the new Lawson shade of pinks, No. 228, fifty blooms, and received a certifi- cate. His No. 108 is in the same class and both promise well. E. G. Hill Co. showed a few blooms of a pink that looks as if it would trot, No. 235, which scored 88 points. A. C. Brown, of Springfield, had two winners in the pink classes in Superba and Sangamo. F. R. Pierson was in the running on Lawson shade of pink with No. 50. He also had a good dark sport of Winsor, a light pink sport of White Lawson, a good looking white in No. 30 and a* crimson. No. 60, that was certificated. Dorothy Gordon looks good by compar- ison with Rose-pink Enchantress, which it resembles. In light pink. Admiration looks like the best thing the Charles Knopf Floral Co. has yet produced. Mary Tolman was a little the worse for its journey. Hill had a seedling. No. 406, that was liked. The Chicago Carna- tion Co. has named its No. 500, varie- gated, calling it Conquest. It has lots of color. There were scores of seedlings under number, R. B. Hayes, of Shelby, C, Albert M. Herr.

Boper had a red, No. l-'^Sl, that may turn out well. A good red, inc- 400, fifty flowers, was not tagged with ."fae exMbitor's name and there were many ot^MXH, including a good-looking light pink, that were merely set up to see what the trade thinks of them, for they were without identifying mark. The quantity of the general exhibits, as well as of the seedlings, was large and the whole country was represented, the eastern grower coming up particularly well. Spleodid Arraagementi. The Gennan House affords an ideal hall for a flower show. It is large and light, with abundant ventilation, some- tHng ■which has been notably lacking in several recent years. The result was that the stock showed its true keeping quality, nuch to the satisfaction of ail concerned, and particularly pleasurable to the In- dianapolis florists, who had issued cards admitting the public during certain hours. It was the better class of flower buyers who attended and there can be no doubt the carnation received a boost with the people that will be felt, like the ripples from a pebble dropped in water, far be- yond the limits of the city or even the boundaries of the state. The prepara- tions by Superintendent A. P. J. Baur were admirable and staging was accom- plished on time and with the minimum of confusion. Space was abundant, so that nothing need be crowded, and the tables were covered with green cheesecloth, the sides curtained with white, making a fine appearance. The meeting hall was under the same roof, warm and comfortable, and the business was put through with dispatch by President Patten. Last year at Wash- ington a three-days ' convention was tried, but two days is long enough. If strung out too long, the doings also are spread out too thin. Better a short, snappy program that will keep up the interest from start to finish. It was a good move to keep the essays down. No matter who the essayist, the average member fails to enthuse at the prospect — and generally fails to attend. The local hospitalities were specially open-handed. The committees had been and were indefatigable and, aside from the smoker and banquet, there were in- numerable courtesies extended. The ladies were entertained at a theater party. One had only to ask a man with a blue but- ton, and his slightest need was met — or his greatest. The German House had been elaborately decorated with palms, ferns and bay trees for the occasion. First Business Session. The society convened at eight o'clock Wednesday evening, January 27, for its first business session. The call to order was by J. S. Stuart, president of the State Florists' Association of Indiana. Evidently someone had told him that we judge by deeds, not words, for he made no address, and as briefly as pos- sible introduced C. D. Bowen, the city attorney, to make an address of welcome on behalf of the mayor. When he said that Indianapolis averages a convention a day we could realize that the mayor must do quite a part of his spell-binding by proxy. But Mr. Bowen went on to say that of all the conventions held in the city, none brought together men who are pursuing a more ennobling craft or who are more welcome. Herman Junge was introduced, to speak for the State Florists' Association. He said, among other well thought out things, that no florist has more to be proud of than has the carnation grower. Europe cultivated the carnation for 200 years, but its development was not begun until the trade in America took it in hand a brief while ago and carried the flower to its present high estate. Now all Europe looks to us for its new varieties. A. F. J. Baur. (Secretary-elect American Carnation Society.) January 28, 1909. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 15 and the word "American," applied to this flower, means "best of all." E. G. Gillett, of Cincinnati, responded on behalf of the Carnation Society and, after accepting the proffered keys to the city, referred to the first time the society met in Indianapolis, in 1894, when two small rooms in a hotel sufficed for both exhibition and meeting. He said that one of Domer's seedlings was the sensa- tion of that day, but that it compares with the flower of the present about as an ant does with an elephant. President M. A. Patten, of Tewks- bury, Mass., being introduced to take the chair, read the following address: President's Address. We have been already in Indianapolis long enough to learn that we are among indulgent friends. As eighteenth presi- dent, I also extend to you a welcome and wish you all a prosperous and happy new year, and a successful convention on this our third visit to Indianapolis. The past year has been a trying one to the florists. The depression in busi- ness has laid a heavy hand on many, but the future looks bright. Let us be alert and ready to take advantage of the im- provement in business. Advancement of. the Carnation. Many new varieties of carnations have been introduced during the {)ast season; time will tell how many will prove worthy of perpetuation. Anyone send- ing out a new variety should exercise due care to have the stock healthy, the cut- tings good and well rooted. The carnation is still the popular flower, and as our society stands for the advancement of the carnation, continue it so. The raisers of new varieties have made marked improvement, but have not reached perfection yet. I think iy generally understood that this society/does not necessarily endorse a variety faa a profitable kind to grow Fred E. Dorner, Jr. (Re-elected Treasurer American Carnation Society.) commercially, because it has been success- ful in obtaining a prize. At the national flower show at Chi- cago last November, under the auspices of the S. A. F., the interest in carna- tions was indeed manifested by the en- thusiasm of the many visitors. This was probably the largest exhibition of car- nations at a fall show ever held in the country, and was a credit to the ex- hibitors. A Plea for Increased Membership. As our conventions are held in differ- ent parts of the country, some members lose interest when the conventions are General View Carnation Exhibit. 16 The Weddy Florists' Review. January 28, 1909. Marcellus A. Patten. (President American Carnation Society.) At the convention of the S. A. F. at Niagara Falls, last August^ the Carna- tion Society voted the sum of $25 to be sent as a premium to the Perpetual Flowering Carnation Society of Eng- land. I would suggest that the salary of the secretary be increased, if possible. I hope all our members will wear a carnation in memory of the lamented President McKinley, January 29, I wish to thank you for the loyal sup- port given me. I especially wish to thank the secretary, Albert M. Herr, and the vice-president, A. F. J. Baur; also the directors. The press, which has been so friendly to us, is entitled to all the thanks we can give it. To the members of the local society for the arrangements and details of the exhibition, we are un- der obligations and grateful to each and every one. At the conclusion of the reading of the president's address, the report of the treasurer was presented, as follows: Treasurer't Report. Briefly stated, the society had on hand $227.58 January 25, 1909. This is in the general fund. In the permanent fund there was $2,375.31. A summary of the financial operations of the year ia as follows: RECEIPTS. Balance Jan. 24, 1908 $338.05 Cash from Sec'y Herr 881.00 Cash Interest 113.07 $1,332.12 EXPENDITURES. Paid orders on Treas $1,104.54 Jan. 25, 1909. Cash on hand 227.58 $1,332.12 PERMANENT FUND. Reported Jan. 24, 1008 $2,375.31 held at a distance, and drop out. As our society creates an interest in the carna- tion and the proceedings at our meet- ings are quoted over the entire country, every florist receives the benefit to a cer- tain extent, and ought, in justice to the society, to become a member, even if un- able to attend. Some florists have been growing their carnations on concrete benches; it would be interesting if they would relate their experiences. It probably is economy to build of concrete if the plants do as well as on the wooden benches. Many grow- ers have dispensed with the use of bone, and claim that their plants do just as well, if not better. Last year the experiment station at Washington devoted a lot of work to carnations, which was appreciated by all who had the privilege of visiting the greenhouses and listening to Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry. We might get more good from this bureau if we would try, for the oflScers are ready to work with us. Exhibits of Pot-grown Plants. What about having pot-grown carna- tions at our exhibitions? This has been called to your attention by former presi- dents, but we do not seem to make much headway in the matter. I think it would be a good thing for the introducers of a new variety to have a well grown plant in a pot to show with the cut flowers. It certainly would be of interest to in- tending purchasers. Would it not be well to offer prizes for collections of three or more pot-grown carnations, say $10, $6 and $4? It would give more material to make an exhibition and tend to create more interest in the divine flower. Pot carnations years ago were quite a source of revenue to the florists. J. S. Stuart. (President State Florists' Association of Indiana.) ^•n- ;^"^^ . Januari 28, 190'J. The Weekly Florists' Review. J7 The secretary's report was presented, as follows: Secretary's Report. Your secretary begs leave to report having issued the report of our annual meeting in due time and having mailed the same to all members in good stand- ing. January 4, 1909, the premium list for the present meeting was issued and mailed to all members on our books, this list being made up as per instructions from your board of directors at a meet- ing held in Washington last January. The usual effort was made to secure ad- vertisements for this list by your secre- tary. A circular letter was sent to every member on our books, and to about 300 possible advertisers who were not mem- bers of this society. This was followed up by a personal letter to a hundred or more whom your secretary thought should advertise with us. The result is $105 worth of advertising, not one-fifth enough for the work of solicitation neces- sary to get it, and I again recommend that this part of our premium list be abolished. An innovation this year was a request made to every member of this society to add to our Class B, of named varieties, any variety they might want to see in- serted, providing they would pay the premiums, if any were awarded. Thii^ was followed up by an appeal made through the trade papers and the result was one addition, that of Afterglow, by K. Witterstaetter, Cincinnati, O. This meager response may have been due to this feature not being properly under- stood, and partly owing to financial de- pression; at least it is to be hoped that we as individuals will have pride enough in our society to see that this part of our premium list is well filled for another year. In membership wc have thirty-two who Herman H. Junge. (Vice-president State Florists' Association of Indiana.) John Rieman* (Member Press Committee for Carnation Convention.) have not paid their dues for 1908, and forty-one new members, so that we are gradually gaining in membership, as the new list will no doubt be increased con- siderably at this meeting. There were several deaths during the year, but, no notice being received by your secretary, no oflBcial announcement can be made. I want to thank the president and vice-president for their assistance during the past year and beg pardon for the few errors that have occurred during the same period. I also want to thank every member of this society for their hearty cooperation during the fourteen years I have served them as secretary, and be- speak for my successor the same helpful spirit from them. This society has advanced the carna- tion and its methods of culture some- where near perfection. To continue its mission it must take up the work of popularizing the flower with the buying public, and as far as possible correct the evils and make improvements in the buy- ing and selling end of the business. We need a secretary who either has ample time of his own to devote to its affairs, or sufficient clerical force to have them attend to all of the details between meetings, and one to whom the salary is no object for the amount of work done. With me it has been a labor of love for fourteen years — years which I can look back over with many pleasant memories and for which I feel amply repaid by the acquaintance of the ipen 18 The Weekly Florists' Review, JANOABT 28, 1900.

But a few years ago, as some of you know, I was bumped pretty hard finan- cially, and as the hardest part of the work of this society extends from No- vember 1, with the soliciting of adver- tisements, until sometime in March, with the sending out of the annual re- port, without any intermission, right in my own busy season, it makes too much work for me (work that I could not pos-, sibly have given the attention I did had it not been for the kindly assistance of Mrs. Herr), and feeling that I cannot give this work the attention it should have, I hereby tender my resignation, to take effect at the end of our official year, April 1. On motion of E. G. Gillett, the report was accepted, including the resignation, and Mr. Herr was given a rising vote of thanks for his faithful service for four- teen years. Nominations. The Milwaukee Florists' Club, by let ter, and N. Zweifel orally, asked for the meeting next year, but there was a letter from the Pittsburg club urging that the implied promise of last year be made good and W. A. Clarke called upon Mil- waukee to retire in favor of Pittsburg, as Pittsburg had for Indianapolis. So it will be Pittsburg in 1910 and Mil- waukee in 1911. Eugene Dailledouze nominated Fred Burki, of Pittsburg, for president, and William Weber nominated Albert M. Herr. Mr. Burki withdrew. Wm. Nicholson nominated Mr. Burki for vice-president. For secretary, W. J. Stewart nomi- nated Louis J. Renter, of Westerly, R. I. E. A. Nelson nominated A. F. J. Baur, of Indianapolis. W. W. Coles nominated Fred Dornor as treasurer, to succeed himself. F. Burki was nominated as director for five years, to succeed J. S. Wilson. Richard Witterstaetter was noniinatod as judge for three years, to succeed W. N. Rudd. The judges' report was read, as fol- lows : The Awards. The judges were W. N. Rudd, Morgan Park, 111. ; William Nicholson, Framing- ham, Mass.; Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.; S. S.

Miscellaneotss Exhibits. Chief of the miscellaneous exhibits was a long tab^e of baskets and other cut flower work by A. Wiegand & Son. To the public this was one of the best fea- tures of the exhibition and those in the trade found in the display more than one hint as to how they can improve the character of their own work. H. W. Bieman put up a fine table of plants, mostly blooming stock in splendid condition, such as cyclamens, cypripe- diums, primroses, azaleas, etc., well ar- ranged. J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, showed some excellent plants of Begonia Presi- dent Taft, good pandanus, dracsenas and Adiantum Farleyense. Alfred Pahud, Indianapolis, brought a vase of cut double poinsettias. F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, had a splendid vase of White Killamey rose and some good plants of Superbissima fern. The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Phila- delphia, staged for the Waban Rose Con- servatories, Natick, Mass., a magnificent vase of White Killamey rose. The size of flowers was specially notable. Weiland & Olinger, New Castle, Ind., showed good Maid and Bride roses, tulips and Paper Whites. W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, staged Rhea Reid, Maid and Bride roses of excellent quality. The Morehead Mfg. Co., Detroit, had a model steam trap. Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, had a model of its greenhouse boiler, heat gen- erator, etc. The Pulverized Manure Co., Chicago, had a large exhibit of It^ special line of fertilizers in bulk and packages. A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, had a^ table of ribbon, chiffon, letters, hose and sam- ples of other supplies. The Advance Co., Richmond, Ind., ex- hibited its ventilating apparatus. After adjournment the visitors were the guests of the IndianapoUs florists, on the bowling alleys and at a smoker and Dutch lunch. Thursday's Session. Thursday morning W. N. Rudd raised the point that no requirement for quality being called for in' exhibits for the so- ciety medals has a tendency to lower the value of the award. He stated that in his view so high quality should be re- quired that the gold medal would not be awarded every year. After discussion it was voted that, in future, varieties to receive the medals must score as high as ninety points for the gold, eighty-eight for the silver and eighty-six for the bronze. Pittsburg was duly selected for the next meeting, the fourth Wednesday and Thursday in January, 1910. The election of the following officers was unanimous: President, Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa.; vice-president, Fred Burki, Pittsburg; treasurer, F. Dor- ner, Jr., La Fayette; director, F. Burki; judge, R. Witterstaetter. For secretary A. F. J. Baur, of Indianapolis, received thirty-five votes and L. J. Reuter, Wes- terly, R. I., twenty votes. Mr. Renter moved to make the vote unanimous for Mr. Baur. Papers were read at this session, as F.

The club is one of the finest in the west, and many were already knovra there through Judge Vesey's having entertained a party of his friends there the previous evening, as he had done on the occasion of the society's last meeting in Indianapolis, seven years previously. J. S. Stuart, president of the State John Hddenreich. (Member Exhibition Committee for Carnation Convention.) Society, presided at the banquet. E. Q. Hill was toastmaster. Among the speak- ers were Mayor Bookwalter; President Patten, of the Carnation Society; Presi- dent Valentine, of the S. A. F.j-W. N. Rudd, Mrs. Vesey, Miss Sarah Hill and several others. Friday's Trip. Bright and early Friday morning the New Castle and Richmond florists took a carload of members for a trolley trip to Richmond. The schedule included a stop at the Bertermann plant, at Cumberland, a call at several New Castle ranges and a visit to three or four of the principal places at Richmond. There was every provision for comfort and enjoyment. Visitors. AH the members of the trade in In- dianapolis were on hand early and late and were indefatigable in thejr efforts to make pleasant the stay of^e visitors.

The expression, that ' ' good waterers are born and not made," is to a certain extent true. One can, however, by close ~) observation and the application of com- mon sense, become quite proficient in the art. Since so much depends upon local conditions, it is impossible to give any arbitrary rules. At best, we can only relate such experiences as have, in prac- tice, proven valuable. Carnation plants, if growing vigorously and blooming profusely, require consider- able water — much more than would be implied by the advice given in a recently published catalogue, to "water only suf- ficiently to prevent plants from wilt- ing." In the morning of a bright day is con- ceded to be the ideal time in which to water, though it is admissible and even important to carefully touch up dry spots at any hour of the day or in any weather. These dry spots may occur through variations in density and depth of soil, or at points in close proximity to heating pipes. The old notion, that we are not follow- ing nature's method in watering while the sun shines, is without reason, for, though the sun is obscured during a rain- fall, everything is wet on the sun's re- appearance after passage of the storm, and have you not noticed how "things fairly jump" under these conditions? Transpiration. The amount of moisture given off by the leaves into the air is much larger than is generally supposed. Scientists have demonstrated that certain plants transpire surprising quantities, and esti- mate that over ninety-five per cent of the energy received from sunlight is used to perform the work of transpiration. Naturally this goes on more slowly dur- ing cloudy periods than when the sun shines brightly; consequently we must be on our guard against excess of moisture in dull weather. Should a sudden change from fair to cloudy weather catch us with the soil heavily watered, and perhaps the foliage wet by syringing as well, we can only remedy matters by keeping on a crack of air and turning on sufficient heat to maintain the regular cloudy day tem- perature. The principal evils arising from an oversupply of water are souring of the soil, resulting in destruction of roots, and promotion of soft growth, rendering the plant particularly susceptible to at- tacks of fungoid diseases. Watering That Impoverishes. With the modernly constructed bench, amply providing for drainage, it would be an exception to find the soil actually water-logged. Care must be taken, how- evier, not to apply the water in such quan- tities as to create a shower under the bench, thereby impoverishing the soil by leaching. Relative to . the question of overhead watering, there is little doubt but that the plants are benefited by an occasional application of water to the foliage; not, however, in such manner as would be termed syringing, but merely a gentle swash through the body of the plant. Of all plants, the carnation will most bit- terly resent the removal of that glaucous bloom peculiar to its foliage; therefore syringing should be resorted to only for the purpose of destroying red spider.

We thought for a while that the trouble was with our ice-box, but experiments seem to show that this is not the case. These carnations, with some other varieties, are grown in a house 50x150, run as near 52 to 54 de- grees at night as possible. They have been top-dressed at intervals of two weeks, with a light mulch of sheep manure, wood ashes, air-slaked lime, soot, shredded cattle manure, and blood, bone and potash — not all at once, of course, but in succession. They have usually been picked at 6:30 a. m. and not put into water until they reached the store, at about 8:30. But flowers picked at night, put immediately into water and remaining in it over night are acting in the same way. We have had numerous complaints of their not keeping well, though they were perfectly fresh when sold. It is a mystery which we are trying hard to solve, and come to you for help. We have thought the trouble might come from the flowers getting chilled on the way from the greenhouse to the store, but today, with very mild weather, we are facing the same conditions. Is it the growing or th^ after-treatment that is wrong? C. S. D. In such cases as yours it is much more likely that the cause of your trouble will be detected at home than that it will be solved by some outside party. We have had -come under our observation a num- ber of cases of carnations keeping poorly, in spite of all kinds of precautions, as well as changes in culture, handling, etc. I will say here, however, that in almost every case we have observed that where the blooms went to sleep within an un- reasonably short period of time after picking, it was not caused by faulty cul- ture, but by some other cause, usually Fred H. Lemon. (Member Entertainment Committee for Carnation Convention.) Charles Knopf. (Chairman Finance Committee for Carnation Convention.) gas — gas of some kind, from one source or another. We call to mind one case where a certain retailer turned from one grower to another vainly, in search of carnations which would stay awake two days after reaching his store. Other plants and flowers seemed to keep and grow, but no carnation grower could be found whose stock would hold up. The discovery of a minute gas leak was made quite accidentally, after hundreds of dollars of loss had been caused. The presence of gas had been suggested, but it was argued that the plants apparently grew as well here as anywhere else. It proved this one thing, that a small amount of gas may have a serious effect on carnation blooms — an amount so small that it cannot be detected by the odor. The fact that the blooms complained of in your case were sent to different places does not disprove this suggestion. If there happens to be a gas main near your carnation houses, the cause might still be the same. We have known a case of this kind, where there was a very small leak in the gas main. During mild weather, as long as the ground was not frozen, there was no trouble, but as soon as the ground froze an inch or two deep the gas could^not find a way out except to seep along^under the frozen crust until it reached the unfrozen earth under the greenhouse. As soon as the ground thawed the trouble disappeared again, l-erhaps you have a case of this kind. We find that while right or wrong cul- ture will improve or impair the lasting- qualities of carnation blooms consider- ably, it will not do so to such an extent y-:* .

Wrong methods of cul- ture will more frequently, and in fact usually, show themselves in poor texture of the petals. Overfed blooms will be soft and unable to withstand the knocks received in the handling of the stock. In such cases the blooms are used up, but not asleep. It strikes me, however, that you might have gone a trifle strong on the feed. But if you are experienced in growing carnations you would be able to see that yourself in other ways. However, it might help just a little in aggravating the trouble if it already existed. We find tnat all the Enchantress varieties are in- clined to soften when a little overfed. Your habit of not placing the stems in water for two hours after picking is a bad one. It would be better to hold them in water twenty-four hours, if it were necessary, in order to make certain trains, or for some other reason. Give this a trial. A. F. J. B. THE CARNATION MITE. I have a bench of a white carnation seedling which I selected as a good com- mercial sort three years ago. I think enough of it to drop White Perfection, White Lawson and Queen Louise, and grow no other white than the seedling. Now, this year almost every bloom looks queer when it opens. I have examined them and find what I suppose is thrips, or some kind of mite that hops. In the same house I have Enchantress and Winsor, which are not affected whatever. I am a little afraid to use the gases that I have read about in the Review. Would you please let me know if there is any way of killing these pests, besides the gases? I think that I should do away with them, if possible, before I start rooting cuttings, as I think they might possibly cling to them and I would have them next year. I have put red pepper in the tobacco two or three times when fumigating, but it does not seem to bother them much. K. W. W. open properly, it is more probably due to the ravages of the carnation mite than to thrips. If I had a specimen for examination, it would be easy to tell which it is. When thrips attack the buds, the bloom usually develops nor- mally, but there will be discolored spots, mostly around the edge of the petals. These spots are usually the first sign the grower notices of their presence. Some- times, in isolated cases, the injured petals will stick together, but not often. The injuries inflicted by the mite, however, are quite different. Instead of attacking around the edges of the petals, they seem to work in the very heart of the bud. The outside petals will frequently de- velop normally, but the center petals remain folded andr finally rot. In aggra- vated cases none of the petals will de- velop, and the whole bud decays. What little experience we have had with this pest would indicate that it discriminates between varieties considerably more than thrips does, which is another indication that it is this pest which is causing your trouble. Enchantress and Winsor are both favorites of thrips. The hydrocyanic acid gas is supposed to be the best agent for destroying this pest and I would advise you to resort to it. Use it according to the directions which have frequently appeared in these columns, and there is no danger to your plants. The most important precaution will be to allow no one to be exposed to the gas, as it is very deadly. Inasmuch as the variety under con- sideration is a seedling of yours, it may be pertinent to say here that in placing a value on ihe variety /its ability to reaist the attacks of both ftsects and diseases is ^ of great importance. Your variety may be fine in every ^aj, but if it i^ a special favorite of ofle of the common pests, no grower will want it on /his place. As between a variety of this kind and one of those which are only average in quality, but able to make a good, c^ean record year in and year out, without giv- ing the grower any worry, the grower will always select the latter to constitute his main planting. That is why so many\ If the buds on your seedlings fail to \ iiM< Peter Veiland. (Member Finance^ Committee for Carnation Convention.) January 28, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review* 25 varieties which make great records on the exhibition table are soon dropped after their dissemination. The rank and file will not give them such coddling as they have been accustomed to, and of course they fail to duplicate their former records. Consider well before you dis- card all other varieties in favor of some pet seedling. A. F. J. B. LACK OF BUDS. I have several benches of carnations, especially Fair Maids, which were benched all right, and seemed to make a good start, but lately have not been throwing many buds. The plants are healthy, showing no disease whatever, with many shoots starting, and from this stage to shoots half grown, with broad leaves and stout stems, but it seems an interminable period before a bud emerges at the top. I have given them lime and sheep manure as top dressing, separately, since November, working it into the soil. Now, is there any chemical, or other substance, such as nitrate of soda, which I could apply to hasten the plants into bud, or rather, to make them bud in- stead of sending many useless shoots f I keep the temperature as near as possi- ble to the right mark. My soil is apt to be rather heavy, as I have no soil that could be called sandy on the place, al- though the soil in the benches seems loose and not packed solid. Would such soil have any effect on certain kinds of pinks? Beacon seems to do well for me, as all shoots go directly to bud and bloom. Is there any special variety of pink which you could recommend as suited to such soilf I. F. *''^St . ^ ^ 1 'W ..•V i**. i 1 \ . '-1 Carnation Dorothy Gordon. There is not a great deal you can do with those carnations, except to have pa- tience. At this time of the year you cannot adopt any radical methods to pro- mote growth, as there is too much dan- ger of getting the plants into a soft. worthless condition. Better wait for the crop to come and get a good one, than to hasten it unduly and get an inferior quality. If you had a whole house of the va- riety in question, you could hasten them on slightly by raising the temperature about 3 degrees, providing you would run ventilation on the house almost con- tinuously. There should, however, be no ■•■•:^-..''^5^:':'--' ■ I' '.,': increase in temperature unless it be ac- companied by an increase in ventilation in proportion. All plant foods, such as nitrate of soda, etc., will soften as well as hasten growth and should be used sparingly at this time of year. You will find that some varieties are inclined to make a fall and early winter crop of blooms and to go off crop about this time, coming in again about March. You can overcome this to some extent by proper pinching, with a winter crop in view. A. F. J. B. BEST VHITE CARNATION. Please tell me what you consider the best white carnation of those generaUy grown, considering productiveness and size. H, G. F. If I had to choose one best white car- nation I would pick White Perfection. Next, and so close to it as to have but little preference, I would mention White Enchantress. Many other growers place the last named variety at the top, and the other one second. Each will occupy about the same amount of space on our place next season, with a leaning toward White Perfection. I might say in connection herewith that Lady Bountiful will not be dropped by us just yet. This variety has some points that have made it a favorite here. Lloyd seems promising abd, while its showing thus far this sea- son does not warrant its displacing any of the three varieties mentioned, yet we expec:J; it to make good here another year, and to stick.

The Pikes Peak Floral Co., Colorado Springs, Colo., found a special interest in the record of carnation cuts published in the Review January 7, comparing re- 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review* jANUAnx 28, 1909, Carnation Ruby. suits with Enchantress and Victory at the establishment of E. T. Wanzer, Wheaton, 111. When they consulted their own record for Enchantress they found that they have obtained more than fifty per cent more blooms per plant than Mr. Wanzer has cut so far this season. But when they turned to their figures for Mrs. Lawson, they found it showed prac- tically only half the production of their Enchantress. The firm has on its benches 6,318 plants of Enchantress and in the three months to January 1, 1909, the cut was 29,155, or an average of 4.61 blooms per plant. Of Lawson they had 12,048 plants and the cut in three months was 27,892, or an average of 2.31 blooms per plant. Mr. Wanzer kept a separate record of his perfect flowers and his splits, but the Hkes Peak Floral Co. puts their cut all in together as follows: Encbantress. Blooms Cut.

The com- parisons will be interesting. BLOOMS DO NOT OPEN. After reading such glowing accounts of White Perfection, I am wondering what is the trouble with my own. I have about 1,200 plants. They were good plants when housed, about September 1. They are in a good house, with plenty of head room, and have had a tempera- ture of about 50 to 54 degrees at night. The soil is new and is a medium black loam. They have had no feeding ex- cept the manure that was put in the soil. They are in full crop at present, hun- dreds of buds showing color, but the trouble I wish to refer to is, that they do not open. They do well until the flowers are about half open; then they stop and go to sleep, or, if they do mature, they will not keep. I have grown them three years now and have always had the same trouble. White Cloud would do the same thing. F. B. That your White Perfection do not open their blooms properly is certainly not the fault of the variety. It must be some local cause. This variety is giving splendid satisfaction here, with no faults except here and there a split calyx. The blooms open up full, and do it quickly. Its keeping qualities, too, are good here. I am wondering whether or not there might be seepage of gas into your house where this variety is growing. Would advise you to investigate along this line. If your plants grow well and other vari- eties thrive in it, your soil can hardly be at fault. Insufficient ventilation would aggravate the trouble, especially if there are traces of gas. If the soil is dry at the bottom, that would make it worse, too. A. r. J. B. TOBACCO ASHES AS FERTILIZER. I should like to inquire as to the value, as a fertilizer for carnations, of the ash of tobacco powder after fumi- gating. A. S. C. The ashes from any burnt vegetable matter are more or less valuable as a fertilizer, on account of the potash they contain. The per cent of potash, how- ever, will vary a great deal. According to what kind of material the ashes came from. It seems a safe rule to suppose that the slower the growth of the article Carnation No. 50, Pierson's Scott Shade of Pink. JANCAUT 28, 1000. '•'f'j'..V» The Weekly Florists^ Review* 27 ..<'^ '"•SW'i 'H-^'j^ "V ^i; ^ #•«§; the variations are severe. The same is true if cloudy and sunny weather are intermingled too much, and if, as you say, the temperature is allowed to run up excessively before the ventilators are opened. The man in charge should keep as close watch on the ventilation as he does on the watering and on the steam heat at night. A. F. J. B. DISBUDDING. In disbudding carnations, is it proper to leave the last bud up to the crown bud on the stalk and not take it off at ^m • B..G.F. In disbudding, take off every bud you can, without injuring the main bud, or the flower stem and foliage. If the bud is too small to handle properly, then leave it to be taken off later. It should come off, however, as soon as large enough to be handled properly. A. F. J. B. Carnation May Day. consumed the higher will be the per- centage of potash. That is why hard- wood ashes are more valuable than those from softer wood, etc. Tobacco, being a rapid and tender growing plant, like all annuals, would not likely contain a great deal of potash. The little you get from your fumigating would amount to little, inaeed, in improv- ing your crop. On the other hand, there is no need of wasting even the least valuable material unnecessarily. Some growers gather up in their hands the ashes from each pile or pan, after each fumigation, and scatter it thinly between the plants close by. Others have a barrel to dump them in, to be used when a sufficient amount has accumulated. The latter is, perhaps, the more commendable plan, as it promotes cleanliness as well as economy, and is certainly a heap better than to scatter them over the walk with a kick of the foSt, as some are known to do. A. F. J. B. CARNATION BRITANNIA. We have pleasure in giving you a few particulars in regard to the Britannia carnation. We have grown this variety since it was distributed and cannot speak too highly of it. It has only one fault ; it is not so long in the stem as some other sorts. American growers need have no fear in growing this sort, which is said to be a seedling from Lawson and Winter Cheer, and is quite as free as Mrs. Law- son. The bright red flowers possess a very sound calyx, which never splits and is of large size, and the foliage of the plant gives the prettiest effect of any variety in commerce. It is very free and the only sorts that can compare with it, in our estimation, are Beacon and Vic- tory, We have not yet tested Defiance suf- ficiently to say whether it is first rate or Dot. Hugh Low & Co. SPLIT CALYXES. We have been troubled a good deal lately with carnations splitting. Will letting the houses get a little on the cold side, or on the hot side, split them? We try to keep the houses about 58 to 60 degrees in cloudy weather, but some- times the sun will come out on a cloudy day and run the houses up suddenly. Will that cause them to split? Beginner. There is perhaps nothing which will cause carnations to split their calyx more than uneven temperature, especially if THE BEST THREE REDS. Please tell us what three red carna- tions are giving the best general satis- faction. C. S. M. The red carnations generally grown at present are Beacon and Victory.

Any repotting or retubbing of palms can now be done. If delayed much longer, the rush of many other duties may compel its postponement. If the foliage of the palms has not yet been cleaned during the present winter, take advantage of the general overhauling to give them a thorough sponging before repotting them. It is always wise to avoid big shifts with palms of all kinds; overpotting is often the cause of sickly foliage. For ■compost, fibrous loam which has been cut from an upland pasture, sand and broken charcoal is suitable. It is better to avoid the use of animal manures, but if the plants will have to remain in the pots some time, add a little bone meal. Where they may be kept in tubs for several years, work in a little bone of a coarser grade. Pick away loose soil with a sharp- pointed stick and use every care not to break or injure the brittle roots. Press the soil in firmly, but always leave a good surface basin for water. Soak thoroughly, then apply water more spar- ingly until root action is again in evi- dence. Plants which do not require re- potting will be benefited by having the surface soil removed and a topdressing given. In potting or tubbing palms, keep the roots below the surface. Too often kentias are seen which have been potted too high and as a consequence the stems are held by the roots several inches above the surface. Avoid syringing at this season, which will drench the pots. Water directed through a spray nozzle will keep the fo- liage cleaner than if applied in a heavier stream. With such palms as Cocos Weddelliana and Geonoma gracilis, neither of which makes many roots, it is necessary to avoid overpotting. On the other hand, the phoenix family are gross rooters. The most useful member of the latter family, P. Roebelenii, is now fairly abundant and moderate in price and should be included in every retail florist's collection. It is a beautiful decorative subject and one which succeeds specially well in the dwelling house. Hippeastrums. Hippeastrums, perhaps better known as amaryllises, are not so much seen in com- mercial establishments as could be wished. The newer hybrids are handsome and as their culture is not diflBcult, there would seem to be an opening for a moderate quantity of these handsome bulbous flowers with many retailers. We know that farther south many of these ama- ryllises succeed finely outdoors, but in the colder states greenhouse culture is necessary, except it may be in the plant- ing out of seedlings during the summer months. Where the bulbs have been resting for some time, the flower spikes will now in many cases be appearing and the plants should be repotted or at least given a rich topdressing. They do not require a warm house, but open better in a night temperature of 55 degrees, moving them to cooler quarters while in flower. A good compost for amaryllises is one con- sisting of equal parts of dry cow manure and turfy loam, with some sand and fine charcoal added. Seedlings are quite easily raised. These require to be grown on continuously with- out rest until they flower, which usually takes two or three years, although they can be bloomed in less time. Sow in flats, pot off singly when they have made a single leaf, and shift into larger sizes, as required; 6-inch and 7-inch pots are of suitable size to flower them in. The seed requires a warm, moist temperature, in which it will soon germinate, and until June the little plants should have a warm house. During summer .they will suc- ceed well in. any ordinary greenhouse or frame. In securing amaryllis seed it pays, as with all other flower seeds, to secure the best obtainable. Cheap mix- tures will prove disappointing. Cannas. It is too early yet to start cannas for spring sales, but if you want a few plants to flower in pots for late spring, start the roots" now. The possibilities of cannas as pot plants are . not fully appreciated in America, but in Europe, where the summers are cooler and the plants do not succeed so well outdoors, they are popu- lar indoor decorative plants. If you have a few nice pots in flower, you wiU find it a great help in selling your stock at bedding-out time. Customers can see at a glance what color or colors they want. Have you ever noticed, but of course you have, how geraniums or any other bed- ding plants with a flower on are se- lected in preference to bigger and better flowerless onesf Therefore, start a cou- ple of roots of each variety of canna to flower before your sales start, and you will be surprised how much it helps in disposing of your stock. While it is much too early to start your cannas for bedding, it is well to look over your roots and remove any which may be decaying. The present is a good time to stock up on any you may be short of. Seed Sowing. While it is rather early to sow a num- ber of flower seeds, there are some which can now be sown with advantage. These include cannas, Begonia semperflorGns, gloxinias, stocks for Memorial day use, asters for an early crop under glass, the best early variety being Queen of the Market; petunias, verbenas. Lobelia Em- peror William and speciosa, Primula ob- conica, antirrhinum, berried solanums for use at Christmas, Vinca rosea, im- patiens, Pennisetum Bupelianum and longistylum, two useful ornamental grasses; Pyrethrum aureum, Cineraria candidissima and violas. There is ample time yet for sowing salvia, zinnia, balsam, stock, aster, ager- atum, Drummond's phlox, dahlias and other bedding plants. If started now they will be drawn and stunted before bed- ding-out time arrives. Azaleas. It is not yet time to start any of the Carnation O. P. Bauett. JANUAHT 28, 1909.

Kub off any young growths they may be mak- ing and be sure that none are suffering from want of water. There is always a sale for an occasional nicely bloomed azalea and therefore do not hold back your whole stock for Easter, but start a small batch each week. Speaking of azaleas, it is also too early to start A. mollis for Easter. If you allow these six weeks from start to finish, you will find it ample. Dutch Bulbous Stock. The winter has so far been a compara- tively warm one and bulbous stock is coming on faster than usual. The growths will now be of such length that they can be placed directly in the light from the cellar, without any drawing up in shaded glass cases or under the benches. Those who want to hold their plants for Easter must keep them as cool as pos- sible. Not over four weeks is necessary to flower hyacinths, tulips and narcissi after placing in the greenhouse, and if we get warm spring weather, they will bloom in a week less time. Look over all bulbs in the cellars and you cannot go far wrong in giving them an occasional soaking watering. More are ruined by too little than too much water. rsfr^r^r^r^r^r^rmr^i^L!^::^^ i ^'yr»>-'yr»^'fer»>--y:»>-'yr»>''yf»>' THE RETAIL ^ FLORIST ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^5^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^a THE BOXWOOD WREATH.

Violets are preeminently the valentine flower, together with the daintiest and smallest flowers that glass can produce, as the next choice. Still, there are the devotees of the red rose and the brilliant carnations, who prefer their dash and show to the quiet purple and green of the violet, the vanishing blue of the for- get-me-not, or the waxy bells of the lily of the valley. The G)nventionaI Heart and Arrow. For large and striking pieces hearts of red are deservedly popular, though not new. To take from the solidity of the piece, add an arrow. If one of wire is not at hand, whittle out the shape of an arrow, with the point and feather from a small cycas leaf, and gild or silver it. For a table have a flat heart, and a bow and arrow of small white flowers, drawn and suspended overhead. Tiny bows and arrows or hearts can be used as favors. The hearts should be made like a solid funeral design, without trimming or green, and should be rounded so as to appear full in the cen- ter. The shape can easily be obtained by banking the moss high on the center of the frame. If only outline heart frames are at hand, construct a soliS bottom and fill as if using a solid frame. Other flirty designs, like butterflies and fans, make catchy valentine decora- tions. Almost the same designs can be adapted from window decorations to table and house designs. We will con- sider these a little later, after some more suggestions as to bows and arrows. Cupid the Central Figure. A large bow and arrow, strung, can be hung from the ceiling. At some con- venient point perch a tiny Cupid, drag- ging along a pierced heart by a narrow ribbon. Below, on the floor of the win- dow, scatter more arrows and hearts, and tiny receptacles for flowers, daintily filled. If a red rose display is used, set a small Cupid inside of a large, half- open bud, conspicuously placed, or fill a bark canoe with red roses or violets, and have Cupid at the paddle. Another: Suspend a bisque Cupid holding a cluster of narrow ribbon, at- tached to the numerous ends of which are scattered about below bunches of violets, boxes of violets, hampers with violet cord ties, and all the dainty de- vice^ for bunching, tying and delivering flowers. If it is desirable to introduce other colors, a large choice is left open in the way of combinations with light pink or white flowers. Hamperst Umbrellas and Fans* Another window or table decoration may be composed of various styles of hampers, some open and filled, others only partly open, with a Cupid's head appearing near the edge. Others may be closed, with a bunch of violets or other flowers lying on the lid. Others may be wrapped as for delivery, with violet cord and a pretty address tag. Another: Cover a Japanese umbrella frame, from which the paper covering has been removed, with a new covering of wide chiffon and a full rufltte. Par- tially close the umbrella and turn the The Wreath of Boxwood. T, -^f ■ J,-' ,M ■.•-.?■■ -.z^: 30 The Weekly Florists' Revie\!(7. Jandaky 28, 1909. handle upward. Fill with flowers loosely and give Cupid a place among them. A large fan spread in full view may form a good centerpiece for a valentine window. Set the open fan upright. Fill in ^ith violets and white in regulation strides, alternating the colors distinctly. Have Cupid peeping out from over the top. By way of a practical suggestion, lay a dainty corsage of violets down beside the fan. Valley or Eomans may be used to good advantage for a fringe along the upper edge of the fan, with a cluster of green or violet cord attached to the handle below„ Sharply contrast- ing colors should be used for the stripes. Simple Table Decorations. For simple table decorations trace a series of heart outlines, with loose violets laid on the cloth. The foliage of English violets will form an occasional heart of green among the purple ones. Between the heart outlines make trailers, as often seen in embroidery work, of violet heads caught one in the spur of the other and the stems flying in opposite directions. Coquettish hats and saucy baskets or '.'granny" muffs of violets make good valentine centerpieces. If violets or red are used, bring out in strong relief by a light, contrasting background. The setting for any one of the above designs for a window should be carefully planned. Bearing in mind the size and style of the design, consider carefully the distance at which it should be placed from the glass. A small, dainty piece should be placed rather close to the front, while a large, striking design must be more retiringly placed, with a simple setting. The Question of "Filling In." Quite often it is a question what else to put in the window to "fill in." It is better not to have any ' ' filling in ' ' to do. Make the special design large enough to occupy most of the space. Have a suitable floor background, and if a plain WQcdwork or mirror background is found, fteak its severity by a green vine tracing or a fabric drapery touched with some flower seen in the design. Do not try to show something of every- thing in the house. Limit the variety dis- jilayed to the theme of the decoration. In other words, do not introduce any- thing but what can find a fitting place in the general scheme. For example, sup- pose you are exhibiting a standing piece and have some presentable blooming plants also. So group the plants about the base as to make it appear that they are planted into that same base, and you may extend that base as far as the bounds of the window and still have a reasonable connection and unity for the whole thing. Gertrude Blair. LEAF BLIGHT IN GERANIUMS. Please give me a remedy for the geranium leaf blight. It causes the plants to lose their leaves when bedded out in the summer. It comes in small brown splotches on the leaves and spreads until the leaves are practically covered and fall off. It almost defoliates the plants at times, and is much worse in damp or rainy weather and while the plants are small. I enclose some leaves that show signs of it. E. T. The trouble referred to is common and is diflBcult to control. Under glass it is possible to minimize the attacks by care- ful watering and ventilating, but out- doors so much depends on atmospheric conditions that we can never be quite certain how our plants will stand spells of damp, muggy weather. Our expe- rience has been that fall propagated cut- tings, carefully hardened before plant- ing out, are less susceptible to blight than winter or early spring struck cut- tings. The first named are rooted with- out bottom heat; the latter are usually given more warmth and never seem to possess the same vitality as the late fall rooted stock. Spraying with a solution of perman- ganate of potash is said to act as a deterrent on both geraniums and holly- hocks. Spraying should begin, of course, before the blight appears. Once it has made its appearance, we are afraid there is little that can be done to prevent its running its course. If the trouble comes while the plants are small, in all cases it might pay to spray with either per- manganate of potash or Bordeaux mix- ture, but with most growers the trouble shows most pronouncedly in the dog-day weather of July and August. C. W. PAUL CRAMPEL AS A STANDARD. Those who require standard geraniums in pots for placing in suitable positions on terraces and lawns, or other desirable situations in summer, should grow that brightest of all summer-flowering varie- ties, Pelargonium Paul Crampel. Plants raised from stout cuttings grown on vigorously soon reach the height re- quired, three feet to four feet for the taller specimens. By repeated pinching of the points as fast as a little growth is made, the foundation of good heads is soon made, and the plants can after- wards be grown on as desired. As a free- flowering variety this pelargonium has few equals, and certainly no superior, when we consider its vigorous growth. In the gardens at West Dean Park last summer, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine, I saw some charming stand- ards of this variety, arranged on the grass with a background of evergreens, and the great masses of flower trusses produced a brilliant effect. Mitchell, S. D. — The Newburys are building four houses 14x120, which will increase their glass area to about 50,000 square feet. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. The U. S. Treasury Department has just completed the record of imports and exports for the month of November, 1908. It is of interest to note how the totals for all classes of seeds compare with the preceding year, as follows: Seeds. 1907. 1908. Imports $ 693,237 ?349,483 Exports 1.007,506 496,617 : MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. Trade has been somewhat dull the last two weeks, this January not being nearly as good as last year's. Stock is plenti- ful, except that there was a little- scarcity of roses last week, occasioned by the dark weather. Bulb stock is on the mar- ket in full blast. Beauties are scarce and short stemmed. Plants are not mov- ing very fast. The abominable, slushy weather keeps people indoors, and thus the cut flower business falls off. Variottt Notes. The meeting of the Florists' Club was held Tuesday evening, January 19. It was well attended, and an interesting meeting was held. Mr. Holm, of Holm & Olson, read a paper touching the busi- ness entirely from a retailer's point of view, and it contained some pithy re- marks, and a lot of good, practical sug- gestions. C. I. Lindskoog has put in a stock of goldfish, and finds his new adjunct profit- able. Henry Kusik & Co. find their new quarters very satisfactory, and report an ever increasing number of orders in and out of town. The Minneapolis Floral Co. had a good business in funeral work last week, most- ly for out-of-town shipping. M. E. M. LEXINGTON, KY. Tlie Market. Business conditions last week were good. There were several large funerals that cleaned out quantities of stock. We are having some sunshine now and stock is more abundant than it has been. Roses are of fairly good quality. Car- nations are plentiful and good and meet with a ready sale. There is a satisfactory demand for Soman hyacinths, callas, Paper Whites, narcissi, lily of the valley, and Lilium longiflorum. Sweet peas are in good sup- ply and demand. Tulips and freesias are on the market. Asparagus, smilax and galax are abundant and move satisfactorily. Other green goods are plentiful and are sell- ing well at present. Cyclamens, azaleas and primulas have a fairly good demand. Various Notes. James P. Keller has been busy the last three weeks with funeral work. His roses and carnations are of good quality. Henry Ballard, of J. A. Keller's, was in Cynthiana, Ky., last week, on busi- ness. Leonard Knight, the vegetable grower on the Harrodsburg road, is adding an- other house, 350 feet long. John Ballow, of Frankfort, Ky., was a visitor. Blue Grass. ^).'.-.-i January 28, 1909. The Weekly Florists' Review* 31 RED BANK, N. J. Horticultural Society Meets. The Monmouth County Horticultural Society held its fifth annual dinner at the Sheridan hotel, in this city, and the affair from start to finish was one of the most successful things of its kind that the writer has ever attended. The dinner committee, Messrs. N, But- terbach, W. Turner, Harry A. Kettel, George H. Hale and William Dowling, got up an excellent menu. At the close of the dinner Dr. W. S. Whitmore, who acted as toastmaster, after a few eloquent remarks on the good the society had done and was doing in the community, called on the newly elected president, Joseph Kennedy, to ad- dress the members present, which he did in a manner that augurs well for his ad- ministration. He welcomed the represen- tatives of other societies present, and was followed by A. Herrington, who spoke for the Morris county society; F. Neubrand, who spoke for the Tarrytown society, and A. Bauer, who represented the Elberon society. All of these gentlemen congratulated the society on its work and on the cordial relations existing between it and its sis- ter organizations. The Rickards brothers gave several fine songs and A. L. Holden, a prominent New York architect, made a strong plea for a closer relationship between the architect of a mansion and the landscape gardener who lays out the grounds. His suggestion that horticultural societies en- dow a scholarship to permit worthy young gardeners to specialize in this particular line is worth careful consideration among horticultural bodies. Charles H. Totty thanked the mem- bers for their generous treatment of him, and in return offered his $50 silver trophy for 1909, to be competed for by this society at its next fall show, condi- tions to be left to the exhibition commit- tee. William Duckham, known as the oflS- cial jollier, made one of his best efforts in that Une, and was followed by Father Egan, of Seabright; Father Kelly, of Ked Bank, and Dr. Field, who gave us good advice and told us some excellent stories. ■ Mr. Kemp, superintendent for Dr. Van Vliet, gave an excellent talk on the work which painstaking gardeners are doing in improving plants and flowers, and in- cidentally made a few digs at Luther Burbank. Many others, too numerous to mention in detail, made remarks, short but perti- nent, among them William Turner, George Hale, N. Butterbach, W. W. Ken- nedy and A. Metzdorf. The fun was concluded about 2 a. m. by Harry Kettel singing "Rolling Home," with a full chorus accompanying him. One hundred members and guests were present and every one went away de- lighted with the evening's entertain- ment. VlDI. PITTSBURG. The Market. Slow trade was the order of the week and the weather was partly to blame, starting the week with snow and winding up with thunder, lightning and rain. There was plenty of stock of all kinds and prices, accordingly, were low. Vio- lets seemed to fare worse than anything else. Among the retailers there were ♦^ ' v -^.-^^ V ^^^■■■ii -^^•ii m I "^ ' bHI '% m Hiiii^ Three Well-known Pittsburgers. some good funeral orders and they needed them, as society is still in a coma- tose state. Various Notes. Randolph & McClements, the Zieger Co. and H. L. Blind & Bros., the east end people, are closing their stores at 6 p. m., except Saturday night. A party consisting of Fred Burki, E. C. Reineman, P. S. Randolph, Henry Blind, W. A. Clarke, E. C. Ludwig and De Forest Ludwig visited the J. B. Mur- doch greenhouses at Vaneman, Pa., last Tuesday, and spent a pleasant day. The houses were not in the condition they hoped to see them, owing to the shortage of water. On account of the drought last summer, the springs which supplied them with water gave out entirely, mak- ing them dependent on a deep well which they have been pumping from, but this developed some salt, which did not help their roses, nor was it the best thing for the carnations. By next season this will be overcome by putting in a different water system. The Geddis store, at Homestead, Pa., was placed on sale last Tuesday and was knocked down at $800 to W. D. Faulk, the highest bidder. Mr. Faulk is known as a hustler and has the good wishes of his friends in the new venture. The Hartman brothers, who sold out their houses here several years ago and went to farming in Ohio, have again sold out and were in the city last week bid- ding good-bye to their old friends before starting for the west, as they will settle in Idaho or Oregon. Ben Elliott, who is associated with John Bader, will leave the last of the week with his brother, J. Wilkinson El- liott, and several others, to make a tour of Italy by automobile. J. Wilkinson Elliott visited most of Germany last fall and left his machine on the other side for this trip, which he had in mind at that time. The Southview Floral Co. has taken the store room at 1734 Carson street, formerly occupied by M. F. Stafford, who recently failed. A thief recently entered the home of E. W. Garland, of the Finleyville Floral Co., taking his watch and chain, best suit of clothes and about $100 in money. David Geddis, who left some time ago for Texas, returned last Saturday. He is interested in the real estate business there, and is here in connection with a large deal -they have on hand. He will return in about ten days; his headquar- ters will be Harrisburg and Houston, Tex. Visitors: H. D. Rohrer, Lancaster, Pa.; William Edlefsen, Milwaukee, Wis. Hoo-Hoo. OBITUARY. John W. Crane. John W. Crane, of Bethany, O., died Wednesday evening, January 13, of gen- eral debility. He was 72 years of age. He was born .in Ohio and had lived in Bethany for a number of years. He spent the latter part of his life in the growing of plants and flowers. He is survived by his wife. NEV BEDFORD. MASS. The cut flower trade remains about the saftie as usual. Carnations are doing well. Carnations retail at 50 cents and 60 cents per dozen; roses, from $1.50 to $2 per dozen. Violets bring $1.50 per hundred blooms, retail; sweet peas, $1 per hundred, retail. A good supply of tulips and Paper White narcissi is now coming in; they retail at 50 cents per dozen. Freesias have now made their ap- pearance and they work in well for fu- neral work. Funeral work is good, and much short stuff is used up in this way. Most of the growers here are now mak- ing ready for Decoration day, by sowing Ten Weeks' Stocks and candytuft. We are having very mild weather here at present. R. H. Woodhouse has a nice batch of young geraniums coming along for the spring trade. E. Y. Peirce and family spent last week at their cottage at Onset, Mass. William Livesey is cutting some nice Lloyd carnations. Peter Murray's Winsors are doing finely at his Fairhaven place. This va- riety has a beautiful color and takes well with the public. W. L. MiNOT, N. D. — A sudden blaze on Sun- day morning, January 17, destroyed the entire stock in Geo. E. Valker's green- houses. The damage to the building is but slight, though a good deal of the glass was broken by the heat. The fire started in the basement, where the heat- ing plant is located. Mr. Valker had be- gun business only about a month before. The most necessary repairs were made at once. 32 The Weekly Florists' Review* JANDABX 28, 1909. THE FLORISTS' REVffiW G. L.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Legislative and Tariff Committee. Benjamin Hammond, chairman of the legislative and tariff committee, has is- sued a circular letter in which he asks for the assistance of members of the trade in his efforts to obtain information on such matters as affect the revision of the tariff on horticultural products. Mr. Hammond's letter contains the fol- lowing set of questions, with the request that they be promptly answered and re- turned to him: 1. Are you engaged in importing merchan- dise known as "horticultural goods"? 2. What class of horticultural goods do you Import, and to what extent? 3. On what articles, In your estimation.- should the tariff be Increased? Why? 4. Name any articles on which you think the tariff should be reduced, and why? 5. Name any articles In the said class on which you think the tariff should not be changed, and why? 6. Please give your views as to the advan- tage to importers of a specific rather than ad valorem duty on horticultural goods. 7. Have you made an appeal from the decis- ion of the appraisers at any of the ports of entry? If so, when and where and with what results? Registration of Cypripedium. Public notice is hereby given that Al- fred J. Loveless, of Lenox, Mass., offers for registration the plant described be- low. Any person objecting to the regis- tration of this plant or to the use of the proposed name is requested to com- municate with the undersigned at once. Failing to receive objection to the regis- tration, the same will be made three weeks from this date. Date— January 25, 1909. Name — Ursula. Kind of plant — cypripedium.

There are many factors which may influence an advertiser part of the time, but it is actual results which influence him most of the time: If this reaches you in time, drop my adver- tisement for lettuce plants from this week's issue, as I am deluged with orders from the one insertion. An order this morning for 10,000 from seed bed takes everything that is left. 1 have shipped this week to Ohio, Indiana, Penn- sylvania and Kansas. With many thanks above the price of the advertisement, 1 am, yours, W. L. LEEK A. Fairmount, 111., January 19, 1909. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There are widely varying reports on last week's business. Early in the week demand was brisk, supply light and prices strong, but spring-like weather marked the close of the week. Saturday, January 23, the temperature was 65 de- grees, breaking all records for January in the history of the weather bureau. There was hardly a glimpse of the sun throughout the week, else the supply would have increased much more than it did. Such unseasonable heat could not but bring in a lot of soft, unsatisfactory stock. Some houses say the business fell off the latter part of the week, but others say January 23 was the best Saturday of the winter, the sales running to a higher total than on any other one day outside the Christmas season. The present week started off with con- siderably increased supply, deteriorated quality and weaker prices, but good busi- ness suflficed to clean the market out in fair shape. Hoses show the effect of the bad weather more than do any othet flowers, but they hold their prices more firmly than anything else. Pink roses have lost their color and Maid is the weakest of the roses. In weather such as we have had, Killarney comes strongly to the front. There are good supplies of Richmond, excellent in quality. Sev- eral houses are cutting heavily of Beau- ties, and especially of long stems, but there is considerable difference in qual- ity. Bride is and has for some time been the shortest item in the list and has com- manded a little extra price* Carnations have come in heavily and prices have weakened. A good deal of the stock is soft as a result of the heat, and both growers and wholesalers were glad to see cooler weather again, with a little sun. There was a large sale for violets during the warm days of last week, but home-grown singles are now coming in so heavily that the prices have gone down, at the same time affecting the salability of the Hudson river stock. Harrisii lilies are again in large sup- V' -^^K- 1 • ■ rj»w.T;;i:»r .. ri^STX' '-.'« January 28, 1909. The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Preparati-ons are being made for a big business fo-r Valentine's day, February 14. Last y ear there was a splendid sale for boxes of flowers, particularly fancy boxes of vi.olet8. The supply houses are all offering novelties in the line of violet boxes and the wholesalers who handle violets in c^uantity are making arrange- ments for trhe biggest day's business of the year. "Valentine's day falls on Sun- day this yesir, which probably is the best day in the "week for this business. Vuious Notes. The IllincDis Heater & Mfg. Co., known to the trad_e as the maker of the self- watering fllower boxes, window boxes, pots, jardin_ieres and other metal special- ties, is abount to remove from 3947 Went- worth aver»ue to Downers Grove, 111., where the company has recently pur- chased a th._ree-story brick factory build- ing with aboout three acres of additional ground, whiich will permit it to largely increase its output. January S2 Weiland & Risch filled the largest singZIe order for funeral work ever known in tMiis market. It was for fifty 18-inch wresaths for the George W. Jack- son Co., to be used at the funeral of its men killed in last week's crib accident. Fifty bodie : s, each "with its wreath, were buried in o ne grave. Weiland & Itisch worked all MDight January 22, making the wreaths. T hey were required to be first- class in everry respect and were made of magnolia leaves and Bride roses. Gottfried Amling, who is 76 years of age, was taken suddenly ill January 21 and was operated on January 24 at the Oak Park hospital, where he now is doing nicely. He is the father of E. G. Am- ling, Albert F. Amling and "William Am- ling, all well known in the trade. E, C. Amling had already bought tickets for himself and family to California for a brief rest, which his father's illness has now caused him to abandon. The Poehlmann Bros. Co. is short- handed at the city store this week. O. W. Frese went home ill January 23 and Mons Olson has been on the sick list since the middle of last week. N. J. Wietor is conducting a hospital this week, wife and children all being ill with tonsilitis. The A. L. Randall Co. has become Cook County agent for the Mandy Lee incubators, brooders and poultry sup- plies. This new department is entirely distinct from the florists' business and is in charge of H. S. Seely, formerly with Vaughan's Seed Store. It is the report that the Randall Co. intends to develop the poultry supply department into a general seed business in charge of Mr. Seely. Kennicott Bros.

It has been forgotten in this market as a factor affecting business. The E. F. Winterson Co. says gold- fish are the best side line any florist can carry. Zech & Mann say the shipping demand is strong for other things than roses. Albert Fuchs was cited into the debtors' court January 23 on a judg- ment for $70 in favor of a printing con- cern. He says he holds real estate worth half a million dollars, but that his in- come is temporarily diverted. Neverthe- less, he paid the $70. Peter Reinberg is duplicating his last year's January crop of Beauties. The John C. Moninger Co. has gone into the pipe business, procuring its sup- plies at first hand and carrying several carloads in stock. The company also sells the Herendeen boiler.

H. Hunt's a stock of supplies for the new store Mr. Bather is opening at 235 Fifth avenue, Clinton. The Horticultural Society had an ani- mated session last Tuesday, in which all oflBcers were reelected except the secre- tary, assistant secretary and executive committee. The election of these was postponed for two weeks. Chicago was well represented at In- dianapolis. There were twenty-six pas- sengers in the special car, including Pres- ident Valentine and one or two others from outside points. A small fire broke out one day this week in the Atlas block, where some of Chicago's leading wholesale florists have their headquarters. The damages sus- tained were slight. ^fEVYORK. The Market. There is no use coddling winter any longer. It will not come in. Last week's cold snap snapped off in an hour. The week ended in rain and slush and the present week opened with most of the accompaniments of spring. It is de- moralizing business. Fortunately, dur- ing the last week the supply has been limited, and the demand left the market nicely depleted daily. But this week opens with a downward tendency and shipments are increasing. Samuel Lum, of Chatham, one of the large rose grow- ers there, who was in the city January 25, takes a rather gloomy view of the situation from the grower's standpoint. He has one of the largest plants in that great rose-growing section and speaks with the authority of fifteen years' ex- perience. "Koses haven't paid the grower for years; not since the year of the sun spots," he says, "and present prices leave no margin of profit." These are not the views of a pessimist, but of a philosopher. He predicts a reduction in the number of rose growers in the country, unless there comes a great change for the better in the outlook. Certainly the cut flower growers of this section have had a strenuous season to date. Beauties are lower, 50 cents securing the best of them. Brides and Maids have fallen to 8 cents for the selected and all the new varieties are going at a concession from last week's figures. The carnation crop is coming in with a vengeance; grand stock it is, especially the novelties, but the average price is lower. This applies, too, to orchids, which are abundant. Violets have fallen again. Seldom will the extra special selected bunches of 100 go above 50 cents, and of the ordinary and mediocre stock that arrives, the street man with his "twent-centa buncha" tells the story. Valley, gardenias and green goods show no change. Retail windows look wonderfully attractive and spring- like. Prices are kept reasonable; $1 boxes even have appeared, a sure sign of surplus, and most of the stores re- port the usual dinner, wedding and steamer demands. Lent approaches, but has no further terrors. Various Notes. The Emerald and Old Guards balls will be national affairs that should be felt in the retail current. The debutantes are still coming out encouragingly. M. A. Bowe had a unique decoration last week at the Union Club. It was for a rail- road man and represented a railroad scene. With the aid of electricity the cars were in constant motion. An arti- ficial lake was in the center and minia- ture stations and copies of scenery en route added to the realistic character of the display. Another prosperous retailer, Joseph Leikens, of Fifth avenue, has just added an $800 horse to his facilities for travel. The new store at the corner of Broad- way and Twenty-eighth street, into which it is said Charles Thorley will move in the spring, is next door to A. Warendorff's, the entrance of the popu- lar Fifth Avenue theater only separating them. Talk about window decoration I Wait! There will be competition in this contiguity that will make blase pe- destrians stand still and take notice. After all, we have a slim representa- tion from New York at the IndianapoUs convention. Sickness in the family pre- vented ex-President Traendly's attend- ance. March 17 the annual dinner of the National Association of Gardeners is an- nounced. John Shore is president. The society is planning for a big flower show and convention on that date and many silver cups and medals will be competed for, EUwanger & Barry and Lord & Burnham being among the donors. W. R. Smith, who has been with Peter Henderson & Co. for over twenty years, left January 23 for the state of Wash- ington, where he has purchased land for fruit growing. The firm held him in high esteem and joined with the em- ployees in the presentation of a hand- some testimonial on his departure. The next meeting of the Florists' Club is carnation night, February 8, and a large exhibit is assured. Harry 36 The Weekly Florists^ Review* JANDA.BT 28, 1909. ...FORMOSA LILIES...

May, secretary of the exhibition com- mittee, has arranged to stage attractively all exhibits sent by express in care of John Young, secretary of the club, 51 West Twenty-eighth street, New York city. Members who attended the Indian- apolis convention will be present and de- scribe the meeting there. Some of them we expect to return with high honors. It will be a gala night and the pro- visions by J. B. Nugent, chairman of the house committee, will be above the ordinary. The annual dinner of the Florists' Club will be given in the Eoman banquet hall at Shanley's, Forty-second street and Broadway. It will be a popular din- ner and includes the ladies. Tickets are $4 for gentlemen and $3 for ladies, and the hour is 6:30 Saturday evening, Feb- ruary 20. W. J. Elliott is chairman of the committee. John Armsley, superintendent of the Schlegel estate at Seventy-second street and Second avenue, Bay Ridge, Brook- lyn, has a beautiful exhibit of Cattleya Trianae, of over 1,000 blooms. The sympathy of the trade goes out to Walter Beimels, of Woodhaven, in the loss of his wife January 20. The young couple had only been married seven months. Mr. Beimels is prostrated by the sudden calamity. He is a son of John Beimels, the popular florist and president of the First National Bank of Ozone Park, L. I. The local seed and bulb houses are fast getting in trim for the spring rush and travelers for all the houses are en- thusiastic on the outlook. Great addi- tions are already made to the working force in these establishments and the many handsome catalogues, which have left on their mission in hundreds of thousands, are already doing business. Harry Bunyard, Al. Bickards, W. E. Marshall, Jack Hunter, Walter Mc- Dougall, George Burnett, W. E. Sperling, Walter Mott, Charles M. Taggert and a host of others are out on the road booming things for their respective firms. These heralds of optimism are like tonics wherever they go, in awak- ening hope and ambition in the hearts of the floriculturists in every section of the country. Friday, January 29, is McKinley day. The wholesalers have the usual indica- tion of it in their windows, but the re- tailers seem to take little interest, al- though it seems as though a little enter- prise on their part would pay hundred- fold. James Snyder, violet grower, in the Bhinebeck Gazette of last week gives George Saltford credit for being the en- terprising pioneer of the violet industry in Bhinebeck and vicinity, he having there discovered the soil which has made that locality the natural home of the violet in this country. J. Austin Shaw. BOSTON. The Market Conditions might be better, but, every- thing considered, the market cannot be classed as unsatisfactory. They are cer- tainly better than a year ago, and while stock does not move as expeditiously as could be wished, there is no slump in prices. Boses continue to meet with a good sale and are now of excellent qual- ity, American Beauties and Killarneys being especially fine. Carnations are in oversupply, prices remaining much the same as a week ago. Violets, with the mild weather prevailing most of the time, are getting quite plentiful and have in consequence softened in price a little. Bulbous stock increases in quantity, but so far has cleared out well. Boman hy- acinths and Paper Whites are now less in evidence. Stevia is still seen in con- siderable quantity. Sweet peas vary as much in quality as price. Some are fine, stems extra long. Callas and lilies are in good supply and pansies are more abundant. Myosotis, candytuft, stocks, snapdragons, mi- gnonette and a variety of other season- able flowers are seen. There is a good supply of smilax, adiantum and aspara- gus. Prices on these remain about the same. Varioiii Notes. The Boston Cooperative Flower Grow- ers' Association has issued the prelimi- nary premium list for its annual flower show, to be held in Horticultural hall, February 27 and 28. The exhibition prom- ises to be the largest of a trade char- acter ever held in New England, and many visitors from other states will attend. The stereopticon lecture by Prof. E. A. White, of Amherst, on * ' Ornamental Gar- dens and Garden Materials," attracted an audience which filled the lecture room of Horticultural hall January 23.

Eoses and car- nations remain the staple, but excellent tulips and daffodils are arriving in good numbers. Violets are improving and roses are of better crop and better color. Funeral work has been brisk and there has been an increased demand for cut flowers for social functions. Horticultural Society.

Florists' and Gardeners' Club. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Ehode Island was held in Swarts Lodge hall, 98 Westminster street, Monday evening, January 18. There was an unusually large attendance, drawn together by the occasion of the thirteenth annual dinner. Members and friends to the number of nearly forty gathered, notwithstanding that the temperature was approximating the zero mark. The recently elected officers took their respective stations, Charles S. Macnair presiding. On the president's table was a large bunch of white and pink chrysan- themums that attracted considerable at- tention and were the subject of animated discussion later in the evening. These were shown by James Hockey, who re- ported that he was cutting them con- tinuously and that he had a large num- ber yet to cut. He announced that he thought he would have blooms for Eas- ter, The blooms were NeUie Pockett and Dr. Enguehard. A short business meeting was held dur- ing the early part of the evening, at which President Macnair announced the appointment of the following standing committees for the ensuing year: Essays and discussions, Cornelius Hartstra, William Hill and James Hockey; enter- tainment, William Appleton, Owen Mc- Manus and Michael Sweeney; investiga- tion, Alexander Macrae, E.

The Riling Eastern Market Conditions have materially changed since the report of one week ago. The weather has moderated; in fact, we have been enjoying a genuine January thaw, with a moderate amount of sunshine and an immoderate amount of fog. The fog did not do much good, but the sunshine helped production to a marked degree. The demand has hardly improved in pro- portion to the supply, prices being a shade easier. Business is good for the last week in January, the volume being much larger than during the scarcity of the dark, cold weather of a week ago. Beauties have receded slightly, there being an ample supply of the long stemmed and a fair supply of the short stemmed flowers, with a scanty supply of medium grades. The proportion of imperfect blooms is decreasing. The specials of Richmond and Ballarney are fine indeed, both in color and substance. Mrs. Jardine is also good. Brides and Maids are in fair supply; the short stemmed flowers of Bride, the grade most in demand for design work, are not equal to requirements. The demand for carnations has quick- ened, the market being better sustained on all grades and varieties of a week ago. White has some off days, but the end of last weel^ saw a good elean-up on all colorless stock. Violets sold fairly well toward the end of last week, but the market broke with the warmer weather on Monday, the street taking a large portion of the stock at figures that were for the street very good. The supply of singles is excel- lent, of local doubles only moderate. Callas have been in oversupply. There is no special feature to the Easter lily market, the demand being generally equal to the moderate supply now coming into town. Daffodils are selling well, the quantity arriving being larger than a week ago. Freesia is also much more abundant. Tulips are in good supply, with a moderate demand. Gardenias have been selling well indeed, and it is doubtful if this market has ever seen such fine stock. The heavy supply of Cattleya Trianse is past. Prices held well throughout, and will probably stiffen a little as the supply decreases. There are a few Ccelogyne cristata about, and also a few Dendrobium formosum. Cyps are nearly over. Sweet pea conditions remain unchanged — the best selling, the poor begging. There are odd conditions in the green situation. Stated briefly, bunches of plumosus are scarce and high; that is, you do not get as much plumosus for your money; while smilax is extremely plentiful, and does not sell at all. - Shipping is excellent. Various Notes. Alexander B. Scott left for Summer- ville, S. C, on the Florida express on the afternoon of January 25. Joseph Heacock, James W. Heacock and Robert Jamison, of Wyncote, Pa., and Albert M. Herr, of Lancaster, Pa., are attending the carnation meeting at Indianapolis this week. Robert Craig, John Westcott, D. C. Donohue and Dr. Lane, of this city, and Julius Roehrs, of Rutherford, N. J., will sail from New York January 30, on the steamer Havana for Cuba, and thence to the Isle of Pines, on a combined busi- ness and pleasure trip. William J.

Pa., will erect one new house, 40x250, Lord & Burnham material, for carnations the coming sea- son. The Messrs. Harvey have been sending high grade carnations for sev- eral years past to the Leo Niessen Co., their stock equaling any flowers in the market. John Kuhn, Olney, Pa., has, in addi- tion to the carnations for which he is famous, a fine house of orchids and an- other of gardenias. Mr. Kuhn is an able grower.

The Collingdale Nurseries have made a specialty of Asparagus plumosus. The cut is sold by Alfred M. Campbell. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have been manufacturing many novelties in their warehouse factory. The shelves are full of clean, attractive looking stock, includ- ing special wedding and Valentine orders. J. Otto Thilow, of Henry A. Dreer's, speaks enthusiastically of his visit to State College, where he addressed the students, as mentioned in this column two weeks ago. Mr. Thilow thinks the college should receive the hearty support of everyone interested in horticulture. The Henry F. Michell Co. has its new store, at 518 Market street, in apple-pie order. A stroll through the lower floor was full of interest. Red Wing, the new carnation of the Robert Craig Co., is now in full crop. It is a better color and a better pro- ducer than Beacon. The flowers, though not so large, are a good, salable size. Robert A. Craig says that, when known, Red Wing will be grown by every grower who plants carnations for profit.' Two fakers somehow obtained the privilege of selling flowers in Horticul- tural hall at the chefs' ball, on the night of January 18.

Tills, with funeral work, made good busi- ness for the local retailers. Tlie whole- salers, too, report a good shipping trade and only regret that the rose crop is off. The demand for roses was brisk and con- signments were cleaned up daily. Fancy Jong Beauties have been scarce. There are plenty of shorts, but the bulk of them come deformed. Carnations, too, have been in demand, but there were plenty for all demands, white being cleaned up almost daily. California vio- lets are down to 50 cents per hundred in small lots. The market is well sup- plied with them. Sweet peas and tulips sell well. Bomans are a glut and there are plenty of Paper Whites, valley and callas to be had. These, with a few t'reesias, cover the consignments that come to this market. Everything in greens is in plenty. Vaxiout Notes. J. Henry Kahrs, who recently bouglit out the Burke store at 605 Locust street, held an opening reception Saturday, Jan- uary 23, inviting the general public. Handsome souvenirs were given and music made the opening a success. C. Young & Sons Co. has just issued its spring catalogue, which is most com- plete and a credit to the firm. They are making big preparations to handle a large spring shipping trade. They are the largest shippers of plants in the city. J. Van Hook, of Ferguson, is consign- ing to this market some extra well grown carnations and California violets. The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. has a new folding wire plant stand, which will be put on sale in a few days. It is something new for plant decora- tions. F. C.

There were two handsome decorations last week, one of American Beauties at Louisiana hall for the reception of the supreme officers of the Legion of Honor, and the other at the Missouri Athletic (Mub, of pink carnations, for the Royal Arcanum banquet. < '. J-i. Howard, gardener for St. Vin- cent 's Institution at Wellston, has his new conservatory filled with plants of all kinds. He will grow a lot of outdoor stock this summer. Robert Thomson & Co., local green- house builders, have recently completed a new greenhouse at the Yeatman high school and one for the St. Vincent 's In- stitution at Wellston. The Engelmann Botanical Club should have held its monthly meeting January 1], but owing to the severe snow storm the meeting was postponed until Monday, January 25. This year marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Dr. George Engelmann, after whom the club has been named. The subject for this meeting was ' ' Twigs of Woody Plants in Winter," by C. H. Thompson, of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Prof. H. C, Irish presided over the meeting. W. W. Ohlweiler is secretary and treas- urer. The St. Louis Horticultural Society held its monthly meeting in the hall of the Central Y. M. C. A. and elected its officers for the ensuing year. They are as follows: President, Edward Mallinck- rodt ; vice-presidents, Leonard Mathews, D. S. Brown, J. B. Gazzam and .T. H. Gundlach; secretary. Otto G. Koenig; treasurer, Fred C. Weber. George B.

The society of- fered $50 in j)rizes for best kept gardens and home surroundings this summer. It was also voted to hold a spring flower show during March or April. J. J. B. ONCINNATL The Market A week of duU business has just passed. It is hard to find a single bright spot in it. Perhaps the fact that stock is not overplcntiful is the greatest thing we have to be thankful for. Tlie ma- jority of the retail stores are complain- ing of the poor demand and the wholesale houses can report only a fair business. No matter how you estimate it, it will hardly figure up to last year. Roses are equal to the demand. Red roses are in good demand and Beauties can be considered scarce. Outside of that, all orders can be filled easily and there is some surplus. But, aside from this, it must be stated that the average price now is considerably lower than for W-^^ i^*"- • JANDABY 28, 1900.

Carnations, if :anything, are holding their own better than roses, but even they are averaging from 50 cents to $1 per hundred lower than last year. There are plenty of car- nations and they are cleaning out well, though the concession in price has to be made to move them. Lilies, both callas and Harrisii, are more plentiful. Valley is selling fairly well. Violets are equal to the demand and moving out at fair j)riees. Sweet peas have dropped in prieo, but they are selling out pretty well at the lower figures. There are plenty of narcissi, both white and yellow. In green goods this market is well supplied. Various Notes. The carnation show at. Indianapolis is attracting a number of the Cincinnati florists. Among those going are J. A. Peterson, C. E. Critchell, William Mur- j)hy, R. Witterstaetter, P. J. Olinger, W. K. Partridge and E. G. Gillett. E; G. Gillett received and accepted an invitation from Secretary Baur, of the Indiana State Florists' Association, to respond on its behalf to the address of •welcome by the mayor of Indianapolis. The called meeting of the Florists' Society, held at Weiland & dinger's Saturday night, was a decided success. A large crowd was present and they enjoyed the good cheer provided by the firm. William Gardener saw that none of the boys went away without getting their full share of the good things. At the business meeting several points of importance were talked over and settled, in part at least. Arrangements were completed for the entertainment of the executive board of the S. A. F. at its meeting here sometime in March. The chairmen of several committees were present and made reports. The mgichin- ery looking toward the entertainment of the S. A. F. here next August is fast being put into condition, and before long everything will be in first-class working shape. There is plenty of energy shown at all of the meetings, and it all points to a successful convention. O, C. Heberling, of Georgetown, Ky., and F. W. Winter, of Charleston, W. Va., were callers; also William Dilger, of De.roit, Mich., on his way home from a business trip south. On his last visit here, about a week ago, he was se- verely hurt by slipping and striking his knee upon an icy pavement. The in- jury was a painful one. C. J. Ohmer. LOUISVILLE, KY. The Market. Business for the last fortnight has been fairly good. Quite a lot of funeral work was turned out, which helped to clean out the glut that had been on the market since the first of the month. Roses are scarce, being off crop. Carna- tions are not quite as plentiful as they were, but are not bringing any better prices. Beauties are equal to the de- mand. Romans, Paper Whites and a few tulips are being used up pretty well in design work. Some good azaleas, prim- roses and cyclamens are to be seen at the stores. Bowling Club. At the last session of the Bowling Club Capt. Will Walker's team took three straights from Capt. Fred L. Schulz 's team. Geo. E. Schulz and Rob- ert Miller were the two highest rollers and will be captains next Monday night. Refreshments will be served and prizes will be rolled for.

Tulips in all the colors are still short, but sin- gle daffodils are in fine shape. Heavy shipments were received and all sold well. They brought a good price and sold on sight. Lilies, also, met with more than an average demand. !PuneraI work called for a quantity of cheap stock. Various Notes. The sudden growth of Buffalo in the northern section has attracted tl^e florists in that direction, and no less than three stores have been opened there within a short space of time. S. O. Anderson is the last to open, having leased a store in the Elmwood section. The store will adjoin his greenhouse, occupying a space in a large building recently erected. Walter Mott called recently, in the in- terests of the Yuess Gardens. The club will meet the first Tuesday of next month, and as important busi- ness is to be gone over, please attend, everybody. Plants are selling exceptionally well now, such as good cyclamens, azaleas, primroses and pots of daffodils. B. A. S. ToPEKA, Kan.— C. E. Hubbard, of SIS Polk street, will build a $1,000 green- house at his home. The Keview does beat all in selling stuff. Every time I advertise in it I get more orders than I can fill. — S. J. Galloway, Eaton, O. Shawnee, Okla. — A modern, well equipped range of greenhouses, compris- ing 20,000 square feet of glass, has been erected here by the Brenner Floral Co. The firm conducts both a wholesale and retail business. C. W. Anderson, also of this place, will go into the trucking busi- ness, and thus the needs of the commu- nity will be supplied in both flowers and vegetables. fW'^-.^yr-' V,;^--;' ••^' w< Januabt 28, 1900.

The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety held its monthly meeting Thursday, January 21. A communication from Prof. W. Newell, of the State Crop Pest Commission, was read, warning the hor- ticulturists to look out for a fish-tailed moth, a very destructive insect which has made its appearance lately and is dangerous to plants and flowers. The finance committee presented its report. An interesting paper on "The Grow- ing of Bulbs in the South" was read by R. Eichling. His long experience on the subject made valuable the cultural direc- tions he gave on the different bulbs best adapted to the south as a commercial crop, the two important points being the selection of the kinds and the treatment most suitable to our climate. Various Note*. J. A. Newsham had some fine spikes of Oneidium splendidum and Cattleya Trianse at the club meeting. On visiting his place a few days ago, we saw the finest collection of orchids to be found in the south. Having standing orders with different collectors, Mr. Newsham is constantly increasing his stock by new importations from different places, some of which he visited a few months ago. Mr. Newsham says that his next trip will extend as far as South America. The Oneidium splendidum, which he has in bloom in quantity, have been bloom- ing two months since they were received. A house of Easter lilies, imported di- rectly from Japan, looks promising, M. Cook's Sons have a large bench of Hydrangea Otaksa in different stages of growth, some ready to open the flowers. B. M. Wichers, of Gretna, says he is progressing nicely on his new place thirty miles from New Orleans. Pend- ing the growing of palms and shade trees, he will gro\^ cucumbers, melons and other vegetables well adapted to the situation. Abele Bros, report a heavy business in truit trees and roses. The newly erected greenhouses at the ^ity park can be seen now to the best advantage. The collection of crotons is Ribbons for Spring Weddings Taffetas, Satin Taffetas, Chiffon, Gauze Big lines of colors, nar- row, medium and wide. These are better ribbons than anyone else can sell you at these prices. We Manufacture Ribbons Samples Free : TREE SILK I 806-808-810 ARCH ST, PHIUDELPHIA gorgeous; the begonias and ferns are perfect. The head gardener, F. Brocker, is busy with annuals grown in the frames outside. The demand for euphorbia bracts is generally reported as having been large this year. Why could we not grow them outside, with a slight protection, and ship them north? M. M. L. TOPEKA, KAN. .1. M. Kessler says that Topeka has had its share of dull spell following the holidays. If it were not f ( r other peo- ple dying during such s] ells it would certainly be the florist's turn. The leg- islature and new administration usually liven up social affairs. Two weeks ago he decorated the Auditorium and capitol for the governor's inaugural. This week he is decorating the governor's mansion for a large reception and he has two or three like events booked for the near future. Last week he had two florist visitors, Mrs. Raymond Miller, of Abilene, Kan., and C. H. Frey, of Lincoln, Neb. Mr. Frey is recognized as one of the most successful florists west of the Mississippi.

Busi- ness is improving. Society has been busy and the demand for funeral work still keeps up. Various Notes. Z. D. Blackistone had the Bonaparte dinner to the President at Kauscher's. The banquet hall was banked with palms, and 100 strings of asparagus were used for a lattice effect in the doorway. Kichmond roses and white lilac were used on the table. Gude Bros. Co. did the dinner given by Rej)resentative Olcott, of New York, to the Vice-President-elect, Mr. Sherman. There were forty covers. Among the decorations were garlands of French silk pink illuminated roses; a silver bowl in the center, running over with roses, and a tall silver candelabrum coming up from the bowl, with garlands of roses. Small glass French baskets, filled with, roses, studded the table. Huge Alice blue ribbon bows were used at each end. The drawing room was done in Beauties. I'alms and ferns were banked through- out the house. The dinner for General Humphrey was done by Marche & Co., using 800 pink carnations and 1,200 violets. The gen- eral scheme throughout the house was pink and green. This firm also had a blanket for an out-of-town funeral. It was composed of 400 Brides and 300 valley, and was very effective. George Cooke used that peculiar yel- low-pink sw<^ pea, grown by Theo. Dietrich, for the luncheon at Senator Dupont 's on Sunday, The entire table was in the Dresden effect. Small & Sons are showing a fine lot of Keiserskroon and Yellow Prince tulips in their window. The Agricultural Department has been experimenting with carnations in solid beds, and claims to have proved this a decided success. J. A. Magruder, of the United States Propagating Gardens, has taken out a patent for a waterproof form, shaped and colored like a calyx, for split carna- tions.

If this proves a success, several more will be added to their delivery department. The coming inauguration will make a lot of work for the florists. The plans for the court of honor and ball, with the street decorations at the capital, will be the most elaborate ever seen here. Geo. C. Shaffer has just put in a mir- ror, measuring 9x12 feet, at the back of his counter, with cut glass electric light brackets. He has also added two rooms at the rear of his store.

The display of flowers and fruits ex- ceeded anything ever before shown at the society's winter session. Exhibits of flowers were made by Henderson, of Omaha; Simanton & Pence, of Falls City; Green, of Fremont, and Dole, of Beatrice. The quality all through was superb and the honors were quite evenly divided. Other matters of particular interest to the greenhouse men were the paper on "Cultivation and Care of (.'annas," by Mr. Simanton, and the election of C. H. Green as president of the society and Ed.

Keep your tulips and hyacinths in a cold cellar or pit until three weeks or a month before Easter. A temperature of 50 degrees at night will bring them into flower within that period.

I have just transferred 1,000 plants into 3 inch pots. How should I treat them to have them bloom quick? I live in West Virginia. G. C. H. October is late to sow any of the seeds named. Even in your latitude cinerarias and primulas will amount to but little, I am afraid. The best you can now do is to allow them to flower in comparatively small pots. The natural blooming time for Chinese primroses is December and January, cinerarias follow- ing February and March. It will not pay to carry along the verbenas. It would be far better to sow seeds in Feb- ruary. These will give you splendid plants to set out in early May. For another year I would advise you to sow the primulas in March and thus secure good flowering plants for Christ- mas sales. Cinerarias do better sown after torrid heat is pa«it. Get them in from the middle to the end of August, us- ing a coldfrarae or bench in a north house for the seed flats. Verbenas are of little value for winter flowering, as there are so many other plants of su- perior merits for this purpose. Cinerarias want a cool house without sunshine, 40 to 45 degrees at night in winter. Primu- las must be broken from direct sunlight, but will do well 5 degrees warmer than the cinerarias. C.

Kendel, Cleveland. Twenty- seventh annual convention, Niagara Falls, Ont., June 22 to 24. 1909. The largest part of the government seed contract, for the stock for the dis- tribution of 1910, was let last week to the Braslan Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal. The 16-page order sheets, listing every variety in the general catalogue, are quite the thing this year; they are in- cluded in a dozen or more of the leading books. Ernest Bitteehoff, of August Bit- terhoff & Son, Berlin, Germany, export- ers of valley pips, is making a tour of the United States. McHutchison & Co. are the American agents. The trade all will be interested in the article in this issue on Amami 0-Shima, its cycas and its lily crops, by Alfred Unger, of the old firm of Louis Boeh- mer, Yokohama. At 117 Fifth avenue, Chicago, the sign of the W. W. Barnard Co. has replaced that of the National Seed Co. The store has been brightened up, restocked and made ready for spring business. The a. L.

Seely being in charge, and rumor has it that seeds are to be added. The Northrup, King & Co. catalogue for 1909 is the twenty-fifth annual edi- tion. It is a Dig book in every way, and with a wholly distinct cover representing the seed buyer in a canoe shooting rapids in which the rocks which beset the seed planter show up prominently. The pages are larger than those of any other general seed catalogue that has reached the Eeview this year. PURE CULTURE SPAWN. F. A. Waugh, of the Massachusetts Experiment Station, compared pure-cul- ture spawn with English and French spawn in mushroom culture during two years under ordinary conditions and found that pure-culture spawn is, as a rule, much better than either English or French spawn, but that there are im- portant points of difference between the commercial pure-culture varieties. These differences consist in color, flavor, form, and, above all else, in productivity. In all of the experiments pure cultures gave larger yields than either the English or French spawn. "It seems to be one of the chief ad- vantages of the new method of growing mushroom spawn from pure culture that it nearly always gives fresher and more vigorous spawn. The product is nearly always more uniform and of higher qual- ity; but, while this advantage is impor- tant, it is not so great as the one already mentioned. ' ' FiNDLAY, O. — E. J.

A case raising a number of points of considerable interest to those engaged in bulbs and kindred lines was decided January 19 in the federal circuit court at Milwaukee, presided over by Judge J. V. Quarles. The suit was brought by Ralph M. Ward & Co., the New York importers, against Currie Bros. Co., of Milwaukee. The dispute revolved around a large con- signment of Japanese Uly bulbs ordered from Ward & Co. by Currie Bros. Co., which the latter claimed reached Milwau- kee too late, and further, did not con- form to the quality called for by the contract of sale. It was on these grounds that Currie Bros. Co. based its refusal to pay for the bulbs, although it accepted and used a part of them. When suit was R0UTZ4HN SEED CO , Arroyo Grande, Cal.

DREER, Philadelphia, Pa. are a gray powder which is scattered over the soil and then spaded in deeply, getting the powder well down below the surface of the soil. The action of the moisture in the soil upon the powder causes it to throw off a gas, or vapor, which thoroughly penetrates the soil, killing all insects, worms, grubs, etc., and all hibernating pests, without the slightest injury to the plants. Entomologists in the United States are looking into the merits of these chemicals and, if they prove to be as eflBcient as claimed by the originators, there will no doubt be a market for much of those products on this side, as many growers are troubled by the same under- ground pests. The English metliod is not expensive and the sale of the prod- ucts is said to have reached enormous proportions. H. G. IMPORTS.

It has been forced in 90 days and, with proper care, the bulb is in even better condition for a second forcing. In the garden it will give you bloom in July and August, when choice flowers are at a premium. This lily bulb is not exhausted by one season's bloom, but, like the gladiolus bulb, can be of use year aft«r year. The bulbs we offer have been grown in America one summer and are not to be compared with freshly imported stock, which is usually very small and shriveled.

Schmidt, in Erfurt, who showed a great interest in this article and who obtaiiuMl it from Louis Boehmer, Yoko- hama, more than nineteen years ago, had me visit Jajjan as representative of Louis Boehmer, for the special purpose of in- teresting myself in the cycas plants. Therefore, in the winter of 1889 I vis- ited this island for the first time, since which time I have paid it three more vis- its, each time sending large quantities of cycas plants to Schmidt at Erfurt. How th<: Market Was Stocked. Even though the price of this article was reduced on account of the large shipments to Germany, the prices of those raised in greenhouses were still too high to give them to the general public. On account of this fact they got the idea of cutting off the leaves at 0-Shima, dry- ing and pressing them and sending them to Germany, where they were again col- ored, so as to resemble the original. They had an enormous sale in Germany as well as other countries, being shipped from German factories. The height of the sale of the plants was reached when the Ger- man government put a duty of 250 marks on 100 kilograms (equal to $50 on 220 pounds). It was, therefore, of im- ])ortance that the people interested in that industry should get as many of the STOCK SEED For Winter Bloomintr. Our strain of Doable BranchinK Stocks is exceptionally true.

A few people accumulated small fortunes through this industry. On account of the European importers overbidding each other, the Japanese shippers took advantage of the situa- tion and prices went up about 300 per cent. The natural consequence was that millions of cycas leaves got through be- fore the tariff act took effect, so that the want in (iermany was supplied for several years. The inhabitants of Amami O-Shima, who thought that this would keep up, found that there was sud- denly an end to it. The big presses and sheds which were built for that pur- pose are idle, have been for several years, and will remain so until the trade on this article picks up again. Lilies on Amami O-Shima.

They are shipped under three classes, namely: Lilium longiflorum eximium, L. longiflorum multiflorum, and L. longi- florum giganteum. Through overculture, and on account of carelessness, a disease sprung up among the first two types, which caused the purchasers nmch annoyance, time and money. Almost fifty per cent of the bulbs went to loss through this disease, as they could not bring the plants to bloom, and we exporters naturally re- ceived lots of complaints. For years we tried to overcome this and planted in different places, but as the disease lay in the bulbs, it was of no avail until finally the government, as well as the people, came to the conclusion to gather the bulbs in their original home, where they grew wild on the hills, and plant them in neighboring lands on good soil. 1 can assure you that the results were very satisfactory.

Business was quiet last week, as com- pared with the previous week. There is little doing in the social line, and we could stand a little more funeral work. Stock on the market is good. Eoses, which have been scarce lately, are com- ing in more plentifully, with the outlook for a still better crop in a week or two. There is a good supply of carnations ar- riving several times daily and meeting with a fairly good demand. Bulbous stock is coming in larger quantities as the season advances. So far we have tulips, jonquils, Romans and narcissi. Various Notes. While in Cincinnati recently, "William Dilger had a mishap which will interfere with his getting about for some time. He fell and injured his knee in such a way that he has been compelled to keep it in a plaster cast. John Bregger, of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, has been laid up for some time with the grippe.

The first part of the month was cold, so that trade suffered. The last few days have been wet and sloppy, so that shoppers were not out. Added to this must be noted the entire absence of nearly all society functions, and we have some reasons for light trade.

The meeting of the State Florists' As- sociation was held in the new hall, 510 Snelling avenue, January 19. The at- tendance was fairly good. The enter- tainment committee reported arrange- ments for a dance and card party to be given in U. C. T. hall February 15. A grand, good time is assured to all and every one in the trade is expected to be present. The premium list for the state fair was adopted as reported and the commit- tee instructed to present it to the board of managers with the request that they accept it and also appoint a special superintendent for the floricultural divi- sion. O. J. Olson read an interesting paper on "The Retailers' Profit in Flowers," which was dirrcussed and commended by several. As visitors we had Arnold Eingier and Alex Henderson, salesmen for Chicago seed houses, and Mr. Jansen, of Keur & Sons, Hillegom, Holland. The executive committee was asked to report at the next meeting on the ad- visability of holding a flower show in the Twin Cities next fall. The judges awarded prizes as follows: Certificates of merit to Carl Haugen, for double cyclamen scoring 85 points; to Aug. Swanson, for Lilac Marie Le- gray scoring 80 points; to Louis Boeglin, for Primula Sinensis scoring 85 points; to E, Nagel & Son, on Winsor carna- tions scoring 85 points.

THE VEGETABLE FORCER. "Whoever takes up vegetable forc- ing," said William Turner, of Oceanic, N. J., in an address he made at Boston, ' ' must have love for the work and should watch the developments of the different crops, knowing when to feed and when not to. The first thing to be considered along those lines — and all important — is the house or houses best adapted for the work, that is for producing vegetables through the winter months. Twenty or twenty-five years ago the average house at our disposal was anywhere from ten to twenty feet in width, in fact anything wider was looked upon with disfavor. But experience has taught us in recent years that a house anywhere from twen- ty-five to fifty feet in width is to be highly recommended, according to the aemands. Good results may be had whether the house runs north and south or east and west. My preference would be east and west, as one gets more benefit from the sun during the short days. One thing should be borne in mind; that is, for best results build as light a house as possible, so that there will be no shade to speak of in the house. In regard to heating, either steam or hot water is successful, although hot water is to be preferred. Lettuce, cauliflower, and radishes may be grown successfully in the same house, while cucumbers, toma- toes, beans, etc., require a warmer at- mosphere.

It is just the right size and shape. It is the finest all-around tomato ever introduced. It holds its size clear to the end of the season better than any tomato I have ever seen.

I claim there can be no hard and fast lines laid down in regard to uow much fertilizer a certain crop should receive for the best results. My theory has always been that each grower in dif- ferent localities and with different soils, by studying the condition of his grow- ing crops is the best judge as to how much food will be of benefit."

They were formerly used only in pickling time, in the fall, and little use was made of them except for pickling, etc., but now they are used in a great many ways in hotels, clubs and some of the wealthier private houses. Good hothouse peppers sell for 30 cents to 50 cents per dozen in winter. They /, ■: ' ■- ^ /- i'^:g{^-}^--- ' t.( ';-.:. ,' 72 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Jandaet 28, 1909. are rather difficult to grow in the short- est days, but later are a comparatively easy crop. It takes over three months to get a crop to bearing from the time seed is planted, but they do not need to occupy the house for more than about six weeks from the time they are benched until they are bearing. Their Culture. The seed should be planted in flats and transplanted as soon as well up, placing them about two and one-half inches apart in other flats or on a bench. After they get to be about three or four inches tall they should be potted into 4-inch pots and kept there until ready to plant out. When young the plants require good care and should not be overwatered. They should have a fairly good soil, new, clean and well drained. When placed in the benches they should be planted about fourteen inches apart in the rows. An ordinary rose or car- nation bench, about four feet wide, will take two rows nicely, placing them about ten inches from the edges of the bench. A 6-foot bench will take three rows. They are not very particular about soil. A good, ordinary greenhouse soil will grow them well. There are few insects that attack pep- pers. They like a night temperature of about 60 to 63 degrees, and about 15 degrees higher on bright days. A little ventilation should be given each day when the thermometer gets up around 70 degrees. The longer the ventilation is kept on the better, if the temperature is right and no draughts wave the foliage. Euby King and Bull Nose are about as good as any for inside use. H. G. NURSERY NEWS.

If seeds of trees have been sown in the fall and no protection in the shape of manure or leaves has yet been given them, no more time should be lost in put- ting some such covering over the ground. It is not wise to prune trees or shrubs whUe the wood is frozen, but on mild days this work should be pushed ahead. Grape vines should be trimmed now, rather than wait until spring, when bleed- ing is probable.

The Engelmanni spruce, which is found growing on the high mountain slopes from British Columbia to New Mexico, makes a serviceable pulp wood. Tliis spruce has not been considered a valuable lumber tree and has only been used for lack of better material. Persons intending to plant Kalmia latifolia should not do so in very sunny situations, or before many weeks the plants will have a scorched appearanoo. This is especially true with regard to plants brought from the woods. Plants that have been grown in nurseries will naturally succeed better in every way. HARDY SHRUBS FOR CUTTING.

In flowering plants ivy-leaved gera- niums, Abutilon vexillarium, also called A. megapotamicum, with variegated foli- age, Abutilon Eclipse and petunias are all good. The trailing blue Lobelia gra- cilis would not do well in your climate. In foliage plants variegated vinca is al- ways reliable. Asparagus Sprengeri is also good; in slight shade it will keep a darker color. German ivy, cinnamon vine and English ivy may all be used. In well shaded places nothing succeeds bet- ter than the various nephrolepis, of which the old Boston fern is still one of the best. Of course, all basket plants re- quire an abundant water supply, and stimulants should be added when the earth is well filled with roots. C. W. WoBUEN, Mass. — A dog chased a deer into James S.

MAKING TILES FOR BENCHES. One of the important details in mak- ing tiles for greenhouse benches is the mixing of the clay to secure the proper porosity, for the drainage does not all depend upon the cracks between the tiles, as many suppose. A party of Cleveland florists who recently visited the plant of the Camp Conduit Co., to see th,e process of making tiles, were surprised at the process through which the clay is put before it reaches the molding stage. The clay is hoisted from the clay bank to the clay room, thirty-five feet from the ground. The clay is placed on a mov- ing belt, which carries it to a large dry pan. Here it is ground by two large muUers and passes through a fine screen- plate. It is then conveyed to the top of the clay elevator shaft and is passed over a wire screen, removing all of the large particles which have passed through the dry pan. The screened clay then passes into a large hopper, from which it is delivered into two 8-foot wet pans, which are on the ground floor of the fac- tory. Here it is thoroughly mixed and sufficient water is added for the proper tempering of the clay. It is then deliv- ered onto a roller belt and is taken to the second floor and deposited in a large press feeder. The press feeder is equipped with a clutch and belt from which the press cylinder is filled. The press upon which the tile benches •are made consists of a 44-inch steam cylinder with a clay cylinder at each end. There is a die for each style of piece required. These dies are bolted to the ends of the press. The steam is applied and the plunger in the clay cylin- der forces the clay out through the die to a cutting-box. Here the pieces are cut off the proper length, allowing for shrinkage in drying and burning. They are then placed on slatted dry-house cars and are taken to the dry house. They are left there ^several days, being dried by steam. The tile are then delivered to the kilns, which hold about seventy tons of material each. The lower course in the kiln is placed on what is called a set ring. They are not set over three or four courses high, depending on the kind of material. It requires from four to five days to burn off a kiln, using the best grade of Pittsburg coal. After the kiln is burned off it requires about two days to cool off sufficiently to draw the kiln, when the tile are ready for ship- ment.

Enchantress, from which it is a seedling. DBsoriptton:— The color of Mrs. Chas. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. 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 stiffness that gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stifler, it keeps and 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 habit is ideal: closely resembles Enchant- ress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the fleld or inside all summer. Likes a temperature of 60 to 52. The stem is 24 inches and over, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet sent out and is bound to surpass tbe old variety, Enchantress. Beautiful scarlet-crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. Tbe size of the flower is 3 to 3^ 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 62. Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 30 inches, and the first crop is very stiflt, but holds up tbe flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure to give satisfaction and flnd a place among the standards. The above varieties, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate.

For the benefit of my brother florists, I wish to ofifer a bit of information re- garding an early variety of aster which I tried last season, called Dawn of Day, I found the variety catalogued by W. W. Bawson & Co., of Boston, Mass., who claimed for it the earliest record given to any variety of aster — that it would bloom by June 15. So I thought I would see what could be done with it. I sowed my seed by February 15 and flatted the plants as soon as possible. I also potted a few, which proved still earlier in blooming. I had elegant blooms to cut by early May, and, according to my records, I had cut asters to tie up for funeral work by May 9, 1908. At Decoration day, 1908, I had elegant asters to cut, which sold well. By planting this strain out in a good coldframe as early as the frame can be prepared, one could have a bed full for Decoration day that would bring in many long sought dollars. The blooms are about the size of Boston Market and perfect in shape, with stems eighteen to twenty inches long. "With good treat- ment and plenty of feed, the Dawn of Day aster is a prize which never in my experience has been equaled or even heard of. I shall grow more of them this sea- son, as they come in when it is hard to get blooms of anything except roses and carnations. The Dawn of Day needs to be grown quite near the glass in its young stage, as its early habit of growth causes it to want to go into a single flower stem if left on too low a bench. Anyone trying this strain of aster will never regret it. The flowers are pure white and the plants keep blooming a long time. I hope anyone who wants early asters will try this variety. G, J. Benedict, NAME OF PLANT. Please give me the name of the en- closed plant. I find it a remarkably quick grower and its peculiar nutmeg aroma is much appreciated here. Would it answer well for vases and window boxes during the. summer? P. E, B, The name of the plant is Nepeta Glechoma variegata. This makes a use- ful carpet bedding plant and can also be used for baskets and vases. It suc- ceeds best, however, in the open sun. C. W.

The Market Business has kept up exceptionally well for the last two weeks, with plenty of funeral work and a good number of weddings and banquets. The cloudy weather we have been hav- ing, with the sudden change to summer temperature, has made stock somewhat soft. Sunday, January 24, was like a spring day and people were out without their overcoats and wraps. Koses are coming in well, but they have been used f up closely from day to day, and at times there were few to be had at any price. Carnations have been more plentiful, but the demand for them cleans them up daily, so there has been no surplus at any time. Quite a few carnations are coming split and the growers lay it to the cloudy and change- able weather we have been having. Tulips are coming in nicely now and find ready sales. Paper Whites have had a big run and loads of them have been used up, keeping them down so that there has been no glut on the market. Sweet peas and violets are coming well and find ready sales. The demand for callas and Harrisii has been about equal to the supply. Pot plants have been selling well, es- pecially azaleas, cyclamens and La Reine begonias. Stock at the different houses is look- ing fine for Easter, and by the outlook there will be plenty of it. Variotu Notes. The Franklin Park Floral Co. reports business good, and also reports that A.

I have a greenhouse 23x43 feet and twelve feet to the ridge. It is located in Illinois. I use a Wilks No. 20 hot water boiler. I have one 3 -inch flow pipe from the boiler and ten 2-inch returns, all connected with one 2-inch return run- ning into the boiler. The length of the hot water pipes in the greenhouse is forty feet. They are under the benches. The boiler is four feet underground and four feet lower than the returns. My expansion tank is thirteen feet higher than the boiler and three feet higher than the highest hot water point. In cold weather I can only hold the heat in my greenhouse to about 52 de- grees above zero. I want to add one more 2 -inch return into the boiler, or I could add two more if needed. Would I thus have better service from my hot water pipes? Where is my trouble! I am a beginner and did my own plumb- ing, as we had no plumber here. E. T. O. Tour trouble is mainly inadequate radiation. If you had fifteen 2-inch re- turns you would have about the right amount of radiation for roses. Twelve pipes will answer for carnations and lettuce. Your plan seems to be all right, but you do not say that the expansion tank is connected to the main return close to the boiler. It should be, and should be elevated six to ten feet more than at present. It would be better if the return were the same size as the flow for hot water. L. C. C. PIPING IN OHIO.

If I were to use steam, I should determine the location of a central heating plant for the entire range to be heated from it. I should then carry a riser from the boiler plant to the one house to be built, and run one 3-inch riser under the ridge to sup- ply heat to fourteen 1^4 -inch returns, arranged in manifolds along the side walls and upon the purlin supports. Li. C. C. CONNECTING EXPANSION TANKS. In the Keview of January 14, A. B. E. asks why it is usually recommended to connect the expansion tank to the main return pipe near the boiler, rather than to the main flow at the high point. The reason given is that when connected to the top pipe, the hottest water is driven into the tank in place of being forced through the system. Now, according to our experience, no greater fallacy can be set up than this. That some hot water may get into the expansion where the connection is made in the flow pipe, we admit, but that it interferes with the circulation in the least is a mistaken idea. The great ad- vantage in top connection over bottom connection is the fact of its acting as an escape for any steam that may form during hard firing, and if connec- tion in this way is made with i^-inch or %-inch pipe, no influence whatever will be noticed in the circulation, except per- haps to promote it. The writer well remembers some years ago coming into possession of a small range of glass heated by hot water from one boiler, put in by the leading city steam fitter. The expansion tank was well elevated and connected to the main return near the boiler, the main flow pipe being provided with the regulation air cock at the high point. The result was that unless this air cock was opened at short intervals during heavy firing, steam would gather at that point and back the water out through the ex- pansion tank, so that when the fire went below this point there would not be sufScient water in the system to com- plete circulation. A remedy was sought, and to that end the connection of the tank was changed from the return to the flow pipe, with the result that no better heating system could be desired. No matter how hard we fired, the circu- lation was smooth and perfect, and we feel safe in saying that there are men today who are having trouble with their heating plant through no other cause than this same theory of connecting the expansion tank to the return pipe near the bottom of the boiler. Those who practice this theory have everything to lose and nothing to gain. B. G. MiLFORD. FLOW PIPES TOO LARGE. We intend to build a house 30x135 feet, here in central Indiana. We wish to have two 3-inch flows, one running under each gutter, using twelve 2-inch returns, six for each flow. Will this maintain a temperature of 45 degrees, with an outside temperature of 10 de- grees below zero! We will use hot water heat. We have two houses heated with over- head flows which are twelve feet above the boiler at the highest point. In the proposed house the flows will only be five feet above the boiler at the highest point. Will you kindly tell us if this 92 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 28, 1909.

Your plan seems to be all right, but you do not say that the expansion tank is connected to the main return close to the boiler. It should be, and should be elevated six to ten feet more than at present. It would be better if the return were the same size as the flow for hot water. L. C. C. PIPING IN OHIO.

L. C. C. CONNECTING EXPANSION TANKS. In the Eeview of January 14, A. B. R. asks why it is usually recommended to connect the expansion tank to the main return pipe near the boiler, rather than to the main flow at the high point. The reason given is that when connected to the top pipe, the hottest water is driven into the tank in place of being forced through the system, Now, according to our experience, no greater fallacy can be set up than this. That some hot water may get into the expansion where the connection is made in the flow pipe, we admit, but that it interferes with the circulation in the least is a mistaken idea. The great ad- vantage in top connection over bottom connection is the fact of its acting as an escape for any steam that may form during hard firing, and if connec- tion in this way is made with i/>,-iiich or %-inch pipe, no influence whatever will be noticed in the circulation, except per- haps to promote it. The writer well remembers sonic years ago coming into possession of a small range of glass heated by hot water from one boiler, put in by the leading city steam fitter. The expansion tank was well elevated and connected to the main return near the boiler, the main flow pipe being provided with the regulation air cock at the high point. The result was that unless this air cock was opened at short intervals during heavy firing, steam would gather at that point and back the water out through the ex- pansion tank, so that when the fire went below this point there would not be sufiicient water in the system to com- plete circulation. A remedy was sought, and to that end the connection of the tank was changed from the return to the flow pipe, with the result that no better heating system could be desired. No matter how hard we fired, the circu- lation was smooth and perfect, and we feel safe in saying that there are men today who are having trouble with their heating plant through no other cause than this same theory of connecting the expansion tank to the return pipe near the bottom of the boiler. Those who practice this theory have everything to lose and nothing to gain. R. G. MiLFORD. FLOW PIPES TOO LARGE. We intend to build a house 30x135 feet, here in central Indiana. We wish to have two 3-inch flows, one running under each gutter, using twelve 2-inch returns, six for each flow. Will this maintain a temperature of 45 degrees, with an outside temperature of 10 de- grees below zero? W'e will use hot water heat. We have two houses heated with over- head flows which are twelve feet above the boiler at the highest point. In the proposed house the flows will only be five feet above the boiler at the highest point.

The piping should be suflScient to maintain a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees during severe weather. The plan, as I understand it, should work satisfac- torily, with the pipes carefully graded.

Mr. Graham is likewise a successful rose grower, and among the varieties dear to his heart is the Wellesley, which he intends growing in larger quantity next season. A hobo, claiming to be a brother florist from Salamanca, called on Mr. Graham a few days ago, telling a hard-luck story of losing a railroad ticket and request- ing a small loan. Like a true Samaritan, Mr. Graham not only advanced the small loan, but invited him also to dinner. From the few comments on the stock made by the pseudo-florist, while going through the greenhouses after the re- past, Mr. Graham concluded that the fel- low knew no more about flowers than a two-year-old about finance, and accord- ingly began an investigation. Sure enough, the fellow proved to be a swin- dler, who has worked several business men in a similar manner. A thirty days' sentence to jail was the reward for his efforts.

Baur, the well-known Carnation expert, writes: " If I had a carnation house ever so badly infested by Greenfly or Thrips, I would spray with To*Bak-Ine Liquid not stronger than three teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water, and six gallons of this solution would spray a house 25x100 feet thoroughly. I would rather spray with this strength every day for a few days than to make it stronger. Ordinarily one spraying in two days is enough for the first week, and thereafter once or possibly twice each week will be sufficient. "I am satisfied that spraying is most effective in destroying these pests, as well as the least harmful to the plants or blooms. "In order to derive the most benefit from the use of To-Bak-Ine, it should be used regularly throughout the season, as a preventive. We begin to spray our carnations with it regularly once each week as soon as they are well-established on the beds in the houses, about September 1 (or sooner if any insects show themselves), and we find that this will keep away Aphis, Thrips, and in addition to intelligent syringing it will keep down Red Spider. The number of blooms usually lost through the ravages of these pests can be reduced to a minimum by the use of To-Bak-Ine. These blooms saved will easily pay for the cost of spraying and have a good balance over. It is surprising how many blooms are discarded by growers, which could have been saved by the use of this preparation; when you figure them at 3c to 5c each during midwinter it runs up into money quickly. "No grower can afiford to be without this preparation and it will take merely a fair trial to convince anyone of its value. When I begin on To-Bak*Ine I find it hard to stop. I feel that I could not possibly say too much in its favor, especially as a remedy for Aphis and Thrips."— Signed, A. F. J. BAUR.

Mr. Hammond. Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiries regarding Grape Dust, would say that we use it solely on Roses, Carnations and Chrysanthemums. As a Fungicide we have not found anything to equal It; it is simple and easily applied. We close down the ventilators and fill the house with dust blown through the bellows; when the dust has settled down we ventilate again, putting on a little air as required. We have been using your Grape Dust with good results for the last 14 years. Yours truly, James Bi>air. Mention The Review when you write. WAYSIDE NOTES. Y. Zobel, of Albany, speaks highly of the new Helianthus Cathcartii, which he saw wlion visiting Germany last fall. It is free flowering and its bright red color makes it a valuable addition to the herbaceous perennials. Mr. Zobel expects to retire from business after the spring sales are over, having interests on the other side. He has a prospective purchaser for his place. Pred A. Danker, of Albany, ex- pected to be at the carnation convention as a representative of the Florists' Club. There was some talk of a large delega- tion going, the club being in a flourish- ing condition, but the busy work at the capital prevented it. Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, N. Y., says Golden Glow is a money-maker and the best early yellow chrysanthemum grown in the east. F. A. Danker had a big run on this variety at Albany and will grow a house for next season. Mr. Goldring has a seedling carnation, Pros- perity X Enchantress, that is fine. He expected to have an exhibit at the con- vention. T. J. Totten, of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., says the demand for the last season was very light, owing to the enforcing of the Hughes law, but he believes that the coming season will bring back pros- perity. Henry Schrade. of Saratoga Springs, had a fine lot of his seedling yellow car- nation for exhibition at Indianapolis and expected it would take high honors in its class. A. J. Binley, of Glens Falls, X. Y., has a choice strain of crimson primrose as the result of years of careful selec- tion. Blooming at Christmas, there is a big sale for it. He has plans for re- building part of the place after spring business is over. H. L. Crandell, of Glens Falls, was busy with a large order for a fiftieth anniversary wedding decoration. As he says, this occurrence being rather rare, the job must be done right. J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., is living the strenuous life, with two stores and two glass establishments, all in different locations, and is planning concentration. George Hatcher was mak- ing a beautiful floral wreath at the time of my visit, composed of violets, cattleyas and valley. They do a large country trade. A. J. Hilton, of Amsterdam, says busi- ness was never better. He was packing his grip for the convention. M.

Baur, the well-known Carnation expert, writes: carnation house ever so badly infested by Greenfly or Thrips, I would To-Bak-Ine Liquid not stronger than three teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water, and six gallons of this solution would spray a house 25x100 feet thoroughly. I would rather spray with this strength every day for a few days than to make it stronger. Ordinarily one spraying in two days is enough for the first week, and thereafter once or possibly twice each week will be sufficient. "I am satisfied that spraying is most effective in destroying these pests, as well as the least harmful to the plants or blooms. "In order to derive the most benefit from the use of To-Bak-Ine, it should be used regularly throughout the season, as a preventive. We begin to spray our carnations with it regularly once each week as soon as they are well-established on the beds in the houses, about September 1 (or sooner if any insects show themselves), and we find that this will keep away Aphis, Thrips, and in addition to intelUgent syringing it will keep down Red Spider. The number of blooms usually lost through the ravages of these pests can be reduced to a minimum by the use of To-Bak-Ine. These blooms saved will easily pay for the cost of spraying and have a good balance over. It is surprising how many blooms are discarded by growers, which ct»uld have been saved by the use of this preparation; when you figure them at 3c to 5c each during midwinter it runs up into money quickly. "No grower can afford to be without this preparation and it will take merely a fair trial to convince anyone of its value. When I begin on To-Bak-Ine I find it hard to stop. I feel that I could not possibly say too much in its favor, especially as a remedy for Aphis and Thrips." — Signed, A. F. J. BAUR.

There is no greenhouse here, and there is no place where green- house products can be had nearer than Springfield, Mo., and Carthage, Mo. A great many flowers are shipped liere, but their use would be much greater if it were not for the time and trouble neces- sary to get them. Also, one of the local provision houses is selling each week $50 worth of lettuce and other green- house vegetables grown in Missouri. Eu- reka Springs has 5,000 population and is a resort town. There are a number of first-class hotels and many thousands of visitors come here each year. .Tames Gurney, of Tower Grove park, St. Louis, who is widely known among the florists, recently told F. S.

At present it is a beau- tiful type of Cattleya Trianae alba and a distinct vanda, with the growth of V. Cffirulea, but the flower is pure white with the exception of the lip, which is a deep blue. Frank Baker, of Utica, N, Y., is go- ing more extensively into cut flowers, the demand being greater than the sup- ply. Thomas Barson, of Johnstown, N. Y., has removed all the houses from his old location and has an up-to-date plant in the best section of the town. George Main, of Gloversville, N. Y., is interested in Arcadia. It is located near Washington, D. C. He has pur- chased a lot and intends spending the rest of his days there, just as soon as he finds a purchaser for his place.

QARNATIONS I HAVE KNOWN AND THEIR ELEVATING INFLUENCE BY SARAH A. HILL I IROTHEB Toastmaster and Dear Friends: — I have taken my pen in hand to write you a few lines because I can express what I have in mind much better than in attempting an after-dinner speech, for, unlike the majority of my sex, I happen not to be eloquent of tongue. I recognize many faces present as those of old and tried friends, but if I could for a moment see your signatures I should know many more of you inti- mately, for the written name at once brings up a picture of your letters, and I can say without boasting that few women, the countrj'^ over, have as many delightful gentleman correspondents as yours truly. Now that the machine has taken the place of the steel pen, I am seldom at a loss to arrive at the meaning of my cor- respondents, but there have been times in the past when I hardly knew whether I was deciphering an ardent declaration of admiration, or only a very warm can- cellation of an order for a belated lot of the reigning novelty in carnations. La Purite and Its FoUowen. It is never safe for an unmarried woman to let her memory reach too far back into the past, but I can remember wlien old La Purite was our mainstay; I remember when Mile. Carle threw up its first snow white flower and we held our breath over its purity of color and its clear-cut form, but even the most daring catalogue liar could not claim freedom of bloom for either of these beautiful old pathfinders, nor for But- tercup or Chester Pride, Portia or Grace Wilder, which were added as the years went by, and if there had been only carnations on our benches I doubt if we should have had butter on our bread, for the bread-and-butter carnation had as yet no existence. In '88, with Tidal Wave, the tide be- gan to turn, and Father Dorner soon after gave us a delightful set of seed- lings and these, with Lizzie McGowan and Daybreak, set an entirely new pace, and a carnation, from being a spoiled beauty for admiration only, began to be questioned as to its right to occupy space and as to its returns in hard dollars and cents per square foot; the heavy boot of sordid commercialism had kicked aside the old-time beauties, and the husky varieties with sleeves rolled up, stems like steel, calyxes like gutta-percha, petals like leather, and a noise like money, came rustling on the stage — and many a song and dance they have given us. The Elevating: Influence. Visitors who go about a greenhouse with the proprietor seldom fail to re- mark upon the elevating influence of flowers. I have never known a florist yet who failed to acquiesce; he will [At the banquet given In honor of the Amer- ican Carnation Society at Indianapolis January 2&, llie gem of the evening was the response hy Miss mil. I stretch his neck in his collar, ele- vate his shoulders, and really feel higher up both mentally and morally as the suggestion is once more made to him. But I have seen the most enthusiastic visitor put to flight from the most mag- nificent carnation range by a very de- pressed looking section hand who might be scattering bone meal or other dainty tidbit for Lady Carnation's mid-week meal. And, further, I have known car- nations that have dragged their owners down very near to the bottomless pit, and even the best of varieties at times have tried the souls of their growers till no modern tongue contained sufficiently lurid language to express their feelings. That "Jubiny.'* I once made the acquaintance of a glorious red carnation, sweet as winds from Araby, a stem like whalebone, eight and ten blooms to the plant, a blaze of color, and every florist wanted it by the 500 or 1,000, but the rust "swept down like the wolf on the fold" and de- voured every green leaf, and I still have the vision of our good German grower, with wildly waving arms over his grass- less benches, exclaiming: "That Jubilly, he was the very teufel. " What else he may have said when no ladies were pres- ent I never dared inquire. A prominent firm in Massachusetts, who had a nice order for "Jubilly" placed with us, were extremely curious to know why they were failing to receive their cuttings, and made inquiry quite forcibly weekly — and faintly each week we replied. I am glad that I am ad- dressing a company of florists, every one of whom has disseminated, or has been upon the point of disseminating, a new carnation, for you know exactly what I am talking about, and how often you went into a perspiration before the sea- son closed, and neither did you need a rose temperature to make your pores open. Turn About. Well, some four years after Jubilee this same prominent Massachusetts firm sent out a seedling, Mrs. Thomas E. L., I believe. We gave it a good write-up in our catalogue: "Size enormous, stems stiff, free in growth, profuse in bloom, of healthy constitution, never bursts its calyx, everything has been claimed for it and our opinion is that it will justify the claim ! ' ' And it did, very nearly, but I believe it was late in May before our orders were filled, and so despicable is feminine human nature that I con- fess to pure enjoyment in going to our file and copying verbatim several letters addressed to us four years previously, only substituting the name Mrs. Thomas E. L. for Jubilee, asking why we were not receiving those cuttings promised us with such absolute certainty for early delivery in the January past. And I think that the secretary of the dissem- inating company must have duplicated our replies of even date, for I recognized the same tone of chastened humility that had characterized our own. Mn. Nebon's Influence. I never felt my sympathies more deep- ly stirred than in the case of a certain magnificent pink variety, grown not a thousand miles away from this city, which seemed to have every necessary qualification for success, but it later de- veloped that the cuttings would not root. Now, a JJerfect carnation, like the great American mortgage lifter, must "Boot hog, or die ! " We waited and waited for those cuttings; so did the rest of you; each time we were told that the last batch had failed to root. Qne grower was sure the plants were grown too warm; another, that it was too miich bottom heat in the propagating house; a third, that they needed a Bordeaux spray. A happy thought struck our firhi: We would ask for unrooted cuttiujgs, would take Ihem over to Eichmond and, under our perfect conditions, we would root them in three weeks and complete our orders. Our disseminating friend was very accommodating and sent us baskets of the loveliest tips imaginable, but with every appliance known to mod- ern carnation culture, we failed to root over ten per cent. It would not have been safe for you to talk to the owner of "Mrs. Nelson that year on the elevating influence of flowers. Nothing short of diabolism itself could have been more tantalizing than the antics of that magnificent beauty. Hill's Hope vs. Lemon's Choice. Our firm has at different times tested for their owners a number of aspirants for favor, with varying success. It's a risky thing to do; if they fail to make good, the owner will always have a doubt in his mind as to whether all the conditions were just right to bring out their good points, and the gentleman who does the testing, and his grower, will have arguments about wasted space — and the nice discrimination needed in endorsing a novelty. Less than a decade ago, your toastmaster went down into the east to take a last look at a fine white seedling which we were to test, and if satisfactory to help disseminate. It showed up so fine down in its eastern home that he could hardly wait to get the stock planted on his own place. In the meantime, our Mr. Lemon had gone up into the northwest on a similar errand with regard to a gorgeous pink. On his return he gave the usual wheatfield de- scription, "buds and blooms knocking their heads together — and such heads — on such stems ! " E, G. H. wanted a south bench to test his white beauty and F. H. L. insisted on a southern exposure for his glorified pink. They each had a 200-foot bench facing south in the best 400-foot house on the place. When the date of the annual meeting of this society came around, where the white beauty and the glorified pink were to take your breath away, E. G. H.'s south bench was covered with a dense growth of pale green carnation grass, which would have required a scythe to cut it, and not a flower in sight. F. H. L. 's south bench looked like a patch of seedling onions in very early spring, with an occasional petal of pink thrown in for cheer. The two gentlemen never went together to inspect the two benches. The senior member might be seen gazing with a pained expression at Lemon's choice, but carefully avoiding a glance at his own eastern beauty; an hour later, v» The Weekly Florists' Review. •PEBRUAnY 4, 1909. m ^ A Few of the Members of the American Carnation Society, Photogr * ' Brer.

Then there was AdonLs, and here words fail me for the present^:, but . Some day, when Richard W^itterstaetter and Robert Craig and the secretary of the E. 6. Hill Co. have all_ reached the age limit, and have leisure to take up hter- ature, we are going to c ollaborate a biog- raphy and romance of tz;he young Adonis, thp most ravishing scarHet carnation ever shown to human ^gaze. Behold, a bench of it in full Ui|bm, he^ids erect, a color far beyond words to desscribe! You can see the ecstasy in the faces of Messrs. Craig, Hill and Witte^rstaetter as they devoured its dazzling t)eauty. . This is not yet a mat-ter of ancient his- tory, and still it was before the days when the florist had ^e^rown sadly wise and had learned to ba -lance a carnation stem on his index fing- er as the juggler does his pole, to test its stiffness ; before he had learned to draw- the flower slowly through his closed hamd and watch the petals spring back tco the horizontal; before he had learned to slap the bloom upon the table and wsitch the resisting power of the texture. Adonis helped to teach the trade this last:; trick, and so was not wholly lost in the economy of carna- tion culture. The Price of iPropess, Since Adonis there bnave been others; they are current history and still in mind. Father Dorner and :^klr. Peter Fisher have been the means of giving us the most popular carnatio^ns and the best wage earners in the family. "We can gaze long and fondly upon "W'hite Per- fection and Enchantres:^, as a father does upon a good child, and say, ' ' They have never given me an anxious moment." Oh ! but the waste of it all, the squan- dering of hard-earned dollars, you may say; but progress alw^ays costs in any line of trade or life, and the expenditure of money is the smallest item; the thing that really counts is endeavor and pa- tient perseverance, and absolute honesty, and this is as true in commerce as in manufacturing or in carnation culture. And flowers do have an elevating influ- ence on their growers, if the soil is mixed with good will for one's fellows and faith in a kindly Providence that sends the needed rain and sunshine and finally gives the increase. r .^•^^♦^^♦^^•^v jsvayKy ^<<^^fe^•fef»>•^yf»>^fef»>•fef»>•^yr»>•fe»)^fe^ CONVENTION ^ AFTERMATH SS:SK:S3CSS3SCg3CSK:SK^52g3 'fer»>'fe»>-'yr»>-fer»>-fe:»>-fer»>-fer»>'fer»>' J THE BANQUET. The Indiana State Florists' Associa- tion set out to banquet the American Car- nation Society January 28 in irreproach- able style, and the only slip in the ar- rangements was not their fault — two or three to whom toasts had been assigned failed to attend. But the substitutes proved satisfactory. The handsome club house secured for the occasion added no little to the enjoyment of the evening. E. G. Hill was toastmaster. Mayor C. A. Bookwalter struck the keynote when he referred to the moral uplift that comes from association with flowers; nearly every speaker had a word to say on this point, which played di- rectly into the hands of Miss Hill, who had prepared a toast dealing with the perversity of the divine flower and the provocation it affords any grower in- clined to revert to the primeval state. Mayor Bookwalter talked flowers to flo- rists as few public men ever have talked them, showed his intimate acquaintance with the technical side, and said that as a flower buyer he appreciates that while the' price of flowers to the public is steadily advancing, so is the quality. In the absence of J. S. Stuart, presi- dent of the State Society, his business partner, J. A. E. Haugh, proposed the toast to the guests, which was responded to by J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, HI. After this exchange of courtesies, W. N. Rudd talked on ' ' The Exhibition ; after all, that's the reason we're here. ' ' He said that the exhibitions have been the prime influence, not only in the success of the society, but in the development of the flower; that it was a proud moment when he was elected a judge for the society, as in the hands of the judges lies the future of the flower; in a very few years they can change by the weight of their judgment the direction of the flower's development — and he warned the society that too much weight has been and is attached to size, too little to form. J. C. Vaughan referred to the late L. E. Marquisee as possibly the best example the society ever has had within its membership of the refining influence of the love of flowers; Mr. Marquisee was a gentleman and a scholar, orator, florist and friend. President M. A. Patten spoke for the Carnation Society, and presented the trophies awarded at the show. The silver cups, the medals and the special cash awards were handed over to the win- ners, each of whom responded in a few words. J. A. Valentine, president of the S. A. F., spoke for the parent society, the menu card expressing the sentiment in "Whether you acknowledge the rela- r^^Vi Febuuauv 4, 1000.

' ' * ' Some Carnations I Have Met, and Their Ennobling Influence," by Miss Hill, is presented in full in this issue. The menu was elaborate, the viands choice and the music good, especially the vocal solo by Miss Maude Langstaff, a florist's daughter. THE TRIP TO RICHMOND. Promptly at 6:30 a. m. Friday an en- thusiastic party of about fifty visitors to the carnation convention boarded an electric car, specially chartered for the purpose, and accompanied by mine host, John Berterniann, and the "Sage of Richmond," E. G. Hill, started on a tour of inspection. The first stop was at Cumberland, where the Bertermann new range of carnation houses is located. * ' Talk about a neat and up-to-date place," I heard some one exclaim. "Why, gentlemen, there is no use talk- ing, it is a 'peach' and no mistake." Here the Lawson is still so good that Peter Fisher, who never wastes words, could not help expressing his feelings of admiration for his old time favorite. J. Whitcomb Eiley, their new yellow, promises to fill a long felt want. After lighting the "Bertermann brand" cigars, the party boarded the special caj and was off for Richmond, where the first stop was at the E. T. Grave place. This place is worthy a visit at any time, but is especially inter- esting now, because of Mayday, the seedling carnation, which is being dis- seminated this season. It looks good. It may be remembered that Mr. Grave was the introducer of Dorothy, a medium sized pink, which was grown extensively a few years ago. He now has a white sport of Dorothy, which, however, is not intended for distribution. After a stroll through the rose houses, which, as usual, showed the result of good care, the party went to the new west side plant of the E. G. Hill Co. Those who were under the impression that the Hill Co. is devoting its entire attention to seedling roses to the ex- clusion of seedling carnations were agree- ably surprised. The introducer of Jubi- lee, Armazindy, Flora Hill, America and others, most of which stood the test and were bread-winners in their time, has by no means neglected the divine flower. Several scarlets, a white and a few good pink seedlings, have recently appeared. Joseph Hill, the presiding genius of this establishment, has ample reason to feel elated over the general results achieved this season in so far as the appearance of his general stock is concerned. The Chas. Knopf Floral Co. came in for its share of attention. That Mr. Knopf grows excellent stock is well known. Of course, his seedlings received ' special attention. Mrs. Chas. Knopf, light pink, and Ruby, maroon, are being sent out this year. Another pink, chris- tened Admiration, which is to make its debut a year hence, was much admired by the visitors. The inner man craved attention by this time, and a bountiful dinner, pro- vided by the Richmond hosts, soon waited upon our appetites at one of the leading restaurants. Dinner over, the party pro- ceeded to the E. G. Hill east side estab- lishment, where the seedling roses are grown. Geraniums, ferns, coleus, salvias and other things too numerous to men- tion, by the thousands and tens of thou- sands, are produced for the trade, which, needless to say, extends over a territory bordering on both oceans. And last, but by no means least, the party paid a visit to the ventilator and ' ' contraption ' ' shop of John Evans. Those who were somewhat in need of a * ' bracer, ' ' on account of the strenuous day or the inclement weather, or both, got the bracer, and cigars to burn. S. CONVENTION JOTTINGS. Where, oh where, was Charles Willis Ward? Baur & Smith have a splendid white in Shasta — easily the best thing that has originated on their place. Indeed, Judge Willis N. Rudd said their vase of this variety was the finest white in the hall, which comes from his being a crank on form, with Shasta as round and regular as though turned out by a ma- chine. Baur & Smith have a good stock of it and it is said will disseminate it next year. Since the public is admitted to the exhibition, it seems worth while to pay more attention to arrangement and stag- ing. Induce the retail florists to take a hand. Joseph Heacock states that unless someone takes the job oflf his hands he will disseminate Dorothy Gordon next year. This is a seedling of Lawson and Enchantress that appears to have only one weak point: its similarity in appear- ance to Rose-pink Enchantress. Mr. Heacock this season has 6,000 plants on his benches. Bertermann Bros. Co. has not yet decided what to do with the yellow carnation, James Whitcomb Riley, feel- ing that to properly exploit it would re- quire more time than they care to take from their retail business. In England and Germany no color is in more de- mand than yellow, and on neither side of the Atlantic is there a yellow carnation that is more than locally grown. Tlie Review last week reported cor- rectly the award of the S. A. F. silver medal to F. Dorner & Sons Co., on No. 175-06. The way other papers fell into error was that the judges first awarded the medal to A. C. Brown, on Superba, but a little later discovered they had failed to consider several entries that stood on another tJible. In rejudging, the award went to No. 175-06, a big, round, full, regular orange scarlet that looks like it would trot in any class. When the judges took the silver medal away from Superba they gave it the bronze medal. No. 175-06 would have competed for the A. C. S. gold medal, only Dorners could not cut 100 blooms of it.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* u wholesaler unquestioned assurance of financial responsibility. I sometimes think the growers, as a class, have been remarkably trusting and generous in this latter respect to salesmen of all kinds, but whether it is good business is a dif- ferent question, and, as before intimated, it is hardly in harmony with accepted i'ommercial practice, which demands that the money from the sale of flowers should pass promptly from the consumer, through the medium of retailer and wholesaler, to the grower, and with equal celerity from the latter to those who supply and serve him. In no respect are the various departments of the trade more closely interdependent, and in none is reform more urgently needed, than in this matter of credits and accountability. A Caution to the Retailer. As to the retailer, he should never for- get that the producer of the stock which he must have, if he is to continue in business, is entitled to a fair return and the means of placing his business in a position of lionor and good repute. It is natural to want to buy as cheaply as possible, but the disposition to beat down wholesale values, regardless of the pos- sibilities of ruin and discouragement that may follow, should be looked upon with disapproval by all well-wishers of the floral industry. In conclusion, let none of us be "con- tent with knowledge sufficient for the present need. ' ' The business with which our fortunes are linked is only in course of development, and to keep pace with its growth and its emergencies requires the best combined thought you can give to it. Mutual respect and mutual toler- ation are good qualities to cultivate. Our peace of mind, our business future and, last but not least, our pocket books. ^i^^^H mm I^^^B^^^^I^^ 1 ^^^H v .^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^1^^ ^^^^^^^^K^. ^^^^^^^^^^^H^^ i a L, '.

Sangamo is one of the pink seedlings certificated at the Indianapolis meeting of the American Carnation Society. It also won for its originator, A. C. Brown, of Springfield, Sangamon county, Illinois, the second premium for best 100 light pink — the Winona class. Sangamo is of good, clear color, pink with .just a sug- gestion of salmon. The flowers are three inches or over and it is a good grower and free bloomer, with strong calyx. Mr. Brown says that in his own trade at Springfield, Sangamo has proved an ex- cellent commercial sort, being a good seller and good keeper. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. General Care of Young Stock. During the month of February special pft'orts should be made to propagate all the stock possible, as not only are the mature })lants at their best, but weather conditions are such as favor rooting the largest percentage of any time in the year. As the different batches come from the sand and are potted or pricked out in flats, as the case may be, there should be in readiness a suitable place to receive them after having become sufficiently es- tablished to stand strong light. The average grower is inclined to argue with himself that, not being pro- ducers, young stock can be crowded into out-of-the-way places, regardless of sur- rounding conditions. I venture the opinion that no grower ever succeeded in convincing himself of the soundness of the argument ; still, every year we see the usual attempts at impossibilities. These small plants, upon which we are to depend next season, can only be relied on to give us returns in proportion to the care bestowed upon them while young. Consequently it is a mistake to look upon them as a necessary evil and able to take care of themselves. Choose a location receiving full sun and an abundance of air. Clean out, whitewash and cover the bottom of the bench with cinders or other drainage material and, as pointed out in the Re- view of January 21, arrange for the em- ployment of low temperature. Under no circumstances allow insect pests to gain a foothold. They inva- riably attack the partially -^r»>-fer»)-^r»)-^r»)-^f»)'fe;»)''yf»ii SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS I Cyclamens. Seedlings of cyclamen started early last October are still in flats on a shelf in a light, sunny house. The surface soil is scratched over frequently and it is really surprising how the little plants ap- preciate and respond to these little at- tentions. You cannot get them, or for that matter any other plants, to grow satisfactorily if you allow the surface to become caked, mossy and weedy. Care- ful watering and cleanliness are as im- portant as proper soil and temperature in plant cultivation under glass. The little cyclamens should go into 2% -inch pots before they become crowded. At this first potting, use a light compost containing two-thirds leaf-mold, one- third loam and some fine sand. Do not use any manure, even if old and well decayed, until the next potting. Give your plants a stand on a light bench and a temperature of 45 to 52 degrees at night. A light spraying overhead early in the afternoon of warm days will be beneficial. Watering with the hose is easy and often necessary. If you want good cyclamens, use a watering pot, how- ever, in the early stages of growth. Campanula Medium. Campanula medium, better known as Canterbury bells, have during the last few years become quite popular at Kaster. White colors usually sell best at that time, but the pink shades are spe- cially attractive. The blue shades are in less demand. Double varieties are less desirable than the single and Calycan- thema varieties. To ensure your plants being on time, if they have not yet been started, lose no time in placing them in a night temperature of 50 degrees. It will not pay to run them any warmer, or the plants will become weak and spind- ling. When in active growth the Can- terbury bells want lots of water, so do not let them suffer on this score. Hydrangeas. The flower heads on hydrangeas are beginning to show in the shoots of some of the earliest plants. These will be in good season for Easter without any need of resorting to hard forcing. Like spiraeas, the hydrangeas want an abun- dant water supply, and where the pots are filled with roots, use liquid manure once in four or five days. If the foliage. perchance, looks pale, use a little soot or nitrate of soda in the water to tone them up. Do not allow aphis to get any foot- hold. If you remember the weekly fumi- gation, you will have no trouble on this score. Any plants which are throwing few flowers will probably yield you a good crop of serviceable cuttings. These can be grown into strong plants to force another year. If your plants are a little backward, they can stand a temperature of 58 to 60 degrees at night, but it is better to reduce this 5 to 10 degrees as the flower heads develop. Fuchsias. Old fuchsia plants started in gentle heat a short time ago will now have broken freely and a good crop of nice, short, stocky cuttings will be obtainable from them. In a propagating bench they will root and be fit to pot off within three weeks. While not of much value fpr bedding-out purposes, fuchsias make desirable pot plants and flower nicely in window boxes or in vases on piazzas, where they get a little broken light from the midday sun. At bedding-out time, nice little plants in bloom in 4-inch pots usually sell well. Petunias. A crop of nice cuttings should now be gotten in of the double varieties of petunias and any special singles which have been selected. As pot plants, petunias have much to recommend them. They are persistent flowering, even in the hottest weather, and make ideal dwelling house plants. Whether in vases, boxes, baskets or flower borders, there are no more satisfactory bedding plants than petunias. If at bedding-out time you have a good batch of doubles and singles of the California Giant type car- rying a few flowers, you will find them one of the best sellers, next to geraniums and cannas. BougainviUeas. Bougainvilleas have become quite im- portant Easter plants of late years. Their color is not popular with some peo- ple, but they meet with a satisfactory sale each year. Easter stock is now growing freely in a house kept at 60 degrees at night. Having been started three weeks ago in this temperature, the flowers should be well developed ten weeks hence.

Hoffmeir, New York City. twice a day is given for the first two or three weeks, but care should be taken not to overwater the plants in the early stages of growth. We have known many cases where plants have died from an ex- cess of moisture at the roots before they had started to grow. The varieties Sanderiana and Cypheri are the best for pot culture, glabra being splendid as a climber or pillar plant. Ampeloptis Veitchii. Retail florists always have a call for ])lants of Boston ivy, as this pretty ampelopsis is popularly called. It is not possible to get plants of suflBcient strength to sell the first season, but it will well repay anyone to raise a batch of seedlings and grow them on for next year 's trade. Sow the seed in flats, as you would stocks or asters. They are of easy germination. Transplant into other flats and later either plant out in the field or. better still, pot off singly and plunge in a frame for the summer, where you can give them an occasional water- ing. The price you can ask for these ampelopsis will repay you for the work of carrying them over winter. Gladiolus The Bride. It is time to get a batch of Gladiolus The Bride into heat. A warm house is not to their liking; 50 to 52 degrees at night is as high as it is safe to grow them. As their flats are now a perfect mass of roots, see that they get abun- dant supplies of water. A little cow manure water once a week may also be given. Similar treatment may be given any of the other early forcing varieties of gladioli, but be sure they have plenty of roots and have the tops nicely startcl before placing them in lieat. Crotons and Dracaenas. The present is an opportune time to overhaul crotons and dracsenaa and do any potting or topdressing needed. If you have not put in a good crop of cut- tings, do so without delay. Leggy plants of both crotons and colored leaved draceenas are often propagated by moss- ing and rooting the tops by what is com- monly termed the "ringing" process. The same mode of propagation is much used in the case of Ficus elastica. All that is necessary is to partly cut through the stem with a sharp knife, push a toothpick in to keep the cut open and then tie a handful of moss firmly and evenly around the incision and keep the moss constantly moist, cutting off and potting the tops as soon as roots appear in the moss. In the hot summer months ficus root quickly treated thus, but they, with crotons, dracaenas, dieifenbachias and some few other warm house plants, can be readily rooted in winter or spring in the same way. A warm, moist house is of course necessary for successful propa- gation. Hybrid Perpetual Roses. If wanted for Easter, it is now time to prune and start your hybrid perpetual roses in a cool house. Give a tempera- ture of 40 to 45 degrees until the plants are breaking freely; then advance it 5 degrees. Ventilate carefully, in order that mildew may not get any foothold on J cur plants. Stock which was potted last fall will give much better results than such as are potted now. The de- mand for hybrid roses is not what it used to be; more is the pity. The advent, first, of Crimson Rambler, and of late \cars a host of other climbers of that ! type, wliich make excellent pot plants, ' has nuuli to do with the lessened culture of the hybrid perpetuals. Nevertheless, nicely flowered pots are acceptable at Easter, but it requires considerable close figuring and watching to time them ex- actly right, as much depends on the weather. GUDE'S CAMPAIGN LITERATUBE. In the recent election of the Chamber of Commerce, Washington, D. C, Wm. F. Gude and A. Moses were the opposing candidates for president until the fol- lowing poem was circulated by the sup- porters of Mr. Gude. They will tell you, ' ' On the dead, now, there was nothing to it after that." A stranger stood witliiu our gatfs; He queried, soft and low: •'Wliat means the almost solemn iiir I meet, where'er I go?" Why, we're all dead; the Tradesman said. And all we need is flowers To strew on our commercial corpse — • \ Florist, please, for ours. .No second Moses do s\'e need. To show the promised land. No .\aron's rod to tap trade roclis. That lie close to our hand. So let us slumber on and on. Through all the happy liours; No hustling Moses need apply — A Klorist, please, for ours. After the vote was counted s-ome kind friend patronized a florist and sent Mr. Moses a beautiful funeral wreath. Haddon Heights, N. J. — R. Pabst is erecting three more houses, each 20x80.

Hoflfmeir, at Eighty- third street and Broadway, New York. The store throughout is finished in silver birch, the furniture being specially made to correspond with the trimmings of the room. The work-room is at the rear, with the office above it, reached by the stairs shown in the center in the illus- tration. It will be noted that there is no sales counter in the store, this now being considered unnecessary in flower stores which cater to high-class trade. Mr. Hoflfmeir also has a store at At- lantic City, and eight greenhouses, with three acres of land, at Northfield, N. J. THE SCARLET HEART. The heart in the illustration was made entirely of Liberty roses, their scarlet being much favored by members of the Roman Catholic Church. The arrange- ment at the base is particularly light and eflfective, affording an excellent setting for the scarlet flowers. This always is a striking design, especially if, as often happens, all the other arrangements are of white flowers. This is the work of Charles Henry Fox, at the Sign of the Rose, Philadelphia. Phil. STEAM ON SHOW WINDOWS. T noticed an article in the Review of January 21 on "Steam on Show Win- dows." One way, and I think the only way, lo prevent frost from forming is to have the glass double, with an air space of two inches or more between the glass. This air space must be perfectly tight, to insure its eifectiveness. We build expensive walls for beauty and to keep out the cold; why not plan to have the most valuable part of the store built to^ insure its beauty and useful- ness? The additional glass may be re- moved during the summer. J. V. WiCKLER. A NOVEL DECORATION. The decorations for the midwinter ball in Horticultural hall. Philadelphia, Jan- uary 29, introduced at least one novel feature. It was an electrical sunburst, represented by a ball of fiery red in the center, with electrical beams varying gradually from red to orange and yellow radiating from it. The boxes of plaster of Paris, which have proved so popular in recent fall decorations, were again put in })osition. The^e boxes are perhaps three feet high, with steps approaching on both ends, and open behind. The boxep, with the addition of rugs and chairs, form favorite vantage points for seeing and being seen. They were decorated with choice Acacia pubescens, and white azaleas set in plaster of Paris vases, of pleasing design. The stage effect was of an Italian garden in which choice Cibo- tium Schicclei were conspicuous, white columns bcin^i; wet} to relieve the green. Above the boxes were double eleclricTl arches, tastefully adorned with wild snii lax. Four special chandeliers were hung in a square, high up, where light wa.^ needed. The table decorations were spring flowers, excepting the patronesses ' table, which was adorned with American Beauties. Over 100 tables, each with its own variety of tulip, of daffodil, free?ia, or white lilac, presented a charming effect. This decoration was the work of .1. .1. Habermehl 's Sons. I am indebted for the description to the courtesy of John P. Habermehl. Phil. STORING GALAX. Will you tell us at what temperature galax leaves should be kept in coM Ftorage? W. & S. This inquiry comes from a rctrii fl( - rist. Galax leaves bought in the ordinary quantities handled by retailers can be kept satisfactorily in the bottom of the ordinary cut flower bOx. If a case of galax is bought, store it away, in the refrigerator and cover the leaves with damp moss or wet sacking, anything that will keep the air away from the galax leaves. As needed, take out a few of the leaves, clip the stems a bit and stand in shallow pots of water. Keep a supply ahead in water, for they are much better for use after having stood a few days in water. If the pots are kept in a cool place the leaves will keep several weeks. Where galax leaves are placed in cold storage warehouses to remain a consider- able time they are kept in the coolest room which is still above freezing; if frozen the leaves spoil quickly on ex- posure to the air. F. K. FOR A RAILROAD DINNER. The florist often is called upon for special decorations, where relatiopship to the character of the dinner, or of the diners, is required rather than the ar- tistic arrangement of fine flowers. These decorations often test the skill of the florist, for nothing is more difficult than to execute a decoration of this class in a manner that will appeal to the artistic sense. How M. A. Bowe, New York, re- cently built a railroad amid the flowers, on a dinner table is shown in the ac- The Bleeding Heart. :^ jit^'l.j -i^-f.^..'» "^'^ M^M^vw...y..

The oval table carried a moss-grown railroad embankment, at the top of which a miniature track was laid, with bridges, stations, semaphores, and all the "properties," even to a section hand with a handcar. The locomotive and train of three cars were kept in motion all through the dinner by an electric storage battery. In the center was a little lake in which swam a swan. On the shores of the lake were pussy wil- lows, Adiantuni Farleyense, cattleyas and other choice plants, all grouped to harmonious effect in the unusual encir- cling feature. ft is worth while noting that the en- tire decoration was low, so that the diners could see and converse across the table. To be of any account for pot culture, Canterbury bells should be in not less than 6-inch pots, and 8-inch is none too large for good plants. Another season I would suggest that you make a sowing under glass in April. Plant outdoors in June, potting up in early October in your Kentucky climate. These plants will give you splendid stock for the Easter of 1910 if you start them this spring. 1 do not think the plants you have will flower at all this season. C. W. CANTERBURY BELLS FOR EASTER In August, 1908, we planted some seeds of Canterbury bells, cup and saucer variety, and transplanted them in Octo- ber into flats. We tipped them off into 21/. -inch pots in December, and January 20 we shifted them to ;|-inch pots. If kept in a temperature of 40 to .50 de- grees at night and repotted again into 4-inch pots, can they l)e forced into bloom by Easter? ' A. & W. I am afraid your Canterbury bells •were sown rather too late to flower the indow in it. I open this window, lock the door of the greenhouse and close the door leading from the house to the vestibule. Any gaa that comes through into the vestibule is so diluted as to be harmless. We often notice the odor in the vestibule, but think nothing of it. There is no disputing that cyanide is a most deadly poison, but I am fully satisfied that an ordinary dose, as given for insects, would not be strong enough to do any harm to anyone or anything outside the closed doors of the green- house. I can remember that when I first used it I was afraid to do it until late at night, when no one was going along the street past the front house. The most peculiar and interesting thing about using hydrocyanic acid gas is that its effects are decidedly different at different times. It settles in moisture quickly, and if the foliage is wet it is likely to settle on it and burn the foliage severely, or if the plants are dry and the walks and soil quite wet, it will settle there as quickly and do the insects little or no harm. Contrary to the rules for using all other fumigants. the house and the plants should be dry when it is used. In using cyanide, the stuff should be kept locked up until needed and the op- eration should be personally superin- tended by the proprietor. Never leave it to others. Stop and think before start- ing to drop the papers: Are the ven- tilators closed? Are the doors all fas- tened except those left open to go out by? Are these doors unlatched and ready? Are there any pet animals in the house? Keep your wits about you, and lock the doors when you get out at the end; then there is little or no danger about it. There is no record of anyone ever being injured by using it for fumi- gating. H. G. COSMOS. Can anyone tell we whether seed from Cosmos Lady Lenox will hybridize if planted near the Giant variety; that is, will the former variety stay true to name? H. K. Lady Lenox should not be planted near other varieties of cosmos, if you intend keeping seed from it, as it fertilizes readily and would not come true from seeT:r.'\.T' ^' ~^- '. -^^ »''<'•. •"!.■ Pebkdaey 4, 1909.

I. Various Notes. Arrangements for the annual dinner of the New York Florists' Club are now complete. The date has been changed to Saturday evening, February 27, so that the Roman banquet hall at Shanley's could be secured. The room is to be arranged with round tables, at which eight can be seated, so that friends can arrange in advance to have tables re- served and enjoy the dinner together. Already several tables have been spoken for. The fact that ladies are to be en- tertained this year seems to give general satisfaction. The price is reasonable when the menu and entertainment are considered. As the room can only seat .300, it would be well to write W. J. El- liott, chairman of the committee, at once and secure desirable seats for the occa- sion. The sympathy of the wholesale cut flower section is with the veteran James Hart, in the loss of his daughter last week, and was demonstrated by the send- ing of many beautiful floral tokens to Madison, thirty wreaths and other costly designs among them. The young lady was a general favorite, the wife of Land- lord Lyons, of Madison, and the stores of the city were closed as a mark of respect while the funeral was in progress. James A. MacDonald now has his licadquarters at 3 East Thirtieth street and says he is having a satisfactory season. Charles Millang has severed his con- nection with Millang Bros, and will open a plant market on the corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-seventh street. August Millang will continue in charge of the handsome store and wholesale cut flower and plant business at 41 West Twenty-eighth street. O. V. Zangen has on exhibition at his store, 52 "West Twenty-eighth street, the new carnation, Mrs. Pfeufer, which he will disseminate. The flower 's parentage is Prosperity and Floriana; the color and odor are distinct and the size aver- aging over three inches. Jolm Pfeufer, of Irvington, N. J., is the originator. John Armsby, who lias charge of the orchid range lef erred to in these notes last week, is an expert of thirty-five years' experience. He has worked with Lager & Hurrell, Julius Roehrs Co., and many orchid growers of England. He has a force of seven men and some 10,000 orchid plants under his care, in- cluding 8,000 cattleyas, phalajnopsis, deudrobiums, leelias, cypripediums, etc. James McManus has handled the stock. As many as 2,000 Trianse blooms have been seen there at one time. Z. Piddington is now in charge of the conservatory of Bloomingdalo Bros., the position vacated by W. W. Burnham a few weeks ago. Sheftel hall. Third avenue and Seven- teenth street, New York, the same loca- tion as in 1908, has been chosen for the annual show of the National Association of Gardeners, March 17 and 18. It promises to be a big success. The annual exhibition of carnations will take place at the meeting of the New York Florists' Club next Monday, February 8. There will be many novel- ties, some of the prize winners and alto- gether, Secretary May says, an exhibit worth coming far to see. Exhibits may be sent by express prepaid to Secretary Young, 51 West Twenty-eighth street, who will see that they are properly staged and cared for. The exhibition should prove of great value to carnation- ists and draw a majority of the club membership. An enjoyable evening is assured. The salesmen of the Lord & Burnham Co. will hold their annual dinner Satur- day evening, February 6, at the Hotel St. Denis, after a meeting at 2 p. m. in the assembly room, where business prob- lems will be discussed. Each salesman is assigned a subject to elaborate upon and defend, followed by an open dis- cussion. Those present will be D. T. Conners, of Philadelphia; J. B.

Munroe. William A. Munroe, who has conducted a seed store at 831 Westminster street. Providence, R. I., committed suicide at his home, 243 Waldo street, on the night of January 28, his body being found in the morning by his stepson, Robert L. Van Meter, who lived with him. When the body was found it was lying on the bed with gas pouring from two burners directly above, and the door and windows tightly shut. Mr. Munroe buried his wife last April and had been feeling despondent ever since. While he left no letter or word of any kind, this is the only reason that could be given for the deed. He had conducted the store at 831 Westminster street for about twenty years. Leander R. Peck. Leander R. Peck, who died at Provi dence, R. I., January 28, was the pos- sessor of one of the largest and most valuable collections of orchids in New England. He began his collection about ten years ago. David Marsh was placed in charge. At the time of his death his collection had cost him upwards of $50,- 000. Mr. • Peck was born February 12, 1843, and was one of the wealthiest men in Rhode Island. George A. Weaver. George A. Weaver, one of the best - known dealers in agricultural and horti- cultural tools, implements and supplies in Rhode Island, died at his home in Newport, January 26, after an illness of several weeks, due to heart trouble and pneumonia. He was the son of George B. Weaver and was born in Newport, November 30, 1854. Part of his life he spent in farming, but engaged in busi ness with his father, succeeding him when he was but 21 years of age. His store was destroyed by fire in 1892, but a much larger building was at once erected on the same site, and a few years ago the business was incorporated as the George A. Weaver Co. Sophia Schwerin. Mrs. Schwerin died at Burlington, la., January 27, of pneumonia. She was born in Hanovc-r, Germany, March 17, 1836, and in the early days of Burling- ton she and her husband ran a grcen- iiouse and garden. Patrick Kenefick. Patrick Kenefick died at his son's resi- dence, 20 Fenwick street, Halifax, N. S., January 21, at the age of 72 years. Mr. Kenefick had been in the employ of George E. Boak for the last twenty-eight years, and for the last seven years he had been manager of the Fenwick Nur- series. He is survived by his wife, three sons and five daughters. Alfred Ashley. Alfred Ashley, a brother of Ernest Ashley, the florist at Allentown, Pa., died .lanuary 28 at the Allentown Hospital, the result of a runaway accident a few hours before, when the delivery horse he was driving became uncontrollable through fright at a Lehigh Valley switch engine. Deceased was born in England about twenty-nine years ago and was a son of Edwin and Julia Ashley, both of whom are still living in England. He had been in this country for several years, during which time he was in the employ of his brother. Orange, N.

The Review brings results. The ground-hog saw his shadow; Feb- ruary 2 was a bright day in most sec- tions of the country. Lawson surely is a " has been ' ' so far as the average grower is concerned; it 's down and out on most places. Mrs. Louis E. Marquisee has pub- lished one of the late Mr. Marquisee 's poems, ' ' The Flower Divine, " in a neat pamphlet. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending the Review $2, $3, or occasionally $5, in- stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty- two visits of Ihe paper. The senate committee on agriculture at Washington. January 3, ordered a favorable report on the bill to prevent the adulteration of insecticides, substan- tially as published some months ago in the Review. Violations of the act are punishable by fines ranging from $200 to $1,000, or by imprisonment, or both. It looks as if the Enchantress family may crowd the other sorts pretty hard next season. Anyone who can grow car- nations at all well can do Enchantress, and there are those who say White En- chantress is even easier to handle, with the result that cuttings of it are in greater demand than any other variety this season. NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. With the final meeting of the com- mittee at Indianapolis last week, the national flower show became a matter of history — modern history, and a pleas- ant memory. The artistic success was apparent the day the show opened, al- though it was recognized that certain ideals had not been attained. The pop- ular success was soon denvJnstrated. and now the financial statement published in last week's Review shows the out- come to be exceedingly gratifying from a money point of view. Doubtless not a few of the guarantors said good-bye to the sums they paid in for preliminary expenses, when au revoir (adieu, until we meet again) would have been more apt — for the checks were back within a fortnight of the close of the show. And now the guarantors receive a dividend of ten per cent of the sums paid in, while the treasury of the S. A. F. is enriched nearly $500. What more cohld be ask«df But it should be recorded that the highly satisfactory financial outcome is in considerable measure due to the fact that the members of the committee not only gave their time and their energy, but paid their own expenses. Also, the audit shows that purchases made from members of the committee were almost without exception put in at cost prices. The committee has taken in the sum of $25,801.82 and paid it out again ; it has given the greatest exhibition of its kind ever held in America, one that called from the pockets of the public $17,791 in admissions, without other reward than the consciousness of a task well done — and it is a pleasure to recognize its merit. To Gurney Hill and Robert Craig is due the inception of the idea, but had it not been for the indomitable energy of J. C. Vaughan, it is safe to say, the ex- hibition never would have eventuated. To Chairman Kasting, all the members of the executive committee, and the as- sistants they rallied about them, are due the results attained, while for J. A. Valentine, the auditor, a word should be said for the study and system which gives a statement that will stand as a model for precise, complete flower show accounting. It is inevitable that in so large an affair of this character there should be some sore spots. Forget them — they need no lotion — and watch the gentlemen who shall be selected to conduct the second national exhibition toe the mark that has been made for them. HE WANTED TO KNOW.

There has been no shortage of carna- tions and prices have weakened. Gener- ally speaking, quality leaves nothing to be desired. Practically every grower is cutting as good carnations as he ever did in his life. The receipts are so heavy that the wholesalers are seldom complete- ly sold out. The violet market suffered as much in last week's storm as any other depart- ment of the trade. Usually Saturday sees a clean-up of all violets, but this time rain on Thursday and snow on Friday, which caused an accumulation of stock, was followed by a zero day Saturday and violets were not called for. The re- tailers bought only a little stock for the Saturday business and did not sell even that, so the wholesalers said Sunday gave them the dullest forenoon of the winter. The buyer has made the price on violets ever since. Jonquils h.ive sold excellently this week. Paper Whites are not going as well as they did, because white carna- tions are more abundant. Some special fancy tulips in red and yellow bring fair prices, but white tulips are sold at ex- ceedingly low prices; it does not seem possible that they can be profitable to the forcers. Harrisii lilies now are abundant and may be had at all the way from $8 per hundred up to twice that sum; it depends on the length of stem; there are a great many short lilies about. Callas also are more abundant and there is a large supply of valley and freesias. The early spring demand for sweet peas is beginning to be apparent. Good sweet peas sell well, while the poorer grades are hardly wanted at any price. There is an ample supply of all green goods at usual prices. Bright skies and warmer weather in the early part of this week gave promise of increased production and consequent lower prices. January Weather. January was a bad month for the growers. There were only four clear days, five partly cloudy and twenty-two that the weatherman classes as cloudy. The sunshine during the month was thirty-three per cent of the possible dura- Headquartera In the Qreat Central BXarket for all kinds of Florists' Supplies Specially large and fine Btock of Natural Preserved Wreaths, Moss Hreaths and Metal Designs Qualities always the best and prices the lowest.

The mean temperature was 29 de- grees, against a normal of 24 degrees, and the average velocity of the wind was only fourteen miles per hour, which made a saving in the fuel bill. The ground-hog saw his shadow Feb- ruary 2. The January Business. Reports as to January business vary considerably. Those who had fair cuts, especially of roses, did as well, or even a little better than a year ago; but those whose rose crops were off during most of the month find total sales less than a year ago. During January roses have brought fully as good prices as in the first month of any previous year, but carnation prices have been below normal, and so have the prices of most other items. During the first half of the month business was on the quiet side; then came a spurt in the demand, to be quickly ended by a couple of days with the temperature up to 65 degrees. The return of good weather gave a few days more of brisk business, only to have it shut off by the storm the last three days of the month. Various Notes. Thus far no one has mentioned Mc- Kinley day. There may have been such a day, somewhere, but not in the Chicago market. Good business for Valentine's day is expected, February 14. Violets are expected to be in large supply and moderate in price. Lincoln's birthday, February 12, and Washington's birth- day, February 22, always bring a little extra business in the way of stock for dinner decorations. Peter Reinberg ended his sojourn at St. Elizabeth's hospital February 3. He had been incarcerated two weeks. Dur- ing his enforced absence from the coun- cil the city raised his salary as alderman $1,500 per year. The Pittsburg Plate Glass Co. says that all doubts about the extent of the greenhouse building this season ha^e been set at rest by the fact that last week they booked orders aggregating ten carloads of greenhouse glass, with many more inquiries which have not yet de- veloped business. One of the week 's visitors was Walter Delmmer, son of O. R. Delmmer, Eau Claire, Wis. E. C. Amling says that he shipped out more than 2,000 jonquils February 1, but that there is little call for daffodils. E. E. Pieser states that several ship- pers of Mississippi jonquils have written that they are about ready to begin to pick and that the southern stock will come in heavily before the end of the present week. L. Coatsworth, of the Benthey-Coats- worth Co., has returned from a few days' visit to his plant at New Castle. , The Florists ' Club will have its month- ly meeting this evening, Thursday, Feb- ruary 4, for the installation of new offi- cers.

George Reinberg is beginning to cut cattleyas a little more abundantly. The stock is fine, but the production has not been large thus far. Kennicott Bros. Co. had poinsettias February 1 and during the last week in January received quite a few good chrysanthemums. There is no such thing as seasons in the flower business any more. C. W. McKellar says the retailers are using Oncidium tigrinum quite freely for their good table work. The Poehlmann Bros. Co. is glad to see good weather again. Last week's storm interrupted the glazing now in progress on the new houses. It is the intention to have the addition at Plant B completed and planted with roses by May 1. It will be July 1 before the addition of Plant A is completed. One of John Mangel's show windows was broken January 31 and some stock was lost. The second floor of the building at 76 and 78 Wabash avenue, occupied by E. H.

Graft, August Dressel and one or two other employes of Sam Pearce, bowled against an aggre- gation of ten Holland bulb salesmen, who were on a scouting expedition in search of the orders usually to be found in that locality. The Hollanders got the worst of it as far as the bowling goes. C. H. Fisk now has the toniest trans- portation facilities on the west side. He has just bought a new high power auto- mobile, so constructed that it can be used either as a touring car or as a delivery van, by simply changing the top. John Muno paid a visit to his old haunts in the flower market February 1. He has grown only lettuce and radishes the last two seasons and says that even with last year's low prices for lettuce he came out as well as he had been doing with carnations. Last season lettuce brought 15 cents to 17 ^^ cents per case most of the time, while this year it has ranged from 30 cents to 45 cents. Mr. Muno says most of the lettuce grow- ers figure that if they can take their expenses out of five crops of lettuce, a crop of cucumbers in the spring insures a fair profit.

The Market The market conditions were somewhat mixed last week; some days stock came in rather lightly, other days plentifully. Owing to the fierce winter weather, con- signments came in late and some of them were frozen. Not much stock was left over any time during the week, as the retail business was reported good in all branches, notwithstanding the cold weather. It was impossible to make plant decorations during the latter part of the week. Friday was McKinley day and the coldest day of the week. The whole- salers did a big business in pink carna- tions, but the retailers reported poor sales. There was also a good demand during the week for the midseason graduating of the high schools. The blooming plant trade among the west end florists is also reported good. At the wholesale houses we find a scarcity only in roses, there being only a few of the choice grades coming in.

Friday, January 29, McKinley Carna- tion day, the local trade laid in a big supply of pink carnations, but the bliz- zard and zero weather blasted the hope of the retailers. The Florists' Club's trustees and the entertainment committee met last week and perfected all arrangements for the smoker to be held on the evening of February 11, and invitations will be sent out this week. Julius Schaefer will open a retail store next week on Sixth street, between Pine and Chestnut streets. Of late Mr. Schaefer has been employed by Grimm & Gorley. It is a good location and he should do well. B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel- phia, was a visitor last week. President W. C.

The St. Louis Florists' Club's regular monthly meeting will take place next Thursday afternoon, February 11, at 2 o 'clock. The carnation exhibition will take place at 3 o'clock, and at 5 p. m. the entertainment committee will take members and visitors to a nearby cafe, where a supper will be served, which will be followed by an entertainment and smoker, which the committee says will be something out of the ordinary. J. J. B. EVANSVILLE,IND. The Market. After the holidays and up to January 18 business was aJmost at a standstill, when all of a sudden came a rush of business, and it has been lively since then. Roses and carnations have been rather short and prices have held up well. McKinley day was such a disagreeable one that not nearly the number of car- nations were worn that would have been worn on a nice day. All conductors and motormen on street cars wore carnations, presented by their employers. Various Notes. Ben Kramer had a large picture of McKinley, tastefully decorated, in his window. C. Niednagel has a white seedling car- nation that looks good. The flower is very large. E. L. Fenton, of Royston & Fenton, is wearing a pleased smile. It is an eleven- pound boy, born January 12.

The demand has increased slightly; the supply, owing to the unfavorable weather at the end of last week and the severe cold at the beginning of the present week, has fallen off. The result is that there are not enough choice flowers to fill the orders in fun, and cutting is the rule. Prices have not advanced, despite these conditions, but they are firmer, resulting in higher average returns to the grower, the buyers taking without question anyihing ap- proaching the desired grade. Carnations are the most important fac- tor in the market today. The quality is superb, the demand excellent. Winsor appears to be the favorite, with the choice whites. Enchantress, and choice reds in about equal favor. The medium and extra lengths of American Beauties are hard to get with good flowers, the specials and shorts representing this variety at present. All the other roses are in short supply, nothing in the rose line, excepting long-stemmed American Beauties, appearing abundant. Sweet peas have become more plenti- ful, lavender and flesh color being ob- tainable in quantity, these delicate shades bringing higher average prices than the pink and white. Violets are plentiful; in fact, so plentiful that several of the local shops made special single violet offers. All the spring flowers are in good supply and prove popular. Double dafi'odils have come. Fine white lilac was never more abundant. Smilax con- tinues a drug. Cattleyas are fine and plentiful. Local demand is brisk, ship- ping fair. The Indianapolis Convention. The carnation delegates from this dis- trict who attended the Indianapolis con- vention of the American Carnation So- ciety were Samuel S. Pennock and S. S. Skidelsky, of this city; Joseph Heaeock, .Tames Heaeock, and Eobert Jamison, of Wyncote; Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, and William Swayne, of Kennett. The features of the convention, from a Phil- adelphia standpoint, were the election of Albert M. Herr as president of the so- ciety, and the capture of first prize for 100 white carnations by the Strafford Flower Farm (Edward A. Stroud), with Lady Bountiful, from seven competitors. Samuel S. Pennock, in reviewing the exhibition, said it was a splendid show, the flowers all showing a high' degree of culture. The hall was admirably adapt- ed for the purpose, the attendance good, the interest keen. Mr. Pennock appre- ciated the compliment shown him by the society when he was asked to be one of the three judges chosen on the ground. Qub Meeting. At the monthly meeting of the Flo- rists' Club, February 2, there was an excellent display of stock. Campbell Bros. Co., of Penllyn, exhibited White Perfection, Enchantress and Pink Im- perial carnations, also new yellow Cine- raria stellata. William Kleinheinz, of Lynwood Hall, showed Sarah Hill, White Perfection and Pink Imperial carnations. W. F. Lacroix, of Buena, N. J., made a fine display of De Marley white lilac. The Pennock-Mcehan Co. staged a vase of White Killarney in good condition which had been received one week pre- viously from the Waban Rose Conserva- tories, Natick, Mass. The Strafford Flower Farm exhibited six or seven vases of carnations, including Lady Bountiful, AVinsor, White Perfection, Beacon, En- chantress and Mrs. Burnett. There also was an attractive exhibit of Stock Beaute of Nice. Albert M. Herr gave an interesting address on the Indianapolis carnation convention. Messrs. Gorman, Weaver and other Lancaster florists were present. A Carnation Range. , It is nearly two years since Henry Weiss & Sons commenced work on their carnation range at Hatboro, Pa. It was several times mentioned to Phil that this range was something out of the common, a step forward in the march o^ progress. But this and that and the other inter- Febkdary 4, 1909.

The pleasure and profit derived from the visit fully repaid the effort. There are two houses, each 35x302 feet, and one house of half this length and the same width, the balance to be completed next summer. They are all planted with carnations — not small, or- dinary carnations, but carnations of the kind that produce the high grade flowers for which the Philadelphia market is be- coming noted. The young stock bench and the propagating bench gave abun- dant evidence that the quality will be maintained if care and skill count for anything. The quantities and varieties grown, given by young Mr. Weiss, are as fol- lows: 1,500 Aristocrat, 1,500 Kobert Craig, 5,000 Winsor, 6,000 Enchantress, 5,000 Lieut. Peary, 1,500 Beacon, 2,500 Queen, 1,000 White Perfection and 2,500 Mrs. T. W. Lawson, making a total of 26.500 plants. The crops have been steady, the high- est month reaching 47,000 flowers; the lowest was 32,000. A bench of sweet peas in the propagating house was in fine condition for blooms next month. It is not only in the arrangement of the houses and growing of plants that Henry Weiss impresses his visitor, but also in the neatness of arrangement shown in the smallest detail. Mr. Weiss fully deserves to be called capable. He can do all sorts of things and do them well. Take his boiler pit, for instance. The floor of this pit is twelve feet be- low the ground level. Under it water was found and a fine well, seven feet deep, was excavated. This well has been fitted up with a steam pump and over- flow pipes, fully adapted to all his re- quirements. Two eighty horse-power re- turn tubular boilers furnish steam for the houses. The product of this plant has been handled by the Leo Niessen Co. since cutting was commenced. The flow- ers are considered among the best com- ing into the city. The visitors left to the tinkle of the telephone bell and a hurry-up call for a shipment of carnations, to be in readi- ness for McKinley day. The Violet King. Bodman M. Eisenhart, of Torresdale, Pa., is generally recognized as the lead- ing local grower of double violets. For over a score of years Mr. Eisenhart has produced double violets of the finest qual- ity; first Queen Louise and now Lady Campbell. In the good old days when Marie Louise was grown to perfection around Philadelphia, Mr. Eisenhart gained his reputation, and when the ravages of disease attacked this standard variety so that it could no longer be grown profitably here, Mr. Eisenhart transferred his loyalty to Lady Camp- bell, now the standard double violet in and about Philadelphia. He has one large range of seven houses entirely planted with Lady Campbell violets. The plants are all field grown, carefuUy lifted and replanted in the fall into the violet beds in this range. They have suffered, as all violets here have suf- fered, from the warm weather imme- diately following their replanting, but they are now producing fine flowers and bid fair to do better as the season ad- vances. A number of small houses, requiring less heat, are planted with single violets, intended not only for the flowers but also to afford foliage for the doubles. Among the single varieties Princess of Wales is favored. Luxonne, though a good sort, is on its last year, as a new strain imported from Germany by J. D. Eisele is considered promising. It has a pleasing habit, with flowers of deep, rich color, borne on long stems. Mr. Eisenhart claims that the violet requires even greater care than any of our other standard varieties of flowers, the least infringement of nature's laws being instantly resented. He points with just pride to his record of many years as a successful violet grower, believing 28 ■•?■ ■ • .a"^ The Weekly Florists^ Review. Febbuaky 4, 1909. 59WabasK Ave American Beauty Per doz.

It would be impossible to give any- thing but a good report of the trade for the last two weeks; business during this period whs the best it has been since the holidays. Dull weather has prevailed throughout the month, and its effects, on the rose crop especially, have been most noticeable. Therefore it was utterly im- possible to meet the demand for roses, while the carnations also fell off to a certain degree; still they were quite plentiful, though not equal to the de- mand. There was an unusual amount of funeral work last week and caJlas and longiflorums were used in abundance, with a good call for Romans, narcissi, jonquils and violets. Taking all things into consideration, business during the month of January was encouraging and far better than that of January, 1908. The darker shades of carnations sold well for AIcKinley day. The outlook for Si. Valentine 's day is good. Orders are being booked and violets seem to be the most popular flower on this occasion. January 29 and 30 one of the fiercest blizzards Dayton has witnessed for a long time swept the city. Various Notes. The Florists' Club held its regular monthly business meeting at the estab- lishment of J. F. Young. H. H. Eitter has a large wedding decoration for this week, and has no com- plaint to offer in regard to last week's business. The Miami Floral Co. has in the last year been experimenting on cold storage lilies, and has made it a point to have thom all the vear around. This has been The grow found to be a paying proposition, company finds it does not pay to Harrisii and has cut them out, on ac- count of so many of the bulbs being dis- eased. H. D. Eohrer, of Lancaster, Pa., was a visitor January 18. From here Mr. Rohrer went to Richmond and New Castle, and thence to the carnation show at Indianapolis. The Dayton Floral Co. reports that during the last ten days business has been most satisfactory, having in that time used 20,000 carnations alone. Some elaborate floral designs were put up. James Wolf, formerly of the Wolf Ventilating Co., of this city, was brutal- ly murdered on the night of January 24, at Columbus, O. Mr. Wolf, having severed his connections here a few years ago, went to Columbus to accept a posi- tion in a nut and bolt factory. Some time ago he caught his arm in the ma- chinery, which resulted in the loss of his fingers. After this the company gave him the position as night watchman, which position he held until the time he was murdered, for the small sum in his pocket. While interested in the Venti- lator factory Mr. Wolf traveled through the country putting up the machines, and was liked by all in the trade. A number of Dayton florists have been bumped by what we term a hobo florist, who gives his name as Fred Herzog. He is of German descent, medium build and has a heavy mustache. He tells a heart- rending tale of hard luck and has ap- pealed to several of our local florists for work, and in many cases it has been given him. He keeps his position for a short time and appears to be an honest man; but at a time when he has a good opportunity to get the best of his em- ployer financially he disappears and is not seen afterwards. We have since heard that he has been to other towns and carried on the same kind of busi- ness, so it is cur wish to warn our fellow tradesmen to beware of him. We have had plenty of chances to buy things lately. Among the visitors were: Mr. Lembke, with W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago; Geo. W. Cohen, with Wert- heimer Bros., New York; A. Eolker, New York; Chas. F. Meyer, New York; C. F. Harrison, with the Pulverized 30 ^■■J*^'-. '![' r;^/.. The Weekly Florists^ Review. ■.■'''.'- ',■ I- ■ ' ''■ ' ■ '*' " >'" ' a/' ' ■ ', Fbbruary 4, 1909.

The Market. We are at; present having some real winter weather, but there is work enough so that everyone can keep hustling and keep warm. Weddings seem to be more in vogue again; at least, there has been more call for flowers for weddings than since before the holidays. Funeral work has also been calling for many orders. The local wholesale houses have been receiving some fine roses, with the quality improving daily. In pink the La De- troit is at present carrying off all honors. Bichmond and Bhea Beid are both good in reds. Carnations are a little off crop, but this is offset by the generous supply of bulbous stock arriving daily. So far the latter is cleaning up without any trouble. There has been a good demand for the fine double Mt. Clemens violets. Green of all kinds is plentiful. McKinley's birthday created only a slight demand for carnations in this mar- ket for local use, but shipments for this day were heavy, especially to Buffalo. Club Meeting. Detroit will have one of the important fall shows of 1909, if the action taken at the club meeting February 1 results as is expected. Arrangements have not yet been begun, but everyone was told to get ready. On motion of J. F. Sullivan, the club endorsed William Dilger for park com- missioner. A petition for submission to Mayor Breitmeyer was drawn up for the signature of the club members. The sick committee reported George Backham seriously ill. H. Knope is get- ting along nicely. Various Notes. At a recent meeting of the Florists' Club a vase of carnations of the Har- lowarden color attracted considerable at- tention. These were August Von Boese- lager 'a new seedling, Clara. The blooms shown gave every promise that the vari- ety was a good acquisition and worth further consideration.

After two weeks of spring weather we are visited now by the tail of the bliz- zard which is raging all over the coun- try. The most of the florists' green- houses down here are not exactly con- structed to face zero weather and when a fierce, cold, north wind penetrates through every crack of the house, we have a hard time to keep at least a comfortable temperature inside, even if the thermometer registers only 32 .de- grees outside. Plants in gardens have been so far touched very little, the weather having been dry the few previous days. At the annual meeting of the Danneel Park Commission, Charles R. Panter was elected superintendent. M. M. L. RANDOM JOTTINGS. W. A. Wettlin, of Hornell, N. Y., says business was swifter when his town had a longer name and he thinks the city fathers made a mistake in abbreviating it. He keeps up a fine showing and, with the arrival of the robin, looks for a re- newal of good business. W. Ordway, of Hornell, has rented part of his store to a piano concern, rightly believing that music and flowers harmoniously commingle. A. H. Woeppel, of Corning, N. Y., has the material for two additional houses and the choice of a fine frontage upon which to erect them. He has a ten-acre tract that is likely to become very valu- able in a short time, as the town is growing in his direction. He grows Richmond to perfection and is also quite successful with Marie Louise violets. Miss "Woeppel is a floral artist of local fame. H, N. HoflTman, of Elmira, N. Y., says the United States Cut Flower Co. had the best December in its history and that the demand since that time has been steady. His home plant is in ex- cellent shape. Richard King is the able foreman and Charles Edgar the well- known shipper at the U. S. Co. 's exten- sive establishment. The new carnation, Marchioness, will be largely planted in this locality if it behaves as well as it does at home. It is a fine shipper. M. Carthage, Mo. — C. H.

Ark., is an all-the-year- round resort; 5000 population and many thous- ands of wealthy visitors: many fine hotels, but no florist. A local store is now selling $50.00 per week of lettuce and parsley shipped in from greenhouses at Carthage and Springfield, Mo., the nearest places where flowers may be had. The city needs a florist: everyone will help him. We have a piece of property in the heart of the town that James Gurney, of St. Louis, says is Ideal for a greenhouse. Will give a long lease at favorable terms to a sober, industrious man who thoroughly understands his business, and who will come here, build and manage a greenhouse; every assurance of success.

Market garden trade is reported to be opening up in good shape. Mail order houses in the seed line are satisfied with January receipts, and the outlook for February is hopefut Some varieties of muskmelon, notably the much-called-for Osage, are scarce. Monte Cristo watermelon is also hard to get hold of. Visited Chicago: Wm. Hagemann, New York; Harry A. Bunyard, with Arthur T. Boddington, New York; A. J. Pieters, Hollister, Cal. There seems to be enough seed on hand to supply all the onion set growers, notwithstanding that a largely increased acreage will be planted, if reports are reliable. Late as is the date, considerable quan- tities of Grerman valley pips still are ar- riving. On the boat from Hamburg reaching New York January 26 were 187 cases for H. F. Darrow and eighty- four cases for Vaughan's Seed Store. Word comes from California that most of the seed growers have had a touch of the troubles incident to high water. Not only have the farms "up the river" been flooded, but the ditches in the val- ley are reported to have overflowed. In the matter of a consignment of Scarlet Globe Forcing radish, exported November 28 by Vilmorin, Andiieox ft Co., Paris, entered at Boston, the apprais- ers added the cost of packing, but did not advance the invoice price of 75 francs per hundredweight. The senate committee on agriculture at Washington, January 3, ordered a favorable report on the bill to prevent the adulteration of insecticides, substan- tially as published some months ago in the Eeview. Violations of the act are punishable by fines ranging from $200 to $1,000, or by imprisonment, or both. LouiSvniiE is due to be heard from in the onion set situation. If, as is sup- posed, Louisville is pretty well sold out and has none hid away, prices of sets will go higher than they went last year. From all reports, onion sets have kept well and the shipments are giving good satisfaction to the purchaser. At Chi- cago, shipments are being pushed for- ward. The wholesale seedsmen report good business. There is a great hustle on to get out the orders so that the smaller merchant will be in readiness when his time comes. There is a good deal of complaint at the long delay in getting the appraisers' hands off of articles that C. C. NORSE & CO. 48-56 jackaon St.. Sail FraiiclscOy Cal.

BKRGKB U CO., 70 Warren St. New York Me''*'on The Review when vou wrifj the year in the view of a good many seedsmen and nearly every grower and jobber of note seems to be on deck to meet customers. Many have their wives and families with them. Creditable seed exhibits are made by the Leonard Seed Co., D. M. Terry & Co., J. B. Kice Seed Co., S. D.' Woodruff & Son, Everett B. Clark Seed Co., and others. Each of the firms who make the canners' trade a specialty have two, three or more rep- resentatives looking after their interests. Some of these representatives have badges on their coats, so that the canners at- tending can see at a glance who to go to when desirous of placing an order for peas, corn, tomatoes, etc. The energy displayed by these representatives would indicate that the canners are decidedly worth going after. It is remarkable how great an increase in the quantities of seeds needed by canners has developed in the last three years and there seems to be no sign that it will decrease. Unlike many conventions, this one's activities are centralized in one place — the big armory. Here is a veritable beehive of mechanical development, the large drill shed having been converted into an immense cannery, where almost every process known to the industry is exemplified by various types of ma- chines. The machinery exhibit is said to be the largest and best, and the facilities for display the most complete the asso- ciation has ever held. In the assembly hall of the armory the formal sessions of the convention are held. This year, these will be less elabo- rate than in former years, in order that the machinery exhibit may claim more attention. The scant time given for in- spection of machinery has been a matter of some complaint in years past, a fact which the committee on arrangements has carefully heeded, much to the satisfac- tion of the seedsmen present.

HAARLEM'S JUBILEE SHOV. The Holland bulb growers and nursery- men will celebrate the fiftieth anniver- sary of their trade organization by a jubilee exhibition at Haarlem next year. The opening date is March 23, 1910. Consequently it will be open before Eas- ter, to be closed after Whitsuntide (May 15). The show will be divided into a permanent exhibition in the open and three temporary shows in buildings. The cooperation has been obtained of Bos- koop, Aalsmeer and other important hor- ticultural places av'x the show will there- fore afford a splendid opportunity of giving a complete idea of Dutch horti- culture, especially as far as bulb culture, nursery stock, trees, shrubs and flowers are concerned. The first temporary show is to be held at Easter time, the second about the middle of April, during the flowering season of the bulb fields, and the third in the first days of May. Prince Henry of the Netherlands has consented to be the patron of the exhibition. Queen Wilhelmina and the Queen Mother are patrons of the society. Jacksonville, Fla, — C. A.

The Market Trade conditions do not change and the continued dullness causes the retail- ers to do considerable complaining. Boses of all kinds are scarce. There is plenty of bulb-stock, however, .and violets are a continued glut. Conditions gener- ally are not pleaaant to write about. Various Notes. Miss Carrie Jordan has purchased the market stand formerly owned by John Foss, in the Pittsburg market. George Huscroft, of Steubenville, O., has the sympathy of his host of friends in the loss of his mother. Mrs. Huscroft was one of the oldest and best known residents of Steubenville. She leaves her husband, three sons and two daughters. The sons are all connected with the flower business. Hoo-Hoo. MILWAUKEE. Established In 1587 FLOJUST t657'l659 Btfckingbam PUce L. D. Phone 658 Lake View CHICAGO The Market The bright, spring-like weather of Monday and Tuesday brought all stock, which was retarded by the dark days of the previous week, into the market by the middle of the week, and it looked as though- there might be an oversupply. But things took a decided change, for on Thursday it again became cloudy and by night we were treated to a blizzard, which delayed traffic and put telephones out of order. This was followed by a fall in the temperature. By Sunday the market was well cleaned up in all good stock, and most of the growers report a steady increase in quantity from then on. Various Notes. All arrangements for the Florists' Club dance, February 11, have been com- pleted and, to judge by the numerous tickets already disposed of, the affair promises to be a grand success. The committee in charge guarantees every- body a fine time, so do not miss it. The storm of last Thursday and Fri- day caused considerable damage with some of our growers.

The loss is reported to be quite heavy. Gust Mueller, of the Mueller & Schroeder Co., at the northwest end of the city, reports the loss of fifty lights of glass. Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, who re- turned from the Indianapolis carnation convention Sunday morning, also missed quite a bit of glass, destroyed by the storm. C. C. Pollworth's team, which makes the trip from the greehouses to the store, got stuck last Friday and did not reach downtown till all the stock was frozen. The Holton & Hunkel Co. says that bulbous stock is coming in heavily and that there will be no let-up for some time. E. O. AMHERST, MASS. E. O. Orpet, of South Lancaster, gave an instructive talk before the floricul- tural classes at Massachusetts Agricul- tural College January 27. Mr. Orpet spoke of the history of orchids, with spe- cial reference to the rapid increase in their production by American growers during the last ten years. He also cov- ered the cultural problems in a clear, con- cise manner, and showed the blooms of many specimens, which gave the students a splendid idea of differences in genera and species. The hour proved too short a time for the consideration of the sub- ject, and Mr. Orpet met the students in- formally in the evening and answered many questions regarding orchid culture. February 3 George Sinclair, of Holyoke, spoke on chrysanthemum culture. The observation trip January 30 was to the extensive commercial range of A. N. Pierson, at Cromwell, Conn.

Wide-awake nursery- men are sowing more and more Pinus Strobus each year, to enable them to help fill the coming rush of orders. The British government has decided to plant 9,000,000 acres of land with for- est trees, the work to be spread over a period of eighty years. It will furnish employment for 17,000 men each winter, it is estimated, and will eventually yield an income of $7,500,000 to the govern- ment. Real lumbering operations will not commence for forty years. A COMPANY to be known as the Willis- ton Fruit & Nursery Co. has recently been organized at Williston, N. D., and has acquired a tract of irrigated land, a large part of which will be planted the coming season. The object of the com- pany is to grow small fruits, as well as all kinds of nursery stock. The head of the company is an experienced nurs- eryman. The nursery is located about a mile north of Williston, a city of about 3,500 inhabitants, near the State Experi- mental Farm and in the heart of the big Williston irrigation project, which is being installed by the United States Reclamation Service. The soil is fertile; the transportation facilities are excel- lent, both by rail and by water, and there is an exhaustless supply of good coal in close proximity. TENNESSEE NURSERYMEN.

[Gardening In California — Landscape and flower, by John McLaren, superintendent of Golden Gate park, San Francisco; A. M. Robin- eon, San Francisco, publisher; price, $3.75 net.] This is a notable volume of 400 pages, with 154 illustrations. The author opens with a chapter on location of a site for house and garden and follows with in- structions on planning the grounds. Then appear nine planting plans, covering va- rious sized plots from a lot 25x120 feet up to a ten-acre tract. The chapter on construction of roads and walks, prepar- ing the ground and planting and trans- planting is especially valuable, giving the results of many years of experience in dealing with adverse conditions in Golden Gate park. His notes on the va- rious trees, shrubs and plants are ar- ranged alphabetically under the various headings, and in each case cover the special uses of the subject, in what situ- ation it does best, with what others it most satisfactorily combines and in con- clusion it gives a brief description of the method of propagation. In the chapter on the water garden there is some practical instruction on the forming of ponds and lakes. Under the heading "Sand Reclamation" is a valu- able record of the author's experience in turning a thousand acres of drifting sea sand into the present beautiful park. Being exposed to the full sweep of the winds from the Pacific ocean, the sand drifted like snow during heavy gales. To bind the sand was the first problem. After several grasses and shrubs had been tried, success was achieved through the use of the sea bent grass, Amo- phylla arenaria, the seeds of which were imported from France.

The Market Not in twenty years has this part of California received such a bounteous supply of rain as has bedn sent to us this season. During the first twenty-five days in January it rained on all but two days, and although the showers have ceased somewhat the end is apparently not yet. The effect has been disastrous to the retail trade. There has been prac- tically no transient trade, as the crowds that usually throng the sidewalks on pleasant afternoons have been noticeable by their absence, and most of the busi- ness has been done by telephone. The weather conditions have moderated, how- ever, and although it is a shade colder, the rain has lessened somewhat. Carnations are not in heavy supply; neither are roses; but the demand is so light that the retailers have considerable trouble in disposing of even what they do receive. Paper Whites and other sorts of narcissi are in large supply and move slowly. Daffodils are more plentiful and sell well. Quantities of yellow flowered acacia and Japanese quince are being used in decorative work, and green stuff of all kinds fills the bill when a cheap effect is desired. Funeral work, which usually is rather brisk at this season of the year, is rather a thing of the past with many retailers. And the absence of funeral work always is felt in the market for the best grades. DAHLIAS standard varieties for cut flowers.

But One Right Way. The best system for training hothouse tomatoes is one point in tomato culture upon which there is no longer any differ- ence of opinion among experienced grow- ers. There is but one right way and that is the single-stem method, allowing the plant to grow up like a tree and keep- ing all branches nipped but as soon as they are long enough to catch with the point of the scissors. It is not neces- sary to leave branches for the fruit to come on, because the fruit clusters or blooms grow right from the main stalk, like a leaf. « All the branches would bear fruit, also, in the same wAy, but a single stalk with five to ten clusters of fruit on it is all that one plant can support to good ad- vantage. Plants allowed two or three stems instead of one require more time to get to bearing, on account of the larger family the root has to provide for, and a three-stem plant takes up just the same space on the trellis as three single-stem plants. Only so many stems can be crowded into a house, no matter how many stems are allowed to each plant. Largest and Earliest Fruit. The fruit will also be a trifle larger, as well as earlier, where the single-stem system is used. Eecent experiments where plants in the same house were trained to one, two and three stems proved that the single-stemmed plants were earlier by starting to ripen two weeks ahead of the two-stemmed plants. The three-stemmed plants were still later by over a week, and neither the two nor the three-stemmed plants yielded as large fruit or as many as two or three single stems did in the same house at the same time. Several different varieties were used in the experiment. This training question is always before the growers, because there are always beginners who want to know just which is the best method. Most growers plant their tomatoes out one row to a bench, with the plants about a foot apart in the row. Some varieties require a trifle more room, on account of large and heavy foliage. Benches six or seven feet wide will ac- commodate two rows of plants. Methods of Wiring. The plants may be trained up a string by stretching a wire above the row and another along on top of the soil, and tying twine (four-ply jute is best) from the upper wire to the lower one, for each plant, as in stringing smilax. The plants will grow about six feet tall. Another good way is to stretch several wires one above the other, a foot apart, like a fence, tying each plant to each wire as soon as up to it. This method is be- coming more popular. Some growers practice topping the plants when they have set five clusters. This sends the strength to the fruit al- ready set and matures it more quickly, and at the same time it will branch out Early Tomato Is a wonder. It is MAKING GOOD wherever ^rown. If you grow tomatoes for eafly market you should use it. If you grow tomato plants as a side line (there's money in it), it will make you a reputation. It is very early. It is a fine bright scarlet. It is just the right size and shape. It is the finest all-around tomato ever introduced. It holds its size clear to the end of the season better than any tomato I have ever seen.

It is important that the little shoots or branches be removed when very small. It will also be necessary to trim the points off some of the leaves where they lap over leaves on the next plant, but trimniing the leaves too hard will cause smaller fruit. H.

The increased demand for flowers has stiffened the prices consider- ably. Various Note*. At the annual meeting of the local florists, which occurred "Wednesday even- ing, January 27, at the salesroom of S. N. Peck, on Summit street, much inter- est was shown in the new carnations which several eastern and western repre- sentative firms had on exhibition. S. N. Peck showed a fine Philadelphia lace fern. Mrs. E. Suder is convalescing from her recent illness. During the Eeinhart exhibit, at the Museum of Art, Mrs. E. Suder furnished the decorations, while Miss Helen Pat- ten furnished the sixteen corsage bou- quets. The town has been full of Holland bulb salesmen. Geo. A. Heinl had the decoration of the Ketcham-Beynolds wedding, a no- table social event. H. L. S. MARYVILLE,MO. Everything points to a good spring trade here, and January has been even ahead of December in volume of busi- ness. The severe storm experienced here Jan- uary 28 and 29, blowing from fifty to sixty miles an hour, and even worse at other points in Missouri, ranks aa one of the longest in duration here, and must have been very destructive to some in the trade. Alfred Engelmann, however, is glad to report a damage of only about $1.50, caused by about one dozen panes of glass being broken and cracked in his estab- lishment of 10,000 feet of glass. P. Mergen was not so fortunate. He lost a valuable plate glass window in the front of his store and had five rows of glass taken out of the center of his rose house. The wind crushed in through the north side and then took out the glass on the south side as well, thus cutting right through the house and putting it out of commission. A. E.

MY MARYLAND This new rose, which was introduced last season in a limited way, has proved to be one of the best rosea ever introduced. Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the largest, most progressive aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties for indoor cul- ture; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

GLEN COVE, N. Y. The annual dinner of the Nassau County Horticultural Society drew an enthusiastic attendance January 27. Over fifty were present, including many New Yorkers and representatives from Westbury, Eoslyn, Locust Valley, Floral Park, Huntington, Great Neck and Oyster Bay. President Eoosevelt is a member, but was unable to attend. The festivities lasted three hours and were full of interest to the close. The first prize, a magnificent silver cup given by Rickards Bros., New York, for the best average exhibits of the year, went to Henry F. Meyer, of Glen Cove, and V. Cleres won the silver medal donated by ex-President Adolph Jaenecke. Mr. Jaenecke, on retiring from the oflSce of president, was presented by the members with a beautiful pearl and diamond pin. The retiring secretary received a fine fountain pen in recognition of his faith- ful work. The new officers are: Presi- dent, Jack W. Everett; vice-president, James Elmsie; recording secretary, Henry Gaut; corresponding secretary, William McKenzie; treasurer, Ernest Brown. The society is only four years old and already has a membership of 150, nearly fifty having been added in 1908. There were speeches, songs, story- telling, dancing, violin and piano solos, recitations, etc., in abundance. The pro- gram was a splendid one throughout. J. A. Shaw, of New York, was toast- master and kept the artists busy. The talent included the Eickards brothers, the Messrs. Davis, of the Glen Cove Echo, and the editor of the Examiner in con- gratulatory addresses; Andrew "Wilson, of Summit, in song, dance and story; Scotch and other songs by Charles Eussell and William Armstrong; addresses by Mr. Maynard, on "Society Organiza- tion " ; W. J. Sperling, of the Stumpp & Walter Co., on "The Ladies"; George Burnett, on "Seeds"; Al Eickards, on ' * The Commercial Traveler ' ' ; violin solos by Eobert Angus, of Tarry town; an original poem by Oscar Adore, and interesting talks by Olof Blomburg, of Franklin, Pa., Alex. McKenzie, Jack Ev- erett and Adolph Jaenecke, the latter announcing a scheme whereby the society may have its own home in which to cele- brate at the annual dinner of 1910. J. A. Shaw.

L The Market The scarcity of cut flowers and the great demand for them during last week caused a big jump in prices at retail. On Friday, in addition to the accelerated demand for carnations, apropos of Car- nation day or McKinley day, the public schools of this city held their semiannual graduation exercises in the grammar, grades, and many baskets and bouquets were used for the occasion. There are sixteen grammar schools which sent out a class, the aggregate number of gradu- ates being 600, and as the number of floral pieces would average at least one for every second scholar, the florists were kept pretty busy. The prices received for bouquets ranged from $3 to $5, while baskets brought from $5 to $10. Car- nations the same day retailed at 10 cents, 15 cents and 20 cents apiece, and even 25 cents for extra fine stock. The price per dozen was from $1 to $2.25. Various Notes. A visit to William Hay's range last week found his new rose house, 45x85, in excellent condition. This is planted to Killarney, Kichmond, Bride and Brides- maid roses, and his daily cuttings are astonishing. The flowers are among the best and find ready sale at good prices.

Rooted Carnation Cottiflgs of Quality We (trow Carnations primarily for cut flowers. We srrow them cool. 48" to 50" nffirhts, 66° to 60" day temperature, with air on at all times, except the very coldest nights. Plenty of fresh air and cool houses gives us fewer, but larger, better colored flowers on stroDc stems. We feed our plants but sparingly The varieties do not "run out" with us, as you see them on so many places, but are now better than they were the first year or two after their introduction. As our plants are never forced by high temperature or high feeding, our rooted cuttings are naturally stronger, and worth more to the man that grows CarnatioDs for the cut flowers, than cuttings taken from plants grown in a high temperature or unduly forced by high feeding. We have the following varieties to offer : Per 100 Enchantress $2.60 Rose-pink Enchantress 2.50 Winsor 250 Victory 2.5(1 White Perfection 3.60 White Enchantress 4.00 Per 100 Sarah HUl $6 00 Pros.

Stock is not overplentif ul ; there was a scarcity of pink roses the latter part of last week, and a good deal of out-of- town stock was shipped in, especially carnations. McKinley day was well ob- served and all stores report a good carna- tion trade. It no doubt would have been much better had it not rained all day. Most of the windows displayed portraits of McKinley, with carnation decorations. One F street firm found several custom- ers waiting in the rain for the store to open to get their McKinley carnations. Tulips are arriving in quantity. There are plenty of azaleas, but they are not much in demand. Varioug Notes. J. H. Small & Son have a large vase of fine forsythia in the window. Thomas & Sly, of the Center market, had an all white dinner for Mrs. Nich- olas Longworth, using Harrisii and white lilac on the table and white flowers throughout the house. They also had several good sized weddings on last week. Gude Bros. Co. had the Fairbanks din- ner. The table was done in Bridesmaid roses and white lilac. They also had the Berliner-Wasseman wedding at the New Willard. The rooms were banked with palms and blooming plants. The break- fast table was done in pink azaleas, En- chanter roses and white lilac. J. H. Small & Son had the Gridiron Club banquet at the New Willard, Jan- uary 30. The gridiron-shaped tables Avere done in carnations, roses and spring flowers. Vernon Ley has closed his Fourteenth street store. Chas. Norton has closed his store on Mt. Pleasant avenue.

Knopf A grand variety; comeB 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. Description:— The color of Mrs. Chas. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. The flower is 4^ inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal with stiiTness that gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stiffer, it keeps and 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 habit is ideal: closely resembles Enchant- ress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the field or inside all summer. Likes a temperature of 50 to 52. The stem is 24 inches and over, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet sent out and is boimd 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 3 to 3^ 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, 50 to 52. Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 80 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up the fiower 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; 25U at 1000 rate.

ROOTED CUTTINGS: Ready February delivery Cincinnati, Oliio 62 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Febrdabt 4, 1909. ERIE, PA. Current G>inment* McKinley's birthday was observed here January 29. There was a large de- mand for carnations in all colors. The florists had their windows decorated ap- propriately. Baur's had the martyred president's picture framed in a wreath of magnolia, with Lawson carnations and Sprengeri ferns in vases. Offerle & Schaal had the American flag twined around McKinley's picture. J. V. Laver had pink and red carnations, with an ap- propriate inscription on a card. Business has been brisk, with several parties and two large funerals this week. A friend of the institution remem- bered the Erie Academy with a large box of Lawson carnations January 29, so each student could wear one in honor of the day. California violets are much in vogue here at present and the quality is good. W. J. Beautus, representing the Day- ton Paper Novelty Co.; S. T. Fletcher, representing S. A. Weller, Zanesville, O., and Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayers- dorfer & Co., were in the city on busi- ness last week. Arthur Nyberg, who defrauded Vern L. Schluraff while managing the latter 's store in Conneaut, O., has been captured in San Diego, Cal. He was formerly a resident of Erie and had been employed by Mr. Schluraff since his childhood, at first as errand boy, then as a trusted em- ployee in Mr. Schluraff 's local store, and at last he was given charge of the Conneaut store. It was while thus em- ployed that Nyberg is said to have passed fraudulent checks, victimizing Mr. Schluraff and several Conneaut mer- chants to the extent of $500. Chief of Police Tinney, of Conneaut, laid a trap for him, which he evidently walked into without suspecting the result. B. P. Jess Frost has resigned his position as assistant foreman for the Baur Floral Co. and in the near future will erect a house 20x100 to start for himself. Mr. Frost has many friends in Eochester, N. Y., his former home, as well as in Erie, who will wish him success. Albion, Mich. — M. & S. L. Dysinger say 1908 was the best year in the history of their business. Their downtown store has proved a success. I FEEL that I cannot get along and be up to date without the Eeview. — W. H. H. EiDDLE, Butler, Pa.

The florists, therefore, have been busy. Outside of funeral work, however, business has been as usual for this time of the year. Al- most everything in white flowers has been used. Some beautiful funeral work was turned out for the Rev, Father James P. Barry. Koses and carnations are of fairly good quality. Bulbous stock is in good supply and demand. Green goods are in fairly good demand. Potted plants, also, are selling fairly well. Various Notes. Honaker The Florist had a beautiful window calling attention to Carnation day, in the way of a large picture of President McKinley, draped in black streamers and bordered by wreaths of red. The window called forth much fa- vorable comment. Miss Lyle, designer and saleslady for William Bell, has been out of town on a business trip. S. S. Kelley is cutting carnations of gfood quality. James P. Keller continues to be busy with funeral work. August Leclere has been busy prun- ing trees on the grounds at the asylum. Blue Geass. MOSCOW, IDAHO. J. L. Bourn is doing a good business, both wholesale and retail, from his greenhouses, which are located right in the city. He started three years ago and has kept adding to his place until he now has over 10,000 feet of glass, de- voted to growing cut flowers and lettuce, as well as potted plants, bedding plants and forcing buiDs. Mr. Bourn finds a good market in his own city, which has a population of 6,000 and is the site of the State Uni- versity. The surrounding country also gives him a good market for his produce. Jackson, Mo. — Arthur Braun, of the Braun Bros. Maple Lawn Fruit Farm, was married January 22, at Mount Car- mel, 111., to Miss Emma Baumgardt, of that place. Mr. Braun left here Sun- day, January 17, ostensibly for a trip into the Ozark fruit region in search of apple trees. East Indian ORCHIDS -No Greenhouse.

THE NEEDED BOILER CAPACITY. Please state what capacity of brick- set, return-flue boiler will be required to heat, by steam, to 50 degrees in zero weather, the following range of houses, located in New Mexico: Four connect- ed houses, 25x120 feet each, seven feet to the eave line and twelve feet to the ridge, with glass in one end and in the sides of the outside houses to within three feet of the ground; also six con- nected houses, each 20x160 feet, both gables glass, same height as first houses mentioned. B. H. I. One sixty horse-power boiler, or pref- erably two thirty horse-power boilers, should have sufficient capacity for this plant. L. C. C. HEATING A FRAME. 1 should like to offer a few sugges- tions in connection with the inquiry from T. H., in the Keview of January 14, page 72, in regard to the heating of a violet frame. The circulation in a hot water system is almost identical with the draft in a chimney. In the latter case it is simply hot air rising and being replaced by cold air, which may be drawn up or down according to the power generated by the hot air, rising in the upright stack or chimney, in hot water circulation the principle is the same and the drawing of the return water uphill, so to speak, is accomplished by the power generated in the upward flow of the hot water in or just after leaving the boiler or heater. Therefore it is quite feasible to circu- late hot water in a loop below the heater "DETROIT" w^SEr^ffb-'** ^mf*^ Automatic Return Steam Traps A Positive F.ct^or^^^^ Fof Stcatn Heated Qreenhouses **Detroit*' Traps will keep entire system free from water at all times, making every foot of heating eurface hot and efficient, returning automatically all water -of condensation directly into the boiler — hot — and 'without a pump or injector.

If it is closed and can be heated, as stated by T. H., there should be no diffi- culty in heating this violet frame, even though it is lower than the tank or heater, by carrying, say, a 2-inch pipe from the top of the tank up to a point about two or three feet farther above the tank than the frame is below the tank; put- ting on a return bend tapped for %-inch pipe for a small expansion tank, running down with the same size (2-inch) pipe and connecting with the coil in the frame, which in turn is connected with the lx)ttom of the heater. If possible, see to it that it is downhill from the re- turn bend at the top of the riser to the return end of the coil, and then up to the bottom of the heater. The circula- tion generated in the heater and riser, and in the corresponding down pipe, will cause the water in the coil to circulate, and the higher this riser is carried above the heater the more rapid the circulation in the coil will be. The small expansion tank, connected at the top of the riser pipe, will free the system from any air or steam that may be present. E. Q. MiLFORD. •TWO VIRGINIA ROSE HOUSES. I expect to build two connected rose houses, each 42x280 feet, nine feet to the gutter and eighteen feet to the ridge, with a cross section walk in the center of each house. Kindly let me know what will be the best way to pipe them for steam heat. I never carry over ten l)ounds of steam. What size and how many pipes should be used for flows, and also for returns? I shall use raised benches. The outside temperature here seldom gets below zero ; possibly once or twice in winter it will run about 5 or 6 degrees below. D. G. G. Each of the houses 42k280 should have not less than twenty-two lines of 1^-inch pipe, and twenty-four lines would be a little better. These can be fed by a single 4-inch main, carried under the ridge, or by two 3-inch flows, one under each purlin about halfway between eaves and ridge. L. C. C. INDIANAPOLIS. Just as soon as the last of the visitors had left Indianapolis the weather took a sudden change and by noon, January 29, was a young blizzard, that kept in- creasing till, on Saturday, it was full grown, the temperature at 10 degrees, with a high wind, that gave the firemen a hard time. The strong wind lifted a corner of A. Wiegand & Sons' conserva- tory and loosened a few panes of glass. With quick work it was soon secured and further damage averted. Business during the week has been good, all seeming to be busy. The city florists' monthlv meeting will be iieid February 10. at Waihalla hall. S.

As may be supposed, the growers caught it pretty strong. It was hard to keep the houses from freezing up with such a wind blow- ing, and several report small damage from frost, but, taken all together, it did not amount to mueh. The cold snap has had a tendency to shorten the supply of stock and, as a are a little better There is a slightly with not so much market was kept business was much consequence, prices than last reported, better demand and, stock coming, the cleared out well and more satisfactory.

The Market Cut flower trade has been fairly active and shipments have been well used up. Indeed, there has been room some days for larger supplies of roses and carna- tions than have come to market. Carna- tions, however, are now coming in more abundantly. Violets are in greater re- quest than for some time, notwithstand- ing the fact that those from the south and from the vicinity of Poughkeepsie, N. y., almost immediately lose their fragrance when the boxes are opened. There have been numerous dinners, luncheons, receptions, etc. The demand created by these, with the customary fu- nerals and hospital needs, has kept up a well distributed activity. The weather has been like April and May. There has been no frost in the ground for the last ten days, which is very unusual for this time of the year. The temperature ran up to 64 degrees January 25. This kind of weather is not favorable to the best kinds of flowers. January 30 we had a touch of the bliz- zard, which swept down on us from the north, with heavy winds and with occa- sional snow flurries. Sweet peas are a glut and have been so for some time, and the Exchange is stocked up with large quantities, with few takers at any price. Mignonette seems to be losing its popularity, as it does not last long enough to suit some of the trade. Various Notes. John Cook, the originator of My Maryland, is to give a talk on that rose at the next meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, February 8. This is also to be carnation night, and it is ex- pected that some of the newer varieties from out of town will be on exhibition. A visit was paid to Richard Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., at White Marsh, Md., January 24, where is to be seen one of the finest known collections of geraniums, which are being shipped away in large orders, over 20,000 being shipped in one day. The stock is in the pink of con- dition. All stock is being sold out of 2-inch pots; no rooted stock out of sand is sold. Preparations are being made for one of the largest stocks of dahlia plants that this firm has ever grown. All of the geranium cuttings are potted up as soon as made, as this is considered one of the surest methods of rooting them. Whole benches can be seen with very few blanks, which proves this to be the best way to propagate them at any season of the year. Q.

Y., aptly describes White Killarney as the queen of the twentieth century, and he intends making it the standard white rose for next season. He is en- thused with the grand success that his former confrere, Alex. Montgomery, is having with it at Waban, and will not be content until he has it growing here to even greater perfection, and that is going some. Everything is being grown here in the six-cipher column. George. Heelas has the store looking even bright- er than ever, and rightly attributes the good sales to a constant supply of the best and freshest going. Fred A. Dorman, of Jamestown, has been able, in spite of quiet times, to build a handsome dwelling and has one of the snuggest plants in this section. Eliot Worden, of Jamestown, has the best trade in the east end and intends spreading out soon. Thomas Bussell has a big trade in bedding plants at Brooklyn Heights, Jamestown. He has purchased a large tract of land and may build a range of glass of King construction. The trussed-roof house recently built by D. E. Herron, of Olean, with cement benches and walks, will be copied as a model. It is 22x160 feet. J. V. Laver, of Erie, Pa., is com- pleting two houses, 45x135 feet, with cement benches. This gives him a big range and is eydence of increasing busi- ness. Vern Schluraff, of Erie, has laid out the grounds surrounding his houses. The title of Floral Park is well applied. William Honeysett, of Erie, has the finest stock of Princess of Wales violets in this locality and nas no trouble in getting top prices for all he can pick. The Eobb Floral Co., of Erie, makes a fine showing of outdoor stock through the season. J. H. Dann & Son, of Westfield, N. Y., are recognized as the banner growers of asparagus on the lake shore. Their ad- vertisement in the Classified Department of the Eeview has repaid them many times over. Their stock is clean and bushy. M. Lowell, Mass. — Senator Hibbard has introduced in the senate a bill, accom- panied by a petition from this city, for a law permitting florists to deliver flow- ers for funerals, churches, etc., on Sun- day mornings up to 11 o'clock. The bill is the outcome of the recent edict o{ the police department compelling the florists to close on Sundays, and from the fact that it is introduced it would appear that the police were right in their contention, despite its unpopularity.

LOUISIANA RED CYPRESS , ''The Wood that Won't Rot'' Described by Basselt A Washburn, Chicago, III. "Replying to your favor requesting onr experience with Pecky Cypress, we will say, we have been using; this grade of Cypress in our Greenhouses and plant benches for the last ten or twelve years and bo far have not found anv of this wood that has all rotted out. We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock only lasted about four years, while so far we have had no Pecky Cypress rot out in ten or twelve yeais. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactoiy. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose. BASSETT & WASHBURN."

Ealer, Sec'y, Saddle Biver, N. J. Talks on Cypress No. 1 Every florist should know the various grades of cypress lumber. If you expect to get the best, you ought to find out what the best is. When a log is brought into the saw mill it is cut up in several thicknesses and grades. Whatever is free of sap or defects is put in the "tank" grade ; that which has a little sap and a few knots is put in the " Ist and 2d" grade; boards that have sap all over one side, or are unfit for "Ist and 2d," are called "selects"; then comes No. 1 common, No. 2 com- mon, "shop," cull, pecky, etc. Only one of these many grades is used for greenhouse material— the "tank" grade. All the lumber that we use is this grade, and to make sure that no sap gets into our material, we have an expert that goes over each board and each sashbar before it is shipped. A little sap is found in all grades of cypress, but less is allowed in the tank grade than in any other. You cannot be sure of sap-free material because it is made of "tank" cypress— it must be inspected by someone who knows— before and after it is made up— at the mill. Don't take chances, but get your greenhouse material from people that guarantee the cypress to be free of sap. Get our catalog before you build again and then get our prices.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* ROSE GROVING AS A BUSINESS. [An abstract of a talk by William H. Elliott, Brighton, Mass., before the class in floriculture M the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Am- herst, January 20, 1909.] No business is really better than grow- ing the queen 6f flowers. There are many reasons for this. All the reasons why we ought to be farmers apply •equally well to rose growing, and under more favorable conditions. The best location for a rose business is the very best place in the world to live — out in the country, with easy access to the city. What I suppose you would like to know is how much capital and knowledge is required to place a man in such a posi- tion and to securely maintain the busi- ness. How much knowledge is really needed? All possible knowledge is best, and many of us have had little at the start, but out of what you know and what you think you know, you must bring forth confidence and courage. Combining these with your best judg- ment and with enthusiastic, ceaseless and untiring industry, you will then have a chance to drive on to success. While ■cultivating your roses you should also attend to the cultivafton of your courage, ■as you will find this is the most important of all the qualifications leading to busi- ness success. Capital and Site. Capital is like knowledge — a large amount is very desirable — but what I suppose you would really like to know is, how small an amount can be made suffi- <;ient. The cost of rose houses is about 50 cents per square foot of ground cov- •ered. From 3,000 to 5,000 feet would be required to produce sufficient income to support a family. From that you can €asily figure for yourself the capital re- quired. Land is a serious and vital question, and one that needs careful consideration before it is decided. A small farm with a large mortgage is the answer to the man with limited capital. A heavy clay soil I consider best, but good roses are grown on all kinds of soil. A broad, level field facing the south, with as good protection from north and west wind as possible, is required for a greenhouse site. Within reach of town or city water is best. If this cannot be had, the kind of home supply would need to be con- sidered before locating. Near the rail- road station saves time and money. Just as good roses can be grown on a $500 farm, if the soil is good, as on one that coats ten times as much. Greenhouse building, I presume, has been thoroughly covered by speakers who have addressed you before. The Best Roses to Grow. The market you have for the sale of your product should decide the question whether you would grow summer roses or the winter-blooming kinds, or both. Of the winter-blooming kinds. Bride and Bridesmaid have been the standard for many years. Bridesmaid has been large- ly replaced by Killarney, and White Killarney will soon replace Bride. The varieties I have planned to grow for next season I am grafting at the present time. They are Killarney, White Killar- ney, Richmond, Beauty and a few Perle, Safrano and Bon Silene. These I find the best winter bloomers. For summer, I grow Kaiserin, Carnot, Beauty and Killarney. i have tried many kinds of pink roses for summer. Have not as William H. Elliott. yet found any that are very satisfactory, and have had to use Killarney for that purpose, although it is really a winter rose. Grafted Roses. I grow all my roses on Manetti stocks, except Beauty and Perle. Grafted plants cost about three times as much as own root plants, but of most kinds they are greatly superior. You can also cut an extra crop from grafted plants, which will more than pay for the difference in cost and leave you much stronger plants. We graft from 100,000 to 150,000 plants each year. A strong, vigorous-growing stock is needed to produce the best plants. The scions should be selected from the best wood and from the best plants. These plants are grown mostly in benches three and one-half feet wide, three rows of plants tp a bench, with soil from three to five inches deep. Soil and Planting. Soil is prepared with the greatest of care and in the most thorough manner. A good clayey sod is plowed four to five inches deep, and carted on to a hard piece of ground, where it is dumped and spread about six inches deep. One load of cow manure to every three loads of sod is spread over the top; then, with the use of the disc, harrow it until it is thoroughly pulverized; then bone is added, the finest ground bone being pre- ferred; proportions about one part bone to fifty parts of soil. Planting is done in June and July. Plants are set about fifteen inches apart, in soil about six inches deep. These are given clear water during the sum- mer. In the fall, wo start the liquid ma- nure. For this purpose I use cow ma- nure only. The only rule I have about the strength of it is to make it as strong as I can. The plants are thoroughly watered about once a week through the winter. Chemical fertilizers I have not used very much. What I have used have not proved satisfactory. The great secret in rose growing is to give them enough to eat. Cutting and Marketing. Eoses are cut twice daily before they are very open, great care being taken to get them all in the same condition. All the roses from both my New Hampshire and Brighton greenhouses are shipped into Boston daily. Ordinary kinds are graded into about eight different grades and sold to the stores and through the Boston cooperative market also. A great effort is always made to have a large supply when the market is short of flow- ers, and as small a supply as possible when the market is overstocked. Income. A great variation in the income is caused by the success or failure in the cultivation and also by the popularity of the varieties grown. We aim, however, to produce each year 50 cents per square foot of ground covered; not the amount of bench space, but the whole amount of the ground covered. This return should yield a good profit. I have had returns run as high as 75 cents per foot, and other years as low as 30 cents, the latter producing no profit at all; the former would produce a large profit. I hope any of you starting into this business will always have the good fortune to have the larger return. CUTTINGS DECAYED AT ROOTS. I am sending you two rose plants which were taken from the sand thr^ weeks ago. Will you analyze the soil and kindly tell me what is the trouble, if in the soil or notT I have 2,000 like the sample and am at sea as to what is wrong. The roots, you notice, have decayed. They have received nothing but fresh water, that we know of. J. xv. F.

While these soils are far from being ideal rose soils, they are still capable of producing good young stock and also, with the proper admixture of fertilizers, of growing good flowering plants. The quality of the soil is not the cause of the roots decaying. BiBES. i i^^ fi^^i^^}^^ ifeST igisnsj^La^JSLa^La^L; THE RETAIL FLORIST ^^ THE ROSE CRESCENT.

The illustration on page 7 is repro- duced from a photograph of a design used by the Elks at Joliet, 111., in whose clubhouse many a visiting flo- rist has been entertained. The design in question was conceived and executed by Albert C. Eott. All members of the order will appreciate its significance and appropriateness. The design can, of course, be made of any stock which is available, but much of the effect will be lost if the wreath is made too solid; better loose sprays of boxwood with the flowers on stems of some length, so that the arrangement will appear light and graceful rather than heavy. Mr. Bott has used white lilac, when in season, for this design, with ex- cellent results. A BOATWRIGHT DECORATION. The recent visit of E. H. Harriman to Augusta, Ga., gave to the Boatwright Floral Co. the largest order of the year — the decoration at the Country Club for the banquet given by the Augusta Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Allan Bbat- wright directed the work. Southern gray moss and graceful vines covered the ceiling and formed a can- opy over the heads of the guests. Nu- merous pink-shaded lights emphasized the delicate traceries of moss and vine and shone with a soft and witching glow. In the center of the ceiling, where the garlands of misty gray and glistening green were drawn together, an immense wreath of pink and white carnations was suspended and fastened with a bow of rose colored chiffon that looked like an immense fluttering butterfly. In the corners of the room the fes- toons of vine and moss were caught with rose-colored lights. Forming a back- ground around the places of Mr. Harri- man and the speakers was a bank of lilies, ferns and palms, and over the mantel, just opposite, was another beau- tiful bank of the same flowers and foli- age. Huge white and gold pedestals filled in the spaces between the windows. and were surmounted by banquet vases bearing tall lilies and ferns. The cen- tral ornament of the banquet table was an immense gold basket, which stood on a circular mirror. This was fiUed with Bride and Bridesmaid roses and long sprays of asparagus. On the handles of the gold basket were great gauzy bows suggesting butterflies like the one in the center of the ceiling decoration. The ends of the tables were decorated vrith the same gold baskets filled with pink and white roses, only of smaller size. Smilax was garlanded over the table, allowed to drape the ends and sides, while violets were scattered with apparent carelessness over the board. Besides the long table, which filled, the length of the Country Club hall, were a number of smaller ones adjoined, and upon each of these were low bowls of pink and white carnations, garlands of smilax and scattered violets. The adjoining cafe and smaller din- ing room were decorated on the same general plan, but with a variation in the color. The red walls of the cafe gave the color note in this room. Bed lights glowed among the green vines and draperies of gray moss. The man- tel in this room was artistically deco- rated at one end with a high vase of silvery birch bark, filled with red car- nations, and at the other with a unique and beautiful twig basket from which poinsettias, in their cardinal brightness, shone. In the center of the mantel was a large bowl of Bichmond roses. RETAILERS WANT NOVELTIES. That the leading retailers more and more are coming to appreciate the need for novelty is clearly in evidence this season, according to S. B. Wertheimer, who has in the last few months visited the best stores in most of the large cities. "I never have seen a time," says Mr. Wertheimer, "when there was so keen an interest in new articles. Of course the smaller stores are still con-' tent with the staples in all lines of sup- plies, but the leader in each town seems to at last be wide-awake to the fact that to hold the lead something must be offered that is not to be had in every other store. The reputation of being a season ahead of the rest of the town is the best sort of advertising for a flower store, and a good many retailers have found it out. Good novelties in the way of accessories for use with flowers are not so easy to pick up, and anyone who has a really good thing now has only to let it be known to get all the business he can conveniently handle."

I have a lean-to greenhouse sixteen feet wide, sixteen feet high at back, but only four feet high in front. I want a walk in front against the side, which will necessitate an excavated walk. The posts are down three feet in the ground. How should I support the house? Will there be danger of its sagging over, there being no supports in the middle of the house f I have another house I would like to alter in the same way, a twin house seventy-eight feet wide and sides four feet high, but the posts are only two feet deep. This house is supported at the ridges, but I fear to dig beside the posts. J. M. I would advise putting a line of supports down the center of each house. This can be done easily by using ordinary gas pipe. It will be necessary to dig out a little under each foot piece and lay some bricks or flat stones to rest them on. In the case of the wider house, where the posts will be entirely uncov- ered, you will require to jack up the roof a trifle and dig out under each post so that it rests on a solid foundation of brick or stone and cement. W. PRESERVING GREENHOUSE WOOD I read with interest the article on "Preserving Greenhouse Wood" in the Eevjew of January 14. Can you inform me as to the merits of Carbolineum for preserving wood, especially benches in greenhouses! Has the U. S. Forest Serv- ice experimented with itf This material is sold by Bruno Grosche & Co., 5 Jones Lane, New York. They ask, in a circular sent me last August, $9 for a 10-gallon can of S. P. F. Car- bolineum. I would like to know whether the material is worth this, as a preserva- tive for greenhouse benches. Among other testimonials they state: "The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station at New Brunswick, N. J., says on page 252 of its report on preservation of greenhouse benches: 'Sixteen beds were treated with tar, creosote, white- wash,, cement, copper sulphate, etc. When the soil was removed the untreated benches were decayed from one-fourth to one-half the way through the boards. The boards treated with cement, white- wash, tar and creosote showed consider- able decay, while those treated with S. P. F. Carbolineum were in decidedly the best shape.' " About thirty years ago and more, my father did a good deal of "Kyanizing" with greenhouse timbers. I cannot state at this time how much it prolonged the life of the wood of those old greenhouses. I do know, however, that an outdoor arbor supported by 3x4 hemlock posts, planted in the ground about thirty years ago, is still standing on the original posts. These posts were soaked in a solution of mercuric chlorid, but I can- not tell you now, for how many days. The solution was considered strong enough when it would blacken a silver spoon. About thirteen . years ago I built a cheap greenhouse, supported by 3x4 hem- lock posts. The butts of these, or por- tions in and to a distance above the ground, were soaked in a solution of mercuric chlorid for about a we«k, I think. The past summer we had to splice most of these posts. Whether being inside a greenhouse or different treatment made these rot quicker than the arbor posts is a question. For the last three years I have been An Elk's Desiga. painting or brushing crude petroleum oil on heart cypress benches. Last sum- mer the first treated did not show any signs of rot, but of course we would not expect heart cypress to rot in three years anyhow, as the whitewashed boards are also good. Has the Forest Service experimented with crude petroleum as a preservative, either by soaking boards in it or brush- ing one and two coats over the surface! How does it compare in eflSciency with Carbolineum? Of course the former is much cheaper, about the price of kero- sene. I may state that my father found out that Kyanizing wood made it more brit- tle. It would snap off easier than un- treated wood. A, J. Pennock. ROOF AND BENCHES. Will you kindly tell me which would be the best kind of roof for a greenhouse thirty-five feet wide! Also the best ar- rangement of benches for the above size of house! J. W. S. The roof which will give you the maxi- mum of light is an even span. You would get a smaller air space by having a double roof of the ridge and furrow style. This would, ■ however, give you more shade and you would not save much in the way of fuel, as the houses with the bigger area heat the easiest, the temperature also keeping more uni- form. A ridge and furrow structure will grow good plants, but an even span one you will find will beat it. Some large growers are giving their houses a longer slope to the north than the south, claiming that it gives better winter results. For a house thirty-five feet wide the best arrangement will be to have a path two feet wide along the sides of the house and have five benches, each five feet wide, with a path one and one-half feet wide between them. Do not make any benches along the sides of the house. You can care for the plants much better when you can walk along each side of the benches, besides giving them the needed headroom. W. SECOND CROP ON STEVIA. Could you tell me how to get the sec- ond growth of flowers on stevia! We have a few hundred large plants, from which we have cut the flowers. We had occasion to buy some late last year and got some from our wholesale house, which looked much like second growth of stevia. F. & F. It will not pay you to attempt to get any second crop from stevia. What flowers you might, perchance, get would amount to little. The stevia you got wag probably held back in a cold north house. In such a place it can be kept back until even the middle of February. All it needs after housing is to be kept just clear of freezing. C. W. Northampton, Mass. — F.

FOR VINTER FLOWERING. An Oppof tanity Neglected. The popularity of zonal pelargoniums as bedding plants and for use in piazza or window-boxes and vases, shows no fall- ing off. No other flowers can compare with them for these purposes, and the introduction annually of many new and unique varieties keeps the public appe- tite whetted. But the culture of ge- raniums, entirely apart from the bedding sizes so much in demand in May, is stiU rather limited and could be profitably ex- tended by many florists. Such geraniums as are seen in bloom during the winter months are customarily of such sorts as Double Grant, Alphonse Eicard and a few other double varieties. Bright and attractive as these may be, they sink into comparative insignificance when placed alongside the well grown plants of the better varieties of singles, more particularly those known as the English round-flowered type. Some of these are not successes bedded out, but others are good alike outdoors and under glass. All are so much inore beautiful than the doubles and flower so much more profusely that it is surpris- ing to find so few grown commercially. Any florist who can work up a stock of this type of geraniums for spring trade can readily get a fancy price for them. I have in mind a florist in a city of 30,000 people, who propagated a large quantity of these singles a year ago, and in May his customers preferred them to the old type and were willing to pay fifty per cent more for them. This experience is not exceptional, and not only will this class of geraniums sell bet- ter in spring, but there is a wonderful opening for them as winter-blooming plants. At present they are but little seen and the varieties are mostly old- fashioned. Wide-awake florists, who have seen well flowered single geraniums, state that they would have no trouble in Belling them at good prices. Having had occasion in December, 1908, to send sev- eral batches grown in 6-inch pots to charity fairs in Boston, it was noticed that the geraniums were eagerly snapped up, while Lorraine begonias, cyclamens, azaleas and poinsettias were neglected. This would seem to dispose of the hack- neyed argument tftat geraniums will not sell in winter. Of course they will sell, if they are properly grown and the colors are what people want. For December Sales» Start Now. To secure a good lot of geraniums for blooming in December, 1909, the cuttings should be started about the end of Feb- ruary. Let them dry a little in the sun before potting them and trim oflP the leaves quite closely. Use 2-inch pots for each cutting, and for compost a mix- ture of loam, leaf-mold and plenty of sand will be found suitable. Stand the little pots closely together on a bench over hot water or steam pipes, where they can get the benefit of some bottom heat. Give one soaking of water and then apply it sparingly until the cut- tings are rooted. Never use any shade; full sun is required. Do no spraying overhead and a small proportion only will fail to root. Shift to 3-inch pots. At this stage use no leaf-mold. Later shifts can be given into 4 ^^ -inch and 6-inch pots. The latter size is a con- venient one to flower the plants in, un- less extra large specimens are desired. It is an advantage to have the pots well matted with roots at flowering time. This prevents undue leaf growth at the expense of flowers. For the final shift a compost consisting of two parts fibrous loam, one part dried cow manure, some sharp sand and a dash of bone or Clay's fertilizer will be found about right. Press the soil firmly in the pots at the final shift and, as the flowering time advances, keep the plants toned up by occasional doses of liquid manure and topdressings of such highly concentrated fertilizers as Bon Arbor or Clay's. Some pinching will be necessary to keep the plants shapely and a few stakes may be needed as the flowering sei^son advances. I have found it better to grow the winter geraniums under glass all the time. When stood outdoors, if the weather should happen to be drench- ingly wet, the foliage will spot badly. No drying off is necessary to success- fully bloom these geraniums. To have them follow chrysanthemums and be in good shape for Christmas, discontinue pinching the shoots at the beginning of September, and let flower spikes remain after the end of October. A house kept at 50 degrees at night, with a dry at- mosphere and plenty of sun, will suit geraniums admirably. Plants carrying ten to twenty trusses per pot of such sorts as Paul Crampel, Jacquerie, Max- imo Kovalevski and Eeformator would be preferred to poinsettias by nine custom- ers out of ten. Some Good Sorts. A selection that has proved satisfac- tory for winter flowering is as follows: Paul Crampel, brilliant scarlet, unsur- passed for both pot culture and bedding, 6-inch pots of this variety, if well grown, will carry fifteen to twenty big trusses of flower; Eeformator, a heavier grower than Crampel and dwarfer in habit, color reddish scarlet, makes a fine pot plant; Maxime Kovalevski, a strong grower and free bloomer, the flowers are dazzling orange scarlet and a mass of them is very effective; Duke of Bed- ford, immense trusses of rich crimson colored flowers, the individual florets two and one-half inches in diameter, one of Geranium The Sirdar. Fbbbuabt 11, 1909. The Weekly Florists^ Review. Geranium Pink Domino. the finest of the English round-flowered type; The Sirdar, big, perfectly formed, bright scarlet trusses, very vigorous; Juste Olivier, striking, crimson rose shaded orange-red, big trusses carried on strong stalks, keeps a week in good con- dition in water; Cannell's Crimson Bed- der, dark crimson, immense flowers; Claire Albaine, pure white, large trusses, a vigorous grower; Emile Zola, one of Lemoine's finest introductions, makes a superb plant, very floriferous, color rich salmon orange, one of the finest gera- niums in commerce; J. M. Barrie, light rosy pink, immense individual flowers, one of the finest of the English round- flowered type; Ian Maclaren, color salmon orange, shaded with white, of same habit as EmUe Zola, makes a su- perb pot plant, one which takes every visitor's eye; Pink Domino, a pleasing shade of rosy pink; Jacquerie, still hard to beat, either for pot culture or bed- ding, the immense crimson scarlet trusses produced on strong stalks, an ideal Christmas variety; one or two improved Jacqueries are advertised for the com- ing season and, if better than this good all-around sort, must be very fine. The list of varieties can be extended almost indefinitely, but the foregoing list will be found to contain nothing but strictly first-class sorts, which should take well commercially. So many fine new sorts are being sent out annually that it will pay wide-awake growers to try a few having colors likely to prove popular. W. N. Craig. BULB CULTURE IN THE SOUTH. [A paper by Richard Elchllng, of New Or- leans, read before the New Orleans Horticul- tural Society, January 21, 1909.] In refereace to the heading of this article, I must state beforehand that the methods of forcing and growing of the various bulbs hereafter mentioned are only adaptable at a latitude of from 31 to 29 degrees. Of the diflferent bulbs imported for either forcing or growing purposes, I have found the following the most profitable in our southern climate: 1. Hyacinths, Roman White and Dutch Miniature, single and double, in named varieties as follows: Baron Van Tuyll, white; Norma, shell-pink, Gigantea and Gertrude, bright pink ; Cardinal Wise- man, red; Grand Maitre and Chas. Dickens, dark blue; Queen of the Blues, porcelain blue. 2. Narcissus Paper White, Trumpet Major, single yellow; Von Sion, double yellow. 3. Freesia refracta alba and candidis- sima. 4. Calla .^thiopica. 5. Lilium Harrisii and longiflorum giganteum for winter and spring flowers, and such as lancifolium album, roseum and rubrum and Lilium aureum for spring and summer. 6. Iris Hispanica, British Queen, white; Formosa, purple; Louise, laven- der, and Belle Chinoise, yellow. 7. Tuberoses, single white. The storing of the bulbs after their arrival is very important. The most suitable place is a well ventilated, dry room, provided with sufficient shelves alongside the walls. In case of severely cold weather, a safeguard against freez- ing must be provided for. In placing your bulbs on the shelves, make not more than five layers, to prevent them from getting heated, and keep a watchful eye on your stock during winter and espe- cially toward spring, to discard all the softened and spoiled ones. Hyacinths and Narcissi. 1. Homan Hyacinths and Narcissus Paper White, Trumpet Major and Von Sion can either be planted in the regula- tion bulb boxes for early forcing, or in the coldframe in parallel rows a half inch apart from side to side and one inch apart from top to bottom, with a cover- ing of an inch and a half of soil. Cover the frame with boards in such a manner that the rain may run off. After the growths are about four inches above the soil, remove the boards and replade with well fitting, clear sashes. Ventilate ac- cording to the temperature; a board covering during frost is sufficient. Romans and Paper Whites planted in the coldframe about the middle of August will be in bloom by Christmas or New Year, the latter named even before that, about the middle of November, providing the weather has been favorable; but to be sure it is best to have your Christmas stock of Romans planted in boxes, so you can give them greenhouse heat if neces- sary. From January 1 you can pick con- tinuously the same kind of long-stemmed, large white flowers, as if they had been forced indoors. To be always provided with fresh flowers, plant your bulbs in intervals of about two weeks up to the first of February; later than that is not advisable, as the bulbs then begin to get soft and produce short stems, with small flowers. 2. Hyacinths, Miniature Dutch and Narcissus Trumpet Major and Von Sion, grown in a coldframe in the same way as mentioned above, will yield very satis- factory results, saving time and money. Hyacinth and narcissus bulbs planted in boxes should be placed in a high, shaded spot, free to the north winds; covered with charcoal dust or light soil about four inches thick. As soon as the growths appear above the surface, bring your boxes inside and force them ac- cording to your necessity. If over- stocked, bring your flowering boxes into an airy, cold and well shaded place and water sparingly between the rows; the coldframe stock in such a case shade with trellis shutters. From the time your bulbs are planted, either in boxes or in the coldframe, never allow them to get dry. Any loamy soil, mixed with one- Geranium Reformator. M The Wc^y Florists' Review.

Freesia refracta alba and candidis- sinia, the last named a newer pure white variety, should not be planted before the middle of September in boxes, the cold- frame or in the open ground. With the coldframe process I obtained the best re- sults, saving time. I had fine, long- stemmed flowers in season, and found that the bulbs had greatly increased in number. Freesias planted in boxes should have a watering of liquid manure once a week after the buds are formed until in bloom. 4. Calla .aethiopica can be profitably grown in pots, raised benches or solid beds. If grown in pots for selling pur- poses, IV^-inch to 2-inch sizes are good enough, but for the cut flower trade, 2-inch to 2i^-inch is better. For the former use a 6-inch pot and for the lat- ter a 7-inch or 8-inch, as the size of bulb demands. Crock your pots well, use a medium rich soil and plant so deep that only the tip of the bulb protrudes above the rim of the pot. Put the potted bulbs in a cool house under the bench, and water •well. Keep them somewhat dry until partly rooted and the growths are from six to eight inches long; then place the plants on the bench about eight inches apart from pot to pot, both ways. Give them a layer of old cow manure, a free supply of water, and during sunny weather a frequent syringing. Eenew the manure layers occasionally and, as soon as your plants have about four to five well developed leaves, water once a week with liquid cow manure. Never allow more than four to five leaves on the plant, as each additional one takes part of the strength from your plants, as well as from the the flowers. Callas grown on the bench or in the solid bed should be provided with a good drainage, the soil made somewhat richer than for potting purposes. With the watering be more careful; the moisture will remain longer and the danger of your plants rotting off is greater. When in full growth, feed in the same way as is done by pot culture; likewise cut all unnecessary leaves off. Plant the bulbs neck deep and from eight to ten inches apart. Use a well ventilated house and give a night temperature of from 55 to 60 degrees. It is best to plant fresh bulbs every season; carried over stock will not even justify the labor of potting or planting. Lilium Harrisii and Longiflorum. 5. Lilium Harrisii and longiflorum giganteum are real money-makers when successfully grown and brought into the market at the proper season, especially at Easter. During the last ten years that I have been growing Harrisii in the south, I came to the conclusion that the success depends a great deal on the con- dition of the bulbs and the proper house after the plants are about one foot high. As soon as the stock arrives it should be planted and placed either in a cool house under the bench or in a deep coldframe, and in the latter instance covered with boards. Select your bulbs according to size; plant seven- by-nines one in a 6-inch pot, and in case you get five-by-sevens, two fives in a 6-inch pot. Crock the pots well. Use a little old cow manure on the bottom, which will help the young grow- ing plants considerably, and have the bulbs covered with one and a half inches of soil, which allows the top roots to get a good hold and adds to the feeding of the plants and buds later on. Any good half-rich loam will do for potting. After the growth is about three inches long, take the plants from . under the bench and coldframe and place in a cool, half -shaded house or frame for about ten days, to get the plants accustomed to the light and to stiffen up. After that, grow them on in the open coldframe until it is time to bring them inside for forcing, and expose those growing in the house to the full sun. Water carefully, pot by pot, only what is getting dry after the bulbs are planted, but never let them get dry after the plants have once a good root-ball, and on sunny days syringe the growing stock well. Plants about two feet high can easily be brought into the forcing house under, a night temperature up to 75 degrees, but keep the plants always well syringed by day and twice during the night. To all plants of such a size, it does not mat- ter if in the forcing house or not, give a manure watering once a week until the buds begin to show color. It is advis- able to harden off all plants partly in bloom and not used immediately in a cool, shaded house; the flowers open slower and will last longer. If you have no facility to bring your stock of bulbs intended for later planting into cold stor- age, make arrangements with your ship- per to send them on at your own con- venience, because lily bulbs, even if taken out of the boxes, will not keep as well as hyacinths or narcissi in our southern cli- mate. On account of the scarcity of pure, undiseased Bermuda stock, the Japanese Lilium longiflorum giganteum has to a great extent taken its place. These bulbs, free from any disease, are grown in the same manner as the Bermudas, and if kept during winter in cold storage, can be planted in a coldframe as late as the Geranium Juste Olivier. ■ "1 ■<-i.

Of !the spring and summer flowering Japanese varieties, I have found lanci- folium album, roseum, rubrum, also Lil- ium aureum, the easiest to grow, ready sellers as pot plants and very useful as fancy cut flowers. Plant your fresh stock (luring the vfrinter months; a latfe plant- ing may not give the expected results. I would not recommend the planting of cold storage bulbs of any variety during sumrafer, because they bring only from one to three flowers and a great many^ lose their flowering germ entirely. North- ern cold storage stock of Lilium gigan- teum for early winter is all right. Iris Hispaoica and Tftberotes. 6. Iris Hispanica, in the previously named varieties, cannot "be highly enough recommended as a prolific bloomer. Plant the bulbs during the middle of October in the open ground, not too low located, in medium rich soil, one inch and a half apart in the rows and about five inches from row to row, and cover them a little over an inch with soil. Give a good watering after planting. Keep the bulbs partly dry in the beginning, but, as soon as the growths start, do not allow them to get dry. The flowering season lasts from the middle of March until the mid- dle of April, which often happens to be Easter time, when such flowers are most in demand. 7. Tuberoses, single, are the only ones to plant successfully and profitably in the south. The bulbs are to be planted in rows during the month of March, either single or in clumps, according to the Stock and space on hand, in a rich soil with a facility to drain oflf during heavy rains. After the plants are grow- ing, water well during dry spells and es- pecially when they are in bloom. The flowering season lasts from July until sometimes the end of November, provid- ing we have not too wet a spring or summer, which proves always disastrous for tuberoses. The flowers of this spe- cies open freely and the spikes are more graceftil than the ones of the dotfble vari- ety. I>et the plants dry off when the sea- son is over, dig them up in clumps and store away in a cool, dry place until the 'shipping and planting season begins. Banunculus, anemones, double and sin- gle; tulips, double and single; Scilla Sibirixsa, crocus, Lilium candidum, etc., are not profitable to grow below a lati- tude of 32 degrees, because these bulbs require a more severe winter to get well rooted, in order to produce good, salable fliowers. In concluding my article, I may add that the aforesaid methods of growing flowers from bulbs in the south are prac- ticed by -me at the present time, after an experience of about three years up north and fifteen years in the south. Although this culture is very widely known, it would give me great pleasure and gratification if these few remarks would in some way or anothel* Tie of as- sistance to aiiy member of the New Or- leans Horticultural Society. EDUCATION IN FLORICULTURE. A Correspondence Course. I noticied in the Review of January 21 an inquiry by G. T. D. about a corre- spondeiioe course in floriculture, land- Scape gai'dening, etc. In reply I would say that if G. T. D, will address the Home Correspondence School, Sjitingfield, Mass., he will receive the information he desires. I have just finished taking a course in landscape gardening and found it quite a help. William Geriaoh. More Details. In the Eeview of January 21, G. T. D. inquires whether there are any agri- cultural schools that give coifrespond- ence courses in floriculture or landscape gardening. I would inform him that the Home Correspondence School, Main street, Springfield, Mass., gives one or both of the foregoing courses, or a course on carnation culture, any one of the three- for $12 cash) or $15 on the monthly payment plan — $3 down and $3 per month. The same school also has a cdurse in horticulture for $20 cash or $25 in monthly payments. I can speak from experience as to the course in landscape gardening. It con- sists of seventeen lessons, taken from Maynard 's ' ' Landscape' Gardening. ' ' .The. course Is gotten up by Professors Craig and Coit, of Cornell University. It is a great help to beginners and well worth the money. Anyone taking one or all of these courses, plus Scott 's * ' Florists ' Manual ' ' and the BBview, will be on the road to success, if he keejps his ^es and ears open and is not afraid to ask questions.

The course is given in the second .semester and con- sists of thirty-four lectures and recita- tions and seventeen practicum periods of two hours each. The Pennsylvania legis- lature at this session will be asked to appropriate about $25,000 for the erec- tion of greenhouses at the State College. With such a range, the college will be in a position to give most complete courses on all lines of floricultural work. B. L. Watts, professor of horticulture, is in charge of the department. Prof. J. P. Pillsbury is instructor in flori- culture. The course in horticulture, which includes floriculture, among many other things, provides specially for the study of the following topics: Plant Propagation. — A consideration of the methods by which plants are prop- agated; germination and testing of seeds; hard and soft wood cuttings; grafting, budding, propagation by divi- sion and layerage. Special attention is given to the methods most commonly em- ployed by market gardeners, florists and nurserymen. Greenhouse Construction. — A course on the construction and heating of vari- ous types of greenhouses used on private pounds -and hy commercial establish- ments. Among the problems considered are the forms of houses, materials used in construction; heating by flues, hot water and steam; various types of boil- ers and the installation of heating plants. Vegetable Forcing. — A study of the principles of vegetable forcing in cold- frames, hotbeds and greenhouses. Some of the vegetables considered are the to- mato, lettuce, radish, cauliflower, aspara- gus, cucumber, rhubarb and mushroom. Plant Breeding.. — A study of the prin- ciples of plant breeding and their appli- cation to the improvement of fruits, veg- etables, flowers and ornamental trees, shrubs and vines. Landscape Gardening. — The principles of landscape gardening are studied and applied to the planting and beautifying of home grounds, school grounds, parks and streete. The trees, shrubs, vines and plants on the college campus are particu- larly valuable in furnishing material for practicum work. Washington, D. C. — O. A. C. Oehmler, of the Gude Bros. Co., recently met with a painful accident while taking down a decoration. Two of his toes were crushed, but he hoped that in a few days he would be able to attend to his duties as usual. STIGMONOSE AND LEAF SPOT. I send you two shoots of my Rose-pink Enchantress. This disease started about five weeks ago and spread all over the house. As soon as the plants are affect- ed, they grow poorly. I am afraid I may lose the whole crop and shall be very thankful to you if you will tell me what kind of disease it is and what is the remedy for it. C. T. Most of the light spots on or in the foliage seem to be stigmonose, though there seem to be some spots of the common leaf spot. For the former you can do but little, except to give your plants a very moderate diet, careful watering and abundant ventilation. Se- lect your cuttings for next season's stock carefully, from plants which do not show this disease. In this way you may gradu- ally work out of the disease. The En- chantress varieties, being-ragid and suc- culent growing -sorts, . are fkst getting filled np with this disease, and, unless the most rigid selection of cuttings is practiced during the next few years, this group of varieties will soon pass out of cultivation. For the spot disease use Bordeaux mixture. You can buy this in soluble form, to be diluted to the proper strength. Apply about once each week and wash off with a fresh water spray before apply- ing each succeeding dose. Choose a bright day for this. Drop a pinch of sulphur here and there on the steam pipes, to keep the air pure and sweet. A. F. J. B. LAWSON THE SECOND YEAR. W^ hear much about Lawson carna- tions running out and are inclined to share the same opinion. But before we drop this grand old variety from our list we want to give the trade the benefit of our experience and observations of this variety grown the second season without replanting. Two years ago we had two benches that looked good to us late in spring, and we decided to run them over another season. During June we topped all the shoots that were beginning to run up to bud. We kept them well fed and prop- erly syringed and watered during the summer, and kept the-honse as oool as possible at all times. We applied a thick mulch of rich compost and l?ave the plants every encouragement to liake a good growth. The way those plants bloomed last winter was a sight to see. They started in a little late, about the last part of October, but from then on were a wealth of fine blooms on good stems throughout the winter, producing much more heavily than the first season. Our only reason for not having some of this variety the second season this win- ter is that we did not plant any new benches of it last year. One of our ' neighbors, though, has a bench in its sec- ond year this winter, which gave him the same results as we got from ours last winter. He topped his a little earlier in the season than we did, and consequently began cutting that much earlier. We would hesitate to recommend this system of growing carnations for all vari- eties, but with Lawson we unhesitatingly recommend it. Care must, however, be taken to give the best of treatment. As soon as the spring crop is off, the plants should confine all their attention to mak- ing a strong growth. We shall try this system with several varieties this coming seesoB -in -solid beds. Our plan is to top them during April and May, instead of June, and thus throw the crop earlier. Our previous experiment, as well as that Fbbbdabt 11, 1909.

TWO PIERSON CARNATIONS. At the Indianapolis convention of the Carnation Society one of the varieties to attract attention was a dark pink sport of Winsor, which originated with the P. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y. The judges gave this a certificate, scoring it 85 points. Mr. Pierson is of the opinion that this will with many growers take the place so long occupied by Lawson. The character of growth of Winsor is well known. The dark pink sport is like the parent in everything except color. This is more even than in Lawson, which will add considerably to its market value. A PierSon seedling which was well liked at Indianapolis was No. 30, white, which secured a certificate of merit, scor- ing 86 points. There seems less oppor- tunity for white carnations than for dark pinks, but at the Pierson establishment N9. 30 ia highly thought of. r...i.-?. f--' K > ^^CARNATION MAY. Csiiration May has been advertised as the most profitable for florists. I should like to know in what way. Mine are not growing much. They come semi-double and short-stemmed, but the plants were received late. I want to give it another trial next year, and would like some hints on the best way to grow this variety. M. Our finn introduced the variety May last season, and one of the strongest points we claimed for it was freodom and pi^fitablenesB. The bloom is of medium ^e, grading up nicely with Bountiful, Lawson, Victory, etc., just as we said in our ads. It is such a free, early and continuous bloomer, however, that it has been more profitable to us than the Enchantress varieties. This season, however, we have had to cut into our plants so much for cuttings that we are not getting the maximum number of blooms, by far. As to its peculiarities, we can say that it has none. All it wants is reasonably good culture. Give it a fairly early start as a cutting. Pot, plant and top just as you would any other carnation. • Lift about August 1 and let it come into bloom whenever you can use the blooms. It naturally makes a fine plant and bushes out wttl^moderate topping, and it lifts easily. ^ We have found a few plants which throw single blooms, and we try to avoid these in taking cuttings. There never have been enough of these, however, to cut any figure. We have also had a number of plants sport into a deep rose shade of color. Some came with a solid color, while most of the blooms came streaked. We have worked up a stock of some 500 plants of the solid -colored sport, which we have blooming here this season. We expect this to be our main variety in rose-pink next season, as we shall have some 5,000 plants to bench. We cite this latter feature merely to show that we really believe the variety May and its sports to be all that we claimed for May when we introduced it. We are growing about 2,500 May this year for blooming, as against 1,500 En- chantress, and we are planning about the same proportion for next season. We would not do this if the variety did not really pay us to grow. We have long ago passed the stage where we would grow a variety of our own raising just because it was our own. We grow car- nations for profit, and the most profitable varieties are what we are aiming to grow, regardless of who the raiser may be. Baub & Smith. Union, N.

With the increasing sunlight and lengthening days, pelargoniums 'are now growing quite rapidly and any which have not been shifted into their flower- ing pots should be potted as soon as possible. For compost use two parts fibrous loam and one part old dried cow manure, also adding a dash of fine bone and sand. Eam the compost in the pots firmly and be sure the drainage is efficient. Stand the plants in a cool, light, airy house and space them out be- fore they become crowded. Any pinch- ing should be discontinued after this date, or the blooming period will be late. These showy pelargoniums are of no use for bedding out, but make good house plants and will flower quite a long time on a shaded piazza if kept well watered. Their arch enemy, green aphis, must never be allowed any quarter. White fly also has a special liking for these pelargoniums. Hydrocyanic Acid gas is the only remedy. Use it on a cool night. Experience has shown that two ounces sulphuric acid, two ounces water and one ounce potassium cyanide for a house 20x50 will overcome the white fly. Leave the jar in all night, being sure to lock the door and allow no one to enter. Cinerarias. Plants of the early batch of cinerarias are now in flower. These have nice foli- age right down to the pots aijd sell well. As house plants they are satisfactory until they get an attack of green aphis. Their large, showy flowers seem to have a peculiar attraction for many retail pur- chasers. Cinerarias can hardly be grown too cool; anything short of absolute freezing suits them to a nicety. They are speedily ruined in a high temperature and simply will not stand forcing. The late batoh^ftiould now be in their flowering pots iaWGw^ the sun's rays are now getting quite strong, a light sha^e on the glass should be afforded, or, better still, a length of shading, cloth be ^hung over them. Pots well fiR^jSi^-'^jpots should be afforded liqimT^aaurd' tnce in four or five days. Go ;siow.''pn chem- icals or you will find the foliage lying down quite limp on sunny days.' Spiraeas. \ . Any spirseas wante^ for EaSter must now be moved into^l^^fit without delay. Thd common variety, '-S'. Japonl|pa, comes in JEdiead of the' other varietit* but its inferiority to stfch sorts as (Badstone, Washington, compacta and astilboides is so pronounced that many gro^trers have noTT droppi^d the old variety , and are . growing the newer sorts. Spiifeas gcowj fast in a warm house and will ' require ' spacing out frequently. They can hguf^ly be overwatered, and later in tlje season it pays to place a saucer under each one. * Go light on fumigation wheii|L.. your spirseas are growing. ReraelnlJtr that they will stand even less smoke than adiantums. Either place the plants on the floor or cover with paper, if yoti' must fumigate other plants in the house where they are growing. ! Lilies. . < How are the Easter lilies coming along? To be absolutely sure of your plants being in. on time, you should be able to see and count the flower buds the first week in March. If you can- not do this, your plants will need hur- rying. A night temperature of 60 de- grees should be allowed plants which are \ a little backward ; increase the heat 5 degrees after buds show. If any plants are already showing" buds, they must be retarded.- Do not, however, rush them from a temperature of 60 degrees to one of 40 or 45 degrees, or you will probably ruin most. of the buds. A house kept at 50 degrees wili.-suit them. As the buds open they can have a house several degrees cooler. To time lilies exactly needs a lot of care and judgment. The bulbs from one batch would flower over a space of three months if uniformly treated. Much moving around of backward plants into heat, and retarding of too advanced ones will be necessary during the next few weeks. Spray the plants overhead once or twice a day and see that they do not suffer from want of water. Do not let up on the usual fumigating, or aphis will soon cause trouble. Rhododendrons. Rhododendrons, if nicely bloomed, make salable Easter plants, the pink and white colors being the best sellers. The variety Pink Pearl, still scarce and high in price, is the queen of the family. Such sorts as album elegans, Boule de Niege, delicatissimum and floriosum make good pot plants. Cunningham's White is the best early forcing variety, coming in a fortnight ahead of the other kinds named. These rhododendrons, if placed now in a temperature of 50 degrees and syringed twice a day, will be along in nice season for Eastw. When pttiSaally expanded, they may be given cooler quarters. Kalmia Latifolia. Quite a few kalmias, or mountain laurels, are in evidence at the better class stores each Easter. Thete is no spe- cial treatpient required to flower them successfully." If the plants, which should have been well budded, were potted up in late fall, all the better, but this work can still be done. They will come into flower in seven or eight weeks in a tem- perature of 50 to 52 degrees and can be treated similarly to the rhododendrons. All these shrubs appreciate frequent sprayings overhead. Sweet Peas. Sweet peas are now growing rapidly and the length and strength of flower stems will soon reach their maximum. A night temperature of 48 to 50 degrees suits plants which are flowering. This is exceeded' by many growers, but our experience has been that quality has gen- erally been lacking where they have been grown warmer. More abundant water supplies and free ventilation will be needed to keep the vines in a healthy, growing condition. Do not pick the flow- ers in aay iiapRazard. manner. Go over certain 'rows thoroughly each day and then give them two or three days' rest. Pick the flowers clean; allow none to go to seed. Pull up any dead haulm and be sure not to neglect the ties, or twisted, unsalable flower stems will speedily re- sult. Be sure you have supports in readi- ness for the late batches. It is really surprising how fast they grow now. To secure a good, early batch out- doors, start a quantity of seeds in a cool house about February 20. Place three or four seeds in a 3-inch pot. These can later be placed in a frame and planted outdoors in April. You will get far finer and earlier flowers from seed started in this way, as compared with what you may sow in the open six weeks hence. Rambler Roses. Rambler rose plants wanted for Easter flowering should by now have broken freely and have shoots several inches long. Be sure they have a sunny house and avoid cold draughts, which will speedfly cause an attack of mildew. There will be little danger from red spider if you keep a moist, genial at- mosphere and use the ' spray nozzle on 1 ^ % _ ■ p _•] , • i^-> J '!i^y*'j^' *' [..- ^ %, Store of Buffalo Cot Flower Co., Buffalo, N.

Elevate any specially good ones on stands, being sure in such cases that they are watered carefully. A temperature of 55 degrees at night should not be exceeded for these ram- blers, if you want them to be strong and to carry large, well-colored trusses of flowers. Schizanthus. Easter is two months away and plants of the popular Schizanthus Wisetonen- sis can now go into their blooming pots. Grow them cool and airy to keep them short and stocky. Discontinue pinching. Afford one or two shoot supports. Water freely and afford liquid manure twice a week when the roots have filled the pots. This schizanthus is still much of an Easter novelty. It pleases purchasers and there would seem to be a market for more of it. A BUFFALO STORE. Jacob N. Bailey, manager of the Buf- falo Cut Flower Co., sends the photo- graph of his establishment reproduced herewith. The concern is one of the younger wholesale houses, but Mr. Bailey has had a long training in the business and western Ivlew York is steadily gain- ing importance in all departments of the flower business. Itf wsmwm STOCK PLANTS. "Will you kindly let me know how I shall tsJie care of my chrysanthemum stock plants? I am always bothered with their running up too tall before time for taking cuttings. Shall I keep them cut back I And how tall shall they be before doing so? Also, about the cut- ting of same after they are potted; how tall shall I let them grow before cutting them back, and how far from the ground would you cut them? L. A. G. The proper care of the stock plants is a subject that many florists seem to give little thought to, and yet on the condi- tion of the stock plants depends abso- lutely the success or otherwise of the next year's crop. In many places they are dropped down under the bench as soon as the room they have occupied is needed for something else, and then surprise and disgust are expressed, a month or two later, when it is found that the stock plants are either dead or making weak cuttings. Almost every florist has a cold house where he grows violets or holds back azaleas and such stock, and such a house, where the night temperature is around 40 degrees, is the ideal place to rest the mum stock. Take them up from the bench and put into flats or pots in new soil and give a good watering to settle the soil. Then put them in the cold house in a light, airy position. Keep them on the dry side and if there was any fly on them when they were taken from the bench, either dust them well with tobacco dust or spread stems around them. In such a position the plants make little growth and never run up tall, as Ii. A. G. says, but stool out so that by March there is a goodly number of fine, healthy cuttings ready to be taken. Also, the plants, not being weakened, are in shape to keep on producing good shoots. The mum, while almost a hardy plant, is never really dormant, and the low tem- perature, while not enough to induce con- ditions of growth described by L. A. Q., is still enough to keep the plant on the move. Shoots that are running up too tall should be cut back so that they will break again. The tops can be rooted if needed and potted or boxed up, and the tops of these in turn can be used for cuttings. As to how tall plants should be before they are cut down again, it is not material. If the top is not wanted for a cutting the tip can be pinched out as soon as the young plant is growing nicely, and successive pinchings will keep the plant just as dwarf as one wishes. It is a mistake to let the plant run up a foot or more in height and then cut it down into the hard wood. Such a plant does not break strongly again and the check is severe, whereas pinching the young, soft shoots does practically no harm. If it is intended to grow bush plants this pinching can be continued till late in July; in fact, must be continued to keep the plant within bounds and fur- nish more shoots; but if it is desired to grow one or two flowers to a plant it is an easy matter to take up as many shoots as are needed, say June I, and as soon as these shoots have a good headway the plant will put all its energy into them, and the useless wood at the base of the plant can be cut away. Some growers seem to think that the plants to be set out on the benches must be propagated at just such a time and moved along without any check, or pinch- ing, or anything else. While such a method may be the ideal way, it is not the only way by any means, and I have many times seen plants that had been doing duty a^ stock plants and been cut over half a dozen times go ahead and make a wonderful growth just as soon as they got their head, so to speak, and were allowed to run up for flowering shoots. C. H. T. OBITUARY. W. C. Krick. W, C. Krick, Brooklyn, N. Y., died Sunday, February 7, and was buried Feb- ruary 10 with Masonic honors. Mr. Krick was widely known in the trade as the manufacturer of an immortelle letter for use in design work, a pot hanger, and other useful contrivances. Alex Von Asche. Alex Von Asche, of Woodside, L. I., N. Y., died February 4. He was a vet- eran rose grower for the New York mar- ket and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. Alex N. Kay. Alex N.

He had acquired a wide reputation as a specialist in the ferns of the Pacific coast. He was bom in England. Hermann WiMpret. Hermann Joseph Wildpret, a well-known gardener of Teneriffe, Canary Islands, died December 18, 1908. He was born in Eheinfelden, Switzerland, October 5, 1834. Immediately after leaving school he took up gardening and served a long and vigorous apprenticeship. At the age of 22 years he left for Santa Cruz, Teneriffe. At first he occupied a very modest . position^ but his. untiring zeal and sound knowledge of floriculture soon won him the attention and qonfidence of his superiors and in a short time he was appointed superintendent of public gar- dens at Orotava, Teneriffe. This posi- tion he occupied for over thirty-five years. His influence was soon felt, not only in Orotava, but on all the Canary Islands, for he set about introducing many new varieties of plants, and im- proving and naming many which had hitherto grown wild on the islands. For instance, upon his arrival only one palm was grown in Teneriffe, namely. Phoenix Canariensis, while now one will find over 100 varieties, nearly all of which were introduced by him. But on account of his nationality, being a stranger in a strange land, he had very many enemies, who finally succeeded in ousting him from his position. Mr. Wildpret, being then well advanced in years, did not seek a new position, but went into retirement, contributing articles to the various Eu- ropean trade papers. MARIE LOUISE VIOLETS. Enclosed are some Marie Louise violet buds. Will you please tell me if the petals are white when the bud first breaks! H. W. A. The buds on all the double blue violets are of a pale color when they first appear. In winter they come even light- er than they do later in the season, and might quite naturally be mistaken for Comte de Brazza or Swanley White by anyone not accustomed to their culture. C. W.

Don't ignore a complaint; tell the man you can't do anything for him, if you feel that way, but by all means answer his letter, for the protection of your own reputation and that of the trade at large. Branches of forsythias, spirteas, such as Thunbergii and prunifolia, Cydonia Japonica and others, will open nicely if placed in water in a warm greenhouse, and make a welcome addition for win- dow or table decorations. The Cincinnati florists are good ad- vertisers and they know that nothing sells one's wares so quickly as does a satisfactory sample. So they are pre- paring to hand out to the S. A. F. execu- tive committee, when it meets in March, a sample of the hospitality with which the society will be received in August. The executive board will be banqueted. WHO NEEDS ORDERS? There are many factors which may in- fluence an advertiser part of the time, but it is actual results which influence him most of the time: Our advertisement is taking all we can pro- duce; we are working today on an order for 20,000 geraniums which we credit to the Re- view. R. VINCENT, JR., & SONS 00. White Marsh, Md., Feb. 1, 1909. .- AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. ' The spring exhibition of the American Rose Society is' to be held in the Iroquois hotel, Buffalo. The proposition is ad- vanced to make it a free exhibit ; in other words, to popularize it to the fullest ex- tent. Buffalo has a large population and Vice-president Kasting is active ; his firm will receive any exhibits sent to them. J. Rowland Cloudsley, secretary of the Buffalo Florists' Club, 584 Main street^ is appointed manager of exhibits. Special prizes have come from various parties not mentioned in the preliminary schedule which has been distributed. Vari- ous inquiries are coming concerning ex- hibits. The pot rose class seems to i)e awake. The rose is the state flower of New York. B. Hammond, Sec'y. ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION. The Illinois State Florists' Association will hold its annual meeting at Spring- field next week, February 16 and 17, The Springfield Florists' Club has been hard at work for weeks, making arrangements for the entertainment of the large num- ber of visitors who are expected. There will be a large trades display in Anon hall, and the business sessions wiU be held in an adjoining audience room. It is largely due to the work of this society that the state legislature two years ago made an appropriation of $15,000 for the study of florists' problems by the State Agricultural College, and Dean Davenport, of the State University, will be present at this meeting to tell what has been done in behalf of the trade and to outline the work in mind. It is planned to ask the legislature for an appropria- tion of $35,000 for the next two years and it is hoped the convention this year will be a specially good one, because the state legislature is now in session at Springfield and many legislators will at- tend the convention. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. This is Lincoln centenary week, with its many dinners, local and elsewhere; Valentine 's week, with its special demand for violets, and automobile show week in Chicago, with its decorations and festivities — so, if anyone with good stock fails to have his share of the business, it's because he doesn't advertise. Last week made a good record, in •pite of increased supplies and lower prices on a number of important items. Most wholesale houses had at least as good a week as a year ago, and some of them better, which is worthy of note because at this date last year business was excellent; the slump, due mostly to the financial panic, did not hit this mar- ket until the latter part of February. This week starts with a good demand in all departments and excellent prospects for the later days, when the Valentine's day special demand will become the prin- cipal factor, following the Lincoln din- ners February 12. There has been an increase in supplies FsBVLVXur 11, 1909. The Weekly Florists* Review.

The Beauty crops are going down at a date when they usually in- crease, and prices have stiffened. Vio- lets evidently are being held back for the extra demand for Valentine's day. The wholesalers all report having booked a large number of orders, but say the retailers manifest a reluctance to leave orders at more than $7.50 per thousand. The sentiment is that the best violets will be worth $10 per thousand, and perhaps more, by February 13, although the supply is sure to be large. The rose market continues excellent, although there was, at the beginning of the week, an inclination to shade prices. Maid and Bride are in better crop and long Eichmond are equal to all require- ments. Killarney is less plentiful than it was. The weather last week was un- favorable for quality and many of the roses are soft. Now we have winter again and its continuance a few days, as the weather-man predicts, will stiffen the rose market. Carnations have become almost a glut and prices are at a lower point than at any time this winter. Much of the stock is of fancy quality and a large business is being done as a result of the liberal supplies and reasonable prices; but wholesalers and growers both would be glad to see some reduction in supply and advance in average prices. White now sells better than the colored varieties. All bulbous stock is plentiful and sell- ing at low prices. Callas, as well as Harrisii, are lower. Paper Whites and freesia are hard to move. A few fancy tulips bring fair prices, but their sale is linuted. Conditions remain normal in the green goods market, except that a shortening in the supply of Asparagus plumosus in bunches has caused an advance in price on this item. Plans of Hoerfoer Bros. Much interest was created by the an- nouncement in the Review, a few weeks ago, of the big new plant to be erected at Des Plaines. The plans bf Hoerber Bros, are now suflSciently developed so that some further details can be given.

Most of the material has been purchased for ten houses 27x300. The Foley Mfg. Co. has the order and has begun running the millwork. A contract has been made for the erection of the structures with all possible speed. Frank Benthey, Jr., has been engaged as grower. He is the third son of Frank Benthey and has been at the Coatsworth greenhouses at New Cas- tle ever since the plant was started, where he has had a good training under his uncle, Otto Benthey, who is recog- nized as a first-class rose grower. Seven of the new houses are to be planted to roses and three to carnations. One of the proprietors will live on the place and, while not a florist, will give the business end his personal attention. It is the intention to add to the glass as rapidly as possible and, as soon as the production warrants, a wholesale store will be opened somewhere in the market district, though plans of this character, like cut flower prices, are always subject to change without notice. The proprietors are the sons of J. L. Hoerber, of the Hoerber Brewing Co., on West Twenty-first street. A New Maywood Plant. Henry Wagner and a partner, Mr. Haltner, both of Milwaukee, have bought seven acres of land at Maywood and propose at once to erect 20,000 feet of glass for carnations and other stock for the Chicago market.

The Florists' Club's meeting February 4 was a grand finale for the administra- tion of President Kill and a happy augury for the success of the administra- tion of President Asmus, who took up the reins that evening. The other new officers, Recording Secretary J. H. Pep- per and Financial Secretary Frank Johnson, also were installed. The retir- ing president was presented with a hand- some watch fob as a souvenir of his term of office. E. F. Winterson and George Asmus made a record by proposing ten new can- didates for membership, as follows: Emil Maerz, 242 South "Winchester avenue; Paul Kubish, 45 Wabash avenue; Frank Ayers, 396 Ontario street; F.

He said the legislature will be asked to appropriate $35,000 for the work for florists recently started at the State University. On the morning of Feb- ruary 17 it is planned to put a bunch of carnations on the desk of every member of the legislature. At least 4,000 will be required. Those who would like to contribute flowers can ship in care of A. C. Brown, Springfield. A good trade display is expected at next week's meet- ing. Certificates will be awarded to worthy novelties. After the discussion A. F. Longren booked over a dozen new members for the state society. Joseph Kohout and others commented on the Indianapolis carnation exhibition, and it was voted to make the discussion of a fall flower show a special order for next meeting. Various Notes. Word has been received that Herbert Heller, of Heller Bros., proprietors of the South Park Floral Co., New Castle, Ind., is ill at St. Vincent's hospital, Indianapolis, where he was operated upon February 5 and an abdominal tumor re- moved. After many years at the corner of . Michigan avenue and Van Buren street, 0. J. Friedman has received notice to va- cate May 1 — a skyscraper is to go up on the site. Mr. Beaumont said February 9 that Mr. Friedman had not yet decided on new quarters, a store on the Jackson boulevard side of the Wellington hotel and another on Michigan avenue being under consideration. Miss Nell M. Sisler, for many years with E. H. Hunt, is now bookkeeper for Friedman. It is reported that Wendland & Keimel, at Elmhurst, are preparing to double their plant this season.

Mr. Pfund plans to start in the nursery and landscape business.

The E. F. Winterson Co. made up a lot of special laurel wreath- ing for it. About 5,000 feet of window- boxes, almost a mile, were used. The John Davis Co. says that in any representations made to the legislature as to tlie importance of the greenhouse industry of the state, emphasis should be laid on tin value of the florists' patron- age to other representative lines. For instance, the John Davis Co. estimates that in Chicago last year jobbers sold probably $500,000 worth of pipe and fit- tings that are now doing duty in green- house heating. O. P. Bassett has postponed his trip south, in order to attend the automobile show this week. He now has only four automobiles, and feels some need of a new one.

Prices were firm and everything of value was sold in a way that indicated a healthful retail demami. Beauties were aggressive at 75 cents toi the best, and all roses were held at an advance over values that have prevailed since Christmas. Carnations were espe cially strong. Valley and lilies were firmer and orchids are .again nearer the pedestal where they belong. Even the modest violet has lifted up its drooping' head. The best sold for 60 cents per hundred February 6 and this week a top of 75 cents may be confidently expected. The windows are now gay with daffodils. Last week's cold wave was not of long duration.

Saturday evening, February 6, a party of the old friends in the trade gathered at the home of W. W. Burnham, formerly manager of the flower department at Bloomingdale 's, and presented him with an elegant silver tea service. Walter Sheridan made the speech of appreciation and good will. Many prominent horticulturists have been invited to attend the New York Florists' Club annual banquet Saturday evening, February 27, J. A. Valentine, president of the S. A. F., and Mayor Breitmeycr, of Detroit, among them. Places at table may be secured by writ- ing Chairman W. J. Elliott, Vesey street, or Secretary John Young, 51 West Twen- ty-eighth street. The tables will be al- lotted as rapidl.y as the demand is made. Already several tables and many seats have been sold. Many of the prominent retailers will be there. A splendid pro- gram is assured. This is the first time the club has had the honor of the ladies' attendance at the annual dinner. The salesmen of the Lord & Rur^ibam Co. had a gay and profitable banquet Saturday evening at the St. Denis, fol- lowing an afternoon of business discus- sion. Charles Millang says his new store is a wholesale cut flower store only. Louis Aggelakos, a prominent Greek florist at Fourteenth street and Broad- way, died February 7, following an op- eration for appendicitis. Many beautiful floral emblems were sent the bereaved family by his countrymen, especially by those in the trade. Fred Smythe left on the Mauretania last week for a business and pleasure auto tour of the continent. Mr. Smythe has just added a $50,000 nursery farm to his possessions. Charles Loechncr, of the Yokohama Nursery Co., is on his western trip. Miss Julia A. Dowling, daughter of Peter Dowling, of Thorley's, and J. R. Kennedy, cashier of the Long Island Express Co., were married February 7. The decorations were by Thorley and the wedding bouquet was the handiwork of the father of the bride. J. H. Troy is now on a business trip in England. He has added a large nurs- ery tract to his other enterprises and does a large landscape business. J. H. Walter, of the Stumpp & Wal- ter Co., returned on the Celtic Febru- ary 7 from a month's business trip in Europe. W. J. Elliott says the importations are arriving rapidly and the auctions will begin about March 15. Ambrose Cleary will open his auction department about the same date. No others are in the field, nor likely to be, in this special de- partment of the business. B. Rosens says the demand for wild smilax shows no lessening. During Janu- ary he shipped out over 200 cases. All the great decorative events of the season have used it profusely. Last week, at the Gould musicale at the Plaza, Alex McConnell made this the background for the largest display of forsythia ever seen at one time in this city. Great masses of this spring flower were every- where. Many palms and bay trees were used in the decoration. Green and yel- low were the only colors seen.

The total cost will be $15,000. Mr. Gude was over in Philadelphia this week looking up sup- plies for this decoration. At the regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Club, candidates for the various oflRces were nominated, to be elected at the March meeting. An invita- tion was received to attend the tri-city contest between the Philadelphia, Balti- more and Washington bowling teams, in Baltimore, March 11.

This terse, possibly inelegant expression exactly describes the conditions prevailing in the cut flower market. There are not enough flowers to fill all the orders. Personality, hustle, and even grabbing are requisite factors in securing enough stock to make a re- spectable showing where many flowers are required. The special features of the market are the advance in price of Amer- ican Beauty roses meriting a position in the special class; the substitution of fancy Richmond where the medium grade of Beauty cannot be obtained; the in- crease in the supply of and demand for choice spring flowers, so called, of all varieties, and the dullness in the violet market. Carnations seem less plentiful than a week ago. Sweet peas are abun- dant, and selling remarkably well, soft pink or flesh color and the lavender being' highly prized for special work. Daisies are a trifle more abundant. Acacia pu- bescens is arriving in excellent form. The conditions in the green market are un- changed. Wild smilax is in demand. A Beneficial Association. The employees of Henry A. Dreer at Eiverton have organized a beneficial as- sociation with eighty-seven charter mem- bers. The following oflScers were elected : President, James J. Flynn; vice-presi- dent, William Hoyle; secretary, Harry Betz; treasurer, Atkinson Lloyd. The dues are 25 cents a month, the initiation fee $1, which is paid by the company for all charter members. The benefits are $5 a week after two months' membership in case of sickness. This amount may be drawn for thirteen weeks; $50 is paid to the family in case of death. All ques- tions arising will be submitted to a board of nine directors. February 18 has been set as the last day of joining for those desiring to become charter members. This seems like an excellent move, and the inception of like associations should be encouraged by all large firms and cor- porations throughout the country. Sharon Hill. Alexander B. Scott has made the green houses of Robert Scott & Son a Mecca for florists. Mr. Scott has accomplished some things that make him famous today in the floral world, and one or two of these things will undoubtedly make him famous with posterity. The achievement of flowering gardenias in midwinter was not a solitary success; they have been flowered again, and even more success- fully than a year ago, the gardenia houses alone being well worth the trip. Mr. Scott's second most notable achievement is his handling of the Dickson roses, which he tests each season in a special end of one of his large greenhouses. Here all the claimants for popular favor are tried. Some are rejected, some given fur- ther trial. The aim today is to secure a first-class yellow rose (Harry Kirk has been found wanting), and a red rose that will surpass Richmond during the warm weather. Mr. Scott's fame today is in- creased by his skill with Mrs. Jardine. Killarney, Richmond and more especially Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, of which the original plants are now in their eighth year. Mr. Scott is introducing this year White Killarney (pure white), which sported with him three years ago, and Duchess of Wellington, a Dickson rose of promise. In summing up the achievements of Alexander B. Scott I must not fail to mention that he gets up a rose about as- fast as anyone I know. As I write I can sec Edward Schwartz holding up a grafted plant of My Maryland and giv ing the exact number of days (they were very few indeed) since that little piece of wood had been growing on tlie parent rose bush.

LOUIS, The Market Last week was clear and warm. At the wholesale houses everything in season appeared to be a glut; the market went all to pieces the last three days of the week. There was a fair amount of work going on among the retailers, but the supply was so great that the demand could not consume all the stock consigned to our four wholesalers. Even. roses went begging. These have been scarce up to the last week. Now there are too many in all varieties. Carnations sold as low as $10 per thousand in the fancy grades, and com- mon as low as $5 in thousand lots. All varieties were still piling up Monday, February 8. Callas are in abundance and selling slowly. There are plenty of tulips, freesias, Eomans and Paper Whites for all demands, and selling at a low price. Extra good, long sweet peas are selling well; in fact, there is a demand for them. California violets have been coming in heavily and are down to $3 per thousand for the best long-stemmed ones. The green market is in keeping with the cut flowers — plenty of everything. Various Notes. Thomas Salverson, Petersburg, III,, was a caller last week. Fred H, Weber did jury duty last week. He says that during January he had a splendid business in all kinds of work. The Gallagher Flower Shop has closed its downtown branch, at Eighth and Olive streets. The recent cold snap froze out a house of callas and azaleas. William Ossic is again on duty with the W.

FORCING EGGPLANT. Need of Variety in Crops. There are many vegetables which may be grown profitably under glass, other than those commonly known in the forc- ing class, and if growers of hothouse vegetables would indulge in more diver- sified gardening, instead of sticking to one or two kinds of vegetables, there would no doubt be better and steadier markets than we now have. Some sea- sons cucumbers are not very satisfac- tory in price and many growers plant tomatoes the next season; then tomatoes are low priced that year, and in a last hope they all put in lettuce, only to find that lettuce is a glut because every one has it. If a grower has several houses and grows several different crops, he may hit it nicely on one crop even if prices are lower on another, and if many growers would grow a variety they would find it easier to dispose of the product and there would be less chance of gluts on different vegetables from oversupply of any one kind. This is the only solu- tion of the problem of close and increas- ing competition in the vegetable forcing industry. Eggplant Easily Grown. Eggplant is one vegetable which can be forced in greenhouses easily and profitably. It requires no tying or trim- ing, and very little labor after it is well started. The most serious drawback is the length of time it takes to get a crop to bearing. It requires four to four and one-half months from the time of planting the seed until the crop be- gins to yield marketable fruit, but the plants do not occupy full space all that time. They can be held in the pots half that time and in a comparatively small space. The plants are handled much like to- matoes. The seed should be planted in flats, and transplanted to other flats or a space prepared on the bench as soon as they are sprouted and the seed leaves opened up. They should be spaced about two or two and one-half inches apart at this transplanting. When they have grown so as to seem pretty thick and are strong, healthy plants, they The Best Seeds You Have Ever Bought At The Same Prices You Have Always Paid JOHNSOH'S GARDEN AND FARM MANUAL FOR i909 By HERBERT W.

When well established in these pots, which requires about three or four weeks, they are ready to plant out in the benclies. Or, if it is desired to hold them a ^hile longer, they may be potted into 6-inch pots. It is an advantage to space the pots about two inches apart, so as to give the leaves more room to spread as soon as they commence to get thick. The Soil and the Temperature. Raised benches or solid beds will grow eggplant equally well, if the soil is properly prepared. Eggplant requires a rich, loose, well-drained soil. About one-third manure, partly rotted, and two- thirds good, black loam or rotted sod, will suit it nicely. Even the soil which the plants are potted into should be quite rich. The seed and young plants should be starte ^'P?^ ' 30 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Fbbbuaby 11, 1909.

TheMaiket For the last week the market has cleaned out in a way which has glad- dened the hearts of everyone, business having been extremely good. One promi- nent grower said it was the best he had seen for a year. Flowers are now more abundant and do not move quite so well, but, on the whole, trade is satisfactory and ^promises to remain so until Lent, when the usual drop may be expected. Roses are still somewhat scarce and bringing good prices. Carnations sell better than for a long time, even whites, such as Queen, moving satisfactorily at advanced prices. The quality of all car- nations is splendid at present. Violets are arriving much more abundantly and have fallen in price, 50 cents to 60 cents per hundred now being top price. Quite a few English primroses a^jd blue corn- flowers are coming in. These are popular for boutonnieres. Lily of the valley sells steadily. Gardenias and cattleyas both sell better than for years, and neither are any too plentiful. Lilies are moving satisfactorily, as are callas. Sweet peas continue to improve in qual- ity and increase in number. The better grades move quickly, the short-stemmed ones slowly. Narcissi and tulips are so far selling nell. A few Dutch hyacinths are seen, also poeticus and yellow jonquils. So far there is no glut of bulbous stock and prospects are good for its selling better than usual. Varioui Notes.

February 11, 1909. Florists' Club, February 16. Exhibits of new carnations from Illinois, Indiana and other states will be made. An at- tendance of 250 is expected. President William Downs, of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, received a handsome legacy under the will of his late employer, Mrs. Julia E. Dumaresq, who recently died in Italy. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. are busy per- fecting plans for their model Japanese garden, which will be the star feature of the Massachusetts Horticultural Soci- ety's spring show. They have imported a lot of material from Japan and have a frame of eighty sashes filled with plants to be used. The price of ad- mission to the coming spring show will be doubled. It promises to be far the most interesting exhibition Boston has yet held. Robert Laurie, at one time head gar- dener at The Breakers, Newport, R. I., and more recently of Providence, R. I., is now on the road for W. W. Rawson & Co. E. A. Peirce anticipates a magnifi- cent exhibition at Horticultural hall, February 27 and 28, when the Park Street market show is held there. En- tries are coming in from all parts of New England and exhibits from many other states. L. W. Ross, late of Knollwood ceme- tery, Canton, Mass., succeeds James H. Morton as superintendent of Mount Hope cemetery. The position has been vacant about six months and there has been considerable wire pulling by several candidates for the post. The new su- perintendent is able and thoroughly prac- tical. William C. Rust, head gardener to Dr. C. G. Weld, showed a superb scarlet seedling amaryllis at Horticultural hall, February 6. The bulb carried two spikes with six flowers each. Mann Bros., of Randolph, are han- dling a fine lot of amaryllis at Park Street market at present. H. M. Robinson & Co. are having a brisk call for flowers at present, and their trade in greenery of all kinds is first-class. A number of local members of the craft attended the annual banquet of the North Shore Horticultural Society, February 10, and report an enjoyable time. The trustees of the Massachusetts Hor- ticultural Society have granted the free use of the halls for the' great New England fruit show, to be held in Octo- ber. Lectures will be delivered daily in connection with this exhibition. W. N. Craig. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Advertisements under this head one cent a word. CASH WITH ORDER.

Re- cently 30,000 catalogues were sent out. H. J. Hafendorfer, Owensboro, Ky., is reported to have bought 4,700 pounds of garden seeds and 3,200 pounds of onion sets. His sales have increased largely the last three years. The lily of the valley pips still are coming along, almost every boat from Hamburg bringing a few. On the one arriving at New York February 5 H. F. Darrow had eighty-five cases and there were eighty-two cases in care of Lunham & Moore. A correspondent from Groningen, Holland, says: "The crops of radish seed for the wholesale trade are threshed and cleaned now.

From Welland, Ont., comes tlie report that A'aughan & Son have bought a site and will erect a seed cleaning plant. One canner is of the opinion that the canning industry uses more seeds in its special lines than do all the market gar- deners. The cauners' convention last week did a great deal to show up the exact situa- tion on certain lines of seeds largely used by canners. The mail trade is gathering volume in spite of unfavorable weather, particularly in the southeast, where the cold last week was extreme. « Frank L. Longley is opening a new seed and feed store at First and Kent streets, Radford, Va. He formerly was with the Jordan Seed and Fertilizer Co. There is considerable apprehension as to the results of the floods in California. There are few details available and the very nieagerness of the news may give rise to the assumption that the seed crops are in a bad way. The produce trade hears of very high water and much loss of crops on the islands of the Sacra- mento. At the canners' convention at Louis- ville last week the Leonard Seed Co., Chi- cago, showed over 150 samples of peas, tomatoes, corn, etc. Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Everett B. Clark Seed Co., and the Livingston Seed Co. each made attractive showings and everyone seemed to be talking business, even those who had no displays. It was generally considered the best convention the canners have yet had.

As reported in last week's Keview, the new instruction building and green- house range for the departments of floriculture and market gardening, at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, have been nearly completed, and Febru- ary 22 was chosen as the date for the dedication of the buildings. It has been decided, however, to postpone the dedi- cation, in consideration of the fact that it would be diflScult for florists to at- tend the exercises on a holiday that is so generally observed as is Washington's birthday. The date finally selected will be announced later. ERIE, PA. The Market. We are having some warm days and the snow has disappeared, making this an unusually mild winter. Trade is fair. The pink Killarney is getting to be the most popular rose here, with Bhea Reid a close second. Maids are in good color. Azaleas in all colors are seen in fine spe- cimen plants at present and add much to the beauty of the floral stores. Variotis Notes. J. T. Cokly, of Scran ton Florists' Supply Co.; Julius Dilloflf, of Schloss Bros., New York, and George F. Struck, of Knight & Struck, were visitors in the city last week. The Baur Floral Co. 's window is very attractive with pink Porto Rican mats and variegated azaleas. Mr. Wells, rose grower for the Erie Floral Co., will leave for the west in the near future. A brother of Arthur Nyberg has come to the front and offers to reimburse all who were recently victimized by the young man while in charge of Mr. Schlu- raff 's store. B. P. PLATTEVILLE, WIS. W. A.

Y. — On Tuesday morning, February 2, the main greenhouse plant, potting shed and office, and a portion of a new cement house of Julian T. Duquette were burned to the ground. A high southwest wind prevailed at the time. The stock in the cement house was ruined. There was no insurance and the loss foots up into the thousands. The fire started in an unused part of the potting shed and there was every indication of its being the work of tramps. /"■.■j^j,'. -i?'^;' T- Febbuabt 11, 1909.

The La Grange Floral & Seed Co, opened a store in the new Pillinger build- ing, at the corner of Fifth and Harris avenue, February 15. They will handle cut flowers, plants, seeds, etc. The firm is composed of Mrs. A. Scott as presi- dent, A. W. Baker, secretary, and Walter Scott, manager. Mr. Scott, the manager, has been in business in La Grange for several years as a landscape gardener, and his services are in great demand by Hinsdale, La Grange and Biverside citizens. PITTSBUEG. The Market The general business conditions in this city are not improving as rapidly as was expected or hoped for, and the cut flower business is no exception. Dur- ing December things seemed to brighten considerably and it was thought the worst was over, but January did not come up to expectations by any means. While the cut of flowers was short almost all the month, it was no great hardship, as had there been even a fair cut there would have been little use for them. However, the trade generally are hopeful and predict better things later. The four wholesale houses here con- tinue to get rid of what stock is com- ing in without much trouble, but they are cautious about asking fancy prices, and there is still plenty of stock for the street stands. Lilies, valley, tulips, Trumpet narcissi and violets are the most plentiful flow- ers. There are just about enough Beau- ties and roses to go around, with orchids, lilacs and carnations about right. Every- one is taking things easy and hoping for an improvement. Qub Meeting. The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- ing, with a good crowd of enthusiastic members present. President Burki and W. A. Clarke, the only members who at- tended the carnation convention, reported the convention a success in every way, the arrangements perfect in every de- tail, the courtesies shown the visitors more than was expected, and a mark set EitabllBbed In 1587 FLOMUST^ 1657-1659 Buckingham PUce CHICAGO L.

It was believed, however, that this city, owing to its central location, would get more exhibitors both from the east and west. This kind of a report stirred up considerable enthusiasm and some de- siced to have committees appointed at once, but President Burki held them off until March, to allow him time to select committees of men who expected to work, as they proposed to see Indianapolis and go them some in the next convention. The flowers of the evening, carnations, were taken up and discussed. The Fin- leyville Floral Co. showed four vases, and also their white seedling, which will be watched, as something is hoped from it. Hatch, of Allison Park, had four vases. The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. had seven large vases of handsome flowers. All of these carnations were fine and a credit to the various growers, who were all willing to tell all they knew about growing them. Frank Cooks, gardener for J. H. Parks, had six pots of freesia. Mr. Madsen, gardener for E. H. Boggs, had a vase of carnations; also one plant each of Primula verticillata, P. floribunda and P. Kewensis. Two of these varieties had never been shown here before and were so fine and well grown that, by way of encouragement to private gardeners, a motion was made to give a gratuity of $5 to Mr. Madsen. Various Notes. Nearly all of the firms who decorate met at one of the retail stores last Friday evening and took up the matter of cut- ting prices on decorations, which has been quite prevalent, owing to the strong com- petition for that kind of work. While not much could be accomplished, it was agreed that all solicitation should be by letter and no one would call on any- one except by appointment, which would cut out what one man calls "camp- ing on people's doorsteps."

To an out- sider it looks as if these meetings, with the honest confessions there made, must certainly be productive of some good.

NATHAN Moore, for a long time en- gaged in the nursery business at Sidney, O., celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday anniversary February 1. After heavy faUs of wet snow it will pay to go through the evergreens and give a shake to any badly weighted down. The pines suffer badly from these storms, but even the Norway and other spruces will suffer. The present is an opportune time to look over lilacs and other shrubs for oyster shell or scurfy scale. When any is discovered, wash with strong whale- oil soap. "Where the pests are very thick, use a brush and lather on the soap freely. The planting of apple orchards is only at a beginning, but nurserymen should urge their customers to plant only the best varieties and to grow and pack them well, else the Pacific northwest, where they pay attention to the details which give uniform high quality, will get a long lead over the apple sections else- where. Large evergreens, especially spruce, can be moved in the winter with safety if, before the ground freezes too hard, a trench is dug around the ball intended to accompany the tree. .Then, when the ground freezes hard, there will not be any trouble in getting the tree and ball undermined, the plains, rollers, etc., in place, and the tree in motion and on the road to its new destination. After plant- ing, it will be well to cover the ball, and the ground out from it for a foot or more, with leaves or coarse manure. It is all very well to say that anybody can prune a gooseberry bush, but the fact is that anybody cannot. In pruning gooseberry bushes, last year's growth on wood that fruited last year should be cut back to one or two eyes. Enough young, straight shoots should be allowed to remain, distributed over the bush so as to insure a continuation of vigorous material for future bearing, but the tips of the shoots should be cut off. The flowering buds of gooseberries are on last season's growth as well as on older wood, but as the wood gets old it becomes less fruitful; hence the necessity of keeping up young growth.

CALIFORNIA'S HEAVY RAINFALL. The tremendous downpour of rain in the central and northern parts of Cali- fornia and the abundance of snow in Oregon and Washington, coupled with a great excess of moisture in every form, has had a depressing effect on the nurs- ery trade during the month of January. This time of the year should be a harvest for the grower and seller of nursery stock, but planting of every kind has been interfered with so much that at the best we can expect but a short season. In the last week of January the coast papers were still filled with ac- counts of wjishouts and overflows, and it will be some few weeks at least, even should we be favored with drier weather, before planters can get on their ground to put it in shape for cultivation. Our season in California is at least three months ahead of that of the east- ern states, and when they commence to plant we are usually finished for the season. The weather in California after the first part of March commences to get warm, and in a few days the le&ves com- mence to sprout on deciduous stock, and then handling to advantage is over until the following season. ' That there would be a good trade in nursery stock this winter goes without saying. All the larger dealers are well supplied with orders, and the only diffi- culty seems to be the inability to deliver them, because of the excessive rainfall throughout the coast. This does not apply so particularly to the southern part of California, ^B here the rainfall is rarely in excess of the demand, but in every other section of the coast we have bad more than enough. With evergreens and other kinds of ornamental stock that can be handled until the middle of April, there is time enough to yet give a -fair season; but with the fruit tree problem "there is bound to be considerable loss to both growers and planters, as with this class of stock it is usually impractical to keep them another year, in an effort to have desirable planting stock. They quickly outlive their usefulness in the nursery, and planters justly demand younger trees. G. SAN FRANCISCO. TbcMixfcet It is now the fourth day of February and the rain keeps merrily descending. We have had but six dry days since the first of the year and the chances are that the weather man has gone asleep at the switch. It is to be hoped that he will soon attend sufficiently to business to al- low the florists at least an opportunity to make a few sales.

Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the largest, moat progressive^ aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties for indoor cul- ture; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

A few fruit blossoms have made their appearance in the stores, but there is but little beauty to them yet, as the ex- cess of moisture has given them a washed out appearance. There seems to be a shortage of free- sias this season. Those shown by the gjTOwers are not up to the standard of one year ago, either in size ox color. Roman hyacinths have been a drug, but are getting scarcer and the same can be said of valley, which at present is in some demand. Outside mums are over for the season and it will be quite a while before there is anything to tako their places. There is quite a scarcity of .tame maidenhair and asparagus, but wild maidenhair is plentiful. Various Notes. Lorenzo G. Yates, one of the best known horticulturists on the Pacific coast, died at Santa Barbara, Cal., Janu- ary'31. He was a native of England and 77 years of age. Dr. Yates made a spe- cialty of the ferns of the Pacific coast and his reputation was world-wide on this subject. N. Rolleri has opened a floral estab- lishment on Seventh street, near Clay street, in Oakland. J. Heatherington, after an absence of over a year in various eastern states, has returned to California and is located at San Anselmo. A.

There is not one who complained of last week 's business. A •cumber of prominent citizens have died in the last ten days, and therefore considerable stock has been consumed in funeral work.

Knopf A grand variety; comeB 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. Oesorlptton:— The color of Mrs. Ohas. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. The flower is 4^ 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 and 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 habit is ideal; closely resembles Enchant- ress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the field or inside all summer. Likes a temperature of 50 to 52. The stem is 24 inches and over, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives 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 3^ 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, 50 to 52. Very free producer and cod tinning throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 30 inches, and the flrst crop is very stiff, but holds up the flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure to give satisfaction and flnd a place among the standards. Tbe above varletleB. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000; 25u at 1000 rate.

J Mention The Review •when you write. CLEVELAND. The Market The shortage iu flowers of the last two weeks is about over. Roses, heretofore scarce, are now coming into crop. Car- nations are also coming in more freely and, from appearances, there will soon be more than plenty of stock. Tulips and daffodils are to be had in quantity. Callas and longiflorum are re- ceived daily and sell fairly well. Valley, Romans and sweet peas are exceptionally fine, but the demand is limited. Eastern •louble violets, received daily, are moving ^well for this season of the year. Vaxiotu Notes. Albrecht & Smith report a decided in- crease in transit trade at their new loca- tion, on Prospect avenue. The J. M. Gasser Co. has been show- ing some good windows of late. One of orchids was especially attractive. Frank Friedley, of Gasser's, visited friends in Akron last week. The party took dinner at Portage Lakes and all epent a most enjoyable day.

Fepbuabt 11. 1909. dNONNATL The Market lousiness continues to be rather quiet, rs'ow and then there is a little ripple that oncdurages us to hope for better things, •Jjut we are doomed to disappointment in most cases. There is not the snap that tliere ought to be. The buyers come around and do not seem to care whether tlioy buy anything or not. Of course, the main reason for this attitude is that they do not have any trouble in getting just about what they want, so it is not necessary for them to hurry in their search. The supply of stock continues about the same, also. Roses and carnations are good and there is no oversupply. But the fact that these flowers are being sold at considerably lower prices than have ever been known for the time of year ipust be taken into consideration. Lilies are in fair supply and demand. Violets and sweet peas are doing well. Bulbous flowers are now coming in pretty strong. Fine tulips are seen, and also daffodils and Von Sion. Dutch hya- cinths are on hand, as well as plenty of Romans and narcissi. This class of stock is selling well, all things considered. Various Notes. The next regular meeting of the Flo- rists' Society will be held Saturday even- ing, February 13, at 8 p. m., at the sales- rooms of Weiland & Olinger. A prelim- inary report from all of the recently ap- pointed committees will be heard. The meeting will develop many points of in- terest and will doubtless be largely at- tended.

The Market The sales during January were much better than those of the same month last year. Some of the florists say they doubled those of January, 1908. Business conditions last week were rather slow. Koses and carnations of good quality are coming in. Violets are not so plentiful as they have been. There is a fairly good trade in Roman liyacinths, Paper Whites, tulips and other bulbous flowers. Sweet peas are good and plentiful and meet with ready sales. Lilium longiflorum, Harrisii and giganteum are in good supply. Freesias are coming in and are of fairly good quality. There is also a satisfactory business in green goods, such as aspara- gus, smilax, fern leaves, galax, etc. Quite a few pots and pans of hyacinths, tulips and Paper Whites are arriving.

A 2 -inch riser should be car- ried from the boiler into the greenhouse, then under the ridge of the house to the far end, there to supply seven lines of 2-inch pipe under each side bench, or fourteen returns in all.

We wish to build a house 14x36 feet, running north and south and located twenty feet east of a house now contain- ing the boiler, from which heat must be obtained for the new house. We intend to use hotbed sashes, 3x7, as glass for both top and sides. The house is intend- ed for late mums, of such varieties as White and Yellow Jones and White and Yellow Chadwick. We wish to have ground benches. Plenty of water can be given the plants and they will have good drainage. We wish to heat with hot water, in 2-inch pipes. How deep should these beds bet We will plant May 1. How far apart should the plants be placed, single stems, to produce good bread and butter blooms f Should the house be covered with these sashes right after planting or in early fall, before frost t Should the sides as well as the top be covered, or should the sides be left openf How many lines of 2-inch pipe will be required to heat this house!

You may run the flow pipe either underground or overhead, accord- ing to convenience. If the mums are to be planted in the soil, I should prefer that at least eight inches of the surface be prepared for the reception of the plants. This should be treated the same as potting soil. If the location is a well protected one, I think it will be as well to leave the plants with- out protection until the stems are well formed and the buds begin to appear. At about this stage I should provide roof protection and, if the nights are cool, side glass as well. Most growers prefer to bring the plants on in a protected place in the open, rather than in the house, as somewhat less care and atten- tion are required. L. C. C. A HOUSE IN SOUTHERN TEXAS.

Chrysan- themums can be grown practically with- out protection, unless it should prove a benefit to protect them with plant cloth, to modify the sun and ke^ off insects. For this purpose I would sug- gest the use of "aerial tent cloth," the same as used for tobacco.

Abo||t Jour or five lines of 2-inch pipe carried fflong each side wall, to ffct as radiators, and heated by a hot water boiler, with an independent 2- inch flow carried along the purlin sup- ports on each side to the far end of the house, should supply sufficient pro- tection from cold. This heating plant will not be required except during periods when a "norther" is on. You may also find that sweet peas can be grown in such a house to advantage, but r should use them sparingly until their value }ias been fully demonstrated. L. C. C. MINNEAPOLIS. Tlie Market Stock is plentiful on the market, and good.- Business was* mildly good last week, and stock moved evenly. American Beauties are in demand, and scarce. Dutch hyacinths, azaleas and all the spring plants are making a showing everywhere." The weather is propitious foi; ^ood bloMus, and easy on the coal pile, with the sun shining every day, and no cold. Variotfi Notes. The death of one of the most notable residents of Minnesota, Thomas Lowry, at his home here in the city, was the oc- casion of the largest display of funeral flowers ever se^n here. Orders poured in from all parts of the United States and Canada, and every florist had a share of the display. The demand was for the higher grade of flowers and for original pieces, with carte blanche as to price. Orchids, valley and violets seemed to be the general choice. Branches of tte city government, and clerks in other depart- ments of business, sent large designs in token of their sympathy, and the beauti- ful home on Lowry Hill was filled with the gorgeous blooms. The wedding of Miss Caro Chamber- lain was another good ilem in florists' circles. E. A. Latham had charge of the decoration, and care and artistic drap- ery of greens turned out a handsome piece of work. Miss Whitted had the bouquets, fourteen of Miss Chamberlain 's classmates each carrying a different com- bination of flowers, while the maid of honor had white lilacs and pink roses, and the bride's bouquet was made up with orchids, valley and maidenhair ferns. The Minneapolis Floral Co. has some good azaleas and Dutch hyacinths. W. G. Schutt, representing C. C. Poll- worth Co., of Milwaukee, was here; also B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel- phia. M. E. M. DETROIT. The Market Business remains about the same as it has been for some time. There is con- siderable stock coming in daily and little is going to waste, and no better indica- tion can be had. One of the scarce articles is carna- tions. With all the spring stock to fill out, this seems queer; still it is a fact. Perhaps the growers are all saving their stock for exhibition at the next meeting of the club, when a show is to be the main feature. Vaiioui Notes.

With the exception of a few days, it was the mildest January in years. Business so far this month was better than expected. Stock remained scarce all through and continues to be so. Bulb stock and carnations still bring a good price, with none too many on the market. Sweet peas, valley and violets are none too plentiful, especially violets, which we always need. Various Notes. The club meeting, which was held the first Tuesday of the month, brought out the new candidates, to be elected later. The following were nominated : For presi- dent, Charles Sandiford and Ed.

Business keeps moving along in the same old way. Flowers are plentiful, so much so, in fa"ct, that John Gratopp started throwing out roses and carnations, and replants with lettuce as soon as the plants are large enough. He says he shall not make a cutting this season and expects to grow nothing but lettuce, rad- ishes, tomatoes and cucumbers.

Cyclamens and Boston ferns seem to have gone out of fashion. They do not sell nearly so well as they used to a couple of years ago. E. A. K. COLUMBUS, OHIO. The Market Trade has kept up well for the last two weeks. There has been a good demand for decorative material and stock for table decorations, and this, with a lot of funeral work between times, has kept all the florists busy. There have been more receptions lately than in a long time before, and business, as a whole, is better than it was before the holidays. The North Side Chamber of Commerce gave a charity ball, which proved a great success and which used many cut flow- ers in its decorations. Roses are coming in well, especially Brides and Maids. Killamey, however, has been off crop for a week or so. Carnations are fine and meet with ready sales at good prices. Tulips are now coming in such quantities as to make one take notice, and all bulb stock is fine. Violets are coming rtiore plentifully and sales have been heavy on them. The single seems to be the favorite here. Various Notes. The Florists ' Club held a regular meet- ing at the store of the Fifth Avenue Floral Co. This was the first meeting since the holidays. There was a good attendance and it was decided to give another dance in the near future. O. Munk gave a nice talk on his trip to Indianapolis and it was enjoyed by all the club.

BALTtMOSE. The Market We have had a week of wintry weather, the mercury coquetting with the zero mark for several mornings. This is in marked contrast with the most of the pre- ceding weeks. But so far there has been little sunshine, and the poor quality of the flowers offered shows the effect of these untoward conditions. Trade has been fairly maintained and the only drawback has been the impossibility of supplying the cut flowers. Boses are improving in quality all around. So, zdso, are violets, which find ready sale, especially those offered by the street fakers, who handle large con- signments on each Saturday. Carnations seem to be off crop with a number of the growers. Daffodils are improving and some good Golden Spur are to be seen, but not in large quantities. Freesias are arriving in fine shape. Sweet peas seem to be overdone; (everybody has a bench in bloom and they are only bring- ing 40 cents to 50 cents per hundred. McBanley day seemed to have no in- fluence here on carnation sales. One or two of the street fakers invested in a few hundred blooms, but this was about the only evidence of the advent of the day, except that the heroic bronze bust of McKinley, in the lobby of the city post- office, was decorated with some handsome garlands of his favorite flower. Variota Note*. The coming season seems to promise to be an active one in building opera- tions, and in every direction there are preparations for new houses or extensions of existing plants. Halliday Bros, are propagating carna- tions by the thousands and expect to plant more houses the coming season. Some of the finest blooms seen any- where were cut at their place. J. Bolgiano & Son report business far above last season's trade, especially in seed orders in both the flower and vege- table departments, and they are making preparations for a large spring trade in potted plants.

Cheapest Sash Made Don't think because our sash are made with 1^-inch frames, and the other concerns' from 1%-incb, that theirs are the strongest. It is not so ! They are weaker ! They have to be that thick with their way of making joints. That extra thickness only adds to their weight and not to their strength. If they are heavier, there is just that much more strain on the joints, and they simply rack themselves out the sooner. Sash that Last weigh only 40 lbs. when all glazed. They have blind mor- tise, weather tight joints, and ''s-lncb round steel bracing bar through the center. On all orders of ten or more sash, we make a freight allow- ance that will put them into Chicago, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Portland. Louisville, etc.. at a price that will certainly inter- est any sash user. Further- more, we don't ask you to keep them if they are not ab- solutely as good as we claim.

L The Market After the unusual activity of the pre- vious week, the business of last week ap- peared especially dull. It was, however, a fair average for the season. There were few social functions and few funer- als, so that the demand was largely cur- tailed. There was a slight improvement in the supply of about everything and the prices sagged a little under those of the week before. The dealers are complain- ing that the week end sales on violets have been badly cut into by the action of one of the large drug stores, making special Saturday bargain sales of violets at 19 cents for bunches of twenty-five, while a large department store has en- tered the competition by offering similar bunches for 15 cents. Various Notes. John Hay, caretaker for Mrs. William Goddard at her summer estate at Potowo- met Neck, Warwick, lost all of his house- hold effects by the recent fire. Mr. Hay was for several years florist and gardener for several of the large private estates in this vicinity. His brothers, William and John, are in the greenhouse business in this city and East Providence. Miss M. A. Cutler, for many years in the retail florists' business in this city and Woonsocket, is considering an offer to enter the business in the latter city. The Newport Horticultural Society, Monday evening, gave its eleventh an- nual ball in Masonic hall, Newport, and, as usual, the event was largely attended. The ball room had been made into a floral bower by the gardeners and decorators, who are members of the society. The floor was in charge of John T. Allen, who was assisted by Daniel J. Coughlin, Her- bert Bliss, P. F. Reynolds, Andrew S. Meikle and John Urquhart. The com- mittee of arrangements consisted of James Robertson, Andrew S, Meikle, John Urquhart, William F. Smith, John T. Allen, Bruce Butterton, P. F. Rey- nolds and Oscar Schultz. President Frank O. Field, of the Prov- idence Board of Trade, has announced the appointment of a committee of 200 of the leading business men of the city to arrange for a mass meeting of business men, which is to be heW later this month for the purpose of organizing a movement to boom the trade and in- dustries of Providence. The florists' trade is honored by the selection of a number of those identified with the trade as members of thfs committee. They are as follows: William Appleton, James B. Canning, William 'Hazard, Edmund J. Johnston, George Johnson & Son, Robert Johnston, George Kelley, Matthew Mac- nair, Alexander and Walter S. Macrae, Eugene McCarron, Timothy O'Connor, Michael Sweeney, Olney Williams and James A. Budlong 2d, of J. A. Budlong & Sons Co. W. H. M. Union, N. H. — Frank Vamey is build- ing a greenhouse, to be used for both flowers and vegetables.

RED CYPRESS ''The Wood that Won't Rot'V Described by Basselt St Washburn, Chicago, ill. "Replying to your favor requesting our experience with Pecky Cypreas, we will say, we have been usins^ this grade of Caress in our Chreenhouses and plant benches for the last ten or twelve years and so far have not found any of this wood that has all rotted out. We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock only lasted about four yeilrs, while so far we have had no reeky Cypress rot out in ten or twelve yeais. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactonr. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose. BASSETT & WASHBURN."

Those who make the star and crescent with a solid groundwork of white carna- tions or pthier flowers should be especially interested in the accompanying illustra- tion, showing the design as made by Charles Henry Fox, at the Sign of the Rose, Philadelphia. The arrangement is as graceful, Mr. Fox thinks, as such a design will permit. White flowers were used, but with plenty of green, and made up loosely. Both the star and the crescent are made up lying flat on the counter and afterwards attached in their proper positions. In this way work can be done much more readily and exactly than were they placed in position first. Phil. COLORS IN FUNERAL VORK. White Flowers Not Essential It was only a few years ago that noth- ing but white flowers were used in fu- neral work, and even at this date there are people who almost insist that white flowers only be used in making up their designs. These latter are mainly the country orders, or perhaps from people who, fortunately for them, havQ little occasion to buy or see funeral flowers. With the growth of the florists' busi- liess the use in funeral work of most of the various colors in which flowers are available is steadily becoming more pop- ular. Bright colors are not barred. In- deed, there is no finer funeral flower than the Beauty, peerless for presentation to the living, made up in bunches differing only in form. The casket cover, most expensive of all funeral arrangements, can in no way be more effectively made than of blue — the violet. And the less costly designs may, most of them, be made up with more o? less color and re- main in perfectly good taste. All florists should be duly appreciative of the many advantages the trade gains from this use of colored stock and everyone should do his part to help the tendency along. Boon to the Country Florist. Florists in the large cities, who have a variety of stock at their disposal and have the commission houses to fall back upon, hardly know what diflSculties con- front the retail florist in the small town, or the growers in the rural districts who receive occasional calls for funeral pieces. Even in the large cities there come times when a florist is at his wits' end, not knowing where to obtain stock for a de- sign of specified colors or flowers. So you can easily imagine the predicament in which a florist of limited resources will find himself at times. No doubt necessity, the mother of in- vention, is in a large measure responsible for the use of colored flowers in funeral work; still those of our profession who are continually endeavoring to make something just a little different from the ordinary should receive a share of the credit for the recognition of the suit- ability of colored stock for this use. A design or spray of flowers in all- white is beautiful and always proper or appropriate, that is true; still with a little study and care we can so blend colors that the most artistic effects can be procured. In fact, it is mostly in the arrangement that the art lies. White's the Thing in the Country. One would think that the buyers of fashioned customs and the minute the florist tries to deviate from the rut," by which they also will benefit, they become suspicious — and then the real trouble commences. If possible, never let your prospective customer know that you have not or cannot get certain flowers called for. Few buyers really know what they want in the way of funeral flowers — ex- cept that it is human nature to want anything they can't get — and it is only the exceptional one that is not open to suggestion. A Pillow in Hok. Say, for instance, a customer comes into a store in a small town, wishing a funeral design for a departed relative. Perhaps she has thought of a pillow of all white flowers, with the inscription "Our Dear Brother" across it. All the flowers available are a few lilies, some white roses. Enchantress carnations, a few Romans and perhaps some forget-me- nots. Probably there also is a light pink .*•«< i?' '^S ^ v^ The Star and Crescent. flowers in the smaller places would not be so particular as the people in the big centers, who see and use more flowers, but I really believe it is just the oppo- site. . The, country* people stick to old- azalea nearly through bloom. The first thing to do is to get the customer out of the notion that she must have all white. Tell her that while white is pretty, it is customary to use a little color to take The Weekly Florists^ Review* Fbbbuaby 18, 1009. Store of the Zieger Co., Pittsburg, Pa. away that solemn aspect; then, as the design in question happens to be for a young person, suggest the combination of pale blue and white on a light pink back- ground. Take a few sprays of forget- me-not and some Enchantress carnations and show how well they look together. When you gain the customer 's confidence, you get your order to go ahead and make up the pillow as you see fit. When the order has been landed, it is up to you to turn out a design that will be a credit to yourself and will also make a decided hit with the purchaser, who will thereafter always have a good word for your establishment. Makine the Pillow. When the frame has been mossed and covered with fern leaves, fasten some smilax, galax or ivy leaves around the edge and then commence with the flow- ers. First of all I would make a border of Roman hyacinths and azalea blossoms, wiring the latter to toothpicks the same as you would carnations. Next, place a lily near each corner. Then I would lay out the place the lettering is to occupy. If you have been wise you have cut the inscription down to just plain ' * Brother, ' ' for too much lettering spoils many an otherwise nicely made piece. Fill in the remaining space sparingly with the En- chantress carnations, making thereby a background of light pink. Arrange the forget-me-nots in a pretty border around the space in which' the lettering is to be, and fill in the open space with the white roses stemmed about two to three inches long. A few sprays of some dainty green will make the white roses stand out. Other Arrangements With Colors. After you have made a few designs using light colors, and the people of your town have become a little accus- tomed to them, you can gradually work into the use of brighter colors, but at first it is well to remember that a design containing colored stock will appear all the brighter by contrast with the all- white designs by Avhich it is likely to be surrounded. In making sprays you can use flowers of brighter color than in designs. Only one kind of flowers will be used, so the colors cannot clash, and the brightness will be toned down by the liberal use of green. Colored flowers are specially ap- propriate for the funerals of elderly people. The use of galax, magnolia or ivy leaves will give many opportunities for using colored flowers to good advantage. Red or lavender with bronze galax or the bronze or brown magnolia leaves is in good taste. On green galax. ivy or green magnolia leaves, pink or pale blue looks well. This latter combination is well to use for young people. Using yellow as a suggestion of gold will many times aid you in disposing of jonquils, daffodils, yellow mums, etc. Thousands of red roses are used daily in the large cities in funeral work. The beautiful red of the Richmond rose in sprays with valley, and tied with some ribbon to match either the roses or the green, is very effective and can be used especially well for old people. Purple is also used more for the funeral of old people and this color, combined with white, is very good. The Lodge Insignia. The various lodge pieces usually call for colored flowers and, while they are often just what you want to clean up your stock, still at times it is impossible to get the colors wanted. To guard against such an emergency, I would ad- vise you to always carry in stock some immortelles in different colors. In the different pieces on a base you can use colored stock. The base can be considered as a separate piece. For in- stance, you have just completed a stand- ing anchor in white and pink. In the base you can use almost any color you have at your disposal, dark red, purple, etc. As Soon as you mix the colors you will have trouble unless the correct colors or shades are used, but q3 long as you keep them .apart, as I said before, many col- ors can , be used in the same design. Many times you can beautify what would otherwise have been a too severe con- trast with a fine spray of adiantum or asparagus. Hugo Schroeter. THE ZIEGER STORE. Pittsburg, the Manchester of America, is recognized as one of the best flower cities in the country; Pittsburg million- aires cannot be so bad as they sometimes are painted in the divorce court news if there is anything in the elevating influ- ence of flowers, about which we all have heard so much of late. The city has a number of flower stores which will rank with . the ifinest in the country, among them b^iqg that of the Zieger Co., shown in ' the aecoinpanying illustrations.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ A Unique Decoration for an Unusually Large Round Table. that which most forcefully appeals to their fancy. An ornate establishment is not all that is needed to insure a good business, but it goes a long way in at- tracting the best buyers. The interior of the store is trimmed in silver lairch, even the ceiling being covered with it. Not everyone will approve the way the baskets, hampers, zinc-lined plant re- ceptacles and other fancy articles are displayed upon wall and ceiling — espe- cially ceiling — for their presence there might produce an unpleasant sense of something impending, and the ladies wearing headgear of 1909 proportions might not care to risk the upward glance, if actual inspection is intended, but the effect is novel. The display case for cut flowers is located at one side of the store and can be entered from three sides. It was specially designed and built for the store by the McCray Refrigerator Co. A conservatory was long ago recognized as an important adjunct of an up-to-date establishment and now the modern stores are being fitted up with hardly less use- ful demonstrating rooms. Tlie stairway at the center leads to such rooms on the second floor of the Zieger building. FRUITS AND FLOWERS. New York is the city to which one looks for the unique in the decorator's art. In no other city of the United States are there so many calls upon the florists for something out of the ordinary. And nothing so tries the skill of the decorator as the demand for novelty, for the un- tried and the unconventional, especially if the idea is conceived by another and the florist only called upon to execute the details. The more unique a decoration is, the more likely it is to lack in the es- sential elements of artistic perception and in the accompanying illustration, re- producing a photograph showing a deco- ration by Charles Thorley, the part of the work to be commended is not that closest to the diners. The feature of the decoration most striking at first, glance was the use of fruits upon the table in place of flowers. This certainly was not the idea of a leading artist in the ar- rangement of flowers, but may have had a special significance, not apparent in the mere statement that the decoration was for a dinner tendered to Lady Paget, by Townsend Mantin, at the Hotel Plaza, New York, January 31. The round table is remarkable for its size, seating fifty-five persons, and the floral features of the decoration are ex- cellent. Wild smilax was used to break the whiteness of the ornate walls and the palms and ferns employed in banking the corners were specimen plants, but the cherry tree in the center of the table was the best part of the decoration. The tree was twenty feet in height and had a spread of twenty-five feet. The tree it- self was made by Reed & Keller, leaving the cherries and cherry blossoms to be attached by the decorator. Beneath the table a base five feet in diameter gave a solid footing for the tree, the trunk being made of heavy iron piping wound with cane and covered with electric tape. A special point was the natural way in which the branches of heavy wire were attached to the trunk. The tape used for winding was subsequently colored to rep- resent the natural appearance of the bark of a cherry tree. Ripe cherries and cherry blossoms are not usually found on the same tree, but in this case poetic license permitted the decorator to heighten the effect of his piece de resist- ance by the use of both. Taken altogether, this is undoubtedly one of the most unique of the many not- able decorations which have been put on by the leading New York retailers at the Plaza hotel, the gathering place of New York's wealthiest people. WHITE FLY. In reply to the inquiry by C. T. O., in the Review of January 21, with refer- ence to white fly on his ageratums, I would suggest that he get some Whale Oil Caustic Potash Soap, dissolve it at the rate of two ounces to the gallon of water (to be used before it gets cold), and spray any plants that have eggs on their leaves, also giving the plants in pots or beds enough of the mixture to wet down at least half an inch. I find the best way to do this is to use a sprink- ler on the watering pot. I had tomatoes next to the greenhouse last summer and they were just covered with white fly. When the cool weather came they got inside, and I had what I might call a glorious supply of them early this winter. I tried several remedies. I did not want to use hydrocyanic acid gas, and having had complete success with this soap upon trees and shrubs for San Jose scale, I thought I would try it also for the white fly. The result is that today there is not a white fly to be seen. Where I found no eggs on the leaves I (lid not spray, but I watered everything — adiantums, orchids, etc. — and saw no bad eflfect. The mixture will kill the fly grub in the earth and the eggs on the leaves, and if used two or three times, two weeks apart, there will be no more white fly to be seen. As near as I can judge, the life of the fly is about six weeks. If C. T. O. tries this mixture and has the success that I had, I hope he will report in the Review. I have not seen this Whale Oil Caustic Potash Soap ad- vertised in any of the seed catalogues, but found it in one of the Boston seed houses. Wm. Pittendreigh.

Having successfully exercised its blan- dishments upon tlie legislature and be- come the youngest member of the large family of interests endowed by the state through its appropriation for the Agri- cultural College, the Illinois State Flo- rists' Association should turn its efforts toward the propitiation X)t Old Boreas. In 1908 the opening day of its conven- tion was made memorable by the biggest blizzard of the year, and again this week high winds and piled-up snowdrifts de- terred many from attending the meeting. The effect upon the attendance this year was all the more severe that the storm came the day before the convention, rather than after the members had started for Springfield. However, the storm abated about the opening hour of the meeting and no pleasanter days could have been desired. There were three con- ventions in Springfield on the same days, and the legislature is in session. The crowd may have added something to the gaiety of the occasion, but it was not conducive to comfortable hotel accommo- dations and it is said some beds con- tained three sleepers, even though some, upon such occasions, are said not to sleep at all. The Springfield florists repeated the hospitable entertainment of last year, and with the experience gained from the 1908 meeting were able to conduct the convention absolutely without friction. One of the interesting features was that on the morning of February 18 a box of carnations was placed upon the desk of every member of the state legislature. The convention adopted the following resolution, bearing upon the work of the legislature : Resolved, that this association endorses the bill for University appropriation and respectfully urges upon both senators and representatives that it be passed as introduced. This bill carries $35,000 for floricul- tural work. Having once broken into the charmed circle, the florists' appropriation now comes up as a part of the general University bill and does not have to make its own way as it did in the first in- stance. Business Sessions. The business sessions of the society began Tuesday afternoon, February 16, with some introductory remarks by Hon. Charles E. Hay, one of Springfield 's lead- ing citizens. He was followed by Mr. Murray, the spokesman for the mayor. Mr. Murray performed the same duty a year ago, so that he said it was like greet- ing old friends. The mayor probably delegates this part of his duty to Mr. Murray because of that gentleman's fluent tongue, and he did not neglect to mention the elevating influence which comes from the association with flowers — and florists. George Asmus, president of the Chicago Florists' Club, responded in his usual happy vein. President Albert T. Hey, upon taking the chair, read his annual address, which made a number of recommendations with regard to the routine work of the society, and was in part as follows: President's Address. "Since we last met, the Experiment Station, of which we are so justly proud, has been completed and we have at the University of Illinois as fine and com- plete a plant in every detail for experi- mental work as can be found in the coun- try. I only wish that each member of this society could see it for himself, for then only can he appreciate the work of this association. This initial movement has been watched with great interest from other states and under the manage- ment of Prof. H. B. Dorner, who is an enthusiastic worker in the cause, we ex- pect to get results that will be of utmost importance to our association and the trade in general. "Now, I wish to impress on the mem- bers here, and on the trade in general, that just because we have this station es- tablished we can not fall back and rest upon our oars. This year we are going before the legislature for an annual ap- propriation of $17,500 to carry on the work. We need to increase the plant to carry on other experiments. Many of you may think that this is a large sum of money to spend, but if you could only realize that in organizing an Experi- mental Station there is a vast amount of detail in connection with the getting up of records, compiling literature on the subjects to be treated, references, etc., and, getting a thorough groundwork to build on, you would think it small in pro- portion. Eemember that we had nothing of this kind in the country before. "Now this has all been done and we can truthfully say that in this work Illi- nois takes first place. Let every member put his shoulder to the wheel and help get this appropriation. I have appointed J. F. Ammann on the legislative com- mittee and any help you can give him will be duly appreciated. "We fully intended to give you com- plete statistics of glass in Illinois at this meeting, but in order to complete this it will be necessary for someone to canvass certain sections of the state and I cannot recommend anyone better than our pres- ent secretary. As this involves time and money, I recommend that his expenses be paid. When these statistics are completed they will prove valuable, and as this work has cost the association some little money, I would recommend that they be kept as its property. We have already had several inquiries from the trade for these and I would suggest that copies be made and sold for a small sum to cover the actual expense involved, as they will be the first and only accurate record of those engaged in the trade in this state. ' ' I am of the opinion that this associa- tion, representing the floral industry of the state, should take some action in the matter of a state flower. Several of the states have by legislative enactment rec- ognized some flower as its floral emblem and I believe that this society should go on record and recoriimend to our legisla- ture some flower that is indigenous and appropriate for Illinois." The president's address was referred for consideration to a oommittee consist- ing of W. N. Kudd, George Asmus and E. W. Guy. The report of Secretary J. F. Ammann covered the work of the year. In part^ the secretary said: Secretary's Report. ' ' Our membership at present writing is eleven life and 155 annual members. The matter of life membership should appeal to many who are, and who should, become members of our organization. Every proprietor of any medium" size es- tablishment should become a life member. This is not only a benefit to the society but is a good business proposition, at least for every young or middle-aged man. "The secretary takes this opportunity to thank all those who responded so promptly to the call for data on the amount of glass in their respective coun- ties. While the work is not nearly com- pleted, reports from thirty counties com- plete, and four incomplete, show an ag- gregate of over 6,000,000 square feet under glass, with sixty-eight counties complete and four in part to hear from. ' * Treasurer's Report. Treasurer F. L. Washburn presented a report as follows: Receipts $106.90 Disbursements 68.8& Balance $138.01 The president appointed P. J. Foley, A. C. Brown and A. G. Fehr as an audit- ing committee. At the same time he ap- pointed as judges of the trade exhibits, F. L. Washburn, Peter Olsem and George A. Kuhl. The association's advisory board ap- pointed in connection with the work of the State Experiment Station consists of J. C. Vaughan, W. N. Rudd, F. J. Heinl, C. E. Gallantine and J. F. Ammann. W. N. Eudd is secretary and made a re- port for the board. Report of Advisory Committee, On behalf of the Advisory Committee Mr. Rudd stated that the experiment greenhouses at Urbana had cost $13,500, of which $7,500 had been provided from the general fund of the station and only Febbuaby 18, 1909. The Weekly Florists* Review. $6,000 from the special appropriation for floriculture. Continuing, lie said: "It was unanimously agreed to ask the state legislature at the present ses- sion for an appropriation as follows: For buildings 418,000.00 For publications 4,000.00 For research work 13,000.00 Total $35,000.00 ' ' The committee wishes to make known to the association the extent of the obli- gations of the florists of this state to Eugene Davenport, director of the Ex- periment Station, and to J. C. Blair, chief of the Department of Horticulture. These gentlemen have shown a most en- thusiastic interest in our project and have forwarded our plans in every possi- ble way. The committee also wishes to signify its high commendation of the work done by H. B. Dorner. Having been in close touch with him at all times and having made frequent and careful exami- nation, we have found nothing to criti- cise, much to commend and believe that the station as well as this association is to be congratulated in securing his val- uable services. "We wish to urge upon every member of the association the desirability of vis- iting the University as often as possible and of inspecting the work being done for us there. We believe that all will concede that the greenhouse plant is a model commercial plant and well worth the study of all florists as regards con- struction details and heating apparatus. The committee feels sure that every flo- rist will be made welcome by Mr. Dorner and that the educational value to each one coming from an examination of the work can hardly, be overestimated. It should be noted that while we have now two 100-foot houses, if we get the appro- priation asked for we shall be able at once to erect four more houses, thus giv- ing us three times the present capacity for doing good work for the florist. ' ' Mr. Rudd presented a supplemental re- port on his own account. The official re- port was accepted and the supplemental one referred to a committee, which sub- sequently reported it had been with- drawn. "The committee on state fair made a re- port which was accepted and the commit- tee continued. It consists of J. F. Am- mann, George Asmus and A. T. Pyfer. A letter was read fron\,W. O'Dwyer rel- ative to space for floriculture at the fair and urging the members of the associa- tion to help in ' getting suitable accom- modations. Papers and Addresses. One of the most interesting addresses to which any florists' body has had the pleasure of listening was thai by Eugene Davenport, dean at the College of Agri- culture. He talked for half an hour or more on the reasons why it is good public policy for the legislature to appropriate public funds for the teaching of profes- sions, and for research work in the spe- cial callings, at the State University, and every one of his hearers would have been glad to have had him go on indefinitely. He brought out the fact that what the florists ask of the legislature is trifling in comparison to the sums expended in the care of unproductive citizens. Prof. J. H. Collins, superintendent of the public schools of Springfield, made an address on "School Gardens," a phase of education which has been espe- cially successful at the state capital. Prof. H. B. Dorner spoke on "Our Experiment Stations," describing the work that has been thus far done for floriculture. W. N. Budd was on the program for a talk on "A Few Carnations I Have Seen, ' ' and gave a characteristic address. The Banquet. The Springfield Florists' Club tendered a banquet to the visitors at St. Nicholas hotel on the evening of February 16. The menu was elaborate and the service excel- lent, which put everyone in a mood to enjoy the speaking which followed. Charles E. Hay was toastmaster. The invocation was asked by Ven. F. A. De Rosset. The toasts were as follows : Beacons — On the Carnation Horizon, by W. N. Rudd. Current Topics— From a Professional View- point, by Prof. H. B. Dorner. Inspirations of a Flower Show, by George Asmus. Springfield — Past, Present and Future, by N. R. Roberts. The Western Fad— Is It a Perennial? by Al- bert T. Hey. Snowbound — In a Friendly Community, by George H. Angermueller. Afterglow — Of the American Carnation Society Meeting, by J. F. Ammann. All the talks were brief, and many of them witty, so that the affair was voted by all an even greater success than the similar one a year ago. Those Present.

Inasmuch as I will not enter upon the duties of secretary of the A. C. S. until about April 1, you will kindly send all matters pertaining to that society to Mr. Herr, who is still doing business at the old stand. A. F. J. Baur, Sec 'y-elect. PROPAGATION. The Main Crop of Cuttings. It is none too soon for those who grow for exhibition to put in their main crop of cuttings, particularly of the dwarf varieties. The tall growers, such as General Hutton, do not need to be propagated for a month or more yet, but I like to see all the average growers in the sand box by March 1. These will give fine stock to plant out in May and, as a general rule, plants set out in May will produce larger flowers than those set out in June. Some of the varieties that are grown for exhibition may not be suitable for commercial growing, but with many kinds it is simply a matter of early or late propagating. Take Appleton, for in- stance. There is no yellow that will beat it for all-round good qualities as a show variety, and as grown in our vicinity it is equally good as a commercial yellow ; yet some growers say the stem is weak and the flower flops over. Many vari- eties are the same way when improperly grown and, as I have often said, the difference between a commercial variety and an exhibition variety is often merely the difference between a good grower and a poor one. Polly Rose, as sent into the New York market by some growers, with 3-foot to 4-foot stems, will bring from $4 to $6 a dozen, and the same variety will be selling as low as 3 cents at the same time. Exhibition Varieties. To return to the exhibition varieties, I do not think that the list which I gave in these columns after the shows could be much improved on, and the grower who has to buy in stock should get in his order at once, as all catalogue men report an exceptional demand this year. This can be accounted for in sev- eral ways. The big show at Chicago helped to introduce a large circle of growers to many new kinds that they had not seen before, and in addition several shows are scheduled to be held that have not been held in some time. New York will have two shows, I understand, and several smaller towns are getting into line. With the return of prosperity, the future of the mum is bright. The questions of propagation I have talked over so often in these notes that I am almost ashamed to even mention them any more. Some growers trim up the leaves much, others little. Some make a clean cut at a joint; others just snap off the cutting, and both root an equally large percentage of the cuttings. So, as Dooley would remark, "What's the use iv worryin't" A Caution as to Spraying;. Keep the stock from wilting and it roots better and much more quickly, but do not spray your cuttings every day, unless you want to have a good percent- age rot. February and May are two very different months to propagate in, and the spraying necessary in May means trouble at this season of the year. In our own case, operating in a lean-to house with a north aspect, the cuttings are well watered when first put in and sel- dom get any more till they are taken out and potted. Growers using a high temperature, with bottom heat, could not root their plants with so little mois- ture, but the mum is a cool growing plant and does not need such treatment as stove plants require. Keep the draughts away from the cut- tings, but, on the other hand, avoid a stuffy atmosphere, as this will breed fungi in the benches. Common sense is the only thing neces- sary at this season in order to get a good start with the plants, and anything well begun is half done, as the old proverb has it. Chas. H. Totty. NONIN ON TWO STEMS. The accompanying illustration shows a good marketable grade of chrysanthe- mums. The variety is Jeanne Nonin and these blooms were grown by Ernest L. Johnson, at Palmer, Mass. He propa- gated his stock in February and benched the young plants in June. He carried up two stems to the plant, for, like a good many growers who cater to a local demand, it better suits his need to have a quantity of good, clean stock of moder- ate size, rather than to make special effort for fancy stuff, such as must bring good prices to be profitable; the local growers haven't the special demand that will pay the'price. Mr. Johnson 's plants were fed only with liquid cow manure and the blooms could be cut with extra long stems by the time the flowers were finished. Nonin has proved to be one of the best of the commercial varieties. It finishes evenly and a house can be cut out clean within a very few days, making way for another crop. RAILROAD GARDENERS. The executive committee of the Amer- ican Association of Railroad Gardeners met in the Illinois Central offices, Chi- cago, February 12, and selected Philadel- phia for the next annual convention, to be held in August. The day was not fixed, but it will immediately follow the Februaby 18, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review, fi meeting of the S. A. F. at Cincinnati, in order to give any of the members who desire an opportunity to visit the florists' convention. After the Philadelphia meet- ing, the annual inspection trip of rail- road gardens will occupy about a week, on the principal roads leading into Phila- delphia, New York and Boston. The ex- act itinerary has not yet been completed. All bona fide railroad employees con- nected with the gardening department of North American railroads are entitled to membership. The annual dues are $1. The association is young, but very promising. It has not been extensively advertised and consequently a great many eligible to membership have never heard of it. Any publicity that the Review can give it will therefore be greatly ap- preciated. Geo. B. Moulder, Sec'y. INSIDE CROPS FOR SUMMER. Will you tell me what I can grow in a small greenhouse in the summer months, after my pansies and geraniums are sold? C. M. H. .JtoV.^ There are quite a number of crops which you could profitably grow. If there is a market where tomatoes could be sold, they would make a profitable crop, provided, of course, that you have the necessary beds or benches and head room for them. If you decide to grow these, start them early in March and have good stock in 4-inch pots ready to plant as soon as your pansies and ge- raniums are out of the way. Good vari- eties are Stone, Comet and Early Jewel. Cucumbers are another summer crop you can grow if your house has sufficient head room. In the way of flowers, chrysanthemums benched in June or the early part of July, of such early varieties as Polly Rose, Pacific, Golden Glow and Halli- day, could be cleared off by the middle 1f^j: '. .#1.?^ ^. ^;C^-:' .^■'^-^ Nonin Chrysanthemums Grown Two to the Plant. of October and would probably be as good as anything you could grow. If you have a call for summer flowers, you can plant asters in the benches. Use sucb varieties as Victoria, Queen of the Market and Comet. These will prove use- ful ' and profitable, if you have a local retail trade, and will also ship well. C.

The latter are more easily grown than the former, and flowering, as they do, satis- factorily over a long season, shipping well, lasting finely when cut, and being indispensable in funeral work, it is not to be wondered at that their successful culture means much to many commer- cial growers. If a selection of seed has not yet been secured, no time should be lost in ordering the needed supplies for the coming season. A really bewil- dering list of varieties of this popular annual are offered by the many adver- tisers in the Review. Whatever kinds you purchase, be sure you get the best quality. Cheap seed of any flowers al- ways proves dear in the end. Unless your trade calls for mixtures, rely on packets of separate colors, such as pure white, pink, lavender, blue and scarlet. The two first named are always the most in demand. Seed sown throe weeks ago for culture inside is now giving us little plants, nearly ready for transplanting. A first sowing for outdoor planting is now time- ly. Use shallow flats of light, sandy soil, cover lightly, water with a fine rose can, and in a temperature of 60 degrees the seedlings will appear within a week. Re- move to a house kept 5 to 10 degrees cooler when they are nicely germinated. Keep well up to the light and water care- fully to prevent damping off. For the earliest sowing, we use Queen of the Market, also called Queen of the Earliest. For successional batches. Giant Comet, Victoria, Vick 's Branching, Sem- ple 's and Chrysanthemum are used. Seed can be sown as late as early July. For the last sowings such varieties as Mignon Dw-irf Chrysanthemum and Victoria are good. Of the newer asters, Debutante, pure white; General Jacqueminot, rich criffwon; Enchantress, flesh pink, and Daybreak, shrimp pink, are especially good. Unless you are growing aster plants for spring sales, do not make the mistake of sowing umch seed yet. One variety now is sufficient. Make a sowing every sec- ond or third week until July 1 and you will have a constant supply of asters from late July until frost. The proper ground to be used for asters and its preparation will be treated fully in a future issue. Seed Sowins[. The time has now arrived to make first sowings of quite a number of bed- ding out and greenhouse plants. There are advantages in sowing some seeds in February, rather than a month later, es- pecially if the plants are not too rampant growers. There is a good, steady bot- tom heat in the steam or hot water pipes. A month hence on some days they will be cool, as the increasing power of the sun will necessitate shut- ting off most of the heat for a few hours daily. An even, moist tempera- ture and shade from the sun's rays are what seeds require. The bulk will germi- nate nicely in a night temperature of 60 degrees. A few will start betler in 5 to 10 degrees more heat. Those prefer- ring cool treatment should be moved to a lower temperature soon after germi- nation, to prevent their becoming drawn. The ideal soil for all flower seeds should be largely of leaf-mold. Loam should not compose even half the com- post for any of the seeds. Fine sand should be freely used. Be sure to drain all receptacles well. Place some moss or rough portions of the loam over the drainage. After adding flner material, pass the top portion through a fine mesh screen, and level it evenly before sowing any seeds. Use care in covering the seeds. The old rule was to cover each seed its own depth. This holds good in most cases now. Fine seeds, such as gloxinia, begonia, mimulus, etc., are bet- ter not covered at all, unless it be with ^^.•rJ^.lSTi:':?:^^- ^w. 12 The Weekly Rorists' Review. Fbbbuaby 18, 1909. a little fine sand. All flats or pans should be covered with paper for a few days, gradually removing it'lifc the seed- lings begin to appear. A few varieties of seeds which may be sown now are: Verbena, Torenias Bailloni and Fournieri, petunia, datura, asters (a first batch for outdoors), stocks, ricinus, Vinca alba and rosea, lobelia, begonia (all varieties overlooked should be sown at once), gloxinia, cannas, browallia, antirrhinum, heliotropes, ber- ried solanums, musa, amaryllis. Aspara- gus plumosus and Sprengeri and hibiscus. Among hardier plants are: Aquilegia (all varieties), single annual hollyhock, Canterbury bells, campanula in variety, pentstemons (desirable plants treated as annuals), antirrhinum, hardy asters, py- rethrum, kochia and trichopilia. Quick growing annuals, like balsan^p, zinnias, cosmos, Coboea scandens, moonflower and marigolds, need not be sown for a few weeks yet. Salvia splendens and its va- rieties, Zurich, Bonfire, compacta, etc., may he started now, but will make suffi- ciently large plants if left until the mid- dle of March. Perennial seeds sown now and trans- planted to nursery rows in early May will make quite heavy plants by fall. A few good sorts to sow are: Aquilegias, campanulas of all sorts, Lupinus poly- phyUus, veronicas, delphiniums, pyre- thrums, aubrietias, Alyssum saxatile, kniphofias and hibiscus. Pentstemons of a first-class strain make desirable plants for massing effects. They should be sown during February. Beddiog Geraniums. Th& increasing power of the sun is sending the geranium plants along much faster now. Never allow them to be- come crowded, or you seriously injure them. It should be the aim of the grow- er to have the plants as bushy and stocky as possible. To achieve these ends, each plant must be kept from crowding its neighbors. The strongest plants will now be in 4-ineh pots, the second size in 3-inch pots, and late cuttings should be rooted in a size smaller. It is now rather late to put in cuttings to make suitable plants for bedding out. Do not give the bedding geraniums any shade. Allow them abundant ventilation. Let them dry out well between waterings. Remove all decaying foliage and spread them out a little every few days. The foliage should never be damp at nightfall. This has a tendency to promote leaf blight. Stujotockt. It is just a month until shamrocks will be wanted. Where they are still growing in flats they should be potted off at once. Pots from 1-inch up to 4-inch, as well as small pans, are commonly used for sham- rocks. A light soil, containing sand and a little well decayed manure, grows good stock. Mildew is liable to attack the plants if exposed to cold draughts. This renders them unsalable. Shamrocks do best in a cool house; 45 degrees at night is about right. Lorraine Begonias. The earliest batch of Lorraine leaves are now well rooted and quite a few little plants starting from the stalks. These are being placed in 2-inch pots of leaf-mold and sand. The old leaves can be dispensed with. The newly potted lit- tle plants should be kept warm and moist until established, when a rather cooler, sunnier and airy house will do them bet- ter. Cuttings of soft wood from the base of the old plants, when obtain- able, should be inserted. These root much more quickly than the leaves and will develop into floriferous plants. Those raised from leaf cuttings make more open heads and the flowers are produced rather less freely, which is a decided advantage. The great objection constant- ly urged against Gloire de Lorraine is that it carries too much bloom and too few leaves. This is undeniably true. There is still ample time to get in more leaf cuttings and, of course, shoots may be rooted for several months yet. Genistas. To be in season for Easter, genistas may now be brought into a cool house. Genistas resent forcing and go to pieces quickly in a store if they have been grown warm. They require abundant supplies of water. One thorough drying out will destroy the flowers after they have begun to open. See that young stock, rooted last fall, is not allowed to become too potbound. Keep them pinched into shape. Standard genistas are oc- casionally seen. They are easily pro- duced by running up a single shoot to any required height, keeping all side growths removed, and pinching ±he main shoot when it has reached the desired height. The shoot should be securely staked to keep it straight. Acacias. The various acacias, such as armata, Drummondii, Riceana, Baileyana and het- erophylla, are all desirable Easter plants. They naturally flower in spring and may require some retarding to have them in good shape for Easter. It is a great mis- take to have "these fully opened before they are sold. Some varieties, notably armata, which is most in evidence com- mercially, when in full flower will have a considerable percentage of their little circular flowers brown instead of yellow. Customers naturally fight shy of any plant carrying faded-looking flowers. It is, therefore, a good plan not to attempt to have all the flowers open at Easter. If your plants are being held in a cold house or pit, in a semi-dormant condi- tion, you can easily get them into flower in four or five weeks in a temperature of 50 degrees. Nephrolepis. If you do not grow any stock plants of nephrolepis in benches, it will pay you to reserve a small portion for them. They grow much more vigorously and make an abundance of runners when given a free root run. Any old plants you have standing around will probably be carrying a number of runners now. Cut these off and place in flats in a warm, moist, shaded house, where they will soon establish themselves, and later, when some of the violets or carnations can be dispensed with, plant them out to get good plants for next fall's trade. Nephrolepis are not fastidious as to soil; loam, sand and a little well-spent manure suits them. A mulch of well-decayed manure over those being utilized as stock plants in benches will be found helpful. PFEIFER'S CULTURE. Mention of the large crop cut last spring, by William P. Pfeifer, of Utica, N. Y., has brought a number of in- quiries as to how it was done. Mr. Pfeifer is a modest man, and just a little reluctant to bring his light out from under its bushel, but makes the following statement to accompany the illustration, showing one of his benches of Enchantress photographed last spring: "I do not consider myself an expert carnation grower, by any means, but I always manage to have as good as the other fellow and last spring had a really phenomenal cut. The house shown in the illustration was planted August 14. It is 30x124 feet and can house about 3,600 plants. I had two benches of Enchantress, one of Rose-pink Enchant- ress and Winsor, and one of Boston Market. I commenced cutting about September 15 and cut heavily until along in December, when the cut com- menced to get light, although the crop never was entirely off. "About December 15 I gave them a good top-dressing of sheep manure, and three weeks later a dressing of wood ashes. After that you ought to have seen them grow! Along in March there were at least 40,000 buds showing up at one time; anyone who saw them will say this was a low estimate. Peter Crowe, the originator of Adiantum Croweanum, was up to see the house in April and he said that in all his travels he never had seen a house to equal it. I commenced to cut in March and I never got through cutting untU I threw them out in July. I did not keep count of how many I cut, but I know many a day I cut a thousand or more. "Now, in regard to the soil, I used sod one year old, chopped fine. I filled my benches first without using any fer- tilizer and after I had them fiUed I gave them first a coat of bone meal and then one of cow manure and mixed them thoroughly on the bench. This was aU the fertilizer my plants got im- til the top-dressings I spoke of giving them in December and January." CUTTINGS ROT IN THE SAND. What is the cause of my carnation cuttings rotting in the sand ? I give them little bottom heat, sometimes none at all. B. A. E. You are asking for a good deal of in- formation on the strength of very little data. It would be difficult to tell what makes your cuttings rot, since I do not know what you do to them. If you started with good, clean sand, you have perhaps been overdoing the spraying in the cloudy weather which has prevailed during the last six weeks. We sometimes see it recommended that cut- tings be sprayed every day or oftener, etc. Perhaps you have followed that sort of advice. In our experience in propa- • '.■•.y,\,>A; *;•>>■ '7 . • ;■ 1. , FEBHUABy 18, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. t3 House of Enchantress from which Wm. P. Pfeifer, Utica, N. Y., Harvested a Remarkable Crop Last Spring. gating, we find that no such rule can be followed safely. We find that during the first week, if the weather be cloudy, car- nation cuttings may need a very light spraying once each day or second day. After that, little spraying is needed. It is far better to lay newspapers over them, to keep them fresh during the day. This is more efiPective in keeping them fresh, and there is not the danger of causing rotting, etc. In writing of the care of cuttings while in the sand, I have always made it a point to warn my readers against two dangers. The first and primary one is wilting, and in guarding against it one is apt to run up against the second one, which is too much water on the cuttings in the form of spraying, etc. Water is, as a general things such an effective me- dium for freshening up any drooping, living object that 'it is usually the first thing thought of and the most commonly applied, in preventing or dispeUing wilt- ing of vegetation. There are cases, how- ever, where the shutting out of the cause of the wilting is possible, and far prefer- able to any other means of reviving, and this is one of them. In rooting carnation cuttings the main thing to bear in mind is to keep them in a fresh condition. And the next thing to bear in mind is to keep them fresh with as little overhead spray- ing as pos«ible. It may not be possible to get along without some spraying, but the less the better, as long as other means will answer the same purpose. And in no case should the cuttings stand wet overnight. You will possibly find your remedy in the foregoing facts. A. F. J. B. VARIETIES IN SAME HOUSE. Would you kindly inform us which of the following carnations will do best planted in the same house? We have three houses which we use for carnations, and would like to know how to distribute among them the different varieties we have in stock, which are Winsor, White Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress, Pink Lawson, White Perfection, Bountiful, Victory, Bassett, Beacon, Harlowarden and Afterglow. W. F. C. The following temperatures suit the varieties you mention best in this local- ity: Winsor, 52 to 54 degrees; Enchant- ress and its sports, 50 degrees; Mrs. T. W. Lawson, 52 to 54 degrees; White Per- fection, 52 degrees; Lady Bountiful, 52 to 54 degrees; Victory, 52 degrees; Bea- con, 52 degrees; Harlowarden, 52 de- grees; Afterglow, 52 to 54 degrees. I cannot advise you about O. P. Bassett, as we have it for trial the first time next season. These temperatures are for the Indiana climate and soil. Your condi- tions in Oregon may demand some varia- tion from the above. I would classify your varieties as fol- lows: Plant Lawson, Winsor, Lady Boun- tiful and Afterglow in one house, giving the latter two the cooler end, and run it at 52 to 54 degrees. Plant all the En- chantress varieties together and run the house at 50 degrees. ^All the others will go nicely together in one house, running it at 52 degrees. Bassett will likely do well in this lot, too. A. F. J. B. RUST AND LEAF-SPOT. Please tell me what is the trouble with my carnations. They seem to have been drying up from the bottom for the last four or five weeks. Is there any- thing I can do to save them? I am en- closing a few specimens for you to ex- amine. I have a small house, 15x20. C. B. The specimens forwarded were badly dried up, but showed at least partly what ails your plants. They had the appear- ance of plants which have never taken hold of the soil properly. There was a good deal of rust on the leaves and some leaf-spot. If all the plants look like the speci- mens forwarded, there will be little use of doing anything to try to save them, as they will never amount to a great deal. However, if you consider them worth an effort to save them, I would advise you to pick off all the leaves showing the rust pustules and also those with leaf -spot on them. Then spray the plants with Bor- deaux mixture, and dust around some air- slaked lime mixed with sulphur in equal parts. Also dust it on the plants. Give plenty of ventilation and stop syringing until you have them under control. A. F. J. B. LET ANYBODY ANSWER. Can the growers of carnations tell the cause of carnations going to sleep in transit? I am told that they are packed in first-class shape for shipping to des- tination, they are in the box thirty-six to forty hours, and when they arrive are all asleep. Is it because the houses are too hot at night, or what is the cause? I would like to hear through your paper the reasons. H. E. P. The Review will be glad to have any reader suggest a way in which carnations may be shipped in order to avoid the loss which sometimes results from flowers going to sleep. ST. LOUIS. The Market The cut flower market was quite active last week and prices stiffened up con- siderably, especially on Saturday, Feb- ruary 13. There was a great scramble for stock of all kinds for St. Valentine's day. The chief call was for California violets and red roses. From reports of most of the retailers, St. Valentine's day business was much better than last year and this day bids fair to become one of the big days for the florists. Stock at the wholesale houses is not nearly as plentiful as last reported, and is at present cleaning up on almost everything except bulbous stock, which v.,,.^.yrrf;..V!^,^jr. u The Weekly Florists^ Review* Febbuaux 18, 1909. House of Geranium Mrs. Richard F. Gloede. has been coining in heavily of late. Koses and carnations are at present having a good call and the price is up a cent or two on them. Callaa arc more than enough. Light colors in sweet peas sell well and violets are cleaning up daily now. Smilax and other greens are plentiful and the demand is good. Qvb Meeting. The Florists' Club held its regular monthly meeting Thursday afternoon, February 11, and the attendance was as large as the club has had in many months, owing to the fact that it was a carnation meeting. There was a fairly good exhibition of carnations. Among those who exhibited were John Steidle, of Central, who showed twenty-five in each one of his six vases of Rose-pink Enchantress, Enchantress, Harlowarden, Beacon, Mrs. Patten and White Perfec- tion. A. F. Longren, of Des Plaines, 111., staged a fine vase of his new carnation, Lucille. The Charles Knopf Floral Co., of Bicbmond, staged a vase each of Kuby and Mrs. Charles Knopf. A. C. Brown, of Springfield, 111., exhibited three fine vases ©■f twenty-five blooms each of Governor Deneen, Superba and Sangamo. J. F. Ammann showed a fine vase of mixed car- nations. E. W. Guy, of Belleville, had a vase of White Enchantress, and W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, a vase each of Beacon and White Enchantress. At 2 o'clock, promptly, President Young called the meeting to order, with fifty members in attendance, which later increased to sixty. The trustees stated that they would report on a new meeting place at the next meeting. A good, lively discussion was started on different sub- jects pertaining to the florists' business. The question box, too, brought out some good discussions. At 3 o'clock the president called a recess and appointed a committee to judge the carnation blooms. The com- mittee consisted of P. Schneider, Edwin Denker and E. Lombard. Their report was as follows: Best red, W. J. Pilcher first, John Steidle second on Beacon. Light pink, J. Steidle first on Rose-pink Enchantress. Variegated, J. Steidle first with Mrs. Patten. J. F. Ammann took first on mixed vase. Dark red, John Steidle first on Harlowarden. White, W. J. Pilcher first with White Enchantress, J. Steidle second with White Perfection, E. W. Guy third with White Enchantress. Of the new varieties on exhibition the judges reported on points: Mrs. Charles Knopf, 90; Lucille, 89; Ruby, 89; San- gamo, 88; Superba, 87, and Governor Deneen, 80. The five first named re- ceived the club's certificate of merit. The meeting then came to order and the president called on several of the visitors for remarks. Henry Ostertag acted as auctioneer and sold the prize winners at a good price. The March meeting will be the club's annual rose meeting. After adjournment, the members were taken in charge of the entertainment committee and were escorted to the Bis- marck cafe, where sixty sat down to a fine supper. After cigars. President Young called on J. J. Beneke to act as toastmaster, who in turn called upon the following speakers: J. F. Ammann, A. C. Brown, J. J. Karins, Frank Weber, E. W. Guy, Frank Fillmore, Jr. and Sr., Walter Retzer, W. C. Smith and Henry Ostertag. All responded with more or less humorous talks. At 6 o 'clock the party broke up and all voted it the best time the members of the club have ever had. Various Notes. During the last week we had a large array of traveling salesmen calling on the different branches of the trade. They were J. J. Karins, of Henry Dreer's, Philadelphia; F. W. Creighton, of Bod- dington's, New York; 1. Rosnosky, of Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia ; Mar- tin Reukauf, of Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia; D. Augspurger, of Peoria, 111., and Mr. Tiny, of Hagemann & Co., of New York. All report good business during their stay. Fred Ostertag has taken the position vacated by Julius Schaefer at Grimm & Gorley 's. Prof. William Trelease, director of the Missouri Botanical Garden, delivered a free lecture at Kleekamp's hall, Thurs- day night, February 11, on "How to Make St. Louis More Beautiful," using stereopticon views. This lecture was under the auspices of the Tower Grove Heights Improvement Association. The attendance was large. Mrs. William Ellison, of the Ellison Floral Co., who is visiting her daughter, is expected home the latter part of the week from Cleveland, O. F. W. Brockmann is this year chair- man of the executive committee of the St. Louis Horticultural Society. Mr. Brockmann is a commission man on Third street. Julius Peterson, seedsman at 709 Car- roll street, is making big preparations to handle a large spring seed trade. A. G. Greiner, the cactus specialist, re- ports that he has in preparation his new catalogue, which will contain illus- trations of his large and rare collection of cacti. He will also add more glass this summer. C. Young & Sons Co. is displaying a fine lot of blooming plants in the big show windows this week. They expect a busy spring season. A. S. Halstead, president of the St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville, was re- ported sick at the club meeting last week. George Windier, on Delore avenue, is making preparations for extra fine spring blooming plants for the spring flower show, which takes place pext month. The following suburban florists were in the city last Thursday, February 11, and attended the Florists' Club meeting; in the afternoon: A. G. Fehr and E. The Lord & Burnham Selling Force at Its Annual Dinner. Febkoakx 18, 1900. The Weekly Florists^ Review* W. Guy, of Belleville; Henry Johann, of Collinsville ; William Winter, W. J.

J. B. GERANIUM MRS. GLOEDE. R. F. Gloede, of Evanston, 111., has a new geranium, rose-pink in color, which he thinks so well of that he has named it Mrs. Richard F. Gloede. The illus- tration opposite shows his house of it in bloom last season. The habit is described as strong but dwarf, the flow- ers semi-double and the blooming qual- ities excellent, as can be seen in the pic- ture, the plants being in 3 1^ -inch pots. Mr. Gloede says it is his intention to put the geranium on the market during the approaching season, bijt it is stated no offer will be made including the specimen in the center of the view. He is only 6 months old, but is destined, unless the old saying about "the best laid plans" comes true, to follow his father in his profession. OBITUARY. John H. Smalt. John H. Small, pioneer florist of Wash- ington, D. C, died at his country place, in the Brentwood road, February 14, at the age of 82 years. Mr. Small was born in Watford, Eng- land, in 1826. His horticultural taste •came by inheritance through both lines of ancestry. His paternal grandfather owned a nursery in Colnbrook, England, and for years leased Cliveden, present estate of W. W. Astor, on part of which he con- ducted a nursery, in connection with his Colnbrook business. His maternal grand- father, Roberts, was a Welsh landscape gardener, an authority on the subject. It was to him the first Duchess of Marl- borough, while planning Blenheim, went for advice. Mr. Small received his early training at the hand of his grandfather, later fin- ishing his course at Frogmore, Windsor and Kew Gardens. He came to America in 1848, with the intention of making landscape gardening — for which he had been trained — his life work. In Philadel- phia he learned that a "Mr. Linthicum, of Georgetown, D. C, wished to procure the services of a landscape gardener. He ob- tained this position and remained in Mr. Linthicum 's employ until 1854, when he went into business for himself. His han- diwork was manifested in the shaping of the landscape architecture of many of the estates in and about Washington in tis early career. Mr. Small not only had the distinction of being the pioneer decorator of Wash- ington, but to him belongs the honor of having brought about the use of natural flowers for table decorations in this coun- try. When Lord Lyon was British min- ister to this country, he was a social leader and a lavish entertainer. He used for table decoration feather flowers and wax fruits. At Mr. Small 's solicitation he abolished the feather flowers and wax fruits, substituting the natural, a return to the old English fashion. In Mr. Small's early career his busi- ness was located in Georgetown. In the year 1867 a more central location became urgent, and he removed to Fourteenth tind G streets. In the last forty years he John H. Small, Sr. was brought into contact with most of the celebrities who have visited or made the national capital their homo. As his sons reached maturity, they became asso- ciated with Mr. Small in his business en- terprises. Some ten years ago he with- drew from active participation in busi- ness, directing his energies to horticul- tural pursuits at his country place in the Brentwood road. Nine years ago he had a mild stroke of apoplexy, which, for a time, incapacitated him for active pur- suits. From this date he hscd been more or less an invalid. Mr. Small was a genial man, of sunny disposition, kind to all, and readily ex- tended a helping hand. He leaves a wife and nine children. Paul Thomson. Paul Thomson, one of the best known residents of West Hartford, Conn., died February 10, after a brief illness of pneumonia. Mr. Thomson was born in Perthshire, Scotland, April 15, 1846. He got his education in Scotland, where he followed the occupation of farming until 1871, when he came to this country. After living in Hartford for a short time he removed to West Hartford and in 1872 bought the farm at "Thomson's Cor- ners," South Main street, where he had since lived. Mr. Thomson developed his farm and soon became known as a pro- gressive market gardener. About ten years ago he rented the larger part of his land and had since been successfully en- gaged in the growing of carnations and violets on a large scale. Last season he introduced the new yellow carnation, Neptune. For many years he was deeply inter- ested in the West Hartford Grange and had served as its master. He was also a member of the State Grange. He was a member and constant attendant of the Congregational church in West Hartford and had served upon the committee of the Ecclesiastical Society. He was a member of the Connecticut Pomological Society and of the Veteran Association of Company K, First Regiment, C. N. O. Mr. "Thomson was enthusiastic over the introduction in this country of the Scotch game of curling, and was president of the West Hartford Curling Club. Mr. Thomson is survived by his wife and three sons: W. Wallace Thomson and R. Roy Thomson, of West Hartford, and Carlyle C. Thomson, of Hartford. Mn. Minnie Unglaub. Mrs. Minnie Unglaub, wife of Charles Unglaub, died at her home in Springfield, O., February 9. Death was due to tuber- culosis. Mrs. Unglaub had been ill about five years and her death was not unex- pected. She is survived by her husband and two young children. 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Fbbbdabt 18, 1909.

No member shall be ac- counted a new one whose name appears in the published report for last year. Before any man can win either of these prizes the membership fees sent to the secretary by him, under this contest, must have been double the amount of the prize claimed. For the purpose of determining whether new memberships have been se- cured before August 10, the secretary shall include all memberships mailed to him bearing a post mark not later than August 10. Should any difference of opinion arise regarding the award under this offer, the matter shall be decided by the members of the executive committee present at the next annual convention of the society in Cincinnati, and their decision shall be final. The writer will be glad to forward a supply of application blanks and ad- dressed envelopes to any traveling man wishing to enter this competition. W. N. Rudd, Sec'y, Morgan Park, 111. February 12, 1909. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Abraham Lincoln did much in his life- time for the interests of florists, among others, and in a business way the cen- tenary celebration of his birth gave every- one in this market cause for special rever- ence for his memory. The Lincoln cele- brations far and wide centered in the Chicago market, where there was last week an exceptionally good business, es- pecially in the call for red roses. Beau- ties and Richmonds enjoyed a heavy de- mand, but all roses moved so well that, in spite of increased supplies, the mar- ket was bare on the afternoon of Fri- day, February 12. Carnations also en- joyed a good market, the best in some weeks, so that business on the whole was excellent. Beauties held strong all the week. Even bulb stock found fair sale. At the end of the week the St. Val- entine's day special call took the place of the waning Lincoln demand and the market had two days of fine business on violets, sweet peas and the flowers most suitable for Valentine's purposes. Each year lately there has been a pronounced increase in the Valentine's business and violets have had the large share of the special demand. This year there was an- other fine gain; it was the best Valen- tine's day yet. The supply of violets was large, so that a big business could be done without boosting the prices be- yond where they are an inducement to the retailers to take hold strong. There is some difference, of course, in the re- ports, some houses having all the stock they needed, while others were unable to fill orders in full. The bulk of the vio- lets sold at $7.50 per thousand, but some special fancy stock brought $1 per hun- dred. There were, of course, many poor violets to be sold below the prevailing price of $7.50, but the only serious fall- down was on the shipments that arrived Sunday, in the blizzard. Many of them were left unsold. The present week opened with three days of wintry weather. This always has a double effect upon the market. "While cuts are reduced, the local tran- sient trade is reduced to an even greater extent and the market stagnates so long as the blizzards prevail. Under such con- ditions violets suffer more than any other flower. There is practically no sale for f violets in extremely cold weather. Car- nations also suffer, because the carnation is the flower principally handled by the gentlemen who operate the street stands and whose show cases are empty these days. Roses hold their own better than anything else under such conditions, be- cause the supply of roses is more quickly influenced than many other flowers; in fact, roses were decidedly hard to find* Monday, February 15, and have con- ■ W€y^f^,,^r7i''W7'--\ i^l"^^- February 18, 1909.

No order too large for us to fill with go®d stock and no order too small to receive our careful attention. We want to hear from all carnation buyers, for we've got THE goovlo. Bulb stock Tulips in all colors— long-stemmed, fancy stock. Fine Golden Spur and Daffodils. This is the stock that makes the biggest show for the money at the present time. Plenty of Easter Lilies and Callas. Fancy Valley ALWAYS on hand. . , ^ ■A' Violets When we say, " We handle the cream of the stock," we mean- just that.

A large supply. Sweet Peas We also have the best Sweet Peas in this market. Fine, long-stemmed stock in pink, white and lavender, in quan- tity.

Business this week has been as good as could be expected under the weather conditions which prevailed from Satur- day to Tuesday. The local demand has not been large, but shipping has been good. Rdnberg for Senator. Perhaps it was because the florists were in town, but at Springfield Tuesday, in the senatorial deadlock, Peter Reinberg received twenty votes for United States senator to succeed Albert J. Hopkins. The galleries were full of members of the State Florists' Association, but fear of the sergeant-at-arms prevented any demonstration of approval, other than broad grins, as one member announced, in stentorian tones, his vote for Peter Carnation Reinberg. KidwcU Burned Out. "William Kidwell was burned out, at his home, 4453 Ellis avenue, at 2 a. m. February 14. The family escaped from the house in night attire and were taken in and clothed temporarily by B. F. Rubel, president of the Fleischman Floral Co., 3 Jackson boulevard, who lives just across the street from Mr. Kidwell. The Kidwell residence was not destroyed, but was rendered uninhabitable and thie fam- ily are at the Hotel Warner until re- pairs can be made. Lord & Bumham to Open Branch. The Lord & Burnham .Co., New York, will open a branch office in Chicago April 1. George Sykes, one of the firm's oldest salesmen, will have charge. He was here last week, in company with L. W. C. Tuthill, who prepares the firm's advertising matter, and engaged an of- fice in the Rookery, on La ^lle street. February 16 Mr. Sykes sailed from New York for a brief vacation in Europe, but about April 1 will remove his fam- ily to Chicago from Passaic, N. J. Lord & Burnham Co. has long been considering entering the western field. Branch offices are maintained in Boston and Philadelphia, and the recent rapid development of private estates in the west seems to justify an office in Chi- cago.

Still, it is a fair pre- sumption that no commercial grower will be compelled to insist that his order be taken, especially when he wants an iron- frame greenhouse. Variotti Notes. The superintendent of schools has re- signed. The trade will receive the an- nouncement with fortitude. With Cooley gone there may not be flowers at the June school closings, but there always were flowers there before Cooley came. J. A. Budlong estate will plant 2,000 O. P. Bassett carnations this season. Bassett & Washburn are preparing to rebuild several of their older houses this year and to turn them into rose houses. They will plant 2,000 of the White Kil- lamey and 2,000 My Maryland. The retailers all say they were pleased with the St. Valentine's business. It is growing every year. Fancy boxes of violets are the best seller, but all sorts of mixed boxes went well. Lincoln dinners were numerous and each called for flowers. The Chicago party had a special parlor car to go down to Springfield Monday evening to the meeting of the State Flo- rists' Association, but only a half dozen went on that train. E. C.

Co. is cutting quite a few long-stemmed Cardinal rose and reports the buyers take it readily at $3 per dozen when they can not get medium Beauties.

Mention The Review when you write. other story is that a letter of recom- mendation from a politician had become a positive disqualification in an appli- cant for a park job, with the result that harmony was long since fled. However, none can fail to accord Mr. Jensen praise for the work done in the west parks during his administration. Weiland & Risch say that last week was easily the best of the season with them. George Reinberg has already begun the sale of Beauty bench plants, preparatory to early replanting. Leonard Kill says Valentine's day was far ahead of Thanksgiving, and he thinks it will stay ahead even when Thanks- giving is normally good. At E. H. Hunt's the supply depart- ment makes the report that there was a falling oflF in the sales of the cheaper grades of Valentine's boxes, but a splen- did increase in the calls for the better grades of hampers and boxes, from which they figure the trade is on a fairly prosperous footing. C. W. McKellar reports the annual call for orange blossoms as begun. It takes two days' notice to get them at present. The E. F. Winterson Co. has its seed store windows full of robust chickens, as an advertisement for the poultry food, department. Certain inquisitive gentlemen have un- earthed the fact that Peter Reinberg' not only pays taxes on more personal property than any other member of the city council — indeed, four and a half times as much as any other — but that his assessment is two-fifths as great as the combined assessments of the other sixty-eight members. Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving purple lilac and southern jonquils. Otto Benthey was up from New Castle this week for a few days' visit. Florists' feet have worn out one flight of stairs on the Wabash avenue side of the Atlas block and that entrance was closed for a couple of days this week while a new and heavier stairs was being put in. Peter Reinberg still finds his strength not as great as before his sojourn in the hospital. N. J. Rupp has just returned from a trip to Cleveland, during which he took eight orders for greenhouse material. George Asmus lost his grip, with cloth- ing and papers, at the St. Nicholas hotel, Springfield, February 15. NEW YORK. TheMai^et The week opens with foggy weather, after two days of rain and almost a summer temperature. There has been lit- tle change from the quotations of a week ago, and if these will hold until Easter there will be little complaining. The tendency is slightly downward, if any change is noticeable, especially on violets. Gardenias have moved the other way, and good stock brings readily $6 per dozen. The supply of roses is now increasing daily. Last week the mar- ket absorbed easily everything of value that reached it in the rose line. Beau- ties are again abundant. Killarney and Richmond are in popularity. Plenty of carnations in all grades are now ar- riving. Never has the New York market seen finer stock.

The novelties still are in favor at the bon ton stores. Spring flowers are coming in rapidly. Tulips, daffodils, sweet peas, hyacinths and daisies — plenty of them and to spare. In many of the wholesale windows now appears the announcement, "No flow- ers sold at retail." In response, the retail florist will doubtless announce, "No flowers bought from the grower direct." And so, working in harmony, and on a mutually protective plan, there seems to be no good reason why the pleasant relations now existing between these two great sections of the flower trade should not be perpetual. Various Notes. A gentleman by the name of Boliavsky has been trying to touch some of our wealthy florists lately. W. J. Elliolt and William Gunther were both honored last •week. The police call it the "Spanish prison" confidence game. If is proposed by letter and is a weak attempt at swindling that will have to be worked on some less long-headed profession than the wholesale florists or the seedsmen. Mengham & Westwood had the deco- rations last week at the Metropolitan Opera House in honor of Mme. Sem- brich's farewell. Red and white flowers, in token of the Polish national colors, were used exclusively, with palms in abundance. March 2 the Greek Florists' Associa- tion will have its annual entertainment and dance at the Lexington Opera House. Last year this event was a big success, and George Cotsonas says this one will far outshine it in size and interest. Charles H.

The officers of the Greater New York Florists' Association, of Brooklyn, are: President, D. Y. Mellis; vice-president, H. Jahn; treasurer, R. G. Wilson; sec- retary, W. A. Phillips; manager, George W. Crawbuck, and Messrs. J. V. Phillips, Dowlan, Van Mater, Ross and McKee, directors. After an existence of only six months it has been found possible to declare a seven per cent dividend, a most gratifying showing. The Horticultural Society of New York held a meeting Wednesday, February 10, that was fairly attended. President Wood was in the chair. In connection with this meeting, an exhibit of carna- tions was made by the Cottage Gardens Co. and the F. 'R. Pierson Co. The society awarded a silver medal for Alma Ward, a bronze medal to Mrs. Ward, and a bronze medal to the F. R. Pierson Co. for an exhibit of ten new seedling varieties, including several shown at the Indianapolis convention. Interesting ad- dresses and papers were given by John Birnie, F. R. Pierson, Henry Siebrecht, James Bell and others. Eugene Daille- douze and John Birnie acted as judges. Mr. Birnie 's paper was especially inter- esting. The annual dinner season is drawing to a close, a sure sign of spring in the east. Last week the Elberon and Orange societies celebrated, and great successes are reported at both reunions. The twenty-second annual banquet of the New York Florists' Club prom- ises now to be "the noblest Roman of them all."

The date is Saturday, February 27, and the place Shanley's Boman ban- quet hall, Forty-second stre^ and Broad- way. Over a dozen tables have been engaged and only twenty-seven tables are available. Before another week there will not be a seat left. W. J. Elliott is chairman of the dinner committee, and the program of music and speeches will be worthy of the occasion. President Hallock's reception begins at 6 p. m. There will be fine decorations. One wholesale florist purchased twelve seats, and many others have secured a table of the plantsmen and wholesale and retail interests. Professor Van Vleet's famous orchestra will play all the popu- lar melodies. It will be a popular dinner and for the first time in twenty-two years the ladies will grace the annual ban- quet with their presence. If you intend to go, better let Mr. Elliott or Sec- retary Young know immediately. There is quite a possibility of a crowd, and the seats vdll be allotted as fast as the money is received by the committee. The Geller Supply Co. says it will have some fine Easter novelties, and it is al- ready getting ready for the rush. Russin & Hanfling also are busy with fancy Easter baskets, their own construction. Ford Bros, are proud of their daily carnation exhibit. Just now quality is at the topmost notch. "Couldn't be bet- ter," the firm says, and Hession's grow- ing ranks with the best. Ex-president Traendly was rejoicing last week in the intellectual supremacy of one of his daughters, who graduated from her school with the highest honors, though the youngest and smallest of all competitors. Kessler Bros, have a fine plant exhibit neatly arranged at their new store on West Twenty-eighth street. Bickards Bros., who have not only at- tended to their growing bulb trade, but attended and sung at every dinner of the horticultural societies within a ra- dius of fifty miles this winter, say the outlook for the spring trade was never brighter. This seems to be the opinion of every seed house in the city. With an early spring there is no doubt the coming season will surpass all its prede- cessors in general prosperity. John Lewis Childs and Mrs. Childs, of Floral Park, are enjoying a California trip that began this week and will con- tinue until April. Harry Bunyard, with Arthur T. Bod- dington, is expected back from his west- em trip shortly, and as chairman of the outing committee of the New York Florists' Club has considerable summer work cut out for him. Mr. Bunyard has been asked to fill the position of sergeant-at-arms at the club's dinner, February 27. Miss S. A. Hill, of Rich- mond, has been requested to attend and respond to the toast of the gentlemen. If duty prevents, some eastern lady will tackle the question. The plantsmen are busy on Easter stock and optimistic in preparation. Evident- ly they anticipate a record demand.

Mr. Schoen reports business as picking up nicely. Miss H.

Suder says business is good, with plenty of stock to fill orders. Her sweet peas are elegant at present. Wohler Bros., on Central avenue, have given up the growing of cut flowers, but still grow some bedding stuff. They say lettuce and radishes pay much better. Harry Bunyard was a visitor. E. A. K. PROVIDENCE, R. L State of Trade Violets were never in more active de- mand in this market than they were last week, and fortunately those who grow them hereabouts are picking enough to meet the draft. There has been a notice- able improvement in the quality, also, of these flowers and some excellent blooms are seen. One of the developments of this particular feature of the business has been in the demand for bunches of fifty and 100 instead of for twenty-five and fifty, as has heretofore been the custom. Prices hold well, too. Bulb stock in pans in good quality,, quantity and selection holds a prominent place in the market and finds ready sale at fair prices. One of the new features, for this market is being supplied by John Macrae and has caught on well with those who are looking for something out of the ordinary for bouquet and table decorations.

St. Valentine's day proved more of a floral holiday than ever before. It waa largely advertised, and the demand thus created proved beneficial to violets, enor- mous quantities of these sweet scented flovFers being sold February 13. As fre- quently happens, the growers had more than discounted the demand, the held-up supply being fully equal to all require- ments. In fact, prices weakened a little late in the day. No better illustration of the situation can be given than to say that one bright retailer sized up the market so well that he advertised a spe- cial violet sale for that day, securing all the stock he required at moderate prices. The ordinary demands of this active pre-Lenten season have been sufficient to keep the market bare of flowers, there being no need for a floral festival to ab» sorb any other stock than violets. Beau- ties continue scarce and high in the fancy grades. Other roses are increas- ing in supply, but they are not yet equal to the demand. Carnations are falling off a little, with really choice stock bring- ing excellent prices. Cattleya Schroeder- iana has replaced Cattleya Trianse. It is in limited supply, the pink phalsenopsis helping it somewhat to fill the demands for orchids. Lily of the valley is in bet- ter demand than for some weeks past. The price has stiffened under the influ- ence of thousand lot orders. Sweet peas are selling well. While prices average lower than in past seasons, it is evident that the new winter-blooming varieties are sufficiently productive to make well grown stock profitable at market quota- tions. The range of color adds to their popularity. Gardenias have enjoyed a broadening market, the price being stead- ily maintained. Asparagus plumosus is selling wonderfully well, but smilax con- tinues in poor demand. There is much shipping to outside cit- ies. The only changes in the spring flower situation are the lower price of daffodils, the poor demand for the lower grade of freesia, and the advent of dou- ble tulips, both Murillo d'Or being in fine form, increased demand. and Couronne Pansies are in Branch of the Tree. It is officially announced this week that the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., of this city, will open a branch in Washing- ton, D. C., on or about March 1. Nego- tiations have not yet been completed for the company's Washington headquarters. Suffice it to say that the location will be central. Albert Schnell has been selected for the responsible position of manager. Mr. Schnell, who has had business experi- ence in Buffalo and in Washington, is be- lieved by competent judges to be weU fit- ted for the exacting requirements of his position. Samuel S. Pennock, president of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., said that a large stock of cut flowers, both from Philadelphia and from Washington, would be offered in the new store and also a complete line of florists' supplies. The street views this move favorably, be- lieving that the time has come when the business of the national capital will sup- port a first-class wholesale florists' estab- lishment. Rose Harry Kirk. A friend has called my attention to the following paragraph that appeared in the Sharon Hill notes in this column last week: "The aim today is to secure a first-class yellow rose (Harry Kirk has been found wanting)." My friend states that, while I am writing about forcing roses, the reader may naturally suppose that I mean Harry Kirk is useless as an outdoor rose as well. This is not the case. Dr. Huey considers Harry Kirk as the finest yellow outdoor rose and his opinion is supported by other rose ex- perts, who believe that the sterling good qualities of this really beautiful variety will bring it rapidly to the front among our bedding sorts.

ThcMarkeL Supplies are now much more abundant, l&nd trade is not so good as it has been. Lent will soon be hefe and, Avith the consequent cessation of social activ- ities, quiet business may be expected for some weeks. Violets are now abun- dant and prices have fallen accordingly; 50 cents per hundred is now about top price. Carnations are off crop with many growers, but are more than sufficient for the market's needs. For whites the de- mand continues quite good. Sweet peas are getting quite plentiful. The best grades are remarkably fine and sell at $1 per hundred, while poorer samples will only bring 25 cents. Mont Blanc and Earliest of All, or Christmas Pink, are the sorts mostly seen. Roses continue to meet with quite satisfactory sales, and prices on these hold up well, particularly in the case of long-stemmed Beauties, Killarneys and Richmonds. Bulbous stock is nuich more plentiful and drags more than it did. Von Sion, double, princeps and Golden Spur are the narcissi mostly seen. La Reine is still the premier tulip, ('alias, lilies, valley, mignonette, snapdragon and marguerites are all selling moderately well. Of pansies, forget-me-nots, candytuft, stocks, < cornflowers, English primroses and free- sias there are moderate supplies, for which the demand fluctuates consider- ably. Qttb Meeting.

To make a barrel of lime water, take about ten ■ pounds of fresh lime and slake it in water, as for whitewash; then put it in a barrel of K^r and stir well. If the lime is liable to daub up the leaves, wait until it settles and nm just the clear water. It is more efficient, however, if stirred up before using. Very old air-slaked lime loses much of its value for dusting on the soil. It is better to get some new lime and just sprinkle it and let it slake dry, which it will do in a few hours. The lumps can be raked out and given a second sprin- kling, but do not get them too wet. Dust the ground until it is white, scratch it into the soil and water it afterward. Lime is very beneficial to the soil and the plants, and no pests in the soil can stand much of it. H. G. CAULIFLOWER FROM SEED. Please give me a little advice on the planting and care of cauliflower seed. Last season my plants came up nicely, but after a while about half the plants seemed to wither and drop out. The roots did not seem to take hold of the soil. I planted in boxes of good soil and gave plenty of water. S. G. Get some clean, fresh soil from out- doors, which has not been used inside previously. • Thaw it out, and get it warmed up and pretty well dried out be- fore handling it much. Then sift it through a fine sieve, mixing in nearly as much sand as you have soil. Mix it thoroughly and you will then have a good soil for seed flats. A mixture of one-third clean, new soil, one-third leaf- mold and the other third sand is bet- ter. The most important point is to get clean, fresh material, not old soil, etc., that has been lying around the houses and is full of all kinds of fungi and disease germs. Take some good, solid flats, about three inches deep, and fill them heaping full of this fine soil. Then take a lath and lay it across the box or flat and slide it the full length of the box, scraping the soil off level with the top of the box. Then press the soil down gently with a plastering trowel or a small piece of board. Now sow the cauliflower seed carefully. It is expensive and should not be planted too thickly. Press the seed into the soil gently with the trowel ; then barely cover the seed with finely sifted soil. Sprinkle lightly and set the flats in the wannest end of the house until sprouted.

They do not want much water — just enough to keep them from drying out. The second or third day after they are up they will be ready to trans- plant, and this should be done without delay, or they are likely to be attacked by a fungus that rots them off quickly. Transplant them into other boxes or into a bed, placing them about two inches apart and deep enough so that the seed leaves are just above the soil. Look after them several times a day, but give them only light sprinklings and not until needed. The boxes must stand level, or the plants will not grow evenly. After they take hold and commence to grow well, more water can be given. They can be rushed along or held back by the amount of water given them. Deep boxes are not good for seed flats. The soil should be almost level with the sides of the box, so that the air can pass freely over the soil and under the tiny plants. This will do much to pre- vent fungous diseases and will also make the plants shorter and stockier than if down an inch or two in a deeper box. In filling the boxes with soil, punch it down gently along the edges and into the corners before leveling. It is a great mistake to water seed heavily just after planting it. If the soil is not moist enough, it should be sprinkled and let alone for several hours and then worked over again, so that it will be moist and loose when planted and will not be packed down so hard by heavy waterings, which make it diffi- cult to lift the seedlings in transplanting them. These directions might well be applied to other kinds of seed sowing. H. Q. ■■'.■•»Hi^'n''l f' .F"™'; ■, •^- ''■>.*■ • .y-'*" "... 28 The Weekly Florists' Review. Fbbbuabt 18, 1909.

Violets were in great demand and other choice cut flowers and potted plants sold well. Pink roses with white lilacs were a favorite coiui>uiation in large bouquets presented as tHientines.

Current G>0unent Winter one week and summer the next is what we had for the last month. Business has been fair at the markets, if only some florists would take into con- sideration the fact that the cutting down of prices does no good to anybody. Many newly built places are in need of plants, and their owners are wiHing to pay a fair price to stock them. Grow less stock, hold your' prices and you will certainly realize more money. The planting of the continuation of the Audubon boulevard, one mile long from St. Charles avenue toward Canal street, has been a big job and has just been fin- ished by the Metairie Eidge Nursery Co. Many large palms have been set out. Lots are selling fast and it will be one of the great sights of New Orleans. The florists handling flowers and deco- , rations are certainly busy at this time. Flowers and plants for receptions and balls, given during this season, are used in greater quantity than in 1907 or 1908, and the prospects are for a satisfactory ending of the season.

St. Valentine's day proved a grand success for the florists of this vicinity. Nearly all claim to have done far more business than a year ago. The demand was heavy on all kinds of small flowers, such as valley, sweet peas, etc., but vio- lets were in the lead, the quantity used being far in excess of any amount ever sold in this city before. All kinds of bulb stock sold better than heretofore, and on Sunday morning the counters were well cleaned of everything. Various Notes. Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, reports good business, having handled 16,000 violets for St. Valentine 's day, as well as large quantities of carnations and other stock. Albrecht & Smith report that on Val- entine's day they had one of the best days' trade so far in their new store, having done a great deal more than was expected. The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. handled over 90,000 double violets for St. Valen- tine week. Knoble Bros, are more than satisfied with St. Valentine trade; they report a grand clean-up. Carl Hagenburger, of West Mentor, is cutting some fine Princess of Wales vio- lets and sweet peas. H. R. Carlton sent in some good sweet peas for St. Valentine trade. H. Heepe 's Sons, of Akron, were heavy buyers here last week. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Heepe spent Friday in town. B. Established in 1587 ^wSm 1657-1659 Buckingham Place L.D.

Taepke, with some Brides and Maids, fine vases of Enchantress, Kose- pink Enchantress, Beacon and Lady Bountiful ; also some of the once popular red, Wm. Crane. John Dinser showed a nice assortment of ferns; also some bulbous stock. Charles Plumb staged some well done Brides and Maids and several vases of unusually fine carnations. Of course, Mr. Plumb also was on hand with a variety of bulbous stock. Peter Kahl, who has just branched out into carnation growing, brought down Lawson, White Lawson, Enchant- ress and Eose-pink Enchantress, all of which were good. Thos. Browne and Albert Stahelin were also on the stand with a variety of car- nations. A deep pink seedling shown by the latter looked promising. August "Von Boeselager again showed his seedling carnation, Clara, which at- tracted so much attention at a recent meeting. B. Schroeter displayed a small vase of Winsor and Afterglow. Other exhibitors were B. Klagge and Perd. Kolbe. In all, the quantity of stock shown, Newman Floral CCiL'. (JEstabUslied 1870) SLS^iSSirT New York City flowers for Steamer Sailings ST. LOUIS, MO.

The present scarcity of stock and a blizzard which is sweeping the city kept away many who would have participated. A vase of White Killarney attracted an unusual amount of attention. After adjournment of the meeting, lunch was served. Varioitt Notes. Miss Flammer, of the Lorraine Flower Shop, has been on the sick list for some time. Mr. and Mrs. P. Breitmeyer left hur- riedly for Philadelphia the first part of this week, to attend the funeral of Mrs. Breitmeyer 's mother. Mrs. Sullivan has been quite ill for some time, but the writer is pleased to be able to state that she will soon be on duty again. This firm sent out some very attractive St. Valentine greetings. Recent visitors were T. McGee, 'H. Heinl and George Bayer, all of Toledo; A. M. Miller, of Chicago; B. Eschner, of Philadelphia. H. S. STEAMER SAILINGS.

The mail trade is keeping right up to the best February records. Canners are again inquiring for peas, but none seem interested in corn. The mail-order houses report a con- siderable increase in the southern busi- ness, especially with truckers. California growers are now pretty well cleaned up on surpluses and are bending all energies to the next crop. Wholesale seedsmen are on the jump. If a buyer calls for stock that can be BuppUed, he expects it on the first train. Market garden business is enjoying something of a boom. The prices of vegetables in practically all markets are so high that the market gardeners are confident of a good return for their early crops and are pushing things along. The Texas seedsmen, whose season is several weeks farther along than it is with the northern houses, say that the business is footing up ahead of last year and that in certain lines it has become difficult to fill orders. The U. S. Senate has requested the Treasury Department to state the amount of specific duties collected on imports during the last year and the cost of mak- ing the collections, also the same infor- mation regarding ad valorem duties. The information is desired in connection with the proposed tariff retifiion.

Otto Katzenstein & Co., Atlanta, Ga., report having secured the sole American rights for the distribution of a new tuber- ous plant called Helianti, which they say has gained a rapid populftrity in Europe because its yield is something phenomenal and its economical value great. Helianti is a hybrid belonging to the sunflower family. It grows ten feet high, with deep green foliage and bright yel- low flowers, but the edible parts are the root tubers. The tubers are plowed like potatoes and stored like sweet po- tatoes, in a cellar or barn, covered with No.34i WIBOLTTS SNOWBALL CAULIf LOWER-SEED is thr earliest of I all Snovballs, thei| . most compact, the surest header, is | giving the largest and snow- whitest heads, and is the best keeper in dry-weallier.

Kate Lock Aster Wins 1st prize again at Toronto Exhibition, as best long-stemmed Aster for florists' use, making six years in succession— every year since its introduction. I grow Aster "Miss Kate L'ock" exclusively, and have done so for ten years. My blooms are all selected when in their prime, which makes them a trifle high, BUT: it pays to buy the best. The cut shows a sample of blooms from which seed is selected. Can not supply seed by bulk this year; will fill all package orders. Enchantress-pink or Pure White, $1.00 per trade packet. J. H.

An ade- quate grant sufficient for the requirement of the association is given each year. Since the association is now placed on a firm foundation, it is fully expected that it will extend and develop throughout Canada to a still greater degree than it has in the past. IMPORTS.

VITAUTY OF SEEDS. Can tomato seed, cabbage, melon, cu- cumber and celery seeds, and all other garden seeds which retain their vitality for five years, be kept over two or three years and still be all right for sale and use, and will the plants be just as produc- tive and true in every way? Some of the garden books limit tomato seed to four years, and some books say five years. Which is right? Can seeds be kept in Mason fruit jars as satisfactorily as in any other way. I do not wish to keep seed longer than two or three years. Do any market gardeners ever keep their , garden seeds over for two or three years! For example, if seed was harvested in August, 1907, and not planted till May or June of 1909, it would be only one year and ten months. F. C. P. Seeds that have a vitality of from three to five years are usually all right the second or third year. I would not con- sider that they would be really good up to the full time stated. When seedsmen speak of the vitality of seed and put the limit at five years, they mean to say that the seed will germinate up to that time, but it will not germinate the full percentage. It will drop off, say, ten to fifteen per cent every year, and at the end of four or five years, in the case of seed that is put down as being good for five years, it would not ger- minate strongly enough to make it what would be called good seed. The thing to do, in all cases, is to plant the seed when it is received and not hold it at all. There are so many things that might happen to ruin the germination of the seed that it is not wise policy to take any chances on what it will do in any succeeding year. I may make one exception to this, and Quality of Aster Seeds IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE GROWER. Favorable conditionB amount to nought if seeds are not good. We take every precaution to have our seed true to name and of the highest quality. We have all the best for Florists' use. Now is the time to order, while stock is unbroken. ELMER D.

In all other cases it is not well to hold seeds longer than the year in which they are purchased. C. OUTDCXDR SHOW IN HILLEGOM. In April of this year there will be held an open-ground flower show in Hillegom, the center and the leading place of the Dutch bulb culture and export. This kind of show, which, as a first trial, was such a great success last year at Sassen- heim, will be held on a more extensive scale at Hillegom and promises to become very interesting. The printfipal idea of this open-ground show is to make it clear how to obtain the best results from planting Dutch bulbs in small and large gardens, in borders, terraces and lawns, and to make the most efifective combina- tions in beds and groups, combined with ' evergreens and early flowering shrubs, etc. The show ground occupies more than three acres of land and is divided into a French garden and an old Dutch gar- den. In the center of the old Dutch garden rises the town hall, an interest- ing, old-fashioned building, and just op- posite this town hall is the old church, which is situated on a hill near a small brook (old Dutch "gom"; hence the name "Hillegom"). It was erected in the fiftenth or sixteenth century. The brook, now turned into a canal, lies on the south side of the show ground and runs toward the old Haarlem lake, half a mile distant, which lake was drained and turned into beautiful agricultural land in the middle of last century. The narrow piece of land between the old Haarlem lake and the show ground lies below the level of the sea and also below the level of the surrounding canals. A draining mill is used to pump the water from this low land into the leading canal and it can be seen from the show ground. One has a beautiful view from the steps of the town hall over the bulb fields in this drained land into the low lying. I Gladiolus Bulbs Gladiolus America A few points of merit Color: A beautiful, soft, flesh pink, very light and much like Enchantress Carnation, except sUrhtly tinned with lavender, which gives it the delicate coloring of the most beau- tiful Lselias. Words fail to do justice in describing this grand and glorious color; it must be seen to be appreci ated. Pur- poses: For florists' use, its color makes it every- thing to be desired; deli- cate, attractive and abso- lutely new: no other color in Gladiolus like it or one- half so beautiful. It has created a sensation in the cut flower markets, selling for more than Ave times the price of other varieties. America.

Of the many new asters introduced of late years, this Is the peer of them all. It may truly be called perfection.

Aster Sec A WORD ABOUT The past season was a very favorable one in our section for thi were visited by many of the leading seedsmen and florists, and all pron( had ever seen growing. We have been steadily improving our strain grown in the United States. ^ t We desire to thank our florist friende will be able to secure all the varieties ordered, as usually we are sold on VICK & HILL CO.. Dear Sirs:- Last fall I cut and sold 290,000 cut . blooms of Asters, and I found your seed about the best I had, in some cases far ahead of others.- Alberta P. Brace, Lockport, N. Y., Jan. 4, 1909. Cardinal The color is. as its name implies, a beautiful shade of cardinal. The growth is similar to the Branching Asters, but some dwarfer. The flower- ing season begins about the middle of August and the flowers retain their brilliant coloring for many weeks. Pkice : Per oz., $2.00; ^i oz., $1.25; '4 oz., 75c; oz., SOc; 1-16 oz., 40c. Purity The White Daybreak.— A pure white aster of great beautv, which originated with us several years ago. The plant is of most symmetrical habit, usually growing about 18 inches high. The plants are literally one mass of snow white flowers of large size, resembling great balls of snow. As a cut flower variety Purity is first-class, the stems being long and strong, and the plant is of a free and branching habit. This variety is thought very highly of by all Horists who have seen it growing at our seed farm. Phkk : Per oz.. $1.50; H; oz., SOc; I4 oz., 50c; 'm oz.,35c. Daybreak The seed of this aster has always been scarce, but this year we have a fine stock of seed, and are prepared to fill all orders from seed grown from our own original stock. The flowers are large and double to the center; the color is an exquisite shade of sea shell pink, resembling the color of Daybreak Carnation. The plant is a strong, com- pact grower, and the flowers are borne upright on long stiff stems. A field of the plants in bloom is a sight never to be forgotten, and is charming be- yond description. Pimce : Per oz., $1.50, k; oz., SOc; U oz., 50c; 'm oz., 36c. Royal Purple The flowers are large with full centers well cov- ered, petals flat and incurved. Color a rich shade of royal purple. This variety is distinct in growth from the Branching Asters. The side stems start from the main stem close to the ground, instead of branching out from the main stem at various heights as in the branching varieties. Season early Price : Per oz., $1.50; K; oz., SOc; Vi oz., 50c; V oz., .35c. Sunset The habit of the plant is the same as the well- known varieties. Daybreak and Purity.

Vick's Late Branching The Money Makers.— Vick's Branching Asters are the most satisfactory Aster to grow of any on the market today, and are now so well known to the trade that it would be useless for us to say very much in their favor. We can say, however, that our strain of seed is unsurpassed by any other, in fact it is the finest that can be grown. The Branching Asters are without doubt the most prof- itable for the florist and wholesale grower, as they can by successive sowings be had in bloom from August until late fall, and the grower can always demand the highest price for good fiowors of this kind. ^ Vick's White Branching The premier white aster, and has no equal as a money maker: flowers very large, resembling large white chrysanthemums, and borne on stems from twelve to eighteen inc^e8 in length. Pkice: Per oz., $1.25: ^2 oz., 66c; >4 oz., 35c; '« oz., 20c. Vick's Rose Branching Always in good demand, a fine variety for cut- ting, as the stems are extra long, flowers very large and a fine rose color. Price : Per oz., $1.25; Hi oz., 65c; '4 oz., 35c; ^h cz., 20c. Vick's Pink Branching A fine bright pink branching variety, and is not eenerally known. Petals arc flat and the flower is the same shape as White Branching. Price : Per oz., $1 25; ki oz., 65c; '4 oz., 36c; 'm oz , 20c. Vick's Crimson Branching Very prolific and the earliest of the Branching Asters to bloom. Price : Per oz., $1.26; '•i oz., 66c; '4 oz., 36c; 'soz., 20c. Vick's Dark Violet Branching This aster will take a leading place in the dark shades and is bound to be a favorite. The color is that rich dark shade that sets o(T the beauty of floral designs. The flowers are of extraordinary size, and stand erect on long, graceful stems. Price : Per oz., $1.25; k; oz., 66c; '4 oz., 35c; 'h oz., 20c. Vick's Lavender Branching The flowers are- large, of good form, borne on long, stiff stems. The color is very pleasing— a fine shade of lavender. We have found this a good variety to grow for the market. Price: Per oz., $1.26; Hi oz., 65c; '4 oz., 86c; '»< oz., 20c. Vick's Purple Branching A beautiful and most desirable shade of royal purple, a color that is always in great demand, and makes a striking contrast wiih White and Pink Branching.

Vick's New Early Branching A distinct advance in the branching class. The Early Branching come into bloom about two weeks earlier than the Late Branching. The plants have but few branches and are free from side buds, the whole strength of the plant being given to the development of the very large and perfect flowers, which are borne on extra long stems. We offer two colors only. Early Branching White and Early Branching Rose. Price : Per oz., $1.75; "u oz.. $1.00; '4 oz., 60c; '« oz., 86c; 1-16 oz., 20c. Hohenzollern Asters This magnificent aster may justlv be called the Ostrich Plume. The habit of the plant is branch- ing, bearing flowers of mammoth size on long stems. The flowers are double with curled petals, resembling giant chrysanthemums. An interest- ing class, and always admired. Hohenzollern White The plant grows tall and branching, bearing flowers of mammoth size on long stems We have cut many flowers on stems measuring from eigh- teen to twenty-four inches in length.

Improved Semple's Pink Branching Upright White Branching: Violet King The habit is similar to the popular Vick's Branch- ing, vigorous in growth, long, stiff stems. In form the flower is entirely new and distinct from any other variety; petals somewhat resemble the quilled varieties, out are much larger and broader, those in the center being curled and incurved, completely covering the crown. In shape and size the bloom is round, full and very large, many of the flowers measuring from four to five inches. The color is a soft violet-lilac. It comes into bloom several days before Vick's Branching. Price: Per oz., $1.50; \. oz. 35c; 1-16 oz., 20c.

Petals long and re- curved, and in many irresjular and twisted, which gives it a very graceful effect. We find that this aster comes much more double from plants that were started from seed sown in plats in the green- house about April 1 than from seed sown in out- side seed-beds in May. and would advise starting the seed of this variety in the greenhouse about the date first mentioned.

A seedling from that grand old variety, Semple's Pink, which, on account of its earliness, will cer- tainly become equally and we predict more popu- lar than its parent. The color is of the same shade of bright pink, and the habit of the plant and form of flowers are identical, being of the same strong, robust growth and branching habit. Its greatest value is in its earliness, blooming as It does ten days earlier than Semple'sPink. (See illustration.) Prick; Per oz., $2 00; ^ oz., $1.25; "4 oz., 75c; 'm oz., 50c; 1-16 oz., 30c.

Empress Frederick A new Comet Aster that impressed us most favor- ably the past season. The plant is rather dwarf in growth, but vigorous, and bears very large white flowers in the greatest profusion. We do not rec- ommend this aster for cutting purposes, but where a stem of medium length can oe used to advantage this variety is very useful, especially for design work.

Rosy Carmine Many call the new color a light scarlet— in fact, a field of it in full bloom has the appearance of a field of Scarlet Asters The color is hard to de scribe, but we think Rosy Carmine about right. This new aster is a beauty, and, as with all our new asters, it has stood trial for several years, and we think it improves each year.

Queen of the Market Earliest of All.— Decidedly the best early aster, producing flowers in profusion on long stems, and being several weeks earlier than any other aster. The flowers are very double, rendering them of ex- ceptional value for cutting purposes. Most of the Queen of the Market Aster seed sold in this coun- try is grown in Germany, but we prefer to grow our own seed, for we must have the best that can be produced for our florist trade. Start your seed of this variety as early as possible to get best re- sults. We offer five distinct colors, white, light blue, dark blue, rose and lavender.

Another season's trial of this great aster con- firms the opinion we had already formed, that the Upright White Branching Aster is bound to be one of the leading asters for shipping purposes. As the flowers are very large, double and firm, stems long and straight, two feet or more in length, color a pure white, a bunch of twenty-five cut blooms shows up in fine shape. A first-class variety and one that every shipper should grow in- quantity. Earlier than Vick's White Branching. Price: Per oz., $2.00; Ha oz., $1.25; "4 oz., 75c; 's oz.. 50c; 1-16 oz., SOc.

The Market The demand for flowers last week was good, considering that it was affected somewhat by the bad weather. Retailers generally report a fair business, with good prices. Beauty roses have not been overplenti- ful, especially the medium priced ones, and these are not exceptionally good. Other roses are good and just about enough to go around, considering the light demand for them. Carnations have been plentiful and easy to get — all the retailers wanted at reasonable prices. Lincoln's birthday created a demand for a certain line of flowers. On St. Valentine's day, although the weather was bad, the trade was good in all lines, especially in violets, great numbers of bunches being sold at regular prices. Bulbous flowers are coming in quan- tity, but have not been swift sale as yet. VariotM Notes. The Gallup Floral Co. has moved from its location on Sixteenth street to 1546 California street. A. C. Sinram, of Arapahoe street, will open a new store for the sale of cut flow- ers and plants about March 1, at the comer of Fifteenth and Tremont streets. J. A. Valentine has returned from the carnation convention and other eastern points. Frank Crump, of Colorado Springs, was a recent visitor. Emil Glauber, of the Montclair Green- houses, has returned from New York and the east. F. X. Goeschel has opened a store at First avenue and Broadway. E. S. K. LOUISVILLE, KY. Business for the last three weeks has been fairly good. Cut flowers and bloom- ing plants are moving well at moderate prices. Some good azaleas, cyclamens and primroses are to be had. Cinerarias are coming in also, but are limited. Cut hyacinths and tulips are plentiful, but flower buyers prefer roses and carna- tions; consequently bulb stock is not sell- ing well. In fact, you have to do some tall talking to make a sale of them. Val- entine's day is improving every year. Some of the florists think it will equal Christmas in a few years. Most of the stores had good displays for that day, Jacob Schulz being the leader. Henry Fuchs also had a beautiful display of hyacinths and tulips in boxes and pans and a variety of potted plants. At the last session of the bowling club James Doerr's team put it over Will Walker's team to the tune of three straight. Louis Kirch was the king of the evening. K. E. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending the Review $2, .$3, or occasionally $5, in- stead of the dollar bill that insures fiity- two visits of the paper.

The 84th annual convention will be held at Roches- ter. June, 1909. The Stark brothers, of Louisiana, Mo., are the third generation of Starks in the nursery business. The Genesee Valley Nurseries, of Rochester, N. Y., has been incorporated, with a capital stock of $10,000. The consensus of opinion is that the nursery trade is starting in upon its best year. In almost all parts of the -country the demand is strong and such surpluses as there are appear to be merely local, while there are very general shortages. CONNECTICUT NURSERYMEN.

Atwater, Collinsville ; treasurer, W. W. Hunt, Hartford; secretary, J. Vidbourne, Hartford. LIRIODENDRON CHINENSE. One of the most stately and interesting trees native of North America is the tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipfera). It is said to be the sole remnant on this continent of a genus which at an earlier epoch was abundantly represented not only in North America, but Europe as well. Another tulip tree occurs in China, of which a specimen probably as fine as any to be seen in Europe is growing in the collection of Kew Gardens, Lon- don. At first thought to be merely a geographical form of the North Ameri- can species, the Chinese tree has since, by both Sargent and Hemsley, been con- sidered distinct enough to rank as a species. The flowers are not so large, the petals are narrower and the fruit is more elongated. The tree in its native habitat is usually from fifteen to twenty feet high. The Kew specimen at eight years old is ten feet high, and the leading growth made during the past summer was four feet in length. The most striking characteristic of the tree at its present stage is its magnificent foliage. A leaf was measured, the blade of which was thirteen inches long and ten inches broad. It is probable, however, that as the tree grows older the foliage \Vill be reduced in size, and approximate to that of the American species. Although this Chinese tree is not likely in any way to displace the older liriodendron in the esteem of arboriculturists, it will make an interest- ing addition to a group of trees of sin- gular charm and distinction.

MY MARYLAND This new rose, which was introduced last season in a limited way, has proved to be one of the best roses ever introduced. Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the largest, most progressive aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties for indoor cul- ture; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

Mention The Review when you write. EUREKA SPRINGS, ARK. Definite plans have at last been made for starting a florists' establishment in this city, where such an establishment has long been needed, and the man who has undertaken the: enterprise is Clayton I. Poor, formerly of Jonesville, Mich. Mr. Poor had recently sold out his Michigan business, and was looking out for a location, when Eureka Springs was brought to his notice by a small ad- vertisement which had been placed in the Review by F. S. Hawley, of this city, who owns property which had been pro- nounced an ideal site for greenhouses. Among the fifty or more immediate re- plies to the advertisement, Mr. Poor's reply was the first to reach its destina- tion and he quickly followed his letter here, in order to make a personal investi- gation. February 11 he closed a lease for the offered property, including a cot- tage :afld. a Igt'fjroutag&vof 127 feet on Now ready.

Business took a decided lunge forward last week, and there was no cause for complaint about lack of orders. Wed- dings, receptions and dinners were numer- ous and, ending with St. Valeritine's day, Tnade demand good. Every year flowers seem to become more and more the ac- cepted, correct Valentine gift, rather than the lacy paper creations of our grandmothers, and as a result florist suppliers vie with each other in producing novelties in boxes and flower furbelows. White roses and white carnations arc a little scarce, and red was greatly in demand the latter part of the week, and consequently very scarce. Various Notes. James Soudeu and W. D. Desmond are opening a flower store on the corner of Ninth street and Hennepin avenue, ex- pecting to be ready for business March 1. They have leased a new store, with a fine front entirely of glass, and the plans are for one of the finest cut flower stores in the northwest. The Minneapolis Floral Co. had a couple of good decorations last week, making use of some of their large cut of bulb stock. Valentine 's day brought a number of out-of-town orders, mostly calling for violets. R. A. Latham has remodeled and rear- ranged his store, and the increased space thereby obtained will be a great advan- tage when the usual spring rush takes possession of the store. O. C. Swanson had a number of fine bunches for February 14. Violets and orchids in fancy white satin finished boxes created a large demand for dupli- cates. Miss Whitted had an attractive window of assorted baskets of flowers, and re- ports a busy week. Department stores are coming in again this year with their preseason attrac- tions, carnations at 2 cents each, and violets at 15 cents per bunch, etc. - . M. E. M. Grand Rapids, Mich. — The Grand Rapids Floral Co., formerly at 149 Mon- roe street, has moved to its new quarters at 145 Monroe street. This store has been remodeled to meet the requirements of the new occupants and is now one of the best appointed flower stores in the city. NEW WHITE CARNATION Best for quality GEORGIA Come and See it THE BEST WHITE Best for quantity This variety is bound to supplant other whites, as it not only produces as many, or more flowers, but every one of them comes with a perfect calyx, borne on a long stem, supporting the bloom in perfect shape. This fact makes it greatly superior to other varieties as a money maker. We have 20,000 cuttings in the sand for January delivery. Rooted Cuttlnss, $2.00 per dozen, $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.

Knopf A grand yarletyrcomes into bloom early and remains steady the balance of the Beaeon. 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. Oesortptlon:— The color of Mrs. Chas. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. The flower is 4^ 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 sti£Fer, it keeps and 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 habit is ideal: closely resembles Enchant- ress, 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, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives 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. ThehabitiBideal;easy to handle: does well from fleld or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 50 to 52. Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 80 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up the flower gracefully at all times of the year.

Saturday looked threatening at first, but cleared off later. Pot plants were in heavy demand; anything in pots found a ready sale. Violets, sweet peas and carnations were worn a great deal on the streets. From reports, business was be- yond expectations, for all the violets in town were sold by night. However, sweet peas, freesias, carnations and roses made good valentines, and a large quan- tity of this stock was disposed of. Aside from the holiday business, trade has been good. The Exchange, after the early morning hours, looks like a banquet hall deserted, and the telephone wires are hot all around with hurried inquiries as to who has this or who has the other. Varioitt Notes. The regular meeting of the club was held February 8, which was also carna- tion night. The attendance was good and a fine collection of blooms was on exhibi- tion. Some fine blooms of the standard varieties were shown, as well as some seedlings which were conceded by some growers to have a bright future. John Cook, the originator of My Maryland rose, was unable, on account of sickness, to attend and give his ideas as to the best methods of growing this rose, but has promised to do so later. The rose is doing excellently at Mr. Cook's, and he also has several promising seedlings in red and pink which will be heard from later. A large electric sign has been placed over Lexington market, naming the mar- ket days — Tuesday, Friday and Saturday — which is a great help to visitors who desire to see one of the , finest markets to be found anywhere. This was planned by Thomas Paterson, who is the present market master and is also a florist him- self. Q.

WASHINGTON. The Market. Business last week was a record-breaker with most stores, and stock was scarce. Tulips are most plentiful at present, Valentine's day, from all* reports, was good, but would have been better had it been on a week day. Violets sold better than ever, but there were enough to go around. Various Notes. Most of the stores had Valentine win- dows, displaying huge red hearts pierced with a golden arrow. George Shaffer's window had a heart made of violets and orchids, which showed up finely. - David Bisset, of Garrett Park, Md., is sending in some of the finest single violets that reach this market. The Washington Florists' Co. had a Lincoln window for February 12, with a photograph of President Lincoln, a lot of split rails and an old ax. The whole arrangement was very artistic. The Gude Bros. Co. had the decoration for a tea reception given by the Prin- cess Kalanianaole for the ex-queen of the Hawaiian islands. Palms and blooming plants were banked throughout the house. The parlor was done in white roses and lilacs, the reception hall in Golden Gate roses. The main feature of the decoration was the table, done in the royal colors, purple and white. The chandelier over the table was done in asparagus, cattleyas and oncidiums, with bows of ribbon. A branched, moss-cover- ed stump on the center of the table was arranged with orchids and Farleyense ferns. Huge bows of purple and yellow ribbon were used on the table. George Cook had the dinner for Sen- ator Depew, using 800 carnations and Farleyense. All the different shades of pink were used. The decoration consisted of eight pieces and was very effective. There was an unusual demand for funeral work this week, both in and out of town. The funeral of Mr. Adams, an official of the Southern railway, called for some large pieces. A large stand- ing wreath, made of red roses, white lilac, violets and valley, was especially fine; also a casket cross made solid of violets, with clusters of cattleyas and valley. There were a great many wreaths and other designs too numerous to men- tion, nearly all high class work. Mrs. J. A. Phillips has been quite ill, but is on the mend again. A report of the death of John H. Small will be found in this week's obit- uary column. O. O. Obeblin, O. — Harry A. Cook will shortly open a flower store, to be run in connection with his greenhouses.

Sixty-five persons attended the first banquet of the Rochester Commercial Florists' Association, at tlje Hotel Eg- gleston, Thursday evening, February 11. Before the supper a business meeting was held at the store of George B. Hart, 24 Stone street. It was decided to invite the S. A. F. to hold its national convention at Roch- ester in 1910. In this ftonnection "a reso- lution was unanimously adopted favoring the enlargement of Convention hall along the lines favored by the Chamber of Com- merce. The subject of a flower show the coming fall was also favorably con- sidered, but definite action was .deferred. The Rochester Commercial Florists ' As- sociation was organized by the retail florists. It has a membership of about 100, and includes growers of flowers and ornamentals, private gardeners, and mem- bers of allied industries. The oflScers are: President, Fred W. Vick; vice- president, A. H. Seeker; secretary, H. B. Stringer; treasurer, W. L. Keller. W. H. Dildine, of James Vick's Sons, Was toastmaster at -the banquet. Chas. A. Brown, of Brown Bros., nurserymen, extended greetings and good wishes on behalf of the Rochester Nurserymen's Association and pointed out some of the benefits of organization. A. H. Seeker, of Salter Bros., spoke on "Organiza- tion." W. L. Keller, of J. B. Keller's Sons, had for his subject, "Our Voca- tion." R. G. Salter spoke on "Sociabil- ity. ' ' George B. Hart gave a brief sketch of the association and referred to the forthcoming national convention. Short addresses were also delivered by Charles H. Vick, W. F. Kasting, Charles Malloy, Edward Osborne and John Dunbar. W. D. Valette, traflSc manager of the Cham- ber of Commerce, outlined methods of work necessary for forwarding such an organization. He invited the members of the association to be the guests of the Chamber of Commerce at its first open meeting in March, and assured them of the hearty cooperation of that body.

Febkuaby 18, 1009. MILWAUKEE. TiuVlukeL With favorable weather up to last Sat- urday and with plenty of good stock ex- cept in roses and Beauties, business was good. Saturday came in with snow and wind, and with the weather man predict- ing a cold wave. A good many pros- pective buyers, therefore, hesitated in placing orders. Consequently the amount of business for St. Valentine's day did not come up to expectations. Bed carna- tions and violets were most called for, but still some of the latter were left over. Funeral work was quite plentiful. Various Notes. The entertainment committee of the Florists' Club was well rewarded for its work at the annual dancing party, held February 11. The hall was neatly dec- orated with palms and ferns, donated by the A. F. Kellner Co, Charles Menger and E. Welke, and southern smilax from the Holton & Hunkel Co. The weather being ideal, the attendance was large, thus making it the most successful affair, socially and financially, of its kind thus far. No doubt these events are the best means of promoting the feeling of good fellowship among the craft. The Eev. E. Perry, of the Wesley Meth- odist Episcopal church, of this city, re- cently held a second flower service, dis- tributing 1,000 red carnations, while he used fully as many roses for the previous service, thus putting our product in a still higher class than it is sometimes credited with. That strange bird, the stork, paid the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Leidiger a visit last Thursday, leaving a bouncing baby girl. There is great rejoicing, as it is their first-bom. The destruction by fire of the ware- house of the Johns-Manville Co., 225 Clybourn street, last Saturday, was quite a sad affair, causing the death of five firemen, with several others hovering be- tween life and death at this writing. It was the falling of a brick wall which caused the calamity. E. O.

TWO PARALLEL HOUSES. Kindly tell me how much hot water pipe would be required to heat to 60 de- grees two greenhouses, both in one block, each house 16x65 and nine feet six inches to the ridge. The walls are four feet six inches, with two feet of glass, and the south gable is glass. The houses have even-span roofs and run north and south, with a shed, 10x32, at the north end. I should like to use 2-inch flow pipe and 1^-inch or IV^-inch returns. Would a boiler rated at 350 square feet of radia- tion be large enough? The temperature never goes below zero in this part of Oregon. C. K. Each of the houses 16x65 feet should be provided with at least one 2-inch main flow pipe and nine 1%-inch returns. If the houses are built with a common par- tition wall, five of the nine 1%-inch radi- ating pipes can be placed on the outside wall and four on the inside, in each house. The two houses together require a little over 600 square feet of radiation. It will, therefore, be economical to in- stall a boiler rated to carry not less than 750 square feet of radiation, and one rated at 1,000 square feet will be still safer. L. C. C. POOR CIRCULATION. Will you kindly inform me as to where the trouble Ues in my heating sys- tem? I have two connected, even-span greenhouses, 20x50 feet. They run north and south and the boiler is at the north end of the west house. From the boiler I have run one 3-inch pipe in both houses, to the extreme south end of the houses, returning by 2-inch pipes. There are seven 2-inch pipes on the west side of the houses, seven 2-inch pipes on the east side and seven 2-inch pipes in the center, where the two houses are joined, there being no partition between them. The expansion tank is located about six "DETROIT )J Automatic Return Steam Traps APo-mveFjct^or^^^^ Fof Stcam Heated Greenhouses ''Detroit** Traps will keep entire Bvetem free from water at all times, making every foot of heating surface hot and efficient, returning automatically all water of «Miv-«MvMiMMiiaM condensation directly into tbe boiler — hot— and w^ithout a pump or injector.

Now, what I should like to know is, what is the reason that I cannot get hot water in all of those 2-inch pipes? The best I can do is to get hot water in four of them. The other three have cold water, but still the return pipe, which is located at the extreme north end of the house, has hot water, and also the water in the expansion tank is hot. The ex- pansion tank has a circulation through both the main and return. J. H. S.

Sometimes a slight buckle in the returns gives lots of trou- ble in the circulation. L. C. C. HOT WATER FOR SMALL HOUSE.

There is a zigzag flue up through, for coal smoke, but I intend to fill this flue with old brick and use gas for fuel. The boiler will be in the cellar of my dwelling, with a flow pipe from the top of the boiler to the far or east end, under the bench against the north wall and halfway across the end, where it will connect with the returns, two under the bench with the flow and three under the other, all connected to one main re- turn, which will drop to the bottom of the boiler. There will be a barrel ex- pansion tank, with a capacity of twenty or thirty gallons, in the attic, twenty feet above the boiler, and connected to the return at the boiler with %-inch pipe. All the other pipes, both flow pipe and returns, will be li4-infh. I will connect both the flow and the main re- turn with smaller nipples, as the boiler- holes are small. I am located in southwestern Pennsyl- vania and want a temperature of 55 or 60 degrees in zero weather. C. D. I think it would be better to tap the boiler out so as to allow the use of a ll^-inch main flow and at least a 11^ -inch return. I should carry a 11/4 -inch flow under the ridge of the house to the far end and take off branches to feed four l^^-inth returns under each side bench. In other respects the plant is all right. L. C.

Stock was just about equal to the de- mand, so that there was a general clean- up among the wholesale houses, with scarcely a flower left over, and the re- tailers give a similar report. Prices ruled good, but not much higher than the gen- eral run lately. There was some ad- vance, however. Violets did not advance much, as there was a heavy supply of them and they were about the only flower that did not sell out clean. The late ar- rivals did not sell out as well as had been expected. Business continues good and this week starts out better than for some time. The market is well cleaned out. Roses, carnations, bulbous flowers — in fact, all sorts of flowers are bringing better prices. Many growers are off crop now, and that tends to lessen the supply. If the de- mand holds out, there will be a few weeks of good prices. Variouc Notes.

Cftfrent Comment. The Tri-Cities experienced one of the /* most sudden drops of the temperature Tuesday morning, February 9, that have been known hereabouts. It fell 15 de- grees in one hour. H. H. Hensley, of Kock Island, has purchased the half interest of his partner, Mr. Khodes, in the Long View Floral Co., and will hereafter conduct the business himself under the same name. The Tri-City Florists' Club held its regular monthly meeting at the home of Henry Gaethje, Sr., in South Eock Is- land, Thursday evening, February 11, and when President Knees called the meeting to order nearly all members were present. A letter from Adolph Arp, now of Meridian, Miss., but formerly of Dav- enport, la., and a charter member of the club, was read with interest. In the let- ter Mr. Arp stated he intended to make Meridian his future home, and the club forthwith made him an honorary member. The annual banquet of the club was decided to be held at the Outing Club, Davenport, March 25, and will be at- tended by the florists and their wives, em- ployees and a few intimate friends. After the luncheon at 7 p. m., the rest of the - evening will be made merry by dancing and entertainment. The topic of discussion for the evening was, ' ' Does It Pay to Invest in t Jie New- est Novelties in Rooted Cuttings?" The subject was a good one and was well talked over, and the consensus of opinion was that it does not pay the small com- mercial florist until the varieties have been thoroughly tested and proven good. The next regular meeting of the club will be held at Davenport, la., the exact place as yet not having been selected. OflScers for the following year will be nominated and elected. After the adjournment of the meeting, refreshments were served. H. M.

"Beplying to your favor requesting our experience with Pecky Cypress, we will say, we have been using^ this grade of Cjrpress in our Greenhouses and plant benches for the last ten or twelve years and bo far have not found any of this wood that has all rotted out. We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock only lasted about four years, while so far we have had no Pecky Cypress rot out in ten or twelve yeais. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose. BASSETT & WASHBURN."

The Weekly Florists' Review* ..> THE RETAIL FLORIST I • THE MASONIC DESIGN. The accompanying illustration shows a somewhat unusual design made by Charles P. Mueller, Wichita, Kan., for the obsequies of a thirty-third degree Mason. The masonic eagles were made with Roman hyacinths, the border being of carnations. The eagles' heads were made of immortelles, although it would have been possible to have made them of colored carnations. The crown was of Paper Whites. Smilax not only backed the whole design but served to outline the upper parts. THE RETAIL TRADE. [An abstract of a talk by Edward MacMiUkin. of Boston, Mass., before the floricultural cUsses of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Feb- ruary 17, 1909.] During the last thirty years the meth- ods of conducting a first-class florists' business have improved year by year, and the knowledge of the business required of a first-class man has increased corre- spondingly. Years ago it was suflBcient for a man to know the name of a few common flowers and be able to put them in a box and tie them up. That was the end of it. There were no such things for the ordinary public as decorated dinner tables, decorated halls, churches, etc. All those were for people of large means, who had greenhouses of their own. Now all well regulated households have more or less of decorations when they give a dinner, and devote considerable time to the selection of the flowers and expect the florist to be of considerable assist- ance in the selection. This is as it should be, for the reason that if with your assistance your customer is satisfied with the result of the combined efforts, he la sure to want it another time, and not only that, but he will also recom- mend you to his friends who want similar work done for them. The Building of a Business. The florist is under a handicap, in a way, ^n the conduct of his business, from the fact that conditions are not always favorable to pushing his goods before the public by advertising them, as does his neighbor in other lines of trade, through the daily press, periodicals, etc. It is practically conceded in the trade that the florists ' business is a one-man affair, and that practically all who want to buy flowers know where they are going to get them, or have some friend who will tell them the best place to get what they want. For this reason it is wholly up to the man himself to make his business. He must not only be thoroughly in- formed about it, but he must have good taste, b« courteous to his customers, ready to supply their wants, and prompt in the execution of his orders, and he must demand the same qualities in his employees. In this connection I am sorry to say that a large number of florists do not take kindly to the idea of customers of their establishment wanting to do their business with ,any special employee. Per- sonally I would consider it a compli- ment to my judgment to have men in my employ in whom my customers have enough confidence to intrust to them the execution of their orders. This difficulty is due more to a lack of education and proper spirit in the employer, and as new men with new ideas enter the bnai ness, this stumbling block to the young men will be remove*!. Any of you yottnlj don't take this, you can't get it any- where else." Unfair G>mpetition. The competition, I am sorry to say, is not always fair in a florist, any more than it is in other lines. In fact, the chances for deception are greater with the florist, if he be at all unscrupulous. For instance, a man may go to a legiti- mate house and say he wants so many of one thing and so many ^f another, or wants a certain decoration put up and wants certain good things in it. You tell him what it will cost him, intending to give him what he asks for. Your com- I)etitor comes in then and says, "I can do the same thing for so much less, ' ' knowing at the time he could not do so except by furnishing an inferior article. You can buy a rose for 5 cents and you can buy the same variety for- 25 cents, but it is still a rose, and the trouble with a great many people is that a rose is a rose and they cannot see why the price '"•'.'• V _r %";^ ^^^^^KS'^B^^^'i^BSStii ».''•■♦ r A."- ■'^^'■'9Stm K' ^^M'rS, '^ ii ijW'JPltj.. m ^!^H^^M'^3 i^^?^%. 1 ^^^^iP ^^p9 •vw■'••4#|.■•^f jF^ «S83lA^iiBvit^ o^H ^ J u*.-ia.'J?f*: , '^ / >a- n ir;.ix-i.'^?*rM ■ 'A^,«'4^ ii lB^f^mr'^Tl^^w4 ESPfl^ol^ift^ '*p^^^ - '^^^^^^^ v^^^^K^nKBrr^i '^^S^^n^fiwkwl '■; '^ <^s 1 .X- ^'^^ y^^^^'i Vf^i'^jvf [ ^^^^Jm'^^^Wt ^H:^^^m^ ^m» • "f^L.TS!™ ^^H^S' o'^H|||^^^^K^^^^9BHSa1 ^Pp;f : T^" VHb?^v''X'4' ^^'' r "«^1 Masonic Design by C P. Mueller. men who intend to enter the business, to be successful, must have one idea upper- most in your mind; that is, the convinc- ing of your customer that you are the man from whom he can get better re- sults for the money he expends than from any of your competitors. Competi- tion is abroad in the land. It has en- tered the florists' business as well as others, and the time has gone by when a man can say to a customer, "If you should be different in one place than in another. Of course, this does not happen often and is always disastrous to the cheap man. He makes that one trade, but he can never do business with^that customer again. Every man is entitled to a legitimate profit on his work. He must satisfy himself what that profit should be and he should get it. If his unscrupulous neighbor should take away a trade, it should not bother him. His •*™^,-:* The Weekly Florists^ Review . Fbbbuaby 25, 1909. 1 . ; /w; .d '. ^ :^^t^ ■■> -:--ii..

Modem Requirements. A man who goes into the florists' busi- ness today is in it to stay. To do a pay- ing business now, a man must invest con- siderable capital in fixtures and what we call dead stock ; that is, a certain amount of stock that must always be in your possession to do your business properly. You can, of course, open a small store at a small expense for fixtures and stock, keep your expenses in the way of labor down as low as possible and you can make a living. I would say to that man, keep out of it. You do not belong th^re. To be successful in these times as a florist, a man must have a presentable place to do business; he must have it well stocked; he must have enough and eflScient employees; he must have green- houses to store the goods necessary for his business, or he must hire them, thus reducing his profits; he must have or hire land for his landscape and garden work; in fact, he should be in a position . to tell his customer he can fix up his grounds or his garden as well as he can his table, and the customer nowadays not only wants it, but expects it; if you cannot do it for him he goes to the other man and the other man does it; he also sells flowers, and he sells them to your former customers, but yours no more. I do not for a moment say that all these facilities are necessary the day you start in business, but it should be every man's ambition to be the man. Every man entering the business from now on must have the ambition to be the proprietor of a place where everything in any manner connected with horticul- ture can be obtained for the asking. The business is as yet in its infancy. It will get its set-backs the same as any other. Lean years will appear now and then and the florist will feel it keener than other lines, because it is in part a luxury, but it will keep step now with all other industries and will average equally pros- perous. You here who have the advantage this college offers tor obtaining the practical knowledge of the cultivation of plants and flowers, the soil in which they return the best results, climatic conditions under which they should be cultivated, etc., have a decided advantage at the very beginning of your business career. You are starting off with a knowledge that it has taken your competitor years and years to acquire, and you know condi- tions which in the nature of things it would not be possible to know except in a place of this kind. Wotk for the Dull Season. The outdoor work of the florist is gradually assuming large proportions and is deserving of his best efforts. It is a well-known fact that what is called the store business of the florist is good only from about the first of October until the first of May; the rest of the year the florist who does nothing but a Htore business has hard work to make both ends meet, generally using up his profits to pay necessary expenses during the summer. Many years ago I saw the necessity of making the dull months profitable instead of a source of expense and, much to my surprise, found condi- tions were such that I would find no diffi- culty in providing work for men who would otherwise Save to remain idle. It is necessary to say here that experienced labor is diflScult to obtain, and when you get a man that knows his business it is more profitable to keep him than to let him go for a couple of months or so when you really have nothing for him to do. I found upon investigation that there were a great many men, say men who had a small, profitable business, men who fiUed good positions in large establish- ments, superintendents of manufactories, etc., who were purchasing small places Fandl's Germania Wreath.

I enclose a sample of diseased vinca vine. Please inform me as to the cause of the trouble and a remedy for it. M. A. B. It is not uncommon to see occasional plants of the variegated vinca afifected in this way. There are ,two principal causes, growing the plants in a house where they get little or no sun and too low a temperature. Vincaa will grow in a house just above freezing, but suc- ceed best in a night temperature of 50 de- grees, where they can have plenty of sun and air. A favorite way to grow them i.s along the edges of the benches. I should advise cutting down the affected plants. Run a little on the dry side until they break away from the bottoms freely again, and grow in a light, sunny house. This trouble need not worry you. It is due to some cause which can be easily remedied. C. W. HARRISII BUDS TURN YELLOV. I have been growing Harrisii lilies for five years and have had quite a loss each year through the buds coming deaf. The buds will sometimes get a full inch long before they get yellow and dry up. The lot I grew this year I was very particu- lar with, in both heating and watering. ^t no time were they over 60 degrees at night. The bulbs were first-class and rooted well before being put on the bench, where they grew as well as any pprson could expect. They reached the full height of the ordinary Harrisii and had perfect leaves to the buds. If you pos- sibly can, I wish you would enlighten me on this subject. Stanch Reader. Your temperature has been ideal for Harrisii and, as you say watering has been carefully done, there must be some other cause for the buds turning yellow. Attacks of green aphis will cause this trouble more quickly than anything else. Are you quite sure your plants have been regularly fumigated and that aphis has not been allowed to get in its work while the buds were young and hidden within the upper leaves? Overdoses of chem- ical fertilizers, such as nitrate of soda, will cause buds to yellow; also moving plants from a high to a low temperature. We are inclined to think the aphis may have been the cause of the trouble. C. W. CEWENT GUTTERS AND BENCHES. ' ' Cement gutters and benches versus those of other material furnish a topic that is often heard about lately. Winter weather has caiised much havoc with the cement work at different establish- ments. ' ' Tlie above paragraph recently ap- peared in print and since we have recom- mended cement gutters to those who saw them at our place during the carnation meeting, as well as to a great number of friends who wrote in regard to them, we wish to say that our cement gutters came through the severe winter weather in perfect shape. We are so well pleased with our experiment with a real concrete gutter (cement and gravel, wet) that we are now casting 1,200 lineal feet of the same kind of gutter. Anyone familiar with cement work can make these gutters. The outlay for forms, cast-iron attachments and rein- forcement is small. While we are always glad to answer inquiries regarding this gutter, we wish to say that drawings and instructions for making it will be published if further tests on a larger sc-ale confirm our ex- pectations. We also wish to say that, notwith- standing careful inquiries, we failed to locate any cement greenhouse walls in this country with which the winter weather had "caused much havoc." Neither, we are glad to state, was any- body in this vicinity unfortunate enough to have his cement benches exposed to the winter weather. Smith & Young Co. DECAYED PANDANUS. I enclose part of a leaf of Pandanus V'eitchii. I keep them in a house with a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees at night. They were fine plants when I purchased them, two months ago, but they are all spotted now, and decaying at the top of the pot. Will you kindly let me know what causes thisf R. F. G. The pandanus in question have evi- dently had a chill, if not actually touched by frost. The damage was probably done in transit at the time of purchase. A temperature of 55 degrees is rather loo low for Pandanus Veitchii, and if the plants were kept a little too wet at such a temperature, the leaves would be likely to spot more or less. A night tem- perature of 60 to 65 degrees is much more favorable for this plant. W. H. T. Olean, N. Y. — Mrs. F. H. Johnson has not a large place, but reports business good, particularly in design work. 10 The Weekly Rorists' Review. Fbbbdabx 25, 1909. A SUMMER ROSE HOUSE. Will you please state what is the best way to make a summer rose house? I have a mum house, with raised benches. Would you plant the roses on the benches or on the ground! If on the ground, would the old mum soil be all righf, plac- ing it on the ground, spading it all up and putting about six inches of rose soil on topt What are the best plants to start with — 21/^ -inch or 4-inch pot plants or dormant stock? What size of wire would you use for the plants and how high should they be? G. G. Summer roses invariably do best on ground benches. Old mum soil would not be suitable for the purpose. Procure some good, loamy sod and add one-fourth of good cow manure. Chop it all up and mix thoroughly, adding a 4-inch potful of bone meal to each bushel of the com- post. At this season well grown plants from 2% -inch pots are good stock for planting, though from 4-inch pots the results will be quicker. Unless you have had some experience with dormant stock, it is bet- ter to leave it alone. Kibes. ROSE ANTHRACNOSE. We are forwarding under separate cover, by express, specimens of our rose-trouble, which is confined to one house of Ivory and Uncle John. For several seasons we have kept a part of our stock over for a second year, and we started to follow out this method last summer, but along in July we noticed that some plants began to fail and the trouble seemed to spread in colonies around the first plants affected. We then cut out these blocks of unhealthy plants, re- filled the place with fresh soil and planted fresh stock, but in a short time those plants adjoining the plants first affected also showed the trouble. All the new shoots came out very weak, with thin, small foliage, of a pale green color, which soon after showed brown blotches toward the edges and finally dried up and fell off — the tips of the shoots first, and finally the whole branch drying up. A peculiar feature of the trouble is that in its first stage it generally shows on only a part of the plants and the others appear vigorous, but the healthy part generally succumbs to the trouble after a while. We have kept on tak- ing out affected plants right along, and replanting. The specimens sent are plants that were set in late in the season and did not make a heavy growth. We have been trying to fight it off by withholding water, and as a consequence have a fair sized crop of spiders on h&nd, of which we have no fear, as we have a splendid water supply and know how to reduce that trouble. Will it be wise to take cuttings from plants now apparently healthy? Will you kindly put us right in this matter, so as to prevent this trouble from occurring again? S. F. C. The plants reached me in excellent condition, which gave me a chance for a careful examination. While there are a few eelworms present, they are not numerous enough to cause the trouble. The worst trouble is the disease called rose anthracnose. Tliis disease frequent- ly attacks Golden Gate and Chatenay in tiieir second year. It usually manifests itself by showing a dead iwig, which commonly commences to die at the top and continues to die toward the base of the branch. At the same time the plant continues to put forth new and vigorous growths, which are attacked in turn and succumb. This is a disease which is hard to erad- icate, and as the plants affected must have lost some vitality, it would be risky to propagate from them. Elvery affected plant should be thrown out and all decaying matter removed. Spray once a week with the copper solution, using a very fine spray, so that every part of the leaves and stems may receive its quota. The solution consists of the following : Copper carbonate,, one ounce; ammonia enough to dissolve the copper; water, twelve gallons. This trouble usually shows up in Feb- ruary or March, and as the days get warmer the plants least affected will outgrow it. Cleanliness and plenty of ventilation are favorable factors in its extermination. Bqes. BLASTED ROSE PLANTS. What is the matter with my Beauties,, Brides and Maids? My Beauties grow nicely until almost ready to form the bud; then they blast and start growing anew from where they are blasted. This condition has lasted about a month and is steadily becoming worse. The sepals of the Brides and Maids grow to such length (being, in. fact, almost developed leaves), and are twisted about the petals so tightly, that they force the bud through the side having the least re- sistance. The ^enclosed bud will perhaps provide you with a clearer idea of my trouble than the explanation I write you. W. R. From the appearance of tlje bud en- closed, there is evidently some trouble at the roots. This blasting of the growth, with the subsequent growth from below, is one of the indications of the trouble called rose anthracnose, a serious affair in a rose house. Throw out all affected plants, dead branches, leaves, etc. Stir up the sur- face. Give plenty of ventilation, with a night temperature of 56 degrees and a day temperature of 60 to 80 degrees, and no feeding. As the days lengthen, those plants not already affected may outgrow the trouble. Bibes. POMPONS AND SINGLES. A correspondent has written me ask- ing cultural notes on how to grow pom- pons and singles with the idea of pro- ducing fine sprays of flowers, market sprays, as he terms it. They can be propagated at any time now, as the cuttings are in shape to take off the plants, and propagation can con- tinue till the middle of June. The earlier rooted stock can be topped for cuttings or kept pinched back till tho middle or end of June, when the plants, can be set out on the benches, single stem plants about 6x6 to 6x8, and larger plants that may carry a dozen shoots more room proportionately. As the plants grow, the shoots should be kept tied to wires or whatever sup- port is used until after the bud (which in the large flowered types would be called the crown bud) appears. Around this bud or break, for it is really tho natural break of the plant, many shoots begin to appear, and these are allowed to spread out and produce as many buds as they will. A little judicious thinning of the buds where the clusters are too numerous is time well spent, but much thinning is a waste of time and destroys the natural beauty of the sprays. There is as much difference between well grown singles and pompons as there is between exhibition flowers of the large- flowered kinds and the rubbish that passes in so many markets as the com- mercial grade. The artistic decorator grows enthusiastic when he sees beauti- ful sprays of the light and graceful singles, and many fine dinner tables were graced with nothing else last fall in New York. Some growers say there is no money in pompons or singles. The trite but true remark that there is room at the top applies here as well as anywhere. Do not think that because the flowers are small the plants do not need feed- ing with liquid fertilizers like the large fellows.

One thing I have notieed in the singles is that they should be ent jast about aa soon as the last flowers are opening in order to keep well, and let the stems stay in water twenty- four hours before shipping any distanee. As pot plants the singles sell on si^t. Put in a batch of cuttings May 15, pot them along as needed after being taken from the sand, and flower them in 6-inch pots. Do not pinch these plants in any shap^ or form. Simply put a stake in the pot and tie up the main shoot; the plants will assiune a beautiful bush form and when in flower sell on sight, and your customer will be so pleased that he will come back. Charles H. Totty. ADIANTUM CUNEATUM. As the fronds are closely cut from Adiantum cuneatum, the plants are bene- fited by a few weeks of rest in a rather cooler house, where they can be kept tolerably dry at the root. In repotting we find a good compost to be .fibrous loam two parts, leaf -mold one part, with a smaller quantity of dry and well broken up cow manure and a good dash of sharp sand. Some growers do not use any of the leaf -mold and, in the case of large plants, the cow manure can replace it, but young plants seem to relish the leaf -mold. Where plants have become of rather unwieldy size, they can be pulled or cut apart. They do not grow so satisfactorily as younger plants potted along, but will soon become estab- lished in a warm, moist house. Care should be taken, however, not to keep them too moist at the root. Small ferns are offered by specialists at such cheap rates that it scarcely pays for the small retailer to bother raising any from spores. This method of propa- gation is much the best for such varieties as A. cuneatum, gracillimum, decorum, concinnum, pubescens and formosum. Sow the spores in pans containing an equal mixture of loam and peat or leaf - mold, with a good mixture of fine sand. It is better to sterilize the compost to prevent weeds, seeds and scum appear- ing on the surface. Make the surface soil smooth, and water before scattering the spores. Place in a glass case where the sun's rays are excluded, in a moist house kept at 60 to 65 degrees at night. As soon as the little plants can be handled, prick out in patches in other pans or flats. Later, when they attain more size, they can be potted off sin- gly- GROWING FERNS FROM SPORES. Kindly give me all the information you can in regard to growing small ferns for filling fern dishes — when to sow the seed to have a crop for Christ- mas, the kind of soil, the temperature, and how long it takes to grow a crop from the time you sow the seed until the plants are salable. Please tell me, also, how to germinate the seed or spores to good advantage. G. J. L. For the germination of fern spores a shaded greenhouse, in which a tempera- ture of 60 to 65 degrees may be kept at night, is one of the first requisites. Or, for a small quantity of spores, a frame may be built on a bench in the green- house, and covered with a sash, in order to give control of the atmospheric con- ditions. Some clean 6-inch pots or pans are then prepared for the spores, by being two-thirds filled with cinders or broken pots for drainage. Then fill up the pots to within about half an inch of the top with some fine, light soil. Press down the soil firmly and smoothly, and then give the pots a good watering with a fine rose can, or dip them in a pail of water. After the pots have drained off well, say in the course of an hour or two, the spores should be sown thinly on the surface of the soil, without any covering of soil. Place the pgts in the frame and cover them with panes of glass. Then keep the frame rather close for the first two weeks or so, only giving air enough to dry off the condensed moisture each day. The lime of germination varies some- what with different species, but some signs of germination usually show in from two to four weeks in the case of the ordinary commercial species. After the seedlings have reached a certain size they are transplanted to other pans or flats, in which they remain until large enough to pot off. The time required to grow a crop of suitable sized plants for filling ferneries depends upon the specjps grown, but in most cases about a year is required. The members of the pleris family are among the most rapid growers. If the seed pots have been well wa- tered before the spores are sown, they should not need any more watering until after the spores have germinated, but in case they should get dry from being too freely ventilated, the best way to water them is by soaking the lower part of the pot in a pail of water. Do not water overhead at any time before the seedlings are large enough to trans- plant. W. H. T. STOCKS FOR SEED. Will you please tell me if seed saved from single stocks produce double flow- ers, as the double flowers do not have seed? M. H. Double-flowered stocks produce no seed. In Germany, where the bulk of the stock seed is grown, the doubles and singles are allowed to flower together. After the former have been flowering some time, they are cut out and every at- tention given to the remaining single plants. . The plants when pulled up are hung in dry sheds and the seed carefully sorted. Experts can tell by the shape and size of the seed pods those which will produce a high percentage of doubles, and vice versa. All seeds are re- moved by hand. Pods containing noth- ing but poor seeds, viz., those that will produce single flowers, are discarded. C. W. i SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS ,<»^.W^.W^.W^.W^^<^.W^'^^ •fe»)'fe»)'fer»>'fe»>"-te^r»)'^Jc»>'^f»>''yr»^N^;-»>' ^iS Ventilation. We are reaching a "period in which the sun's rays are. becoming increasingly powerful, necessitating some shutting off of fire heat and increased watchfulness in watering and ventilating. Too many growers fail to realize how essential to th^ well-being of plants is a house where violent fluctuations in temperature are unknown. A house will be left shut up tigLt until it has become insufferably hot; then heat will be shut off and a lot of air rushed on; perhaps in an hour or two dark clouds will cover the horizon and this same house will, if not carefully tended, quickly have a barnlike atmos- phere. The grower comes along and finds it chilly and turns on heat, closing the ventilators, and departs. No one can grow good plants under these conditions. For the next two months some fire heat will be a necessity in the majority of houses, and it is a mistake to close it all off. Even on quite a warm day leave a little on, for it gives a geniality neces- sary to ward off mildew attacks. Ven- tilate a little at a time and reduce the ventilation in the same way. All plants require air in greater or less quantities and the grower, to achieve the greatest success, contrives to give it in such a way that the atmosphere always feels genial and balmy. There should never be a chilly feeling running down the spine on entering a house, or the ventilating is at fault. > Shading. It is rather early to commence shading, but it becomes necessary by the early part of March in the case of palms, adi- antums and some of the so-called stove plants. Lay it on thinly, just enough to break the direct force of the sun's rays. A mixture of naphtha or kerosene and white lead makes a satisfactory 12 The Wc^y Florists' Review; FnmDABT S6, 1M9. shading, which holds well and is easily removed. Nephrolepis should have no shade for some time. They always succeed better in much stronger light than the ma- jority of ferns. In the case of seedlings, recently potted cuttings and propagating benches, cheese-cloth is much to be pre- ferred to shading the glass for some time yet. If you grow a good many flower- ing plants and have a special house to stand them in, the roof, of course, is bet- ter shaded. This insures a cooler at- mosphere, which plants in flower require to hold them in good condition. In the case of houses or frames of violets, which it is desired to retard as much as possi- l)le, shading is to be recommended, but - '<^7^ nee Ple(St Anthony) Lady PingersTHtaoKSldt) eliotrope Cheeac with hone meal Biscuit.

If all other conditions were favorable, I doubt whether the fumigating alone would prevent the cuttings from rooting. Some years ago, before we substituted spraying for fumigating, we rooted car- nation cuttings just about as successfully as we do now. One thing I do believe, however, and that is that when a very dense smoke is produced it is apt to be warm when it strikes the cuttings, if they are on a side bench. This will wilt the cuttings enough to prevent proper root- ing, and your trouble may result in this way. Why not discard the smoking method altogether, and employ the more up-to-» date method of spraying or vaporizing, or even fumigating with tobacco dust? You will wonder, after you have given it a trial, why you did not change long ago. A. F. J. B. A DENVER DINNER. In the pressure of business at Christ- mas, at Easter and upon other special occasions, the problem of meals for the workers is one which has vexed many a retailer. As a result, in quite a number of leading stores arrangements have been made for feeding the entire force on the place during the days of heavy business. Just in rear of the store and conserva- tory of the Park Floral Co., Denver, stands a cottage which was acquired with the real estate, and which has been turned into an office building, but in which kitchen and dining-room have been left equipped for their original purposes. During the Easter rush the entire force will be fed by the company for several days (and nights), the employees receiv- ing a much better meal than they could get outside, and getting it in half the time. At other times the employees are at liberty to use the facilities for any little social suppers gotten up among themselves, and Mr. Valentine encour- ages these affairs as tending to smooth out any little wrinkles in the organiza- tion and to foster united effort for the general good of the business. Just before the Christmas holidays two of the junior members of the concern offered the president to wager a dinner for the force, to be paid in the cottage dining-room, that the volume of Christ- mas sales would exceed a certain figure — they lost, by only a couple of dollars, and Mr. Valentine offered to foot the bill providing the young men would prepare and serve the dinner themselves. Being game, they took him up and started elab- orate preparations for the feast, which took place January 14. The accompany- ing menu card was prepared merely to commemorate the event and not with any intention of showing what the boys gave their guests to eat and drink. OBITUARY. Charles Bramley, Sr. With plans complete for the celebra- tion of the fiftieth anniversary of his wedding, Charles Bramley, Sr., one of the oldest business men of Cleveland, O., died at his home in that city on Wednes- day, February 17. His wife, who had been at his side through the fifty years of active business life in Cleveland, sur- vives, with nine children. Three children are dead. The golden wedding was to have been celebrated Monday, February 22. All Charles Bramley, Sr. preparations had been made. Invita- tions had been sent to many relatives and friends, about 500 in all, and Mr. Bram- ley had taken a great interest in all the preparations. The supper was to have been original and unique in this respect, that it was to be served in a greenhouse. Tables were to be arranged in the center and on the sides of the greenhouse, which is about 140 feet long. Domes for elec- tric lights had been prepared, to be hung every six feet. The domes were to be trimmed in yellow. The entire green- house range of Bramley & Son was wired and equipped for electric light- ing, all in preparation for the wedding anniversary. Mr. Bramley was an early settler in Cleveland, having lived at 1181 East Seventy-first street since 1855. He was a gardener until 1894, when he and his son, William A., started in the florists' business, under the name of Charles Bramley & Son. They began with two 50-foot houses and gradually increased the amount of glass until at the time of Mr. Bramley 's retirement they had one of the largest retail florists' estab- lishments in the city of Cleveland. His honest, upright and progressive w£^y of conducting business brought him many friends, and his acquaintances and brother florists all speak highly of him. In May, 1908, he had a stroke of apoplexy and had not been in as good health since, although he was not con- fined to bed until two days before he died. He retired from the firm of Charles Bramley & Son in August, 1908, his interest having been purchased by the son, William, who has conducted the business since then, under the name of Bramley & Son. The funeral services were held at his residence, on Saturday, February 20, and his remains were placed in a vault at Lakeview cemetery. Many letters and other expressions of condolence were re- ceived by the wife and children. The flowers were numerous and beautiful, and were highly appreciated by the mem- bers of the family, who wish to thank all for their tokens of sympathy. They wish especially to thank the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., the Cleveland Florists' Club, the J. M. Gasser Co., the Cleveland Flo- rists' Exchange, J. W. Wilson and J. Kirchner. Patrick J. Melia. Patrick J. Melia, of Newton High- lands, Mass., died February 13 of ty- phoid pneumonia, after two weeks' ill- ness. He came to this country thirty years ago from Ireland, and was with A. H. Fewkes for a good many years. At the time of his death he was em- ployed by Mrs. Ellen A. Mansfield. He was 53 years old. A widow and eight children survive. Harvey L. Spencer. Harvey L. Spencer, of Phcenix, R. I., died at his home February 24, after a brief illness. He was born in Bristol, R. I., in 1828, but had lived in the vicin- ity of Phoenix since he was about 9 years old. William Findlay. William Findlay, one of the old-time gardeners, florists and fruit growers of Newport, died February 12, after a long illness. He was born in Largo, Fife- shire, Scotland, in 1831. He came to this country in 1854 and set- tled at Newport, where he spent the remainder of his days. After a few years Mr. Findlay leased the greenhouses at the estate of the late Gov. Lawrence and engaged in fruit growing, and in 1873 he built a range of houses. About this time the growing of roses tinder glass was just ^ing considered and Mr. Findlay devoted considerable time and study to this subject. It is said that he was the first to grow the Jacq. rose this way, using boxes about fifteen inches square, one foot deep and one plant to a box. No relatives in this country i^re known to have survived him. H The WccHy Florists^ Review^ Februakx 25, 1009. THE FLORISTS' REVffiW G. L. GRANT, Editor and Manaqer.

The Review brings results. Eeports as to last week's business in the principal cities are almost uniformly excellent. Lent, which began Wednesday, is no longer the important deterrent factor it once was in the flower business. The pure food law has occasioned the changing the name of Whale Oil soap to Fish Oil soap.

In tlie Review of January 21 I no- ticed an article on the use of cinders in making a concrete wall. I have ex- perimented a good deal with concrete made from cinders and cement, and find that it does not give good satisfaction, and in the long run is more expensive than when made of gravel and cement, as the gravel concrete can be made up into a wall much lighter than the cinder con- crete and still be equaUy strong. The economical florist, in constructing a concrete wall, should try to save his cement without sacrificing strength, as the cement is the most expensive part of his wall. I have found that a very economical wall can be constructed of concrete and old bricks. My method is to mix the gravel and cement in proportions of six to one. Then one side of the frame is built complete. The other side is brought up one board at a time. A layer of con- crete is thrown into the frame and then a layer of bricks is placed on the con- crete. The bricks are followed by an- other layer of concrete, which is firmly tamped on to the bricks, and so on until the wall is complete. The layers of brick have about one inch of concrete between them, and the bricks are placed about one inch apart in the layer. The concrete is mixed soft, so that it readily fills all cracks between the bricks. Care must be taken to keep the edges of the bricks from touching the sides of the frame, so that the concrete will fill in on both sides. Thus, when the frame is taken away, the wall has all the appearance of a solid concrete wall, and I believe is just about as strong. I have a boiler pit, 16x75x12 feet deep, the walls of which are constructed in the described manner and are only six inches thick. The walls are only about fifty per cent concrete. The bricks used were old bats and culls, which can be procured by any florist for just hauling them away. V. Kangley. FROM AN ENGLISH GROWER. The early mums here get more popular each year, as do all sections of the chrys- anthemums, in spite of a class of our writers to the gardening press telling the country they are on the decline. It will no doubt interest readers of the Review to know ' thtit we have arranged with C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., to give him sole control in America of the Wells-Pockett novelties in future. This will bring the American growers as up- to-date with the new Australian varieties as we are here, and will insure only those that do well in the United States being sent out to commerce. We have had good results each time we have advertised in the Review, and even now we are getting replies from the one in the issue of November 14 last. Merstham, England. W. Wells. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There were no special events last week to stimulate demand, but it nevertheless was one of the best weeks this market has seen in a long time. Almost all lines of stock were in fair supply, but the demand was sufficient to clean out nearly everything at satisfactory prices. Beau- ties were scarce, but the rose supply in- creased considerably. Carnations . were abundant and brought excellent figures, considering the large supply. Violets did first rate, but bulbous stock in nearly all lines was sold at low prices. The current week opened with a holi- day and one which did little for the trade, but business continues good. Prices are just a little bit weaker than they have been, for supplies have been some- what increased as a result of two bright, springlike days at the beginning of the week. Beauties, however, continue scarce and this is possibly the one item on which the market cannot fill all orders. Not only are the Beauties scarce, but the quality is nothing to brag about. There is fine, long stock of Richmond and Kil- larney that is bringing first-class prices, possibly some of the extra value being given by the scarcity of Beauties. For several weeks short roses have been par- ticularly good property. Bride especially so. The increased production of short stock has made it a little less brisk sale Fbbbuaxt 26, 1909.

The growers generally predict that bright weather will shortly bring in an enormous crop of roses, but the good weather is lasting only for a day or two at a time and the rose grow- ers are enjoying every day that condi- tions hold in their favor. Carnations are in heavy supply and have done extremely well for some little time. There is considerable difference in quality, but the good stock is so abundant that it is possible to do a large shipping business and a thoroughly satisfactory one. Single violets are blooming freely un- der the influence of a few days of good weather, and eastern stock also is com- ing in heavier. Last week violets moved freely, if at slightly lower average prices, but this week there are indications that 'the supply will soon be such that values will be materially affected. Both the Rhinebeck stock and the locally grown singles are of excellent quality, so that the better grade of stores are using them in large quantities. There are increased receipts of bulbous stock. Tulips are more plentiful than at any time this season and prices are rul- ing low. Daffodils also are coming in heavily and are slower sale than jonquils, which are not so abundant. The quantity of bulb stock forced for this market this year is less than in previous seasons, but the price does not appear to be in any way improved by the lessened supply. The growers are said to be dismissing the bulb salesmen more curtly, even, than last year, as a result of the present con- dition of the market for bulbous flowers. Even callas are down ; the buyer who can use a quantity gets them for 10 cents, or less if the stock is not in every way first-class. There is no special feature in the green goods market. The wholesalers are be- ginning to wonder where they are com- ing out on ferns. Large quantities are in storage and in many lots the waste has become considerable, but the price does not advance.

The injured man was taken at once to the Oak Park hospital, where his condition was reported excellent Febru- ary 24, although the bullet had not been removed. Mr. Oechslin is a brother of Frank Oechslin. On coming to Chicago both brothers were employed by J. F. Kid- well & Bro. Later they were in busi- ness together as the Garfield Park Flower Co. After dissolving partnership, Ernest built at River Forest, where he quickly established a prosperous cemetery and wholesale trade, and Frank built on West Adams street. Trade-marking the Violets. The Glencoe violets are now trade- marked and the best flower buyers among the public have beeu notified by mail to look for the trade-mark as insuring them fresh picked double violets. The Glencoe violets are grown by Mrs. Otis M. Howard and Miss Nina Howard and are handled by E. H. Hunt. The growers decline to sell direct to the trade, believing the commission man fully earns his fee. Marie Louise is grown and the flowers reach the trade within fifteen hours from picking. The trade- mark is printed indelibly on ribbon and attached to each bunch. W. E. Lynch, of Hunt's, says the Glencoe violets al- ways sell at a better price than the Rhinebeck stock, but he can't see that For Bridal Booqnets and other special occasions White Orchids, Gardenias, Orange Blossoms ROSE HILL NURSERIES NEW ROCHELLE, N. T. there is any wider margin since the local stock was trade-marked, though it may come. The retailers who use Glencoe violets regularly are given neat cards for win- dow display and it is said they leave the trade-mark ribbons in the bunches when making up corsage bouquets, etc. Of course none of the retailers handles Glencoe violets exclusively, so it is just a little bit early to say how much benefit the Glencoe growers will get from their efforts to educate the pubUc to the supe- rior freshness and fragrance of their output; the result appears to lie in the hands of the retailers.

As briefly reported in last week's Re- view, the club meeting held February 16 was a successful one, 211 being pres- ent, although it was one of the moat disagreeable nights of the winter. From Providence a good delegation came, Messrs. McNair and Chappell, president and secretary, speaking interestingly dur- ing the evening. From the North Shore Horticultural Society came a dozen mem- bers, for whom Messrs. McGregor and Alex. Shaw acted as spokesmen. The addition of six new members showed that the club's growth is to continue. Not for over four years has there been a meeting without applications for mem- bership. Among the exhibits, the Winsor carna- tions from C. S. Strout, which gained a report of merit for culture, were the best ever seen in Boston, the stems be- ing of remarkable length. Charles Simp- kins, of Peabody, had a collection of stocks showing splendid culture, as did the grand vase of Lupinus mutabilis from William Swan, who also showed splen- did annual larkspur, worthy of more at- tention from florists. Daniel Whyte's Primula Kewensis showed what a splen- did thing this is when well grown. F. W. Fletcher, as usual, showed Baronne Rothschild violet. Carnation Kanarien- bird, from Henry Schrade, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., has the earmarks of a good yellow. It keeps splendidly and as the introducer says it is a free bloomer, it ought to be heard from. R. & J. Farquhar's cyclamens, which received a cultural report of merit, were excellent. They also had fine Primula obconica and Acacia heterophylla. Car- nations Splendor and Victory, from O. M. Whittemore, were both good, while En- chantress, as grown by Alfred Parsons, was remarkably good. Andree, a crim- son seedling of H. A. Stevens Co., looked promising, as did a vase of mixed seed- lings from Peter Fisher and a collec- tion of six varieties from E. B. Beals, of Springfield. White Killarney, from Waban Rose Conservatories, re- ceived an award of a report of highest merit, the first time the club has ever given such an award. Answering queries, Mr. Montgomery said the White Killar- new possessed much greater vigor than Killarney, had a larger flower and one containing many more petals. An occa- sional plant would carry flowers half pink and half white. The severe weather and blockaded railroads prevented some exhibits from a distance arriving on time. The annual banquet was set for March .31, one day earlier than in 1908, and wdll undoubtedly draw a big' crowd. M. A. Patten's talk on carnations, while short, was practical and drew out a good dis- cussion, among those taking part being Peter Fisher, James Wheeler, Eber Holmes, Wilfrid Wheeler, W. H. Elliott, G. M. Anderson, W. N. Craig, James Far- quhar, H. A. Stevens and K.- Pinlayson. Mr. Patten said he never fumigates in his houses, preferring a fine nicotine spray from a barrel pump. Fumigating, he believes, hurts the stems. Spraying is done once in two weeks. Nicoticide, with some Ivory soap, is used and found ef- fective. He was asked what would give good stems and his answer was, lime, keeping on the dry side and rather cool. 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review* FlCBRDARY 25, 1909. 50 WabasK Ave Uading wi CKicago, PERs or American Beauty Perdoz.

Feed- ing should be delayed until the days lengthen. Peter Fisher, answering a query as to how long it takes to find out the caliber of a seedling, answered, "At least three years." He has grown as many as 3,000 plants of seedUngs and then thrown all away. Sometimes seed- lings excellent the first year were found worthless later, and vice versa. The average life of a carnation in commerce is five to eight years; sometimes less but rarely more. Various Notes. February 27 and 28 will be notable days at Horticultural hall and there is every indication of a big exhibition and the largest attendance ever seen at a trade show in New England. It is hoped that clear weather may prevail this week and there will not be such a scarcity of flowers as during the previous week. Prof. F. A. Waugh lectured on ' * Amer- ican Landscnpe Architecture" at Horti- cultural hall, February 20. A good num- ber took part in the discussion, several speakers stating that a large proportion of the so-called landscape architects were poorly fitted to lay out an estate, their horticultural knowledge being slim. William Purdom, of Kew, England, was one of the visitors at the club meet- ing February 16. Mr. Purdom goes to northern China and Thibet to collect plants and seeds for the Arnold Arbo- retum in place of E. H. Wilson, just re- turning from a two years' trip. Mr. Purdom left for Shanghai via Vancouver, February 18. E. v. Hallock, of Queens, N. Y., will be the attraction at the club meeting March 16. His lecture will be on "Bulb- ous and Tuberous-rooted Plants. ' ' He is sure to have a big audience. William Dunton is now running the store on City Hall avenue, formerly man- aged by the late M. B. Bunker. A magnificent spring show is already assured in Horticultural hall. The en- tire space for the main hall is already taken. The show will this year last five days, March 25 to 30. Patrick Welch is in New York this week in the interest of the S. A. F., he being a member of the tariff com- mittee. Letters from Edward Hatch, the pop- ular secretary of the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club, at Miami, Fla., indicate that he is improving in health and has taken to tarpon fishing for a pastime. W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley, has an exceptionally fine lot of liUes and azaleas coming along for Easter. Daniel Iliffe, now of South Weymouth, \fill have a good exhibit at the trade show February 27, He is having many calls for building, piping, etc., at both trade and private places, particularly the latter. W. N. Cbaiq. Annie O'Brien foreclosed the mort- gage that she held on the stock of John J. O'Brien, on Boylston street, Boston, and sold it to Margaret O'Brien for $300. FEBRUAsy 25, 1009.

Funeral work forms the bulk of the trade, though there have been a few society affairs to give the retailers something to do. Boses are scarce, while carnations are in fair supply. We have had a spell of near-summer weather, with a hard thunder storm. The hail cracked some glass here, but to no great extent. Vuiottt Notes. The Blackman Floral Co. had a good trade on Lincoln day and St. Valentine's day. For Lincoln day they had a large picture of Lincoln in the window, which attracted much attention. Ben Kramer reports sending out lots of violets on St. Valentine's day. A feature of his window decoration was a large red heart made of immortelles, with a background of boxwood and placed on an easel. A picture of George Washing- ton in the center of a large wreath of bronze galax decorated with small flags attracted attention February 22. Elspermann reports a fine trade St. Valentine's day. He had a heavy call for carnations. Julius Niednagel has been having good business. E. L. F. TOLEDO, OHIO. We had some weather here last week. Ice, sleet, snow, wind — lots of each. Propping up purlins and sashbars was the order of business for a number of days. At the Scottswood Greenhouse the boys carried the snow and ice out of the gutters.

The Riling Eaitern MarkeU The pre-Lenten season has closed with a rush. Social activity seemed to increase as Ash Wednesday drew near, until the festive season ended on Tuesday with as lively a demand for the six days previous as this market has ever experienced. The number of orders shipped out of town was large, while the local uusiness was up to high water mark. Summarizing market conditions, it may be said that the rose crops, barring Beau- ties, are coming on, the shorter grades showing greater activity than fancy stock. Carnations continue rather scarce, the demand exceeding the supply, white being more active than pink, a condition foreign to this market until within the last fortnight. Cattleyas are scarce, but gardenias are fairly plentiful and of ex- cellent quality. Violets, thanks to the warm, springlike weather, have come on with a rush, the houses being reported as * ' blue. ' ' Enormous quantities of violets have been marketed, but so large was the production that prices necessarily fell, the street taking up much of the surplus at low figures. The advent of southern daffodils marks the decline in price for the local stock. The southerns are as yet inter- esting only to the fakers, but all the greenhouse-grown bulbous flowers are ar- riving in increased quantities and, de- spite an excellent demand, prices are re- ceding all along the line. Mignonette has been in active demand, much choice stock being sold at listed prices. Callas have also sold well, with Easter lilies follow- ing closely. The green market has improved, plu- mosus and adiantum being in active de- mand, while smilax improves slightly. There is no demand for Sprengeri. Val- ley has been going fairly at moderate prices. Sweet peas are active when of quality. Hatboro. Eugene Weiss is one of the best known florists in Philadelphia. His Germantown place, his store on North Eighth street and his greenhouses at Hatboro are well known to all our florists. Mr. Weiss himself has a host of friends who will be glad to hear that he is up and doing once more, after his midwinter illness. He now gives his personal attention to his greenhouses at Hatboro, adding not a little to th^ pleasure of his visitors by his cheery talk as he conducts them about his place. The houses are of the older style of construction and are devoted to roses and carnations. The roses grown are Bride, Bridesmaid and Killarney. The carnations include Winsor, Lieut. Peary, Aristocrat and some of the older standard varieties. So vigorous and full of bloom were the carnations in these old- style houses, some of them sash-built, that one could not help wondering whether with the aid of houses of modern con- struction Eugene Weiss would not be in a class by himself as a carnation grower. Southampton. Stephen Mortensen first came to this city in the early 90 's, heralded as an orchid expert from St. Louis. He proved to be an all-round grower of the first rank, roses finally supplanting, orchids in his affections. As a rose grower today he is considered among the best who favor the Philadelphia market with their flowers. Mr. Mortensen 's progress at Southampton, where he is considered among its most progressive business men, has been chronicled in this column from time to time. The object of the present note is to describe the latest addition to his plant, made last season. It is a beautifully constructed house. Lord & Bumham make, 43x265, with concrete sides. It is planted with somewhere pear 6,000 Bridesmaids, whose stocky growth and well colored blooms bear evidence of their enjoyment of the fa- vorable conditions.

A striking illustration of the success of the carnation grown indoors all sum- mer can be seen at the extensive plant of the Newburgh Floral Co., which makes the divine flower a leading specialty.

Supplies of roses are fast increasing. Values are off twenty per cent, comparing this week with last, and they are going slowly. Beauties are down to 50 cents for the best; in large quantities 40 cents is ac- cepted. There are plenty of them now. Richmond is down from its pedestal, and even Killarney is no longer dear; 8 cents will buy the finest Maid and Bride. Some were selling good stock at 6 cents Mon- day morning. Carnations are grand in quality, but gross in quantity. It is hard for the market to absorb them all without seri- ous concessions. Grand stock was sell- ing as low as 2 cents on Monday. Even the few novelties arriving have receded to within the reach of all. Lilies are lower, especially callas, and tulips are abundant and cheap. Garde- nias and orchids hold their own. Big shipments to Washington, March 3, will take everything in sight. For violets, 50 cents is the extreme top. The market is flooded, too, with sweet peas and quotations have fallen. Some days it has looked very springlike at the street corners. Southern narcissi will be here this week in quantity. George Saltford already receives large shipments daily from the sunny southland. The general retail trade is in a healthy state and the majority seem to be busy most of the time, but this village is get- ting so healthful, and the climate so mild, that the funeral work departments are not rushed. Washington's birthday, with its dinner celebrations, seemed to have all the retailers busy. Several balls this week will have extensive decorations. Various Notes. Everything indicates a great success for the Florists' Club's banquet at Shan- ley's Saturday evening, February 27. The president's reception begins at 6 p. m. The next regular meeting of the Flo- rists' Club is March 8, and this will be rose night. There will be a great exhibi- The Moore-LiriBKitOB Adjnstsble Plaat Staad (Patented) Manufaotured by The Best Plant Stand On the market today.

Several rose growers from this section have already booked themselves for the Buffalo rose convention, March 17. On the same evening occurs the banquet of the National Gardeners' Association and their exhibition, which will draw record crowds this year and continue for two days. Many handsome prizes have been donated for this event. Some of the prizes are: Gold medal from Lord & Burnliani Co., silver cups from Pierson U-Bar Co., Bobbink & Atkins, Ellwanger & Barry, Peter Henderson & Co., Eick- ards Bros., Burnett Bros., J. P. Lorenson, Charles Elliott, John Shore, J. J. Don- nelly, Julius Roehrs Co. and W. E. May- nard. The bowling department of the New York Florists' Club meets Monday even- ings. Secretary Scott called his men to- gether for a royal start on Washington's birthday. President Donaldson says the club will have a team at Cincinnati that will carry home all the prizes, and John usually means just what he says. Leo Niessen, of Philadelphia, was in the city Saturday, February 27. Mayor Breitmeyer, of Detroit, was in the city last week, but will be unable to attend the banquet of the Florists' Club as expected. Joseph A. Manda, of West Orange, is adding several orchid houses to his plant this spring. L. G. Wertheimer, of Wertheimer Bros., leaves the city this week for Palm Beach, Fla., and other resorts for a two weeks ' vacation. The Newman Floral Co. is much pleased with its success in the new store at the corner of Fifth avenue and Broad- way. Since the departure of Fleisch- man from this part of the city, Mr. New- man has a monopoly of this fine sec- tion of the metropolis. Mrs. Newusan Febkuaby 25, 1909.

BUFFALO. Cttfrent Cotameat, Washington's birthday brought a lot of parties which called for decorations. Red was used principally, by nearly all the florists, for tables. The window decorations of this city have shown good taste. For this occa- sion, one window presented a pretty ef- fect with a miniature cherry tree. The background of azaleas and other flower- ing plants set the whole off to advantage. All the windows had pictures of Wash- ington draped with the national flag. We do not feel that this day is a big addition to the business, but in compar- ing the business of other holidays now with those ten years ago, at that time there were no big days aside from Eas- ter, Christmas and very few others. Now, for instance, take Valentine's day; it's a big day now by actual figures.

Will you tell me what ails my callas? I have 800 in 8-inch pots plunged to the rim in cinders on the bench. Over 200 have decayed at the base of the plant or top of bulb. I am careful in watering and keep them in a temperature of 60 degrees at night and 70 to 80 degrees at day. Am losing more every year. Four years ago we only lost fourteen. They were good, strong plants up to New Year's. The pots are one and one-half inches apart. C. U, Your callas will do far better if not plunged in the ashes. Stand them on a bed of these, rather than plunge them in the ashes. This will allow of the pots drying out more and will be better for the plants in every way. Callas need an abundant water supply and, provided drainage is ample, you can hardly over- water them. Your pots are, however, far too close together. Spread them out more to allow light and air getting among them. When you grow them so closely packed, it is impossible to get satisfac- tory results. Throw away all affected plants and give the balance more elbow room. Your temperature of 60 degrees at night is all right. Do not use any shade on the glass. C. W. HOUSE CLEANING TIME. There is no better time to clean up the establishment than now, when work in general is not rushing and there is plenty of time to do all the odd jobs that have been put off until a better time. It is an excellent idea to wash the glass on the inside of the walls of the houses with warm water and a good window brush and pole. It will make the houses look like new and the plf nts will grow much better. The drip troughs should be thoroughly cleaned out and all scum and dirt should be cleaned off the lower end of the bars and gutter sides. All weeds should be pulled up from under the benches and all refuse under there should be raked up as clean as one would rake a lawn. It will be surprising what a collection of weeds, dead plants, broken pots, sticks, wire, etc., will be found, to be hauled to the garbage dump. And nothing that a grower can do to prevent insects and dis- ease will be more effective than cleanli- ness. Weeds under the benches harbor insects. Rubbish of all kinds harbors diseases. A neglected, unclean house is a stronghold for both these annoyances, and fighting them in such an ambush is hopeless. After getting the houses cleaned up, the pots should be washed and dried, and the seed flats got together and repaired. There is no end of work around that ought to be done before the rush comes on, for then there will be no chance to do it. Select a bright, nice day to look over the roof for Droken glass and for panes that have slid down, allowing rain to run in, allowing fumigating fumes to es- cape, and encouraging mildew and dis- eases. Now is the time to act. H. G. DEPTH TO PLANT BULBS. Do bulbs force better with the nose out of the ground or below the top of the soil? Should not tulips, hyacinths and such bulbs be covered entirely to force best or give best blooms? When grown in the ground by growers for blooms, do they not cover narcissus, hya- cinth and tulip bulbs entirely? Do not bulbs with nose covered give the best length of stem? W. F. II. Bulbs used for forcing are covered much more lightly than when grown out- doors. In the open ground they are covered from four to six inches deep, according to the size of the bulbs, an average depth being four inches. Hya- cinths grown in pots or flats are best just barely covered. Some growers pre- fer to leave the nose just peeping above ground. Tulips and narcissi are better entirely covered. We do not think, in the case of forcing bulbs, that it will make any material difference to the length of stems whether the noses of the hyacinths show or they are covered an inch deep. All these bulbs are, or should be, covered with cinders or some other material after potting or boxing, and if in a dark cellar, all the better. They should not be taken out until they have sprouts two or three inches long. If taken out too soon they will, of course, come short-stemmed. C. W. GOT WHAT HE WANTED.

The Market Trade is a trifle better, there being a fair demand for all spring flowers, or those that are classed as such by the public. Sweet peas are especially fine and plentiful and are great favorites with the public. There are more of these this sea- son than usual. The daffodils have ar- rived; they are in good shape and are bought up on sight. Carnations were in heavy demand last week, but were plentiful on the streets on Saturday, February 20. The fancy varieties are in steady demand. Roses continue to be scarce and are bought up on sight. A good many of the re- tailers advise their customers who de- sire roses to take something else, as they cannot with any certainty rely on being able to supply them. Such conditions have never before existed in this mar- ket at this time of the year. Violets are to be found in large quan-' titles and always find a buyer if abso- lutely freali. Bulbous stock, while per- haps not so heavy in point of arrivals as last season, is still heavy enough to keep prices on a low basis. Azaleas are com- ing in large quantities and seem to take well, especially in the light colors. Variottt Notes. The greenhouse establishment of Rich- ard Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., of White Marsh, was damaged considerably by a violent whirlwind which accompanied the rain storm of Tuesday afternoon, February 16. The oflBce building, which is a large affair, about 50x200 and three stories high, was twisted nearly a foot from its foundations. The glass partition which separates it from the packing room was blown down. Hun- dreds of panes of glass were broken in the greenhouses, tree tops were twisted off and general havoc created. The whirl- wind was traveling in a northeasterly di- rection and seemed to spend its fury on the Vincent farm. The tri-city bowling match, between the florists of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, has been arranged.

Mail orders continue to make a splen- did record as compared to March of last year. The weather conditions are largely responsible for it. The Eckfords, widely known for their work with sweet peas, are extending their operations as seed growers for the Eng- lish trade, paying especial attention to culinary peas. Onion sets are going out briskly; there seems really no lunit to the de- mand, especially in southern market gar- dening localities. Naturally prices are well held, for all holders feel that every bushel is sure to be called for before the end of the season. W. W.

Northrup, King it Co., Minneapolis, Minn. one of the most important of the potato- growing districts in Lincolnshire. From this center about 1,000 tons are dis- patched weekly to America. The price paid to the farmers is about £1 15s. per ton, and in addition to the cost of trans- portation the potatoes have to bear a duty of £1 17s. 6d. per ton. BEGIN THE PARCELS POST. The establishment of an experimental rural parcels post system in two counties, to be selected by the postmaster general, is authorized by a provision in the post- office appropriation bill now before the senate. The bill already has been passed by the house. The fixing of rates is to be prescribed by the postmaster general, who will report the result of the experi- ment to congress by January 1 next. It was in this manner that the rural free delivery of the higher classes of mail was established — experimentally on one or two routes — and those who favor the parcels post believe it will grow from the small beginning now planned until it covers the whole country and is as in- dispensable as is the rural free delivery.

With a short supply and stiffer prices, there is a stronger demand for cut flow- ers in this market than is usual at this season. One reason for this is to be found in the largely increased number of whist, bridge and other social parties, at which it has become customary to have vases of cut flowers, as well as decora- tions and favors of choice blooms, mostly roses and carnations, although in some of the more exclusive and wealthy sets orchids are much used. Bulbous stock continues to arrive in excellent condition and finds ready sale in pans. Funeral work is good and decorative calls are numerous. Florists' Club Meets. The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island met at its rooms, 98 West- minster street, on Monday evening, February 15. There was an unusually large attendance, with President Charles Macnair in the chair. Harry Clarke, of this city, and B. F. Colwell, of Barring- ton, were elected to membership. An in- vitation from the Florists' and Gar- deners' Club of Boston, to be its guest the following night, was accepted, and at the appointed time a delegation consist- ing of President Charles S. Macnair, Secretary William E. Chappell, Treas- urer James Hockey, Alexander Macrae, John Macrae, David McCoid, Charles Hartstra, William Appleton, William B. Hazard and Michael Sweeney made the pilgrimage. James B. Canning, chairman of the "business boom" committee on flowers, addressed the meeting at considerable length and stated what was desired, and in response to his call the contributions were liberal and general.

Mr. Dunbar has gone out of busi- ness and is disposing of his houses and appointments. James B. Canning had the decorations for the annual ball and concert of the Providence Permanent Firemen's Belief Association, and also for the big Outlet ball. Guiseppe Silvaggio has been granted permission to erect a greenhouse at 685 Manton avenue. John Wood had twenty-five valentine corsage bouquets for a dinner party at the Narragansett Hotel Friday evening. These were of violets, with Richmond roses in the center of each bunch of 100 violets. There were a large number of hand- some pieces at the funeral of United States Congressman Daniel L. D. Granger, of this city, on Wednesday, February 17. One of the most conspicu- ous was an immense cross of roses, galax leaves and freesias from Johnston Bros. N. D. Pierce, of the Norwood Floral Co., had all of the family, school and neighborhood pieces for the funerals of the four children in that village who were drowned while skating a few days ago. , . Elmer E. King, of Attleboro, is bring- ing in some fine bulbous stock. On Sat- urday he cut 2,000 daffodils for the local market. He has been averaging half that number daily for several weeks. W. H. M. ST. LOUIS. The Market The demand for cut stock Jast week was really good and the wholesalers were cleaning up well, considering the amount of stock that came in each morning. While there is no glut at present, there is enough coming in to supply the wants of the retailers and also the shipping trade. The Lenten season, which set in this week, will, of course, put a stop to the large weddings, dinners and recep- tions for a while at least. Then, if this fine, warm weather keeps up, we may look for a glut in the wholesale market by the end of the week. More good roses could be sold, but of these the market has been somewhat shy of late. Carnations, too, cleaned up last week. Violets sold well and cheap, as the market had plenty. Bulbous stock, too, was equal to the demand and cheap. Smilax, galax and leucothoe sold well. Asparagus sprays are scarce, but there are plenty of fancy and common ferns. Various Notes.

Mr. Schaefer reports an excellent trade since the opening. Himmer Bros., out at Meramec High- lands, are cutting daily a big supply of California violets and fancy sweet peas. They contemplate new additions to their plant this summer. Will Smith, C. A.. Kuehn, George An- germueller and Henry Berning, local wholesalers who attended the meeting of the Illinois State Florists' Associa- tion at Springfield, report a splendid time. A. Y. Ellison and Henry Kahrs were the only retailers to attend the meeting from here. Fred C. Weber's Valentine's day at- traction in his large show window made a handsome show and attracted a great deal of interest in Ms neighborhood. Conrad Bergstermann has an attractive display of blooming plants in his large show house facing Grand avenue. The new show house of the Ellison Floral Co. is now completed and adds greatly to the already attractive place at Olive street and Taylor avenue. The third annual spring flower show, which will be given by the St. Louis Horticultural Society, according to some of the members of the executive com- mittee, promises to surpass the last two. The committee will meet next week and complete arrangements. The present quarters of the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co, are becom- ing too small for them. With Lent setting in Wednesday, a number of large weddings took place Monday and Tuesday, which kept some of our uptown florists busy. Messrs. Henry Kahrs, Foster, Siegel, Schaeffer and the Eiessen Floral Co., our downtown florists, report they are dis- posing of thousands of violets each day and that business of late has been good in all lines, especially funeral work. President W. C. Young, of the St. Louis Florists' Club, says that he and the trustees have called the rose meet- ing off for next month, and that he has appointed John Connon, W. C. Smith and George Angermueller as a committee on bowling, and F. Vennemann, Wm. Winter and C. Fulgraf as a committee on shooting. They will meet Tuesday at Smith's and organize teams to compete at Cincinnati next August during the S. A. F. meeting. Among recent visitors were F. J. Far- ney, of the A. L. Bandall Co., and F. Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago. J. J. B. One insertion of the advertisement brought me all the orders I need. — Geo. S. Woodruff, Independence, la.

Do not open too much. Close them up early in the afternoon, so as to run the bed warm. When the plants are up large enough to sell, a sash is lifted off and the plants pulled off by holding the sand and the potato down with one hand and catch- ing hold of the sprouts, low down in the sand, with the other hand. They pull easily, and the old sweet potatoes will keep on producing more such sprouts or plants until late in July, Take the plants to the shed, count them out in bundles of fifty or 100 and roll them up in sphagnum moss and papers, like rooted cuttings. They do not keep well and should be planted out soon. It is best not to pull them until the customers want them. It is well to have the bed come on early enough, as they can easily be held back by giving more ventilation if they are ready a week or so too early. I have seen the first batch pulled and thrown away when entirely too early. Where sandy soil is to be had, sweet potatoes pay much better than Irish pota- toes, and the growing of the plants in such a locality is profitable at 50 cents per hundred. In sandy fields it is best not to plow the soil first, but simply to throw up ridges on the uncultivated soil. These ridges for the rows should be three feet apart, and the plants should be set eighteen inches apart in the row and watered immediately. If these ridges are thrown up about eight inches above grade and the trenches between are as far below grade, the ridges will seem sixteen inches high. If the ground is too loose under the ridges, the roots will go down too deep and be inclined to make long and slim, instead of short and fat sweet potatoes. H. G. MUSHROOMS EATEN BY INSECTS. We are sending you today some mush- rooms that are being eaten by some kind of insect. Will you kindly look them over and tell us some means of de- stroying the pests f We have our mush- room beds under the tomato beds, and as fast as the small mushrooms appear they are attacked by these insects. W. B. C. From the sample sent, which was pretty well dried up, I should judge that the damage was done by snails or wood lice, or it might be the work of some beetle, but the cavities are too large to be the work of a small insect, like the mushroom maggot. The damage is prob- ably done at night, and I would suggest that you visit the beds at night with a THE cost of labor saved ■ in six months will buy and install a Skinner Sys- tem of Greenhouse Irri- gation.

From the sample sent it is impossible to tell what insect may be doing the damage, as there are so many that are fond of making a meal from a nice, ten- der mushroom, and under the greenhouse benches is an ideal home for them. Unless they are extremely numerous, they can be kept from doing serious dam- age by setting traps for them. The best thing we know of for this purpose is to cut a potato in halves, hollow out a little on the cut side and set these with the hollow side down in such a way as to allow the insects to get under it. These traps should be scattered pretty liberally where the insects are doing the most damage. They will soon discover them and lodge under them, and by going over the traps every tnorning and destroying the insects found, you ought soon to be able to reduce their numbers, Wm. Scott. CLEVELAND. Roses are scarce in the Cleveland mar- ket, as all good stock moves rapidly without blowing any horn. Bride, Maid and Richmond are coming in of excep- tional quality just now, but the cut is small, and as for Killarney — it is or- dered up days in advance. This is be- cause, perhaps, Killarney never was in better color than this season, and when Killarney has that ideal color that it has when well grown, we do not want a better rose. G.

SANFSANOSCO. The Market With the commencement of the third week in February we have been treated to a slight change in the weather. After six weeks of continuous rain, we at last have a little sunshine and everyone's spirits have risen perceptibly in conse- quence. The retail florists have felt the quietness in trade as much as the dealers in other lines, and now that some good weather seems assured, we have hopes that it Will stay a long time with us. Flowers, with the exception of narcissi, daffodils and violets, have for the last ten days been reaUy scarce, much more so than is customary at this time, and there has been a fair demand, especially for light colors and such stock as is suit- able for funeral trade. Good roses have been hard to locate at any price, and fancy carnations have been quickly bought up. If the sundhine of the last two days continues, however, we will have an avalanche of stock of all kinds within a week. Violets, narcissi and daffodils have been a glut in the market. ■ Fruit blossoms have made their ap- pearance in huge bunches and are prov- ing popular with flower buyers. Wild flowers will soon make a showing. Various Notes. ■ George Hansen, formerly of Portland, Ore., is in town with the intention of starting in the retail trade, should a good opening offer. Pelicano & Co. report a heavy funeral trade for the current month at their Kearney street store. The Golden West Nursery Co., of Los Gatos, Gal., has filed a petition in bank- ruptcy. Domoto Bros., of Elmhurst, received 10,000 Japanese camellias on a recent steamer from the orient. J. T. Eichardson has departed for southern California, on a pleasure trip. He will be absent from town about six weeks. G. LOS ANGELES, CAL. Trade is excellent here, considering the heavy rains we are having. In fact, it has done nothing but rain since the first of the year, which has put the usual damper on good stock. In spite of it all, the city is full of tourists, and just as soon as the sun comes out the sidewalks are crowded with people. We are having plenty of funeral work, all hands being busy. Wolfskin's last week displayed a hand- some window of . azaleas. Wright's flower store puts up a good showing and, in fact, all of the stores report business booming. Jack D'Ortignac, formerly of the An- gelus Florist, has purchased an interest in the Redondo Floral Co., the firm now consisting of Chas. E. Morton and Jack D'Ortignac, but it will be run under the old name. Jacob Dieterich, the nurseryman, and W. H. Turner have gone in together and purchased a tract of land near the city and are now busily engaged in superin- tending the building of five modem houses, which they intend planting to Rhea Reid, Mrs. Potter Palmer, Mrs. CARNATION PUNT BUYERS, ATTENTION !

The Los Angeles Florists' Club re cently had a ladies' night and a good crowd responded in spite of the rain. Mr. Hinsel had his orchestra of eighteen pieces there and they gave the members a great deal of enjoyment. President O. C. Saakes made the opening speech, introducing the new president, Jacob Die- terich, who was duly installed, making a speech in response. The rest of the offi- cers for the ensuing term also took up their duties. These officers are: Vice- president, Dr. A. D. Houghton ; secretary. Jack Reeves; treasurer, Wm. Wern. A bountiful collation was served by the committee, with the assistance of several ladies. The committee on decorations did its duty well, the hall being elaborately decorated with smilax, American Beau- ties and carnations. C. E. M. GUM CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA. Considerable inquiry is being indulged in by the public about what the latest developments are in the realms of euca- lyptus growing. Each succeeding year finds a few new species tried, and wider experimenting with the older varieties. Certain it is that the eucalyptus family is destined to become one of the most powerful factors in the hard-wood pro- duction of California. In Australia they have long been known and used, to the exclusion of almost every other tree where strength, finish and durability were required, and the tremendous interest taken in this state by forest culturists shows that we are alive to the possibili- ties at hand. Up to the present time the blue and red gums, E, globulus and E. rostrata, have been the most widely planted, with the intention, usually, of converting them into firewood or using them as wind breaks.

EXOTIC NURSERIES. Santa Barbara, Cal. wharf piling and harrl-wood timber has given an impetus to the search for suit- able varieties for euch purposes. The natural conditions of the soil and climate have had much to do with the wise selec- tion of sorts also, for it has been found that on wet lands E. robusta, E. rostrata and E. botryoides succeeded well, and these were closely followed by E. glob- ulus, viminalis, cornuta, citriodora. calo- phylla and tereticornis, all of which would stand considerable moisture but did not do their best when there was an excess for any length of time. Several of these kinds succeed well in quite the reverse condition, that of dry, hot situa- tions. Both E. rudis and E. rostrata make excellent growths, but E. polyan- themos and E. leucoxylon arc especially adapted for desert planting. Kegarding hardiness, the ordinary blue gum will not stand as much frost as E. rostrata, polyanthemos or tereticornis, and must be carefully watched when small. It is almost sate to say that the three latter are quite hardy. Most of the experiments have been carried on in southern California, where the climate is very mild. The gum tree, however, is not suitable for cold sections of country.

Peterson, proprietor of Peter- son Nursery, Chicago, reached home Peb- ruary 18, after a two months' trip to Florida and Cuba, accompanied by Mrs. Peterson. The house committee on agriculture has reported favorably the bill intro- duced January 29 by its chairman, Eep- resentative Scott, of Kansas, providing for the government inspection of im- ported nursery stock. The bill makes it unlawful for any transportation company to offer at any port of entry nursery stock, unless accompanied by a certificate of inspection by an oflScial expert of the country from which the importation is made. If not accompanied by such a cer- tificate declaring the importation free of disease or injurious insects, the stock will be held in quarantine until its freedom of dangerous insects, pests or plant dis- eases has been fully established. STATE INSPECTORS' DOINGS. The following condensed account of the meeting of the American Association of Horticultural Inspectors may be of special interest to nurserymen. As is probably well known, this association is made up of all the nursery inspectors in the United States. How can a national importation in- spection law be secured? Committee of three appointed by the chair to take charge of promoting such legislation dur ing the ensuing year. Is it desirable for this association to draft an inspection law for adoption by the several states! Laid on the table. Is it desirable to change the present method for certification of stock sold by nurseryman, which was not grown in his state t The following resolution was adopted: "That a committee of five members be appointed to formulate a system by means of which the individual members of the association may notify the other members of the association of such views concerning special nursery- men, as it may seem desirable for the in- spectors of other states to know." What rule should govern the conditions of a certificate to a nurseryman in whose nursery stock San Jose scale has been found? No definite action. What is the present opinion regarding the dipping of nursery stock in a contact insecticide, as compared with fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas?

In our trial grounds the past summer it bloomed as profusely ai> A. D. LiYoni. Its flowers are of large size, frequently measuring 6 inches across, and are borne on stout, stiff stems, nodding lightly, and while it resembles In form in a general way the popular Orand Duke Alex is. it is of a much more refined and perfect build, and never shows a trace of any color, always being of a pure, glistening white. It was shown at the annual exhibition of the New England Dahlia Society, where it re- ceived an Bonorary Award, the highest award given. The Florists' Exchange, reporting on this exhibition, says ; "Among notable exhibits perhaps the most striking was that of Henry A. Dreer, Inc.. Philadelphia, who exhibited a lot of their new Dahlia Dreer's White, and which were magnificent flowers of a pure white." We offer strong plaits, ready April 15, 60c each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. New Decorative Dahlia "Jack Rose" Unquestionably the most Important addition to the decorative class of Dahliaa for many years. In color, a brilliant crimson-red, rich and glow- ing and which has suggested its name. Jack Rose, on account of the close approach in color to the popular Gen. Jacqueminot Rose, or, as it is more commonly known, the Jack Rose. The habit of the plant is all that can be desired for garden decoration, it being of a uniform com- pact habit of growth, producing its flowers with the greatest freedom; these are borne on erect, stout stems and always come perfect, a green center or an open flower never having been seen, and under the most ordinary cultivation they will measure five inches or more in diameter. As a cut flower, its rich color, together with its long, stiff stems which hold the flower erect, will at once secure it a place; in fact, the compara- tively few flowers placed on the market the past season were quickly disposed of at highest prices.

' ' What conditions should govern the certification of strawberry plants from nurseries in which the strawberry root louse is known to be present? The fol- lowing resolution was adopted : ' ' That it is the sense of this association that where the strawberry root louse occurs in a nursery patch, if the attack be se- vere, the patch should be destroyed, but if only a slight infestation, the nursery- man should be required to burn oif the patch, and dip plants in tobacco water before shipping. ' ' Peach Yellows? Resolved, "That this association recommend that nurserymen, as far as possible, cut scions from bear- ing healthy trees and urge proper fumi- gation of all propagated nursery stock used in the nursery with hydrocyanic acid gas." Crown Gall? Resolved, "In view of the proven facts that this is a bacterial disease, communicated from one rasp- berry plant (and other plants) to an- other, that the practice on the part of nurserymen of storing raspberry plants visibly affected with crown gall with un- affected plants is extremely dangerous, and should be discontinued in the inter- est of fruit growing."

The establishment of the office of state entomologist under the direction of the state board of agriculture, is provided for in an act introduced in the state senate of Rhode Island February 16. This of- ficial will have large powers of investiga- tion, and will be authorized to inspect all nurseries, private or public, and private lands, to determine if any insect or plant pests are there. All agents for nursery stock will have to be licensed under the act, and nurseries of other states doing business in Rhode Island will be obliged to file certificates of inspection from the states where they are located. A provi- sion prevents the shipment of any nurs- ery stock unless it is accompanied by a copy of the certificate of inspection of the consignor. Penalties of from $10 to $100 are provided for infractions of the proposed act. WM. H. TAFT The beat Red SeedUns Carnation. OrlKlnated on our place. Rooted Cuttlnca No\ir Ready.

MY MARYLAND This new rose, which was introduced last season in a limited way, has proved to be one of the beat rosea "^1 ever introduced. Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the largest, most progressive aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long, pointed buds, exquisitely fragrant. The color is a soft salmon pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties for indoor cul- ture; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

Reuter, of Westerly, R, I., somewhat affected by the Bermuda fever, owing to the tempting offers made him, but, as he remarked, * ' There is far more satisfaction in viewing fields of healthy carnations than unhealthy lilies. ' ' At the time of my call he was busy with a European order for the new varieties of carnations and, judging by the most careful packing of a strong, well rooted lot of plants, there will be no kick com- ing from our fellow craftsman across the pond. The new propagating house is unique, the beds being a series built of cement, with bricks at the bottom — no chance for fungi. The size of the benches is 5x10 feet and each is heated sepa- 'xately, so that a different temperature can be given each if necessary. A path- way is allowed between them and around them. An immense range is being added here for roses, chiefly My Maryland, with which Mr. Reuter is enthused, and he will grow as many as room can be al- lowed for. It is a grand rose and des- tined to surpass all its predecessors in its class. Entire absence of mildew is one of its chief' qualities. Mr. Renter's carnations arp all in solid beds and, without exception, are in splen- did shape. The houses are of uniform height, six and one-half feet at the gutter and eighteen feet at the ridge. The pat- ent clamp is used on the gutter and is a big success. Two varieties particularly attracted my attention — Pink Pearl and Ruby — both most appropriately named, for they are perfect gems. Louis Reuter says it keeps him hustling in the office nowadays, corresponding in several lan- guages, owing to the rapidly increasing foreign demand for both roses and car- nations. f Kalamazoo, Mich. — Harry A. Neuner, who formerly had charge of the rose houses of the Erie Floral Co., at Erie, Pa., has been engaged by G. Van Bochove & Bro. as foreman of their rose depart- ment. KiTTEEY, Me. — The Kensington Flower Shop has been incorporated here, for the purpose of dealing in flowers, plants and nursery products. The capital stock is $10,000, and the officers are: President, Horace Mitchell, of Kittery; treasurer, S. J. Morrison, of Portsmouth, N. H. , Portland, Me. — The building contain- ing the store of E. J. Harmon & Co., on Congress street, was damaged by fire early in the morning of February 15. The loss in the Harmon store was caused principally by smoke and water and was estimated as not more than $300, mostly covered by insurance. Rose Plants Ob own roots. Send lor list C. M.

During the last week the wea'ther was unfavorable, and consequently few peo- ple were out. The celebration of Lin- coln's birthday occasioned a few dinner decorations, and toAvard the latter part of the week retailers were cornering the Jerusalem cherry plants for Washing- ton's anniversary. Stock is still plenti- ful. Bulb stock is moving very satis- factorily. Various Notes. The dance and card party held by the Minnesota State Florists' Association at the U. C. T. assembly rooms, St. Paul, on the evening of February 15, was a decided success. About 100 couples at- tended. Frappe was served during the evening and supper at twelve. All the florists of the Twin Cities were present, and a number of out-of-town brother craftsmen dropped in. The festivities, were prolonged so that it was decided to postpone the meeting that should have been held the following evening un- til February 23. T. H.

Knopf J 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. Description:— The color of Mrs. Chas. Knopf Is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. The flower is 4^ inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal with stifTness that gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stlSer, it keeps and ships much better than the above variety.

KRTF., PA, Current CommeaL Several thousand dollars' worth of damage was done to the shade trees of Erie by the recent storm. Telegraphic communication with the outside world was entirely cut off for a few days, while poles and wires were strewn about on the streets promiscuously. On Monday, February 15, Buffalo could be reached by wire, but Tuesday and Wednesday were hopeless. The city was dark at night, on account of the danger from live Avires. There was no damage re- ported from any of the greenhouses, ex- cepting slight loss of outside shrubbery^ Business has been quiet for a few days, while stock is getting more plentiful and good in quality. Jesse Frost, formerly assistant fore- man for the Baur Floral Co., has re- signed and is building a greenhouse, in which he intends to grow choice vege- tables. The Herald Paper Box Co., of Erie, is commencing to manufacture boxes for the retail florists' use. Miss Elizabeth Moran, saleslady at the store of the Baur Floral Co., has been on the sick list. The Erie Y. W. C. A. is having a *'War of the Roses." One lady is cap- tain of the * ' Red Rose Party ' ' and an- other of the ' ' White Rose Party. ' ' The war is to determine which side can se- cure the greater number of members for tke Y. W. C. A. in. a given time. The decorations at their banquet, given "be- fore the war," consisted of red and white roses. B. P. NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y. TTie King Construction Co. found it desirable to establish a distinct depart- ment for the handling of all matters pertaining to sales. H. E. Bates, who is well known among growers in the east, has taken charge of this new sales de- partment. Mr. Bates has recently been with John A. Payne, of Jersey City. Previous to this he was with Hitchings & Co. and with the Pierson-Sefton Co.

WASHINGTON. The Market. The continuous spring weather for the last ten days has had a telling effect on the foisythia and bulbous stock in the parks. This has been another busy week. Con- tinuous funeral work, receptions and din- ners have kept everybody busy. Stock is coming in more plentifully. Various Notes. Laurel roping and greens are com- mencing to arrive for the inaugural fes- tivities. The Gudes have started on the court of honor. J. H. Small & Sons have the ball in the pension oflSce. W. W. Kimmel has the contract to plant 300 spruce trees at the approach to the new Union station. It is estimated that be- tween 25,000 and 50,000 yards of laurel garland will be used for decorating. Ed. Barry, for years with the Amer- ican Eose Co., is now with the Gude Bros. Co. The next regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Club will be held Tuesday, March 2, at Eagles' hall. This will be the time for the annual election of officers and a large attendance is ex- pected. S. S. Pennock was in town last week, completing arrangements to open the branch store of the Pennock-Meehan Co., March 1, at 1212 New York avenue, N. W. O. O. GALESBURG,ILL. I. L. Pillsbury reports business excel- lent, both local trade and his mail-order business in his patented carnation staple, which he is sending all over the United States. He was at Springfield last week to exhibit a vase of carnations, the bursted calyxes of which he had mended with his staple, and was especially pleased that the judges, Peter Olsem. Geo. A. Kuhl and F. L. Washburn, all men who grow and handle carnations, should speak, in their report to the Illi- nois State Florists' Association, of his staple, adding "Which we consider a very good thing."

Mention The Review when you writ" PREPARE FOR EASTER An immense stock of Easter plants are now ready for immediate shipment, bloom- ing Easter week or before if desired. : : "From whom shall we purchase our Easter supply this hcason?" That seems to be the cry all over the country. "We tried so many." "I know what I am going to do," some sensible man says. "I shall go back to Godfrey Asch- mann; I found him the truest and most reliable man in the business. What he advertises he has, and there is no bluff about it. I tell you his im- mense stock of choice Azalea Indica can't be beat, and he knows just exactly what people want. And lilies! he has them this spring to beat the band. The finest I ever saw. No wonder. He imports them direct from Japan, where he has a friend who looks after his interests and sends him the cream of the island. He has such a mass of it that he can supply all who want to buy lilies. And don't talk about his other plants, of which he has an equally large stock. I never saw such a sight of Cineraria Hybrida Orandiflora, hydrangeas, spiraeas, tnlipa. hyacinths, ferns, arancarias. palms and other stock as he has for Easter. He has a stock of such abundance and beauty, and at such re- markably low prices, that he is able to challenge any rival firm in the country." A specialty with us is Azalea Indica, grown for us under contract by an Azalea Specialist in Belgium. Have houses full of the choicest American varieties, right for Easter, such as have never before been duplicated. Simon Mard- ner (double pink), Dr. Hoore (double pink), Deutsche Perle, Niobc.

Notice: Please bear in mind that we do not import aza- leas to sell dormant in fall, having the residue left for Easter, but force only the good ones for Christmas and Easter, which now are all cov- ered with buds, and the price is 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each.

Florists' Review When Writlnc Advertisers 66 The Weekly Florists^ Review* J Pkbruary 25, 1909. PITTSBURG. The Market Trade conditions have not shown much change, although comparing it with last year it is some better. Carnations have been somewhat scarce, but there are enough other flowers of all kinds. Koses are getting finer and more plentiful every day ; good Beauties continue scarce. Violets clean up, but at low prices. For some reason this flower will not bring the prices of former years. The lilies, tulips and jonquils coming in are especially fine. The retail stores are keeping up fine displays in their windows and it seems to be necessary to do this and anything else possible to stimulate trade. The close of the fashionable season is usually the best of the winter for florists, but, while there are many small social affairs, they do not have much effect on the busi- ness. Various Notes. One of the retailers says in looking over the year's business he finds that his profits are not much less than other years, notwithstanding the fact that the decoration business has been almost noth- ing, and he is satisfied that the trouble in other years has been that the wealthy have been keeping him and his force busy and enabling them to make a big show, while he made his profits off the smaller trade. Hereafter the smaller buyers will command more respect from him. Mrs. E. A. Williams is one of our peo- ple who says she has no word of com- plaint to make, as her trade, while not up to other years, at least has kept her busy and shows a fair profit. Randolph & McClements have moved their Highland store to Penn avenue, where they will be able to make a better show. Their principal store will still remain at Baum and Beatty streets. Samuel McClements was host at a din- ner given to a number of his friends at the Eittenhouse February 15. President Burki has been looking over the grounds and says he thinks he will be able to secure the finest accommodations the Carnation Society has ever had for next year. Ho says Pittsburg will have a big show anu it must be placed right. Thos. Smith, of the Pitvsburg Cut Flower Co., participated iu the big Marathon race February 2t', in which there were almost 5,000 entries. He came in for a prize. W. H.

Persimmon seeds will germinate read- ily sown just as peach or apricot pits are, viz., in nursery rows, dropping the seeds a few inches apart in early spring. The seed should be kept cool and damp through the winter, rather than dry. This insures earlier germination. If you only wish to sow a few seeds, they can be started in a cold greenhouse or frame about April 1. These fruits cannot be relied upon to reproduce themselves and the plants will therefore require budding when two or three years old. C. W. TO RETARD HYACINTHS. We have a lot of hyacinths, two bulbs to a pot, which we want for Easter sales. They are buried in coal ashes on the north side of the house, and now have good shoots an inch or so in length. We have mild winters in this locality (North Carolina) and nearly every year just before Easter we have a week or so of warm weather, and it is almost impos- sible to keep hyacinths from being in bloom before Easter. Is it possible to put these in cold storage about the first of March and thus hold them back for Easter? If so, how should they be treated? Would they have to be buried in ashes in the storage? What tempera- ture? How long before Easter should we begin forcing them? W. S. G. I would recommend you to stand your hyacinths at once on the floor of a cold cellar. They need not now be covered with ashes. In such a place you should be able to hold them back for Easter. Give them a dark position for a time, and more light as the tops lengthen. Any temperature just above freezing will be all right. Hyacinths will not require j^.iS'u \' Februabt 25, 1909.

The tables were beautifully decorated and the menu was all that could be desired. About 100 partook of the feast. Arthur Herrington acted as toastmaster. Among the notable guests present were the Long Branch city council, John Shore and W. E. Maynard. The Elberon Horticultural Society held its regular meeting February 15. After routine business had been transacted, N. Butterbach read a paper on * ' Roses, ' ' which was listened to with marked atten- tion and was followed by a spirited dis- cussion by all the members present. This evidence of interest pleased Mr. Butter- bach so much that he thanked the mem- bers for the pleasure it gave him to read to such an enthusiastic meeting. A hearty vote of thanks was given Mr. Butterbach. W. B. Beavek, Pa. — It is reported that the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad will -soon begin the construction of green- houses on ground owned here.

WoRCESTEK, Mass. — Early in the morning of February 16, one end of a boiler at H. F. Littlefield's greenhouses was forced out by an explosion and some glass in the boiler-room windows was smashed. The explosion was discovered before the greenhouse temperatures had dropped enough to injure the plants. Oil stoves were put in barely in time to save the stock from blight.

(JreeBhonse Heating. ESTIMATING RADIATION. In building a boiler, how many square feet of heating surface to the foot? One square foot of boiler heating surface will heat how many square feet of hot water radiation? j jj ip It is estimated that one square foot of heating surface in a hot water boiler will provide heat for eight square feet of radiation in the heating system. If a pipe heater is in question, the heating surface will depend upon the size of the pipe used, each square foot of ra- diation being supplied by two lineal feet of 11/,-inch pipe, or two and three-tenths lineal feet of 1^4 -inch pipe, or one and three fifths lineal feet of 2-inch pipe.

The boiler in question is rated between seventy and eighty horse-power, probably seventy-five horse-power, and has a heat- ing surface of approximately 1,000 square feet. The grate area will depend upon the character of the fuel to be used. If the fuel is hard coal, there should be one square foot of grate surface to forty of heating surface; if soft coal is used, one to eighty. The boiler should, there- fore, have a grate with twenty five square feet of surface for hard coal or twelve n The Weekly Florists' Review, FBBitUAitx 25. 190e. and one-half square feet of surface for soft coal. The stack should be thirty- three inches in diameter for the large grate and eighteen inches for the. small. L. C. C TVO VIRGINIA ROSE HOUSES. On page 74 of the Eeview of February 4, I read the inquiry o5 D. G. G. and the answer, and i wish to take the lib- erty of disagreeing with the instructions given. As the heading says "Two Vir- ginia Rose Houses," I do not think it would be necessary to put in twenty-two pipes in each house, or nearly that num- ber, for we around Chicago never use more than eighteen pipes to the same space, and some use only fifteen and have no trouble in keeping warm. I should suggest that D. G. G. put three pipes under each bench, if he in- tends to build six benches to the house, and the best and cheapest way to install them would be as follows, assuming, of course, that the houses run east and west: Run the main, 4-inch in the first house and 3-inch in the second, across the two houses at the center walk, with a tee at the center of each of the three north benches, opening at the top. From these branch with a li/^-inch pipe to the bench on each side, down to just below the bottom of the crosspiece under the bench. Then run each 1%-iiich pipe to the farther end of the house, run along the end of the house and return under the three south benches to the center, connecting there with the return pipe, which would only need to be 2-inch, with a fall of one inch to twenty-five f«et. This system will give perfect satisfac- tion, and as the pipes under the farthest north bench return under the farthest south, there will be plenty of pipe at the ends to keep them warm. Allow not less than two inches of space between the cross pipes at the ends, for expansion. One-inch valves at the flow pipes and %- inch valves at the return would be large enough. W. J. K. THE WATER "BLOWS OFF.** I recently installed a new hot water boiler, rated at 6,400 feet of 2-inch pipe, and have had trouble ever since. There are two 4-inch perpendicular pipes run- ning up from the second and third open- ings in (he boiler. These connect into 3-inch pipes, which connect with the 3- inch flow pipes running to the farther end of the two houses, and there enter- ing manifolds that supply the return pipes under the benches — ten 2-inch re- turns in one house and eleven in the other. These returns connect with a 3-inch pipe at the bt iler end of the house, and the 3-inch pipe connects with a 4 inch return which enters the boiler. Altogether, there are twenty-one 2-inch returns fed by the two 3-inch flows. The drop in the 3-inch flows, from where they enter the houses to the farther end, is about thirty inches. The 2-inch returns have a gradual drop to the boiler end of the houses, and the 3-inch pipe which they there enter has a straight drop of two feet and then connects with the 4-inch, which has a gradual drop to the boiler. The flow pipes have separate connections to the boiler, one on each side of the boiler. The expansion tank is a 20-gallon barrel, and connection is made to it from one of the returns, about twenty feet from where it enters the boiler. The ex- pansion tank is about two feet higher than the highest part of the system and Iminraved Recording THERMOMETER Just Ibe Thing for Yaur Greenhouse llIlnoiB State Florists' AsBOciatlon.

There is a %-inch stand pipe, to keep air out of the system, connected to both of the 4-inch perpendicular pipes up out of the boiler. In order to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees in one house and 55 degrees in the other house, it is necessary to have on a good, lively fire, and unless the boiler is kept from boiling, the water will blow oflf out of the %-inch stand pipe and thereby empty the system of water. By standing close to the boiler, closing the ash door and damper and opening wide the fire door as soon as the water begins to steam, we are able to keep the water from blowing out of the stand pipe. The consumption of fuel is awful, caused by having to leave the fire door open so that the water in the boiler will not boil and blow oflf. I had the best plumber in the town make the connection to the new boiler and he put on the stand pipe, too. T. W. M. This looks like a case of too little radiation, but I cannot say for certain, as you do not state the size of the houses. If you will state the length, width and height of the houses, we can tell. As an immediate help, take out the %-inch stand pipe and put a plug tapped for a pet cock in place first ; then elevate the expansion tank to ten or twelve feet above the highest point in the system. Use a large tank and when the system is cool have only two or three inches of water in the bottom of the tank. These changes will help. L. C. C.

There was an active sale of violets, with an abundance of stock to supply «11 de- mands. There was also a good call for red roses and carnations.

The weather, the music, the floor, the refreshments and all appointments were ideal, and the affair was the most successful social event ever held in the Twin Cities. The arrangements were in the hands of O. J. Olson, L. K. Cady and T. W. Nagel, who deserve much praise for the success of the affair. X. Y. Z. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. .

William Schlatter & Son, of Spring- field, Mass., are planning for three addi- tional houses, 25x123, for cut flowers, to supply their increasing demand. Last summer both members of this hustling firm made a trip to Europe. It was for- ty-three years since William, Sr., had cast eyes on the old soil, and William, Jr., was kept busy listening to the oft spoken remark of "How things have changed!"
