One of the problems frequently put up to a retail florist is to meet the re- quirements of a customer in the matter of lettering a funeral design without doing too great violence to the can- ons of good taste. Frequently the customer demands that which is impos- sible of execution without ruining the artistic qualities of the design. It was so in the instance of the wreath on easel shown in the accompanying illus- tration. This design was made by the Quakertown Plant Co., Quakertowu, Pa., and is excellent in every respect save the far too prominent lettering on the chiffon streamer, though the design would have been still better had the easel been wound with asparagus or smilax. Just why a man should in- sist on "My Dear Wife" in the big- gest letters possible is hard to com- prehend, but it is easy enough to un- derstand what the florist must do in such a case, for if nothing less will satisfy the customer, the florist must accede. But as a general proposition lettering on the ribbon « to be depre- cated, and never encouraged unless the piece is a large one, such as often is sent by lodges or through the contribu- tions of fellow employees. Where let- tering is demanded on the ribbon, it really should be ribbon and not chiffon. Big, bold letters are in as bad taste as to« small ones are ineffective. Where lettering is demanded the florist should seek to keep it, not only within few w^ords, but those few from becoming the most conspicuous feature of. the de- sign. On a wreath or a spray there is no place for lettering; on these funeral flowers no more than a card should be used. HINTS FOB BEOINNEBS. First Principles in Designing. While floral designing as a whole is a vast and complex subject, simplicity is one of its cardinal virtues. While there is a picture in every petal and an art gallery in every plant, a single feature of a decoration should be as much of a unit as a cherry tree in bloom. While there is infinite variety in design forms and color tones, each is framed after an evident plan; so, with some one idea in mind, a spray or design need never be a clod. If the ideas must needs come from some- body else's work first, they need not end there. As soon as one learns to see design forms in leaves, in petals, in plants, so soon can he fix on a de- sign mentally and proceed to execute it. Then he is beginning to "live, move and have a being." But as to where to use these forms and combina- tions, his judgment must be matured enough to dictate. The Art of Letting Alone. Uncertain as to his claims to a place in his «ho8en world, a beginner gets fussy over a finished design or spray, not because he sees faults, but because it looks "funny." But do not pick amd fuss. If a flower stem looks a lit- tle contrary, let it alone, and you -have learned an important lesson. This art of "letting alone" is one of the high accomplishments of a thorough artist. To let flowers have their own way, and grip them at it, spells an artist's de- sign. To give them a chance to place themselves so that they can direct their together, do not fuss or change unless you have a good reason for doing so, or a demand frpm a purchaser. Moderation in Use of Greens. .\ beginner is prone to fancy that he can not get along without a great lot of green in sprays. The more you can do with a little, the greater is the evidence of your progress. Do not use half a gross of ferns for a fair sized casket bouquet. Do not think you must have a whole mound under a spray, to avoid flatness. Train the rose stems to Jiold themselves, either by their own strength or by wiring. Catching and fastening them at the base of the stems is the best help to this end. As a rule, the flowers should incline up- ward, but not all at the same angle or distance apart. The best ground for a casket bunch is its own foliage, and more of it. Wanting this, use ferns or other foliage sparingly. Unless their stems are extremely long and heavy, large sfirays of roses, carnations or p f ^^ 1^ A 'VI' l^ ^ ■ /* .' •^•■ '" '■ ^' iM f ' .v^K ... ,^LL..w^^^ •7' ' w^w % , «ft rlP^:..

This is true of all spray arrangements and of the strictly decorative parts of a fu- neral piece, such as the spray on a solid pillow, the shower on a cascade wreath, or the trim on the base of a standing piece. After getting a spray lilies need a^./€liin support of brushy foliage. ^ Odds aJid Ends of Materials. Do not think, because you lack th"e orthodox material with which to cover a design, that it can not be made. Some of the best and most pleasing 12 The W Ay Florists' Review. Septembeb 7, 1911. bits of formal work I ever saw were made of odds and ends and unusual things, especially in summer, when the stock of roses and carnations is either a minus quantity or scarcely present- able. A large assortment of foliage, iu green, red and brown, stands at your command. Then, when we have an abundance of foliage at hand, we waste it. We throw away rose stems, carnation foliage and bulb leaves by the bushel and buy ferns to use with the flowers, both in loose bases and as Ca background for pieces. Why would it not be more economical, as well as more artistic, to use the natural foliage with each kind of flower? When arranging a spray or flat piece, consider that when placed on a casket the side" view is more studied by those present, as they sit through the service, than is the top or face of the piece. After laying on a neat background, make the outside edge as attractive as the top. Too often the edge is as raw as an unfinished seam. At least plan for a little finish of small flowers or green, which shall hide the forests of picks and wire which support the flow- ers on the top, or the face of a piece. To Avoid Monotony. How fo vary the stj'lo and finish of a number of sprays to be sent to the same funeral, with no great assortment of flowers or varieties to draw from — this is a problem that bobs up serenely every once in a while. Well, let us see how many schemes we can* evolve from one variety of pink roses, in quantities of two to five dozen. One may he a long, slendervspr,^^% with the stems left the natural length, not neces- ■ sarily straight or decidedly curved, but just as they will. Tie with chiflFon or ribbon to match, in two thick ro- settes with long ends. Make another of shorter, bushier style, with the stems wired so as to stand out and up saucily. Let them radiate in all directions. Tie bud and made heavy at the bases. Bring the two stem ends together, cross them and tie. Bring the two tips together and wire. Use a full tie, with short loops and ends, and you have ap informal crescent wreath. A loop o'IfNo. 21 wire, clinched to the stems un3%Hieath in several places, will keep the shape of tfee design. For a large spray make two tapering sprays and fasten them together end for end. If the double stem end is thick and strong, stem a few shorter roses and insert over the stem space as in moss. Do not allow the attitudes of these last roses to be too angular and straight. Let them recline, and grade them from that position to an erect one in the center. To still another add a shower on the stems or a group of adiantums. To another add a band of smaller flowers of contrasting colors, such as forget- me-nots, pansies, alyssums or others. Then a large spray may be supple- mented by a small spray or two, as branches. As a further deviation, throw back several stems from the main spray over the stems, letting them remain as they happen to fall, over or under the tie. G. B. THE MULLANPHY AUTO. The problem of delivery for retail flower -stores never was simple, and it becomes more complicated every day.. Since the automobile has come into gen- eral use, the retailer 's problem is even more difficult than before. Retailers who have adopted the automobile, 'and many hundreds have done so, speak in highest terms of the efficiency of the service when all goes well, but many say, after some experience, that thej^ find the high priced, high class motor wagons ' ' a necessary evil.

For a third scheme, arrange a long, slender spray. When finished pull the top around to the stem end, fasten with a slender wire and you have an informal wreath. An Informal Orescent Wreath. Another: Arrange two long, slender sprays, each tipped with a half blown tors of the store known as Mullanphy Florist, at St. Louis. It is a White car, the second of its type in St. Louis. There is nothing handsomer on the street, but in the first four months the tire expense was $200. In this con- nection it should be noted that the period included long stretches of the hottest weather ever known at St. Louis and that hot weather always is hard on tires. "William A. Seeger says he believes the car to be more ex- pensive than horse delivery, unless it is kept busy, but that if the volume of business is enough to keep the car on the go, it is cheaper than doing a sim- ilar amount of delivery with horses. The firm has not yet felt able to dis- pose of the two white wagons, drawn by dapple-gray horses, with which they have previously done their de- livery. Incidentally, Kingsley & Setfger started in the flower business four years ago, neither one having any ex- perience in -the trade. Now they have thirteen employees and use an immense amount of stock, principally in funeral work, which has been their specialty. F. T. Delaney, who sits at the wheel in the auto, was the first employee of the firm. OVERHEABD. "Five years ago today," said the neighbor, "I gave up my liberty. No, not jail, the same old stall — matri- mony. ' ' "Well," said the Florist, "if it hap- pened five years ago today, this is your wooden wedding anniversary, and of course you're observing the date prop- erly. I suppose you're going to send your wife a box of fliowers?" /'Well, no, I hadn't thought of doing it,*" said the neighbor. "Aren't you going to make her a little present in commemoration of that wooden anniversary?" inquired / the Florist. p*'No, I don't think I'm going to do that," doggedly answered the neigh- bor. "Well, it was a wooden wedding, all right, even when it took place five years ago," said the Florist. "Your wife got a blockhead then, and she still has him." And the neighbor wondered. Though of course some men never can understand why a woman is so keen about remembering anniversaries, any more than some women can under- stand why a man is so keen about batting averages, S. S, . GINEBABIAS FOB EASTEB. Can you give me some information about growing cinerarias in frames? When will it be safe to put them out, »o as to have them in bloom for Eas- ter in 4-inch and 5-inch pots? I can keep them inside until the last potting. When shall I sow the seed? J. L. Lose no time in sowing the cineraria seed. It would have been better to have it sown by the middle of August. Cinerarias do well in frames until the middle of November if protected by mats on cold nights. They require a cold house; one not over 45 degrees at night in winter suits them best. As Easter comes much earlier in 1912 than in 1911, you should be able to hold your cinerarias back in a cool house until that time, April 7, by shading the gldss well and giving plenty of ventilation, Coldframes in spring would not hold the plants back any better than a greenhouse. When in flower they can be stood on the floor of a cold cellar and held in good con- dition for a week or ten days. Better flower your plants in 5-inch and 6-inch pots; 4-inch pots are too small. C.

The city of Detroit has been the scene of so many trade conventions that the enterprise of the Detroit flo- rists is a matter of wide knowledge. Among these enterprising Detroit men, Albert Pochelon is taking a leading place. He is the proprietor of •thei Bemb Floral Co., having devoted ma^ years to the upbuilding of its business. Mr. Pochelon joined the late L. Bemb before that gentleman/ began to find the cares of business weighing heavily upon him, but the employer soon found that the younger man was demonstrat- ing a capacity out of proportion to the average employee's desires to assume responsibilities and he gradually turned over the details of the business to him. At the death of Mr. Bemb, Mr.' Pochelon was the logical one to ca,rry on the business. In the last few years the flower trade in Detroit has pro- gressed as never before and Mr. Poche- lon has kept at the head of the pro- cession. Just now he is engaged upon the erection of a new store building and conservatory, which will be one of the largest and finest of its kind in the country. The store is to be in a 4-story steel frame building, the front of which is to be laid up in glazed terra cotta and ornamental Pewabic tile panels. The main stairway will be reinforced concrete finished with Moravian tile. Handsome as will be the exterior of the building, the archi- tect's plans contemplate equal ornate- ness for the flower store, combined with arrangements which will make it a model for convenience in handling a constantly increasing volume of sales. DARWIN TULIPS. I have a quantity of Darwin tulip 'bulbs, about one-half of which are of flowering size, but I do not know how to properly grow them on. Can your correspondent, C. "W., tell me how to grow them on to full sized bulbs? G. K. Sandy loam is the best for growing on the tulips, as this gives clean, bright bulbs J in heavy soil they be- come dark and speckled. Plant them out about the end of September in beds 31/^x4 feet. The smallest offsets can go two inches apart, but larger ones should have double this space. Cover the bulblets four or five inches deep, with six to eight inches between the rows. The ground is better well spaded over or plowed, incorporat- ing some well decayed manure in it. Cover the beds with straw or some other material after the ground freezes, removing it early in April. The smaller bulblets will probably not reach flowering size for three years, but larger ones will bloom the first and second years, C. W. PROPAGATINQ VINCAS. Please give particulars about the/ propagation of vincas, when to start them, etc. I do not have good luclc with them. O. E. H. Vinca major and its varidgated form are the varieties mostly used by florists and it is probably the varie- gated one to whidh 0. E. H. refers. This vinca can be rooted almost any time of the year, but the present month is an excellent one for the work. Albert Pochelon. The soft cuttings just starting from the base of the plants, if rubbed oft' .with heels, will root quickly in an or- dinary cutting bench suitable for the propagation of chrysanthemums and carnations. Another method, requir- ing rather a longer period to root the cuttings, is to cut up some of the long shoots into pieces containing a couple of eyes each. Choose wood that is moderately firm, but reject that which is old and woody. With reasonable care as to watering and shading, nearly all these will root. Pot off into 2-inch or 214-inch pots when rooted and later shift into 3-inch or 3V^-inch. Before bedding-out time these will make nice, salable plants, but of course are not equal to the stock which has been grown one season in the field. Any unsold stock should be planted out in the field rather than carried over the summer in pots. C W. HYACINTHS AND PAPER WHITES. What treatment shall I give Roman hyacinths and Paper White narcissi after placing them in flats, in order to have them in flower aa early a* possi- ble? S. S. Soak the flats well with water. Place them in a coldframe or on a cellar floor. Cover the hyacinths with three or four inches of cinders, but do not similarly cover the Paper Whites. Do not allow the soil to become dry. By starting Paper Whites now and simply keeping them in a frame or in an ordi- nary greenhouse below the benches, you can easily have them in flower early in November. The Eoman hya- cinths cannot be flowered so early. Allow them to sprout about three inch- lis before housing them. Then give a tiight temperature of 60 to 65 degrees ;ind they will flower early in December. The Paper Whites will do better if not grown too warm; 50 to 55 degrees is sufficient. Both these and the Ro- mans are improved if stood in a cool house when the flowers axe expanded. C. W. ASTERS FOR CHRISTMAS. Can I have asters in flower at Christ- mas in benches in a carnation tempera- ture? If so, how and what kinds? L. V. A. I* have never tried asters as a Christ- mas crop and doubt if they would- prove a paying proposition, with chrysanthe- mums still in season and procurable with so much longer stems than you could hope to se^eure on the asters. It would now be too late to sow seed for Christmas flowering. The plants should be of a sufficient size to transplant now. One of the best indoor varieties is Queen of the Market. It carries excel- lent stems and produces a lot of blooms per plant. A carnation temperature would answer well and asters would do all right in your regular carnation compost. White and pink would be the best selling colors. C. W. Des Moines, la. — J. W.

The growth of primulas is now much more rapid. The proper place for them for some time yet is iu coldframes. Ill greenhouses they will become more drawn, no «iatter how carefully they are tended. Plenty of ventilation at the tops and bottoms of the sashes should be given, where sashes are used. Glass covering is better dis- pensed with entirely, except to thro'w off heavy rains. Shade from bright - sunshine must be given and for this purpose the light wooden lath shades are better than any cloth coverings. - They are cooler and admit air and a sufficiency of sunlight. The plants should now be ready for their final potting if they are to be in good condition for Thanksgiving and (."hristmas sales. This applies more es- pecially to the Sinensis section, which sells particularly well at these holidays. The obconicas and . Kewensis are usually in better condition in February and March, but a good many can be flowered for Christmas. la giving the, final potting, a/good compost is one of two-thirds well decayed pasture loam, ** one-third cow manurOj screened, and a "^eijd dash each of sharp sand, pow- dered charcoal and soot. Be sure to pot the Sinensis sufficiently deep, so that they are not wabbly; if properly potted they should not need any sup ports. Fropagation. While we may not get frost for some time, yet it is well to take clippings of some of the more tender bedding plants now. Many growers wait and lift a few old plants of coleus and alternan- thera. These plants make ideal har- bors for mealy bug; rather than lift old roots, fill a few flats with alternan- thera cuttings — they root quickly in sandy soil. The same holds good of coleus. Heliotrope is a popular bed- ding plant, of which a batch of cut- tings should also now he taken. If you want to increase your stock of crotons, colored draca^nas, Pandanus Veitchii, dieffenbachias, acalyphas and other tropical bedding subjects, now is a good time to put them in the propa- gating bench. If well watered, shaded and kept close, few will fail to root. Calceolarias. During the summer months these make slow growth, but with the advent of cool nights they take on a new lease of life. Green aphis is the bane of calceolarias. If, however, they are in a frame, the proper place for them until the end of October, it is easily kept in check by fumigation. Pot them along before the pots get at all matted, or the plants will do little good. Spray over at midday on warm days and throw oflF the sashes at night, unless a rain storm seems imminent. Tlie small plants like a soil with con- siderable leaf-mold in it, but for the later shifts use loam, cow manure and sand. Some fine broken charcoal is also good for calceolaria?. Transplanting. ' ■ Now is the time to transplant the seedling pansies, violets, forget-me- nots, daisies, aubrietias, alyssums |^nd other spring-flowering bedding plants. Where large quantities are grown, beds oh ground with a gentle slope can be utilized, but the average country florist, growing onl.v a few hundreds or thou- sands, will find it better to prick them out directly into coldframes, using a light and moderately rich soil. Do not place any sashes over them until really sharp winter weather sets in. Hydrangeas. Hydrangea plants which have been pot-grown are the best adapted for Another Double Spathed Calla. early forcing. Presuming that they have been grown in the full suA, the wood should now be getting harfl- To prepare plants for early forcing, grad- ually reduce the water supply, in order td further mature the wood and foli- age. When time permits, it is a good plan now to pot up a good batch of the field-grown plants. They always lift well. There is no need for a large ball, or pots of unwieldy size will be needed. I prefer to shake away most of the soil, taking care, of course, to keep all possible roots intact. Pot firmly, soak well with water and stand them where some lath shading can be run over them during bright sunshine for a few days. Spray several times- daily and the plants will soon become established and stand full sunlight. Amaryllises. Give amaryllises the full sunlight now if they have been kept well fed throughout the summer. The bulbs will have increased wonderfully in size. Do> not dry off the plants at all yet; such, treatment is unnatural and only weak- ens them. About five or six weeks hence some of the leaves will be turn- ing yellow; then gradually reduce the water supply. Common-sense culture is frequently not given to these showy plants; not infrequently we have seen them, after flowering, laid on their sides under some bench to rest, where they will remain until a year hence, when perchance they will thrcfw up softie feeble spikes. The best growera of amaryllises rest their plants but little; in fact, the plants sometimes do not shed all their leaves. A long^ severe drying off is more harmful than beneficial. ^ Lorraine Begonias. The early plants of Lorraine be- gonias will require considerable atten- tion now. If not staked up and tied securely, they will soon, be so twisted and broken as to be useless. When- ever possible, use stakes which are thin, green and inconspicuous. It is better to keep the flowers picked off for some time. ■ These begonias are now often seen nicely bloomed in October. From Thanksgiving to Christ- mas is the best sellmg period for them. The earliest plants, which are well established now, received liquid man- ure every fourth or fifth day. All of. this class of begonias prefer a light to a heavily shaded house. Little shade is now needed for them. Gut- tings just rooted will prove serviceable in small pots or pans. A year ago there was quite a scarcity of the small sizes, but a surplus of the big speci- mens. Never use a heavy soil for these big begonias. A compost of one-half flaky leaf-mold and one-half loam,, with some well rotted manure and sand added, and rather loose potting,, seems to suit them. Stevias. Stevias should now be carefully lift- ed where they have been planted out- doors. They are brittle, and careless handling will break many shoots. After potting, keep them shaded and sprayed for a few days. Keep the plants outdoors just as long as possible. Stevias are injured by the least breath of frost, however, and should be stood where they can have some protection on a cold night, if space indoors is not ready for them. Night winds are liable to cause havoc among them and the plants should be stood where they will not be wind-swept. ANOTHEB DOUBLE CALLA.

Will you please inform me, approxi- mately, what manurial and chemical properties would be likely to be con- tained in a cord of horse manure, with the average amount of straw bedding in it, if it has been thoroughly rotted down for six months outdoors and turned frequently, so as not to be al- lowed to burn? W. C. W. This is not an easy question to an- swer. The value of the manure depends on the food of the animal, on it^ age, to some extent, and on whether it has been kept under cover or exposed to the weather. The New York Cornell station gives the fertilizing constitu- ents and value per ton of the manure of a horse, liberally fed and given sufficient bedding, as follows: Water, 48.69 per cent; nitrogen, .490 per cent; phosphoric acid, .260 per cent; potash, .480 per cent; value per ton, $2.21. Com- pared with cow manure, I find this dif- ference: Water, 75.25; nitrogen, .426 per cent; phospnoric acid, .290 per cent; potash, .440 per cent; value per ton, $2.02. The figures in these tables represent- ed the amount and actual fertilizing values of carefully preserved manure, both solid and liquid, of well fed and cared for animals. The manure was in each case protected from leaching and in some cases a little gymrim was used as a preservative. The/tables showed that, as regards valuer per ton of nor- mal manure obtained, hens excluded, sheep and hogs stood first, horses sec- ond and cotFs third. The Massachusetts Experimental Sta- tion, at Amherst, made numerous analy- ses of manure produced on different farms in the state and the actual aver- ages were: Nitrogen, 0.47 per cent; phosphoric acid, 0.33 per cent; potash, 0.49 per cent; water, 69.6 per cent. It must be remembered that about one-half or more of the value of the excreta of horses and cows is contained in their urine, and where this can be saved and mixed with the solid manure a better balanced fertilizer is the re- sult. The liquid of horses contains 89 per cent water, 1.20 per cent nitrogen, a trace only of phosphoric acid and 1.5 per cent potash and soda. With all water removed, the composition of dry matter of solid and liquid horse manure is as follows: Nitrogen, solid, 2.08 [^ cent; liquid, 10.9 per cent; phos- plTbric acid, solid, 1.45 per cent; liquid, a trace; potash and soda, solid, 1.25 per cent; liquid, 13.6 per cent, • Manure loses its value from fermen- /tation and leaching from the weather. jSuch as is stored under cover will not Hose in value one-third as much as that exposed to the weather. Experiments at several stations show a loss of thirty to fifty per cent in six months on ma- nure stored outdoors, and to lessen this loss it is better to get it on the land at shorter intervals where cover- ing can notybe done. On this subject a whole volume could be written. Please remember that in actual practice probably not over fifty per cent of the values given is realized. C. W. Joliet, m.— Albert G.

Murray Bassott and James Weller, trading as Bassett & Weller, have twelve acres of dahlias at Hammonton, N, J. Their grounds are divided into three farms, one at the residence of each partner and a larger one midway between. Their acreage shows an in- crease over that of last season, when J. Murray Bassett carried on the busi- ness alone. This increase is based on sound business, for not only is the demand for dalilias growing, but the firm has contracts outstanding that make additional space under cultiva- tion a necessity. These contracts are for a specified number of roots of cer- tain varieties, to be delivered in the fall or spring, as the case may be. To encourage this demand, the members of the firm are taking extraordinary ])recautions to avoid mi.xture. They were much impressed by discovering not less than seven varieties in a small order for one variety of dahlia sent out by a first-class house. To avoid the possibility of such an error, a care- ful system of detection and destruc- tion of rogues has been put into opera- tion and systematically pursued. The result is most encouraging. Mr. Bas- sett spoke with pride of the stock being true to name, as he pointed to the well grown fields that have been safely carried through three successive droughts into a condition of sturdy growth conibined with unusual pro- ductiveness. A discussion of varieties brought out in comparison with Lyndhurst, showing points of improvement entitling them to thorough trial. The striking fea- ture of the pink class in commercial dahlias is the improvement of Delice, now considered as even better than the great Kriemhilde, Two striking varieties are coming to the front among the whites: Perle de Lyon is a beautiful decorative variety, possessing so many of the desired-qual- ities that it is more highly prized than the older Perle d'Or; Corona, some- times styled the carnation dahlia, sometimes the gardenia dahlia, is a wonderfully productive variety, with pure white flowers, highly prized for every-day design work. Yellow Duke looked well in the fields; it is seemingly more popular than the older Mrs. (J. W. Bruton. The single varieties in all colors — Century type, of course — are extensively cultivated. The plants were exceedingly vigorous and full of bloom. This question of bloom brought out an interesting point. Storm King is so persistent a bloomer that in order to get fine roots the flower stems were all taken oflf — Storm King being a variety that will bloom itself to death, as the growers express it; that is, it will bloom to the detri- ment of the roots. The cooling room contained some fine stock. In addition to the varieties mentioned, were Arabella, Sylvia, Lyndhurst and some others, too well known to need description. Bassett & Weller have the prettiest 1 1 . • .. ^^^^kwv 1 Dahlia Perle de Lyon. Mr. Bassett 's fondness for Jack Eose, justified by some superb flowers that improve wonderfully in size and color- ing under certain favoring weather conditions. Two other scarlet dahlias are worthy of mention in the crimson- red class; one is a cactus variety from the west, the other a decorative seed- ling of their own; both are interesting greenhouse in Hammonton. It has just been completed and was built by them- selves, of King construction. It is 28x60, semi-iron, with concrete walls, and 0^ best practical design, including 16x24 glass in sides and roof. It is designed for the general market, but may be used to further their dahlia industry in the spring. Phil. HASDY PEB^lfNIALS. Attractive in Early September, In early September the herbaceous borders are once more quite attractive. The comparative dearth of good flowers during part of July and early August is now well made up, and while the showing may not prove so interest- ing as in June, there are many good things now in bloom. The perennial phloxes still make a gorgeous showing. Late rains have wonderfully helped, and where care was taken to cut the heads off the early flowering varieties, these are now giving a nice second crop. Phloxes are, perhaps, the most generally useful of all herbaceous plants. There are now so many fine varieties purchasable at low rates that there is no excuse for clinging to the old sour colored sorts, still too much in evidence. Delphiniums and Aconitums. Delphiniums are sending up a nice second crop of spikes and will flower for some time yet. The aconitums are still good. Those are superb peren- nials, not half c';iough appreciated. I have never seen them so well grown as at Bar Harbor, Me., where they are a feature in almost every garden, six to eight feet in height. A. Napellus, dark blue, is still one of the best. There is also a white form, alba, and tricolor, blue and white, which is striking. A. autumnale is a fine dark purple variety, and the new A. Wilsoni, from China, light violet in color, is distinct. This by no means exhausts the list of aconi- tums. I counted fifteen or sixteen dis- tinct forms a year ago at Bar Harbor, in the Mount Desert Nurseries. Other Purples and Blues. Liatris pycnostachya, Kansas gay feather, four to five feet high, carrying bold spikes of purplish flowers, is grand for massing. It flowers a long time and is still effective. The button snakeroot, L. spicata, and L. scariosa, deep purple, are two other members of the family still in bloom. All are of .easy culture and well adapted for cut- ting. Statice latifolia, the great sea lavender, with its great heads of small blue flowers, still blooms. This is last- ing and fine for cutting. I have seen it used to good effect in funeral de- signs. S. Tatarica, with purplish red flowers, now flowering, is less attrac- ^t^vethan S. latifolia, but makes varie- ty, ^^okesia cyanea is a fine native plant. Its fine sky-blue flowers, four inches* across, are still being produced. /This is sometimes called the corn- /flower, also Stokes' aster. A white form of this is also now offered. Boltonias and Gtoldenrods. Boltonias are among the most valua- ble of September blooming plants for cutting. B. latisquama, pink tinged with lavender, is the best sort. There is a dwarf form of this, growing only twenty-four inches high, while the type attains a height of five to six feet in good soil. B. asteroides, white, is also a splendid perennial. Few gardens cultivate the solidagos, as they are so commonly found in a wild state. These are much appreci- ated in Europe and make superb clumps in -the borders here. Few hardy flow- ers can be arranged more beautifully in vases. Such varieties as altissima,' SfiPTBMBBB 7, 1911. Xbe Weekly Florists' RevicwV 17 Canadensis and rigida are well worthy of a place in any herbaceous border. ' Silphiums. The silphiums are too robust for the average perennial border, but for dot- ting between shrubs, or where they can have ample room, they are bold and striking subjects. As they grow six to nine feet high and spread rap- idly, they must not be cramped for space. S. perfoliatum, cup plant, and S. laciniatum, compass plant, each car- rying big, handsome yellow flowers and splendid foliage, are both good. Thalictrum dipterocarpum is the la- test of the meadow rues to flower. Its heads are lilac mauve in -color. Cen- taurea montana, sometimes called the perennial cornflower, is still in bloom, as are its white and pink forms. This perennial gives a succession of flowers for a couple of months. Chelone Lyoni is an excellent herbaceous plant, with purplish red flowers and glossy foliage, attaining a height of three feet, worthy a place in any collection. Tritomas. The tritomas or kniphofias have been flowering for weeks and will persist until sharp frost finishes them. These need frame protection or a well drained piece of ground, well protected with leaves, to winter them successfully in New England. T. Express is the ear- liest sort to flower. Other fine varie- ties are: E. Wilson Kerr, rich orange scarlet; PfitzeVi, orange scarlet, and uvaria grandiflora, crimson shaded yel- h)w. Tritomas are easily raised from seed. They are fin^ for cutting and are much used in retailers' windows in August and September. A Host of Yellow Flowers. A host of yellow flowers are now coming in season. This color is often almost overwhelming in September and October if the several helianthus are not kept in bounds. H. multiflorus plenus and the variety Soleil d 'Or are excellent florists' varieties. Of the single sorts H. rigidus Miss Mellish IS fine; H. mollis has pale yellow flow- ers and silvery leaves, and Wolley Dod is deep yellow. This trio is an ex- cellent one. H. orgyalis, with willow- like leaves, follows in a few days. Trained to single stalks, it branches to the ground and is fine. H. Maxi- miliani, the latest of the family, will not flower for nearly a month.- Helenium autumnale superbum and the variety rubrum are robust peren- nials, which make striking color mass- es in fall. Both are fine for cutting and they are of the easiest possible culture, just as easy aa Eudbeckia laciniata Golden Glow, which has grown so common that people have tired of it. Nevertheless, it is a stately and showy plant. E. triloba, five to six feet high, with deep golden flowers, is useful in September. This is a sin- gle variety; the centers are black. E. Nowmani, with single yellow flowers and a cone center, has just passed. A Trio of Whites. Eupatorium ageratoides, white snake- root, is a grand perennial for cutting. E. serotinum, white, somewhat taller in habit, is also good. Funkia subcor- data grandiflora, with its big, pure white flowers and large, handsome leaves, is now at its best. It likes a little shade, but thrives well even in full sunshine. Dahlia Corona. Hibiscus Moscheutos and its fine va- riety. Crimson Eye, are still in flower. These are specially good on the edge of ponds, as are the lythrums, of which roseum superbum is superior to Sali caria. Anemones. In the Japanese anemones we have plants not half enough known and valued by florists. These need a shel- tered border or should be well covered in winter. Their flowers are now aj)- pearing and will be produced until No- vember. There is no finer perennial for cutting. A. Japonica alba, single white, is still hard to beat. In good soil it will grow four or five feet high. A. Queen Charlotte, semi-double light pink, is fine. Whirlwind, double white, and Lady Ardilaun, white, with over- lapping petals, go to make up a splen- did quartet. These anemones should not be fall planted. Once acquired, they can be propagated ad libitum from root cuttings. Bulbous Plants. Among bulbous plants montbretias are effective in the borders. If divided in the fall and covered with leaves they flower earlier and better than when lifted. There are now some fine varie- ties of these, such as Germania, Lady Hamilton, George Darwin, Martagon and others, with flowers far surpassing in size those of the old sorts, like crocosmseflora, Pottsii, Gerbe d'Or and Etoile de Feu. Galtonia (hyacinthus) candicans is a grand bulbous plant for the borders, and flowers a long time. It is cheaff-and is so effective that it should be more largely grown. It is perfectly hardy in New England. Some lilies still remain. L. Henryi is pass- ing, but L. speciosum and its varieties will prolong the season for some time yet. This, by the way, is the time to plant that grand variety, L. candidum. Be sure to buy the true broad-petaled, north-of-France grown bulbs. Plant four inches deep and get them in the ground as soon as received, as they will probably be making both roots and foliage when received. W. N. Craig. LIME FOB OABDEN SOIL. Would it be advisable to use a little air-slaked lime to sweeten garden soil when making a seed bed for pansies, centaureas and other annuals which are likely to damp off? Would the lime help to keep angleworms and grubs from boring through the bed? W. C. w. i Lime applied once in three years is a necessity in many cases to keep the soil sweet. Try blue litmus paper on your soil. If it turns pink after exposure to the wet soil, lime is needed. Of course,^ in acid soils such seedlings as you have named would be much more liable to damp off. The lime would also help to keep worms and grubs out of the soil. Soft coal soot is also excellent for helping to clean out the latter. Do not use manure at any time when liming, as it would mean the loss of much of the fertilizing properties of the manure. C. W. Findlay, O.— E. J. Foster & Son, of South Cory street, have completed an addition to their greenhouses. Their trade is steadily increasing. 18 The Weekly Florists' Review* Sbptbmbeb 7, 1911. TO EXTERMINATE MEALY BUG. I am sending you some samples of leaves which are infested with mealy bug. I have never had any experience with this before. It came onto the place in a shipment of ferns and now it has spread all over the stock. Can you tell me what I should do to kill it •' •«« the place! R. T. F. If this is not the common mealy bug, it is so closely allied as to be undis- tinguishable. There are two varieties of mealy bug which infest greenhouses. The common one, which you seem to have, has a fringe of spines around the body, the two at the hinder end being the longest." In the less common form these hinder spines are often as long as the body itself. Female mealy bugs lay several hundred eggs each. These are carried under the hinder part of the body. After laying the eggs the parent dies and the eggs hatch in two weeks. They become adult in six to eight weeks, sucking the juices from any^lants they are on. ^^here are several ways of extermina- tion. Force of water, properly direct- ed, should clean them off the bulk of foliage plants. Of course, some will crawl back after being washed off, but persistent use of the hose will make their position on many plants unten- able. One or two of the more powerful nicotine extracts, evaporated over wood alcohol lamps, will kill the bugs. A second or third application should be given, for the newly hatched young from eggs. Fumigation with hydro- cyanic acid gas is undoubtedly the best way, however, to exterminate such pests as mealy bug, scale, white fly, etc. Directions for the use of this have been often given in The Review. Choose a cool evening always for this form of fumigation and give a short exposure if you can ventilate your houses from outdoors. Few })lants sro injured by this gas in cold weather and it would certainly be the cheapest and simplest way to clean out the bugs. Of course, great care is necessary in using this gas, as it is deadly to human beings as well as to all other living things. C. W. TO KILL COUCH GRASS. I herewith send a sample of some grass which is growing on my place. Kiudly tell me the nanfe of it and how I can get rid of it. I salted it and plowed it and raked it off the best I could, but it roots at every joint. It is certainly a sticker. F. F. MUiWAXrEEE. Couch grass, or witch grass, as the weed forwarded is commonly called, is one of the most stubborn of grass weeds to control. If on land which you can plow, turn it over as soon as you can and keep it well harrowed. If this could be done during the hottest summer weather, two or three weeks of this treatment would almost clean out the grass. If it continues to trouble you next year, t would advise sowing some strong growing crop rather thick- ly, so as to smother it. Fodder corn would answer well for this purpose. In land planted with trees, shrubs or herbaceous subjects all that can be done is to use the hoe or cultivator persistently. The only way to clean out this and many other weeds is to till the ground well. This weed can be killed out if you keep at it persistentlv. C. W." The Market. Last week witnessed the opening of the season of 1911-12. A few social events, with a good run of funeral work in the latter part of the week, gave most of the florists a fair amount of business, and it was a pleasure to fill orders, as there was enough stock of good quality to meet all demands. The supply of asters and gladioli is not quite as heavy as for some time past; especially is there, a falling off in the poorer grades, no doubt due to the small returns received for them. The supply of roses is about equal to the demand. New carnations are still a scarce article; but are not much missed. The green goods market is well supplied. Various Notes. The entertainment committee of the Milwaukee Florists' Club has all prep- arations completed for the annual pic- nic, to be held at Stappelf eld 's grove on Sunday, September 10. It is now up to the members and their friends to make the occasion a success. To get to the grove, take the Fox Point car, which leaves every hour, at East Water and Wisconsin streets, get off at the Green Tree road and walk east a short distance. Prizes have been do- nated by members-n^ in former years-; so come one Stm all, to help make merry.' The Burlington Floral Co., of Bur- lington, Wis., is shipping quite a few carnations, of ^^ood quality, to this market and they find ready sale* The G. H. Hunkel Co. reports the arrival of a carload of bulbs. Mr. Hunkel, of this firm, will take a busi- ness run through the Badger State this week. William Zimmermann, who was spending his vacation at Miuocqua, Wis., was obliged to return earlier than he anticipated, owing to a rush of fu- neral work in the latter part of last week. The Baumgarten Floral Co. was quite busy with funeral work whenj;he-^ writer called. The firm is looking(for/' ward to a most prosperous seasoih-/ Mrs. Ennis, of the Wisconsin Floral Co., left September 2 for Portland, Ore., to be gone about three weeks. Her daughter will have charge of the store in the meantime. William Currie, of Currie Bros. Co., returned from the east August 30. He has been enjoying life on the shores of the Atlantic ever since the S. A. F, convention. The Holton & Hunkel Co. is making extensive improvements at the Brown Deer plant, by laying cement walks in the rose houses and building a coal shed, 35x80. Their stock out there is looking well. Will Kennedy, of the C. C. PoUworth Co., is busy taking in the sights at Niagara Falls and other large eastern cities. The firm , reports business as highly satisfactory last week. Though most of the flower stores were closed for the afternoon on La- bor day, the whole force of J. M. Fox & Son were obliged to keep busy getting out orders instead of celebrating. J. E. Matthewson, of Sheboygan, Wis., took a run down to this city in his new car August 31. Mr. and Mrs. OUie Zech, of Chicago, spent part of their honeymoon trip in our midst last week. We hereby extend to them our best wishes for a bright and happy future. Other vis- itors were E. O. Lovell, of Grand Forks, N. D., and George Vatter, of Marinette, Wis. The Wisconsin state fair takes place September 12 to 16, and no doubt many of the craft will drop in to say "Hello!" E. O. OBITUARY. E. R. Meserve. E. E. Meserve, a prominent member of the trade at Los Angeles, Cal., died of pneumonia, August 31, in his home at Signal Hill, a suburb of Los An- geles, after an illness of five days. He was a native of California and had been engaged in horticultural pursuits all his life. He had a range of green- houses at Signal Hill and was also a member of the Los Angeles Flower Market. He is survived by his wife and two children. His father is hor- ticultural commissioner of Los Angeles county. Linnaeus Cox. The death last week is reported of Linnaeus Cox, one of the well known figures in the Philadelphia district. His greenhouses were at 5815 Cottage street, Wissinoming. William Feck. William Peck, owner of the City Greenhouses, at Baraboo, Wis., was killed at Grand Marsh, Wis., Saturday, August 26, when he fell from a flat car on a gravel train. He was born at Ableman, Wis., April 1, forty-four years ago, but had made his home at Baraboo most of his life. He was a conductor on the Chicago & North- western railway, for which road he had worked for nineteen years. He was always a great lover of flowers and about seven years ago he built the first of his greenhouses in the city of Baraboo. Since that time he has added to his greenhouses as increased trade required and materials already on hand would have increased his glass area to 10,000 feet. He managed this estab- lishment while still retaining his posi- tion on the railroad. It had been his intention to quit the railroad and give his whole attention to the greenhouse business in another year, when his tragic death ended his plans. The funeral was held from his home in Baraboo, Monday, August 28. Mem- bers of the B. of R. T., O. R. C. and K. of P. lodges attended in a body, as well as a host of other friends. There were a great many designs and other floral tributes. He is survived by his wife, to whom he had been married but five months, and three children by a former marriage. Patrick Maier. Many of the acquaintances of Pat- rick Maier, of Pittsburgh and Wood- ville. Pa., will be surprised to learn of his death. He had not been in the best of health for some time, but his illness was not considered serious. His physician stated that careful nursing would be -necessary, and a system of treatment was begun at the Passavant hospital, where he died on Saturday, September 2. He was still a young man. He was a successful grower and well liked by the craf t^/Hi^^ green- ■- -i"<;^^-«.r. L''^'ijt.''-jtl < ^'vfTJ*-';^):- Seftembeb 7, 1011. The Weekly Florists' Review. 19 houses and farm, are located at Wood- ville, Pa. BOSTON. The Market. At last we are enjoying clear weather; it seemed good after eight days of steady rain without sunshine. The damp weather, while excellent for vegetation and filling depleted reser- voirs, put a quietus on any activity in the plant trade, and the last week, with the exception of. September 2, was exceedingly dull. The present week things look a little more encour- ' aging. With the influx of people from shore and vacation resorts, busi- ness has received a slight fillip; it might be greater, but it will grow, it is hoped. Koses are improving; the wet spell was hard on them and only the use of constant steam heat kept mildew from raising havoc with them. American Beauty, Prince de Bulgarie, Killarneys and Wards are now excellent. Carna- tions, so far, are few and cut but little figure. Asters continue the leading flower. They are moving better than a week ago, but are still in heavy over- supply, as are gladioli. The latter are fine and it is a pity they are selling so indifferently. Sweet peas are scarce and are of inferior quality. So far the munis seen are all Golden Glow and these are hardly needed with so many fine asters. Liliums, also, are still in overstock. Valley does not sell well. Euphorbia corollata are seen in quan- tity; so, also, are candytuft, cosmos, centaureas and other colored flowers. Cattleyas continue scarce. Gardenias are hardly seen at all. A little Bou- vardia Humboldtii continues to come in. Trade is quiet in both asparagus and adiantum at present. Market Auction Sales. The two wholesale markets held their annual auction sales of stalls September 2. Many growers hope the date will be made the Saturday after rather than before Labor day another year. At the Boston Cooperative Flow- er Market there was, as usual, a large attendance of growers and over 100 stalls were disposed of. W. H. Elliott secured first choice for $115. Among other high bidders were John Barr, John McFarland, Arthur Griffin, N. F. Comley, Edward Wood, James Wheeler and others. The premiums are in ad- dition to an annual rent of $25 per stall. The total sales netted more than a year ago and the directors were well pleased with them. W. W. Tailby made an efficient auctioneer. At the Boston Flower Exchange, Inc., prices ruled remarkably high and bidding was keen. The sales netted several thousand dollars more than in 1910. Among some of the leading buy- ers and premiums paid were: Pierce Bros., four stalls at $165; William Sim, four at $160, two at $175; S. J. God- dard, $175; Montrose Greenhouses, three at $175; W. W. Edgar Co., $155; Geo. E. Buxton, $155; Wm. A. Hast- ings, five at $147.50 to $155; Suter- meister Estate, two at $130; A. Chris- tensen, two at $135; Mann Bros., three at $150, one at $115; J. A.

His large new house at Revere, 50x100, is being built; it will probably be devoted to sweet peas the first season. Mr. Roland will add a block of plant houses to his Revere plant in 1912. A movement has been started for a new horticultural club for Boston, with a small and limited membership. A meeting looking toward organization is called for September 6. The com- mittee calling the gathering consists of J. K. M. L. Farquhar, P. Welch and W. J. Stewart. There should be ample room in Boston for a club of this char- acter, which will not conflict in any way with existing organizations. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Pegler arrived here September 2 on the Lusitania, having been delayed a week owing to the strikes in England. They report a delightful visit in the real American weather prevailing in England. A. Leuthy returned August 31 from his annual European trip, per S. S. Vaderland. He reports unprecedented drought in Germany and Belgium and that everything had a burnt-up appear- ance. Azaleas, he states, had made only short growths and no buds were showing when he was in Ghent. Prices are higher all around for them, but Mr. Leuthy -secured about 20,000. CbarJeB:::^app^Joreman on the Thome estate, matarg^l^, N. Y., has bought the Tuttle /Greenhouses, Melrose High- lands, Mass., and will make carnations a specialty, but will also grow a spe- cial line oi plants and flowers for re- tail trade. The annual show of the products of children's gardens was held at Hor- ticultural hall, September 2. The long drought early in the summer consider- ably affected the exhibits, but they were, nevertheless, quite interesting. The collection of vegetables, flowers and native plants from B. Hammond Tracy, Jr., were noteworthy. Arthur Griffin, of Woburn, has his carnations in splendid shape. He grows 20,000 of the leading sorts. Mr. Griffin, who is an expert plantsman, also has a grand stock of the fine Gloriosa Rothschildiana. He has a new salmon salvia which is decidedly dis- tinct. From August 25 to August ,31 over five inches of rain fell — a steady week of rain, such as has only once pre- viously been recorded In Boston in fifty years. We are still several inches short of the normal precipitation, which in Boston is 42.5 inches per an- num. August temperatures were al- most normal. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Gray returned home this week from their European trip, coming by way of Montreal. Club meetings will be resumed Sep- tember 19. A large influx of new mem- bers is assured. Vacation experiences, instead of a regular lecture, will be the feature of the meeting. Charles J. Harvey, of Needham Heights, is shipping quantities of fine asters; also an excellent lot of gyp- sophila. P. J. Van Baarda, A. K. Rogers and Peter M. Miller attended the annual picnic of the North Shore Horticultural Society at Manchester, August 30. A large crowd was present, though the weather was not favorable. Owen G. Owen and Herbert Clark, of Southampton, L. L, were among the visitors last week. The big vegetable show which opens September 21, on the occasion of the convention of the American Market Growers ' Association, promises to be a supeM^ one.

Seftbmbeb 7, 1911. NEW YORK. The Market. The week opens with perfect weather — cool, sunny, inspiring. The cut flower market has been marking time, and while the advance can hardly be said to have begun, stability and hope are in evidence and the future is bright with promise. The eight days of rain did incalculable good. ' Schools are opening this week, always a happy harbinger of activity. The return from Europe has set in early. American Beauties did not sell well last week. The top price was only for the few. Accumulations of the long stems fell to half their normal value the last of the week. The retail de- mand continues light and there are no especial causes for demand in weddings or funerals. The theaters, however, begin to assert their needs. There are few good roses of any kind, but in another week the supply will be normal and the new stock nears perfection. The short-stemmed stock goes at unheard-of figures, and some of it does not go at all. Carnations are rapidly improving, both in size and stem, and the price follows quality. Lilies have not gpne above $3 per hundred, but the advance to $4 this week is hoped for. Valley stays at $2 per hundred for the best. For orchids, 75 cents remains the top figure. Gaskelliana is about over, and labiata is arriving. Of the lower grades and varieties there are some ten in the market, but demand for these is transitory. Another week ■ will see the departure of the gladioli as a market menace, but of asters there is apparently no end. Every wholesaler was loaded with them Satur- day, and their benches looked like the usual fall flower show at the American Institute as to quality. The cooler weather and improving business out- look should make the prospect better before the present week has ended. Various Notes. Next Monday evening, September 11, the opening meeting of the New York Florists' Club takes place at the head- quarters in the Grand Opera House building, at west Twenty-third street and Eighth avenue. This will be con- vention night and those who were un- able to attend the Baltimore reunion will hear all about it. Unique exhibits are promised and the house committee is preparing a proper welcome for all who come. Visiting florists in the city are cordially invited and also to the bowling at Thumm 's alleys in the after- noon. Mr. and Mrs. C. H, Maynard, of De- troit, and Mr. and Mrs. Meinhardt, of St. Louis, were enjoying the beauties of the great white way all of last week and are still in the city. Miss Mein- hardt, ex-president of the Ladies S. A. F., was a recent arrival from Europe, and her relatives remained over from the convention to welcome her. Arthur T. Boddington reports John B. Orth, of McKeesport, Fa., and E. W. Clark, of New London, Conn., as recent visitors. "William Hunt, of Bodding- ton's, has just completed a successful western trip and leaves next week for his annual vacation in the Adirondacks. G. Van Der Horst, representing C. Keur & Sons, of Hillegom, Holland, is in the city and has established an office at 25 West Broadway. Geo. Stumpp has an interesting story to tell of his European trip with his family. John A. Foley was rejoicing, Septem- ber 1, on the third visit of the stork to his home, this time with a daughter. The lecture on plant life, Saturday, September 2, at the Bronx park mus- eum, was well attended. The hour is 4 p. m. The lectures are of national reputation, and the course will extend every Saturday afternoon until Novem- ber. The fall fairs have begun in earnest. Last week the Dongan Hills show on Staten Island brought out enormous crowds. Several of New York's prominent seedsmen were represented. Saturday, Sunday and Labor day the Sangerbund Association, which in- cludes many of the Long Island florists, began its annual exhibition at Ridge- wood Park, L. I. Marquardt's column of fruits and vegetables was, as usual, the main attraction.

Many of his friends in the New York club were on hand to speed the sweet singer in her engagement for the winter season. J. Austin Shaw. THE YOUNQEST FLORIST. The Review here presents a picture of the youngest working florist, Frank Fillmore the Fourth, of St. Louis, Mo., in his working attire. He was three years old August 13. He was caught in the act by The Review's corre- spondent on a recent visit to the green- houses of the boy's grandfather. Is some precise reader prepared to prove that Frank is not really the youngest in the trade f Well, he is at least among the youngest, and it is certain that no one can beat his record by more than a year or two. There are four generations of Franks in the Fillmore family. The great- grandfather is 86 years old, a well known florist, still hale and hearty. The grandfather's age is 62 and, like his father, he is likely to live till he reaches the hundreds. Then cohies the boy's father, aged 30; he, like his father and grandfather, is hard to beat in a day's work about the green- houses. And the youngest Frank — does not the portrait give pretty good prom- ise that he will follow in the footsteps of the three Franks before him? Forest City, la.— The Hill City Green- houses, owned by Willard Secor, have opened a retail store on Payne avenue, in St. Paul. The greenhouses have been practically rebuilt and much enlarged during the last two years. Tuxedo, N. Y. — George Stewart re- ports excellent business, with bright prospects for a good fall. Stock is in fine shape. F. Bentley is doing ex- tensive landscape work, with plenty of work ahead for some time. Tom Mur- ray, superintendent on the Pierre Loril- lard- estate, is planning extensive im- provements during the fall. ^ Septkmbek 7, 1911. The Weiily Florists' Review. 21 READERS ARE INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE ITEMS FOR THiS DEPARTMENT. Fishkill, N. Y. — Miss Young, manager of Spy Hill (Conservatories, is taking a well-earned vacation. Troy, Ala. — Mrs. Fannie Starke is building a large addition to her green- houses. The new space will be used for carnations. Baraboo, Wis. — William Peck, pro- prietor of the City Greenhouses, was run over by cars at Neenah, August 26, and killed. He was recently married. Wallingford, Conn.— Kowden & Mit- chell have completed^ a new range of handsome appearance, with a front wall of cobblestones set in concrete. Their stock is in first-class shape. Eockville, Conn. — Theo. Staudt has been rebuilding with material supplied by the Lord & Burnham Co. and will have a complete range by the end of summer. The next move will be the erection of a store upon land recently purchased. Tampa, Fla. — Mrs. Knull, wife of F. A. Knull, of the Knull Floral Co., has been visiting her parents at the green- house establishment of William Terrell & Son, Warsaw, Ind. Though the weather here, Mr. Knull states, was warm for a time, th^ heat was not so severe as in the nrfrth, as the highest t^peratures here were from 86 to 92 degrees. Champaign, 111. — The greenhouses of Thos. Franks & Son recently had the unique distinction of being the scene of a wedding. The Miller-Newton wed- ding ceremony was performed in the palm house, with an embankment of ferns and palms as a background, two large plants placed on pedestals to form an altar, and baskets filled with choice ferns hanging overhead. Fall River, Mass. — Chatterton War- burton has a sport from Maryland which he believes will make good. He has seen others, but says this is entirely distinct. He has Mrs. Aaron Ward in fine condition and finds a ready sale at $1 per dozen for first crop buds. A new house, 12x90, is being built for ferns. A wreath of orchids is not an unusual order at his up-to-date store. Homell, N. Y.— The Wettlin Floral Co. has a large stock of asparagus, cyclamens and primroses, the demand for which increases each season. The new double marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander, is an acquisition; it will prove valu- able for design work. Mr. Wettlin re- cently paid a visit to an old employee, Paul M. 01m, of Bath, Me., and was surprised at the vigorous growth there of stock generally, which he attributed to the damp air and suitable soil. Mr. 01m is doing well. Maiden, Mass. — Burgess & Cooney are building another greenhouse, about 30x100. Whitman, Mass. — A. A. Keed has heeu making extensive improvements at his greenhouses on West street. Ishpeming, Mich. — Trebilcock Bros, liave started work on new houses that will largely increase their facilities. Alvin, Tex. — H. M. Farrell, a grower of cut flowers, tuberoses and citrus stock, reports that he is selling his business and will retire from the trade. Danvers, Mass. — A. A. Kackliff, at 12 Lawrence street, who began the culture of dahlias a few years ago for the sake of the outdoor recreation and for the benefit of his health, has developed a business of some commercial impor- tance, though he still conducts the en- terprise chiefly for pleasure rather than profit. Utica, N. Y.— C. F. Baker & Son, 59 to 61 Cornelia street, are erectin^j; two iron-frame greenhouses, furnished by the King Construction Co. The busi- ness has outgrown the capacity of the present houses, which were built thirty years ago. The new houses are each 28x100, with an extension fronting on Cornelia street, which will be used as a show office. Portland, Conn. — Otto Keser says he never felt so dry in his life, or rather never experienced so dry a time as this summer, when so much stock had to be left to the mercy of the weather. His carnations looked good, but his asters, as elsewhere outside, were almost a failure. His cannas are good; King Humbert is the most popular variety in the Connecticut valley. Whitemarsh, Md. — The fifth annual dahlia and flower show at the green- houses of R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. will be held September 26 to 29, in con- nection with the harvest home festival of Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal church. The meeting of the Maryland State Horticultural Society will occur on the first day. Among the features of the show will be forty acres of dahlias and ten acres of cannas. Ashtabula, O. — Gallup Bros., the vegetable growers, have purchased thirteen acres of ground just east of the Sanborn road, in Saybrook town- ship, and are planning to begin the erection of a range of greenhouses there next summer. Edward P. Gallup, who will bo the manager at the new houses, will also erect a residence on the Sanborn road and will occupy it, with his family. It is understood that the price paid for the new property was about $300 per acre. Waltham, Mass. — The Kidder green- houses, on Worcester lane, have been purchased by Harvey Whittemore, son of Henry Whittemore, former superin- tendent of schools in this city. It is understood that Mr. Whittemore will improve the property and engage ex- tensively in the florists' business. Great Barrington, Mass. — William Hail Walker, the owner of the famous Brookside estate, is planning to add a great many improvements, including the building of an Italian garden that will cost, it is said, about $50,000. The plans for the garden were drawn by Fernicio Vitale, of New York city, who makes a specialty of such work. Herington, Kan. — J. A. Gordon, pro- prietor of the Herington Greenhouses, has been notified to vacate when his lease expires February 1, 1912. Mr. Gordon has interested other business men here, however, and the money has been raised to build two new houses near the business district, these houses to be ready before the present lease expires. Watseka, 111.— M. E. Wyatt^ who has been employed for several years at the Wyatt greenhouses, has purchased the entire establishment from his aunt, Mrs. S. M. Wyatt, who has managed the business since the death of her hugband a year ago. The young man proposes to make such improvements in the place as will put it in first-class condition. Terre Haute, Ind. — The Terre Haute Florists' Club held its first annual out- ing August 29, at Forest park. The participants numbered more than fifty and included both employers and em- ployees. The firms represented were: John G. Heinl & Son, N. B. & C. E. Stover, Cowan Bros. & Co., Fred Wun- ker & Sons, Terre Haute Eose & Car- nation Co., Henry Graham, Harry Rich- mond, Saenger Bros., and Thomas Stevenson, the new owner of the Otto Heinl place. Sheridan, Wyo. — The Sheridan Green- house Co., recently organized, has pur- chased a half-acre tract on Beaver street, near Pioneer park, and will\erect greenhouses there, beginning with] house, 25x150, besides a propas room, an office and other buiu Carnations and potted plants only will be handled the first year. It is the in- tention that additional ground shall bo secured later, to be used for the grow- ing of nursery stock. The members of this firm are H. A. Loucks and S. L. Caple. For the last two years Mr. Caple has been associated with Mr. Loucks in the Sheridan Music & Floral Co. Mr. Loucks will manage the affairs of the new company. - *« ri^^:'. 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review* September 7, Wll. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW 6. L. GRANT, Editor and Manaokb.

Arecas have had a notable rise in pop- ularity coincident with the decline of the latania. The jobbers are stocked up with plant tubs, manufacturers having made such tempting prices last spring that many jieople overbought. Who can explain the ups and downs of trade? July generally was busier than florists ever before had known the month to be, but August was not up to last year. The hardy ferns in New England have suffered considerably this season becuise of the long spell of hot, dry weather. It has burned them on many a hillside. Dahlias in New England are proving a disappointment to many, because of the long, dry, hot season, and it has been neces.sary to abandon some of the local shows. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. Such display of color as Dreer and Michell recently have been making at their trial grounds beside the Pennsyl- vania railroad must do great good in fix- ing the names of the concerns in the minds of the people who ride in the trains. Never a week passes but The Review receives inquiries that are neither dated nor signed. Every legitimate inquiry is answered, but no attention is paid when the writer cannot be identified. This ap- plies to A. II., Jax., Ela., who uses a postal card, and to "A New Subscrib- er," who asks about wood ashes. The NationaL'Council of Horticulture has discontinued supplying articles to the daily and weekly newspapers and the newspaper syndicates. Last year the American Seed Trade Association was the only one of the national organizations to contribute to the fund for the work, so this season no appropriations were asked. "Why is it so many florists send out business letters on 'any old kind' of paper? Don't they know that retail prices usually are charged to those whose letters do not give evidence of connection with the trade?" The speaker was one of New York's leading seedsmen. Printed letter-heads are so inexpensive no florist should go a day longer without them. The long, heavy, steady rain that was general through the east last week re- lieved the drought conditions that had prevailed for a long time and which were menacing many lines of business. While the downpour interrupted such trade as was doing at the moment, it was of great value to florists, replen- ishing many a failing water supply and putting fresh life into trade. CHICAaO. The Great Central Market. Apparently the ebb tide in the mar- ket did not come until August 31, for some of the wholesale houses reported it not only the lightest day of the month and the summer, but also the dullest day in the last two or three • years. With the arrival of September there was a change for the better and both Friday and Saturday made fair records. Monday also, although it was Labor day, a holiday that does abso- lutely nothing for florists except to give the opportunity for a half day's rest, brought a fair number of ship- ping orders, so that the consensus of opinion is that there will now be steady progress toward good business. It is noteworthy, however, that for several weeks the demand, such as there was, has been most unsteady. Monday would hold out hopes of better business, but sales would dwindle through Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday, with a spurt of shipping again on Friday and a fair city demand Saturday morning, with little doing Sunday. This condi- tion may continue. A decrease in supplies, particularly of gladioli and short roses, has as yet had no marked effect on the demand for other stock. While some of the big cuts of short roses have passed, there still are enough to go around, with oth- er growers just beginning to cut. Of the longer roses there are so many, in proportion to the call, that even the best sell below their usual values at this date. One hardly could ask finer Killarney, White Killarney, Maryland or Richmond for the beginning of the season. Other varieties, though offered in less quantity, also are good. Fine Beauties also are plentiful. The aster glut shows signs of pass- ing. It has lasted longer and been worse than usual this summer, though the asters were late in coming in. Fine stock has sold cheaper than ever before. The flowers now arriving in large quantity are about the best of the season. Gladioli have ceased to be much of a factor. The new crop of carnations is com- ing on in fine shape. Already the sup- ply is quite large and the stock is un- usually good, stems being of excellent length. Easter lilies are no longer a, glut, though there are as many ^s can be sold. Auratum is done. Tuberoses have been added to the list. Cattleyas continue scarce. There is plenty of valley for the small demand. A few sweet peas are seen, but there is /no special call for them; they deserve a rest for a few weeks, for the winter supply will break all records if all goes well. Golden Glow chrysanthe- mums are seen of widely varying qual- it}\ Some are commanding $3 per dozen in small lots, while others are scarcely salable at any price. The green goods market is quiet; enough of everything to take care of the demand. Wild smilax can be had on a few days' notice, but is not yet carried in stock. The Luzemberger Schobermesse. The big event of the early autumn at Rogers Park is the annual Luxem- berger Schobermesse, which this year broke all records. It is held on Labor day and the Sunday preceding, and with perfect weather, the crowds were if ■■'■■■K. ■■-■■' Skptember 7, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review. 23 HERE YOU CAN GET Fine Quality— All Lengths-Any Quantity Our present cut of Beauties is large and fine— the quantity is so good that we can fill the largest orders at a moment's notice. Really no limit to our supply- Most of the cut runs to medium and long stems. Large heads, splendid color, strong stems, perfect foliage. Those who are looking for a thoroughly satisfactory supply of Beauties should get acquainted here. Fancy Asters The late Asters are extra good and our supply continues large. We urge all buyers, who can use good Asters in quantity to give this stock a trial. The supply will last as long as weather conditions continue favor- able for plants in the open— and the tjuality, you will pay, is above any other Asters of the year. At the same time market conditions* are such that prices are moderate— really low in comparison to ihe quality of the stock. KILLARNEYS PINK OR WHITE-LARGE SUPPLY. We are furnishing buyers all the Killarneys they need, in amy length up to 18 to 24 inches. The color of the pink is something wonderful- better than it is in winter. These roses are business- builders. Once tried, you will use no others. Fancy Valley You will need Valley every day, now that the season is opening again. We ALWAYS can supply, but wny not place a standing order, for ship- ment (with the other stock you need) every day, every other day, or twice a week ? Carnations The new crop of indoor Carna- tions is on. Nice, clean flowers and stems lengthening every day. Lilies "We can supply all the Easter Lilies jou can use. Try us any day in the year.

DAHLIAS QUALITY IS FIRST CONSIDERATION Our growers are producing only the best varieties for cut flower purposes. Dahlias have made a place for themselves as a cut flower, and you cannot afford to ignore them. The best proof is the increased demand each season. When you buy our Dahlias, you have the satisfaction of getting the best you can buy. To prove what we say, try a sample shipment. The quality and value will be a surprise to you, and every flower will be in perfect condition. Early Orders Direct from the Farms Look for our classified adv. of Field Grown Carnation Plants.

The phenomenal rainfall which ended with the close of August played an im- portant part in the cut flower market, shortening indoor and temporarily dam- aging outdoor crops. Both are now re- covering, but the effect of this flood was felt until Labor day was past. Asters are in tremendous oversupply. It is a pity that so much fine stock comes at once, for it does not bring proper returns. The poor asters fare worse. Eoses shortened sharply during the storm; good pink were scarcer than white. There was no actual advance in prices, except on shorts, but the aver- age price was decidedly better. A few more carnations are coming in; some good red were seen with moderate stems, in addition to the white and pink. Easter lilies continue prominent; really good stock is in pretty active demand. The first cattleyas have ap- peared; they brought an astonishing price — see ^ist. Dahlias are coming into season. Another week will give us longer stems in all colors. Cosmos has come. The midsummer market has been equal to last year — perhaps a lit- tle more than equal. July was better, August not so good. Considered to- gether, they are satisfactory to most of the wholesalers.

Phil. DETROIT. The Market. The month of August was no excep- t'ion to the rule of other years, busi- ess being quiet. Stock of nearly every . description is overplentiful at the com- mission houses. The exception to the above is roses, which have been rather a scarce article, more especially in the better grades. Carnations are improv- ing daily, stems getting longer and flowers of better size. Asters are good, but a glut on the market at present. Even the good blooms are not selling as well as might be wished by the . growers. The gladiolus is another flower which has been more or less of a glut all season. Various Notes. R. H.

Fred Pautke, of Grosse Pointe, has as fine a lot of mum plants as one would wish to see. His stock is in ex- cellent condition. Mr. Pautke has an eye to business. Before deciding on what to grow for another season he posts himself on what the other large growers are doing and then selects such varieties as he thinks will be scarce. He also knows what are the favorites of some large retailers and plants accordingly. John Davidson, at Mrs. Helen New- berry's place in Grosse Pointe, will have a fine lot of mums this fall. His stock suffered just a little from mil- dew last week, but not enough to af- fect the blooms.

The first few days of September showed a little activity among the flo- rists, but things are not at all steady as yet, and funeral work is still the bulk of the business done by the re- tailers. The growers at Kirkwood, Olivette, Clayton and other local points are kept busy putting things in shape for the fall and winter season. The receipts at the wholesale mar- kets have been heavy, the bulk of the consignments being outside stock. Pink and white Cochets have been com- ing in heavily, with some of extra fine quality. Cuts from the young plants of Killarney, Richmond and Maryland are looking well and meet with a good demand. There are also a great many Beauties coming to this market, and carnations are showing fairly well as to flower, but have short stems.

A Field of Lettuce on the Farm of the Kimbertin Seed G>., Santa Clata, CaL Seed Trade News. AMIBICiJI SIBD TBADS ASSOCIATION. Pres., Leonard H. Yaughan, Chicago; First Vlce- Pre«., M. H. Duryea, New York Olty; Sec'j and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, 0. LoECHNER & Co., New York, received sixteen cases of bulbs on the steamer from Bremen that docked August 29. On the steamer from Copenhagen that reached New York August 29 there were 1,318 bags of seeds consigned to order. Flower seed crops in England are re- ported as being specially good quality this year, the warm, bright weather ripen- ing the seeds perfectly. Darwin tulips are expected to be ni specially good demand this season, and many of the autumn catalogues give them greater prominence than heretofore. Arthur L. Deal, representing W. W. Johnson & Son, Ltd., Boston, England, and son of E. J. Deal, general manager of that concern, was at Chicago this week. The French bulbs thaj were shipped via Genoa have at len^h aU goti in. The Duca d 'Aosta, which docked at New York August 30, brought only two cases, con- signed to order. The Roswell Seed Co., Albuquerque, N. M., has started work on a new packing shed with side-track facilities. The com- pany is a heavy buyer of fruit on the trees and does its own packing. Onion sets are considerably better in quality than last year, according to Knud Gundestrup, of the Kirkeby & Gundes- 'feup Seed Co., Chicago. The yield being smaller than last year, the demand is good. i"^ ■ ^fi- C. E. Kendel, secretary of the Ameri- can Seed Trade Association, has issued the stenographic record of the twenty- ninth annual convention, held at Mar- blehead, Mass., last June. The McMillan Seed Co, Atlanta, Ga., lias removed to larger quarters at 27 South Broad street. J. C. McMillan, Jr., has recently returned from a visit to California seed growers. The business was established by his father in 1877. The 1911 crop of Harrisii is about all in. The boat from Bermuda that reached New York August 28 brought only nine- teen cases of bulbs: eight consigned to L. D. Crossmond & Co., four for Henry & Lee and seven for Ralph M. Ward & Co. There has been great heat in all the European seed growing districts, but particularly in Germany, France and England, for many weeks of the summer, but this has recently been succeeded by reasonable temperatures, according to cable reports. The leading paper at Macon, Ga., re- cently printed a half-page illustrated write-up of the Georgia Seed Store, owned by Joe Flournoy, grocer, and managed by H. W. Cameron. The first catalogue will be issued January 1 and a bid made for mjul-order business. The customs officials are not satisfied with certain recent decisions of the Board of General Appraisers as to the duty on celery seed, and the Treasury Department has instructed the Assistant Attorney General to appeal the case of the classification of celery seed under the tariff act to the Customs Court. Duty upon celery seed has been assessed at the rate of 10 cents per pound under para- graph 266. The Board of General Ap- praisers decided that celery seed should be permitted to come in free of duty under paragraph 559 as a crude drug. The seed growers in Europe, after several cold, wet seasons, have had one of the hottest and driest on record. Dis- astrous as were the former, the reverse has proved worse. California, in spite of the poor crop of sweet pea seed this year, is supplying a constantly increasing part of the world's requirements. The exports run far into the tons. Bulb growing in Holland is increasing steadily. There were in 1904 about 8,067 acres devoted to bulb growing. This area reached to over 11,375 acres in 1910, while the total export amounted to over 16,966 tons weight, according to statis- tics of the Holland Department of Agri- culture. A combination of a number of the largest growers of potatoes in Aroostook county, Maine, has been formed under the title of Aroostook Potato Growers' Association. The object is to pool the product for economy in handling and marketing, as well as buying fertilizers and supplies. The association is in the form of a stock company, capitalized at $100,000, of which L. E. Tuttle, of Bridgewater, is president and Guy C. Porter secretary. SEED CKOPS IN CALIFORNIA. The accompanying illustrations show the onion and lettuce crops of the pres- ent season on the. Milpitas farm of the Kimberlin Seed Co., Santa Clara, Cal. The mountains in the background be- long to that part of the Coast range that borders the Santa Clara valley on the east. As will be noted, the foot- hills of the mountains are cultivated to a considerable elevation, but only the valley lands are used for seed crops.

The seed heads of the onion have to be handled carefully, to avoid losing the seed. The man grasps the head with one hand and cuts the stem with the other. As the heads do. not all ripen at one time, two or more pickings are necessary. In the case of lettuce the whole plants are cut and these are stacked together on large sheets of canvas, where they are permitted to dry until ready for threshing. These finer seeds are threshed out on the sheets with the flail. Though no rain falls during the sum- mer months, there is no irrigation of the seed fields, but thorough cultiva- tion is employed to hold the moisture from the winter rains until the crop is made. In preparing the ground, if the soil lumps any after plowing and harrowing, the roller is used and one large grower has rollers so designed that they follow the cultivator between the rows in later operations. This ex- tra fining of the soU he finds makes two cultivations equal in effectiveness to three without the roller attachment. In plowing these large areas steam tractors are used, turning six or eight furrows at a time. At the same time the large amount of hand work later required makes the work more like gardening than farming. In the old days of long credits one of the growers spoke of onion as a three-year crop. "One year you plant the seed, the next year you plant the bulbs, and the third year you get some money — maybe,'' was the way he put it. 1 POSITION OF DISCLAIMER. Must be Brought Within Letter. Acting as a result of an item in the Seed Trade Department of The Eeview, a committee of the American Seed Trade Association, aften an investiga- tion of court decisions, has sent out a report to the effect that, to have legal standing as a part of the contract, the seed trade disclaimer should be printed on the letter-head between the date line and signature, or else there should be within the body of the letter a direct reference to the disclaimer if printed elsewhere on the letter-head. The com- mittee recommends the latter course as having certain advantages over the former. History of the Case. The attention of the trade was first called to the matter by a note in The Review for July 28, 1910, as follows: An attorney whose Bpeclalty is commercial law states that no part of what may be printed on a letter-head Is a part of the contract unless U be between the date line and the signature, except a reference ap- pears between those parts to practically brlngr the outside words within the body of the letter Itself. This would apply to the non-warranty clause as printed on most seedsmen's stationery. This was the subject of consider- able discussion among the trade and many letters reached The Eeview, from seedsmen who wanted further inrorma- tion. These were advised that the note was based, among other things, on a decision of the Supreme Court of Illi- nois in which it was held that "printed matter in a letter-head forms no part of the letter written on the sheet, and will not qualify an absolute contract which results from an acceptance of an offer by such letter. ' ' See 153 111., 102. As a result some of the trade printed stationery on which the disclaimer ap- pears just below where the typewriter puts the words "Dear Sirs." President Page, in his annual ad- dress to the American Seed Trade As- sociation at the Marblehead convention in June, 1911, referred to the import- ance of this point and there was general discussion of it, with the result that a committee (consisting of Curtis Nye Smith, attorney for the association; Kirby B. White, of D. M. Ferry & Co., and S. F. Leonard, of Leonard Seed Co., was appointed to consider and re- port. Secretary Kendel now has mailed the committee's report to each member of the association. It is dated August 11, 1911, and is as follows: The Committee's Beport. To the President and Members of the American Seed Trade Association: At the last annual convention of your SEED LAWS Compilation of Purity and Gennination re- quired, and Weed Seed prohibited in United States and Canada.

We beg to isubmit our report as fol- lows: From information received, we under- stand that the question arose from a de- cision of the Supreme Court of Illinois found in the case of Summers vs. Hib- bard, 153 111., 102, and wo briefly note the facts of that case. Hibbard made Summers an offer to buy certain sheet iron. Summers gave ;iii unqualified ac- • eptanco of said oflTor on their station- ery, which carried on the top of the sheet above the date lino, firm's name, etc., in small printed typo the clause, "All sales subject to strikes and acci- dents." Summers failed to deliver and set up as a defenso this clause, claim- ing it as a term of the contract. The court held that the written terms of the contract were absolute, definite and conclusive and that the printed clause was antagonistic to the written terms and must therefore be discarded. In the later Illinois case of Anaconda Copper Mining Co. vs. Houston, 107 III. App. 183. there was a printed clause at the top of the stationery and above the date- line, etc., preceded, however, with shipping instructions in typewrit- ing.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 41 LILIUM HARRISII (THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY) LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON "We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price. The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow- ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted no fresh manure is used; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to this, we (U not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured* When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed of we shall have no more to offer. Wiiile the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those 'who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptionad facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbi, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000 FERNS We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties— good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots and are thoroughly well established and nicely finished.

The court reviewed the Summers case, explaining the difference in facts of the two cases. "It is also suggested that there would be no dispute if in the typewritten part of the letter a di- rect reference to the printed clause was made;" and the court gives this dic- tum: "We are inclined to the opinion that without some such reference a printed condition should not be considered a part of the written contract where an absolute order is given in writing and accepted by the other party." We have also considered other Illinois cases and there appears no divergence from the law as above stated: Ameri- can Express Co. vs. Pinckney, 24 111. 392; People vs. Dulaney, 96 111. 503; Michaelis vs. Wolf, 136 111. 68; Peek vs. Scoville, 43 111. App. 362; Langdale vs. Illinois, 100 111. 263; Loveless vs. Thomas, 152 111. 479, 482; Chicago vs. Weir, 165 111. 582; Bennett vs. Giles, 111 HI. App. 428. Therefore, answering the query above propounded, so far as the decisions of Illinois are concerned, we are of tlie opinion that the seedsman can print his disclaimer clause at the top, or at the bottom, or on the reverse side of the letter sheet, upon which he is mak- ing his contract of sale, and have same an effective condition of his contract, PROVIDED in the written part of his let- ter direct reference to such clause as a part of the contract is made, as, for example, "Subject to the above (or be- low, etc.) printed conditions we offer (or accept), etc." We suggest that this method of plac- ing the disclaimer clause at the top or bottom of the letter sheet, with direct reference thereto in the body of the typewritten letter, has an advantage over printing the clause between the date line and signature, inasmuch as not all correspondence of seedsmen constitutes offers or acceptance of prices or terms of sales, and the direct ref- erence above advised distinctly comes within the ruling of the Anaconda case, above cited, and many other de- cisions, and will avoid the possibly un- favorable judicial determination that the printed clause is antagonistic to the written terms and so void. And as to the law in states other than Illinois, our investigations indi- cate that most courts sustain, while some courts do not establish the Illi- nois doctrine of exclusion of printed clauses outside of the date line and signature, unless referred to in the body of the letter, on the well known theory that a document must be read by its "four" or "eight corners." Yet we maintain our opinion above expressed and for these reasons: PRIMUyi^ UnrlTaled for size of flower, purity of color anfl biffnefltaevelopment.

The courts might decide, un- der the facts of the particular case (as in the Summers case), that the printed disclaimer clause was not con- templated by the parties as a condi- tion of the contract. Second. Even if the courts held that the printed clause was a condition of the contract, yet it may be decided that the printed clause was antagonis- tic to the written terms and so void under a well established rule of law, because the written words propose to sell certain seeds carrying an implied warranty as true to type, etc., while the printed clause expressly robs the written words of any such force. Of course, all this is obviated by the di- rect reference in the written agree- ment to the printed clause. FOR s E E D S of all kinds apply to w. \ Mf. JOHNSON & SON, Ltd. BOSTON, KITGLAND Mention The Review when you write. Therefore we conclude by suggest- ing that the use of the disclaimer clause as above advised provides great- er security to the seedsman and it cer- tainly seems more frank and better business for the seedsman to state his conditions in the direct, unambiguous and not at all difficult manner sug- gested.

We can make immediate delivery of the varie- ties marked with a star (*), the balance we are expecting from our grower in California at any time. Our ad- vice to intending planters is to order early. Our stocks of Christmas-Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the largest growers of this increas- ingly popular flower, as to the trueness and quality of our seed, earliness of blooming period, and strength and habit of plants. The following varieties are the "best by test" and include Zvolanek's and our own intro- ductions, grown for seed from selected stocks by the leading California Growers and Special- ists of Sweet Peas. Our output last year was nearly 6000 lbs. No kicks and plenty of testimon- ials as to quality, germination and trueness to type. At the Exhibition and Con- vention of the National Sweet Pea Society of America, July 12th and 13th, 1910, we again won the C. C.

I have lost fully forty p^r cent) of ray asters, mostly from the effects of a black or Jjrown streak running from the ground halfway up the main stem. This has developed about tiW' time the flowers began to open. I use old cow manure, applied in the fall and turned over at that time, and I kept the soil well cultivated and watered.

YOU Will find all the best offers all the time in the Re- view's Classified Advs. When your competitor cuts prices below the living line,- you had better raise yours and give valua for the money, because it won't be long before you will require a larger capital to supply your competitor's trade. It's a good deal easier to get a fish hook in than it is to get it out, and so it's easier to reduce prices than it is to raise them, in regard to flowers. You will always find the low priced man flourishing while the prices last, but when circumstances compel him to raise them, and eventually he must, his trade will find their way to the other fellow, just as sure as the Hollanders come in the spring. Away down deep in the American- buyer's heart there is a sneaking dislike for a cut-priced man and a wholesome respect for the man they can't saw down in price. The rea- son is because a buyer never knows when he touches bottom in dealing with a cut-priced man, and he is always afraid his neighbor is getting the same goods for less money. He is willing to pay as much but don't wish to pay more. No argument can down the fact that the man who maintains a decent price and delivers an article accordingly, is bound to win out in the long run. Horseshoe Brand Bulbs are marketed at a profit — principally because we are not philanthropists as yet — but the profit is not larger in the aggregate than it should be, and not nearly as large in proportion to the investment as the grower makes. They are marketed on their merits and not on the price, and they have generally been found to be worth all and more than they cost. If you want really good bulbs — try them. RALPH N.

Perennial Seed*. A large variety for immediate sowing. The Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesviye, 0. rot. The presence of this blight is first indicated by the normal color of the stem turning a dull, yellowish green near the ground. This soon runs the whole length of the plant on one side. While one half of the plant appears green and perfectly naturial, the remaining half has a wilted and faded appearance in . the smaller leaves, becoming weaker and poorer near the ground. This stem-rot is caused by a fungous growth in the pores through which the water passes. This fungus plugs up the openings and prevents the passage of any water or sap through the stem. The plants finally die from lack of water and I food. ' GLADIOLI LE. Stewart S Rives Junction, Mich. MenOon The Review when voq write Usually stem-rot is believed to be developed in the seed beds and out- door raised seedlings are usually im- mune. Overcrowding while growing is a fertile cause of this rot. Select fresh ground if possible each year. Your preparation of the ground is all right. C. W.

''Practically all of the European ]iower8 have very stringent plant- inspection laws, and, in the case of the United States, absolutely prohibit the entry of nursery stock. Apples and other American fruits are admitted only when the most rigid examination shows freedom from insect infestation. Canada and other important British possessions have similar protective leg- islation. "The United States is the only great power without protection from the im- portation of insect-infested or diseased plants, and thus becomes a sort of dumping ground for European refuse nursery and ornamental stock. This does not often apply to the importa- tions of the larger and reputable im- porting firms, but does apply to the poorly-packed miscellaneous ornamen- tal and other stock imported by de- partment stores of large cities or that sent to this country to be sold under the hammer by auctioneers for what- ever price may be obtained. ' ' The immediate danger which led to the recent effort to secure legisla- tion was the discovery in 1909 or the abundant importation and wide dis- tribution into the United States of nursery stock infested with brown-tail moth nests and occasional egg masses of the gipsy moth. During the years 1909 and 1910 such infested stock was carried into twenty-two states, cover- ing the country from the Atlantic sea- board to the Rocky mountains. Dur- ing the first of these years no less than 7,000 winter nests of the brown-tail moth, containing approximately 3,000,- Giant Naximmn Daisies Hardiest, most productive and best of all the SbBsta type.

BENNETT ROBBINSVILLE, NEW JERSEY Mention The fieview when you write. 000 larvae, were found in shipments into New York state alone — seed ma- terial enough to infest the whole United States within a few years. "More than half of the important insect enemies and plant diseases now established in tbjs country have been brought in on imported nursery stock, and new insect enemies and new dis- eases are being thus introduced every year. Twenty different insect pests, new to this country, some of them very formidable in the Old World, have been intercepted in the inspections of the imported material by this depart- ment this year, and this does not in- clude the introduction of bfrown-tail moth nests and other European pests with imported seedling stock. "A properly enforced quarantine and inspection law in the past would have excluded many, if not most, of the foreign insect enemies and plant dis- eases which are now levying an enor- mous annual tax amounting to several hundred million dollars on the products of the farms and orchards of this country. "In spite of the many pests which have already gained foothold and the control of which will be a permanent annual charge on production, there re- main many other insect pests and plant diseases with equal capacity for harm which, fortunately, have not yet come to us, and it is to protect from these new dangers that legislation is now sought, not with the intention of pro- hibiting the trade in imported stock, but to throw such safeguards around it as will most protect both the im- porters and the subsequent purchasems of such stock. "The insect pests and plant diseases that have come in are probably here for all time, but certainly no reason- able objection can be made to the ef- fort to safeguard the future. The con- scientious importer will be benefited, and the home producers, the dealers, and all the, great fruit and forest in- terests will be protected by suitable in- spection and quarantine legislation. "The San Jose scale had become es- tablished in California on stock intro- duced from China about 1870, and was known to be one of the most serious of orchard pests. With proper supervision and quarantine it undoubtedly could have been limited to the Pacific coast indefinitely. A quite unimportant im- portation of stock from California by a prominent Missouri nurseryman in the early nineties established this scale in several eastern nurseries, and this led to the first concerted effort to ob- tain a national quarantine and inspec- tion law. The failure to reach an agreement among the nurserymen, fruit growers and entomologists as to suit- able legislation prevented anything coming from this effort, although sev- eral bills were introduced in Congress from time to time. In the meanwhile the San Jose scale became so widely distributed by transportation on nur- sery stock that quarantine against this insect was no longer practicable, and the country is now being taxed, and probably will be for all time, many million dollars annually, because there was no law under which strong hold could have been taken of this danger at the outset. "As elsewhere noted, the recent ef- fort to secure legislation followed the entry and wide distribution in this country of br«wn-tail mot^* nests' on nursery stock, chiefly from northern France. The discovery, about the same time, of the entry of the potato wart disease, from Newfoundland, and the white-pine blister rust, chiefly from one district in Germany, greatly em- phasized the immediate need for Fed- eral control. "In view of these special dangers, a new bill was drafted and submitted to Congress. This measure passed, the House, and would undoubtedly have become a law in due course except for [OontlDued on pase 84.] 100,000 Asparagus Plumosus Nanus Seedlings placed in our hands by one of our growers to sell.

Japanese lilies are in good demand, but owing to the continued cool weather they do not open as fast as they should and the retailers complain that it is difficult to handle them to advantage. Dahlias, gladioli and other similar stock do not touch the popular fancy and are not netting the growers much money. Valley is scarce and is not produced in quantity over the daily demand. Orchids are plentiful and are selling about as usual. There is a scarcity of smilax, but other greens are about the same as they have been for several months. Various Notes.

[Concluded from page 62.] the objection made to it by the legis- lative committee of the National Asso- ciation of Nurserymen. This commit- tee expressed itself as recognizing the need of legislation, but desired certain changes made in the proposed bill, and in response to their request the bill was withdrawn for conference and amend- ment. The principal objection of the nurserymen had been to the examina- tion of the imported stock at port of entry. This objection was met by pro- viding for such examination at the point of destination, on the premises of the importer. A number of other changes were also made at the instance of the nurserymen, including all the impor- tant ones asked for except the elimina- tion of the power of establishing for- eign quarantine against particular plants to keep out diseases or insect pests which could not otherwise be ex- cluded. This provision was aimed par- ticularly at such dangers as the potato wart disease and the white-pine blistcv rust, which no inspection or disinfec tion would reach, and would seldom, if ever, apply to the regular import trade of seedling nursery stock, and, if the bill was to have any real value, this power could not be omitted. "The bill, as thus amended, was in- troduced during the second session of the Sixty-first Congress, and was fa- vorably reported from the Agricultural Committee of the House on January G, 1911. Owing to the legislative condi- tions of the concluding session of this Congress and the low place of this bill on the calendar, to get a consideration of the subject, it was necessary to put the bill on the Unanimous Consent Cal- endar. In this manner the bill came up for consideration February 6, was objected to by a member, and fell back to its regular place. Near the closing days of the session the bill was again brought up on the Unanimous Consent Calendar. No opportunity was possible in the few minutes allowed for debate to present the merits of the measure, and.it failed to secure the necessary two-thirds vote to pass it under sus- pension of the rules. ^_ FIELD-GROWN CARNATIONS WINSOR $4.50 per 100: $40.00 per 1000 lOOO ENCHANTRESS 5.00 per 100; 45.00 per 1000 Strong, thrifty plants.

JACKSON & PERKINS CO., Florists and Nurserymen, Growers and Importers, Newark, N. Y. Mention The Review vben you wrlt«> "The measure now before Congress radically diflfers from the one before the preceding Congress, as will be seen from an examination of the copf of it given below. The chief point of diflfer- enee is that inspection of imported nursery stock is left to the different states instead of being undertaken by the Federal Government. A complete system of notification is provided for, however, both through the requirement of a permit and by subsequent advices to be given by the customs ofl5.ces, the broker or first receiver of the stock, and the common carrier transporting it. The other features of the bill re- main much as before. This bill has been introduced into both House and Senate, and it is expected to come up for consideration next winter at the first regular session of the present Con- gress.

Crisp, cool weather has made a stir in the trade and things are moving at a more rapid pace. Social functions are gradually resuming thiir activity, and weddings are numerous for so early in the season. Trade in general is growing and will soon be back to its usual fall proportions. On the whole, summer trade was heavier this season than last, perhaps due to the several conventions held here during the summer. The fall trade promises to be unusually good, judging from a few early indications. The fall weather has made roses es- pecially good. Lilium auratum is flooding the market and ij selling at a low figure. The quality is good, however, and a few large funerals made these lilies salable. Harrisii lilies are fine and are bringing a good price. There are a number of good varieties of asters on the market, good in quality and firm in stem. Gla- dioli are better than ever; Americas are the most pleasing in color for fu- nerals and are the best sellers. The gladioli with fancy markings, in named varieties, find favor for all oc- casions. Valley is getting larger and firmer, and it, too, shows the effect of the cool weather. It is quite scarce, nevertheless, and the price is high. In garden flowers, gaillardias, heli- anthus, cornflowers, Golden Glow, helio- tropes, hydrangeas, asters and gla- dioli are the most in demand. There is an unusual demand for veUow flow- ers this fall, especially for wedding decorations and for luncheons. It is almost impossible to fill the great de- mand. Flower carnivals have become ex- ceedingly popular in the towns in the vicinity of Eochester. They are of value to the retail trade, by fostering the love of flowers and thus increas- ing the flower business. Various Notes. H. E. Wilson is growing some fine lily of the valley, which finds a ready market, as valley is scarce. W. W. Summey is growing some fine asters in pale lavender and white.

George "Wiegand has returned from a week's auto tour in northern In- diana and Chicago. Sydney Smith has been cutting some good carnations. The florists' picnic, held at the Roepke-Bieman grove, east of the city, was attended by about forty florists and their families. One of the events of the day was the ball game between the ''Wets" and "Drys," headed by Will Roepke and Homer Wiegand. After thirteen innings of strenuous playing, with the score 10 to 10, and the pitchers exhausted, it was decided to play another game in the near fu- ture to decide the championship. One of the features of the game was the batting of Will Smith, a professional ball player secured by Will Hoepke, who fanned out five times. There were numerous events for the children, with suitable prizes provided for the winners. H. L. W. Wabash, Ind. — J. V.

There were many talks on trade topics, but only two papers were read : ' ' The Care of Plants in Parks and Lawns," by J. D. T. Fulmer, and * ' Suggestions on Flo- rists ' Supplies, ' ' by Eoy Wilcox. LOUISVILU:, KY. The Elks' aviation meet, on the heels of which followed the Kentucky state fair, offered the occasion for the Louis- ville florists to primp up by means of novel and attractive windows. The city was thronged with sight-seeing vis- itora, coming: in from all directions, and the competition for recognition was strenuous. Enterprising activity was in evidence throughout the retail dis- tricts, and the florists, though given a good race, easily held their own with beautiful window and store displays. One of the catchiest and most novel window displays was that of C. B. Thompson & Co. A 4-foot operating aeroplane, decorated in Elks' colors, pulled and tugged at invisible wires and appeared as if, at any moment, it might dart out through the glass, the propeller being revolved rapidly with the aid of electric fans. The ground was a bed of green, with white and purple asters forming the letters B. P. O. E., and the back was banked with ferns and palms, from which the rays of a small, powerful searchlight were thrown on the throbbing machine. Many visitors called to compliment Mrs. Thompson upon the work of her window dresser, Miss Nellie B. Able, but Mrs. Thompson is in Michigan at present, on her vacation. P. F. M. Ottawa, m. — Lohr Bros., who are '■ operating the King greenhouses, have ; their stock in good shape and cut the •first carnations of the season Septem- ber 1.

W. H. C. & C. One steam trap will answer for sev- eral boilers, no matter how or where they are connected. In most boilers the only provision for returning the condensed water is through the blow- off outlet. An outlet one and one-half inches in diameter is large enough for a boiler of the size described.

The usual method is to have the plate on the outside of the shell. If the shell is weak, a reinforcing plate would be helpful in strengthening the boiler. CONNECTING TWO BOILERS. "Will you tell me how to connect two boilers as a battery, but so that either one can be used, or both? One boiler has three 3-inch flows and four 3-inch returns; the other has two 4-inch flows and two 4-inch returns. Each is rated for 2,000 feet of radiation. "Would it be satisfactory to put the three 3-inch flows into a 5-inch, put on a valve and lead into a 7-inch drum, doing the same with the two 4-inch flows and taking the mains from these, also following the same plan with the returns! We do our own fitting and should prefer the sim- plest way of doing the work. J. S. The question does not state whether the boilers are to be used for steam or hot water, but, judging from the size of the pipes, it is presumed that hot water is to be used for heating.

To maintain the temperatures named, two fifty horse-power boilers will be required. One boiler of this size would answer in mild weather. In the six houses for which 52 degrees is desired, use one 2-inch flow and six 1%-inch returns. For the 60-degree houses take one 2i/^-inch flow and ten 1%-inch returns, and for 50 to 54 de- grees use one 2V^-inch flow and eight 1^4-ioch returns. IN SOUTHERN GEOKGIA. I wish to inquire about the heating of my new greenhouse, which is just being built. It is 18x85 and five feet four inches to the eaves. It will re- quire a temperature of 60 degrees. How much piping will be needed in it, using a 3-inch flow and 2-inch returns? I also have an old house, 16x128 and four feet to the eaves, which I run at a temperature of 50 degrees, and it is at present heated with one 3-inch flow and six l^^-inch returns, three at each side. Both houses will be heated by one boiler. They run north and south and are three feet apart. J. T. In a house 18x85 feet, with two walls exposed, in the state of Georgia, it Vill be possible to secure a tempera- ture of 60 degrees by using one 3-inch flow pipe and eight 2-inch returns.

Egan has unearthed the follow- ing in a report from the United States consul at Nottingham, England: "A curious, but successful experi- ment is being made on a number of pri- vate lawns in Kent, and is about to be tried by a golf club in the neighbor hood of Greenhithe. The idea is the novel one of substituting the guinea pig for the mowing machine and the weed killer. "Around the lawn is arranged a low wire barrier, and into the inclosure are turned a number of guinea pigs; or better, a passage is made from their hutch to the lawn. The animals at once attack all the worst weeds — the plantains first, then the dandelions and daisies. These broad-leaved plants, which no mowing machine will touch, are killed by the persistent cutting of the guinea pigs' teeth. When they have finished the weeds, which are broad-leaved and succulent, they pro- ceed to the grass. In a short time the lawn looks as if it had been cut by the closest machine. The persistent cutting of the leaves kills the weeds, which can stand almost any other treatment, but does no harm to the grass. ' ' One lawn, formerly af mass of weeds, has been made to grow nothing but the finer grasses. Another is still under process of treatment. The half of it in which the guinea pigs were first set to work has been cut quite evenly and very closely. For golfing it is as fast again as it was under the ad- ministration of the mowing machine, and not a weed is visible. The other half, where the animals have just been turned loose, is a mass of dandelions. "In this neighborhood it has been found that the guinea pigs do not suffer at all by being left to work in winter as well as in summer. Indeed, they are healthier than under the usual treatment of those who keep them as pets. An astonishing demand for the animals has grown up in the neigh- borhood, and if the inland golf clubs, which have great difiBculties with plan- tains, take to the new method the guinea-pig population is likely to go up in the ratio that the natural fe- cundity of the animal suggests."

A few small funerals were hardly noticeable and the long spell of damp, rainy weather kept what few persons are in the city indoors, so that few transient sales were reported. Koses are better, both in supply and quality, and the same is true of asters. A few gladioli, dahlias, Easter lilies and the first of the mums constitute the range of varieties, but there is nothing doing. Prices are nor- mal. Various Notes. Those interested in the formation of the wholesale flower market held an- other meeting August 30, at Narragan- sett hotel, with a good attendance, and completed the organization by the elec- tion of the following board of direct- ors: John A. Macrae, Alexander Mac- r^, Walter S. Nichols, W. Gushing and Frederick Hofifman. A store is to be leased in a few days for headquarters. It is understood that, now that the market is an assured fact, a number of growers have signified their intention of joining. L. Engel, manager of the flower de- partment for L. Dimond & Sons, Inc., reports three times as much business to date this year as during the same period last year. The continuous rain which began on the morning of August 25 and ceased on the morning of September 1 was gladly welcomed by the florists, as wells and water supplies were get- ting dangerously low. T. J. Johnston & Co., on Weybosset street, are showing the first chrysan- themums of the season. They are the Golden Glow and stand up well. Miss Minna Williams, daughter of O. H. Williams, for whom she is book- keeper, is on her vacation at Newport. Some excitement was occasioned one day last week in the retail store of Johnston Bros., of Dorrance street, when a defective electric wire caused an explosion and flash in the big elec- tric cash register. No damage was done. O. H. Williams was one of the guests at the special dinners given to the office-holders of the town of Johnston at the Pomham club, August 31. W. H. M. S.

FLORIST...... i LETTEBINO ON DESIGNS. In The Review of September 7 there appeared an illustration of a funeral wreath by the Quakertown Plant Co., Quakertown, Pa., showing how letter- ing should not be done, except where the florist's customer insists on it. Here is another illustration reproduced from a photograph of the work of the Quakertown florist, showing how a long and cumbersome inscription may be handled to good effect, even though the design to which it is attached be neither large nor expensive. In this in- stance the fellow employees of the de- ceased took up a collection, raising a not large sum, for which they natur- ally wanted to make the best possible showing. The draping of the deceased mill operative's chair was the order and the inscription called for was "Sympathy of Quakertown Silk Mill Employees." Six words, some of them long, presented quite a problem for the florist, but by putting them on two streamers of the ribbon bow, doubling up 80 that in reality the inscription made four lines, the entire inscription was kept in view, while at the same time it did not seem badly out of pro- portion to the size of the design. PHOTOGBAFHS AND DRAWINGS. As Aids in MaUng Sales. For aid in displaying flowers and plants and in stimulating customers to see what your descriptions mean, there are numerous helps which can be bought, made or practiced. There should be two places in the store where cards or notes can be written — one where miscellaneous trade can be taken care of, and one for special customers, where much discussion of an order may be carried on without interruption or overhearing. With the small stock of imagination which the average custom- er possesses, you must either sketch out your proposed decorative plans or have some pictures to show her. It requires some study to arrange and show these pictures and decide what their quality should be. If noth- ing better can be afforded, clippings from The Review will do for a begin- ning. Paste them in an invoice book, classified and spaced. Separate the funeral work from other Resigns. Do not choose every design that is pub- lished, but the best according to your taste and needs. This will make a good beginning. The Use of Albums. After a time you will be able now and then to get a snapshot at some of your own best work and will need to have a better way of displaying it. You may have accumulated enough photos to warrant your purchase of a good album for funeral work and one for other designs, such as table center- pieces, house, church and hall decora- tions, baskets, theater bunches, bridal outfits and corsages. If you can not get good photo work done near by, it may be more satis- factory to do your own work. The most diflBcult proposition will be to con- trol the light. Advice from a good commercial photographer may be neces- sary. However, it is not our business at this time to discuss the process of photographing, but the disposal and value of the photograph. the times and be ahead of the trade.. Your own work in photos will inspire the confidence of the prospective cus- tomer. Necessarily one book will not last you always. Let each successive collection show a creditable advance. Photos of One's Own Work. It is a matter of regret that so much of one's best work must be gotten out of the shop so quickly after completion that it is impossible to get a snap at it. It is also a matter of regret that so much stock goes to waste during the dull season, and time also passes with- out fruitage. Why not take this stock, which the dullness leaves on your hands, and work up a few good pieces for model pictures — some of those things to which you could not work up. a customer's imagination by verbal description, and some of which might have seemed too difficult except for experiment! Have the photos mounted on linen, ready for the album. Learn all you can critically about photographs, what A Cumbersome Inscription 'Veil Handled. ' A loose-leaf album, bound so as to stand wear and tear, will be found most desirable. In arranging the pho- tos, group the lodge and society em- blems by themselves, baskets by them- selves, miscellaneous funeral emblems alone, different treatments of the same design in a group, and so on down the list. Let the collection keep pace with constitutes a good floral photo, how it differs from a portrait photo, how to choose backgrounds and at what angle you can secure the best picture. Pre- serve the negatives carefully for future use in circulars, announcements and other advertising matter.

For instance, a wedding altar, a mantel or a doorway may be suffi- cient for each picture. Free-hand Sketches. For new and original work, free-hand sketches are the best. A certain class of trade wishes designs never before used in the city, and yoh must be able, without previous study, to suggest plans that are both novel and suited to individual tastes. You must be able to ^aflp the architect's idea and sup- plement his work with your decorations. You must respect his structure and not go contrary to his forms and lines. You may talk to many jjersons of what you propose to do for them till you are black in the face, and if you can not show them a picture or sketch they are none the wiser. Therefore, draw a few sketches — whether you can or not. Whether the drawing is ex- cellent or not, it shows your ability in new situations and your general pre- paredness. G. B. WHEN TO TAKE BUDS. "When is it safe to take buds on Shaw, Enguehard and Yellow BonnafFon? S. S. It is safe enough to take the bud at any time now on all these varieties. If it is desired to have Enguehard and Yellow Bonnaffon quite late, the pres- sent late crown can be rubbed off and thei grower can wait for the terminal, which will appear in two or three weeks, but, so far as safety goes, it is perfectly safe to take the buds any time now. Charles H. Totty. TAKING THE BXJDS. This beitfg our first season in growing mums, we should like to ask you when to take buds on the following chrysan- themums, of which we have about 50,000 plants, with the stems so far in good, healthy condition: One and a half houses of Yellow Bonnafifon, one bench of "White Bonnafifon, one large house of Dr. Enguehard, one house of Presi- dent Taft, one bench of Donatello, one bench of Edmond Albe, one house of Timothy Eaton and J. Nonin, four lower benches of Ivory, two benches of Golden Glow, with buds well matured, and about three houses of singles, pompons, etc. So far we have left the latter varieties to grow at their will. If you can help us to this information we shall be grateful to you, as our success will largely depend on the mums. Z. & S. ^ Any time now is perfectly safe^to take the buds. Ivory, in fact, should have been taken two weeks ago to get the best results. The singles and pompons need but little disbudding. The idea with them is to cut them in sprays and it does not pay to disbud them down, trying to get large flowers out of them. It left to grow much at their own sweet will and loosely looped up, they will make beautiful natural sprays that will sell on sight. If it is desired to have some mums in flower from Thanksgiv- ing to Christmas, I would suggest that Jeanne Nonin, Dr. Enguehard and Yel- low Bonnaffon be left growing as long as possible; that is, if the buds which the plants are at present showing are crown buds, these buds can be rubbed off and the side shoots left on to make a terminal bud. If the buds now showing are terminals, of course, this can not be done, but the crop can be held back by keeping the houses eold. Chas. H. Totty. BOTH HAVE FUNGOUS DISEASE. Enclosed you will find two leaves of mums which are affected with some disease. Please inform me as to a remedy. E. D. R I am enclosing some leaves of the mum, Pennsylvania. There is quite a batch of this mum, the leaves of which are turning brown in this manner. We are careful in watering. When they were planted the soil was mixed with well rotted cow manure, and within the last few weeks they have had one dose of weak manure water, one water- ing of Totty 's fertilizer at the rate of one pound to a barrel, and a coating of lime. We have half of this bed planted with Pennsylvania and the other half with McNiece. The latter are not aflfected, and are a dark, healthy green down to the soil. What is the remedy? R. E. The leaves sent by both of these in- quirers are affected with a disease which is common to chrysanthemums, particularly at this season of the year, and is called septoria. It is a fungoid disease and is caused by moisture and lack of air. At this season of the year, when the plants have made con- siderable growth, only a little air can get through the foliage in the center of the benches and it is there that most of the leaf disease starts. If the plants are not affected too far up the stem, the disease does no great harm; in fact, it is rather an advantage, if the leaves are picked off, as it lets more light and air get to the bed. If the plants are Tiadly diseased, the*4ww«dy is to pick off all affected leaves, keep the foliage dry, and spray with a so- lution of sulphide of potassium in the proportion of one ounce to two gal- lons of water. Pennsylvania, the mum which has been bothering R. E. in this way, is a weak grower and always was more or less affected with this trouble. The use of the solution of sulphide of potas- sium, combined with care in keeping the foliage as dry as possible, will serve as a remedy. Charles H. Totty. SWEET PEAS DAMPING OFF. We have a house of sweet peas which were planted twenty days ago from 2-inch pots, in both pink and white varieties. They are rotting off at the ground. We mixed half rotted manure with the soil and only watered moderately, just as we would other young plants at this time of the year. "Would you kindly suggest a remedy? We used four wheelbarrow loads of manure to a 100-foot bench. The soil is black loam. Would it be advisable to plant in hills? Your soil would seem to have been suitably prepared for sweet peas. Are you quite sure that the drainage is good, and also that the soil is not too acid? It would be well to test it with blue litmus paper and find its acidity. If found acid, lime should be used to correct it. Too deep planting would cause damping off, especially if a spell of sultry weather should ensue right after planting. If your soil is all right there should be no need of plant ing in hills; all growers of sweet peas that I know of, sow or plant on level ground. The danger of damping off is much greater in hot than in cool weather. A too close atmosphere is also bad; keep an abundance of ventilation both at the top and sides of the house and do not use any shade on the glass. If your peas had reached any considerable length in the small pots and were planted rather deep to somewhat im- prove their looks, this alone would cause the trouble. Do not coddle the plants; better keep them at 40 to 45 degrees at night until the flower spikes appear, then advance the temperature a few degrees. C. W. Denver, Colo. — W. D. Black, who re- cently opened a flower shop at 1455 Broadway, has named the establish- ment the Bargain Flower Store. He reports that business has made an en- couraging start and he has prospects for a good fall trade. -"^ Sbftembkb 14, 1911. The Weekly Rorists' Review. HOW TO MAKE THEM PAY. Make Haste Slowly. Many of the Dutch bulbs are already at hand and the balance will be here shortly. Bulbs, generally speaking, are this season of good quality and the new specific rates of duty, at so much per thousand instead of the former twenty- five per cent advalorem, have in some cases reduced prices and encouraged dealers to import more heavily. Taken all in all, Dutch bulbs last season paid quite well the growers who specialize in them. Of course there are times of glut, just as in the case of mums, violets, roses and carnations, but any- one growing in quantity who possesses good cold cellar facilities can easily hold his tulips, narcissi and hyacinths back for a few days. The average country florist having considerable retail trade cannot get along without bulbs. There are many occasions, when other flowers are quite scarce, when a nice batch of bulbous flowers helps out wonderfully. Not only for cutting are they good, but pots and pans command a considerable sale all through the late winter and early spring. In order to have early flowers, bulbs must be put in the soil right away. For extra early forcing no doubt some are already in the flats, especially if wanted for the holidays, but it does not pay the small grower to force his bulbs hard with the idea of getting a few for Christ- mas. The prices may be higher, but stems will be short, flowers small and quite a few bulbs will come blind. Tulips. There are more tulips grown than any other Dutch bulb. For cutting, narcissi have advantages, but tulips are more popular in pots and pans. There are probably more of the La Reine (Queen Victoria) forced than of all others com- bined. It is of a charming delicate pink color in winter, coming pure white toward spring. For a later sort, "White Pottebakker is fine, but should not be forced so early as La Eeine. In pots we have Eose Grisdelin, delicate pink, and Proserpine, silky rose, both good forcers. Cottage Maid also does well under glass. In the way of compara- tive novelties, somewhat higher priced but grand in quality, are Queen of the Netherlands, satiny pink, a glorious sort; Pink Beauty, glowing rose pink, and Flamingo, light rose shaded white, a striking sort. AH of these force welL In yellows. Yellow Prince is inex- pensive and good, Mon Tressor, rich golden in color, forces well also, while Golden Queen should be tried where a big, handsome yellow is wanted. Scarlets are not in heavy demand as cut flowers. Vermilipn Brilliant and Belle Alliance are the best for early work. Scarlet Pottebakker is good later. The orange shades are quite popular. Thomas Moore, a sweet scented sort, is the best. Duchess of Parma is rather high in price and not any better in quality. The showy Keizerskroou is an excel- lent forcer and its color, red with a broad yellow edge, is striking. If a boiled down list of forcing tulips is wanted the following half dozen will fill the bill acceptably: La Eeine, Cott- age Maid or Eose Grisdelin, Keizers- kroou, Belle Alliance, Yellow Prince and Thomas Moore. Narcissi. The French grown Trumpet Majors, Golden Spurs and Emperors are the narcissi to grow for Christmas and early January flowering. They average dwarfer in habit and have smaller flowers than thq Dutch stock, however. Trumpet Major, also called Single Von Sion, should be planted in quantity for early work. The flowers are clear golden yellow. There is no better sort to follow it than the well known Gold- en Spur. This is, taken all in all, the best of all the trumpet daffodils for forcing. Emperor, with its immense trumpets of golden yellow flowers, is a robust grower and sells well after the end of January. Victoria is the best of the bicolored trumpet sorts and- its price is now reasonable. Princeps is a cheap and popular forcing daffodil. The flowers, however, lack texture. There are some of the short trumpet sorts which cannot be overlooked. Among these are Sir Watkin, the giant Welsh daffodil, with flowers four to five inches across; Leedsii Mrs. Langtry and Minnie Hume, with broad white perianths and pale primrose cups, charming and popular sorts; and of course, poeticus ornatus, for early forc- ing, and the old poeticus for later work are indispensable. All the narcissi and tulips succeed well in flats contain- ing four to five inches of soil. A con- venient size is 12x24x4 inches. When in pots or pans, place the bulbs as close together as ■ they will stand apd let the soil just cover them. Hyacintlis. In pots, pans and glasses, hyacinths sell better than in a cut state. The miniature and second sizes are some- times boxed and forced, but the sale for these is limited when compared with tulips and narcissi. It is better to buy named varieties for pot and pen culture in order to get exactly the same shaae of color in each. A 5-inch pot will hold one good hyacinth bulb, a 6-inch pot, three bulbs. The special pans and pots for bulbs, which are deeper than those in ordinary use, are best for hyacinths. In flowering in glasses use clear, cold water and place a lump of charcoal in each glass to assist in keeping the water pure. Let the bulbs •stand just clear of the water and change the water if it shows signs of foulness. Keep in a dark closet or room until the roots have run to the bottom of the water and the growths are started at least two inches. Before planting hyacinths, rub off all the small offsets on them, as they are of no use. A few good cheap hyacinths, all single flowered, are as follows: White or tinted. La Grandesse, Baroness Van Tuyll, L 'Innocence and Grandeur a Meerville; pink and rose, Gertrude, Charles Dickens, Moreno, Gigantea; blue. King of the Blues, Queen of the Blues, Leonidas, Marie; yellow, Ida, Yellow Hammer. The double hyacinths are less useful than the singles 'and should not be used for glass culture, owing to the greater liability of the flowers to damp. Spanish Iris." Spanish irises are splendid for cut- ting. They cannot be subjected to hard forcing, like some other bulbs, but in a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees at night do well. They often are grown in benches, but culture in flats is better and permits retarding them over a longer season. A few fine varieties are: Cajanus and Chrysolora, clear yellow ; Louise, beautiful pale blue; Midley, dark blue; British Queen, pure white. Spanish iris starts to grow soon after being placed in the house. Put them in a coldframe and do not cover with ashes, as in the case of tulips, narcissi and hyacinths. It is easy to keep them in frames until wanted for forcing, as they are perfectly hardy bulbs. Gladioli. Increasing in popularity each year are the small, early flowering gladioli, which are splendid for cutting. These can be had in bloom from the end of March until July. Treat them the same as Spanish iris, covering the bulbs two inches deep. The bulbs are small and a flat of the size previously named will hold seventy-five bulbs. Colvillei alba The Bride is an old favorite for forcing, flowers pure white. The cardi- nalis section contains some gems, among which the following half dozen will be found excellent: Peach Blossom, delicate pink, the most beautiful of all, should be largely grown for Easter and Memorial day trade; Blushing Bride, white, crimson blotches, showy; Apollo, salmon orange; Mathilde, white tinged lavender, fine; Ackermanni, salmon flaked carmine, striking; Fink Perfec- tion, bright rose. Miscellaneous Bulbs. Under the head of miscellaneous bulbs comes a number of pretty things that are popular at the up-to-date stores. Among these are ixias, good varieties of which are I. rosea plena Wonder and I. craterioides major. These :;:/^-;'S^-':,i 'iiiM 10 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Sbptbmber 14, 1911. Acacias and Heather at Fliuhing, Loog; Island. do well in 6 iiu*h pans in a cold green- house. Babianas and sparaxis can be grown in the same way, eight to twelve bulbs per pan. Tritonia crocata in shades of orange and scarlet are charm- ing; six to eight liulbs do well in 6- inch pans. Anemone fulgens, scarlet with black stamens, and A. coronaria The Bride, pure white, are two beauti- ful windflowcrs for forcing. They do well in the bench of a violet house or can be planted 'in flats. They must be grown cool. Kanunculi, l»oth Turban and Persian, with their double, butter- cup-like flowers in a variety of light hues, are eagerly sought for by the high class stores. They are better planted out in coldframes or benches than in pots or flats. A violet tempera- ture suits them best. They naturally flower, under these conditions, in late winter. Soil to Use. All the Dutch bulbs like a light but moderately rich soil which contains considerable sand. Whether they are placed in frames, on a cellar floor or outdoors, they should be well soaked with water. Too many florists cling to the idea that if they soak them once and then cover up with ashes, no further attention is needed until they are wanted for forcing. Herein lies one great cause of failure in bulb forc- ing. The bulbs, especially where culti- vated in pots and flats, must be kept well supplied with water, even in winter. The soil may look damp on the surface, but the chances are ten to one that it is quite dry below, aud unless the soil is moist the results at flowering time will be disappointing and probably blamed on the bulb dealer. Unpack the bulbs as soon as received, and the earlier they are placed in the soil, the better they will do. They often fritter away their strength lying around in bags and boxes. Seneca, Kan. — Mrs. M. E. Baldwin has sold the 130 acres known as the Seneca Nursery to August Kramer. Mrs. Baldwin has made no plans as to her future residence. KNIGHT, STRUCK, DAHUNOTON. The recent news in The Review, that the partnership heretofore existing between Thomas Knight and George F. Struck had been turned into a corpora- tion was merely preliminary to the an- nouncement that the company had taken over the establishment of H. D. Darling- ton, at Flushing, L. L, the largest nursery in this country for hard-wooded pot plants for Christmas and Easter blooming. Knight & Struck had been Mr. Darlington's selling agent. Now the Knight & Struck Co., which maintains the office in room 5060 at 1 Madison avenue, New York, owns the nursery and greenhouses. Mr. Darlington has joined with Messrs. Knight and Struck as one of the incorporators of the com- pany, which has $75,000 capital stock, and will remain in charge of the grow- ing operations. The nurseries are situated on White- stone avenue at Higgens lane, about a mile distant from the town of Flushing, on Long Island. It is a compact establishment, consisting of nine green- houses and about three acres of land. The entire place is devoted to the grow- ing of acacias and heaths, with the exception of a few other specialties, such as cyclamens, genistas in bush and standard form, forcing shrubs, and so- forth. In due time a house or two of orchids will be added, for these have always been one of the specialties of both Mr. Knight and Mr. Struck. The accompanying illustrations give an idea of the layout of the place and of the cultural methods. At present one can admire some fine specimens of Acacia longifolia in 8-inch to 14-inch tubs; A. heterophylla, A. floribunda, A. cultri- formis, the latter a free, dwarf-flower- ing variety; A. Riceana, a dainty light lemon-colored variety, and ten other distinct kinds. Erica melanthera for Christmas is in 5-inch pots by the thousands, also specimens in 6-inch, 7-inch to 10-inch pots. Erica reger- minans, the pink variety, is grown for Thanksgiving. Erica cupressina, the popular dwarf, bell-shaped variety, is the Easter specialty. There are also choice things in the way of hard- wooded greenhouse plants, such as lotus, crowea, pultenaea, boronia, etc. One who takes the time for a trip to Flushing will enjoy the visit, for it is seldom that one can find a nursery that makes a specialty of these plants in this country ; in fact, it is doubtful if there is another firm that grows this class of stock so extensively as is done here. Of the members of the firm, Mr. Darlington is one of the old, well-known and successful plantsmen growing for the New York market. Thomas Knight, president of the new company, is widely acquainted with the trade through hav- ing for some years visited the buyers in the interest of Julius Eoehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., and George F. Struck, the secretary, was for a long time on the road for F. R. Pierson Co., Tarry- town, N. Y., and Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., so that he has many friends who will be pleased to learn of the way in which he is prospering. Acacia Paradoxa, Acacia Longftfolia and Erica Melanthera. ■■-*.«. jf/ii Septembeh 14, 1911.

WILI» IMPBOVE SOIL, The Middle West Soil Improvement Association, which for the last six months has been perfecting its plans, met in Chicago September 11 and launched its active campaign. The chief object of this movement is to encourage better methods of building up and maintaining soil fertility by the rotation of crops and the use of barn- yard manure and legumes, supplemented by fertilizers bearing nitrogen, phos- phoric acid and potash; by drainage and the scientific use of lime where re- quired. The work is under the direc- tion of H. G. Boll, late professor of agronomy of the Lniversity of Maine, and former assistant professor of farm crops of the Iowa State College. The committee has established headquarters at 919 Postal Telegraph building, Chi- cago, and invites correspondence. PICKINa OFF PEIMULA BUDS. How long shall I continue to pick oflE the buds of Primulas Forbesi and Chi- nensis? A. E. B. Discontinue picking the flower buds off Primulas Forbesi, obconica and Chi- nensis about the middle of September. This will give them time to bloom nicely by Thanksgiving and Christmas. c. w: — LILIES Ilk^tyqi, HOUSES, As Easter comes April 7 next year, what lily or lilies would you advise us to grow in houses where the tem- perature varies from 40 to about 52 de- grees? That is, we have houses where we can give them this temperature. F. & F. I would not advise you to try L. longiflorum giganteum in any of your houses. This would certainly not ffower for Easter; besides, it does best in a warm house. There remain L. Harrisii, Formosa and multiflorum. The Harrisii will flower the earliest, but this and the other two sorts named should have your warmest house. L. Formosa is a good lily, variable in height and to some extent in the char- acter of its flowers, but generally free from disease. If you want the flowers for cutting, I would prefer this to either Harrisii or multiflorum, but if pot plants^ are needed you would do Erica Regerminans. well to grow L. longiflorum multiflorum. It grows somewhat taller than gigan- teum and the flowers are smaller, but it can be flowered a good deal earlier. Seeing that Easter comes early, you should secure and pot your bulbs in good season. It is easy to retard the stock for a week or two before the flowers open, but you have not the tem- perature for hard forcing to send along laggards. C. W. COMPOST FOB DUTCH BULBS. Please inform me how to prepare a compost for narcissus and daffodil bulbs from a spent mushroom bed, con- sisting of six parts of horse manure* and two parts of soil. E. C. The mushroom bed compost would contain too much manure in itself. Two-thirds loam and one-third of the mushroom manure, with the addition of some sharp sand, will make a good bulb soil. C. W. NEW YOBK. The Market. Never was there known such a season for asters. Thousands of them remain unsold daily. The expressmen seem to be making the most money out of them now, carting the surplus to the river. Every grower of asters within forty- five miles of New York feels like ndVer growing thom again. This does not ap- ply to the finest shipments, for the best of everything always brings good re- turns in the big city. Dahlias have begun to arrive in quan- tity. Here, too, only the best can hope for paying recognition and there are some beauties this season. Gladioli seem to have got their second wind. The rains developed an abundance of late blooms and some of the better kinds met with much favor. The large growers near New York have some re- markably fine seedlings that are not yet on the market. There are quanti- ties of Golden Glow, and before the end of the month shipments of chrysan- themums promise to be large. The win- dows show an abundance of cosmos, hydrangea and goldenrod. Roses have advanced a step toward legitimate values. The new stock im- proves daily. The short -stemmed roses. < . m. -kt ^ ■'^■j: SBPTBMBBB 14, 1911.

The Toledo Florists ' Club had a pleas- ant outing on Sunday, September 10, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wonsetler, of Bryan, O. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. George Bayer, Miss Win- ters, Harry Heinl and family, Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Kellar, S. N. Peck and family, John Barrow and daughter, Josephine, Miss H. Patten, Henry Mil- ler, C. Kaminski and E. A. Kuhnke, all of Tbledo; E. Hall, of Clyde, O.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jordan, of Wauseon, and Christ Winterich and family, of Defiance. Mr. Winterich and his peo- ple came over in an automobile and caught the rest just as they were enjoy- ing a bountiful dinner at the Christ- man hotel, as the guests of the Won- «etler family. After sight-seeing and posing for the camera fiend, everybody, including Mr. and Mrs. Wonsetler, boarded the elec- tric for the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, at Wauseon. Here, again, the party was entertained to the limit and the general opinion of all the visitors was that they would come again. The Wonsetler greenhouses are in the best shape possible. At Mr. Jordan's the asters were so fine as to arouse the good-natured rivalry of all the growers present and everybody wanted the recipe for the growing of them. The soil seems not to have much to do with the growing, because the plants were in all kinds of soil, from heavy, dark ground to lightj yellow sand, and the quality was good, everywhere. In the entire tri^^ere was nothing to mar the eiijoyment pf'Ultyi^dy. nes. ^ting Krueger Bros, finished a big new boiler house on their farm. E. A. Kuhnke has repaired and moved the boilers and is at work putting up a brick smokestack. E. A. K. BOSTON. The Market. We have had a week of dull and, for the most part, showery weather. Such conditions would have been most acceptable in June and July, but now growers and salesmen would like to see clearer skies. Business of late has been poor, on the whole. Saturdays are usual- ly busy days, but September 9 saw trade at a low ebb. The autumn boom is certainly not under way as yet, but with a large part of the vacationists home from the shore and mountain the demand should soon show some improve- ment. Asters are in overwhelming supply and dominate everything. Prices have had wide fluctuations. In one case a wagonload sold for $2, and $1 per thousand was no unusual price. The street venders did a roaring business, selling bunches of twenty-five long- stemmed flowers for a nickel. Gladioli are still plentiful, but the demand is not what it ought to be. Koses are selling fairly well; in fact, they are doing better than any other flowers, but are not in heavy crop as yet. Car- nations are short-stemmed and not especially plentiful. Some nice Pink Delight are seen. Lilies are in good supply, as is lily of the ♦valley, but for neither is the demand robust. Orchid flowers continue rather scarce. In the way of outdoor flowers, cosmos, tuberoses, dahlias, snapdragons, gypso- phila, helianthus and kniphofias (tri- tomas) are seen. Business continues quiet in the green goods market. Dahlia Exhibition. The present season, with its long spell of hot, dry weather, has not been of the most favorable description for dahlias. Nevertheless, there was an excellent show of these popular fall flowers at the annual exhibition in Horticultural hall September 8, 9 and 10, and while the flowers were rather fewer in number than a year ago, the quality was uniformly high. W. D. Hathaway took first prize for twenty- four show varieties, twenty-four fancy, and twenty -four decorative. John K. Alexander had firsts for twenty-four ca.ctus, twenty-four vases of pompons and twelve vases of singles. W. P. Lothrop led for twelve show and twelye cactus, Forbes & Keith for twelve peony-flowered and Mrs. F. A. Towle for twelve vases of pompons and the largest and best collection of named varieties. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had a fine display of Chinese and other liliuras; two new Harry Heinl boilers. The Scottwood greenhouses are en- tirely changed — new hoi^ses, new heat- ing apparatus, new office. 1^ .'^tiHi-^ ^^^r ^^^^ES^^P^ * ^^^^K kltflrm i 1 A Bayersdorfer Workroom. . ...» ..tit.-. , . --v-H&^^.'-^;';v;5«^,.r- ..•;•?:.-::• 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Seftbmbbb 14, 1911. also a grand table of cannas. Wm. Whitman, N. Sullivan, gardener, had a large display of seasonable flowers. Mrs. Frederick Ayer, Geo. Page, gardener, had a good group of ferns and crotons. Mrs. E. M. Gill had a nice general display. J. N. Flint received a certificate of merit for a seedling decorative dahlia, Dorothy Flint, and honorable mention for Hetta. Forbes & Keith secured a certificate of merit for a seedling cactus dahlia. Rosy Pink. Walter Hunnewell, T. D. Hatfield, gardener, received a first-class certifi- cate for Laelio-Cattleya Goltoiana var. Wellesleyensis (C. Warneri x L. tene- brosa.) George B. Gill showed seedling cactus dahlia, Mrs. E. M. Gill, awarded honor- able mention. Mrs. F. Ayer received the same award for a specimen of Cibotium Schiedei. B. Hammond Tracy had a superb collection of gladioli, tastefully arranged. These well mer- ited the silver medal awar;^d. Gladio- lus primulinus, a charming yellow spe- cies, received a certificate of merit. There was an excellent display of fruit. The star feature of this depart- ment and, in fact, of the exhibition, was the magnificent display of hot- house grapes from Thomas E. Procter, .lames Marlborough, gardener, the finest lot ever staged in Boston, which received the highest award of the society, a gold medal. The same exhibi- tor had superb specimens of Sea Eagle, Thomas Rivers and other peaches, and fine trees in pots of plums, apples and pears heavily fruited. Various Notes. William H. Elliott is cutting some fine flowers of Christy Miller, a fine new rich pink rose. Mrs. Aaron Ward is now coming with splendid stems and Killarneys are excellent for September. Henry R. Comley, among other good things, is showing plants of Allamanda Hendersonii, Campanula isophylla alba and passifloras. He has a nice display of choice aquatics and features the new rose, Christy Miller. Don't forget the club meeting Sep- tember 19, for which an excellent pro- gram has been arranged. The Vege- table Growers' Association of America opens its convention the same even- ing, also &\, Horticultural hall, and the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, after transacting necessary business, will probably join with them. William R. Nicholson is cutting nice flowers of Chrysanthemum Smith's Advance and some extra good carna- tions. Thomas Pegler will tell some of his European experiences at the club meet- ing September 19. The Vegetable Growers' Association of America, the convention of which opens September 19, in Horticultural hall, is likely to bring a large attend- ance. The exhibition which th% Mas- sachusetts Horticultural Society will hold, in conjunction with the Boston Market Growers' Association, promises to be a noteworthy one. Fenn, on Bromfield street, reports good September business so far. The Horticultural Club of Boston was organized at a recent meeting held in the Parker House. These officers were chosen: President, J. K. M. L. Farquhar; vice-president, F. E. Pierson; secretary, E. H. Wilson; treasurer, E. Allan Peirce. The Flower Growers' Sales Co. is the name of a new combination which in- cludes sixteen of the large growers for the Boston market. They control twenty- one stalls in the front part of the market of the Boston Flower Exchange. It is hoped that a system of cooperative selling will reduce expenses consider- ably. These officers have been chosen: President, E. A. Peirce; vice-president, L. J. Reuter; treasurer, Frank Edgar; directors, Wm. Sim, Thomas Roland, Charles Holbrau, B. Hammond Tracy, A. A. Pembroke, Wm. Jurgens, F. Dolansky, Frank P. Putnam, W. E. Lenk. Offices of the new organization are at 6 Province court. Miss Gertrude Izette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Roy, of Marion, and William Edmund Hooke were married September 6. Visitors the last few days have included Wm. Duckham, Madison, N. J.; F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., and W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J. W. N. Craig. ST. LOUIS. Tlie Market. Trade has begun to look up a little of late, but it does not yet keep us on the jump as it will later. The great bulk of the trade among the retailers is in the line of funeral work; nothing else of any note is going on at present. For the funeral of the late democratic politician, Edward Butler, an immense lot of work was turned out, and all in the trade had at least one or two de- signs to put up. White flowers of all kinds were plen- tiful, thanks to the large crop of asters. Cochet roses, light colored gladioli and tuberose stalks cleaned up nicely all of last week. Roses and carnations have been coming in heavily of late and of fairly good quality. Lilies and valley met with a good demand all the week. The weather was quite warm during the week and this, of course, had a bad effect on the transient trade. Various Notes. Charles Ford, representing A. Herr- mann, New York city, called on the trade here last week. Dave Geddes spent the last few days of his vacation in company with "Billy" Ossick, of Smith's, on a fish- ing trip, with pretty good luck— so they say. Charles Schoenle and George Anger- mueller left September 11 on their post- poned fishing trip, to last all the week. Frank Windier, who was in Chicago last week attending the wedding of his brother, Robert, and Miss Zender, has returned home and is again at his post at Smith's wholesale house. The members of the Ladies' Home Circle departed September 12 for Chau- tauqua, 111., to hold their meeting in honor of Miss Matilda Meinhardt, their secretary, who has returned from a summer trip abroad. Hereafter the circle will hold regular monthly meet- ings, as usual. Henry Young, formerly of the firm of C. Young & Sons Co., has opened a retail store at 4651 Maryland avenue. This will be the fifth opening of this store as a flower establishment, but the new firm, to be known as Henry Young & Son, will no doubt make it a success. E. R. Methudy, of 5943 Easton ave- nue, reports that he will at once start preparations for the building of a green- house plant of 20,000 feet of glass in St. Louis county. He expects to visit Chicago greenhouse builders soon. The following growers spent a day in this city last week: E. W. (juy and H. Emunds, of Belleville; J. F. Am- mann, Edwardsville; C. E. De Wever, Clayton; John Connon, Webster Groves; G. G. Edwards, W. J. Filcher, Hugo Gross and A. G. Ahner, of Kirkwood. The Shackelford Nursery Co. .reports a large amount of orders for fall de- livery in all kinds of nursery stock. Alex. Johnson, out in Wellston, has just completed two new houses for car- nations. Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Windier, who were married last week in Chicago, send greeting to their St. Louis friends from their honeymoon trip and say they will be at home to their friends after No- vember 1, at 3444 Magnolia avenue, where Mr. Windier has furnished a handsome residence. Andrew Frick, head of the growing department of the C. Young & Sons Co., shot and killed his wife and then killed himself last week. It is said that the recent hot weather deranged his mind. They had been married twenty-two yeirs and leave five children to mourn their loss. Park Commissioner Davis has as yet made few changes at any of the parks. John_ Stocke has been made keeper of Fairground park. It is said that Ernest Strehle will be retained as superintend- ent, and John Morris, for many years head of the greenhouses at Forest park, is also sure of his job. It would be difficult to find better men for these two positions. A. J. Bentzen, of the Bentzen Floral Co., and Oscar Huettemann, manager of the Tower Floral Co., say they have had an exceedingly busy week with large funeral designs. There is some talk going the rounds that two bowling teams will be organ- ized, made up of employees of the four wholesale houses, and there is surely some good timber among them. The following names are mentioned in the make-up of the teams: George Schriefer, Art Meyer, Otto Bruning, Fred Alves, Paddy Patton, Frank Windier, Albert Gums, Will Ossick, William Mitthoefer, Oscar Kuehn and Harry Schlechter. Should the boys organize, the four bosses would hang up suitable prizes to be bowled for. J. J. B. STAMFOSD, CONN. The regular meeting of the Westches- ter and Fairfield Horticultural Society was held in the Royal Arcanum hall September 8, President Stuart in the chair. The exhibition committee re- ported on the final schedule for the fall- show and has provided many classes -for both the large and small growers, with substantial prizes for both. Three hon- orary and two active members were elected and eight propositions received. The judges' report on exhibits award- ed certificates of merit to P. N. Popp and A. Whitlaw for collections of dah- lias. Carrillo & Baldwin received a vote of thanks for exhibiting a Iselio- cattleya seedling. A display of apples by Alex. Geddes was highly commended. Mr. Popp gave an interesting talk on his experience in the culture of dahlias. JohnM. Brown gave an account of his recent three months' trip through Great Britain. M. C. Ebel, of Madison, N. J., was ■ .' fflr;- :. _ . \^^'^~^:-A/'-i.r Skpticmbkr 14, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review* 15 present and spoke of the coming con- vention of the National Gardeners' As- sociation and the Morris County Horti- cultural Society's exhibition this fall. J. B. M. PROVIDENCE. The Market. The cut flower trade was quiet last week, with nothing doing but funeral work, except for a slight flurry caused by the demand for baskets and bou- quets for the members of the stock company at Keith's theater at the clos- ing of the season Saturday night. Al- ters and roses are plentiful and boih have materially improved over a fort^ night ago. A few dahlias are making their appearance, but in small numbers, and sweet peas, which market gar- deners usually make a substantial side feature during the summer, are apparently a minus quantity this year. Various Notes. At the Rhode Island state fair at Hillsgrove last week the exhibits were practically furnished by Joshua Vose, of Pontiac; W. H. Tarbox, of East Greenwich; G. M. McNulty, of Green- wood; George H. Walker, of North Dighton, Mass., and W. D. Hathaway, of New Bedford, Mass., on asters and dahlias, and Daniel A. Clarke, of Fiske- ville, on evergreen trees and shrubs. A large sized model of a biplane, in the corner window of Macnair's new store at Broad and Chestnut steeets, at- >tracted much attention last week. The display of cut flowers and plants added to the attractiveness. Nathan D. Pierce, of the Home Nurs- ery, of Norwood, is in New York and Philadelphia for a couple of weeks, combining business with pleasure. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island will be held at the rooms of the association, 98 Westminster street, Monday evening, September 18. William Taylor, of Lonsdale, is cut- ting a nice lot of asters of all the latest varieties, marketing an average of 2500 each day. He has his carnations all benched, including all the leading standard varieties. Joseph Kopelraan has just completed glazing his latest addition to his range of houses at Oaklawn. The interior of "his sales store, 25 Washington street, has been completely renovated. New floors of hard wood, new frescoed ceil- ing and white" enameled walls are among the numerous improvements. These, added to the new front, give one of the most attractive flower stores in Providence. The Burke Rose Co. is showing some fine houses of roses, violets and chrys- anthemums. The John L. Hayes Co. is a new nurs- ery firm that has started at 130 Sum- mer street, Woonsocket. They are growers and importers of hardy orna- mental trees, hardy flowering shrubs, evergreens, roses, bulbs, etc. John Lee, of Lonsdale avenue. Cen- tral Falls, is showing a fine collection of dahlias. F. Dietz, of French street, is building a new boiler house and a propagating house. A new greenhouse, 100 feet in length, is to be erected in the near future. Albert Vanderbrook, formerly fore- man of the Continental Nurseries, and now foreman for the Burr Nursery Co., of Manchester, Conn., is visiting rela- tives in the vicinity of Woonsocket. The Westminster Greenhouse, Inc., of 1205 Westminster street, has started building a 30x35 foot addition to one of its greenhouses. Wadley & Smythe, of Newport, re- port this season to have been one of the best in several years. Lawrence Hay, of East Providence, is cutting some fine asters. H. C. Neubrand, with W. S. Pino, is spending a few days with his brother ^it Tarrytown, N. Y. A fine crop of summer blooming roses is being shown by William Hay, of Oaklawn. They find a ready sale at his wholesale store on Clements street. Alfred T. Bunyard reports that his first season in Newport has exceeded all expectations. Martin Ockert, who is now in charge of the Newell greenhouses at Attleboro, has made a satisfactory start and his benches are all looking well. W. S. Pino, of Washington street, has returned from an automobile trip through southeastern Massachusetts. Those interested in the establishment of a wholesale flower market report sat- isfactory progress during the last week. A store has been leased at 45 Washing- ton street and arrangements are being made for the building of such stalls, etc., as may be necessary. Telephone connections and other details are being arranged for and the market will be opened October 2. Those who have al- ready joined the new association in- clude Macrae's Sons, John A. Macrae, Walter S. Nichols, Elmer E. King, Hoff- man Bros., O. H. Williams, Burke Rose Co., J. A. Jansen, Albert A. Holscher, Joseph Kopelman and A. Cushing. John A. Macrae is president; Walter Macrae, vice-president; 0. H. Williams, treas- urer, and Elmer E. King, secretary. W. H." M. BOCHESTEB. The Market. With the coming of September, trade took a lively spurt and a few large funerals and two weddings of note made last week a most busy one. Cool weather and a scarcity of garden flow- ers also helped business and prospects are bright for a good fall trade. Roses are good now and are coming into the market in large quantities. Killarney is fine in color and Tafts are unusually good this week and bring a big price. Marylands are excellent and Richmonds also are good. White Kil- larney is in splendid condition, while Kaiserins are somewhat scarce, but of good quality. The Wards are stiir in great demand for all occasions. Carnations are now coming in, but are taken up in advance of their ar- rival. The quality is good, considering the hot weather in August, but most of the stems are short. Sweet peas are gone completely, but asters are a drug on the market, although choice ones bring a good price. Gladioli are thin- ning out. Orchids and valley are in great demand, but are rather scarce. The demand for flowering plants is good this fall and Boston ferns are also selling well. Various Notes. Jacob B. Wiese and Miss Rose Wiese, of Buffalo, spent Labor day here and inspected a few of the florists' stores, getting ideas for the new store which they will soon open at Franklin and Chippewa streets in their own city. William Keller gave a clam bake to his employees on Labor day. A sump- tuous repast was served, including clams in all styles, and all had a most enjoyable time. A party of friends surprised Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Armbrust upon their first wedding anniversary, September 5, pre- senting them with a beautiful picture. Keller has had some good wedding orders lately, notably the one for the Barry-Brewster affair, which kept the force busy for several days. A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., is shipping some excellent dark pink Kil- larney into this market. Miss Lillian Wheeler has returned from her vacation. Walter Salmon, of Brighton, is grow- ing some good Kaiserins. The Rochester Florists' Association held its first regular monthly meeting^ Monday, September 11. H. B. Weller, of Salter Bros., has re- turned from his vacation. George Bennett made a trip to Toron- to recently and visited the fair. The death of Lewis Chase, president of Chase Bros. Co., is recorded in the obituary column on another page of this issue. R. H. McKerr, of Canandaigua, N. Y., is putting up another greenhouse. Visitors: M. Cohen, representing Wertheimer Bros., New York city; R. Karlstrom, representing W. A. Manda, of South Orange, N. J. E. C. A. DES MOINES, lA. A five-minute hail storm, which struck this city September 6,* damaged prop- erty to the extent of about .$5,000. The greenhouse losses alone amount to over $3,000. The storm was of unusual vio- lence, with exceptionally large hail stones and a strong wind. Foster Bros., proprietors of the former Lozier greenhouses, report that every piece of glass in the range was broken. The Iowa Seed Co. said that its houses at Thirty-first street and King- man boulevard were untouched, with no glass broken, and the same report came from J. S. Wilson's establish- ment at Thirty-fifth street and Inger- soU avenue. Nearly one-third of the glass in the city's house at Union park was broken, and A. L. Bebinger's range at Eight- eenth and Walnut streets was badly damaged, about 6,000 feet of glass be- ing destroyed. BERNAEDSVILXE, N. J. At the flower show held here Sep- tember 6 and 7, a splendid collection of plants staged by William Duckham, gar- dener to 13. W. James, of Madison, was the envy and admiration of the craft, many of whom hope it will induce their employers to build the houses neces- sary to produce such stock. The plants of Dendrobium Sanderianum were su- perb and a great factor in securing the gold watch offered by Lord & Burn- ham as a prize. William Elias, superintendent for M. P. Bliss, showed field corn with stalks sixteen feet long and ears that meas- ured fourteen inches and were perfectly full. The exhibits of cut flowers, fruits and vegetables were good and called for some close decisions by the judges. M. fy';:vsm^: 16 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Sbftidhbbb 14, 1911^;: PITTSBUEGH. The Market. Trade conditions have not improved any over what they have been for several months. In fact, from some points of view they are much worse, as during July and August there was no more good stock than was needed and there was not much concern about it if there was not much trade, but now the situation is entirely different, as the market is loaded with asters that are much larger and better than the early chrysanthemums are likely to be, and gladioli, roses and lilies are arriving in such quantities that it is simply impossible to unload them at any price. A few of the best take care of the trade and anything which is not first-class finds its way to the garbage can, as there is no price low enough to coax purchasers to buy in quantitieB and the lot of the wholesaler is not a happy one just now. Pittsburgh never received finer asters or more of them than are coming in just now and the shipper who is sending anything except first-class stock will be lucky to get express charges out of it. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club met September 5 at the Fort Pitt hotel, with thirty- five members present, and there were some interesting talks on the flowers shown. John W. Jones showed late branch- ing asters and outdoor-grown snapdrag- ons in crimson and yellow. W. J. MeFarland had a bunch of Nymphsea dahlias. Neil McCallum had a varied collection, embracing almost everything in tender and hardy flowers in bloom at this time. There were two exhibits sent in which did not reach the meeting, as they were delivered to the hotel gardener, who locked them in the refrigerator and went home and forgot to put them in the room in which the club met. They belonged to the M. Crawford Co., Cuya- hoga Falls, who sent the following gladioli: White Lady, Kunderd's Cream, New America, Jean, Princeps, Bonnie, Winifred, Helen Sill, Margaret and Glory. This collection was considered by those who saw it to contain all the colors that were necessary for commer- cial cut flowers. Frank Banning, of Kinsman, O., sent his collection of varieties, which con- tained Panama, a deeper pink than America; Niagara, America, 1900, Klon- dyke, Augusta and a number of others, including a lot of what he called Pana- ma bulbs; the boys called them the best cantaloupes they ever tasted. They were sent out among the club members the next day and the only regret was that all were not able to see the collec- tion of flowers and partake of the fruit. Various Notes. Paul Kandolph met with what might have been a serious accident when he was returning from his new greenhouse plant at Sandy Creek in his automobile. They were making some improvements alonff the road and in trying to avoid hitt&g an Italian, who crawled out of the aitch in front of him, he turned his machine to one side and went over an embankment. The machine turned tur- tle, but Mr. Kandolph escaped with a bad shaking up. The florists who are growing fruits will be interested in a free public dem- onstration of modern methods of caring for fruit trees. The work of the sum- mer will be reviewed for the benefit of those interested by State Economic Zoologist H. A. Surface, field demon- stration at farms of A. B. GilfiUan, Bridgeville, Pa., R. No. 1, September 18; at farm of Fred Reiber, Butler, September 20, and at farm of Dr. John J. Allen, Monaca, Pa., September 23. Frank Faulk and family have just returned from an automobile trip to Erie, Buffalo, Cleveland and Niagara Falls, touching at Chautauqua and Conneaut Lake. Except that they were storm-stayed for five or six days at Cambridge Springs, they had a most delightful trip, covering 738 miles and getting home without so much as a puncture. Hoo-Hoo. The McCallum Co. announces that it will open a wholesale cut flower and supply house September 30 at 341 High avenue, Cleveland. W. Q. Potter, vice- president of the company, will go to Cleveland to act as manager. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Trade is beginning to liven up a little, but the weather continues warm, with an occasional rain. Carnations have improved wonderfully in the last ten days. Bride and Maid are still small, but Beauties and Killamey are good stock. Asters are more plentiful and some unusually good stock is to be had. State Fair.

Barnes, of Spencer, was in the city this week, being an exhibitor at the state fair. Mr. Barnes is president of the Western Gladiolus and Dahlia Society, which is to have a dahlia show here the latter part of this month. George Gause, of Richmond, was in the city Thursday, having entered in the best floral arrangement class at the state fair. Mr. Gause exhibited a floral lyre, a tasteful piece of work, and re- ceived the second prize for it. Smiling Frank Farney spent a day with the trade this week. The Roepke - Riemen Co. and the Pahud Floral Co. got their share of the premiums awarded at the state fair this year. John Rieman, who usually gets the lion's share of the premiums at the state fair, did not exhibit this year. Carl Brough, with the Dayton Paper Novelty Co., was a caller this week. H. L. W. COLTTMBUS, O. The Market. Trade has improved somewhat since last writing. Quite a lot of good stock is coming in. Roses are improving right along. Mrs. A. Ward is more plentiful and, from all appearances, it is likely to be a good seller; it seems to fill a long-felt want in the way of color, as a great many buyers of it speak of the beautiful autumn colors combined in it. Brides and Maids are better and there is some fancy stock of these to be seen now. The call for Beauties is rather light and a limited quantity is to be seen. Carnations are improving right along. As yet, there is not a great deal of anything but white and Enchantress, but the quality improves from day to day and the demanid i« about equal to the supply. Some first-class asters are coming in and the better grades sell well, while the poor stock goes begging. Gladioli are still plentiful, but the qual- ity is not as good as a few weeks ago. There has been a good supply of lilies, both Easter and rubrum, and they move well. Funeral work last week used up a good deal of stock, especially in the shorter grades of asters and carnations. Quite a few ferns have been sold in the last week or so and the indications are that there will be a heavy demand for them about the time the plants are taken into the houses. Various Notes. E.

J, M. riower Show at State Fair. The Ohio state fair opened here August 28 and continued through Sep- tember 1. Heretofore, except by the Livingston Seed Co., little interest has been taken in the noricultural classes. This year it was a pleasure to note the appearance of Sherman F. Stephens, of this city, and August Schneider J of Springfield, 0. Charles Jordan, of Wauseon, C, proved himself a most competent judge, his decisions being favorably received by the com- petitors. The chief feature was a dining table decoration, which S. F. Stephens won, with a beautiful combination of My Maryland roses and valley. The Living- ston Seed Co. was second, using a centerpiece of Mrs. Taft roses and delphiniums. Miss Eachel Smith, of Trinway, O., was third with a neat de- sign of a lake for a centerpiece. Mr. Schneider 's flowers being lost in transit, he was prevented from competing in this class. The designs, bouquets and vases proved quite an attraction on Thursday. The Livingston Seed Co. took first premium on a pair of bouquets of Eich- mond and Killarney roses. S. F. Stephens ran a close second with a pair of much larger bouquets of lavender and white asters. S. F. Stephens took first premium on a large funeral design, exhibiting a wreath on an easel; Livingston Se-ed Co., second. The first premium for a large festival design was won by S. F. Stephens with an appropriate design, a cornucopia or horn of plenty; Living- ston Seed Co., second. S. F. Stephens took first premium on collection of five small funeral designs, with Livingston Seed Co. coming in second. The first premium on vase of American Beauties was awarded to Livingston Seed Co. First premium on display of twenty- five varieti^ of cut flowers was awarded to S. F. Stephens; Livingston Seed Co., second. Vase of flowers not over twelve inches high, Livingston Seed Co., first; S. F. Stephens, second. Competition was keen in the plant classes. Perhaps the most notable exhibit was a fine specimen of Cycas revoluta, 40 years old, shown by S. F. Stephens, in whose houses it has been for thirty-six years. The plant awards were as follows: single specimen palm, S. F. Stephens, first; Livingston Seed Co.. second. Coliectlon of stove and greenhouse plants, not less than fifty, S. F. Stephens, first; Livingston Seed Co., second. Collection of canras In bloom, S. F. Stephens, first; Livingston Seed Co., second. Collection of palms, Livingston Seed Co., first; S. F.

The few remaining classes were awarded to the Livingston Seed Co., there being no competition, as S. F. Stephens did not enter in these classes. The Livingston Seed Co. also won first premiums on collections of roses. carnations, asters and gladioli, without competition, except on roses by Mr. Schneider, who took a close second. C.E.M. OBITUARY. Lewis Chase. Lewis Chase, head of the firm of Chase Bros. Co., the Eochester nursery- men, died at his home, 4 Winthrop street, Eochester, September 5. He was born January 22, 1830, at Chase Mills, Me. He began the nursery busi- ness in Maine in 1857, with two broth- ers, Ethan A. and Martin Van B. Chase, and in 1868 he and his brother Ethan removed to Eochester, leaving Martin in charge of the Maine establishment. The two brothers were pioneers in the establishment of nurseries in Eoch- ester, along with Patrick Barry and George EUwanger, the original mem- bers of the firm of EUwanger & Barry. In 1878 Martin Chase retired from business, leaving the aifairs of the firm to the management of his two brothers, who soon took out a certificate of in- corporation under the firm name of Chase Bros. Co. At the time of the incorporation Lewis Chase was elected president of the company, which office he retained until his death. In 1895 Ethan Chase sold his interest in the firn;^ and moved to California, leaving his brother, Lewis, as the only original member of the firm. September 6, 1855, at Sidney, Me., Mr. Chase married Edwina G. Dyer, who died May 5 of this year. Five chil- dren, two of whom died in infancy, were born to them. There are still living three children, Charles H. Chase, Mrs. William Pitkin and Mrs. Arthur H. Dudley, all of Eochester; ten grand- children and two great-grandchildren. Mr. Chase was a member of the Amer- ican Pomological Society and several other trade organizations. Louis Nadig. Louis Nadig, a florist employed by Harry White at North Manchester, Ind., died quite suddenly September 4, following an attack of Bright 's dis- ease. He was about 44 years of age and a native of Switzerland. Nothing is known of his family or friends, and the remains were interred in a ceme- tery plot by a fellow countryman at North Manchester. That relatives exist iru Switzerland is known, because Mr. Nadig had expected to receive moneys from there with which he intended to buy greenhouses at Tipton, Ind., and go into business for himself. For a short time prior to his recent engage- ment by Mr. White, Mr. Nadig had been employed by Wm. Dittman at New Castle, Ind. John Leavy. John Leavy, of Greeley, Colo., died September 1, aged 80 years. He was one of the founders of Greeley and was closely identified with all public in- terests. He was a florist and three days after his arrival here, in 1870, had se- lected his ground and was busy turn- ing the sod to plant it to trees, shrubs and flowers.. Born in Ireland, in 1831, his parents intended he should be a priest. He en- tered Trinity college and was an almost daily visitor at the Botanical Gardens in London and there decided to become a botanist. He and his sister emigrated in the early sixties. He located in New York and finally went into the florists' |)usi- ness in New Jersey. In 1868 he became interested in a colony to be founded at the foot of the Eocky mountains, and after his removal to Greeley he became an expert in the botany of Colorado and to him belongs the distinction of having never failed in the identification of a plant in the Eocky mountain region. In his later years Mr. Leavy often lectured before the State Normal school on the flora of the region. He was one of the prime movers in getting for Col- orado its agricultural college and some of the most valuable agricultural data our government has distributed from the department at Washington are a product of his life's labor. About a month ago friends persuaded him to go to a hospital for care, but old age claimed him as a victim. Mr. Leavy is survived by three chil- dren, one son and two daughters. TEBBE HAUTE, IND. Dr. Edward Eeiss, of the Terre Haute Eose & Carnation Co., returned last week from a two weeks' vacation in British Columbia. While en route home, his wife was unfortunate enough to lose a bag containing about $2,000 worth of diamonds, which somewhat de- tracted from what was otherwise an enjoyable trip. Paul Halbrooks, of Columbus, O., who motored to his old home in Evans- villc, Ind., stopped off a few hours here to visit the trade. The newly organized Terre Haute Florists' Club gave its first annual picnic to the employees and their fam- ilies August 29. It was held at Forest park, a beautiful natural spot six miles from the city, and as every estab- lishment closed at noon, there was a good attendance, sixty-five persons be- ing lined up ,at the feast, which took place immediately after the ball game was over. The ball game was fast and furious, with a score something like (57 to 59, but the official records failed to show which side won, so it was de- cided to play it off next year. Eobert D. Heinl, Washington corres- pondent of Leslie's Weekly, stopped off for a day to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John G. Heinl. Mr. Heinl was on his way to Alaska, where he was sent with Secretary Fisher, of the Interior Department, to get a first-hand insight into the Alaskan troubles. Leonard H. Mahan, one of the largest lettuce growers in the state, tried grow- ing asters last year as a summer crop in his empty houses, with such good success that this season he planted five houses, each 25x150, with them, and by having the different varieties he can have asters galore all summer. He uses the large sized ribbed skylight glass on all his houses and states that there is no breakage, that the stock never burns and never has to be shaded. Otto Heinl, of West Terre Haute, sold his greenhotises to a former em- ployee, Tom Stephenson, and will leave October 1 for Oregon, where he has purchased a fruit farm. Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Stover have returned from a visit with relatives in northern Indiana. Miss Duenweg, designer at Fred Heinl 's, is on her vacation, visiting Cincinnati and Louisville. F. G.

There was a considerable display of flowers at the opening of the new Harris Trust & Savings Bank Septem- ber 11. Hardly anything except long Beauties was called for. John Michelsen, of the E. C.

August Poehlmann and family re- turned August 9 from Lake Mills, Wis. Charlie Hunt has become known as the florists' insurance agent, and this week the liability company he represents is engaged in defending an action for personal injury brought by a former employee of Wietor Bros. It appears that the firm knew nothing of the accident said to have occurred two years ago, until action was brought by a contingent- fee lawyer, the plaintiff alleging that he broke two ribs through a fall in the defendant's barn. The insurance company will have to settle in case the employee can prove his case. Poehlmann Bros. Co. will be the largest individual gainer in this market by the reduction in express rates to be made October 1. The cost of getting the stock in from the greenhouse win be cut one-fifth. Otto W. Frese says really good mums are in excellent demand for so early, but that stock that is not fine surely doesn't pay. August Jurgens soon will have his place in shape again, the fire damage repaired. Vaughan & Sperry say they look for a stiff market as soon as the asters are out of the way. Winterson's Seed Store reports Paper Whites as well cleaned up and the market advancing. Tim Matchen goes through the Peter Reinberg place every Saturday after- noon and says it will be only a short time before the roses are in heavy crop. Frank Johnson, sales manager of the A. L. Eandall Co., called on the trade at Grand Bapids last week and this week is visiting the retailers at Omaha and Kansas City. He says the supply business is booming this month. C. W.

Many people are on vacations. Since the rain the florists have been overstocked with flowers. Outdoor stock continues to be plentiful, such as asters, gladioli and sweet peas. Carnations are scarce and short-stemmed. Hydrangeas are begin- ning to make their appearance. The long looked-for rain arrived last week. Various Notes. Olson & Lunden have five houses of carnations and mums. The firm is look- ing forward to a good business this coming season. William Fischer, of the Buckland greenhouses, has about completed his two new houses and will start to erect another house before fall. Earl S.

This is a central location and, as Clleveland is growing rapidly, the McCallum people feel sure tb^re is room for another first-class house. This concern has been quite successful in Pittsburgh. W.

The Blsing Eastern Market. Business is only fair. The supply of cut flowers is increasing faster than the demand, a condition most unfavor- able to marketing all the receipts. Dah- lias are the leading flower. They are fine, showing a distinct advance in cul- ture, in selection and in management. The heavy rains also have played an important part in their improvement. The wholesalers are sparing no effort to popularize the dahlia. It is cer- tainly deserving, for with no other flower are such values obtainable. As- ters evidently are waning. They are plentiful, and many of them are good, but the fancies are not often seen and there are distindtly less of them than a week ago. Gladioli are no longer an important factor. They are still seen, but rarely in quantity. There is a small, steady supply of Golden Glow chrysan- themums. With such fine dahlias in the market, they are not much sought. Cattleya labiata has arrived. The price is falling; $9 per dozen last week has been succeeded by $7.50 and $7.20 per dozen this week; better say 60 cents each. Carnations are improving. Alma Ward has advanced to the top of the list at $3 per hundred. Most of the stock in other varieties is short in stem. There are lots of roses, but not a whole lot of good ones yet. The best sell fairly well. The difficulty comes with the lowsr grades. Easter lilies are good stock. Wild smilax has arrived. Shipping is rather light. Various Notes. W. F. LaCroix has added one glass house, 28x75, to his lilac forcing plant at Buena, N. J. The term "glass house" is used advisedly. Eeview read- ers will remember that the lilac forcing houses are wooden-roofed, with an oc- casional sash. This is the first green- house built for lilac forcing at Buena. It is Lord & Burnham pattern. The Henry F. Michell Co. made a stunning exhibit at the Farmers ' Picnic and Montgomery County Fair last week. A wonderful fruit arch of colossal proportions was a feature of the Mont- Fine DAHLIAS We offer an unusually fine stock of Dahlias for the coming week. The heavy rains have improved the quality of the flowers and our growers have learned to know what the market wants, so we are able to fill repeat orders for quantities of one variety; we have all colors and all grades.

It was the same old weather, the same old complaint, "nothin' doin' much," while the same farmers and market gardeners brought in their home-grown asters, etc., by the tubfuls and sold them for the same small price, their efforts nearly killing business for the professional growers and retailers. Busi- ness checked up fairly well, however, with previous records, and there was enough to pay running expenses, and in most cases a trifle more. September started in with a contin- uation of the August conditions, but a slight improvement was noticed last week, as the funeral orders came in a little more briskly. Carnations of the new planting are cropping quite abun- dantly at present, the supply far ex- ceeding the demand, while the quality is exceptionally good. Beauties, too, are in a flourishing condition and fine in quality, the demand for them be- ing fairly good. Other varieties of roses, while not cropping heavily at present, are suflBcient to meet all de- mands. There seem to be just enough giganteums in the market to satisfy the wants of the trade, while Melpomene, rubrum and album are in heavy supply; nevertheless, the demand keeps up well on them. Asters are commencing to slack up, while a few Golden Glow Canada^s Florist 96 Yonge St> TORONTO "WE NEVER SLEEP" uEENHousEs.

After being delayed eleven days on account of the great labor strike in London and Liverpool, Mr. and Mrs. George Bartholomew, who sailed for Great Britain July 17, returned home September 6. They report a most in- teresting and enjoyable trip, but, after all, could not help confessing that they were glad to get back under the stars and stripes. While in England they traveled extensively, seeing many in- teresting sights. In London, Mr. Bar- tholomew saw fine carnations, nearly as good as the American carnation in the winter, which were sold on the street for the large sum of one English penny. Warren G.

Enclosed you will find a worm which destroyed all my last fall's planting of Norwaj' maples, boring holes right through the stems. Can you tell me of 9ome means of getting rid of this pest? W. S. R. This is one of the borers which at- tack shade and fruit trees. It is not an easy pest to fight. I would advise that the land where the trees were at- tacked be well limed this fall. Plow in the lime at the rate of 3,000 pounds per acre and leave it rough over winter. Borers, when once they have appeared, are not easily controlled. Watch for their appearance and dig them out whenever possible with a narrow pointed penknife, wire nail or piece of galvanized wire. If you can not reach them, in.ject a little carbon bisulphide in the hole and plug the hole at once with putty. The fumes of the carbon will suffocate the borers. This is a somewhat tedious operation, but spraying is of no value, as it is in the case of leaf or bark insects. C. W.

San Francisco, Cal. — Emile Serveau, for twenty-five years a florist in this city, and formerly associated in busi- ness with his brother, Charles E. Ser- veau, is now the sole proprietor of the two large stores and of the nurseries Conducted in his name. The old Ser- veau stand at 2112 Fillmore street, where the business was carried on for a quarter of a century, is under the personal direction of Emiie Serveau, and the new shop at 128 Post street also is under his nfanagement. The nurseries formerly were under the di- rection of Charles Serveau, but he no longer has connection with any branch of the business. ABEBDEEN, WASH. The leading social event of the sea- son here was the flower show held un- der the auspices of the Civic Improve- ment Association, Saturday afternoon and evening, September 2. A large storeroom at the corner of H and Wish- hak streets was used for the purpose and was tastefully decorated by the ladies of the association. The best exhibit in the professional class was made by the Cramatte Floral Co. The entire side window was used, showing the many different styles of designs, and mantel and table decora- tions put out by this up-to-date firm.

With the passing of August, business has taken a decided change for the bet- ter. The amount of calls for bridal bouquets is equivalent to that in June. Funeral work, also, is picking up. The chief source of worry is the difficulty in securing sufficient flowers to cover the demand. Several days of severe rain storms have practically put all outside stock out of commission. Several ship- ping points were not affected by the rain, however, and these are the only source of supply for asters. Sweet peas are about exhausted. Indoor stock is also scarce. Carnations are a rarity, which will be the condition for several weeks to come. Roses are far short of the demand. Out at the greenhouses, carnations and roses are making rapid headway and in a few weeks new stock will be coming in. Violets have made their appearance, but it will be several :<::.(■-• - jrf-^-.. — ^^•^.— - ( ~- Septembek 14, 1911.

Valentine, of Denver, Colo., stopped over a day, but on account of pressing business he did not look over the local stores to any great extent. E.B.C. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. Although business is not at all brisk, it shows an upward tendency, which is gratifying to the not overworked florist. There has been quite a bit of funeral work, as well as a fair amount of wed- ding and other propositions that have used up a lot of stock. We are having a few days of warm weather, which is quite a treat, and the sun actually shows for a few hours daily. Flowers of all kinds are cheap and, with the exception of roses, there is an abun- dance of everything. Asters are just a little past their prime and we may ex- pect an avalanche of them in a few days. Carnations are not in abundant supply yet and are not as long-stemmed as we should like, but, considering the quantities of other stock on hand, it does not matter much.

Harvesting Seed Oops on One of the Farms of Waldo Rohnert, Gilroy, Cal. Seed Trade News. AMEBICAN SEED TBADB ASSOCIATION. Pres., Leonard H. Vaughan, Chicago; First Vlce- Pres., M. H. Duryea, New York City; Sec'y and Treae., C. E. Eendel, Cleveland, O. The radish crop in Holland has turned out well. The seed was ripe earlier than ever before. European seed growers, who had light crops of carrot this season, see in soil conditions a menace to the crop of 1912. The boat from Bermuda that arrived at New York, September 5, brought only thirty-five cases of lily bulbs, consigned to L. D. Crossmond & Co. The Brown Seed Store, of New Al- bany, Ind., has been succeeded by the New Albany Supply Co. John Zahnd has secured an interest in the business and will act as manager. The long rain has seriously damaged the tomato crop in Maryland, but is Indiana and other western tomato centers the crop is good. Canners in Maryland fear they cannot fill contracts. The government crop report as of September 1 was not an inspiring docu- ment. It indicates that the corn crop will fall short of last year 's by 390,000,- 000 bushels, the oat crop by 24,000,000 bushels and the wheat crop by 28,000,000 bushels. W. Atlee Burpee has returned to Philadelphia after his European trip and is now engaged in the attempt to form some idea of the value of sweet peas for the advance list that goes out at this date. This is unusually difiicult this year, as from the lateness of the season some of the crops are not yet even cut, let alone being threshed. Maurice Fuld, of Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, commenting on flower seed crop conditions, predicts a scarcity of certain seeds next season. The hot weather and drought have been general in the seed producing districts of this country and Europe. Asters, Mr. Fuld thinks, have suffered so severely that a shortage in the crop of seed seems cer- tain. CORRECTION In the view of our Farm, appearing in our double page advertisement in The Review, issue of August 31, at the bottom of the page, looking west, showing beyond the line of Sunflowers, is a part of the Farm occupied by the Pieters-Wheeler Seed Co., as a seed farm, and comprising 320 acres. This firm are tenants of C. C. Morse & Co., and will be until the fall of 1912. To the right of this picture, about two miles, but not show- ing, is another seed farm occupied by us, 430 acres, known as the Breen place. Still further north, about fourteen miles, are our Gilroy Farms, occupying about 640 acres of seed. Of course one view could not include the various different farms. C. C.

Morse & Co. in their advertisement which appeared in the August 31 issue of the Florists' Review. The picture and wording of the advertisement might convey the idea that this entire picture is a part of 900 acres grown to seeds by them in one tract. This is not the fact, as our seed ranch of 320 acres, most of which appears in the picture used by them, is a part of the 900 acre farm referred to by them in their adver- tisement. The buildings and the immediate foreground of the engraving are part of the C. C. Morse & Co. ranch. Everything in the rear of the long row of sunflower which crosses the picture from right to left are the Crops of the Pieters-Wheeler Seed Company, about 320 acres. We are taking this opportunity of notifying the trade of the facts in the case. We are still growing seeds on the same tract of land, which our Company, and its predecessor, has occupied for about 5 years. We will again grow seeds on the same tract for 1912, and have just secured another 300 acre tract near HoUister. We have recently installed new machinery in our Cleaning House, including an Air Compressor for thoroughly cleaning the mills between each run of seeds. We are the first and only California Seed Growers to introduce this additional precautionary device. All our seeds are grown from selected stocks, carefully Rogued and Cleaned and high grade in quality. We will have some surplus Onion, Lettuce, Radish and Sweet Peas which we will be glad to quote to Seedsmen interested. Prices for growing crop 1912 will be promptly named on request for same.

It is a singular fact that this season, despite the large production, the price of watermelons kept to the aver- age. Only once or twice were the prices considered cheap. The boat from Bermuda, September 7, brought only three cases of lily bulbs, consigned to "Wells Fargo Express Co. GusTAv SCHOTT reports that the Ger- man grass seed crop has reached the recleaners earlier this season than usual. Spinach is one of the articles that is in constantly increasing demand and, as this year's crops are not good, prices are rising.

Emerson, manager of the "West- ern Seed and Irrigation Co., Fremont, Neb., is on a fortnight's trip inspect- ing melon and cucumber crops. One of the surprises of last week's government crop report was the show- ing of some of the states as compared with the August 1 condition. For in- stance, it had been supposed that in Nebraska there had been marked im- provement during August, but the government report gave corn in that state a condition of 63, September 1, as compared to 64, August 1.

The Weekly Florists' Review^ 57 LILIUM HARRISIl (THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY) LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES. THIS SEASON "We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price. The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a f ew^ selected grow- ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted no fresh manure is used ; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed of we shall have no more to offer. While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbf, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000 FERNS We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties— good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the most critical buyers.

Our position in the trade is somewhat like that of an umpire of a base ball game. We get cussed a good deal and, of course, have some enemies, for no man can have friends without enemies. However, we go right along pounding stone and doing what we believe is right, whether it be for our own good or for the good of the hive in general. We make mistakes, to be sure, but ultimately we hope to be better understood and want the good will of all. Now, there is one secret we have, and we're going to let you in on it. It's a sort of woman's secret, though, and you know a woman has only two views of a secret — either it's not worth keeping or it's too good to be kept. Our secret is too good to keep, so you may tell it to anyone you want — and it's just this, that Horseshoe Brand Lily Bulbs have hon- estly got most other brands skinned a mile. More care and labor are expended upon them than you have any idea of. Nothing that human hands can do is left undone to make them better bulbs. They are priced as reasonable as we can afford to sell them. Try them, if you don't know them — they are money- makers. Prices upon appli- cation. RALPH N.

Will you be good enough to tell me about the culture of cucumbers? I have a house ten feet wide and want to grow cucumbers under the glass. Would White Spine be the best to grow for Thanksgiving? Please tell me the right distance from plant to plant and how many trailers to grow to each plant. How far back should the seed shoots be cut and what length should the vines grow to produce a good crop? What is the right tem- perature in the winter? T. B. Cucumbers must have a warm house and good, rich soil. A temperature of 68 to 70 degrees at night and 85 de- grees on bright days is about right. They are harder to grow in the fall than in the spring, and if you can not give them their requirements it would be better not to try them now. Let- tuce is safe and surer in the fall and winter. Start the cucumbers in pots, one plant in a pot, and plant them two feet apart in the row. Each row should have a bed three or four feet wide. Train up the stalk as high as the house will permit and trim each branch by pinching out the tip, leav- ing two leaves on each branch. Grow White Spine or the Davis Perfect. I would advise you to grow the Davis Perfect, as it is a much stronger grow- er and easier to handle. It has plenty of Jong fruit, too. H. G. Georgetown, HI.— R. L.

Our aim is strong growers, that don't have to be petted to be grown into a choice salable plant — a well built, five petaled flower (many of them at one time), with well marked foliage; every plant an ideal, a prize-winner. Received first and second prizes at the Toledo Florists' Club meeting early in November, when blooming Cyclamens were scarce. Seed of this, my own grown strain, in five separate colors, $1.00 per 100; $6.00 per 1000; $25.00 per SOOO. Cash with order. Christ.

Business since last report has not im- proved to any great extent. Considera- ble rain lately has injured the aster crop, so these flowers are about done. There are still plenty of other outdoor flowers and this tends to hold back the sale of greenhouse stock. Roses and carnations are improving and, with cool- er weather, they will be much better. Various Notes. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. reports that trade is good, everything consid- ered. Their shipping trade has been excellent. They are cutting a good quan- tity of carnations and these are good. The crop of white roses is a little off, but some nice My Maryland are being cut. Their asters are all gone. George Blackman says that they have no kick coming. Julius Niednagel & Sons are doing their usual good business. Their roses, carnations and mums are all looking flne. Ben Kramer says that business is picking up somewhat. Henry Seymour says that business is slow. He is cutting some nice carna- tions. He has his mums in good shape, with prospects for some nice flowers. J. C. Elsperman has had something to do in funeral work right along. He has been cutting a considerable quantity of outdoor roses and some other outdoor stock, and so has not found it necessary to buy much. Louis Fritsch has his carnations in fine shape. He intends to build a forc- ing house this fall. It will be 14x60 feet, adjoining his other houses. Nellie Goodge has been confined to bed during the last week. Eoyston & Fenton are cutting lots of roses, with little demand for them. Austin J. Wallace, of 511 Eichel ave- nue, has moved into his new residence, near his greenhouses. His carnations are in fine condition. He has sold ail his asters. £. L. F. Haverstraw, N. Y. — John J.

Seems that we tooted the horn too soon in regard to the opening of the new season at the last writing, for busi- ness again assumed the gait of the good old summer time. The supply was equal to that of a week ago, but the demand was practically at a standstill. Club Meeting. It must have been quite pleasing to the president at the last meeting, Thurs- day, September 7, to see the large at- tendance, which was something out of the ordinary. The secretary had a letter drawn up which it was voted to send to the sec- retaries of all the cemetery associations, asking them to discontinue the practice of selling wire designs. The executive committee of the fall flower show made a favorable report of the progress made to date, and apparently it is going to be a hummer. An invitation of the Chicago Florists' Club to attend its jubilee meeting on October 5, was ac- cepted with thanks. Quite a number voiced their intention of going. Various Notes. William Pagenkopf, whose houses are located on the Cedarburg plank road at the northern city limits, has filed a per- sonal injury suit of $10,000 against T. M. E. E. & L. Co. He alleges that on November 17, 1910, while driving across the street at Seventh and Galena streets, he was compelled to drive out to pass another rig, and without warn- ing, a car coming from the rear crashed into his wagon, throwing him to the pavement. He sustained a broken leg. ' A. F. Kellner and family returned September 4 from their summer home at Okauchee lake. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, the Florist Club's picnic, which was tp have been held Septem- ber 10, has been postponed to Septem- ber 17, to be held at the same place, Stappelf eld's Grove. The committee in charce would like all to come early. *• E. 0. Providence^ R. I.— John F.

Heavy rains and cool temperatures have been followed by delightful fall weather and we all look for a fine Indian summer for a few weeks. Asters, the main product of the market, have improved lately and, with the exception of the stock that came in on the rainy days, the quality has been well up to the standard. The market is flooded, but the good stock moves fairly well. Carnations are making an early appear- ance, but are rather slow and short stemmed; however, they are useful for funeral work. Eoses are none too plen- tiful, but are becoming better in quality. Varioiis Notes. "William F. Kasting was again elected to a high office of the Orpheus Society last week. In the little town of Corfu, where florists have settled thickly, things are progressing nicely. Everybody appears to be making money and improvement seems to be the rule. John Preisach has renovated his place in every re- spect and now has a model plant. All others have replaced one or more houses and conditions look bright for a suc- cessful year. Buffalo depends largely for its supply on the output of these houses. Henry Weber has the reputation of having the best begonias and cyclamens and his stock is certainly looking tip- top at the present' time. William Webber, of the Wm. Scott Co., is still confined to his bed as a re- sult of a serious sickness which started last spring. Mr. Kirchoff, of Pembroke, N. Y., has been a frequent visitor this summer, taking care of his trade on sweet peas and gladioli. His stock is always in demand, but late delivery on the part of the express company has been a serious trouble; however, he has named one of his prize gladioli after the gen- eral manager of the company and now the trouble is remedied. The variety is called T. A. Eitzen. E. A. S. Indianapolis, Ind. — Members of the Indiana State Florists' Association are planning to charter a special car to go to Newcastle, Ind., to attend the meet- ing of the organization October 3. A. F. J. Baur, the eecretary, says it is ex- pected that twenty-five florists from Indianapolis and vicinity will compose the party. rOINSETTIA HEADQUARTERS Fine, strong, healthy plants, 2'a-in., $5.00 per 100- $40.90 per lOuO.

Busutess through the summer held up qui la dfecently for the dull season and is pieking up nicely as the fall ad- vances, showing a good increase over last year, with the demand pretty even- ly balanced in the different classes of work. Vacationists are back in their places and everything is beginning to shape up for a good season 's business. Shipments of supplies and accessories are showing up, accompanied by their usual bills, and the bulb eases drop in pretty regularly. The Hail Storm. "Well, what did the hail do to you?" Everyone connected with the florists' busioessi is tired of hearing this ques- tion. At 5 p. m., September 6, this city was visited by one of the most vicious storms it has entertained for some time. Between 5 and 7, indeed, there were three hail storms. During these storms, and through the night, enough plain water fell to make the rainfall for the twelve hours nearly eight inches. The loss of glass was not So heavy as that of last year, but some growers lost nearly all their roofs and all houses were damaged at least twenty per cent. The loss of stock is the worst pill to take. Mum plants and other stock in the houses were cut and broken by hail and falling glass. The outdoor crops for the season had been doing splendid- ly, as a general thing. Some exception- ally good asters, dahlias and gladioli had been cut. The hail has absolutely ruined the asters, while dahlias and gladioli are an exceedingly doubtful proposition for future flowers. The stoYes, which "had been having all the stock they could handle, suddenly found themselves without anything to fall back on. All the greenhouse men are taking immediate steps to replace their roofs, and orders for about five cars of glass have already gone in. Various Notes. The night of the hail storm was the night of the formal opening of one of the principal clothing houses. The decorations downstairs were by C. P. Mueller; upstairs, by W. H. Gulp & Co. Several nice floral offerings were sent, principally American beauties. The Gulp company also decorated for an un- usually elaborate home wedding last week. Elwood Kline, manager of the Kline OO., at Lawrence, spent Saturday and Sunday in this city. His friends smile when he says he is visiting his parents and the greenhouses here. L.

We have three new greenhouses, which we wish to heat with hot water. The houses run north and south. The boiler is at the northeast corner and the houses have a fall of eighteen inches from south to north. There are forty-two inches of glass in each of the two outside walls. The south ends are 'glass, but the north ends are en closed by the boiler room, workroom and office. The east house is 14x100 feet and will be used for ferns, palms, etc. The middle house, 20x100 feet, is for mums and general stock. The west house, also 20x100 feet, is for carna- tions. How deep will it be necessary to dig the boiler pit? What is the best lo- cation for the tank! Please state, also, the best and cheapest system of piping the different houses for their respec- tive uses. The outside temperature here rarely falls lower than 5 degrees above zero. We have a good lot of 2-inch pipe, which we should like to use for returns, and we should prefer not to use anything larger than 3-ineh for flows. R. L. G. The best circulation is secured when the boiler pit is deep enough to bring the top of the boiler two or more feet below the returns, but this is not neces- sary when overhead flow pipes are used. For the two larger houses use three 2% -inch overhead flow pipes and six 2-inch returns. The arrangement of the returns will depend somewhat upon whether benches or beds are used. In the former case, put about one-half of the pipes on the walls and the others can be distributed under the benches. In the 14-foot house, for which a tem- perature of 65 to 70 degrees will be re- quired, it will suffice if two 2%-inch flow pipes and six 2-inch returns are used. The same arrangement as sug- gested for the other houses could be used in this one. Eun all of the pipes downhill, thus bringing the highest part of the system near the boiler. By attaching the tank at this point, it will do away with air valves. A CANVAS-OOVEBED HOUSE. I have a canvBs-covered greenhouse, seven feet high, which is used for vege- table growing. The canvas can be pulled back to allow the sunshine to enter. In fact, the house is similar to ' the cloth-covered greenhouses of Flori- da. Here, in northwestern Louisiana, The Heating Question??

We had that boiler up to 1906, that is 12 years, having no repairs on it whatever, except one set of flues we put in in 1900.

I also want to have a greenhouse nearby. By using a large boiler the greenhouse could also be heated. But would a large boiler be too expensive for heating a small greenhouse, say 20x50 feet, when heat would not be needed for the canvas greenhouse? We have natural gas for fuel, which costs from 8 cents to 15 cents per 1,000 feet. J. F. M. The plan proposed for heating the canvas-covered greenhouse is a good one, but would be improved by com- bining it with overhead flows. The use of five 2% -inch flows overhead and fifteen 2-inch returns, placed about eight feet apart and eight inches un- derground, is suggested. This will give bottom heat, which will be helpful in forcing the crops, and by warming the soil you will have considerable heat in reserve, which will be helpful in a can- vas-covered house. In the greenhouse, 20x50 feet, use one 2i^-inch flow and six 2-inch return pipes. The best way will be to have a small heater, with a capacity for 200 square feet of radia- tion, for the glass-covered house, and a larger one, rated for about 2,000 square feet, for the canvas-covered house. IN WESTEBN CANADA. As I am abour to start in the florists' trade in western Canada, f shall be pleased to receive a little information on the heating of greenhouses in this cold country, where the temperature in the winter months often ranges any- where from zero to 20 or 30 degrees below. Steam heat seems to be fre- quently preferred in cold countries. Is this because it is not safe to use hot water so far north, or because steam can be installed more cheaply! Which system would be more economical after being installed? I am thinking oi building two connected houses, each lo x50 feet and 7 feet high at the sides, with four feet of giass and the rest wood. What size of boiler and what piping will be required to heat these to a temperature of about 50 degrees in the coldest weather, with either a steam or a hot water system? W. G. Hot water will give good results if used in latitudes like the one referred to, but it will cost one-half more to Why "Superior"?

Little complaint was offered among the retailers last we«k. Stock of near- ly all kinds was plentiful and moved fairly well. The cool breezes of fall have at last made their appearance and shortly those who are spending their time away from home will be arriving in the city, and naturally business will once more go ahead. Stock inside is in every way en- couraging. Koses and carnations are looking exceedingly fine. There is little mildew or stem-rot, but many of our growers will be short on carnation plants on account of the damage done by hail storms and cut worms. Mums are in excellent shape, but not nearly so many are being grown as usual. As- paragus and smilax are up to the usual standard and violets are doing finely and look as though a good return can be expected. Boses are arriving more regularly and the carnations are look- ing better and selling well, although somewhat slow in arriving. Dahlias are coming in much more heavily and find good sales at fair prices. Asters are still a glut, but are moving fairly well considering the large quantities on the market. Various Notes. The Maryland state fair, held at Tim- dtaium, Md., was a great success, and many gardeners and florists attended. The farmers and private gardeners made excellent exhibits. I. H. Moss, of Govanstown, made a large exhibit of evergreens, as did J. L. Wagner, of Towson. The latter 's exhibit also in- cluded cut flowers. H. J.

TORONTO. Thd Market. >■ , September has opened well, with plenty of work, though some men in the trade are of the opinion that there are not so many weddings during this month as there used to be. However, be that as it may, everyone seems to be fairly busy for the season and no com- plaints are heard. Stock is coming in quite plentifully. Roses are better and asters are excel- lent. Golden Glow mums are having a big run. The new yellow tinted rose, Mrs. Aaron Ward, has made its appear- ance and has taken well. From pres- ent indications it will be a big seller here. The Dale Estate, Brampton, is the shipper. The Big Show. The Canadian national exhibition is over for another year. The exhibits in flowering plants were quite good, though not large. Although rather tropical in effect, the grand groups of palms, caladiums, ferns, water plantR and other botanical wonders made a good showing. There were six groups in the class for decorative groups, each covering 400 square feet. First honors went to Sir Henry M. Pellatt, whose gardener is T. McVittie. Thos. Manton, Eglinton, took second prize. Eeservoir park was third and Exhibition park fourth. The competitive groups of ferns, each 200 square feet, brought out four en- tries, all of which were exceptionally well displayed. First prize went to Sir H. M. Pellatt, with Reservoir park sec- ond, W. J. Potter third and St. Law- rence Market fourth. The cut flower display and showing of designs was not large. It never is. Florists claim there is not enough money in it for the trouble and after the first day's showing, owing to the heat, the design is spoiled for looks and advertising value. In the class for best and most original funeral de- sign A. Jennings, Deer Park, took first with a model aeroplane. S. A. Frost was second, and Thos. Manton third. The class for table decorations was won by S. A. Frost, with A. Jennings second and J. J. Higgins third. J. J. Higgins captured first in presentation baskets and S. A. Frost took second. For bridal bouquets Mr. Higgins was again the winner, with Mr. Frost second. Various Notes. It is rumored that a new flower store will be opened on College street, near Spadina avenue.

M. •^5^00 U».%- ''HANILTON-NADE'' GREENHOUSE HOSE What our mark on hose means "Hamilton-Made" means superior quality in general and one thing in particular. The "one thing in particular" is this: On every length of "Hamilton-Made" hose you will notice a mark not found on any other hose — "Guaranteed 750 pounds pressure," or 700 or 500, etc., according to the grade. On our "Hamilton" brand every length has been tested under pressure of 750 pounds to the square inch. Any piece showing defect is rejected. 750 pounds is fiV6 times the usual pressure in steam boilers. Think of it 1 Do you wonder that this hose is strong; that it is stiff and will not kink ? "Hamilton" brand, our highest grade hose, selling at 25 cents a foot, will last three to five years under ordinary greenhouse use; it will stand three or four times as much wear as common hose. As often happens, the high grade is the cheapest. Under the same brandi and of the same excellent qnalltles. we make Hose for Saction, for Steam Service and for Spraying. All made especially for the service to be done and satisfaction ffuar- anteed. How to get the best hose that is made COME jobbers in Fiorista' Supplies do not sell ■^ the highest-grade Greenhouse hose. They argue that everybody wants low-priced hose. We know better, for we know that our stiff, strong, tough "Hamilton" brand hose is really the cheapest of all, and that many wise buy- ers will tie glad to get it. We therefore make this offer to all who cannot buy it of a dealer : If your dealer does not keep It, we will deliver io you anywhere In the United States, PREPAID. 60-foot lenrths of Vinch -HAMILTON" brand, onr high- est crade Greenhouse hose, complete with standard brass conpllncs, for the revalar price. $12.50 £ACH LKNGTH.

THE COLE GLASS CO., Lancaster, Ohio Mention The Review when you write. NEW ORLEANS. The Market. Every florist in the city is wishing that, with the end of the dismal, rainy, summer season, the dullness of business will depart likewise. This summer will surely go on record for the heaviest rainfalls experienced in this section of the country in many years. The standard foliage and flowering plants, growing on for the coming win- ter season, are everywhere in good condition. The chrysanthemums are beginning to show buds, and though a great number of plants suffered from the excessive rains, a scarcity of flowers for All Saints' day, November 1, does not seem probable at the. present time; much depends on the weather conditions from now on and all growers hope for the best. Nearly every florist 's establishment is more or less infested with different kinds of caterpillars and only the great- est determination to destroy this vora- cious pest saved thousands of Aspara- gus plumosus and all kinds of uephrol- epis from utter destruction. Hardly any plants, kept outside during summer, are housed before October, giving the florists suflScient time to get their houses in proper shape for the coming winter. Summer travelers are beginning to come home, and the displays in the different flower stores show already a marked improvement as compared with the monotony of the last three months. Any increase in business activity is, so far, hardly noticeable, but the recent funerals of several prominent people, besides some small weddings in the city and nearby towns, helped the storekeep- ers to dispose to some extent of their stock, which at present consists mostly of northern flowers. All kinds of bulbs have arrived lately in great shipments, but, owing to the early season, only Lilium Harrisii and calla lilies have been*planted, which «rill be followed by giganteums, hyacinths, narcissi, etc., by the end of the month. Various Notes. Hermann Doescher, one of the city's young, enterprising florists, and Harry Dressel, the expert rose grower of the Metairie Eidge Nursery Co., went on a business and pleasure trip to Galvetf- ton, Houston and other points in Texas. The Metairie Eidge Nursery Co. wil\ occupy larger quarters on Carondelet street. E^ B. S. JACOBS & SONS 1361-1365 Flushing Ave., Brooitlyn, N. Y.

Individuality and Character. Buyers of flowers, candy, jewelry and, in fact, of all the so-called luxu- ries, demand and get an attractive con- tainer for the goods, neatly wrapped and tagged. Just as a jeweler can not deliver a diamond ring wrapped in a piece of tissue, or a candy man put his 80- cent bon bons in a paper bag, so the florist who is aiming for the top rungs of the ladder can not neglect his put-up on the plea that the customer wants the flowers alone and doesn't care about the looks of the package. The majority of flowers are sent either as presents or in payment of respects, and go to a person other than the one placing the order. A gentleman order- ing roses to be sent to a lady naturally desires them to make an impression, and he knows the tag, the box and the dressing up of the package make for a greater appreciation of the flowers within. The average purchaser of flowers demands the dainty accessories which go to improve the package and is willing to have the cost included in the price. Before even tho question of boxes and inside wrappings comes the ques- tion of a tag which will be in keeping with the flowers. The tag goes on every plant, package and box. It is always first noticed when the goods are delivered, because one of the initial questions is, "Where did they come from!" If the tag is a cheap manila stock, poorly printed and cut, the im- pression gained from it must be similar to that left by a personal visiting card of the cheaper class. Checkmating the Copyist. Discerning florists who want to spend the money used in dressing up the package where it will do the most good, have long since adopted the high grade tag. Some of them, in the endeavor to get and retain something distinctive, are having tags made from registered designs. They reason that inasmuch as the name is a guarantee of quality, it should be attractively printed and made as hard to imitate as possible. In a New Jersey town not long ago the best florist was using a white tag printed in script and old English in two colors, red and green. A hustling com- petitor dropped in, opened a store a block away on the same street and copied the older florist's tag exactly as far as inks, arrangement and wording were concerned, only making sure that the name and address were changed. The first man on the ground naturally was nettled and resolved that he would get a distinctive tag that could not be copied. He began by photographing his store front and placing a halftone cut of it on the tag. Around the cut was a trellis design in roses which eventually became a border for the tag. His name and address were also printed from cuts, and when the tag was turned out he sent a copy down to Washington and had the design registered. Customers quickly noticed the change and complimented him both on his new tag and on the effective way in which he had squelched his imitator without any litigation. . Many Variations Possible. Distinctive florist tags are made in countless varieties. The violet, rose, orchid or gardenia may be effectively made use of in the design, and if an especially attractive tag is desired, both name and flowers may be em- Bossed. Many florists use a crest or halftone of their store front on one corner of the tag. For a florist who desires simplicity, the neatest tag is one printed in gold bronze ink on white stock and embossed. The stock used in all of the better looks of the package and impresses the customer. THE AGORAVATINQ FLOEIST. "Did you get the flowers for the window boxes!" asks the fond wife. The obliging husband waits until he has hung up his hat and then answers: "No." "But I thought you were going right to the florist this morning, to order them." "I was, and I did, but I didn't or- der them. I went in there. It was a regular florist's shop — pots of flowers all around, and cut flowers in an ice- box, and a young lady cashier with a violent pompadour on the back of her head and not enough powder on her nose, and one of these splattery-looking new-fangled shirt waists. Yes, I went in. And a low-browed man with a hay-colored mustache came to wait on me, and I told him I wanted to pick out some stuff for some window boxes. All right. He took me around, and pretty soon I saw what it was. He said it was ornothorhynchus pasteuritis, as near as I can remember. Next thing I picked out he called taxidermatous policlinic. Then I pointed at some kind of a fern, and he said the bi- sulphidous mulligatawney was a fine box plant. Also he especially recom- mended a vine he called Popocatepetl ipecacuanha and a shrub that he de- clared was bifloratamus zoUocoffer Distinctive Tags Give the Package an Individuality. tags is treated so that water does not stain it. This means that unless act- ually soiled, all the tags leaving the shop will go out white and clean, even though the flowers have been sprayed after the tag is attached. With the busy autumn season near, the time when the florist counts on adding to his prestige, the adoption of a tag showing individuality helps the dolcefarniente. From then on he had my goat. I thought I was to give an order to a florist, and I found I was up against a university professor, evi- dently. Why, I'll have to brush up on the dead languages and tour Europe a few times before I can order plants.

UNDBIED BLOOD AS FERTILIZER. Will you please inform me whether blood, fresh from the slaughter house, is a good plant food for carnations and mums? In what proportion should it be used with water? Any information will be appreciated. G. N. G. Fresh blood from the slaughter house would not be a good fertilizer to use on your benches. In that state it would be weak in fertilizer and at the same time likely to sour your soil. If you can arrange to put it through a rapid drying process, the dry substance would make a good plant food. Evapo- ration would be too slow a process to be profitable, and to rig up a plant for drying it by heat would probably cost you more than your needs would war- rant. However, if you wish to install such a plant I would suggest that you consult someone who is experienced in that line of work. You do not need much dried blood to give your plants all they can use, and my advice to you would be to buy it in a dried state, be- lieving that you will find it cheaper in the end and more satisfactory. A. F. J. B. DISEASED WINSORS. I am sending you under separate cover some stems of my Winsor carna- tion, plants, which are affected with some sort of disease. Will you please tell me what the disease is, with the causes and the remedy? The samples which I am sending are among the worst, so you can plainly see what my trouble is. A. C. U. The disease which is attacking your Winsors is the same that drove all the Lawson varieties from a number of places some years ago. These varieties seem to be especially subject to its ravages. It is of a fungoid nature and should be treated in the same way as all the spot diseases, except that it does not seem to yield to treatment as readily as most of the others. As you will notice, it attacks the stem in most cases, instead of the more tender leaves. First I would cut off all the stems that are affected, cutting them at least a full joint below the affected part. Then spray the plants heavily with Bor- deaux mixture once each week. Keep the water from the foliage as much as possible as long as no red spider threat- ens. Dusting the plants with Grape Dust will help to keep it down. When you begin firing, paint one of the steam f)ipe8 with a paste made of sulphur, ime and water, using the sulphur and lime in equal proportions. You will need considerable perse- verance in combating this disease, as it is one of the most stubborn of its kind. When you see a stem with one of the spots on it, you might just as well cut it off at once, and save others that may not be affected as yet. Burn all you cut off. A. F. J. B. USE OF SOFT-WOOD ASHES. I write to ask you whether I can use muriate of potash or sulphate of potash in place of wood ashes. If so, how much ought I to use at a time on a bench 4x100 feet, for carnations a»d mums? I can not get good ashes here, as there is so much soft wood in them. I can get soft pine and cedar ashes for nothing, only paying for the cartage, but the time spoilt in putting these ashes on the bench is worth more than the benefit derived by the plants. G. A. E. I have an idea that you underestimate the value of those soft-wood ashes. Of course they do not contain as high a percentage of potash as those from hard wood, but they do contain enough to make them valuable. Simply put on more of them and you will get the same benefit. You will find them much safer to use than the muriate and sulphate of potash, especially at this time of the year. Do not always expect to see quick effects from the ashes after you apply them. Some varieties will stiffen, up in the stem perceptibly in a week or so, but other varieties, which produce a less fleshy growth, will not show the effects so quickly. This sometimes leads growers to give too much ashes be- fore they can see any effects, and the result is a crop of brittle stems — some- times so brittle that the weight of the blooms will cause them to snap at the joints. This usually happens in mid- winter, when the sun is wefiik and the growth is kkely to be soft. >. ' ■ , .T^A. F. z:^ IN SOirPH DAKOTA. The Mitiehell Greenhouses and Nurs- ery, opefated by The Newburys, is one of the rapidly growing establishments that speak for the . progress the trade is making in the great northwest, where the people are just beginning to culti- vate the finer things of life, where there are miles and miles of room, and where floriculture is developing at a rate second only to the increase shown in the milder climate of the southwest. Mitchell is a county seat from which radiate a number of rural mail routes, but it is not the town one would expect to support a range of 50,000 feet of glass, such as The Newburys have, and, in fact, were it not that they do busi- ness at retail all over that section of the country, and at wholesale in the plant line all over the United States, they would not find their facilities con- stantly running behind the demand, as is now the case. The accompanying illustration shows one of The Newburys' carnation houses, planted before the Fourth of July, from which cutting was begun July 20. By August 20 there was a good crop on, a nice daily cut being made with stems that ran fourteen to sixteen inches. And everything was selling well. DRAINAGE IN WINDOW BOXES. Will you kindly tell me how drain- age is provided for t^nd takeii care of in small winter window boxes that con- tain about six primroses? A. E. B. Some window boxes can be drained out from below by taking out a stopper, standing a pail below until the mois- ture is all drained out, but &b a gen- eral rule none is thought of or pro- vided, in which case it is necessary to take out the plants and sponge out the water; otherwise it soon becomes putrid and plants standing in it speedily show yellow foliage. If carefully watered there is no need for stagnant water col- lecting in the boxes, however. C. W. FLOWER SHOW AT HELENA.

The object of these flower shows is to encourage the growing of flowers in the yards and homes of the citizens, thereby adding to the attract- iveness of this already beautiful city. Prizes were given for the best displays of flowers or plants grown and owned by the exhibitors and also for the best kept yards. The result must have been gratifying to the promoters, as the large auditorium was filled with a gor- geous display of plants and autumn- blooming flowers, such as asters, core- opsis, cosmos, dahlias, gladioli, phloxes, hollyhocks, roses, sweet peas, etc., grown in such perfection as only care- ful attention cotild secure. The prizes w6re given by the mer- chants and prominent citizens of the city, and a number of cash prizes were given by the State Nursery Co. The show was entirely free, no admission fee being charged. An excellent orchestra furnished music during the evenings, while an admiring crowd of visitors filled the large hall. The State Nursery Co. made a large display of palms, ferns, ornamental foliaged plants, blooming plants and cut flowers. The Columbia Gardens, of Butte, sent a most attractive collection of cut flowers, mostly hardy perennials. Exhibitions of this character should be encouraged by florists, as they tend to develop a taste for, and a knowledge of, flowers among the general public, which will lead to an increased de- mand for flowers, plants and seeds, and eventually benefit the florists. J. P. R. THE DORSET VIOLET. We are going to try the new single violet, Dorset, tliis year, and should like to know whether it requires the same treatment as other sincdji varieties or stands a higher temperaiBre. "Wroild it be profitable to grqw it together with sweet peas, snapdragons, stevias, etc., after the mums are gone! We have the violets in a coldframe at present. *- A. F. C. Violets, especially the single ones, are sometimes grown in the same house with sweet peas. When the pea rows are five to six feet apart, this is possi- ble. Violets prefer a lower temperature than sweet peas, and in order to have good violets the night temperature should be held at 40 to 42 degreetj. Sweet peas in the early stages of growth will do well in this temperature, but they will need 8 to 10 degrees more heat when the flowering period is reached, and this will soon run out the violets, which, however, should have given quite a crop of flowers before this time. Stevias can be run as cool as violets; anything just clear of frost will answer. Snapdragons want 45 to 50 degrees if they are to grow and flower satisfactorily. The Dorset violet I have grown with Princess of Wales, which is, so far, much the finest single in commerce. Dorset, with a temperature of 40 de- kgrees, came short-stemmed, had no odor ' and was poor. What it would do if grown warmer, I cannot say. Some growers are said to do well with Gov- ernor Herrick grown at 50 degrees. Pernkps Dorset may like more heat than Princess. Perhaps some readers who have had success with Dorset wflt. give their views. C. W. Merrill, Wis. — Work is well advanced on the addition to Nick Greivelding's greenhouse.

Biggest Blow in Chicago's History. For the first time since greenhouse area came to be measured by the acre, an answer has been given to the many times repeated question as to what would happen if a really vicious storm were to strike one of the modern ranges; and the answer, like the rec- ord in the traveler's order-book, has been written in triplicate, for three of the many big plants that have made famous in the trade the district north of Chicago lay, Monday morning, Sep- tember 18, in the path of a cyclonic gust that did in one brief moment damage that will take months to repair. It was at 1:35 a. m. that the storm broke. The wind was high all through the district, where there are dozens of big greenhouse establishments, but its fury was centered on a strip possibly 200 feet wide and scarcely three blocks long. Practically every foot of its journey was across the roofs of green- houses built on the ridge-and-furrow plan that is the typical style of con- struction in the Chicago section. The Peter Beinberg place lies between North Bobey street and North Seeley avenue, stretching out for nearly a half mile north and south. West of it, parallel, between Seeley and Hoyne ave- nues, lies the establishment of George Beinberg. North of Balmoral avenue the latter 's Beauty houses cover a width of two blocks, and on the southwest corner, so that thev are surrounded on two sides by George Beinberg 's ranges. •>-/,•. t> ' '■-^U .m- ■■ ... ■■ .-; ■;> ^v.:i;^v --.

It clipped a house and a half oflf the George Beinberg Beauty range at its west end, then crossed Balmoral avenue, striking down practically the whole Bchaf er-Handel place, and plunged into the big row of houses of George Beinberg beyond. Here a path nearly 200 feet wide was cut through a range of twelve houses,, all devoted to Bichmond roses. Though the rear ends of some of the houses stood, and the front ends of the others, the storm, in its diagonal course, prac- tically destroyed the north eight'^ouees. The ninth and tenth houses in the range were not greatly injured, and south of these little damage was done. After crossing George Beinberg 's range the cyclone leaped Seeley avenue and plunged into the establishment of his brother, Peter Beinberg. Here the storm center appeared to widen out, though it did not diminish in force. There are twenty-three houses in the two city squares between Balmoral ave- nue on the north and Berwin avenue on the south, and not one escaped 8«me damage. Across the center of the range, where Summerdale avenue is covered by a greenhouse work shed, the destruction was greatest. Almost all the glass was taken out of the two houses south of the shed, but the sash- bars stood.

Peter Reinberg himself agreed to the suggestion that there seemed good evidence that in this storm the presence of the iron gutters had made a saving that was a good deal more than their cost. "You know I always thought well of the iron gut- ter," he said; "never used anything else since Garland first brought it out." What the money loss will be neither of the Reinbergs would venture a guess. Work of repair was begun at daylight after the storm and Peter Reinberg ex- pects to have the sashbars all back in his place and the glazing done before frost arrives. George Reinberg 's loss will be much heavier, for he has ten hobses that will have to be practically rebuilt. The Schafer place probably never will be restored.

SEASONABLE NOTES. Cattleya Labiata. Cattleya labiata has buds in the larger sheaths well advanced and many will be in flower toward the end of September. I often wonder what we would do for cattleya flowers in fall and early winter wore labiata taken away. Yet it is not so many years ago that it was one of the so-called lost orchids. It is a mistake to materially reduce the water supply for labiatas until the flowers have been cut. Give a liberal quantity until that time; then gradually reduce it. As the plants come into flower, move them to the coolest part of the house, where they will not be exposed to the sun's rays. As there will soon be many orchids in flower, where a collection is grown, it pays to keep a small division especially for plants in flower. With a close and somewhat cooler temperature, they keep much better than in the atmosphere which suits the growing plants. Speaking of C. labiata, this is the cattleya par excellence for any one just starting in orchid culture in a small way. It is as easy to grow as the gera- nium, and a special house is not needed for it. The demand for cattleya flowers steadily grows, and any one with a few pans or baskets in flower will find them excellent for store decoration, for use in designs, or in groups at any of the exhibitions. So far as the initial cost goes, the grower can generally get back his money after the first crop of flowers. Cattleya Dowiana Aurea. The beautiful yellow cattleya, Dowi- ana aurea, starts to flower about the end of September, flowering for several months where a few dozen plants arc grown. Continue to water them freely until the blooms are cut, after which time careful treatment through the win- ter is necessary. Any overdose of water in dark weather is liable to kill the plants. Keep them well up to the glass at the warmer end of the house, letting them get a good deal of sun. Never min^ if the leaves get pale in color, as wiell as the bulbs. The dark gr<^wn ones are not those which bloom freely, and, furthermore, they go to piccwi quickly in the winter unless haii^j^^ with great care. Various Cattleyas. Some of the late summer cattleyas, suclh as Harrisonise, Luddemanniana, Loddigesjii, Leopoldii, granulosa, Eldo- rado, GiftBkelliana and bieolor, are now out of flower or soon will bcr Give each of them a good rest before overhauling and repotting them. It is better to see the new growths pushing and the roots peeping before repotting. Use clear osmunda fiber for all cattleyas, and the coarser brands are the best; they wear better than the soft, spongy samples, which also hold the water rather too long. After flowering and before re- potting, give the plants any necessary cleaning. Thrips are liable to deform some flowers where fumigation is neg- lected; especially is this the case with plants grown near the roof of the house. A couple of fumigations before the labi- atas open will clean out any of these pests, which annually destroy large quantities of orchid flowers. Lselia Anceps. La^lia anceps is now growing strongly and the roots want a good supply of water. The flower spikes will be quite well advanced, especially in the colored varieties. As a rule, the white forms flower the latest. While white cattleyas are generally weak in comparison with the colored ones, the white forms of Ltelia anceps are in nearly every case much more vigorous than the colored ones and produce much stronger flower stalks, which also have better keeping qualities in a cut state. These la;lias, as well as majalis, autumnalis, acumi- nata and others, like a light, airy house and resent anything like a close atmos- phere. They want only a light shade; when grown in heavy shade they grow beautifully but flower poorly. They should have the colder end of the cat tleya house in winter, but any wanted for Christmas can be given a little more heat. Calanthes. Calanthes will still be in active growth. They still need an abundant water supply, with manure water twice a week. Cow or sheep manure, with some soot added, strained through a bag, is a safe manure for these and many other orchids. An oversupply of water is usually the cause of black spot on the leaves, while a damp, clammy atmosphere, without fire heat, will fur- ther aggravate it. Try to give them a little fire heat every night and on all dull, damp, cold days. The night tem- perature for them should be 70 degrees.

The Weekly Florists' Review* X7 Cattleya Harrisoniana with Fifty-Five Blooms, Flowered by Julius Roehrs Co. This can be reduced 5 degrees as the foliage commences to turn yellow. Cymhidiums. Some of the cymbidiums can now be repotted. Such varieties as eburneum, Lowianum, Lowianum eburneum, ebur- neo-Lowianum and several others are best overhauled at this season. The cymbidiums, like the phaius, calanthes, sobralias, thunias and some other or- chids, succeed letter in good ftbrous loam, from which all the finer particles have been shaken out, than in fine fern fiber. A compost of half fiber and loam answers well. Give them liberal drain- age and water them with great care after repotting, so as not to rot the living roots. Some coarse sand and lumpy charcoal may be added to the compost with advantage. Cymbidiums are beautiful orchids and the lasting qualities of the flowers are equaled by but few other varieties. They need a moderately cool house; 52 to 55 degrees in winter is sufficiently high. Odontoglcssums. Tt is littter tSrait until the end ot the ^ealiy l^ot we^Fh^ before repotting any of the.pdontog^|!^ums requiring it. There^wil^VjlfiiiPw bow in flower unless it may I i n n tJciasional grande or two, which miikc h nice show in fall. The crispum types now are practically flowerless. The softest texture of fern fiber, to which is added some chopped sphagnum moss, makes a good potting mixture. It is better not to top-dress with live sphagnum. It looks nice and plants with growing moss are attract- ive, but the moss harbors too many of the small shell snails, which will work havoc with the flower spikes as they appear. Keep the plants shaded from direct sunlight after repotting, and be sure to pot firmly. Dendrobiums. Some varieties of dendrobiums, such as formosum giganteum and Phala'- nopsis Schroederianum, will already be flowering or will have spikes well ad- vanced These two useful commercial sorts ^cceed well in small, shallow pans, and want a warm, moist house to grow in. As the mikes advance, move them into slightly cobler and drier quar- ters. The earliest noioiles and some of the hybrids now have the pseudo-bulbs well made up, and by the end of Sep- tember they can be given a cooler and more airy house in which to ripen up. Plants on which bulbs are only partially developed should still be grown hot and moist, and a syrirfl^ng overhead about .S o'clock, closing "the houses to bottle up the sun he atmosphere t ^will give them just the •like. ntv-five of thi East In(U^n Kast Indian orC'hids^RVWI^HPpular than they were»twenty-five of thirty years ago. They embrace many beauti- ful varieties which uaed to be features at the exhibitions. There seems to be a reaction in their favor, which I am pleased to note. Of course, they will never rival the cattleyas, oncidiums, cypripediums, etc., commercially, but for people finding pleasure in a collection they are quite fascinating. Phaltenopsis are the most popular, and they are be- coming more of a market flower each year, especially in California and around the big eastern cities. These, and other East Indian orchids, while they enjoy considerable shade and a lot of heat and humidity in the growing season, should now have more light and less moLsture in the air, as well ^ at the roots. Included in this interesting fam- ily are the vandas, aerides, saccolabiiuns and angrsecums. In admitting air, al- ways avoid drafts; they can not stand air like cattleyas without suffering a loss of foliage. HIS OWN FAULT. Two young employees of a florist in Philadelphia, who are supposed to be variously employed in the rear of the establishment while the boss looks after things in the front, were recently startled Ijy the appearance of the "old man ' ' while they were engrossed in a game of checkers. The proprietor was justly indignant. "How is it," he demanded, "that 1 hardly ever find you fellows at work when I come out here?" "I know," volunteered oiie of the youths; "it's on account of those rub- ber heels you insist on wearing." — Harper's Magazine. Lancaster, Pa. — J. P. Siebold, the East Orange street florist, was arrested recently for blockading a street with his wagon. Investigation proved that the officer was intoxicated and made the arrest without cause, whereupon Mr. Siebold was released. ■ ■■'>^ ■ w: V»« '■ 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Skptbuber 21, 1911. SEASONABLE SUQOESTIONS. The Question of Feeding. September is a busy month for the mum grower. All the plants are rush- ing into bud, and 'side shoots spring into being, as it would seem, over night. This means that the plants must be gone over carefully, in order to keep them in the straight and narrow path where they belong. What feeding is needed must be done during the next few weeks, as it is im- ]iossible to continue feeding much after the buds show color. The question of feeding chrysanthemums is an especi- ally important one and many otherwise good growers seem to be all at sea as to what and when and how much to feed their plants. This matter has been dis- . Entertainment — Robert fKaihaley, chairman; Walter Taepke, Louis Char- vat, A. Sylvester, Wm. Hiels^er. Various Notes. J. Breitmeyer's Sons expect to open their beautiful new store about Sep- tember 30. W. B. Brown suiiplied the palms and decorations for the Taft banquet at Wayne pavilion September 18. The palms and flowers for the fall opening of the Crowley-Milner Co. were supplied by B. Schroeter. G. Pedrick, of Walkerville, is one of the most regular attendants at the club meetings. Norman Sullivan spent several days traveling through Michigan in an auto last week, making Grand Rapids the principal stopping point. The McHugh Floral Co. has built a small show house in the rear of the store, giving much additional display room. Murray T. Patterson and his bride of a few weeks have returned from England, where the wedding took place. Richard Mach, who until recentlj' was in the employ of Breitmeyer's, has purchased from P. Hildebrand the greenhouse and store at 66 Clippert ave- nue. It is a pretty discouraging proposi- tion to keep up the decoration in a flo- rist's window all through the dull sum- mer mouths; nevertheless, this is just what Walter Taepke has done. The large show window has been prettily trimmed all summer. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange quarters have been given a new coat of white paint and the whole establish- ment looks spick and span, ready for business. U. S. PROVIDENCE. The Market. Business showed a slight improvement last week over the preceding one, but hardly enough to make any material difference in the general situation. However, with the hurrying back of the fashionable set from the seashore, country and the mountains, and the ap- proach of cooler weather with its ac- companiment of dances, receptions, dinners and other social functions, there will be a steady increase in the demand for flowers. Asters have passed their height and the first of the state- ly chrysanthemums are beginning to grace the show windows. A few early carnations are also in evidence, while roses are showing better form. Prices still maintain the summer sched- ule, but will begin to stiffen in a few days. Various Notes. A violent tornado, which left behind it a path fifty feet wide, tore across Barrington just after 1 o'clock Monday afternoon, September 11, and did much damage to trees and shrubbery. The duration of the infant cyclone was brief, but the funnel-shaped cloud lifted the roofs of several greenhouses owned by Walter S. Niehol at Hampden Meadows. After the blast passed the roofs settled back, but more than 500 panes of glass were shattered and the coverings were all askew. Two heavy frosts visited various I>arts of the state on the nights of September 13 and 14 and did consider- able damage to market gardeners and many of the florists who had not taken in all their field stock. Asters were especially caught. Louis J. Renter, of Westerly, was a visitor at New York last week. Bert Wesson, employed by William Hay at his Clemence street store, had a narrow escape from losing a part of his hand a few da.vs ago. He got a rose brier in one of his fingers, blood poisoning developed and only by prompt and heroic measures was the hand saved. The Providence Seed Co. received a large shipment of Dutch bulbs last week. William Appleton received a large consignment of palms and decorative plants last week. William Jurgens. of Newport, was a visitor in this city last Monday. He announces that he will sail for Ham- burg September 28 and will be absent for two months. Albert Holscher is contemplating a trip to the Argentine Republic to ar- range for a shipment of orchids for his new orchid house, which he is adding to his range on Hartford avenue. The work of fitting up the new wholesale flower market was commenced Thursday of last week and the market will be ready to open October 1. Robert Greenlaw, representing the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., of Phila- delphia, was a recent visitor in this city. A large mirror fell in the store oi Johnston Bros, a few days ago and was completely destroyed. A large mai ble counter slab was also broken by th ■ fall. L. A. Jillson has been making a larg. display of choice dahlias at 86 Rich mond street. Edward Brooks, of T. J. Johnston iV Co., is enjoying a vacation trip in th( country. W. B. King, of Apponaug, is bringing in the first carnations of the season They are looking good. Two large consignments of Dutch bulbs were received last week by W. S. Pino. Otto Carlson, employed by the Ever ett Forestry Co., fell from a tree whicli he was trimming in the Swan Point cemetery and fractured both wrists and was severjly shaken. John Burke, of the Burke Rose Co., was a visitor in Worcester, Springfield and Sturbridge, Mass., last week. John W. Kelley, of Fall River, was recently in Providence purchasing sup plies, having recently started in the retail business in that city. William Appleton had the decora- tions for the opening of the millinery department of the Boston Store, and the table and hall decorations at the Narragansett hotel for the banquet to the Society of the Army of the Poto- mac, in annual convention. Patrick C. Henry, Jr., of this city, has brought suit against George John- son & Son for $1,500, for injuries re- ceived by falling from a tree which he was trimming while in their employ. At the monthly meeting of the New- port Horticultural Society an offer was received from Mrs Burke-Roche of a $30 prize to the gardener who would propa- gate and exhibit at the June show of the society a yellow rose similar in color to the Marechal Niel, but which will have a straight and upright stem. Mrs. Roche also offered a $15 prize for a vellow carnation. W. H. M. WINTERING CANNAS. What is the best way to keep cannu bulbs? We had poor luck keeping them last winter. Where is the best place to keep them? Do they need to be dug be- fore the frost kills the foliage? S. & L. Allow the plants to be cut down by frost before digging them. You need not be in a great hurry, as the first killing frost is generally followed by some hot weather. Select a warm, sunny day on which to dig them. Let the soil dry out fairly well before tak- ing them under cover. Cannas are of- ten wintered under the greenhouse benches. This is not, however, a good plan. There is bound to be more or less drip and, the atmosphere being moist, the plants are liable to start premature- ly. Any dry shed or cellar will winter them, so long as the temperature keeps a little above freezing. Shelves are best to store the roots on. Do not shake the soil away from the roots. In fact, it is a good plan, if they are bare, to store them in boxes with some moderately dry soil. Any dry potato or root crop cellar will winter cannas. If possible, keep them as far away from the heater as possible. In the event of their being kept near a boiler it will be necessary to give them a little water at intervals; just suflScient to prevent the roots shriveling. 0. W. r\_:'".^fr'' SEPTEMBER 21, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review* 21 NEW YOBK. The Market. There is nothing new in the market, but the rivers of asters, gladioli and dahlias will soon be dry, and the de- mand for flowers is surely increasing. We will manage from now- on to digest everything fit, somehow, though prices may not exhilarate the growers. Dahlias are coming now in quantity, and quality, too, is up to the mark. Orchids have fallen and are abundant; 50 cents was top September 16. Ship- ments are increasing and will continue to do so from now on. American Beauties are improving rapidly in quality. Prices do not ad- vance, notwithstanding the openings of many theaters and the gradual return of society dames to their New York homes. Other roses than Beauties are fast improving in stem and heads and for selected stock the top quotations are obtainable. The new varieties go quickly and are used for attractive window displays. Lady Hillingdon is a favorite. Killarney, Maryland and Maids are fast improving and the long- stemmed arrivals find a good market. The great bulk of the short-stemmed roses go at any offer. The street men fight shy of asters and gladioli and so the surplus of these goes into the discard. This week will likely see the end of both, though dahlias and the early mums are already crowding them out of the limelight. Slowly but surely the stems of the carnations grow longer and their heads larger, and some worth $2 per hundred are now arriving. Lilies and valley hold their values well. Tritomas, hydrangeas and cosmos are utilized largely for window filling and unless perfect find no market. Various Notes. The meeting of the Horticultural So- ciety of New York, September 16, at Bronx park was well attended. The exhibits were few, but the lecture by George V. Nash drew a fine audience, Mr. Nash has just returned, with Mrs. Nash, from a visit to Spokane and other cities of that wonderful apple raising country, and illustrated his lecture with many stereopticon views. He will give this lecture later before the New York Florists ' Club. Mr. Nash has bought an orchard tract near Spokane and intends ultimately to locate there with his family. The fall exhibitions of the American Institute and the Horticultural Society of New York do not clash this year, the former having chosen November 1 to 3 and the latter November 3 to 7. The Madison show will be a hummer, in size and prizes; the date is October 26 and 27. Stamford has chosen dates the same as the New York shows, for its first venture, November 3 and 4. Pater- son 's show comes September 23, Tarry- town November 1 and 2, and Mt. Kisco, September 29. Elberon has chosen the same dates as Tarrytown, while the Nassau county society has post- poned its show to Octojter 11. John Shore, of Harrison, N. Y., was in the city last week, his first visit in two years. Anton C. Zvolanek, of Bound Brook, N. J., has sold part of his land to a real estate syndicate and has been ad- cling to his possessions in California, from which state he lately returned. The great Mineola fair takes place next wriek and ffbrists ' exhibits wUl be many. Harry Weston will be one of the judges. Two young florists arrived at Hicks- ville last week, by the stork route, and Ernest Granz claimed both of them. Siebrecht & Siebrecht and Kessler Bros, have followed the example of Wal- ter Sheridan and Traendly & Schenck and removed their offices to the back of their stores, adding greatly to room and convenience. A ^number of the wholesalers have been'visiting the violet growers up the Hudson. Meyer, of Badgley, Biedel & Meyer, says he received the first ship- ment that reached the New York mar- ket this year. Mr. Badgley was re- joicing last week in the arrival of an- other member for the firm and both mother and son are doing well. Percy B. Rigby, of the Pennock- Meehan Co., and Mrs, Rigby are back from their vacation in the mountains. Alex, McConnell is expected back this week from his visit to Europe, where he has mingled business and pleasure for six weeks, Myer, at Madison avenue and Fifty- eighth street, has completed his decora- tion of the biff, store and, with special mirror and lignting effects, he has ad' ded greatly to its size and beauty. He was a large buyer of decorative palms at the auction houses September 19. Arthur T, Boddington has added largely to his seed case conveniences and his building is now complete in every particular. McKinney had the Ogden-De Forest wedding last week, decorating Trinity 'ihurch and the home. George Cotsonas & Co. have moved their office to their upstairs supply de- partment. The business is growing rapidly. Chas. Weiss, Jr., of Chas. Weiss & Sons, was married September 14 at Terrace Gardens, 200 of his friends at- tending the reception. Abraham Tish- man, formerly with the Growers' Cut Flower Co., is now with Weiss & Sons. Gunther Bros, are receiving some grand gladioli of a new and unnamed pink variety, Mrs. C. C, Trepel is now at the helm in the cut flower department of the Bloomingdale store. Mr. Mallon, Jr., is in charge of the Gimbel branch and E, S, Gorney is manager at Loeser's, C, C, Trepel is kept busy buying for his enterprises, A visit to Julius Roehrs Co., Ruther- ford, found everything in apple-pie order, as usual. Not much new building is being done, but the whole range has been put in shipshape and stock of every kind never looked better. Fred L. Atkins, just home from his European trip, is enthusiastic over the rapid development of the nursery busi- ness of Bobbink & Atkins during the present year. Another range of glass is nearing completion and the large new office is needed for the big force now necessary in the transaction of the business. J. K. Allen reports already receiving large shipments of chrysanthemums. Mr, Allen says the season will be a hum- mer when it gets started, Harry Turner, of Greystone, and his bride, who was Miss Alice Donnelly, of Port Washington, have returned from their honeymoon. The wedding oc- curred August 27, Rutherford has organized a bowling club for the winter season and is ready for a match with New York, There will be matches later with Astoria and Madison, Regular bowling by the New York club will commence the first Friday in October at Thum's alleys,' on which date permanent arrangements will be made for the winter, J, Austin Shaw, MILWAUKEE. The Market, Trade conditions, though nothing to brag about, showed an improvement over those of the week before. Asters continue to be a great drawback. Busi- ness on Monday, September 18, opened well and continued good during the day. Club Picnic. From a social standpoint the Florists ' Club's picnic, Sunday, September 17, was a great success. The weather was ideal, but even that was no inducement for many to come early. With F. W. Mueller as master of ceremonies, ably assisted by H. V. Hunkel and C. Dall- wig, the numerous games came off in good order, to the thorough enjoyment of; all present. It is a pity that it tfi^ed dark so early, for everyone would have liked to continue to make merry until much later. The following prizes were awarded: Clothes pin contest, Miss P. Hunkel. Nail driving contest, Henry Dobberphul. Peanut race, Lydla Pohl. Potato race, first, Gertrude Sommers ; second, Miss Mollenhauer. Apple-eating contest, first, Ruth Holton; sec- ond, H. Stappelfeld. Fat men's race, first, C. C. Pollworth : second, Mr. UotKlafT. Young men's race, first, Ray Currle ; second, Clarence Retzlaff. Boys' race, first, Bert Retzlaff; second, George Rurde.

Sack race, first, Clarence Retzlaff; second, Ray Currle. Tug-of-war, Fred Holton and John Arnold, captains; Fred Helton's side winning after a hard struggle. Various Notes. In the presence of a few intimate friends, Walter Holton, nephew of Fred W. Holton and son of Geo. Holton, of the Holton & Hunkel Co., was mar ried to Miss C. Klabutske, September 13. Walter is holding a responsible position at the salesrooms of the firm mentioned. Gust Rusch, for the last seven years with the Holton & Hunkel Co., returneS September 15 from a four days' trip to Chicago and vicinity, preparatory to opening a wholesale cut flower and sup- ply store at 448 Milwaukee street. The opening date has not been set. Mr, and Mrs, Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, returned September 17 from their seven weeks' trip, which took them away up into Alaska, When seen at the florists' picnic the same af- ternoon, they had a lot of interesting news in store for the boys and their companions. The Florists' Bowling League will, according to present plans, roll the first game October 3, Among the numerous visitors during fair week, the following made their presence known: James Matthewson, Sheboygan, Wis.; Louis Otto, Neenah, Wis.; C. Haenltze, Fond du Lac, Wis.; Gust Meyer, of the Burlington Floral Co., Burlington, Wis., and William Nero, Cedarburg, Wis. •fMteolt*' 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Septbmbeb 21, 1911. The C. C. Pollworth Co. is looking eagerly forward to the time when the new quarters will be completed, which is only a matter of a few days now. Holton & Hunkel Co. is cutting a large crop of American Beauties and Killar- neys at its Brown Deer place. The fall openings of the various large dry goods and department stores within the next fortnight are again creating a demand for decorative plants, and some orders have already been booked. E. O. ST. LOUIS. The Market. There was a slight improvement in the market last week. The weather in the daytime has been hot during the whole week, but the nights are cooler and the cut of the young stock is con- siderably better in quality, especially carnations. A great many more carna- tions are coming in. The supply of asters has decreased and they are now seen only in limited quantities. Dahlias are plentiful, but the demand only calls for the best. The week was noted for the large supply of single tuberose stalks, with the price down to $1.50 per hundred stalks. Eoses are looking fine; the greatest supply is in white and pink Cochets. There were also good consignments of Killarneys, Eichmonds and Marylands. Lilies are cleaning up well; so, also, is lily of the valley. A few yellow mums are coming in, but not many as yet. There are quite a few fall opening decorations this week, which will keep those who handle this branch busy. The retailers are looking forward to cooler weather to steady up the trade. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club held an interesting monthly meeting September 14, in the meeting rooms, with twenty-five mem- bers present. This meeting was known as the installation meeting. President Connon started the proceedings at 2 p. m. The auditing committee reported that the books of the secretary and treasurer were correct. Communications were read from the Chicago Florists' Club, inviting the members to Chicago to attend the Chi- cago club's twenty-fifth anniversary. The invitation was accepted and Messrs. Smith, Geddes, Halstead and Beneke were appointed a committee on arrangements for the trip. The matter of appointing a commit- tee to assist the Eetail Florists' As- sociation in passing its bill, now before the House of Delegates, was laid over until the October meeting. The committees on the applications of Eobert Winkler and Mathew Schoen- berger reported favorably and they were elected to membership. Applications for membership were presented by Charles Young, of St. Louis; J. E. Mul- doon, of Kirkwood, Mo., and George Madsen, of Alton, 111. In the order of new business the in- stallation of ofiicers took place. Presi- dent-elect Eobert J. Windier had not yet returned from his bridal trip. Vice- President-elect F. Vennemann was duly installed and relieved President Con- non of the chair. Then followed the installation of Secretary Beneke, Treasurer Smith and Trustee Frank Weber, and the new officers proceeded with the meeting. The question box brought out a good discussion of several important ques- tions. The next meeting of the club takes place on Thursday afternoon, October 12, and the new officers hope for a large attendance. Various Notes. Messrs. Smith, Geddes, Halstead and Beneke will have charge of the Florists' Club's trip to Chicago October 5. Any members of the club wishing to make the trip should send in their names to any member of the committee. C. C. Sanders is spending a week at West Baden Springs. A few days' rest at the springs should do him much good. The Ayers Floral Co., George Wald- bart and the Metropolitan Floral Co. put in a busy week. The bulk of the work was large funeral designs. The C. Young & Sons Co. has pre- pared plans for one of the finest flower establishments in the west end. They will at once put up a building facing Waterman avenue, using 100 feet of frontage, with the store, thirty feet wide, in the center, and plant show houses on each side, each thirty-five feet wide. When completed, Mr. Young says, it will be one of the most attrac- tive establishments in the country. The downtown store, at Fourteenth and Olive streets, will be retained. The heavy rain and wind storms of Friday, September 15, did considerable damage to fine trees in the parks. J. Shields, on North Florrissant avenue, suffered a loss of nearly $2,000 in his greenhouse plant. The show house of the Eggeling Floral Co., in the rear of the store, was also damaged. William Hartshorne, gardener at the state prison, Joliet, 111., spent Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, vis- iting friends in the trade here. Mr. Hartshorne 's last visit here was during the world's fair year. Belleville, 111., celebrated Belleville day September 15, in which all the florists of that city took part. Otto Sander, who has an up-to-date flower shop in the Century building, has made many impr^ements in his store this summer, which make the place quite attractive. All the Kirkwood growers have near- ly completed the housing of their car- nations and violets. They expect to have large crops of carnations, but violets will not be such a glut this sea- son, as the plants suffered greatly from the dry, hot summer. There will also be a large cut of sweet peas. A lot of new glass was added at Kirkwood this summer and this should make the con- signments large this season. Among the visitors last week were Paul Berkowitz, of Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia; Arnold Eingier, of W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, and Julius Dilloff, of Schloss Bros., New York. Charles Young, of the C. Young & Sons Co., spent last week at Harrisburg, Pa., arranging with the McFarland Publicity Service for an elaborate spring catalogue. J. J. B. Detroit, Mich. — The contract for the new store and conservatory of L. Bemb Floral Co., Albert Pochelon, proprietor, has been let to Bartholomaei & Son at $18,000. North Easton, Mass. — The new green- house of F. Lothrop Ames, on his Washington street estate, is being stocked under the direction of Henry Eaton, who has charge of the house. BOSTON. The Market. The last week has given us the cold- est weather so far experienced this sea- son. Killing frosts occurred Septem- ber 13 to 15 over quite a wide area, which is an exceptionally early date for New England. While asters and other outdoor flowers were considerably damaged and in some cases ruined, there is still an adequate supply ar- riving. Prices show some improve- ment from a week ago, 50 cents per hundred being now about bottom price. The quality at present is excellent. Gladioli are much reduced in number and sweet peas are practically out of the market for the present. Some growers will have flowers from under glass in October, there now being few days in the year when sweet peas are not procurable. Eoses are improving in quality. The colder weather suited them, and the prices are a shade higher. Beauties are good and sell well. So do Mrs Ward, Lady Hillingdon, the two Killarneys and Prince de Bulgarie. Carnations are still limited in number, but each week sees more growers starting to send them in. Lilies are temporarily in short supply. Valley is in good supply. Gold- en Glow still has the field practically to itself among mums, but a few whites are seen. Cattleyas are scarce, but a few labiata have appeared. Tuberoses from outdoors are plentiful, but the call for them is light, as it also is for cosmos, gypsophila and other outdoor flowers. Dahlias are not sold much in the markets here; this year they are largely a failure. A few violets are due to arrive this week. There is no great change in the demand for green supplies. Club Meeting. The first fall meeting of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, September 19, attracted an attendance of 150 mem- bers. Eesolutions were presented and adopted for two deceased members, F. E. Mathieson and John F. Flood. The annual picnic report was read and ap- proved. Prof. E. A. White, of the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College, was pres- ent and spoke on the desirability of a closer alliance between the club and the floricultural department of the college, in order to advance its interests and improve its value, and a committee, con- sisting of J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Thomas Eoland, Eobert Cameron, Peter Fisher, J. A. Pettigrew, Eber Holmes and Wm. Sim, was appointed to act for the club in the matter. Thanks were voted to the Baltimore boys for con- vention courtesies. Eight new members were admitted. Vacation experiences included European travel notes by T. J. Gray, Thomas Pegler and J. W. Collins, but these were cut short to allow members to join the Vegetable Growers' Association of America, which was then in session at horticultural hall. Nearly all the mem- bers accepted the invitation of the V. G. A. and heard interesting lectures from David Lumsden, Durham, N. C, on "French and English Systems of Vegetable Forcing," and from Paul Work, Ithaca, N. Y., a stereopticon lec- ture on marketing. Exhibits at the club meeting included Lorraine begonias and cyclamens, from W. W. Edgar Co., and Viola cornuta purpurea, from E. & J. Farquhar & Co., the latter receiving a report of merit. r "^iF" -rrf^ggj^ry^^^'T'^y-'}^ -,■? -. - .■ ,T>r«^" '^7.:' T^i/.Y-J. T '■, ■ Septembeb 21, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review* 23 Various Notes. Not for many years have we had so early and severe a frost as this season. September 14, 1911, will be well remem- Ijered by dahlia specialists, of whom we have many near Boston. In some cases whole fields were destroyed, which is a serious loss, not alone in the tiowers spoiled, but in the inability to exhibit at the many fairs being held lit this season throughout New Eng- land, which means reduced selling and advertising opportunities. ^ The salesmen for the new Boston Flower Sales Co., M. Hambro and A. McAlpine, are handling some excellent carnations from F. P. Putnam and A, A. Pembroke, £ne roses from Messrs. Ueuter and McAlpine and valley from \Vm. Jurgens. Arnold & Petros, on Boylson street, liave had a nice business this summer. They had a splendid vase of long- stemmed Beauties in the center of their window September 16. S. J.

F. held at Baltimore, a joint conference meeting was held by the American Rose Society, the American' CarnatioiXi'So- ciety and the National Sweet Pe^ So- ciety. The sul^J£!Ct un^er discussion was an early Spring show of all these societies. It was determined to' tr^ to unite the Carnation Society and Rose Society in one exhibition, to be held January 10, 1912. At its rfegular meet- ing the American Rose Society rati- fied this action. The Carnation Society, having set a date later in the month, awaited final action by its board of di- rectors, which is given. So that the dal^s of January 10 to 12, 1912, are fixed for the annual exhibition of the two societies, to be held in Detroit. Philip Breitmeyer has given assurance that everything possible will be done locally to make the exhibition success- ful. The prize schedule of the Rose Society will be prepared and published without delay. The two medals of the American Rose Society, awarded to the Minneapolis Rose Society, and at the Annandale Rose Show, have been properly in- scribed, cased and delivered. The gold medal voted to M. H. Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass., in recognition of the work done by him in the develop- ment of the climbing rose, is under way. ■''Trlui,4s the second gold medal awarded" in the history of the American Rose Society.

At the meeting organizing the West- ern Dahlia and Gladiolus Association it was resolved that an adjourned oue should be held in Indianapolis, Septem- ber 26, for the purpose of perfecting plans for the future of the associatiou and of making a first exhibition of flowers. To accomplish this purposi,', every arrangement is being made to make a Success of that meeting. The exhibition of flowers will be made at the store of A. Wiegand & Sons, 1610 North Illinois street. Ex- hibits sent to that address will be properly taken care of and placed iu position by them. Arrangements have been made with the Denison hotel as headquarters for the meeting, with accommodations ranging from $1 to $4 per day. No premiums will be offered this year. This meeting, however, will be preliminary to one to be held in Chi- cago next 5'ear, at which the society will offer a full premium list. The as- sociation hopes to have a large display of flowers at this meeting and will much^Opreciate an exhibit from any reada^t \rhose interested in growing dahilflPShd gladioli are ^icited to l^e- come members of the association. W. W. Woollen, Secy. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There has been a rather considerable change in the market situation since last report, due almost entirely to au interruption of the cut of asters. The heavy storm, September 18, resulted in reducing the local aster supply to a mere fraction of what it has been in recent weeks and the following days saw the market only lightly supplied with asters that were good enough to meet the requirements of the trade. The same factor also curtailed the rapidly diminishing receipts of gladioli. As one wholesaler expressed it, "the asters and gladioli were buried in the same grave." Sincfe bright, warm weajher followed the storm, asters W{ere. again arriving in steadily increas- ing quantity by the middle of the week, so that unless the predicted oha'hge in weather conditions materializes soon there will be plenty of asters again within a few days. Business shows a steady, though not rapid improvement. The number of buyers heard from has increased no- tably within the last week. Pretty nearly everyone is now calling for stock, but not in large quantities as yet. The supplies of American Beauties have decreased and thui, „coupled with some increase in the demand, has re- sulted in "some hardening of prices. Most of th»«^rders call for the better grades of roses. There is only light de- mand for short roses and these con- tinue to sell at prices that are extreme- ly low. The bulk of the buyers want the medium length. Although warm weather has resulted in considerable open stock, the quality of most of the roses is unusually good for this date. Maryland, in particular, has come to t^e front strongly in the last few daj^s. Bulgarie also shows much improvemeat. Killarney and White Killarney leave nothing to be desired. Moderate quan- tities are seen of DWftle Pink Killarney and Deep p^tiTt Trnimm y.^he latter being among tile mOBt popular roses at Sbptbubbb 21, 1911. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 25 HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN GET KILLARNEYS Fine Heads on Every Length of Stem It is well for buyers to remember that usually the longer the stem, the larger and finer the flower, but our Killarneys and White Killarneys carry fine heads on all lengths — good flowers on the short stems and the very flnest of flowers on the " special " lengths. We always have a large supply. None better anywhere, and few so good. Would you like to have us "show" you ? Send an order and we will do it. BEAUTIES Our cut of Beauties is large and extra fine. Most of the cut runs to medium and long stems. Large heads, splendid color, strong stems, per- fect foliage. Those who are looking for a thoroughly satisfactory supply of Beauties should get acquainted here. CARNATIONS The new crop of Carnations is earlier and finer than the first crop ever has been before. These are as good flowers as one could ask at this date and the stems are good, long enough for any purpose you are likely to want them for. Order some today and see for yourself. Orchids Splendid Cattleyas always on hand, awaiting your order to ship. A big cut from now on. Mums Yellow and white, excellent stock and ofiered at prices that are low for earliest good mums.

For the last few days of last We.ek the carnation presented' the worst pi-oblem th% wholesalers had to face. The receipts were much heavier than is usual at this date, and buyers were n&iog principally asters, which were so cheap and so good that there was little call for carnations. By far the greater part of the receipts had short stems and the average prices returned to some of tie growers made shipping hardly .worth While.

Bobertson is president and Wal- ter W. Adams, secretary and treasurer. The company has leased a store at the corner of Bellevue place and Bush street and will open for business Oc- tober 2. Both members are former employees of the E. Wienhoeber Co. Miss Carrie Torgerson, who is one of Frank Johnson's right-hand men with the A. L. Bandall Co., has returned from a summer's trip to Norway. She sailed June 22 and had a most de- lightful experience. N. J. Wietor, whose trotter is one of the fastest on the Eidge avenue boulevard, has an attack of motoritis. He is spending considerable time in automobile row because there are so many really fine cars that it is hard for a horseman to make a choice. W. J. Smyth returned to the store September 18, intending to give it his undivided attention and full time for the next ten months. July 15 he left for a six weeks' California trip, and since his return has been at Lake Marie, where he has a summer home.

There is decidedly more activity in the flower market than at any time during the last three months. The dahlia is the principal flower today and the local stores have used it largely in decora- tion, generally of one color. The ship- ping orders have been for dahlias, or include dahlias with other flowers. The quality of the stock offered is extremely fine. Dahlias, of superb size and color, with stems from fifteen to twenty-four inches 1»»^, are the order rather than the exception. ' I do not mean by this that most of 'the dahlias grade asi^ fancy, but I do mean that £ancy dahlias ^n be .^obtained by aftyone wtio Requires the»y-^ ^^-* pried that is certainly reasonable, everything considered. The buyers have discovered that the way to obtain good dahlias is to order them in advance, so' that the order may be packed by the grower. This avoids handling and adds enormously to the keeping quality of the flowers. There lias been a little run on Beauties, indicative, people say, of Fashion's return from the resorts. Be that as it may, Beauties have sold well at listed prices and are probably bet- ter value than any other rose. The other roses are improving, Kaiserin, Maryland and the Killarneys leading, with the weather rather a. trifle too warm yet for Bichmond. Melody is coming in and Princeton is expected. Alma Ward has been joined in the fancy class of carnations by O. P. Bas- sett and Mrs C. W. Ward, but there are few fancies and not many more select, while the gulf between the select and ordinary grade is so broad that few of the retailers with critical custom care to cross it. Ofchids are increasing rapidly; they have steadily sold down from $9 two weeks ago, t<\ $7.20 and now to $6- a dozen. The demand at the lower price is equal to the supply. Valley is in fair supply, with but little selling above $3. Easter lilies are rather scarce, .many of the growers being cut out. Single violets have come. Golden Glow chrys- anthemums are a trifle more plentiful; they are not in demand. Autumn foliage has arrived. Summing up, the supj^y of choice flowers, exceptiop; possib^ the smaller roses, is abodl^qual to demand; the supply of poor flowers is greatly in ex- cess of the demand. The summer flow- ers, like gladioli, are about over. As- ters only retain their hold on popular favor, a hold that always seems to out- live their season. There are plenty of poor asters that nobody wants, but there are not enough good ones. Oodfrey Asclimann. There are unmistakable signs of progress at ten-twelve Ontario street. Godfrey Aschmann has. acquired an- other property and iHff ^' also a specialty. Mr. Campbell has been afflicted with wandering cats, who break his plants.

Roses have been dropped for lack of room. Thomas Holland has returned from his vacation in Maine, to resume charge of the Century Flower Shop No. 2. Dah- lias of fine quality are features there. Albert E. Maurer, recently with John C. Gracey, is now with W. W. Crawford. Miss Eva Fletcher has returned from a six weeks' trip to England and Scot- land. Vast icebergs were encountered on the return voyage. The Leo Niessen Co. have postponed the opening of the new business home at Twelfth and Race streets until Mon- day, September 25. Edward Reid left September 19 for two or three weeks' trip in the south. Mr. Reid says that he cannot settle down to business for the winter with- out calling on his friends in the sunny south. Joseph G. Neidinger has increased his office room to afford additional facili- ties. He also has made other improve- ments during the summer. Mr. Neid- inger reports business starting encour- agingly. William Stevens, who represents John Burton, reappeared in town last week with Beauties and Chatenay. Mr. Stevens' coming is a sign of the open- ing of the swfson, as the swallow is of spring. Z Pennock Bros, had a handsome dis- play of Lyndhurst dahlias, scarlet, in their window this week. There is a most successful law firm in New York whose senior partner 's whole duty is to greet the clients cheerily, soothe the grumpy, calm the violent. This firm is brought vividly to mind by a visit to Henry F. Michell.

The Market. The first frost of the season came September 14, but it did little damage and there is still an abundance of out- door flowers. Business continues to be good and social functions are increasing in numbers.

Gardenias and bouvardias have begun to come in, but there is little demand for them. The first dahlias of the sea- son arrived this week and they are fairly good. Orchids of all kinds are rare, and there is quite a little call for them. Quite a number of the fall garden flowers are selling well just now, such as salvias, tritomas, helianthus, gaill- ardias, blue sage. Clematis paniculata, marigolds, wild asters and phlox. Boston ferns are in great demand, as well as the many offshoots of this popu- lar variety. Asters are on the down- ward trend. Valley is still good stock. WILLIAM J. SMYTH FLORIST. Cor.

Sir Francis Moore, director of the Dublin, Ireland, Botanical Gardens, is soon to visit Eochester, The Eochester public seems aroused and eager to have another flower show this fall, several articles having appear- ed in the newspapers last week urging the Eochester Florists' Association to repeat the show given last year. At the meeting of the association held Septem- ber 11, the advisability of holding an- other flower show was discussed and the matter was finally left in the hands of the exhibition committee, consisting of C. H. Vick, F. J. Keller, A. H. Salter, E. P. Wilson, E. E. Frey, F. E. Schlegel, J. M. Keller, E. Ballantyne, C. B. Ogs- ton and Chas. Suhr. This committee is to report its decision at a special meet- ing to be held within two weeks. At the last meeting President Geo. B. Hart spoke in favor of an exhibition, while W. L. Keller, treasurer, and A. H. Salt- er were heard in opposition. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Suhr, who have been touring in Europe this summer, are with us once more. The Industrial Exposition promises to give the local florists several jobs in decorating. J. B. Keller Sons have booked a number of orders in advance. E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock- Meehan Co., was in town last week. M, Adler, of New York city, called on the Eochester trade last week. Frank MacLewis has returned from his eastern trip. ,T. M.

Seattle, Wash.— The Seattle Cut Flower Exchange has been opened at 909-11 Post street, to do a general wholesale and commission business in cut flowers, plants and greens. L. P. Walz is president and J. A. Schnapp manager. Monrovia, Cal. — C. A. Brunger, who has greenhouses and large grounds on East Greystone avenue, in this city, has opened a branch store at 337 South Spring street, Los Angeles. For some years Mr. Brunger was chief gardener for the Agricultural Department iat Washington, D. C. His business here has developed rapidly. A FLORISTS' CLIMB. .T. G. Bacher, the well known grower of Portland, Ore., climbed Mount Hood, elevation 11,250 feet, as a part of his summer vacation, making a number of photographs on the way. Speaking of the trip, he says: "It had long been my desire to vis- it the glaciers of Mount Hood, and as the hot weather offered little induce- ment to stay in the greenhouses, we decided to go there. Taking the auto stage for a scenic ride of about fifty- eight miles over some real western roads, of which many miles consisted of planking eight feet wide, winding through heavily timbered valleys, we landed at Rhododendron, a hotel of rather rustic construction, being built wholly of split cedar, in bungalow style, and located in a narrow valley surrounded by high mountains. This little resort is an ideal spot in which to rest. As its name indicates, rhodo- dendrons are at home here. The under- growth consists almost wholly of this attractive evergreen, with here and there a few specimens of the rare and characteristic chinkapin or Castanopsis chrysophylla. From here a tramp of nine miles is necessary to get to the government camp, the last resort before climbing the mountain. "After one night's rest, early morn- ing finds us afoot crossing the last four miles of timber, where trees are dwarfed by tLo high altitude and rig- orous climate, but are most charming in shape and color, especially the tsugas and alpine firs. The herbaceous vegetation is becoming more attractive. Aster Bigelovii being in full bloom in many different shades. As the timber line is reached, the beautiful Tyalls lupine becomes conspicuous, with its silvery white foliage and blue flower clusters, as well as another dwarf aster of the alpinus type, but unknown to the writer. However, vegetation is rather scarce above the timber line, and one mile farther up snow and ice are reached. Here the atmosphere be- comes much cooler and climbing is more inviting, inasmuch as no difficulties are to be overcome, the altitudes rising gradually. The view becomes more ex- tensive at every step, but, look as far as you will, the mountains and val- leys are covered by timber, with sel- dom a clearing where settlers are sub- duing the •wilderness. Such is Oregon around Mount Hood. "Returning over the glacier, we ob- served with great interest the many cracks in the ice, many of them twenty Qro-wn PfirlOO Beacon $1.00 O. P.

As we came down we stopped in the huckleberry belt, where a full crop was on and the original Indians from the Warm Spring reservation were harvesting loads of the savory berries. As we stopped later at a trading post, old Jim, of local reputation, came in with four squaws and ten ponies, to sell thirty-eight and one-half gallons of huckleberries, gath- ered in two and one-half days by his 'faithfuls.' The price received was 65 cents per gallon, which is not bad earn- ings for a family of this kind.

Mums are scarce; the early benches are en- tirely cut out. Shipments from Cali- fornia come through in fairly good -shape. Various Notes. The Routledge Seed & Floral Co. had an exhibit of dahlias at the Salem, Ore., fair last week. N. B. Healy had charge of the exhibit. Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer ■& Co., called on the trade last week. E. Meyer is in town, securing ma- terials for greenhouse construction. He is building a range at Grants Pass, •Ore., and will conduct a retail flower and nursery business. He was formerly in charge of L. W. McCoy's green- houses, in Seattle. A. S. Barnes is also opening a retail -store at Grants Pass, Ore. Martin & Forbes report the comple- tion, except ip a few minor details, of the first section of their new range. The addition will consist of four houses, .each 32x200, which will be devoted principally to roses and carnations. E. R. C. SAN FEANCISCO. The Market. With several holidays sandwiched in Jast week, business was nbt -anything to brag of. These days of prtblic re- joicing may be for the good of man- kind in general, but they are not to the pecuniary benefit of the florists in par- ticular. Whether this is the only rea- son or not, it is a fact that trade thus far in September has been quiet. The only difl'erences noticeable in the flower Jine is that carnations are a shade more plentiful and longer stemmed and that inside chrysanthemums are in greater evidence. Asters are holding on nicely and are still quite abundant. Sweet peas are commencing to show the effects of the long nights and are neither up to form nor color. Other sorts of outside stock do not seem to show much alteration. Amaryllis, however, of the early variety is over and the later kinds are not yet at their best. Valley is easier and Japanese lilies are on the wane. L. auratum is holding on longer this season than any of the other lilies, but the public does not buy them so readily. Quite a few Princess of Wales violets are seen, but they do not keep well and will not be- come much of a factor until the cold weather starts. Various Notes. M. H. Ebel, of Sacramento, and Miss Marie Ij. Dougherty, of this city, were united in marriage September 7, by Rev. A. Jatho, of the Lutheran church of Oakland. C. C. Morse & Co. expect to be in their new Market street store by Sep- tember 25. The Sievers-Cornwell Co. has retired from the retail trade and the store oc- cupied by this firm on the corner of Powell and O'Farrell streets will be de- voted to other lines of trade. George B. Jones, one of San Fran- i-'isco's pioneer retailers, is now a resi- dent of Sausalito. He has been in deli- cate health for several years. E. Wagner, a well known bulb grow- er of San Leandro, was robbed of $30 by a couple of crooks over in Oakland several days ago. The local police cap- tured and jailed the robbers. G.

A TORNADO' ^ Iron Gutter Houses ^^£st No. 1.— Note that the houses shown above, built on Garland IRON gutters, remained standing; reglazing and replacing a few sashbars will make them as good as new. The two photographs reproduced above show the path of a tornado that struck the range of Peter Rein- berg, that of George Reinberg and the one operated by Chas. Handel (known as the Schafer place) early Mon- day morning, September 18, 1911. Photo No. 1 shows Peter Reinberg's houses. These were all built on Garland Iron Gutters and they remained standing. Photo No. 2 shows the range operated by Chas. Handel and back of it the establishment of George Reinberg, just across the street from the others. These houses were built with wooden gutters and they went fiat to the ground. • At the extreme right rear of the first illustration appear the same demolished wooden gutter houses that are shown in the middle background at the right of the secoi^d illustration. These three ranges received the equal force of the storbi and show conclusively that Houses Buiit OH Garland Iron Guttefs Will Stand when wooden gutter houses let go. Garland Gutters are now made semi-malleable. They are stronger and more durable than any other gutters known. ii use TH The Geo. M. Lock Box R, D i^ V iT.'" , ' y- * . 'I Septkmber 21, 1011. The Weekly Florists^ Review* > Wooden Gutter Houses No. 2. — Note the destruction wrought here, where wooden gutters were in use; many of the houses were completely demolished and must be entirely rebuilt. While the two photographs teach a big lesson to prospective buyers of greenhouse material, an even greater lessoh than is shown at first glance is provided. It brings out this pertinent question: If the iron gutter houses stand under the same strains that demolish the wooden gutter houses, how much stronger would the former houses be if iron frame construction had been used throughout? It is practically certain 'that with Garland iron frame construction all the sashbars would have held also and the only damage would then have been the broken glass. Peter Reinberg estimates his loss at $20,000 and all his houses were left standing. George Reinberg's loss is much heavier.

The farther one gets along with the pea cleaning, the worse the season's re- sults appear to be. Paper White narcissi are reported as having sold well, though there is now a lull in the demand. Harrisii bulbs have sold quite well. The crop is about all in and no great quantity remains unplaced. Arnold Eingier, of W. W. Barnard Co., has returned to Chicago after a trip through Canada and the east. A FEW French bulbs still are coming in via Genoa, the S. S. Princess Irene having brought eight eases September 13, consigned to Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne. The catalogue makers are getting busy and some of them find it necessary to revise plans for the features of 1912 books. The question of prices will come up later. The S. S. Boma, from Marseilles, which reached New York September 11, brought 308 cases of French bulbs and twenty cases of immortelles, consigned to C. J. Speelman & Son. In spite of the short crop of sweet pea seeds, it appears that California has better average crops this year than has any other important seed growing center anywhere in the world. The customs officials are still reliqui- dating last year's entries of hyacinth bulbs in accordance with the Breck de- cision. The last seedsman to get his al- lowance of $2 per thousand put through was H. Waterer, Philadelphia. H. N. Bruns, Chicago, whose importa- tions of valley pips run annually above the million mark, has a brother in the Hamburg district who advises him that the heat wave, that visited Germany after it left this country, has done no little injury to the valley pip crop, injuring the quality as well as reducing the quan- tity.

There vrere other matters brought into the suit, and in order to understand it the complete decision is necessary: "1. Sales-Warranty. Where a dealer in seeds sold seeds in a pack- age, Witt the printed statement that the seeds were sold with- out any warranty, express or im- plied, and it was the general custom of dealers in seeds to sell tilth disclaimer of warranty as to quality, ot true name, a warranty that the seed sold was true to name could not be inferred. ' ' 2. Sales-Liability. A canning com- pany contracting to purchase pumpkins raised on a tract of land, and to fur- nish the seed therefor at its own cost, must furnish seed to produce the kind of pumpkins suitable fs>r^^ canning pur- ])oses, and it is liable for the damages sustained in consequence of furnishing other seed, whether it exercised due care in procuring proper seed or not. ."Appeal from District Court, Pot- tawattamie County. ' ' Action for damages resulted in the dismissal of plaintiff's petition, from which it appeals. Affirmed in part. Keversed in part. "Blizzard Bros., a copartnership, en- tered into a written contract with the Growers' Canning Co. to plant and properly cultivate three acres of pump- kins, all of which he agreed to deliver to the factory of said company in good condition for canning purposes, dur- ing the cropping season of 1908; the seed to be furnished to said growers by said company at cost. All pumpkins -were to be ripe and sound, and fair size, for which said company agreed to pay $4 per ton. They called on the company for seed, but this was out, and its general manager inquired by telephone of the Younkerman Seed Co. if it had the large Cheese pumpkin seed, and being informed that it had, said he would send a man up to get a pound of such seed. At his instance Blizzard Bros, then went to the seed company's place of business and in- quired if a package of large Cheese pumpkin seed was there for them. A clerk of the seed company responded in the affirmative, and handed them a pound package on which was written 'Large Cheese Pumpkin Seed.' Some question was raised whether the pur- chase was by the manager individually, or by him for the company. It is enough to say, without reviewing the evidence, that he was merely acting for the com- pany and, regardless of book entries^ the sale was to the latter.

Our stocks of Christmas- Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the larg- est growers of this increas- ingly popular flower, as to the trueness and quality of our seed, earliness of bloom- ing period, and strength and habit of plants. The following varieties are the "best by test" and include Zvolanek's and our own introductions, grown for seed from selected stocks by the leading California Growers and Specialists of Sweet Peas.

These being unfit for canning purposes, the canning company refused to receive them and plaintiflf realized therefrom but $29.75. Had the seed been true to name the several witnesses estimated that from sixteen to twenty-five tons of pumpkins per acre would have been produced and plaintiflf demanded judg- ment against the canning company for what they would have realized from the crop, had the seed been true to name, Jess the proceeds of the crop actually raised. The seed company was made a party defendant on motion of the canning company. The canning com- pany also answered denying liability and in a cross petition alleged the fault, if any, to be that of the seed company, and prayed for such judgment against it as might be entered against the cross petitioner. The seed company in its answer, among other things pleaded that it was the general custom of dealers in seeds to sell with disclaimer of warranty as to quality, or whether true to name, and that on all packages were customarily printed the following: 'Warranty. While we exercise great care to have all seeds pure and reliable and true to name, our seeds are sold with- out any warranty, express or implied, and without any responsibility in re- spect to the crop. If our seeds are not accepted on these terms, they must be returned at once.' Jury was waived and on trial the petition and cross-pe- tition dismissed. "(1) The alleged liability of the Younkerman Seed Co. may be consid- ered first. The evidence that a general custom, such as pleaded, prevails in the seed trade was conclusive. The par- ticular package had the printed matter thereon, and though this may not have been noticed, the sale is presumed to have been negotiated with reference to the general custom of the trade. This being so, a warranty that the seed was true- to name could not be in- ferred and the court rightly found in favor of the Younkerman Seed Co. "(2) A diflferent question arises on the claim against the Growers' Canning Co. It undertook in its contract with plaintiflf to furnish the seed. What kind of seed! The kind is not ex- pressly stated in the contract, but, as the pumpkins to be raised therefrom were to be suitable for canning pur- poses, the clear implication is that the ew DDtcn Bums Tulips PerlOOO La Rein*, mother bulbs $8.00 La Relna, fine stock 6.50 Goldflnoli, finest forcing yellow 7.25 Yellow Prtnoa 7.25 Murlllo, double pink 8.50 Write for prices on your entire list of Dutch Bulbs Stock is very fine.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1 4 Early in the season of 1911 the French bulb crop was not expected to be nearly as Utgz as consequehces have proved. In order to protect his customers^ Mr. Martial Bremond made arrangements for a larger number of bulbs than he required, owing to the an'icipated crop shortage. Late in the season the weather conditions enabled the growers to harvest a larger crop than was expected, thereby throwing a surplus on Mr. Bremond's hands late in the season. Such occurrences are not very unusual, but it has been customary for jobbers and very large growers to absorb such surpluses, thus giving the few the f advantage of such a favorable market and exclud- ing the smaller grower from an equal right. After some careful consider- ation we have decided to extend to the trade in general the opportunity of taking advantage of just such a situation, without at the same time over- loading any one market knowingly, or putting to disadvantage our customers. The prices are for everyone alike; absolutely rock-bottom — counter offers will not be answered and the offer will not be repeated. This is a very unusual opportunity for growers to buy strictly high grade bulbs at low prices and is a chance that does not occur every year. The following prices pertain to case lots only— 10 9^ additional for less than case quantities. Terms, three months net, or cash with order from unknown buyers. Paper White Grandifflora, 13 ctm„ upward, at $ 6.00 per tOOO. or at 55.00 per 10,000. or at 500.00 per 100,000. Packed 1250 and 1350 per case.

Any shipments unsatisfactory may be returned and money will be refunded promptly.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, hut is grown for us by a few selected grow- ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted no fresh manure is used; thu pevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed of w^e shall have no more to offer. While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest^ur prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stodk gatfiered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbi, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. ^ 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000 4np FERNS We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties- good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the most critical buyers.

They allege that Van Glahn allowed dividends to be paid when none had been earned, and say that Van Glahn gave out fraudu- lent statements to commercial agencies, saying that the company was in flour- ishing condition when it really was insolvent. He is said to have repre- s^ted that the company had earned and paid seven per cent dividends every year, and said that the company had assets of thousands of dollars in excess of liabilities. The plaintiffs say that Mr. White is a man of large wealth and wide reputa- tion as a successful business man, and that his name as director lent weight to the company and stimulated its credit, whereas he left the business entirely in the hands of Van Glahn, the president and general manager.

FLOWEEFIELD, N. Y. A little over a year ago a thousand ijcres, nearly, of scrub oak and unculti- vated farm land! Now a paradise of flowers! The transition is wonderful! This growing industry is in charge of Isaac S. Hendrickson, the president of the American Gladiolus Society. Flowerfield is fifty miles from New York, on the L. I. R. R., and one mile from the sound. It has its own sta- tion and postoflSce, and John Lewis Ohilds, of Floral Park, provided the "wherewithal" for every modern con- venience, including an immense bulb house 90 X 200 and a cellar 50 x 90, with a storage house now building, for 100,000 cannas.

Our aim is strong growers, that don't have to be petted to be grown into a choice salable plant — a well built, five petaled flower (many of them at one time), with well marked foliage; every plant an ideal, a prize-winner.

J. W. Pui,UAM has purchased a third interest in the Northern Colorado Nursery Co., at Loveland, Colo. The fall season promises well for the wholesale nurserymen. Autntnn planting is increasing faster than spring planting. The late rains have done nursery stock a lot of good, coming after one of the driest and hottest summers in recent years. Immense quantities of California privet will have to find a market be- tween now and spring. Production has taken a big jump this season. The Greening Nursery Co., Monroe, Mich., was established in a small way in 1883. The growth has been steady. The officers now are: President, Charles E. Greening; vice-president, Benjamin J.

Klrkpatrlck, of McKinney, Tex., reail at the convention of the American Association of Nurserymen in St. Louis, Juno 14 to 16, 1911.] The trade list of the responsible nurseryman should go to responsible dealers only. Planters can afford to pay more profitable prices to the nur- seryman than can the dealers. Nur- serymen, under a ruinous system of competition, sell their stock at bank- rupt prices. The result is cheap methods, cheap trees, and cheap men. The scientific originator, the skillful propagator and grower, the careful handler and honest distributor, should receive due reward for their service. The careless, unreliable grower or dealer in nursery stock should not be recognized by the legitimate grower. Peonies, German Iris A CHOICE COlLEaiON OF COMMERCIAL VARIETIES WILD BROS.

Will you kindly tell us which is bet- ter for lettuce — raised benches with heat underneath or solid beds with heat on the sidef We grow the Grand Rapids variety. M. B. There are few vegetable crops that will not do better on raised benches with heat underneath than on solid beds. They come into crop more quickly, and time is money, especially in winter, with the greenhouse man. The question is whether or not the raised benches pay. They are expen- sive to build and keep in repair. Most of the larger growers now grow their lettuce on the solid ground beds. H. G. Trade Maik.

Bain continues to fall about every other day. Funeral work holds up well. Stock is none too plentiful. Asters are short and of inferior quality. There are some dahlias to be had, but the heavy rains play havoc with them. Carnations are improving in quality, but the stems are short. There are not enough lilies to go around. Some Cat- tleya labiata are to be seen, but not in any quantity. Brides and Maids are still small. Killarneys and Beauties are of much better quality. A number of store openings this week and next will enliven things a little for the florists who handle palms. The I. O. O. F. encampment here this week called for thousands of roses and car- nations. Various Notes. The Bertermann Bros Co. furnished the roses for the opening of Marott's shoe store. Baur & Steinkamp took out a build- ing permit for a new barn this week. This firm has been cutting some of the best carpatious seen in this market. William Hartje, with H. W. Eieman, injured himself while jumping out of a wagon recently, but is able to be about again. Will Roepke is the proud father of a new 12-pound boy. The Western Gladiolus and Dahlia Society is to have a meeting in this city September 26, to perfect plans for the future of the society and to hold an ex- hibition of flowers. The headquarters for the meeting will be at the Denison hotel and the exhibition is to be held in A. Wiegand & Sons' conservatories. Exhibits sent in care of A. Wiegand & Sons will be properly staged. Carl Sonnenschmidt says he has a prize-winning bull dog with a pedigree about two yards long, and that the animal ought to take some premiums at the different dog shows this fall. Sam Seligman, with Wertheimer Bros., and B. H. Klus, of Anderson, were visitors last week. The State Florists' Association is to hold its October meeting at ^ew Cas- tle, October 3. It is expected 'nmt this will be a banner meeting, as the New Castle florists are noted for their hos- pitality. Henry Bieman was busy with store decorations last week, having furnished the palms for the New York store open: ing. Lester Benson won the pony adver- tised by the Marott department store. H. L. W. West Medway, Mass. — Robert Dough- erty, on Lincoln street, will build an- other carnation house, 24x100, this fall.

Jack Frost has not yet shown him- self, much to the annoyance of the floristB. t'he first days of last week were, without exception, the hottest this summer, and all outdoor flowers continue to flourish. Asters are sold for whatever can be obtained. Judg- ing from the quantity and the price they bring, it would seem that every- body who has a few growing in his yard is bringing them to town and selling them for little or nothing. One good frost would put an end to this. One florist was heard to say last week that the more he talked about the frost that is bound to come soon, the hot- ter it got, so he was going to stop thinking about it. Carnations are hard to move, but we can blame the asters again. When they are out of the way, carnations will take a front seat. Chrysanthemums are on the market, both the cut blooms and the plants, but there is little demand for them. But little stock is being shipped. All the out-of-town florists seem to have all the asters and roses needed, and their orders are mostly for Beauties and lily of the valley. There are plen- ty of good Beauties, but it is almost impossible to get valley at any price. Only a small quantity is being forced, and it is generally sold before it is ready to cut. Various Notes. Thfe interior of the Elitch-Long store has been newly decorated and painted. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Kennedy spent a few days last week at Buffalo Park. H. J. Berry is building a large re- frigerator in his store at 613 Fifteenth street. The Barteldes Seed Co. had a real fire sale for several days after the building was turned over to them by the insurance company. They sold all florists' supplies at greatly reduced prices, and in this way cleaned out some lines quickly. There have been many changes among the employees in the different stores lately. Thomas McDonald is with William Speth; H. F. Schulze has left the Elitch-Long flower store and is with H. J. Berry, and Mrs. A. G. Robinson is in charge of Geo. H. Cooper's Broadway store. The building at Fifteenth and Chey- enfae street, a portion of which has been occupied by W. C. Walter for several months, has been sold. It will be torn down shortly, and a fine hotel will be erected. D. Marsh, of La Junta, called on the trade here recently. M. R. J. POINSETTIA HEADQUARTERS Best time now for panning.

Asters have been good, but are now almost gone. Dah- lias are rather scarce and sell readily. ^ Various Notes. The Ifumfeld-Orear Floral Co. re- ports that business is fast growing in volume. Ferns sell especially well. Their stock is in excellent shape and their Lorraine begonias are particularly fine. Mr. Orear has been quite busy with wedding decorations. A new cut flower store has been opened at Thirty-first street and Brook- lyn avenue, under the name of the Lynnwood Floral & Nursery Co. The location is a favorable one and there is ia= prospect, of good business there. ' A visit to Clay Center, Kan., found C, Humfeld quite busy putting up fu- neral work, of which he has had a good run all summer, mostlj^ for shipment to other towns. His roses are doing splendidly this season. His carnations are in excellent shape. His asters are fine. His outdoor verbena stock is the best the writer has ever seen.

Mention The Review when you write. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. The Market. While this has been a bad season on the Board Walk, in a business way, be- cause of the rush of prosperous Amer- icans to the coronation in England, the trade in flowers has been good. There are really but two poor months in the year in Atlantic City. Trade gets good in February and attains its most pros- perous state at and around Easter time, when the big hotels decorate lav- ishly, their bills at that time running to $1,000 and $1,100 in individual cases for plants and cut flowers. There is practically no wholesaling in Atlantic City, the trade being sup- plied chiefly from Philadelphia and New York. Various Notes. One of the leading firms here is the Edwards Floral Hall Co., established in 1883. It is located at 1700 Pacific ave- nue, and has its own nurseries at Mediterranean and South Carolina avenues. D. B. Edwards, president of the company, was in New York when the representative of The Eeview called, but his gentlemanly manager reported that trade was better than ever before and that the spring trade had been particularly good. This firm recently purchased an auto delivery wagon, to enable it to keep up with its increasing business. One of the big- gest contracts of the year, that of sup- plying plants and flowers and decorat- ing the steel pier for the street railway convention in October, has been cap- tured by the Edwards Floral Hall Co., and it was to secure stock for this contract that Mr. Edwards had to go to New York. Privet hedging, various kinds of palms, ferns, bay trees and wild smilax will be the chief items in the decorative scheme. Of the smilax forty cases will be used, and 600 boxes of cedar wood and birch bark will be employed. American Beauties, orchids and other cut flowers will be used, par- ticularly at the balls. A. Littman, who likes to be known as "the floral artist," has an attract- ive show place on the Board Walk, where he displays air plants and pre- pared ferns, leaves and mosses, as well as natural plants and cut flowers. The original features in his displays at- tract much attention. F.J. D.

" Our satisfied customers are our best advertisement." One customer who has been dealing with us for years sent in an order for $1500.00 worth of Palms without seeing them. Another, whose order last year amounted to $700.00, gave us an order for $1600.00 this year. Send for our new booklet and give us a trial order. Lay in your Palms in September, while you can have them shipped by freight. Our facilities for shipping are of the best. We ship by freight to every state in the Union. We have 40^ more glass this year. Most of it is devoted to Palms. We are particularly strong in the larg^er sisea (7, 9 and 12-inch). We grow all our Kentias above 6-inch size in cedar tubs made especially for us, avoiding breakage of pots in shipment and gri^Ii^ff better results to our customers; and, while they cost us several times what pots would cost, we sell them for the same money. They are the neatest, lightest and best tub ever introduced. Painted green, with three electric-welded wire hoops. We order these tubs by the carload. ■ Order Now for Fall Delivery When in Philadelphia, call and see our stock before blacing your order; 20 minutes' ride by rail, 60 trains each way every week-day.

Raamussen, the New Albany grower, displayed some good roses and carnations at the fair. The Kentucky Nursery Co. sent sev- eral loads of shubbery to the fair grounds, to be used to beautify the space around the modern school building. It was a good ad for the firm, as two large signs told where the stock came from. Jacob Schuiz displayed some jar- dinieres, baskets and other accessories, which made a hit. Mrs. M. D. Reimers' collection of evergreens was a "classy" lot. Mrs. C. B. Thompson displayed a new line of jardinieres and baskets, which were adipired by the crowds. Mrs. M. D. Seimers and Jacob Schuiz got the cream of the prizes, the former getting twenty-ttrfe ribbons out of twenty-seven entries and the latter winning thirteen times in fifteen en- tries. K. E.

OHIO HOUSE. 1 am building a small greenhouse, 22x60 feet, four and one-half feet to the eaves and eleven feet to the ridge. It runs east and west. The north wall, ten feet of the west end and five feet of the east end will be built of 8-inch tile blocks, laid in cement; the south wall and the rest of the ends and gables will be of ship-lap construction. I may, however, use glass in the east end. We sometimes have a few days of zero weather here. The maximum temperature required will probably be about 60 to 65 degrees. Would a hot water boiler that is rated at 650 square feet of radiation be sufficient to heat the house? What size and what ttumber of flows arid returns should be used and how should they be placed f J. C. M. For a temperature of 65 degrees in zero weather, a greenhouse 22x60 feet will need about 540 square feet of radiat- ing surface, so that there should be no difficulty in heating it with a boiler hav- ing a rating for 650 square feet. Two 2»4-inch flow pipes could be used, but it Would be better to have three if heat is needed under the middle benches, as is usually advisable. With three flows use twelve 2-inch returns, locating four on each wall and four under the benches. One flow could be upon each plate and the other under the ridge. f OVEBHAULTNG THE SYSTEM. Having recently purchased a green- house, I now find I must overhaul or reinstall the heating plant. I have a hot water system, but there are several complete traps in the piping, so that there are but three l^/^-ineh pipes that could carry any water; the rest would either be dead or extremely sluggish on account of faulty piping. I understand that last winter the plants as well as the city water froze in the greenhouse. We have an upright boiler of about five horse-power, and 1%-inch pipes, both flows and returns. The greenhouse is 2.'5x4Q. with 7-foot walls and stands «a8t^md west. The south wall and htfth «ads are about half boards and half glass, while the north wall is all boards. The winds come from the west, as a rule, but sometimes there are cold east winds. The boiler room is con- nected at the northeast corner, between the greenhouse and my dwelling;. There ia one bench around the north side, east end and south side; also two benches running lengthwise, through the center, and three aisles.

The Market. There is an air of expectation every- where in the trade. The feeling is bet- ter than it was last week and, while there is not much more real money being handled, everyone feels that the period of dullness is practically over. Funeral work was heavy September 19. Stock is coming in better. The aster market was practically cleaned up Sep- tember 16. In fact the week closed with some demand for asters unfilled, and this week there was a small sup- ply, with most of those offered poor in quality. Carnations are in better sup- ply and fair as to quality. Valley is going fairly well. Boses are about the same as, for the last two or three weeks. There are many of the short and me- dium grades; in fact, an oversupply, but the better grades are scarce and what are offered meet with a ready sale. Greens are moving fairly well in small lots. Various Notes. S. C. Briggs is supplying the Pen- nock-Meehan Co. with some fine or- chids. His Cattleya labiata is com- ing in strong. He also is cutting On- cidium Eogersii and Dendrobium for- mosum. Fred Gust, a salesman and decorator with the Washington Florists Co., has resigned and gone to Seattle. The Pennock-Meehan Co. has started demolishing the building that occupies the site of its projected new store on New York avenue. Z. D. Blackistone is busy with the al- terations on his building. He expects to have one of the show places of the trade when the alterations are com- pleted. William Marche was unfortunate last week in dislocating his knee cap when his motorcycle skidded, and he is now in bed nursing his injuries. Stanley F. Holland, the Fourteenth street florist, on returning from his va- cation, found that his store had been rented over his head by his landlord, and he is now looking for a new location. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Phillips have re- turned from their vacation and are pre- paring to reopen their store. The building in which the Washing- ton Florists Co. is located is to be sold to settle an estate, but the florist has a lease and will not be obliged to look for a new location for a year or, per- haps, two.

There seems to be some slight im- provement in trade. Stock of all kinds is moving better and the general feeling is that it indicates the beginning of better times. There has been quite a good deal of funeral work during the week, which also helped to clean up con- siderable of the surplus stock. Some fine asters are still coming in, but with them are immense quantities which are not worth shipping. Various Notes. There was a severe storm on the night of September 14, in fact a cloud burst, which caused considerable incon- venience to the growers, as the tracks of the B. & O. railroad and the Butler trolley lines were both washed out and no trains were run until Sunday, caus- ing the growers to drive over a round- about road to get to 'the city with their stock. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. was compelled to haul its flowers to the store in wagons last week, on account of the wash-out on the railroad, giving them a 22-mile drive. Some of the other wholesale houses had to disappoint customers, as they could not ship over the railroad Friday or Saturday on ac- count of the flood. The Schenley Park Conservatories are beginning to rearrange their house for the fall chrysanthemum show. They expect to surpass anything they have ever done, but if they do they wiU have to go some, as their standard is high. Joseph Byerly, one of the office force with Randolph & McClements, was married Thursday, September 14, the bride being Mrs. Lillian Amelia Nied- hammer, o? this city. They left imme- diately for an eastern wedding trip and after October 15 will be at home at 161 Mayflower street. Hoo-Hoo. EAGLE MACHINE WORKS RICHMOND, IND.

Mention The Review when you write, Tl GUPS The method of support for Carnation Plants is either a great expense (if ring or patent sup- ports are used), or if the string with twine method is adopted, it becomes a long, thankless job, to be done over and over each sea- son. Here is a simple device that will remedy both expense and labor. Directions for the use of Fisher Clips Stretch Xo. 18 galvanized wire the length of the bench between each row of carnations, but let the two outside wires over the sides of the bench be of No. 10 galvanized wire. Out No. 18 galvanized wire into lengths the width of your bench and on each end fasten a Fisher Clip. Two men then can walk along each side of the bench and clip the cross wires on the No. 10 side wire with the Fisher Clip just as fast, almost, as they can walk. It is understood, of course, that each cross wire is put between each row of carnations, thus forming in connection with the length wires a square frame or square support for each plant. As the plants grow and need more support a second and even a third set of wire stringers are run in the same manner. When your plants are ready to throw out, just unclip your cross wires and bundle away for use the next season. The Fisher Clip is easily fastened to the side wires, literally with a ' ' grip of steel;" they will not slide, but are warranted to hold just where they are clipped in place. They are made of heavy sheet steel and are copper plated to prevent rusting, and are time savers, for two men working with these clips can string or support as many carnation plants in an hour as it takes two men in five hours using the old white cotton stringing method. Also consider these clips in the light of an investment ; once purchfued they will last as long as you grow carnations. COST or THIS METHOD ^ Calculation based on a bench 100 feet long, 6 feet wide, planted to car- nations, consisting of 6 rows with 120 plants to a row.

The Market. Rain and warm weather have brought the late fall stock in with a rush, and the market ia flooded with dahlias, asters and gladioli. The cool weather preceding this was a big help to stock, but came near finishing outdoor stock. We had heavy white frosts, but not severe enough to do much harm. Car- nations have improved somewhat, especially in the length of stem, but are still scarce and sell well for work. Roses are doing nicely, but are not much in demand as yet. Mums bring a good price and are scarce. Various Notes. Charles Hewson has returned from the state fair, where he had been acting as judge. L. H. Neubeck has added an auto to his business, to take him back and forth to his greenhouses at Williamsville. John Cramer will open a store short- ly on Chippewa street, near Franklin. This corner has lately sprung into prom- inence, owing to the change in route of the principal car lines. It is considered a desirable spot and the move seems to be a good one. As reported in this column last week, Henry Weber has had excellent success with his cyclamen and I find on exam- ination that these plants are among the finest I have ever seen in Buffalo or elsewhere. The largest plants now mea- sure twenty-four inches from tip to tip and are evenly covered with large leaves. The plants which he calls smaller are now in 7-inch pots and are specimens, every one of them. By Christmas he will have some of the finest plants ever grown, without a doubt. R. A. S. Centerville, Ind. — Davis Bros, have completed their new greenhouses. Cypresa is the greatest money Mver discovered in years. Will last at least three times as long as any other wood for bench material. We' can make immediate shipments at all times from •or large stock.

The Weekly Florists' Review. ^ i^^SiB^ »>^tfe»>H^>;fe^^tfc^-^r»>-fe^^ I THE RETAIL l':^^^^®!* FLORIST I CROWNED KING OF FLOATS. The decorating of automobiles has be- come one of the regular and important parts of the retail flower business, but it is one of the classes of work in which the development is not so rapid as it was expected to be, for the reason that it takes a great deal of stock to do a creditable job and many people who get estimates on decorating a big tour- ing car with natural flowers find the cost is more than they wish to spend. The florist cannot do much for the man who wants to pay for covering a car what would be the cost of a really good bouquet for a bride, and there are many such. The accompanying illustration, however, shows what can be done when sufficient expense is incurred. It is a machine decorated by Brown Bros, Vancouver, B. C, for a parade that was a feature of a recent ' ' made in Canada" fair in that city. It took first prize in a line of floats that was three miles long, all autos more or less embellished. The principal interest at- taches to the list of stock used. The first item was 6,000 Enchantress car- nations, but there were 1,800 arti- ficial roses. Two bales of moss were required for the frame of the crown, with quantities of cotton batting, rib- bon, chiffon, etc. Another point that must not be overlooked in estimating on such a job is the work required. The frame was eight feet long, six feet wide and eight feet high. When in position it stood twelve feet above the ground. Every floWer had to be wired on, so that none would shake off in the journey of twelve miles. That the labor represented a goodly number of dollars no florist who is accustomed to the making of funeral designs will fail to appreciate, but just how much work it is only those who have tried it can tell. ,_ TRIMMING AND WRAPPING. To Add to the Value of Plants. Taking for granted that the plants have reached the store in clean pots, that overripe foliage has been removed and they are trim and neat generally, we will consider what may be done or left undone to increase their value to the prospective buyer. At the same time we are happy to live in an age when common sense taboos sensational ornament as vulgar taste. Mayhap a touch will serve to develop the beauty of form and color with which the Mas- ter Artist has already endowed the plants. To provide a low-priced, neat and tasteful pot cover has cost us all more than one gray hair. Yes, the water- proof paper is a good makeshift, but only the first step to an economical and artistic cover. While nothing more tasteful and practical has yet been suggested than basket covers and bark, these are too expensive for small plants. For larger plants they can be afforded, as well as mats and palm fibers. In order to give perfect satisfaction to the customer, a pot cover ought to last at least as long as an ordinary blooming plant. But it is often loose and disordered by the time the plant is delivered, and this without justly attaching any blame to the delivery man. Better send a plant in a clean, bare pot than in a rumpled cover. Therefore, up to the present writing, it behooves the salesman to urge the purchase of a better cover, which will outlast several plants. Judicious Use of Ribbon. Really, now, is it an insult to tie a ribbon on a self-respecting plant, or is it possible to add to its beauty? It all depends upon the how, the why and the where. For instance, if there is an azalea partly out of bloom or im- perfectly flowered, a reasonable deco- ration, which harmonizes in style and color with the flower, is allowable and even commendable. A handle basket may be an addition to a tall, frail plant, or one which is inclined to vine. The basket covers while in reality they are held in plac6 by fine wires attached below. An araucaria, belonging to the coni- fers, may be properly decorated with small cones attached to the tips of the leaves, and the gaiety of the Christ- mas season seems to permit narrow red ribbon to tie the cones with; or a scarlet whorl of chiffon, after the shape of the foliage, may find a place be- tween the green whorls. A fancy ever- green, too, seems to lend itself grace- fully to a bunch of scarlet berries, to hang over the pot or half hide itself among the foliage. But do not be tempted to load plants with toggery or fluffy-ruffles petticoats. Various Artistic Touches. Certain plants leave much of the soil exposed, mostly by reason of special training, as in the case of azaleas and standard roses and chrysanthemums. ' These should be treated with a little lycopodium on moss over the soil, not covering it> so thickly, however, as to interfere with proper watering. Some plants, such as cyclamens, azaleas, lilies, mums, etc., may be en- hanced in value by laying a simple bunch of violets, pansies, forget-me- nots, or something else sufficiently dainty, over the envelope which con- tains the card. The stationery that accompanies a gift plant should represent the self- respect of both donor and dealer. Whether it is the sender's personal card or one obtained from the dealer, let it be of good quality and always enclosed in an addressed envelope to match, punched and neatly but se- curely tied to the plant inside of the wrapping. Decoratios an Automobile Costs Much in Stock and Labor. the pot and the handle serves as a sup- port or a trellis, and the point where the plant is bound to this trellis may be a place for a modest cord or ribbon tie. Again, a rigidly formal plant may be made more attractive by the addi- tion of a chiffon butterfly or two, ap- parently hovering over the flowers, Wrapping Neatly and Safely. While we always expect to line a box of flowers with oil paper, we for- get that a plant requires just as dainty a wrapping. After the branches have been tied together with raffia, the plants should have a separate wrap- ping of oil paper, pot and all. Lay ^ 10 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Septembeb 28, 1911. down a sheet of ■wrapping paper of the size required. Lay the plant down on its side and roll it, folding the paper carefully under the pot and try- ing, hot tamale style, at the top. Add one or two extra ties around the top of the pot and around the lower part, but forget the pins. Attach the ad- dress tag with the tie at the top. If the weather is frosty or threatening, add an extra wrapping of several lay- ers of newspaper or cotton batting be- tween the oil paper and the outside wrapping. The outside wrapping paper should be firm enough to protect the plant from occasional raps, from gusts of wind, or even easy falls. Some Extra Precautions. Some plants, such as lilies, require extra packing and tying for each THE NEW IN SUPPLIES. It is interesting to note that the steady advance in many lines of flo- rists' supplies has been in the direction of a more skillful use of natural prod- ucts, this being especially apparent in the present season. "You see the preparation used in preserving our new cycas leaf is so perfect that not only is the color retained with perfect fidel- ity, but there is not the slightest appear- ance of varnish or stickiness of any kind. Then, too, these leaves are flex- ible, an unknown quality in the pre- served cycas of the past." This is the way Mr. Eschner, of M. Eice & Co., described the latest in sago palm leaves. Continuing, Mr. Eschner dis- played two wreaths of great beauty. Epoch-making wreaths they may be called, for heretofore wreaths have Rowboat Decorated by August F. Kellner, Milwaukee. flower; that is, a little cotton or soft tissue paper pad in each open flower and a loose tie of raffia to hold the flowers together in an upright po- sition, so that they will stand wrap- ping. Yes, it takes time, but time is money. What customer does not re- sent receiving a bruised and fringed lily or a broken-necked chrysanthe- mum? Of course it is understood that be- fore packing for delivery, the plant, if at all dry, should be watered and allowed to drain thoroughly. G. B. TWO PRIZE BOATS. It was just about a year ago that The Review called attention to the new art of boat decorating. As further illustrative of this art, the accompany- ing snapshot pictures may be of in- terest. They show two prize boats decorated for a water carnival held on Okauchee lake. Wis., by Aug. F. Kellner, of the Aug. F. Kellner Co., Milwaukee. The rowboat was so deco- rated as to represent a Chinese water- craft. The rear part contained a can- opy built of cane stakes, and orna- mented with wistaria vines and red lan- terns. The sides were draped with green branches and hydrangea flowers. The gasoline launch was ornamented with an apple tree bearing fruit, while the sides were covered with cornstalks and large pumpkins. At the base of the tree an assortment of vegetables was displayed to good advantage. E. O. been made and sold chiefly of what may be termed self-material, the garnishing being sold separately, for the florist to add at discretion. These wreaths, on the other hand, are made up with combinations of foliage; the work so well done that they will certainly make a place for themselves. One is called the Diana wreath. It is formed of fine sprays of foliage, resembling new growth on hemlock spruce, and is so colored as to give a lavender and green effect; the Diana wreath is strictly speaking a "self" wreath, but not self- colored. The Atlas wreath, or as one pleased florist humorously termed it, "the at last wreath," is made of ruscus and magnolia, with small cycas and some thistles, poppies and cones used by way of ornament. The Atlas wreath is made in green and in brown. The cones used in the Atlas wreath suggest the prominence that these tree products are given this season. It is due primarily, Mr. Eschner says, to the scarcity and consequent high price of immortelles. In their place cape flowers of all colors are being offered, scarlet capes especially. To improve these scar- let capes and give them a touch of nature, Robert Shoch made up a wreath with cones that was admired at Balti- more. These cones come in a dozen different sizes. Close attention has been paid, Mr. Eschner says, to the development of the basket. Mr. Rice brought over from Europe no end of novel baskets, some of which have already made a hit. Of course there are baskets that have been used for twenty-five years and that are so good they may be used for another quarter century. There are perhaps twenty-five styles of these so- called staple baskets, with twice as many novelties. The novelties may be divided into three classes: the cut flower baskets, the plant baskets, and those that may be used either for cut flowers or for plants. The plant baskets outnumber the cut flower baskets by perhaps two to one. Their increase has been at the expense of the jardiniere. The features of the basket novelties, generally speaking, are pans or vases as inside receptacles and handles that strengthen rather than come from the top of- the basket. To define it more clearly, the handle appears to start halfway down the sides of the basket, giving a pleasing and rather different effect. The hamper, first cousin to the basket, exhibits a striking novelty in the burnt leather trunk for violets. This odd effect is created by reversing birchbark and singeing it. Another novelty for the violet is the violet handkerchief made of delicate chiffon of violet color, intended as a dress shield, adding a touch of daintiness. The revival of the old-fashioned bouquet holders made by M. Rice & Co. several years ago was followed by their general use throughout the coun- try. The exquisite creations of lace and satin were found to be too expen- sive for everyday usage, which led to Motor B)at Decorated ly August F. Kellner, Milwaukee. Septb»ber 28, 1911.

It combines much of the beauty of the lace and satin bouquet holder with a better grade of material than the one made of paper. While in Holland Mr. Eice secured some pretty Delftware vases, blue and white china in quaint design, the smaller sizes pleasing for favors. Bed maidenhair, velour finish, is an addition to the scarlet material avail- able for Christmas work. Fhil. SOW BUGS OR WOOD LICE. Will some reader of The Eeview give me a remedy for sow bugs or wood lice? I have used all the usual remedies, which seem to be of little avail. L. G. B. Eye flour is a delicacy much relished by sow bugs, sometimes called wood lice, according to Frank Felke, Wil- mette. 111. If it has been sweetened to their taste, they will gorge themselves with it and will roll up and die of the poison also included. He uses two parts rye flour, two parts sugar and one part Paris green, mixing only so much as is to be used at one time, as it deterior- ates if it stands any length of time. The mixture is scattered along the top of the edge-board of the bench in the evening, being careful to see that the board is dry, else the mixture will be- come lumpy and unpalatable to even the most voracious of the sow bugs. "Try it," says Mr. Felke, "and you will be surprised to find how many it will kill; you wouldn't have believed there were that many on your place." A WOMAN GLADIOLUS GROWER. One day last week a few growers of the gladiolus met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Austin, of Wayland, O., to see the gladioli and the grower, Mrs. Austin. A brief account of what we saw will be of interest as showing what a woman can accomplish when her heart is in the work. The farm, which has been in the Austin family about 100 years, is on high ground, sloping to the southeast. The soil is a clayey loam, but the fre- quent cultivation it receives makes it look much lighter than it is. In fact, it has the appearance of having been passed through a sieve. Some years ago, when Mrs. Austin came onto the farm — and she is yet a young woman — she commenced with a few bulbs, and seeing the possibilities of this flower, she continued to increase her stock, raise new seedlings, test the best obtainable and weed out and de- stroy the undesirable. In the mean- time the farm was successfully managed by Mr. Austin, but the time soon came when the few acres of gladioli became important as a moneymaker, besides being one of the attractions of that part of Portage county. Many of the lead- ing growers and seedsmen of the coun- try have been purchasers of bulbs grown there. Last year she had orders for almost 100,000 of a single variety after the stock was exhausted. She has now growing about a million bulbs, including all sizes of America. All the varieties on the farm seem to be in perfect health, although there is a general complaint this season that gla- dioli are not their best, on account of the drought and extreme heat. Mrs. A. H. Austin. Mrs. Austin's bulbs are all gro.wn in rows three feet apart, and about fifty rods in length. Grown in this way an acre will make less than three miles of a row, so that the time re- quired to cultivate that area is not long. A well stirred surface is con- ducive to a steady and healthy growth. Besides growing a large area, Mrs. Austin keeps up with the times by testing most of the new introductions offered in America and Europe, besides raising choice seedlings from hand- fertilized seed. Nowhere else have I ever seen such fine seedlings. We looked at them in the forenoon, then talked of them after dinner, and went again later in the day to take a last look. We saw yellows as deep as the daffodil, others pure white and no end of fine colored varieties. I didn 't dare to ask what they were worth, but great prices have been paid for some not half as good. I saw some fine ones at Balti- more, but they were nowhere beside Mrs. Austin's. M. Crawford. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED ["Ganlon Planning," by W. S. Rogers. Poublc- (lay. I'age & Co., New York.

Eogers, is one of the latest additions to the ex- cellent series of books designated as the Garden Library, other volumes of which have been favorably noticed in The Eeview. The present book is bound in the same tasteful style as the others and its contents are of the same use- ful character. It was written by a gardener in England and was carefully revised by the American publishers, so as to adapt it to American conditions. The illustrations were made from the author's own drawings and really il- lustrate the text. Though the book is not a cumbrously large one, it is comprehensive enough so that it treats the subject from both a practical and a theoretical point of view, clearly stating both the methods and the reasons, "the how and the why." The reasons, the fundamental principles, are discussed in the first part of the book, while the concrete exam- ples, or finished plans, appear in the sec- ond ])art of the book. And, aside from the mere planning or outlining of gar- dens, much other valuable information is supplied, with reference, for instance, to the nature of the soil and its treat- ment, the drainage, the making and care of lawns, the selection of plants and shrubbery, the preparation of composts, the paths and their construction, the edgings, fences, hedges, trellises, ter- races, rockeries and other details. I The book is comprehensive enough, also, so that it includes plans and sug- gestions for gardens of numerous sorts, shapes and sizes. It is intended to be applicable chiefly to small gardens, ordi- nary city and suburban lots. In other words, it was written especially for the use of the ma.joritj', for the multitudes of men of only average prosperity, whose landed possessions are tiny patches and specks of the earth 's sur- lace, not large estates.

It contains diagrams and descriptions of tracts of ground that vary in size from a back lot 20x26 feet to a town site. And the plans, it seems safe to say, are not of the untried, visionary sort that look prettiest on paper. The plans are not only capable of being so used as to attain good results, but may be said to be actual pictures of such re- sults, already attained. In fact, it ap- pears that most of the plans were "exe- cuted," tested in practical business, by the author himself. More alluring dia- grams or sketches could probably be drawn by any imaginative artist, but they might fail to "work out." For sale by The Review at the pub- lishers' price. GBEENHOUSES ON WHEELS. An innovation in greenhouse build- ing was launched at Bedford, Mich., Monday, September 25, when the fine range of movable houses built by Al- bert Stahelin was moved into posi- tion over the carnation plants which they will shelter this winter. Thesfl houses, four in number, 173 feet long and thirty-five feet wide, are built almost entirely of steel and are practically one unit. Garland gutters, eight feet high, and truss were used. As stated in a previous letter, the houses are built on solid wheels about ten inches in diameter, which run on railroad rails, these tracks being held in place by cement supports about three feet apart, making it impossible for the rails to get out of line. Many predicted that the hundreds of 24x36 panes of glass would suffer considerably during the moving, but not one light was broken, showing how accurately the tracks were laid and how rigidly the houses are built. The Detroit Florists' Club was well represented at the launching, or mov- ing, the party including Gus Taepke, Fred Pautke, Hubert Pierce, George Browne, Fred Breitmeyer, J. F. Sulli- van, Hugo Schroeter, William Dilger, Albert Pochelon, Thomas Browne, John Warncke, Ed Beard, E. A. Scribner, Kobert Klagge, Mr. Burch, H. Klagge, Mr. Maebius, E. A. Fetters, Kobert Rahaley, Theo. Mitchell, Frank Walling, Michael Bloy, Henry Machleit, Otto Blatt and others. H. S. Garland, secre- tary and manager of the George M. Garland Co., Des Plaines, 111., the con- cern that designed the houses and sup- plied the material, was on hand to see the successful completion of the work. Remarks were made by George Browne, J. F. Sullivan, E. A. Scribner, A. Pochelon, M. Bloy and Ed Beard. All congratulated Mr. Stahelin and wished him much success in his under- taking. Mr. Sullivan said that many of us could accomplish wonders if we only dared and that Albert Stahelin was one who had dared and he deserved unbounded success. Many were the predictions regarding the crop which would result from this method, espe- cially from planting right into the ground on no benches at all. Some questioned this method, but Mr. Stahe- lin's scheme was pronounced a most Albert Stahelin. practical one and the general opinion was that its advantages were many and it would pay well. Mr. Stahelin him- self is a most modest young man and when called upon for a few remarks took hold of his young wife's hand and, turning very red, said he had noth- ing whatever to say. H. S. DAHLIA AND GLADIOLUS. Western Society at Indianapolis. The adjourned initial meeting of the Western Dahlia and Gladiolus Society was called to order at the Dennison hotel, Indianapolis, Tuesday, Septem- ber 26, at 1:30 p. m.. President E. T. Barnes, of Spencer, Ind., in the chair. The exhibition at Wiegand's dividing the attendance, adjournment was held to that establishment to meet at the hour of 8 p. m. Director E. E. Stew- art, of Eives Junction, Mich., presided at the evening meeting in the absence of President Barnes, who was called home because of illness in his family. Homer Wiegand was made secretary pro tem. Eleven new members were recorded, which included prominent growers in the middle west. Richard Vincent, Jr., president-elect of the So- ciety of American Florists, wrote from White Marsh, Md., expressing his re- gret at his inability to attend and asked that his name be recorded as a member. On motion the chairman ap- pointed three committees to take up in the immediate future the most press- ing work of the new organization. First, on cooperation for the Chicago show in August; second, on nomen- clature; third, on premiums and spe- cials for the Chicago meeting. A ris- ing vote of thanks was extended to Messrs. A. Wiegand & Sons for their courtesy in supplying exhibition space, assistance in staging and for enter- tainment of oflScers. After further dis- cussion and examination of exhibits, the convention adjourned subject to the call of President Barnes. The Exhibition. As early as six a. m. Messrs. Stewart, Barnes and others, representing various exhibitors, were on hand at the big Wiegand show conservatory on Illinois street. On account of the late ar- rival of some exhibits, the staging was somewhat delayed, but the exhibition was ready at noon. E. T. Barnes, Spencer, Ind., supplied something like 5,000 blooms of dahlias in many types and forms. E. E. Stewart, Rives Junction, Mich., staged seventy-five varieties of gladioli, which came through in fine shape and showed up well considering the lateness of the season. One of his new ones, somewhat resembling Mrs. Francis King, is called Michigan, a big flower and good spike. He also showed President ,Taft and Golden Queen. Vaughan's Seed Store sent from Western Springs, 111., dahlias and gladioli in about thirty kinds, the lat- ter including Mastodon and Charles L. Hutchinson. Messrs. Wiegand had an- nounced the event in the daily papers and the attendance of the general pub- lic and interested amateur growers of these flowers was good both through the afternoon and evening.

What are considered the best green- houses for roses and carnations, those running east and west or those running north and south, and what are their ad- vantages and disadvantages? Am 1 mistaJken in believing that the Poehl- manns, Reinbergs and most other up-to- date growers build their houses east and westf J. F. D. Although each direction had its advo- cates, it really makes but little difference which way the houses run. In many of the large ranges, some of the houses run in one direction and others in the oppo- •ite way, without any noticeable differ- ence in th© results. When two-third or three-quarter-span houses are built, of course they should run east and west, but there is little choice in the direction for even-span houses. In theory the houses which run east and west, and particularly the three- quarter-span houses, are best in locali- ties where strong sunlight is needed dur- ing the hours from 9 o'clock to 4, and where there is likely to be a deficiency, owing to cloudy weather or other causes. On the other hand, houses running north and south have their glass at right angles to the sun during the early morning and late afternoon and afford partial shade during the middle of the day. For these reasons the north and south houses seem especially adapted to sec- tions where there is an abundance of sunshine, where the light and heat may be excessive during the middle of the day and where more sunshine is desired in early morning and evening. STEM-ROT. 1 have sent you today a box of soil and carnation plants, taken from the beach on which I planted carnations last month. I am now losing them day after day through stem-rot. The plants took good hold when planted, but the last week in August the trouble started and I have not been able to check it yet. I have given them two applications of air-slaked lime,- about ten days apart, but it does not seem to do any f;ood. I have had some trouble with stem- rot for the last two years, but have been guarding against it all the time, in order to overcome it. This year I had lost but few plants fr^m cuttings until planting time and the plants looked fine when planted in the green- house. I have been keeping them on the dry side; that is, I give them a good watering and then let them get pretty dry before watering again. I have good, light houses and have given them full ventilation day and night. The soil is taken from an old meadow field, which I manured first and then plowed under in November. I stacked it up about four feet high and left it there all winter, as the soil re- mained too wet to allo'w me to do any- thing with it until late this spring, when T had it turned over. I used the same soil for roses, which are thriving well in it. Any advice you can give me as to stopping this trouble will be highly appreciated. How often and in what quantity would it be safe to put air-slaked lime on the benches! Is there anything else I could usef I have an old pasture field, from which I intend to take my next year's carnation soil. As the soil is rather heavy, would it be better to mix sand with it and leave the manure out, or which would be the best way to prepare this soil for carnations! J. D. The specimens ' forwarded showed plainly that you have a case of the oom- mon stem-rot. V^our treatment of the plants seems to have been correct and ought to at least check the disease. 1 will give a few suggestions. Be sure that your plants are not set in the soil too deeply. They should be set just about as deeply as they were in the field. Spraying with Bordeaux mix- ture quite heavily has proven beneficial. Dusting with Grape Dust right into the heart of each plant, so that it will reach the stems, is good. In one bad case relief was found by making small trenches, about two and one-half inches deep and the same width, between each row of plants. When watering, fill these trenches, leaving the soil around the plants rather dry except what reaches the surface through capillary at- traction. I would not allow the plants to become extremely dry before water- ing, but rather try to keep an even moisture, keeping the water away from the plant and especially the stem. This will keep the plants growing steadily, whereas allowing the soil to become quite dry and then soaking it will be going from one extreme to the othtfr and the plant is almost continuously suffering from either drought or flood. The fertility of the soil has nothing to do with this disease. That your roses are thriving in it is no sign that the car- nations should be free from disease. The spores are, no doubt, in the rose soil too, but they do not attack the roses as they do the carnations. I would not mix sand in that soil which you say is a trifle heavy, but would advise you to use stable manure in preparing it. This will make It lighter. Prepare it this fall, as far as is practicable, so that all the manure will be thoroughly decayed and incor- porated with the soil before putting it into the house. A, P. J.

Great care must now be taken of gardenias, especially where they are being grown for winter blooming. While they will endure considerable cold and still look fresh and green, it is a great mistake to allow the tem- perature to run down in the house where they are grown so that the atmosphere feels cold and clammy. The. minimum should never be lower than 6.5 degrees and a little fire heat to maintain a buoj'ant atmosphere will now be a necessity. If the benches are well drained and the compost light and porous, the benches will need a thorough soaking of water once in five or six days now. The soil must never become either pasty or at all dust-dry; either condition will cause loss of buds and yellow foliage. Let the thermometer reach 75 degrees l:efore ventilating; then air a little at a time, reducing it in the same way. The plants, on every clear day, should have a thorough spraying to keep the arch enemy of gardenias — mealy bug — in check. Keep the plants tied up and discontinue pinching where winter flowers are wanted. If, on the other hand, a spring crop is desired, pinch back the runaway shoots for three weeks longer. Go slowly on feeding. A good plan is to give occasional light top-dressings of fine cow manure, in preference to using manure water. The latter will be all right early in the new year, but a little overplus of it now may cause a wholesale dropping of buds. The night temperature should now be 68 to 70 degrees and the at- mosphere should be moist. Foinsettias. With the arrival of colder nights, it is no longer safe to leave the poinset- tias in coldframes, or they will lose many of their leaves. They do not yet need a high night temperature; 50 to 55 degrees will sufiSce until the bracts show, when 10 degrees higher should be given, keeping them somewhat cooler when the bracts are well developed. Now is the time to make up a good number of pans for the holidays. If these are filled about the last of Sep- tember, the plants are not likely to become drawn and leggy. Use a light, moderately rich and sandy soil, and work in some small ferns. Asparagus Sprengeri or other green plants among the poinsettias. Use a watering can for some time, in preference to the hose. In fact, it would pay to restrict oneself to the watering pot all the time and there would then be less dead and yellowing foliage in evidence. Summer Bulbous Plants. As the tuberous-rooted begonias, gloxinias, gesneras, achimenes and other summer-flowering plants pass, they should be placed in a coldframe or pit, where they can have glass protection and be gradually dried off. Do not let the drying be sudden, as it too often is, or a large part of the bulbs are sure to die. After the bulbs are thoroughly dried, lay the pots or pans on their sides in a dry shed or cellar where there are suitable shelves. While begonias will keep perfectly well in any place where potatoes are stored, just clear of frost, the gloxinias should not have a lower temperature than 50 degrees. Do not lay them under the greenhouse benches, to be the prey of sowbugs and other insects. They look untidy and in many cases the drip from the benches will wet them and start them into premature growth. Later in the season, when the rush work slackens somewhat, the various tubers can be shaken out, cleaned, labeled and stored in boxes in readi- ness for potting. Callas. If any callas are still standing out- doors, they should be got inside with- out delay. They are now well started and when placed under glass, with a little genial warmth, will make quick headway. Be careful not to overwater them until the pots are nicely filled with roots. This applies as much to bench-grown as to pot-grown plants. Callas want copious waterings and lots of 'feeding when in active growth, but in the early stages of growth an excess is liable to start decay of the tubers. A night temperature of 55 to 60 de- grees suits callas. They can be grown cooler, but flower more freely in a warmer house. Do not lose sight of the Godfrey calla. It is one of the best things sent out in late years. Nerines. The brilliant nerines, or Guernsey liRes, as they are popularly called, us- ually flower from the end of September until November. They propagate rather slowly, and for this reason they are not by any means abundant. Some day I expect to see them a standard flo- rists' pot plant. The bulbs which have 1 een baking under coldframe sashes or on a sunny shelf since early summer, will now be pushing up their s^Hkes and should be taken out and watered. Any with the bulbs much crowded can now be pulled apart and repotted. Such varieties as Fothergilli major and Sarniensis can go half a dozen to a 6-inch pot and four to a 5-inch pot. Use a compost of fibrous loam, broken charcoal, coarse sand and about bne- fourth well dried cow manure. Give them a cool house to grow and flower in. Any repotted will not flower iwell for a couple of years. Nerines must be a perfect mat of roots to bloom freely. . ' Hydrangeas. Pot-grown hydrangeas will now have their growths firm and fairly bard. To assist in further ripening them, run them drier at the root now, not to the extejit of actual wilting, but «onsider- ably reducing the water supply. Keep in the sunniest possible spot outdoors until threatened with frost of sufficient severity to injure them. Plants in the field have made a fine growth of late. There is no need to wait any longer before potting these up. AU will lift with nice balls. Shake off the soil, so that they will not need too large pots; 6-inch and 8-inch are convenient sizes. Use a tolerably rich soil. After pot- ting, keep them outdoors as long as weather permits. The advantage of lifting now is that the plants get quite nicely rooted in the pots before cold weather sets in. AN* ACOEN. "Great oaks from little acorns grow," and it is interesting to note the beginnings of some of what are now the largest greenhouse establish meats in the country. A good many of them started even smaller than has Mrs. A. R. Scharf, at Mancos, Colo., whose greenhouse is shown in the ac- companying illustration. Mancos .is forty miles in one direction and 150 miles in the other direction from any other greenhouse. It is twenty miles from any other town, and there were only four deaths in it in the last year. Perhaps one would say it is not the best of locations for a florist, but Mrs. Scharf finds business growing steadilj. Last summer she replaced her original house, 14x20, with the present struc- ture, 15x60, heated with a hot air flue. Trade is good in the winter, but there is scarcely any call for cut flowers dur- ing summer. Greenhouse of Mri. A. R. Scharf, Mao cos, Colo. ,.yv. .-/v Sbftbmuek 28, 1911. The Weekly Florists^ Rwkw. 15 AOACIA PUBESCENS. Being rather interested in hard- wooded greenhouse plants, such as heaths and acacias, I come to ask jou whether it would be possible to get the following information: When and where does Acacia pubescens get its* origin! I fail to find it catalogued here or abroad. Its beautiful, pendulent foliage and flowers, in bunches, made a great attraction lately at the different flower shows. Strange to say, during my travels in Europe I never came across a single plant. I understand that it can be raised from seed. This has been confirmed by a prominent Boston pri- vate gardener. Young stock has been propagated from cuttings, which has also been confirmed. I hope to get fur- ther information through the valuable help of some of your readers. T. K. PBOPAGATINa ADIANTUMS. I have a good stock of adiantum ferns, from which I wish to propagate. Kindly let me know how and when to do so. F. H. T. Adiantums may be propagated in two ways, either by means of seedlings or by division of the crowns. The latter method, however, is used but seldom, except in the case of Adiantum Farley- ense. If the query refers, as it prob- ably does, to Adiantum cuneatum, the best way to propagate would be by means of spores, and the time to gather the spores is any time during the late summer or autumn, in readiness for sowing about the first of the year. Some judgment is required in gather- ing the spores, in order to get them just right, but if the fronds are cut off when the spores are beginning to drop, and are tied up in paper or put in large paper bags and kept in a dry place until the fronds are perfectly dry, they ought to turn out satisfactorily. By the time the latter stage is reached, the spores will be found in the form of brown dust within the paper, and are then ready for sowing. Some clean 6-inch pots should then be prepared for the spores by filling them to within about an inch of the top with clean cinders or other drainage mate- rial, on top of which some finely sifted soil is pressed down level, so that the surface is below the top of the pot. The best soil for the purpose is either peat or fine leaf-mold, though this is not absolutely necessary. Then the pots are given a thorough watering and al- lowed to drain for a couple of hours, after which they are ready for the sowing. Sow the spores thinly on the surface of the soil and cover the pots with panes of glass, after placing them in a shaded part of the greenhouse, where they will be well protected from sun and wind. No further watering should be re- quired until the seedlings show in the form of a green growth on the soil, pro- vided the pots have been properly cared for, and the seedlings should not be disturbed until they show signs of the first frond, which is usually in eight or ten weeks from the time of sowing. When this stage is reached the seed- lings may be pricked out in small clumps into pans or flats which have been prepared in the same manner as to soil and drainage as the original seed pots. After this transplanting, the seedlings remain in the pans until they are large enough for handling, when they should be potted off into small pots. Throughout all these early stages in the life of an adiantum, it should be protected from the sun and strong winds and should not be allowed to get really dry at any time. A night tem- perature of 60 to 65 degrees is best for the seeds and seedlings. W. H. T. BIDDING FOB BUSINESS. Taking advantage of the well known disposition of florists to put off order- ing until the last minute and then use the wires, Wertheimer Bros., the New York ribbon house, procured of the Western Union a quantity of "night letter" blanks and printed in their address, so that the user would be saved writing it. These blanks were then mailed to customers and prospective customers, with an invitation to use the blanks to send 50-word orders by wire at the expense of the firm. Syndey B. Wertheimer says the idea has contrib- uted its share toward making this an exceptionally busy season. THE DOBSET VIOLET. Please inform us how you consider the Dorset violet compares with the Princess of Wales, as to color, size of bloom, length of stems, productiveness and other qualities. C. G. J. & S. The color of Dorset is similar to that of Princess of Wales, but the stems are shorter and the flowers smaller. Some growers believe it is a fine variety, but a trial for one season showed it to be in every way inferior to Princess of Wlales when grown under the same con- ditions. It would be interesting to hear i from some of those who have grown this, especially witk reference to the temperature that best suits it. As for me, it has proved of but Kttle value t(il me, and has been discarded. Siill, there are others who may have done better with it and I hope they will give their opinion. C. W. FOOB GBOWTH OF DAHUAS. Considerable comment has been made recently upon the poor growth and blooming of dahlia plants this summer. Perhaps some of the expert dahlia growers can throw some light on the problem. This season many dahlias in the east have shown a stunted growth, produc- ing scarcely any blooms, whereas those which grow rather high bloomed free- ly. The two types of plants may be seen growing side by side in the same soil. No disease appears to be asso- ciated with this peculiarity; that is, neither fungous nor insect trouble can be detected. The stunted growth of the plants looks much like that caused by malnutrition or overfeeding. In some instances of which I know the plants were grown in trenches of ma- nure; in others, manure was spread loosely on the beds, and in still other cases commercial fertilizers were ap- plied. In connection with • this it may be noted that the sumgigr has been ex- tremely dry and [the^Rit intense. The foliage on the stunteH plants, however, was of a deep, rich-* ;,'■?•.•:■■ •-•'w 2 . 16 The Weekly Florists' Review. September ii&, 1911. plants firmly enough without the aid of a good potting stick. Keep them out- doors a little longer after potting. When housing, let the house be cool, light and airy. Kemember to water carefully, but spray freely. All hard- wooded plants have fine, hair-like roots, especially the ericas, and a severe dry- ing out usually kills them. Plants of Erica melanthera, with the buds ahow* ing color, can be given a slightly warmer house; 45 to 48 degrees at night will suffice to get them m good flower for Thanksgiving and Christmas. WINTERING YOUNQ BOSES. We should like to know how to win- ter roses that are just rooted now. We have potted some hardy rambler cut- tings in 2^-inch pots and should like to know whether we can winter them in a coldframe that will freeze a few times during the winter. C. W. E. The rambler roses will winter per- fectly in a coldframe. In fact, the frame is much to be preferred to a greenhouse. Keep the plants well ex- posed until really cold weather arrives, leaving the sashes off until that time. If you cover the pots with a few inches of perfectly dry leaves, they will keep out a lot of frost. Do not put the sashes on until the leaves are scattered over the plants. Ventilate during mild spells of weather in winter and freely toward spring. Remove the leaf cover- ing as soon as the weather has suf- ficiently warmed. C. W. POTTING FIELD-GROWN ROSES. Please tell me when to take roses up from the field and pot them, to have them for the holidays. What kind of soil is the best? I am located in Kansas. J. A. G. Field-grown roses should not be lifted earlier than the end of October, and with you November would be better. The wood should be well ripened before they are dug. Boses prefer a rather heavy soil; one containing a little clay is excellent, but they will thrive in quite light loam if well fed when the pots are full of roots. If by the holi- days you mean the Christmas season, you can not dig up roses and have them in any condition at that time. Possibly you could get a few flowers on Clothilde Soupert and some of the teas by care- fully digging now, but they would not be very salable plants. Christmas is too early for pot roses also. All that I grow are used from Easter to Memorial, chiefly at Easter, A few come earlier and some later. Watch the calendar of operations in The Beview for later hints- C. W. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. An executive committee meeting will be held in New York city September 28, to consider arrangements for the De- troit exhibition. This meeting will be followed by a conference in Detroit to determine upon the detail work. The Rose Society will ask its friends to subscribe a guarantee fund, so that the society may be able to offer an excellent list of prizes, and be assured of financial support. The Bose So- ciety's permanent investment fund of over $3,000 has been accumulated from its life membership fees. This fund is invested in guaranteed mortgages of New York; the securities are those in which the state savings banks are au- thorized to invest. Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y. ANTIRRHINUMS. Where antirrhinums were ben«ked early they are now stariiag to grow away nicely. It does not pay to allow the main shoot to run right up to flower. Pinch it back and let four or five of the strongest sprouts, near the base of the plant, remain. Rub off. all weak ones; a few good spikes will pay better than a lot of weaklings. Antir> rhinum spikes are of little value now and there are few calls for them before November. It is in late winter and early spring that they are most appre- ciated. The plants catf be tied up t© stakes, or, better still, supported by wires and twine in the same way as carnations. Plants which are in pots and in- tended to follow chrysanthemum* should not be allowed to get potbound. If "in 3-inch pots, give a shift into 4- inch. Keep them cool and well sup- plied with water. Pot off any in flats which are of sufficient size. Snap- dragons, if allowed to become of a fair size in flats, do not safely transplant to benches. Pot-grown stock gives bet- ter results. Now is a good time to get a batch of cuttings from plants out- side. Those along the sides of the flowering stems are the best. These will root easily in a carnation cutting bench. Seeds sown now will produce nice plants with which to follow mid- season and late mums. IMPORTS or PLANTS. The S. S. Finland, from Antwerp, which arrived at New York September 19, brought the following consignments: Koowa. J. P., 8 capes plants. Langeler, H., 68 pkgs. laurel trees, etc. Maltas & Ware, 105 cases plants. Vandegrlft, F. B., & Co., 43 cases plants. Kuvper. I*. C, & Co., 40 eases plants. McHutehison & Co., 64 pkgs. plants. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. Committees to Examine Seedlings. President Elmer D. Smith announces the committees to examine new chrys- anthemums for the ensuing year,^ which are as follows: Boston — William Nicholson, chair- man; James Wheeler, Alex Montgom- ery.

Deamud, chairman; E. A. Wood, T. E. Waters. Ship flowers to J. B. Deamud, 51 Wabash avenve. Shipments should be made to arrive by 2 p. m. on examination days, to receive attention from the committee. They must be prepaid to destination and an entry fee of $2 should be for- warded to the secretary not later than Tuesday of the weeK they are to be ex- amined, or it may accompany the blooms. Seedlings and sports are both eligi- ble to be shown before these commit: tees, provided the raiser has given them two years' trial to determine their true character. Special attention is called to the rule that sports, to receive a certificate, must pass at least three of the five committees. The committees will be in session to examine such exhibits as may be submitted on each Saturday during October and No- vember. The dates will be October 7,. 14, 21 and 28, and November 4, 11, 18 and 25. Chas. W. Johnson, Sec'y.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 17 DETBOIT. The Market. Market conditions remain unchanged since last week's report. Business is picking up with the advent of the cooler weather. Some fine Golden Glow mums are now available and selling nicely. Two store openings here last week made inroads on the dahlia supply and cleaned these up well. Considerable quantities of long-stemmed asters, Beauties and carnations also were used in various ways. Various Notes. A number of local newspaper men were entertained in Breitmeyer's new store Monday evening, September 25, when a seven-course dinner was served in the beautiful conservatory and en- joyed to the fullest extent by the press. Friday e-vening, September 29, the members of the Detroit Florists' Club and thoir ladies will be Mr. Breit- meyer's guests in the new store, when light refreshments will be served and music will add to their pleasure. Sat- urday, September 30, the store will be opened to the public. This new store is immediately adjoining the former store, has a frontage of about forty feet and is 110 feet deep. The interior is finished in ivory and green. Window- boxes planted with boxwood will rest on stone projections on the front of the building, while along the front close to the windows will be a hedge of boxwood. H. S. HABTFOBD, CONN. The annual dahlia exhibition of the Connecticut Horticultural Society was held at Unity hall, September 19 and 20. The recent unseasonable frost had its effect on the quantity, but not on the quality, of the flowers shown. The attendance was large. The stage in the hall was concealed behind a splendid collection of potted ferns, placed there by President John F. Huss of the Hart- ford Horticultural Society. The following were the principal prize winners connected with the trade: John H. Slocombe, New Haven; N. Nelson and John F. Huss, both of this city; Forbes & Keith, New Bedford, Mass.; Warren S. Mason, Farmington; Wm. F. Jost, East Haven; D. W. Babcock, Ber- lin, Md. J. A. Webei\ gardener for W. L. Goodwin, won first prize for the finest collection of vegetables, and John F. Huss was second. GLEN COVE, N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held in Pembroke hall on Wednes- day evening, September 13. President Trepess occupied the chair and a good number were present. The judges appointed for the exhibits were Messrs. Cliffe, Johnson and Mar- shall, and their decisions were as fol- lows: Six ears of corn, first, F. Pe- troccia; twelve potatoes, first, H. Boettcher; one melon, first, S. J. Tre- pess; dish of peaches, honorable men- tion, E. Brown; Brussels sprouts, thanks of society, F. Petroccia. There were two applications for mem- bership. Henry Gaut, in behalf of Mrs. H. L. Pratt, offered a silver cup as a special prize at the fall show. A. Walker, in behalf of B. C. Smith, offered $15 as a special prize for a vase of chrysanthe- mums, eight blooms, one variety, at the fall show. Mrs. Pratt and Mr. Smith were accorded a unanimous vote of thanks. G. N. Hoff, of the Alphano Humus Co., gave an interesting talk on humus and the benefits to be derived from its use on all soils. He was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his address and for his courtesy in answering the questions asked. The exhibits for competition in October will be for three heads of celery, a vase of pink cosmos and three heads of cabbage. E. W. PROVIDENCE. The Market. A general improvement in business was reported from all quarters this week, a few early weddings and social functions, with decorations for milli- nery and dress goods openings, being the accelerating influences. Funeral work has also kept well to the fore. Th^e has been a larger variety of stock and all of a greatly improved quality, which also had its influence. Prices range normal and the supply and demand about balance. Chrysanthe- mums are beginning to show themselves and bring from $2.50 to $4 per dozen at retail. The first violets of the sea- son came to hand last week and were at once spoken for, though a trifle soft as yet. The first cuttings of carnations are also at hand. The Wholesale Market. The large store at 43 Washington street, which has been leased for the Providence Wholesale Flower Market, has been fitted up with the necessary stalls, telephones, lighting facilities and other furnishings, and now awaits the date for the formal opening. Some of those interested in the establishment of the market held a meeting September 22, at which the committee appointed some weeks ago on ways and means was instructed to go ahead and have the as- sociation chartered under the laws of the state of Rhode Island, and this will be done at once. There are twelve stockholders in the scheme, but it is understood that several growers have announced their intention of applying for room. The stalls are to be disposed of at auction on Saturday afternoon, September 30, at 2 o 'clock, at the store. Various Notes. James A. Budlong, of the J. A. Bud- long & Son Co., of Auburn, has de- clined to allow the use of his name as a candidate on the republican ticket for the nomination for mayor of Cran- ston. W. A. Fiske, president of the W. E. Barrett Co., has returned to this city with his family, after spending the summer at his seashore home at Pru- dence Island, in Narragansett Bay. Mr. and Mrs. George Williams, of this firm, have also returned from a sojourn at the same place. Joseph Kopelman received the con- tract for all the plant decorations at Infantry for "The Orient in Provi- dence," which continues from Septem- ber 21 to October 7. William J. Stewart and P. Welch, of Boston, were recent visitors in this city. One new member was voted in at the regular monthly meeting of the Flo- rists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island. A special meeting is to be held in a few days, for the purpose of con- sidering an offer made by the Rhode Island Horticultural Society to devote $150 for premiums at the coming chry- santhemum show in November, as the Florists' Club might arrange. Johnston Bros., on Dorrance street, had a conspicuous floral slipper at one of the department store openings last week. It was entirely of lily of the valley and orchids. Timothy O'Connor has a handsome new covered delivery wagon. M. Macnair had the decorations for the dedication ceremonies of the new Jewish synagogue on Broad street last week. Frederick Deitz, of French street, has returned from a vacation trip to Boston and Albany, and thence down the Hud- son to New York city. John Macrae, of Smith street, has completed the benching of his stock and is now making necessary repairs about his range, preparatory to win- ter. His carnations are looking fine and he has begun cutting. J. A. Budlong & Son Co. is cutting a few of the new yellow rose, Mrs. Alma Ward, at the houses in Auburn. Ernest Smith, bookkeeper for W. S. Pino, has returned from a week's vaca- tion. At the annual exhibition of the Amer- ican Institute, in the Berkeley Lyceum building at New York recently, one of the oddities was a collarette dahlia, raised by George L. Stillman, of West- erly. It is a new variety and has lavender colored petals, with lavender and white collar and an orange center. Mr. Smith, representing T. W. Emer- son Co., of Boston; C. H. Hudson, repre- senting Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works of Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y., and Mr. Crosby, of Danielson, Conn., were among the visitors in this city last week. Carl Jurgens, of Newport; H. C. Neu- brand, of this city, and Louis J. Ren- ter, of Westerly, were among the re- cent visitors in Boston. Earl Barlow, with Z. D. Blackistone, of Washington, D. C, has returned to that city after a six weeks' stay in Newport. James B. Canning has just brought out an attractive covered delivery wagon. A. Leuthy, of Roslindale, Mass., was a recent visitor among the trade in this city. One hundred and sixty-nine cases of Holland bulbs arrived at Newport one day last week for Carl Jurgens. George L. Stillman, of Westerly, has been exceptionally fortunate with his exhibitions of dahlias this season. He has captured nearly all of the first awards of the American Institute in New York and the New England Dahlia Society in Boston. W. H. M. Albany, N. T.— H. G. Eyres is build- ing two more greenhouses, each 20x100, at Morris and Knox streets. Bridgeport, Conn.— John Reck & Son, at 985 Main street, recently had an especially tasteful and unique window display. It consisted of a thatched cot- tage against a woodland background, with mosses and ferns in the fore- ground outlining a pond on which floated tiny swans. •*i:ii^f^>h-j. 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review* SEfTEMBBB 28, 1911. BOSTON. The Market. Conditions are steadily improving. There is no boom, but flowers are sell- ing better than for a long time and the growers are quite optimistic. Re- cent frosts and rain ruined many of the asters and these have now ceased to be a controlling factor in the market. A good many still arrive, but they are bringing much better prices all around. Roses are beginning to assert them- selves and are temporarily more numer- ous and important than any other flowers. The prices on the smaller grades show a downward tendency, but better grades are selling quite well. *.'arnafions, while shdrt-Hteiiuned, are much more abundant. The best are mak- ing $2.50 to $4 per hundred. Violets have made their appearance, quite a few Princess of Wales being seen, some of quite nice quality. Chrysanthemums as yet are limited to Golden Glow, with the exception of a few Smith's Ad- vance. Lilies are still in undersupply. There is a fair lot of speciosums obtainable. Some nice dahlias are seen, but many were destroyed by the early frosts. Tuberoses sell poorly and cosmos as yet is not in much demand. Some nice an- tirrhinums are coming in; these, how- ever, only sell moderately. Gladioli are still seen and sell better than a month ago. Lily of the valley is abundant. Cattleya labiata is occasionally seen and will soon be abundant. Oncidium Rogersii is being used in window dis- plays. There is a little better call for both asparagus and adiantum, Aspara- gus Sprengeri being in the lead, as usual. Various Notes. The Rosary Flower Store, which has hitherto been on Clarendon street, has moved to more central and commodious quarters at .'512 Boylstoii street, oppo- site Copley Square. J. J. Casey, the who are sending these in this early in- clude Edward Bingham, of Dedham; W. E. Turner and E. E. Cummings, of Woburn, and H. Waldecker, of Brain- tree. The last named gentleman also has splendid carnations. F. H. Houghton, formerly located on Boylston street, will open a new and up-to-date flower store at 4 Park street October 1. Percy S. Snow will be first assistant. Mr. Houghton is noted as one of the leaders in design work in Boston. Montrose Greenhouses are sending to the Boston Flower Exchange unusually good Killarney, White Killarney, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Richmond and Perle. Bulbs for fall planting will be the leading subject at the next club meet- ing, October 17. They will be sepa- rately treated for forcing, bedding and naturalizing. Thomas Pegler is receiving fine dah- lias and the new crop of pansies from W. C. Ward, of Quincy, and charming pink antirrhinums from R. D. Kimball, of Waban. The vegetable growers' convention and exhibition brought numerous out-of- town visitors to Boston. It was unfor- tunate that early frosts had spoiled many of the tender crops. The trade exhibits were quite numerous and the representatives of the various firms in this section reported good business. R. C. Bridgham, of the Newton Rose Conservatories, is this season having good success with Mrs. Jardine and Prince de Bulgarie. Welch Bros, have had an excellent September business up to date, con- siderably ahead of 1910. G«o. McAlpine, one of the latest rose specialists to enter the field here, is sending in excellent Mrs. Ward, Lady Hillingdon and Killarney roses from his Exeter, N. H., establishment. A big fruit show under the auspices of the Boston Chamber of Commerce will be held in Horticultural hall Octo- ber 23 to 28. Several thousand dollars .

Others are offered in prizes. This is part of a big movement to boom New England fruits and encourage their extended cul- ture. A. A. Reed, of Whitman, is getting some nice Cattleya Dowiana flowers and has a fine lot of labiatas just com- ing in. Among prominent shippers of Chrys- anthemum Golden Glow this week are Carl Everburg and Gustave Olsen, of Woburn, and L. E. Small, of Tewksbury, all of which are sold at the Boston Co- operative Market. The W. W. Edgar Co. is having heavy sales on cyclamens and Lorraine begonias, which they have in fine shape. Begonia Glory of Cincinnati is being grown in quantity by them. Mrs. W. W. Edgar joined the Gardeners' and Florists' Club September 19. Among the finest asters seen in Bos- ton this season are those grown under glass by W. S. Phelps, of Marlboro, and handled at the Boston Co-operative Market by J. M.« Cohen. W. W. Tailby, of Wellesley, and Mann Bros., of Randolph, are leading ship- pers of Lilium speciosum at present. William A. Riggs, of Auburndale, in addition to his regular supplies of As- paragus Sprengeri and plumosus, has now good Golden Glow mums, to be fol- lowed by other varieties shortly. Mr. Riggs was for years one of the leading mum growers for the Boston shows while a private gardener. Mrs. J. F. Flood will continue the florists' business at Woburn, with Will- iam Martin in charge. Asparagus, adi- antum and bedding plants will be made specialties. H. W. Field, of Northampton, through Thomas Pegler, is disposing of fine daily cuts of Mrs. Aaron Ward, Killarney, White Killarney and Rich- mond roses. W. N. Craig. A CITY IN ITSELF. Those who have not visited the Edge- brook greenhouses and nursery of the Geo. Wittbold Co. have no idea of the different industrial pursuits carried on there. Eighty acres are devoted to the growth of everything in the nursery line; 75,000 square feet of glass to everything in the plant line, while all kinds of bulb stock are forced, and car- nations, chrysanthemums and poinset- tias are grown in enormous quantities. Being out of reach of accommoda- tions, the company is obliged to own and operate a grocery, restaurant and blacksmith shop. The grocery supplies the families living on the place, while the restaurant furnishes meals at all hours and also has from sixteen to twenty regular boarders, all of whom work for Wittbold. Rooms with modern conveniences, a great improvement over the old ones, are under construction for the sleeping apartments of those who board there. The blacksmith shop is kept busy shoeing twelve to fourteen horses, building and repairing wagons and other implements, and also with the construction and repairing of the min- iature railway system which forms a network throughout the greenhouses and hotbed sections. The company does all the work in the construction of its cement sheds, hotbeds, sidewalks, etc., also manufac- tures all the cement boards and posts for its cement benches and the tile used in tiling the nursery, of which 20,000 feet of 6-inch, 2,000 feet of 12-inch, and 17,000 feet of 24-inch have been used to date, in addition to thirty-two cement basins. An average of forty men have been employed throughout the last year, an increase of five over the year of 1910. Six families live on the place, including those of Otto Wittbold, superintendent, and C. G". Anderson, assistant superin- tendent. ^ . . ^^ ■■"- ^'■L- ,W'A;k ;i.J x^.- gCTTEUBKU 2K, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review. 19 CHRISTIAN BINNING. The president-elect of the Springfield Florists' Club was born January 24, 1870, at Sehefflenz, near Heidelberg, grand duchv of Baden, Germany, and attended the public schools of the fatherland until the time of his de- parture for America. Upon landing on this side of the water he went to Painesville, O., where he entered the employ of the Storrs & Harrison Co., July 4, 1883, working in the budding field of the nursery department. Robert George was quick to recognize the ability and faithfulness of the subject of this sketch and placed him in charge of the greenhouses, in which a line of miscellaneous plants were grown, where he continued until January 1, 1888. Locating at Springfield, O., he took charge of the growing in the Innis- fallen Greenhouses, then owned and operated by Chas. A. Reeser. June 18, 1893 these houses passed into the hands of tne Geo. H. Mellen Co., a corpora- tion composed of business men inex- perienced in the line, with the excep- tion of Mr. Binning, who became su- perintendent. Being the practical man of the company, much of the detail and initiative of the business, including a large share of the preparation of copy for the fall and spring catalogues, has ;-. ,. >v •'-'-■ Hie Weekly Horists^ Review* 29 «, ..^ WE ARE CUTTING A BIG CROP OF FINE KILURNEY, WHITE KiLLARNEY and MRS.

The continual rains of the last ten days have practically put asters out of the market and reduced the sup- ply of eladioli so that they do not cut much figure. The supply of car- nations is just about equal to the de- mand, while there are enough roses to go around most of the time. A limited quantity of Golden Glow marks the opening of the mum season, and they all find ready sale. With the exception of smilax, the green goods market is well supplied. State Fair Awards.

They are out for a pleasure trip, having come here all the way from Colorado Springs. John Bragazee, Racine, Wis., who is about to open up a new store, came up to look for some of the necessary goods, the latter part of last week. Adam Zender, of Chicago, also was a visitor recently. September 25 marked the opening of the third wholesale flower house in Mil- waukee. The name of the new concern is Gust Rusch & Co. The headquarters, which are practically new, are located at 448 Milwaukee street and are in the personal charge of Mr. Rusch. He is a Milwaukee boy, who received his train- ing in his home town, and there is no NO WORRY about repairs or breakdowns if you own an Armlctder Wagon.

The heat has been sufficient to take the life out of the demand for flowers; nobody wants them when they droop immediately, unless it is a case of necessity. Flowers are evidently be- coming a necessity, happily for us, placing the business upon li more sub- stantial footing that keeps our best men from other paths. Dahlias are in their glory now, only it isn't dahlia weather. Cool nights put life into the stock. The demand for dahlias testifies to their popular favor. A local shop bought 5,000 September 23. Orders for 1,000 or more, usually of a single color, sometimes of one variety, are not infrequent. Prices are well maintained. Boses stand next to dahlias as the stock in which there is most trading. Beauties continue to lead. They are better value at listed prices than any other variety. Boses, like dahlias, are in excess of the demand. Asters are fast going. It is difficult to fill a large order for high grade stock. Car- nations, on the other hand, are rapidly improving and more good stock with stems of salable length is arriving each day. Cattleyas are also increas- ing. Orders are now taken in hundred lots at $40 that would have been an impossibility a week ago, both be- cause of no cattleyas and because of no orders. The price of Golden Glow chrysanthemums has advanced, chiefly due to the quality of the stock, now fine; due also^ to the fact that quality is appreciated. Valley is rather dull. It is too hot for violets. The demand for greens, notably plumosus, is in- creasing. The Dahlia Meeting. The dahlia meeting of the Pennsyl- vania Horticultural Society was held in the lecture room of Horticultural hall on the afternoon and evening of Sep- tember 19, as mentioned in this column last week.

The other exhibitors were John Mc- Cleary, in vegetables; John Little, Rob- ert Morrow and David Aiken, in asters; Thomas Roberts, Jr., and David Aiken, in zinnias; John Little and David Aiken, in tomatoes.

People are rap- idly coming home, and if. a cold snap would but accelerate their return the florists would smile broadly and hustle to fill orders. Still, there is little com- plaint, and the retailers all seem to hjftVQ something to keep them going. Last week there was some business immediately preceding Jewish New Year, but Friday and Saturday lapsed into business doldrums of a pronounced variety. The wholesalers complain the worst of the temporary depression. They have an abundance of stock, with prac- tically no demand. Everything is plen- tiful, save asters, which are seeing their last days and are mostly of poor qual- ity. Only the longer-stemmed asters find any kind of a demand. Orchids are plentiful, with slack sales. Dahlias are moving well, although evidently worth more money. Boses are glutting the market and the retailers are wary in their buying. They can be had almost at **your own price" in five hundred lots. They are in fine shape. Greens still are finding a fair de- mand. Easter lilies are moving slowly. Carnations are more plentiful, but tho reds are not moving. Yellow mums are good for the season. Whites will be ready hert week.

It is a big week in Washington be- cause of the Masonic gathering here, and the florists are getting a share of the benefits accruing. One of the most eflfective decorations is in the F street window of the Washington Florists Co, The elliborate decorations for the Masonic Temple, where the imperial session of the grand officers of the grotto will be held, fell to the lot of Gude Bros. Co. Small & Son got the work at the Willard hotel, which will be especially elaborate. Wm. F. Gude was chosen grand marshal of the pa- rade, which was held September 26. W. W.

Cooke has a well arranged display of flowers and plants. F. H.

Shaffer's windows attract a good deal of notice from the passing throng. F. J. D. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. Trade is good, but astera and other flowers suitable for funeral work are rather scarce, while carnations are not yet plentiful. Boses and gladioli are in moderate supply and bring fair pri'»es. Funeral work is heavy and calls for lot» of short stock. Mums appear to be in excellent shape and the early whites will soon be in bloom. Carna- tions in the houses look good. The weather continues warm. W. L. Marinette, Wis. — George Vatter has purchased an additional two acres of land south of his greenhouses.

There was a marked improvement last week over several preceding weeks. Funeral work was the heaviest it had been for some time. There have been quite a number of weddings and early fall socials lately, and these, with store openings, have kept some of the flo- rists pretty busy. This week we had German day and Home Coming week, with Governor Marshall and Senator Kern as principal speakers. Tuesday was German day, with a fine parade, a feature of which was the floral decora- tion of all automobiles. Various Notes. Julius Niednagel & Sons report fine business last week. They had part of the decorations of De Jong's new store, which was opened to the public Septem- ber 25. The stock here is all in grand condition. The roses are fine, espe- cially the Killarneys, and there will be plenty of them to cut soon. The car- nations are giving some blooms of good substance, though the stems are short. The mums could hardly look better. Monrovia is showing color, it being the earliest one here. There is one bench of the Governor Herrick violet and the plants make a fine showing. They have produced lots of buds and these have been picked off, with plenty more show- ing. Firing was commenced last week, as the nights are cool enough to make a little heat necessary for roses. The Wm, Blackman Floral Co. is cut- ting plenty of roses and a good many carnations. Their Marylands are extra fine. Business is excellent. They have had a large number of out-of-town wed- dings and a number booked in advance. They also had a good share of the deco- ration of De Jong's new store. They cut their first mums September 25 and a few Advance have been sent to their store. Louis Fritsch has been quite busy of late. He looks for a large trade this season. J. C. Elsperman has had a good run of funeral work lately. He has an im- mense stock of fine plants of all kinds. He received a large shipment of dried flowers from M. Eice & Co., of Phila- delphia, last week. Henry Seymour says business is im- proving. Karl Zeidler is busy with funeral work. Nellie Goodge was in a serious con- dition for part of two days last week. It was feared she could not live, but she is better now and all are hoping for her speedy recovery. Royston & Fenton report a much bet- ter sale of roses since asters have been gone. E. L. F. Buffalo, N. Y.— The city park com- missioners have awarded to the Lord & Burnham Co. the contract for the erection of the new greenhouse and dome in Delaware park, at a cost of $18,063.

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facilities for fillin^f the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and •o helpful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years. Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch space. Other spaces in proportion. Why not send your order today — ^now — before you forget it?

Harry Young & Son, who opened a flower store on Maryland avenue last week, say they are well pleased with their first week's business. They make an attractive show in their windows. Among those who had large fall open- ing decorations last week were C. Young & Sons Co., Chas. Beyer, F. W. Bruenig, Wm. Schray & Sons and San- ders Nurseries. The entire Smith force spent an en- joyable afternoon Sunday, September 24, at Kirkwood, on a crawfish hunt. Those in the party were Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ossick, Mr. and Mrs. P. Patton, Mr. and Mrs. O. Kuehn, Frank Windier, Miss Eose Windier and Wm. Vogel. Geo. Angermueller and Chas. Schoenle had great luck on their recent fishing trip to Spanish lake. Both came home loaded down with fish. W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, who in- troduced the Mazzura violets to the local trade, says that he has fine plants this year and expects a large cut this season, even though last summer was a hard one on violet plants. The committee that has the Chicago trip in charge will call a meeting this week of all who expect to make the trip, and decide on the road to carry the party and make other necessary ar- rangements for the trip.

In some parts of our town it is not allowed to put up wooden structures, on account of the danger of fire. This keeps me from putting up a lath house that I need for my plants. Do you know of a structure, made of material that is not combustible and at the same time not too expensive, that would answer the purpose of an ordi- nary lath house f A reply from any reader would greatly oblige. A. V. POBTLAND, OBE. With the coming of the fall season, business has taken a decided change. While there is a scarcity of flowers of first quality, the call for funeral work keeps the market depleted of short stock. September has been an unusual month for weddings, the demand for white roses far exceeding the supply. Indications are that the new crop of carnations and roses will soon be on. Mums are coming in slowly; Monrovia and October Frost are the prevailing varieties. Decorative greens are a scarcity. The demand for palms and ferns has livened up considerably with the advance of the season. People are returning from the resorts. E. B. C. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. With cooler weather and almost con- tinuous rains for the last two weeks, business has taken a decided change for the better. Outdoor stock, with the ex- ception of gladioli and a few late asters, is gone, and now we find our- selves again facing a shortage of good cut flowers. Carnations are coming on slowly and it will be some time before the supply will equal the demand. Boses are coming in and now we see some of the better grade of mums of the early varieties, such as October Frost, Monrovia, etc. Various Notes. The Tacoma Dahlia Society gave its first dahlia show on Saturday and Sun- day, September 16 and 17. There were many fine collections, one of which comprised over 300 varieties. This climate seems to be well adapted to the cultivation of this beautiful flower. The stock of the Northwestern Floral Co. was sold last week to J. B. Pilking- ton, of Portland, Ore. Mr. Pilkington intends to carry on a general flower and nursery business. Ed - Goldsack now has charge of the business. A. Seamons, of Van Slyke & Sea- mons, spent part of last week at Cen- tralia and Chehalis, calling on the trade there. He reports everything in that district in fine condition. J. L. S. All Firal-dass Stodt-ftow Reidy to Skip. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. The weather is still quite warm and the nights are long and cool. This is the best condition possible for produc- ing good stock, and never has there been a better showing in September. The asters are well on the wane and mums have almost taken their place.

The prices range a shade less than they did one year ago, as did also the asters all through the season. Carnations are not yet in full crop and the stems on some of them are not as long as we should like to see, but all this will be righted in a few weeks. Boses of the shorter lengths are plentiful enough, but fancy stock is scarce and will be for some time to come. Valley is abundant and does not move extra well. Japanese lilies are getting poor in quality and are about over for the year. Other lines of stock are about as usual. Busi- MentloD The Review when you write.

BAYERSDORFER & CO. 1129 Arch St., Philadelphia ness continues to improve and everyone feels that we are going to have plenty of trade in a short tinae. Various Notes. A. Mann and H. Landsberg have opened a new store in the Hearst Ex- aminer building, which they wiU run as an adjunct to their Eddy street establishment. . It is quite a noticeable fact that the Greeks have driven the Italian huck- sters out of business in the neighbor- hood of the Chronicle building, and where only a basket was formerly the means used to handle the trade the enterprising Greeks have now built elaborate stands to display their wares on. At a meeting called at 324 Grant avenue on the evening of September 13, by several of the leading florists of this city, resolutions were adopted and a permanent organization effected, to be called the Ketail Florists' Association. Over sixty florists of this city signified „ their willingness to become members. A. J. Bossi was elected president and Julius Eppstein secretary. While endeavoring to push a wheel- barrow across the tracks at Forty-third street and H avenue on the morning of September 20, M. Sacchi, a gardener, was struck by an Ocean Beach car and instantly killed. He was well known in that neighborhood and was aged about 50 years. Nothing is known here of his family connections. G. San Francisco, Cal. — The California noral Supply Co., George K. Uno, man- ager, which opened at 31 and 33 Lick place August 15, reports shipping trade steadily increasing from this market. This concern confines its activities to the wholesale business. Portland, Ore. — Martin & Forbes have begun the erection of a range of greenhouses at Forest Grove that will mean a total expenditure of $30,000. The firm owns a 50-acre tract at For- est Grove and also has a 5-acre tract -on the west side of Mount Tabor which is already well covered with green- houses. ^ . . , , ANNOUNCEMENT •• •THE ••m Seattle Cut Flower Exchange L.

No. 1.— Note that the houses shown above, built on Garland IRON gutters, remained standing; relaxing and replacing a few sashbars will make them as good as new. The two photographs reproduced above show the path of a tornado that struck the range of Peter Rein- berg, that of George Reinberg and the one operated by Chas. Handel (known as the Schafer place) early Mon- day morning, September 18, 1911. Photo No. 1 shows Peter Reinberg's houses. These were all built on Garland Iron Gutters and they remained standing. Photo No. 2 shows the range operated by Chas. Handel and back of it the establishment of George Reinberg, just across the street from the others. These houses were built with wooden gutters and they went fiat to tiie ground. At the extreme right rear of the first illustration appear the same demolished wooden gutter houses that are shown in the middle background at the right of the second illustration. The effect on these three ranges across which the storm swept shows conclueively that Houses Built on Garland Iron Gutters IfVlil Stand when wooden gutter houses let go. A Garland Gutters are now made semi-malleable. They are stronger and more durable than any other gutters known. USE THE CO The Geo.

K No. 2. — Note the deetruction wrought here, where wooden gutters were in use; many of the houses were completely demolished and must be entirely rebuilt. • ...... While the two photographs teach a big lesson to prospective buyers of greenhouse material, an even greater lesson than is shown at first glance is provided. It brings out this pertinent question: Iff the iron gutter houses stand under the same strains that demolish the wooden gutter houses, how much stronger would the former houses be iff iron frame construction had been used throughout? It is practically certain that with Garland iron frame construction all the sashbars would have held also and the only damage would then have been the broken glass. Peter Reinberg estimates his loss at $20,000 and all his houses were left standing. George Reinberg's loss is much heavier.

Those Canadian peas won't come in free for awhile, anyway. Visited Chicago: S. A. Wilson, of the L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, Wis. The S. S. Uranium, from Eotterdam, arrived at New York September 20 with 354 cases of Dutch bulbs consigned to H. Van Emden and one case for G. Muller & Co. The seed trade in general had hoped for and expected reciprocity with Canada and is disappointed that the commercial barrier between the two countries should be maintained. Sweet corn in Nebraska is standing well, but is late. Qrowers state that if frost holds off long enough to permit maturing the crop the Stowell's Ever- green sbould fill contracts 100 per cent. Ralph M. Wakd & Co., New York, received 516 cases of Paper Whites and Bomans on the S. S. Madonna, from Marseilles, that docked September 18. The same boat brought thirty-six cases of bulbs consigned to order. The late varieties of potatoes grown for seed in Wisconsin are giving a good crop, but the supply is not thought likely to break prices, as inquiries are numer- ous and call for quotations on large quantities, especially south and west. Peter Henderson & Co., New York, received 100 bags of spinach seed via Hamburg September 20. The same boat brought thirty-six bags of spinach con- signed to J. W. Hampton, Jr., & Co., and 384 bags of grass seed for Henry Nun- gesser & Co. Successful crops of vine seeds last year in southwestern Kansas led some growers to increase their contracts there, but this season the crops have been an almost total failure, one house reporting that it will not get its stock seed back on certain varieties put out in Kearney county. Each week the Board of General Ap- praisers passes on some more of those old hyacinth duty protests. September 11 Wm. Elliott & Sons' case was decided and September 13 that of Wm. Hagemann & Co. In each instance the Board sustains the protest on the authority of Beck vs. United States. Mention The Review when you write. NEW GLADIOLI "Niagara" ud "Panama" Orange. Mass. Sept 13th. 1911.

Our stocks of Christmas- Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the larg- est growers of this increas- ingly popular flower, as to the trueness and quality of our seed, earliness of bloom- ing period, and strength and habit of plants.

Winterson's Seed Store 166 North Wabash Avenue, CHICAGO aienttoo The Review wuen rou write issued about October 1, from which the following is quoted: "While garden peas and Golden Self -Blanching celery have been in ex- tremely short supply for the last two years, yet never before in the history of the seed trade have there been so many or such alarming shortages as in seed crops of 1911. There is almost a famine, not only in peas and French- grown Golden Self-Blanching celery, but also in nearly all the beets, man- gels, carrots and parsnips, as well as in certain cabbages, radishes and turnips. Eastern-grown cucumbers are only one- fourth to one-half a crop. California sweet peas average little more than half a crop. Our crops of Connecticut- grown Eed Globe and Yellow Globe onions are also, unfortunately, short in yield of seed, while Gibraltar onion is almost a complete failure. ' ' In our extensive travels the past summer (more than 30,000 miles) the only country in Europe where we found seed crops uniformly good was De»- mark. On both the islands of Amager and Zealand the crops of cabbage and cauliflower were better than we have seen for years and the seed should pos- sess unusual vitality, so that our mar- ket gardener friends can well afford to purchase a two years' supply." The Burpee circular on sweet pea novelties and the advance offer on sweet peas were issued, as usual, Sep- tember 20. TULIPS IN HOLLAND. Last year the prices for tulips were generally so low that some growers had to pay more rent for the ground than they received for the bulbs. Such va- rieties as La Eeine, Yellow Prince, Mu- rillo, etc., once rather expensive, were sold for nearly nothing. The general opinion was that too many tulips were grown in the bulb country.

Cheap- price Bugaboo has a mort- gage on their intellect at the rate of about 50*^ per annum. And those are the very fel- lows who kick the most — they couldn't kick more if they had their bed spread on a donkey-engine. They buy cheap stuff for little money and immediately forget what they pay but never forget how bad the stock is after it is forced. They have in- grown ideas of their own, and you can't tell them anything nor reason with them. They are almost as bad as the pro- fessional canceler of orders — the worst and meanest kicker on the face of the globe. Just the kind that would insist upon a one- armed man taking up a church collection— they don't even trust themselves. They are so used to dealing with the Wooden-shoe Hikers from Holland that they think there is no honor left in the world. So, when you buy bulbs for little money, expect little value and you will not be much disappointed ; but if you pay a fair price and in- sist upon a good article, you will be better off. Then, re- member that the profit in your business is not regulated by the amount of pot- wallop- ing you do but by the kind of pot- walloping you can get others to do for you plus your ability to market the goods.

The ground is thor- oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, zad when the lily bulbs are planted no fresh manure is used; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and thatured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk.and when this is disposed of we ^all have no more to offer. While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest^our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stodc gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure btryers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bmnuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest buU» that we offer are 6-7 inch btdbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; fuU thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000 FERNS We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties- good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the most critical buyers.

R. riERSON CO., TAKRYTOWH-ONHDDSON, N.Y. Mention The Review when vou write As has been stated previously, the harvest of first size bulbs has been mod- erate this year. The size of the bulbs was generally smaller than in other sea- sons, especially in the earlier kinds. From these, also, the scales were badly split, so that only a part of the stock eould be sold, for though the bulbs from which the scale has been split grow and flower as well as the others, the exporters do not send them to their customers. The only method of keep- ing the scales of tulips quite sound is to cut the leaves while they are still green, and leave the bulbs, after this operation, a week or a fortnight in the earth. The quality of the bulbs is much better than in many of the foregoing years, and perhaps in consequence of that a good demand and an active trade were expected. In the first days of the season the trade in tulips was slow and it seemed this season would be like the others, but afterwards the prices became higher and higher, and now the trade is as active as possible. The stock of the Darwin tulips, and of all the May- flowering kinds, has been nearly cleared, and the stock of the best va- rieties of the early tulips is becoming rather short. The growers, that is, those who do not export but only grow, are content with this season. Of the May-flowering tulips, the Dar- wins had the largest demand, and es- pecially the trade varieties, as Clara Butt, Margaret, White Queen, Pride of Haarlem, Edmee, Isis, Zulu Faust, etc. are already all sold ofif. The red and scarlet kinds, and also the mauve, were first sold off.

THE BOSTON CONVENTION. The convention of the Vegetable Growers ' Association of America, which closed September 22 in Boston, was tke most successful yet held. There were many present, especially from New England, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, a considerable number also coming from more distant states. President B. L. Watts found the lec- ture hall of the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society's building well filled when he opened proceedings September 19. Acting Mayor Collins extended the felicitations of the city of Boston. President Harry F. Hall, of the Boston Market Gardeners' Association, ten- dered the visitors a hearty welcome to Boston. E. A. Dunbar, of Ashtabula, O., responded suitably, after which President Watts read his address. Sec- retary Severance, of Louisville, reported twenty-four states and provinces repre- sented in the association, with 214 mem- bers. These numbers received a sub- stantial increase during the convention. The reports of the state vice-presi- dents were given by H. F. Hall; that of the committee on transportation by J. W. Eice, of Ashtabula, O.; membership, by H. F. Hansen, of Attleboro, Mass., and legislation by T. C. Johnson, of Norfolk, Va. The subjects discussed Tuesday evening, "The French and English Styles of Vegetable Forcing," by David Lumsden, Durham, N. H., and "Marketing," bv Paul Work, Ithaca, N. Y., the latter illustrated by the stere- opticon, drew large audiences and the discussions were animated. Quite a number of additional mem- bers were on hand for Wednesday's sessions. In the morning J. Lockie Wil- son, of Toronto, spoke entertainingly on "The Horticultural Organizations of Canada." The remaining morning ad- dress was on "Pre-cooling and Cold Storage of Vegetables." In the after- noon the visitors, accompanied by many local growers, inspected a number of the large market gardens near Boston, including those of Wyman Bros., Crosby Bros., W. W. Bawson & Co., Hittinger Fruit Co., Waban Gardens and others. A local committee looked well after the wants of the visitors. W. E. Cobb, of the Lord & Burnham Co., and H. B. FuUerton, Medford, L. I., spoke respectively on ' * Greenhouse Con- struction and Heating" and "Open Air Opportunities." Both addresses were illustrated and gave rise to much dis- cussion. September 21 members were greatly interested in the great vegetable show gotten up for their benefit, but found time for considerable business. B, C. Haines, of Norfolk, Va. , spoke on ' ' Truck Crop Rotation as Practiced by Hotbed Growers of Norfolk." "Good Seeds for Market Gardeners" created a lively discussion, in the course of which free seeds were roundly con- demned as being Of political significance only. A resolution embodying the views of the meeting was voted sent to the Secretary of Agriculture at Washing- ton. The annual election of officers re- sulted as follows: President, H, F. Hall, Brighton, Mass.; vice-president, C. West, Rochester, N. Y. ; secretary, S. W. Sev- erance, Louisville; treasurer, M. L.

The time and place of next meeting was left, according to custom, to the executive committee. A committee was appointed to prepare a report on uniform packages in which to ship produce, and this committee will report at the next meeting. The last lecture was by C. W. Waid, New Carlisle, O., on ' ' What Experiment Stations are Doing for Vegetable Grow- ers." On the afternoon of the closing day, interest centered in the great vege- table show, but many delegates visited other market gardens as well as places of historical interest. In the evening a banquet was tendered at the Hotel Somerset by the Boston Market Garden- ers ' Association, over 400 being present. The vegetable exhibition surpassed in extent any previously held in Boston. In spite of a dry summer, and unusually early frosts, the entries were numerous and quality excellent. Main interest centered in the collection classes. For twenty varieties arranged for effect, Edwin Jenkins, of Lenox, Mass., cap- tured the $100 prize, Col. F. Mason, E. L. Lewis, gardener, being second, and Alan Jenkins, Lenox, third. There were four other entries. For twelve varieties of vegetables, limited to commercial growers, Waban Gardens led, followed by Col. F. Mason and J. B. Shurtleflf. The private gardeners captured the lion 's share of the big premiums. Some of the more successful contestants, in addition to those already named, were: Oliver Ames, Edward Parker, gardener; W. J. Clemson, J. O. Christiansen, gardener; Mrs. Lester Leland, Eric Wetterton, gardener; A. W. Preston, J. L. Smith, gardener, and Geo. E, White, while among the commercial growers, Crosby Bros., Wyman Bros., G. H.

Many southern nurserymen, especiaUy the pecan growers, will attend. The late Lewis Chase, the Bochester nurseryman, is said to have left an estate of $126,000, of which $100,000 is per- sonal property. To Charles H. Chase, a son, 100 shares of stock in the Chase Bros. Nursery Co. and a farm at Sidney, Me., are bequeathed. To his cousin, Julia Chase Washburn, of North Livermore, Me., a farm of 140 acres near that town is left. THE METHODS OF MABKETINO. [An extract from a speech by Jim Parker, of Tecumseb, Oklahoma, at the St. Lonia conren- tioD of the American Association of Nursery- men.] It is the province of the wholesale nurseryman to notice the trend of plant- ing in the great fruit growing districts, to watch the public approval or disap- proval of the different varieties and govern his plantings accordingly, to fos- ter and encourage all movements for the beautifying of the cities, and to see that the supply of nursery stock is al- ways up to the demand. In the whole- sale nurseryman is centered that power and knowledge that give stability and dignity to the business. The retail nurseryman keeps in touch with local demands. He prepares those breezy advertisements which make the city man lonesome. He is constantly on the outlook for opportunities of increas- ing sales. If there is a large crop of apples in any community, he is ready to rush his salesmen in and push the sale of apple trees. If some farmer makes good money out of a peach crop, he is ready to offer that farmer's neigh- bors a chance to get rich growing peaches. If there is a glut in the whole- sale market, or a peculiar condition which causes the market to drop, thus offering him an opportunity for unusual profit, he is Johnny-on-the-spot and he knows just in which neck ox the woods to go and sell trees. What of the local nurseryman f His neighbors do not buy of him. They would tell you that they mean to, but they don't. It is human nature not to do the things we may do any time.

The surer a community is that the local nurseryman is honest and has good stock, the more surely works the ma- chinery of delay. I have been up against the proposition, kept tab, and know how it goes. Out of twenty men who would look me squarely in the eye and say, "Jim, you're a bully good fellow; I'm coming to your nursery to get 100 trees," I would make one sale. The real work of selling nursery stock, on final analysis, is found to de- pend on the personal influence of the traveling salesman. Did you ever have one of those smiling "knights of the grip" come into the field where you were plowing? He did not put on any airs. He only quietly told you his name was Jones, and then added in a pe- culiarly friendly tone, "John Jones." And the way he said John made you feel that you were not much interested in wl)ether his name was Jones or Smith — John was the name by which he should be known to you. It was not necessary for John to make inquiry about your wife and chDdren and your growing crops. There was that pe- culiar feeling of good fellowship in his voice and manner which made you know that he was interested in you and yours. In his cheerful presence your griefs were soon forgotten and your blues stole softly away. Then do you remember how you and John sat down on the plow handles and looked at the pictures in his book! He did not pre- sume to advise or argue with you, but somehow his interested and suggestive way of asking about your plans started you to thinking and planning, and as your plans developed in your own mind, you were glad to have your friend John by your side to help you work out the de- tails and get things right. Trade with John? Of course you do. He is the sort of a man you like to do business with.

Beptbmbbr 28, 1911. man a chance to do Ms best, I do not mean that we should make cheap prices. The question of opportunity and hon- esty is not necessarily dependent on whether prices are high or low. I mean we should give the salesman a square deal, that our catalogues and instruc- tions to salesmen should tell the truth; that, no difference whether we sell an apple tree for $1 or for 10 cents, that apple tree should be as good a tree as we promise and bear the fruit we say it will. Uniform prices to the retail trade are not practicable. There are com- munities where sales are light and con- sequently higher prices must be charged. There is the city trade, which demands the largest and best trees. The actual cost of the tree may not be more than 2 cents above the cost of grades sold in thousand lots to farmers, but the cost of selling one to a dozen trees to a customer and handling the business as the city trade demands may make it necessary to charge 50 cents per tree more in the city than in the country. It is written in the Book: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." If a stranger walks up to a group of ten people, nine of them will size him up iibout right. The fact that this is true proves that the Creator has writ- ten and is writing on our faces and forma just what we are. God does nMU<;ht by halves. The fact that we can read part of the writing proves that it is all written. If a traveling £>»le3?iian carries in his own mind the consciousness that he is giving real value for the money and doing a real service to the community in which he sells trees, his very looks will inspire confidence in the minds of the people. If the nurseryman who employs him has loaded him up with a mess of trickery and a bundle of lies to be dickered off on the people, that man will know in his own mind that he is playing the rascal and there wUl be something about him which wUl, in spite of his glib tongue and polished appearance, cause the people to doubt him. He will be constantly under the necessity of sparring for time or scheming for the attention of the people he calls on. And so I say the retail nurseryman wUl increase his business and do the trade a real service by giving his agents a square deal and an honest proposition to offer to the people.

Last week will go on record as one of the poorest of the season. Supplies accumulated to such an extent that no reasonable offer was refused, and large quantities of flowers could not be cleared up. The Jewish holiday made considerable difference to business. With the Hebrew element out of the market for several days, there was a marked falling off in sales. The out- look for this week's business was bet- ter, but such unwieldy quantities of as- ters, dahlias and carnations seemed to overwhelm every one. Some fine roses are to be seen and the better grades move fairly well, but there is a veritable deluge of short - stemmed blooms of Killarney, Brides, Maids and any quantity of Cochets. Carnations are rather more plentiful, but are not selling well and any num- ber could be had on the streets. Golden Glow mums seem to move a trifle better and will be seen in large quantities this season. The chrysan- themum, not satisfied with its own sea- son, is overlapping on the aster and the dahlia. October Frost made its appear- ance in fine form September 23. Tube- roses are exceptionally scarce and in excellent demand. Various Notes. The fifth annual dahlia show is held this week at the greenhouses of B, Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., at Cowenton. Nearly forty acres are planted in dah- lias alone and about fifteen acres in cannas. It is one of the best displays that this firm has ever shown and the Gardeners' and Florists' Club attended on Wednesday in a body, as that was Florists' day. James Hamilton has finished glazing his new house, 40x200, which is the most up to-date house built around Baltimore this season. Mr. Hamilton is one of the largest growers of car- nations in the state. F. C. Bauer will give a talk at the club in the near future on his travels in Europe and what he saw there.

A CHANGE IN SIZE OF FIFE. We wish to replace some 4-inch cast- iron pipe with 2-inch wrought-iron pipe. Please tell us how many runs of 2-inch returns will he required to take the place of the following 4-inch: Four 4-inch pipes under each of two benches and five 4-inch under another bench. We intend to use 2-inch for returns under the benches. How large should the feed be for each of these! The first two coils are eighty-five feet long and the other is 100 feet long. All the flows will be taken off from a large main flow at the end of the houses. J. N. C. As a rule it will be advisable to substitute two 2-inch pipes for each 4- inch, so that there will be eight 2-inch pipes under two of the benches and ten under the other. A 3-inch pipe will be needed to supply each of the coils. If overhead flow pipes are run through the house and connected with the coils at the farther end, the num- ber of the 2-inch returns in each coil may be reduced by two. If 21/^-inch flows are used, there should not be more than four 2-inch returns in each coil. In that case, five flows and five return coils of four pipes each will be required. IN SOUTHWESTEEN OHIO. Please give me a heating plan for a greenhouse of the following dimen- sions: It is 30x50 feet, fourteen feet to the ridge and has 6-foot walls, with two feet of glass in the north wall and three feet of glass in the south wall. The east gable is glass; the west end adjoins a stable, which will be used as a boiler room. Hot water heat will be used. The boiler pit is three or four feet deep. The temperature de- sired is 60 degrees when the outside temperature is at zero. What size of expansion tank will be necessary! iShould it be put above the boiler or can it be put in the greenhouse! The house will contain five benches, three of them five and a half feet wide and the other two three feet wide. Will a boiler rated at 3,050 feet be much too large for a house of this size! E. S. The house will require three 2i^-inch flow pipes and eighteen 2-inch returns. One flow pipe can be supported on each of the side walls and the other from the ridge. Five or six of the return pipes can be carried on each wall and Style II A SPECIAL GREENHOUSE Thennostat Arrmnieedwlth hnrmnttoallr fiealed e»t>«: safe from th« hoHt) or daaipn«M«.

A boUer rated for 1,000 square feet of radiating surface is about what is needed and one of 3,050 feet of radiation will be much larger than can be used economically, unless additional houses are to be added later. The expansion tank should hold any- where from five to ten gallons and should be connected with the highest part of the flow pipe. PIPING IN SASKATCHEWAN. We have a small greenhouse, run- ning east and west, which we wish to heat to grow lettuce and general mar- ket crops. The house is 12x100 feet and nine feet from path to ridge, with 8-foot rafters. The walls are three feet high and are built of two-ply lumber. The beds will be solid. The temperature required will be about 50 degrees, with the outside temperature possibly as low as 60 degrees below zero, as we are located in central Sas- katchewan, Canada. There are two doors in the house, one at each end; the one at the west end is closed all winter. We expect to put the boiler house at the east end. Kindly inform us as to the best manner of piping and the amount required. J. C. K. Having had no experience in the heating of greenhouses in a tempera- ture of 60 degrees below zero, the answer will necessarily be largely theoretical. The use of four 2i^-inch flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns is suggested. One flow could be placed upon each plate and the other a foot or so below the ridge. Four returns can be upon each side wall and the others in two coils in the middle walk, if there is one. In case there is no place other than upon the walls, for the returns, they can be placed there and the flow pipes can be arranged as suggested. SETTING A BOILEB. I should like to ask whether there is anything gained by having eighteen to thirty inches of space under a boiler. Our boiler is a common steam boiler, sixteen feet long, with fifty 4-inch flues. It is set ten inches above the pit floor and the ash and grate pit is dug deeper. We are told that a boiler should be set two feet above the bottom of the pit and that a brick wall should be built to within ten inches of the boiler, at the end of the grate. Does this empty space at the back of the grate serve any purpose, except to contain the ashes and save cleaning so often t We use a hot water system. We are also told that there should be a cham- ber three feet wide at the end of the boiler, where the smoke enters the flues. Our flue door is eighteen inches from the end of the boiler, which gives ample room for the smoke to enter the flues, if that is the only duty this space is to perform. J. T. While it is not essential that the space under the boiler, toward the rear, be as much as thirty inches, it would seem that rather more than ten inches would be desirable. The reason for having a space of thirty inches is that it is usually the same as on the other side of the bridge, where a depth of thirty inches is required for the flre- box and ash-pit. Eighteen inches of depth at the rear of the bridge would SPECIMEN PLANS FOR A Modern Heating System are given in the new 1911 catalogue of all steel Wilks Hot Water Boilers The self-feeding fea- ture keeps an even and continuous fire for 12 hours and longer with- out any attention.

"The Kroeschell Generator purchased from you some time since is giving excellent satis- faction . It not only adds lo the capacity of the boiler on account of the increased circulation of the hot water, and consequently less piping is required, but it also seems to maintain 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 accord- ing to your instructions, is not varying more than two degrees all over the house at any time, and I consider that remarkable for so large a house.

If there is no glass in the exposed side walls of the houses, the 24-foot house can be heated with steam by the use of 860 square feet of radiation; the 27-foot houses will each need 920 square feet and the 42-foot house will require 1,500 square feet, making a total for the four houses of 4,200 square feet. To supply this amount of radiating surface, it will be well to use a boiler rated for about sixty horse-power. This would contain about sixty-four 3-inch tubes if twelve feet long, and forty-eight tubes if sixteen feet in length. Rice Lake, Wis. — C. A. Hannemann has built an addition to his greenhouse.

The Market. Trade shows a steady improvement. For a while after the summer holidays there was about as little life in the people as in the business, but the first few days of increasing trade were all the medicine needed. There are lots of fine flowers in the market. Roses were never before as good at this sea- son of the year and the same might be said of carnations, especially Enchant- ress. Lilies, Beauties, valley and orchids are coming in quantities and are good. Asters are about all gone and what are left are not of much account. There are still some good gladioli. Greens of all kinds are plentiful. Various Notes. The last of the, summer vacationists hav.e-. returned, including Mrs. E. A. Williams, who waited until the last minute before leaving her cottage by the lake. Fred Burki is among those who like a good machine and may frequently be seen driving his new Packard car, which he just received last week. De Forest Ludwig has returned to Cornell, after spending the holidays with his parents. John Harris, who is interested in the amusement business in Toledo, O., re- turned last week to push the cut flower business, which is his first choice. Eandolph & McClements think they have the finest stock of crotons in this county and they have some good rea- sons for thinking so. Wm. Lauch, of New Galilee, is con- signing to the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. quantities of fine carnations. Charles Koenig, of Millvale, is send- ing to the same firm especially fine val- ley and lilies. C. -Goodwin & Sons, of Bridgeville, Pa., have several houses of chrysanthe- mums which could not look better, but will not cut many before October 15. H. L. Blind & Bros, report their sum- mer business to have been ahead of last year in both stores and say the in- dications are for a splendid fall busi- ness. They grow mums, roses and car- nations, which are looking fine. Hoo-Hoo. NIKOTEEN APHIS PUNK The moat effective and economical material there Is for Spraying Plants and Blooma.

Asters have al- most outgrown their usefulness, which is quite unusual for this locality. Gladi- oli are getting scarce, but are nicely re- placed by dahlias, which are coming in smaller quantity. Bulbs are now being handled largely, as the imports have arrived. Various Notes. The contract for the new city green- houses has just been awarded to the Lord & Burnham Co. The greenhouses are to "be used for growing stock for outdoor use around the city. William F. Kasting is one of the members of the park board. The Florists' Club will take up its duties again in October. It was first proposed that the club hold a show this year on just the same plan and scale as last year. It has been decided, how- ever, to call it oflE for good reasons. To hold the show on a smaller scale does not appeal to all and so the idea is dropped for the season of 1911. E. A. S. MADISON, N. J. The Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society, after its two months' vacation, met in Masonic hall Septem- ber 13. About forty members were on hand. Everything is progressing to- ward a successful flower show. , With some new classes just added, there will be over eighty. There is plenty of room for the boys that helped us make the great show we had last year. The secretary has now quite a num- ber of entries filed and is ready for more. The show will be held in this city this year. Several additional rooms have been secured. We have outgrown our old clothes. E. E. EAGLE MACHINE WORKS RICHMOND, IND.

FISHEB CBBIIITlOll CUPS i^;- ^' The method of support for Carnation Plants is either a great expense (if ring or patent sup- ports are used), or if the string with twine method is adopted, it becomes a long, thankless job, to be done over and over each sea- son. Here is a simple device that will remedy both expense and labor. Directions for the use of Fisher Clips Stretch No. 18 galvanized wire the length of the bench between each row of carnations, but let the two outside wires over the sides of the bench be of No. 10 galvanized wire. Out No. 18 galvanized wire into lengths the width of your bench and on each end fasten a Fisher Clip. Two men then can walk along each side of the bench and clip the cross wires on the No. 10 side wire with the Fisher Clip just as fast, almost, as they can walk. It is understood, of course, that each cross wire is put between each row of carnations, thus forming in connection with the length wires a square frame or square support for each plant. As the plants grow and need more support a second and even a third set of wire stringers are run in the same manner. When your ]:dant8 are ready to throw out, just unclip your cross wirea and bundle away for use the next season. The Fisher Clip is easily fastened to the side wires, literally with a ' ' grip of steel;" they will not slide, but are warranted to hold just where they are chpped in place. They are made of heavy sheet steel and are copper plated to prevent rusting, and are time savers, for two men working with these clips can string or support as many carnation plants in an hour as it takes two men in five hours using the old white cotton stringing method. Also consider these clips in the light of an investment; once purchased they will last as long as you grow carnations. COST OF THIS METHOD Calculation based on a bench 100 feet long, 6 feet wide, planted to car- nations, consisting of (5 rows with 120 plants to a row. This means 600 ft. of No. 18 gal. wire, for length wires, 3^ lbs. at 5^c per lb $0.20 200 ft. of No. 10 gal. wire, for side length wire, 10 lbs. at 3^c per lb 35 600 ft. of No. 18 gal. wire, for cross wire, 4 lbs. at 5>ic per lb 22 240 Fisher Clips, 2 for each row, one on each side of bench, $5 per 1000. . 1.20 Total $r97 As three sets of wires and cross supports are used, the total cost ol the supporta will not be over $6.00, furnishing ample support for 720 carnation plants, on a "bench 100 feet long by 5 feet wide, and there will be no additional cost to you next year. COMPARISON A three ring wire support costs about $32.00 per 1000, and will support 2000 plants, or $1.60 per 100 plants; one bench has 720 plants, costing $11.50 for this style of support against a cost of only $6.00 by the use of the Fiaher Clip. Your saving will be 50% in cost and by using the Fiaher Clip your plants will be better supported. Try a Few and be Convinced. 60c per lOO; $5.00 per lOOO. E. H. HUNT General Agent 129>13l N.

The people returning home from their summer vacations, the opening of the schools, and numerous store openings, combined with funeral work, livened up matters greatly, but the market remains about the same as at the last report. Various Notes. John Heidenreich and family have returned from a ten weeks ' trip through England, Holland, Trance and Grermany. Baur & Steinkamp say that they have had exceedingly good luck in the propa- gation of poinsettias this year and that the sale of them has been so heavy that they are about sold out. Thomas Peet, of Cambridge City, was a visitor this week, having come to at- tend the Odd Fellows' encampment. A. Wiegand & Sons were busy with store decorations this week. W. P. Craig, of Philadelphia, was a visitor last week. The October meeting of the State Florists' Association is to be held at New Castle, Tuesday, October 3. Flo- rists from' Indianapolis and vicinity leave on the Indianapolis, New Castle and Toledo traction car at 1 p. m. It is expected there will be a large at- tendance at this meeting, as New Cas- tle is always an interesting place for the florists. Oliver Steinkamp is spending a few days in Richmond this week. Mr. Christensen, with the Hummel & Downing Co., Milwaukee, spent a few days with the trade this week. H. L. W. QBEAT NECK, L. I. W. W. Matthews, well known as a large and successful raiser of Freesia Purity, has several additional benches planted to this popular flower. Mums are also extensively grown. An aver- age of four buds to each plant is found most, profitable for market. George Lasher makes carnations and freesias his specialties and has a modern plant, well stocked. Eobert Thomas, gardener to Mrs. Eld- ridge, has a pure white amaryllis, with the calla a^ one parent. The result is a vigorouEFseedling and a valuable ad- dition to this species. He has also a fine sport of Carnation Enchantress that is quite promising. M. S. JACOBS & SONS 1361-1365 Flushing Ave., Brooiclyii, N. Y. Manufacturers and Jobbers in ..

I THE RETAIL FLORIST iSJiSJiS^XSLSSLXKJiS:^} jx' V.Y lar sgTsv-gy ^^^i^^^^l^E^fi^^^^^^ ^2 KANSAS FAIR WEEATH. Cut flowers, and especially the made- up work, are becoming an increasingly attractive feature of the state fairs. The designs seem to make a greater hit than any other display of the florists ' handicraft. At the Kansas state fair this year, H. K. Fisher, of Marysville, took all the blue ribbons for designs and his wreath, lyre and cross were not only a center of attraction for the public equal, almost, to the prize bull, the mammoth pumpkin and the elusive pea, but they elicited the favorable comnlent of the management, which found the feature one to be encour- aged. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a snapshot of Mr. Fisher 's wreath, which was shown on an easel. The body of the design was of the magnolia leaves that have become known of late as the first aid#of the design-maker. The lasting qualities of these leaves are such that they may be carried in stock for an indefinite time, and all the supply houses are doing a big business in them, somewhat at the expense of galax leaves. With a basket of imperishable magnolia leaves and some ribbon always on hand, the retail florist is in position to make an at- tractive design for any occasion, at a moment's notice, almost regardless of his supply of other material. Minus IN DESIGN WORK. while some low-growing plants of har- monious color may be planted as a ground, or autumn leaves may be strewn as a groundwork. The Guiding Principle. In order to use any flowers intelli- gently one must grasp some-thing of the character of the flowers, for they have characters in much the same way as people have. The stem, the leaf and the branches, with their outlines, furnish the form; the manner in which they come together, and their extent, constitute the character. For illustra- tion, take a chrysanthemum stalk of average size, with the foliage. It is comparatively straight, with no side lines except the foliage and perhaps a bud or two which has escaped the disbudding process. This, with the lines which expand into the leaf forms. key to the style of spray or other de- sign which can most correctly be con- structed from the grouping of these particular flowers. Eeturning to the chrysanthemums — the stems being long and fairly straight, we have found the style of spray which is best suited to the chrysanthemum and will proceed to build on that plan. In the finished piece the lines of the stems should be seen as they como together easily and naturally to their source, or the point where they are tied, without any fussi- iiess or cross lines. The Making of a Mum Spray. As a rule the finished mum spray is suffocatingly heavy, even for large, heavy flowers. The backgrounds are too solid. The mums require little more than their own foliage. Let the flow- ers stand out and up, well apart, well ventilated, with their full length of stem. This precaution — throwing the flowers well out and up from the sup- porting surface — is emphatically de- manded for mums of the recurved type. Their own weight on a hard surface flattens the contour of the flowers. It bruises the soft texture and neutralizes the expression. Do not mix different sizes promiscu- ously. Mixing the sizes is one of the things which, when. well done, are stun- ning, .but when carelessly done, are as For Windows and in Sprays. A chrysanthemum window may be arranged to look like an orchard or garden. Along the front of the win- dow, close to the glass, make a hedge of one kind of smaller-sized blooms or blooming plants, perhaps pompons. If cut flowers are used, a' number of jars should be set close together and cov- ered. The jars should be of about equal capacity and height, so that the hedge shall bo neat and trim. Bronze would be a gf od volor for the hedge, and yellow l<'i the exhibit flowers proper. Ha; -isome specimens of yellow mums, one to a tall vase, may be set quite close together. They should be seen quite a distance above. the hedge, in ^uAcient numbers to make a stunning display. For a break in this arrangement or foi' a separate window, make a chrysan- themum tree after the style of the standard plants. Use large, long- stemmed flowers in a high triampet vase. Such flowers as are not strong, but particularly long-stemmed, will - be the ■ most serviceable. Wire them, if nei^essary, to keep them in the form of an , umbrella-shaped tree. The flowers and their foliage will form the top of the tree, and the vase will make a goqd trunk, if wrapped with bark. If this design is used as the sole window display, the hedge descri-bed in the first design will make a good finish, .^ ^■J ^» ,.*^ , 1 m-. ^g^ . * • « r # 1 '^m i— ^ \ ^ ^Sl_ fl l|,^ ^^'.^r/^ 1 ' i •1 ^-1 : J 1 > f^^'-'i ■^\ y^ f t . ®- m^ > ^ ~ ^ 1 ^ ,r^ ^ Prize Wreath at the Kansas State Fair. makes a simple and nearly straight set of lines. As an extreme in the other direction, make a little analysis of the forget-me- nots. Nearly every stem takes a de- cided curve at the, tip; side branches are numerous and we have a rather complicated set of lines before we get through. Of what practical use is this analysis? Just thig: It gives us the good as a mud pie. Let one size have a definite relation to the other and let the relation be clearly apparent, as in the case of the small mums in the hedge, with the larger ones of the principal exhibit, for the window de- sign mentioned at the beginning of this article. /X. As a background for a mum spray try some natural wheat.

Bring the stems through and tie over the stems of the mums, in place of ribbon. Wild brier foliage in autumn tints gives a desirable tone to chrysanthemum baskets and sprays. Other Flowers With Mums. Mixing with other flowers, in the or- dinary meaning of the term, is not to be tolerated with mums. If, however, -'■»»- with valley or Soman hyacinths, and one would likewise admire the exquis- ite veiling which Stevia serrata would throw upon a casket bunch of yellow mums, while equally desirable would be a streak of brilliant ampelo^is with the berries, streaked through from the stem to the tip of a fine, large spray, of light cream mums. As de- lightful a combination would be a long- stemmed spray of bronze mums with a tie of Perle roses.' " Dahlia Display at A. ^iegand & Sons^ Indianapolis, September 26, 1911. it means the introduction of some other flower in streaks, showers, stem, tie or veiling effects, many of them will bl welcome additions. For in- stance, a spray of medium-sized helio- trope mums may be tied with a spray of American Beauty buds, but when it comes to laying in a Beauty and a mum and a Beauty and a mum — never, for the sake of both Beauties and mums. One could look with pleasure upon a spray of white mums showered with violets, or a spray of pink showered A quick analysis of the style of flower and an intelligent blending of size and kind, then, characterize both fine taste and catchy designing. G. B. WIDTH VERSUS LENGTH. The average flower store is deep and narrow, but a good many retailers are coming to see an advantage in the store that is wide and shallow. The first such stores were built in these pro- portions to meet the necessities imposed by the shape of the space available, as was the case with the Muir. store shown ^ in the accompanying illustrations. It stands on Michigan avenue, in- Chicago, and covers the front of a range 'of greenhouses, giving an attrtictive ap^- pearance where nothing else would be in keeping, on one of the best city streets. But the wide front has many advantages. Probably the first of these is the opportunity for display; the store certainly makes a vastly better showf ing to the stream of people passing than would be the case were the front to consist of only one window, as is usual with narrow stores. Here are fifty-five feet of plate glass and the window decorator has scope for the dis- play of all his abilities. But another decided advantage in the shallow store is that the customer who enters gets a look at the entire place. How many retailers have noticed with regret that customers seldom get to the back of their deep stores; that it is practically dead space after the first thirty feet or so 1 Did you ever notice tluit the big, popular bargains advertised by the department stores are almost alwiays found, when one looks for them, in some far corner? ' They are tfying to draw the people into the dead space'. The florist with the shallow store' ias no dead space, and the wider his store is the more live space he has. • People will walk back and forth, across the front (^. a wide, store who will not walk to the rear of a deep biit faatroW" one'.' One of the pictures shows the street front of the Muir store and the other shows the view from one sidd tdWard the other, with the show windows on the right and the oflSce, refrigerator and ribbon case on the left.. The store proper is only twenty feet deep. KETAIL AOVE^TISINO. That florist selling at retail who makes no use of his local newspapers is neglecting the most powerful trade in- fluence in his community. Every florist ought to advertise — it's not necessary, perhaps, but "out of sight, out of mind," is as true today as ever it was. There is no way one can keep in sight of so many people as by carrying stead- ily an advertisement in the paper read by the people you want to reach. What the advertisement should be de- pends on many things, but it should by Wide Ftontage of Muir's Retail Store, on Midii|[an Avenue, ducngo. \ •'•.-.' -■ ~^7^'''-SJ\:: ^fpu ■,,ite Enchantress — Onicago Carnation first: Poehlmann Bros.

The closest competition and the most attractive feature of the entire dis- play was found in the retaiKwork. Four premiums were offered in most of the classes and in nearly every instance all the money was won. Two Chicago exhibitors and several from "down state" competed with the local florists. It was a showing of design work and table decorating such as before never has been seen at the State Fair.

A meeting of five members of the executive committee of the Illinois State Florists' Association was held at the State Fair, Springfield, 111., Octo- ber 3. C. L. Washburn presided. It was decided to hold the annual conven- tion and exhibition at Joliet March 5, 1912. NEW YOBEL The Market. Seasonable weather has come at last. A change for the better is inevitable and already the outlook is more cheer- ful. The asters and gladioli are prac- tically out of the running. This week should see their finish, and the first sharp frost will end the dahlia ship- ments. Dahlias were superb last week, and yetr4t was hard to dispose of the best in' quality at over $1 per hundred. The medium and lower grades brought hardly the cost of express. Chrysanthemums are coming now and the daily increase is noticeable. From all accounts, the local growers are loaded to the muzzle with them, and we may.>s well prepare for a tremen- dous flood. Already fine stock is here, good enough to bring $2 to $3 per dozen. Notwithstanding the oft repeated lesson of the folly of sending violets to the New York market before the middle of October, hundreds of boxes came in during the hot spell last week. The best, used in limited quantities by the retail stores, sold at 30 cents per hun- dred, but this demand did not use up ten per cent of the shipments. It will not be easy work to get the price back to a paying basis. The wholesalers who guaranteed a certain figure for these early boxes mus1> needs be expert math- ematicians. Lily of the valley has dropped one- third in price and the best lilies seldom bring above $5 per hundred. The orchid supply must have many sources, for the quantity in the market daily is remark- able. It is an unexpected humiliation that these gems of floriculture should be offered on the street, and in the big stores, at prices that cheapen them with the class who willingly pay good prices for the best of things. Fortu- nately, some large funeral orders last week slightly relieved the congestion. Carnations have improved wonder- fully during the last ten days, both in stem and flower, and while the short stock drags slowly at 50 cents a hun- dred, some of the selected has been held at $2.50, with an upward tendency. The hot weather made havoc with the roses, and of the short-stemmed new stock there was a great surplus. The new varieties, however, held well, and the select Bride, KUlarney and Rich- mond brought satisfactory returns. The general aemand by the retail stores is light. The majority are wait- ing for something to turn up. Various Notes. The October meeting of the New York Florists' Club will be held next Monday evening, October 8, at the rooms in the Grand Opera House build- ing. There will be exhibits and re- freshments, and an address by J, K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, on "The Horticultural Outlook." The auction houses are now well filled with buyers every Tuesday and Friday, and the variety of stock offered is attractive. Among the retaUers bid- ding last week were Myer, of Madison avenue, and Stumpp, lately returned from a summer tour of Europe, in com- pany with W. H. Siebrecht, Sr., of Chappaqua. Some of the palms offered brought as high as $40 each. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Trepel will cele- brate their tin wedding October 20. E, S. Gorney, who has been with Mr. Trepel during the last year, returns to Wax Bros., Boston, where he was em- ployed for ten years before coming to New York. There are rumors of several additions to the ranks of the wholesale florists from the list of ambitious lieutenants. Charles Millang and family have re- turned from the mountains. In his ab- sence his home was robbed for the second time. On the first occasion Mr. Millang was at home and captured the robber. This time Charles was happy to find his fur coats had eluded the eyes of the thief, but about $50 in cash and some silverware are gone. Several from New York went to Philadelphia October 3 to attend the Florists Club's banquet on the occasion of its silver anniversary. An executive committee meeting of the American Rose Society was held at the ofiice of Traendly & Schenck Sep- tember 28. W. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, and Benj. Hammond, of Fishkill, were • in the city. Dan Cameron, representing Sander & Son, arrived from London September 29. Large importations of bulbs, plants, etc., arrived last week at the port of New York for A. T. Boddington, Mc- Hutchison & Co., Ralph M. Ward & Co., Stumpp & Walter Co., J. M. Thor- burn & Co., O. V. Zangen, H. F. Dar- row, A. Rolker & Sons, Reed & Keller, F. R. Pierson Co., W. E. Marshall & Co. and others, the aggregate being enormous. These are busy days and nights with the bulb dealers. Seeds- men's travelers report the spring out- look excellent. Walter Mott, representing Wm. Elliott & Sons, was in the city over Sunday on his way to Boston and Newport. H. A. Bunyard has been on the sick list with a severe cold, and is taking a short rest in the country. Kessler Bros, have opened their wholesale cut flower department and have some expert growers on their list. J. W. Merritt, of Brooklyn, added . spice to his experience last month by consummating an elopement. The young couple have since received the parental blessing. McKinney, at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street, has surprised his friends by the announcement that the handsome little lady who presides at his desk is to be addressed as Mrs. Mc- Kinney hereafter. The wedding took place several weeks ago. Mr. McKinney had a handsome decoration last week at Delmonico's. Arthur Merritt was the designer. Walter Siebrecht, of Siebrecht & Sie- brecht, celebrated his birthday Septem- ber 28 with a theater party and dinner. Geo. Siebrecht, of the firm, has been ^ on the sick list with a severe cold. ...ft Alex. McConnell had the decorationv for the funeral of Mrs. Kingdon, the ..

Nearly 2,000 orchids were used in the work. Bonnot Bros, have begun their regu- lar fall shipments of roses. The handsome celosia plants in M. C. Ford's windows have departed; the demand for them was immediate. This house is handling superb Beauties. Bussin & Hanfling have rented the large store over Kessler Bros, and com- pletely filled it with their basket im- portations and novelties. Mr. Brown, of Mann & Brown, Eich- mond, Va., was one of the visitors at Boddington's last week. Mr. Bodding- ton says Darwin tulips are in wide de- mand. A call on the Brooklyn wholesalers found all cheerful and optimistic. Kueb- ler's supply department is growing. Bon- net & Blake are receiving excellent rose and carnation stock from their Jersey and Long Island growers. The Greater New York Association held its regular monthly meeting last week. Manager Crawbuck says it was a good year, but that he expects to double it this sea- son. His son is one of the office force. D. Fuerstenberg, the big Philadelphia grower, was a visitor last week. Bowling. The New York bowlers commence the new season's work Friday evening, October C. Monday afternoon, October 9, the members of the club will bowl at Thum 's alleys and all are invited, as well as any florists from out of town. Every Wednesday evening the Ruther- ford Bowling Club meets at its alleys at Carlton Hill, N. J. This club will shortly bowl a match game with New York.

BOSTON. Tbe Market. Outdoor flowers are rapidly passing. More frosts and frequent rains have ruined many of them^ and indoor flow- ers are once more in the ascendant. Roses are steadily improving in quality. They are much more plentiful, but are selling rather better than a week ago. There are, however, many of the short stems which go at $1 per hundred. Beauties are now exceptionally good, with fine stems. Killarney and White Killarney are as good and popular as ever and Mrs. Ward sells well. Prince de Bulgarie and Lady Hillingdon both catch the popular favor. Few of the old Bride and Maid are seen. Richmond still has the field among red roses. Carnations are much more abundant and stems are quite good on the early planted stock. Those who have White Wonder and Qloriosa are well pleased with them. Violets are coming from quite a few growers. As yet they are confined to singles. In addition to Golden Glow, there are now October Frost and Marquis de Montmort chrys- anthemums. Lilies are not plentiful, but demand is light. Valley is over- abundant. Cattleya labiata is now com- ing from several growers. There is also a good variety of other season- able orchids. Dahlias are coming from some grow- ers. They do not sell well here, how- ever. Asters are short-stemmed and nearing the end. Cosmos is abundant; so is candytuft, but neither sells well. There is a somewhat better call for asparagus and adiantum. Some flower- ing plants are already appearing, in- cluding Lorraine begonias nicely bloomed. All the stores are now featur- ing crotons, palms, ferns and other pot plants and business in this line is look- ing up. Various Notes. Thos. Roland was first in the mar- ket with pink chrysanthemums and is making fine daily shipments of Mar- quis de Montmort. The Boston Rose Co., Pember- ton square, is receiving excellent ship- ments of carnations from Peter Fisher; also a fine line of roses, including Rich- mond, Hillingdon, Killarney and Beau- ties from the Montgomery Co., South Hadley, Mass. H. L. Shedd, of South Lowell, has the finest Golden Glow mums I have seen this season. Miss Lillian Alderson, for three years at the Swanley School of Horticulture in England, is now instructress at the Ladies' School of Horticulture, Groton, Mass. This school is making good head- way and has turned out some capable lady gardeners. Robert Cameron is lec- turer here on practical gardening, and is the right man for the position. John Barr, of South Natick, grows such fine carnations that he never has any difficulty in disposing of his flow- ers. His Pink Delight, White Perfec- tion, Fenn and Beacon are superb. Scar- let Glow also is well liked. L. E. Small, of Tewksbury, is strong on White Wonder, Scarlet Glow and Gloriosa carnations. The funeral of General Samuel C. Lawrence, of Medford, brought out the finest display of floral souvenirs seen here for years. Julius Zinn, who resides in Medford, had many fine designs. I saw some excellent ones also at J. Newman & Sons', on Tremont street. Galvin's, MacMulkin's, Penn's and other stores all had a share of the orders. Albert Roper, of Tewksbury, now has large dally shipments of carnations. These include a number of Mr. Roper's own seedlings. Thomas Pegler is doing a rousing business these days. He has added Blue Label valley to his regular lines and the quality makes it sell on sight. The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. is hav- ing excellent dahlia displays at its store from the Marblehead dahlia farms. They have a complete cold storage plant for lilies and lily of the valley, selling large quantities of both. Henry M. Robinson & Co. have com- pleted the alterations to their ice chests and now have everything in running order for fall business. They keep eight men busy the year around in their wire frame department, making all they sell. Recent visitors have included H. A. Barnard, representing Stuart Low & Co., Enfield, England, looking as young as ever; F. G. Sealy, Rutherford, N. J., representing Julius Roehrs Co., and H. Weezenar, with Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., all reporting good fall business. September gave us a rather lower temperature than the average, with more cloudy and showery days. The month did not keep up its reputation of being the wettest in the year, the rain- fall being less than three inches, not half what we had in August. Wheeler & Co. of Waban, and Paul de Nave, of Fall River, are each cutting a nice crop of Cattleya labiata. The annual chrysanthemum show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society will be held November 9 to 12. Last year no show was held, but everything points to a fine exhibition this season. Between seeding orchid flowers, look- ing over furniture and buying soli- taires, Geo. W. Butterworth is a busy man these days. The big Brockton fair, the leading institution of its kind in New England opened October 3 and drew the usual immense attendances. In cut flowers dahlias were, as usual, the leading fea- ture, being largely shown by J. K. Alex- ander, G, H. Walker, W. D. Hathaway, W. P. Lothrop and many other special- ists. Several growers are this week bring- ing in Polly Rose and Pacific chrysan- themums. These average a few days later than a year ago, as, indeed, do almost all varieties of mums, due to the prolonged heat wave. Carl Jurgens, of Newport, is sending Welch Bros, superb valley, which has been having a wonderful sale of late. W. N. Craig. LIVING UP TO A NAME. The following is too good for me to enjoy alone. The laugh was sure enough on our little friend, Sammy Seligman, Wertheimers' traveler, who was seen making down Michigan ave- nue, in Chicago, the other evening, sans umbrella, though the rain was fall- ing steadily. He sure enough was " Sprinkleproof . " W. T. L. OBITUARY. Isaac Gillett. Isaac Gillett, of Watervliet, N. Y., died September 22, in the Samaritan hospital at Troy. He was 68 years old and for many years had been in busi- ness as a grower !\.t 1507 Eighth ave- nue. When the Civil war began iie was employed at the Watervliet ar- senal, but later he enlisted in Com- pany H, Seventh New Vork Heavy Ar- tillery. He was a member of Post Jones-Kane, G.

The sur- vivors are his wife and six sons, Isaac, Walter, Abram, Samuel, William and Daniel Gillett, and three daughters, Mrs. Barbara Scott, Mrs. Lottie Cady and Mrs. Charles Hamilton, all of Watervliet. South Haven, Mich. — W. A. Hart- man has withdrawn from the florists' business here and has gone to Gold Center, Nev., to engage in an irriga- tion project. AnacoBtia, D. C. — Fred H. Kramer has recently had constructed two new houses on the Good Hope road. Others have been built on the Bickings estate, at Good Hope. James F.

The exhibits the amateurs are making at the innumerable early autumn flower shows prove that the public interest is growing rapidly. There are a lot of retail buyers who always are looking for a chance to buy at wholesale — but that isn't any reason why one should give them trade prices. Some of the closest observers of the trend of events at Washington are con- vinced that legislation establishing the parcels post will be enacted at the ses- sion of Congress that opens in Decem- ber. The present series of double-page spreads has consisted of nine, published in the last eight issues. As only one each week can have the center position, those who want this special position should make their reservations early. The Detroit florists have secured the Wayne pavilion for the big rose and carnation show January 10 to 13, 1912. So large an exhibition is in prospect that plans are being made to admit the public at certain hours and charge an admission fee. THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION. The adjourned meeting of the West- ern Dahlia and Gladiolus Association (not society), organized at Chicago, August 5, 1911, will be called to order at the Sherman House, Wednesday, No- vember 15, 1911, at 10 o'clock a. m., for the completion of the charter list and the regular business of the associa-- tion. For full particvilars see Bulletin No. 1, to be issued October 10, 1911. E. S. Thompson, H. W. Koerner, Secretary. Vice-president and Chairman. BUYING ADVERTISING. It is a peculiar fact that many men, in buying advertising, do so utterly without regard for what they get for their money. They would not think of paying one grower as much for 500 plants as another charges for 1,000, but t|iey cheerfully pay to a publisher as ii^uch as they are charged by another who gives twice the circulation. Com- menting on this phase of human na- ture in his annual address. President Roeding of the Pacific Coast Nursery- men's Association recently said: "The only possible way of determin- ing what results you are securing from your advertising is to have a check sys- tem to keep you in touch with the news- paper bringing in the best returns. Without some such plan as this you might be devoting large sums of money to a paper bringing in the smallest num- ber of inquiries. Regard your advertis- ing jtist as you would any otl^r bjisi- ness transaction; in othei"5^irdd,'. f^ou 1 1 aie buying publicity for your business on the same principle that you would exp.end on ajiy .other- elasfl of merchan- dise." — — — BUYING FROM ADVERTI^OtS. That advertised stock is the beet stock, and the cheapest in the long run, is coming to be generally recognized. Those who advertise steadily abso- lutely must give full satisfaction to those to whom they sell, else they soon would exhaust the field of possible cus- tomers and advertising would become unprofitable. This is how: We enclose a dollar bill for renewal of our subscription to The Review; it seems to grow larger and better each year. We buy all our stock and supplies from Review advertisers and haven't been "stung" yet, always finding goods H» advertised, and sometimes better. — Tom O'Connor, Greensboro, S. C, September 25, 1911. -^' VAB^GATED GLADIOLUS LEAVES In The Review of September 14, page 18, H. E. Meader states that he has found in his stock a seedling gla- diolus with variegated foliage. "A broad white stripe," -he says, "runs through each leaf and up through each flower sheath." I was especially interested in his statement, as we have a few gladioli of that sort. On the first one, in 1907, only a faint, thread- like line was perceptible, but this sea- son we have some with one-half of the leaf white and with broad lines on the flower sheath. No two are alike. The bloom is yellow, with a maroon blotch, and is of good size and wide-open form. The stock is from bulblets, as we have been unable to secure seed from it until this season. Mrs. A. H. Austin.

'^ HICAGO. The Great Central Market. Business has, picked up decidedly since the arriv^ of October and, in- deed, there are reports of marked accel- eration in the closing days of Septem- ber. The weather of late has been in favor of flower selling. The outdoor stock is practically out of the way and overcast skies have in a measure re- duced the cuts under glass. At the same time the flower, users have be- come more active, so that practically all the buyers are now being heard from reglilarly a^d in m'any instances their requirements are of satisfying size.

The receipts now are cleaning up daily without recourse to forced sales. Roses continue in large supply. There has been some improve- ment in average prices, but nothing worth speaking about thus far, for roses still are selling below their normal values, and there are: many buyers who consider roses of both the longest and the shorter grades as ofltering the best values now to be had in cut flowers. The quality of the roses continues ex- cellent. The dark weather has had some effect on the color of Killarney, but not enough to impair its value. The flowers are good on all lengths of stems. The present week brought a pro- nounced increase in the orders for chry- santhemums, yellow being specially in request. Some of the growers have cut out their earliest Golden Glow. Others are beginning to send in the blooms from their second early batch of plants and these are of much better quality than the earliest stock. The October Frost and Smith's Advance, which are the two white varieties now coming in, also are of excellent, quality. Better chrysanthemums never have been seen in this market in the first week of Octo- ber. There has been an advance in the price of yellows, but white continues to sell at last week's quotations, and on the whole the mums are not bringing as much money as usual. Perhaps it is because buyers recognize that they have been getting special values that the demand has increased so sharply the last few days. There was an increased call for car- nations last week, but it was not until October arrived that there was any im- provement in prices. The flower still is selling much below last year 's prices at this date, though the quality never was better at this time of the year. There are a few asters still coming in, but they are not of shipable quality. Gladioli still can be had in considerable quantity, but the quality is not good. Dahlias are more plentiful than here- tofore and those which reach the mar- ket in unbruised condition are selling fairly well. Easter lilies continue abundant; it seems doubtful if they can pay at the prices which now rule. Val- ley was in strong request at the open- ing of the present week, though re- cently it has been in such light demand that clean sales were impossible. There was a slump in the cattleya market last week, due to heavy ship- ments to this market from glutted mar- kets in the east. Buyers who can use quantities were quick to take advantage of the situation and forced prices down to 30 cents for first-class locally grown cattleyas, but this week found the mar- ket lightly supplied and prices firmer, at least temporarily. Violets have become one of the wholesalers' problems. Some of the stock recently received has been as good as anyone could ask at this date, but the retailers have refused to buy in quantity, so that extremely low average prices have been made for the best goods, with practically no sale for the poorer violets. Due to some slip of the express company, the violets shipped from Rhinebeck to arrive Sunday morn- ing were twenty-four hours late arriv- ing with the shipments intended for Monday. There is increased call for asparagus strings and smilax for decorating. Of the latter there is an abundance. >rl *^ WHOUSAU •T „_™W GROWERS •"•SHIPPERS , ^rUT FLOWEP< \^ ^'iB^ NO.

It has been reported that the express companies would take legal steps to contest the order of the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission in the mat- ter of reducing express rates in Illinois and an appeal was filed September 26 with the Circuit Court at Springfield, but nevertheless the rates went down October 1 — if one insisted on it. Whole- salers found that some of the ship- ments heretofore billed at 50 cents per hundred pounds came billed at 40 cents per hundred, while others were tilled at the old rate. John Poehlmann got into touch by telephone with the chief clerk of the Wells Fargo and insisted on hav- ing all shipments billed at the reduc- tion, and the wagon man was instructed over the 'phone to change the billing. The reduced rate applies only on ship- ments wholly within the state of Illi- nois, but it reduces to 40 cents the rate within a radius of thirty miles from Chicago. September Business.

Open frum 7 a. m. to 8 p. m.- PHTT.ADEIiPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. Early chrysanthemums are the strong feature of a slowly improving market. Golden Glow, or, as the buyers have re- christened it, Early Glow, is in larger supply than at any time this season. The other varieties are Smith's Ad- vance, Early Snow, Polly Eose and Montmort. They afford a range of color sufScient for most requirements. The only difficulty is that they are not yet plentiful, possibly excepting the first named. Each day sees this trou- ble grow smaller. The quality is excel- lent. Prices are good, but not fancy. When chrysanthemums of the requisite cplor can not be obtained dahlias are aln excellent substitute. Golden West and Mrs. J. Gardner Casaatt, a beau- tiful shade of deep pink, are the lead- ers; great, long-stemmed flowers that are a revelation to those accustomed tp naturally grown dahlias of ordinary breed. They bring an excellent price a!nd are worth it. The dahlias range from fancy to cull, or, prosaically speaking, from $5 per hundred to any- thing that you can get; sometimes precious hard, for everybody wants the one and nobody wants the other. As- ters are not yet over, more's the pity. Carnation conditions improve. There is more salable stock and more demand for it. The Wards head the list, with specials of a couple of other sorts that chance to be especially well done. Many of the carnations coming into town are not up to market requirements. Beau- ties are decidedly the best selling roses. The best have stiffened in price. All the grades realize fair prices. This is not true of other roses. All but the best drag. Cattieyas are abundant. Gardenias are in request, due rather to a lull between outdoor and indoor crops of the flowers than to any heavy de- mand. Violets have hardly got started yet; doubles are in. The supply of valley has increased in anticipation of the demand. Easter lilies are in re- quest. Fine oak foliage has come. The Silver Jubilee.

The Market. September 30 being cool, business re- sponded quickly and trade was fairly good. October 2 brought rain and duU- ness. Generally speaking, business is on the mend. A lot of old stock has been' cleaned up, and the market being free of it, the new arrivals are meet- ing better conditions. Prices are stif- fening, but are not yet good. The prospects, however, are distinctly en- couraging. Roses are improving in quality and the market for them is in a generally livelier condition. Prices, as yet, are scarcely higher, but they are noticeably firmer. Lilies are in rather better demand and prices are stiffen- ing. The first October Frost and Hal- liday mums are added to the list and it is remarked that it is unusually early for Hallidays, which seldom arrive here before the end of October. Various Notes. C. JE^ Meehan, of the Pe^i^ck-Mee^- han "Co., was here last We^ looking over the situation. Henry Pftster.has given up growing his own stock and has sold his green- houses at Chevy Chase. After trying the plan of buying everything for some time, he pronounces it more satisfactory than trying to wholesale and retail at the same time. Mr. Pfister finds busi- ness rather better than it was last year, although he is located where he must depend on the best class of trade — people who go away from the city early and stily late. .After spending tweftty-seven years in the government service, Mr. Pfiater says he regrets that he did not set up for himself many years sooner than he did. ; . v W.

The Weekly Floats' Revi^v. 37 Good Jobs for Good Men HE growing importance of the horticultural trades is strikingly shown by the demand for trained men who are familiar with the greenhouse, nursery and seed businesses. We could use, or place with our clients, at least a dozen good men if we knew -where to find them. Some of the openings that offer unusual opportunities, details concerning which can be obtained by writing us, are as follows : COPY MEN. — For our own staff. The first requirement is the ability to write clear, concise, convincing English — and consequently experience on a daily paper is almost necessary. Another essential is love of the things that grow and a successful record in growing plants, trees and shrubs, commercially or otherwise. Further, it is highly desirable to have had training in the sales department of some business — preferably, of course, in one the product of which is sold to the classes of people who buy fruits or ornamentals. Only young men can be considered, and good health, clean habits, ability and willingness to do a lot of hard work, are some of the necessary qualifications. PARTNER IN NURSERY.— For one of the best greenhouse and nursery plants in the country — 50,600 feet of glass and 130 acres. A competent man who possesses good business ability will be sold a half interest at a fair price and on reasonable terms. Locality is unexcelled for growing many kinds of nursery stock. CORRESPONDENCE CLERK.— For leading nursery, growing fruit and ornamental trees, etc., in large quantities, and selling both at retail and wholesale. The business of this firm is growing by leaps and bounds, and there is no better opening for a young man of energy, adaptability and some experience in the right line. OFFICE MANAGER. — For another prominent firm of nurserymen. A man who knows book-keeping, office systems, filing methods, etc., and who is thoroughly up-to-date, will find this the chance of a lifetime. "Has beens" and fellows who know it all need not apply, however,— a "live wire'* with executive ability is required. SHIPPING FOREMAN.— For great eastern fruit-tree nutsery. A fine position for men of good habits and clear record. ItNo booze-fighters or lazybones will be considered. Knowledge of varieties and of good and bad trees an absolute essential— also ability to handle and hustle men. Write us fully if any of these openings appeal to you. Your communications will have prompt attention.

There are, how- ever, some other varieties that are grown largely in some localities.

The Market. . The local marl^et last week was pret- ty much as it was the week previous. There seems to be a decided awakening in retail circles and the demand for first-class stock is considerably heavier. This week the fall festivities begin and this should create quite^ i. demand for cut stock. At the wholesale houses the stock of mums is increasing and some good ship- ments of early white and yellow were seen. Boses are plentiful in all va- rieties, as also are carnations. Gladioli and asters are about over for this sea- son, but some nice dahlias are coming in now. Valley and lilies are good sellers, and asparagus and smilaz clean up almost daily. Various Notes. J.'F.

The ground is thor- oughly manured wfien the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted no fresh nunuine b used) thb prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to tliis, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and znatiu'ed. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is \rerf littk, if any, stock obtain- able as good as tfie stock tnat we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk and when this is di^>osed of we shall have no more to offer. ^^^ Wfiile tfie quality of the stock tfuit we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices oHhose who offer the ordinary stodk gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satis&ctory, and much more so tfian tlie Japan-grown Longiflorum, wliich has badly deteriorated in recent years. < Bear in mind that we were the ordinal introducers of Harrisii in Bomuda, and that we have exceptional ^ilities for obtaining our present supplies.

The few western canners who have booked orders for future peas have done 80 at higher prices than last year." PEAS AND BEANS. The latest information regarding the pea crop gives no room for any im- provement on conditions previously re- ported. The shortage, we think, is fully as great as, if not greater than, last year. The bean situation is, however, considerably less encouraging during the last two or three weeks. We have had a good deal of hot weather, with insuf- ficient moisture, and as a consequence we do not look for more than sixty to seventy-five per cent of a crop. — S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich., September 26, 1911. It is difficult to say much about pea and bean crops until threshing is fur- ther along. As far as our field esti- mates go, they would indicate that beans would be about two-thirds of a crop, perhaps more and perhaps less. As regards peas, we find some are thresh- ing out better than we expected, but at the best the crop will be short. How short we cannot tell until we have Com- pleted threshing and taken deliveries from farmers. — Alfred J. Brown Seed Co., Grand Eapids, Mich., September 23, 1911. ' IMPOSTS.

DUTY ON PANDANUS SEEDS. The duty on panda nus seeds is 10 cents per pound, according to a deci- sion of the Board of General Apprais- ers announced September 21. T^e de- cision followed the importation, con- signed to Maltus & Ware, of merchaa-; dise invoiced as Pandanus utilis seeds, which the collector at New York classi- ied under paragraph 266, tariff act of 1909, as seeds not specially provided for, and was claimed to be free of duty as palm nuts or palm:ni^ kernels .under paragraph 635. ..~ z In his opinion sustain^a^; the collector General Appraiser Waitfi aaid; ' ' The evi- dence seems to disclose that this com- modity has been known for some time in 'the commercial world as palm seeds. It appears to be the seed^ q£ n, species of pine, sometimes called the 'screw pine,' and is in no sense thd product of the palm tree.

It does not Se- long among the true grasses, but the board had not construed this paragraph as covering only the true grasses, but rather those plants which are used for forage or feed purposes. This is the first importation of this seed that has been called to the attention of the board, so far as the records disclose. Its use, however, is the same as that of vetch and spurry, and the principles upon which we think the case should be decided are set forth in Willett's case, G. A. 6350 (T. D, 27306), wherein vetch seed was the subject under dis- cussion. Following the principles and rules laid down in that case, we sus- tain the protest. ' ' CATALOGUES BECEIVED.

We have had to depend principally on inside stock since their season commenced, but now the outside grown stock is at hand in good shape. Japanese lilies are holding on well and seem to be better than they were a few weeks ago. Valley has not changed and violets are a bit more plentiful, but they do not keep. Other sorts of outside stock are about as usual. Various Notes. Herman Sandkuhle, of the Sunset , Nursery, of Piedmont, was united in '^marriage with Miss Juliette Stetten- berg, of Oakland, September 28. J. M. Holland, the Berkeley nursery- man, has purchased a tract of land alongside his present location and will erect several greenhouses in the near future.

The Weekly FTonsts^ Review^ r t 61 suddenly dropped off; hence there was" an accumulation of funeral flowers. As- ters are rapidly passing, and there is but little good stock in sight to take their place. Mums are slowly making up the deficiency. Carnations and roses are of better quality. Mildew is prev- alent on all sides, which necessitates early firing. Valley and orchids are unusually scarce, with a brisk demand; Few good blooming plants, outside of cyclamens, are to be had. The bulb departments are unusually busy, fill- ing out-of-town orders. Various Notes. Mr. and Mr*. A, L. Myers, of Bluff- ♦o°>_Iiid., are spending some time with relatives here. Charles Street and family leave this week for Australia, to be gone for an indefinite period. A. C. Brown, of Vancouver, B. G., is in the city, in the interests of his nursery business. E. R. C. VICTORIA, B. 0. Btuiness Prospects. With the approach of autumn it be- gins to be possible to form an estimate of the coming winter's trade, Roses will be suflScient for the demand un- til Christmas; for a couple of months after that they will, owing to climatic conditions, be in short supply. Carna- tions will probably be in short supply all winter. The three members of the Enchantress family and Beacon will be the leaders in quantity. Chrysanthe- mums, from present appearances, will show no surplus. Violets will not be grown locally; it is much easier and cheaper to get them from California. Florists here will be able to handle large quantities of these if they are able to procure them at as favorable rates as the street sellers, but last winter this was not the case, as the street men sold freshly arrived stock at lower rates than those quoted by the wholesale houses to the regular trade. This was so evident that the tr&de had to take steps to protect themselves and they will no doubt do the same again this winter if the high prices are repeated, and this will not he favorable to the sale of large quan- tities of the flowers through any chan- ,nel in this city. . . ' ". ■ Summer Sweet Fea Sbow. The exhibit of sweet peas at the summer show was, as usual, quite ex- tensive, embracing practically all the winners sent out in Britain during the previous year. In reds, Sunproof Crim- son will supersede George Stark, im- proved. Tom Bolton will replace Othel- lo. Etta Dyke will easily hold the premier place in white. In another year Asta Ohn will be as good as any other mauve variety. Doris Asher takes first place as a salmon pink. Mrs. Har^castle Sykes and Constance Oliver are, as before, pinks that cannot be beaten. The variety Jimmy Bland, which created such a furore last year, was only shown in limited quantities, all available plants being used for seed purposes. It is understood that this splendid variety has sported pink, the sport being equal in quality to the parent. P.

[An extract from an address by Jim Parker, of Tecnmseh, Okla., at the St. Louis convention of the American Association of Nurserymen.] It seems to me that the discussion of the question of "Who Are Entitled to Trade Lists!" has, underlying it, the fundamental doctrine of the greatest good for the greatest number. That sounds like good philosophy. Now, just what occurs if tliese trade prices are sent to the planters? First let me ask you if you ever saw a bar- fain counter rush to buy cheap trees rem the local nurseryman or from a delivery yard? You never did, and you won't see mail trains overloaded with orders in reply to special prices to planters. The people want quality rather than cheapness and they are a little suspicious of bargain lots. Again, when a farmer writes a wholesaler for prices it seems that he already had his mind made up to buy. Most likely he is acting for others in the community, as well as for himself. The farmers, as well as the nurserymen, are clannish. There is some retail nurseryman who is on the job trying to get this business, and who is in most cases entitled to it. When the farmer receives these prices he gets cold feet on the proposition of sending cash with order. No prom- ise of good stock is worth a copper to hina that does not carry with it the idea that he c^n paj»f on the worth or worthlessness of the goods before he pays for them. In a majority of cases he TfM'tibuy. He wiH*oriy use his Pj^SiP liit.iilt a Isimragn to bear' duvni prices with the local salesman. But B. & A.

I am grawiog California Privet toiell, and I seD it. There must be a reason C. A. BENNEn ROBBINSVILLE, NEW JERSEY Mention The RevJew \rhen youwrlje the local salesman can not compete, be- cause the conditions are not the same. In the retail business the purchaser ex- pects to get his trees delivered at a certain place at a certain time and to have the privilege of examining the trees to see that they are in good con- dition and according to contract. This means a risk as to the purchaser's ability to pay, a risk as to the prompt- ness of the transportation company, a risk as to favorable or unfavorable weather, and a risk as to that uncertain quantity of the steadfastness of the purposes of men. All these are risks that it is better for the development of the country that the nurseryman should assume, but it means the neces- sity tor twenty to thirty iter cent high- er prices than where these risks are not assumed. For these reasons the quoting of trade prices to planters merely means that the business becomes confused and a community that would plant 100,- 000 trees if properly canvassed will not plant more than 25,000 if they have l^d trade prices quoted them. If whole- salers wish to sell to the people, they ihould meet the terms which the public demands of the retail nurseryman. If it becomes a question of- the survival of the fittest, send a man out and take the business, but don't block the prog- ress of orchard planting with a five per cent investment in time and postage to send out a special price list in reply to an inquiry under the vain delusion that it will bring you business, or be- cause you are too lazy to look up the prospective customer and see whether he is a nurseryman or farmer. Bight here let me say that this kind of buslQesB is done quite as often by the Bmall nurseryman and retailer as by the wholesale nurseryman. They go into fits easily enough if their trayhen yon write. 80,000 extra atroncf lield-g^rown plants of NORWOOD CARNATION The most profitable White Carnation you can grow. $10.00 per 100; $76.00 per 1000.

A slump in business characterized the market last week and if it were not for a little funeral work there would be almost nothing doing. Frosty nights are putting an end to outdoor flowers, especially asters. Violets are much im- proved and the demand for them is in- creasing. Roses are good and are main- taining a fair price. Maryland is ex- cellent and superior to any other pink. Tafts are also fine, but short-stemmed roses of all kinds are somewhat scarce. There are good Radiance and Beauties in all grades, but Wards are not as plentiful as they were. A few spccio- sums of good quality are on the mar- ket. Bouvardia, although excellent, is not selling well. Salvias, boltonias, anemones, eupa- toriums and wild asters are ariving. in great quantities, but gladioli are scarce and in only slight request. Flowering plants meet with approval, but it is still early for a large supply of prim- roses, begonias and chrysanthemum plants. Boston ferns are selling well. Carnations are much better than they were; larger blooms and longer stems are the rule. Helianthus has been largely used this fall in all kinds of work, but the supply is about ex- hausted. Old-fashioned Dutch bouquets are coming into favor this fall, especially for debutantes. Various Notes. Julius Roehrs, wife aud son, of Ru- therford, N.

Dahlias are i^ great de- mand, but few are seen on the inarket. Millinery and department store " fall openings helped business, as flowars have become a principal iUfCtrS ■'of these affairs, much to the delight, of the retailer. The retailers who cater to the Jewish trade did a big business last week for the Jewish new year. The last Sunday in September is observed for the dec- oration of the graves of Jewish people. There were a fiew early weddings and social decorations and funeral work has kept up well. Carnations are coming in much bet- ter, with longer stem»fttod larger flow- ers.

The Florida Citrus Exchange has con tracted, with the McFarland Publicity Service, of this city, for an extensive advertising campaign on behalf of grapefruit, oranges, etc., grown in Florida and marketed through the Ex- change organization. The McFarland Publicity Service stands as one of the leading organiza- tions in this field. It was started about five years ago, and its growth has been remarkably rapid. The offices are in. the Mt. Pleasant Press building and the controlling interest is held by the J. Horace McFarland Co. J. Horace McFarland is president, and the active management is in the hands of Jeffer- son Thomas. Associated with Mr. Thomas is a staff of advertisinjg ex- perts which has been gathered from all parts of the country. Following the lines laid down by Mr. McFarland in the establishment of his printing busi- ness, the McFarland Publicity Service has specialized in the forms of pub- licity which have to do with the promo- tion of the interests with horticultural tradesmen. Mr. Thomas has been con- nected with the advertising develop- ment of these trades, in various ca- pacities, for the past twenty years, and is given credit even by competing agencies as having a better knowledge of their requirements than any other advertising man in the country. The leading florists, nurserymen and seedsmen of the United States are cli- ents of the organization. Among the firms for which it is now conducting campaigns are the Berrydale Experi- ment Gsu-dens, Holland, Mich.; Bilt- more Nursery, Biltmore, N. C; Arthur T. Boddington, New York; P. J.

In case steam is used, a trap would be re- quired if the boiler is higher than the returns. For heating one of the houses with hot water, use three 2i^-inch flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns. One of the flows can be about two feet below the ridge and the others can be placed on the walls, or one can be under the ridge, another on the front plate and the third under the purlin. Distribute the returns on the walls as evenly as possible, but do not connect more than five returns to one flow pipe. Give the flow pipes a slight fall and connect the expansion pipe at the highest point, which will be near the boiler. The tank need not be a great distance above the flow pipe, but an elevation of eight or ten feet will be desirable. If steam is to be used, carry a 2-inch flow under the ridge and distribute ten 1%-inch returns on the walls. A HOME-MADE HEATER. I am erecting a double house, each section of which is 21x60, with the cen- ter wall skeleton or open. The height to the eaves is four feet six inches. I shall use liot water for heating and wish to get information as to the plac- ing of pipes to heat these two houses eflfectively from the same heater. I am thinking of building my own fur- nace, making it of fire-brick and heat- ing the water from a coil placed inside. Can this be done with success? What size of pipe should be used? I expect to use both solid and raised benches. My main crops will be lettuce and to- matoes. I can connect with the city water supply. My location is western Oregon. " H. K. M. While coil boilers are sometimes used, it is generally better to procure one of the greenhouse boilers now on the market. It will be best to use 2-inch pipe in making such a boiler, and- to put about one-twenty-fifth as much pipe in the boiler as will be needed for radiation. Something over 1,000 square feet of radiation will be An Innovation in Steam Trap Design and Construction THE NEW RETURN TRAILS tft dcTtM %\ tn iiMcmarr ■eckiiin.

The returns can be arranged in three coils underneath the flows. A LEAN-TO FOE LETTUCE. Please tell us how to pipe a lean-to house, 12x100, for lettuce, using 2-inch pipe for flowa and returns.

How manv returns will be needed for each 2-inch flow. Our location is west- ern Pennsylvania. W. F. C. In a house such as described a tem- perature of 50 to 55 degrees can be se- cured by using two 2-inch flow pipes and four 2-inch returns. Unless the heater is below the level of the returns, however, it would be better to use one 2^-inch flow and five 2-inch returns.

If the wall is removed, the heat from the main house will pass into the lean-to, provided the latter is the cooler. In the case of high winds there might also be some trouble in securing an even temperature, unless both houses are piped to obtain about the same de- gree of heat. PIPING SHOW HOUSE. Will you kindly state what amount of coils will be needed for a store con- servatory 22x24 feet and twelve feet to the ridge pole! The heating will be done with hot water, using Ii^-inch pipes, and the temperature required will be 70 to 75 degrees in the day- time and 55 to 60 degrees at night. Our location is northern Illinois. C. H. F. For a night temperature of 60 de- grees, in a house 22x24 feet, about 240 square feet of radiating surface will be needed. If li/^-inch pipe is used for the flows as well as the returns, this will mean 480 linear feet of pipe. By carrying two pipes under the purlins to the farther end of the house, it will be possible to drop each of them ver- tically into headers from which four pipes on each wall, can be carried around to the end of the house near the heater. Two other flows can be carried under the ridge and these can be connected with coils under two of the benches. The number of pipes in each coil will depend upon their length, but there should be kbout eighty linear feet in each coil. Each coil can be connected to the heater by means of a 1%-inch pipe. INDIANAPOLIS. The Siarket. Trade was fair last' week. Funeral work has been light,, but decorations for the falf openings have livened mat- ters a little. Flowers of all kinds are plentiful. Dahlias are being shipped in by the thousands daily. Beauties and roses are to be had in any quantity. Carna- tions are plentiful and about the same in quality as before. The aster season is about at a close. Chrysanthemums are becoming more plentiful and the price is a little lower. Various Notes. Morton Brandlein has returned from a trip to Germany. J. J. Karins, with Henry A. Dreer, spent a day with the trade last week. Adolph Baur spent several days in Richmond this week. The infant baby of William Eoepke died last week. The baby was about one week old. Baur & Steinkamp have been in- stalling a phone system at their place, connecting the different parts of the greenhouses with the Baur residence. Lester Benson has been advertising a sale on carnations this week. He ad- vertised 75-cent carnations for 40 cents. E. A. Nelson has returned from a fishing trip in northern Indiana.

Chrys- anthemums and violets are added to the list of stock and asters have about dis- appeared. Btock of all kinds is look- ing fine. Roses are good and carnations are. getting .better every day. More good flowers will be grown in this vicinity than ever before, as there has been a great deal of new glass put up this season. With the present cheer- ful outlook, there will be a demand, also, for all good flowers grown. Pittsburgh and the surrounding dis- tricts have had more than their share of rain and storms, which are keeping the greenhouse men back in their fall work. Various Notes. The retailers are all making fine win- dow displays. Mrs. E. A. Williams had beautiful dahlia displays last week, us- ing only one color each day. The dis- play of Lyndhurst, a fine dark red, in combination with blue ribbons, was par- ticularly striking. The A. W. Smith Co. has had some striking window displays of trito- mas and gladioli. However, their whole store is one immense window and one can stand on the sidewalk and see their display of specimen ferns and other plants, which are beautiful at all times. H. L. Blind & Bros, have made some improvements in their Center avenue store and are now redecorating their Liberty avenue store. Randolph & McClements know how to get all there is out of dahlias and, with the fine/ specimen ferns, their store is a bower of beauty. The Zieger Co. is making special ef- forts that are\not without effect. In fact, if business^^not up to the usual mark this season, k will not be because the florists are not showing the people the best there is to be had in the most attractive way. Miss E. B. Maxwell, Wilkinsburg, Pa., is preparing for what she believes will be the best season she has ever had. The prospects all look bright to her. Hoo-Hoo. Mentton The Review when yog write At Stewart Station, on the Verona macadamized road, P. S. Randolph, of Randolph & McClements, is erecting seven fine greenhouses. The buildings are going up on thirty-two acres which Mr. Randolph has purchased for about $35,000. The purchase is for Mr. Ran- dolph's son, P. S. Randolph, Jr., who will operate the greenhouses. Only a few years ago Randolph & McClements bought the Siebert property and green- houses on Stanton avenue, old Eight- eenth ward, and the first report was that they would also operate the new establishment at Stewart Station, but Mr. Randolph says the firm will have no interest in the new greenhouses.

ERIE, PA. Various Notes. President Taft was the guest of the Erie Chamber of Commerce at a ban- quet at the Majestic theater on the .(evening of September 16, and was en- tertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Strong on Sunday, Sep- tember 17. The decorations, both at the theater and at Mrs. Strong's resi- dence, were elaborate and required the use of much good stock. Eric Thompson, who spent his vaca- tion at Rochester, N. Y., has returned to his work at the greenhouses of the Baur Floral Co. Luther Memorial church celebrated its fiftieth anniversary September 30. The decorations, which were carried out in yellow and gold, were by Charles Offerle. William McCarthy and Miss Made- line Eaustine, an Erie school teacher, were married September 27. The bride's home was elaborately decorated for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Carthy are spending their honeymoon in the east. They have the best wishes of the Erie florists. C. H. Grant, formerly with J. H. Small & Sons, at "Washington, D. C, was in Erie September 14, visiting the florists, and has gone west. 1 Harry Smillie, representing .the Rhinebeck Violet Association, of Ehine- beck, N. Y., was a visitor here Sep- tembpi^lS.

It is a Lord & Burnham house and one of the largest in the south. It will be planted to carna- tions. The firm is also making some improvements in the already handsome cut flower store, which is under the management of the popular Charles W. Moorby, formerly of Philadelphia. Their stock all looks fine and they are amply prepared to take care of their immense trade the coming winter. Howard Gardner has purchased ten acres in the northern part of the city and will erect a range of up-to-date greenhouses, to take care of his thriv- ing trade, which has outgrown his pres- ent quarters. Tom O'Connor is cutting thousands of fine, long-stemmed dahlias from two acres of plants that are grown ex- clusively for cut flowers. Each plant is grown to a single stalk and staked, and some of them are over eight feet tall. They are all grown by irrigation and kept well cultivated, and have not been affected in the least by the dry season. George M. Todd, who grows ferns, vegetables and bedding plants, is pre- paring to enlarge his greenhouses in the spring. BOCHESTEB, N. H. At the annual Rochester fair, held September 26 to 29, there was a finer floral display than usual, although early frosts had cut off practically all flowers outdoors through New Hampshire. E. A. Corson won many first prizes in the plant, cut flower and design classes, his exhibit being of excellent quality. John K. Alexander, of East Bridge- water, Mass., W. P. Lothrop, of the same town, and Geo. H. Walker, of North Dighton, Mass., made large dahlia displays, dividing the premiums. B. Hammond Tracy had a splendid lot of gladioli. Mr. Tracy arranged a table artistically and also captured first prizes for best basket and parlor bou- quet, each of gladioli. W. N. Craig, of North Easton, Mass., judged the plant ■department.

The return of residents from the country and summer places, with the improvement in the supply of cut flow- ers, has caused a slight improvement in the demand, but it is not up to what the standard was a year ago. On the other hand, however, the supply of flowers is not up to that standard. There is a great scarcity of good carnations; only a few mums have yet put in an appearance and asters are practically all gone. Funeral work keeps up well and decorations for the openings of dry goods stores and similar places help out. Various Notes, The new wholesale market is now a positive fact. It was incorporated last week at the office of the Secretary of State, under the laws of Rhode Island, as the Providence Wholesale Flower Market, with Alexander Macrae, John A. Macrae and Joseph Kopelman as in- corporators. The company is author- ized to engage in the general wholesale and retail flower trade, with a capital stock of $.5,000, divided into shares of $25 each, with rooms at 43 Washington street, which will be opened October 15. Albert Holscher is cutting some fine chrysanthemums and violets, which find ready sale. The Westminster Greenhouses are making extensive improvements in the front of the range on Westminster street. They are also building a cold cellar for bulbs. Several of the larger gro^'ers in this section have been receiving their ship- ments of bulbs from across the water during the last week, and getting them under cover. The Rhode Island State College has opened its nineteenth year with a large influx of new students. F. J. Godin as- sumes the duties of Emil A. Mallette as caretaker of the college greenhouses and instructor in horticulture. A fire which destroyed the two iipper stories of the Smith block, on Broad- way, Newport, a few (Jays ago, caused considerable»damage to the store of H. L. De Bloi.s. The firm of Smith & Berker, on North Broadway. East Providence, has been dissolved by mutual consent, Gabriel C. Berker retiring, and the greenhouses will be continued by Frank W. Smith. Oscar Schultz is remodeling his oldest range of greenhouses at Newport, using a larger size of glass. W. 11. M. Write for Catalogue. Tree Tnbi aid Brus Hnp Jirdiniem.

This was to be 55x6U0. NUMBER Before getting any figures he did con- . THREE • siderable traveling about looking at various houses erected by different concerns. Fi- nally he asked two concerns to bid — we were one of the two. That other concern beat us on price — but we built the house. Wonder why ? Here is the owner's own explanation: • "While there was considerable difference between the two bids, we decided that the Lord & Burnbam House was the cheaper at the higher figure. We see no reason to regret • our decision. We expect to build more houses in the future, and do not see how we could improve on what we have already built." •B^H^HHHBHHB T> G Name of this grower X . kj. on request. Lord and Burnham Co.

The Weekly Florists^ Review. XI i|^i^WH.^^i^u^(^t^i^ t^ ^^'i^^^u^^u^u^^^i^'^^¥^^KTsa \ THERETAIb FLORIST ^S t THE NEW GIBBS STORE. Lynn, one of the great shoe manu- facturing cities of Massachusetts, has several excellent flower stores, amdng the finest and most up-to-date of which is t|ie new one of Gibbs Bros., opened September 19 and shown in the ac- companying illustration. Announce- ments were sent out for an opening day and the attendance was so large that 2,500 Asparagus plumosus plants were given awlay as souvenirs. - The store is fitted top in most modern manner. The salesroom is 30x40, with a handsome display refrigerator at the left as the customers enter. The ice goes in from outside the building, which is a great saving in ways that not only retail florists but their cus- tomers will appreciate. In the rear is a curved eave conservatory 15x17. The floor is concrete and the walls are of white brick. One of the conveniences is a retiring room for employees. In the rear of this is the work room, where all design making and littery tasks are performed. There is a drive- way in the rear of the store and every- thing is shipped from the rear door, and all freight comes in that way, the idea being that nothing shall go through the front door except cus- tomers. Everything about the store is of first-class quality, steel ceilings, marble counters and all piping and wiring inside the walls. A high grade stock of florists' supplies is carried. The Arm of Gibbs Bros, consists, of . two members, J. C. Gibbs, who looks after the store, the buying and the selling, and J. P. Gibbs, who looks after the greenhouses and growing. They started in business fifteen years ago, leasing one small greenhouse. The range now covers 25,000 square feet and the plant occupies one and one- half acres of land .in the ;city, but a mile and a: half froih the Bto'f^. " 'The r^gulai" crew BOW numbers ten and -dur- ing the holiday rushes as many as twenty-two have been on the pay roll. ■ THE FALL CAMPAIGN. Even among those retail florists who make the largest and most effective use of printers' ink as a selling force there is a disposition to husband the ammunition during the summer, against the season when the gunning's a good deal better, in autumn. There is much logic in the theory that October is the best month of the year for florists' ad- veftising to the general public. By Oc- tober the flower users are back in town, where they can be reached by the pub- lished rerpinder that ' ' violets are again in season"; that, "owing to market conditions, we can offer an ex- ceptionally good grade of roses at $1.50 per dozen"; that "October brides will, find our bouquets a delight"; that ' * chrysanthemums are in bloom, ' ' and that "it's time to plant bulbs in your flower beds." One of the truest of old sayings is, "Out of sight, out of mind." The flower store has been mose or lew out of sight and out of mind all sum- mer. Advertising at the opening of the autumn season brings flowers into sight, and into mind much earlier than might be thQ case were flower users left to slowly awaken to a realization of their own needs. On page 12 there are reproduced some of the advertisements well-knewn retailera have jjped in the first weeks of October. On the theory that any advertising is better than no advertis- ing, all these are good. But there is one fact a good many retail florists have yet to learn, and this is thut the right copy is almost as essential as choosing the right paper. Almost any one can pick out the best advertising medium^in every case the best . paper is the one that carries the most advei- tising directed to the same class of buy- ers you want to reach — but not every one can write an advertisement that will produce the desired result. The subject is one that deserves study. Bead the advertisements here and note the difference in the appeal they make. It won't take you long to decide that the largest advertisement is not necessarily the best business bringer, or that the one that makes the quickest appeal to the eye does not always make the quickest appeal to the pocketbook. Judge your advertisei^ent from the standpoint of the strWger reading it, and you will do better advertising. By all means start your autumn ad- ■■.

From the beginning to the end of October, according to latitude, Dutch bulbs for bedding should be planted. The work in the more southerly states <5an be done even later, but it is un- wise to keep the bulbs too long out of the soil, as in a dry state they frit- ter away much of their strength. I liave planted tulips and narcissi in De- cember and they have flowered fairly well, but the quality would have been "better if they had been in the soil at least a month earlier. This year frosts have come unusually early in some sec- tions and, with tender bedding plants killed, thmre is no good excuse for de- laying the bulb planting. While the demand for forcing bulbs iias not shown any great gains in late years, there is a tremendous increase in the numbers sold for bedding and naturalizing. Every retail florist with the facilities at command should plant ■a bed or border of these hardy bulbs. They improve the appearance of his place and prove an excellent adver- tisement. With a steadily growing call for all sorts of hardy bulbs, here is a line which every live florist might well take hold of and develop. One or two tasteful plantings are bound to bring added orders another season. We are still far behind Europe in bulb plant- ing, but there are no reasons why this flhould be so, as bulbs here are as eas- ily cultivated as there and no class of flowers furnish greater enjoyment. The Soil to Use. Bulbs are not at all fussy subjects to grow for bedding. They like soil well enriched with rotted manure. Do not on any account use fresh manure, as the ammonia is harmful to nearly all bulbs. Stiff, clayey soil can be im- proved by adding road grit, sand or fine coal ashes to give it porosity. In tight, sandy soil it is also advisable to plant the bulbs more deeply than in heavier loams. If at all acid in nature use some lime in the soil. The depth at which bulbs should be planted varies according to their size. Hyacinths should go in eight inches apart and be covered four inches, though somewhat less is better in stiff «oil. Early tulips can also be covered four inches. For mass bedding four inches apart each way will do. The late varieties are better set 4x6 inches. Narcissi, such as Emperor, Victoria, Sir Watkin and other big bulbed sorts, want covering five inches. Smaller «orts, as poeticus, the Leedsiis, Harris and some of the other types, can go in three inches over the tbps of the bulbs. The distance apart depends upon whether they are to be lifted or not. If lifted each season they should be four to six inches each way, according to variety; if left where they are, and nearly all narcissi fiower much better the second season and increase rapidly, 8x12 inches should be allowed large bulbed sorts, with 6x6 for the smaller ones. Some Oood Bedding Tulips. Tulips still reign supreme as the most popular Dutch bulbs for bedding. Their gorgeous colors have a peculiar charm and are not surpassed by kny other spring flowers. Also, by grow- ing an assortment of both the early bedders and the late flowering section, quite a lon^ flowering season is secured. Some of the best bedders are: Joost Van Vondel is the finest of all early white tulips. Other good whites are White Pottebakker, La Beine, also called Queen Victoria, and White Swan. The last named flowers later than the others. It is really intermediate be- tween the early and late tulips. In yellows we have Chrysolora, a su- perb bedder; Golden Queen, a splen- did sort, with big flowers; Mon Tresor and Ophir d'Or. Among orange shades Prince of Austria and Thomas Moore are fine and each possesses a delight- ful odor. In pink the old Cottage Maid is good, but Queen of the Netherlands, with its large and beautiful satiny pink flowers, Pink Beauty, glowing rose pink, and Flamingo, rosy red on a white ground, are the finest trio in their shade. Keizerskroon, with its big scarlet and yellow flowers, still is one of the finest of bedding tulips. In scarlets, Vermil- ion Brilliant, Scarlet Pottebakker and Sir Thomas Lipton are good. Couleur Cardinal and Dusart are the best of the deep crimscm scarlets, and Proser- pine of the deep rose varieties. Dark purples, such as Wouwerman and Presi- dent Lincoln, are not particularly popu- lar; their colors are dull by themselves but in a border with some white and yello,w sorts associated they show up well. All the foregoing are the single early tulij>s. ^ Solid Colon Are Best. j Beds of mixed tulips look well, while mixtures of hyacinths are just the ,re- verse. Tulips are not of a unifoirm height and these unacquainted with them sh'buld study heights a little when doing any massing or ribbon border work. A bed of scarlet, such as Couleur Cardinal, looks well with a broad band of Chrysolora, yellow, around it. Similarly, the latter used in the center with a scarlet border is! in good taste. The high colored varieties should be kept away from the beds of pinks, whites and yellows. A circular bed of scarlet quartered by a band of yellow with a band of yellow around it is effective. Single rows of one color are ineffective. Three, four or more rows should be used, according to the size of the beds. The following tulips look well together: Chrysolora and Dusart; Yellow Pottebakker and Thomas Moore; White Joost Van Vondel and Sir Thomas Lipton; White Pottebakker '• 0- .•1*6 ••■'> ■'t •^•.' > ■ Tulip Proserpine, Carmine-rose. »'-■', \-V='"'Y ^r^r ■?! 14 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Beds of one solid color using such sorts as Thoracis Moore, Proserpine, Chrysolora, White Joost Van Voadel, Keizerskroon, Pink Beauty, Queen of the Netherlands, White Swan and Gold- en Queen are in excellent taste and the most generally satisfactory form of bedding. Late iFnlips "StM th FavtMr. Year by year late tulips are growing in favor. Five years ago Darwins were almost unprocurable in America except in mixtures. Now every bulb dealer features these and the other |ate flowering tulips. It is true that those ding than tulips. Their higher price and the fact that they pass more quick- ly are features against their extended use. They flower before tulips, how- ever, and make a brilliant show. Mixed with other bulbs they do not look well and should be kept in beds by themselves. The single varieties only should be used for bedding. A se- lection of reliable named sorts is as fol- lows: White and bluish white. Baron- ess Van Tuyll, Grandeur a Merveille, Mme. Van der Hoop and L 'Innocence; rose and pink, O^ertrude, Charles Dick- ens, Gigantea; crimson, Robert Steiger, General Pelissier; blue and purple, King of the Dlues, Queen of the Blues, Grand Maitre; yellow.

Sooner or later they must follow in the procession and when they do so the demand for late tulips will advance by leaps and bounds. They are taller and more stately than the early tulips, much better for cutting and in the herbaceous borders planted in clumps, they improve in quality if left undisturbed for several years. A selection of excellent Darwin varieties averaging twenty to thirty inches in height is as follows: Clara Butt, soft r6sy pink; Mrs. Krelage, soft rose; I^ing Harold, purplish red; Glow, rich vermilion; Dream, soft lilac; La Can- dleur, white tinged with blush; Farn- cbmbe Sanders, orange scarlet; Greteh- efa, soft blush, fine; Psyche, soft rose; !^^ay Queen, rosy pink. In addition to the Darwins are the bjeautiful late flowering cottage tulips, fljowering from May 10 to June 1 and often in fine shape for Memorial day tj-ade. Some of the best and least ex- plensive of these adaptable for solid bj^ds or clumps in borders are: Pic^tee, v^hite, peneiled eerise; Shandon iBells (Tsabella.), rose, edged white; Gesneri- ajaa spathulata, brilliant scarlet, bluish bpack center, superb; Gesneriana lutea, the finest of all late cottage tulips; Qoutdn d'Or, deep yellow; Inglescombe Pink, rosy pink; Inglescombe Scarlet, rich vermilion; Golden Crown, yellow edged with red; Vitellina, sulphur yel- low; May Blossom, white, striped rose; Lieghorn Bonnet, primrose yellow. Hyadiitlis for Bedding. Hyacinths are less popular for bed- sale and cost considerably less than the named sorts. Except for a slight variation in tints, they are in every way satisfactory. Hyacinths, tulips and other bulbs all look much better with a groundwork of violas, arabis, myosotis, double daisies or pansies below them, using always a color which will not clash with the color of the flowers of the bulbs. Narcissi for Naturalizing. Narcissi as bedding plants are not half appreciated. It is true they are at their best when naturalized in grass land rather than in cultivated land, and this season I know of several wealthy amateurs planting from 10,000 to 100,000 in this way, but they make beautiful beds, more graceful even than tulips or hyacinths, and no one of fastidious tastes can object to any of their shades, as all are most pleas- ing. Solid beds of such sorts as Gold- en Spur, Empress, Victoria, Emperor, Sir Watkin, Incomparabilis, Figaro and Barrii conspicuus cannot fail to please, while for clumps in bands along shrub- beries or perennial borders, the small- er varieties such as Leedsii Mrs. Lang- try, Duchess of Brabant and Duchess of Westminster, poeticus ornatus, poeticus poetarum, all the Barrii varie- ties and most 4}f the Incomparabilis section are splendid. They should not be disturbed until the bulbs become too crowded. Usually they are better lifted every third year. For naturalizing along the border of lakes and streams, in woodland or in grassland, narcissi are at their best. Never plant them systematieally but father, the biiibs ' in the hand, broad- cast them atid ^Islilt them where they fsfl*; *fcie- offc*t should be to make them look perfeetiy natural. Here is a field the most " fascinating of all tot bulb planting, capable of infinite develop- ment. Naturalized bulbs in Great Brit- ain are a feature of almost every es- tate and there is no valid reason why they should not be so here, as their requirements are never exacting and in nearly all cases they increase satisfac- torily. A few of the best naturalizing nar- cissi are poeticus, poeticus ornatus, Leedsii Mrs. Langtry, Leedsii Duchess of Brabant, Johnstoni Queen of Spain. Pallidus praecox, Burbidgei John Bain, Burbidgei Vanessa, Incomparabilis Cy- nosure, Incomparabilis Stella, Princeps, Barrii Flora Wilson, Barrii conspicutts and Leedsii Minnie Hume. The two best are poeticus and Leedsii Mrs. Langtry. Anlsterdam, N. Y. — Geo. Hatcher re- ports having a fine time and doing big business while in Europe.

Tulip ^bite Swan with Panie* Beneadi. OCTOBBR 12, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review. 19 THE HOBTICULTUEAL OUTLOOK. [Extracts from an address by J K. M. L. Farqvharot Boston, befor? the New York Flo- rists' Club, October 0, 1911.] Millionaires are much more numerous now than they were a generation ago. Luxuries then now are necessities, and horticulture has its share in supplying them. To the private gardener I would say : Make yourself master of your call- ing. If possible specialize in some branch of it; it will distinguish you to do so, just as it distinguishes a physician to specialize in some department of medical science. Like him, you are really a sci- entific man, your calling makes you one. Yours is a long training; in fact, it is never done; but let not that fact dis- courage you. Learn all the art of gar- dening, so far as is possible, and then render to your employer the best serv- ice you caa and insist upon getting equi- table compensation. The demand for men who are gardeners of high grade was never so large as it is now, and such men can command good salaries. The great trouble is that too many important positions are held by Incompetent men, who are willing to work for compensation which would not attract a capable man. You should eiideavor to meet the wishes of your employer. Have a clear under- standing with him as to what he wishes, then let him know that, you must have a free hand in your work for results. Re- gard your garden and greenhouses as a manufacturer ifloes his mill. Buy enough material to keep your plant running at full capacity, but do not buy anything you do not need. Do not try to return the favor of a nurseryman or seedsman who may have placed you in a position by giving him an order for supplies you do not actually require. To the florist, I would say: Broaden your business. There is opportunity to do it and you will be obliged to do it to pT^olong your success. Have you ever tried to add to your customers from among the middle classes? Their trade is solicited when they are in want of funeral pieces, but rarely at any other time. Yet, I believe there are thousands of people of moderate means who would gladly step into a flower store on Satur- day and buy a dozen carnations, with a little asparagus foliage, or a few fern fronds, with which to brighten their homes on Sunday and through the week, if such trade were encouraged. Of course it would never do to sell to such people flowers that were about to go to sleep; they would have to be fresh and likely to keep for several days. The feel- ing that the street vender is the proper person to care for middle class trade will bar progress in this direction. The florist should endeavor to diversify the attractions he offers; comparatively little is done with flowering plants in pots. Within a decade, or less, you will be furnishing pot-grown fruit trees and vines for dining room decoration. You may even be selling in the spring or early summer the fascinating little cherry tree, in fruit, of the gay Parisian cafes. Every seedsman shbuld endeavor to educate bis customers to the use of nigh grade seeds and bulbs; he will serve his own best interests in doing this. He should ptTi^ and encourage the sale of the best varieties, and discourage or discard those that have been superseded. It is but fair to the seedsman to state that he h^s had to struggle against. Ad- verse coiiditiong. He has been forced to compete with irresponsible dealers, who sold inferior seeds or rubbish. It is safe Nardfsus Poeticus NaturaDy Planted. to say that, on the whole, the seedsman has never received the return he has de- served in this country — nothing like what his brother dealer in Europe has received. Compare the prices of the best European houses with those of any house in this country! Conditions are better than, they were a dozen years ago — quality is being appreciated more generally — ^but many buyers still hesitate to pay a proper price for high grade seeds. This has been especially true of Dutch bulbs. The seedsman cannot do much for the up- building of his business by buying and selling the cheapest, meanest stock to be obtained. In doing this he fools him- self, injures his customer, and in the end loses his trade. What I have said to the private' gar- dener about learning his calling applies still more fordbly to the seedsman. Too many seedsmen do not know their busi- ness. The Holland bulb men are aware of thi» and are still taking unfair ad- vantage of the situation. It is well known in Holland that the favorite single blue hyacinth, Charles Dickens, has be-' come so deteriorated by disease that it is no longer fi^ to be grown. Yet it is listeid and sold to this country by the Hollai^d growers, who usually send for it MaJie, a cheap, inferior sort. We have seen the beautiful pure wtite La Grandesse 'sub- stituted with La Franchise, a blush sort having a purple skinned bulb. Standard Silver and Standard Gold tulips hare also deteriorated, yet these are regularly listed by many seedsmen, who in most cases receive substitutes such as Cottage Boy, Arms of Leiden, or other inferior sorts. Nurserymen, as a rule, have been pro- gressive, more so, perhaps, than those engaged in other lines of horticultural industry. Still, there is much for them to do. Too frequently they are more anx- ious to sell stock than to assure themselves that the stock sold will be well planted, that the ground will be suitably pre- pared, and that the after-care it receives will be such that the purchasers' success with it will bring the vender future or- ders. In the long run it would not hurt the nurseryman to inform a client that the cost of preparation of ground and planting, if done properly, will equal or exceed the cost of the stock. Great igno- rance prevails as to the conditions under which nursery stock will thrive, espe- cially of the more common shade trees, which are often planted in gravel. Nurserymen should endeavor to diver- sify plantations; there is ample mate- rial with which to do this and their clients would welcome the variety. Il^^y of the nurserymen are making better terms on their stock, or allowing larger discounts to the, so-called, landMape at-chitects than they do to private gar- 16 The Weekly Rorists' Review.

You have the finest estates within a hundred miles of your doors. It is your duty to so serve those who come to you that they will be encouraged to become larger pa- trons of horticulture ; and if you do this, you will undoubtedly reap the benefit. You are planning to hold the third Na- tional Flower Show in this city. If you make the success of it of which you are capaUe, it will prove a great stimulus for horticilltural trade in New York. To do this you must get to work at once. Your schedule should be out not later than January 1. Get busy at once, gentle- men! i This is your opportunity. STEVENS' ai«ADIOLUS DISPI.AT. At the recent Industrial Exhibition and Land Show at Saginaw, Mich., the fiorists found some difi&culty in the fact that the affair was of eight days' du- ration, which necessitated several re- newings of exhibits. J. B. Goetz made a good showing of miscellaneous plants and Stevens' Gladioli Co., of which F. H. Stevens and E. J. Hall are proprie- tors, made a large showing of gladioli, also staging asters and dahlias. The accompanying illustration gives a view of tneir exhibit, which was com- piletely renewed three times during the run of thiB exhibition. The display con; tained about eighty varieties, including a number of promising seedlings. f-'^i.- ^ STEM-EOT. We are sending yoii under separate cover a carnal;ion plant that seems to be affected with some kind of fungous disease. "When we first planted, the carnations seemed to take hold nicely, but in about two weeks the lower leaves began to show signs of dying. It seemed to go up the stems until it wojjjd kill one stem of the plant and sometimes a whole plant would go. The Tictory was the worst. Most of them ,are growing out of it to some ex- tent. Can ydu inform me what is the trouble with these plants and a remedy for themt J. J. C. & S. The disease which is troubling your carnations is the same as was de- scribed, in answer to J. D., on page 13 of The Review for September 28. By looking up the remedies suggested there you will find the remedy for your case. I will merely add that you will have your hands full for a while in ridding your stock of this disease. A. F. J. B. BED SFIDES. I am enclosing some of our carna- tions, which have something the matter with them. Can you tell me what it is and what to do with themf The va- riety Afterglow is affected the worst. The leaves do not open, but stick to- gether, and the buds, when they come, are dried up. L. S. P. You have nothing to fear from the curly leaves on your Afterglow. You »nll find this fully covered on page 14 of The Review for October 5, in answer to a query from W. L. The shoot with the shriveled bud is covered with red spider, and you will want to get after these with might and main right away. Get rid of them before the dark days set in, else you will have trouble from the extra syringing required in fighting them. This summer has been a bad one in many localities, on account of the scarcity of rain. If any plant had spider on it when set out last spring, thejr were sure to multiply rapidly dur- ing the long dry spell. The blasting of the bud nlay be partly due to the spider, but you will find that some va- rieties will do this more than others, and mostly when the plants have not become reestablished in their new quar- ters. When normal growth is resumed there will not likely be any more trouble of that kind. A. F. J. B. PEOFAOATIKa CABNATIONS. Will you kindly answer through The Review a few questions on propagating carnation cuttings f At what tempera- ture should they be kept to secure the best results f How long should it take to root themf Shall I keep off all direct sunlight with thin muslin f Should the cuttings be sprayed every dayf In taking the cuttings from the plants, should the shank be broken off when put in sandf Any information you can give will be thankfully re- ceived, as I want to root 100,000 plants and have had almost no experience in that line. S. H. It is yet too early to begin propa- gating carnation cuttings. About the first of November, I will begin a series of articles on carnation culture, ia which will be treated the whole calen- dar, from the taking of the cutting to- the cutting of the flower. If you will watch for those weekly articles, you will find all your questions answered, and many other hints which may be of value to you. A. F. J. B. TOO LATE FOB OABKATIONS. I am erecting a new greenhouse, 24x 60, and espect to have it completed about October 15. Will that be too late to plant carnations of the Enchant- tess variety in this climate— Schenec- tady, N. Y.f Wihat woul^ you 'advise besides carnations for quick moneyf ■ , W. E. J. October lb is rather late to p^ut car- nations and to expect good blooms for midwinter. Howeyer, if they hiive not suffered any frost and the plants ar& lifted carefully, they may. give fair re- sults. Your latitude would make thia rather improbable, it seems. It seemS' to me that single violets would feel iftore at home under this treatment than carnations. If your market vrould consume the violets, I would advise you to let the carnations alone until next year and pl^nt violets this season. Growers often plant lettuce on benches under similar circumstances. Take inte consideration first what your market will consume, then choose your crop. A. F. J. B, SHEEP MANUBE FOB CABNATIONS. We propose using sheep manure as fertilizer on our carnations. Will you please tell us how strong to make it and how often it should be applied for best results. Our houses were benched July 15 and have made a good growth in rich soil with one-third part of cow manure added. We are now cutting good stock. B. F. C. If you feel sure that your carnations need feeding at this early date, you will find sheep manure about as good as anything I know of, but use it with discretion, as it is strong in nitrogen and will have a tendency to make your Indtotrial Fair Display of the Stevens' Gladioli Co., Saginaw, Mich.

To make a liquid that will be quite strong enough for this time of the year, put a half bushel of sheep manure in a bag and hang it in a 50- gallon barrel of water. After it has soaked for about three days take the liquid ^nd dilute ij; with water, about one part liquid with three parts water. One application each week will be plenty. The same manure can be left in the barrel about four weeks, when fresh material should be used. Keep a close watch for a softening of the texture, and the minute you no- tice it, stop feeding. Most growers do little feeding on field-grown stock be- fore the first of the year. A. F. J. B. CHICAGO'S SILVEB JUBILEE. October 5, 1911, was a red-letter day in the history of the Chicago Florists' Club — it was the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the inception of the organiza- tion, now grown to be one of the larg- est of its kind in the country, with a membership more than local, for on its rolls are those whose place of resi- dence is far afield, though they all feel at home at Chicago. For the proper ob- servance of the occasion invitations were sent to the clubs of other cities, Elmer D. Smith having months ago promised to be present with a season- able essay. Milwaukee responded with a delegation of twenty-one, while St. Louis, several times as far away, was at least equally as well represented by fourteen. There was bowling for mixed teams at Bensinger's new alleys in the afternoon, club meeting at 7 p. m. and a banquet at 8:30. The vis- itors were: From Milwaukee and vicinity — Charles Monger, Eichard Leitz, W. A. Kennedy, Nick Zweifel, A. Klokner, W. C. Zimmermann, Arthur Leidiger, Au- gust Boesch, Peter Nohos, E. J. Manus, P. H. Holton, H. V. Hunkel, Charles Burmeister, Eoy Currie, P. W. Mueller, Gust. C. Mueller, C. C. PoUworth and Mrs. Pollworth, G. H. Hunkel, August Kellner, Eugene Oestreichen Prom St. Louis and vicinity — C. Young and Mrs. Young, Eobert "Wind- ier and Mrs. Windier, George H. Anger- mueller, Oscar Heittmann, C. C. San- ders, Frank Gorley, Frank Vennemann, William Osseck, Edward Denker, David Geddis, A. S. Halstead and Mrs. Hal- stead. From Adrian, Mich. — Elmer D. Smith. From Detroit — H. Balsley. There were 137 at the tables when the jubilee dinner was served, rather overtaxing the capacity of the dining room. It was the largest turn-out yet for Chicago florists and there were sev- eral ladies. President Philpott intro- duced F. P.. Benthey to act as toastmas- ter, he being the oldest ex-president present. There were so many notables whom the toastmaster wanted to hear from that many of the visitors and suburban members who had to catch the last train for home had to leave before the speaking fairly had begun. The talk was largely reminiscences, as was appropriate to the occasion, though several spe'akers had a word to say for the events of the near future — the Mil- waukee show next month, the Detroit doings in January and, especially, the Chicago convention, in August, 1912. Those called on for speeches or stories were: J. C. Vaughanj H. V.

There were three proposals and the following were elect- ed to membership: D. E. Freres, 162 North Wabash avenue; Ignatz Stacho- wiak, 1304 Marianna street; William Lorman, 1625 Hudson avenue; M. H. Mann, 5504 North Clark street; Paul Amiing, William Burhop, Walter Aitt- ling, Paul Weiss, Arthur Schmidt^ Henry Meyer, Maywood, HI. Elmer D. Smith 's paper was one of the best ever presented before the club-. It will be found on another page. Mr. Smith received a hearty vote of thank». There was a notable exhibit, a vase of twenty-five blooms of Chrysanthe- mum Unaka, brought by Mr. Smith. It is a pink of about the Duckham shade and everyone agreed that so good pink mums never had been seen at so early a date. Mr. Smith said he flowered but 200 plants, all being cut in the first week of October. The variety wiil shortly be in demand. The same ex- hibitor showed a vase of Smith's Ad- vance. C. W. Johnson brought three of W. N. Eudd's seedling carnations. The crimson was Mrs. A. McCrea, which took the sweepstakes cup at the last Chicago show. The others were a red and a white, the latter the best of the lot in the opinion of many, but all splendid stock for so early in the season. Barrington, B.

OCTOBBB 12, 1911,.' THE MUM SPECIALIST'S NOTES. The Harvest Season. • ; • Flowers of many varieties are com- ing in rapidly and by the middle of the month there will be a good selection of varieties in the market. The varie- ties being cut this week are Gloria, Beatrice May, Eosiere, Yellow Miller and Mrs. J. A. Miller, following on the heels of Monrovia, October Frost aaflt Montmort. So far there has been lit- tle damping on the flowers as compared with other seasons, although we are not yet out of the woods by any means. Growers in the interior do not real- ize whftt it means when the sea fogs drive for miles inland and a house of chrysanthemums in full bloom may bo rendered almost useless in a night froin excessive moisture. In such cases the only remedy is to close the house up nearly tight, leaving just a little ven- tilation to allow for a current of air, and run a line of steam around the house. / Where there are no heavy fogs and the temperature is low, there should always be a line of steam in the house to keep the atmosphere dry and buoy- ant. Chrysanthemums seem to be looking well with the exhibition growers. This is somewhat surprising when we con- sider the frightfully hot weather most sections were subjected to during the mouths of July and August. Careless Packing. In going through the wholesale mar- ket, one is often struck by the care- lessness with which the average grower sends in his flowers. After spending four to six months growing a crop it certainly seems the height of folly not to take sufficient care to get the flowers on the market without getting them all bruised up. Many growers use a deep box, like a shoe box, jam as many flowers as possible, into this without using tissue paper between the flowers and then, when the box is full, the top is pressed doA^n as though it were a bale of hay that^ras^berng packed and sent into the market. In a few days the grower is using lurid language and exclaiming that ' ' chrysanthemums don 't pay ! ' ' It is true the margin of profit is small, sometimes, but it is even smaller in the case of careless growers who do not seem to have learned the first rudiments of packing. Make a pillow of old newspapers to put under the heads of the bottom layers. Use a small bit of tissue paper between each bloom, so that the petals do pot interlace and tear the flowers apart wlien they are being taken out of the box. Start the "second row of flowers just beyond the first row and, while. tke box should be full, it should not be jammed. Then have a wooden cleat over the foliage to hold the cen- ter firm. A box packed in this manner should travel, with ordinary care, 500 or 600 miles without serious damage to the contents. C. H. Totty. THE MUM AND ITS CULTUBE. [A paper by BImer D. Smith, Adrian, Mich., read before the Chicago Floriets' Club at Its sliver jubilee, October 5, 1911.] Although most of those present are directly or indirectly interested in chrysanthemums, I venture the large majority do not consider the volumes that have been written during the last decade treating upon every phase of this important branch of floriculture. The trade papers have from time to time presented excellent cultural notes, and several ijtx^ts have been published by able writers, so that our files are filled with compilations of exceptional merit, and adequate to the needs of this vast country. Confronted by these facts, it would be the height of folly to attempt to offer food for thought along new lines. The tillage has been nearly or quite complete; and, further- more, this is a complicated subject, when we consider its diversified in- terests. For these reasons it would seem wise to present only the more important features, and, presuming the majority of your members are most interested in commercial cut blooms, I will en- deavor to give attention to this aspect. Before discussing cultural methods let us first consider best varieties for our purpose. The Best Early Varieties. As the early kinds are first on the market, they are naturally initial in these deliberations. I have some mis- givings in mentioning those I consider best for this purpose, as it may appear egotistical, inasmuch as the earliest white, yellow and pink originated with us. Smith's Advance and Golden Glow are the earliest white and yellow and may be had from July onward. Unaka, for October 1, is the earliest large flowering pink. There has been considerable discus- sion as to the propriety of having va- rieties which mature before the latter part of September. This point must be determined by those engaged in this industry. Personally I would not ad- vise growing in large quantities for the wholesale market, unless the crop is controlled so as to bring them in about September 15 and later. The grower who retails his products may, with impunity, provide limited quan- tities earlier in the season and use them to good advantage. The question is one of supply and demand, which governs the florists' entire output, and as the fall trade does not begin until the latter part of September, it is a natural supposition that large quan- tities could not be disposed of to ad- vantage before there is a real demand. For early blooms the most impor- tant feature is early planting, and just when this should be done depends upon the date they are to be cut. Smith's Advance and Golden Glow planted the first part of May and buds selected about June 25 should mature in the last half of August. Successive plantings up to early June, securing the first bud, will give a continuied crop to late October. Unaka planted May 1 with buds se- cured August 5 to 10 should all be ready to cut in the first half of Octo- ber. As it is a strong grower, with stems four feet, incurved blooms over six inches in diameter, and similar to "William Duckham in color, though pos- sibly a little brighter, it has no rival ^ as an early pink. The Second Earlies. At the present ^me October Frost and Donatello are making their appear- ance. Both are good to follow Smith's Advance and Golden Glow, but should be planted in May or early June to se- cure best results. For October 15 to November 1 we would plant Oroba, a white coming in a few days in advance of Ivory, pro- ducing larger blooms and of splendid, sturdy, dwarf habit. Chrysolora, for yellow, is unsurpassed for this period, being larger than Col. D. Appleton and fifteen days earlier. It has stronger stem and is of the best incurved form. Gloria would be our choice for pink. These three, like the earlier kinds, are more satisfactory when planted fairly early, not later than June 15, and buds secured about August 15, which should insure the crop being cut and out of the way before the mid- season or November varieties are ready. There are so many good midseason kinds to select from it does not seem necessary to mention them, and the above remarks apply to the late flower- ing section. Pompons, anemones and singles pos- sess the desired qualities to a degree, and are of special value to those who retail their cut and cater to the best trade. They lend grace and beauty to floral arrangements; in fact, the best effects can not be obtained without them. The singles are more fragile and are not so well adapted for con- signments that necessitate rehandling. Preparation of the Soil. Soil is the first item to be considered under the head of cultural methods. Old sods, cut thin, from a moderately firm soil and piled with one-fifth to one- sixth their bulk of cow manure, six months in advance, furnish the best material for filling the bench. Some '. V / OcTOsm 12, 1911. The Weekhr Florists' Revidv. 19 advocate a larger quantity of manure, but we find the plants do not need it in their earlier stages of growth; also, the wood is firmer and ripens better than where nitrogenous mattet is abundant. We prefer giving food later, when the plant is strong and the roots active. Those who wish to utilize old soil will meet with good success by using half new and half -pi^. We prefer plaelsg the new at the bottom of the bench and, if prepared compost is not at hand, fresh cut sods chopped and put through a soil mixer will make an ex- cellent substitute. .... Time to Plant. ♦j- :■ 1^' As previously stated, the early sorts should be planted if possible early in May. We have calls for early varieties for planting late in July, but the fal- lacy of such a course is apparent when we consider that, instead of planting, the grower should be selecting "buds. The midseason and late varieties will do well if planted in June. It is true fairly good results are thjBoutcome when this operation is defeMl^^ the i^oeed^g month, but the' ^PWQre are seS^m ^0 large and fine In finish as thoi^^which have had ample time to develop a strong plant before selecting the buds. Early planting in only mod< rich soil gives the best stem and f( for the commercial grower; namely, smaller leaves, on short-jointed and firm-wooded stems. With the founda- tion constructed thoroughly and com- plete, the building of the bloom will practically take care of itself. It is unnecessary to go into details in the operation of tying. This work should be done when the plants are a foot in height, or at least before there is danger of their toppling over. From this time until the buds appear weed- ing and watering are the most urgent matters requiring attention. Less water will be required during the first stages of growth, with increased quan- tity as the plants gain strength and more foliage. Taking the Buds. The date for the buds to appear is governed to a large degree by the cli- matic conditions. During my visit in California, the state of many climates, I was much impressed by the fact that those portions of the state enjoying a cool air produce the earliest blooms and| the late ones are from localities more torrid. At Los Angeles I was told the first in the market come from the: growers near the coast, while the late ones come from the foothills of the' mountains only twenty milefs dis- tan|^ No fixed dates can be given, as they vary according to the conditions of the weather during July and -Au- gust: The cooler, the earlier, and* the warmer, the later, this change in con- struction takes place. On one occa- sioii we 'had W. H. Chadwick immedi- ately follow Ivory and at other times thej^ have been sixty days apart. "VVith an average season in this sec- tion, flowers for' September are from bu(te selected about July 1 to 15; for Octbber, August 1 to 15; for November, August 25 to September 15; for De- cen^ber, September 20 to ^ctober 10. The) dates given are only "approximate at Best, aa some ^varieties develop more rapidly than others. The bulk of chrysanthemums are Elmer D. Smhh. planted from June 15 to July 15 and those best adapted for this purpose are such as produce perfect blooms from buds selected from August 25 to late September. Many of the kinds shown at the ex- hibitions look beautiful but are often misleading to the novice, for, when placed under the conditions which usually prevail on commercial places, they are useless. It is far better to rely upon the judgment of some com- petent person than to select from the show boards unless you are well versed in these matters. I am pleased to state that shading is not practiced as much as in former years. Sunlight is a prime factor in producing strong, sturdy growth. A light shading is, however, highly bene- ficial to all varieties showing color be- fore October, and it is often necessary to continue later, provided bright sun prevails and . the temperature rises above normal. The Best Fertilizer. What form of nourishment to supply is a topic of considerable importance. Few growers entirely agree on this subject. Bone meal, cow, sheep and, in fact, almost any kind of manure, is beneficial, but the real value depends upon the amount of plant food they contain when considered in ratio to price paid. All or part of those men- tioned may be essential in the produc- tion of the largest blooms which find their way to the exhibitions, btit if my object was solely the production of high grade commercial stock I would prefer a complete concentrated chemical fer- tilizer, say one containing about fifty per cent plant food. While it costs more per pound than the natural products, it will supply nearly 100 times the amount of the required ele- ments, namely, nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid. To make this comparison more com- prehensive,, one pound of such chem.- icals is equal to nearly 100 pounds of manure. The first cost would be great- er for the chemicals, but we should bear in mind that the entire fifty per cent of plant food is available as. soon as put into solution. On the Qtber hand, the manure requires consideXJ|ble labor to bring it into such a form. ,, In the first place, the chemicals are placed in a tank of water and in a few hours are ready to apply with a hose; in the second case, the material must either be used in the form of top dressing or reduced to a liquid before it is avail- able. I am frank to admit that there is less danger of injuring a crop with manure than with chemicals, unless the latter are judiciously applied. Most of such materials are used too strong. Ten years ago we were applying at the rate of one ounce to five or six gallons of water; now the ratio is one to twenty. Weak solutions are much safer, afford- ing perfect control. Varieties of robust constitution, which are usually able to assimilate more food, can be treated at shorter intervals with the soil recommended. Thirty pounds of such concentrated chemicals at a cost of I§ss than $10 is sufficient for 30,000 to 40,000 plants. The labor in preparing manure for such a number would alone far exceed the figures given. Combating Insect Pests. There are a few insects which must be kept in check if our plants are to be kept in a healthy condition. Aphis are the most abundant. The last two years we have used hydrocyanic acid gas with most satisfactory results. Its advantages over the various forms of nicotine are that it kills every aphis in the house, and they do not reappear for a month ori more. We have fumigated ao The Weekly Florists' Revkw. OCTOBKR 12, 1911. but three times since the middle of May and our stock will be. clean intor. November. A high grade of cyanide is most eflfective and we prefer the sodium to the potassium form. W. J. Keimel, Elmhiirsti HI., sug- gested in one of the trade papers the use of one pound of Paris green to five pounds of brown sugar, using one ounce of this mixture to one gallon of water for thrips, W« find this is equally effective in destroying the larva of the leaf-tyer and it does not discolor the foliage. The achievements in floriculture are not wrought by any one thing we do, but by the many things given atten- tion at the proper time, and chrysan- themums are no exception to thiis law. I think all ef-you will agree with me that superiority in knowledge is not as essential as the ability and energy to attend promptly to every detail which is of vital importance in mark- ing the degree of pur success. Nature provides a way and we endeavor to assist. m WINTEE FLO WEI The earlji^t planting of sweet peas, made late j^/pSuly,. is giving some nice flowers,! whicih are usefiU.Jaow that tjie. outdoor crop has passed. While the demand for sweet peas is not especially vigorous until after the mum season has passed, there are customers who want them the year around and they are now one of the indispensables in the wholesale markets. Look over the early plants every five or six days and give them the neces- sary ties. The mght temperature for flowering peas should be kept about 50 degrees; a couple of degrees lower is better as winter progresses. Fire heat is now a necessity, but the plants must have free ventilation. Avoid, however, cold draughts, which may result in an attack of mildew, which always must be guarded against. Sweet peas often are used as a suc- cession crop to follow early chrysan- themums. It would have been -an ad- vantage to have started seed in small pots or flats. Quite a little time is thus gained as compared with sowing the seeds in drills. Sweet peas want generous compost to grow in and it does not pay to start them in the par- tially exhausted chrysanthemum soil without first adding a liberal quantity of cow manure and mixing it in well. Sow the seeds quite thinly. A plant every two or three inches is far better than having a crowded row. The thin- ner plants will give stronger haulm and finer flower Spikes. It is better to stick to the regular winter-flowering varieties for some time yet and not sow the Spencer types until December and January, when late mums will be all cut. INDIANA STATE FLORISTS. The Meeting at New Castle. The monthly meeting of the State Florists' Association was held at New Castle, October 3, with about fifty mem- bers present. The Indianapolis vis- itors, arriving there at 1 p. m., were met by the New Castle florists and escorted to the Elks' club rooms, where an elegant luncheon was served. After- ward the oxembers g^injSretF o^ the north lawn and were "p^MJkrgraphed. The party then made a tour of the city in automobiles, visiting fbM' dif- fcreat . gtepnhoxitres. ' 'The .first 'Stop''^fiVi at the new place of Peter Weiland. Mr. Weiland has had about all he could do .this summer, having erected ten houses, 28x300. These houses are equipped with cement benches and ce- ment gutters. There is still a great amount of work to be done, as the steam plant is not complete yet. How- ever, Mr. Weiland expected to raise steam in a few days. The next stop was at the establish- ment of Heller Bros. Co., where we found things in apple-pie order. The Beauties at this place were exception- ally fine, as were the Killarneys and other stock. Visits were also made to the estab- lishments of P. J. dinger, F. J. Ben- they & Co., William Dittmann and the South Park Floral Co. The stock at all these places was in fine shape. The business meeting was called at the New Castle club rooms. It was' -i voted, on the invitation of the Rich- :• mond florists, that the next meeting be v. held at that city, on the regular meet- i-i ing day, the first Tuesday in Novem- ber . .,;,-^ Among those in attendance from In- dianapolis were: John Hartje, Charles Pahud, John Niggl, Jr., George Wie- ^ gand, William Langstaff, M. Marer, R. A. Glaubke, Harry Pahud, C. P. Bohne, Robert EUig, A. Shreiber, Adolph Baur, Sidney Smith, Harry Rieman, R. Ro- denbe«k, Albert Pettit, Lon Elder, H. ' L. Wiegand, A. W. Marshall, P.

That New Castle florists know how to enter- tain was fully demonstrated. The meet- ing was a great success in every way. After a sumptuous dinner at the Elks' club rooms, the visiting florists started on their tour of inspection. Peter Weiland 's new place was first visited. The ten new 300-foot houses are almost completed. The stock was in fine shape, considering that the heating plant had not yet been com- pleted. There are four houses in roses, two in carnations and four in sweet peas. Mr. Weiland has an ideal loca- tion for his plant. The houses are on an elevation that affords good drainage for his heating plant, which is located about 200 yards from the houses, with a fall of about thirty-five feet. The boilers are near the siding. Coal will be dumped from the cars without haul- ing, which will be a great saving. Mr. A.

Weiland has certainly rushed the work of construction. The next stop was made at the new establishment of Heller Bros. Co. The location is fine and the construction seems to be of the best and in every way modern. Considerable soft stock is being worked up for their retail cat- alogue trade. Their roses are at the Jennings plant and will be moved to their new place as soon as the benches are completed. This range is certainly a good addition to the already large glass area in the City of Koses. P. J. Olinger's place was our next stop. Here everything was in good shape. The new heating plant, just completed, with Stokes' double steam trap system and piig^sttre valves, in- sures JwlN® heating^ Capacity. Their carnations were in excellent condition. P. J. Benthey & Co., as usual, have as fine a block of tea roses as can be found anywhere. Killanieys and Eich- monds were in splendid condition. The establishment of the South Park Floral Co. was never in better shape. The 80,000 Beauties were coming in finely. Some of the early plantings showed ten to twelve shoots, with the foliage clean and down to the ground, and .the color good. The prospects here are for the largest cut in years. William Dittmann's place is located .just across the street from the South Park Floral Co. This old American Beauty grower has his stock in fine con- dition and good cuts are made. The business meeting at the club rooms ended the program. Next meet- ing will be held at Eifehmond. A spe- cial invitation was tendered to the Northern Indiana Florists' Association to attend this meeting. Mr. Heller, who was in charge of the entertaining, certainly was equal to the occasion. S. H. ILUNOIS STATE FAIB. The awards of the first two days of the flower show at the State Fair at Springfield, HI., were given in full in The Eeview for October 5. The show was just as successful in the later days as it was at the first of the week. On the thir^ day the classes for twenty- five roses came on, also the classes for twelve roses, while on the fourth day the classes for fifty roses were re- newed, as were some of the classes for desi^s.

Will you please publish in the next issue of The Review when to start ge- raniums for Memorial day, and will the cuttings be all right to start them in 2-inch pots, and when should these be shifted to 4-inch pots? I am a be- ginner and I want to grow geraniums for 'Memorial day. The reason I am askijng for information now, I would like' to grow two crops of lettuce before starting my geraniums if I can, and I will be much pleased with all the in- formation I can get on .raising gera- Cuttings'* should be inser^^^mnetil^e durijng October if you want first-cltSs 4-inch pot geraniums at Memorial day. Youi'Can place them singly in 2-inch potq of sandy loam, or, if you want to economize space, use flats three inchies deep, with good drainage and filleii with sharp sand. Water the sand well and then cut lines with a piece of thinj steel or a mason's trowel and' placb the cuttings in At the rate of 125 to 150 to each flat 24x12x3. Trim the leaves off the cuttings quite closely. If they are sappy let them lie and dry over night before placing in the sand. Stand the flats on a shelf. Give them the full sun and water quite moderate- ly after the first soaking, just enough to prevent shriveling. These cuttings will make a mass of fibrous roots and can be put in 3-inch pots in January and later shifted to 4-inch pots. If you decide to place them singly in 2- inch pots, it is better to shift first to 3- inch and later to 4-inch. Large shifts do not pay. You can put in additional geranium cuttings as late as February and these will make nice 3-inch stock by Memo- rial day, but will not ,. be so large as the fall propagated plants. C. W, 1-1. SPOT ON KENTIAS. I am enclosing a leaf of seedling Kentia Belmoreana which are becoming infested with what appears to be a fun- gous disease of a bad character. The plants are growing in the open shade, planted in rich leaf-mold soil and well watered. I shall esteem a suggestion as to the remedy and hope it will be useful to others growing palms in southern countries. J. A. M. The kentia leaf in question is affect- ed with spot, a fungoid disease that is occasionally found on the members of this genus, and one that is encouraged by an excess of moisture both at the root and overhead. Spraying with a solution of sulphide of potassium, com- monly, known as liver of sulphur, will probably check this fungus, the solu- tion to consist of half an ounce of the sulphide dissolved in one gallon of water. The plants being outdoors, it is not quite so easy to regulate the amount of moisture, but I would try keeping them somewhat drier or else water them earlier in the day, so that they would keep drier at night.

Now we have the IndiaiHilpilmer. Before the present w«fr«nds it is expected^he chrysantb^pm,^ flood will begin, but the week opp^ with a com- parative scarcity of flo^m-s of nearly every variety and prices of roses and carnations are firmer. American -Beau- ties now are in constant demand and the price for the best stock is more en- couraging to growers. There should be no further necessity for cleaning up at the ridiculously low prices that have prevailed for many weeks for all the older varieties of roses. The novelties have sold well at good figures, 10 cents for some of the favorites being readily obtainable. The best carnations have sold up to 3 cents and $1 per hundred is as low as any stock now brings, even in quan- tity. This will force the department store rates to more respectable levels.- There is a sufiScient supply of all the popular seasonable varieties of or- chids. Prices have improved a little and they no longer are cheapened by street offerings. The quality is beyond criticism. Valley and lilies have both Advanced. Some grand chrysanthemum stock is here. The finest of them are held at 40 cents to 50 cents each, as usual. There is already an abundance of the me- dium and smaller flowers and for these the prices retrograde rapidly. A great flood of these is inevitable. Violets are improving in quality, "but prices remain below 50 cents for the specials. The left-overs are many and the street merchants absorb them at their own offer. About 100 boxes are now arriving from Bhinebeck daily. Asters and gladioli have passed and the dahlia soon will follow. Smilax is down and asparagus is overabundant. Club Meeting. The meeting of the New York Flo- "^^-^ists' Club October 9 brought out only 'aeventy-five members, but proved to be one of the most interesting in the his- tory of the club. Emil Schloss, W. E. Cook and E. E. Bates were elected to membership. The resignations of M. C. Wright and W. F. Shea were accepted with regret. The outing committee re- ported a deficit of only $48.95, with total expenditures of $1,131.95.

NEW YORK'S SHOW CHAIRMAN. ^harles H. Totty, who has been named as chairman of the committee to have charge of the third national flower show, at New York, in 1913, is a resi- dent of Madison, N. J., but to all in- tents and purposes he is a New Yorker, for Madison, floriculturally, is counted a part of New York, for it is the great- est city's greatest rose growing center. Mr. Totty is an px-president of the New York Florists' Club and one of the most active workers in 'it, as he is in all trade affairs. He has had wide experi- ence as an exhibitor and his selection as head of the organization that is to undertake to push yet higher the mark set «t Boston was a most happy one, and one that augurs well for thetauc- cessful consummation of the big under- taking. Charles H. Totty. This is a young man's age, and Mr. TMty is only 38 years old, having been bohi^ in Shropshire, England, in 1873. Although none of his family ever was connected with our trade, his chief de- light, even as a boy, was work in the garden. At the age of 13 years, having absorbed a good part of the education afforded by the common schools of Shropshire, the lad went to work in the gardens of a Mr. Sheringham, where he stayed three years, in accordance with the recognized apprenticeship sys- tem. Then a year in the nurseries of Messrs. Dickson, of Chester, was sup- posed to provide sufficient horticultural knowledge to launch him as a full- fledged journeyman gardener. After a year at Norris Green, a noted fruit- growing establishment near Liverpool, he came to America in 1893. A year and a half was spent on the estate of Mrs. Thompson, at Canandaigua, N. Y., after which the young man located at Madison, having found employment on the H. McKay Twombly estate, under the Buperintendency of Arthur Herring- ton, to whose precept he says he owes much for the direction given his thoughts and desires. After eight years there he left to go into business for himself as a wholesale cut flower and plant grower and bought the James Hart greenhouses at Madison, which he since has remodeled, enlarged and made one of the noted places of the town. After six years here he added by lease the Twombly place over which he had presided as foreman. While Mr. Totty was acquiring an all-round knowledge of the business, he specialized on chrysanthemums, and, while from his place now come some of the best roses and other stock reaching the New York market, still it is for his success with chrysanthemums that he is most widely known. Almost from the start of his business he has made a feature of the trial of all new sorts and the dissemination of such novelties as he approved. The sorts sent out number scores. He has handled in America the Wells-Pockett sets of re- cent years, as well as many good Amer- ican sorts. For a number of years Mr. Totty has contributed Chrysanthemum Notes to the columns of The Review, certainly the most widely read notes on this flower which have appeared in America and probably in any other country, for skilled growers everywhere recognize that they are among the most important contributions in the whole' history of the somewhat voluminous literature of the chrysanthemum. BOSTON. The Market. Not for some months has there been so good a market as at present. Out- door flowers are practically gone; the few arriving lack quality and cut little figure. A sharp frost October 7 put an end to dahlias, which, for a week or two, had been made considerable use of in window displays. Roses are not quite so abundant. Some large grow- ers are off crop. Such as are coming in bring a little better price all around, and the continued cool weather is im- proving their quality. The color of Killarney is as noteworthy as its in- creased size, and the flowers of the two champion yellows, Mrs. Aaron Ward and Lady Hillingdon, are well up to midwinter quality.

Uive them the full sun and water quite moderate- ly after the first soaking, just enough to prevent shriveling. These cuttings will make a mass of fibrous roots and can be put in 3-inch jiots in .January and later shifted to 4-inch jjots. If you decide to place them singly in 2- imdi jiots, it is better to shift iirst to 3- iiudi and later to 4 inch. Large shifts do not ]>ny. You can put in additional geranium cuttings as late as February and these will malie nice 3-inch stock by Memo- rial day, but will not be so large as the fall ]tropagated jdants. (.'. \V.

Chrysanthemums are rather more plentiful and selling well. Among va- rieties in evidence are Pacific, Polly Rose, G. S. Kalb, Halliday, October Frost, Marquis de Montmort and Dona- tello. Violets are getting much more numerous. The cool weather has made them flower earlier. The growers are just starting to house the single varie- ties. For lily of the valley, the de- mand has improved. Lilies also are selling well. Cattleya labiata is now obtainable in quantity and is featured in every up-to-date florist's windows, along with Oncidium Rogersii, Vanda C8erulea and phaltenopsis. The demand for asparagus and adiantum has im- proved. Pot plant trade might be bet- ter. A sharp frost or two will galva- nize more life into it. There are now quite a number of well flowered chrys- anthemums in pots procurable. Various Notes. October 9 William Sim started hous- ing his big stock of single violets. He is picking quantities of fine flowers outdoors, averaging 10,000 daily. He has Just started picking from a large house of sweet peas. The varieties are Christmas Pink and Mont Blanc. He has this season two long sash houses of pansies, which he has not grown be- fore. He has started to pick from these. Remember the club meeting Octobers 17. There will be talks on bulbs for forcing by "William Patterson, bulbs for bedding by Robert Cameron, bulbs for naturalizing by John G. Duguid and others, and other business in plenty. Harland H. Rogers, of South Sud- bury, has finished his season with asters and is now busy among his carnations. Some of his leading sorts are Enchant- ress, White Perfection and Beacon. T. F. Galvin had a large and unique floral design October 7, made for the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co., of Boston, to be placed on the con- federate soldiers' monument at At- lanta, Ga. The Halifax Gardens Co. is sending in large and excellent shipments of chrysanthemums, including October Frost, G. S. Kalb, Glory of Pacific. and Donatello, the latter a fine yellow. John McFarland, of North Easton, showed a strikingly handsome brasso- cattleya hybird of unrecorded parent- age at Horticultural hall October 7; petals, sepals and lower part of lip, rich pink; center of lip, pale yellow. It was awarded a silver medal. Edward Wood, of Lexington, is cut- ting good G. 8. Kalb and Halliday mums. He follows these with sweet peas. Mr. Wood lost nearly his entire crop of outdoor asters during the freeze of September 14. A. A. Reed, the Whitman orchid spe- cialist, has just installed a new Kroe- schell boiler that is doing its work well. William R. Nicholson, the well known Framingham carnationist, was married to Miss J.

Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Ar- boretum, reached three score and ten years of age October 5 and was the recipient of many congratulatory mes- sages. Among the extra good chrysanthe- mums seen are Golden Glow, from H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, and Polly Rose, from R. D. Kimball, of Waban. William T. Walke, of Salem, is this year extra strong on Lorraine begonias and cyclamens. Local bulb dealers have this season had heavy losses on some varieties of narcissi. That fine variety, Victoria, has arrived in bad condition, in some cases a total loss. Other sorts which have come to hand soft are poeticus ornatus, Emperor, Ard Righ and Hors- fieldii. On all these a large percent- age is worthless. The later arrivals are better than the early ones. W, N.

PROVIDENCE. The Market. Cooler weather last week brought with it a slight revival of retail busi- ness, but the aggregate trade is some- what behind what it was a year ago. However, there are an unusual number of early social functions scheduled for this month, which will undoubtedly bring the month as a whole up to a good average. The supply is improving as well »a the quality, and a slight advance in prices has occurred. Various Notes. , ,. W. B. Lake, of Philadelphia, was a visitor in the city the early part of the week. John Horn, of Westerly, was here last week looking for a location for a retail store. He has been a landscape gardener at Westerly for a number of years. John G.

Van Allen estate at Newport, left last week for Los Angeles, where he has accepted a position in an orchid growing estab- lishment. Mr. Welch, of Welch Bros., Boston, was a recent visitor here. Charles H. Hunt is completing the last of his new houses. He has also finished benching 75,000- bulbs. Wadley & Smythe, of New York city, will close their branch store at New- port October 15. J. J.

It has been voted to keep the market open from 7 a. m. until 5 p. m. daily. W. H. M. The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Bhode Island held a special meet- ing September 30 to discuss plans for the coming fall show. The Bhode Island Horticultural Society, in a com- munication to the Florists' Club, of- fered the sum of $150 to be used in premiums, as an incentive to have the florists take part as exhibitors. The letter was accepted and a committee consisting of William Hill, Alexander Macrae and E. A. Appleton was ap- pointed to confer with the Horticultu- ral Society, and if satisfactory arrange- ments can be made between the two organizations in the matter of distri- bution of premiums, it was the con- sensus of opinion that the florists should do all in their power to further the best interests of the show. The special committee will report at the regular meeting of the club, which will take place October 20. DETROIT. The Market. Last week was quite a busy one for Detroit florists. With the exception of two rainy days, business was pretty brisk. This week opened up with a good day on Monday. Chrysanthemums are coming in fairly good supply now in white, pink and yellow. October Frost and Kalb are the white varieties. Bosiere and Unaka, the latter being one of Elmer D. Smith's new .kinds, have opened up the season in pink. Some early pom- pons are also available. Boses are not lacking in supply and the quality is good. Carnations are be- coming longer stemmed as the season advances. The dark colored varieties are almost too plentiful, while the lighter shades and white are not equal to the demand. Easter lilies are not nearly equal to the demand. A few gladioli are still straying into the market. Various Notes. A special meeting of the Detroit Flo- rists' Club was called for Thursday evening, October 12, and held at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. This was in order to meet with A. F. J. Baur, Benjamin Hammond, F. B. Pierson and other officers of the American Bose and American Carnation societies to go carefully over the ground and make some definite arrangements for the joint convention to be held in Detroit next January. "Backham Florist" is the inscrip- tion on the sign of the new flower store opened up at 422 Woodward avenue October 5. Harry Backham, who for some years has been engaged in the retail florists' business in the west, will be in full charge of the store, and this fact alone is enough to insure the suc- cess of the undertaking. Bulletin No. 1 was issued by the ex- hibition committee of the Detroit Flo- rists' Club last week, advising the members that arrangements for the show to be held this fall are well under way. Chairman Frank Danzer and his staff are sparing no effort to make this show a splendid success. B. Schroeter's new store and con- servatory is rapidly nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy about October 20. This firm has been busy decorating some of the large retail stores for their fall openings. In one instance over 1,000 Beauties were used in connection with baskets and palms. The name of Farmer street was re- cently changed to Library avenue; con- sequently E. A. Fetters' address is now 114 Library avenue instead of 114 Farmer street. Mr. Fetters' delivery auto was struck by a street car Octo- ber 7 and damaged to the extent of about $75, but the driver was not in- jured. Harry Breitmeyer, son 'of Philip Breitmeyer, and Miss Marie Bamlet were married October 10. They will spend their honeymoon touring in the east. Harry Breitmeyer is associated in business with his father and was manager of the Breitmeyer building until its sale recently. Breitmeyer 's new store was opened to the public October 7. W. B. Brown now rides about in a five-passenger Overland touring car, which he purchased recently. Business has been good with Mr. Brown, as is evidenced by the above. ---^ A large force of men has been busy for the last month undermining J. F. Sullivan's store. When the work is completed Mr. Sullivan will have a deep, spacious basement, which will give him much additional room. The rear of the store will also be rebuilt to give more daylight and the whole store is being redecorated. The Winton Motor Car Co. recently delivered to Frank Holznagle one of its 1912 six-cylinder cars, finished in a beautiful deep shade of blue. Mrs. Albert Stahelin may be seen almost any day driving in from Bedford, bringing the morning's cut of carna- tions, mums and greens to the Michi- gan Cut Flower Exchange, per automo- bile. This gives her a pleasant morn- ing's outing and saves one man's time. Even when her hubby is along Mrs. Stahelin, who is a good driver, runs the car. A handsome new electric delivery car bearing the name "John Breit- meyer's Sons, The House of Flowers," appeared on the streets of this city last week. This is the first electric auto used by a retail florist in this city. H. S. SEDALIA, MO. Archias Floral Co. had the decoration, September 30, for the dinner given Presi- dent Taft and as the guests left the club little Marian Archias presented the Presi- dent with a large bouquet of Mrs. Taft roses. At the state fair September 30 to October 6, Archias Floral Co., Chas. I. Pfeiffer and Andrew Dygard, the latter of Nevada, were the principal exhibitors, capturing the premiums. OBITUASY. Clement Denaifle. Clement Denaiffe, head of Denaiffe & Son, engaged in seed growing for the wholesale trade at Carignan, Northern France, died August 31, aged 76 years. His ancestors before him for two gen- erations had been seed growers, but it was under the administration of Clement that the Denaiffe plant grew to the proportions it holds today. Clement came of a family of thir- teen children. His father was a hard working man, and owing to the neces- sities of a then modest business all the children were obliged to hustle and assist in the fields and otherwise. Clement obtained a good education at the College of Metz, graduating at the age of 18. After considerable time spent in traveling over Europe, study- ing the methods of other seed growers and in acquirii\g a knowledge of the seed business proper as conducted by the large city seed stores, he entered his father's establishment. In 1889 he fell into sole ownership, at which time . he owned a fine farm of 200 acres at Carignan and had some twenty experi- enced workmen. Four years later, in 1893, he erected warehouses at the rail- road station at Carignan and purchased more land, the splendid farm of 400 acres at Presles, near Carignan, to pro- vide for increasing business. Subse- quently, from time to time, he increased his acreage and the capacity of his warehouses, and at his death there were engaged in the office alone forty-five clerks, and in the different warehouses some eighty-five other employees. He paid great attention to improving va- rieties and originated a number of ex- cellence. One of these, a certain let- tuce named the Denaiffe, has attained great popularity in America under the title of All Seasons. In 1893, Clement Denaiffe was cre- ated Chevalier du Merite Agricole, and in 1897 the French government made him Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, i a distinction rarely conferred on an agriculturist or horticulturist. In 1890, the National Board of Trade of France was attracted to him by the reputa- tion of his productions and gave him an order to supply about 1,500 agricul- tural associations throughout the French republic with their require- ments, which order was repeated regu- larly every year thereafter. Mr. Denaiffe was a man of charm- ing personality, correct and straight- forward in his business methods, and a tireless worker. He was hard at work in his office all day only three days before the sudden illness which culminated in his demise. The fun^vkl was the largest ever held in that part of France, being attended by many in- dividuals in every walk of life. Henry, a son, succeeds him as'^he head of the house, and Maurice, a grandson, as junior. J. A. McKee. J. A. McKee, a prominent nursery- man of King's Mountain, Ky., was claimed by death at the age of 82 years. The body was taken to Cynthiana, Ky., amd interred in Battle Grove cemetery October 4. One son, John B, McKee, and a daughter, Mrs. Annie Bjjrris, of Georgia, survive. ?6 TheWeekly Florists' Review. ■■ .,/ OcfOBtt 12, 1811. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW G. L. GRANT, Editos and Manaqkb.

Collections have been extremely slow this summer, but have improved a little in the last week or ten days. English growers, like those in Amer- ica, found the sweet pea one, of the most profitable crops under glass last season and there will be a large increase in the output for next spring.

Market conditions are improving. Both in wholesale and retail circles the feeling is better and an actual shortage in sev- eral lines was reported Monday of this week, but the supply was humping to overtake the demand, and by Tuesday everyone was able to get practically as much as he wanted of anything. Mums are strong, good roses brisk, valley mov- ing wfill, and lilies in good demand. Cosmos is coming in well. The yellow and white mums are in fair supply and they make a fine showing. Dahlias are plentiful and perfect as to condition. Various Notes. S. S. * Pennock-Meehan Co. gives an optimistic statement of the outlook and reports better demand all along the line. The prospects for a good season, it is stated, never were better. At the Florists' Exchange business ifl declared to be excellent and improving;^ every day. A big run is expected by th^ house on table ferns this fall. Z. DO|Bla)Sfc!sV)ne 's store -will have A splendid show window spacQ. It Will probably be ready to open by Novemb4< 10. Mr. Blackistone reports a particii- larly,,gpod trade last week, due to a num'bei' of ou^-of-town weddings?, the Admiral Schley and Wm. E. Curtis funerals, and some openings, especially that of a big grocery house, which was almost filled with huge floral offerings from many friends. Besides this, Black- istone supplied the firm with Killarney roses, and one was given to every lady calling at the store on the opening day. At Marche's there is a spick and span appearance. A new floor has been laid and a lattice built around the store room. Mr. Marche, who still limps, on account of the injury to his knee sustained when his auto skidded, says that he has been enjoying a fine trade. The prospects he regards as excellent. This week he has a special sale on of palms and ferns, which has opened well. At Small's the arrangenfent of the show window is admired by the pedes- trians, although on analysis it is proven to be simple. The store of Gnfe BAs. Co. is one of the sights of fashionable F street. The roses and arrangement of basket*, always attract attention to the windows. F.- J. D. A movement has beeft started to have the grave of Nicholas Studer, a pioneer florist of the district, suitably marked through the'erection of a monument. Th6 subject has been brought to the atten- tion of the florists of the district by Charles A. Stevens, of Anacostia, who has ' received assurances of their cooperation. It is pointed out that Mr. Studer, whose plant was located on Good Hope road, taught many of the leading florists of the city the flower-growing business. Mr. Studer died about twelve years ago, and it is stated his body lies in an unmarked grave. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. Business continues to improve, but the prooress is not rapid.

RAEDLEIN BASKET CO. 717 Milwaukee Avenue, CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. heuses will get a run of telegrams while others are idle, bo that it is difficult to make any specific statement with re- gard to market conditions which will fit all cases. One point, however, on which practically aU the wholesalers are agreed is that the local demand is light and that the retailers are unwill- ing to buy except from hand to mouth; they do not care to put in stock in anticipation of possible sales, feeling sure that anything needed can be had at short notice. Weather conditions have served to reduce the supply a little on some items since last report, but the reduction has not been sufficient to cause any appre- ciable effect except perhaps on carna- tions, which are bringing better money than heretofore this season. Carna- tions were exceptionally early this year, and many of them exceptionally good, but they sold at exceptionally low f trices so long as the outdoor flowers asted. Now that the asters are gone there has been an increase in the calls for carnations which, within the last week, has served to stiffen prices, though it is doubtful if they are yet up to the prices of this ■ date last year. The supply still is fully equal to the demand. There has been a relapse in the Beauty market. Last week the cut was on the down grade and prices were hardening. But there came a quick turn in the other direction, cuts in- creasing and prices doing well to hold their own. Soses are by some said to be less abundant than they were, due to a few dark days more than to any passing of crops, so that an increase IS likely on short notice. The quality of the roses continues fine. Short stock still is selling cheaply in thousand lots, but the grower who wants roses with 3-foot stems can be accommo- dated, and at prices that are low for such fine flowers. Chrysanthemums are coming in more heavily. Golden Glow and October Frost still predominate, but Crocus, a splendid yellow, and Monrovia, the old standby early yellow, now are seen. Virginia Poehlmann, a fine white, and Touset are arriving, with a few pinks. The pinks have commanded some extra money when good, but in general the prices of chrysanthemums are low. There will be no scarcity during the next two months. Cattleyas are fairly abundant but are being held at better prices, as the lo- cally-grown stock now coming in Is of superlative quality,- Gardenias are scarce and bringing excellent prices. Violets are not nearly so plentiful as at this time last year. There are all grades, single and double, but the de- mand even for the best is not strong. Sweet peas from under glass are begin- ning to appear. Valley is abundant, but the call is so erratic that it is diffi- cult to handle. Easter lilies, while still plentiful, are bringing a little better prices, A few asters and gladioli still come in, but there is little sale for them. Dahlias are doing fairly well, but are not an important item. There is some antirrhinum, but the quality does not appeal to the buyers. Daisies are more than plentiful. There is an abundance of everything in the green goods line. Wild smilax is now regularly in stock and new boxwood of fine quality is arriving. Bronze galax is not so scarce as was predicted earlier in the season. rnampm ITHME CRpWIRSo-SHlPPERS ,, ffnowERS" t»4NO.WAiASH#VE *^V# CURRKNT PRICK U6T Pnr AMERICAN BEAUTIES uoz.

Aa October put in its appearance, a gradual improvement was noticed in ' the condition of trade. The weather ' became cooler and outside stock, though as yet not affected by frost, would not bear much inspection. Asters, dahlias and other outdoor flowers have had their day for 1911, and no one is sorry to see them disappear, as t^e in- door stock is coming along finely. Busi- ness prospects are brightening and stock moves nicely. Carnations ar« a ■if little scarce. Beauties are cropping 'well and the market keeps up splen- *didly on them. Aaron Ward is being ■grown by some of the florists and is fast becoming a favorite among the customers; other varieties of roses are good also. There are just enough lilies in the market to compete with the de- mand. Green goods are scarce. Various Notes. The Dayton Florists' Club held its first monthly meetinf bf the season Oc- tober 2, at J. P. Yqung's establishment, on East Fifth street. One of the fea- tures of the meeting was a talk by George Bartholomew, who gave a brief outline of his recent European trip. The Mismji Floral Co. had a good season in fleld-grown carnation plants, having smd out the entire stock, be- sides turning down several large orders. They are exceedingly busy at present, getting their heating system and boil- ers in good shape for winter. They are installing the Armstrong shaker grate in two of their 100 horse-power . boilers. Their stock is in splendid'cen- dition; the supply is abundant and the demand encouraging. They report busi- ness to "be increasing steadily.

This tt^eek was a big week in Dayton, as the Knights Templar had their con- clave here, with 10,000 members pres- ent. , The business section of town was handsomely decorated with flags and bunting, while the large arc lights along Main street were heavily fes- tooned with wild smilax and other dec- orative greens. The Dayton Floral Co. furnished sixty cases of wild smilax for the Knights Templar decorations. They report trade to be exceedingly good. They are cutting some fine chrysanthe- mums. The Advance Floral Co. reports that business is quite satisfactory and pros- pei'ts bright. They are still cutting gladioli and snapdragons from the field. Thej' are also cutting some nice chrys- anthemums and orchids, and report good sales on them. Miss Ruby Bartholomew is back at the office of the Miami Floral Co., after a two weeks' vacation. H. H.

The de- md is better, while the quality of the ^ock keeps pace, aided by favorable weather. "Early chrysanthemums are the heading feature. Many of the flowers are ordered before they arrive. All are sold soon after they are received, at good prices. The varieties named last week, Golden Glow (Early Gold), Smith's Ad- vance, Polly Rose, Early Snow and Mont- mort, are in larger supply. To these have been added Monrovia, October Frost, Glory of Pacific and Mrs. George W. Kalb, affording a good range of color. The general stock of early varieties is not in yet, only a few growers having com_- menced cutting. The keeping qualities of the dahlia have improved considerably in the last week. Cool nights and bright days are ideal for dahlias. The market has ab- sorbed a larger quantity than in any six dayrf' of the season. Roses have short- ened in supply and improved in quality. Beauties continue in demand. The long- stemmed flowers are plentiful — not so the mediums and shorts. White roses are in brisk demand-^JBUchmondiTAre less plenti- ful than a fortnigljf ago. Carnations show a big improvemetat. TJiey sell well at good prices, but are not overabundant. Indoor sweet peas are arriving, both pink and white, good in color but small as yet. Single violets are nice, doubles hardly in form. Cattleyas are plentiful, gardenias scarce. Supply and demand are well balanced in valley. Easter lilies are ex- cellent stock. Bouvardia has come in all the colors; also snapdragons and yel- low and white daisies. There. still are a few asters. Greens sell moderately, fems^ particularly well. There is some demand for wild smilax. Jubilee Echoes.

The arrange- ment of the guests, the decorations, the speeches, the music, the singing, the dinner itself, and above all the presence of the ladies combined to make an entertainment of which any organization in the land might well be proud; surely wo have progressed in twenty-five years. Good fellow- ship, always an important element in our busy lives, is as prominent now as then. There was nothing lost and much gained. Great credit is due the committee: Thomas W. Logan, John F. Sibson, J. Otto Thilow, George Bur- ton and Robert Kift. J. William Colflesh's Sons. There is an unwritten law among flo- rists that you may go through the green- houses of a brother florist without his company, a little matter of courtesy as rigidly observed in this profession as were the laws of the Modes and Persians in olden time. So when accepting the invitation of the Messrs. Colflesh to "drop in on us as you did on father," a search was commenced in the roomy shed and carried on from house to house throughout the entire establishment. A quiet looking individual encountered in the shed said Mr. Colflesh was about. A man engaged in cultural work in one of the houses corroborated this statement, but somehow the round was completed without the desired meeting.

The flower trade in general is greatly improved over last week, and business is picking up once more. Most of the retailers say the bulk of the business is for funeral work. Carnations are ex- cellent, roses are better and violets are unusually good. Some fine Beauties are now coming into the market, while gladioli are poor and few in number. Dahlias are rather scarce, but yellow chrysanthemums are in splendid con- dition for 80 early in the year. Cat- tleyas are more plentiful and in greater demand, and Richmond roses are much better than usual. There is great demand for Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, smilax, leuco- thoe, ferns and other greens, and the supply is abundant. Various Notes. George Bennett is cutting a fine fall crop of carnations. The Rochester Floral Co. is growing some fine Lorraine begonias.

I wish to store about 50,000. Are public cold storage houses all right? H. J. H. Kindly let me know about keeping fern leaves in cold storage . Are cer- tain kinds used and how are they pre- pared before going into storage? J. J. F. One without experience in storing hardy cut ferns would be unwise to go into it heavily. Practically all the ferns are stored in public warehouses and in several cities the quantity of ferns stored is so great that the ware- house people give this business special attention. There is, however, much loss in an average season, so much, in fact, that some wholesalers who use hundreds of thousands a month now prefer to trust to getting weekly shipments from the first hands rather than to take the chance of putting large quantities in storage. The big dealers carry their stock in public warehouses and them- selves suffer more or less loss every season. Of course their prices usually advance as the season progresses, be- cause cost increases, but sometimes the supply is sufficiently large in the latter part of the season to hold prices to a point where those who bought quanti- ties in the autumn, and warehoused them, find little profit is left after figur- ing waste. The ferns always are tied with twenty-five in a bunch, care being taken that all the ferns in a bunch are of about the same size. Then identical bunches are packed in ordinary strong wood boxes, usually 5,000 ferns to a box. This accounts for some cases con- taining larger ferns than others. Moss is placed in the bottom of the box and also around the sides and over the top when filled; also a little is scattered between the layers of ferns. Tight cases are not desirable. It is important to get the ferns into storage without heating, so shipment usually is made by express or in refrigerator cars. All sorts of temperatures have been tried, but the results have not been uniform under any temperature, the spoilage H.

The Market. There was some good business in the first part of last week and a great deal of good stock was used, but the trade in cut flowers, as a whole, was not what was expected. Plenty of good stock is being consigned to this market at present, but the demand is not heavy enough to consume all of it. The prices are seasonable. A great deal of out- door stock is still coming in from local growers, including Cochet roses, dah- lias, cosmos and tuberoses, which seem to sell well. Beauties have been plentiful in all grades; so, also, have Killarneys, Eich- monds and Marylands. Carnations, too, are coming in heavily and are of good quality. Chrysanthemums, both yellow and white, clean up when of good qual- ity. A few violets are coming in, but are of poor quality; the weather is still too warm for them. Colder weather, with frost, will put the mar- ket on edge for better prices. Canada^s Florist 96 Yonge St, TORONTQ **WE NEVER SI.EEP*' Souses.

The Meier-Shoemaker Seed Co., Cin- cinnati, has reduced its capital stock from $50,000 to $10,000. Julius Friedeborn, vice-president of the Wilder Seed Co., Cincinnati, has gone to Florida with his family for a vacation. The catalogue of Carl Sonderegger 's German Nurseries and Seed House, Beatrice, Neb., runs to an edition of 100,000. Balph M. Ward & Co., New York, received twenty-two cases of bulbs on the steamer from Marseilles that arrived October 5. EiNAR Knutsson, representing Hjal- mar Hartmann & Co., Copenhagen, is de- voting three months to calling on Ameri- can seedsmen. The Washington Bulb Co., of Wash- ington, D. C, has been incorporated, with Oscar W. D 'Alcorn, Edward P. Bod- man and John E, Milton as trustees. The capital stock is $1,000. C. E. Boot, president of the Barteldes Seed Co. of Denver, Colo., is chairman of the board of governors of the Interna- tional Dry Farming Congress that will soon hold its sessions at Colorado Springs. When the 1912 catalogues come out it probably will be found that the re- tail prices of seeds are not so high as reports of crops would now indicate. The average catalogue house is slow to push prices up. The obituary column this week con- tains a biographical sketch of the late Clement Denaiffe, of Denaiffe & Son, Carignan, France, written by the firm's American agent, Charles Johnson, of Marietta, Pa.

"After two wet seasons, we are this year having the other extreme," says Gustav Schott, the Bavarian grass seed merchant, in a recent letter to the trade. "All kinds of crops have been hastened to maturity by the fine summer, but, as was to be. expected, the drought has had in many cases the eflfect of checking the development while hastening to matu- rity. The effect has been most felt in America. ' ' Speaking of orchard grass, in a recent report A. Le Coq, of Darmstadt, says: "New Zealand has such a small crop of Dactylis glomerata that they have little or no seed for export. Our home crop and the Danish seed, which as regards quality and quantity are good, wUl be mostly used to cover the home demand. America had an average crop, but most of the seed will be consumed by their own farmers, in consequence of the small crops of other grasses. Lower prices for this grass are expected. ' ' IMFOBTS.

GRASS SEEDS IN NEW ZEAI.AND. Under the heading, "Seed Trade in New Zealand," the Daily Consular and Trade Reports, issued by the U. S. Department of Commerce and Labor, publishes a long report from Vice-Con- 8ul General Henry D. Baker, on special service in New Zealand. "The seed business of New Zealand is of considerable importance," says the report, "over $600,000 worth of grass, clover, and other seeds being ex- ported from the Dominion in 1910, and about $500,000 imported. During the next few months the New Zealand seed market should possess an exceptional interest for American seed growers and dealers, as owing to the recent drought seeds are now very scarce and are sell- ing for prices about forty per cent higher than a year ago.

The Weekly Florists' Review* t» Important New Sweet Peas For 1912 New Spencer, Vermilion Brilliant " The most brilliant, Iridescent scarlet Spencer yet produced." This genuine novelty, which has been much admired both at our Fordhook Farms in Pennsylvania and Floradale Farm in California, as well as in Great Britain, originated with our friend, Mr. Hugh Dickson, of Newtownards, County Down, Ireland, who wrote: "After most careful, critical comparison with every scarlet Spencer we could procure, including several new seedlings and selections not yet introduced, Vermilion Brilliant stood out so prominently that we ofiFer it with every confidence of confirmation by all Sweet Pea planters as the most brilliant, iridescent scarlet Spencer yet produced.*' Vermilion Brilliant produces vines that are strong, short jointed and v«ry florlferous, bearing on thia North American, at the National Sweet Pea Society's Show in Philadelphia, June 29 and 30. 1911. for the best variety not yet in commerce. Captivation Spencer This is a really giant-flowered Sweat Pea of true Spencer type, both standard and wings being well frilled and waved.

Pearl-Gray Spencer Pearl-Gray is truly a descript- ive name. The nearest to this same color that has existed heretofore is the Grand. flora Lady Nina Balfour. It is certainly a most lovely and distinct shade that might be described as a pearl or dove gray, suiTused with light rose, showing a tritle more of the delicate rose shading in the standard. The flowers, borne In clusters of I hree and four, are of the largest size and uniformly of true Spencer type being well waved in both standard and wings.

The twin or triple standards are well placed, so that the flowers have no appearance of coarseness. The color is a rich cream-pink. When bunched it is most effective, the effectiveness being enhanced by the bright lemon keel appearing to great advantage. It is an extra strong grower and we are certain it will take rank at the very top as a market variety, besides being fit for any first prize stand. Messrs.

The coloring is uniform in both standard and wings— a lovely rich lilac, flushed with pink, which gives a very distinct and soft tone throiighout th« entire flower. Of finest Spencer type, waved in both standard and wings, the flowers are of large size and well placed on long strms. Throughout the season, even during the extreme heat and drought of July, the flowers came invariably three and four to a stem. Many Sweet Pea enthusiasts pronounced this— next to Ver- milion Brilliant— to be the finest nove'ty in our trials at Fordhook Farms the past season.

LILIUN HARRISII (THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY) LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON "Wt think we can make it to your advantage to do so» as ttz»x6» both quality and price. The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow- ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, lea^ng it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bidbs are planted no fresh manure is used; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, sto^ obtain- able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodc and when this is disposed of we shall have no more to offer. While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stodk gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers 'will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000 FERNS We have an exowtionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties— good, bushy, well-grown plants that wiU please the most critical buyers.

The total imports in 1910 of grass and clover seeds amounted to 21,840 hundredweight, and the total value of all kinds of seeds imported was $487,- 190. During the preceding year the total imports were valued at $604,526'. The value of the imports of seeds from the United States in 1910 was $30,956.

' ' DANISH SEED CBOFS. It has been understood that Den- mark has the best seed crops in Eu- rope this year, but reports now com- ing to hand from that country are less bright, nor do the growers of cabbage seed see anything in prospect for 1912 but a small acreage and high prices. Writing under date of September 25 Hjalmar Hartmann & Co. say: ' ' Denmark has to meet a large de- mand for cabbage heads this year, as German customers pay 2 cents per pound for the same, or 10 cents per head.

Nothing is more subject to mistake and disappointment than anticipated judgment concerning the easiness or difficulty of any undertaking, whether your opinion be formed from the performance of others or from abstracted contemplation of the thing to be attempted. Whatever is done skillfully appears to be done with ease; and art, when it is once matured to habit, vanishes from observa- tion. Lily growers who have an idea that it's a snap to grow lilies properly will do well to consider what they really know about it. It is easy enough for those who already know, because they have ac- quired that skill through care- ful study and experience. After you have acquired the same ability, of course, it is easy, and habit will take the place of art ; but don't think just because your neighbor knows that you do, too. The far-off fields always look green, but when you reach them they are the same old brown that you find around home on a hot summer day. The wise thing to do, then, is to be careful — be attentive, work, use your reasoning fac- ulties and above all have good tools to work with. The principal tool in the lily busi- ness is a good bulb — it's an absolutely essential tool, and no grower, no matter how good, can do without it.

Wintering was favorable, owing to the mild weather and prac- tical absence of frost, so that only five to ten per cent of the late cab- bages and about twenty per cent of the early cabbages were lost. The fine spring and good weather in April and May contributed to this favorable re- sult and except in some places where green lice infected the flowering in May, the growth until the ripening was good. Copenhagen Market only proves to be a poor yielder, as owing to its smoothness and fine quality of heads these are inclined to rot. The gen- eral condition of heads for planting for 1912 crop is middle. The plants have suffered through drought and attacks of worms. Turnip and swedes are a good crop. The mangold crop is mid- dling, but prices are exceedingly high, owing to a failure in Germany. Car- rots are a short crop. Grass seeds, particularly Dactylis glomarata, Fes- tuca pratensis and Poa trivialis, are a good crop and fine qualities, but prices are high." HeLIiAND BUIfS.

September marked its close by pass- ing out about the best sample of weather yet oflfered. It was one of those rare days which rival the kind that made June famous. Business has been all that could be expected. Wed- dings are the thing just at present; in fact, October weddings are becoming as popular as those of June. There is plenty of stock on hand. Carnations are running much better, also roses, and there seems to be a demand for ferns. Funeral work has created a good de- mand fpr roses, carnations, etc. The hydrangeas which outlived the frost are growing pink as the days become cooler. Various Notes. The marriage of Louis J. Renter and Miss Alice M. Lewis was celebrated October 2. Mr. Renter is one of the members of the firm of S. J. Reuter & Son, Inc. George L. Stillman, while strolling about his dahlia farm, came across a big turtle sunning itself on the banks of a pond. He secured it and found engraved on its shell the initials of his grandfather, Adam Stillman, 1865, and on further examination disclosed the name of another Adam Stillman, his great-grandfather, engraved 1808, and the name of Paul Maxon, carved in 1792. S. J. Reuter and family have returned to their home on Beach street, after having spent the summer at Pleasant View. Conrad Schultz has some fine houses of carnations. G. L. Stillman has raised some excep- tionally fine dahlias this season. He received several prizes at the exhibi- tions of the American Institute in New York and of the New England Dahlia Society, in Boston. S. PACinC COAST. Spokane, Wash.— H. A. White will build a greenhouse in the near future at E4214 East Cleveland avenue. San Francisco, CaL — The shipping trade in cut flowers is steadily increas- ing as the number of florists grows. George K. Uno, of the California Floral Supply Co., says that the shipping radius also is increasing, orders re- cently having been received from as far as Canada and Colorado. Chrysan- themums are quite abundant in the market at this season. Queen, Louis Sievers, Golden Harvest, Bright Rose, Canary and other outdoor chrysanthe- mums are at their prime from early October until cold wearier approaches. Orders came from leading florists of the western cities for decorations for banquets which were given in honor of President Taft, now coming to this city. The orders were for the choice chrysan- themums mostly. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market.

We have had to rely almost entirely on inside stock for the last few weeks, but from this time onward there will be less trouble in getting cheap stock. Orchids are scarce and valley is not plentiful. Japanese lilies are over for the year. Violets are not numerous yet, but the long nights are in their favor and they will soon be in their glory. Sweet peas and all other sorts of hardy stock are past their prime, and we now have to depend on what we get from the greenhouses. Various Notes. ,• V. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, has returned from a two weeks ' trip to Los Angeles and vicinity. Ferrari Bros, are cutting some . extra fine Beauties at the present time. C. C. Morse & Co. expect to move into their new Market street store in ; a few days. This will be the best , appointed and largest store of its kind in town. ■ Charles Matraia recently returned from a six months ' trip through Europe, rope. ; Charles Stoppenbeck, of the Ameri- can Floral Co., is the latest retailer to agree to the half-day Sunday closing. This leaves but one firm in town that remains open all day. J. P. Reddy, recently with the Siev- ers-Cornwell Co., is now with Serveau Bros, at their Fillmore street store. A visit to the houses of 6. W. Sim- mons, at Elmhurst, shows plenty of good stock coming on. The showing of Beauties is fine at this time. The California Retail Florists' As- sociation held a regular meeting at Eagles' hall, October 4. M. H. Morse, of Piedmont, will re- mov« his Piedmont avenue nursery from its present location in a few weeks, the ground having been sold for other purposes. He will retain, however, that portion at the cemetery gate on which he has conducted a re- tail flower and seed store for many years. John Evans, of the Trumbull Seed Co., has returned from a trip to Los Angeles, and is in the harness again. FVed Grunewald, of Fruitvale, while driving recently, was struck by an electric car. His wagon was com- pletely demolished and he received a fractured leg and several minor bruises, which necessitated his re- moval to a hospital. George C. Pape, the greenhouse ' builder of Berkeley, is at Santa Cruz as a delegate to the Odd Fellows' convention at present being held in , that town. G. POBTU^ND, OBE. Market conditions are slightly im- proved, yet there is a lack of life to the demand. Outdoor flowers are pass- ing rapidly. What are left are hardly usable. A slight frost would be wel- comed, to clean out all outdoor stock, which would create a demand along all lines. Carnations are coming in nicely, but are rather short in stem. Roses also are producing nicely. Mums are scarce and move rapidly. Auratums are holding out remarkably and serve . a useful purpose for funeral arrange- ments. Violets, valley and orchids are scarce, especially the latter. E. R. C.

The winter will be spent either in the large cities or on farms in the warm sections of the south, to which many of the men will drift in the course of events. Most of the men spend the money they secure at the nurseries about town while here, but a few have bank accounts here and in other places and consequently have a small sum on hand at all seasons. A majority of them are sober and indus- trious, but have the "wanderlust" fe- ver and travel rather than remain in one position for any length of time. Vegetable Forcing. CARBON AND LETTUCE. Can I use carbon bisulphid in soil in the house with lettuce and not spoil the lettuce for table use! Is it poison- ous to persons, if used in the soil for any vegetables? H. E. B. Carbon bisulphid can be safely used in the soil lettuce is growing in, or, in fact, for practically any other crop. If the liquid should be dropped on the foliage, it would render any such plants unsalable for a few days, but the fumes soon pass away and there WQuld be lit- tle danger of poisoning. Bore holes in the soil with a sharp stick, preferably when the soil is damp, as the fumes are then more penetrating. Pour a teaspoonful into each hole, immediately covering each with soil. Make the holes twelve to eighteen inches apart each way and the carbon will kill any worms, larvse or insects which may chance to be in the soil. Do not use any naked lights while applying the carbon, as it is highly ex- plosive in its nature.

The only case where I have found carbon injurious to plant life was when applied to plants in pots. In such a case only a few drops must be given or harm will be done. It is otherwise with crops grown in beds or benches, where the fumes are not confined within a small area. C. "W. TO EXTERMINATE SOW BUGS. Please inform me how to get rid of sow bugs out of doors.

PITTSBUEGH, PA. v. ^ The Market. **^ There is a great deal more life in the cut flower line than we have had for a long time and, while the larger ' social functions will be later in starting, there is a tone to the general trade that is at least encouraging. The supply of flowers of all jcinds is quite satisfactory, at least to the wholesalers, as they manage to clean ' up nicely and still take care of all demands, excepting possibly white car- nations, which seem slow in coming in. Mums are coming in slowly and it will be two weeks before there is any great quantity. Various Notes. Mrs. E. A. Williams had a number of large funeral orders last week which called for quantities of the best stock, and these, with some social affairs, kept her force busy every day and all of one night. Bandolph & MeClements were busy- with a number of social affairs and report their regular store trade improv- ing every day. |v The A. W. Smith Co. is making q^ite 'ja display of bulbs for fall planting. E. C. Ludwig says things are com- ing all right and he anticipates a good season, and that means a good deal, for his store is open day and night, 168 hours a week. A small but enthusiastic crowd of twenty-five braved the rain and wind to attend the Florists' Club meeting at the Fort Pitt hotel Tuesday eve- ning, October 3. An exhibit of out- door stock which had evidently suffered from the dry summer came from K. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White Marsh, Md. The new rose. Sunburst, which is well thought of here, and Carna- tion Wodenethe, from Charles Totty, were the only flowers of importance, but a pleasant evening was spent by those who were there and a special invitation is extended to those who only come occasionally to attend the next meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Lustick, of Washington, Pa., have closed their houses and are going to spend the win- ter in California, but will reopen their range on their return, "All work and no play" is not their motto. George Crissman, of the Crissman Greenhouse Co., Punxsutawney, is a visitor and reports the big flood last week the worst ever experienced in ! that country, but fortunately they were not damaged in any way.

OCTOBBR 12, 1911. COLUMBUS, O. The Market. Trade has been quite brisk lately, with stock plentiful in most lines. Boses are in good crop and the qual- ity is about all that could be desired. Carnations are more plentiful and are about equal to the demand. Their quality is up to the standard at this date and another week or two will see the stems much longer. There have been a few of the early mums on the market, but no great quantity at any time, and the weather has been such as to create but little demand for them, as it requires a little frost in the air to give the people the habit. The supply of Beauties has been rather light, but about equal to the demand. Smilax is quite scarce and will be so for several weeks. Various Notes. The Fulton Flower Shop opened for business October 7, in the Fulton mar- ket stand. Fred C. Vearick is pro- prietor and he has with him Eobert gpeers. Both Mr. Veajric^,a,nd Mr. t peers have been with the Livingston eM Co. up to a short time ago. They haV^ a good location, for that line of stock wUl go nicely with the general fancy merchandise handled by the Ful- ton Market. The Columbus Floral Co. reports things coming along nicely and will soon be cutting quantities of carna- tions. The firm grows quite a few mums, all of the later varieties. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- ting heavily in roses and carnations and is jnst startinf^ to cut a few early mums. The company is about ready to connect the new boiler at the Fifth avejme plant. J. M. SOUTHINGTON, CONN. The Market. Business has certainly picked up this week. There has been great demand for funeral work, and it seemed almost impossible to get stock, narticularly carnations. The frost killed nearly all the outside flowers, and few dahlias are in the market. Boses are coming in fine. Wedding decorations were plenti- ful last week. The cool weather has pushed business right along. Various Notes. p William Fischer has completed his new houses on Buckland street. Earl S.

The cold, damp weather has about cleaned up the outdoor stock. A few gladioli are still on the market, but the other stock, such as dahlias, are all shipped in and we can say they never were better. Carnations have improved wonderfully and are now one of the chief factors on the market. Roses are plentiful, especially the short stemmed ones. Lilies are scarce and valley is cleaned up every day. "We have not yet had a good frost, but steady, cool dampness has had nearly the same effect. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club sprung into prom- inence at the meeting last week. The attendance was large, due perhaps to the announcement that lunch would be served, but be that as it may, they came and were ready for business. Everybody was keyed up and a good program for the winter is started. The several committees were given instruc- tions and will act accordingly. Joe Streit has started things along the bowling line and lost no time while at the meeting in organizing the teams which will bowl every week. The social committee has arranged a debate to be held at the meeting No- vember 3; subject: "Besolved, that more skill is required in the arrange- ment and disposal of flowers than in their production." This, no doubt, will bring out a good discussion from the growers and retailers and it is .iust for this reason that the debates are brought about. Most of the members who were dissatisfied with the decision of the club not to hold a fall flower show, have aroused enough spirit to bring about a small show just for our own amusement and information. The date was moved forward a few weeks and particulars will be given later. R. A.'S.

The florists here have experienced an unusually busy week with decorations or funeral work. Stock is coming in fast and in good shape, but it is being used up quickly, and in some instances there has been a shortage of some spe- cial colored rose or carnation. The funeral work was of the better class. ■ The supply of cut flowers is growing larger daily, and we are enjoying In- dian summer weather. Carnations are coming in fine now. Potted plants are not plentiful, yet there is a big demand for them. Various Notes. An effort is being made by the Hart- ford Market Gardeners' Association to organize a State Vegetable Growers' Association. E. H. Moore reports that the first week in October was one of the busiest of the season. . Champion & Co. have had a busy week with funeval work and decora- rAful9 HELENA, MONT. o,> S 't tions. 'I The second annual meeting of the Florists' and Nurserymen's Associa- tion of Montana was held in this city September 28 and was a great success, the membership being nearly doubled. The association "will try to make ar- rangements with the officers of the state fair to offer inducements to flo- rists and nurserymen so that they can make a creditable showing at the fair. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, T. E. Mills, Helena; vice-president, D. J. Tighe, Billings; secretary-treasurer, E. A. Calmettes, Helena. After the meeting the company was entertained at luncheon by Mr. Mills, of the State Nursery, who also pro- vided automobiles to take the party to the state fair. Alexandria, Va. — Mr. Shaffer, of C. A. Shaffer & Co., has purchased a farm nearby, which he will devote to the growing of outdoor flowers and the rais- ing of choice poultry. He expects to remove to the farm about November 1 and will leave O. B. Hedges in charge of the business here.

We int'end opening a store in a neigh- boring town and will build a house of sash for plants, twenty-four feet long, ten feet six inches wide, four feet six inches high at the gutter and seven f«et six inches high at the ridge. We intend heating it by running one 1%- inch How pipe along each side wall, then looping at the rear and connect- iag with three 1^-inch returns under ■each bench, the house to contain two benches. Would this be sufficient radi- ation to heat it to about 50 degrees and would a tank heater rated at 160 sauare feet of radiation and capable of supplying 200 gallons of hot water d« the work? W. H. As only seventy-five square feet of eradiation will be required to heat the h«use described, the heater should be amply large for the purpose. If the heater can be placed below the level of the returns one IV^-inch overhead How and six 1 14 -inch returns should be ample to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees. TWO ILLINOIS HOUSES. We are building twp greenhouses eaeh 28x150 feet, running east and ■west, on a slope toward the south. The north wall will be six feet high, of solid concrete blocks. The south wall will have three feet of concrete blocks and thirty inches of glass. The divid- ing wall will be of wood and an iron , gutter will be used. The elevation from the south wall of the lower house to the north wall of the upper house is seventeen feet in fifty-six feet, as the houses will be connected. The lower house will have solid beds and the upper house raised benches. Both .gables will have glass. The houses will be heated by a Furman boiler rated to heat 11,500 square feet. Hot water will be the heating medium. The boiler shed will be located on the southwest corner. The maximum temperature re- quired will be 60 degrees in zero weath- -er for both.hoyees and we would like to know tb« best way to pipe the =B3= Greenhouse Heating ^' "^"^.Ssrand Save 20% to 50 9"^ of Coal Use our AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC CONDENSATION PUMP EVIBENCE : Writ.

The supply was scarcely equal to the demand in most lines. This, however, was due prin- cipally to ,the fact that on Monday incoming shipments were about normal, while the call was large, owing to a general replenishing by the retailers. Still, judging from advance orders, this general condition bids fair to last throughout the next fortnight, until the mum season is on strongly, and if the mums keep on cleaning up as they are doing now, this tightness will keep up for some time. The quality of stock is everything that a buyer can possibly wish it to be at this time of the year, and the prices are fair. The rose offerings are good in num- ber and have little trouble in clean- ing up. Last week they were a trifle slow at times, but all worth while were moved in the end, and not to the ash barrel, either. The condition of all stock in this line is such that it is hard to pick out any one or a few varieties and say they are best. Oar- nations present quite a variety in length of stems, ranging from long ones, good for any purpose, to very short ones, useful only for work. The blooms on all are good. The white and lighter shades predominate in numbers. Other lines include the following: Chrysanthemums in large, medium and choice white and yellow; lilies, which are finding a good market; cosmos, the late crop of which is so far advanced that unless there is a frost there is little danger of a shortage ;' dahlias, which are selling fairly well ; New York double violets, lily of the valley and orchids. The green goods supply is ample, meeting requests with excellent stock. An Innovation In Steam Trap Design I and Construction THE NEW j miTURN TRAPS an deriid if all luecesafy ■eckaiin.

Of course the fall exhibition, i^'ovem- ber 13 to 18, was the principal topic for discussion. The report of the sec- retary of the executive committee stated that all advertising matter would be distributed within a few days, that noticing but the mere mechanical work of staging is left tp do, and that when the snow opens all will be ready. Com- munications from probable exhibitors show that quite a number will be on liand at the appointed time. Cups have been donated by the following: J. M. McCuUough's Sons, E. Witter- staetter and J. Chas. Murphy, for car- nations, chrysanthemums and roses, re- fflpectively. Irwin Bertermann. of In- dianapolis, Otto Koenig, of St. Louis, and Phil Breitmeyer, of Detroit, will act as judges. C. E.

All desiring to attend are requested to be on hand promptly »t 8 p. m., when the teams will be selected. William Murphy has returned from the Cbenaux Islands, where he has been for the last two months. Hay fever, however, ambushed him and took him prisoner immediately after his return.

BuBiness fell off considerably during the last ten days, compared vdth fvhat it was just preceding. If it hadn 't been for the large number of stores having their fall openings, business would have been almost at a stand- still. Mums are coming in a little more, and will soon be in full crop. Boses have improved since firing be- gan and are in fair demand, with about enough for all. Carnations are quite plentiful, but the stems are rather short. The vegetable growers are still bringing- in bouquets of outdoor flow- ers and selling them at their stands in the market place. Various Notes. Karl Zeidler has about completed a new boiler room, in which has been placed a sixty horse-power steam boiler, and there is room for another if needed. He will not use it this winter, but next year will build new houses just back of the old ones, and heat them from this boiler. The old place is heated by hot water, but he hopes to have better service from steam heat. He has a large patch of cosmos which are full of blooms and these come handy for ceme- tery bouquets. The mums are looking nice and the carnations are coming good. September 9 he started out to gather up all the house plants that his customers want him to keep through the winter. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. has had an out-of-town wedding decoration nearly every day for some- time. This company has also had a number of decorations for fall openings, with plen- ty of stock to take care of them. Julius Niednagel & Sons also had a number of decorations for fall open- ings. Their roses, carnations and mums are in fine condition. Nellie Goodge is still on the sick list. Boyston & Fenton will soon have a large crop of roses. E. L. F. NEW HAVEN, OONN. In addition to the many business con- cerns already managed by students of Yale as a medium of self-help, such as a laundry, clothes pressing shop and gas appliance office, a flower store is to be opened here next week.

Wed- dings and other social functions are the order of the day, and in nearly all lines there is enough stock to go around. Good carnations are still shy; more could be disposed of at a good margin. The last of last week and on Monday of this week Easter lilies were completely cleaned up. Various Notes. All of the local boys, twenty in num- ber, who attended the silver jubilee of the Chicago Florists' Club October 5, agree that they had "some time," which again proves that it takes the Chicago boys to do it up brown. In- stead of going in a body, they went at various times. Some of the earlier ones participated in the bowling, which took place at the new Bensinger alleys. From there they went to the meeting of the Chicago club, after which the rest of the evening was spent at the jubilee celebration. President Hunkel and Fred Holton, of the Milwaukee club, voiced the visitors ' feelings when they said: "We extend the glad hand, wishing them many more years of pros- perity, and hope that good fellowship between the Milwaukee and Chicago club members shall likewise be pro- moted and prove part of the success." "All's well that ends well" is a Ger- man proverb which came to the writer's mind on the trip home, for it was in- deed a jolly party who made merry till the wee hours of the morning. J. M. Fox & Son report a busy week, engaged mainly with wedding decora- tions, including one in Racine, Wis. The Holton & Hunkel Co., which is again crowded for room, is adding a large shed and cold storage room at the Humboldt avenue place. At the new wholesale house of G. Rusch & Co. they report business away ahead of expectations since the opening of their career. The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. has just received a large consignment of deco- rative stock from the east. The C. C. Pollworth Co. has the ma- terial ready for a neat showhouse to be located in the rear of their new store. It will be 27x40 feet. E. O. Fredonia, Pa. — W. W.

In The Beview for April 20 there was a reproduction of a photograph of a funeral design in flowers representing a structural steel workers' derrick with the glove of the deceased hanging on the book. The Beview tried to point out the undesirablenesa of such designs. The note fell under the eye of the editor of Popular Mechanics, who published the f flowing comment, which has been wide- ly, jcppiipd into newspapers of general cir- culation : FLORAL DESIGN IS CONDEMNED. ' ' Florists throughout the country are commenting adversely on a floral design recently made in Indianapolis for a ^. ^orkman wl)o, was killed on> a npw build- ^,„ i^g. They generally coft^B'n'*' t^ie dMgfC ^ lUas being entirely too vivid a rehiinder or the manner in which he came to his death. "The man was a structural iron work- er. One of his gloves caught in the hook of the derrick just as the engine started. He called ' Slack down ' to the engineer, but was raised thirty feet in the air be- fore his cries were heard, and then his hand slipped from the glove and he fell to the ground, receiving injuries from which he died. ' ' An organization of which he was a member ordered a floral piece for his funeral made in exact representation pf the derrick and required the florist to place an empty glove in the hook, as the glove was found after the accident. The words 'Slack down, 'which the engineer failed to hear, were worked into the base of the design. ' ' THE EVOLUTION OF BETAILINO. riower Selling Undergoing Change. That the methods of merchandising cut flowers are undergoing a permanent change is a fact that is given too little consideration by the majority of retail- ers. Perhaps it is because he does not comprehend the direction of the cur- rent that the average man who feels the effect of the new methods is inclined to inveigh against "price cutting" rather than plan moves by which he can hold his place in the retail field. That chang- ing conditions demand some change in methods will be apparent to anyone who gives thought to the subject. The retailer of yesterday looked upon himself as an artist rather than as a merchant, and he conducted his busi- ness on a basis to correspond with his estimate of its character. Some of the most successful flower stores in the country today still are managed along the old lines, but they cater only to the excessively rich, or they mostly are in the cities that do not have large local supplies of cut flowers, or are lo- cated outside the business districts, where the trade is of a neighborhood nature. In either case it is more than likely that they are beginning to feel the pressure of the new order of flower selling. -V Competition Orows Keener. There is, of course, more or less keen competition between the flower stores in every city, but the competi- tion is almost sure to grow sharper ratlier than* the reverse. The man with a nice establishment in a high class residence district of a good sized city has been looked upon'as having all the best of it; his overhead expenses were usually much lighter than they would have been downtown and he did not have to do so large a business to make an eqtti^ -profit: "Witti the advent of ^ .

Orig:uuIIy a Double Q>Itrnin Display. the cheaper class of downtown stores that have become so numerous in the last few years, the high class down town store has felt the need of a change in method, and, making that change, the effect has then been felt with augmented force by the stores in the residence districts, which are not, as a rule, in position to avail them- selves of the same methods that suc- ceed downtown. No matter how fine a man 's flowers are, or how perfect his service; no matter how certain he may be that his wealthy customers will come to him when they want to be sure of getting just the right thing in every particular, it is not pleasant to see in the current past the windows those same customers carrying home or wear- ing the flowers bought at the store that has adopted more or less of the depart- ment store plan of retailing. How to meet the new form of com- petition is something that every retailer must figure out for himMlf, but of this much he may be sure: While good serv- ice never will cease to be a factor, the store that merely rests on its reputa- tion will do well to maintain its vol- ume of business; the natural increase will go to the stores that adopt tke progressive policy. The Department Store Frlniciples. The new order of flower selling doee not involve so much price cutting as at first, sight might be supposed. It in- volves price cjjtting, yes, if bne com- pares the prices with those previously charged, but the man who thinks he must have the old 100 per cent dif- ferential between wholesale and retail prices should stop to considei; that, if he sells, of a Saturday,- ten dozens of Beauties at a profit of $1.50 per dozen he has made more money than if he had asked $3 a dozen profit and 'had sold only two dozens, or three (dozens, or • t' even four dozex),^. , To put it another ^ way, there comes a time in the growth of the business that the retailer can well afford to sell on a margin much less than was considered essential for success in tha days when the Volume of sales was small.

A few years ago the florist was content to re- tail from his greenhouses, but now, for one reason or another, he finds it ex- pedient to get into a location that is accessible to a larger part of the peo- ple, so he opens a downtown store. Then more than, evor the need is felt for vol- ume of sales, and work begins to get them. It is work that puts upon the other florists of the town the necessity of defending their trade. It is a prob- lem which, in the end, resolves itself into the question of creating new flow- er buyers more rapidly than they would be produced in the natural order of things. ENGLISH NOTES. S. B.

Melanie Soupert, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Mme. Maurice de Luze, Laurent Carle, Lyon-Bose, Beaute Inconstante, Marie van Houtte, William Allen Eich- ardson, Baronne de Eothschild, Cha- teau des Clos Vougeot. Several of these varieties have been grown by the tens of thousands an- nually in various parts of the world. About 50,000 Mme. Caroline Testout are planted each year on the Pacific slope of our own country, to say noth- ing of the number used in Europe. Probably this is at present the most popular of the Pernet varieties. A visit to his nurseries is always in- tensely interesting, especially in June, when most of his trial seedlings are in bloom. He certainly seems to have the breeding of roses down to a science. Whether under the Mendellian theory or not, I do not know, but I am sure that he is working by a well defined and successful plan; his seedlings show it. His yearly offerings of his new roses run in number from one to four in variety, seldom over three sorts, and this very fact inspires confidence in their value. Too many new sorts are annually placed on the market, to the bewilderment of those who would enjoy the testing of the year's novelties. If the Pernet plan were established as a precedent it would certainly work to the advantage of the rose trade in general. A visit to the Bagatelle gardens at Paris reveals unmistakably the stand- ing of Pernet. The records show that he has captured the gold medal offered by the city of Paris on three if not four different occasions for the best new rose of the year. He has also been presented with the medal of honor 'of the National Horticultural Society of Prance. A day spent with Mr. Pernet im- presses one with his enthusiasm', his passionate love for the rose, as Veil as his utter modesty, which does not .at all prevent his appreciation of ; the value of the seedlings that he has been able to add to the lists. A visitor to his place has a great pleasure vouch- safed him, and Mr. Pernet sparepi no pains in making the visit o^sj^Kipg in- terest. Sev>■" OCTOBBB 19, 1911.

With the exception of a few Japan- ese anemones, helianthus, asters, pom- pon chrysanthemums and other late flowering subjects, the herbaceous bor- ders are now getting bare of bloom and there could be no better time than the present to do any replanting re- quired. Peonies can still be planted, al- though both these and German iris would have been better set out early in S^jiteniber, but with a few exceptions, fiucb ad Anemone Japonica, incarvilleas, pompon chrysanthemums and Lobelia cardinalis, the last half of October and the early part of November is the best season of the year for replanting. It does not pay to leave herbaceous jPllants t<^o ipi^ ,ui^divide|^.,, -Witih the ;«xtremely robust varieties, such as' heli- anthus, heleniums, rudbeckiab, doron- icums, silphiums, vernonias, lythrums and physostegias, it is a good plan to divide and replant every second year. In the case of Phlox paniculata, del- phiniums, Pyrethrum roseum, veronicas, aconitums, platycodons, campanulas, Iris Germanica and Ksempferi, asters, centaureas, Boltonias and some others, it pays to separate them and give them new ground every third year. In fact, with the exception of peonies, dictam- nus, hemerocallis. Anemone Japonica and a few other sorts which are slow in establishing themselves, perenniiJs jdo vastly better replanted at least every third or fourth year. ' How to Plant. Over a great part of the country rainfalls have been copious of late and the ground is in an ideal condition for the work of replanting. Practically all perennials, it need hardly be said, liko a deep soil liberally manured and, given such, they withstand an astonish- ing amount of dry weather without suf- fering. For cutting purposes nursery rows are, of course, the best, allowing sufficient space between the rows for horse or hand cultivation. Well planted perennial borders are a great attraction and we know one or two country florists who have such and they prove a good advertisement. The different subjects are planted in good sized masses, not in single plants, and large labels are attached to each. Dutch bulbs and annuals are dotted among them to cover up any bare spots in the late summer and fall, and there is not a week from the last part of March un- til early November when these bor- ders are without flowers. Varieties for Florists. The Review receives many inquiries as to the best sorts of perennials to grow for cut flower purposes. Such lists often have been given, but each J ear the number of those growing erbaceous plants increases and an- other list may not be inopportune. All varieties named are reliably hardy: Delphinium hybridum and Chinensis, peonies in variety, Phlox suffruticosa M. Jh. Pernet-Ducher. Miss Lingard, Phlox paniculata in vari- ety, Clematis recta, Dictamnus Fraxin- ella, Aquilegia'coerulea, chrysantha and mixed hybrids^ asters or Mi(jhaelmas daisies in variety, Boltonia lati3<]/ttama and asteroides, Achillea Ptarmica The Pearl, Hemerocallis flava, Thunbergii and Middendorfii; Lathyrus latifolius or everlasting pea, pink and white; Lo- belia cardinalis, Anemone Japonica in variety, Helianthus Miss Mellish, mul- tiflorus plenus and Maximiliani; Hel- enium autumnale superbum, grandi- florum and striatum; Lychnis Viscaria splendens, Convallaria majalis, Lupinus polyphyllus in variety, Aconituin Xa- pellus, Pyrethrum roseum and uligino- sum, "Veronica longifolia subsessUis, Stokesia cyanea, Physostegia Virginica, Rudbeckia Golden Glow and puriiurea. Spiraea Gladstone, aruncus, palmata and Davidi; Fenstemon barbatus Tor- reyi, Liatris pycnostachya, Heuchera sanguinea, Campanula persicifolia in variety, Chrysanthemum maximum, Gypsophila paniculata and Euphorbia corollata. Added to these should be the follow- ing, which cannot be depended upon to winter outdoors in the more northerly states and are better carried over in coldframes and planted out in spring: Digitalis gloxiniseflora. Campanula Medium, Coreopsis grandiflora and Gail- lardia grandiflora. Added to these should be the various liliums, of which candidum, speciosum, album and Melpomene, tigrinum, Hen- ryi, auratum and Hansoni are specially valuable for cutting. Then there are the montbretias, hardy if given a little protection in well drained land, and Hyacinthus candicans, the latter being one of the best bulbous subjects for the hardy garden. THBEE FINE DBEEB PLACES. James C. Clark met the incoming Riverton train on a perfect October afternoon just before frost. "Mr. Eisele is waiting in the car," he said. It was a pleasure to see that this tre- mendous worker had at last found a recreation that was congenial; lawn tennis had lasted but a brief season, bicycling a still shorter time, but here was something that would give variety from hard work, something that would come naturally with the addition of Locust Farm and Riverview to the cares of the large plant at Riverton. Mr. Eisele is a clever motorist. "The car knows the way," he said. The run from Riverton to Locust Farm via Palmyra was quickly and pleasantly made. Locust Farm embraces seventy acres of well drained, fertile land about three miles from Riverton. It was not naturally well drained or fertile. Here lies the secret of its success. The pow- ers that be spent their vacation study- (OoiVtlnaed on page U.) • ,^A^•Al^-.l*^^&d A^jt^^dl.-r m^^^^.> H the Weekly Florists^ Review, OCTOBEB 10, 1911. sm^'^^'^^''m^^^^?a^^'ik^f^in.fsift.id:^'i&^'iJ^^ \ SEASONABLE y/ffv SUGGESTIONS I 5#^v<^v»gi.^;»?».v^'#^'^?^<<^<*ift.<^^<*^W¥k<*^W^{#^<*^<#i!^;i^ i Cyclamens. There is always a good demand for cycbimens at both Thanksgiviog and Christmas. For- the former holiday it is hardly possible to have the plants heavily flowered, but, provided they have good foliage, they will sell well with even half a dozen blooms open. In order ^to have them in nice shape for the laist of November, plants should now be removed from coldframes and given a bench in a house kept at 50 degrees to 52 degrees at night. Do. not use any more heat than that, a's it only will mean drawn and spindling plants. A carnatipn temperature suits them nicely a&d it is sometimes pos- sible to arrange, in a carnation hpuse, narrow shelves with edges to hold in some coarse sand on which to stand the plants. The weather has now become suffi- ciently cool so that the plants will not require any further shading except, perhaps, during a spell of exceptional warmth, in which case a little cheese- cloth may be hung to break the direct rays of the run rather than shade the glass at this late date. Free ventila- tion they like at all times and, with the pots full of roots, use weak liquid manure twice a week. A little Clay's fertilizer once a fortnight also will be found helpful. Do not allow thrips or green aphis to get a foothold on the plants. Fumigation or spraying with a nicotine extract will keep them clean. Plants which it is desired to hold back for spring flowering can be kept in coldframes for some time yet and later given a house with a minimum of 38 degrees to 42 degrees, in which they will winter perfectly. Look after the seedlings intended for flowering a year or more hence. Keep the surface soil in the pots or pans frequently loosened. When the plants have made two or three leaves, trans- plant them into flats containing three inches of light compost. One contain- ing one-half or more of half-rotted leaf-mold, with the addition of some loam and sand, is suitable. These seed- lings should have a warmer house than the plants which are about to flower; 58 degrees to 60 degrees at night is about right. The little seedlings should be kept on a shelf well up to the glass. Any who have omitted sowing cycla- mens have still time to get nice plants for Christmas, 1912, but the seed should be started at once. Azaleas. Azaleas now are arriving. Before potting thenf, soak the balls thoroughly in a tub of water. The soil not infre- quently gets badly dried up in transit, particularly if the cases chance to be stored too near the boilers. If potted dry it will take many waterings to soak the balls, 'with the likelihood increased of some ot the plants dying. After potting stand the plants in a pit or | light cellar where they will be just clear of freezing. Coldframes with necessary head room will answer nicely for some weeks. Deutsche Perle is sometimes shading color when received and often is bloomed for Thanksgiving. If wanted this early give the plants 60 degrees to 65 degrees at night in a moist house and spray them freely. Freesias. Any freesia bulbs not yet potted should be started right away. It does not pay to keep them any later than this. The results are disappointing, as the spikes on late started bulbs never are at all eqnal in length or strength to the early planted ones. At Christmas a few bunches of free- sias always are a welcome addition to the stock. In order to flower them this early, the pans, pots or flats should now be placed on a shelf in a house kept about 55 degrees at night. Sau- cers under the pans or pots i^re an ad- vantage. Freesias are quite thirsty subjects and, once their receptacles are full of roots, want as much water as chrysanthemums, with weak Uquid manure, in addition, every third or fourth watering. . . . . Pansies. - >. ' "• If there should be a shortage of vio- let plants to All any of the beds or benches, or if any house is at disposal which is not of the most modern con- struction, it can be utilized for pansy culture. Pansies want much the same treatment as violets. They like a rich soil and a similar temperature, but can, of course, be planted much more close- ly. Pansies have come to be a recog- nized flower in the market now. As midwinter bloomers they do not equal violtts, but with lengthening days they give an increasingly heavy pick, which continues long after violets have passed. If midwinter flowers are not especially wanted the house containing them can be run cold, even letting occasional frost in during December and January, and the house kept warmer from the be- ginning of,/Fpbrua»y onyaivd. . Pansies from the open ground should be lifted with a nice ball and planted as soon as possible in benches where they are intended to flower. THREE MUM TROUBLES. I am having some serious mum trou- bles and turn to The Review for advice. First: The same larva, or worm, that infests the ear of sweet corn is in many of my mum buds, usually develop- ing as the bud does, so that about the time the bud opens up it goes all around it and eats the petals off at the base. T have sprayed with nicotine extract, but it seems immune. Second: About two weeks ago a strong north wind brought millions of leaf-hoppers from the fields into town and for two nights they swarmed in countless numbers about every street light, but the second night they seemed to starve to death and were to be found on the pavement under the street light, often an inch or more dee^ But in the greenhouses they have thrived, and no ordinary means avails against them. Nicotine they seem to like. Kerosene emulsion has bested them in the lettuce houses, but the mums are three and one- half to six feet high and they always light on the under side of the leaf. My Golden Glows are in full bloom and the others are opening, but the bloom seems to be smaller than it should be. The insect is about one-quarter inch long, green in color, and jumps and flies, invariably lighting on the under side of the leaf. They are not thrips, for they do not throw up the tail as if to sting. Third: Many of jny Golden Glow blooms are rotting at the heart as they open. This is usually on one side only, but spoils the blooms. They are in solid beds. I hesitate about using hydro- cyanic acid gas against the larvae and leaf -hoppers because the Golden Glow mums are in bloom. I fear I may not have watered just right and that this brought on the rotting in the center of the mums, but the plants seem perfectly healthy, the foliage being heavy and dark green. The blooms have not been wet since opening. H. S. M. I know of no method to eradicate the worms, save hand-picking at night, with a lantern. This worm is, I thi^, called the army worm. In any case, it gets busy just around the time the flower is developing and goes merrily on from flower to flower so long as the going is good. It is almost impossible to poison this worm, because it seems to eat noth- ing much except the embryonic seed pod, which naturally cuts off the petals. The leaf -hoppers I am not acquainted with, but if they feed on the leaves it would seem to me that Paris green as recommended in the case of F. W. F., in this issue, should be effective. I am unable to state why the Golden Glow should be rotting at the heart, since H. S. M. says the blooms have not been wet since opening. Generally speaking, this trouble can be traced to spraying and the water lodging in the bud. The only other reason I can suggest is overfeeding. H. S. M. will be more familiar than I am with what feeding he has been giving his plants. If they have had none of the chemicals, nor any strong dose of natural fertilizers, it would be hard to ssiy why the buds are rotting. Brilliant sunlight will sometimes do it, but we .'A^tlwkA J!Li^.««^> 'll^^^yL^i^fj.. 'Tr'.'r ,-^--'i OCTonEK 19, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review^ 15 -i^ ir.

'-' '' Will you kindly inform me what' causes mildew on mum plants, and the remedy for it? H. J. H. Mildew is often caused by a cold draft striking the plants when the fo- liage is wet. It is also caused by lack of air and it will often be noticed that mildew comes on the center of the bench, where the air cannot possibly circulate, owing to the crowded con- dition of the leaves. One remedy for mildew is to run a little sulphur along the steam pipes and the fumes from the sulphur, when the pipes are turned on at night, will kill the spores. If H. J. H. has no heat on his houses, he can spray the plants with Fungine in the proportion as recommended by the introducers. This preparation is an extract of liver of sulphur or sulphur of potassium, the difference being that where the liver of sulphur leaves quite considerable marks on the foliage, the other preparation leaves none at all and is consequently more desirable. C. H. T. WORMS ON MUMS. Will you please tell me what to use on my mums? Two different kinds of worms, one green, the other green and black striped, are eating the leaves and buds. We have used nicotine, Aphine and arsenate of lead and have smoked the house about every second or third night. Please state what will kill the worms and not injure the plants. F. W. F. I am at a loss to understand why the arsenate of lead was not effective in the case of worms. It is readily under- stood that nicotine or Aphine are not of much use unless the worms are sprayed directly with the preparation, which is a diflBcult thing to do, but the arsenate of lead, which is a poison, if applied in su£5cient strength, should certainly hatve cleaned out the worms. I would suggest that the best rem- edy of all is Paris green, but this must be used carefully; just enough to color the water is plenty. A small teaspoon- ful in four gallons of water is plenty strong enough of most brands. This can be used in a good sprayer and the un- der side of tbejeaves sprayed as well as the top side, and thoroughly covered. Paris green varies so much that what is enough of one brand would be too much of another. The best way would be for F. W. F. to test the strength be- fore using it extensively; then he will not be bothered with burning of the foliage. C. H. T. CANADIAN GLADIOLI. When the big annual national exhibi- tion was held at Toronto this year A. Gilelirist, of that city, was awarded a gold medal for the display of gladioli shown in the accompanying illustration, which was said to be the largest and fin- est collection of the flower ever staged in Canada. Mr. Gilchrist, who also is seen in the picture, is planning to show his stock at Chicago next August, when the American Gladiolus Society holds its exhibition in conjunction with the con- vention of the S. A. F., but he says he does not hopfe to capture any sweep- stakes in such fast company as will be found at that time. A feature of the Toronto exhibition was the showing of Gladiolus Panama, sent by Frank Banning, Kinsman, O. Mr. Gilchrist says the box of flowers was four days on the road, including the delay in the custom-house, but that the blooms arrived in fine condi- tion and stood a week in the exhibition. The judges recommended that a cer- tificate of merit be awarded Mr. Ban- ning- WASHINGTON. The Market. If Billy Sunday were in Washington now it might be suspected that a re- vival had swept the ranks of the flo- rists, but the suspicion would hardly be warranted, although they are as godly a set of men as one will find in any line of business. The fact is that the supplications arising from them are for a frost to kill off the outdoor stock and make a decent market for the finer stock, which is at present almost going a-begging for buyers. Business is really dull, with a bright spot here and there to save it from the utter anathema of the trade. The first frost will give it a good boost. Mean- time an occasional wedding helps to create a demand for stock, and this week there are several funerals, nota^' bly that of Justice Harlan, who was mu6h beloved and who has many sin- cere mourners. There are two funerals of firemen, also, who died in the dis- charge of their duty, and the death of a prominent man in Kichmond made a call on Washington florists. Things are decidedly better, on the whole, than they were, but there is room for a lot of improvement yet. Various Notes. The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. had a man through the south last week and he brought back optimistic reports of the condition of trade in that region. The Washington Florists' Exchange is doing an excellent business and the manager, Albert Schnell, says it keeps him busy filling orders. The Washington Florists' Club is meeting in the greenhouse back of the F street store of Gude Bros. Co., but there is more or less agitation all the time over securing a permanent hall to meet in. As there is seldom a score of members in attendance and it takes something extraordinary to bring them out, it may be that the club will delay leasing a meeting place — at least as long as Gude Bros. Co. is such an ac- commodating landlord. Plans are being made already for the annual election and dinner. Of late years this has in- cluded the ladies, and it has grown to be a pleasant social event. The Washington Florists Co. opened its uptown branch at B and Fourteenth streets, northwest, October 16. There was an excellent display of stock from the concern 's own greenhouses. Z. D. Blackistone is an enthusiastic baseball fan and he is taking in the world's series. October 16 he went to Philadelphia to see the game and while there bought some supplies for his store, the reconstruction work on which is. proceeding rapidly. Sidney Holland has reopened his store, at Eighteenth and Columbia road. He closed his place during the summer. George Cook is not down and out, as was reported recently. He suffered blood poisoning in his hand, it is true, as a result of a thorn prick, but he ia attending to his business just as if nothing had happened. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F.

The prices realized are satis- factory and will undoubtedly be more so as soon as Jack Frost takes away the outdoor blooms that have helped so materially to keep the market in an easy condition.

The green goods market is amply supplied. Various Notes. The Cincinnati Florists' Society will hold a special meeting October 23, at the flower market. The executive and entertainment committees of the flower show will have full reports for consid- eration of the society. The writer wishes to correct a mistake he inad- vertently made in the letter of last week. J. Chas. McCullough was the donor of the silver cup for the rose ex- hibit at the show. Mr. Corbett, successor to Qraser & Humphreys, Mt. Sterling, Ky., was in town last week, placing orders among the wholesalers. Miss Lena Olinger, of Aurora, HI., is visiting Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Olinger at their Bellevue home. Fred Bruggemann one day last week caught about seventy-five blue-gills at Ellis lake, near Hamilton. He forgot, however, to bring back with him a story of the "big one" that got away. C. E. Critchell reports a good call for valley and orchids and says his ship- ping business this fall is the best he ever has had at this season of the year. Invitations tell that Jos. Maunder, the popular Newport florist, will become a benedict December 6. His good for- tune won for him Miss Mane Sebartine. They were childhood sweethearts. Wm. Murphy and J. M.

Cold rains have also affected outdoor flowers. Chrysanthe- mums have come into the market in great quantities this week and there is a good market for them. Carnations are much better, but the stems are still short. Violets continue to sell well and keep getting better all the time. Killarneys are excellent, and a few Radiance are coming in. Beauties are fine in all grades and Taft roses are in splendid condition and are among the best sellers. Ward roses are in great favor, but the supply is light and the stems are short. Richmonds are just fair and are not going well, and Kaiser- ins are quite scarce at this writing. Valley is not quite up to grade, but is still in great demand. Gardenias are few, but cattleyas are fine and sell well. Dahlias, cosmos, anemones and marigolds are the few garden flowers that are selling this week, but a few good gladioli are still on the market. Primula obconica and potted chrysan- themums have come to fill the great de- mand for blooming plants, and are sold in advance. Various Notes. The Maurer-Haap Co. is doing a thriv- ing business in the seed department, handling bulbs, conifers and box trees for fall planting. Geo. J. Keller is growing some excel- lent white chrysanthemums. Wilson D. Oviatt died suddenly at his home in Highland avenue, October 9. While he had been in poor health for some time, his family did not ex- pect that the end was so near. Mr. Oviatt had been in the growing business for a number of years. Surviving him are his wife and three sons. Walter Salmon, of Brighton, is send- ing in Kaiserins and Pink Killarney roses of good quality. Charles Sharp, of Irondequoit, N, Y., has resumed his duties with H. E. Wil- son for the winter. Mrs. Maud Hallauer is no longer in the employ of H. E. Wilson. Mrs. Felix Alberts will leave soon for Qolorado, where she will spend the win- ter because of ill health. J. B. Keller Sons recently received a large importation of fancy cut flower baskets. Miss Lillian Wheeler has discontinued her vocal studies because of the busi- ness rush. Miss Helen Bishop was on the sick list last week. E. C. Campbell has restocked his North street store with new palms from his greenhouse for the winter triide. Salter Bros, have put up their dis- play of bulbs for fall planting. Fay Kennell, of Gates, N. Y., is cut- ting a late crop of gladioli which is fine stock. S. S.

The Florists' Bowling League rolled its second game of the season last week at Haas' place. Eleventh and Prairie streets. The following officers for this season were elected: Captain, Roy Cur- rie; secretary and treasurer, Walter Halli^ay. Quite a few new members were on hand. Fred C. Kesting, of West Bend, Wis., was a caller last week. The executive committee of the fall flower show was in session till midnight October 12. Plans as submitted by the A. F. Kellner Co. were thought of fa- vorably by all present and accepted. C. Dallwig reported that more advertising would be done than last year, espe- cially in the line of large bill posters. From present indications it is going to be the biggest show ever held here. A visit to the H. W. Koerner place, in Wauwatosa, October 15, was quite a treat, for it does ofie good to get away from the everyday run of stock, espe- cially when the stock he sees is worth while. Besides the decorative, show, cactus and century dahlias, Mr. Koerner has a collection of about 150 seedling varieties, which include some fine speci- mens which wUl be disseminated in due time. A giant white, averaging four inches in diameter, of the century type, is named Snow Storm, and is worth while considering. Another, tan in color, attains five inches in diam- eter and is called Autumn Glory. It is a fine specimen of the show varieties. Still another, light crimson in color, as yet unnamed, looks good. These will be put on the market in 1912. Besides dahlias, Mr. Koerner grows a large batch of gladioli, which in the past have c&rried off first honors more than once.

Downs was awarded a re- port of superior merit for (Jelosia Thompsoni pyramidalis. From R. & J. Farquhar & Co. came Viola cornuta pur- purea, awarded a report of superior merit. The same exhibitor also showed Lady Hillingdon, Radiance, Prince de Bulgarie and Mrs. Ward roses. W. W. jCdgar Co. was awarded a report of merit for Chrysanthemum Early Snow, also showing other varieties. James Wheeler exhibited Enchantress carna- tion. Various Notes. Frank J. Dolansky, of Lynn, has re- turned from a ten weeks' visit to Europe on the President Grant 's last trip, most of his time being spent in Germany, which he found drought- stricken, there being only one shower while he was there. Mr. Dolansky re- cently entered the commercial orchid field and now has three houses of cat- tleyas, Trianaes predominating. His labiatas are not yet opening. One house of poinsettias in pans is in grand shape, as is a house of gardenias. He also has five houses of roses and three of carna- tions, all in first-class shape. He is not growing sweet peas this season. John McFarland, of North Easton, has a nice house of poinsettias for Christmas, in pans and pots; also some in benches. A large house of chrysan- themums is chiefly Eaton and Bonnaffon for late cutting, to be followed by mig- nonette, now in pots. One house is de- voted to gardenias, of which a few flowers are still being cut. There is a tine bench also of Cypripedium insigne, bristling with spikes. The annual meeting of the Boston Co- operative Flower Market will be held October 23 and that of the Boston Flower Exchange October 28. Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, is picking from 3,000 to 4,500 carnations daily. He grows more Queen than any other sort and finds it the most profit- able of all. Other favorites are Fenn, Beacon, White Enchantress and En- chantress. None of the newer introduc- tions has as yet displaced these sorts in Mr. Christensen 's affections. October 10 Welch Bros, rounded out thirty-four years as wholesalers in Bos- ton. They were the pioneers in New England and their success has been earned by honest dealing and strict at- tention to business. October business has so far been excellent. John Barr, of Natick, has dropped the culture of "both cyclamens and hy- drangeas, for which he has been noted since going into business. He now grows nothing but carnations and pur- poses sticking to them. All his houses are in grand crop. His new variegated seedling, Mrs. B. P. Cheney, is in splen- did shape. The Boston Flower Growers Co. has fitted up a case for the display of sun- dries of all kinds* at the back of the Boston Flower Exchange market, where H. M. Robinson & Co. formerly had a stand. They purpose dealing in all kinds of miscellaneous florists ' supplies. W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, and Tj. E. Small, of Tewksbury, are the first in the local markets with excellent double violets. A. F. Anderson and Mishawum Greenhouses are consigning splendid Princess of Wales to J. W. Cohen. From S. J. Renter, Westerly, R. I., and W. W. Edgar Co., good flowers of the pure white chrysanthemum, Early Snow, are coming in. This variety takes well. Noted in N. R. Comley's window Octo- ber 14 were some fine sprays of Lapa- geria alba and rosea. Fall business here 18 good. Mrs. E. M. Gill, octogenarian florist of Medford, made one of the most charming designs for the funeral of the late General Lawrence. It was in the form of an arch forty inches high, with a scroll bearing the words, ' ' From Em- ployees. ' ' W. H. Elliott is cutting a grand lot of Rhea Reid, with long stems. This is superior to Richmond as grown by Mr. Elliott. The new pink, Christy Miller, is in good shape, while the standartl sorts are fine. Mrs. Aaron Ward is being more heavily grown than ever this "season. F. H. Houghton's new store on Park street is now in good running order. Park street will soon become a veritable florists' row. It now contains three wholesale markets and three up-to-date retail stores. Yellow marguerites have made their appearance again in the market, D, J. Horrigan, of East Foxboro, and J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, being the first shippers. Penn, oh Bromfield street, has one window entirely devoted to mums in pots and on long stems in vases. In another window, violets are once more a great specialty, but cattleyas and all other choice flowers are well repre- sented. The enlarged store has already brought an excellent increase in busi- ness. Robert Montgomery, of Natick, has the best roses seen this season. His va- rieties are the Killarneys, Richmond and Mrs. Aaron Ward. A new pink sport of Killarney is proving unsatisfactory with him, proving a weak grower. Aubrey A. Pembroke, who is one of the largest local growers of high grade carnations, is in the market with, sweet peas, including Mont Blanc, Florence Denzer and Watchung. He has a 400- foot house devoted to these for early winter blooming. Preliminary sche'dules for the mid- winter and spring shows of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society in 1912 are ready and may be had from the secretary, at 300 Massachusetts avenue. Local bulb dealers report an active demand. There is a specially strong call for late tulips and narcissi, while bedding hyacinths have moved well. Arnold & Petros, on Boylston street, are devoting their big show window to chrysanthemums, using autumn foliage with them to good advantage. They have an excellent line of pot plants and are well pleased with business up to date. The big fruit show to be held in Hor- ticultural hall October 23 to 28 under the auspices of the Boston Chamber of Commerce promises to be the finest ever seen in the east. Apples are this year of superb quality in New England and growers from Washington who are now here state that they have seen much finer fruit here than in the noted We- natchee valley. H. P. Hodgkina, for five years with W. W. Rawson Co., and for six years with R. & J. Farquhar & Co., is now New England representative of the Moore Seed Co., of Philadelphia. H. M. Robinson & Co. are receiving fine roses of all the leading sorts from their growers, Beauties, Aaron Wards and Lady Hillingdons being note- worthy. They now^have a fine lot ot cattleyas and other orchids. Business in their sundries department is brisk. W. N. Craig. Wax Bros., Central square, have a new delivery auto. GLEN COVE, L. I. The annual dahlia show of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held October 11 and brought out a fine dis- play. The silver cup donated by Henry A. Dreer for best collection was won by James Duthie, gardener to Mrs. E. M. Townsend. Other leading exhibitors and prize winners were: Mrs. W. J. Bucknall, Geo. Barton, gardener; Mrs. Benj. Stein, James Kirby, P. D. Handy, J. O'Brien, gardener; Emmett Queen, Geo. Ashworth, gardener; Mrs. D. F, Bush, Ernest Westlake, gardener; Mrs. H. L. Pratt, H. Gaut, gardener; Mrs. F. S. Smithers, V. Cleres, gardener; J. Ingram, Mrs. D. F. Bush, E. A. Reiden- bach 'and Capt. Delemay, R. Marshall, gardener. Among the honorable men- tions was one to Julius RoehrSi Co., for collection of orchids. At the regular monthly meeting of the society John McMillan and Guiseppe Marmorale were elected to active mem- bership and Mrs. F. N. Doubleday, of Locust Valley, to honorary membership. J. W. Everitt, James McDonald and Paul Reul were appointed judges of the monthly exhibits, which were this time from Jos. Robinson and F. Petroc- cia. James Duthie was presented with the Dreer and Stein silver cups. Julius Roehrs offered $10 for competition at the fall show and a letter was read from Vaughan's Seed Store offering a prize for the fall show. The donors were accorded a vote of thanks. The society's prize in November will be for chrysanthemums, twelve white, pink and yellow. OBITUARY. W. D. Ovlatt. Wilson D. Oviatt, for many years a grower at Rochester, N.

Prices vary consider- ably, for there is much difference in quality. Some of the stock now comingK in is superb. Oncidiums are more abun- dant than ever before. Gardenias are scarce. Quite a few gladioli are seen, standing around, for they do not move. Dahlias still arrive, for there has been no frost. The green goods market is quiet. Plenty of everything. Various Notes. Word has arrived from Nashville that Thomas H. Joy, of the Joy Floral Co., and Miss Monica McQinnis were quietly married October 15 and are on their way to Chicago, due here the latter part of the present week.

He is one of the firm that ran the flower store in the Masonic Temple, the closing of which created a breeze that now ap- pears to be forgotten. William Graff is again with Fried- man in the Congress hotel. It is un- derstood he will have charge of the new store Friedman is to open about November 1 under the name of the Western Floral Co.

PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. Frost is needed. The Indian summer that prevails just suits the plantsmen, but not so the cut flower market. The supply grows larger daily — so fast that the excellent demand is unable to keep Eace. Prices rule low. Dahlias have egun to wane, although they are still an important factor. Quality .in dahlias tells as much as in other flo\^ers. The quality stock only is bringing satis- factory returns. The chry8anth*»mum8 have completely changed in one week. A week ago these flowers were wanted for orders. Now the orders are wanted for the flow- ers. The market is not overstocked with chrysanthemums, but demand and supply are pretty evenly balanced, with prices unchanged. Gloria, pale pink; Mrs. Henry Robinson, white; Donatello, yellow; Bobert HalUday,. Pa- cific Supreme, pink, and Cremo, yellow, have been added to the list, for most of the varieties named in the last fort- night are strongly represented. Roses are extremely plentiful. Whit© was the exception for a few days, but that is changed now. White roses are nearly as plentiful as any other color. Beaw- ties are about the best value on the rose list today. I mean by this the long- stemmed Beauties. The lower grades are not plentiful. Carnations are fairly good stock, except red. The Wards and a few Pink Delight touch $4 per hun- dred. Valley is in brisk demand. There is lots of it. Double violets are worth while now and singles are excellent considering the temperature. Cattleyas move pretty well at the moderate prices asked. There are some nice Den- drobium formosum. Pansies have come. Cosmos is abundant. The other flowers merit no special comment. __ Berger Bros.'

Edward Parker, manager for the Dingee & Conard Co., has put into suc- cessful operation a modification of the western plan for early summer propaga- tion of roses to insure an early fall stock of young plants. In former years, Mr. Parker says, the company has never been able to keep pace with the fall demand for young rose plants that accompanies the bulb orders. The stock is so closely cleaned up in the spring and early summer that there is nothing left to offer in the early fall, depend- ence being placed on summer propaga- tion. These plants are not large enough to give satisfaction at this sea- son of the year. The western method is to plant the roses in February and grow them hard. This word "hard" means all that you can possibly attach to it. Briefly expressed, Mr. Parker says, the only air that reaches the houses during the hot May days comes from the door; the ventilators are kept tightly closed. The cuttings taken June 1 are started in a hotbed out- doors.

Compared with last year, trade is not particularly good, but the best part of the month is still to come and there is a chance that it may still catch up. The weather has been exceed- ingly warm, and, as there have been no heavy frosts, there are still a few garden flowers on the market, such as cosmos, Shasta daisies, antirrhinums, etc. Carnations are rather scarce, and as they improve in quality the price ad- vances. The electric show is using a number of carnations this week. Tea roses continue to be a glut on the mar- ket, and growers have been compelled, they say, to ' ' dump them by the wagon load." Some grand chrysanthemums are coming in, but the good ones are in the minority as yet. Most of the stock is of an ordinary grade, which does not demand a fancy price. Beauties and violets are cleaned up pretty well each day. There is no oversupply of either. Lily of the valley is always scarce; per- haps October weddings are the cause. Various Notes. The Colorado Florists' Club held its first fall meeting October 2, at T. M. A. hall. The advisability of organiz- ing a bowling league was discussed, but nothing definite was decided. Nom- inations of officers for the coming year were made. The election wUl take place at the next meeting, which will be held November 6, at the usual place. All members are requested to be present. The visit of President Taft helped a few of the florists, but the majority say it was unusually quiet the day he was here.

The banquet decoration at El Jebel temple was in charge of the Elitch-Long Flow- er Store. A Japanese artist in the window at the Tremont street store of A. C. Sin- ram is attracting a great deal of atten- tion. Most of his pictures are of flowers. Hugo Neflf, of the Park Floral Co., has been notably successful this year with gladioli, which he has grown in his home garden, having sold all he grew at a good price. He intends going into the business more heavily next year. Some beautiful orchid plants were seen in the Elitch-Long Flower Store recently. Walter Dorner, of the flower depart- ment of the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co., met with a serious accident recently. While walking in his sleep he missed his footing and fell, receiving injuries which will confine him to his home for some time. The latest addition to the store force of the Park Floral Co. is Herbert Claus- en, formerly manager for Hugh Scales, of Birmingham, Ala. S. E. Lundy, representing the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, called on the trade last week. Mr. Lundy has moved his family to this city, and will here- after call this place home. Emil Glauber is cutting a quantity of exceptionally fine Killarneys. His carnations are also of good quality. The Park Floral Co. entertained The Coterie at dinner on Wednesday eve- ning, October 4, in the dining room at the Broadway store.

The Indian Summer has had its usual influence' on the cut flower market and has foronght along enormous dahlia ship- ments, much of the stock unsalable, not because of lack of quality, but the mar- ket suffer^ from indigestion. Then, too, the mum streain grows hourly; the warm weather and the sunshine are ac- complishing wonders, and we shall have the late varieties crowding the early ones before the week is over. PoUy Rose was selling as low as $3 per hun- dred October 16, while $3 per dozen seems to be about the top for anything except the new varieties from the ex- pert growers. Beauties are arriving and quality is fast improving. The demand for the beet is wide-spread, because of the great number of society weddings, as many as seven in a single day last week. There are roses enough as to variety this sea- son to meet any fancy. The new kinds grow in favor. Taft, Lady Hillingdon, Sunburst, etc., are all great favorites. Bichmonds are improving rapidly in flower and stem. Prices have been fair- ly steady, but do not advance. Carnations feel the effect of the hot wave and a good many of them were asleep when received October 14. The top price has been 3 cents, but only high grade stock could command that figure. Most of the arrivals sold at 2 cents and under. Valley is in good demand and the best of it holds at 3 cents. Lilies come in hundreds where the ship- ments averaged thousands a few weeks ago. Violets lack color and qual- ity, but the growers up the Hudson are sending down about a quarter of a million daily. Gardenias are improving and prices advancing, consequent upon the limited supply. Orchids in many varieties hold well at prevailing rates, 50 cents being the top for cattleyas. Great quantities of autumn foliage are reaching the New York market and this is used widely in the church wed- ding decorations. Cosmos is still unin- jured by the early frosts. Smilax is overabundant. Tritomas, tuberoses and pansies add their quota to the infinite variety. Various Notes.

Ward person- ally. They are prepared Bometimes on the spur of the moment, per- haps during his hour ride on the Reading Railroad every morning and evening, or whenever he feels 80 inclined and in his various moods. Of course, some you do not like, and some you tolerate, and we have been told some have done us harm. Those which have done us harm have necessarily done others good and we are not so jealous of our competition as to deny them their portion of business. Mistakes are made by Mr. Ward occasionally, and sometimes big ones, but we are working away just the same, hoping to improve until we reach that age when we begin to decline, as all men do, and when that time comes we want younger blood to take the reins, continue boosting what is right and make away with the ways and means of bygone days. Our business is to sell bulbs — especially lily bulbs — we have no seed store — we sell wholesale only. We import what we sell direct and our sources of supply are reliable, actual growers and not merely exporters or dealers. Our aim is to induce growers to buy the best and we discourage the sale of inferior bulbs — for two good reasons; first, because a grower can not succeed in handling inferior bulbs and, secondly, a permanent business can not be built up in bulbs alone unless one delivers the very best that can be procured.

It is further shovyn that the pea canners are considering making a ma- terial raise iu their selling prices to cover the abnormally high cost of seed. "Wisconsin pea packers are much concerned," says the house referred to, "over the seed pea situation. Seed houses are delivering twenty, thirty and in a few instances fifty per cent on their future contracts. The present market is $7.50 per bushel for the sweet wrinkled varieties. This seed must go to the growers at $3 per bushel, a loss of $4.50 per bushel, or $18 per acre to the packer. On a fifty case per acre yield, which is somewhere near the average yield, this means an increased coat of 18c per dozen on their 1912 pack. "It is a cinch that packers can't stand this. It is equally certain that the 1912 pack will have to sell for more money. Some packers think the price ought to be uniformly raised about 20 cents per dozen. We do not think this wise. The price to the consumer must be taken into consideration. Our guess is that future prices when named will average 10 cents per dozen; ranging from 5 to 15 cents per dozen over the opening prices for 1911." CHISHOLM'S MOVE.

We can make immediate de- livery of all the. undermentioned varieties. Our stocks of Christmas Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the larg- est growers of this increas- ingly popular flower, as to the trueness and quality of our seed, earliness of bloom- ing period, and strength and habit of plants. The following varieties are the "best by test " and include Zvolanek's and our own introductions, grown for seed from selected stocks by the leading California Growers and Specialists of Sweet Peas. Our output last year was nearly 6000 lbs. No kicks and plenty of testimonials as to qual- ity, germination and true- ness to type. ■^ ^/v> .. ..i^'^^^v*. *' :?»♦; v,Au -"^ HHppH^w rHB^B^Hapwv^i Htt ' tiSflUfcjiyl ^^^^^«M^.^^^^^HMHi8iM 9 ^ 0 P •...tair^i^^ m Rf i •"— vjt* ' Ai.4Fr. tf-^a^gf^'' if*Ji msi^m*%u,^m\ Jdt^ i P^iX ml^K^'^MKff§ ' ""^ ' T ^ vi\ 1 BtSdfjd^^h^AtffijH^flBLR i , " t^' 1- t J T^IITTBR-FLOWEBINO SWBET PEAS AT NATIONAL IXOWER SHOW.

F LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON "We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price. * The stock that we ofier is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow- ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, orii^uial stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not growii on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- oughly manured whefi the previous crop is ^wn, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily btubs are planted ao ð maatHC ^ used) this prevents disease and insures r crop -of strong, heaMiy bulbs. In addition to tfiis, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they arc thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock ootain- aUe as good as the stock that we are offering. "We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk and when this is disposed of we uaU have no more to offer. While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest^our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources, we are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflmtim, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and tfiat we have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand tots^ $^40.00 per 1000 - , * 7-9 indi buUjs, 200 to the case, 16.0&p«> case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1009 ~ ^ . ^. 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots," 175.00 per 1000 i^'*t(4 ^1 ••<* ht' FERNS We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following v^etfes—gOM, bushyy weO-frown plants fl most critical buyers.

OCtOBEB 19, 1911. .- ^.*^^ ^, NEW BEDFORD, MASS. Business of late has been quiet. Flow- ers are none too plentifiU — that is, flowers that are usable. Carnations are still scarce; they retail at 60 cents and 75 Cents per dozen; roses retail at $1 and $1.50 per dozen; violets at $1 per hundred blooms; snapdragons, short- stemmed, at 50 cents and 60 cents per dozen; lilies at $2 per dozen.^ There are a few gladioli still seen. There ^re still plenty of outdoor flowers, such as dah- lias, zinnias, cosmos, etc. Mums retail at $3 per dozen. Plants are in fairly good demand. Bulbs are now being sold in the stores, retailing generally at 35 cents per dozen for tulips, 10 cents per dozen for crocus and 35 cents per dozen for narcissi. I\ineral work has been light of late. Last week was a week of sunshine and warm weather, and this has opened the flowers quickly. Steady fixing is now the rule at most of the places. W. L. WOODFORD, VT. In the town of Woodford at the pres- ent time there are scores of people* picking ferns. .<»f^t would be impofA sible to estimate S^^ many thousajj^r of dollars' worth olnRiese will be taken from the town this |all. Picking be- gan earlier this year than usual and will be kept up until the falling snows prevent. It is romantic work in a way, for in many parts of the town there are encampments of families, and par- ties who declare that they never en- joyed themselves so much in making money.- Already several large shipments of ferns have been made to New York city, which will be kept in cold storage.

G. POBTI.AND, ORE. The Market. Scarcity of flowers on the outside is gradually increasing the demand; yet it is hard for the general public to appre- ciate the reason for the prices asked by the florists. Mums are the main fea- ture in the window displays. So far there is a scarcity of these. Queen, Gloria, Comoleta and Bonnaffon are the prevailing varieties. Boses and carna- tions are improving and move well. Dahlias are plentiful and. of varied colors, but unsatisfactory as to keeping qualities. Gladioli have prov.ed a profit- able summer and fall flower, and for decorations there is nothing so satis- factory.

The matter came up in a protest of F. B. Vandegrift & Co., custom-house brokers, and in his opinio^'handed down October 5 General Appraiser '^aite said: "The merchandise in question is in- voiced as '2,500 Rosa rugosa. ' These are rose plants, and were assessed un- der the provision in paragraph 264, tariff act of 1909, for 'rose plants^ budded, grafted, or grown on their ow» roots, 4 cents each.' They are claimed by the importers to be dutiable under the further provision in the same para- graph for 'stocks, cuttings, or seedlings of . • * • briar rose, 3 years ©Id or less, $1 per thousand plants.' ' ' Some test^Ony was taken in this case; and th^Tbqard has had before it at variousximeiv^eretoforQ a commod- ity knownfiEis 1{B^ B'osa rugofla. See G. A. 4635 ft. A 21922). The Eosa ru- gosa, it seems, is not the true briar rose, which is raised in this country as a seedling for stock upon which to graft other roses for the production of rose plants,«but is a native of the Orient; and while it is grown from the seed, it embraces several varieties, some of which are desirable as rose plants for "e culture of roses to be used as cut flowers and for ornfimental purposes. These desirable varieties are perpetu- ated and propagated by nleans of graft- ing or budding upon other stalks or stems, as in this case. When that oper- ation is performed we are satisfied the goods are not covered by that portion of the paragraph claimed by the im- porters, but have then become rose plants, budded or grafted. The testi- mony upon the^part of the importers is clear that the "plants here in question are the budded and grafted rose plants of a particular variety of Rosa rugosa, desirable as a rose in rose culttfte and for ornamental purposes.

Please tell me what I can substitute for well decayed stable manure, mix- ing it with good outside soil to be used ' in growing lettuce under glass. Is there ^ a good brand of pulverized manure that ^ I can use? It is impossible to get good, '.. decomposed stable manure here at any ' price. A. B. W. ) 'i- ' IV The right wa^y |o get decayed manure is to get it wben fresh, and keep it wet and turned over frequently until it is cold, so as not to allow it to burn dry. It is usually spoiled by being in the pile undisturbed until it burns dry and loses most of its value. If you can not get good manure to use now, you can use any of the pul- verized manures or commercial fertil- ia^e ckdvertised in The Review, and get good results. Dried blood is a great fertilizer for lettuce. Any of these fer- tilizers should be covered with soil and not left on top to mold, but do not turn them under too deeply. If your soil is not loose, you can scatter some sand over it and work it in to loosen it up. If it has been well ma- nured, however, it is not likely to be heavy. H| G. LETTUCE IN QEBANIUM HOUSES. I wish to plant my houses to lettuce, 80 I can get two crops without crowd- ing my geraniums too much. How soon can I plant the lettuce here, in northeastern Ohio? I now have some nice plants, about two inches high. , Would it be advisable to pUwt these, or would they run up too much and b« too light? The variety is Grand Rapids. G. C. H. It takes" about twelve weeks from seed to market Grand Rapids lettuce. The crop can be transplanted to the houses about four weeks after the seed is planted; so it is on the benches only eight weeks. It is not too early now for the lettuce plants which you say are two inches tall. The demand in November is usually good, although the prices are lower than they are a little later. Keep the ventilators wide open all day, as these bright days are pretty warm for the plants under glass. . H. G. LETTUCE TO FOLLOW MUMS. Can lettuce be grown in a violet house, following Bonnaffon mums? If so, when should the seed be planted? I should like ^0 know a little about the culture of the crop in its early stages. J. A. & S.

Plant the seed about four weeks before the mums will be out of the way. Transplant the seedlings as soon as they are up nicely, placing them about 1^/^x2 inches apart, in flats or, better, in a bench, and they will stay there until benches are prepared for them. The soil should be loose and sandy for best results. If the soil is too heavy, scatter a good coat of sand over the top, also some rotted manure, and turn it well and carefully. Place the plants about 6x8 inches apart in the beds. Water them well at this second transplanting and be careful about watering afterward. Do not water too often. Let the water run in between the plants, as with violets, so as not to wet the foliage much. Keep the house cool. H. G.

The retailers are all busy in a way, and some of them have been having some nice decorations. Various Notes. J. J. Beck, of New Castle, Pa., has 'the sympathy of his many friends in the death of his wife October 11. Mrs. Beck was operated on last spring, but never entirely recovered. Wm. Trumpore, who was in the re- tail business in this city some years ago, was a visitor last week. He just said "How Do I" and kept on farther west on business. He has been with J. H. Small & Sons, New York city, since leaving here. Harry Hamm, of Wilkinsburg, had two large decorations at the Hotel Schenley last week. Mr. Hamm says his business is increasing right along. Hoo-Hoo. Butler, Pa. — Anton Krut has been re- modeling his store, on South Main street. He has moved the floor down to the level of the street and has added a handsome show window, which extends back into the room a distance of flfteen feet, giving excellent opportunity for the display of stock.

Can be had from July onward accordiog to date of plant- ing and selecting buds. Being more dwarf and flow- ers more double than October Frost, is a decided im- provement on that variety. It wa> so well received by all purchasers this season, we predict a very heavy demand. Price, 11.20 per 10; $10.00 per 100. UNAKA— This variety has sugtalned our last year's description. Being a stroDR Krower'with per- fect stem and foliage, a fine incurvsd bloom of a pleasing shade of pink and maturing the first week of October, places it foremost among early pinks. In fact, there is no other good pink to compete with it at this date. Price, $1.20 per 10; $10.00 per loO. CHRY jOtOBA— This variety is about 15 days earlier than Col. D. Appleton, It of larger size, stronger stem, not as tall, in color is intermedUte between this variety and Major Bonnafton. This with its exceflent keeping qualities places it in the front ranks of the commercial sorts. Price, $3.00 per 10; $26.00 per 100. Place Tonr Orders Early. ELMER D. SMITH & CO., Adrian, Mich.

That the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Men 's Association ought to act in behalf of the merchants who sell flowers, to prevent Yale University from cutting into their trade, was the statement of Chapel street florists con- cerning the announced plan of the Yale bureau of sel^-help to open a flower shop on the campus. "If the . university, ' ' said one florist, ' ' is going into a general retail business, then it is about time the merchants of the city took the matter up to see what they can do about it." Charles Munro e^cpressed his opinion as follows: "I don't see how they can make a success of it anyway, but we have our Chamber of Commerce to at- tend to such affairs in our behalf and I think that organization ought to look into this matter. If the univer- sity is going to enter a general retail business it seems to me it is high time the tax-paying merchants of the city have something to say about it. The university pays no taxes and we do and we ought to be entitled to scTme protection. They will not make a suc- cess of their flower shop, in my opinion. Flowers are perishable, extremely so, and it takes expert knowledge to make a profit out of the business. If the students who are behind this propo- sition are poor now, they will be poorer in six months, for what they make off one student they lose on another." S. H. Moore said: "The percentage of flower-buying students is smkll. This shop will have to depend for its patron- age on the students. I don't see where it can get any other business. I think the scheme might be a success if proper- ly handled, but I do not see how green men — that is, men of no knowledge of the business — can conduct it on a pay- ing basis. I think the Business Men's Association might do wAl to inquire into the matter." COLORADO SPBINOS, COLO. The Florists had a narrow escape in their latest match with the Gardeners' team, winning by five points. The final score read: Florists, 1,630; Gar- deners, 1,625. At the end of the first match, the Gardeners led by eight points. In the second half the Florists picked up, and, through the strong bowling of Douglas, won out. E. John- son made the best showing for the Gardeners. Here are the scores: FLORISTS. GARDENERS, iBt. 2d. l«t. 2d. nniiclas .. 177 162 Sauerwald .. 78 170 S2?rv 84 120 J.

Ideal weather has brought out the mums and other stock in grand profu- sion. The demand, also, is brisk and the fall business is reported good. Dahlias have arrived in excellent con- dition; the fancy varieties are perfect in every respect and bring good prices. Plants have also been in evidence dur- ing the last week and, while not yet heavily in flower, have sold well. Val- ley was almost out of the question last week, for the supply was cleaned up every day. Heavy funeral orders used the bulk of the flowers and many smaller weddings took considerable stock. Various Notes. Every fall,, for some reason or other, flower stores spring up here like mush- rooms. Last week no less than three stores were opened, all on the east side, where the majority of the stores are now situated. The store opened by J. H. Bebstock is the one most worthy of note, for he has leased a store in a new building situated in the new business district, and a fashionable one, too. The store has every appearance of an up-to-date place and, while he has been in a desirable location, the last move is considered a good one. William Poore has just completed an addition of two small houses to the three he already had. His increased spring trade has made it necessary for him to make this change. Even the florists have gone into poli- tics heavily this year, as two of our worthy brothers are on the ticket. Mr. Schoenhut and Mr. Adams are run- ning for the office of councilman and supervisor, respectively. Mr. Kasting is also one of the men on the Demo- cratic list. R. A. S. BUTHEBFOBD, N. J.

The result has been fully demonstrated during the past rainy season, for a better drained piece of farm land would be diflScult to find. The fertility is due to two things: first, cleanliness; second, intensive fanning. Manures have been used and commercial fertilizers are being used, but just now chief reliance is placed on green crops turned under. The con- dition of the farm, its tilth and vigor of growth are the strongest endorse- ment of the wisdom of this policy. The three big crops now being har- vested are peonies, phloxes and Japa- nese iris. Their importance is prob- ably in the order named. It is difficult to form a clear idea of the magnitude of the transactions in these three crops unless a walk is taken over the farm. Then you form a faint idea of the im- mense quantities that are going from this place all over the country. Delphinium Belladonna is another im- portant perennial that is grown here; its dark blue sport and the white, Moerheimi, are the leading varieties of larkspur today. All three thrive WaRb BR/lNb PuLvcRizEb Sheep- Fulyerized C/iTTte SHREbbEb C/ITTLC MANURE These Manures are used by the best growers because they are abso- lutely pure, safe and reliable and especially prepared for florists' use in the greenhouse.

Pyrethrum uligino- sum stellatum, a Dreer introduction that originated here, is a glistening white daisy, the best for cutting; in late sum- mer and fall; it has large flowers and is a free bloomer. "'» . ^J- "> ■ < ^ There was just ei^ough color left in the phloxes, late in the season as it was, to make them pretty. Three new va- rieties have come strongly to the front: Elizabeth Campbell, salmon pink; Frau Anton Buckner, dwarf, considered the finest white, with large flowers; Bosen- berg, mauve. The roses at the farm have shown wonderful growth this sea- son. The combination of the crimson clover with the soil has proven just what they wanted. Maman Cochet, in poor condition when planted, is fully three feet high, while Papa Gontier has flowers of excellent size and color. The greenhouses at Riverview are in splendid condition, showing the advan- tage of an easily run place, for in these tremendously busy fall days the turn- ing on of two or three valves when needed on a night like that of Septem- ber 13 means the diflference between robust vigor and that tired feeling so often seen in plant, as in human be- ings. Riverview is devoted to pretty much the same class of stock that was seen there last March, when the place was first visited by the Florists' Club of Philadelphia. Kentias in splendid condition, the only largo block of 6- inch arecas in the country, ditto varie- gated pineapple in all sizes. Phoenix Roebelenii admirably finished, and a crop of unusual interest, Dracaena indivisa. The place is also strong in ferns. Of the nephrolepis type, Bos- ton, Scottii and Whitmani are the prin- cipal varieties, with W. K. Harris and Scholzeli to complete the quintet. A feature of the fern section is Adiantum Glory of Moordrecht that is being tried in nephrolepis temperature. While the experiment is only partly made, Mr. Eisele is confident that it will succeed. The far-reaching effect of this discovery will be seen at a glance. Adiantum Farleyense will be a thing of the past, for Glory of Moor- drecht, wherever graceful sprays of the beautiful Farleyense are desired, is a fern revolution. Mr. Clark has been successful with his first sowing of seed of Adiantum Glory of Moordrecht; he estimates that something like 10,000 have germinated. The dahlias and eannas have' been transferred from Locust Farm to River- view. Evidently they enjoy the change, for a finer lot, E. H. Michel, asserts, the^ never h^ye had, and ^r. Michel ijr'^aa. excellent ;^udg6. ^' Coeos Weddelliana is a feature of the Dreer place at Riverton, an exclusive specialty. The specimens of this grace- ful palm are perfect. From the speci- mens down to the tiny seedlings, every size is abundantly represented. Ken- tias in immense quantities are ably grown. The feature of the Phcenix Roebelenii is the tub size four feet high, five feet spread. Roses are an increasing industry. An illustration of the interest taken by the amateur in new and choice varieties of roses is shown by the fact that the mere mention of the history of the va- riety Robert Huey brought an order for a dozen at an unusual price. The big range usually filled by azaleas at this season houses new faces: Rho- dodendron Chandleri, the Christinas forcing variety of today, a variety that will hold its buds when bumped or chilled, and araucarias in the three leading sorts are there in fine condi- tion. The azalea has gone, with a sigh of relief. What a difference it will make to the country I The holly fern, Cyrtomium Rochfordi, despite the removal of the spore fronds, showed that the claim for its place as a specimen is well founded. The appearance of the tables in the packing shed indicated great activity. POINSETTIAS. When should the bracts on poinset- tias begin to show! If they don't show at the right time, what should I do to stop growth and make blooms? I have some six inches high. Give me the best culture to get them in for Christ- mas. T. S. & F. Co. Your poinsettias will show bracts all right in due time, but not before No- vember. Do not on any account do anything to check their growth. This will only cause the plants to drop their foliage and completely spoil them. If they are in a sunny house, kept at 50 to 55 degrees at night, they will do well. As soon as the bracts show, give them a night temperature of 60 degrees in order to get them in nice condition for Christmas. C. W.

KEEP BOILEBS FILLED. Can some of our experienced florists give us the best method generally pur- sued with steam boilers while they are idle during summer? Are they kept dry or should the water remain in them? What percentage of boiler insurance on greenhouse steam boilers is carried; also, what percentage of accidents through boilers exploding occur, say in a period of three years? The best information on this will be appreciated. Our locality is a gulf coast town. M. F. Co. The usual custom is to keep the boil- ers filled with water during the sum- mer. The oxidation of the inner sur- face of the boiler and heating pipes is, of course, due to the air contained in the water, and this has been largely expelled from the water which has been in the boiler for some time. If this water is drawn off, the wet sur- face of' the boiler is again brought into contact with the air, and when the boiler is refilled in the fall the water will again contain a considerable amount of air and the oxidation will be greater than had the water been unchanged. The advantage from keep- ing the boiler filled during the summer is even greater in hot water plants, as then the heating pipes can be kept filled as weU. Comparatively few florists, who use low pressure steam for heating, have their boilers insured. While we have no accurate data, the number of and loss from explosions is quite small. FIFING FOB ILLINOIS HOUSES. I have six houses, from ten to fo^r• teen feet wide and nine feet to the ridges and five feet to the gutters.

The monthly meeting of the Spring- field Florists' Club was held October 9, at the office of the Good & Reese Co. The retiring president, Charles W. Schmidt, entertained the members with a 'characteristic and pleasing farewell address and turned the chair over to hi4 successor, Christian Binning. In as- suining the duties of the office, Mr. Bitining thanked the members for th6 hojior conferred upon him, and his first announcement was to the effect that he would secure a gavel with which to encourage every person present at com- ing meetings to invariably address the chair, and thus facilitate the prompt and decorous transaction of business. The club was greatly encouraged to a continuation of effort toward the beau- tification of the city by a letter from one of the school principals, which read, in part, as follows: "On behalf of my patrons, pupils and teachers and my- self, I wish to thank you for the most re- markable revolution wrought in the gen- eral appearance of the Garfield school yard. We wish to extend our thanks to the Geo. H. Mellen Co. and their superin- tendent, Mr. Binning. They have done for the Garfield school what the board of education has failed to do for half a century and they are certainly enti- tled to the credit. Mr. Binning 's color scheme has excited no little comment and he can well .feel proud of his ex- penditure of time and labor at our place. ' ' The special committee on place of meeting reported in favor of accepting the offer of the Commercial Club to make use of its rooms on the second Monday evening of each month. This plan was adopted and the next meet- : ing will be held accordingly and will be in the nature of a banquet, at which various members of the club will make addresses. The former plant of the Fairview Floral Co., at Beatty, will be disman- tled and the houses removed by the Geo. H. Mellen Co., who will reerect them adjoining their large range of houses and will install a central heat- ing plant next summer. The three acres of ground and residence have been purchased by Wm. F. Davis, who will take possession June 1, 1912. Billy iSunday has taken our city by storm and his taberjiacle service was attended Octpber 13 by over 200 florists in a body, employers and employees marching in together and occupying a special reserved section of seats in the center of the house.

The proprietors are Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Stimson. During the summer of 1910 they added four green- houses to their range in the suburbs, and in the first part of September of that year they opened a handsome new store in the Haight building, at the corner of Second avenue and Pine street, in the midst of the shopping dis- trict. The interior of this store is shown in one of the photographs here reproduced. The manager, T. B. Pritchard, thinks it is one of the finest stores on the Pacific coast — or did he say the finest on the coast, without ex- ception? The range of fourteen green- houses shown in the other picture has been added to in the last few months by the erection of two carnation houses, 70x225. The automobile used for delivery, the first of its kind in the city, is shown in front of the greenhouses. HOW SHAU. IT BE DONE?

The Northern Indiana Florists ' Asso- fiation held its quarterly meeting at Fort Wayne, October 18, at which time the regular business was transacted.

It was Columbus day, one of those perfect afternoons in October when the haze of Indian summer intensifies the color of flower and foliage to a degree that arouses admiration in all. The Chester valley, beautiful at all times, was doubly so that afternoon. The greens and browns that predominated as you climbed the hill beyond West Grove gave way to a mass of rich color- ing, seldom, if ever, seen before. Broad sought in this work. Success comes gradually, but when one glances back over the seventeen years of Mr. Wint- zer 's work with the canna his success seems little short of marvelous. As I remember it then a canna was a canna; Indian shot, the gardeners called them, probably on account of the hard seed, that requires twenty-four hours in hot water to secure prompt germination. They were usually red and were grown for the foliage more than for the flower. Gtnoas in the Nursery of G>nard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa. expanses of green and bronze foliage, covering acres of ground, were lit by magnificent clusters of large, bright- hued flowers in more colors and shades of color than I have ever seen else- where. The effect was heightened by the colors being planted together, a number in a block, while the blocks are distributed in various parts of the ground, allowing the other crops, most- ly green, such as Japanese barberry, to intervene. I wish I could convey to you an idea of the beauty of the scene; it was like a table decoration, exquisite as to color and arrangement; or, if you are a landscape artist, fancy an effect that you have dreamed of but could ifot achieve for lack of suitable mate- rial or for want of liberality in your customer. A nearer view brought out the ex- quisite colors of the varieties more clearly, the softness and richness of the pinks resembling the rose or the orchid. The purity of the whites is a distinct achievement from the hybrid- izer's art. At the foot of the slope where the eannas were growing Antoine Wintzer was busily engaged in lifting certain ^ets, mostly seedlings, for hybridizing. You know he pots them and takes them ijndoors, thus insuring a winter crop 0f flowers. With the aid of the camel 's- hair brush another set of seedlings is secured by springtime and a season gained in the march of progress. The true hybridizer has a definite aim with 6very cross attempted. Vigor, shade of color, size of bloom, one or mofe of a dozen different qualities that combine t(fc .make up th^ modern canna, are Compare this with the canna of today: pinks and white, quite as common as the red; yellows stretching through a long line of yellow mingled more or less with red; carmine, crimson, scarlet, to say nothing of the orchid or gla- diolus tj'pe of flowers, or their immensity of size. Can anyone say that the prog- ress made in cannas is not wonderful? There were many special features of interest. Here was Minnehaha in per- fect form, the indescribably soft shade of blush pink of the large flowers con- trasting charmingly with broad bronze foliage. There was Mrs. Alfred F. Conard, recognized as the best pink canna today; color, size and freedom of bloom are unsurpassed. Beyond, Olym- pic, a wonderful canna of carmine or orient red coloring that makes it unique. I might go on and on with de- scriptions of varieties of striking beau- ty, but one more will do. It is an in- teresting comparison between Butter- cup, still the standard yellow canna, and Brilliant, a claimant for that honor, of great vigor and remarkable freedom of bloom. There are new cannas com- ing, cannas of promise. Some day they will make their mark. It is my wish to make known the cannas of today. Wherever plants are grown outdoors, for- beauty and effect, these cannas should have their place. Phil. WINTEBINQ GEBBEBAS. Will you kindly inform me whether gerberas are hardy? Is it safe to leave them out for the winter? Sometimes^ in this New Mexico climate, the tem- perature goes 1 to 5 degrees below zero for a few nights and then it may change and not even freeze for a while. The sun is quite hot and we rarely have cloudy weather. I bought some hybrid gerberas in the spring and some plants are beginning to bloom for the first time. Will it be best to take them up and plant them in benches or pots in the carnation houses? R. V. B. These charming annuals, commonly known as the Barberton daisies, are natives of South Africa. The best known variety, G. Jamesoni, named in honor of Dr. Jameson, leader some years ago in the historical raid with which his name is identified, is a native of the Transvaal.

The Weekly Rorists* Review* IS Antoine Wintzer aod Robert Pyle Discussing the Remarkable Attractiveness of Canna Venus en Masse. these plants on bigh, well drained ground to winter outside even in New England, I would not advise you to leave your plants outdoors, for in win- ter and early spring, the seasons when the flowers have the most commercial value, you could get nothing from the l)lants outdoors even if they lived. A bench in a carnation house with an average winter minimum temperature of 50 to 52 degrees will suit them nicely and, heated thus, they will give you quite a few flowers. Lift them as care- fully as possible, so as to have some soil adhere to the roots. If you can plant some stock outdoors about the last part of April, you will get some fine flowers in late summer — better than can be had under glass. It would be worth while to experiment wi.fl a few plants, mulching with leaves or straw as freezing weather arrives. C. W. HTDBANOEAS FOR SPRING, We have 500 hydrangeas ordered for November delivery, grown in 6-inch pots. How shall we handle them to .get best results for Easter and Me- morial dayf W. & G. It is important that the hydrangeas should not have been exposed to any sharp frosts before being forwarded. Well ripened wood will stand consid- erable cold, but green, immature wood is easily injured. Presuming, however, that your plants were all right when received, place them in a cold pit or greenhouse close to the light, or in a light cellar where they can be?kept as little above freezing as possible, and if the wood is plump, a little frost will not harm them. Plants intended for Easter flowering should be run on the dry side, exposed to full sun, and by Christmas they should have hard, nutty- like wood. As the pots are doubtless a mass of roots, it will be better to give the plants a little shift, using a fibrous compost; 8-inch pots will pro- duce fine specimens, carrying up to a dozen heads each. Start right after Christmas, in a temperature of 50 de- grees. Spray freely, but do not water too much until the plants have broken freely; then give water in abundance. As they advance, raise the temperature 5 degrees. When flower heads are show- ing, 60 degrees at night, free syringing and lots of water will be needed. Feed liberally when the plants are well rooted around the pots. As the heads show color, keep a trifle cooler if time will permit. For Memorial day, the plants can come on more naturally. Start in a cool house in February. As Easter stock goes out, give them more space and heat. Remember always that hy- drangeas are thirsty subjects and like plenty of feeding. Never allow green aphis to get any foothold. Gas, force of water, spraying with nicotine, Aphine and other insecticides, as well as ordinary fumigations with nicotine, will, any one of them, keep the plants clean. C. W. DETROIT COMMITTEES.

"While they will stand considerable frost in the fall, they are easily injured in spring. It is gener- ally safer to house them after Novem- ber 1, and in some places even earlier, for it is unwise to subject them to a lower temperature t\)an 20 to 22 de- grees above zero. The cellar in which they are stored should have light from above and the doors should be kept wide open on every favorable day. While the plants will not need nearly so much water in winter as at other seasons, they should be looked over oc- casionally and never be allowed to be- come really dry, or they will suffer. Planting Out Bulbs. The planting out of bulbs should be completed as soon as possible, for the longer the bulbs are out of the soil, the poorer will they flower. Of course, it is -possible to delay this planting, even until December, but the results are never so satisfactory. Lilixuns, except candidum, which will already have been planted, do not usually arrive until November or De- cember. It is well to prepare the ground for them and mulch with straw or leaves, planting them as soon as they arrive. Such varieties as auratum, Henryi, speciosum, Brownii, Hansoni and tigrinum should be planted ten to twelve inches deep. Use no fresh manure in the soil. Lay some sand below them and scatter some more over them, sufficient to cover the bulbs. It is particularly important to plant liliums as quickly as possible after be- ing received, to secure the best results. Dahlias. The present autumn has been a par- ticularly open one and in many places dahlias are still blooming with great freedom. It is, of course, unwise to cut them down while the flowers last, but after they are frozen, they should be cut down to within six or eight inches of the ground, lifted on a sunny day and allowed to dry well before storing them, and be careful not to place them in too warm and drying a place. They are best kept in a cellar which is frostproof without the use of fire heat, laid on racks or shelves to keep them away from moisture. A cellar which will keep potatoes well should be all right for dahlias. If there are only a few roots, put them in boxes and then cover with dry sand. Stored thus, they will come out all right in spring, and when thus covered a little frost in the cellar will not reach the roots. Shamrocks. Late in October or early in Novem- ber is a suitable time to sow seeds of shamrock intended for St. Patrick's day, March 17. A variety of shamrocks are offered and no one knows what the true shamrock is, while many deny that St. Patrick used the shamrock at all. In England and Ireland most of the shamrock sold March 17 each year is Oxalis Acetosella, the wood sorrel, the balance being chiefly Trifolium repens, the white clover. The former is always fresher and. greener in March than the clover. In America, most of the shamrocks are the trifolium, but spe- cial shamrock seed is purchasable at a higher rate. Sown at the time stated, any of the varieties used as shamrocks will be of a salable size. They want a cool house all the time. WaUflowers. Every retail florist with any claims of being up-to-date likes to get hold of a few bunches of wallflower daily. It is, unfortunately, not a hardy plant over most of the United States and must, therefore, be lifted and potted or benched in the fall. Both the yel- low and blood red varieties sell well, as everyone seems to enjoy the spring- like suggestion in the odor of the flow- ers. Wallflowers want a cool house at all times and will not stand any fore ing. Early in the new year small bunches are much in demand and it pays every florist with a general retail trade to grow a few pots if he has the spaee. ■ , ,. Schizanthus. The earliest sown batch of schizan thus seedlings should now be well es- tablished in 5-inch pots and, if they have been given one or two pinchings. they should be shapely and will not need any supports until near flowering time. "While schizanthus is especially valuable as a pot plant in early spring, it may be had in bloom for Christmas. If wanted at that date, discontinue pinching. Give the plants a shift into 7 -inch pots. If they are in 4-inch pots move first into 6-inch pots, using rich soil. Place where they are close to the glass, in , a house which is freely aired and not kept over 50 degrees at night. Schizanthus, to be stocky, must be grown cool and, unless wanted early, they will be better kept at 45 degrees at night or even lower. If a further batch of seed is sown early in Novem- ber, nice flowering plants can be had in March. The best pot variety, on ac- count of its dwarf habit, is S. "Wisetonensis, but there are some large - flowered hybrids which are fine. TO BENEW EXHAUSTED SOIL. What fertilizers, and what quantities I)er acre, should we use to restore ex- hausted land, which has been planted to carnations for two successive sea- sons? Cow manure is not procurable. We want lasting fertilizers, which will promote a rank growth of carnations. The land is a fine, sandy loam and in spots is almost pure sand, where, of course, the growth is most unsatisfac- tory and the plants are not of healthy color. We are located in central Cali- fornia. C. L. W. Unless a soil has at least a fairly good base of loam to build up from, it is difficult to improve it in a permanent way. Such soil as you describe will not retain fertility for any length of time, and it does not contain the neces- sary elements to make what plant foods you add assimilable. Hence, no matter what you may add, the plants will not thrive for any length of time. Cow manure, being the most complete plant food of all the natural manures, would be the best thing to put on your soil, and if you cannot secure it your chances for success are not bright. Rotted stable manure will, of course, help your soil to some extent, but not as much as the cow manure would, as it has a tendency to lighten the soil, and your soil is already too light for best results. It would be better to select those spots which are heavier and plant youi' carnations on those. A. F. J. B. OREEN APHIS. I am enclosing a leaf of a Boston fern and also of a carnation, which are both infested with bugs. As this is my first experience with them, I wish you would kindly suggest a remedy and also state the cause. The green bugs I first noticed when I had a shipment of cin- erarias. I tried tobacco fumes, but had poor results. As I am a beginner,. I shall greatly esteem your advice. E. M. L. The specimens forwarded seemed free from insects on arrival here. The green bugs which you mention in connection with the cinerarias are most likely the common green aphis. These are easily destroyed with tobacco fumes or by spraying with the nicotine extracts. "We prefer the latter, as being more effective and cleanly. Full directions are given with each can, so it is un- necessary to give directions here. Keep your carnations free from this pest, or you will have trouble in tho future "with stigmonose, which will de- stroy the vigor of your stock. In grow- ing carnations, as well as all other plants, you should use these insectieide& mildly right along as a preventive, rather than wait until the plants be- come infested and then use them in dou- ble doses to rid the plants of the pests.

Every recurring chrysanthemum sea- son brings some surprises to the grower and this year is no exception. Varie- ties that have been figured on to be in tiower by the first or second week in October will have a fit of capriciousness and not come in flower till some two weeks later, or the varieties generally classed as midseason to late will be in liower ahead of their time, and so the j^ame goes merrily on. No novelties seem to have been pre- sented before the committee to date, something that has not happened for a long while. My own seedlings and the varieties under test of the Wells-Pock- «'tt type are all late this year, and the first of the shows, opening October 25, have seen but little that is new pre- sented, so far as we are concerned. Pompons and single varieties are also easily ten days later than usual and the early shows are likely to suffer somewhat in consequence. Smith's Advance and XJnaka. In the newer commercial types, Smith's Advance has, all things con- sidered, made an excellent showing. It • ertainly is early. Our first flowers were cut from about the middle to the end of September. There has been some complaint about its buds refusing to swell, but that is only to be expected with such intense heat as we have ex- perienced this year. It is really against its natural character for a mum to flower so early as this variety will. A peculiar fact about Smith's Advance is that while it showed not the faintest trace of color with us, yet in England, both under glass and outdoors, it has shown a decided tendency to go pink. One would have thought that the cool- *!r atmosphere would have preserved its color and its original character, instead of which it seems to have acted the other way. To Unaka must be given the place of l^nor in early pinks, for size. A flower ready to cut October 1, with perfect stem and foliage, must be classed among the varieties that have come to stay. Mrs. Wm. Arnold. A white that has made a splendid showing and is apparently just now beginning to be appreciated at its true worth is Mrs. Wm. Arnold, a variety that I distributed in 1910. It leaves nothing to be desired in stem and foli- age, is a grand keeper and shipper and has been in the market in magnificent condition since October 1. At this sea- son it has been in direct competition with Beatrice May, and while some wonderful flowers of the latter have been seen in the market, Arnold will displace it, for it has a splendid habit and t^e foliage is fine, whereas Beatrice May, while a magnificent flower, is deli- cate and the foliage is almost invari- ably marked and disfigured. B. F. Felton and Chrysolora. Another of our 1910 introductions that seems to be coming into its own is R. F. Felton. This is the deepest possible shade of yellow and, in spite of the recent continuous rains and dirty weather, it has not showed the least sign of damping or spotting. This alone endears it to the heart of many growers who can not or will not take the time to use proper precautions when watering their plants when the ^^ AdTsrtlBe I^MUMS i^^m P^^ in Your KpF^ Local Papers ^ USE tl j Wi ^m * THIS CUT k Sant POSTPAID '\^ ^s^ on receipt of 75c B norists'roblishingCo. *v\l S08 8. Dearborn St. I'* CHICAGO weather is bad, and to keep the tem- perature exactly right. The new Chrysolora seems to be liv- ing up to its description, though some growers, myself included, took the bud too early and the flowers suffered in consequence, both in size and finish. Yellows are none too plentiful just at the time when Chrysolora is ready to cut and it certainly will find a wel- come. Last Tear's Exhibition Sorts. Coming now to the exhibition varie- ties of last year's introduction, the largest thing so far developed is F. E. Nash, a reflexed pink of enormous size, a shade early, perhaps, for some of the exhibitions, but one that certainly must be reckoned with in the future, by present indications. Mrs. G. C. Kelly is going to live up to the kind words of last year. I shall be surprised if the exhibition season does not show this variety in grand shape almost everywhere. The same thing applies to both Lady Carmichael and F. T. Quittenton, two of last year's novelties that are making a good show- ing. The former is white and the lat- ter crimson. They are today the strongest growers in the house and can not fail to render a good account of ' themselves. Wm. Turner will be somewhat late for the early shows, but there are pos- sibilities in this flower, from a commer- cial as well as exhibition standpoint, that will most likely be brought out this year. W. Wells says that Wm. Turner is a much better variety than Mrs. David Syme. There will be, ap- l^arently, a difference of some three weeks between them in flowering and they wiU not, therefore, conflict with each other, but I shall indeed be sur- prised if Turner does not go down into 1912 as one of the best, C.

The Market. ■ .-^i Last week seemed more in keeping with the season than any since the summer and in consequence there has been a general air of satisfaction. Sev- eral weddings of more than usual prom- inence, with house and church decora- tions, a number of large funerals and a few home and social functions have added to the bettered conditions. Mums are more plentiful and begin- ning to make their influence felt on other products. Boses are more abun- dant and carnsitions are of better quan- tity and quality. Prices remain about the same, with a slight reduction, if anything. Various Notes. The new Providence Wholesale Flow- er Market has finished its first week's existence with satisfactory results. It is confidently believed that as soon as the rough edges get smoothed oS. it will be the unanimous opinion that the market was just the thing that was wanted. The Bhode Island Horticulttiral So- ciety is showing the results of the change in officers and policies that went into effect last spring and the future is bright. At the regular monthly meeting, October 18, notwithstanding the steady down-pour of rain, there was a good attendance, including a lajge delegation from the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Bhode Island, headed by President Bobert Johnston and Vice-president Eugene Appleton. The speaker of the evening was W. N. Craig, of Boston, on bulbs. After his lecture, which was profusely illus- trated, he conducted an interesting question box. The monthly meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Bhode Island was held October 16, with a good at- tendance. A nominating committee was appointed to present a list of of- ficers for election at the November meeting. The society is to participate with the Bhode Island Horticultural Society in the show November 4 and 5. It is also to join with the state society in a series of lectures during the com- ing winter. Thomas Boland, of Westerly, is send- ing some fine mums to the Boston mar- ket. Timothy O'Connor furnished the dec- orations for the wedding of ex-Gover- nor Charles Dean Kimball 's daughter If^t week. Joseph Kinder, of Bristol, spent last week in his camp on Prudence Island, in Narragansett bay. Thomas T. Booth, at t^e Hill View Greenhouses, Manville, has a fine show- ing of mums and carnations. John G. Gardner, formerly in the greenhouses on the estate of James J. Van Allen, at Newport, has accepted a position in an orchid establishment at Los Angeles, Gal. Johnston Bros, ^ad the decorations for the Burlingame wedding last week. William Hay is preparing to install a five horse-power electric QLOtOj^^Jfor pumpi]|g purposes.* ^^ ' MisTDrtui^s never come singly, and Nathan D. Pierce, of Norwood, can tes- tify to this from his own experience of last jyeek. His foot was injured by the falling of a heavy board upon it; a val- uable horse died and the boiler in his greenhouse gave out. The Home Nursery Co., at Norwood, has begun the erection of 'two new houses, 25x200 and 28x118. W. H. M. CINOINNATI. The Gateway to the South. The market is in a rather peculiar position. - Judging from appearances, there is more than enough stock to fill orders, but when the buyer wants a cer- tain flower and wants it in a hurry, then perhaps he must wait for the next shipment. Last week Estelle mums were the one great drag. While many were sold, the supply was so large that the price was hammered to the bottom. The returns from other varieties also suffered. With this large supply the regular arrivals of dahlias, cosmos and even asters and gladioli continue, and it is fortunate that we have the busi- ness that we have or a larger super- fluity of supply might be apparent. In roses the early part of last week Beauties were more than adequate, but now they sell up every day. Other sorts now clean up well. The carnation cut locally is long on good white, an oc- currence that is more or less of a rarity here. The shades that were af- fected by the hot weather have been getting better each day, until now they are first-class. As to other lines, lilies are not in large supply, but are of good quality. Both double and single violets are com- ing in stronger and fire in demand for corsages. Valley cleans up regularly. Orchids also enjoy a steady demand, lu greens, the ferns are good and the samo is true of the plumosus from the soutl . Club Meeting. ~ At a special meeting of the Florists Club October 23, the entertainment com mittee, composed of C. E. Critchell, I . J. dinger and! Chayles fr. Hoffmeistei submitted vari(Ms J^lans for entertain ment?' of visiting ^orists during th' shdw in November. The club a^Mseptec the proposition of the Bismarck Cafe 'fhe entire rathskeller at that place ^ili be given over to the fiorists for a large Dutch lunch and smoker Thursday, No vember 16, at 8 p. m. The executive committee of the flower show reported that another sil ver cup had been donated By the Sefton Mfg. Co. The committee placed it on the table decorations. All the cups will be placed on exhibition in a few days in a prominent downtown window. All the details of the • exhibition have been arranged^ Any firms wishing dis- play space should write Wm. Murphy, 309 Main street. Various Notes. • J. A. Peterson, who recently returned from Europe, brought with him plants of Nephrolepis exaltata superba, Cyrto- mium Bochf ordianum and new begonias from Kiev. B. W. Peterson left Octo- ber 23 for a business trip through the middle west and Washin^on. October 21 a burglar stole the tele- phone cable which Hield the wires to C. E. Critchell's' and the-Oincinnati Cut Flower Exchange... E. G. Gillett's wire factory is being taxed to the limit to keep up with orders. -It is with the greatest regret that we tell of the death of Mr. and Mrs. Bay Murphy's infant daughter, Evelyn Buth, October 24. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has its salesrooms in first-class shape. Last week they received their stock of supplies. Albert llcCullough is now catting some excellent valley at his private con- servatories. • .• Charles Pfeiffer is spending a few weeks in hunting at Bliss^ Idaho. Some of A. Sunderbruch 'e Sons' plants had a warm time October ^S. They were caught in the fire that de- stroyed the A. B. Closson Co. art store. C. E. Critchell now has more ferns in storage than he has had any pre- vious year. L. H. Kyrk has built a row of tables that he can raise and lower on hinges, so that he can have more space at his command during the rush hours in the morning. Visitors: E. J.

Deacon Norton, subject to claims of about $5,500, which was more than the land was worth at that time, twenty-eight years ago. Mr. Norton is now reputed to be worth $60,000 or $70,000 and made most of it in garden- ing and small fruits. If the sale of his greenhouses and garden goes through he will devote himself to his other property interests. 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEB 26, 1911. THE FLORISTS' REVffiW O. L.

Now is the time to dispose of your surplus stock plants of chrysanthe- mums. The newer varieties will sell well if offered in The Review. Cosmos Lady Lenox, introduced a few years ago by Arthur T. Boddington, New York, has been giving a splendid ac- count of itself the last few weeks. Isn't it just possible that silver cups have become so common as flower show prizes that they no longer possess adver- tising value either for winner or donor? Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. Quite a few plant shippers think they pack well, whose customers know better. Packing is something of an art and, like other arts, is not to be mastered without painstaking effort. It is understood that Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, has ceased to import azaleas, finding the line one that did not return a profit proportionate to the diffi- culty of giving satisfaction to the cus- tomers. It is reported that the com- pany's azalea importations had grown to be 350,000 plants. CANADIAN CUT FLOWERS. The imports of cut flowers from Can- ada are insignificant, yet they are in- creasing. Here are the total values for the last three years: 1908 12,192 1909 3,721 1910 4,308 OBITUABT. Mrs. If. Peel. Mrs. Letitia Peel, who for twenty-six years had conducted a florist's estab- lishment on Old Lawrence street, Flush- ing, N. Y., died at her home October 12, after an illness of several weeks. She was 78 years old. Her husband died a number of years ago. She is survived by four children. Mrs. C. A. Lesure. Lillian Jarvis Lesure, wife of Clyde A. Lesure, florist at Fitchburg, Mass., died October 19. She was only 29 years of age, a native of Troy, N. Y. She was highly educated and an ex- tremely popular member of the com- munity. Charles A. Fox, Charles A. Fox, one of the pioneer florists of Baltimore, Md., died Satur- day afternoon, October 14, at his home, 1202 Bolton street. He was born in Baltimore eighty years ago. For the last half century he had conducted a flower store at Bolton and Dolphin streets, and at the time of his death he was known as one of the forettiost horticulturists in Baltimore. He is sur- vived by a widow, Mrs. Eliza Fox, three daughters. Misses Margaret, Jane and Nellie Fox, and two sons, William J. and Charles A. Fox. WAENINO! Don't Pay Money to Strangen. The Review has received several com- plaints that "a smooth-talking young fellow" has been falsely representing himself as working for The Review and soliciting new subscriptions or renewals in its name, frequently at a cut rate or with the promise of a premium, which in itself should be enough to arouse suspicion. If a receipt is given it never is on printed blanks, some- times bears no name or address,^ but in one case was signed "H. Hunter," and in the latest instance was signed A. H. Kellogg. Never pay money to strangers for The Review. Our representatives all are well known members of tlia trade in their respective localities. A SATISFIED CT73TOMEB. Just as "a satisfied customer is the best advertisement," according to the old saying, so is a satisfied advertiser the best customer — of a trade paper — for he keeps buying space regularly, tells others and by his precept adds to the paper's business: Please stop my cyclamen ad; I am compelled to refuse orders. — Chas. A. Moss, Spartanburg, S. a, October 17, 19H. I sold all my stock tbroagh the advertisement the rery next day after It appeared. — Herman W Kropp, Columbus, O., October 16, 1811. CHICAOO. The Great Central Market. It is the general report that last week's business was heavier than for the corresponding period of 1910, the gain being the first this market has been able to report in more than two months. The present week started off at a brisk pace and there is sufficient business in sight for the latter part of the month to insure at least a fair degree of activity for some days to come. The All Saints' day shipments to the south go out the latter part of this week, but this business does not now cut the large figure it did a few years ago. One of the reasons for this, and probably the principal one, is that the south now grows a big crop of chrysanthemums for this date, though another factor is that several of the Chicago wholesalers have had disagreeable experiences with these far southern shipments and now limit their business in that territory to selected buyers of proved credit and known business standing. Some of these buyers are taking good lots of stock October 27 to 30. Supplies have shortened in the last week in practically every item except chrysanthemums. Quite a few growers report their large, midseason varieties as being from one to two weeks behind the usual date for marketing, but there are, nevertheless, large supplies now on , hand, though the greater part of the stock goes into the medium and small grades. Really first-class chrysanthe- mums are selling well and the prices ./ OCIOBBB 26, 191X. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 23 MUMS!! The Season is in Full Swing. We are right in the midst of the Mums — such varieties as Halliday, Touset, Early Snow, Pacific Supreme, J. K. Shaw, Crocus — ^^the best midseason whites, pinks and yellows.

Pompons are now available in considerable quantity and sell well locally; ship- ping is light on these. Last week's heavy crops of Beau- ties were curtailed with unexpected suddenness and it is said that some of those retailers who had advertised cheap sales found difficulty in getting the stock at a price that would afford a profit. Short roses are extremely scarce; but, though the demand is good, other roses are so nearly equal to re- quirements that there has not as yet been much advance in price. Killarney and White Killarney and, to a lesser extent, Eichmond, are about the only roses now available in quantity, the novelties being in extremely light sup- ply. The special grades of Killarneys include stock of the exhibition char- acter and sales are reported of limited quantities as high as 15 cents. The cuts of carnations have been reduced and prices are making further progress up the scale^ Violets are much more plentiful and of improved qual- ity; also, they are selling better than heretofore. The demand for cattleyas is such that large receipts no more than suffice for the orders and good prices are obtained for all good stock. Easter lilies and' valley are abundant. Dahlias have been coming in considerable quan- tity, for the first frost held off until October 23. The cosmos has been espe- cially good. There is an abundance of everything in the line of green goods. Various Notes. C. W. Johnson, who is in charge of the flower show that is to be a feature of the club meeting November 2, makes the following announcement: "All flowers for the novelty exhibi- tion of the Chicago Florists' Club should be shipped express prepaid to A. T. Pyfer, secretary, 30 East Ran- dolph street, Chicago, HI., to arrive by the afternoon of Thursday, November John P. Risdh went to Evanston October 22 to have a look at a crop of daisies in the greenhouses of Wei- land & Bisch that he thinks will be heard from a little later. D. E. Freres says that trade now is making up for its summer dullness. Frank Ayers, right-hand man for C. W, McKellar, leaves October 26 for another of his trips to Texas, this time for an indefinite stay. At A. L. Randall's, Frank Johnson says the scope of the cut flower busi- ness in this market is well indicated by the fact that one mail Monday brought inquiries regarding standing orders from points as far away as Texas and the state of Washington. Frank Felke, of Wilmette, says he will begin to cut Bonnaffon chrysanthe- mum by the end of the week. H. A. Fisher Co., Kalamazoo, will have the formal opening of its new store October 28. C. M. Dickinson is again at his desk at E. H. Hunt's, fully recovered from his recent illness. O. W. Frese reports many inquiries and quite a few orders for New Or- leans shipments the latter part of this week. He says that what the trade there wants is Maid and Bride, Winsor and White Lawson — give them these and there will be no trouble. At J. A.

John Kruchten points with pride to the chrysanthemums and carnations from his father's place. Peter Beinberg is cutting Ward and Melody roses in limited quantity. Tim Matchen says he will have a crop of White Killamey in about three weeks, in the houses hit by the recent cyclone. Wietor Bros, have seventy-five cars of Castner, Curran & Bullitj^'s Poca- hontas coal in their bins — no hand-to- mouth business there. A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna- tion Co., comments on the number of advance orders booked in the last few days. At Zech & Mann's, John Zech is im- patient for the new crop of Bride and Maid. He says there are many buyers who prefer them. A. Miller, of Henderson & Co., is having a successful trip in Michigan. A. C. Spencer, at Kyle & Foerster's, says he thoroughly enjoys the work of the wholesale house after spending over a year at retailing. Bassett & Washburn have word from Pasadena that O, P.

Pieser, president of the company, as slowly sinking. George Pieser, the son, who is with the E. F. Winterson Co., says he now is delirious most of the time. Sydney B. Wertheimer and Sam Seligman have been in town this week. Mr. Seligman says that a report that he no longer is with Wertheimer Bros. is entirely unfounded.

Bloy, Fred Pautke, Frank Danzer, J. F. Sullivan and Hugo Schroeter was appointed to pay regu- lar visits to Albert Stahelin's green- houses and report on the condition and progress of the carnations in the mova- ble houses. Mr. Stahelin is also to act as one of this committee. His plants at present are in the pink of condition. Hugo Schroeter, chairman of the pro- gram committee, read an outline of the season's programs as prepared by his committee. The secretary read a re- port of the meeting held Thursday, October 12, when Messrs. Hammond, Baur, Dorner and Farenwald were in Detroit to complete arrangements for the convention. This convention will be in reality a rose and carnation show, staged by the Rose and Carnation So- cieties and held under the auspices of the Detroit Florists' Club. An admis- sion fee of 25 cents will be charged, and the gross receipts will be divided as follows: One-half to the Florists' Club, one-fourth to the Rose Society and one-fourth to the Carnation So- ciety. Each society is to provide its own premium funds and the local club will pay the hall rent, advertising, etc. William Dilger has been appointed gen- eral manager of the show and all com- munications should be addressed to him at 38 Broadway. Frank Danzer reported on the fall show, to be held November 14 and 15, and a preliminary premium list was read. A liberal sum has been donated for premiums, in addition to a number of silver cups, offered by interested parties. Various Notes. An immense Boston fern, which has been hanging in W. B. Brown's store window for several years, has now become a regular feature and Mr. Brown is taking advantage of its at- tractiveness by styling his store "At the Sign of the Fern."

Fetters in his last report, when he stated that the name of the street on which his store is located had been changed to Library avenue. It was Farrer and not Farmer street which was renamed and Mr. Fet- ters' address is still 114 Farmer street. B. Schroeter opened his beautiful new store, at 56 Broadway, Tuesday, October 24.

Business in this city is not quite as it should be, according to some of our leading retailers, who say that if fu- neral work were removed trade would be exceedingly dull. The weather is somewhat colder and we are all look- ing for a better demand in all lines. There is no social work of note, except for the horse show next week, which will wake up the call for fancy mums and American Beauties. The wholesalers were fairly well sup- plied last week with stock of quite good quality. Roses are coming in fine shape and the markets have had some extra specials in Killarney, Richmond, Maryland and extra long Beauties. The bulk of the stock, however, is in the lesser grades. Carnations have been in large demand in all varieties. Mums are coming in more freely and some really high-class blooms are seen. Cali- fornia violets are improving in stem and color, and cosmos, dahlias, lilies, extra good valley and fine long smilax are in abundance. Various Notes. The executive committee of the St. Louis Horticultural Society held a meeting October 17, and arrangements were completed for the coming fall show, which is expected to be better and larger than any previously given. The show will be opened November 11 and continue for five days. George B. Windier has a fine lot of pot chrysanthemums and other bloom- ing plants, which are handled by the local trade. The J. F.

Mention The Revltw when you write PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. The week ending October 25 showed no improvement over the one preceding. It rained Thursday, October 19. The rain continued Friday and, worst of all, it rained more Saturday. The weather man prophesied rain Monday, but the weather man was wrong. There is a limit, fortunately, even to rain. Better weather proved a help, but the market is in bad shape. There is such an oversupply that some of the whole- salers found it necessary to stop the shipments of dahlias, while others noti- fied their dahlia growers that with other flowers so abundant and so cheap there was little chance of the dahlias bringing satisfactory returns. The chrysanthemum is the flower of the day. Orders are filled by the dozen, by the hundred, by the thousand, and still there are plenty left. Yellow is the only color that is not in excess of the demand, for Monrovia is not up to the market requirements, while Halli- day is not plentiful. Cremo helps nice- ly. Virginia Poehlmann and Ivory have been added to the whites. Mrs. Hurley is a pleasing bronze and Garcia a lovely pink of single or semi-double type. Pompons sell fairly, but the small, usually outdoor or frame-grown stock of the bigger sorts goes poorly. The Pacific family is fine, but too plentiful. The Beauty crop has shortened, but other roses are fearfully abundant, white more so than pink, while Rich- mond is not in favor. Carnations have suflferetb sadly. Nobody seems to want them with chrysanthemums so cheap, at least not in any sort of proportion to the supply. "Valley and sweet peas «ell fairly, but everything else is un- 'satisfactory. There is lots of business, both in and out of town. The buyers are critical. Only the best will do un- less the price is extremely low. The Shop Windows. H. H.

Robert Kift's little baskettes filled with dahlias, roses and larkspur, at an attractive price, were tempting to the promenaders. Many passers-by stopped to gaze at the window of Pennock Bros. You know they have Japanese wicker bas- kets and hampers imported direct by themselves; the long wait before their arrival is repaid by their individuality.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 81 An Unprecedented Array of Choice Roses Never before in the history of the commercial cut flower business have we been able to oflFer so much variety in Roses as we are doing at present. The three or four standard sorts of a few years ago have been supplemented by eight or nine new ones that are good all the year round, and commer- cially possible from the grower's "bread-and-butter" standpoint, so that the retailer has now no cause to complain of lack of variety to offer his customers.

After a week of continuous rain the sun is shining. The market all the week was as gloomy as the weather, and the wholesale section was covered with a blue blanket.' Prices tumbled as the week advanced and Saturday many a cartload of the accumulation went to the dumping ground or the river, dahlias predominating. Many of these became unsalable at any price. The finest of the cactus type and thou- sands of the selected stock could not rise above $10 per thousand. Sunday boxes, unopened, were selling at from 25 to 50 cents each. The chrysanthemum now dominates the market and already small and infe- rior stock is coming in bunches. In comparison with this, there is also ar- riving some of the finest stock ever seen in New York. Prices range from 10 cents a bunch to 50 cents a flower, and one can imagine the immense quan- tity and variety between these extreme values. Some grand blooms sold Satur- day; as I6w as .$1.50 per dozen. Now that the fall shows are about to begin, :the finest stock will go to the exhibi- tions and the new varieties will be scarce and higher in the New York market. As usual while the mum sits upon its throne, roses and carnations have been hardly steady and the tendency is downward. There was no scarcity of any variety of rose, and in large clean- ups summer prices prevailed. In proof of this the department stores were ad- vertising them at the week 's end as low as 10 cents a dozen. The new kinds come only in limited numbers and sell rapidly. Carnations went all to pieces by Saturday. Splendid stock sold as low as $10 per thousand. In small lots 2 cents was the top price. There is little prospect of immediate improve- ment. Valley holds Trell, for the Oc- tober weddings are numerous and the brides' bouquets are largely valley and orchids. The offerings of the latter are abundant and prices remain barely steady. The oncidium is in wide de- mand for window decoration. Lilies are lower. There are still tritomas in abundance, and pansies, bouvardia, cos- mos, etc. The finest cosmos ever seen in this market goes a-begging. Violets had a blue week; no sunshine, little de- mand, many of the arrivals colorless and scentless, prices down to 40 cents for the large bunches of selected flowers. ^ Maybe the sunshine will make every- thing this week look brighter. Various Notes. The great flower show at Madison opens October 26. From that date on to the middle of November there will be one continuous performance in which New York and all outlying horti- cultural societies will play their parts. Unfortunately, many of the shows over- lap and every one of them will be worthy of attendance. The annual show of the American In- stitute begins November 1, and Novem- ber 7 the exhibition of the Horticul- tural Society of New York closes at the Museum of Natural History. This makes a full week of bloom and beauty for the metropolis.

Among the exhibits of special in^ terest to the trade were those of Lager & Hurrell, who received a first-class certificate for a collection of orchids and an award of 94 points on an orchid plant. First-class certificates were also awarded to Joseph A. Manda, of West Orange, for a collection of orchids, and to William Tricker, of Arlington, for a collection of roses.

C. SUBSTITUTE FOR LATH HOUSE. The Review of September 28 con- tained the following inquiry from A. v., a resident of a Pacific coast state: "In some parts of our town the build- ing of wooden structures is not per- mitted, on account of the danger of fire. This keeps me from putting up a lath house that 1 need for my plants. Do you know of a structure, made of ma- terial that is not combustible and at the same time not too expensive, that would answer the purpose of an ordinary lath house f A reply from any reader would greatly oblige." In reply to this inquiry, I wish to offer the following suggestion: I know of no non-combustible material that would really take the place of the lath, bnt it seems to me a fairly good house for the purpose could be built by using pipes for the framework, setting the pipes about ten feet apart, in concrete. Any old 1%-inch pipe would do for supports, while 1-inch would be suf- ficiently strong for the cross pieces on top. Then the whole frame could be covered with wire netting, say 1%- inch or 2-inch mesh. By planting fast- growing vines all around the sides and ends, sufficient shade should be obtained the first summer. Humulus Lupulus, the common hop vine, for instance, is a fast grower and well adapted for use any- where on the Pacific coast. It would drop its foliage in autumn just at the time when heavy shade would no longer be needed. Evergreen vines are slow growers, as a rule, and might prove detrimental during the winter months.

Otherwise, the ♦'xcess of holidays is having a dampen- ing effect on the flower buyers and business is not as good as it was one year ago by twenty-five per cent. In the face of the bustle and excitement that San Francisco is undergoing, this might seem to be farfetched, but it is nevertheless a fact and there is not a dealer in town but would like to see everything take its normal channel again, and have the public realize that 3i-a>,.; ,t>* ■ .« ■ .'liiJV^, ^joT^ D. r.

Hotel Fairmount, San Francisco. A. M. Eaton, the Woodland, Cal.,. nurseryman, is in town for a few days. Domoto Bros, are building an exhibi- tion plant house, 33x236 feet, at their Elmhurst establishment. All reports point to a heavy crop of outside grown poinsettias for the com- ing winter trade. The regular meeting of the California Betail Florists' Association was held in Eagles' hall, Wednesday evening, October 18. The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- ciety is planning an outdoor meeting at the grounds of the MacBorie-McLaren Co. next month. J. F. Kogeler, well known to the gar- dening fraternity here, has been ap- pointed superintendent of the Alex- ander place at Piedmont. G. Vegetable Forcing. CUCUMBEBS AND TOMATOES. We have one greenhouse, 28x160, which is planted to mums, and after they are gone we will run the house to radishes until late spring, when we ex- pect to plant it to cucumbers, which will be started in 5-inch or 6-inch pots. We also have two houses, one of them 28x160 and the other 40x160, which will be used for lettuce during the winter, after which they will be planted to tomatoes for an early summer crop. Will you please give me a little in- formation as to what variety of cu- cumbers will be best suited for such forcing? Please state, also, when the seed should be planted so as to have good, strong plants in 5-inch or 6-inch pots at setting-out time, which will be about April 1. I also intend to build a house, 45x100, for growing roses, but will use it for tomatoes or cucumbers this winter, and I had thought of growing them on the ground instead of on raised benches, which will not be built until next spring. I have had a little experience with forcing tomatoes, but none with cucumbers, so I wish to know the easi- est variety of the latter to manage. Any information will be greatly appre- ciated. My location is northern Wyo- ming. L. M. B. The Davis Perfect forcing cucumber is giving satisfaction with a great many cucumber growers. It is a long variety, prolific, and easy to grow. The best strains of Improved White Spine are, however, more prolific, although harder to grow; that is, they require careful attention on the part of the grower. All seedsmen have their special name for their best strain of Improved White Spine forcing cucumber. The Boston type of Improved Arlington White Spine forcing -is grown more than all others, and is probably the best money- maker. In the spring you will find solid beds as good as raised beds, or better, for vegetables. Spade in a good coat of manure and plant your cuke seed five weeks before your plants are wanted, ^ ready to bench from 5-inch and 6-inch pots. H. G. Bellingham, Wash. — J. W.

The wind has steadily per- sisted in the east or northeast, and each day has seen more or less rain. These conditions have shortened up supplies of cut flowers, although at the same time the climatic conditions have restricted retail trade. Still the mar- ket has cleaned up quite well, particu- larly so October 21. Chrysanthemums are now the leading flowers. There are not many additional sorts arriving as compared with the previous week, but the quality is a little better. Pacific Supreme leads as a pink. Edmond Albe does not take well. Roses are in good supply, with little change in prices. The quality is excellent. Carnations are selling particularly well. A year ago street peddlers were selling great quantities of both these and roses, but so far prices are above them. A few days of sun, however, will cause a glut. Violets for so early are of extra fine quality and quite abundant. Some dahlias still arrive. Frost has not vis- ited some growers at all yet. Cosmos sells only moderately. Pink snapdragon is popular if of the correct shade. Lilies and valley are each in good sup- ply. Some nice Bouvardia Humboldtii is coming in, and among orchids there Colorado Springs, Colo.

GuSTAV SCHOTT, Aschaflfenburg, Ba- varia, grower and exporter of natural grass seeds, now is represented in Amer- ica by McHutchison & Co., New York, The Yokohama Nursery Co. reports that September 4, via Steamship Panama, it received 254 cases of bulbs for Chi- cago, 457 cases for New York, and on August 29, via Steamship Awai, 925 cases for New York, and 586 cases for Chi- cago, making an addition of 2,222 cases to those already reported. Bouquet Green is firm in price. First hands in Wisconsin are holding stiff at a price that makes jobbers demand 7 to 8 cents. Open weather may result in a larger supply than now is anticipated, but an early snow and freeze would cause a big shortage and a jump in prices. Prooably never again will green sell at the figures of a few years ago. THE SEED SHOSTAQE, In an open letter to the trade, sent out October 16, W.

To illustrate how difficult it is this year to know the product of different crops, we need only name sweet peas. During the past summer we made two trips to California, and while allowing for a short growth of vine and other • conditions affecting the crops, have been greatly disappointed in the actual yields thus far obtained — in many cases falling far below what we considered conservative estimates. "We have been constantly on the alert throughout the summer and fall, having traveled more than 30,000 miles in America and Europe to inspect grow- ing crops. Although supplies of many seeds are now bo extremely short, yet it is a pleasure to note each succeeding year that planters and dealers seem to consider more and more quality rather than price." THE WOBLD'S SEED CBOPS. In its issue of October 14, the Gar- deners' Chronicle, London, prints the following summary of the world's seed crops: "Peas. — Peas are very deficient in all countries, and are likely to be at famine prices. The crop is a very dis- appointing one; in fact, one of the worst in living memory, many crops producing not more, and in some cases less, than the seed sown. The demand is far in excess of the supply both at home and abroad.

The seeds will probably prove to be very small and somewhat light, but of good quality. "Carrots. — The crops of carrot seed are very light indeed. The roots, hav- ing suffered from the wet season of last year, kept badly through the win- ter, and the drought during the sum- mer completed the undoing of this crop. Consequently the prices rule very high. * ' Onions. — The remarks on carrots ap- ply equally to onions, and the outlook for these two important vegetables is anything but a rosy one, plants and bulbs being very scarce indeed. ' ' Mangolds. — Although these gave promise of a fairly good crop at one time — in the early stages — being more robust growers than beets and more able to withstand drought, yet before the plants developed seed the black fly appeared, and gradually smothered most of the plantations, stopped the growth of the seed, and killed many of the plants. Hence the yield will prove to be less than for many years. * * Lettuces.-^These are not so bad gen- erally as some vegetable seeds. The plants in some places have suffered se- verely, but where they have stood, the yield may be put probably at not much more than half a crop. * * Badishes. — The continental crops of radish seeds are extremely poor, and in England, although somewhat better, they are yielding badly. The promise was good, and plantations looked like yielding well from the appearance of the pods, but none contains more than a few seeds, and many pods are quite empty. The yield barely comes up to half what was expected. "Flower Seeds. — Flower seeds have fared, as a rule, somewhat better than vegetable seeds, and in a very few cases the plants have produced good crops. In many instances they have suffered considerably, and have yielded little or no seed, asters being among the worst failures. Sweet peas are also a very moderate crop, although the quality of the seed is considerably bet- ter than in the last two years. Nas- turtiums suffered from the great heat, with the result that the crop is a very light one. . Many perennials and bien- nials have suffered severely, such as Canterbury bells, myosotis and others, and the crops are deficient, whilst the AZALEAS ARE IN.

Prudence is of more fre- quent use than any other intellectual quality ; it pro- duces vigilance rather than elevation, rather prevents loss than procures advan- tages, and keeps a man on the safe side, inducing him to make a permanent invest- ment rather than a temporary speculation. A man need not be a miser to be prudent— a prudent man is one who is thoughtful and has the abil- ity to foresee what is sensible and then follow his own con- clusions. Especially should a man be prudent in buying lily bulbs, because it costs no more to force good bulbs than inferior ones, and since the real profit is not on the bulbs themselves but on the prolific qualities of the bulbs, how costly inferior bulbs actually are must be manifest to all who think. The best lily bulbs you can buy are none too good, being a product of nature and sub- ject to nature's whims; so buy the best you can get and you will be doing all mortal man can do toward success.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow- ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground it thor- oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bmbs are planted no fresh manure is used; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves littfe to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk and when this is disposed of we ^all have no more to offer. While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lot%_ 175.00 per 1000 "'^ FERNS ,1«v..

M following each other, the two first with excess of rain and cold and the last spoiled by excess of heat and lack of rain, it may well be wondered what may be the result of next season should the summer of 1912 unfortunately prove to be unfavorable for the pro- duction of seeds.

This new Hydrangea is without question the grandest shrub or plant of any kind for forcing that is in existence today. This statement will admit of no controversy. To show how easily it can be lyought into flower, a neighbor florist, just start- ing in the business, without any previous knowledge on forcing plants, having never forced a single plant of any kind, potted 500 field plants the 20th of October, plung- ing them in a cold frame. Nine weeks be- fore Easter part of them were brought in and kept at a night temperature of 40 to 45 degrees; during the day the temperaturo would run from 50 to 60 degrees. They were in full flower for Easter. The balance of the plants were brought in the 20th of March and kept about the same temperature. The firtt blopm per- fected the 12th of May, and the Idt wa» in full bloom for Decoration day and — What a. sight! ,, Enough to warm the cockles in the heart of any florist. Everyone who saw them could but wonder. The plants on which the canes were . allowed to remain, when brought in, threw out branches a foot to 15 inches in length with a bloom on every tip. On those that were cut back to within four inches of the pot, the eyes broke near the base of the plant, throwing up from five to eight canes three feet high, with blooms of the purest snow white that were a foot in diameter. The lasting qualities of its flowers are one of its great money making points, as the blooms last in perfect condition from two to three weeks. The best flowers were produced from cut back plants, potted in heavy soil without a fertilizer. Where stimulants were used, the tendency was towards a weak neck that would not hold the mammoth bloom upright. It is imperative, to get the best results, that the plants should be subjected to hard freezing before bringing into the heat.

Good roses in pink and white are plentiful and some bargain sales were made last week to clean up. Carnations are of a better quality and find a ready sale. Orchids in quantity are coming in daily, mostly Cattleya labiata. Some elegant Touset, Halliday, Pacific Supreme and Early Snow chrysanthemums were noted. Pompons, yellow and white, put in their appearance in the latter part of last week. Various Notes. The annual election was held at the last meeting of the Florists' Club and resulted as follows: President, Adam Graham; first vice-president, Charles Schmitt; second vice-president, A. L. Brown; secretary, Frank A. Friedley; treasurer, Charles £. Bussell. Louis Merkel, of Mentor, called on the growers here last week. Frank A. Friedley is back on the job at the greenhouses of J. M. Gasser Co., after being laid up a month with blood poisoning resulting from a rusty nail in the foot. Knoble Bros, held special rose sales last week, advertising "Killarneys, two and one-half dozen for $1 at the store, or one dozen for $1 delivered." They disposed of several thousand roses a day. George Bate, of the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., says he is going to steer a quiet (?) little crowd down Akron way, on Turkey Foot lake, on a duck hunt the last of this month. Those are great ducks down at their camp. You use red, white and blue "shot," each color having a different value. There always are fifty-two "ducks" in a "flock," twenty-six black and twenty-six red. They are mixed up generally, but frequently fly in "pairs." Sometimes "three of a kind" are seen together and — but unlucky is the man who "sees" "fours." Oc- casionally you can "flush" a covey of five.

D. BALL, Hoimesborj, Philadelphia ^jg^ Mentloi^ The Review when you write COLUMBUS, O. The Market. Trade has i improved considerably since last writing and there is plenty of stock on the market. Mums are coming in heavily and the demand so far has cleaned up everything in sight, and some of the early ones are all cut out. Roses are quite plentiful and quality is extra good. Killarney are about the best of all at the present time, but Mrs. "Ward is doing well and th« demand is heavy on this variety. Carnations are in good supply, with the demand heavy. Beauties have been quite scarce and the demand rather light since mums came in. There has been a great deal of funeral work, which has used up lots of stock. The cold nights we are having now will have a tendency to create more of a demand. Last Monday morning we had the first killing frost of the season, but stock that was in sheltered places was not hurt in the least; however, it will not be long now until there will be no outdoor stock, and this will make the demand on greenhouse stock heavy from now on. Various Notes. — Sherman Stephens reports business rushing. He is cutting some good mums at present. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- ting heavily on mums, roses and carna- tions, and is cleaning up everything as it comes in. C. A. Roth reports good business, especially in design work. The Livingston Seed Co. had a win- dow of dahlias, Saturday, October 21, that was a grand sight. It was an ele- gant assortment and attracted a great deal of attention. J. M.

Mention The Review when you write. MIAMI, FLA. J. W. Warner, of the Miami Floral Co., reports that the firm is now en- gaged in carrying out a contract for planting about 8,000 young trees, con- (■isting of Australian pines and hibiscus, to be set alternately along the streets of the Everglade Land Sales Co. 's addi- tion to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., a flour- ishing town about twenty-five miles north of this city. This is one of the biggest undertakings of the kind to be attempted in the state, as fifteen miles of streets, which are all paved as well, are being set on both sides methodically with handsome shade trees, inter- mingled with the beautiful ever-bloom- ing red hibiscus. Hence the Miami Floral Co. naturally feels some degree of pride in the handling of such a contract. After the completion of this part of the work, the firm will have charge of the plant's for a year or longer, and ex- pects to make the Gateway to the Ever- glades, as Fort Lauderdale is some- times called, really the show spot of the beautiful east coast.

Otto, Jr., is tak- ing up an agricultural course and the second son, who is expected to succeed to the business, will take up a horti- cultural course at Cornell.

The Market. Cloudy weather has shortened the supply of roses and the market is feel- ing the good effects. Chrysanthemums are so plentiful that the demand for Easter lilies has been reduced to a minimum, although the lilies are par- ticularly good. Dahlias are fine and also cheap. In fact, they are so cheap that some growers are not sending any to market on account of the difficulty of getting enough money out of theni* to pay for the trouble. 6o8mo»%l80 is fine and plentiful, but it is an absolute drug on the market. Cattleyas are moving well. Mums are abundant. Greens are finding considerable demand in small lots. Autumn leaves are dis- played in many windows. , The rose market is about the same as last week. Beauties are going very well and other roses are moving. In fact, business is perceptibly better than it was last week, and while retailers are still watching keenly for frost, they are not reduced to dependence on it for trade. Various Notes. W. Marche has ordered an automo- bile delivery wagon. His business has been most satisfactory of late. Everyone at Blackistone 's was too busy to talk October 23, being engaged on large funeral pieces. The store is somewhat cluttered up now, but when the alterations are finished it is going to be a real show place. Ma Black- istone has just ordered his second auto for deliveries. ^'Business is much better and stock is fine," was the word at Pennock-Mee- han's, and they were too busy to say much more this week. "Prospects are excellent, and pres- ent trade is good," said Mr. Schell, at the Florists' Exchange. "Dealers in general seem to be busy and satisfied," be added. ) Julius Dilloff, representing Schloss Bros., New York, was here last week. Gade Bros. Co. is furnishing the trade with some fine Beauties and other roses. They had the contract this week to decorate the department store of S. Kann Sons & Co., which is cele- brating an anniversary. Kramer always manages to have an attractive window, and his store usual* ly looks like an ice cream soda parlor on a hot day — filled with buyers. P. J. D. Danville, Pa.— E. J. Le Due has put up a new house, 70x150. He has 14,000 carnation plants under glass this sea- son. VIOLETS PRINCESS OF WALES, Field-grown, clean, $6.00 per 100.

HOLTON ft HUNKEL CO., 462 Milwaukee St., Milwaukee, Wis. Kentlon The Kf view when you write NEW BEDFORD, MASS. The Market. Trade was rather quiet last week, although flowers seem to be m'ore plen- tiful. Carnations are better and have longer stems, and mums are in good shape. Violets are in now, but we need some cooler weather to make them real- ly good stock. Snapdragons in many colors are coming in and a few gladioli that were planted late are found useful in funeral work. There are plenty of outdoor flowers, as we have had no severe weather yet, and they are used in bouquets, etc. Last week was decidedly disagree- able, with lots of rain, and in conse- quence flowers do not open quickly. Funeral work has been good and plants, particularly decorative, sell well at fairly good prices. Bulbs are also sell- ing well, but a sharp frost would help to liven up things in general. Various Notes. A street faker appeared last Satur- day with a big array of roses and car- nations. He sold them cheaply, al- though they seemed of fair quality — not the usual sleepy stock one sees. The stores are making nice window displays. W. L. Hammond, Ind. — L. E. Klemm has just finished two more greenhouses, for which he used Moninger material. The hydrangea is one of his specialties, and one with which he always has had excep- tional success. Mr. Klemm 's youngest SOB, Budolph, appears to inherit his father 's love for the business. 20^° OFF FOR 30 DAYS We need room for young stock. This is a Strictly Casli Proposition.

Win. PANSieS. PANSY PARK PERFECTION is the most thor- oughbred strain of giant show and fancy pansies, the flowers of largest size and most perfect form. I have made growing of pansy seeds and plants a specialty for nearly 40 years and it is the result of many years of breeding and selection. It also contains every variety Introduced by foreign growers up to date. Samples of many reports: "Send me $10.00 worth of your best pansy seed. If as goo<1 in colors and size as they were last year I will need double the amount next year." O. H. Toepke, Detroit, Mich. "The Pansy Park Perfection pansy plants obtained from you for our parks were quite satisfactory. Book our or- der for 50,000 in separate colors and mixed, as spocifled below, and .deliver In October." S. Man- ning, General Superintendent of Parks, Balti- more, Md. "The pansies from your seed are the finest thoroughbred flowers I have seen in this place which Is noted for good flowers on private estates." Geo. A. Galloupe, Beverly, Mass. "Pansies received in fine condition, and they are nice, healthy plants." F. D. Keyes, Florence, Mass. An Immense stock of flne field-grown plants from seed sown thinly, broadcast, so that each plant has plenty of room to grow stocky and strong, with extra good roots. Over 75 varieties mixed, the reds, bronzes and best fancy sorts in large proportion, 1000, $3.00; 500, $1.75; 5000, $14.00; 10,000, $27.00. Cash. L. W. Goodell. Pansy Park, Dwlght, Mass. HOME OF PANSIES. Our growing crops of pansies for seed were greatly admired by all florists who saw them this last sitinmer. All said they were grand — some said they were the best they had ever seen. We reserved over 50,000 of our best for seed growing and they certainly were a pretty sight. We are improving on them annually, and have a flne lot of red, red shades and other crosses of our own origin and nearly all colors and shades found in pansies. We started a few for a test very early and they have surprised us as to coloring and size of fiowers; snowing improve- ment over parent stock. Yoi^ cannot go wrong if ypu place your order with us. If, upon bloom- ipg, you are not perfectly satisfied I will return everv cent you paid for them. I made this same oflFer last year and bad not a kick and I am better prepared to make it now than I was then. $2.50 per 1000; 5000 for $10.00. Our collection contains no black, unless so ordered. We have a good stock of black which we keep separate. We can also supply, separate. Masterpiece, Giant Mme. Ferret and Giant Prize Trimardeau; also blood red and Golden Queen, separate.

It is said that steam binding is a fault common to all pumps used for clearing condensation returns and that more or less trouble from this source has until now been looked upon as inevitable. This lends interest to the report that the Chicago Pump Co., manufacturer of the automatic electric condensation pump that is in use in many greenhouses, has applied for a patent on a device that is said to prevent the pump from becoming steam bound. MISSOXtRI OABNATION HOUSES. I have two new greenhouses, run- ning north and south, with the boiler house at the northwest corner. The houses are each 20i^xl50, with no parti- tion between them. The outside walls are four feet high. The east wall is entirely of glass and the west wall con- tains two feet of glass. The ground slopes toward the north at the rate of a foot and a half in 100 feet. The houses are not protected in any way. They will be used for carnations and there will be no benches. The soil in which the carnations will be planted will be raised one foot; or, rather, the walks will be one foot lower than the beds. I shall heat with hot water and shall do the piping myself. I have a lot of 1%-inch and 2-inch pipe on hand and wish to use it. If I use 3-inch flows, can I use the smaller pipe for returns? How shall I arrange the piping? Shall I place the boiler in a pit or use a generator on the lever? A. L. Y. Three-inch pipe can be used as flow pipes, placing one on each wall of each of the houses. Nine 2-inch or eleven 1 Mi-inch pipes should be used as re- turns in each house, placing one more on the outer walls than on the inside walls. If the east wall is much ex- posed, an additional return might be needed. Give the flow pipes, which should he carried on the plates, a slight fall, and connect them at the farther end of the house with the return coils. These, also, should fall toward the boiler. There should be one 4-inch flow pipe leading from the boiler to each of Do You Know how much the temperature va- ries in your greenhouses during the night, or when you are ab- sent ?

If more convenient, it will answer if the four 3-inch flow pipes are connected 'lirectly with the boiler. The main re- turns should be of the same size as the flow pipes. If the highest point of each flow pipe is connected with the expan- sion tank, there will be no occasion for using air valves. A PARTITIONED GBEENHOUSE. In piping a house fifty feet long, containing solid beds, how should we arrange the piping from the outlet of the flow pipe? Should we use return bends on the walls? Our house is now 15x20; that is, it is twenty feet wide and as yet only fifteen feet from gable to gable. We want to lengthen it fifty feet, making it 20x65. We will leave the glass end in the present liouse as a partition, so we can heat it to 60 degrees at night, while the new part will require a night temperature of 50 degrees. This 15x20— the old part —is sunk in the ground two feet; the addition will be above ground. Our iiot water heater has two 2-inch flows. Would it be best to run both of these to the far end of the sixty-five feet and then run to the returns into the eighteen 1%-inch pipes under the benches of the 15x20, connecting them when the returns get back to the 15x20? If you think our plan of eighteen 1^- inch pipes in the 15x20 is not correct, please advise us. We use galvanized pipe. We thought of using one flow for each part, one for the 15x20 and one for the addition, but do not believe that one will heat the addition in this section of Michigan, where the outside temperature sometimes drops to 15 or 20 degrees below zero.

In heating a greenhouse, either with steam or hot water, the simplest and at the same time the best method is to carry one or more mains to the farther end of the house, and there connect with the coils, which will serve as re- turu pipes. The important point is to have the number and size of the flow pipes adjusted to the amount of radia- tion, and then use a sufficient number of pipes in the coils to maintain the de- sired temperature. Just what size of pipes should be used depends upon the length of the houses and the amount of radiation. i For a house 20x65 feet, to be heated with ho*^ water to 50 degrees, two 2- inch flow- pipes and ten l^/^-inch re- turns— or,' better yet, eight 2-inch — should be used. To maintain 60 de- grees in the end of the house next to the boiler, four additional 1%-inch or three 2-inch returns will be needed. These can be connected to two of the returns where they enter the room, or a 1%-inch feed pipe can be taken off from one of the returns overhead. If the latter method is followed, there should be a valve on the supply pipe so "that the flow can be regulated. So far as the returns are concerned, this would require only fourteen IV^-inch returns in the house 15x20, and, as al- ready pointed out, ten of them should be connected with the ten pipes re- quired in the new part of the house; the others may be connected directly to one of the flow pipes or treated as branch pipes from two of the long runs. VABIOUS INQUIBIES. In The Review rf September 28, page 90, you gave me a piping plan for my greenhouse. As I know extremely lit- tle about this work, I should like to get a little more information. Should all the flow pipes be of the same height or should the center flow b'e higher than the flows on the side walls? The boiler is tapped for a 4-inch pipe; should a 4-inch return be run from the boiler to the house and then along the ends of the benches, so that 2-inch returns can be connected to it from the end of each bench and from the side walls?

As I expect to add to the length of the house next summer, would it be ad- visable to use tees on the far ends of the flows and returns, so that in con- necting the pipes in the new house the present piping would not be disturbed? E. S. If possible, it is a good idea to have the flows at the same height, but, as stated in the previous reply, it will an- swer if two of them are carried on the plates and the other about two feet lielow the ridge. A 4-inch pipe will be about right for the main flow and the main return should always be of the same size as the flow. It will answer if there is a valve on each of the 2%- inch flow pipes, preferably near the «nd of the house that adjoins the boil- er.

Quite a few large out-of-town weddings have been handled by Toronto florists and several are yet on the books. Next Monday is Thanksgiving day here and this will create a good demand on the previous Saturday. All stock is plentiful and in excellent cbudiiien. 3oses are now first-class, while mums in all shades — white, pink, yellow and bronze — are right up to the mark.

The first frost of the season put in its appearance October 23, but, as it was a light one, little damage was done. Nevertheless, it had a tendency to hustle the florists out after their sup- ply of geraniums and other perishable outdoor stock. Though rain has been in evidence, the sun has done his full duty and has brought stock along to the florists' satisfaction. Boses are cropping fairly well and the present supply is more than sufficient for all needs. Beauties, since the- arrival of chrysanthemums, have been difficult to dispose of. Roses in the pink and white varieties are selling best, as they come in well on funeral work. Chrysanthemums of various hues are again in season. The supply is daily becoming heavier and the greater part of the cut flower demand is for them; thus other varieties of stock have to take a back seat. Carnations in colors are arriving in sufficient numbers to meet all demands. The white varieties, however, are a little scarce. The qual- ity is steadily improving. Sweet peas are also seen in the market and are bringing 50 cents per hundred. Lily of the valley seems to be a scarce ar- ticle. The giganteum supply is barely sufficient to meet the demand. There are also a few Melpomene lilies, for which the market seems good. Asters are a thing of the past. The frost so far has not been heavy enough to put dahlias out of the mar- ket. Indeed, the street market on Sat- urday, October 21, was fairly alive with all varieties of dahlias and out- door chrysanthemums. Some dahlias of excellent quality were sold by market gardeners for .5 cents and 10 cents per dozen, while the florists complimented themselves if they could get 20 cents per dozen. Such conditions are degrad- ing to the florists' business. Various Notes. Friends of Albert Furst will be sur- prised to learn of his marriage to Miss Mary Meyers, of Steubenville, O., Oc- tober 2.5.

While mums are in season gerauium plants are not wanted. After Thanks- giving, however, comes a scarcity of lowers, when pots of geraniums are bright and decidedly welcome. Dis- continue pinching off the flower trusses. If they show signs of starvation, feed with moderate freedom, but avoid using' too much liquid manure or chem- icals high in nitrogen, as they promote a rank,^ healthy looking, but soft growth, ' which flowers poorly. Top dressings once a fortnight of fine bone or Clay's fertilizer tend to build up plants with a hard, stocky growth, which flowers with great freedom. If the plants have been properly pinched, they should not require any staking. In case they do, use sticks which are painted green and make them as short and inconspicuous as possible. Spread out the plants every few days, as their growth is now rapid and, if allowed to crowd, it will only mean a larger proportion of yellow foliage. .PijCfe. pff all decayed leaves at least once a week. Let them have all the sun possible and air freely except on told nights. They should have some ventilation all the time.' As the flowers rommence to open, keep the atmosphere drier and, in watering, keep moisture oflf tHe flowers and foliage as much as possible. The sunlight is now steadily on the decline and, while we may hope for many_ clear and fairly warm days, there will be spells of dark, damp, sun- less weather, when care is necessary if nice plants are desired. Bedding Geraniums. Answering several inquiries, it is not too late to put in geranium cuttings. In fact, the late cuttings are firmer and rtot better than the earlier ones, and in the warmer states the last of October, and even November, is found the best time to-put them" in. "No mat- ter whether in small pots or flats of sand, they should be carefully watered now. Give just sufiScient moisture at the roots to prevent shriveling. If watered day after day, they will grow rank and need potting on long before we have vacant spaces for them. If held tolerably dry, they will be found to have made a mass of fibrous roots even if the tops are small, and they will respontl quickly to good after treat- ment. Standard Geraniums. Standard or tree-shaped geraniums are something of a novelty, but are fine in the center of a bed; also for porch and piazza decorations. Their culture is not difficult, but salable plants can not be had as quickly as the ordinary bedding plants commonly seen. In Europe, standard geraniums, pelargoniums, fuchsias, marguerites, heliotropea, lantanas and some other Pj.^'ite are popular and made much use of, especially in flower beds. Here they are but little se^fi, probably> be- cause it takes longei' to grow them and commercial growers can not afford to wait so long for retiutoe^. .'^ . ' '-C' Select for standai'ds, geraniums wbich are naturally short-jointed and stocky. Sank growing kiu4^.:,are not ^ any use. Instead of pfndiiBg the c\ittings as for ordinary bedding plants, keep them growing. Tie up to a stake and rub off all side shoots. When tl^e stem is of sufficient lengthy twenty-fotlr to thirty inches, pinch oijt the top and let the head develop and become shapely by repeated pinchings. Always keep the plants secdreiy staked until ready for use. They are better grown under glass all the time. It takes fif- teen to eighteen months to grow stamd- ard geraniums with good sized heads, and they need fair sized pots. Of course, a good price must be had for such plants to make them profitable, but there would seem to be a field here for some enterprising growers who want to have something out of the beaten track with which to attract people. ■ Pelargoniums. The show, or large-flowered, pelar- goniums are now starting to grow freely and will require potting over in many cases. They like a soil composed of fibrous loam, cow manure and sand, with some fine bone or Clay's fertilizer added, and should be potted quite firmly. Keep the strong shoots pinched to make the plants shapely, and grow them cool; 40 to 45 degrees at night is warm enough. If kept in a higher tem- perature, green aphis will attack them more. Spraying with a nicotine or soapy solution once a week, or fumiga- tion, will keep them clean, but this must not be neglected. * -'J * V • - Hi ■v* '•»'^ - .- r\>i. -r * J7. -*./ *■- t.

Brun- son, PadUcah, Ky., which won the lov- ing cup offered by the Palmer Hotel Co., for the best floral design shown at the Paducah fair, October 5, 1911. One of the interesting points was that the designer, W. J. Wright^ was left to his own resources and the stock on hand to win the prize. Special stock had been ordered for this design, with instructions to ship by American Ex- press, and would have arrived in six hours after shipment, but the delivery boy took it to the Adams, which has no ofSce at Paducah, and it arrived thirty hours after shipment, and three hours after judging the designs. Not until four hours before staging did Mr. Wright learn by wire that he would not receive his stock in time and that he would be obliged to do the best he could with the flowers that happened to be on hand. The lower half of the wreath was a heavy bed of adiantum, orchids and valley, the upper half of ivy studded with white roses and val- ley, with showers of valley. The base was of green, palms, pandanus, ferns and plumosus. THE NEW BEMB CAB. The accompanying illustration is re produced from a photograph of the new delivery car of the Bemb Floral Co. The body was built on a one-ton Fed- eral chassis. Mr. Pochelon was the dc signer. The car is 4x7 feet inside measure, with a height of five feet six inches. It is rather unique in that there are side doors as well as a double rear door. Inside is a seat run- ning lengthwise on each side of the car, from the side doors back. These seats are dropped out of position when not in use, the use being to carry a number of emploj'ees to any large decoration where much help may bo required. Elec- tric lights are used throughout. A meter and clock are installed on the dash, whereby Mr. Pochelon can tell to the minute just how long the driver took for a trip, number of stops made and the duration of each stop. The car is handsomely finished in black body and red gearing with nickel trimming*). Speaking of Bemb and automobiles, Mr, Pochelon, who is proprietor of the Bemb Floral Co., recently had for a local automobile manufacturer the larg- est decoration ever put on a dinner table in Detroit. The table seated 112 persons. It was a big oval affair that occupied almost the whole of the ban quet hall at the Pontchartrain hotel. On the inner side, a hedge of privet about eight inches high encircled the table. From this hedge a boulevard scene, interspersed with driveways, sloped down from the table to the floor, in the center of which was a circular speed track, around which miniature duplicates of all the Ford models put on the market from the beginning by that company were continually running dur- ing the evening. The cars, of course, were filled with miniature men and women and presented an animated scene. In the center of the speedway an illuminated fountain was continu- ally playing, while leading to the speed- way were various roads, the street corners and cross roads being illumi- nated with miniature electric street lamps. Interspersed over this boule vard scene were beds of flowers. A GOOD WEDDING DECORATION. One of the things often asked for but not often seen is a really first-class wedding decoration for a private resi- dence when the «um to be expended is not large. Making a satisfactory and creditable showing within a modest appropriation has taxed the ingenuity of probably every fiorist in the coun- try. When the bride's father says, ' ' Go as far as you like, ' ' the florist has a much simpler job, in a way, than when the cost has to be held down to merely a few dollars. And yet there are a dozen, yes, a hundred, of the modest decorations for every one where the florist is given what the Fifth ave- nue retailer likes to report as "a cartc- blanche order. ' ' The retailer whose stock of acces- sories includes a lot of wedding para- phernalia has a great advantage over the one who has none of these requi- sites, when it comes to figuring on al- most any sort of wedding decoration, but the handicap is particularly heavy on the smaller jobs. The retailer who must start from "scratch" on every job must necessarily buy more material and do more work to achieve a satis- factory result. Where a reasonable amount of work is in sight it is wise economy to have a complete stock of wedding gates, kneeling stools, newel posts, velvet - covered ropes, plant stands, pot covers, tall vases, and the numerous other aids to the decorator now provided by the thoughtful gen tlemen who conduct the supply houses. With a good equipment of these in dispensables, the decorator can use them over and over again in so many different combinations that he not only avoids all suggestion of sameness, but actually has no two decorations alike and gets so much use out of his pur- chases that he need add no great sum to any one estimate to cover the cost of the stage effects he will employ. The illustration on page 13 of this issue is reproduced from a photograpli of a simple wedding decoration by Mrs. Lord, who does a prosperous retail flower business in the thriving city of Topeka, iii the state of Kansas. It used to be asked: "What's the mat ter Avith Kansas?" In course of time the answer came to be: "She's all right." Those who give a little study to the illustration will join in the aflirmation. It is a decoration that is well worth study by everyone who has similar work to do. It is simple, yet effective. It is capable of many varia tions, yet the idea can be employed with satisfactory result, using Beauties or chrysanthemums in place of lilies. It is a plan that can be amplified to any extent desired by merely extend- ing the decoration along the walls of the room. One trouble with the average photo graph that comes to The Review is that the subject almost always is un usual; either it is the biggest piece the florist ever made, or the most expen sive, or the most bizarre idea he ever was called upon to carry out; rarely is it a photograph of a simple, everyday order, with nothing special about it ex cept that, perhaps, it has had especially happy treatment. The Review would like to receive more such. LEADING DAHLIAS. The dahlias of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., have been moved from Locust Farm t(» Riverview this season.

NOVUtBU 2, Ifll. ^ ■' SLSS^SISS THE AUTUMN EXHIBITIONS t MADISON, N. J. The Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society held its annual show October 26 and 27. This society is noted for the high quality of its ex- hibits, but this . year seemed to have excelled its previous records. This is particularly true in the case of chrys- anthemums and roses. In the rose classes it is interesting to note that Bridesmaids are practically lost, and both My Maryland and Killarney had to bow to the newer Badiance, samples of which were shown in magnificent condition, with 4-foot stems, fully equal in all respects to the average American Beauty. In the chrysanthemum classes for thirty-six flowers in six varieties, William Duekham, superintendent for Mrs. D. Willis James, scored first. His exhibit contained magnificent speci- mens of W. Woodmason, Lady Hope- toun and Beatrice May. Charles Bar- banes, gardener for Dudley Olcott, Morristown, scored secon* with fine samples of Reginald Vallis and F. S. Vallis. For eighteen flowers in six varieties, J. Lindabury, gardener for Robert D. Foote, Morristown, was first. His Pockett's Crimson in this class were wonderfully fine, and other splendid flowers were C. H. Totty and Eose Pockett. John Downing, gardener for Dr. D. H. McAlpin, was second, his finest flowers being Lady Hopetoun and Glenview, James Fraser, super- intendent for Otto H. Kahn, Morris- town, was third, his best flowers being Yellow Miller and Loiseau Rousseau. For twelve flowers in twelve varie- ties, one vase, Alex. Robertson, gar- dener for E. H. Wells, Montclair, was first. This exhibit contained magnifi- cent specimens of Alice M. Flagler, F. E. Nash, Mary Mason and Lady Hopetoun. John Downing scored sec- ond, his finest fiowers being Leslie Mor- rison, Cheltoni and Pockett's Crimson. For ten flowers, white, one variety, Wm. Turner, gardener for M. C. D. Borden, Oceanic, scored first with Bea- trice May. Wm. Duekham was second, with Mrs. Syme. This condition was reversed in si;t white, where magnifi- cent flowers exhibited by Peter Duff, gardener for Mrs. J, Crosby Brown, of Orange, were awarded first against Alex. Robertson second. For ten pinK, Wm. Duekham scored first with Lady Hopetoun. One of the most striking exhibits in the show was the class for twenty-four blooms in twenty-four distinct varie- ties, single stems, shown in bottles. This class was won by Wm. Duekham, who had a remarkable collection of varieties. They included as the finest Harry E. Converse, W. Woodmason, Mrs. G. C. Kelly, Mrs. H. Stevens, Chrysanthemiste Montigny, Onunda and Alice Lemon. Wm. Turner was second with a wonderfully even lot of blooms, among his best being Mrs. C. H. Totty, Leslie Morrison, Mary Donnellan, W. Woodmason and Mrs. H. Stevens. Ernest E. Wilde, gardener for C. W. Harkness, Madison, was first in Class 9 with what the judges thought the twelve best -flowers in the show. They were as follows: W. Woodmason, Rose Pockett, Mary Farnsworth, Naceur Bey, Alice Lemon, Mrs. Syme, Beatrice May, Pockett's Crimson, F. E, Nash, Lady Hopetoun, Frank Payne and George Lock. His nearest competitor was ^. Lindabury, whose finest flawers in- cluded Lady Hopetoun, Pockett's Crim- son, Onunda, Mrs. David Syme and Mrs. O. H. Kahn. The third prize was won by Jas. Fraser, whose finest flowers were Howard Gould, C. H. Totty and F. E. Nash. The Stumpp & Walter prize was won by Alex. Robertson for six flowers in six varieties, which were all of superb quality: F. E. Nash, Lady Hopetoun, Hon. Mrs. Lopes, Gladys Blackburn, F. S. Vallis and Flagler. Peter Duff scored second in this class, with Lady Hopetoun and Yellow Miller among his best. In the class for six flowers, one va- riety, Jas. Fraser scored first in pink, with fine Wm. Duekham; in bronze, with Rose Pockett; in crimson, with Pockett's Crimson, and J. Lindabury, first for yellow with F. S. Vallis. For vase of chrysanthemums arranged for effect, John Downing was first and Jas. Fraser second. The class for pompon chrysanthe- mums was won by Henry Gaut, gar- dener for J. T. Pratt, Glen Cove. John Downing scored first for twelve vases of singles. In the commercial classes Chas. H. Totty ran first clear down the list, show- ing Mrs. Syme for white, R. F. Felton for yellow, Reginald Vallis for pink and Mrs. O. H. Kahn for any other color, ten of each. The chief noticeable fact about the chrysanthemum exhibits was the pre- dominance of the Australian varieties. Outside of Merza, Vallis and Chrys- anthemiste Montigny, the entire show may be said to have been composed of Australian varieties. The peer of them all was Mrs. Syme. It was too early for the growers in this vicinity for any other varieties, which will possibly be seen in New York this week in better condition. Aside from cut mums the awards were: Eighteen American Beauty roses, L. A. Noe, first. Twelve American Beauty, L. M. Noe, Est., first; Wm. Klelnheinz, gardener for P. A. B.

Lewis Milliot managed the show. LENOX, MASS. The autumn show of the Lenox Horti- cultural Society was held October 25 to 27 ani proved a most gratifying success. It was of course principally a show by the private gardeners, of whom there are many in the vicinity, but there were a number of special trade exhibits. Elmer D. Smith & Co., of Adrian, Mich., made a display of a new yellow chrysanthemum which has been named Lenox. There was a display of the new white carnation, Wodenethe, and the new rose. Sunburst, from C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., who also had on exhibition two new white chrysanthe- mums. They were Lady Carmichael, a reflexed flower, and the I. M. Henshaw, an incurved bloom. William D. Sloane won the Dreer sil- ver cup for the best arrangement of miscellaneous plants, the chief honor of the show. The principal exhibitors were: E. Spiers, gardener to Mrs. J. E. Par- sons; S.

Elliott must be right in his prime, a statement which will have the hearty concurrence of anyone who knows either the business or social side of his nature. Mr. Elliott was born at New Brighton, on Staten Island, October 15, 1863, and this brief sketch is prompted by the recent celebration of his forty- eighth birthday anniversary. Graduat- ing from the New Brighton grammar school at 18, he joined the forces of his father, William Elliott, one of New York 's pioneer seedsmen, so that almost coincident with the birthday anniver- sary Mr. Elliott completed three dec- ades in the business. Thirty years is a long time, even to look back upon in the horticultural trades in New York, where things have moved more than fast during practically all that time, and always in one direction. William Elliott died in 1897 and the business passed into the hands of the two sons, Carroll and William J., who have pushed it along now for fourteen years under the style of the partnership then formed, Wm. Elliott & Sons. They oc- cupy the entire building at 42 Vesey street, dealing in seeds, bulbs, plants and horticultural sundries, the second floor being devoted to the auction de- partment, where William J. holds forth so eloquently during the spring and autumn seasons. Carroll Elliott is said to resemble Col. E. H. R. Green, the millionaire Dallas florist who, son of Hetty Green, spends most of his time in Wall street. and, like Col. Green, Mr. Elliott never has married. Newspapers have re- ported that Col. Green has had a thou- sand proposals a year, but it is not the function of the present writer to di- vulge how much greater a number have come to the seedsman. AZALEAS FOB EASTEB. When would it be necessary to secure azaleas to have them in bloom for Easter f How many weeks would be re- quired to bloom them? A. O. C. Azaleas are all imported from Bel- gium and have recently arrived in America or are soon due. Your best plan will be to purchase at once any plants required, as you can secure them at more reasonable rates now than after the importers have potted them and probably cared for them for several months. Easter, 1912, comes April 7. In order to have your plants in flower at that time, place them in a temperature of 60 degrees about six weeks before that dAte and keep them freely syringed until the flowers show color. Some varieties naturally bloom earlier than others,but it is easy to hold them back a few days in a cold house and this is much better than having to force them hard just before they are wanted. Soak the balls of the azaleas well in a tub of water before potting. Press the soil firmly in the pots. Hold the plants in a cellar, pit or cold greenhouse until wanted. Any light place from which frost is excluded will answer. C. W. 1. ; ■..•':>(:<•.;• s.'^'t .^ v;,"^. . »'.: ■^' ,7-^ -w-v- -'- ■ t • , '.'^ '' 16 The Weekly Florists' Review. November 2, 1911. WHITE ANTS IN MUM SOIL. My attention has just been attract- ed to an inquiry in The Review for September 21, in which a subscriber says: "I have an entirely new bed of chrysanthemums, outdoors, and I am bothered with white ants. Will you kindly give me some advice as to how to get rid of them? The only reason for the trouble that I can give is that I spaded in fresh cow manure that was unclean. My location is southern Louisiana. ' ' C. H. Totty replies: "Possibly some southern grower who has had experi- ence with white ants can give better information on this subject than I can. I would state, however, that Paris green or arsenic, mixed with corn meal or some other cereal of a like char- acter, and scattered on the soil, will in many cases clean out the ants, and it will also destroy sowbugs. It is not at all probable that the ants originally came from the cow manure. In most cases, like Topsy, they 'just grow,' but their presence, when they do get here, is exceedingly real and unwelcome." Carbon bisulphid will settle their hash in short order. I was troubled with them in my mums on the bench a year or two ago and found the car- bon bisulphid the only thing to get at them, as they work altogether from be- low the ground, eating out the pith or center of the stem for quite a distance up the stem, until the plant dies. With a small stick make holes in the ground where the ants are at work, put a small quantity of carbon bisulphid in each hole, quickly closing the hole, and the fumes will do the work. The holes should be about a foot apart. The ants also are destructive to geranium plants in beds outdoors. They breed in rotten wood that is either buried or lying on the surface of the ground, so it is a good thing not to have any lying around. The carbon bisulphid can be had at the drug store, but don't smoke while you are handling it, as it is highly inflammable. William Walker. BEASON FOR POOR GROWTH. I should like to know what caused the condition of some of my chrysan- themums? The soil was not changed after growing tomatoes on it, but had some well-rotted manure mixed in, and seemed in excellent condition. On parts of two beds, however, some of the plants have made little if any growth and the foliage is yellow, while others growing among them are strong and healthy. The soil now seems a little heavy and the yellow plants ap- pear to have made no root growth. How do you explain the trouble, and is there any remedy for it? Do red spider and black aphis grow together on mums? I have some trouble with the latter but the former don't seem to thrive and I have wondered whether these two insects were natural enemies. B. B. Undoubtedly the fact that the soil was not changed after growing toma- toes has considerable to do with the condition of the plants at the present time, although if properly managed, fairly good success can be obtained by growing in a soil that has grown pre- vious crops. It would seem that the part* of the bed where the plants have made such poor growth and the leaves are yellow may be poorly drained, or else the stock when planted was in wretched condi- tion. I note that while some are strong and healthy growing among the diseased plants, others have made no growth and are yellow, and this would indicate that the stock was diseased when it was planted; otherwise there is no reason why they should not all have come along in a similar manner. It is too late to try any remedy for the stock this year. The only thing to do is to propagate only from healthy plants and discard the diseased plants entirely another year. Then the crop should come in good condition. Red spider and black aphis will grow together on mums. So far as I am aware these insects are friends. We sometimes wish they were enemies. It would simplify matters a great deal. If B. B. is never bothered with red spiders on chrysanthemum plants, it is an exceptional case, although many peo- ple lose lots of flowers from red spider and do not know, until too late, what caused the trouble. The red spider is so small that it is almost invisible to the naked eye, although the web that it weaves around the bud is always in evidence if red spider is present in any quantity. The red spider and aphis will certainly grow together on mums and need no "reciprocity treaty" to do it either. C. H. T. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. Work of the Committees.

Under separate cover I am forward- ing to you a few carnation buds and I shall be grateful to you if you will tell me what is the trouble with them and what I can do to remedy it. I am losing a good many. The buds are rotting off in this way as soon as they start showing color. I keep the houses on the dry side, syringe them about once in two weeks and fumigate with nicotine twice a week. Would fumigating with hydrocyanic acid gas be advisable and how should it be done? How should I prepare Bordeaux mixture and how often should I use it as a preventive? S. S. You are troubled with what is com- monly known as bud-rot. This is caused by a tiny insect which works inside the bud and prevents development, causing the petals to stick together and rot. Spraying with nicotine is supposed to be a good remedy, if done persist- ently and in strong enough doses. Hy- drocyanic acid gas is also supposed to be good, perhaps better than the nico- tine. Write to the Department of Agriculture at Washington for Bulletin No. 27, by F. H. Chittenden, printed in 1901. This bulletin will give you more information on the subject than I could take the space for here. When picking off buds which have rotted, be sure that you burn them and let none of them be thrown in the walks or under the benches, to multiply. To make Bordeaux mixture, take six pounds of copper sulphate and dissolve in a couple of gallons of water. Do the same "with four pounds of lime.

C. & S. There is no doubt that rotted cow manure makes by far the best mulch- ing material for carnations or any other crop. If the plants are pretty well established and in condition to stand a little feeding, then you want it not too well rotted. If it is just rotted enough to be free from danger of sour- ing, it will give your plants a good deal of nourishment as well as the pro- tection for the surface m|,' rhe soil I'roiii lialxing and drying out. It'. Iiowewr. \oii w.Miit mendy to proveiit diving out ill spots, then yoii want tlu; manure pretty well rotted. K'otted stable ma niire will also answei well in that case. To mak'e li(juiil manure, \'oii can use the cattli* manure with good sikm^oss. varying it occasionally vvith sliv^qj ma aiire ;ind wooil ashes. Of the cattle manure jmt a bushel in a bag and hang it ill a ."0-gallon bai-rtl of water. Of sheep manure use about one-fourth that amount. How often yon ap[dy the feed must depend entirely on the condition of your ])lants. No liai'd and fast rule cut be laid down for this. If the jilants are strong and well established and the weather is normal, Avith a gootl deal of sunshine, then an application of the ftMvl once each week will not be too much. lUit in case of dark Aveather, keep your eye on the texture of thi- stock and at the first sign of softness r(>duce the feeding. A light sprinkling of wood ashes alioiit once in six weeks will help to stilTen the stems. .Vir-slakeil linu' also will have this effect, but we like the .ishes better, as they do not seem so caustic. There are a nuniber of other materials which are good for the pur- pose of varying the diet, such as dried i)lood, tankage and a number of the complete fertilizers olTered bv the trade. A. 1'. .'l.

The convention of the National As- sociation of Gardeners was held at Madison^ N. J., October 27, with a fair attendance, although the majority of the gardeners who attended the Morris County Horticultural Society show October 21 were unable to be away from their conservatories two days in succession. New constitution and by- laws were offered and met with almost unanimous approval. M. C. Ebel, of Madison, was elected secretary. Splen- did addresses were made by J. K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, J. Otto Thilow, of Philadelphia, and C. H. Totty, of Madison. About thirty attended the banquet in the evening, where jollity and good fellowship prevailed. Among the visitors were Messrs. Orpet and Foley, of Chicago, and David Bust, of Philadelphia. A large attendance from New York was noted. Rising votes of thanks to the speakers were many and Ex-secretary Maynard was not forgotten. The outlook for the society seems bright and its influence is ex- pected in helping to make the national flower show in 1913 a great success. J. Austin Shaw. THE GABDENEB'S PABT. In an address to the National Associa- tion of Gardeners, at Madison, N. J.^ October 27, C. H. Totty said in part: "Let us have exhibits in the flower shows that can show people something of what they can do on their own little estates or cottage gardens. The great- est possibilities, to my mind, lie in making a man interested enough to buy his own little home, and then, by judicious use of hardy plants and flow- ers, he can make that little home a bower of beauty. Let us show him how, by judicious cultivation of his back yard, he can have enough vege- tables fresh from his own garden to supply his family table for eight or nine months of the year. Get a man interested in such a proposition as this and it will do him more good, mentally, morally and from the viewpoint of health, than any other thing he can get interested in. You gentlemen, each in your own community, exercise a power of good in that way. A man interested in gardening or a woman either, if they ask your opinion on a certain thing, will accept your answer as gospel truth, and act on the in- formation. They know you have no direct financial interest in any recom- mendation you may give. It is some- what different with a florist. No mat- ter how honest he may be, there is always behind it the idea ' be has some- thing to sell; he has an axe to grind,' and his word therefore does not carry so much weight. "I think you gardeners arc making a great mistake that you do not belong to the Society of American Florists. Your own national organization is ex- cellent. It covers your phase of the situation. But the Society of American Florists is the only society operating under a national charter. Its mem- bers have tried repeatedly to interest the private men. Years ago the phrase 'and Ornamental Horticulturists' was added to the Society of American Flo- rists in an effort to prove to you that the same was all-embracing. The re sponse to this was not satisfactory. One reason, I believe, is that the gar- deners have not until recently realized the value of organization. "The Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists wishes you to cooperate with it in making the National Flower Show of 1913 the grandest and greatest success that has ever been seen along these lines. As chairman of the National Flower Show committee, I beg of you at this time to give us your earnest support, to give us the benefit of your experi- ence." SEASONABLE OBCHID NOTES. Fall Sorts and Their Treatment. The orchid houses during October and November are quite gay with flowers. There is hardly so much variety as, for instance, in February or March, but there are certain varieties which com- bine to make the houses attractive now. Among these are the free flower- ing, easily grown and ever popular Cattleya labiata; the beautiful golden yellow Oncidium varicosum Eogersii; the free flowering dendrobiums, D. Phalsenopsis Schroederianum and D. for- mosum giganteum; Vanda caerulea, with its great spikes of charming blue flowers; cypripediums of the insigne and some other sections; certain phalae- nopsis and some other orchids. The daylight is steadily declining now and, while some days are hot, there are spells of dull weather. For the welfare of the plants, the amount of shading on the roofs should be con- siderably decreased. In fact, cattleyas not in flower should now stand the full sun, but cypripediums will need shade, as will phalaenopsis. On the other hand, dendrobes of the nobile and Wardianum types want the fullest amount of sun- shine. It is hard, where a number of genera are grown in one house, to suit the needs of all. We can but try to accommodate the greatest possible num- ber with the best possible growing con- ditions. During sunless weather, watering should be done with greater caution. As yet, fire heat will not be needed to any great extent, and 'Vvhen any is used the ventilators should' be opened all day and on mild nighti. Few or- chids want a close, stuffy • atmosphere and this is particularly true of cat- tleyas and coelias. The East Indian species naturally enjoy more heat and moisture. For some months now, water- ing ghould be done early in the morn- ing, and the amount of damping down of the floors will, of course, depend on the weather and the amount of fire heat being used. T^e Temperatures. Temperatures should now be lowered in the several houses. Phalsenopsis and other East Indian species should be allowed 65 degrees at night; 58 to 60 degrees is ample for cattleyas. Cypri- pediums, or at least many of them, like a warm house and 62 to 65 degrees at night will do for them, although C. insigne, C. Leeanum and other varieties can be well grown 10 degrees cooler. Ccelogynes, cymbidiums, odontoglossums and other cool orchids should not have a temperature exceeding 55 degrees on warm and 50 degrees on cool nights. Orchids, like many other plants, are not benefited, but, in fact, much weak- ened by a high night temperature. We are told by scientists that plants make all their growth at night; therefore, the importance of moderate and uni- form night temperatures can scarcely be overestimated. With all orchids now in their winter quarters, some time must be given to the work of cleaning them, and any spare moments are well spent in this way. Commercial growers can not spare time to do this, as in the case of private estates. Still, with some genera, especially miltonias and cypripediums, it is a necessity, particularly if, through any neglect, thrips or other pests have been allowed to attack the foliage. For thrips, dipping in tobacco water or one of the soapy solutions is good. Beaches become more in evidence with increased fire heat and will attack flowers, roots and leaves with equal avidity. Poison and fumigation have no terrors for them, but tins or glass jars, sunk in the ground and containing molasses or some other appetizing food, will lure many of them to their destruction. DAHLIAS FOB MIDDLE WEST.

I am growing Virginia Maule, Delices, Mrs. Roosevelt, Master Carl, Prince of Yellows and a host of others of the newer sorts and, while they are undoubtedly beautiful, they either are too late for this section or they are shy bloomers under my conditions. The list above is selected, among other things, for freedom of bloom and earli- ness. Fully eighty-five per cent of my income from cut blooms of dahlias is from varieties named in this list. W. K. Fletcher. BOSTON'S HORTIC5ULTURAL CLUB. To promote a more widespread inter- est in horticultural matters is the prime purpose of the Horticultural Club of Boston, which has just been organized. It is the outgrowth of an old club which had become defunct; and in reviving it along new lines it is confidently be- lieved by the leaders that it will exert a powerful influence in the horticulture of the country. Its membership is limited to twenty of the prominent hor- ticulturists of the east, some of whpm have attained bigh reputation for their research work. This is particularly true •of David Fairchild, of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, who has traveled all over the world for the pur- pose of assembling specimens for the government; and E. H. Wilson, of the Arnold Arboretum, who only a few months ago returned from a long trip into the heart of China, bringing back with him many rare plants. . The club will meet once a month dur- ing eight months of the year at the Parker House, and the dinner, which always will be a feature, will be fol- lowed by an address by some member. Friday, November 3, Mr. Wilson will give an account of his recent expedi- tion and what it accomplished in the way of enlarging the horticultural pos- sessions of Harvard University, which stands sponsor for Arnold Arboretum. Prof. Charles S. Sargent, director of the Arnold Arboretum, has given his highest endorsement of the Horticul- tural Club, and in his statement ad- dressed to President Farquhar he not "% H. C Will, of Will Bros. G>., Minneapolis, and His String. only touches upon the aims and field of -operations for the organization, but speaks a word for the arboretum, which he holds is not appreciated by American horticulturists as it should be. Following is the list of the members of the club: John K. M. L. Farquhar, president. Bog- ton. E. H. Wllwfn, honorary secretary, Arnold Arboretum, Forest Hills, Boston. John A. Pettlgrew, superintendent of parka, Boston, Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass. David Fairchild, Department of Agricul- ture, WashinKton, D. C. Alexander Montgomery, Natick, Mass. Peter Fisher, Kills. Mass. M. A. Patten, Tewksbury, Mass. E. Allan Peirce, Waltham, Mass. "W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J. James F. M. Farquhar, Boston. Robert Cameron, Harvard Botanic Gar- den, Cambridge, Mass. Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J. Jackson Dawson, Arnold Arboretum, For- est Hills, Boston. William J. Stewart, Boston. Patrick Welch, Boston. J. D. Kisele, Philadelphia. Hon. C. W. Hoitt, Nashua, N. H. F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y. L. J. Reuter, \yesterly, R. I. WILL'S BAG. H. C. Will, secretary of Will Bros. Co., Minneapolis, went to Donnelly, Minn., last week for a couple of days with the ducks. Other florists who en- gage in this sport will be interested in the picture showing his bag. There were seventy-two ducks in the string, mallards, bluebills and red ducks. MINXEAFOLIS. The Market. After a week of cloudy weather, with stock rather scarce, the sun is now shining and prospects are that as soon as the plants feel the effect there will be plenty of nfee stock. Frost about ten days ago killed all outdoor stock, to the relief of the florists. Dahlias up to that time had been good, but a quantity of Shasta daisies of rather poor quality found their way to the stores. Business as a whole is considered fair, and the starting of the flower season is noticeable by better displays in the store windows. The chrysanthe- mum is the flower of note, and the hon^e-grown look particularly good. President Taft paid the city a visit and caused the excitement a presidential visit generally does, but not making any great stir in flower business. v,. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. R. Wessing have the sympathy of the trade in the death of their little daughter, Erna Winona, last week of diphtheria. Merriam Park Greenhouses have a quantity of pompon chrysanthemums which they are disposing of at an ad- vantage. The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting some fine mums, but the dark weather of late has kept back the carnations and roses, and Emil Olsen, who has charge of the orders, had a busy time trying to make the stock go around. Rice Bros., the hustling wholesale florists and supply dealers, are busy as usual with shipping orders. Hiawatha Gardens Co. has devoted the place at University avenue and Bedford street mostly to pot plants, and is cutting a quantity of carnations and roses at the new place at Lyndale and Fiftieth street. The poinsettias at the University avenue place look prom- ising. H. B. Whitted's delivery cars are fly- ing around at all times and in all parts of the city. So splendid a delivery out- fit is certainly an ad for the enter- prising florist. Violets from Will Bros, are welcome. They are not cutting many yet, but what they lack in quantity they make up in qualitjT. ■ August Swanson is living at Minne- tonka, and by appearances commuting must agree with him. Oscar Amundson, who was burned out in the Brunswick hotel about a year ago, and who has since located on South Eighth street, has moved to his old number in the Andrews hotel, newly built on the site of the old Brunswick. His store is in keeping with the hotel, an architecturally beautiful building.

Ootober 27, a loss of $2,000 was entailed, the boiler- - room was wrecked, several greenhouses ■ badly damaged, and the entire neigh- borhood shaken by the force of the blafttr Failure to open a valve is said to have been the cause of the explo* sion. . Eichard Haentze, who was on duty that night, had visited the boiler-room of the south row of the houses shortly before 9 o 'clock and after adding fuel to the fires had gone to the home of a neighbor. A few minutes later the boiler exploded. Robert Haentze, for- mer president of the common council and a member of the tlorist company, was the first .to arrive on the scene, and he immediately summoned the file department, which extinguished the flames that followed the explosion. An immediate investigation showed that the- boiler had^been blown ]to>, pieces, that t.l^e boilerTroom was wrecked ajid the ends of several of the greenhouses badly damaged. The investigatioft also showed, it is said, that the valve on the boiler which exploded had not been opened and this is thought to have caused the explosion. The boiler was located in a pit, but the force of the explosion wa^, «o great that the roof and sides of the building were blown out'. A-^ineh pipe from the boiler was htiTlid'i^ainst the side of the chimney, beht *'8 though it had been nothing more than thin wire. In the morning a force of workmen was engaged in clear- ing away the debris and preparing to place an auxiliary boiler into service. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. The several heavy frosts last week have had the desired effect and trade has picked up considerably. Dahlias, cosmos and other outdoor flowers are a thing of the past. Carnations, owing to the cool weather, have shortened in supply, but the quality is^ood. Mums are plentiful, with prices reasonable. Beauties and roses are in good demand, and orchids are more than enough to go around. There are some good pot mums to be had, but the sale on them is not heavy. Various Notes. Don't forget that the November meeting of the State Florists' Associa- tion is to be held at Richmond next Tuesday, November 9. Indianapolis flo- rists leave via the Pennsylvania raih road at 8 a. m. The first stop is at East Haven. Henry Rieman has completed a new greenhouse at his South East street establishment, to be used as a cold house. Karl H. Schuck, manager of the Fountain Square Flower Shop, has dis- continued business. Albert Pittet has a new pink chrys- anthemum, a sport from Touset, which he thinks is fine. He expects to put it on the market next year. Baur & Steinkamp had bad luck with their coal this week.

The Review has received several com- plaints that "a smooth-talking young fellow" has been falsely representing himself as working for The Review and soliciting new subscriptions or renewals in its name, frequently at a cut rate or with the promise of a premium, which in itself should be enough to arouse suspicion. ■ If a receipt is given it never is on printed blanks, some- times bears no name or address, but in one case was signed "H. Hunter," and in the latest instance was signed "A. H. Kellogg." Never pay money to strangers for The Review. Our representatives all are well known men^rs of the trade in their respective loMllities. THE COMINO JOINT SHOW. * The supporters of the American Rose Society are responding finely to the reque^ for a guarantee fund to enable the society to offer a first-class prize list for the coming exhibition at De- troit, January 10 to 12. Several ama- teurs have come forward, including Samuel Thorne, Millbrook, N. Y., and Mrs. E. M. Sharpe, of Wilkes-Barre. Ex-president W. H. Elliott writes: "Put me down for $100," but we only asked for $25 each. August Poehlmann says: ' ' Put me down $25 and $50 if needed. ' ' "A Friend" writes: "I think these shows, when popularly conducted, do much good. I am not flush just now, but if you are short at the last, call on me for $25. ' ' President Farenwald has called a meeting to prepare the prize list and it will be sent out with- out delay. Benj. Hammond, Sec'y. : TO DESTEOY A STUMP. In The Review of October 26 H. B. asks how to destroy a stump by peace- ful means. We were bothered by a large locust stump under somewhat sim- ilar conditions. We bored three 1-inch holes deep into the hearfa'afltfthe stump, filled them with coal oil Hj^d plugged them up. We had no more^ouble with the stump. Try it. Dille Floral Co. In answer to >H. B. on getting rid of a stump close to his greenhouses, I have uUed a good many with two screw cks, a railroad tie and a log chain, et the chain around one of the large roots and jat^r the tie. Fasten it. Put a jack under one end of the tie and get busy. I have found two jacks needed only in particularly stubborn cases. Put a block or thick board under each jack. W. H. Buttle. ''. >^ .

There is no oversupply of any grade, but, if buyers are willing to pay the price, they have no difficulty in getting long-stemmed roses, and the quality really is 'exceptional. Killarney is the leader, but Ward, Melody and Bulgarie have so improved in quality that they are bringing the best money. Beauties are holding at excellent prices, considl»ring that it is the height of the chrysanthemum season. Short Beauties are extremely scarce. Carnations are not in large supply, but there is a limit to the price buyers will pay. Orchids locally grown are abundant and many shipments are ar- riving that would find sale in the east if those markets were not oversupplied. Valley usually is plentiful. "Violets are in moderately good supply and some of them are of exceptionally good quality for this d^te. They have been selling quite Veil for a fortnight. All green goods are plentiful but selling quite well, except smilax, which is dragging. October Business. It is the general report that October made a goq^, i^ecord. The first half of the month was rather dull, but then business picked up remarkably and im- proved steadily for a fortnight. On the whole, the month shows a good increasOii in sales, probably fully as great an crease as the increase in glass has be since last Octobu-. 9^ VajTous Notes. The planl^orthe Chicago Eose Co., Libertyville, 111., three houses, each 500 feet long, about 50,000 feet of glass, with fifteen acres of ground, has been sold to Schumann ^k Kohout for $13,- 000. The new firm consists of J. G. Schumann, for ten years rose grower for Bassett & Washburn, and Joseph Kohout, who has been carnation grower for that firm for thirteen years. They have taken possession and removed to Libertyville. The range is planted with roses and carnations. Mrs. George Hartung, wife of the Kensington florist, was removed to the Pullman hospital last week and oper- ated on for double rupture and ab|^wa on the intestines. Mrs. Hartun^^HS suffered a great deal during the last sw'eral months and has continually bpen under the doctor's care. iTKlimmer's Greenhouses is the name of a corporation organized at Forest Park to carry on the business of the late J. F. Klimmer. Incorporation pa- pers were filed at Springfield October 26. The capital stock is $5,000. The incorporators are Augusta, Frank and Minnie Klimmer and Lillie Zander. Ludwig Schmht,, Niles Center, is sending his first {fut of carnations to Zech & Mann. Hugo Schmitt worked for Matt -Mann hefSte starting in busi- ness as a lettuce grower. His health broke down and he made a trip to Ger- many, bringing back his brother, Lud- wig, and family. Only a few days after reaching Niles Center Hugo died suddenly. Ludwig Utok the green- houses, planted carnations^ and now is getting a first-class cut. Wellworth Farms is cutting an espe- cially fine crop of Killarney. J. A.

Bassett & Washburn are growing pompon chrysanthemums heavily this season, for the first time. Clifford Pruner, who has been man- ager of the supply department at E. H.

Wietor says that Wietor Bros, have not had the general experience with mums — their crops were not early; the earlies were late, but the midseason sorts are ready almost exactly at the usual date.

Fred Lautenschlager says that most of the orders now coming in are of the telegraph vapety and require quick shipment. Evidently Phil Foley finds out-of- town business profitable.

A Spokane florist reports the receipt of a large shipment of goldfish from the Auburndale Goldfish Co. and says "they came through in perfect shape — not one dead." Otto Wittbold said that business picked up nicely last week at Edge- brook and he looks for a steady in- crease till the holidays. He expects a large shipment of azaleas this i^eek.

Every retail florilfr^aigrees tlmV^the market is simply glorious. All the flowers that anybody could possibly want can be obtained at the- most won- derful prices — prices that are reason- able past all belief. Most of the busi- ness is being done with chrysanthe- mums, yet the supply of chrysanthe- mums is so much greater than the de- mand that not on even one day during the week closing November 1 has there been a danger of shortage. Yellow is the favorite. Eobert Halliday has been reinforced by Maj. Bonnaffon and Col. Appleton, the vanguard, so to speak, of these sterling midseason varieties. There is also a variety, named, I think, Mrs. Kelly, which makes some stir. Pink is greatly overdone, chiefly due to Pacific Supreme and to the fact that this excellent variety lost color during the muggy weather. Maud Dean and Pink Ivory have come; most important of all, Ivory, still the greatest white chrysanthemum for everyday use, is here in force. Pompons are plentiful in every shade of color. There is not a great deal to be said about the rest of the market that dif- fers from the report of a week ago. The principal changes lie in the im- provement of the double violet, making this sterling flower fully equal to mar- ket requirements, and in the blow ad- ministered to the dahlia by Jack Frost; hardly a knock-out blow, but suffi- ciently staggering to take the dahlia out of the race, except a few stragglers. The wami weather of October 31 and November 1, however, brought dahlias freely from sheltered sections of New Jersey. Shipping is excellent and there is con- siderable business, but prices rule low, with accumulations of the poorer j[rade8. The Flower Show. Philadelphia will have a fine flower •how next week.

Horticultural hall will be dec- orated, there will be music and many novel exhibits, the show will be well advertised and every florist is invited to help make it a success. Chrysan- themum plants in bloom, to which will be attached a handsome display card announcing the show, will be dis- tributed to the flower stores with the request that they be displayed in the show window«^t|d that the pro- prietor of the store lake a book of twenty-five or fifty tickets to sell to his customers. Further plans of the exhibition in- clude the engagement of William Gra- ham, admittedly one of the finest dec- orators in the city, to take charge of the decoration. The foyer will be in white and gold, as a setting for the novel decorations that it is hoped the retail florists will make there. The bal- cony will contain seats lor a large num- ber of persons, where the beautiful sights and the music can be enjoyed, a new feature sure to prove "popular. The vegetables will be reserved until Thursday, in order that they may not detract from the floral exhibits during the early part of the show. The com- mittee has raised a guarantee fund suf- ficient to give all the money required. In this connection J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the joint committee, asks publication of the following: "We invite any florist who has nov- elties or specialties hi wishes fiade pub- lic by aisplay to send them With cards to David Rust, secretary, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Horticultural hall, Broad street^- I'hiladelphia.

The growers like it, the commission men like it, the retailers like it and the public buy it. Why? Because it is one of the very best handlers, a good keeper, of beautiful form and color, fine foliage and good stem. Several of our growers have ftumted very heavily indeed, thus enabling ns to fill orders of any size. There will be two grades— one of very choice blooms, single stems, at $12.50 to f 16.00 per 100, with a few shorter stems at flO.OO per 100.

Quite a change has come over the market since last report. Almost con- tinuously clear, skies have resulted in a veritable avalanche of flowers, far more than can be sold at profitable rates, and prices have taken a tumble a]X around. Eoses are in abundant sup- ply and the quality leaves nothing to be desired. Prices have dropped, but there has been a good demand for the better grades. Mrs. Aaron "Ward and Lady Hillingdon are still much in fa- vor. White and Pink Killarney con- tinue the leaders in these colors. American Beauties now are extra good. Carnations a,r6 arriving in increasing numbers and some low prices have lately been recorded, as low as 25 cents per hundred in some cases. Extra fine stock has made $1.50 to $2 per hun- dred. Chrysanthemums are now the pre- dominant flower and are not making satisfactory prices. While some select make $1.50 to $2 per dozen, others sell as low as $3 per hundred. Compared with prices realized for early blooms, these must be unprofitable. Ivory is seen in quantity and quite a few Bon- naffon are in. "Violets average lower; 300 for a dollar has been the rate for many, some extras making 50 to 60 cents per hundred. Sweet peas remain about the same. There is a good sup- ply of valley. Lilies axe npt in demand. A few Paper Whiter-^aflnssi have ap- peared, to start the bulb season. Out- door flowers were quite cleaned out by a severe frost Octpber 28. Cattleyas continue overabundant and oncidiums are plentiful, as are cypri- pediums. Bouvardia is seen of good quality and is in demand. Yellow mar- guerites sell well. Gardenias are seen in small quantities. ' Prices on aspara- gus show no change, but adiantum has sold a little better. There is a little more activity in pot plant trade. Chrys- anthemums, Lorraine begonias, ericas^ cyclamens and berried subjects are chiefly in evidence, also quantities of crotons. Flower Market Dinner.

Consider it from the standpoint of quicker, more efficient delivery service to your ^ustomera. . - Recall the number of times you cou|d have had an order and donbtleas a per- manent customer— if ymi could nave started the goods on the way immediately. Consider the fact wat the Motor- Wagon can cover more ground than the best horse or two you can buy, and still be available for quick dashes here and there when occasion demands. "The automobile enables a store to reach that much farther for the orders that it is willing to go after and deliver," says the Inland Storekeeper. "It nu^es speed possible in the filling of orders. It does more workthao a horse, «r probably two horses can do, and it does it all in so much qmcker time that the increased rapidity is of itself a valuable trade producer." The Motor- Wagon is just such a dar as vou have been waiting for— cheap in its first cost, cheap to run and keep, and built to. withstand the severest sort of delivery service. It is really a wagon that cjm be loaded and driven and cared for with very little trouble.

C. L CRITCHELL, Wholesaie Commiasion Florist, 84-86 East Third Atc., Ohio Mention The Review wben you write. EOCHESTEB, N. Y. The Market. Business was quite fair last week, as the cool, crisp weather quickened the demand and flowers are moving at a better pace. Funerals and a few wed- dings serve to make things fairly brisk. Mums are supreme in the market and are arriving in large quantities and in splendid shape. Killarney and Mary- land roses are much improved and in good demand. Kaiserins are also ex- cellent, but Taft roses have deteri- orated. Considering the lateness of the sea- son, there is a great supply of gla- dioli in all colors, but there is little sale for them on account of the large number of mums and carnajtions that are flooding the market. There are still a few good dahlias to be had. Star bouvardias are especially good and are largely used with roses, carnations and violets. Fancy baskets of cut flowers are in great demand at the retail stores and potted chrysanthemums are selling well. Smilax, asparagus and ferns are plen- tiful. The flower trade for Hallowe'en was not especially good, but a number of fine window displays were made in advance of that event. Various Notes. The Lamberton memorial conserva- tory at Highland park was opened to the public with elaborate exercises Monday afternoon, October 30. The greenhouse is filled with rare plants and show chrysanthemums, which will be on exhibition for some time to come. Arrangements have been made for a continuous display of flowers during the entire year. An attractive table decoration is be- ing shown in E. C. Campbell's window. It is laid in banquet style, with a min- iature lake, pond lilies and aquatic plants in the center and place cards, corsages and boutonnieres in proper order. F. J.

The wholesale market and the retail trade had good business last week. There were several weddings, recep- tions and dinners, which used up quite a lot of fancy chrysanthemums and roses; this, with a great deal of fu- neral work, gave the local florists one of the best business weeks since the season opened. This week, also, should be of some importance, as society will turn out largely for the horse show.

"White had an especially big call; in fact, any that looked good cleaned up daily all through the week. There is quije a nice lot of California violets coming in and . they sell at sight. Roses seem to Bell better than is usual at this time of the year, when mums have the call. Beauties are some- what scarce in all grades, but Rich- mond, Maryland and Killarney are ])lentiful. The latter is of extra fine quality. Valley, lilies and orchids are the other 'flowers that make up the daily supply. Smilax, ferns and as- paragus had a big demand all the week. Various Notes. George Weighman, a well known character around the wholesale district and always ready for any kind of work for the trade, received word that quite a sum of money was left to him, re- cently, by a relative who died in Europe. The premium list for the coming flower show of the St. Louis Horticul- tural Society was distributed last week. Entries are coming in daily and the competition promises to be large and the show the best one yet given by the society. August Schuerman, of the Schuerman Decorating Co., says they had a great many downtown window decorations as a result of the horse show this week. Miss Newman had some fine window decorations last week of fancy cut mums and other, flowers. George Madsen, of the Alton Floral Co., Alton, 111., says his firm is consign- ing a large cut of fancy mums to the W. E. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. Henry Emunds, proprietor of the West End Floral Park, Belleville, III., is cutting a fine lot of all the early varieties of chrj^anthemums. ^ The new store aad show house of C. Young & Sons Co., on Waterman ave- nue, is completed and the fixtures are being installed. William C. Young says there will be a formal opening, to which the trade will be invited. The Ladies' Home Circle held an im- portant meeting Tuesday afternoon, Oc- tober 31, at which arrangements were completed for entertaining all the visit- ing ladies who come to attend the flow- er show next week. Frank A. Weber, of the H. J. Web«r & Sons Nursery Co., says that they were never before so busy as this fall with shipping orders for all kinds of nursery stock. Sanders Nurseries, J. W. Schuette and Emil Rothenheber are also kept busy filling orders for both local and shipping trade. All the Kirkwood florists say that everything looks favorable for a good crop of carnations, sweet peas and vio- lets this season. The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold a regular meeting Thursday after- noon, November 9, followed by a ban- quet.

Bellingham, Wash.— The Kersey Flo- ral Co. has remodeled its heating plant and has fitted the boilers with an oil burner. Mr. Kersey says that trade is much better than at this time last year. He is cutting some excellent car- nations and chrysanthemums. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. There are threatenings of rain, and this would probably be the best thing that could happen to us at present, to start a general enlivening of business and curtail the excess of outside stock. Everything, with the possible exception of fancy stock, is at a low ebb as far as prices are concerned, and, after the beautiful, warm weather we are hav- ing, it will take quite a bit of the other sort of weather to put supply and de- mand right. Mums are the prevailing flower, and while they are not quite as plentiful as they have been in for- mer years, there is a full supply,, both of the inside and outside stock. Roses of the shorter stemmed quality are numerous and, thou^ the price is stif- fening, too many are brought into town for the stores to handle. Of fancy Maids and Beauties, only a limited cut- ting is shown. Violets are in good sup- ply and fair quality, and while not keeping as well as they will later, they move nicely. Dahlias and other hardy flowers are commencing to wane and will be things of the past in a short while. Orchids are in better supply daily. Smilax is in good shape and quite a bit is being used in wedding decorations, which have been well distributed among the stores for the last two weeks. Other- wise trade is quiet enough to suit any- one, and we are all hoping for a revival when the rain sets in. G. SAN FBANCISCO FLOWEE SHOW. The fall exhibition, given under the auspices of the Pacific Coast Horticul- tural Society, October 19 to 21, was one of the most successful shows ever seen here, both from a financial and artistic standpoint. Too much praise jean not be given to those who had the details in charge. Under the general manage- ment of A. J. Bossi, everything was handled with much dispatch and the comment of each visitor was that noth- ing better was ever carried out in any of the many San Francisco flower shows. The committee again wisely selected the Fairmount hotel for the exhibition, and. the throngs of flower lovers who lingered in the Norman hall from the first morning until the closing night indicated that th« popularity of flower shows is greater than ever and that larger quarters will be in order before long. Although one usually expects to see chrysanthemums overshadowing every- thing else at this season, there was such a big assortment of ' other beautiful garden and greenhouse products that over half the floor space had to be given to these. It would, however, be impossible to imagine finer mums than were displayed. The only fault that conld be found was the limited assort- CSLLSS The Golden Yellow Calla. Calla Ellioftiana.

ABE CLEUO, Grass Valley, faVh ment of varieties, which shows plainly that this flower is no longer cultivated in its inaTtty "varieties and colors as a garden or greenhouse flower. Only such sorts as are especially suitable for florists' work are grown now, and these do. not number over ten varieties at any one time. So in chrysanthemum exhibits there has been a degree of sameness for the last few seasons. The Redwood City Nursery Co., Domoto Bros, and Shibuya & Ishida were the principal growers and exhibitors of these and all received several first prizes for splendid specimen bunches. S. E. Slade received first for several giant specimen flowering mums in tubs. Of carnations the showing was not as complete, and the fact that they are not quite in their prime has to be noted. N. Yamaguchi, E. W. McLellan & Co., Kenneth Murray, Peterson ^ros. and Redwood Cityi Nursery carried off the honors on these. In roses, H. M. Sanborn Co., E. W. McLellan & Co. and Domoto Bros, had creditable displays and cliptured a couple of dozen first and second prizes between them.. Considerable attention was given to taMe decorations and A. Stein received first premium for his cockscomb idea, which, with the assistance of the hotel's cold plate, was much admired. H. M. Sanborn Co. received second for a table with pink decorations through- out. On baskets of flowerinjr plants, Peli- cano, Rossi & Co., Art Floral Co. and Emporium Floral Co. showed stunning effects that were much commented on, and all received prizes. In original designs, A. Stein showed an elaborate lamp and was awarded first prize. H, M. Sanborn Co. exhibited a spinning wheel and received second prize. In arranged baskets, the Francis Flo- ral Co., H. M. Sanb(»i Co. and A. Stein made beautiful showmgs and were each awarded prizes.

Pelicano, Boss! & Co. had a magnifi- cent showing of half a dozen large bunches of Minnie Burgle, Mrs. Kettle- well, Kaiser Wilhelm, Van den Daele and several other varieties of dahlias, which were awarded a first. H. Plath received many prizes for a general collection of ferns and for specimen plants of nephrolepis, pan- danus, adiantums and tree ferns. The Alameda Floral Co. received several awards on specimen ferns and also on a general collection. E. James made a beautiful showing of ferns, heath in flower, acalypha and Celosia Pride or" Castle Gould. In foliage and stove plants the Golden Gate Park and Gustavo Gagne made excellent showings. E. De Sabla received first on these and also on primulas, ferns, dracaenas, asparagus, orchids and crotons. S. E. Slade re- ceived first on outside roses, on potted chrysanthemums and adiantums. Miss Crocker showed several lots of ferns and cyclamens, all of which were prize winners. The largest and finest single exhibi- tion in the show was that of the Mac- Eorie-McLaren Co., who showed sev- eral hundreds of orchids, ferns, cycla- mens and gardenias, all artistically ar- ranged and each a perfect specimen of its class. This firm carried oflP all first- class prizes on the stock exhibited. G. PORTLAND, ORE. Business iihows a gradual increase as the season advances.

The week opens with sunehine and a temperature many degrees above freezing. If this continues, the com- bined shipments of roses, carnations and chrysanthemums this week will break all records. Comparing last week's record of prices with those of a year ago, we find them lower by twenty per cent. In fact, at times mid- summer rates alone enabled the whole- sale merchants to empty their boxes, and thousands of flowers, unsalable through accumulation, were sent to the dump. The retail demand is far be- low normal and apart froni funeral orders and a few dinners and weddings there has been no public buying worthy of the name. Perhaps the presence of the President may stir things up a bit. The funeral of Joseph Pulitzer will doubtless call for many expensive em- blems of family and public sympathy. Every department of the business seems to be prosperous, with the one exception of the cut flower trade, and it seems to be only in the city that the depression is pronounced. All florists whose places of business are near the cemeteries are busy and prosperous. No complaints come from the smaller cities near New York, but the big city itself is in the doldrums. The dahlias are gone. Slight frosts ended, last week, their longest season. The lesson to the grower is, ' ' Plant only high class varieties; there is no demand for the common grades."

All other roses, except the novelties, dragged discouragingly all last week and in large lots sold at the price the buyer offered. Carnations were over- abundant and in thousand lots declined to $5, There seems to be no scarcity of orchids and prices have been only steady. Fortunately the shipping and out-of-town demand grows yearly. A large increase in this class of trade is anticipated this winter. The oncidiuma M^ere never so abundant and perfe.ct as this season. Gardenias are imjdrroving constantly and the long-stemmed stock goes at $4 per dozen. Good lilies were offered at $3 per hundred and valley fell to $2. Violets must be perfect to command any reasonable figure; 35 cents per hundred was the general quo- tation on the good stock, but the street absorbed the left-overs at $1.50 to $2 per thousand. Shipments are increas- ing daily. : . Varions Notes. Wednesday, November 1, the chrys- anthemum show opened at the American Institute.

The first serious frost occurred last week and vegetation is now at an end. The mums have taken the field and the stores never looked finer than they do at the present time. Large and small mums are plentiful and the pompon seems to be in strong favor. This va- riety has increased wonderfully in the last year and is now replacing carna- tions and roses in the daily sales. It is also used largely for decorations. Soses and carnations are plentiful and fine in quality, but sales are short. Plants are in big demand, the leaders being mum plants and begonias. Various Notes. The flower business still seems to be an attraction to the other business men, as another store opened last week. This one, though not large, is attractive and in a good center, being located on Grant street, near Ferry. Mr. Frank, the Grant street florist, has added a conservatory to the store, to accommodate the stock it is now necessary for him to carry.

Seed Trade News. AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. PreB., Leonard H. Vaughan, Chicago; First VlcePrcs., M. H. Duryea, New York City; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Some of the best liked bedding tulips are pretty well cleaned up. Buyers are looking for Keizerskroon. Some of the catalogues will be re- duced this season, in size, in cost and in distribution. With such general seed shortage, it is a year for sailing close to the wind. The market on bouquet green is weaken- ing, partly because of open weather and partly because of the reluctance of buy- ers to take hold at the prices hereto- fore asked. The tendency appears to be for Eu- ropean seedsmen, nurserymen and bulb growers to arrange for permanent Ameri- can representation rather than to rely for business on the old expedient of an annual trip. E. A. KuNZ has purchased an interest in the former Rothenbush fruit and seed store, on High street, Hamilton, O., and the business will hereafter be con- ducted under the name of the Eothen- bush Fruit & Seed Co. At Portland, Me., Allen, Sterling & Lothrop have opened a new seed store at 49 Exchange street and 64 Market street. S. Coleman Allen formerly was with Kendall & Whitney, Portland. The new firm plans to do a general seed trade. The arrival of November means that t!le catalogue writers must begin to burn the midnight oil. Though some of the houses do not care to mail their books before the middle of January, the ma- jority think it important to begin a month earlier, at least for the southern lists. W. H. Geenell, Saginaw, Mich., in a letter dated October 24, denies that he is going out of the seed growing busi- ness even temporarily. "It is true I am selling part of my seed stock and it necessarily follows I cannot do the volume of business I did before, but I am still growing peas." It is said that when Mr. Grenell indicated to his cus- tomers that he would dispose of some of his stock seed, they promptly cleaned him up on the scarce items.

The same is more or less true of the orders from men. When it comes to those who garden understandingly, •f eoarae the stmry is different. The catalogue houses are having some diflBculty in deciding what to feature in the 1912 books. So many items are short that the ones to push are not easy to choose; the selections fall in too few classes. We have recently been advised by growers at Rocky Ford, Colo., that they had a severe snow storm in the Arkan- sas valley at Rocky Ford, Friday, Oc- tober 20. The growers also stated fully one-third of the cucumber crops were still in the fields. This may cause a serious loss iiv OMe the crops cannot be seeded, or if those that have been seeded become frozen in the pits. W, W. Baenabd Co., Chicago, is de- veloping plans for what is intended to be the finest seed store in Amei^ca. It is not news that in January possession will be had of the building on Madison street, now occupied by one of the Hearst newspapers, but it is interesting to note .that every day appears to add value to 'the location, on the direct route, but not too near, to the new Northwestern pas- senger station and the proposed new Pennsylvania station. While the plans for remodeling the building are being made with care, no less attention is being paid to the interior arrangements and fixtures. HOLLAND BULBS.

Psehnfeldt, the seed growing firm of Odense, Denmark, was established in a modest way by Ludwig Dashnfeldt in 1850. Like nu- merous American houses, he handled for many years everything connected in a general way with the nursery trade, such as plants, shrubs, seeds, etc., and it was only during the last twenty years that the nursery lines were aban- doned and all efforts were concentrated in the seed trade, especially seed grow- ing. That the firm now stands in the front rank among Scandinavian seedsmen is due largely to the energetic and effi- cient management of its affairs by the present chief proprietor, Chr. Dsehnfeldt, who for many years has been the con- trolling force in the business. Though included among the so-called self-made men, he is described as " a gentleman to his very finger tips." As his establishment grew in size and importance, Mr. Dsehnfeldt determined that each one of his staff of assistants ah— iM b» »« expmrt in some spceialty, and with that end in view he divided DANISH SEED CAULIFLOWER.

In c.ommenting on the summary of the world's seed crops, printed in the last issue of The Review, the editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle (London) said: "The year 1911 will long be remem- bered as one of the most disastrous seed seasons on record, not so much from the quality of the seed, but from the extreme shortage of many ctops. This great deficiency is not confined to any particular country, but is uni- versal; moreover, following, as it does, the poor seed harvest of the two pre- vious wet and cold seasons, nearly all seeds are this feftr particularly scarce and dear.

Holland and England. Germany and some parts of France seem to have suflfered even wqrse than England. Den- mark, on the contrary, has not sufifered so keenly. "The one redeeming fact is that what few seeds are or will be harvested are very good in quality. Sunshine is very necessary for maturing seeds of all kinds, and a good vintage year is sure to be a good seed year, but in the past summer there has been too little rain for the vines and for the seeds. The drought commenced in March, and the plants had but little time to get fairly established and well rooted before the struggle commenced. Still, some plants were able to live and produce very good seeds, although some- what smaller than usual. "The season has not only been a disastrous one for this season's seed- producing plants, but the outlook for next season is extremely bad so far as biennials and perennials are con- cerned, growers being unable either to get the seed to germinate owing to the drought, or to plant out what they managed to grow from seed, owing to the dry state of the land. "The harvest of seeds has been par- ticularly early, as crops have been hur- ried by the heat. In consequence, seedsmen are realizing the shortages of their crops some weeks sooner this year than is usual." IMPORTS OF SEEDS. The Bureau of Statistics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture tabulates the imports of seeds under the follow- ing heads: Import value 1010.

The flower is beau- tifully curved, but it is some- what difficult to give a correct Idea of the color. When it opens the petals are white and mar- gined or peucUed with pink to cerise. After two or three days the flowers change to a deep rose, and, unless one is ncqiiainter' with it it would not be recognized as the same Tulip.

LILIUN HARRISII (THE BERMUDA EAI^ER LILYJJ^ LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES "fHIS SEASON We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as r«|[ards both quality and price. The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow- ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order .io insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily btdbs are planted no fresh manure is used; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Hanisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk and when this is disposed of we shall have no more to offer. While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest^bur prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who offer tfie ordinary stodc gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. ^-t i Bear in mind that we were the ' original introducers of Hatrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional fadlltiarfor obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulra that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case) full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000 rfeRNS We have an exceptionally nite lot of ferns in the following varieties- g^od, bushy*weIl-grown plants that will please the most critical buyers.

Mention The Review when you write. A hundred-fitory office building is proposed for erection in New York City, to be over 1000 feet in height. A fifty-story one is now being con- structed two blocks from our office. These fine edifices are monuments to master minds of the present day. One thinks only of the height and magnificence of the building, but the principal part of such construc- tion lies almost without regard— the foundation. Just think of the % weight of a hundred-story build*- ing— better still, go to the top of a twenty-Btory one to think about it. The average man has no concep- tion of the immensity of the undertaking. The building is ap- preciated as an end without regard to the means. That's the way wi%' lily bulbs. A grower appreciates an excellent crop of flowers, but he seldom considers that the founda- tion of his successful crop was carefully laid in Japan or Bermuda by painstaking and patient bulb growers — men who love bulbs and their propagating. The best flow- ers always come irom the best bulbs. Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs are the best you can buy anywhere in the world. There are none bet- ter grown. They are cultivated and exported to support the high- est class of trade and to satisfy the most careless growers. There could be no surer foundation to success in lily growing than these bulbs, and you need them in your busi- ness. They are worth all they cost and more often more. Write us. RALPH N.

The Market. .,-».. . ■ t ' After the hottest summer known in forty years, we are having cool weather. For four months of continued heat, rarely getting below 90 degrees dur- ■ ing the day and 78 to 80 degrees at night, we have worked and worried, not knowing what the next day would bring • forth. Business of all kinds was de- I moralized and it was only by great ' eflEort that stock was pulled through * BuccessfuUy. Roses seemed to suffer the least. Carnations and chrysanthemums were affected most and it was only by continuous spraying that any growth was made and insects kept under con- trol, but the last few days have bright- ened things up and our troubles seem ended. Business, almost altogether in funeral work, has been good and is steadily on the increase. Chrysanthe- mums are eagerly sought after and at good prices. Carnations are in active demand, but quality is fair only. Eoses are the same. Various Notes. Outdoor stock is showing up fine with the advent of cool nights, but notwith- standing the bad season has grown re- markably well, owing to the heavy, re- tentive soil in which they are grown. In fact, no finer rose soil can be had anywhere than is found in this section of the state. Some varieties budded in July and August have made over four feet of growth.^ At the fair just closed, Paterson took all the premiums. Besides a handsomely decorated booth, there was a fine dis- play of decorative plants and a repre- sentation of a wedding decoration. Fall bulbs are beginning to be called for and the prospects seem good, as the heat destroyed large quantities of roses and other hardy plants in private gar- dens. The largest funeral ever held here, occurred last week, Paterson alone sup- plying 140 pieces. Azaleas have suffered considerably in transit, but may pull through. w. c. c. Dover, N.

WASHINGTON. The Market. The chrysanthemum show of the Ag- ricultural Department opened October 30, with a wonderful display of flowers. The greenhouses are beautifully lighted at night and throngs are enjoying the show. Business has improved with the re- cent frost, although there was hardly enough to kill the dahlias and cosmos. The celebration of Hallowe'en came to the florists' rescue. Chrysanthemums are coming strong and prices are said to be cheap, with the prospect of a glut on the market before long. There are plenty of pompons selling at $1 50 to $2 per dozen bunches. They take well. Some single, daisy-like mums of dif- ferent colors are attracting attention. American Beauty and Radiance roses, gardenias, etc., are fine and plentiful, but cattleyas are scarce and carnations are poor. The first Lorraine begonias, Cincinnati type, are being shown. Various Notes. Z. D. Blackistone expects to com- plete his store alterations November 15. His new windows are finished. Gode Bros, have a fall opening and flower show this week, the features of which will include smilax decorations, an electric fountain, festoons of electric lights, and a big display of cut flowers, with a Ponderosa lemon tree in full fruit as centerpiece. The Washington Florists' Club meets November 7, but will have no public show this year.

DETROIT. Various Notes. A whdle auto load of mums may be seen coming to the local market each morning from Thos. Browne's green- houses, and they are of excellent qual- ity, too. Robert Klagge, of Mount Clemens, sent in the first narcissi of the season Saturday, October 28. B^Schroeter was a close second with some Paper Whites on Monday. Thursday, November 2, the Detroit Florists' Club took its annual jaunt to Mount Clemens and was royally enter- tained by the Bath City growers. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange has made ample preparations to take care of the thousands of carnations shipped into this market by installing a most modern cooler. The box, which is 4x9 feet, was built by a local firm. It is BO arranged as to be cooled in cold weather by the outside atmosphere, thus greatly reducing the cost of main- tenance. The temperature will be kept continually at from 48 to 50 degrees. Many elaborate Hallowe'en windows Were to be seen in the flower stores this week, the most notable being a window in Breitmeyer's new store and one in B. A. Fetters' store. H. S. A correspondent who recently visited the greenhouses of Chas. H. Plumb, at 660 Newland avenue, states that he was so pleased with the condition of the houses and the stock that he feels compelled to give Mr. Plumb the credit of having one of the best and cleanest ranges in the city. The Pacific Supreme and Early Snow mums, the correspond- ent says, had good, stiff stems, from four to five feet long, with extra large blooms, fine foliage and good color. The pompon mums would be hard to beat. Mr. Plumb is also cutting some fine roses, chiefly Killarney, White Kil- larney, Richmond and My Maryland. His two benches of poinsettias are also first-class. Nashua, N. H. — E. J. Buxton speaks highly of the two carnations. White House and Qloriosa, and believes they will make good. His stock is in fine shape, bringing satisfactory returns. EUzabeth, N. J.— John White has as- sumed the active management of the buliness conducted so successfully by his father, and will combine with it an extensive landscape department.

HOLTON & HUNKEL CO., 462 Milwaukee St., Milwaukee, Wis. FtCntion The Review when you write WASHINGTON, N, J. Alonzo J, Bryan, who grows large quantities of pot plants and cut flow- ers, almost exclusively for the whole- sale trade, is planning to build several more greenhouses during the coming spring and summer. Though several thousand feet of glass have been added during the last year, every foot of space is occupied and more room is urgently needed. His stock, too, is in extra fine condition, especially his Chinese primroses and Primula obcon- ica, which are among his specialties at this season of the year. Heiias 100,000 or more rooted geraniums growing in 2% -inch pots and about ready for mar- ket. The stock plants of all kinds, which are planted outside in abundance during the summer, have been excep- tionally fine this season. The acres of cannas alone made a fine display and ca^used much favorable comment. Bahway, N. J. — J. R. Baumann makes a specialty of growing single and pom- pon chryfBJathemums for some of the principal metropolitan stores and finds the demand quite satisfactory. Trenton, N. J.— Carlman Ribsam has a fine stock of Pandanus utilis, which has become somewhat rare in decorative sizes, owing to a disease. A batch of his plants in 5-inch and 6-inch pots are perfect. Irvlngton, N. J, — E. Jacobi has added a mushroom cellar by tunneling under the houses and building with concrete. It is a good job and has proved a profit- able investment, the crops bringing a good average price. He has a model place and is ably assisted by his son. PRIMULAS, TERNS, Etc. Ferns for Dishes.

Can good results l:e obtained by the use of distillate as fuel with a sectional water boiler? What apparatus is neces- sary to use it and how expensive is it? Can crude oil be used as fuel without steam? If so, how? What appliances would be necessary and what would be the cost? H. A. N. In most sections distillate will be found rather more expensive than coal for greenhouse heating. In the case of crude oil the only safe way is to have at least one boiler in which steam is used. Though there are burners in which steam pressure is not used, these are less reliable and not as satisfactory as when steam pressure is available for spraying the oil. There are a number of forms of burners on the market an1l it will be well to obtain specifications and prices from the manufacturers. ABEA OF BADLATINQ SUBFACE. Will you please teil me the rating of the No. 4 Furman boiler? Please state, also, the number of square feet of radiating surface in the following pip- ing: Seventy feet of 3 1/4 -inch, fifty teet of 2- inch, 200 feet of 2 1/2 -inch, and 1.000 feet of l^/.-inch returns. E. L. We do not have a copy of the Fur- man boiler catalogue at hand and do not remember the exact rating of the different sizes. Our experience with snveral of the Furman boilers would indicate that they are well up to the rating of the manufacturers. The 200 feet of 214-inch pipe will give about 150 square feet of radiating sur- face; 1,000 feet of l^^-inch, about 500 square feet, and the seventy feet of 3^-inch and fifty feet of 2-inch about 120 square feet more, or a total of 770 square feet. PIPING IN BHODE ISLAND. I should like to have your heating ex- pert tell me the amount of lV4inch pipe that will be required to heat a house 14x65 feet. Please state the size of the flow and return pipes acd the best way to arrange them. I have a vertical boiler, seven feet high and thirty inches in diameter, with a firo- pot twenty-four inches in diameter. Will this boiler heat the house de- scribed and a smaller one, 16x24 and ten feet to the ridge, with two feet of glass in the sides and in both ends? The 65-foot house measures ten feet to the ridge; it has glass in both ends and two feet of glass in the sides. The side walls are all four feet high. I want a carnation temperature. J. C. H. The data regarding the size of the lioiler are not complete, but, judging This Will SaveYour Plants It gives Inetant warning when the temperature in yonr crrfenhouB» contict hands are set with the set-stud through the glass, one fi'r high, the < ther foi low, and, if desired, they will allow a variation of only two degrees.

For the larger house it is suggested that a 2-inch flow be run a foot or iwo under the ridge to the farther end of the house, and that five 1^-inch re- turns be placed on the walls, or a part of them may be under the benches if preferred. In the house 16x24 feet use a 1%-inch overhead flow and six 1%- inch returns. The return coils can start at the opposite end of the houses from the boiler and follow around on the walls, at a slight fall, say one inch in fifteen teet. There should be an air valve near the lower end of each coil and shut-off valves should be placed at both ends. HEAT FOK VIOLET FRAME. Will a return tubular steel boiler, 2x6 feet, heat more than my present house, which is 22x94 and twelve feet to the ridge? The house is three-quarter span, with 8-foot rafters on one side and 16- foot rafters on the other side. There are two feet of glass in the lower wall and a .5-foot board wall on the other side. Would the boiler heat a cold- frame, 6x90 feet, on the east side of the greenhouse? The frame is to be used for violets. The greenhouse wall would form one side of the frame. There are fourteen lengths of 2-inch pipe in the house; four of the pipes are used as flows and ten of them as returns. I grow carnations, lilies and potted plants. I am situated on a hill, with a bold western exposure, in the eastern part of New York state. A. O. C. The data regarding the boiler .is not sufficiently complete to give an accurtite idea of its capacity, but the present house is probably all that it can be relied on to heat. The house contains about 850 square jEeet of radiation, which is about all that a boiler with a grate two feet in diameter can carry economically. However, it is possible that the capacity of the boiler may be rather more than is required in the house described, and if the coldframe is to be warmed from the present boi^er| two of the pipes should be taken out of the carnation house and used for heating the violet frame. *" ZANESVIIiLE, O.

Ohio Mentiuu I'tie Kt-view wnen vou wnie BALTIMORE. The Market. Indian summer has increased the pro- duction of cut flowers far beyond the demands of the market. Dahlias are in oversupply, in spite of the fact that the retailers have taken hold with a will, displaying the finest varieties in their windows and showing them to their customers at every opportunity. The demand for dahlias has been large, the general public taking an unusual interest, but it would require something phenomenal to consume all the fine flowers produced with the thermometer at the midsummer point. Chrysanthemums, pink, white and yellow, have increased rapidly. Since they must compete with dahlias of such splendid quality, the price has fallen, though chrysanthemums are of mBch finer quality than has been seen for some time. Extremely fine stock is shown in the shop windows and at first commands high prices, which rapidly decline, however, as the dozens become hundreds. Carnations are coming in more plen- tifully, especially colored stock. The demand for colored flowers is larger, cleaning up most of the stock of good quality. Koses are showing up well; many growers are now cutting stems of good length and it is possible to find any desired quality. White Killar- ney shows the same improvement as the pink variety. Some fine My Maryland are available, but not in great quan- tity. This rose is not the factor that some expected it to be. Violets have put in an appearance. They are of unusual quality and show indications of an excellent crop. They are being grown in larger quantities this season. Ferns, also, are being more extensively grown this season and any number of the department stores are handling them. Boston and Scottii are most in demand. Araucarias are to be had in any size and meet with a steady de- mand. ^^ Q- Newark, N.

ST. LOUIS. The fifth annual flower show given by the St, Louis Horticultural Society opened at noon Tuesday, November 7, in the arena of the Coliseum. The over- head decorations of the recent horse show were left intact, which made a pretty effect for the plants and cut blooms below. The St. Louis park department had a large and handsome display at the south end of the hall, which attracted a great deal of atten- tion. The Betail Florists' Association had a large booth on the east side of the hall, in which the members made dis- plays each day. Ostertag Bros, deco- rated the booth the first day, staging two handsome dinner tables. A third table was by the Metropolitan Floral Co. In this booth the McCray Re- frigerator Co., Kendallville, Ind., dis- played one of its handsome florists' i)oxes and counter box. The Shaw premiums had a great many entries in all classes, but the cut flower display was rather meaner for tlie first day. The weather was fine, but the attendance for the first day was not up to expectations. The judges for the week are F. W. Unienig, ('. Bergstonnaun, R. F. Tes- son, Jolin Stcidk" and Jules Bourdet.

Philadelphia made a great stride for- ward in the flower show that was opened to the public Tuesday evening, November 7. Improvement was notice- able in every respect; in the arrange- ments made to please flower lovers, evi- dent on every hand; the show is well advertised — ^people know that it is go- ing on this week in Horticultural hall; it is beautifully decorated, not a mere display of plants and cut flowers in rows, but an effective arrangement. On the right of the lobby are two fine groups of single chrysanthemums, all seedlings of their own raising, from the Overbrook Gardens of Edward A. autumn queen and foliage, ,while to the right and left John Kuhn, of Olney, has handsome bunches of Yellow Chad- wick in cedar bark covered vases. Old members of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society hardly recognize the main hall, transformed by the skill- ful hand of William Graham. The walls are adorned with wild smilax, autumn foliage and Ficus pandurata; a balcony with chairs extends tlie entire length on both sides. The exhibit of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., fills the stage, screening the orchestra; it embraces all the leading foliage plants grown at Eiverton; the novelties were, Adiantum Farleyense glo- riosum, Nephrolepis superba and Cyrto- mium Eochfordianum. Opposite the stage Louis Burk has a large exhibit of orchids in a profusion of varieties and sizes, set off by ferns and lighted by many electric lights. Between the stage and this orchid exhibit are four magnificent groups that completely fill the center of the hall, each a complete collection of autumnal floral skill — fo- liage and flowering plants of merit grouped together happily. Against the balconies, facing these central groups, are varied exhibits of pompons and orchids. Lord & Burnham Co. has the center of the lower hall with a perfect model greenhouse, 7x16 feet, complete in every detail. The Henry F. Michell Co. has bordered this house with choice pompons. The Henry F. Michell Co. has its main exhibit opposite. It con- tains bulbs and sundries tastefully ar- ranged and surrounded by stock from Group at San Francisco Show Winning Gold Cup for MacRorie-McLaren Co. Stroud; this group is staged with care, each plant helping to form a part of a perfect group. On the right of the main stairway, Chas. F. Krueger has an arrangement of foliage plants and chrysanthemum blooms in beech bark boxes that is exceedingly rich. On the left, the De Kalb Nurseries of Adolph Muller, of Norriatown, Pa., display evergreens with winter berries in Im- perial chinaware vases. The landing is decorated with great mounds of the their trial grounds at Andalusia, Philip Freud's special pride. Next is the Henry A. Dreer store exhibit of tools and implements, made beautiful with wild smilax and other decorations. Thomas Meehan & Son come next with a fine exhibit of hardy pompons in pro- fuse variety. W. Atlee Burpee & Co. have an exhibit of single varieties of mums from March sown seed. Last in the galaxy of exhibits is Hosea Waterer with fine bulbs and fungicides. To sum up, the plants and flowers art fully equal to the best standard of pas years, in some cases a little ahead. Thi spectacular effect has never been sur passed. The Interest will be kept b^ fresh attractions each day, the man agement says, until the close on Friday Phil. STAMFORD, CONN. The first exhibition of the West Chester and Fairfield Horticultural So ciety was held at Stamford Novembei 3 and 4, achieving a success beyond the expectations of the most sanguine of the society's workers. Classes had been provided for chrysanthemums, roses, carnations, fruits and vegetables, and in all there were over 350 entries in the eighty classes. The Casino, where the show was held, was hardly large enough for so successful a show. The attendance was heavy both days. The principal exhibitors and prize winners were: W. J. Sealey, gardener to Charlaa Malloy, Portchester, N. Y.; A. J. Burns, gardener to Miss C. A. Bliss, New Canaan, Conn.; James Stu- art, gardener to Mrs. F. A. Constable, Mamaroneck, N. Y.; Alex.

Higgins, Mrs. Ernest Green and A, Whitlaw. Edward Holbrook offered a silver cup to be competed for between the garden- ers of the two counties. Fairfield county won, taking the most premiums. The cup was awarded to Miss C. A. Bliss, her gardener being the most sue cessful exhibitor in the show. The judges were Wm, Bussell, Mi) brook, N, Y.; James Ballantyne, Eidge field, Conn.; John G.

At Mount Airy. Pa., William Bain- bridge, whose face appears in a corner of the accompanying illustration, has had excellent success with Chrysanthe- mum Jeanne Noniu. This variety now has been in the trade for some years, and there have been a number of new sorts introduced as possessing superior merit on one point or another, but Mr. Bainbridge has not found anything that could surpass Nonin as an all-around commercial variety, though he thinks well, also, of Beatrice May. WOEK OF THE MUM SOCIETY. [Tlio addivss of Prcj-idoiit KliiiiT D. Smith nt llje aunual meeting of the Chiysanthemum Society of America at !?t. Ixjiiis, Xovember 8, 1911.] This is our tenth annual joint meet- ing and exhibition and, as we will soon be making history in a new decade, per- mit me to briefly refer to what has taken place since the Chrysanthemum Society of America was organized. This society was instituted at Buf- falo in August, 189C, and from that time until the first exhibition was held in Chicago, in 1902, the annual meetings were held in the summer, during tlie convention of the S. A. F. The estai)- lishment of annual exhibitions with executive sessions seemed to give the society new life. The Premier Accomplisliment, To my mind the most worthy and beneficial act the society performed dur- ing its existence was that of appoint- ing committees to commend such new varieties as they consider improvements and worthy of being disseminated. We owe much to these committees, which meet at intervals during the flowering season, at Boston, New York, Phila- delphia, Cincinnati and Chicago, to in- spect and pass judgment upon these new candidates. The unselfish devotion they have given in time and money to this work enables the society to point out to the buying public the best kinds for , their purpose. Their unbiased judg- ment is clearly set forth by the fact that the majority of the most popular kinds today have received their ap- proval. You may question the truth of this statement by citing some which have not come up to your expectations, but if you will scan the list of varieties now conceded as our best commercial sorts you will find the large majority have been certificated by this society through its committees. It is not to be expected they can determine such defects as are either constitutional or controlled by cultural methods, such as diseases, lack of fullness or difficulty of propagation. No mortal optics are so keen as to de- tect such blemishes from the six blooms submitted. Everyone interested in chrysanthemums should sing praise to these men, who so unselfishly and pos- sibly unconsciously have done so much to benefit us all. I 5oubt if many of us fully appreciate how general and far-reaching are the advantages we now enjoy and that this boon is largely Sue to the benevolent spirit of these com- mitteemen. Since their inauguration there has been a wonderful curtailment in the number of novelties offered. In 1893 there were disseminated 180 American and 130 foreign, or 310 new varieties were brought out in a single year. Under such conditions it was difficult to select the most suitable, and in those days, when there was no safe- guard against imposition, it was not un- usual for introducers to include varie- ties of little merit. Since the appoint- ment of these committees, in 1894, these numbers have been growing less year by year, until the offerings for the pres- ent are twenty American and fifty-five foreign, of which fifteen were certifica- ted by this society. And so I say, all do not appreciate what has been bestowed upon us. The introducers are seeking higher standards in preference to large numbers, and the purchasers, whether commercial growers, private gardeners or amateurs, have greater confidence in those kinds which are sufficiently meri- torious to pass their critical examina- tion. Membership Should Be Iiarger. Although our membership is slightly on the increase, rather than waning, the society has not received full value in return for this service given all lov- ers of the queen of autumn. We have received the hearty support of only a small portion of those interested in this important branch of floriculture. We have been unable to impress upon the many the importance and t)ur earnest desire of their hearty cooperation. As previously stated, the time was when the report of exhibitions was our chief guidance in making selections, but now the nuts are all cracked and the meats are placed before you. This one fea- ture alone should be of sufficient im- portance to secure the membership of every grower interested in the best and latest kinds. All the society demands is $2 annual membership fee, and I venture most of us spend this small amount in some frivolous way, without benefit to ourselven or to any worthy cause. It seems strange, with the vast number deeply interested, that so small a portion see they owe a moral obli- gation in supporting so worthy a cause. The Improvement of Varieties. W^e want your counsel and advice. We want you to assist in formulating new plans whereby greater benefit will exist. You can assist us. I mean all of you. If you grow but a few hun- dred plants, it is worth more than the paltry sum we ask to receive our an- nual report and feel you are associated with those whose endeavors are for the betterment of all. A brighter future, with greater achievements, will be wrought by putting into force the proverb, "Heaven helps them who help themselves. ' ' Just a few words on what has been accomplished during the last decade Wm. Bainbridge and a Bench of His Jeanne Nonin. 14 TheWcckly Florists' Review. NOVXUIBBB 9, 1911. toward improvement of varieties in this country. In 1902 our earliest white, Mme. Bergmann, was seen on the mar- ket early in October. Now we can have larger and better flowers in July, if desired. The same may be said re- garding the yellows. Pinks have not advanced in the same ratio, although Unaka may be had in fine form in the first week of October. We also have been given such good varieties as Dolly Dimple, Golden Eagle, Lynnwood Hall, Chrysolora and others, which show marked advances in their particular color and type. During the last few years equal gains are manifest in the exhibition section. Such newcowers as F. E. Nash, Lenox, Glencove and Morristown compare fa- vorably in size and finish with the im- portations. The limit has not been reached and if we progress we must have better qualities, for when we con- sider the qualities requisite for the best commercial and exhibition sorts, it does not take long to discern wherein most of them are deficient. In the commer- cials we might have better midseason whites; a good pink as early as Golden Glow; a type with foliage up to the bloom, to which some of the later pro- ductions are showing a marked tend- ency, and many of the exhibition varie- ties would be greatly improved if fo- liage could be supplemented for the long, bare neck, while others would add to the appearance of our exhibitions if their stems were stiflfer. While this society allows artificial supports, I predict the time is not far distant when this measure will be re- pealed. To my mind, those which can- not sustain their blooms are of slight consequence, regardless of other qualifi- cations, and artificial supports in all classes calling for vases of twelve blooms or more should be eliminated. Why should we encourage retrogression rather than insist that our standard of excellence shall ever continue upward f There are qualities other than size that appeal to the refined taste, and we should not forget that color and form are the fundamentals underlying beauty as Mature presents it; nor should we de- grade these two characteristics in our effort to increase size. Let us hope for greater achievements and focus our force and energy to that end, 80 that when the hourglass of time marks the closing of the next decade we will then realize how weak we are at the present. As a society we have obli- gations to perform. Let us all join hands in an effort to increase our use- fulness for the betterment of all. In union there is strength, and earnest endeavor leads to success. \.f*,. 3f * i > > > .A \ M f 5> \ f >^ ^ ,^; > /'"} "p^ *f ft C. S. A. ANNUAL AGBETINa. Officers Elected.

Totty, Mad ison, N. J. Vice-president — Wallace E. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn. Secretary — Charles W. Johnson, Mor- gan Park, lU., reelected. Treasurer — John N. May, Summit, N. J., reelected. It was resolved to push the work the society has done, in the next year, harder than ever. THE WORE OF H. B. FISHEB.

The cross, the lyre and the an- chor are designs that every florist is called on to make with frequency. • BULBS EATEN BY MOLES. Last year, when I took the covering off my bulbs, I found they had been nearly all eaten by meadow moles. I don't want that to happen to my bulbs this year. Can you tell me what to do to prevent it! I put the bulbs on the east side of the greenhouse and cover them over with ashes and leaves. J. J. K. Anchor by H. R^ Fisher, Maryiville, Kan. As meadow moles are so destructive with you, it would be much better if you stored your bulbs on the floor of a cold cellar. There is no necessity or good reason for storing bulbs outdoors, unless it is for want of space indoors for them. When stored inside they can be reached at any time, even in the most severe weather, something not always possible when they are pro- tected outdoors. If you have no cellar, closed shed or pit, utilize a coldframe and put sashes over them when the weather becomes severe. If you have no possible indoor storage place, all you can do is to use mole traps, standing these in their runs and examining them frequently. You should be able to build a framework of planks or boards to enclose the bulbs; these, if sunk down to the bottom of the soft earth, would probably keep out the pests. The best way, however, is to keep your bulbs under cover, where they can be cool; do not place them near fire heat. C. W. TO KILL MOLES AND BATS. What is the best way to kill moles and rats in the greenhouse? They are causing me a great deal of trouble. There are moles in practically every solid bed in the house. S. S. Keep one or two good cats around the greenhouses; they are better than poisons or traps for rats aad mice. For moles secure one or two of the sppcial mole traps such- as the Olmsted or Red- dick; the latter we find catches Ihem ~^:i-L._V..,.«l; NOTBUBEB 9, 1911.

Place the trap so that it is in their runs. There is little use of laying poison for them. You can poison the rats by mixing Eough-on-Eats or rat biscuit with finely chopped meat and laying it around, or making a bread sandwich of it. If you can stop up the holes thoroughly, pour a few spoonfuls of carbon bisulphide down each hole and close it up at once with soil. Carbide dropped down a hole, moistened and then covered, also suflfo- cates. Traps can be used, always being careful to cover them witb bran or chaff and to hold them over the fire after each rat has been caught, to take away any smell, as rats are suspicious characters. C. W. VINCAS FOR SPRING SALES. I have serious trouble with soil -and water. Our city water was originally caught in a pool, but there has been little rain for three years and it is now dry. The city has put in two deep wells giving plenty of water, but strong with alkaline soda — too strong for plants in pots, and the soil which I have used for sixteen years seems to be in the same fix, so I can no longer grow ferns in benches or pots. Is there anything I can do to counteract the difficulty t If so, please let me know. What is the best method of keeping flowering vincas through the winter from seedlings sown now, or when is the best time to sow for spring plants. A. D. H. Jr. It would not pay to carry over plants of the flowering vincas (V. rosea) under glass. The best plan is to sow seeds about the end of February in pans or flats in a warm, moist house and pot them off singly when of suffi- cient size. Grow them quite warm until well established in the pots; then gradually inure them to cooler treat- ment. I regret my inability to answer con- cerning alkaline soda in the soil and water. Perhaps some Texas, Colorado or other grower accustomed to similar soils could give some helpful advice. C. W. VIOLETS IN A FRAME. I wish to grow a few violets and I thought I might plant them under sashes at the south side of my carna- tion house. They would get full sun- shine there, and in cold weather a door might also be opened to admit some heat from the greenhouse. I have never grown violets and I should like to know what variety would be most suitable under the conditions described. Would field-grown plants be suitable? H. E. S. Violets will do well planted under sashes, as suggested. You do not state whether you want a double or single variety. If you want a double sort, Lady Hume Campbell is among the most reliable, »being more immune from disease than most others. If singles are desired, the best one for you will be Princess of Wales. This ranks so far above all other singles that it is really in a class by itself. Field plants are the best and you should secure them without delay. It is getting late for the planting of doubles, which are also less hardy than the singles. The latter should have a little frost before hous- ing, or they will make a strong leaf growth at the expense of flowers. The night temperature for Princess of Wales violets should not exceed 40 de- grees in winter. C. W. HYACINTHS. Can I leave single Dutch and Soman hyacinths in a cold bed outside all win- ter and do they need much protection 1 Also, please give the names of some late varieties of the same kind which could be kept to blossom for Decoration day. L. A. G. Both Dutch and Roman hyacinths can be kept in a cold frame if well pro- tected. The latter variety is naturally early and can not be held back as late as the Dutch hyacinths, which can be kept until the middle of April, but none of the hyacinths can be retarded until Memorial day. The Dutch hya- cinths, when in pots or flats, are not hurt by a slight freezing, but the Ro- mans must not be allowed to freeze. Cover them with a good laj'er of fine, coal ashes or sand and over this a thick bed of perfectly dry leaves. C. W. Bedford Hills, N. Y.— E. C.

Canterlniry bolls make superb -flower- iug plants in pots, usually of ex^llenee superior to 'such as are grown outdoors. It is time iTOw to lift and pot the plants, usiii'g G-iiu'h to 8-ineh 'pets, ac- cording to the size of the seedlings. The singles make the most desirable pot plants. Next to them comes the calycanthema or hose in hose type. The double-flowered ones are too heavy. Pink and pure white are the best sell- ing colors. Keep outdoors in an open, sunny spot after ]>otTing, placing in a coldframe before the wcatlier becomes too severe. House early in December for Easter flowefing. For Memorial day blooming, they must be kept cold and held back as much as possible, Even as cut flowers, there are few \ . rieties as generally useful as Canter- bury bells land anyone with a big batch at Memorial day wili coin money on them. ' Coreopsis Grandiflora. Coreopsis grandiflora is another jier- ennial, usually, however, treated as a biennial, which, while i)opular as a bor- der plant, has been but little appre- ciated as a jiot plant. Pot up a num- ber of strong roots in the same way as Canterbury bells. Keep outdoors for another month; then jdace in a coldframe and, in order to provide a succession of Ijloom, house a few plants every Aveek after Christmas. For Me- morial day flowers, jdace in a tem- perature of .■)(! to .").! degrees at night after Easter and they will be on time. As these are strong rooting plants, they require coj>ious water supplies when growing. If any bare benches are at disposal, plant out a batch and secure extra strong stems in abundance. Stevias. Stevias will do well in any house kej)t Just clear of frost, but in order to have a succession of blooms, a few pots should be placed in gentle heat, say oil degrees at night, each week. There is such a quantity of flowers in season through Xoveml)er that it is not well to have too many other miscel- laneous flowers. When mums are on the wane the stevias, bulbous flowers, and other odds and ends sell well. Llnum Trigynum. Aot much grown nowadays, the charming yellow flowering plant, Linum trigynum. is in danger of being lost altogether. It is true the individual flowers do not last long, but we have nothing of this rich orange-yellow color flowering when it does. In a tempera- ture of .50 degrees from this time on, the plants will be in excellent shape for Christmas, and anyone with a batch of them in 6-inch pots, carrying over a dozen flowers each, will have no trou- ble in disposing of them. The proper botanical name of these is Eeinward- tia trigyna, but the older name, linum, is nearly always used still by growers, Avho also prefer spira?a to astilbe, cro- tou to codieeum and dracsena to cordy- line, to say nothing of many other re- christened plants, whose new names mean but little to those who are not botanists. Biennials and Perennials. There are a number of biennials and ])erennials which, while hardy in many states, are not* so in others. This class comprises Canterbury bells, foxgloves, Coreopsis grandiflora, sweet-williams and a variety of somewhat tender per- ennials, including tritomas, Anemone Japonica, rehniannias and incarvilleas. The last named keeps well stored in sand; the others named should be |)lanted quite thickly in coldframes, soaked well with water and left ex posed to the weather until sharp frost hardens the soil about them, when a covering of dry leaves can be scattered on them, and sashes over these will provide an ideal winter protection. Summer Flowering Greenhouse Bulbs. ('loxinias and tulterous begonias, when they have lost their tops, can be shaken out of their pots and packed in boxes of sand for the Winter. Often we see them laid under benches in the greenhouses, the prey of sowbugs and other larvae and getting drip in addi- tion. This is a poor way to keep them, and a slovenly one. In the boxes of sand they will winter in any shed or cellar in a temperature of 40 to 45 de- grees; the gloxinias should have a lit- tle more warmth than the begonias. Achimenes can be laid away on their sides on a shelf, and later, when time permits, the roots can be picked out. Fancy-leaved caladiums will soon be losing their foliage; they should be stored in a warm, dry place for the win- ter; 60 depfrees at night will be found about right, and they are better left in the pots than shaken out. Foinsettias. The bracts will soon show on the poinsettias, and on and after that time the plants must not, on any account, receive any check";' 'A night tempera- ture of 60 degrees, or as near that fig ure as possible, will keep them growing nicely and develop the bracts well in season for Christmas. With shorten- ing days, water must be applied with greater care. In summer the plants seem to keep green, no matter how they are treated; it is otherwise now. Do the watering in the morning; this an- plies not only to poinsettias, but to all other plants. Use stimulants judi- ciously; an overdose means a complete loss of foliage, so it is always better to use moderate doses. Late propa- gated plants may still be made up into small pans and, if kept warm, will make neat little bracts. BOTH HAVE STIGMONOSE. Herewith I send you a few specimens of my carnations. You will notice that the leaves are spotted. Would you kindly let me know what is the trouble and how I can remedy it? P. C. M. I am sending you some leaves of ray Enchantress carnations, which are af- fected with some kind of disease that is new to me, and I shall be thankful for any information you can give me about the trouble. Tho carnations were planted in the latter part of July. The soil was top sod — three loads of soil to one of manure, and the plants are in the pink of condition for this sea- son of the year. I keep my beds moist all the time; by this I mean, not too wet or too dry, but ideal for carna- tions, and when I water I soak the beds through. I syringe but little, as there is no need for it, the plants being free from parasites. This disease seems to me to be a drying up of the fleshy part of the leaves, between the little skin on both sides of the leaves. When I bend a leaf and pull off the little skin, I can see that the fleshy part in various places is dried up. As seen in the benches, the leaves on the young growths show little blotches of white and look like variegated leaves. I keep the temperature as near to 50 degrees as possible, considering these warm nights. I notice that the growths seem a little soft. Any information you can give me will be thankfully re- ceived. • A. F. W. The specimens forwarded by both of these inquirers are badly affected with the disease called stigmonose. This is one of the most prevalent of all the carnation diseases, and while it is not infectious, like the leaf-spot or fairy ring, yet, if it is allowed to go unmo- lested, it will sooner or later destroy the vitality of your stock. In fact, it seems that most varieties, after they have served their time, become affected with this disease, which finishes them off. In many cases this disease helps to send a variety down the toboggan sooner than it% natural time. These light spots are dried-up cells in the leaf. These cells were destroyed by bacteria which were introduced through the puncture of some insect, such as aphis or thrips. You will per- haps remember some time in the past when your plants were allowed to be- come infested with one of these pests. j']:-^9i^^:^^-f'-T( ^^i^;:■■^^;•^^ "^^'i?- XOVEMBER 9, 1911. The Weekly Florists' Review* 17 The more numerous the insects were al- lowed to get, the more of these light spots you may look for in your stock in the future. So, you see, here is where that old adage, about an ounce of pre- vention being worth more than a pound of cure, comes true. After your stock is once affected with this disease, there is only one way to combat it, and that is through a process of elimination. You can not reach it through outside remedies, such as the spraying materials afford. In fact, you can do but little to prevent its appear- ance in your present stock. Growing your plants normally, avoiding all heavy feeding and, in fact, avoiding everything which will tend toward soft- ening the growth, should be your con- stant aim in handling the plants on your benches now. You can improve your stock for next year by selecting your cuttings from only such plants as do not show any of these spots. After they are rooted and potted, go over them occasionally and throw out those which show these spots. Only in this way can you hope to eradi- cate the disease from your stock. If there is much of it in your stock, you will not likely be able to clean it out in one season. It may take several years to do it, but if you keep at it you will be able to see an improvement each season. It is, of course, needless to say that you must keep the plants free from insects right along, else your work will go for naught, as they will inoculate the plants faster than you can cure them. In considering this disease one comes to another pertinent question, and that is: Will it pay to put several years of hard work on a variety which may have almost run its course? Consider this phase of the question before you begin, and satisfy yourself first as to whether the variety, after it is restored to health, will be as good as another one which may be free from the disease. Perhaps it would pay you better to dis- card the diseased sort at the end of this season and stock up with a new variety, which still has its full measure of vitality. A. F. J. B, WHAT IS BATING THE PLANTS? We are in trouble on account of some- thing' that is eating our carnations. We fir^t noticed its depredations about three weeks ago, on two plants that were growing side by side on a raised bench. A great deal of the foliage is gnawed off and is found lying on the soil. Thinking the pests might be mice, we tried the use of Paris green, in bread and milk, on cheese, and in wheat bran and milk. We also set two mouse traps, but thus far we have not caught anything. Later we got a rat trap, but still there was "nothing doing." For a while we thought the work of de- struction had stopped, but it has started again at two places in different parts of the bed. This section of Montana is a great country for mice, I am told, but the traps baited with cheese ought to get the mice. I have thought, too, that our unwelcome visitors might be moles, as we were bothered in the east by them. Can some reader of The Re- view tell us what to do? H. C. G. Bacine, Wis. — The new greenhouse re- cently completed by Clark E. Adams, on Washington avenue, has been for- mally opened to the public. J. Otto Thilow. • (New President of Uie Florists' Club of Philadelphia.) A START IN ESICAS. Kindly let me know how to grow and propagate ericas. Please state, also, what are the best kinds for the mar- ket. My location is southwestern Iowa. C. A. B. As ericas in general are not among the easiest plants to manage, a begin- ner would be safest in experimenting with but a limited number and in only two or three kinds. Briefly stated, the ericas require a peaty soil, hard pot- ting, good drainage and careful water- ing. They are propagated by cuttings made from young shoots about one to two inches in length, which should be planted in well packed sand in a propa- gating frame or box, where the light and ventilation are under full control. Bottom heat is not necessary for root ing the cuttings, and the plants, when once established, prefer a night tem- perature of 45 degrees. In summer the ericas should be placed outdoorF, the pots being plunged in ashes in order to keep the roots cool and moist.' Par- ticular care is required in watering, from the fact that the root system of these plants is a delicate one, and sub- ject to injury from extremes of dry- ness or moisture. Both species and varieties are nu- merous in the ericas, but three of the easiest to handle are E. hyemalis, E. melanthera and E. persoluta, and these three would come into bloom in succes- sion from October to March or April. The most troublesome insect pests that may be met with on ericas are red spider and thrips, but when grown un- der the proper conditions of heat and moisture and carefully syringed during the hot weather there should be but lit- tle difficulty from insects. One other peculiarity of these plants that may be noted is the fact that ex- tremely hard water is objectionable to them; that is, water containing an ex- cess of lime. W. H. T, J. OTTO THILOW. .T. Otto Thilow, the newly elected president of the Florists ' Club of Phila- delphia, is rapidly coming to the front in the floral affairs of the nation. Mr. Thilow is secretary of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia, has charge of the trial seed grounds at Palmyra and at Riverview, N. J., and on horticultural topics is a lecturer of unusual ability. Mr. Thilow 's early training was that of a florist at Newtown, Pa., a training that served him well when he joined William F. Dreer, J. D. Eisele, Her- bert G. Tull and their associates. Under the name of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., their fame is known the world over. Phil. Ballston Spa, N. Y.— A large new greenhouse has been added to the range on the John Schafer estate.

Cattleya Citrina. Cattleya citrina, commonly called the tulip orchid, is a sweet-scented Mexican variety, often purchased by travelers in Mexico. It resents warm treatment. In its native home it is found at quite a high altitude on the mountains and it succeeds best here on blocks of hard wood on which some fern fiber is fas- tened, if hung well up to the ventilators in a cool house and given no shade ex- cept in the hottest weather. The bulbs will soon be made up, when the water supply can be considerably reduced, in- creasing it as the flower buds begin to push downward. Vanda Coerulea. There are many failures with Vanda ccerulea, the lovely blue orchid, through its being grown too warm and shaded. Splendid dark green plants, which would win applause from anyone, can be thus grown, but they fail to flower satisfactorily. Unlike some other East Indian species, V. ccerulea likes plenty of sun and wants to be grown at the cooler rather than at the warmer end of the cattleya house. As the flowers start to expand, put them in a shaded place, so that the flowers will not fade out. Many spikes will already hav^ been cut from this vanda, but a con- siderable crop is now due and occa- sional ones may be looked for until after New Year's. After flowering, any particularly tall plants which have lost their lower foliage may be cut down. They generally have plenty of roots and soon recover from being cut down. A compost of fern fiber and fresh sphagnum grows this vanda well. Dendrobium Nobile. Dendrobium nobile and its varieties, also many hybrids, D. Wardianum and some others, will now mostly have their growths well made up. As fast as the growths are well plumped up, hang them in a cool, dry house in the full eun to be thoroughly ripened, as this is essential to successful flowering. Merely water sufficiently to prevent shriveling, but give them a spraying over on hot days. Already flower nodes are showing on some hybrids. These will flower in January, when orchids are much in demand. D. Fhalsenopsis Schroederianum. Dendrobium Phalsenopsis Schroederi- anum is one of the most graceful and satisfactory of fall flowering orchids. It is now producing plenty of its long, arching spikes of flowers. Some have produced twenty or more to the spike. For cutting, this variety is splendid. It does best in small pans or baskets, hung well up to the glass, and enjoys lots of heat and moisture, except after flowering, when it should be rested for a couple of months in a cooler house. The old form, D. Phalsenopsis, flowers later than Schroederianum, and the flowers are rather darker in color. It is useful at Christmas and lasts well into January. Cattleya Trianae. While Cattleya labiata has larger and showier flowers than C. Triariaj and may be depended on to furnish flowers for some time yet, it is on C. Trianae that we depend in the main for our cattleya flowers in winter. A few sheaths now have buds peeping in them and these should be out for Christmas, but it is in January, February and March that the real crop comes in. C. Trianse likes a little more warmth than labiata. Give Trianse all possiljle light from now on. It is in some ways quite often dis- appointing, making up handsome bulbs from which we look for three to five flowers, and the result is often a soli- tary flower. C. labiata never disap- points us in this way and it is rather a pity that the two could not change places, as labiata would be the finer winter variety. Seeing this can not be, we must raise hybrids In quantity, containing labiata blood, which will flower abundantly in the first months of the year. liselia Anceps. The Mexican Iselias, including anceps. autumnalis, Gouldiana, flava, acuminata and others, do not need a high winter temperature; 55 degrees at night should not be exceeded. All will have spikes now well advanced. They should have a good supply of water until the flower ing season passes. They should also have plenty of sun. Some of the earlier ones will naturally flower for Christ mas, but the majority come rather later. Hang the pans or baskets up near the glass, lowering them if the spikes touch the roof and giving them a cobler and shadier location when the flowers expand. NABCISSUS EMPEBOB. Will you kindly advise me througl your paper how to treat Natcissus Em peror? I have a good cellar to put them in. Should I cover them with ashes or should I put them in flats in three of four inches of soil, and set them on the cellar bottom? Anything you can tell me will be appreciated. C. A. The Emperor will do well in flats containing four inches of soil, two- thirds loam, one-third well rotted man ure and some sharp sand added. A cel- lar floor will answer very well provided there is no free heat in the cellar. If there is, you had better dig a trench outdoors where water will not stand. Lay five inches of cool ashes in the bot- tom. Then stand your flats over this; soak well with water and cover with a thin layer of ashes. Bains which may come will not harm the bulbs. As cold weather advances, cover with more ashes and a layer of strawy manure, over which boards can be laid. If you have a cool cellar, it will be better and more convenient than placing them out doors. C. W. PEAS FOB SUMMEB CULTXTBE. What are the best two sweet peas, in pink and white, for spring and summer inside culture where only five to eight feet of head room can bo allowed? The Spencer type of sweet peas is the best for late spring and summer flowering under glass. Countess Spen- cer, the original of this type, a charm- ing clear pink, and White Spencer, pure wavy white, would be an excel- lent pair of varieties to grow. Mont Blanc, pure white, is an earlier bloomer and also dwarfer in habit, but is not good after the early part of May. Watchung is another white, growing not over six feet high. While Christ- mas pink is a splendid midwinter and spring variety, in the warm weather you will find the Spencer varieties the best. C. W. GLADIOLI OB SWEET PEAS. What would you advise me to put in a house of roses that has failed! I have been thinking of putting in gladi- oli and sweet peas. What kinds and at what time would you advise planting t J. H. It depends on which flower meets with the best call with you. I think sweet peas would prove the more profit- able. They prefer solid beds to raised benches and want a generous compost with plenty of well rotted cow or sheep L.:?..*-, -«.-*i..r--,i:^* ^-f^'-^. '^' '- ^"^iVi - J^.'--^'- NOVEMBEB 9, 1911.

Good sorts which should be sown now are: Watchung, Mont Blanc, Christmas White, or Florence Denzer in white; Christmas Pink, Mrs. Wm. Sim, salmon pink; Mrs. Alexander Wallace, lavender; Flamingo, scarlet. Leave the seedlings ten inches apart in the rows to insure strong haulm and fine flower spikes, and run the night temperature 45 to 48 degrees. The higher figure should be maintained when they start to flower. It might pay to plant some gladioli in a part of the house. The sweet pea temperature would suit them. In large varieties, use America, Mrs. F. King, Augusta and Shakespeare. These can not be planted until December, but you can get bulbs of such sorts as Colvillei The Bride, Peach Blossom, Ackermanni, Blushing Bride and others of the small flowering or nanus tjrpe now. The lat- ter can go quite thickly in the beds or benches, and will start to flower with you about March 20. A soil which suits roses will do equally well for gladioli. ■ C. W. THAT THIN CONOEETE BENCH. I note in The Review for October 5 a description of the concrete bench built by Loyd C. Bunch and am special- ly interested to note that his bottom slabs are only half an inch thick. Is this correct? Can such benches, even if reinforced with expanded metal, be strong enough to support the weights put upon the average greenhouse bench? H. O. The one-half inch in thickness for the slabs is correct. I would say in justi- fying this thickness that it is not strong enough to get onto with a wheelbarrow or for a man to walk on. I use three stringers lengthwise of the bench to lay the slabs on. I use 1x4 common pine. Of course cypress would be bet- ter, but with the small surface exposed to drip, pine will last a long time. I set the outside stringers two or three inches in from the ends of the slab, with one in the middle. I find this is strong enough for a cutting bench and for standing pot plants in. I have not yet tried them for carnations, etc., where they carry soil, but am sure they will hold, for the load is even. A weight as heavy as a man standing between the stringers will bend the slab and crack it, but not break it entirely, be- cause of the metal reinforcing. I be- lieve a thickness of one inch would be strong enough to wheel soil over if the stringers were placed sixteen inches apart. The added expense for material for a slab one inch thick would be lit- tle. The advantage of this kind of con- struction is in the saving of time and forms to build them. Better drainage is also a good point in its favor. I believe the solution for a good con- crete bench lies in the proper reinforce- ment, more than in the seeking for bet- ter molds, etc. I use metal lath. There perhaps is better metal for the purpose than this, but I have not been in touch with a concern which has any to an- swer the purpose better. The only thing necessary to make this construction an ideal one in my mind would be to have metal made for the purpose. The mesh would do as well if twice as large as in the metal lath and so made that about three pieces of bar iron about ^x% or ^xi^ could be threaded lengthwise, on edge, through the metal. This would give it stiffness enough, I believe, for a half -inch slab to hold up any weight required, when supports were sixteen inches apart or perhaps more. With a reinforcement of this kind a bench could be made so cheaply and easily that wood benches would soon be a thing of the past. I would be glad to see any editorial comments on this method. We are all here to learn. Loyd C. Bunch. MIT.T.EPEDS. Will you please tell us what to do with some pests that are troubling us? They are a sort of thousand-legged worms, which are white when small and grad- ually get darker until grown, when they are dark brown and about one inch long. They get under the pots and do not seem to do much harm, except that they crawl up in the pots and eat the roots of some kinds of plants.* There are millions of little ones coming on. A. G. The pests in question are millepeds. While not greatly injurious to growing plants, they are a nuisance. Fumigat- ing with nicotine paper on two or three successive evenings will destroy most of them, with the exception of those beneath the pots, where the nicotine fumes may not jreach them. W. H. T. FLOBAL HILL GEEENHOUSES. On Wednesday and Thursday, No- vember 1 and 2, the Iowa Seed Co., of Des Moines, celebrated the completion of its new greenhouses by holding a formal opening. The firm has entirely rebuilt the plant during the last two years and has just finished eight fine new houses. The range, which is known as the Floral Hill Greenhouses, com- prises thirty-two large houses, and the Floral Hill grounds extend for five blocks on Thirty-first street, running from Kingman boulevard south to Cen- ter street. The opening was well advertised in advance, by means of circulars and newspaper announcements, and large crowds attended, in spite of the fact that the houses are six blocks from the street car line. One of the principal attractions was a large number of somewhat rare plants, such as are not usually seen in ordinary commercial greenhouses.

We are sending you some ferns which have been eaten by a green worm. We have used all of the remedies of which we have heard, but the pests still get on the plants and they are ruining all the new fronds. Can you tell me what is the best thing to do? J. F. C. Hand-picking is the safest remedy for these caterpillars on Boston ferns, and the best time to do it is in the early morning, for at that time the worms are likely to be still feeding. The worms could also be killed by thoroughly dust- ing the plants with powdered hellebore or with Slug Shot, but as these reme- dies do not wash off readily, they' are likely to spoil the appearance of the plants to a greater or less extent. W. H. T. SPORES, NOT SCALES. I am sending you some maidenhair fern. Can you tell me what to do for it? Every leaf is covered with brown scales and in time they all dry up. I have tried warm soap suds with a little am- monia water in it, but this does not help. C. H. The brown scales referred to in this query are not insects, but are the sporangia, or spore cases, beneath which the spores, or seeds, are formed; the latter being found in the form of brown dust when ripe. This is a nat- ural growth on the fern leaf, and the form and arrangement of these spore cases on the leaves of ferns are marked characteristics, by means of which the botanist is enabled to classify the vari- ous families of ferns. W. H. T. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. Business has improved considerably of late and the florists have the happy feeling that always comes after such killing frosts as occurred last week. During the greater part of the last ten days the weather has been cloudy and cold and the thermometers registered as low as 24 degrees on twD mornings. There have been several weddings and receptions, and mums were used chiefly for the decorations. All Saints' day was celebrated here on Sunday, Novem- ber 5, and an immense amount of mums, roses and carnations were used in mak- ing designs and sprays. Not much stock had to be bought, as most of it is grown here. Various Notes. Theo. D. Kuebler, of the Santa Eosa Fruit Farm, has been bringing in some good mums and carnations. The Black- man Floral Co. takes all his carnations and gets a large part of the mums. Mr. Kuebler had a yellow sport of October frost this season; a plant with four stems had one white flower, one fine yellow flower and two that were not so good. Mr, Kuebler has an automobile delivery and his place is about nine miles west of the city. Julius Niednagel & Sons were exceed- ingly busy in preparation for All Saints' day. Their business for this day is always great. They are cutting about 1,500 roses per day and have sale for all of them. Their shipping trade is increasing right along. The Blackman Floral Co. was espe- cially busy on Saturday, November 4. It is seldom that they are not busy. They have large daily cuts of mums, roses, carnations and green goods. The smilax is extra fine, the strings being long and heavy. The mums sell as fast as they are brought to the store, $3 per dozen being the best price so far. T. L. Metcalfe, of Hopkinsville, Ky., has opened a store at 210 Upper Fifth street, in this city. On Saturday, No- vember 4, Mr. Metcalfe was here for the opening. William Hewick has been en- irarVERY now and then a well- IL9 pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of brin^^ing a new advertiser to ifVP^ Such friendly assistance is thoroughly appreciated.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 530-60 Cazton Bldg. Chicago gaged as manager and lives here. Mr. Metcalfe has large establishments for the growing of stock at Hopkinsville and Madisonville, Ky., 6,000 feet of glass at Clarksville, Tenn., and a store and greenhouse at Jackson, Tenn. He also operates three laundries. He was a printer, by trade, but has given it up for his other enterprises, only doing his own printing. For his opening he had a large stock of mums, roses and carnations from his plants at Hopkins- ville and Madisonville. For decorative plants he had palms and ferns. The store is only a few doors from Main street. The first day 's business was satisfactory. J. C. Elsperman is cutting some fine mums and has lots of them still to come. His trade for All Saints' day was im- mense, but he had plenty of flowers this year, while last year he was short of stock. Louis Fritsch is putting up another small house, doing the work himself, with the help of his father. His carna- tions are fine. Ben Kramer is using lots of mums, roses and carnations. He gets most of his stock from Otto Kuebler, of New- burg, Ind. Karl Zeidler was extra busy in the last week of October. He returned from his fishing trip on the Wabash and says that some fine bass were caught. Mrs. Henry Seymour is out of the hos- pital and at home. She is improving slowly. Eoyston & Fenton say that the mums hurt the sale of roses. Their roses are going off crop now and they look for a good Christmas crop. Miss Nellie Goodge is improving in health steadily. She has a nice cut ot mums. Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago, was here calling on the trade November 6. E. L. F. OBITUARY. Norman J. Coleman. Norman J. Coleman, secretary of agriculture in the cabinet of President Cleveland, died November 3 in a sleeper on a Wabash train bound for St. Louis. He was 84 years of age. Mr. Coleman's first business connection was when he started a nursery in partnership with C. C. Sanders, of St, Louis, the firm be- ing Coleman & Sanders. In 1882 he was president of the American Association of Nurserymen. Perhaps his widest fame was as editor of Coleman 's Rural World. Elijah Huftelen. Elijah Huftelen, known to many in the trade as a grower of hardy lilies, died at his home, near Le Roy, N. Y., October 26, after a brief' illness, brought on by the general infirmities of age. He was born near Le Roy, April 25, 1838. In his youth his educa- tion was limited to the common school branches, but later in life he entered Starkey Seminary and became profi- cient in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He was successful as a public speaker and as a writer for the press. He was well known locally as an importer and ex- porter of bulbs and plants and his lily farm was one of the attractions of the neighborhood. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Louisa Fisk, of Morgan- ville, and Mrs. Ellen Bushman, of Staf- ford, and by one brother, Adelbert Huftelen, of Le Roy. He has been suc- ceeded in business as a grower by Geo. C. Richmond. John J. Murphy. John J. Murphy died at his home at New Castle, Ind., October 28. He was formerly employed by Julius Niednagel, of Evansville, Ind., but at the time of death was with the South Park Floral Co., New Castle. Springfield, Mass.— L. D. Robinson, Jr., claims to be the largest grower of bulbous stock in the city, most of which is disposed of over the counter. J. W. Adams & Co. report an excellent fall season for nursery stock, and have some big orders ahead. 'f^'yifff' ■■(■■,., ,■■-<■ NOVEMBEB 9, 1911.

The flower business will be car- ried on under the name of the James & Nelson Floral Co. Kewanee, HI. — Hamilton & Plummer gave away six ferns on a recent Satur- day to a like number of persona who had registered opposite lucky numbers during the week, at the greenhouses. All visitors were asked to register and each name was numbered. The num- bers were then shaken up and six were drawn out, thus determining who were the winners. Oraild Bapids, Mich. — Alfred Hannah has built two houses, 30x100, for his son to grow vegetables in. He will start with a crop of radishes, followed later with lettuce, and then cucumbers. The vegetable growers in Grand Bapids did well last year. The Grand Rapids Greenhouse Co. has gone back to vege- table culture in a part of its place and ■ has given up the growing of roses and carnations. Champaign, 111. — George B. Franks and Miss Jeanett Styles were married last week at St. Louis. Mr. Franks is the son of Thomas Franks, with whom he r& engaged in business as Thomas Franks & Son. He is not only one of the most widely known of the florists of central Illinois, but, unlike the prophet, has honor in his own home, for t'} is alderman for the Third ward and a member of the commission in charge of the recently created township park •district. Marietta, O. — The Marietta Floral Co., organized last May, has been re- modeling its greenhouses on Muskingum Drivf, and the completion of the im- provements was recently celebrated by means of a formal opening. The open- ing had been prominently announced in the newspapers and was well at- tendsd. The firm has also opened a . downtown store at 121 Putnam street, • which is in charge of Mrs. E. C. Holz. The officers of the company are: Presi- dent, O. Brent Gard; vice-president, Charles Penrose; secretary, B. A. Plu- mer. W. S. Plumer and J. A. Gallagher jilso own stock in the conoern. Des Moines, la. — W. K. Fletcher, who was confined to his home by rheuma- tism and other ailments for several weeks, has now recovered.

Dubuque, la. — G. A. Heyne reports that he has withdrawn from the retail florists' trade, as the greenhouses for- merly conducted by him» have been taken over by the park commissioners, to be used for park purposes. Charleston, S. C. — Frank W. Kummer, formerly with the Carolina Floral Co., has opened a store at 303 King street and has named it the Arcade Floral Shop. It is just opposite the new Arcade, in the heart of the retail sec- tion. * Alton, HI.— The interests of J. F. Ammann in the flower store on East Fourth street have been sold to George Madsen, of the Alton Floral Co.

Krohn, has leased a store downtown and will open in first-class style in time to get the Thanksgiving trade. Laramie, Wsro. — Bert Clippinger is planning the erection of greenhouses here, for commercial purposes. He pur- poses to build two houses, each 22 x 50, at once, and three more houses of the same size a little later. He will use one house for roses and the others for carnations and general stock. Cromwell, Conn. — It apparently has thus far escaped comment, but should be a matter of record, that a son came a few months ago to the home of "Wal- lace R. Pierson. It is said that the boy will in the course of time adopt his father's profession, taking up the de- tail in the establishment of A. N. Pierson, Inc., just as his own father came to the assistance of the grand- father. New Castle, Ind. — "Wm. Dittman is in a sanitarium taking treatment for a nervous breakdown. Le Boy, N. Y. — Geo. C. Richmond is successor to Elijah Huftelen as a grower of hardy lilies. Mr. Huftelen died October 26, at the age of 73 years. Irondequoit, N. Y. — Edward Brock- man, who added a Lord & Burnham house to his range during the summer and grew an excellent crop of carna- tions in it, has now placed an order with the same firm for another house. Passaic, N. J. — Mrs. May McAllister will shortly vacate the premises she has occupied for twenty years, to occupy a new store, with a conservatory at- tached, to be located in the center of the city. The King Construction Co. will furnish the material for the green- house, and everything will be strictly up-to-date. Merriam, Kan. — E. T. Heite has an- nounced his retirement from the firm of E. T. Heite & Son. The son, "W. R. Heite, will continue the business. The young man is making extensive altera- tions in the greenhouses, tearing down and rebuilding some of the oldest houses and considerably increasing the total area of glass. Morrison, 111. — The new cucumber house of the R. R. Davis Co. has been completed and planted. The house is 40x411 feet, with concrete construction in the foundations, walks and beds. A new eighty horse-power boiler has also been installed. This town ranks high in the extent of space under glass. In- cluding the new cucumber house, the Davis Co. has 150,000 square feet of ground under glass, and the C. D. Gal- lentine Co., also of this town, has a glass area of 130,000 square feet. Fond du Lac, Wis. — Haentze Co. has repaired the damage sustained as a re- sult of the boiler explosion October 30. The loss will amount to about $1,500 on boilers and buildings. The loss on stock will be the check on five benches of roses. After a careful investigation it was found that the boiler next to the one that exploded had cracked first and let the water out of the system, causing it to raise steam, causing the explosion. They say this has been the fourth time that one of these boilers has cracked in the same place. They have plans for an addition to the plant, three houses 21x 274, all iron construction with concrete walls. Mason City, la. — Kemble & Goodman, who already have prosperous establish- ments at Marshalltown and Oskaloosa as well as here, are now starting a branch, also, at Bogse. The business here is under the personal management of F. C. Goodman and is ideally located on the commanding site of Lyon's park, on South Main street, with ample acre- age for all needs. Two new greenhouses have been added to the local plant dur- ing the present year. A downtown agency is also maintained at the Da- mon-IjfDu store. Mr. Goodman is now building a residence, of handsome archi- tectural design, west of the greenhouses and facing Main street. ■Jj yw^p^^;;- 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOVBMBEE 9, 1911.

Printed letter-heads are so cheap that it is an extravagance to do without them. The two most' popular pompon mums in the middle west are Diana, white, and Klondike, yellow. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. Swinging around the circle of the western flower shows, President-elect R. Vincent, Jr., of the S. A. F., is following the precedent set by other presidents in his neighborhood, getting in touch with the people. WHEN THERMOMETERS DIFFER. Can some reader of The Review en- lighten us on the thermometer ques- tion? We find that our thermometers disagree, registering from 2 to 15 degrees apart, either in hot water or while hanging together in the same spot. We have many different kinds, mostly colored so as to be easily read at a distance, but we have no way of knowing which one, if any one, is right. We have bought high-priced ones and cheap ones and find that the more cost- ly ones vary about as much as the oth- ers. Each season we have bought a new one with which to test the old ones, and for this purpose we select one from a dozen or two, choosing the one that registers the farthest from the two extremes. Yet, only a short time after testing and marking all our col- lection of thermometers, they all begin to vary again. Though "children of one family," as in the nursery rhyme, yet they do not agree. We also find that some thermometers register slowly; hence, though we may look at two or more of them now and find the readings several degrees apart, if we look again in a half hour w'e may find that they agree, or nearly so. What kind of thermometers do you other florists use, and how do you know what the temperature of the room is when you do look at the thermometers? John Tenbrook. THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION. On account of the late season for harvesting and the inability of mem- bers to attend, the adjourned meeting of the Western Dahlia and Gladiolus Association, of August 5, that was called for November 15 at the Sherman House, Chicago, will be adjourned till Friday, December 15, at The same time and place. An exhibition of bulbs will also be held in connection with the meeting, in some appropriate place to be decided later. An evening meeting is also planned, at which papers on in- teresting topics connected with the busi- ness will be offered. The program will be published in full in Bulletin No. 2 of the association, about December 1. All growers are cordially invited to attend. E. S. Thompson, giec'y. H. W. Koerner, V.-Pres. and Chairman. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The week now under review was not so lively as the one preceding — it lacked the stimulus of the big ' All Saints' day demand from the south — but it made, nevertheless, an excellent record compared with what is usual in the first seven days of November. City trade is not especially strong as yet, consisting largely of funeral work, of which there has been a great deal at times, but shipping business is active, showing that the much discussed vol- ume of greenhouse building at outside points has as yet done nothing to cir- cumscribe this market; the increase in glass has not equaled the outside in- crease in demand. Prices barely have held the advance made a fortnight ago. Short Beauties and short roses are scarce, but of other stock there has been enough, though with little to spare. Supply and de- mand have been pretty well balanced; not so strong demand as the whole- salers like, not so large supplies as re- tailers prefer to see. Chrysanthemums have come in heav- ily* yet there has been no glut. Visit- ors here say Chicago mums are ten days ahead of those of other sections. High prices have not been made, but good average figures have been realized thus far. The growers are pushing the mums in as fast as they can, to replant with sweet peas. Pompons are more plentiful than ever before. Beauties have been doing firSt-rate, considering that it is the middle of the mum season. The quantity is fairly large, the quality generally excellent. Of the other roses, the range of choice is large; never has the market offered so many varieties. There probably are as many Killarney and White Killarney as all other varieties combined, but Maryland is offered in considerable quantity. Ward is the one the buyers take on sight; "the ladies have given it a splendid welcome in the retail stores i^^.^:^'; ■:..k;':.^>».^.^,^.^' --isfaa. ■■.^a^tq!^ ^^^i^m November 9, 1911. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 23 A BIG SUPPLY OF FANCY KILLARNEYS Specially Strong on MEDIUM Stems We want to hear from buyers who can use a first-class grade of Killarney and White Killarney in quantity. We have a big crop on, mostly Medium stems. Buyers who know the market recognize that, length for length, our Killarneys carry the finest heads of any roses to be had. That's why we always get repeat orders from the out-of-town buyers who try our stock. £*oT,7le VIOLETS We handle the cTeam of the doubles— the " specials" now offered here are quite in a class by themselves. Also can supply fancy, fragrant singles. CATTLEYAS These Cattleyas are all right, and you will ask for more of theni if you order some today. None finer. Can supply by the hundred. CARNATIONS The time is rap:dly approaching when the call for Carnations will in- crease rapidly. Out-of-town buyers should remember that they cannot pos- sibly give satisfaction if they use low-grade Carnations— also that year after year we handle the largest lot of strictly high-grade Carnations that is to l>e found on this market. The stock never was letter than it is this season. MUMS BEAUTIES The color is unusually high, the flowers are large, the substance is there and stem and foliage are all anyone could ask. Order VALLEY of Us If you have had any difficulty getting your Valley orders filled, it was because you didn't order of us. Always plenty of Fancy Valley here. All the finest late varieties are here in quantity. Scarcely any limit to our supply. All sizes, all colors. Send along your orders.

The average quality of the roses is excellent, some of the extra long ex- hibition grade being so good it is hard to sell at the figures it should bring. Carnations have not come in heavily and have cleaned up in good shape at moderate prices. Violets have been in only fair supply, mostly of good qual- ity, but have not maintained their prices. It is said the arrivals Novem- ber 4 were about forty-five boxes of eastern stock, about 100,000 violets, surely not a great quantity for a pleas- ant Saturday, but the bulk of the sales were $4 to $6 per thousand; they usu- ally are good for $7.50 at this date. Orchids from the overstocked east still hold down the price of fine local cattleyas. Valley is abundant some days and scarce the next. Bpuvardia, gar- denias, etc., being in small supply, sell well. Greens of all kinds are plentiful and are selling steadily, all except smilax, which has been an erratic performer for a Ion** time. October Weather. The temperature last month was about normal, although the first frost occurred October 24, about nineteen days later than usual. The rainfall was well distributed and exceeded the nor- mal by 1.24 inches. The chief charac- teristic of the month was the unusual amount of cloudiness, there being only forty-seven per ctent of possible sun- shine as compared with the normal, sixty-four per cent. Club Meeting. An account of the novelty show of the Plorigts' Club appears on another page of this issue. Following the staging of the show November 2, the club held a session mostly given to expression of opinion, for little business was done. There, were fifty-five present when the meeting opened. E. 0. Orpet, of Lake Forest, was elected to membership, as were Richard Schmidt, 4911 Quincy street, and John Huebner, 11 West Randolph street. B, Zima resigned, being out of the trade. The following were pro- posed for membership: W. F. Kasting, Buffalo; Charles J. Bond, Naperville, 111.; Louis Lickenger, Andrew Benson, Edward Toeple, Guy French, Tony Ga- ble, Richard Salm, all of Morton Grove; J. B. Foley, Isaac Cassidy, E. H. Gale, Charles Erne and A. Vanderpohl. A list of delinquents contained the names of fifty-seven. The trustees were in- structed to make one more effort to avoid the necessity of dropping the * ' pickles. ' ' Visitors were more than usually nu- merous and included E. G. Hill, Rich- mond; W. R. Pierson, Cromwell; H. E. Kidder, mayor of Ionia, Mich.; H. Roth, Lafayette; Robert Groves, Ad- ams, Mass.; E. O. Orpet, Lake Forest; C. J. Bond, Naperville; Sam Seligman', New York; S. B. Lundy, San Franciscoj and others. Mr. Hill made one of his characteristic speeches, Mr. Pierson told some splendid stories and Mr. Roth and Mr. Groves each talked interest- ingly. Various Notes. The United Fertilizer Co., to take over the business of the D. D. Johnson Co., filed incorporation papers at Spring- field, November 1.

Amling Co., where they attracted much attention; the Smith chrysanthemums were with the Chicago Carnation Co., and the Vaughan and Hartje & Elder displays were with the J. B. Dea- mud Co. Fleischman published, November 4, probably the most costly advertisement ever used by a retail flower store. It occupied three full columns of the Trib- une, 900 agate lines^ supposed to cost about 35 cents per line. Peter Reinberg is chairman of the committee of the city council charged with the enormous task of solving the traction problem. The committee is planning a subway to take all street cars and elevated roads oflf the down- town streets. The Leslie Floral Co., on Randolph street near State, closed November 1. It is said the rent was $250 a month. Among the recent visitors were George B. Franks and his bride, from Champaign. J. A. Budlong tried 250 plants of Carnation Bonfire this season and is well pleased. It will be planted in quantity next season. I. Krohn, of the Morris Floral Co., Morris, 111., has been in the Presby- terian hospital, Wood and Harrison streets, for three weeks, and i&^etting lonesome. T'^. E. G.

It included Killarney Queen, Double White Killarney, Ward, Bul- garie, Killarney and White Killarney in quantity to jilant the new range of ten big houses. Wendland & Keimel think it cheaper to buy young stock than to sacrifice the cut necessary to do their own jn-opagating, 38,000 plants. Wintersou *s Seed Store took in a car- load of Boston ferns one day this week. Martha C. Gunterberg for a week has had so bad a cold she could scarcely speak, but has stuck to business. Charlie Erne is laying plans for a start in business for himself. The new employees' rooms that are being partitioned off above the storage room at the Edgebrook greenhouses are rapidly nearing completion. Otto Witt- bold expects to put a billiard and pool table in the center hall, to afford amuse- ment for the men in the evenings. Cards and card tables will also be provided. The Pulverized Manure Co. is putting out Wizard Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure and Wizard Brand Concen- trated Plant Food in small packages for the retail trade. Heretofore these products have been sold only in quanti- ties for the use of growers, but the new style is to meet the demand for an article for retailers to sell for use on house plants. Herman Wendland, of Wendland & Keimel, and W. E. Trimble, of Prince- ton, 111., recently returned from a hunt- ing trip with a fine bag of mallards and other ducks. Phil Foley regretted being in the east at the time, as he had expected to be one of the party. However, he had the pleasure of sam- pling the fowls on his return and says the birds and the cooking were both excellent. Mrs. K. N. Cooper, manager of the Auburndale Goldfish Co., has been con- fined to the house with a severe attack of bronchitis. P. Weiler, president of the Superior Machine & Boiler Works, made an auto trip to Wisconsin last week to close his summer home. Both Henderson & Co. and Winter- son's Seed Store report being well cleaned up on the season's bulb impor- tations. Weiland & Eisch say that every week that passes adds to the number of Mel- ody's friends. Hoerber Bros., Des Plaines, are tak- ing all the wood they can get from their new rose, Wilhelmina, for propagating purposes. It is not generally known that the rose is named for the mother of the members of the firm. Among the Chicago visitors at the St. Louis show this week are George Asmus, C. W. Johnson, A.. T. Pyfer, H. E. Philpott and Fred Lautenschlager, the latter swinging around the circle of the flower shows, going from St. Louis to Cincinnati, Detroit and Mil- waukee. Frank Johnson is back from a week 's trip south for the A. L. Eandall Co.

Bassett & Washburn have a double sport of White Killamey on which they are working up stock. C. M.

George Baer, Toledo, has begun his annual shipments of Bonnaffon mums to Kennicott Bros. Co. J. C. Meier, of Meier Bros., Niles Cen- ter, recently was elected a member of the board of directors of the Chicago Flower Growers ' Association. He had previously been acting with the board. The building in which John Mangel's store is located, corner of Wabash ave- nue and Monroe street, is to be torn down in the spring to make way for a skyscraper. It is reported that Mr. Mangel has made arrangement with Harry Rowe, whose store is in the same block, which protects him against being without a home when moving day comes. George Eeinberg is cutting Eich- monds from the section that was hit by the cyclone. The Star Floral Co., Wilmette, is sending Kyle & Foerster a large cut of Killamey s and Marylands. F. M.

All Saints' day, November 1, goes on record as one of the best, as far as the selling out of all cut flowers on hand is concerned; yet the amount of money realized by many of the wholesalers and retailers did not come up to that of some previous years. Chrysanthemums were not only scarce, but left much to wish for in quality, in comparison with last year's crop. The local wholesale growers raised the prices to some ex- tent, and to make up for the deficiency of the home-grown stock, Chicago alone shipped a carload of flowers, including mums, roses, carnations, valley, etc., and cut greens, such as Asparagus plu- mosus and fancy ferns. The weather up to a few days before All Saints ' day was threatening and the bulk of the orders came to many of the florists at the last day, which naturally caused a great rush in filling them. All the florists engaged extra help to work for a day and a night. The day was surely an ideal one for the great multitude of people of all classes who carried flowers to the last resting places of their departed loved ones. All the cemeteries were thronged from early morning until sundown. Various Notes. Following are the comments of some of the florists on the All Saints' day business : Abele Bros. — Our large stock of home- grown mums sold out to fill orders; mostly in bunches. A. Alost. — Sold out completely at fair prices. Peter Ch«pin. — Best, day since I started in business; nothing left. Louis Buckner.— «]very flower on hand went in a rush. J. W. Bierherst. — Did a large busi- ness, with both home-grown and north- ern flowers. M. Cook's Sons. — Our home-grown stock and a big Chicago shipment sold out by noon. Mrs. Francis Qruaz. — Sold out'com- pletely; best day in years. J. F. Dubois. — That immense stock I had grown sold out at fair prices.

The Frank Floral Co., which has an ' attractive new store, located at 303 Bourbon street in the business center of the city, had a formal opening on All Saints' day. The place was hand- somely decorated and a large and fine stock of all kinds of fresh flowers and artificial and metal designs was on hand. Frank J.

Business con- tinues to increase as the season ad- vances. , Hallowe 'en created an extra demand for flowers, especially yellow. The social calendar contained for last week only a couple of debutante af- fairs, and a wedding or two, with few dinner parties, so naturally there was not such a demand for dinner decora- tions, etc., as in the weeks previous. November 4 Chicago played Minnesota, and the great football event called for a large number of maroon chrysanthe- mums, each team having maroon in its colors. Various Notes. The Minneapolis Social Florists ' Club met Tuesday evening, November 7, at the store of Rice Bros. Donaldson's department store had a fine display of cattleyas in one of the Nicollet avenue windows last week. Lyons, the east side florist, moved into his new store some time ago and his place tn&kes a bright spot on Central avenue. Mr. Souden, at- The House of Flowers, takes advantage of the store's spacious window in making attractive displays. At Nagel's greenhouses, on Lake street, they are cutting some good Easter lilies. A house of cyclamens of the Minhe- apolis Floral Co. makes a fine showing and they are finding ready sale at a number of the stores. Swanson's, on Nicollet avenue, fea- tured great bunches of chrysanthemums in the window displays last week. Paper White narcissi are making their appearance, from Hiawatha Gar- dens Co., at University and Bedford streets. J. A. M. Worcester, Mass. — F. E. Keyes is proud of the fact that he still caters to customers made by his father a quar- ter of a century ago and has a host of new patrons in addition- Midgley Bros, are getting things well in shape at the large plant of the Worcester Conserva- tories, recently acquired by them. L. C. Midgley, St., has charge of the new plant at Westboro, where, with W. E. Draper, they have an estate of seventy- five acres, intending to eventually cover the greater part of it with glass.

Gar- denias are really scarce; though more numerous than a fortnight ago, they are in active demand at listed prices. Violets have shortened considerably, while the demand was increased by the Penn-Indian football game of last Sat- urday. The price has advanced on both singles and doubles. Although not scarce, like the other two, valley has been satisfactory, probably more so than either of the others, because it not only sold Teadily at fair figures, but, best of all from a retailer's standpoint, it could be secured when needed. Chrysanthemums are the leading fea- ture of the market. Really fancy stock is in active demand at excellent prices, but really fancy stock is far from plen- tiful. Every chrysanthemum grower will question this statement (I would not give a fig for him if he didn't), but let him go into town and carefully compare his stock with what I have classed as fancy and I think he will agree with me that it takes hustling to Qualify in that class. Silver Wedding, iynnwood Hall, Grace, Elise Papworth and Mrs. Shaw are the leading whites, Maud Dean is the best pink of the day, while good old Major Bonnaffon and his companion in arms, Col. Appleton, remain in the vanguard of the yellows. Not many reds could be scraped up for the football game, but there were a few. The medium and ordinary grades of chrysanthemums are decidedly in ex- cess of the demand. Pompons are in fair favor, but the buyers who want pompons expect moderate prices. The anemone-flowered Mary CoUaday still leads, although the color is not all that Edward A. Stroud says it should be and that he can and will make it. Boses, carnations and all the other flowers bow to the chrysanthemum, al- though the coming-out teas and other early social affairs at times demand them, and demand the best only. Cat- tleyas have shortened in supply and advanced in price, but hardly enough to be more than an indication of coming events. Splendid Stock AT PAIR PRICES We are receiving choice Chrysanthemums in ail colors; they are selling well because of their fine quality and moderate price.

Mention The Review wben tou write. Greens are abundant and dull. A Customs Decision. Every florist in the land uses baskets, but not every florist thinks of the diffi- culties that are experienced in procur- ing his baskets at fair prices. A recent custom-house decision is of interest. June 20 M. Rice & Co. brought in a large importation of baskets, on which the appraiser increased the valuation materially. A protest was made and the case was taken before the board of general appraisers, which sustained the appraiser. A further protest was made, the case going before the full board of three judges. Great preparations were made by both sides. Mr. Rice was posi- tive that his valuation was fair. The government brought over its representa- tive from Germany, with his array of figures. The decision of the board was that the value of the baskets should be returned as entered; in other words, a complete victory for M. Rice & Co. The Dahlia Season. The dahlia season of 1911 closed on the night of November 2, when the dahlias supplying the flowers for this market were frozen. The season has been remarkable for its length, for the improvement in the flowers and for the increase in demand; it was undoubtedly the ftest season the dahlia has ever ex- perienced as a cut flower. Passing over the length of the season simply with the remark that it was at least two weeks longer than ordinarily, the improvement in the quality has been remarkable. This is due to three things — the heavy August rains, the improved varieties and the disbudding.

While the average stock did not bring better prices, superior stock did. There is one other feature in the dahlia season that is worthy of com- ment; that is, the system that has been inaugurated by at least one of our wholesale houses of having all dahlia orders packed at the farm and deliv- ered direct to the customer in the orig- inal boxes. This adds immeasurably to the keeping qualities, as well as to the condition of the dahlia. The dahlia growers who have produced the same grade of stock as in former years will find no improvement in their returns; probably a falling off, for the market becomes more critical year by year. The dahlia grower who has produced finer flowers of the popular market va- rieties will find that his returns have been better than ever before. Various Notes. D. T.

Tlie Market. The whole of last week was ideal for the flower shows, every one of them proving the best in the records of the several horticultural societies, but a cold rain ushers in the present week, and we may depend upon killing frosts. In some sections near us the outdoor blooms are still untouched. It has been a wonderful season for dahlias and cos- mos. The chrysanthemum still is king. Its prestige has been greatly enhanced dur- ing the last ten days, as it has domin- ated every exhibition. Immense quan- tities are arriving daily and prices are far from satisfactory, compared with other years. Few of the best ever go above $4 to $5 a dozen. The bulk of the salable stock is held at from 20 cents each down to $5 per hundred. There is little demand for the bunches. So reasonable have been the wholesale rates for the decorative flowers that every retail window is a mum show. Roses are overabundant and there has been a clearing up of the surplus lower even than $5 per thousand. Even the best grades have not advanced above the low quotations of October. No fault can be found with the quality. It is now superb. The novelties are in de- mand. The craze for new things al- ways is in evidence in New York, and especially where there is such uniform merit. Few of the old favorites, Bride and Maid, are seen in comparison with the quantity of Maryland and Kil- larney. Carnations have not sold above $2 per hundred and most of the grand stock arriving goes for $1 or less. Dou- ble the present prices were obtainable a year ago. The same may be said of lilies, which have been selling at the price of valley, $2 to $4 per hundred. The best gardenias sell at $4 a dozen. Orchids have not gone above 50 cents •each.
