PATRICK'S DAY WINDOW. The Bell Floral Co., of Franklin, Pa., last year arranged a St. Patrick's day- window which, in addition to a liberal supply of shamrock plants, and a large vase of green carnations, contained a block of artificial stone, marked "Sham rock," another piece of the same mate- rial labeled "The Original Blarney Stone," on the summit of which is a miniature representation of Blarney Castle. The display included, also, clay pipes tied with a bow of green ribbon, numer- ous small Irish flags, fans for the occa- sion, appropriately decorated with pic- tures of shamrocks and other national emblems, and inscribed with the motto so dear to every Irishman, "Erin go Bragh. ' ' There was also a fine black specimen of a shillalah, and several cards on which were marked in plain letters the following inscriptions, the last of which is original: Sandle lores the thistle, John Bull loves the rose, But Paddy loves the land Where the shamrock grows. Saint Patrick was a gentleman, And came of decent .people. He built a church In Dublin town, And on It put a steeple. The Wlcklow hills are very high. And so's the hill o' Howth, sir. But I know a hill that's twice as high, And higher than them both, sir. 'Twas on the top of this high hill Saint Patrick preached his sermon. He made the frogs Jump through the bogs, And banished all the vermin. Good people, ere It Is too late. Your homes and selves adorning With pretty shamrocks, celebrate Saint Patrick's day In the morning. ABE SPECIAL SALES A BENEFIT? [A paper by Z. D.. Blackistone, of Washington, D. C, read before the Philadelphia Florists' Club.] In speaking on the subject of the value of special flower sales in a retail store, as a means of advertising, I shall rely mainly on personal experi- ences. This will necessitate frequent reference to myself and my business, which I trust you will not consider egotistical, but as given simply for the purpose of throwing more light on the subject. My business career began in Novem- ber, 1898, when I started in a very small store and on a very small capital. For the first five or six years my busi- ness continued to grow and it seemed so easy that I wondered why everybody did not go into business. Then compe- tition in the neighborhood became keener and business seemed to stop growing, but the expenses continued to increase just the same. Things went on in this way for several years, when I awoke and realized that I had to be more aggressive and progressive in the conduct of my business if I wished to succeed. First Experiments in Advertising. Up to this time I had done but little advertising and even that in a desul- tory manner — in programs, principally, with an occasional ad in a special Thanksgiving or Easter edition of a newspaper, given to a newspaper so- licitor. My first systematic attempt at advertising came when I signed a twelve months' contract at $80.50 a month for a street, car ad. With this space on my hands, I began to get busy to keep it working. My first ads were gotten up something like this: "Blacki- stone, Washington's Leading Florist, Eoses, Violets, Orchids, Telephone — Ad- dress, etc." Well, this went on for several months and I began to wonder if anyone ever read them. My first real attempt at special sale advertising came when I photographed a small kentia palm in a jardiniere, had it reproduced and put in my car space, advertising ' ' Special Dwarf Pahn and Jardiniere complete, 50 cents, regular $1.00 value." Now notice: This particular ad had run for at least two weeks and we had not had a single call. I then phoned to the man in charge of the ad, telling him of my dis- gust, and ordered new cards substituted, which required about a week to pre- pare, instead of my special palm ad. But, mind you, that very day we had best paying advertising I ever did. It not only paid for. itself, principal and interest, but contiiiued to pay interest for several years. And — would you be- lieve it? — still, to this day, although the ad has been dead for several years, people occasionally come in and ask if we have this article. On this ad I cut my eye teeth as to the value of spe- cial sales as a means of advertising and I can assure you the lesson has been worth thousands of dollars to me. After this I used a photo of a table bouquet of carnations, any color, ar- ranged with greens, special at $1, and then, during the spring and summer, a spray of carnations with gauze ribbon, special at $2. Both these were success- ful ads, and good drawing cards. Now, I fully realize that all this, while pertinent to the subject, is not what your committee had in mind and wanted me to tell you about. What you are really looking for is informa- tion on the subject of conservation. How shall we florists manage so that the great gluts of the crops of cut flow- ers, which necessarily come from time to time, shall not be wasted? How shall we manage so that they may prove useful and profitable to the florist, in- stead of a bane and a nightmare? A Successful Saturday Special. The foregoing I have related more as an introduction. It shows you the evo- lutions of practical commercial develop- ment as pertaining to the specific sub- ject. Having shown you the experi- ments which I made and their results, you will readily understand that my mind was now in a receptive mood on this subject. I had finished my street car advertising contract, when, at the psychological moment, a friend of mine, representing one of the largest papers, induced me to sign a 10,000-line con- 1 i ^m r ^.ftv^ , 1 1 t1r5» ^^^^■I^Mm.. f ^^f^'JM ^p n.js' ,i ^^^1 m |j9 M IP air' r k ■r^"'^. -^T 'S^'^i^v St. Patrick's Day Vindow of the Bell Floral Co., Franklin, Pa. calls for our special palm. This was followed up the next day, and the next and the next, with frequent calls, and these customers were nearly all strang- ers, who had never been in my store before, and many of whom had never heard of Blaekistone, florist. A Dead Ad That Still Lived. That special palm ad I consider the tract. This was in the fall, about four years ago. Just after this I was visited by one of Philadelphia's enterprising commission men and offered a special price on roses in large quantities. You must have had an awful crop of Kich- mond roses here at that time. Anyhow, they induced me to place a pretty good sized order at $20 per thousand. And now observe the craftiness of mm HiM 12 The Weekly Florists' Review* Mabch 7, 1912. the wholesale florist. In this entire first special shipment there was not a rose that was not worth $1 per dozen and a good many of them were worth and actually sold for $1.50 and $2 per dozen. I had placed a large ad of my Saturday special rose sale, at 50 cents per dozen, in the paper, and also put a large sized card in the window, dis- playing the roses which we were of- fering. That day everyone in the store, including the boss, was busy all day. "When we closed that night we did not have a Richmond rose unsold in the house. That shipment was a sort of coax; I am still trying to get another like it.

Accounts RAKRISON Ua AVTOMATIC tI.«M New«paper Ads of Chicago Retailers. Well, with this as a starter, I have continued my Saturday specials. Boses and carnations are the best for this purpose, but we use all and any kind of flowers that we can buy in quantity and at a price which will be an in- ducement. We have customers who phone and come from all over town for this sale and we always have it. I have paid 60 cents per dozen for carnations and sold them for 50 cents, giving greens and delivering in a box at this price, in order to preserve this custom and not disappoint our patrons, and it paid to do it. At our Saturday sales we not only move thousands of flowers,' thereby re- lieving the congestion of the market, but also send flowers and good cheer into poor and obscure homes all over the city. In fact, I have always had this as part of my motive in offering these special inducements. Our patrons of the Saturday special come on other days for funeral pieces and flowers for other special occa- sions, and the point sometimes raised, that customers will postpone buying till the bargain day, does not hold good. On the contrary, it increases the popu- larity of the business and the patrons for the other days of the week as well. Do not think, however, that the spe- cial sale only requires securing of prop- er stock and inserting an ad in the paper. Oh, no! In order to make a success of it, one must give it close at- tention and study. Many times I have spent good money in stock and print- ers' ink and have never seen it re- turned. Usually I can trace the cause, and more often than not I find it in myself — in something that I have done or have failed to do. Special Ads as Educators. There is another phase of this sub- ject which I must touch on before leav- ing. It is the idea sometimes set forth by some competitors that special sales are degrading and detrimental to the business in general. In my opinion nothing could be more erroneous. On the contrary, the result is beneficial to all. A large proportion of the flowers sold at a special sale are bought by per- sons who have no particular need for them. They simply buy because they are getting a bf^rgain or because their 50 cents in flowers is more satisfying than if spent in anything else. If not spent for flowers, it would go for candy, cheap amusement, or something else — perhaps even for something harmful to the health, and certainly not more gen- erous in the spread of sweetness and good cheer. There are times when the business seems to come to a standstill, when it seems to need a stimulus or tonic; not with one establishment in particular, but with all. And then it is that the good, rousing special starts things go- ing and helps everybody. Especially, and beyond argument, is this true mx the fall, just as all flowers are begin- ning to come into full crop and the public have gotten out of the habit of buying greenhouae flowers, and again after the Christmas holidays, when all flowers are. so high that people in ordi- nary circumstances are afraid to come in and even ask .the price. Fifteen years ago the special flower sale was scarcely heard of. The rea- son, which you all know, is simple. Then the output of flowers was per- haps not more than ten per cent of that of the present day and all stock was easily disposed of. Then the flo- rist was simply the florist. Today he must also be the artist. Tomorrow, in order to succeed, he must be the flo- rist, the artist and the merchant com- bined. A Part of the Florist's Mission. "Necessity is the mother of inven- tion," and the special sales are brought about by the unalterable laws of na- ture. Who shall say that the great glut of berries, which enables the poor- est to enjoy -them when they are the most luscious, and even to preserve them for the winter season, is an evilf Who shall say that the production and the maturing of any of our vegetables, the vegetables we serve on the table, the fruits and grains of the earth, the trees, the grass, and tlfB'tfowers, is a mistake f Some may tell us that this periodical overproduction is a necessary evil, but I do not see it as such.

This is our mission, our op- portunity; this is the means by which we can place flowers within the reach of every family; this is the means of educating the poor as well as the rich in the love of flowers. Do you realize that if flowers were bought by only the wealthy people, fifty per cent of the florists in the city of Washington Would have to go out of business? Here, and likewise in many other cities, the running expenses and the bread and butter of the florists and their families come from the poor and the moderate- ly well-to-do classes. Thus it is not only our necessity but our duty to find a means of distributing this bountiful supply which nature has placed in our hands. It is our mission and our opportunity to educate the people, to instill in the hearts and minds of the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the love of nature and all her works, the love of trees and shrubs and every flower that blooms. This is the mission of the florist in the generations to come, and we can utilize the special sales as one of the means to this end. CHICAGO RETAIL ADVEBTISINQ. The retail florists of Chicago are pushing along so rapidly that the flower business is coming to hold a place of importance in the list of the city 's mer- cantile interests. It is advertising that is bringing the business into the public eye. All four of the advertisements reproduced on page 12 were in the Tribune Saturday morning, March 2. In the original they were double column spaces, and therefore in the aggre- gate they made nearly half a page of the big daily. Now, no one needs evi- dence that an industry that is good for a half page of the highest priced space in the country, possibly except-- ing New York, has a real importance in the eyes of the managers of the big organs of publicity. The florists' inter- ests are well worth catering to, The advertising florists are not charging fancy prices, but they arte moving a tremendous lot of stock and making a great number of new flower buyers who become an asset for the growers. THE CASKET COVER. It used to be said that the supreme test of a florist 's abilities as a worker with cut flowers came with the orders for brides' bouquets, but of late the nature of the test has been changed — nowadays the real showing of ability is made on casket covers. The accom- panying illustration is a good example of a pall of roses made by a competent cut flower worker. The original was from the Art Floral Co., San Francisco, P. Vincent Matraia president and man- ager. There are several ways of making a cover of flowers for a casket. Flowers of any variety or a number of varieties can be used, but upon the type of flower depends the frame or body of the cover. The stiff wire frames, as made by the wire workers, are perhaps used as a framework more extensively than any other. For large flowers, such as lilies, chrysanthemums or Beauties, this wire frame is best. After lightly cov- ering the frame with green, the usual way is to fasten the flowers with No. 20 to 24 wire, bent like long hairpins. It is always advisable to bring the wires up from underneath, so as not to leave a lot of ends, which would mar the casket. Some florists moss the wire casket cover frames as in other design work, but this others consider useless. Only when using galax leaves as the background, is moss required. Mosquito netting adapts itself nice- ly for use in making covers out of roses, carnations, nafcissi or other flowers of medium size and not too stiff stem. A cover made in this way conforms read- ily .to the shape of the casket. The flowers are attached in the same way as to the wire frame; a number can, of course, be fastened at one time if the stems are long. When making such small flowers as violets, sweet peas, Roman hyacinths, etc., into a casket cover, many skilled workers sew or pin the flowers to a piece of moss-green denim. This makes a graceful cover. The flowers are first made up into small bunches of about a half dozen with the stems cut short, and these small bunches fastened to the cloth. Only a little extra green is required; of course, the bunches must be fasitened close together. In order to facilitate matters, one will find it a good plan to lay the cloth or wire net- ting over one of the regular stiff wire frames while working on such a cover. Until one knows from experience ^bout how many flowers are required for a cover, it is a good plan to keep a record of those you make. Note the size and kind of flowers and the num- ber used. The size and quality will, of course, change the figures somewhat, as will also the spacing of the flowers; still, one will find a record a great convenience when asked to estimate the cost of a cover of a given size. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Directors' Meeting. The meeting of th') board of directors will be held in the Auditorium hotel, Chicago, Wednesday, March 13, at 10 a. m. A Letter from England. The following letter has been re- ceived by the secretary from the man- agement of the Royal International Horticultural Exhibition in London: "Bear Sir: I beg to tbank you for your letter addressed to Mr. Geo. J. Ingrain, and have been Instructed to write and tbank tbe Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists for their kind offer of three silver and three bronze medals to tbe exhibition, to be awarded at tbe International Exposition In London for plants and flowers of American origin. "Our directors very much appreciate the kind gift, and have requested me to ask that the said medals be forwarded as soon as possible, In order that they may be exhibited with cups and other trophies prior to the exhibition, and, If possible, should they arrive in time, figure in the coming Souvenir Catalogue. — Yours faithfully, Geoffrey W.

Vice-president — Charles W. Johnson, Morgan Park. Secretairy — J. F. Ammann, Edwards- ville. Treasurer — ^F. L. Washburn, Bloom- ington. Sidesteps the Plunge. For a moment, March 5, the Illinois State Florists' Association stood on the threshold of an open door leading to a new field of labor in which there is great need of powerful leadership — but it stood only a moment — then it backed away. It was the seventh annual conven- tion, held at Joliet, and W. L. Palinsky, of Chicago, had brought up the subject of the great damage done to florists because of illuminating gas seeping through the ground in cold weather into greenhouses near leaking mains. Mr. Palinsky and several other Chicago florists have suffered damages from this cause this winter and it developed that President-elect Loveridge, of Peoria, has just had a similar loss in two houses containing 3,500 rose plants that dropped their leaves. So graphically did the Chicago man paint the troubles of the small grower in getting an ade- quate settlement from a powerful cor- poration that, after a half dozen speak- ers had related the facts regarding other such losses of which they had heard, a motion was made that the ex- ecutive committee gather data and seek expert testimony to be available when- ever the members are in need. Mr. Palinsky explained that he did not seek financial aid in the suit he pur- poses instituting against the big Chi- cago gas corporation, but wanted the backing of the organization to give weight to the florist's side of all such cases. He said he will fight it out on principle anyway and put his story in such plain language that for a moment the association seemed about to accept his invitation to "come on in; the water's fine." Then it declined to take the plunge. J. F. Ammann, H. B. Dorner, George Asmus and others pointed out that the departure was not only radical but that its effect would be far-reaching, that much work would be necessary, that it would bring the association frequently into court and that it might detract seriously from the experimental work for floriculture the association has in progress and requiring all the effort of which the association seems capable — in other words, the association has its hands full, and the motion was withdrawn. Many individuals offered personal as- sistance in case of losses similar to those that have been unusually nu- merous this winter. The Opening Ceremonies. The business sessions were held in \ the parlors of the Hotel Munroe, across the street from the exhibition. Presi- dent Washburn asked W. N. Rudd for some introductory remarks. He spoke of the well known hospitality of JoUy-et and told the story we all like so well, about there being no florists at the institution at which abide a con- siderable number of those in other walks of life. He introduced Mr. Mooney, secretary to the mayor, to give an address of welcome in behalf of the absent executive. Mr. Mooney said that Jo-le-et appreciates its own flo- rists and always welcomes visitors from the craft. George Asmus responded and pointed out that the association's first president, James Hartshorne, was a Joliet man. He also emphasized the fact that the organization does not fos- ter individual interests but seeks to advance the general good, having worked so successfully that other states now are following the lead of Illinois, notably New York, which is seeking a state appropriation for experimental greenhouses at Ithaca. President Washburn 's address will be found in full in another column. Secretary's Report. Secretary J. F. Ammann read the lengthy minutes of the 1911 meeting at Champaign and then presented the fol- lowing brief annual report: "I take great pleasure in reporting a successful year of our organization. this association is shown by the liberal appropriation made for floriculture in the last general assembly. This is work, gentlemen, that this organiza- tion can be proud of. Full reports oT" this work will be given by others later on. "The finances of our association are not large, yet I am pleased to report a balance to date of $234.01. "We have increased our membership in the last year as follows: Annual members, from 153 to 175. Life mem- bers, from eighteen to thirty-two. Hon- orary members, four, giving us at this writing a total membership of 211. So far as your secretary knows there have been no deaths in our ranks during the year. I shall not dwell on the ever im- portant question of new membership any more than to say the importance of this I am sure we all realize and the way to get new members we all know, so just hustle." Treasurer ' s Report. Treasurer F. L. Washburn presented! the following financial statement: RECEIPTS. Balance Feb. 2, 1911 $118.28 Balance from banquet 2.10 From secretary (dues) 151.00 Total $271.38 DISBURSEMENTS.

The interest and the display of floral work shown at the state fair held in Springfield last fall, which was direct- ly due to the work carried out by this organization, was indeed a credit to us. "Another feature of the work of Mr. Hill's Address. E. G. Hill was introduced by the presi- dent "to talk on his new rose." Mr. Hill said that the subject was solely the president's and that modesty forbade his saying much on it; "anyway, the '■■^w^%^ii?fj'''V'^!'f^ft^'!lfi'v^]y'\'i\i~ March 7, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 15 rose speaks for itself." He added that Sunburst was not his seedling, but had been found by him when visiting Per- net-Ducher at Lyons, France, a few years ago. There it stood up above every- thing else in a big field of roses. After trying it at Ric^ond for three years the .^nerican rights were purchased. He added: "When it gets into the hands of the experts, the Poeblmanns and Keimels, etc., you will marvel at its strong growth." Mr. Hill complimented the quality of the carnations in the exhibition and said it looks as though the novelty raisers must be encouraged, as it is quite ap- parent that the best of varieties in a few years break down, perhaps because we reverse the natural order of bloom- ing. ' ' Don 't be discouraged if you buy a few gold bricks," he said, "one good one is worth all the failures. ' ' Referring to outdoor roses, he told of the great amount of time and labor and money the European raisers are devoting to the raising of new varieties, but added that these varieties do not meet the American needs. We have raised good garden varieties in this country, notably Radiance and W. R. Smith, but we need more work to raise or test roses for the garden. In Europe from sixty-five to 110 new varieties are offered each year. He described the trials at the Bagatelle gardens at Paris and sug- gested that something of the same sort be undertaken here, predicting that as soon as a good list of varieties can be recommended with the backing of such a trial the whole trade will feel the benefit of the increased demand, not only for plants for the garden, but for I'ut roses in the season when outdoor roses are not in bloom. Work at the Experiment Station. At the evening session Vice-president Loveridge occupied the chair. Prof. H. B. Dorner, who is in charge of the work being conducted at Urbana under the auspices of the association, made a lengthy report of the experiments, some of them now in their third 'year. He stated that the staff has recently been increased by the appointment of W. H. Anderson as pathologist and James Hutchinson in charge of greenhouse and outdoor work. The instructional work has greatly increased. Last year there were sixty-eight students and this year ninety-one in the^ floricultural de- partment. The erection of additional buildings for which funds have been obtained is held up pending the deter- mination of plans for the rearrange- ment of the campus, which may require the removal of the present plant to a new but not less desirable location. The experiments with commercial fertilizers on carnations have been continued and it has now been definitely settled that as good stock can be grown with these as with animal manures. The station recommends that each grower experi- ment in a small way for himself and will soon issue a bulletin to place the records obtained in available form. The rose experiments started last year have been continued and appear to show that better results are to be had from grafted than from own-root plants. This season a rose garden is to be es- tablished to test the hardiness and blooming qualities of outdoor roses. A volley of questions followed the reading of the paper, and Prof. Dorner was kept on his feet for an hour and a half. Charles W. Johnson* (Vice-president-elect IlUnols State Florists' Association.) W. H. Anderson, the new pathologist, described the work the station is doing on stem-rot in carnations and said that the first thing a grower should do v^hen he discovers a plant affected with the disease is to dig it up with all the soil he can get without disturbing other plants and carry it all outside the prem- ises; delays and half-way measures are dangerous. Miscellaneous Business. The committee on president's ad- dress, W. L. Palinsky and M. Barker, advised concurring in all the presi- dent's recommendations. The report was adopted. On motion of W. N. Rudd the presi- dent was instructed to appoint a com- mittee of three to arrange for the asso- ciation headquarters booth at the S. A. F. convention. George Asmus and Chas. Johnson re- ported having audited the books and found them correct. The Exhibition. If the attendance failed to come up to expectations, the exhibition made up for it, as it exceeded what anyone had anticipated, crowding the space so badly that additional room had to be obtained. The number of exhibitors was probably the greatest in the his- tory of the association and the quality of the stock was certainly as high as ever has been seen at any of its meet- ings. Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, showed twenty-five blooms each of Melody, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Antoine Rivoire, Double Pink Killarney and the Poehlmann strain of Double White Killarney. The Melody had the best color and the Ward the best stem many had seen on these roses. The Killarneys had exception- ally long buds. Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, showed their strain of Double White Killarney, also Killarney and White Killarney roses, with samples of young grafted stock of each variety. In carnations a fine vase of O. P. Bassett was staged and a big fringed white seedling labeled No. 5, and a red seedling. Some fine strings of Asparagus Hatcheri were on the wall. The J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., Joliet, staged 100 blooms each of White Enchantress, Gloriosa, Rose-pink En- chantress, Beacon, Norwood and En- chantress. The Beacon were extra good, but many thought the Gloriosa the finest vase of carnations in the entire show. The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, was the largest exhibitor, staging fifty to 100 blooms each of Princess Charm- ing, Scarlet Glow, White Enchantress, Victory, Washington, The Herald, No. 94, variegated; No. 150, dark pink; No. 78, light pink; May Day, Conquest, White Perfection, Pink Delight and Enchantress. The Washington were fine, but the greatest interest centered on The Herald and the variegated, which are to be sent out next season, and on the dark pink. No. 150, which is an extremely large flower. A. C. Brown, Springfield, was the largest out-of-town exhibitor Vof cut flowers, staging ten varieties of car- 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mabch 7, 1912. ; era and a variety of blooming and foliage plants dressed in crepe paper pot covers. The George M. Garland Co., Des Plaines, had a section of an iron frame truss greenhouse, showed five styles of iron gutter, a cast-iron eave plate and drip conductor, fittings for semi-iron construction, pipe bench fittings, a new- support for bench wiring, and nun^erous blue prints. A big sign announcing an important new ide^ in greenhouse con- struction to be exploited next season failed of satisfactory execution and was suppressed. E. H. Hunt, Chicago, set up a display of greenhouse supplies, including To- bak-ine products, fertilizers, Elastic-Lyke putty, greenhouse white paint, hose menders, sprinklers and a reel of Noxall hose. G. E. Travis Co., Henry, HI., showed a rocking grate for greenhouse boilers, set up so that the visitors could work the handle the same as if there was a fire on it. I. L. Pillsbury, Galesburg, showed his well-known staple for mending split carnation calyxes. The following were represented by banners: Bassett & Washburn, Pulver- ized Manure Co., John C. Moninger Co., United Fertilizer Co., Kroeschell Bros. Co., A. L. Bandall Co., Foley Mfg. Qo., A. Dietsch CoT, all of Chicago. Judges' Report. The judges were A. T. Hey, of May- wood, and Carl Eauth, of Springfield. In their report they made mention of each of the exhibits. High commenda- tion waa given to the Thompson Carna- tion Co., for Gloriosa; Bassett & Wash- burn, for seedling carnations and Double White Killarney rose; to E. G. Hill Co., for Sunburst, and to Chicago Car- nation Co., for its seedlings. Special mention was made of the following: White seedling carnation, from Mount Greenwood Cemetery Association; Car- nation Wodenethe, from E. G. Hill Co.; Mrs. Ward and White Wonder, from A. C. Brown; roses, especially Melody, from Poehlmann Bros. Co.; White En- chantress, from Charles Loveridge; Prin- cess Charming, White Perfection, Crim- son Glow and Washington, from Chi- cago Carnation Co. ; roses and Asparagus Hatcheri, from Bassett & Washburn; Princess of Wales violets, from A. Wash- burn & Sons; pot plants and the sport "from Herrick violet, from F. B. Smith's Sons; hydrangeas, from George A. Kuhl; Phyllis and Tausendschon pot roses and Primula malacoides, from Vaughan 's Greenhouses; sport of Shasta daisy, from A. T. Hey Floral Co.; German sprayer, from E. H. Hunt. Wednesday's Entertaiiunent. The second day of the convention was devoted to sightseeing and sociability, as well as to the trades' display. The day had been announced as in the hands of the Joliet florists and quite a few came to partake of their hospitality who had not been able to be present at the business sessions. In the ■ morning a trip was made through the state penitentiary, the sec- ond largest in the United States. It is only on an occasion such as this that there ever are any florists in it. At noon the entire party was taken to the greenhouses of the Thompson Car- nation Co., and later to those of the Chicago Carnation Co., where luncheon was served and some speechmaking, as usual, after which everyone had a chance nations, about fifty of each of the fol- lowing: Sangamo, Pink Delight, Mrs. C. W. Ward, White Enchantress, Glo- riosa, Enchantress, White Wonder, Shasta, Bright Spot and Dorothy Gor- don. The Mrs. Ward were especially good. C. Loveridge, Peoria, was showing Beacon, Enchantress, Rose-pink En- chantress, White Enchantress and Scar- let Glow carnations, the Beacon being especially well done, and fine Princess of Wales violets. Mt. Greenwood Cemetery Association, Morgan Park, set up 100 blooms of a fine pure white seedling carnation of remarkable fragrance. Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, sent fifty blooms of the new red carnation, St. Nicholas, that showed up in fine shape. W. H. Gullett & Sons, Lincoln, were represented by two good vases of car- nations. White Enchantress and Rose- pink Enchantress. J. F. Ammann Floral Co., Edwards- ville, staged six vases, the varieties being Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchant- ress and White Enchantress carnations and; in roses, Ivory, Killarney and White Killarney. E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., showed the new yellow rose, Sunburst, but the originally fine blooms had. been touched by frost in transit, as had some big flowers of the new white carnation Wodenethe and 100 blooms of Gloriosa. A. Washburn & Sons, Bloomington, showed 500 Princess of Wales violets of excellent quality. August Jurgens, Chicago, was repre- sented by vases of three varieties of narcissi. Frank B. Smith's Sons, Danville, had a large display of blooming plants in pots, including excellent cinerarias and splendidly flowered cyclamens; also a fine strain of pansies and heavily flow- ered Gov. Herrick violets. In cut flow- ers they staged some fine bunches of the Herrick violet and a sport of it considerably lighter in color. A. large vase of mixed seedling carnations con- tained some promising things. A big vase of a fine seedling the color of Harlowarden was labeled No. 108-08 and attracted much attention. Albert T. Hey Floral Co., Maywood, showed an improved Shasta daisy said to be absolutely hardy and so contin- uous in blooming that from 300 square feet of ground 30,000 flowers were sent to market last summer. Primula veris and small ferns also weife staged. Vaughan 's Greenhouses, Western Springs, 111., had several tables of palms, ferns, crotons, asparagus, pan- danus, dracsenas, etc., and in blooming stock primulas and Easter roses. George A. Kuhl, Pekin, was repre- sented by a table of Easter flowering plants in bud, including hydrangeas, roses, lilies and spiraeas. Joseph Labo, Joliet, was represented by some excellent Enchantress, White Enchantress and Rose-pink Enchantress carnations, some good single violets and Killarney and White Killarney roses. A. C. Rett, Joliet, staged a number of vases of cut flowers, bouquets, etc., surrounding an ivy wreath of original design, a sheaf of wheat being made up in the center. The Carter Floral Co., Joliet, staged a well-made broken column with a dove perched on top, several vases of cut flow- to inspect the plant. It probably is needless to add that at both places every- thing was in spick-and-span order. The following were the local commit- tees in charge: Entertainment Committee — William Hartshorne, A. T.

Washburn, president of the Illinois State Florists' Association, read at the convention at Joliet March 5.] The year of this association just clos- ing has been an eventful one in several ways. We have passed through the hardest winter the florists' trade ever has experienced in this state since our association has been in existence. The severe cold has cost all of us from forty to fifty per cent more for coal, while we have not received any increased price for our output. There have been numerous accidents resulting from this long cold spell, such as boilers giving out, boiler houses burning down and stock being frozen, but we all live in hope that the season will soon change for the better. One of the events to which our asso- ciation has contributed quite largely has been the twenty per cent reduction in express rates in this state, which has saved all of us quite a tidy sum. This reduction was brought about by the combined energy of several commercial associations in filing numerous protests with the State Railway and Warehouse Commission. The officers of your asso- ciation were especially active in this work and take much pride in the re- sults accomplished. There are several other matters which probably will have to be attended to Tsiy'')i*w5r!>'rt»iT nTjj.T;, '.^jy^jpsv.i^'-.' ■' '';,-« ■':■•• ■.•';:•' : March 7, 1912.

This association will have to do its part in looking after the interests of the flo- rists' trade if such a step is taken. An important problem which is now confronting us is the matter of obtain- ing good fertilizer. It is almost impos- sible to obtain a good natural cattle manure and we are liable soon to have to resort to the use of chemical fer- tilizers. I would suggest this matter be taken up by a committee and let them confer with our state testing sta- tion, so that proper information in the shape of bulletins may be issued by the station, showing what chemicals are best adapted for fertilizer use, the quantities to be used and their method of application. Also, can chemicals be successfully used in combination with animal manures? The testing station has done valuable work with carnations and we are look- ing forward to their report on roses with a great deal of interest. Our association is now, seven years old and has proved itself a healthy child. What we need is an increased membership, as the association wotild be much more influential if backed by a larger membership. Our dues are nom- inal, only $1 a year, while the field for its usefulness is so large that every floript in the state should become a member. Let us all appoint ourselves a com- mittee to impress on our brother flo- rists who are non-members that it is their duty to join with us and assume their share of the responsibility and work of this association. The exhibition of flowers and plants at our meeting places gives good re- sults to both the exhibitor and the members by acquainting both parties and showing what s\ock is grown. It also arouses the interest of the general pub- lic and has a widespread and benefi- cial effect. This feature of our meet- ings should be encouraged. The exhibition of new varieties occur- ring at this time, it is just the time of year for the trade to judge of their value and it would be a good idea if the introducers of these varieties could ad- dress us on their cultural requirements and the number of flowers that can be produced per plant under average con- dition. Illinois is to be favored this year by the Society of American Florists hold- ing its meeting in Chicago and I would suggest that if our association could secure a booth for headquarters in the exhibition hall, where our members could make it a social meeting place, it would add to their comfort and also be a good advertisement for this asso- ciation. Let us all do our share in helping make the S. A. F. meeting a grand success. The relations between the various of- ficers of the association have been most pleasant and helpful and I wish to thank you cordially for the honor con- ferred upon me in serving as your presi- dent the last two years.

There need be no special alarm over the quantity or condition of the hardy cut ferns now in storage — none but the holders of the stock will be seri- ously affected. It is true that the Mas- sachusetts shippers have issued prices for March, April and May that are a considerable advance over what has been charged in previous years, indi- cating, no doubt, their state of mind, for an advance of 35 cents per thou- sand over what was asked in other Mays would only be the result of a somewhat panicky feeling over the size and con- dition of the stock. But this is a big country and New England is no longer the only source of supply on .ferns. There are considerable quantities of Michigan and southern mountain ferns in storage in the west, more, in fact, than in any previous year. Then, too* this has been a winter of deep and last- ing drifts, so that the "snow birds" may be expected to come out showing excellent quality for this class of stock. As a further bar to excessive prices, the far south and the Pacific northwest ship ferns early and far — good prices in the north and east always bring these supplies to the front. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS^ Chicago, lil. — The Adjustment Bu- reau of the Chicago Association of Credit Men February 28 reported hav- ing taken over the assets of the Amer- ican Metal Box Co., formerly the Illi- nois Self-Watering Box Co., in the in- terest of the creditors, of whom there are eighty-three, Joseph T. Eyerson & Son being the largest. Subsequently the concern was thrown into involun- tary bankruptcy by N, W. Ayer & Son, the Philadelphia advertising agents, who have a claim of $1,400. The total claims are about $31,000. The Associa- tion of Credit Men is trying to get the bankruptcy petition dismissed, so that the business can be liquidated as a going concern. It is said that the self- watering flower boxes are a good seller and profitable, all the losses having oc- curred in other departments of the business. NATIONAL FLOWEB SHOW, 1913.

[A paper by Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., read at the New York State College of Agricul- ture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., in the Fifth Annual Farmers' Week, B'ebruary 10 to 24, 1912.] For the last ten years probably no other flower has gained popularity so rapidly as the gladiolus. The principal reason for this is the great improve- ment made in both size and character of the individual flower, as well as the better defined colors and markings. By experienced hybridizers, also, the strength and vitality of the corm or bulb has been so increased that gladioli of such breeding can be successfully grown in any climate and under ex- tremely unfavorable conditions, and with little care compared with that nec- essary to succeed with most other flowers. I am a firm believer in the theory that the acme of success is best at- tained by those who choose an occupa- tion or profession more for the love of environment, and the possibilities of development, than for the financial re- turns. While I believe this is true in all walks of life, I contend that in agriculture, horticulture and floriculture we have the best support of such argu- ment. Who are your most successful farmers, fruit and flower growers in this country today? I dare say, if you were to canvass this great Empire State, you would find such men and women in close touch with every detail of their industry so far as practical, and not merely directing it. I believe, also, that a certain amount of sentiment should accompany one's work; not too much, however, for this is dangerous, and the development on extreme lines of sentiment has made many a grower bankrupt. Elements of Success. In specializing there are many impor- tant as well as minor conditions and principles which must be taken into consideration to insure success. While soil and climatic conditions, as well as easy access to good markets, are the principal ones, labor conditions and economy in the preparation of the soil, planting, cultivating and harvesting, with improved machinery adapted to special crops, must not be lost sight of. There is today hardly any crop which at some stage of its growth is not attacked by insect pests, although it may be immune from disease; it is therefore quite essential that the spe- cialist should be prepared to cope with these adverse conditions before much, if any, damage is done. Experience is a good teacher, but experimental work, even on the most economical lines possible, is expensive; ^$ hence I would advise the prospective specialist to become thoroughly familiar with the chemistry of 'agriculture, which includes the ability to analyze soils and prepare proper fertilizers, as well as insecticides and fungicides. From force of circumstances I have, unfortunately, been obliged to deny myself the pleasure of attempting to master thoroughly the scientific end of this work, hybridization, which in itself is enough to demand constant attention from one person, and I have found it quite impracticable to unite the scien- tific and commercial^ branches of the business and secure satisfactory results. I have therefore contented myself until recently with securing the seedlings of the world's most successful hyUridizers of this flower, the majority of which are from an enthusiastic banker, who has made the study of the gladiolus his life flower has not yet begun and the possi- bilities of further improvement have not yet been exhausted, even though to some it would seem that the acme of perfection h«C3\been reachedr As probiu)ly but few, if any, of you are fajuiMar with the fact that my in- dustry was not begun on a commercial basis, but is the development of a fad, I trust I may be pardoned if I preface . my remarks with a few references to Mhe early history and sentimental part M my work. Some Personal Bemlniscences. Meadow^ale Farm, Berlin, where I was born, lies in the Taconic range of mountains, in the valley of the Little Hoosac river, a picturesque stream, fed by mountain trout brooks, at every turn of which the lover of scenery is in- clined to place his camera. It was here, when a boy, that an unusual love for flowers took hold of me. No work work, and who, like your speaker, be- lieves that the real demand for this |- of my stock by the seedsmen of this in my mother's garden was too hard or irksome for me; her approbation and the pleasure in arranging bouquets with the flowers grown, more than repaid me. At- the age of fifteen I left home to attend school in the city and afterward to embark in business, during all of which time the garden at Meadowvale received my attention, although neces- sarily at intervals. Among all flowers I found none so attractive as the gladiolus, and al- though I grew many other kinds, to this one I gave special attention, buy- ing every year such as I could afford, and especially from the better varieties which the seedsmen might have unsold late in the season, and upon which I could secure lower prices. So it was that year after year my stock increased, both by purchase and growing, until I found myself with more than I could conveniently handle. My father re- marked to me at one time that, if I were not careful, I would have the entire farm planted to flowers. The thought then occurred to me: Why not make a business of growing the highest possible quality of these bulbs and sell to seedsmen and others? The result is that therb are few of the prominent American seedsmen of today who are not selling some of the Meadowvale product, ■ and through other channels large quantities are distributed annu- ally through every state in the Union; many thousands, also, are exported to foreign countries. You will note how easy it is for me to make these last statements. I wish to assure you, however, that it was no easy task to secure the indorsement and foreign countries, and not until I had established a demand in a retail way was I recognized. I do not men- tion these facts to discourage you, but rather to demonstrate thai no matter what may be the quality of one's prod- uct, so long as he is a new disseminator his path is not strewn with flowers. aiadioll in Their Wild State. The gladiolus or sword lily in its wild state is a native of South Africa, Mada- gascar and some parts of Asia. It is, therefore, more or less of a tropical or semi-tropical nature and had to be acclimated to be grown successfully in y other climates. There have so far been discovered about 140 wild species, many of them bearing beautifully colored, ^mall, dainty flowers. Comparatively few wild species, however, have been of great value in building up the sev- eral strains commercially and scientific- You'hful Planters of Braslan Seedi, San Jose, Cal. - .1 I » i^MiiiVtlXii Mabch 7, 1012. The Weekly Florists' Review. 19 ally that are recognized as standards of perfection in their respective types. Without close inspection even the pro- fessional grower could not detect the wild blood in many of the modern varie- ties, and he, too, is often puzzled and unable to decide to his entire satisfac- tion. The process of breeding up to the finer strains and varieties of the present day has been a long and tedious, yet interesting work, and one which has required much skill and study. In breeding, not only must the color, size and texture of flower be taken into consideration, but also many other at- tributes which are necessary to secure a well balanced plant. Some of these requirements I will mentiop: First, , strength and vitality of the bulb, giving ' it power to withstand the changes in soil and climatic conditions, without which the most beautiful flower would be worthless. With this feature I have had much to do, especially with foreign hybrids and self or field fertilized stock, upon the former of which I have spent many thousands of dollars in experi- mental work, in the end discarding beautiful specimens which, from the lack of this one requisite, were rendered valueless for dissemination. Other points which the successful hybridizer must consider are the proper number of flowers to a spike and their correct arrangement thereon, length and strength of spike, foliage, and the abil- ity to reproduce rapidly. Commercially, gladioli are divided into five classes or strains: Ganda- vensis, Lemoinei, Nanceianus, Childsii, and, last but not least, Groflf's hybrids. This last strain comprises all of the most desirable qualities of the others mentioned, without reference to the particular species from which they are bred, the highest standard of quality being sought for, irrespective of par- «ntage. Planting and Cultivation. Gladioli are increased in numbers in two ways: First, by the hard jiormels which form about the new bulb and above the old bulb planted, the latter of which dies in producing and nourish- ing its offspring; second, by the bulbs which grow from the center of, and the sprouts upon the side of the planted bulbs. These last mentioned are all of blooming size, and I have seen as many as seven bulbs so formed; this, however, is rare. The black cormels have to be culti- vated one, two and sometimes three years to produce strong blooming bulbs. They are planted, or rather sown in rows twelve inches apart. Two years ago I arranged a machine so that it would open the furrows, sow cormels and fertilizer, cover and press the earth on top, and this with two rows. For- merly the ground, after being thor- oughly pulverized, was furrowed by two men and a horse, six furrows being made at one time. Following this oper- ation, a man with a fertilizer distrib- utor, another with the cormel sower and the third with a hand-wheel plow com- pleted the planting. With the bulblets, those which are to produce salable or blooming stock, the process is quite different. These are first rubbed lightly over coarse screens to remove the roots which have become brittle during the storage period, and at the same time the small cormels which have adhered are loos- ened and passed through the screen. The Arthur G>wee. bulblets arie then carted to the fields in trays or bags. Drills are prepared thirty inches apart and about four inches deep, into which the bulblets are distributed, to be properly spaced and placed by hand by the large gang of men required, after which an ordinary potato hiller passing over the rows com- pletes this planting, leaving the bulb- lets about eight inches below the top of the covering. In about a week or ten days, according to weather conditions, the cultivating and weeding begin. While we formerly were compelled to do a great deal of hand weeding, the most of this work is now accomplished by the use of horse cultivators and weeders, which are kept busy until the plants begin to show bud. We calcu- late to start the cultivating just before the Weeds show above the ground, and by the time the spikes begin to appear few weeds are in sight and the soil has become quite level, so that the bulbs continue their growth about four inches below the surface. The Labor Question. Berlin being a small village, the labor question became a serious problem with me as the industry increased, to cope with which I conceived the idea of making use of "Weary Willies," or what are termed "hoboes," "tramps," "wandering workmen," or whatever you may choose to call them. The first season I managed to halt and employ about half a dozen, to whom at the end of the harvest, together /with the rest of my regular men, I ga>^ a chicken dinner. The second season more came and the third more still, so that accom- modations for taking care of them were not sufficient.' I then organized a camp, furnishing to every man a blanket and firewood for cooking, making a nomina\ charge of 25 cents per week per man. The result was that I did not laek for labor and was able to select my men according to their individual ability, for usually more arrived than I could employ. Neighboring farmers took^ ad- vantage of my surplus help and were more or less encouraged to increase their plantings. These men, as a general thing, are quiet, industrious and sober while in my employ, for I have made it a point to impress them with the fact that I consider them honest gentlemen until otherwise proven. Now and then, how- ever, by reason of some dishonest fel- low's answering to the name of an ab- sent man, the roll is called the second time and every man is required to step in line, so that the missing one is not again checked. Everything r^n smoothly until three years ago, when my hoboes struck for higher wages (I was paying $1.50 per day). I was compelled to accede to their demands, it being late in the sea- son and considerable valuable stock unharvested. The strike fever again attacked them the following season, but, fortunately, it was early in the harvest and I concluded to take a chance with local help, with which I managed to squeeze through. Since the second strike I have made it a practice to employ none of the men who were connected with it, and they all know that it is useless to apply again for work. Some of such return, however, and loiter about for a day or two hoping for an invitation; disappointed in this, they leave. A Useful Water Reservoir. Several years ago, having experienced 20 The Weekly Florists' Review^ March 7, 1912. an unusually dry season, I constructed a reservoir on the hill near the trout brook which crosses my farm, turning the water by means of a dam and canal, for spring freshets would not permit of large storage on the brook. From this reservoir a sufficient supply of water for irrigating purposes could be taken. On account of the rotation of crops and the fact that some of my fields were too distant to be reached by my pipe line economically, I was compelled to partially abandon irriga- tion. Nothing was lost, however, by the installation of this reservoir and pipe line, for the reservoir now fur- nishes us with plenty of ice, and the water through a 10-inch pipe, with a 200-foot head, develops sufficient power for lighting all of my buildings, and for the operation of my saw mill, where trays for the storage of bulbs and crates for the shipping of flowers are prepared. Custom sawing is also done, for the accommodation of the farmers of the town. Every season, soon after planting time, inquiries begin to arrive from the surrounding summer resorts: "When will your fields begin to bloom?" "When will your fields be at their best?" and other questions of similar purport. Even before there is much color in sight, automobiles, tally-ho coaches and vehicles of all descriptions begin their trips, which are continued throughout the season of blooming. Convenient roadways through the fields permit the visitors to examine more closely the different blocks of color and individual flowers, and, so far as it is practical, the plantings are arranged so as to show the colors in harmony. One enthusiastic annual visitor to my fields, an elderly gentleman who is an invalid, has his chauffeur station his auto up on the bank above the large field, where he can secure the best view, and he will sit there and gaze over the mass of color until the ladies of his party become impatient to return to their summer home in the Berkshires. A few years ago a moving picture was taken of my fields during a large cut- ting of flowers and was reproduced about the country for some time after. Cutting and Shipping. At the beginning of the blooming season shipments of cut spikes are made in lots of 100, in half-barrel baskets, but as the season advances these ship- ments are increased, requiring crates in which the spikes are packed standing upright. The spikes are cut when but one or two buds are developed, care being taken to cut little foliage, for if due consideration to this point is not given, the bulb is weakened. The flow- ers are allowed to wither, lying upon the ground for an hour or two, accord- ing to the temperature, and are then packed and taken to the station for shipment that night. Hotel dining tables throughout the country are kept supplied, from our fields, with shipments which, with proper care, furnish a creditable decora- tion for an entire week. The whole- sale and large retail florists in the city come in for their share of ship- ments, as this flower is most valuable for them at that season of the year, it being so hardy that it can be satis- factorily developed after having jour- neyed a distance requiring as long as forty-eight hours.

They came with some Calif or- nia violets. We. bought a variety for Princess of Wales, but they were small and of light color. This is a heavy bloomer. The stems were longer and the flowers larger than now. S. H. B. The flowers came much dried out and could not be named. If the Princess of Wales was small and light colored it was not true to name. This is the finest of all single violets, is dark blue and produced on long stems. Too early housing of single violets will cause the flowers to come paler in color and be produced less freely. On^ or two light freezings should always be given the plants before they are lifted; other- wise they will produce far too much foliage and the flowers will be of in- ferior quality. A suitable night tem- perature is 40 degrees as a minimum, C. W. VIOLETS FOR IDENTIFICATION. I bought some violets last spring, thinking I was getting Princess of Wales, I have been told, however, that they are not that variety and if they are not, I want to know it, I am sending under separate cover a sample of the blooms and leaves. You will see that some of the leaves are not perfect. They are dry about the edges and I do not know what to do for this. I have cleaned the leaves two or three times, but they become the same way again, S, M, The flowers were completely shriveled on arrival and could not be identified. It is necessary, in sending these or other flowers a considerable distance, to wrap damp cotton-wool or moss about the stems and they should also have been in water some hours before being packed. Tin or light wooden boxes are preferable to cardboard ones, which usually arrive crushed. The disease which affects the edges of the leaves is common among double violets. Single varieties are more im- mune from it. Better get new stock from a really reliable specialist for another year. Princess of Wales is a large, dark violet, produced on long stems. It succeeds best in solid beds, and the night temperature should run as near 40 degrees as possible in win- ter. The plants, to give the best re- sults, should be left out until they have had one or two moderate freezings. It is a great mistake to house them early, as they will then make a lot of rank foliage and bloom poorly. C. W, PRESIDENT VINOENT'S HOPES. President Vincent, of the S. A. F., purposes making organization the bat- tle-cry of his administration. That it is no new subject with him is shown by the fact that almost fifteen years ago, at the Providence convention of 1897, the question "Would Organizing State Societies of Florists Be of Any Benefit to the Florists or the Society of American Florists?" being up, Mr. Vincent spoke as follows: "Having been a worker for many years in an organization of the tillers of the soil, an organization that places its faith in the Giver of all things, and cooperation of all engaged in the culti- vation of whatever can be grown in the soil, a worker and not a leader or lee-, turer, I feel out of place to stand be- fore so critical an audience as I, see facing me. But having only been asked for suggestions, I simply give you my ideas on the subject and if there is any- thing in them worthy of your attention you wUl, I hope, adopt them, or any- thing that .will help the success of our association. "Yes; just as soon doubt the advis- ability of combination among other trades and pursuits. No vocation, no profession but is promoted by the coop- eration of those engaged in it. To say otherwise, to believe otherwise, would be to have the hands on the dial of progress moved .backwards, "Associations of those engaged in the same pursuits, with common inter- ests and with mutual aims, is the watch- word of the day. Whether it is the laborer in the mine, the shop, or the factory, the farmer in the field, physi- cian, lawyer or in whatever calling men may engage, the first step towards inde- pendence, advancement, self-protection and defense is the union of segregated individuals into a compact and mobile force, whose vital influence and efi&- cient power may be wielded as an ener- getic unit for the good of all. "Should the florist be an exception? Hath not a florist eyes? Hath not a florist hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions, fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, sub- ject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same summer sun and winter breezes as any other tradesman? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not have revenge? ' ' The effect upon the national society March 7, 1912. The Weekly Rorists' Review. 21 Side Hill Greenhouse of W. H. Weinschenk, New Castle, Pa. of a complete group of state societies, selecting the most advanced, intelligent and energetic members to send each year to its annual sessions, would be: "(1) To give it a representative character, and standing equal in dignity and power to associations of other busi- ness, and an efficiency not now pos- sessed. "(2) To enroll under its standard • those who are at present inert, luke- warm, or positively unfriendly. "(.i) The influence upon the indi- vidual florist might be counted: "(1) To stimulate to larger, broader views; take him out of the local and provincial field, and widen his vision; to consider his vocation in its national, even world-wide scope, and promote the interchange of valuable experiences, and inspire an esprit de corps in his class. " (2) To bring him personal gains by the advances necessarily secured where a thousand rivulets, bringing informa- tion, mutual aid, timely suggestion and friendly cooperation, will give volume and momentum to the resultant stream. "Let us have a state society in every state, and a tributary local club in every town and neighborhood where numbers will allow, and all links in a sentient chain, each one decessary to the com- pleteness and strength, to the efficiency and force of the national body, which, thoroughly representative in composi- tion and character, material and aims, will give us a place eminent among other organizations, honored and ap- plauded for good work throughout the land. Remember the fable of the bun- dle of arrows, each easily broken of itself, but once bound together, beyond any force to disrupt. Let us recognize and remember that with gardeners and florists as with every other profession and pursuit, however lowly or however exalted, *In union there is strength.' " GLOXINIAS FOE AUGUST. Please inform us when we should start bulbs of gloxinias and tuberous rooted begonias in order to have them at their best from August 15 on. D. F. C. Start the tuberous begonias and gloxinias right after Easter and you will have each in good flower from August onward. Also, if you have any seedlings of either begonias or gloxinias, sown during the present win- ter, these, if transplanted into flats of light soil and later potted, will flower at the time named. The gloxinias will require more heat than the begonias an^ are also more susceptible to injury from sunshine. C. W. THE "COMING" HOUSE. Frequent reference has been made during the last few years to the '*wide" house, as the "coming" house, and the illustration, reproduced here- with, of W. H. Weinschenk 's green- house at New Castle, Pa., indicates that the wide house arrived some time ago, for this house has been up long enough to have had a thorough test. Of course conditions have much to do with the style and construction of any greenhouse, and the hilly country around New Castle, Pa., particularly lends itself to the type shown. This is said to be the largest veg- etable house in the world; it is 120x600 feet; the long span of the roof is ninety feet; the glass is 20x30, laid twenty inches between the bars, and there is a total of 80,000 square feet of glass in the roof. For ventilation a double row of sashes at the ridge and a row in each wall below the eaves is used. Planting is done directly on the ground, the soil being plowed and culti- vated the same as in the open, with enormous crops of lettuce and tomatoes resulting. This house has proven so satisfac- tory that two more of the same gen- eral type are to be built at New Castle this summer. The John C. Moninger Co., whose pipe frame construction was used in "the house illustrated, is fur- nishing material to E. P. Weinschenk for a 226-foot extension to a house 100 feet wide formerly erected by him. Weinschenk & George are also going to erect a new Moninger iron frame, flat rafter house 125 feet wide, which will contain about 45,000 square feet of glass. This will give New Castle, Pa., three establishments with houses almost identical with the original, mak- ing a decidedly distinctive showing. FBEESIAS NOT FLOWERING. Our freesias this year were a com- plete failure. We use Purity and we potted them in 4-inch pots, giving them the usual treatment. The foliage de- veloped in good shape, but the flower spikes did not show at all. We have generally had good success in the grow- ing oL^hese pretty flowers and are at a loss to find a reason for this failure. The plants were chilled during the January cold snap, but were not touched by frost. Can you help us to locate the trouble? D. F. C. It is quite unusual for freesias not to flower at all. They succeed best in a night temperature of 50 degrees, but are sometimes grown a little wanner for early flowering, and often 5 to 10 degrees cooler. Provided you bought well matured bulbs and gave them correct cultural treatment, the flower spikes must have been destroyed while in a tender state by a sudden drop in temperature. You should be able to cut open the growths and find out if they are blighted inside. Heavy fumigation and excessive feeding will damage the foliage and adversely af- fect the flowers, but I have never known either to completely destroy the flowers while in an embryo state. C. W. TO KEEP BBUSHES SOFT. In looking over a newspaper I have just noticed a paragraph that has reference to the care of paint brushes and I thought that the suggestion offered on the subject might be of in- terest to many readers of The Review. So I am passing the paragraph along, without vouching for the correctness of the idea it contains. It reads as follows: "After finishing a job of painting, if you don't want a can of oil standing aroulid the house, fill the v bristles of the brush with a good supply of paint, carefully wrap it in paper, tie it securely with a string and place the brush on a shelf. The oil in the paint will soak the inner wrappings of the paper, thus preserving the brush in first-class style for two years. ' ' Wm. J. Brust. The Weekly Florists^ Review. J Mabch 7, 1912. DALE'S CATTLEYA. The photograph reproduced on this page gives a fair idea of a unique Cat- tleya Triana?, Dale's Variety, recently discovered by the orchid grower for the Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont. Botb in size and shape this flower is a magnifi- cent specimen, having great depth of petal, each measuring three and three- fourth inches. The whole orchid measures eight inches across, the lip being two and one-half inches wide, with a blotch of deep purple shading oflF to lavender around the margin, and bright orange running well into the throat. As will be seen, the flower is perfect in shape, as all segments overlap each other. This is the second "find" during the month of February. SEASONABLE NOTES. Shading. Many of the orchids will now be benefited by a little shade. It should be light in every case, for, although on some days we are now getting quite genial sunshine, on -others it is dark, raw and cold, and these conditions are likely to continue more or less during the month of March. The ideal orchid shade, and one almost exclusively used in Europe, is a movable one of either lath blinds or cloth. The former is the best, as it admits light, but breaks the direct rays of the sun. On account of their cost and the additional labor in- volved in manipulating the shadings, these have not yet become popular in America, except on some private estates. The general plan is to syringe or paint the glass with kerosene and lead, or some similar, easily applied shade. In applying shade now, care- fully avoid overdoing it. All that is yet necessary is to streak the glass or cover it with a light, cloud-like effect. The orchids requiring most shade are phalffinopsis, cypripediums and milto- nias. Odontoglossums should also have a little shade after the middle of March. Cymbidiums. Many of the cymbidiums are now pushing up their spikes, and at this stage the plants require a good water supply. None of the cymbidiums are warm house orchids. They succeed well in a night temperature of 45 to 50 de- grees. For compost I find fibrous loam, broken but quite lumpy, charcoal and fern fiber to be excellent. Three parts of loam and one part of fern fiber are about right, and the compost should be firmly packed in the pots. Cymbidium flowers have wonderful lasting proper- ties, both on the plants and cut. C. Lowianum will easily keep a month in water and three times as long on the plants. Cymbidiums do not flower freely until well potbound. A few good varie- ties to grow are C. Lowianum, C. ebur- neum, C. eburneo-Lowianum, C. Tracey- anum, C. insigne, also called Sanderi, C. Lowianum concolor and C. tigrinum. CkKlogyne Cristata. The several forms of Ccelogyne cris- tata are now in flower, or will be shortly, and care should be taken to increase the water supply somewhat. The plants will develop their flowers even if quite dry at the root, but this is a heavy tax on the bulbs and will cause them to shrivel much worse than they would otherwise do. Ccelogynes do not require a warm house; 50 degrees at night is sufficient, and they can be win- tered 5 or 10 degrees cooler than even this. The best form of C. cristata is that known as the Chatsworth variety. The bulbs are longer and more oval shaped than in the case of the old type, which has found bulbs and short spikes of inferior flowers. It is also a much shyer bloomer than this Chatsworth variety. C. cristata Lemoniana, with a pale lemon colored lip, is a beautiful form and keeps decidedly better in a cut state than C. cristata itself. C. cristata alba, with its pure white flow- ers, has a rather more sprawiy habit than the other forms, but flowers a little later. All ccelogynes are valuable in floral design work, and a few baskets or pans are of great value to any retail florist. When the bulbs become dense the plants need overhauling. This should be done after flowering. The plants will not bloom much the flrst season after being divided and it is therefore inadvisable to overhaul all the plants in any one year. Cattleya TriansB. Cattleya Trianee will bloom for a few weeks yet, although the bulk of the crop is now cut. As the plants pass out of bloom, any which require repotting should have attention. Possibly the removal of a little of the surface com- post and the replacing of it with some new fiber will answer for some. Others, which are rooting heavily over the sides of the pots, should have fresh receptacles. No cattleyas are in a really thriving condition with their roots outside, rather than inside, the pots. The old idea of giving the plants a long and rather severe rest after blooming is to a large degree exploded. As much as possible of the potting should be done now, while the weather is cool, and before other duties unduly crowd us. Give the plants good drain- age. Use the coarse brands of osmunda fiber for them, and be sure to firm the compost thoroughly. No orchids will thrive if . loosely potted. On warm, sunny days a light spraying overhead will benefit all the cattleyas. Be sure, however, that it dries before nightfall. Calanthes. The calanthe bulbs, which have been in a dormant condition since the flowers were out, are now showing new growths at their base and should be shaken out of the pots and started in flats of sand, moss and old cow manure. I always find that a little of the latter, if quite old, mixed in the sand and moss, starts more vigorous root action. Water spar- ingly at first; an oversupply will be liable to rot the bulbs and must be CatUeya Trianae, Dale's Variety. 7r7^^^STTf'¥!f:^^^''^'WyT^ ■'•t~i^.'-7''K'riT^'''r''n'\.^.-^ .''■•■■ ' ■,,/ Mabch 7, 1912.

A brisk heat should be given the bulbs at the start; 70 degrees at night is not too much. Laelia Anceps. The flowering period for Leelia an- ceps having passed, any rebasketing or potting should be done at once. It should not be necessary to overhaul these more than once in two or three years, but a little surfacing will be of advantage to many. Plants which have to be pulled to pieces will not establish themselves sufficiently to flower freely the succeeding winter, and it is not good policy, therefore, to repot too many. The various white forms of this charming Mexican orchid possess greater vigor than the colored ones. Their flowers are larger, possess more substance and keep better in water than the ordinary types, and also have a much greater commercial value. Such forms as L. anceps Stella, Sanderiana, Schroederiana and others will carry four to six flowers per stem, and these are worth as much money as the blooms of Cattleya Triana;. This laelia wants a cool, light house in the growing sea- son. The cattleya house is too warm for it. A carnation house, with just sufficient shade to prevent scorching of the foliage, is what they like, and the pans, pots or baskets shouid be hung well up to the glass. Laelia Jongheana. Laelia Jongheana, which was quite scarce until a decade ago, is now fairly abundant. It is a native of Brazil, and enjoys a little more heat than L. anceps. The cool end of the cattleya house suits it to a nicety, the plants being hung quite near the glass. This variety carries quite large flowers for so small a plant; they are occasionally six and seven inches across and average five inches. The flowers are quite flat and have less character than, for in- stance, L. anceps or L. elegans. The color is generally soft, rosy purple in the sepals and petals, the crisped lip being of a darker shade. Two to five flowers are carried on a sheath. L. Jongheana comes into flower with Cat- tleya Schroederiana, at a period when orchid flowers are not overabundant. It grows best in rather small, shallow pans, similar in size to those used for Oncidium Eogersii. The W. L Kirchhoff Company. Unitmn & MiMiiliu •iirrUitUli riorlrt. It.*ln ChlMCo.

In such a house the plants would keep green and make a little growth, rapidly deteriorating when the hot summer waves arrived. A far bet- ter plan, and one now more generally adopted, is to give them a light, sunny house and a temperature of 50 to 52 degrees at night. The sun will bronze the foliage, making it tougher and bet- ter fitted to stand the summer heat when it arrives. These odontoglossums can not be grown here as they are in Europe. They are surely the finest of all orchids when well grown, and cat- tleyas have to take a back seat. Their culture in America is, however, always likely to be attended with more or less uncertainty. Some day we may be able to cool houses for them, as we heat them today. If we are ever to grow them well we must gradually accustom them to a higher winter temperature, for the warmer we grow them, the bet- ter are they likely to withstand our trying summers. Quite a* few flower spikes are now pushing on the odontoglots and, to protect these from the attacks of snails, a piece of cotton-wool should be wrapped around the base of each spike. The danger of damage from snails is materially lessened if sphagnum moss is not used when potting them. O. citrosmum is now making its new growths, from which it will flower. It is better to keep the plants quite dry at the root for a little longer yet. The plants will flower all the better for it. ORCHIDS OUTDOOBS IN MESIICO. The photographs reproduced herewith are interesting as showing how orchids thrive outdoors in Mexico. As will be noted, they are not all Mexican species, several dendrobiums being included in the group by the side of which the native gardener is standing. The photograph of Cattleya Skinneri shows how well this does under the somewhat unusual conditions, a total of 312 flowers on the two plants having been counted by Ed. Howard, of Los Angeles, who made the photographs during one of his Mexican trips collecting plants for the Doheney conservatories. mS^V^^^ii^^H Sv3 ^ki3B Liv J LC^^I ^9 1 ^H^^B ^Vfl ^^1 ^L ^^l!^L^ sflBII IR I^H ■a 1 ^^^a a|^H^^ 4^^H ^H HH[ HE.1 ^9 ^^H SScf «' 2 1 J^^F ' ^ H^^^^^i' 1 Q^*a^3 i 1 • 1 ** Harvey's Orchids and a Native Mexican Gardener. 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mabch 7, 1012. POINTEBS IN PROPAGATION. Individual Preferences. The young grower, with a season or two of successful propagation to his credit, has usually some pet scheme for rooting his cuttings and can hardly be brought to acknowledge that there is any other method nearly as satisfac- tory. Only after he has moved around a little and seen other then equally sue-- cessful by other means does he begin to think there may be moves on the board with which he is unfamiliar. Then he who would have nothing but two-eye cuttings finds that cuttings with three eyes can actually be rooted and even make good plants. He who firmly decided for himself that nothing but half ripened, wiry wood was worth anything sees stock of a new variety being worked up and every available bit of wood, from soft tips to hard butts as thick as the little finger, going into the sand and finally rooting, and he comes to the conclusion that there are more things to propagation than were dreamed of in his philosophy. The Future of the Plant. But this does not alter the fact that there are conditions, both of the wood used and of temperature, which, other things being equal, lead to best results. In rose propagation the future of the plant has to be considered, as well as the fitness or unfitness of the cuttings to root. An extremely small, soft cut- ting may root all right and count one in the bunch when rooted, but it takes much longer to make a good plant than a cutting of proper size, and is liable, too, to disappear by damping oflf in the evolution ?rom cutting to plant. There- fore it seems to be decidedly worth while to select good wood for propa- gation— wood that will hold its foliage and will not wilt before rooting. Such wood makes plants more quickly, leads to a more even "strike" and a good, level batch of plants. Some Essentials to Success. A good knife is a trusty friend to the propagator and should be kept in order. Dull knives lead to sloping, jagged cuts, which, in turn, lead to damping oflf at the tops and a failure to callous freely below. Every bit of foliage that can be retained on the cutting helps to draw roots, so leave as much of the leaf as possible without crowd- ing when inserted in the sand. Medium and heavy wood may be cut in lengths bearing two, or at most three eyes; smaller wood, three to five, and these will root more regularly than will oth- ers cut all one length, irrespective of size or condition. The closer the lower cut is made under the lower eye, the quicker the cutting will callous, accord- ing to my experience. I do not care for cuttings split through the joint or those with no joint buried, occasional records of success with them notwith- standing. The House and the Bench. Much has been written and said on the subject of propagating houses, and many still think that the narrow, two- bench aflfair, with a center walk, or the still narrower, smaller lean-to with north exposure, is the ideal propagat- ing house. I once thought so too, but now any old bench in the rose or other houses that can be shut in below for the requisite bottom heat, and shaded above with linen, is good enough for me, and the small propagating house, , with its bench surface necessarily near the roof ventilators, may be used for incubator chicken raising, or anything rather than propagating. The question of bottom heat in re- lation to Jthat in the house resolves itself into the question of supplying enough at the bottom to callous the cut- tings well before the tops become ac- tive in growth. The actual figures are unimportant; the point is to keep the sand a few degrees hotter than the at- mosphere. A sand temperature of 70 degrees, with 8 to 10 degrees less above, is usually recommended and is, I be- lieve, as good an arrangement as pos- sible, though a few degrees higher or lower, provided the ratio is kept up, will be quite satisfactory. HOUSING ANTIBBHINUMS. Can outdoor snapdragons be taken into the greenhouse at this time of the year, here in southern Oregon, aod will they bloom successfully? TJiej' have bloomed in the open ground one vear. S. G. B. It is possible to lift old plants of snapdragons, plant them in benches and flower them with a fair degree of suc- cess. The plants should be taken up carefully, preserving all possible roots, and will probably require a light shade for a week or two until established. Of course, the tops should be cut back quite hard. You will not get as fine spikes by this method, however, as by potting on rooted cuttings or seedlings and benching from the pots. There is then no root disturbance and the plants start to grow vigorously at once. C.

About everyone who purchases a few plants for the summer garden wants a scented-leaved plant or two, and per- haps the greatest favorite is the Aloy- sia citriodora, better known as lemon verbena. Perhaps you have remem- bered to start a batch of cuttings. If not, place one or two of the old plants, which have been kept dormant over winter in a cool cellar, in a moderate heat and spray freely. There will soon be a nice crop of cuttings obtainable, and these, if rubbed off with a heel, will root without trouble in a good bottom heat, and, if potted off, will make nice stock for May and June sales. Mature wood of lemon verbenas does not root readily, and the propa- gation, while it may be done in the fall, is much better if carried out now, as the little plants can be kept right on growing. Dutch Bulbs for Easter. Many inquiries are being received concerning the care of Dutch bulbous plants wanted for Easter. There is often a difficulty in retarding bulbs for Easter, particularly when it comes late, but the long, cold winter has materially helped to keep back this class of plants for what is a moderately early Easter. Provided that the bulbs are either outdoors and well protected, or are in a cold cellar, bedded in ashes, they need not be housed until three weeks before Easter. This would give ample time to flower any of the pans of tulips, narcissi or hyacinths. Should we get an unusually cold spring, a little forcing may be needed, while, on the other hand, a mild wave will send them on with a rush and necessitate storing them a few days in a cool cellar. None of the bulb stock should require to be grown in the dark at all. It will be stockier and better in every way if exposed to full light from the first. Let all have an abundant water supply. Liquid manure twice a week will be an advantage, discontinuing this when the flowers start to develop. Spiraeas.

Merton Gage, secretary of the American Gladiolus Society, sends The Beview a copy of the Handbook of the National Gladiolus Society of Great Britain, which contains much of interest to gladiolus growers in this country. It is the general report that trade dropped off after Ash Wednesday rather more sharply than in the last few years, and that it has not yet recovered, but that the winter season was unusually good. The report is general that funeral work was remarkably heavy during the first six weeks of the year. Heretofore the problems of the florists have been those of production rather than of distribution, and the great majority of growers located in the residence dis- tricts or the smaller cities still are pro- ducing less than they sell, but for ten months in the year the city wholesalers now must seek an outlet for their Stock, which presents an entirely different situ- ation for the attention of the retailer distributors. THE PRICE OF GLASS. At the moment there is no price on window glass. That might seem like good news to the greenhouse man, but the fact is that March 1 the factories withdrew all quotations, and the job- bers promptly did likewise, pending an adjustment of wage scales at a meeting in progress this week at Cleveland. The trade understands that as soon as the men have been settled with, new prices for glass will be announced, probably before the end of the week. What the new prices will be is guesswork until they actually are announced, but there is unanimous opinion that there will be an advance. Greenhouse sizes are not in large supply; in fact, they are so well cleaned up that, low as the prices have been, the greenhouse sizes actually have been selling at a higher price than the other sizes in the same bracket. Therefore some of the deal- ers think the advance on greenhouse sizes will not be so great as on other small sizes, while some apply the oppo- site reasoning and look for a bigger boost on the greenhouse sizes than on any others. The probability is that the advance will be not less than 20 cents per box, and possibly 30 cents. FAKE SUBSCRIPTION AGENTS. The Review repeatedly has warned the trade not to pay money to stran- gers for its account — all those author- ized to represent The Review are well known in their respective communities — this paper has no traveling solicitors. Pennsylvania and the contiguous states appear to be an especially fertile field for the fake subscription agent,, for most of the complaints of this petty swindle come from that section. In nearly every instance the florists wh» are caught are victimized by an offer of something for nothing. It is the old story. No matter what other publishers may do in the way of giving premiums^ trading stamps, or coupons, no such methods a^e employed by The Review; circulation) built by offering something the prospect will buy when he wouldn't buy the paper for itself is valueless to the advertiser, that's why. The Re- view, like the space in it, is sold on its merits. When someone offers you a book or any other article at half price, or free, if you will pay him for a year of The Review, know thereby that it is time to call the police. Special Warning I At Philadelphia a man signing him- self M. B. Briggs has represented him- self as a canvasser for the Franklin Square Agency, of New York. There is such an agency, but it is not author- ized to take subscriptions to The Re- view, though Briggs has done so. The Franklin Square Agency states that Briggs is an impostor, for whose arrest and conviction a reward of $25 is of- fered by the Periodical Publishers' As- sociation of America, 156 Fifth avenue. New York city. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The week in which February ended and March began gave the wholesalers and growers the biggest kind of a jolt — it gave them cause for serious thought, but the harder they used their thinkers the more disconcerted and be- wildered some of them became; the future is not at all clear. In the years of its greatest growth the profits in the flower business have been so good that there was ample room to make a living for even the growers with the most lax methods; but times have been changing. This season average prices have hardly been up to other years during the time that not much was being cut, and now that the spring crops are on, the bottom has so fallen out of the market that not a few of the large class of happy-go-lucky grow- ers wonder what their finish is going to be. For the wholesalers' part of it, some of them have had so little stock that for the greater part of the winter they have been content to sell it locally and have let the shipping trade drift away; with these the glut is far more serious than it is with the houses that have catered consistently to the out-of.-. town trade. For the last fortnight the market has been going down so steadily, and so rapidly, that even the most business-like growers and the most pro- gressive wholesalers have been asking themselves if it is going to keep on get- ting worse every year or if the recent condition merely has been the result of some combination of circumstances •*^sr^.^'K'^ \" r\ :• Mabch 7, 1912.

Nobody has the answer, but Fleischman 's celebrated page-ad sale has dropped completely out of the discussion. Fleischman merely looked a few days into the future, that was all. Anybody could sell at Fleisch- man's prices any time these last two weeks. It is some days now since any flower has been short of the demand. The weather has been unseasonably cold and the demand abnormally light. Stock has been so plentiful that forced sales have been the rule, even with roses, al- though these have done better than other flowers. The supply of Beauties, as well as of the Killarneys and Rich- mond, is increasing, and with the in- crease prices recede. The wholesalers hope for an improvement, but can not see just where it is coming from. The heaviest oversupply is of En- chantress carnations, although white is not much better off. The greater part of the receipts have been sold to the special sales people. The price has been from $10 per thousand to $5 per thousand. Violets have refused to clean up at as little as $1 per thousand, the weather being too cold for street wear. Probably they will sell when it is warmer. White and lavender sweet peas have been difficult to move, but pink has done better. Even orchids have accumulated, more because of light demand than because of large supply. With no real market for the big sta- ples, the fate of the bulbous stock and the miscellaneous flowers of more or less indifferent quality is easier imag- ined than described. a For the Florist Who Advertises A Newspaper AdvartlsliiK Cut Sarvic* The kind of copy that you use In your newspaper ad- vertisements iB what governs the results that tlioy brlntr.

Business picked up a little March 4, but the demand was not strong enough to raise prices; all that it did was to give a somewhat better clean-up than was had during the preceding week. Everyone is hoping for settled, mild weather to draw the people out of doors. It is thought that then most flowers will sell at some price and that the waste will be greatly reduced. Retailers are reporting the usual dropping off to trade during Lent, but at the same time everyone Seems to agree there is more funeral work than has been the rule in former years. This condition has prevailed, according to those who have reason to know, ever since the first touch of winter. Various Notes. It is announced that E. E. Pieser, who enjoys being called the Peony King, has closed a deal with the Chi- cago Carnation Co., Joliet, for the pur- chase of all the roots in its big field of peonies. The plantation includes ten acres. The terms have not been made public, but it is stated that the sellers have valued the stock at $1,000 an acre. The Carnation Co. is to have the 1912 crop of blooms and the pur- chaser is to dig the roots in the autumn. Mr. Pieser states that he will sell most of the stock, using the remainder for planting on one of his farms. The lease being about to expire on the ground now occupied by Geo. C. Wagner's greenhouse, he states that he will be forced to remove it this spring to make way for a new building. Mr. Wagner's place is known to all the trade as the old Hobbs plant and is located at Thirty-first street and In- diana avenue. D. D.

An instantaneqns change from ugliness to beauty ; from a repellent clay pot which detracts greatly from the most graceful plant, to a dainty pot cover that adds to the beauty and attracts the plant buyer, has been made possible by Ever-Ready Flower Pot Covers which are now used by leading florists throughout the country. They are made in sizes and shapes to fit any pot or pan and stand unlimited wear and tear. A strong cardboard foundation covered with best quality waterproof crepe paper, tied with silk fiber ribbon at the top and bottom and firmly fastened with metal clips— such is the Ever- Ready.

Grey Co. reports a tremendous in- crease over 1911. This firm has taken an additional floor and all hands are up to their ears in business. February proved an unusually cold month and March has been frigid so far. With low prices and prospects of a coal famine, the florists' outlook is not bright, but Easter is coming and winter, it is hoped, will soon pass. Mention Tbe Review when yog write.

Arnold has secured a stall in the city market house and he is now there attending to the shop daily. He has just completed one more large greenhouse and will build two others this summer. His spring stock is in fine condition, the geraniums especially. His cyclamen are extra fine this year, and he has had no trouble in disposing of them. He also has a large stock of vinca vines, and roses in pots for spring sales are coming on in good shape. He is the heaviest grower in this line in or about this market. Samuel Murray has been taking extra pains to fix his show window for the last two weeks. The old saying is that "'competition is the life of trade," Arthur Newall has moved up close to him and the two shops now make the city block quite attractive. Wm. Foith is cutting sweet peas by the thousands. The prices are rather low, $4 per thousand being the mini- mum. W. H. H. WORCESTER, MASS. Roger Newton Perry, though only 18 years of age, is now fully embarked in the florists' trade at 82 Park ave- nue, after rather a notable career as a young amateur. Being ordered by his physician to live outdoors, he has had his garden and flowers since he was 8 years old. In 1905, at the age of 11, he began exhibiting at the shows of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety, in Boston, where he won many first prizes. In 1909 he entered the children's contest organized by Double- day, Page & Co. through the Garden Magazine, taking first prizes the last three years. In the Garden Magazine of February, 1911, appeared an article which was written by him and which summed up his nine years' experience in garden work. In 1908 he became a member of the Worcester Horticultural Society, where he had exhibited with children since 1904. Last fall he be- gan the erection of a greenhouse, do- ing most of the work with his own hands, but necessarily calling in a little outside help. This greenhouse, 20x50, was finished in January.

The question has sometimes been asked, "Is it not difficult to write a market report each weekt" Not at all. Get the facts, consider them, and describe truthfully. That is all, unless it be added that work of any kind re- quires one's best efforts to achieve success. The conditions in the market this week are such that description is painful to peruse rather than pleasant, so it will be brief. There are more flowers, and there is less business, than a week ago. A glance at the price list does not show this clearly, because flowers are sold at the same figures that they brought one week ago, but fewer qualify in the higher grades. Many more go into the lower grades. Many add little or nothing to the receipts. The return of winter, the absence of flower buyers from the city, the increase in produc- tion, all aid in the demoralization of the market. The quality of much of the stock is excellent. This is par- ticularly true of carnations. Many of them are of exhibition standard. The volume of business would be consid- ered fair for the second week of Lent were it not for the unusual cost of production and for that difficult prob- lem, the surplus. A Oood Sport.

Mention Tbe Review when yoa vnte He met his visitors with a hearty wel- come, showed them his dandies with pride and courteously answered their questions. At length the propagating house was reached; the type is familiar, a long, narrow house, with a central walk and sand-filled bench on either side. Thou- sands of dandies had been carefully set out in the sand, but something had gone wrong; many had lost their foliage, many were rotting, few were rooting. It was a distressing sight. The visitors sympathized, consoled, suggested, ad- vised. He looked calmly at the wreck and only smiled; not a word of re- proach for himself or anyone else, not even a solitary cuss word escaped him, he simply talked pleasantly and smiled. Perhaps you will think this is a poor story. It may be that you will throw down your paper in disgust; yet con- sider among your friends how mauy of them could have such true sports- manship. That man was not only the- Champion Dandelion Grower of Swain- sonia; he was a thorough sport in alii that the term implies and a true gentle- man. Various Notes.

This work is done mostly by girls, who generally have a better eye for colors than men or boys, and consists in removing plants from mixtures, color sections, and named va- rieties, which from carelessness during the winter's work have been misplaced. You can readily appreciate that a pur chaser of a delicate pink or almost pure white variety at from $5 to $12 per dozen would not be pleased to find in ills purchase shades of red, or inferior iiowers of any color, the bulbs of which could be purchased at much lower prices. We therefore exercise the ut- most caution to prevent such an occur- rence. The bulbs so removed, being immature, are lost. Also during the blooming season the work of classifying the new seedlings for naming and the preparation of new color sections must be cared for. Here is where superior judgment and knowl- edge of existing varieties is required. New varieties are selected, and num- bered tags are wired to the spikes, the bulbs of which are separately lifted at harvest time >and placed by themselves, to be further'"TT»e¥^ased. These are usually offered singly or in collections of six, ten or twelve bulbs, to introduce them and prepare the way for the sale of larger quantities. Special attention is given to the preparation of special 48 The Weekly Florists' Review. March 7, 191; Ferns Galax Moss HEADQUARTERS FOR SOUTHERN WILD SMILAX $3.00, $4.00 and $5.00 per case.

With some indi- vidual varieties so selected, many years are required to work up a stock suffi- ciently large to be placed upon the market, and with some growers prices are not always an indication of quality, but the barometer of production. This principle I avoid as much as possible, preferring to adjust prices according to quality and increase confidence in my standard of values. In the growing of gladioli, care should be exercised in the selection of proper soil, fertilizers, etc., and we seldom grow more than three years in succession on the same soil, giving a rotation of crops, such as oats with timothy and clover, and then corn or potatoes. High-grade commercial fer- tilizers and a measured dressing of lime when needed, give us an excellent cut of hay, and the heavy greensward, top- dressed with stable fertilizer the same season, furnishes not only ideal corn ground for the following spring, but places the soil in the best condition for the reception of bulbs the following year. Harvesting and Storing the Bulbs. New varieties are secured from seed only, this being gathered before frost has touched the plant, and, after dry- ing, it is stored in a cool, dry place. The gladiolus is not hardy; hence the bulbs must be lifted in the fall and «tored in a cool, dry temperature. In the storehouse we try to keep the tem- perature as near 40 degrees as possible. The harvest time is usually the most anxious part of the season, for in our section of the country the time is neces- sarily limited in which to lift and store our bulbs, and inclement weather often delays the final digging so that in some seasons the frosted earth has to be first removed before spading. The greater part of our crop is first loosened in the soil by a double plow, which works on either side of a single row, partly lifting the bulbs, after which the men pull them from the FANCY OR DAGGER FERNS $1.25 per 1000.

They are then placed upon screens and the soil and loose cormels are sifted therefrom, after which they are taken to the storehouse and placed in trays four inches deep by tvpo feet wide and four feet long. After the curing process in the store- house, the roots are removed. This work is done mostly by boys and girls. During the early winter and until plant- ing time in the spring, the bulbs are sized, counted and shipped in barrels, cases or small mail packages as the orders demand. Commission cases are also distributed in various towns for the convenience of small local buyers. Gladioli are among the easiest of flowers to cultivate, thriving in almost any garden soil, if it is well fertilized in the fall and thoroughly respaded in the spring. They should be given all the sun possible. While I do not recom- mend planting too close to a building, if such a location is not too shady, excel- lent results may be secured. I do not wish to convey the idea that this flower requires no care, for, to se- cure the best results, proper soil con- ditions should be chosen (preferably sandy loam), and the planting, the cul- tivation during the growing season anfd the proper methcffi^f harvestinff>«Tid storing should all ij(Acaj:efully fl^nsid- ered- I do say, howevW, withmit fear of contradiction, that thei'S'lsBO flower which can be more easily grWsra, or which will give greater results and sat- isfaction, commensurate with cost and labor, than the gladiolus.

Sunnyside, Wash. — The Sunnyside Floral Co. has completed the erection of a greenhouse plant in this town, the first in the locality. They have a crop of lettuce in it at present, but it is their intention to grow carnations and bedding plants for local and export trade in the future. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. Conditions are about as last reported, with ])lenty of carnations and a notice- able scarcity of bulbous stock. Many of the growers are talking of planting their houses to vegetables and it looks now as if there might be a shortage later. Lilies for Easter are coming on nicely and, with the present bright weather, there will be no extra heavy forcing to get them in on time. Various Notes. Tlie entertainment by the Florists ' Club to the ladies on Thursday evening, February 15, was well attended. The address of welcome by Mr. Beeles was followed by a short program, after which refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Among the out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Holze, of Seattle, and :\rr. Scott, of Portland. J. L. S. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business has been slightly improving the last week. The clearer weather and absence of rain for some days have helped the sale of flowers, as well as tending to improve the quality of the stock. The supply of almost every kind of flower in season is still rather in excess of demand, but there are fewer complaints on account of dull trade. Carnations are not coming in (juite so plentifully and the stock is now in first-class condition. With a' little better prices, growers and retail- ors would feel better. Roses, violets and bulbous flowers are plentiful and meeting a fair demand. The frosty mornings lately have not Asparagus Plumosus fpicn^cn Out of 21nch pots, $3.00 per 100.

Growth on hardy plants is much earlier than usual, but the frost so far has not been severe enough to hurt. Various Notes. Mrs. L. W. McCoy had her windows prettily decorated with some early flow- ering prune branches this week. The Aabling-Ebright Co., seed mer- chants at Pike place, are reporting a large increase in their business this year. They handle, in addition to a full line of seeds, nursery stock, and ponltrv and bee keepers ' supplies. T. W. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market. Business is only fair at the present writing and the excessively dry weather continues. We are about twelve inches short of the average rainfall and con- ditions are beginning to have a serious aspect. Flowers of all kinds are plenti- ful, with the exception of violets, which are getting near the end of their season. Daffodils and narcissi are not as abun- dant as they have been and tulips of the early sorts are on the wane. There are plenty of the later varieties in sight and if we have favorable weather there will be heavy cuttings for quite a while to come. Carnations average about $2 per hun- dred, with quantities of all the best selling kinds. Roses are better than they were during the warm spell of a week ago. Brides, Maids, Liberty and Kaiserin sell at from 50 cents to $1 per dozen and Beauties at about twice those prices. Wild flowers will soon be a factor to be reckoned with. Fruit blossoms, owing to the drying winds m£ the last ifew days, are not as good or as much in evidence as they were about one year ago. Freesias and valley move slowly. Easter lilies are only in about sufiicient quantity to fill require- ments. From all indications, however, there will be plenty for the Easter tra'de, which promises to be good this season. Various Notes. Martin Reukauf, of H. Baycrsdorfer & Co., reports good business on his Pacific coast trip this season. Chas. C. Navlet, of the C. C. Xavlet Co., of San Jose, is in town.

Asparagus plumosus continues short; in fact, all greens, with the pos- sible exception of Mexican ivy, are scarce. There is a wider range of orchid flowers shown, but cattleyas and phalaenopsis are the best sellers. Various Notes. W. R. Wood, of Roeding & Wood, 1603 East Washington street, has just returned from a trip which included a call at the Fancher Creek Nurseries, at Fresno; their Exeter Nursery, in Tu- lare county, and Arizona points. Large quantities of citrus fruit trees are now being shipped. Sir Watkin daffodils are a specialty with Creutz & Co. at their new store on Hill street. I noted some magnificent My Maryland roses here and all the stock is in fine order. Frank Lichtenberg has been doing splendid business at the establishment of Thee Florists, 328 North Fifth street, now having the store in his own hands. He has secured the decorations for the great land show at the Fiesta park. A good deal of the work will, of course, have to be of artificial flowers, as the show remains open from March 12 to 28, In the main hall, sixty-seven pil- lars will be twisted with natural palm leaves, 10,000 of these being used. A fine pall of white roses, outlined with violets, was on the stocks during my last visit. Theo. Folerie, of Goldfield, Nev., was here a couple of days recently, visiting wholesalers in the interests of Felis Bros., to whom he has sold his busi- ness. Mr. Folerie was en route to Chicago via San Francisco. C. Morton, of the Los Angeles Flower Market, reports business rushing; in- deed, one can see that at any time the store is visited. A glance at the ship- ping tags shows the big expanse of country covered by Los Angeles ship- ments. At the wedding of Miss Letts, at her father's home at East Hollywood, Feb- ruary 27, Wright's Flower Shop had the decorations, which were elaborate. Over 300 guests were invited. Pink roses and lily of the valley were the principal flowers used. A church of flowers was set up in the house. The bride carried a bouquet of white or- chids; the bridesmaids had pink roses. Some of the finest long-stemmed My Maryland roses ever seen in this mar- ket are now being shipped by Dieterich & Turner from their Montebello plant. By the way Henry Turner eyes the big pile of glass in boxes that is ready on the ground, one can see he is itching to begin greenhouse building again. Walter Armacost and E. Royston, of Sawtelle and Ocean Park, were recently here in consultation with Mr. Turner on greenhouse building operations. The Los Angeles County Horticultural Society is to be warmly congratulated in that Henry Kruckeberg consented to act as its secretary. Already his busi- ness methods are showing fruit. He has a decisive manner of doing things and a get-there style that is going to bring great results if only the members act loyally, in unison with him, and each one gives whatever aid he is capa- ble of. No better man could be found in California and we have all good cause to be proud of our secretary.

Morris, George Watson and John Gordon went to the Vernon fight arena recently — but that is another story, "not for publication." During the terrific wind storm of February 23 and 24 greenhouse men in this locality were fortunate. The worst loss was that suffered by George Wat- son, at Boyle Heights, who reported about $50 worth of glass broken. Sev- eral lath houses were damaged exten- sively. Changes have been made in the fit- tings at the store of the Hayward Flo- ral Co., on Sixth street. Considerably more room and light are now afforded and some fine kentias, large specimen Boston ferns and philodendrons are now tastefully displayed. The double red hawthorns now being sent in by Ed. Rust, of South Pasa- dena, make a pretty display in the lead- ing retail stores. The plants are shape- ly and well flowered. Paul J.

Either you have placed the bulbs in the soil too late or have kept them too dry at the root. They should all be planted by November 15, and a month earlier would be better. If you had good roots, the tops would come all right, but you can not expect good flowers without plenty of active roots. I would place the bulbs in a house where there is a little fire heat, soak thoroughly with water if not moist, and cover with ashes. To have the tulips, narcissi and hyacinths in flower for Easter, you should have tops at least three inches long by March 20. In a temperature of 50 degrees at night the various bulbs would then flower on time. C. W.

The annual event known as "Carna- tion Night" with the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society will be held in Madison, Wednesday eve- ning, March 13. Three papers on the carnation will be read: On "Culture," by G. F. Neipp, of Chatham; on "Prop- agation," by George Hubbard, of Chas. H. Totty's establishment; on "The Carnation of Today and Twenty Years Ago," by John Downing. Madison is strong in carnations and a good lot of standard varieties may be looked for. The society wants all possible consignments of novelties. All consignments sent to Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., will be carefully looked after, and there is lots of room to stage them to the best possible advantage. E. CINCINNATI. The Gateway to the South. The lenteu season has hit the local market one awful wallop. At the time of this writing stock is piling up every day and there are few, if any, pros- pects of cleaning up much of it. Open- ings from now on will use some and will be a big help. The great bulk of the work now, however, is for funerals, while shipping business continues good. The rose supply is again adequate and before the end of this week will probably be more than sufficient, for they are coming in stronger each day'. Richmond and good American Beauties clean up each day. The offerings of the other colors and varieties are large and good in respect to quality. Carnations have dropped to the low- est point they have been since the sea- son for them opened. They are in large supply and the market is unable to use all of them. Many, however, are so (1, but at buyers' prices. The white sell up the best of all. Violets meet with almost no call, and, strange to relate at this time of the year, the same words will almost tell the condition of the market for longi- florum and calla lilies.

Winter still lingers. The week closed in the embrace of another cold wave. This continued over Sunday, crimping the enterprise of the street men, who, with the department stores, seemed to be the only relief to an overstocked market. Hundreds of boxes of violets were left unsold, and actually thrown awaj'. There was no stability to values in anything, even American Beauties declining. The underlying cause of the general depression seems to be overproduction. Great in size as is the New York mar- ket, it is not big enough to digest, properly, the immense shipments. There is now no shortage of anything, and some stock, tulips especially, can hard- ly be given away. Eoses are overabun- dant; with any warm weather the streets will be flooded with them. Eas- ter is only four weeks distant, and Harrisii are already coming from Ber- muda. An exceptionally mild winter there has brought the blooms in earlier than usual. • Send your Orders for Chicago and Snb- nrbs to 22»fT!~^*^ on St"* All orders carefuUy flUed ^'«23W.Mat attention.

Patrick O'Mara will be toastmapter. Ladies will be presented with a handsome silver sou* venir. There will be fine orchestral and vocal music and an interesting pro- gram. Monday, March 11, at 3 o'clock, all bowlers who are members of the New York Florists' Club are invited to meet at Thum's alleys, Broadway and Thirty-first street. If spring delays its opening any long- er, it will be Tuesday, March 19, when the first horticultural auction house opens its doors for the season. The two old established depots on Vesey street will probably handle the bulk of this distributive enterprise. Large importations are on the way, one house having half a million roses engaged. Charles Millang continues to improve in health. His indomitable pluck and will power have had much to do with his rapid convalescence. He will be back at business before the week is over. A. Moltz & Co. have sublet every inch of floor space on the first floor of the Coogan building, and now this floor is almost as busy a scene morn- ings as the headquarters of the Cut Flower Market, two floors above. Al- most the whole building now is given over to the trade. The fifth annual ball of the Greek- American Florists' Association, Feb- ruary 28, was a great success. The decorations were artistic and abundant. Every lady received a corsage of roses, orchids or violets. The Greek consul led the grand march with Mrs. Poly- kranas as his partner, over 2,000 taking part. The usual liberal courtesy of the organization was everywhere in evidence and the festivities lasted un- til daylight. Nearly every prominent wholesaler and dozens of the employees were present. George Polykranas is president of the society, J. J. Fellouris. secretary, and D. J. Pappas, treasurer. A fine stereopticon program was pro- vided before the dancing began. Myer, at Fifty-eighth street and Madison avenue, is back from an auto trip south, and busy with dinner dec- orations. Thursday, March 7, the New York and New Jersey Association of Plant Growers will make the annual spring inspection trip, calling on the Long Island establishments.

These plant growers go the limit in every legitimate enter- prise. Max Schling, on West Fifty-ninth street, next door to the Plaza hotel, has had another unique decoration in Montreal, Canada, the second elaborate affair of the season at which he has officiated and affiliated with our non- reciprocative neighbors. The conservatory of William Kess- ler is brilliant in color and variety, Easter plants already being staged for the holiday inspection. Charles Weber, of Lynbrook, where the fine Brooklyn carnations are grown, was instrumental in sending a horse poisoner to Sing Sing for nine years last week, and was fortunate to dis- cover his villainy in time to save his valuable horses. The Misses Horn and Hess, 767 Lex- ington avenue, will dissolve partnership after Easter, one of the young ladies having consented to a partnership of a more interesting kind. McKenney, at Forty-second street and Fifth avenue, was handling some fine yellow callas in pots last week, ob- tained through Woodrow & Marketos. The engagement is announced of Herman Berchad, of Trepel's Loeser branch in Brooklyn, to Miss Hannah Voit, of the same city. Frank E. Verona, secretary for C. C. Trepel, was married March 5 to Miss Isabel Wuer- pel, of Jersey City. The young lady is an accomplished musician. Night work is in full swing at every seedsman 's establishment.

The Market. Although Lent is certainly affecting the trade to a slight extent, business is good for this time of year. Corsage bouquets of violets, valley and sweet peas are in big demand and there is the usual call for funeral designs. Stock is arriving in excellent condition and there is a bountiful supply of every- thing, with the exception of Beauties; in fact, there are none of the latter to be had. A trip through the greenhouses in and around the city is all that is needed to convince one that Easter is drawing near. The growing stock is in excellent condition. There has been plenty of sun and by the time the holi- day season arrives, every grower should have stock in plenty. Roses and carna- tions will be excellent, while lilies will be better than ever. Various Notes. .John H. Dunlop has a large crop of lilies and says his stock was never before in such good condition. Frank Smith, of the Connon Floral Co., Hamilton, Ont., was in town for a couple of days recently. J. H. Dunlop had one of the biggest and most beautiful decorations seen here in a long while, when Mrs. Hamil- ton Merritt gave a large dinner at the King Edward. J. S. Simmons reports an excellent lenten trade and is looking forward to a good Easter business. E. A. F. BEATRICE, NEB. At a meeting of the Dole Floral Co., held February 28, the resignation of Edward W. Dole as manager was ten- dered and accepted, and George M. Johnston, Jr., of Kansas City, was, elected as his successor.

(N'ot knocking Congressman Mann.) A man of seeds And not of deeds Is like a garden Full of weeds. — B. I,. T. in Cliieago Tribune. The man whose catalogue was late was not so far behind, after all, this year. Spring officially is a week old but, practically, not many seed buyers have been able to see any other sign of it than the pile of bright covered catalogues on the reading table. The counter trade is beginning to show some life in eastern cities, but in Chicago and the west cold lamb was on the menu for March 1 and there was lit- tle stirring in the way of counter trade up to that date. The changes in the tem- perature sliow on the cash register. The W. W. Barnard Co.. 231 West IMadison street, Chicago, has its large and handsome new store completed and ready for the rush of counter trade that is sure to come as soon as the Avinter breaks. The show windows i)resent an enticing appearance to the thousands of suburbanites who pass. The February mail orders are various- ly reported, some of the houses that have been forging ahead the last few years reporting another gain as compared with 1911, but on the whole the trade has no more than held its own in Febru- ary, as in January. The severity of the winter has held the orders back.' A rec- ord-breaking rush generally is thought to bo in early prospect. AT LAST, THE RAIN! [Night letter telegrams.] .Santa Cruz, Cal., March 5. — A long needed rain began falling in the Santa Clara valley March 4 and continued through March 5. The San Juan val- ley got a nice shower the night of March .3 and there are good indications of more to come. — G. L. Grant. Carpinteria, Cal., March 5. — To March 1 this has been the driest sea- son in southern California for forty- eight years. We are now getting light rains, which are very encouraging, al- though by no means insuring crops. -TO THK TRADK- HENRY METTE, auedlinbui^, Gennany ^^"^~'™^''^^" (ESTABUSHEU IN 1787) Grower and Exporter on the very larseat scale of all CHOICE VEGETABLE, FLOWER and FARM SEEDS Specialties: Beans, Beets, Cabbages, Carrots, Kohl-Rabi, Leeks.

Inquiries reaching The Review indi- cate that there is an impression in the trade that the Ways and Means Com- mittee of Congress is at work on a revision of the duties on horticultural goods. A Chicago congressman is the ranking republican member of the com- mittee and also has a more or less inti- mate acquaintance with nursery and seed trade interests. An inquiry ad- dressed to him brought the following telegram : Washington, D. C, March 6. — Commit- tee on Ways and Means has done noth- ing yet about revising tariff of seeds, bulbs and plants. — James B. Mann, M. C. ROBINSON AT ROCKY FORD. It is announced that the J. C. Robin- son Seed Co., Waterloo, Neb., has taken over all the interests and stock of the Rocky Ford Seed Growers ' Association, Rocky Ford, Colo. In elaborating on the announcement a local paper at Rocky Ford says in part: "J. C. Robinson is acknowledged to be the largest wholesale vine seed deal- er in the world, and during the last twenty-five years has handled more Rocky Ford seeds than all the other seed dealers and has had contracts with all the seed growers in this section.

FLORISTS' REVIEW When Writing Advertiserii For several years our salesmen complained that our price on a cer- tain size lily bulb was too high — com- petitors were selling the same size apparently at lower prices. But when we bought a case of the lower priced bulbs — dumped them side by side with our own, it did not take much to convince the men that the bulbs at $6 less per case were fully $12 poorer in size and quality — our case being incomparably better and cheaper in the end. Our salesmen would have been ashamed to sell the lower priced article. There are two lessons in this for you. One is, look beyond the price of lily bulbs — learn their quality — then you will have something upon which to base their real value. The more you know about the quality of Horseshoe Brand bulbs the more clearly you will realize the advantage of spend- ing your money where "Quality Counts." The other lesson is that we have your interests at heart in selecting the kind of bulbs your busi- ness needs. No one knows better than we do that price cannot make an undesirable article satisfactory. Therefore, while we have reduced our prices on certain sizes this season, the same good quality will be main- tained, for nothing else can take Quality's place. Horseshoe Brand Giganteum, 7 to 9 inches, at $50 per 1,000, f. 0. b. New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Memphis or Philadelphia, is the best value ever offered in Easter lily bulbs.

"Mr. Clute has a contract with the company to conduct a trial ground at his ranch and there will be seen grow- ing every variety of cucumber, canta- loupe and muskmelon, a chance being given to make a study of the different varieties to determine their adaptabil- ity to our soil and climatic conditions. "The Kocky Ford Seed Growers' As- sociation was organized two years ago with Will Morrison, president; J. P. MuUowney, treasurer, and H. D. Clute, secretary, and during their first year they grew and shipped 50,000 pounds of seeds and they also perfected a new seeder and placed it on the market. This last year they handled 150,000 pounds of vine seed and sold some twenty-five of their seeders, but now the association will discontinue their seed business. The field men of the Robinson company will have charge and general supervision of the growing, harvesting and drying of the crops, and it is expected to improve the stock and vitality of the seeds handled by the company."

Late planted stock, such as radish, has made little growth and considerable rain will have to fall to make anything like a crop. Onion so far has suffered little, if any, as this crop was planted early and received the benefit of the early rains, but it has been injured some by heavy frosts. Sweet peas have been badly injured by recent frosts. All early flowering sorts are nipped back to the ground and it will require more rain than we usually get after February to make even half a crop. Carrot and other root crops seem not to have suffered as yet, but all depends on future rains. The heavy frosts and high winds have taken the moisture from the ground and it seems quite probable we will see extremely short crops for 1912 unless the unusual hap- pens in the way of abundant late spring rains and exceptionally favorable cli- matic conditions." EX7B0FEAN NOTES. The International Exhibition, to be held in the last week of May, in Lon- don, was originally planned for twenty- two acres. The great demand for space, however, has compelled the directors to take in additional ground. France, Hol- land and Belgium have each been al- lotted 10,000 square feet. The Japanese exhibits are now on their way to Lon- don. The directorate is busy and all is going on well. A subscription list has been opened to present a testimonial to Silas Cole, the raiser of the Countess Spencer sweet pea. Several American firms have subscribed in a handsome style, for in- stance : W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia $120.00 Peter Henderson & Co., New York 120.00 D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit 48.00 0. C.

In spite of the continued dronght, business at the retail seed stores keeps up remarkably well. Only in a few instances are there any complaints. The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co. says its business has shown the usual in- crease, despite the fact that thousands of acres, usually planted to peas and melons, have to be eliminated as a source of business in this exceedingly unusual year. Unless rain comes soon, the dry farm bean growers will be un- able to get their crops in and this will mean a serious loss to seed houses. Charles Winsel is installing an out- door overhead watering system at his Washington street place and will prob- ably use it on his land at Montebello. He reports large orders for various public works. Theodore Payne reports a large and constantly increasing demand for na- tive seeds and plants. There is no bet- ter authority than Mr. Payne on these interesting subjects and he issues a Asparagfus Plumosus /^ Nanus ecds] Guaranteed genuine northern greenhouse grown seed.

Nicotine fumigating papers are excel- lent. The high grade nicotine liquids are also effective if poured on a steam pipe in each house. Use an oil can and run a tiny stream along one pipe in each house, if you heat with steam. If you heat with hot water you must wait for a time when the pipes are quite hot, in order to use the liquids. These reme- dies can be procured at any good sup- ply house. Perhaps your lettuce is not old enough to head. Ten weeks' stocks could be in bloom for Memorial day. There are few flowers that can be had so quickly. H. G.

TwOGOOD, formerly in the nursery business at Riverside, Cal., announces that he is no longer connected with the trade. The Woodland Orchard Co., of Wood- land, near Seaford, Del., has purchased 800 acres of land and will convert the tract into a nursery. The Maywood Nursery Co., Maywood, 111., has been incorporated with $8,000 capital, by Zadoc C. Smith, Joel E. Bul- lard and Albert N. Charles. At Sumas, Wash.. J. Newton Moore and G. M. Fisher, of North Yakima, have bought the Fitzgerald place of thirty acres and are planting a nursery. The main output will consist of apple, pear and cherry trees, though special attention will be paid to the various kinds of ber- ries suitable to the soil and climate of the district. Nurseries in Oklahoma report a good demand for grape vines. A reference to the agricultural statistics shows that during the last four years Oklahoma has produced an average each year of 1,500,- 000 pounds of grapes, a test ample to convince the most skeptical of the cli- matic and soil advantages existing for grape culture. The sandy loam prairie hillsides of the state are said to be un- surpassed for grape growing purposes. About a year ago A. B. Cunningham and B. F. See went to Seymour, la., from Rising Sun, and after looking over the field carefully decided to establish a nursery there. They leased for five years eighty acres of land southwest of the city and in the spring planted fifteen acres of the tract and in the fall planted an additional ten. They began at once to dispose of their stock at Rising Sun and the entire business is now to be re- moved to Sevmour. NOT TINKERING TARIFF YET.

A Chicago congressman is the ranking republican member of the com- mittee and also has a more or less inti- mate acquaintance with nursery and seed trade interests. An inquiry ad- dressed to him brought the following telegram : Washington, D.

SEEDLINQ EVEBOBEENS. \Ve have Just received a shipment" of Swedish and Irish juniper, Colorado green spruce and Austrian pine. They are small seedlings, twelve to eighteen inches high and not balled. We should like to get information as to how best to take care of these — whether to plant them out now in the field, or trench them in a cellar and plant them out later. If later, what time would you suggest? F. E. W. The evergreens should not be planted out until all frost has left the ground. The sooner they are set out after the ground is open, the better. The gen- eral plan of delaying the planting of evergreens until the growths are start- ing has arisen from the desire to finish the planting of all deciduous stock first, before beginning with the ever- greens. As a matter of fact, however, evergreens do better if planted as early as the deciduous stock, and the chances of loss are lessened by so doing. Tem- porarily, your plants will be better in a cold cellar. Damp the roots if they are in the least dry, and ventilate free- ly all the time. C. W. FEABS COBNEB IN OOBDONIA.

Mention The Review when you write ceived the suggestion that steps should be taken now to protect the Gordonia pubescens, which grows only in Geor- gia and only on the banks of the Alta- maha river. Mr. Katzenstein says he sees a possibility that the novelty of the tree, and its rarity, may make it the subject of an attempted corner on the part of some nurseryman and there- by cause it to be threatened with ex- tinction. "The ground where these rare trees grow," writes Mr. Katzen- stein, "should be reserved by the state and the number of trees increased by judicious propagation. It would be a matter of sincere regret if the pub- licity given this rarest of all our trees should act unfavorably upon its already more than precarious existence.

Mabch 7, 1912. BOOHESTEB, N. Y. The Market. Severely cold weather still holds this •city in its grip, and naturally it ham- pers business to some extent. How- ever, for Lent, business has been un- •usually good, aind there are numerous informal social functions given at this time, cut flowers especially being in demand, while spring openings have begun to draw on the florists for dec- orations of all kinds. A little sunshiny weather has ■brought on an abundance of blooms. Carnations are plentiful and good in •quality, but are selling at a low fig- ure. Sweet peas are flooding the mar- 'ket and are much reduced in price, al- though the stems are longer and the flowers much larger. Roses, too, are much more plentiful than at the last •wi-iting and have gone down the scale •of prices, except Beauties, which re- main at a high figure. Calla lilies are ■more abundant the last ten days, as also are Harrisii. The effect of the spring sunshine •upon flowering plants is wonderful. Azaleas, primroses, camellias, lilacs and imarguerites are in splendid condition and full of flowers. Since there is a ^reat demand for plants at this time ■of the year, they are bringing a fair iprice. Azaleas seem to sell the best. Daffodils are in first-class condition and are in great favor. Various Notes. A number of the downtown florists 'had special sales Saturday, March 2, principally of violets, sweet peas and roses. These sales made business hum. James Bishop is still confined to the *house. Geo. B. Hart is handling some new ^greens from California. The Maurer-Haap Co. is selling lilac bushes, potted, budded and ready for forcing. Ted Ogston has severed his connec- tion with Henry P. Neun 's store in the Mercantile building. The new oflBcers of the G. A. R. •flower committee are S. C. Pierce, Fred C. Cozean, J. G. Knittle and Philip Mohr; N. O. Beilby, secretary; G. V. Southard, treasurer. Henry P. Neun recently sent out «ome attractive announcement folders to the Rochester public, inviting them to visit the new store and calling atten- tion to the fact that Frank Reeg was ■doing his landscape and gardening work for him. Mr. Reeg has been with EU- wanger & Barry for twenty-five years. Col. Andrew J. Switzer, pioneer in grape culture on Lake Keuka, died at tis home in Bath, N. Y., February 26, aged 82, after an illness of several weeks. James Vick's Sons are having a spe- •cial sale of jardinieres. Horace Head is planning a trip to his liome in England and will sail about June 1, to be gone an indefinite period •of time. Visitors: William B. Lake, of Phila- •delphia; Robert Greenlaw, of S. S.

Dreer, Inc., have a mutual benefit association that held its third annual meeting February 5, at which the election of officers took place. There being quite a rivalry for the various positions, it drew a large attendance, over ninety per cent of the members being present. The following officers were elected: President, A. W. Hoyle, reelected; vice-president, George €hristy; treasurer, Fred. Foster; sec- retary, H. Dinges, reelected; directors, Ed. Anderson, George Bailey, John Hilson, Julius Lieb, Walter Long, Max Lockowitz, Moses MacCready, William' O'Donnell and John Ruppert. The association is doing good work, not only in paying benefits to its sick members but in creating a fellowship among the employees. The following statement for the year's business from January 21, 1911, to January 21, 1M2, will speak for itself: RECEIPTS.

A meeting of the Yonkers Horticul- tural Society was held at the Hollywood Inn February 16, with a good attend- ance of members. The executive com- mittee reported progress as regards the spring show, stating that the schedule had been prepared. The committee on the fall show has set the dates for next show, which will be October .31 and November 1, and it is hoped there will be keen competition, as some valuable prizes are oflfered. At the annual din- ner there were on view two silver cups which the society will give at the fall show. A committee was appointed to visit the treasurer, Peter Macdonald, who has been seriously ill for some time, but who is now on the road to recovery. J. H. W. Fishkill, N.

The stems are stiff and the number of blooms to a plant shows it will be a good producer." E. J. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa., who has been growing five hundred on trial, writes ua under date of Jan. 8, 1912: "So far this season this variety has produced more than double the blooms Beacon has, planted in the same house, and I f6el sure it will maintain its lead the balance of the season. It is of a much brighter color than Beacon, flower as large, with a good stem, and a calyx that practically does not split, not averaging more than one split flower a week from the flve hundred plants."

The Market. Business last week was more lively flMin last reported, but not enough so to relieve the market of the oversupply of bulbous stock and carnations. The latter, while altogether too plentiful, can be disposed of at a low figure. On the other hand, bulbous stock is almost impossible to move at any price. Nev- ertheless more is grown every year. Various Notes. E. A. Fetters purchased an Overland light delivery automobile and hopes to have it in commission about the sec- ond week in March. This is a lighter car than the one Mr. Fetters is now using and will be used for general de- livery when loads are light. Robert Rahaley and Albert Pochelon have been spending the last week in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Buth- erford, N. J,, and other eastern cities. The members of the Detroit Florists' Club will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Plumb at their greenhouses some afternoon this month. Mr. Plumb recently erected a fine salesroom, pack- ing shed and office, and this visit of the club will be in the nature of a house warming. Mrs. Plumb has been seriously ill at a local hospital, but is getting along nicely at present. Mrs. Patterson, mother of Murray Patterson, has just returned from a three months' visit in Scotland. A handsome, first-class theater is in course of construction on Broadway, almost across from Breitmeyer's store. This, with the beautiful new market, which will soon be completed, should liven up things on Broadway. Mr. Pochelon, of the L. Bemb Floral Co., will formally open his beautiful new store and conservatory March 18. H. S. Newburyport, Mass.— Frank J. Mc- Gregor, son of C. J.

CLEVELAND. The Sizth City. March started out like a lamb — bo far as business was concerned. Trade is quiet and stock has accumulated in all the wholesale houses, to the extent that buyers have been getting stock at their own prices. The stock that is a com- plete glut is calla lilies, Lawson and red carnations, while Golden Spur narcissi, freesias and sweet peas sell on sight. Maidenhair ferns and plumosus are much in demand. Easter stock in and around Cleveland looks promising. Eambler roses are well budded and are going to be just right, as they will start blooming about ten days before Easter Sunday, and this, with cool growing, will put them in fine shape for selling. Lilies will be here in sufficient quantity to meet the demand. Some excellent stock of giganteums in 5-inch and 6-inch pots is seen at the establishments of the vari- ous growers; there are also some lots of poor ones. Lilac will be fine, both in pot plants and cut stock. Genistas will be seen in small lots only. Azaleas will be more than plentiful; the cold weather of January stopped the sale of these to a certain extent and there have not been so many forced early as in other years; this is sure to make a good supply for Easter. Various Notes. C. Merkel & Son, of Mentor, O., are sending some fine cut lilac to this mar- ket. They are cutting from home-grown stock, dug from their own fields last fall, and they find it much better than imported stock. T. Smith, of the Smith & Fetters Co., who has been on a pleasure trip to California for the last month, is expected home this week. The J. M. Gasser Co. is cutting Span- ish iris, the first of the season. Gordon Gray, who has been on the sick list for several weeks, is reported much better. The McCallum Co. reports a good call for sweet peas and lilies during last week. Stock of all kinds is plenti- ful with this house. The Cleveland Florists' Exchange is receiving Marie Louise violets from the east. They say it has the first call in violets. The quality of the Killarney and Maryland roses that the F. B. Williams Co. is sending in is unexcelled. Their carnations are also fine. F. C. Bartels, of North Olmsted, is sending in some excellent Freesia Purity. F. A. F. Newton Falls, O.— C. E. Tinker re- ports that business, which until the first week of the year had been the best in his experience, was seriously checked by the extremely cold, cloudy weather, which was the severest on record for forty years, with the ther- mometers registering as low as 36 de- grees below zero. The prospects for spring trade, however, are bright. Salvia Rooted Cuttings 100 1000 $1.00 $7.00 80 6.50 Zurich . , Bonfire. Cash. J. P.SIEBOLD, Lancaster, Pa.

We have a range of six greenhouses, with the boilers at one corner of the range. Our present steam heating sys- tem has been in use for fifteen years. The main return pipe runs crosswise of the six houses and is laid under the surface of the ground, in sewer tile. The farther end of the return pipe is below the water level in the boiler and about two feet below the ground; it runs on a gradual slant to the bottom of the boiler. This pipe is wearing out and is leaking, but we do not know where the leaks are. As we do not wish to tear up the whole return to find the leaks, would it be just as well to place a new return pipe above ground, on the floor level of the greenhouses? The ground has a drop of about eighteen inches in 100 feet toward the boiler. At the boiler house the return would drop to the floor un- der the boiler and then rise into the boiler, in the form of a U. C. B. If the plan for replacing the return is correctly understood, the new re- turn pipe would run across the ends of the houses just below the level of the coils, and two to three feet above the level of the water in the boiler, while as now arranged it is slightly below the water level. There is no rea- son whatever why the proposed change would interfere with the return of the water to the boiler. On the con- trary, it should be found helpful, as there will be no backing up of the water in the returns. The return can be dropped to the floor of the boiler room and enter the boiler from below, as proposed. AN ADDITION FOE EOSES. We have two even-span houses, 18 x 75 feet, connected, with a shed along the west end their entire width. Each house has two 2 1/2 -inch flows, feeding nine 2-incli returns. The boiler is tapped for two 3-inch flows and two 3-inch returns. We propose to add one house for roses, south of the other houses, and wish to maintain a tempera- ture of 60 degrees in this Ohio climate. How would you make connection at the boiler to feed the houses properly? We thought of running both flows to a header and then connecting the three 3-inch flows to this, one supplying each house. Will one 3-inch return take care of the two south houses! How would you pipe the new house, and also a 10-foot section at the west end, to be used as an entrance or temporary plant room, where retailing will be done? We want this new part to be heated in good shape, as the system works finely in the two present houses and we do not want to take any chances next winter, when the house is full of roses. We should rather have a little more piping than is absolutely necessary.

There is a little business stirring, chiefly funeral work. Koses, last week, continued scarce, but a steady increase in the supply is noticed and ere long the sup- ply will be heavy. The carnation crop, which was heavy last week, has eased up a little. The lily supply is quite heavy, while spring flowers are not over- abundant. Trade last month came up to more than a fair average. While the latter part of the month was very quiet, the former part was more encour- aging and especially Valentine week, when things boomed. Boses were scarce throughout the month, while carnations were just the opposite. Various Notes. The two florists who were victims of the grip last week were George Bar- tholomew and Mrs. B. Haschke. Fred Lembke, of the W. W. Barnard Co., was in town last week. H. H. Bitter says he has an excellent trade on corsage bouquets. Mrs. E. Young had a big day on carnations March 3. B. A. L. BRAMPTON, ONT. Business shows no signs of slacken- ing, despite the arrival of Lent. Stock of all kinds is in keen demand through- out the country and the quality is ex- cellent and in good carrying shape. J. and Miles Burford left the Dale Estate last week for the United States, and Jas. Wilson, who has been a carna- tion grower here for ten years, has pur- chased the Woodstock Floral Co., with the intention of running it himself. A large number of the old country- men in the various greenhouses got to- gether lately and formed the nucleus of a social club. They hope to enjoy the pleasure of each other's company a •little more frequently and will also endeavor to make life a little easier for new-comers. E. H. Dale, only son of the late Henry Dale, was married on St. Val- entine's day. His bride was Miss Alice Bobinson, of this town. The ceremony was quietly performed in Toronto and astonished the natives of the village not a little. W. G. P. Announcement The Skinner Irrigation Co., of Troy.

The Market. February waa a satisfactory month as far as Pittsburgh wholesalers were concerned, the volume of business being greater than last year. The prices, while not as high as some other years, were likewise satisfactory. These con- ditions continued until last week, when stock of all kinds arrived in such large quantities that rock bottom prices went into effect. Considerable stock was moved, but I would be ashamed to see some of the prices in print. However, almost everything was sold at some price, and everybody was satisfied Sat- urday night. Some shippers, however, will wonder what happened. For in- stance, sweet peas and violets, which had been selling nicely, died a natural death and could not be moved at any price. Carnations also were a glut and the inferior stock found its way to the dumping grounds. The retailers, while not really busy, do not find the slump which usually arrives with the lenten season. Various Notes. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. has purchased a large Packard truck, which makes daily trips to the Bakerstown greenhouses, delivering a fresh stock to the market store by seven o'clock each morning. The McCallum Co. reports trade good, but also finds more stock than is neces- sary and an effort is needed to move it and keep pace with the constantly arriving consignments. A sign of approaching spring was A. W. Smith's advertisement in the street cars: "For Saturday, a Large Box of Eoses for $1." Eandolph & McClements are keeping up a fine display of blooming plants in; their Baum street store. W. M. Deyoe & Co., Oil City, have decided to open a store and have se- lected what is considered a most prom- ising site. L. J. Eowe, of Titusville, will rebuild and enlarge his greenhouses to the ex- tent of about 25,000 feet this summer. He has been putting in his spare time this winter manufacturing concrete benches, which will take the place of wood in all his houses. Wm. Schmidt, of Johnston, Pa., is arranging for a trip abroad in the near future. John A. Miller opened a new store last Saturday in Tarentum, Pa. Hoo-Hoo. BUILDING?

Funeral work has been heavy and has used up an unusual amount of stock. There have been several good decorations to help things along, and taking it as a whole trade has, in most cases, been tolerably good. Eoses have been in demand, the quantity being about equal to the call except on two or three occasions when the market was extra heavy on all stock. Carnations are more plentiful at the present than at any time during the winter, and while the size is good the stock is a little soft. Sweet peas are selling well and quantities are used up in corsage orders. They have met with great favor thus far. Violets are com- ing alone nicely and are moving well, the home grown single improving ma- terially in last week or ten days. Val- ley has been in good demand and some good home grown stock is to be had. Bulb stock is moving rather light as a rule. Various Notes. The business of Wm. Graff is being carried on by the administrator, C. F. Wheeler, a particular friend of our late Brother Graff. Ben Flynn is managing the business and reports things moving nicely at the present time. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. place is still torn up. A new window is being put in and it will take a week or ten days for completion. Sherman F. Stephens reports good business at the present time, especially in funeral work. E. Metzmaier reports heavy business all along the line. Wm.

Because of the apparent diminution ■of interest in the stereotyped kind of autumn exhibition, and encouraged by the great success made by the national spring show at Boston last March, the Horticultural. Society of Chicago last summer determined to omit the annual autumn exhibition and hold, instead, & display of spring flowers and plants, a novelty in the west, for no extensive show ever had been tried in that sec- tion of the country except in the month of November. The show is on this week in the Art Institute, the ornate home of sculpture and painting on Michigan avenue. Because of its being a first attempt no one knew just what to expect in the matter of exhibits — there was no way of telling whether a big show or a small one was to result, although the pre- mium list, carrying a total of $2,590, was sufficiently liberal to encourage the exhibitors to do their best. To some, therefore, the extent of the show is a disappointment, while others found it greater than they had anticipated. The upper floor in the center of the building is being used and the exhibits in place on the opening day were suffi- cient to occupy all the space this splendid hall affords, with some of the ■exhibits finding quarters in adjoining rooms. The number of entries is, per- haps, not so large as the number and size of the premiums would seem to justify, but the picture, from the mo- ment the visitor steps inside the en- trance and gets the view up the grand stairway, to the time he has gained the full view on the floor above, is one of exceptional attractiveness. The man- agement of the show is in the hands -of Qeorge Asmus, and none knows bet- ter than he how to make the best pos- sible use of the material at hand. But after all is said and done, a flower show in the Art Institute, with all due re- spect to our excellent friends in charge of that institution, is nothing more than a decoration for their stately, statute-lined halls and picture-covered walls. This show is just that. A museum is not the place to show flow- ers to their greatest advantage — the plainer the walls and the gOlroundings the better for the plants md flowers. Some of the Exhibits. The first thing to strike the eye of the visitor is a fine lot of stock from the West parks. This includes both flowering and foliage plants and occu- pies the space at the foot of and on the .{[rand stairway. As one mounts the steps he comes to the best view in the exhibition, the stairway turning to right and left, so that a massive miarble balustrade crosses the line of vision at the level of the upper floor. Here Manager Asmus has a splendid decora- tion of Easter lilies donated for the good of the cause by Poehlmann Bros. Co. There are plants and wild smilax everywhere as one goes up the stairs, exactly as though the decorator had been given carte blanche by some wealthy patron. Let us hope it in- spires many to do just that. In the room at the west at the head of the stairs are the ferns, a dozen or more splendid specimens of Boston and Whitman! in the center, while over Then comes the table of ten vases of long-stemmed sweet peas from Wm. Sim, Cliftondale, Mass., who also has sent some pansies that are as good as th6 peas, enough to fill eight plates and six baskets, each with a separate color. In this same west room is the largest group of plants in the show, from Frank Oechslin. It is admirably ar- ranged, although somewhat crowded, as is the habit with exhibition groups. The plants used include primulas, cy- clamens, hyacinths, dracaenas, tulips, asparagus, cocos, genistas, forced al- The Main Stairway at the Chicago Spring Show. in one corner F. E. Pierson Co., Tarry- town, N.

The edges at each end are bordered by pots of funkia, the variegated foliage making a pleasing contrast to the rest of the group. Many comment on not having seen the funkia grown in this way before. The galleries crossing the building 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ MARCH 14, 1912. are both handsomely decorated with stock not entered for competition and without cards, although the effect along the south gallery is one of the best in the show. The second day the cards made their appearance; the stock was from the south parks. The bulbous stock occupied the room at the head of the east stairway. There are two exhibitors who so over- shadow the others as to practically be the whole show of bulbous flowers. These are Frank Oechslin and August Jurgens. The valley in pans is in the same room and here it is H. N. Bruns who competes with Mr. Jurgens. Poehlmann's pots of lilies are here also. In the east room the commanding group is the 100-foot arrangement of rose plants in fine flower from Vaughan's Seed Store. This is flanked by smaller groups and specimen rose plants from the same exhibitor, who is the only one showing roses in pots. In this room Fritz Bahr has some fine ericas and here, too, are the primulas from Peter Schilt, J. J. Wolniewicz, Oechslin, Vaughan and Bahr. One of the quality exhibits, although not a large one, is the table of cattle- yas from Charles J. Bond, of Naper- ville. The dozen vases mostly contain Trianae, the flowers being of splendid size and substance in spite of the late- ness of the season. Some equally good Schroederffi are shown and a few blooms of hybrids. E. Wienhoeber Co. had one of the rooms all to itself for a table simply but attractively arranged with the use of the porcelain water ways, etc. In the center were flowering almonds and around these spring flowers and Mrs. Ward roses. ' The Landscape Display. H. J. Stockmans has a room to him- self for an exhibit that attracts as much attention from the public as any- thing in the show. He illustrates how various pieces of ground are treated by the landscape man. The larger of the three exhibits shows a property of five acres at Lake Forest, for which Mr. Stockmans has prepared the plans for improvement. He has built a big, low table on which has been placed a pan specially constructed, the scale being one inch to four feet. The pan is only two inches deep and is filled with soil, so that the receptacle is out of sight and the surroundings are safe from damage by moisture. On an ele- vation stands the mansion, with a for- mal rose garden, hedges, pergola and balustrades at one side. Off to the left are the vegetable gardens and further m"^'^ FM.m^ ''l\ ^ ■^*'=. ..'. ., iA '.*?■ :"^-'i' •5^ The South Parks' Display ia the Gallery at the Chicago Spring Show. yet the orchard, all so completely il- lustrated that the little trees are full of fruit (cranberries) with more on the ground. The sod is green sheet moss. At the right is a water garden with real water, and a perennial garden. The crocuses are in bloom. The avenue- beside the estate is lined with trees and the shrubbery and trees about the grounds are shown as they will be planted, down to the most minute de- tail. Two similar displays show differ- ent treatments for city lots 100x150. Bose Day. Wednesday, the second of the show,, was rose day, and the size of the ex- hibition was materially increased, for the big vases of 100 long-stemmed blooms, many of them arranged in the Institute's unique big vases, took up a great deal of room. The roses were given the east room, displacing the bulbous stock, cyclamens and primulas,, which gay colored exhibits were re- moved to adjoining rooms not used on- the opening day. The show thus ap- peared much larger than as at first staged. Poehlmann Bros. Co. made a clean sweep in the rose classes, but was without competition in Dark Pink Kil- larney, Double Pink Killarney, Ward, Bulgarie and Melody. Each class called for 100 flowers. While all were good, the Mrs. Ward were exceptionally fine. Wietor Bros, staged excellent entries in the Beauty, Killarney and White Killarney classes and Peter Reinberg had a fine vase of Richmonds. The Beauties made a brave show in the great porcelain jars in which they were staged, but soon went down, proving^ that these fancy receptacles are not nearly so good for the purpose as are the ordinary straight pots. Bassett & Washburn put up a group of roses not for competition. Eleven vases were used, the varieties being: White Killarney, Bhea Reid, Killarney,. Ward, Double White Killarney, Beauty and Richmond. John Mangel staged two splendid large, tall baskets of roses, one of Bul- garie, and the other of Ward, excel- lently arranged. The Bohannon Floral Co. had an ex- ceptionally fine tall vase of White Kil- larney, splendidly arranged. Harry Papworth, of the Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., New Orleans, brought roses to fill a half dozen vases, long-stemmed stock that showed that though New Orleans gets most of its roses from Chicago, good flowers never- theless can be grown in that climate. The awards on roses were: One hundred American Beauty — Poehlmann Bros. Co. first, Wietor Bros, second. One hundred Killarney — Poehlmann Bros. Co. first. Wietor Bros, second. One hundred White Killarney — Poehlmann Bros. Co. first, Wietor Bros, second. One hundred Dark Pink Killarney — Poehlmann Bros. Co. first. One hundred Double Pink Killarney — Poehl- mann Bros.

Co., for Double White Killarney. The Carnations. The carnations come on the stage Thursday and it promises to be in this, department of the show that the strong- est competition is seen.

Bond, Naperville, IIL class calling for 100 white, and there was nearly another whole day in which to receive additional entries. None of the other classes had so many entries as the class for white, but there were eight entries in the class for red, seven in the one for light pink, six in the one for flesh pink, five in the one for dark pink, and three in the class for varie- gated. The only classes which had not filled well on Tuesday, two days before staging, were those for crimson and for yellow variegated, in which there were no entries at all at that time. With the quality of all the stock averaging as well as it does at present an interesting competition is expected. Baur & Smith, of Indianapolis, were on hand Wednesday with a fine vase of St. Nicholas, the new Christmas red carnation, and received many compli- ments on the color as well as on the quality of the flowers. Mr. Baur brought for A. Pettit, of Indianapolis, a vase of a Spencer sweet pea that was from vines that have been flowering since October. The color is a pleasing rose pink and the name is Rose Queen. The flowers were fine. The Awards. The judges on the first day were E. Allan Peirce, Waltham, Maae.; E. 0.

On the opening day of the show this was in- creased to over 1,000. The show is open evenings. Because the regular admission is 25 cents, that sum is charged during the day, with 50 cents at night, when the building ordinarily is closed. The Art Institute has two free days, Wednesday and Sunday, and on these days no admission can be charged to the flower show. Secretary J. H.

What They Are Doing for the People. [A synopsiJ of a paper by Joseph Heacock, read at the March meeting of the Florists' Club of Philadelphia.] I enjoyed Farmers' week at State College, Pa., December 27 to January 3, so much that I wrote President Thilow that if your essay committee thought well of it I would be glad to tell the Florists' Club about it. I now realize that in so doing I bit off more than I can chew. I have not been able, with the time I have had at my disposal, to write up the. matter as I should like to have done. Dean Thomas F. Hunt told us how little the great state of Pennsylvania had done for her college in comparison with what the other states had done for theirs, and what the revenue from the land grant of the national govern- ment to the various states was com- pared with that of Pennsylvania.

Does it benefit cypress greenhouse material to boil it in linseed oilf Is this better than applying the first coat with a brush? If so, how is it donef M. B. While it is a good plan to boil sash- bars in linseed oil, if one has conven- iences for doing so, it is not necessary, as a priming coat of oil containing a small amount of white lead will answer the purpose. It will be well to apply a second coat of lead and- oil paint and then, after glazing the houses, give them a third coat. EXAMINATION FOR HEAD FLOEIST The examination for head florist of the West Park system, Chicago, was held Februa^ 27, 1912. The fact, that the civil service law requires examinations to be competitive and public required that this examina- tion be held in Chicago on a fixed date. The civil service board received in- quiries and applications from some forty or fifty prospective candidates, residing in twelve different states of the Union. Of these candidates, only ten found it possible to appear in Chi- cago on the date set for the examina- tion. The test was completed in one day and consisted of — ' Kl) A paper giving the candidate's age\ education, and a description of his practical experience. (2) A paper on the organization of the work in conservatories, the arrange- ment and time of the various floral dis- plays, and the general maintenance and care of the greenhouses and conserva- tories and their equipment. (3) A paper on propagation, plant nomenclature and general horticultural work. (4) A paper on English, arithmetic, and other educational features. (5) An oral examination, including the recognition of about thirty green- house plants. The questions were designed by Ed- win A. Kanst, of Chicago, and W. N. Rudd, president of Mt. Greenwood Cemetery Association, and these gentle- men also conducted the oi'al examina- tion and graded all the papers on floral work. The successful candidate was August Koch, at present in charge of a depart- ment of the Missouri Botanical Garden, at St. Louis. SEASONABLE SUQOESTIONS. The March Crop. The indoor plants which are now just starting to flower should, under favorable conditions, produce the finest flowers of the year during the next few weeks. The earlier crops are now running out and wiU soon be over. The houses they occupy can be utilized for an indoor summer crop, provided, however, they are large and well ven- tilated. It would be a pure waste of energy to attempt their summer cul- ture in any but the largest and most up-to-date houses, but Memorial day crops of ten weeks' stocks, gladioli, feverfew, candytuft or snapdragon can be planted, provided the plants are now ready in pots. Many growers, for a change, run tomatoes or cucumbers through the summer and find they pay well, particularly the tomatoes, which are less sensitive to cold than cucum- bers. Plants which are commencing to flower, or will soon do so, should be ao The Weekly Florists' Review* March 14, 1912. given a night temperature of 48 to 52 degrees. The latter figure, however, must not be exceeded. As the plants now grow quite rapidly, the ties must never be neglected, for if the haulm becomes twisted it means a percentage of bent and unsalable flower stems. With increasing sunlight, the soil will now dry out more quickly and the water supplies must be increased. Just as soon as flower stems start to shorten of artificial heat they will develop more slowly, but will come stockier and hardier. In frames some covering over the glass may be needed for a few weeks vet. Planting out can be done when the weather becomes settled, anywhere from the beginning to the end of April, according to location. Sweet peas started in pots will come into flower ten to fourteen days earlier than Exhibit of Wm. Sitn, CHftondale, Mass., at the Chicago Show. up, it is a sure indication that the food supplies at the roots are inadequate, and liquid manure, top-dressings of cow manure, pulverized sheep manure or fine bone should be given; this should be scratched into the soil lightly before watering. The Safest Fumigant. A recent inquiry is, "What is the safest fumigant for sweet peas?" The tobacco papers are excellent. Some large growers, once a week, take small piles of tobacco stems or dust and set fire to them, laying them on the floors. In using the dust, a little kerosene sprinkled over it will make it smolder away better. Never give strong fumi- gations, as the foliage is quite easily burnt, particularly if the night should be a warm one. Above all, avoid the use of hydrocyanic acid gas; this is too much for sweet peas. Some varie- ties, particularly Watchung, have a faculty of dropping many of the buds, especially in winter. Under the same treatment Florence Denzer will not drop a bud. This would seem to in- dicate that Watchung has some organic weakness; still, it is so wonderfully free flowering that many still grow it. Starting Seeds in Pots. While the ground will not be open for some time, except in the warmer states, those wishing for an early out- door crop should start a quantity of seeds in pots. I like 4-inch pots for this purpose, sowing four or five seeds in each and afterward thinning these out to three. A cold greenhouse, or better still, a cold frame, answers well for this early sowing. It appears that if the seeds are raised without the aid those sown outdoors in the average season. They should not be planted closer than ten or twelve inches apart. This will allow them to make strong haulm and to branch freely, which is out of the question where they are set too thickly. In England, where stems eighteen to twenty-four inches long are produced, the individual plants to pro- duce exhibition flowers are set eighteen inches apart and the shoots on these reduced in number. The general tend- ency always is to sow sweet peas much too thickly. If they germinate thickly it pays to thin severely, as it will al- ways mean much stronger haulm and finer flowers. It is easy for any grower to prove the correctness of this state- ment by trying a few each way. Sowing Seeds Outdoors. If the ground was deeply plowed or spaded last fall and liberally manured, it will be in the best possible mechan- ical condition for sweet peas. This fall preparation of the soil is not half ap- preciated and is utterly ignored by many good growers. It is satisfactory to note, nevertheless, a growing dispo sition on the part of wide-awake grow- ers to prepare the ground then. Those who did not prepare ground in the fall — and those are the overwhelming ma- jority— should lose not a moment when once frost has left the ground and it has sufficiently dried out to be workable, in preparing the ground for this im- portant crop. The deeper the ground can be plowed or spaded and the more liberally it is manured, the better will the peas grow and flower. The Trench System. While splendid sweet peas can be grown on land containing good, friable loam, well manured, flowers of extra quality can be had if a trench twenty four to thirty inches wide and of sim- ilar depth is dug out, and filled with alternate layers of well decayed manure and loam, finishing with several inches of soil on top. This method entails much labor and is only to be recom- mended where fancy flowers are wanted, but deep digging or plowing gives almost as good flowers, which are not, however, "produced over so long a season as when a deep trench is exca- vated. The idea should be to loosen the ground as deeply as possible, in order to allow the roots to penetrate well below the surface in dry weather. Fine bone, well worked into the soil, Table by E. Wieahoebet G>., at the Chicago 3pru>E Show. I. March U, 191 -J. The Weekly Florists' Review* 23 era all the time in her rooms. What then would become of us growers? We would starve. If gladioli would last like carnations they would last long enough, which would be three to four days, but the average gladiolus lasts one week. I also wish to say that my fancy does not harmonize with Mr. White's as to the graceful appearance of such a type as Princeps. Just imagine be- fore you a spike three feet long, and in the center of the spike are two open blooms, and above them is one and one-half feet of stalk without any- thing on it, not even any foliage! How does it look? Now place a dozen of them in a vase; they don't look any better. If you were to put greens in with them to hide the long spikes, you would hide the flowers and spoil their effect; so you must leave them as they are and be contented with their ap- pearance. These look to me decidedly like the tall bunch of vegetable aspara- gus to which Mr. White has referred. If gladioli in a florist's window are wadded together in a bunch, Mr. White doesn't know who is to blame for it. I say it is the florist's blame; he ought to know how to place them in such a vase, how to arrange them so that they will look graceful and loose, and how to place something with them that will improve their appearance. One great mistake is that most of the retail flo- rists do not know how to work up gladioli and it seems to me that they don't try, but simply work them up into anything that comes along. I must admit that Princeps is a good seller, but you must remember that it is the color and the wide open flow- ers that take. I notice that when the retail florists in Milwaukee pick out glads, they always choose those with the most and largest flowers on the spikes. I breed only such varieties as have many flowers open at one time, and with straight stems. I invite other growers' ideas. H. W. Koerner. EBLE'S AX7T0. The accompanying illustration is re- Floramobik of Cbaxles Eble, New Orkaos. produced from a snapshot of the auto- mobile now in use by Charles Eble, New Orleans, the picture having been made in front of Mr. Eble's store in the Grunewald hotel. It is said to be the first automobile to be put on the street by a New Orleans florist. The machine originally was a touring car and it has forty horse-power, originally costing $4,500, but Mr. Eble bought it at a bargain and had the body rebuilt. The panel body can be removed so that the car can be used as a platform car for the transportation of tall plants. It also can be used as a touring car by replacing the touring body. Mr. Eble says that it not only proves a great help in handling business, but has been an excellent advertisement. Mr. Eble's son, Bernard, runs the machine, which is known as the floramobile. He ap- pears in the picture. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Geraniums for Bedding. All of the fall propagated cuttings should now be in 3^-inch or 4-inch pots. Growth is now quite rapid, and with houses filled to overflowing with Easter stock it is difficult to give the plants the necessary space for their proper development, but every eight or ten days they should be looked over, de- caying leaves and weeds removed and giveil a fresh stand. If this is not done, mold will spread quickly, and especially Among crowded plants. A warm house is not necessary for geraniums; 45 de- grees at night will suffice. Do not make a habit of playing the hose over the stock on bright days; it only makes the plants soft. Also always run the pots a little on the dry rather than the wet side. This will make the growths harder, shorter jointed, and what is im- portant, more floriferous. If any stock looks starved, give a weak dose of some stimulant like nitrate of soda, on two occasions ten days apart, but do not continue its use once they put on new life, as it will only make them soft. Winter rooted cuttings should be potted along before they can become potbound. If tho balls get much matted with roots, loosen them a little when repotting, and never pot geraniums, or for that matter any other plants, with dry balls. These later rooted cuttings will do better kept 5 degrees warmer than the fall cuttings. Do not use any- thing in the nature of fresh manure in the soil. Let Any manure be so old that it will crumble readily in the hands, and add some fine bone, which builds up a stocky plant and makes for flower rather than soft green wood. Winter Geraniums. Provided cuttings of winter gera- niums are not yet taken, no time should be lost in getting them in the soil. Sin- gle cuttings in small pots containing sandy loam, placed where they can get a little bottom heat, are preferable to cuttings in the propagating bench. They will root nicely within four weeks and should have a shift into 3-inch pots before they can become in the least starved. Use a little fine bone at this potting and a little well decayed old hotbed or mushroom manure in addition. Hotbeds for Geraniums. Greenhouse space is always at a premium after the middle of March, and every grower at that time has to tax his brains to accommodate all his plants. Provided that a good supply of cold-frames are at disposal, and surely no commercial establishment is complete without them, it is possible to utilize them to relieve the indoor pressure from this time onward. It would be too severe a check to take geraniums or any other of the hardier bedding plants and simply stand them on a bed of sand or ashes without any artificial heat, but if the frames are of sufficient depth, or can easily be dug out to allow fifteen to eighteen inches of horse manure and leaves to be placed in the same and still allow of sufficient head- room, the geraniums will thrive well in them. The manure should be moist, and if mixed with leaves and turned once or twice before being used, all the bet- ter. It should be tramped in the frames thoroughly, after which a few inches of fine soil or even cinders can be added, and in these the pots can be partly plunged. Splendid plants can be grown in this way, provided, of course, that ventilation, watering and the necessary covering on cold nights 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mabch 14, 1912. are attended to. These hotbeds may be scouted by big growers, but there are many country florists to whom they would be a great help, for not only geraniums but many other plants can be grown in them. OLOEY OF CINCINNATI. Please give the best method and time for propagating Glory of Cincinnati begonia and its requirements as to shade and temperature. R. E. M. This fine winter flowering begonia propagates readily from either leaves or shoots. To secure a good supply of shoots, remove the flowers, cut back the plants halfway, run them pretty dry for a time and then give them a warm, moist house and they will start to pro- duce cuttings in good numbers. A warm propagating bench, with a steady bottom heat of 75 to 85 degrees, should be used. The cuttings must be shielded from sunshine and no direct air cur- rent should reach them. Neither these nor Lorraine begonias should have a house heavily shaded, or they become drawn and attenuated. A minimum temperature of 60 degrees should be given after potting. Use a compost largely consisting of rather flaky leaf- mold for the earlier pottings, and use considerable leaf -mold even for the final potting. C. W. PREPARATION OF YOUNG STOCK. Removing From the Sand. Much of the success of the rose grower depends upon proper care being given to the young stock in the earliest stages. The experienced propagator can usually tell almost to a day when his cuttings are fit to be taken out of the sand and potted. The beginner will probably have to lift a plant or two and examine them before commencing to pot. As a general rule, roses and other plants are more likely to be left too long in the sand than to be lifted and potted too soon. While sand is an excellent medium for "drawing" roots, it is bad for maintaining the health of the young plants, and when, as some- times occurs, the plants are left in the sand until the roots are a couple of inches or more in length, they receive a check from which it takes several weeks to recover. To obtain the best results, young rose plant roots should be running in heavy loam just as early as possible. By this means only will the earliest, youngest shoots have the necessary vigor. When half an inch, or even less, of root has been made from the callus, the plants are ready to pot. When possible, have soil and pots near the propagating bench, so as to prevent the drying out of the roots. The dry, cool air and drafty conditions of the ordinary pot- ting shed are not good for the tender young rootlets. The First Potting. A good, heavy loam, with a 6-inch potful of bone meal to each barrow load if the soil is poor, makes a good compost f©r the young stock; never use a light, sandy soil. If too dry to firm well in the pots, sprinkle and turn the soil, but do not wet it sufficiently to make it stick to the hands of the operator, or to make it cake. In potting, make the soil tolerably firm by pressure of the thumbs, and finish just below the rim of the pot. If kept too low the plants are apt to become too wet when damped over daily, as they must be should the weather be bright. The grower who ships plants in large numbers uses a small thumb pot or beds his young roses out on benches, but I am not writing for him, as he usually knows his own business. The small grower, who propagates only a few thousand plants for his own use, will find it most convenient to pot at first into 2-inch and later give a shift into 3-inch. Quite a large number of these pots can be got into a small bench. Whatever else is neglected, see that the young stock is given a light, sunny bench. The temperature should be the same as for the permanent rose plants — around 60 degrees at night. Shading. Coming, as they do, from the shade of the propagating bench, the young plants cannot at first stand full ex- posure to the sun; so, if the weather is bright, they should be lightly shaded. Newspapers are always handy and are generally used for shading, and they answer the purpose, though a line of muslin about a foot or so above the plants is better. In either case, re- move the shading entirely as soon as possible, usually about the third day after potting. Plants that have their foliage softened by heavy or long con- tinued shading are more likely to be attacked by mildew and insect pests later, and are less able to withstand these attacks than others with hard, robust leaves. Discretion in Watering. Watering is a subject upon which no definite instructions can be given. Everything depends upon the weather, the class of soil and other conditions, and these have to be watched and- the treatment altered to suit individual cases. As a general rule, I like to be abje to water the young plants once daily, as it freshens them up and keeps them growing, but if it is found that the daily waterings overhead are making the plants too wet and causing a scum to form on the surface of the soil, then let them dry out a little and water less heavily. But young roses must be kept moist. If they are allowed to dry they go to rest, the stems becoming hard, and it is difficult* to get them started again. Watch carefully for the first signs of mildew and keep a little sulphur on the pipes, to check it or to act as a preventive. This may seem a long list of appar- ently unimportant details, but the man who attends to just such seeming trifles is he who gets there with the best stock in the market. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The American Rose Society has re- ceived, through President Farenwald, a proposition from the head gardener of the city parks of Hartford, Conn., as follows: We are considering the feasibility of estab- lishing, in connection with our rose garden here, a public trial or testing ground for hardy roses. The object would be to invite foreign and domes- tic growers to send new varieties for a test covering sufficient time to establish thoroughly the merits of the variety, at the conclusion of which the plants would be returned at the owner's expense, or if of sufficient merit, would be given a permanent place in the garden. The rose garden tiere has attained considerable prominence in this country, and this, coupled with our climatic conditions, should make an Ideal location for a test garden that could in time be made to assume national Importance. If the American Rose Society would coftperate with us to the extent of judging the exhibits and mailing the awards, it would give the affair a wider scope and make its standing official. We are of the opinion that America needs an official trial ground and, with the cooperation of the society, feel that the outcome of our efforts would be certain of success. If the matter were presented to your executive committee early and they should approve of It, we would have suffi- cient time to secure some exhibits for spring planting. Alex. Cummings, Jr. This proposition was laid before the executive committee and the idea was endorsed as a plan well worth support- ing. There is such a garden in the city of Paris, with thousands of varieties on exhibition in blooming time. Hart- ford has a climate well suited for the growth of roses. The guarantors of the prize awards for the exhibition held in Detroit, of whom there were thirty-four, paid up in full. Poehlmann Bros. Co. sent twice the amount requested and ex- President Elliott sent us four times as much as we asked. This sort of sup- port speaks volumes for the solidity of the American Rose Society. The EUwanger & Barry sweepstakes prize has been sent to A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn. The Alexander Mont- gomery cup for the best American rose originated during 1909-10 was awarded and sent to Stockton & Howe, of Princeton, N. J. The effort to do something to in- crease the interest of amateurs in the rose has met with some success. One gentleman sent in a check of $50 with- out any reservation, to be used toward that end, and four amateurs have bobbed up with an annual subscrip- tion, which we are glad to have.

But three weeks more and Easter will be here. Azaleas are always one of the most important of flowering plants at this great floral festival. Provided the plants are now opening their flow- ers they will be all right if carried along in a cool house. If, however, no color is yet showing in the buds, they must be hurried. Give them a warm, moist house and spray them freely. Discontinue syringing after the flowers are expanding and as soon as you are reasonably certain you have them suflSciently advanced move them to cooler quarters. Lilacs. The Easter lilacs should never be grown in the dark. Half their beauty is lost if they are lacking in foliage. Give them the fullest light and, as they open, gradually move them to a lower temperature. This change must not be too sudden, as lilacs are more susceptible to chills than many other plants. If taken from a warm house directly to one 20 degrees lower, the flowers are pretty sure to wilt, but a little experience will teach even a be- ginner that this sharp temperature slump is too much for them. Well flowered lilacs, particularly white and pink shades, will sell well at Easter. The call for blues is never so good at that season, but many customers rather like made up plants containing white and pink or white and lavender, which are easily possible by using good sized pots and using three plants in each, or, as is often done, the plants are placed in tins which fit into wicker baskets. Cannas. The time js at hand when those popu- lar bedding plants, the cannas, should be started. Cut them up carefully, leaving a single sound eye to each plant. Do not pot at once, but lay on a bed of moss on a bench where there is a nice, steady bottom heat. Spray them over occasionally, but do not keep them wet at all, or many are likely to decay. Many small grow- ers prefer to purchase fresh roots each spring and there should now be no de lay in securing these, as the run on the really first-class bedders is always strong. Fansies. The covering should by this time be ' removed from pansy plants which have been wintered in coldframes, but on outdoor stock the mulch must remain for some time yet. There is always an excellent call for pansies in small baskets containing a dozen plants of assorted colors and it is each year uoted that those which come into the market early are always quickly sold. Many defer purchasing pansies until Memorial day, but it is a common error to delay planting even the hardier plants until summer is almost here. They are cool, moisture loving subjects, and are always seen at their best dur- ing May rather than the summer months. In order to get some plants along early a number of plants should now be lifted and planted in a violet house. It is possible to get a better price for these early flowered pansies than when the full outdoor crop has ar- rived. Plants in frames, after being cleaned off, should have a soaking wa- tering, and if sashes are kept over them they will make quite a rapid growth. Double daisies and myosotis, which are two other popular spring flowers, can be treated similarly to the pansies. Lilium Speciosum. The fall potted bulbs of Lilium Speciosum will now be making some growth. They are better grown quite cool. In fact, unless they are wanted particularly early, they will be just as well in a coldfranie and bed of ashes rather than in the greenhouse. The same applies to Lilium auratum.

No chance is given for the formation of a callus or of rootlets, so that the cutting soon wilts and dies, resembling in external appearance those cuttings which are not firmly fixed in the sand and there- fore wilt in a few days after being placed. Upon closer examination, how- ever, the brown threads of the fungus can be seen covering the lower part of the cutting and often a sclerotium is formed on the cut end of the plant. It is well known that this fungus often causes damping off of various seedlings, but what part it plays in the damping off of carnation cuttings is yet to be determined. We will be espe- cially glad to receive cuttings suffer- ing from the effect of the "cutting bench fungus" or "damping off." There are several kinds of fungi de- ■ scribed as the "cutting bed fungus" and we are anxious to determine what forms are most harmful in this state. Experiments in Progress. In concluding our report on this par- ticular disease we will mention a few of the experiments which are being car- ried out but not yet complete. 1. A determination of the resistance of the sclerotia to various physical and chemical agents. 2. Effect of various methods of soil sterilization both upon the carnation plant itself and upon the fungus. It may be said in this connection that sterilization by steam easily kills the fungus in the soil, but so changes the soil that the carnation does not make a normal growth. It is expected that other methods of soil sterilization will overcome this difficulty. 3. Various strains of this fungus taken from plants other than the carna- tion are to be tested in regard to their effect upon the carnation. 4. The infectious power of this fun- gus upon the carnation in various stages of its growth is being investi- gated. 5. The various physical conditions supposed to increase the virulence of this fungus or the susceptibility of the plant will be considered in a scries of experiments. 6. A continuation and duplication of the experiments mentioned in the body of this paper is considered necessary. Aside from the wet stem-rot of car- nations which has taken most of oul time, we have undertaken minor inves- tigations on less important carnation diseases. [To bo concluded.] DAUTS' CARNATION HOUSE. The accompanying illustration shows one of the carnation houses of Daut Bros., Decatur, 111., who are successors to Mrs. Katherina Daut.

Washington, they say, has proved all that was claimed for it and they will plant it in the place of Afterglow next season. Their place consists of ten houses, 35,000 feet of glass. They grow a general line of cut flowers and potted plants for retail trade, for which they find ready sale at their store at 112 East Prairie street. WASHINGTON CLUB MEETING.

It was then suggested that suitable prizes be offered in this connection and the committee was in- structed to use its judgment in this respect. It is believed that this action on the part of Miss Sipe and the work now to be done by the committee and the club will result in considerable ad- vertising for the benefit of the latter. At the request of the entertainment committee, of which N. L. Hammer is chairman, "William F. Stewart, of the Department of Agriculture, addressed the members on the subject of •'* Carna- tion Breeding." His lecture was an interesting one and by his consent, from time to time during his talk, questions regarding the various phases of carna- tion breeding were asked him. Richard Vincent, Jr., president of the S. A. F., who came to Washington w^ith other visitors, spoke on the com- ing convention. He asked the support of all and requested that a goodly dele- gation attend from Washington and that they have the applications of a number of new members. He was heartily greeted, as was Wallace E. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn. Mr. Pierson got after the retailers hammer and tongs. He told them they were not progressive enough — in common with the retailers of other cities. "The growers are buy- ing glass, because glass is cheap; they are erecting houses and are producing additional stock. The retailers cry 'overproduction,' instead of creating a demand for the additional flowers pro- duced." He referred to the work of Miss Sipe and the action of the florists in that connection and said that was the right kind of a spirit, to show. He further recommended the holding of flower shows to awaken public interest in flowers and condemned the present practice of wasting considerable time at elections of the S. A. F. "Use a mail ballot and utilize the balance of the time in the holding of the largest flower show ever," he said. Prof. Norton, of the Department of Agriculture, displayed a quantity of asparagus, which included specimens sent to the department by agents in foreign countries. He told of the ex- periments now being carried on with a view to their introduction and use in this country to take the place of Asparagus plumosus and other greens now used in decorations. The entertainment of the evening having been concluded, the members were invited to view the carnation and rose exhibit which had been furnished. In the large room at the rear of the store of Gude Bros. Co. were shown many of the season 's latest. The largest exhibit was made by the S. S. Pennock- Meehan Co., which included Princess Charming, « light pink carnation, grown by E. A. Stroud, Strafford, Pa.; Benora, variegated, from Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.; Mrs. C. W. Ward, from Dauphin Bros., Washington, D. C; William Eccles, a red, by Scott Bros., Elmsford, N. Y.; Comfort, from S. M. Merwarth & Bros., Easton, Pa.; No. 618, a white seedling, from Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., and Wodenethe, an exceptionally fragrant variety, by Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J. Alex B. Garden ex- hibited Gloriosa and Enchantress, grown by A. F. Faulkner, both of which re- ceived commendation, and the Depart- ment of Agriculture had a fine display of seedling carnations of various colors. The roses included Killarney Queen, the Double White Killarney and Lady Hillingdon, shown by A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.; Golden Gate and Radiance, by Gude Bros. Co.; Cardinal and Mrs. Taft, by Washington Florists' Co., and Stockton & Howe, of Prince- ton, N. J., exhibited Princeton through Pennock-Meehan. The display made by the Department of Agriculture of amaryllis, blossoms from seventeen months old bulbs, in all colors, was exceptionally fine. The only non-grower exhibiting was George Cooke, who sent in a display of spring flowers which were worthy of commendation. While partaking of the refreshments which had been provided, the members of the club and their guests discussed the exhibit and various other matters of interest. The out-of-town guests were Richard Vincent, Jr., White Marsh, Md.; Wal- Gilbert Ludwig. lace R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; Jesse King, Mt. Airy, Md., and Messrs. Wag- ner and Hamilton, of Baltimore, Md. C. L. L. ANOTHER LUDWia. Gilbert Ludwig, whose photograph is reproduced herewith, is with the old firm of Gustav & J. W.

J. A. S. NEW YORK. The Market. The end of last week was suggestive of spring. Saturday the street mer- chants were out in swarms and the de- partment stores stocked up heavily, taking away from the congested whole- sale market many wagon loads of flow- ers. Sunday was too chilly for the flower wearing promenaders and the week opened with the temperature be- low freezing. The greatest slump last week was felt in American Beauties. Values commenced to fall March 3 and they went down steadily until March 9; the highest bid was 25 cents for the best of them. Such a rapid tumble had never been seen here and, with the an- chor of the market destroyed, prices of everything followed. Lent must be of stronger influence than for years. There is an abundance of every variety of tea roses, even the novelties increasing in quantity. All values have fallen and the price accepted for the lower grade is unmentionable. Carnations do not go above $2 per hundred, even for the nov- elties, and grand stock has sold as low as $10 per thousand; ordinary stock is disposed of at 50 cents per hundred and under. Lilies were sold as low as 2 cents March 9 and 6 cents has been top for a long time. Contracts for Easter have been made at 10 cents. The supply will be large. There is no possibility of any shortage. There is. no decrease in the arrivals of bulbous stock and prices have not changed. Daisies, sweet peas, mignon- ette and spring flowers are in every wholesale window. Smilax is bringing better prices. Gardenias are not over- abundant. Orchids sell at from 40 cents down. There are a dozen varie- ties to select from, and the demand is light. Nothing of special importance in wed- dings or banquets is on the program. The leading retailers seem to absorb whatever of profit occurs. It has been a hard season for the majority. Many of the smaller establishments are anx- iously holding on for an Easter salva- tion. It has been about as hard sled- ding for the most of them as Capt. Amundsen experienced on his trip to the south pole. Olub Meeting. The attendance at the club meeting March 11 was about 100, President Manda in the chair. The following were elected to membership: Peter Buerlein, Oscar Boehler, J. A. Valen- tine, F. W. Armitage, F.

J Chairman Hendrickson announced thff April meeting, to be known as sweet pea and plant night and suggested a ladies' night for May. Chairman Kess- ler reported fine prospects for the an- nual outing. The discussion as to the elimination of the silver medal from the club's monthly awards was of general inter- eat, Messrs. Bunyard, Lenker, Miller, Totty and O 'Mara participating. It was decided to retain it as the highest honor in the club's repertoire. The legislative committee of the club was instructed to prepare a letter to be sent to all club members and to the members of the legislature in behalf of the $50,000 appropriation for green- houses at Ithaca. F. R. Pierson sug- gested a personal committee and of- fered to cooperate in the interview with the governor, senators and assembly- men. A telegram of congratulations and best wishes was sent the Baltimore club during the evening. Committees were appointed to draw up resolutions on the deaths of Bayard Cutting and Mrs. M. C. Ebel. The speaker of the evening was Wal- lace E, Pierson, of Cromwell, who held the close attention of the audience to the close. A standing vote of thanks was accorded the talented speaker. In- teresting discussion followed and many questions were answered by Mr. Pier- son. Chairman Eickards and his lieuten- ants had a seductive program of eats and liquid nourishment, as usual. IJxhibits were as follows: Brant, Hentz Flower Co., Madison, N. J., showed Rose Madison; vote of tlianks. Edwin Jenkins, Lenox, Mass., stiowed Primula malacoldes; certificate of merit.

The annual jaunt of the New York and New Jersey Association of Plant Growers to visit the Long Island estab- lishments took place March 7, with G. Dreyer's place as the rendezvous. The day was ideal, and the sight-seeing auto was full, the overflow trailing in A. L. Miller's machine, that gentleman acting as master of ceremonies. There were present F. Marquardt, of Middle Vil- lage; A. L. Miller, of Jamaica; G. Dreyer, of Elmhurst; J. H. Fieser, of North Bergen; Heber J. Ware, of New York; H. Schoelzel, of New Durham; C. W. Scott, of Whitestone; H. Schmidt, of Union Hill; Geo. Scott, of Flatbush; Henry Baumann, H. C. Steinhoff and Oscar Boehler, of West Hoboken; Mr. Lehnig, of Hackensack, and Anton Schultheis, Jr., of College Point, and representatives of the press. J. H. Troy and Geo. Stumpp were discovered en- gaging their Easter plants on the island, and the Rosery man dismissed his taxi and joined the company. A splendid dinner was served at Meiderstein 's, in Middle Village, and the first look at the Easter plants was made at Dreyer's, where everything was as if on dress parade. Leaving Mr. Drejer's at 10 a. m., the first stop was at the Knight & Struck heather fac- tory, both of the principals being on the road. The Hinode plant was the second diversion, Mr. Scott having pro- vided against chills and pneumonia. Close at hand is the establishment of Pankok & Schumacher, where Mrs. San- der daisies and Tausendschon and Wed- ding Bells roses were especially at- tractive. Mr. Schumacher is in Europe. The next visit was at Louis Dupuy's, where all the stock was excellent. Ow- ing to Mrs. Dupuy's illness, the genial Frenchman was unable to join the fra- ternity. From Dupuy's to the Schul- theis plant factory was the next step. The veteran grower was so busy with customers he was obliged to send the "chip off the old block" along to rep- resent him. Mrs. Schultheis and Miss Schultheis are at Palm Beach. Next was John Miesem's. Owing to the severe illness of his 9-year-old son Mr. Miesem was unable to tour with the party. From Elmhurst to Middle Vil- lage was the final run before the din- ner, and here the retail and wholesale plant of President Marquardt was in- spected. After a much appreciated din- ner the big machine started for Ja- maica, and the big plant of A. L. Miller was visited. From Miller's to John Scott's through east New York and the boulevards, was the next trip and here and at Peter Wagner's everything was perfection. Then came Louis Schmutz's, Alfred Zeller's and Frank Manker'sy and the delightful day came to a close. To describe one of these Long Island establishments is to de- scribe them all, as far as up-to-date- ness and skillfully grown stock is con- cerned. March 14 the New Jersey members will be visited. Various Notes. The Horticultural Society of New York will have an exhibition of orchids and roses, Saturday, March 23, at the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West and Seventy-seventh street, from 1 to 5 p. m. At 4 p. m. Robert Pyle will deliver his lecture on "Among the Eoses in Europe." Many tables have been engaged for the silver jubilee of the Florists' Club, March 23, and prominent florists from all over the country have responded to the invitation to be with us, President Vincent, of the S. A. F., among them. Owing to the earlier arrival of a con- signment of roses, rhododendrons, box- wood and evergreens than was antici- pated, the MacNiff Horticultural Co. held its first auction sale March 12. Sales will continue every Tuesday and Friday until summer. Winkler Bros., sweet pea growers, of Hackensack, N. J., have just placed an order with T. B.

Balthasar Stahl. Balthasar Stahl, a widely known florist of Philadelphia, died at his home in West Philadelphia on the even- ing of March 8, after a brief illness. Mr. Stahl was born in Germany a little over sixty-two years ago. He came to this country when 16 years of a^e, going first to New York. Ten years later, in the Centennial year, he re- moved to Philadelphia to commence work as a florist. Later he formed a partnership with M. F. LaRoche, under the firm name of LaRoche & Stahl, doing a wholesale and retail cut flower business at the northeast cor- ner of Thirteenth and Chestnut streets, with greenhouses at CoUingdale, Pa. The firm did a large business, handling the product of many of the principiQ growers of , the day. Mr. Stahl had charge of the retail department of the business, and by his unfailing courtesy and attention to business won many friends. When the firm dissolved part- nership Mr. Stahl opened a retail store at 27 South Eleventh street under his own name, which he continued until the time of his death. A branch store and greenhouses operated by his son, Charles B. Stahl, at Twelfth and Dick- inson streets, furnished the foliage plants used in decorating, an important part of the business. The funeral, which was attended by relatives and friends, took place March 12. Joseph Heinl. Joseph Heinl, long prominent in the business life of Jacksonville, 111., suf- fered an attack of a paralytic type March 7 and died at midnight March 12. Joseph Heinl was born January 13, 1838, near Eger on the border line be- tween Bavaria and Austria, and so was 74 years of age at the time of his death. With his parents and three brothers he removed to Toledo, O., in 1856, and four years later he located at Terre Flowers at the Funeral ef Nels P.

TheWeekly Florists' Review. 81 Haute, Ind., where he engaged in busi- ness as a florist and nurseryman. In 1870 he removed to Jacksonville, and March 10 marked the forty-second an- niversary of his business career in that city. When he located at Jacksonville he established a florist and nursery business at the present site of the Heinl greenhouses and had his residence there. Later, for a number of years, he had greenhouses on South Main street, and the family residence was on the same property. Subsequently a sub- stantial residence was erected on Green- wood avenue and the business was also transferred to that location. Mr. Heinl belonged to a family of florists, all of his brothers being en- gaged in the business and successful. He was a charter member of the So- ciety of American Florists and was widely known. With advancing years he determined to surrender some of his cares and he therefore incorporated the business, associating with him his daughter and three of his sons. In June, 1866, Mr. Heinl was married in Toledo to Miss Mary Elizabeth Francis, who survives him, with the fol- lowing children: Frank J., of Jackson- ville; Harry, of Toledo; Miss Adele, Edward D., William, Orlando B. and Ernest B., all of Jacksonville. There are two brothers surviving, George A., of Toledo, and John G., of Terre Haute, and two grandchildren, Lorna and Jo- seph Lawrence, children of Harry Heinl. One son, Albert, died in 1907. Mr. Heinl had long been identified with lodge life in Jacksonville. He was a member of Harmony lodge No. 3, A. F. & A. M.; Jacksonville chapter, B. & S. M.; Jacksonville council. Hos- pitaler Commandery, K. T., and Urania lodge, I. O. O. F. Nels P. Colberg. Nels P. Colberg, one of the oldest and most respected florists' of Illinois, died of pneumonia at his home in Princeton, 111., on Thursday, February 29, at the age of 69 years. He was born at St. Olaf, Sweden, March 31, 1842. He came to America in 1868 and settled at Princeton. He was the leading flo- rist there until 1901, when he sold his greenhouses to O. Lindstrom and re- moved to Ottawa, 111., where he lived for about a year. From there he went to Morris, 111., where he bought the greenhouses of the Morris Floral Co. On account of his failing health, he sold these in 1909 to Ivend Krohn and Henry Eohmer, and returned to Prince- ton, where he had since made his home. He is survived by his wife and three children. The offerings of flowers at his funeral were unusually large and fine. Francis Pentland. Monday afternoon, March 11, at the ripe old age of 84 years, Francis Pent- land, of Lockland, O., was called to his Maker. He was a pioneer of the florists' business of Cincinnati and vicinity. The deceased was born at Edinburgh, Scotland, August 14, 1828. After he grew into young manhood he worked in London a few years. It was soon after 1850 that he came to this country. His first place was with Eobert Buist, in Philadelphia. Then he removed to Cincinnati via the Ohio river, taking with him the first Vic- toria regia m those parts. Upon this plant, while working in 1854 for the Hon. Nicholas Longworth, father of Nels P. Colberg. the present congressman, he won with the victoria a diploma at an exposi- tion under the auspices of the O. M. I. The diploma now hangs on the walls of the club rooms of the Cincinnati Florists' Society, of which Mr. Pent- land was an honorary member. In 1860 he removed to Lockland and started the plant now occupied by the Bloom- hurst Floral Co. Fourteen years ago he sold "out to W. K. Partridge and re- tired from active business. Mr. Pent- land, too, was at one time a most prominent member of the Ohio Horti- cultural Society. Fred Miesel. Fred Miesel, of Detroit, Mich., died quite suddenly on Saturday, March 9, at the age of 59 years. He was a char- ter member of the Detroit Florists' Club and one of the city's pioneer flo- rists. He specialized for some years in cyclamens, begonias, primroses and various potted plants. The business will be continued by his son, Fred Miesel, Jr. TOEONTO. The Market. Business last week was good. De- sign work was plentiful and the usual orders for cut flowers combined to make a busy week. Stock is arriving in good condition, and lots of it. Beau- ties are seen in small lots. The Darwin tulip is seen in several of the shops and those dealers who have it report an excellent sale for it. Anemones are now arriving and look exceedingly well. Sweet peas and stocks are excellent, also violets. At present there is a large sale , for deep red carnations. Various Notes. Tidy is showing a fine display of flowering plants in pots and fancy bas- kets. He reports an excellent trade. The grip is prevalent throughout the city and the staffs in several of the stores are reduced on this account. Mrs. Walker, on Avenue road, has sold out and her store has been taken by a tailoring firm. J. H. Dunlop is showing some of the finest stocks seen here in a long while. Harry Dillemuth and S. A. Frost re- port an excellent trade in the Spadina College district. The question of who is to be next park commissioner is still unsettled. There are several applicants, but Chas. Chambers is acting in the meantime. The plants in the civic greenhouses at Allan gardens and Exhibition park are in fine condition and when the time comes to put them out they will make a good showing. E. A. F. Ilion, N. y. — Ward Gordon is rebuild- ing his greenhouses on Otsego street, which were burned some time ago. When completed, the houses will be much more commodious than the old ones and will enable Mr. Gordon to cope with his increasing business. 30 The Weekly Florists' Review. MaU( 11 I 1. \'.>V2.

With sphagnum so scarce at this date, the design makers are apt to be put to their wite' ends for "stuffing" material before the next season's supply arrives. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Keview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. In 1886 and 1887 the movement to or- ganize florists into local clubs had its biggest boom, and quarter-century anni- versary celebrations therefore are in or- der. In recent months the Chicago, Bos- ton and St. Louis clubs have celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversaries, March 11 the Baltimore club did the same and March 23 the New York organization will observe its silver jubilee. The United States CivU Service Com- mission has been unable to secure a suffi- cient number of eligibles qualified in plant pathology for the Department of Agriculture. At the present time there are three vacancies to fill at salaries rang- ing from $1,200 to $1,600 per annum. An examination is to be held April 10 and 11 and those interested should apply to the United States Civil Service Com- mission, Washington, D. C. The investigation of express com- panies that has been conducted by the Interstate Commerce Commission has brought out clearly that the railroads control the express service and operate it in the interest of the railroads rather than in the interest of the public. What we need is a law to divorce the express companies and the railroads; then there will be no such thing as the Wells Fargo turning over about sixty per cent of its gross receipts on that line to the St. Paul railroad.

CmCACK). The Great Central Market. There has been some improvement in market conditions since last report, but it has been only in the direction of a little larger legitimate demand. A somewhat larger proportion of the daily receipts now are taken into the regular channels of trade, leaving less in the oversupply to be jobbed off or go into the waste. Business is not yet what could be called active, and there is an abundant supply of practically everything now in season. In some lines the supply is the heaviest known at this date, and the quality of most of the stock is excellent. Prices continue to rule extremely low, considering that winter still is with us, the present week opening with an all day's fall of snow. The least plentiful item is good American Beauty roses. There are considerable quantities now being cut, but most of them are short in stem and poor in flower. A few really first-class long Beauties are being cut, but there is no oversupply of these. The demand, however, is not heavy. Killarneys are excellent; the spring crop is on and bet- ter stock could not be asked for. There is an abundant supply of all lengths. Boses are decidedly cheaper than they were a few weeks ago, but they are holding their prices better than most other lines of stock. Outside of th^ Killarneys and Bichmond no large MABCH 14, 1012.

We were the first to offer indoor Sweet Peas in quantity ; it was our stock that gave winter Sweet Peas their present popularity, and we have led for quality and quantity season after season, but we never have handled finer Peas, or so many of them as at present. All colors. We can furnish any lengths wanted, up to the special long stems. Acquaint your cus- tomers with their fresh fragrance and it will give your sales a nice boost. KILLARNEYS White and Pinl( Our crop of Killamey and White Killarney is not only large, but the quality is a little extra even for us. It has long been recognized that length for length of stem our Killameys carried the finest flowers of any in this market. If you are not using our Killameys, you ought to be, if you want the best. CARNATIONS All Colors— Fine Stock Once a user of our Carnations, always a user is almost always the rule — because outs is the. best average large lot of Carnations in this market.

Carnations have improved in demand, so that prices are not quite so low as they were last week, though they still are far below what such high grade stock usually brings. This week white is held more firmly than the colored varieties, because of the approach of St. Patrick's day and the anticipated large demand for stock for dyeing. With so abundant a supply of first-class carna- tions there has been extremely little sale for the splits, which have been numerous, and considerable quantities of which have gone to waste, especially of the colored varieties. It has been noted that there is scarcely any de- mand for the Lawson shade. Sweet peas are arriving in enormous quantities. The market never before has been so heavily supplied at this date, nor has the quality been so fine. The combination of high quality and large supplies makes it possible to do a big business in p5^, but the prices are proving a keen disappointment to the growers. Good peas never before have brought so little money as they are now returning. Pink sells best. Violets have not done any better in the last week than in the fortnight preceding. The best sell fairly well at low prices, and the poorest not at all, with the result that the average re- turns hardly can afford any cause for cheerfulness at Rhinebeck, and the local singles are doing scarcely any bet- ter. Cattleyas have advanced a trifle in price, the supply now being light; there would be a scarcity if there were a brisk demand. Valley continues abun- dant. Easter lilies are so plentiful that the flowers are selling at the price of the bulb, which does not give much margin for the man whose stock is turning out only one or two flowers per bulb. All bulbous stock is in large supply, but not pressing the market so badly as in the first few days of Lent. Some good snapdragons now are seen, with occasionally a nice lot of mignonette, but miscellaneous flowers are hardly as conspicuous as usual. Club Meeting.

John Helbok, who has a retail es- tablishment and connecting green- house, has a deal on to sell his place at 941 Wrightwood avenue. He has no plans as to a future location. George Perdikas, whose main store is at 407 Wabash and who has a branch on Jackson boulevard, has bought the. basement store at Wabash avenue and Van Buren street. He claims to be the largest buyer in this market. Fred Fischer, 2737 North Clark street, is getting his share of funeral work and last week was a busy one. Bush orders started Monday and kept his force on the jump through the week. He has had a Buick delivery car in service for two years and says with the increase of business, brought by its advertising advantages and prompt delivery services, he could hardly get along without it. E. E. Pieser reports having already placed a considerable part of the peony roots bought from the Chicago Car- nation Co., putting them where Ken- nicott Bros. Co. will get the cut. John Paulus, at 4501 North Clark street, believes that in time it will pay the outlying florist to do some adver- tising to offset the publicity stunts of the downtown retailers. He advises special sales and circulars when a glut is on and prices low. Charles Zapfe, who recently married and who started in business on Sixty- first street November 15^ reports each month's sales an increase over the pre- ceding month. He was for many years with J. A.

While a good many are complaining about their poor luck with bulbous stock this season, John Fuhrman, 3164 North Clark street, asserts that this year's crop is much superior to those •of previous seasons. The hyacinths he is showing are extremely fine and other growers are wanting some of the same brand of bulbs. It is said that the new store, Wei- land's, has a lease for fourteen years in the basement of the Venetian build- ing. John Farmer, formerly with Koropp, has joined the staff of Stollery Bros, and has charge of the Wilson avenue store. He reports business at the latter place as being in fine shape and stead- ily growing. A. Miller and G. Eeburn, of Hen- derson & Co., are at home for show week. Frank Kidwell, eldest son of John F.

Last year the city laid out a park south of Foster avenue, opposite the greenhouses of Peter Eeinberg and his brother, George. A plan is under con- sideration to tear down the greenhouses at the south end of the two ranges and put up two blocks of flats. George Eeinberg is said to favor the plan, but the alderman is not yet ready to begin what will in the end be the removal of the entire rose plant to the country place where the carnations have been for several years, E.

His office is at 5329 Ellis avenue. Wm. Harbitz, 3435 West Chicago avenue, plans to sell his retail flower store and go into the cigar business. John Michelsen, of the E. C.

Business has been good for the last week, but not of such a nature as to relieve the market of the oversupply of carnations and bulbous stock. There has been considerable funeral work and plants are selling well, but in this lenten season there is little demand for loose flowers for table and other deco- rating. Various Notes. Fred Miesel, a charter member of the Detroit Florists' Club and one of this city's pioneer florists, died sud- denly March 9. Further particulars are given in this week's obituary column. The Detroit Saturday Night cele- brated its fifth anniversary March 2, and the offices and editorial rooms were quite elaborately decorated by one of our best known firms. H. S. ST. Loxns. The Market. From reports of all the leading flo- rists, Lent has affected them more this year than in any previous year and social work seems at a complete stand- still; about the only work that is go- ing on is for funerals and decorations for spring openings at the department stores. The weather, too, has been against us, with a great deal of snow; another big snow storm struck us Mon- day, March 11. There is an abundance of cut stock arriving, in spite of the dark, cloudy weather, and during the week ending March 9 the big glut was still on at all the wholesale houses, with the re- sult that prices were slaughtered on big lots as they never have been be- fore at this time of the year, although all the stock that comes in is of high quality. The greatest glut is in Cali- fornia violets, sweet peas and carna- tions. Lilies, both calla and longiflorum, have been arriving in large lots and sold as low as $5 per hundred. The wholesalers are looking for a let-up this week and we will surely have to have a great deal of sunshine from now on or Easter lilies will be scarce. Various Notes.

Ordinarily florists formerly "dressed up" their plants by the slow method of winding some crepe paper around the pot, then hunting up some ribbon and tying it around, with the result that the ribbon loosened or the crepe paper slipped every time the plant was handled. The Ever- Ready Pot Cover has a strong cardboard foundation, covered with waterproof crepe paper, tied top and bottom with silk fiber ribbon and securely fastened with metal clips.

The cut flower market is a shade more encouraging, though perhaps it could be more accurately stated as a shade less depressing than a week ago. Shipping orders, the life of the market, have fallen off; local buyers, except in a few instances, allow longer intervals to elapse between their orders. The weather has been cold and stormy enough to deter many of the enterpris- ing individuals who would otherwise take a chance on the tempting offers seen on all sides. There are too many good flowers coming into the market to meet the requirement. Prices are ir- regular, with a downward tendency on quantity, particularly where the buyer is not too critical. Violets, especially the New York doubles, and carnations have felt the depressing conditions as much, some say a little more, than other flowers. Tulips are in an unhappy plight, indeed; the dry summer in Europe shows its effect in, some say, ninety-five per cent imperfect flowers. It is generally admitted that the pres- ent depression is always the worse. The records show that what the markejt has been undergoing during the last three weeks is not unusual and that the vol- ume of business is probably fully equal to that of previous years in mid-Lent. Easter Plants. Most of the houses of the Robert Craig Co. are filled with Easter plants; there are more plants and better plants than even one familiar with the place expects to see. The varieties and quan- tities of each give some idea of their respective popularity. The first section in point of numbers is devoted to the lily, the rose and the hydrangea. The lily is entirely Lilium giganteum. They are of excellent height, vigorous and full of buds. The rose, largely of the Wichuraiana type, with a small pro- portion of hybrids, is cultivated with great success. The leading five varie- ties are Lady Gay, Dorothy Perkins, Tausendschon, Hiawatha and Juanita, considered by M. H. Walsh as his best introduction and an exclusive novelty White Carnations For ST. PATRICK'S DAY Not a hay-wagon load, but we hope enough to go around. Mid-Lent Specialties Violets — Very fine stock, single and double. Datfodils — Clean stock, good value.

A triumph of culture in these roses is the handle-basket made of strong plants usually grown in 9-inch pots so perfectly trained and flowered that the outline is wonderfully clear. Each basket is formed so that a pot may be dropped inside and held firmly in place. There are also effective umbrellas and globes grown as stand- ards. The Baby Bamblers include all the leading varieties of that type, popu- lar where small plants are desired. Magna Charta is the hybrid par excel- lence and is well grown. The hydrangea has come forward into the leading division on its merit. There are four houses, chiefly Otaksa, with a few novelties. They have been brought on without undue haste and show the benefits of cool treatment. The second division is filled by the azalea, the genista, the rhododendron. the daisy and the spiraea. They were all well represented by fine stock. The principal novelties are Mrs. F. Sander, a wonderfully large flowered daisy, double and pure white; and Pink Pearl, hardly a novelty among rhododendrons, but too scarce to be found in most col- lections in the past. The genistas are particularly pleasing this season. The third division is filled by foliage plants often used at Easter; Dracaena Mas- sangeana, beautifully colored Dracaena terminalis, Ficus pandurata and all man- ner of ferns, Boston type. The 'entire collection is well grown, reflecting credit on Eobert A. Craig and Duncan Macaw. The Scarcity of Dens. The manager was worried.

Most of them called for Dendrobium formosum, a few for white orchids, and they must all be delivered early the next day. Telephones to the wholesale houses in the city had brought runners with all the dens in sight; they had evidently not been received that day or the day before, or even the day before that, and they showed it. The market was absolutely bare of stock of the desired quality. How he blessed the advanced education of the public, so earnestly urged on all his salesmen! Had it not been for this the orders would have been for a wreath, a cross or what-not of white or purple and no one would have thought of Dendrobium formosum. A friend called. The situation was explained; he at once volunteered to go to the nearest flower center, a hundred miles away, in search of dens. Ten minutes later this friend was on the Limited with all the manager's spare cash in his pocket. It was an anxious evening; the designs stood mossed awaiting completion, while the floral artist cleared up every vestige of work possible, awaiting the needed stock. jAnother friend dropped in. "Oh! I have been over there," he said, "dens are scarcer than here; you can't get them for love or money." The mana- ger was nearly wild. Every form of expedient known in the substituter 's art floated through his brain. The tele- phone bell rang. It was his friend from the distant center. "I have the dens," he said, "all you want and more, at rather less than your limit. I'll be over soon after midnight." The manager felt that life was worth living after all. Gathering at Bergers'. There was an informal meeting of floral luminaries at the store of Berger Bros, one day last week that is of more than passing interest. It was purely accidental, no invitations being sent out. Those present were W. W. Craw- ford, John C. Gracey, Baymond Kester, Paul R. Klingsporn, M. D. Matthews, Bound Brook, N. J.; Wallace- R. Pier- son, Cromwell, Conn., and William Stevens, Chestnut Hill. Mr. Pierson has the reputation of always saying something worth hearing. On this oc- casion he said that the growers had made greater strides during the last ten years than had been made in any other business, and that the retailers owed it to themselves and their pro- fession to set aside a portion of their ^ Budlong's E Blue Ribbon Valley Mention The Review when you write. earnings each year to be devoted to ad- vertising in order to broaden their field of usefulness. Mr. Crawford and Mr. Gracey thought that they had earned exemption from such a charge; Mr. Kester looked thoughtfully out of the window and pictured that broad expanse of plate glass "up the street" to which Charles Baxter devotes such untiring attention, while somebody said something about what Joseph Josephs is doing. Mr. Stevens made one of his uiianswerable assertions and the meet- ing adjourned. Various Notes. Philip Freud arranged a pleasingly suggestive window of early spring at Michell's last week. There was real grass, a sweet pea covered fence and a rose arbor in the background, with March 14, 1912.

There was no improvement in the condition of trade last week, and there appears to be no improvement in sight, although the florists are expecting big things from the Easter trade. Boses and carnations are not in heavy sup- ply and the weather is such that it does not advance the cut materially. The only cut that is overabundant is the lily crop. The sale of spring flow- ers is rushing, but these are not over- abundant, due to the fact that the weather has been too severe to allow the grower to get them in from the outside. Various Notes.

The mornings were divided into two periods, 8:30 to 10 and 10:15 to 11:45; the afternoons into two periods, 2 to 3:30 and 3:45 to 5:15, and the evenings into one commencing at 8 o'clock. Dur- ing these periods there were from two to six lectures being delivered at one time. There was a printed program and you could take your choice, whether it was lime sulphur as a summer spray, or commercial fattening of poultry, pork production or control of orchard enemies. With one thing I was par- ticularly impressed. It was announced in the opening address that all lectures would be given on time. We found it so. Many of the buildings were con- siderable distances apart and while there were fifteen minutes between periods, there was a hurrying time to get from one lecture to another, and if not on time we found the lecture had begun. I could not help but com- pare it with the lack of promptness shown in our meetings of the S. A. F. Most of the counties of the state were represented by farmers in attend- ance, and to show how it was appre- ciated by keen business men, I mention that the Frick Coke Co. had three bt its farm managers there learning of better methods of managing their farms. The subjects were of great variety and embraced such subjects as soil analysis, organic matter, beautifying the home grounds, computing dairy ra- tions, hatching and raising chicks, manures and their economic uses, en- ergy value of feeds, draft of farm ma- CUT FLOWER BOXES AND FIBER SHIPPING CASES It will pay you to get our samples and prices before ordering.

It was only possible to hear a part of them, and one had to take his choice. Many of the lectures were re- peated, so that if one did not get them at one period there was a chance to get them later. For one whole week they were being delivered and it was remarkable the interest shown in them and the attendance. The cost of attending is light, as $25 will pay all expenses for the week's outing. The information gained is in- valuable and the rest and change from one's labors is of great benefit. It is an old saying, "It is well to get out of sight of the smoke of your own chimney." It is also well to have a change from such steady work as run- ning a florist's business. So well was I pleased with the farmers' week at State College that during the last month I took in farmers' week at Cor- nell University, where 1,800 of New York's most intelligent farmers came to get new ideas of their business and went home better and wiser men and women. The man who today does not keep up with the procession of eager and active minds that are engaged in get- ting a living from the soil will soon be left out of the race.

With the advancement of the season everything has a springlike appear- ance; longer days and more sunshine are bringing out stock in general, out- side as well as inside. Many are tak- ing advantage of the season in prepar- ing their lawns and setting out their rose plants and shrubbery. So far all recoids have been broken in demand for outside stock. Carnations are over- plentiful in all varieties, but roses are a little short in supply. Spring stock of all varieties is in surplus, but afford a large variety of flowers. Sweet peas are to be had in limited quantities and of good quality. It is unanimously conceded by all that February business was a surprise and far ahead of last year; also far ahead of January. Various Notes. F. B. Wright, representing the Wild Rose Nursery Co., Spokane, was a week end caller, securing additional stock. E. R. C. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The long expected rainfall has ar- rived and everyone welcomed it most cordially. It has proved a boon to out- side stock and thousands of narcissi are sent into town daily in conse- quence. Violets were commencing to show the effects of the dry season be- fore the downpour, and they also have taken a new lease of life. Inside stock of all kinds is up to requirements, with but little excess. Roses are in good supply and of good quality and the same can be said of carnations. Easter lilies, valley and hyacinths are in fair evidence. Freesias are about over for the year and all early varieties of tulips have disappeared from the mar- ket. Fruit blossoms and wild flowers are being need in large lots. Potted azaleas are at their best and, from all accounts, there will be plenty for the Easter trade. Business, in comparison with that of last season during Lent, seems to be a shade better, with good prospects for a heavy Easter. Various Notes.

A visit to the greenhouses of Fer- rari Bros, shows a splendid lot of roses in good shape for a heavy Easter cut- ting. Robert Miller, recently of New Or- leans, is in town and will make an effort to locate himself in this locality if he finds a suitable place for a start in the retail trade. The California Evergreen Co. has re- moved its wholesale depot from San Pablo avenue to Sixteenth street, near the corner of Clay street, Oakland. G. SEATTIJ!, WASH. The Market. Business has shown a slight improve- ment over recent conditions. The de- mand for all kinds of cut flowers has been better, but the prices are none too good yet. Bulb stock has been sell- ing more cheaply this season than ever before; the prices have not been suffi- cient in some cases to pay the cost of the bulbs and there is not much en- couragement to growers to lay out much more money for such poor re- turns. Carnations are fairly plentiful and in fine condition; the bright sun- shine of late has vastly improved their quality. Outside narcissi are now coming in, to add to the joy of the greenhouse growers. Freesias have shown better quality than usual this season. Valley is plentiful, but is not bringing remunerative prices. Roses are selling well, stock of good quality bringing fair prices. Violets are meet- ing with a ready sale; home-grown stock is now plentiful. The department stores are conduct- ing special sales of rose plants and nursery stock, as well as spring bed- ding plants. The class of stock they offer in most cases is of the cheapest grade. In most places the clerks know nothing about the plants they are try- ing to sell and the public is often mis- led; this condition does not tend to improve the trade in any way. Various Notes. Sam Graff, who was recently called to Columbus, O., owing to the death of his brother, William Graff, has decided to remain in that city. The business which he was conducting successfully on the Marion street viaduct has bee* purchased by T. G. Niblett, of Green Lake. Mr. Niblett has made a new de- parture for him, his business previously having been the growing of carnations. He has a most efficient store manager in Eddie O'Neill. E.

The residents of Mount Baker Park have resolved to hold a rose show this year. Why not come into line and hold one large show for the whole city and neighborhood? T. W. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. The rain that started in with March gave quite an impetus to business in all lines and the florists felt it as soon as anyone. The amount of stock of all kinds that has been pouring into the market is truly remarkable, but it all cleans up and at fair prices. In bulb- ous stock, daffodils are still the leaders, with hyacinths and tulips running them hard. In daffodils Emperor and Empress have arrived and are beauti- ful. The northern men still send down their surplus roses, Beauties and fine Bride and Bridesmaid being the best of the importations. In local grown stock My Maryland holds its position and fine stock is shown. Killarney and White Killarney are poor and Radi- ance seems to hang its head more than ever. Carnations are on the short side. Violets are poor and scentless. Sweet peas keep up fairly well and are use- ful for all classes of work. Spanish irises are in and gladioli are more plen- tiful. In plants there are a few white and colored wistarias that look pretty, though the sales are not heavy. Palms and Boston and Whitman! ferns still have the lead. Greens are on the scarce side, especially long strings of Asparagus plumosus. Various Notes. Iris Susiana has caused quite a little interest, being shown in the windows of the Angelus Flower Shop.

Mrs. Lichtenberg has been absent from the store on ac- count of sickness. The H. N. Gage Co. is doing a big shipping business. A fine grade of Spanish iris is being handled now. Creutz & Co. are now shipping ele- gant tulips and cut lilies to their cus- tomers and report a big demand. On account of the heavy rain there was only a moderate attendance at the March meeting of the Los Angeles Horticultural Society. Mr. Winsel's paper on "Lawns and Lawn Making" was heartily received, however, and caused a lively discussion. Considerable dissatisfaction is felt in the trade here at the way it has been treated by the management of the land show. They, it appears, wanted a bo- tanical show, but, instead of approach- ing anyone in the trade, made an ap- propriation of some $300 to an amateur whose name is frequently before the public on such occasions. He has been asking for assistance from the trade to make and explain his display, but if anyone in the trade wants to make an exhibit he has to pay an exorbitant space rate. It is hardly necessary to say that the nursery trade will not be largely represented. H. E. Richards. OUR NEW CROP ASPARAGUS riUNOSUS NANUS ind ASPARAGUS SPRENGERI Guaranteed true to name. Ready now.

Eight Pages of Retailers' Cards This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facilities for filling 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 so 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? ' J.A.YALENTINB.

While the improvement is not marked, it comes as a distinct relief after the last few weeks' experience. The weather has been milder and the street fakers have secured all the flowers they wanted at practically their own prices, but this has helped in some measure to steady conditions. There is no like- lihood of an animated market before Easter, as the demand seems entirely inadequate to the heavy receipts dur- ing glut periods. Some methods should be devised so that the general buying public could obtain flowers at a moder- ate cost, which would otherwise go to the rubbish barrels. If it were; possible to institute occasional bargaii days, those who rarely buy flowers would speedily clean up any surplus. Boses are much more abundant and from $1 to $6 covers the prices of all but select stock.

Some go lower; others as high as 50 cents, but these must be fine. Some superb sweet peas on long stems bring $1.25 to .$1.50 per hundred, while some of the short- stemmed stock is worth about these prices per thousand. Bulb stock, which has had a hard road to travel of late, is doing a little better. There is a heavier cut of lilies and callas, with only a light call. English primroses are more plentiful and in favor, as are bachelor's buttons and yellow mar- guerites. Cattleyas are shortening up, but are ample for the light demand. Gardenias are rather more plentiful. Only a moderate call exists for adian- tum and asparagus. Pot plant trade is picking up steadily and leading grow- ers are already pretty well sold out in some lines for Easter. Various Notes.

It seems that every year the supply of cut flowers becomes abundant about the time Lent sets in, and this year is hardly an exception. This, no doubt, is due to the awakening of nature, which puts new life into vegetation, especially such as is grown under glass during the winter months. Although there was a good demand for stock last week, the supply was more than sufficient. Consequently, prices have taken a decided drop in a good many instances. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. F. W.

It proved to be an ideal picnic place last year; hence the selection for this season. Edw. A. OUinger, of Chicago, who did some bowling last Sunday and came up the night before to visit some of the boys, learned upon his arrival that his sister, who lives here, had just undergone a serious operation. The A. F. Kellner Co. is busy with rush work for the spring opening events of several of the largest dry goods houses. E. 0. STEAMER SAILINGS.

Thk Yeager Seed Store has been opened at 2126 Main street, Parsons, Kan. Howard M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, enrolled on the sick list in February. Several of the Holland bulb exporting firms have established warehouses and offices at OUioules, the center of the French bulb growing district. The situation as regards the supply of seeds is such that much looking about is being done in quest of new districts for seed growing, with a fair prospect that the acreage under seed crops this year will be considerably greater than last season. At Eocky Ford, Colo., D. V. Burrell has a collection of envelopes from his seed patrons displayed in his window, representing nearly every section of the globe. The letters are a great curiosity to the people of the town and represent the orders received in three weeks. The Binghamton Seed Co., of Bing- hamton, N. Y., has moved from 161 Wa- ter street to 135 Court street. The new store is centrally located, both for city and country trade, and is well equipped and stocked. The firm owns and operates the Tulley greenhouses, on Spring Forest avenue. The Japanese bulb exporters still are making shipments of the 1911 crop of lily bulbs, although the exports from January 14 to February 13, 1912, amounted to only 150 cases, shipped as follows: By Yokohama Nursery Co., 67 cases; Arai Shoten, 82; Shiari Shoten, 1. During the month considerable quantities of roots and plants were exported. Eepresentative C. a. Lobeck, of Ne- braska, has introduced into Congress a bill providing for the appropriation of $100,000 for the purchase and special distribution of field and garden seeds in the western, southwestern and northwest- ern states, where, on account of the drought last year, the crops were a fail- ure. These seeds are to be distributed at the discretion of the Secretary of Agri- culture and are to be made available immediately following the passage of the bill. Owing to the backward season in Cali- fornia, all Winter and late Sweet Pea Seed will be late in maturing. To avoid late deliveries, I will send all early orders of Winter Sweet Pea Seed directly from our ranch in Lompoc, Cal. These will reach my farthest customers not later than August 10th, saving over four weeks' time. Send all letters of importance to Lompoc, Cal. We will have all the leading colors and many novelties. Orders booked now. New complete list will be sent out in May. Here is a testimonial from one of many satisfied customers : Mt. Airy, Md., Feb. 26, 1912. Dear Sir: — We have been cutting very fine peas this season from your stock. Stems 18 and 20 Inches, with .t, 4 and 5 flowers, and in several instances with 6 flowers to a stem. You deserve and receive great honor from the trade for bringing Winter flowering Sweet Peas to their present high position In the market.

Santa Ana, Cal., March 7. — Every- body is rejoicing that rains have come and more are promised by the fore- caster. If sufficient moisture falls soon the bean and most crops in this section are assured. Barley can not be much of a crop. Some fields will make a fair yield, but as a whole this crop will be extremely short. Some seed crops are already seriously cut into, but all those which are yet to be planted or which have been under irri- gation should make full crops. The rains are falling slowly but continuous- ly, so that the earth absorbs it all. — Haven Seed Co. Los Angeles, Cal., March 8. — We are pleased to advise that we are having a series of storms during the last three days, which have given relief to the seed growers and farmers in general throughout the state, it being the first rain of any consequence since March 4, 1911. If we had received a little more early in the season it would have made prospects better. They are now ex- tremely late and have made no growth, so we fear they will not blossom and set in time to escape the hot weather in the summer-time, which is always det- rimental to this crop. Although these rains are enabling us to commence operations in beans, we have not had sufficient for the season to assure crops on Lima and pole beans, and it will be difficult to determine the future of the bean crop until May. — John Bodger & Sons Co.

The Weekly Florists^ Review. 75 Are you able to stand on your own pins in the business world or do you be- long to the common herd ? There are so many of the common kind — followers — dependent on some leader. These dependents are business weaklings — the kind that can't keep anything to themselves— regular old women in long trousers — pewee tat- tlers and pishmish gabblers. No good on earth except to fill in. Some are mere remittance men — like college sissies; and, by the way, many universities produce just such men— herd men. They dress alike, all have the same mannerisms, the same turn-up to their trousers and even the same tilt to their hat, showing their gray mat- ter is lop-sided. Just the most common clay on earth assisted by a tincture of learn- ing grafted from the think-tank of Professors when their little minds happen to be in a receptive mood and not short-circuited by Anheuser-Busch. Every man should have a college education in order that he may know its worthlessness. Now we come to the independent man — those few and far between — leaders of the herd men; those above the mere commercial riff-raff —men who reason before they act. There are some in the florist business as in other lines, and there will be more each year, leaders in their line whom the other florists come tumbling after. For instance, if a dozen growers see one making money on Dutch bulbs in any one season, about eleven out of the lot, assisted by the Hollanders, will jump right in up to their neck the next season — eleven herd men following on. Of course this makes a glut and none will profit by it. They don't stop to reason. The twelfth man uses his brains. Reason out what you want in any given article, investigate the source of supply^ the final and real cost before you invest, and remember the real profit ' in your business is the difference between the money you pay out and the money which finds its way back to your bank — not merely on your books, but in your bank. In buying lily bulbs and French bulbs especially, you need Horseshoe Brand, because they are ab- solutely the best produced. None better can be had. Prices reasonable. Ask for the Book of Bulbolorgy.

Robinson Seed Co., of Water- loo, Neb., has written to Secretary Mon- roe, of the Chamber of Commerce, ask- ing his assistance in getting in touch with farmers in this valley who will raise seed. The company wishes to se- cure pea, watermelon, cucumber, pump- kin, Hubbard squash, onion and other seeds, and states that any farmer who will send his name and address and acre- age will receive a blank contract for raising seed at a fair price. "Montana alfalfa seed has gained a wide reputation not only in the United States but practically all over the world, being used as a standard by many of the leading seed dealers in this country, and it has been demonstrated that many other kinds of seeds can be raised in this state with equal success and of as high quality." CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA. In last week's issue of The Review general rains were reported over the California seed growing districts, ac- cording to telegrams received March 6. Conditions therefore are not what they were when the following letters were written: San Jose, Cal., March 4. — With re- gard to weather conditions in California, to begin with, we have had only a frac- tion over four inches of rain in the Santa Clara valley. This is far below a normal fall. Still, the seed ranches through this section are looking remark- ably well, owing to the fact that the ground is in a high state of cultivation. The district about San Juan and Hol- lister seems to have suffered more from the drought than this particular section. Unless rain falls in that locality in the near future, crops will be below aver- age. Conditions at this writing are fa- vorable for rain. — Braslan Seed Grow- ers' Co. Gilroy, Cal., March 5. — Concerning the conditions of 1912 crop, will say that so far this winter we have only received about thirty per cent of our normal rainfall to date, and about twenty-five per cent of the rainfall we had to date last year. The crop has been at a standstill for several months, as there has been no moisture in the ground, and the weather has been cold and frosty. I have had my ranches looking much better in early January CANNAS Surplus of the following standard varieties; prices low to close out : Per 100 1100 Per 100 1000 Chas.

The conditions are serious, and I understand that the grow- ers have closed their contract books, for it is entirely out of the question to ac- cept business when there is no possible chance of filling same. We are having a slight disturbance today, and we hope and trust we shall get a few inches of rain, which will brighten up prospects considerably. It is now March 5 and the crop should have been fairly well advanced by this time of the season, but I must say there is hardly any growth whatever, and unless it rains in the near future there will be but little seed shipped out of the state this fall. — Waldo Rohnert.

Can you tell me whether there is a more effective, simple remedy for aphis than tobacco smoke? There is a big demand for head lettuce in this part of Idaho, but I have not been able to get a good greenhouse variety. Can you suggest a good variety? I have had splendid success with the Grand Bapids lettuce, but the market calls for head lettuce. M. N. A. Try Aphis Punk fumigating papers; they will give satisfaction. Other brands may be good, but I know this brand is O. K.; it will kill the aphis quickly. Grand Bapids lettuce pays best, but you should be able to grow the Big Boston hothouse strain. It does better, however, on solid beds than on raised benches and takes a little longer to mature than leaf lettuce. H. G. Tenafly, N. J. — Edward Burrows is a large grower of smilax and asparagus.

Andem, of North Grosvenordale, agent for the Grosvenordale Co. Mr. Andem has placed the greenhouses in the direct charge of Bichard Hermanson, a florist of over twenty years' experience in this country and in Sweden, and the business is being pushed energetically.

Orchard planting in the Pacific north- west has not held up to the highwater mark. The Hawks Nursery Co., of Wauwa- tosa, Wis., has purchased a 40-acre tract known as the old Gilbert farm, near North avenue, at the west limits of the towrn. Peyton Bros. & Barnes, proprietors of the Boonville Nurseries, at Boonville, Mo., have added a real estate department to their business, being convinced that the real estate and nursery trades can be carried on together with advantage to both. The Lewis & Valentine Co. has been incorporated at East Kockaway, N. Y., with a capital of $50,000, for the purpose of carrying on a general nursery busi- ness, landscape gardening, etc. The in- corporators are H. C. Lewis, R. K. Valen- tine and A. A. Lewis. At a recent meeting of the stockholders of the Salt Lake Nursery Co., Salt Lake, Utah, the following oflScers were chosen: President and manager, Martin Christo- pherson; vice-president and assistant manager, William J. Home; secretary and treasurer, Elias A. Smith; additional director, Lorilla L. Home. Nurserymen in the north are not par- ticularly pleased with the prospect. Here it is the middle of March, with deep snow on the ground in many sections and the certainty that frost will not be out of the soil for some time yet, for it went deep this winter. A late start usually means a short planting season. B. & A. SPECIALTIES PALMS. BAY TREES. BOXWOOD AND HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS. EVERGREENS. ROSES, RHODODENDRONS. VINES AND CLIMBERS.

The Mount Arbor Nursery, of Shenan- doah, la., has filed objections with the state board of horticulture at Laramie, Wyo., against the payment of the state license. The stockholders of the Alabama Nursery Co., at Huntsville, Ala., have issued a formal notice of the dissolution of the corporation. Herbert S. Chase, it is said, will hereafter be the sole pro- prietor of the business, having purchased the interests of Ethan A. Chase, Charles O. Kolfe and Earl Boach, the other stock- holders. J. H. Settlemier, of Woodburn, Ore,, is critically ill with organic heart trouble. Mr. Settlemier twice represented Marion county in the legislature, but is more widely known as the owner of the Settle- mier nurseries, of Woodburn. In the nursery business Mr. Settlemier accu- mulated a fortune estimated at more than a half million dollars. Until within the last few months he has enjoyed excellent health and has been living in Portland. The nursery business in the southwest this season has enjoyed its usual boom. J. L.

The first section says that the standard barrel for apples shall be of the following dimensions: Length of stave, twenty-eight and one-half inches; diameter of head, seventeen and one- eighth inches; distance between heads, twenty-six inches; circumference of bulge, sixty-four inches outside meas- urement, representing as nearly as pos- sible seven thousand and fifty-six cubic inches."

But with the greater amount of flowers grown here and the quantities brought in by the commission men, prices must be made low in order to dispose of the stock. The last week was a record-breaker for the season for the amount of stock disposed of; the prices were corre- spondingly low and, of course, the growers are the sufferers. The retailers all seem to be doing something. Sev- eral good funerals helped to use up a good deal of fine stock, but they had no trouble securing all they wanted. Club Meeting.

Arrangements are being made for another social evening, to include our wives and sweethearts. Prof. John A. Brashear will give his lecture on flow- ers, with stereopticon views, and Mr. Brashear is famous in both this coun- try and Europe. Further information will be given later. Various Notes. A visit was made last week to the new greenhouse plant of P. S. Kandolph, at Verona, Pa. Mr. Eandolph bought a 47-acre farm, on which he has erected a bungalow, two barns, a water tower and seven greenhouses of Lord & Burn- ham construction. Six of the green- houses are each 20x110; the other is 50x200. This first season he is growing lilies, roses, hydrangeas and gardenias in pots. He is also experimenting with sweet peas and Prince of Wales violets, with which he is meeting with great success. The balance of his space is filled with azaleas, crotons and ferns. He built this place largely to give his sons, who are quite young, an oppor- tunity to demonstrate their ability to conduct such a plant, and he has reason to be proud of their success. The A. W. Smith Co. has arranged a Dutch scene in one of its large windows, using a space 20x30 feet. The back- ground is a painted Dutch scene, re- flecting credit on the artist, and the garden is planted in hyacinths and tulips; the lawn is grass which was grown in pans for the purpose, with gravel walks. The garden is surrounded by a concrete wall. As it is an un- usually large window display and the general effect is not overdone, it is attracting crowds all day long. Mike Kronis, who has the flower stand in the Union depot, has opened a new stand in the East Liberty station. Hoo-Hoo. Gustav & Julius W. Ludwig had on show at the last club meeting three beautiful obconicas. They were grown in Mr. Boggs' conservatory in Sewick- ley and were acknowledged by the growers and members of the club to be the best ever. Mr. Jones, of Schen- ley park, said they were the most beautiful primroses that he had ever seen. Each of the plants was about a year old and had no less than twenty- five clusters, each cluster bearing about ten to fifteen flowers. The sight was gorgeous and a certificate of merit was unanimously awarded. Gustav & Julius W. Ludwig are now preparing for the big Easter rush. Business in the Allegheny Market has been un- usually dull since Christmas, but busi- ness at the store has been extremely good and through all that time the en- tire force has hardly been relieved one evening out of each week. However, the last week has been a little quieter, especially in the Allegheny Market. Winter and Spring Price List Ready. Send for copy. Contains some attractive offers.

The lenten season and continued cold winter weather have made a change in business and trade is anything but brisk. Prices have dropped to en- courage the buyers and the Saturday sales have used up considerable stock. Easter plants are more in evidence, but the demand, as yet, is slight. Club Meeting. The annual banquet and election of officers of the Florists' Club was held Tuesday, March 5, and a happier crowd of 100 never gathered together. The committees in charge carried out every detail to the letter and the evening was a most enjoyable one. Speeches, pictures and music entertained the crowd from 9 p. m. till 1:15 a. m. The election was held during the evening and resulted in a clean sweep for the younger set. Wm. Grever was elected president; Edward Stroh, vice- president; Jos. Streit, treasurer; Robert Scott, secretary, and Charles Sandiford, financial secretary. Direct- ors: E. Brucker, Ed Slattery and C. Quenther. Geo. McClure presided in the absence of Mr. Kasting. Mr. Adams was chosen as toastmaster and he ably filled the bill. He gave a few short remarks on the trip to Ithaca, relative to the meeting of the State Florists' Association, and then pro- ceeded with the program of the eve- ning. Several men were called upon and the views of the different speak- ers were given regarding the flower show. Much interest is being mani- fested in this event and it will be a great disappointment to many if the show does not surpass all previous events. Mr. Gillis again kindly displayed his beautiful collection of views on the canvas. Various Notes. Wm. F. Kasting is out of the city for a short stay to regain his health. The large department store open- ings have brought heavy sales into some of the stores, as some decorations are quite elaborate. B. A. S. LAST CALL!

The market has shown a slight im- provement during the last few days. The call for stock has been brisk and several large funerals did their part in relieving the glut that has existed for the last two weeks. Good maiden- hair ferns and plumosus are scarce. There is no sale for callas at this date. Easter lilies sell in moderation. The prospects for cut stock at Easter in this locality are as follows: A scar- city of carnations, owing to the large crop that has been on for the last month; plenty of roses and of better quality than at present; a fair amount of long lilies and a larger proportion of short-stemmed ones. Sweet peas should be in heavy supply. Snapdragons will be fine in limited quantities. Bulb stock should be more than plentiful. Spanish iris, mignonette, etc., will be in moderate supply. These predictions are purely local and are based on the condition of stock noted during the last two weeks. Various Notes. There are several men in this town who, should the occasion demand, would testify that John Kirchner is a most excellent host. He proved it to the satisfaction of the eighteen florists who gathered around the festive board at his home on Quincy avenue, March 5. After the dinner the party enjoyed a few hours at cards, while mine host did himself proud presiding at the punch bowl. The committee appointed by the Flo- rists' Club to arrange the decorations at the banquet of the Chamber of In- dustry did excellent work. The whole- sale houses were more than generous in donating cut stock and several retail firms sent palms and other decorative material. The Chamber of Industry was well pleased with the generous way the florists had treated them and an- nounced that they would be ever ready to render any service that the Florists' Club desired. Among recent visitors were S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia; C. H. Hud- son, representing Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y., and John Van Leeuwen, Sassen- heim, Holland. F.

Ellsworth, of this city, is forming a corporation, to in- clude himself and D. B. Kroninger, of Emaus, with a view to greatly enlarging Mr. Kroninger 's range of greenhouses. Mr. Ellsworth is also planning to con- vert his former residence, at 320 North Sixth street, into six flats. A, B.

The greenhouses are located on Laurel street and the store at Broad and New streets. Mr. Sawyer will manage the store business and Mr. Johnson will look after the growing end of the business. Mr. Saw- yer will continue his residence and busi- ness here, devoting a portion of his time to the Bethlehem store. Chatham, Ont. — D. D.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 97 The old reliable firm, GODFREY ASCHMANN, is not connected with any other firm and is more active than ever PREPARE FOR EASTER! From whom will we purchase our Easter supply? From our old friend, GODFREY ASCHMANN, of Philadelphia, of course. He was our man of the past, and he shall be our man this Easter, and, as long as he ships us good plants, he shall be our man in the future. He always treated us right before, and we can rely upon him. What he t^vertises is true and is no bluff. What Florists Say About Our Lilies Dally visitors to our establishment say: "Yon have the best UUes we ever have seen on our Tlslts to many florists' establishments. We con- gratulate you. You certainly can be proud." An immense stock of choice Easter plants, blooming Kaster -week, or earlier, if desired, are now ready for Immediate shipment. Come your- self or mall your order direct to headquarters. Our reputation in growing Easter plants for the wholesale market, to which we ship all over the entire country, Canada and Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for many years past, is sufficient guarantee to prove our ability. Eaiter Lilies, Lilium multiflorum, the genuine Japanese Easter Lily, directly imported by us. We have a friend in Japan who looks after our interests there. He picks out for us only the good, healthy ones, and marks them while they are growing, the 10-in. bulbs, and therefore he ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan. We have lilies this year to burn; can supply, if nothing happens, every customer and others who want lilies. If you see them growing in our greenhouses you must all admit they are "cracker- Jacks." We sell them cheap, too. Where other florists get 15c per bud, we only charge you 10c per bud, for plants in 6-in. pots, having 5, 8, 10 and more buds to the plant. Plants under 5 buds, 12c per bud, 6-ln. pots. Go to Headquarters for Azaleas Azalea Indioa is a specialty with us, grown for us under contract by an Azalea specialist in Belgium for the last twenty years. Have four houses full of the choicest. Only best well- known American varieties are Imported, and are now in excellent condition, covered with buds. Just right for Easter. We ship only good stock, full of buds and flowers. What is the name of the best double pink azalea? Mme. Vander Cruyssen is the name, originated by the well-known azalea specialist Mr. Vander Cruyssen of Belgium. Millions are raised every year and shipped to every point of the globe from Belgium. We have a big stock on hand of this so well-known and favorite variety in tiptop condition. Every plant is as round as an apple, covered with buds. Just right for Easter trade, 6, 7 and 8-ln. pots, 75c, $1.00. $1.26, $1.50, $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00 each. NOTICE.— A portion of large size Mme. Vander Cruyssen must be ordered in connection with small sizes, because we were able to get only a limited amount of this variety in smaller sizes. Deutsche Ferle. This is the best pure double white, 6-in. pots, 75c. Stop makinr those soo-soo eyes! How can I help It? Aschmann's Uues look bo charmlnar. And Aschmann himself is so entrancing — That I simply can't resist; I most send him an order today. If you would know the fairest sight your eyes can ever see. Where the most perfect plants are grown, to Aschmann's come with me. Why! Ne'er since flowers began to bloom was such a glorious show Of all the best that florists need found in one place to grow. The lilies are the very best yet seen on Easter day. Azaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect in every way. The Araucarias matchless are, so are the ferns all green. With bulbs, and plumed Spiraea, the best you've ever seen. •And Aschmann gives a challenge, let every florist hear. For flowers or prices, either, no rival does he fear. If you wish to gather dollars like violets in the spring. Then send your largest order, his plants the cash will bring. Niobe, double white, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 each, vervaeneana, double variegated, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50 each. De Schryveriana (double variegated), eOc, 75c, $1.00, $1.25.

Ontario Street, XMPORTKR, WHOLBIJUJE GBOWBR AND KHIPPKR OF POT PLANTS Philadelphia, Pa, 98 The Weekly Florists^ Review* • Mabch 14, 1912. BOCHESTEB, N. T. The Market. Mild weather with a great deal of sunshine has brought flowers of all kinds into market and the prices have dropped in proportion to the surplus in stock. Carnations especially are abun- dant and cheap, while sweet peas in all colors are more than plentiful and go at a low figure. The fine spring weather has also had a quickening effect on the transient trade. For the last few weeks the surplus stock has made it almost necessary for the various florists to have special sales every Saturday to effect a clean-up. Roses, excepting Killarney, are fairly good, but Richmonds meet with little demand. Beauties are not much in de- mand during Lent, and that is fortu- nate, for they are still high in price and scarce. Gardenias are to be had no longer. Cattlej'as are much poorer than they have been, and there has been a dropping off in demand for orchids of all kinds. Violets are selling well and are cheap. A few pansies are seen now and then, but it scarcely pays to handle them as early as this in our city. Sweet peas are fine, also valley and other bulbous stock. Trade in general was good during February, even during the first week in Lent. Various Notes. J. E. McDermott, of EUwanger & Barry, has the sympathy of the trade in the loss of his son, Joseph E. Mc- Dermott, who died March 4 at his home, 98 Sanford street. Charles Sharp has left the employ of H. E. Wilson. The Richland Nurseries have put out an attractive nursery stock catalogue for spring, 1912. The Vegetable Growers' Association of America will hold its convention and exhibition here September 4 to 6. The Buffalo bowlers came down to our city February 26 to bowl the first half of a match game. They were en- tertained at dinner at the Osburn House, after which they went directly to the bowling alleys on Elm street. Our boys were victors in three straight games. The second half of the match will be bowled at a later date. Ramsford Wilson, of the Rochester Floral Co., has been suffering with a severe case of tonsilitis, but is improv- ing rapidly. Chas. Vick called a meeting of the exhibition committee March 5 to de- termine whether there would be a flower show next fall. The announce- ment of the decision will be made at the next meeting of the Florists' Asso- ciation. Ellwanger & Barry finished the propagation of 30,000 lilac plants re- cently. Fred Ahrens is the man in charge of this work. Mrs. Carrie L. Webb will erect a greenhouse at 133 Saratoga avenue in the near future. Charles A. Green, president and treasurer of Green's Nurseries, is spending the early spring in Florida. H. E. Wilson has two new clerks in his store at 88 East Main street. Arthur Zirkman, of M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia, visited us last week with his usual stock of "good" stories. F. J. Keller went to New York city and Philadelphia last week on a busi- ness trip. E. C.

The price of coal in eastern markets has advanced sharply since the English miners went on strike, affecting to a cer- tain extent the prices in the west. The miners' wage contracts with the employ- ers in this country, both east and west, expire March 31 and a general suspension of operations in April is predicted by those familiar with the situation. This means advancing prices if nothing worse, so it is important that growers have fuel for the balance of the season on hand April 1. It is almost certain to be All Fools' day for those who take chances. MORE ABOUT THAT OIL BURNER. I noticed in The Eeview of February 15, page 15, an article on "Oil for Fuel and How to Use It," by W. H. Gulp. While the brother from Kansas gives us a good idea of how to make the burner, etc., he does not say how much oil it burns per hour. I shall consider it a great favor if the Kansas gentle- man will tell us, through The Review, something about the cost and other such details. R. L. I. Besides the foregoing letter from R. Ij. 1., we have received other inquiries from several different states concerning the fuel consumption of the oil burner described in The Review of February 15. We find it hard to give complete answers at this time as to the compara- tive cost of burning oil and coal. One reason for this is the fact that this win- ter has given us more severe weather than any for several years past, and we have been compelled to crowd the al- ready overworked boiler using this burner. This we know: We are able to run a hotter fire, and get much more steam from the same boiler with this burner than was ever possible with coal for fuel, no matter how skillful or hard- working the fireman in charge. We are not able to get track facili- ties to handle oil in car lots, and we pay from $2.25 to $2.50 per hundred gallons, delivered in tank wagon lots. The Standard Oil Co. tells us that 100 gallons of this residual fuel oil which we use is equal to one ton of ordinary slack coal, but w^e believe it takes nearer 120 gallons to equal one ton of the best steam coal, which formerly cost us about $3.25 to $3.50 per ton. In our case, ashes represented an ex- pense in handling that far exceeded their value to us, and we have some other work the night man can do in- stead of being continually busy with the fires. Both of these items repre- sented an additional saving in labor. The amount of oil burned hy one of these burners will depend largely on the steam pressure behind it. A pair which will loaf along with a forty horse- power boiler, running at thirty pounds of pressure, will handle a l.jd horse- power boiler just as easily, running at NO SECTIONS EASY TO SET UP Made of Boiler Plate Absolutely Safe CANNOT CRACK Has Thin Water Ways Vertical Circulation The Lonnrest Fire Travel Heats Quick, Easy to Clean More Direct Surface than any Other Boiler Send for Cat»locae.

To figure the comparative cost of oil and coal, each grower will have to con- sider his cost of coal, cost of oil, whether his coal ashes are a nuisance or a useful commodity, the saving in labor cost, and other things which will be peculiar to his own situation. In some cases the increased capacity of the heating plant may make it possible to hook on that extra house without hav- ing to increase the now fully loaded boiler capacity. We believed the easiest way to figure it out was to go ahead and try it, which we are doing. We have previously burned natural gas and coal, and so far in this test the oil has proved the most satisfactory fuel of the three. W. H. Gulp. TWO CUCUMBES HOUSES. I am building two greenhouses, each 12x100 and eight feet to the ridge, for forcing cucumbers. I am located near Seattle, Wash., and want a night tem- perature of 60 to 62 degrees. I ex- pect to put in a hot water system. Please give me information as to the placing of the boiler so as to secure the best results. Also state the right size of the flow and return pipes, I have a ten horse-power boiler, with eighteen return flues. W. A. S. Whenever possible, the boiler should be so placed that it will be entirely below the level of the greenhouse floor, and if it can be several feet lower it will be all the better. The best way of heating the houses will be to run 2%-inch pipes upon each of the plates as flows, and connect each flow pipe at the farther end of the house with two 2-inch returns. This, of course, will give two 2^-inch flows and four 2-inch returns to each of the houses. Run a 3-inch main flow, and a return of the same size, from the boiler to each of the houses. Have the flows run downhill and connect the highest point in each flow pipe with the expan- sion tank. A NARROW HOUSE FOR ROSES. We have a range of three houses, one 20x76i/o, one 21 x 87y2 and one 11 x 87%. We are going to build another house this spring, 27^^ x 76%. We should like to know whether the small house could be used for roses, or is it too narrow and low? It is five and one-half feet high at the sides and eight and one-half feet to the ridge. We are thinking of putting a partition on both sides of this house, as all the houses are connected and the small house has a row of stationary sashes up to it, with a solid bench below. This house contains one 5-foot bench and one 3-foot bench; both are raised wooden benches, about eighteen inches high. The houses all run northeast to southwest. Would one 2% -inch flow and six 2-inch returns, three under each bench, heat the narrow house suflS- ciently for roses, and would it be all right for roses, with these changes? This house is the southeast house, or south house, as some would call it. We use hot water heat. Our location is western Indiana. W. S. K.

It performs a most important function. Its covering is a fine copper wire screen, 1600 meshes to the square inch, through which the clay is strained as the cylinder revolves. All the sand and grit is thus removed, leaving a fine smooth body; it is the same as clay is treated for dinner ware. The next operation will be described later.

The lenten season has had a marked effect on business. Violets and sweet peas came into the local market in large quantities and on fair days the street men were offering good sized bunches at little money. Killarneys, white and pink, could be had at from $3 for the poorer grades J $12 for the best. White roses, such as Bride, Ivory, etc., brought from $5 to $12 per hundred, and pink roses cost $1 more by the hundred. The newer and odd varieties of roses, Radiance, Welles- ley, Enchanter and Mrs. Taft, due to a shortage in the supply, brought better prices. There has been an exceptionally plentiful production of carnations and $5 per hundred can be considered as the top-notch price, while poor stock could be had for much less. Sweet peas could be had at the wholesale houses at any price from $2.50 to $10 per thou- sand, as never before have they been seen in this city in such large quanti- ties as now. The supply of lilies has shortened considerably, although callas are in heavy supply but small demand. Gardenias are plentiful and can bo had at from $25 down to almost nothing, but cattleyas are quite scarce and are bringing 50 to 75 cents each. The growers are all doing their utmost to bring their stock in right for the Easter business and it would seem, from the present indications, that moat of them will be successful. At this writing the lilies are in good shape and at the proper time there will be a good supply of these, as well as of hydran- geas, spiraeas, rhododendrons and lilacs. A great many of the lilies, however, will be short. Various Notes. Fred H. Kramer has just returned from a business trip to New York. Walter E. Hawley, with Gude Bros.

ALWAYS MENTION THE FLORISTS' REVIEW WHEN WRITING AOVERTISaS 130 The Weekly Florists' Review. Mabch 14, 1912. DENVER. The Market. Not for many months, and perhaps not for years, has there been anythinj^ to compare with the conditions of the last few weeks. There has been prac- tically no business, and the quantity of stock coming in has been simply appalling. The grower, as well as the retailer, has been kept busy dumping his surplus. Carnations have been brought in by the wagon load, but most of the time they could not be sold at any price. They have been offered at retail at 25 cents a dozen, but did not sell even at that figure. Tea roses are more plentiful, but the demand is so slight as to make absolutely no im- pression. There are plenty of long and short Beauties, but none of a medium grade. On account of the cold weather, corsage bouquets for street wear have been out of the question and the sale of violets has dropped off materially., The long, hard winter has had a de- pressing effect on greenhouse men. The greater part of the time since last No- vember the thermometers have regis- tered near the zero mark, and all that has been obtained from the sale of flowers, and in some instances more, has been spent for coal. Various Notes. . The last meeting of the Colorado Florists' Club, held March 4 at T. M. A. hall, was only fairly well attended^ probably on account of the extremely cold weather. In the absence of Presi- dent A. H. Bush, E. S. Kennedy pre- sided. W. Wilmore, Jr., read a paper on "Dahlias." It was found neces- sary to change the meeting place, and a committee was appointed to find one before the next meeting, which will be held April 1. Several florists have been on the sick list recently. A. H. Bush, of the Dan- iels & Fisher Stores Co., was home for a week with a slight attack of appen- dicitis. B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co., has been confined to the house for a week. Frank Eraser, of the Alpha Floral Co., has returned to work, after being out about two weeks. Milton Freeman, an employee of C. F. Maler, has the sympathy of the trade in the loss of his wife. A short time ago his little daughter was killed by a fall from a moving street car. The Elitch-Long Co. has taken a third interest in the Dutch Mill, the other members of the firm being Jane Pearse and T. C. Bennett. Additional space has been obtained, and a full line of plants has been put in. Visitors: S. Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., New York; G. Fleischer, Pueblo; D. E. Dungan, Limon; Ed.

One of the best sellers in the store Of Myers Bros., Altoona, Pa., is the basket on pedestal made up after the fashion of the design shown in the ac- companying illustration. The arrange- ment is original with Eugene S. Myers, store manager for the firm, who says it has given excellent satisfaction, espe- cially as a funeral piece for use where a number of people contribute to the purchase fund. The outline of the piece is exceedingly graceful, but the frame- work is merely an ordinary high- handled basket with a wire stand as a pedestal. The pedestal is mossed and filled with any material in season and has a solid and substantial look, while its outlines give it grace. The style of decoration and filling for the basket may be varied according to the stock available and the price secured. The basket illustrated stood five feet six inches high. The prices obtained by Myers Bros, for such arrangements have usually been from $20 to $50 when ordinary stock was used, with from $100 to as much as $200 on special orders. USE GLUTS FOE ADVERTISINa. Of course the question of how to handle a surplus must be decided by every florist according to his own con- ditions, but the way The Newburys, of Mitchell, S. D., have solved the prob- lem may be of interest. This is their description: "When we have a glut, this is the way we handle it. We send out pack- ages of flowers to those who boost for us; to the expressmen, long distance and local telephone girls, and to others that favor us, and more especially to regular customers with their orders. We fill the order as given and then add something different and put in a card reading: 'We have more than our share of flowers today and we are divid- ing with you. We appreciate and thank you for the favors you have extended us, and we hope the flowers will bring to you the same pleasure the sending of them does to us.' We think it better to do so and keep our prices up, than to cut every time we have a sur- plus. ' ' The Review will be pleased to have the opinion of other retailers on this subject. STOSE-FBOXT DECOEATIONS. Seasonable Outdoor Displays. Seasonable displays of plants out-of- doors are matters of no small concern in the spring days. Well accomplished, they attract immensely and of course sell the goods. But how to manage these shifting exhibits; how to hold them under the nose of the passer-by, but keep them from under his feet; how to have all the plants of a large collec- tion within easy reach; how to avoid spoiling the window display within — all these questions must be disposed of quickly by the busy store man. More than this — the plants just out of the greenhouse must be kept outdoors if they are to remain in salable condition. According to the space allowed by city ordinances and as much more as space permits, make the bench a double- decker, with protected edges, to keep small plants from being pulled off and soil and litter from being scattered on the sidewalk. Baskets and Window Boxes. On ordinary city fronts there is often a wall space between the windows of adjoining stores. This space can usually be obtained if the stock you propose to exhibit is in good condition and well ar- ranged. Brackets for hanging baskets might occupy these up-and-down spaces, and serve to display them and ornament the building. In mild weather and dur- ing all but the hottest summer days, these brackets may be used for display- ing fern plants, Sprengeri, etc., in wire pot hangers. If it is preferred to exhibit blooming or fancy foliage vines, put up window Basket on Pedestal, Originated by Eugene S. Myers. the friendly policeman on your beat will shut his eyes to, proceed with your plans.

These ought to sell lots of vincas, flowering ivies, vining geraniums and other such stock. If spaces are to be had on both sides of the store front, a uniform design in planting makes an attractive frame for 16 The Weekly Florists' Review* MABCa 21, 1912. the window. With some fronts a win- dow box might be arranged farther up and, if well chosen, the plants and vines might fill a long-felt vacancy so often seen in the upper part of the show win- dow. In this arrangement, do not use a plant with a pronounced color of flower, as you would often kill the color effects of the window display. Flowers of white, cream or a light tint of pink, with green and white foliage and soft greens, would be the best choice for ex- terior front decorations. A Sidewalk Pergola. If obliged to handle miscellaneous stock outside, keep warring colors widely separated. Your heliotropes and petunias may be close together, while the brilliant geraniums, marguerites and abutilons may be grouped * ' side by each. ' ' scheme, if only temporarily used, would be a good carnival decoration. If the entrance to your store retires from a level with the window front, the upper vestibule space may be used in much the same manner as the per- gola ; that is, hung with ferns and hang- ing baskets and bordered with window boxes. In Unison with One's Neighbors. It is often possible to interest all the merchants in one block on one or both sides of the street in the hanging basket and porch box decoration, so that your portion of the street shall be known by its special feature, even year after year. With a surplus of stock on hand or in sight, as the season advances or trade is not all that it might be, advance this idea to your neighboring merchants and. Show 'Window of Knoble Bret., Geveland. ^if made attractive enough, it is likely to take. A florist in a residence dis- trict might work up the same kind of a decorated block. The character of the sample decoration which you put up at your own place will have much to do with your success in extending it. The pergola and wall decorations will make a fine appearance both up and down and across the street, and beats a dozen electric signs. Another plan which would admit of a fine display is that of which a canopy in the shape of an awning, supported from above, is the principal feature. Deco- rate this after the style of the pergola. If you have a surplus of any special plant, make your entire outside display of that one thing and specialize for the day. A day for one color of geraniums, of marguerites, of salvias, of pansies, of petunias or heliotropes, could not help but attract trade your way. Well car- ried out, such a display will keep you busy in finding enough stock. G. B. THE NEW KNOBLE STORE. The accompanying illustrations afford three excellent views of the remodeled store and conservatory of Knoble Bros., 1836 West Twenty-fifth street, Cleve- land, O. The place was completely over- hauled last fall and already in the pres- ent season has demonstrated the prac- tical thoroughness of the arrangements, for the display of stock, for waiting on trade and for handling the behind-the- scenes part of the work. The Knoble store not only is in the center of the west side activity in Cleveland, and recognized as one of the most attractive in the city, but it is known far and wide for its three- dollar spray. The Knobles are firm be- lievers in advertising — they advertise in season and out of season, and when there is nothing else they would rather advertise, they advertise the three- dollar spray of carnations. It is re- markable the number of them they sell. Jt is said to run from three or four to a dozen or twenty a day, sometimes a great many more than that. And, on the average, they nearly double their For displaying considerably more out- side stock a pergola may be added, ex- tending from the building to the edge of the sidewalk. Baskets and ferns may be suspended from the corner posts next to the street, without interfering with the window. According to the season of the year and the special occasions, change the decoration of the pergola. Just now, as we are concerned with the spring displays, schemes for showing blooming plants are in order. A group of hang- ing baskets, of different sizes and lengths of wire, may be fastened at the two outside upper corners of the per- gola. A number of others can be hung on rather short wires from different points under the roof timbers. Win- dow boxes around the three edges will complete the upper decoration. A clus- ter of blooming plants— for example, lilies, rhododendrons, hydrangeas or spirseas — may be arranged at the base of each of the outside timbers on the curb. The pergola should be painted or stained to harmonize with the exterior finish of the building. For holiday or evening specials, the whole thing may be decorated with shaded lights.

A large number of the orders come by telephone, but the offer of the cheap spray is the means of calling in a steady stream of people who never before have visited the store. A FLOWER FOR EACH MONTH.

The Formosa lily bulbs have proved to be an excellent addition to the sup- ply, especially for early flowering. The well ripened bulbs not only can be brought into bloom at double quick, but the stock is free from disease. Appar- ently only two things are the matter with the Formosa bulbs — there are not enough of them and they are a little A Giant Formosa Lily. bit erratic in the matter of development; the crop is not so easy to get in all at once and the plants are inclined to vary a good deal in height. There is none of the kind that flowers with too short a stem to be salable; on the other hand, a good many are unneces- sarily tall. Now and then one shoots far above its fellows and becomes quite a curiosity, like the one shown in the accompanying illustration. The photo- graph reached The Review from A. Henderson & Co., who received it from G. Young & Sons Co., St. Louis, to whom Henderson & Co. had supplied the bulbs. One plant of the lot shot up to six feet eight inches. It carried eight flowers. The picture shows how the lily towered above the ice-box in the store. A roll of crepe paper was used for a background. As an adver- tisement it was a tremendous success, attracting wide attention. PALM LEAVES TURN BROWN. I should like to know what makes the leaves of palms turn brown and roll up, like the enclosed sample. F. D.' Palm leaves usually turn brown at their ends if they have had one or two bad dryings out at the roots. They must never be allowed to become dry at the root. Furthermore, they should be given a warm, moist house, should be freely syringed and not be exposed to direct sunshine. C. W. Andover, Mass. — Plans are already well under way for the 1912 flower show, to be held in the town hall Sep- tember 6 and 7, under the auspices of the Andover Florists' and Gardeners' Club and some other societies. J. H. Playdon is chairman of the committee in charge. 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ ^fl Mabch 21, 1912. 3i:^3^^=3C 3C iSL^^^o^i^sJSc 3C •" 11—11- CHICAGO'S FIRST ! SPRING SHOW cc ac 3C A HIT WITH THE PUBLIC. Demonstration of Decorative Values. Although the spring show at Chicago shared the financial fate of the ex- hibitions held in other cities last autumn, the success from the view- point of the public was beyond ques- tion and, if there is value in educating the people in the use of plants and flowers, as we all believe, the Horticul- tural Society and the two score ex- hibitors who .gave their support are entitled to full measure of credit for a demonstration of decorative possibili- ties and values that attracted more people than have attended any other flower show held in Chicago. The roses were rearranged the second day and made a wonderful display. The big vases of 100 blooms were broken up into smaller vases and these grouped, getting a much better effect. As the flowers opened they made a showing that gave many of the visitors an en- tirely new conception of modern roses. The show was enlarged, also, by the ad- dition of a number of new vases, from Peter Reinberg, W. E. Trimble Green- house Co., and others. Hunt Bros., Park Ridge, 111., staged a group that attracted much attention. In it were antirrhinums and stocks in several colors, sweet peas, Pink Beauty lupine, mignonette, calendulas, Shasta and African daisies. G. Swenson, Elmhurst, HI., set up a vase of winter-flowering type of Spencer sweet pea that the growers all thought an important addition to the list of money-makers. Schiller the Florist staged several groups of decorative plants, maintained an admirably arranged large basket of roses, several brides' bouquets and a bride's muff that made a hit with the ladies. One of the aids in making the show the success that it was, from the point of view of the public, was the stock from Lincoln park, which was scattered through the rooms in effective groups. The Carnations. It' was in the carnation classes that the only real competition of the show was witnessed, and here it was about as keen as ever is seen, even in the most successful exhibitions of the American Carnation Society, there being fourteen vases of 100 blooms each staged in the class of standard whites, with eight entries for red, seven for light pink, six for flesh pink and five for dark pink. Of course, with fourteen vases staged, one or two of the exhibitors got their eyes opened, but in general the stock was exceptionally good.

The experimental work on fertilizers has been caried on by Mr. Nehrling and the writer. Mr. Nehrling for the last two years has bi-en in charge of the greater jiortion of the experimental wink. The rei)ort on the following work, then, is to be considered as a ioiiit report with Mr. Nehrling. Carnation Experiment. The experiment with commercial fer- tilizers in the growing of carnations may be di\ ided into three sections. The work in one house is a repetition of the work carried on for the last two ye.ais.

The work in this ji.art of the experi- ment is a duplication of the work of IHOP-M and liUn-ll. This duplication is necessary, for in all experimental work of this tyjio it is necessary to rejieat the work for three or four \cars bid'ore any definite conclusions can be drawn. The report upon this part of the work will be brief, as a circular is now in j)reparation and it is hoped that it will be ready for distri- bution this spring. During the season of I009-10 records were taken on -17,7-9 carnations, and during 1910-11 on 12,425. This data must be studied and many tables con- structed for comparison. The Object. The object of the exj)eriment is to dcdermine whether as good or better carnations can be grown with the use of commercial fertilizers instead of natural manures. It must be kept in mind that humus is necessary in all soils for the best results, and so all manure cannot be dispensed with un- less the humus is apjilied in some other form. This humus is necessary for the develo[)ment of the bacteria which help to make available the nutritive sub- st.ances in tln^ soil. l''or the exjieriment :i small tpiantity of manure was used to sup])ly this necessary humus. l!y juevious experiments it was de- cidi (1 that the best commercial fertili- zers to supi)ly the needed elements were driiMl blood and ammonium sulphate for nitrogen, acid phosphate for phos- |)liorus and jiotassium sulphate for po- tassium. In th« experiment these were ai)plied to all but the control sections, in order to determine if possible in what proportion they are best suited to the carnation. For the experiment the following aiiKninis of fertilizer wore selected as nuits of application: Di-icl hlced, 2 Ilis. |ici- leo sq. fl. liciicli. .soil •". ill. deep. .\in. sliliiliMlc.

Dried blood was used for the nitrogen except in a few sections, where ammonium sulphate was used in its ]dace. The control sections had the same amount of manure, but no commercial fertilizers. The commercial fertilizers in the other sections were doubled and quad- rujded singly, in jiairs and all together. This. tluMi. gave coml)inations of vary- ing airiounts for the study of the quan- tity of each necessary. The Cut. The varieties originally selected for this work were White Perfection, Bea- con, I'^nchantress and Winsor. Winsor was discarded at the end of the second year, on account of the excessive amount of stem-rot. It was replaced by White iMichantress, which does not appear in the tables, as it was used for the comi>arison of the commercial fertilizers and natural manures. The following table shows the entire cut by varieties for the two years and also the average number of flowers per plant. These numbers are not as great as they would be if all the plants were under the best possible cultural con- ditions. MAic. 11 Jl, liU'J.

We plant them in flats, fairly close, and then leave them in the greenhouse in a temperature of about 60 degrees. A slightly higher temperature does not harm them; 45 degrees is too cold and they will blast at 30 degrees. We never water any of our bulbs with ice-cold water, but keep a few barrels filled; it pays. This winter, being in a hurry one January day, I watered a batch of tulips with ice- cold water from the hose, and every one of them blasted. Cold weather or frost does not hurt a bulb until it starts to grow; after that it pays to keep them growing. Use water from which the chill has been removed. Give liquid manure twice a week, about the color of brandy. One must always re- member that success cannot be achieved without work. Fred Clark. NO FREESIAS AND FEW LILIES. We noticed in The Review of March 7, page 21, an inquiry under the head of "Freesias Not Flowering," and we have some of the same experience to report. Our freesias made a fine start after being planted in 4-inch pots and they duly developed a splendid growth, attaining a height of fourteen to six- teen inches, but never a flower! The soil was a fine, sandy compost, con- taining plenty of humus, and excellent hyacinths, daffodils, etc., were grown in the same soil. Our Formosa lilies also seemed to be 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Mabch 21, 1912. quite erratic, only about one-sixth of them blooming; the few flowers we got were beautiful. They all made a start and they were all planted at the same time, with conditions precisely alike. Some of them grew two inches and then stopped; others grew six or eight inches and stopped. Those which bloomed made fine plants, averaging eighteen inches tall. Can any reader of The Eeview tell us the reason for the trouble? G. G. & S. HYACINTHS DOING POORLY. I am sending you, under separate cover, three hyacinth bulbs. Any in- formation as to what is wrong with them will be greatly appreciated. The hyacinths were planted in October in flats and buried in about eight inches of soil. Early in November we had severe weather and upon examining is no removal of snow, straw coverings or frozen earth necessary before they can be removea. Another year see if you cannot find space in a cellar for your Dutch bulbs and ycu will save yourself labor and have first-class bulbs which the frost cannot injure. C. W. ASTER BEETLES. I have been much troubled with the yellows among asters on clay ground, losing an average of one-third of the crop. I tried a light sprinkling of lime on clay ground, working it in before planting. As a result, the disease was confined to about five per cent of the crop. There are some in the trade offering prepared lime for florists' use, and I presume it would be worth while for those who grow in quantity to give the lime a trial. Of course, plenty of View of Farquhar's Italian Garden. manure is necessary for asters in every case, but, needless to say, it should be well rotted. Above all other flower crops, asters need a change of soil every season. In all that is written on the aster, no one seems to tell us the cheapest and best way to get rid of the black bug that gives so much trouble late in the season. E. F. Where a few plants only are grown, hand-picking for the aster beetle is usually resorted to, but this is impos- sible where large batches are grown. I find that the best remedy, and one which never fails to work satisfactorily, is to spray the plants with Paris green and water, at the rate of one ounce to fifteen gallons of water. A little lime added to the water lessens the danger of burning the flowers or foliage. Do not spray during bright sunshine. Al- ways use a fine spray nozzle and be sure, especially, to wet every flower. The beetles will not trouble you after one good spraying. The Paris green may slightly color the white flowers, but dip them in a pail or tub of water and they will lose all trace of it. Arsenate of lead can not be used, as it whitens the foliage and spoils colored flowers. C. W. FARQUHAR'S ITALIAN GARDEN. Horticultural hall, in Boston, surely never presented a more beautiful and better furnished appearance than when the doors were thrown open March 15 for a view of the elaborate and taste- fully arranged Italian garden which occupies the entire main exhibition hall and loggia. Work on this mammoth undertaking has been in progress for about a month. The structural work was in itself a big task, as a wide bal- cony has been built, which, entered from the loggia, goes around the en- tire hall except where the musicians' gallery is located. On the outer side of the balcony is a balustrade covered with a beautiful arrangement of flowering plants and vines, while at the back is a towering mass of evergreens and deciduous flowering shrubs, among them found that they had made good roots but were frozen solid. We then set them in a cold house, covering them lightly. The weather became more se- vere and froze them harder. We then took them into a house at 45 degrees and buried them about six inches deep under a bench, which has no radiation under it. You can see by sample in what condition they came out. Did the freezing do the harm? S. C. The two hard freezings to which the hyacinths were subjected were undoubt- edly the principal reason for the failure. They will withstand severe freezings outdoors and come through all right if well mulched, but in flats or pans it is otherwise. It is still a common practice to bury bulbs outdoors, cover with soil and later protect them with straw, leaves, boards and other material. While bulbs thus treated do well, it is often a disagreeable matter to get them out in winter, and many of the most up-to-date growers, at least in the colder states, now stand all their bulbs in cel- lars which are frostproof, or nearly so, without the use of fire heat. Stock of just as fine quality can be grown from bulbs stored in this way. They are readily accessible at all times and there Another View of Farqahar's Italian Garden. MABCH 21. 1912. The Weddy Fkwfets' Review. 36 General View of the Italian Garden in Hortkultural Hall, Boston, Mass. which large numbers of splendidly flow- ered forsythias, ten to twelve feet high, are notable. At the extreme end of the hall an immense painting of an Italian villa, with cypresses and other necessary settings, rises to the top of the hall, and, on either side, the great banks of growing trees and shrubs are BO effectively grouped that it is hard to tell where the living trees end and the painting begins. At one end of the balcony, running parallel with the stairs, is a stepped balustrade of drip- ping water falling down shell-like troughs into one of the many pools on the floor of the hall. Around the hall, including the steps leading from the loggia, are a number of statues quite recently imported from Italy and loaned for this occasion, in- cluding life-sized figures of men and women symbolic of horticulture, and various animals, including lions, wolves, horses and bulls in combat. Thousands upon thousands of pots, pans and boxes of flowering and foliage plants were necessary to give the desired floral display. Immense numbers of tulips, both early and Darwin varieties; hya- cinths, narcissi. Primula vulgaris. Primula obconica, schizanthus. Azalea Keempferi, EUiottiana and Godfrey callas, Lilium candidum and the newer L. myriophyllum, Lorraine begonias, cyclamens. Daphne cneorum, acacias, marguerites, Tfistarias, clivias, amaryl- lis, lilacs, liif of the valley, kerrias, roses and other blooming plants were used, while vines in greilt" numbers, cedars, bays, boxes and other ever- gr«ei|fiai in hundreds^ wer« needed. Air €^ctrical fountain facing the log- gia, with ever changing lights, was quite an attraction, and several other fountains were playing in the various pools of water. The lights were so arranged around the sides of the bal- cony and elsewhere as to give the best possible effect, and under artificial light the scene was simply enchanting. All of this immense undertaking was carried out by the firm of E. & J. Farquhar & Co. James Farquhar worked like a veritable Trojan through- out, and both he and his Irrother, John, richly deserve the many encomiums heaped upon them, for this is unques- tionably the biggest individual horti- cultural exhibit ever put up in Amer- ica, and we doubt if even in Europe it has been surpassed. This exhibition will be open until March 31, and all proceeds will go to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society to form the nu- cleus of a fund for the reconstruction of Horticultural hall. The Japanese garden, constructed three years ago and run in conjunction with the spring flower show, netted the society $5,000 and from the way the public is visiting this much bigger exhibit, a handsome sum will be cleared. W. N. C. VALUE OF DAHLIA CUTTINGS. Could you please give me some in- formation in regard to what it is worth to root dahlia cuttings? The party is to furnish the tubers, and I to take cut- tings and root them. Any information in regard to this will be thankfully received. T. H. It is worth more to root dahlias than geraniums, chrysanthemums or cartia- tions. You should get $3 per hundred for all rooted cuttings, and when the likelihood of considerable numbers damping off is considered, this price is a moderate one. W. C. A POOE HYACINTH CROP. Will you kindly inform us what to do for hyacinths, to make them bloom more heavily? We potted them in October in good, rich hotbed soil and put them in a dark basement, and have been taking them out since the first part of February. The blooms seem to be too scattering on the stalk. The temperature in the house has been about 50 degrees in the daytime and 48 degrees at night. Do you think it the fault of the bulbs or have we not handled them right f L. A, Tj, & S. If by hotbed soil you mean the de- cayed manure from the beds, you have been using compost which is a little too strong for your bulbs. If you had taken two-thirds loam, one-third of the thoroughly decayed hotbed manure and a good dash of sharp sand, you would have had an excellent soil for hyacinths. Bulbs planted in October should, in proper compost and with the right treat- ment, flower weU. Are you sure they had plenty of water! Did you cover them with cinders, and were they stand- ing where they could get any drying heat from a furnace? They should have a cellar or basement which is cool and where no fire heat is used. In a warm cellar they would do unsatis- factorily. Your soil may be at fault, you may have given insufficient water, or you may have kept them too warm. Perhaps all three causes may have com- bined to cause the failure. C. W. 26 The Weekly Florists' Review. M^CH 21, 1912. A FOEMULA FOK THRIPS. "What is a good method of keeping thrips off carnations after planting them outdoors? Some time ago the following was recommended to me for thrips, for inside use: One pound of Paris green, one pound of brown sugar and twenty gallons of water. Isn't this pretty strong? Was 200 gallons of water intended? R. E. M. The formula recommended to you is correct and, if applied with a very fine spray, will not injure your plants. Be sure that the solution is even, as the Paris green does not mix with water readily. The brown sugar will help to do that, however. A, F. J, B. FIT FOB PROPAGATION? Today I am sending you some shoots of carnations and should like to know whether they are affected with stig- monose. If so, are they too much af- fected to be propagated from ? S. H. The specimens forwarded were slight- ly affected with stigmonose, but unless the growth shows more than these shoots do, I would not hesitate to propagate from the plants, avoiding those which show more spots than others. If you can get enough shoots which are entirely free from these spots, it will, of course, be wise to use them. It is getting a trifle late to put in carnation cuttings for best re- sults, but if the cuttings are strong and they receive proper care, they will make fair stock. I do not know what variety these specimens are, but if you bought new stock you would probably get cuttings with as much or more of this disease in them than yours have. It is almost impossible to find any con- siderable amount of stock of a few of the older varieties which is entirely free from this disease. A. F. J. B. STIGMONOSE AND FAIEY RING. Under separate cover I am mailing you samples of Lady Bountiful stems, which are affected with disease. There seem to be two different diseases. Please tell whether I am correct or not. I call one a fungous disease and the other bacteria. Any information will be greatly appreciated. F. A. C. There are two distinct diseases on the specimens forwarded, namely, stig- monose and fairy ring. The fairy ring is a fungous disease and will need vig- orous action without delay, or you will suffer great damage from it. Spray your plants heavily with Bordeaux mixture, after first picking off all the affected leaves. After a week wash them off with the hose, and apply an- other dose as soon as the plants have dried off somewhat. The stigmonose you can eradicate only through the se- lection of your cuttings. Take only such as show no traces of these light spots and in a few seasons you will have your stock clean, providing you keep a\^ay the same agents that intro- duced the disease this time. A. F. J. B. INSECT APPARENTLY HARMLESS. On the soil in my benches and pots I find hundreds of small ' ' hoppers ' ' of a dark slate color. They are about the size of thrips, but plumper and wing- less. The eggs seem to be at the sur- face of the soil. The microscope does not reveal any punctures in the plants. Fumigation does not seem to affect them. What are they and are they in- jurious? They are most abundant where the soil contains the most manure. R. E. M. I am not acquainted with the insects which you describe. If you can see no damage done by them, I would not worry over their presence. Possibly a dressing of pulverized tobacco would destroy them. A. F. J. B. STIGMONOSE. Knowing that you answer questions for those who are in trouble, I am tak- ing the liberty of sending you some leaves of Enchantress carnations. You will see they are dried up at the ends. I can not find any red spider, but I do see an occasional green fly. It seems to me, however, that the green flies would have to be quite plentiful to cause this trouble, as it appears here and there all over two benches in one house. This house is 20x100, three- quarter span, with the long span to the south. It is five feet high to the gut- ters, and boarded. The ventilators are hinged to the ridge, and on bright days they could not be opened wide enough on account of drafts, so the temperature would sometimes run to 75 or 80 de- grees. The soil is a clay loam, mixed with rotted cow manure, and was mulched with rotted cow manure about February 15. H. G. A. stock as to whether you can safely propagate from it for next season. When the tip of a leaf dries up, it is because the disease has spread across the entire breadth of the leaf and shut off the sap from the end of the leaf. The green fly is most likely the agent which inoculated the plants with the disease. A. F, J. B. DETERIORATION OF STOCK. I am sending under separate cover three Bassett carnations and one White Lawson. Why do about one-third of the blooms in the Bassett bench come striped and of poor color, like the sample? Would too much radiation under this bench, necessitating heavy watering, cause this? If so, does the dryness or the moisture cause the poor color? The- soil is the same as on other benches in the same house, where the stock is doing finely. We keep the temperature at 48 to 52 de- grees at night and ventilate freely during warm days. We gave the Bas- setts some soot, with no effect. Among our White Lawson, White Enchant- ress and White Perfection we have,, however, about one bloom in fifty af- fected in the same way as this one. The outside petals seem to be soft and of no substance, drying up before the rest of the flower matures. The carna- tion does not close up, as in the case of thrips. We have examined them closely and can find no cause. L. A. H. The specimens were affected with stigmonose, and it is just a question of how much stigmonose there is in your The specimens forwarded did not reach me, but from your description of your trouble I judge that it is caused by deterioration of the variety. O. P. Bassett is quite susceptible to stig- monose, and we found the same trouble with it when we grew it. Unless the variety does better with you in the way of freedom in flowering than with most of the growers who tried it, I would advise you to discard it and get a better one. A. F. J. B. DISEASE STUDIES AT URBANA. [A paper by W. H. Anderson, assistant In^ ftoi-icultural pathology at the Illinois Experiment Station, continued from The Review of March 14.] A Disease of Enchantress. One disease, the cause of which is not yet known, has been especially de- structive to the foliage of the Pink Enchantress in the station greenhouse. On the leaves of many of these plants pale green areas, circular in form, vary- ing from 1/16-inch to ^-inch, were first observed some weeks ago. These areas became more sharply defined and turned to a yellowish green and finally to a Mahcu 21, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 27 yellow color. They also enlarged and elongated. The epidermis over the younger spots remained unbroken and the leaf was normal, but later the tis- sue beneath these areas collapsed and soon the epidermis became yellow and broken. As a result of these many diseased areas, the leaf often wilted and shriveled up. At first this was thought to be the disease known as "stigmonose" or "bacteriose," but samples of the plant sent to the au- thority who worked out the cause of the above disease, brought the answer that it was not the same disease. Fur- ther observation on these plants reveal the fact that many of them had been attacked by red spider, but whether this was the cause of this peculiar disease or not we will not attempt to say at this time. We attempted to transfer this disease to other plants, but failed. No fungus or bacterium could be found associated with it. Cut- tings from plants so affected died be- fore they had a chance to form roots. Another disease sent me by a well known florist has been received from two other sources since. The carna- tion plants suffering from this disease have an unusually large stem from the branches down and there are often swellings or tumors — rough, wart-like bodies arising from the stem near the surface of the ground. These tumors remind one of the galls in the disease known as the crown gall. But not all plants have these galls, although af- fected by this disease. The roots of these plants are unusually large and stalky, but when broken they reveal a brown rotted area in the center which extends from the end of the roots up to the main stem. A cross section of the stem also shows a brown rotted area beneath the bark and often ex- tending well into the wood of the stem. The cause of this disease was not de- termined, since at the time of receiv- ing these specimens our laboratory was not yet equipped with apparatus neces- sary for this sort of work. Material Wanted for Study. The two diseases of carnations given above are of especial interest to us, since they have never been described, and they may later become of great economic importance to the carnation growers of the state. For this reason we would appreciate material or in- formation concerning these troubles. Especially would we like some plants sent to us suffering from either of the above diseases.

Diseases of various other plants have been given attention in our laboratory, but for the most part these have been either local or well known diseases, and we have answered inquiries con- cerning them by letter. A disease of palm (Kentia Belmoreana), due to a fungus called Gloeosporium, which caused a rotting oflf of the plant at the surface of the ground, was of especial interest. Our laboratory is now fully equipped and we desire material of all sorts from the florists of the state. Our desire is to become acquainted with your troubles, and although we cannot prom- ise instant relief we hope to be able to give you definite information upon which you can depend. All material sent to us should be packed in the same manner you would prepare cut flowers for shipment. We concern our- selves only with diseases due to fung- ous attacks, but plants will be exam- ined and if we believe the trouble is due to insects we will place the mate- rial in the hands of the entomologist, who will answer your inquiries.

AN INDIANA PLANT. The middle west is becoming thickly dotted with prosperous establishments of moderate size, catering to the whole- sale and retail demand, a typical one of these being shown in the accompanying illustrations. This is the range of the Dille Floral Co., of Greensburg, Ind. The business was built up through the joint efforts of J. L. Dille and his wife, but Mrs. Dille died February 3, leaving Mr. Dille not only with the care of the plant but also with two small children. A married daughter, Mrs. Max Bardoch, lives at 1306 Granville avenue, Chicago. The range consists of four up-to-date houses each 27x145, a violet house on the north 6x75, and a propagating house. The range is heated by a No. 13 Kroe- schell boiler with the threaded boiler tube system of piping and a generator to put the water under pressure. The property, which directly adjoins the city limits, consists of twenty acres of fine soil. The principal crop is carnations, with a few roses, violets and some early mums. In the interior view of one of the houses Mr. Dille is seen in the center walk. At the left is W. C. Konzelman, the grower, and in front of him is his son. Evert Konzelman. At the right of Mr. Dille is F. Brightbill, who looks the part. The Establishment of the Dille Floral Co^ Greensburg, Ind. The Weekly Florists' Review. Mabch 21, 1012. ac 3C ac ac 1 J f SEASONABLE 3^ SUGGESTIONS k UCd ac Marguerites. Few plants require a larger supply of water than marguerites. Several waterings daily are necessary to keep them fresh. One good drying out means the loss of many flowers. On the other hand, be careful if you use saucers under your plants not to allow them to become water-logged or the foliage will speedily become golden. There are few better Easter plants than marguerites. It is true they need considerable bench space to do them justice, and watering can never be neglected, but they are easily grown plants, decorative and last exceptionally well in dwelling houses. The new double white marguerite, Mrs. Sander, when it really comes double, is fine. The flowers resemble a good double pyrethrum, but a large propor- tion come single. Personally, however, I think the singles are an improvement on Queen Alexandra and make splendid Easter plants. If it were only possi- ble to grow the yellow varieties as easily, and if they made as symmetrical plants as the white varieties, they would have a great sale. As a rule, however, they do not produce shapely plants and are better adapted for cut- ting than for forcing into salable plants. Any late rooted stock should not be left in the cutting bench or in small pots too long. These will sell well at the bedding out season, and even if all are not sold then they can be planted outdoors and will make fine, bushy plants for lifting in the fall. Dutch Bulbs for Easter. All the Dutch bulbs should have been housed before this time. Much de- pends upon the weather in forcing this class of stock. It is, of course, better grown in a cool house, as it is then so much more stocky, but with a cold, dark spell, such as not infrequently oc- curs near Easter, some additional heat may be necessary. Many letters have come to hand of late describing bulbs plunged outdoors as doing poorly. The trouble has been that the severe frost has penetrated through coverings which it was imagined would be impervious, with the result that numerous batches have been frozen solid and either de- stroyed altogether or seriously injured. This plunging of bulbs outdoors may answer well when the winter is mild in the northern states, and may do nicely for the warmer states, but when the labor involved is considered, the trouble of digging out the stock in winter and the danger of losing a lot of it from frost, it is a wonder that any up-to-date growers can be found who will persist in carrying out what is largely an obsolete practice. Use a cellar without fire heat for the same bulbs and they will do just as well, can be retarded as late and are always ^et-at-able. Easter Lilies. March has given us some good sun- shine, with more genial temperatures than we sometimes get, and lilies, in common with other plants, have come on quickly of late. Any with flowers opening must be kept quite cool. Those with buds showing white will also want to be held back a little, but those on which the buds are still green are a trifle late and must be hurried. Do not spare the fire heat and moisture on these laggards; 70 to 75 degrees at night is not too warm and the house can be clqsed early in the afternoon and the plants kept well sprayed. This sweat- ing culture will soon open a lot of flowers. Kemove the plants to cooler quarters when, the first two flowers open. Be sure to keep the pollen masses removed, or, when syringing, the flowers will be much discolored. The best plan is to go over the plants once a day and remove the pollen wherever found. Made up Lilies. There are calls for pans and large pots of Easter lilies containing several stalks each. If these have not yet been made up, now is the time to do it, al- ways selecting stalks carrying buds which will open simultaneously. If plants are tall, they must be staked. In fact, it is not safe to leave any lilies unsupported except the dwarf ones. Always use green painted stakes and do not tie them with white twine or even common raffia if you have green raffia. Don't be afraid to shake the soil off the roots when making up the lilies. Preserve, however, as many roots as you can and be sure to thor- oughlj' soak the soil after potting. Bhododendrons. Rhododendrons open more rapidily than azaleas and when the trusses have their first flowers open they should be given a cool house in which to expand. Discontinue syringing when the flow- ers start to expand and be sure to al- ways give the plants an adequate water supply. For the last few years Pink Pearl and White Pearl have brought fancy prices. They are cer- tainly magnificent varieties and at the high class stores they always sell out quickly. Considering what the plants cost, there is not any too much profit in retailing them at $5 each, while the more everyday sorts can be sold at half this figure. Lily of the Valley. In the way of small plants, lily of the valley in pots or pans is one of the most popular at Easter. In order to have it in good condition the pips should not be kept in the dark too long. The long, weak, spindling speci- mens almost devoid of foliage none want, but plants plentifully clothed with rich, dark leaves will sell on sight. Give the plants a brisk heat, but near the light, until the flowers are partially expanded. Then place them in a house 10 degrees cooler. This will make the foliage and flowers stiflfer and there will not be that wilting which is char- acteristic of the hard forced article. For cutting, the pips can be kept in the dark longer, but always admit more light after the flowers start to open or the foliage will be scant and the flower spikes will not stand up. Under benches is not the proper place to force valley. It may be all right to get the pips over the heating pipes, but either lift them to a lighter position in which to open, or better still, keep them up on a bench, where, while they can be darkened in the early stages of growth, they will have good light when it is really needed. A HOUSE OF LILIES. The accompanying illustration is pre- pared from a photograph taken March 12 at the establishment of Godfrey Aschmann, Philadelphia. The lilies are all of the multiflorum type, especially selected stock. They are perfectly healthy, of good height, and average five flowers to the plant. The house when photographed contained 4,000 plants. Phil. The Aschmann Family in a Lily House. l/' ^ , '■ Mabch 21, 1012. The Weekly Florists' Review. 29 Gravity Soil Carrier in Use in the Greenhouses of Peirce Bros., Waltham, Mass. TUBNINO WASTE TO PEOFIT. In the language of the epigrammatist, there is none so wise or capable that his equal or superior may not be found. Hence it is fair to assume that there is no process of the world's work so perfect that it cannot be improved upon. Every avenue of industry has gone through its various stages of evo- lution from primitive methods to the highest exemplification of mechanical labor-saving devices. This is an age of close investigation into matters touch- ing men and methods; of searching, watching and probing; of instant ap- plication of means for reducing produc- tive costs and increasing profits. This condition is the result of a gradual de- velopment under our competitive busi- ness system, wherein all of us are strain- ing to escape the fate of the ninety-five per cent who fail. Fortunes are made and lost every year in experimenting, having for its object the providing (ft short-cuts and quick-cuts, if we may use the term, be- tween raw material and finished prod- uct. The elimination of human hands, skill and brains is being rapidly accom- plished in all industrial pursuits, being replaced wherever possible by mechan- ical processes ranging from simple de- vices to complicated machinery of mar- velous capacity. Edward Mott Wool- ley, in a recent number of System, has a highly instructive article on "The Wanton Waste of Labor," in which he calls attention to flagrant violation of accepted business ethics and points out how thousands .of dollars annually could be saved by wfcfpting mechanical means in many of our most important indus- tries, in which the human «quatioii 16 still an expensive and time-consuming factor. yTost as an illustration of how the florist may participate in the benefits of inventive activity, a picture is shown which nearly tells its own story. The device illustrated is known as the Math- ews gravity soil carrier. Its function is to furnish a quicker and cheaper method of changing the soil in green- house benches. The carrier consists of ball-bearing steel rollers made of seam- less steel tubing, the rollers being as- /fiembled in a rigidly braced steel frame, the frames being of a length easily handled. The photograph was taken in the greenhouses of Peirce Bros., Wal- tham, Mass., who, in reply to a letter from The Review asking how the ap- paratus works, write as follows: "We can say that this device has been found extremely satisfactory by us for remov- ing soil from houses that can be opened at the sides. It is made in suitable lengths to be easily handled in moving from one place to another, is all ball- bearing and requires only the raising of one end to convey boxes full of soil to the outside of the house without han- dling, being carried by gravity. For a number of years we used a similar de- vice with wood rollers, but must say that the ball-bearings and light though rigid construction of our present apparatus make it a much more satisfactory ma- chine for the reduction of labor. We find it thoroughly practical and that it pays for itself many times over in its saving of labor." The work of emptying and refilling the benches is the most laborious in the whole round of greenhouse operations and the big growers have tried a num- ber of mechanical conveyors without finding anything heretofore that was sufficiently practical to be continued long in use. Hence the special interest that attaches to the Peirce use of the simple gravity device. OEBANIUMS FOB MEMOBIAL DAT. I have some geraniums that are com- ing in bloom. When shall I quit taking buds in order to have nice blooms for Memorial dayt . L. C. Keep the flower trusses picked off your geraniums until five weeks before Memorial day. Give them a feeding with liquid manure or apply a little fine bone to the surface of the pots if they have the pots well filled with roots. The bone is excellent for pro- moting a short, stocky growth, pro- ductive of flowers rather than foliage. Apply a little once a fortnight to plants which require some feeding. C. W. OEEANIUM STOCK PLANTS. I have 700 geraniups planted in the bench, from which I hSve taken cut- tings this winter. Now I wish to use the bench and I wish to know what I i. 30 The Weekly Florists' Review* March 21, 1912. should do with the plants. I have been thinking of taking them up, packing them in boxes and storing them in a light cellar until time to plant them out and use them for cuttings this fall. G. L, E. You could lift the stock plants, plant them in boxes and store them in a cool greenhouse or light cellar; or, better still, you could pot them singly. The latter plan would be much the better, as by using pots of moderate size and keeping the plants a few weeks in a greenhouse they would become nicely established and could then be moved to a coldframe to be gradually hardened off. If you do not care to go to the trouble of potting each off, you can adopt the boxing plan, but if you can spare a place for them in a cool house for a short time it would be a decided advantage. C. W. DISEASED FOLIAQE. Kindly tell me what the white dis- ease is on the edge of the enclosed leaves. Please state also the cause and remedy. A. E. B. The geranium leaf was attacked by a fungoid growth not uncommon at this season. Keep water off the foliage as much as you can, pick off affected leaves, keep the plants well spaced and run them a little drier at the root. A dry and airy atmosphere, with plenty of sun, is what the plants need. On the cyclamen and other leaves I could not detect any disease, but I noticed quite a few white flies on them. You should try to exterminate this pest, or it will speedily ruin much of your stock. Hy- drocyanic acid gas, used as often rec- ommended in The Review, is the only sure remedy for it. Choose a cool night for the operation, and, as this is a dead- ly gas, use the greatest caution when applying it. C. W. GERANIUM LEAVES TUEN EED. I should like to know what causes geranium leaves to turn red, like the enclosed sample. " "^ F. D. The most likely causes for the foliage' turning red on geraniums are an inade- quate water supply and lack of food in the soil. Some varieties, however, seem naturally to put on these autumnal foliage tints in winter and it is not always caused by either too little water or lack of feeding. C. W. DAISIES FOR THE GREENHOUSE. • Is there any kind of daisy that can be grown in the greenhouse? C. G. P. The word daisy, as a popular name, is applied more or less to quite a num- ber of plants. The white and yellow marguerites are often called daisies and have the greatest commercial value of any of their class of flowers. Arti- cles dealing on their culture appear from time to time in the columns of The Review. There are now both sin- gle and double forms of marguerites. The little double daisies which flower in spring, and are used in cemeteries and for spring bedding, can be grown in a cold greenhouse with pansies and violets. They are usually carried over, however, in coldframes. The Barber- ton daisy or gerbera and the newer dimorphothecas, also called South Af- rican daisies, are other representatives which are grown commercially in a moderate way; also various forms of Chrysanthemum maximum, commonly known as the Shasta daisy. The mar- guerites, however, are by far the most important from a florist's point of view. C. W. ANNUAL LUPINES FOR FORCING. Can you give us information regard- ing the culture of lupines, stating how they are propagated and grown, the right temperatures and the varieties best suited for forcing? L. C. S. & S. Annual lupines are becoming more popular each year for forcing purposes. Of course, there is not the same de- mand for them as for roses, carnations and some other staples, but they are popular with critical flower buyers. Their culture is not at all difficult. They succeed well with snapdragons and annual larkspurs. A night tem- perature of 45 to 48 degrees is better than 50 to 52 degrees in winter, and during the darkest months I find they do particularly well on raised benches. The early forcing varieties, such as Pink Beauty, Snowdrop and others, are easily flowered for Christmas. Seed should be sown in pots outdoors about August 10 and they should be trans- planted into the benches a . month or five weeks later. Succession batches can be started in pots or may be sown thinly in rows eighteen inches apart in the benches. L. mutabilis, pink and white, are not good midwinter bloomers, but after the end of February are fine. These require considerably more space than the more slender growing, early forcing sorts. After the main stem has been cut the plants break strongly and will furnish quite a number more flowering shoots. These do best in a night temperature of 45 degrees, al- though some growers get good success in a carnation temperature. The annual lupines are always propagated from seeds. C. W. OBITUARY. Michael Lawlor. Michael Lawlor, one of the oldest residents of Flushing, N. Y., died March 13, after a lingering illness from liver trouble. He was born in Ireland sixty- three years ago, and after coming to this country made Flushing his resi- dence.

One "1" between the "i's" is all that is sanctioned by the best usage. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Eeview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. This has been a hard winter on a good many growers, but the first business fail- ure to be laid to the severity of the sea- son is that of the Grand Bapids Green- house Co., which went into the hands of a receiver last week. There are four double-page spreads in this issue of The Eeview. When the retail florists make as good use of the papers that reach the public as the grow- ers and wholesalers do of The Eeview the use of plants and cut flowers will be many times what it now is. The fall exhibitions of the American Institute of the City of New York will be held in the Berkeley Lyceum building, 19 and 21 West Forty-fourth streets, as follows: Dahlia, fruit and vegetable ex- hibition, September 24 to 26; chrysan- themum exhibition of the American In- stitute and the Chrysanthemum Society of America, November 6 to 8. It once was thought of the sweet pea that its market usefulness as a cut flower was limited because it would not ship well, but at last week's show at Chicago Wm. Sim, of Cliftond^, Ma«3., frt*ge(~ several vases of peas, 11,100 ro^ej^roi ^^vhe^6lS»3^^^ii|lefcT0wif which stood ■ J. in good shape fJF two days in an over- AhMted room. That ratter ^es to show that the flower has shipping qualities only second to those of the Bhinebeck violet, does it not? NOT THE "SPECIAL." No, valued reader, this is not the Special Number of The Beview — the "Special" comes out next week — this one is all in the day's work. But it contains 128 pages and the white paper used in printing the edition weighed 9,152 pounds, or just a little less than five tons. GENERAL BUSINESS OOOD. In a review of the general business situation, published March 16, E. Q. Dun & Co. say: "Aside from the cli- matic handicaps, trade generally dis- closes large and well sustained volume. The improving developments find testi- mony in heavy exchanges through the banks, decreased insolvencies, increas- ing demands upon the leading indus- tries, and growing confidence in the outlook. New business, as a whole, equals expectation in most branches of production, although seasonable activ- ity in leading retail lines is hampered by unsettled weather, and crop market- ings again show decline, owing to storms throughout the west and block- aded transportation." A HUNDBED DOLLABS TOO MUCH. One of the unfortunate features of the use of the classified advertisements in The Eeview is that the orders often overrun the advertiser's supply of stock — in that case one -has to return a lot of good money. Please discontinue my advertisement of vlncas. The first Insertion cleaned me up and I had to return nearly $100 besides. I enclose 40 cents to pay for the advertisement. — D. R. White, San- dusky, O., March 16, 1912. Note that 40 cents was what it cost this advertiser to clean up his surplus. Would it be worth that much to you to turn some batch of plants into cash? Do it now. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Business improved slowly last week, until Saturday, March 16 proving much the best day the market has enjoyed since the advent of Lent. There was some reduction in the supplies of stock, many growers asserting that the heav- iest part of the spring crop has been cut, but in no department was the re- duction in supplies suf&cient to cause any embarrassment in the filling of orders; the improvement was rather in the nature of less stock being jobbed off; there was no pronounced advance in the prices paid by the retailers. This week opened with a good Monday busi- ness, prices stiffening slightly, and after the Sunday extra cut had been disposed of the market was in condi- tion for some advance in prices Tues- day, but a belated blizzard Wednesday gave the market another setback. If there is any item that is scarce it is Beauties. Those of strictly first-class quality are not abundant. Eastern Beauties are again coming to this mar- ket, indicating that the supply here is not so large as in the east, and that the prices average higher. There is no ■toriige dl roses, '^illarney and White ^jjPiieyTOay be had in any grade, some of the stems running to five feet.

But OUT Lilies will be fine — all true Giganteums, clean, healthy and even. They will run 3 to 5 flowers to the stem and will be packed at the greenhouses in boxes of 100, for shipment without rehandling. We can furnish any length of stem your trade calls for. Don't fail to get our quotation before you let anyone else book your order. KILLARNEYS These are very fine and plentiful. We ask retailers to order freely of our Killarney and White Killarney, for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by making friends for those who buy of us. It has long been recognized that length for length of stem our Killarneys carried the finest flowers of any in this market. If you are not using our Killarneys, you ought to be, if you want the best. SWEET PEAS For years we have been headquarters for Sweet Peas, but we never have had at this date such fine stock or such large (juantities as now. Extra long stems, carrying large, perfect flowers. All the fancy colors as well as white and pink. We are shipping these Peas, fresh picked, in great quantities and they never fail to give buyers the best of satisfaction. CARNATIONS Once a user of our Carnations, always a user is almost always the rule —because ours is the best average large lot of Carnations in this market. There may he others as good, in small lots, but there is no big supply that will compare with ours for (luality. Send us your order for Easter. VIOLETS The Easter Violets promise to be better than usual this year, because of the late spring. We handle the cream of the cropa. Shall be esi>eciaUy strong on doubles.

LILIES EASTER •■■^^■^^^■^r ^^^I^^^W ^^^^^ NOW BOOKING ORDERS $8.00 TO $12.50 PER 100 Year after year we have had the fine«t Lilies in the maricet — our grower tells us they will be, if anything:, a little better than usual this season. These are all true Giganteums, the same stock that<.has given'* such good satisfaction in the past. They will be packed at the greenhouses in boxes of 100 — packed, mind you, by men who know HOW to pack Lilies, and shipped without rehandling, so that they reach the retailer in the same perfect condition that they came out of the greenhouse. We say without fear of contradiction that any florist who has had these Lilies and other Lilies in past years has found our Lilies not only the best but the most profitable Lilies fa» has handled. The supply will be largfer than ever this year, so that we shall be able to t^ke care of quite a few new customers. Now booking orders. R0S6S.

Randdph Street, Chica^ MenttOD The Review lyhen yon write. grades do not appear to be returning money in proportion to their quality. Kichmond is abundant. One house has a good crop of Jardine, another has a nice lot of Eivoire, while a third is cutting Ehea Eeid. A few growers have the Double Killarney, the Dark Pink Killarney and Melody, but in gen- eral all these varieties are in small sup- ply, particularly compared to the quan- tities of Killarney. One or two grow- ers are cutting Bride and Bridesmaid of fair quality, but these probably will completely disappear in another season. Carnations are slightly less abundant than they were and prices are averag- ing a little better. The quality of car- nations leaves little to be desired. Neither are sweet peas so abundant as in the last fortnight, but there still are more than the trade requires and the prices rule much too low for the fine grade of stock. Violets have done slightly better in the last few days and both violets and peas are expected to sell more briskly now that the weather is such that flowers can be worn on the street. The single violets are rapidly running out. Cattleyas are not abundant, but the demand for these has not yet sprung up. Valley is plentiful. Bulbous stock is cutting less figure than it did, though prices con- tinue to make an extremely low aver- age. Among the miscellaneous items seen in small quantity but good quality are snapdragons, stocks, mignonette, daisies and pansies. There is nothing of special note in the green goods mar- ket Various Notes. It is reported that Sharp, Partridge & Co., who have done a big business on greenhouse glass this season, have made a ten-strike by having on hand, when the factory priee advance took place, the largest stock in their history.

Winterson 's Seed Store received the first car of Holland nursery stock of the season March 18. The boxwoods went to a cold storage warehouse, but a basement in the neighborhood was rented for the storage of the shrubs, etc. The Boston Store had a special sale of shamrocks in 1%-inch pots at 2^4 cents each. It is said their first order was 15,000 and that in the end they took all Frank Oechslin could supply. John Kruchten says that double stocks are excellent property, but that the singles are a difficult proposition. John P. Eisch is devoting the greater part of his time to the new Weiland's retail store in the Venetian building, with Peter Eisch and Herman Eodgers looking out for the wholesale store of Weiland & Eisch. Peter Eisch, who is in close touch with the growers, pre- dicts that carnations will be pretty well off crop by Easter. A leak in the gas main in front of the greenhouse of the Des Plaines Floral Co., about a month ago, dam- aged the carnations considerably before it was discovered and repaired. Mr. Blewitt says one bench had to be en- tirely thrown out, while the balance of the plants were retarded about three weeks in blooming, but are now prac- tically recovered. The total loss is estimated at about $300 and a claim for that amount has been filed with the North Shore Consolidated Gas Co., which owns the main that caused the trouble. C. W. McKellar is entertaining his cousin, Eobert Becker, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. George Eeinberg has begun wrecking the greenhouses along Foster avenue that are to be replaced by a flat build- ing. He also is cleaning out some of the houses damaged by the tornado last autumn, but not then rebuilt, intending to put them into shape for early plant- ing. Harry Garland, manager for the Geo.' M.

The latest addition to the staff of Hoerber Bros., March 18, is Laurene Mathes, who for nearly four years has been with Weiland & Bisch. At Kyle & Foerater's it is reported that Mrs. W. P. Kyle has completely recovered her health, following her re- cent operation. "Like another Easter" is H. N. Bruns' characterization of the Sunday business, March 17, and it kept up all day Monday. Mr. Bruns has purchased the 50-foot lot east of his present prop- erty and contemplates building another greenhouse this summer for the grow- ing of valley, well known as his spe- cialty. E. B. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- burn, entertained J, F. Wilcox, of Coun- cil Bluffs, March 16. Mr. Wilcox was in Chicago for the flower show and to place orders for material for the big ad- dition to his range that is to be built this season. Mrs. E. E. Pieser is so seriously ill that Mr. Pieser is extremely worried. Peter Eeinberg is using all the wood from his Wards in working up stock for next season. Otto W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros.

The heat of the room was hard on the stock, but the flowers remained presentable for five days. John Zech, of Zech & Mann, who has been spending the last week or so at a Milwaukee sanitarium, is reported as being greatly benefited by the rest from business cares and will be back at work in a few days. When met in the store of the E. C. Amling Co., March 19, H. C. Wendland was describing the up-to-dateness of the Cadillac touring car he had just ordered. Mr. Wendland 's partner drives an Overland. Mr. Amling 's car is a Silent Knight. A. Henderson & Co. say that "Big Pete" Sroczynski has an exceptionally fine lot of lilies this season. You can guess who supplied most of the bulbs. O. Johnson says that spring arrived at Batavia this week and building operations will soon be under way. Did you know that Mr. Pyfer's first name is Aaron, same as Ward, the popular rose! According to the loop retailers, the demand for St. Patrick's day green carnations was not so brisk as it should have been. Saturday was considered too early and on Sunday there was no great demand. H. G. Young says business at his store at 10 North Western avenue has far exceeded his expectations. The packing shed was a busy place at the Edgebrook greenhouses March 18, and Otto Wittbold says the ship- ments are increasing daily, particu- larly in Easter and bedding plants.

Mr. Wittbold says this part of the work was delayed a month later than last year, owing to the extremely cold weather. Easter basket orders are heavy with the Baedlein Basket Co., and Mr. Baedlein says business shows a big in- crease over last year. The Fleischman Floral Co. came out with another full-page advertisement in the leading morning daily March 18, but though approximately the pame prices as before were quoted, it created not even a ripple in trade circles — even the smallest buyer can sell at those rates now. A. F. Longren and Cliflford Pruner, of E. H. Hunt's selling force, left Chi- cago on business trips the earlier part of this week. Phil Schupp, manager of the J. A.

Spring chose St. Patrick's day for its opening. The passing of the long win- ter brings general rejoicing, especially to the growers, whose coal bills in many cases have almost eaten up the profits . of the season. As to prices, there has been little change from last week's quotations, but the retail demand became aggres- sive March 16 and a general clean-up resulted. Beauties held at 25 cents for the selects last week, and large ship- ments of them make any advance im- probable. All varieties of roses are in unlimited supply, Killarney espe- cially. In large lots these have been disposed of at summer prices. The carnation receipts last week were enor- mous and the surplus went to the street men as low as $5 per thousand. Even in small quantities $2 per hundred seemed to be the limit. Quality is superb. Of violets there is no end. The curb merchants offer them at 5 cents a bunch. In cattleyas some fine Mossise, TriansB and Schroederae are ar- riving. Prices are fairly well main- tained, and the bookings for Easter shipments have begun. Valley and lilies have not improved as yet. Orders for lilies for Easter, being booked at 40 cents. Gardenias have advanced a trifle. There is no decrease in the flood of bulbous stock, and snapdragon, wallflowers, daisies, pansies, lilac and all spring flowers are here in abun- dance. Plant Growers Visit Jersey.

There were present C. W. Scott, of Whitestone; Gerard and Henry Dreyer, of Elmhurst; Oscar Boehler, H. C. Steinhoff, Chas. Engeln and H. Baumann, of West Hoboken; Fritz Dressel, of Weehawken; H.

Dwyer is foreman. The next stop was at John Eeichert's, at North Bergen, where the fat man has a fine general assortment. At J. H. Fiesser's a call was made, and then on to New Durham and Herman Schoelzel 's, where Mrs. Schoelzel was the generous hostess, serving an elaborate lunch to her hun- grj' and thirsty visitors. Two new ferns, sports of Scholzeli, were greatly admired. Both are distinct types. Then came Hackensack and Lehnig & Winni- f eld's big plant. Woodsen & Christen- sen, of Woodridge, came next, where the big daisies are grown that are han- dled by Wm. Kessler and Jas. McManus. Then a call was made on the Julius Roehrs Co., although a whole day is needed to do the 100 big greenhouses. The plant of Bobbink & Atkins drew the travelers across the way and it would take another day to do this es- tablishment justice. Komitsch & Junge and Emil Savoy, of Secaucus, were the next places visited. The Exotic Nur- series was the last establishment at which a stop was made. Good stock was the rule everywhere, and most of ii, was already sold, we were told. The banquet in the evening was a fitting close to a delightful day. Various Notes.

It is cheering to be able to report somewhat improved conditions in the market. The supplies of one or two staples have fallen off, but the milder weather, with the street fakers all busily employed, is the main cause of improvement. There has been a good demand for short-stemmed roses and prices have improved on these, but the better grades are almost unchanged. The warmer weather has caused a con- siderable increase in the supplies and, if it continues, lower prices are probable. Carnations are doing better, select grades making up to $3 and $4 per hundred. There was a heavy call for coloring purposes for St. Patrick's day, which boomed the price on these, quite a few growers making $3 per hundred. There is a veritable avalanche of vio- lets daily, singles, of course, predomi- nating. The color and size still are good. Prospects are for a good crop of doubles, but only a moderate pick of singles for Easter. Lilies are selling at $10 to $12.50 per hunired for Easter delivery. The de- mand is rather light. Formosas are much in evidence among the cut lilies. Bulbous stock is cleaning up better. Sweet peas are now of superb quality and quite a, number of varieties are to be seen. Pink, white and lavender are, however, the selling colors. Marguer- ites are increasing in numbers and im- proving in quality. Yellow sells well; white goes harder. Valley is in over- supply. Cattleya Trianae is scarce, but there are quite a few Schroederse com- ing in, sufficient for the rather scant demand at present. Wallflowers, bach- elor's buttons and pink snapdragon sell best among miscellaneous flowers. There has been a fair call for green goods, especially Asparagus Sprengeri. Pot plant trade is becoming, quite brisk. Tausendschon roses are more in evidence than ever, while acacias, azaleas, ericas, lilacs, genistas, boronias and many other varieties are seen. Lilies are in strong demand and most of the leading growers are already quite well cleaned out. Club Meeting.

The Market. The weather for the first half of March has been severe and anything but lamblike, so florists are expecting to deal with the "lamb" instead of the "lion" during the last of the month. So far growers have burned much more coal this year than they did for the same period last year and they are anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring. An unusual number of funerals kept the florists busy last week. Beauties are again with us, after having been a minus quantity for a few weeks. They are of good quality and reasonable in price.

An instantaneous change from ugliness to beauty ; from a repel- lent clay pot which detracts greatly from the most graceful- plant, to a dainty pot cover that adds to the beauty and attracts the plant buyer, has been made possible by Ever-Ready Flower Pot Covers which are now used by leading florists throughout the country. They are made in sizes and shapes to fit any pot or pan and i , . . stand unlimited wear and tear. A strong cardboard foundation coveired with best quality waterproof crepe paper, tied with silk fiber ribbon at the top and bottom and firmly faptfned with metal clips— such is the Ever-Ready. It is collapsible, thus requiring little storage space. Help your Easter plants to sel| th^selves. The cost is so slight that you can give them away. Write Today for Circulars and Price List. Ever-Ready Flower Pot Cover Co., Hughes Ave., Mention The Review when you write. The carnations were prononnced ex- ceptionally good by • all who atteafled, and did great credit to the carnation growers of Bochester and Vicinity; Pursell & Cragg had a fine exhibit of roses, comprising Killarney, Bichmibnd, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Taft an^- Kais^rin. It was voted to hold the Abwer pbow during the week of November 3.' - The members of the association who went to Ithaca last month to represent the florists of this city at the State Federation of Florists! ^Cljih^ reported on the various phases of the gathering and recommended that the Bochester organization affiliate itself with it. The recommendation, waa adopted. E. R.- Fry and William Logan gave interest- ing reports and stated that the next meeting of the federation will be held early in September, during the state fair at Syracuse, N. Y. E. B. Fry was elected vice-president of the State Fed- eration of Florists' Clubs. Charles N. White, of Gasport, N. Y., was the speaker of the evening and gave a talk on "Carnations." Besides his large establishment in Gasport, Mr. White has 35,000 square feet of glass in Medina, N. Y., and during the com- ing summer he expects to move his en- tire plant to Medina, which is on the main line of a railroad, and this will facilitate matters greatly in transporta- tion and obtaining coal. He has ex- perimented in sterilizing soil with live steam, but did not get satisfactory re- sults. A number of the florists present asked questions on carnation culture, which were answered by Mr. White. A lively discussion took place on the pernicious practice of the free dis- tribution of seeds by our government, and several members were in faVor of taking action to try to abolish this custom. They believe it is a great detriment to the seed trade in general. The next meeting of the association will be held April 8, and John Dunbar will give a talk on "Fall Pruning." It was decided to hold a banquet at Hotel Powers, March 26, to which the ladies and the friends of the members of the association are invited. A big time is expected. Various Notes. J. B.

The work on roses has been continued along the same lines as during the last year; namelv, a test of grafted and own-root stock and fertilizer work sim- ilar to that of the carnation experi- ment. Fertilizer Experiment. The varieties used for this purpose are Killarney and Bride, each occupy- ing two benches 4x100 feet. Each bench was divided into ten sections and each section was used for a diff- erent quantity of commercial fertilizer. As roses are considered heavy feeders, the units selected for this work are double the amount used with the car- nations. The same fertilizers were also used. Here, as in the carnation, the quantities were doubled and quadrupled singly, in pairs and all together. Well decayed manure was also used to supply the necessary humus. The unit of application was as follows: | EASTER LILIES Giganteum, best quality 12c PER BLOOM CUT OR IN POTS Place your orders with us for now and Easter.

The own -root plants in these sections have been badly affected by an overdose of nitrogen, which shows in the leaves, which have become a light yellow-green with darker venation. It is interesting to note that the grafted plants in the same section are not so badly affected, showing that roses on Manetti stock can stand more nitrogen. Also where nitrogen is used in excess there is a greater number of seconds during the months when the excess be- gins to take effect. The plants in the control section made vigorous growth, but did not pro- duce as many flowers as the fertilized sections.

If the results of the past year are borne out by those of the present year, there can be no doubt that grafted plants produce more flowers, as is shown by the differences of 913 in the Brides and 1,223 in the .Killarnejs in favor, of the grafted plants. These differences are in the cut from 320 grafted and 320 own-root plants in each case. One of the most interesting facts is that in the experiments the grafted plants, in nearly every case, were larger than the own-root. In our estimation, the most interest- ing result is the one mentioned before; namely, that the grafted plants can stand more fertilizer. Summary. 1. Carnations grown with commer- cial fertilizers are the equal of those grown with natural manures. 2. There is less danger of overfeed- ing with acid phosphate and potassium sulphate, both in roses and carnations, than with dried blood. 3. Where ammonium sulphate is used in the place of dried blood the soil dries out sooner. 4. Where large amounts of nitrogen are used there is liable to be more rust in the carnations. 5.

If the results of the past year are borne out by those of the present year, there can be no doubt that grafted plants produce more flowers, as is shown by the differences of 913 in the Brides and 1,223 in the Killarneys in favor, of the grafted plants. These differences are in the cut from 320 grafted and 320 own-root plants in each case. One of the most interesting facts is that in the experiments the grafted plants, in nearly every case, were larger than the own-root. In our estimation, the most interest- ing result is the one mentioned before; namely, that the grafted plants can stand more fertilizer. Summary. 1. Carnations grown with commer- cial fertilizers are the equal of those grown with natural manures. 2. There is less danger of overfeed- ing with acid phosphate and potassium sulphate, both in roses and carnations, than with dried blood. 3. Where ammonium sulphate is used in the place of dried blood the soil dries out sooner. 4. Where large amounts of nitrogen are used there is liable to be more rust in the carnations. 5.

The cut flower market shows an im- provement that makes the big money spent in coal a little less terrible to the growers. The buyers have been taking hold a little more freely at the mod- erate prices that prevail. The milder weather has been a factor. New buy- ers for quantity lots have appeared with the signs of spring and the outlook is brighter. St. Patrick's day saw a good demand for white carnations, the better grades selling well at from $3 to $4, oc- casionally $5. The whole carnation market improved, due partly to heavy out-of-town buying, with prices firmer. The feature of the rose market is the decline in Beauties. While receipts are not heavy, the demand is so light that prices are fast falling to the point where the market broadens, or in plain English, to $25 per hundred. That is the figure at which many buyers who do not handle Beauties regularly in winter will take a chance. The other roses are, fortunately, more plentiful in the medium than in the fancy grades. Un- fortunately, they are most plentiful in the shorter grades; just as well in white but by no means as well in pink. The sweet pea is a popular flower when well grown. The heavy crop of short-stemmed, poor blossoms is profit- less. Cattleyas are cheap. Trianae holds up fairly well, but don't make a low offer for SchroedersB when not needed. Gardenias are in better sup- ply; prices rule low. "Valley is dull. Daisies are neglected. The violet mar- ket reports are contradictory. A good many are sold; some are not. Prices are modest. Easter lilies and callas are coming forward, but snapdragon is on the back track. There is decided im- provement in tulips. Some excellent stock is coming into town. Emperor daffodils are also well done. Prices on all bulbous flowers are low. Greens are more plentiful. Wild smilax is scarce. Easter Plants. Godfrey Aschmann has his place completely filled with as fine a lot of Easter Plants We will have a large stock of fine Lilies, Carnations, Violets, Roses and Sweet Peas for Easter. We do not anticipate any special advance in prices and believe that we can execute in full all orders entrusted to us in advance.

His lilies, from bulbs especially selected for him, are clean, vigorous, well-flow- ered and of excellent height, stocK of which he is justly proud. His azaleas are numerous, of the best varieties and well timed for Easter. His spiraeas, all Gladstone, I think, are a splendid sight; two sizes, the larger on the cen- ter tables, the smaller on the side, well clothed with glossy foliage and well set with buds — most gratifying, as spiraea is scarce this season. These three varieties of Easter blooming plants, forming the leading trio in most collections, are Mr. Asch- mann's leaders. Close after them come Hydrangea Otaksa, well set with buds, and those dear little begonias that ap- peal to the heart of every flower lover; some call them Vernon, some Erfordii, some semperflorens; all know the type and value it for its vigor and freedom of bloom. Then there was an excellent lot of cinerarias, the early bloomers showing large flowers with distinct color marking. Bulbous flowers are also given a place at Mr. Aschmann 's. A neighbor- ing greenhouse has been rented for the benefit of 3,000 of his hyacinths. The main body of his hyacinths, tulips and daffodils are on his own place. A few forced early give promise of fine flow- ers, the colors of the hyacinths being particularly bright. The foliage plants grown by Mr. Aschmann for Easter include some ex- cellent araucarias, kentias, ficus, cocos, asparagus and ferns of the Boston fam- ily. The quality of the stock and its numbers lead to the belief that Easter, 1912, will be the best in the history of Ontario street. March 21, 1912.

It is stated on good authority that Adolph Farenwald, president of the American Eose Society, will plant American Beauties largely for next season. A prominent florist who wished to describe the standing of a leader in another field said: "He is as well known as H. H. Battles. ' ' The death of Mrs. Gaehring, mother of Elmer W.

Eight Pages of Retailers' Cards y This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facilities for filling 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 so 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? T J.A.VALENTINE.

The condition of the local market last week was far from satisfactory; stock was overplentiful, to say the least, and the demand was far below the supply, and no flower, regardless of variety or condition, brought prices that would tend to encourage the grower. Boses have been especiallj' plentiful and job- bers and growers alike were willing to accept almost any price offered, and this was true also of valley. The pre- vailing price for American Beauties was $5 per dozen, and the demand was poor at that figure. Greens have moved fairly well. The deal§xs forgot to count sweet peas and these were sold in bunches at almost any figure, al- though some extra fine stock brought good money. The highest grade of Easter lilies sold all right at about $10 per hundred, but it was impossible to give away the poor ones. Double violets were a glut on the market; singles went fairly well. Daffodils moved along at moderate prices.

Y. were afraid that there was to be a scarcity of white carnations in the local market due to the demand for green ones for St. Patrick's day. Their fears proved to be unfounded, although it must be said that few went to waste. Pink and red carnations were to be seen in great profusion and large quan- tities were sold to the street men at ridiculously low prices. In this connec- tion it may be said that on Saturday, the only fair day in the week, these men reaped a harvest along the promenade streets. The best price for carnations was about $3 per hundred. Orchids have not been of as good qual- ity as desired and the best brought but $6 per dozen. Gardenias were plentiful, the average, price being $25 per hundred. Mignonette could not be sold at any price and you could get all the daisies in the market at $2 or less per hundred. Were it not for funeral work, of which there is a quantity, the last week, with its low prices, would start something in the way of worry. The coming week, however, should bring forth a change for the better. Various Notes. Upon the completion of the work on their stall in the Center market, J. M. Hammer & Son intend to put in a full line of cut flowers. This firm has here- tofore specialized on potted plants.

Mayberry will look after the entertainment features of the club during the next twelve months. The exhibit of cut flowers placed in the Franklin school by the club was viewed by thousands of people and is bound to act as a good piece of adver- tising, to the benefit of the local re- tailers. The flowers were those sub- mitted from local and out-of-town grow- ers at the last meeting of the club and consisted of roses, carnations and amaryllis. Fred H. Kramer spent several days last week in Kichmond, Va., where he visited a number of growers and re- tailers. Will Lacey will hereafter have charge of the rose growing operations of Fred H. Kramer, having succeeded his brother, Robert, in that position. Robert Lacey has started out for him- self. C. L. L. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The market last week showed little activity, although the wholesale houses had plenty of stock in all the season- able lines. While there was much more than the demand could consume, the glut was not nearly so great as the week previous. The weather was dark nearly all the week and that caused a let-up in the great quantities of stock being con- signed to this market. With Easter only two weeks away, we shall need lots of clear weather to bring along the lilies and other Easter blooming plants. Prices have stiffened only a little. White carnations took a jump to $3 per hundred the latter part of last week, as there was a great de- mand for them for coloring for St. Patrick's day.

FLOWER BOXES I Successful Florists use Sefton Boxes. To have success in shipping flowers, YOU should use them. We offer a complete and superior line of cut flower, folding boxes in numerous grades and sizes, as well as Corrugated Fibre Board Boxes for Live Plants and Floral Designs. Sefton Florists' Boxes combine high quality with low price. We man- ufacture them in large quantities and thus are able and pleased to give you the benefit in reasonably low prices. A box of high quality attracts the eye and makes it a pleasure to open a neat, tasty package. Sefton Florists' Boxes are trade builders, inas- much as they are high class and make a good impression. Purchasers of our boxes were once users of the inferior grades. Write for prices on your requirements. THB SBFTOIS MFO, COMPAINV 1333 W. 3Bth STREET, CHICAaO. ILL,. Paotorles t Anderson, Ind.

The market, which had been on the ragged edge for a fortnight, be- gan to brighten and by Saturday's close everything was cleaned up fairly well. Monday's opening was as good. It is to be hoped that this strong de- mand will prove substantial, instead of being only a spurt. The shipping busi- ness is holding its own, especially on decorative greens. Roses are coming into a full crop. The Brides and Maids are the best seen in the market for some time. Killarney is just coming on crop and all the offer- ings are excellent. Eichmond sells up each day. Beauties are coming in bet- ter and are beginning to be a factor in the market. Carnations, with the exception of white, are in adequate supply. The extra demand for white for coloring purposes has so skinned the plants that it will be several days before the supply gets back to normal. Indications are that the cut of carna- tions locally for Easter will be more or less short. Small bulbous stock is, as a whole, cleaning up nicely. The ofiferings of tulips, daffodils and jon- quils are choice. Easter lilies and callas are rather slow. Sweet peas enjoy a steady call. Many of the shorter ones, however, must be sacrificed to move them. Violets hardly sell at all. Various Notes. Harry Pfeiffer and Charles Pfeiffer, Jr., have taken over their father's greenhouse business and will run the place under the name of Chas. Pfeiffer 's Sons. Some of C. E. Critchell's orders for Easter are coming in so early this year that he is making arrangements for extra supplies of Easter lilies. P. J. Olinger went to New Castle last week. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has added a fine line of cut flower boxes to its list of supplies. Hardesty & Co. had quite a run on funeral work the latter part of last week. I regret to tell of the death of Mrs. Al. Bunner. Among Cincinnatians in Chicago last week were Al. Sunderbruch and R. Witterstaetter.

While stock continued plentiful last week, the demand showed quite an in- crease and business in general was quite satisfactory. While in former years the demand for green carnations was rather slim, local retailers did not stock up heavily for that time and the call caught them sleeping, for the demand for green cut flowers on St. Patrick's day this year was beyond expectations.

I wish to build a greenhouse, 40 x 100 feet, on the north side of a range of greenhouses. In this house I intend to grow only summer flowers, such as Kaiserin roses, sweet peas and asters. I do not wish to heat the house, as it would necessitate installing a new boiler. The temperature in this part of Virginia occasionally drops to 5 degrees below zero. Would the Kaiserins stand it if well mulched? Of course, the sweet peas and asters could be planted late in the spring. Is such a house prac- tical? I shall greatly appreciate any information you can give. J. F. The Kaiserin roses will come through the winter all right if they are well mulched and the beds are run on the dry side. The sweet peas could be sown quite early, by the early part of Feb- ruary if the ground is suflBciently open. It will not harm them if the ground is frozen over occasionally after sowing. Or you could start plants in flats of sand or sandy loam and transplant to the unheated house not later than the end of March. The sweet peas will do far better if started as early as possi- ble. They want a night temperature 10 degrees lower than the roses, while asters do better if even cooler than sweet peas. Give the Kaiserins the warmest part of the house and the DELIVERY WAGONS Are Made in Many Styles Particularly Adapted to Yotir Business. Otu- catalogues and prices will interest you and help you make your selection. DO YOU WANT THEM? THE STUDEBAKER CORPORATION I SOUTH BEND, IND. I Adrr. No. 1514.

Such a house should prove practical for the crops named and could also be profitably util- ized for chrysanthemums. You could, if necessary, plant such crops as gla- dioli, ten weeks' stocks, double fever- few. Spiraea Japonica and antirrhinums for Memorial day, in addition to sweet peas, and these could be followed by chrysanthemums. C. W. Poughkeepsie, N.

Spinach has been one of the fast sell- ing items with the wholesale seedsmen in Europe. J. W. BiTTENBENDER has Started in the wholesale and retail seed business at Knoxville, la. W. W. Vansant & Sons, Farragut, la., whose specialty is seed corn, report this their busiest season. The Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., recently completed a range of five green- houses each 28x150 and is building two others 28x44. The Holland bulb growers had a mild winter followed by a severely cold spell in February, but the latest advices indi- cate that the bulbs have come through in good shape. There has been a change in the Vick & Hill Co., Rochester. E. H. Vick, who is a brother of F. W. Vick, now is in business for his own account at 223 Flower City park, Rochester. The volume of mail orders now coming in is such as to indicate that the big day of the season, which frequently is the third or fourth Monday in March, is likely to be in April this year. Fire February 27 destroyed the seed store of John Dewsnup, of Deseret, Utah. The loss was near $10,000, with no insurance. There was more than 60,000 pounds of alfalfa seed stored in the building. There was heavy snow all over the north, from the Rockies to the Atlantic, March 14 and 15. The storm was fol- lowed by a genuine spring thaw, but it will take weeks to get the frost out of the ground. The seed season is, there- fore, developing slowly. According to advices early last week from the Lima bean district of Califor- nia, the rainfall to date exceeds six inches for the season, and while it is a good deal below the average it is held, nevertheless, to be ample for the present and makes prospects for the coming crop much better than the previous outlook. The agricultural appropriation bill, carrying an appropriation of $285,680 for free seeds for 1913, was passed by the lower house of Congress March 12. Curiously enough, Free Seeds Mann, as ho is known to some in the Second Illi- nois district, filibustered against the bill, but because of other features than the appropriation for free seeds.

You remember perhaps the old type — where family funerals and wed- dings were always held — the ancient horsehair sofas and chairs standing about like Egyptian mum- mies— a cold-blooded marble table in the center, with a few sea shells scattered about the plaster-Paris statue of a marriage ceremony under a glass dome. A sort of pallbearer's palace — a fit place to study about the immortality of the soul, read Milton's Paradise Lost, or to chloroform a cat. It was generally used for special cere- monies, such as balls, weddings and funerals, and the entertainment of long-lost uncles. Then came the plush covered era — chairs that would give you the creeps — fuss up your blood and absorb the dust ; and now since the advent of the vacuum cleaner, capable of sucking the guts out of such disease breed- ers, people have reached the Sani- tary Age — plain wood, with no cockroach cracks, rugs instead of carpets, and the name "parlor" has been changed to "living-room," and so on down the line. Same in the lily bulb business — from the old Madonna or Candidum lily — then the Harrisii, the Longiflorum, Multiflorum, Giganteum, Oshirna lilies (commonly known asFormo- sas), Azores, African Harrisii and some new ones en route. Always something new and something bet- ter is being evolved — to satisfy the more exacting buyers. Horseshoe Brand Lily Bulbs are secured from first hands direct from their orig- inal source. The first and import- ant part of the business is to secure the best quality produced. If a lily is mixed, and only partly diseased, it is carefully cultivated, and the diseased bulbs dug up and destroyed. Then from the healthy stock the variety which appears strongest and most prolific is selected. All this takes time, but all good things come slow. This process is now going on with the Horseshoe Brand Formosas— the process of evolution. The improvement is marked, and Horseshoe Formosas are becoming better every year. Some examples we have record of this season are remarkable. Easter comes, very early in 1913, and growers who want to be sure will do well to buy a few cases, of our Horseshoe Brand Formosas.

Exporter and Im- porter of all plants, roots and bulbs in season. Correspondence Solicited Mention The Review when you write Gilioy the sweet peas were separated by breaks of lettuce and onion. The lettuce for seed were to me a most wonderful sight, altogether there being somewhere near 300 acres of that crop. A pleasant surprise to me were the breaks of Cupid sweet peas. Hitherto I had always thought poorly of Cupid sweet peas, but in the warm, dry top- soil in California they thrive admira- bly. The plants are a mass of bloom and present a gay appearance. "Of course, the roguing is the prin- cipal occupation in summer time, and it is not, as many people imagine, roughly done. True, there is ail enor- mous acreage to cover in the season, but it is all gone over several times and the plot for stock seed is very thoroughly rogued. California grow- ers realize the importance now of true stocks, and are doing their utmost to secure purity and fixity. A great deal of the rough roguing is done by the Chinamen, and I have no hesitation in saying the Chinaman is an expert at the job. Of course he has to be told what to do, but if you tell a Chinaman what to do, he can do it, and do it well. 1 must confess to being greatly surprised at the smartness of these fel- lows. I like the Chinamen, and can al- ways get on with them. They are honest, trustworthy and kind-hearted people, and when once you 'savey' them they are 'heap good' fellows." THE SEED SITUATION. The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, has issued a circular to farmers in which it says: "We realize that this is the most peculiar season in many respects that we have ever had during the thir- ty-five years that the writer has been connected with the seed business and we do not wonder that the small deal- ers over the state are at a loss as to how to handle the trade. For several 3^ears past there has been a short crop of almost all kinds of clover, grass and field seeds, in many localities amount- ing to an entire failure. The surplus stocks which have accumulated in pre- vious years have been exhausted; the seed warehouses and lofts were bare at the beginning of the season. We do not need to tell you what a short crop this was, not only locally, but throughout the United States and Canada and also CANNAS Surplus of the following standard varieties; prices low to close out : Per 100 ItOO Per 100 1000 Chas.

Wabash Avenue, CHICAGO MencioD Ttie Kevicw wucu you wnte. in some foreign countries. Owing to the dry weather, the meadows were short, pasturage was so scarce that the stock was turned on to the meadows in many cases and hay was so high in price that it was a strong temptation to cut the crop for hay, instead of letting it produce seed. Through a large sec- tion of the country, the seed sown last spring started well, early, but later died out, and the pastures and meadows are bare and will require re-seeding. This is bound to make a considerable demand for seed, in spite of high prices." After reviewing the situation with regard to the principal items the cir- cular concludes: "Summing up the whole matter, we believe that owing to shortage of hay and pastures it is going to be absolutely necessary for the farm- ers to sow more seed than usual this spring, in spite of high prices. It would be really foolish for them to wait, as the difference in cost of seed this year compared to an ordinary season, figur- ing it by the acre and not by the bushel, is small, amounting to less than $1. We can not look for low prices on clover, timothy or other seeds, next year, as the old meadows are so badly killed out. It is probable that low values will not be reached again for many years, if ever. Far-seeing farmers will sow clover this spring, and, if they secure a good seed crop will probably realize high prices for same. Winter is holding on so late that the spring sea- son will probably be short; there will be a great rush for seed and it will be almost impossible to fill orders prompt- ly." FOBEIGN POTATOES FOE SEED. Although home-grown seed potatoes are selling at high prices, foreign- grown potatoes should not be substi- tuted for them, according to a state- ment on the danger to the American potato crop from the use of imported seed-potatoes issued by the Secretary of Agriculture, as follows: "Europe has several potato diseases not now known to exist in this country, which, if introduced, might be the means of greatly reducing our annual yield of potatoes. Should these diseases become prevalent throughout the United States the cost of producing future crops might be greatly increased. "Do not, therefore, under any cir- cumstances use foreign-grown potatoes for seed, either at the north or at the south. The sorts which are coming to this country at the present time are ^„v''r«e...

I am thinking of setting a bench with pie plant. Will it do all right with carnations? Will it be best to make a bed on the ground or in a bench six or eight inches from the ground, with heating pipes by the side of the bench? What kind of fertilizer should be used and what is the best variety of pie plant? At what time of the year should it be put in the house? Will roots that have grown in a garden all summer be all right for use the following winter? If not, where could I get roots? The climate here, in northwestern Oregon, is warm and rainy in winter, but with little sunshine. The thermometer rarely reg- isters as low as 10 or 12 degrees above zero. A. H. B. You can force rhubarb either on raised or solid beds, it does not matter which. It will do well in a carnation temperature, but better if a little warmer after being well started. Mam- moth Victoria and Linnaeus are prob- ably the best varieties. Select only good, strong clumps from a field 2 years old or more — not younger than that, or they are not strong enough.

Perhaps in your climate you could go outside and dig them any time they are wanted, which would be better. When taken inside, the clumps are packed close together; some fine soil is put in between and on top and they are watered well the first time, but not too freely for a while afterwaitd. Eegular rhubarb houses are usually dark and made of lumber. The plants are often grown under carnation benches, along the edges, but a bed by itself is undoubtedly better. More clumps are brought in when one lot becomes exhausted. It would be advisable to try the ex- periment on a small scale first. It is not too late yet to put in a few clumps and get some experience.

Metzner is a partner in the enterprise of Diener & Co. Bellingham, Wash. — At a recent meet- ing of the Western Washington Horti- lultural Association, held in this city, the following officers were elected: President, C. J. Stuart, of Monroe; vice- president, C. E. Flynt, of this city; sec- retary, J. Wayland, of Clarke county; treasurer, John A. Stewart, of Chris- topher. Puyallup was chosen as the place of the next meeting, to be held sometime in November. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. There is a decidedly better tone to business since the rain, and stock in all lines is cleaning up regularly. The ■outdoor flowers have suffered somewhat and it has been difficult to gather them, and this has been all in favor of in- ■door flowers. The fashion show in the large stores has led to a demand for quite a large quantity of greens, mostly asparagus strings, and the cheaper grades of flowers, while many palms and other large plants have been rented out for the occasion. Greenhouse carnations are fine and in full supply. Roses are fairly plentiful, good reds being in shortest supply. Daffodils are everywhere and tulips are coming more plentifully, with longer and better stems. Valley is in better supply and of superior quality to that shown of late. Orchids run along about even with the demand, but the quality is not first-rate. Cattleya Schroederse and Phalsenopsis amabilis are the most plentiful and are more frequently seen than any others. Acacia and other boughs are not so much shown. The call for sniilax is not so good as that for other greens. In pot plants fine azaleas, rhododendrons and assorted bulb stock are shown, but the demand is not great. The Japanese azaleas shown are simply a mass of flowers and these sell on sight, only a few being offered. Various Notes. Tassano Bros, expect the first arrivals of outdoor roses from their ranch in a few days. They are looking grand and are probably as good as any in southern California. Business in all lines is good here. Howard & Smith report that nursery stock has been mdving rapidly since the rains. A feature just beginning at their Montebello nurseries is the large block of their seedling amaryllis, or hippeastrum. They have been work- ing with this species of plants for sev- eral years and have the cream of all varieties. Their own seedlings, as they come in line, show a marked superiority even over the best European named stock, and from now until June 1 or thereabouts the nursery will be well worthy a visit for this feature alone. Good work, carried out in the best style with flowers of best quality, is the rule with the Hayward Floral Co., and this, combined with a good location, accounts for the large and constantly increasing business here. "At the establishment of the H. N. Gage Co., daffodils from under lath have been moving well, the flowers being large, clean and on good, stiff stems. Tulips and other spring flowers are being handled in large quantities, and also excellent valley. Business is booming at the Roserie, several large decorations having been carried out of late. Mr. Muller recently returned from a week's stay on tho desert, where Mrs. Muller still has to stay. At the Standard Pottery a big run on the large bowls is reported. These are fine, well finished goods, in which the firm takes great pride. The ordi nary pots as made here are light and strong, and for this reason are fine for shipping long distances. A. F. Borden reports business as keeping up well. He has been showing elegant pot hyacinths, while the quality of the carnations being shipped in from his Hollywood greenhouses is of the best. Funeral work still keeps the staff at Morris Goldenson's on the rush. The Japanese azaleas shown here are mar- vels of good culture and show the value of this section.

The young stock is large and in the best of condition, as are the blocks of Boston and other ferns. The rose houses are coming along in grand shape for Easter. The whole of Chas. Brazee's immense cut of tulips is being handled by the Los Angeles Flower Market and the quality of the flowers is magnificent. "Little Holland" was the name sug- gested to Mr. Brazee for his Wilming- ton ranch by one of the Holland sales- men recently. S. Murata, who bought out S. Shima 's business at 655 South Hill street re- cently, is doing a brisk trade and his delivery auto truck is kept on the run all the time. Good stock in all lines is being shipped. Tulips, Easter lilies and long Ameri- can Beauties are leaders just now with Creutz & Co. Trade in greens is fine. San Francisco has decided on a cen- tral market. "What's the matter with Los Angeles? The yellow Mexican poppy, Hunne- mannia fumariajfolia, is quite attrac- tive now and it stands well as a cuf flower, much better than the California poppy, eschscholzia. Visitors to the El Eeah Greenhouses, at Hollywood, say that the Easter lilies there are the best on the coast. H. E. Eichards. TACOMA WASH. The Market. This city and vicinity continue to have fine weather and the prolonged oversupply has forced the prices down somewhat. Carnations are good and may be had in any quantity, but most of the larger growers will clean out the old stock as soon as Easter is over. Lilies seem to be coming slowly, despite the bright weather and the generous amount of fuel being consumed to get them in on time. All kinds of bulbous stock are more plentiful, but there is not the oversupply of former years. Trip to Seattle. Leaving Taeoma at 9 a. m. March 13, twenty-four of the local florists, includ- ing the bowling team, took a special car for Seattle, where they were met by the Seattle club. After a short car ride, followed by a launch ride over beautiful Lake Wash- ington, we arrived at the range of the East Seattle Floral Co. Here we were shown through the well kept houses by the proprietors, Messrs. Stuber and Peterson, after which refreshments were served in the packing rooms. From here we were taken to the es- tablishments of the Wilson Floral Co. and the Mathieson Floral Co.; then to Frank Bell's and later to Eisdon & Son's place, where a picture of the two clubs was taken in the largest green- house in the state of Washington. A. E. Buxton's place was next vis- ited, and after another short car ride we found ourselves again in the city. A banquet was served at the Olympus cafe, after which all went to the bowling alleys. As usual, the Seattle boys were out of luck and we easily took two of the three games played. No especially high scores were rolled, though the averages were good. After the games, all went to the club rooms, where a joint meeting was held.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 79 returned home, tired but believing it to be the best day ever. These are the lit- tle things that tend to bring the two cities closer together, both in a business and social way, and will no doubt do much good to the trade of both cities. Various Notes. Mrs. Miefke opened a flower store here last week. She will carry on a general florists' and nursery business. The stock will be supplied from her greenhouses at Fife. The Smith Floral Co. is making extensive improvements in its new store. A fine show case is among the attractions noted. The company's greenhouses in the south end are look- ing well, and Mr. Smith reports business good along all lines. J. L. S. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. The bright weather has put a quietus on business. It seems as though funeral work slacks up the same as the counter trade. Carnations are overplentiful in all varieties, but the percentage of splits is being decreased as the season advances. Eoses are increasing in quantity but are far from being in surplus. Daffodils are in full bloom in the gardens, so prices are gradually declining. The demand for pans of hyacinths and tulips has been remark- ably brisk and good prices generally have prevailed, although the low prices of some florists make some people skeptical of their values. Various Notes. Clarke Bros, shipped a large consign- ment of Oregon grape to San Francisco this week, to be used by the Oregon delegation selecting the first site at the exposition grounds. Alder & Robinson have opened a store in Oregon City, reporting business sat- isfactory to date. E, R. C, SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. According to the weather man, this vicinity has had but nine inches of rain this season, as against twenty- seven inches one year ago. We have had most of these showers during the last few days and they were the most welcome blessings this portion of Cali- fornia has had for some time. Now that the fear of an excessively dry season is dissipated, everyone feels better and the chances for business have increased to quite a noticeable extent. We are in the midst of the lenten quietness and are having about the same amount of trade as in this season last year. Funer- al orders are good and have been so for several weeks. There is plenty of stock, with an abundance of late-flowering narcissi, brought into shape by the rains. Violets are scarce and a few weeks of warm weather will finish them for the season. Carnations and roses are a shade lower in price than they have been, with still lower quotations in sight. Easter lilies, freesias, hyacinths and valley are about as they were last week. Tulips are not so plentiful. Fruit blossoms and wild flowers are in evidence. Greens are not as plentiful as they usually are at this time.

A fire in the greenhouses of the Blanding Avenue Nursery, of Ala- meda, on the night of March 7, did damage to the extent of $700. C. G. Patten, of C. G. Patten & Son, Charles City, la., is here on a pleasure trip. Burglars made an effort to break into the store of the Elmhurst Floral Co., on Thirteenth street, Oakland, on the night of March 13, but were scared away by passers-by and escaped be- fore they had stolen anything from the premises. C. E. Lilley, of Santa Cruz, Cal., is shipping large quantities of late-flower- ing daffodils to the local trade. His stock of Emperor and Empress was extra good this season. G. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Trade was fairly good last week, sev- eral large funeral orders having helped to clean up some of the surplus stock. Flowers of most varieties are plentiful and in most cases quite up to the de- mand. St. Patrick's day created a little stimulus for white carnations. There are too many carnations, and the retailing of them at 35 cents a dozen does not tend to improve their status. In the same way the cheapness of violets oauses the better class of flower buy- ers to discontinue wearing them. Bulb stock continues cheap. Sweet peas are in most of the stores, but there is no great sale for them. The same may be said of valley, the price of which does not pay the cost of the pips. Good quality hyacinths are scarce, while spiraea is fairly plentiful. Tacoma Club Visit. On one of the most glorious days of this most glorious spring the Tacoma Florists' Club returned the visit of the local club. They were met on arrival of the interurban by representatives of the Seattle Florists' Club and escorted EASTER LILIES FOR EASTER-BEST IN THE MARKET Roses, Carnations, Valley, Violets, Daffodils, Freesias, Calla Lilies, Ferns and Smilax. 1 Write for Prices: DOMOTO BROS. 27-29 Lick Place, San Francisco, Cal.

The party enjoyed the sight of the fine bedding stock and carnations grown by these enterprising florists. They then continued on the lake to Bryn Mawr, where the plant of R. A. Wilson was visited. The party then bid farewell to the lake at Brighton beach, where the plants of A. B. Math- ieson, A. E. Buxton, Frank Bell and Bisdon & Son were looked over. Va- rious kinds of refreshments were served at each stop. Eeturning, dinner was served at the Olympus cafe, after which the principal event of the day, the bowling match, was staged. Tacoma again showed superiority, winning two games out of the three. Adjourning to the Seattle theater hall, the remainder of the evening was pleasantly spent in discussing matters of mutual interest. Various Notes. John Holze is recognized as a good hand at picking mayors, but his opinion on rope climbing is worth about 4 cents. The Paris Florists are doing good business at their new store on Pike street. J. J.

It does not crop, nor go oflf in color at any time from September to July. It is a great keeper and shipper. It outsells all other scarlets over the counter. It has been bringing us from 35 to 50 per cent more all season, than the best Beacon we ever grew. Many growers have come to see it growing, and then placed their orders. A number of them placed orders early, then came to see it and doubled the original order. We can still give you cuttings that will make fine stock for blooming next winter.

The monthly meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held March 13 at Pembroke hall. There were interesting exhibits in the monthly competition, for which S. J. Trepess, A, Mackenzie and J. Halloway acted as judges. Their decisions were as fol- lows: Vase of roses, John W. Everett, gar- dener for J. T. Pratt, first; J. Mc- Donald, gardener for E. Queen, and Joseph Hobinson, gardener for Colgate Hoyt, honorable mention. Cauliflower, J. W. Everett, first. Henry Gaut, gar- dener for H. L. Pratt, received a cer- tificate of culture for lettuce and a certificate of merit for antirrhinums. Scott Bros, received a certificate of merit for William Eccles carnations, named for the gardener of Mortimer L. Schiflf, of Oyster Bay. Several offers of prizes to be com- peted for at the annual show were re- ceived. It was decided that the silver cup donated by Mrs. E. M. Townsend, of Oyster Bay, be competed for at the dahlia show for outdoor roses, twelve varieties, six of each. It was decided that the Nassau Horti- cultural Society should become a mem- ber of the State Floral Society. M. C. Ebel, of Madison, N. J., was made an active member instead of being an hon- orary member. Next month's exhibit will comprise one pot of calceolaria, vase outdoor flowering shrubs and six tomatoes. Middletown, N.

Trade, with the exception of the last few days, has been unusually quiet. Stock of ,^\l kinds is plentiful. The streets are assuming a springlike effect, as every corner downtown has a flower stand. The last week was a busy one for the palm decorators, owing to the many store openings. Next week is the auto show, which should liven things considerably. Various Notes. Peter Weiland, of New Castle, has been , sending the best sweet peas into this market that have been seen this season. Fred Stolti, formerly with A. Wiegand & Sous but for the last two weeks with Alfred Brand, has resigned his posi- tion. The. Smith & Young Co. has rented a store room at 227 East Ohio street and will remove the wholesale department to this address next week. This is a large room with a commodious baje- ment, and will give ample room for some time to come for the rapidly in- crea^ng business. Chatles Pahud is spending his spare time investigating commercial auto- mobiles. Ferd Hitz & Son, of Madison, Ind., have been shipping carnations to this market. The Smith & Young Co. has pur- chased glass for a house 30x300. A, Wiegand & Sons have been busy the last week with store decorations. L. F. Benson has his delivery auto- mobile, which was recently damaged by a street car, back in service again. W. E. Clark, with the Clark Bros. Flower Pot Mfg. Co., of Crooksville, O., spent a few days with the trade last week. John Bertermann and Adolph Baur have returned from the Chicago spring show, which they pronounced a suc- cess. Baur & Steinkamp have ordered ma- terial for a new house 30x355 feet. H. L. W. Independence, Ean. — Mrs. Cora B. Crew, of this town, has purchased prop- erty at Cherryvale and will build a greenhouse there.

The Springfield Florists' Club held its monthly meeting in the office of the American Rose and Plant Co., in Clif- ton avenue, Monday evpning, March 18. The bill for cost of sodding and care- taking of the esplanade plot was al- lowed, amounting to $180. Wm. H. Guthrie, who is a grower of Eex be- gonias, was elected a member of the •club. An interesting paper on "Peonies," prepared by John M. Good, was read in the absence of Mr. Good by George H. Mellen. The origin of the peony and its gradual importation from China under great difficulties was traced, as well as its wonderful development in recent years. The Chinese have a pedi- gree list running back 1,200 years, while the American Peony Society has been only nine years compiling its list, in which work it has only got fairly well started. The magnificent sight during the blooming season at the Good & Welsh peony farm at Mud Run was interestingly described. Ward Welsh, the "farmer member" of the club, answered numerous questions as to soil, habits of growth and division of varieties. Mr. Welsh extended an invitation to the club to visit his farm at the season for blooms and water- melons, going via Husted and the hay wagon route, which invitation was ac- cepted. Ge Dale.

Business is holding up satisfactorily, and there are a few large functions in the nature of weddings, fetes or recep- tions to accelerate the general volume of trade. Prices range about normal; the quality is good and so is quantity. Funeral work has continued good all winter and, being well distributed, has kept everyone more or less busy. Bulb stock in pans and pots is beginning to make its appearance and give indica- tions of the approach of the Eastertide. It is expected that there will be a suf- ficient supply for this occasion. Various Notes. T. J, Johnston & Co., Ed Brooke man- ager, have added a handsome new de- livery automobile to their garage. This gives this concern two automobiles for delivery and one for pleasure. T. H. McAndrews has commenced cutting fine valley from his new range of houses at East Providence. Maurice Miller, for several years with William B. Hazard, has opened a store on Westminster street, near Franklin street. The decorations for the Empire theater are being furnished by The Rosery. Louis J.

Trade has been brisk here for the last two weeks, with an abundance of stock on hand. Boses have been quite plen- tiful and of good quality. They have been used up closely at all times. Car- nations are plentiful and several firms have made special sales on them at times. These sales have served to keep them down so there has been no over- stock at any time. Lilies have been lacking in supply for a time and the demand was greater than the cut. Sweet peas are quite plentiful, with a heavy demand, and they are generally about all used up. The demand has been heavy foT valley and at times there was not nearly enough to go around. Bulb stock has been plentiful, with some to spare at times, but as a rule it is mostly used up. Pot plants have been moving well, with a good supply on hand. Everybody is making preparations for Easter and no doubt there will be a good supply of stock. Various Notes. Ben Flynn, of Graflf's store, reports extra heavy business in funeral work. Sherman Stephens says things are moving quite lively out at his place. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is rush- ing the work on the store and hopes to have it all finished up for Easter. The Livingston Seed Co. reports good business on the flower side, but seed trade has hardly opened up locally, as the weather has been backward and some of the gardeners are not buying as early as usual. There have been several Greek stands opened up in the last two weeks and they seem to be doing some business. J. M. Scranton, Pa.— Morel Bros, recently ordered a new Chalmers touring car.

One of the largest concerns supplying Pocahontas coal to florists, and it is the favorite fuel with many growers, gives it as its opinion that the labor troubles that are imminent in the coal trade will be rather long drawn out. HEAT FOR FLORIST'S DWELLINa. Will you kindly inform me what size of radiators, or how many square feet of radiation, will be required to heat two rooms in my dwelling, adjoining the greenhouses? I am using overhead mains. Will special radiators be need- ed? The water in the boiler is most of the time at 180 degrees and I want a temperature of 70 degrees in both rooms when the outside temperature is 25 de- grees below zero, the coldest we had this winter. The two rooms have no doors leading to the outside; they have 8-inch cement walls, plastered outside and finished inside with siding all over. One room is eleven feet long, six feet wide and eight feet high; it has one' window, 21/2 X 5 feet. The other room is eleven feet square and eight feet high; it has two windows, each 2V^ x 5 feet. There is a connec|;ing door be- tween the two rooms. There are other rooms in the rear of these two rooms. H. S. The amount of radiation depends to some extent upon the amount of wall surface exposed to the outside air. The arrangement of the rooms is not quite clear, but supposing that each of the rooms has two walls exposed, and that the rooms to the rear are heated, it should be possible to heat the smaller room, 6x11 feet, by using a radiator containing forty square feet of radiat- ing surface. The larger room should have sixty-four feet of radiation. DEEPEN THE BOILER PIT. A short time ago I wrote to you ask- ing for information on the heating of my greenhouse. However, I did not give as full particulars as I might and a brother florist has advised me to write again, giving more explicit details. I have run the steam system for two winters and have not got satisfactory results. My boiler, I think, is large enough, but perhaps there is not enough pipe for radiation. When I build a larger place, I shall probably install a hot water system, but I must use the steam system for the present. My green- house is 12x60 feet, six feet high to the eaves and nine feet to the ridge. It has an even-span roof. The house runs east and west. The gables are glass and there is a foot and a half of glass in the south wall. The required tem- perature is 60 degrees when the outside temperature is zero. The boiler is of the round, upright type, for steam, and is six horse-power. It contains thirty 2-inch flues, three NO SECTIONS EASY TO SHT UP Made of Boiler Plate Absolutely Safe CANNOT CRACK Has Thin Water Ways Vertical Circulation The LonRest Fire Travel Heats Quick, Easy to Clean More Direct Surface than any Other Boiler Send for Catalocne. WHAT THE USERS SAY Better than All Others I have flred boilers for the last forty years. Th* Kro«sch*ll Is th*Ib*st I hav* •v«r us«d. I have two cast iron boilers, also a locomotive boiler coupled with yours, but did not need to use the cast iron boilers this winter. Your No. 7 boiler is rated at IS.OOO sq. ft. of class and carries 25,000 sq. ft. of glass until the outside temperature goes down to 10'' of frost. We have no trouble to keep temperatures in our houses with easy firing since we in- stalled your boiler.

Where should the air valves be placed? The piping consists of a 2-inch overhead feed pipe in the center of the house, and returns under the side benches. At the north side there are two lV4-inch returns and one 2-inch return; at the south side there is one radiator containing three 1-inch pipes. I shall greatly appreciate any informa- tion, as I am tired of experimenting. I am located in southeastern Michigan. C. H. W. C. It is always desirable to have a steam boiler two feet below the coils, when a gravity system is used, and for a large range the difference in height should be even more than two feet. The air valves should be near the lower end of each of the coils. While the boiler in question would probably test about five horse-power, the grate is rather small for greenhouse heating, where it is de- sirable to leave the fire for several hours at night. The trouble referred to could probably be corrected by sink- ing the boiler about two feet. If this can not be done, a check valve could be placed in the return and the water supplied to the boiler by means of an electric pump. For a house requiring only 300 square feet of steam radiation it is generally more satisfactory to use hot water, but the same difficulty would be met with unless the boiler can be lowered. While, as a rule, it is advisable to have chim- neys at least twenty-five feet high, if a good draft can be secured with a height of eighteen feet, that is all that is required. The amount of radiation is fairly correct, although another 1^- inch return could be used to advantage along the south side of the house. Galesburg, HI.— I. L.

While the outlook was rather dull, business picked up toward the end of last week, resulting in a clean-up of all available stock on the market. Carna- tions and roses piled up, but the spe- cial sales relieved this situation Friday and Saturday. On the whole the prices which stock brought were nothing startling, but almost any price is better than the ash barrel. Until now we have had winter weath- er, but the last few days brought a heavy thaw and indications are that spring has come at last. Bulb stock is, of course, plentiful, especially yellow daffodils. Lilies are also seen in large quantities. Various Notes. A most cordial invitation is extended to all florists, their wives and employees to spend Monday evening, March 25, at the beautiful new establishment of the Bemb Floral Co. There will be music and plenty of lunch. Florists from anywhere in the universe are wel- come. While the store, which, by the way, will be one of the finest and most complete flower stores in the country, is practically completed, Mr. Pochelon will not open it to the public until about Wednesday, March 27, with a formal opening later. One of the most attractive show windows on Woodward avenue last week was that of J. F. Sullivan. It was a typical St. Patrick 's day window. In one corner stood a large painting of St. Patrick. In the foreground were numerous snakes, apparently winding their way over the grass amidst clumps of shamrock plants; to top off the whole, a small piece of the famous Blarney stone was conspicuous. This is spring opening week at the stores and it has kept some of the flo- rists decidedly busy. J. L. Hudson's store was tastefully decorated by Breitmeyer's staff. B. Schroeter sup- plied the decoration for Crowley, Milner & Traver, and the Bird Co. openings. Walter Mundt was elected a member of the Detroit Florists' Club at a re- cent meeting. About April 1 Hufford & Mabius will move from their present quarters to their new location at 247-249 Eandolph street, where they will have all modern conveniences to be found in a first- class flower store.

Fl RST in the thought of every man or firm intending to erect a greenhouse, or range of houses, should be the question of results: — Which construction will give the most sunlight during the long winter months, when every ray of light means money, and, at the same time, be strong enough to stand the strain of wind and snow? Right here is where the construction illustrated herewith comes into the question. You can see for yourself how light the house is — no posts or heavy rafters to cast shadows — a clear, unbroken view from end to end ; but) is it strong ? Yes — unqualifiedly. Yes ! Many of the world's largest buildings, the strength of which is unquestioned — such as the big assembly halls, coliseums, etc., are built with truss construction, and the same principles are properly applied in the new Garland truss houses, one of which is shown here. Carnation House Forty-two Feet Wide, Built by Dobbs & Son, Auburn, N. Y. B N immense amount of time, thought and energy was spent in bring- ing the Garland truss construction to its present state of perfection. Severe tests of every kind have been applied, and the result is a house that we c an conscientiously recommend and endorse as the lightest strong gre enhouse on the market. We have eliminated the hundreds of bolts, clips and clamps found in other truss constructions, every one of which gave a chance for strain to loosen them, and have substituted a construc- tion so perfectly matched and planned that all parts fit tightly and are hooked together with no chance for " play " in the joints. Another essen- tial point in the strength of Garland construction is the Garland Semi- malleable Cast Iron Gutter, and we want to tell you more about it.

The Weekly Florists' Review* ^ MAKING EASTEB PROFITABLE. Watching the Extra Expenses. If the volume of business done by a retailer during Easter week could be extended over a long enough period to be handled without the cost of addi- tional store help, drivers, errand boys, horses or automobiles, the profits would naturally be more than under the pres- ent circumstances. Still, by carefully watching every detail the extra ex- penses can be greatly reduced, and every dollar saved at this time is a dollar added to the profits. First of all, refer to your notes on last Easter and see how violets, sweet peas, roses, etc., sold, and in placing your orders for this year's supply order accordingly, allowing a liberal amount for increased business, but do not buy recklessly. It is more profitable to lose a few sales than to have several thousand violets left the day after. Baskets sell well at Easter, but should not be made up too long before or too many at one time. It is more advisable to make them up as the de- mand requires, for immediately after Easter the market for them will be gone and then the stock in them will be practically useless. The Extra Help. Plants and baskets should all be marked with the selling price by some competent person and this price should not be cut without first consulting the person in charge. It is also wise not to allow the extra salespeople to sell cut flowers, especially roses, unless they have had previous experience in han- dling flowers, as many an expensive rose or carnation is broken through being carelessly handled. Let none but your regular help sell cut flowers or take orders for design work. By using sotne judgment in engaging your extra help, many a dollar can be saved. Hire enough help, but do not give every friend or relative a job just to make yourself a good fellow. Friends are all very well, but treat them as you would strangers if you wish them to earn their pay in Easter week. Unnecessary Wastefulness. In putting up the numerous boxes of loose flowers for delivery, an extra ■ flower of a kind of which you have a surplus in stock will do no harm, but often, in their enthusiasm or forgetful- ness, employees will fail to keep track of their count and if this is not guarded against many dollars will be given away, for which not you but the sender will receive thanks. If you want to give flowers away, enclose your card and send them where they will bring returns. Plants should all be carefully wrapped to guard against frost and breakage, but much unnecessary waste of paper and twine is often caused during the rush by allowing these materials to be trampled underfoot. This, of course, is a small item; still. Beauties in Gold Basket. if the small leaks are closely watched there will probably be no large leaks. The Extra Cost of Delivery. As already stated, there are any num- ber of extras which make inroads into Easter profits, but the additional cost of delivery is the biggest item by far. I have known of instances where flo- rists have contracted with auto express companies to do their Easter deliver- ing at so much per day, and the actual cost amounted to as much as 25 cents to 30 cents per order. This is alto- gether too much, but how best to get away from or around this awful drain is a hard problem to solve. First of all, we must start right. Avoid having plants that sell for less than 75 cents or $1, by planting small stock together or setting them aside until after Easter. Mark all plants and add from 15 cents to 35 cents to the usual price. Your trade will not notice this slight difference in price and it will at least partly offset the delivery expense. Troubles That May Be Avoided. Instruct your salespeople not to ask too many questions as to when an arti- cle shall be delivered; this will give you more leeway. Also see that the full, correct address of the customer is ob- tained; this will save many an extra trip, or perhaps a pull from east to west or north to south. Care should be exercised in hiring all your delivery help. There are in every city any number of young high school students who like to earn a little pin money occasionally, and among these you will find good material. These boys are usually well educated, refined and from good families. It is good policy to arrange with extra delivery help to pay them so much per hour. This will avoid all disputes when pay day comes. Systematizing the Deliveries. All trips should, of course, be routed by a person well acquainted with the city, so as to save all possible time in making deliveries. Another important principle to bear in mind is: Keep the wagons or autos going. It is the time lost in waiting for the next trip that necessitates so many extra wagons. Some firms require the signature of the customer for the article delivered. This takes a great deal of time and I doubt whether the satisfaction of being able to prove a delivery in case of dis- pute pays for all the extra time taken. Few complaints arise from failure to make delivery, and usually these errors are due to having obtained a wrong address and can be readily rectified. The C. O. D. Orders. If in your business you have many C. O. D. orders, then purchase a pack- age of C. O. D. stickers from a station- ery store and paste one on each C. O. D. order, at the same time giving the driver a statemettf in an addressed en- velope, in which to keep each C. O. D. ■'■;•; "^ "^JJ »Tg7V7J'VTr?:CBr'^7'"'."'!^^WIfWj', 28 The Weekly Florisb^ Review* ItlABCH 28, 1912. separate. Then, if any dispute arises as to shortage or bad mone^, it is more easilj traced. This plan is carried out successfully by the large department stores. Start your wagons out early in the morning. A driver can deliver much more during daylight. There is no reason why profits on such occasions as Easter or Christmas should not be in proportion to our regular profits. It is natural for a person to get careless when business is rushing and this carelessness costs money. By keeping an eye on all that is going on, you can stop many a small leak and thereby earn many an extra dollar during an Easter rush. Hugo Schroeter. SIMPLIOITT IN EA8TEB BASKETS. For People of Good Taste. For a long time there has been a predilection on the part of people of taste in favor of simple methods of ar- rangement, either of cut flowers or plants, and in no instance has this been more apparent than with reference to plant baskets. The Easter lily is one of the simplest of plants; its beauty lies in this simplicity of outline and purity, and to see it all "fussed up" with half a dozen other and less telling that one customer likes the incongruous mixture is no good reason why it should be forced on all. Some Effective Oomblnati<«iB. An indiscriminate mixture of various foliage plants, such as crotons, dra- caenas and coleus, with lilies, is often practiced, but it is rarely a success. Yet last Easter some of the most suc- cessful arrangements were of Easter lilies and Groton Sunset. The dark color and the somewhat set appearance of the croton were decidedly good. An- other simple yet effective basket was made with lilies and Spiraea Japonica, no other plant being used. In this case the feathery foliage and flowers of the spiraea seemed to act as a foil to the heavier, more decided lines of the lily. Although so frequently used, the aza- lea can hardly be described as a suit- able basket plant. Used alone, it is flat looking and uninteresting, while no other plant contrasts or associates well with it. Erica melanthera and othef heaths, on the other hand, are beauti- ful as basket plants and lend them- selves readily to artistic grouping with other plants. The Smaller Gift Beceptacles. As with baskets, so with the many smaller contrivances used for Easter WiUow Basket of Primuki and Adiantum. varieties is an offense to the artistic eye. That there are many customers who like this kind of mixture can not be denied, and the retailer who has to cater to this class of trade must, in order to do business, give his patrons what they want. But this should not deter others from showing a more taste- ful class of arrangement. The fact presents. The simpler the arrangement, the more effective it is. Well grown small daffodils, with fine flowers and good foliage, are perfect for use in the small gift baskets or boxes and, though common in the usual acceptance of the word, are always a success. In the birch bark receptacles pink flowers al- ways look well against the gray of the bark, and here hydrangeas for the larger and Primula obconica for the smaller ones suggest themselves. When specially shaped receptacles are in use, lily of the valley is fine. It is not heavy enough to hide the outline of the slipper, the cross or whatever else is depicted, yet by its graceful, light nature it prevents any suspicion of flatness or stiffness.

Buy the mate- rials in bulk and mix them as you need them; that is the most economical way. Coat some of the faded baskets with gold, some with bronze, some with green bronze and a few with silver. Bronze baskets with gold trimmings are popular, while green and gold of course are attractive. Some baskets may be recovered later with boxwood on the outside. This may be done by sharp- ening the stems, driving them through the braid and fastening them flat against the outside body of the basket with wire. When filling the basket, see that whatever foliage is used shall harmonize with the boxwood. Two considerations emphasized in these columns before will bear being repeated annually. Don't try to trans- plant a benchful of plants into one basket. So many of these plant bas- kets look uncomfortable! Cluster them, nestle them together, but don't herd them. The other prohibition is, don't set the stems all in vertical lines. Throw some outward. Tip a few so that the tops will show. The Everlasting Color Question. Then there is the everlasting color question bobbing up. A few "don'ts" and a few "does" are in order. Don't associate primulas in pink and cycla- mens in pink. Don't try to mix up crimson ramblers with genistas, yellow tulips or daffodils. Be careful of the pinks and yellows. Salmon pink may associate with soft yellows, but violet pinks with strong yellows are danger- ous experiments. They will take to deep creams and dull bronze cheerfully. Maech 28, 1912. The Weekly Florists' geview- 29 Two Hichly Effective "Ways of FilUne the Same Basket. For yellow bulbous stock try old-gold and golden browns in baskets and ribbon. Covering the soil around plants is sometimes necessary and as often not needed. If you have tall plants or those which are scanty of foliage, then cover the soil either with moss, low ferns or blooming plants, such as pansies or sweet alyssum. The sight of a little patch of soil toward the center or some retired spot is not objectionable, but it is better to have an edge of green at least. If the plants are well grouped some of them will break over an edge somewhere, and if a border is added it will not be a complete one. Suggested Color Schemes. Here are a few good color schemes for plant baskets: A basket filled with adiantum plants, with a cluster of long-stemmed My Maryland roses over the handle. Use a small vase on the handle or in the soil, for the rose stems. A basket of Narcissus poeticus or marguerites with a handle decoration of pink ramblers. For a church decoration or an Easter funeral, a tall basket of callas, one or two plants for the foliage and extra cut callas set into the soil. Combine with this a group of yellow iris at the base of each side of the handle, or train a spray of yellow ramblers over one side of the handle and a cluster of genistas low at the other side. Lilacs and Easter lilies make a choice basket. Suspend a cluster of lavender chiflfon butterflies over the lilies. Trim the handle of a low basket of freesias with Chatenay roses and old- gold ribbon. Have a basket of roses in assorted oolors, looking carefully to the color harmony. It might include Tansend- schom, white ramblers, Unolp John or Golden Gate, Hermosa or Killarney roses. Small bulbous baskets are always good sellers, principally because they can be priced reasonably an^ are bright and showy. Use Von Sions with a touch of mignonette, yellow tulips and blue Dutch hyacinths, valley and pink Romans, lavender, iris and candidums, jonquils and freesias, pink cyclamen HINTS FOB EASTEB BOXES.

Skill and Care in Arrangement. To know a color and its afi&nities on the instant, to see a dozen places where such and such may be used without waiting to try, never to fuss with un- certainty as to results, never to fix over — these are what we must be equal to in order to handle display pieces and orders and make suggestions to cus- tomers. With a more extended variety of flowers than at any other holiday of the year, every box should be a gem with perfect setting. With just the correct touch which small flowers can give, color combinations may be varied and perfect. Realizing that a box seldom reaches its destination just as perfectly ar- ranged as it leaves your hands, take some precautions with the larger flow- ers at least, to secure them just where you lay them in the box. Old boots receive as careful handling when in the hands of ^xtra messengers and drivers. About the first act sees the box upside down and on both ends. It does not take a lawyer to find out what will happen to the tips of those fine Beauty buds or soft lilies. Arrange the flowers as you wish them to appear when the box is opened, and secure them in place by a tie of cord or rib- bon across the stems, which passes through the bottom of the box and around over the lid, tying on top. Ac- cording to the value of the box, make this tying-in material more or less ex- pensive. Secured in this way, they may stand on their heads or stand a shock without damage.

By keeping an eye on all that is going on, you can stop many a small leak and thereby earn many an extra dollar during an Easter rush. Hugo Schroeter. SIMPLICITY IN EASTER BASKETS. For People of Good Taste. For a long time there has been a predilection on the part of people of taste in favor of simple methods of ar- rangement, either of cut flowers or plants, and in no instance has this been more apparent than with reference to plant baskets. The Easter lily is one of the simplest of plants; its beauty lies in this simplicity of outline and purity, and to see it all "fussed up" with half a dozen other and less telling that one customer likes the incongruous mixture is no good reason why it should be forced on all. Some Effective Combinations. An indiscriminate mixture of various foliage plants, such as crotons, dra- ca'nas and coleus, with lilies, is often practiced, but it is rarely a success. Yet last Easter some of the most suc- cessful arrangements were of Easter lilies and Croton Sunset. The dark color and the somewhat set appearance of the croton were decidedly good. An- other simple yet effective basket was made with lilies and Spira-a Japonica, no other plant being used. In this case the feathery foliage and flowers of the spiraea seemed to act as a foil to the heavier, more decided lines of the lily. Although so frequently used, the aza- lea can hardly be described as a suit- able basket plant. Used alone, it is flat looking and uninteresting, while no other plant contrasts or associates well with it. Erica melanthera and other heaths, on the other hand, are beauti- ful as basket plants and lend them- selves readily to artistic grouping with other jilants. The Smaller Gift Receptacles. As with baskets, so with the many smaller contrivances used for Easter Willow Basket of Primulas and Adiantum. varieties is an offense to the artistic eye. That there are many customers who like this kind of mixture can not be denied, and the retailer who has to cater to this class of trade must, in order to do business, give his patrons what they want. Hut this should not deter others from showing a more taste- ful class of arrangement. The fact jiresents. Tho simjder the arrangement, tlio more effective it is. Well grown small daffodils, with fine flowers and good foliage, are perfect for use in the small gift baskets or boxes and, though common in the usual acceptance of the word, are always a success. In the liirch bark receptacles pink flowers al- wnvs look well against the gray of the bark, and here hydrangeas for the larger and Primula obconica for the smaller ones suggest themselves. When specially shaped receptacles are in use, lily of the valley is fine. It is not heavy enough to hide the outline of the slipper, tho cross or whatever else is depicted, yet by its graceful, light nature it prevents any suspicion of tlatness or stiffness. A little care in scdecting suitable jilants for the various decorative recep- tacles is always well repaid in results ami, other things being equal, the sim- pler the methods einployed the better. K.

For a picture box of flowers, lay a frame of fruit boughs in bud or bloom, or branches of tree catkins around the edges of the box as though the group of flowers were the picture and the boughs were the frame. Make frequent use of buds for Easter flower arrangements. Another extra touch, for the outside of the Easter box, may be added by lacing a broad ribbon lengthwise of the box lid and bringing it around for a tie. Of course this will call for an extra wrapping outside. Encourage the use of an appropriate vase or jar with cut flowers, as a jar- diniere or pot cover is used for a plant. The flowers may be arranged in the vase, if delivery is to be made soon, and the purchaser may see just the effect they will have. Lay vase and flowers in the box and secure each in place as already described. This ar- rangement is valuable for patients in hospitals, where it is often impossible to find appropriate vases.

There are some men who never seem to be ready for anything, no matter how much time they have had to pre- pare, while there are others whom an emergency seldom finds off their guard. The differences in the two are readily seen in a retail store at a holiday like Easter. Now, I am not going to give a lot of advice as to this. All I could say has been better said by others. I will simply ask readers: "To which of the foregoing classes do you belong!" and will endeavor to point out one or two things that will surely help at a busy time. The most popular plant for Easter is, of course, the Easter lily. Most stores handle at least a couple of hun- dreds of these, and the wrapping^ should the weather be inclement, is a serious job. Wrapping and Labeling. The retailer who grows his own stock iM%, easily have at least two-thirds ol^ the plants wrapped, with the number of flowers penciled on the wrapper, thi; day before. Orders can be rapidly filled from these in most cases, though occa- sionally a customer wants a certain plant and will take no other. The only course then is to let him or her havt' it and wrap it specially. In many in stances the grower from whom the re tailer purchases his stock is so well known for straight dealing that he can be relied on to pack and number the plants as has just been indicated, and this will also bQ a time-saver. Never label plants or wrapped bas kets on their side, but always on the top, with a tied-on label. When the adhesion label is used on the side and several plants are placed together on the floor of the store or in the wagon, it is impossible to get at the label with- out pushing the hand and arm down be- tween the plants, often to their detri- ment, to say nothing of the loss of time involved. The label on top can be seen at once and handled without pulling the plant or basket about. About Early Orders. It is useless to request customers to give their orders early unless you are prepared to fill them early and fill them right. The customer who is kept wait- ing after being asked to order early is not likely to give an early order next time. All this class of orders should •^ :«^ <-■' •■' -Ant- Ki'^*l ^"■A^^i^jii At the Left, Daffodils and Fusty Willows, with Scotch Heather at tlie Rigfib I'jii'i^ Mabch 28, 1912.

A fine thing to have ready for Easter business is a good stock of. small plants suitable for making up into baskets. Small plants of Bex and other foliage begonias, crotons, ferns, pandanus and neat little specimens of cocos or geon- oma are all useful for the customers who want "something else," besides a lily or azalea, in their baskets. The Extra Help. The help problem is another that has to be considered early. It is folly to wait until everything is behindhand before getting proper help. Where everything is rushed by tired and half- hearted employees, mistakes and over- sights are sure to occur, but with the right kind of help, started early, the proprietor or manager of the store can always be in front of his work, not behind. In short, the * * faculty of being ready " is a mighty useful thing around Easter time. H. HOLIDAY SYSTEM. More Business, Less Bush. "The idea of system as it runs thxough your head is beautiful," some- body says, "but when it comes to the rush your most finely spun system loses out." Yes, it does if you let go of it. It is impossible to handle a rush with- out it. You may escape with your life, going at it haphazard, but your nervous system and your loss and gain account will pay the penalty. In the first place, separate the order and sales departments. Let the sales- men sell; don't hamper them with fill- ing qrders between times. Have a sep- arate room or portion of a room screened off for order work and let this group of workers be undisturbed by requests from customers who wish to Be waited upon. To take care of trade already gained is just as impor- tant as gaining more. In the Order Boom. According to the number of compe- tent people whom you can muster for the order room, arrange your order slips. If there are at least? 4wo ex- perienced people, let one take charge of the shipping and the other take charge of the city deliveries. Each of these files should first be arranged ac- cording to time of delivery, with the first order out on top. Then, as each order is filled and the order sheet checked off, bunch the packages for dif- ferent express offices and districts of the city. Have a separate place for Balloon-shaped Dorothy Perkins. rush orders and special deliveries. Don't burden a delivery man with too long a trip; better make two shorter trips of it. You can get orders out and delivery made before late bedtime. What do sleepy people want of flowers and plants? Before starting to fill orders, have all the necessary articles right at hand — express books, boxes of all sizes, string. ribbon, paper, extra pencils, train schedules, city directory and map, time- piece, order blanks, tags, scissors, knife, hammer and nails, all the bench room and fioor space possible, a stool for a moment's rest now and then, a clean, dry space to write on, fete. Sorting City Orders. If city and shipping orders are sepa- rated and deliveries for set times may be reduced to specials, sort your bunch of orders for the city by districts, get- ting out all the orders for one district first. New orders, which are continu- ally pouring in from the order room, should be placed upon a separate file, to wait until advance orders are filled. According to the accumulation of de- liveries when it is getting late in the day, stop taking delivery orders. There is no limit to what people will ask. They will ask you to deliver immedi- ately at eleven o'clock at night. Pos- sibly for a slight difference in price they will carry their own packages or postpone delivery till the next day. Taking Oliarge of Stock. Stock keeping, if carefully watched, does much to preserve the peace of mind of both customer and shopkeeper. Of course there are extra helpers for the holiday rush and usually the green- house force is drafted into service. These men are accustomed to handling stock. Place one of them, or more if necessary, in charge of storing and keeping tab on the reserve stock. The man or men appointed for this purpose will hand the stock out as wanted and will prevent pulling and hauling and destroying by inexperienced help. How many times it is sickening to see the way in which good stock is destroyed by nervous help! It is better policy to keep only a fair amount of stock on display, and let it sell out quickly and be frequently renewed, than to have it all in view and continually mauled over, and a large proportion spoiled by over- handling, bad air and drafts. Keeping Tab on Oreens. Keep tab on the green goods. An enormous amount may be used in a short time. Let the stock man give warning as it gets low. It is a serious ■T^r 92 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Mabch 28, 1012. inconvenience to have to wait for green. Watch how much goes in with flowers over the counter. Little ex- cept own foliage should be dealt out, unless with extra fine orders. In the arrangement of blooming plants in the salesroom, be sure to sepa- rate varieties and colors. It will be much easier then to make a selection than to roam all over the room picking the choicest plant of a favorite variety. Don't fill up small gaps too promptly; let people see that you are selling and what you are selling, and a choice will be more quickly made. Let there be more business with less work for this rush. G. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EASTEB. Immediate and Future Profits. W«, the retail florists, always feel as though we had been relieved of a heavy load when the Easter rush is over. If you were to ask a student in geometry or trigonometry to divide one square foot into four square feet you would be laughed at and told, "It is impossible." Still, retailers have to do this same thing during an Easter rush. We have to crowd about four to six weeks' business into one week. Is it any wonder, then, that the man at tltv^^ead of the establishment, who has to figure it all out, feels relieved when it is all over and he is still able to look an insanity commission straight iii the facef All this, too, without much if any profit; at least, that is the way we feel when the time comes for settling with the extra help, drivers, etc. Still, my contention is that Easter can be made profitable, not only from a mone- tary point of view, but also from an advertising standpoint. Attracting New Customers. During the year, flower buyers are not apt to wander from store to store as they would at Easter time and the wise florist will take advantage of this fact. If you will take notice, many strange faces will be seen in your establishment at this time and it is up to the retailer to make them regular patrons. First of all, have your windows as attractive as it is possible to make them and this is easy with so much beautiful stock available. Everyone is in the flower-buying mood during Basket-Shaped Trained Plant of Rom Newport Fairy. Easter week and an attractive window will make many an extra sale and bring people into your store. Then aim to have your store as clean and neat as possible. This does not necessarily mean that there must be no leaves or paper on the floor but it means clean corners, clean wood- work, clean windows, clean clerks, clean space under the benches, etc! We all know that a store cannot be swept every time a leaf falls to the floor, but cobwebs will not be excused. In the evenings, when the rush of busi ness is over, have things tidied up for next day. Courtesy to Customers. Instruct all your salespeople to have a word of welcome for your patrons and to request that they come again, even if they bought nothing. In a store where a lar^e business is done and where from eight to ten salespeople are employed during Eas ter week, it would pay to appoint some clean-cut, well-mannered person to act as a sort of floor walker, to see that customers are waited upon in due time and to serve as a sort of "Welcome! Come again!" sign. Of course, regular patrons should not be neglected. In fact, many of these will expect some little deviation from the general rule in the way of delivery, trimming of pots, etc., and it is good policy to cater to these little whims, for it would hardly pay to lose an old customer in the endeavor to make new ones. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Wrappings and Beceptacles. The contents of every box ef flow- ers should be carefully arranged and the box itself should present a neat appearance when it arrives at its des- tination. Plants, also, should have the same careful attention. Where they are not costly enough to warrant cov- ering, at least have the pot free from a season's accumulation of moss and dirt. Paper pot covers can now be bought so cheaply and are so easily applied that their use is becoming al- most universal. This is rightly so, for while M^ all know that plants are grown in "pots, still it is not in good taste to make the pots conspicuous on all occasions, any more than it is in good taste to run around barefooted. When an article, be it a box of flowers or a package of laundry, ar rives at its destination, its appear ance speaks louder than words. See that your packages, when delivered, have a good word to say for you and your methods. Wlien Mistakes Happen. Errors are bound to occur during Easter week. Cards will be lost, or- ders overlooked, lilies broken; perhaps some funeral order will be delivered after the ceremony. Sucih mistakes will happen, but, when a customer advises you of such an error, do not sail into him hammer and tongs with complaints about the awful Easter rush. Let your patron see that you are sin- cerely sorry and do all you cam to satisfy him, even though he may be a little too severe under the circum- stances. Do this as a matter of policy- From an advertiser's standpoint, you can surely make Easter bring good returns if your store is managed right If you have anything in the way March 28, 1912.

If the store has a suit of Sunday clothes, put it on during Easter week; it will pay in the long run. Hugo Schroeter. FINISH TO EASTEB PLANTS. Where Some Growers Fail. Nothing so plainly shows the diflPer- ence between the experienced and the inexperienced plantsman as what is termed "finish" to flowering or foliage plants. While the term is as good as could be selected, it is not, perhaps, wholly descriptive, but it is sufficiently so to be well understood. A plant lacks finish if it is growing in too large' a pot to look well. This shows that the grower expected it to do better things and in some way has missed it. The experienced grower will always strive to get the most possible out of a certain size of pot, for he knows well that, when the plant comes into the retailer 's hands, the smaller the pot the better he is able to use it for furnishing, for bas- ket or vase work, or even for retailing directly as a specimen. A Vital Difference. Take the case of azaleas for Easter. It may be said that an azalea, when im- ported, has just so many buds to open and all that is necessary is to place the plants in heat at a certain time and to send them out when ready. But why does one man always turn out an at- tractive plant, neat and trig looking, with good color of flowers and foliage, and another send out a plant with half of the flowers past their best and the foliage dull and wilted f It is due to lack of knowledge as to how to put the finishing touch to them. It is like comparing a suit of clothes of the "hand-me-down" type with one from an up-to-date tailor. Slap-dash Growers. Doubtless there are many growers who can not put this finish to their plants; they can hardly tell the differ- ence between the finished and the un- finished product. But these are in the minority. What causes the trouble with most growers is a kind of slap-dash treatment of their plants.

The former was a willow basket stained with a stripe of greenish yellow around the middle, green below and dark green above. Planted full of daflfodils, with the soil covered with moss and a few fine pussy willows added, it was a popu- lar arrangement. The pink heather was ' ' ' in a natural willow basket with pink ribbon and presented an equally pleas- ing color combination, but did not take so well with the buyers. Such inexpensive articles as . are shown in the illustration on page 31 always are ready sellers in any first- class flower store. They do not appeal to the people who are looking for some- thing showy, but people who have plenty of money, and whose friends also have the means of providing for themselves all the more elaborate things they need, like to exchange iijf^^e un- pretentious arrangements. The recep- tacle has as much influence as tMe plant in effecting the sales. With the stock of the modern supply house to draw upon, an infinite variety of these in- expensive arrangements can be pro- vided.

In a first-class flowed store, where they were photo- graphed last Easter, they proved ready sellers at $10 each. The little picture on page 29 shows a spiraea in a basket of unique shape, like «a inverted Mexican sombrero. This mis Gladstone and the basket was blue. Queen Alexandra was shown in the cotta jar. Next is a primula in a white china dish. The erica is in a blue and white receptacle. The fernery in the center is planted with Primula vQria, P. obconica and, sopie small ferns. Tlie begonia is in the same kind of poi as the erica. On the right is a cineraria in the same vase but of a different shape. The small illustration pn page 31 is a balloon-shape trained plant of the Dofothy Perkins rose set into a white willow pot cover that had big mouse- ear handles. The ribbon was light pink, in keeping with the color of the flowers of the rose. The rose basket shown on JjAge 32 is too expensive a plant to seirin any number except in the highest class stores, but one or two such novelties are an<^cellent investment for any store, even if not sold at all, for the advertis- ing value is great. People will go out and tell their friends about it; even advise them to; drop in at the 'store to see it. The variety is Newport Fairy. It is one of the trained plant* flowered in 1911 by the Robert Craig Co., Phila delphia. As it stood, in its basket pot cover, in the retail store in which it was photographed, a thousand miles from the greenhouses, only $15 was asked for it. The lily is the typical Easter flower and, however large a business is done in other plants, more people will want lilies than will call for any other one item of stock. Where cheap trade is done it still may do to offer the lily in the pot in which it was forced, but even then most of the retailers find it necessary to cover the pot with crepe paper. In the higher class stores mats and ribbon are used, or the lilies are shifted to some better receptacle, such as those shown in the illustration on page 33. Note that in one case the base of the lily is surrounded by small ferns, while in another there are a num- ber of pussy willows. The heather in the single column il- lustration 0*^. page 33 was planted in the pan in the basket and sold without trimming. The basket was natural wil- low, the bottom square but the top round. The soil was covered with green sheet moss, which is a finishing touch many who fill baskets and jardinieres are apt to forget. We often are told that the Crimson Eambler has had its day, but in such made up plant baskets as that shown on this page it has a place that nothing else will fill and it still sells well. With it was Pandanus Veitchii, Nephrole- pis superbissima and Asplenium nidus avis. The basket was willow, white enameled, and the ribbon was foliage green. Azalea mollis and Bhododendron Pink Pearl are two of the subjects which, if well done, are fine Easter plants. An excellent example of each is shown in the illustration on page 35. Note how effectively the one defect of the azalea, the absence of foliage, is supplied by the use of the superbissima fern. The color of the Eoman pottery harmonizes with the color tone in the flowers. The rhododendron has the simplest possible treatment, but nothing could be more effective, for the pink chiffon mat and the pink ribbon with which it is tied are in perfect harmony with the soft tint of the big flower heads. There were nyacinths, candytuft and superbissima ferns in the low basket shown on page 36. The basket may be had finished in any number of colors, and there are just as many ways of filling it effectively. The boronia is an Easter plant not uncommon in the eastern markets, but not often seen in the west. The erica also is more largely «-own t^lpng the Atlantic tKfn it is )i>esiae the lakfs and rivers.

If one has the idea that plants are crowding cut flowers at Easter, it is erroneous. Of course the sale of plants is large, but so is the sale of cut flow- ers. The Easter plants are a great deal easier to illustrate than are the Easter cut flowers. There is not much material for a photograph in the retailer's stock of roses, carnations, violets and lilies. Nor are they easy to show in the store in other than the every-day shape. Per- haps that's one reason why plants have had so much popularity since they be- gan to be shown in such attractive form for Christmas and Easter. But it is possible to show cut flowers in a novel manner, too. On pages 38 and 39 are two groups of cut flower arrangements picked in a leading western store last Easter. These were samples only. The florist used them to take orders for loose cut flowers, but he also took orders to duplicate any of the arrangements, receptacle and all, at any designated place on Easter morning — and that such orders are numerous anyone can tell by a glance at the illustrations. THE GLASS MARKET. Jobbers of window glass express themselves as having no doubt that the recent sharp advance in prices will hold and some of them say they look for a further advance in greenhouse sizes because of the fact that the fac- tories have practically none on hand and no great quantities are likely to be manufactured before the end of the present fire, May 25. It is well under- stood that the smaller sizes are a sort of byproduct of the glass business — it pay* ■§le factojrtesjnuch better to make the'lSfi^e'r'''Bizes,'Dut ili Aiijcing these there is a part of each sheet that must be cut to the smaller sizes. This pro- portion is kept at the minimum: the factories will not cut the greenhouse sizes to order except at a price ^consid- erably above the market. There is to be another readjustment of glass work- ers' wages immediately after the end of the present fire, and on it will depend, to a large extent, the price of glass next season, but it is well within the possibilities that the market will rise during the summer, especially if the early demand continues, for it has been exceptionally heavy this year, j^^-^'' BEGONIA GLORY OF CINCINNATI. As Compared with Lorndne. While some growers persiet'^it giving Begonia Glory of Cincinnati~a15ad name a^ a market plant, saying that it does not branch as fireely as the older Gloire de Lorraine, there is no-xpiestion about its superiority as a market plant when well grown, or of its lasting properties in the store or after delivery to cus- tomers. Having grown the two side by side and noted the peculiarities of each, I am of the opinion that those who find fault with Cincinnati do not treat it correctly. It is trtie that the shoots made do not branch so freely as those of the older variety, but it pushes up more of them from the base and the larger, more persistent flowers make a better display.

Use clear -water only, spray the plants freely, keep them clear of aphis and move to a somewhat cooler house as they open. C. W. THE EASTER WINDOW. The tendency is to put too much in the window. To impress the public with the size of the stock carried it may be all right to crowd the window as full as it will hold, but there never is any- thing about such a window display to suggest to those who see it that here is a man who is master of his art, who knows how to convey with flowers the finer sentiments. To the one who crowds his window, flowers usually are mer- chandise, nothing more. The best window displays invariably are the simpler ones — they carry a mes- sage. For an Easter display try such a simple decoration as the Koropp window shown on this page and note how much greater attention it attracts than the one that is a jumble of stock, a riot of color. TO DESTROY EARTHWORMS. Will you kindly inform me whether I can safely use carbon bisulphide to destroy the angleworms and grubs which bore and plow through our panay seed beds, outdoors, destroying a large portion of our best seed before it has time to come up? How long >before sowing time should the carbon bisul- phide be used, or is there any liquid sterilizing material on the market which would be better or more safe to uset W. C. W. There are several special worm erad- icators on the market, one of which is called the Badix^^and is jnanufac- -tured l)y the Bon A^lior Cheteical Co., Paterson, N. J. This comes in liquid form and is much used on newly, seeded lawns, being applied preferably after a rain, through an ordinary watering pot with rose attached. It does not injure grass or any growing plants on which I have used it. Carbon bisul- phide can be used just before seeding, or even when the seedlings are up. It will not injure them in the least. Holes should be bored twelve to eighteen inches apart each way and a teaspoon- ful should be placed in each hole, im- mediately covering it. Sterilization by steam would, of course, destroy all earthworms, grubs, weed seeds, fungi, etc., where there are facilities for us- ing this method. An application of lime and soot a month before sowing, incorporating them well in the soil, will make it distasteful for worms and grubs. A light application of gas lime the spring previous to sowing is also excellent. C. W. IT IS A TRITONIA. Enclosed under separate cover you will find a freesia which flowered with me for two years. Is there any on the market of that shade, or is there any value in this bulb for florists. F. T. This is Tritonia crocata, a South African bulb, allied to gladioli, mont- bretias and sparaxis, and not a freesia at all. It is seen in limited quantities each winter in the larger flower mar- kets and proves quite popular with critical flower buyers. C. W- ,w-lfc> ^ V -Av t: ^.

The busiest season of the year with the grower of pot plants will soon be here. While cut flowers are sold in large quantities, they are each year be- coming less of a factor when compared with pot plants, and it will be noticed that the average Easter prices for cut flowers are no higher, and in some cases lower, than those obtained at Memorial day. There is much to be done between now and Easter to have flowering plants look presentable. Above all things, have pots, pans and tubs scrupulously clean. See that all plants requiring it are neatly staked, and use stakes painted green, if you have them or can procure them, as they look much neater than those generally used. Then, again, do not use white twine if you have green twine or rafSa. These little points, seemingly unimportant to many, mean much when it comes to selling plants. We never know how the Easter weather will be and must, therefore^ be pre- pared for eventualities. An abundant supply of newspapers and other wrap- ping paper should be on hand, as it will never do to send out plants exposed to the elements in frosty weather. You are probably handling some hard- wooded plants, such as acacias, ericas, boronias, azaleas, etc. Be sure never to allow them to get really dry; it will mean the loss of many of the flowers and perhaps the plants themselves, if you do so. Then, again, remember the thirsty nature of spiraeas, hydrangeas, marguerites, rambler roses and others, and see that they are well watered. When shipping plants lo your customers. it is good policy to hang tags on each, stating whether they should be watered once or more daily. Try to fill orders promptly, and no not promise shipments when you know you cannot send them on time. Foinsettias. ■** * While there is yet ample time in which to start the poinsettias, it is a good plan to look over the stock plants and be sure that they are all right. Perhaps you are accustomed to root an early batch and later plant them out in a bench, or, as some prefer, grow them singly in 6-inch pots, and where bracts eighteen inches in diameter and upwards are wanted, some of the plants should be started now. Do not water too freely at first, or you are liable to lose many of your stock plants. Where plants are wanted for pans only it is yet rather early to start poinsettias. Achimenes. Achimenes are useful summer bloom- ing plants in pots, pans or baskets, and last a long time in flower when they can be afforded fte necessary protection from the sun's rays. Points to remem- ber about achimenes are that they are liable in the early stages of growth to become infested with thrips unless care- fully fumigated or sprayed, that they like a light but moderately rich com- post, and should never be sprayed over- head. Start the corms in flats of sand. Place them in their flowering receptacles before they have made much growth. While they appreciate warm house treat- ment until we get warmer weather, they need only a cool, airy and shaded green- house. A few fine achimenes are: Mar- garetta, large white; longiflora major splendid dark blue; Aurora, delicate mauve; Mauve Queen, light purple- Rose Queen, rose lake, and Ambrose Verschaffelt, white with violet lines. Mahemla Odorata. That old, rather insignificant but nevertheless sweet and popular plant, Mahernia odorata, is now in flower. It makes a good basket subject, and if grown in pots should be trained over a light wire frame, not too formally but just sufficiently to keep it erect. As the plants pass out of flower, head them back somewhat. A number of shoots suitable for propagating purposes will be found, which will root readily in an ordinary cutting bench. Cuttings in- serted now and kept potted on will make nice stock in 5-inch to 6-incb pots or pans for flowering next Feb- ruary and March. If you have never grown this plant, secure a few and try it. The culture is of the simplest. One point to remember is that it wants a cool house; 45 degrees at night will suffice. In a warm house it will come almost blind. Perennial Phlox. The clumps of phlox lifted last fall and planted in a cold house will now be yielding an abundant crop of cuttings. Keep inserting these in the propagating bench before they become too long. When rooted, if for your own use, plant in flats; if to sell, pot off singly. If you have no stock lifted, take cut- tings from plants outdoors as soon as procurable. They can be planted direct- ly from the cutting bench to nursery rows outdoors, provided a cool, moist day is selected for the work. These spring rooted phloxes will each produce one large head of bloom next summer, better heads by far than are carried on the older clumps, which, as they become crowded, deteriorate in size.

Gardenia plants which have not been grown too warm will now be giving a fine spring crop of high-grade flowers. Provided these are in pots, they will be found quite salable Easter plants. Of course, they will not sell as well as rambler roses, lilies, genistas or Dutch bulbous stock, but those who are look- ing for something choice are glad to get them and pay a good price for them. Before sending out any plants, make sure that they are clean and that no clusters of mealy bugs are hanging about them. Where plants are going out of flower and are making new growth, this is an opportune time to take a good batch of cuttings. They root most quickly from heel puttings, but those cut through with a knife will also root freely. Give them a close frame if possible, in a warm, moist house, and a brisk bottom heat. Do not be afraid to keep them well soaked with water and few will fail to root. Pmning Hardy Climbers. ^ho pruning q| iardy climbers can MT^ttef >t any *'li[Hprt^yi|l|H weather in wihter.

Clematis paniculata should be cut back quite bard; as a result, it will grow more vig- orously and will soon cover any allotted space. Wistarias, begonias, vitis, acti- nidias, aristolochias and others want pruning now. Loniceras, ampelopsis, the climbing hydrangeas and celastrus will not need much pruning, but any dead or dying wood should be removed. Climbing roses can be pruned after other climbers are done. Cut away dead, dying and weak wood only, and shorten back the strong canes a little. Last sea- son's canes from the base are what we depend on for next summer's bloom. Bemoving Winter Protection. The winter just closing has been one of unusual severity and the frost has penetrated to a greater depth than has been known for years in many sections. It is yet too early to estimate what damage has been done, but if winter mulching was carefully done it is safe to say that the death roll will be greatly minimized. It is in the late winter and early spring that the greatest damage is done, particularly to plants which were not mulched. Bulb beds, peren- nial borders, etc., will be showing signs of activity, and in some states the win- ter covering is, no doubt, already re- moved, but in the colder states it is al- ways wise to make haste slowly in its removal. March and, to some extent, early April are treacherous; some days will remind us of the tropics and those following of lih%.ft59J4cft., ^14 .t^ |?JRter mulch is removed with the first warm days, we usually have cause to regret it. Eather than remove it all, take away a portion at first, leaving sufficient to cover the plants. If this is not done, the plants are liable to sustain consid- erable of a check if they get two or three hard freezings, succeeded, as they usually are, by bright sunshine. As to pansies in the field, it is not yet safe to take off the winter covering. However, if it is in any place packed down heav- ily, loosen it up, but do not leave the plants exposed yet a while. Chrysanthemum Cuttings. While it is yet much too early to put in chrysanthemum cuttings for single stems, except it may be for exhibition flowers, the present is an opportune time to take a batch of cuttings of such varieties as are needed for pot cul- ture. The average florist does not have much call for large specimen plants, any more than he nowadays has for big blooms, but rooted at this time nice plants can be produced. Be careful to select varieties of a dwarf babit^ as tall kinds are of little use commer- cially.

Since the publication of my paper on "Gladioli as a Special Crop," in The Review of March 7, I have received several inquiries from The Review's readers regarding the proper or best method of handling cut gladioli for shipment, such inquiries being prompted by that portion of my paper which refers to wilting the flowers before packing. May I encroach upon your columns to explain and further substan- tiate my contention f It is a fact which is easily demon- strated, that if gladiolus spikes are cut, placed in water long enough for them to revive and stiffen the , petals of the flowers, then it is next to impos- sible to pack any number of such spikes without creasing or cracking some of the petals, and if this is once done the flower is worthless. After being wilted, the flowers are limp or passive and offer little resistance in packing; hence they are not damaged to the extent the stiff flowers would be. Of course, one could go to an ex- treme in wilting and injure the spike; good judgment should be exercised in this matter. I stated that we allowed the flowers to wither "lying upon the ground for an hour or two," but modi- fied this by saying "according to the temperature." In some sections and under extreme temperatures, fifteen minutes might be long enough. The point is to have the petals in such con- dition that they will not bruise, and I stated the method used at my place. I claim, also, that there is a great advantage in having the spikes stand- ing in the packages. It is not neces- sary for a skeptical grower to actuaUy make a shipment to demonstrate these facts. Pack four shipments of, say, 100 or 200 spikes each, standing and lying down, and treat two shipments with water and wilt two, and hold them in what would be considered the tem- perature of an express car, say for twelve or twenty-four hours, but in the meantime don't forget to bang the shipments about a few times to make them think they are in the hands of the express company. Then open them, cut off the ends of the spikes, place in water and judge for yourself which is the best way to handle them. Arthur Cowee. IDEALS IN GLADIOLUS QBOWING. May I be permitted to say a few words in reference to C. Betscher's article on "Hybridization of Gladioli," on page 22 of The Review of March 14 f I suppose he has his own par- ticular reasons for selecting as an ideal a gladiolus seven feet tall. Ye gods and little fishes! Why not have them eight feet or, better, ten feet tallf Evidently the wind is not boisterous in his part of Ohio, or perhaps he would provide a root system to match, which would insure a safe anchorage. In case one should happen to become lost in a field of such gladioli, no doubt a plant could be found strong enough to be climbed, in order to take an observation to determine one's bear- ings. It seems to me that there are nearly as many different ideals as there are growers, and that they are prone to run to extremes. At present many of our most noted specialists are fever- ishly striving to produce the clearest white, without any mark or touch of color whatever. Such a result, in my opinion, would partake more of the outre than the artistic, besides being unnatural, which is proved by the lack of constitution in most of the super- white sorts. Another notion is that we must have larger and still larger flow- ers, seven, eight inches or more in diameter — the bigger the better. To my mind, it is far better to work for a combination of well balanced vir- tues, rather than seek to develop abnormally any one particular char acteristic, which, though it may be spectacular and may attract the atten- tion for a time, does not possess the charm and holding power of some more conservative sort. In closing I should like to inquire whether Mr. Betscher has succeeded in eliminating the hooded form of the flowers of Primulinus hybrids, which hitherto has been considered one of their chief defects. H. E. Meader. BOSTON IVY. We have tried several times to grow Boston ivy from seed, and although we get the seed from a reliable firm, few ever come up. In what temperature do they succeed the best and what other treatment would you recommend? W. M. B. Boston ivy, Amelopsis Veitchii, is of easy germination, provided you secure fresh seed. Sow in a compost of leaf - mold and sand and give an average night temperature of 60 degrees until it germinates. It is better grown 10 degrees cooler when well started and the seedings should be potted off singly before they become too crowded. Get some more seed from a first-class firm, sow at once and you still have time to grow nice plants !for next year's sales. This is one of the plants that is gaining steadily in the favor of the public. C. W. MUMS IN NEW ORLEANS. I am about to make my first trial of new mums for the New Orleans market and would like to receive a little ad- vice from you. The following are the varieties: MUe. Margaret Desjouis, Smith's Advance, White Cloud, Unaka, Donatello. When will be the proper time to plant, the time to stop, and to take the bud? What bud should be taken on each of themt How long will it take for them to mature? These plants are to be grown in New Orleans in the open field, to be covered with cotton. Can any of those named be in full flower by October 25 1 If not, can you tell me what variety has the same qualities as the G. S. Kalb, only larger and whiter? It is right up to time; never fails when the Mrs. Robinson is far behind. A. W. I am not familiar with conditions that obtain in the mum belt of New Orleans and this grower had better con- sult some of her florist neighbors. The variety most largely grown is, of course, Mrs. Robinson. I have been in- formed by florists in that vicinity that varieties such as Smith's Advance, White Cloud and Donatello, or early va- rieties like those mentioned, do not come good in that section. It would seem to me that Desjouis would possi- bly do well there. Any of the varieties above named can be in full flower eas- ily in the north, but I am not fa- miliar with conditions in the south, or whether any florist has tested Smith's Advance there, in quantity, I cannot state. It is a great advance on G. S. Kalb, which the correspondent men- tions as being good. As to buds, the last days in August and early in Sep- tember seem to be accepted as about the proper time in Louisiana for best results. C. H. T. THRIPS ON CUTTINGS. We are sending under separate cover a few Bonnaffon cuttings which you will see are peculiarly affected. We have not been able to tell whether it was the work of an insect or fungus. We have used Aphine at the strength for red spider, also Fungine. We do not believe either one is helping the trou- ble. C. L. H. The cuttings of Bonnaffon forwarded to us were badly infested with thrips. If C. L. H. will use a microscope he wiU see thousands of them on the foli- age. I noticed he has used Aphine at the strength for red spider. The only trouble with any spraying solution on thrips lies in the fact that it is almost impossible to hit the insects with an insecticide. One application will not do it; neither will two; but persistent use of Aphine will clean out thrips. Perhaps the quickest way would be to fumigate heavily and persistently with tobacco dust, followed by spraying on bright days. C. H. T. Masch 28, 1912.

Connor, of Philadelphia, Pa., read before the Lancaster Florists' Club, at Lan- caster, Pa., March 21, 1912.] The subject which you assigned me is so well known to most of the commer- cial growers that I feel there is little left for me to add. However, I am glad to tell you what I know and what I have observed in my connection with this work. The first thought in planning to build greenhouses should be to construct them 80 that you can get the best possible conditions for plant life under glass. We now have fifty-seven varieties of greenhouse construction, made up in various widths and lengths. There seem to be two styles that are preferred, the single wide house and the ridge and furrow plan. I believe equal results can be had from both styles of houses. The Sidge and Furrow House. The ridge and furrow is now built with high gutter lines, seven to ten feet, and by this plan we get more direct light and a larger air space, whicli is desirable. We also obtain this same condition in the wide single house. In my conversation with many flo- rists who have both styles of houses, I find they claim that the ridge and fur- row house is cooler in the summer months; it is easier to repair and the cost of building is about the same. You are able to get more ventilation and for some crops this is important. With high gutter lines we do not have any trouble with the drafts that are objec- tionable in the connected houses with low gutter lines. Tbe Single Wide House. The single wide house that so many growers are building, forty to seventy- five feet wide and built in lengths, seems to bring out the proper results, but unless you can build this house in long lengths they will be found expen- sive to erect, as the gable ends cost the same. We have a great many growers who prefer the large, single wide house, but, as I said before, good results can be had from both styles of houses. Grow- ers often find that they have to adopt a certain style of house to meet the surrounding conditions, grade of ground, limited space in which to build, etc. Solidity of Construction. The modern greenhouse is a combina- tion of glass, wood, iron and concrete. The first and most important considera- Mon in building a greenhouse should be to build proper foundations. These, as you know, are made of concrete and iron posts and should be of the best ma- terials to stand the strain and take care •f tk« roof construction. It is a com- mon fault for growers to build light side walls and weak gable ends. The roofs of all greenhouses should be built of good material and made suflSciently strong to carry the loads which they are obliged to meet, the weight of snow and the wind pressure which have to be taken care of. If you stop to think that the heating, glass, glaring, painting and erecting cost the same, no matter how cheap the construction is made, you will see that a few dollars more will be well spent in using better materials. The Iron Gutters. The ridge and furrow houses are built with channel-iron and cast-iron gutters; both kinds will outlast, the life of any greenhouse and should be used in place of wood gutters. Iron gutters are easier to erect, xequire fewer posts and are an important feature in tying the houses together. In the semi-iron construction pipe purlins and columns are used to support the roof. I believe this style to be the best for ridge and furrow houses up to thirty-five feet wide. I feel sure it is a mistake to cut out pipe columns or supports of the houses, as this would put the strain on the roof and sides. I am sure that houses built of light truss work will only last a short time and constant re- pairing will be required. I am not in favor of truss construction unless the materials that are used are sufficiently strong to make the house rigid. Houses forty feet wide or over should be built of flat rafter construction. We are using this material in all our wide houses and we find them the most eco- nomical houses to build. The iron work is fitted and worked out at the fac- tory, so that the erection of the flat rafter style is made easy when it reaches the grower. Setting the Glass. Another important matter in building wide houses is to build the gables strong and rigid. It is much easier to make the gable strong with iron frame con- struction. I>uring the past winter we have had a great many wind and snow storms that made trouble for the florists. I have had a great many reports of glass being blown out and considerable damage done by the frost, and in most cases it was where the construction was weak and the glass set the 24-inch way. I believe most of the growers are satis- fied to space the glass the 16-inch way. This makes the houses strong and, with the use of small sashbars, sufficient light can be had. The glass should be bedded in putty and securely fastened with zinc glazing nails, and the glass should be lapped. I know that in your section a great many florists prefer to butt the glass. ■ We can point out a [Ooncladed on pace 133.] CABNATION CULTURE. [A paper by G. F. Neipp, of Chatham, N. J., read before the MorrU County Gardeners' and Florists' Society, at Madison, N. J., March 13, 1912.] Within the last fifteen years more progress has been made in the culture of the carnation than of any other flow- er. Yet, when we visit the flower mar- kets of the large cities we find alongside of the finest carnations lots of poor ones, and one cannot help asking the question. Why do florists keep on grow- ing such rubbish, that never pays for the work, not to say expenses? There is no excuse whatever, since there is no longer any secret in carnation culture and it does not cost any, or only a little more, to produce good flowers than poor ones. , Good carnations can even be produced in small houses, if they receive the proper treatment, and yet I have seen produced in good, up-to-date houses the poorest carnations I ever laid my eyes on. Ignorance is no excuse, since we can read articles on carnation culture from the best authors in the country nearly every week in our trade papers. We can get plenty of information in our societies and we do not need to go far to see good carnations grown in an up- to-date establishment. But the trouble is mostly that these so-called carnation growers are too conceited to look for any information, or, like some fellows I have met, they would not believe any- body. Others gather all information they can get, but have not the brains to work it out. If somebody suggested that their carnations needed feeding, they would overdo it; or if told that they keep their plants too dry, or too 42 The Weekly Florists' Review. Mabch 28, 1912. wet, or the houses too warm or cold, they would fall into the other extreme. I once had a neighbor who had four small greenhouses and always kept them too warm. He never had any suc- cess with carnations; yet he said that if he had the money he would keep the houses at 90 to 100 degrees for car- nations, and I now think he has only one greenhouse instead of four. Propagating a^ Transplanting. As in any other plant culture, in car- nation culture propagation is the foun- dation upon which to build up the struc- ture necessary to success. Therefore the greatest care should be given to the eelection of the stock and the produc- tion of healthy and well rooted cuttings. Many cuttings are spoiled by putting them too deep in the sand, shading too much, keeping too wet or too warm, and also by waiting too long before pot- ting them up. They should be potted as soon as all cuttings which are placed in the sand at the same time are rooted. Some will have a little longer roots than others, but this cannot be helped. I use 2V^-inch pots and a good, live soil, without any addition of manure or fertilizer. As soon as the pots are full of roots, but before the plants get potbound, and while it is too early to plant in the field, we knock out the plants and plant them in a bench, or sometimes in a coldframe, according to season and weather, using about the same kind of soil as in potting. As soon as lateral shoots start to show on the bottom, we pinch out the main shoot. The young plants should be kept in a light house, with plenty of ventilation, and the temperature kept cool. It is of much importance to have the crown of the roots never covered more than one-half inch, as this pre- vents stem-rot and insures a healthy growth. As I only practice field culture, I shall not touch upon pot culture. Planting in the Field. It is of much importance what kind of soil and location is available. The soil should not be too heavy or too light, but almost any kind can be used if properly treated. I prefer a field almost level or with a slight slope, so as to give water no chance of stand- ing after rain, but not steep enough to make washing out possible. The field should be well manured in August or September of the previous year, and plowed and harrowed several times. A late plowing should be done in November and the surface left in a rough condition. No field should be se- lected that lacks good drainage. In the same manner we prepare our bench soil, only we manure it more heavily and keep on plowing and har- rowing until we bring the soil inside. The field to receive the young plants is plowed again in spring as soon as the soil is dry enough, and the surface is smoothed off with the harrow. As soon as steady weather can be expected, all hands join in planting out, planting in rows fifteen to eighteen inches apart. Again I see to it that the plants are not planted too deep — just a little bit deeper than they stood in the pots. ^learning What Not to Do. This reminds me of my first experi- ence with carnations in this country, seventeen years ago. It was my first job in a plant-growing establishment of sixteen or eighteen rather small houses. Three of the houses were devoted to [The letter below is a spontaneous expression of the advertisers' satisfaction— unsolicited.] CABLI AOMItU ^VANDAL* rMIIAOtlMtlA A-S.C COOK U*C» A:Co. iiii^sttPW!riiiiii» Uarch 16, 1913.^^ The Florists' Ravlew, Cazton Building, 508 8.

Steno M W carnations, but I started in March and the houses looked more like geranium houses, as most of the carnations had died and geraniums in 4-inch pots took their place. We also had probably 10,- 000 young carnation stock in a sash house, some in pots, the others in flats with about two inches of soil, and all looking as yellow as a lemon. When planting time came we brought them out to the field, pots, flats and all. From the flats we had to cut them out in squares and then the boss told us to plant as deep as possible, showing me, as a greenhorn, how deep, which was about two inches soil about the roots. The soil being very sandy — in fact, all sand — I did not wonder much about deep planting, but I found out later, when many plants rotted off just above the ground after some heavy rains. In the latter part of August they were to be benched. The boss, with his brother, did the planting and I had the pleasure of bringing in the plants. This, of course, gave me a chance to see how they did it. They dug a big hole in the soil, nearly to the bottom, stuck the plants away down, and the ends of the roots, which were long and few, stuck up. Then the hole was filled up and the ends of the roots frequently stuck out of the soil. I could not help asking, "Do you expect these plants to grow?" The answer was, "They don't need to grow; they must only flower. The growing was done in the field." I was thoroughly speechless, but thought this must certainly be a great country if they could make carna- tions flower without growing. But one day a friend asked me how I liked the job and I said, "First-rate; I think it's a good place to learn how things should not be done," and he laughed. 1 did not stay much longer, but had a chance to carry out a good percentage of those plants to the dump heap, and the next spring I had a look at the houses, but most of the plants were gone, the geraniums taking their place again. Preparing for Benching. But to come back to the field. We start cultivating with the wheel hoe as soon as planting is over, going through once a week. As soon as the plants have made some growth, topping com- mences, to form the plant and also to prevent flowering, which would only stop the growth to some extent. By July 1 the plants should be large enough to be benched, and as the old plants are usually thrown out there is no reason why preparation ought not to be made. After the old plants and soil are carted out, the benches ought to receive a thorough cleaning and white- washing, and also all the necessary painting should be done before the benches are filled again. As soon as the soil is on the benches, all hands have to get busy and get the benching done in short order, one or more planting and the others digging and bringing in. Care should be taken to leave some soil on the roots, as the plants will grow on much more quickly. As soon as a number are planted, they should be wa- tered. But I would not soak the bench all through at once, but would rather go over the same place three or four times until the soil is all moist, but not too wet, as root action will be slower in an extremely wet soil. The house should always be well ventilated and the atmosphere kept as cool as possible. Treatment in the House. I put no shade on after benching, but a light shading in spring, which gradu- ally wears off. Watering for the first few weeks should be done carefully. ■ [Concluded on page 70.] MASCH 28. 1012.

A. OBITUARY. Herman Maenner. Herman Maenner, widely known as a grower of holiday and bedding plants on Long Island, died March 20. Mr. Herman Maenner. Maenner was born November 12, 1861, at Ebringen, Germany. He served his apprenticeship at the establishment of a cousin, Karl Maenner, at Ravenburg, Wurtemberg. After that he worked for seversil years at the botanical gardens at Zurich, Switzerland, going thence to Sander & Son, at St. Albans, England. He came to the United States in 1888, finding employment at Easton, Pa., as head gardener for Prof. Eyerman. In 1890 he started in business for himself at Maspeth, specializing on hot plants. He was a member of the New York Florists' Club, the New York and New Jersey Plant Growers' Association and the New York Cut Flower Exchange. A widow is left, also a brother, B. J. Maenner, who will look after the busi- ness. Patrick McEenna. At the advanced age of 93 years, Patrick McKenna, one of the pioneers of the craft in Canada, passed away March 14. Mr. McKenna started as a gardener in Cote des Neiges sixty-one years ago, finding his market in Mon- treal. He proceeded to build up a busi- ness, which later became known as that of McKenna & Son. He retired from active work twenty years ago, leaving the management of affairs to his son, James McKenna. He was born in Cavan county, Ireland, and came over in 1847. His son, James McKenna, was a coun- cilor and mayor of Cote des Neiges before annexation to Montreal, and an alderman of the city after it. Mrs. McKenna survives her husband. She is 84 years of age. Besides the son, James, there are three daughters, four grandsons and two granddaughters. The funeral took place March 16, from the family residence to Cote des Neiges church, and afterward to Cote des Neiges cemetery. Fred Weber. Fred Weber, one of the most suc- cessful of the Beauty growers for the Chicago market, died at his home at 2 a. m., March 23. He was 46 years of age, a native of Germany, but for all his business life a resident in the greenhouse colony north of Chicago. By a coincidence, his death came exactly three years to the day after the death of his brother, Ernst, with whom he started in business. The Weber brothers came to America while young men. They were masters of the art of plant growing, and, rent- ing what is known as the Grossman place in Chicago, they made an imme- diate success. The partnership con- tinued for ten years, until 1903. At its dissolution Ernst Weber continued the original business, until his death. Fred purchased nearby vacant property and started with one 300-foot house, planted to Beauties. He soon became known as one of the most uniformly successful growers of this somewhat capricious flower. The plant now is four times the original size. Mr. Weber 's death may be attributed to the perils of rose growing — while at work March 15 he scratched his hand, pre- sumably on a rose thorn. The result was an infection which resulted in blood poison. It was not until March 18 that a physician was called, and then it was too late. Erysipelas was an added complication. Mr. Weber was a stockholder and di- rector in the E. C. Amling Co., Chicago. He is survived by a widow and two sons, one 18 years of age, the other 16. Both sons have recently been critically ill, the elder having just recovered from a dangerous attack of typhoid, and the younger still being in a seri- ous condition with an ailment which threatens to destroy his sight. The fun- eral was held Monday afternoon, March 25, and was largely attended, most of the growers in the big green- house district north of Chicago being present. There were many flowers. Mrs. Albert F. Vick. Mabel Given Vick, wife of Albert F. Vick, died March 18, aged 34 years. The funeral was held March 20 and was largely attended, for Mr. Vick is one of the most popular of the younger members of the trade at Rochester. There were many flowers. Interment was at Mount Hope cemetery. . Lancaster, Mass. — R. P. Brydon, late- ly with E. W. Breed, leaves in a few days for Lake Forest, 111., where he will have a position on the Cyrus H. Mc- Cormick estate. Waverly, N. Y. — Harvey Tracy, an experienced florist, has purchased a tract of ground on Caldwell avenue and will begin the erection of green- houses. The location, which is near both the Chemung street and Clinton avenue trolley lines, is said to be an ideal one for the business. •■■fiwjr- 50 The Weekly Florists^ Review* March 28, 1912.

Just because so many readers have in- terested themselves in the steady increase in the quantity of white paper consumed in printing The Review, we stop the presses to remark that the stock used for this issue weighs 12,542 pounds, or a lit- tle more than six and one-quarter tons. If the sheets of paper had been laid down side by side the area covered would have been 666,291 square feet, or almost ex- actly fifteen and one-fourth acres. Or, if the pages, each 8%xl2 inches, were laid side by side they would make a strip one foot wide 240 miles, 1,600 feet eight inches long. The methods of merchandising cut flowers are changing, and they will change still more, in spite of the not ex- traordinary reluctance of the retail branch of the trade to grapple with the new conditions. One should not ,iump to the conclusion, just because wholesale markets have been depressed of late, that the business has gone to the demnition bow-wows. Not at all. This always has been a business of ups and downs. But there now is so much stock, ten months in the year, that the older methods of dis- i tribution must give way to methods more / elastic and hence more effective. Azaleas for Easter are pretty closely sold up at most of the plant growing centers. Conditions are reversed; there aro more Help Wanted than Situation Wanted advertisements. There is much complaint as to the quality of the spiraeas this season. The trouble is laid to the hot, dry summer of 1911. The railroads have decided that 2 cents per mile is to be the minimum rate to Chicago conventions this summer, except where the tourist rates can be used. DATE OF EASTES. The date of Easter in 1913 is fifteen days earlier than in 1912, and twenty four days earlier than in 1911. Not until 1915 does it come so early again. Here are the dates of Easter for ten years: 1912 April 7 1913 March 2;! 1914 April 12 1915 April 4 1916 April 23 1917 April 8 1918 March 31 1919 April 20 1920 April 4 1921 March 27 HOW CLASSIFIED ADS PAY For the grower who has a moderate quantity of surplus stock the classified advertisements in The Review offer an effective means of turning the surplus into cash, and the cost usually is trifl- ing in comparison with the results ob tained. Under date of March 23, Zieger & Sons, Philadelphia, report having sold 5,000 vincas through a classified adver tisement. They were offered at $80 a thousand, so the sales totaled $400. The cost of the advertisement was $4.20, just about one per cent. Also under date of March 23, Myers & Co., Bluffton, Ind., report having sold or exchanged over 10,000 geranium plants through the use of classified ad- vertisements, which cost $3.70. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. As is usual with Lent, demand is improving as time passes and the lat ter part of last week found the mar- ket doing a quite fair volume of busi ness, pretty closely up to last year, if not fully equal to what was being done then. Supplies have shorteneil. There has been no scarcity, but re duced receipts and increased demand have given a better average, because there was less stock to sell at jot' lot prices. The weather has been un seasonably cold and this has been m restraining factor, both on supply and demand. The present week opened with fair prospect. Beauties are neither abundant no' of fine quality. A few first-class flow ers are being cut, but not many. Tht' demand for Beauties, however, has been light for weeks. There are enough good ones to go around. K'J larneys are excellent. The supply i'^ not quite so heavy as it has been, but the reduction has not resulted in anything more than a slight stiffen ing in prices. The medium grades are March 28, 1912.

We say without fear of contradiction that any florist who has had these Lilies and other Lilies in past years has found our Lilies not only the best but the most profitable Lilies he has handled.

There are prob- ably a dozen other varieties which are available in moderate quantities, the quality being good in each case. Carnations are slightly less abundant than a week ago, but prices have changed only a little. The quality is excellent. Better carnations seldom have been seen at this time of year; there are only a few of the soft flowers ordinarily numerous at this date and the proportion of splits has decreased. Prices still are unseason- ably low. The sale of violets has not yet in- creased to any great extent, largely, the trade thinks, because the temper- ature continues below freezing. The general supply of sweet peas has been considerably reduced. The quality con- tinues fine and there has been some advance in price in this department. Lavender is the color difficult to move.

The wholesalers appear to be confident that if any one item runs short there will be plenty of other stock to take its place. Apparently there will be no oversup- ply of long-stemmed lilies. Most of the growers are repeating their expe- rience of recent years, when a large proportion of the bulbs gave short stems. The sentiment is that there will be enough medium stems, none too many long stems, but an oversup- ply of short lilies. Mr. Bryant Betires. When Paul M. Bryant purchased the stock interest of Mrs. E. H. Hunt and Charles M. Dickinson in the E. H. Hunt corporation, January 1, a con- tract was made which, owing to un- foreseen difficulties, Mr. Bryant was not able to fulfill. The stock, there- fore, has reverted to Mrs. Hunt and Mr. Dickinson, who have returned to Mr. Bryant the moneys paid in on the contract and Mr. Bryant has with- drawn from the business. C. M. Dick- inson, who had intended to enter an- other line, is again in charge of the business. Various Notes. Hunt Bros., Park Ridge, who spe- cialize on some of the lesser grown flowers, have had exceptional success with sweet peas this season, but Fred Hunt says that the prices have not been such as to leave much profit. A big bunch of Helen Lewis and Christmas Pink brought to The Re- view office last week drew a favor- able comment from every visitor. A. Henderson & Co. have moved two carloads of tuberoses during the last twelve days and a third car is on the way.

Other whole- sale gtowers are doing the same, in view of the rumors of a coming coal strike. Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., paid a flying visit to the east last week, leaving and arriving back at Chicago in three days' time. During that short period he found chance to make New York and Philadelphia. The store of Kennicott Bros. Co. is spick and span for Easter, having last week received several coats of light green paint. Every other store in the market wears white. A. Lange finds it necessary to keep his store open until 9 p. m., and to 10 p. ra. Saturdays. The new second floor workroom adds greatly to his facilities. The A. L. Bandall Co. is fitting up a new stockroom for ribbons and will remove the department from the sec- ond to the third floor, where more space and better light will be had. One loom order now on the road from the mill amounts to $11,000, but is practically all sold. The latest addition to the Fleischman equipment is a camera and appurte- nances. George Wienhoeber is learning to use it. The plan is to work up an album of photographs of their own de- signs. Henry Wittbold has his display rooms at 56 East Randolph street open to the trade and has movjd in a large quantity of stock. The di^lay rooms included a model house of three rooms, aside from the main display. The rooms give an idea of the finished interior and exterior decoration as well as landscape work. All told, it is unique. N. J. Wietor says he estimates the increased cost of fuel this long, cold winter as twenty-five per cent over last season. Wietor Bros, never worry over coal. They burn the C. C. B. Pocahon- tas, always start the season with full sheds and never let them run low.

A majority of the wholesalers in this city positively assert that the cut flower market has fallen off during the last week. A strong minority assert quite as positively that the market has not fallen off. The features of this week are the arrival of southern daffodils, and of arbutus, the decrease in the poorer grades of sweet peas, some of the win- ter crops being over, and the falling off in single violets of finer quality. White, in roses and carnations, is less plentiful than colors, which makes the demand seem better. The rose market generally is in good shape, save only Beauties, which lag. Cattleyas are represented chiefly by Schroederse. Good gardenias are a bit more plentiful. Sweet peas are excellent; the average grade is higher, due to the shortening of the shorts. Easter lilies are coming for- ward; they promise well for next week. Tulips are in their glory, better than at any time this season. The price of daf- fodils has strengthened under the influ- ence of the receipt of some excellent Emperor. The short-stemmed southern stock is clean and nice, but not in the same class. Odds and ends are selling poorly. Greens are in fair request. The Plant Situation. The advance out-of-town orders for Easter blooming plants are heavy. Much fine stock has been shipped. More is set aside ready for shipping on specified dates. The local demand is slower. The disposition to hold off until a week be- fore Easter is marked. This delay is not practiced in the cases of scarce va- rieties or of exceptionally well grown stock offered at moderate prices. The fine quality of the stock has attracted many visitors from out of town. Indi- cations point to a big business. The Spring Show. The spring show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was held in the lecture room oi Horticultural hall, Broad street below Locust, March 19 to 21. The quality of the flowering Easter Flowers The stock of EASTER FLOWERS will be large in all varieties, the prices reasonable. May we have your orders in time to do them justice?

The lecture room pre- sented a brilliant appearance, filled with many-colored spring flowers. The hyacinths were a feature of the show; unusually large, well colored flowers were there in profusion, their effective- ness increased by length of stem. Lilies and azaleas were not prominent, but there were more spiraeas than one could have expected and a good representa- tion of cinerarias, tulips, daffodils, lilac and valley. J. G.

It was furnished for the employees of the Naval Gun Fac- tory. The anchor furnished by George Cooke elicited considerable praise. In this piece there were about 2,000 White Killarney roses and where the cross-bar joined the stem of the anchor, and at the bottom of the anchor, were huge bunches of orchids. The chain was en- tirely of violets. The top of the anchor rested as on a rock, at the bottom of which Easter lilies had been placed. At the bottom a large bunch of American Beauties had been placed. The anchor was made in the round and was over seven feet long. It was the tribute of the men of the U. S. S. Birmingham, which brought the bodies to Washington. The Lone Star, the emblem of Cuba, was car- ried out by Marche, with white roses as a fill, a center of orchids and the whole outlined in purple sweet peas, a token from the Cuban government. Another handsome piece was a huge broken col- umn done by Thomas & Slye. In addi- tion to these, probably every florist in town had a call for a wreath or other design. Gude Bros. Co. furnished for the United Spanish War Veterans thir- ty-four wreaths, one for each of the caskets, and a similar number for the Spanish War Veterans of the District of Columbia. Gude Bros. Co. also had the order for the anchor sent by Kal- lipolis Grotto, a Masonic organization, which was made of roses, gardenias and white carnations on a background of cycas leaves, asparagus and American Beauties. Blackistone and many others were called upon to do their share. In this ' connection it may be said that many of the caskets, at the start of the parade, were entirely neglected in so far as cut flowers were concerned. This was noticed by some patriotic merchant citi- zen, said to be Henry Lansburgh, who immediately ordered that a thousand carnations be placed as his mark of respect upon the caissons. Business throughout the city was practically at a standstill during the ceremonies and many of the local retailers attended, accompanied by all clerks who could be spared. It might also be stated that over forty floral pieces accompanied the FANCY OR DAGGER FERNS $1.50 per 1000. Discount on larg^e orders. SPECiaX FOR EASTER.— Galax.

Following the drill, the la- dies proceeded to Mrs. Shaffer's home, where an elaborate supper had been prepared for them, following which they went to the Arcade, where they tried their skill at bowling. The gentlemen were, during this time, the guests of the bowling club of the Washington Flo- rists' Club. A supper was tendered them at the Eathskellar, with a game afterwards. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. H. A. L. Kline, Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Moss, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Quick, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bauer, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Boone and Miss Carrie Eett.

We offer a complete and superior line of cut flower, folding boxes in numerous grades and sizes, as well as Corrugated Fibre Board Boxes for Live Plants and Floral Designs. Sefton Florists' Boxes combine high quality with low price. We man- ufacture them in large quantities and thus are able and pleased to give you the benefit in reasonably low prices.

Perhaps in no other line of business has there ever been such a gathering of men all wishing one of their competitors success in every sense of the word and to show the esteem in which Mr. Pochelon is held he was made the recipient of a beauti- ful Chiara marble pedestal. The ques- tion now arises, would all this goodfel- lowship exist in the trade if we had not a florists' club where we may air our troubles? Now for a few lines about this new store.

At the head of the stairway Mr. Pochelon has built what at first appears to be the front of a pretty French cottage, with its large windows. In fact, as one looks up the stairs he is led to imagine that he is looking outdoors, as no part of the conservatory shows. Immediately back of these windows, and on the same floor with the conservatory, is Mr. Pochelon 's private office and his show room for pottery, table decorations, etc. An im- mense fire-place and large, deep bay window are also provided to give an op- portunity for showing what can be ac- complished in decorations. Instead of being elaborately finished in gold or other decorations, the walls of this new store are finished in plain stucco and the mirrors outlined only in plain white frames. Here another of Mr. Pochelon 's original ideas will be worked out. Garlands and empire wreaths of laurel leaves, magnolia, etc., made by his own decorators, will adorn the walls and outline the mirrors.

Various Notes. Walter Taepke feels quite proud of his new delivery auto. It is one of the neatest little cars in the city. It is painted a royal blue, with pale blue stripes. Asman & Dunn also recently added a car to their delivery outfit. The Bemb Floral Co. put a new de- livery car into service last week.

Leslie, the landscape gardener, is laying out the grounds at the estate of George Lents, in the foothills near this town. Spokane, Wash.— J. H.

Chesnut, of Chesnut's Nursery and Dahlia Gar- den, says he exterminates moles in his groui;ids outdoors by putting a little arsenic on pieces of potatoes and plac- ing these in the holes in which the animals burrow. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. Funeral work has been the mainstay of the market during the last week, though considerable out-of-town ship- ping has also aided in preventing a surplus of flowers. Bulbous and spring stocks are still the largest items offered, the later daffodils and narcissi making fine displays everywhere. Of the latter, N. poeticus is most in evi- dence. There is a scarcity of yellow tulips, but other colors are plentiful and good. Gladioli must still be counted among the scarcer items, though probably by the time these notes appear wholesalers will be able to supply in quantity. Easter lilies are plentiful and good, both in pots and cut, and are principally northern grown. Why the growers in this sec- tion allow the San Francisco men to get away with this trade is not easily understood. Boses are plentiful and good, the bright sun of late having put more life into the plants. Beauties are fair. The Killarneys are better than for some time and there are also fine flowers of Kaiserin. Carnations are equal to the demand, but the quality in some cases leaves much to be desired. This refers principally to the outdoor stock. Orchids are not largely shown in the retailers' windows, but this may be due rather to lack of demand than to any scarcity. If trade growers are short, there is usually a good supply to be had from the amateur element. Violets are becoming poorer and scarcer right along. Valley is abund- ant and good. An addition to the plant supply is noted in the pretty little specimen tree or Moutan peonies, which are most attractive. Greens of all kinds are more plentiful and cheaper. Adiantum is being shipped in at low rates from growers at a dis- tance, but the local men appear to be holding their own for quality. Various Notes. Tulips are in the height of their glory at the Los Angeles Elower Mar- ket and a grander lot of blooms were never seen than those now being ship- ped by this firm. Business is keeping up well here. The store of the Freeman-Lewis Co., on Fourth street, was closed March 20, the date of the funeral of Mrs. Lewis, mother of C. Lewis, who died at her home that week. Charlie has been most devoted to his mother, especially dur- ing her long illness, and everyone sym- pathizes with him in his loss. Many fine floral pieces from the local trade showed the respect in which both were held. Tassano Bros, report business in the wholesale end good, much of the stock brought in from outside points never coming to the store at all, but going direct from the soil to their customers. Some splendid adiantum is shown here, as well as choice Easter lilies. The Easter lilies are fine at Creutz & Co. 's store; large stems, with twelve to fourteen flowers, are shown. Good gladioli are also arriving in quantity. The H. N. Gage Co. has all its stock in fine* condition, but Kaiserin roses were noted as particularly good, as well as the big lots of Narcissus poeti cus, ixias and various irises. Howard & Smith have been showing POINSETTIAS Opportunity knocks but once, but here is your op- portunity and it is going to knock twice. If you don 't take advantage of it you are certainly ' ' knocked. ' ' We have a few thousand fine two- year-old plants and the engraving will convey a good idea of their charac- ter. Each plant will produce not less than 100 cuttings and the original plant tan be cut back to between the three and four-foot mark as shown, potted into a 10-inch pot and by pinching the growths during summer and early au- tumn will make a full, rounded speci- men similar to an azalea in form, with dozens of splendid big bracts. We worked this stunt ourselves successfully last season, getting as high as $10 each for single plants. WHAT WE CAN DO, YOU CAN DO.

The nursery at Montebello is always worth a visit, but from now on, during the next three months, it will be at its best. I could not begin to mention the many fine things to be seen, both in- side and outside, and can only advise those interested to go and see for t hemselves. A fire at the Stimson building, close to the Bedondo Floral Co., threw a scare to A. Knopf, but the flames did not reach the store. Funeral work is plentiful here. O. C. Saakes recently had his window treated entirely with daffodils, which made a pretty and decidedly artistic display. J. W. Wolters' new store, at 627 South Hill street, is nearing completion and will be a magnificent one. At present the Angelus Flower Shop, on Fourth street, will also be run, but as much as possible of the business will be diverted to the new place. Thee Florists are extremely busy with high-class funeral work. At the Hayward Floral Co. 's store some beautiful plants have been on dis- play, including magnificent rhododen- drons and some fine showy plants of Kalmia latifolia. This makes an elegant pot plant. The Japanese aza- leas are also extremely fine here. Dieterich & Turner are^ • cutting heavily of all classes of roses at Monte- bello. The quality is fine in all^ cases. The young stock is in fine shape in the new hpyae. Many thousands of young Beauties, Killarneys and all the popular kinds, as well as novelties, are ready CHAS. E. MORTON. Mgr.

Young stock of Boston ferns, as well as finished plants in all sizes, are being sent out all over the western states, and they are grand stock. Funeral work continues the standby at Morris Goldenson'a. H. E. Richards. TOWTLAITD, OEE. The Market. Business remains steady, but little of consequence is on the social calendar. There seems to be plenty of stock, with sufficient demand to use the surplus. St. Patrick's day coming on Sunday hurt business to a slight extent, but there was enough to iMke the extra efforts worth while. Shamrocks and green car- nations were the principal sellers and some attractive windows were in evi- dence. Spring flowers are in greater variety, with tulips predominating. Ehododen- drons, spiraeas and ramblers are good sellers, especially the latter. With Easter almost here, everything is in readiness and there seems to be plenty of stock. Lilies will predominate, yet there will be a variety, although there is a general scarcity of azaleas. With continued bright weather there will be plenty of cut flowers to go around. E. R. C. SAN FEANCISCO. The Market. Continued bright, warm weather has had the effect of bringing thousands of early spring blossoms into town. This is especially noticeable in bulbous stock, for never have we had a better showing in March. With the warm weather, however, we may expect an end shortly of daffodils and tulips. Narcissi, except a few poeticus, are over for the season. Fruit blossoms of half a dozen kinds are being sent into town in great quantities. Freesias and hyacinths are about a thing of the past and irises are on the wane. Violets have taken a sudden spurt, owing to a few days of rainy weather, but they will not la^ much longer. Business is only fair, but in comparing it with that of one year ago we find we are not behind. Various Notes.

Eeferring to the extent of the horti- cultural trades in England, Scotland, Ireland and "Wales, a writer in an Eng- lish trade paper states that the num- ber of establishments is approximately 3,000, with 4,000 acres of glass — 175 million square feet. The land in use is 20,000 acres. The investment in the 500 leading establishments is estimated at ^50,000,000; the next 1,000 establish- ments another $10,000,000, and the re- maining 1,500 places hardly $1,250,000, the whole industry therefore represent- ing an investment of some $0^^250,000.

The air is soft in the woodland glen; 'Tls the time o' year when spring is here — If It doesn't get cold and snow again. The song o' the bird again is heard. And one flits over you now and then; You say, "Ah, soon they'll be all In tune — If it doesn't get cold and snow again." The March sun gleams over flooded streams. The snow is gone from hillside and glen; 'Tls the time o year when spring is here — If it doesn't get cold and snow again. — B. L. T. In Chicago Tribune. The bean growers appear to have had no trouble getting all the acreage they need. A REPORT from Holland says that the turnips standing for seed in the Gronin- gen district have been seriously damaged by the severe winter. W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, who for many years have handled more sweet pea seeds than any other house in America, are said to be having much their largest season. In the cities of the Atlantic seaboard counter trade is reported to have begun in real earnest at the opening of the present week. Too much ice still on the ground to have much doing in the west. This is the week that usually sees the peak of the mail orders, but the season is much too backward this year. This will go on record as the season in which no feature of the seed trade was normal. The Milford Trust Co., Milford, Conn., of which Arthur B. Clark is president, opened March 4. A Bridgeport, Conn., paper prints a picture of the handsome new building and a portrait of Mr. Clark. Germany had the same hot summer as the American seed growers, and they have had the same hard winter. It is reported that the biennials, of which the acreage was somewhat less than usual, have suffered considerably. At the flower show at Chicago March 12 to 17 there were two exhibits of new strains of Spencer type of sweet peas of winter-flowering habit. Both were a bluish pink in color. The Spencer pea will now be an all-the-year-around possi- bility. There are reports that the demand for aster seeds is not opening the way it should, probably due to the weather as much as to the fact that the crop was not especially profitable last season. In some of the best varieties the supply of seeds is not large. Oppiciai. figures of the bulb exports from Holland show that 1909 was the high record year, there having been a falling off in 1910 and another in 1911. The maximum exports to the United States (1909) were 3,500,000 kilos. A kilo is 2.20485 pounds. James Vick's Sons, Rochester, have just issued the sixth edition of their highly successful booklet, "How to Grow Asters," It was written by George Arnold, farm superintendent ,^or the Vicks, and has been thoroughly re- vised since the fifth edition w«nt out of print.

Will the day ever come when Amer- ica will produce all its needs in seeds f Many think it is not so tremendously dis- tant. To judge by the early reports, there is no chance whatever of large seed crops in Europe this year. Optimism is dead in the trade over there. An Erfurt seed grower says one of the increased items of expense this sea- son haa been cablegrams — used in asking whether to cut orders or fill in full, at higher prices than quoted? The German growers of flower seeds note a steady increase in the demand from year to year. This season the sup- ply was short, but prices did not ad- vance in proportion and there was a pretty prompt clean-up. The experience of the Holland bulb travelers this season brings into greater prominence the tendencies that have been apparent for several seasons. The grow- ers who have forced bulbs for the larger wholesale cut flower markets are, to say the least, not keen to increase their or- ders, while those who force bulbs for their own local retail trade are buying fully ^ Th« 1912 edition of our lOO-page, beatitifully illustratod ^ CATALOGUE mod PRICE LIST of Holland Nursery Stock is ready and mailed to our customers.

The Hollander naturally goes where the busi- ness is to be had and few towns now go unvisited. At the same time the seed houses are increasing their orders for the papular medium priced bedding varieties of tulips. MEAN TEMPEBATUBES. According to the Century dictionary the mean temperature is the degree midway between the two extremes for the period, but with the baseball season opening April 11 the office boy's defini- tion of the mean temperature is "what we have had lately" — and the seedsman agrees with the office boy. Taking Chi- cago as an example of what the whole country has had to endure, the follow- ing is how last week's mean tempera- ture compares with the normal: Date. Normal. This year. March lit 35° 430 March 20 35° 22° March 21 36° 23° March 22 36° 22° March 23 37° 28° March 24 37° 29° March 25 38° 32° THE SEASON AT LOMPOC, CAL. There was rain of two-fifths of an inch or less on six days in December and four days in January, the total fall being two inches. Then there was an interval to March 1 without precip- itation. From March 1 to 21 there was rain on ten days, the total being slightly more than four and one-half inches, giving a little more than six and one-half inches since December 1. This is far below the normal or aver- age rainfall for Lompoc, but the fact that in 1910-1911 over twenty-four inches of rain fell, with the ten show- ers which fell in December and Jan- uary, aided us materially in the prep- aration of the land for the reception of seeds, and especially sweet peas. W. Atlee Burpee & Co. had about 150 acres planted to sweet peas about the middle of January, much earlier than was possible in the season of 1910 and 1911, with just enough moisture in the soil to germinate seeds which were not too hard to sprout. As everyone knows who has had anything to do with sweet peas, the seeds germinate irregularly. This pe- culiarity is more noticeable when grown under greenhouse conditions, because the stock then comes under more direct observation. ~ Greenhouse and coldframe treatment of sweet peas is only given to choice varieties and selections when seeds of these are few in number. This process is, however, educational and shows conclusively that California grown seed is far superior to that which is received from Europe. The seed produced in Europe shows de- cidedly better germinating averages for the season of 1911 than it did in 1910. A case in point: The highest priced novel- ty sent out in 1910 from Great Britain was so low in actual germination that if recorded here it would hardly be believ- able. The seed of the same variety grown on Floradale the following sea- son was all that could be desired. Everyone who has either lived in the British Islands or has visited there knows how moist it is. Last year, the summer of 191], was an exception, being unusually hot and dry. In Cali- fornia, or it is better in this connec- tion to speak of Lompoc weather con- ditions, we had no rain from March 10, 1911, until December 4.

FLORISTS' REVIEW When Writing Advertisers Not so many years ago you bought soda crackers at the corner grocery, taken from a barrel — just a plain wooden barrel — the cat slept on them at night and they were handed out per pound during the day. If you happened along when the barrel was first opened you got a pretty fair deal, but a little later the crack- ers tasted as though you had car- ried them in your back pants pocket during a baseball game. Today you ask for Uneeda Biscuits, put up in trademarked packages, because you know they are the best in the mar- ket. In ancient times all personal property bore the owner's trademark — cattle, sheep, books, etc. The em- perors stamped their images on the silver coins ; the slave owners burned a circle into the palm, or a cross upon the forehead of their slaves, and often the owner^s name was tat- tooed upon the slave's shoulder. So trademarks are as old as the pyra- mids. Today the manufacturer blows his mark into glass, moulds it into steel and weaves it in tanwi- tries — fixes it somewhere, and in some way, on everything he is proud of. The florist trademarks his boxes — the paint man with a label on ihp. can. The men who don't trademark their goods are usually ashamed of them — they have something to con- ceal. And so the bulb men who are not ashamed or doubtful of their case contents use a trademark on their cases. The Horseshoe Brand trademark is a mark of quality — of reliability — of security, to the buy- ers in the bulb line. You need have no fear to buy. You may be proud of it, as we are, for it covers the best the crops afford. In lily bulbs and French bulbs it reigns supreme. There are none better produced. They are the best we know of — if we could get them better we would — but we can't. So when you want to be sure to have good bulbs get the Horseshoe Brand. Prices reasonable.

No irrigation is resorted to out here for sweet \pea8 when not less than ten inches of rainfall is had during the winter season. It will be seen by referring to the records in the first paragraph that so far we have not received the requisite ten inches, but when we fully realize that twenty-four inches fell last season it will be apparent we had some moisture left in the soil, which, with the flr\ farming system practiced here, was conserved. The crops in general are looking quite promising in Lompoc since the welcome March rains. Mustard, one of Lompoc 's staple crops, is looking better now than it did last year at this time, the excessive rainfall of early 1911 causing the plants to as- sume a decidedly yellow hue. While in some few isolated spots this year it suffered during the recent drought, the belated rains have done wonders in freshening iip this as well as other growing crops. Lompoc valley has the^ unique dis- tinction of growing more mustard seed than any other locality in the imiverse. This seed is used principally commer- cially in the manufacture of condi- ments, though Fordhook Fancy is grown to some extent for seed pur- poses. Bears, airothftrTcrop well to the fore in Lompoc, will not be sown until May. Some weather predictors clajjn we will have rains later "tiiis year than we have had the last two years, when the last in 1910 was on Easter Sun- GLADIOLI Per Thousand Bulblets Sizes — 12 3 4 5 6 per Bu.

I am egotistical to this extent, that from the varieties which I have introduced during the past ten years, the majority of which are not only being liberally used by both Florists and Amateurs, but are also demanded and listed by Professional Growers, I have the right to assume that my judgment as to the value of a variety should be worth some consideration, and that I am not a Novice in experimental and trial work. ''PEACE'* has been grown and increased by me since 1904, and has been planted in all kinds of soil, and under almost every climatic condition, and has never failed tO "make good*" If this can be truthfully said of any other White variety of equal or superior merit, I want it. This is the GRAND- EST WHITE VARI- ETY ever otfered in the world, and the international title of "PEACE" was selected for this valuable type, which will become a standard variety and secure a permanent place in every country when known. This variety is not only NEW, DISTINCT and of more than SPECIAL MERIT, but it has WONDERFUL VITAL- ITY, which will insure perfect satisfaction under all reasonable conditions. The plant is MOST STRIKING and AT- TRACTIVE. Its MAS- SIVE PROPOR- TIONS, broad heavy foli- age of a rich green, erect and vigorous habit of growth, give evidence of the CONSTITUTION AND VIGOR, rare in light col- ored hybrids. These quali- ties are further proven by its EXCEPTIONAL REPRODUCTIVE POWERS, by offsets and division.

The demand in every line is good; for seed potatoes, especially, the call is quite exceptional. By the time these notes are printed many thousands of acres will be planted in southern California, which expects to supply the eastern shortage. One Chinaman turned in an order re- cently to a local firm for 8,000 sacks of choice seed potatoes at $3 per sack of 115 pounds, and this is only a drop in the bucket. Hundreds of others are planting 1,000 sacks and over, and, cal- culating on a basis of five bags to the acre, this will mean some potatoes. Shipping in carload lots to the east will probably commence about May 1. California cauliflower shipments are over for the season.

Consular Agent at Toulon, France, sends the State Department an account of the bulb growing industry in the south of France from which the following will be of interest to the trade: "According to the statistics of the departmental professor of agriculture, the bulk of the area given over to hor- ticulture is that devoted to flowering bulbs, grown for the bulbs, of which there were exported to the United States in 1911 nearly $200,000 worth, and for their blooms, which, during the winter season, are shipped to the whole- sale flower markets of Paris, London and Berlin by special train leaving the coast towns each night. "The most extensive area noted in 1911 was that devoted to the narcis- sus, 3,552.54 acres, followed by hya- cinths, 717.75 acres, and Lilium candi- dum, 395.36 acres. This total, which does not take count of the freesia, gladiolus, ranunculus, or the violet, had approximately the same acreage as in 1910, with a certain gain in area of Lilium candidum and about the same loss on hyacinths. "Immortelles cover an area of 531.25 acres and produce a crop valued at $38,600, of which nearly seventy-five per cent is exported to the United States. Including all the horticultural products of the Department of the Var, of which immortelles and flowering bulbs only are exported to the United States, there has been a steady annual increase, averaging twenty per cent. "In general, the bulb crop of nar- cissus, hyacinth, and Lilium candidum was large in 1911, particularly of the finer varietie*.

FLETCHER BULB AND FLORAL CO Whol**al« Growers and Importer* VALLEY JUNCTION, IOWA Mention The Review when you write. It is quite possible, however, that a certain part of this overstock was shipped to Holland and may even have found its way thence to the United States later in the season, as Holland- grown bulbs. It is thought by many that for the 1912 season there will be somewhat of a curtailment in quantity of bulbs grown, or at least offered, with the idea that this will sustain market prices, which in a large degree are speculative, because the grower is sel- dom a shipper. "At OUioules and Hyeres many of the small growers reach the market through their 'syndicate,' but with the competitive Narcissus grandiflora of- fered at $3.50 per thousand by outsiders, the generally-agreed-upon syndicate rate of $3.85 was this season often broken. The Koman hyacinth, which in some instances reached the desired $20 or more per thousand, later fell to $15.50 and even less. The marketing of the bulb crop through the growers' unions or syndicates undoubtedly sustains and even raises prices. In a dozen years this has caused an advance in Koman hyacinths from $5.40 to $15.50 and more, and in Narcissus grandiflora from $2.30 to $3.85. "These shipping syndicates are an advantage to the buyer in offering a certain implied guaranty as to the qual- ity of the stock shipped, so that claims are seldom made against them for rot- ted or damaged bulbs. A few years ago unscrupulous individuals made such shipments, their inducements being prices very much below the market quo- tation. This class of middlemen has practically disappeared, at least so far as they are able to extend relations in the United States. "A horticultural journal recently re- ferred to a bulb-sorting machine lately adopted in Holland, doubtless a ma- chine similar to the average potato sorter. The subject was mentioned by the writer to various bulb growers and shippers hereabouts, who ridiculed the idea, denying the possibility of any method of mechanical sorting without injuring the stock. There is certainly no disposition on the part of growers here to make use of anything but the inexpensive hand labor of men, woinen and girls for all operations of growing and shipping flowering bulbs."

Randolph St., Chicago OUR FUTURE DUTCH GARDENS. "Uncle Jim" Wilson has sent out from the Agricultural Department a press notice to the effect that Uncle Sam is in a fair way to become a bulb grower to rival the Dutchman. He wants the country to know all about the garden near the town of Belling- ham, Wash., where bulbs are being grown "under the direction of the Sec- retary of Agriculture." For years, we are told, the United States has been sending to Holland and European coun- tries many thousands of dollars annu- ally for hyacinth, tulip, narcissus and crocus bulbs, but that hereafter it is likely that much of this money will be kept at home. It was in 1908 that the government decided to establish a garden on the Pacific coast for the cultivation and propagation of Holland bulbs. A tract of ten acres was leased and the neces- sary buildings were erected for the pur- pose of demonstrating whether or not the industry could be prosecuted suc- cessfully. This year 869,000 bulbs were planted, and it is said that the results obtained are superior to those of which Holland can boast. A comparative test recently was made of the bulbs which had been grown in Bellingham. Fifty bulbs of the same varieties of tulips which are propagated in Holland were planted side by side with an equal number of imported bulbs. Those grown at Bel- lingliam opened their flowers from seven to ten days earlier than those from Holland, and they were declared to be of larger size and finer color. Among the American-grown tulips there was a total absence of disease, while GLADIOLUS Augusta I 2.00 100; $ 15.00 1000 America 4.00 100; 35.00 1000 Attraction 4.00 100; 30.00 1000 Baron J.

The agricultural chief draws a pleas- ant picture of future tulip shows in America which shall rival those which now draw annually thousands of vis- itors to the land of dikes and ditches. Uncle Jim believes firmly that America can produce anything if Americans are only taught to do the necessary culti- vation. Somewhere the soil is all right, and both in vegetables and flowers the word of authority is that America can compete with the nations. — Chicago Evening Post. VegetableForcmg. STUNTED LETTUCE PLANTS. We today shipped to you by express a box containing lettuce, with the roots and soil. Will you please exam- ine them and tell us what was wrong with the conditions? The lettuce was transplanted twice and stood for eight weeks on the bench from which the specimens have 'just been taken. We kept the night temperature at 50 to 60 degrees, with steam heat. On bright days, with air on, the temperature was about 70 or 75 degrees. Our soil is heavy and black and runs together easily when watered. When transplant- ing, we manured the soil with good, short stable manure, well worked into the soil. Our two houses are each 28x 200 and fourteen feet to the peak of the roof, with three feet of glass on each side. The houses contain sixteen benches, each 5M>x95 feet, and there was good lettuce on all of them except four, in which they are like the samples sent you. All of them received the same care. Please let us know what is wrong and what is the remedy. S. B. The sample plants arrived in good shape and were not diseased. I hesi- tate to say just what I think the trouble is with them, as it may be from one or two of several unsatisfac- tory conditions, but I am inclined to think the soil is not as rich or well prepared as it might be. The fact that other benches in the same houses are doing well would indicate that the trouble is not due to the temperature or ventilation of the greenhouse. Per- haps the soil from these two beds came from a different place outside or was manured differently inside. Were these two benches filled with the last plants that were set out? It is usually the case that the healthiest and best plants are planted first and all sickly or poor ones are put in the last bench if the grower is short of plants. If they were stunted when quite small, they could not be expected to do as well as healthy ones, that had never been checked or held back in any way. I would advise watering these beds with a solution of nitrate of soda fer- tilizer. Take about a 3-inch potful to a barrel of water and give them a good watering, that will go well down into the soil, to the depth of the roots. Do not run your houses quite so hot. Ven- tilate every day. Dig down in differ- ent spots and note the different degrees of moisture in some beds where the plants are doing well or not doing well.

Malbranc is plan- ning to sell his eighteen greenhouses on Barron avenue, Morrellville, and to build about eight large houses near the four he now has in Upper Yoder town- ship, just back of Westmont. He has no more room for the extension of his greenhouses on his property on Barron avenue and additional ground in that vicinity is too expensive to permit the locating of all his houses there. So he has determined upon the other alter- native, removing to the vicinity of Westmont, if he can sell his Morrell- ville property. RELIABLE SEEDS SOW NOW Tr. Oa. Pkt.

The nurseries that have established landscape departments all report plenty of work in hand. The Orchard Supply Co. has been in- corporated at Logansport, Ind., with a capital of $10,000. The directors are T. J. Plancke, L. E. Sutton, John A. Kuhn, H. H. Lowes and W. E. Plancke. Irving W. Dix, who during the last nine years has been associated with the Eastern Nurseries, of HoUiston, and the Franiingham Nurseries, of South Fram- ingham, Mass., has accepted the position of manager at E. W. Breed's Four Pond Nursery, at Clinton, Mass. Ben Hudnall, formerly proprietor of the Floral View Nursery, at Tyler, Tex., has removed to Pittsburg, Tex., where he has purchased a tract of land near town. He will give special attention to the propagation of roses, besides growing a select assortment of ornamental shrubs, trees and small fruits. The season holds out no bright pros- pect for the nursery trade over a large section of the country. With the frost so deep in the ground, it will be another three weeks at least before the soil will be in condition for planting operations, and by that time a quick start of growth will be imminent. It probably will be a short season. BIG PEACH CROP IN GEOBGIA. Manager H. D. Marks, of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, who is spending this month in the peach belt section of the state, has reported that the peach buds are beginning to swell and soon the trees will begin to fruit. His report as to the outlook for the coming peach crop is most flattering. The Exchange is busily engaged in planning for the season's shipments, which, according to Manager Marks' advance estimate, will approximate 5,000 carloads from Georgia during the season. He reports that never in the history of scientific peach culture in Georgia has such a season of preparation for the ripening of fruit been put in as during the last few months.

During that time the whole eastern part of the state became infested with them and the situation was so serious that every city and town in the state was made liable to pay for the exter- mination of these pests. It is generally conceded that every creature is put on earth for some rea- son, but the only apparent reason for the existence of the gypsy moth is to give jobs to persons who are endeavor- ing to rid the country of them. Pro- fessor Bane stated that the subject in itself was a large one and five years ago the legislature saw fit to place this work under the Department of State Forestry. Paris green did not kill the moths, which were rapidly stripping the leaves from the trees. The state legislature appropriated $26,000 to cope with the work and managed to curb the damage to some extent. Professor Bane exhibited charts showing the increase of the territory covered by the moths since 1900. Al- though their gradual spread is toward the western part of the state, the pre- vailing winds are from the west and their spread is slow. Up to this year the state has appropriated $315,000 for their extermination and each town pays according to valuation, the state also paying a certain percentage of the amount used in excess of the appro- priation. An understanding has been reached with the United States gov- ernment this year whereby the govern- ment force will work on the picket line and in that manner check the spread to the west.

Mention The Review when you write. Professor Bane then explained the manner in which the work of extermi- nating the moths is carried on. In some cases creosote is put on the egg clusters and kills the eggs. Strips of burlap are also banded around a tree and the moths are destroyed when they are found underneath. The manner of spraying the trees was fully described and illustrated, together with the vari- ous kinds of sprays used. At the close of the lecture a number of questions were asked and they were ably answered. Professor Bane also showed a picture of a sprayer that was got up through the oflSce of the state forester. It is an auto-truck sprayer and cost about $3,000 or $3,500. It has a tank with a capacity of 4,000 gallons and will spray both sides of a street at one time. Professor Bane stated that at present he has a greenhouse 20 x 100 feet, with ten bushels of gypsy moth eggs to be hatched out. He also has California Privet 25,000 California Privet, 2-yr. , 18 to 24- in., $15.00 per lOOO. 25,000 California Privet, 12 to 18-in., branched, $12.00 per lOOO. W. B.

After they get to growing he intends to have them infected with some disease and then carry them to the woods where the moths are the thickest, so as to try the experiment of impart- ing the disease to the others and caus- ing their death. He also told of the different parasites that are distributed to feed on the gypsy moth. At present one of his agents is in Europe trying to find out the different pests that live on the gypsy moth.

The beautiful weather we have en- joyed in the last two weeks has helped the flowering plants intended for the Easter trade considerably and, with a continuation of it, the market will be well supplied with orchids, hydrangeas, spiraeas. Baby Eambler roses, geran- iums, etc. Easter lilies will not be as plentiful with some growers as last year, owing to the extremely cold winter we had and the early season. All kinds of bedding plants, roses and nephrolepis find ready buyers and the large stock on hand will mostly be dis- posed of by the end of the spring sea- son. Club Meeting. The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety held an interesting meeting March 21, at Kolb's German Tavern. Claude Ory presided, with C. E. Panter, the secretary, at his desk and a large gath- ering of enthusiastic members present. The committee appointed for the pro- posed horticultural and agricultural state fair next fall reported progress and feels much encouraged through the interest shown by the various organiza- tions. The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. had a splendid exhibit of cut roses, such as Kaiserin, Maryland, Ehea Eeid and Bridesmaid. The blooms, stems and foliage of these varieties were perfect and created a sensation among those present. Harry Dressel, the firm's high- ly successful rose grower, made a few short but interesting remarks, and was the recipient of hearty congratula- tions. Harry Papworth, president of the company, spoke of the rose exhibit made at the recent Chicago show and the creditable showing his flowers made against the northern growers Eichard Eichling, foreman for U. J. Virgin, showed Hydrangea hortensis Otaksa, with fourteen flowers and buds in a 9-inch pot; Adiantum O'Brieni and magnificum, and a collection of pteris. The strong and clean cultivation of all his plants was highly commented upon. F. J. Eeyes and F. Ackermann were elected as members. Various Notes. J. A. Newsham is at present busy with the erection of his new range of houses on the new site in the rear of the old grounds. These will be six in number, each 20x150, for the cultiva- tion of orchids, palms, ferns, etc. The material used is Louisiana cypress and all work is done by local factories and builders. The greatly enlarged residence stands now at the entrance to the new addition, and with the old greenhouses removed, the entire place, comprising an area of twelve acres, will be one of the finest in this section of the country. Mrs. Carrie Eehm has her St. Charles avenue place in fine shape and well stocked. She spoke enthusiastically of the progress the business has been mak- ing lately. Hermann Doescher is moving his en- tire place of business a short distance from his present location. His immense stock of general greenhouse and out- door plants is selling freely. Theodore Betz has an exceptionally fine supply of camphor trees in pots and tubs. He has started to cut his first outdoor grown Marechal Nial roses, which are of good quality. R. E.

Business continues good, but, except- ing a couple of days, the weather has been snowy and bad in general. Fu- neral work has been quite heavy, sev- eral prominent people having died lately. Carnations, hyacinths, tulips, etc., are plentiful. Koses are a little stronger, but the supply does not equal the de- mand. Various Notes. At Julius Niednagel & Sons' the roses are in excellent condition, with fairly heavy cuts. It is the same with carnations and business is good. Curt L. Niednagel has sold his farm for $8,000, this being the amount he paid for it a couple of years ago. He is again planning to go west and settle on the coast. The Blackman Floral Co. is cutting heavily of everything except roses. Business is good.. This firm started planting the new rose houses last week. Part of the stock is grafted White Kil- larney. Henry Seymour has had a good share of funeral work lately. The carnations and other stock look good. Theodore Kuebler, of the Santa Rosa fruit farm, has been active in organiz- ing the Fruit and Berry Growers' Asso- ciation, and has been elected president. Karl Zeidler has the material for two houses, 25x100, which will be erected soon, and he is planning to build two more, 30x300 feet. These houses will be built farther back from the street and eventually the old plant will be torn down. , E. L. F. Winter and Spring Price List Ready. Send for copy. Contains some attractive offers.

The supply of stock continued to be abundant all last week, but with the exception of Wednesday and Thursday, during which time we were treated to a fine blizzard, the demand was enpugh to clean up most of the time. Various Notes. Last week was style week with all the large dry goods and department stores and from their standpoint it was a success; but it kept the florists guess- ing, for in former years the spring open- ings have covered a period of three weeks or so. It was all crowded into one week this year, making it unpleas- ant and not so profitable. Gust Pohl is beginning to cut a crop of sweet peas, which are of fine quality and find ready sale. While driving down Wisconsin street last Saturday morning the hoof of Wm. Eschrich's horse was caught in the car track and so badly injured that it re- quired an ambulance to convey the horse to a hospital. Mr. Eschrich is lo- cated in North Milwaukee, where he grows plants and bulbs. The Mueller & Schroeder Co. has mu- tually agreed to dissolve partnership. Mr. Schroeder, who resides in St. Louis, Mo., and was not active, has taken over the interests of F. W. Mueller. Mr. Mueller and his son, Gustav, have bought twenty acres of land at Brown Deer, Wis., where they will, as soon as weather permits, erect two 300-foot houses for carnations. The change will take effect April 1. Chas. Zepnick, wto is located out on Chicago avenue, has a fine crop of for- get-me-nots on and only hopes the weather will continue cool, so he can hold them for the Easter trade. The C. C. PoUworth Co. reports a busy week; lots of stock coming in and moving out. At the greenhouses all hands are rushed packing and shipping pot plants for the Easter trade. At the Brown Deer plant of the Hel- ton & Hunkel Co. they are cutting large quantities of American Beauties of extra fine quality. The Easter plants at the Humboldt avenue houses are all in fine shape and will clean up in a hurry, as many advance orders are on file. While they have nothing new to re- port at the store of the G. Rusch Co., they say that last week was a hummer; taking it all around they moved a pile of stock. The Currie Bros. Co. reports business slack the fore part of last week, but so brisk the latter half that the average is quite satisfactory. A. F. Kellner had all his decorative plants out last week for the spring openings and had to refuse many orders which could have been taken care of had the custom of former years been followed. The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. also got their share of the opening rush last week and are glad it's all over. John Zech, who has been recuperat- ing in a local sanatorium, has returned to Chicago. Miss Louise Zimmermann and Walter Halliday are on the sick list. Visitors: Louis Storkel, Tomah, Wis.; Louis Koemer, Kenosha, Wis.; Jul Wagner, Beaver Dam, Wis.; Harry Balsley, Detroit, Mich.; L. S.

Mention The Keview wben you write. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The Market. With the exception of one or two days last week, trade has been quiet, but the death of one of our downtown dry goods merchants called for no end of funeral flowers. The weather con- tinues cold and cloudy, with no signs of spring. March 24 we had a fall of six inches of snow. Stock of all kinds is first-class, notwithstanding the cloudy weather. The outlook for Easter is promising. Roses will be plentiful, while the indi- cations are that carnations will be a little short. Beauties are not what they should be. There will be plenty of lilies, from present indications. In pot plants there will be plenty of rhododen- drons, lilacs, lilies, azaleas, ramblers, hydrangeas, spiraeas and bulbous stock. Various Notes. The Smith & Young Co. experienced no end of trouble at the Cumberland greenhouses for several days last week. Communication by telephone was en- tirely cut off by the blizzard. Martin Reukauf, with H. Bay- ersdorfer & Co., spent a day with the trade this week. Mr. Reukauf was on his way home from a trip to the coast. John Bertermann sold a lot out of his East Washington street addition this week. F. Dorner & Sons' Co. is shipping some fine carnations into this market. Messrs. Steinkamp and Elder visited Lafayette one day last week. They had a fine time, notwithstanding the unus- ually bad weather they encountered.

Mabch 28, 1912, The Weekly Florists^ Review. 115 MADISON The Money-Making Rose LOWERS pure white, resembling Bride; buds fully as large. The foliage is large, does not take mildew, and resembles the foliage of the Holly. The flowers give great satisfaction twelve months in the year. The flowers have splendid keeping qualities. The plants cut as many flowers as the Killarney — stems averaging one grade lon= ger. The plants have very little blind wood. Crops every five weeks in Mid=Winter, with an intermediate crop, making a continuous cut of flowers all Winter. Spring, Summer and Fall, the flowers keep their shape and size, and the plants flower most abundantly. The plants can be grown satisfactor= ily in any Rose House, whether heated by steam or hot water. The plants improve the second, third and fourth year — improving with age.

Nicholas next season BECAUSE: — It covers the whole season with top grade blooms. It does not crop, nor go o£f in color at any time from September to July. It is a great keeper and shipper. It outsells all other scarlets over the counter. It has been bringing us from 35 to 50 per cent more all season, than the best Beacon we ever grew. Many growers have come to see it growing, and then placed their orders. A number of them placed orders early, then came to see it and doubled the original order. We can still give you cuttings that will make fine stock for blooming next winter. But let's have your order at once. $12.00 per lOO; $100.00 per lOOO We have 2000 fine plants of Beacon in 2-inch pots to sell at $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000.

Lilies and Beauties seemed to get the worst of it as far as price was concerned, but everything cleaned up by Saturday night at some price. The retailers are making quite a show of blooming plants, which is not doing the cut flower end any good, as one can get a pretty pot of bloom from 50 cents to $2 and, as they have not been so common, they catch the fancy of the flower buyers. Various Notes. ~ The Pittsburgh Florists' Exchange is busy moving into its new quarters in Oliver avenue above Wood street. The flood gave Mrs. E. A. Williams a scare last week. As she had just fin- ished redecorating her store for spring, the promise of a 30-foot flood was not pleasant, but it stopped at twenty-eight feet and did not reach the store, al- though the cellar was filled. The John Bader Co. reports having the finest lot of azaleas ever offered for Easter, and they will be just right. The committee reports arrangements for Prof. John Brashear's lecture as progressing. It will be given in the English room, Fort Pitt hotel, Monday evening, April 15, at 8 p. m. Lunch will be served after the lecture. Visitors: Miss Agnes L.

The spring meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of Gardeners will be held on Monday afternoon, April 15, at 2:30 p. m. in Horticultural hall, Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia. This meeting will combine both business and pleasure, the Philadelphia members extending an invitation to all members of the asso- ciation to attend. The exhibition committee is making a special eflfort to bring together a fine display of this season's novelties for the meeting, growers being invited to exhibit. Any exhibits sent to Horti- cultural hall, in care of David Bust, up to noon, April 15, will be carefully staged by the exhibition committee if the exhibitor cannot be represented in person. Another interesting feature of the meeting will be the bowling tourna- ment between the members of the win- ning team which carried off the prize cup a^ the national show in Boston last year. They will contest for the prize cup. The team is composed of Messrs. Robertson, Dodds, Bachelor and Duck- ham. A big attendance of National Asso- ciation members is looked for. M. C. Ebel, Sec'y. THE SPHAQXITM PBOBLEM. Sphagnum moss has been scarce ever since the floods last fall shut off the supply earlier than it ever has been shut off before, but the worst part of the difliculty is that the winter has been so long and snowy that the spring gathered moss will not come onto the market as early or in as good shape as it usually does. Moss, therefore, is not now so hard to get, for the average flo- rist, as it is likely to be in the next few weeks. Good, clean, dry burlap-baled moss is now readily salable at $3 per bale. There is some wet, wire-baled moss coming out of "Wisconsin and, al- though it is stock that the retailer ordi- narily thinks he cannot use, this season he is glad to get it and thinks the house that sells it to him has done him a favor in letting him have it. Usually, at that, he is only able to get a few bales at a time. ial Ml Toil M Salvias Bonfire and Zurich.

Ontario Street, Philadelphia, Pa IMPORTKR, WHOLKBALK GROWKR AND SHIPPKR OF POT PLANTS 124 The Weekly Florists^ Review* MARCH 28, 1912. AMHEBST, MASS. Florists' day, held at the Massachu- setts Agricultural College March 14, in connection with farmers' week, was highly successful. Not as many com- mercial men attended the exercises as had been hoped and expected, but the fact that Easter was so near and that the florists are exceedingly busy was responsible in a large measure for the small attendance. The address by H. D. Haskins, of the Massachusetts Experiment Station, on "Fertilizers for Glass House Agri- culture," was interesting and instruct- ive. Mr. Haskins considered the rela- tion of the fertilizer question to green- house crops as compared with outdoor crops, and showed conclusively that in many cases the florists are overload- ing their soils with fertilizing elements, so that the soil becomes charged with substances which the plant cannot as- similate. He spoke of the best fertiliz- ers to use for securing sufScient nitro- fen, potash and phosphoric acid in soils or carnations, roses, sweet peas, cu- cumbers and lettuce. Dr. H. H. Whetzel, of Ithaca, N. Y., was obliged to cancel his engagement and Dr. J. K. Shaw, of the Massachu- setts Experiment Station, spoke on the principles of plant breeding. In the evening Dr. H. T. Fernald gave a fine address on some recent investigations in fumigation methods. He spoke prin- cipally of the use of potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide in greenhouse fu- migation. The flower exhibit in French hall was the finest ever held at the college and the institution is deeply indebted to the practical men for contributing the newer varieties of flowers so gen- erously to this exhibition. Following is a list of the contributors and the varieties shown: S. J. Ooddard, FramlDKbam. Mass. — Vases of carnations. Pink Delight, Gloriosa, White Wondei* and Beacon.

Business has been fair for mid-Lent and there is every prospect that Easter trade will be in excess of years before. Prices range low. There is a good sup- ply of everything, while violets are al- most a drug on the market. The warm weather of the last week sent them shooting ahead at such a rate that a majority of the growers will be oflp crop for Easter. Keports seem to indicate that there may be a shortage of first- class lilies for this great occasion. There appears to be a large supply of second rate stock, but first quality is reported short. Various Notes. Growers are much concerned over the boost in the price of fuel. Coal that was $3.25 a ton a year ago, delivered, is now $6.75 to $7.50 at the yard, and even at these figures the dealers are not willing to book orders of any quantity. Thev Dexter Greenhouses, under the new management of John Sharkey Co., report business as being good. Mr. Sharkey was formerly forestry manager for George Johnson & Son, at the Elm- wood Nurseries. E. Huntley, with F. Macrae & Sons, has been enjoying a vacation trip in the south. A lecture by James Robertson, of Newport, under the auspices of the Greystone Horticultural Society, was held March 25, This is the third of a series that has been held during the winter months. Mr. Robertson took for his topic "Dahlia Culture." The large plate glass window on the Chestnut street side in Macnair's new store has been wrecked by the severe winds three times during the last win- ter. J. A. Budlong & Sons Co., of Auburn, have purchased a new thirty horse- power Pope-Hartford automobile truck for delivery purposes. Charles Newton, formerly head gar- dener for I. T. Burden, of Newport, has succeeded Samuel Cunningham as super- intendent of the R. T. Wilson, Jr., estate at Palmetto Bluff, S. C. Arthur R. Magee and W. D. Burt are conducting the Interstate Forestry Co., at 226 Ed^ street. .Joseph Kopelman is considering the erection of at least two more green- houses at his range in Oaklawn. Eugene McCarron is preparing to be- gin the erection of a new greenhouse at his range on Hope street. W. H. M.

HEAT FOB COLDFBAMES. I wish to use hot water to heat some coldframes, and as I suspect that rules for greenhouse heating will ndt hold good for frames, I seek advice. The frames are of concrete and are 4x60 feet, inside measurement. The south or low side is twelve inches, the high side eighteen inches, above the ground level. The sashes are 3x4% feet. I thought of running a 2-inch flow on the high side, six inches from the sashes (this would cast no shade on the ground), with a 3-inch drop to the far- ther end, and then a drop down to twelve inches below the surface of the soil in the frames, branching into three 2-inch returns. Each frame would be piped in the same way. Lettuce and radishes will be the fall and winter crops, and about April 1 the frames will be bedded to sweet potatoes, for slips or plants. The potatoes will re- quire a soil temperature of 58 to 65 de- grees.

If I should connect the piping with the greenhouse boiler, will a cut-off valve be required at the head of each frame or only on the flow and return in the boiler roomf Can you give the heating capacity of the boiler? It is a round boiler, four feet high above the ash-pit and twenty-two inches in diam- eter. The fire-pot is twenty-seven inches high and eighteen inches in diameter. There is a 2-inch water leg around the fire-pot. The boiler has two 2-inch flows and two 2-ineh returns. C M. C. The plan proposed for heating cold- frames by means of hot water pipes is a good one and there should be no diffi- culty in keeping up the desired tem- perature in the frames. It will be necessary, of course, to have the boiler two or three feet below the level of the return pipes. A heater of the size de- scribed should be large enough to sup- ply 275 to 300 square feet of radiation. It will be best to have a valve upon each pipe where it enters the hotbeds. HEAT FOR TOMATO BEDS. I intend to grow plants for a catsup factory here and I shall build thirteen beds, 5%xl33 feet. I shall heat with steam, using a tubular boiler. As I am not familiar with steam heating, I should like to get some advice on the matter. I have plenty of 2-inch pipe on hand. My idea is to run a 2-inch pipe through the center of each bed, putting a stop-cock at the farther end and not returning the steam to the boiler, but letting it blow out of each valve. Now, a little advice on connecting the boiler would be greatly appreciated. The ground is almost level. I have to get my water pressure from a storage tank ten feet above ground and 150 feet from the boiler. Would this give pres- sure enough? I should also like to get a little in- formation on chemical fertilizers for tomato plants, as the ground is not as rich as it ought to be. The seed will be sown in rows six inches apart and the beds will be ground beds, covered with plant bed cloth in severe weather. W. S. The plan proposed for heating the hotbeds should work all right, as it will not only heat the air above the plants but will also furnish bottom heat. The pipes should be given a slight fall, so that the water will not become pock- eted. While a greater height for the THE CLARK OIL BURNER TRIED ADTD TESTED FOR THREE YEARS OK STEAM AND HOT WATER. Mr. Burton B. Crane, Florist, 27 South 16th St., Kansas City, Kan., states: I haTe used tbe Clark Oil Burner in my steam boiler the last two winters and think it far better than anything I know of for greenhouse heating, as it requires but little attention, and is very economical In tbe use of oil. I have run my boiler continuously for forty-eight hours without attention. I use the heavy fuel oil, which costs me two cents per gallon delivered, and find it fifty per cent cheaper than screened soft coal at ^3.30 per ton. Am not counting cost of handling coal and ashes. Mr. L. C. Fields, Florist, 328 N. 10th, Kansas City, Kan., states: I have used the Clark Oil Burner in my hot water boiler for the last two winters, and think it the best proposition for greenhouse heating I have ever used. If you could only fix it so it would start itself it would be O. K., as it needs no attention after it Is started. Facts Regarding the TTse of Oil as a Fuel. Perfect combustion is the object and can be obtained by thoroughly atomizing and spraying the Oil into tbe flre box. This is done by the action of steam upon the Oil while passing through an especially constructed atomizer, or oil burner. There are a great many so called Oil Burners being placed on the market, but the majority of them go to the Junk pile. Tnft Clark Suction Feed Oil Burner is adapted for low and high pressure steam boilers, hot water boilers. Furnaces, Ovens, etc. Our system does not require a lot of expensive pumping machinery for forcing the Oil through the Burner to tbe Fire Box, but by the action of the steam passing through the Burner. The Oil is sucked up from below the burner, passing through the burner it is thoroughly atomized and blown into tbe fire box, this suction feed insures safety, as when steam is shut off the burner, the oil stops flowing through the burner, while with the pressure or gravity feed burners. If anything should go wrong while tbe fireman Is out, the fire box and probably the boiler room would be flooded with oil. this oil coming in contact with tbe hot fire box would generate gas, and in all probability an explosion would follow. Our system automatically maintains an even pressure in the boiler. The flow of oil is not governed by means of a valve in the supply pipe, but by varying tbe steam pressure on the burner, that is by reducing the pressure on the burner, the flow of oil is reduced, and by increasing the steam pressure on the burner, the flow of oil is increased. Tbe variation of steam pressure on tbe burner is caused by an especially constructed pressure regrulatiac valve, which is placed in the steam pipe running from the boiler to the burner. This pressure regulating valve is quickly adjusted to any pressure required in the boiler. After it is set, it automatically varies the pressure on the burner, which reduces or increases the flow of oil as required to maintain an even pressure In the boiler. In other words, if the pressure rises higher than that at which tbe valve Is set, the oil is reduced, if tbe pressure drops below that at which the valve is set the oil is increased. Our burner has run forty-eight hours in succession without attention or variation of one pound of steam, bear this in mind when investigating oil burners. Our Oil Feed Tank is designed especially for our system. In this tank is a float, which maintains a constant level of oil In the tank, the tank is set so the oil level should be two Inches below level of burner nozzle. We have endeavored to explain the theory upon which our system operates, and believe that, after reading the accompanying directions, any steamfltter can properly install; and can be successfully operated by anyone who is capable of firing a boiler. Further information will be cheerfully given upon request. Tests made with our burners in both steam and hot water boilers show that 85 gallons of heavy fuel oil equal one ton of screened soft coal.

As a fertilizer, use upon each bed about twenty pounds of a preparation mixed in the following proportions: Fifty pounds of nitrate of soda, 150 pounds of dissolved bone or acid phos- phate, and fifty pounds of sulphate of potash. The fertilizer should be thor- oughly mixed with the soil to the depth of six inches. STOCK FROZEN IN QREENHOUSE. We met with a loss during the Jan- uary cold wave. One house was frozen badly. The cold weather was accom- panied by a terrific wind and our west house was frozen in spite of all the firing we could do. Now we are send- ing you a diagram of our houses, show- ing the arrangement of the piping, and we wish to know whether it should be necessary to put in more pipes, in this Ohio temperature. We are going to put in a larger boiler this summer, and if it will be advisable to put in more piping we shall do so. W. S. L. The diagram shows one house twenty- two feet wide, with two 2-inch overhead flow pipes and sixteen 1-inch pipes un- der the benches. The other house is sixteen feet wide, with two 2-inch over- head flows, one flow under the bench and fourteen 1-inch returns. Neither the letter nor the diagram gives any idea of the length of the houses, or in- dicates whether steam or hot water is used for heating. Neither is there a statement of the temperature required or the class of plants grown in the houses. If steam is used there is am- ple radiation for 65 degrees or more in each house, and, so far as can be deter- mined, the arrangement should give good results. In case hot water is used for heating the houses, the amount of radiation should be suflBcient to main- tain 50 degrees in the wider house and 55 degrees in the other house, except that the pipes are too small, and if the houses are more than fifty feet long, there should either be more flow pipes or they should be of a larger size. For the house twenty-two feet wide, if it is not more than 100 feet long and a temperature of 60 degrees is desired, use three 2i^-inch flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns. In the 16-foot house two 21^-inch flows and eight 2-inch re- turns should answer. This estimate is based on the supposition that tbe houses are well built and that there is no glass in the outside walls. There should be an additional return for each two feet of glass. Run all of the pipes down- hill and connect the expansion tank to the highest part of the flow pipes.

Saves Time, Labor and Money We call your attention to our Gravity Carriers for conveying soil into and out of greenhouses. You are aware of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Gravity Carriers to reduce this expense. Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly joined; the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length by 2 5i inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate. A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart contain- ing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which are pushed or conveyed by gravity into the house and dumped into the benches. Empty boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a convenient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work continued until all benches are filled. For .% removing soil the process is, of course, similar. We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and durability of the carriers; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your greenhouses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

This device is made in suitable lengths that can be easily handled In moving from one place to another, is all ball bearing and requires only the rising of one end to convey boxes, in which soil has been placed, to the outside of the house without handling, being carried by gravity. The Mathews people have a photo as we use it and no doubt will give you any information you desire, regarding it. The address is Mathews Gravity Carrier Company, Ell wood City, Pennsylvania. We had used a similar device, with wooden rollers, for a number of years, but must say that the ball bearing and light, though rigid, construction makes the Mathews Carrier a much more satisfactory machine for the reduction of labor.

A rising vote of thanks was ex- tended to Mr. Connor for his paper. In the discussion which followed, many valuable points were brought out, among them the fact that, for greenhouse sides, ashes and cement in the pro- portion of seven to one make a better job than more expensive combinations, providing the wall is finished with a ce- ment coating before it is dry, both out- side and inside. White and pink sweet peas were on exhibition from John E. Shreiner, daisies and roses from L. Landis and some of the finest golden marguerites I ever saw from Ira Landis, of Para- dise, Pa. In carnations the Wheatland Green- house Co. had fine vases of Pink De- light, White Enchantress, and Mrs. C. W. Ward. J. W. Bruckart, of Lititz, Pa., had Alma Ward and Mrs. C. W. Ward and two seedlings, one a magenta and the other a cerise pink, both of which attracted much attention. Chas. B. Herr, of Strasburg, had an extra fine vase of Gloriosa, and Amos Eohrer, of Strasburg, who clings to that which is good and grows it just a little better than the rest of us, showed a fine vase of Enchantress. H. D. Eohrer showed another vase of his new red, which holds up its quality right along; this seems to be a good feature, as we can see just how it compares each month with previous exhibits and learn its value as an all-season commercial flower. Mr. Connor was considerably surprised at the number we had in attendance and at the size of the exhibits, which compared favorably with the special oc- casion exhibits of the older clubs. Our next meeting, which will be held April 18, will be devoted to sweet peas and the paper will be read by Chas. Weaver, who is recognized as an author- ity on sweet peas, not only here in Lancaster, but in other sections as well. Enthusiasts of this flower who may want to send some flowers for this meet- ing should send them to H. A. Schroyer, Lancaster, Pa. They will find an ap- preciative audience. Albert M. Herr.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 145 A Few Cents' Worth of Gas or Gasoline each day will give you plenty of water at high pressure every day in the year, and you won't need to use an overhead or storage tank either. After years spent in studying the florists' and garden- ers' water supply question, we developed a line of pumps and engines that are adaptable to almost any conditions. We have combined the two in one unit and make them in sizes that give a capacity of from 400 to 4000 gallons per honr. All Standard Machines are fully guar- anteed and if not satisfactory, may be returned at our expense, and purchase price will be refunded. Standard Pumping Engines may be used to pump directly into the pipe line and will give & steady, even stream suitable for spraying, irrigating or applying liquid fertilizers. They can also be used with any other kind of elevated tank or air pressure systems when preferred. Tell us the conditions to be met in your case and we'll tell you the best system to overcome your diffi- culties. Write fully about all possible sources of supply and the work to be done.

Do you know of a Bordeaux mixture which is made without lime, and which is good for fairy ring on carnations? The lime clogs the sprayer so badly that it is certainly hard to use. L. M. S. & C. Lime is an essential constituent of Bordeaux mixture. There should be no trouble with clogging of the sprayer if the solution is strained through a fine wire strainer before putting it in the sprayer. W. H. T. SAVING ASTEE SEED. I should like to know when is the proper time to harvest early aster seed. Is it better to pull up the plants when they are just done blooming and still a little green, or wait until they are thoroughly dried out late in the fall? W. J. K. It will not do to pull up the aster plants as soon as the flowers are faded, as the seed is then in an immature con- dition. Wait until the plants are fairly well dried. Examine one of the flowers, and if the seeds look plump the plants are ready to be pulled up. C. "W. SUEFACE SOIL IS GEEEN. Our Easter lilies are green and healthy, with no sign of insects or disease, but the soil in the pots is turn- ing green. Will that do the plants any damage? If so, what shall we do for them? This is our first trial with Easter lilies. L. M. S. & C. The green growth on the surface of the soil in the lily pots is due to fre- quent waterings, and is not specially harmful. W. H. T.

It has affected the snapdrag- on and geranium leaves, and, in fact, nearly all plants in the greenhouse. We are new at the business. We had grown a crop of lettuce and were told that the ground was all right for our next crop, but it was a failure. We planted it October 12 and some of it is not quite ready now. We have put sulphur on the pipes and watered with nitrate of soda. The sweet peas all seem to be getting affected. F. W, Your foliage was badly scorched and this has undoubtedly been caused by the sulphur on the pipes, which has been too strong. Watering with nitrate of soda is likely to be more injurious than beneficial in winter, unless applied in moderate doses and only when the plants really need it. Liquid cow or sheep manure would be much safer to apply, and is better than nitrate of soda for both the peas and snapdragons. Your house should be kept at 48 to 50 degrees at night, and if sweet peas and snapdragons are in solid beds they will give better results than when in raised benches. C. W. Benton Harbor, Mich. — A.

From the statement it is not quite clear whether the trouble is due to the nature of the putty used or to the con- dition of the sashbars. The glazing should not be done until the sashbars have received one good coat of paint in addition to the priming coat. If this is given and the putty is of good quality it should last for many years, if the house is kept properly painted. It is possible that a part of the trouble may be due to the putty being applied over instead of under the glass.

To make greenhouse putty, mix whit- ing and linseed oil so as to secure the proper consistency and then add about five per cent by weight of white lead. In glazing a greenhouse, apply enough putty to fill the shoulders on the sash- bars and then press down the glass firmly, so as to squeeze out all surplus putty and fill the space under and at the sides of the panes.

CANAL SM. SUNBURNT PALM FOLIAGE. Enclosed you will find some leaves of what was formerly a fine kentia palm. It is about 10 years old and stands about five and one-half feet tall, with lots of leaves. This particular palm has always been our special favorite, because always green and healthy until about two months ago, when it began to show these discolored spots. Can you tell us what to do? It is in good, rich soil and was repotted last spring. It is kept in a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees, in a moist house, with ferns. About two or three months ago the ferns began to die of rust. Is it pos- sible that the palm contracted this disease from the ferns? These spots look like fairy ring on carnations, while the ferns are rusty all over. Please tell us, also, what is the matter with the rubber plant, a leaf of which I enclose. L. M. S. & C. The kentia leaflets show no disease, but are badly sunburnt. The injury is caused by a blister in the glass, which acts as a convex lens, focusing the rays of the sun in such a way as to burn streaks across the leaves. The best remedy is to hunt for the worst blisters in the glass (there may be several of them), put a dab of white paint on each blister on the under side of the glass, and then give the glass a light shading on the outside. The ficus leaves have been injured in the same way; the leaf in question shows one old burn and two fresh ones. W. H. T.

Brock, who for the last three years has had charge of the landscape work on the estates of W. S. Kilmer, has opened offices, as a landscape gardener, at 208 Press building. He has had a life experience in the profession. Grand Eapids, Mich.— The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. is planning to be- gin the rebuilding of its greenhouses as soon as the spring and early sum- mer rush is over. The old houses, which were erected one at a time as the business expanded, will be replaced with strictly modern structures. New Rochelle, N. T.— F. C. Hitch- cock, at 39 Birch street, has forced 75,000 bulbs this season. The single daffodils have done splendidly, but a large proportion of the tulips have been blind. "According to my experience with bulbs," he says, "if they are dried out and allowed to rest a month or so before being planted, they force much better." Sochester, N. Y. — Colin Ogston, gar- dener at the Kimball conservatories, has a type of Gypripedium insigne that throws two flowers on a stem. A grand lot of seedlings can be seen here, with no two alike in beauty of marking and coloring. Some especially fine IsBlias were here seen in bloom, including L. superbiens, Gouldiana, alba and Stella. In carnations, Scarlet Glow is superior here to Beacon, both in habit of growth and quality of bloom. Ironton, O. — Weber Bros, have been in business here for nine years and have completely rebuilt the range. The work of rebuilding has been done in a most substantial manner and cement construction has been used as largely as possible. Even the gutters, as well as most of the benches, are of concrete. The range now comprises about 20,000 square feet of glass, and another house, 28x100, is in process of erection. The contract has also been let for a new office and workroom, to be built in the spring. The members of the firm have a feeling of great relief and satisfac- tion, they say, when they compare the present new and durable buildings with "the old shacks" which they at first owned.

It would be use- less for those on little traveled resi- dence streets to spend considerable sums on windows, for the number of people who would see the displays would, jus- tify no more than moderate cost. But the A. W. Smith Co., in Pittsburgh, has a never-ending procession of peo- ple passing its portals and makes splen- did use or the advertising possibilities in its windows. The accompanying illustration, pre- pared from a photograph made through the glass by artificial light, shows a spring window that is typical of their displays. W. A. Clarke, treasurer of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., who recognized the picture as one of inter- est to the trade and sent it to The Review, says: "This display was run- ning three weeks and I never passed it, day or night, that there were not a number of people stopping to look, and in the middle of the day I frequently have seen them three deep in front of the window." The window really is about 20x30, but appears much larger, as the background is a canvas carrying a well executed Holland scene. The foreground is laid out in lawn and beds planted with flowering bulbs. The grass was grown in boxes made special- ly for the work and the bulbs were planted just as the buds were ready to expand, so that the people passing daily could see the garden grow. The display was good for ten days and was then renewed, so that in all it ran three weeks. EFFIOrENOT. Of Both Employer and Employee. To be eflScient is the aim of all em- ployees worthy of the consideration of an employer and, to their credit be it said, the majority of clerks and dec- orators in florists' stores strive as hard and succeed as well as those in other branches of business. There are, of course, painful examples of how not to do it in this as in other lines of en- deavor, but we need not consider them. They are not the kind that ever read a trade paper or any other, save, perhaps, the so-called "sporting" pages of the yellow journals. We need not write for such, but rather call the attention of those who are doing good work to a few of their own shortcomings and in- clude employers as well as employees. Possibly it may be well to mention a few failings of employers first. From school days upward, those who have to work for a living have their "duty" drilled into them pretty regularly, so they can afford to wait a little, while we consider how near the average re- tailer comes to being eflScient as a busi- ness man and an employer. The Employer — Is He a Faultfinder? Some employers seem to have an idea that to get the best out of a man you have always to be driving him, always telling him he is wrong and magni- fying his faults, forgetting entirely the few or many virtues he possesses. Now, in a certain type of man this constant faultfinding at first breeds a kind of nervousness, a want of confidence in himself and a feeling that he is not doing himself justice. Then some day the faultfinder overreaches himself and storms at his employee for doing some- thing that he has before recommended) him to do. From this time on the re- ings of one employee to another, while never finding fault openly with any. No type of employer is less respected than this, for employees talk among them- selves and, sooner or later, what the "boss" says becomes common property. Is He OenerouB or Niggardly? Again, some employers are much of- fended if one of the boys asks for half a day off to see a ball game, or to go to a matinee or some other amusement. He forgets entirely the many extra hours put in on Sundays, holidays and at other times when men in other walks of life are free to do as they please and go where they like. Such grasping methods never succeed, for it is not in nature to expect that employee to be always keyed up and anxious for his employer 's interest, as the truly eflScient employee should be. Outsidie of questions of this kind, an eflScient employer will always be study- ing how to increase the eflSciency of his force and how to get out of the men the most they are capable of, without either driving or finding fault. When dealing with young men he will at least affect an interest in their welfare, in Garden Scene in Window of A, W. Smith G)^ Pittibtsrgh. spect of that individual employee is lost and he takes no more notice of even good advice, which, in justice it must be said, the faultfinder is often capable of giving. . Another type of employer is always talking about the faults and shortcom- their amusements or hobbies, as far as is compatible with proper discipline, and will give them advice on any ques- tion that may crop up in the course of life, either in or out of the store. He will strive, in short, to show them that he has an interest in them and that he 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 4, 1912. expects them to take ,iust as keen an interest in him and his business. Is He Kind and Considerate? Any man worth his salt appreciates the kindly thought of an employer that leads him to inquire after a sick mother, wife or child. Treat employees as though they were human and had as- pirations and feelings on a plane with your own, if you wish for loyal and ungrudging service. An ambitious, aspiring employee may have notions and ideas that to a more seasoned, experien(!ed man may seem impractical. But listen to him and praise whatever good there may be in his suggestions. At least give him the credit of being in earnest and anxious to help you in your business; do not laugh at him and thereby cause other employees, of the brainless type, who never could imagine anything for your good, let alone advancing it, to laugh at him too. If you do this he will probably shut up as tight as an oyster; whatever he thinks, be it valuable or otherwise, he will keep it to himself in future and ho is not to blame. longer to select a couple of dollars' worth of flowers than you are accus- tomed to. Have patience and use tact with such customers. The efficient sales- man is always the tactful one and would never let his customer know that he was impatient. It is not given to everyone to be able to read character swiftly or to discern, almost intuitively, the class of customer he is dealing with. The salesman who has this power has a valuable asset in his business, while he who has it not will do well to culti- vate it, and the testy, fussy customer is often a good medium to practice on. If suggestions are asked for, make a suggestion, and get into the habit of noting immediately whether your sug- gestion meets with favor or not. As a rule, there is only an instant in which to determine this in one way or an- other, and that is immediately after you have made the suggestion. Drop it at once if your customer's face tells you it is wrong, for with some ])eople this is the only intimation you will get. Is He WUling to "Even Up"? Another point that makes for effi- New Store of H. A. Fisher Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. ciency in an employee is interest. A man who has the interest of his em- ployer at heart will never mind work- ing an extra hour or two in the even- ing when necessary. Even in the best managed and busiest retail stores, there are times when no employee, however anxious he may be to do so, can earn the money he is paid. Slack times come in the retail business and, when these are considered', it ought not to be a hardship to wait on a late cus- tomer or help with funeral work after hours, when that is the only way of evening up the slack times and recom- pensing your employer for the money paid you for time unprofitably occu- pied from a financial point of view. A man cannot be eflScient who thinks oth- erwise than this, for good work is never done complainingly. Does He Keep Himself "Fit"? In the matter of personal habits out- side the store, every man has a duty to his employer. A man who, by wrong methods of living, late hours and ex- cesses, dissipates his health and ren- ders his work irksome, is neglecting his duty just as much as one who "sol- diers" during working hours. No em- ployer has a right to dictate to an em- ployee what he shall do or how he shall spend his time after hours, but, on the other hand, there is no loyal worker, no efficient employee, in short, but will so order his methods of enjoyment or spend his leisure hours in such a way that he is physically and mentally "fit" at all times. To be efficient means far more than to be ready to work at a cer- tain^ hour each day, and there are many more points than can possibly be touched on in the limits of a short note. FISHER'S NEW STOBE. At Kalamazoo, Mich., the H. A. Fisher Co., retail, has done a steadily increasing business for years, drawing most of its supplies from the Chicago market. Recently increased facilities became necessary and a new store was fitted up. The equipment is shown in the accompanying illustrations. Both the photographs were made looking to- ward the front of the store. One shows The Salesman — Is He Courteous? And now a word to the employees. In a business like that of the florists, which to a great extent depends upon the patronage of people who are able and wnlling to pay for luxuries, con- siderable deference must be shown to the likes and dislikes of these patrons. A servile, fawning attitude is not neces- sary; it is un-American, unmanly and out of date. Nobody who is worth con- sidering looks for it in these enlight- ened days, but they do look for cour- tesy and prompt attention. The quietly dressed gentleman who enters your eni- ]>loyer's store may be a man whose time is worth far more to him than the $10 or $20 he spends upon the flowers he is sending to a friend. No matter, then, how interesting that conversation may be with your fellow clerks, cut it out quickly and attend to your cus- tomer. That is what you are paid to do. Is He Tactful? Possibly the next customer may be one who has more time than anything else at his or her disposal, and takes New Store of H. A. Fisher Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. April 4, 1912.

Of late the newspapers have taken to working up special pages of advertising regarding one department of trade or another. The plan has been for the paper to provide a story, perhaps for the center of a page, and for the so- licitors to sell the spaces around the story to those who were interested in the special subject to which the page was devoted'. A Detroit society journal last week published such a page in the interest of the Easter flower business. The page is photographically reproduced in the accompanying illustration. The two center columns at the top carried "an appreciation of the florists of De- troit," which was as follows: ' ' Had Dame Nature been endowed with power and authority to designat'^- those who should act as her special representatives in the placing of her beautiful flowers and greens in the homes of the people of Detroit, it seems that she could have done no better than name the very persons who are today engaged in this delightful business in Detroit. "It requires more than the cold, dis- criminating business sense to be a truly successful florist. Coupled with this there must be an enduring appreciation of the sublime mission of the bud, the blossom and the bloom — a spirit of co- operation with Nature in bringing the benign influence of the beautiful and the fragrant to bear on the busy men and women of this day. "This spirit seems to pervade the flower shops of Detroit. Little bowers of })eauty — delightful havens of rest — they breathe little of the air of com- mercialism, but turn one's first thoughts to the simple grandeur of the works of Nature. ' ' The florists of Detroit have done much to extend the influence of the flower and the green, not only by giving them homes of architectural attractive- ness, delivery cars of extreme elegance and other physical appointments of mer- it and great value, but also by point- ing out to us the gladsome message the flower carries to the sick room, to the dining table, to the marriage cere- mony, to the friend — and the message of sublime sweetness it conveys to the world on Easter morn. ' ' The florists of Detroit have pros- pered. They have added to their mate- rial possessions because they have taught well the lesson of the beautiful. They have prospered because not only Dame Nature's handiwork is constantly find- ing new admirers, new worshipers, but because they, too, are appreciated. Theirs is a delightful calling. They justly deserve the reward it carries with it." EUROPEAN NOTES. Blushing Bride, a fine blush pink form of Azalea Indica, with semi- double flowers, three and one-half inches in diameter, exhibited by James Veitch & Sons, Ltd., London, received an award of merit from the Royal Hor- ticultural Society. On the same day similar awards were made to Rhodo- dendron Cornubia, with reddish crim- son flowers, from R. Gill & Sons, Fal- mouth, and to Pteris Parkeri, a fern of great promise for market purposes.

The Origin of Soil. What is soil? Soil is the home of the roots of the plant. Soil is the store- house for that part of the food which the plant takes in through its roots. Soil is the laboratory, or kitchen, where the food is prepared. And this work goes on unceasingly. Lastly, soil is a support to hold the plant firmly in its place. But what is soil? Soil is finely di- vided rock, as can be readily seen with a microscope, clay being the finest and sand and gravel the coarsest of the divisions. In between the sand and the clay we have what are generally known as loamy sand, sandy loam, loam, clayey loam and loamy clay. These divisions are based upon the size of the soil grains and the different percentages of each size in a given soil. They are, of course, not arbitrarily fixed, there being unnumbered variations of soils. Now, if we consider soils as broken and decomposed rock, the first question that comes to eur minds is: How and when were the rocks which originally covered the face of the earth converted into soil? Certainly ages and ages be- fore man appeared on the earth. In fact, before animal life of any kind could exist there must have been vege- tation; and vegetation of the higher forms could not exist on bare rock. Probably the commencement of the dis- integration was coincident with the ap- pearance of plant life in the lowest form. Geologists tell us that the earth was once a molten mass; also, that the water which now composes the oceans was probably in the form of a dense vapor which surrounded the red-hot earth. Naturally, the earth began to cool and, as it cooled, it contracted. The result of this was that the surface subsided in some places and wrinkled in others, thus producing the sea basins, valleys and hills. When the surface had cooled sufficiently (and this cooling was hastened by the vapor in the air) the vapor condensed and fell as rain or snow, and thus began to wear or weath- er the rock. Frost and heat assisted the water in disintegrating and break- ing up the surface. Some time after the surface had cooled sufficiently, vegetation began its existence. Mrst came almost microscopic forms, the mosses and lichens which are able to extract nourishment from almost any rock. These by their death and decay formed a thin film of vegetable matter on the rock and a stronger growth took place, which in turn died, decayed and gave way to a still stronger and higher form of vegetation; and so on till grass, shrubs and even trees were able to ex- ist. This decayed vegetable matter in the soil is called humus. And this hu- ^^^Pu=^'^'-^(^^ A paper by Alfred Burton, rose grower, read before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, April 2, 1912. mus helps to disintegrate the rock by holding moisture and by supplying acids which increase the solvent powers of the water on the rock. When a soil contains much of this humus it is called a vegetable mold. Eich garden soils are good representatives of this class. A soil that contains vegetable matter that has only partly decomposed under water is called a peaty soil. Such soils are found in swamps and bogg and are generally sour and need to be aerated and limed before using. Importance of Humus. While organic matter, or humus, is by no means indispensable to plant life, and though it is a debatable question whether plants derive any nourishment from it direct, it is of great importance in enabling the soil to hold water, in making the soil more friable and easily worked, and in supplying carbonic acid, which feeds the plant and acts on the soil, dissolving and making available other foods, such as soda, potash and magnesium, which are held in an insol- uble state in the soil. Humus also gives the dark color to the soil, which enables it to absorb the heat rays of the sun more readily and thus warm up more quickly in the spring. True clay is composed of silicate of alumina, but the term clay in agricul- ture is employed rather loosely, being given to soils that contain a large percentage of impalpable rock dust with little of the true clay present. Some authorities give the following percent- age composition of the various soils: Clay or impalpable matter. Sand. Heavy clay 75 to 90% 10 to 25% Clay loam 60 to 75% 25 to 40% Loam 40 to 60% 40 to 60% Sandy loam 25 to 40% 60 to 75% Light sandy loam 10 to 25% 75 to 90% Sand 0 to 10% 90 to 100% DC 3C aa Light and Heavy Soils. These percentages are by weight of the dry soil. We hear the terms light and heavy applied to soils. These terms have no reference to the weights of the soil, but are used in reference to the mechanical condition. A light soil is one that con- tains considerable sand, falls apart and works easily. A heavy soil is one that is stiff and tenacious, with more clay than sand. It is a fact that a heavy soU actually weighs less than a light one. A tenacious or adhesive clay soil can be greatly improved by the addition of sand, lime or vegetable matter, which tend to separate the particles of clay. It is' this adhesiveness of clay which causes heavy soils to crack when drying. Clay expands much more than light soil's when wet and shrinks upon drying and, owing to the adhesiveness of the par- ticles of which it is composed, the shrinking causes the cracks to appear. These cracks are, naturally, injurious to the roots of the plants, breaJiing and pulling them apart. Sand does not change its bulk by wetting or drying. Likewise, a sandy soil can be improved - mechanically by the addition of clay, lime or vegetable matter. Lime has the peculiar power of lightening heavy soils and also of making light soils hold to- gether better, bringing the two extremes to a happy mean, as it were. The Composition of Soils. The general chemical composition of soils is extremely similar, owing to the general mixing of the soil ingredients that has been going on since soil first began to form, through the action of water dissolving and carrying material from place to place, through the action, of streams, floods and glaciers, of bur- rowing animals, worms, etc., of the wind and even plants. m-^'ms-^^'^-^^^t^^^^m Flowers are More than Mere Merchandise. ^. i ^■"'~ v^v ~" Afbil 4, 1912. The Weekly Horists' Review. 11 Silica or quartz, because it is so hard and insoluble, is the chief ingredient both by volume and weight of all soils. It is a combination of silicon and oxy- gen. Aluminum probably comes next in abundance, being a fundamental con- stituent of true clay, feldspar and mica. One of the other elements in the soil is oxygen, which occurs free and in com- bination with nearly all the other ele- ments. Carbon occurs as part of the humus, also united with calcium and magnesium in the form of carbonates; also as carbonic acid gas, which plays such an important part in the solution of plant food. Sulphur occurs as sul- phates. Hydrogen is united with oxygen in the water. Chlorine occurs in limited quantities, generally in the form of com- mon salt, sodium chloride. It seems to be in some way essential to plant life. Phosphorus is never found in nature in a free state, but always combined with some other substance. It is generally distributed through the soil, but in small quantities, and is essential to plant life. i Nitrogen is found in the soil in a combined form in the humus and the vegetable and animal matter, which upon decaying give up the nitrogen in the form of ammonia, which is turned into nitric acid by bacteria. The nitric acid unites wth potash, soda or other soil ingredients and is taken up by the plant as a nitrate. Nitrates are ex- tremely soluble and easily washed out of the soil. Calcium and magnesium, in the form of carbonates, compose the limestone beds of the earth. Both cal- cium carbonate, or lime, and magnesia are necessary plant foods, and both are generally present in the soil in suffi- cient quantities to supply the plants with the required amount. Potassium is another element found in soils which is very necessary. Tt is widely dis- tributed as a constituent of some feld- spars and micas. Sodium, which is the base of common salt, is also widely dis- tributed. It resembles potassium as a chemical element, but can in no sense take its place in plant life. Iron is al- ways present in the soil in sufficient quantities for the plant. It would be supposed that, to find what foods are necessary for soils, all that would be necessary would be chemical analysis of that particular soil. Then if any element was found to be lacking in sufficient quantity, the addition of this or these elements would give the desired results. But chemical analyses of the soil as they have been made, unfortunately, can and do throw but a dim and uncertain light upon either the condition or the amount of plant food a soil may con- tain. Futility of Chemical Analysis. It is true that the results of these analyses show a marked difference in soils, but, from the data at hand, these variations may reasonably be supposed to be due more to the relative size of the soil grains than to any chemical differences in the composition of the soil. Taking an average of different analyses of soils, the following has been stated by one writer: On a farm where a three-year rotation composed of corn, clover and oats was followed, the corn and oats being sold and the straw, fodder and clover returned to the ground, there would be potash enough to last 1,521 years; soda, 4,050 years; magnesia, 3,300 years; lime, Alfred Burton. 4,387 years; phosphoric acid, only 542 years; sulphuric acid, 292 years; solu- ble silica, 17,650 years. These amounts of plant food are what chemical analyses have told us were in the top foot of soil, and we know that plants send their roots forag- ing two, three and four feet down. And the subsoil is sometimes richer in cer- tain ingredients than the surface or top soil. Seeing these figures, a man taking up farming who was not familiar with agricultural or horticultural pursuits would think it superfluous to add any more of these elements to his soil. "When his fields contained already nearly two tons of Pj 0, in each acre, and over three tons Kj O, of what earthly use would it be to add a paltry twenty-five or fifty pounds more? Why, it would be lost. A chemist with the most accurate and careful analysis could never find it. It would be money thrown away. But we know from practical experi- ence that ninety-nine times out of 100 his crops would be increased more than enough to pay for the manure or fer- tilizer added. We know that, in spite of these figures, which there is no rea- son at all to doubt, soils do need fertil- izing, that they do play out, that farms do run down and become unproductive. And only by feeding can the soil be kept up to its full fertility. So we cannot be governed by a chemical analysis as to the different elements our soils need. The only way is by experiments and careful observa- tion. (Oonttnued on page 66.) PALMEB SUES NEW YOEK STATR Admitting that the dread gypsy moth was found in two azaleas in his green- houses at Lancaster, N. Y., but denying that it was in other azaleas and rho- dodendrons that comprised a shipment which was destroyed by the State De- partment of Agriculture, William J. H. Palmer has instituted suit against the State of New York for $12,000. Mr. Palmer has applied for a writ of mandamus for State Commissioner Calvin J. Huson, to determine the value of the boxes, containers and plants de- stroyed. The commissioner declares that the dread moth, last October, got as far as Lancaster, so near Buffalo, it is said, that City Forester Filer got an attack of chills, and that former Commissioner Person, who was then in office, notified Mr. Palmer that the plants were infest- ed and, on failure to destroy them, the state did the work. The commissioner further charges that Mr. Palmer, con- trary to the law governing plant ship- ments from foreign states, unpacked the shipment, and that thereby the pest spread to the entire shipment. Mr. Palmer denies all that and declares that the state wantonly destroyed valu- able nursery stock. Hartford, Conn. — Spear & McManus, the Asylum street florists, have pur- chased a Ford delivery car.

With sweet peas and asters, gladioli are among the most important of out- door crops today. The improvement in varieties is as remarkable as the in- crease in their culture. During the ex- tremely hot weather we can always de- pend on getting gladioli of good qual- ity. The indogr plantings will give us fine spikes until the middle or end of June and, to provide a succession for these, it is necessary to plant a batch outdoors just as soon as the frost is out of the ground and it has dried suffi- ciently. Plant the bulbs six inches deep. They will not blow over then, as when planted shallow, and will have their roots in moist earth when the hot weath- er arrives. Do not use fresh manure for gladioli. The older and more rotted it is, the better. All the popular large flowering indoor varieties, such as Shakespeare, Augusta, Baron Hulot, Dawn, Mrs. Francis King, the peerless America, the brilliant Brenchleyensis, Independence, Klondyke and others, do well outdoors, but be sure to plant them deeplv. Hydrangeas. Now that Easter stock is out of the way, we should give the much needed bench room to the hydrangeas for Me- morial day. These plants will have been standing quite close together and a liberal spreading out will be much needed. Water freely and supplement this with doses of liquid manure, which can be given more frequently and stronger from the time the flower heads show until they show color. Keep the plants clean, and to accomplish this a spraying with nicotine or a fumigation every eight or ten days will be neces- sary. Memorial Day Bench Crops. While Easter is an important flower festival, the demand is each year rela- tively stronger for pot plants than for cut flowers, while at Memorial day the reverse is the case. Often at Easter cut flower prices, except for a few special- ties, are disappointing, while at Me- morial day practically every flower, no matter of what color, will sell, as ev- eryone is buying. It means the making or losing of many good dollars to hit it right with Memorial day crops, and every care from this time on should \><^ given the crops in beds or benches, of ten weeks ' stocks, double feverfew, snapdragons, candytuft, gladioli, spi- raeas, etc. Weather has a great influence on these crops and, as we can never tell in advance what we are to get, we should plan to have the crops suffi- ciently advanced so that they can be kept cool and well aired for a few days before the date for cutting. Caladium Esculentum. There is no advantage in starting Caladium esculentum too early, as they grow fast and take up a lot of valuable space. Big roots are neither necessary nor desirable, but be quite sure to start them in a brisk heat. They can be placed singly in pots, but in flats of sand and leaf -mold they are more easily and expeditiously handled. Once they are well started into growth they can be given rather cooler quarters. Olivias. Olivias, or imantophyllums, are at- tractive and showy spring flowering plants, which are seen to a rather lim- ited extent in the retail stores. Now, when the flowering period is passing, is a suitable time to do any repotting. Large plants can be carefully broken up and strong individual growths, con- taining as many active roots as pos- sible, be placed singly in 6-inch to 8-inch pots. The drainage must bo ample. For compost, fibrous loam, lumpy dried cow manure, coarse sand and broken charcoal are suitable. Keep the plants rather close and warm for a few weeks; then give them ordinary greenhouse treatment. Olivias are easily injured by too much water at the roots^ and it is always safe to under rather than oversupply them with moisture. In summer they can be kept in a shady spot outdoors. The trouble always is that torrential rains will sodden the plants and cause many to rot off at the collar. For these reasons a shaded greenhouse is to be preferred for sum- mer culture. There are now many fine hybrids of divias and the old 0. miniata was long ago outclassed. Left-over Azaleas. A frequent inquiry at this season is, "What shall I do with my left-over azaleas?" Pick off all the flowers and seed pods, keep them in a cool house and, as soon as danger from frost has passed, plant them outdoors where you can reach them with the hose and syr- inge them freely during hot, dry weather. You can give them a mulch of old, decayed manure to prevent the soil drying out so much. Any good gar- den soil will suit azaleas. They are par- ticularly fond of leaf-mold and should not be planted in ground recently limed. Plants treated in this way will be much more heavily set with flower buds than those you import. They can be lifted and potted about the end of September. I '•}^^sm^^t*^i9^.'^^ % % % ^^.•'yr»|•'fe^.-»)•^;r»!)V■'»>•fe^.'»>•^^<»^•-^^^»^•^■'»^•^g';^( MR. DOOGUE ON LAWNS I I 1 THE CARE OF LAWNS. The old-fashioned catalogue was merely a price list — it described the goods, perhaps with a picture, and told the cost, but it stopped there. The modern method, however, is to tell how the goods are used, or even to i)rovide a fund of general information with re- gard to the subject to which the mer- chandise is related. So, when the Dun ham Co., of Berea, O., planned a booklet on lawn rollers it secured from Luke ,1. Doogue a comprehensive discussion on the whole subject of the care of lawns. Mr. Doogue is widely known in the trade as the superintendent of the public grounds in Boston. What he has to say on the care of lawns is, in part, as follows: In the spring, one of the questions most frequently asked of horticultural people is: "How can I make a lawn?" or ' ' How can I remake a lawn, and aft- erwards keep it in good condition?" The answer to such a question, without going into details, should be: By using good seed, sown with a seeder; good loam, a hose, a good lawn mower, an abundance of "sticktoitiveness," and last, but not least, a good roller. This question and reply naturally suggest another question, which is: "What is a good lawn?" And the re- ply to this is: A satisfactory lawn is one with a smooth surface, of evenly colored grass, with a sod that is strong and elastic to the tread, and on which the grass grows so fine and close that weeds cannot find an entrance there. These inquiries about making lawns come mostly from people who, while fully realizing the commercial and ar- tistic value of a well-kept grass plot about a dwelling, have, either through carelessness or lack of persistence, never been able to attain the much de- sired end. Investigation of the in- quiries has shown that the land con- ditions surrounding such places may be divided into two classes: One where there is sufficient depth of good loam on which the grass has gradually petered out, allowing an ever increasing mass of weeds to push in and take its place, and the other a poor, gravelly soil, with- out possibilities, regardless of what might be done to it. The treatment for the first example lited is simple. It will not be neces- sary to spade up the ground and re- seed, for just as good results can be jiroduced by a simpler method and in much shorter time. Take a sharp iron rake, sharpen the teeth if necessary, and after first digging out the weeds, scratch deep into the soil, breaking it up as fine as possible. After doing this, sow grass seed liberally. After sowing, roll the ground. After this water, and when the water has soaked in use the roller again. You need not be afraid of hurt- ing either the seed or the loam, for it was because of a lack of this heavy rolling that the land and sod petered out. If you have been so fortunate as to use first-class seed it will not be Apbil 4, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 long before an improved condition will be noticed. Treatment for the second condition mentioned above should be radical. There is nothing to do in such a case but to dig out the gravel, or poor soil, and put in that which is suitable. There is no short cut to success through such conditions. Don't deceive yourself by thinking that good soil can be brought about by the addition of fertilizers and patent grass foods. Of course, if you are striving for a tem- porary growth of grass it can be ac- complished by fertilizers, but for a per- manent lawn the loam conditions must be right. Fertilizers are very useful at times, but to apply them to gravel or poor soil with the expectation of sup- plying plant food, will only spell failure. After you have taken out the poor soil, put in a foot and one-half or, bet- ter, two feet of the best loam you can find. On this sow your seed, and the results will surely be satisfactory. Making a lawn is no work for a lazy man. It takes a hustler, and one that is willing to stick to the work until success comes. Lawns do not happen; they are the results of intelligent and hard work. THE MADISON ROSE. Elwood Brant and Henry Hentz, Jr., who compose the Brant-Hentz Flower Co., of Madison, N. J., are extremely enthusiastic over their new rose, Madi- son, said to be a seedling of Bride crossed with Perle des Jardins, shown in the accompanying illustration. Madison was shown at the Detroit ex- hibition of the American Rose Society, but has not been seen at many places outside of New York, so that the pic- ture will be of special interest. The raisers say that their novelty will be tried out next season in all parts of the country. If it makes good on all the points of merit claimed for it, an im- portant addition to the list of forcing roses will have resulted, for Messrs. Brant and Hentz use strong terms in describing both its growth and selling qualities. •^^ STERS. The earliest sowing of asters has now produced strong plants in flats. These will in a few days go into benches in a house now occupied by miscellaneous Easter stock. The variety chiefly grown is Queen of the Market, but some Early Wonder and Comet are also grown. However, the first named proves to be most generally useful for indoor culture, especially where undis- budded flowers are desired. The giant Comets are good for forcing to single stems, or reducing to a small number of flowers per plant, but these fancy flowers must be sold at a good price to make them as profitable as the smaller flowers of the reliable Queen of the Market. A compost which will grow good sweet peas, mums or roses, will produce equally good asters. Give it a dressing of air-slaked lime, as at least a partial preventive of stem-rot. Allow the plants 10x12 inches where all flow- ers are to be left; where disbudded and staked they can go much closer, but the undisbudded flowers will suit the average retail florist the best. Asters like a cool, airy house, not over 50 de- grees at night. Treatment such as mums enjoy will suit them. The end of March is an opportune ' jyf» ..**f ^_ ^ ">> »<^. t t / fr^- •,!**. ■*^.

The seed may be sown either in flats in the greenhouse, or in rows in a gentle hotbed; by utiliz- ing the latter, the pressure on the green- houses is relaxed a little and the aster seedlings will be finer than those pro- duced with fire heat, besides being less liable to succumb to the several aster diseases. Asters are an important outdoor crop, and a thorough preparation of the ground is necessary where the best re- sults are to be achieved. We like to plow, after manuring liberally, in late fall, leaving the ground rough; then, in the spring, when the soil has sufficiently dried, we harrow it well and keep stirred until planting time, using the smoothing harrow just before setting out the plants. There is, of course, am- ple time yet to make additional aster sowings. Some growers prefer to sow nearly all their late batches outdoors, as it is a proven fact that outdoor raised seedlings are stronger nnd far more im- mune from disease than greenhouse raised seedlings. Overcrowding in the flats before transplanting, careless wa- tering and burying the stems too deeply are all potent causes of many of these early plants going off in the field before flowering time. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Meeting of Executive Board. The board of directors of the S. A. F. met in Chicago, in the Auditorium hotel, March 13, 14 and 15. There were present President Vincent, Charles H, Totty, E. Allan Peirce, H. A. Bun- yard, John A. Evans, W. N. Rudd, George Asmus, Robert Craig, August Poehlmann and Secretary Young. The board was in session practically the whole three days and accomplished a vast amount of business. The sum of $50 was placed at the disposal of Prof. H. H. Whetzel, of Cornell University, to cover the expense of an exhibit embracing the diseases of the various staple productions of the florists, to be made at the Chicago convention. A request from I. S. Hendrickson, president of the American Gladiolus Society, that arrangements be made for space in which to exhibit gladiolus blooms at the Chicago convention and that such arrangements allow of a com- petitive class for amateurs, was granted. A request of the Western Dahlia and Gladiolus Society, in the same line, was, upon motion, refused for the rea- son that the board believed it to be for the interest of the society that division or multiplication of such so- cieties should not be encouraged, and, further, that the allotment of space for another display of gladioli was not feasible. The committee having in charge the matter of life membership badges was continued, and the committee was em- powered to make arrangements with manufacturers for a supply of badges, to be offered at a stated price to mem- bers wishing to purchase; thus finally disposing of this matter. Mr. Poehlmann reported that the Coliseum in Chicago had been engaged to house the August convention of the society, under the terms considered at the meeting of the board in Detroit, and the action of the oflBcers in taking a lease was approved. A committee was appointed to for- mulate a plan looking to the affiliation of sister societies of the S. A. F., such 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Apbil 4, 1012. plan to be presented at the first ex- ecutive meeting to be held at the Au- gust convention and finally submitted to the convention for decisive action. The sum of $100 was appropriated to the use of the committee on school gardens, to be used in the preparation of a text-book for school teachers of America, outlining methods of teach- ing gardening to elementary school children. A further appropriation of $50 was made to the committee on school gardens, for use in its work. A request from Mrs. Charles H. May- nard, secretary of the Ladies' Society of American Florists, that her society be given a place on the convention program for its annual business meet- ing and a reception and dance, was granted. The rules governing the trade exhi- bition of this society in previous years came in for much consideration and several amendments were made. An advisory committee was ap- pointed, to which all the matters relat- ing to the trade exhibition and ex- hibits are to be referred. It was arranged that the Auditorium hotel be selected as headquarters for the society during the convention, it being understood that the management of that hotel was willing to furnish a room in which the president's recep- tion could be held. It was decided to recommend certain amendments to the by-laws of the so- ciety, chief among which is one cover- ing the election of the secretary, the recommendation in this case being the amendment of article 11, section 2, by adding, "The secretary shall be elected by the directors at the annual mid- Lent meeting, and shall serve one year; seven (7) affirmative votes shall be necessary to elect and nine (9) to re- The program for the August conven- tion involved a good deal of discussion, which resulted in a skeleton program being formulated. It was decided that the rate for space in the trade exhibition should be 40 cents per square foot, and that the smallest amount of space to be sold should be fifty square feet. A resolution, covering the thanks of the board, was passed to the Chicago Florists ' Club and the Horticultural So- ciety of Chicago for entertainment and other courtesies extended to the board during its stay in Chicago. On Thursday morning the board vis- ited the Coliseum building in a body, to inspect the same and decide upon a plan for the arrangement of the trade exhibition. Treasurer William F. Kasting was unable to be present at the meeting, on account of sickness. A message of sym- pathy was dispatched to him at Hot Springs, Ark., where he was undergoing treatment. John Young, Sec'y. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The market continued in an over- loaded condition last week. Everything was plentiful and of extra fine quality. As in the week previous, the wholesalers had a hard time cleaning up. The store men report that the retail trade fell off considerably and about the only thing that was doing was work for funerals. At the opening of the present week there was a great deal of speculation as to the supply for Easter, and the prices. The wholesalers seem to think there will be plenty of good stock and < ■ ,.*^ :aiiSi^tlfS^-'''^J^%l^' Establithment of John F.

There will be plenty of lilies and an abundance of bulbous stock. As to roses and carnations, as we have had an oversupply for the last few weeks, there should be enough for all demands. Some of the leading retailers have prepared for a great run on blooming plants, with lilies having the first call; so indications point to a big Easter business and all we need is that the weather remain bright and warm. Vaxious Notes. Lincoln Pierson, president of the Pierson U-Bar Co., New York, was here last week perfecting plans for the erec- tion of the conservatories to be built at the Missouri Botanical Garden, his company having the contract. The work will begin at once and will cost ap- proximately $150,000. J. F. Ammann spent March 28 in the city as one of the reception committee to entertain ex-President Roosevelt. The employees of the four local wholesale houses will give an entertain- ment and dance sometime this month. Frank Windier and Al Gums are work- ing on the plans. Mrs. M. M. Ayres had the family order for the funeral of Gen. Noble last week. The casket cover was in the shape of an American flag. iSrom reports, most of our growers will have plenty of Easter lilies in pots. Will Young says his firm will have nearly 15,000. The Bourdet Floral Co. will have 20,000; Sanders, 10,000. A. Jablonsky will also have nearly that many. The Eetail Florists' Association will hold the regular monthly meeting Monday night, April 8, in the Knight» of Columbus hall. President Sanders wants a large attendance. The Windier brothers are now in three branches of the florists' business. George B. is proprietor of a green- house plant. Robert and Joe are in the retail business, and Frank B. is vice- presidtent of the W. C. Smith Whole- sale Floral Co. They work independ- ently of each other and all are hustlers. Grimm & Gorly sent a large bouquet of roses to ex-President Roosevelt, with a card saying that the roses were named Mrs. Roosevelt, at the recent Chicago spring flower show. W. C. Smith has purchased a new Mitchell touring car. The many friends of James Arado, who is head of the cut flower depart- ment of C. Young & Sons Co., ex- tended their sympathy to him in the loss of his father, who died March 31. The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold its regular monthly meeting Thursday afternoon, April 11. E. W. Guy will lead a discussion on summer cut flowers. In this he will be assisted by Chas. Hecht, F. J. Fillmore and W. J. Pilcher. During the last week quite a few of our suburban florists were in town. Among them were Wm. Winter, W. J. Pileher, F. Wade, W. J. Edwards, Hugo Gross, Gus Hartmann, A, G. Ahner, N. Scheidegger, R. Wolfsburger, all of Kirkwood; H. Emmons, Belleville; H. Johann, CoUinsville; A. G. Fehr, Belle- ville, and E. Denker, of St. Charles. J. J. B. EUPP'S RESIDENCE. The accompanying illustration shows the residence, office and greenhouse of John F. Eupp, Shiremanstown, Pa. The residence, which is comparatively new, contains the office from which the seed business is conducted. The building is modern in every respect, with walls of concrete blocks and pressed red brick, and roof of asbestos shingles. The greenhouse is used for growing Chinese primrose seed and other spe- cialties. Middletown, N. Y. — It is reported that M. E. Ryan has Veen seriously ill. Apbil 4, 1012. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 15 Three-ton Truck Uied by a Leading Firm of Los Angeles Florists and Nurserymen. HOWABD & SMITH'S NEW AUTO. The accompanying illustration shows the latest addition to the auto delivery service of Howard & Smith, the well known florists and nurserymen of Los Angeles, Cal. It is built on the most up-to-date lines and has a capacity , of three tons. This firm 's principal nurseries are at Montebello, about eight miles from the center of the city, and consequently the auto trucks are found to be great time-savers. With these prompt deliveries can be made over a wide expanse of territory and the de- livery equipment, like everything else connected with this firm, is as up-to-date and complete as it is possible to make it. BOSTON. The Market. Business was fairly good last week, being the best at its close, and the present week opens with quite good sales and considerably decreased re- ceipts. Growers are evidently, in many cases, holding back their cut for the latter part of the week. Whether this policy will pay is doubtful. Easter is not like Memorial day, and while there is still a strong call for flowers, the market is essentially one for plants and is increasingly so each year. Thero is little likelihood of any big advance in prices of cut flowers, except it may be in the case of violets, sweet peas, gardenias and lilies. Roses have been moving rather sluggishly of late and little over a normal price is expected for them. On the other hand, carnations are at last lifting their heads a little with a material shortening up of sup- plies. A slump near Easter is not im- probable if too many are held back. Violets will not be plentiful. Singles are over with some growers and few of those arriving are of good quality. On the other hand, there is a good crop of doubles, and will be for a month yet. Lilies are making $10 to $12.50 per hundred, cut or in pots. Some extras are going at $15. The general com- plaint is that giganteums are too dwarf, multiflorums have too small flowers, and Formosas are too tall and erratic. Sweet peas are of superb quality and selling at better rates. Dutch bulbous stock is temporarily in shorter supply and cleaning up bettor. A few Spanish iris are obtainable. Victoria is popular among narcissi. Marguerites are unus- ually fine, yellows making as high as $4 per hundred if of best quality. There is a good supply of miscellaneous flowers. Valley is in good demand. Gardenias are in rather short supply. The only cattleyas now seen are Schroederse. Green goods are in brisk demand. Pot plant specialists are having the most strenuous time of their lives. All report being well cleaned out of stock, the leaders being lilies, rambler and hybrid roses, genistas, azaleas, spiraeas and Dutch bulbous stock. Lilacs are also selling well. Prices do not vary greatly from those of preceding years. Various Notes. The Italian garden exhibit of E. & J. Farquhar & Co., at Horticultural hall, closed March 31. The attendance has not been so good as expected. In fact, since the national show there has been a decline in numbers of exhibits and visitors at practically all exhibi- tions. People got so much for their money at that time that they seem to expect too much from our regular shows. Frank J. Dolansky, of Lynn, has 5,000 giganteum lilies in fine shape for Easter. He is cutting a splendid lot of Cattleya Schroederse and gardenias. The Dartmouth Flower Shop, Mac- donald & Askell proprietors, is doing a nice trade. Penn's, on Bromfield street, is equip- ped! for a big Easter business and is ad- vertising heavily. They have leased a store at- 258 Tremont street, near Keith's theater, for their immense plant trade. They have a big decora- tion for April 8, at the opening of Bigelow, Kennard & Co., and will use White Killarneys heavily. William H. Diehl will have charge of the decora- tions. Mann Bros., of Eandolph, among lilies have extra fine Formosas, gigan- teums, candidums and white specios- ums. They now have fine Spanish iris and a tremendous cut of narcissi and tulips in many varieties. They are hold- ing all their gladioli back to flower in May. H. R. Comley, on Park street, is showing some extra good clivias and amaryllis. He has a fine line of Easter plants and is already busy. D. F. Lamy, at the Boston Coopera- tive Market, is handling extra fine can- dytuft for Malcolm Orr, of Saugus, and fine Campbell violets for John F. Gale, of Tewksbury. Mr. Gale will pick 60,- 000 for Easter. E. J. Ahearn, of Wellesley, and M. B. Dallachie, of Newton, are handling splendid lots of English primroses at the Boston Cooperative Market. James Wheeler, of Natick, in addi- tion to his grand carnations and snap- dragons, has now a fine lot of yellow marguerites. F. H. Houghton, on Park street, sup- plied numerous costly and artistic de- signs for the funeral of the late ex- Mayor Richardson, of Lowell. April 3 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 4, 1912. he decorated the Unitarian church, Marlboro, for the wedding find recep- tion of Miss Ellis and John D. Rico, with his usual taste. M. L. Terrell, of Randolph, at the Boston Cooperative Market, is strong on callas, snapdragons and carnations. Henry M. Robinson & Co. are ex- tremely busy with Piaster business. They report green goods as scarce, hardy fern j)articular]y so. A. F. Coolidge, of Cambridge, lias a capital lot of genistas, aspidistras and nephrolepis for Easter. J. iStreiford & Son, of Weymouth, and John MeFarland, of North Easton, have each a fine lot of giganteum lilies for Easter. A. Leuthy, of Roslindale, has several thousands of giganteum lilies, an even, well-grown lot for Easter, also excel- lent gardenias, genistas, azaleas and other plants. Trade with him is excel- lent. J. Newman & Son have a tastefully arranged store for Easter and are show- ing tlieir usual excellent line of plants and flowers. Business with them is quite brisk. I am pleased to report Manager Thomas Pegler, of the Flower Growers' Sales Co., is much improved in health by his rest at Wilton, N. H. A. L. Silloway, of Maynard, and Paul E. Richwagen, of Needham, are each marketing extra good pink snapdragon now. About every grower now has a special shade of pink snapdragon, but the one Mr. Richwagen has is distinct and of a rich color. J. R. Leach & Son, of North Easton, have 10,000 of their gilt-edged valley for Easter and a fine crop of the new Pink Supreme carnation. W. H. Wyman, of the Bay State Nurseries, has purchased a fine new touring car. The spring rush is on in earnest at the nurseries. S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, has a grand Easter crop of high grade carna- tions, also marguerites and snapdrag- ons of splendid quality. Mrs. J. W. Rogers, on Summer street, has an attractively ananged store for Easter. At this season she does a con- siderable business also in flower seeds. The Fottler, Fiske. Rawson Co. is hav- ing a heavy rush of business. Theiv show windows contain a fine assort- ment of hyacinths, tulips and other Easter plants. Albert E. Robinson, formerly man- ager for the New England Nurseries, has left that concern and .joined the A. E. Robinson Co., of Lexington, Mass., dealing in all kinds of nursery stock and making landscape gardening a fea- ture. Mr. Robinson was formerly man- ager at the Bay State Nurseries "and is well and favorably known in the trade. J. T. Butterworth easily leatls all others when it comes to valley in j)ots for Easter. He is cutting good Cat tleya Schropdera> and still has fine den- drobiums. W. N. Craig. AMEBICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. This is a cut of the new medal of the American Gladiolus Society.

One is made in sterling silver, colored sil- ver gray, and the other is finished bronze. Both are sand-blast finished. These medals will be given to represen- tative horticultural societies that will offer them in their schedules to be com- l)eted for by amateur exhibitors of gladiolus blooms at their summer shows. The silver medal is for first prize, and the bronze medal for second prize. The following societies have been given a set of these medals: Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Newport Horti- cultural Society, Southampton Horti- cultural Society, St. Catharine's Horti- cultural Society, Pasadena Horticultural Society, Melrose Horticultural Society. L. Merton Gage, Sec'y. WASHINGTON Tlie Market. Business last week was good, the best this month, although low prices pre- vailed generally. Inasmuch as the stock moved well, there was but little left over on Sunday and this balance was in good shape. Prices are on the ad- vance, as is usual at this season, and white carnations, for which dealers were glad to get $2 per hundred last week, brought $3 per hundred on Sunday. It will probably be impossible to purchase the same grades at the end of the week for less than $7. Prices on other goods advance in about the same proportions. The demand for pink and red carnations will not be so good, as these colors are not so desirable at Easter. Sweet l)eas have been plentiful and have sold well, although they did not bring any- thing in the way of fancy prices. Val- ley has been exceptionally ])lentifHi, with no special demand except by street fakers. Roses of all kinds sold well at moderate figures. The market was crowded with Richmonds and there were more of these left over than any other variety. Cut Easter lilies were offered at $1.50 in dozen lots, but by the thousand they could be had at about $10. There were enough greens to be had to fill the demand. Violets have been quite plen- tiful and the asking price has been 40 cents per hundred or $3 in thousand lots. It is expected that the supply of violets will decrease considerably and by the end of the week it will be hard to get them at less than $1.25 per hun- dred. There are some mighty good tu- lips coming in; especially good are the Murillo doubles, which are bringing in the neighborhood of $3 per hundred, while singles are offered at $2, and in large quantities at $1. The supply of indoor jonquils is nearly exhausted and the southern crop is coming in, Prin- ceps being the most jdentiful. Large quantities of potted Piaster lilies arc being brought into the market, but many of these are not of good quality. Cattleyas are bringing $5 and $6 per dozen, but good ones are not plentiful. These will advance in price, however, before the week is over. The week is bound to be a good one, even though it is believed that there has been an overproduction of potted stock. The streets are filled with street venders, who are selling goods at low prices. This is not going to hurt business as much as would be expected, and will more likel}' stimulate the de- mand and desire for flowers. The lo- cal department stores are also after their share of business and one firm is offering potted lilies at 17 cents per bloom, against 25 cents asked by flor- ists. Various Notes. E. C. Sutton, of Greenville, S. C, who has for some time been in the em- ploy of Z. D. Blackistone, has left the city to accept a position with Mills the Florist, in Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Nich- ols, who was with Blackistone about two years ago, is taking Mr. Sutton 's place. One of the visitors in town during the week was J. W. Grandy, of Norfolk, Va., who came here to make his Easter purchases. J. G. Schattmier was in Philadelphia last week. Mrs. Super, who for some time has been in the employ of George C. Shaffer, has accepted a position with J. H. Small & Sons, and is now located at the new store at Fifteenth and H streets, N. W. Local florists are much interested in the effort being made to have the law providing a wheel tax on automobiles rescinded. At present automobile own- ers are subject to a wheel tax, personal tax and license tax on each machine they own and the whole amounts to a goodly sum. Otto Bauer, manager of the Washing- ton Florists' Co., was laid up last week with an affection of the throat. C. L. L. OBITUARY. Emil O. Borrmann. Emil O. Borrmann, one of the pioneer florists of Buffalo, N. Y., died at hia home, 336 Jefferson street, March 22, after an illness of three months. Death was due to a complication of diseases. He had been in business at 338 High street for forty years. He was born in Germany fifty-eight years ago and came to this country at the age of 8, settling in Buffalo, where he lived nearly all his life. He attended the public schools until 16 years old and began the business of florist at the age of 18, gradually increasing and widen- ing his work until about three months ago, when he was compelled to retire on account of ill health. At the time of his death he was a member of the Men's Club of St. Jacobi Church; Court East Buffalo, 1184, I. O. O. F.; the Harugari I^ohsinn and the Happy Fif- ty Social Club. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Regina Borrmann, and by eight children, Mrs. Jacob Bauer, Chas. A., Emma, Emil R., Theodore, William, Agnes and Clara Borrmann; also by five grandchildren. Michael Smith. Michael Smith, employed by the Douglas Nursery Co., at Waukegan, 111., for forty-eight years, died recently at his home in Waukegan, at the age of 85 years. He removed from New York to Waukegan in 1854 and started to work for Robert Douglas, continuing in his employ until October, 1911. ifimtwjvv. H i^V' Al'Kll. 4, 1!)12.

Though the winter has been the coldest in twenty years, re- quiring the consumption of almost double the usual quantity of coal, yet trade has been good enough to compen- sate fully for this extra expense. The firm will tear down two old greenhouses and replace them with new ones, using concrete for the walls and benches. Norristown, Pa. — Wm. H. Catanese has opened a branch flower store in Pottstown. It is located at 13 North Hanover street and will be known as the Century Floral Shop. Norristown, Pa. — William Yeager, formerly in the florists' business here, but for the last few months an inmate of the State Hospital for the Insane, escaped from that institution at a late hour on Saturday night, March 23, in company with three other patients. At last report, he had not been found. Albion, Mich. — During the last year M. & S. L. Dysinger have made such improvements at their place as have put it in first-class condition for busi- ness. They have built additions to their chrysanthemum and carnation houses, repaired and painted the whole range and installed a new steam boiler. Their trade during the winter was heavy. They have again secured the contract for the cemetery work and also the G. A. R. order for Memo- rial day. East Walden, N. Y.— W. C. Hart, the dahlia specialist at Sycamore Place, has built a cellar, 32 x 56 feet, for the stor- age of the clumps. The cellar is so ar- ranged that a team and loaded wagon can be driven through its entire length. There is ample room for the sorting and packing of shipments. The walls are of cement, studded and wainscoted inside, then papered and wainscoted again with ship-lap lumber. The ceil- ing is studded and lined in the same way. A large cistern pipe supplies an abundance of filtered rain water. Lake Forest, ni.— E. Bollinger, the landscape gardener, has delivered some unusually interesting illustrated lec- tures at Evanston in connection with the Y. M. C. A. gardening course. Mr. Bollinger is a native of Switzerland, and studied at the botanical. gardens at Geneva. He has laid out the grounds of several wealthy persons, and was with Byron L. Smith, president of the Northern Trust Co., for five years. He organized the Lake Shore Horticultural Society, and is a member and lecturer of the Illinois State Horticultural Society. Qreencastle, Ind. — John Eitel & Son have purchased what are known as the Troxell & Shake greenhouses, at the corner of Vine and Franklin streets, and have removed their offices and retail department to the new location, where they will make such alterations and improvements as seem desirable. The firm 's greenhouses on Melrose avenue will be retained, but will be used only for wholesale business in the future. The Troxell & Shake place had been conducted for a year by Geo. D. Reid, who has bought the Howell establish- ment, at Danville, Ind., and gone into business there. Pekin, III. — George A. Kuhl, wlio has been ill for a long time, is getting along nicely at the Presbyterian hos- pital in Chicago, but probably will be there for several weeks longer. Marysville, O. — Snow drifted onto one of the greenhouses of the Marysville bloral Co., March 24, to the depth of eighteen inches, the weight causing the concrete walls to spread and the roof to collapse. Manager C. O. Coder es- timates the loss at $600. The house will be rebuilt at once. Kansas City, Mo. — William L. Rock and associates have this week been hold- ing an opening reception at their new store, 1106 Grand avenue, where they have fitted up one of the handsomest establishments in the west. Engraved invitations were sent to those in the social set and the store has been thronged. A large Easter trade is certain. Muscatine, la. — Fire that destroyed a greenhouse and several small outbuild- ings occurred on the property of Arthur Kleist, a resident of the Island, March 24, causing a damage estimated at about $200. A unique feature of the blaze was that no inkling of the fire had been received until the mass of debris and smoking ruins met the owner's gaze next morning. He had slept throughout. No intimation that liis property was en- dangered had been received by him dur- ing the night. None of his neighbors saw the flames. Council Bluffs, la. — The stock in the greenhouses of Fred L. Lainson, on Canning street, was seriously damaged recently by gas that had been escaping from one of the gas company's mains. The plants had been suffering for sev- eral weeks, and no explanation could be given until experts from the State Agricultural College at Ames looked over the place and found the leak. Later the gas company began work for the purpose of discovering the exact place of the leakage. The vegetable section of the houses was the most affected. The total damage was esti- mated at $10,000. Duiliani, N. C— Fred Roll has built another Lord & Burnham house, 20x75, and has planted it with carnations, of which he has a fine crop. He has tried a few hundreds of Dorothy Gordon, C. W. Ward and Alma Ward, and thinks they have "made good." The •January cold wave was the severest here in fourteen years, with the tem- perature as low as 6 degrees above zero, but he succeeded in keeping all his stock in good condition. He thinks that southern growers have not so much of an advantage over their northern brethren in regard to heat- ing as might be supposed, since fuel is more expensive here; hard coal is $9.50 per ton. 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Al'lili.

It is stated that the Waban Bose Con- servatories, Natick, Mass., have decided to disseminate their new rose, Mrs. Kus- sell, next season. The Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety has issued a pamphlet giving the schedules of all the shows for the year 1912, eleven in number. The florist who writes on plain paper is like the one who declines to talk to the representatives of Dun and Bradstreet — he stands in his own light. 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. It is proposed that the Illinois State Florists ' Association meet at Rock Island next year at the same date that the Iowa State Florists' Association meets across the river in Davenport. In spite of repeated statements that no attention can be paid to anonymous inquiries, they are of almost daily re- ceipt. AH inquiries that bear the full name and address of the writer are given prompt attention, but it is a waste of time to send questions unsigned. One of the signs of the commercial awakening of the south is the increased quantities of galax that are reaching the market. The prevailing low jobbing prices are not due to any decrease in the consumption of galax, but to an increase in the quantity picked by the moun- taineers. One of the special features of the ex- hibition of the National Sweet Pea Society, to be held at Boston July 13 and 14, which is attracting much atten- tion is the proposed display by school chil- dren. A leaflet has been issued showing the schedule of some twenty-four classes open only to school children, and carry- ing simple suggestions for the successful growing of sweet peas. Harry A. Bun- yard, secretary, 342 West Fourteenth street, New York city, has distributed a large number of these through school superintendents in Boston and vicinity and an interesting exhibition is antici- pated. Seed stores note a considerable call for seeds because of these school children's prizes. NO FABLE. * * Very soon after I became associated with the old Morning News, I made the discovery," says George Ade of fable fame, "that if you want to make a real impression on a big and indif- ferent public, you must hit forty-two times in the same place." This is no fable, but it points a moral: Use The Review and hit your public fifty-two times in the same place— once a week for a year. ■ Correspondents are urged to mall Ea£ter trade reports not later than Mon- day, April 8, so that they may be pub- lished as news rather than as ancient history. IT FINDS THE BXTYEBS. The season of the year now is ap- proaching when the Classified Depart- ment of The Review runs heaviest, in spite of the promptness with which those who have only moderate quan- tities of stock sell out. Like this: Please discontinue our advertisement of Dra- caena terminalis and poinsettlas, as we are sold out. We have had orders from as far as Washing- ton, Oregon and California. The Review certainly "finds the buyers, no matter where they are." — Avenue Floral Co., New Orleans, La., March 28. 1912. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. March ended much better than it began, but the improvement in busi- ness was not enough to put the market on anything better than the normal level for the week preceding what al- ways has been called the greatest flower festival of the year. April started well, but the Easter business had not begun when this issue of Tho Review went to press. Prices were firming up. There was no shortage of anything except, possibly, single vio- lets, and the strength of the market was rather anticipatory than because of any exceptional demand in the first three days of the week. While a few Easter orders went out April 3, the real Easter business does not begin until April 4, with April 5 as the big day for shipping and April 6 the big day locally. Monday morn- ing's mail brought a big run of orders, but it is noticed' that year by year Easter orders are later and later in reaching the wholesalers. One explan- ation of this is that the out-of-town buyers have confidence that there will hereafter be plenty of stock in this market to meet any ordinary Easter demand, so that the protection of early ordering is no longer necessary. An- other explanation is that the retailers prefer first to push their plants, tak- ing 4iold of the cut flowers in earnest only after the pot stock has been cleaned up. It was the general report that orders on file April 1 were not so numerous as they usually have been on the Monday preceding Easter, but quite a number of the wholesalers stated that such customers as had been heard from had ordered larger quantities of stock than ever before. The general impres- sion is that the business will come with a tremendous rush the last three days of the week. Single violets have pretty nearly reached the end of their season and there ma^ not be enough to fill the orders this week. Doubles are abund- ant. Cattleyas also are on the short side. If anything else is scarce its ab- sence has not been noted. Beauties have been coming in much more plentifully and of improved quality in the last few days. Other roses have been, and are, in good supply and of fine quality. Pos- sibly there is no special Easter crop right at its height, a» has been seen at some other Easters, but there prom- ises to be enough roses for all who are willing to pay a fair price. Stock has been so cheap the last few weeks Afbii. 4, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 19 Hurry-up Orders No matter what you find yourself running short of« wire us your order and we will rush the stocic to you on the first train. Our facilities for handling rush orders are the best that experience can devise. Easter Lilies Really good Lilies are not plentiful this Easter — too many that have been forced too hard to get them in, and too many that are short of stem. But OUr Lilies are fine — all true Giganteums, clean, healthy and even. They run 3 to 5 flowers to the stem and are packed at the greenhouses in boxes of 100, for shipment without rehandling. We can furnish any length of stem your trade calls for. Long, fancy $15 00 per 100; $125.00 per 1000 Medium length 12.00 " " 100 00 " " Short 10.10 " " 80.00 " " KILLARNEYS Theae are very fine and plentiful. We ask retailers to order freely of our Killarney and White Killamey, for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by making friends for those who buy of us. It has long been recognized that length for length of stem our Killameys carry the finest flowers of any in this market. CARNATIONS Once a user of our Camatione, always a user is almost always the rule —because ours is the best average large lot of Carnations in this market. SWEET PEAS Extra long stems, carrying large, perfect flowers. All the fancy colors as well as white and pink. We are snipping these Peas, fresh picked, in great quantities and they never fail to give buyers the best of satisfaction. VIOLETS The Easter Violets are better than usual this year, because of the late spring. Especially strong on doubles. ASPARAGUS STRINGS, $50.00 PER 100 Easter Price List ORCHIDS Cattleyas .

Have the growers ceased to hold back carnations? In ye^rs gone by there would be a pronounced scarcity a few days before Easter. This year there has been plenty of stock for all demands. Some of the wholesalers have been wondering about the lily crop. Usually there is a lot of early stock that comes onto the market just before Easter, but in the last few days the re- ceipts have been light. Some argue that this means that quite a few grow- ers must be late with their lilies, but another explanation is that they have moved them into cold quarters to await the end of the week. Much nice, clean stock is seen with short stems. The miscellaneous items never are in great request at a holiday until after the big staples have been well cleaned up. Of the bulbous and miscellaneous flowers ther«' has been enough for all, with the prospect that the supply will be adequate through the week. Sniilax is scarce, but asparagus strings are more jdentiful than they have been. Tlie price of ferns is going up, for eastern holders advanced their prices again April 1 and report that their waste tliis season is heavier than usual. Amling Is Bank President.

There has been some diffi- culty in forcing Amefican Pillar for Easter, so Mr. Wintzer tried his hand, just to see.

The propagating season is waning, Imt there are still beds sand-filled and (tutting-topped here and there — notable among them long benches of hardwood cuttings that looked well. Most of the stock was in small pots, successive l)atches timed for shipping early, mid- season and late, to keep up a succes- sion from the beginning of April until the end of May, the period that covers planting-out time from the south through the middle states and far north. Rowland C. Satterthwaite, secretary of the C. & J. Co., was hard at work selecting material for the early orders.

HABDT HEBBACEOUS BOBDEBS. Any mulch on the hardy perennial borders should be removed at once, if it has not already been cleared away. Quite a number of plants are now start- ing to grow quite vigorously and be- fore growth becomes too strong it is an excellent plan to stir up the soil well about the plants. When they are in nursery rows, a hoe or cultivator can be used, but in mixed borders it is better to use a common digging fork to loosen the surface; there is less dan- ger of injuring any bulbs or other plants just below the surface of the ground. If you gave the plants a good dressing of rotted manure late last fall, they will not need any additional feed- ing, but where this was not done a dressing of dried cow or sheep manure or a good complete chemical fertilizer before stirring up the soil will be bene- ficial. In the case of peonies, a some- what heavier dose can be applied than for other perennials, but do not use forcing stimulants, such as nitrate of soda, except when the plants are starved and need a powerful tonic. While autumn is the best time for planting the large majority of hardy perennials, there are probably twice as many set out in spring as in the au- tumn and the sooner planting can h<^ done after the frost leaves the ground, the better .will the perennials thrive. There are a number of plants which, while hardy in the warmejr stated, ^ro not quite ironclad farther aorth, and now is a good time to plant these out. This list would include Japanese anera- osea^ pofapon chrysanthemums, incarvil- le«8, foxgloves, Canterbury bells, etc. Do-not allow the roots of perennials to become dry; they might not take any serious injury from such a condition, as would 6 W|a^3 ^trees and shrubs, but the drying out pr(j|^s ,j|j^ne every florist should guard 4'gainfft.

Roses and carnations have been arriv- ing in fairly large shipments, but have been rapidly disposed of. Sweet peas are exceedingly scarce. Some of the finest forget-me-not ever seen is being shipped in by Fred Breitmeyer and is selling well. Various Notes. Thos. Browne sent a vase of his beautiful seedling carnation, Magnifi- cent, to Mr. Pochelon's opening March 26, where it created quite a sensation. The firm of Klang & Eockelman has dissolved, John Klang having bought Mr. Rockelman's interest. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange has been having a heavy demand for its antique baskets. This company now (Iocs a big business in supplies, of which a large stock is carried. Conspicuous at the opening of the new store of the Bemb Floral Co. were beautiful baskets sent by W. B. Brown and the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, also a horseshoe of lily of the valley planted right into the frame in moss. A. Miller, of Chicago, also remembered Mr. Pochelon. B. Schroeter has been supplying many lilies to the Michigan Cut Ilower Ex- change. Chas. Plumb finds his new shipping room a great convenience in handling his large Easter business. No meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club was held on the regular meeting night^ April 1, it being so close to Easter that all were busy. H. S. Qr&nd Batrtds, Wis.— Pajjl C. Beasa, of Merrill, Wis., has closed a deal here for a considerable tract of ground and will start work as soon as the weather moderates, erecting a modern green- house plant. The present plans include 8,000 square feet of glass, which he ex- pects to ultimately extend to about 10,000 square feet. Mr. Beasa has been connected with the N. Greivelding greenhouses, of Merrill, for several years.

Last week was a dull one in the cut flower market. There was an abundance of everything and many a sacrifice was made until Saturday, when the first signs of improvement appeared. Ameri- can Beauties did not go above 25 cents, and 50 cents is predicted as top for Easter. All other varieties of roses have risen slightly, but there will bo no unreasonable demand or advance, and retailers will have opportunity once m(MH^^ of reviving the goose that used .ft «y the' golden eggs. This big city, if prices are reasonable, will absorb ev- erything of merit that is offered in plant or flower. Carnations are plentiful and last week showed no improvement in valucll until near its close. The quality of the carnations leaves nothing to be de- siredi Violets last weak sold from 10 cents to SO cents per hundred. They were scarce on Saturday for the flrst time in many moons, and the specials Tonsetii Floral Co. 885 MorriMm Street GMWEB8 AND RETMLEIS PwHaml, Or>.

There are plenty of orchids; never so many sources of supply or so manj- wholesalers handling them. Their popularity increases with their abund- ance, and the reasonable prices. They have completely crowded out the violet, with the 400. These and gardenias and valley seem to be all society recognizes and wears. Cut lilies fill the center of every wholesaler's window. The best of these have been booked at 12 cents, though 10 cents is expected to be the average and most of the orders have been taken at that figure. Oallas are fine and the selected sell at $1.50 per dozen. Southern daffodils have arrived. Only the best tulips command mentiona^lo quotations. Sweet peas are in ,j^reat demand, when long-stemmed.

Pres., Leonard H. Vau(rhan, Chicago; First Vlce- Pres., M. H. Duryea, New York City; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel. Cleveland. O. Thirtieth annual convention, Chlcagro, June 2S to 27, 1912. The Gregory Farm Seed Co., Bay City, Mich., has increased its capital stock from $6,000 to $12,000. J. W. Eatekin, of Ratekin's Seed House, Shenandoah, la., has purchased a farm of eighty acres just outside that town, to be used as trial grounds. The government seed distribution for 1912 is being closed up rapidly. Every- thing will be out before the end of April. Of radish seed 142,000 pounds has been packeted. The U. S. Department of Agriculture intends to distribute free next season at least 75,000 tulip and hyacinth bulbs grown at the government station at Bel- lingham. Wash. Gladioli of the larger sizes on some of the varieties most in demand are sold out of first hands and a good many of the growers are all contracted up for the 1912 crop of the big sellers. The first three months of the year have been record ones for the wholesale seedsmen, so far as orders go, and only limited as to sales by the size of the supply. Of course the heaviest demand has been for the scarcest items. Counter trade is active in the cities along the Atlantic coast, for even as far north as Boston the present week sees the ground sufficiently open and dry for the beginning of gardening operations. Far- ther west conditions are not so forward, or, rather, are more backward. Eetar, mail orders for March have not, with most of the catalogue houses, been up to previous years. With the aver- age run of small buyer the scarcity of seeds did not seem to lead to early or- dering in sufficient volume to counter- balance the handicap imposed by the severe cold, deep snows and late spring. April starts with the mail order seed trade on the jump. The trade press on the other side of the Atlantic comments favorably on a recent circular issued by John Lewis Childs in which it is explained that as the cost of labor has gone up thirty per cent it is necessary to make a corre- sponding advance in the prices of gladi- olus bulbs. The editors welcome this as a pleasing change from the usual custom in the horticultural trades, which is stated to be to lower prices as expenses increase. ADULTERATED SEED BILL.

Mann, of Illinois, strongly urged the committee to take favorable action with regard to a bill which he has framed for the purpose of regulating foreign commerce in adulterated seeds. The committee expressed strong inter- est in the bill and various members made suggestions and criticisms, which Mr. Mann undertook to meet. He proposes to reintroduce the bill with these modifications embodied in it. The principal changes will relate to the time when the bill is to take effect, which will be regulated in such a way as to exempt this year 's crop from the operation of the measure.

In 1803 Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana from Napoleon for $15,000,000. A lot of money at that time. It figured up 2\^ cents an acre, made about 14 states, and was probably the greatest real estate transaction ever known. Jef- ferson saw ahead. Next, in 1822, James Monroe bought Florida from Spain for $5,000,000, a very small part of the as- sessed value of Jacksonville today. Then, just after the civil war. Uncle Sam bought Alaska for $7,200,000, and was severely criticised for thirty years. To- day it pays for itself in gold about three times per annum.' Then, after the Spanish war, we paid $20,000,000 for the Philip- pines because we had whipped Spain and could have had it for nothing, but thought better to smooth it over with money. The profit of this purchase is yet to come. And the last purchase was the Panama Canal site, costing nearly as much as all the others combined— $40,000,000. Profits yet to come. All this work is foresight into the future. Foresight in man is a very valuable asset — a good deal more so than hindsight. Some men have fore- sight to a moderate degree, but lack the initiative to use it. About one in ten have both, and that one is always the leader — the rest common herdmen — fol- lowers of the star. Of course leaders are criticised, as are all men who do things. Criticism is praise in disguise — real glory masquerading before men of the wooden variety; and when these wooden men wake up to the reality of the thing it is too late, the time has passed and they are still herdmen; and so they continue, most of them, plowing in the same old rut and grunting because the other fel- low is whistling at the top. So also with florists — plenty of herdmen — -some lead- ers— a sort of Jack and Jill down-the-hill proposition. Look ahead, reason out what you do, plan your growing and selling campaign as a general plans a battle. Do something and be somebody. Don 't hesitate after you have determined upon a thing — go at it. In handling lily bulbs foresight is a large part of the lattle. Plan ahead— buy ahead — and when the season rolls around be on time. Plant some Horseshoe Brand Formosas for Easter next year, because they are profit-makers. Order them now. Look ahead. Write for the Book of Bulbology, which contains prices. , A Map of the World free, too, if you want it. RALPH N.

Wabash Ave., -:- CHICAGO The latest pamphlet from Mr. Puld's pen, just issued, is entitled "Cannas, Dahlias and Gladioli." It is written for the amateur gardener. Detailed in- structions as to culture are given, with many valuable hints as to how the non- professional grower may obtain the best results. The pamphlet of sixty-four pages is handsomely printed, though not illustrated. The character of the text seems to make it certain that the book- let will do much to stimulate the pub- lic interest in the flowers described. 0ATAI.OOUES BECEIVED. John Lawrance, Ogdensburg, N.

[Ooncluded from pace 25.] Henrjr Wittbold, 56 East Randolph street, is being pushed with rush orders for decorations this week, while ad- vance wedding orders for the week fol- lowing Easter Sunday already number over a half dozen. Four of them are scheduled for the same day and call for unusually elaborate work. M. A. Dziadul, 1514 West Chicago avenue, says that his retail trade has held up to normal through Lent. His hopes for the future have been strengthened by the erection of a large new Polish church one block away, which is to throw open its doors next month. Carl Thonxas, who has spent the win- ter with the A. L. Randall Co., will re- turn to his summer home at West Springfield, Pa., March 7. J. Beaver has been added to the re- tail store force of Lubliner & Trinz at 23 East Randolph street. Harry Manheim spent Sunday, March 31, at Des Plaines, sizing up the Easter cut of Hoerber Bros. The A. L. Randall Co. reports having moved two carloads of sphagnum moss in the last few days. E. Kitzinger, who runs a retail estab- lishment at 2852 Fullerton avenue, has been going through a prolonged siege of sickness during the winter and is still confined to his bed. Mrs. Kitz- inger is in charge of the business, which has been steadily growing. A visitor at The Review office March 27 was G. L. Miller, Newark, O. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., looks upon the passing of Easter as the opening of the peony season. Winterson's Seed Store is busy re- tailing Easter plants. Kyle & Foerster say they expect April, May and June to be exception- ally good months. John Kruchten/ has sold a large num- ber of pot lilies from samples this Easter. "North avenue has made rapid strides during the last two years and Mrs. Hannah Thielman reports that retail trade at her store at 2508 West North avenue has increased by - leaps and bounds. She expects the Easter trade this year to be the biggest she has yet done. Actions and reactions of the market sometimes give the wholesalers food for thought. C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, is trying to figure out why the FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT Galadinm Esculentom 5 to 7 inch per 100, $2.00 7 to 9 inch per 100, 3.50 9 to 11 inch. per 100, 6.00 Tuberoses Genuine Dwarf Pearl Per lOOO First size, 4-6 inch $9.00 Meditim, 3-4 inch 5.00 Boxwood N«w importation Just Arrlvod.

Teaming is diffi cult on account of the rains and melt- ing snow, some of the roads being al most impassable. On his roses Adam Zender tried the fertilizer they are said to use in grow- ing lily bulbs in Japan. It proved to be hot stuff, and burned his plants. Limousine baskets are said to be the latest with the Eaedlein Basket Co. They appear to be perfectly adapted for the purpose. Fred Lautenschlager is asking for S. A. F. and Florists' Club news from nearly everyone he meets. During his recent long trip for Kroeschell Bros. Co. he lost track of developments. Leopold Koropp is just recovering from a two weeks ' illness as a result of blood poisoning and says he is lucky to pull through. Mr. Koropp had in- tended to entirely redecorate the store before Easter, but his sickness forced him to postpone the work till after the holiday. CHRISTMAS TREE INDUSTRY. Answering a question, H. J. Smith, the Hinsdale green goods dealer, says in the Rural New Yorker: "Regarding the Christmas tree industry, will say that it seems to be on the incroasc every year. There are no fanners now who cut the wood clean off their lots. They usually cut the unsightly trees and leave the more symmetrical ones to grow larger, both for timber and wood. As regards the Christmas trees, they arc thinned out in like manner; only those unsuitable for Christmas trees have the boughs cut off. We bale them up and send to different dealers to be used as background in halls and churches for decorating, and in gardens and park.s for covering plants and shrubbery in winter. Then when we require Christ- mas trees they cut those of a suitable size and bring them to us in large loads, which nets them a good sum per load. Around a large spruce of twenty-five to thirty feet the seed falls and is carried several rods from it, and a great quan tity of small spruce spring up. These are thinned out and used for table deco- ration. Lots that were cut over six or eight years ago have better Christmas trees growing on them now than were cut then. For instance, a tree that is two feet now will reach a height of ten to fifteen feet in six to eight years. This gives the farmer a good return for his labor and gives him a revenue on land which otherwise he does not use THE CREGO ASTER Buy your seed dirpct from the originator, who grows no seed of any kind except the Crego Aster.

I am going into business in southeastern Kansas and I expect you will be troubled quite frequently with letters of inquiry, as I have not been in touch with any of the work for eight years. C. B. G. To make a hotbed for sweet pota- toes, take good, fresh, hot stable man- ure and make a flat pile about eighteen inches deep and about eighteen inches wider on each side than the frame you are to place on the pile, on which to lay the s;ish. See that the manure is well shaken out if lumpy, and then smootheil over and packed down firmly and evenly. Then take the frame and place it tui top of the manure and put two or three inches of loose, sandy soil on top of the manure, inside the frame. It, will heat violently for a few days and then gradually cool down. After two or three days you can place the sweet potatoes on this, as close to- gether as they can be without touch- ing, so as to permit the sandy soil to go down between them. They may then be covered over about an inch deep with soil that is about half sand and not lumpy. Water them; then level off after the soil settles and put the sash back on top of the frame. They will need watering frequently and a little ventilation every day if the sun shines. They will quickly sprout and be ready to pull and sell. When pulling, hold the potatoes down with one hand and pull gently with the other, catching hold down at the surface of the soil. Wrap them in bunches with moss, like rooted cut- tings, and tie them up in papers with the tops exposed. The potatoes will keep on making plants for many weeks, if carefully handled. The frame should be tall enough to allow the plants to grow six or eight inches before touching the glass.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. Preparations for Easter are going on briskly and the increased supplies of fine pot lilies show its near approach. Business generally has not been quite up to the mark during the last week, but Lent, on the whole, has been away beyond expectations. Advance orders presage an excellent Easter and, as there is plenty of stock of nearly all kinds, retailers should reap a good har- vest. Outdoor stock, in all varieties except sweet peas, is good, but the late sown rows will not be in for Easter. Tulips and hyacinths are plentiful and daffo- dils are good, though not by any means in too great supply. A few violets of fine quality come along occasionally, but most of those coming in are poor in quality and small. Carnations are a mixed lot, those from outside being small and poor, while the indoor ones are much better. There are plenty of good cut Easter lilies and valley. The poeticus varieties of narcissus are extra fine now. In roses, local grown Killar- ney and White Killarney are better, but still not so good as My Maryland. Local Beauties are also good, but Mrs. Jardine and Bridesmaid are the best of the northern stock. Eichmond is ex- cellent, with long stems and rich color. Harry Kirk is practically the only yel- low shown, Mrs. Aaron Ward being con- spicuously absent. Orchids are scarce and of poor quality. In plants, rhododendrons are seen in the best stores. Japanese azaleas and kalmias are also extremely well flow- ered and pretty. Easter lilies, tree peonies and wistarias are also more or less shown, the last named being im- ported from Japan and flowered here. Greens are shortening up, growers of asparagus being busy taking their seed crop. There is plenty of brake fern and Mexican ivy, but hardly any smilax. Artificially colored foliage is offered, but is not in particularly good demand. Various Notes. The grounds of the Diamond Hill Nursery, at Stephenson and Boyle ave- Aues, will soon, pass out of tW hnnda { 4|||iUi and 4Niv« Streets of Max Keppel, but it is pleasant to know that they are not to be cut up into building lots. Instead, they are to be used as school grounds and this means the retention of the many fine trees. Among these is^ a magnificent specimen of Ficus macrocarpa, forty feet high, with a spread of about sev- enty-five feet, and there are others that nearly approach this size. Mr. Keppel has not yet decided on his new location. Miss Knapper, at the Floral Ex- change on Pico street, is handling a good deal of stock and reports business fine. Tom Wright is all smiles over his fine batch of Easter lilies and he has reason, for they are a magnificent lot and timed to the minute. A . splendid grade of Bichmond roses is also being sent in from the^Gardena greenhouses, where everytlung' is in fine trim. Hubert Morion, brother of Charles, of the Los Angeles Flower Market, has six men gathering seed of Asparagus plumosus nanus at the Signal Hill ranch. The seed is a little later than usual, but the quality is first-rate and the whole of f he immense crop is han- dled at the Los Angeles Flower Market. The Hayward Floral Co. is making a specialty of splendid pot and cut flower stock in the windows. I never like to POINSETTIAS Opportunity knocks but once, but here is your op- portunity and it is going to knock twice. If you don't take advantage of it you are certainly "knocked." We have a few thousand fine two- year-old plants and the engraving will convey a good idea of their charac- ter. Each plant will produce not less than 100 cuttings and the original plant can be cut back to between the three and four-foot mark as shown, potted into a 10-inch pot and by pinching the growths during summer and early au- tumn will v^iake a full, rounded speci- men similar to an azalea in form, with dozens of splendid big bracts. We worked this stunt ourselves successfully last season, getting as high as $10 each for single plants. WHAT WE CAN DO, YOU CAN DO.

Taste and originality, coupled with the use of high-class stock, have led to this ex- cellent result. The Los Angeles Flower Market is handling grand pot lilies in large quan- tities, as well as big stocks of all classes of bulbous flowers. The demand is first-class. Pine outdoor roses are a special offer- ing at Tassano Bros. ' place. Big lots of Easter lilies, both pot and cut, are mov- ing out daily. A rather unusual order was that given to Morris Goldenson by the Mason Opera House. During the run of "The Pink Lady" the big fountain was decorated with pink carnations andi huckleberry, and pink carna- tions were also given away as souve- nirs each night to the audience. Speakman Bros.' new greenhouse, 27x335 feet, is about ready for plant- ing and the stock in the other houses is in excellent shape. Among the fine stock now being han- dled by the H. N. Gage Co., I noted grand Gesneriana tulips. These- fine reds contrast well with the lutescens (yellow), and both are of the brightest and best in their color. These will be on hand for Easter, as well as large lots of pot Easter lilies and cut valley. The Cherokee rose is beautiful here- abouts just now, the large, pure white single flowers making a fine show. There seems to be no limit to the amount of space this fine old species will cover and it never .failfk,^ flower with the greatest freedom. CHAS. K. MORTON, Msr.

Land values in the Goldendale section reached a top-notch price in the pur- chase of a seven-acre tract just outside the city limits, known as the Woods tract, by Peter Nicholson, of Portland, Ore,, an expert gardener and florist. Mr. Nicholson paid $500 an acre for the land. He will convert it into a garden tract and will also build a greenhouse, making a specialty of growing violets, as he believes that the sunshiny weather of the Klickitat valley will be just the thing for violets. In addition to gar- dening and flower culture, Mr. Nichol- son will raise fancy chickens. The es- tablishment of a greenhouse at Golden- dale will supply a long-felt want in the community, as heretofore all greenhouse flowers have been obtained from Port- land and The Dalles.

The Mission Nursery, on Seventh street, between Lime and Lemon streets, is one of the leading establishments of the kind in Biverside county. The busi- ness has greatly expanded lyider the skillful management of George Sawa- hata,' who has owned the nursery for the last four years. J. N. Zillman, proprietor of the Biver side Nurseries, at Seventh and Market streets, says the time is fast approach- ing when it will be necessary for him to enlarge his salesyards and he is al- ready making plans with that end in view. The present yards are cramped for space and all available room is in use. Mr. Zillman has a lot and a half at Seventh and Market streets, with a nursery on North Orange street, where he grows deciduous fruits, and another nursery near Gage canal, where he has orange trees planted. He also carries a general nursery stock. J. W. B. Merriman, of Tetley, Merri- man & Childs, at the Citrus Nurseries, says it will soon be necessary to enlarge the grounds, iti order to supply the de- mand for stock. The firm of Tetley, Merriman & Childs is located in attract- ive oflSces at 415 West Eighth street and the members of the company in- clude Frank A. Tetley, A. E. Childs, Theo. Childs, J. W. B. Mqijriiaan and H. I. Merriman. The business has been Direct Importations— Tree Fern Stems Doe to arriye In the earlr apring of 1912. The grandest and moit rraceful of all decorative planti.

Everything is in readiness for Easter and all florists are looking forward to the best Easter trade they have ever had. There is an abundance .of flower- ing plants and prices are about the same as last year on nearly everything. There is also a big supply of all kinds of cut flowers. Eoses of all kinds are in excellent condition; so are carnations, violets and bulbous stock. Sweet peas and pansies are arriving in greater quantities. Gar- denias are quite scarce and bring a big price, but cattleyas are not as plentiful as they have been. Florists' Banquet. More than 100 florists and their wives were present at the anual banquet of the Rochester Florists' Association, held March 26 at Powers' hotel. The room was beautifully decorated with palms, and the tables were decked with daffodils. One of the speakers at the dinner was George S. McClure, presi- dent of the Buffalo Florists' Club. Mr. McClure delivered the keynote speech of the evening, pleading for a higher sense of civic duty among florists. Music was furnished by the Fifty- fourth Eegiment, which played behind a screen of palms. The committee that had charge of the banquet included F. W. Vick, George B. Hart, J. M. Kel-j ler, F. J. Schlegel and Colin B. Ogston. The next meeting of the Florists' As- sociation will be held April 8.

Buxus, or box, roots easily from cuttings. The variety sempervirens, used so much for edgings, can be pulled apart and planted in nursery rows quite deeply. If well watered and pounded hard after planting, the ma- jority will root, unless extremely dry weather should prevail. The evergreen forms of ilex, or holly, are propagated by seeds, which should be stratified in sand over winter and sown in spring. Germination will not take place until the second season. Kalmias, or moun- tain laurels, are most easily raised from seeds sown in flats of sandy, peaty soil in a coldframe or greenhouse. Ehodo- dendrons, while they can be raised from seeds, are commercially only in- creased by grafting. Euonymus radi- cans and*^ E. Japonica, excellent as climbers or bush plants, are propagated most easily in summer in a shaded frame, from cuttings made the same season. Leucothoe Catesbtei can be prop- agated by cutting the wood in short lengths and placing these in flats of sandy soil in a cold greenhouse over winter. The various pines, spruces and firs are, except in a few special cases, such as Picea pungens glauca and the variety Kosteriana, started from seeds sown outdoors and protected by lath coverings on the tops and sides. Wire netting is also used in many cases to exclude birds and animals, which would scratch up and eat many of the seeds. A light mulch of leaves over the seed beds helps to preserve the moisture, but it must be carefully removed as soon as the seeds germinate. C. W.

Always Mention The FLORISTS' REVIEW When Writing Advertisers ■-r'7-' 72 The Weekly Florists' Review* Apbil 4, 1012. BALTIMORE. A petty swindler is working Balti- more and vicinity. Among the things he does is to collect an occasional sub- scription to The Review — of course he never sends them in. His victims are few, for practically all florists in Balti- more and vicinity are old subscribers and have read the frequent warnings not to pay money to strangers for The Review. They are not caught. The subscription swindler usually hooks his victims by an offer of a pre- mium with the paper. The Review gives no premiums and never did. When peo- ple will not buy a paper for itself they are not likely to read it when it comes with a "gift" and are pretty nearly valueless from the advertisers' point of view. When some easy-talking stranger offers a book of any kind, a knife, or any other premium to those who will subscribe to The Review, know thereby that he is a swindler and call the po- lice. Tell your neighbors in the trade. TARRYTOWN, N. Y. The Tarrytown Horticultural Society held its regular meeting and smoker March 26. The prize offered by Presi- dent Wittlinger was awarded to John Heeremans, for a vase of gardenias, and honorable mention to W. Jamieson, for cinerarias. C. Barson, Ossining, N. Y., placed on exhibition a vase of handsome pink seedling carnations, which was awarded a certificate of mer- it. W. Scott, R. Grieve and J. Mooney acted as judges. W. Gomersall read an instructive essay on "Soil and Fertil- ity" and was accorded a hearty vote of thanks.

The crisis is passed, and the great glut which existed three weeks ago is no more. There is still a good supply of all kinds of stock, but most of it is be- ing disposed of in some way, and the loss is only a fraction of what it was. Special sales of carnations on Saturdays have made an outlet for an abundance of stock, and, although the price was comparatively low, it saved paying for hauling the flowers to the dump. American Beauties are scarce in all grades, but noticeably in the medium lengths. There are a few more tea roses than are absolutely necessary. "Whether this year's Easter business will be as good as in previous years is the prevailing question. For about two months everything has been exceed- ingly dull with most of the retailers, and they are depending almost entirely on their Easter trade to straighten up the bills that have accumulated since Christmas. Various Notes. The Elitch-Long Greenhouses are sup- plying the cut flowers and plants used in the store at Fifteenth and Arapahoe streets, which opened three weeks ago. The funeral of Mrs. Mary B. Gillis, mother of B. E. Gillis, of the Park Flo- ral Co., took place March 21. Mrs. Gillis was in her eighty-first year, and was loved by all who knew her. The sym- pathy of the trade is tendered Mr. Gillis. Theodore Loken has become a partner of Thos. McDonald, and they will to- gether operate the flower store at Fif- teenth and Cheyenne streets, where they expect to do a large plant business this spring. The Elitch-Long Greenhouses held their annual exhibition of Easter plants in the theater at Elitch's Gardens on Palm Sunday.

DAVENPOBT, lA. That florists should wear a bouton- niere of any flow^er from a carnation to an orchid as a boost for trade and a badge of the profession was the rec- ommendation made by President P. J. Foley, of the Chicago Florists' Club, at the annual banquet of the Tri-City Florists' Association, held in the Outing Club March 28. Following a sumptuous repast the speaking program commenced, Presi- dent Theodore Ewoldt officiating as toastmaster. President Foley, who told of several ways in which the profes- sion might be advertised; J. C. Vaughan, who complimented the local association on the harmony prevailing among the members; Michael Barker, who told of the activities of the florists' publications in promoting greater harmony among flower growers, and "Wesley Green, of Des Moines, formerly of Davenport, and one of the oldest florists in the state, were the speakers from outside of the Tri-Cities. J. S. Wilson, of Des Moines, one of the speakers expected, was un- able to be present. J. W. Davis, John T. Temple and President Ewoldt were among the local speakers. The floral decorations were among the most elaborate and beautiful seen here in many years, all of the mem- bers of the association sending dona- tions of their best flowers and many floral firms outside of the Tri-Cities hav- ing exhibits. The tables, at which cov- ers were laid for over fifty, were ar- ranged in the form of a horseshoe and so crowded with flowers that there was scarcely room for the service. Note- worthy among the exhibits of outside florists was that of Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, who displayed St. Nicholas 'Carnation. Following the banquet and the speak- ing, dancing was enjoyed.

I have a lot of plants with eight or ten leaves on them. They were planted late last autumn and have been kept so cold they have not grown any. Would they bloom if planted in the greenhouse after the violets are taken out? J. A. L. If Campanula Medium, or Canter- bury bells, as they are popularly called, were not sown until last fall they will be too small and weak to flower this year. In order to secure sufficiently' strong plants for flowering the succeed- ing year, seed should be sown not later than May, and April would be better. Start the seeds now in a flat and prick off in other flats, later planting the seedlings out a foot apart in nursery rows, lifting thorn in October. C. W. SPLIT LILIES. Will you please tell us the cause of our Easter lilies splitting? M. & ('. Sudden drops in temperature, such as moving the plants from a temperature of 65 degrees to one of 45 degrees, are liable to cause si)litting. Excessive feeding will also cause more flowers to come split. If you keep your plants from the start at as even a tempera- ture as possible, water carefully, feed moderately and gradually lower the temperature for the plants as they start to open, there should be few or no split flowers.

Greenhouse Heating. Coal mining is largely suspended for the present. An agreement has been made between the western operators of soft coal mines and their men which, if approved by the vote of the unions, will cause an early resumption of work. In the eastern anthracite fields there is no prospect of a settlement. GBEENHOUSE AND RESIDENCE. Kindly advise me how to heat a green- house, 17x40 feet, six feet to the eaves, with three feet of glass, and eleven feet to the ridge. The house runs east and west. The temperature required will be 50 degrees at night and 65 degrees in the daytime, in zero weather. There will be three benches. How many pipes should there be, and of what sizet Should they be under the benches or above? I expect to grow carnations and bedding plants. I also expect to heat my dwelling, which is connected with the northeast corner of the green- house and stands at the north side of it. The dwelling has about 225 feet of radiation. "What size of boiler will be needed to heat botht I expect to use the Ideal boiler. My location is north- western Ohio. E. L. For heating a carnation house, 17x40 feet, having three feet of glass in the side walls, with hot water, it will be well to use three 2-inch flow pipes and nine 2-inch returns. One flow could be upon each of the plates and the other under the ridge. The returns should be in three coils of three pipes each, one of which should be under each of the benches. The boiler for heating the greenhouse and dwelling should have a rating of 650 to 700 square feet. THE WATEB BOILS OVEB. Will you kindly inform me where the trouble lies in my heating system? I have not been able to maintain much more than 40 degrees at night during the cold spell we have had, when the outside temperature sometimes went down to 20 degrees below zero.

A Steady Pressure will always be main- tained in your steam pipes, no matter how the pressure at the boiler fluctuates, if you equip your main lines with these valves. Carry 40 or 60 pounds pressure on the boiler, set the Hughson Regulating Valve to carry 6 or 10 pounds on the line and you will always have a reserve in case of a sudden drop in temperature.

I usually check the draft in the chimney pipe and also raise the check in the furnace, leaving the front draft open as far as I dare, but in spite of this it boils over frequently. It would seem to me that, by using the above method of draft, I might get a better temperature, but I am afraid to leave the front draft open. My house is 20 x 29, with a 3-foot double-boarded wall.

The diagram shows a 2l^-inch main which runs with a slight upward pitch to the farther end of the house, where it branches and supplies two coils of- five l^^.-inch pipes running along the end and sides of the house back to the boiler. The boiler has a 20-inch grate and is evidently able to heat the house readily, and there is no reason appar- ent for the trouble mentioned unless the returns are below the top of the heater. It would be better, however, if the flow were given a slight fall and the expansion tank were connected with the highest part of the flow, instead of with the return, as seems to be the case from the diagram. If the returns are much below the top of the heater, this would not do away entirely with the difficulty, although it would lessen it to some extent. Aside from raising the boiler end of the flow pipe so that it will have a slight fall, it will be necessary to lower the boiler so that it will be as low as, or lower than, the lower part of the returns. Instead of lowering the boiler, the same eflfect could be obtained by plac- ing a mercury generator on the expan- sion pipe. STEAM FOR THREE HOUSES. Kindly give me a few hints about the heating system that I am going to install. I have three connected houses, each 27x200. The boiler pit is eight feet deep and is at the center of the houses, on the north side. 1 shall use two No. 36, 8-section Ideal steam boil- ers. My heating engineer advises me to place the main supply pipe in the same way as the return, in a trench in the ground. Would this method give me perfect circulation in the sys- tem? I should not like to have a steam trap attached to it. What would you advise? I am located near Brooklyn, N. Y. C. T. While the data furnished are not sufficient!}' definite to warrant any- thing but general suggestions, no good reason is apparent for not following the advice of the engineer. The main supply pipe may be carried in a trench directly across the three houses. From this two or more supply pipes for each of the houses may be taken off and connected with the coils. Most of these should be upon the walls, but, if benches are used, it is generally ad- visable to have at least two 1^/4 -inch pipes under each of them. The coils can be carried to the farther end of each of the houses, with a slope of about one inch in ten feet, and can there be connected with the returns. One return can be used for each house, or all of the coils in the three houses mav be connected to a common return. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. — Alderman W. E. F. Weber, proprietor of the Soo Greenhouses, is planning to make ex- tensive improvements as soon as the weather will permit this spring. He will build a large addition to his pres- ent plant, extending the greenhouses west to the street, thus giving him 5,000 feet of glass in addition to the 8,000 feet that he now has in commis- sion. Greenhouse Heating Systems and tf« RETURN TRAPS work well together It costs no more to have free and clear steam lines and an efficient heating sys- tem than to have sluggish lines and an inefficient heat- ing system. It's useless to expect good results when trying to put steam through coils that are half full of condensation. "Detroit" Return Traps not only keep lines clear of water but automatically re- turn it directly to the boiler at practically the same temperature at which it is condensed.

PROSPEROUS FLORISTS frequently owe their prosperity to foresight in making use of up-to-date appliances for saving expense, labor, time, etc., and at the same time increasing efficiency and results. You know that a constant, steady water supply is necessary if you want the best possible crops, whether in the field or under glass We recognized this need years ago, and to meet it properly we developed STANDARD PUMPING ENGINES. They are fully guaranteed. If in any way unsatis- factory they may be returned at our expense and pur- chase price will be refunded. These engines are made in a variety of styles and are adapted to almost any conditions ordinarily present, and will pump liquid fertilizers as easily as water, without any danger of clogging. Some are made to pump from shallow wells, cisterns, lakes or rivers; others are adapted to pump from deep wells, but all of them use either gaa or gasoline and are constructed with a view to reliability above everything else. Let us send you Catalogue No. 12. It tells much of interest and is free, but we need your name and address. The Standard Pump & Engine Co., cuvd^'S BRAMPTON. ONT. Snow still covers the ground, and the dreariest of winters, shows little dispo- sition to give way gracefully to a spring- like Easter — at present, anyhow. Eiehard Jennings will hardly be able to notice Easter, as his carnations have received so severe a cutting during the last three months. His sweet peas and marguerites are in evidence, however, and will doubtless meet with a ready sale. Walter Calvert is getting ready for bedding out, and is much gratified with the season 's turnover so far. Mark Henderson is growing some fine sweet peas and lettuce, and intends en- larging his premises this year. William Fendley is selling large quan- tities of violets. A magnificent house of Cattleya Schroederae is the chief attraction at the Dale Estate Greenhouses this week; it is, without exception, the finest dis- play ever seen in the orchid section. Special lines of ferns moved out as soon as they were listed, anything good sell- ing almost at sight in this country today. Easter lilies have turned up trumps, after all, and are proving con siderably better, both in quantity and quality, than anticipated. A cut of 60,- 000 violets per day is quite a common occurrence, and a ready market awaits this stock at 50 cents and 60 cents per hundred. Tlie first carload of redwood rafters has just arrived from California, to be used in the erection of three new houses for the Dale Estate. The houses will be each 840 feet long, and should be well advanced toward completion by the end of June. The huge cold storage premises for this firm were finished last week, after nearly five months had been spent in the work of construction. Frank Gilbert and Austin Vaile left for P^dmonton, Alto., a few days ago. W. 0. P. Kansas City, Mo. — T. Xormann, gar- dener for Mrs. A. R. Meyer, reports that Mrs. Meyer has ordered from the John C. Moninger Co.. the materials for two iron-frame greenhouses, one of them 22x70 and the other 34x60. Under the latter house there will be a reinforced waterproof basement. The old houses will be torn down. ^'>^ « *» ~ • \"'j #wt:;:^- ^SSS Works Like Rain And Works Almost as Automatically The Skinner System of Irritration is the last word in watering. The area one man can water is limited only by the extent of the installation. All you have to do is to turn on the water and go about your other work. Kvery fifteen or twenty minutes come back and, by means of the Skinner Turning Device, throw the entire system over to the other side. This permits you to water twenty minutes, leave to soak in for twenty minutes, then water again— the most successful method known to scientific gardening. And with the Skinner System the water descends in a mist form that cannot bruise the tenderest foliage nor cake the ground. Write today for these six books. Whether you are a florist or a gardener, these books will show you where you can have a dependable water supply at low cost— one that will eliminate all loss through drought, keep down insects and yield you dou- ble crops.

The plan is to rebuild, making four short-span houses, each 13x121, with two 5-foot concrete benches, planting to carnations for next season. They expect a big call for vegetable plants this spring, as growers cannot get onto the frozen ground to plant their seeds at the usual date.

March proved quite a satisfactory month, considering the lenten season. The wholesalers were at no time short of anything and probably the average price obtained for stock will compare favorably with other seasons, notwith- standing the number of complaints. The retailers report that the month was satisfactory with them and, had we not experienced so much disagreeable weather, it would have been much bet- ter; there were a number of funerals during the month, which made an un- usual demand for stock. Palm Sunday did not make any spe- cial demand for flowers, although Sat- urday cleaned up well and at this time Easter prospects look good. Various Notes. The McCallum Co. will move after Easter from the Liberty avenue location to Seventh street, wliere ^there is more room and convenience for handling the business. Eandolph & McClements have one house of azaleas nnd two houses of lilies which they expect to clean up in their retail trade during Easter week. Alfred McCoyd, the Arcade florist, who has been away most of the winter for his health, expects to be back to take care of his Easter trade. Some of the visitors last week were: Harry Balsley, Detroit; .Tohn Walker, Youngstown, O. ; F. M. Ruppert, Cum- berland, Md. Hoo-Hoo. MAYWOOD, ILL. Charles Cassier, who has been in the growing business here for the last two years, has a nice lot of bedding plants started for the Memorial day rush. He reports hard luck with sweet peas dur- ing the winter and will probably grow potted plants entirely. The Felsch Bros. Co., at Tenth ave- nue and Madison street, has put a new addition of 3,000 square feet into serv- ive and is growing a lot of bedding plants in it. The rest of tlie range is used for carnations, sweet peas and roses, with the exception of one house, which is filled with some fine Easter lilies that will be ready for the Easter market. .STANDARD VENTILATING MACHINERY The orlKlnal machine with Belf-olllnR cups.

The Weekly Florists' Rcvkw* 9 ^^-.'A->^.V>'t'-.f^;--.»>-;^.»)-V.»;-ferl FLORIST » THE RETAIL NOVELTIES. The Purpose They Serve. A novelty — Honiething new. But the term has been so long used to describe articles a little out of the common that novelties may mean some old plant or flower that has not been seen for a long time, or a new way of arranging or showing some commoi^;f*pecies. These have been so long knoVn in the trade as novelties that the meaning of the term is quite understood. The shrewd business man in any line knows that in order to maintain the interest of his best patrons, something out of the ordinary must continually be thought out and displayed. These things are not always artistic or in the best of taste, but they serve the pur- pose of transferring cash from the pockets or bank accounts of the wealthy to those of the retail florists. An in- stance of this was the craze a year or two ago for violet and other boxes made up to imitate millinery. These were a real success financially, but no one could say that they were either artistic or useful. Artistic Receptacles. This, however, cannot oe urged against some of the pretty ware and other things now handled by up-to-date retailers. Some of the designs for table decorations are so choice and good that, long after the flowers or plants used have decayed, the china or other ware in which they were displayed is cher- ished by the fortunate owners. Quite recently a lady customer . brought a fern dish of pure white china, of a lat- tice pattern, into a store and insisted on waiting while it was filled, as it had been presented to her by a friend, and she thought so much of it that it could not be entrusted to a servant or even left at the store. It is this attraction to beautiful ob- jects of art that enables a florist to lay in a stock costing sometimes thousands of dollars without any fear, for he knows that his best customers will ap- preciate his efforts in this direction. A skillful arrangement of flowers or ferns, in choice pieces of ware, stood on or near the customers' desk in the store, often leads to sales by silent suggestion. The customer thinks of a place in his or her home that would be beautified by just such an arrange- ment, and often purchases it without any pushing by the salesman. Opportunities for Originality. Then there are pretty and more or less useful things, not of a costly nature, but attractive. During the visit of a famous singer to a southern city, one retailer either copied or conceived the idea of lily of the valley fans. These were shown in the window, with the name of the singer and dates of the concerts prominently displayed. Quite a number were sold, as the nov- elty of the thing appealed to many people. In every city there are fre- quent happenings of a public character — inaugurations, receptions to public men, race or aviation meetings or even the ubiquitous ball game. Most of these give the wide-awake florist a chance to display originalitj' in ideas, which, if not always immediately profit- able, at least make the store talked about and constitute the best kind of advertising. Novelty, in short, is spice to trade, and the retailer who can use his gray matter and introduce something of a novel nature on all possible occasions will, in almost every instance, score over the man without ideas who trails along at the end of the procession. A GOOD CASKET COVES. The illustration herewith shows a handsome casket cover carried out in white and pink roses, orchids, Easter lilies and valley by the Hayward Floral Co., of Los Angeles, Cal. Bert Bate- man, the talented designer for this pro- gressive firm, is responsible for this fine piece of work, which was much admired by all who saw it. While the photo- graph hardly did justice to it, yet enough is shown to indicate the high class of artistic work. EASTEB XOTES. Ideal spring weather almost every- where brought out the biggest crowds on record — but practically all of the Piaster business was done in three days. Cut flowers are coming back toward the center of the stage now that the prices stand somewhere near normal. Perhaps in another year or two the retailers will devote their energies equally to pushing plants and cut flowers. Some of the best stores in the middle west decline to handle violets at Easter even when it is as early as this year,, or recommend that sweet peas be taken instead. Not so many azaleas this year, and not such big ones, but more and better roses. Prices were lower than usual, at re- tail, in many of the stores that cater to the wealthy trade. Plants were sold cheaper. With prices for cut flowers being cut in the daily newspaper ad- vertising of the last few weeks, the old-time prices for plants looked a little too steep. E. Wienhoeber, Chicago, says La Lorraine, pink, and Avalanche, white, will put the Otaksa hydrangea out of business as a pot plant for retail store sales. The Mrs. Cutbush rose is no good aa an Easter pot plant. Fashion's florists used satin taff"eta ribbons this season. A retailer was heard to tell a cus- tomer that Rhea Reid roses, cut, open poorly, and a moment later to commend Mrs. Ward for the way it develops in water. Of the Easter pot plants none were finer than the Hiawatha roses, but Catket G>ver of Roses, Valley and Lilies by Hayward Floral G>^ Los Angeles. 10 The Weekly Rorists* Review. April 11, 1912. some of the most beautifully flowered specimens were American Pillar. The retailers no longer order their Easter cut flowers a month in advance, or even a week in advance. They wait to see how the weather turns and the demand develops. They wire for stock. There were few disappointments this year. An Easter corsage bouquet was made of buds of Mrs. Aaron Ward rose with white crocuses in front and below, backed with Mexican ivy and tied with white ribbon. The effect was excellent. Of course every store that makes any pretensions whatever put at least a crepe paper cover on every pot, but in the high class stores there was a notable moderation in the embellish- ment of the plants. While the use of baskets, jardinieres, pot covers and ribbons was more general than ever before, the decoration of the individual plants was not carried to the excess of other years. HABBINGTON'S AUTO. The H. Harrington concern, which was established in 1892 and incorpo- rated in 1901, now has two stores in Seattle, with 250,000 feet of glass on Vashon island. Eeeently the Flanders 20, of the Studebaker line of auto- mobiles, as shown in the accompanying illustration, was put on the street. The members of the staff say it is giving excellent service, taking care of the deliveries from both stores. ^^ NOTES ON ^ GLADIOLI i IDEALS IN GLADIOLI. In The Eeview of March 28, page 40, Brother Meader expresses his amaze- ment at my ideal gladioli, seven feet or so in height, and he thinks my 7- foot plants would require extraordi- nary root systems in order to with- stand the Ohio winds. Yes, the breezes blow sweepingly in Ohio, so that it is necessary to have unusually well de- fined anchorage in the root systems of our gladioli. When each hybridist will sum up the demands and needs of the various agen- cies using gladioli, we shall approach nearer to a common viewpoint as to what our ideals should include; then will our ideals largely coincide. We have a number of ideals, each for a specific purpose. For a strictly garden purpose we should want a dwarfer plant, with only a few blooms open at a time and lasting a long time in bloom, but for a cut flower and for massing purposes the ideal which I mentioned, and about which Brother Meader becomes quite humorous, is what will be shown by us in the not distant future. Suppose a florist wants a lot of gladi- oli for decoration in a large room, church or hall, why should not a vase of gladioli with 4-foot or 5-foot stems, broad foliage and enormous flowers, make glad both the decorator and the employing party? By no means are these abnormal, but they are built up systematically, with a large number of characters, instead of only the few which Mendel contemplated. Besides, one must not forget that Mendelism is for one thing, which can be and is superseded. Was not my ideal thor- oughly harmonious, well balanced, rightly rounded? Eeplying to Mr. Meader 's question, a majority of our present hybrids of Primulinus are nicely opened to catch those "boisterous breezes," to test their wings and anchorage. They em- brace qualities of all types, but are mostly clear yellows, with little or no markings, while some have nice lines or blotches. The results are absolutely in the hands of the hybridist; he alone must shape the future of his pets. Few hybridists have been getting the results that they should, because they have not observed their work carefully and crit- ically. In a few years the question of breeding will be revolutionized. Boses and carnations that we consider today phenomenal will not be so considered. I realize that I tread on dangerous ground when I say this, but I am ready to prove my statements. I have done some work on other sub- jects to prove my deductions, notably with the hemerocallis. These results have been even more pronounced than with the gladiolus, showing many much larger flowers than the best sorts, such as Florham, aureola and aurantiaca major, with much more vigorous growth and more freedom in flowering. Some blooms measure eight inches in diameter. There are richest goldens, golden orange, bronzes, tawns and pale lemon white, some richly tinted with pink and red, showing that soon we shall have them in all colors. Alongside of these hybrids, the older sorts and types are commonplace. I shall next add to my work cereals, especially corn, in a small way, and expect to advance the time of ripening without sacrificing any other good qualities. We may think that gladioli are in enormous demand at present, but in five years we shall sell millions where we sell thousands now, only the quality must be enhanced and much of the commonplace rubbish being sent out to- day must be eliminated. We are not "assuming," but can easily prove our claims. A word about wilting before pack- ing: Peonies have been left all day and night in the fields, so that they looked scalded when discovered the next morning. By cutting off a little of the ends knd putting the stems in water they were packed with the day's cut, and in the evening no one could detect that they had undergone such an ordeal. In the case of many plants, a few moments of lying in the air to wilt increases their ability to absorb water. This, of course, should be done with care. C. Betscher. DRY EOT. I am sending you a few America gla- diolus bulbs that appear to be diseased. Please tell me what it is called and what to do about it. Would you ad- vise planting the bulba that are affected or would it be necessary to destroy them? What effect will it have on the flowers? I have separated all the good bulbs from the bad ones. None of the bulbs has flowered more than two years and all are field grown. Any information you can give me on the subject I shall be thankful for. W. J. P. The gladiolus corms are infected with the fungus commonly known as dry rot. The investigation of gladiolus diseases has not progressed far enough for us to say what the specific organism is that causes this trouble. Therefore it is im- possible as yet to offer suggestions of value concerning treatment. When pos- sible, it would be the safer course to abandon the culture of susceptible vari- eties, but if this cannot be done, would suggest that the diseased bulbs be sort- ed out and destroyed. Planting the dean stock on new land is advised. There is no solution into which you can dip the corms which would prove effective, because the fungus is too deep- seated for this. Small lots of valuable bulbs may have the spots cut out and f-. Studebaker-Flandert Delivety Car Uxd by a Sea tie Florist. "IFip WJiM 'fi."J-'f.^',' ■ '." '»'n»i|i«p»i», i>i|i,»; T i;i., i,'?

A. C. Beal. INTEREST IN ADVEBTISING. That the advertising in a trade publi- cation has interest for the subscribers scarcely second to the interest in the text pages has for some years been recognized. In fact, since advertising in trade journals developed above the business-card stage the advertising pages have been gone over with the same care as the text pages by all who want to keep in touch with the pro- gress of the trade the journal repre- sents. Hence it has come about that the trade paper carrying the largest volume of advertising has found that advertising, far from being a matter of indiflference to its readers, is a posi- tive and potent factor in maintaining and increasing its subscription list. Take the case of The Review as an example. Its value to its readers, and to its advertisers, has been steadily strengthened by the fact of the in- crease in the advertising patronage. Practically all the offers are in its pages, so why look elsewhere? Probably few have stopped to reason it out, but the fact long has been apparent that the extent of the advertising patronage has been one of the strongest reasons why The Review has brought such ex- cellent returns to its advertisers. Evi- dence has accumulated proving that no matter how much other trade literature the florist may have on his desk — ^pub- lications, catalogues, price-lists — when he is in need of stock he looks for it in the last copy of The Review. Why? It is as plain as can be: Because the the offers practically ALL are there — the most offers, the best offers, the freshest offers — the widest selection. It's like the stranger who wants a cigar. He doesn't buy it at the little shop that has only two or three brands in the case; of course not; he buys at the big store on the corner, where there is a long case full of all sorts and sizes and kinds, and where they sell more of EACH brand every day than the other shop sells all told of its few. That 's the way advertising works. There's almost always something worth seeing when one follows the crowd. All of which merely is preliminary to saying that the Chicago Tribune re- cently has discovered that the fact that it carries more advertising than any other Chicago paper is a strong card both with the public and the advertis- ers. Not content with the natural growth of appreciation of this point of strength, The Tribune has undertaken a campaign of advertising its advertis- ing. In other words, it is showing up, in figures, how much greater is the range of choice of those who read Tribune advertising than of those who read the advertising in any other paper. Taking trade by trade, The Tribune is printing the figures. Reproduced herewith is the advertise- ment recently published to show how much The Tribune leads in advertising carried for florists. Incidentally a line is given on how much advertising was Pick Your Flowers with Care We all need flo'nrcn in oar Uvea.

I'ierson, read before the Baltimore I'loris'ts' and (iardeners' Clul) April S, 1912.] I am reminded of the fact that I have crossed the Mason and Dixon line in coming to Baltimore to speak to you this evening, and that fact has a great deal of significance to me. In the north an invitation may be one prompted by courtesy pure and simple, but in the south an invitation is extended because of inherent hospitality and I feel that you really wanted to have me accept your hospitality and tell you a few of the points which I believe may aid some in the upbuilding of business, and which will tend to improve conditions in the flower world in which our lives are be- ing spent. We are reminded that the business is not all flowers, for our sub- ject tonight is roses, and they all have thorns, but with the hope of relieving the rose growing industry of some of its thorns I will attempt to give you in brief an outline of a jtath that leads to success in the rose growing business. Educating the Public. I realize the subject is broad, for the rose growing industry extends not from sea to sea but encircles the globe. We cannot all become familiar with condi- tions in Europe, nor see the wonders of the Pacific coast when the roses are in bloom, but we read of the cities of the western coast buying roses for street planting by the 25,000 lots and we know that means the making of hundreds of thousands of rose lovers, and these cities are famous more on account of their wonderful display of roses than for the great industrial establishments which are the backbone of their pros- perity. We have not the climate here in the east which will permit such ex- tensive operations, but we have, never- theless, wonderful opportunities which, if taken advantage of, would accom- plish much that is to be desired and, allowing for unfavorable climatic con- ditions, if we had some of the western spirit which is behind those wonderful displays on the western coast we might be at least close competitors and at least receive honorable mention in the awards, and a vote of thanks, although perhaps unspoken, from every man, woman or child who is fortunate enough to behold a well kept rose garden in its prime. We have a few such samples in our state, of which Elizabeth park, in Hart- ford, is a striking example. Eamblers, hybrid perpetuals, hybrid teas and the polyantha type are gathered together in a rose garden some acres in extent, and to those who have never seen this park in the middle of June I can only say that you have one of the good things of life in store for you. If you are fortu- nate enough to visit it, the memory will linger long. And the result of such a rose garden is the education of the public. I have heard a rumor that the public is not in- terested except in a few flowers to make a wedding scene like an event of joy, and a few flowers to make a burial seem proper, but don't you believe it. But I do ask you to believe that the public needs educating to discriminate between roses in other ways than by colors and that the public wants and needs as much variety in the flowers it buys as in the neckties it wears or the food it eats. I have seen the Elizabeth park rose gar- den crowded so that it was a case of follow the crowd to get through, and these people were using the notebook and pencil to such an extent that they moved slowly indeed. That, gentlemen, is educating the public in the best pos-, sible manner and the results come back to us all who are growers of plants and flowers, for a discriminating flower buyer is the best possible customer and often becomes so much of a crank on the subject as to be able to give us commercial men many a lesson in roses. Growers Full of Hope. Men who plant seeds and who work the soil are hopeful men. Their en- thusiasm is somewhat in keeping with the man who sets a hen and counts his chickens before they are hatched. This, I believe, is a factor in the growth of the flower industry in this country and in the world. There is a feeling of sat- isfaction which comes with the con^ struction of a new house and the plant- ing of a crop, and that feeling is gen- eral with the florists of the country. They are building, and this year, in spite of the fact that business as a whole has been unsettled and in many branches of industry extremely dull. As a rule a greenhouse man counts his profits by counting his glass area. A little more glass than last year is the general report so far as profit and loss statements go. I believe there are less failures among greenhouse men than in any other line of business, in spite of the fact that practically everything which is handled is of a perishable na- ture. What does that prove? First, that they are honest, for honesty is of the soil, and they are toilers who live from the products of the soil, and, sec- ond, that they are hopeful and not eas- ily discouraged, and, last and more than all, that the public wants and is willing to buy what has been produced by the sweat from the brows of honest men. Essentials in Rose Growing. Eose growing and the rose business is at least sixty per cent of the total flower business of the country, which fact places roses as a matter of first importance and consideration, and I might venture to say that at least two- thirds of this is the product of roses grown under glass. Now let us for a moment consider the proper conditions which give us the best roses under glass. I want to name a few conditions which I consider ideal, and first of all I should place soil: A heavy turf from lowlands that have been saving up the silt and richness from the hillsides for centuries; one that has an abundance of root fiber in it, and one that has not been com- posted so long that it has lost that fiber which gives it life. It should have a clay body, for roses delight in a clay soil, but it should be porous enough to admit water and air freely. Air in soil is essential. The largest root is the root in the ashes on which plants in pots have been standing for some time, and air which encourages root action is the only plausible explanation of this fact which I have ever heard. Cow ma- nure for roses is the best fertilizer which we know of, and in many soils a bone tankage running from four to five per cent nitrogefl and not necessar- ily high in phosphoric acid will give strength and vitality to the plants. Good stock to start with is needed and the best is none too good. Consider that roses are often kept in the houses for two or three years and the propor- tionate cost of good above poor stock is too trifling to mention. Steam heat is essential to roses and, although I know some growers make a ■ VrVl:^T*' ' Apbil 11, 1012. jyjic Weekly Fbfiste^ Rgvkw^ 18 fair success of roses with hot water alone, I have never seen roses of the best quality produced with hot water heat exclusively. Hot water and steam in conjunction we consider ideal. If one system breaks we have the other to keep out frost. If in the cold of win- ter the warm water pipes are in the house, the moderate heat is beneficial, but we do not want this heat in the warmer days in spring and fall, when a «team pipe about the houses is needed at night, and, as the steam pipes cool quickly, we have no heat on during the day, when it is not wanted. A circula- tion of air at night by means of open ventilation, with a steam pipe on which sulphur has been placed, is the means of keeping off mildew and black spot, which in summer are so apt to affect roses. From 3 a. m. to 5 a. m. is the danger time, and the air at night is .iust as essential as in the day, for the morning that finds the white dew set- tled on the foliage at daylight is the morning trouble starts. It is all due to dead, stagnant air and poor ventilation, which more air, a little sulphur and a steam pipe or two will correct. I have stated on other occasions that a good rose house is a house which will grow roses well, and this is true, but there are different kinds of roses, just as there are different styles of houses. I have seen good summer roses in poor houses running north and south, but these conditions are the opposite of the ideal. My personal opinion is that an even-span wide house is the best house for roses and that qualification, even- span, is put in because I believe the even-span house is more properly ven- tilated than the two-thirds-span or un- even-span house, and, so far as shade goes, any good, modern built iron con- struction house is light enough in all parts for the proper growing conditions, although the more light the better, pro- vided we do not go to the extreme of laying glass the 24-inch way to get it. Drainage is an important factor, wor- thy of consideration. With solid beds, plain land tile covered with from ten to eighteen inches of coarse gravel or coal ashes makes drainage that will give satisfaction. In building benches the builder should never forget that wet lumber swells and should allow for the swell in building and leave the cracks wide. We grow practically all our roses in solid beds, but for growing young stock and certain varieties of roses we prefer the bench. Cultural Suggestions. Given, then, good soil, good water, steam heat, or steam and hot water, good houses, good plants, the question is, how to produce the goods. A few general pointers may be helpful. Build up a plant first. Get something to work on. Don't flower the first bot- tom breaks and sacrifice your future for the few j)ennies they will bring in a glutted market in hot weather. Get back to good, sound eyes and let them grow. The root system will be in pro- portion to top growth, and build the top and you '11 have the roots. Water freely, and especially is this true if your roses are grafted. Wild roses grow best in the swamps and your Manetti root is a wild root. Just so long as water can get away freely you will seldom be able to overwater graft- ed roses, and that time comes only when you are cutting a heavy crop of Wallace R. Pienon. flowers and thus checking the root action. Don t let spiders sap the life from the foliage, as it leaves them without lungs, for the leaves are the lungs, and sometime when you see a sickly bunch of spider-eaten plants think of a tu- berculosis camp and clean their lungs out with numerous good applications of the hose and let them get a breath again and go ahead. Don't mulch heavily, not under any circumstances. Your root system will be buried and killed for lack of air, as your feeders are near the top and until they have made new feeders there can be little growth. Don't cut back into the hard wood unless there is big money in sight. Your next crop will be longer breaking from the hard wood and you are losing valuable time. Diversify the Supply. And, most important of all for sue cess in growing roses for the open mar- ket is, don 't grow what everyone else grows just because they are growing it. Increased glass area means more roses grown. Suppose, for example, all the new ranges were planted with Killar- ney. White Killarney and Richmond. Figure out the result for yourselves. If you have any reason to be dissatis- fied with this year's returns from your crop, just figure what it will be in the future with more of the same product in the market. The way to avoid glut markets is to fill the market with a variety of roses and not with the same identical thing. Give your retailer a chance to show what he can do with something besides Killarney. That seems to me to be the solution of the problem: Education of the public to be discriminating flower buyers through our parks and flower shows, local ad- vertising by the retailer, an assortment of roses in sufficient quantity to insure a steady supply. In all these things the retailer, wholesaler and grower must work in harmony for the good of the trade. Keep roses in your stores twelve months of the year. My Maryland, Double White Killarney, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Mrs. Taft,"- Radiance and roses of the type of Christy Miller and Princeton will make a good combina- tion from March to December. Killar- ney Queen, Killarney, Double Pink Kil- larney, White Killarney, Richmond, Ijady Hillingdon, Sunburst, in addition to those previously mentioned, will in- crease the variety and perhaps be at the best when the former are not. I regret that this list of varieties is not longer, but every year adds some that are worth growing and there is money in any when properly grown and prop- erly handled. The question of roses is broad and it takes in pot roses, which subject is a study in itself and on which T wish to speak but briefly. Baby Ramblers, Mrs. Cutbush, Dorothy Perkins. Flower of Fairfield, Tausendschon and others make a most interesting display and medium-sized, well-grown plants are as a rule easilv salable. The work of Mr. Walsh, of Woods Hole, Mass., in bring- ing climbing roses into the high place they now hold was well worthy of the American Rose Society's gold medal. He is one of the men we honor, and you have in Baltimore one who de- serves and is given the admiration and 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Ai'uii. 11. 1'.)1J. iloiic ill .1!M 1 liy tlic retail llorists ulio iiscil ilisjjhiy sjiai-c in tlic ihiily ii;i|icis, 'I'hf lij:uic>- :tvi' siii|iiisiiii;. line tlicx' lilt' : hi 'llh' I rihuhr In ['.!• scinllil |i;l|Ml III Ilir Ihil'l ii:i|ii'i' III llic I'mnlli I'.'ipi'i I II I he til I li iMprr III llu' sixth |i:i|p('i' III I lir M'Vi'iil li |i:i| ■■ III Ihc .■iulilli liiiiiii \'j.:i I.' 1 iii.'^ .'.H.'Jils I '■.11 1'.

It was a great Easter, all right, es- pecially for the retailers. A BEGINNER as a florist should get a printed letter-head the first thing. One 's communications should show one's con- nection with the business if trade prices are expected. 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-bUl that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. CoiiECnONS, as evidenced by the clear- ings of the banks, are rather better than usual. The florist who finds his money coming slowly should look into his system of getting after it. Floods last autumn in Wisconsin are responsible for the season's scarcity of sphagnum moss and now the floods in the south are shutting off the supply of sheet moss just as that article comes into its heaviest demand. A PRELIMINARY list of premiums has been issued for the flower show to be held at St. Paul, November 8 to 12, by a special organization under the auspices of the Minnesota State Florists' Asso- ciation. Those interested should ad- dress S. D. Dysinger, secretary, 22 West Fifth street, St. Paul. The Easter business was big every- where. The weather was favorable and an immense lot of stock was sold, un- doubtedly more than in any previous year, for production, Both of plants and cut flowers, increases steadily. What the trade should study with regard 'to Easter is getting the buyers started earlier. The business is crowded into too short a time. The manufacturers of greenhouse build- ing material are rushed with inquiries, most of them reporting more calls for esti- mates during March than in any pre- vious month in their business history. After the enormous extension of glass area that took place in 1911 the extent of the building this season is something of a surprise, even to the material men themselves, some of whom had looked for a quiet season. OBITUABY. Bobert Innes. Robert Innes, a retired florist, died March 28 at his home, 48 Pine street, Brooklyn, N. Y., aged 82 years. He was bom in England and for the last half century had lived in Brooklyn, most of which time he spent in the Bushwick section. He had outlived his wife and family and is survived by one niece, Miss Florence Innes. He was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration. THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION. The executive committee of the Western Dahlia and Gladiolus Associa- tion has decided on Milwaukee as the place for the fall show, and as early a date in September as possible for the time. One of the largest department stores in the west has given free space and permits an entrance fee to aid in defraying expenses. This virtually guarantees the success of the show, as all money pledged can be used for pre- miums. The aim is to make this exhi- bition the largest ever held west of the AUeghenies, for the gladiolus and dahlia, and also to include other flow- ers, especially the perennials, that are in bloom at that date. Nearly $100 already has been pledged for premiums, without a canvass, and as soon as ar- rangements are perfected a thorough canvass will be made. The design is to raise not less than $250 for premiums alone. Already a sweepstakes premium of $25 cash has been pledged for the best general exhibit, to include both the gladiolus and dahlia, and wherever the matter has been discussed the best of encouragement has been given. As- sociation Bulletin No. 3 will be issued as soon as the list is fairly complete, and necessary arrangements made, so that a definite program can be an- nounced. All growers west of the Al- leghenies, and especially those whose locality is in the great central west, are cordially invited to cooperate and work for the best display yet given. This is essentially a growers' proposition, and the growers are invited to come to their own. Full particulars will be given as soon as possible, and any inquiries will be cheerfully answered by the secretary, at Benton Harbor, Mich., or H. W. Koer- ner, vice-president, Milwaukee, Wis. E. S. Thompson, Sec'y. CHICAQO. The Great Central Market. It was a wonderful Easter, certainly the greatest Chicago ever has seen in quantity of stock handled, and with most of the wholesalers the greatest in point of money total, though in indi- vidual cases growers report that they did not cut enough more flowers to make up for the reluctance of the buy- ers to pay the usual Easter prices. There was no shortage of stock in any important line. The first three days of the week preceding Easter were cold and raw. Then came the first three days of spring, bright and warm. The way the plants responded was really surprising. The growers were kept busy cutting, cutting, cutting. The supply, in the end, proved much greater than had been reckoned on at the mid- dle of the week. While the market was fairly well cleaned up Friday night, Saturday's receipts were so heavy that it was impossible to effect a clearance even where buyers' ideas as to prices were freely met. The receipts Sunday morning also were heavy and served to further embarrass some of the com- mission houses. It therefore was natu- ral that all prices should be easy, with the lines that were longest getting weaker and weaker as the rush sub- sided. Taking the list in its usual order. Beauties were about the only scarcity. Some houses had enough to go around, i!f||.!PI,fj|,U_ ijk«_j.i.. Apbii. 11. 1012.

Eoses were in large supply, of splendid qual- ity and in the greatest request ever known at Easter. Prices held firm. For two or three weeks it had been voiced around: "There won't be any too many carnations"; but it proved that carnations were the most overplefl- tiful flowers on the list. There is, how- ever, some difference in reports. A few houses say they cleaned up well, at regular prices, but a look in at other houses Saturday afternoon was enough to show what was happening. In fact, as early as Thursday evening telegrams were sent out offering first-class stock ■at $25 per thousand and Friday night sales of low grade carnations were made at $15 and even $10. The carnations responded to the warm weather in a wonderful manner, the arrivals Satur- day afternoon and Sunday being the heaviest of the week. A clean-up was simply out of the question. Lilies did well. There was no short- age, except, perhaps, of the longer stems, but there was no surplus. Prices held at about those of other years, the bulk of the stock being sold at from 8 to 12 cents, with the best bringing 15 cents and the shorts 6 cents, al- though some sales at 5 cents are report- ed and a few culls were left. One of the special features was the arrival of several thousand lilies on consignment to various commission houses from Do- moto Bros., of San Francisco. The ex- press was about $15 per thousand. The flowers and buds were drawn up and wrapped so tightly in tissue paper that they did not entirely resume their natu- ral form on being unwrapped. The wholesaler who received the first lot refused a second consignment Saturday, although he had succeeded in moving a part of the first shipment at fair prices. Others accepted the Saturday arrivals in the belief that they could at least realize the express, but quantities were still on hand Tuesday.

Single violets were not plentiful, but there were »11 the Ehinebeck doubles that could be used, and more. Valley was plentiful. Tulips came in heavily and proved slow sale; many were lost. Daflfodils and jonquils went well, but the southern outdoor stock proved diffi- cult to move at any price. Sweet peas sold well, taking the place of violets, but the supply was so extremely large that prices were a disappointment to some who depend rather largely on this crop. Such items as antirrhinums, mignon- ette, stocks, candytuft, lupines, margue- rites, pansies, callas, freesia, etc., were difficult to convert into cash at their usual values because of the large supply and the abundance of the big staples. The market opened quiet Monday, April 8. There was a fair amount of buying for the morning after a holiday, showing that nearly all the retailers had cleaned up pretty well. But stock came in heavily and prices were down. Tues- day the supply was still larger and the season of spring bargain sales appears to be on. Smilax is the only scarce item. Easter at Eetail. In spite of a none too pleasant day, April 7, and a heavy shower in the middle of Saturday afternoon, most of the retailers had their banner Easter. The three big selling days were de- lightfuUy warm and bright and the busi- ness done by the downtown stores was limited only by their ability to wait on the trade. With the outlying stores it was much the same. The report is general that the sales were fully as numerous as at any other Easter, while many report a big increase made pos- sible by enlarged facilities. Some say they sold at the usual Easter prices, but others report having been able to offer exceptional values on one or more items. mwsmTt^ngSTrT'r^ AFBIL 11, 1012.

About the usual busi- ness was done in plants; there may have been some increase here with a few stores, but most of the increase in sales was on cut flowers, of which there was no limit to the supply. Of course, there are exceptions. A few had plants left, notably the larger azaleas, and some had short lilies in pots to use up in work. Others, nota- bly the stores that do a big Saturday night and Sunday trade, say the cut flowers did not go as expected, but few were stuck, as they had not stocked heavily. Otto Wittbold Nursery Co.

The wonderful growth of the love for plants and flowers in the hearts of the people is clearly shown in the immense quantities distributed this Easter. The quantity of each, and their combined value, was the largest in the history of this market. In the home, in the church, on the street, they were seen everywhere in an endless variety of form and color that well-nigh defies description. The Plant Market. The lily, preeminently the Easter plant, is as popular as of old when well grown, with clean foliage, good height and plenty of perfect flowers. Owing to better culture, the hydrangea has gained favor. Well-flowered azaleas were less numerous than usual, a dis- appointment to many. The spiraea was also less plentiful than last season, many roots intended for this market being damaged last fall in transit. The rose made a stride forward, not undisputed, as favorite. The varieties flowered were more numerous, better grown and therefore more popular in both the tall and the dwarf types. There is a range of color and profu- sion of bloom not dreamed of a few years ago, when there was only the Crimson Kambler. The hardiness and keeping qualities of this class of roses have much to do with their popularity. The shipping orders for plants took much fine stock to other cities, keeping the packers and express companies busy for ten days before Good Friday. The local demand lasted throughout the week before Easter, ending in clear- ance sales on Easter eve in vacant stores or on pavements in busy parts of the city. There was little stock left in the greenhouse, in the store, or on the street that was fit to offer. There were some genistas left, as the demand for yellow that does not always prove satisfactory as a keeper, though beau- tiful, is limited. There were some poor lilies left, some daffodils and many tu- lips, also belated daisies with few open flowers. Khododendrons sold extremely April Weddings A good supply of fine Easter Lilies high grade stock at very moderate prices. PRINCETON, White Killarney, Richmond and Killarney Roses.

Mention The Review when yoa wnie well in moderate numbers. Hyacinths were generally good and were every- where; their size and brilliancy of color made them the moderate-purse-owner's friend. The fashionable shops individualized well-flowered specimen plants and rich basket combinations of growing plants of dazzlingly gorgeous colors, often be- decked with ribbon. The simpler shops contented themselves with more modest specimens and pans, crepe paper cov- ered. The growers used no embellish- ment, depending solely on nature's beauty aided by cultural skill; each had his hosts of followers. There were some plant novelties, among them hydrangeas of European breed that afforded a choice in shades of pink unattained by Otaksa. Ferns of Boston type rivaled the blooming plants for Easter favors, while palms and foliage plants were in request. Lilac, deutzia, valley in pots and pans, daisies and bougainvillea were grown and sold in moderate quantities. The weather was ideal, aiding, as fine weather only can, the sale of Easter plants. Cut Flowers. The weather was extraordinarily fa- vorable to the market, which opened poorly and improved steadily until the close. The buyers were busy with their plants on Thursday. The out-of-town demand, excellent though it was, could not begin to move the stock, much of which was poor. This lack of quality was partly due to holding, explained, though not excused, by the dullness of the preceding days. The market im- proved Friday. Better stock came, too, and by Saturday business was brisk, Apbil 11, 1912.

The fancies were about' equal to the demand. Killarney sold at from $15 to $20 for a few, while Bride and Maryland brought $10 to $12. Far more of these varieties brought $6 to $8, the shorts going fairly well at about $40 per thousand when in good condition. Southern daffodils were the feature of the bulb market. They arrived in increased numbers and were welcomed by the buyers who wanted much for their money. The prices ranged from $5 to $7.50 per thousand, occasionally $10.

The quantity of roses coming into town is large. To move them lower prices were needed. Valley has not had time to recover from the Easter scarcity, under the influence of heavy after-Eas- ter buying. Sweet peas are also in brisk request. The advance guard of belated Easter lilies is coming in, only scouts as yet; the market has not felt the effect of the army to follow. Various Notes.

For four days last week it required eighteen hours' work from the entire force to get out the orders, the express company making midnight trips in ad- dition to the day ones. Walter Mott, formerly with Henry A. Dreer, is calling on his friends in this city. The Collingdale Greenhouses made a hit with their daffodils last week. The wholesalers to a man were pleased with Easter. The retailers were not quite so unanimous, but most of them were delighted. H. Bayersdorfer is away on a short trip. The mayor has ordered the director of public works to ask for bids for four flower stands on city hall pavements, two at the east entrance and two at the west entrance. These stands have been considered in the light of political favors in the past, but such large quan- tities of flowers have been sold there that the wholesalers have persuaded the reform administration to put the privi- lege on a business footing. Charles Henry Fox has the nightly order from Julian Eltinge, who is star- ring in "The Fascinating Widow" at The Forrest, for a large- forearm bunch of valley and lavender orchids. The ' ' bride ' ' considers $25 not too much for the sensation he will cause through this novel new shower bunch each night. Foley Mfg. Co. will build a green- house for E. C. Marshall, Kennett, Pa. Large quantities of southern palms were used on Palm Sunday; some went through the wholesale channels, but most of them were supplied to the churches through the medium of the church supply houses. Phil. BOSTON. The Market. For a week before Easter cut flower receipts were comparatively light and everything kept cleaned up well. Good Kriday saw quite an active market, and by that time it became apparent from the steady advance in prices that not only plants but cut flowers were going to be in short supply. Saturday saw a veritable boom, and it is many yeara since there was so good an Easter mar- ket, even if it has been equaled. Every- one seems to be thoroughly tired out, but happy. It was truly a strenuous time and business far exceeded the most sanguine expectations. Pot plants were more in demand than ever and a decided shortage existed in some lines, growers being unable to fill orders they had taken.

This made wrapping up of plants unneces- sary and saved much labor. Easter lilies were in short supply and cleaned up quickly at $10 to .$12.50 per hun- dred. Some were sold to dry goods stores at lower prices, but these were not of the best quality. Eamblers, such as Tausendschon, Dorothy Perkins, Hia- watha and Lady Gay, had a great sale. Crimson Eambler was little seen, but quite a few of the baby ramblers were sold, and good hybrid perpetuals had a large sale. Azaleas were abundant, but were not so well flowered as in previous years. Of spiraeas and hydran- geas the supply was abundant. Genis- tas were also in large supply, the me- dium sized plants selling well. Lilacs were abundant and of good quality. Less acacias than usual were seen, but they sold well, as did ericas and boro- nias. Well-flowered marguerites were not overplentiful and more could have been sold. Mrs. Sander in pans proved a good seller. Dutch bulbous stock proved to be in short supply. For well- flowered geraniums the call was good. Forced deciduous shrubs in variety, kal- mias, rhododendrons, metrosideros,lily of the valley, palms and ferns all met with a good sale and it was far and away the best plant Easter Boston has ever had. Coming to cut flowers, the fears that there would be a heavy lot of held back stock thrown on the market at the last moment proved for once to be groundless. Eoses were in quite heavy crop. They made little advance in price, except on Saturday, when the boom in carnations helped them. All varieties were of good quality. Tafts, Beauties, Wards, Hillingdons, Eadiance and Killarneys were well sold out. Car- nations, which had been picking up in price through the week, boomed April 6, when it developed that there was to be a shortage of them, and as high as $10 per hundred was paid in some cases. Nothing worth while went be- low $3, and quantities sold at $5 and $6, about double the prices of a year ago.

Sweet peas were superb and cleaned up finely, as did marguerites, especially the yellows. Snapdragon made $1 to $2 per dozen, some extra fine making more. Pink was the best seller. English primroses and blue cornflowers met with a fine sale. Dutch bulbous stock sold out better than ever before, although there was a heavy supply. Gardenias sold at from $6 per dozen downwards. Cattleyas were chiefly Schroederte, but the call for these was not great. Asparagus, both plumosus and Sprengeri, adiantum, smilax and hardy ferns were all in great demand. Cut lilies made $10 to $12.50 per hundred, and more were wanted. Candidums made $6 to $8. Easter of 1912 will always be remem- bered with pleasure, for certainly it reached a new high water mark, both in plants and cut flowers.

William Sim had over 200,000 Prin- cess of Wales violets for Easter, as well as an immense pick of sweet peas, many of these having 18-inch to 24- inch stems. His pansies also were superb. I am pleased to report Thomas Peg- ler as coming along nicely. He is now at his home in Wollaston and hopes to be able to resume business soon, possibly this week.

Winterson's Seed (Boxwood) ists, sold out clean and had the best Easter on record. Business splendid, sales away ahead of all previous years, and extent of sales only limited by difficulty in se- curing flowers, was the experience of Welch Bros. Montrose Greenhouses had an unusu- ally heavy cut of roses for Easter, and their efficient salesman, E. A. Stickel, had no trouble in clearing them out in good season. Sidney Hoffman, at his big Massa- chusetts avenue store, was rushed as never before. John Barr, of South Natick, had a heavy Easter pick of high grade carna- tions. They sold like hot cakes at the Boston Cooperative Market. James Wheeler came out strong with carnations, snapdragons and yellow marguerites. He had some of the finest snapdragons on the market. Carbone's, on Boylston street, was a veritable hive of industry for Easter. Here are always to be found many plants not common, and critical custom- ers always find something to suit them. Arnold & Petros, on Boylston street, were surprised with their volume of business and were kept on the jump. This new firm is doing well. The hot weather of April 5 and 6 caused a great rush of trade at the seed stores. The season has been an erratic one and promises to be drawn out quite late.

Fourteen houses were dam- aged at that time and a like number will be erected. With the gas leaks closed up, the crops of J. A. Budlong are coming along in fine shape. The damage done to a couple of houses of Marylands was not as serious as at first thought and they will be in crop before long. The big storm on the afternoon of April 6 assumed the proportions of a tornado north of town, but the only greenhouses hit appear to have been those of a vegetable grower named Jennetine, in Evanston. Three houses 27x300 were demolished and several people at work in them badly cut. The wrecked plant is reported to have cost $7,000 last year. Michael Hermes' windmill was blown down, some glass being broken. Waco, Tex. — An addition is being built at the rear of the structure occu- pied by Wolfe the Florist, on Franklin street. This will provide extra space which Mr. Wolfe greatly needs. Coliunbus, O. — The Columbus Floral Co. has 77,500 square feet of glass and is erecting two new houses 35x400, which will give a total of 105,500 square feet of glass. The material is being furnished by the Foley Mfg. Co., Chi- cago. iWPSPiwpiiPi^'i Jiiw'>»'P-'^"«'.;»f. T.wvTiTrr^'iyy^pry,, '"'•vJ^s'^W ^f ,m ,t •«^r -tp»p '«' - -— r-- ^ Apbil 11, 1012.

The Easter business done in St. Louis this year was large, judging from the reports of all the leading west end establishments, where the great bulk of the business was done. The downtown store people also say they all had a busy time on Saturday and Sunday, and it was not until late on Sunday that all the deliveries were made. The weather early on Saturday was dark and threat- ening, but toward noon the sun came out and the day was ideal for business and a good day for moving plants. Easter Sunday, although cool, was clear. Easter weather conditions, on the whole, therefore, were fairly satis- factory. The sale of blooming plants was perhaps greater than ever, from the looks of some of the show houses of the uptown florists. The splendid weather for the week before Easter showed its effect on the cut flower market. The prices the wholesalers thought they would get, early in the week, fell flat and they had a hard time trying to move the large quantities of flowers that came Tonsetli Floral Co. 886 Morrison Street GROWERS AND RETAILERS Portland, Ore.

Carnations were so plentiful that the best brought only $2.50 per hun- dred on Sunday morning. IVom the looks of the stock, there was a lot of pickling done by some of the growers. This stock was left on the hands of the wholesalers. There was an abundance of roses to be had at any time, and great quantities of all seasonable bulb stock. Easter lilies were fine and in greater quantity than the trade could handle. Violets did not look so well, but the market had plenty at all tiriies. In summing up the reports from all in the trade, it can safely be said that this Easter was as good as any, and in the sale of plants it was probably bet- ter than most Easters. Various Notes. Many of the Easter window displays were of the highest type. Among the gorgeous sights along Grand avenue were the windows of Waldbart, Ayres, the Metropolitan, Windier, Bergster- mann and Beyer. On the north side, Bentzen, MuUanphy and Huettemann had a raft of excellent plants, and business was great with all of them.

Ian Seed Growers Co., San Jose, says crop never looked better at this sea- son. The Kimberlin Seed Co.. Santa Clara, says conditions are excellent. C. C. Morse & Co. report a total of nine inches of rain in the San Juan valley and the indications good. Waldo Eoh- nert, Gilroy, says the present rain is the best of the season and that he now expects a fair crop, although the rain came too late for a full one; his total precipitation for the season now is seven and one-half inches. LEONARD'S NEW FARM. The Leonard Seed Co., of Chicago, has just made a lease for a term of years on a tract of 500 acres of land lying southwest of Chicago on the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, about twelve miles from the Chicago warehouse. This farm will be used ex- clusively as a stock improvement and testing ground in connection with the experiment and trial grounds already maintained by the company at Colum- bus and Antigo, Wis. For the last six years the Leonard Seed Co. has done a great deal of experimental and special work on peas and beans, as well as other lines. In many cases stocks have been worked up from single seeds or pods. A specially trained force of men is used in this branch of the business and with the acquisition of this addi- tional 500 acres of land much will be added to the efficiency and scope of the work. LIMA GEOWEBS INVESTIGATED. The government is investigating the Lima Bean Growers' Association, of which J. M. Waterman is manager, with headquarters at Los Angeles, to see if it is a combination in restraint of trade. "The Lima Bean Association handles about forty per cent of the commercial Lima crop in its territory," stated Mr. Waterman. "Its competitors are the J. K. Armsby Co. and A. & H. Levy Co., the latter of Oxnard. " Charges were made, accordng to Mr. Waterman, by several small people, but he said, "I explained at Washington that we wanted either a clean bill or federal steps." Mr. Waterman stated that the Lima Bean Association handles about $2,500,000 worth of the product a sea- son. He admitted that when the asso- ciation was organized three years ago Lima beans were selling at 3 or 4 cents a pound; he said they now ranged from 514 to 5% cents and have reached 6 cents at times. "But despite this ap- parent rise in prices," Mr. Waterman continued, "Lima beans are still as cheap to the consumer. The organiza- tion simply has imposed the advance upon those coming between the grower and the consumer; retail prices are practically the same as three years ago." NEW YORK PURE SEED BILL. You would probably like to advise your readers through your columns that a New York seed bill, known as the Wilson Pure Seed Bill (No. 1455-1920, Int. 1265), introduced in the Assembly March 7, 1912: "An Act to amend the agricultural law in relation to inspec- tion and sale of seeds," has passed in the Assembly and Senate, and is now before the governor for his considera- tion.

BIin.I.IOA HIE.I., NBW JKB8BT SEEDS When their joads get worse the Chinese strengthen their carts. The idea of mending the roads never occurs to them. That's the way with some florists — when their stock is bad, they fail to get at the real source of the trouble. In lily bulbs a solid foundation must be laid, by securing only the very best quality obtainable. Horseshoe Brand bulbs will aver- age very high in quality — higher than any brand known. The rea- son is because they are planted down deep in the soil and care- fully cultivated — not merely stuck in the ground and mushroomed to size. And the prices are very reasonable for all that. Be- sides, you may have them (if or- dered in advance) f. o. b. Pacific Ports, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cin- cinnati, Memphis or New York. This is no small advantage, for freight is considerable in the ag- gregate. Besides Japan bulbs, the Horseshoe Brand Harrisii, packed by Stephens Brothers in Bermuda, are the height of perfection in Ber- muda lilies. None better on the Islands. Don't be mistaken about Harrisii either, for the crop is very much improved over the crop of former years. Prices very reason- able. As Easter is early in 1913, every grower should have at least a box of Harrisii. Send for the Book of Bulbology, containing prices. RALPH N.

MentioQ I'be Keview wnen you wnte. in which I would particularly call at- tention to the following passage, on page 2, line 13: "Containing in excess three per centum by count of foul and foreign seeds. ' ' My principal objection to the bill in its present form is the word "count," for which the word "weight" should be substituted, as the method provided in the bill has been found to be imprac- tical. The Department of Agriculture at Washington make all their tests by weight, and furthermore, all state seed analysts throughout the country recom- mend that such tests should be made by weight and not by count. As many seedsmen in New York state have their seeds tested by the depart- ment at Washington, all such tests would be useless under the proposed law, and dealers doing an interstate busi- ness would be seriously handicapped, as they would be obliged to make two tests, one by weight and one by count, because the results made by each test vary materially. I believe if the dealers throughout the state would file their protest with Governor Dix, writing him especially along these lines, he might be induced to withold his signature from the bill in its present form. Marshall H. Duryea, New York State Correspondent American Seed Trade Association. The full text of the bill is as follows: AN ACT To Amend the Apricultiirni Law, In Relation to Inspection and Sale of Seeds. The People of the State of New York, repre- sented In Senate and Assembly, do enact as fol- lows: Section 1. Article fifteen and sections three hundred and forty and three hundred and forty- one of chapter nine of the laws of nineteen hun- dred and nine, entitled "An act In relation to agriculture, constituting chapter one of the con- solidated laws," are hereby renumbered to be article sixteen and sections three hundred and sixty and three hundred and sixty-one, re- spectively. { 2. Such chapter Is hereby amended by adding thereto a new article, to be article fifteen thereof, to read as follows: ARTICLE 15. Inspection and Sale of Seeds. I 340. Inspection and sale of seeds. I 341. Samples, publication of results of ex- amination. i 340. Inspection and sale of seeds. Within the moaning of this article "agricultural seeds" are defined as the seeds of alfalfa, Canadian blue grass.

There is a great in- crease in the demand for good potted plants of all kinds. The outlook this year for bedding stock of all kinds is good; the demand will far exceed the supply of home- grown stock. Frank Paine has opened a store at 129 East Front street, which has proved a great convenience to those of his cus- tomers who were unable to visit the greenhouses. The new car belonging to the Queen City Floral Co. was given a tryout last week and proved a welcome facility during the rush. This firm's new green- house has also been a great advantage, but more houses will be needed in the' near future. j. t_ GLADIOLI Ten Bushels America Bulblets $8.00 per peck, $30.00 per bushel My gladioli are exceptionally fine this season and have kept through the winter in good condition.

Spokane, Wash. — An involuntary pe- tition in bankruptcy against the Inland Nursery and Floral Co., corner Nora avenue and Washington street, was filed March 22 in federal court by the Madison Lumber Mill Co., W. P. Fuller & Co., Fairbanks-Morse Co. and Hughes & Co., creditors. The petition alleges that the Inland Nursery and Floral Co. owes the Madison Lumber Mill Co. $466.50, W. P. Fuller & Co. $776.85 and Fairbanks-Morse Co. $971.73. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. At the date of this writing, it is not possible to give an exact report of the business done at Easter, but only a gen- eral idea of it. There was no scarcity of stock. The weather had been fa- vorable for some time previously and the demand for almost everything had been light, so that no one had been forced to cut closely. Lilies were abun- dant, both pot-grown and otherwise. The prices were in most cases a shade lower than they were one year ago. Shipping to interior towns seemed to be good. Carnations were plentiful also, and the same can be said of roses, with the possible exception of fancy stock. Violets are on the wane. Sweet peas are daily becoming more plentiful and of better quality. Valley is only in fair supply. Tulips of the later sorts sell well and daffodils are about over for the season. Fruit blossoms and all kinds of outside stock helped to make a big Easter showing. Various Notes. H. Hayashi & Co., of Elmhurst, will shortly commence the erection of one plant house, 25x200 feet. George L. Hutchins, general manager of the Portland rose festival, was re- cently in town. E. D. Fox, one of California's pioneer nurserymen, for many years located in San Jose, was recently in town for a short visit. Philip Murray, who represents C. C. Morse & Co. in the southwest, has been in town. Podesta & Baldocchi had a splendid showing at the funeral of the proprietor of the White House, San Francisco's largest dry goods store. E. W. McLellan & Co., at Burlingame, had a great quantity of fine stock on hand for the Easter trade. The cut of roses was particularly fine. The H. M. Sanborn Co., of Berkeley, has leased one-half of its Shattuck ave- nue store to a stationery firm. G. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. With order books full and plenty of good stock to use for Easter, the retail- ers had every reason to feel well satis- fied with themselves and conditions gen- erally. As anticipated some time ago, the supply of Easter lilies was ample and the quality was fine, both in pots and cut. In addition to local grown stock, a good deal was shipped in from the northern growers, while retailers had been holding over quite a number of cut lilies and these helped out. Tu- lips from outdoors have been exceed- ingly fine this year, the rains having been just in time to freshen them up and improve the quality of the flowers. Hyacinths are almost over and only the later varieties of narcissi are left, but these are extra good. Most of the other outdoor flowers are about the same as at last writing, but the roses from outside are much improved. In- door Beauties have been fine and the demand has kept up well. Orchids are scarce and of poor quality. Valley is good, but more care is necessary in ship- ping. Some of the cases opened at the wholesale houses show that no care has been taken to firm the flowers, the consequence being that they are bruised and many of the bells are found to be shaken off on arrival. A visit to the leading retailers on Monday, April 8, showed that the Easter business was by far the best ever experienced in Los Angeles. Sev- eral stores doubled their last year's orders and cleaned out entirely. There were never so many Easter lilies on this market before and practically every plant and cut spike was sold. There was an immense demand for roses, carnations, tulips and violets, and all other stock was cleaned up well. Easter baskets were much better than in for- mer years. There was more variety and better stock and, altogether, it was a clean, profitable Easter for everybody. At Mountain Beautiful. The members of the Pasadena Horti- cultural Society, their wives, sweet- hearts and children, to the number of about 125, were royally entertained at the Montebello nurseries of Howard & Smith, March 31. Anything in the way of an entertainment that the brothers Howard and George Smith have to do with is going to be done right, and this was no exception. The guests of the MONEY-MAKERS FOR YOU! Last week and the week previous you no doubt eaw our announcement of Mrs. Winters Dahlia and Clirysantliemum IMarguerite. In addi- tion to what was said in thesw announcements, we beg to add that they have proven tlie most profitable and useful for FLORISTS and FLORAL WORK. For four months during each of the past seven years the Mrs. Winters Dahlia has been the principal flower used in our floral work. A floral de- sign covered with these beautiful snow-white flowers requires very few other flowers and ferns to make it one of the prettiest and most showy floral pieces. It is the easiest flower to grow. Blooms continuously all smnmer until frost, and each flower resembles a Chrysanthemum. One hundred of these tubers will produce from 300 to 6C0 blooms per week if properly cared for. Mrs. Winters is a better keeper than the average Dahlia, and we frequently use them for floral work five days after being cut. IMrs. Winters Dalilia is one of the most free-blooming Dahlias known. We have constantly increased our stock from year to year, until now we have 15,000 of these tubers to offer to the trade. We have gathered from our plants flowers measuring over seven (7) inches in diameter. EXTRA LARGE TUBERS Per 100 $8.00 | Per 1000 $70.00 CHRYSANTHEMUM MARGUERITE PLANTS This new flower, as large as Asters and as white as driven snow, adver- tised by us in the two preceding issues of The Florists' Review, is proving a better money-maker each succeeding day. The price remains the same — $8.00 per 100, $70.00 per 1000. Ready for 4-in. pots. For other bargains, see our advertisements in issues of March 28 and April 4. CHAS. C. NAVLET CO., Inc.

CAL Mention The Review when you write. firm spent a pleasant and instructive morning looking over the novelties and stock at the nurseries, both inside and outside, and, being nearly all practical growers, were greatly interested in the many fine things shown. As may be ex- pected, the amaryllises, inside and out, formed the center of attraction and the gorgeous coloring, immense size and general excellence of the collection were freely commented on. At midday a sumptuous lunch was served in the large packing shed and, needless to say, everyone enjoyed the feast to the limit. Fred Howard has the happy faculty of making each guest feel almost as if the entertainment were prepared specially for him, and was unremitting in his care that all had a good time, which they undoubt- edly did. After lunch there was a little speech- making and a lot of merriment, and, as the whole crowd was together, a pho- tograph was taken, after which as many as possible piled onto the large Pack- ard truck and were driven over to the Dieterich & Turner plant, about half a mile away. After a brief look through the rose and plant houses here, all left for the depot or car line, hav- ing spent a most delightful day at "Mountain Beautiful." Various Notes. C. Winsel is busy planting nursery stock at his new place at Montebello, and it looks as though there will soon be another big establishment to visit when the picnickers come to the "Heisse Luft" tract. We also noted Henry Kuntz busy on a recent fine day. He says that pruning walnuts is dry work unless one is well prepared. J. W. Wolters opened his new store on Hill street April 1, and without a doubt he has scored an artistic suc- cess. The wall and ceiling decorations are of old-gold, a soft, subdued tint that has no suspicion of garishness. The Italian pottery work is extremely fine and the magnificent stock shown on the opening days gave a delightful fin- ish to the whole store. Large kentias and other plants were well grouped around and the windows were finely treated, one with rustic stonework and ferns, the other with fine stock of Easter lilies and tulips, I had only the merest look in, owing to lack of time, and hope to refer to this further.

At the rear end there are good electric elevators, and stock of all kinds will be taken in this way. Included in the Easter orders, up to April 3, were 2,600 pot lilies and they were still pouring in. Unlike many wholesale houses, this firm buys all of its stock outright from the growers, practically nothing being sold on commission.

The Los Angeles Horticultural Soci- ety is working hard to secure the posi- tion of horticultural commissioner for "William Woods, and at its meeting, held April 2, the committee appointed for the purpose of pushing his candi- dacy resolved to attend the meeting of the supervisors in a body and en- deavor to secure his election. Discus- sions on various tropical fruits by Er- nest Braunton, P. D. Barnhart and others were interesting and instructive. Fruits of the jujube were handed around for inspection. Walter Armacost, of Ocean Park, is sending elegant valley to this market. O. C. Saakes is handling fine Maman Cochet roses from outdoors. The H. N. Gage Co. reports the big- gest and best Easter business of its career. Choicest stock, handled care- fully, and precise attention to details of shipping and packing, have helped toward this most satisfactory state of affairs. J. J. Foote, representing the Lord & Burnham Co., New York, was in town this week. He has been engaged on the erection of the new range of orchid houses for Mr. Craven, at Pasadena. A new office is in course of construc- tion at the store of Thee Florists, on Fifth street. This will give additional room and more convenience in handling the largely increasing business here. A. J. Wing recently bought out E. Brett, at Jack's Flower Shop. The carnations at Borden's green- houses, at Hollywood, never looked finer than now and there was a magnificent cut for Easter. H. E. Richards. POBTI.AND, OBE. The Market. Easter business, so far as can be learned at this date, has been satisfac- tory. Stock was plentiful and popular prices prevailed. Carnations, roses and lilies seemed to be all that could be wished for. Lilies, ramblers, rhododen- drons, azaleas and hydrangeas were of unusually fine quality, with a goodly amount of bulbous stock to fill in. Ele- gant window effects were noticeable on all sides, basket arrangements being the special feature. Additional store room was necessary in several cases, where space was limited, especially to serve as delivery room. Various Notes. Max M.

The illustration herewith shows what is perhaps the most remarkable tree in the great southland. It is one of the recognized landmarks of Los Angeles, Cal., and a curiosity visited by hun- dreds of tourists and the trade annu- ally. It is growing at the city sales- yard of Howard & Smith, nurserymen, of Los Angeles and Montebello. This tree is Eucalyptus citriodora, the lemon- scented gum, the foliage of which is as fragrant as that of the lemon-scented verbena, Aloysia citriodora. It was planted seventeen years ago, by one of the members of the firm, and is now 130 feet high, so that it has made a growth averaging about eight feet per year; yet, with this great height, the diameter at the base is only eleven and three-quarters inches. The picture shows a steeple-jack climbing the tree to cut off a few straggling limbs. He doubtless chose a calm day for the operation, as the tree is so "whippy" that it sways as much as fifty-six feet from the up- A Famous Eucalyptus Citriodora. right. The first branches are 120 feet from the ground and an idea of what it looks like can be gathered from the fact that the crepe myrtle growing by the adjoining lath house is about twenty feet high.

So far as can be learned at this early date, everyone in the flower business had a good trade at Easter. Large stocks of all kinds of flowers were on hand. Some of the stores found it necessary to take additional premises in order to handle their trade. Eoses, car- nations and all classes of flowers were selling well and hopes were held out that the increase in business might con- tinue after Easter. Lilies were more numerous than usual and the quality rather better than in former years. Some department stores tried selling them at 20 cents a flower, but that did not seem to prevent legitimate florists from getting 25 cents for theirs. Most of the growers had early advance orders for all their stocks of lilies. Lilacs, deutzias and other forcing shrubs were plentiful and some fine rhododendrons were on sale, while the late azaleas were of first-class quality. Various Notes. H. B. Hanson will soon be cutting a fine crop of Ulrich Brunner roses in one of his houses. This rose takes the place of American Beauty here. The Seattle Pottery Co. recently en- larged its plant, putting in another ma- chine and a new engine, and is now said to have the largest capacity for manufacturing flower pots in the Pacific northwest, under the management of J. O. Hawkins, who for years superin- tended the Garden City Pottery, at San Jose, Cal. T. W. HOLLYWOOD, WASH. A Seattle newspaper recently devoted more than a page of its Sunday edition to an illustrated description of the greenhouses, the gardens and the model dairy farm conducted here by Mr. and Mrs. Fred S. Stimson. Mr. Stimson is referred to as "the holder of a great share of the bulging fortune won from one of the oldest and greatest of Seattle's industries, the Stimson lumber mills." On the farm, says the news- paper, Mr. Stimson has built a milk barn that looks big enough to serve as a railroad roundhouse — in reality 44x220 feet and thirty feet high — a feed barn 44x150 feet, a spacious calf barn and a power plant big enough to run a saw- mill, by which all the buildings can be served with light, heat, water and power to drive ^'aricus machines. The five fine greenhouses, comprising 50,000 square feet of glass, are used entirely for carnations and a large cut is daily sent to the market. The two specialties, therefore, are "cows and carnations." Mr. Stimson gives his at- tention to his fine breeds of cows, while Mrs. Stimson has charge of the carna- tions. Pasadena, Cal. — J. Glasscock, 130 East Colorado street, has sold out his business to W. H. Eldred, who has been connected with the store for some four or five months.

The Lima Nursery Co., of Lima, O., recently ordered the arrest of a former employee, L. S. Dome, on a charge of embezzlement. The nursery work is now at the height of the rush all through the north and east. In the south and the far west the season is pretty well over. It is reported that within a recent week the nurseries at Boskoop, Holland, shipped from Eotterdam 3,000 cases of stock for export to England and America. The Morris Nursery Co., Mt. Holly, N. J., has been incorporated, with a cap- ital of $50,000. The incorporators are G. Lear and George Achelis, West Chester, Pa., and Kitz Achelis, New York city. An increase in the capital stock of the Wooster Nursery Co., Wooster, 0., has been decided upon. The increase is from $10,000 to $50,000, of which $15,000 will be seven per cent preferred stock, the balance being common stock. H. E. HtTMiSTON, formerly with the Janesville Floral Co., at Janesville, Wis., is now at Eoswell, N. M., where he has taken charge of the de- velopment of the El Capitan Farm and Nursery, owned by Dr. V. B. Gregory, of Elkhorn, Wis. The intention is to make extensive plantings of ornamental stock for landscape work. The action of the John Heinlen Co. against T. J. Eraser for a dissolution of the copartnership between the parties in the Edenvale Nursery, of San Jose, Cal., was settled March 22, after having been before the court for more than a year in different forms. The copartner- ship has been dissolved by a decree of court, and the receivership has been terminated. The accounting is settled and there remains $3,286.76 in the hands of the receiver to be paid into court. HORTICUI.TT7BAI. IMPOSTS. The S. S.

Business was fully up to expectations and everybody was satisfied. There were flowering plants in abundance and they sold exceedingly well. Eoses, car- nations, violets, jonquils, tulips, hya- cinths, etc., were plentiful and were in big demand. Easter lilies were good and were all sold. Various Notes. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had an immense supply of plants of all kinds, also cut flowers, and did a record trade. Julius Niednagel & Sons were for- tunate in having good cuts of roses and carnations and a large stock of pot plants and were kept busy. Karl Zeidler used large quantities of roses and carnations and had a good supply of plants. He sold out of Easter lilies. Ben Kramer had a good stock of ev- erything and enjoyed a big trade. Louis Fritsch sold out of plants and cut a big lot of carnations, which sold well. Nellie Goodge was busy and had a big day. In fact, every nice Sunday is a good day for her. Eoyston & Fenton sold all the roses they had and could have used many more. E. L. F. BLACK HALL, CONN. James Barclay, of the Black Hall Greenhouses, says that his coal bills for the winter that has just closed were over $500 above those of any ordinary winter season. Mr. Barclay is market- ing in Philadelphia and New York a class of sweet peas of such excellence as to command almost double the usual prices. Harry Griswold, of New York, has leased the Luddington Greenhouses. Thos. L. Brown reports good sales of geraniums for Easter. Griswold Perkins has returned from New York, where he purchased lilies to help out his Easter business. GRAFTED ROSE PLANTS Choice stock from flowering wood.

Thursday, iViday and Saturday it was warm and the sun shone all day. Sunday it turned cooler and we had a little snow flurry, but not until the rush was over. This made de- livering a pleasure. It would be hard to say what plants were the most popular, as every good plant at a moderate price was in de- mand. Many costly plants were on sale in some of the stores, but the sale of these was limited. The local market conditions for Easter week were fine. Stock was some- what scarce the first part of the week, owing to dark weather, but came along nicely later on. All stock was of good quality and prices were most reason- able. Carnations were consigned in «normous quantities, but cleaned up nicely. Toward the end, lilies and roses became quite scarce and many more 3-lnch. 120.00 Richmond 2i2-lnch. 120.00 Maryland 2i2-lnch, 120.00 Radiance 213-inch, $14 . 00 120. 00 Mrs. Aaron Ward 213-inch, 14.00 120.00 Melody 213-Inch, 14.00 120.00 Antolne Rivoire, Mrs. Taft or Prince deBulgarie. 213-inch, 14.00 120.00 Sunburst 2is-lnch, 35.00 O^^n Root- Pink Killarney 213-Inch, 6.50 60.00 White Killarney 213-inch, 6.50 60.00 Maryland 213-inch, 6.50 60.00 Richmond 213-inch, 6.00 50.00 Antoine Rivoire, Mrs.Taft or Prince de Bulgarie, 213-inch, 8.00 70.00 Radiance 213-inch. 8.00 Melody 2is-inch, 8.00 70.00 Aaron Ward 213-inch, 8.0O 70.00 Double Pink Killarney 2ifl-inch. 8.00 70.00 Orders are now booked for April, May, June and July delivery.

There were loads of stock and almost everyone cleaned up in fine shape. While prices were not so high as usual, this was made up for in the quantity sold. Pot plants moved finely and it is estimated there were almost twice as many plants sold as here- tofore. Hundreds of people were seen on the streets carrying armloads of plants. Easter lilies sold finely and were about all cleaned up — and the sup- ply was much heavier than was expect- ed. Cut stock moved well and there was an enormous supply. Carnations were in heavy demand, as usual. Eoses were about equal to the call. There was a good demand for violets and they were about cleaned up. Sweet peas were in great request and, while there was a big supply on the market, there were not nearly enough to go the rounds. Valley sold well and was in good supply. The demand for Beauties was good and anything that looked like a red rose moved early. Taking it all around, everyone is well satisfied with the business done. Various Notes. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. reports a much heavier Easter than ever be- fore. The new window and balcony and double deck in the window gave them quite a good deal of extra space and made a good showing. Sam GrafiF got opened in his place in the Keith building and reported heavy business. He has made a ven- ture off of High street and everyone is keeping an eye on the outcome, as everything has been High street here- tofore. Sherman Stephens reports heavy business and he cleaned up well on everything. Metzmaier says he had the largest business in their history. Business with Graff Bros, was heavy and thev cleaned out a big lot of stock. Franklin Park Floral Co. reports heavv business. The Livingston Seed Co. had a big run on flowers and plants. J. M. Mount Vernon, C— J. A. Byrne, of Relay, Md., has been appointed B. & O. florist here, to succeed the late Peter Ott. Mr. Byrne has been division flo- rist in the east for many years.

Another Easter has passed into his- tory and another sales record has been established. Good stock and ideal weather up to Friday night were the prime factors in swelling sales to a new mark. It was essentially a "plant Easter," with everything in bloom sell- ing well. Lilies, as a rule, were hardly as good as in previous years, many of them being short. Some fine hydran- geas were seen, while azaleas averaged good. There was an abundance of Baby Ramblers, and a limited supply of Tausendschon roses proved the best sellers of all. Rhododendrons were fairly plentiful and in good de- mand. The usual amount of bulb- ous stock, primulas, spiraeas and the like, were in evidence and sold readily. In marked contrast to last year's de- mand, there was but little call for bas- kets. Chiffon was used freely in dress- ing up baskets and plants. In cut flowers violets were, as usual, in greatest demand. The local supply was inadequate to meet the demand and many thousands were shipped in from Milwaukee. Carnations and Beau- ties sold fairly well, but other roses went begging for a buyer. Various Notes. Miss O'Keefe had an overflow store on Fifth street, near her regular stand. T. B. Coumandros had an extra store opposite his permanent stand in the Golden Rule. Otto Hiersekorn has sold his store business on East Seventh street to Fred W. Topel.

The Eaater business was the best in years and local florists are well pleased; never before were there so many plants to be had and stock in general was good. With regular summer weather, there was no trouble in getting stock in on time; cool cellars and sheds were greatly in demand to hold stock that was too far advanced, as the thermom- eter registered 88 degrees Saturday, April 6. Wednesday, April 3, we had a severe rain and wind storm, which did an enormous amount of damage to the stock on the streets. Easter lilies were the most in de- mand and the supply was a little short, though more locai growers handled them than before. Carnations looked a trifle sleepy and were about equal to the demand. Good roses were in fair supply and cleaned up. Violets were bad; little good stock was to be had, but some good sweet peas were in evi- dence and met with a heavy demand. All kinds of bulbous stock were in heavy supply and moved slowly the first part of the week, but made up for it Saturday, as nearly everyone cleaned up at fairly good prices. There was nothing startling in the way of decorating, but all plants to be had were in the various churches. Green goods were about equal to the demand. In the way of blooming plants one could get almost anything wished for. Some good azaleas, lilacs and rhododendrons were seen and cleaned up nicely Easter, in spite of a heavy wind and rain storm which kept up all the afternoon and night. The florists all made excellent win- dow displays, which were commented on by everyone. The street men did a flourishing business and several opened stores for the Easter rush, selling violets for 15 and 20 cents per bunch and roses and carnations for 25 cents per dozen. Various Notes. Monday night, April 8, Wallace R. Pierson gave an address on "Roses" at the Gardeners' and Florists' Club. Jesse P. King, of Mt.

Greenhouse Heating. MORE FIPINQ NEEDED. How many runs of 1%-inch steam pipe would it take to heat a house 13x125 and twelve feet to the ridge, to 56 degrees, when the outside tem- perature is 20 degrees below zero? How many runs of l^/i-inch pipe will it take to heat a house 21x150 and fourteen feet to the ridge, to 60 degrees, with the same temperature outside? Will a 4-inch steam main take care o# 40,000 square feet of modern glass, or will it take care of more? I enclose a drawing which shows the piping as we intend to put it in. Will you be kind enough to make suggestions as to any changes that you think should be made? I am located in southeastern Wisconsin. H. C. The sketch shows the ground plan of a house twenty-one feet wide, to be heated to 60 degrees with l^/i-inch pipes, of which one is located under each of the gutters and two under each of the three benches. As near as can be determined from the plan, the ar- rangement of the pipes would be sat- isfactory, but, under the severe condi- tions mentioned, there should be a con- siderable increase in the amount of radiation, and four more lines, making twelve in all, will be required if the house is to be heated without crowd- ing the boiler. In case there is any glass in the walls, one additional pipe will be required for each two feet in height of the glass. The drawing ap- pears to show the coils fed from a 4-inch main, which is carried across the middle of the house, with 2-inch con- necting pipes leading to the coils on either side. This would be all right if the coils were not more than 100 feet long, but for a house 21x150 feet the connecting pipes should be 2%- inch. For the house 13 x 125 feet use six lil>-inch pipes, with one additional pipe /or each two and one-half feet of glass in the walls. While the foregoing plan will give good results, many would prefer to use one 2-inch overhead flow and five V/y- inch returns in the narrow house, and one 2V^-inch flow and ten 1 14-inch re- turns for the wide house. If the steam is carried in the mains at forty pounds of pressure, a 4-inch pipe will heat 40,000 square feet of glass to 56 de- grees, but a 5-inch main will be needed with low pressure and a 6-inch will be desirable if very long. AN L-SHAPED ADDITION. At present we have a range of four houses, running east and west. Begin- ning at the south side of the range, the houses are of the following dimensions: 25 X 116, 16 X 116, 20 x 100 and 22 x 100. The boiler house is at the west end of the 20-foot house.

The mains are arranged to take rare of a future addition of 40,000 sq. ft. of glass; 2 inch returns are used throughout ttie entire range and each 2-inch return line is con- trolled by 1-inch gate valve (strictly a Kroeschell feature), insuring perfect control. It is a gravity Job; the circulation is perfect, reaching the extreme ends of range in fifteen minutes. The Kroeschell Generator (tlie high speed gear for hot water boating) is also used for this system. ' ' Your No. 15 Kroeschell Boiler heats our entire range. We maintain a temperature of 60 degrees in our greenhouses, and this temperature is easily maintained even in the very coldest weather. Your boiler has given entire satisfaction. It is the best and quickest heater I have ever used or seen. T have found the boiler very economical in the use of fuel and labor, as it is not necessary to use the best coal, and any labor will do for a fire- man. The Kroeschell Piping System with Generator works like a charm. When I want to sulphur, I can heat the water up to 230 to 240 degrees and I get the same results as from steam. Seeing is believing — all growers are invited to call. Any further information concerning boiler and piping sys- tem will be gladly given.

April 11, 1912. build an additional house, which would run aouth from the boiler house, across the ends of two of the present houses, and then east alongside the present south house. The addition would thus be L-shaped; it would be forty-one feet long from north to south and 141 feet long from east to west, and would be twenty-five feet wide all the way. From this description you will understand the crooked way in which the heating pipes would have to run. The new house will have 5-foot walls, with eighteen inches of glass in the south and west sides, and will be about ten feet high to the ridge. Now, what I want to know is whether the new house can be successfully heated to 50 degrees with hot water, here in northern Missouri. If so, what is the best plan for doing itf Which, in your opinion, would be better, hot water or steam? The houses will all be used for lettuce. If steam would be better, give plans for that also. What size of boiler would be required for water; also for steam? What size and height of smokestack will be required for two boilers, each having an 18-inch smoke outlet? B. A. B. There should be no difficulty in heat- ing the new houses with hot water. It is suggested that three 2i/^-inch flow pipes be used. They should run from the boiler south and then east to the farther end. One flow can be under the ridge and the others on the plates. There should be nine 2-inch returns, of which three should be connected with each pf the flow pipes. If steam is preferred, use one 2^-inch flow under the ridge and eight li^-inch returns, of which two or three should be on each wall and the others under the benches. For small ranges, where one does not have a night fireman, it is easier to maintain an even temperature with hot water than with steam and it will be found more economical of fuel, al- though, as only about one-half as much radiation will be required, the cost of installing a steam plant will he less than for hot water. A steam boiler should be rated for about 1,000 square feet of radiation, or fifteen liorse-power, and a hot water boiler for 2,000 square feet of radiation. Tlie chimney should be two feet in diameter and at least forty feet high. Springfield, Mass.— f. n.

The Market. / Cold, cloudy weather the first half of Easter week put a damper on early Easter trade. However, the rush began April 4, when the temperature mod- erated considerably and the last half of the week was perfect spring weather. There was a great abundance of every- thing. Easter lilies were not entirely open, but sold all the better for it. They were also easier to pack because of the backward condition. All sorts of flowers and plants sold well, espe- cially fancy plant baskets of all sizes, which brought good prices. Boses of all kinds are good. Carna- tions are in fine condition. Violets are only fair. Pansies were in great de- mand this year and went for a fancy figure. Valley is splendid and sells well, but there is not enough to supply the demand. A great deal of funeral work was done during Easter week, which gave us a fine opportunity to work up some of the surplus stock that was less salable otherwise. White lilacs were somewhat scarce, but flowering deutzias filled the void nicely. There was a fine lot of ram- blers, but the crimson were the finest. Various Notes. The Easter display at the Lamberton conservatory was a most attractive one and was viewed by many of our flower loving citizens. John Dunbar is in- tensely interested in making these ex- hibits popular. J. B. Keller Sons are growing some good Mrs. F. Sander daisies, but the stems are short. Some splendid orchids are being shown at Mrs. Kimball's conservatories where Colin Ogston is gardener. The Rochester Floral Co. had a good sized annex on Main street for the Easter trade and reports big business. "Duckie" Holmes, "Arch" Mason and "Billie" Dunbar augmented J. B. Keller Sons' force again this year. H. E. Wilson had his new auto de- livery for the Easter rush. It is painted bright yellow and is quite conspicuous wherever it goes. Charles Sharpe is in town again. E. C. A. F. W. Vick states that the item ap- pearing in this column last week was incorrect, that he was the founder of Vick & Hill Co. , and has not with- drawn from the concern, but is still its president and general manager, and furthermore has no intention of with- drawing.

The Market. Easter trade was all that could be desired; most of the florists report that it was even better than last Easter. Plants were in the greatest demand. Bulb stock was plentiful, both cut and pot plants, and cut flowers sold well. Violets were in great demand and there were not enough to go around, the re- cent warm spell having a bad effect on the indoor plants. Various Notes. R. H. Woodhouse had an elegant dis- play of bulb stoci\, both cut and in pans. lie had a big batch of lilies and also an enormous lot of violets, which found a ready sale. lie had one of the largest and finest displays in this vicinity. Wm. P. Peirce, on Union street, re- ports a grand Easter trade, better than last year. His stock was about all cleaned out. E. H. Chamberlain had his store crammed full of beautiful plants. Not much was left by Sunday. He had a big order of funeral work also, which kept the force busy. Wm. H. Davenport had a handsome displaj- of plants, artistically arranged, and fine lots of cut flowers. R. E. Nofftz had his small store taxed 1o its limit with its load of pretty flowers and plants. Julius Rusitzky, of the Flower Mart, reports a tremendous business. This is his first Easter and he has also opened a new flower store. He called on all hands for stock. He had a big run of funeral work also. Peter Murray had a l)ig display of Easter plants, which he disposed of at wholesale. W. L. / RESERVOIR VASES For Cemeteries, Parks and Lawns.

Tlie Good and Bad In It. Much is heard these days of conven- tional and conventionalized designing. Just what is meant by these terms, and are they correctly used or misap- plied with reference to floral design- ing? In the commonest use of the word the meaning is the usually accepted, es- tablished, traditional, from which we get the idea of set and formal. In this sense our floral designs made upon frames are to be classed as conven- tional. Besides, any one style by which one or all of these' are executed is to be classed as conventionalized. It is not the purpose of this article to discuss at length whether conven- tional work is of the highest grade, for that is scarcely practical, since it is upon us. But the purpose is to discuss and, if possible, to discover, that type of conventional wor^ which may be termed classic or representative, with a view to the elimination of the inferior. However, whether any product of the present era shall attain to a classic must he determined mainly by the future, but it may be our privilege to crystal- lize the best yet produced and bring it into general use. The So-Oalled Loose Style. It looks as if the best thought of the period were turning away from the present conventionalized style of design work. The more advanced designers are insisting upon clear outlines, more dis- tinct color plan and better finished work, and it will probably follow that those whose ambition does not lead them in that direction will be driven to some better efforts by an enlightened public opinion. Make what you make. If a style which obscures the distinctness of form of the design attempted had any artistic merit of itself, if it were adding any grace, daintiness or fine lines to the form of the piece instead of increasing its heaviness, all kinds of apologies for its continued use might be offered. "Well, it is loose," a chorus of some- bodies is ready to suggest. Yes, it is loose; so is a half -shed snake-skin. As to the additional size it gives to a piece, that is fast getting to be a nuisance at funerals. The number of designs and their exaggerated size are pleas for smaller and choicer pieces. There is danger that if a campaign of education is not soon started by salesmen toward this end, the reaction will be toward no flowers at all for funerals. The Solid Style. Another conventional style, which preceded the loose one and is still hold- ing its own with the best designers, is the solid style. But it still keeps its hold in the formal design only, its le- gitimate place, being ousted from the basket, the hand bouquet and the cen- terpiece. It is the most fetching style of legitimate design that has gained favor. It is practical, speedy and mod- erate. It is true that it takes more flowers. But use a smaller frame and talk quality to the customer. It takes more flowers t^or construction, but few for decorating. Sometimes no more than a group of ferns, a bunch of violets or a dozen roses will be needed. A caution right here is in order. Do not use this style on small designs, or you will have meal sacks in place of floral designs. Small designs do not pay, anyhow, unless you use the foliage background construction. With a Foliage Background. This third style — the style with a fo- liage background — has a reasonable and natural right to a long existence. Make the outline and body of the design of foliage, either the kind which belongs to the flowers to be used for the orna- mental part or another foliage which harmonizes therewith. Then use a more elaborate and pretentious trim. Talk about price! Here is where you gold or silver cord. Choose a flower of brilliant or decided color. A Few Examples. Here are a few examples of what such combinations might produce: A broken column of Rex begonia; leaves overlaid with a drape of silver net; dot the drape with small pink roses; let it hang loosely from the break to the base; catch in place at the base with a group of long-stemmed pink roses. A harp of variegated green and white coleus; strings gilded; a large cluster of yellow roses and marguerites on the front base. A wreath of alternantheras with En- chantress carnations and mignonette; use rather long sprays of alternantheras and lay them on top and sides alike, till frame and moss are covered; wrap with gold cord to keep the sprays in place; make a light spray of the carna- tions and lay it on the side of the wreath, securing it in place with fern pins; leave the stems where they are, and firing a few twists of the gold cord across them and tie. One's Own Ideas. A designer with ideas of his own will conventionalize some one specially pleas- ing and graceful form among a num- ber of its variations, as an Irish harp, an oriental harp, a .true anchor or a casket cross. A fine example of the last mentioned design, made by Chas. A. Samuelson, Chicago, was illus- trated in The Review of February 29, page 13. A Comer in the New Store of W. L. Rock Flower G). can make good with the "size" cus- tomer, who refuses to be comforted with quality. Make use of noticeable foliage, such as Rex begonia, coleus, vinca, colored geranium, croton, maple. Tricolor amaranthus, farfugium, Cen- taurea gymnocarpa, alternanthera, au- tumn leaves, etc. Some of them are soft, to be sure, but stem after a good soak and, if necessary, spray afterward. If difficulty occurs in keeping them in place, overlap. Emphasize the color, if it seems a little dull, with a drape of gold, silver or bronze net or a tie of Any design which represents an ob- ject should be treated in the way which shall best develop its shape and outline. Besides the designs already mentioned, there may be included in this class such designs as the following: Lodge and society emblems, globe, crescent, scroll, wheel, bell, urn, book, crown, clock, sickle, heart, pillow, star, ladder. Other phases of conventional design- ing— its adaptability to decorating and the combination of the conventional and strictly natural — will be treated in la- ter articles. G.

The business grew until the store occupied was one of the largest in the west, and until a range of greenhouses became a neces- sity. With these facilities Mr. Eock, and the associates with whose abilities he had supplemented his personal ef- that is worth putting on. Formerly at a rush time it was possible to trim pots several days ahead and, with care in watering^ the paper would be in perfect condition to go out. Now the moisture from the pot soaks through in a few hours, making it nec- essary to retrim. The dealers all meet you with the same reply, that "it is so much cheaper now. ' ' This is true, but it proves with us to be the most Cashier's Quarters in the New Rock Store. fort, were content for a time, but changing conditions caused them to embark, a few month ago, upon the fit- ting up, in a new locality, of as fine a store as experience and money could provide. This store now is open, at 1106 Grand jayenue, though the old store at 1116 Walnut street will be con- tinued. The new store largely was designed by Mr. Eock and is in the monumental style of architecture. The interior is finished in ivory white, and the walls, in so far as they are not occupied by display cases, are lined with plate mirrors. The indirect light- ing system has been installed. As in all modern flower stores, counters are omitted, salesman and customer meet- ing on an even footing. The offices are above the workroom at the rear and are reached from the store by an orna- mental stairway. The accompanying illustrations show the store as it was dressed for its opening on the Monday preceding Easter. During the three days of the opening more than 15,000 guests in- spected the establishment, and it is said that the Easter business increased forty per cent. The illustrations will be of interest as showing the latest developments in flower store arrange- ment and decoration. A BETAILEB'S LAMENT. It seems to us that it is about time some of us started an agitation relative to the quality of the water- proof (f) crepe paper being furnished the trade these days. Might it not be a good idea to get the opinion of other florists through your columns f It is impossible to buy a paper now expensive economy that has been forced upon us in years. Perhaps if we all get together in one big kick it may help. Are you willing to start the ball rolling? Your paper could do much. Westman & Getz. GIFTS TO CUSTOMEBS. Some few weeks ago I read the ac- count of The Newburys, of South Da- kota, who, by the way, visited us at"^ the convention during the world's fair here, making a practice of sharing the surplus flowers with their customers. I wish to say that this has always been our custom. Seldom, indeed, does a customer come here to give us an order, or to pay a bill, or to make a friendly call, that we do not present him with some flowers, except when there is a great scarcity, be it a child or a grown person; and when we make a bouquet or put up a box we put in a couple of carnations extra, which to my mind is far better than having a job lot sale. We always ask a fair price, so as to be just to our custom- ers and ourselves^ I often think it is a pity that our/ business, that is so full of sentimenj^ should be by a great many reduced to the level of the rag- man, the stock Ao be sold for what you can get for it./ F. J. Fillmore. TEMPEBATU^E FOB LOBBAINES. I have a range of four houses, in- cluding a palm house Sjfith a night tem- perature of 60 to 65 degrees, a rose house with a night temperature of 58 to 60 degrees, a carnation house with a night temperature of 52 to 55 de- grees and a cool house with a night temperature of 50 to 52 degrees. In which house can I grow Lorraine be- gonias most successfully? I have tried to grow them from leaf cuttings dur- ing the last two years and have failed. I rooted the cuttings in January. They decay little by little, as do the plants. J. J. O. The Lorraine begonia cuttings would root best in your rose house tempera- ture, provided a suitable cutting bench is provided. Until they start to flower they like a house with a similar tem- perature. Later they will do admirably with carnations. In summer they like some shade, but it should never be heavy. After November, give them the full sun. Perhaps you are not using a suitable compost for your be- gonias. They thrive best in a soil containing one-half flaky leaf-mold, Entrance to Offices in the New Store of "W. L. Rock Co. April 18, 1912.

Do not use a heavy loam, or they will do poorly in it. C. W. AZALEAS AFTER BLOOMING. Will you please tell in The Eeview the way to take care of azaleas after they are done blooming, and do they pinch them in any way? E. L. Eemove all flowers and seed pods. Cut back or tie into shape any runaway shoots. No pinching should be re- quired. You can either carry the plants over summer in pots, which should be plunged to their brims in a bed of soil or cinders, the latter being prefer- able, or plant them out in good soil where you can give them frequent hos- ings over during the growing season. Lift and repot them the first week in October. "When planted out, the plants appreciate vigorous swingings over- head during the early Jifternoon on hot days, as do all other hard-wooded plants under similar conditions. C. W. AGATH^SA CCELESTIS. Can you tell us how to handle Agathaea coelestis and what it is used for? This information will be greatly appreciated by us. Ours are rooted cuttings. L. B. Agathaea coelestis, also called Felicia coelestis, and commonly known as the blue daisy or blue marguerite, is a use- ful winter flowering plant for pot cul- ture on account of its color, which is of a pleasing shade of blue. For win- ter flowering, take cuttings now and grow them on through the summer in pots, which should be plunged to their brims in a coldframe or bed of ashes and kept well watered and pinched. It is better to grow them a little warmer than the white and yellow marguerites; 50 degrees at night is to their liking. Of late years this old plant has ap- peared in limited numbers in the flower stores and appears to sell well. While it is not much of a success here as a bedding plant, it is quite ^atisfactory in Great Britain, where it flowers free- ly all summer. C. W. THE DOESETT VIOLET. C. A. Classon, foreman for the Archias Floral Co., Sedalia, Mo., writes under date of April 9: "Tn regard to the single violet. Dor- sett, I wish to state as follows: We bought 500 plants during the month of September, 1911. Two hundred fifty' were from 214-inch pots and the rest from 2-inch pots. We planted some in a coldframe, lifted them after a few good freezings and housed them on a solid bed in old soil after the mums. They began to flower slowly around Christmas and have increas^^ in flow- ering capacity ever since and are still doing well in spite of hot weather. Two hundred fifty of the smaller plants we planted directly in a carnation house, in a rather dark part of the house, and they toolv hold of the soil rather quick- ly and gave us a lot of flowers with short stems throughout the fall and win- ter, with increasing length of stems, and always with a bright, deep blue color. As a whole I consider the Dor- sett violet to be a good commercial flower and easy to grow in a higher temperature than other violets I know off." BEST D0UBL3 VIOLET. I shall grow .3,000 double violet"^ next winter and shall appreciate any infor- mation in reference to the best'variety to grow. I have been thinking of growing the Campbell variety. I should also like to ask whether the doubles require any different culture from the singles. T always let my single vio- lets have a few degrees of frost in the fall, to check the leaf growth, but, if I understand properly, the doubles will not do so well if treated in this manner. My location is northern Wy- oming. L. M. B. So far as color goes, the old Marie Louise is still the finest double violet where it can be grown well. Unfor- tunately, it is more subject to spot on 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Apbil 18, 1012. the foliage than any other variety. Lady Hume Campbell, while not immune from disease by any means, is much the most reliable sort grown today and will please you better than any other you could grow. Double violets want quite different treatment from singles. They should not be left out and ex- posed to any frost, but are better housed early in September. While sin- gles do best in a winter night tempera- ture of as near 40 degrees as possible, doubles should have 5 degrees more •heat. They flower longer than the doubles; it should be possible for you to pick until well into May. After the middle of March the night tempera- ture can be dropped 5 degrees. Abun- dant ventilation, and, if warm, some shading on the glass, will help to keep the houses cooler and help the flowers to hold their color. C. W. SEASONABLE NOTES. Pmaing Hardy Boses. "With the removal of the winter pro- tection some idea can be formed of the effects of the severe winter on roses. Even the hardiest of the hybrid per- petual class are killed back quite low, but where a close covering of mother earth has been drawn about the plants, sufficient green, plump wood will be left to prune back. Don't be in a hurry about doing the pruning, for even in April we get some frosts of sufficient severity to seriously cripple the young shoots on the eafiy pruned plants. The hybrid perpetuals, such as Frau Karl Druschki, Brunner, Mrs. John Laing, Mrs. Sharman Crawford, Reynolds Hole, General Jacqueminot, Magna Charta and others, give the strongest shoots and finest flowers if pruned back hard. Leave not over three or four eyes on the strongest shoots, and one or two on more moderate ones. Cut out all weak and dead wood entirely. You can prune more lightly and secure a slightly earlier crop of flowers on shorter stems, but when it comes timo for winter protection th^ disadvantages of this system present themselves, as it is necessary to raise the protection much higher than is needed where hard pruning is resorted to. The hybrid teas are not, as a rule, either so hardy or so vigorous in con- stitution as the hybrid perpetuals, and merely the dead wood and the ends of the remaining shoots should be re- moved, Gruss an Teplitz is perhaps the hardiest of this type of roses and surely none of them give a larger and more satisfactory return than this splendid scarlet variety. The teas want similar pruning to the hybrid teas. They are, with a few noted exceptions, less desirable than the hybrid tea class for bedding, but some varieties grow and flower beau- tifully near the seaeoast; inland they are more or less failures. The ramblers have in some cases killed back a little more than usual, but all the wood which was hard and well ripened is perfectly fresh. The young canes which started from the ground are what we should take care of, as these will produce the finest trusses of flowers. Older wood should be cut clean out and if growers only had the courage to do this each season after the flowering period is over they would get much stronger canes from the base. Rambler roses do not want hard pruning. The stronger shoots should be left practically their full length, merely taking off the ends, which are usually dead or dying. Weak wood should be cut out clean. In order to get rambler canes to break more freely, it is a good plan to bend them over. After pruning is completed give the soil about all hardy roses a good loos- ening. If you gave them a mulch of cow manure last fall they will not want any further feeding now, but if you did not provide them with any food in the autumn a top-dressing of fine bone, dried blood or sheep manure beforo stirring up the ground will be benefi- cial, for, be it remembered, hardy roses are strong feeders. Wanting Hardy Boses. While late autumn is a good time to plant roses, particularly the H. P. sec- tioQT, except in the coldest states, it is in spring when nearly all this planting is done. Autumn planted stock, well protected, will winter well and start to grow much better than such as are set out in the spring, but as the latter sea- son is now with us, it behooves all prospective planters to lose not a day in securing and planting their roses. Own root roses do jvell in the warmer states, but for the colder states budded or grafted stock which has been grown in the open continually is far the best. Grafted plants are much more vigorous and possess greater longevity than own root stock. Be sure to have all roots well moistened at planting time, cover- ing the grafts two to three inches, and press the soil firmly about the roots. The only difficulty with grafted roses is that they must be looked over occa- sionally and the Manetti or seedling briar suckers removed as they appear; otherwise they will soon cripple the roses, but every bright florist and gar- dener knows, or should know, the dif- ference between the stock and the rose. In planting the hybrid teas it is well to remember that they will succeed particularly well on light ground of quite a sandy nature, provided they are well fed and supplied with water. BAMBLEBS FOB EASTEB. 4 While Easter was quite early this year, it is much earlier in 1913, coming March 23. This means that some hard forcing will be necessary in order to flower many plants, roses included, on time. The ramblers pot grown through the summer are what is needed for an early Easter, and now is the time to purchase and pot up the plants; that is, unless you are growing your own plants. Give them a fairly heavy and rich soil and firm them well in the pots, which can be 6-inch to 8-inch, accord- ing to the size of the plants. Cut them down fairly close to the ground after potting; then place them in a bright house, well ventilated, and not kept over 50 to 52 degrees at night. Tie the young shoots up as they appear.

Keep the newly potted stock under glass until the middle or ond of June, giving them a light, sunny Louse where they will not be exposed to cold drafts, which would mean mil- dew on the young shoots. Of course you can place and grow these same roses outdoors from the start, but you will not get the same clean, vigorous growth on them as when kept under glass, nor will the wood be ripened so early, something necessary on plants which are to be forced early. Tausendschon continues to be popu- lar among ramblers. It is well adapted to early forcing, as it will flower fully two weeks earlier than any of the other ramblers. Crimson Rambler is far less popular now than the pink varie- ties, but the single scarlet Hiawatha takes well, while Lady Gay and Dor- othy Perkins each have their admirers. American Pillar, with its large, single, pink flowers, is proving a winner, and the new Juniata is also proving popu- lar. Among the so-called baby rambler class, Catharine Seimeth, pure white, is fine for Easter. Mrs. Cutbush, Phyl- lis, Baby Dorothy and the original Mme. Levavasseur are all good, and Avhere dwarf plants are wanted, should be grown in quantity. They come into flower much earlier than the tall ram- blers and need no stakes. Try some of these various ramblers pot grown and prove for yourself how much, better they are for early forcing than plants dug up and potted in the fall. SWEET PEAS (Xtf OLD SOIL. I am sending you a sample of sweet peas. I always read with interest the articles in The Review about sweet peas and how they are grown. The peas I am sending you were grown in a solid bed, in soil which has been in the greenhouse for three winters and has been used all the time. The first year we grew two crops of lettuce, and then tomatoes; the second year we grew two crops of Ifettuce and then stood pots of geraniums on the soil hntil Decora- tion day. Our sweet peas have been in bloom since the third week in Jan- uary. We have not done any feeding or mulching except on one day. That was March 16, when they had a light dose of liquid manure. S. E. L. Your sweet peas arrived in good con- dition and are certainly of as ^ne quality as can be seen anywhere. Stems fifteen to eighteen inches long are excellent and show that you under- stand how to grow sweet peas under glass. You will find that if you run sweet peas and follow them with to- matoes in solid beds, you can use the same beds year after year for these same crops without either showing any signs of deterioration, provided you manure liberally. Fine as your stems are, they will now be improved by more feeding, either in the form of liquid manure or top-dressings. C. W. TWO BLOOMFIELD RANGES. At Bloomfield, N. J., the establish- ments of Jacob Hauck and J. J. Bro- zat stand side by side, as shown in the illustration on page 12, which is re- produced from a photograph made by Fred Lautenschlager. Both gentlemen are members of the Growers ' Cut Flower Co., New York. Mr. Hauck, whose range is at the right, has 36,000 square feet of glass, and Mr. Brozat 28,000 square feet. Both heat with hot water, using Kroeschell boilers. LABQE MABOXJERITES. J. B. Knight, Willoughby, 0., sends a photograph of two large marguerites, the variety being Queen Alexandra, with the accompanying note: "I am sending herewith a picture of two mar- guerites grown by me this season. They are only a year old and measure fully six feet across. They are full of buds and blooms, unusually low and symmetrical in shape, being much the largest plants I have yet seen." WALLS OF CONCRETE BLOCKS. Will some reader of The Review please give his experience with concrete blocks used in greenhouse walls? Does the frost come through and freeze the plants next to the concrete wall, in a temperature of 40 or 45 degrees at night? Any information regarding this will be greatly appreciated. My loca- tion is southern Michigan. J. G. Though hollow blocks, even when carefully laid, will convey the heat to some extent, yet there will be no great difficulty in keeping the frost out of the house, if heating pipes are placed upon the walls and if the beds or benches are so arranged that there is an uninterrupted circulation of air be- tween the bed and the wall. When the weather outside is zero or below, there will be no great danger of frosting tender plants if none of the leaves are within four or five inches of the wall, unless the temperature inside the house drops below 45 degrees.

March, April and May are the best months. During winter they do not start well, and dur- ing the hot summer months the per- centage of germinations is much less than in spring. The prevailing idea that it is difficult to raise orchids from seeds has been long ago exploded. Of course, they cannot be raised in the ifame easy manner as asters, salvias and stocks, or even begonias and gloxinias. The raising of seedling orchids in Europe has now become a tremendous industry and the leading orchid firms there carry in stock far more hybrids than forest-collected plants. Dozens of houses are devoted to seedling rais- ing, and the seedling plants are offered for sale in large numbers before flower- ing, the • parentage, of course, being given. The need of raising seedlings is becoming each year more apparent, as the forest supplies of orchids are by no means inexhaustible, and in the case of the popular Cattleya labiata, unless new localities are discovered where it is to be found in abundance, a few years will probably see it practically prohibi- tive in price. Merits of Home-Raised Hybrids. There is one good feature about or- chids raised from seed at home; they have greater vigor than the collected plants, provided, of course, that care is t%ken in selecting vigorous seed-produc- ing parents, which also are floriferous. Again, the home-raised hybrids in many cases make two growths and produce two crops of flowers a year, and do not need any resting period, as the forest plants do. Of course, this resting period, even in the case of collected plants, is liable to be overdone, and some growers are coming to the conclu- sion that under artificial "cultivation there is not so much need to rest the plants as had been popularly supposed. Then, again, many of these hybrids give us flowers when we would other- wise be without them (I am referring now more particularly to cattleyas), and they help in great measure to make it possible to cut flowers every day in the year. Crossing Good Varieties. The average time required to ripen orchid seeds is a year. I have had cattleyas ripen in eleven months and sometimes it has taken fourteen or fif- teen months, but a year is a fair aver- age. Cypripediums do not take so long and selenipediums require only one- fourth the time of cattlevas and lajlias. Anyone intending to do orchid hy- bridizing, particularly if he wants plants which will be of value commer- cially, should select the best types of existing species. For instance, take a fine form of Cattleya Trianse, labiata or Schroederse, and either cross it with its own pollen or use pollen from some other plant which is extra fine and which may improve the color, lengthen the stem or add beauty to the general outlines of the flowers. A point to be remembered is that usually the seed- lings approximate the seed-producing parent in growth and habit, but are more likely to have flowers resembling the pollen parent. It would seem to be a good business venture to raise Cattleya labiata in quantity from seed, as the prospect is that prices will soon be double what they are today, and buyers would be willing, or should be willing, to pay better prices for vigorous home-raised seedlings than for dried up forest plants, provided, of course, that they could have a reasonable assurance that they were buying a good type. I have referred especially to cattleyas so far, as they are the predominant orchids in America, just as the more beautiful, if less gaudy, odontoglossums are in Europe, but such cypripediums as in- signe, Sanderee, and others which might be named, carrying big, bold dorsal sepals and of pleasing colors, would be in great demand were they procurable in quantity. Sowing the Seed. Orchid seed is fine and dustlike. It is estimated that a cattleya pod will contain a quarter of a million or more seeds. As soon as ripened and shaken out, they should be sown, but I have kept seeds for six months and had them grow well, and there are also on the market special pollen tubes which will keep pollen fresh for fertilizing pur- poses for from nine to twelve months, so we can always be sure of having suitable pollen without having to re- move it from the flowers when to be used. A common plan is to scatter or- chid seeds on the tops of pots contain- ing growing plants, if the soil is not mossy or scummy on the surface, and sometimes a fair germination may be secured in this way. I have seen quan- tities of young cattleya and cypripe- dium seedlings start on the sides of the pots in some cases. The best method, however, is to have a case with a hinged cover, which can be tilted or thrown back at will. Make Louis J. Reuter, at Seen by a Westerly Newspaper Cartoonist. APBIL 18, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 15 a light framework of slats inside the case and let the supporting legs of this stand in saucers of water, to provide needed moisture and at the same time l^eep snails, etc., from crawling up about the seed pots or pans. This framework should bring the pots mod- erately near the light. Pots or pans four to five inches in diameter are bet- ter than larger ones. Fill them with a mixture of chopped sphagnum and os- munda fiber. Over this lay a small square of burlap or coarse Turkish towel. Tuck this closely around the sides of the pots, so as to leave a smooth, firm surface. Moisten this with a fine sprayer and then scatter the seed evenly over it. Keep the case moderately close for the first few days, )iut a crack of air should be given each day. Do not allow the pot surfaces to become in the least dry, but use a fine, misty sprayer to moisten them. A sheet of paper should be kept over the glass to exclude all sunlight. Potting the Seedlings. Seed sown in spring will germinate sometimes within a month. Most of the cattleyas, laelias and cypripediums will start within three or four months, but occasionally it takes a whole year, so it is not well to be of too nervous a temperament when raising orchid s edlings. The house where seedlings are raised should have a night tempera- ture of 65 to 70 degrees, and it is im- portant that no sunshine or rushes of air should strike the seeded pots. Just as soon as the seedlings can be made out, they should be carefully pricked off with a sharp-pointed stick. It is a good plan to use a lens to assist in this work. If they are placed in thimble- sized pots, each of these will easily hold ten or twelve seedlings. If thimble pots are not obtainable, use thumb pots. The compost of fern fiber and fresh sphagnum should be chopped quite finely. After potting, place the small pots in a case. Elevate them on inverted pots, which should stand in saucers of water to ward off the attacks of snails and various larvae. Keep them quite close for a time. Spray freely and, as they start to grow, gradually accustom them to more air and light. As growth advances the little seedlings can be placed, singly, in thimble pots and later in thumb pots, or they can be placed in fewer numbers in small pots or pans until potted off singly. "When once they get into single pots they make vapid growth, and there is usually little trouble with them beyond the care given to the ordinary cattleyas. Pot- ting may be done whenever the plants need it, whether in midsummer or mid- winter, instead of waiting until spring, as is too often done. Waiting for Returns. Where a quantity of seed is to be sown and sufficient cases permit its use, burlap or coarse bath towel stretched across the insides of the cases so as to present a firm surface will make an ex- cellent medium on which to sow orchid seeds, and I have had these almost green with cattleya seedlings. Care must be taken to remove seedlings from pots or pans in which fungus is spread- ing, or it will soon overcome and de- stroy all the little plants. Careful air- ing and watering will obviate this trouble in large measure. The question is often asked, "How long will it take orchids to flower from Gittleya Trianae at W. 'W. Horlacher^s, Daytoa, Ohio. seed?" Much depends on the nature of the cross. Usually five to seven years are required, but I have bloomed some within three years, first-class crosses too. In certain cases, again, it may take eight or ten years to flower them, but five years would be a fair average. Seedlings produce such an abundance of growths, some bulbs breaking treble and large numbers double, that it is necessary to cut out some of these in order to induce earlier flowering, Eaising orchids from seed is a pleas- ant pastime. Commercially, it has proved profitable in Europe, and there is no good reason why it should not be considerably extended here. The long waiting for returns may discourage the majority, but he who makes a judicious selection of crosses, choosing varieties which he knows will meet with a de- mand in the local market, will make a good interest on his investment, and there is always the likelihood that some seedlings will produce flowers of such outstanding merit that they will com- mand fancy prices from wealthy ama- teur connoisseurs. W. N. Craig. PHAKffJNOPSIS. The magnificent warm house orchids, the phalsenopsis, make a glorious dis- play at this season, and if they could only be grown with as much ease as cattleyas or cypripediums, and were as inexpensive, they would at once jump into the front ranks of commercial or- chids. They enjoy a hot, moist house and must have some shade, even in winter. Too much is often applied, however, in summer. This causes superb leaves to be produced, but the flower spikes are usually disappointing, Phal- senopsis do well in pans or baskets. Bather deep baskets are particularly good. Sphagnum moss and fern fiber make a suitable compost and the drain- age must be good. These plants do not need repanning often, and great care is necessary when it is done, or the plants will be injured. The two finest commercial phalsenopsis are P. amabilis, of which Bimestadiana is a superior form, pure white in color, and P. Schil- leriana, which ias lovely variegated leaves and much branched spikes of soft, mauve-colored fiowers. Fifty to seventy-five flowers are sometimes car- ried on a spike, and occasionally many more. A TELEPHONE TAI.K. The Wrong Way. A, a retail florist, wishes to call B, a wholesaler, and give an order for stock on which A is running low, and this is the way he sometimes goes about it: A removes the' receiver and, without giving the operator time to reply, he jangles the hook up and down rapidly, at the same time calling — "Hello! Hello! What's the matter! Why don't you answer, and not keep me waiting all day?" He seems to think he is the only one that "Central" has to answer, forgetting that she is prob- ably fully as busy as he. "Central," noting the continued flashing on A's line, answers as quickly as possible, although somewhat ruffled by his impatience. When A hears her polite "Number, please," he starts on a tirade against the telephone company in general and her in particular. "Cen- tral," however, has no time to listen [Concluded on page 60.] 16 TheWcekly Horists' Review. Apbil 18, 1912. 3C ac ac f SEASONABLE s^ 1| \ ^ SUGGESTIONS j \ Peonies. In the warmer states peonies will already have made quite a little growth, but in the northern states they are al- most dormant yet, but one or two warm days will cause them to grow rapidly. If they received a good mulch of rotted manure last fall, this should be worked in about them with an ordinary digging fork, or where there is a considerable planting of them, a cultivator can be used. Some addi- tional food which will be quickly avail- able should also be applied now. Dried blood has been found to be an excel- lent fertilizer, and any fertilizer con- taining ten per cent of potash is good. Fine bone, pulverized sheep manure and tankage have all been used with good results. After applying the fertilizer, run the cultivator over the ground and keep the soil constantly stirred, par- ticularly after each rainfall. When buds appear on the plants, disbud promptly, and this is the time when liquid manure, if it can be applied, will greatly improve the quality of the flowers. Fansies. After the middle of April it is safe to remove any mulch which remains on the pansies wintered outdoors. As no doubt some have been lifted almost out of the ground by alternate freez- ings and thawings, such plants must be firmed. This takes considerable time where a large number are grown, but if it is not done, many of the olants will be lost. If an early batch are wanted in flower they should be lifted and planted in a coldframe in rich compost. Take good balls with each plant. Soak well with water, cover with sashes, air freely and you will soon have plenty of flowers. Where they are to be sold in small baskets containing a dozen plants each, the plants can go direct into the baskets and, if placed in a cool greenhouse, will soon be in a salable condition. Dahlias. It is a little early to plant out dahlias and, as a matter of fact, it is not the early planted tubers which are the best. June planted stock has al- ways given excellent results and in- stances have been known where plants set out as late as July 4 flowered finely. If the stock of tubers has not been overhauled, now is the time to do this work. Cut away all moldy or decayed portions, divide the roots so that they will have a good sound eye each, and lay them on a bench of sphagnum moss or sand where they can be lightly sprayed. A warm house is neither nec- essary nor desirable, as it would only make the shoots soft and spindling. When nicely started put the divided roots in flats of sandy loam and grad- ually harden them off. They will do just as well transferred to the open ground from flats as pots. Where large areas are to be planted and horse cul- tivation used altogether, it is far better in every way to use tubers which are dormant, or as nearly dormant as pos- sible. Eooted cuttings, which are much used in Europe, are less popular here. If one is perchance eaten down by cutworms, it is finished, while a tuber will usually sprout again from the base, but rooting cuttings is a good method of propagation when it is desired to work up stock of any particular varieties. Fuchsias. Fuchsias in 4-inch pots carrying a few flowers each always sell well around Memorial day. They are not successes when bedded out in the full sun as in Europe, but where they can be grown in partial shade, and also in vases or piazza boxes, they are useful. Pick the flowers from any which are bloom- ing this early and do so until the last part of April; then allow them to flower. If a batch of cuttings is taken now and grown along through the sum- mer they will make useful plants in 5-inch pots for early autumn flowering, a season when blooming plants in pots are quite scarce. The single fuchsias are much better than the doubles for practically all purposes; the doubles look too heavy and clumBy and flower less freely. o^ Show Felargoniums. The plants which have been growing along in a cool, airy house will now be coming into flower and this is the time when they need careful culture. In the matter of feeding, pelargoniums re- quire as much as chrysanthemums and it should not be discontinued on the appearance of the first flowers, but kept up until the plants are practically at their best. Liquid cow or sheep ma- nure twice a week, or a surfacing of Clay's fertilizer alternated, will keep the plants well toned up and of a good color. If any staking is required do it at once, using short stakes which will be invisible. Don't on any account neglect fumigatiiig, as green aphis is the arch enemy of this beautiful plant. BEDDING GERANIUMS. The earliest and strongest gerani- ums have now been in a gentle hotbed for over a fortnight, where they are plunged almost to their brims. The growth they have made is surprising; every plant is of a rich, dark color and the growth is short and stocky, while the shoots are bristling with flower stalks, which will be kept picked off until the end of April. Many large growers scorn the frame culture of these plants, but it is a veritable god- send to the smaller growers, with their overcrowded houses, and most of us have yet to see finer geraniums pro- duced in spring in greenhouses than in frames. After this date it is tolerably safe to stand out geraniums in frames without any bottom heat, provided they are built closely and have good sashes over them. Either coarse sand or fine screened cinders are excellent to stand the pots on, and if a bed of either ma- terial of sufficient thickness is used so that the plants can be partially plunged they will dry out less and grow all the better. Any winter batches of cuttings in need of potting should be attended to before they become potbound. Give these a raised bench where they can enjoy a little bottom heat and thej' will quickly take hold of their new compost. When first potted they can stand pot to pot, but they will soon need some spacing, as growth is now rapid. No more pinching must now be done, but the plants should be looked over once a week and all dead and de- caying leaves and weeds removed. Sometimes defective glass will cause scorching of the foliage. If you can locate the squares causing the damage, change them, or, failing that, use a light shading of kerosene and white lead over them. Many inquiries come to hand^at this season with samples of diseased foliage enclosed. It is not always easy to tell what has caused the trouble. Leaving cuttings too long in a propagating bench will weaken them. A heavy fumi- gation when the plants are dry at the root will cause many leaves to turn yellow, as will painting the steam pipes with sulphur or lampblack and oil, especially if turpentine is used to assist ^ in drying the paint quickly. Where this is used, always leave some air on night and day until all fumes have vanished. Injudicious feeding with strong chem- icals, such as nitrate of soda -or sul- phate of ammonia, will burn the roots and cripple the plants. They are use- ful only when applied sparingly and in moderate doses to improve starved plants. These strong chemicals will produce green, luxuriant-looking plants, which, however, will never flower well, and these plants with soft, sappy growths fall an easy prey to disease. Geraniums are among the easiest of plants to grow, but how to grow them well and make them flower freely is not by any means generally under- stood. Eemember they do not want saturation at the roots; they should not be constantly sprayed overhead. They do not need a warm house; 45 to 50 degrees at night is ample. They like a soil containing some fine bone, which builds up stocky, floriferous wood. They April 18, 1912.

Given these conditions, there should be fewer sickly and dis- eased plants. M. M. CASBOLL, DEAR SIB. M. M. Carroll, the Cincinnati im- porter of bulbs and plants, generally is known to the trade as "Mr. Car- roll" and mail is addressed "Dear Sir." Mr. Carroll's first name is Mae; see portrait herewith. Miss Carroll is said to be the only woman engaged in this branch of the horticultural trades. She sees no reason, if the flo- rists' business in its other branches is so well suited to women, why it should not be in line for her sex to engage in the wholesale importing branch of the trade. For four years she was connected with a man who did a large and successful business in this line, and she has traveled as a salesman for nearly four years. Miss Carroll has now been in business for herself for nearly a year and says that her ex- perience has proved to her that there is a good field for a woman in the bulb and plant business, providing she has the average business ability and understands thoroughly the line of stock she handles. PBOPAGATmO ANTIBBHINUMS. We have a bench of snapdragons from which we wish to take a lot of cuttings if it will pay us to grow them for winter flowering. Is this a good time of year to propagate them, and how should we handle them? Is the' raised or the solid bench preferable? What is the right distance apart to plant them in the field and in the bench after lifting! L. B. The cuttings of antirrhinums will root readily now in an ordinary cut- ting bench. Pot off singly as soon as rooted, being sure not to leave them in the sand until they become hard. Gradually harden off the plants and plant them out in the field a foot apart in the rows. While these field plants can be lifted and benched for early winter flowering, plants which are propagated somewhat later and carried over summer in pots plunged in a frame will do better. These latter, if first placed in 2 1^ -inch pots, should later be shifted into 4-inch pots and planted in a bench in August if an early crop is desired. If you want later flowers, take cuttings from your field plants in August. Keep the flow- ering stems pinched back to encourage the production of cuttings. These can be benched to follow mums and will give a fine late winter and spring crop. Of course, snapdragons will flower prof- "VLVL CarroO, Dear Sir." itably for several months if kept well fed. In midwinter, plants on benches have a little advantage, but on the whole solid beds have given us the finest flowers and they are much to be pre- ferred where flowers are wanted from, say, Easter to Memorial day. Plant in the benches 10x12 inches apart. Use compost such as will grow good mums. Never use gas in fumigating them, and do not run the night temperature in winter over 50 degrees. At 45 to 48 degrees the spikes will be much better. C. W. EMBLEMATIC BEDDING. Each spring florists are called on for more or less bedding of emblematic character and, as these beds must be planned some time in advance, the ac- companying illustrations will be of sea- sonable interest. These beds were the work of Wm. Behnisch, gardener at the Will county courthouse, Joliet, 111., and were planted because of the G. A. E. state encampment held at Joliet last year. The upper bed has the lettering "Welcome G. A. B. " in red and green alternanthera, with the opposite side of the bed filled with cannas. The shields in the bed were of crushed stone, some of it colored. The flag in the second bedj also is of crushed stone. At the back was a row of cannas, in front of which was a 12-inch band of silver- leaved geraniums, then a 4-inch band of red alternanthera, then an 8-inch band of green and yellow alternanthera just back of the flag, these last two strips also running around its sides. In front of the flag were alternate rows of green and red alternanthera running in the direction opposite to the stripes in the flag. G. A. R.

Mr. Buhler, who was well known in his vicinity, removed to Washing- ton some twenty-five years ago from New Orleans, where he had engaged in the government contracting business. He entered the employ of Nicholas Studer, in Anacostia, D. C, under whom he learned his trade. He was later given the stand in the Navy Yard market, which stands directly op- posite his old home. He stayed with Studer about three years before going into the retail business on his own account. It was only late last week that Mr. Buhler was around the Center Market talking over trade conditions with the boys there. Although 87 years of age, he was active, attending to his store with the agility of a much younger man. He was devoted to his wife, who survives him, and his pass- ing is a matter of deep regret. C. L. L. Frank Nuss. Frank Nuss, who has been for near- ly thirty years a gardener at the Euth- erfurd and White estate at Newport, E. I., died suddenly April 8. Mr. Nuss was born in Germany and after learn- ing the gardeners' business in that country and in Holland he came to this country when still a young man and took up his residence at Newport, where he remained all his life. He was one of the oldest and best known gardeners in that city of famous pri- vate estates. The deceased is sur- vived by two daughters. Miss Eliza- beth G. Nuss, a teacher in the Carey school of that city, where she has taken a leading part in the establish- ing of school gardens, and Miss Mary •Nuss, who has also taken a great in- terest in the development of garden work in the schools. There are also two sons, Thomas F. Nuss, of New- port, and Joseph S. Nuss, of Boston. W. H. M. Alexander McCullough. Alexander McCullough, of Brookline, Mass., died April 10 at his home, 17 Aspinwall avenue, at the age of 65. He had been in ill health a long time. He is survived by his wife and five children. Myron Llewellyn. Myron Llewellyn, of Olean, N. Y., died of heart failure April 6. Since 1872 he had conducted a flower store in that city. Until the first of the year he had complete charge of the green- houses and store, but at that time his son, Frank, began to help about the business. Nels Peter liaison. Nels Peter Larson, one of the oldest residents of Evanston, 111., and formerly a florist at 1624 Sherman avenue, in that city, died March 28, at the Swedish Old People's home in North Evanston, at the age of 81 years. He was born in Sweden and came to America and to Evanston in 1866. He leaves one son, Charles, recently of California, but now of Evanston. Victor Johansen. Victor Johansen, president and man- ager of the Victor Johansen Seed Co., growers of flower seeds, Arroyo Grande, Cal., died suddenly of heart disease, on the evening of April 8, at his home in Arroyo Grande. It is announced that the business will be continued under the management of his widow, Mrs. Mary Johansen, assisted by her son, Oscar W. Johansen, who has been con- nected with the business for the last four years. John F. Larson.. - John F. Larson, for the last nine- teen years a florist at Eock Island, 111., was found dead by his wife in the kitchen of his home, 439 Forty-fourth street, early in the morning of April 9. Suicide by asphyxiation has been given as the cause of his death, al- though reason for his committing the act is unknown. When found, his body was lying across the gas stove with his mouth over a jet, which had been turned on. He was born in Sweden, December 12, 1856, and came to Eock Island in 1890. For eighteen years he was employed on the gov- ernment island, working as a horti- culturist. Of late, however, he had been in business for himself.

Business last week was fairly good, on the whole. The supply of flowers was not large and clearances were fully as good as could be expected. The present week sees trade rather quiet, but supplies, owing to the con- tinued cold weather, are by no means unwieldy, and there is not yet any considerable surplus. Of course a spell of warm weather may speedily cjbange all this. Eoses continue the softest spot in the market. These are in heavy supply and of good quality. Prices are on the down grade. The demand is best for Killarneys, Tafts, Eichmonds and the various yellow varieties. Carnations are down to half the Easter prices, $1 to $3 being prevail- ing rates. Single violets are over, but doubles will arrive for some time yet. These are making 50 cents to 75 cents per hundred. Sweet peas are less abun- dant than a month ago. The Spencer varieties are coming from several growers in fine shape. Bulb stock had an excellent Easter and continues to meet a fair sale. Some fine .Spanish iris is seen. Yellow marguerites were surely never more abundant than now. Valley is plentiful, and' so are snap- dragons, of which pink continues the favorite color. English primroses are plentiful, and there is a good assort- men of other spring flowers. Lilies and callas are a slow trade. Green stock is quiet after the Easter rush. In last week's Eeview carnations were quoted as selling here as high as $10 for Easter. This should have been $6. Large numbers went at $5 April 6. Club Meeting. Vice-President W. J. Kennedy pre- sided over the regular monthly club meeting April 16, President Pegler be- ing still indisposed. The attendance was 125, three new members being elected. There was no regular lecture, but nu- merous queries were taken up and an- swered and proved both interesting and varied in their character. It was an- nounced that the banquet usually held in February or March, and originally inte^ided for April, will be postponed until autumn, so that something ambi- tious can be provided in honor of the club's silver jubilee. An invitation to visit the estate of Bayard Thayer, South Lancaster, Mass., where Wm. An- derson is superintendent, to inspect the bulb gardens, lilacs, etc., in May, was received and referred to the executive committee. Alexander McKay talked interesting- ly on mushrooms and made an exhibit of mushrooms grown from pure culture spawn. The discussion which followed his remarks was participated in by John Farquhar, William Downs, W. N. Craig, D. Findlayson and Messrs. El- liott, Palmer, Sander and Coles. Among the subjects taken up were amaryllis, dahlias, rhododendrons, kalmias and the question of the respective merits of carnations grown in pots or flats. Among the exhibits were a new white rambler rose from Thomas Coles, fine Spanish iris from H. Waldecker and Oncidium luridum from J. Q. Smith. A message of good cheer was ordered sent to President Pegler. Various Notes. William W. Tailby, of Wellesley, met with a serious and painful accident on the evening of April 6, falling the full length of a flight of stairs, with his little girl in his arms, through a mis- take in opening a door. Mr. Tailby broke his left hip, left wrist and shoul- der, fractured his jaw and had a wound in his head needing eight stitches to APBIL 18, 1912. TheWcckly Florists' Review. 19 gew up. He is now convalescing as vv«ll as can be expected, but will prob- ably be confined to his bed for a con- siderable time. ^JiiaJittle child rather miraculously escaped serious injury. John Benton, who died somewhat suddenly April 7, was for nearly a (juarter of a century a trusted employee in the seed department of E. & J, Far- (juhar & Co., and well known and re- spected by both commercial and pri- \'ate growers. He was a Scotchman, horn in Aberdeen, and spent three years in Detroit before locating at Boston. Paine Bros., of Eandolph, are mar- keting at the Boston Flower Exchange their usual fine assortment of bulbous flowers. They report sales at Easter as ahead of any previous year, with better prices. Noted in H. E. Comley's windows April 13 were fine vases of ixias, tri- tonias, anemones, ranunculi, white scabious, sparaxis, crinums and the first Mayflowers of the season. William Patterson, of WoUaston, one of our leading bulb specialists, had an exceptionally strong Easter trade, and reports sales as splendid, everything cleaning up well. The Flower Growers' Sales Co. had a heavy Easter trade. They are receiv- ing grand sweet peas from Wm. Sim, Kdgar Bros, and other growers, and their carnations from F. P. Putnam, Halifax Garden Co. and Peirce Bros, are of the best. William Boise, lately with the Plant Estate, Groton, Conn., has been ap- pointed head gardener to Mrs. Samuel Hoar, of Concord. W. H. Ward, of Montvale, has a. fine crop of yellow marguerites in addi- tion to his carnations. N.^W. Silverman, on Winter street, had a heavy Easter trade. He always has a pleasing window, which will catch the eyes of passers-by on that busy thoroughfare. The Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety will hold its next exhibition May 11 and 12, when pelargoniums, cal- ceolarias, tulips and narcissi will be special features. F. H. Houghton, on Park street, had a charming window arrangement April 13 of genistas and antirrhinums. R. C. Bridgham, of the Newton Greenhouses, is having a fine cut of Killarneys, Wards and other roses at present. Mr. Bridgham had a fine Easter business at his Beacon street store in Boston. Joseph Breck & Sons Corporation and A. E. Robinson, lately with the New England Nurseries as president and manager, have formed a new cor- poration, the Breck-Eobinson Co. Their nurseries and trial grounds are at Lexington, Mass. The landscape department will be given special atten- tion. The officers are: President, Jo- seph F. Breck; vice-president and man- ager, Alfred E. Eobinson; treasurer, Charles H. Breck; secretary, Sheldon A. Robinson. S. J. Goddard reports carnations as being in light crop at present. He hag had a heavy call for rooted cut- tings and had an excellent Easter trade. A. F. Coolidge, of Cambridge, is a good plant grower, and there are few better geraniums than his. Perry Green, of Quincy, has some- thing of a novelty at this season in white scabious, which he is cutting with 18-inch stems. These Are the Little Liners That Do'theBosioess E. H. Borowski, of Roslindale, had many of the finest rambler roses and bougainvilleas seen in Boston this Easter. Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, has the finest selection of Spencer sweet peas coming into the market at the present time. James Wheeler's snapdragons con- tinue in as heavy crop as ever. He had a grand pick of carnations for Easter. W. N. Craig. NEW YORK. The Market. Following Easter came a week of chill and depression. The weather on Sunday hugged freezing and a cold rain all day brought calamity to the street merchants, who are now offering about everything but orchids to an indiscriminating public. Saturday saw a fairly good clean-up in the wholesale market, but at badly broken values, while of roses there were too many for any possible outlet. The present week opens with a summer tempera- ture. The whole face of nature has changed in a night. The grass is green- er, the trees are budding, and planting has begun in earnest. The seed stores are crowded to the doors. One can imagine, however, better than I can describe the effect this warmth and sunshine will have on the wholesale cut flower market, dominated, as it now is, by the enormous rose crop and the undiminished shipments of southern daffodils. Thesejatter sell, not by the dozen nor/'fheV hundred, but by the box of 400 or 500 and lucky is the man who can dispose of his shipment at $1 a box. American Beauty roses seldom sell above 25 cents. They must then be selected. This week they probably will go lower. So will all roses, including the novelties. Brides, Maids and Marylands sell from 50 cents per hun- dred up, but not far up, 4 cents each buying the best of them. Killarney dominates the rose situation; one wholesaler reports having received forty-four boxes of them Saturday. Estimate if you can the total receipts of Killarney on Saturday by the fifty- seven wholesale distributors. It takes an expert mathematician to total them. The violet quotations may as well be eliminated. It certainly does not pay the grower when his violets have to seek customers at $1 per thousand. On the streets 10 cents a bunch is the cry. These are sad days for this 20 TheWcekly Florists' Review. April 18, 1912. once queen of the market. There are plenty of carnations; from 50 cents to $2 per hundred is the range. Good stock sold at $10 per thousand April 15. Valley holds up well, especially the fancy stock, but lilies of all kinds have fallen, selling at from $5 down to $3 per hundred. Callas are back to $1.25 a dozen. Tulips sell slowly, except a few of the new double varie- ties. Spring flowers of all kinds crowd the windows, and most of them stay there, narcissi among them, and mignonette, wallflowers and daisies. A great deal of the gardenia arrivals reach the street men. The selected and long-stemmed flowers never go above $3 a dozen. Orchids are in great supply, especially Schroederse, tion for the National Flower Show ot 1913, meeting at the Grand Central Palace every Monday. The Pennock-Meehan Co. will move into its new store May 1. The whole building will be utilized and the sup- ply and ribbon department greatly en- larged. Henry M. Bobinson was in New York from Wednesday until Saturday last week and is much pleased with the encouragement he has received in his branch here, realizing already the necessity for greater space for his sup- ply department. Julius Eoehrs, Sr., was slightly ill from the grippe last week. The Easter sales by the company were the larg- est on record. Three new orchid houses, similar to those which make Store Front of Wm. Keuler, New York. which sells far below its real value. Only the best of the cattleyas realize anything approaching satisfactory fig- ures. These conditions should speed- ily improve. Wide preparations are being made by the plantsmen for Me- morial day. Of all branches of the trade, these seem to have the greatest cause for self-congratulation. Various Notes. A serious accident on Sunday, April 14, at Harrington Park, N. J., in the collapse of a church floor, numbered among its severely injured Mr. and Mrs. Herman C. Steinhoff, of West Ho- boken, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. William Kessler are enjoying a week 's recuperation in the mountains after the Easter strain and its sleepless nights. Foreman Brad- shaw is giving worth-while daily les- sons in window decoration. The plant auctions are drawing big crowds every Tuesday and Friday. Mr. MacNiflf says last week's Tuesday sale was the largest on record, over $2,500 worth of stock being disposed of between 11 a. m, and 4 p. m. The Manhattan Florist Shop has been removed to the corner of Sixth avenue and West Twenty-fifth street. President Barrow has furnished Jack Gunther, of Gunther Bros., with a sea- son pass to all the ball parks of his league. v Messrs. Totty and Bunyard have se- cured their staterooms de luxe, for the trip to the London flower show, and are busy, with Chairman Traendly and the rest of the committee, in prepara- up tjie present range, are being erect- ed, ilhus making this the largest amount of glass devoted to orchids in this country. A. J. Guttman has removed his head- quarters to the front of the first floor of the Coogan building and has incor- porated the Alex. J. Guttman Cut Flower tjo. The nursery business is at high tide with Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, where 500 men are employed during the shipping season. Over 300 acres are now devoted to the growing of nursery stock. More greenhouses are being built this spring. Orders for spring planting are far in advance of any season in the firm's history. A. L. Young & Co. were next door to a small conflagration last week, but they and all their tenants escaped even a scorching. Large importations of bays, ever- greens and boxwood are arriving. Woodrow & Marketos will continue their branch plant store on Sixth ave- nue until Memorial day. The firm did an enormous Easter business. Mrs. Woodrow, who was so severely burned bv gasoline some weeks ago, is rapidly recovering. Charles Millang continues to im- prove and is in the market every day. He is taking out his revenge on the dog that bit him by selling automo- biles to the trade, F. E. Pierson, of Tarrytown, being one of his latest patrons. A. Hermann says he enjoyed his usual prosperity at Easter, both in large purchases by florists and in his branch enterprise in the confectionery trade. James Coyle, of College Point, for- merly with H. E. Froment, is ill at his home. The Johnston Heating Co. has the contract for the heating plant for the new range of 35,000 square feet of glass which is to be erected by A. S. Burns, Jr., the widely known lily grower. There are five houses to be built, the material furnished by the King Con- struction Co. J. B. Nugent, Sr., who celebrated his ninetieth birthday, is under the weather. He is the oldest florist in New York. J. Austin Shaw. Wertheimer Bros, say that since Easter there has been a large increase in the orders for gauze shower ribbons and other ribbons and chiffons for wed- ding work. THE KESSLES STORE. The accompanying illustration shows the store of William Kessler, New York, as it appeared when filled with blooming plants for the Easter trade.

He has a stand in the Eighth street market. Ottawa, ni. — Some unusually fine calla lilies and carnations, grown by Lohr Bros, in their greenhouses on Ottawa street, were recently on exhibition in the windows of Charles Geiger's gro- cery store.

This week's Review contains more classified plant advertisements than ever before appeared in a single issue — and every one charged for. With practically everybody using that brown wrapping paper, someone might make his packages distinct by adopting almost any other color. 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. The demand foi^g Manetti stocks is likely to increase steadily for some years, for the number of grafted roses is as yet small in comparison with the own root plants in greenhouse benches. Benjamin Hammond, chairman of the School Garden Committee of the S. A. F., has just sent a circular to the school trustees of America, illustrating what has been done in school gardening and urging that the work be undertaken in every school district in the country. One line states: "If there is a florist or seedsman in your town he will assist in this good work." TOPPING ANTIEEHINUMS. We have snapdragons in 2-inch pots ready to shift. Shall we top them or let them alone? We put them in according to instructions in The Re- view and we want them for Memorial day. O. S. If the plants are five to six inches high, top them. If short, it will be better not to top. Plant them out in a bench or bed containing well en- riched compost, placing them 10x12 inches apart. Keep the soil well scratched over and let the temperature be 48 to 50 degrees at night. Your plants are just a trifle late, but with good care should flower on time. C. W. GOOD LETTER WBITINQ. Business men ought by all means to be free from the charge of writing in- sulting or belittling letiers. It is mighty easy to use these valuable little particles that we call words in a way that will hurt, disgust or demoralize. It is just as easy to use words in phras- ing our correspondence that will ex- press our opinion and at the same time command respect, bring business and leave a pleasant impression. We are prompted to refer to this because of some correspondence that has passed before our notice between parties that ought to be too big to allow anything of this kind to happen — in fact, such letters should never pass out of an of- fice or go through the mails. The day of "pistols for two" is fast waning from business correspondence, and, in- stead of it, there is manifested a kindly regard for the rights of others. It is a good idea to ignore things that may be interpreted as personal slights op in- tentional thrusts when answering a let- ter. Confine yourself to business and observe business courtesy in your writ- ing and you will have more friends and more business, too. — Prank B. White. AWAY DOWN EAST. This "great country of ours," as the Fourth of July orators term it, is steadily getting smaller; means of rapid communication are drawing us together. In which connection it is worth noting that a letter mailed in Boston postoffice at noon for the 18- hour train, or one mailed at New York up to 2 o'clock, or at Philadelphia up to 3:30, for the fliers, is delivered at The Review office in Chicago at 11 a. m. next day — ^which is not more than one delivery behind a letter mailed at the same hour at some substations of Chicago itself. With such quick connections The Review is in position to give as prompt and efficient service to advertisers on the Atlantic seaboard as it is to those in the great and growing west — and does it, as follows: Please cut out that heliotrope ad; we don't want to have to return any more money to buyers whose orders we can't fill. — Hopkins & Hopkins, Chepachet, R. I.. April 9, 1912. Please discontinue our advertisement and send bill. The Review kept us on the Jump to fill orders and we were obliged to return several checks. — Soutbside Nurseries, Chester, Va., April 6, 1912. , CHICAGO. The Market. Suffering a drop in prices almost abnormal in its own suddenness, the market this week resolved itself into a forcing of sales of surplus stock at almost any figure. The general de- mand was not any greater than in former years, while the annual spring oversupply came more abruptly than usual because of the several warm days that followed immediately after the Easter rush. The quick change in the weather brought out all the backward stock that had been held in check by the cold weather of March. The result was almost startling. Almost every grower was forced to work overtime cutting, cutting, and them some more cutting, until the market was flooded with almost every kind of flower in season. Tuesday, April 9, saw the start of it, and by Wednesday the inundation had overcome the best ef- forts of the wholesalers, who worked head and hand and foot to hold it in check, using every method possible to force the sale of large quantities in the hope of clearing the tables. Roses came in large shipments, Killarney and White Killarney, Melody and Amer- ican Beauties alike. For a time the best of these could be moved at a reasonable figure, but by Thursday and Friday the supply was so large that the buyer made the price. Carnations accumulated in the largest quantities. White and red for a time held firm, but as the supply increased even these were forced to sale at ridiculously low figures in large quan- tities. Splits and poor stock were a dead loss. !Not even the street venders were willing to accept them at even their own figure. Toward the end of APRIL 18, 1012. ThcWeckly Fbrists' Review. 23 OURS ARE EXTRA FINE KILLARNEYS WHITE OR PINK We ask retailers to order freely of our Killarney and White Killarney, for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by making friends for those who buy of us. It has long been recognized that length for length of stem our Killar- neys carry the finest flowers of any in this market. The crop is heavy now, so that the prices are lower than what you are accustomed to pay. i CARNATIONS A Very loLvge Crop On Buyers who know this market recognize that our supply of Carnations is not only large but that the stock averages the finest big lot to be found in the west. The spring crop is on this week and the cut is extremely heavy, while the quality is a little the best of the season, as it always is when the big spring cut is on. Excellent values are offered, especially on large lots. Write or wire for special quotations. BEAUTIES Sprinif Crop ia On You will like the Beauties we are bow cutting in quantity. It is the spring crop, cut from plants that have not been forced in winter — grown specially to meet the heavy demand that comes at this season. All lengths. Try some of these now — we know you will want them regularly once you see how salable they are. SWEET PEAS All Colors— Excellent Stock The extent to which Sweet Peas now are grown for this mar- ket is largely due to the success our growers made with Peas — it was our stock that popularized this flower. While our growers have had many imitators, it has not yet been possible for anyone to produce finer stock than we have handled each season for sev- eral years. We ship them fresh and fragrant, fine, long-stemmed stock SPRING FLOWERS Fine Snapdragon, Spanish Iris, Daisies, Pansies, Valley, Tu- lips, Jonquils, Candytuft and Mignonette.

Lickrun, Cincinnati, Oliio Mention The Review when you write. the week the Saturday rush took off a good portion of the overflow, but still there were large numbers that went to waste. Throughout the market there hardly could be found anything that was off crop. Greens were in full supply, with the possible exception of smilax. A general shortage of this was in effect and of course the prices held firm. The numerous weddings that always fol- low shortly after Easter helped the de- mand for valley and in most cases this moved along in good shape. Orchids, also popular in wedding bouquets, were likewise in demand, and these were about the only scarcity. Spanish iris came on the market in big lots and con- sequently it suffered with the rest. Tulips, daffodils and the like were forced to rock bottom by the arrival of large quantities from the south. Many shipments of the southern stock were a total loss. Violets have started to go out and few, either double or single, were to be had. Sweet peas are abundant and, although extremely fine, the prices mod- erated to a considerable degree. For the first few days after Easter a com- parative shortage of lilies was noted, but a couple of warm days sufficed to bring plenty of them to the cutting point and sales were registered at un- usually low prices for the latter part of the week. Callas are more abun- dant than at any time this year, and are difficult to move. The retailers probably accepted the glut as a matter of fact, for they look for it the first few warm days of spring and they usually are able to turn it to some advantage. There is no doubt that it was more serious than for a number of years, for, coming on the heels of the Easter rush, it caught the retailers unprepared to accept its ad- vantages as they could had it held off a week or ten days, until the demand had become more normal. As a whole the retail demand has seemed to hold about normal, but it was useless to try to force the demand until the end of last week, when things began to show life.

A new commission house will enter the field May 1, when Charles W. Erne will take over the quarters now occu- pied by C. W. McKellar, who is to take larger quarters. Mr. Erne has long been identified with the trade and has a large number of friends as the result of fifteen years with E. H. Hunt. At the present time he is connected with the Chicago Flower Growers' As- sociation. Both Winterson's Seed Store and the W. W. Barnard Co. report that counter trade opened strong this week. April 17 there was a quiet wedding at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Pearce. The bride was Miss Carrie Pearce; the groom, G. Tegelaar, who is the American representative of Speel- man & Sons, Sassenheim, Holland. Those present were only the immediate relatives, but there were many hand- some gifts. May 7 Mr. and Mrs. Tege- laar sail from New York for a summer in Europe. It is expected that they will make their home at Hoboken, where Mr. Tegelaar 's firm has its American headquarters. At the meeting of the Florists' Club April 11, George Asmus was elected a trustee to succeed E. C. Amling, re- signed. The election of a secretary was. postponed until the May meeting. New members elected were August Koch,. John Lambert, H. Van Gelder and S. A. Jamieson, the latter in charge of salea to florists by the Universal Portland Cement Co., the concern from which Poehlmann Bros. Co. is said to have purchased 10,000 barrels of cement in the last year, and the Geo. Wittbold Co. 8,000 barrels since it adopted con- crete construction. At the May meeting Mr. Jamieson will read a paper on the use of cement in greenhouse building, illustrating his remarks with stereop- ticon views. The Lord & Burnham Co., Des Plaines,. 111., has increased its capital stock from $50,000 to $250,000. C. W. Kellar says that the Virginia narcissi did excellently for Easter, but that since then it has hardly paid to ship them to this market. He received fifty-four cases April 13 in such bad condition that they were a complete loss. Peter Reinberg will this season drop the Mrs. Marshall Field rose and give ATBil* 18, 1912.

The secretary- is disappointed at the number of appli- cants for park jobs. A meeting of the premium committee of the Horticultural Society was held April 11 to prepare a list for the exhi- bition authorized next spring. The com- mittee found, however, some difficulty because of an unfortunate combina- tion of dates: To have the show be- fore the early Easter brings it too early to have the stock ready, and to hold the show after Easter brings it in conflict with the National Flower Show. Gus Swanson has bought the glass and has the material men figuring on 15,000 feet of houses which he intends to put up at Eiver Forest, to be ready by August 15, when his lease on the L.

Of course this had to happen during a time of ex- tremely large supply. Hoerber Bros, lost the services of a shipping clerk last Saturday when Law- rence Mathes departed for Minneapolis to take a position with the L. S. Don- aldson Co., in its retail store. He left with Wm. Desmond, manager of Don- aldson's greenhouses and florists' de- partment. Mr. Mathes formerly was with Weiland & Eisch. The third quarterly meeting of the stockholders of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association was called by President John F. Kidwell for April 17. The last quarter was a most favor- able one, according to President Kid- well. Anthony Enwich, nmnager of E. H. Hunt's cut flower department, was on the sick list Tuesday, April 16. E. B. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- burn, started with Mrs. Washburn in his automobile the other evening, to attend a wedding, when a punctured tire forced a halt for repairs. The fact that he had a dress suit on did not help matters any. W. J. Smyth is using a patent tire filler on his delivery car and the manu- facturer is using a cut of the auto in his newspaper advertising, thereby giving Mr. Smyth some good free publicity. All season long L. A. Coles, of Koko- mo, Ind., has been sending excellent sweet peas to the Chicago market. J. A. Budlong is the consignee. Frank Evert no longer is with Adolph Malchow, 3743 North Clark street. Mr. Malchow says he cleaned up everything that was ready for Easter and looks for a big bedding season.

The cut flower market has suffered, during the week ending April 17, re- verses that although no greater than in previous years, are, nevertheless, dis- piriting after the buoyancy of the week before. There is business, quite a lit- tle of it, but nothing like enough to care for nearly all the flowers that are coming into town. Every wholesale house feels the change and the effect on prices has been marked; a decline in nearly everything, with a few notable exceptions. Valley, so extremely scarce at Easter and some days after, is mere plentiful now. Sweet peas have been in active demand. The winter crops are about over and the spring crops, generally of excellent quality, are hardly in full supply. Violets are in the closing days of the season, with little sign of the flurry that sometimes sends their price skyward before their disappearance. Greens have also held fairly well, al- though the demand for smilax is slack- ening. Roses and carnations have fallen; the lower grades accumulate. Easter lilies, and sometimes callas, are extremely hard to market at any price. The rest of the market requires lit- tle special comment save to note the absence of heavy crops of Kaiserin at and after Easter. The effect of their absence has been to improve the sale of White Killarney and of Bride, thereby fooling the buyers who look to the usual accumulation of white roses. Snapdragon is fine just now. Indoor- grown lilac is still here, although the southern outdoor stock is arriving. The market for bulbous stock is in bad shape, the receipts of southern and northern outdoor daffodils overlapping, A Reliable House Buyers like to deal where they know their interests will be protected, which is where the thought of the man receiving the orders will be, ''Will these flowers give satisfaction?'* They like to deal where care is exercised in filling their orders, knowing full well that this care prevents waste so costly to themselves. We refer such buyers to The House of BERGER BROTHERS Wboleude Florlita 140-142 North ISth Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Mention The Review when vou wnie while choice greenhouse-grown stock seems the only desirable variety. Seventy-forty-three Bidge Boad. One of our brightest florists, a highly successful grower, said recently that he was trying to become one of the big fellows before the day arrived when the small florist must "go to the wall." A recent article in The Review seemed to bear out this idea as regards the small growers around Chicago. There is, however, one point in favor of the small grower that can- not be too strongly emphasized; qual- ity will enable him to swim, no mat- ter how strong the current of adver- sity. It does cost him more to pro- duce; he must work hard, but if he has the quality he will always be able to sell his plants and flowers at fair prices. A little bird whispered that it was high time to call on William H. Westcott, in his new home out on the Ridge road, near Barren Hill. Mr. Westcott, it will be remembered, with- drew from the Laurel Hill Nurseries two years ago, after a score or more years of successful business with his brother, in the firm that bears their name, following ten years alone at Sec- ond and Tioga streets. Mr. Westcott and his son, William, decided to make their new home at 7043 Ridge avenue, where one greenhouse, 21x125, of Lord & Burnham material, was erected ip the summer of 1910. Two others of the same size and make were attached last summer, with a neat corridor house and a light potting shed over two L. & B. boilers. The first of these greenhouses was planted with carnations in benches — a house that is worth going ten times as far to see. The plants are extreme- ly vigorous, bearing large flowers on APBIL 18, 1912.

It was arranged before Palm Sunday, so that the pre-Easter visitors might not be disappointed. It was really a spring show, arranged for ef- fect. The primal ideas seem to be that an abundance of green best adorns blooming plants, so there were ferns, palms and foliage plants sufficient to lend, that softness to the whole so restful to the eye. The east end wing, always used for these exhibitions be- cause of its convenience and suitable size, was laid out quite differently from the chrysanthemum show in the fall. The flower picture was replaced by a flower garden of brightest hue — lilies, hydrangeas, azaleas, cinerarias and so on through the list, all well grown and well flowered. The feature of the show, if that term may be used, was a little nook on a side table, devoted to a particularly well grown lot of Easter lilies of even height, covered with large flowers; the effect was of a white altar on a bank of green, suggestive of purity. Large crowds attended the show, which is still open. ^^ How about your advertlsini; for iL MOTHERS' DAY-MEMORIAL DAY WEDDINGS, ETC.? Make your advortlsing right and you will get the business.

Bayersdorfer has returned from the middle west. He was cordially re- ceived in Chicago and, with Mrs. Bayersdorfer, was the recipient of cour- teous attentions. In Pittsburgh, where Mr. Bayersdorfer has not been for many years, the changes and improve- ments were full of interest, the store of the Smith Floral Co. proving espe- cially interesting; Mr. Bayersdorfer says he has never seen anything like it. Robert Bragg, one of our .rri8in.g young men, who is with Berger Bros., has announced his marriage to Miss Jean Beam. Mr. Bragg 's personal friends got the start of his business friends in their good wishes. Benedict Gibbs has a sense of humor that even the discouragement of a bad Saturday can not quell.

"Glutted" expresses in a word the condition of the market. Never before, at this time of the year, has the mar- ket been so filled with really choice stock that would not move except at great sacrifice. Practically the only lines that clean up are choice Amer- ican Beauties, iris and gladioli, and these do so only because of the limited supply. Killarney, White Killarney, Rich- mond and Bride are as fine as at any time of the year. Still, there is no active demand for them. The carna- tion glut continues and keeps growing larger day by day. Even white is af- fected with the rest. The largest accu- mulation, however, is in Enchantress. Bulbous stock presents the same con- dition as carnations. Some of the growers missed Easter and their tulips are coming in now. The stock is good, but not in active demand. The Easter lily and calla supply is easily adequate. Sweet peas are moving tolerably well, but are not nearly cleaning up as they should. Double violets are beginning to find the weather too warm for them to ship well. The same was true for several days about the middle of the week preceding Easter. The business in the flower market Sjaturday, April 13, was nothing to brag of. The florists were well represented and had an excellent display, but it coaxed the coin from the people's purses slowly and as a result at the close considerable stock had to be hauled back home again.

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.

The commission houses and those firms which wholesale are glad to get whatever they can for Easter lilies and are unable to move them in quantity. Good valley is bringing $4, although plenty can be had at a lower figure. Adiantum hybridum ia inclined to be quite scarce and such as comes into the city moves well. Other greens are more plentiful and the demand for them is good. There has been a large supply of carnations, far more than are needed, and these were offered in quantity, mixed colors, best quality, at $20 per thousand, while whites brought a little more. The double violets that are coming in are hardly good enough to offer for sale. While sweet peas are moving well, the demand for them is not quite so heavy as it has been. Eoses are plentiful and going at low figures. As to outdoor daffodils, there is al- most no price or demand. They are coming into the city in large quanti- ties and the grower does well to real- ize more than the express charges. Various Notes.

At each of the stores her photograph was taken while she was showing up some of the wares there handled. Her visit to Gude Bros. Co. resulted in the display of some of that firm's choice stock in front of the store. The ad was a good one and probably was read by the ma- jority of the people in the city. The store of Z. D. Blackistone was threatened with destruction by the fire which did considerable damage to an adjoining building one night last week. Some of Mr. Blackistone 's men, who were working late getting out orders, noticed smoke coming up from the cellar and found the fire. The prompt arrival of the fire apparatus prevented a spread of the flames. Adolphus Gude is preparing to join other members of the Almas Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine, in a pil- grimage across the continent to Los Angeles, Cal., to participate in the annual convention of the order. Mr. Gude, who is a member of the commit- tee on transportation, will be accom- panied by his wife. In view of the fact that peddlers selling flowers are to be seen on Wash- ington's streets in large numbers, local florists will no doubt be glad of the action being taken by the Washington Chamber of Commerce. At the last meeting of this body a resolution was presented asking that the committee on municipal law look into the mat- ter of raising the license fees of itiner- ant merchants. This will be done and those merchants of the city who so desire will be given a hearing by the TonsBtli Floral Go. 886 Morrison Street GROWERS AND RETAILERS Portland, Ore.

Fred Wilkie entertained the club with several selections on the zither, and there was some music by two colored musicians. Most of the evening was spent in discussing the question of giving a banquet to the out-of-town members, and, upon vote, the motion to do so carried. A com- mittee was appointed to make arrange- ments for a banquet to be held on the next meeting night. The committee on arrangements, which consisted of C. R. Root, J. A. Valentine, N. A. Benson, T.

Thirtieth annual convention, Chicago. June 26 to 17, 1912. The obituary column this week con- tains the report of the death of Victor Johansen, Arroyo Grande, Cal. The counter trade has come to life in Chicago and other eastern cities this week, influenced by spring weather! Along the eastern seaboard the season is •at its height. Joseph Beeck & Sons Co., Boston, have added the nursery business to their line, handling it through a separate cor- poration just organized by themselves and Alfred E. Robinson. The mail orders are on the sharp down grade, but the total to date is fairly satisfactory, some of the younger houses reporting excellent increases without, ap- parently, having pulled anything away from the large older concerns. The Amarillo Nursery & Seed Co., Amarillo, Tex., has been incorporated with a paid up capital of $25,000. The officers are: President and manager, D. J, Muncy; vice-president, R. E. Under- wood; secretary and treasurer, W. F. •Jons. "While the nursery business will be the principal line, field and garden -seeds will be grown and dealt in. The trade was much pleased with the report in this column last week of the heavy rain in the California seed grow- ing district. The seed growers had been 'none too cheerful in their private ad- vices, in spite of previous reports of rain, l)ut the news of the last and heaviest precipitation, unusually late and unex- pected as it was, came as an assurance of at least average crops. California has ■come to snpply so large a part of the seeds growli in the United States that •conditions there are of prime importance.

CALIFORNIA CONDITIONS. The rain which began falling in the California seed growing sections the night of April 8 continued without in- termission until noon of April 10, stead- ily increasing in volume. Though so late in the spring, it was more like a January storm than a spring rain. It was much the heaviest downpour of the season and the ground is thoroughly soaked. Heavy and frequent showers followed the rain in the afternoon of April 10 and through the night. This storm seems to have been general all over the state, and should insure splen- did agricultural crops. These crops re- quire more rain than those of the seed growers or the orchardists, for the lat- ter get more benefit from a limited rainfall through their system of thor- ough and timely cultivation. It is by conserving every bit of moisture in the ground through constant cultivation and following closely after every rain, that the seed growers are enabled to produce crops without irrigation on a season 's rainfall of as low as ten inches. It has been an unusual winter. The rains starte flower. FOX- HALL FARM Wholesale Pint Gr*wers, r.f.o.n«.2. NORFOLK. VA.

While the methods which have been advised are valuable in such cases, these rem- edies may be too slow to destroy all the cutworms, and we therefore have to employ other methods. These include trenching, ditching, the plowing of deep furrows in advance of the traveling cutworms to trap them, and the drag- ging of logs or brush through the fur- rows. If the trenches can be filled with water, the addition of a small quantity of kerosene so as to form a thin scum on the surface will prove fatal. In ex- treme cases barriers of fence boards are erected and the tops smeared with tar or other sticky substances to stop the cutworms as they attempt to crawl over. Clean cultural methods and rotation of crops are advisable, as also fall plow- ing and disking. Many cutworms can be destroyed where it is possible to overflow the fields. This is particularly applicable where irrigation is practiced. RELIABLE SEEDS SOW NOW Tr. Os. Pkt.

Eichards, well known to the trade in Los Ange- les and vicinity as the representative of The Eeview, has bought a home and acreage near the Whittier turnpike. Spokane, Wash. — Jesse Buchholz and C. W. Le Eiche have leased the Baugh- man greenhouses and three acres of land at Thirty-fourth avenue, east of Perry street. The lessees will build more greenhouses and will grow stock for the market. SPOKANE, WASH. An order issued by Federal Judge Eudkin April 5 directed that the stock of the Inland Nursery & Floral Co., Washington street and Nora avenue, be sold at auction. The company was de- clared bankrupt, with liabilities esti- mated at $25,000, of which $18,000 is secured by its real estate, principal creditors being the Spokane Merchants' Association and E. J. Eice. It is ex- pected that between $4,000 and $5,000 can be realized from the stock, which includes trees, shrubs, plants and flow- ers. Mrs. Dora M. Lundy is president and principal stockholder in the com- pany and bitterly contested the pro- ceedings. SEATTLE, WASH. Various Notes. The Butler Florists had two extra stores in which to handle their Easter trade, one on First avenue and one on Third avenue. They report fairly good trade at all branches. Eosaia Bros, had a large force of additional help for Easter at their store on Third avenue. They did a big business and had not much stock left over. The Hollywood Gardens took an over- flow store in the downtown district on Second avenue, to help move their stock. M. A. Davis had the store adjoining his own in the Burke building, and handled a large quantity of lilies and potted stock there. M. A. Crouch has opened a flower store in the new market, at First ave- nue and Pike street. This is a first- class location for business and the good wishes of the trade are with him. Eisdon & Son were hampered by the delay in the construction of their place in the Arcade building. Miss Eisdon, however, was doing fair business under the circumstances. Mrs. L. W. McCoy had a large stock of lilies and made a pretty good clean-up. The Harrington Co. was doing big business at both stores. The Burdett Co. occupied most of the sidewalk on First avenue with its extra stock. The Paris Florists, on Pike street, had their hands full in disposing of the big lot of lilies and other stock they had for sale. T. W. LOS ANQELES, OAL. The Market. The usual slump after a good holi- day did not occur here. On the con- trary, some fine wedding decorations and a large amount of funeral work have kept stock well cleaned up and the retailers all busy. While the deco- rations at the charity ball were largely carried out by ladies connected with the management, yet there was a big call for flowers and corsages. The heavy rains have damaged the outdoor flowers somewhat, which helps to clean up indoor stock. This is plentiful in nearly all lines, and of good quality. The only decided shortage is in orchids, and other flowers have in some, cases to be substituted for these. Early Cattleya Mossise and C. Schroederae are the best offerings, but several of the evergreen dendrobiums, white phalsenopsis and a few vandas are also seen. Valley is quite plentiful and of good quality; the prices are shaded a little by some wholesalers. Jonquils are the latest addition to the bulbous stock, and, as usual, they are showy and serviceable. Tulips are magnificent now and the shortage in yellows no longer exists. Fine flow- ers of Coreopsis grandiflora and some excellent gladioli are among the later offerings, as well as huge bunches of ornithogalum, which are fine for large decorations and window displays.

Brink's new cafe, where 500 guests sat down. The room was finely decorated with palms and other plant stock. Another order, which comes his way annually, was for the memorial services of the Loyal Order of Moose and here about 3,000 attended; the decorations were in white roses, Easter lilies and palms. H. E. Eichards. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. With the Easter rush over, every- thing is back to normal again and there is a smile of satisfaction on every side. Business was slow in get- ting started and it was really Satur- day before orders commenced to loom up; then it taxed the clerks to the ut- most to handle the crowds, as competent extra salesmen are usually hard to get. There was plenty of stock of all kinds and popular prices prevailed, so little was left over. Lilies were the best sellers, while hydrangeas, rhodo- dendrons, ramblers and basket effects moved well. Automobile delivery proved its effi- ciency over the old system and we often wonder how we stayed in the old rut so long. Various Notes. Martin & Forbes had a big decora- tion at the Multnomah hotel recently, the largest social event of the season. Blooming plants and flowers were used extensively in the ball room. John Kleger is confined to his home with a severe attack of rheumatism. S. Goodfriend, representing Wer- theimer Bros., was in town recently. E. E. C SAN FBANCI8C0, OAL. The Market. Now that Easter is past and the hurry is over, we can calmly survey the field and count the spoils. The weather was perfect, with plenty of warm sunshine and every inducement to the flower loving public to see the splendid window decorations and pur- chase their favorite blossoms. The amount of stock carried has never been exceeded either in quantity or quality. Lilies were everywhere and there was a first-class stock of azaleas, rhodo- dendrons, spiraeas, ericas, primulas and mixed baskets and pans of half a dozen sizes and shapes. The azaleas, especially the light colors, were among the most popular articles and, following these, tulips, spiraeas and mixed favors were in demand. Ferns and palms did not seem to move so well, but potted roses were only in half the supply called for. Prices were about the same as those of one year ago, with the possible ex- ception of carnations and roses, which were a shade cheaper. Although it is yet rather early to have complete re- ports from all the wholesalers, the gen- eral opinion is that we sold fully as much stock this season as we did one year ago. Various Notes.

The Market. The market following Easter week was again in an overcrowded condi- tion; 80 much so, in fact, that a great •leal of stock was dumped or sent to the hospitals in order to make room for the fresh flowers. Prices have been greatly reduced, and the retailer with ^ big job on his handjs can buy at al- most his own price. The downtown florists were trying to undersell each other last week, with prices like these: Sweet peas, 5 cents a bunch of twenty- five; carnations, 15 cents per dozen; roses, 25 cents per dozen, and pretty good quality of stock at that.

Kirkwood growers last week loaded this market with sweet peas, carnations and violets. All four wholesale houses received their share from these grow- ers. These large consignments had to be disposed of and prices kept going down to almost nothing. Club Meeting. The St. Louis Florists' Club held its regular monthly meeting on Thursday afternoon, April 11, in Odd Fellows' hall. The meeting was poorly attended, owing to the fact that many were too busy with planting. When President Windier called the meeting to order there were only fourteen present. The trustees reported that the last exhibition of the club, held at Kuehn's wholesale house, was a big success, and they advised that the club give another exhibition in the fall and one in mid- winter. A vote of thanks was extended to C. A. Kuehn for the use of his show room for the exhibition. All other business of importance was laid over until the May meeting, when a larger attendance is expected. Treasurer Smith reported that the club 's finances were in a healthy con- dition. E, W. Guy, of Belleville, was pres- ent and was requested to lead a discus- sion on ' ' Summer Cut Flowers, ' ' which was much enjoyed. Messrs. Sander, Fillmore, Pilcher, Windier, Bergster- mann and Ogle took part in the dis- cussion and some interesting facts were brought out during the hours of talk. The president announced that at the May meeting J. F. Ammann, of Ed- wardsville, would lead a discussion on ^'Eelations of the Wholesaler, Eetailer and Grower." In this he will be as- sisted by A. S. Halstead for the grower, Otto Sander for the retailer and William C. Smith for the whole- saler. This promises to be one of the most interesting discussions on the pro- gram and the men selected for the purpose know well how to talk on these points. This meeting will take place on Thursday afternoon. May 9, at 2 o 'clock, and a request will be sent out to all the members to make ar- rangements to be present at this meeting. Various Notes. The Missouri Botanical Garden, bet- ter known the world over as Shaw's Garden, will open its gates to the pub- lic every Sunday from 2 p. m. to sunset. It was so decided by the directors of the garden at a meeting held early in the week. F. N. Judson, attorney for the trustees, returned an opinion that the sense of the will of the late Henry Shaw would not be violated by having the garden open on Sundays other than the two specified by Mr. Shaw, whose purpose in closing the garden on Sun- days was to insure his employees one day of rest each week, and the will apparently does not forbid Sunday opening with provisions made for extra help. Kester Halstead was elected alder- ' man at Belleville, 111., last week. Mr. Halstead is the son of A, S. Halstead, president of the St. Clair Floral Co. and ex-mayor of Belleville. The young man also is interested in the St. Clair Floral Co. and is well known to local members of the trade, who were all pleased at his success.

The florists' business has been good here all winter, with an unusually large quantity of funeral work, in which all the four florists have had an equal share. Northern jobbers should wake up to the fact that the sunny south is not the slow, easy-going proposition it used to be, as the people are refined, edu- cated and have traveled, and are ap- preciative of quality and are willing to pay for quality goods, but resent sleepy or inferior stock. Too much of 'that class of stock has been sent here in the past and some day jobbers are going to get badly stung for trying to run it oflF. Three ranges of glass in a town of 12,000 is going some, but for all that two more firms are going to erect green- houses. Zach. Rice is going to put in a small range in West Paris, and the Paris Plant & Flower Co. is going to build a modern range near Evergreen cemetery. Mr. Goree is contemplating adding one or two more houses to his already large range. He has had as fine carnations this season as ever were shipped in from the north. The Progressive Club has taken up civic improvement and expects to en- list the cooperation of the florists, who should by all means cooperate in the movement, as it will undoubtedly im- prove business conditions and create an increased demand for flowers and plants.

A TELFPHONE TALK. [Ooncluded from page 15.] to such conduct, and, after again asking the number wanted and failing to get a civil reply, she goes on about her busi- ness, answers one or two other calls and then again replies to A's frantic signal. A finally gets his number, but is so unreasonably angry and gruff, that B, not knowing about A's difficulties, is gruff in reply, with the result that the tempers of both are ruffled and A fails to get anywhere near as close attention and good stock as he would if other methods and tactics had been used. The Bight Way. It is a 100-to-l chance that if A proceeded somewhat as follows, his re- sults would be much more satisfactory: On removing the receiver from the hook, he waits a few seconds for the operator to answer. Failing to get her reply, he realizes that she is probably busy, but to get her attention he slowly moves the hook up and down, thus giv- ing a signal that is quickly seen with- out arousing any antagonism' on the part of the operator, and she answers immediately. In a remarkably short time A is talking to B and, because of A's polite and courteous manner, B does his best to please and there is sat- isfaction all around. The main point to be remembered is this: In telephone usage, the tone and manner of speech, and the choice of words has everything to do with the feeling created. The spoken word and its inflection conveys whatever impres- sion each party gets of the others. Un- der such conditions, courtesy both on the part of the operating force and the public is like oil to machinery, — neces- sary to prevent friction. A Few Suggestions. Stop and think a minute. Would you rush into an office or up to the door of a residence and blurt out "Hello! Hello 1 Who am I talking tof" and then, when you received a reply, follow up your wild, discourteous salutation with "I don't want you; get out of my way. I want to talk with Mr. Jones." Would yout That is merely a sample of the impolite and impatient conversations that the telephone trans- mits many times a day. There is a most agreeable mode of beginning a telephone conversation which many people are now adopting, because it saves useless words and is, at the same time, courteous and direct. It runs thus: The telephone bell rings, and the per- son answering it says: "Morton & Co., Mr. Baker speaking. ' ' The person call- ing then says: "Mr. Wood, of Curtis & Sons, wishes to talk with Mr. White." When Mr. White picks up the receiv- er, he knows Mr. Wood is on the other end of the line, and without any un- necessary and undignified "Hello's," he at once greets him with the refresh- ingly courteous salutation: "Good morning, Mr. Wood." That savors of the genial handshake that Mr. Wood would have received had he called in person upon Mr. White. Undoubtedly there would be a far higher degree of telephone courtesy, particularly in the way of reasonable consideration for the operators, if the "face-to-face" idea were more gener- ally held in mind. The fact that a line of wire and two shining instruments separate you from the person with whom you are talking, takes none of the sting out of unkind words. A few other good things to keep in mind are these: Be ready to talk -when the party you have called answers, avoiding as far as possible having the office boy or others get parties on the telephone for you. Do not leave any one to "hold the wire" unnecessarily while you are at- tending to other work or where you could make it easier for them by call- ing them back after you have the de- sired information. Do not leave any one in doubt as to whether you have completed your part of the conversation. If you do he will be liable to think he was cut off and will probably have to call you again in order to make sure he was not. This situation is more common than you might suppose. These and other features smooth the way in telephone practice. Make, of your telephone manner, an asset, not a liability!

The executive committee of the American Eose Society and representa- tive rose growers held a meeting in New York, specially called to confer with the representatives of the depart- ment of parks of the city of Hartford, Conn., relative to establishment of a test rose garden. The following reso- lution was passed: "Eesolved, That the offer of the department of parks of the city of Hartford, Conn., to es- tablish a rose garden for testing new roses as the official testing ground of the American Eose Society, be ac- cepted." Alexander Gumming, head gardener, stated that the park department pro- poses to take land and make a garden, to place roses of all varieties therein for development. Any and all roses sent to the garden will be guarded with the best of care. The following rules were discussed and were adopted: 1. Roses sent for testing sbould Include five plants of each variety of the bedding types; two plants each of the climbing and pillar types. 2. Plants can be shipped dormant or growing in pots. 3. Two-year-old plants are most desirable. 4. A record for filing should accompany each variety, stating name or number of variety, classification, parentage, age of plant, and whether worked on stock or on own roots. 6. Test varieties will remain in the garden for a period covering two growing seasons, when they can be Judged the second season if necessary. The after disposal of the plants will be optional between the exhibitor and the authorities, the exhibits being returned or given a permanent place in the garden as far as possible. 6. Each variety will be labeled by number until judged, when a painted label stating name or number of variety, the introducer and award will be posted permanently. 7. Exhibits will be inspected by judges ap- pointed by the American Rose Society at a designated time, and awards will be officially given according to merit. The park authorities will take due precaution to protect exhibits from vandalism and dissemination, and give the garden every cultural attention possible. 8. A new rose shall be considered one which has not been disseminated for a period longer than three years. The official scale of points for judg- ing outdoor roses is as follows: Flo- riferousness, 20; vigor, 20; color, 15; size, 15; form, 10; substance, 10; fra- grance, 10, Medals and Certificates. A gold medal for the best new rose not yet disseminated, whether of do- mestic or foreign origin. Exhibits to be judged by the official scale of the American Eose Society and no gold medal to be awarded to any rose scor- ing less than ninety-five points. A silver medal is offered at the same time and under the same conditions for a novelty scoring not less than eighty- five points. A certificate of merit is awarded to all novelties scoring eighty points. It is further ordered that the com- plete scores of all the entries in the competition be filed with the secretary of the American Eose Society before the award of any medal is confirmed. The executive committee of the American Eose Society reserves to it- self the right of selection of the judges who shall pass upon the exhibits in the competition for these medals. Benj.

Beauties and all varieties of roses are of good quality. Carnations have short- ened up a little, while sweet peas are more than enough to go around. Some first-class snapdragon is to be seen. Orchids are plentiful, but do not find ready sale. Bulbous stock is still plen- tiful. Some outdoor narcissi have made their appearance. Smilax _ is scarce. Blooming plants are plentiful, some first-class azaleas, hydrangeas, ramblers and spiraeas being obtainable. ■ Various Notep. ■ .

The foliage is large, does not take mil- dew and resembles the foliage of the Holly. The flowers give great satisfaction twelve months In the year. The flowers have splendid keeping qualities. The plants cut as many flowers as the Killamey — stems averaging one grade longer. Crops every live weeks in Mid-Winter, with an inter- mediate crop, making a continuous cut of flowers all Winter. Spring, Summer and Fall the flowers keep their shape and size, and the plants flower most abundantly. The plants can be grown satisfactorily in any Rose House, whether heated by steam or hot water. The plants have very little Blind Wood. In Mid- Winter, instead of making Blind Wood, they throw out flowers. The plants improve the second, third and fourth year —improving with age.

The date that usually brings our last frost is past, and now it is spring in earnest. I cut the first outdoor rose, a Teplitz, on the morning of April 3, Texas has had an abundance of rain — a slow, steady soaking and extended over a long period. Our winter has been the coldest in many years, but plant life, now rested and vigorous, is bounding into leaf and bloom with un- usual rapidity. The greenhouse people have had the best winter of their lives; there was plenty of stock and a ready market. Austin has found herself as the car- nation center for the state, as our va- ried soil and soft, clear river water are such as to satisfy all the plants' de- mands. H. B. B. Middletown, N.

The season just ending has been a discouraging one to the violet grow- ers of this vicinity, particularly in the months of January, February and March, when the demand for violets was slack and coal bills were extraor- dinarily large, so that about all the receipts went up the chimney. Quite a number of violet houses are for sale or to rent this spring at reasonable terms. Professor Donald Eeddick, of the New York State College of Agricul- ture, at Cornell University, has been spending a week here, investigating the cause of root-rot and other diseases to which the violet plant is subject, and suggesting remedies. Eoot-rot is the worst disease the violet growers have to contend with. S. R. F. A-1 Stock Fuch8la8,the best named varieties. $1.00 per 100; $9.00 per 1000.

After Easter, which was quite satis- factory, came springlike weather, bringing a deluge of stock, which the utmost efforts of the wholesalers failed to move. Prices took a tumble on the best of it and the poorer grades went where they belong in times of a glut. The retailers all say trade has been good and they have used large quan- tities of stock, but it is only a drop in the bucket compared with the quan- tity coming in. Various Notes. The flower shows in the city parks are still commanding the attention of visitors from this city and the sur- rounding country. The Florists' Club was certainly given a treat by Prof. Brashear at the last meeting. His lecture brought a large attendance and the luncheon afterward was an enjoyable feature. A few growers were gathered in one of the wholesale houses discussing bulb growing. Evidently none of them have made any money in bulbs this season and it was their verdict that there are too many bulbs grown in this sec- tion. Fred Burki met with a painful and somewhat serious accident just before Easter, when he injured his foot. This has kept him confined to his home, but he thinks it is showing improve- ment, although it will be some time be- fore he will be able to do much walk- ing. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bayersdorfer, Philadelphia, were visitors last week. De Forest Ludwig, who was home for the Easter holidays, has returned to Cornell to complete his course. California privet seems to be quite generally killed this winter, some old hedges suffering more than the newly planted ones. Hoo-Hoo. Weymouth, N. J. — Chas. C. Brown, known as "The Gatherer of All Deco- rative Supplies," such as holly, pine, sphagnum, etc., has closed his establish- ment here, but expects to resume busi- ness soon at some other location.

Edison is a hard-headed man, and he has hard-headed men about him. They do not fall for the "salve" that is the greatest weakness of a large class of publications. A few weeks ago the Edison Stor- age Battery Co. began a series of ad- vertisements in a number of publica- tions, exploiting a new battery. This is the way last week's advertisement begins: "If you will procure a map, draw a lot of dotted radial lines from Orange as the center, and extending to the farthermost parts of the United States, each dot will denote a representative of some advertising medium on his way to cajole our venerable gate keeper, Kennedy, into passing him up to my office. The avalanche started the day after the first announcement of this series of letters. I have been compelled to disappoint them. "Several gentlemen were especially insistent. Offered to guarantee as much matter in the reading columns as would appear in the advertising pages! "I remember the feeling of disgust and misplaced confidence that pervaded me when, as a boy, I read an interest- ing article on some subject which proved to be an advertisement, adroitly worded, in the reading columns of a paper to which my father was a sub- scriber. It is needless to say those 'guaranteed reading matter' men did not sell any space. I lacked confidence in their papers. "The reading matter and advertis- ing columns of a paper should have 'Divorce' written between them. "I suppose you are wondering what all this has to do with a storage bat- tery. There is no connection. I sim- ply wish to state to some of those who may be preparing to make a journey to Orange to save us from ruin by ad- vising us how to spend our money that we do not wish to purchase any more space at present, and when we do we will make the selection and expect to pay for what we get. "I only wish the publicity graft evil could be eradicated from all the papers as it is from some of them. People are interested in reading of a successful man, new products, etc. The lauda- tions should, however, emanate from an unprejudiced pen. Properly edited, the press is the nation's greatest power for good. It has the confidence of the pub- lic, and should not abuse it. "Now let us get down to business." Trenton, N. J. — ^Wm. W.

Send for Oatalocue A Steady Pressure will always be main- tained in vour steam pipes, no matter how the pressure at the boiler fluctuates, if you equip your main lines with these valves. Carry 40 or 60 pounds pressure on the boiler, set the Hughson Regulating Valve to carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line and you will always have a reserve in case of a sudden drop in temperature. This valve saves both fuel and worry. Ask for catalogue and particulars. Hnghion Stetm Specialty Ci. S021-3 S. SUte St, Ckktgi ''For aoick Results It Has Them All Beat'' So says H.

As a rule, the sj'stem should be capable of standing at least forty pounds, and often: the tanks used are guaranteed for 200 pounds. The pressure should range between these two points. The lower the pressure, the greater will be the economy in heating, and at the same time the greater will be the expense of installing the system. F. R. STEAM OB HOT WATER? Will you please tell us which heating system, steam or hot water, is better adapted for the northern latitudes, where the thermometer sometimes reg- isters about 35 to 40 degrees below zero, and the inside temperature should be 60 or 75 degrees at night? M. & L. Whether hot water or steam should be used will depend largely upon the size of the plant, as hot water is usually considered better for small ranges and steam for large ones. Generally speak- ing, it is advisable to use steam only in greenhouse plants large enough to warrant the employment of a night fireman. In particularly severe cli- mates, the difference in the cost of the piping for steam, as compared with that for hot water, might make it desirable to use steam even in comparatively small ranges. For ranges of 10,000 square feet and upwards, steam can generally be used with good success, but hot water usually is recommended where it can be used. F. R. Bellefontaine, O. — There is a pretty story going the rounds of the local newspapers to the effect that rats were eating the stock of John Stelzig and defied all attempts at their capture un- til he began baiting his traps with car- nations instead of cheese.

The 1912 Easter has passed, leaving pleasant recollections behind. The de- mand was better than for any previous year, with plentj^ of excellent stock to supply it, while prices were about as usual for this season of the year. Among the cut flowers offered were roses, carnations, violets, lily of the valley, daisies, hyacinths, daffodils, tu- lips and sweet peas, while blooming plants found their usual ready sale. In lilies, Formosa and giganteum were offered, both varieties cleaning up nicely. In addition to these, there were some splendid plants of spiraea, both pink and white, Baby Eamblers, daisies, hyacinths, daffodils, tulips and some unusually good geraniums in 4- inch and 5-inch pots, which seem to sell at any time. After weeks of uncertainty and meanness, the weather behaved splen- didly for the latter part of Easter week, and the balmy days were much appreciated by all connected with the florist business. Since Easter outdoor conditions have remained pleasant, and all vegetation is starting in with a rush to make up for lost time. Much potted hardy stock could not stand for the severe winter, and the owners are busily hunting duplicates. On account of the peculiar season and the time of Eas- ter this year, the outdoor work at the greenhouse plants has not had the at- tention that it usually receives by this time, but soil conditions are splendid, and everything seems to be starting with a rush for a fine spring business. Various Notes. Charles P. Mueller displayed some excellent Baby Eamblers and pink and white spiraea for Easter. Mr. Bracken- bury put forth some special effort and arranged an attractive interior in this store for Easter week. W. H. Gulp & Co. relieved the con- gestion at their downtown store by renting a vacant room directly across Main street, which they used to store surplus stock until needed, and for fill- ing and delivering orders. This firm showed a splendid lot of giganteums. John Smith, of Lawrence, Kan., was in the city recently. Harry Mueller surprised his parents by dropping in for a visit during Eas- ter week. Mr. and Mrs. R. Gulp are getting settled in a coz}' new bungalow in West Eiverside. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey McCoy are wearing smiles over the arrival of a new daughter in their household. E.G.

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton duck, and with specially selected rubber in the inner tube and cover. , The woven jacket constructton makes a stronger hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on cotton duck. ■ This construction also gives a more flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. ' "Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting pressure is far in excess of this. PHILADELPHIA. Pk. PITTSBURGH. PA CHICA60.ILL. PORTLAND. ORE.

Usually there is a lull after the Eas- ter rush, yet, contrary to rules, this year parties, dances, luncheons and dinners are in full swing, having re covered from the lethargy of the lenten season, and these with numer- ous funerals made last week a busy one. Corsages sold best, because of the numerous dancing parties given by high school and college organiza- tions. Therefore, there was a big de- mand for sweet peas, gardenias, or- chids, valley, pansies, etc. Roses were not so much sought for. Plants were pretty well cleaned out ai Easter, so that now there is little variety anfl there are few really good flowering p^nts. Fancy baskets filled with cut flowers are selling well in- stead of plants. Boston ferns are quite scarce and it is hard to get good ones. Violets are quite poor and are falling off in demand. Valley is scarce. Roses are all in good condition. Beau- ties are only fair, and the price is down once more. Club Meeting. The Rochester Florists' Association met in the hall at 97 East Main street Monday evening, April 8. Since this was the Monday following Easter, there were but few present. The prin- cipal feature of the evening was a talk on "Fall Pruning of Trees and Shrubs," by Assistant Superintendent of Parks John Dunbar, president of the association. Former President George B. Hart presided while Mr. Dunbar addressed the association. It was decided to invite the Syra- cuse Florists' and Rose Association to come to Rochester and inspect the lilacs in Highland park when they are in bloom next month. Interest is not waning in the bowl- ing club. It meets every two weeks, and there are plans under way for an outing next summer. Various Notes. The backward spring has retarded garden work of all kinds; consequently seeds are not selling well as yet. Horace Head spent the week's end at Hilton, N. Y. In spite of the fact that Easter was a rainy, disagreeable day, George .1. Keller delivered several wagonloads of plants into Mt. Hope cemetery, to be used for the decoration of graves. One of Harry P. Neun's large plate glass windows was cracked by the high wind last week, and it had to be propped up to hold it in place until a new glass could be set. Charles Sharpe is now working for Mr. Neun. Miss Myrtie Bradstreet is expected home from Florida about May 1. Charles A. Green, of the Green nurs eries, has returned from the southland with glowing reports of the fine country. E. C. A. BENCHES TILK or PIPS PRAMS Write for prices. Drainage perfect TILE BOnOMS "'"•!'...

Inquiries coming to the office of The K'cvievv, by mail, by telephone, and even one by wire, indicate that there is un- . crtainty in the trade as to the date of :\I others' day. It is the second Sunday in May — always. That makes the date this year May 12. THE STORY OF MOTHERS' DAY. It Is Four Years Old. Mothers' day broke out sporadically all over the United States in 1908. It took florists by surprise, for none had heard of it before, and many wrote to The Review for information. But the iiuiuiries then received have been as nothing compared to the questions and suggestions that came in following sea- sons, and especially this year, showing how the interest is growing. That first year, when The Review undertook to trace the origin of Moth- ers' day and find what it all was about, it ])roved no easy task. The Federa- tion of Women's Clubs, when appealed to at that time, disclaimed responsi- bility, but said, "it's a fine idea." Officials of the Congress of Moth^^s ' replied, ' ' We have no record of Moth- ers' day, but the idea is good; we shall call attention to it at our next annual meeting." Finally', the search for the founder of the day led, through the city «'ditor of a Chicago dailv, to Miss Anna •hfrvis, 2031 North Twelfth street, Phii- Jidelphia, who confessed to having con- • eived the idea in the desire to com- memorate the anniversary of her moth- i'l's ileath. It was not only the thought of laying some flowers on mother's jiiiive, but it occurred to her that it would be a beautiful tribute to all moth- <'rs, the living as well as the dead, if their children, on a given day, would unite in the simple wearing of white (lowers. She wrote a letter about it to a Philadelphia newspaper early in 1908, and it was this that caused Mothers' enditure, turning a deaf ear to sug gestions of contributions to assist her in further exj)loitation. She said that if funds and assistance were not forth- 3C 3C 3C 3C 33 How Florists Can Help. Every florist can, and should, help push along the Mothers ' day observ- ance. It can be done in many ways. As a beginning, take space in your best local paper for a Mothers' day advertisement. Advertise strongly; it's planting good seed on welf prepared ground. / Enlist the aid of the eilitors; they will help you push the work along. Arrange a special Mothers ' day win- dow display; at least put Mothers' day cards, nicely lettered, in your window. Talk Mothers' day to your custom- ers. Then, too, you can go as far as you like with the Woman 's Club, the churches, the Y. M. C. A. and the fra- ternal societies. The idea appeals to all classes. Perhaps you can get the mayor, or Mothers' Day Window Decoration by a Virginia Florist. coming she would be compelled to cease her effort — but if the florists didn't stop jumping their prices for Mothers' day, she said, she would send out one more recommendation, substituting a button or a ribbon for the flower as the emblem of the day. Clearly, the florists have litle pros- pect of further aid in popularizing tbo day — they have got to do it themselves, bv advertising. even the governor, to issue a Mothers ' day proclamation; others have, and the motherless daughters of some officials have written letters to the newspapers. Get busy — think up something to help the day along. Don't let the people in your locality overlook the approach of a day that has had more gratuitous ad vertiping than any other flower day ever had; dozens of big publications have lately printed articles that we can nov turn into cash. 10 The Weekly Florists' Review. APBiL 25, 1912. THESE TOOK THE HINT. Working Up Mothers' Day. It is not often fortune favors the florists the way it has with Mothers' day — the second Sunday in May. But the trade should not depend wholly on the fact that the sentiment which inspired Mothers' day has ap- pealed to the great American people as nothing else has done in recent years — we should grasp our opportunity and do our utmost to acquaint the public with the purpose of this annual event: ' ' To honor the best mother who ever lived — your own." There are many ways it can be done — but none of these ways includes raising prices. Don't do that; reduce them, if anything. Last year Mothers' day, always the second Sunday in the month, came May 14. In its issue of April 27 The Re- view urged its readers to work for the success of the day and suggested some of the things that could be done. The following are extracts from a few of the many letters received later in the month, telling how easily it came: Cleveland, O. Does advertising pay? Ask any flo- rist in Cleveland and the answer will be in the affirmative. The plan of co- operative advertising had its first try- out in preparation for . Mothers ' day and it is the consensus of opinion that it was a howling success. Practically all the florists contribut- ed to a fund. With it a committee had banners painted and placards printed advertising Mothers' day and these were spread broadcast throughout the city. Delivery wagons of every descrip- tion bore one of the cloth mgns read- ing: "Remember Mothers' day, May 14. Wear a flower in her honor." In many of the store windows other than those of florists were cards inscribed with the words: "Mothers' day, Sun- day, May 14. As a token of love for her, wear some flower on this national day." Other cards read: "Flowers for mother. Don't fail to send some floral remembrance to mother for Mothers' day, Sunday, May 14." Needless to say, there were not half enough white carnations and other stock was also short of the demand. Every store in town was completely cleared of stock by Sunday noon and everybody was satisfied. In the third year of its existence. Mothers' day is already one of the big days of the year. C. D. Fell. Batesville, Ind. I took "The Story of Mothers' Day," as it appeared in The Review, and had it printed as a neat 4-page cir- cular, the title, date and my name and address on the front page, the story on the center two pages, and my Moth- ers ' day prices for flowers on the fourth page. Also I clipped from The Re- view the advertisement suggested for pushing Mothers' day, running it in the local paper and printing it on a card to be distributed with the folder. The one thing I neglected, however, was to secure an adequate supply of flow- ers— couldn't anywhere near meet the demand I worked up. Dolph E. Moore. Boston, Mass. We are sending herewith a copy of our first Mothers' day advertisement. You will note we adopted your sug- gestion about A white flower for Mother's memory. A bright flower for Mothers living. Only we changed the phraseology a little. The results were GREAT, and we think it will be of interest to your readers. Penn the Florist. Kansas City, Mo. We not only advertised Mothers' day but called in the newspaper reporters and got them to run stories based on your write-up of the day in The Re- view. We did not overlook using your A white flower for Mother's memory. A bright flower for Mothers living. Mothers' day in our estimation will be one of the leaders. Within six or seven years, we believe it will become second of the flower buying days, if not first. Our sales this year were over fifty per cent increase from last year, comparing Mothers' day and the two days before. * Alpha Floral Co. Bellefontaine, O. Saturday and Sunday we sold 1,275 carnations, the largest sale of carna- tions ever made in Bellefontaine, with a population of 8,238. It was better than one flower for every seventh person in town. We did it by advertising Moth- ers' day along the lines suggested by The Review. J. E. Stelzig. Macon, Oa. We got our leading local paper to re- print "The Story of Mothers' Day" newspapers and an article showing how generally the day was observed this year, thinking they may be of use to you in pushing this day. We adopted The Review's suggestion in this matter and are pleased to report fine results. Geo. M. Geraghty, Mgr., For John H. Dunlop. Seattle, Wash. Acting upon the suggestion of The Review, we took up the subject of Mothers' day. We first secured an edi- torial in a leading paper, which we promptly followed with an almost ver- batim copy of the advertisement The Review suggested, of appropriate flow- ers for this day, including: A white flower for Mother's memory. A bright flower for Mothers living. We are more than gratified to be able to say to you that we were entirely sold out both on Saturday and Sunday. The custom certainly took splendidly, and Mothers ' day is now on our regular annual holiday list. We often find and appropriate many useful suggestions in your paper and wish to compliment you on its efficiency. L. W. McCoy. Canton, O. I gave 3,000 carnations to the churches and hospitals, distributing them Saturday. The local papers gave Mothers' day a strong write-up (I sent for them and gave them The Re- view's account of the origin of the day to work on) and the day certainly brought a much larger call for flowers Wear a Hower for Mother's Sake To honor the best Mother whp ever lived — your own. That is the purpose of Mothers' Day, SUNDAY, MAY 12 A white flower for Mother's memory. A bright flower for Mothers living. We shall be prepared Saturday, May 11, and Sunday, May 12, with a large assortment of fine, fresh flowers, appropriate for Mothers' Day, offered at our usual moderate prices.

[The Ad suggested by Tlie Review, used last year with great success by Florists In all parts of the country. 3 as it appeared in The Review of April 27 and we took the advertisement The Review suggested, containing the lines: A white flower for Mother's memory.

"White flowers had first call, but bright flowers had an even larger sale, for there were more of them. The Review is entitled to credit for showing the trade how to popularize the flay so quickly. Idle Hour Nurseries. Toronto, Ont. We send herewith our Mothers ' day advertisement from one of our local than we had expected. It will be a big day in 1912. Charles Brown. ADVERTISING MOTHERS' DAY. The best way a florist can advertise Mothers ' day will be to use the columns of the leading paper in his town. The first year that The Review urged florists to take advantage of the opportunities the day affords, an advertisement was suggested that was of a character that any florist can use, either just as it stands, merely inserting his name for "Posey & Blossom," or which he can adapt to his needs by a few minor changes. The advertisement proved a good one. It will be noted in the APRIL 25, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 11 Mother's Day Official Mother*s Day Next Sunday May 14, or Second Sunday in May THIS most beautiful idea and sentiment origi- nated with Miss Annie Janns. of Philadelphia. The happy thought occurred to her that alt mothers, whetner living or dead, should be honored some day, and the second Sunday in May was set aside as Mother's Day.

As a matter of fact, it has been printed for the last two years in newspapers from Maine to Washington, and from Georgia to Cali- fornia. The advertisement is not so good as it would be with the use of an illustration, but any newspaper can set it up on a few minutes' notice. In its use a number of florists have greatly improved on The Eeview's sug- gestion. Most of them have followed the wording more or less closely, the principal improvement being in the dis- play; appropriate cuts help immensely » The original and two of the variations which are decided improvements are re- produced in this issue. What The Re- view considers the best Mothers' day advertisement was that published last year by the Alpha Floral Co., Kansas City. It embodies The Eeview's sug- gestion with a particularly attractive illustration. The other advertisement, published last season by Penn, in Bos- ton, is founded on the same suggestion, Hnd is excellent, but the illustration is uot nearly so good — even if this is the -Mother of a famous painting there is something dispiriting in the illustration, though Penns report splendid results Tom the use of the advertisement. If you haven't a good "mother" illustration, better get one, but print • he advertisement anyhow, cut or no ut. Help push the day along. MOTHERS' DAY WINDOWS. One of the finest things the retail ilorist can do for a special flower day is 1^0 decorate his show window appro- priately. So generally is this fact rec- ognized that for such occasions as Thanksgiving and St. Valentine's day, something of special character usually IS devised, for ideas are easy to com- mand. But for Mothers' day the deco- ration conveying the proper suggestion IS not so easy to devise. The first special Mothers' day win- dow decoration to be shown by photo- graph reaching The Review is the one illustrated on page 9. This was from the small town of Phoebus, in Vir- ginia, and was the work of Mrs. Carrie M. Terry. Mrs. Terry not only deco- rated her window, but she obtained write-ups for Mothers' day in her local papers, at the same time printing the advertisement The Review suggested, using a space of seven inches across three columns, and not forgetting the lines: A white flower for Mother's memory. A bright flower for Mothers IlTlng. The photograph of the window deco- ration is not a good one; as with most photographs made through plate glass, it shows more in the reflection of what is across the street than it does of what is back of the glass. But the illustra- tion will give an idea from which oth- ers can work up something suited to their needs. In the center of the win- dow is a large framed card, with the heading "Mother" and beneath it the same famous picture of the sorrowful lady who appears in the advertisement of Penn reproduced on this page. Be- neath the picture was the following: It Is a wonderful thing, a mother; Other folks can love you But only your mother understands. She works for you, Looks after you, LoveB you, Forgives you anything you may do. Understands you, and then the Only thing bad she ever does to you Is to die and leave you. At the left in the window is a large card headed "Mothers' day, the sec- ond Sunday in May. Wear a flower in honor of your mother, the best mother who ever lived." This had a cut of a carnation on it. Phoebus is in the region of cape flower designs and in the window there were two of this material, one a wreath and one a cross, each bearing the script word ' * Mother. ' ' With a dove on each design, a ribbon was stretched between the two birds and carrying the lettering MOTHERS' DAY SUNDAY, MAY 14 The sweetest thought In aU the human emotions is the thought of Mother MOTHER'S DAY— officially throughout the UNITED STATES, is next Sunday, MAY 14th.

The back of the window was filled with such stock as was on hand. CommentinfT on the window, Mrs. Terrv savs: "The card with the old lady and the 'poem' was quite an at- traction, as many people told their friends about it, causing others to come to read it. I was complimented more than once on the idea." GERANIUMS TURNING BLACK. Will you ]dease let nu> know what is the matter with some of our geraniums? Hero and there in the benches we find them turning black soon after they have been potted into 4-inch pots, while those next to them are healthy and growing. They start turning black from the bottom and keep on until they are dead. Any information would be grate- fully received. L- W. You are either overwatering your ge- raniums after potting, potting them too deeplv. or using too much manure in your soil. Any one of these causes would account "for the plants turning black, or a combination of the three might be the reason for it. After pot- ting, water rather sparingly until the plants are rooting freely around the sides of the pots. Vour jjotting me- dium should not contain manure that is at all fresh. Well decayed cow manure can be used, or spent hotbed or mush- room manure. Fine bone should always be used when giving the final shift. It does not produce rank, soft growth, like the animal manures, but plants growing in it make firm, short-jointed wood, which flowers with great free- dom, and, of course, about all custom- ers prefer plants carrying flowers. GERANIUMS DOING POORLY. Please advise me about my gerani- ums. I have a))out 500 in 4-inch pots, which were tloing nicely when they were put on a ground bed, but I was afraid that if 1 left them there they would send roots into the ground. Then, when 1 wanted to sell them, tearing the roots from the black ground underneath them would cause them to wilt and be unsalable. T also have about 2..J00 in a house with benches and bottom heat, which I do not think are doing as well as they ought to. They seem to have too many yellow leaves. Thev were taken from 2Vj-inch pots about four weeks ago and put in 4-inch pots. Would you advise feeding them with liquid manure? Tf so, how often and how strong should I use it? Any advice will be appreciated. I forgot to tell you, in speaking of those oOO on the ground bed, that 1 put i/.-inch lumber under them and set the pots on this, so the pots have no dish or sand under them. A. J. F. It would be much better for the plants if they were stood on sand or coal ashes. Never mind if they do send a few roots into the beds. You will be giving them a fresh stand every ten davs at this season, or should do so at any rate, and this will jirevent them from rooting in too much. F'robably the plants showing the yellow foliage are l)eing allowed to dry out too much. (Jeraniums, except when rooting, do not need any bottom heat, and if you have a good layer of fine coal ashes to place below them, any little bottom heat will not harm them. You should not at- tempt any feeding until you are sure the plants are well rooted. Then, if they are potbound and root-hungry, give weak doses of nitrate of soda wa- ter once a week. ITsually two applica- tions tone them up. Soot water is also good. Liquid manure produces a soft growth. A sprinkling of fine New Book Just Out. bone on the surface of each pot is a distinct help. C. W. ALBUM OF DESIGNS. It has been the practice of many flo- rists to cli|i from The Review the illus- trations of funeral designs, wedding decorations and other pictures which might be of assistance in showing a l)ropective customer just what the flo- rist expected to do on an order. Many letters have come to The Review sug- gesting that an album of these illus- trations be prepared, to make a better showing than the florist could do with his scrapbook. It was explained that there has been need for a means of showing the prospective customer just what the florist can do on an order for an article which it is impossible to show in its completed state at the time of taking the order. In response to these requests. The Review has pub. lished the Album of Designs. The vol- ume now is in the bindery and books will be ready for mailing Saturday, April 27. Nearly 300 designs and die orations are included in the album, it is complete, showing all the standard designs and many new ones heretofore unpublished. The cuts are printed mi heavy glazed i)aper and the book is bound in long-wearing covers. There is no advertising in the book — nothing; but the name of the publisher on cover and title page. Since the album is puli lished to meet the needs of the trade, no restrictions are placed on its sale, and the price is a popular one. Single copies will be seiit postpaid on receijit of 75 cents, or a dozen copies will be sent by express for $6. Many florists who have agents throughout their sur- rounding territory will want to equip each agent with this invaluable aid in taking orders. ASSOCIATION OF GARDENERS. The spring meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of Gardeners was held at Philadelphia April 15. Action was taken on what the association 's reward should be for meritorious exhibits at its meetings, and it was decided that a certificate of merit would be the highest award with- in the gift of the association. Following an invitation extended by Anton Bauer, representing the Elberou Horticultural Society of New Jersey, to participate in its summer show, to be held at Asbury Park July 3 to 6, the association tendered the P. Hamilton Goodsell cup, valued at $150, as a prize for the best collection of twenty-five foliage plants, palms and ferns in eluded, in not over 8-inch pots. The association will ofl'er the William Klein heinz cup, valued at $50, for the best collection of sweet peas in not less than twelve varieties, and not less than twenty-five sprays to the vase, exhibited at the sweet pea show of the American Sweet Pea Society, at Boston in July. The contests for these cups are re- stricted to members of the National Association. President Logan appointed Messrs. Kleinheinz, Ebel and Bachelor a com mittee to prepare a special association schedule for the National Flower Show, to be held in New York city in April, 1913. An invitation received from the Elberon Horticultural Society to hold the convention at Asbury Park in con junction with the fall show of the El- beron Society in October will be acted on at the next meeting of the executive committee. John J. Dodds, Anton Bauer and Ben- jamin Wyckofl:, appointed an awards committee to judge the fine exhibits be- fore the meeting, rendered their deci- sion as follows: Certificate of merit to Henry A. Dreer, Inc., for a group of hydrangeas, also for Hydrangea Mme. Radmone; to Charles H. Totty for Carnation Wode- nethe; to William Kleinheinz for Car nation Miss Dimple Widener; to Brant- Hentz Co. for Rose Madison; to Robert Scott & Son for Rose Double Pink Kil larney. Special mention was made of the ex- hibits of John Lewis Childs, Calla EUi- ottiana; Robert Scott & Son, Eose Mel- ody; William Kleinheinz, Calceolaria Wewartiana. Following a suggestion that the asso- ciation each year adopt a favorite [Concluded on pa«re 62.1 APBIL 25, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 ASTERS AT i(? iir IRONDEQUOIT A QUERY AND SOME REPLIES. loll us more about ' ' Asters at Iron- i|(i(iioit" — that is, the manner of pro- , luring high grade bloom for store trade. Tlic illustration and item on page 45 III The Review of March 28, with ref- (iciiee to Mrs. J. M. Pendleton's house ,,r aster plants, are exceedingly inter- i-ring. Are the plants transplanted til the flats or was the seed sown in llats as shown in the illustration? 1 iiiite the plants are set in the field "as ciiily as possible." Is this in order to si'cure early blooms, or is it essential tliat they go out early in order to make sure of a crop? l)o any of your read- iis grow asters under partial shade, as in slatted frames or between rows (if corn, pole beans, sunflowers, etc.? Also under mosquito netting or tobacco cloth? If this method would produce ;i(>od flowers, it would be a good thing hereabouts, as the tarnish plant bug is destructive to asters and dahlias, eating the tender buds while they are (i|>euing out. Columbus, O. E. L. Reply From Mrs. Pendleton. None of the growers here uses the jjreenhouses for asters alone. The plants are only started in the house; then, when ready to be removed to frames outdoors, under glass, they are I'ut out, to make room for other stock. Our early asters, such as Queen of the Market and Snowdrift, are in cold- frames now (April 8), to harden and ^trow stocky before we plant them in the open ground, which we shall do :is early in May as the weather will I'ormit. We never endanger our asters l)y putting them out too early, as the high prices that we might thus be :ible to get for a few early ones would never compensate, in my estimation, for the many lost by frosts. And now as to the picture of my listers which appeared in The Review. When J sent those snapshots of my liouse, the asters, as shown in the boxes '•r flats, had already been transplanted the second and last time. There were ^97 flats in all, with 250 to 375 plants in each flat. This represented no small iimount of labor, I assure you — six weeks of hard work, ten hours a day, \vith five persons transplanting. Much "f the success with asters depends on fhe way they are handled at the be- u'inning. At all times they require rich, well manured soil and a proper amount «f water. No, asters never do well in shaded places; they require an open space, where there is plenty of air and sun- shine. It would be useless to try ^0 grow them between trees. I can not tell anything about the use of mos- quito netting or tobacco cloth in aster •culture, as I have never tried that method or seen it tried. As to the inquirer's troubles with bugs and insects on his asters, I should advise him to use the following solu- tion for spraying: One and one-half pounds of arsenate of lead and one and one-half gallons of lime-sulphur to fifty gallons of water. Mix the arsenate of lead to a creamy consistency with water; then add the lime-sulphur, stir- ring till all lumps are dissolved, and afterward add the water. The lime- sulphur acts as a fungicide. I find that mixture does the work finely and does not injure the foliage in the least. Generally one spraying is sufficient, but another spraying may be given if nee essary. I use the Rex brand of arsenate of lead and lime-sulj)hur, and consider them the best in the market. We shall plant six acres to asters this year. From John Orgar. In reply to the inquiry on ".Vsters at Irondequoit," ' I would say: Sow the seed in flats or on a greenhouse bench. When the tiny plants have grown to the first rough leaf, after the seed leaf, transplant into flats. The early asters are sown about March 1, for outside planting. They should be planted outside as soon as the weather will permit. A little freezing will not hurt them much if they have been har- dened oft' before planting-out time. Jn order to have good flowers, it is best to get the early sorts out as soon as possible, so they can make good growth before the dry weather sets in. Trans- planting makes stronger jdants and more roots, so they will be better able to stand planting out in the field. It is best to sow the late asters a month «)r so later than the others. They can be sown at intervals of two or three weeks, up to about June 1. for a succession of blooms. As soon as the weather will permit, late asters will do best if sown in a coldframe or out in the open, on a well prepared seed bed. if started in that way, they would also be better for transidanting. The land should be well mayured and plowed the fall before, if i)ossible. When the plants have started to grow in the field,, they should be cultivated quite fre- quently throughout the season, to hold the moisture. I do not know of anyone using mos- quito netting or tobacco cloth. I have grown asters successfully in an apple orchard where the trees were a good distance apart. They seem to grow in almost any soil, but the soil that holds moisture well without being too wet seems to be about right for them. The finest asters I ever saw were grown on a day soil; the earliest sorts seem to like a lighter soil. From Purssell & Cragg Co. Ill reply to your request for an answer to the question of R. L., we can only give our personal experience as gained in growing asters in a small way. Aster seedlings are usually transplanted from the seed bed or box, in order to get sturdy ])lants for setting out in the field. The plants are not put out early for the purpose of securing earlj- bloom, excej)t in the case of early varieties, but in order to take advantage of the cooler weather and get them established before it is too hot and dry. If there are facilities for irrigating, the later varieties can be put out in June or later. We have never seen any advan- tage ill growing asters in j)artial shade; the stems might grow longer, but it would be at the expense of the flowers. Asters Grown by Chas. W. Curtis, Irondequoi', N.

Apbil 25, 1912. "We should not want to grow asters be- tween the rows of corn, etc.; the strong- er species of plants would rob the weaker ones. Asters seem to be more successfully grown by the market gardener or farmer than by the florist, mainly, per- haps, because the gardener or farmer is not confined to a small plot of land, but is able to give his plants general field culture, such as he gives his corn and potatoes, and has plenty of room for horse cultivation; above all, he is able to use fresh, untainted land every season. Novices have often grown splen- did asters at their first atempt, when their land was new, but each successive crop, if planted in the same land year after year, became less and less satis- factory. Much of the success attained by the individual grower comes from having well drained land. Heavy show- ers after a prolonged dry spell often mean ruin to an aster crop if the soil is left soggy. From Charles W. Curtis. In reply to R. L.'s inquiry, I will try to describe as far as possible the way in which I grow my asters. While I do not grow as many of them as some of my neighbors, I do not think anyone could find much fault with the quality of my stock. I sow all my seed in the greenhouse. I then transplant them into coldframes, leaving them there till the weather is such that they can be planted out with safety. I find that I overcome two difficulties in this way. In the first place, I prevent a good deal of disease by planting them in cold- frames. In the second place, the plants become hardened in the frames, so that, if the weather gets cold after they are planted out, it does not hurt them. In planting them in the field, I find it advisable to plant them in rows two and one-half feet apart, with the plants about one foot apart in the rows. Thus I can use a horse in cultivating them and this is a great deal more satisfac- tory than the hand cultivator. I also irrigate a good deal, which largely ac- counts for my having good stock. In regard to shading, I think it might be practical to cover the asters with mos- quito netting. I do not think, however, that they could be grown between rows of corn or sunflowers with any success. I am sending you a photograph of one of my beds of asters. The photo- graph was taken after most of the A-No. 1 blossoms had been picked off. These asters were planted two and one- half feet apart. From H. Merritt. I am not one of the largest growers of asters, as I usually plant only about one-half acre, which can be used nicely in my home trade, but I am willing to give you the benefit of my limited expe- rience. The first important point is the selection of seed. I usually try to save the largest part of my own seed, select- ing nothing but the choicest blooms for that purpose. The seed plants are all staked and labeled and left until the seed is ready to be gathered. Asters may be sown any time after the middle of February. For an early crop most growers prefer Queen of the Mf^rket or Early Wonder. After the seed is up and ready to transplant, the plants are transferred to flats or pots. Pots are preferable, as the pot-grown stock can be planted in the field with- out disturbing the roots. It is a good plan to have them in coldframes and well liiirdencd off before planting in the field, as they are then in better condi- tion to stand the cold weather which is liable to come after they are planted out. We find that Mikado and Crego are good midseason asters, and that Crego is the better of these two. Our best Crego blooms usually sell at about $1 per dozen, retail, about twice as much as can be got here for any other variety. For a late crop we use Vick's Branch- ing, which we consider the best of the late sorts. . We always transplant all of our aster plants once before putting them out in the field, as we find it is a great advan- tage to have a ball of soil on each plant, for they then start much better in the field and produce much beter blooms. The land where we plant our asters is well manured and plowed ia the fall. It is plowed again in the spring, and smoothed over ready lor marking. We plant so that we can c.il- tivate both ways, allowing about six- teen to eighteen inches of space cue way and about fourteen inches the other way, as asters like plenty of cultivation and a good, rich soil. Once or twi^e in a season we give them a liberal ;il. lowance of sheep manure, trying to tine this so as to apply it just before a rain. We have always found that a little fertilizer pays well for itself in making up the high-grade blooms. A QBOWEB'S NOTES. [A paper by Clias. B. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa., read before the Lnncaster City and County Flo- rists' Club, April 18, 1912.] Having been given a broad scope to write on, I will treat each phase of the subject briefly, as I know it. We began the culture of sweet peas commercially twelve or fourteen years ago, in a small way, with more or less disappointment financially. The start was with a row about fifty feet long, of the old pink and white variety, I Earliest of All. This row, as I re- ! member, bloomed during the spring ' months and paid only moderately well. I Right here I wish to mention that on i questioning S. S. Pennock, of Phila- delphia, as to the advisability of grow- ing sweet peas to be in bloom at Christ- mas, I received for an answer that if j it were possible to produce peas at that time it would be next to impossible to sell them. However, the following winter, owing j to stem-rot in carnations, I again sowed peas in one bed, 5x140. These flowers I I did not attempt to market in Phila- I delphia, but shipped them to Pittsburgh, I with not highly satisfactory results un- til toward spring, when they gradually increased in value. The following season two beds were planted, one with Earliest of All, the other with a variety not now in cul- tivation, named Josephine White. In this year's experience the Earliest of All were affected with a disease that delayed their blooming period until nearly spring. The Josephine White opened a few flowers in November and I remember shipping fifty flowers to Philadelphia, for which I received 50 cents, which caused me to feel en- couraged, but this was of short dura- tion, as the week following all I re- ceived was a stroke with a blue pencil, accompanied by a note saying that peas were more of a spring flower in their market. After this, what peas I had were shipped again to Pittsburgh for sev- eral months, or until warmer weather, when I received word that they were arriving in poor condition, which was more the fault of the variety, Josephine White, which was a miserable keeper. Some High Easter Prices. After receiving this word, my only recourse was again to ship to Philadel- phia; this was, as I remember, about three weeks before Easter. From the first shipment, according to my recol- lection, the peas sold well in spite of their quality. They continued to sell well until some time after Easter. It may seem peculiar, but this same Easter I received the highest price for peas I ever received, before or since; the largest part of my Easter crop realized from $1.50 to $2.50 per hundred. I well remember that one retailer in Philadelphia bought 800 from my com- mission man, paying him $2.50 per hun- dred, and then made complaint that they kept poorly and asked that the price be reduced to $1.50, which I was glad to do, and I did not blame the kicker, either. I want to say in fair- ness that $2.50 per hundred is too high a price for sweet peas to sell at, even during the holiday season, but of course this price was not refused. From this time on, about eight years ago, peas began to sell in Philadelphia in midwinter, although in a moderate way at first, until at the present time tens of thousands are disposed of dur- ing the Christmas holidays. Other cities, too, for a time, did not take to these flowers during midwinter, but now I venture to say that few cities of fair size in this country are without peas more than three months of the year, and in many they are an all-year- round flower. Duplicate Varieties. Formerly there was little choice of varieties, say two or three. Now, ow- ing to the labors of different men. APRIL 25. 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 15 Antirrbinums Grown id Solid Beds by James Wbeeler, Natick, Mass. there are possibly two dozen different ♦ olors and shades of winter flowering sweet peas, although there is some con- fusion through duplication of names, which in my opinion should be looked into by the National Sweet Pea So- ciety. For instance, a grower might decide that he would try several va- rieties of white, and buy from the different sources the following: Watchung, Earliest White and Snow- bird or Snowdrift, and find at blooming time that he had four rows of the same variety. Also the only difference be- tween Christmas Pink and Earliest of All is the price of the seed. Mont Blanc, Christmas White and Florence Denzer, too, are identical. I want to say in connection with this that no man in this country, or in the world for that matter, has done more toward the advancement of win- ter flowering sweet peas than Anton Zvolanek, of Bound Brook, N. J. He has to the present time succeeded in producing practically all of the colors that we have among the summer bloom- ing varieties in the winter blooming section, and I am informed that he is now at work on the Spencer varieties and, in fact, has partly subdued them to the winter blooming habit. Many of the colors that Zvolanek has succeeded in fixing to type have as yet to prove salable, but as the field broad- ons we can expect a wider range of colors to become popular. Good Commercial Varieties. At the present time the old pink and white variety, Earliest of All or Christ- mas Pink, is the best seller, followed by white of the different varieties, and these followed by lavender, of which T will mention the following: Mrs. Alexander Wallace, and Wallacea, dark lavender, and I believe these are not so likely to drop their buds as Mrs. Charles H. Totty, although this is the most desirable shade of the three. In the light pink class we have Mrs. Do- lansky, Mrs. Wm. Sim and one or two others that are not so desirable. The variety Mrs. Sim will produce longer stems than any other variety in culti- vation under like conditions; the color is pretty when first picked out, but, when slightly faded, soon shows too much salmon, while Mrs. Dolansky, al- though not quite so bright when first opening, holds a uniform coloring throughout. Governor Fort is a fine color and should become popular, as should Pink Beauty, although this has to be proven in most markets. Of the striped purple and violet shades little can be said in a commercial way at present. The Seed. I have read opinions of different growers relative to seed from different localities producing better results, some holding that California seed produces weaker growth, that is responsible for different diseases, in comparison with home-grown seed. With these opinions I do not agree, as for hardness of shell and good germination California seed can not be surpassed. I have grown some seed of a few special varieties and find it an expen- sive undertaking, as, in addition to having to carefully support the vines, I find it necessary at intervals to shake the vines to secure thorough pollination; also when the pods begin to dry they must be picked off every few days, owing to a tendency to burst open and scatter the seed. This trou- ble, of course, is seldom met with in California, as the climate there is more dry and not so changeable at seeding time. Usually the first sowing is made about the middle of August with us. Some growers sow earlier, I understand. Au- gust is a troublesome time to sow peas, as the intense heat we often experience at this time is entirely adverse to the conditions this plant will thrive in. Diseases and Other Troubles. We often have trouble with the ten- der vines damping off at the ground — in fact, on more than one occasion to the extent of fifty or 100 feet of row. I have tried different methods to pre- vent this trouble. I have used lime in the soil at planting time, sterilized with formaldehyde and tried keeping the soil both wet and dry, and have come to the conclusion that a practical pre- ventive is a well dampened soil at sowing time and care to keep condi- tions as uniform as possible. We have with us a disease called black rot, which seems to be the most troublesome during extremely hot weather. I have on several occasions sown an entire house which became af- fected with this disease. It is notice- able soon after the vines appear above the surface of the ground by their stunted, yellowish appearance. The roots, on examination, are black for several inches of their length below the surface of the soil; also many of the rootlets are entirely rotted off. If one has patience, with the coming of cooler weather many of the vines will send out new roots and make a fair growth of vine, but never as good as those not affected. My method usually is to make a furrow beside the diseased rows and sow a fresh supply of seed, usually with good results, as the second sowing, while in the same soil, was naturally made considerably later in the season. Dodging Disease. This present season, owing to a fear of again having this disease to conte' with, I planted another crop in i house in summer and delayed sowii peas until the beginning of October, [Concluded on pa^e Kn;.] WHEELER'S SNAPDBAOON. The illustration shows one of James Wheeler's fine beds of pink snapdrag? ons at Natick, Mass. Mr. Wheeler picked sixty-five dozen spikes from this particular bed for Easter and as many more the week following, all of the finest quality. While Mr. Wheeler spe- cializes in carnations, he finds good sale for snapdragons and the call for cut- tings comes from nearly all parts of the country. W. X. C. 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Ai'itii, 25, 1912. MY MARYLAND. Growing It Without a Rest. In this article I should like to give the readers the benefit of our experi- ments with a house of My Maryland. The figures I intend to use to bear out my statements are as accurate as we can get them, and I hope they will be appreciated as trustworthy. We experimented with a small three- quarter-span house. The benches were made of cement, with a tile bottom, and held only 1,146 plants. Our ex- periments date from August 1, 1909. In that year the plants were planted in the bench out of 4-inch pots. From August 1, 1909, to July 31, 1910, the figures on our books show that we cut 36,872 blooms. These plants were not rested during the season of 1910 and 1911, but were kept growing continuously. We re- moved some of the dead wood, but not enough to check the growth of the plants. From August 1, 1910, to July 31, 1911, the books show a cut of 45,962 blooms, which means a frac- tion over forty blooms per plant. Last fall the plants were not dis- turbed, except to remove the dead wood. This house remained in bloom until January 17, 1912, at which time the temperature was lowered to 45 de- grees at night. This temperature was maintained until February 17, when it was raised to 64 degrees at night. The crop came in splendidly for Easter. During Easter week w^e cut 3,126 blooms oflP these 1,146 plants. From August 1, 1911, to April 8, 1912, we cut 28,624 blooms. The total cut from this house for a little over two and one-half years was 111,458. And remember that the plants have pro- duced this amount without a rest, or at least as nearly so as possible. Advantages of the Method. Why did we make this experiment? It is an accepted principle among most growers that roses need a certain amount of rest or drying oflF each year in order to produce prolific growth and the requisite quality of blooms. We thought it was not necessary and wanted to prove it to our own satis- faction. And I have just given you the results. We have not only experimented with My Maryland, but with the Killarneys also, with about equally favorable re- sults. What is the advantage of growing roses without a rest .' Whv, it moans that you are cutting roses in the sum- mer, while otherwise you would lose nearly two months of time and blooms, to say nothing of the expense. It also does away with this new idea of sum- mer rose houses. Keep them growing the year around and, when they are grown out, start again. Probably some of the readers will wonder by what secret process we kept them blooming steadily and for such a length of time. There is no secret about it; it is just good old manure and plenty of it. My Maryland at our plant is carried at a temperature of 64 degrees at night. We probably give it more water than any other rose, as the soft, succulent growth seems to require great quanti- ties of it. As to mulching, I need only say that we believe in putting it on by the ton. W, J. Vesey, Jr. BEST ROSES FOR DAKOTAS.

Theodore Wirth. ac ac 3C ac CD i f SEASONABLE ^ I ^^ SUGGESTIONS I ir i ac ac ac Hardy Annuals. If a sowing of the hardier annuals has not yet been made outdoors, now is a good time to get them in the ground. It is not good policy to wait until the ground is warm and dry, as is too often done, for the hardier annuals succeed far better if they are sown while the ground is cool and comparatively moist. These annuals are frequently ignored as being of little or no account; in fact, there are many florists who think that asters and sweet peas are the only hardy annuals worth growing for cut- ting. These two latter are undoubtedly the two most valuable annuals, but there are a number of others which every country florist should give room for a row or two. Among these are mignonette, sweet alyssum, candytuft, gypsophila, larksjmrs, pink, white and lavender; lupines, schizanthus, Shirley poppy, gaillardia, Centaurea Cyanus, ('entaurea moschata, Arctotis grandis, Dimorphotheca aurantiaca and coreop- sis. It will be necessary to make a successional sowing a month later of some of these annuals and in the case of Shirley poppy several sowings. Be sure the ground is thofoughly pulver- ized where the seeds are sown and work the cultivator among them just as soon as they appear above the ground. Also, do not neglect hand weeding. Cosmos. Cosmos is a useful fall annual. There are early types which flower more or less through the summer, but these are less valuable than that fine variety Lady Lenox. South of New Jersey this last variety can be depended upon to flower well outdoors, but it is other- wise farther north. Some years a late frost will allow of their flowering free- ly, but this is the exception rather than the rule, and to secure really good flow- ers and be certain of getting them, greenhouse culture is necessary. It is a common mistake to sow cosmos too early. Start the seed now and they will be of ample size. They can be planted outdoors, given one or two pinches and lifted carefully before frost; or, better still, they can be grown in good sized pots, which can be plunged and securely staked, moving them indoors toward the end of Sep- tember, or earlier if frost threatens. These cosmos are invaluable for cut- ting and, grown cool, can easily be kept flowering until Christmas. Montbretias. Next to gladioli the montbretias are one of the most useful of bulbs to plant for producing flowers for cutting. They are not nearly so much seen in the mar- kets in summer as their merits warrant. They grow and flower with a minimum of care, ship well, keep well in water and, if not all planted at once, a long succession of flowers may be had. The best way to secure a continuous crop ia to plant some in the fall, taking up the too thick rows and severely thin- ning them. Mulch these well and they Ai'Hir- 25, 1012.

Then store a quan- tity of bulbs in any cool cellar where there is no fire heat. Plant some of tlicse out as soon as the ground is open jiiul a month later plant a further liittch. This will ensure flowers from July to October. Good old varieties Jilt' Etoile de Feu, scarlet; Kayon d'Or, yellow; crocosmaeflora, orange-red; and (pf the large-flowered newer sorts, Ger- inauia, George Davison and Prometheus are fine. Hardy Lilies. The best time to plant liles outdoors is of course in late fall, but sometimes it is not possible to tlo the planting then. Not infrequently bulbs are re- rolonged drought and should therefore l»e plunged within reach of the hose. Thej' will make rapid growth treated thus and will be strong stock for fall ■sales, or they can be wintered cold and held for spring sales. Plants a few months old are of course salable, but if they are plunged outdoors and given a shift into 4-inch or 5-inch pots and tied up, when potted they will easily realize three times the money of the younger plants. English ivy is an excellent plant for vases, window boxes, piazza boxes, for cemetery lots or for basket work and, given a northern exposure against a wall, will withstand zero weather and considerably lower. Bulb Beds. The covering will, of course, have been removed from bulb beds for some time. They make rapid growth with the first warm days and many will al- ready be in flower. If time permits, stir the surface soil of the beds with a small hand fork, as the mulch lying on it all winter bakes it considerably. 1 p 1 ^■^^'•JlifirtAdwSISiS^W^S , «.■?■■ / w H S^ ¥ w^^ ^ ^ "■^fl •*'» Where your customers want a nice groundwork below the bulbs, this is the time to plant out forget-me-nots, pan- sies, violas, arabis and other spring flowers. In planting these out, how- ever, be careful to select colors which will harmonize well with the bulbs. For instance, white or yellow pansies will look well as a base for scarlet, pink or crimson tulips. Red under pink tulips would be distressing, as would blue, while under yellow or white they would be in excellent taste. In mixed beds it is best to use light groundworks. Soil for Vases and Window Boxes. It may seem a trifle early to mention window boxes, but it is time to prepare the soil to be used for them, rather than scurry around and hastily jirepp^e it at the planting season. As the root- ing space is limited in boxes and vases, the soil should be tolerably rich. Two- thirds good pasture loam, one-third well decayed cow manure and a 3-inch pot- ful of fine bone to each basket make a good compost. If this compost can be pref)ared now and get one mixing be- fore it is used it will be in i)rime 8hai)e. Unless the loam is heavy there is no nee., Calgary, Alberta. cept when it may be found necessary to water the beds during periods of abnor- mal drought, when its temporary re- moval only is needed. A few reliable hardy varieties v.lijch can be depended upon are: Atrosan- guineum, Charles Dickens and Charles Bagley, red; Everestianum and pur- pureum elegans, purple; C. S. Sargent and H. W. Sargent, crimson; roseum elegans, Mrs. C. S. Sargent and deli- catissimum, rose and pink; album ele- gans, album grandiflorum and Boule de Neige, white. Added to these might be the varieties Catawbiense bicolor, lilac to rose, and maximum, which varies in color from white to rose, being usu- ally light pink. For a really good half dozen, plant Charles Dickens, delica- tissimum, album elegans, roseum ele- gans, Everestianum and C. S. Sargent.

M. Rice was born in Detroit August :.'4, 1864. He moved to Philadelphia in 1875, when 11 years of age. After a year or two at school he worked for fight years, spending most of his leisure time at the flower shop of his friend, Kugene Weiss, where he learned the needs of florists. In 1885, with Mr. Weiss and one of his employees, Mr. Rice formed a partnership under the name of the Philadelphia Immortelle » Design Co.

Competent greenliouse help is hard to find now that the growers all are get- ting busy with planting operations. These are the days when any sort of a gardener can get a job without hav- ing to take a civil service examination. If collections are slow, get after them. Money always is scarce with some florists, not because business is bad, but because credit and collection systems are poor. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Eeview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. Possibly the most serious problem be- fore the growers today is where to get an adequate supply of suitable fertilizer. The good old standby of other days in many places is now practically non- comedtable. Last season the florists of Cleveland collected a sum of money among them- selves for the cooperative advertising of Mothers' day. So successful Mere they that this season $300 has been raised in the same manner for expendi- ture in the few days preceding May 12. An account of what is being done will be found in the Cleveland news letter, on page 108 of this issue. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Calla, O. — C. Edwin Oyster, trustee in bankruptcy for the Teraplin Co., paid March 27 the third and final dividend. It was three per cent, making a total of seventeen per cent realized by cred- itors. New York, N. T. — Schedules in bank- ruptcy filed by Nicola Siragusa, florist at 316 East Twelfth street, show liabili- ties of $10,462 and assets of $8,827, consisting of $8,627 in book accounts and $200 in furniture. Toronto, Ont. — George Fretwell, 616 College -street, who also has a store in Roncesvalles avenue, has made an as- signment to Osier Wade. Buffalo, N. Y. — Proceedings brought by United States Attorney John Lord O 'Brian for the condemnation of a con- signment of catsup sent to this city by the E. V. Crine Seed Co., a New Jersey corporation, have been halted by the fact that the company has gone into the hands of a receiver. The cat- sup was seized in Buffalo about two weeks ago at the instigation of the local officials of the pure food and drug inspection branch of the Department of Agriculture. The condemnation pro- ceedings were to have been heard be- fore Judge Hazel in United States dis- trict court April 17. The legal repre- sentative of the E. V. Crine Seed Co. reported that the corporation had gone into the hands of a receiver since the catsup was seized. The receiver re- quested an adjournment of the proceed- ings in order to give him time to fa- miliarize himself with the situation. The prosecution was willing to allow a delay and then Judge Hazel granted an adjournment for fifteen days. FREIGHT ON THE TITANIC. The trade was not a heavy loser, ia the matter of merchandise, by the sink- ing of the Titanic. The manifest showed that the following horticultural consignments were on board: Maltus & Ware, 8 cases orchids. Thorburn, J. M., & Co., 3 cases bulbs. American Express Co., 1 case plants. Maltus & Ware, 11 cases orchids. Hempstead & Sons, 30 cases plants. Wells Fargo & Co., 1 case plants. Downing, R. F., & Co., 1 case bulbs. WHICH? In spite of — or is it because of? — such quick results as are here shown, The Eeview is this month carrying more classified plant advertising than at any time in the past, although May is the month that usually sees this department of the paper at its maxi- mum.

Responding to cool weather and clouded skies, the market for the latter part of last week was in striking con- trast to the fore part, when an over- supply of almost every seasonable flower was noted. With the opening of business on Friday, however, following several cool days of rain, the market showed signs of strength and before closing time conditions began to look normal. A number of special sales by out-of-town retailers helped clear away the surplus on Friday and left the local houses with little else than the hold- over stock of the previous days. But little of this stock, however, was mar- ketable and it was of little use on Sat- urday, only the lowest of prices being able to move it. Saturday found the market settled again, with a general stiffening in prices and the supply not much more than meeting the demand. In the meantime the weather conditions took on a change and Friday, Saturday and Sunday were reasonably good days for the retailers. The cool weather of the earlier part affected the supply to an unusual extent, considering the large quantities that were being shipped in as late as Thursday, and gave consider- able relief to the market for roses, carnations and sweet peas, while spring flowers became generally popular and even the southern shipments of out- door bulbous stock, which had suffered badly during the glut, found a fair sale. Prices began to steady on Friday after- noon, when the wholesalers first de- tected the change, and continued on Saturday and in some cases, such as the Butterfly or Spencer sweet peas, the upward tendency was not satisfied until Sunday. Beauties, Killarneys, White Killarneys and Eichmonds, which had suffered from the oversupply earlier, began to stiffen in prices con- APBIL 26, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 23 THIS WEEK WE CALL ATTENTION TO OUR FANCY ROSES ALL VARIETIES IN LARGE SUPPLY We ask retailers to order freely of our Kichmond, Killarney and White Killarney, for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by making friends for those who buy of us. It has long been recognized that length for length of stem our Killarneys carry the finest flowers of any in this market. The crop is heavy now, so that the prices are lower than what you are accustomed to pay for such fine stock. CARNATIONS A Very Larg^e Crop On Our Carnations average the finest big lot to be found in the west. The spring crop is on and the cut is extremely heavy, while the quality is a little the best of the season, as it always is when the big spring cut is on. Excellent values are offered, especially on large lots. BEAUTIES Spring; Crop ia On You will like the Beauties we are now cutting in quantity. It is the spring crop, cut from plants that have not been forced in winter — grown specially to meet the heavy demand that comes at this season. All lengths. Try some of these now — we know you will want them regularly once you see how salable they are. SWEET PEAS All Colors— Excellent Stock The winter bloomers with us still are in good shape, while we are already receiving considerable quantities of the popular But- terfly sorts. Within a few days we shall have a big pick of these. Better start using them now. LILIES Our Lilies are home-grown— the kind that please your trade. The supply is constant. Order now or any time you need Lilies. SNAPS We have a specially large supply of pink Snapdragons, almost exactly the Killarney shade. Also a good supply of other colors. These are fine. SPRING FLOWERS Fine Spanish Iris, Daisies, Pansies, Tulips, Jonquils, Candy- tuft and Mignonette. You need them all, everyday. If we supply you, your flowers will please your customers.

The demand for Beauties was not unusual, but it managed to take care of the supply, while Killarneys had a brisk run, with carnations. The latter had also been in great supply, but the out-of-town special sales gathered up a greater part of the surplus and on Saturday they were again bringing normal rates. The cold weather seemed to affect the carna- tion supply fully as much as the rose crop. Among the novelties last week, the first consignment of lilac was seen and, although some was of fair quality, it was generally poor and failed to reach any high mark in prices for the first supply, notwithstanding that the initial shipment was three weeks later than last year. Spanish iris, tulips and jon- quils found a fair market at the close of the week and in the majority of cases a clean-up was made at prices that looked fair by comparison with what had been offered earlier. Snap- dragon, most of which was pink, failed to attract the buyers and it was not moved to any great advantage to the shippers. With violets, both double and single, practically off the market, the demand for sweet })eas improved and was at its Ijest on Saturday and Sun- day, when the supply was hardly equal to the demand. The winter crop is about off and the stock now coming in has nowhere near the quality of the Butterfly. These are not in great sup- ply and consequently command good prices. Orchids are not yet abundant and command a fairly good return in view of the spring wedding demand, which is helping the sale of these as well as valley. Valley is not scarce, for since the passing of Lent the sup- ply has been on the increase in antici- pation of the weddings. Lilies are in good supply. Callas are not abundant, but enough to go around have reached the market.

The shorter supply accounts for this. Of Killarney there seems to be no end. Some wholesalers receive from forty to seventy-five boxes of these a day. The street and the department stores are the only outlets for this surplus and the transient public is reaping the benefit. The street men are offering fresh long-stemmed roses at 10 cents a bunch on every corner. The people are surely being educated. Perhaps the retailers may reap the benefit of this later on. Carnations have fallen with roses. Grand stock sold at $1 a hundred April 20. Gigas, Mendellii and Mossise tattleyas have held fairly well, but Schroederffi has found the street mer- chants, as was feared, and the depart- ment stores actually advertise them as low as 15 cents. Gardenias are badly neglected, the stores only using a few of the finest. For the common and short stock the street is the only outlet. Valley is down and lilies of all kinds are at the lowest ebb. Of violets, spring flowers and bulbous stock the less said the better. Various Notes. The New York party of over twenty to visit the London exhibition in May was booked on the Titanic. The loss of the great ship may change the plans of many and lessen the number who will sail. The auction houses are both crowded every Tuesday and Friday. Cyril Gorman, of the Lord & Burn- ham Co., has secured the contract for four pipe frame houses 32 x 200 from the Denison Floral Co., of Uhrichs- ville, O. Siebrecht & Siebrecht have secured a farm of 230 acres, near Fort Edward, on the Hudson, and are developing a chicken raising industry there. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Steinhoff, of West Hoboken, were not seriously in- jured in the church collapse and will be able to take their intended trip to Bermuda early in May. Several of the Long Island growers are booking for the trip at the same time. Prof. Craig, of Cornell, who has been in the Postgraduate hospital in this city during the last five weeks, is rap- idly improving. McHutchison & Co. report an order for nearly 800 pounds of colored rafi[ia from Melbourne, Australia. The nurs- erymen are using different colors of raffia to indicate the grade of trees. This house has been obliged for many weeks to refuse orders for French stocks, so pronounced is the scarcity this season. The year's business is far ahead of all records to date. Mr. Hunt, well known and popular employee of the Julius Roehrs Co., was lost with the Titanic. He was bringing to the firm nearly $1,000 worth of rare orchids. J. C. Silbert, New York manager for H. M. Robinson & Co., says his shipping trade is growing fast. Bonnot Bros, have leased their Floni- ington, N. J., greenhouses to Jos. Wei- man, of Brooklyn. Mr. Bonnot, the retail florist of Jersey City, with Mrs. Bonnot, sails May 8 on the Lusitania for a stay of several months in Europe. Arthur T. Boddington has just re- ceived a large bulb shipment from Wal- lace & Co., of Colchester, England, in- cluding many rare lilies, sulphureum among them. Recent visitors reported by Mr. Boddington were C. C. Reck, of Bridgeport, Conn.; Geo. Thompson and Edw. Norman, of Lenox, Mass., and A. Whitelaw, of Noroton, Conn. Will Kessler and wife have returned from their outing in the mountains. Julius Roehrs, Sr,, is recuperating at Atlantic City.

Dr. Britton and Prof. Cowell have returned from a two months' trip to Cuba in the interests of the Bronx park of this city, and the botanic garden and parks of Buffalo. Wm. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, was a recent visitor. J. K. Allen has enlarged his office facilities, added a new metal ceiling to his entire store, and has an up-to- date store in every respect. Traendly & Schenck celebrated the advent of C. Schenck, Jr., last week with appropriate jubilation. M. C. Ford is a believer in recreation and, with Messrs.

Since Easter, business with most of the local florists, especially the retail- ers, has been satisfactory, weddings and receptions calling for a consider- able amount of choice cut flowers and plant decorations. The stock of pot plants, especially bedding plants, is moving constantly, but on account of the rainy weather we have had in the last two weeks the work of the land- scape gardeners is handicapped. The most prominent outdoor grown c\lt flow- ers are Spanish iris, which can be seen here by the thousand, and the demand for them is brisk. Most of the outdoor roses are only fit for cheap work and the sweet peas are far behind in quan- tity as well as quality. Greenhouse lilies can be seen everywhere, and thou- sands of outdoor ones will soon be in bloom. The truckers in the vicinity of New Orleans are bringing in some fine vege- tables. Lettuce, shallots, turnips, mus- tard and bunch onions are scarce; rad- ishes and spinach are in moderate sup- ply, but beets, carrots and parsley are plentiful.

Claude Ory presided; C. E. Panter, the secre- tary, was at his desk and there was a fair attendance. Picturesque Grand Isle, situated in the Gulf of Mexico, was unanimously selected for this year's outing during the middle of July. It was decided to make the trip by boat, to give all the participants the full benefit of the highly interesting country. C. R. Panter, B. M. Wichers and Paul Abele were appointed a com- mittee of arrangement, with instruc- tions to report at the next meeting. To draft resolutions in memory of Mrs. Charles Eble and H. A.

The announcement of the death, March 30, of H. A. Despom- mier, who was a charter member of the society, was received with much sorrow by all those present. J. A. Xewsham exhibited a gorgeous collection of orchids, and Richard Eich- ling, foreman for U. J. Virgin, showed a fine collection of Spanish iris. A vote of thanks was extended to both exhib- itors for their excellent display. Various Notes. Henry Cook, successor to M. Cook's original establishment, recently made some highly successful experiments in growing cucumbers under glass. The vines are strong and have been bear- ing since the middle of January, the fruits averaging a length of from four- teen to eighteen inches, and from six to seven and one-half inches in circum- ference. They are of a light green color, and thin seeded. He intends to follow up his present achievements and plant several houses for next season. April 19 one of the heaviest hail storms seen here in years passed over the city, causing considerable damage to several florists, among them Buchner & Kraak, Henry Cook, Reinhard Cook and Abele Bros. The latter establish- ment suflfered slightly and the rest of the florists practically escaped unhurt. No report of any damage done to the nearby truck farms has been received. R.

The market opened badly April 18, but showed improvement on several of the days following. Conditions are not pleasant to describe. There has been no special increase in the supply of flowers, but there are a great many more flowers than the ordinary buyers require and special customers have to be found to obtain an outlet for the surplus. The dark weather that pre- vailed for several days affected sweet peas, shortening the supply of salable stock, and to a lesser degree it affected other flowers. A feature of the market was the scarcity of Beauties April 19 and 20, a scarcity totally unexpected by those best able to judge. The price went up to $4 a dozen on some se- lected stock, while all grades averaged higher prices. Eichmond, too, sold well and the general tone of the market re- flected the improvement in these roses, an improvement maintained April 22 on some varieties. We are in the sea- son when Saturdays and Mondays are apt to be the best days. The market can be best understood by adding that the quantity of any one flower in the best grade usually exceeds the demand, so that prices will not average accord- ing to quality. Violets are almost over. Oddly, the demand for gardenias seems better. Cattleya MossisB is in excellent form and in fair demand. Lilies are generally hard to sell, ex- cepting the best. Both indoor and out- door lilies are abundant. There are still some good Emperor, but the bulk of the bulbous stock is outdoor grown. Boses and carnations require no spe- cial comment. Greens continue in fair demand, particularly asparagus sprays. Various Notes. The sad death of M. Eice, announced elsewhere in this paper, will not affect the firm of M. Eice & Co. The business will be carried on exactly as before by B. Eschner, his partner for the last fourteen years. The many friends of Fred Ehret will learn with deep concern that he under- went an operation at the German hos- Mentlon The Revl.w whan you write.

Feurstenberg has sold the Floral Exchange at Edgely, Pa., to a new com- pany that will conduct the business un- der the name of the Floral Nurseries. Albert Arnold will be the managing director. It is understood that the present manager, Harry Simpson, will be retained and that roses will be grown, for the present at least. This sale will come as a surprise to the trade, which have always associated the Floral Exchange with Mr. Feursten- berg. It is understood that Mr. Feur- stenberg desired to devote his entire time to the management of his second enterprise, the Florex Gardens, North Wales. Henry A. Dreer, Inc., was obliged to resort to extraordinary measures to catch up with the tremendously heavy orders rushed on them at once by the late opening of spring. Their packing shed at Eiverton is the scene of great activity. The Eobert Craig Co. will erect eight greenhouses, 42x150 each, at Norwood, Pa. They will be iron construction, Lord & Burnham material.

Providence is enjoying one of the best seasons ever experienced follow- ing Easter, and from all sides come sat- isfactory reports, of good business, not- withstanding tl^fere are few large social functions of a;iy kind. Funeral work remains about' normal, but the custom of buying c^ flowers for the house is steadily growing. Violets have disap- peared, but marguerites and stocks are now in abundance. Prices range about as usual for this season. Various Notes. Charles Hunt recently placed orders for 10,000 bulbs. George Johnson & Sons, of the Elm- wood Nursery, have been awarded the contract of caring for the grounds of the State Armory in this city. Peter S. Byrnes, of Wickford, has just registered a new twenty-eight horse-power Federal auto truck. Thomas Curley is experiencing two weeks' jury duty. He reports an abun- dance of outdoor work.

Meader, of the forestry department. George Johnson, the founder of the firm, now in his eighty-fourth year, is still active, although just recovering from a slight illness. The firm has a force of more than forty men, three motorcycles, six horses and additional teams on hire for the spring work. A regular meeting of the Bhode Is- land Horticultural Society was held April 17, with a large attendance, the subject for the meeting being apples. A special meeting of the stockhold- ers of the wholesale flower market was held April 17 for a discussion as to the future of the corporation. O. H.

Major Archibald Butt, aide to the President, and Clar- ence Moore, the well-known horseman, both general favorites, were members of the social set that had many enter- tainments scheduled for this week, among them the Chevy Chase Hunt Club ball, which is always one of the most brilliant affairs of this season of the year, and has since been indefinitely postponed. Orders had already been placed for the supply of a large quan- tity of cut flowers and potted plants for the occasion. The society circus, of which both these gentlemen, together with all of Washington's notables, are patrons, is also called off. In addition to these, many dinners, teas and dances to be given by individuals will not be held. Rain and cold weather during the last week has also materially shortened the demand for flowers, although the sale of potted plants has been exceptionally good and funeral work has been plenti- ful. Plenty of stock was to be had in all grades up to Sunday last, when it became fairly hard to get a sufficient amount of flowers to fill orders; this due to the dull days. There had been a glut of carnations during the preced- ing days, the best stock going at $1.50, while the intermediate grades were turned over to the street men at less than half that price, but on Sunday FLORAL CO. 413 MadUon Ave..

Good violets are a thing of the past and jonquils are of such a grade as to make it useless to send them in; Easter lilies, of which there is a large amount, can be had for any old price at all and at that there is little or no demand. Greens are a bit more plentiful and are moving proportionate- ly. Orchids are somewhat scarce and are bringing $6 per dozen. Sweet peas are poor in quality, but snapdragon is good. Some good American Beauty roses, with exceptionally long stems and fine foliage, are coming in. Various Notes. William Rehder, grower and retailer, of Wilmington, N. C., registered at the Pennock-Meehan store last week, and K. W. Ratcliff, of Richmond, Va., was also in town. F. H. Kramer, accompanied by R. W. Ratcliff, went to New York last week to witness the arrival of the Carpathia, bearing the survivors of the Titanic. Mr. Kramer describes the scene as be- ing a heart-breaking one ami an inci- dent never to be forgotten. James Reynolds, lately with the Washington Florist Co., has given up his position with that firm and has gone to Harrison, N. J. Miss Margaret Boyle, who conducts a stand at the Center market, is reported as being confined to her home by ill ness. M. J. McCabe, of the Center market, furnished the large wreath which wa^ placed upon the grave of Washington l)y the Capital Society, Children of the .\merican Revolution.

"As many seedsmen in New York state have their seeds tested by the de- partment at Washington, all such tests will be useless under the proposed law, and dealers doing an interstate business will be seriously handicapped, as they will be obliged to make two tests, one by weight and one by count, because the results made by each test vary ma- terially.

Eobinson Seed Co., which, as had previously been announced in this column, has bought out the Eocky Ford Seed Grow- ers' Association, was removing from Nebraska to Colorado, The Eeview asked for a statement of plans. The following letter came over the signature of J. C. Eobinson, president: "Yours of April 20 in reference to our moving our business from Waterloo to Eocky Ford is received. In reply, beg to state that we are establishing a growing station at Eocky Ford. Have purchased a warehouse there, in the central part of the town, will install complete cleaning machinery, and our branch will be under the charge of J. A. Eobinson, who, for fourteen years past, has been traveling for a promi- nent seed firm. Mr. Eobinson will travel about three months in the year for our firm, and the balance of the time will be spent at Eocky Ford, in charge of the work there. "It is our ambition to do work on our stocks at Eocky Ford that it has been impossible to do here at home in the last few years, since the aphis has troubled our crops so seriously. We hope to bring vine seed stocks back to the point where they were some six or eight years ago, as we believe that stocks today are not as good as they were at one time." SWEET CORN FOB SEED. The use of sweet corn, at least of the quality and in the quantities now com- mon, is comparatively modern, says W. W. Tracy in a recent bulletin. Seeds- men handled very little sweet corn pre- vious to 1825 or 1830, and for the next twenty or twenty-five years practically all of the seed used came from New England. In later years the growing of sweet-corn seed gradually extended into western New York, northern Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska, until at present fully eighty per cent -of the sweet-corn seed produced in the United States is grown at points west and north of Cleveland, Ohio. South of the latitude of that city sweet corn is so liable to injury from the boUworm that it can seldom be profitably grown for seed. The corn plant is influenced as to size of stalk and earliness of maturity by climatic conditions, and this effect is transmitted through the seed, so it LAWN GRASS IN BULK AND PACKAGES BLUE GRASS RED TOP WHITE CLOVER ETC., ETC.

"Dear John — Come home; your tailor is dead," wrote the faithful wife whose husband was of the flap- Jack variety, hard pressed by the Knight of the Shears. The less a man owes, the better off he is, for his mind is more at rest, and he is more independent. He can laugh and sing. The man who can't laugh, can't think well, because when one laughs he relaxes muscles, nerves and brain cells, and thereby strength- ens them for later use. Grattan said : "At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment." That was some time ago. Today the* leaders among men strike an average, and at thirty you can find men of will, wit and judgment in business, such as the world never had before. Ifs the young men today who will rule the world tomorrow. Watch them. Same in the florist business — ^the young men will make more progressive his- tory in the next ten years than their fathers have in the past twenly-five. Especially the boys who are not mere potwallopers. Thinkers — Leaders — Persistent Business-Getters. The boys who get encore orders, at a profit, and who are growers as well — scientific growers — the kind who rea- son, and can grow good lilies. Any old greenhouse chambermaid can grow Paper Whites, but it takes some skill to produce good lilies. Horse- shoe Brand Lily bulbs of all varieties are cultivated to satisfy all kinds of growers, but in the hands of ex- perts— scientific growers — the results from them are marvelous. Try them.

The qualities of sweetness and ten- derness in green corn are also influ enced by soil and climatic conditions, l)ut there is a difference of opinion as to how far this influence is carried in the seed. The corn packers of Maine insist that green corn grown in the north from northern-grown seed is su perior to that which can be produced from seed grown farther south. The Maryland packers insist that they can get not only more but sweeter and more tender corn from seed grown in their own locality. In both cases the su- perior results obtained from local-grown seed may be accounted for by the fact that seed grown in any locality for a number of generations has been found by experimentation to give better re- sults in that locality than seed of the same stock equally well grown else- where. The belief that the use of northern and eastern grown seed will result in better and sweeter green corn is so general that seedsmen's catalogues are often so worded as to give the impres- sion that all the sweet corn they offer is grown in the east, but very often seed bought of an eastern seedsman and supposed to be eastern grown was ac- tually produced in the west. There are many facts that seem to indicate that the gardener's prejudice against western seed is well founded. If a field of sweet corn is planted with two lots of seed of the same vari- ety, one eastern and the other western grown, and ears as uniform as possible as to maturity and quality are gath- ered from the two parts of the field, processed and canned iti the same way, experts can with a fair degree of cer- tainty decide which lot of seed the corn in different cans was grown from, and they will generally declare that the corn from the eastern-grown seed is the better. This difference in quality is much more noticeable in the earlier than in the later maturing sorts and with some lots of seed than with others. The be lief that it actually exists is so gen eral that it affects the relative market value both of canned corn and of sweet corn seed. If we carefully select ears grown from eastern and from western seed which are in exactly the same stage of maturity, chemical analysis fails to detect any constant difference in sugar content. There is, however, a slight but discernible difference in the size of chit, or germ, and in a general way the green corn from western seed is slightly coarser in texture and less tender than that from eastern seed. The difference in quality may be ac- counted for as follows: The climatic conditions in the west em corn-growing sections, especially during the season when corn is earing, are often such as to induce a marvel- ously rapid development — much more rapid than is often seen in the east. In the west it is sometimes difficult to find ears of sweet corn green enough to be in prime boiling condition in fields where it was equally difficult to find ears which were mature enough to be palatable forty-eight to seventy-two hours earlier. Seed grown under such conditions would often transmit the rapid-maturing habit of the plants that produce it. The quality of green corn.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 55 particularly as to tenderness and sweet- ness, is very dependent upon the stage of maturity at which it is cooked, sometimes the growth of only a few liours affecting the discernible sugar content. If the corn in a field from western seed in which the rapid-ma- turing habit was transmitted was gath- ered for canning when most of the ears were in prime green-corn condition, some of the ears would be so mature v as to lower the average quality of the pack, but it would be impracticable to reject such slightly overmature ears, and the resulting poor quality of the j)ack would be charged to generally in- ferior stock rather than to the effect of the few older ears. One indication that rapid develop- ment, with the consequent short period of prime canning condition, is an im- portant, if not the chief, objection to western-grown seed, is the fact that experienced canners who insist upon pastern-grown seed of the earlier sorts, like Crosby, do not seriously object to well-grown western seed of the later and slower maturing sorts, like Ever- green and Country Gentleman. Whatever may be the facts as to the relative merits of eastern and west- ern grown seed, the writer believes that it is always true that the character of green corn is more or less affected by that of the soil on which the seed was grown. Seed grown in moderately rich but warm, well-drained, gravelly soils, like those common in Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and some sections of Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, will give better and sweeter corn than seed grown on very rich mucky or prairie soils which would give large crops of field corn. It ap- pears to be impossible to grow on a cold, heavy clay soil sweet-corn seed which will produce green corn of the highest quality. [To be continued.] SFIBiEA FOUAQE SCOBOHED. Will you kindly tell me what is the matter with the enclosed spiraea foliage 1 We have them in a temperature of 55 degrees and have kept plenty of water on them. We have used tobacco stems once or twice, but with the plants cov- ered with papers. There is only one plant as bad as the sample, but it is showing a little on several of the others. I hope you will be able to tell me what it is and a remedy for it. D. B. K. The leaves have been scorched by the fumigation. Tobacco stems are, as a fumigant, largely obsolete. They should never be used where spiraeas are grow- ing, as even when covered with papers the foliage is liable to be scorched. If you would in future use some of the specially prepared tobacco papers you will not damage your spiraea foliage at all, but will destroy aphis, etc., just as well as is done with the tobacco stems.

H. Keffel, proprietor Diamond Hill Nur- sery. I,os Angeles, Cal., April 18, 1912. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. While there has been no glut of stock worth mentioning and practically noth- ing has been thrown away, it has taken a good deal of hustling on the part of the wholesalers to clean up in some lines and these busy men d^iajye a good deal of credit. Never, pferhaps, in the history of the trade has so much local stock been in the market, and, besides this, northern stock has been arriving in more or less good order. Of course, shipping orders to outside l)oints have helped materially, and with- out them there would undoubtedly have been a glut. As it now stands, the indoor rose growers will soon be throw- ing out stock, and we have Fiesta week and the Shriners' visit to take into con- sideration. Under these circumstances there is little likelihood of an over' supply after Memorial day. Funeral work has been brisk and there have been decorations for vari- ous social affairs, while the pleasant weather has brought shoppers out in full force, which greatly helps the tran- sient business. Maman Cochet and White Cochet are two of the finest outdoor roses ,iust now, though the fine flowers of Ulrich Brunner and the charming little Cecil Brunners are seen everywhere. The climbing form of the latter is being planted a good deal and it appears to be as free as the bush variety and a much stronger grower. Lilies disappeared as if by magic after Easter and the showings the last few weeks have been mighty poor. There are a few rubrums in, chiefly pot stock of a moderate quality only. Indoor roses are fine, especially Beau- ties, and carnations are holding up well. Good asparagus strings and smilax are scarce, leading to an in- crease in the demand for other greens. The huckleberry now being handled here is fine, hard, long-lasting and of a deep green color. Valley is plentiful and good. Orchids are coming much more freely and of better quality. Spanish and English irises, tulips, daf- fodils and ornithogalum are all in good supply and of fine quality. Various Notes. Among the many novelties at the Dieterich & Turner range at Monte- bello, and standing head and shoulders above them all, is the beautiful new Red Cherokee rose. The white and pink forms of this showy species, Rosa laevigata, are now well known, but the new-comer is quite distinct from either and a great advance. The color is the richest red, with the base of the petals shaded carmine, and this, with the yel- low stamens, makes a lovely combina- tion of coloring. The growth is as free as that of the older varieties and the flowers are just as freely produced. Owing to the exigencies of propagating, only a few plants have been allowed to flower, but I have seen it on several occasions and each time liked it better than the last. "When it first appeared the name San Diego was given it, but, as the authorities of the San Diego exposition are offering a $1,000 prize for a new rose to be named for their town, Dieterich & Turner considerately withdrew the name. This is absolutely the first public mention of this fine nov- elty and not a line of advertising has as yet appeared; yet thousands of plants have already been ordered by trade visitors who have foreseen the great possibilities of this novelty. It will be offered just as soon as suffi- cient stock has been worked up. , Spanish irises, fresh and beautiful in coloring, and some excellent Empress daffodils were among the offerings at Creutz & Co. 's store at West Eighth street. Mr. Creutz says he has late Emperor coming on, which he hopes to be cutting for Memorial day. Superintendent McLaren, of the Golden Gate park, San Francisco, has been in the city for a few days, look- ing up nursery stock. Some of the finest outdoor roses seen this season were being handled by S. Murata on Hill street, as well as new crop sweet peas and exceptionally fine carnations. Mr. Murata has proven a worthy successor to S. Shima and has already established a good name for straight and businesslike dealings. J. W. Wolters is more than pleased — in fact, quite surprised — at the amount '^V CHAS. E. MORTON, Mcr. OUR NEW CROP ASPARAGUS PLUHOSUS NANUS uri ASPARAGUS SPRENGERI Guaranteed true to name. Ready now.

He has some of the choicest of the society traile, which will follow him anywhere, iiiil with this new addition to his busi- ness it looks as though the success of his new and spirited venture is assured. Manager C. Morton, of the Los An- m'les Flower Market, has invested in a new Buiek, which he will doubtless find I'xtiomely useful in visiting his grow- ers. Remember the speed limitations, ('hiirlio. At a recent luncheon party Charlie Lowis, of the Freeman-Lewis Co., used small baskets of Cecil Brunners tied with pink ribbon, which were quite iH'tH'tive.

PASADENA, CAL. The seventh annual spring flower show was held under the auspices of the Pasadena Horticultural Society, formerly the Pasadena Gardeners' As- sociation, April 11 to 13, in Central park and was a decided success. In addition to the private gardeners' ex- hibits and those for competition, the trade made a good showing. The only retailer's display noted was that of "The Orchid," which put up a nice assortment of cut flowers and plants. Ed. Bust made his usual fine show of conifers and nursery and pot stock, which was much admired. Howard & Smith, of Los Angeles, made a fine exhibit, their superb varie- ties of amaryllis being the chief attrac- tion, though much other choice stock was shown. The Germain Seed & Plant Co., Robert Pegg, D. W. Coolidge and the Boss Nurseries all showed some of . their specialties, and John H. Teekamp made a show with good tulips in pans. H. B. B.

Inquiries are being made for geraniums for bedding; the single varieties are al- most exclusively used in this city. Other bedding stock is moving well, but the prices are on the down grade; the whole- sale prices are less than the stock can possibly be grown for at any profit. Various Notes. J. J. Bonnell has opened a store in the Sanitary Market, for the sale of j»ot plants, cut flowers and bedding |)lants, and has put it in charge of his oldest boy, who is a chip of the old block and out for business. H. B. Burdett had a large order for IJncle Sam this week. The rush is on in the nursery business. J. A. Sahli has an immense stock of pansies, daisies, myosotis and kindred plants at his nursery at Brighton. Business is good and he is shipping a lot of plants daily. . Lots of the growers are shipping cu- cumbers to town these days and the prices are good. It seems as if the -dibles paid better than the orna- mentals. Growers are taking advantage of the fine weather to get their carnations into the field. I saw some fine raspberry plants be- ing sold for rose bushes at one of the department stores recently. T. W. ASSOCIATION OF GARDENERS. [Concluded from page 12.] flower as its symbol for the year. Car- nation Wodenethe was selected as the emblem of the association for 1912 Among the speakers heard at the meeting were William Kleinheinz, who urged the gardeners to do their utmost to make the National Flower Show of next year a big success; John Dodds, who spoke on the benefits of belonging o the S. A. F., stating that the more the gardeners identify themselves with floncultural and horticultural organiza- tions the greater will become the influ- ence of their profession in the affairs of horticulture. George C. Watson strong- ly endorsed what Mr. Dodds had to say and added there was also a great work Mhead for the National Association in the solving of the many problems which are still confronting the professional gardeners, but that cooperation among the gardeners will soon make this or- ganization a power which will be of lasting benefit to the gardener. John VVestcott also spoke of the great good that the S. A. F. has accomplished for the commercial men, saying that the same field is open to the National As- sociation to accomplish equal good for the professional or private gardeners. Other speakers heard were .James Kennedy, president of the Elberon Hor- ticultural Society; Benjamin Wyckoff, of Asbury Park; Austin C. Sayler and VN alter Mott. Their subjects treated Iinncipally on the great progressiveness of the gardeners of this country and the bright outlook for the association. At the close of the meeting the visit ing members were entertained at a din- ner given by the local members at the Hotel Dooner, the table being hand- somely decorated with flowers provided by Mr. Watson.

The time to commence spraying toma ioes is when they are in the seed bed, Ijefore they become infected. If you are troubled with the blight in your section every year, it is important to begin early and keep it up until late in the season, at regular and frequent in- tervals, probably about two weeks iipart.

For the piping sys- tem 4-inch threaded boiler tubes are used. Each return line is controlled by a small gate valve. The first boiler Mr. Yonker installed was placed in a deep pit. With the present system the boiler may be set on the same level as the greenhouse walks and the No. 15 boiler is in a "pit" the floor of which is twenty-four inches below the level of the greenhouse beds. The old boiler pit was partially filled in and now can be used for growing either mushrooms or asparagus. Establishment of R.

The • (uickest and best way to mix it is to "lump the copper sulphate into five gal- lons or less of boiling water and stir it hard for a few minutes, and again in about fifteen minutes, instead of waiting all day for it to dissolve in • old water. Slake your lime in another l)ucket. Do not let the lime burn 'Iry and do not drown it with water; j,'ive it a little water every few minutes until slaked under high temperature. Then pour both into the barrel of water and mix thoroughly. Stir often while using it. H. G. YONKER 'S VEGETABLE BANOE. Twelve years ago E. Yonker, Grand Rapids, Mich., built a small greenhouse for growing vegetables. In those days the greenhouses were of low construc- tion and a house twenty feet wide was considered a big one. Mr. Yonker de voted the house to leaf lettuce. Grand Rapids variety; radishes and parsley, and the products were sold to the gro- cers of Grand Kapids. The business for the first season was encouraging and the following year several additional houses were built. The business has grown from its small beginning until today Mr. Yonker has one of the most up-to-date ranges of vegetable houses in the state of Michi- gan. The new houses erected last sea son are Garland iron frame, each .34x275. The eaves or gutters are eleven feet high. There are no posts; the roof is supported by truss construction. This permits placing the heating pipes six feet or more above the beds and per mits working the soil by horse. The greenhouses are supplied with an overhead sprinkling system, and each house, 275 feet in length, can be wa- tered from one point. One illustration shows one of the large new greenhouses in full crop with Grand Rapids lettuce. Many of the plants weigh nearly a pound. The pictures were taken Janu- ary 10, 1912, and as soon as this crop was cut, new lettuce plants were planted immediately, so as not to lose a day's time. The cucumber plants for early spring forcing are already in pots and will be planted in the beds just as soon as the last crop of lettuce is cut. In building a greenhouse two impor- tant points are a good watering system and a high smokestack. In the illus- Special to the Trade Send for our List of Plants.

Menaon Xbe Keview wneu rou writ* TORONTO. The Market. The weather has been fine and busi- ness excellent. There is an unusual quantity of funeral work, which is helping things considerably. Stock is plentiful and arriving in good condi- tion. Those dealers who put on special price sales on Saturday report an ex- cellent trade in valley, sweet peas and violets for corsage bouquets. Social events are quite numerous and this class of trade is good. Various Notes. Jno. H. Dunlop is exhibiting samples of the new Mme. Eussell rose in his window and the display is attracting considerable attention. April 18 the body of David Cooper was found at the entrance to High park. It was at first thought that Mr. Cooper had committed suicide, but investiga- tion showed that his death was due to apoplexy. Of late years Mr. Cooper had conducted a store at 615 Dundas street. Previous to going into business for himself he worked in the green- houses of John H. Dunlop. Some years ago, he worked in the retail store of Charles Scrim, Ottawa, Ont. C, Goulding & Son and A. Jennings, North Toronto, report having booked many orders for taking care of plots in Mount Pleasant cemetery. Business, particularly in fiowering plants, is ex- cellent in this end of the city. Mr. Annandale, of the Steele-Briggs Seed Co., may have lost a brother-in- law in the wreck of the Titanic. He is under the impression that his rela- tive shipped as one of the officers but is unable to make sure. E. A. F. OLEN COVE, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Mense and daugh- ter, who have made Glen Cove their home for many years, have left for Minneapolis, Minn., where they will in the future reside. Mr. Mense is a pioneer florist of this section, and dur- ing his stay here of forty years has been in charge of many fine estates. He was in the employ of Wright Duryea, and with the late Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, whose estate at West or Dana 's Island, was noted for its horticultural effects.

AURORA NURSERIESf Long Distance Phone in our ottice. Aurora, III. .raponica were added to the list of varieties that the board orders to be .idmitted free and now, in a decision handed down April 10 in the case of \Vm. Larzelere & Co., the board has still further extended the list. The ilecision is as follows: WAITE, General Appraiser: "It is claimed in these protests that merchan- ilise which has been assessed as nurs- ery stock under paragraph 26'4, tariff act of 1909, should be free of duty as overgreen seedlings under paragraph t)68. In the case of Ee Harris, Abs. (T. D.) 408080, etc., the question of the meaning and scope of the term ever- i^reen seedlings was considered, and the previous decision of the board (G. A. 5305, T. D. 24305) on the same 'luestion was followed, holding that the term applies to an evergreen prop- agated from the seed, as distinguished from one grown from a stock or cut- ting, regardless of the age or size of the plant, or the fact that it may have been transplanted.. We therefore adopt that definition in arriving at a conclu- sion regarding the items involved in these protests. "From the testimony taken in these ' ases and the catalogues introduced in ' yidence marked exhibit 1-A and ex- hibit 2, it appears that the following 'Icscribed evergreens involved in these protests were from seeds: Abies ex- 'ielsa, A. concolor. A, pectinata, A. Nordmanniana and A. Pinsapo; Pinus ■^ustriaea and P. sylvestris, Juniperus Virginidna, Thuya occidentalis, Taxus baccata and Kalmia latifolia. * ' The protests are therefore sustained in so far as they relate to the above ("numerated varieties of evergreens, and Roses, Cannas, Shrubs Aak. for new Price List.

Fox & Son had the order for the Robinson wedding in Racine, Wis., April 23. The A. F. Kellner Co. did the plant work for that occasion. It was one of the most elaborate affairs of the Bell City for a long time. Frank Cadillac, of Evanston, 111., has opened a stand at Gimbel Bros.' de- partment store to dispose of a general line of nursery stock. The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports shipping trade fine and is cutting some Killarney roses that are hard to beat. The Gust Rusch Co. is receiving some fine Richmond and Killarney from the Illinois growers. The C. C. Pollworth Co. claims that it is surprising how the great amount of the daily cut from the Wauwatosa plant keeps moving all the time. Thursday, May 2, the regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Club takes place and President Hunkel desires a good attendance. Being only three days previous to Easter Sunday, the last meeting was postponed for one month, as no quorum was present. Visitors last week were: Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Beer, Marshfield, Wis.; F.

A meeting of the Lancaster Florists' Club was held April 18, with a full at- tendance and several new members. Chas. B. Weaver, of Bonks, Pa., read a paper on "Sweet Peas" and ex- hibited fine vases of Mont Blanc, Mrs. Chas. H. Totty, Mrs. F. H. Dolansky and a selection from Earliest of All. The usual fine display of carnations was staged, with an extra fine vase of Lawson from a new source, Mr. Brack- bill, of Lampeter, Pa. It is really re- markable how well Lawson is grown by a few of our local growers. A committee was appointed to ar- range for a summer picnic. It was suggested that at our next meeting sev- eral of the retail growers bring plants in and have a discussion as to what it costs to produce them, and see whether a more uniform rate of selling can be established. A. M. Herr. GLEN COVE, N. Y. A regular monthly meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held at Pembroke hall on the eve- ning of April 10, with President J. F. Johnston in the chair. One application for membership was received. The society, on behalf of one of its members, offers prizes of $10 and $5 for the best kept cottage gardens in Glen Cove during the coming summer, those who employ help not allowed to compete. Offers of special prizes for our fall show were received from the following: Stumpp & Walter Co., Peter Henderson & Co., Julius Koehrs Co., J. M. Thor- burn & Co., Vaughan's Seed Store, Cot- tage Gardens, Mrs. J. R. Maxwell, Robert Meserole, H. C. Smith and the Pino-Lyptol Co. Prizes will be offered at the next meeting for three lettuces, two cauli- flowers and six tomatoes. J. M. Peekskill, N. Y.— Mrs. J. D. Sherman, the Paulding street florist, recently pre- sented to the board of park commis- sioners a fine specimen of Paulownia imperialis which she had grown from seed sent to her some years ago by the Department of Agriculture at Wash- ington. It will be planted in Depew park. ROSES Strong, clean plants in 2i2-inch pota ready for a ehift now, April 1.

A great surplus of cut flowers was on hand last week, due to the sunshine and warmer weather. All kinds of flowers, roses, carnations, violets and sweet peas were down in price, and great quantities found their way to the rubbish barrel. Business has kept up well since Easter, but the supply was far greater than the demand; hence the accumulation of stock. Funeral work has been most heavy, and a few good weddings and decorations helped to keep the florists busy. The quality of carnations and roses is much better than the prices indicate. Violets show symptoms of spring fever, for they begin to drop their petals, lose their color and curl up in the neck of the flower. Sweet peas are taking the place of violets, for they are fine. Gardenias are coming into the market in splendid shape and pan- sies are used largely for corsages. Val- ley is good, but not overabundant, and snapdragons are finding great favor in the downtown stores, and flowering plants of all kinds are much in demand. Cut ferns and asparagus are plentiful. Various Notes. Miss Lillian Wheeler, of the Roches- ter Floral Co., has been ill for a week with tonsilitis, but is expected back at work soon. William Palmer, of Buffalo, N. Y., was in town April 15 on business. J. B. Keller Sons had a pretty spring window of lavender crocus and white tulips, with a background of palms. George Boucher has some fine Lady Washington geraniums, which seem to sell well. The Maurer & Haap Co. reports that the spring trade in nursery stock and seeds has begun in earnest. H. E. Wilson has temporarily rented his recently acquired place to a tailor. He will not occupy it himself for a time at least. Harry P. Neun has opened his nur- sery department and is selling seeds, shrubs and ornamental trees, as well as cut flowers and plants. The Rochester Home Circle, the la- dies' florists' club, elected the follow- ing ofiicers at a meeting held April 12 at the home of Mrs. William Keller: President, Mrs. William Keller; first vice-president, Mrs. Fred Vick^ second vice-president, Mrs. Edwin Wilson; third vice-president, Mrs. Chas.

Trade continues quiet, which means that stock is plentiful. There has been little funeral work in the last week, also only a slight amount of decorating. Carnations have shortened somewhat, but sweet peas are more than plentiful. Callas and Easter lilies are plentiful, while orchids, valley and violets are not having much call. Beauties and other roses are first-class stock. Snap- dragons and iris are receiving a good call. The flower market is overflowing with stock, but business is reported un- satisfactory. Various Notes. E. A. Nelson has been spending a week at Lake Webster, fishing. Paul Hoffman, with A. Wiegand & Sons, spent a few days in Chicago last week. S. T. Hitz has been cutting some first- class snapdragon. John Bertermann and family have removed to their Cumberland home for the summer. Carl Sonnenschmidt is the latest flo- rist to purchase an automobile. He is spending most of his time acquainting himself with the mechanism of a new Premier roadster. Alfred Brandt spent a day in Rich- mond this week. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Rieman, of Con- nersville, were visitors last week. A. Wiegand & Sons received a large shipment of box trees this week. Baur & Steinkamp have material on hand for a new 300-foot house. This firm reports a heavy sale on small geraniums this year, having entirely sold out of them. H. L. W. BROCKTON, MASS. W. W. Hathaway reports that in spite of more competition he had the best Easter on record. It was a great plant season. Lilies led, as usual. Next in favor came bulbous plants, followed by rambler roses, azaleas and lilacs. Few plants were left unsold. In cut flowers, violets were scarce and rather poor, with a heavy demand. Carna- tions sold well, but roses were less called for. Department stores com- peted with the flower stores with Easter lilies, which they sold at 12^ cents to 15 cents per bud and bloom, but the florists easily sold out their entire stock at higher prices than these.

The wholesalers are decidedly busy people just now, handling immense quantities of flowers of all kinds, and to the uninitiated they would seem to be coining money, but there is nothing to it. Some of the prices at which the big lots of stock are unloaded would disgust a peanut merchant, but it must be got rid of at some price. One can get almost anything he wants and the more he buys the less his bill is, as the merchants seem to offer premiums to anyone who will get a big lot out of sight. Now, that's wholesale. Among the retailers things are not so bad. They are going along doing a nice business and can get just what they want when they want it, and at the right price. So these deluge times do not worry them so much, if they keep off the streets where the fakers are working, but it always gives a florist more or less of a pain to see a faker disposing of stock at his prices, no matter what the quality. Plantsmen are beginning to get saucy. Just a few more days and planting will begin; even if a few are frozen, that is all the better, but the market displays are getting better every day. Hoo-Hoo. EVANSVUJiE, IND. The Market. Business since Easter has been quiet. Cut flowers of all kinds are plentiful, also potted plants. The outside plant- ing has not yet begun in earnest, owing to the uncertainty of frost and exces- sive rains. Various Notes. C. L. Niednagel has given up his plan of moving away from this city and will begin the erection of two houses on his home place at once. The houses will be .'54x250 feet each and planted to American Beauties and Kil- larney for wholesale. He will run his place independently of the other plant. He has just refused $9,000 for his four and one-third acres of ground, but may sell a part of it later. Karl Zeidler is putting in concrete benches in his new houses. Carl Elspermann has returned home, but will go away again. He has been with Bassett & Washburn, at Hinsdale, HI., and Harry Hoffman, of Jackson- ville, 111., for several months. E. L. F.

Bone meal is prepared by boiling the raw bones under sufficient steam press- ure to remove the fat, after which they are ground into a somewhat gritty meal which contains from four to five per €ent of nitrogen and forty-five to forty- eight per cent of phosphate. Though the fat has been removed, the carti- lage remains, and this has the effect of retarding the breaking up of the particles after the meal has been ap- plied to the soil, so that it is considered a slow-acting manure. As, however, used on garden soils, which are usually ^jf an acid character, or as an in- srcdient of potting compost, where the roots are brought into intimate contact \vith it, the action is much quicker, 'liough even then the results of its use fhc second year after application 'Ijhould be little less than the first year, "here, however, the soil is sandy or I'oor in humus it would be better to use '\hat is known as bone flour, the differ- 'iice between this and bone meal being that the boiling of the raw bones is inducted under such a high pressure 'I steam, some fifty pounds to the quare inch, that not only is the fat '•amoved, but the whole of the car- tilaginous matter as well, with the re- "It that the bones can be ground into ■1 finer meal, which acts much more i-eadily in the soil, but it is at the I'xpense of a considerable portion of 'he nitrogen, the analysis being only ^'ne to one and one-half per cent of lutrogen, though as much as sixtv per 'ent or more of phosphate.

A MASSACHUSETTS RANGE. Will you kiudly iuforin me as to the bewt way to heat my greenhouses with hot water? My houses may be de- scribed as follows, beginning at the north side of the range: House No. 1 runs east and west. It is 20x108, ten feet high to the ridge and five feet to the eaves, and contains raised benches. At the west end of this house is the ])otting shed, and under the potting shed is a boiler — the larger one of the two boilers which are used to heat the range. House No. 2, which is three- quarter span, also runs east and west, along the south side of No. 1 and the potting shed. No. 2 is 26i{. x 132Vj, twelve feet high to the ridge, five feet high to the back eave and three feet to the front eave, and contains solid beds. Houses No. 1 and 2 are used for a general crop — carnations, chrys- anthemums and all sorts of pot jdants. South of these two houses, and par- allel with them, is a violet house, 10 x ;■)(), eight and one-half feet to the ridge and five feet to the eaves. Running across the east ends of Nos. 1 and 2 is a lean-to house which is used for l)ropagating. It is 9i/. x 52, seven feet high at the back and five feet at the front. The smaller of the two boilers is located in this propagating shed, at the east end of house No. 2. At present the houses are piped with 4-inch pipes, with calked joints, except a 3-inch flow and return in the center of each house. The boiler under the potting shed runs a 4-inch pipe — a flow and return — up each side of house No. 1, as well as a 3-inch flow and return up the center of the same house. It also runs a 4-inch flow and return up the north side of house No. 2. The boiler at the east end of house No. 2 runs a 4-inch pipe — a flow and return- around the propagating house, and a 4-inch flow and return up the south side of house No. 2, as well as a 3-inch flow and return up the center of the same house. In the violet house there are no pipes as yet. Now, these 4-inch pipes with calked joints do not do their work as T should like them to do it, for it keej)s me busy to prevent the houses from freezing in zero weather, although I believe the boilers could do the work if the houses were properly piped with smaller pipes. What size of pipes would you advise me to put in, and how many flows and returns for each house? I should also like to run a jiipe, or as many as would be needed, into the violet house from house No. 2. This would be in- tended merely to keep it from freezing, while in the other houses I should like to run the temperature as near .lO de- grees as ])ossible, in zero weather. My location is near Boston, Mass. R. K. R. The letter does not give any idea of the capacity of the two boilers and hence it is not i)ossible to tell just how the radiation should be divided be- tween them. It is suggested that from the boiler under the jmtting room a 3-inch flow- run directly east under the ridge of house No. 1, and that when over the east end of the middle bench a 'Jij-inch pipe be dropped down and used to feed A Steady Pressure will always be main- tained in ▼our steam pipes, no matter now the pressure at the boiler fluctuates, if you equip your main lines with these valves. Carry 40 or 60 pounds pressure on the boiler, set the Hughson Regulating Valve to carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line and you will always have a reserve in case of a sudden drop in temperature.

To heat the coil under the south bench of house No. 2, run a 3-inch flow pipe on the plate of the south wall. At a point opposite the west end of the violet house take off a 2i/b-inch pipe and carry it through just below the level of the plant, into the violet house, where it should be connected with coils of three 2-inch pipes under each of the benches. The flow pipe should be con- tinued to the west end of house No. 2, where it should be dropped down and connected with a coil of four 2-inch returns under the south bench, which starts under the bench at the northwest corner of house No. 2. In the propagating house run a 2y»- inch main under the ridge to the north end and connect with a coil of three 2-inch pipes under each of the side benches. These, of course, should be joined, and should be connected with ithe boiler by means of a 2^-inch main return. ^ A MICHIGAN CARNATION HOUSE. Kindly let me know how many lengths of 2-inch pipe will be needed to heat a carnation house 21 x 62, six feet high to the gutter and eleven feet high to the ridge. The north side and both ends are exposed; the south wall con- sists of two feet of concrete and four feet of glass. Please state, also, how many 3-inch flow pipes will be required. ^ J. W. L. To heat a carnation house 21 x 62 feet, with four feet of glass in one wall, when the mercury is 20 degrees below zero, it will be well to use two 3-inch flow pipes and ten 2-inch re- turns. Under the conditions mentioned, however, it might be still better to use three 214-iiich flow pipes and nine 2- inch returns. One flow pipe could then be upon each wall and the other under the ridge, with the returns distributed under the benches, or a part of these could be upon each wall, if preferred.

OHIO Uttie Stories of ANCIENT IH)TTERY The earliest record of pottery Is found In tiK- flrst book of Moses (Gen. xl., 2, 3), where it is said of the wandering families of men, iliat "as they .lourneyed from the east, they found a plain In the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another. Go to, let us make brick and burn them tbor- oiighl.v. And they had brick for stone and slime for mortar." Men who knew how to iiiiike brick, of course, had pottery in other forms. The oldest bricks hitherto discovered were found at Warka. They bear the name of King Urukh and a dedication to the moon, and are supposed to date 2200 B. C. Perhaps in nothing is the enduring cliaracter better illustrated than In the fact that on hrlcks of that date are vls- il)lo the marks of the feet of birds and weasels, which ran over them when tbey were lying in the sun to dry before baking. Among the most remark- able objects in pottery are coffins found by a Mr. Layard at Nltfer, and in vast numbers at Warkaw. by a Mr. Loftus, who says tUat this spot appears to have been a sacred burial place for a period of probably 2500 years. He found the burial mounds to be literally masses of the dead to the depth of tiO feet, and he estimated the depth to be 30 feet more. The custom seems to have been to make tUe lower part of the coffin, which received the body, and then place or mould over it the Ud and then bake the Jar with the enclosed remains. Mr. Loftus found numerous specimens in a form resembling an oval dish cover, the sides sloping out toward the base. These were from 4 to 7 feet long, 2 feet wide, and from 1 to 3 feet deep. But tli<> most interesting coffins were slipper shaped: tlie oval opening closed with a lid. These were ornamented with embossed fig- ures of warriors, in panels, the whole visible surface covered with a rich green enamel on the exterior, and blue within the aperture. The interior shows traces of red matting. The coffins probably date from the Sassarrean Period. All kinds FLORISTS' BED POTS, all sizes.

[Concluded from paee 15.1 and had little or no trouble from this disease, which goes to prove that it is a hot weather disease. Peas for mid- winter blooming were sown in August at a new location, remote from the older houses, where as yet I could find no trace of this troublesome disease. Possibly by using movable greenhouses we could travel ahead of this trouble. The green worms never caused us much trouble until last season, when they seemed to come in droves. I tried poisoning with different compounds, but few seemed to be killed by this means and we had to resort to hand-picking. Bud-dropping is caused by too sud- den changes from long continued warm weather to dark, cloudy weather or the reverse, or by too high an artificial temperature, followed by a sudden drop. The Right Temperature. As to temperature, during midwinter we run a night temperature of 50 to 55 degrees and 60 to 65 degrees during bright, clear weather. Toward spring we drop to 45 or 47 degrees at night, with the same day temperature as dur- ing midwinter. Sweet peas require constant attention after the vines are tall enough for sup- ports, so that they may be kept grow- ing erect. In fact, from that time on during the blooming period more labor is required than for any other green- house crop— that is, if you wish to handle the stock carefully and for profit. Though the demand for these flowers is increasing, so also is the supply, and I find that you must have decidedly better stock now than sev- eral years ago, to obtain a fair, average price. We ship altogether to commission houses in different cities, which I con- sider the only way to market cut flowers. ^__ Quincy, HI. — F. W.

The market last week was just what everyone expected it would be after Easter. There was a heavy glut of ptock of all kinds and a light demand. Sweet peas have been the one excep- tion, as the demand for this popular flower has kept the supply cleaned up daily. The consignments of Easter lilies have been extremely heavy; many growers have come in one to two weeks late with their Easter lots and these have flooded the market. The quality of roses, especially Killarney and "White Killarney, was never better at this sea- son of the year. Carnations are also of No. 1 quality. Greens, such as plumosus, Sprengeri and adiantum, have had a strong call. Callas are about to bid their farewell for this season. Advertising Mothers' Day. A campaign to advertise Mothers' day has been started here. The results obtained last year from this source were so gratifying to the local florists that the movement this year meets with ready response. A committee has been appointed by the Florists' Club to so- licit subscriptions, ranging from $5 to $20, from each firm, according to the amount of their business; $300 is the amount which has been subscribed, which is much larger than the fund of last year, and great results are ex- pected. Banners are to be placed on street cars, autos and delivery wagons. Cards are to be displayed in street cars, and announcements are to be made in the local papers. Any florist who looks back and sees the amount of business he did last year as the result of such advertising can not help but subscribe freely this year. Let everybody boost Mothers' day, not only by the wearing of carnations, but by the sending of baskets of flow- ers, potted plants, loose flowers, etc. It is bound to become a great day for the florist, if properly advertised. Various Notes. The Cleveland Florists' Club is to hold a May party at Chamber of In- dustry hall in the near future. The ex- act date will be announced later. The Bate brothers, Guy, Herbert and George, will guide their annual fishing party to their summer camp at Mud Lake, near Akron, next week.

Since last week's issue of The Ee- view reached the trade, wholesale flo- rists all over the country have had a steadily increasing number of inquiries and orders for special supplies for Mothers' day, May 12. It is apparent that the retail florists everywhere are jiieparing for a greatly increased de- mand, excellent as was the business for Mothers' day last year. It is right and proper that retailers should assure themselves of adequate supplies for this, the same as for other special flower days. But one thing should not be overlooked: Mothers' day is not an old and well established flower day, like Easter or Decoration (lay; Mothers' day is in its infancy, so to speak, and the public, proverbially short-minded, may forget "to honor the best mother who ever lived — your own," unless reminded of it. Don't Let Them Forget. He is either a venturesome or a short-sighted retailer who stocks up heavily for Mothers' day and does nothing to bring the day to public notice. The Mothers' day advertising done last year will bear fruit again this season, but don't trust to that. Em- ploy whatever form of advertising you have found best suited to your local needs, but by all means do something to bring Mothers' day to the attention of your customers. The best way to boost Mothers' day is to advertise it in the daily papers. A lot of mayors and governors have issued proclamations, but a good many of them have neglected to mention the wearing of flowers, or their use in Mothers' day decorations. That is up to the florists. If your ingenuity is equal to a special Mothers' day win- dow decoration, put it on, but at least get some nicely lettered display cards for your window. Push Colored Flowers. The momentum gained in the last couple of years and the fresh impetus fliven by the Mothers' day articles in recent issues of the big magazines and newspapers insure a demand for more white carnations than it will be pos- sible to supply. Mothers ' day is not an occasion which will stand high prices; indeed, the greatest danger lies in too jrreat an increase in values. Therefore it is necessary for everyone to do his part toward turning the demand, not away from white carnations, but to include other colors and other flowers. We do not want a Mothers' day limited hy the possibilities of supplying white carnations. To have its full value to the trade the use of every flower must ^e appropriate to Mothers' day. Of course it is easier to work along the lines of least resistance and sell everyone white carnations as long as they last, but after that we either have to shut up shop or sell the people some- thing else. Might as well begin at the beginning and push colored stock; sell it wherever you can, but give them white when they will not take anything else. White flowers for Mother's memory. Bright flowers tor Mothers living. Let that phrase appear in all your Mothers' day publicity. Those who tried it last year found that it worked finely. See the letters on page 10 of last week's issue of The Eeview. Note what the Idle Hour Nurseries, of Macon, Ga., said: "We got our leading local paper to reprint 'The Story of Mothers' Day' as it appeared in The Review and we took the advertisement The Review suggested, containing the lines: A White flower for Mother's memory. Bright flowers for Mothers living. ' ' The advertisement we spread across five columns of the paper, using a space five inches deep. The results were be- yond our expectations. White flowers had ^first call, but bright flowers had an even larger sale, for there were more of them. The Review is entitled to credit for showing the trade how to popularize the day so quickly." THE WHITE CABNATION. Mothers' day has inspired the people as nothing else has done — and it is easy to get newspaper publicity for it. The average florist will prefer to feature White flowers for Mother's memory, Bright flowers for Mothers living — but if you think your supply of white carnations will stand it, hand the fol- lowing verses by Margaret E. Sangster to your local newspaper with a request for publication in a Mothers' day ar- ticle May 11: THE WHITE CARNATION. Here's to the white carnation. Sturdy and spicy and sweet, Wafting a breath of perfume On the stony way of the street; Bringing a freight of gladness Wherever the breezes blow: Here's to the white carnation, Pure as the virgin snow. This Is the flower for Mother, Wear It on Mothers' day; Flower for rain and sunshine. Winsome, gallant and gay. Wear it in Mother's honor. Pinned to the coat's lapel; Wear it in belt and corsage, F'or her that you love so well. For Mother in lowly cabin. Or Mother In palace hall, Is ever the truest and dearest. And ever the best of all. In travail and pain she bore us. In laughter and love she nursed. And who that would shame the Mother Is of all mankind accursed. Tired and wan too often. Weary and weak at times. But always full of the courage That thrills when the future chimes. Mother with hands toil-hardened. Mother in pearls and lace. The light of heavenly beauty Shines In her tender face. So here's to the white carnation. Wear it on Mothers' day; Flower that blooms for Mother, Winsome, gallant and gay. Flower of perfect sweetness. Flower for hut and hall. Here's to the white carnation. And to Mother — Our Best of All. <»?».<<^' r^rssrEsr^STSsr^KTS^LSS )-fer»»'^?»)'fer»)-'yr»>-fe»>-fe:»>-fe»>' ^ THE RETAIL FLORIST i t W?».<»^<*^'»^.<»^.<»^<»^<#^.<*^:fe»>'fer»>'fer»>'fer»)V:ys-^r»>-fer»>'yr»)'fe:^>' r^»S CONVENTIONAL DESIGNING. Its Adaptability to Decorating. The most general meaning given to conventional designing, as regards floral art, was discussed in a former article and was found to be the common or customary method of executing designs; it was also stated that the word con- ventional may be applied to the set design itself. The three methods more or less conventional at the present time — the so-called loose style, the solid style and the foliage back- ground— were considered. This discussion led up to a question as to whether the second meaning of the term conventional has any applica- tion to floral designing. The sense of the derived application is this: A re- moval from close representation of na- ture by a system of rejecting and se- lecting— what? Lines. It is a process of analyzing and separating the form of the flower into the lines which unite to make its outline, adapting these lines and reproducing therefrom a shape which retaini^the characteristics of the pattern flower, is enough like it to be recognized, but still is not an exact re- production. The Fleur-de-lis as an Example. A familiar illustration is seen in the conventional fleur-de-lis, common in jewelry, wall paper, embroidery and book-cover designs. A little study of this conventional fleur-de-lis will show that a new figure is created, resembling the original, but more adapted to orna- mental uses. The separated lines are brought together, retaining the princi- pal ones and leaving out the less important. Compare the two — the iris flower with the conventional fleur-de-lis —and you will find that the flat picture is the skeleton of the flower; yes, more; it is the spirit of it. It has stripped the flower of its deceptive high lights and color body, with the supporting stem, and revealed the simplicity and clearness of its one set of lines, of its own idea. But where and how does all this apply to floral designing? Possibly more in- directly than directly— by influencing one's style; by teaching an observer 10 The Weekly Florists' Review. May 2, 1912. how to make and combine lines, to trace them as they grow from a common source; their sweep, the fine sense of proportion in the completed figure. The Architectural Festoon. For another example of conventional- ized design, hunt out a festoon or gar- land as used in architectural ornament or frescoing. Here is a design which can be drafted bodily for wall decora- tions, either as a single drape or as a decoration continued around the room. It may be elaborated by the addition of wreaths, ties, baskets, balls or other decorative features, to suit the occasion — for Christmas, immortelle balls or bells or wreaths; for a wedding, baskets of flowers, or bells. Use but one kind of the objects in one decoration, plac- ing them at regular intervals; that is, a wreath may be placed in the center of the space above each drape; or, if the basket feature is to be used, hang a basket from the supporting point of each festoon. Following the Classic Outlines. Study the proportions of the classic festoon carefully. Notice, for instance, the length of the drape as regards the depth. If green is the decorative ma- terial employed, see that the heavy and light parts, if there are such, come at the same point in each drape. If the festooning is made of flowers, they should be of uniform size and placed at regular intervals. Make each fes- toon the exact reproduction of the others as to weight, depth and length. You should also know what kind of room to put such a design in. Well, then, what kindf Does conventional designing do away with originality in floral decorating! In other departments of ornamental art it is considered the highest type of A LOS ANaEI.ES STORE. J. W. Welters, of Los Angeles, Cal., has long been well and favorably known to the trade as a progressive retailer and at his store on Fourth street, the Angelus, the most up-to-date methods always have been employed. The store shown in the accompanying illustration is a new one, situated at 627 South Hill street, and no expense has been spared to make it one of the finest and most artistic in the country. The walls and ceiling ere old gold, the woodwork be- ing finished in mission style, while a large number of pieces of valuable stat- uary, hammered brass, alabaster ware and other costly furnishings have been added. Since the photograph was taken a number of choice large palms have been received from an eastern grower, the specimens here shown being from a local firm. At the rear are rooms for the reception of visitors, and a rest room. While every convenience for customers is provided, there also are ample facilities for carrying on the work, and a light, roomy office. A rear entrance prevents anything having to be brought in through the store and altogether it can not fail to raise the tone of the trade in the city. H. B. R. BLACKISTONE'S BOUQUETS. The wedding bouquets shown on page 15 were some of those made by Z. D. Blackistone, Washington, D. C, for a wedding April 24, the bridal party being the largest Mr. Blackistone ever has seen. It consisted of twenty-four persons. The bride carried a shower bouquet of orchids, lilies of the val- ley and orange blossoms.

The bridesmaids marched in pairs and each pair carried the same shade of bouquets. There was a decoration at the church and at Eauscher's, where a large recep- tion was held. About 500 strings of Asparagus plumosus and 1,000 Amer- ican Beauty roses, in addition to a quantity of dogwood and white lilac were used for the two decorations. THE WBEATH. Some of Its Popular Forms. Until a few years ago the wreath was the most popular of all funeral de- signs, but the advent of the spray or bunch of flowers has made a consider- able difference in its popularity. It will generally be admitted that the usual circular wreath, of the same size all around, was not particularly beauti- ful or artistic, though there were many exceptions to this rule. Even now a good deal of this class of work that is sent out leaves much to be desired. There are many forms of the wreath still used, some elaborate, others quite simple, and it is hoped that, in men- tioning a few of the most successful of these, a hint or two may be given that will be useful to beginners in their work. Groundwork of White Carnations. A type of wreath that is extremely satisfactory as a show window design is made solid with white carnations, one half being thickened out into a kind of broad crescent. On this part of the wreath a spray of flowers is fas- tened and there is room for a number of changes to be carried out on the same foundation, thus giving a good variety with only a small outlay. Boses, for instance, may be used one day, brought high in the center of the crescent and gradually becoming smaller until they run out to a single flower or spray above the center of the wreath on each side. This sounds like a stiflf arrangement, but, if properly carried out, it is far from that, and is quite effective. Any other flower in season, excepting white, could be used in a similar way, and the groundwork of carnations will last for a week or more if fresh when made up. Magnolia Leaves and Other Foliage. Simple yet telling wreaths are often made on a somewhat sifhilar plan as the foregoing, but with magnolia leaves instead of carnations. The magnolia leaves are wired singly and are closely placed over the foundation of the wreath. Here the decorator has a chance to introduce various other kinds of foliage, such as croton or pandanus leaves, small palms of such species as the cocos or geonoma, or the prepared fronds of Cycas revoluta. Large bunches of purple violets, Easter lilies, gladioli and other large flowers may also be used here with striking and good effect, especially in the larger sized wreaths. There is room here, too, for bold display in the properly selected broad ribbons, in green, red or violet shades. Try them out, and it is a hundred to one that some really beau tiful and striking combinations will be discovered, as it were, accidentally. Making Every Flower Tell. Returning to the smaller, cheaper wreaths, it is astonishing how little stock a good decorator will use and yet get satisfactory results. Too often the beginner in wreath making sticks his flowers in quite indiscriminately. He has no idea, or only a vague one, as to how much stock he is going to use or what the wreath will look like when he gets through, but just trusts to luck. MAT 2, 1»12. The Weekly Florists' Review. 11 Funeral Wreath of Gaiaz and Rotes. and, if he has a few flowers left — well, in they go for luck too. The result is ii crowded mass of flowers, a poor effect from a large quantity of stock. The experienced wreath maker, on the other hand, will use far fewer flow- ors, but will make every one tell. Each l^loom stands out by itself and can be wen, while, with the addition here !ind there of a little adiantum or some other green, a perfect wreath results, with little expenditure for stock. Natural and Acquired Skill. Perhaps there is no other phase of work so difficult to give advice upon as the arrangement of flowers. So much lies in aptitude for the work, i^kill in color and form blending, and a knowledge of what is fitting in vari- ous circumstances. Some men never get the knack of it; with others it comes natural, but all will find that the best I'esults follow when every flower and every leaf shows distinctly. A blur of colors is not a picture, and a mass of flowers without any form or shape is not good work. Each man must study and experiment for himself and be always on the look- out for newer and more striking ideas than he has been following. Only in this way can continued artistic success be expected in wreath making, as in any other branch of the florists' work. ANOTHEB SWINDLE. In New York a young man has been arrested on a charge of grand larceny made by John Changuris, of the firm of Changuris Bros., florists at 980 Sixth avenue. It is charged that he obtained flowers from Changuris by representing himself over the telephone as one of the florists ' regular customers. It is alleged by Changuris that April 3 some one called up his place on the telephone, gave the name of the customer and de- sired to have a bunch of roses sent to the Savoy theater. The flowers were delivered there by a messenger _ boy. This same procedure was followed, ac- cording to Changuris, April 6 and April 18. At the conclusion of this last delivery the bill was nearly $70 and Changuris became su8]()icipu9' The messenger boy described the man to whom he had delivered the flowers. It was not the customer. When the same kind of a telephone message was next received Mr. Changuris went to the theater with the messenger boy and caused -the arrest of the man who was waiting to receive the flowers.

FLORAL WORK AT THE U. OF I. • Ibiriny the last li.alf sem.'-trr four students in floriculture at the I'niver sity of Illinois have been takiui: the course in floral is to ^ive thi' students a knowleijue of decorative materiaU and their uses. Tlu' lectures of the .-ourse 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mat 2, 1912. covered such subjects as decorative ma- terials, accessory materials, studies in arrangements and such other points as are of interest to the decorator. The laboratory work consisted in the prei'a- ration of designs, sprays, baskets and other floral arrangements. The course was completed April 4. Early in February the class made a trip to Lafayette, Ind., to study tho details of the new workshop of the F. Dorner & Sons Co. Before the close of the course it was decided that an exhibition of decorative work should be held April 20 in the auditorium of the university. Miss Emily Dorner^ of La- fayette, took part in the exhibition and assisted the students in the preparation of the various floral arrangements. About 1,200 university and town people attended the exhibition. Each visitor was presented with a flower as a souvenir. The various exhibits were numbered and catalogued as are the paintings at an art exhibition. The catalogue was neatly printed in the form of a program and gave a description of the flowers used in each of the thirty pieces ex- hibited. The affair was a great success in every way and did much credit to the instructor and the class, who were M. E. Bebb, H. B. Henley, R. M. Hen- ley and W. K. Palmer. Three of the pieces were photographed for The Re- view and are shown on pages 12 and 13. SEEDLING PERENNIALS. Perennials of all kinds which were started under glass in February or early March can be planted outdoors at once. Choose a cloudy day for set- ting them out. They are all much bet- ter in nursery rows left sufficiently far apart to allow of ample cultivation. Some varieties, such as delphiniums, will need more space than, for instance, the weaker growing aquilegias. All like well enriched soil, and, if kept well stirred among, will make strong stock for fall sales. Quite a few of these early started perennials will flower the first year, and you can hardly work up too big a stock of the leading varieties, as the call for them steadily increases. BOOTED BUNNEBS PBEFEBABLE. In the propagation of violets, can as good results be obtained from separa- tions as from rooted runners? I would be glad to know the experience of other growers. H. A. M. Rooted runners are preferable to divi- sions. In his monograph on the violet, published serially in The Review, B. T. Galloway said: "It is highly impor- tant that the grower begin with good stock. Every year from February to the middle of summer the advertisers in The Review offer violet stock for sale. Rooted runners are offered all the way from $5 to $10 per thousand. Our preference has always been for good, strong, sand-rooted runners, which 'hould be ready to take from the bench by the middle of March. In many cases the growers wait until after the main Easter picking is over and then adver- tise stock for sale. This stock is for the most part divided crowns, which are not as good as sand-rooted runners put in earlier. It is better to pay $io per thousand for good sand-rooted run- ners than $5 for indifferent divided crowns. "The stock secured, it may be either potted off into 2-inch pots and placed in coldframes, where plenty of air and water can be given, or in flats. Our preference has always been for flats, for the reason that the plants do not seem to dry out so readily, and make a better root growth. We use flats fifteen inches wide, two feet long and two and one- half inches deep, and put about seventy- five to 100 plants to the flat. Plants will stand in these flats until planting time, the middle or last of April. The young stock will have to be watched carefully, and in addition to keeping them well watered, care should be exer- cised in the matter of syringing for the purpose of keeping off red spider. A thorough syringing once a day will pre yent this pest, taking care to do this work always early in the morning, so that the plants will dry off before night. ' ' LABQE VIOLETS. Please tell me if our violets arc extra size! We have lots of them that are one and one-quarter inches one way and one and three-quarter inches tho other. They look more like pansies. They have stems twelve inches long. People who come here say they never have seen anything like them. J. A. L.

I presume the variety is Princess of Wales, which continues the leader among singles. C. W. MEXICAN IVY. I shall be pleased to see in The Ee- view a note on the eo-called Mexican ivy, together with its botanical name and any facts about its manner of growth, habitat, etc. P. B. The Mexican ivy got its trade name from the first handler in wholesale mar- kets— he recognized it as a good new green for retail florists and, probably not knowing its real name, gave it a title that would not put his competitors on the trail to the actual source of sup- ply. Botanically, Mexican ivy is van- couveria. liailey's cyclopedia says that van- couveria is named after Capt. George Vancouver, commander of the Discovery on the historical voyage to the north- west coast in 1791-95. Vancouveria is df^scribed as a genus of three species ot low, hardy perennial herbs native to the Pacific slope, from central Cali- fornia north to British Columbia. They aic shade-loving plants, with slender, •■'voping rootstocks and radical, two to t!irt>e ternately compound leaves, some- what like maidenhair or rue, and rather ^mall white or yellow flowers in an open I'iinicle on a naked scape. Vancouverias ^i'"e not showy plants, but have foliage 0' an elegant and refined type. The leaves submitted for identifica- I'f'n appear to be from Vancouveria, I'l'merly known as Epimedium, hex- !"'(]ra, or V. chrysantha, native to the ' acific Coast range mountains from cen- ■■'1 California northwards to Oregon. IS a moisture-loving herbaceous plant ■'11 led to berberis, and is locally known >oth as flowering fern and inside-out Tower. Both V. hexandra and V. chrys- antha occur in shady forests near Santa ruz, Cal., and are not easy to dis- I'Dguish apart from the foliage alone, Tnough chrysantha generally has round- Bouqtset Shown at the U. of I. er leaflets species trade. IS It is likely foliage of both collected for the florists' W. Van Fleet. The botanical name of the sample of leaves sent us is Vancouveria parviflora. The common name is Mexican ivy or ivy maidenhair. It belongs to the bar- berry family, and is sometimes called American barrenwort. There are one or two other species found on the Pacific coast. This one, however, is the stiflfest and most compact growing and has be- come quite a feature in the green goods department of the trade. E. G. WALLS OF CONCRETE BLOCKS. I noticed in The Eeview of April 18 an inquiry concerning the use of con- crete blocks in greenhouse construction. The inquiry is signed J. G., and reads as follows: "Will some reader of The Review please give his experience with concrete blocks used in greenhouse walls? Does the frost come through and, freeze the plants next to the con- crete wall, in a temperature of 40 or 45 degrees at night? Any information regarding this will be greatly appre- icgaiuiiiff inis will DC greatly ap] ciated. My location is southern Ali * • gan. chi- Now, our experience with that sort of greenhouse wall, here in the rigor- ous climate of Waterloo, Province of Quebec, ought to be of use to J. G. We are using an 8-inch hollow block wall in all our construction, and find it far ahead of anything else. We have found from actual experience that it will stand a full week, with an average night temperature of 15 degrees below zero, without frosting on the inside, whereas a solid wall will frost through the second night. I do not think that J. G. would have any trouble at all with freezing of his jplants under the conditions he mentions, as long as they do not actually touch the wall. Fred A. Slack. Chicago, HI.— J. H. Burdett, 1620 West One Hundred and Fourth place, press agent for the National Council of Horticulture, has begun the distribution of the sixth spring series of articles for the daily papers. The first installment consists of three articles: "High Liv- ing at Low Cost," "Points About Seed Sowing," and "Vegetables for City Back Yards." 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review. May 2, 1912. ac ac ac ac F SEASONABLE s^ 1| \ 9^ SUGGESTIONS j i ac: ac >\i. Gloxinias. •»* The earliest batch of gloxinia plants should now be coming into flower. Give them a warm house and a moderate amount of shade. If too much shade is used the-foliage will be of a fine dark green color, but the flower stems will be weak and floppy. Avoid spraying the foliage or you will soon disfigure it. Just as soon as the sun strikes any damp leaves, they will be badly burned and, if the foliage is once scorched, the plants are practically unsalable. Where a batch of these showy plants is wanted for flowering in August, the dormant tubers should be started now. These will do well from this time on in an ordinary greenhouse, always tak- ing care that the sun is not allowed to scorch the leaves. Seedlings started last February are now in 3-inch pots and almost ready for a shift. These, if kept growing on, will make useful stock for flowering in July and August. Gloxinias should not be too firmly potted and the compost at the final shift should be light but rich, with a good proportion of sand added. Fancy Caladiums. Those attractive plants, the fancy- leaved caladiums, are particularly valu- able for bedding in the warmer states, but, while they will make a fair amount of growth as far north as Boston and Chicago, they cannot be depended upon as bedding plants. For pot culture they are, however, extremely useful. "* They are at their best at the hottest part of the year, at which time really good flowering plants are not plentiful, and for room decoration, also on piazzas which are not too exposed, the fancy-leaved caladiums come in use- fully. They enjoy a warm, moist house to make their growth in and, while they like a little shade under glass, it should be light or the naturally rich colors of the leaves will be dulled. For com- post, they grow well in fibrous loam, decayed cow manure, leaf-mold and sand. They also grow finely if some ferflx^ber is mixed in the soil; it helps to keep it porous at the same, time. Liquid manure once a week can be given as soon as the plants are well rooted around the pots. There are many beautiful varieties of fancy-leaved caladiums and as they are of easy culture, no florist need be afraid to try them. Many fail to carry the roots over winter successfully. To keep them properly, they need a tem- perature of not less than 60 degrees. Bay Trees. After the first week in May it is al- ways safe to stand bay trees outside. They may get an occasional light frost after that date, but it will not hurt them. Exposure to strong light will probably turn the leaves brown on some plants and, to prevent this, they should be freely hosed overhead and sufficient moisture must be applied at the root. Plants badly pot or tub bound should have a shift, but in most cases if a good top-dressing is given it will suffice, supplementing this with liquid manure from time to time throughout the growing season. Plants which have become quite brown should be carefully sheared back; they will soon make new growths and make pre- sentable heads. In addition to bay trees, such evergreens as aucubas, cu- pressus, box trees, Araucaria imbricata, English and Irish yews and others which do not winter in the colder states, should be placed outdoors at once. Give them an abundant water supply and hose overhead freely and they will soon start away into active growth. Amaryllises. The flowering season for amaryllises will now be over, but if a fine crop of spikes is desired next winter and spring they must have the best of attention through the summer. If space permits they will do well in a greenhouse, espe- cially if they can be plunged. On the whole, however, the best plan is to plunge them in coldframes and leave sash protection over them all summer, shading a little from direct sunlight. Leave the sashes tilted up, both top and bottom, all the time and give the plants a hosing over every afternoon, or if, perchance, the day is unusually hot. two or three sprayings will be apprg. ciated. When plunged to the brimg in old manure or leaves, the plants will not require frequent waterings, even in the hottest weather, and then plunged plants always produce much bigger bulbs than the unplunged ones. Keep seedling plants potted on as they need it. They will make quite large bulbs in one season if carefully looked after, and a large proportion will flower th» second year. * "i *" Asters. '' •* ■ Early asters, such as Early Wonder and Queen of the Market, shoul(t now be gradually hardened off, and planting out can be done from the early part to the end of May, according to the lati- tude. A light freeze will not harm them. Of course ground well enriched is necessary for a fine crop of flowers. It is a pure waste of time to plant in poorly prepared ground. Nine to twelve inches apart in the rows, with the rows twenty-four inches apart, will suffice for these early varieties. The late batches are better allowed thirty to thirty-six inches between the rows. Now is a suitable time to make a good sowing of such varieties as Crego, Vick's Branching, the Ostrich Plume varieties and Semple's for late flower- ing. A coldframe answers well for sow- ing now and is preferable to sowing outdoors, as watering can be attended to regularly and a larger percentage of germination ensured. Keep the sashes on until the seedlings are above ground; then remove them entirely unless per- chance a cold snap should make it nec- essary to cover them. These seedlings raised in the open are not subject to the various stem diseases which attack those started in heat. OUTDOOR PEAS. The early outdoor sowings of sweet peas are now above ground and the soil should be kept well stirred about them. Get supports in position as soon as possible, whether it be brush or wire netting. Stand some short, bushy twigs among the little seedlings for them to cling to. No doubt many of them have come up too thickly and should be thinned, leaving the plants three or four inches apart each way. A thick row of sweet peas makes a brave show of green, but it will never give nearly as fine flower spikes as those well thinned out and, furthermore, there is always likely to be a large number dying off during the season, something less seldom seen where plants are judi- ciously thinned. If any more sweet peas are to be sown, get them in at once. If delayed any more, the flowers will be of poor quality, as the growth will be forced with few roots to support them. The plants started in pots should go out at once. If they get the least potbound it is better to loosen the balls somewhat when planting them out. TEMPERATUEE FOR SWEET PEAS. In my paper on sweet peas, entitled "A Grower's Notes," which was pub lished in The Review of April 25, pag'? 14, I notice a mistake, by correcting which you will greatly oblige me. Thi< mistake was probably made in copying my manuscript on the typewriter, b( fore sending the copy to The Review, and is in regard to temperature. During midwinter we run a night temperature of 50 degrees, with a ten: perature of 55 degrees on cloudy day-> and 60 to 65 degrees during bright, clear weather. Toward spring we drop to 45 or 47 degrees at night, with the same day temperature as during mid winter. I shall be grateful to you if you will make this correction. Charles M. Weaver. MAY 2, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 15 bedding Bouquets by Z. D. Blackutone, Washington, D. C WHAT TO GEOW. I wish to have your valuable advice as to what to grow in the following: I have four greenhouses, heated by hot water, sizes as follows: Small green- house, 10x38; center greenhouse, 20 x "a; north house, 29x75, and west house, 34x35. The small house faces the south, then the center house, and the north. These houses run east and west. The west house is almost square. This is new business for me, but I am tend of the work. One of my green- houses is well adapted for violets and geraniums. In addition to the green- houses I have a 3-acre farm which '•fljoins same, which is good sandy loam. 1 want to use two-thirds of this for vegetables and the remainder for whatever you might suggest. The farm 's arranged under the Skinner system. I also have 400 hotbed sashes. What would you advise growing in them? E. S. You do not state what convenient markets you have, but presuming that you have one locally which can con- sume anything you may produce, you Would do well to restrict yourself to one or two crops. Violets would be a Rood crop to grow. Princess of Wales, ^'ngle, and Lady Hume Campbell, dou- '\le, are the best varieties. If you de- C'de to grow the doubles, plant a fair number of singles to provide sufficient leaves for bunching. Single violets are over by the end of March, and doubles a month later. You could, if you wish, plant chrysanthemums to follow them, in which ease it would be necessary for you to reserve one house for mum stock and propagating the same. Cuttings for single stems should go in during May or the early part of June. If you grow early mums, or even midseason ones, you could clean them out in time for single violets, which are benefited by one or two freez- ings before housing. If, in lieu of chrysanthemums, you preferred some vegetable crop to fol- low violets you could bring along toma- toes in pots and have these of good size to plant in as soon as the violets were pulled out, of course manuring the beds liberally first. Use such tomatoes as Comet, Lister's Prolific or Best of All for this purpose. Cucumbers are an- other vegetable crop you could grow, but tomatoes you would find of easier culture. The former require a warm, moist atmosphere, the latter a warm, dry and more airy house. Your hotbed sashes could be utilized, if desired, for single violets, which would give a heavy spring crop, or they could be devoted to lettuce, radishes, early beets, or such other vegetables as .your local market calls for. If you preferred to grow geraniums or other bedding plants, your houses would be suitable for their culture, and the coldframes would make it possible for you to grow an immense quantity of asters and other annuals if desired. On the ground outdoors sweet peas, asters and gladioli are the three flowers for which you would find the greatest call. With the Skinner system in operation you should be able to produce excellent crops of any of these. Single violets want an average night temperature of 40 degrees in winter; double violets, 45 degrees. Geraniums do well at 45 to 50 degrees. If such bedding plants as coleus and alternan- thera are grown, 60 degrees is neces- sary. Tomatoes want 60 degrees at night and cucumbers 5 degrees higher for best results. C. W.

The blanket design in the foreground of the illustration on this pag^ covered a space about 31^x6 feet.

Two oval de- signs, each 5x9 inches, extended length- wise through the middle of the bed, with a round design, six inches in diameter, on each side.

The Problem. Ever since the development of the idea that the destruction of our crops by insects was not necessarily the will of the Creator, the importance of con- trolling these pests has been realized and various methods have been em- ployed for the purpose. Briefly stated, the problem is: How can we destroy one form of life while it is on another form of life, without destroying or at least injuring the lat- ter? How can we destroy the living substance or protoplasm of the insect at a time when it is in close contact with another living substance, without the destruction of both? This is comparatively easy of solu- tion in the case of chewing insects, as poisons which will not injure the plant can be placed upon it, for consumption by the insect. But most of our worst pests do not feed in this way, but by sucking the sap from inside the plant, and for such pests stomach poisons are of no avail. For these insects the logi- cal complement to the stomach poison, therefore, is the contact insecticide, which destroys the insects which it touches. Difficulties at once arise, how- ever, in carrying out this idea, as many of the insects of this class are exceedingly minute and correspond- ingly difficult to reach with the spray. Others, in addition, seem to delight in locating in places where there is little opportunity ^ get at them, while others, still, are so thoroughly protected by covering scales, waxy threads or other repellent structures that a con- tact insecticide strong enough to pene- trate these protections and destroy the insects becomes dangerous to the plant the insects are on. The Need of Caution. It is only natural, therefore, realiz- ing that insects must breathe, and re- membering that gases penetrate every- where, that the idea of overcoming the difficulties mentioned by using poison- ous or suffocating gases should have been received with favor. Even by this method, however, danger of injury to the plant life cannot be avoided, for we must recognize from what has al- ready been said that the living sub- stance of a plant is liable to destruc- tion by anything which will cause the death of the living substance of an animal on it. We should, therefore, ex- pect to be able to kill by fumigation only such insects as are less resistant than the plants they are on. This is probably the reason why most fumiga- tions in the past have been made so weak that the results were often unsat- isfactory. It is only natural to be cau- tious in work of this kind, but caution A paper by H. T. Fernald, Ph. D., entomologist at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Am- herst, Mass.. read before the florists during Farmers' Week at Amherst. which gives a fumigation so weak that the most delicate insects fail to be de- stroyed is merely a waste of time and money. Of the various fumigi.,nts, sulphur has probably been used the longest. But sulphur apparently acts as vigor- ously on plants as on animals, which means that fumigation with this sub- stance at an effective strength is liable to produce disastrous results. The safest time to use sulphur is when a house is empty, using a strong dose, to clear out any insects which may be The Editor Is pleased w^hen a Reader presents Ills Ideas on any subject treated In tV»^ As exi>erlenoe is the bent teacher, so do 'we learn fastest by an exchanse of experiences.

WK SHAIX BX GLAD TO HKAR FROM TOU present and which might attack the next crop put in. Tobacco as a Fumigant. Tobacco as a fumigant needs little comment. The active substance, of course, is nicotine, of which in ordi- nary tobacco there is, on an average, only about four or five per cent — not enough to accomplish anything like thorough work. Vaporized, it will kill some plant lice, some thrips perhaps, and some adult white flies. But in every case certain stages of these in- sects, which are more resistant, remain unaffected and from them the house is soon restocked with trouble. To overcome this difficulty of the weakness of tobacco, extracts of vari- ous kinds containing larger amounts of nicotine have been placed on the mar- ket. These are, of course, more effi- cient, but even with them the more re- sistant stages of many pests survive until for their destruction it is neces- sary to use such a large amount of the material that the expense of treatment makes it prohibitive. Hydrocyanic Acid Gas. Hydrocyanic acid gas is perhaps the most active poisonous gas known — at least, at all well known. It can be produced from various chemicals, but until recently it has generally been ob- tained by adding sulphuric acid to po- tassium cyanide. It has been used ex- perimentally, and by comparing results a general rule for its production and application has been outlined and pub- lished and has come into quite general use for greenhouse work. Strangely enough, however, just what amounts of the various materials should be taken, and the best grades of these for the purpose, have only recently been care- fully investigated and the results of this work have not as yet become widely known. Let us consider the materials and methods of cyanide fumigation, then, in some detail. There must be a standard estab- lished in the production of the gas, if results are to be compared and conclu- sions drawn with any safety. The man who fumigates at a supposed certain strength of cyanide, but who uses the fifty per cent cyanide, which is the usual strength kept at drug stores, in- stead of the ninety-eight to ninety-nine per cent material, will of course get re- sults widely different from those ob- tained by persons using the stronger article. We must use standard mate- rials, then, if we use the same formula in their preparation. Purity of the Cyanide. Three materials are necessary — ^po- tassium cyanide, sulphuric acid and water. We have to consider their qual- ity and the quantity to use. It is important to use a cyanide which is practically pure. The ninety- eight to ninety-nine per cent grade manufactured by Merck is a reliable material, and the products of similar strength made by a number of other manufacturers are also satisfactory. With^ower grades less of the material from which the gas is formed is, of course, available, and there is also a question as to what result the presence of other substances may produce. With a fifty per cent cyanide, for example, there would be only about half as much cyanogen to combine with the hydrogen of the sulphuric acid as with the ninety-eight to ninety-nine per cent grade, and if among the constituents of the other fifty per cent there should be something which would combine Mat 2, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 21 ^ith the hydrocyanic acid gas as fast ^B it formed, there might be little or none of the gas left to do its work. Therefore, use a practically pure potas- sium cyanide. The Sulphuric Acid. Perhaps the sulphuTic acid is the most variable of the three factors used in fumigation. At least, it is exceed- ingly important that it should meet certain requirements if the treatment is to be satisfactory, as the use of a wrong grade of acid is liable to cause injury to foliage. Commercial sulphuric acid is satisfactory, provided it con- tains no nitric acid and is of the strength known as 66 degrees Baum6. Such an acid should average ninety- three to ninety-four per cent of actual sulphuric acid, the other six or seven per cent consisting of impurities of various kinds. Sulphuric acid is made either from free sulphur or from sul- phur combined with iron or copper and known as pyrites. Ordinarily the py- rites used contains arsenic, etc., to some extent. In the manufacture it be- comes mixed with fumes of nitric acid and, when pyrites is used rather than sulphur, much more nitric acid becomes mixed with the sulphuric acid produced than in the case where sulphur is taken. The nitric acid can be removed by refining, of course, but this in- creases the cost. The danger in having nitric acid present is that it is energetic in its action and also volatilizes readily. Ac- cordingly, when sulphuric acid contain- ing it is added to water, the heat pro- duced begins to volatilize the nitric acid, and when the cyanide is added it increases the heat, and the passing off into air of the hydrocyanic acid gas 'Causes the nitric acid also to pass into the air. When this condenses again on the leaves its action is vigorous and also extremely injurious, causing burn- ing wherever it touches. For the greatest economy of gas pro- duction, then, the acid should be of the grade known as 66 degrees Baum6, and in addition it should be entirely free from nitric acid. Proportions of the Ingredients. Of the water little need be said. It is, of course, possible that waters con- taining impurities might include some- thing which could modify the chemical process to some extent, but this, at least in New England, would in all probability never be the case. The proportions to use of these dif- ferent materials have been variously given at different times. One writer, who has been widely followed, says: "A half more acid, liquid measure- ment, than cyanide, and a half more water than acid are used." Another suggests a 1-2-3 ' formula. Eecent studies on this point have been based on the principle that when one chemi- cal acts upon another to produce a third, the amount actually used is al- ways the same, and the presence of more than enough of either simply means a surplus of it left unchanged at the completion of the combination. The actual process of combination of the chemicals is expressed as follows: 2KCN + HjSOi = K,S04 4- 2HCN. Potasslnm cyanide 4- hydrogen sulphate = po- tassium sulphate + hydrocyanic acid. An Excees of Acid. If we take an ounce by weight of the potassium cyanide, we find that Prof. Henry T. Feniald. three-quarters of a fluid ounce of sul- phuric acid is sufficient to give hydro- gen enough to combine with all the cyanogen there is in the potassium cy- anide. On the other hand, a little of the hydrocyanic acid may dissolve in the water present instead of passing off into the air as a gas, and would thus be lost, so far as use goes. The addition of another quarter of an ounce of acid will heat the water more, and tend to drive the gas out, so that for this reason it seems to pay to use a little excess of acid over what is needed for the chemical process, to get more of the gas. Too much excess of acid, however, produces trouble in a different way. The formula given shows that potas- sium sulphate is formed in addition to the hydrocyanic acid gas. Now, potas- sium sulphate, though a solid, dissolves in the water present, but if there is much spare sulphuric acid also present, less of the potassium sulphate dis- solves, and instead it tends to form a crust covering the pieces of potassium cyanide not already acted upon, so that the sulphuric acid cannot reach these pieces to combine with them and produce more gas. For this reason, then, too much acid is as undesirable as too little, and if after a fumigation has been completed there is a solid or a slushy substance left in the dish, this indicates that either too little water or too much acid was used. The Action of the Water. At present, then, the proper amounts to use seem to be: One part by weight of cyanide, and one part by measure of acid. Water is not absolutely essential to the production of hydrocyanic acid gaa by the action of sulphuric acid on po- tassium cyanide, as the acid could be poured directly upon the cyanide, and some gas be given off. The process would quickly come to an end, how- ever, in this case, as the potassium sul- phate formed would so coat over the cyanide that the acid would either fail to reach it or would do its work too slowly. Water is useful in dissolving both the cyanide and the potassium sulphate produced, and in hastening the chemical reaction, which is of im- portance, as the maximum amount of gas is needed as quickly as possible for effective results. If too little water ia present the potassium sulphate tending to coat the cyanide is not dissolved, and this delays the process if it does not in part prevent it. Then the heat produced by mixing the acid and the water is a great advantage, as it has- tens the chemical reaction. It is evident that too little water will prevent the production of the maximum amount of gas. Experiment shows that too much water acts in the same way, more of the gas entering the water and thu^ reducing the amount in the air. A series of tests using varying amounts of water has shown that for the best results there should be three times as much water as acid, and the best proportions of all three materials to use, therefore, be- come: Cyanide, one part by weleht. Acid, one part by measure. Water, three parts by measure. The Bight Order in Mixing. It is desirable to utilize the heat pro- duced by the addition of the sulphuric 20 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Ac- cordingly, the water should be placed in the jar first, and as the heat pro- duced by adding the sulphuric acid is considerable, graniteware dishes are preferable to earthenware ones, as the latter frequently crack from the heat. The sulphuric acid should be added to the water, and while it is hot the cyan- ide should be dropped into the rest. To destroy any particular kind of in- sect, at least a certain strength or density of the gas is necessary. This is also true for plants. Fortunately, the insects in most cases are killed more easily, i. e., with a Smaller amount of the gas, than are the plants. At the present time the main gap in our knowledge is: A lack of knowledge as to how strong the gas must be, in order to kill all the individuals of each kind of insect concerned. A strength suffi- cient to destroy all the plant lice in a house would probably fail to kill the thripsj thus we must learn how strong the gas should be to accomplish the re- sult desired, for each different kind of insect. Avoiding the Various Dangers. Then, having settled the strength necessary to kill the different insects, we must also know the limit of strength of gas each different kind of plant can stand. If we can destroy all the thrips in a house by the gas pro- duced by a gram of potassium cyanide for each cubic foot, this knowledge avails little until we find out whether the plants present are injured by this strength, for if they are killed or seri- ously injured by the treatment, the rem- edy is liable to be worse than the disease. Finally, we must know whether light, temperature and humidity have any influence, and whether it is safer to fumigate for a longer time with a weak dose, or for a shorter time with a stronger dose. It seems strange that years of fumi- gation have failed to provide us with the knowledge needed' on these points, but this is the case with only a few exceptions. Fumigation, perhaps for this reason, is generally applied with caution and with correspondingly poor results. At the present time these problems are beginning to receive more atten- tion, and some of the conclusions reached will be presented in the next paper. DENVER. The Market. The daily sales and the general con- dition of the market seem to be entirely satisfactory. Carnation plants are be- ing thrown out, and there are just about enough flowers now to meet the de- mand. Red is scarce and cannot always be obtained. The price still hovers around the 2-cent mark. Long Beauties are going to the dump, as everybody is in crop at this time and there is no special call. A sudden fancy has been taken to Spanish iris and this is rather a surprise, as it could hardly be given away last year. All kinds of sweet peas except white are plentiful, but are cleaned out every day. Easter and calla lilies are at a standstill. There is extremely little smilax, plumosus or Sprengeri. The season is about a month late, and consequently is cold and disagreeable. Landscape gardeners have not been able to make any favorable comparisons with the same period last year. There is plenty of work to be done, but it is held back by the damp, cold weather. Many of the lawns made last year have been winter-killed. There is not a climb- ing rose that is alive above ground, unless it was taken down and covered last fall. Various Notes. The wind which struck Denver and vicinity April 13 did considerable dam- age, blowing out some glass in nearly every establishment. The smokestack at L. A. Kintzele's place was blown down, striking the end of one of his houses and causing about $300 damage. The Park Floral Co. is preparing to move its offices to the place at Colfax avenue and Josephine street, and the rooms above the Colfax store are being made ready. J. A. Valentine will retain his office at the Broadway store, but will spend most of his time at the greenhouses. Mr. Valentine motored to Pueblo last Tuesday and returned on Thursday with Mrs. Valentine, who had been there for two weeks. The Park Floral Co. believes in rewarding deserv- ing employees, and has recently made E. P. Neiman a member of the firm. Mr. Neiman has been connected with the business for several years and has had charge of the Colfax store. Here- after he will do all the buying, and will be found at the Broadway store. In my last report it was stated that F. X. Goeschl had gone to Loma, Cal., which was a mistake. It should have been Loma, Colo. "Word is now received that shortly after reaching that place he was taken ill with pneumonia, and died within a week. He leaves a wife and several small children. Albert E. Mauff, of the Mauff Floral Co., is an exceedingly busy man these days, his work as secretary of horti- culture and as election commissioner taking the greater part of his time. C. Zbendin, a former Denver florist, who recently had charge of Charles Gar- wood's store, at Rock Springs, Wyo., has just left the hospital, where he was compelled to have his leg amputated at the knee, after a slight injury to his foot, which caused blood poisoning. He has taken the store at Rock Springs and will open it at once. The Barteldes Seed Co. has a number of extra salesmen in the store, who are kept busy every minute. To a casual observer, the rush is such as to remind him of a retail flower store the day be- fore Christmas. Some fine sweet peas of the Spencer varieties are being brought in by Fred Hall. Mrs. B. C. Robinson, of La Junta, who spent about two weeks in Denver attending to business affairs, returned home last Saturday. She said that the water question there is quite a serious matter, and that it will be impossible to run a greenhouse satisfactorily until something is done to get rid of the alkali in the water. Deep wells have been dug, but iron is then present in such quantity as to be almost as bad as the alkali. Water is shipped in in large milk cans, and is sold at flfteen cents a can. Every drop of rain water is zeal- ously caught in tubs and barrels. In the winter, snow is melted and used. When plants need watering they are put in a tub, and the water that runs from the pots is used again, not a drop being wasted. An article in one of our daily papers, April 18, which stated that Mothers' day would be "next Sunday," caused a great deal of confusion both here and in adjoining towns. Some were in favor of two Mothers' days if the people wanted them, but it did not seem fair to take advantage of the mistake and the paper was asked to make a correc- tion. Visitors: Frank F.

General conditions in the wholesale market have been good during the last week. There has been no material change in quotations, but the demand has been more brisk. American Beau- ties of the best quality have not been so plentiful and the top grades of Chatenay, Lady Hillingdon, Mrs. Jar- dine and Bulgarie met with a much better demand. Killarneys are plenti- ful but cleaning up better. Carnations are not so plentiful as they have been and the best grades have touched $4 per hundred. Orchids, still in large supply, are of good quality and there has been a large call for these for funeral work. Lilies are moving well at $2 and $4 per hundred. There is little call for callas. There is the usual supply of daffodils and tulips. Garde- nias are still plentiful, only the best meeting with ready sale. Good smilax and asparagus are scarce. Sweet peas of best quality are meeting with ready sale, but many shipments of these are of poor quality. Violets are about over for the season and those that are com- ing in have to be disposed of to the street men. Various Notes. \oung & Nugent had the family order for the funeral of General Grant and some of the designs were the best ever turned out in this city. The principal flowers used in all of the work were cattleyas and lilies. The Titanic disaster has upset the plans of many of those who intended to visit the international show in London this month, and several of the promi- nent members of the party are now expressing some doubts about making the trip. Many of the seed houses, especially those doing the big over-the-counter trade, are much disappointed in the late season, as it is not bringing their sales up to last year, but a few hot days will change these conditions and bring the rush to the counters. The auction houses are reporting a good demand and good prices. In fact, they are now short of stock, having sold out nearly everything that has been consigned to them. C. H. Totty is sending Henshaw & Fenrich consignments of Wodenethe carnation and Sunburst rose. They are finding quick sale among the high class retailers of the city. W. E. Maynard, the new sales man- ager for P. H. Goodsell, reports ex- cellent sales in his downtown nursery. This enterprise is really an innova- Max 2, 1912.

Twenty-eighth street learns of an- other florist who has come to Madison. He is William E. Tricker III, who ar- rived April 19. Both mother and son are doing well. C H Totty has not been seen in the wholesale district yet in his new high- power car, but this is probably due to the poor roads at this time of the year. With spring advanced and better roads our chairman of the National Flower Show committee will undoubtedly be found many times just within the speed limits, as his duties call for many visits to the city. M. C. Ebel, treasurer of the Aphine Mfg. Co., is counted as among the vis- itors when he comes to New York city these days. He is not as frequently seen as in the past and accounts for this by reporting this season's busi- ness far in excess of last season. Harry Bunyard reports that a meet- ing of the executive committee of the National Sweet Pea Society of Amer- ica will be held in Boston early in May and that there will be a number of new prizes added to the final schedule for the sweet pea show to be held in Bos- ton in July. Before an official audience a royal English oak tree was planted in Cen- tral park a few days ago to take the place of the one planted fifty-two years ago by the then Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. The tree that died had been a memorial, which will be celebrated in December, 1914, as the one hundredth anniversary of the peace treaty, which has never been broken between the United States and Eng- land.

Only yesterday he was in our midst, going quietly about his work with that pleasant smile and kindly greeting that gradually won their way into all our hearts. He had not been well — we all knew that — but the indisposition, though painful, was believed to be curable. He slipped off to the hospital quietly April 19. Mrs. Ehret was with him, of course. April 22 an operation took place that revealed conditions far more serious than had been anticipated. Mr. Ehret died in the German hospital, Philadelphia, April 25. The funeral, held at his home, 1509 Fairmount avenue, on the after- noon of April 29, was largely attended by his friends. The gifts of flowers that were sent were beautiful and so many that the parlor where Mr. Ehret lay was completely filled by them and its customary appearance changed to a living flower picture. Fred Ehret was born in Germany forty-eight years ago. He came to this country when a lad of 18 and worked hard at several places, and in several branches of our business. He first came into prominence in the latter 80s as a curbstone dealer in plants in front of the drug store at the northwest corner .■•■■■,■. * ' ■■ ^■y.-- ..■ ; -c * ■ ■ ■-■■,, • •., • ; ■ ■ ■;•; -• •■ , "', ^K 1 :: 1^ 1 VH ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Kii^^^^l |P| Fred Ehret. of Broad street and Fairmount avenue, Philadelphia. He had excellent judg- ment and confidence with which to back it, buying plants in larger quan- tities than usual at that time and sell- ing them successfully. After two or three seasons as a dealer in plants Mr. Ehret opened a store at 1407 Fairmount avenue for the wholesaling of cut flow- ers, his aim being to supply the uptown section of the city with what they needed in cut flowers and greens. He began modestly with a basket on his arm and later bought a horse and wagon for delivery. He was shrewd, hard-working and thoroughly trust- worthy in all that the term implies. An excellent business was soon built up that prospered for fifteen years. Gradually a retail business in cut flow- ers, plants and designs was developed, and in 1905 Mr. Ehret decided to aban- don the wholesale for the retail. So successful was he that three years later the Floral Arcadia was opened on Broad street and connected with his other store at 1407 Fairmount avenue by a conservatory in the rear. Both stores have been run since. Mr. Ehret is sur- vived by a widow, his partner both at home and in business, and one little daughter. Phil. F. X. Goeschl. A report has just been received of the death of F. X. Goeschl at Loma, Colo. Until recently he had been in business in Denver, Colo. A few weeks ago, however, he and his family removed to Loma. Shortly after reaching that place, it is said, he was taken ill with pneumonia and died within a week. He is survived by his wife and several small children. George W. Parker. George W. Parker, well known flo- rist, at Norwalk, O., died at the family home Monday morning, April 29, from a general breakdown in health. Mr. Parker had been in failing health for about one year, but had been con- fined to the house only about four weeks. The deceased was 77 years old and was a native of Bronson township, Ohio, and spent the greater part of his allotted life in Huron county, Ohio. He had lived in his East Main street home for thirty-five years. Mr. Parker was married in July, 1863, and is survived by his wife and three children. Miss Achsa Parker and Wil- lard Parker, of Norwalk, and Miss Phoebe Parker, of Valley City, N. D. The son states that the business prob- ably will be sold. Clinton H. Wilbur. Clinton H. Wilbur died April 24 at his home at Binghamton, N. Y., follow- ing an illness of one week. Mr. Wil- bur was well known as a man of ster- ling qualities and his death is a shock to his many friends. He is survived by his wife, two children and three sisters. Harry J. Hunter. Harry J. Hunter, a practical nursery- man, who for thirteen years was city forester at Detroit, Mich., and who established the model nursery main- tained by Detroit at Palmer park, died of pneumonia April 17, at his home, 364 McGraw avenue, Detroit, after an illness of ten days. He was 64 years of age and had lived in Detroit more than fifteen years. It was mainly through his efforts that Detroit achieved its high rank as a city beautiful. He was born in Eochester, N. Y., and for many years was connected with one of the largest nurseries in the country, re- moving to Detroit later to enter the employ of D. M. Ferry & Co. Mrs. Hunter and a grown daughter and son survive. 24 The Weekly Florists' Review. Mat 2, 1012. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW 6. L. OBANT. Editor and Manaokb.

There are four double-page spreads in this issue — count 'em — four! Is it because the prepared magnolia leaves have come into such general use that galax is selling so poorly this sea- son? The retail florists who do garden work say business is almost too good — the outdoor department is so crowded that it detracts from the attention given the cut flower end. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Eeview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. With so many growers cutting down on Bichmond for next season, those who retain it may be able to get the extra prices that apparently are needed to make it pay as well as Killarney and White Killarney. H. F. Winter, of the Charleston Cut Flower & Plant Co., calls attention that the governor of West Virginia not only has issued a Mothers' day proclamation but calls upon everyone to attend church that day wearing a white flower. This is the season of quick clearances. The Eeview urges every advertiser to act promptly in the matter of cutting oub items that are sold out. Don 't let dead oflPers stand even one week. To do so only makes extra work in sending money back. Publications that are full of business puflfs and personal flattery of advertis- ers sometimes do nicely for a while, but have you noticed how in the end most of them resort to giving some article free to subscribers, or to some other scheme to attract people who will no longer buy the publication for itself? Several of the large growers in the midsection from which come the Memorial day peony blooms send word that the plants are not throwing the usual number of growths, though the strength seems to be improved thereby. But it is a fairly safe guess that there will be a good supply of flowers when the demand comes, for the acreage in peonies has expanded wonderfully in the last ten years. If there is anything the matter with a florist's business, nine times out of ten it is neglect. Most of us are overdue at the dentist 's, even when we all know the consequences, and in the same way the needs of a business are neglected : "We'll do it tomorrow." Frequently, however, the neglect is of another char- acter: Money comes easily, so what the need to conserve it? In a dry time a good many people neglect to keep one eye on the umbrella, thinking it never is going to rain again— but it usually does. Bostons, that are difficult to sell when cold weather arrives in autumn always come into request about the time the spring days arrive. If you mail plants you should attach an inspection certificate or the postmas- ter is likely to refuse them admission to the mails. See the Nursery Department of this week's issue. Goldfish and perfumery are fine side lines for flower stores, but those who want them should get them from adver- tisers in The Eeview, instead of ordering from the traveler for an unknown house who says "Sign here, please," without stopping to take breath or to give the florist a chance to read the contract, much less discover its meaning. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING. The classified advertising in The Eeview is bringing even better returns this season than in previous years— perhaps that's why last week's issue carried thirteen solid pages of classi- fied plant offers, the greatest quantity ever printed in any one edition. This is the way it works: Shall have to tell you to stop my geranium ad; sold out; could sell two or three times as muoli; have shipped to Pittsfield, Mass., and Tucsou, Ariz., as well as points between. — S. M. Harbison, Danville, Ky., April 22, 1912. Please discontinue the vinca nd; sold out, thanks; only wish I had more. — Simon Dumser, Elgin, lU., April 29, 1912. CHICAGO. The Great Centoal Market. The market opened somewhat weaker Monday, April 29, than it did the pre- ceding week. While the retrogression was not great, it was the result of the weather conditions. The rain, which cut off the retail outlet Sunday, and the cloudy weather which followed on Monday, served to check demand more than it did production and caused some- thing of a drop in prices, the same be- ing necessary in order to move stock from the counters. Nevertheless the drop was not an exceptional one and, with a bright day Tuesday, the market gave signs of resuming normal conditions. Only one or two items were to be found that were in really strong de- mand last week. Valley and sweet peas were popular with the buyers through- out the week, while the supply was hardly equal to the call and hence the wholesalers were able to obtain fair prices. Sweet peas were off crop at the start of this week, on account of the dark weather, while the retail de- mand was as strong as usual. The retailers had been pushing them during the days when the supply was plentiful and consequently the demand continueil when the supply was light. The But- terfly is more popular than the winter peas, which are fast disappearing. The Butterfly varieties have dropped their buds badly during the several recent dark days. Eoses in general have cleared without any great trouble, although American Beauties have become more plentiful and require pushing. Killarney and White Killarney are in full supply, the medium and long getting fair returns, but there has appeared to be an over- supply of the shorter grade and a drop it^pnee w^s noted at the end o¥ last week. They found little favor and the buyer could almost name his own price with the opening of the market May 2, 1912.

Kichmonds and My Maryland enjoyed a fair market and did not suffer much from over- supply. Carnations, which were a little short of the demand at the start of the previ- ous week, came in more freely as the week progressed and by Saturday, April 27, there were plenty to be had at a slight reduction. The demand on Sat- urday was brisk, but the rain of Sunday shut off all demand except that for funeral work and there were more than were required on Monday, when the call was light and included only the best grade. Orchids were to be had at fair prices, but no unusually large quanti- ties were received. Calla lilies were plentiful, but they seemed to lack a market. Easter lilies appeared to move a little better, although there was no special reason for it. Spanish iris was abundant throughout the week and, though it did not bring any fancy prices, it was moved along with the other stock at fair rates. There were numerous shipments of lilacs from southern shippers, but in most cases, like the week before, it was poor stock and commanded little attention from the buyers, who took only the better stock. Some fine mignonette was to be had and considerable of it was called for during the week. Indoor bulbous stock is about at an end and the south- ern bulbous stock did not come in such large quantities as before. Still there was no great demand for what little there was and prices were about the same. There's Jk Money for You in Goldfish $5.00 per 100 and up Send for Oatalorae and '' 66 E.

Kyle & Foerster say that one of their southern peony growers reports a good crop prospect, but that others say half to two-thirds last year's cut. Fred Greader, 6952 Cottage Grove avenue, has taken out a building permit for a greenhouse at that address, to cost $1,500. The Chicago Carnation Co. has re- ceived word from Jack Byers that he reached Hot Springs safely, though greatly fatigued by the journey. Mrs. E. E.

We continue to get quite cool weather and, as sunshine has not been overabundant, the supply of flowers has not as yet been much in excess of the demand. Roses sold well last week, especially American Beauties, Killarneys, Tafts and Hillingdons. '^ome nice Carnots are now arriving iiud sell quickly. Carnations are not in heavy supply, and prices are well main- tained. Violets are over, except for a tew doubles, and these are now quite small. Some of the bulb specialists have finished cutting their indoor crops Had few of these flowers are now to be seen. Quite a few. outside narcissi =ire, however, now obtainable. Sweet peas have been among the l^est selling flowers of late, prices vary- ing from 35 cents to $1.50 per hundred. A number of growers are now sending in fine Spencers, which always com- mand the highest prices. Lily of the valley has been in better demand. Lilium longiflorum and callas have each been a drug and sell at low prices. Snapdragon, while of fine quality, is now in oversupply and prices are down. Marguerites are abundant and the qual- ity leaves nothing to be desired. The call is best for yellow. English prim- roses and bachelor's buttons sell better now, when violets are practically gone. Spanish iris is fine and in demand. Gladioli are as yet limited to Peach Blossom and Blushing Bride, Gar- denias are lower in price. Good flow- ers are in demand, but many are poor in quality. Cattleya Mossiffi is now ob- tainable and sells better than Schroe- derae, which buyers fight shy of. Both asparagus and adiantum are rather soft, and smilax scarce. There is now a good call for baskets of pansies, daisies and myosotis, and bedding geraniums have appeared on a number of stands in the markets. Hydrangeas are also in demand. Various Notes. M. A. Patten and J. K. M. L. Far quhar sailed on the S. S. Laconia for Liverpool April 30. They will visit the European continent before the open- ing of the big London international show. Frank J. Dolansky is cutting a fine crop of Cattleya Mossise at present and has already flowered several white ones. McAlpine Bros., of the New England Rose Conservatories, Exeter, N. H., are busy erecting a new Lord & Burnham house 60 X 400. Their roses are of splen- did quality and always clean out quick- ly. Richmond, Killarney, White Kil- larney and Ward are their specialties. I noted in Julius H. Zinn's window last week pans of the beautiful pink verbena, Miss Wilmott, which should become as popular here as it has in '' Great Britain. John T. Gale, of Tewksbury, is cut- ting some grand sweet peas. His spe- cialty is Pink Beauty, of his own rais-, ing, which is fine. Mr. Gale will finish picking double violets this week. They have done remarkably well this season. M. F. Gray, of Mattapan, is having a good call for his pans of geraniums at the Boston Cooperative Market. They are stocky and well bloomed plants. W. S. Phelps, of Marlboro, is cutting a fine crop of the hardy delphiniums in various shades of blue, for which J. M. Cohen finds an excellent demand. William T.

PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. The long continued, cool, rainy weather has shortened the supply of flowers to a degree that makes the cut flower market better than usual at this season of the year. The quality of much of the stock is excellent. The de- mand is fair; most of the business is done at moderate prices. There ar& no especial features worthy of record- ing beyond the continued activity in Beauties, an activity that aflfects only a little corner of the market; the fine quality of many of the carnations, and the close of the indoor lilac season with one of the two growers who supply this market. There are increased supplies of southern lilac and a diminution of the southern daffs. Easter lilies are still struggling under the burden of left- overs from Easter, while greens are not in as active demand as they have been for many weeks. There are still some outdoor bulbous flowers and a few from indoors, but these do not figure much in the returns. Sweet peas have had a particularly hard time during the rainy weather, a condition only relieved by the new crops now coming in that stand unfavorable conditions so much better than the wornout old chappies. The Hydrangea and the Ivy. There is a strong tendency today toward moving the home from the crowded city to the suburbs, the coun- try, or by the sea. This tendency is of great benefit to the florists, because flowers are indispensable to the sub- urban, country or seashore home. For a long time the geranium, the coleus and the trailing vine formed the prin- cipal soft-wooded stock for this pur- pose. The flowering shrub, the climbing vine and the running rose formed the mainstays of the hardier ornamental section. Cultivation in taste and knowl- edge of the requirements have led to a broader field. Perhaps no two plants are more justly prized for this pur- pose than the hydrangea and the hardy English ivy. A visit was paid one afternoon this Iveek to the greenhouses owned and AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MAY The cut flower market is well supplied with an excellent assortment of fine stock.

Mention Tbe Review when Toa wnw operated by J. William Colflesh's Sons at Fifty-third and Woodland avenue, West Philadelphia. The interest in this visit centered in the two varieties of plants named; both are being special- ized by the Messrs. Colflesh. The hy- drangea is being grown in successive crops, timed to bring them in bloom from now until late in the season. The last plants of the first or Easter crop are in full flower, their large heads of soft pink and pale blue testifying to cultural skill. The next crop is just coming in, the heads just showing color. Then follow successions of plants, from those with the flower buds well formed to the tiny floral pinhead and the shoot which experts knowingly discuss wheth- er or not it will bear. The demand for these later plants is largely for the sea- shore, the places near the cities taking the earlier crop. The possibilities of the hardy English ivy have been seen and improved by the Messrs. Colflesh. In one of their green- houses are some twenty-five hanging baskets made up of Dracaena indivisa surrounded by hardy ivy, nasturtiums used as a temporary division completing the basket. These baskets are ordered for the roof garden of a prominent city hotel. The ivy will endure wind, sun and heat as nothing else. It is pinned here and there to the moss at the bottom of the basket, just to prevent its going wild, and is bound to make a telling effect throughout the season if given half a chance. Various Notes.

Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. said, April 26, that pending the report of the sub- committee of operators and miners scheduled for May 2 it is difficult to form any opinion as to what will occur in anthracite coals. The bituminous sections everywhere are now at work, having made agreements with the mine workers for the next two years, but at an advance in wages, which increases the cost of mining bituminous coal from 5 cents to 10 cents a ton, and this means a consequent increase in the price of bituminous coal to the consumer. Shipments can now be made from prac- tically all bituminous coal fields. Car supply and movement are good. The Whilldin Pottery Co. reports an active spring business that is in ad- vance of last season. Phil. WASHINGTON. The Market. Business last week was exceptionally good, all things considered. Although the market is practically flooded with flowers, a larger amount of first-class stock, including roses and carnations, has never before been seen in the na- tional capital. Carnations that should readily bring at least $4 per hundred have sold as low as $15 per thousand, and American Beauties with 5-foot stems brought a top price of 25 cents each; the bottom price was 5 cents. Sweet peas have been a little more plentiful and the supply slightly ex- ceeded the demand. The prevailing prices ranged from $4 to $15 per thou- sand. Snapdragon, mignonette, pansies, forget-me-nots, marguerites and other indoor flowers are coming into the mar- ket in great profusion, but their sale has been much hampered, as have other products of the houses, by the influx of lilacs, dogwood and other wild flow- ers from the woods, where they are being gathered in large quantities. Huge bunches of these are being of- fered on the streets for 5 cents a bunch. It seems strange that this should be the case, as it was thought that the exceptionj^lly cold weather last winter had killed all such outdoor stock, but the lilac that is now coming into the market can hardly be beaten, although it would be a whole lot better for the florists if it never materialized. Orchids are selling much better than they have been and there has been a decided improvement in both quantity and quality. The supply about equals the demand and the prices are $6 to $9 per dozen. Violets are about over for this year, in both the single and double varieties; the only ones to be seen now are outdoor ones. Gardenias are still rather plentiful and prices do not seem to be improving, ranging as they do from 60 cents to $2 per dozen, with more offered near the former price than the latter. Outdoor lily of the valley made its appearance about the middle of last week and has been selling for about $1.50 per hundred for the best. While this valley is not so pure a white as that from the greenhouses, in fra- grance it excels by many points. Steph- anotis is also to be seen in quantities and is a welcome addition for the com- mencement and bride bouquets, to say nothing of funeral work. The pre- vailing price is about $5 per hundred clusters. From the Spanish iris just coming in, it would appear as though this will be exceptionally fine this year. Various Notes. J. Keur, representing C. Keur & Sons, of New York city and Hillegom, Holland, is in town showing the new, unnamed pink gladiolus for which his firm paid $4,000 and which took first prize at the Haarlem show in 1911.

Washington florists made possible many benefits for the children of the southwestern section of this city by their donations last week of carnations, which were sold by the teachers of the Smallwood public school. The flowers were placed on sale in a number of de- partment stores where space was given the teachers, and the entire proceeds will be used in connection with the children's playgrounds. The various associations of the city have agreed to observe Sunday, May 12, as Mothers' day. Appropriate ser- mons will be delivered in all the churches of the city and other features will mark the observance of the day. One of the customs attending this day is the wearing by every Washingto- nian of a white carnation, the chosen emblem, and present indications point to increased sales of carnations over last year.

These men were slated to dispose of 10,000 grape vines at 5 cents each, the pro- ceeds to go to them, but it can readily be seen how other goods would also be disposed of to the crowd that flocked to a store where there was an opportunity to come in contact with these much talked of men.

There are more Killarneys in the market than any other rose at present. First-class long Beau- ties are none too numerous, but there seem to be a great many short ones. Carnations in all the leading varieties are fine and there are a few more of them than the demand calls for. A fine lot of single and double lilac sold well.

The greenhouse men are having a hard time; there is plenty of planting to do, but the ground is too wet for such work. Various Notes. Samuel Seligman, better known as Sprinkleproof Sam, got a wet reception during his stay in this city, as it rained almost continuously. It is useless to mention whom he represents, as every- body knows Sam. A. Miller, of A. Henderson & Co., Chi- cago, spent Friday of last week here on his way home from his Texas trip. Albert Hirlemann, who recently leased the greenhouse plant of the Brix Floral Co., on Mead avenue, skipped town, and, according to Mr. Brix, had sold almost everything on the place, on which he held a mortgage. A war- rant has been sworn out for his arrest. Mrs. Hirlemann, who was implicated in the transaction, has been arrested and will be held until her husband is found. The Paris Floral Co. is doing a nice business at the new location, on SixtK street. Fred Foster, the head of the company, says they had the decorations for the Vandevorts' sixtieth anniver- sary, which amounted to nearly $1,000. During the big rain and wind storm of Friday, April 26, considerable hail fell all over the city and county, but was not large enough to do any damage to glass. The high wind, however, dam- aged some of the fine trees in Forest and Tower Grove parks. Joe Hauser, of Webster Groves, is cutting a fine lot of white and purple lilac, which has a good run in the local trade at the wholesale market. Mr. Hauser holds out good prospects for Jennemann's new violets, which he is growing. The Engelmann Botanical Club will hold its regular meeting on Monday, May 13, at eight o'clock. George Pring, the secretary, says that a paper will be read which will be of great interest to all our members. Mr. Pring has charge of the big orchid houses at the Mis- souri Botanical Garden. He will again be the head bowler for the English cricket team this summer. Do not forget the florists' dance on Wednesday night. May 8, at West- minster hall. The boys are working hard for its success, and, from the way the tickets are going, a good time is in store for all who attend.

Cincinnati, Ohio not every man who wears a checkered suit can cash the checks. The first news of the death of Moses Kice to reach the local trade came with The Eeview Friday, and it was a great shock to his many friends in the trade here, who knew Mr. Bice well when, only a few years back, he made regular trips to this city. They are all with me in expressing sympathy for the widow and his business associates. A, G. Greiner, the noted cactus grower at 4419 Natural Bridge road, has had a splendid season so far in the shipping of cactus plants. He is making prepara- tions for his usual grand outdoor display of cacti. The meeting of the Florists' Club will take place on Thursday afternoon, May 9, at 2 o'clock, in Odd Fellows' hall. J. F. Ammann will lead a dis- cussion on "Relations of the Whole- saler, Grower and Retailer." Special notices will be sent out by the secretary, which will insure a large attendance of the three branches of the business. Ray Young, son of Harry Young, of the firm of H. Young & Son, was in an automobile smash-up on Friday night, April 26. The machine he was driving belonged to his father and contained a load of young folks coming from an entertainment. No one was hurt, but the machine was damaged to the extent of $300. A meeting of the executive board of the St. Louis Horticultural Society was held last week at the oflBce of President Mallinckrodt, with all the officers and members of the board present. The meeting was called to discuss the ques- tion as to whether to continue or dis- band the society. On taking a vote, it was decided to disband and to pay back all dues for 1912 to any who had al- ready paid them. All outstanding bills have been paid and the St. Louis Horti- cultural Society passes into history. Hence it goes without saying that no fall flower show will be given this year. Perhaps, after a few years' lay-oflf, the St. Louis Florists' Club may again take up the matter of holding a flower show. J. J. B. BETUBBING BAYS AlH) PALMS. I have some standard bay trees tha€ need retubbing. I moved them two years ago into tubs that measure two feet in diameter. Can I comb the soil from them and put them back in the same tubs again without injuring themf I would rather do so than give them larger tubs. I also have some palms that need retubbing. Can I treat them in the same way as I propose treating the bays? J. J. 0. The bay trees can be taken out of their tubs, if so desired, and the balls of earth can be carefully picked over with a sharp-pointed stick, loosening the roots but injuring them as little as possible. The tubs should be well cleaned out and dry when the plants are put back in them. Also see that the drainage is perfect. Plants re- tubbed as recently as two years ago should not be in urgent need of a shift. Probably if you loosened some of the surface soil, removed it and replaced with a rich top-dressing, it would an- swer equally well. The palms in tubs which are in need of a shift should get it at once. Treat them similarly to the bays, using ex- treme care not to damage the roots. In repotting or retubbing palms, see that the soil is well packed around the sides. This cannot be accomplished by the hands alone. A potting stick or rammer must be used. C. W.

Anderson, Short Hills, N, J., of- fers for registration the following fern. Any person objecting to the registra- tion, or to the use of the proposed name, is requested to communicate with the secretary at once. Failing to re- ceive objection to the registration, the same will be made three weeks from this date. RaJser's description — The fern named below baa the variegated character observed in I'terls Cretica albo-llneata, but of more distinct variega- tion; the broad belt of white down the center of each leaflet occupies one-half of the breadth. The plant, however, is of taller, more compact habit and larger dimensions, the fertile fronds often reaching the height of two feet. All the leaflets, either barren or fertile, are undulated, terminating in crests of large dimensions, the crests heavier and larger, but most resembling the crlstata form of PterU Cretica Wllsonli. The name which I wish to give to the above described ia Pterls Cretica Andersonil. John Young, See'y. 27, 1912. April PHOENIX, ARIZ. Charles Burroughs, the East Adams street florist, is the proud possessor of a magnificent specimen of the old- fashioned peony, so familiar to the easterner. The plant is eighteen inches high and two feet in diameter. The plant now contains four immense blos- soms. The flowers are perfect speci- mens and have attracted a great deal of attention in view of the fact that the flower is rare in this valley. The plant is 5 years old and this is the first year that Mr. Burroughs has been able to get a blossom. It is the only plant that grew out of twelve that Mr. Bur- roughs planted five years ago. This particular plant was the neglected one of the twelve and was practically aban- doned a few years ago in a Bermuda patch. The other eleven, which were given careful cultivation, did not sur- vive. Spartanburg, S. C. — C. A.

Carnations and roses are in heavy sup- ply and it takes some hustling on the part of the wholesalers to move them out. Last week was good all around and the retailers were kept busy, and those that had business could get a fine grade of stock at low prices. The week ended with the carnations all cleaned up and the roses down to a point where there was no cause for worry about their cleaning up Sun- day morning. This market seems to have more short roses than any other grade, and it is surprising, considering the amount of stock grown and the trade calling for better grades right along, that some of the rose growers do not produce some longer stock. Sweet peas are arriving in grand shape and are popular. There is a steady call for these and Friday, Saturday and Sun- day it seemed that every lady in the city wore a corsage, either of roses, peas or short Beauties. This is cer- tainly pleasing to the florists here, as they have worked hard to get the peo- ple into this habit and it seems as though they have succeeded. Tulips, daffs and hyacinths are a glut in the market, as are Easter and calla lilies. There is little or no de- mand for these, and we all hope that there will be a change soon. Spanish iris is in heavy supply and not selling any too well. Valley is being cleaned up nicoly and there is just enough to go around. Smilax is in the same con- dition and there is no trouble selling what is coming in. Fancy ferns are in heavy demand and there is some fine stock being shipped out by the large fern dealers.

Herman Klagge is well known to the flower buying public and their success is already assured. The elder Herman Klagge will not give up his position with Breitmeyer until May 15. Harry Backham, who for some time conducted a retail store on Woodward avenue, has given up the business to take charge of the large Haines fruit farm in Greenfield, which was recently purchased by his father, George Back- ham. H. S. BOCHESTEB. The Market. The thermometer has gone up con- siderably within the last two weeks and we are now having spring weather again. In the wholesale market there is an overabundance of all kinds of cut flowers; yet the supply is kept moving and no great glut has been experienced as yet. In the retail stores business is good and the demand for flowers is heavy. Carnations and roses are cheap. The demand for funeral flowers is on the increase rather than diminishing, and is the heaviest it has been in some months. There is a great dearth of flowering plants, which has been felt ever since Easter, and there is no immediate pros- pect of a remedy for it. Hydrangeas, rambler roses and a few late azaleas are the extent of the list to choose from. Beauties are scarce once more and go at fancy prices. Other roses are all good when they come in, but soon show the effects of the warmer weather. Sweet peas are pouring into the mar- ket in great shape.

Members Florists' Telegraph Ass'n mignonette, marguerites and lilacs have come to add variety to the spring flower list. The seed and nursery business is in full swing. The first weeks of spring were too cold to permit much planting; consequently there is a big rush now to get things in. All nurserymen and seedsmen seem to be exceedingly busy filling orders. The landscape men are also hustling, since all outdoor work has been retarded about four weeks. The pure food show has come to a close and some of the florists will miss the trade it furnished during the last two weeks, though it was not specially heavy. All florists are looking for- ward to Mothers' day, for an increase in trade is expected then. Prepara- tions are also being made for Memorial day. Various Notes. Thomas A. "Whittle has been ap- pointed a park commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Stephen G. HoUister. Mrs. Felix Alberts is expected home sometime next month. Charles Vick has some plans which he expects to make public at the next meeting of the Florists' Association, regarding the flower show. Large crowds have been visiting the Lamberton memorial conservatory every Sunday afternoon since the spring weather has come. J. Berg, of Lion & Co., was in town last week. He announces that the sale on his Americana chiflfon is greater than ever. — r David Scott, of the William Scott Co., Corfu, N.

J., called on the trade last week. J. B. Keller Sons had a most unique window display in memory of the lost Titanic, which drew large crowds. It consisted of the American and British flags, draped side by side, with a huge wreath of magnolia leaves and Easter lilies in one corner of the window, and in the other a large picture of the lost ocean liner. Two large baskets of Eas- ter lilies formed the background for the picture. Many nurseries in this city take ad- vantage of the parcels post to send stock abroad by mail, and the provision that it must first be inspected will cause considerable inconvenience in pre- paring it for shipment. Inspectors from either the national or state agricultural departments must put their seal of ap- proval on the goods before Uncle Sam will take them abroad. Harry P.

Santa Cruz, Cal.— Carl Puirdy, of Uki- ah, Cal., delivered a lecture on the "beau- tification of small cities he re April 20, under the auspices of the lo«cal Chamber of Commerce. For the. sufr^pression of ■weeds on vacant lots he simggested the killing of the weeds by falli cultivation followed by the planting off the strong growing native wild flow-ers, which, if given favorable conditmons, would smother the young weeds. He advised sowing the wild flower seedss broatlcast, rather thinly, and as man_y of those seeds are very small he sugsgested first mixing them with soil to imsure eqiial distribution. As the result of this lee ture arrangements are being mad« for a competition among the residents for prizes for the best kept gar*dens, ere. LOS ANGELES, C^ The Market. Fiesta week and the visit of the Shriners, which begins 3Iay 4, are already causing inquiries fo*" stock and retailers are on the anxious seat. To judge by present appearancass, there is going to be plenty of outdooir stock, but good indoor roses will probatolybe none too plentiful. There are in quiries for Beauties in quantity, also for long- stemmed reds and pinks of aMl varieti^. Retailers who have been lefft on previ- ous occasions are also lookin g ahead to Decoration day, and wholesa—lers report good bookings already. Just now funeral work forrwis the bulk of the trade and flowers of the better grades are not selling any too "well. Outdoor stock, on the othe^T band, is cleaning up well and growers are get- ting good returns. Some orf the best outdoor roses ever seen on tMin naavket are being handled now by -the whole- salers; large, well colored ULrich Brun- ners, fine Maman Cochet aand White Cochet being amoi^ the offerimgs. There is plenty of carnation and tuulb stock, valley and irises, as well as coreopsis, forget-me-nots and the varicwus garden or summer flowers. Gladioli i are not plentiful yet, though there i^ consider- able variety and the flowers CDfiered are good. Orchids are a little m«ore plenti- ful, but not first-rajte in qiiiality. In greens, smilax continues th^ shortest item, but it is more plentiful than it was a few weeks ago. Various Notes. Howard E. Gates, son of MZrs, Corne- lia R. Gates, of the Floral Nursery, Anaheim, was in town last weaek, taking a look around among the grcDwera^and the trade generally. He says that'ousi- ness has picked up well since the rains. Mi^s Kate Sessions, of Ssin Diego, paid a flying visit to the trader recently, taking in the various places at Monte- bello, including Howard & Smith's and Dieterich & Turner's. ,Mi0s Sessions expressed,; ierself as greatly pleased .with the new Ked iSherokee rose at the latterlJlace. * "Everybody's doin' it." Frank Lich- tenberg is the latest to fall for the auto to date and he will find his new machine mighty useful. Business keeps up remarkably well at the store on Fifth street, and when I called some extra fine yellow irises were being taste- fully arranged with their own foliage, in baskets, for an order. S. Murata has heavy bookings for cut flowers for the Shriners' visit. These include practically all lines, but the call has been heaviest on sweet peas, carnations and centaureas. "When it comes to greens, Ta^sano Bros, certainly come near the top. Tony says he will handle an immense amount of smilax, asparagus and other gar- lands for the conclave. They are also heavily stocked on California green moss, a useful article just now, consider- ing the sphagnum scarcity. The H. N. Gage Co. will be well sup- plied with Sprengeri for the coming festivities. The stock is extra long and select, and big cuts arrive daily from the Signal Hill ranch.

It has all th^ latest appliances and improvements, and apparently will do everything but make up funeral designs. Gordon, Qar- liett & Co. still attend to that end of the business and it keeps them lively. Orders for decorated floats for the (larade seem to be fairly well divided lip among the principal retailers. H. Reeve Darling is well pleased with the way business is coming to the Hay- ward Floral Co., on Sixth street, and a good deal of credit is due to him and his clever staff of decorators. Some of the best Ulrich Brunndr roses seen here for a long time have been displayed at this store the last few weeks. Since Mr. Creutz has taken to riding a Thor motorcycle he is a hard man to catch. He says he will be well prepared with all classes of stock for Memorial day. Dieterich & Turner have purchased another sixteen acres of land adjoining their plant at Montebello, and this gives them the entire northwest corner of the Montebello tract, thirty-three acres in all. Choice Cocos plumosa and C. flexuosa, six to eight feet high and showing fine character leaves, are be- ing sold from land that three years ago was a barley field. Always something doing at " Heisse Luf t, ' ' even when business is quiet in cut roses. John Morley, superintendent of the San Diego city parks; C. E. Lilley, Santa Cruz, and E, W. McLellan, of San Francisco, were among the visitors to the city this week. H. R. Richards. TAOOMA, WASH. The Market. Weather conditions in this vicinity have lately been of the best for the growing of all florists' stock, both in the greenhouses and outdoors. Tulips, etc., are in full bloom on the lawns, and many of the earlier varieties of shrubs are beginning to bloom. Carnations are less plentiful again and are holding up to good prices. The glut of a few weeks ago did not last long, as many of the growers dumped their old plants to make room for bedding stock. A number of them, however, put in cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. The vegetable market is now in about the same condition that the carnation market was in two months ago. Violets are about pasf and roses are more plentiful, with the qual- ity much improved. The nursery trade is about over and most of the dealers report a good business along this line. Various Notes. Henry Benthien and George Seaverns made the trip to Bellingham last week, to inspect the bulb farm at the United States experiment station. They report everything in splendid condition. There seems to be a great future for this in- dustry on Puget Sound, as the climate appears to be well adapted to bulb growing. Van Slyke & Seamons are bringing in a fine lot of Spanish iris and gladioli. The Northwestern Floral Co. has an excellent lot of beddftig stock- ready for the spring sales.

The San Joaquin Floral Co., of this city, has opened a new, up-to-date store on Sutter street. This firm also has enlarged its nursery by leasing several adjoining lots. Mr. Star, the manager, has purchased a fine delivery automo- bile and also a car for his private use. The San Francisco Floral Co. has opened a store on East Main street. F. Mindach, heretofore a gardener in one of the city parks, has been ap- pointed head gardener of the park system. S. & D. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business has been fair for the last week. Carnations of -good quality are selling well, as there are none too many of these coming in. Some stock of poor quality, however, is hardly salable. The only harm it does is to militate against the price of good flowers. It is about time for some discrimination to be shown in the prices of carnations charged by the growers. At present the prices run the same for good and poor stock. Of course the grower with good flowers can nearly always sell his, while it is sometimes hard to dispose of poor flowers. Roses are fairly plentiful, some first-class local stock selling well. Vio- lets are almost over for the season and bulb stock is getting scarce. The sale for bedding plants is brisk. Geraniums are not overplentiful this year and good plants are bringing fair prices. Pansies, daisies, myosotis, etc., are selling for less than in former years. T. W. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. We are still having a succession of beautiful April days, with a shower or two thrown in occasionally to give a little variety. Everything is moving nicely, with the exception of business, which is quiet. We expected that there would be quite a stir when Lent was over, but, on the contrary, there is little doing. This is partly to be looked for when there is such a quantity of stock brought into town as we have seen for the last three weeks. Roses and carnations seem to have been hit the hardest by the decline in rates. Of the latter it is quite useless to pretend to give prices. Tulips are holding their own again, as the beds are getting on toward the last picking. Valley and lilies are at a standstill. Violets are about over. Sweet peas are cheaper and better. Some Dutch hyacinths are seen. Spanish irises are cheap and good, but move slowly.

Will you kindly give us your opinion concerning the nursery business of * ' the exposition city"? We are going to have the P. P. I. exposition in San Francisco in 1915, as you know. What variety is the most profitable stock, both outdoors and under glass? Is there any stock that should be started now? The local papers tell us the expo- sition will start February 20 and end December 4. G. N. I take it that G. N. intends to grow stock of some sort for the coming San Francisco exposition, which is yet about three years in the future. As the range of possibilities is almost endless, should he decide to cater to the demand for outside grown ornamentals, it is difficult to know where to begin to advise, unless he would be more definite as to the amount of land he has at his dis- posal and as to what department of horticulture he is most interested in. As he also fails to state whether he is inclined to the growing of eut flowers or of pot plants under glass, it is rather hard to give definite suggestions. From my knowledge of what the local growers are doing in the plant line, it might be well to remark that there will be no excess of well grown ferns, palms, begonias, dracsenas, crotons, ericas, or any showy stove plants. It is the general observation that most of the smaller growers are content to fol- low the old beaten paths and stay with the carnations, roses, valley and lilies, and only a few take the somewhat slower road to fame by producing splen- did house plants, of which up to this time there has never been half the amount required for sale in the market. Those who have broken away from the old standbys have all made con- siderable money, and if G. N. wishes to follow suit and has sufficient experience and can afford to wait a season or two for returns, he can make no mistake in growing the lines of stock suggested. ^ G.

Fire did $10,000 damage, April 25, to the buildingL-occupied by the Iieifer Seed Co., at Little Bock, Ark. J. Fbank Cobby, vine seed grower at Enid, Okla., now does business as the Oklahoma Seed Growers' Co. The government seeds were put up this year at $1.09% per thousand pack- ets, by the Robert Gair Co., Brooklyn. The trouble now is to wait on the cus- tomers that line the counters three deep. The mail orders are pretty well caught up with. The call for gladioli and some other spring bulbs does not appear to come quite up to the sanguine expectations of some of the houses. Inducements are being made to clear. The newer mail order seed houses in the middle west, which get most of their business from west of the Mississippi, have done a remarkable business this sea- son, and it is holding up extremely well. In its new location on the direct thor- oughfare to two great railroad stations the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, has had a tremendous increase in its counter sales. The problem is to handle the trade. The onion sets at Louisville have gone into the ground about as usual. Chilli- cothe is a little behind and at Chicago planting is considerably delayed, with the prospect of some reduction in acreage. The firm of Julius Loewith, 99 Nassau street. New York city, representative of prominent European seed houses, is known, since May 1, as Loewith, Larsen & Co., with new headquarters at 150 Nas- sau street, New York. The United States Department of Agriculture recently has issued a bulle- tin. No. 488, entitled, "Diseases of Cab- bage and Related Crops, and Their Con- trol," by L. L. Harter, which will be of interest to seedsmen. Wholesale seedsmen are having their troubles with reorders. Though there are seeds for sale, so many items were short at the beginning of the season that now it is not only impossible to supply the items most called for but difficult to fur- nish "something just as good." Once more come pessimistic reports from the pea districts: Season late, soil too wet to get on it, planting not possi- ble until after the usual date, midsum- mer heat will catch the vines at the most critical stage. To hear them tell it, one would think the pea is about to drop out of cultivation. TBANSPABENT ENVELOPES.

SEEDS IN THE WEST. The Nebraska Seed Co., Omaha, is this year old enough to vote; it was organized in 1891 by the same men who still are at the helm. The start was with a floor space 44x60, but now a building is occupied with six floors 06x132. It has a capacity of 180 cars storage. The seed cleaning plant has a capacity of 100,000 pounds of rough seed a daj-. The staff consists of forty- one inside men and eight travelers. One of the important departments of the business is the growing of alfalfa for seeds; also the company loaded the thirty-fourth car of timothy to be sent out this season. In Douglas county, Nebraska, the company also grows from 40,000 to 50,000 bushels of onion sets. LOS ANGELES SEED NOTES. The retail seed men are extremely busy, and probably never in the history of the trade has there been a better season. Even during the dry spell early in the year, about a normal business was done, but since the rains the rush has been surprising even to the most optimistic. Climatic conditions have been so favorable the last few weeks that practically all crops will be normal, at least with the important exception of sweet peas, which were not suffi- ciently forward to get the full benefit of the rain and which have also been retarded by cold at night. Blight has already attacked some plantings, and experienced growers, while not taking a (lark view of the case, fear that this will l»e more apparent later in the season. The stands of beet, lettuce, roots gener- ally, and staple vegetable and flower seeds are reported as excellent, and as the ground has plenty of moisture below and a fine tilth on the surface, all hope for the best. The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co. has had a most unpleasant experience with two of its hitherto trusted employees. The firm sent these men out on salary and provided them with conveyances to call on customers for orders. Only a small percentage of the orders taken were turned in to the house; others, and these the more profitable, were diverted to another house on a com- mission basis. The Aggeler & Musser <'o. reports a heavy trade in all lines and says the reports from their growers are quite encouraging. Charles Winsel says his retail busi- ness this season has been much greater than that of any of the ten years he has been on Main street.

SEEDS Stephen Girard, one of the greatest real philanthropists the world has ever known, once said, "If I knew I would die tomor- row I would plant a flower to- day." Girard was a poor one- eyed boy, kicked and cuffed about as cabin boy, sailor, ship owner, etc., known chiefly in Philadelphia, where he first kept a store on Wa- ter Street. Later on in the pro- cess of trading he became very rich. It was Girard who took One Mil- lion Dollars from the Bank of Bar- ing Brothers in London and in- vested it in shares in the United States Bank, during the panic of 1810, saving the day. Later he bought the whole bank and estab- lished the Bank of Stephen Girard. He founded the Girard College in Philadelphia, and endowed it. It is -a school for homeless boys, re- gardless of religion. In fact re- ligion is regarded there as an- tique and obsolete philosophy, and minij*ters and priests are not per- mitted within the gates. The boys are taught to be free thinkers — their religion is that of the heart. But what has all this to do with bulbs? Just this — that all great men are flower-lovers — they are close to nature. In other words they are educated. That's what florists must do — educate the peo- ple— advertise flowers persistently — handle flowers of good quality, that are a credit to the business. For good lilies you must have Horseshoe Brand Bulbs. Best pro- duced in the world. Send for the Book of Bulbology. RALPH N.

Theodore Payne reports a good retail business and says that considerable in- terest is being taken in California wild flower and tree seeds, on which subject he is an expert. The Germain Seed & Plant Co. has had to move a considerable portion of its stock from the nursery at Tenth and Ho^e streets and a successful auction sale was held there April 24. The firm figures on going farther out and is on the lookout for suitable land as near the city as possible. On Sunday, April 21, the staff from the store was taken for a round trip and picnic to Montebello, which was much enjoyed by all. The firm's autos, and other machines hired for the purpose, were used. H. K. E. SWEET CORN FOE SEED. [Continued from the Issue of April 25.] The location and character of soil are of less importance in the production of seed corn from which the best results may be expected than that the fields be so situated as to avoid as far as possi- ble liability to mixture through the pollen. This is a far more common cause of inferior quality than is gener- ally supposed. Seed growers object to growing Black Mexican corn because they say it crosses so freely with other sorts. There is no evidence, however, that this variety crosses more readily than others, but when crosses of Black Mexican and other varieties do occur the effects are more readily seen. In- stances are known where Moore's Con- cord was evidently crossed with Bla*ck Mexican corn growing nearly two miles away; but in another case, where the Black Mexican and the Moore's Con- cord varieties were planted side by side on the same day, there was no indi- cation of mixture beyond the sixth row from the dividing line. Corn pollen in abundance has been obtained from the plumage of a black- bird, which must have flown between four and six miles from the last field of corn visited, and doubtless others of the large flock to which the bird be- longed carried equal quantities of pol- len, more or less of which they must have scattered in the field of seed sweet corn in which they alighted. Difference in season of maturity is not always a protection against cross- ing. The writer knows of a case in which there was clear evidence of mix- ture in both directions between Extra Early Red Cory and Stowell's Ever- green corn growing side by side, al- though the Cory was planted some days before the Evergreen, but in another instance there was no sign of mixture between the Cory and the Black Mex- ican varieties planted side by side on the same day, all of the silk and the tassels of the Cory being ripe and dry before even the earliest tassel ap- peared on the Black Mexican, and in this case there were no late- blooming suckers on the Cory to fur- nish pollen for the earliest Black Mex- ican plants. In another instance, where two sorts of corn were separated by a thick grove of tall trees about four rods wide, there was no sign of mixture, but just l|pyond the grove, where' the Jofs of corn were separated by an equal wrflth of grass land, tiffere was abundant evi- dence of crossing. In another case, where two sorts were GLADIOLI Four Bushels Americ9 Bulblets "i $fUOp per pecKf $3o!bo per bushel '..^ My gladioli^ are exceptionally fine this season and have kept^nrough th.^ winter in good condition.

Smith is preparing to establish a nursery at Citrus Heights, near Sacra- mento, Cal. The landscape departments of the big nurseries are finding fully as many pros- pects as they can develop properly. The city council of Kalispell, Mont., has authorized Alderman H. B. Dick to lease several blocks of ground for the site of the proposed municipal nursery. E. H. Wilson, who has been engaged in the nursery business at Monrovia, Cal., has bought two adjoining tracts at Oceanside, Cal., and will establish a nur- sery there. Some of the fruit tree nurseries are not especially enthusiastic, but the ones that specialize on ornamentals are report- ing a steadily increasing demand, better this season than ever. The incorporation is announced of Engle Bros. Co., San Benito, Tex., with $20,000 capital stock, for "seed tree growing. ' ' The incorporators are Philip Engle, Max Engle and Mrs. Sallie Engle. The nursery season, over a large and important part of the country, is turn- ing out one of the shortest and busiest on record. It emphasizes the importance of proper facilities for winter storage and the advantage gained by pushing the business for autumn. The Northwest Horticulturist, pub- lished at Tacoma, Wash., is authority for the statement that P. A. Dix, presi- dent of the Pacific Coast Nurserymen's Association, expects to have at least one Pullman carload of coast nurserymen for the Boston convention of the A. A. N. June 12 to 14. M. KosTER, of Koster & Sons, Bos- koop, Holland, has just spent several days in Chicago and vicinity. He is a graduate of Oxford, widely traveled and an interesting talker on general as well as trade topics. He says the American market for Holland nursery stock never was so broad as now and that the buy- ers this year are more willing to pay the prices of larger stock and better grades.

American Association of Nurserymen, wrote as follows April 27: ** There is nothing new or definite to report in regard to the matter of fed- eral inspection legislation. Some two months ago our committee and the De- partment of Agriculture came to an agreement on the points of difference, and we supposed that the bill would go through. It has, however, been held up in the House for several reasons, and later bills have been introduced, so that today we hardly know what the situa- tion is. It begins to look, however, as though it would be difficult to get through any legislation this session on account of the short time remaining." PLANTS IN THE MAILS. Those who do a mailing business in plants of any character will do well to see that every package, no matter what its size or contents, carries the state inspection certificate. Otherwise, where the postmaster observes the regu- lations, the package is likely to be re- fused transportation in the mails. As a matter of fact, the regulation recent- ly promulgated by the Postmaster Gen- eral applies only to plants "which may carry injurious insects," but how is the postmaster to know? To be on the safe side, the inspection certificate should be attached. The new ruling, which already has caused some confusion, is in order No. 6158, recently promulgated by the Post- master General, amending the Postal Laws and Regulations with regard to articles of the fourth class not abso- lutely excluded from the mails. Para- graph 8 of the order is as follows: * * Nursery stock, including field-grown florists' stock, treeg, shrubs, plants, vines, cuttings, grafts, scions and buds (which may carry injurious insects), may be admitted to the mails only when accompanied by a certificate from a state or government inspector to the effect that said nursery stock has been inspected and found free from injurious insects." WITH ILLINOIS NURSERIES. The spring packing season of the nurseries at Bloomington, 111., is rap- idly drawing to a close and growers of nursery stock are now devoting their time and attention to planting new stock. The pack this season has been one of the largest for several years, there being a great demand for all kinds of trees and shrubbery. Fruit trees have been in great demand, and ornamental trees and shrubbery as well as smaller fruit plants have been shipped out in great quantities. B. J. Vandervoort, of the Corn Belt nursery, stated April 23 that local nurs- eries are putting out many acres of plants in anticipation of future busi- ness and it will take a couple of weeks ' time yet before this work will have been completed. Mr. Vandervoort states that the peach crop in the ma- jority of instances has been killed, as the past winter was a prolonged one and the weather was extremely cold. The trees went into the winter season rather green and were therefore more susceptible to the frost. The plums are damaged to some extent, but according to Mr. Vandervoort the apples, cherries and the more hardy fruits are unhurt. Strawberries may suffer to some extent, by reason of the frost that was in the ground.

HILL CO., RICHMOND, INDIANA 80 The Weekly Florists' Review. May 2, 1912. OTSTEB BAY, N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Oyster Bay Horticultural Society was held in the Board of Trade rooms April 19, with President Duthie in the chair. Sixteen new members were enrolled as charter members. The committee on by-laws reported having prepared a set of them; these were read, adopted without change and ordered printed. The trustees of the Board of Trade submitted an offer of the use of the rooms, which was ac- cepted. The committee was instructed to draw up a schedule for a summer show and report at the next meeting. Mrs. E. M. Townsend wished to do- nate vegetable and flower seeds to any of the high school children who may want them, and also $15 to be divided into two prizes for the best kept gar- den, for cottagers. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mrs. Townsend for her kind donations. John Miller, Laurelton Hall, showed a fine specimen calceolaria, which was awarded a cultural certificate. Alfred Lahodney, superintendent for Mr. Havemeyer, Brookville, offered a bronze medal to the gardener getting most points at the next meeting. James Duthie offered a gold medal to the gar- dener getting most points for the year at the monthly meetings. Votes of thanks were accorded to both gentle- men for their generous donations. J. T. I. LEBANON, FA. Christian C. Yost, the South Sixth street florist, has bought of Dr. A. B. Gloninger and other Gloninger heirs a tract of four acres on South Tenth street, just south of the Cornwall rail- road. The tract lies south of the "Will- iam Kalbach Linden Hill residence and orchard, north of James P. Gates' fine suburban place, and east of J. H. Greiner and P. S. Reiser's South Twelfth Street Heights. Mr. Yost will remove his plant from South Sixth street by degrees until his entire range and his home are located on the newly purchased tract. He will erect a num- ber of new greenhouses, one of them to be 300 feet in length. The new loca- tion for his plant is only a few steps from the line of the Lebanon and Campbeltown street railway. IaIE still have several •^ thousand Light Pink and Rose-pink Enchantress cuttings, grown by one of the best, if not the best carnation grower in this part of the country. $20.00 per 1000 PERCY JONES Tlic Wholesale Florist 56 t Randolph Street, CHICAGO Menttoa Tbe Rcriew when yon wilM.

JOLIHr, ILLINOIS 82 The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 2, 1912. ALVIN, TEX. Tho cape jasmine shippers feel that they are face to face with another un- favorable season, the third in succes- sion. The cape jasmine is about the only item on which florists here do any considerable business outside of their local trade. Many look to the crop for their year's profit and any un- toward circumstances have a greater importance than most of those in the trade realize. Of course the best demand for the cape jasmine buds is for Memorial day, May 30. The crop, when it is too early, as frequently has been the case, never realizes anything like what it does when it comes in just right for the Memorial day special demand — then it is shipped to florists all over the United States, who, because they have a ready sale, are willing to pay fair prices. But this year the crop bids fair to be too late for Memorial day — it looks as though it might not move in any quantity until June. If this fear is realized the market value of the 'crop is problematical, but surely it will be greatly reduced by coming in competition with the peony and other flowers that are then in season. The growers here are hoping for steady, warm, bright weather to bring the crop along. The plants never were in finer condition, although the season is one of the latest in many years. Cantril, la. — A. Troth, who is a vet- eran plantsman, has his greenhouses and hotbeds filled to overflowing with spring stock. Washington, D. 0. — Blankenship & Iglehart, builders with offices at 1107 E street, northwest, have been awarded the contract for three large greenhouses to be erected for Albert Heitmiller. Utica, N. Y.— Roland T. Zoeckler has purchased the greenhouses of Chas. F. Seitzer and removed them to the rear of his home, 38 Hobart street, and will conduct a retail trade in cut flowers and potted plants. Newington Junction, Conn. — Louis L. Barton, who purchased twenty-three acres of ground here and built one 300- foot greenhouse last summer, is plan- ning to build another house soon and expects eventually to have one of the largest rose ranges north of Cromwell. He disposes of his stock at wholesale only and has a ready market for all that he can grow.

COLUMBUS, O. The Market. Trade has been good here of late, with plenty of stock of all kinds on the market. Roses have been quite plenti- ful, but quality has not been up to the standard with some of the stock. The demand has been about equal to the supply. Carnations have been in heavy crop and loads of them are disposed of. Although the price is down consider- ably on the bulk of the stock, the strictly first-class blooms bring a good, fair price. Sweet peas have been in good demand and at times there are barely enough to go the rounds. Bulb stock is coming to the finish now; while there is quite a little on the market, another week will about wind it up. Valley has been rather scarce in this market since Easter and at times it is rather hard to obtain. There are quite a few lilies still on the market, but the demand has been rather light on them since Easter. Smilax is scarce here at present, the numerous decorations of late having cleaned it all up.* Various Notes. The Livingston Seed Co. reports heavy business in the seed department, the demand being ahead of last year, while cut flower trade is also quite heavy. Graff Bros, report good business at the old stand. Mrs. Graff has been in the store most of the time since Will's death. Sherman Stephens is making great preparations for the spring rush in plants. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has a fine lot of salvias coming on and do- nated 5,000 of the plants to the Real Estate Board for beautifying vacant lots. The Muuk Floral Co. has opened a store downtown in the Harrison build- ing and will carry on a retail business in connection with their jobbing trade in supplies. E. Metzmaier reports good business and expects a big rush on plants in the near future. Sam Graff rejioits heavy business in his new quarters in the Keith theater building. J. M. BeUeville, lU.— The St. Clair Floral Co. has rented the store in connection with the Gem theater and will conduct a retail business at that place.

Please state whether gardenias in 2%-inch pots can be forced into bloom for Christmas, 1912, and kept blooming until Easter. Any instructions as to how to prepare the soil and grow them will be greatly appreciated. B. E. S. Gardenias which are now in 2i4-inch pots should be moved into 4-inch pots, and later into 6-inch pots. In the latter size they can be flowered for Christmas, provided you have the necessary heat to give them. In order to flower them well at that time, the plants must have a house kept at a minimum tempera- ture of 65 to 68 degrees in winter. Pinch back the shoots in order to secure shapely plants, discontinuing this at the end of July. Gardenias like some bottom heat, and if you can stand your plants where they can get some, they will be less likely to get the yellows and will bloom earlier. For compost, three-fourths fibrous loam, from which the finer particles have been shaken out, one-fourth old dried cow manure and a good dash of coarse sand and fine charcoal will be found excellent. When, they are well rooted, feed moderately with liquid manure; or, better still, use Clay's fertilizer as a surface dressing. Avoid excessive waterings, too much feeding or sharp changes of tempera- ture, as any one of these will cause buds to drop. Give your pots good drainage, use rather coarse compost, water carefully, syringe freely to keep mealy bug in check, use some bottom heat and a brisk top heat and you should get a nice lot of gardenia blooms for Christ- mas. These same plants, however, could hardly be expected to furnish many blooms for Easter. A batch grown 5 degrees to 8 degrees cooler in winter, however, would flower well at that date. C. W. Orlando, Fla. — The business of J. F. Luther, on North Orange avenue, has been incorporated. The incorporators are: J. F. Luther, president; M. M. Stewart, secretary and treasurer, and Hugh C. Allen. Cheyenne, Wyo. — Charles F. Sway- ger, who in addition to doing a florists' business has been gardener at Fort Russell, has resigned that employment to devote his whole time to his green- houses and the downtown store he plans to open.

Our good friends, the men in the coal business, to whom so large a part of the florists' receipts has been trans- ferred this winter, always have told us that, contrary to general belief, theirs is a most unstable trade. Eecent expe- rience goes to prove the statement true. In the coal business, apparently, just as in the flower business, that which everyone expects to happen never comes to pass. Take last summer, for in- stance. All growers were urged to fill the bins in anticipation of a car short- age and a fuel famine in the autumn. But it did not come. In fact, the win- ter spot market was so weak that some dealers thought it best to reduce the prices on contracts made with florists. There was a little flurry due to snow blockades in January, but afterward the market was quiet until toward spring, when everyone began accumu- lating coal in anticipation of labor tioubles. Prices for spot coal took a big jump. April 1 came, and the "strike," but the new wage scales have been agreed on for two years and the mines are open again this week — but the big accumulated stocks of coal hardly have been touched. Scarcely anybody is in the market. Spot coal is going begging, what little has come forward. The most experienced observ- ers predict a flat market for weeks; at least through May. They say it is a fine opportunity for anyone able to take in coal now, and pay for it, cash. With this situation, the question arises as to what the contract prices on coal are likely to be for the ensuing year. According to the Black Diamond, the programs have been mapped out by the different states about as follows: The Ohio mines, which have only the demands of the miners to meet, have arranged to add 5 cents a ton to last year's contract figures. The Indiana mines, which have the demands of the miners and some new laws to take care of, are adding 7 cents a ton to the old contract prices on mine run and screen- ings and 10 cents a ton on lump coal. The Illinois mines, having both the de- mands of the miners and the require- ments of the new liability act to take care of, are practically forced to add a minimum of 12% cents a ton to last FLORISTS' POCAHONTAS COAL Shipped anywhere from coast to coast.

A short time ago, it seemed that smoke- less mine run would be in big demand at fancy prices. In fact, the market seemed then, to some, to be so strong that a steady price of $1.25 for the year was declared to be warranted. As to what will be the influence upon these contract prices of the immediate resumption of mining would be pure conjecture. It must be said, however, that with the mines running and with no demand for the coal, the results to the coal producer cannot be satisfac- tory. The great danger is that forcing the coal upon the spot market will cheapen the commodity and lead to hasty conclusions that the same condi- tion will rule through the year. This is by no means certain; the market for coal frequently shifts direction as suddenly as does the cut flower market. A CONCBETE STACK. How should we go to work to build a concrete stack?

We used two sets of the forms, removing the lower set each day, put- ting it on top and refilling it. Thus we went up three feet per day. "The stack has a 36-inch flue. All scaffolding was placed inside, thus sav- ing a good deal in that item of expense. The wall for the first thirty feet is eight inches thick, and the upper thirty-two feet is six inches thick. In the upper thirty-two feet we also re- duced the size of the reinforcing pipes to 1-inch. "The entire cost, including the mak- ing of the wooden forms and the ex- cavating for the foundation, was $290. The connection to the boiler is made with a cement flue running from the boiler cellar up into the square base of the stack." FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER. Kindly let me know whether it would be practicable to change my heating system from steam to hot water. My three greenhouses are located on a square tract of ground, with the potting shed at one corner of this square and the boiler house at the opposite corner. Two of the houses meet at right angles, in the shape of an L, with the potting shed at the corner where they meet. These houses are 20 x 100 and 22 x 100. Inside the angle formed by these houses is the other house, 12 x 65, which runs parallel with the 20-foot house and abuts on the 22-foot house. The rest of the ground, between these houses and the boiler house, is vacant. Two main supply pipes extend from the boiler, at right angles to each other, one main running to the ends of the 20-foot and the 12-foot house, and the other to the end of the 22-foot house. The latter main is also tapped by a main which runs to the dwelling house, forty feet away. The boiler is thirty horse-power and of the flue type, but has only a ^Vi- inch outlet. What size of holes would it be necessary to make for both flows and returns! What size of pipes should be used? At present the pipes are 2- inch and \y^-\n(i\i. M. B. S.

Could cucumbers and tomatoes be grown satisfactorily in a house where bedding plants are grown, if the seed of tomatoes were sown February 1, and cucumbers March If They would be grown on benches, so that they would only partly occupy the house until June 1, when the bedding stock would be out. What would be the best method of management T What would be the best way to pipe a house 18x100 feet, running east and west, with 5-foot cement walls with the exception of the south side, which would have two feet of glass above three feet of cement? C. A. P. Tomatoes would work out all right, using part of the bench, but cucum- bers would not, as they grow so rap- idly that they would shade all other stock and they require a warmer tem- perature. These two conditions would ruin anything in the line of bedding plants. You might make it by start- ing the cukes a month later. It is not best to try to grow both cukes and tomatoes in the same house. They like different degrees of moisture and temperature. For these crops keep the pipes un- der the benches and about a foot be- low the bottoms of the benches. You do not say what kind of heat is want- ed, or whether the house is separate or against another. For steam you would need ten lines of l^-inch pipe for your purposes if the house is alone, but if protected, less might do. H. G. VEGETABLES IN CANADA.

The second annual flower show was held April 20, in the spacious head house of the new greenhouses at the Pennsylvania State College, under the auspices of the Department of Horti- culture and the Penn State Crab Apple Club. It is estimated that nearly 2,000 people visited the exhibition. The exhibition was artistically staged under the direction of Prof. J. W. Gregg, who is in charge of floriculture and landscape gardening and who so successfully inaugurated the custom a year ago. With the success of this sec- ond exhibition it is safe to say that it must now be considered one of the great social and educational events of the col- lege year. While the exhibit from the college greenhouses, consisting of ten varieties of carnations, Easter lilies, or- chids, snapdragons, geraniums, palms, ferns, and floral pieces representing stu- dent work, was artistically arranged, the real success of the show was due to the cooperation of some of the largest and best commercial growers in the state. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. sent a display of roses and carnations, per- haps the largest and, as a whole, the finest exhibit in the show. J. L. Dillon, Bloomsburg, staged some excellent Rich- mond, Killarney, White Killamey and My Maryland, while the stems and blooms of the Enchantress, White En- chantress and Rose-pink Enchantress, Bassett and Winsor were excellent. S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, staged their usual high quality of roses and carnations. Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, were again on hand with American Beauties and Hilda. The Florex Gardens, North Wales, were heavy exhibitors of roses, including American Beauty, all of them of a quality that won for them a prominent place in the show. Senator Heacock, Wyncote, sent some of his famous roses. Evenden Bros., Williamsport, staged a fine exhibit of Gov. Herrick violets, sweet peas, swainsona, alyssum, roses and carnations, which included an un- named white seedling that attracted much attention. Oakwood Rose Gar- dens, Oil City, sent some excellent Bride, Maid and Richmond, while their White Killarney and Killarney demand- ed more than one look. Fred C. Greene, Oil City, showed a fine plant of Spira?a Gladstone and the New Jersey Experi- ment Station, at New Brunswick, sent some fine Maryland roses from plants grown in the same soil for three years, entirely with chemical fertilizers.' Ru- dolph Kaiser, Annapolis, Md., staged some excellent snapdragons, Bradt car- nations and smilax. Wasmer Plant Boxes are the beet and cheapest In the market for Palma.

The Eeview has received some photo- graphs, one of which is reproduced here- with, accompanied by the following let- ter: I am sending you pictures of some of the work I have put up. I shall be glad to have you reproduce them in The Review and criticise them, as you have done with others — I want to know what the trade thinks of my work and trust that you will do justice to this oppor- tunity. In reproducing I ask that you leave the name in. Hilary E. Le Page. Criticism Necessarily Frank. I have been requested to make these criticisms and, as criticism is neces- sarily frank and perhaps brutal at times, I hope that the maker of the de- signs, who is positively unknown to me, will at least accept my meaning in a broad sense, considering the interest of those of our trade at large who may read what has been written and per- haps find some benefit. Our desire is only to improve our work by a clearer understanding of art and, therefore, the criticisms are, in the belief of the writer, true, without exaggeration or restraint. It would be hardly fair to the de- signer of the work in the pictures sub- mitted, or to the critic, to proceed with criticism without a few words of ex- planation on some of the simple and es- sential lines of art. Designing is a space, and art is con- cerned in breaking up that space to create a pleasing eye picture of har- mony in material tone and color. Your interest must be attracted to some -object or high light, and all else must be subservient to that principle. Your arrangement must contain a de- cided theory or tell a positive story and, while the general lines must conform and be proportionate to the whole, the high light or attraction must center on some locality and be distinct in detail and assertion. The main form will first hold the great interest, and so you must center your opposition or high light interest on the main body. Where two directions or objects are contrary, the greatest interest will be found at the greatest point of opposi- tion, so at the greatest point of oppo- sition you must place your greatest in- terest or high light and there must re- pose your richest material. You must be always careful that you do not cre- ate a point of interest and fail to qual- ify it. Remember, we are to a great extent copiers of nature. When we use mate- rial in masses for form, our high light or interest point must be in decided op- position, yet all must harmonize in pro- portion and color. Where you have two strongly con- trasting factors a third, well chosen, will harmonize them. Nature groups her subjects and in the grouping of subjects you create your opposing point of interest. So much for Art. We must always consider material. Our aim is to produce, at a minimum of cost in material, a maximum of beauty in design. So we must be careful at all times not to enrich at the expense down and find a bow of ribbon and a number of ends. We have failed to find a high light of sufficient interest, for we find an almost equal attractive value in each of the materials men- tioned. True, there has been care in grouping, but it has been painful in its precision and without conventional form to excuse it. Conventional lines are to be avoided in such a piece as this; they only have place in some of the so-called set pieces. Sprays Offered for Gitidsm. of material, but rather by care in se- lection and art in design. * ' Waste not ; want not." The illustration contains two clusters. The larger cluster tells the story of a pair of cycas leaves, with a cluster of carnations tied into place by a bow of ribbon. The cycas take separate angles and lead the eye to the cluster, but as direction is the same, we continue on Had the maker lengthened a few of his carnations and given a little of na- ture's freedom in his arranging, he would have broken the symmetrical use- lessness of flower mass and would have gained some opposition to his general outline, and by showing the projection of stems or the reversal of flowers at the tying point he would have given 14 ThcWcckly Florists^ Review^ Mat 9, 1912. sufficient excuse for his ribbon bow, but not for the innumerable ends. The smaller cluster of violets calls for practically no criticism. The flow- ers are massed into what is commonly called an oval form. This in the small size is sufficient to attract, but should be without a tie unless the flowers are given proper direction and the stems are apparent, or the bunch reverses its direction to give cause for the tie. The tie should be of ribbon and not of cord, in my estimation. Fred C. W. Brown. Criticism Is Cold. It seems a cold-blooded thing to criti- cise a design from a photograph, as no doubt the dewy freshness of the flow- ers would appeal to you and put a quite Form Lacks Orace. In making up violets into the form of a small spray there is little chance for the designer to show his skill. About all one can do is to wire the vio- lets into small bunches of five or six flowers and then make these small bunches into a spray. In the spray illustrated herewith, were it not for the cord, a person could not tell which was the end of the spray, as apparently no stem shows. Violets being usually short-stemmed, some other green must be used to produce the effect desired. Small green galax leaves resemble the violet leaf and stem most closely, but these are not always available. On a small spray of violets a number of loops of violet cord are pretty, but on Flowers at a Recent Funeral at Knozville, Tenn. different aspect to the rather stiff ar- rangement of the bunch of carnations shown. To eliminate the stiff cycas leaves and make the carnations a little more irregular on the sides would great- ly improve the design as to form. With more pretty ferns as a background and a bunch of maidenhair fern just above the bow, it would do nicely. Carnations are not easy to arrange in a flat bunch and a really graceful bunch is almost an impossibility, as the stems are so bare and the heads al- most too heavy for the stems. This makes them much harder to deal with than the always graceful rose, which seems to respond to the least effort and looks well in any position. I do not like the cycas leaves for any floral arrangement. The palm family is merely decorative as a pot plant in rooms, halls, churches or landscapes and does not enhance the beauty of flowers. Hence it seems wrong to cut and use them for that purpose when there are so many exquisite ferns that seem to be made expressly to mingle their grace and freshness with the fragrance and purity of the blooms, whether it is the queen of flowers, the rose, the popular carnation, the dainty sweet pea, or the most of other equally lovely speci- mens of the flower family. I love them all and it is a delisrht to gather, to ar- range, to weave them in bunches, gar- lands, etc., to go forth on their errands of love and sympathy. Sue M. Cabaniss. as large a spray as the one shown a violet ribbon in about a No. 9 width, or a 2-inch gauze, would be more effec- tive. The larger picture is that of two cycas leaves crossed and a spray of carnations tied thereon. In making up a spray of flowers to be fastened to cycas leaves, a far more artistic effect will be produced by not using fern leaves under the flowers. The cycas leaves in themselves are enough to sup- port the flowers. The carnations in this piece also are bunched up too closely in the end of the spray. It would have been far more pleasing to the eye if in making the spray the first flowers tied had been left to extend out more, even if from four inches to six inches of the stem were to show. The next time the designer of the piece shown is called on to make up a similar one, let him wire some of his carnations and let them project out gracefully from between the others, so that, instead of having an even line around the outside of the spray, the flowers will have a more careless but still graceful and airy appearance. On a piece of this description a bow of ribbon is decidedly proper, as it holds the flowers to the cycas leaves, or should at least produce this effect. The bow shown in the picture is nicely tied. Hugo Schroeter. Tailor-Made Sprays. This tailor-made casket spray is a fa- miliar sight in the average flower shop, and in many a one boasting of high class equipment and patronage. It is so neat, so trim, so well groomed, so eminently proper as to suppress every naughty bit of truancy and sweet will- fulness of every carnation and fern leaf upon two as proper cycas leaves as ever revoluted. Why is it that so many in the store craft seem to think that artistic work is so intangible, so impractical, that only in some far-off dream day in the next world, when there is no rush on, they will throw off the shackles of con- ventionality, unbridle their artistic in- stincts and decorate the heaven of heavens? Do it here, friends. Break loose today. To our friend who has so generously offered his work for criticism, we would suggest, first, that he has cut the carna- tion stems too short. If the foliage is good you will need to do little if any clipping. The stems are needed to bal- ance the bulk and length of the flower part of the spray. The top-heaviness of this spray is increased by the addi- tion of the cycas leaves. A scattered bunch of carnations at the base of the cycas leaves would be better. Or the cycas leaves might be ribbed with long, stemmed carnations wired, from the base to the tips. The cycas leaves could be crossed and tied low. In this way a few flowers would be thrown be- low the tie and their stems and the cycas stems would appear. As the piece now stands the tie con- Motor Delivery of the E. Wienhoeber Co., Chicaco. Mat 9. 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 15 Church Decoration for a Golden Wedding by A. F. Kellner Co., Milwaukee. tains the best touch in the whole ar- rangement. If as much swing were al- lowed the flowers as is shown in the ribbon arrangement and some of the ferns were grouped against the tie, the spray would have been above censure. Scatter, loosen and free the flowers. Lengthen the stem end of the spray. While the same may be said of the violet spray, the fault is not so exag- gerated. It could be loosened and more depth added by wiring the flowers and foliage onto a brush of Asparagus Sprengeri. Each spray of Sprengeri could be covered separately and all tied together, making a springy, airy spray of violets and foliage. Gertrude Blair. FOR A SENATOR'S FUNERAI.. The funeral pieces illustrated on page 14 were made for the funeral of Senator Eobert L. Taylor, which took place at Knoxville, Tenn. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in the south; there were over 8,000 people at the cemetery. The picture shows the scene in the room where the body lay in state, with the various specimens of the flo- rists' handiwork arranged on the stage behind the casket. As the senator died on Sunday and the funeral was not held until the following Friday, some of the designs were not in such a condition as to show to advantage in the picture. The funeral party traveled from Wash- ington in a special train^ which was detained in Virginia for thirty-six hours on account of the high water, thus de- laying the funeral. One of the largest pieces — the tall design in the center of the back row — was made by Charles L. Baum, of Knoxville. TELL US ABOUT IT. The trade really is indebted to Chapin Bros., Lincoln, Neb., for the discovery of Mothers' day. It was the second Sunday in May, 1908, that the Chapins wrote to The Eeview telling how Mothers' day had appeared unan- nounced in Lincoln and caught them unprepared. They wanted to know more about it: what Mothers' day was, and what should be done to prepare for it. The Eeview said nothing then — after it was all over for that year — but two weeks before Mothers' day in 1909 The Eeview printed the Chapin letter, bringing Mothers' day conspicuously to the attention of the whole trade and suggesting many ways it could be pushed. Everybody knows the rest — the business of the day has grown "by leaps and bounds." Each year when Mothers' day approached, The Eeview has shown how enterprising florists worked up Mothers' day the season before. The letters from the trade have been of the greatest assistance in this. Write to The Eeview right after Mothers' day — it is next Sunday — tell- ing what you did to work up business. Especially tell how you turned a part of the demand to "bright flowers for mothers living." That is the point of prime importance now. A WEDDINO ANNIVEBSABY. The photograph here reproduced gives some idea of the style of church deco- rating done by the A. F. Kellner Co., of Milwaukee, Wis. The firm makes this line of business a specialty. The deco- ration shown in the picture was exe- cuted last March for the golden wed- ding anniversary of one of the firm's former employees. Wild smUax was used for the over- head work, while palms formed the background for neat groups made up of Manda's golden privet, cibotiums and a collection of other ferns. Four laurel trees were used to good advan- tage. The number 50, which was made up of double narcissi, showed up well. A vase of roses at each side of the center gave the hedgelike effect a pretty finishing touch. E. O. WIENHOEBEB'S AUTO. The Ernst Wienhoeber Co., Chicago, was almost the last of the prominent re- tailers of that city to adopt the motor as a means of delivery — the horses looked good enough for a long time, but finally the commercial automobile be- came so highly developed that most of the early objections were overcome. The car shown in the accompanying il- lustration has been in use one season, and it is safe to say that the Wienhoe- ber Co. now would find it indispensable.

Durability Combined with Cheapness. The object of this talk is to indicate by illustration and description one of the newer but rapidly expanding appli- cations of concrete, namely, in green- house construction. It is only within comparatively recent years that serious attention has been paid by florists to the advantages offered by concrete in this class of building. With the rapid decrease of our tim- ber supply, and the resulting increase in the price of lumber, there has come a necessary demand for a new building material. The progressive florist has hailed with delight the advent and rapid rise of the use of the new build- ing material — concrete — a manufactured stone as durable as rock, stronger than brick or rubble stone masonry, adapt- able to practically any form of detail, but more important than all these to the florist is its ultimate cheapness for construction purposes. Portland cement is a term applied to the finely ground product resulting from the burning together of various mate- rials of proper chemical composition. It is not called Portland cement because it was first made in Portland, Me., or in Portland, Ore., but because the En- glishman who first made it thought he detected a resemblance between the material and a certain natural stone known as Portland. The first cement mill in this country was built by David O. Saylor, at Cop- lay, Pa., in 1871. There were, January 1, 1912, about 100 cement manufactur- ing companies throughout the United States, whose total output for the year 1911 was approximately 78,000,000 bar- rels. This gives you some idea as to the great progress made in a few years. What Concrete Is. Concrete is the hardened, rock-like product resulting from a mixture of Portland cement, sand and gravel or broken stone with water. Cement is the material which binds the sand, gravel or broken stone together, the whole being referred to as concrete. There are many brands of cement on the market. Each manufacturer gives his product a special brand name and uses a trademark, which is printed on the sacks in which the product is packed. The terms cement and con- crete, while frequently used inter- changeably, are in no sense synonymous. Up to a few years ago lumber was used exclusively in bench construction, but with the constant increase in price, some florists began to experiment with concrete for greenhouse construction. At first the application was to posts only and, as no drawbacks to the con- crete posts with a spread footing were found, it became standard practice. An abstract of an Illustrated talk by S. A. Jamieson, of the Universal Portland Cement Co.. before the Chicago inorlsts' Club, May 2, 1912. Next came the monolithic bench, of which there are such excellent examples in use today. Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111., first used a monolithic or one-stone bench 250 feet long and five feet wide. These benches have given excellent sat- isfaction, but the illustrations herewith are of a concrete bench of a later design used by them. It is of sectional con- struction and, for the purpose of being photographed, the piece shown in the larger picture was set up by three men in ten minutes. In the background are piles of concrete lumber from which the benches are made. This lumber is cast in a central plant and as no piece is heavier than one man can lift, it is eas- ily handled and hauled to place, and can be erected by common labor. Dimensions of Members. The bench consists of 6-inch tapered posts having 10-inch bases; cross beams forty-nine inches long, six inches d^ep and one and one-half inches thick, rest- ing in slots in the posts; 2x4 stringers six feet two and one-half inches long, resting on the cross beams; side pieces of "L" shape, six feet long by ten inches high by one and one-quarter inches thick, with an angle cast at the bottom three and one-half inches wide, forming the rest for the bottom slabs; end pieces of the same section as the sides, and bench slabs fifty-three inches long, nine and one-half inches wide and one and one-eighth inches thick, resting on the sides and also on the stringer at the center. The bottom slabs lock the whole structure together, so that it has all the stability of a monolith and yet cannot be cracked or injured by a settlement or movement of any part. Each mem- ber is carefully reinforced with both chicken wire and several ^-inch twisted square bars, except the string- ers, which have ^^-inch bars only. This bench may be erected with any number of sections, is readily moved when changes become necessary, has perfect drainage, cannot tip over, can- not rot or rust, never requires repairs, is economical and is a permanent asset to any florist. The plant required for making the concrete lumber consists of a batch mixer, sill molds and a number of spe- cial molds for the sides and ends, which were made up by carpenters. The first cost of construction was two and one-third times what it would have been for lumber. But fifteen years from now the concrete benches will be as good as they are today, while in the same period three sets of wood benches would have been built at a greater cost than for concrete. The actual economy of concrete is thus demonstrated con- clusively. Poebltnann Sectional Concrete Bench Just After Planting: to Roses. Mat 9, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 17 SecHooal Concrete Bench Built by Pochlmann Bros. G>., Mcrton Grcve» lU. Other Uses of Concrete. Other uses of concrete in the Poehl- mann plant are numerous. All drains and sewers are of cement drain tile. The 10x36-inch size are made at an average rate of fifteen per day by one man and a machine. Sidewalks and tracks are extensive, the concrete being carried up flush with the rails for the latter. The manure pits are of concrete and those in use for years show no deterioration, though constantly sub- jected to live steam and organic acids. Concrete has proved extremely satis- factory and economical in this work and has required no special engineering supervision, the owners having not only developed the system but also person- ally supervised the construction.

This style of bench is the result of many years of px])erimenting. A typical bench at this establishment is fiVe feet wide and 100 feet long. The bottom and side walls are only one inch in thickness. It is supported by two rows of con- crete posts, forty-four inches on cen- ters, each way. The posts, which are five inches in diameter, are built by the use of patented molds and poured at the same time as the bench proper. No reinforcement is used in the posts, while the bench is reinforced by a single thickness of standard 2-inch mesh poultry netting. A strip of this a foot wider than the finished bench is laid in the forms before pouring. The edges are bent up so as to rein- force the side walls and it is supported at the proper height from the bottom form by small tapering blocks placed at intervals, according to soil condi- tions. These blocks are left in place when the concrete is poured and are withdrawn when the forms are re- moved, thus providing openings for proper drainage. The mixture used for this work con- sists of one part of tement to three parts of washed torpedo sand. No coarse aggregate was used. The mate- rials were mixed with sufficient water to form a slush concrete and the entire bench, including posts, bottom and side walls, was poured at one operation. The forms were left on the work for two days. The speaker here showed a series of views of various styles of concrete benches, including among others one used by Walter S. Hall, Osage, la., in which the blocks are one foot wide and as long as necessary for the width of the bench; one in the Schiller estab- lishment, Chicago, where the Wittbold style is used, and an interior view of Robert Wilson 's retail establishment at Brooklyn, N. Y., which afforded a good idea of the well known Wilson bench, used so much in the east. Then followed three views taken in the Garfield Park conservatories, Chicago, where concrete has contributed its share toward the perfection of one of the most superb conservatories in this country. You will notice, said the lecturer, that no system of bench construction has come into general use.

In order to have such godetias as Lady Albemarle and The Bride in bloom for Memorial day the seed must be sown from February 15 to March 1. The best plan is to place half a dozen seeds in 3-inch pots and later transfer them to benches if wanted for cutting. If pot plants are desired, shift into 5-incli pots.

One of the progressive concerns in New England is the Queen City Floral (^o.. of Manchester, N. H., of which S. H. Mead & Co. are proprietors. Carna- tions are a leading 8j)ecialty and the ac- companying illustration is reproduced from a photograph of a house 28x365 in which the standard varieties are grown. Since wholesale and retail busi- ness is done, a general line of stock is grown and in the summer the grounds are so elaborately planted with bedding stock as to afford a fine example to the people of the town. INSECTS ON CARNATIONS. Last fall our houses were invaded by a host of little black bugs. They did not seem to disturb anything except the carnations. On these they ate the green from the u])per side of the leaves, leav- ing it light colored, somewhat as do the red spiders. We sprayed and dusted all sorts of insecticides, but none seemed to drive them out or kill them. We also tried hydrocyanic acid gas, liut still had these small, black, jumping bugs, until the arrival of cold weather. W^e notice them now, and coming all at once "as thick as hops," on the carnations only, so far. in the past a few which we think to be the same kind have been found on our smilax and also on our early vegetables out- side. We enclose a few of the bodies ot the insects, caught after a long chase and perhaps badly smashed. Is there a remedy? We found our carnations suf- fered in the fall from the war we waged against the bugs, but later rallied and came along satisfactorily. R. H. The insects enclosed with your query are strange to me and 1 regret to say that 1 can suggest no remedy which ■would likely be more successful than what you have already used. 1 car only suggest that, when you replant this summer, you fumigate the house thor- oughly with sulphur before planting new stock. Send specimens to the state or government experiment station near- est to you. Perhaps they can identify it and advise you how to combat it. A. F. J. R. POINSETTIA CUTTINGS. Will you please give directions as to how to take poinsettia cuttings off the obi plants, how to cut them, and how to handle them, in a general way, so as to root them successfully in sand? J. B. D. The old, dormant poinsettia plants should have been started before now Do not give them too warm a house; 50 degrees at night is sufficiently high, as then the cuttings will be more stocky. The best cuttings are those rubbed off with a heel. They will root earlier than those which have been allowed to get long and have to be cut through with a knife. They are also less likely to damp off. A bottom heat of 75 degrees, with a top heat of 60 degrees, is ideal for rooting poinsettias in. Use a fairly coarse sand, keep them shaded from direct sun and water them on an aver- age once a day, except when the weath- er is dark and damp. Pot up the cut- tings as soon as the roots are an inch in length. Use 2-inch pots and a com- post of loam, leaf -mold and sand. Give them a bench in a warm house. Shade for a few days and they will soon start away to make roots and growth. Be careful to take the cuttings out of the sand while the roots are short, as they are quite brittle. When making the cuttings, trim the leaves off pretty closely. If these directions are followed you should have little trouble in rooting, cuttings. To stop bleeding, dip the bottoms of the cuttings or any other portions in powdered charcoal. C. W. GARDENIA CULTURE. Rooting the Cuttings. Many growers of good stock in other lines fail or only partially succeed in growing gardenias; yet there is no par- ticular difficulty in their culture where the requisite heat and moisture are main- tained and the plants are kept clean. Cuttings may be made at any time of the year when clean, flowerless shoots can be obtained. They root most freely when the wood is only half matured, and if taken with a heel, all the better. A brisk bottom heat should be given and the sand should be well firmed, whether pots or the ordinary propagat- ing bench is used. The plants should not be allowed to make much root in the sand, but should be potted into 2-inch pots as soon as about half an inch of root is made. In the Pots. From the earliest stages of their Carnation House of Queen Chy Floral G)*, Manchester, N. H. May 0, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 21 Primulas Grown by Lewis J. Brundagr, Dundee, N. Y., One Plant to a 5-inch Pot. growth the young plants must be al- lowed full sun and plenty of water. Often a flower bud will show as soon as the growth starts, and this must be at once removed and the growths pinched early, in order to induce a stocky, bushy growth. Pot firmly at all times, as firm wood is needed, and this does not follow potting in loose, rich soil. The best kind of compost in the early stages is a good, sound loam, with plenty of fiber from rotted sod; if this cannot be had, leaf-mold, peat or well-decayed manure should be added to the soil in its place. A plentiful sprinkling of sharp propagating sand must also be given. At each potting it will be best to pinch the growth, to maintain a bushy habit and prevent the formation of flower buds, for the gardenia is of so free-flowering a character that these ap- pear at every break. On the Bench. To have good stock for planting on the benches, a shift may be given to the 3-inch size, while, if the plants are to be raised in pots, the 5-inch size should be reached before allowing them to flower. Some growers never pot their plants for bench work at all, but bed them out thickly on a stock or growing bench and lift them again for trans- ferring to their permanent quarters. Time is saved in this way, but in the hands of unskillful growers the young plants often receive too much water in the earlier stages, and they are safer in pots. A frequent mistake is giving too great depth of soil. About three inches is ample for the start, and this can be added to in the form of top-dressings, which will cause the roots to come to the surface and ramify freely, giving hundreds of feeding points which are mighty useful to the plants. Here, again, the soil must be free and open, but firmly placed and rammed. Loose soil means soft growth, which is fol- lowed almost invariably by bud drop- ping. Feeding. With soil of good texture, as already described, feeding is not usually needed until the flower buds show in the points of the young growth, and it is then, if ever, that a little shading may be needed, in order to get length of stem. But strong, healthy plants will usually be long enough in stem without the shading, and the substance of the flowers will be better. Almost any form of manure is suita- ble for feed, but soot is one of the finest in existence. Nothing I have ever tried has given such substance to the flowers and such rich, glossy green to the foli- age as soot water, and it is almost impossible to overfeed with it, provided the soot is at least one year old before use. A little sheep manure and soot mixed, placed in a sack and allowed to steep in a tank, makes an ideal food for gardenias. Sprajring with Soot Water. A form of feeding not much prac- ticed, but highly suitable for gardenias, is by means of spraying overhead be- fore the flowers show, and here, again, soot is fine for the purpose. Pure, old soot is steeped in water and well stirred; then it is allowed to settle and the clear portion at the top is dipped or siphoned off. This is mixed with clear water until the mixture is the color of weak tea or a pale amber, and this is sprayed on the plants two or three times a week. Pale foliage cannot exist where this form of feeding is prac- ticed, and it makes insects of all kinds so uncomfortable that they leave the gardenias alone. PRIMULAS AT DUNDEE. With Lewis J. Brundage, proprietor of Sunnyside Farm, Dundee, N. Y., primulas are something of a specialty and the accompanying illustration shows some of his plants. These are all single plants and grown under ordi- nary conditions without any special feeding or forcing. The upper row shows on the left P. obconica grandi- flora fimbriata and P. obconica grandi- flora. The lower row shows P. obconica gigantea Kermesina, P. obconica gigan- tea fimbriata and P. obconica gigantea rosea. ' ' We read a great deal about making up pans of those plants," says Mr. Brundage, ' ' but it seems to us that if more were said about shifting this kind of plants as fast as possible into .5-inch and 6-inch and even larger pots, more profit would come to the grower. 1 think the majority of growers stop at 4-inch. This makes a cheap plant, and pretty for a time, but not as last- ing as where more room has been given to the development of the plant. The plants shown are in 5-inch and 6- inch pots. I will continue experiment- ing sind think it possible to fill even 10-inch pots with a single plant. I think we have greater possibilities in this plant than we yet know about." Geneva, N. Y. — J.

The Earliest Houses. It is a long step from the cumber- some greenhouse of fifty years ago to the modern, cobwebby structure of to- day. The early greenhouses were gen- erally built against a high wall, the wall being on the north side. This was quite a factor in supplying heat during the night. You know how a piece of masonry will absorb heat when exposed to the warmth of the sun, and how warm it feels for a long time after the sun has ceased to shine upon it. So these high walls absorbed the heat and gave it up to the greenhouse dur- ing the night. In those days the only method of heating was by means of stoves, or a long flue, either of pipe or masonry, extending the entire length of the greenhouse, through which heated air generated by a furnace or flue heater was attempted to be car- ried. This method of heating was not satisfactory for the reason that unless the flues were frequently gone over and repaired there was always the dan- ger of their giving out, which meant a serious loss of plants damaged by the gases and fumes which would es- cape into the greenhouse. This arrange- ment of heating was also unsatisfac- tory for the reason that that portion of the flue nearest the heater was nat- urally the hottest and the farthest end the coolest, which made it impossible to secure an even temperature through- out the greenhouse. Later this trouble was overcome to some extent by a hot water heating system arranged by placing a pipe 'coil inside the heater and connecting same by mains with heating coils placed at the coolest end of the greenhouse. Finally the flue heater was abandoned entirely and the heating accomplished altogether by a hot water heating apparatus. Now as to the construction of the superstructure, a heavy wood sill was placed on top of the front wall. Heavy wood rafters were placed about three feet apart, extending from the sill to the ridge, and sashes glazed with glass only six inches wide were placed in the roof. The top sashes were ar- ranged to slide down for ventilation and were operated with a system of ropes and pulleys. Progress Begins. The crops raised in houses of this type were far from satisfactory, as you can readily realize, as with the amount of wood in their construction and the narrow glass, the percentage of light admitted was small, to say nothing of the cold air admitted through imperfect construction. Later full span houses were built of similar construction. Mr. Lord, who was the founder of the Lord & Burnham Co., was a great An extract from an illustrated lecture by Mon- tague C. Wright, of Lord & Burnbam Co., before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, May 7. The address was over 7000 words, or more than four pages of The Review, which precluded publication in full. Some sixty slides were used. lover of flowers and also a thorough mechanic. He had a small greenhouse in his yard which he had built him- self. Mr. Lord became dissatisfied with the results obtained and made up his mind that if horticulture was to make any progress it would be necessary to greatly imprpve the construction of the greenhouse, so he built himself a house which proved to be so far ahead of anything then known that his services were soon in demand among the local community. It was not long before the success attained in these new houses spread beyond these narrow lim- its and the greenhouse business, as a business by itself, was launched. It has continued from that time to grow until it has reached its present proportions. The outlook for its con- tinued expansion, improvement and stability is bright indeed. The principle of the construction adopted and built by Mr. Lord is the same as is universally used today, namely, building the roof as a per- manent structure, with ventilating sashes at the ridge. This method increased the amount of light in the greenhouse and also furnished a weatherproof con- struction. Methods of supporting the roof members are today numerous, but they all are simply a means of making the principle stated above stable and lasting. In the early days there was no glass on the sides. Walls of brick or stone were built and the roof sprung directly from the top of these walls. The inside level of the greenhouse was generally on a lower level than the outside grade. This was done to reduce the surfaces exposed to the out- side air as much as possible. Most of the houses were narrow and the plant benches were so close to the glass that it was impossible to grow plants of any size except on the inner edge of the side benches and in the center benches. The next step forward was to make the roof curved instead of straight. The roof was constructed with two radii, the lower one being about eight- foot radius, the upper forty-five feet. This gave more room for the plants on the outer sides of the side plant beds. The glass was not bent, but short lights were used and as the radius was large compared to the length of each light, the difficulty was solved the same as in building a curved part to a brick house with ordinary straight brick. With the introduction of hot water and steam as a heating medium it be- came possible to increase the width of greenhouses, and houses twenty feet and twenty-five feet in width became common. This gave room for center plant benches.. Next came the intro- duction of glass on the sides, increas- ing the height from the walk level to the gutter line. By doing this it was possible to build the roof without the curve and still have room on the side benches for medium-sized plants. The masonry wall was cut down to almost grade and wooden ventilating panels about two feet high placed on the sides below the top of the plant bench. This in a measure is an ideal way of ven- tilating a house where side ventilation is required, as the cool air from out- side has to first pass over and around the heating pipes, which takes the chil) from the air. The Introduction of Iron. At that time commercial houses were built with locust posts, set about three feet in the ground, four feet above and boarded up to the eaves. As the tendency towards wider houses in- creased and wood decreased in quality, it became necessary to find some mate- rial that would take the place of that then in use. Iron and steel as a build- ing medium was at that time attract- ing attention and to this metal atten- tion in the construction of greenhouses was turned. Cast iron sills for cap- ping the masonry walls were therefore substituted for the three-piece wood sill. Iron rafters were substituted in place of the heavy wood ones. These iron rafters are capped with wood grooved to fit over the rafters and de- signed to receive the glass. By cover- ing this portion of the steel frame with wood, all trouble from expansion and contraction of metal is avoided. Iron purlins were also substituted in- stead of wooden ones. The first iron frame greenhouses to Max 9, 1012. The Weekly Florists' Review. be built were those for Jay Gould, at Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y. Here the cast iron sills, iron rafters and purlins capped with wood were used to sup- port the superstructure. The principle of this construction today is still used on all iron and steel greenhouses. The details may be changed, but the prin- ciple of having the iron or steel frame- work on the inside of the greenhouses, with all members on the outside which receive the glass, of wood, is the same. This construction, after repeated ex- periments, has proved to be the most durable and suitable to our variable climate and has stood the test well. The next important step in the con- struction of commercial greenhouses was the introduction of what is known as the cast iron footpiece construction. A post or footpiece made of cast iron was placed in the ground about thirty inches, and to these steel rafters were bolted. The sides, up to within two feet of the eaves, were built of two thicknesses of boards, with building paper between. This made a cheap and substantial construction. Next, wooden gutters and eaves plates were dropped out and angle iron used in place of the wood plate. The eaves plate is fully one-third smaller than the wood one and many times as strong; it strengthened the greenhouse at its vital point. The bars and rafter caps were fastened to this angle iron with a small cast iron fit- ting. The eaves plate, having part of its surface exposed to the inside tem- perature of the greenhouse, conveys the heat to the outside surfaces and, to a certain extent, prevents the formation of icicles on the outside. Certainly it was and is a great improvement over the wood plate, which was one of the first members in a greenhouse to decay. Larger Glass Comes In. During all this time the distance between the rafters has steadily in- creased, the wood members being made smaller and the width of the glass in- creased. From glass six inches wide to twenty-four inches is the history, although for many reasons of economy glass sixteen inches wide has been and is generally used.. The light admitted has been greatly increased. There is no perceptible difference in the amount of light in a house glazed with 16- inch and 24-inch glass, and the major- ity of the leading growers claim the growing qualities are approximately the same. Most people prefer the 16- inch, as it costs less to replace a broken light, and also a tighter roof can be made with this width glass. If you examine the edge of a light of glass, you will notice that the glass is wavy and not perfectly straight, so that when two lights of glass are lapped you will find that there is a certain amount of open space between the lights of glass. The wider the glass the more uneven it is. With the light construction now used I do not believe it makes any differ- ence in cases where a greenhouse is used for growing a general assortment of plants whether a house is built fac- ing south, east or west, providing there are no trees, hills or other objects to shade the house. The topographical conditions of the site play an impor- tant part in the location. As these usually vary in each case, each case requires individual consideration. Of course where growers desire a green - A Houte of Gittleya Schroederae at the Dale Estate, BratnptOD> Ont. house for roses or carnations, etc., as a specialty, more consideration and at- tention is given in this direction. More sunlight is obtained by placing the greenhouse east and west, so that the sun at noon, when at its strongest, shines directly between the bars and rafters in the roof. I understand from some of the largest rose growers that it is an advantage to place the house from 10 to 15 degrees north of east in order to get the advantage of the morning sun a trifle earlier. The morning sun is, of course, more bene- ficial than the afternoon sun, it being an advantage to start vegetation as early in the morning as possible. The Width Still Increases. As the glass has increased in width, so has the width of the houses, so that now houses thirty, forty, fifty, fifty- five, sixty and seventy-two feet wide are common. Some have been built over 100 feet in width, but in order to reduce the height of the ridge as much as possible the roofs are usually designed with a flat pitch. It is doubt- ful if houses as wide as this are a success unless built on a sloping ground, so that the roof can have suf- ficient slope to properly shed the wa- ter and not have a shower on the inside of the greenhouse as well as on the outside. A pitch of 32 degrees in houses up to thirty feet in width is preferable, and in those from thirty to fifty feet 28 degrees has been found a good angle for roofs; 26 degrees is satisfactory for houses fifty feet wide and over. Now as to supports: A 30-foot house requires no columns. Those thirty-five or forty feet wide require two columns; fifty-five to sixty feet width calls for four columns, and sev- enty feet calls for six columns. Houses seventy or seventy-two feet wide re- quire only four rows of columns if they are used in combination with com- pression trusses. There are some greenhouses con- structed today in which the principle of construction is to truss the roofs, thus eliminating columns to a great extent. This would be more satisfac- tory if the trusses were constructed on a compression basis, but they are con- structed to a large extent on a tension basis, and depend upon all members being constantly in tune, as it were. Now there is considerable vibration in a greenhouse roof and the constant movement is bound to stretch the light rods, etc., which are used in this con- struction. As soon as one member loses its tune, it puts all the others out also, and I believe that a green- house constructed on this principle will deteriorate more rapidly than one sup- ported by columns or with a combina- tion of columns and compression trusses. Semi-Iron or Pipe Frame Construction. We have been considering what is known as the iron frame construction. There is another type known as the pipe frame or semi-iron construction. The difference between the two is not great, the difference being that the steel rafters are omitted in the semi- iron construction and the roof bars, etc., are supported by longitudinal pur- lins made of pipe or angle iron; 1 be- lieve pipe is preferable, for the reason that it casts the least amount of shade. These purlins are in turn supported by pipe columns. The painting and glazing in this construction are the same as in the houses where iron raft- ers are used. There is a slight saving in the cost of this house, as the steel used is less and the parts require less mill work. CATTLEYAS AT DALE'S. At the Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont., there are eight houses, each 16x100 feet, devoted to cattleyas. These houses con- tain over 33,000 plants and it is said that nothing on the place affords equal interest for visitors. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that the Dale people have had rather exceptional suc- cess with orchids, the houses seldom being without a brave show of bloom. The accompanying illustration is repro- duced from a photograph made in one of the Dale houses just before Easter. The variety is Schroederae. The splen- did character of the crop will be ap- parent at a glance. 22 The Weekly Florists' Review* May y, 1912. !t!!ttltftitl:^f^-^^?t!f!"^'''''Mm^;Ht:.tMtt;titti!t|H^ltfft[tltti)||tHtltl{1H^ GREENHOUSE ^^^^ CONSTRUCTION ';ht.

This ill a measure is an ideal way of ven- tilating a house where side vent ilatiof. is rei]uired, as the cool air from out side has to first i>ass oxer and around tlie heating jiipes, which takes tln^ chil! from the air. The Introduction of Iron. \t that time commercial houses were built with locust posts, set about three feet in the ground, four feet above and boarded np to the eaves. As the tendency towards wider houses in- creased and wood decreased in quality, it became necessary to find some mate rial that would take the jdace of that then in use. Iron and steel as a build- ing medium was at that time attract- ing attention and to this metal atten- tion in the construction of greenhouses was turned. Cast iron sills for cap- ping the masonry walls were therefore substituted for the three-piece wood sill. Iron rafters were substituted in (dace of the heavy wood ones. These iron rafters are capped with wood grooved to fit over the rafters and de- signed to recei\e the glass. By cover- ing this portion of the steel frame with wood, all trouble from expansion and pontnj^t-icm of metal is avoided. Iron purHns \v>re also substituted in- stead cff wooden ones.

So far as we now know, thrips may be killed by the use of nicotine extracts, of which there are several on the market. Recent tests of materials containing forty per cent of nicotine have been made, using an ounce to every 1,000 cubic feet of space. The extract was evaporated over small lamps or stoves, and to prevent scorching was considerably diluted with water. It was carried on all night in a moist atmosphere and the house was not opened until morning. Every thrips in the house was killed in this way. A similar test with hydrocyanic acid gas gave an equally good result, but it is certainly unwise to use a gas so dangerous to human life when a less dangerous treatment proves equally ef- fective. It should be remembered that the house in which these tests were made was probably rather tighter than most houses would be. Plant lice are, as a rule, more easily controlled than thrips, and it is prob- able that the treatment just described would prove effective against them also. If any of the thrips are in the egg stage, however, it is questionable whether such would be destroyed in this way, and it would be well to watch carefully after such a treatment, for a week or ten days, for young thrips which may have hatched, and re- peat the dose if any are found, four- teen days after the first fumigation. White Fly. The white fly is more resistant than plant lice, and probably than thrips, to nicotine. Accordingly, hydrocyanic acid gas is generally necessary for the con- trol of this pest. It has been found, however, that in many cases a fumi- gation sufliciently strong to destroy these insects in all stages is too strong for the plants they are on. Usually, when it is first noticed, all stages of this pest are present together. Fumi- gation with hydrocyanic acid gas, us- ing from seven-thousandths to one- hundredth of a gram of cyanide per cubic foot (twenty-five-hundredths to thirty-five-hundredths of an ounce per 1,000 cubic feet), according to the tightness of the house, for three hours after dark, will kill the adults and most of the larvae, without injury to the plants. Fourteen days later the eggs will have hatched into larvse and can be killed by a second treatment, but the pupae which escaped the first treatment will have turned into adults, some of which, at least, will have laid eggs. In order to get the remainder, therefore, a third treatment, again fourteen days later, will be necessary to destroy the last of these pests. A paper by H. T. Fernald, Ph. D., entomologist at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Am- herst, Mass., read before the florists during Farmers' Weelc at Amherst, continued from The Ueview of May 2. Beyond these facts we know little in detail. Two-hundredths of a gram of cyanide per cubic foot (seven-tenths of an ounce per 1,000 cubic feet) will kill thrips, but in many cases at least is dangerous to plants. Thus with the cu- cumber, in experiments carried on at the Massachusetts Agricultural Experi- ment Station, one-third of an ounce per 1,000 cubic feet for forty minutes was about as strong as was safe for the plants, while in Maryland three-quar- ters of an ounce for the same area, left The Kditor la pleased i^hen a Reader inresents Me Ideas on any subject treated In fV/ls^lEt As experience Is the beet teacher, so do -w learn fastest by an exchanee of experiences.

WX SHAIX BK GLAD TO HKAR FROM TOU all night, caused no injury. In such cases it is probable that the difference was at least in part due to a differ- ence in the tightness of the houses used for the experiments. Effectiveness and Safety. At the present time the following is about as far as we can go in stating the relative resistance of different in- sects to fumigation: Plant lice, except in the egg state, are probably the most easily destroyed of greenhouse pests. Next would come thrips and the white fly, though here, too, the eggs are noticeably more resistant than the other stages, and probably at least a second treatment after these hatch will always be necessary. Mealy bugs would perhaps come next in the list. followed by the scales and lastly by the red spider, which seems to be par- ticularly resistant to hydrocyanic acid gas. In all cases the eggs are more re- sistant than the other stages, and this may be due to the extremely small amount of oxygen required for devel- opment in this stage, so that a long exposure would be necessary for their destruction. As regards the strength of gas dif- ferent plants can stand without injury, we are almost without information. Various statements have been pub- lished with reference to one kind or another, but usually with no details. Thus the Easter lily has been reported as suffering no injury by exposure to two ounces of cyanide over night, but the temperature of the house, its hu- midity, and whether the house was tight or so loose that the gas had all escaped after an hour or two, are all unknown, though any one of these fac- tors might make all the difference in the world in the result. Comparing all the data we have, however, it seems probable that we should regard young chrysanthemums, the sweet pea, core- opsis, mignonette, carnation, asparagus fern, pellaea, tradescantia and tomato as among the more delicate plants, fumiga- tion of which must be given with cau- tion. How far this list should be ex- tended is as yet unknown. Temperature and Humidity. The effect of temperature upon fumi- gation is almost entirely unknown. A few experiments along this line, made- at the experiment station here, would indicate that temperature is not an im- portant factor, but that, on the whole, a lower temperature ii^ preferable to a higher one. ' The same appears to be true to some- extent of humidity, though there is some evidence to show that when the atmosphere of the house is moist there is more danger of injury than where this is not the case. On the whole, the results of experi- mental work seem to suggest that there is more danger to plants fumigated for a long time with a small amount of gas, than to those exposed to a larger- amount for a shorter period. Ulti- mately it will probably be found that somewhere between these two extremes is an optimum exposure with a corre- spondingly effective amount of gas, though data on this point are at pres- ent entirely lacking. Belation of Light to Safety. Finally we come to the question of the relation of light to safety in fumi- gation. Here, at last, we have at least a little definite knowledge. Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas cannot be safely carried on during the daytime and there is liable to be some injury May 0, 1012. The Weekly Florists* Review. 95 to plants even on moonlight nights, re- markable as it may seem. This has been so often demonstrated in experi- ments, both at the Massachusetts Ex- periment Station and elsewhere, that it cannot longer be doubted. Fumigation with cyanide, therefore, should not be begun before dark, nor after dark when there is bright moonlight, if a strength of fumigation anywhere near the maximum safe for the kind of plant treated is to be used. Just why light should have an in- jurious effect is by no means certain. A few suggestions on this subject, however, may not be out of place. It is known that green plants in the light take in carbonic acid and give ofiF oxy- jjen. Both during the day and at night the plant is also performing the reverse process; that is, taking in oxygen and •fiving off carbonic acid, though in the daytime this is masked by the other action, which is much the greater of the two. Both processes are carried on at the leaves, and in these, particularly on the under surface, are numerous openings known as stomata, sur- rounded by guard cells which have the power of enlarging and contracting and thus of making the stomatal open- ings smaller or larger. As the two processes work together in the day- time, it would seem as though the stomata would at least be likely to be more widely open at that time and be- come smaller at night, and if so, the smaller the openings the less opportun- ity there would be for the entrance of the gas into the leaf substance to in- jure it. This, however, is as yet purely speculative. Sodium, a Substitute for Potassium. During the last few years the possi- bility of using cyanides other than that of potassium has received some consideration, as several of these are well known to chemists. Of them all, but one seems to be available for fumi- gation, the others being too costly or too diflRcult to obtain. This possible substitute for potassium cyanide is sodium cyanide. Our main commercial deposits of the potassium compounds necessary for the production of potas- sium cyanide are located in Germany, while the sodium compounds needed for the manufacture of sodium cyanide are widely distributed. Then, too, sodium cyanide is now being manufac- tured more abundantly than the other and its unit price is at present rather less than that of potassium cyanide. From these facts it would seem that the substitution of sodium cyanide for potassium cyanide is worthy of some consideration. Belative Strength of Sodium. Sodium cyanide is commonly com- pared with potassium cyanide; that is, the amount of cyanogen in the two is the standard of comparison. Chemi- cally pure potassium cyanide would, of course, be 100 per cent pure, while chem- ically pure sodium cyanide would be 133 per cfent pure. This rather remark- able statement may be explained by stating that, taking the same weights of the two substances pure, there is about one-third more cyanogen in the sodium cyanide than in the potassium salt. If, then, a pound of pure sodium cyanide cost the same as a pound of pure potassium cyanide, it would be much more profitable to use the former, because of the extra amount of hydro- Edmund R. Fry. cyanic acid gas it would produce. The cost is not the same, however, the sodium salt being the more expensive. To obtain the same amount of gas from either material at the same cost, we can afford to pay one-fourth more for the sodium salt, as this gives at least one-fourth more of the gas. At present the price for the sodium cy- anide is not quite one-fourth more than for the other kind, so there is a slight saving by its use — perhaps two or three cents per pound. Purity of Sodium Cyanide. The purity of the sodium cyanide is, however, an important point. An im- purity present in all but the highest grades of this substance is sodium chloride, common salt. Now, when sul- phuric acid is added to such a grade of cyanide it attacks the sodium cyanide, producing sodium sulphate and hydro- cyanic^icid gas. But some of the sul- phuric acid attacks the sodium chlo- ride, changing it into sodium sulphate and hydrochloric acid. II2SO4 + 2NaCl = Na,S04 +2HC1. This hydrochloric acid immediately attacks the hydrocyanic acid gas, de- composing it to a great extent, and thus largely preventing the fumigation. Hence cyanide of sodium, to be suit- able for fumigation, must be practi- cally free from sodium chloride. Accordingly, if sodium cyanide is to be used, it should be insisted that it must be the 124 per cent pure, or above this, and grades "100 per cent" or less should be rejected. The Dose of Sodium Cyanide. With a cyanide containing one- fourth more cyanide than the potas- sium salt, the dose should, of course, be correspondingly reduced. If the dose with potassium cyanide was one ounce for a definite area, with sodium cyan- ide it would become three quarters of an ounce. The best proportions of chemicals to use with sodium cyanide appear to be: For each ounce of cyanide by weight, one ami one-half fluid ounces of sul- I)huric acid and two fluid ounces of water. If the cyanide be of high grade — 124 i>or cent or higher — and free from soilium chloride, fumigation with these jtroportions of materials should be as successful as with the other cy- anide. The time of exposure would be the same. On the whole, sodium cyanide seems t<» })romiae well as a substitute for po- tassium cyanide, if only high grades are used, so long as the price per pound is less than one-fourth more than the price for the same amount of the other substances. E. B. FEY. E. R. Fry, of Rochester, N. Y., is one of that city's most enterprising and ag- gressive florists and growers. He is noted among his acquaintances for his genial personality, as well as for his enthusiastic love of flowers and flori- culture. He was born of English par- entage in the town of Greece, N. Y., near Rochester, and began work in the florists' business when a mere boy. In the early years he had a retail store on Main street, Rochester, which he con- ducted for five years. Then he bought the property on Cottage street, where he now has his residence and green- ^6 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Mat 9, 1912. houses. His establishment is situated on an elevation, overlooking the Genesee nver and a part of the Genesee valley, and the site is an admirable one for a grower, on account of the abund- ance of light and sunshine. He has 9,000 square feet of glass and grows carnations, chrysanthemums, Boston ferns, flowering and bedding plants, for his own use, but he reports that he can not grow enough to supply his own trade. He ships pansy seedlings to dif- ferent parts of the country. He is also growing a few streptocarpus, which, though a highly decorative plant, is somewhat rare in his city. A little over a year ago Mr. Fry purchased from J. 0. Pridmore a green- house containing a small salesroom, on Lyell avenue, about one mile from the city line, and at this place, also, he is doing a prosperous business. E. C. A. PLANTING IN THE FIEU). It is always well to plant out the violet stock before the weather be- comes too warm. Violets succeed best when the ground is cool and moist and do not make much growth during the hot summer months. They do much bet- ter when planted out early. This al- lows them to become established before they get torrid heat. The ground for them should have been liberally ma- nured, plowed and well harrowed. The singles, such as Princess of Wales, should not be less than twelve inches apart in the rows. If hand cultivators are to be used, eighteen inches between the rows will suffice. If horse cultiva- tion is wanted, leave at least twenty- four inches. Choose if possible a cool, cloudy day to plant out the young stock. Try to get a little ball of soil on each, and be sure the soil is well moistened. It is simply a waste of time and energy to plant out violets or, for that matter, any other plants, with dry roots. Never mind if rain does seem imminent. It often does not come when expected and then only in sufficient volume to moisten the surface soil. The grower who is careless enough to bed out any plants with dry roots deserves to lose them. This applies not only to violets, but to all flower and vegetable plants and trees and shrubs of every kind. With double violets, such as Marie Louise, Lady Hume Campbell, Swan- ley White and Farquhar, the plants can go eight to nine inches apart in the rows, and the rows as near as twelve inches apart where hand hoeing can be done. While the single violets succeed well in full sunshine, I have had fine doubles where they have had a little shade from buildings or tall trees. Shade, however, is not neces- sary, as many of the best specialists in doubles grow them in the full sun. If any violets, double or single, are planted out early, while the ground is cool and moist, and are kept thoroughly culti- vated all summer, they should make good growth, unless, peradventure, pro- tracted heat or attacks of red spider should cripple them. It is surprising, however, what a lot of drought even violets will stand if a fine, loose mulch of soil is kept about them. ac ac ac 1 SEASONABLE »e (SD i )> 9^ SUGGESTIONS k I i Poinsettias. If the poinsettia stock plants wejli!f, started as advised a few weeks ago they will now be carrying a nice crop of cut- tings, which should be taken off before they are too long, and inserted in a prop- agating bench where they will have a good bottom heat. The cuttings root most easily and quickly and are the least liable to damp off when taken off with a heel. When they are allowed to become long and have to be cut below a leaf there is always greater danger of their damping in the cutting bench. As a rule one watering a day will suf- fice while cuttings are in the sand. On dark days none may be needed. Be sure not to allow any sun to strike the cut- tings until they are rooted. Once they are badly wilted they might as well be thrown away. Do not leave cuttings in the sand after they have roots an inch in length, as they are easily brok- en. Give small pots at the start and be sure to keep close and shaded until es- tablished. Where stock plants are not yet started it would be well to place them in heat now, as a few weeks will elapse before they will carry cuttings of propagating size. Primulas. The early sown primulas will now be well established in flats and within a few days should go into 2%-inch pots. Use a light compost for them, contain- ing plenty of leaf -mold with just a lit- tle fine manure added. All these green- house annuals grow well in a light soil at the first potting. In a retentive loam they are not at home at all, and to heavy, clayey soils, sand and leaf-mold should be added freely. Where leaf- mold is unprocurable, some well de- cayed hotbed manure or mushroom ma- nure passed through a fine screen may be used with advantage. All the prim- roses like a cool house and are bene- fited by a little shade. .Tust as soon as Memorial day and the rush of bed- ding out is over, move them into a coldframe, which is the ideal location for them in summer. Gardenias. Where an early batch of gardenia cuttings was inserted early in April in a propagating house with a brisk bottom heat the cuttings should now be rooted and ready to pot off. Give them a close, stuffy, moist atmosphere after potting, and give them frequent light sprayings until established. The pres- ent is an opportune time to do more propagating. As with many other plants, heel cuttings root more quickly than any others. The great secret in rooting gardenias is to keep the cut- tings constantly sprayed over. One damping over a day is entirely inade- quate. For the first three weeks keep the leaves constJftJtly damp and few "lis treatment would Id other soft wood lias, with their hard it. will fail to root, soon rot mums cuttings, but garc wood, just revel BerrieC^Solanums. Plant out the ycRing berried solanums any time now. N^ver mind if they get a light freezing; it will not hurt them in the least. These plants are not ten- der subjects and it is a good plan to get the hardier plants outdoors before the real hustle and rush commence. Plant twelve to fifteen inches apart in the rows in good soil and you will get much finer plants and more heavily ber- ried than if you kept them growing in pots all summer. Plants you raised from cuttings will fruit earlier than the seedlings, but the latter have more vigor, are of a stronger and more bushy habit and will make you the finest Christmas plants. Cyclamens. With the rush of other spring work, there is great danger of overlooking those useful winter plants, the cycla- mens. Not infrequently we see them in flats or pots with the surface soil coated with slime and the plants half choked in weeds. Good plants cannot be expected if this treatment is toler- ated. Keep weeds pulled out and en- deavor to give time to transplant or pot over any needing it. A few minutes' labor may mean a big difference in the selling value of your plants next winter. Use a light soil, with plenty of sand in it, and pot moderately firm. Keep the plants on a bench or shelf where they get a little shade from the direct sun's rays and where they have a night tem- perature of 50 to 54 degrees. You will hardly be able to spare frame room for them yet, but as soon as you have cleared out a few sashes of bedding plants, move the cyclamens into cold- frames. Lilium Speclosum. Plants of Lilium speciosum being grown for summer fiowering should have a light house, without much shade. Give them an abundance of air at all times, as speciosums resent coddling. As buds show on the flowering stems, it will be well to give them some support. The stalks may keep erect now, but it will be otherwise when the flowers start to open. Be sure you do not allow any green fly to get a foothold on the plants or you will find many of the flowers will be ruined by it. What applies to L. speciosum applies with equal force to L. auratum and, in fact, to all lilies. Don't wait until you see plants alive with pests and then fumigate or spray; always remember that prevention is bet- ter than cure. May 9, 1912.

Kasting had been suffering for so lojig a time that her condition was not strong; enough to withstand the shock attending the op- eration. She rallied for a brief period, but subsequently had a relapse that ended in her death. Mr. Kasting, who had been with her constantly auring her illness, was at her side when she passed away. Besides her husband, she is survived by three children of tender years, Will- iam, 10; Laura, 8, and John, 2i^ years old. Mr. and Mrs. Kasting had returned from Atlantic City but a few days be- fore, where they had gone hoping to benefit Mrs. Kasting 's health. The fu- neral was held Tuesday, May 7, from Notre Dame de Lourdes. H. Potet. H. Potet, one of San Frauciseo 's pio- neer growers and florists, died in Oak- land, Cal., April 28, aged 67 years. He started in business in San Francisco early in the seventies, with a retail store on Sixth street, near Market street, and several acres of ground near San Bruno road. In a few years he had built up one of the largest businesses there, both in growing and in store trade. After being actively engaged in the business for over twenty-five j'ears, he acquired a competency and re- tired about ten years ago. He is sur- vived by a widow and two children. He was a native of France. BOSTON. The Market. So far we have not had any warm weather and cut flowers of all kinds are still of remarkably good quality. Business also has been quite satisfac- tory and clearances on most days have been good. Carnations continue to keep up their winter quality, and even En- chantress still is fine. Some growers are rather off crop now and the supply is not excessive. Pink Delight con- tinues good, and among white both White Enchantress and White Perfec- tion are fine. The old Fair Maid is now coming in of excellent quality from one or two growers. This is popular as a summer sort here. Roses are a little lower in price, but there is no glut of them as yet. Double violets are making their adieu this week. Sweet peas sell well. They are less plentiful than a few weeks ago. With the passing of violets they are more in demand. In- door grown Dutch bulbous stock is about over, but there are now plenty of both tulips and narcissi from the open. Antirrhinums are abundant and low in price for their quality. Mignonette is getting small and is hard to move. Valley has a fair sale, but lilies and callas go slowly. Marguerites are re- markably fine and in demand; so are Spanish irises. Gladioli are not yet abundant. Cattleya Mossise is coming in more freely and relieves a temporary scarcity in orchids. Gardenias are still of good quality. Adiantum and aspar- agus are a little better in quality. Trade in bedding plants is starting in, and the call for geraniums is quite strong. Various Notes. At the next meeting of the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club, James Marl- borough, superintendent to F. E. Proc- ter, of Topsfield, Mass., will read a pa- per on "Indoor Fruits." Mr. Marl- borough is an expert grower and secured a gold medal for a noteworthy exhibit in Horticultural hall last fall. Arnold & Petros, the Boylston street florists, have dissolved partnership, and the business will be continued by James M. Petros. The firm has done an excel- lent business from the start. J. T. Butterworth, of South Fram- ingham, has an unusually fine lot of Cattleya Mossiac this season. His mil- tonias are also better than ever. An interesting show of hardy bulbous flowers, calceolarias, pelargoniums, etc., will be held at Horticultural hall May 11 and 12. The W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley, has a grand lot of bedding plants, hy- drangeas, etc., for Memorial day* trade and is experiencing a strong demand for geraniums at present. President Sim, Secretary Bunyard and local members of the committees appointed for the coming sweet pea ex- hibition, met at Horticultural hall May 4. Several new prizes were announced and preliminary work on the coming show was well advanced. The Boston parkways are now at- tractive. The forsythias, early spirseas, magnolias, prunus and other shrubs are now making a fine display of bloom. At the Arnold Arboretum the mains collec- tion will be in good bloom about May 15. One or two of the early lilacs are already starting to open. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club will hold a field day at the estate of Bayard Thayer, South Lancaster, Mass., May 17. William Anderson is superin- tendent here, and the displays of bulbs and other spring flowers, malua, lilacs, etc., will be in fine condition at the date named. H. L. Belcher, of Winthrop, says he has never had a better bulb season. He is now cutting the last of his in- door crop, but will have fine valley for some time yet. J. H. Leach & Sons' new carnation, Pink Supreme, is now blooming even better than in winter. The stems are strong and the flowers hold their beau- tiful shrimp pink color well. The Boston Public Gardens are now a riot of color, the annual tulip display being at its height. Nothing is finer than Pink Beauty. Other fine bedders are White Pottebakker, Joost van Von- del, Prince of Austria, Couleur Cardinal, Proserpine, Keizerskroon, Chrysolora, Queen of the Netherlands and Cottage Maid. George T. Elliott, the eldest son of W. H. Elliott, has the felicitations of a host of friends here on his marriage April 25 at Morton Grove, 111., to Miss Alma Brochart. William Sim has his violet houses planted with tomatoes. He has one large house which he is devoting to sweet peas for summer blooming. He is picking quantities of fine sweet peas and pansies. More than usual interest is being taken this year in Mothers' day. All the newspapers have taken it up and have inserted edltoffSijItiotes and spe- cial articles dealing with it and flo rista are preparing for a bigger demand than usual as a result of this publicity. H, M. Robinson & Co. report excel lent business during April and shipping trade holds up splendidly. They are more than pleased with the business being done at their New York branch. Part 1 of the Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for 1911 has been issued. It contains pre- mium lists, committees, reports, etc., and is freely illustrated. W. N. Craig. H. R. Hackel, of H. M. Robinson & Co., is said to be engaged to a young lady at New Bedford, the date for the wedding having been set for June. WASHINGTON, D. C. The Market. During the last week stock has been fairly plentiful — the supply just abont equaled the demand. Prices are about the same as usually prevail during the month of May; carnations are running from $15 to $20 per thousand and roses brought anywhere from $2 to $12 per hundred for the best, but the other grades, of which ther^ are great quan titles coming in from all sources, are going to the street men at about their own figures. American Beauties have met a ready sale, being advertised by the stores at from $1 per dozen up, the wholesale prices being, from $4 to $2.") per hundred. There has also been a ready demand for southern grown American Beauties in the northern mar- kets and large orders are daily being filled for shipment to Philadelphia, New York and other cities. Sweet peas have been in good supply, but the demand is not heavy, with the result that they can be had at any price from 30 cents to $1 per hundred, according to grade. The weather of the last few days has not been the best that could be desired for good results with roses and many of the growers who retail their stock have had to accept lower prices than those which would ordinarily prevail, due partly to the poor condition of the foliage and to the effect of mildew on the buds. Although the lilac season is about at an end, there is still plenty of dogwood, and wild azaleas and snowballs are just bursting into bloom. These flowers are being brought into the market in large quantities and are materially hurting the sale of greenhouse stock; in fact, the standard flowers, such as roses, carnations and similar blooms, are a drug on the market. Spring flowers, such as snapdragon, lupine, stocks, etc., are in good demand and are bringing fair prices. The plant business received a big boom last week and the market men are well pleased with results. Saturday the sale of heliotrope, ageratum, ver benas and similar plants was exception- ally large, prices running from 5 cents to 30 cents per plant. Various Notes.

Work has been begun on a revised edition of Bailey's Cyclopedia of Amer- ican Horticulture. Four double-page spreads again in this issue. The business card stage of adver- tising has been passed by The Review. Next week's issue of The Review will be the one that will be of greatest value to advertisers who want business for Memorial day. The good old rubber plant appears to have gone the same way as its erstwhile companion, Latania Borbonica — hardly anyone growing them now. It costs more to sell goods nowadays than it used to cost — but florists still are getting business cheaply compared to what sales cost in other lines. In spite of repeated statements that no attention is paid to inquiries that do not bear the writer's full name and address, they continue to come to hand, even on unsigned postal cards. 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. Speaking of quick results : Last week 's issue of The Review, carrying a double- })age spread advertising an automobile tire filler much used by florists, was mailed to subscribers Thursday afternoon. Saturday morning 's mail brought the ad- vertiser eighteen clipped coupons, from as far away as Pittsburgh. The lady florists are anxious for a Fathers' day, and several of them write The Review about it at least once each season, about the date of Mothers ' day. But, unfortunately, father does not seem to awaken the same sympathetic response that came Avith the suggestion for the observance of the second Sunday in May. In fact, the suggestion pf a Fathers' day causes nothing but a smile. Forget it. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMBNT8. Worcester, Mass. — A voluntary peti- tion in bankruptcy was filed April 29 by Charles D. Mackie. His liabilities are $11,453, of which $7,820 is unse- cured. His assets are estimated at .$8,300. OBDEBS OOME TOO FAST. For each of the last two issues The Review has carried thirteen solid pages of classified plant advertisements — every line charged for — in spite of the fact that advertisers sell out so fast that frequently it is necessary to cut out before the number of insertions ordered have been given: We shall have to ask you to omit our advertise- ment in the Classified list until further notice, as the orders are coming faster than we can handle them.— R. R. Davis Co., Morrison, 111., April 30, 1912. Those who have surplus stock and who have not yet tried The Review's classified plant advertisements are missing something to their advantage. JASMINE CROP LATE. In regard to your inquiry about the jasmii^ crop here at Alvin this year, we wish to say it is hard to predict at present just what the crop will be for Decoration day. We think there will be a few blooms by then, but the main part of the crop will be a week or two late. The cool weather held them back, and they have just begun to form a bud and put on new foliage within the last two weeks. We will know more fully about May 20. Woodward Floral Co. CHICAOO. The Great Central Market. Business for the first week in May has been about up to the usual stand- ard, a few houses being able to report some increase over last season. The shipping demand is the main reliance, there being nothing special doing in the city. Weddings are not numerous this month, and the call for the flowers used in wedding work is less active than it was in April, following Easter. The several days of unseasonably warm weather have resulted in a large increase in the supply of flowers, but the effect on roses has been much more apparent than on any other stock. Roses have come in so much heavier than during the last week in April that prices are considerably weakened. An extremely large percentage of the re- ceipts grades in the short-stemmed class and these are the roses that are moved with greatest difiiculty. The buyers make the prices. Medium and long- stemmed roses are so few in proportion to the total cut that prices on these are much better maintained. The heat has impaired the quality of practically all roses and the wholesalers are com- pelled to do much more sorting than a1 any time previously this season to get out the shipping stock. Killarney and White Killarney, of course, predomi- nate, but there are good cuts of Rich mond. Mrs. Ward is more abundant than it has been, and both Ward, Mel- ody and Bulgarie sell quickly. The list has been reinforced by the first ship- ments of Sunburst. Beauty crops have multiplied several fold. Prices have taken a drop. In- deed, so rapidly did receipts increase /. May 0, 1912.

Carnations are doing well this week, just the opposite of most other items. Apparently the growers are shipping no more than is necessary, in anticipation of the special demand for Mothers ' day, which will come in the latter days of the week. It is assured that all strictly first-class carnations will sell at fair prices, irrespective of color, but it is too much to expect that overripe stock will find a market — no one would insult his mother by using that kind of stuff. Butterfly sweet peas have arrived in a flood this week; the receipts are sev- eral times what they were in the week preceding. The quality is extremely fine and the stock is selling fully as well as anything else on the list. The winter-flowering varieties are passing out; they cannot be sold in competitio^rv with the Butterfly peas, even at consid-^ erably smaller prices. ?'here continue to be moderate quan- tities of bulbous stock, but the demand has subsided; evidently the public does not fancy bulbous flowers after Easter. The first peonies arrived this week, and from now on this flower is likely to dominate the market to a greater or less extent. Valley is easier than it was, and or- chids have come in so much more heav- ily that prices have dropped off prac- tically one-third. The leading cattleya growers state thatV there will be big cuts between now apd Memorial day, and the hint is giveh the buyers that orchids can be featiired to advantage during the nest thre/^weeks.

Snapdragons continue in overabun- dant supply and the quality is not so good as it was, with the result that much of the stock is difficult to sell at a price that will reimburse the growers. Gladiolus Colvillei is coming in plenti- fully; the principal variety is Blushing Bride. Spanish iris is not so abundant as it was and is making seasonable prices. The outdoor irises that are com- ing from the southern part of the state are practically unsalable; the outdoor iris is not a shipping flower. g Budlong's E Blue Ribbon Valley Mention The Review when you write.

To the opposite effect is the report from Spaulding & Son, Villa Ridge, 111., who saj' many buds are blasted and the crop will be shorter than at first supposed, although the quality of what stock is cut will be extra good. Kyle & Foerster say that Frank Schramm is having excellent success with carnations this season, but that his results with a large crop of antirrhinum are not so satisfactory; in fact, Mr. Schramm says the snapdragons requir^ 80 much extra work that he will grow them again.

THE WHOLESALE FLORISTS OF PHILADELPHIA 9any, is planning a trip to Europe this summer. Samuel G. Harris was the successful bidder for the four flower stands at the ^'ntrances to the city hall. The s\ze of the bids was a surprise to the city fathers of the reform administration; their predecessors in the machine had always given away the privilege as spoils to the faithful. Warren S. Engard has an attractive store at Mount Airy. It contains a home-made ice-box that is particularly satisfactory in its keeping qualities and in the economy of ice. A floral expert of national reputa- tion who wishes to remain incognito has issued a collection of seventy-seven photographs of funeral designs, basket arrangements and bouquets. It is an unusual collection. The fine character of the work and the handsome photo- graphs are enhanced by hand painting. Each photograph is delicately colored, adding beauty and reality to the effect, the dark mats adding charm. The Story of the publishing of these photo- graphs is interesting. Arthur Zirkman saw an order received in one of the leading flower shops in this country and after th^ customer had gone he exam- ined the photograph book from which the design had been chosen. Mr. Zirkman was so much struck with these designs that he advised the artist to publish them, promising his aid. This was finally given, the artist explaining that his wife did all the hand painting. Mr. Zirkman 's idea is to issue as many or as few of these photograi)hs as each person may desire; he believes that those who want them would not use any of the ordinary design books, as his firm, M. Rice & Co., can make each book virtually an original copy. The death of W. P. Peacock, father of Lawrence K.

In many parts of the country Memorial Day is the great flower day of the year; immense quantities of OUR METALLIC DESIGNS are sold ; the demand for them is increasing with amazing rapidity owing to the beauty of these designs. It is no exaggeration to say that they are perfectly natural; in addition to this the combinations of foliage and flower are fully equal to anything that your designs can produce in natural flowers.

What might have been a disastrous accident happened to the new building of the Pennock-Meehan Co., just after the wholesalers had moved in. Kervan & Co. were building in the rear of their store for the foundation of the annex and the Pennock-Meehan building had not been properly shored up, with the result that the rear end of the store fell over into the yard next door. Re- pairs are being made rapidly, so that the business of these firms has not been interfered with. For a time there was great excitement in the neighborhood. Pennock-Meehan Co. now has one of the best equipped stores in the block for the wholesale business. The sympathy of the craft is ex- tended to Wm. F. Kasting, treasurer of the S. A. F., in the loss of his wife. Weekly meetings of the local gov- erning board of the National Flower Show Committee are held in the offices of Traendly & Schenck. Harry A.

Max Schling, who made quite a hit at Easter with a four-leaved clover, says that he has had many requests from the trade for stock of the nov- elty and has decided to disseminate it this season. Julius Roehrs Co., Ruth- erford, are his growers.

Paul and Harry Dailledouze and Leonard Barron are among those sail- ing on the S. S. Philadelphia, May 11, to attend the big show across the water. The warmer weather, which made its appearance the latter part of last week, had a telling effect on the over-the- counter trade among the seed firms, which report that the rush is on at last. It was a long time coming, but welcome when it arrived. Harry Bunyard and M. C. Ebel at- tended the meeting of the executive committee of the National Sweet Pea Society of America in Boston May 4. Some" of the New York seed firms are preparing to make attractive ex- hibits at the summer show of the El- beron Society, which will be held in the auditorium on the boardwalk at Asbury Park, July 3 to 6. Plant auctioneers are reporting busi- ness well ahead^ of last year, saying that sales and prices are both better and that the stock coming in hjis been of such class as to find ready buyers. Robert W. MacNiff, of the MacNiff Horticultural Co., states that he has been having heavy sales of bay trees in all sizes. He has had some fine stock consigned to him and it has been esaily disposed of. New York city reforms have reached some of the seed houses, and with the new insecticide act and seed bills which are being put through the state legislature, they are wondering what next to expect. The city has cleared the sidewalks and it is inconveniencing some of the firms who heretofore have been able to make good displays in front of their stores.

Van Bodiove & Bro., '^AiSilT' The warm weather continued during the last week and there was a good supply of stock on hand. However, it is used up almost as fast as it comes in, so that there is no great glut • in the wholesale market. Prices continue about the same as last week. Growers seem to have been holding back white carnations for Mothers' day, for white carnations are in great demand for that day, since they have the fragrance, the purity, the lasting qualities and the firmness which are symbolic of mother- hood. The violet season has been dull in this section, for the flowers were too poor to handle. Nevertheless, regard- less of the lateness of the season, flower buyers are still clamoring for violets. Sweet peas and valley fill the bill for corsages, though pansies and Ward roses are worn a great deal. All roses are in splendid condition, with the ex- ception of Eichmonds, which are not especially good. Snapdragons are prime favorites, with the yellow variety in the lead. There are a few good late ramblers in pots. Both Dorothy Per- kins and Crimson Ramblers are to be had. Spring weddings are somewhat numerous, but there have been no large ones recently. Carnations begin to show signs of warm weather, for they have brown outer petals and get sleepy in a short time. Various Notes. Charles Curtis, of Irondequoit, is growing some excellent sweet peas. The lavender ones are especially good. George Bennett's crop of spring car- nations is holding up splendidly; he is cutting fine, large blooms of Enchant- ress, Winsor and Boston Market. The good quality of the flowers is undoubt- edly due to the cold spring we have had.

The death of John Meinhard occurred April 30. He was the father-in-law of F. J. and William L. Keller and was most prominent in German circles, hav- ing resided in this city since 1876. He was 81 years old, but unusually active for his age. E." C. A. ST. LOUIS. The Market. It was an irregular market all of last week. There was an abundance of stock at all of the wholesale markets, where on some days business made a great showing and on other days was dull. The prices were low on big lots, but, as business was not any too brisk on the whole, the retailers did not buy heavily and only at bargain sales. Florists downtown bought thousand lots of car- nations, sweet peas and roses. The weather has been warm all the week and stock does not ship in well. Roses have become soft, and Killar- neys and Richmonds come in wide open. There are still plenty of short and me- dium-stemmed Beauties, while the long fancies are somewhat scarce. Carna- tions are also plentiful in all varieties, and cheap. Sweet peas are a glut and have been so all the week, and sell at $1 to $2 per thousand. The California Florist JULIUS EPPSTBIN FRANK H.

Frank Windier, of Smith's, who has the arrangements in hand for the flo- rists' dance this week, says that from the sale of tickets he expects the larg- est attendance of the younger florists, though the older ones were liberal in buying tickets. Everything points to success. A bogus-check swindler tried to work the following Grand avenue florists last week : Eggeling, Windlpr, Bergstermann, Beyer and the Metropolitan, but failed each time.

'WinterB, the Lincoln street florist, is building a greenhouse at 1528 Third avenue. Santa Cruz, Oal. — A flower fair will be held here May 17 and 18 under the auspices of the Santa Cruz Improvement Society. Exhibits of named roses will be a prominent feature. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Trade has been about the average, or possibly not quite up to the average, and anyway not so good as we shoiUd like to see it. The weather, perhaps, has something to do with it; there has been hardly a day without rain and this seems to have had a bad effect for the last week. Carnations are scarce and are bringing better prices than they did all winter. Most of the growers say they are off crop; in a week or two they will be plentiful again, no doubt. With Mothers' day almost here, a shortness in carnations ought to help some of the growers. Outdoor stock is plentiful. Tulips and narcissi sell well. There is some Spanish iris on the mar- ket and it brings good prices. Boses are good and abundant. Funeral work has used up a lot of flowers lately. Various Notes. Miss M. A. Wagner, who was asso- ciated with Miss Lulu Eisdon at the Savoy flower stand, has bought the Crescent Flower Shop, on Pike street, from Mr. Mattria, who will hereafter confine his attention to the Paris Flo- rists' place of business. T. W. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. An abundance of stock of all kinds, with a limited trade, about sizes up the situation this week. There is so much outdoor stock coming to the mar- ket that this is used by retailers in preference to the higher priced indoor flowers; consequently the latter do not find a ready sale. Much of the outside stock is of fine quality, especially the Spanish and English irises, but some of the carnations shipped in simply come under the head of rubbish and should never be sent in. Roses from outdoors are good this season, and these also have a tendency to lower the price of indoor stock, as, owing to their last- ing qualities, retailers prefer them and are willing to overlook any slight rough- ness. Funeral work has formed the principal outlet for stock and this keeps up well. By the time these notes are printed, Fiesta week will be in full swing and an immense amount of stock will be needed for decorating automobiles, floats and other things in the great floral parade. Already the streets and stores have a lively and gala appear- ance, with flags, bunting and palm leaves. A good deal of the work for this kind of thing is not as profltable as it might be for the retailer, but it at least uses up a lot of stock and is a help to the grower, whose expenses are going on all the time whether his flowers sell or not. As to prices, there are none. It is simply a case of getting what there is in it. Owners of cars go around to vari- ous retailers, asking for bids, and usu- ally the lowest bidder gets the job. It is much the same with the larger deco- rations; price cutting ruins the busi- ness, and, after the extra help, late hours and other expenses are taken into account, there is little left for the flo- rist. There has been an immense de- mand for cedar and other wreathing, and tons of the boughs have been shipped in for the purpose of making these up. There is a decided scarcity of good decorative plants and palms; most of those seen around look as though they had been working hard for years and got tired of their job. Of flowering plants there are none worth mentioning. Various Notes. Walter Armacost, of Ocean Park, has his new greenhouses ready for the glass. He reports business good. In last week 's notes I gave C. E. Lilley's name as a visitor to the city. This was an error. It should have been James H. Willey, manager of the Leed- LOS ANGELES FLOWER MARKET Chas. E. Morton.

Creutz & Co. are handling elegant Spencer sweet peas in all the best col- ors and will be strong on these and carnations for Decoration day. Rose shows were held at Pasadena May 4 and at San Diego May 3 and 4, the former at the Board of Trade rooms, the latter at Mission Cliff park. A. Knopf, of the Eedondo Floral Co., had a number of orders from the Los Angeles high school for decorations. S. Murata has been showing some fine blue Japanese irises, long-stemmed and bright in color. Many tons of cedar and other mate- rial for wreathing are being handled by Tassano Bros., and their big floor space on Hill street looks like a forest these days. Funeral work and decorations form the bulk of the work with Frank Lich- tenberg and these keep all busy. Mrs. Lichtenberg is now ensconced in the new office, and the new basket room at the rear of the store gives plenty of room for display. Mr. Lichtenberg is an artist in store decoration and his efforts along this line for Shriners' week are certainly successful. Among the offerings at the Los An geles Flower Market this week I noted some fine outdoor Easter lilies, grown by Hubert Morton at the Signal Hill place. Tulips and other bulb stock are still in good shape here. The lYeeman-Lewis Co. had a pretty home wedding this week, using Chat- enay roses and large quantities of valley. A. F. Borden is still making records. "The biggest April I ever had," he says, and he knows, too, for he has an exact account of every penny taken in since he started business. Good funeral work and plenty of it is the standby at Morris Goldenson's. The H. N. Gage Co. has big orders on hand for the Fiesta and plenty of stock to fill them. Fine flowers are arriving all the time from the firm's Hollywood and Long Beach ranches, and at the lat- ter place the picking of Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri seed is now in full swing. This firm is now supplying new crop seed in any amounts. The Elks' float now being prepared at the Bos^rie is 9rx30 feet and in the form of a chariot, to which an elk is harsessed. The wheels are clocks, and seven female figures will be on the car. Lavender and white sweet peas and white carnations are the principal flow- ers used. Dieterich & Turner are still busj shipping plants to all sections of the west, from Seattle to San Diego. The 3-inch rose stock here is in grand shape. Among the many interesting things now flowering in the big lath house are Moorea iridifolia and Solandra guttata, or Copa d'Or. H. R. Richards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market.

Felicano, Rossi & <'o. have also offered 1,000 red dahlia bulbs, and it is hoped that still other florists and nurserymen will give the same sort of assistance to the work of improvement.

[OODtlnued from paire 1H.| there are those who cannot agree with such reasoning and who believe that while the increased demand for flowers, if it can be developed — and it can be through the inauguration of a syste- matic campaign — would first of all ben- efit the retailer, it would be beneficial to all business allied with the florists. It would bring increasing sales to the wholesaler, higher prices to the grower, more business to the supply men and a greater output for the manufacturers. Then why should not each one thus benefited share in the work involved to create a greater demand? Vou will find in other lines that the producer ex- Mention The KeTlew when you write.

Overpro- duction always causes gluts in prices and this holds true whether it is in the line of manufacture or in agriculture, floriculture or horticulture. It would really be a difficult matter to try to select any other business so well organized as are the florists of this country to undertake a campaign to bring their wares to the attention of the i)ul)lic. They have the machinery and all that seems wanting is the energy to set it in motion. The national society may be regardeil as its main shaft, with the local socie- ties as its revolving wheels. Once set in action, what a power it could wield! Cooperation between the many local societies scattered throughout the land and a strongly constituted committee of the 8. A. F. to educate the public could accomplish much. See what the cereal foods interests are doing, educat- ing the people that no breakfast is complete without a dish of prepared oats. The brewers are now educating the public that beer is no longer a stimulant but a food, thereby easing the conscience of many and permitting them to partake of it more freely, thus increasing the demand. There is a big field in floriculture to bring the sentiment of the people closer to nature's greatest gift. Work on it' and teach them that in all walks and conditions of life flowers tend to uplift and not to depress. A mother's burden may be lightened with the presence of the sweet flowers. They also win the way to many a girl's heart. Marriage is made more beau- tiful when conducted under a bower of flowers. Grief may be lessened when you surround your dead with flowers. Ask, "What is home without flowers?" Revive the fads. Let no man regard himself well dressed without his bou- tonniere. Make the woman feel not dressed without the corsage bouquet. Argue that no genteel person would adorn himself with fraudulent jewels. Then why with artificial flowers'f Some will contend that all this sounds well theoretically, but that it cannot be put into practice. Properly worked, it can be done. As an illus- tration, 1 have .seen an ordinary sign- board used as the basis for a publicity campaign which was so well conducted as to draw forth some scathing edi- torials in many of the newspapers of the country before the campaign was terminated. But the advertisers accom- plished their purpose. Their wares were heralded in actual news contro- versies and this particular signboard gained national prominence. Heinz has distinguished himself with his "57 va- rieties." Show that flowers have many more uses. Publicity has firmly established our leading American industries and can be made to do likewise for the plant and flower industry if the same methods are pursued which others have followed. A big convention is drawing near, prob- ably the most important in the history of the S. A. F. Suggestions have been solicited for subjects of interest to be brought before the meeting. Here is one of vital interest and importance to retailers, wholesalers, growers and all allied with the business which the S. A. F. represents. Let the machinery be set in motion when we gather in <^'hicago. M. C. Ebel. NEW CROP COCOS SEEDS JUST RECEIVED.

Pedru'K, wife and daughter, who have been spending the winter in Florida, have returned to their home at Pedricktown, N. J. The growing of bulbs of Lilium llar- risii from seeds has advanced far enough on the Pacific coast so that a grower there is able to oft'er bulbs of commer- cial size and in commercial quantities for autumn delivery. The cool weather is prolonging the seed selling season to an unusual degree. The business has been steadier this season than usual, due, many think, to the fact that the weather has been colder than normal most of the time. W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, say the mail order season just closing was not only extrenlely satisfactory but the largest they ever have had, in spite of the handicaps of bad weather and shortage in many important lines.

Experience has demonstrated that with seed sweet corn equally large yields and better matured seed can be obtained from a somewhat thinner stand than would give the largest yield of field corn. The value of seed corn, especially sweet corn, is largely dependent on the way it is gathered and cured. The aver- age American farmer has drifted into such careless methods of handling corn that it is hard for him to recognize and use the care necessary for the pro- duction of good seed. The crop should be harvested as soon as the grain has fully passed into the dough state. The stalks should be cut and put into small shocks, but seed sweet corn can very rarely be well cured in shocks, no mat- ter how small or how carefully they may be set up. As soon after cutting as the stalks are well wilted, which will usually be in from three to six days, the corn should bfe husked and put into the dry- ing cribs. It is important, especially with the short-stalked early sorts, that this be done promptly. If allowed to stand long in the shock the stalks will settle so that the ears are likely to come in contact with the soil and the grain be injured in appearance and viability. Some growers, particularly those of Connecticut and Ohio, do not put the stalks into shocks, but go through and top or remove the part above the ear, and sometimes slip down the husk so as to fully expose the grain to the sun and wind, when it will dry out very rapidly and perfectly and can be gath- ered from the standing stalk. A dis- advantage of this method is that if such stripped corn is exposed to even a slight frost before it is quite dry its viability as well as its vitality is lessened, often entirely destroyed. In the western states there is usually so little rain and such high, dry winds are prevalent during the autumn months that harvesting can often be safely delayed until the com is nearly v drasslnc Manura.

One of the best and safest ways to cure seed corn is that commonly prac- ticed by the New England growers, the corn being spread in open sheds or barns on scaffolds formed of rails or slats so placed as to allow the air to pass freely between them. The corn should be spread very thinly at first — not more than two or three ears deep — or, better still, in a single layer, but it may be piled deeper as it dries out, care being taken not to do this until the corn is so dry that it will not mold. A method requiring fewer special facilities but greater care is to put the corn into rail or slat cribs built quite open and not over twenty to thirty inches wide at the bottom, but wider at the top. In filling these cribs, spread the corn to a depth of from twelve to eighteen inches, and then place a series of slats about two feet apart across the crib and just above though not resting on the corn, being fully supported by the sides of the crib. Fill in twelve to eighteen inches of corn above these slats; then place a second layer of slats in the same way, but so as to break joints with the first layer, and repeat until the crib is full. These slats are to prevent the corn settling together so as to hinder the free access of air. The cobs of sweet corn are not so stiff as those of the field varieties, and if green or partially dried ears are piled without support they will, even in a very narrow crib, settle together so as to prevent thor- ough drying. Seed sweet corn can be cured so as to obtain a fine crop of high viability by any similar method, but it is essen- tial that the work be done promptly, so as to take advantage of bright weather and secure the thorough dry- ing out of the corn before it is exposed to continuous damp or freezing weather. It is rarely possible to secure a good lot of seed of high viability if the work of curing is delayed until after the season when favorable weather conditions can be expected. It is possible to cure corn by arti- ficial heat, but this requires the most skillful use of warmed — not hot — air, kept in constant motion. Even with these precautions there is always a lia- bility of the corn being ruined for seed purposes by mold, rot, or overheating, and for these reasons the method is not recommended. As soon as the corn is perfectly dry it may be shelled, though it will gener- ally keep much better on the cob. In a temperature below freezing, corn, either on the ear or shelled, will seem to be dry when it is not. Before shell- ing, it is therefore well to make a test sample of a quart or more, composed of a few grains from a great number of representative ears. If this, after standing for a day or two in a tempera- ture considerably above freezing, be- comes soft and damp, the shelling should be delayed until the corn is quite dry. Well-cured corn is easily shelled by machine, by flails, or by hand, and the grain should be immediately run through a fanning mill, when it may LAWN GRASS IN BULK AND PACKAGES For Lawn*, Parka and Cemctcrica Minneapolis THE ALBERT DICKINSON CO.

The average retail florist does not realize the great value of continued advertising. He per- haps has tried it occasionally, and not noticed any benefit comparative to the cost. Of course he wouldn't. A single advertisement is something like a boil on the neck — people may see it, but it is so unusual that it ia distasteful. The conclusion is that the florist is stuck with a lot of sur- plus rubbish that he wants to run off. It's the stick-to-it advertising that pays, and if Mr. Florist has pa- tience and some money for a long time investment, he's bound to win. The daily newspaper is the best ad- vertising medium for a retail florist7 Every day, if possible, or at least three times a week. Keep the ads. boiling — change them with the sea- son— make Lent seem like Xmas. As a matter of fact, Lent should not be such a poor flower season, for if a chiefly the codfish aristocracy who celebrate so they can catch up with their butcher bills. Flowers should be a necessity, among educated peo- ple especially, and will probably be some day. The right kind of adver- tising will do more for the uplift of the florist business than anything on earth. There is one thing more — the most important thing — and that is you must have the quality to back up the advertising. This is absolutely essential to success. An advertise- ment is worse than nothing unless it rings true. Don't advertise inferior goods — and it's best not to handle that kind. Of course, in this bus- iness you cannot avoid occasional trouble — the very nature of the bus- iness is such that nothing is abso- lutely sure — but have a good average. That's what counts. Supply the best there is, and advertise your goods in as truthful a manner as you know how. That's the way we have done, and that's why Horseshoe Brand lily and French bulbs are more in de- mand than any other brands — be- cause our advertisements are backed up by the best goods in our line flo- rists have ever known.

It is of the same color and fragrance as the American Beauty, hardy, of strong habit of growth, making shoots of from ten to fifteen feet in one season. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of the original bush. Our plants are from the stock of Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas Co.; they have bloomed with us and we find that the variety is all that the origi- nators claim.

Their approximate aggregate acreage is 224, of which 150 acres are in fruit trees, a total of about 900,000 trees of salable size. "The nurseries of the «tate are, on the whole, in excellent condition. The San Jose scale, the pest worst dreaded by all nurserymen, was not found in a single nursery last sea- flon. Some of the various species of plant lice that infest growing fruit trees were found quite plentifully in a few nurseries. The woolly aphis of the apple is probably the worst species found. This is apparently not at all common, however, and, with proper fumigation of all trees by the nursery- men, there should be none of this louse disseminated with the trees. The green apple aphis, while found in many nur- series, was on the whole scarce. A few species of leaf-infesting mites were commonly found, but in no case was there much damage done by them. Probably the most serious trouble noted in this year's inspection of nurseries was mildew. The season seemed to have been particularly favorable for its development in many places. Good fumigation houses have been built by most of the nursery owners. There are a few who need better equipment for this work. ' ' Certificates were withheld from four nurseries until provision was made for fumigation. Cut out our ads for cinerarias and stevias, as we are completely sold out. — M. S.

Monday there was more than enough stock on hand to supply all demands; after that weather conditions were such that the supply gradually decreased until Thursday, on which day stock was what one would call scarce. Then came Friday, always a good day, and Saturday the Society for the Care of the Sick, a charitable ladies ' aid society, conducted a tag day, for which they used about 50,000 cut flowers; roses, carnations, all kinds of bulbous stock, pansies, in fact anything in cut flowers which put in an appear- ance was used. "While it was not a flower day for the retailers, it certainly cleaned up a lot of stock which would not have been sold otherwise. Various Notes. Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, remarked May 2 that he had not yet begun to move his young carnations, while in former years he had at least half of them out at that date. Vegetation in this locality is away behind time. In only the most favor- able places can one see outdoor tulips in bloom. At the regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Club, May 2, the most in- teresting topic was "The Depreciation on Greenhouses," which was one of the many questions to be answered on the income tax sheet. Some thought it amounted to fifteen per cent, not in- cluding a repair account; others ven- tured to give from five to eight per cent plus a repair account as their basis of figuring. It was agreed to take up this matter more thoroughly at some later meeting, Mrs. August F. Kellner returned from the Waukesha baths last week, where she had sought relief from rheumatism, and claims to be greatly benefited. Amid a great bower of flowers, Capt. E. G. Crosby, the only Milwaukeean who lost his life in the Titanic catas- trophe, was laid to rest in Forest Home cemetery May 6. To judge from reports of those who do landscape gardening, most of the perennials failed to pull through the severe winter just past. The C. C. PoUworth Co. claims to have cleaned up stock completely lasl Thursday for the tag day. The Holton & Hunkel Co. now oper- ates a Eambler auto truck between the Humboldt avenue and Brown Deer greenhouses. Gust Kusch & Co. say that business was fine indeed last week. The Fox Point Floral Co. is, figura- tively speaking, crowded to the roof with bedding stock and the various an- nuals, all of it in first-class shape. At the W. E. Dallwig store, ' ' the man behind the gun" is busy day and night trying to keep up with orders. Currie Bros. Co. and Hunkel 's Seed Store claim that they have more orders than they can handle conveniently, but say they make hay while the sun shines. Jim Matthewson, of Sheboygan, "Wis., was a visitor recently. E. 0. The Milwaukee Florists' Club has voted not to give a flower show this year. The project was considered at a "meeting of the club at the Blatz May 2. The affair was a financial loss last year. ROSE PLANTS rociiinianii Bros. uo.

JULIET, ILLINOIS ^- 80 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ May 9, 1912. NEW ORLEANS. The Market. Business during the last two weeks was fair, taking into consideration the abominabl/k weather we had during that time. Sjjanish iris has finished bloom- ing. 4|ie recent funeral of one of our most prominent citizens called for every one of these useful flowers, which were at that time at the height of their flowering season. The first gladioli are making their appearance and are selling a*» retail at good prices. As a rule, mostly light colored varieties, such as Augusta, America, May, etc., are cultivated here, and the amount of bulbs planted increases from year to year. Sweet peas are doing finely in some localities of the city, while in others the crop is poor, on account of the soaked condition of the soil. All kinds of seasonable flowering plants help to adorn the show windows of the stores and the displays of the market gardeners. The stock is plentiful; it moves slowly at reasonable figures. Outdoor work is greatly handicapped and with many florists the early aster crop will be delayed. Thousands of the aster plants are still waiting to be planted out, together with lots of other plants for the fall and winter season. This year's spring season is one of the worst we have had for a long time, but the florists are cheerful and hope for better weather during the present month. R. E. CANAL DOVES, O. I am just in from inspecting the peo- nies. Th«fy show up at this time nearly every growth with a fine bud. From the present indications they will be ready early; unless a cold spell retards them we expect a majority of the mid- seasoQ sorts to be in for Memorial day. Edulis- Superba, Umbellata Kosea (La France) and Marie Stuart will be in about May 23. Tenuifolia is in bloom; usually about May 12 to 15; season much advanced. California privet was all frozen dead. Many so-called hardy plants were frozen out this winter. ! C. Betscher. CARNATIONS F. DORNER & SONS CO., LA PAYETTE, IND. Mention The Rerlew wben yoa write.

The Societe Eoyale d 'Horticulture de Bruges is arranging an international exhibition to be held August 11 to 18, at the old market place and in the adjoining government buildings and belfry of Bruges. The government and town are assisting largely, and it is said this will assure the success of the enterprise. The Boyal Horticultural Society of Bruges is the oldest in the world, having been founded February 5, 1651, since which time it has without intermission followed and aided in its .work, and shows the evolution of horti- culture until the present day, when it has become one of the important local industries at Bruges. In August the famous market place in Bruges will be transformed into a flower garden sur- rounded by the giant bay trees for which Bruges is so famed, and in the ad- jacent buildings below the belfry, im- mortalized by Longfellow, exhibitors will find spacious halls where they will be able to group their collections of or- chids and palms, new and rare plants, etc., to the best advantage. The increas- ing nnmber of visitors who arrive yearly in August to see "the Venice of the north," with its museums and art galleries and quaint Flemish architec- ture, will find another attraction in this horticultural exhibition. Programs will be supplied and inquiries answered by Ch. Steinmetz, secretary, Bruges, Bel- gium. Ia/E still have several thousand Light Pink and Rose-pink Enchantress cuttings, grown by one of the best) if not the best carnation grower in this part of the country. $20.00 per 1000 PERCY JONES The Wholesale florist 56 E.

HILL CO., RICHMOND, INDIANA '^jy 86 ThcWcckly Florists' Review* May 9, 1912. MR. FULD'S APPEECIATION. The following letter has been received from Maurice Fuld, well known as the gladiolus specialist with the H. F. Michell Co., anent the orfianizatiou of the firm of Chaniberlain & Gage, Gro- ton, Mass.; As a news matter I wish to submit .vo\i here- with the following items. Tlie new tirin Is composed of two such prominent men tliat I feel they ought to receive mention as to tlieir alillity and their previous experiences. L. Merton Gage perhaps has a woiitl-wide reputation on account of his connection with the American Gladiolus Society, whose secretary he has been since its beginning, but even before that time Mr. Gage had been known all over the world as a collector and breeder of gladioli and his liuowledge of the subject is indeed most extensive. He has been growing gladioli for ten years or more. He has studied them even to the point of species and he himself lias bred hybrids which we hope In the future will be disseminated. Mr. Guge was a florist at one time, but on account of ill health gave up liis liuslness and has lived In Orange, Mass., fur a number of years. Montague Chamberlain Is a well known writer on ornithology and lias published several works on the history and language of the eastern tribes of Indians and was at one time connected witli tlie sdentilic school of Harvard University. He is a man of wide business experience and has been for several years (inanclal manager of one of the largest furnishing liouses In Boston. Mr. Chamberlain has only of late become an en- thusiast on the gladiolus, but he was one of the first to respond to tlie call for forming tlie American Gladiolus Society. With the prizes he has offered he has always shown his Inclination to favor the amateur side, in which he is deeply Interested. Commercially, he has grown gladioli now for three years and his first attempt at a catalogue was publislied this spring. Ilie cata- logue itself speaks for accuracy and tlioroughness. He iias an enormous space of land which he can devote to this purpose, but has only so far covered three acres. Mr. Chamberlain bought two years ago about 300 seedlings of E. A. Kunderd and among them he has discovered some wonder- fully choice novelties, .\nierica has added to its list of renowned breeders and hvbridizers, the name of Chamberlain & Gage.

WASHINGTON, D. C. There is a movement on foot in the national capital to have the Society of American Florists pay tribute to those who lost their lives on the ill-fated Titanic. The plans are to have about 1,000 American Beauty roses cast on the waters, May 30, in the vicinity of where the accident occurred. To bring this about it will be necessary to ob- tain the cooperation of the officials of the White Star Line in order to have the flowers carried on the vessel which will be nearest that point on the day in question, and to have them strewn upon the waters by the officials and sail- ors of the boat. It is expected that the delegation to the London flower show will take passage on the ' ' flower boat ' ' and, if the plans go through, will be there to witness this ceremony. A better tribute could not be paid these unfortunates, flower lovers all, and the deed will be one that the so- ciety always can look back upon with pride. The fact that the ceremony is to take place on Memorial day and that florists will be at hand to witness it, seems most fitting to the occasion. William F. Gude, the local represent- ative of the Society of American Flo- rists, is working hard to bring these plans, which are yet in embryo, to a culmination and in his efforts he is receiving the active cooperation of a score of enthusiastic members of the Washington Florists' Club. C. L. L. Thompsonville, Conn. — D. William Brainard and Chester F. Brainard, pro- prietors of the Brainard Floral & Nurs- ery Co., have purchased an adjoining piece of property known as the Beck- with Allen homestead. The purchase includes a residence, with some farm buildings in the rear. The residence will undergo extensive repairs and will be occupied about September 1 by D. Will- iam Brainard, who has sold his former home. The farm buildings will be re- modeled for the use of the firm. ^J^:Ji^'^^ Enfjlish. 3-lneh pots, $4.00 per 100. ^W) INDIVISA. 3-lnch pots. $4.00 per P.'^^'^S'^ ^^- J?°'i«" <^1<"'- White Cloud v«^^-° Supreme.

Construc- tion \vorl\ will be undertaken in a short time and the firm has hopes of being al)le to occupy the building before Sep- tenilier 1. Some handsome specimens of horticul- tural art are to be seen in the gardens of Washington's 400. Particularly well worthy of mention is the garden sur- rounding the home of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey on K street, N. W., which is of old-fashioned design.

Grillbortzer, president of the Florists' Club of Washington, has been granted a license to operate his automo- bile within the District of Columbia. The machine is of the Everett make. The Republic of Argentine lias ap- plied to the United States government for six experts to organize the agricul- tural work of that country on a larger scale. The propagating garden to be established in Buenos Aires will be in cliarge of II. F. Schultz, formerly an expert in the emidoy of the Department of Agriculture. Z. D. Blackistone is using consider- able street car advertising, with good results. The placards are neat and at- tractive and have pictures of various flowers in addition to the ads. This month he is using a card showing a box of American Beauties in their natural colors placed against a tinted back- ground. Plans are being made for a large rose exhibition to l)e given in the new Ma- sonic hall at Brookland, D. C, by the Brookland Citizens' Association. Ef- forts will be made to have the local florists enter exhibits. The object of the association is to further instill a love of flowers and to inspire the ama- teur gardeners to beautify the grounds surrounding their homes. Prizes will be given in the various classes. A musical program has been arranged for each evening and no admission fee will be charged. The exhibition will be held May 21 and 22. W. F. Gude was a guest at the recep- tion tendered by the German societies of Washington to Eepresentative Bar- tholdt, of Milwaukee, and Hon. Cuno Rudolph, one of the commissioners of the District of Columbia. Among the many visitors in town last week were: Elmer Gaehring, of Phil- adelphia, Pa.; Charles Wonderlin, of Camden, N.

Conditions in the cut flower market have been, to say the least, peculiar for the first week in May. There has been almost a shortage of everything all week and no special demand at that, but the growers report that it will not continue long. Eoses shortened up some, but carnations were really scarce and the wholesalers could not nearly take care of the demand. However, there were plenty of flowers if buyers had only taken such things as were on hand. The wholesale houses all seem to be satisfied with things, as it gives them some time for other work when they clean up by noon. Eetail business is nothing to brag about, as trade seems quiet all around. Various Notes. Mrs. E. A. Williams has had a most beautiful store decoration all week, using spring flowers, such as dogwood blossoms. It is the most refreshing thing we have seen for a long time. Pittsburgh, while one of the hardest cities in the country in which to grow flowers on account of the smoke and dust from the mills, takes more pains and spends the money to stand at the head of cities who make flower shows, both inside and out, as our parks will testify too, and there is not the least doubt but that this effort by the city is largely responsible for the love of flowers held by our citizens and shown by cut flower and plant trade in this city. The weather this week has been ideal for the growers to plant out carnations and they have been hard at it. The Zieger Co. is busy just now, as they combine landscape work with their business, and are in the midst of a rush trying to keep ahead of the season. The Blind Floral Co. reports the spring trade as being all one could expect. The E. C. Ludwig Baseball Club is getting into action. Frank Faulk says the only trouble with business is that it keeps him from getting out in his machine this fine weather. Things in the Democratic party in Pennsylvania are bound to be right now, as George Marshall, of the Pitts- burgh Cut Flower Co., is now at Har- risburg. Kichard Forrest, of Washington, Pa., one of the oldest florists in Washington, has the sympathy of his friends in the loss of his wife, who died Saturday, May 4. Besides her husband, she leaves one child, Mrs. Lloyd Swarthout, who is in the retail flower business in Wash- ington, Pa. Hoo-Hoo.

Subscribers are invited to write the editor of the Heating Department, de- scribing their troubles or asking any questions regarding the heating of green- houses, the piping or boiler-room. But please do not ask us to make a choice of apparatus for you. Each boiler adver- tised in The Review is a good boiler, and the advertisers sell them on their merits. BOILEK AND STACK. I wish to build two greenhouses 21 x 160 feet, five feet to the gutter and twelve feet to the ridge, which should average about 60 degrees in the climate of Ohio. Will some one kindly tell me what size boiler will be necessary, using steam heat, and how high the stack should be? J. & R- Any boiler rated at 5,000 feet would be all right. It will take about 4,000 running feet of 1^4 -inch pipe, but I would get a boiler rated at 5,000 feet. A stack two feet in diameter and forty feet high will serve. F. R. YOKma BOILEES. Wc have two fire-box boilers, which will be bricked in, and we wish to con- nect them and run them together as a battery. We want to arrange them so we can run either one independently. How can we make proper connections? In connecting two boilers to one smoke- stack, which is the better way — to run two separate smoke pipes to the stack or connect the two pipes with a Y and enter the stack with one pipe? W. & K. It is not always an easy matter to connect boilers so they will work well. The common way of arranging the smokestack when one is used for two boilers is to set the chimney or stack to one side of the boilers and connect the two by a breeching, i. e., a pipe placed horizontally, into which the gases from both boilers enter, and this is then connected with the chimney. Be- sides this, each boiler should be pro- vided with both steam and water gauges. Yoke the two together at the 10 Hours Without Firing even in severely cold weather, is a common experience with those growers who use the WUks Sdf-redint lot Wata Mtn In the Coldest Weather Wilks Hot Water Boilers Can Be Relied On to keep the temperature even and con- tinuous, making night firing unnecessary.

DETBOIT. The Market. Business has been quite brisk. The weather has been favorable and stock is cleaning up readily. Large shipments of excellent Beauties arrive daily, as do other roses. Carnations have been cleaning up fairly well and bringing better prices. There is a gooii- supply of Spanish iris, miniature gladioli, etc., and the same are selling well. Sweet peas are in good supply and owing to the big demand for corsage purposes this flower cleans up readily. Various Notes. Myer Heller, Bichmond, Ind., was a recent visitor in» Detroit. E. A. Fetters is becoming quite an expert driver of his large touring car. Boxwood trees in ap-stzes and shapes in front of Breitmeyer's store are prov- ing quite an attraction, especially as they are planted into a variety of gar- den pottery. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is in receipt of a letter from the Denver Wholesale Florists' Co. doubling up on its fern order and complimenting them upon the excellent quality of the stock. Harry Breitmeyer is the proud pos- sessor of a new Hupmobile touring car. Michael Bloy is one of the busy men at present, looking after his big plant business. H. S. CLEVELAND. The Market. Conditions have changed on this mar- ket during the last week. Shipping trade has been the heaviest experienced since the holidays. Local trade in a retail way has been only ordinary, the main call for stock coming from sur- rounding towns. Growers throughout the state who grow bedding stock have thrown out their carnations to make room for pot stock, with the result that everybody wants carnations. As everybody doesn't get all he wants, so everybody takes what he can get, which has made the call steady for roses, sweet peas and late bulbous stock. Some growers say their cuts next week will be much larger, owing to the warmer weather. The "handwriting on the wall" says stock will be scarce for Mothers' day, and it is unfortunate at this time that there should be a general shortage, as it will tend to put prices up a trifle higher than they should be for this time of the year. Mothers' day is being advertised by the florists ' committee and it is ex- pected to bring a great demand for stock of all kinds. F. A. F. TO-BAK=INE KILLS BUQS -ASK- B. H. HUNT 131 N.

They look healthy and are full of small cucumbers, but once in a while a plant wilts when the temperature gets to about 80 degrees; not the whole plant at once, but from one to three leaves in a day. "We keep the house at about 60 degrees at night, have the glass shaded and give lots of air. We have to spray them several times a day to keep them from wilting worse. Is there anything we can do to stop it? The beds are on the ground and the soil is nearly all new. The leaves are of extra large size. J. & H. There are many causes for cucumbers wilting and it is hard to say just what causes the wilt in this particular case. The temperature is not too high; 65 de- grees at night would be better than 60 degrees. Shade is not necessary except in the hottest weather and then it should not be heavy. Full-grown plants require heavy watering once every day and sometimes twice a day. The soil must be kept moist, or they will wUt. Sometimes it looks wet on top and is dry farther down. There is a disease called bacterial wilt disease of cucum- bers, but it is rare and no remedy has been found for it, other than to clean out thoroughly and start over again. Insects at the roots or main stalk, just below the soil, are the common causes of cucumbers wilting, and it is often the case that the grower thinks it a disease and never finds out differently. In this case it is highly probable that it is either the sciara or the striped cu- cumber beetle which is causing the plants to wilt. The striped beetle lays eggs at the base of the plant. The yoting worms hatching out of these are the cause of the wilting. They eat into the main root and can be found in there by splitting the root of an affected plant. The plants wither for a few days and finally die. Tobacco dust will help to keep the old bugs from laying eggs at the base of the plant. H. O.

The annual observance of Mothers' day is now quite an established feature in Canada's history, and florists gener- ally are having a busy week prior to Sunday, May 12, the day on which the anniversary is held this year. Carnations are somewhat scarce, now that throwing out has begun, butjpses are arriving in great quantities and their quality leaves nothing to be de- sired. The prices were never lower for this stock so early in the season; $6, $4 and $2 are the ruling rates for the cur- rent week for first, second and third grades, respectively. Bulbous stock, after an exceptionally good season, is about played out, noth- ing but a few late tulips being brought in for sale. Sweet peas, both at R. Jennings' greenhouses and at the Dale Estate, are of much better quality than those pro- duced during the last two or three years, and the demand for these flow- ers has grown enormously this season. Many florists who would order them last year by the hundred now need them by the thousand, and their popularity seems largely increased by the fact that they are "all the rage in England" at present. Work at the Dale Estate proceeds apace. All the old, small houses have been torn down, to be replaced by three houses 25x850 feet. Thousands of tons of soil have to be dug up and carted in to level up, and, with the emptying of houses and replanting for next season, this establishment appears to be one of the busiest hives of industry in the neighborhood.

Some first-class roses are to be had. Beauties are A-No. 1. Carnations are a trifle short and the indications are that there will not be enough white to go around for Mothers ' day. Sweet peas are plen- tiful, with a fair demand. Quantities of outdoor bulb stock are available. Easter and calla lilies have a fair sale. The outlook for the plant business is good this year, judging from the or- ders already booked. While the season has been backward, some first-class ge- raniums and other stock are to be seen. Various Notes. J. A; Peterson, of Cincinnati, spent a day with the trade last week. He is going to leave for Europe next week and expects to attend the flower show in London. The Eoepke-Rieman Co. has an excel- lent stock of seedling cyclamens, which are finding ready sale. The Bertermann Bros. Co. has the sidewalk lined with box trees, which are selling well. The Pahud Floral Co. has a fine lot of bedding stock this year. Charles Pahud says they have booked more orders up to date than they did last year in the same time. H. L. W. UEBANA, ILL. In preparing plans for the enlarge- ment of the campus of the University of Illinois, it has been found necessary to move the horticultural buildings to a new piece of land. This new site is directly across the campus from the old horticultural grounds and is to be used for the various interests of the horti- cultural department. This will necessi- tate the moving of the present horticul- tural building and the floricultural ex- perimental greenhouses, so as to vacate the present grounds which are to be used as drill grounds. At a recent meeting of the board of trustees, however, it was decided to let the present experimental greenhouses stand for a year or two and so the moving will not interfere with the ex- perimental work. They also appro- priated the money for the new vege- table and plant breeding range and for the floricultural show houses. These are to be located upon the new site. Work upon these houses will be begun as soon as bids are received and the contracts let. The present experimental greenhouses will be moved within the next year or two.
