ADVICE ON BOILERS f • ■■ Do you want true heating values for your money? Many florists, to their sorrow, have made the mistake of buying: cast iron boilers, which; because of their ratings,' appeared to be cheaper than the Kroeschell boiler. • The extravagant ratings of caist iron boiler's are misleading, and during the past cold winter have been the cause of much disappointment and serious trouble to many growers. The fuel waste is enormous w^hen cast iron boilers are used for commercial purposes, such as greenhouse heating, etc., etc. Do not make a mistake when selecting your new boiler; get a Kroeschell boiler and you will never be disappointed. THE KROESCHELL GREENHOUSE Hera li ttM boOer that Is makinc ttia wonderful fraenbooie beatliw raoord intbe world. FlorUto "and «»rdeneit who have used other makes an constantly clTlng the Kroeschell Oraenbouse Boiler the highest praise. 10.7 8 •.000 ¥&m leet of tlMS was eaoipped with the Kroeschell Boiler dur- ing the past flve years.

W<' purchased of you this sprln!; a Xo. 6 Kroeschell Boiler, which you guaranteed would take tlif "place of three cast iron boilers. Well, the whole thing In a nutshell Is this — your word Is as good as gold. Night before last we had « severe storm of snow and sleet and a very high wind; we had not the least bit of trouble. We flred the last at 10 p. m.. November 24. and the next morning at 7 o'clock we looked at the houses and found It only 1 degree less than when we flred the last coal. 9 hours earlier. If this isn't magnificent work anil a good test, we would be pleased to hear from anyone else that could furnish a better boiler. We know if parties wishing a boiler would get one from you they never would try any other. We think in 5 vears' running of this boiler we win have the price saved in the difference in our coal bill. Wish- ing you the best of success, we remain. Very truly yours. Adam l.aub & Son, Hughsonvllle, N. Y. Kroeschell Boiler Better than Tubular Boilers or Cast Iron Boilers. Washington Court House. Ohio. Have used upright holler, tubular boiler and cast Iron boiler. The Kroeschell Boiler heats up better and easier than any other boiler we have ever had anything to do with. If we ever buy another, it will certainly be a Kroeschell. Very truly yours, Poole & I'urllant. Try the Kroeschell First — It's Ahead of Them All. I have had eight or ten other types of boilers. The Kroeschell is the best I have ever used. Your boiler heats the water very quickly — almost as fast as steam. Yours very truly, 11. K. Lewis. Dorothy, N. .1. Immense Self-cleaning: Heating: Surface Longest Fire Travel Perfect Combustion Free Circulation Thin Waterways Safety Durability Economy Kroeschell Boiler Ratings are Guaranteed The Kroeschell boiler will develop more heat per pound of coal consumed than any other boiler on the market and we DO prove it.

CAST IRON WHAT THE USERS SAY Cast Iron Boilers Cause Freeze- out — Kroeschell Boilers No Worry, I bought a No. 2 boiler In 1902. Takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass — would tpke care of 2000 more. I have had a cast iron boiler, but it broke down twice in four years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down Dec. 29, 1904, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 and one No. 6 Kroeschell boilers and do not worry about their breaking down. Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, la. The Kroeschell Does Our Work Easier than Cast Iron Boilers and Saves 20% to 25% Fuel. The No, 4 boiler Is heating 10,000 sq. ft. of glass— It would take care of 13,000 sq. ft. easy. Have no trenble to keep temper- ature of 50 and 60 degrees In coldest weather. The holler has given perfect satisfaction. We bad two cast iron boilers, one rated for 1200 ft. of pipe and one rated for 1500 ft. These hollers never did the work at their best and when the greenhouses were new. According to our experience with yours, we will save 20 to 25 per cent of fuel. Hlld Bros., Lake Forest, 111. Bought a Kroeschell First, I wnnt to tell you how well your No. 2 Kroeschell Boiler has taken care of my green- houses this winter with an outside tempera- ture of 18 degrees below zero. I have never had to get up nights, and In some of the very coldest weather I have found the temperature In the greenhouses only 2 degrees lower than when 1 left It at night. F. E. Selkregg, North East, Pa. Send f&r our Catalogue. Cast Iron Boilers Waste Fuel. I had a cast iron 8 section holler before, but was afraid it would crack to pieces. The Kroeschell Boiler is certainly a fuel saver. My coal bill to heat 5000 sq. ft. of glass sur- face with your holler Is less than last winter's coal bin, when I only had 2050 sq. ft. of glass heated with the 8 section east Iron boiler. Your holler burns any kind of fuel. I would not have another boiler than a Kroeschell. and win recommend It whenever I get a chance. Edward Wlttamer. JoHet, in. KROESCHELL BROS. CO., 444 W.

F' : The Weekly Florists' Review. May 16, 1912. Decoration Day is More Important TO THE FLORIST EVERY YEAR For several years, each Decoration (lay has been more generally observed by the public than the previous one had been. What finer tribute can the living pay to the memory of their de- parted than to place flowers upon their graves on this day? The last year or two almost everyone has come to see that this is one day of all the year when sentiment conies before business. The general observance of the day has caused an increased demand for flow- ers. One good feature of it is that any kind of flowers may be used, and it is left to the florist to decide what flowers he will push the sale of. The public likes peonies. They are big and » showy and considering their size, even the higher priced ones are cheaper than other flowers. They are the most satis- factory flower for the retail florist to handle for many reasons. In the first place, they please your customers; an- other thing, you can make more money on them than you can on anything else. They don't go to sleep and the price don't jump up just because it is a holiday. Of course there are peonies and peonies; good ones and poor ones, and you must use judgment and con- sider well whom you order them from. We will have a big stock of good peo- nies that will please you and your cus- tomers. They will cost you $4.00, $6.00 and $8.00 per hundred. At holi- day times it is especially well to re- member that we are the people who are trying to keep you in business instead of trying to put you out of it.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 15 MEMORIAL DAY; x IT'S OPPORTUNITIES C A MEMOBIAL DAT LEADER. Opportunity Is Knocking Now. Given a few baskets of the now omnipresent magnolia leaves, a few cut flowers, it matters little what, perhaps a little ribbon and chiffon, a stock of wire frames, moss and foil, any florist who is where the people can get to him can play up a Memorial day leader that will not only make a good profit itself but which will pull a lot of other trade and prove of lasting advertising value. The popular priced wreath for Memo- rial day is $2.50. Some feature it at $2, but better get the extra 50 cents. You will sell practically as many and you can do enough better work to make it worth while, for it's a truism that "quality is remembered long after pricQ is forgotten. ' ' You only do your- self harm by pushing a leader that isn 't good enough to give satisfaction. People Want Made Up Stock. One of the handicaps on Memorial day business was that people did not know what to do with loose cut flow- ers when they had reached the ceme- tery with them — it wasn't satisfying merely to leave them on a grave. The spiked vase helped some — even a great deal — for since it came into use the number of cemetery bouquets sold by the average florist has increased many fold. But what the people really like to buy for May 30 is a spray or a wreath. All that needs be done in the average well-to-do community is to let the flower buyers know that^ Me- morial day design may be had at small cost and the demand will keep all hands on the jump. The spray is a little more difficult proposition — it can not be made in advance in quantity. The wreath's the thing. Make it of the prepared magnolia leaves and any number can be made up at leisure, ready for trim- ming just before delivery. There is record of one florist who sold over 600 last year — made them in advance, trimmed them during the night of May 29 and delivered them in the morning. A few days ago he ordered 200 baskets of magnolia leaves, green and brown, to do the stunt over again. Advertising Is Important. While preparation for the demand is important, there is no use whatever getting ready for the call if nothing is done to make certain that there is a call. The advertising is the basis for the whole thing and therefore just as essential as preparing the stock. - The florist best able to work up the Memorial day wreath business is the one whose- downtown store is on the main street, where he is accessible to practically the whole city. He can use the daily newspapers to best advantage. The copy should be written with care —there is more in planning the adver- tisement than most florists realize. It is not possible to tell what an adver- tisement should say unless one has a full knowledge of all the conditions. Even then it isn't easy, but it never- theless is possible to put words together in such a fashion that a large per- centage of the people who read them will follow the suggestion the adver- tisement carries. People who read them — ^note that. After having got your selling points into shape on paper you must see to it that they are so {)rinted as to be read. In some papers display is more important than in others — it largely depends on whether or not the readers of the paper have been educated to read the advertise- Memorial Day Wreaths Tuesday next is "Decoration Day" and millions of floral tributes will be placed on the graves of loved ones who have gone before. With this great day of homage in mind, Penn's famous floral designers have produced the most beautiful ''Memorial Day Wreaths" one could wish for.

Position is important in some papers and not in others — all the live stuff in some papers is on one or two pages, while in others it runs all the way through. The occasional adver- tiser should not hesitate to pay the price to be with the live matter. A good cut will save many words, as well as serve to draw the eye to the space. For the store located off to one side of town or near the cemetery the news- paper is not so good a proposition, as only a part of its readers can reach the store unless it is by telephone. "We are as near to you as your telephone ' ' is the phrase one successful retailer, located to one side of town, uses in all his advertising. If a store has a local trade only, usually mailing cards are excellent. One store of this class has 2,500 more or less regular customers. They are all in a bunch. Stuffing the mail boxes is easy, but usually the maid throws out the florist's neat card with the butchers' and grocers' dodgers and the printed matter is wasted. Mailing the card in an envelope, especially if Preparations for Memorial Day should be made at once — Flowers or plants should be ordered at once, as the florists will find it very difficult to obtain sufficient supply to satisfy the- demand, this season. Early orders will receive best attention, and, of course, orders over our ))honc will be most satisfactorily filled. B. C.

Study your special conditions and plan your advertising accordingly. Making Up Stock. But to go back to the wreaths. Most of those who now do a big business in Memorial day wreaths have begun with small sales and worked up. With the benefit of their experience others can work up faster, but it is not well to go too strong. True, if the wreaths do not sell as well as expected they will keep indefinitely in a cool, not too dry place and can be sold for funerals. Only the special-sales wreaths probably will not be quite so good as you make when you are getting more money. Quite likely you carry several wreaths of magnolia leaves always in stock, ready made, to meet sudden calls. Perhaps you make three or four 18-inch wreaths from a basket of leaves. That makes them good and full. By making them not quite so wide and with the leaves not overlapped so much you can get five, six, seven or even eight 16-inch wreaths from a basket of good stock. The 16-inch wreath will be about right for a Memorial day sale. A cheaper proposition for those who feel that their trade will not respond to an offer of a good wreath at $2.50 is a wreath made on wire or rattan, just as is the Christmas holly wreath. You can make these up, about 15-inch wreaths, at a cost that will permit sell- ing the plain magnolia wreath as low as 75 cents, or even 50 cents, or you can add cycas leaves, ribbon, flowers, etc., to make the selling price anything you please. So great has the demand be- come for these wreaths that the lead- ing supply houses now make them in quantity for the Memorial day trade, in a dozen different styles, something to suit every taste and condition. Make up as many as you think you can sell. Trim a few with flowers — several kinds — and put some ribbon on some. Use these in the store and win- dow the week before May 30. In the center of the window have a wreath in a box, with the cover off and the paper that lines the box thrown back^ just as though one were about to lift the wreath out. Have a neatly lettered card to tell how you' deliver these wreaths on the morning of ieTemorial day at the special price. Everybody's Day. Avoid one common mistake. Don't show an old soldier in your ad, and don't refer to decorating soldiers'" graves. Instead let it be understood that the significance of the day has changed. Decoration day once was the d£|y the G. A. R. decorated soldiers' graves — now Memorial day is the day everybody takes flowers to the graves of the loved ones. The broader observ- ance makes all the difference in the^ world to the florists. THE PEONY WBEATH. Until the magnolia leaves took such a strong hold on the trade there was nothing to really compete with galax as material for Memorial day wreaths. While the galax has been pushed back to- second place as material for the body of wreaths, no flower has been able to crowd the peony, most showy of Memo- rial day blooms, and greater quantities will no doubt be used this season than last, for the popular appreciation of th» flower is waxing year by year. The illustration on page 17 shows one of the better class of Memorial day wreaths, made of bronze galax and trimmed principally with peonies. Of course this was a big wreath — no or- dinary one would have permitted the use of anything like the number of big, showy blooms. The Sprengeri used among the peonies served to lighten the effect, and the use of valley on the RJ&MEMBER OIJR1t[ER0ES!

The Stock and the Prices. While not making as much business for the first-rate stores as Easter or Christmas, the Memorial day trade is still a considerable addition to the yearly turnover and is well worth tak- ing a little trouble to secure. For the retailer with a little glass, who grows -a few bedding and similar plants. Me- morial day is the best day of the whole year, as there is always considerable de- mand for plants for cemetery use and bedding out in home gardens. It is a day to stock up on plenty of showy, cheap flowers, rather than the more expensive grades and varie- ties, and it is of great assistance to be able to get plenty of peonies, though these are not always as plentiful as could be desired and at the time of writing it is impossible to say whether this flower, which is so popular for the occasion, will be on time. In the east, north and middle west it is a calamity when the peony fails to hit the market for May 30, for while there are shrubs and other things in flower, yet nothing can fill its place. In the south peonies are not nearly so much grown and it matters little, as there is so much other stock always in flower at this time. To Suit the Size of the Purse. Whatever is used or offered for sale, there must be plenty of it. Customers with only a few dollars to spend want to take their part in honoring the mem- ory of those "broke in the wars" and, further, to keep green the memory of more recently departed friends. These must not be turned away by high prices, fdr the occasion is the best in^the whole year to familiarize the great general public with flowers. Too often at Christmas and Easter those with slim purses enter flower stores and leave them vowing never to return if they can possibly help it. It is not always 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review. May 16, 1912. the retailer's fault, by /liny means. He is charged a high price by his grower or commission man, often for second- ratp stock, and has to demand hij prices to come out even. But here « the chance to get the public confidence and to show the people that all florists are not hold-up men. Some of the Seasonable Flowers. Among the finest Memorial day flow- ers, outside of peonies, are the irises and daffodils. Of the former the Span- ish and English varieties stand out prominently, as they are cheap, yet showy and effective, while nothing con- trasts so finely with laurel and similar decorative material as good yellow daf- fodils. "~^n the south the outdoor car- nations almost take the place of peo- nies, while tulips and other bulbous stock are plentiful and cheap. Here, again, outdoor roses form a great stand- by, and while there may not be much in it for the grower when good Ulrich Bri^nners and Cochets sell for a cent or less, yet it gives the retaUer a good chance ito stock up on flowers that will give every satisfaction to his customers. Where Argument May Be Wasted. It is a great mistake to stock up on plants not showing flowers. While such plants are undoubtedly far better for bedding out or for planting in ceme- tery vases, people will not buy a pansy, a geranium, a salvia, or, in short, any kin^ of a plant, unless they can see it in bloom. Betailers who are also culti- vators may talk as much as they please and endeavor to show their patrons what is best for the future display they are trying to make, but it is useless. The common people, as the great Amer- ican public is so generally called, are as a rule about as easy to argue with as a baby in arms. It is easier, more Honoring the Noted Dead. emoriai -day ii^ a most fitting time show portraits, in laurel frames, of ur illustrious past presidents, and such patriotism is always well advised. It can offend no one, nor can any fault be found with it, for respect can be shown to the honored dead without fear of reproach, for they are beyond the reach of politics or other passing whims. The detail work of store and of&ce arrangement, delivery and other things is practically the same as for all other special occasions, and there is no need to go over the same ground so recently covered for Easter. DESIGNS FOB MEMOBIAL DAY. Some Camping Scenes. Incident to the spirit of the day are many emblems which, when represented in flowers or combined with them, ex- press the finer sentiments which. were woven through the great struggle. Were we "tenting tonight on the old camp ground, ' ' we would • imagine a stack of . rusty guns, half hidden by overgrowing rose briers and ferns. Ta express our gratification that the hor- rors of war are long p9.st, we would mount a dove on the stack and place in its beak the peerless colors of free- dom. This is a good design for win- dow, memorial meeting or cemetery. Eor another camping scene, fill your window with bedding plants in bright, harmonious colors and erect a chiffon tent, and beside it a stack of guns. In the crotch set a soldier's cap filled with flowers, as if it were a basket. An Artillery Wagon. An artillery wagon or mounted gun, all in flowers, is a more imposing de- Plant Room of the Rosebud Greenhouses, Newton, Kan. profitable, and better from all points of view, to let customers have their own way. Florists are not philanthropists or educators of the public, any more than people in any other line of busi- ness, no matter what our convention orators may say, and it is better to show and to sell what the public de- mands than to keep what we, think it ought to want. sign for the same purpose. Make the wheels of some one color, all alike. Cheap flowers will do, if they are only solid enough to make a distinct out- line and a smooth surface. Work out as is done for a broken wheel, indicat- ing the spokes and hubs distinctly. If the whole wagon is to be made, have the ammunition box, axles and stock of one color, contrasting with the / wheels. Work out the gun solidly and undecorated. If the ammunition box is large enough, decorate with a small flag on the side, preferably of flowers, or with the letters " U. S. " The piece should be as large as the window will permit and should be the sole exhibit, unless it be a few blooming plants grouped closely^ with the ppts hi?lden. A Miniature Monitor. Maybe a miniature Monitor won't bring half the town to your window! Make the "raft" of pansies — yellow and bronze for the deck floor and pur- ple on the, edges of the shallow sides. Make the "cheese-box" solid "with white carnations or tHeir like, and the' smokestack of darker pansies. Don't forget the flags, fore and aft and on the tilrret. Make this to occupy the- whole window. Among other designs for the same purpose is a scroll in vertical stripes,, red, white and blue, the stripes fol- lowing the roll above and below; about the center set in a picture of Abraham Lincoln, with the date of th« emanci- pation proclamation. Illustrating War Songs. Or you might make a plain scroll in scarlet, blue or lyhite, with an in- scription from the chorus of the "Bat- tle Hymn of the Bepublic," set in a window of low growing plants of a contrasting color. Or you might have a landscape scene representing ." March- ing Through Georgia" — a cabin over- shadowed by groups of jasmine and roses, a dusty road, a company of tin soldiers approaching, etc.; you know the rest. So much for special designs; now for ^decorating things patriotic — a flag- staff, for instance. Bank about the^ base a dignified group of palms, lily plants, ribbon grass and Crimson Bam- blers. Train the ramblers high onto the pole. To the eyelets of the flag attach several garlands or streamers of bright flowers, which will rise with the flag and wave with it in the breeze. Decorating Autos or Floats. For the decoration of an auto or float for the parade: Canopy or umbrella top of magnolia leaves, with streamer* of flower-laden smilax sprays and flag ribbon; bow at top or hung from ends of the ribs; float proper, or box of vehicle, of lilacs; front of snowballs; wheels of smilax. Another: Let the center of the float be occupied by a large floral urn in pansies or white carnations. Fill the urn with American Beauties or palm leaves. Attached to the handles by ribbon streamers are groups of small baskets filled with flowers, which are- to be removed and used for decorating when the services are over. Branches of flowering almond, lilac or syringa might also be placed in the urn. At any rate, these flowers should be of contrasting color to that of the urn. To Be Oast on the Waters. ' Memorials to sailors and those lost at sea, consisting of flowers to be cast on the waters, are prepared best in the form of garlands or wreaths. Make the garlands several yards long, of smilax, asparagus, myrtle or other light vine. For the more elaborate ones tie several garlands together, crossed at the center of each. Finish the end» Mat 16, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 19 Establishment of A. L. Glaser, Dubuque, Iowa, with a tassel of the green or of small flowers. The brilliant hued flowers of one color will make the most striking effect at a distance. Make the wreaths of long, thick garlands, with the ends tied together and a stiff wire drawn spirally through the under part. Use large fiber ribbon ties and bows. The garlands and wreaths are best suited to the memory of one person, while quantities of loose flowers, thrown on the water, best symbolize a general memorial. Canopies for Cemetery Lots. Since Memorial day is no longer de- voted entirely to the dead of the army and navy, but is celebrated in memory of all our dead, we shall be called upon to get up attractive arrangements for cemetery lots, vault doors and new graves. For a lot decoration try a rustic canopy of poles outlined with hanging baskets, hung low at the cor- ners and high between. Carpet the ground space with pansy plants or marguerites. Or use a large umbrella ^ch as has already been suggested for the procession float. Another plan for the same kind of a decoration is like this: Select a wide framed wreath, five or six feet in diam- eter. Cover the bottom of the piece with green. Fill the top and outside edge with flowers, more firmly inserted in the moss than is usually done. Out- line the lower outside edge with long, thin streamers of ribbon, small flowers and sprays of green, making a light shower effect. Turn the wreath upside down and mount it on vertical supports six feet or so high. Place over the grave or in the cemetery lot. These things can all be seen from a distance, which is quite an inducement for their use for Memorial day purposes. For Qraves and Vaults. For a grave cover make a frameless casket blanket, edged with light sprays of green and small flowers. Make the center fairly heavy and scatter toward the edges. For a new grave an inex- pensive cover may be made all of smilax, laid in diagonally crossed rows, wired in the corners as they lie. Eoll together and wrap. For vault doors: A loose crescent wreath of cured foliage as a foundation and a large double spray of wired roses or peonies; tie with a puflfy cluster of bows and hang from that point. From the crescent side hang a light shower of small flowers and green. G. B. THE PEONIES ABE COMING. The peony is the special Memorial day flower, the one that comes in just in time to meet the great extra demand at that day that has sprung up since Memorial day has come to be observed by the general public as well as the veterans of "the late unpleasantness." Also, the peony is a much finer flower than it was in the olden times and it makes quite the biggest show that one can get for his money. Consequently the peony has become an exceedingly important flower for Memorial day. Most of the reports have been to the effect that climatic conditions since the last blooming season had been such that the peony crop this year would be light, especially for Memorial day. But the acreage now is immense and only a partial crop means a big sup- ply, so the principal question is as to the earliness, or lateness, of the season — what part of the season's cut will be in time for May 30? Peonies began to move to northern markets from the south about May 6. About the same time a warm wave swept over the country. Where for weeks the tem- perature had been below normal, it went to the other extreme. It made the peonies jump. Unless cool weather re- turns, fields far north will be ready for cutting to begin before the end of May. There will be no shortage. Every- body can sell with confidence in their ability to fill the orders. aiiASEB'S PLACE. One of the widely known florists at Dubuque, la., is A. L. Glaser, and those who know the man but not the place will be interested in the accompanying illustration, which shows the street front of his establishment, with his new motor car standing at the curb. Mr. Glaser was the first florist at Dubuque to adopt motor delivery. He says he finds it a good advertisement as well as niaking possible quicker deliveries and considerably extending the radius of operations. Plant trade with him is especially heavy this season and the car ia~doing the work for both store and greenhouses. A EANSAS ROSEBUD. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph made just before Easter in the plant room of the Eosebud Greenhouse at Newton, Kan. The proprietors of the Eosebud Co., which does business at 429 to 435 West Seventh street, are Cora A. Hurst and Mae E. Jones. Information is not fur- nished as to whose rosebud it is in the picture, but the rosebud and not the excellent lilies evidently furnished the reason for the picture. BIO MONEY IN PEAS. Last October I planted seventy-five sweet pea seeds, and as soon as my mums were out I took the peas out of the pots and set them along the edge of the bench. After February 1 I potted seventy-five more seeds and set them out on the opposite side of the bench. I began cutting about January 1 on the first lot. Up to the present time I have taken $88.46 off them, and the last crop will run to June 1. Of course, some of the seeds did not grow; ^besides, I have given away hundreds of flowers. How does this compare with others? I never grew sweet peas before. A. L. Merriman. Fort Atkinson, Wis. 20 ThcWcckly Florists^ Review. Mat 16, 1912. ^ •SL THE RETAIL FLORIST... NATX7EAL DESIONINO. In Contrast with Conventional. Having inquired into the source of conventional designing, it is in order to make a few observations on what is the basis of all artistic schemes — natural de- signing. I have said observations, for at best one can only skirt about and touch a few places in so vast a subject. Where to get pointers from natural de- sign, what to select, how and where to use them, is our present purpose. •Natural designing, in contrast with conventional, is never repeated exactly, though in general plan it is. Two oak leaves or two roses on the same plant never measure up just the same, and the pose of the branch, the graceful bend of the stem, the swing of the vine, the free and easy spray of bloom, are ever new. To these designs we owe, or ought to owe, our suggestions for the decorations of buildings where there is plenty of room for something like the atmospheric and light effects of outdoors, for . hand bouquets, wedding bunches, corsages anq table centerpieces, funeral sprays and baskets. In these designs we have the minimum of conventional form in ar- rangements. Getting Hints from Nature. Then let us glance about for a place for this idea, a plan for that design, catching up suggestions by the roadside, in the woods and on the water's edge; a shape for a casket spray; a group of branches for an armful bunch; a clump of trees that shows you a plan for the base of a standing piece; a bunch of ferns growing around a stump that will make a design for a plant basket; a few boughs of a flowering shrub which draw together and make a study for a basket handle. Observe as well as see these things as you go along. Adapt the grouping, the lines and the color of these natural objects to the ma- terials at hand in your shop. For ex- ample, the tall shrub branches may mean long-stemmed roses when it comes to decorating the basket handle, and the clump of trees may be changed to a group of snapdragons and lilies by the time you are ready to finish the base of a standing piece. But you may use the long group of lines just the same. How to Imitate Nature. A group of two or three wild plants, consisting of a clump of grass and a patch of dandelions, backed by a tall thistle, furnishes a scheme of lines and proportions capable of expansion for a mantel decoration in which you might employ a thick Pteris serrulata, a patch of violet plants, with plenty of cut vio- lets added, and a tall cineraria or spi- raea, or two set together. A fence corner that has escaped the mower is an ideal design for a show win- dow. A vine trailing over a tree trunk invites you to consider the copying of it for a graceful pillar decoration. The fashion of the tree boughs, as they meet over a trail through the woods, shows /bur discriminating eye how to arrange a bridal canopy. Combining the Exact and the Vague. Some designs (this is in the widest sense of the word) owe their beauty to their exactness and clearness of outline, their perfection of mechanical finish; others owe their beauty to their dreamy and vague outlines. Ordinarily we find the former in conventional designs, as, for example, a ball, and the latter in the wilder examples of natural design, as the delicacy and mist of a spray of Gypsophila paniculata. Yet, upon close examination, both will be found to pos- sess symmetry, balance and unity of de- sign. A question that will occur to a thinker and observer will be: To what extent, if at all, are these two opposite elements combined in natural design f And am I to try the experiment of such combi- nation in my designing; or, in other words, can I bring into harmonious ef- fect the ball and the gypsophilat Have you ever seen a fallen tree trunk half hidden by brier bushes and ferns, or a heavy, dark wave breaking into a shower of foamf That is an emphatic "Yes." Hang the ball emerging from a mist of gypsophila. On the same prin- ciple, make a dainty casket cover of valley and break into its filmy depths with a solid pillow, sinking one corner to the vanishing point in the soft cover of valley. Like a Cloud and a Bit of Sky. Make the wreath part of a cascade wreath comparatively heavy, but as it approaches the lower front edge begin to scatter and loosen. In the lower front edge of the frame plant as many blooming lobelia vines as the space will hold, and what will make a heavy shower of blue falling over a base of Easter lilies. Lighten the blue shower spar- ingly with some long sprays of Gyp- sophila paniculata, brought through the blue shower from the back of the lower frame, so that no stems appear and the panicles seem to fioat in the air. You will have a picture of cloud and a bit of blue sky. Then, again, does a heavy, rich piece always need a light touch? You have seen a magnificent oak tree standing apart, a king of his kind, untouched by the lightest breath of bloom spray or cloud — but, stretching in background and foreground, a soft turf carpet. ^ G. B. THE SOHILLEB CAB. Schiller the Florist, Chicago, is so well pleased with the automobile for delivery purposes that the purchase of a second car is under consideration. George Asmus, the manager of the store, says that for speed the car is invaluable, both for trips to the mar- ket and for deliveries. Herman Schiller is the man directly in ch^;rge of this part of the business. He says that the car easily does the work of two or pos- sibly three teams. The secret of econ- omy was at first thought to lie in keeping the car always on the move, but it was found that tire troubles were the great drawback. As he says, they were buying inner tubes and casings "to beat the band" until their attention was attracted to one of the substitutes for air. Since then they have had no trouble with tires and the car has been run with economy. MOTHERS' DAY. There are no two ways about it — ^the Mothers' day demand must be turnecT to flowers. Not white carnations — ^just flowers. In the few years of its observance Mothers' day has jumped to be one of the important flower days. Big last year, the demand last week was far Delivery Gir Operated by Schiller the Florist, Chicago. May 16, 1912. The Weekly Florists' Review. 21 ahead of previous records. At the same rate of development another season Will see so big a call that it will be out of the question to handle the orders unless they are turned to include a general line of stock. It is up to the retailers to push other flowers than carnations, other colors than white. They can't get their orders filled for white carnations. Not if the weather is good. In the big wholesale markets white carnations were not to be had May 10 and 11. Of course a few people got their orders filled, at least in pait, but 'there were nowhere near enough to go around. Any wholesaler could have sold two, three, many times the num- ber that were available. The only limit to price was the consensus of opinion that in May altitudinous figures are uncalled for. When telegrams by the dozens call for nothing but white car- nations in thousand lots and the whole- salers are answering, "No more white carnations; plenty of everything else," it indicates a condition not favorable for retailer, wholesaler or grower, and one that ought not to be difilcult to change. Indeed, the shortage of white carnations this year turned a good part of the demand, at the last moment, to other flowers. Ketailers who found they could not get their orders filled wired later for other stock — but it was too late for best results. More flowers could have been well sold and every- body better satisfied if the orders in the beginning had called for roses and a general line of stock. Next year let everybody push every- thing but white carnations for Mothers ' day — the white carnations will take care of themselves. Then the Mothers' day observance will grow faster than ever. A RETAILER'S VIEW. Just a word in regard to Mothers' day. It by far surpassed anything that we anticipated. We made a special win- dow decoration for the occasion and placed several ads in our local paper. Everybody seemed to enter into the spirit of it and we had many words of praise for our efforts in helping to carry out the day. Although white carnations were decidedly scarce and high, we were abundantly supplied with white roses and colored carnations. As it looks to us, Mothers' day will certainly meet with grand success if flowers can be kept down to a normal price; that is, if the growers will give the retailers a fair show. As it seems now, the retailer puts his time ,and money into talking up and advertising Mothers ' day, while the grower, without any extra expense, holds back his stock for the highest possible price. As a re- sult, the people cannot afford to buy flowers, and go without, and Mothers' day will soon be a thing of the past. Our motto is, "Be with the People and the People will be with you." W. W. Powers. 1 A $200 FUNERAL BASKET. Among the designs sent to the funeral of Senator Eobert L. Taylor, at Knox- ville, Tenn., as stated in The Review of May 9, was a large basket made by Charles L. Baum, of Knoxville. A pic- ture of the whole collection of funeral pieces, as arranged in the room where the body lay in state, appeared in The Two-Hundred-Dollar Basket Arraa£ed by C. L. Baum. Review of that date. A clearer illus- tration of Mr. Baum's piece of work is presented here. He seems to have been well justified in the belief that it was one of the handsomest, as well as largest, designs ever made in the state. "It was presented by the citizens of Knoxville," says Mr. Baum, "and as the funeral occurred on the Friday be- fore Easter, it was up to us to make something large and handsome in the least possible time. * * Some of the committee, ' ' Mr. Baum continues, ".wanted us to construct in flowers the figure of a 'life-sized angel,' and we knew that the making of any- thing in so ambitious a line as that would require several hours and an al- most unlimited quantity of flowers. Having some fine Beauties on hand and a large basket, we suggested to make this up, as we knew we could make it -t— in the limited time at our disposal, and as the senator was always a lover of na- ture, we thought this would be in keep- ing with his character. The basket, as seen in the picture, contained 100 Amer- ican Beauties with 6-foot stems and 500 white roses, and, when completed, stood over nine feet high. On the handle was mounted a dove holding a white rose in its beak, as this was the senator 's favor- ite flower, and beside the dove was a violin with a broken bow, as the sena- tor was a great 'fiddler.' "Some years ago the senator, who was a democrat, and his brother, who is a republican, ran against each other for election as governor of this state. Senator Taylor adopted the white rose as his emblem and his brother chose the red rose, and this race was afterward known as 'the race of the roses,' after the manner of the War of the Roses, so ''"TVV r-^'*""Tf'T ^^r^tr^"' "t *'" 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Max 16, 1013. celebrated in history. Senator Taylor was three times governor of this state. We made and delivered this design in two hours. The price was $200." CINEBARIA SEED. I wish to get information on getting seed from cinerarias. I have a choice one I want to get seed from. Must I keep it separate from others, and will bees mix them? I had a few plants left over last year that I set off at the end of a bench. These dropped their seeds, which came up by the hundred, but 1 did not use them, as I do not want to bring along any doubtful stock. I thought if one will fertilize itself I would like to get the seed, L, P. , Bees and other insects will fertilize^^ cinerarias freely. They are not easy' plants to fix true to color. Particularly " is this true of the star section or stellata ; type. The large-flowered varieties are, less sporty and if your plant had b£en-_ isolated before the flowers opened and '' the plant had been protected by fitt^ j gauze to exclude insects you would probably get many of the seedlings'^tQ come true. If, however, this plant is now flowering with others, seed from it will probably give you^ wide rang At BosebiU Cemetery, Chicago.

Hence, if any carpet bedding is done at Eosehill during May, it is done at the customer's risk, while the planting done in June is guaranteed. Of course florists are well aware that carpet bedding, as a means of deco- rating graves, is too expensive to suit customers of extremely scanty means. This style of grave planting cannot be used extensively except in cemeteries which draw their patronage largely from a prosperous class of people. It is also true, however, that if carpet bed- ding Wjb're easily within the reach of the poorest of men, it might not be so popular among some of the wealthier men. If less costly, it might also be less fashionable. Therefore, in this in- ^ stance as in some others, what is loss to the florists of one community may be gain to those of another community. Besides, as intimated in this connec- tion two weeks ago, foliage plants in cemetery bedding have special advan- tages that may often more than compen- sate for their expensiveness. A Few Points About the Plants. For the convenience of the reader who may care to glance at any of the following paragraphs, descriptive 'of some of th^ Rosehill grave planting, it may be well to repeat here part of what was said two weeks ago with re- gard to the varieties of plants that are used. The red alternantheras that are frequently spoken of, as occupying a prominent place in most of the Rose- hill carpet bedding, may be understood us referring to any good, standard red sort, though the favorite reds at Rose- hill have usually been Alternanthera brilliantissima and A. paronychioides major. The yellow alternantheras, also re-^' peatfedly mentioned in the descriptions, are A. aurea nana. "Aurea — golden! Surely the fellow who named it was either color-blind or crazy, for it is as green as anything that ever grew." So thinks the amateur when he first sees this variety in the spring. As the summer advances, however, the coloi" does change to a fine golden yellow, especially if the plants are fully ex- posed to the sunlight. Unless otherwise specified, the eche- verias mentioned are the common bed- ding sort, E. secunda glauca. It is also important to note that the plants used by Mr. Fruetz are good- sized ones, perhaps a little larger than the average; so the number of plants allotted by him to certain spaces may not in all cases be sufficient for good work. ^ Heart Bed. The bed shown in the first of the three pictures is what Mr. Fruetz des- ignates as a solid heart bed. It was about four feet high and three and one- half feet across. Mr. Fruetz insists that those are the right proportions of the bed, though the perspective of the picture might convey a different im- pression. The echeveria border, ex- tending all around, contained sixty-five plants. The figure occupying the cen- tral part of the bed is what is termed a wine-glass design. The space under the base of the wine-glass was covered by fifteen red alternantheras. The base itself consisted of twenty-five echeve- rias. The stem of the wine-glass and the lower part of the bowl were made of twenty-five yellow alternantheras; the upper part was made of thirty-five red alternantheras. The wine-glass was edged on each side, from base to top, with a row of echeverias, forty plants in all. Ouyije of this row of eche- verias wasMi row of yellow alternan- theras, ext^ding up over the edge of the bowl and containing about fifty plants, twenty-five on each side; then another row of echeverias, about forty of them. The spaces on each side of the bed, between the triple edging of the wine-glass and the outer border of the heart, were filled with red alter- nantheras, about eighty in all. Three Combination Graves. In another of the illustrations are seen three graves which are treated just alike and thus constitute what Mr. Fruetz calls "three combination graves." The beds, exclusive of the outer edging of sod, were each about 1^2x5 feet. Limiting the description now to one of the beds, the echeveria border, enclosing the whole bed, con- tained fifty plants. Running lengthwise through the bed was i^'hat is termed a two-bow design, with the arches or curves of the two bows facing in oppo- site directions, and with a large eche- veria—an E. metallica— separating the bows. The bows were made of twenty- six santolinas, thirteen in each. The space inside the arch of each bow was filled with eighteen yellow alternan- theras, or thirty-six of the yellow sort in all. The rest of the bed was filled with fifty red alternantheras. Solid Bed, with Heart in Center. Another of the illustrations shows a bed of simple and unpretentious, but tasteful design, with a heart formed in the center of it. The bed measured about 5x6 feet and covered two graves. The echeveria border contftined sixty plants. The four large echeverias, in the corners, were E.- metallica. In each of the two upper curves or lobes of the 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 16, 1912. heart was one plant of another variety of echeveria, probably E. Desmetiana. The heart was filled with about seventy- five red alternantheras and edged with a row of echeverias containing fifty plants. The rest of the bed, surround- ing the heart, was filled with Alter- nanthera rosea, about ninety of them, except that there was a single row of fifty yellow alternantheras all around it, separating the Alternanthera rosea from the echeveria border. r i ^W%. <♦%.'<%.<<%■<♦%■<♦%.<»%.<•%■<»%.<♦%.<»%. <»^^#%. ■^ • ■-\.-w<>. >•* .. ^ • ^5 - « :i J ■* - t- ■ f 1 > *'..jrifc'r*i- -!»>/.* ^- % r, -v ♦• i-.' ■• tofc ••& -r t^Jki * • r -sj^'^ " "'i^ :»/ ' jitsf- ■ SyC . mrn^i , aBBMHWH^ 'm^ nl^HK~ .AdUwVm^vS 1 V- iEr\ii^^ ^^^^^Kk^^^EMBfaSFS^^QBifl 1 bi^ tA^ ^m'my ..- .A. i 1 ■ .ii* F/» %.

Agaves and aloes are suitable for very exposed places. Lawn Vases and Bustle Boxes. In selecting lawn vases, choose them of good size, say eight to twelve inches deep, and not less than sixteen inches in diameter. Eustic stands or boxes of wood should be charred in the same way as the win- dow boxes, and should have a minimum depth of eight inches to do well. Also drainage must be provided, as recom- mended for window boxes. Special care must be used in draining iron vases, as some patterns are poorly arranged. When the vases are small, it is necessary to make the soil somewhat richer in composition. If heavy vine growth is desired, be careful to have the - soil fully one inch below the top of the vase or box. The last filling around the plants should be of finer soil, and must be well firmed. Do not expect good results in loosely planted vases or boxes. If possible have them in some shel- tered place where they can remain sev- eral days, and where they will be pro- tected from heavy rains, as the soil must not be kept too wet. Until the roots have started well into the new soil, they must be sparingly watered, and yet the soil should never be allowed to dry hard. Treatment During the Summer. After a week or ten days the soil will stand more watering, and after three weeks or a month it cian be soaked daily in dry weather in a sunny position. From this time on fertilizer cai/be used, ■which at first should consist^of weak solutions of manure water, or a light dusting of the dry material. The water- ing must be looked after at regular in- tervals, and let me warn you that good results cannot be had /with indifferent care. Also the old flowers and the dry leaves must be regularly removed; also see that vases stand firm and level. Eegarding the different vines, the vincas, both the white edged and light, green leaved sorts, are the most useful and best growers. The variegated honey- suckle and Senecio scandens are other vines for yellow and green effects. They are of rapid growth and readily propa- gated, and will grow from four to eight feet long in a box that is eight inches deep. Where some climbing vines are desirable, the cobajas, both the white and purple, will fill the bill. These can be trained up to porch columns and win- dows, and Madeira vine planted in the back of the boxes can be trained to form a nice screen. G. A. Heyne. BOBBINK & ATKINS' BIQ SIQNS. Where there are few people there are not many buyers, but the more people there are the harder it becomes to keep one's name before them. That is a bromidic statement, to be sure, but it puts in few words one of the big prob- lems of some of the dealers in plants. New York without doubt has more buyers of greenhouse and nursery prod- ucts than has any other city in Amer- ica— but they are not easy to reach; the town is too big; the city itself is largely barren ground; the stock is planted at suburban homes; and the nursery itself must be outside, off to one side. While a large business is done at wholesale by Bobbink & Atkins, of Eutherford, N. J., their shipments go- ing to all parts of the country, a still larger local retail trade is done in the prosperous suburbs of New York. Practically all their customers do busi- ness in the city;, • but to reach them there is prohibitive in cost — the city flat dwellers so outnumber the subur- banites that anything like an adequate use of city newspapers is out of the question. So Bobbink & Atkins use billboards along the railroads. The ac- companying illustration shows one of their big painted signs. It stands be- side the New York, New Haven & Hartford a few miles out of town. These great signs may be decried by the high-brows, but they serve their commercial purpose. The O. J. Gude Co. designs, builds, paints and main- tains them at so much per year. A few of them on each road have made the name and location of Bobbink & Atkins known to all who ride in and out of the city. GLADIOLI. The earliest outdoor planting of gladioli is now well above ground and has had one cultivation, Successional plantings are made once a fortnight in order to insure a constant succession of flowers, this planting being continued until the middle of June. The bulbs are planted at an average depth of six inches. This keeps the stems more rigid when rain and wind storms prevail; those planted nearer the surface will in many cases be laid flat. The earliest plantings under glass, of America, Augusta and some other large- flowered varieties, are now starting to flower and make a welcome addition to flowers for cutting. It is always best to cut them when the first flowers open, allowing the others to expand in water. These gladioli are always in great de- mand at Memorial day and, prices be- ing higher at that time, as many as pos- sible should be held until that day. With a good cool room at command, spikes cut just as they start to open can easily be kept in fine condition for eight or ten days. A batch of Peach Blossom, Blushing Bride and others of the Colvillei and nanus type, will be 26 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Max 16, 1912. found invaluable for Memorial day and these should now have the spike well advanced. They open rapidlv in hot weather, but if in flats, which is the best way to {{row them, it is easy to move th^m to cooler quarters. BEGONIA MBS. HEAL. The popularity of (iloire de Lorraine and the several varieties of the same class, which Tecently have come to the fore has stimulated interest in the win- ter-flowering race of begonias produced in Europe by crossing T?. Socotrana with the tuberous begonias. Of these the one 'which has given the greatest promise is • Mrs. Heal, liamed for the wife of the raiser, .T. Heal, hybridist for J. Veitch & Sons. It ,is bright carmine and re- cently some exceptidnally fine plants have been seen at various places in England, showing its valne in the dark 'season of the year. The -jilant illus- trated was grown by a private gaf- /derier. It was one foot nine inches high, two feet four inches wide, and carried 184 fully expanded blooms at the time the photograph was taken. The grower thus describes his culture, writing in the Gardeners' Magazine: ' ' The plants were raised from cut- tings struck in April, 1911, placed in a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees, with a little bottom heat. When nicely rooted they were potted and kept in the same temperature until well estab- lished, M'hen they were placed in a slightly lower temperature, and potted as soon as acclimatized. When the but- side temperature became considerably higher the plants were placed in a close pit, and when w^ll rooted in their new pots the batch was placed for two months (July ami August) In a cool pit, aiid shaded through the middle of the mpty and filled, and also on filling any .which your prospective customers may liave at home. Figure out the cost of •fompost, boxes, plants, labor and cart- age and allow yourself a fair margin of profit. If you can only get one store or prominent residence the first season, the work, if tastefully done, will be a splendid testimonial for you and will, no doubt, considerably increase your business the next year. I have in mind one florist, a grower, who, from a small beginning with half a dozen boxes in 1907, filled over 350 last year, and he already has booked orders for 400 for the present year. This shows what can lie done in this branch of floriculture, Avhich is still in its comparative in- fancy. It should be remembered that this box filling is not like the Memorial day liiisiness, all crowded into a few days, but it now spreads oVer a number of Avoeks, in some cases running well into July. Then there are some customers wlio on their piazzas will want a change of plants, utilizing hydrangeas, fuchsias, tiilierous begonias, allamandas and lili- uiiis, such as speciosum and auratum, as they come in season. "Work of this na- ture helps to tide over the dullest part of the year and is surely worthy of the ■encouragement of every florist. Don't bo satisfied to stay in the same old rut. Trogress is the order of the day. Be in tlio front ranks of the procession rather than lag in the rear. HIPPEASTRUM PROCERUM. The picture here presented, showing the rare Ilippeastrum procerum (Linn.), also known as Amaryllis Eayneri, was made from a photograph taken by the writer in the Mexican house of the Hoyal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England, rol'iuary 10, 1912. M. Binot, who Hippeastrum Procerum. died recently in Brazil, sent the first bulb from Brazil to France and flow- ered it for the first time under culti- vation, so far as is known, in the year 1863. Dr. Rayner, of Uxbridge, Eng- land, flowered it in November, 1870, and it was then named, after him, Amaryllis Eayneri. This stately plant is remarkable for the broad, sickle-shaped, buff-edged leaves and the large size of the flow- ers, which measure five inches in diam- eter across the tips of the segments. The color of the flowers varies greatly, ranging from a pale purple to a pur- plish lilac or delicate mauve blue, and has been known to be a deep purple. In the throat, which is white, it more closely resembles a crinum than a hip- peastrum or amaryllis, as the long, fleshy neck is characteristic of crinums. There has been much discussion at Kew as to its being a hippeastrum and some still argue that it is not, owing to its refusing to take the pollen of other hippeastrums. Many attempts have been made to cross H. procerum with other hippeastrums, but thus far these efforts have been of no avail. This plant is rarely seen in flower, as only freshly imported plants flower. In the photograph it is seen growing in company with aloes, opuntias, etc., and in the foreground is an orchid, Coelogyne cristata. It is also grown in the succulent house at Kew, but does not flourish as in the temperate or Mexican house, as it delights in a moist atmosphere and a temperature of 60 degrees. H. W. Endres. OTAKSAS NOT FLOWERING. Two months or more ago I bought some Hydrangea Otaksa out of 6-inch pots. Some of them have buds, others are blooming nicely, but about half of them do not show any signs of buds. I treated them all alike. I gave thetn occasional applications of liquid ma- nure, and at all times plenty of water. Can you offer some explanation as to why some should have bloomed so well, while others with excellent foliage and in apparently good health do not show even a suggestion of a bud? W. B. Probably the wood on the hydrangeas which are not flowering had been killed back, and while they would of course break freely below the frozen portion, the growths would in most cases be blind. As a certain proportion of your plants are flowering and your treatment of all has been quite correct, it seems reasonable to conclude that the flower buds were destroyed before you re- ceived them.

Concrete and hollow tile are now being used for the side walls of green- houses instead of double boarding, said M. C. Wright in a recent talk to the Florists' Club of Philadelphia. Where hollow tile is used it is necessary to plaster the outside and inside surfaces of same with Portland cement mortar. Then, too, the tile have to be cut and it requires more or less time and ingenuity to use the tile to the best advantage without waste. From observation and tests it seems as if concrete made with clean cinders was the cheapest and best to use. The cinders, being more or less porous, make a concrete full of air cells, which accomplishes the same re- sults as the hollow spaces in the tile. One of the largest growers in the vi- cinity of Philadelphia builds his con- crete walls with a proportion of one part cement to eight parts of cinders. The cinders he uses are nearly of a size. They are small, hard cinders. His method of measuring the propor- tions is l^ using one bag of cement to four wheelbarrow loads of cinders. This method is satisfactory and is con- sidered even better than stone for the sides of greenhouses, because it is more porous and a better nonconductor. If stone and sand are used instead of cinders the following proportions are recommended: One part Portland ce- ment, three parts good, sharp sand and six parts of crushed stone or clean gravel. This is a satisfactory mixture and makes good, strong work. The walls need only be four inches thick and when a light cast iron sill is placed on top you have a construction which is practically indestructible and, as the upkeep is small, this form of con- struction is the cheapest in the end. PRICE OF CEMENT. Cement has been selling at prices so low that it is generally conceded that there has been no profit in it for the manufacturers; indeed, several of the companies either are in bankruptcy or facing the necessity of reorganization. At Chicago car lots now sell at about $1.05 per barrel delivered on the job in the Chicago territory, cartage in- cluded. Last month there was an ad- vance of 5 cents a barrel, but it is so slight a change that it will not affect the consumption in the least — concrete is so cheap for most of its uses that nothing but overproduction keeps the cement manufacturers from asking twice the money now obtained for their output. While cement is sold by the barrel, it almost never is packed that way. A barrel is four bushels. A barrel weighs 384 pounds, the same as a barrel of flour, and is too heavy to handle. Each quarter-barrel sack contains one bushel and weighs 96 pounds net. When ce- ment is sold for, say, $1.05 per barrel delivered on the job, it comes invoiced at $1.45. The extra 40 cents is for the sacks; return them and credit \ America." He prefaced bis paper with the remark that it is purely a flight uf the imagination,, but, not beyond the realm of reason. Where would Mary Garden have landed without the snapshot camera and the persistent promotion of her own pub- licity? What of F. T.

BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM TOU crease as we want the flower trade to do. "The brick manufacturers have com- bined to present the advantages of their product as a building material. Why? Because the success of the cement men's publicity campaign aimed a death blow at their industry, and one that pierced their pocketbooks. * ' And now the wallpaper manufactur- ers, a trade involving a profit of fifteen millions a year, have done likewise, be- cause the paint men have pointed out, in well-written newspaper and magazine articles, the sanitary superiority and the economy of paint as ^ means of interior decoration, "These men have to fight to save a deteriorating business because their more modern competitors are using against them that most effective and most modern of weapons, the public press, which reaches everyone who can read — and that is everyone worth counting. "Let us rouse ourselves from the lethargy, into which I, for one, am broad enough to admit we have fallen, and take up the pen, which grows sharper each day as the sword of sav- agery grows duller— ^take it up for the increase of sales, for the upbuilding of the florists' business — let us have our share. Let us remind the people of flowers — and they will buy." The president's remarks were re- ceived in silence. He had said some things so true that they hurt. After a moment's silent thought, the meinbers, all of whom were prominent in the trade and interested in its increase, forgot their personal antagonism, which had been aroused by the poin'ted truths he had uttered and thought only of the good to be gained by coinciding with his progressive ideas. They organized a fund for the con- duct of a campaign of publicity for flowers in general and secured an expe- rienced press agent, to take charge of it: Details were left in his hands, but the members were ever ready to assist him in putting before the publiri the pres- ence of flowers and reminding them of their acceptability. Financial assist- ance was cheerfully given by the allied trades, the glass firms who furnished lights for the greenhouses, the foundries who supplied the piping. Articles appeared soon and at fre- quent intervals in daily and Sunday newspapers and in the Weekly and monthly magazines all over the cotintry. These, because of their timeliness and interesting construction and the beauti- ful illustration to which the subject so readily lent itself, were gladly accepted by the editors, who could not and would not have published them if they had mentioned the names and addresses of special firms of florists. They did not look like free advertising — -that bane of the editor's existence — because they ad- vanced the interests and the advan- tages, not of a commercial house, but of one of God's best gifts to Man — one of Man 's best gifts to Woman. They told of the development of plants and flowers, of their growth and care, their charm in the home, in the sickroom, in the garden. They related how the foremost educators and prelates insisted on having fresh flowers in the school and in the church, and how the most progressive business men provided for their presence in the office and in the factory. And, eventually, .^ these ideal but hitherto little more than imag- ined conditions, through persistent and adroit striking of the same nail, were [Oonclad«d on page 74.] ■,P W M.I ' Ii ^ BP'f " {HVPfl JP ^:« P'.1 L* ■ 30 The Weekly Florists' Review.

To the Members of the Chicago Florists' Club: Gentlemen — While some of our mem- bers have shown impatience at the delay in naming committees, I have been convinced that it was better to make haste slowly in the matter of selecting them, and in view of the fact that I was elected on a platform which had for its basic foundation the ce- menting together of all trade interests and the elimination of any semblance of favoritism, it is with pleasure I pre- sent the Committee of Ways and Means, to handle the approaching S. A. F. convention matters, which commit- tee I have endeavored to make so broad and far-reaching that no branch of our trade in any of its ramifications shall be omitted, reserving, with your kind permission, the privilege of add- ing any good name which I may have overlooked. It is my desire that this great general committee shall without unnecessary delay hold a meeting and elect its executive committee, vested with such powers as the general com- mittee shall deem advisable.

The gla- diolus crop is good. New York, N. Y. — A recent decision handed down by the judges of the United States Circuit Court, the court of last resort in patent cases, sustains the right of Lord & Burnham Co. to the exclusive use in greenhouses of the galvanized ice clearing eave plate.

Erne & Klingel report that their open- ing day, which was postponed until Monday, May 13, was all that could have been desired and they were en- tirely cleaned out, as one or two large shippers did not get their word to "come ahead" in time for the first day. A. L. Vaughan states that the reports he has received from his shippers of peonies indicate that the crop will be in by Memorial day. Most of his corre- spondents say that although the crop is backward it will only take a few warm days to bring them along. Phil Foley returned from a several days' trip May 13 and found his little daughter much improved. Payne Jennings says that judging from the demand for newspaper cuts and mailing cards for Mothers ' day, flo- rists throughout the country are begin- ning to realize the force which good advertising exerts, and are making bet- ter use of it than formerly. Among others inconvenienced by the freight handlers' strike is the Pulver- ized Manure Co., several shipments hav- ing been considerably delayed. D. K.

The cold weather continues to hold outdoor stock back. Pansy plants are rather poor; they have not had a chance to grow yet. Bedding stock is not selling, because there is liable to be frost at any time.

The demand for carnations has been enormous; almost as heavy as for Decoration day. Of course, white were preferred, but when they could not be supplied, no one hesitated to take colors. The wholesalers had to re- fuse many orders and cut down nearly all orders for white. Celluloid buttons painted to represent a carnation were sold on the streets and the proceeds de- voted to charity, but they did not seem to hurt the sale of the real flowers. Club Banquet. The banquet of the Colorado Florists ' Club at the Adams hotel on Monday, May 6, was well attended, there being sixty-eight at the tables. Sixteen out- of-town florists were present. The ban- quet hall was beautifully decorated with palms, ferns, bay trees, potted plants, carnations and calla lilies. Tulips, car- nations and snapdragons were used on the tables. The decorations were in charge of E. P. Neiman and T. W. Hannah. J. A. Valentine acted as toastmaster and some interesting responses were made. The affair was a great success and was enjoyed by all, including those who confessed to having a headache the next day. The out-of-town guests were Messrs. J. Edw. Johnson, John Berry, C. U.

The cut flower business has been quiet generally and none of the retailers seem at all busy. The fact that lilac and outdoor flowers- have been so plentiful probably had something to do with this. While a few- bedding plants have been sold, it is not only rather early, but also too cold and wet for much progress in that depart- ment. Those handling trees and shrub- bery, however, are right in it, as the cold is prolonging the season and the- cold last winter seems to have killed a good deal of the privet hedges and other shrubbery. The wholesale cut flower houses all seem to be pretty well stocked and there is not much excitement along any line. Some peonies and iris are comings but there is no special demand for them. Mothers' day had its effect, but the demand was all for white carnations. All of these in sight sold at a fair price, but there was no special demand for anything else. It is unfortunate that all could not do as did one florist in one of our ad- joining cities, who had his local paper Mat 16, 1912.

You can take it for granted that every florist in this town thinks well of his mother, whether living or dead. And you can take it from me that they all think well of Mothers' day. Some say it was a cyclone that swept the decks Saturday and Sunday morning. Call it what you will, there was a clean-up on all lines of stock. At the last min- ute anything that could be called a flower was eagerly picked up. Mothers ' ■day was one grand success and Fathers ' day came in figuring up after it was all over.

TiS^SS' PHIIADEIPHIA, PA. Mention The Reylaw wben you write- PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. Mothers' day was the feature of the week ending Mav 15. It had both a physical and moral effect, as Samuel S. Pennock expressed it. The former was seen in the heavy, unsatisfied and un- satisfactory demand for white carna- tions; the latter in the stimulus given to the sale of other flowers. The supply of white carnations was surprisingly .large, growers shipping to this market who ordinarily ship elsewhere, but there were nowhere near enough to satisfy the demand. Many, alas, too many, of them went to sleep, proving a total loss. The price of white carnations advanced sharply; $5, $6, $8, $10 and, on a few, even $12 per hundred was realized. Colored carnations sold slowly at from $3 to $4 and occasionally, for fine Mrs. C. W. Ward, $5 per hundred. White r'^ses felt the increased demand, though not at higher prices. Good Killarney and Richmond hare been in fair demand throughout the week, but much of this stock is of low grade and sells slowly. Sweet peas have been under the weather. Good peas go well. Snapdragon is in mod- erate demand when nice, but poor snaps are unsalable. There is some demand for cattibyas and for part of the gar- denia crop, but valley is rather dull. Peonies from the south are in good sup- ply, both white and pink. Greenhouse- grown gladioli and irises are quite plentiful, the former in three standard varieties, the latter in purple, laven- der, yellow, white and a mixture. Daisies are good, both yellow and white. Callas are still quite numerous. They sell much better than Easter lilies. Long-stemmed American Beauties are abundant. Mothers' Day. There has been much dissatisfaction over the conditions prevailing in the white carnation market for the week preceding Sunday, May 12. Buyers who usually buy fifty or 100 white carnations on Friday or Saturday ordered 1,000. To meet this extraordinary demand flowers were held back, often to their ruin. There were nowhere near enough, HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL VARIETIES OF Seasonable Cut Flowers The favor of a trial order is solicited. We are in earnest and will spare no effort to please you.

Extremely high prices are a disadvantage to the business in the long run, but pickling means loss of caste. In plain words, a stale flower is a dishonest flower, which brings dis- credit to us all. The remedy is simple — the demand must be diverted to other flowers. John Jensen, the West Phila- delphia florist, suggests that each of us should wear his mother's favorite flower. This idea put into practice by every florist and urged by them to their customers would end the salting and extremely high prices of the white car- nations on Mothers' day, while pre- serving the sentiment and increasing the profit. A Chat With Mr. Habermehl. John P. Habermehl found a few mo- ments to chat on business conditions in his beautiful flower shop in the Belle- vue Stratford hotel, now shaded from the afternoon sun by the scaffolding required for another 15-story addition to the hotel. Mr. Habermehl spoke of a number of out-of-town weddings that had occurred within a radius of twenty- five miles of the city and of the style of decorations and the flowers required for them. Speaking of the terrible marine tragedy that has been on every- one 's lips for several weeks, Mr. Haber- mehl named a well known Philadelphia financier, saying that he was a man of broad ideas whose loss would be felt by the whole community. Such men, Mr. Habermehl said, were liberal in their dealings with everyone and by their liberality encouraged business. Speaking of the style of made-up pieces, Mr. Habermehl said the day of the short-stemmed flower had passed.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. New York, N. Y.— Chas. E. Jaeger, florist at 147 West 127th street, filed a petition in bankruptcy May 9, with liabilities $3,018 and assets consisting of an interest in fifty-eight acres of land at Bayport, L. I., worth $2,000, which is under foreclosure of a mort- gage of $2,000. Frankfort, Ky.— Louis Singer filed a deed of assignment May 7, to D. L. Hazelrigg. It is said his assets are con- siderably in excess of his debts, but some of his creditors were pressing him at a time when he had no ready money. His assets are estimated at something like $6,000, while his debts amount to $3,500. An effort will be made to have the creditors agree to let Mr. Singer retain the management of the business and sell out the stock on hand. It is believed that if this is done he will be able to pay all his debts and have some little left over, whereas, if the plants are put up at public auction and sold they would bring but a small sum.

Apart from an unusual demand for white carnations, the supply in the general list was well in advance X. *°y possible requirements. The wholesalers drew attention to Mothers' day by placards in the windows and the retailers gave the public similar remind- ers, so that the day was more generally observed than heretofore, in spite of the unfavorable weather. Evidently it has come to stay. For the best grade of American Beau- ties 25 cents continues top, and this ngure is obtainable only for the se- lected. The tendency of all roses is downward.

When should gladioli be planted in Illinois to be in full bloom for August 20? I want them for exhibition pur- poses. Would like to know the vari- eties that will be at their best then, how to plant them and care for them to get the best results. L. M. D. Gladioli to flower at the date named should be planted about May 15. Plant the bulbs six inches deep in ground which previously has been well en- riched. By planting thus deep the stems will keep more erect and are not likely to be blown over or bent by any of the summer gales which we may have. An open, sunny spot must, of course, be used for the bulbs. Usually you can get many fine varieties of gladioli by purchasing Groflf's, Lemoine's, and other mixtures. Amoug named varie- ties a dozen excellent ones are: Baron Hulot, violet blue; America, soft flesh pink, the most popular gladiolus we have; Dawn, rose-pink; Jean Dieulafoy, creamy white, maroon throat; Octoroon, salmon pink; Augusta, pure white; Eu- Florists-Think if you want the best Fancy Ferns in the market for MEMORIAL DAY we have them reserved for you at only $1,50 per thousand.

Business con- tinues good in the retail stores, because the weather has been fine. Early gar- den flowers are seen at some of the stores and are much in demand. Sweet peas and mignonette are overabundant just now, but the price is still up. A few outdoor tulips are coming into the market, and callas are again abundant, as are Easter lilies. There is a deluge of roses, and most of the stock is indeed superb. Carna- tions went up in price because of Moth- ers' day, the trade was good and great quantities of white carnations were sold. Churches and Sabbath schools took up the sentiment and used large quantities of stock. The daily press gave a great deal of publicity, which increased the business of the florists. Various Notes. Last week Commissioner Calvin Hud- son called on Chas. H. Vick and invited him to take charge of the flower dis- play at the New York state fair at Syr- acuse in September. After considera- ble discussion, Mr. Vick consented on condition that he be given an entire building for the flower show, band con- certs at least every afternoon and eve- ning, and carte blanche in regard to any plan he may have or any attraction he may desire. The regular monthly meeting of the Rochester Florists' Association was held May 13 and William Perie read a paper on * ' How to Make a Good Lawn.

A lib- eral reward has been offered for the ar- rest of the miscreants. Jas. J. Karins, of H. A.

J. F. Ammann read his paper on ' ' Ee- lations of the Grower, Wholesaler and Eetailer, ' ' after which a discussion took place in which W. C. Smith answered for the wholesaler, Otto Sander for the retailer and W. J. Pilcher for the grower. Messrs. Kuehn, Irish, Anger- mueller, Windier, Ogle and Fillmore took an active part in the final discussion. The paper and the discussion proved to be one of the best the club has had, and the only regret was the small attend- ance. For the June meeting, C. E. De Wever will lead a discussion on "Relative Value of Overhead and Sub-Irrigation," in which he will be assisted by Jules Bourdet, Gust Grossart and Pierre Schneider. This meeting will take place June 13. Various Notes. H. C. Irish, for many years superin- tendent of the Missouri Botanical Gar- den, has resigned, to take effect June 1.

The florists' dance, given by the young men of the wholesale houses Wednesday evening, May 8, at West- minster hall, was a grand success, there being about 100 couples present. Al Gums, Frank Windier and Will Ossick, who had the arrangements in hand, say they never saw the younger folks enjoy themselves better than on this occasion. They are now talking of giving a moon- light steamboat excursion some evening in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Gorly say they enjoyed a most pleasant vacation on their short stay in Florida. Mr. Gorly was so taken with that part of the coun- try that he is contemplating the pur- chase of an orange plantation there. Ostertag Bros, report several good sized wedding decorations during last week. They have had a great deal of this kind of work since Lent. Since then Henry and Fred have been trying to figure out why it is that the "best" man at the wedding doesn't marry the bride. Adolph Brix lost his suit for posses- sion of the prize hound dog which he recently obtained in trade for another dog. It afterward developed that the hound belonged to a west end society lady, from whom it had been stolen. Frank A. Weber says he has hopes of a large delegation from here to the an- nual meeting of the American Associa- tion of Nurserymen at Boston next month.

F. Kasting came as a great shock to Mr. Kasting's many friends in this city. The Engelmann Botanical Club held its first field meeting Saturday, May 11, at Creve Coeur lake. C. H. Thompson, of the Missouri Botanical Garden, was their instructor for the day, but the big rain storm in the afternoon put a stop to the work. Monday evening, May 13, the club held its regular meeting and discussed the advantages of the field meet and examined the specimens that were gathered. One of the features of the meeting was a talk by L. O. Kunkel, of the Missouri Botanical Garden, on "Physiological Species." Dr. Geo. T. Moore presided over the meeting and Secretary G. H. Pring reports a good attendance. Mrs. Louisa Krite reports a good run of funeral work last week and a good sale of carnations for Mothers' day. The parks are now being planted un- der the supervision of Superintendent E. Strehle and Mr. Morris, head of the greenhouses at Forest park. HUGO H.

L. Bourn's range of 10,- 000 square feet of glass at Moscow, Idaho, about a year ago, and have since been conducting both establishments. Now, however, they are removing their Garfield houses to Moscow and will con- solidate the two places there. They will retain the name Roselawn Green- houses at the new location. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business last week was slightly ham- pered by want of flowers. There is a scarcity of almost every variety and several out-of-town orders had to be turned down for lack of stock. Car- nations are selling well and at better prices than heretofore this season. Good whites for Mothers' day were hardly to be procured at any price. Roses also were scarce and there are few outside flowers of any consequence coming in. Lilac is about the only thing that is plentiful, and the lilac bushes are getting pretty well de- nuded, owing to the shortage of other flowers. Bedding stock is moving well; the fine weather we are now having is causing people to fix up their yards. Various Notes. F. C. Smith and George Seaverns, of Tacoma, were visitors with us last week. Miss Anna J. Burns, of the Burns Floral Co., has gone on a visit to St. Paul, to attend the marriage of her brother, John, to Miss Gates, of that city. T. W. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Stock of all kinds is plentiful and everything is lovely, except that trade is not as brisk as we should like to see it. There is quite a stir for school clos- ings and this is about all there is to re- port. Funeral business, which has been fair for the last two months, is also a scarce proposition and the departure of many people for out-of-town resorts helps to keep everything at a low ebb. Carnations and roses are abundant and of extra good quality. The cool weather for the last three weeks has had the effect of bringing out all the good quali- ties which often at this time are miss- ing. Bulbous stock, with the exception of Spanish iris and a few late tulips, is on the wane. Gladioli and dahlias are commencing to be a factor. Easter lil- ies and valley move slowly. Lilac and peonies are over for the season. Other kinds of outside stock are about as usual. Various Notes. At the regular meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society, May 4, the entire evening was devoted to a discus- sion of the "city beautiful" campaign, "resident Rossi strongly endorsed the "lovement and expressed the belief that it would be succflissfully carried out. All the members present volunteered to donate trees and plants, as well as their services in carrying the plans into exe- cution. About forty growers present agreed to look over their stocks and send their offers to the board of man- agement of the city beautiful campaign, in the Mills building. The California State Floral Society held its spring exhibition May 9 to 11, in Yosemite hall. The committee of awards was composed of Wm. Kettle- well, H. Kempf, Chas. Abrahams and J. W. Bagge. G. LOS ANQELES, CAL. The Market. The great floral parade which is scheduled for later in the present week is responsible for using an enormous amount of cut flower stock, but so heavy are the arrivals that there is no scarcity in any lines, with the possible exception of clear yellow Spanish iris. There is plenty of white and blue, but the run on yellow has been prodigious and it is difficult to secure. Carnations are abundant and much of the decorative work in floats and autos will be carried out with these. Then there are almost unlimited quan- tities of such things as sweet peas, centaureas, marguerites and the bright golden green coreopsis. A scarcity of Shasta daisies developed, but only for a day or two, and as soon as the rush of the parade and Fiesta week is over there will be plenty for all. Marguerite Mrs. F. Sander helped out in place of the Shastas and there was plenty of African daisies. The demand for wreathing and festoons has been un- precedented, thousands of yards being used for decorating large halls and ban- quet rooms, for the front of office buildings and for many other purposes. The streets by day are gay with palms and green; by night hundreds of thou- sands of electric lights and Japanese lanterns are the admiration of the un- counted thousands who flock to this, the greatest of all floral pageants. The excitement and rush of the times have not been good for the retail busi- ness generally, and on several days of late a scarcity of funeral work tended further to depress matters, but nobody cares. The Shriners are here and the town is theirs and we will settle down to business when they are gone. Just now the true holiday spirit is in the air, in the ocean breezes and in the cool yet bright days and nights which make life so enjoyable here. And if ever there was a happier, niore care- free set of visitors and residents than that which has crowded Los Angeles to the limit during this glorious week, I have yet to see it. Regarding indoor stock of roses and carnations, the pressure has been con- siderably relieved since last writing and the supply is nearer the demand. But there are still plenty, and until grow- ANYTHING YOU NEED IN CUT FLOWERS We also make a specialty of GREENS OP ALL KINDS— Huckleberry, Brake, Mexican Ivy, Maidenhair, Aaparai^ua Plumoans and Spreng^eri.

White and pink roses have been in good demand, but there is no scarcity of either, or likely to be for some time. Lily of the valley is too plentiful some days; then comes a big demand and cleans up everything in si^ht. White and red camellias are getting quite a vogue as corsage flowers and are seen at the stores of the best retailers. Orchids are more plentiful and some beautiful flowers of the good old Cattleya Mos- sisB are displayed. The demand for greens has been immense, and, coming at a time when seed picking is at its height, it has kept the growers hustling to supply it. Good asparagus strings and long smilax are practically out of the market. Various Notes. Owing to the excitement in town, consequent on the Shriners' parade, there was only a limited attendance at the regular monthly meeting of the Los Angeles Horticultural Society, May 7. It was decided to hold another meeting May 14. There was some desultory talk among the members and officers respecting the vexed questions of quar- antine and inspection of nursery stock, but in view of the fact that the Cali- fornia Association of Nurserymen is probably taking action on this, it was felt that it would be better not to stir in the matter at present, but wait and use the influence of the society later if necessary. Secretary Kruckeberg, who is also secretary of the nurserymen's association, told of a shipment of 10,000 almonds being held up and eventually killed, at a loss of $5,000 to the nursery- man, simply because crown gall was found on about six of the trees. He also spoke of a shipment of Oregon stock that was held up at Los Angeles, but the nurseryman in this case, at considerable expense to himself, came to the city and looked into the matter, when the shipment was pronounced clean and allowed to go forward. Such cases show the pressing need for federal rather than Jim-Crow legislation, with its petty political grafts and time- serving. A. Bloomquist, of the Baird Park Nursery, Bairdstown, has taken a part- ner, A. Lindquist, and, in addition to growing the line of nursery and plant stock for which Mr. Bloomquist has al- ready a good name, the firm will spread out into cut flower growing, especially asters, roses, carnations and chrysan- themums. S. Murata has been showing fine African and Shasta daisies, while the amount of carnations handled here is truly amazing. Mr. Murata handles the immense cuts from many Japanese growers in the neighborhood, and these, in the aggregate, amount to hundreds of thousands in the week. Fair Maid carnations of good quality and low price are among the offerings at the store of Creutz & Co., on Eighth street. Business with the Hayward Floral Co. is keeping up well. One of the big undertakings this week was the decoration of the Los Angeles Trust building and the big fez, while a ban- quet for 450, at which Asparagus Sprengeri and red sweet peas were used, made things interesting for the staff. Everyone was glad to welcome Miss Winifred Waite back to the city, after OUTDOOR ROSES TASSANO BROS. We will have the best in the market for DECORATION DAY Also all classes of Cut Flowers and Greens.

Carnations are scarce again. Spring plants are mov- ing well at good prices, but stock seems none too plentiful. Many of the growers are complaining of the poor germination of aster seed, the blue and lavender varieties being especially poor. A. A.

La Grande is to have another green- house. Since the agitation by the Commercial Club about a year ago, showing the large sum of money which was being sent out of La Grande an- nually for greenhouse products, three greenhouses have sprung up. The first two are as yet on a small scale. A greenhouse is now to be built by A. B. Cherry, who has just sold out his laun- dry, on an extensive scale. He expects to have his houses ready for the late fall and winter trade for flowers and vegetables. SPOKANE, WASH. The matter of a flower show to be held in Spokane during the coming summer came up at the meeting of the Spokane Horticultural Society April 23 and it was decided to make it the sole topic for discussion at the next meeting, May 7. The chief subject for discussion was the culture of the dahlia, which, it was pointed out, was pecu- liarly adapted for this vicinity, being easily grown and its tubers propagated without difficulty. Those taking part in the discussion, in addition to the chair- man, John W. Duncan, were Samuel Younkin, W. J. Burnett, E. C. Harbord, A. A. Kelly and Mrs. Wright. There were thirty-five present.

Discreet and original advertisements were also inserted just prior to each of the holidays when the man is thinking what present he can make to the woman he loves, reminding him of flowers, the fairest and purest of gifts. Those days which had special floral emblems, such as McKinley day, St. Pat- rick's day and Mothers' day, were em- phasized and the newspapers got into the habit of taking it for granted that everyone able to do so would wear the prescribed flower of the day. This was as simple of achievement as it had been for the great restaurants, some years before, to force the public into making an all night orgy — with wine at $5 per bottle — of election night and New Year's eve, both pure products of combined and organized publicity.

Labor day, Christmas, New Year's, Thanks- giving, Hallowe'en, Lincoln's and "Washington's birthdays, May day and Memorial day were added to the list, which had hitherto been made up, in a half-hearted way, of McKinley day, Mothers' day and St. Patrick's day. Carnations, violets and roses, which had formerly been neglected from the latter part of September to the middle of December, when King Chrysanthemum holds sway, were forced into promi- nence and no longer faded in the ice- boxes. Floral departments were established in the magazines for the home, and in the women's pages of morning and evening newspapers; window _ boxes and floral table decorations were encouraged in the home. Through the hotel and theat- rical reporters, the hotels and theaters where flowers were a part of the regu- lar or special decorations and where they were given to the guests as souve- nirs of certain events, were specially mentioned for their artistic enterprise. Department stores were induced to advertise flowers as souvenirs to be given to each purchaser on the special emblem days. And in countless other ways were flowers impinged upon the public mind. The result was inevitable, as sure as the crowding out of candles by oil lamps, of oil lamps by gas, and of gas by electricity. Everyone had flowers, just as everyone has a telephone and a fountain pen.

From the Horticultural Advertiser (British) the following item is clipped, well deserving the old-time heading, 'Interesting if True": "There seems some probability of Manetti stocks being scarce in the com- ing season. One of our friends in the States has been advertising for them in our columns and says that he has only been able to secure a trifling 1,300,- 000.

Journal, an English publication: "There are a few things in which we have to take off our hats to our European cousins. For one thing, they can give us better Red Clover seed than we can give them, and we export a lot every year at low price, but the English and Lowland Dutch brings twice as much in the London market. Why? Simply because our hot, dry climate has given this great plant a wiry and hairy character which makes it undesirable to the stock, and also because it is not as good a cropper. If the American farmers only knew it they would renew their Red Clover stock with English or Lowland Dutch every few years. South German, French and Austrian seed in this connec- tion is, of course, no better than American. The price of these on the London market tells the tale. All on a par, or pretty nearly so. The same is true of our Red Top, Rhode Island and Creeping Bent grasses. The latter from Bavaria and Austria and similar hot, dry climates is probably no better than common Red Top grown under similar conditions in America. What is wanted in Rhode Island Bent and Creeping Bent is the Northern strain from the Baltic provinces just as Cabbage and Cauli- flower are better from these regions than from hot, dry climates. Note in this connection the big increase in the exports of Copenhagen and other favored localities during recent years, in Cabbage and Cauliflower seeds, due partly to push and advertising on the part of the producers, and also partly to the open-eyed, eagle-eyed vision of the American seedsmen." Reply to this article and rectification thereon The Seed Trade Reporting Letter Nr. 28 of March 20, 1912, is bringing an article concerning Red Clover and Agrostis stolonifera, headed "European Clover Seed," which is entirely contradicting with the truth, so that I feel induced to rectify same herewith. The article, which I have submitted to scientific authori- ties and competent seed experts, contains such a number of inaccuracies and false statements that I find in the interest of the German Export Trade and particularly of the American dealers of the article in question to explain how the matter really stands and to treat especially the question of Agrostis stolonifera in detail. In first instance I wish to quote the replies which I have received from Dr. Stebler, Director of the Swiss Seed Testing Station, Zurich, and of Professor Dr. Voigt, Director of the Botanical Museum, Hamburg: "Zurich, April 4, 1912. In reply to your letter of the 2nd Inst, we fully agree with your remarks in every respect. That article contains as many false statements and Inaccuracies as it has sentences. It is true that American Red Clover has a very hairy character; but this is never found with South German, French and Austrian Seed, whilst English Clover lb often hairy, for the reason that large quantities of American Red Clover are always imported into the United Kingdom. The remarks regarding Agrostis stolo- nifera, Floringrass, too, are Incorrect. The European Agros- tis stolonifera which is originated In Hessla (South Ger- many) is much liked for lawns. Agrostis canina, true. Is very seldom obtainable in the trade, and nothing Is known to us about a variety of Agrostis from the Baltic Prov- inces. These statements are Incorrect. Signed: Dr. Stebler." "Hamburg, April 24, 1912. The article which you have sent makes us thoroughly the impression of a puffing adver- tisement with a certain tendency. The statements therein contained are directly false and only give an entirely one- sided view of the conditions of Red Clover and Agrostis stolonifera. The writer does not seem to be acquainted with the most Important origins of Red Clover in the Euro- pean trade and of their qualities. Of an A^ostls from Northern Provinces nothing is known to us, but we know that the South German Floringrass, true Agrostis stolo- nifera, is particularly suitable for fine lawns. Signed: Pro- fessor Dr. Volgt." It is ascertained that just the American buyers of Agrostis stolonifera are kept in uncertainty and dark- ness since many years regarding the different varieties of Agrostis by some sellers and particularly by incorrect statements as given for instance by the article in ques- tion; therefore I beg to give for rectification detailed information as to the characteristics of the different species of Agrostis. 1.) Common American Red Top, which is nearly exclu- sively grown and harvested in Illinois and which is han- dled all over the world, is known to the trade under the following names: Agrostis capillaris, Agrostis stolonifera, Agrostis vulgaris, Creeping Bent Grass, Marsh Bent Grass, 6tc. It is a rough grass, 2 to 3 feet high, with little value for fodder, liked by sheep and less suited for fine lawns. 20 The European Agrostis stolonifera, Floringrass, which is exclusively grown in South Germany, bears the following names in the trade: Agrostis stolonifera, true vjerman Floringrass, Agrostis alba, Stoloniferous Bent Grass, etc. It is much liked everywhere on account of Darmstadt, Germany, May 1, 1912. its fine dainty growing character; the latter makes this sort specially suitable and preferred for fine lawns; the plants are about one to li^ feet high. 3.) Bhode Island Bent Grass, Agrostis canina, is grown in the New England States, especially in Rhode Island, in limited quantities, and shows in the genuine species a similar character as our South German Floringrass, true Agrostis stolonifera. According to the tests and trials made by Mr. Edgar Brown, Botanist in charge, Washing- ton, D. C, it is not grown in the pure variety in the New England States, but always mixed with common Ameri- can Red Top, so that it can in no way be identified with the true South German Floringrass. In the "Baltic Provinces" no Agrostis stolonifera, neither a rough nor a fine growing variety, is to be found, and the statements of the writer of the article in question seem to point out the intention of discrediting the match- less true South German Agrostis stolonifera, Floringrass, but in a very incorrect manner, using Agrostis which is absolutely of no true origin, but perhaps the Agrostis from the Baltic provinces, which nobody knows or has seen, except the writer of the article. It may very often be rather difficult to find out at first sight, if a delivery of German Floringrass is mixed with American Red Top, but the sowing always proves an adul- teration very easily found by the character of the Plants, as the two varieties differ greatly from one another by their characteristics. The value of the two species and their applicability is not the same, one should therefore take such falsifications and the propaganda, in which way it may be made — to put it very mildly — as a mysti- fication of the buyer, as such doings are giving great harm and damage to the trade not only of the buyer, but also of the correct supplier of genuine seed. For this reason it is advisable to buy true South German Floringrass, Agrostis stolonifera, under a strict guarantee for genuineness, purity and growth and from competent German dealers and to have the deliveries tested in Zurich by the Swiss Seed Testing Station, which is the oldest and most experienced Station in the world. Merely in this way the interest of the buyer of true South German dainty growing Floringrass can be carried out and one can attain a protection against adulterations, and besides one is able to find out the suppliers of mixed and adul- terated Agrostis stolonifera and to put an end to their incorrect manipulations. In conclusion I believe that the article in question makes the impression to every attentive reader that the writer, who seems to be the agent of an English or Dutch firm for Red Clover, of a non-German firm for Agrostis stolonifera and other grass Seeds, and of a Danish firm for Vegetable Seeds, had the intention to propagate by his incorrect statements for his agencies, and in first line for the firm which is the supplier of the "Baltic Agrostis stolonifera," in order to reach big sales for the letter; this intention is certainly to be considered as an abortive attempt.

Keur, of C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom, Holland, was in Chicago last week on his eighteenth annual trip to America. He originally was booked for passage on the Titanic, but a change in his plans caused him to take another boat. Mr. Keur is responsible for the present duty on hya- cinth bulbs of 50 cents per thousand, having inspired the test case that resulted in the reduction from $2.50 per thousand. He says that the result has been a notice- able increase in the quantity of hyacinth bulbs exported to America. E. L. Page, of the Greene Seed Co., Greene, N. Y., and ex-president of the American Seed Trade Association, passed through Chicago May Jo on his way to the Pacific coast. Mr. Page was accom- panied by his wife. They expect to spend about six weeks inspecting crops in Cali- fornia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon- tana and other states, returning via Chi- cago in time to attend the annual, meeting of the Seed Trade Association, June 25 to 27. Mr. Page reports a most satis- factory business this season, with still a good demand for some varieties of seeds. He says there has been a strong demand for high grade seed corn and it has been impossible to obtain a sufficient quantity to fill all orders. THE SEED SEASON TO DATE. Everybody Satisfied. In spite of many forebodings, the seed season of 1912 has turned out one of the best on record, if letters now coming to hand are to be considered as voicing the general opinion — and there is no reason to suppose that the trade in general has had a less favorable sea- son than the houses writing the letters that have come into The Eeview office during the last few days. The report is that the total sales have made a new high record. March was a slow month, compared with last year, with some of the large houses, due to weather condi- tions, but the earlier months were ahead of last year, probably because of the cry of shortage in supply, and the rush has been even heavier than usual since the delayed spring actually has opened, so on the whole the volume of business is entirely satisfactory. The shortages of which so much was heard before the opening of the selling season did not cut nearly so much figure as was ex- pected. There were seeds enough. If the supply of one item was short, there was something ''just as good" to take its place, and the total sales of the average house do not seem to have suf- fered because of inability to sujiply the seeds called for. The letters make in- teresting reading. Extracts from them follow: Wm. Henry Maule, Philadelphia. The mail order seed season has been most satisfactory, notwithstanding a backward season. I account for this from the fact that last fall so many seedsmen were shouting "seed fam- ine." While as a matter of fact some items were crop failures, there was really plenty of seed to go around. For instance, we filled all our potato orders, with the single exception of Freeman, up to May 1, whereas many seedsmen have been returning money on their LAWN GRASS IN BULK AND PACKAGES BLUB GRASS RED TOP WHITE CLOVER For Lawna, Parka and Ccmctcrica ETC..

No doubt there are other good pianos, but the name Steinway on a piano is a synonym for quality par excellence, and the musician need look no further. A test is unnecessary — the mere name is enough. An instance of trademark value. Some think a cheap piano is good enough to learn on, but that is a sad mistake. No piano is too good for the beginner. The training a child gets on a bad piano is defective to such a degree that it some- times takes years to over- come. Piano training con- cerns the ears as vv^ell as the fingers, and a poor piano is to a scholar w^hat a poor tool is to a carpenter. Same prin- ciple applies to bulbs. The beginner must have good bulbs to begin with, especial- ly in lily bulbs. The best are none too good. It is foolish for an amateur to work with inferior bulbs. If you are a beginner in lily bulb growing, buy Horse- shoe Brand bulbs — the best produced. If you are an ex- pert you will buy them, too, because your experience will have taught you their com- parative value as against other brands. Send for the Book of Bulbology, contain- ing prices.

We filled all pound orders for French grown Golden Self-Blanching celery up to April 1, the latter part of March filling an order for as much as fifty pounds, and are still filling quar- ter-pound orders. While I hear that many seedsmen are returning large sums of money on orders they are un- able to fill on account of sold-out stocks, I believe we have returned less money than at any time in the last ten years; consequently I am well satisfied with the trade we have had. The one disappointing feature about this sea- son's business was the fact that we could not fail to notice that the boom in sweet peas was on the wane. H. G. Hastings & Co., Atlanta, Ga. We are pleased to be able to report an excellent season's business. In fact, it surpassed our expectations. Condi- tions in the south at the opening of our season in January were not such as would lead us to expect a large busi- ness, but we have been agreeably disap- pointed, and not only the volume of our business but the quality of it was ex- ceptionally good. Our garden seed trade was unusually large, as was also our trade on field seed, especially seed corn. The only item that seemed to be in short demand was that of cotton seed, for, while we had a fair business in this line, the demand was not up to previous years. During the last month our farmers have been a good deal hindered in put- ting in late planted forage and hay crops, such as are usually planted throughout the south at this season of the year, but even with this handicap we note that our business has surpassed previous records, and as weather con- ditions improve we feel confident that much of this delayed business will be sent in. We consider that we have had a most successful season, and have no cause whatever for complaint. Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia.

Arthur T. Boddington, New York. With regard to the season, we may state without prejudice that our busi- ness shows an increase of about sixteen per cent. The only month it fell be- hind was March over last year, the other months running far ahead.. The prophetic shortages of vegetable seeds did not materialize. There seems to have been plenty of stock to go around and there are several surpluses in many lines at this time. In flower seeds we note a continued increase in the demand for the Spencer type of sweet peas. There seems to be a falling off in the demand for tuberous- rooted begonias and an increase for better classes of gladioli. We also note that the demand for a long list of can- nas is shortening up and the demand is for less variety. We shall endeavor in the future to reduce our list to about half. King Humbert canna seems to be the most popular at this time and only about half of the orders for dormant bulbs were able to be filled. We find an increased demand for gloxinias and miscellaneous bulbs, in- cluding fancy-leaved caladiums and montbretias, also amaryllis. Tuberoses, 4 to 6-inch, and Japan lilies, including auratum and speciosum, were scarce. Our sales for roses have been unprece- dented, there being an increased de- mand for hybrid teas and ramblers. On the whole, our stocks have cleaned up well and our opinion is that the mail order business has been a success. We ascribe this in a measure to our high class catalogues and advertising cam- paign, both in the wholesale and retail departments. Joseph Breck & Sons, Boston. We are now (May 8) in the height of our spring rush in mail order busi- ness and counter trade and there is every indication that we are to have a most satisfactory and increasing busi- ness for the season.

The Album to hand: juBt what we wanted; send me six more.- F. L. Tomqulst, Benton Harbor, Mich., May 1, 1912. Album received. It is worth more than its price.— J. J. Kelley, Valley Falls, R. I., May 2, 1912. This Album was published in response to many requests from Florists who feel the need for an up-to-date book that can be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Commencement Flowers, Table Deco- rations and all cut flower work where it is not practicable to show the customer the finished article as it will be when ready for use. With this Album you can show the finished work, in beautifully printed pictures. Not only is the Album new, bright and up-to-date, but everything is in it — all the standard designs and many new and heretofore unpublished pieces. 96 pas:es, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beautifully printed on heavy glazed paper, handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear. No restrictions on its sale. 75c PER COPY POSTPAID $6.00 PER DOZEN BY EXPRESS [You will want to equip your undertaker and other selling agents with this helpful book. ] FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO., SOS S.

His nursery represents an investment of $15,000. The greatest problem before the nurserymen of the United States today is how to shape the business so as to get more planting days than nature provides. The only limit to the trade is the one imposed by the seasons. Fall planting and storage cellars help. What else can be done! THE DESTBUCTIVi; MOTHS. Little Iilkelihood of Legislation. There seems little likelihood of leg- islation at this session of Congress to authorize the Department of Agricul- ture to establish a quarantine against nursery stock from European countries whence may come dangerous plant dis- eases or insect pests, but eventually there no doubt will be some such law, probably along the lines of the bill to which the legislative committee of the A. A. N. has agreed and which is being pushed by the Department of Agricul- ture. In this connection the histories of the gipsy and brown-tail moths in a recent bulletin of the Department will be of interest: The Oipsy Moth. The gipsy moth (Porthetria dispar L.) is a European pest which was ac- cidentally introduced into Massachu- setts nearly forty years ago, and has B. & A.

The presence of this insect was first discovered in Boston in 1889, and the state of Massachusetts for a number of years kept up a vigorous effort to ex- terminate the insect, making large ap- propriations therefor. This work was abandoned, however, in 1900, but the conditions soon became so bad that appropriations were again made in 1905, and have since been continued Wood Labels Plain, Painted, Printed, Copper or Iron Wired.

In spite of the work of that state, the situation became so serious that the national government, particu- larly on the ground of the great danger that these pests would soon spread to other states, was called upon to assist, and since 1907 Congress has been making annual appropriations to aid in the work of control. The amount of this appropriation is now $300,000 an- nually. The gipsy moth has a wide distribu- tion throughout middle and southern Europe, northern Africa, and Asia, in- cluding Japan.

Seedling of American Beauty and an unnamed seedling, originated and introduced by Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas Co. 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.

[Continued from paare 89.] The brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrys- orrhoea L.) was imported by a florist in Somerville, a suburb of Boston, about twenty years ago, probably on roses from Holland or France. Its presence was not discovered until 1897, when it had already gained such headway that extermination was out of the question. Since 1907 it has rapidly spread, and its range now includes much of the coastal area of New England, including east- ern Bhode Island, the eastern half of Massachusetts, the eastern half of New Hampshire, and the southern half of Maine. Both sexes are strong fliers, and the prevailing winds during the flying season (July) have carried the insect northward and eastward, rather than southward and westward. Moths of this species have been taken as far away from Boston as St. Johns, New Brunswick. This insect is a serious enemy of orchard, forest, and shade trees and all ornamental shrubbery. In Europe it has a wide distribution, extending from England to the Himalayas, and as far north as Sweden and as far south as Algeria. It is a well-known orchard pest, and for many years laws have been operative in Europe requiring the property owners to clear their trees of the hibernating nests of this insect in winter. The damage to trees and shrubs by this insect is often severe. It has a special liking for pear and apple, but has a recorded list of over eighty different food plants. Thousands of fruit trees in the vicinity of Boston have been killed by this insect, and serious injury has been done to wood- lands and forests, not, however, equal- ing the damage by the gipsy moth. It does not seem to attack coniferous trees. One of the most serious results of the presence of the brown-tail is the poisoning of human beings by the hairs «hed by the caterpillars, discussed in an earlier paragraph of this publica- tion.

The Gateway to the South. Mothers' day easily came up to ex- pectations. All flowers came in for their share of the demand. Carnations, of course, cleaned up quickly. The re- ceipts at the beginning of this week showed how closely they had been cut. The growers still have their trouble. While the weather has been warm, they have had little or no chance to work their fields, for weekly showers hardly give the ground a chance to dry out. These rains, too, have somewhat re- tarded the bedding season. Still, grow- ers who specialize in this line are get- ting rid of their stock nicely. Last week was notable for the large increase in the supply of peonies, minia- ture gladioli and the strong demand for orchids. The store men used most of them for May Festival patrons. The supply of all other seasonable flowers is good and of suflScient quantity to easily meet requirements. All are finding a pretty fair demand. The green goods supply is ample and the stock is meeting with a good request. Various Notes. The Florists ' Club met May 13. There were a few more than the necessary quorum present. President Gus Adrian appointed a committee consisting of Charles H. Hoflfmeister, Eay Murphy, Al Heckman and Otto H. Hoflfmeister, to arrange the details of the annual pic- nic. After the meeting those present heard of the arrival of a baby boy at the home of Wm. Schumann. They im- mediately called him on the phone and each oflfered individually their con- gratulations. J. A. Peterson sailed for Europe May 11. Mr. Leedle, of the Leedle Kosery, Springfield, O., was in the city for the festival last week. Messrs. Alex Ostendarp and A. C. Heckman, of the Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange, report that their Mothers' day business, their first one, fully came up to expectations. Peter Weiland, of New Castle, spent Saturday and Sunday in this city. Samuel Batson, Kalamazoo, Mich., has been sending fine double stocks to L. H. Kyrk.

Despite the fact that Mothers' day was rainy, the demand for white carna- tions far exceeded the supply of good stock. The call for other flowers was light. White sweet peas sold well dur- ing the early part of the week, and roses also moved to advantage, but on Sunday none seemed to want them. An advertisement a full page in length and four columns wide was the way in which six enterprising florists called at- tention to Mothers' day, giving a brief history of its origin and intent. This advertisement did considerable to stim- ulate interest and much credit is due Z. D. Blackistone, Gude Bros. Co., Will- iam Marche, George C. Shaffer, J. A. Phillips and the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., who were its originators. Stock in all lines was plentiful enough to meet all demands, although the dark weather has done much to retard the cuts. There is plenty of funeral work to be taken care of and the usual num- ber of weddings, dinners and similar events which occur every year during this month. The orchids that are now coming into the market are much bet- ter than they have been. The northern BEDDING PLANTS Aschmann Bros., The Hustlers, have their 10 and bloom, ready for immediate delivery.

BauBcher'a seemed to be considered the best place for it and the committee re- ported that May 21 and 23 were open dates with this concern. One or the other of these dates will no doubt be chosen. As the committee has been given full charge of all the arrange- ments, they were requested to expedite matters so that they can advise all the members of the club not later than next week just what may be expected. Various Notes. May 15 was designated by Chief Wag- ner as Memorial day of the District of Columbia Fire Department. Eighty- eight wreaths were borne in three sup- ply wagons to the various cemeteries, where they were placed upon the graves of deceased firemen. In addition to this, many individuals purchased wreaths and cut flowers. Gude Bros. Co. supplied the 800 ear- nations which were given to those who attended the Sunday evening concert at the Cosmos theater. Miss Margaret Boyle, who attends to her father 's business in the Center mar- ket, is still on the sick list. Miss Boyle became ill shortly after the Easter rush was over and has been confined to her bed since that time. Elmer C. Mayberry, who was struck some weeks ago by an automobile, is recovering slowly. At present he is vis- iting relatives in Prince George county, Maryland, and there hopes to regain his strength. William R. Smith, who has been on the sick list for a number of months, is improving wonderfully and is again taking interest in his work. David G. Grillbortzer is building an- other greenhouse on his place in Alex- andria, Va. Mr. Grillbortzer is prov- ing himself to be one of the most en- terprising and energetic young florists in this vicinity. He is the present pres- ident of the Florists' Club and an ac- tive member of the Retail Merchants' Association of his home city. C. L. L. Cambridge, Mass. — Thomas M. Nash, who purchased the business of Tuohy & O 'Toole, at 94a Hampshire street, about nine months ago, has been conducting the store under the former name. Now, however, he has placed his own name on the window. Middletown, N. Y. — James Meikle- john, who began business here last Jan- nary, has purchased the greenhouses known as the Flower Farm, on Grand avenue, of C. Z. Taylor. He will con- duct the greenhouses in connection with the store at 90 Wickham avenue. Not being able to give three places his personal attention, he will discontinue the store at 54 to 56 North street. Chrysanthemums 2i4-lnch pots, at $3.0O per 100 Glory of Pacific. Golden Eagle. A.

The regular monthly meeting of the Southampton Horticultural Society was held in the Odd Fellows' hall May 2, with Vice-president Julius King presid- ing. There was not much business to be brought before the society. The matter of chief importance at present is get- ting ready for the summer show, to be held July 24 and 25. A committee of nine members, with the vice-president as chairman, has full charge of all the arrangements for that event. The premium list is out and the total amount of prize money is $600, which should make considerable show. After the transaction of business, the members present had an interesting dis- cussion on the jVarious insect pests and the remedies for them. Secretary Ben Palmer gave a short talk on his wonderful success in grow- ing cucumbers outdoors. He sinks com- mon drain pipes two feet in the ground and plants his seeds close to the pipe. He pours a pail of water into the pipe once a day and has barrow-loads of cu- cumbers all the season, from one plant- ing. W. M. MILWAUKEE. Mothers' day was observed to a greater extent than ever before. Out- side of the booming by those of the craft, newspapers and preachers in most cases took Mothers ' day for a topic and the results were quite satisfactory. Our wholesale houses reported a brisk de- mand for white carnations for shipping orders May 10 and 11 and many calls on Sunday forenoon. Had the weather been more favorable (for it rained and was cool on Saturday and Sunday), the supply would not have met the demand, for it was pretty well cleaned up under the aforesaid conditions.

Almosit every florist knows our Araucarlas, therefore no argument is needed for our goods. We know what our customers want and need, and have provided for them and set aside special specimen plants of the Spring Importation 1911.

Business was quite brisk last week, with stock rather scarce. The weather was warm in the early part of the week, causing a sudden swamping of the mar- ket with sweet peas, but the latter part of the week found these well cleaned up. While our always optimistic wholesale house had anticipated quite a demand for Mothers ' day and was well prepared, the supply was not nearly equal to the call. Out-of-town orders were many, especially for white carnations. Local business far outstripped all expecta- tions, and not only white flowers, but carnations, peas and roses in all colors sold well. There was a marked short- age of green all the week. The local florists got together and in- serted half-page ads in the best papers Friday and Saturday. No individual florists' names were mentioned in these advertisements. In fact, little refer- ence was made to florists at all; it was merely stated at the bottom that the florists were prepared to handle all or- ders. Many people have to be shown, but the most pessimistic florist in De- troit is now fully convinced that in Mothers' day there is a future. Satur- day it rained until noon and on Sunday it rained all day, but there was a con- tinual stream of people in the flower stores. Nor did they buy cut flowers alone. Some bought plants for mother 's grave or a pretty rose bush to take home to mother. One noticeable feature was that few left orders for delivery, as they took the flowers home them- selves. Here is a point in favor of Mothers' day. Various Notes. Herman Klagge, who is now fully es- tablished in his own store, was the re- cipient of a handsome gold watch from Philip Breitmeyer, by whose family he had been employed for over thirty years. J. F. Sullivan's touring car took fire in front of his store on Sunday, May 12, and, but for the timely arrival of Martin Keukauf, of Bayersdorfer's, who emptied the contents of a large vase over the flames, the car would have been a total loss. Considerable hard feeling was caused among local retailers when a large ship- ment of carnations received from Chi- cago was advertised at 25 cents per dozen for Saturday, May 11. H. S. Avon, Mass. — Ember F. Oliver has been unable to supply the demand for stock and is building an addition to his greenhouses. rOlNSETTIAS (TRUE TYPE) JULY AND AUGUST DELIVERY We will have a fine lot ready early in July. 2^-in. pot plants.

Many cucumber growers have noted that when they uprooted dying plants the soil and the stalk and roots just below ground were simply alive with tiny white worms. It often is reported that the trouble comes just as the vines are beginning to bear and are nice and healthy, but suddenly they begin wilt- ing. A few die immediately; others hold out several days, but in a short time the entire crop is ruined. Upon pulling up some of the dead plants, great num- bers of tiny worms are found at the roots. These worms or grubs are the larvae of the manure gnats, which are found so thickly around stables and piles of fresh manure in hot weather. They lay their eggs in the fresh manure, and when they hatch they are tiny white worms. When fresh stable manure is used to spade into the soil in the green- house benches, which is usually the unknown. A grower who has once had them, however, can easily tell when he is getting them again, by the foul smell that is so noticeable upon entering the house. Fumigating to kill the old or mature gnats is a waste of time and money; they will die quickly enough in the greenhouse. Spraying the plants would not be of the slightest benefit, because they do not go on the foliage. The only effective method is either to kill the larv8e in the soil before they get to doing much damage or to avoid the use of horse manure. Many prepara- tions have been tried, usually doing more or less injury to the tender roots and not as much injury to the larvae as desired. Any of the nicotine products, diluted, will kill some of the vermin, but the cost is high. WHELOHEL'S LETTUCE HOUSES.

This pest can be avoided by using other kinds of manure, but there is no other manure so good or satisfactory as fresh horse manure for cucumbers, both to warm the soil and to furnish a good, well balanced fertilizer for the crop. Then, too, the damage is usually done before the grower has any warning of the approaching disaster, and when it comes it is too late to save the crop. The eggs are slow to hatch and the larvae slow to mature, so it is seldom that they do any damage for a month after placing the fresh manure in the houses. The period of serious destruction is not long. They seem to hatch out, fly against the glass and get stuck wher- ever it is wet, and die off as fast as they hatch out, so that the next genera- tion is not numerous enough to be of serious injury, if any at all. It is be- fore they get the wings that they do the damage. The worms resemble the larvae of the striped cucumber beetle, but are smaller. They are often mistaken for these, and thus their identity is often ers — although sooner or later most of them get to growing more or less pot plants and cut flowers. This is the establishment of W. C. Whelchel, of Danville, 111. One viey?^ shows the ex- terior, two houses 20x250, with a lean- to, and the other shows the interior of the west house. There is both top and side ventilation.

[An extract from an address by Montague C. Wright before the Florists' Club of PhUadelpbla.] The heating of a greenhouse is cer- tainly one of the most important fea- tures. It is here that one shovels his dollars into the furnace. Too much at- tention cannot be given to the installa- tion and management of the heating system. At the present time there are two mediums employed, steam and hot water. Both have advantages, but I believe it is pretty well established that heating by hot water produces the best results. Hot water produces a condi- tion more like the heat generated by the sun. Steam gives a more intense heat. While steam has proved satis- factory, it is a fact that the large flo- rists are more and more reverting to hot water as a heating medium. If steam is used the best results are ob- tained from 1^4 -inch pipes, and if hot water, 2-inch pipes if the system is a large one, or 3^ -inch pipes for a system heating a small range of glass. The pipes are placed along the sides of the house, hung to the side walls or under side benches. This, of course, depends entirely on the arrangement of the plant benches or beds. There should al- ways be some pipe laid through the center of the house. The number of pipes required, of course, depends en- tirely on the temperature required, the amount of glass surface, the extreme outside temperature of the locality in winter, the exposed or protected sit- uations of the greenhouse, the good or bad construction of the greenhouse itself and many other small details which are used in designing a success- ful and economical heating system. If steam is used, it should be a low pres- sure system, as the wear and tear on the pipes should high pressure be used REHITOI TRAPS The sooner the better. There is no time like the present time to make a change for the better. Bulletin No. 326- WF explains in detail, American Blower Gdmpany — ^— ^-^ DETROIT. MICH. • U. S. A.

The boilers may be set in a cellar the level of which is considerably below the level of the greenhouse. In such cases the condensed water is returned to the boilers by gravity. If the boilers are placed on the same level as the green- house, a pump of some kind must be used to return the condensation. It is the same with hot water. In a hot water system there are two ways em- ployed in generating the heat. The first and one most used is to heat the water Florists' Pocahontas Coal Shipped anywhere from coaet to coast.

The water is heated and then forced by the pump through the pipes in the green- house and back to the boiler. The pump V\. v.\ 118 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Max 16, 1912. may be operated by steam, electricity or gasoline. The old-fashioned plunge steam pump is, I believe, the most re- liable, but pumps driven by the other methods that I have mentioned have proved satisfactory. There are several advantages in heating by forced circu- lation and I believe it is the method which will be used in all large plants in the future. In the first place, the size of the pipe used for the mains and heating coils can be smaller than in a gravity system. The water returns to the boiler at a higher temperature, thereby making it possible to heat a house more evenly. In small and medium sized plants boilers constructed of cast iron are used almost exclusively. A cast iron boiler has many advantages over a steel tubu- lar boiler. In the^rst place, cast iron is not so susceptible to the chemicals •contained in waterV-it does not de- teriorate with rust so readily, and does not require to be bricked in. Being made in sections, it is easily set up or taken down. The flues are large, conse- quently do not get choked up as readily as in a tubular boiler; the flues are also easier of access in cleaning. A cast iron boiler, when properly made and rated, will carry a fire throughout the night without attention, while a tubular boiler requires, to get good results, night firing. By using two cast iron boilers and connecting them together, one boiler may be used in mild weather, thus reducing the cost of operation, while in a tubular boiler it is necessary to use the entire boiler. If the greenhouse plant is a large one, say containing over 35,000 square feet of glass, tubular boilers are without doubt the most practical for many rea- sons. Forced draft, allowing small sized coal to be used, has been successfully introduced in many large plants. This, of course, requires power to operate the blower, pumps, etc., but the saving in being able to use a cheap grade of coal more than offsets the cost and opera- tion of the machinery. I am sorry that I have not more time at my disposal to go into the subject •of heating more fully. It is one that is full of pitfalls, even to the initiated. What I have said outlines the general principles. The ratio of determining the number of pipes to the glass sur- face, capacity of boiler required, the distribution of and grading of pipes, size of mains, etc., should really be left to a reputable greenhouse concern or a heating engineer. Some growers, espe- cially the beginners, consider the super- structure the all-important question and the heating but a minor consideration. If they would only realize that' one is just as important as the other there would be fewer unsatisfactory heating sys- tems designed and installed, their bank accounts at the end of the season would be considerably larger from the saving of labor and coal and the larger returns obtained from the sale of their more perfect stock or blooms.

Ev€' spring we receive mail rush orders, telegraph and telephoi messages from growers who must fight Thrips and h^ neglected to keep TO-BAK-INE PRODUCTS on hand. To-Bak-Ine Liquid is the most powerful spraying insecticide known. Spraying is one of the most eco- nomical methods, as you can adjust the amount of To-Bak-Ine Liquid to just the strength wanted, and if the pests infest only a portion of the stock they can be eradicated there without going over the entire house. For Carnations use three teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water, and five gallons is enough to spray thor- oughly a house 100x25 feet. ' For Roses use four teaspoonfuls of To-Bak-Ine liquid to a gallon of water, and five gallons of tl mixture is enough for each house 100x25. These directions depend on how badly the stQj is infested and on the season, but if used regfulai you can depend on clean stock at all times.

Blackman Floral Co. had a good supply of carnations for Mothers' day and 6njoyed a big demand for them, but says business is good at all times. Julius Niednagel & Sons are cutting lots of roses and carnations. Mothers' day was a good one for them. C. L. Niednagel is rushing work along to get his houses up and planted by July 1. Ben Kramer has moved to a store two doors from Main street on Eighth street, just across from the C. & E. I. station, and feels sure it will prove to be a better location. Miss Nellie Goodge has been busy lately. She has a big lot of planting out to do and one day last week had two men over at Boonville on this kind of work. Louis Fritsch sold all his carnations on Mothers' day. J. C. Elspermann is unusually busy these days. E. L. F. The most effective and economical material there is for Spraying Plants and Blooms.

Even if you are not building any new houses, there are probably many places in your present range that need more or less repairing. How about your benches? Why not chip in with your neighbor this spring and purchase A CARLOAD OF PECKY CYPRESS? You may not use all your portion this season, but the saving in price and freight will more than make up for keeping over a little till next year.

A Few Cents' Worth of Gas or Gasonne 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 hour. All Standard Machines are fully g^uar- anteed and if not satisfactory, may be relumed at our expense, and purchaee price will be refunded. Standard Pumping Engines may be used to pump directly into the pipe line and will give a 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 beat system to overcome your diflB- culties. Write fully about aj^jjossible sources of supply and the work to be done.

Adopting the successful downtown decoration scheme for the Civic Celebration last year, the Minne- apolis Garden Club has planned a pro- gram which will seek to place in the windows and about the entrances of downtown stores and office buildings miniature gardens of trees, vines and flowers. A committee of the club, headed by Mac Martin, has been work- ing on the plan since early in the winter. As a part of its work in advertising and promoting this scheme, the Garden Club recently published iji a local news- paper an article which occupied about three-quarters of H page, with several attractive pictures showing the plant adornment of some of the city's build- ings last summer. "The Garden Club," says this article, "contemplates making the downtown window garden feature an important part of its work this year and in succeeding years. Committee- men report that hundreds of feet of flower decorations have been ordered already. Ten florists have been pro- cured, equipped to undertake the work of furnishing greenery with which to beautify office buildings. Business men of the city, it is said, are practically a unit behind the movement." The ten firms of florists referred to, as being enlisted in the movement, are named in the article. They are as fol- lows: O. H. Carlson, Central Floral Co., East Side Floral Co., Hiawatha Gardens Co., R. A. Latham, Merriam Park Floral Co., Minneapolis Floral Co., E. Nagel & Son, Hans Kosacker and Will Bros. Co. Middlebush, N. J.— Edouard C. Mat- thes, formerly at Woodside, Flushing, N. Y., is now in business here.

Edwin Howes recently arrived in this city from England. Mr. Howes is an expert rose grower, having received his early training with such firms as Beck- with & Son and Lowe & Sawyer. For seven years he was propagator and grower for Frank Cant & Co., of Col- chester, during which time a great many new roses were introduced, in- cluding Lady Roberts, the only rose to receive two gold medals in a single year in Great Britain, that of the Royal Horticultural Society and the National Rose Society. The last live years were spent as foreman and grower for George Prince, of Oxford, during which time the success of the firm at the ex- hibitions was phenomenal; for two years in succession, 1910 and 1911, all the first prizes in the principal classes for tea roses were carried off. The D. Ombrain challenge trophy was won five times, also the China trophy two years at the National Rose Society's shows. Mr. Howes acted as judge at many of the principal rose shows throughout England. The good wishes of his former em- jdoyers and many tokens of their esteem accompany him to his new home in this American city. For the present he has accepted a position at Wandamere Park. W. H. ALVIN, TEX. In speaking of the cape jasmine crop, Ilillje & Buller, who are no longer in the jasmine business but who are in a jiosition to know all about it, say: "The crop around Alvin seems to be l)roniising, although it may be some- what late." Quite to the opposite effect is the re- l)ort from E. J. Sheffield, who says: "Owing to an unusually cold winter, the jasmine crop this year will not only be late, but the supply will be de- cidedly limited. There will be hardly anything for Decoration day. I will, I think, begin shipping about May 20. My supply will be so small that I will be unable to take care of what business I now have in sight."

" 'Build a Lord & Burnham Iron Frame greenhouse,' said a grower long in the business, when I was talking greenhouses with him. So I did. When I add to my plant it will be with more L. & B. houses. 'My L. & B. house was clear of snow while that house over there had icicles hanging from the eaves for weeks. It's the pa- tented Ice Clearing Eave Plate that does it. I grew 1000 bu- shels of ' cukes ' in ten months in the house. That's the main reason I like the house — by the results I Baldwinsville. , ,, Mass. got. Lord and Burnham Co.

Furnish the Materials for That Greenhouse The above Is an exterior view of the four movable houses, 35 ft. by 175 ft., which we furnished Mr. Stahelln, of Redford, Mich., last year. Mr. Stahelln was so pleased with the outcome of last year's experi- ment with movable houses, that he has placed his order with us for four more movable houses, 35 ft. by 173 ft. each, to be connected to the houses built last year. WHY BUILD MOVABLE GREENHOUSES? 1st. 2nd. 3rd. 4th. 5th. 6tb. 7th. The running gear and erection of movable portion of bouee cosis lees tban bencbee. Will last indefinitely. No bencbea to rebuild. CarnationB are planted in tbe spring in the place where they will remain all winter. This eliminates the work of transplanting in the fall. No changing of soil. Soil being turned over in the fall and exposed to the weather all winter, is in belter shape to receive a new lot of plants after replowing and manuring in the spring than soil hauled in on benches. The growth of the plant is not retarded by having its root system partly destroyed, as in trancplanting. (See cut.) The plant can therefore produce a heavy crop earlier than one grown by any other method. 8th. 9th. Plants can be allowed to stay out of doors longer, which makes a hardier plant ; producing a flower of superior quality. A more continuous crop can be obtained ; the number of flowers picked each month varies but slightly. 10th. In the old method flowers can be picked only for about nine months, the plants being thrown out in July to make room for the new. In the movable greenhouses flowers can be picked for the twelve months or until tbe frost kills the plant. nth. Have you ever noticed the abundance of stem rot or wilting occurring immediately after transplanting? This is caused by the plants being bruised in trans- planting. This is something you do not see in movable houses. What ia the space worth to you lost in this manner? (See cut.) This cut shows root system partially destroyed in transplanting. This cut shows a normal root system. (See paragraphs 6 and 11. ) The above construction is especially adapted for the forcini^ of Peonies, Asparagus, Rhubarb, Grapes, Peaches, Etc If you intend to do any Greenhouse Building, whether you want movable houses or not, it will pay you to write.

The Truth About the Iron Frame HOU hear a great deal about Pipe Frame, Sash Bar Truss, Pipe Supports and other styles of houses, but really the Iron Frame Flat Rafter House is the one to build if you want the best to be had. It is the strongest combination of steel members ever devised for greenhouse work. It is the best investment, for it outlasts all other kinds. There are different ways of building an Iron Frame House, and- yoU want to be sure it's the right construction. There is a limit to the width that can be built successfully without supports. You want to be sure the firm you buy from knows this limit. Don't use a heavy, wide rafter, which makes a lot of shade, and don't use one too small. The truth about the Iron Frame is that it is sometimes misused. If you want the right house, you want a Moninger House. Better let us tell you more about the right kind of Iron Frame House.

So if you are perfectly satisfied with your present run of trade and don't desire any increase, or don't care even ir you lose some, why, then you needn't advertise at all. I know of only one case of this kind, but there may be others. I have yet to receive any sound argu- ment in favor of anything but the year- round campaign. Now the bedding season is at hand, and Decoration day is just a few paces ahead, and then follows the commence- ment days and the June weddings, and during the summer season design work justifies a vigorous campaign of force- ful publicity. So there is always some- thing to talk about, and in an interest- ing way if you will only think and try. To Sum It Up. To summarize then : It is agreed that it is just as necessary for the retail florist to regularly and persistently ad- 16 The Weekly Florists' Review* May 23, 1912. vertise his business as it is for the drug- gist and the dry goods merchant, be- cause good advertising is an acknowl- edged builder of public confidence, which is an absolute essential to great and lasting business success; that news- paper advertising is the best form for the retail florist, as it keeps him in con- stant touch with the flower buying public; that honesty is the only adver- tising policy worthy of consideration; that the most successful advertisements are not overwritten and overdisplayed; that all advertisements should be illus- trated, preferably with cuts made from line drawings; that the beat time to advertise is when you want more busi- ness, which means — Well, I'll leave that for you to finish.

"It is an ex- cellent advertising medium and it is always on the job making deliveries and adding new customers at the same time," they say. The car has an es- pecially showy body, as will be seen from the accompanying illustration. THE SPRAY. Next to the wreath, the spray is the most popular form of Memorial day floral arrangement, and it may also be classed as probably the most popular of all for funeral purposes. The set piece has had its day in the better class of flower stores; people of discriminating taste are asking more and more for funeral flowers in which natural ar- rangement is followed; they do not want the flower heads picked off, wired and stuck in a bed of moss, no matter how well the work may be done. The illustration on page 15, of a spray of roses, is an excellent example of this popular form of arrangement. There is nothing stiff or formal about it and it may well be taken as a model by those not already proficient in spray making. BUSCUS THE SED. One of the leading florists' supply houses reports as a sign of the times that practically every order taken by its travelers calls for a quantity of ruBcus for autumn delivery, while many mail orders also call for this Christmas specialty. The fact seems to be that ruscus was the big seller last Christmas and many of the large retail stores ran short. It is these that are now seeking to protect themselves against another shortage next Christmas. There was a tremendous call for ruscus in December last year. It developed that some of the ruscus, when it arrived, was not of the right color; it was pink rather than red, and those who received this class of stock were much put to it to find a supply of the right article. Also there was a greasy looking ruscus that failed to fill the bill. What the trade wanted was a good bright red and the supply was a long way short of the demand. Just before .Christmas the real articTb was selling for $1 per pound, and as much as $2 per pound was obtained for small lots, when the off-colored stock was going begging. Apparently the big buyers feel sure that ruscus will again be the big seller next Christmas, for they are buying in much larger lots than last season. A STEAMEB IN FLOWEBS. Every retail florist has frequent or- ders for the reproduction of all sorts of unusual objects in flowers, the designs to be used for funerals. Ordinarily these freak designs are reproductions of some article with which the name of the deceased was associated. This was the case with a recent order which came to the Blind Floral Co., Pittsburgh. The florists were required to make a model in flowers of a river steamboat, the John Moren, for the funeral of its cap- tain. The picture shows the result. These freak designs never can class as art in flowers; they 'belong strictly on the commercial side of the business. But it nevertheless is the fact that one such design at a funeral, if fairly well e'xecuted, will attract more attention than a whole roomful of really artistic floral arrangements. A PACIFIC COAST CAB. Among the retail florists who have found the autonvobile a valuable asset and a means of ''(Juick delivery service is the Martin & Forbes Co., of Port- land, Ore., which is more than pleased with the advertising qualities and speed of the Buick car that has been in service for some time. The Rose City company is satisfied that it has extended the radius within which busi- ness can be handled conveniently, while the Martin & Forbes Co. figures that the publicity the car affords is an ad- QUDE'S PLANTS.

The weather was so mild that stock could be taken outdoors -v^ith- out wrapping. An auto truck of 8,000 pounds capacity was used in the haul- ing. The showing made by the truck- load of plants constituted a splendid advertisement. WHY TAKE CHANCES? In comparing the experience of The Review with what is reported by wholesalers of cut flowers, florists' supplies, and plants, one fact stands out conspicuously — the trade puts things off too long. It is the regular thing for The Re- view to receive on Thursday morning, after the paper is off the press, a num- ber of advertising orders intended' for the edition then in the mails. Espe- cially when a Special Number is issued, the next day's mail always brings instructions, sometimes of con- siderable importance, from advertisers who have acted too late. Take last week's Memorial day issue, for in- stance: Every advertiser was mailed a letter May 6 calling his attention that 5 P. M. Tuesday, May 14, was the last moment at which advertise- ments or changes of advertisempnts could be received. The same n(^tice appears in each issue of the paper. Nevertheless several changes in, in- structions arrived in Thursday mjorn- ing 's mail, some of them postmarked, a thousand miles away, later than 5 p. m. Tuesday — in one case the letter was dated Monday but not postmarked until 6:30 p. m. Tuesday. It is the same way with the whole- saler. He gets an order in the morping for flowers that were wanted shipped the evening before. Nothing is jsaid Buick Car Operated by Martin & Forbes Co., Portland, Ore. Mat 23, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 17 How a Washington Floriit Handl^ His Holiday Plants. about when to ship, so of course he sends them the day he receives the order — unless in the meantime he gets a telegram that makes the wires fairly sizzle with the superheated inquiry as to "Where in blankety blank is that stock that should have been on the morning train?" If it isn't one customer, it's another, the same thing over again. No allow- ance for a delay somewhere; fre- quently not so much as allowance of suflScient time even if everything goes as it should. And not sufficiently ex- plicit directions so that the writer's wishes are made clear to the one who receives the order. "Ship 1,000 car- nations May 10" is followed by "Why in thunderation weren't they all white?" "Insert this in a two- inch space" proves to have meant a space two inches deep across three columns, not what is said. And so it goes. An immense amount of friction would be saved if people would be ex- plicit and give their orders in time. STOCKING NEW HOUSES. Bert Clippinger, of the Clippinger Greenhouses, Laramie, Wyo., writes to The Eeview as follows, under date of May 11: "I thought it would be of interest to you to know that I have finally got my range of new greenhouses com- pleted and am growing stock for the spring business, which ought to be good this year, for we have had such bad weather that the people have not yet been able to plant any seed out- doors, and they will of course have to buy their plants for bedding out. "Mr. Westholder, who is conducting a flower store here, has had an excel- lent trade this spring. "I have four modern houses, 24x100, heated with hot water, and I intend to grow both vegetables and flowers the first year. ' ' I have been buying stock from a great many different growers and you should see the various kinds of in- sects and diseases .that I have gath- ered together, I think that the grow- ers who have their stock free from such diseases and pests had better take advantage of the fact by stating so in their ads, for they would surely profit by it, as I for one am in the market for a large quantity of stock, but hesitate as to where to buy, for I am pretty well supplied with rust, etc., already, and do not care for any more. I have received some splendid stock, also, from some of the growers, but they can not supply me with some that I wish. "We have about five inches of snow on the ground tonight and it is snow- ing fast now; the prospect is that there will be several more inches of the white covering before morning."

A River Steamboat in Flowers for a Pittsburgh FuneraL 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review. May 23, 1912. CO i « <5 f SEASONABLE ^ 1 ^ ^ SUGGESTIONS ^ I Begonia Incamata. Begonia incamata is a useful winter flowering variety. It cannot be grown into a really salable plant, however, in one season and for this reason is un- likely ever to be a serious rival of B. Gloire de Lorraine or B. Glory of Cin- cinnati. It is not in good flower for Christmas, but in January and February it far outclasses Lorraine. Well grown plants would easily command a fancy price, for as a house plant it is away ahead of Lorraine. Plants carried over from last year, if they were cut back and kept on the dry side for a few weeks, will now be producing plenty of nice, succulent cuttings, which will root readily in a cutting bench such as you would root roses in. The carried over plants, provided they have not yet re- ceived any attention, should be shaken out, repotted and stood on the bench in any light, airy greenhouse. Pinch back any runaway shoots. About the middle of June plunge these plants outdoors in a bed of coal ashes and they will make splendid, stocky plants for fall. They '•an also be planted outdoors with other fibrous-rooted varieties and, if carefully lifted, will soon establish themselves in pots and show little ill effect from their lifting. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. Now is the time when the old stock plants of Lorraine are producing cut- tings in abundance. These should be taken off every few days and placed in the cutting bench. Eooted cuttings ./Should be potted off before they become hard. It is a great mistake to leave cuttings of any kind too long in the sand, as they soon become hard and stunted, especially now, when the weather is so much warmer. The ear- liest batch of plants will now be ready for a shift into larger pots. Should their balls be somewhat matted with roots, loosen them a little with a pointed stick. Use a light compost; one which contains plenty of flaky leaf-mold is what they revel in. Lorraine and Cin- cinnati each like a fairly warm house and they do not like heavy shade, but just sufficient to break the direct sun's rays. Marguerites. For some weeks yet marguerites which have been grown fairly cool will give a lot of flowers for cutting. For Memorial day all flowers sell, and mar- guerites are always favorites. Not only will the cut flowers sell, but nicely flow- ered plants are in demand. These are not persistent bloomers, as are gera- niums, but a good many in 4-inch and 5-inch pots are annually sold to plant on graves or to go into window boxes. Do not tell your customers that these will flower all summer, as they will not, but they will do service for a few weeks, which is all that many ask of them. Cuttings rooted late and which are now small plants can be kept potted along through the summer, or, better still, be planted outside. With the white varieties, planting out is the best summer method of culture, as fine, big plants are produced, which lift easily in September. On the other hand, yellow sorts are more liable to go blind if planted out and we find they summer better if kept in pots plunged to their brims, and, furthermore, they seem to enjoy a little shade through the hottest months, such as can be af- forded by standing lath shades over them during the hottest hours of the day. Geranium Stocks. The demand for geraniums is now strong and Memorial day will see it at its flood tide in many places. We hope enough stock plants have been reserved to provide cuttings for another season, for too often growers never think of stock for themselves until the selling season is practically over, and, on look- ing around, they find that they have sold out almost clean on the more pop- ular sorts. This should never be done unless you are one of those who buy rooted cuttings annually and grow them on. There are no cuttings equal to good, home grown ones, and, in order to have an ample supply, the stock plants should now go out in beds or nursery rows. Never mind if you cannot fill every late order. It is far better to turn down a few of these than to deprive yourself of stock. Nerines. The nerines, or Guernsey lilies, will now be maturing tbeir foliage. The proper place for them is on the shelf in a cool greenhouse, or, if this is not at command, a coldframe will answer ad- mirably. Eeduce the water supply as the/ibliage starts to fade, but not too suddenly. In order to flower these charming plants successfully it is neces- sary to remember that they must have their root action restricted. They will not bloom unless the pots are matted with roots. From the time the leaves have faded until the flower spikes ap- pear in September they must be kept absolutely dust-dry, either under a sash in a coldframe, or by laying the pots on their sides or board shutters out- doors. The long summer baking is just as necessary as having the pots well matted with roots. Amaryllises. The flowering season for amaryllises is over and many growers are apt to seriously neglect them through the sum- mer. If fine spikes are wanted next winter they must have the best of atten- tion all summer. If an empty bench is at hand plunge the pots in it, using any old manure or leaves as a plunging ma- terial. This will keep the roots cooler and much reduce the necessary water supply. Give some shade, sufficient to prevent burning of the foliage, and spray freely on warm, sunny days. Cold- frames with the necessary head-room will answer well for their summer cul- ture where no greenhouse space is at disposal. Plunge the pots up to their brims. Give them some liquid manure occasionally. Leave air on night and day. Keep up this treatment and you will be astonished at the bulbs you will have next fall.

A few years ago the Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., recognizing the impor- tance of refrigeration as applied to the storing of bulbs, valley pips, etc., in- stalled a small refrigerating plant for the cooling of two rooms. They found that refrigeration was of considerable assistance to their business in keeping the bulbs in perfect condition, and, owing to the increase in trade which has taken place during the last two or three years, they were soon compelled to regard this cold storage space as much too small. Accordingly, they have just completed a concrete build- ing, the overall dimensions of which are 20x40x80 feet, and each story of which is now stacked with several hun- dred cases of valley pips. The building consists of two stories and each story has been divided into four rooms, which have been thorough- ly insulated with cork; slabs 18x30 inches, and 2% inches in thickness, were used for the purpose. After the floors had been put down, cement was laid all over them, the cork insulation being then set in and covered with a good coating of cement. The parti- tions and ceilings of the eight rooms, each of which measures 8^x17x32 feet, are composed of cork slabs joined to- gether with tar, and present a finished appearance, having also received a thin coating of cement. In the center of the building is an anteroom 10x14 feet, specially arranged for the purpose of handling the goods being conveyed into and out of the rooms, so that the tem- peratures in the various departments may be maintained as level as possible. Contiguous to this anteroom there is another handling space, between the outside entrance and the entrance to the anteroom, while at the back of the anteroom a staircase has been erected. The ground floor is entered directly from the driveway. A refrigerating plant of twenty tons' capacity has been installed by the Linde Canadian Refrigeration Co., and the various rooms have been piped with the direct expansion system, to main- tain them at a suitable temperature.

The compressor is of the horizontal type, driven by an electric motor. Each of the eight rooms is so ar- ranged that any one of them can be run independently of the others. This in itself is a distinct advantage, in that each room can have its own tem- perature, without in any way interfer- ing with the efl5ciency of the plant. Each room is fitted with exceptionally well built cold storage doors, costing $40 each. Taking everything into con- sideration, it may be readily estimated that the entire cost of such a building would not be far short of $16,000. The plant is so complete and up-to-date as to demonstrate clearly the firm's ap- preciation of the importance of me- chanical refrigeration in connection with the cut flower business. One of the illustrations shows the large, six-ton driving wheel which per- forms its important part in operating the machinery. The other picture gives a view of the south side of the newly finished building. W. G. P. THE PBIMBOSES. There are no other pot plants that, taken all in all, give so much for the money as do primroses; nor is there another plant that can be offered in so many varieties and in such exquisite colors. The well known Primula Chinensis is being continually improved, both in habit and beauty of shade; also in size of bloom, many of the new giant strain measuring two and one-half inches across. P. obconica, on the whole, seems to be the favorite of the primula family. The possibilities of this splen- did plant are, in my opinion, absolutely unlimited. I have often seen fine speci- mens in 6-inch pots with from twenty to forty stems of flowers, the indi- vidual blooms being much larger than a silver dollar. P. obconica gigantea produces larger blooms than P. obconica grandiflora, but not quite so profusely. However, the new giant hybrid strains of the lat- ter are a great improvement over the old strains. They also produce many beautiful colors: Sanguinea, blood red; Kermesina, rich crimson; purple, lilac, rose, blue, salmon and white. They are not only fine as pot plants and for cutting, but are excellent for design work, especially the white. P. obcon- ica gigantea so far comes only in three colors, red, lilac and rose, in spite of the fact that some seedsmen offer it in white. P. obconica fimbriata is a splendid new strain, beautifully fringed. P. ob- conica compacta is of fine, compact habit. P. malacoides, one of the latest introductions, is evidently a desirable acquisition. Its delicate lavender blooms are borne in great profusion, on long stems, above a beautiful mass of foliage. They are useful as cut flow- ers and last unusually well. P. Kew- ensis seems to be about holding its own. Its bright golden blooms and at- tractive foliage give it a unique place in the primula family. P. stellata, the star primrose, blooms profusely and is pretty, but its foliage, somewhat resembling that of Chinensis type, is produced rather sparingly. P. Forbesi, the baby primrose, is an at- tractive little plant of dwarf habit, offered now in two colors, lilac and red. Auricula, the Alpine primrose, grown in many colors, is a handsome plant, little known in this country, but much sought after in Europe. P. vulgaris, the hardy yellow English primrose, and P. veris, the English cowslip, and P. elatior, are_ all hardy plants and will stand the w'inters out- doors without protection. They also make excellent pot plants for Easter and spring. We are trying some new varieties this year, among which are P. La Lor- raine hybrid and P. Cashmeriana hy- brid, of which we shall be glad to give The Review an account later. C. G. James. Newark, N.

The water appears to be stored in a cistern, and if it is shut away from the air it might have an offensive odor without the presence of any coal gas. If the water has a yellow tinge and has an unmistakable coal tar odor, it should not be used for watering plants. In case the odor is of a putrid nature, it could be lessened by spraying fresh water into the cistern, or by adding a solution of blue vitriol at the rate of one pound to twenty to 100 barrels, the greater dilution being necessary if it is to be used for drinking purposes by man or beast. IS OOAIi TAB HABMTUIi? A customer of mine, who is a car- penter, has built a large window box and applied coal tar freely, both inside and out, to act as a wood preservative. I declined to fill the box, fearing the coal tar would be injurious to plant growth. Am I right? If not, why have I not heard of coal tar being used to preserve greenhouse benches? If in- jurious, what can be used to offset its effects? L. K. Coal tar is injurious to plant life. Whether it will be hurtful to plants placed in a window box which has been painted with it, will depend large- ly upon the amount of tar which has been used. It has been demonstrated many times that when greenhouse benches or heating pipes, especially the latter, have been painted with coal tar, it is impossible to grow plants suc- cessfully in such houses, even though the tar is scraped off and they are repainted. While tar used upon a window box, where the plants will be growing in the open air, will probably not be fatal to them, it would be safer not to use the boxes if much tar has been applied, unless it can be burned or scraped off.

The flowering season for Dendro- bium nobile, Wardianum, and many hybrids with nobile as one of the par- ents, is now practically over and the new growths are making considerable headway. It is neither necessary nor desirable to repot or rebasket these plants annually. With a large number all that need be done is to give them a little fresh fern fiber and sphagnum moss as a top-dressing. The sphagnum should be new and makes in itself an ideal surfacing. In fact, good den- drobiums are often grown in nothing else. What is needful when this com- post is used exclusively is to exercise more care in watering, as the moss is more retentive of moisture than is fern fiber or loam. Do not make the com- mon mistake of giving dendrobiums too large receptacles. They mature their growths better, are more easily ripened and bloom more freely in small pots, pans and baskets. Always be sure to give them liberal drainage. To increase the stock of dendro- biums, old bulbs which have bloomed, and which are often cut out a year after flowering, can be cut into pieces or laid full length in a mixture of sand and sphagnum, on or below a bench where they will not dry up too much or get any drip. Give them an occa- sional light spraying. These will make an abundance of little growths, which will not flower the first year, but if placed in pans or baskets later will flower well the second season. It is always well to start a fresh batch of these dendrobiums each year, in order to keep the stock tuned up, to use a common phrase. All dendrobes when making their growth enjoy a hot, moist house and should be syringed over every fine afternoon. Phaius. Those stately and attractive terres- trial orchids, the phaius, are not much grown commercially, but they at once attract attention at any exhibition, and, as their culture is not at all dif- ficult and they have excellent lasting qualities, there is a prospect that they will be more grown in the future than they are today. P. grandifolius is the oldest and most popular species. It is also still one of the best when well grown. P. Norman, P. Wallichii, P. Cooksonii and other varieties are all well worthy of culture, the hybrids raised by the late Norman C. Cook- son being particularly good. Phaius grow well in a compost of equal parts fibrous loam and fern fiber, to which is added some old, well dried. lumpy cow manure. While many or- chids are better potted with their bases rounded above the tops of the pots or pans, in the case of phaius it is bet- ter to have their bases on a lower level, to allow ample space for water. Dur- ing the growing season phaius require abundant water supplies, and in the case of well established plants liquid manure once in ten days is also bene- ficial. These plants need a good light — not bright, direct sunshine, but they are spoiled by heavy shading. They grow well at the cool end of a cattleya house, but will thrive in almost any ordinary greenhouse if they can be given the warmer end of it in winter. The Cattleya House. Those who shaded their cattleya houses heavily in early April have seen abundant reason to regret it since that time, as the spring of 1912 over a large area of the country has given us a great deal of cold, damp and sun- less weather. While orchids may keep green and not seem to mind it, when heavily shaded their growths are soft and not to be compared with those produced on plai^ v. getting stronger light. Tkose who were fortunate enough to have lath or cloth roller shades on their houses are in the best position, as tli^eir plants will be in far better condition than those kept in constant shade. The general practice is, and has been, to shade cattleyas too much. The dark green plants which win ap- plause do not, as a rule, flower with the freedom of the paler colored ones. There are but few days now when cattleyas cannot be sprayed over once a day. A fine, misty spray should be used and not the direct stream from the hose. Ventilators now need never be closed, night or day. A close, moist atmosphere will cause roots to run out- side rather than inside the pots, and when this occurs the growths always prove disappointing. Keep a sharp watch for the dread cattleya fly. Watch the young growths and, if they are much swollen at the base, cut them open carefully and the chances are that you will find a brood of young flies, in many cases ready to take wing and continue their work of destruction. Wage a relentless war against this foe and you will gradually overcome it. As to the temperature, 58 to 62 degrees at night is high enough, with 10 de- grees rise in the daytime.

The near approach of ^Memorial day has h.ad a noticeable el'fect on supplies, and on carnations more especially prices lia\(' adxanced. Ordinary Ibtwers are worth ^'A to ."r' I per luiiidred and specials more. Tliese \alu<'s are likely to be doubled a week hence, as carnations are not in large crop and local demaiuls are exceedingly liea\y. Thanks to the cool Aveather, wliich lias continued right through the present month, the carna- tions are of remarkably (ine quality. Hoses never mak(> any particular ad- vance for Memorial day and, while they are still moving fairly well, they will probably not rise in price next week. Most of the growers will have a heavy cut. Sweet peas are selling finely, espe- cially the Silencers, which aie now com- ing iu from a good many growers. Bulb- ous stock from outdoors is abundant and the late Darwin and cottage tuli[is have stems of remarkable length. Antirrhinums have gone a little slow of late, but there will lie a great call for them in the next few days. Mig- Tionette is poor and about done for the season. ^Marguerites are fine and in de- mand. Ten weeks' stocdvs and feverfew are seen in some (|uantity. They are useful for Memorial day bouquets. Gla- dioli, such as Pea(di Blossom and Blush- ing Bride, are abundant and quite a few of America, Augusta and others of the (iamiavensis type iwo arriving.

With fancy peaches retailing for $1 each well into July, nectarines at $1 each all summer and fancy strawberries retailing as high as $6 a box in March, I believe with the increasing demand for good things for the dinner-table that fruit growing under glass could be made a profitable business." There was a long discussion on the proper planting of trees and shrubs. On the exhibition table there was a finely fruited plant of May Duke cher- ry, also dishes of cherries from James Marlborough. George F. Stewart showed a new hybrid calceolaria that was awarded a report of merit. T. H. Westwood staged Daphne Cneorum. W. VV. Edgar Co. had Lilium candidum in fine shape. W. N. Craig showed Phlox Miss Lingard. Club Field Day. After a soaking rainfall May 16, tha Gardeners' and Florists' Club's outing at Soath Lancaster May 17 had ideal weather. A party of forty left the South station at 10:05. Others joined at South Framingham, and at Clinton the members of the Ladies' School of Horticulture swelled the number to sixty. Barges carried the visitors through a charming country, where the roads are bordered by majestic elms, to the estate of Bayard Thayer, where William Anderson is the presiding hor- ticultural genius. The newly made Italian gardens were first inspected. Some pretty water effects were noted. Evergreens, climbers and twiners in va- riety here take the place of the masses of showy flowers usually seen in Amer- icanized Italian gardens. A bountiful lunch was served on the spacious piazza, which stands on high ground and commands a glorious view of a wide stretch of country. After the inner man had been abundantly ap- peased a group photograph was taken, following which the borders of choice lilacs, which were just coming into flower, were inspected. A move was then made to the new walled-in garden, where were to be seen the tulips, nar- cissi and other spring flowers in great variety. A broad grass path through a pergola of rambler roses led to a charming tea-house. The side borders were planted with choice shrubs and the walls will soon be covered with climbers. Some 38,000 tulips were seen in flow- er, while some of the earlier sorts had passed. There was a beautiful display of the Darwin and other late sections, such sorts as Picotee, Fulgens, Bouton d'Or, Geaneriana and White Queen be- ing planted in thousands. All types of narcissi were well represented. After some time had been spent in this garden the party gathered in the tea-house aud Vice-president Kennedy had short ad- dresses from some of those present. W. N. Craig spoke for the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, F. E. Palmer for the florists, William Downs for the private gardeners, T. J. Grey for the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society, W. J. Stewart for the press, Miss Alderson, of the Lowthorpe School of Horticulture, for the ladies, and Charles Sander, of Arnold ^^Arboretum, for gardening in genera^'; j^r. Thayer in a f^w words expressed the pleasure the visit had given himself and Mrs. Thayer and hoped to see all present another year. Barges were again taken and a ride enjoyed through the beautiful 1,000- acre estate. One 20-acre stretch is de- voted to a collection of coniferoe, every- thing likely to prove hardy in New England being planted. Later the greenhouses were visited. Houses of grapes, peaches and nectarines carried heavy crops. A house of camellias planted out with Jasminum primulinum on the roof proved interesting, also an- other house with the beds planted with eucharis. In the orchid house some fine Lselia purpurata were in flower. Large numbers of huge Canterbury bells in 12-inch and 14-inch pots, four feet or more in diameter, were the finest we had ever seen.

Petunia Bar Harbor Beauty and tens of thousands of seedling kalmias and Scotch heathers were also noted. In frames were some 375,000 seed- lings of various ages of Kalmia lati- folia, many thousands of Scotch heather, azaleas, rhododendrons, pines and other evergreens and a large selection of the new Chinese plants collected by Messrs. Wilson and Purdon. In the grass land were to be seen 75,000 narcissi, the majority still in fine flower. Everything was in splendid condition and reflected the greatest credit on the able superin- tendent, William Anderson. Next a visit was made to the neighboring estate of John E. Thayer, and visitors were shown around by John T. Clark, the superintendent. The splendid speci- men conifers, charming flower garden, winding grass walks bordered on each side by masses of such narcissi as Queen of Spain, Burbidgei Vanessa, Leedsii, Mrs. Langtry, Barrii conspicuus, etc., proved most delightful, and the time arrived all too soon for the return to Boston, which was safely reached at 6:50 p. m., after a most enjoyable and profitable outing. Various Notes. William Sim has two big houses of Spencer sweet peas which will be in heavy crop for Memorial day. Outdoors he has two acres planted out from pots and a similar area sown outside in scores of varieties. These are all doing finely and should be much in evidence for the big sweet pea show in July. We regret to report Superintendent J. A. Fettigrew, of the Boston Park System, and Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, as both seriously ill. At the Blue Hill Nurseries, South Braintree, Julius Heurlin has a fine collection of choice lilacs on their own roots which are flowering profusely. Henry M. Eobinson & Co. are pre- paring for the heaviest business in their history. Advance orders are large. Memorial day talk now fills the air. The outlook is for a heavy cut of roses, but carnations will not be overabundant and are likely to bring high prices. There are likely to be more outdoor flowers than in some years, for lily of the valley, late tulips and lilacs are all likely to be in fine condition and will help out a lot. There will be heavy cuts of feverfew, stocks, gladioli and snapdragons. Peirce Bros., of Waltham, will have their usual heavy cut of many thou- sands of astilbes for Memorial day, in addition to large quantities of mar- guerites, carnations and other flowers. The Flower Growers' Sales Co. is pre- paring for a heavy Memorial day trade. The T. J. Grey Co. reports seed busi- ness as still quite brisk. The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. and Farquhar & Co. make similar reports. W. N. Craig. OBITUABT. C. L. Brunson. Carroll L. Brunson, 54 years old, the pioneer florist of Paducah, Ky., died on the morning of May 16, at his home, 1309 Bloomfield avenue, after a six months ' illness of paresis. He was born October 1, 1858, at Kenton, O., and re- moved to Paducah in May, 1890. In the spring of 1891 he established the firm of C. L. Brunson & Co. and built the first greenhouse in the city for the growing of cut flowers. This was a decided in- novation, for the use of cut flowers was then almost unknown in the community. The first order received by Mr. Brunson was for one dozen roses, which were returned with the explanation that the customer wanted * ' roots and all. ' ' One lady remarked: "The business will fail, for who wants flowers in the winter time!" However, the work of educat- ing the people was carried on pluckily and perseveringly, until there was a good demand for flowers for all occa- sions. Mr. Brunson was an accomplished mu- sician and presided at the organ of the Grace Episcopal church last year for a short time. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church. The funeral services were held at his residence on Monday, May 20, and the interment was at Oak Grove cemetery. He is survived by only his father, J. M. Brunson. His sister, Miss Sallie Brunson, died Octo- ber 8, 1882, and his mother died August 15, 1890. A. T. Linn. A. T. Linn, of Charleroi, Pa., died recently at his home in that city, at the age of 63 years. Besides being head of the firm of A. T. Linn & Sons, pro- prietors of the Allenwood Greenhouses, at Charleroi, Mr. Linn was a stockholder of the Finleyville Floral Co., at Finley- ville. Pa. He was actively connected with the Finleyville company until 1909, J y^%<-\7- f f_'-7;^ y^-^vy^, ^^ ^?^^iiaikj|g^|ii|_lpi|^M||l^igi)|{tHV,iP|l.^«^IMnif.||lJI!P|llllJI. Max 23, 1912.

Mr. Linn was highly respected in the trade and out of it, and will be greatly missed by all his acquaintances. He is survived by his wife and a large family of children. Mr. Linn's funeral was held May 19, from the residence in Finleyville, there being a large quantity of flowers and an attendance of almost 3,000 people. Peter 0. Wilson. Peter C. Wilson, who for twenty- seven years had been employed as su- perintendent for James Weir, Jr., & Son, at Fifth avenue and Twenty-fifth street, Brooklyn, N. Y., died May 10 at his home, 263 Ninth street, Brooklyn, at the age of 68 years. He had been confined to his home for the last five months by rheumatism and a complica- tion of diseases. He was born in Man- hattan, June 21, 1843. He had belonged to Putnam Engine Co., Volunteer Fire- men, and was the first president of the Putnam Club, which was organized after the fire company's dissolution and which met at Third avenue and Twenty- fifth street and was once a power in the Eighth Ward. He was the treas- urer of the Brooklyn Veteran Volun- teer Firemen's Association at the time of his death and belonged to the So- ciety of Old Brooklynites. He is sur- vived by Mrs. Wilson, and by two sons, Harry and Frank. William McMurray. William McMurray, of Wapakoneta, O., passed away May 19, following an attack of heart failure. Mr. McMur- ray's health had not been of the best during the last year or more, but the members of the family were not pre- pared for the end so soon. The de- ceased was the son of Joseph and Mary McMurray. He was born April 10, 1858. His parents died early in Mr. McMurray 's life, and several brothers and sisters also passed away when Mr. McMurray was young, so that he is. the last member of the family. June 29, 1879, he was united in marriage with Bachel Shawber, and to this union were born three children, namely Mary Mc- Murray, who passed away some years ago; Eobert McMurray, now residing in Bellefontaine, and Mildred McMur- ray, of Wapakoneta, who survive, with his wife, to mourn his death. About twenty-seven years ago Mr. McMurray started a greenhouse and ever since he had been actively engaged in his work as florist, giving the years of his life most devotedly and earnestly to the work of the now flourishing business. Mr. McMurray was a member of the Royal Arcanum. Funeral services were held May 21 at the residence. Inter- ment was in Greenlawn cemetery. The Royal Arcanum lodge had charge of the services at the grave. John Pearson. John Pearson, for many years a florist on Monticello avenue, Jersey City, N.J. , and one of the most esteemed residents of the 'Ninth Ward, passed away Sun- day, May 12, at his home, 283 Monti- cello avenue, after a long illness. He was a member of Zeredatha Lodge, No. 131, F. and A. M. A son and daughter survive him. Funeral services were held at his late home May 14, the Rev. Dr. Oeorge Daniel Hadley, rector of St. John's P. E. church, officiating. Inter- ment took place in the Arlington ceme- tery. ••••• BUSINESS Zr. NOTES Des Moines, la. — The Wilson Floral Co. secured the contract for the plant- ing of the grounds at the Polk county courthouse. Dajrton, O. — ^Mrs. Ruby A. Leslie, daughter of George Bartholomew, of the Miami Floral Co., is convalescing from an eight weeks' siege of typhoid. Pueblo, Colo.— The Pueblo Floral Co. opened for business May 15 at 508 North Main street. The business will^^ be operated by Mr. D. Marsh, who has engaged in the same line in La Junta for the last five or six years. Milford, Mass. — Gardner B. Metcalf, who has been associated with his father as a market gardener for many years, will sail from Boston May 28 for an extensive European trip. Mr. Metcalf will combine business with pleasure and expects to be gone more than two months. Anchorage, Ky. — Louis Weber, man- ager for the I. W. Bernheim estate, says shrubs were considerably damaged by the hard winter, but that everything is again in good shape. Fred Taylor has bought the place formerly run by Mr. McNally and will devote it principally to vegetables, with a few flowers. Bettendorf, la. — The J. W. Davis Co., which last season put up three Lord & Burnham iron frame greenhouses each 43x600, has recently placed an order with the Chicago office of the concern for two similar houses, 64x600. This is a vegetable range that some day may be used for cut flowers or pot plants. Valley Junction, la.— The W. K. Fletcher Bulb & Floral Co., which makes a specialty of outdoor flowers, reports being completely sold out of dahlias, orders having exceeded the supply. Dr. Fletcher, the dahlia specialist of the concern, was thrown from a wagon in April, suffering the fracture of two ribs and other injuries. It will be some time before he is able to attend to business. Memphis, Tenn. — J. W. Moore, pro- prietor of a greenhouse at 791 South Dudley street, shot George N. Garner, aged 18, in the thigh at 11:30 p. m. May 15. Moore told the police he caught Gamer and a companion in the green- house taking carnations. He captured the wounded boy where he fell, but his partner escaped. When found. Gamer, the police say, had about $10 worth of flowers in a bundle wrapped in a news- paper. He was not seriously injured. Madison, N. J. — Charles H. Totty has received an order for a shipment of Sunburtt roses for the Duchess of Con- naught, Government House, Ottawa, Can. This places Mr. Totty in the list of thosp honored with royal patronage. He and .he other American florists who have gone to visit the great show in London will be the guests of Leopold de Rothschild on Friday, May 24, at Gun- nersby Park, near London, and later at Ascott Park, Bedfordshire, owned by the same gentleman. At both places Mr. Rothschild will entertain in person. Maiden, Mass. — Neil E. Boyle, of 295 Salem street, is erecting a large green- house on his property on Joseph street. Jackson, Tenn.— The James & Nelson Floral Co. is erecting a greenhouse on East Deaderick avenue, at a cost of about $2,000. The greenhouses on High- land avenue are now much too small to supply the needed flowers for the firm's trade. Cedar Falls, la.— Joseph Bancroft & Son state that the proportion of white flowers purchased at their store for Mothers' day was about forty per cent of the total sales. Carnations and roses sold better than last year. On the whole, the business for the occasion was highly satisfactory. Dayton, O.— Warren G. Matthews' new store, at 32 South Main street, was formally opened just in time for the observance of Mothers' day, and the window display was both attrac- tive and appropriate, consisting prin- cipally of a tasteful arrangement of white carnations. A large electric sign will be hung in front of the store. Charles City, la.— Arthur M. Brisco, at present m the florists' trade at Ros- coe, 111., is preparing to build two greenhouses, each 29x132, on a half acre of ground which he recently pur- chased here. This piece of land is situated on the east side of the drive to Chautauqua park and just north of the bayou bridge at the end of Gilbert street. It is said that Mr. Brisco will close out his business at Roscoe and ship his plant here. Doylestown, Pa. — The Darlington brothers, Hilborn and Henry, are plan- ning to build two more greenhouses. At present they have four modern houses, of concrete and iron construction, but are unable to grow enough roses and carnations to supply the demand. Much of their knowledge of the business was acquired under the guidance of their father, the late Dilwyn Darlington, who was connected for many years with the firm of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. Abilene, Tex.— H. Watters, of the Pine Street Nursery, is planning to build an addition to his plant houses and enlarge the space used for propa- gating. Business at his place has been unusually good. There has been an abundant rainfall this spring and out- door crops look promising. He says that Mrs. C. R. Lee, of the West Texas Floral Co,, has evidently had a heavy trade also, judging from the way in which the quantity of her stock has been re- duced, Buffalo, N. Y.— Henry Weber, who has been conducting a store and green- houses at 2692 Main street, will dis- continue business there at the expira- tion of his lease, July 1, and will re- move to Springville, N, Y., where he will grow stock for the Buffalo market, besides supplying the local trade. He will be succeeded at the Main street place by Leo Alberts, who has leased It for two years, Mr. Alberts is fore- man, at present, of the city green- houses at Humboldt parkway. . » The Weekly Florists* Review.

Vincent, Jr., White Marsh, Md.; vice-president, August Poehl- mann, Morton Grove, 111.; secretary, John Young, 54 W. 28th St., New York City; treasurer, W. F. Kasting, BuflTalo, N. Y. Annual convention. Coliseum, Chicago, 111., August 20 to 23, 1912. r Index to Advertisers Page 110 Eesults bring advertising. The Eeview brings results. With Pacific coast growers in a posi- tion to offer healthy bulbs of Harrisii lily grown from seed, an important new industry may .be said to have been opened up. 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. Have you seen any Mothers' day ad- vertisement that did not contain "White flowers for Mother's memory; bright flowers for Mothers living"? Neither have we. The phrase has been used from Portland to Portland, from St. Paul to St. Augustine, and it furnishes still an- other demonstration of how widely The Eeview is read and how generally its sug- gestions are followed, even by its com- petitors. The directors of the American Peony Society have decided to hold the annual meeting and exhibition for 1912 at New York State College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y. The exact date will be announced later, the aim being to hit the height of the season at Ithaca, so that the bloom in the trial plots will be at its best. President Farr and Secre- tary Saunders are laying plans for an interesting program. ADDRESSES WANTED. A firm of attorneys at Toledo, who have been retained by a florist to de- fend him against action on notes given to the Eoyal Co., Iowa City, la., wishes to procure the names of other florists who have had unsatisfactory dealings with the Iowa concern. The point that requires proof is that the "inno- cent third party," to whom the notes were transferred before maturity, was not "innocent." If you have had dealings with the Eoyal Co., write to The Eeview telling the details, satis- factory or unsatisfactory. WORTHY WIDEB! A subscriber who has had his money's worth in the last year sends $2 to make sure of getting The Ee- view for the next 104 weeks and says "it is worth wider circulation." Why, bless your heart, friend, in the trade practically everybody who reads takes The Eeview and that's all we want; this is exclusively a trade paper. And you may be sure every "new begin- ner" in the trade gets The Eeview the first thing. Circulating The Eeview is the least of our troubles. It circu- lates itself. HAVE YOU A SURPLUS? The numerous letters received hy The Eeview stopping classified plant advertisements with the statement that the stock has been cleared out show that there is the usual shortage- of spring plants again this year — ^the demand is increasing even faster than the supply. Those who have stock they do not need for local trade should offer it at wholesale now, before the season is^ over, when they can get quick clear- ances, as these advertisers did: We have no time to figure up how many dol- lars' worth of pansy plants we have sold as the- result of our ad In The Review, for we have beea too busy filling the orders and repeat orders. Anyway, we are satisfied with the Investment ln> space.— Wm. Toole & Sons, Baraboo, Wis., May 13, 1912. Please stop my advertisement of pelargoniums; all sold; the last shipment went to Mexico City,. Mexico. The Review seems to go everywhere. — Alois Frey, Crown Point. Ind., May 13, 1912. Please stop my classified ad of vlncas; rooted cuttings all sold, thanks to The Review.— M. M.. Lathrop, Cortland, N. Y., May 13, 1912. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. Continued cold and unseasonable weather caused a change in the market during the last week and with the close of the week came unusually good prices for stock that was really marketable.^ Although the greater demand was for the best stock, so tight did the market become that May 17 and 18 almost any kind of stock could be disposed of at fair prices and in some cases really ex- cellent stock brought almost holiday returns. Eain and cold together combined to hold back the supply and, as the week progressed and still no change in the weather, the crops began to drop off rapidly, it being noticed that the ship- ments were becoming more infrequent, and smaller in quantity. The result was that prices advanced from fiair to good and from good to better until many of the commission men began sending out calls to growers for more stock. Carnations, roses and sweet peas be- came scarce; that is, there were no more- than needed to supply the demand and in some cases a hurry call for any of these took longer than usual to fill, but few orders were turned down. Tho call was greater for colored stock, Kil- larney and Eichmond being favored over White Killarney, but there was no oversupply of white on account of it, everything going at good prices. En- chantress carnations, which had been in oversupply at the fore part of the week, took on renewed life and with the red found much more favor with the contingent of buyers than did the white, although there was some fine stock of the latter and it was moved Mat 23. 1912.

PEONIES FOR DECORATION DAY, 4c, 6c and 8c Also a heavy crop of Beauties of fine quality Batavia Greenhouse Co* Greenliouses : Batavia, ni. L. D. Phone SMS Randolph Stores 30 E. Randolph St., CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write- without any great degree of trouble on the part of the wholesalers. Commence- ments were held responsible for the change in the demand, which will prob- ably hold good until the end of the graduation season. Sweet peas, affected by the weather conditions, began drop- ping buds and with the last of the week the supply of good stock was some- what short of the demand. Not so with the orchids, for cattleyas were prob- ably the only overabundant flower on the market, there being a general ship- ment of these, mostly Mossise, from all points and several New York shipments were added to the list, which did not, of course, tend to help prices upward. Of other stocks, gladioli were abun- dant in the various varieties, baby and fancy large flowering varieties coming on the market in quantities, with the demand fairly equal, although some glads were left as not of good market value. American Beauties were not overabundant and did not arrive in the large quantities that had been noticed in the early part of the week. The demand, however, was good and most of the stock was cleaned up, as good prices could be had for first-class qual- ity. Easter lilies continued to arrive in fair shipments and together with the callas cleaned up with the rest of the not overabundant stock. Novelties like Spanish iris, candytuft, snapdragon and mignonette moved along without much pushing during the latter part of the "week and not much of this kind of stock was to be seen with the opening of the market Monday, May 20, although there was enough to supply the demand. Daisies and marguerites failed to find much of a market and moved along slowly. Valley came in good quantities but was readily disposed of at good prices. The commencement demand on this has helped hold the price staple and with the approach of June, valley will be in good demand from now on. Peonies from southern Illinois have come in heavily since last report. There is no special demand for peonies before Memorial day and that part of the stock which was of the proper quality has gone into cold storage in anticipation of next week's rush. As usual, some of the stock, from novices or careless peo- f)le, is arriving in such condition that ittle can be realized; some buds are so tight they never will be worth any- thing, while some flowers are so wide open they are difficult to sell before they fall. From the best growers the stock averages rather better quality than usual. PEONY GROWERS!! We are sure of a heavy demand for Peonies and desire to add one or two more growers to our list. We want only first-class stock that will hold up and bring top prices. If you have the stock we have the market for not only Peonies but all kinds of seasonable goods. Write or wire how many and ship ahead. We will take care of all shipments. Erne & Klingel 30 E. Randolph St., CHICAGO Room SSI Phone Randolph 6678 Mention The Review when you write. Greens have failed to show much change, there being plenty of stock on hand and good shipments of southern stock have helped the quality. Memorial Day Prospects. There is every indication that the Memorial day business will go ahead of the best previous records. The day has been coming to the front rapidly, with nothing but bad weather responsible for such set-backs as it has received. The weather recently, cold and wet, has been of a kind to encourage the belief that if summer does not come in over night as it did last year, the Memorial day demand will be the heaviest ever known. It largely depends on the weather, but just a few days more of low temperature will be all that is needed. Unless the weather turns hot the qual- ity of the stock will be excellent, but the supply of carnations and roses will not be large. Only fair crops are on with those growers who have not thrown out a considerable part of their plants and the weather has been such as to hold back the cuts, with the re- sult that the peony looks to be the life- saver again, as in the days of old. In spite of the early reports that the peony crop would be light, it is said that the quantity in sight for next week's busi- ness is the greatest in the history of this market and that the quality is good.

While none of the details are yet officially an- nounced it is understood that August F. Poehlmann is the choice of the general committee for chairman of the execu- tive committee. There were some fif- teen members present at the meeting May 20. Invitations will be out in a day or two for the wedding of Marie Schmidt and Edward Schultz, which is to take place on the evening of June 8. It is to be a church wedding, Mr. Schultz Ii«8 charge of the Killarney department at the store of the E. C. Amling Co. and has many friends in the trade who will wish him happiness. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., says he is looking forward to Memorial day setting a new record for volume of business in this market. He believes roses and carnations will be in rather light supply, which will turn an even larger part of the demand than usual to peonies, which will be more abundant than ever and of excellent quality. "When met at the store of Kyle & Foerster May 20 Frank Schramm said he expects to hit Memorial day with a full crop of Spencer peas. He followed three houses of mums with sweet peas and now is getting the first pick, of splendid quality. "It's about time," he adds, ' ' for in this dark weather they have been dropping buds by the quart. ' ' Secretary A, T. Pyfer states that the attendance at the meeting of the Cook County Florists' Association May 16 was forty-two. The greater part of the evening was spent in the discussion of the by-laws, which will be formally adopted at the next meeting. A.

John Kruchten still is handling some good Bridesmaid roses, something not now frequently seen in this market, but says the grower will drop them next year as not giving the blooms that Kil- larney does. Erne & Klingel report a most busy opening week, there being both demand and supply, while the extra work of packing peonies for cold storage taxed them to the limit and called for addi- tional help. Jury service is taking up a good deal of Fred Hoerber 's time and Will Hoerber is still taking care of the mar- ket end as well as the greenhouse de- partment at Des Plaines. Bassett & Washburn are receiving figures on the new plant which is to be erected on the property, recently pur- chased, at Gregg's Station. The new plant, which will be located two miles west of the present place, will total about one million square feet of glass, or about one-third as much more as is now in use.

Michigan Ave., CHICAGO, ILL. L. D. Phone, Randolph 5449 MeutloD Tbe Review yrhea yoq write ST. LOUIS. The Market. The wholesale market was in good condition all last week; there was no oversupply apparent and some days they reported clean-up sales on almost everything except lilies and peonies. Stock in all grades and varieties was not nearly so plentiful as it had been for a month previous and prices stiff- ened up a cent or two on everything. Sweet peas went up to $3.50 per thou- sand, the extra choice bringing $4, and carnations are up from $1.50 to $3 per hundred. All light colored peonies are up to $6 per hundred. These are not yet overplentif ul and it is said they will be scarce this season. There have been plenty of good roses coming in daily, but as trade among the retailers was brisk during the week they were easily disposed of. Miniature gladioli sell well and the market re- ceived some good shipments of these during the week. Asters clean up daily, but are as yet limited to one shipper. Cape jasmines are beginning to come in and 'the market will soon be flooded with them. Extra good, long snapdragon holds up in price and has a good call at any time. Lilies sold well all the week, owing to an unusual amount of funeral work. There is also a lot of outdoor stock arriving. Various Notes. The long continued dull and chilly weather has much retarded the plant- ing business and the greenhouse men say they dread the rush that will fol- low the hot days to come. The light frost last week did not harm the plants already put out. The Betail Florists' Association did not hold its regular monthly meeting Monday evening, May 20. President Sanders and Secretary Geranios say that there is some important business to transact at the June meeting. The local seedsmen are at work mak- ing arrangements to take a large dele- gation to Chicago to attend the meeting of the American Seed Trade Associa- tion, which takes place there June 25 to 27. Fred Wallner, with the Connon Flo- ral Co., Webster Groves, spent a day in the city last week and reports that the stork left a big boy at his home. Adolph Brix, of the Brix Floral Co., says that his firm has been exception- ally busy all the week with funeral work. His banner design was a casket cover, costing $100. The funeral of State Senator Thomas E. Kenney used up all the surplus stock Friday, May 17. Every florist in the city had something to do for this funeral. There is talk of reviving the Florists* Bowling Club for practice and the selec- tion of a team to represent St. Louis in the bowling tournament during the S. A. F. meeting at Chicago next Au- gust. Two large conventions at different hotels last week helped the florists' business a great deal, as a great many flowers were used at both hotels and handsome plant decorations were made. William C. Smith and Frank Windier, of the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., celebrated their birthdays last week. The trustees of the Florists' Club, Messrs. Weber, Guy and Young, will get together sometime next week for an outing to look up a suitable place to hold the cliib's annual picnic. They are open for suggestions if any of the members have any good place in view. Charlie Wors has a force of men out ■ I -yri '^ *it kiiifiJ ■* ^ "- •* *' ^-'- ■V^f^M!''VJ^^ V"' . .

The cool weather preced- ing the present warm wave has kept most of the indoor flowers in excellent condition; to these may be added some good outdoor stock, making the aver- age quality high for the third week in May. The demand has kept up fairly well; there is no rush, but a moderately reliable call for cut flowers. It is the middle of the planting season, a time when the cut flower market is apt to be depressed. In contrast to that con- dition, the present situation is satis- factory. The superabundance of Beauties has passed; the low sales reported a week ago, of open stock to clear up, are less frequent now. There is little change in the conditions surrounding in- door flowers, excepting a lower price on carnations, white lacking the buoy- ancy of Mothers' day. Cornflower has arrived and some new crop sweet peas that are decidedly acceptable. Peonies are becoming more plentiful; the first of the local stock is promised when these lines appear. Some of the south- ern shipments have been stopped owing to heating in transit. Indications point to a good supply of peonies, carnations and roses for Me- morial day. New crop dagger ferns are arriving in good condition. Founder's Day. Girard College is rightly considered one of our greatest institutions. Mon- day, May 20, was Founder's day there, which is virtually alumni day, when with appropriate services the under- graduates entertain the graduates and all the world besides, marching for their benefit with school band and col- ors flying. An immense throng was present. Besides the graduates there were mothers, sisters, cousins — everyone seemed to have a personal interest in Tom, Dick or Harry and in the college itself.

The tomb of Stephen Girard was adorned with handsome plants, foliage and flowering, some be- lated azaleas giving a brightness to the stately surroundings. In front of these decorations were the floral tributes from the alumni. Greater New York and western Pennsylvania were repre- sented by appropriate offerings. The features of the outside planting were the pansies, bearing enormous flowers, and an erect, free-blooming, dwarf blue, lobelia-like plant that most be guardedly named, Mr. Cox not being at my elbow. Mr. Bedles' Departure. It is becoming generally known that the blight that for so many years has been threatening the life of our chest- nut groves is creating a new industry. Perhaps it would be safer to say broad- ening an old industry, the newness con- sisting of its application to chestnut trees in particular and to the new ma- chinery used in turning the wood into merchantable form. The vast private estates on Long Island at and near Oyster Bay are planted with immense groves of chestnut trees; these groves have been killed almost to a tree. Con- tracts have been made for converting the dead trees into telegraph poles, posts, boards and so on. So extensive is the work that it will take some years to carry it out in this neighborhood alone. The above brief description explains the cause for the departure of George Bodies from Germantown, May 16. Mr. Redles has accepted a position where his knowledge of forestry, of lumber and of botany is of special value. His loss to the Germantown Horticultural Society is irreparable.

Mr. Eedles is one of these men. For years the meet- ings of the Germantown Horticultural Society have been crowded with people ■w^ho came to hear him talk and who asked him questions. These people will still come, but they will miss him sadly. Mr. Redles has promised to return to the .Tune meeting of the society. His friends wish him success in his new enterprise. Various Notes. The Florists ' Club will have an outing on Thursday, June 6, at Washington Park, on the Delaware. A special boat leaves Arch street wharf at 1:30, takes a two hours' trip down the Delaware and arrives at Washington Park at 3:30 p. m. Then there will be a baseball game and sports, with prizes for the latter. A planked shad dinner at 6 o'clock is the last feature on the pro- gram. The price for each ticket is $2; this includes transportation on the spe- cial steamer going and on the regular steamer returning to the city. Edwin C. Jellett has received a memo- rial gift from the heirs of the late Miss Haines, of historical Wick, for the Ger- mantown Horticultural Society. The amount of the gift is $100, to be placed in trust, the interest to be used for two rose prizes to be contested for each year at the June meeting. The May meeting of Ihe Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was held at Horti- cultural hall, May 21. The schedule for the coming season was considered.

The replanting of Bride and Maid rose houses with Killarney and White Killarney created a lively business in lifted bench-grown plants, the wander- ing florists paying so much a house, re- moving the stock and marketing it where they could. So few Brides and Maids remained to be lifted this season that these middlemen are at their wits' end to secure stock. Conrad Hess, of Baltimore, was here a few days ago. Bernard Eschner is planning a cam- paign of extraordinary vigor for M. Bice & Co. Mr. Eschner says that all that has been done in the past will be maintained and an even higher stand- ard attained. He promises to put new ideas into practice that will broaden the field of florists' supplies. Kobert Scott & Son have their new rose house at Sharon Hill planted with two novelties, a pink and a yellow, and their own Double Killarney. Edward Reid predicts peonies for Decoration day from sheltered fields that have had special culture. Paul Berkowitz reports a heavy busi- ness for H. Bayersdorfer & Co. Mr. Berkowitz is greatly pleased over Mar- tin Beukauf's recently acquired abil- ity as a fireman, which adds another to his many virtues. The settlement of the coal strike in this state on Monday, May 20, which promises four years' peace in the an- thracite region, is good news for flo- rists. It appears that there will be little or no advance in the steaming sizes. The domestic sizes apparently bear the burden of concessions to the miners. The loss through the 50-day strike in the mining regions was heavy. Leo Niessen reports the arrival of cornflower and new dagger ferns.

The Robert Craig Co. commenced work on the new greenhouses at Nor- wood May 20. Hugh Dickson and Mrs. Dickson, of Newtownards, Ireland, arrived here May 19. It unhappily appeared in this col- umn a fortnight ago that Maximilian F. La Roche was dead. Then followed an account, a brief account, of Mr. La Roche's life, with a few lines written in sadness.

Many days of rain, large shipments of roses and carnations, a flood of lilac and an abundance of everything all combined to force last week's cut flow- er market into almost a summer range of values. While the clean-up was gen- eral Saturday, May 18, the result was achieved only by a great reduction in prices and the aggregate results were far below those of the two weeks pre- ceding, A gradual improvement is now looked for up to Memorial day, when the extra call from the cemetery flo- rists, and the out-of-town demand, are expected to require all the stock that arrives. The effect of Memorial day in the city itself is not especially great. The next uplift to the market will be the June weddings and early announce- ments indicate a tremendous harvest. At the same time the sweet girl grad- uates will have their inning, American Beauties last week sold at from 20 cents down, and few of them brought over $15 per hundred.

These flowers sell well, as cut flowers, in jars and baskets, and in fancy China receptacles of all kinds. Pansy plants are used in the same way. In general, business is good, both wholesale and retail, and the supply of flowers is quite copious. However, there is no great waste of stock. Outdoor work is on in full swing and there is a big demand for bedding plants of all kinds and calls for the seedlings of annuals of all sorts. The two weeks of continued warm weather have rushed all of the outdoor planting, so that, with the preparations for Me- morial day, all hands are busy now in the planting realm. At present it looks as if there will be plenty of lilacs and tulips of the late varieties for Me- morial day, because of the lateness of the season. There will be an abun- dance of everything in the line of flowers. Hoses are excellent. Beauties are not overabundant, but they are good.

The Rochester Florists' Association held its regular monthly meeting at 95 East Main street, Monday evening, May 13, with President John Dunbar in the chair. Charles H. Vick reported that the date for the fall flower show was not fixed as yet, but it was the belief of the officers that early organization would be of distinct advantage in mak- ing the show a success, so the list of committees was announced. The chair- men of the various committees are as follows: General committee, Charles H. Vick; music, F. W. Vick; advertis- ing, A. E. Crockett; finance, W. L. Keller; decoration, F. J. Keller; ushers, E. P. Wilson; concessions, Mrs. John Dunbar. President John Dunbar gave an in- teresting address on "The History of the Narcissus." His talk was illus- trated with specimens of flowers which were furnished by Mr. Dunbar himself. A number of specimens were shown that would be profitable for commercial growing and florists were urged to grow TonsBtli Floral Go. 886 Morrison Street GROWERS AND RETAILERS PoiHand, Ore.

Following Mr. Dunbar, Professor A. C. Beal, assistant in the horticultural department at Cornell University, who had made a trip to Rochester to speak at the meeting, was called upon to talk on sweet peas. He told of the disease that was being combated at Cornell and then launched into his real theme. He came here primarily with the intention of interesting the local florists in a state federation of florists that would em- brace all amateur and commercial men. He called attention to the centralized power needed in the protection of flo- rists from harmful legislation at Al- bany. This state-wide federation of- fered a remedy for existing evils and Professor Beal hoped that Rochester or- ganizations would take the matter up. Together with Mr, Young, also of Cornell, Professor Beal has been work- ing on a revision of the premium list at the state fair held in Syracuse each year. He is boosting the experimental greenhouse project for Cornell. He an- nounced that, because of the demand for various other buildings at Cornell this year, the state legislature would not appropriate any money for the ex- perimental greenhouses, but it is quite certain that next year a generous appro- priation will be made. One of the practical talks of the eve- ning was that of William Ferie, head gardener for George Eastman, who spoke on "Renovating of Old Lawns and How to Make a Good Lawn. ' ' Mr. Perie's talk was exceedingly helpful and the association gave him a vote of thanks for his many suggestions.

A committee of eight mem- bers of the Rochester association was selected to meet the St. Catherines so- ciety on arrival here. Professor A. C. Beal was made au honorary member of the Rochester Flo- rists' Association at this meeting. Colin T. Ogston introduced the fol- lowing resolution relating to the free distribution of seeds by the Department of Agriculture, which was adopted : Whereas, cei'taln seed distribution of the De- partment of Agriculture has gone beyond the limit of what Congress, by law, originally in- tended, and Whereas, by that section since added, free dis- tribution of seeds has become repugnant and xicious in its entirety, be It Resolved, That this society does condemn and oppose fearlessly this disreputable outrage com- mitted on all floral, horticultural and agricultural societies, and we hereby send a report of this action to our representative, asking him to oppose this free seed distribution act, it being in direct opposition to what was at first intended. A copy of this resolution will be sent to Representative Danforth. Various Notes. George O. Havill went to Geneva, N. Y., May 16, to do some work for J. B. Keller Sons. H. C.

The usual apathy that follows a spe- cial flower day in this city was expe- rienced last week. Providence has not yet awakened to the level of a real flower city and one special day seems to hold it in check for several days after. This proved true in connection with Mothers' day. Business for the occasion was exceptionally large, but there was no business following. Fu- neral work holds up well, but that is all that can be said. The long spell of wet, cold weather has seriously interfered with planting and everyone is from one to four weeks behind in this respect. This is espe- cially true of truck gardeners. Various Notes. William Hoffman, of Pawtucket, has several houses of fine bedding plants that will be ready for Memorial day. W. S. Sword, of Valley Falls, has 50,000 fine tomato plants of all kinds ready to set out. There was a large call for floral pieces for the funerals of Lieut. Car- penter and Hoseman Howe of the local fire department last week. Both men died of injuries received at the Revere Eubber Co. 's fir« a few days ago. J. A. Budlong & Sons, of Auburn, are cutting fine crops of roses and aspara- gus. Andrew Rounds was seriougJy hurt a few days ago by being thrown from his wagon on the Neck road near Bris- tol. He was driving to the town from his greenhouse with a load of plants. Colorado Springs, Cola Orders Carefully Executed riKES PEAK FLORAL CO.

B. Cherry is making preparations for the building of greenhouses, and will grow both flowers and vegetables for the local market. He expects to have his first house ready for the fall business. San Diego, Cal.— Walter G. Scott, the Fifth street florist, was one of the judges at the annual rose show given by the San Diego Floral Association, in the Mission Cliff Gardens. One of the notable features of the show was an exhibit by the Panama-California Exposition Co. Husum, Wash. — J. C. Snyder is mak- ing preparations for the building of a range of greenhouses at his place, three miles southwest of town. He started three years ago with $70 income for his first sales of greenhouse plants, and this year's sales, it is said, will bring him over $2,000. Mountain View, Cal. — This state has developed a second Burbank, possibly, in the person of Richard Diener, of this place, but Mr. Diener, unlike Mr. Bur- bank, has been unfortunate in the se- lection of his press agents. He has to pay for his advertising. Mr. Diener is a German who removed to California because of ill health and took up plant breeding. His work so impressed Wm. Metzner, of San Francisco, that the two entered into partnership. Geraniums and carnations have received Mr. Diener 's chief attention and he has progressed so far that he is offering the trade a new carnation he has named California Giant, for obvious reasons, also seeds of geraniums of his raising. It is said he has a big lot of novelties under test and soon to be offered for dissemination. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. While funeral work and other busi-. ness has kept up fairly well for the season, the abundance of outdoor flow- ers simply floods the market. In addi- tion to this, San Francisco growers have been using this city to dump their surplus stock onto at any old price, so that altogether the wholesalers have had an anxious time getting rid of it. During the last two or three weeks re- tailers have had an opportunity to show the general public that it need not be afraid to enter a flower store, even if there has been no death or wedding in the family. They could buy stock at practically their own price and might easily have turned over a lot of it at prices that would attract customers. In- stead of this, good flowers have been held almost at holiday prices to the customer, while the growers who are wise have been throwing their stock away — those who are unwise have been begging a market from retailers who have not done their share to make business. And these are the people who blame the grower if he unloads his sur- plus stock to the street merchants at prices which they themselves refuse to pay. One prominent grower offered to give a retailer su£Scient choice stock to make a good showing in his window and cut the retail price to a fair profit on the ruling market prices, and this offer, made entirely in a spirit to create and stir up new business, was turned down, though there was absolutely no string to it. These are not vaporings, but hard facts. The most plentiful flowers now are probably carnations and sweet peas, these being everywhere in evidence in quantities far above the demand. The indoor roses have been selling a little better, but there are still too many of them. A brisk demand for Beauties was caused by the floral parade, several of the prize-winning floats and auto- mobiles being partially decorated with them. Yellow Spanish irises and other yellow flowers were also much called for, as well as Shasta daisies. Gladioli are now becoming much more plentiful, the large flowering kinds being in, as well as the Colvillei and similar varie- ties. In outdoor roses Frau Karl Druschki has easily led all others; the grand white flowers, of immense size and sub- stance, are everywhere shown and greatly admired by all. The late rains and cool, foggy nights and mornings have helped the flowers considerably. Valley is equal to the demand; so are orchids; in fact, there is no scarcity of any cut flowers. Greens of all kinds continue in good demand, especially the useful and long-lasting huckleberry. Outdoor Roses We have the best in the market. Mexican Ivy— Best and most lasting Green Prices f. o. b.

Various Notes. Howard & Smith are building an ex- tension of 350 feet to their lath house at Montebello. Those who are inter- ested in the newer varieties of Shasta daisies should call at once and see Fred Howard's beautiful selections and hy- Drids. There are many choice and beau- tiful things among them. Other inter- esting subjects now in flower are superb strains of verbenas, some grand Ger- aera Jameson! hybrids and magnificent stocks. The amaryllises are practically over, but they have been grand this season. Frank Lichtenfcerg decorated two automobiles for the parade. One re- ceived a prize; the other broke down. ie is still doing good business and, so 'ar, the dull times have not reached lim. Mr. Lichtenberg is up-to-date enough to realize that it pays to give the public a square deal and he is reap- ing the benefit of it. E. K. Hunt now has charge of the roof gardens, as well as the retail stand, at the Hamburger department store, both now being directly under the man- agement of the firm. Heretofore the stand has been under other manage- ment. Mr. Hunt, before coming to this country, had considerable experience in Covent Garden, London. S. Murata's gladioli are especially good just now. He is in with a fine cut of America. The Peach Blossom gladioli now '-.eing handled by the H. N.

Mention The Rerlew when yon writp. Everyone was pleased to hear that Tom Wright won first prize in the parade for his decorated carriage and tandem team, referred to last week. Funeral business is brisk at the store. The Ft eman-Lewis car, which won second place in the decorated auto class, was a fine piece of work. To spend nearly $500 on a float, to work day and night at it and then have an axle break and spoil the whole thing is surely about as unpleasant an .. ^^ ■- K^^^.. ■■ I. .J- ^. S2 The Weekly Rorists' Review. May 23, 1912. experience as a florist could have, and this is what happened to the Hayward Floral Co. and all sympathized with H. Eeeve Darling. The idea of the float was a large German basket in yellow and black, something quite different from the ordinary, and experienced flo- rists said unhesitatingly that such a fine piece of work was bound to have come mighty near first place. Tassano Bros, are handling large quantities of huckleberry of extra fine quality and report out-of-town shipping trade as good. F. Hills is shipping in large quanti- ties of fine maidenhair ferns. AH his new plantings this season will be of Adiantum Croweanum. At the postponed meeting of the Los Angeles Horticultural Society, held at Kruckeberg's hall, May 14, there was a more than usually good attendance and there was a brisk and animated discus- sion respecting the quarantine regula- tions on nursery si?ock. P. D. Barnhart announced the coming visit to the city of W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, and Hugh Dickson, the famous Irish rosarian. It was decided to tender a banquet to these gentlemen on the oc- casion of their visit to the city, and a pleasant and instructive evening is looked forward to. P. D. Barnhart, Chas. Winsel and H. E. Richards com- pose the committee named by the chair to make the necessary arrangements. Secretary Kruckeberg was asked to represent the association at the meet- ing of the Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen and the California Asso- ciation of Nurserymen at Salt Lake City, June 4 to 6. All local nursery- men should attend this convention, for matters of the highest importance to the trade are to come up and be thor- oughly threshed out, while the hospi- tality of the Utah city is proverbial. Immense consignments of stock of all kinds are daily arriving at the Los Angeles Flower Market, but, by dint of plenty of hustling, Manager C. Morton keeps it cleaned up. He expects to be especially strong in all choice stock suitable for June weddings and school commencements. Mr. Morton has be- come quite expert in handling his Buick among the traffic. The floral parade and Shriners ' week generally was a gorgeous success. The weather was a little dull, but fine for moving around, and helped to keep the flowers fresh in the autos and floats. The daily newspaper men have used up all the adjectives in their descriptions of this truly marvelous and unique show. H. E. Eichards. TACOMA, WASH. Tacoma readers of The Eeview have been wondering why there was no Tacoma news in The Eeview the last few weeks. All the reason in the world. There was plenty of news, but you can 't expect a newly married man to bother about little things like the price of car- nations and other business items. Our esteemed correspondent, J. L. Simpson, was married April 3 to Miss Florence Groom. Congratulations to Jimmy; sympathy for Mrs. Simpson. The lady florists of the city gave an entertain- ment to the florists, April 18, in honor of the event. Here's hoping Jimmy will make as good a husband as he does a florist. A. G. S.

CURRIER BULB CO. SSABBIGHT, CAL. Mention The Review when you write. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business continues fairly brisk, and good Steele is none too plentiful. The hot weather last week, which estab- lished a new record for May, brought the flowers out faster than usual, but still there was a shortage of carnations. Some poor stock, imported for Mothers' day, had to be used up in funeral work after the Mothers' day sales were over. The demand for Mothers' day, however, was better than last year and there was not so much local stock on hand. Bed- ding stock is selling well and most grow- ers are cleaning up better than last year. Various Notes. The proprietors of Hollywood Gar- dens have moved their store to the ad- joining property on Second avenue, where they have the corner store, with fine display windows on Second avenue and Pine street. They are also extend- ing their plant at Hollywood by the addition of more glass. T. W. SAN FEANCISOO. The Market. Warm weather has been the rule in San Francisco and vicinity for several weeks. This has brought out great quantities of flowers that were being held back somewhat by the cooler days and nights of last month. Carnations and roses are plentiful, though the in- dications are for a lessening in the sup- ply in a short time. Outside stock, such as sweet peas, gaillardias, stocks, coreopsis, Spanish iris, gladioli and small bulbous flowers, are in heavy sup- ply and are being used in large lots by the street venders. Valley is scarcer and in good demand. Violets are over and the same can be said of almost everything in the bulb line. Inside Easter lilies are not moving well. Lilac is out of season.

Third Avenue, Mention The ReTlew when yon write. f;',-vi-t1H»#te*M Cindiinati, Ohio From present indications, there will be considerable business for Decoration day. The continued warm weather is liable to spoil much of the outside stock in the interior towns of the state, in which case the retailers depend entirely on San Francisco and vicinity for their supplies. Funeral trade, together with the school closings, has kept the retail- ers fairly busy for the last few days. Many of our prominent townspeople are commencing, however, to leave for the seashore and the mountains, and in a short time we shall be in the midst of the usual midsummer quietness. Various Notes. George C. Eoeding has been appointed chief of the horticultural department of the Panama-Pacific exposition. Fred Seulberger, of Oakland, is on a pleasure trip to Panama. The E. Gill Nursery Co., of West Berkeley, Cal., captured all the first prizes for cut roses at the California State Floral Society's exhibition last week. W. G. Miller is on a month 's pleasure trip through southern California. Fred Grunwald, of Fruitvale, after being several months in a local hos- pital as the result of a railroad acci- dent, is able to resume his duties. D. Greuttner, of Vallejo, Cal., and formerly of this city, was in town for several days last week, calling on some .of his old friends. G. ILLINOIS FLORISTS. Appointments by Pres. Loveridge. In pursuance of the action taken at the last meeting of the Illinois State Florists' Association, relative to hav- ing a booth as headquarters for our members, and to solicit membership, in conjunction with the S. A. F. meet- ing to be held at Chicago, August next. President Loveridge has appointed the following to act as a booth committee, and to be in charge: C. L. Washburn, Hinsdale; A. C. Brown, Springfield; I. L. Pillsbury, Galesburg; H. E. Smith, Danville; J. F. Ammann, EdwardsviUe, and C. L. Loveridge, ex-officio, Peoria. Also, in pursuance of provision in our constitution. President Loveridge has appointed H. W. Buckbee and I. L. Pillsbury as vice-presidents to serve a term of three years. Chas. L. Loveridge, Pres. J. F. Ammann, Sec. ME. EBEL'S SUGGESTIONS. Reading in a recent issue of The Review Mr. Ebel's suggestions, these few thoughts came to me. Nature has provided more wild flowers than articles of food, and many of them are for the only purpose of being admired. The wild flowers have been so improved through the efforts of florists and others that they are worthy to be worn by the proudest in the land. What is more beautiful than a well grown and de- veloped flower? Flowers h?ive many uses: They soothe the temper, make cheerful the sad, mend the ruffled spirits of everyone, and a dinner-table is not complete without them. There is noth- ing better for a present than a nice box of flowers or a pot or pan of flowering plants. Mother knows her children love her when they give or send a box of flowers or a plant. Young ladies appre- ciate flowers more than candy. In fact, flowers as a present are more desirable than any other thing. I was surprised to read that any charitable institution wanted people to send it money instead of buying flowers for a deceased friend. Few people want to advertise how much they realize the loss of a dear friend in dollars and cents. Sending flowers to the bereaved ones shows in an effectual way that one's sympathy is with them in their dark hour. I have occasionally seen funerals where there were no flowers, and the thought has arisen, "There goes someone who is unhonored and un- sung." In conclusion, flowers from time immemorial have been used for decorative purposes, and in this day and age, when they can be obtained every- where, flowers in their season, people ought to buy them and use them for any and every occasion that arises. Chas. Budd. New Orleans, La — The florists are having trouble with the board of health over uncovered manure piles that are the breeding place for flies. They are being required to cover or remove the manure. Want and For Sale Department tVAdvertlsements undt>r this head lO cents per Ilii««. cash with order from all who do not do other ddvertislnt;.

According to the early reports from the large growers, the peony supply will be adequate. These and perhaps lilies are about the only blooms that will surely be offered in large quantities. Most of the other principal lines are cleaning up so nicely now, and at such fair prices, that hard- ly anyone will try to hold back, even for a few days. Again, the average daily cut seems to be dropping off. The principal shortage, if there should be any at Decoration day, will be in car- nations. The balance of the offerings are coming in nicely. There will be few outdoor blooms, for the iris season will have ended, just as the outdoor bulbous stock season has ended now. As June is approaching, the inquiry increases for flowers available for wedding work. Many inquiries also are coming in with regard to flowerff for commencement. Various Notes. C. E.

That seal cannot be broken and those seeds most be sold by the package. With peas and beans they give thirty-four quarts to the bushel; the new wrinkled pea will take more space and is sold at the rate of fifty- six pounds to the bushel. The seeds- men don't want litigation, but they do want a law that will allow them to sell seeds on a proper basis. John Fottler, a seedsman for fifty- three years in Boston, showed the im- possibility of breaking packages to weigh seeds; last Saturday he said his clerks averaged two hundred customers apiece and if they had to weigh each order for seeds the people would have walked out of the store. IMPORTED FORAGE-PLANT SEEDS. The Secretary of Agriculture, in call- ing attention to the seed laboratory, which has examined a considerable num- ber of lots of forage-plant seeds im- ported into the United States during 1911 and found that many of them con- sisted of seed of low vitality and high weed-seed content, said: "The analyses of eighteen lots of seed of alsike clover, red clover, white clover, and hairy vetch, amounting to 225,780 pounds, showed that the pure seed consisted of only 44.9, 64.2, 51.2, and 23 per cent, respectively, of the con- signment, while the germination was as follows: 38.8, 37.0, 30.5, and 77 per cent, respectively. Consequently, though this seed was imported at a cost of $7.47, $7.97, $17, and $3.82 per 100 pounds, respectively, the actual cost of 100 pounds of seed that ger- minated was $44.35 for alsike clover, $34,66 for red clover, $111.86 for white clover, and $23.29 for hairy vetch, or from two to four times the market price of seed of the best quality. "A special examination of seed of alsike clover and red clover imported from Canada during 1911 showed that approximately one-half was unsalable for seeding purposes in that country, the seed-control act there prohibiting sale when more than a prescribed num- ber of noxious seeds are found to the pound. One lot of seed of alsike con- tained less than fifty per cent of pure seed, germinating only fifteen per cent, or seven and one-half per cent of the entire bulk. This particular lot con- tained approximately 135,000 weed seeds in each pound." THE SEED SEASON TO DATE. A Peculiar Year. Letters reaching The Review con- tinue to speak of a generally satisfac- tory seed selling season, but nearly every letter points out some peculiar- ity of the trade, due to an abnormally severe winter, a late spring, floods, seed shortages or other features that have not been noted in recent seasons. On the whole, however, it is apparent that the seed trade has had a satis- factory business, with more stirring now than is usual in May, and with the prospect that the business will con- tinue active much later in the season than usual.

Bedalta, Mo SEEDS The fact that most men are sodamphraid of what other people may think of them is responsible for so much hy- pocrisy in the world. When you begin to think too much about other people's opinion of yourself, you lose your in- dependence — you're not yourself. Take a little seltzer when swallowing what other people say — do your own thinking and be original. You may not always be right, but you'll learn in the best school. Some men have a great big hunk of fear frozen stiff in their system, and every time they get warmed up on any matter of business, just enough of that frozen fear is melted to paralyze their better judg- ment— so they slop over in their gush of blab, and spoil the business. We had a salesman once who was so gifted with gab that he couldn't sell as much as a Wooden Indian in front of a tobacco store. With the tongue matinee the florist got an occasional squirt of saliva, so we named this fellow Rain-in-the-f)ace and fired him forthwith. He wasn't a bad fellow at all, but he was not a salesman — his tongue hung in the mid- dle and wagged at both ends. And so it goes — good men in every line are scarce — ■ what we all want is good men — the kind that have a mind of their own and are not afraid to back it up with work. Likewise florists want good lily bulbs and French bulbs — the kind that are backed up by a good house — bulbs of true value and from reliable sources. Horseshoe Brand bulbs are of that kind — try them and see for yourself. Send for the Book of Bulbology. RALPH N.

It ^|^4>eeji extremely rainy and wet and a greater portion of the farming operations are much delayed. Otto Schwill & Co., Memphis, Tenn. Owing to the high water and floods in the Mississippi valley and in our immediate section, trade has been less than in previous seasons. The orders have been about as numerous, but they have been much smaller; in fact, we notioe the same state of affairs in our retail jaslea department from the store. All -eeed stoclcs, however, have been sold to a much better profit than in previous years, which of course is more gratifying to the general seed trade. Amzi Godden Seed Co., Birmingham. It has been quite a different season this year from what we have had for the last several years, on account of the extremely cold weather during the wiaiet, and spring. The continual rains we have had delayed the plant- ing all o^ter the south. Our mail order business i»W been about up to the aver- age and we find that we are doing a great deal more business now in May than we did last May, on account of the late season. We also find that there will be an increase in the plant- ing of .leguminous crops, such as soy beans aaid cow peas, also of peanuts, sorghums and millets. We believe that the season through this section this year will -extend to the middle of July and teA, confident that during May and Jma we will malce up for the loss we had^ early in the season. Man^Wsdorf Bros. Co., Atchison, Kan. Our business is exclusively whole- sale. The volume of business done by our firm the present season in field seeds has far exceeded any previous year^ in field seed items seed corn be- ing most in demand. The wholesale garden seed trade also was exception- ally good, especially so on refill or im- mediate orders. As expected, beets, carrot, peas^ parsley and parsnip were shoirt-and high prices prevailed. On all other items, stocks were sufficient to fill all orders. Jiinds Vick's Sons, Bochester. We have had a good trade this year. In keeping with conditions in the rest of the country, trade opened up late here, but the weather continued cool, with no hot waves such as sometimes sweep the country, thus making condi- tions favorable to a continuous spring trade, although from two weeks to a month late. Our mail order trade has been good in all departments, likewise our ^ocal store trade. Everything poini§ Tq more business during the lat- ter part of May and June than last year. As the aster is one of our special- ties, we expect to do a big business along this line. Last year we sold about 65,000 plants at retail over our store counter- This year we hope . to make it 75,000 to 100,000. Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. The, increase this season in all the departments of our business has been marked. _^There is a reason for this, owing to 'the fact that in our growing operations we have broken into new ANNOUNCEMENT I\YISH to thank my cjaBtomera ior their very Ifber^ patron- age for the season, and to ask for a continuance of the same for the future.

Mention The Review when you write. Our trade is principally wholesale. We have given up what is termed the ' ' mail order business ' ' and confine our efforts now to our local market garden trade and trade with dealers throughout the country. Our great increase in the trade with canners, which has assumed propor- tions unheard of a few years ago, is a line that requires great quantities of .^- Mat 23. 1012. The Weekly Florists' Review* 65 stocks, but we have been able to meet it. We now operate four gardeners' stores in Chicago and cover every sec- tion of the gardening district here. We have made a specialty of this trade for many years and thi? Jesuit has been all that we could dekiVte',' better this year than ever before. It is natural that an increase should come each year and during the last few years our increase has been steady, but this year it has been beyond our expec- tations. During the last two seasons the foreign producers of seed have been going back on account of the adverse weather conditions on the other side, and this has aided materially in bring- ing the stocks of garden seeds, such as radish and other root crops which we are growing in the central section of the country, into prominence. This has resulted profitably for us, especially during this present season, as we pro- duced good quantities of seed supplies that have been formerly received from European centers, and the advanced price at which these have been sold has added considerably to the profits of the year. In onion sets, which, it is generally known, we grow in large quantities, we have had a trade that has been un- precedented in our business history. There was a steady market for this product at the beginning of the season last fall, and this continued throughout the season, the latter end bringing prices that have not been realized for this commodity since the year of the Chicago World's Fair, 1893. In peas and beans, of which we are large growers, we have had a large business, as our crops during the last year turned out better than the average and the high prices that have ruled for peas and the comparatively good prices that have ruled for beans have swelled the volume of business done in these two lines. On the whole, it has been an exceed- ingly profitable year and the increase is probably 50 per cent better than last year's increase. We of course aim for a steady increase, but, as before men- tioned, the increase has been more than we had anticipated. The season has been abnormal in all ways as far as weather has been concerned. There have been spurts at times and business has been below normal at times, but the general season has been fully as good as any that we have had in steadi- ness and far beyond any year in volume. Fottler, Fiske, Bawson Co., Boston. With regard to the comparison of this year with last, we have been so ex- tremely busy that we have not our records at hand for this season to com- pare with last, only in our cash sales. These we can tell readily each day and we find that they are far in excess of last season, which is extremely satisfac- tory to us. S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich. In regard to the mail order trade for 1912, beg to say that this has been a most unusual season. In the first place, our catalogue went out about two weeks late and we feared this would curtail our trade. Of course we cannot say whether this was a fact or not, but we do know that up to the present date we have at least twenty-five per cent larger receipts than in any previous year.

Pittsburgh has been having a large share of the rain that has been going around and the weather has continued cool, last Monday being more like spring than anything we have had for a long time. There has been quite enough stock for all demands, but no great glut, although there could be quite an improvement in business, especially the retail business. Plantsmen have been waiting with all the patience they could muster for warm weather, but they started work May 20 and were all busy getting out orders for people who felt they must plant. Various Notes. The city has given the gardeners the privilege of displaying their stock on Market street, the first time for years that they have allowed stands on that side of the market. The wholesale cut flower houses all seem to be fairly busy, as shipping trade is helping them. There are no fancy prices, but carnations seem to hold their own well enough for the season. James Herron, of the Pittsburgh Florists' Exchange, and Nick Harris, of Harris Bros., have returned with their brides and both are busy fixing up their new homes. Jas. B. Smith, of McKeesport, is on the sick list. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is all lighted up with Knights Templar deco- rations for the conclave to be held here The Pittsburgh Tree & Hardy Plant & Seed Co., Jas. Jones, manager, is hav- ing a good season, as it is about the only company which makes any display of that kind of stock in this city. Hoo-Hoo. Lake City, la.— Mrs. M. M. Titus, though she had an unusually large stock on hand for Mothers' day, was unable to supply the demand for cut flowers.

The regular monthly meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held at Pembroke hall on the eve- ning of May 8, with President Johnston in the chair. L. Hubbard, of this town, was elected to active membership. Communications were received, offer- ing special prizes for the fall show, from Kohler Bros., A. G. Hodenpyle, D. Burns and others. Messrs. Everett, Johnson and Eob- ertson were the judges of the evening's exhibits and their decisions were as follows: Three lettuces, V. Cleres, first; three cauliflowers, V. Cleres, first; six tomatoes, V. Cleres, first; exhibition let- tuce, r. Pettroccia, thanks of society; mushrooms, F. Pettroccia; radishes, J. Marmorile, thanks of society; sweet peas, J. MacDonald, honorable mention. An amendment to the by-laws was adopted. This provides for the admis- sion, to associate membership, of clergy, school teachers and members of the local press. The executive committee submitted a schedule for exhibits by the pupils of the public school at the dahlia show, and the society appropriated $25 for the purpose. Arthur Herrington has promised to speak at the June meeting on some sub- ject connected with outdoor horticul- ture. All members who possibly can ought to hear this interesting speaker. The society's prizes for next meeting will be for twelve hardy roses, twelve strawberries and one vase of German iris, mixed. J, M. FISE AT BAITNEBS ELK. The North Carolina Evergreen Co., of Banners Elk, N. C, was so unfor- tunate as to lose, by fire, its entire outfit of storage and' packing houses, with all merchandise, on the evening of May 14. When it is considered that this establishment was one of the largest in the world for the handling of galax, ferns and other such stock, and that the owners carried practi- cally no insurance, the seriousness of the disaster will readily be appreci- ated. However, the firm has deter- mined to begin rebuilding at once, so as to be ready to take care of the fall and winter trade and serve its patrons without any interruption.

Mention The Review when tou write WASHINGTON, D. 0. The Market. Saturday, May 18, it seemed as though white carnations were as much in favor as they were on Mothers' day, due no doubt to the many May parades held on Sunday. The stalls in the cen- ter market sold out their lines com- pletely and before closing time it was hard to get cut flowers of any descrip- tion, so great had been the demand dur- ing the day. The stores also are well pleased with the week's work and if the weather will but continue fair and warm for a few weeks, business will be as lively as ever. It has been many years since such a continuous downfall of rain was experienced in the month of May, particularly following such a rainy April. The weather conditions have worked havoc with roses, a quan- tity of the stock locally grown showing the effects of mildew on both bud and leaf. Peonies are coming in strong, as are the northern American Beauty roses, and there is a fairly good demand for these. Wholesale prices are about as they have been. Various Notes.

Inasmuch as the florists seem unable to do any- thing on their own initiative towards eliminating this trade evil, if Mayor ■ Sylvester would urge the enactment into law of a bill carrying provisions for a high license fee, he would more than endear himself to the hearts of all those florists who feel the inroads that are being made on their business by these men, who think nothing of stand- ing in front of a regular store to peddle out their wares.

Trade improved somewhat last week. The weather continues cold, with much more rain than is necessary. The flo- rists doing a bedding business are busy, but the weather holds that trade back. Bedding stock is plentiful, except good vines, which are somewhat scarce this year. Store trade is nothing to brag :about; funeral work has been slow of late. The outlook is good for plenty of flow- •«rs for Memorial day. It looks as though there would be plenty of peo- nies as well as other outdoor flowers. Various Notes. Albert Pittet has a fine lot of fever- few and daisies for Memorial day. C. E. Green, with A.

He may be found on the job almost any time of the day or night now. Hartje & Elder have a fine lot of candytuft and daisies for Memorial day. Chas. Jones, of Richmond, Ind., spent a day with the trade last week. The Pahud Floral Co. reports the bed- ding business far ahead of last year. W. H. Elverson spent a few days with the trade this week.

ABOUT SWING CHECK VALVES. Will a swing check valve work satis- factorily on the return end of a return steam pipe? At present I have valves on both ends, but wish to avoid run- ning from one end of the house to the other when turning off steam from cer- tain pipes. W. E. F, W. If the coils are four to six feet above the check valve, there should be no trouble about using it with low pressure steam. Make Your Boiler an Asset, Not a Liability A boiler coatB enough so that every florist should be anxious to get the most possible for his money; he should closely investigate sev- eral styles before choosing. The more you investigate the more sure it is that you'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- ially for greenhouse work after a close study of what was needed. It is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but —more flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller.

The anthracite coal miners, by an overwhelming vote May 18, ratified the agreement with the mine operators that had previously been rejected and the hard coal mines were reopened May 22, after a shutdown of about seven weeks. It will, of course, be several days be- fore the production is normal, but peace is now under contract for two years. In the bituminous fields production is rapidly approaching normal, the shut- down having been for only a few days. The fuel markets are easy this week. Prices, which took a big boom when a protracted labor war seemed imminent, have dropped back to about the usual level for this time of year, but the tendency still is downward rather than upward, the reserve supplies of coal, accumulated to guard against a strike, keeping a large number of buyers out A Steady Pressure will always be main- tained in TOur steam pipes, no matter how the pressure at the boiler fluctuates, if you equip your main lines with these valvee. Carry 40 or 60 pounds pressure on the boiler, set the Hughson Regulating Val^ to carry 5 or 10 pounds oi line and you will always h«^ a reserve in case of a sudden ^op in temperature. This vaTve saves both fuel and worry. Ask for catalogue and particulars. n Steam Specialty Ci. 5021-3 S. State St, Ckicaii \ Mention The ReTlew when .too writ*. of the market. The coal on the rail is what makes a weak market; the ad- vance in wages given the miners, while not all that they asked for, makes necessary contract prices for next sea- son a few cents a ton above those paid last season.

T • Mention ThP RptIcw wh»n ron write have no accurate way of estimating the extent of radiating surface in a speci- fied length or quantity of piping. In other words, they have no way of esti- mating what amount of piping is neces- sary to supply the required radiation. When they are informed that a certain size of greenhouse requires a certain number of square feet of radiation, thejr are still in doubt as to how much piping they must install. The following table shows the amount of radiating surface, expressed in frac- tions of a square foot, in each lineal foot of pipe of the sizes commonly used : Size Pipe. Sq. Ft. Size Pipe. Sq.

In 125 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe, for instance, there are 125 times .622, or 77.75 (nearly 78) square feet of radia- tion. GLENWOOD, MICH. E. H.

He is located in two states, with good build- ings and storage at important shipping points. In Wisconsin a new law re- quires that the fern rights be leased before picking can be done. At Mos- inee, where Mr. Hitchcock has a ware- house, he has leased all the fern terri- tory, also around the town of Moon. The Wisconsin acreage is in the lyco- podium and sphagnum moss district and he will in future deal in those two commodities as well as in ferns. COLUMBUS, O. The Market. Trade has been rushing here in the last week or so, and everybody is on the move now with the spring plant trade. The weather has been rather cool, and rain nearly every day has de- layed planting a great deal, but from now on everything will go out. The big movement for beautifying the city is having a good effect, as there are places that have been eyesores here- tofore which are now cleaned up and planted in flowers, and some big jobs have been put through. The indications are that there will not be nearly enough stock to go the rounds. Trade here for Mothers' day cleaned up everything in the way of a flower. White carnations went early, followed by everything in sight. Some of the flowers coming in are rather poor, especially roses, which have been badly mildewed and rather poor from all points. Carnations are becoming smaller, but great quantities are coming in. Sweet peas are still in big demand, as they are about the only small flowers now on hand for wearing, and they are cleaned up nicely right along. The call for Beauties has been rather light, but there has not been a big stock on hand at any time. Various Notes.

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 2^4 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 containing 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 con- venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin- ues 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 dura- bility of the carriers; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green- houses, furnish anlestimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

Another Design for Criticism. Some time ago a subscriber sent sev- eral photographs to The Eeview, with the statement that the designs shown in the photographs were samples of his work and that he would be pleased to have them criticised. One of the de- signs, with criticisms by four experts, was presented in The Keview of May •9; another design, a wreath of galax and carnations, receives similar com- ment in this issue. The maker of the designs, being so good-natured and majgnanimous as to submit the photographs for such a pur- pose, is undoubtedly receiving the crit- icisms in the same good-natured, un- ruffled spirit, perhaps remarking: "I am getting what I asked for — honest criticism, whether it is entirely just or not, and I have neither the right nor the disposition to grumble because the critics are finding flaws. I am not suf- fering any; the martyrdom is less severe than I suspected it might be, and it may be edifying to others." The letter that accompanied the photographs was as follows: I am sending you pictures of some of the work 1 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 opportunity. In reproducing I ask that you leave the name in. Hilary E. Le Page. The Flowers End Too Abruptly. Here is shown a galax wreath, fin- ished with carnations and Eoman hya- cinths. At least there appear to have been some Bomans used, but not to good advantage. First let us consider the bare galax wreath. Nearly every florist secures a different effect in making a wreath of these valuable but inexpensive leaves. Some pin them to the moss; others wire them short, while in many cases no certain scheme seems to have been followed at all. In the wreath shown, the leaves appear to have been rather carelessly arranged and the opening in the center could have been left larger by not making the wreath quite so wide. If two galax leaves are wired to one toothpick, the smaller one about one inch above the lower, a good looking wreath can be made with- out much previous experience. Where the flowers are to be placed the leaves should, of course, be stemmed shorter. The flowers in the wreath end up altogether too abruptly. The flnish on the right side has the appearance of being straight across, instead of being more pointed in form and thinning out into fewer flowers, placed farther apart, with some dainty green between. On the side where the bow is placed, the flowers should have been finished as if they were the beginning of a spray, with the bow used to hold the spray to the wreath. The whole arrangement of the flowers should be more airy. This effect could be obtained by letting the Boman hya- cinths protrude farther beyond the car- nations, on the top as well as at the edges, and where a bow is used, as in this case, the flowers should have the appearance of a long, graceful, crescent- shaped spray, tied to the wreath; other- wise there would be no excuse for using a bow of ribbon at all. Just why the designer of this wreath used gauze for loops and satin ribbon for the streamers, I cannot understand. Gauze or chiffon, when used in connec- tion with satin ribbon, should be tied let the flowers end up about at the top or a little past the top. Hugo Schroeter. The Blending is Neglected. The intention in this piece is good, but the execution is faulty, first in that the blending is neglected. The sections are merely joined. To prop- erly blend a piece in sections, as this is made, a number of lines from one section should be carried into the Other — dovetailed, as it were. The Eoman hyacinths would accomplish this in the wreath presented here, if they were Wreath for Criticism. so that the latter will show through the chiffon. Beautiful effects can be se- cured in this way. When an easel is used, it should be covered with smilax or Asparagus Sprengeri if a finished effect is wanted. In mounting a wreath of this descrip- tion upon an easel, instead of placing the center of the flowers exactly at the top, it would be better to place the ribbon at the lower left-hand side and more in evidence over the galax leaves on the right side. The top of the wreath is slightly flattened, as the result of the flower- filled section being narrower than the galax section. Of all formal pieces, there is none which permits more freedom in arrange- ment than a wreath. It is easily dis- tinguished, as it is simple in outline, is not a reproduction of some object, 10 The Weekly Florists' Review. May 30, 1912. and is strictly decorative. Hence there is no reason for restraint in assembling the flowers. Throw them out and apart freely. Don't be afraid of breaking the outline. It would have been better not to use any asparagus than these scanty bits. A well grouped bunch of the asparagus, with some long-stemmed Romans at the left side, would have blended the two elements of galax and carnations. What is the rosette bow for? It ties nothing; there is nothing to be tied. Supposing it were needed, it is too scanty for the size of the piece. The bunch of chiffon loops should be much fuller and streamers of chiffon might veil the ribbon streamers. 'In case the ribbon is used for the sake of the in- scription, it might be gracefully draped across the piece, with a rosette at each end. The piece might have been more at- tractively decorated by arranging the long-stemmed carnations in a long spray, topped by a fringe of Romans. This spray is most easily handled if made separately and pinned onto one side of the wreath. The tie with the lettering might then be added. Or a carnation and hyacinth garland could have been wrapped around the galax wreath, with the ribbon tying the head and tail ends. Or a double spray, of carnations at one end and Romans at the other, with an enlarged tie, could have composed the decoration. Gertrude Blair. Improperly Balanced. From the picture submitted I am un- able to determine the exact material employed. The body or form is of galax, with an opposing factor of flow- ers and ribbon. Carnations and hya- cinths we will call the flowers, in the absence of positive knowledge. The flowers and galax are the oppos- Wreath of Galax and Rcie» by Fred C. V. Browo. ing factors and, as such, it is advisable to give them opposites in direction for the sake of interest. The story em- bodied is that a wreath of leaves has been enriched by a cluster of flowers. The reason why this cluster should hi' opposite in- direction to the leaves is, so that a point of interest may be cre- ated at the greatest point of opposition; or, in a case of running parallel with the main interest, the flowers should be filtered in at one extreme and have an abrupt termination at the other, thus creating a single point of interest, or high light. In this piece we find two such posi- tions and, apparently without reason, one has been selected and has received as its high light a bow of ribbon, em- phasized in a degree by the word "Brother," but the full stop on the other extreme of this directionless mass of blooms is unbroken and gives the unpleasant sensation of collision. Had the maker grouped his hyacinths at the ribbon high light and given general direction to his cluster by using his carnations on longer stems, and if, still desiring the parallel principle, he had filtered his carnations on over (not into) his galax at the opposite of his ribbon, the effect would have been eminently better and the point of the story would have been much better told. The spindly legs of the easel are akin to a naked truth — disagreeable, but fact. They should have been veiled in some suitable way. The card would have looked much better if placed on one of the flowing ends of ribbon, or on the design proper. Fred C. W. Brown. THE BBEDE'S MUFF. A Taking Novelty. The bouquet is so old that there has been demand for wedding flowers in some other form. This call has been met by the bride's muff. The muff makes a hit wherever it is used or shown. Put a conventionaf bride's bouquet in your window, or in- clude it in your exhibit at a show, and it attracts scarcely so much as passing notice. But put in a muff and you get the ladies lined up three deep — and the men, too. The first bride in a social set to carry a muff, instead of the conventional bouquet, sets all her acquaintances talk- ing about it. The muff gets attention where a shower bouquet wouldn't be noticed any more than the groom is. Making a Muff. The shower bouquet often has been cited as the supreme test of a retail florist's abilities as a worker with flow- ers, but the muff, on the other hand, is a quite simple proposition. Any handy seamstress can make one in a few minutes and many a man does as well. The muff usually is made on paper. A long strip of heavy, tough paper is rolled into the requisite shape, and sewed there. Some cover both sides, in- side and out, with cotton wadding be- fore rolling, but others put the wadding on afterward. Next comes the chiffon or netting covering. It is not difficult to put on, but usually a first attempt gets it too tight — it should be good ma- terial and it should be loose and full. You are not imitating the round, hard, May 30, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 11 The Bride's Muff, a Popular Variation from the Staodard Type of Bouquet. stuffed muff your grandmother carried, but the big, soft, luxurious affair your daughter has just packed away in moth balls. Both ends have a frill or ruffle all the way around, and the chiffon must neither be drawn tighty nor show edges anywhere. The showers are easy. Tie butterfly bows at the end of the ribbon and tack the bows to the muff with a few good, deep stitches, which at the same time fastens the thicknesses of the muff firmly together. Tie in your valley or sweet peas and adiantum just as you would in a shower bouquet. A point that will require attention is the color of the muff. It may be almost anything the bride pleases — usually white, light pink or delicate blue, but there are the makings of trouble here unless you have an understanding at the start.

Here William Hertrich, superintendent for Mr. Hunt- ington, has raised a monument to his own skill and energy in the formation of a magnificent place in a little over Nature and Art at Their Best. The quiet, cool beauty of some of the woodland walks, where, under a can- opy of live oaks and other native tim- ber, tree ferns from Australia grow with a vigor unsurpassed anywhere, must be seen and felt to be properly appreciated, for here, as elsewhere on the place, Mr. Hertrich has retained all that was best of the native vege- tation and so blended it with his own plantings of exotics that it forms a perfectly harmonious whole, with abso- lutely no jarring feature. Cocos Plumoia on the Huntington Lawn, two years. It is hard to believe that the broad stretches of beautiful grass lawns, already smooth and velvety; the grand palms, the lakes covered with water fowl and planted to choice aquatics, and other features, are really new. One seems to have been suddenly transported to one of those "stately homes of England," with their two-or- three-century-old gardens, yet with all the luxuriant, semi-tropical growth for which California is famous, thrown in. Near the house is a magnificent live oak which has a spread, in its lower branches, of over 100 feet, rendering necessary many props to hold them up. Mr. Hertrich has got over this by using concrete in the form of rustic tree stems, artificially colored so that it is quite impossible — so well is the work done — to recognize them as artificial. And this same thoroughness is appar- ent throughout the whole of this great place. Splendid Outdoor Specimens. It would be impossible to mention one-half of the fine specimen plants here, but a few of the more striking may perhaps be of interest. There is a fine Cocus plumosa, thirty-five feet high, that was brought with an im- mense ball of earth, weighing fourteen tons, from San Diego, a pretty ;big undertaking. But this is only one of hundreds of big specimens that have been purchased all over the state, wher- ever they could be found, and brought to enrich this marvelous garden. There is a beautiful specimen of Tupidanthus calyptratus, which flo\y^er» and fruits freely here. This plant must be twelve or fourteen feet high and as much through, while smaller plants of it are used freely all over the place. Cycas circinalis does finely here, and a beautiful specimen,' with leaves six or eight feet long, grows with only ^the protection afforded by •Other vegetation. A plant that Mr. Hertrich is naturally proud of is Philodendron speciosum, a fine specimen with immense leaves, while there is quite' a number of Ij^rge plants of encephalartos in considerable variety. Between Rows of Palms and Heaths. What will eventually be a novel fea- ture and is already showy is a walk bordered on each side with alternate plants of Erica melanthera and Sea- forthia elegans. Both are making fine growth and it is thought that the shade from the palm will just about be enough to maintain the heath in good condition. While only three years old from the cut- tings, E. melanthera is five feet high and good, bushy plants at that. A Giant Aralia and Kentia. Those who only know Aralia ele^an- tissima in the greenhouse would prob- ably enjoy a sight of a specimen four- teen feet high, growing outside, while Kentia Forsteriana with an immense head, thirty-four feet in the air, is an- other of the giants. Both the white and blue durantas not only flower, but berry freely here, and there are large masses both of these and the pretty Leptospermum lajvigatum, two of the best shrubs for California. The Mon- tezuma cypress, or Taxodium mucrona- tum, is represented by a single speci- men only, but it is a good one and The Gictus Garden on the Huntington Estate, at San Marino, CaL May 30. 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 View on the Grounds of the Huntington Ettate. Mr. Hertrich considers it the finest con- ifer for this section. The foregoing are only a few of the fine things to be seen outdoors here, and in addition we may mention the cactus garden, in which there are over 14,000 plants in great variety, and a magnificent new Japanese garden that is being formed in a canyon not far from the house. In the Greenhouses. The greenhouses are filled with the choicest of ferns, orchids, palms' and other plants. Of the ferns there are immense specimens of Polypodium Man- daianum, Microlepia hirta cristata, Goniophlebium subauriculatum and many of the rarer alsophilas and dick- sonias, including some specimens that are probably unique. The slender- stemmed Cycas Eumphii, from the East Indies, Licualia grandis and the rare and beautiful Plectocomia elon- gata are all worthy of note. Dendro- bium superbiens, an Australian species of orchid that is not as much grown as it deserves to be, was making a fine show. Besides a fine collection of cat- tleyas, phalsenopsis and other well known kinds, a small batch of odonto- glossums and other cool species were noted. It is not possible to do justice to this wonderful garden in an article of me- dium length, as the subject is too broad, but enough, perhaps, has been said to show what may be done when almost- unlimited resources are joined with such masterly skill as is possessed by men like William Hertrich. HER THE AMERICAN JUBOBS. When the plans were laid for the in- ternational horticultural exhibition just closing in London, 300 of the most con- spicuous horticulturists and patrons of horticulture were invited to act on the jury of awards. All the countries of the world, oT- at least all those in which horticulture has any following, were represented. Those in America who were honored by an invitation to act on the jury were: • Ames, Oakes, Boston. Farquhar, J. K. M. L., Boston. Hill, E. G., Richmond, Ind. Morse, C, Hackensack, N. J. Morse, L. L., San Francisco. Thatcher, Mr., Boston. Of these Messrs. Farquhar and Hill accepted the invitation. PLAN A PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. A committee of the New York Flo- rists' Club, consisting of Wallace R.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 17 Maerostachya cannot be beaten, Presi- Uent Carnot, with large, double, conical trusses of pale lilac, with white center, is good. Souv. de Ludwig Spaeth and Philemon are fine dark varieties. Presi- dent Grevy and coerulea superbk are striking double blues. Marc Micheli, with immense trusses of soft azure lilac, is fine; so is Mme. Kreuter, single bright red. Alphonse Lavalle, double blue, shaded violet, and Belle de Nancy, double light rose, are reliable old sorts. There are some fine new Lemoine hy- brids, but these novelties do not sur- pass the older introductions. The seed stores report that, while they are still busy, orders are now mostly for small lots. They are doing a brisk trade in bedding out and vege- table plants. Farquhar & Co. had to turn down many tree and shrub orders this season, being simply overwhelmed with late orders. The date for the annual peony and rhododendron show is not yet fixed, but it will probably be June 15 and 16. Peonies are this season making a most luxuriant growth, thanks to the copious rainfalls we have had all spring. Peirce Bros., of Waverley, are plan- ning to add roses to their specialties another season. The Scituate Greenhouses have a ^'rand lot of hydrangeas, which are in active demand and sell as fast as they arrive. June 18 will be kept as ladies' night by the Gardeners' and Florists' Club. This always brings out a large attend- ance. A fine entertainment is being arranged for. We are pleased to see Jackson Daw- son around again after his sickness. Henry S. Dawson, who is the youngest son of Mr. Dawson, and who operates the Eastern Nurseries, will be married June 10 at Emmanuel Church, Boston, to Miss Pauline Fenner Mason Smith. W. N. Craig. James F. Quinn, who was born and brought up in Brookline and who has been in the florists' business there for many years, has been elected a mem- ber of the board of selectmen to fill a vacancy. The election was held May 24. Mr. Quinn won by four votes out of a total number of 2,298. The elec- tion will go down in the annals of the town as one of the closest and most ex- citing in its history. Aberdeen, Miss. — The Aberdeen Flo- ral Co. will erect two new houses, each 30x80, using material furnished by the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago. The houses will be used for vegetables for winter forcing. Minneapolis, Minn.— This city, it would seem, ought to be blessed with a clear, smokeless atmosphere, espe- ■cially favorable to the growing of flow- ers, for even the florists themselves, the inveterate enemies of smoke, have pad difficulty in satisfying the smoke inspector's requirements. John Mon- son, of the Minneapolis Floral Co., was a recent victim of the inspector's zeal and was mulcted to the extent of $25. The charge against Mr. Monson was first presented about three months ago, but his case was continued in order to give him an opportunity to make pro- visions for the checking of the smoke. The results of his efforts, however, were not all that the inspector demanded and so the penalty was enforced. OBITUABT. John Lodder. John Lodder, a highly respected flo- rist of Hamilton, OMo, passed away at his home May 23^ after years of failing health, at the age of 78 years 8 months 17 days. He was a native of Holland, Germany, but emigrated to America about fifty-four years ago and had resided in Hamilton for forty- six years, most of the time being en- gaged in the florists' business. He was one of the trade's pioneers in south- ern Ohio and, being an industrious man, by his thrift he built up a large nursery with greenhouses and accumu- lated considerable real estate. Mr. Lodder had a large circle of friends and was regarded with much respect by his neighbors and people generally. Mr. Lodder is survived by five sons and one daughter, namely, "William, Henry, Fred, Eudolph, Charles and Mary Lodder, five grandchildren and a brother, living in Marceline, Mo., also a sister, a resident of Buffalo, N. Y. ' • ■ The funeral took place at the house at 8:30 a. m.. May 25, and at 9 o'clock in St. Joseph's church. Interment was in St. Stephen's cemetery. Thomas Clark. Thomas Clark, who for a number of years conducted a greenhouse in the village of Manton, a suburb of Provi- dence, E. L, died at his home in John- ston, R. I., May 16'. He was born in England seventy-eight years ago and when a young man was engaged as a gardener. He became an expert violet grower and when he came to this coun- try he built a house and grew violets for the Providence market. About a year ago his health forced him to aban- don the greenhouse work. His condi- tion had apparently so much improved, however, that he had begun arranging to take up the work again. He was taken suddenly ill, however, with heart complications and died in a few hours. He leaves a widow. Lawrence Hay. Lawrence Hay, for many years one of the best known gardeners in New England, died May 25 at West Har- rington, R. I. He was a few days over .80 years of age, death being due to a complication of heart troubles from which he had been suffering for some time. Mr. Hay was born in Perthshire, Scotland, and had gardened all his life. For about thirty years he was the head gardener for Col. Sir William Gordon, one of the famous 600 members of the Light Brigade which made the charge at Balaklava and whose magnificent show place at Earlston has been fa- mous for years. About a score of years ago Mr. Hay's wife died and he came to this country, whither his four sons had already preceded him. They had all become settled in Rhode Island and he accordingly went to that state and for some time was employed as head gardener at the estate of Harry Blood- good, at Narragansett Pier, and later at Marsden J. Perry's estate in Provi- dence. He was at the latter 's place when Mr. Perry installed the great boxwood hedge that was assembled from various parts of the country and which is said to surpass anything in America. During the last few years Mr. Hay had been working with his sons, all of whom are gardeners, although last win- ter he was employed by Burke & Burns, Johnston, R. I., in charge of their rose houses, but failing health forced him to abandon the work. The sons, all of whom survive him, are Lawrence Hay, Jr., of East Providence; William Hay, who has large greenhouses at Oaklawn, R. I. ; James Hay, who is the head gar- dener at the estate of Mrs. William Goddard, at Potowomut, in East Green- wich, R. I., and Daniel Hay, who is head gardener at the estate of Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbilt in Newport. Mary E. Strall. Mrs. Mary E. Strall, who had been doing a prosperous florists' business at Superior, Wis., died May 11. The busi- ness has been discontinued. Luther T. Brown. Luther T. Brown died May 20 at his residence in Columbus, O., after an illness with organic heart trouble which had continued for nearly eight months. He was 67 years of age and had been a resident of Columbus for twenty-one years, during the greater part of which time he had been connected with the nursery trade. He is survived by a widow and two daughters. G. A. Lindsay. G. A. Lindsay, proprietor of the Long Beach Nurseries, at Long Beach, Cal., died suddenly in his place of business. May 13, while talking to a customer. On the previous day he had complained of suffering from severe pains, but his condition had not been considered crit- ical. He was 64 years of age and was a native of Scotland. He is survived by his wife and one son. The funeral services were held at his home, 719 Locust avenue. (Georges Bruant. We regret to announce the death of that well-known nurseryman of Poitiers, France, M. Georges Bruant. His estab- lishment was known far and near; zonale pelargoniums and chrysanthe- mums were his specialties, but many other subjects, such as begonias, can- nas, dahlias, fuchsias and roses, were grown by him in large numbers. Both in France and abroad M. Bruant 's serv- ices were often in request at the various international horticultural shows. He had been appointed to act as a juror at the international exhibition at London that opened a few days after his death. M. Bruant was held in high esteem by his fellow countrymen, and was the re- cipient of important honors, of which the Cross of OflScer of the Legion of Honor was perhaps the most important. The business will be carried on by his son-in-law, M. Viaud Bruant. Northboro, Mass.— R. E. Wadsworth & Co. have awarded the contract for the construction of a concrete coal bunker and concrete foundations for a new greenhouse. Worcester, Mass. — Michael Querrey, formerly employed by Henry F. Little- field, the Main street florist, has gone into the flower business on his own account at 14 Front street. Clarksville, Tenn.— The business of P. R. Palethorpe Co., manufacturing Nicoticide, has been removed here from Owensboro, Ky., and incorporated under the laws of Tennessee. iirf tMX ilMIHm it' ttiii - I II 18 The Weekly Florists' Review.

There is said to be a scarcity of green magnolia leaves, due to the condition of the raw material, which just at this time is not in shape for shipping. 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 heat is not nearly so great as it was just before Memorial day last year, but it nevertheless is a handicap on the business of the week. It makes garden flowers too plentiful for the florists' trade and greenhouse flowers too soft to handle to best advantage. The way the trade is growing is shown by the fact that the supply houses fre- quently find themselves short on stock of which they thought they had bought to cover any possible demand. Ruscus last Christmas, for instance, green mag- nolia leaves for Memorial day, and cer- tain popular styles of wedding and com- mencement baskets. One of the largest growers of first- class peonies says he has progressed to the point of realizing that the retailers must be given a chance to make money on the crop if a satisfactory sale is to be found for large quantities season after season. The proposition is not to charge all the trafiic will bear, but to supply good stock at a price that will afford an inducement to the retailers to push it. LET EVERYBODY BOOST.

A crop report has been prepared by the vice-president of one of the largest distributing concerns of the country from reports made to him by his many hundreds of salesmen, who have made systematic investigations under his di- rection. It is observed that while con- ditions are certainly backward — the crops being from two to five weeks late as a rule — "a few weeks of warm, fair weather would produce one of the best prospects in general which we have had for a number of years, while a con- tinuance of excessive rainfall will mate- rially reduce the present generally favorable outlook." BiANDA'S SUCCESS. W. A. Man^ last week cabled to his company's headquarters at South Or- ange, N, J., that he had secured twen- ty-two prizes at the Royal Interna- tional Horticultural Exhibition which opened at London, May 22, to close May 30. The prizes included seven silver cups, six silver gilt medals, five silver medals and one bronze medal. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED. The Review has a large and extreme- ly efficient corps of correspondents — they get the news, and they see to it that subscriptions are not permitted to, lapse — but there are several good-sized cities that are not so well represented in the columns of The Review as they should be. Among them are the fol- lowing: BuflFalo, N. Y. Kansas City, Mo. Louisville, Ky. Memphis, Tenn. Minneapolis, Minn. Nashville, Tenn. Omaha, Neb. St. Paul, Minn. Perhaps there are others. If you live in any town that is not represented in the news columns of The Review in pro- portion to the importance of the trade interests in the town, why not step into the breach? There will be a monthly check in proportion to the interest taken in the work. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. An abundance of almost every sea- sonable flower is to be had and the market for Memorial day appears, with every passing minute, to be getting easier, with good stock of high grade hard to find, the greater part of the arrivals being affected more or less by the warm weather which came so sud- denly the middle of last week. Fol-, lowing rapidly on the heels of the un- seasonably cold weather, the quick change brought about a sharp contrast and large cuts were reported from al- most every quarter. Whether any ma- terial change in prices will follow is a question of opinion and relies chiefly on the abilities of the weather man to make good with his prediction of cooler weather. Should the warm, hot and stuffy days continue there is some pos- sibility of lower prices, but as yet they have held firm insofar as first-class stock is concerned. Peonies have, how- ever, come in so rapidly with the burst of sunshine that sharp reductions have been considered more than likely after Memorial day, in view of the large sup- ply now on hand in the cold storage warehouses and the ever increasing ar- rivals from the nearby fields. Carnations, that were so scarce last week, responded quickly to the heat of the last few days and, while there is hardly any oversupply, the dealers are much worried over shipments of any distance, as the general run of all col- ors is weak and soft, making it neces- sary to exercise the greatest of care in packing, and even then no one will predict that they will arrive in the best of shape. The shipments of May 27 and 28 were greater than last year, but a certain amount of apprehension was manifested in all quarters as to the effect of the warm weather, it being -^r-^tr J>-.r.---.^. -■ May 30, 1912.

Poehlmann's to Grow Pot Plants. It is announced that Poehlmann ^ros. Co., Morton Grove, will go into the pot plant line, growing blooming stoL'k for Christmas and Easter and ^ecorative plants, especially ferns, for the seasons between holidays. Under the direction of August F. Poehlmann, the plant growing will be in charge of C. Gr. Anderson, formerly with the Geo. Wittbold Co., whose employment was reported in last week's issue of The Review. Mr. Poehlmann plans, quite as a matter of course, to turn out pot plants of a quality and eventu- ally in quantity to compare with the company's output of cut flowers. Some of the stock for the start already has been ordered. It would seem that the Poehlmann Bros. Co. is taking a wise step, for Chicago never has had an adequate supply of pot plants of the better class. The few growers of these have done exceedingly well. Peonies for Memorial Day. One of the best posted peony han- dlers stated May 25 that the entire basement of the Western Cold Storage warehouse was being devoted to peonies, and that at a rough estimate he would put the number then on the floor at 25,000 dozens. This he thought to be practically as many as were in storage at the same date last year. He considered the average quality not especially good, there being some fancy peonies but a great many more de- cidedly light bunches. This, with the arrivals from May 25 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Various Notes. One of the wholesale houses reports having thirty customers that do busi- ness under some such name as the So and So Greenhouses and that endless confusion results from telegraph orders coming signed with the name of the proprietor or manager instead of the business name. Otto W. Frese sug- gests that if a man chooses to trade as the Podunk Greenhouses he ought to stick to that title instead of wiring orders signed "John Smith." Ernst Wienhoeber has sold his win- ter residence at 1642 La Salle avenue and May 25 removed permanently to his summer home at Highland Park. Kyle & Foerster report that Quincy peony growers were right in the midst of the peony cut at the opening of this week and that Klehm's Nurseries are cutting Old Red at their Indiana farm. Lewis H. Winterson is greatly wor- ried over Mrs. Winterson 's health. Following her operation a few months ago she gained strength rapidly and even had been downtown shopping, but May 25 she suffered a relapse, two physicians being in the house when Mr. Winterson got word of it. W. J. Smyth is driving a new 6-cyl- inder Pierce Arrow touring car that fairly flies up and down Michigan ave- nue. George Pieser, who has been with the E. F.

At a meeting held May 24 the Nortlj Shore Horticultural Society, of which John Tiplady is president, voted to open the annual summer flower show at Lake Forest July 31. The North Shore organization takes in all of the towns from Evanston to Waukegan and a large display is expected from all of the big private estates, including the Swift and Armour establishments. Henry Wittbold reports that he was never more rushed on work for wed- dings than at the present time. He has been asked to furnish the floral decorations for eight June events with- in ten days, and as they are all the way from the south side to Waukegan it will keep his force on the run. His latest task of note was the decorations for the Northwestern University spring musical. Two houses 29x100 each, and two 27x 100 each, are being erected at River Forest for E. C. Waller. The Moninger iron frame is being used, together with their steam heat and wrought iron pip- ing system. Mr. Waller is agent for the Rookery building. W. L.

Business last week was a trifle more active than during the two preceding ones, due largely to the stimulation from the demand for cut flowers and corsage bouquets for the social func- tions incidental to the Junior week at Brown University. Funeral work also contributed to the activities, several deaths of prominent people calling for numerous pieces of considerable size. The latter part of the week saw an added stimulation through the demand for cut flowers and potted plants for Memorial Sunday and everybody did a good business. All kinds of stock were in jilentiful supply, the prices were nor- mal and the quality generally was up to standard. In potted stock gerani- ums, verbenas, hydrangeas and small rose bushes commanded the best sale. Ma^ the prices began to rise in an- ticipation of Memorial day and it is expected that they will rule one-third to one-half above normal. There ap- pears to be no fear of a shortage of any kind. Great demand has been made for galax and magnolia leaves and .Japanese wax flowers made up into crosses and wreaths, retailing at $1.50 to ,$.■) each. Various Notes. Eui:ene .\.

The Garden Association of New-port, made up of members of the summer colony at the City-by-the-Sea, is dis- tributing a large number of bulbs and seeds through the Civil League to the school children. Prizes have been of- fered by the association and already more than eighty entries have been made in the class for window boxes.

All the plantsmen in the suburbs see more business than even the great wholesale houses in the heart of the city. The plant business is at its height; there is the accumulated business of a late season that must be rushed through in short order, while the cut flower busi- ness, though fair, is dull before Me- morial day. Plants are going out of town in large numbers from the great shipping places at Riverton and West Philadelphia, while the army of smaller plant growers is supplying the homes and cemeteries with all manner of flowering and foliage plants. Prices are a shade lower in the cut flower market, due to the heavy sup- ply. Much stock is sold at figures that are fair for this season. The fea- tures are the Spencer sweet peas, which are so fine that the price has ad- vanced on a declining market, and the gladioli, in several of the best varieties. These are not the so-called baby gla- dioli— there are infants too — but the genuine gladioli, with large flowers and long, heavy stems. Peonies have not come in so rapidly as expected, and they are causing the wholesalers anx- ious moments. There are local peonies now and there will be more before Memorial day, but it is feared that the main army will be late. Boses are a shade less plentiful than they have been. Beauties particularly. Carnations are plentiful and good; red are selling unusually well. There are some fine Cattleya gigas, also some well grown, long-stemmed lilies. A few greenhouse- grown white asters, short-stemmed, have made their appearance. Various Notes. B. F. Rubel, of the Fleischman Flo- ral Co., Chicago, was here recently.

May has given us two records: the coldest May day in twenty years and the hottest May day in forty years; May 14 the mercury touched 43 degrees and May 21 it reached 90 degrees. Until Saturday the market was sick and demoralized, because of excessive shipments, low demand and hot weath- er. There was the usual week end clean-up, but with no advance from the summer rates which have prevailed. The present week, with its Memorial day demand, should be a great im- provement. The out-of-town and ceme- tery call was in evidence as early as Monday and many orders have been booked for shipments in all directions and at figures that should make the growers happy. American Beauties are abundant. Prices have not gone above 20 cents, and this price is only obtainable when the stock is selected. In quantity half this rate is gladly accepted. All roses are in great supply, especially Killarney, and hot weather does not agree with them. For the lower grades $5 per thousand is the limit. The spe- cialties in new roses maintain top fig- ures and are not abundant. Dainty baskets of these in the retail windows seem to prove an attractive advertise- ment at all times. Carnation stock is excellent, but prices are extremely low, the best of them selling at 2 cents and under. Lilies are expected to bring 8 cents for the holiday. They have been selling at half that figure. Callas should also reach the dollar a dozen stage this week. Valley fluctuates be- tween $1 and $2 per hundred. June weddings will lift it, undoubtedly, and also the orchids, which last week fell to about the lowest level on record, Mossise going down to $10 per hundred. There are many varieties, but no de- mand. Some of the older wholesalers are philosophic and say that is merely a recurrence of similar experiences at this date in previous years. Gladioli arc no longer a novelty and the arrivals Why not start today using: Pine Tree Florist Ribbons? which are a splendid collection of special ribbons for roses, violets aud all flowers. These beautiful and lus- trous qualities will finish your wedding displays, floral designs and funeral work in a "fetching" way. There is quality, rich finish, wanted shades and all widths in this great ribbon collection for your choosing and at manufacturers' prices.

From 2 cents to 10 cents is the quotation. America still holds first place in size and beauty. Lilac is about over for the season. Peonies come next and the market will soon be flooded with them. Good stock sells now as high as $1 a dozen, but it is scarce. Most of the arrivals sell at 50 cents per dozen and under, some as low as $2 per hundred. There is no lack of sweet peas, mignonette, stocks, daisies and other seasonable flowers. Spirsca and other outdoor blooms are beautifying the retail win- dows. Various Notes. .June 10 should prove an interesting evening at the New York Florists' Club. The peony exhibition promises to be large and final arrangements will be completed for the club's outing July 2. The annual outing of the Greek- American Florists' Association will take place at Wetzel's grove July 8. George Cotsonas says it will surpass all records in attendance. One of the firm of George Cotsonas & Co. will shortly leave on his annual purchasing trip to Europe. Mr. Hanfling, of Eussin & Hanfling, sailed for Europe June 28 with the intention of doubling last year's im- portations. A. F. Faulkner, of Washington, D. C, has been in New York for a week dis- posing of a surplus supply of peonies. Leo Klein has purchased the busi- ness of Misses Horn & Hess, 767 Lex- ington avenue.

Keports of a splendid trade are general. The auctions will continue two or three weeks longer. They have never been so well attended as this year, by the general public. J. J. Fellouris . has added a new of- fice to his conveniences. W. G. Badgley, of Badgley, Riedel & Meyer, Inc., has been displaying fine sprays of goldenrod grown in his own greenhouses, which has sold readily at 75 cents for a half dozen. Finding a new rose he was cultivating was not up to his expectations, he threw it put and put clumps of goldenrod in its place, thereby reaping the reward of con- scientiousness. The Pennock-Meehan Co. has become settled in its elegant new headquarters and Percy B. Eigby is delighted with the change. The old store, with others adjoining, is rapidly being dismantled, and Mr. Nicholas has several applica- tions from wholesale florists for the ground floors, when completed in the fall. The attendance May 25, at the meet- ing to consider establishing a cut flower auction, was not encouraging to its pro- moters, the Thurston Co. Of the dozen present, five were representatives of trade papers and three were wholesale florists on West Twenty-eighth street. The Growers' Cut Flower Co. is sad- Jy cramped for room and Manager Coan is at his wits' end frequently at this season, finding space for the big consignments. M. A.

Will you please give me some ad- vice as to how to get rid of the ants that eat all my carnations? I have a pile of compost made from the refuse from the kitchen and the garden, also from old soil and from all kinds of manure. Would this make good soil for carnations when mixed with old cow manure and wood ashes? How much wood ashes would you use? The wood ashes have been wet, as they are in the open air. Would it be well to mix the soil with bone meal? If so, how much? L. V. I would advise you not to use that conglomeration you describe for your carnations. It might do for potting your miscellaneous stock and, if you use it at all, use it that way. For your carnations, get some good, fresh soil and mix into it that old cow manure you speak of, in the proportion of three parts soil to one part manure. If you have not enough of the cow ma- nure, then add enough old stable ma- nure to make up the deficiency. Do this at once, in order that the compost may stand as long as possible before you use it. We do not use bone on our carna- tions, and have used none for three years. The wood ashes will do the most good if used as a top-dressing later, after the plants are established. You can then tell better whether it really is needed and in what quantity. The ashes should not be allowed to stand out in the weather, as the rains will leach them. To get rid of ants, mix sugar and Paris green, the same as you do for sow bugs. Take white sugar and mix in enough Paris green to give it a lively green color. Drop a little here and there on the edge boards along the beds. "' . A. F, J. Baur.

The Lancaster County Florists' Club met Thursday evening, May 16, in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, with President Albert M. Herr in the chair and with an attendance of more than fifty members. Rudolph Nagel read a paper on "Gardening, and the Flo- rists' Business, as Found in Germany." Mr. Nagel spent some years in the vicinity of Erfurt, Germany, the center of the seed growing industry of Europe, and he gave an interesting talk about some of the large establishments at that place. He was given a hearty vote of thanks by the club. It was decided that the florists hold an outing at Pequea, July 11, when a chicken and waffle supper will be served. On the exhibition table were a fine collection of well grown geraniums by Amos Rohrer, of Strasburg. Mr. Nagel showed specimen plants of several of his importations from Europe. H. D. Rohrer showed a choice vase of pink and white campanulas, which were much admired. After the business meeting, an hour was spent socially, when refreshments were served. The next meeting will be held in September. Send For New Spring Catalogue of Guaranteed Greenhouse Supplies. E. H. HUNT 131 N.

Tba Belleme Stratford, Philadelphia Broad aad Walnut Streets. WASHINGTON. The Market. Flowers of all kinds have been ex- ceptionally plentiful during the last week and prices have been correspond- ingly low. Large quantities of peonies have been coming into the market, but these are not expected to hold over Me- morial day. There is some talk of an increase in price on cut flowers during the present week, but the people will not purchase carnations, roses or simi- lar flowers when the prices look high, when they can get wild flowers or gar- den stock at less money. What they want is quantity rather than quality and flowers and foliage that will cover a lot of space. Aside from this holiday, the coming weeks are expected to be good ones from a business standpoint, due to commencement exercises, which always call for cut flowers in large quantities. Various Notes. Z. D. Blackistone filled an order call- ing for sixty shower bouquets of lav- ender sweet peas for the National Park Seminary. William Marche & Co. furnished American Beauty roses and orchids for the Summer School exercises at the Ho- tel Willard. George C. Shaffer last week was called on to decorate the private car which was to carry the remains of the late Alexander Stewart to his last rest- ing place. The decorations were elabo- rate and the order was a good one. The sides of the car were covered with as- paragus and 1,000 Easter lilies, 850 white peonies, 1,000 valley and fifty bunches of lavender peas, in addition to which quite a number of ferns and palms were used.

The entertainment committee of the Florists' Club has decided not to hold a banquet this year, due to the lateness of the season, but invitations will soon be issued to the members and their la- dies to attend a garden party to be held on the lawn surrounding the resi- dence of William F. Gude, in Petworth, D. C. The Washington Florists' Co. expects to be in its new home on H street some- time the latter part of the coming month. Building operations have been completed, but fixtures have not as yet been installed. Sidney Bayersilorfer, rei>resenting H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, came to town last week. Robert Shoch, with M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia, has been here several days. Adoli)hus Gude, who, accompanied by Mrs. Gude and their daughter, has been traveling through the west, has re- turned home. The party left the city early in the month to attend the con- vention of Shriners at Los Angeles, Cal., following which a visit was made to San Francisco, Tacoma, Seattle and a number of cities in the middle west.

There was a great change last week in market conditions, as compared with the week previous, and business got back into the old rut. The market was crowded with stock of all kinds, and prices dropped down to a low ebb again. This is not saying that the re- tail business was dull; it was reported by the leading retailers as quite good, especially in large pieces for funeral work. According to the wholesalers, stock met with a good demand, but the consignments were so large that they were not able to unload them, even at the low prices that prevailed. The approach of Memorial day will, no doubt, stiffen up the prices some- what, even if the heavy consignments continue, as an unusually heavy demand is looked for. Some heavy orders have been booked ahead. Peonies in white and pink are abun- dant, as local growers are sending them in big lots; these, with shipped-in stock, make the market top-heavy. Besides, sweet peas in all colors are so numer- ous that all the four wholesale markets are loaded down with them. There is also a heavy crop of roses, and most of these showed the effect of the warm weather. The bulk of the rose stock is composed of Killarneys. Carnations are holding up well, both in quality and size, and . in these, too, there is an overproduction. Lily of the valley is fine and meets with a good call. Asters and gladioli are limited in quantity, as yet. The markets are also well supplied with such outdoor stock as feverfew, forget- me-nots, candytuft and larkspur. Easter and candidum lilies are much too plen- tiful for the demand. The supply of greens is good. Various Notes. Charles Young, of the C.

Sons Co., is back at his post in the store after a month's hard work at the greenhouses, attending to the shipping orders. W. C. Young, the vice-presi- dent of the company, was ill last week, but is up and around again. There will be a meeting of the young men of the wholesale houses this week at Smith's, to wind up the affairs of the recent florists' dance. There is some talk of giving an excur- sion down the river next month, and at this meeting a committee will per- haps be appointed to look up arrange- ments and report at a future meeting. Thomas Carr, who has the largest plant stand at the Union Market, says he has been exceptionally busy all of the month. All kinds of blooming plants sold well and there was also a good run on bulbs and flower seeds. Miss Wilkerson and the Red Bud Floral Co., who also have plant stands at the market, report a busy season. The florists on South Broadway have had plenty of funeral designs to work up during the last week, especially the Diemer Floral Co. and Oscar Heile, who are close neighbors. Pierre Schneider, of the Oakland Floral Co., at Kirkwood, says that they have all their carnations planted in the field. They are still cutting a fine lot of carnations and peas. The stock from this firm is always in good demand at Kuehn 's. Robert J. Scott, the Schreve avenue florist, has had a successful season, sup- plying the market with fine Asparagus plumosus. He says it has paid him well to grow asparagus exclusively and he expects to enlarge his plant during the coming season. George Waldbart is cutting on his farm in St. Louis county a fine lot of outdoor flowers, which came in mighty handy during the last two busy weeks. The big show house is always attract- ive; Andy and Dave see to this end. Otto Sander is still at his old stand, under the Century theater, and his show is as attractive as ever. He has not, as yet, found a suitable location We Quarantee Satisfaction FLORAL CO. 413 Madison Ave., Cor. 48th St., NEW YORB Bellevue Avenue, Newport, £. L All orders receive careful attention.

Widmer has his place at East St. Louis, 111., in running order again, after it had been badly damaged by water from a fire next door. Mr. Wid- mer says his Highland, 111., place had a fine business in plants this spring. The East St. Louis store is offered for sale. The city water department parks — the Reservoir, under the care of Phil Giebel, and the Chair of Rocks, under the charge of W, E. Robinson — are looking their best. The improved bed- ding of the last year is exceedingly attractive. These two parks do not come under the supervision of the city park department. C. E. De Wever, who is chairman of the bulletin committee, has called a meeting of the committee, to be held on Thursday afternoon, June 13, at 1 o'clock, in the meeting rooms of the St. Louis Florists' Club. The club will hold a meeting the same afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The comparative scarcity of jasmine gave more confidence to the wholesalers in their efforts to dispose of the big lots of white carnations that have been coming in daily. Geo. H.

Paddy, of the Smith force, was heard to remark during the hot days of the last week: "This should inspire the photographers with the idea of taking a moving picture of the flowers growing. ' ' Most of the local greenhouse men say that bedding stock is running low, especially the stock of good geraniums. This has been a trying season, as it was late in starting and the recent hot weather has rushed the planting to the limit, even with extra forces of help. A meeting will be called early next week at Kuehn's, to start the florists' bowling club again and start practice for the S. A. F. tournament at Chi- cago.

The members of the company are: H. L. Clark, president; J. H. Bux- ton, vice-president; James R. Kooken, secretary, and L. A. Kooken, treasurer. Mr. Buxton is a florist of long expe- rience and will have personal charge of the business. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Bedding plants are moving rapidly, especially red geraniums, which are sold out with most growers. Every- body is busy with spring work and anybody that has good stock has no trouble in disposing of it. Mothers' day proved to be a success. The downtown stores had their win- dows well decorated for the day and the leading newspapers played it up in gt od shape, including the wearing of flowers in honor of mother. Conse- quently the florists did a good business. It shows what publicity in newspapers and otherwise will do. Various Notes. The Woodmere Floral Co. reports a good shipping business and also in- creased retail trade. Rahn & Herbert are almost sold out on bedding plants. This firm produced a fine lot of Hall Caine geraniums, which sold on sight. Their palms, of which they make a specialty, are look- ing fine. A Florists' Club has been started here, the second meeting being held this week, when officers will be elected. A. A. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. The warm weather of the last few weeks has brought the outside stock along and it now looks as though we would have plenty of flowers for Me- morial day. Mothers' day sales were better than in previous years, but there still seems a tendency to buj' only white flowers and especially white carnations. Car- nations are scarce, while roses are be- coming more plentiful and of much better quality. rieiiding stock is moving in fine shape, most wholesalers having sold out, and the prices are holding up well. Geraniums and lobelias seem especially scarce. Various Notes. The Fife Floral Co. is cutting some fine outdoor sweet i»eas. The Florists' Club held its regular meeting Thursday, May 16, with a good attendance. Everyone expressed his satisfaction over the results obtained by the committee on prices. Mr. Olsen, gardener at the Western Washington hospital, showed the club a few fronds of a new fern originating at the hos- pital greenhouses. This is a sport of Boston and all agreed it was the best thing they had seen. The next regular club meeting will be held June 6. J. L. S. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. The approach of Memorial day and an exceptional call for funeral work led to a much better tone in the market last week and stocks in the wholesale houses are not overflowing as they were. While the Memorial day trade usually calls for a cheap or medium grade of stock, there has been a distinctly bet- ter demand for indoor roses, valley and other flowers of the better grades. There has not been anything particu- larly brilliant or rushing about the business, but a decidedly better feeling all around in the retail end has caused more liberal buying and the wholesalers are doing all in their power to stimu- late business by putting the price right to the man who, while not a plunger, yet is not afraid to buy a few flowers that are not already ordered by his cus- tomers. The most promising sign of the times in Los Angeles is the decided advance in shipping business to out-of-town points. More and more the retailers in cities and small towns within a ra- dius of 500 miles are finding that stock shipped from liere gives better satis- faction to their customers and pays better for handling than flowers grown by purely local men who have not the facilities to grow the class of. flowers that an enlightened public is looking for. The outlook for Memorial day is decidedly good and, while May has not been all that could be desired, there are always dull months and this has been infinitely better than May often has been. Coming to individual kinds of flowers, there is not much to choose between them. One day outdoor roses clean up best, next day carnations ha-ve the call, but there is room for all that is good. One part of the trouble is that growers persist in sending in stock which is not good by any means and thus creating a glut of stock that no self-respecting wholesaler can handle. Greens are still scarce and there is no prospect that long strings of smilax or plumosus will be any more plentiful. There is plenty of Sprengeri, short plu- mosus and huckleberry and the new crops of brake fern and Mexican ivy look good. Various Notes. The H. N. Gage Co. is handling a fine line of watsonias, white and col- ored. Shipping business keeps up well and both Mr. and Mrs. Gage are always on hand, smiling and busy. At the Los Angeles Flower Market I noted fine Romneya Coulteri, the Mati- lija poppy, a grand flower for large decorations and decidedly the finest native Californian plant. The Easter lilies are also good, better than much of the indoor stock that comes here ANYTHING YOU NEED IN CUT FLOWERS We also make a specialty of GREENS OF ALL KINDS— Huckleberry, Brake, Mexican Ivyt Maidenhair, Aaparag^us Plumosus and Spreng^eri.

Creutz is away on a northern trip. Several large church decorations have kept the staff busy at J. W. Welters' Hill street store. The windows are cer- tainly a credit to the decorators, a nice lot of gloxinias in pots, with a grand showing of orchids, being unusually pretty. Another window, treated with ranuTiculus, yellow callas and fine gla- dioli, was distinctly good. The shipping business at S. Murata's, on Hill street, is away above the aver- age for the season. Banquets and wedding decorations, with good funeral work, are keeping the Hayward Floral Co. busy. Tony Tassano has been out of town several days, visiting places unknown to the general public, whence come green goods. H. R. Richards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. A few showers during the last week have helped to freshen everything ex- cept business, but this is at a low ebb. With most of the townspeople on the way to the seaside or mountains, and the schools closed for the summer, there is little trade to speak of. There are quite a lot of Memorial day orders coming from outside points. It is cer- tain there will be no shortage of stock. From all appearances, there will be plenty of everything that will be called for. White stock, however, is begin- ning to show a slight advance over other flowers and we can look for it to go a bit higher. Bride gladioli seem to be rather scarce. Sweet peas are plentiful and good. Carnations are about the same as they have been, with the possible exception of the white sorts. Roses are cheap. Iris is on the wane. Lilium rubrum and several other Japanese va- rieties are getting more plentiful daily. All other kinds of stock are about the same as they have been for several weeks.

In future the firm's business in that town will be con- ducted from the Shattuck avenue branch. George C. Roeding, of Tresno, Cal., head of the Department of Horticulture of the Panama Pacific Exposition, has recently been in town, attending to duties connected with his division. G. BELT.TNGHAM, WASH. The retail florists here report trade as good for the season. H. E. Juenemann, in charge of the government bulb propagating garden, located near this city, left May 16 for Washington, D. C, whence he will pro- ceed on an extensive trip to Europe. Henry Klopfer arrived recently from Chico, Cal., and will look after the work during Mr. Juenemann 's absence. Thou- sands of visitors from this city and other points on the Sound have been attracted to the garden during the last six weeks, to see the beautiful effects produced by the thousands of hyacinths, narcissi and tulips, in full bloom. On my last visit there, I found, to my great sorrow, that the last of the late and Darwin tulips had been plucked off and duly disposed of in a hole, said to be eighty feet deep, by Uncle Sam's faith- ful servants. The weather has been summer-like for some time, and flower lovers have been busy with spade, rake and hose in every direction. R. A. T. VISITOBS AT SAN MATEO. Probably the best known commercial horticultural establishment in the vicin- ity of San Francisco, even though it is but a few years old, is that of the Mac- Rorie-McLaren Co., at San Mateo. Dan MacRorie first visited the coast as a traveler for an eastern concern. He had the gift of seeing into the future and recognized that the horticultural trade on the coast, and particularly in the vicinity of San Francisco, was far behind the population and bound to have a big growth within a few years. He resolved to be on the ground when the boom came, and the MacRorie- McLaren Co. was the result of his deter- mination. From a small beginning at San Mateo a good sized range was built up so quickly that it surprised even the sanguine owners. Practically all lines of plant growing were given a place and the establishment soon came to be one of the show places of the vicinity. Phoenix Can., ball- ed, b7 tbe carload: 8.

Kendel, Cleveland, O. Thirtieth annaal convention, Chicago, Jnne 25 «o 27, 1912. Gladiolus bulbs have cleaned up pretty well, although here and there a small surplus is reported. B. A. James, Charleston, 111., has se- cured a new location on Sixth street and will install an up-to-date seed cleaning plant. "W. Atlee Buepee is en route to Cali- fornia and Howard Earl is on his way to Europe. Each is on a tour of crop inspection. The seed store of John P. De Haan, 600 River street, Paterson, N. J., was damaged by fire May 17 to the extent of 4 few hundreds of dollars. Henry Field, the Shenandoah, la., seedsman, has bought a factory building near the Burlington tracks, to permit the business of his company to keep on growing. The Holland bulb growers had an un- usually early flowering season this year and apparently the quality of the crop, given fair weather conditions from this time on, will be excellent. Lester L. Morse, of San Francisco, was invited to act as one of the jury of : awards at the international horticultural . exhibition just closing at London, but was unable to visit England at this sea- ;Son. The seed trade now generally prints , the disclaimer below the date line on let- ter-heads, instead of above it, as was the practice before The Review called atten- tion to certain court decisions on the sub- ject. A REPORT from Holland states that spinach and radish have suffered severely this spring and that the large acreage sown will not make a big supply, while turnip was practically annihilated by the bad weather. The action of the American Seed Trade Association, in deciding to hold its thirtieth annual convention behind closed doors, will afford Congressman Mann and those of his kind a point of which much can be made in favor of the regu- lation of the seed trade by law. Though there be no other basis for it, secrecy is enough to breed suspicion. J. Guille, of the Hubert Bulb Co., Portsmouth, Ya., states that he has been advised that he has been awarded a large part of the order for bulbs for the 1913 government free seed distribution, in spite of the fact that the bids from foreign growers were lower. Mr. Guille says that the Hubert Bulb Co. now has sixty-five acres devoted to bulb growing at Portsmouth.

It is reported that the organization of a corporation to be known as the Great Northern Seed Co. is under way at Wau- sau, Wis. The capital is to be $25,000. The seed store of Charles Cline, Abing- don, 111., now is located in the Foltz building on East Meek street. A building ■on North Jefferson street is used for stor- age. The May business has turned out especially well. The delayed planting season has resulted in a strong finish, keeping the clerks on the jump much later than usual. James Cureie, who is a park commis- sioner at Milwaukee, has joined with a rabbi and an architect on the board in an effort to raise the character of the summer music in the parks — less rag time and more classical. A NEW Canadian seed company has been incorporated, with its principal offices at Wilkie, Sask. The capital is $100,000. Clifford Willes, of Minne- apolis, and Herbert Vanderhoof and J. H. Petit, of Chicago, are among the in- corporators. They will give their atten- tion chiefly to the growing of farm seeds. A CORRESPONDENT at Dows, la., states that E. H. Capellen is making prepara- tions to start a wholesale and retail seed business on his farm in Morgan town- ship. He has purchased some of his equipment and has completed his plans for the erection of the necessary build- ings. He will deal in all kinds of seed, but will make a specialty of sugar cane seed.

Seed Co., had the following interesting comments to make: "It is diflBcult to say anything about the present conditions in the pea grow- ing district without singing that same old pessimistic tune about the prospect for a crop. To begin with, the soil was extremely dry in some sections when cold weather came on last fall, and in other sections an abundance of rain had fallen earlier in the fall, so that the soil was as moist as usual. The ground was covered by a good depth of snow all through the winter and this snow melted so gradually that all of the water was absorbed by the soil. This put the ground into good condition for working, but the cold weather hung on so steadily and so late that few peas were sown in any of our growing sec- tions before May" L The earlier sown peas germinated' slowly, as the ground continued cold up to May 20. We have not, however, had any reports that would indicate poor germination of the seed on account of either the cold or the wet. "On account of the continued cold the peas have an unusually late start and this in itself is a bad feature, be- cause it will carry the peas over into the extreme heat of late June and July that, it seems, we are almost certain to have. In some of our growing sections seeding is not completed and we pre- sume some few of our growers will be sowing peas as late as June 5 to 10. With the seeding spread over a period of four weeks or more, we hope that at least a portion of the crops will have favorable conditions during the entire growing period. This spring we have escaped in this state and in northern Michigan the snow storm that has usually come about May 1 and we have also escaped all frosts so far. "Advices received from Montana and Idaho aeotions state that there have been several snow storms and one or two hard frosts or freezes during May. None of these storms, however, has done any damage to the peas with the excep- tion of delaying the seeding on a por- tion of the acreage. Between these storms the weather has been favorable for peas and all of those sown are mak- ing rapid growth. Our reports indicate that the seed generally has gone into the ground in fine condition. "With anything like normal weather from now on we think the prospect is good for somewhere near a normal crop. A good crop of peas is certainly needed by everyone in the seed trade and we hope that it will be realized." THE SEED SEASON. It Was a Good One. That the seed selling season of 1912 was one of the best on record, estab- lishing a new high mark for most of the houses, is apparent from the ex- tracts from letters from seedsmen that have been published in the last two issues of The Review. Correspondence received in the last week goes to show that the latter part of the season is turning out especially well. Here are extracts from letters written late in May.

The thirtieth annual convention of the American Seed Trade Association will be held at the Hotel Sherman, Chi- cago, June 25 to 27. In announcing the program Secretary C. E. Kendel says: "A radical departure will be made in the conduct of the meeting, every session being executive, none but members and their representatives be- ing admitted to the meetings. It is felt that at only such meetings can a full and free discussion be had on the many vital subjects that are of interest to the seed trade." The order of business is as follows: President's address. Report of secretary-treasurer. Election of members. Reports of committeos. Reading of communications. Unflnistied business. New business. Qeneral dlscussiona. Election and installation. The opening session will be held at 10 a. m. Tuesday, June 25. The pro- gram of papers, etc., is as follows: "Seed Corn Breeding," by L. S.

"Opportunities for a Young Man in the Seed Business," by Arthur B. Clark, Mllford, Conn. •■Recent Decisions on the Seed Trade Dis- claimer," by Curtis Nye Smith, counsel of the association, Boston, Mass. Crop reports — Latest wire reports of crop con- ditions from the leading growers. Question box — Opportunity to have some prob- lems aolred. The crop reports, a feature first tried two years ago, has proved so satisfac- tory that it will be brought into great- er prominence at this convention. The secretary says in his letter: "Atten- tion is invited to the question box, which was revived at the last conven- tion with much profit. Latest crop re- ports will be presented again this year, as they were last — an invaluable fea- ture, to be had in no other way as com- plete and accurate.

The nurseries specializing in orna- mentals have had their largest season to date. The shipments of citrus fruits from southern California for the season to May 9 have been 21,237 carloads. Archibald McGill, who was formerly secretary and treasurer of the Oregon Nursery Co., at Orenco, Ore., but who recently disposed of his interests in the business, has gone to Winnipeg, Man., in company with his wife and son, Wayne, and they will spend the summer there. They expect to spend next winter in California, Geo. T.

Mr. Tippin is also sched- uled to read a paper on "Packing and -Marketing. ' ' ^ PROPAGATING EVERGREENS. I am starting a small nursery here on the Gulf coast of Texas, and ex- pect to make a specialty of broad- leaved evergreen shrubbery. Most of these seem to come from cuttings all right, but are uncertain when put in the open ground. I understand that they can be propagated with much more certainty under glass, in a so- called close atmosphere. What I wish especially is shrubs like box, euony- mus, jasmine, privet, evergreen vines, etc. Some propagate quite easily, others not easily at all. I also have several thousand mag- nolia fig cuttings and trees. Last win- ter, except in a few privileged loca- tions, the wood suitable for cuttings was frozen back badly. This will likely make fig trees high priced next season. I am desirous of seeing whether I can propagate some fig trees from the green growth made since spring. I rather doubt whether it can be done, but perhaps it can. Tf I should purchase a complete outfit of hotbeds, both frames and sashes, these ought to do the work satisfac- torily, it seems to me. The only difli- culty is this: Supposing, for instance, the frame is built for five sashes. In case of putting in cuttings under one MentloD The Reyle^y when you write. B. & A.

GEORGE B. HART, 24 to 30 Stone St., ROCHESTER, N. Y. such work, what height of frame would you recommend? I understand that sand is generally used in such propagating frames. We have plenty of finely disintegrated sea- shell sand near my place and would expect to use that. From experience, I know that it holds moisture well and that stock roots in it easily. With the high winds here, perhaps it would pay better to get the 1%-inch frames, as sashes are liable to get blown down, etc., when off the frame. J. H. In order to have success in propa- gating evergreens such as you name, a coldframe or small greenhouse is an absolute necessity. Of course the lat- ter is preferable, but, failing this, much propagation can be done under coldframe sashes, or hotbed sashes as they are sometimes called. Give your frame just sufficient pitch so that it will throw off water easily. There is no need to have it high; twelve inches at the back and eight inches at the front will suffice. It is easy to bank around it in winter in case of severe weather, such as you had early in the present year. A division of wood is easily placed in your frame, below the sashbars, and you can in this way enclose one or more sashes. The cuttings of evergreens will root in either sand or sandy soil, the latter being better. Be sure, however, to have a good surface covering of the sand, say two inches thick. Impor- tant points to remember in propagat- ing either evergreens or deciduous shrubs are that until rooted they need a close, moist atmosphere, and that [Concluded on pai?e 94.] YOUNG Rose plants This is fine, clean, strong, healthy stock FROM 2112-INCH POTS 100 1000 American Beauties $4.fiO White Killamey 5.00 Klllarney 5.00 Perle 4.00 $10.00 40.00 40.00 30.00 Retuly tor Immadiat* Shipment.

Larger shipments, and more of them than had been the rule for a fortnight, came into the wholesale houses and at times the supply became so great that it was diflScult to move the stock with any degree of success. The good demand, however, kept up steadily and it was only the excess sup- ply that caused the accumulation. Prices shaded but little and most offerings of real quality found buyers. The peony supply for Memorial day is large and, as a whole, of a better quality than we have had for that day in recent years. Some large growers who ship to this market are just begin- ning to cut, while local wholesalers have been placing the first quality blooms in storage for the last fortnight. The supply of other stock seems ade- quate. Roses and carnations continue to arrive in quantity. Baby gladioli have been in a slightly larger supply than necessary, while the choice large ones clean up on sight. Easter lilies are still in oversupply, but should clean up for Memorial day. Sweet peas are again offered in quantity, but have been cleaning up only moderately well. Large quantities of cape jasmine are also arriving from Texas. The green goods market is enjoying a large demand. The principal items are new southern and Kentucky ferns and green sheet moss. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell has been having such a heavy call for new ferns that at times he has had to do some tall hus- tling to get his fern men to keep up an adequate supply. The South Park Floral Co. is ship- ping excellent Beauties of all lengths to E. G. Gillett. L. H. Kyrk has offered the first corn- flower this season. He said that he would have enough of this for Memo- rial day to furnish the blue for all flags used in this vicinity. George Klot- ter is the grower. P. J. dinger for a time feared his peony field would miss for Memorial day. The warm, sunny weather, how- ever, was with him and the cut made the day easily. William Murphy expresses himself as well satisfied with the way sales com- pare with other years. He is doing more than ever before, apparently.

Y. The Market. Business was good last week, but a few warm days have had a depressing influence some of the time. All flo- rists are looking forward to Memorial day as the next big event and are pre- pared to do a big business. Because of the late spring there are loads of lilac, tulips and daisies on hand. Out- door flowers and plants are sold mostly for Memorial day in this city. Com- pared with the great quantities of loose flowers and bouquets used, there are few demands for designs and baskets for the decoration of graves. Koses are arriving in greater quan- tity since the warm, spell; however, the quality is good and the rise in tem- perature has not yet adversely affected stock in general. Beauties are more abundant and the price is down. There are few short Beauties. Carnations are getting smaller and poorer in quality. Daffodils and narcissi have disappeared for another year. Outdoor valley has come and is excellent. Sweet peas are getting better every day. Cattleyaa are excellent and the demand for them is still strong, since there are no more violets. Flowering plants are scarce. Plant Ferns When Your Benches are Empty I have 50,000 Beaton, in 3-in. pots, at $60.00 per 1000. One hundred at thousand rate.

June 26 was designated as lilac day at Highland park and the wonderful collection of the dainty, fragrant shrub was at its finest. Felix Alberts has a charming wed- ding decoration display in the window of Henry P. Neun's store on North street. It consists of hydrangeas, Aus- tralian ferns and palms, an aisle marked off by ribbons, kneeling bench, etc. The bride's shower bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets are also nicely displayed. It is a fetching win- dow. George Boucher reports business as exceptionally good the last few weeks. He had several big jobs recently. He has purchased a new Buick touring car, which he and his wife are enjoying immensely. William Keller and Chas. Vick spent May 23 in Syracuse.

H. FREY LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 72 The Weekly Florists' Review. Max 80, 1912. DENVER. The Market. The first few days of the week of May 13 were cold and dark, and stock was scarce. Carnations had beeni picked closely to supply the demand for Mothers' day and orders could not be filled completely for three or four days afterward. Then the sun came out bright and hot, almost as hot as in July, and since then carnations have been plentiful. Tea roses in white and red are not in oversupply; neither are Beauties in short and medium lengths. The outlook for Decoration day is more promising than it was a short time ago. There is the assurance of a good crop of carnations, roses and sweet peas. Lilacs are in fine condi- tion, for the first time in several years, and will help out a great deal. No one is planning much on cape jasmine and it will likely be late. There will be no snowballs; they are also late. A few Pseonia officinalis rubra are seen, but the other varieties of peonies will not be out for a couple of weeks. The porch box and bedding business is at its height, and all landscape gar- deners are working day and night to get their orders filled. Various Notes. The Columbine Floral Co. is the name of a firm that opened a new store at 817 Fifteenth street last week. Thomas D. Long, of the Elitch-Long Greenhouses, was taken to St. Joseph's hospital. May 22, suffering from an attack of appendicitis. The latest re- port states that he is improving. No operation was performed. The Coterie, of the Park Floral Co., was entertained at dinner on Sunday evening. May 19, by Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Kennedy, at their home, 1960 Sherman street. George Brenkert is anxious to sell or lease his greenhouses. He feels that after so many years of hard work, during which time he has accumulated a small fortune, he is entitled to take a vacation and live on "Easy street" for a while. The Daniels & Fisher Stores Co. and the Park Floral Co. are getting ship- ments of cut ferns from Oregon, which are extra fine. Visitors: D. R. Gwillim, Victor, Colo.; L. E. Highley, Hot Springs, S. D.; A. Gude, Washington, D. C; Mrs. F. A. Haenselman, Boulder, Colo. M. R. J. iWce Lake, Wis. — G. C. Soper is start- ing in business here. His place will be known as the Elm Grove Gardens. C, A.

Mention The Review when vou write. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. Trade conditions are good and busi- ness has been lively. Roses and car- nations are plentiful, but show the ef- fects of the warm weather. Flowers of all kinds are abundant for Memorial day. Outdoor flowers are much in evi- dence. Various Notes. Julius Niednagel & Sons are cutting heavily of roses and carnations. Mr. Niednagel has begun the erection of a $7,000 residence, just a little nearer the street than the old one. At the plant of the Wm. Blackman Floral Co. the roses are in excellent shape, especially the stock in the two new houses, My Maryland and Killar- ney. The Killarney is grafted stock and is getting a nice start. My Mary- land is year-old plants, replanted, and looks great. The carnations that have been planted are getting a fine start. A trial is being made of old carnation plants, run over. From the present looks of them, prospects are that the trial will be a success. Miss Nellie Goodge is busy these days and looks for an especially large business this week. J. C. Elspermann is so busy that he has a hard time to keep up with orders for outdoor planting. Funeral work helps to keep him on the jump. Louis Fritsch is getting his share of the trade. Henry Seymour has had considerable to do lately. His carnations are still in good condition and producing some nice flowers. Karl Zeidler is at work on his new houses. C. L. Niednagel is rapidly getting his two houses up. He will soon be ready for the glass. E. L. F. Chassell, Mich.— A. W. York, the flo- rist, has taken an active part in the organization of a local bank, which will begin business with a capital stock of $20,000. Jacksonville, Fla. — The New York Floral Co. has been incorporated here, with a capital of $5,000. The officers are: N. Davis, president and treas- urer; Louise Davis, vice-president; F. L. Robinson, secretary. These offi- cers constitute the board of directors.

HEATING HINTS. George T. Elliott, son of W. H. El- liott, Madbury, N. H., and Brighton, Mass., is the author of the following hints: * ' To make a stiff or immovable joint, use shellac; for a movable joint, use graphite. Red lead is the best all- around substance to use. "To find the water line in a steam boiler when the water is below the glass, take a wet cloth and draw it quickly down over the head sheet. You will have to do this three or four times to find out the line of the water. The water from the cloth will evaporate quicker where the steam is than where the water is. "Keep the register in the fire door open a little. It helps to burn the gases which generally go up the chim- ney. "Keep the flues in your boiler clean; soot is a non-conductor of heat. "Set up the hand holes and man hole on tubular boilers after they are under way, as the heat expands them, and they are liable to leak. "Put a piece of white cardboard with a narrow strip of red ribbon on it behind the water glass, and you will not have to lose your eyesight looking for the water in the night. "If the boiler gets to foaming, cool it down and let the water settle; then start it up easily again. You would bet- ter put a clean supply of water in the boiler when the fire is out and the sun shining in good shape. * ' Do not turn on the cold water when you do not see any in the glass; you are liable to be picked up in the next county." BOILEB WORKED POORLY. We have a house 25x180, six feet to the eaves, fourteen feet to the ridge, with glass in the south end nnd three feet four inches of glass in the sides. There is a 3-inch flow on each side wall, with four 2-inch returns below each flow pipe, and one 2-inch return on each walk, making two 3-inch flows and ten Nake Your Boiler an Asset, NotaUabifity neau li flue i A boiler costs enough so that every florist should be anxious to get the most possible for his money ; he should closely investigate sev- eral styles before choosing. The more you investigate the more sure it is that you'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- ially for greenhouse work after a close study of what was needed. It is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but —more flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller.

I do not have any trouble to keep up temperature of 50° in tlie coldest weather. I fire only once after 12 o'clock midnight. The boiler has given perfect satis- faction. I have four cast iron boilers— like the Kroeschell best of all. If anyone wishes to inquire about your boiler, let them write me, for I think your boilers are good ones. Charle.'> Schui.tz, Menominee, Mich. Cist Iron Boilers Crack Our large cast iron sectional boiler cracked one section and the header last Sunday. It seemed to turn cold about the same time that the break occurred. By Monday night it was 14" below zero. How- ever, by putting up coal stoves, oil stoves, lamps and pushing up the small furnace we have managed to keep most of our stock in pretty good shape, and our total loss, furnace and all, will be between $500 and $600. Just luck that it was not all gone. New Kroeschell boiler ordered by telegraph on Sunday, shipped Monday, reached here on Friday ; hauled to greenhouse on Satur- day and started a fire Sunday ; just seven days and ten hours after the accident. When dealing with people who will deliver a boiler as quick as that you cannot give up. Yours very truly, MtcHi.ER Bros. Ck)., Lexington, Ky. CAST IRON BOILERS CRACK I want to thank you for your promptness in shipping the boiler I or- dered of you on January 13th. I Imd a breakdown, one ot a battery of two cast iron boilers cracked so it was impossible to use same, so I got you on the telephone at 8:30 a. m.. January 13th, and ordered one of your hot water boilers. Same was put in my boiler room in the after- noon of January 15th, after which we built foundation and connected up. Since that time the boiler has taken care of same Klass as the two cast iron boilers had done, easier and better in every way. (Signed) Andrew Bather, Clinton, Iowa. NOT CAST IRON probably had more practtoal experience in this line than anr other treen' house man. and jre place his experience at rour service. The Kroeschell Piping System- Circulation is perfect. Cheaper and better than 1, 1'4, 1^ or 2-inch threaded pipe. Overcomes all the disadvantages of 4-inch cast iron pipe. No deep boiler pits required. The Kroeschell Generator- Cures sluggish circulation. Water travels three to five times faster. Saves fuel. Prevents boiling over. Water can be heated to 240° without boiling, making it possible to have steam temperatures in your piping if wanted. Oreatly improves systems having long mains and coils. Can be connected to any hot water system, no matter what kind of boiler or piping is used. Easy to install— simply attach to your present expansion pipe.

The boiler is set in brick. The coldest out- door temperature is about 25 degrees above zero. We use oil (distillate) for fuel. We can not seem to get the desired heat when we have continuous cold weather. Would a larger boiler heat up the pipes better? Is that a good style of boiler for' hot water, or would a regular steam boiler be better? How do you figure the heating capac- ity of a boiler for hot water? The reason we use a shell boiler is that we think that when using oil it gets the heat distributed through the water bet- ter. E. O. H. All prlza winners do. See ad page 92. The size of your boiler is all right and the style* is good, as it has a large heating surface. Keep the boiler flues clean and the water in the system clean, and it should work satisfactorily. The boiler has nearly its capacity. Give the boiler a good cleaning, and next winter push it in good shape, and it will heat all right. In regard to the heating capacity of a hot water boiler, figure twenty-two square feet of radiation for every 100 square feet of glass, multiplied by 1.5. Divide this by 125. The answer found will be the grate area. Eatio of your style, boiler in heating surface to grate area is twenty to twenty-five. F. E. THE FUEL SITUATION. It appears that the settlement of the anthracite miners' wage controversy will have little if any effect on steam coals, but that the average price of the domestic sizes of anthracite will be in- creased about 25 cents a ton as a result of the wage increase granted to the mine workers, who have just resumed work after forty-four days of idleness. According to calculations at the time the mine workers presented their de- mands, those demands, if granted, would have increased the cost of pro- duction of all sizes of anthracite 40 cents a ton, and, since the competition of soft coal makes impossible an ad- vance in the price of the steam sizes, the added cost of production would have been covered by advancing the price of the domestic sizes, which comprise sixty per cent of the total production, 66% cents a ton. But the mine workers and operators reached a compromise agree- ment which provides for a wage in- crease not as great as that originally demanded. From the books of the com- panies it is calculated that a price ad- vance of about 20 cents on domestic sizes will be required to cover the wage increase finally granted. The balance of the price advance of 25 cents will go toward making up the increase in the cost of production, aside from labor cost, that has taken place in the last ten years. There has been no general advance in the price of anthracite since 1903. The spot prices of bituminous coal are about at the usual end-of-May level. Contract prices are slightly advanced, because of the boost given the miners' wages. Athens, Ga. — Thomas Pennock has taken charge of the Cruse gardens here. He came from Gainesville, Ga., where he had for more than six years been employed by J. E. Jackson, proprietor of the Piedmont Greenhouses. Where We Stand on Boilers and Heating FIRST let U8 tell you where we stand on boilers ! For ranges up to a certain size it has been proven time and time again that the most econ- omical boilers to use are our cast iron ones. This applies to both water and steam systems. Having proven this so conclusively, we quite naturally stand by the proof. When, however, ranges exceed what we call an "Economy limit," we promptly advise the use of wrought boilers. In such cases we will either furnish such a boiler for you or suggeft the best ones we know in the field. So much for the boiler— now for the various Heating Systems. Here, again, enter the same economy proofs that must and do guide us in endeavoring to guide you. It's simply a case of the sys- tem best adapted to your particular needs. Whether that be a question of water, steam, gravity, or me- chanical circulation, and so on, matters not to us. in tal(ln|r our advice on Heat* ins tiiere's also this to remem- ber: We were the first heating engineers to enter the greenhouf-e heating field. We installed green- house heating itself a good many yearc before we started building greenhouses. It stands to reason, then, that our sixty years' experience, back - ing up our present up-to-date ideas and actions, is a mighty valuable thing for you to get the advantage of. Our prices are such as must of a surety alwajs be asked fo;- materials of the best, combined with work- manship by the high(>8t pkilled heating men in the business.

This city has seven raUroads, besides the electric line, and C. J. Brockman makes good use of a time card for local advertising, supplementing his news- paper advertising. He gets out a neat card, giving the time of each train on each road and also the car time of the electric line. Across the top and bot- tom of the card he prints his advertise- ment. In speaking of the card he said: "This is an advertising scheme which I have found to be good, when supple- mented with newspaper advertising. It is a railway timetable and street car guide, and also express company guide, which every business house needs and after using a while they find it indis- pensable. I have been putting out a new one about every three months. Of course they should be kept up to date, and it might be necessary to get them out oftener sometimes. They are printed on cardboard, and tacked or hung up in prominent public places and given to business houses that desire them. We find they bring us considerable business and we get many compliments for our enterprise and public spirit. The good will of the public is a valuable asset, when supplemented by good service. The printer keeps the type set up, and any change in the timetable or adver- tising copy is easily made." BALTIMOBE, MD.

[Concluded from pace 64.] they must be freely syringed and not exposed to the direct sun's rays. Some evergreens root much more quickly than others. Euonymus radi- cans roots easily in June and July, when the new growths are still a little soft. It also roots readily later in the season from mature wood, particularly if it can have a little bottom heat. The various privets and jasmines also root either from soft or mature wood. The privet cuttings can be taken just before winter sets in, tied in bundles, buried in the ground and set out closely in nursery rows in early spring, taking care to tramp them in firmly. Box propagates readily if set out in the same w.ay, provided the cuttings are not taken from too thick or old wood and are thoroughly firmed in the rows, or they can be placed in frames in early spring if desired. Be sure, however, that box never suffers from lack of water. English ivy is of easy propagation in spring, summer or fall in frames, but outdoors it would be doubtful, unless the weather should prove ideal for propagation; that is, damp, cool and cloudy. The hottest weather is not so suitable for propa- gation as spring and late summer, the latter period being the best for the bulk of evergreens. If by magnolia figs you refer to the handsome southern evergreen tree, Magnolia grandiflora, you wiTl not have any success in propagating it from soft wood. Save the seeds which ripen in September or early October and keep them in dry sand over win- ter; then, two weeks before sowing in flats, change to damp sand, after which wash them well before sowing. Pot off singly, and later plant out- doors. You will find this method of propagation preferable to trying either soft or mature wood. Layering, how- ever, can be done, but you should pot the layers and keep them under glass until established, rather than set them directly outdoors. With a propagating frame or house, the sashes need lifting only a little unless it is extremely hot. As little air as possible should be admitted and the frames should be closed suflficiently early each day to bottle up a good sun heat, always spraying over the cut- tings before closing up. C. W.

The Lake Shore Greenhouses, on the north shore of Fountain lake, constitute one of the largest establishments of the kind in the state of Minnesota, known to the trade in aU parts of the west and northwest and bearing a high reputation for the general excellence of the stock produced. The business has grown from a small beginning in 1885, when P. Clausen re- tired from the furniture business and as a lover of flowers and for his per- sonal pleasure erected a greenhouse With no idea of growing flowers for profit. A considerable local demand came for flowers, however, and he grad- ually worked into the line and to build- ing, with his son, the present extensive business. In 1897, G. A. Clausen, who had had charge of the business during the absence of P. Clausen on a trip to the old home in Denmark, became asso- ciated in the business as a partner, and as the partnership of P. Clausen & Son it has been developed to its present size, 50,000 square feet of glass. The larger part of the glass is devoted to growing cut flowers. While Albert Lea furnishes a good market and large quantities of stock are shipped to points in Freeborn county and surrounding territory, the large part of the stock is sold at wholesale in the large northwestern cities, St. Paul receiving the major part of the wholesale shipments. The plant is heated by steam, two boilers being used, one sixty horse- power and one 100 horse-power, annu- ally consuming about 600 tons of coal, heat being necessary about eight months of the year. The firm also has its own waterworks system, supplying water for the dwelling houses adjoining as well as for the plant. Besides the greenhouses, there are several acres of land, used in the cult- ure of flowers. Of the greenhouses, one is used exclusively for violets, four for roses, three for carnations, one for chrysanthemums and one for miscella- neous stock. An average of ten people are employed throughout the season.

They Never Forget Their Wedding Flowers From the florists' viewpoint, this is the month of weddings and school com- mencements. You cannot possibly get flowers that are too good for weddings. What you do for Bride's bouquets or Bridesmaids' bouquets, or decorations for a wedding, will be remembered for a long time by one person at least. She will be the very best kind of an advertiser for you if she' is well pleased, but she won't do you any good if she is not. She will talk about her wed- ding flowers to a great many people and you want her to speak favorably of you. You cannot make a good impres- sion with poor flowers. You even have to be careful of the fancy green you use. Speaking of green, we have the very best there is, including the finest Croweanum. You can't afford to in- trust your orders to a careless whole- saler. This month, particularly, you will need service. We have a reputa- tion for carefulness and we understand the importance of sending you what you order. That is one of many rea- sons why we continually say, we are always trying to keep you in business instead of trying to put you out of it. WRITE FOR OUR WEEKLY MARKET LETTER KYLE & FOERSTER L. D.

The largest and best horticultural ex- hibition the world has ever seen was opened in London, May 22, by King George V. It covers an area of twenty - seven acres, of which fully seven acres are under canvas, the remaining space being devoted to Alpine and rock gar- dens, hardy trees and shrubs, gardening sundries, greenhouses, boilers, etc. In addition to the competitive sections, where foreign exhibits compete with British, the horticulturists of France, Belgium and Holland each occupy 10,- 000 square feet and Japan is repre- sented by Japanese gardens. Ameri- can exhibitors include W. A. Manda, Inc., South Orange, N. J., who has had a remarkable run of successes in the competitive classes and carries away numerous trophies and medals, but as the list of awards is incomplete at the time of writing, I am unable to par- ticularize them. B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass., has also creditably staged a collection of gladioli. Orcliids. Orchids take premier position, not only in the magnificent collections of wonderful blooms, but in the fact that the King's cup for the best exhibit was awarded to Sir George Halford, whose clever gardener, J. Alescander, must in- deed be a proud and happy man at the consummation of his efforts. The group occupies 1,100 square feet. Oncidium Marshallianura, Dendrobium nobile virginale, cymbidiums, cattelyas in endless variety and Laelio-Cattleya Canhamiana are a few of the outstand- ing features of the remarkable display. Not many points behind is the collec- tion of Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath. Stuart Low & Co., Bush Hill Park; Sander & Sons, St. Albans; Man- sell & Hatcher, Eawdon, and others, figure prominently in this section and receive high awards. ' " i» Boses. The queen of flowers is represented in all sections of the cut flower and plant classes, and more* than one ex- hibitor has outdistanced all previous efforts. Frau Karl Druschki from George Mount & Sons is marvelous, and their pyramidal groups of Mrs. John Laing, Ulrich Brunner and Mrs. Shar- man-Crawford have never been equaled. Hobbies, Ltd., occupy a large space with a beautifully laid out rose garden, with a summer house and pergolas resplend- ent with Dorothy Perkins and others of that family. Paul & Son, Cheshunt, pre in the front rank with all types, and their neighbors, W. Paul & Son, Wal- tham Cross, present gorgeous Hiawatha, Tausendschon and many forms of pillar roses in the pink of condition. The Dicksons, from Belfast, and other great rosarians are also represented. Carnations. Probably the finest carnation display ever presented to the public in any land is that of C. Engelmann, of Saffron Walden. He had the quality in his blooms, without a doubt, and the ar- tistic side of the exhibit was in the capable hands of E. F. Felton, one of London's cleverest floral decorators. The flowers were arranged in baskets and vaseo of many sizes, including some of gigantic proportions and fine, bold decorative effect. A considerable area of space was devoted to the display, which was staged amid a groundwork of maidenhair ferns. The whole was a triumph for the grower and a triumph for the artist. The Worcestershire China vase was awarded to it. In the principal competitive class there was a keen contest between five or six competitors. Bertie Bell, of Guernsey, secured the blue ribbon, the young firm of Allwood Bros, coming next. In another class the Hereford- shire cup was awarded to Young & Co., Cheltenham, for a fine exhibit. Sweet Peas. Here, again, everyone who proposes to be in the line of showing sweet peas commenced months ago to prepare for the exhibition, and in the month of May such blooms as were seen have certainly never been previously shown. Dobbie & Co., Edinburgh, had a glori- ous display of plants in pots and cut blooms, many spikes carrying five flow- ers. Melba, Debbie's Cream, Inspector, Mrs. Cuthbertson and Debbie's Thomas Stevenson were glorious. C. W. Breadmore, E. W. King & Co. and G. Stark & Son also figure well on the list for awards. Bock Gardens. Eock gardens are among the most magnificent features of the exhibition General View of the Dutch Sectisn, Baskets of Lilac FrdOi Aalsmeer. 10 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Taking hold of a level, or in some instances a slop- ing piece of ground, two weeks ago, they have transformed it beyond all recognition of its former self, with rocks and pools, grottos and groves, mounds and valleys, and the plants now repos- ing thereon seem to have been growing Miscellaneous. J. Veitch & Sons, Ltd., London, are represented in their usual top form in many sections of the show. Watkins & Simpsod, London, in a special house of their own, make a brilliant display of hardy annuals. Lauchaume, of Paris, leads in artistic floral work in the French sections, and huge baskets of / "il?,***^'^' ?,^>-v^*; m!\ Group of Orchldi Considered the Finest Exliibit in the Show. in their respective positions for years.

Ware, Ltd., Feltham; Cheal & Sons, Ltd., Crawley; Kent & Brydon, Darlington; J. Back- house & Son, Ltd., York, and Artindale & Son, Sheffield. Bhododendrons. Waterer & Son, Bagshot, headed the list for rhododendrons with a bold dis- play, followed closely by Fletcher Bros., Ottersham, and Geo. Jackman & Son, Woking. In Azalea Pontica the leading prizes went to R. & G. Cuthbert, South- gate, and Geo. Jackman & Son were in the front line with clematis. lilac are a striking feature in the Dutch section. Belgium, with all her wealth of plants, has not come out strongly on this occasion. New Plants. "Novelties! Novelties! Novelties!" is all the cry of the commercial men, and while we have all been looking for- ward to the International producing something startling and have been hop- ing it would do so, we seem doomed to disappointment. In my next notes, however, I may give particulars more fully, especially if there are any worth looking up as good commercial lines. Sander & Sons, Bruges and St. Albans, won the premier position for six stove or greenhouse plants introduced by the exhibitor, with Ceratoiobus Forgetiana, Musssenda Sanderi, Alocasia Micholitzi- ana, Trevesia Sanderi, Adiantum Sie- bertianum and Eriobotrya Japonica variegata. For one plant introduced by the ex- hibitor, the silver medal goes to W. A. Manda for Polypodium Mandaianum, and a bronz:e medal for a group of twelve plants. For a climbing rose not in commerce, first, Charles Turner, Slough, with Ophe- lia, single, pure white; second, B. R. Cant & Sons, Colchester, for a variety named Sweet Pea, a small flowered poly- antha, white, tinted rose; third. Baker's, for Dorothy Jeavons, semi-double white polyantha. Seedling rose not in commerce, climb ers excluded, first, Pernet-Ducher, with Mme. Edouard Herriot, a fine Pernet- iana of a rich salmon color, recom- mended to receive the Daily Mail gold cup, as the best novelty rose in the exhibition; second, Lowe & Shawyer, Ltd., Uxbridge, with Mrs. E. Alford, after the type of La France, rich flesh pink; third, Alexander Dickson & Sons, Newtownards, with George Dickson, hy- brid tea, rich crimson. Six flowers, any rose not in commerce, B. R. Cant & Son, Colchester, first, with Sallie, hybrid tea, creamy white, tinted yellow; second, Alexander Dickson & Sons, with Mrs. Gordon Sloane, hybrid tea, white, suffused rose; third, Frank Cant & Co., with Mrs. E.

Awards of merit were made to Calceo- laria Veitchii, from Veitch & Co., Exeter; sweet peas, Mclba, Brunette and Mrs. Cuthbertson, from Dobbie & Co., Edin- burgh; Lastrea patens, var.

Information which I have just re- ceived seems to point to his having fallen heavily while alighting from an automobile. He was accompanied by E. G. Hill at the time of the accident. Bee. CUTWOBMS ON ASTEBS. A small worm is eating off our aster plants just below the ground. It is about one-half to three-fourths of an inch long, yellowish in. color and wiry. Can you tell us how to get rid of them? L. F. C. Probably it is either the common cut- worm or one of his nearly allied rela- tives which is making free among your asters. If you have only a few plants you could pick the worms out from just below the surface, near the stems of the plants, where they bury themselves in the daytime. This plan is too slow where large quantities of plants are grown, and in these cases poisoning is the best remedy. Take some fresh shorts, sweeten with molasses, moisten a little and scatter sufficient Paris green with it to color it. Mix it thoroughly, and toward evening go through your rows and scatter it in small pieces among the plants. You will find numer- ous corpses next morning. Fresh grass or lettuce leaves dipped in Paris green solution is also an effective poison. C.W. LILIES FOB EASTEB. What variety of lily would you ad- vise me to grow for Easter next year! I wish to grow them in a temperature of 55 degrees. I have ordered some, but, on account of Easter coming so early, I am uncertain what to do. When would you advise potting them? I am located in northeastern Kansas. J. H. The lily which is mostly grown for Easter flowering is L. longiflorum giganteum. It is a dwarf, stpcky grower, but would not be in flower for next Easter, coming, as it does, in March, unless you could give it 10 degrees more heat than you propose to grow your lilies in. L. Formosa has jumped into favor during the last few years. It flowers much earlier than giganteum, but it is too tall growing except for cutting. The plants vary from two to six feet in height and carry anywhere from one to a dozen flowers. For cut- ting it has much to recommend it, but it is hard to get a batch in flower at one time. L. longiflorum multiflorum grows taller than giganteum, but can be flowered earlier and would be a good variety for you to grow. The flowers are not so large as those of L. longi- florum. Lilium Harrisii is the hand- somest of all the Easter lilies, and if you can procure bulbs which can be guaranteed clean, you would do well to try some of them. Bulbs of this latter lily arrive early and you should pot yours in September. The Formosas should be kept in a cool, dry place two or three weeks after arrival. This ad- ditional rest will, it is claimed, make them dwarfer in habit and cause them to flower more uniformly. The mui-ti- florums should be potted on arrival in October. It is best to pot the bulbs of whatever you are to grow in good sea- son, especially since you have not a strong forcing temperature for them. C. W. -I- I =».-.-.

The Retailers' Independence in Sight. Already most of the retail florists are independent of nature in the matter of refrigeration, for in the larger cities a considerable part of the ice now used is artificial, and it will surely come to pass that the retailer will in the end, and probably at no distant day, be- come independent of the ice nian as well as of nature. The development of artificial refrigeration will do away with ice. Instead of using water fro- zen at a factory, the florist will have his ice machine in the basement and manufacture his own cold, attaining more than independence of the ice man, for the saving in money will be only one of the advantages of the system. Of even greater importance to the stores of the better class will be the freedom from annoyances that accom- pany the daily replenishment of the ice chamber. This alone will be enough to insure the adoption of artificial re- frigeration by retailers the moment the manufacturers of the apparatus are ready to take care of the demand. Some alreaidy are ready. Ice-malcing Not New. The manufacture of ice is not new. For a considerable number of years mechanical means have existed for the lowering of temperatures. There have been so many opportunities for the uti- lization of the process on a large scale that the manufacturers of the appa- ratus have devoted their attention to the big work, and the application of the process to smaller needs has been slower in coming than one might have ex- pected. While the means existed, the manufacturers were too busy to do the pushing that is necessary with even an article of general demand to bring it to the attention of those who only need to know to become users. Now, however, the field of larger application of me- chanical refrigeration has become pretty well covered and the more far-sighted of the manufacturers are turning to the development of the smaller machines, seeing in their perfection and general adoption a field for business far broader than anything the industry ever has known. Betailers' Refrigeration. Quite a few florists have not been content to await the action cf the ma- kers of ice machines and have gone out to find a suitable equipment. In some of the larger establishments refrigerat- ing apparatus of considerable capacity has been installed, and more than a few retail stores located in hotels and other large buildings have obtained their sup- ply of cold from the general refrigerat- ing plant operated in the building. But it is not in these systems, efficient though they are, that the principal in- terest lies; what thousands of retail florists want most to know about is the method by which an average display case can be cooled by artificial means at an expense not greater than the cost of ice. Possibly the first retail florist to put in an ice-making apparatus exclusively for the purpose of cooling the flower case in the store was the flrm of Pen- nock Bros., 1514 Chestnut street, Phila- delphia. It was in 1907 that they in- stalled the machine in use today. The refrigerating machine and the motor that drives it stand in the basement, directly below the display case for flowers in the store. Not a pound of ice has come into the store in five years. The Pennock machine was made by the Brunswick Refrigerating Co., New Brunswick, N. J. In response to a re- quest for a description of the apparatus and details as to its operation, they supply the following, by E. L. Lloyd: The Work to Be Done. When the proprietors of one of the best of Philadelphia's flower shops de- cided to adopt mechanical refrigeration they had a handsome display case along the east wall of their establishment, six- teen and one-half feet long, nine feet high and forty-two inches wide, embrac- ing about 500 cubic feet. It consiated of a show case with three shelves, draw- ers below and an ice bunker above. Formerly the four sliding doors had double panes of glass, but the view of the flowers was interfered with, and so this was changed to a single thickness of beveled plate glass. As the pro- prietors remarked, they were "willing to sacrifice economy for appearance." The shelves held vases of cut flowers in water, and were usually kept full at all times, forty vases holding probably 200 or 300 pounds of water as an average quantity, and this was renewed daily. Four sixteen candlepower electric lamp» were kept burning in the case above and in front, so as to properly illumi- nate the flowers, but not seen by the observer. The drawers below contained the smilax and other greens and were well filled. Openings in the floor of the main case permitted the coldest air to circulate down to and around this stock. Both doors and drawers were opened frequently, averaging probably four times per hour each. Under these conditions it was found necessary to use 500 to 700 pounds of ice each day to maintain a temperature of 44 or 45 degrees. The annoyance and inconvenience of handling were great. The ice bill for one year was $501. It was contended that the cost of electric energy to operate a refrigerat- ing machine to produce equal results should not be much over half this amount. A contract was made for a Brunswick refrigerating machine of one ton capac- ity, which was guaranteed to produce the deaired results. Cost of Installation. The cost for the complete installation in operating condition was a little above $1,000. The installation was com- pleted and the machine operating the last week in May, 1907. In the ice bunker above the cases four narrow brine tanks, fourteen feet "Witt Enclosed Refrigerating Plant of Pennock Bros., Philadelphia, Penn. June 6, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 13 Show Case of Pennock Bros^ Pliiladelplifa, G)o!c(I by Artificial Be&igcration. nine inches long, eighteen inches high and four inches wide, were placed, and the ammonia expansion pipes led into them. Each tank was cooled by 100 feet of 1-inch pipe, bent zigzag and arranged in seven rows each fourteen feet long. One barrel, or 350 pounds, of calcium chloride salt was dissolved in enough water to fill these four tanks, making a Weak solution, Sp. gr. 1.05, with a freez- ing point just below 26 degrees Fahr. The idea was to freeze this solid and have a result similar to that obtained with ice. How It Works. It works out admirably in practice. At 8 a. m., when the store is opened, the machine is started in operation. The temperature in the cases at this time is found to be just about as it Was left the night before, around 45 degrees. The water in the vases is then renewed and fresh flowers put in. The doors are opened constantly for quite a while, and the temperature rises in the . full sunshine, although the majority of hardy lilies are benefited by a little shade. A mulch of partially decayed leaves or manure will help to hold mois- ture at the roots and at the same time keep the roots cooler. Some water in a dry season is beneficial. Spray with Bordeaux mixture to prevent the blight which often attacks hardy lilies. Use it once a week. The auratums carry large and heavy flowers, and, in order to hold the stems erect and keep the blooms clean, staking will be necessary. These lilies succeed best where the bulbs have been planted nine to twelve inches deep, as then the roots are not exposed to the drying conditions which usually exist near the surface in summer. C. W. ac ac ac ac II SEASONABLE JS^ f ^ ^ SUGGESTIONS j '■ ■■ ■"^' — " ^ m Cinerarias. Where cinerarias are wanted for Christmas flowering, the seed should be sown in the first part of June. If sown thus early in the summer, a good germination is assured. A month later, when we may naturally look for out- side temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees in the shade, seed will germinate poorly and many seedlings will damp off un-' less handled most carefully. Sow the seed in pans of light compost, water carefully, cover with a sheet of glass and lay paper over this. A coldframe will be found better for germinating cinerarias than a greenhouse, and far superior in every way for their culture until late fall. Hardy Boses. The rose slug is due at this season and, unless preventive measures are adopted, will soon do a lot of damage. White hellebore, dusted on the bushes while the foliage is damp, or used in Water as a spray, is the best remedy. A tablespoonful to a 12-quart can will Suffice. Green fly seems to breed spon- taneously on many roses and it must be gotten rid of at all hazards. Where force of water is at command, it is the best remedy. Failing this, spray the bushes with nicotine, whale oil soap, kerosene emulsion or some other of the standard sprays for aphis. Be careful not to use any of these sprays too strong, as the rose foliage is now tender and will be easily scorched. Disbud the hybrid perpetuals while the buds are yet small, and to stimulate the plants at this time a top-dressing of dried blood or fine bone should be ap- plied, hoeing over the ground after spreading it. Look sharply for any Manetti or brier stocks coming upon grafted plants and carefully remove them, as they will speedily sap the vitality from the roses. Dutch Bulbs. Most Dutch bulbs will now be over for the season, and, where special beds are planted with them, they must be removed so that geraniums or other bedding plants may take their places. Hyacinths are of little value a second year. They may be planted along a mixed flower border, as may the early bedding tulips, but the latter will be much poorer the second than the first year. On the other hand, the Darwin and late cottage tulips, if carefully lifted, heeled in where they can mature their growths and later lifted and dried, will do well a second season. In fact, if they can be left un- disturbed they are usually better the second and third seasons than the first. Customers who expect bulbs to give as good an account of themselves the sec- ond as the first season should be told that it is unreasonable to expect any- thing of the sort, and with the present moderate price of bulbs there is surely little need of carrying over the old ones. Freeslas. Freesia plants carried over will now have lost their foliage and the bulbs can be shaken out and sorted at any time. Keep the little bulblets separate. It is too early to start them yet, but in July or August they can be sown with moderate thickness in flats, and if given a shelf in a carnation house will produce quantities of good flower- ing-sized bulbs for another year. Stevlas. Do not forget those useful little plants, the stevias, in the rush of other duties. The young stock should go out in the field at once. If you have not as many plants as you would like, put in a good batch of cuttings. They will soon root. Then pot them off and, in- stead of planting them out, grow them along in pots, plunging them to their brims in coal ashes. Keep the plants pinched back. A large stock of stevia will be found profitable to every coun- try florist. Callas. After Memorial day callas are little wanted, and, as the plants will be show- ing a disposition to go to rest, they can be taken outdoors and the pots laid on their sides, in which position they can 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* June 6, 1912. remain vntil the latter part of July, when they will again be showing signs of activity. Plants growing in bencl^es can be gradually dried off before being lifted. Don't overlook the Godfrey calla, the greatest acquisition in its line for many years. It is becoming better known each year, and everyone who has once grown it wants more of it the following year. Don't confound it with the old Little Gem of twenty years ago. The Godfrey is vastly su- perior in every way and produces three flowers to one of the ordinary calla. To any who have not yet grown it, our advice would be to secure stock with- out delay. Achimenes. Those useful summer flowering plants, the achimenes, come in season when the number of good pot plants is decidedly few. If you started them in flats they will need separating now, before they are too much grown. A dozen in a 6-inch pan or twenty to an 8-inch pan will be suflicient. Use a light but moderately rich compost, con- taining plenty of sand, and grow them where they are moderately warm and protected from the sun's rays, which latter would soon scorch and disfigure the foliage. Before the shoots run up too much, tie them up to short, thin, green stakes. Use a little stake to each shoot and do not run a string around the whole pan, as we often see done, and expect that this will properly support them. Achimenes, well grown, are beautiful subjects which will charm anyone. They are splendid in wire baskets if they can be given a suitable location near the roof, with requisite shade. Hardwooded FlantC'. You have, no doubt, quite a few hardwooded plants which remain un- sold, and it is too bad to throw any of these away. Plant them out on a piece of ground which has had a coating of well decayed manure, and which, if at all heavy, will have been benefited by a good dressing of leaf-mold or a coat- ing of sharp sand. Such plants as ericas, camellias, Azalea Indica, rho- dodendrons, etc., will be less trouble if planted out and will make a far better growth than in pots. Be sure they are planted firmly and always locate them where they are within easy reach with a hose, as overhead syringings on hot days are a great help to them. Pick all flowers and seeds from azaleas on planting them out, and judiciously cut back ericas. In the case of acacias and genistas the plants may need trimming into shape, especially the latter, and as they do not lift as well as azaleas and ericas, it is best to plunge them in the pots well over head. They will root out above and below the pots and will need a shift at lifting time in the fall. A MAMMOTH AUBATUM. The Review has printed many pic- tures of abnormal lilies, but never a more unusual specimen than the one here shown, reproduced from a photo- graph supplied by John Hamilton, who does a general florists' business at Ta- coma, Wash. The plant, which is Lilium auratum, was photographed Oc- tober 5, 1911, beside the residence of Mr. Hamilton 's neighbor. Rev. L. W. Terry, who stands in the picture. The Rev. Mr. Terry is himself of man's full stature, but the lily goes far above his head, reaching a height of nine feet two inches and carrying at one time the exceptional number of 212 flowers. THE HABDT PEBENNIAL GABDEN. Its Beauty in Early June. At no season of the year is the per- ennial garden more delightful and at- tractive than in early June. The Dutch bulbous flowers, arabis, aubrietias and some few other early plants, mostly dwarf in habit, have passed or are on the wane, but in their place is a verit- able wealth of flowers which are this season of exceptional quality, thanks to the absence of excessive heat and the abundant rainfalls vouchsafed to us during the first five months of the year. All growth is now soft and fresh and A Monster Auratum Lily. there is not any of the coarseness char- acteristic of some of the flowers which come later in the summer. The Aquilegias or ColumbineB. Very beautiful and satisfactory are the aquilegias or columbines. The sev- eral long spurred varieties are among the most charming of all perennials, fine alike in clumps, masses or for cut- ting. The value of these columbines for cut flower purposes is not half ap- preciated. Nothing could be more ex- quisite for table decorations, and vases either of one color or a mixture are in equally good taste, which cannot be said of all mixtures. A. chrysantha, yellow, is the best grower of the long spurred section. A. coerulea, the blue and white Rocky mountain columbine, is a gem. A. Haylodgensis and the California hybrids each give a beauti- ful range of colors. The old types df columbine, with short spurs, both sin gle and double, are not to be despised. They last well in the borders and are excellent subjects for naturalizing pur- poses. For the wild garden, particu larly where the soil is poor, the native A. Canadensis, with red and yellow flow- ers, is effective. Now is a good time to sow aquilegia seeds. Use a coldframe and transplant, when of sufficient size to handle, to the open fleld, or, if preferred, prick off into another frame and let them stay there until the following spring. Aquile- gias, especially the long spurred kinds, are not as rapid growing as some other perennials. Hardy Lupines. The hardy lupine^ in the hardy bord^ with their array pink colored apikj blue and white. ire most effective . and look stately fblue, white and L. polyphyllus, old, well-known sorts. The various forms of pink, such as Moerheimi, roseus and Pink Beauty, are comparatively new, varying in color from rose to soft pink. As they pos- sess fully as much vigor as the older forms and come true from seed, they should be in every collection. All are well adapted for cutting. Lupines are quickly propagated from seeds. Those sown early will bloom the first season, and there is ample time to secure strontj plants for fall sales by sowing at once. German Irises. The German irises are indispens.ible in every herbaceous garden. Their va riety is now legion and rather confus- ing. A boiled down list of really fine kinds should include Florentina alba, pure white; pallida Dalmatica, lavender blue, the finest sort of all; Glory of Hillegom, clear porcelain blue, grows about the same height as pallida Dal- matica; Gracchus, yellow standards, crimson falls; Queen of May, lavender pink; Due de Nemours, fine white; Mrs. H. Darwin, white standards, violet falls, and Mme. Chereau, white, frilled blue. German irises should be planted early in the fall for best results. August is a good month, and the work should not be delayed iater than September. Dictamnus. Dictamnus Fraxinella, pink, and D. Fraxinella alba, white, are quite satis factory June flowering perennials. One good point about them is that the foli- age remains dark green until late in the fall. Their seeds germinate rather slowly and it takes several years to secure a sizable clump from seed. They are also somewhat impatient of re moval and should be planted where it will not be necessary to take them up for several years. They make large, thick roots, and, when digging, every care should be taken not to break these We should surely include Dictamnus Fraxinella, or gas plant, as it is com- monly called, among the twelve best hardy perennials. Yellow Flowers. Yellow flowers in the hardy garden are less conspicuous now than toward fall, when the helianthus, heleniums, rudteckias and other compositae rather overwhelm other colors unless planted JUNB 0, 1912.

Trol- lius Japonicus excelsior, with rich orange flowers, charms everyone who sees it; nothing could be finer for cut- ting, and the plant is of easy culture. CO-OPERATIVE ADVERTISING. N"ow that trade jealousies have been banished to the limbo of those things which have no place in modern business, it is becoming the accepted practice for the men engaged in a given line to band together for the exploitation of their specialty. It is being done with great success by the southern manufacturers of cypress; to combat this, the northern manufacturers of pine lumber have joined hands in a similar campaign. The laundrymen have got together to educate the housewives to abjure the family washtub; the brewers are preach- ing the food value of their beverage, and in many other lines cooperative ad- vertising is being done. The florists of Detroit tried it for Mothers' day. The result was so far beyond anticipations, and so excellent in comparison with its cost to indi- viduals, that when Memorial day came on the program the experiment was re- peated. The accompanying illustration shows an advertisement published in the De- troit newspapers just prior to May 30, the same copy being used for a display card to hang in every florist's window. Detroit has been a dull town so far as Memorial day flower business has been concerned. May 30 has meant little to florists there. But this year it was different. The advertising given flowers was of benefit to everyone in the trade; the aggregate business was so far ahead of any previous year that al- ready plans are being made for more elaborate exploitation next season; the business responded so quickly that now the Detroit florists are wondering why they did not push Memorial day before. The cooperative advertisement men- tioned no names; it was left to each one to get what share of the trade he could. ANTIRRHINUMS. It is truly remarkable how antirrhi- nums have jumped into favor as a pay- "•" greenhouse proposition of late years. They bloom over such a long season and are of such comparatively ^asy culture that the wonder is that every florist having any retail trade does not grow at least a bench of them. I^hey can be had to flower the entire year, but they sell best from Christmas until Memorial day, although a fair nuiiiber can be sold even at Thanks- fJiving. The spikes do not, however, ■■e.'iph their maximum quality until *'t»'r January 1. Anyone who can ff'ow carnations, violets or mums, can '■'s easily grow snapdragons. While Nswipiper Aivertitsment aad Display Cird Used hy Detroit Fioristt. they succeed well in a carnation tem- perature, they are stronger if kept a trifle cooler. We like 48 degrees at night for them in winter. For anyone who has not yet tried growing them, the present is a good time to start. There are quite a num- ber of special strains and some named varieties advertised. These are all originally secured from seed and are good selections in color. Anyone buy- ing seed in separate colors from a first- class house will probably have one or more plants which in color and general habit are just what are needed, and which are just as good as any purchas- able with fancy names attached. Care- fully guard these extra good sorts and propagate freely from them. If you want a bench of one fine color, they must be from cuttings and not from seed. The latter method of propaga- tion gives rather more vigorous plants, but they are never so true to color. Seed sown now, or cuttings taken now, will produce plants which will bloom during the present summer in the field, and desirable plants can be marked, flowers can be pinched out and the plants encouraged to make cuttings. If you want a really early crop of snaps, as they are commonly called, propagate in July for Thanksgiving flowering, and the following month for Christmas sales. Of course it must be borne in mind that snapdragons will flower a long thne, as when the flower spikes are cut the plants break away again at once. Snapdragons are not sufficiently ap- preciated as flowering plants outdoors, if set out in May or early June, they will flower practically all summer, par- ticularly if they can be given an occa- sional watering. Near the seashore they attain their greatest perfection, the spikes produced there being equal to the finest indoor grown. As to col- ors, don't make the mistake of grow- ing mixtures. No one wants them. Grow separate colors only and you will find that a good, clear, warm pink is the greatest seller. Next in favor come white, yellow and scarlet shades. RockTille, Ind.— H. B. Brubeck says the Memorial day trade was excellent, there being an abundance of good stock, which brought good prices. South Bend, Ind.— The progress of the suit for $38,000, brought by the Beyer Floral Co. against the South Bend Mfg. Co., was again delayed re- cently by the action of the judge, who postponed the argument on demurrer. The case is now several years old. The Beyer company states that when the St. Joseph river dam was raised it over- flowed 241 acres of land which the firm was using for horticultural purposes. 18 The Weekly Florists' Review. JUNB 6, 1912. THE EVERYDAY WORK. Overcrowded Benches. The biggest problem confronting the grower at this end of the season is to find room for all his young stock with- out crowding it. As long as the flowers are selling for school commencements and June weddings, he does not care to throw out all that are scheduled to go, especially if the plants are growing and flowering freely. In favored locali- ties it is possible to get some of the young plants outside in frames, but this is not safe everywhere and the most has to be made of every inch of bench space. Some of the dangers of overcrowding may be eliminated by a frequent change of position of the plants, and by the removal of weak, useless shoots and some of the older, lower leaves. Inci- dentally, these lower leaves frequently have red spider, thrips or other insects upon them, so their loss to the plants is not a great one, while their removal allows air and light to circulate more freely. Care of the Young Stock. For summer propagating the cuttings do not need so long a time in the sand and they should be watched closely and potted before the roots make too much progress. The growth on the newly potted stock is quite free now and the roots take up great quantities of water. See that they are not neglected, or the young plants will become stunted and hard. The slapdash grower, who rushes through with his hose regardless of the condition of the plants, will never get a nice, even lot, for the plants near the edges of the bench will be dry and those in the center too wet. Pay par- ticular attention to the sides, and the center will nearly always have enough. Continue to keep an eye around for mildew and never neglect sulphuring at once if it appears. If mildew once gets a firm hold on young stock, standing closely, it is extremely difficult to eradicate. Eaiserin and Camot. Plants of Kaiserin and Carnot, re- cently started up, are making a fine growth and a little feeding is in order. There is nothing better than fresh cow manure, laid on thinly and watered in at once. Too heavy a mulch is likely to injure the feeding rootlets by keep- ing out light and air, but if used in moderation, and followed as soon as the surface dries by shallow yet thor- ough cultivation, there is no risk. A little air should be left on all night to permit the escape of free ammonia rising from the manure, as this may injure the foliage. It is a waste of manure to spread it on old stock that has to be thrown out this season, but keep the water going to the end. The Beauties. The Beauty canes will be setting buds freely now and, to prevent a glut of flowers all at once, some of the shoots may be pinched and the others taken straight on. Only the tip of the shoot should be taken and this makes a couple of weeks of difference in the date of cutting. Where the benches can be spared, the planting should be pushed as rapidly as possible. Early or timely planting does not of necessity mean early cutting. Instead of taking the flowers with long stems early in the fall, pinch them out and let the plants grow, retaining the beneflts of the new foliage as root pro- ducers. Moderation in Watering. When young Beauties are planted, they need a great deal of atmospheric moisture for a time, until established, but after this they are frequently sprayed too much and too often. Con- stant spraying under pressure removes the bloom from the foliage, and tht' bloom is a natural protection against fungus and insect pests. A constantly moist condition, too, during the grow ing or summer season, leaves the plant^: in a soft, sappy condition for the win ter, leading to long, flowerless growth, instead of vigorous, well consolidated stems, that flower freely. Do not, by any means, keep them short of water, either at the roots or in the air, but let sun and air have full play around the plants and let the foliage be dry for several hours daily. Free growth is essential to success, but not the kind of growth that is made at the expense of sound, well consolidated stems and foliage. LADY HILLINGDON FOR FORCING. I sent for Lady Hillingdon roses to force in the greenhouse and received, instead, outdoor 2-year-old roses. I potted them off and they have thrown some roots. The flursery company says they will come out all right. Do you think they will be all right to force next winter? Any information you can give on this subject will be thankfully received. T. J, D. Outdoor-grown 2-year-old Hillingdon roses are not to be recommended for forcing and will not give you the same results as young plants which were rooted last winter and which are, or should be, in S^^-inch pots. These lat- ter are what you want and you can get them from many of the rose spe- cialists who advertise in The Review. The nurseries do not, as a rule, carry anything but dormant field-grown roses, and, while they answer well for potting up for spring blooming, they are not what you want for winter forcing. C. W. Grand Rapids, Mich. — Henry Smith, the Monroe street florist, will build a brick garage opposite the county build- ing, on North Ottawa street. OUTDOOR SWEET PEAS. Not for many years have climatic conditions been so favorable for sweet peas in the open. The frequent show- ers and absence of torrid heat have been greatly to their liking, and the plants have made a most satisfactory growth. In order to secure first-class flowers it is necessary to do some thin- ning out where seedlings have germi- nated rather thickly. Let the little plants stand as much as four inches apart and you will get stronger, hardier, finer flower stems, and be far less trou- bled with stem-rot than when they are left overcrowded. Keep the cultivator constantly going between the rows and, as the weeds grow apace in the rows themselves, it is necessary to look them over, remove weeds and scratch the soil among them if it shows any tend- ency to bake. Of course, supports should be given at once, if they arc not already in place. While we con- tinue to have comparatively cool and moist weather and the plants are grow- ing so luxuriantly, there is no immedi- ate need of mulching, but just as soon as the weather conditions change and the plants have a good start, it will pay to give a good mulch between the rows, using grass, old manure, straw or old meadow hay. This will keep the weeds down and, at the same time, keep the plants cool and moist at the roots. JONB 6, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 19 OBITUABT. Albert I. Bradstreet. Albert I. Bradstreet, a florist who had resided for twenty-five years on a farm near Dayton, O., died suddenly of heart trouble early on Sunday morning, May 26, at the age of 68 years. He was born in Warren county, where he spent many years. During his entire residence in Montgomery county he had lived on rural route No. 7, on the Lamb road, just off the Cincinnati pike, about four miles from Dayton. Besides his wife, he is survived by two daughters. Mis. Ava McCassy, who lives in the same neighborhood, and Miss Nellie Bradstreet, who resides at home. E. W. Bradstreet, of Xenia, is a brother, and Mrs. E. E. Dearth, of Detroit, is a sister. Numerous distant relatives live in Dayton. D. E. Stevens. Daniel E. Stevens, of the Stevens Floral Co., Port Huron, Mich., died May 24 in his home, at the corner of Sixth and Pine streets, in that city, at the age of 70 years. He had been in feeble health for over a year, but his final illness had continued for only about two weeks. He was born January 19, 1842, in East Durham, N. Y. He removed to Port Huron from Canada thirty-four years ago. For fifteen years he had charge of the art department in the store of Barrett & Goulding. Leav- ing that business, he embarked as a florist and in this business he was en- gaged for fourteen years. During his first few years in the florists' trade he was located on Water street, later mov- ing to the corner of Sixth and Pine streets. He had resided in the same house for twelve years. He was a member of the Modern Maccabees and the Woodmen of the World, He leaves a widow, one daugh- ter, Mrs. Charles E. Kean, of this city, and one son, Mart Stevens, of Seattle, Wash. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, May 26, from the family home. Burial took place in Lakeside cemetery. H. Glenn Fleming. H. Glenn Fleming, for many years one of the leading florists of Fairmont, W. Va., died May 22. About two weeks previously he had gone with Mrs. Flem- ing to Asheville, N. C, in the hope that the change of climate might benefit his health. His friends, however, who saw him depart, could plainly perceive that the end was near. He was still a young man and was the only child of his parents, both of whom survive him. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, ^ay 26, from the Methodist Protestant Temple, of which church he was an hon- ored member. There was a profusion of floral tributes. The entire chancel, before which the casket lay, was em- banked with flowers, tributes being sent oy friends and relatives far and near. The burial was at Woodlawn cemetery. The business for a long time has been joly conducted by his faithful foreman, ^r. White. Ernest Kitzinger. Ill the death of Ernest Kitzinger, J^hi'-h occurred at 12:30 a. m. June 3, l^huago lost a retail florist who had oeen in business continuously for nearly ^ quarter of a century. Mr. Kitzinger ^'} been ill for a long time, with 'leht's disease. He was born in Ham- burg, Germany, October 25, 1864. Emi- grating to America when in young manhood, he made his way directly to Chicago and almost at once started in the florists' business, on Milwaukee avenue, later removing to 2852 West FuUerton avenue. He is survived by Mrs. Kitzinger and one son, 15 years of age. The funeral was held from the late residence Wednesday morning, June 5, and was largely attended, for Mr. Kitzinger had an extensive ac- quaintance in his section of the city. Thomas F. Eeenan. In the sudden death of Thomas F. Keenan, which occurred at 6112 Went- worth avenue. May 31, there passed away one of the oldest florists in Chi- cago. For many years Mr. Keenan had run a retail store at this address, with, for some years, a branch store at 1306 East Sixty-third street, conducted by his son> Arthur F. Keenan. The cause of deaih was heart disease. Mr. Keenan had been around the same as usual, even on the morning of his death. A short time ago he had closed his store on Wentworth avenue and had recently been employed by the W. W. Barnard Co. Thomas F. Keenan was born in Penn- sylvania, May 30, 1856, and celebrated his flfty-sixth birthday anniversary on Memorial day, the day before he died. He removed to Chicago when a young man and had spent practically his en- tire lifetime in the business on the south side. A widow and two sons survive. Arthur F. Keenan plans to continue the Sixty-third street store. Burial was at Mount Greenwood cemetery June 2. Elijah A. Wood. Elijah A. Wood, of the well-known Boston family of florists by that name, died at 706 Buckingham place, Chicago, June 1, after a brief illness of spinal meningitis in its epidemic form. The body was taken, June 2, to the old fam- ily home at Newton, Mass., for burial. Mr. Wood was born in the Bay State April 22, 1859. After many years in the trade there, he removed to Chicago a couple of years ago to take employ- ment in the office of a trade paper. He was of a likable disposition and made friends wherever he was known. A widow survives. Miss Jennie Lautenschlager. The mjlny friends of Fred Lauten- schlager, of Chicago, will sympathize with him in the sudden death of his sister, Miss Jennie Lautenschlager, which occurred at the family home, 3707 North Kacine avenue. May 27, of heart disease. Miss Lautenschlager was born in Germany,' October 22, 1877. For a time the family home was at Cin- cinnati and the burial took place there May 29, in Spring Grove cemetery. Miss Lautenschlager is survived by her mother, Mrs. Louise Lautenschlager, and her brother, Fred. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS. One of the valuable labor saving de- vices designed especially for use in con- nection with mechanical water supply systems is a series of valves which en- ables liquid fertilizers to be taken into irrigation systems and distributed with the water. In a recent catalogue of the Standard Pump & Engine Co., Cleveland, the method is described as follows: "This is accomplished by means of a special regulating inlet valve which can be adjusted to take in a definite quantity of fertilizer with the given amount of water. In the deep well pumping engines a special pump is mounted on the base of the machine itself for pumping the fertilizer into the discharge pipe line against the pressure. A person experienced with work of this nature will readily appre- ciate the great saving of time by dis- tributing fertilizer in this way, as well as the absolute safety in securing a proper distribution of the fertilizer to all parts of the system." PITTSBUKOH. The Market. The month of May closed in a satis- factory manner for everybody in the business. Cut flower people had about all they could expect for the week clos- ing with Decoration day. There were flowers enough to satisfy all demands and the prices were not high, but all were satisfled. Plantsmen were never harder driven, as summer seemed to have settled down at once. Everyone wanted his work done at once and could not wait an- other day for window and porch boxes. Some, however, are waiting yet. Bed- ding plants of all kinds are selling well and many of the plantsmen are pretty well sold up. The annual cry of a shortage of good geraniums is again heard, but the wholesale price hardly justifies growing many more, especially if one has any other use for the space they take. Almost any old thing will pay better. Various Notes. Mr. McClements, of Eandolph & Mc- Clements, says they are simply rushed to the limit with planting and window and porch boxes. The A. W. Smith Co. reports having all the outside work that the large force can take care of, and the office force are busy trying to hold the late comers off until they can reach them. . The John Bader Co. reports an excep- tionally good season, with everything moving as fast as it can be hauled off the place. Mrs. E. A. Williams had a beautiful window display on the occasion of the Knights Templar parade, May 28. A grand stand was erected in the large window, which was occupied by forty- five ladies. This was surrounded by ferns, making a most beautiful picture and giving Mrs. Williams an oppor- tunity to entertain her friends. Though it was an exceedingly busy day, Mr. Clarke, of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., could not resist the tempta- tion to get on his uniform and march with the Knights Templar. After considerable talk, the baseball clubs of the wholesale houses got to- gether June 3, with the following re- sults: Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., nine- teen hits, twenty runs; McCallum Co., eight hits, five runs. The clubs were made up as follows: McCallum Co. Spltzner, c. H. Nigel, 2b. E. E. Nigel, lb. Welnhelmer, ss. H. McCallum, rf. A. Letscns, cf. .Tack Martin, 3b. Geo. McCallum, If. Sicily, p. Pgh. C.

One section of this issue carries advertising of refrigerating apparatus, and another has half a dozen advertisements of coal — one advertiser is prepared to keep us cool, the others to keep us warm. Don't store your magnolia leaves in- definitely in a damp place and expect them not to mold. At this season there is little need of a warning not to store them against a bank of steam pipes and expect that they will not dry and curl. The reason that so many florists write on plain paper is that a large number are starting, or did start, on small capi- tal, the need to make every dollar count causing them to overlook the fact that n first necessity for a business man is busi- ness-like stationery. There has been a tremendous business in bedding out, in filling porch and win- dow boxes and hanging baskets, and it is by no means over yet. The seasc^n is so late in many localities that the first week of June finds the work no more than well started. Year by year the character of the men in the trade, and of the employees, ad- vances to a higher average. Education is not a handicap to a florist, and the older men are seeing to it that their sons and the principal employees have the ad- vantages of thorough schooling. The hail storms came a little lat« this year, like spring and many other things, but in the last fortnight a great many small losses have occurred. Those not members of the Florists' Hail Associa- tion can get under cover by writing John G. Esler, secretary. Saddle River, N. J., It is a mutual organization, run prac- tically without expense. . Again this year the Memorial day business showed a good gain over pre- ceding years. It has been essentially a day for the florists in the country towns and the smaller cities — the big city retailers have not pushed it — ^but even in the largest cities where the least has been done to create popular interest in the day the increased demand was perceptible, and where a little effort was made by the florists it was well repaid. The weather is a large factor at Me- morial day, perhaps a larger factor than at any other holiday where flowers are used, but the chance of bad weather is about all the chance there is in working for a big business for May 30 next year. WHEN IT PAYS. When a paper is subscribed for be- cause it is wanted to read and not sub- scribed for in order to secure a premium or an opportunity to buy merchandise of the publisher at a cut price, then that publication is sure to be a first-class ad- vertising medium. People read when they buy for the paper itself. That it pays to advertise in such a publication is proven over and over again: We shall have to ask yon to discontinue our advertisement of vincas and ferns, as We cannot keep up with orders. We have shipped to all parts of the country. The Review for ours, to dispose of surplus stock. — Wirth & Gaupp, Springfield, 111., May 28, 1912.

McNew, Owensboro, Ky., June 1, 1912. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Allowing the usual discount for dam- age inflicted by the hot weather, which held up until the evening of May 27, when a sudden return to cooler weather took place, it was a great Memorial day and fully as big as could have been expected under the existing conditions. It was the case of the weather setting the mark, as it usually does, and while it was by no means as bad as last year, when the temperature held around 94 degrees, there was still room for im- provement, but now that it is over with the local wholesalers and growers are well satisfied. Nearly everyone reports all the business that could be handled even if stock had been in better condi- tion. In some cases it was impossible to fill orders for carnations, owing to the shortage of good stock. The hot sun had worked its worst on carnations, which, when cut, had to be moved at once to get any price worth while. As to the soft ones, the fact that they were soft precluded any long distance ship- ments and these had to be disposed of to the local trade at any price the buyer was willing to pay. Peonies, of course, were in great demand, but the supply of even the better stock was so large that any and all orders were filled with- out delay. The storage stock for the most part stood the test well and, while some failed to hold up and had to be dumped, the good ones were to be had in large quantities. The really good peonies cleaned up well, but there were thousands of dozens of poor stock that failed to find a sale. May 27 saw the start of the Memo- rial day rush, and from then until May 29 it was a race with time and a fight to get t^e best stock for shipping trade. The first of the long distance shipments went out Monday and by Tuesday everyone was working to the full limit. Additional rush orders helped to ttiake things more complicated, and it was only with the hardest kind of work that some orders were filled in time to catch the right trains. Express wagons by the dozen lined up along the shipping platforms and as fast as one loaded more were waiting to ^et into line, ana with the boxes piled high it was a task to sort them and get away. The ship- ping rooms were scenes of orderly con- fusion and the rapidity with which JPNE 6, 1912.

Tuesday saw great quantities of stock on hand and all available space was used to store the later arrivals. Boses were in big supply, while peonies were hauled in great quantities from the stor- age houses where they had been held in reserve from one day to two weeks. Carnations, while not so plentiful as either roses or peonies, were being brought in by the thousands. The heat left most of them in a deplorable con- dition for shipping, and many anxious minutes were spent trying to figure out the situation. "Wholesalers were some- what backward about shipping too freely of the carnations and held off to the last minute, hoping better stock would put in an appearance and relieve the strain. No color was favored especially. Any good stock was taken. "With roses, while large quantities were moved, there was not the same demand as for the carna- tions. The weather had affected roses also. Even the best popped open. American Beauties that were cut tight at the greenhouses arrived almost half open. The best were shipped ; the others were sold to the local buyers at almost any prices they would bring. Killarney, Bichmond, Maryland, Bride and Maid of good quality went rapidly and moved along much faster than the novelties. There was little call for Mrs. Aaron "Ward, Melody and the others. Sweet peas found a good market, although the stock was not as good as it had been. The heat was responsible for the poor quality. "Valley was hardly so popular as the week before, although the calls from out of town were frequent. The other flowers, too, seemed to have been overlooked in the rush, and while Easter lilies were cleaned out as fast as they came on the market, there was no great demand for gladioli, daisies, snapdragon, etc.; in fact, they were a drug on the market. Greens sold well. New ferns have been on the market for two weeks, but there has been no indication of lower prices for good stock as yet. Following Memorial day, trade again resumed its normal state, and with the wedding and school exercises creating a good demand the week closed rather briskly. "With the opening of the mar- ket June 3 stock was plentiful, but hardly of the quality desired, and the best stock brought more than average prices. The inferior grades found little g Budlong's E Blue Ribbon VaHey Mention The Rerlew when yon write. favor with the buyers, who turned more to peonies, of which there is a heavy supply, the local cut now being on. Boses and carnations undoubtedly suf- fered from the hot weather and, while there is good stock to be had this week, the better grades are not overplentiful. Beauties are coming in faster and Mary- land seems to be holding its own with Killarney. For bouquets, Melody and Mrs. Aaron "Ward have found a brisk market, along with the ever popular sweet peas and valley. Various Notes. A. I. Simmons, on "West Sixty-third street, says that somewhat to his sur- prise his Memorial day business in- creased forty per cent over 1911 and that he thinks all the florists in Engle- wood had a banner trade.

The Chicago Carnation Co., according to A. T. Pyfer, is this week cutting the largest and finest crop of peonies in its history.

"It is remarkable in these days, when the extra wide houses are being advo- coted, to note the success of the so- called short roof houses, especially in the vegetable line, by parties who have tried them out for years already, ' ' says Carl Ickes, of the A.

Mr. Ickes took a trip east a few days ago and booked several orders, a total of twenty-five such houses, with an aggregate length of 10,- 350 feet, which if built in a line is a stretch of almost two miles, with over 165,000 square feet of ulass. Henry Van Gelder, manager for Percy •Tones, has been sick during the last week, but continues to keep on the job. Otto Frese, of Poehlmann Bros.

Ilaus- wirth says they were obliged to close early Memorial day for want of stock. Stollery Bros, say that window box planting has been exceptionally heavy and they are well pleased with the sea- son's business thus far. P. L. McKee, of the J. C. Moninger Co., spent Memorial daj' at the Indian- apolis motor speedway watching the international championship races. He says it was well worth the trip, although somewhat tiring to sit from 8 o'clock in the morning till 6:30 at night. The craft in Chicago contributes four entries in the obituary column in this week's issue. John Sinner says that Sinner Bros, have about finished replanting roses. They had excellent success with their young stock this year, practically every cutting making a fine plant. Phil Schupp, of J. A. Budlong's, is becoming more and more attached to his Maryland and Mrs. Taft roses and asserts that as warm weather flowers they are the real thing. NEW YORK. The Market. Memorial day was a great disappoint- ment to the wholesale cut flower mar- ket, the demand being even lighter than the most dyed-in-the-wool pessimist an- ticipated. The market was top-heavy with lilies, lilac and peonies, while of roses the supply was unlimited. In the city itself the day has no special sig- nificance, the extra call being entirely from the cemetery florists and from out of town. Shipments did not come up to expectations, and apart from some big consignments to Boston, of the carna- tion flood, there was nothing worthy of special mention. The plant trade, how- ever, was enormous. At the midnight market at Fifty-ninth street a big crowd of buyers, largely peddlers, 200 of them, snapped up everything in sight at high prices, geraniums selling up to $1.75, and even $2 per dozen. Before daylight not a plant of any kind remained. The plant market has grown rapidly during the last month, but it is largely con- trolled by the peddling merchants and few florists are ever seen there.

Express number of growers has been greatly added to since the opening and -the per- manency of the enterprise seems assured. Since Memorial day a better tone is evident in the cut flower market. Prices have not advanced, but there was a good clean-up Saturday, Jane 1, and ship- ments from now on are expected to de- crease in volume, while the June wed- dings, commencements and the system of flower distribution inaugurated June 3 by the Wanamaker stores will doubtless spread to the other large mercantile establishments, and perhaps put an end to the wholesale sacrificing that has of late become such a menace to values in the New York market. Various Notes. The New York Florists ' Club will hold its last session until September, Monday evening, June 10, at its rooms in the Grand Opera House building, Twenty- third street and Eighth avenue.

The volume -of business at Memorial day was fully as large as in any previ OHs year. Business was far from satis- factory, because of the immense quan- tity of flowers. Peonies dominated the market. The conditions enveloping the sale ot peonies go far towards explain- ing the situation. Advance orders for peonies were accepted with caution. Some reluctantly were declined, because of the uncertainty of the stock being on time. The warm weather and the rains brought the flowers forward rap- idly. By Tuesday, May 28, the big ship- ping day, there were about enough peonies to fill the orders. Prices were fair. Wednesday, May 29, saw increased receipts and fewer orders, with lower prices. Memorial day brought still heavier shipments and little or no busi- ness. The day after, some of the local ;;rowers were cut out. White sold best, Festiva maxima starting at $8, a few at $10, and going down to $6, $5 and $4 for good stock. The colored varieties were lower. There is always waste in peonies. Carnations were abundant; the best brought $4 and $5. White did not sell; the demand was for good blooms of bright colors. Enchantress suffered. Beauties were in good de- mand. The smaller roses were not wanted, though the short grades were in tremendously heavy supply. Good judges say there were more carnations and roses offered than this market has ever seen before at Memorial day. Sweet peas were plentiful and awfully cheap, only the Spencer type in good colors holding a fair price. Any price was thankfully taken for the rest. These facts will give an idea of Memorial day conditions. There was much entertaining, due to the Devon horse show and other social events, but society had its own roses and peonies June Roses PRINCETON— our exclusive novelty WHITE KILLARNEY KILLARNEY RICHMOND BUTTERFLY SWEET PEAS in all colors PEONIES CARNATIONS EASTER LILIES, etc., etc. BERGER BROTHERS Wboleaale Florists 140-148 Nortk 13th Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Beauties, valley, orchids, Spencer peas and choice pink roses were in demand. The peonies are selling, but the avalanche of these showy flowers still depresses the mar- ket and prices rule low. Opposite Laurel Hill. John Westcott once said: "The dead are soon forgotten." Right, Mr. Westcott, undoubtedly right. Yet there are so many exceptions and such con- stant additions that business at our great cemeteries is heavier than ever this season. William B. Westcott, the Commodore's son, says that scarlet al- ternanthera has been especially popu- lar. It is used for designs planted on grassy plots. Well grown geraniums of Beaute Poitevine and Alphonse Ricard in bud and bloom have more than held their own, while the severe winter has made a big hole in the stock of hardy ivies, always so popular for their ever fresh green. The regulation vase in several sizes, the largest filled with Dracaena indivisa, small foliage and flowering plants once encircled, finds ready sale. Charles E. Fliegel, manager for Mrs. Mary Alburger, is well pleased with the increased demand. The call for baskets and vases, tastefully filled, has made large inroads on their stock. Mr. Fliegel thinks that a high standard of excel- lence in plant workmanship is essential to success. A Sign of the Times.

Commenting on a Boa- ton note in one of the minor- papers, to the effect that no first-class florists should handle metal designs or prepared foliage, but should confine themselves to living flowers and plants, Mr. Berko- witz says that everything has its use and that a first-class florist is one who knows them and profits thereby, humor- ously adding that some people prefer dark clothes and some prefer light.

Burlington, Wis. — A receut hail storm destroyed 2,000 square feet of glass, entailing a loss of -$700 for the Burling- ton Floral Co. Ottawa, Kan. — On the evening of Maj- 27 hail destroyed nearly every pane of glass in the greenhouses con- ducted by A. & B, Eomstedt, near Hope cemetery, entailing a loss of about $800. Quincy, ni.— A hail storm May 23 broke between 200 and 300 panes of glass in the greenhouses of Gottfried Gross. Gentemann Bros, and most of the other florists lost only a few panes, and F. W. Heckenkamp escaped with- out any loss. Hoopeston, 111.— The hail storm which occurred here early Friday morn- ing. May 24, broke about $100 worth of glass in Andrew Peterson's green- houses in this town. At Gibson City, where Mr. Peterson also owns a large range of greenhouses, the damage to his glass was much more serious, as about 6,000 panes were broken there. The loss, however, was mostly covered by insurance. Fessenden, N. D. — R. Olson, proprie- tor of the Fessenden Greenhouses, is a landscape gardener as well as a florist, and handles a full line of all such stock as is needed in his trade, includ- ing plants, shrubs and trees. He has had an excellent spring business and saj's that more nursery stock has been sold in this locality this spring than ever before. FERNS and EVERSREENS Native Rooted Ferns, $3.50 per 100.

Mention The Reylew wben you witt*- WASHZNGTON. Tbe Market. Memorial day will go down in his- tory as the one year in which there were enough cut flowers, and more, to meet the full wants of everyone. Never be- fore were the outdoor roses to be had in such profusion and perfection, and mountain laurel and other wild flowers were plentiful. Peonies were to be had in quantities. The markets were fairly swamped with peonies, mountain laurel and ox-eye daisies, all of which sold well, and the stores had all the trade that could be handled, but more cut flowers of all kinds than could be dis- posed of to advantage. Coming along with the Memorial day business is the large number of commencements, to say nothing of June weddings and heavy funeral work, and all this has made it hard on the florists and their clerks. The weather has turned extremely warm and the thermometer passed 100 degrees June 2. Prices are good con- sidering the stock. Carnations sell readily at from $15 to $25 per thousand. American Beauty roses are going, well at $1 to $3 per dozen, and roses of all colors are moving well at from $2 to $12 per hundred, according to variety and condition. The best sellers are the Killameys. My Maryland is going nicely, as is Kaiserin. Eadiance and Enchanter, grown locally, are standing the hot spell well. There is a limited sale for sweet peas, although a better grade than that now coming in cannot be imagined. Lilies, both Easter and calla, are plentiful, and the price has been crowded down to almost nothing by the enormous supply of peonies that is coming in. Gardenias are still plenti- ful and moving fairly well. The Texas grown stock which has made its ap- pearance, however, is in little demand. Various Notes. The Washington Florists Co. did the decorating at Eauscher's ballroom on the occasion of the luncheon tendered by Count von Bernstorflf, the German ambassador, to the members of the Ger- man fleet which is now visiting Wash- ington. The decorations were carried out mainly in natural oak sprays, while for the table pink peonies were used to good advantage. J. H.

Memorial day business seemed to be fully equal to that of any preceding year. More material, however, was available, and this kept prices down to a lower level than a year ago. A wealth of fine outdoor flowers were in season, which had passed in 1911. Many used these in preference to greenhouse flow- ers, as could be seen by taking a walk around any of the country cemeteries. Then, again, artificial wreaths have not been sold in such numbers for years. These were pushed by quite a number of prominent retailers, to the detriment of the cut flower business. Many thou- sands of these were sold, a popular price being $2.50. If this continues it must greatly injure flower trade at the greatest floral holiday of the year. Red roses, such as Richmonds, were eagerly bought at advanced prices. The demand was largely for medium flowers. Long-stemmed stock was to a large ex- tent neglected. White roses were in oversupply. Scarlet caruations of best quality made $6. A few fancies went at $8, but the general run of flowers made $3 to $5, and late in the day on May 29 a good deal of poor and pickled stock was still awaiting purchasers. More pickled flowers appeared than for a long time, many growers imagining, doubtless, that stock would be scarce and that a bull market would use up everything. Sweet peas sold well, as did gladioli and Spanish irises. There was a big output of snapdragons. Some of it had to go at low prices. Lily of the valley sold poorly; there was a heavy outdoor crop in season, the qual- ity of which in most cases discounted the forced article. Lilies were a rather slow-sale f- quit© a f«w candidums were offered. Colored stock sold well.

There was a heavy output of marguerites, and these sold well, if of decent quality. Colored tulips appeared from one or two grow- ers and made prices equal to carnations. With the exception of the old crimson, Officinalis, no peonies were in evidence except those shipped in and of these large quantities sold well. Cattleyas were a hard flower to sell, as were gar- denias. There was a wealth of lilac, deutzia, Spiraea Van Houttei and other outside material, much of which was hard to move. Business since Memorial day has been fair. With warmer weather, such as June has given us, flowers are more abundant, with poorer quality and de- clining prices. Sweet peas, marguerites, good valley and white and pink roses are in best demand. June, the month of roses, blushing brides and sweet girl graduates, is more appreciated each year by florists, and the outlook this season is good. Bedding plant trade has been excel- lent of late and the run on geraniums shows that a shortage is likely. Hy- drangeas have had a big call. Among the more humble flowers, the demand for pansies has beaten all records. Various Notes. Welch Bros, report a good shipping trade for Memorial day.

They be- lieve that the enormous sales of arti- ficial wreaths constitute a menace to one of the great flower days. May was the fifth successive month to show a temperature considerably be- low the normal. Precipitation was above the average, amounting to four and one-half inches. Memorial day proved one of the coldest, dampest and most dismal experienced for many years. Wheeler & Co., of Waban, the orchid specialists, have an unusually fine dis- play now. Cattleyas Mossiae, Skinneri and Mendellii are noteworthy. The local peony crop is this year of grand quality. The present week will see singles in quantity, but doubles will not be at their best until the middle of the month. The bountiful rainfalls of the present spring are accountable for the most luxuriant vegetation known here in many years. Penn's, on Bromfield street, did an enormous Memorial day business. They advertised artificial wreaths heavily in the local dailies and disposed of thou- sands of them. The garden committee of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society visited the Little Tree Farms of the American Forestry Co., at South Framingham, May 28, and saw many millions of small evergreen and deciduous forest trees growing. It proved to be an interest- ing visit. The annual peony and rhododendron show, June 15 and 16, should this year prove of exceptional excellence. Cer- tainly the plants never looked so prom- ising, thanks to copious rains. The Halifax Garden Co., of Halifax, Mass., had a tremendous pick of car- nations for Memorial day; also a fine lot of sweet peas. The W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley, hit the market right with a superb lot of candidum lilies for Memorial day. They report bedding plant trade as bet- ter than ever before, with some lines already practically cleaned out. The Boston parkway system is now the Mecca for thousands of visitors.

Many of the outdoor flowers, such as lilac, snowball and bridal wreath, had seen their day; nev- ertheless there were plenty of peonies and outdoor roses, which saved some people from patronizing the florists. The weather this year was just right for the peonies, so that the greater sup- ply of the crop came in for Decoration day. Prices for these held up well and the supply was easily disposed of, as the demand seemed to run highest on peonies. The street market Wednes- day afternoon and evening was flooded with peonies and various other home grown cut flowers and plants, brought in by the farmers and gardeners, and while they sold them at a cut rate, this did but little damage to the professional florists, as most of these had nearly all their stock sold long before Decoration day. As to carnations, the supply of these was quite abundant and the demand good. The rose supply was also good, but both roses and carnations are now showing the effect of warmer weather. For Decoration day there was a splen- did supply of giganteum, auratum and callas, also snapdragons, gladioli, stocks, etc. The supply of pot plants this year was much more abundant than last year, and May in general was a busy month, due especially to a brisk plant trade and plenty of funeral work. Various Notes. S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was in town last week. He tells us that business is fine. L. A. Thomas, of Troy, O., and Henry Ehrhardt, of Sidney, O., were visitors here June 2. Both give satisfactory reports on Decoration day trade. After an eight weeks' absence caused by typhoid fever, Mrs. Ruby A.

At Mrs. L. D. Johnson's store, three extra clerks were hired for over Dec- oration day to help in getting out bou- quets and orders. ' ' Decoration day was a hummer, ' ' is the report from the Miami Floral Co., "and not only on this special occasion were we busy, but all through the month, as the plant trade this season was enor- mous; in fact, the plant trade this sea- son is the best it has been any year since we have been in business. ' ' This company has long since completed its planting of field-grown carnation plants, all of which look fine. E. A. L. Jewett City, Conn. — A. A.

There are fields of fifty to 160 acres which were up two or three inches high by May 25. PEAS AT PETOSKEY. The pea growing industry is practi- cally extinct in the northern end of lower Michigan, as a result of the un- profitable character of the crops of the last few years. All the large growers formerly operating in that section of the state have withdrawn and are look- ing for pastures new and, mostly, far afield. Darling & Beahan, who have for years made a specialty of northern grown peas, still are operating in the vicinity of Petoskey, but their acreage is insignificant as compared with what it was a few years ago. They estimate the acreage in the northern counties of southern Michigan as not more than two per cent of what it was five years ago, when all the large seed houses had peas in those four counties. Writ- ing May 27, Darling & Beahan said: "Although the season is decidedly backward, the few peas sown in north- ern Michigan are looking well. The bad failures we have had in northern Michigan the last three or four years have discouraged our farmers to the extent that there is not one acre of peas being sown this spring where there were fifty acres five years ago. All the large seedsmen used to grow peas in the four northern counties of the southern peninsula. We know of none of them who are attempting to grow here this season. We are in hopes of getting a good crop from the few peas we have put out in this locality this season, so that our farmers will be more willing to plant another year." CONDITIONS IN OAUFOENIA. The showers of May 20 and 21 in the California seed growing districts were followed by quite heavy rains May 24 and 25. In the San Juan valley the rainfall amounted to sixty-hundredths of an inch, bringing the total for the season up to eleven inches, only one inch less than the annual average. Almost as much fell in the Santa Clara valley. This late rain will no doubt do some crops considerable good, but will work injury to others. Whether the benefit will be greater than the damage will not be definitely known for a week or so. It is certain that the rot in the let- tuce has been increased and that prob- ably further damage to the onion has resulted. This has been a little worse in the Santa Clara valley, where the last rains were followed by some ab- normally hot days. There is no longer , any hope of more than about half a crop of sweet peas. These May rains, which would have been of the greatest value had they come a month or so earlier, caused considerable losses for the ranchers. A good deal of new cut hay was injured and the cherry crop was materially reduced, as rain on the ripening cherries causes the skin to split and the fruit is then worthless. On the other hand, the recent rains will be of much benefit to other orchard fruits. SALZEB NOT IN HASTE. The La Crosse newspapers recently re- ported that the John A.

Hustwick, the flo- rist and gardener, thinks that Nemesia strumosa Suttoni, which he grows along with his other bedding stock, is one of the finest annuals ever grown. During the winter he uses his greenhouse for carnations, removing part of these in early spring so as to provide room for his bedding stock. This spring he has grown 10,000 asters and about 5,000 miscellaneous plants, including stocks and lobelias. TAOOMA, WASH. The Market. Tacoma florists enjoyed a big trade for- Memorial day, with stock short and everybody having all the business he could handle. Peonies were a week late and much of this kind of stock was imported from Oregon and California. Carnations and practically all green- house cut flower stocks are short, while all potted plants have sold exception- ally well this season and everyone has cleaned up on nearly all lines. Various Notes. H. H. Hinz shipped in some fine peo- nies from Portland this week. Van Slyke & Seamons are cutting nice gladioli and Spanish iris. The Smith Floral Co. reports Memo- rial day sales highly satisfactory. J. li. S. » -,► SPOKANE, "WASH. Florists are divided in opinion as to whether or not the business for Memo- rial day fell below or surpassed last year's record. The majority express the belief that there were at least as many flowers sold. One said that his sales were far heavier and one con- tended that his business was at least fifty per cent below the previous Memo- rial day. "I have been selling flowers in Spo- kane for years," said C. T. Kipp, presi- dent of the Spokane Florist Co., ' ' and I do not recall a year when there was such a demand as we experienced May 28 to 30. We were practically sold out." "This is the first year I have been in the retail business," said B. E. Reimer, manager of the Armstrong Flo- ral Co., "but I think the sales were about equal to last year. We furnish other dealers with flowers and I can not see there was much difference in the wholesale trade." The manager of the Winters Florist Co. expressed the belief that sales were a little heavier this year than last, but said that he had not had time to check up his business. A. Burt, manager of Burt's Flower Store, reported that his stock had been almost exhausted, and the Ziegler Co. said that more cut flow- ers could have been sold had they been in stock. William Hoyt, of the Hoyt Bros. Co., is of the opinion that the trade was at least fifty per cent lighter than last year, and holds the weather partly re- sponsible for the falling off in business. ' * Our regular trade, except for January, has been heavier than for the corre- sponding period last year, but our Easter and Memorial day sales were not more than half as heavy," he said. The favorite flowers were carnations, snowballs and lilacs, and the sales in higher priced varieties were limited in comparison with former years; many people who are in the habit of patroniz- ing the florists contented themselves with decorating the graves of friends and relatives with wild roses and other field flowers. LOS ANGELES, GAL. The Market. While a good deal of the stock sold for Decoration day is of the cheap order,. yet it comes as a godsend to the wholesalers, who were enabled to clean up a lot of surplus outdoor flowers that were beginning to pile up. All the wholesalers and most of the retailers report the day's business the best they ever had for this holiday, and the out- of-town shipments were unusually large and numerous. Carnations were lead- ers and the immense numbers handled would certainly surprise anyone unac- quainted with conditions in this locality. One of the leading Japanese growers of outdoor flowers said thajl; it was quite impossible for him to keep up with the picking. If more could have been LOS ANGELES FLOWER NARm Chas. E.

The Market. t M - Judging from all indications at hand, Memorial day business was up to the mark of that of one year ago. Al- though the out-of-town retailers, on account of the favorable season, seemed to have more stock of their own than they usually do, shipping trade was fair. Carnations were the best sellers for this kind of business, with Bride gladioli, peonies and roses next -in or- der. Sweet peas, stocks, coreopsis and other common stock did not seem to be in such demand this year as for- merly, and the country retailers are changing somewhat and asking for more expensive stock. With some of the growers the first crop of carna- tions is over, and this fact made quite a difference in the amount of light stock shown. White and pale colored roses were in fair supply only, and more could have been used if they had been available. Valley, Easter lilies, Japanese lilies, a few late tulips, white watsonias and iris, while not in as large supply as one year ago, were sufficiently noticeable to help the window shows nicely. The street hucksters also remarked that the tastes of the flower buyers are changing and that they no longer would be contented with a bunch of candy- tuft, stocks or sweet peas for a grave decoration. Outside roses of half a dozen kinds found ready sale, however, and never have they been better than this season. The unexpected rainfall of last week did wonders in shaping outside stock of all kinds to its best advantage. Various Notes. John Kappelman, formerly with the Fairmount Floral Co., in this city, and more recently with Wright's Ilower Shop, of Los Angeles, is in town again for a visit. Messrs. Euehl and Wheeler, of San Jose, and John Gill and John Vallance, of Oakland, are among those from this vicinity who attended the convention of the California Nurserymen's Asso- ciation at Salt Lake City. Nat. EoUeri has returned from a month's visit to Los Angeles. Charles Leopold, who for several years has been manager of the Berke- ley stores of the H. M.

Berberis Thunbergii, the Japa- nese barberry, makes a splendid hedge plant. It is quite hardy and is equally eflFective in spring, summer and winter. Its fruits last until spring. For a coarser and more robust hedge, Berberis vulgaris, the common barberry, could be used. Deutzia gracilis and D. Le- moinei make excellent hedge plants, but should not be sheared in the same way as privet, or their flowering wood will be removed. Allowed to grow nat- urally, they make a beautiful hedge. C. W. NEXT WEEK'S CONVENTION. I wish to sound the last note regard- ing the great convention of the Ameri- can Association of Nurserymen, in Bos- ton, June 12 to 14. Some nurserymen may think that, because the season has been a backward one, that fact will furnish an excuse for absenting them- selves from this annual gathering. Let me warn them that they will make a great mistake if they permit themselves so to do. The Boston nurserymen are expecting and providing for a record- breaking attendance, and the event can be made a red-letter one if members only turn out. Remember, the headquarters of the convention will be the Hotel Somerset, on Commonwealth avenue. It is within ten minutes' ride from either the Back Bay or Trinity station and all Boylston street and Massachusetts avenue cars pass within a short distance of the hotel. John Hall, Sec'y. IT IS THE COMMON BABBEBBY. I am enclosing a twig from a shrub and should be pleased to have you give its name, habits and history. It bears clusters of small yellow flowers, quite sweet scented. The clusters are about two inches long. I enclose part of a blossom cluster in a small envelope. J. C. H. The plant is Berberis vulgaris, com- mon barberry, a common but useful and decorative shrub. It is pretty when in flower and even more handsome later, when in fruit. The fruits persist all winter. This shrub is of the easiest possible culture, and for backs of shrub- beries or for naturalizing purposes it is exceedingly useful. It is practically free from insect attacks. It is easily propagated from seed gathered in the fall, stratified in sand over winter and sown in early spring. It grows five to ten feet in height.

The Kemble Floral Co., in business here and in three other Iowa cities, is planning to build a range of green- houses here and make other arrange- ments for the enlargement of its trade. Preparatory to these new developments, the local branch of the firm will be re- organized and will be incorporated under the name of the Kemble-Smith- Flindt Floral Co. Arthur H. Smith, who has had charge of the business here, will have an interest in the new company. He will continue to have the management of the Boone establish- ment, but will also spend some of his time at Marshalltown, Mason City and Oskaloosa, where the other branches of the business are located. Mr. Flindt, the other member of the new organiza- tion, has been with the Kemble people for the last five years and comes here directly from the Oskaloosa branch. The new greenhouses will be located on Marion street, north of the inter- urban tracks, 'on a 25-acre tract owned by the Kemble Floral Co. This affords ample room for field work and the planting and growing of herbaceous plants and small ornamental stock. While their plant will be more than large enough to care for the local trade at present, the company plans to in- crease the glass area as the city grows. The old greenhouses, on North Story street, will be torn down. Belfast, Me. — George McCorrison, employed by W. E.

An exciting and exclusive storm, says a local correspondent, was staged for the residents of Kansas City, Mo., late in the afternoon of May 27. And it was a real storm, too, for a time. Hailstones as large as walnuts fell in some parts of the city and everywhere the gutters became raging rivulets and sewers overflowed. In the northeast and south sections of the city the hail- stones were large, while in the business section only a few scattered stones fell. The hail continued for fifteen minutes in its chosen districts. St. Jo- seph and the smaller surrounding towns received a slight wetting, but the rain- fall could not be compared to the fall in Kansas City. In the southeastern parts of the city, where the hail was heaviest, the dam- age to greenhouses was almost disas- trous, while those in Kansas City, Kan., and in the norlSieastern part of the city escaped altogether. The Walter Heite place, at Merriam, Kan., was the hard- est hit. Mr. Heite reported that be- tween 7,000 and 8,000 panes of glass were broken in his greenhouses and many of his plants and shrubs were beaten down.

Wittbold Co., MentloD The Review when tou write ST. LOUIS. The Market. Decoration day business this year was far ahead of any previous year; every- body was busy with all kinds of work and plantsmen, too, say they had more to do this year than ever before. An- other good feature was that there was plenty of stock to be had and the whole- salers say they cleaned up nicely on everything that was good and say they never before experienced such a big de- mand for Memorial day. The market since then has been badly overcrowded with roses and carnations and prices have been lowered to what they were ten days ago. The weather has been hot during the day, compelling the growers to cut flowers with a tight bud. Carnations are showing the effect of the hot days in their size, but there are some fine gladioli coming in now, especially America, Bride and Francis King; $8 and $10 per hundred is being asked for them and they are selling well. Peonies have been in abundance and have sold well this season. Sweet peas are not so plentiful as they have been. The quality of cape jasmines sent to this market from Texas brings $1 par hundred. Field daisies are arriving in Plant Ferns When Your B^^ches are Empty I have 50,000 Boston, in 3-in. pots, at $60.00 per 1000. One hundred at thousand rate. If you are not ready now, let us book your order for later shipments. I also have nice 5-ln., 6-in., 7-in. and 8-in. stock. Write for prices. Jo Wo Davis 225 W. 16Ui St. Davenport, la.

Flowers for Memorial day met with an enormous demand here and the stock appeared in great abundance, command- ing higher prices. The warm weather for several days before caused the sup- ply, which was exceedingly fortunate for the florists. Carnations arrived in good quantities, though they were small, owing^to the intense heat. Boses were in goodjuipply and some excellent sweet peas ^w|Pe to be had. Peonies were OdjUlI ^v#e ea in shippea in, as local stock was not yet in, and they met with a ready sale, bringing fine returns. Arrangements of flowers into wreaths and novelties met with great favor, and not a few of the magnolia and galax leaves were used, A fine supply of lilies, snapdragons, gladioli, coreopsis and iris was a de- light to the tradesmen. The beautiful sentiment of honoring not only the country's heroes, but also all the departed from the firesides of our homes, by placing on their graves the sweetest messengers of love and remembrance, is becoming more general with each return of Memorial day, and it is but one of the instances which show the mission of the florists — the mission of helping to brighten and com- fort the lives of our fellow men. jsi Various Notes. At a^'llinner of recent date, the deco- rations, in charge of L. E. Auger, were wholly of orchids. Large Cattleya gigas were used in centerpieces and in cor- sages for the guests. Thirty mammoth blooms were used for the latter pur- pose alone. A decoration that featured summer effects was that arranged on Saturday, June 1, for a large reception, by the Flick Ploral Co. The color scheme was entirely in rose tints and white, with the contrasting greenery of summer foliage. The effective background was brought about by freshly gathered oak branches, the graceful beauty of which brought out the artistic note in the arrangements of the long-stemmed peo- nies in rose shades and delicately tinted pink, mingled with sprays of snap- dragons and syringa blossoms. On the dining table an odd-shaped hat, tumbled on its side, held a profusion of laven- der and pink pastel-tints of sweet peas, while a butterfly of chiffon in the same tints alighted on top. W. .T. & M. S. Vesey, growers of or- chids in this city, are preparing another house, to be devoted to the cultivation of the same flower. S.

Arnold, of Wyn- cote. Waco, Tex. — An assortment of 180 varieties of new plants and shrubs, the gift of the horticultural department at Washington, were recently placed in Cameron park by Landscape Gardener Shimins. Kingsville, Tex. — At the May meet- ing of the Rio Grande Valley Horti- cultural Society, held here, it was an- nounced that $1,500 in prizes had been offered for exhibits of fruit by mem- bers of the organization. Newtonville, Mass. — Geo. W. Harris, successor to H. A. Mansfield at 77 Wal- nut street, is erecting a building for bis own use as a store. It faces on Walnut street and is about five min- utes' walk from Newtonville square. He is also adding two greenhouses. Waynesbiirg, Pa. — The Waynesburg Floral Co., a newly organized firm, has opened a store two doors west of the Citizens' National Bank. The business will be run under the supervision of B. W. Spragg. J. James, formerly of Pittsburgh, will have charge of the decorations. Forest City, la. — C. B. Simons, man- ager of the Hill City Greenhouses, states that though the warm weather was slow in arriving, the total business for the spring season has proved to be the best in his experience. Decoration day trade was unusually heavy, espe- cially in the plant department. Trenton, N. J. — The two new green- houses of the Blackmon Floral Co., on Center street, are nearly completed. The houses are 28x100 and 28x75. The store conducted by the firm on North Broad street was also remodeled re- cently, and the equipments for the transaction of business are now first- class in all departments. Waterloo, la. — J. W. Galloway and Paul F. Scheibe have completed the «rection of two modern greenhouses, 40x100, in Prospect Hills, between Chariton road, Berkshire road and Prospect boulevard, close to the pro- posed site of the new street par waiting station. Eeception rooms for visitors and customers are a part of the con- struction, and a beautiful driveway leads from the buildings to the boule- vard. The owners expect to open a downtown store next fall and also to build two more greenhouses. Hartford, Conn. — John R. Coombs, who recently moved into his new store at 752 Main street, has now got it com- pletely equipped for business and it is said to be one of the handsomest and most up-to-date flower stores in the state. The interior is finished through- out in mahogany, and the wall cases and other furnishings are of the same material. A conspicuous object is the fine new McCray refrigerator, which was built especially for tlie space it occupies and has a capacity of 2,000 pounds of ice. The office is located in a mezzanine balcony overlooking the store from the rear. Vegetable Forcing. DISEASED MUSEMELONS. Can you explain what was the mat- ter with my muskmelons last yearf They grew nicely until they were full of fruit, just ripening; then they com- menced to die off. First the leaves got brown and then the whole stalk died, leaving the melons to wither. I had some cabbage and potatoes in the patch adjoining, and they acted in the same way. When planting the muskmelons, I put a shovelful of old rotted manure in each hill. The field was in tomatoes the year before, which did well. The spring of last year was extremely dry, but the fall was wet. The cabbage plants which I planted adjoining the melons seemed to be affected with a blight when I set them out. They grew fairly well until about ready to head up, when the lower leaves commenced to drop off and finally the whole head would rot. Then the melon stalks be- came affected and were soon ruined. I think that the cabbage caused the trouble. J. K. I have been unable during the last eight years to grow enough melons and cukes for our own kitchen, except in two seasons. My trouble has always been caused by the striped bug. The bugs do not cause the damage by what they eat, but by carrying the deadly bacterial wilt disease, which liills a vine in a week if they chew just a part of one leaf, thus infecting the plant with the disease, which is carried from other fields, sometimes all winter, as the first plants they touch in the spring are quickly affected. Cutting off the leaf or even a branch will not save the plant when once infected. The disease is a kind of growth which stops up the sap tubes in the stalk and the plant really dies for want of water, although wet enough. These same striped beetles also lay eggs that hatch out into a tiny, wire- like worm, which crawls to the stalk when it comes out of the ground and burrows into the stalk, injuring it so the plants often wilt and die. If they can not spoil a crop one way they seem determined to find another way to de- stroy it. I have tried all possible remedies and finally given it up as use- less. All market gardeners around here have quit trying to grow melons, cukes and squashes on that account, but last year I put out a few and they did well; I did not lose a plant; so I am beginning to think perhaps we can grow vines here again as we used to do. I have a suspicion that you had one of these troubles with your melons, but cannot say positively that you did. I do not think that any disease of the cabbage would spread to the melons. Cabbage, if not perfectly healthy when set out, cannot be expected to do well. They are often affected with fungous disease, which rots the stalks just at the surface of the soil when in the seed flats, or when transplanted to the frame before putting them in the field. Im- proper care of them when young is the cause, and what are apparently sound and healthy plants when set out die before making a head. Potatoes are sometimes affected in the same way by Special to the Trade Send for our Liat of Plants. We make a specialty of growing Golden Sell' blanchiiiir* White Plume and Giant Pascal Celery.

Greenhouse Heating. Don't let the boiler stand empty all summer. "When you are through firing draw off the water and fill the system full of fresh water. Makeshift heating apparatus is about the most expensive thing a greenhouse owner can invest in. A well planned, well installed system may cost something, but it is an investment that pays large dividends through fuel saved and also through the improved quality of the out- put of the houses. SUBSCEIBERS 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. ACCELERATING CIRCULATION. We would appreciate information on hot water circulation. The circulation in our heating coils is too slow. We have a^ open system. Would a change to a closed system be the best remedy? The expansion tank is about six feet above the boiler. When we run a good fire it makes steam, stops the circula- tion and forces the water through the expansion tank. How would we have to arrange the piping for a closed sys- tem? There is a vent pipe on the far- ther end of each pipe. F. & K. In such a case, before putting in a closed system, it is well to make needed changes in the present piping and give it another trial as an open system. I POCAHONTAS COAL SALES CO.

Con- nect the expansion tank with the high- est point of the flow pipes and place the tank as high as possible. If this does not do away with the difficulty, close the system by putting on safety and vacuum valves, or by using a mercury pressure valve. F. E. THE FUEL MARKET. The coal trade, though still dull, is beginning to sit up and take notice again. Following the flurry that came at the time of the suspension of min- ing, April 1, the market relapsed into an interval of suspended animation, from which it is only now emerging. The large consumers, and the number included all the larger greenhouse es- tablishments, laid in a reserve stock when it was seen that a shutdown of the mines was about to occur, and when the labor difficulties proved to be of short duration they stopped buying while they used up the reserve supply. Now that more than sixty days have passed, the reserve supplies are about down to normal and most of the larger buyers are feeling the market again. They find it pretty well settled down to normal conditions, demand perhaps not yet quite up to the usual firat-part-of- June level in spite of the late spring, but prices a few cents a ton above what they usually are at this date, be- cause of the recent advance in miners' wages. The coal trade has noticed that the greenhouse trade, as it is known to the fuel people, is year by year becoming less inclined to enter into contracts for the season's supply. Time was when practically all the important greenhouse concerns placed orders for the year's supply, that part which represented the capacity of the sheds to be delivered during the summer and the balance at the rate of a stated number of cars per week during the winter. In certain cases this has worked so satisfactorily that in many years the florists have seen no reason to change the method, What is the Host Vital Point in Grate Construction? a Grate makers and users agree that the most important point is to keep the air spaces open as long as possible under all conditions.

Sometimes the market would fall and for a long time the contract price would be above the spot price, in which case some far- sighted coal men would voluntarily credit the florist with a rebate, but not all coal dealers are far-sighted. On the other hand, the market might rise; then if deliveries came along all right, the florist at least was happy, but if they didn't come there was a strong reason for not making a contract next season, or at least making it with another source of supply. Anyway, the average florist has come to look upon the usual form of coal contract as something for the coal man to hold the florist on and as affording absolutely no j^rotection in the event of labor or railroad troubles or an advancing market. On the other hand, the average coal man has come to look upon a contract with a florist as merely an agreement on the part of the greenhouse man to use a certain ing the past Ave rears.

Our Baatsrn tnatnmmm Iwa •s* oaBiHuBly YOUR Do You Want True Heating Values NOW Many florists, to their sorrow, have made the mietake of buying cast Iron boilers, which, because of their ratings, appeared to be cheaper than the Kroeschell boiler. The extravagant ratings of cast Iron boilers are misleading, and during the past cold winter have been the cause of much disappointment and serious trouble to many growers. The fuel waste is enormous when cast Iron boilers are used for commercial purposes, such as greenhouse heating, etc., etc. Do not make a mistake when selecting your new boiler ; get a Kroeschell boiler and you will never be disappointed. It's the cheapest and best In the end. The KROESCHELL BOILER has the Hi^est Studtrd of HEATING VALUES Immense Self-cleaning Heating Surface Longest Fire Travel— Perfect Combustion— Free Circulation Thl n Waterways— Safety — Durability — b c6nomy Kroeschell Boiler Ratings are Guaranteed The Kroeschell boiler will develop more heat per pound of coal consumed than any other boiler on the market, and we do prove it. Read what our customers say about our boilers and bo convinced. What we do for them we can do for you. Take our advice ontoollers and you will make no mistake. ^sgiBifio] Cast Iron Boilers break down twice In four years ; Moral : Use Kroeschell Bollers-they are safe I bought a No. 2 boiler in 1902. Takes caire of 7000 pq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2000 more. I have had a cast iron boiler, but it brolie down twice in four years — always in the coldest weather. It broke down Dec. 29, 1904, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell Boilers and do not worry about their breaking down. Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

EXHAUST STEAM. Have any of the commercial growers tried to heat greenhouses with exhaust steam from factories? There is an elec- tric light plant about 250 feet distant from my greenhouses. I.covild get the exhaust steam at small cost, if I were sure that the plan would be practical. It is entirely practical to heat a greenhouse with exhaust steam, if it 'loes not have to be carried more than Ihe distance you mention. Care should be taken to have the pipes thoroughly insulated. They can be run under- ground, through sewer pipes or in grout conduits. F. R. GAS UNDER BOILEE. We should like to know whether there is a boiler in the market especially con- structed for gas as fuel? We shall be much obliged for any information along this line, as well as for other people's opinions about the most economical gas burners. C. & C.

From a general observation, business 18 up to the standard at this season. Decoration day is considered the last day of the closing season to make a general clean-up. The result was satis- Irfactory. While outside stock was plen- tiful, there was a sufficient number of customers to reward the extra efforts. The continued warm weather for sev- eral weeks has wrought havoc with the ■carnations and roses; while the quan- tity is sufficient, the quality is poor. Marylands, Kaiserins and Beauties are most in evidence. Peonies have about passed and only the storage stock is left to supply the future demand. Sweet peas, gaillardias and coreopsis are plen- tiful. In potted plants there is a con- siderable variety, including fuchsias, gloxinias, geraniums, hydrangeas and general bedding stock. The stands in the markets generally cater to this par- ticular trade. Various Notes. Bernard Hobbs has just returned from a trip to the Pacific coast with the Shriners. He reports a most enjoy- • able trip. John Eatcliffe, formerly of Ratcliflfe & Tanner, has a nice location at 209 West Broad street. He reports busi- ness as highly satisfactory. H.

Memorial day trade was up to ex- pectations, and a number of florists re- port it better than last year. There was no scarcity of flowers this year. Peonies were to be had in almost any quantity. Field daisies, candytuft, sweet peas, feverfew and other stock were enough to go around. Trade has been good. The bedding trade is holding up and will probably drag along for several weeks more. Bedding stock is still obtainable in al- most any quantity. There has been considerable cheap competition in this line this year. Store trade is booming; June wed- dings and commencements are keeping the store men on the run. Various Notes. S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, spent a day with the trade last week. Indianapolis is to have a new flower store. A corporation composed of Meyer Heller, Earl Mann and Fred Lemon was formed last week, capital- ized at $6,000. They have leased a building north of Ohio street on Penn street and are remodeling it. This firm expects to be ready for business in about two months. A. Wiegand & Sons are tearing down three of their old greenhouses and are going to put up two new ones in their place. These houses are to be equipped with cement benches. Albert Pittet had a fine lot of fever- few, candytuft and sweet peas for Deco- ration day. Martin Beukauf, with H. Bayers- dorfer & Co., spent a day with us this week. Paul Hoffman, with A. Wiegand & Sons, is all smiles. It is a boy. Frank Hasselman, of the Indianapolis Flower & Plant Co., says their plant business was fine this year. Bertermann Bros. Co. reports the Decoratioij day business better than last year. Martin Brandlein has the lawn in front of his greenhouses decorated with plants and rustic vases, which add greatly to the attractiveness of his place. Albert Pahud, Sr., is selling his stock and expects to retire from the florists* business. Sidney Smith has been doing con- siderable bedding business. The Pahud Floral Co. reports business better than ever. Henry Bieman had a busy Memorial day. ' Mr. Bieman had orders for 600 cemetery bouquets a week before Memo- rial day. H. L. W.

Quaker City Rubber Company PHILADELPHIA CHICAGO PITTSBURGH NEW YORK HAIL AT CEDAB BAPIDS. A heavy fall of hail which lasted for about five minutes did much damage in Cedar Eapids, la., and vicinity on the evening of May 23. The most serious damage was done to the property of Wencil Bezdek, a veteran gardener. Mr. Bezdek 's greenhouses on Johnson avenue, about one mile west of the city limits, were under the heaviest fall of hailstones. About $600 worth of glass was broken. Mr. Bezdek this season has devoted special attention to the growing of cucumbers in the green- houses and had fine prospects for a great crop. These plants were damaged, but not ruined. The damage done to plants will cause some financial loss. The greenhouses were partly insured. Mr. Bezdek will rebuild and enlarge them. At the greenhouses of Grant, New- port, southwest of Cedar Eapids, the damage done amounted to about $150. At the 'Krebs greenhouses, southwest of the city, over 700 lights of glass were broken. Gardeners like F. J. Goodrow, John Krenek and J. Camburn also sus- tained damage, because of much glass above hotbeds being broken. In some instances the damage amounted to $50 to one gardener. Fruit, it is Said, was not damaged enough to attract notice. Cherries were still too small to be shaken off the trees easily, and were able to stand the vigorous pelting from the big hail- stones.

The Gateway to the South. Present business is good and the out- look for the immediate future is bright. The supply is adequate and the demand is sufficient to take up most offerings nicely. Up to this time commence- ments have taken up their share of the supply, but the largest is still to come, namely the joint commencement exer- cises of the Cincinnati high schools at Music hall on the evening of June 7. Ad- vance orders for flowers and decorative material for weddings are coming in nicely. The Memorial day business was good and took up practically everything in sight that was worth while. It was also a good day for bedding stock. The first reports were, as usual, that stock would be scarce; then it seemed that there would be an oversupply, and finally, as one rush order after another came in, nearly all was taken up. Hap- pily there was plenty for everyone and no one had to be disappointed. Only late shipments and a few peonies and lilies were held over. Right now the flowers of quality, in quantity, in the market consist of all the commercial varieties of roses, car- nations, lilies of the valley, lilies and peonies; also such other flowers as gladioli, cape jasmines, cornflowers and coreopsis. Outdoor ramblers and Dor- othy Perkins are beginning to bloom and the first of these have been seen in the wholesale houses. The business in greens is good, and at times it is a hard matter to obtain an adequate supply. Various Notes. Geo. F.

You are aware of the great amoiuit 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^ 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 containing 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 con- venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the worlc contin- ues 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 dura- bility of the carriers; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green- houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 103 t INCH SPACE BETWEEN BAR AND PLATE ORIP OPENING The Courts Decide that We have Exclusive to Use this Eave Plate, Right The following is a news item that appeared in the florist papers of last week. It states the situation so clearly that we reprint it as follows : "In a recent decision handed down by the judges of the U. S. Circuit Court — the court of last resort in patent cases — the Bum- ham patent, No. 583247, was sustained. This decision main- tains Lord & Burnham Co.'s right to the exclusive use in greenhouses of their galvanized ice clearing angle iron eave plate, which has so long been one of the features of their construction. This decision applies alike to the regular angle plate, the Z-Bar plate, or any modification of the original plate now licensed to be used by the Lord & Burnham Co. "Such a decision, we under- stand, not only affects any manufacturer using: the plate for srreenhouses, but] renders liable the owners] of such gfreenhouses as w,el][." House of a Boston Market Grower who says this heavy ice clogrtring: wooden plate was good enough for his father, and it's good enough for him. Same house taken next day after snow had thawed and formed a beautiful curtain of ice. It hung there for over a week and when it did let loose much glass was broken.

Getting What is Asked For. A few weeks ago a subscriber sent several photographs to The Eeview, with the statement that the designs shown were samples of his work and that he would be pleased to have them criticised. One of the designs, with criticisms by four experts, was pre- sented in The Eeview of May 9; an- other design, a wreath of galax and carnations, received similar comment in the issue for May 30; the heart design is picked to pieces herewith. The maker of the designs, being so good-natured as to submit the photo- graphs for such a purpose, is undoubt- edly receiving the criticisms in the same spirit, perhaps remarking: "I am getting what I asked for — honest criticism, whether it is entirely just or not, and I have neither the right nor the disposition to grumble because the critics are finding flaws. I am not suf- fering any; the martyrdom is less severe than I had supposed it might be, and it may be helpful to others besides myself. ' ' The letter that accompanied the photographs was as follows: 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 opportunity. In reproducing I ask that you leave the name In. Hilary E. Le Page. Too Vague in Outline. The first impression received on glancing at this piece is a sense of vagueness. "What is itf" That was the first question asked by several per- sons to whom I showed the picture. If the heart had been completed in the same way in which the upper left-hand corner was filled it would have had a clear-cut, smooth surface, and it would have become a distinct piece. The edge around the right side is fairly scalloped, where the outline should be smooth and unbroken. On the lower left-hand side the outline is equally ob- scure. The next time you make a heart, round up the center, with moss, and cover perfectly solid and smooth from the bottom of the outside edge to the center until it looks as even as the sur- face of a piece of paper, not forgetting to shape the dip at the top correctly. Carnations, asters, pansies, chrysanthe- mums, or Paper White narcissi make the choice of material for construction. Use no foliage except in the decoration, and one kind of flowers if possible. Those places which appear to be only dark spots in the photograph may be dark foliage or flowers, and the extent of harm which their use causes might not occur to one until the photograph shows them up. Another "don't": Don't mix colors indiscriminately if they are not har- monious. The construction of the heart frame is faulty in that the dent at the top is too deep. • This might have been remedied in the filling by an extra bunch or two of flowers on the inside of the frame. There are two styles of decoration for a solid heart: A loose bunch in the center, which does not extend far enough outward to break the outline; or a few small flowers, such as forget- me-nots, violets or rosebuds, scattered over the surface, pinned as they would fall and lie if scattered or dropped from above. Theft nobody will question its identity. It will be a clear-cut, de- cided heart. Friend, just reverse the order of What is its cause of existence? What theory does it contain or what story does it tell? Nothing! The eye sees the whole outline and is pleased by its curved j^pportions, and so travels on into the picture for further information, but in this instance it is shocked by a heterogeneous mass, absolutely without rhyme or reason. We find masses without any mass principle, for they are broken into by meaningless vacant spaces and differei^t varieties of blooms stuck into the form with the appearance of a desire to con- sume a given quantity of material, and even then failing to fill the before- mentioned spaces. There is no story; there is no opposi- Heart Desi^Q Sent in for Criticism. things.

This is evidently a heart; the outline to a greater or less degree proves it. tion, and no high light or interest point. Had the maker taken his narcissi, which appear to predominate, and massed them alone to give his heart form, or even utilized his carnations if needed, he could then have lengthened his rose, valley and hyacinth stems and, using one as the high light, treated the other" two as his opposing factors.

The naked easel is again in evidence. Cover it. Fred C. W. Brown. Lacking in Form. In criticising this heart one has to go back to the wire man who made the frame. Compared with the conventional heart-shaped design, this is surely a poorly shaped one. It is altogether too long and is cut in too far at the top Of course, the designer could have im- proved on the shape without much trouble when arranging the flowers. Such a variety of flowers seems to have been used in the make-up that if they had been nicely arranged a hand- some design would have been the result. As near as the eye can discern from the photograph, there have been used valley, carnations, roses. Paper White narcissi and Eoman hyacinths. Just what the dark spots in the picture mean it is hard to say, unless they were some flowers of another color, presumably red. The designer seems to have had no scheme at all in making up this heart, the flowers appearing to have been stuck into the frame in "any old way," so long as they were all used up. The Bomans and Paper Whites would have been much better as a border for the piece. Then, by using a few more of the white carnations, the heart could have been made to appear solid white, with a nicely arranged spray of roses and valley across the center. If red flowers were used a smaller heart could have been worked out in the center in red and surrounded by white flowers. There are numerous ways of arranging flowers in the form of a heart, but we should never fail to get a nice outline. The flowers in this design may have been artistically arranged; if so, the photograph fails to give the artist cred- it, as is often the case. From the ap- pearance, it looks as though the de- signer had a number of flowers already fctemmed and was under obligations to stick them all into this design. They are altogether too crowded and enough could have been left over to make an- other small piece by judiciously using some fine green with the flowers. Hugo Schroeter. SAMUELSON'S NEW CAB. Among the attractive machines used for delivery purposes in Chicago is the new White car belonging to C. A. Sam- uelson. It is as up-to-date as any in service. The chassis is a regulation White model, with a specially con- structed body and blended so as to make it notable for its unusual beauty and graceful lines. The machine is painted a soft green and appeals to one at a glance as being the result of careful study on the part of its de- signer. It therefore is a means of dig- nified publicity, inasmuch as it causes comment for beauty rather than for the sensational. This is the second car put in use by Samuelson, the first having been a Packard machine. He found that the one drawback to the automo- bile as a commercial vehicle in a trade where dependability is a prime neces- sity was the frequency of tire troubles. These he has eliminated by filling his tires with one of the substitutes for air which recently have come on the market. 3C ac ac II SEASONABLE Sif^ 1 J^ ^ SUGGESTIONS \ ' ir - II II II ir Foinsettiaa The poinsettia stock plants will now be producing an abundance of fine cut- tings. These should be taken off twice a week before they get too long. Those rubbed off with a heel attached are to be preferred and will root most easily. Give them, if possible, a cutting bench where they will get some bottom heat. This is not absolutely necessary, as after the early part of June they will root freely in a coldframe, if kept mod- erately close and carefully shaded from direct sunshine. In putting in cuttings of poinsettias, or in fact of almost any other plants of a soft-wooded nature, trim the leaves back quite severely. Primulas. There is no other place equal to a coldframe for primulas from this time on. Have a hard bottom for them. Over this lay a good coating of clean coal ashes, and worms will not then bother your plants. If you lay the ashes over an old hotbed, for instance, New Whtte Delivery Car of C. A. Samuelson, Chicago. swarms of worms will soon find their way into the pots and almost ruin the plants. Occasionally writers taboo coal ashes as injuring pot plants, even going so far as to suggest that sulphurous fumes from them arise to destroy the plants. We can safely set aside all this as rank nonsense. The best growers of high-grade pot plants use them and I have yet to find any case of injury which can be in any way attributed to them. The primulas, if in flats, should be potted singly. At the earliest potting, use plenty of rather flaky leaf-mold. This is better than that which is thor- oughly decayed. The plants must be protected from bright sunshine. The easiest, but worst, way to do this is to whitewash the glass. This results in drawn-up plants. The proper way is to use some movable shading. Cheesecloth answers well, but blows about too much. The coolest and most satisfactory shad- ing is made of wooden laths, which are only to be used when the plants really need protection from the sun. They let in sufficient light to prevent the plants from becoming drawn, and in extremely hot weather it is best to use them over the plants and remove the sashes, using the latter, however, when heavy rains threaten. Spray the primulas over on warm afternoons. When once we get settled, warm weather, this damping over each evening will be found re- freshing. Chrysanthemums. Many of the single-stem mums will now be potted off and some are no doubt either planted out or ready to go on the benches. It is usually diffi- cult to find time for the proper empty- ing and refilling of benches until Me- morial day has passed and given us a little breathing spell, but it is a poor policy to leave the little mums in pots until they are matted and starved at the roots. Eather than allow this to occur, give the plants a shift, or, bet- ter still, place them ifl flats until you can find time to plant them out. Some growers adopt the plan of taking rooted cuttings direct from the sand and benching them. There is always more or less risk attached to this plan. If we should get a few cloudy days, so that the plants can become established, the majority will grow. If, on the JUKB 13. 1912. The Weekly Florists* Review. 11 other hand, we should get a hot wave, a large proportion are liable to either die or get such a crippling that they are of little real value. Don't leave cuttings too long in the sand. They soon become hard, and once they reach this stage, no after treatment will bring them back into condition. CyclamenBi. The treatment advised for primulas will suit the cyclamens almost equally well. No other place equals a cold- frame for them from June to Septem- ber, and when occasion requires they may be kept there until early in No- vember. Never close the sashes tightly; it is better to keep them tilted up, both back and front, all the time. This is easily done by building a light frame- work to rest them on — something easily knocked down when the cool evenings necessitate it. Keep the plants moving right along; never let them get stunted in flats or pots. Once they are potted, give them a picking over, weeding and any needful spacing as they grow. They also will appreciate light spray- ings overhead in the hot weather. Also syringe them occasionally with a nico- tine extract or some soapy spray for aphis and thrips. This is better than fumigation and just as effective. Hydrangeas. If an adequate supply of hydrangea cuttings were taken early in the season, these will have rooted and been potted some time ago. They can be either pot- grown or planted outdoors and lifted in the fall. In a dry summer pot-grown plants have many advantages, but if we get a fair amount of moisture, outdoor plants grow fast. They do not force so wel) early in the season as pot-grown stock, but answer well for a late Easter or Memorial day trade. Plant out in well enriched ground and if the location is one where artificial watering is pos- sible, in case of drought, so much the better. Pot-grown plants should be kept plunged to their brims and have an open, sunny exposure. From 2i/4-inch pots, shift to 4-inch, and later to 6-inch. Big shifts are not to be recommended for these or any other plants. Asters. The last sowing of asters will now have been made. These late batches al- ways prove extremely useful, coming in as they do just in advance of the chrys- anthemum crop. Choose a cool and cloudy day for pricking them off, and when planting out, if the ground is not moist, be sure to have a nice ball of moist soil on each. It is always well to select cloudy, damp days for work of this kind. The trouble is we do not get such conditions at all times when wanted, and if we wait too long the plants are liable to be overgrown and spoiled. Early planted batches are now grow- ing well and are pushing up their flower stalks. Encourage them in every pos- sible way by keeping the ground con- stantly stirred with the cultivator, l^on't wait for a rain'fall before tickling the soil. Do it frequently, even in the 'Iriest weather. You will thus keep a 'lice, loose mulch about the plants and •'t the same time kill all seedling weeds. THE WEDDING BUNCH.

A number of the favorite perennials, especially the June flowering ones, were described in The Eeview of June 6, page 16. The list is here continued. The dwarf phloxes are among the hardiest and most reliable of early blooming perennials. P. divaricata and the variety Laphami are of a delightful lavender blue shade, and, aside from their value in the hardy border, make beautiful subjects in pots or pans in early spring, as does P. subulata lilacina. None of the paniculata phloxes will flower for some time yet, but P. suft'ruticosa Miss Lingard, white with a delicate blue eye, has flower spikes well advanced. This is by all odds the finest of all the later flowering hardy phloxes, and cuttings taken in Septem- ber or October produce grand spikes of bloom in a cool greenhouse in April or early May. Phloxes are easily propa- gated from cuttings, which should be taken as soon as growth starts in the spring. These cuttings will give nice little plants, carrying fine spikes of flowers in August. Dwarf Plants for Edgings. Among dwarf plants adaptable for borderings or carpetings, Viola cornuta is one of the best. It is in bloom in May and persists until November. There is a pure white form, which should be propagated from cuttings; also a new, deeper blue variety, atropurpurea, of more compact habit than the older types and much more floriferous. This is a first-class novelty. The various grass pinks, or Dianthus plumarius, will open in a few days. They are charm- ing, old-fashioned edging plants, as are the Carpathian bell flowers. Campanula Carpatica, which make a nice green edging now, even before they flower. These two latter plants are easily in- creased by divisions. No hardy border should be without some plants of Pyrethrum roseum, which can be obtained of almost every imaginable color from a single packet of seeds, and surely few hardy plants are more valuable for cutting. Spring or August is a suitable time for divid- ing or transplanting P. roseum. If planted late, a large proportion will be winter-killed. When planting this most useful perennial, be sure to give it a position where water will not stand, or the plants will rot. Favorite Blue Flowers. Anchusa Italica is one of the most intense blue flowers we have. The va- riety Dropmore, gentian-blue in its dis- tinctive coloring, is a charming form, grbwing three or four feet high. A. Italica Opal is of a lighter blue shade, , but otherwise similar to Dropmore. These propagate easily from seeds. Mertensia Virginica, often called the blue bell, is now passing. Its drooping panicles of light blue flowers, which later turn to clear pink, are quite pleas- ing. This is another perennial well adapted for wild garden culture. Dielytra or Dicentra spectabilis, known as the bleeding heart, is a grace- ful and effective plant in the hardy border, as well as a useful subject for forcing in early spring. D. eximia for- mosa, while a less striking plant, carries pretty pink flowers, and these may be picked from it for six months, some- thing possible with only a few peren- nials. To Take the Place of Ferns. A query often asked is, * ' What plants can be grown to produce nice foliage which will take the place of ferns and asparagus?" The thalictrums or meadow rues are fine for this purpose. T. adiantifolium, with creamy white flowers, and with foliage resembling maidenhair fern, as its name indicates, is fine. There is also the more robust T. aquilegifolium, with rosy purple flow- ers, and T. aquilegifolium album, pure white, as well as the exceedingly robust T. Cornuti, not yet in bloom. This latter sort grows from six to eight feet high with good culture. Of the lychnis family, L. Haageana, orange scarlet, and L. Viscaria flore pleno, often called the ragged robin, are good early flowering varieties. Among the other perennials now open are Pole- monium reptans, Polygonatum multi- florum, or Solomon's seal, and Smilacina racemosa, or false Solomon's seal. These two latter like some shade, and are at their best in woodlands, as are Cypripedium acaule, deep pink; C. pu- bescens, yellow, and C. spectabile, pink and white, for which a compost of leaf- mold, sand and light loam, with good drainage, is desirable. Perhaps one of the most valuable of all perennials to the commercial florist is Convallaria majalis, or lily of the valley. Few plants respond better to generous treatment. It is too often given some out-of-the-way place and allowed to grow almost uncared for. To produce first-class spikes, which will far surpass in quality any of the. forced article, a bed should be deeply dug and liberally manured. Planting can be done in late fall or spring, and the beds should, before winter, always receive a mulch of well decayed manure. For- tin 's lily of the valley is the finest type for outside planting. It pays to give the little extra price for it. Lily of the valley can be grown well in either sun- shine or shade. It pays to have some planted in each way, and if a northern exposure can be selected for some, quite a long succession can be had. In some states this flower is at its best at Memo- rial day, as was the case in Massachu- setts the present year, and the value of a good bed for this occasion can scarcely be overestimated. Peonies have not been mentioned. The Moutan section are almost over and some of the herbaceous singles are open, but a special article would be needed to give these justice. Even without them the hardy garden is so full of interest and beauty now that every flower lover can find new delights in it daily. HH -.^i.-',-- :t — — ^ B ADIANTUM FOR CUTTING. The Culture is Easy. No matter how plentiful other greens may be, there is always a demand for adiantum and usually at a profitable price, for when once the plants are established there is little trouble in their culture. Although there are other species that are more or less popular in the market, Adiantum cuneatum and its varieties are the most generally grown and the most useful. In some markets the deep green, mature fronds sell best, but other markets demand a paler, almost yellow fern and will take no other if this is to be had. The culture is easy in either case. The Pale Shade of Green. To get the pale green fronds with a certain degree of hardness or solidity, pot culture is probably the safest way, as a certain degree of starvation treatment is necessary. Plants that have the run of benches do not, as a rule, keep the yellow tinge long enough to attain the requisite maturity for shipping, but in pots the feeding is more easily managed and, owing to the limited root run, the fronds do not take on the deep green tint. A house kept at 55 degrees at night is warm enough for cuneatum and the plants should be grown in the full sunlight as long as possible. Heavy shading leads to a soft, deep green growth, producing elegant stock, but not of the right color. The plants should be allowed to get fairly well potbound before watering too heavily, but after this takes place they may be watered overhead daily in bright weather. Raising Plants from Spores. Plants are usually offered at almost any season of the year by firms that make a specialty of their culture, oi they may be raised at home by sowing spores. These are usually sown on the surface of prepared flats, and a shady position, where they can be always kept moist, is the best. Some growers succeed by placing their flats under benches, but there is a risk of drip in such places, and drip is absolutely fatal to success. When the green coating spreads over the sur- face of the soil in the flats, showing that the spores have germinated, any water falling from a distance causes this to die out in patches. A much better plan than the under-the-bench method is to prepare a frame in a shady corner of the house and use a pane of glass to cover it and exclude the air. By having the surface of the soil quite moist when the spores, or seeds, are sown, and damping the in- side of the frame regularly, the soil may be kept suflSciently moist to in- sure germination with practically no overhead watering.

Mr. Evans' friends will be pleased to learn that no bones were broken; X rays showed no fracture. Mr. Evans did, however, sustain several bad bruises, especially on the hips. After a few days in a hospital he was able to resume his travels. NOTES OF THE LONDON SHOW. On all W. A. Manda's numerous groups there were small British and American flags with the staffs crossed. Mr. Manda put the United States on the horticultural map, all right. B. Hammond Tracy attended the meeting of the National Gladiolus So- ciety of Great Britain, held in connec- tion with the International show. His exhibit won a silver cup. Following the exhibition, J. S. Brun- ton, who guided the party of British visitors to America last spring, started off on a fortnight's tour of Germany, France and Holland, leading a party of British and American members of the trade. In the American delegation there were: A. H. Brown, grape-fruit grower of Manatee, Fla.; Henry Daille- douze and Paul Dailledouze, Flatbush, N. Y.; A. Farenwald, Eoslyn, Pa., who expected to meet Mrs. Farenwald in Germany; A. Junge, Secaucus, N. J.; William Nicholson, South Framingham, Mass.; H. Papworth, New Orleans; E. N. Reaaoner, Oneco, Fla.; B. Hammond Tracy and Mrs. Tracy, Wenham, Mass., and R. Vincent, Jr., and Mrs. Vincent, White Marsh, Md. C. H. Totty and H. A. Bunyard went to Paris and other places of interest, and E. G, Hill, John Evans, J. A. Peterson, Louis Dupuy, Leonard Barron and E. Bonnot also went their own way. J. K. M. L. Far- quhar and M. A. Patten returned home immediately, as did W. A. Manda. The Perpetual Flowering Carnation Society gave a banquet May 2S at the Holborn restaurant, at which most of the American visitors were among the guests. R. Vincent, Jr., replied to the toast, "Our Guests." E. G. Hill pro- posed the toast to "The Perpetual Flowering Carnation Society," and H. A. Bunyard proposed the toast to ' ' The Dinner and Entertainment Committee." Other speakers included Mrs. B. Ham- mond Tracy and W. A. Manda. An- nouncement was made by Mr. Totty that the American contingent would provide the society with a silver cup valued at $50 in recognition of the event. On the following Saturday the American visitors were taken to W. E. Wallace's nursery. Mr. Wallace made many friends in America when he vis- ited growers last spring and much in- terest was taken in his methods of cul- ture. Luncheon was provided by Mr. Wallace, after which the afternoon was spent at the famous Rothschild place at Ascot. The King of England conferred knighthood upon Harry J. Veitch, of James Veitch & Sons, during the Inter- national. At one of the conferences a paper on "Horticultural Education in America," by Prof. L. H. Bailey, was read by the secretary, the author not being present. The International exhibition is said to have cost between $90,000 and $95,- 000. The admission fee the first day was approximately $10, and the day's takings were about $3,450. Each day after the first the admission was re- duced one-half, until it got down to 25 cents. On the day when the admission was half a crown 20^000 people were present. Including the income from donations, the financial success of the show was early assured. The big event of the occasion, outside of the exhibition itself, was the ban- quet given May 24 by the Royal Horti- cultural Society in honor of the foreign guests. Leading men of the trade the world over were among the guests. Among the Americans present were noted the following: Leonard Barron, E. Bonnot, H. A. Bunyard, Henry Daille- douze, P. Dailledouze, Louis Dupuy, J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Adolph Faren- wald, E. G. Hill, A. Junge, W. Nichol- son, Harry Papworth, Marcellus A. Pat- ten, J. A. Peterson, C. H. Totty and B. Hammond Tracy. E. G. Hill was one of three, all from different countries, who responded to the toast "Our Brother Rosarians from Be- yond the Seas" at a dinner given by the National Rose Society, following a conference at which the world's noted rose men were present. There were dozens of excursions to places of interest, that kept the foreign visitors on the go every waking minute they were in London. BEAI. INTERNATIONALISM. ' ' An international exhibition of horti- cultural produce that will do justice to all concerned is an impossibility," says the Gardeners' Chronicle, London. "It has been tried over and over again, with the invariable result that the home country has always been an easy first and the rest nowhere. The present exhibition at Chelsea is no exception. Those of us who know the capabilities of horticultural producers in France, Belgium and Holland recognize that, excellent as are many of their exhibits, they do by no means iuU justice to the admirable skill of the continental grow- ers. Circumstance renders this result 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ June 13, 19^.2. inevitable. Difficulties of transport, in- compatibilities of season, not to men- tion commercial considerations, are ob- stacles that cannot be surmounted. Pre- cisely the same thing has happened when England has attempted to take part in international exhibitions else- where. "Nevertheless, and despite the heavy handicap which distance imposes on foreign exhibitors, we are convinced that the interests of the world's horti- culture cannot be better served than by the holding of occasional international shows. They serve to mark the progress of horticulture and help to define the special characteristics of the various nations of the world." WEAK-STEMMED RHEA SEIDS. We have some Rhea Reids from which we are taking a fairly large crop of good blooms, with stems averaging two feet long. After the flowers are cut about three or four hours, the stems at the base of the flowers become so soft and weak that the flowers are of no account for sale and cannot be revived by even cutting the stems shorter. Can you tell us the reason for this and, if possible, a remedy? None of the other roses in the same house ever do this. W. M. R. S. We think that if W. M. R. S. would arrange to give the plants more air, there would be no trouble with the cut blooms having weak necks. The Reid is a grand rose at this time of year, but requires special culture to grow it strong. In midwinter we are bothered with it at times; for instance, during a long spell of cloudy weather, the wood may get a little soft and some of the stems may get weak at the neck of the flower. But at this time of year there should be no trouble if the plants are given all the air they require. It is possible that the location of the plants in the house may have something to do with the trouble. The inquirer simply states that some of the flowers have weak necks; hence, for lack of more details as to his treatment of the plants, only a general reply can be made to his question. Bassett & Washburn. SOSES IN COLORADO. Will you please answer the following questions with reference to the growing of roses here, in the vicinity of Den- ver, Colo., as I need some light on the subject! What are the best night and day temperatures for Killarney, Chate- nay and Richmond? What makes the buds on Killarney shrivel and look kinky? We are going to plant our old Killarney stock. How long should they be left on the dry side and how closely would you advise to prune them? How much fertilizer should we use' to 100 square feet? Our soil is a sandy loam. I have good success in growing roses, but should like to get the opinion of some other grower. C. A. M. In answer to the inquiry of C. A. M., I shall try to describe our treatment of Killarney, Chatenay and Richmond roses. We grow only grafted stock of these varieties and carry them at a night temperature of 58 to 60 degrees and a day temperature of 65 to 70 de- grees, with a crack of air on whenever possible. We have grown all of these varieties since their introduction, with fair success. In regard to the shriveling of the buds of Killarney, this may be caused by any of the following conditions: Too wet and soggy soil, too sudden and great a drop in the temperature of the house, or a touch of mildew. We dry off a bench or a house for two weeks before replanting, and move the plants from one bench to another with entirely new soil, as we find this much better than digging part of the old soil away and filling in. As to pruning, we cut out the weak wood and cut the strong wood down to twelve to fifteen inches. We mix with our compost, the base of which is virgin prairie sod, one- eighth of old cow manure, screened, and might just as well leave even that small amount out, as our cow manure has many qualities that are injurious to new rose roots. We use bone flour, ten pounds to the 100 square feet, worked into the soil at the time of planting. J. A. Sked. POLLWORTH'S CARNATIONS, C. C. Pollworth, Milwaukee, says that his concern never has had a finer crop of carnations than the one cut for Memorial day. He sends the snapshot reproduced herewith in support of his statement. CINCINNATI. The Gateway to the South, Business is holding up nicely and seems in a fair way to be making atone- ment for the dullness that immediately followed Easter. The commencement demand has thus far been good, but hardly up to the high mark of other years as far as total sales are concerned. More Beauties than ever before were used, but in other lines the demand fell off considerably. A fair amount of funeral work helped, however, to make the week a good one. The shipping business is large and better than home business. Practically everything of real quality moves out fairly well, but there has been some left over at times, particu- larly in carnations, pink roses and lilies. White roses are cleaning up at sight. This also applies to Richmond and Rhea Reid, but in the case of these last two the special demand is about over. Peonies, for most practical purposes, are nearly out of the market. Sweet peas grow more abundant each day and ;the blooms sell nicely and quickly. Lilies of the talley are good property and are in demand for June weddings. Phlox and hardy hydrangeas are among th6 newer offerings. The call for all kinds of green goods is strong, the two leaders being cut ferns and smilax. Club Meeting.

Heckman, Jr., and Herbert Greensmith, who were ordered to prepare papers concerning "Pub- licity" in the various lines of the busi- ness in which each was particularly in- terested, said papers to be read at the annual meeting in July. The society then voted funds to be used in pro- viding refreshments at the annual meet- ing and Wm. Murphy promptly added a substantial donation to the sum. Max Rudolph, chairman, Alex Ostendarp and Chas. Murphy were then appointed an entertainment committee to look out for these details. Lastly, an invi- tation was extended to all florists of this vicinity to attend the annual meeting. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell was the first in the market to oflfer Shasta daisies this season. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange is receiving string smilax in quantity and has been finding a good market. P. J. Olinger went to Indianapolis on business the early part of last week. E. G. Gillett spent the close of last week in Dayton, O. J. T. Conger has been cutting fine longiflorum lilies at his Hartwell plant. The way between the sidewalk on Third avenue and the Masonic Temple building has been dubbed "the sub- way" by the buyers who use it as a short cut from L. H. Kyrk's to Peter Weiland 's and vice versa. Dan Ruttle, of Latonia, is coming in with some fine phlox. Last week was a busy one for Henry Schwarz in the way of funeral work. Wm. Gardner, P. J. dinger's man- ager at New Castle, was in town last Saturday and Sunday. He reports a splendid crop of Beauties and My Maryland. Brunner, of Price Hill, and Walter Gray, of Hamilton, were both busy the last fortnight with large decorations. Peter Weiland has been cutting heav- ily in carnations for several weeks. Martin Reukauf was in town recently. C. H. H. Oil City, Pa,— W. M. Deyoe & Co., the West Sixth street florists, have opened a retail flower stand near the gates of Grove Hill cemetery. THE SCHEEL ESTABLISHMENT. At Shermerville, 111., F. F. Scheel has this season erected an up-to-date greenhouse establishment from which he is cutting an excellent crop of car- nations. The range consists of three houses, each 28x200, with a propagat- ing house 8y2x200. The Foley flat rafter construction was used, with channel iron gutter. Mr. Scheel ships his product to the Chicago market, where it is handled by Kyle & Foerster. MILWAUKEE. The Market. Business for Memorial day was quite satisfactory and, from reports, far ahead of a year ago. With continued cool weather prevailing up to that day, and with quite a few cut flower growers off crop, the prospects looked rather dubious, but after all it proved that with an even greater demand than looked for, there was enough stock, both cut and pot grown, to supply all demands. The increased supply hung fire the first part of last week and it was not till Friday and Saturday that the wholesalers could say that they were cleaned up. The results of last winter's killing weather are also manifesting themselves as time goes on, for there is no outdoor stock of any kind coming in at this time. While we miss a good many of the perennials, the peonies will be missed most, for they also received more or less of a setback. The cool nights have held back vegetation and it is hard to realize that we are now in the month of June; it seems more like the early part of May. For those who do outdoor planting in the bedding line, work was at its height last week and it goes without saying that it was a continual rush from early to late. And, to make matters worse, funeral work was also pretty lively. Various Notes. The A. F. Kellner Co. says that with their increased force they could not manage to keep everybody good-na- tured. They also report an increased demand for porch boxes, both local and out of town. The Fox Point Floral Co., which had a raft of bedding stock in fine condi- tion, has, with the exception of one or two items, completely cleaned out at this time. The C. C. Pollworth Co. has vacated its old quarters at 454 East Water street, which has been used as a stock department, and moved it to their store across from the city hall. Mrs. Arthur Leidiger, who left for the mud baths at Waukesha, Wis., May 30 to seek relief from rheumatism, is reported as getting along finely. June 3 Mrs. Wm. Edlefsen, accom- panied by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Cath- erine Edlefsen, of Pittsburgh, Pa., for- merly of Milwaukee, left for Lorane, Ore., to spend the summer. It is likely that Mr. and Mrs. W. Edlefsen will call that city their home in the near future. The Holton & Hunkel Co. is receiv- ing a large cut of extra fine White and Pink Killarney and Richmond roses from the Brown Deer plant. Work on the new carnation houses of the Mueller Greenhouse Co., at Brown Deer, is progressing nicely, one house being ready for the glass at this time. With his regular supply of perennials nearly all destroyed by frost last win- ter, W. E. Dallwig says he has had more than enough trouble trying to keep his trade supplied and in good humor. Owing to the late season, business at the G. H. Hunkel seed store is keeping up a lively pace; everybody on the jump from early to late. E. O. CONVENTION AERANGEMENTS. The committees on arrangements for the coming convention of the Society of American Florists, to be held at th(3 Coliseum, August 20 to 23, are quite active and satisfactory progress is being made by all of them. Many high grade entertainment features are under in- vestigation. Letters are already pouring into the local concerns from all sections of the country asking about plans and accom- modations, most of these inquiries com- ing from the south and west and show- ing widespread interest in the approach- ing meeting. Chairman Asmus, of the souvenir al- bum committee, promises the most artistic and valuable souvenir ever is- sued, and says advertisers should get their copy in early to insure good lo- cation. Chairman Winterson, of the sports committee, reports arrangements for the bowling, baseball and shooting well in hand, with many valuable prizes promised. Chairman Rudd, of the badge and ticket committee, has plans well ad- vanced for handling the great crowd expected. Michael Barker, Chairman, Press and Advertising Committee. Westboro, Mass.— William M. Gard- ner, who recently sold his farm and greenhouses on High street to H. B. Perkins, has purchased the Henry Wes- son farm, just over the line in Grafton. 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ JUMB 13, 1912. NEW YORK. The Market. Last week will be long remembered in the New York wholesale cut flower market. Never in its history have simi- lar conditions existed. The enormous receipts, the strike of the waiters in all of the large hotels, and the banishment of the street merchants, all combined to flood the wholesale section with an impossible surplus which left the market completely at the mercy of the buyer, and the average of values can be im- agined. Had it not been for the relief afforded by the department stores, the loss would have been enormous. Even with the relief which buying by the truckload gave, there were thousands of roses, carnations and peonies that could not find sale at any price, and which became an absolute loss. Few of the American Beauty roses are up to the standard and prices have held only for the best of them. The rest have joined the procession of Killarney, Maid, Maryland and Eichmond. Even the novelties have shared in the general recession. The extreme heat of several days last week was evident in the rose arrivals. Melody, Mrs. Ward, Chatenay, Lady Hillingdon and Prince de Bulgarie are used largely in the graduating classes, and prices for these remained steady through the general cataclysm. The hot weather put a great many carnations to sleep. There was sale only for the best and the supply was over- abundant even of these. As for the peo- nies, where they come from in such floods is a problem. Only the best sold at any price. Thousands upon thousands were carted to the river. Even orchids were given away by one of the retailers, one with every 50-cent purchase, so you can imagine the price at which the wholesaler disposed of them. Some fine cattleyas are arriving. There seems to be an encouraging call for gardenias, but the supply is less profuse. Outdoor valley is abundant and cheap, so that only the best of the regular supply seems called for. Gladioli are becoming abundant, and lilies of all kinds are down to rock bottom prices, with a light demand. Sweet peas are unsalable unless long-stemmed and perfect. Club Meeting. A full house and a magnificent dis- play of peonies marked the final meet- ing of the season. George H. Peterson, of Fairlawn, N. J., was present and staged a fine exhibit, which included twenty-eight varieties of peonies. The club awarded a certificate of merit, giv- ing special mention to a half dozen of the best varieties. The thanks of the club rewarded John Lewis Childs for a display which included eight fine vari- eties of peonies, two of iris and four of calla's. Chairman Kessler announced complete arrangements for the club's annual out- ing July 2. Resolutions on the deaths of Mrs. Eccles and Peter McDonald were read and the secretary instructed to send copies to the bereaved families. Chairman Traendly reported for the transportation committee, suggesting the New York Central or Pennsylvania as the most desirable route for the trip to Chicago, giving details as to time and cost. If a company of 100 will signify at an early date an intention to go, a special train will be engaged and the fare reduced to $18. If less than 100 go there will be no special train, and the fare will be $23 and the time over twenty-four hours. Wallace E. Pierson sent a telegram reporting an encouraging response from many florists' clubs, all favoring the publicity enterprise to be submitted to the S. A. F. in August. Al. Eickards made a practical report for the house committee, serving a tur- key lunch with much liquid refreshment. The following were elected to mem- bership: J. H. Eeock, Walter R. Sie- brecht, A. C. Sayler, George C. Sie- brecht, Charles Schmieg and Herman Warendorff. John Laing was proposed. Messrs. Eeed, Sayler, Smead, Artberger, Buckholtz, Vocke and Ed. Manda were introduced and promised loyalty to the club's interests. The president announced as members of the entertainment committee for the National Flower Show in 1913: Messrs. Weathered, Miller, Schultz, Wil- son, Chadwick, Scott, Ebel, Shaw, Schenck and Henshaw. Various Notes. The flower show of the Horticultural Society of New York was held June 8 and 9 at the Museum building, Bronx park, and was well attended. The ex- hibits were much more numerous than anticipated, over 500 vases being used in staging them. G. V. Nash gave an interesting illustrated lecture on orchids. The Sunday attendance was large and the managers were much encouraged by the increasing public interest displayed. G. V. Nash and family will make a trip to Spokane, Wash., shortly, where they have bought a fruit farm. M. A. Bowe sailed for Europe last week on the Lusitania, for a six weeks' stay. The committee of the Florists' Club has completed all arrangements for the annual outing, Tuesday, July 2. Chair- man Phil. Kessler has over $400 pledged for prizes. Tickets are: Double ticket, $6; gentleman's ticket, $4; lady's ticket, $2.50; child's ticket, $1. July 8 the Greek-American Florists' Association will have its annual outing at Wetzel's grove, College Point, L. I. Nicholas Lecakes, J. J. Fellouris and George Cotsonas are on the committee, and they always make of it a great success. June 8 the Astoria bowlers and their ladies celebrated the close of their suc- cessful season with a matinee, a swell dinner, and an evening entertainment at the Winter Garden. The directors of the New York Cut Flower Exchange announce their first annual dinner next week. The price of tickets, $10, speaks for itself. The Wal- dorf-Astoria or the Astor will house these enterprising florists. W. A. Manda is expected home June 13 and the balance of the American florists the following week. Messrs. Patten and Farquhar are already here. Percy Eichter, for many years with Asmus, as manager in the Coogan build- ing, is now associated with Philip Kessler. Messrs. Lustgarten, Sauter and Slinn are the latest arrivals among the whole- salers on the third floor of the Coogan building. A. M. Westwood, formerly with Thor- ley, opened an up-to-date retail store, June 10, in the new Pennsylvania sta- tion at Thirty-third street and Seventh avenue. Frank Duggan, foreman for Eickards Bros., was at Washington June 8 in the front line of the great parade of 100,- 000 Knights of Columbus. L. W. Kervan is enjoying his second week of jury duty. E. W. MacNiff says sales at his auctions have been double the aggregate of 1911. Mr. MacNiff and wife leave in a few days for the mountains. Henry Weston, president of the Grow- ers' Cut Flower Co., has returned from a visit to Atlantic City. Anton Schultheis, of College Point, has reconsidered a former decision and will add 10,000 square feet to his plant this season. The Foley Mfg. Co., Chi- cago, has the contract. Samuel Woodrow, of Woodrow & Mar- ketos, has been out of the city attending to some landscape contracts. Wm. P. Ford is enjoying his summer week ends at his farm in Pennsylvania. The daughter and granddaughter of J. B. Nugent, Jr., left for their Minne- sota home June 8. John Young, secretary of the S. A. F., has moved to pleasant and more com- modious offices, on the first floor front of the building at 54 West Twenty- eighth street. Albert Wadley, of the Bound Brook Nursery Co., has moved to New York, having disposed of his interests there, and is now one of the force of Wadley & Smythe. J. Austin Shaw. OBITUAEY. Jerome B. Bice. Jerome Bonaparte Eice passed quietly to his rest Saturday, June 8. Mr. Rice was born in the town of Salem, N. Y., July 19, 1841, and received his educa- tion in the district schools, and at the Albany Business College, from which he was graduated at the age of 19. When the Civil war broke out he was work- ing on his father's farm in the town of Jackson, Washington county. He en- listed from White Creek, N. Y., August 8, 1862, becoming first sergeant of Com- pany G, 123d New York Volunteer In- fantry. May 21, 1863, he was promoted to second lieutenant. He was taken pris- oner at the battle of Chancellorsville, May 3, 1863, and was confined in Lib- by prison and Belle Isle prison. He was subsequently exchanged. August 1, 1864, he was transferred to the signal corps, and did duty in the depart- ment of the Cumberland under General Thomas until the close of the war. After receiving his discharge he returned home and worked on the seed farm of his father. In 1866 he bought out his father's interest in the seed business, and continued on the farm for two years. During this time and for a few years afterward he was his own sole salesman, traveling with a horse and wagon from town to town. In 1868 he moved his business to Cambridge, occupying the second story of the old steam mill build- ing on Main street, where he conducted business successfully for eleven years. In 1879 Mr. Eice completed his present large warehouse and moved his business into new quarters. In 1895 a fine office building was erected, where twenty-five bookkeepers and stenographers are em- ployed. Over thirty salesmen and repre- sentatives are throughout the country,, and seeds from this establishment are sold in every state in the union. The company has branch houses at Detroit,^ and at Wellington, Ont. In 1898 he waa the unanimous choice of the American JONB 18, 1012. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 17 Seed Trade Association for its presi- dent. He was president and organizer of the Electric City Bank at Niagara Falls, N. Y. During the war Mr. Eice incurred from exposure a severe case of rheuma- tism, which increased as years went by, and for months at a time he was unable to attend to business. The disease con- tinued in spite of all medical skill, and for years he was wheeled about in a chair. This condition renders his great business achievements all the more re- markable, and yet his mental energy never flagged, but indeed developed as the demands upon it increased, so that he continually performed an amount of work that few physically sound men would be equal to. Both socially and in a business way Mr. Eice was a genial, courteous gentle- man, and was universally liked. A caller soon forgot his physical infirm- ities because of his personal magnetism, his mental vigor and hospitable manner. Mr. Eice is survived by his wife, Laura Chandler Eice, whom he married July 19, 1877; three daughters, Mrs. Frederick Wallace, Mrs. Evelyn Eice Lovejoy, Miss Marguerite Hodges Eice, and one son, Jerome B. Eice, Jr., and one granddaughter, Betsy Eice Lovejoy. Mr. Eice was a member of Cambridge Valley Lodge, No. 481, F. & A. M.; also of John McKie Post, No. 309, G. A. E., and was president of the Board of Trus- tees of the Methodist Episcopal church. The funeral was held in Cambridge, Wednesday, June 12, and was largely attended. The interment was at Wood- lawn cemetery. Charles A. Juengel. The sudden death of Charles A. Juengel will be sad news to his many friends in the trade. He died on Mon- day morning, June 10, at 8 o 'clock. The cause was a tumor of the neck. Al- though he had been ill since last Febru- ary, no one thought his sickness would prove fatal. He was one of the oldest florists in St. Louis. He succeeded his father and had lived near the same place of business since he was 10 years of age. He was 57 years old at the time of his death. Mr. Juengel was president of the St. Louis Florists' Club in 1904. He was a charter member of this club and also a charter member of the Society of American Florists and the Florists ' Hail Association. He leaves a widow and five children, who have the sympathy of all in the trade in their hour of sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Wednesday, June 12, from his late residence, 1847 South Fourteenth street, to Concordia cemetery. The members of the St. Louis Florists ' Club attended in a body. J. J. B. George A. Johnston. George A. Johnston, of Pawtucket, E. T., died at the Ehode Island hospital in Providence, Saturday afternoon, Juno 8, of rheumatism, from which he had suffered for several years. He was one of the pioneers of the retail flower trade in the business section of Providence and was among the best known mem- bers of the trade in New England. He was obliged to retire from active busi- ness about six years ago on account of ill health, but during these latter years he had assisted at various times in mak- ing up work for different dealers. The father of George A. Johnston was Cbas. A. Juensel. Eobert, who was one of the earliest greenhouse men in Ehode Island to raise flowers for commercial purposes. He owned a small farm on Swan Point road, now Eochambeau avenue, and Blackstone boulevard, and more than half a century ago began raising a few flowers for sale to persons visiting the Swan Point cemetery. His business grew and as his large family of boys grew older he inducted them into the trade with good success. Thus, father and seven sons have been actively iden- tified with the florists ' business in Prov- idence for nearly three generations. George A. Johnston was born at the family homestead and was early set to light tasks about the greenhouses. With one of his brothers, the late Thomas J. Johnston, he opened the first retail flo- rist shop in the business center of the city, at the corner of Westminster and Clement streets, twenty-nine years ago. After some time their business, which was only maintained during about seven months in the year, was removed to the corner of Westminster and Union streets. Building changes made it nec- essary to move again some time after this and the brothers a little later sepa- rated. Thomas opened the store on Weybosset street, now conducted by T. J. Johnston & Co., Edward Brooke, manager, George setting up for him- self on Union street. Later he entered into partnership with another of his brothers, John J., on Westminster street, which partnership existed until about ten years ago, when George's health obliged him to withdraw. He continued at infrequent intervals for himself in a small way, but finally gave up business activities about six years ago on account of the ravages made in his physique by rheumatism. Mr. Johnston was at one time a mem- ber of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Ehode Island and of the Ehode Island Horticultural Society. He is sur- vived by his wife and one daughter, Miss Marcella Johnston, who lives at home. There are also living his mother and five brothers, Eobert and John, now in the florist business on Dorrance street, Providence; Edward and Charles, at the greenhouses at the homestead, and William, a florist in Pawtucket. W. H. M. Frank Kunz. Frank Kunz, a pioneer florist and nurseryman of Sacramento, Cal., died May 27, at the age of 78 years. His death was due to old age. He had man- aged the Union Nurseries, at 2131 Tenth street, Sacramento, for sixty years. Until a short time ago he was in fairly good health and had continued active in business. He was a native of Ger- many. A widow, two daughters, Emma and Hattie Kunz, and a son, Charles F. Kunz, of Humboldt county, survive him. Waukegan, 111. — Besides his green- houses on Marion street, Theodore Meyer has a branch store at 130 Wash- ington street. The business was founded in 1893, by Mr. Perkins, and was con- ducted by him till 1897, when he was succeeded by Mr. Meyer. 18 The Weekly Florists' Review* June 13, 1912. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW Q. L.

When a florists' club holds a picnic with tickets at $6 a couple one doesn't expect to hear the members attending complain of a dull market. The floods in the south have made trouble, incidentaUy, for florists all over the country. For many weeks shipments of pecky cypress have not moved as they should. There is much difference of opinion as to what is good stock — it frequently depends on whether one is buying or sell- ing— but no plantsman can hope to estab- lish a permanent business unless his stock gives uniformly good satisfaction. "Nothing heats an energetic person in a hurry like indefinite delay." The writer must have been thinking of plant orders. They should either be shipped day of receipt or a card of acknowledg- ment sent, stating when shipment will be made. A MAN who has made a great success in everything he has undertaken defines his method in three words: "Organize, deputize, stipervise. " Think of the con- spicuous successes in our trade and you will find that those three words tell their story. The southwest has had three years of small crops that have made collections slow and business extension difScult in that territory, but now that section has the promise of an abundant harvest that insures a business boom in the early autumn. Contrary to some beliefs, the variety of roses in the cut flower markets is not being widened. Next se&son the Killar- neys will predominate to a greater ex- tent than any other sorts ever have done, in spite of the increase in yellows; other varieties are being dropped to make room for them, and for more KU- larneys. The New Hampshire Agricultural Ex- periment Station has issued a bulletin. No. 159, entitled "Fertilizers for Carna- tions." It is from the pen of David Lumsden. In his introduction he says: ' ' Upwards of 10,000,000 carnation plants are annually grown, and upwards of 120,- 000,000 carnation blooms are cut and sold in the various markets in the United States and Canada. The flowers are es- timated as selling at $4 per hundred, or $4,800,000 for the annual output." Re- tail prices undoubtedly are meant. ANOTHEB SWINDLER. A fake subscription agent is operat- ing in Massachusetts, being last heard from in the vicinity of Boston. He sometimes signs the name of M. B. Thomas, on stationery purporting to be that of the Grumiaux Subscription Agency, of Le Roy, N. Y. There is such an agency as the Grumiaux concern, but it repudiates Thomas, alias M. B. Cooke. Fortunately, few florists can be caught by such a petty swindle. The Eeview has repeatedly published warnings not to pay money to strangers for The Review's account, so the only ones who can be caught are the few who are non- subscribers. Tell your friends. In every instance where a florist has reported being victimized by this sub- scription swindler, the swindler has of- fered to send a design book, a knife, or some other article of merchandise, free as a premium. The Review never gives premiums to induce people to subscribe. Any such offer is, on its face, a fraud. The Review representatives are all well known in their respective terri- tories. Don't pay money to people you don't know. WHY EEVIEW ADS PAT. Quality circulation — the kind that is bought and paid for at a fair price — that gives full value to the subscriber for the price paid — is what the adver- tiser is looking for — that is the kind that keeps him at it because it pays — Frank B. White. The Review carries so large a volume of advertising, and 'such diversified ad- vertising, because it has quality circu- lation, as well as quantity — the trade buys the paper for the paper — no pre- miums, no schemes, no traveling solicit- ors. I am well pleased with The Review and think it Is worth more than it costs, so here Is my dollar for another year. — F. B. Eaton, Mlddle- boro, Mass., June 3, 1912. I find The Review one of the best accessories to my ofllce, so enclose the dollar for another year. — Alfred Pearce, Rahway, N. J., June 6, 1012. Here Is the dollar for another year's subscrip- tion to your valuable paper. We enjoy It very much and find many Items that are of value to us. — Geo. W. Coburn & Son, Nashua, N. H., June 7, 1912. We have received a sufficient number of orders to exhaust many of our varieties. — Edward A. Stroud, Overbrook, Pa., June 6, 1912. Kindly discontinue my ad, as we are sold out; It brought several nice orders and we are well satisfied. — Alfred Engelmann, Marysville, Mo., June 3, 1912. CHICAGK). The Great Central Market. Save for one or two quiet days, last week proved to be somewhat better than the corresponding week of a year ago, and, with moderate June weather in place of the extremely hot spell that ushered in the month last year, the local market still is in fairly good condition, even though business is not exceeding the speed limit. May was far ahead of last year and, if the present conditions prevail until July 1, another month should be added to the improvement side of the ledger. Stock is not any too good and, while it is probably holding up as well as could be expected, the market is not oversupplied with high grade flowers, unless it is in peonies. These are in the height of their season and appear to have the run of the market. The local cut, heavier than ever before, has been on for a week and, with the stor- age houses still well supplied with those left over from earlier fields, the market is unusually well stocked. Killarney, White Killarney and Rich- mond have suffered a decline in grade following the recent hot days. While there are plenty on the market of indif- ferent quality, there also are more of June 13, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 19 FANCY CATTLEYAS, $25.00 per 100 OUR FAMOUS SUMMER CROP OF KILLARNEYS SPECIALLY STRONG ON THE LONBER ORADES The buyers who want the best Killarney and White Killarney will welcome the announcement that our annual eummer cut is on. These roses are famous; none finer anywhere; few so good. You can get all lengths in quantity. All are excellent, but it is well to remember that the longer the stem the better the flower.

Mrs. Taft, My Maryland, Mrs. Aaron Ward and Bride seem to be in fair condition but not in oversupply. Beauties have been arriving a little faster than in preceding weeks and, as a whole, appear to be in rather better condition than usual at this season of the year. Carnations, on the other hand, have felt the heat and good, solid flowers for shipping, or even the kind desired for local trade, are hard to find, and for a time they have given way to the peonies. No color is in special de- mand or in notably good condition. With the June weddings in full blast, the demand for valley has been heavy throughout the week. Good stock was to be had, but is not overplentiful, as the orders, both shipping and local, were equal to the supply. Sweet peas have continued to hold their own, and even with the quality on the long-stemmed ones below that of two weeks ago they are being moved along in good shape. Orchids have been pushed by the local retailers, who, taking advantage of the oversupply and low prices, have made it a point to offer bouquets of cattleyas and greens, and it is doubtful if so many corsages of orchids have been seen for a long while. The supply con- tinues large and for a time there will be plenty to meet the extra demand. Such, items as gladioli, feverfew, snap- dragon, daisies, mignonette and callas have been slow sale. Poet's narcissus is about the only bulbous flower now offered, but it has met little demand. Easter lilies are in large supply at one or two places, large shipments coming from outside points. The most sudden drop of the week was noted in ferns, the new crop of fancy ferns having taken possession of the market. The new crop of Mexican ivy also is in. Other greens have held up in good shape, and smilax, asparagus strings and adiantum found a good market.

At the meeting of the Chicago Flo- rists' Club June 6 it was decided to hold meetings twice a month from now until convention time. The executive committee in charge of convention af- fairs is holding weekly meetings, on Monday nights, and the various special committees, although the membership has not been fully made up, are holding frequent meetings, so that the rooms at Every Florist should be using our stunning little Wedding booklet, " Flowers for the Bride." Yet that is impossible, because we sell the exclusive rights to only one Florist in a city. The more progre-sive Florists are now sending in their orders. This booklet is being used now to get the Wedding business of next fall. There are Weddings every day in the year. You want more Wedding business. Use this booklet. Write us today.

Johnson now estimates the sea- son 's cut of peonies, by the Batavia Greenhouse Co., as 200,000 blooms, two- thirds of which are expected to go into cold storage. All hands have been working night and day for nearly a fortnight. Miss L. A. Tonner, of the A. L. Ean- dall Co., is just back from a week's trip to southern Georgia, where she has invested in pecan lands. G. Eeburn, of A. Henderson & Co., has returned from a trip east on which he combined business and pleasure. Klehm 's Nurseries have practically completed the peony cut. Peterson's Nursery began June 10. Last week and this week peonies have come into the market heavier than ever before. Great quantities are going into storage. It is thought that by the end of this week the freezer will contain more peonies than at any other one time in the his- tory of the peony in this market.

E. E. Pieser and August Jurgens made a trip to Joliet last week to inspect the peonies of the Chicago Carnation Co. The wedding of Edward Schultz and Miss Marie Schmidt took place June 8. Mr. Schultz has charge of the carnation department for the E. C. Amling Co. and the young couple received a purse of gold from his fellow employees. Hunt Bros., of Park Eidge, are cut- ting nice salpiglossis, a novelty in this market at all times and especially so at this date. One by one the tenants are relinquish- ing to Marshall Field & Co. the stores and offices in the building in which Lub- liner & Trinz have their store, but the florists have a lease that runs till 1915 and will hold on until they see that they can better themselves by moving. A. E. Hunt & Co., Evanston, who were frozen up solidly last winter, have again begun to get some returns, having a fair cut in early prospect. The Horticultural Society of Chicago has issued a preliminary list of pre- miums for plants for the show to be held at the Art Institute April 1 to 15, 1913. It carries $1,700. Copies may be had by addressing C. W. Deusner, 1101 Buena avenue. E, E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., who recently bought all the peony plants in the 6-acre field of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, has reconsidered his plan to sell this fall all the stock except the Eichardson's Eubra Superba. He will remove the plants, divide and grow on, at Villa Eidge or a northern farm, at least for another year. Frank Beu expects a contractor to begin work within a few days on a store and flat building at 4435 North Fortieth avenue. The store and one of the apart- ments will be used by the florist, while the (Jther apartments are expected to bring an income that will pay the inter- est on the investment. According to the records made public last week, Albert F. Amling is the only florist holding stock in any national bank in Chicago. He has twenty-five shares in the biggest bank, the Conti- nental and Commercial. In the state banks in Chicago several in the trade are interested. W. A.

A refrigerating ma- chine will be used in connection with a new storage room, which is to be 20x60 feet, and the cooler now in use on the main market floor. William Mailander has been awarded the contract to erect the five new green- houses, each 34x599, which Bassett & Washburn are building at Gregg's Sta- tion.

Far too many flowers are arriving for the demand, and prices, which a week ago were holding fairly well, are now on the down grade. Peonies are now almost at their height and add to the weight of unsalable goods. For first- class white and pink peonies there is a good call. Of other colors few are wanted. The quality is splendid, thanks to the long continued spell of cool weather and abundant moisture. Car- nations are away down in price; 50 cents per hundred is an average price, and $1 buys fine flowers. Quite a few of inferior quality are seen. Roses are abundant and hard to move. Mrs. Aaron "Ward, Killarney and Hillingdon sell well. Sweet peas of the Spencer type are in demand. The outdoor crop will make its appearance this week and it has never been finer. Marguerites of good quality continue to sell well. Mrs. F. Sander is particu- larly fine. Gladioli, both large and small-flowered, are overabundant; so is Spanish iris, which latter will also be available from outdoors this week. The demand for antirrhinum is poor, only one or+wo special shades being wanted. "Valley for weddings has sold well. Or- chids are druggy. Callas and lilies are each away down in price. For miscel- laneous flowers there is little demand. Adiantum and asparagus are each of poor quality and there is not much call for them. Exhibition.

Gardening is a Pleasure When You Use SODITO-RID It is an effective remedy for repelling mosquitoes in the gardens or in the house. If applied to the hands and face out- doors or to the handkerchief around the neck it will keep the mosquitoes away from you. The same method is effective indoors, or a few drops sprayed about the room will drive the mosquitoes out. Sqvito-rid has been tested and is en- dorsed by Government and State experts.

A reduced supply of first-class flow- ers, with about enough business to con- sume them; an immense quantity of low grade stock that is far in excess of the demand. These are the market condi- tions today. Beauties, valley, orchids, sweet peas and some Richmond, Mary- land and Killarney are fine and are most sought. Easter lilies are also excellent, but they are overabuDdant. There are few really fine carnations. The number of poor sweet peas and small, short- stemmed roses is large. There are cold storage peonies and a few late outdoor blooms. Gladioli are still about. The cool, bracing weather that prevailed for some days has improved the quality of many of the flowers. The Club Outing. Thursday afternoon, June 6, was one of the most delightful the members of the Florists ' Club and their friends have ever enjoyed. About 150 men and a dozen ladies gathered on the steamer that took them up the Delaware to Cramp 's shipyard, thence down the river to Washington park. The rain ceased just as the party landed. Everyone entered into the spirit of the games. All the ladies entered the potato race with hearty good will. The genial Rob- ert Shoch won the fat men 's race. His entry for the event was accepted on the strength of the eight pounds he has gained this spring. The tug of war, with ten men on a side, was a titanic affair. It developed into a sort of east versus west, with Leo Niessen and John Berger on one side and Charles E. Meehan and Samuel F. Lilley on the other. There were two ball games of five innings each, with the Michell team as heroes in both. The first game re- sulted: Michell, 2; W. H. Maule, 0.

Pennock- Meehan Co., Philadelphia, Pa., was a visitor here last week. C. L. L. BOCHESTEB. The Market. The peony was queen of the market last week. All colors of this flower were here in great abundance. Business has been rather dull, and not only peonies are beginning to accumulate, but roses, carnations, sweet peas and garden flow- ers are finding their way into the refuse barrels. To be sure, June, the month of weddings, is here, and the first week brought several wedding decorations, both large and small, but they were handled with ease. Irises are abundant, but are not sell- ing well and are not keeping as well this year as they did last season. All the outdoor flowers seem to be more perish- able this year, perhaps on account of the cool, damp spring and early sum- mer. Roses are as thick as bees and al- most as troublesome to get rid of, since they are coming into the market in such great quantities, and one hates to throw out perfectly good roses without realizing anything on them. Needless to say, the price is away down. Car- nations, too, are overabundant. The quality, however, holds up wonderfully well for so late in the season. Sweet peas are plentiful and good. They bring a fair price and are in great demand. Calla lilies and Harrisii lilies are quite scarce. Gardenias, orchids and valley are in fine condition and are much used for corsages and bouquets. Garden flowers are much sought for, and snapdragons, centaureas, candytuft, forget-me-notB, iris, marguerites, day lilies and saxifrage make charming com- binations for centerpieces and gift bas- Huckleberry Branches Smilax season being over, we offer the trade the bost-known substltut*.

Reforesting plans at Hemlock and Canadice lakes received quite a setback some time ago, when it was found that some strange disease was attacking part of a planting of 20,000 pines which had been set out about three years ago. These trees were brought from Germany and the disease confined its attacks to that one variety of tree. But one of the peculiar features of the' disease was that it would attack currant and goose- berry bushes in the neighborhood of an infected tree. The State Department of Agriculture was appealed to and all last week one of its experts was on the scene. The result of his investigation was the uprooting of all currant and gooseberry bushes and the diseased trees. The uprooted trees and the bushes were burned, and close watch will be kept for any further outbreak of the evil. A. N.

Though not as fancy as they should be, they sold fairly well, as the retailers were quite busy with wedding and school work. Sweet peas have slackened up greatly and only a few are coming in at any of the markets. The glut at present is on gladioli, but tliey seem to be eon- fined to one wholesale house. The va- rieties coming in are America, Bride, Francis King and May. The price is down to $5 per hundred on all except America, which still brings $10. Can- didum and Easter lilies, too, can be counted in the glut. Long, fancy Beau- ties are scarce and there is a consider- able demand for them. Field daisies are coming in heavily, as well as a lot of other outdoor stock. Asters sell well; these, too, are confined to one house, with the prices from $1 to $3 per hun- dred. In greens, the market is in good condition. Various Notes. F. .T. Farney, representing M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia, was a caller last week. He reports a busy trip. Otto Sander was obliged to vacate his store on Wednesday, June 12. At last report, he had not yet found a suitable location to move to.

Mrs. Louisa Krite, a florist of North St. Louis, is visiting friends in Louis- ville, Ky. She expects to make a week 's stay. J. Leykan, a landscape gardener at Kirkwood, received many congratula- tions from friends who called at his home on hearing that a $300,000 bequest had been left him in Germany. What worries Mr. Leykan is that he knows nothing of it, but he hopes it is true. A. S. Halstead, president of the St. Clair Floral Co., Belleville, 111., called last week. He says his long absence from the city was due to the fact that he was too busy this spring at the store and had to install an automobile deliv- ery to keep abreast of the orders for bedding plants. On Monday evening, June 17, an im- portant meeting of the Eetail Florists' Association will be held in the Knights of Columbus hall, Grand and Olive streets. The meeting will be called at 8 p. m. President Sanders says that, in- asmuch as the association held no meet- ing last month, this meeting should bring out a large attendance. J. J. B. KANSAS CITT, MO. The Market. The market here is quite satisfactory. Carnations are plentiful and the prices range from 1 cent to 3 cents for good stock. The ordinary quality is poor and the average stock is soft and sun-kissed, but the few of good quality were sold at good prices. While red ones were abundant, they sold quickly, owing to the fact that most of the school gradu- ating colors are red. White and pink roses were more than abundant, but sold at from 2 cents to 6 cents. White roses were used exten- sively in all kinds of work. There were some fine Killarney on the market, but they moved slowly, many florists being afraid to chance this color, as red and white were most in demand.

As our schools had adopted this flower and color at the last hour, the local mer- chants were caught unprepared. Beau- ties were fair, both in quality and quan- tity, and found plenty of buyers, many florists using them instead of Eichmond. Gladioli made their appearance and made a fine showing. Buyers seemed glad to see them again and bought read- ily, paying 10 cents for good stock. Eeference must be made to the Francis King variety; they were without doubt par excellence. Valley and sweet peas were plentiful, but, as weddings are nu- merous, they sold quickly. On the whole, everyone is more than pleased with the week's business. Though it is late to speak of Decora- tion day business, local florists want special mention of the fact that this year was the "best ever." Plants be- came so scarce that good ones were hardly to be seen or had at any price. The same can be said of cut flowers, with the exception of peonies. Various Notes. June gives promise of being really the month of weddings. Among the many big wedding decorations, one of the biggest and best was by the W. L. Eock Flower Co. Charles Heite, of this firm, has gone to Pleasant Hill, Mo., to spend some time in fishing, and W. L. Eock has gone to Lake View, Kan., with the same sport in mind.

JOHN BREITMEYER'S SONS Corner Broadway and Qratlot Ave., DETROIT, MICH. Supplies are moving with exceptional rapidity. The Alpha Floral Co. has installed a modern refrigerator, nine and one-half feet high, eighteen feet long and five and one-half feet deep. While the cost was $500, they feel that the advantages secured are well worth the outlay. On the property of Mr. Elberfield, of this company, at 912 East Tenth street, in the rear of the $30,000 Elberfield apart- ments, the firm has just completed a modern garage and greenhouse, 23x80 feet. The firm recently had Mr. Big- gam's present greenhouses, but it was decided that a larger and more con- veniently located place was needed. Mr. Bastian has been placed in charge and has proved himself a master of this department of the business. I regret to say that Mr. Atkins, the designer for this firm, is in danger of losing his eye- sight. Samuel Murray has, at the present writing, one of the finest window dis- plays ever seen in our city. About 125 choice cattleyas and dendrobiums are shown in it. An old tree, covered with moss, forms the center of interest, with a background of cibotiums and a base line of finely colored pineapple plants. A few caladiums are intermingled to good advantage. Some fine My Mary- land and Mrs. Taft roses were on dis- play at this store. E. H. Frandsen, of Independence, Mo., feels happy over the recent business activity, which finds him with little stock left. He is cutting some of the finest Francis King gladioli ever grown. Our new florist, Patrick Larkin, re- ports business greater than expected. Although new to our profession, he is already giving proof of his fitness for the business. Loss from hail is reported by W. H. Sawvel and Chas. E. Heite. Visitors were: Samuel Seligman, of Sprinkleproof fame; Arthur Turkman, of M. Eice & Co.; Martin Beukauf, of Bayersdorfer & Co.; E. C. Pruner, of E. H.

For the last two weeks our florists, especially the retailers, were kept busy principally with funeral work and some weddings. The present supply of cut flowers is meager, consisting chiefly of gardenias, gladioli, candytuft, phlox, roses, etc. Lilies and sweet peas have finished blooming and asters are not yet in with most of the growers. Decoration day was observed by the local post of the G. A. E. and the supply of different designs, wreaths and loose flowers was as large as in former years. Pot plants, especially bedding stock, are moving slowly, mostly on account of the continued inclemency of the weather. The demand for planted hanging bas- kets and window boxes has increased of late, but there is still a great field to be covered in that line for an enter- prising, energetic florist, inasmuch as these attractive ornaments are in full growth here nearly all the year around.

Wash.— Scott Bros., of the Roselawn Greenhouses here, have torn down the houses preparatory to remov- ing them to Moscow, Idaho, to be con- solidated with the Eoselawn Green- houses recently erected at that place. The Dalles, Ore. — The Jewell Green- house Co. has found it necessary to add another house and the work of erectingt it is now well advanced. It will be used for chrysanthemums. An extra house for the growing of carnations and violets was completed last fall. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business along all lines in the flo- rists' trade has been pretty good for some time, and though a lull may be expected now that so many outside flowers are blooming, the season so far has been fully up to the expectations of most in the trade. Good outside roses are now arriving in abundance. Brunners and Testouts, as usual, are extra fine. Carnations, which were scarce for the large Memorial day busi- ness, are now plentiful. The prices of these are keeping up, but a drop may be expected any time now. Sweet peas are in fine condition, but the price dropped from $4 per thousand last week to $2 this week. Peonies are plentiful and good, but the prices for the later blooms are hardly commen- surate with the prices that prevailed for the early ones. Spanish iris is plentiful. Geraniums and other bedding plants have had a good clean-up this year. In fact, good geraniums lately could hardly be procured. Single scarlet and salmon are almost the only sorts sal- able in this market. Various Notes. The Art Flower Store closed its doors last week, business in its location, on the Marion street viaduct, not being sufficient to justify the store's con- tinuance. Miss Wagner is doing good business at her new store, The Crescent, on Pike street. The Paris Florists, on Pike street, have now one of the most artistic stores in the northwest and are doing good business. The Burns Floral Co. is getting its full share of the funeral work and is doing a large cut flower business. Bosaia Bros, are keeping up their trade and say traflSc increases on Third avenue along with their business. A. E. Buxton is cutting a great quan- tity of fine carnations at present. Frank Bell has most of his young stock of carnations in the benches and he figures on having all of them in by June 15. It is the consensus of opinion that early planted carnations are best in this locality. H. B. Slauson having been successful in growing roses this spring, a number of other growers have made up their minds to try it. Hitherto the opinion has prevailed that the little sunshine we get here in the winter will not make good roses, and the men from Missouri are plentiful in our midst. Cucumbers are keeping up in price fairly well and many growers are reap- ing the benefit. They can stand it well enough after last winter's prices. T. W. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. With the beginning of June a much better tone was noted in the trade, and, while stock is even yet overplentiful, there is nothing like the glut that ex- isted a week or two ago. Carnations continue to arrive in immense numbers in all the popular colors. Sweet peas are not as plentiful, but better in qual- ity, the result of spring sowing. Owing to the demand for good funeral work. clear lavender peas have cleaned u]) well and there are occasional shortages. Outdoor roses still come in, but the quality is gone for the season and they are not good enough for anything but the cheaper work. Cecil Brunner still arrives in good shape, but the flowers are smaller than formerly. Gladioli arc at their brightest and best now, some grand spikes in all the leading varieties being shown. Perhaps the finest, out- side of the ever popular America, is Mrs. Francis King. A few of the ruflled whites are in and these please by their novelty. The yellow grounds are better this year than they have ever been before. Of the smaller flow- ers there is a good supply, and Shasta daisies were never better. The indoor roses keep up their qual- ity fairly well, though they are thin compared with a few weeks ago. The LOS ANGELES FLOWER NAItm CHA8. E. MoBTON. Mgi. 414>i S. Broadway, Loa Ang^eleSt Cal.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 45 The regular meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society was held on the evening of May 29. Hugh Dickson, accompanied by W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, was in town last week. They expected to visit the seed growing districts within a few days. G. ADIANTUM FOR OUTTINa. [Ooncladed from pace 12.1 In a week or two after germination the tiny fronds appear and, with ordi- nary care, the young plants are now safe. It is a remarkable fact in con- nection with raising seedling ferns, that in almost every instance other species than that sown are sure to crop up in larger or smaller quantities. A frequent "rogue" in batches of seed- lings is the well known Pteris tremula, and there are several gymnogrammes that almost always turn up. But it is impossible to detect them in the earli- est stages, so the adiantum grower pots all up, and later, when the species can be determined, he throws away the rogues or uses them for other purposes. The small stock should be lifted in patches about as big as a quarter, and either potted separately or pricked off into other flats, to be potted later. Keep up a shady, moist atmosphere and avoid overwatering the soil — that is the best rule to follow in growing the young stock on. Bepotting or Benching. When the 2-inch sized pot has been reached and is well filled with roots, the plants are fit to be potted into 5-inch for pot culture, or to be planted in benches. A good rule is never to repot or plant out a maidenhair fern while it is at rest. If stock has been selected for either purpose, let the young fronds push up a couple of inches. Then the roots will also be active and the plants will not be checked, but will come away freely from the start. Where the demand for the cut fronds is more or less constant, the usual cus- tom is to go over the plants and re- move the best fronds as they mature, but where it can be arranged it is a better plan, culturally, to cut over a plant entirely and select the fronds, grading them into the various sizes or qualities. Always cut one day for ship- ping the next day, and wrap the fronds in wet paper, standing the stems in water in a cool cellar or cut flower room. NAME OF FERN. We are enclosing samples of a pecu- liar fern, of which we should like to know the name. It is found in only one place in this section of Oregon. It grows about six feet high. The pieces enclosed are numbered 1, 2 and 3. No. 1 is the tip; No. 2 grows on the side, halfway down, and No. 3 near the bot- tom of the main stalk. M. & F. The fern in question is a woodwardia, probably the form of Woodwardia rad- icans that is found in parts of Cali- fornia and Mexico. W. H. T. Westerville, C— J. F. Sked, florist, is a member of the Westerville Board of Trade. Nashua, N. H.— Geo. W. Coburn & Son note a steady increase in their plant trade, the present season having been especially good.

Forbes, Plymouth, Ind., says the season has been a record breaker for him, on garden seeds, corn, field seeds and seed potatoes, but also on vegetable plants. It looks now as though the Republican national convention at Chicago may hold over into the week set for the Seed Trade convention, in which event almost anything is likely to happen. A.

W. Ratekin, Shenandoah, la., plans to be in California during the week of the Seed Trade convention. He has just bought another farm near Shenandoah, the second purchased this spring, paying $300 per acre.

Mann and M. B. Bowe. W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, and Hugh Dickson, of Belfast, Ireland, are visiting the California seed growing districts. June 1 they motored from San Francisco to Santa Cruz with Lester L. Morse, of C. C. Morse & Co., in the lat- ter's car. Condon Bros., the seedsmen at Rock- ford, 111., are building a brick warehouse at 634 to 636 Cedar street, near the C. & N. W. tracks. The structure will cover a space 40x85 feet and will consist of three stories and a basement. The firm has a retail store at 413 West State street, where the business was founded about a year ago. The prospect is that the approaching convention of the American Seed Trade Association will be one of the most largely attended in the history of the organization. While no vital problems are pressing upon the trade, there is Chioago's recognized standing as a sum- mer resort and its central location to at- tract many who have not been present at meetings in the east. It was a little over a year ago that The Review pointed out that the dis- claimer must be moved just below the date line on letter-heads to be of effect under long overlooked court decisions.

Reports from Holland are to the effect that the prospect is for a good crop of bulbs, except in a few instances vrhere damage was caused by hail. The Hol- landers are figuring on better prices for bulbs. It is stated the prices for daffo- dils after harvest surely will be higher than last year. Hyacinths, too, are ex- pected to advance. They have what they call the green auctions over there, at which this year's prices on hyacinths were better than last year.

The Northern Seed Co. baa been in- corporated at Cass Lake, Minn., with a capital of $50,000. The incorporators are N. E. Jondahl, A. J. Hole, Chris Burns, Henry Mullen, P. M. Larson, A. J. Swanberg, L. B'. Galbraith, M. J. Sit- zer and W. E. La Fountain, all of Cass Lake. The corporation is formed for the purpose of raising and improving live stock, produce and seeds, and for can- ning fruits and vegetables. HoYT Hen SHAW, of West Falls, N. Y., is a young seedsman, doing largely a local market gardeners' trade. He says that his heaviest items this year have been peas and cauliflower. On the latter he was especially fortunate, though the sea- son began with a misfortune. A first shipment of cauliflower from Denmark went astray and two duplicate shipments were ordered. The demand proved BO large that had not the delayed shipment finally arrived it would have been impos- sible to have filled anywhere near all the orders. MB. NOBTHBUF BETIBES. Jesse E. Northrup, president of North- rup, King & Co., Minneapolis, and an ex-president of the American Seed Trade Association, has sold a large portion of his holdings in the corporation to C. C. Massie, secretary and general manager, and other heads of departments, who for many years have been connected with the business. With the transfer Mr. Northrup gives up active manage- ment and Mr. Massie will assume charge. Mr. Northrup will remain president of the company, and Freston King, active with Mr. Northrup in establishing the business, will continue as treasurer. The sale marks the taking up of respon- sibility by younger men. HI health, which compels relief from business bur- dens, is the cause of the chaijge. The business was started in 1884, oc- cupying at that time the ground floor and basement of a small buildigv^ear the old Suspension bridge, bridge square was then the principal retail district of the city. The corporation now occupies a five-story building at Hennepin avenue and First street, with 75,000 square feet of floor space, and has three other large warehouses, and in addition uses large outside storage space. Mr. Massie has been identifled with the company for twenty years, and others for periods from ten to fifteen years each. GRASS SEED MEN PROTEST. The dealers in grass seeds are up in arms against the bill now before the United States Senate entitled "An Act to regulate foreign commerce by pro- hibiting the admission into the United States of certain adulterated grain and seeds unfit for seeding purposes. ' ' While the grass seed interests signified their willingness to have such a law enacted, the bill has been completely changed in character since its passage by the House. The Senate Committee on Ag- riculture has not only raised the stand- ards of purity to a hair-splitting point, but, what particularly excites the seeds- men, it provides a prison penalty for violations, without even requiring that the prosecution prove willful intent — the error of an employee would be as bad.

Dayton, president of the American Association of Nursery- men, delivered at the thirty-seventh annual con- vention of the association, at Boston, June 12 to 14, 1912.] When his satanic majesty climbed the tree to pluck the golden fruit, with which to dazzle and debase the first nursery firm, he certainly grafted, or cross fertilized, or pedigreed, or bud- variated to such good purpose that the honest stock, taking into consideration our risks and sur- plus, and then adhere to our prices. ^^ hat other business issues expensive price lists and then proceeds to cut rates to every inquirer? Why should we have any standing among the busi- ness men in the country, when not only the large buyer, but practically every small buyer of any experience, has foiind that by sending out a few in- quiries he can get prices below printed rates? It is time we realized that the nurs- eryman is no exception to the rule that "man cannot live to himself," that bad business practice on the part of one injures all. As a body we should place our condemnation on any prac- tice that tends to bring discredit, any departure from honest business deal- ings, any dishonest method of adver- tising, in press or catalogue. In fact, show the millions of honest consumers Every Retailer Needs This Book. It is the Album of Designs To be used in taking orders for Fu- neral Desigrns, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Commencement Flow- ers, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it is not practica- ble to show the customer the finished article as it will be when ready for use.

Mention The Review when you write. that we are trying to eliminate from our own ranks, by all means in our power, everyone who is not trying to give a square deal. Surplus Stock. It is time we learned that when we have produced a surplus, as we will on some items every year, the place for it is the brush pile, and that we Should not aid by cut prices, surplus lists, etc., in demoralizing our market, not only for that season, but for years to come. It is time for us to reorganize our credit departments, and not take chances on doubtful accounts because it is the rush season and we have no time to look the customers up, or be- cause we have the stock and may not have another chance to sell it. Why recapitulate the breed of snakes? We all know them, we lament their presence every year, and every time a few of us happen to meet we know the deadliness of their poison fangs and we really think we could eliminate them from our business, if the other fellow would from his. Is it not time to have earnest, whole- souled, enthusiastic cooperation, with faith in one another and in our officers and committees, and to back them and each other up in all efforts to eliminate the bad, to elevate the good, to intro- duce new and better methods, to pre- sent a solid front against all threaten- ing ills, and for all that tends to im- prove? Time of Meeting. As to the time of meeting, this peren- nial question needs settling. I think every nurseryman of the north and east has realized more than ever this last season that the second week in June is too early for our meeting. At last year's convention you instructed your president to appoint a special com- mittee to consider the matter, in co- operation with the state vice-presidents, and report at this meeting. I regret to have to state that, among my other shortcomings, these instructions were overlooked and no committee has been appointed. I recommend the appoint- ment of such a committee, and the elec- tion of a president who will attend to business. The reports of officers and commit- tees will inform us as to the standing of matters which they have in charge. My sincere thanks are due the chair- man and members of the different com- mittees, who have accomplished a great deal of efficient work. The chairman (Oontlnned on page 80.)

The weather is exceedingly cold for this time of the year and from some of the outlying districts reports came that some of the tender crops had been ruined. The temperature went down to 30 degrees on the morning of June 7, so quite a little damage was done to the tender bedding plants. But the cold weather seems to have made business brisk, as everybody cleaned up well. Koses aiid carnations are none too plen- tiful, but they are of good quality. There is only a fair demand for peonies, but sweet peas sell on sight. Green is in great, demand, especially plumosus. Various Notes. John E. Coombs has moved into his new store on Main street. He has had a new McCray refrigerator installed, with a capacity of 2,000 pounds of ice. A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, is cutting some fine valley, which is meet- ing with a ready market. This company is tearing down some of its old green- houses, and putting larger ones in their place. One house, 80x800, in course of construction, collapsed June 9, about 400 feet of the iron work being up at the time. Joseph Heacock and son, of Wyncote, Pa., were recent visitors. W. S. C. HAIL AT JUNCTION CITY, KAN. About two o'clock in the morning of June 5 hail destroyed practically every pane of glass in the greenhouses of the .Tunction City Floral Co. and of E. F. Walter & Son. The greenhouses of W. P. Kansom did not suffer to the extent of the others, his loss being about a third, perhaps, of his glass. In the for- mer two establishments there were less than fifty lights undamaged. While the Floral Co. lost some stock, Walter & Son were the heaviest losers in this respect, as most of their indoor tomatoes and cucumbers will be a total loss owing to bruising from falling glass. Outdoor stock suffered greatly, also. The florists will take advantage of the disaster by giving their houses sev- eral coats of paint. This is the first disastrous hail storm in the last fifteen years. All three florists carried hail in- surance on their glass. Thomas H. Keeshan.

Pittsburgh is doing right well, thank you; about the usual amount of cut flower trade in the retail shops, but they have been so busy with plants that they did not notice the comparative dullness in the cut flower end of it. The wholesale houses had the time of their lives last week selecting the best of their stock for their trade and canning the balance, and at that will probably make fair reports to their growers — at least better than some other years we have seen. Stock has held up well through the hot spell and some good roses and carna- tions are coming in, but the June wed- dings and commencement exercises will take care of them pretty well. Plantsmen are still busy and find it difficult to get labor. One grower made the remark that "it hurts to have to pay laborers more than the gardeners usually get, but I had to do it to get my planting done." Various Notes. Rain is badly needed, as the carnation plants in the field are beginning to suffer. Married, Wednesday, June 12, at 6 p. m., Eay T.

A fair-sized crowd was present. "Peo- nies" was the subject of the evening and the Elliott Nurseries, of Springdale, Pa., showed the finest line from their immense collection ever exhibited be- fore this club, for which they were awarded a first-class certificate. Randolph & McClements showed plants of the small yellow calceolaria which they grow for cut flowers; where yellow is wanted it is fine. Neil Mc- Callum had a collection of cut shrubbery and herbaceous flowers which were in- teresting, especially with Mr. McCallum to talk about them. Several new members were added and it was decided not to hold a picnic this year. Mrs. E. A. Williams has arranged to go to her cottage at Geneva for the summer. She will leave as soon as she disposes of a few more wedding orders which she has on hand. Earl Tipton, with the A. W. Smith Co., has been off duty suffering from blood poison caused by rose thorns.

Reports from all sides indicate that the heaviest Memorial day business was done here this year. Potted plants and made-up bouquets, as well as wreaths and crosses of magnolia and galax leaves with artificial flowers, were almost at a premium at the last. Cut flowers were also much sought after and prices ruled fully a half more than the normal scale. Carnations were especially short and were quoted at wholesale at from 6 tolO cents each. In potted plants, geraniums, spirsBa and hydrangeas were in most demand. Various Notes. The King Construction Co. is putting up an iron frame house, 54x300, for J. T. Peck & Sons Co., of Seekonk, Mass. The passage will be 11x20 and will be used for propagating purposes. There will also be an iron frame boiler house, 35x40 feet, with all the modern improvements, with a 100 horse-power boiler. All the florists in this vicinity are ex- ceedingly busy on outdoor work. There is a greater demand for landscape gar- dening here than ever before. City Forester Alexander H. Johnson has just completed setting out more than 1,900 sturdy young Norway maples to replace those set out last year, but which failed to thrive. Edward B. Hopkins, with W. S. Pino, is suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism, which confines him to his home. The first list of corporations in this state which are liable to taxation on their corporate excess has just been made public. Among those who have thus been assessed are the following: W. E. Barrett & Co., excess $69,751.82, tax $279, and S. J. Reuter & Son; Inc., excess $43,613.79, tax $174.45.

JUNB 13, 1012. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Trade has been brisk all the last week. There have been a number of large wedding decorations, also several commencements, which called for quan- tities of flowers. Roses and carnations are both showing the effects of the hot weather. Peonies, coreopsis, outdoor daisies and sweet peas are obtainable in almost any quantity. The bedding busi- ness has dropped off with a dull thud since Decoration day. Various Notes. Herman Junge has handed in his res- ignation as secretary of the State Flo- rists' Association. Too much business at the commission house is Mr. Junge 's excuse. Geo. Wiegand and Jay Lytle made the trip via automobile to Chicago in nine hours Thursday, June 6. They stayed in Chicago Friday and Saturday, return- ing home Sunday none the worse for the trip. A. F. Longren, with E. H. Hunt, spent several days with the trade last week. Hartje & Elder have their mums planted. They are putting in posts for their new house this week. Henry Backmeyer, for the last three years with A. Wiegand & Sons, left this establishment this week and is going on the road with the Hoosier Quartette. Baur & Steinkamp have a fine lot of indoor asters coming on. Adolph Baur, of this firm, says that they are getting in a fine lot of orders for young poin- settias. E. A. Nelson reports a fine bedding season. He had one .iob which called for nearly 3,000 geraniums and about 150 feet of veranda boxes. H. L. W. BOWLING AT OHICAOO.

PRESIDENT DAYTON'S ADDBESS [Concluded from page 60.] of your legislative committee has had the time of his life and knows all the joys of a prolonged fight between the devil and the deep blue sea. The New Quarantine Bill. Unquestionably, in spite of the ac- tion taken at our last convention, the nurserymen stand today, if not endors- ing as a whole, at least as not oppos- ing a quarantine law for all foreign countries and domestic quarantine for any "new or not theretofore widely ?revalent dangerous insect or disease." t is possible it may become a law at- this session of Congress. What amend- ments may be offered or adopted, we know not, but, knowing something about the hearings before the commit- tee, and the influences being brought to bear, I consider it practically certain that the law when passed, or soon afterward, will be amended so as to leave out "new or not theretofore widely prevalent," and place domestic quarantine on the same basis as for- eign. This bill may come before the House at any time now, and definite instructions should be given your legis- lative committee as to the proper action. Love's Labor Lost. It is with a good deal of pleasure that I note the formation of, and the active interest taken in, state and sec- tional organizations of nurserymen. May the work continue until every state has a live organization. Let us remember that this association is the national one, and unless we work in harmony many of our efforts will be < ' love 's labor lost. ' ' When two organ- izations of nurserymen ask for or work for different things, they get nothing or worse. One of the most important things, in my judgment, that this convention could accomplish, would be the prepara- tion of a satisfactory state inspection law, and the enlisting of the resources of all our associations, national, sec- tional and state, in an effort to induce every state legislature to pass a uni- form law.

We are told that automobiles, lunch baskets, outer garments — in fact, al- most anything passing through certain sections — may carry dangerous insects to another state or section, which may develop to such proportions that that section or even the entire state may be quarantined and the shipment of nurs- ery stock prohibited.

It takes probably an average of a car of Pocahontas coal for each 4,000 square feet of greenhouse glass per season — and there are few greenhouses that can not buy in carload lots to advantage. Subscribers are invited to write tKe 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 Eeview is a good boiler, and the advertisers sell them on their merits. UNDEBGBOUND MAINS. We have a greenhouse, 27x80, which we have been heating by a boiler in the west end of the house. Twenty feet west of the house we have a boiler pit, about ten feet deep, where we wish to place the boiler. We wish to connect the house and the boiler pit with a con- crete tunnel. North of this house, which we shall designate as No. 1, and separated from it by a 12-foot driveway, we are going to build house No. 2, 27x100, also to be connected to house No. 1 by a concrete tunnel. Our problem is this: How large a pipe must we have to supply these two houses? No. 1 has about 600 feet of radiation; No. 2 will have about 900 feet. The boiler has two 4-inch flow openings and four return openings. We can join the two 4-inch flow openings and connect with a tee to a larger pipe, again re- ducing to 3-inch after getting into the greenhouses. Of course we could use 4-inch pipes, two for flows and two for returns, but we do not wish to build the tunnel wider than necessary. What size of pipe will take care of this radia- tion? The fall between the lowest coil in the greenhouses to the top of the boiler will be about six or seven feet. We have some 14-inch wrought-iron pipe which we wish to use for a smoke- stack. We are thinking of setting this pipe in, .a concrete pier, 4x6 feet, run- ning the pipe into the side of the pier and then up thirty feet. Can this be done without ruining the concrete by the expansion of the 14-inch pipe, heated by fire under the boiler? Our location is northern Illinois. B. B. When there is a drop of six or seven feet, there should be no difficulty about taking care of 1,500 square feet of radiation by means of a 5-inch flow and return. The flow can be continued of the same size to the farther end of the first house, where a 3-inch pipe could be taken oflE and this broken up into FLORISTS' POCAHONTAS COAL Shipped anywhere from coast to coast.

In addition to the radiation from the flow pipe, four coils of four 2-inch pipes each will be required if a tem- perature of 60 degrees is desired, or twelve returns will suffice if a tempera- ture of 50 to 52 degrees is all that is needed. If preferred, the flow pipes for the first house could be taken off as soon as the main reaches it, in which case the three 2 ^^ -inch flows should be run to the farther end of the house and connected with the coils, which would only require three 2-inch returns each. If the smoke pipe rests upon a steel plate on the top of the pier, there will be no trouble from its expansion. THE FUEL MABKET. There has been this week no impor- tant change in the market for coal. Additional buyers have come into the market as reserve stocks accumulated before the April 1 shut-dow^are used up and this has served touelieve the pressure to sell coal on the rail; the snaps for the cash buyer are not so numerous as they were. The prices are pretty well maintained at the slight ad- vance that went into effect after the wage disputes were settled. In the last week many in the green- house trade have engaged their season's supply — the average grower nowadays wants to fill his sheds during summer, and keep them full almost to the end of the season. Even with a good reserve supply there are apt to come times when severe weather interrupts ship- ments from the mines and the worry point is reached. For instance, after last winter's severe cold spell was a month old one of the largest places in the west found itself down to only two days' supply in some of its sheds, al- though dozens of cars had been shipped. Of course no florist of standing ever froze up because of inability to get ■ ■ '•r^''« ^vTt;"."- JDNE 43, 1912.

Commencements and weddings have kept things moving since Decoration day, and though there have not been any large affairs, the aggregate has been satisfactory. Carnations are ar- riving in quantities. There is so much work to be done that it is impossible to clean out the benches as quickly as desirable, and the only thing to do is to cut the carnations and send them in. This will not continue long, and it is only a question of a few days when carnations will be scarce. Some peo- nies are coming in, but it will be a week or more before there is a quan- tity. Sweet peas have been the prime favorites for both graduations and wed- dings, and at no time has there been a great surplus. Bedding plants have found good sale, and some lines are almost cleaned out. Vincas in 4-inch and smaller sizes are scarce. The sale of fern leaves has fallen off, now that the gardens are sup- plying green. Various Notes. The Boldt-Lundy Flower Shop was opened on Monday, June 3, at 614 Six- teenth street. This is in the heart of the shopping district and is one of the best locations, especially for transient trade. The store is quite attractive, being painted white, and the mirrors on either side give an appearance of great width. S. Lundy, one of the pro- prietors, was formerly a Denver man, having worked for the Park Floral Co. several years ago. Eecently he had been traveling salesman for the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, but resigned that position a short time ago to take up his present work. Ben Boldt has been in the greenhouse business for a num- ber of years, and is considered one of Denver's best growers. He has made a specialty of fine plants and has been most suecessfuL Miss C. Culp, of Littleton, Colo., has sold her place to Miss Susie Cook, who will conduct the business under the name of the Littleton Floral Co. Miss Culp has gone to Greeley, where she will attend the normal school. The S. Ban Co. has a lot of imported Japanese plants on display at 824 Fif- teenth street. Among them are some fine dwarf maples. After being in business about a week, the Columbine Floral Co. gave up its store, at 817 Fifteenth street. The Park Floral Co. recently received a shipment of bays, but some of the extra large specimens were so badly dried out that it is feared they cannot recover. These larger ones were im- • ported especially for exhibition at the coming flower show, and their loss is a great disappointment in several ways. The roses grown by Emil Glauber are undoubtedly among the finest in Den- ver. His Killarneys are elegant. S. Knudsen, of Boulder, has some Cattleya Mossiae which are now ready to cut. Not many orchids are grown in this vicinity, the climate being too dry, and nearly all those used are shipped in. The day after Decoration day, J. A. Valentine, N. A. Benson and A. H.

Business was not as brisk last week as it usually is in the month of weddings, but the month is still young and there is no telling how it will end. June always has footed up well with Detroit florists and there is no reason why it should not do" so this year. Stock of every description is plentiful and good. Peonies are arriving in large quantities. Iris, miniature gladioli, sweet peas, etc., are also plentiful. Car- nations are beginning to show the effects of warmer weather. Eoses are good, especially that ever popular rose (in Detroit), La Detroit. Various Notes. William Seifferlein, who has been foreman at J. F. Sullivan's greenhouses for some time, has given up his position, to take an indefinitely extended vaca- tion before he again takes up the har- ness. In his stead Mr. Sullivan has been fortunate in securing the services of Theodore Buchholz, formerly fore- man for E. O. Kuhnke, of Toledo, O. Charles Plumb is the latest Detroit florist to invest in a touring car. Like many of his brother florists, he has pur- chased a Ford. A pretty scenic effect in the window of the Bemb Floral Co. is attracting con- siderable attention. In fact, no one gets by Mr. Pochelon's windows with- out being tempted to take a look, as they are always nicely trimmed. Miss Hattie Holzhauer, who formerly conducted the Flower Shcfp, in Detroit, and Eobert Klagge, the well known grower at Mount Clemens, were joined in matrimony at the Bath City, Thurs- day, June 6. After the ceremony the happy couple embarked on a steamer bound for Duluth and northern Michi- gan. H. S.

Mention The Review when vou write MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. Business conditions are above the average for this time of year, with wed- dings, entertaining and graduations, also a seeming desire of everyone to have a few flowers in the home. The market seems to be flooded with peonies, which never were larger or more varied. Various Notes. The Merriam Park Floral Co. will build one new house and repair three old ones, and expects to be in good shape before snow flies. Mr. Kaiser, of this company, reports an extraordinary demand for white flowers. Hans Eosacker is building a concrete boiler room and installing a 100 horse- power boiler to take care of all hisipres- ent houses and those he anticipates building. His violets are all in the field, looking fine, and he considers it much better than planting them in pots. Mr. Eosacker has had a fairly good demand for window boxes for the down- town stores, but not what he expected, owing, he believes, to the warm spell immediately after filling last year, which badly burned a great many. The regular monthly meeting of the Minneapolis Florists' Club was held at Eice Bros.' June 6, the attendance be- ing smaller than usual. The subject of a florists' picnic was generally dis- cussed, and Mr. Desmond, the president, suggested cooperating with the State Florists' Association and having One large affair. This will be decided at the next meeting of the state associa- tion. Mr. Eckhardt was a guest from St. Paul. The members present spoke highly of the success of advertising Mothers' day by one large and attract- ive ad in the daily papers. The spirit of uniting seemed to nicely fit the occa- sion. It was voted to extend thanks to Mr. Halliday, of the L. S. Donaldson Co., for his assistance in the advertising. The store formerly known as the House of Flowers, in the Eadisson hotel, has been purchased by Miss Whitted, this making her third store, all centrally located. The Hiawatha Gardens Co. is building a new house at the Lyndale avenue place, 42x155, for early mums and single violets. This company is also building a cold storage house at the University avenue place for bulbs and hardy peren- nials. This house will be large enough . to care for 500,000 bulbs, and they ex- pect to be much better able to handle bulb stock this way. Eichard Stelling, formerly in charge of the Hiawatha Gardens' Lyndale ave- nue place, has gone to the Jewell Nurs- ery Co., Lake City, and Max Horacek will have charge in his stead. The flower department in the E. M. Chapman-Basting new store is neat and attractive, and quite out of the ordi- nary. The cold storage system is prov- ing decidedly satisfactory. W. F. H.

CLEVELAND. The Market. The weather for the last week has been ideal and stock of all kinds is plentiful. Carnations and short roses are sold in job lots at the buyer 's price. Some excellent King, America and Au- gusta gladioli are seen. Peonies are being put into cold storage in largo quantities and this market should be well supplied with this stock this year. The peony crop was late and the school commencement season was early, nearly all commencements coming in Maj-. As peonies are generally put into storage, to be held for June commencements, the call for cold storage stock will, in all probability, not be as strong as in othi'v years. vSome excellent Maryland roses have been coming into this market. They ure fine, heavy buds on good stems, with perfect foliage, a decided improvenieit over Killarney at this time of the year. Centaurea, salpiglossis, stocks, etc., are peen in limited quantities. The call for green goods has been strong. Various Notes. Greenhouse vegetable places are springing up like mushrooms in this vicinity. In Rocky Eiver alone this year there are six new plants going up, with a total of nearly 300,000 feet of glass. The J. M. Gasser Co. has been busy with several large weddings. A.

The entertainment included a picnic lunch from 12 o'clock noon to 1:30 p. m. and a real Lancaster county dinner at the Riverview hotel at 4:30 p. m. The amusements comprised games of various sorts — dancing for the dancers, fishing for the fishermen, and a trip to the McCalls Ferry power plant, one of the large propositions of the country, for those who were interested in won- derful things.

KING GUTTER MADE OF WOOD "lest you FORGET" We want you to know that we make a wood gutter, and a good one too. It combines all the good points of other wood gutters, "AND THEN SOME." NOTE that the condensation and drip run down the sides and sloping bottom to a drip pan placed under the gutter where it maltes no shade. We know it will do that, for we have tried it. This gutter lends itself to an outside wall as an eave most admirably. LET US FIGURE WITH YOU on any greenhouse project you have in mind. We may give you new ideas, and you will see * A CREAT UGHT.

There's a pump for shallow wells and cis- terns, another for deep wells; some adapted to pumping direct to the pipe lines, others tor use with air-pressure or storage tanks; m fact, no matter what the requirements may be, they can always be met with one or another of the Standard Pumping Units This large variety of styles in gas, gasoline and electric motor pumps has made possible important reductions in the price of all Standard Pumping Units, for instance : The 2-H. P. suction lift pumping engine shown above formerly sold for $195.00; it is now only |t75.»iO. Its brother, the 2-H. P. deep well pumping unit, formerly sold for $195.00, is now only $186.00, but, regardless of price, the Standard Pumping Engines will always be found best for florieta and gardeners, because they are built by engine men who have made a special study of the needs of this trade. All Standard machines are fully guaranteed. Return at our expense if unsatis- factory, aud purchase price will be refunded.

June 20 Nothing Sure but Death and Taxes The pessimist who figured that out overlooked express charges. The express company may forget everything else in the world, but did you ever hear of them forgetting to collect charges? After you have paid express charges, there is nothing more disappointing than to find you have received a poor lot of flowers. Now that the warm weather is here, you have to use par- ticularly good judgment in ordering. One of the most satisfactory flowers you can use is Beauties. We have plenty of good, clean, young stock; per- fect buds, fine foliage. Nothing ships better, keeps better, or will give better satisfaction to your customers. Prices run from $4 to $8 per hundred for short stems; $10 to $15 for medium, and $20 to $25 for long. We have lots of them and you are always sure to get good value, because we are trying to keep you in business instead of trying to put you out of it.

The consumer has been taught to buy bargains. Below-cost bargaining has been so firmly hammered into the minds of consumers that more selling is culmi- nated by artifices than by values. In every community one store in every line was found that maintained prices and did not indulge in special sales. These stores had a steadier, more per- I manent trade, and sold with far less effort. — System. DISAGREES WITH THE CBITICS. In reading the remarks on the de- signs submitted for criticism, in The Review of May 30 and June 13, I noted what some of the critics said about decorating the easel. I do not agree with them. I do not think that trimming the easel adds to the beauty of the design, but rather detracts from it, as it adds to the bulk of the easel and is likely to destroy the form of the design by becoming an apparent part of it. I always use a compara- tively small easel and simply gild it; then it looks neat, though hardly no- ticeable. Its purpose is simply to sup- port the design and it is merely a convenience, particularly at the grave. It takes considerable time and mate- rial to trim it, and in doing funeral work both time and material count, and I take it for granted that most design makers, and florists generally, are working for their daily bread and not alone for the love of it or for the little glory that is attainable. I use ribbon and gauze — preferably gauze — profusely, and not to tie any- thing, but as an accessory, like pretty ferns with some daintier flower than the whole design has been made pf. In short, I use the gauze and ribbon as trimming, just as the ladies love to revel in laces, ribbons and plumes on their $50 — more or less — Easter bonnets. Miss Blair advocates the bunch, to the exclusion of designs. I do not agree with her, as the designs, while showier, are also suggestive. The wreath is suggestive of eternity; the cross, of fealty, of many burdens bravely borne; the lyre and harp, of celestial music; the pillow, of rest; the anchor, of safety. These are among the prettiest designs, and they can be made easily and can be varied in a hundred ways, so that they never look "samey." I have attended bunch funerals" and noticed that a great deal of the beauty of the flowers was lost. Flowers in a pretty design, J'lgbtly treated, keep and look better than in a spray. I do not mean to ^ay, of course, that I like any of those freak designs, or huge affairs that are clumsy and really a trouble to the family and friends at the *"^eral. Sue Cabaniss. NO NEED FOR EXCITEMENT. At Memorial day, in certain sections, '^l^e numbers of artificial wreaths were ^old, and a custom has arisen of using ooor crepes of artificial material in place ot the black drape at one time universal I^i't which among the wealthier has been '" a measure supplanted by a door J'iger of fresh cut flowers. The fact ^hat retail florists have sold and are sell- I'lg these artificial arrangements is excit- I'ls,' some of those members of the trade ^^ho forget how quickly such fashions 'i ~\ Many early bulbs will soon be arriv ing and it is always well to prepare ; good heap of compost in advanfce of their coming. Good fibrous loam, whicl' "has been stacked sufficiently long to lose most of its toughness, mixed with old, decayed cow manure and sand, makes an excellent bulb soil. If cow manure is not to be had, spent hotbed or mushroom manure, which has had a chance to dry out and is not wormy, will be found good. Pulverized sheep or cow manure can be used, but is not equal to the fresher article. Some soot can be added if desired and this will help to clear out the worms. The ma- jority of bulbs like a ligj^t, fairly rich and somewhat sandy compost and if a good pile is now prepared, it. will be in prime condition for use when the various bulbs arrive. Amaryllis. It is a mistake to dry amaryllis off in the summer. This is often done, but it should be remembered that it is at this season that the plants make their real growth; in fact, the most success- ful amaryllis growers, including those who showed such marvelous groups at the recent great London International Show, never really dry off their bulbs at all. If a house can be spared for them, the pots will be better plunged, and the glass given a light shade. Fail- ing this, utilize a coldframe and plunge the pots to their brims in decayed leaves or some other suitable material. Leave sashes on all the time. Shade the glass, but not too heavily. Spray freely on bright days and keep the sashes ele- vated at top and bottom all the time. Afford liquid manure at least twice a week, as amaryllis, when in good health and with their pots full of roots, appre- ciate plenty of it.

Cold Storage Lilies. Bulbs of Lilium speciosum and L. auratum, if secured and potted now, will come in flower in late fall, and if grown comparatively cool will be in full crop for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Unpack and pot these bulbs just as soon as they are received, as they start to make roots and shoots quickly. While these may be grown in boxes six inches deep, they do better in pots of extra large size, those from seven to nine inches in diameter answering well. Cover the bulbs to a good depth. Use a rather sandy loam. After potting, if the loam is fairly moist, water need not be given for a few days. Keep them in a coldframe, pit or cool greenhouse. Their growth is quite rapid and they will soon need spacing apart. Show Pelargoniums. As pelargoniums pass out of flower, stand them outdoors or on any vacant greenhouse bench and keep them con- siderably drier at the root after resting in this way for flve or six weeks. They can be well pruned back and allowed to break away a little before repotting. To increase stock, cuttings may be taken now, or later, when the plants are pruned back. The cuttings root readily, either in a regular cutting bench or in a coldframe, and can be grown into fine salable stock in 6-inch pots for next spring's sales. Propagating Hardy Shrubs. The last few days in June is an ex- cellent time for taking cuttings of many of the hardy flowering shrubs. A close frame is necessary. Bottom heat is sometimes used, but is not necessary. Cuttings can be placed directly in the frame or in flats or pans, according to the number it is desired to propagate. Cuttings, after insertion, must be kept frequently sprayed. No sun must be allowed to strike them and air must be given sparingly. Frames should be closed up fairly early each afternoon, in order to bottle up a good heat. The following among other shrubs can be propagated now: Loniceras, philadel- phus, euonymus, spiraeas, deutzias, exo- chordas, syringas (lilacs), viburnums, ^eigelas (diervillas), Daphne cneorum, claeagnus, symphoricarpos, kerrias, for- s^ythias, hydrangeas, rhodotypos, xan- t lorrhiza and stephanandra. The in- creasing call for choice flowering shrubs sbould make it worth while for many country florists to propagate good batches of such varieties as are in de- mand. Privet Hedges. Growth is now sufficiently advanced for hedges of California and other privets to receive their first clipping. In order to secure a dense and formal hedge, one or more additional trimmings through the summer will be necessary. Except in the more favored states, it would be well for growers to use less of the California and more of the Jap- anese privet, Ligustrum Ibota. The latter is reliably hardy, while the for- mer, though pretty and quick growing, cannot be depended upon. KEDZIE'S NEW KAB. Each week brings new names to the list of those using the automobile as a means of making deliveries in the flo- rists' trade and last week brought a report from Hans Rowaldt and Ed- ward Leslie, who form the firm doing a retail business on Chicago's west side under the firm name of Kedzie Florists, that a new Mercury delivery car has been put in service. The Mer- cury Co. also reports that cars were sold last week to F. A. Berger & Sons, Elizabethport, N. J., and J. M. Fox & Son, Milwaukee, Wis. The photo reproduced is that of the car put in service by the Kedzie Florists. BOWE'S BOWEB. The florists who do retail trade out- side the business centers often are heard to express surprise at the large volume of business the downtown re- tailers are able to handle in small quarters. The high rents downtown are the reason for the ••economy of space, and the pressure is, of course, at its worst in New York, where rents are the highest in the country, with the possible exception of a half mile of State street in Chicago on which no florist has been able to maintain himself for long. The rents are affecting the florists just as they are affecting the architecture — as the building can't spread out they go higher, and so do the flower stores. Many of the downtown stores now oc- cupy two floors and the M. A. Bowe establishment, illustrated herewith, oc- cupies three floors. It is on East Thirty-third street, New York, near the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, in a neighbor- hood where no shopkeeper has more street floor space than he actually needs for selling purposes, stockrooms and workrooms being located 'in places less accessible to the buyers, Mr. Bowe has a basement 20x60 and a second floor room of the same size. The illus- tration showing the exterior of the store gives an idea of how these re- sourceful downtown retailers do their share of the plant trade even in the heart of a great city. Mr. Bowe will be recognized in both pictures. His rotundity makes it seem no more than natural that he years ago adopted ' * The Golden Bule" as his business motto, building his success upon it. Mr. Bowe has just returned from Europe. Louisville, Ky. — The Kentucky Soci- ety of Florists held its monthly meeting June 5 at H. Kleinstarink 's.

Will you kindly tell us which of the best outdoor roses make a satisfactory growth on their own roots, and which it is better to bud on stronger growing stock? We desire to try rooting cuttings in a frame about the end of June ac- cording to the method described in The Review some weeks ago. Our location is Jersey. G. V. W. All the rambler types of roses, such as Lady Gay, Crimson Rambler, Hiawatha, Carmine Pillar, American Pillar, Balti- more Belle, Dorothy Perkins, Tausend- schon, etc.; the Wichuraianas, rugosas, Harrison 's Yellow, Persian Yellow, Aus- trian Copper, the various Penzance sweetbriers, multiflora and some other robust growing roses are quite satisfac- tory on their own roots. On the other hand, all the hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas are more vigorous and hardy when budded on the seedling brier or Manetti stocks. This is particularly true of the colder states. Plants on their own roots do well in some sections and will succeed fairly well for a time even in our cold states, but cannot compare with such as are budded. The end of June will be a suitable time to root cuttings of many of the outdoor roses in a mild hot- bed. C. W. POOB BOSES. Our roses have had an awful lot of mildew this spring. Would you advise putting sulphur on an oil stove until it melted? What would be the effect? If that isn't good, what is? These roses are giving us only short stems. Most of the wood is small, but there is some large growth coming on. It is starting from the bottom. How would you advise treat- ing and cutting them to make good plants for next fall and winter, as we want to carry them over another year or two? Our poll is Iowa black loam. We have only given them a few feeds this winter. Two weeks ago they were given a top- dressing of cow manure. It was spread on by water. The rose plants in one end of the house are dropping their leaves. What would cause that? W. B. Careless ventilating will develop mil- dew. As a rule, it is traceable to draughts. If you use steam heat, a little sulphur on the pipes will keep mildew in check. Where hot water is used, the sulphur can be blown over the plants through powder bellows. Boiling sulphur over au oil stove is all right, but you never want to leave the house while it is going. I have seen many distressing cases where operators left the house and in their absence the sulphur boiled over and took fire, with disastrous results to the plants in the bouses. Without knowing anything about the varieties and the way they have been •treated, it is difficult to give advice on how to treat them. The cause of leaves falling heavily is possibly an ex- cess of cow manure. If this was fresh when applied, followed by a soaking watering, with insuf&cient ventilation to allow ammonia to escape, it is the prob- able cause of the leaves falUngj^Llhe plants should be kept somewha^orier for six or eight weeks, then pruneli back and started up again. Cut the w^k, dead and dying wood when pruningA Avoid keeping the plants too dry at the root and, even when you do not water, use the hose freely on the plants. Eoses rather prefer a heavy soil; one containing clay is especially good, but even in light soil they can be grown well when judiciously fed and carefully treated. C. W. OODFBEY CALI.AS. Will you kindy let us know through The Review how to handle Godfrey callas that have been grown through the t\ in- ter? M. G. F. C. The blooming season now being o-er for this most^,yseful and valuajjle calla, the plants sbdktlFd -be taken outAoors and laid on their sides to ripen off. They can be shaken out and repotted late in July or early in August. You can, if you wish, plant out a lot of the small bulblets in a rich piece of ground, if you want to increase your stocik. Lift and pot these before danger of frost. The callas are of little value commercially after Memorial day and it always is best to let them gradually rest after that date. C. W. VINCAS. Will you please inform me as to the proper procedure," in Michigan, to grow long, full vincas for next spring's sales? J. D. L. In order to have large, full plants of the green and variegated vincas for next spring's sales the young plants should now be set out in nursery rows, in the field, and given frequent cultivations through the summer. Lift and pot them about the end of September. Stand the pots along the edges of your carnation or other benches. If you have no young plants, you should purchase some and plant out at once. Cuttings do not root as easily now as earlier in the season, and it is getting late to root them for producing heavy plants for another sea- son. C. W. T» POINTEBS FOB A BEOINNEB. Will you please give some pointers to a beginner? How should a well grown carnation, say an Enchantress, look now, June 15? I mean, what should be the aver- age height and number of shoots? The buds, when showing color, turn slightly brown on the edges, so that the full-blown flower has a rather old look. Is this caused by watering art night, or by overhead spraying instead of among the stems, or by supplying in- sufficient water? Or what is the prob- able reason? It is not from fumiga- tion, as there has been no need of that. I see that a few big olive green cat-, erpillars have bored holes in a few buds and have been lying curled up on some open flowers. What shall I use? C. D. A. Your carnation plants in the field should now have from four to six young shoots on them, and should be ready to top the second time before July 1. Then, with another topping about the middle of July and another about Au- gust 1, you will have some fine plants to bench early in August. In case it is desired to bench the plants extra early, say before the middle of July, the plants should be somewhat farther along than suggested. In that case extra early propagating is necessary. There is no question that a medium- sized plant is the ideal one for bench- ing. There is less loss of bottom foli- age, consequently less labor, and less trouble all around in getting the plants reestablished than where the plants are extremely large. Those brown edges you complain of are due to the ravages of that common and destructive enemy of the carnation, thrips. Instead of there having been no need of fumigating, as you suggest, there has not been enough of it. At least, it has not been effective. It is now so late in the season and weather conditions are so favorable to the pest that it would hardly pay you to start a crusade against them. If they are so numerous that you get no good blooms at all, I would suggest that you tear out all the old plants, clean out the house and fumigate it with sul- phur. Then get it ready and replant with young plants as soon as they are in proper shape. Next fall start in with regular spraying once each week with the nicotine preparations, as a preventive.

Those large green caterpillars are also a common pest at this time of the year. Get rid of them by hand-picking early in the morning. Sometimes you can destroy a lot of them by poisoning with a bait made of bran, molasses and arsenic. Mix the bran with molasses until it is fairly moist and sweetened. Then add enough arsenic to make it deadly. Drop a little here and there along the edgeboard of the benches. A. F. J. B. CANNAS IN TEXAS. The canna is proving of special adap- tability to the conditions in the south; it flourishes luxuriantly, attaining a height entirely beyond the customary- catalogue descriptions of the northern catalogue houses. The accompanying illustration shows how the cannas thrive at Alvin, Texas, near Galves- ton, and only a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Note that the plants in June are above the reach of the man with his hand upraised. The upraised hand is that of D. Lee Slataper, the manager of the Texas Nursery & Floral Co. At the right in the picture is L. Eucker, the super- intendent of the florists' department.

That Montana is rapidly developing into an agricultural as well as a min- ^^g state is shown by the increased demand which the State Nursery Co., of Helena, has had for fruit and shade trees, roses, hardy perennials, bedding P'ants, etc. To meet this increased demand the nursery concern is build- "ig two new houses, each 20x250 feet. J^his addition will bring the glass area "P to 160,000 feet. The houses are inostly devoted to growing cut flowers, palms, ferns, bedding and ornamental piants, which are shipped to all parts ?i Montana and contiguous states. It ^s the intention of the company to devote more space to plants for the }vhoIesale trade, and for that purpose increased stock is being planted. The accompanying cut shows some of the employees of the State Nursery. Co. during noon time recess, and affords a view of the property. Except for Mount Helena in the distance, it is all the company's land. J. P. K. COSMOS LADY LENOX. Will you kindlly state through your columns when, in New Jersey, to stop pinching out buds on Lady Lenox cos- mos? G. V. W. Discontinue pinching the shoots on Cosmos Lady Lenox after the middle of July. This is not an early flowering va- riety and is not at its best until from the end of October to the middle of November, and in a cold greenhouse the plants, when well fed, will flower well until Christmas. C. W. VENTILATION. We are planning to reconstruct two of our houses to run east and west in order to grow a general line of pot plants, car- nations and mums, Iowa climate. On which side of the house would you put the ventilator, opening at the top? In the winter most of our winds are from the north, and in summer they are from the south. ■ W. B. Continuous ventilation on both sides of the TQ^;|K^ give^, thei'^ooses the best gro\ji^:*al&OBphere, bu* if you ' can not put in two lines let the one line be on the north side, opening against the cold winds. YELLOW HYDRANGEA LEAVES. What makes the leaves of hydran- geas turn yellow when they are forced? I have other varieties of plants that are perfectly green, though grown in the same soil. C. P. M. There are several possible reasons for hydrangea leaves turning yellow. A usual one is an insufficient water supply. If the plants are allowed to dry out badly, many leaves are bound to turn yellow. Too heavy feeding and an oversaturated condition due to poor drainage will also result in a loss of foliage. C. W. POINSETTIAS FOR CHRISTMAS. Will poinsettia cuttings, put in sand at once, produce plants — small ones — that will be in time for Christmas, or will it be necessary to buy them? C. D. A. Poinsettia cuttings put in the sand at once will make plants five to six feet high if grown along liberally. For small plants for pans, put in the cuttings about July 20 to August 1, or even later for quite short stock. The latter part of December is the natural bloom- ing period for poinsettias, and they will bloom at that time if the cuttings are put into the sand early enough for the plant to become established and form the bract. That would mean any time up to the latter part of September for putting in the cuttings. A. F. J.

The storage of wild ferns has devel oped into an important feature of cold storage industry in parts of New Eng- land, and doubtless there will be some demand elsewhere for space for their proper handling, says Madison Cooper in Ice and Refrigeration. Compara- tively little is accurately known about suitable packages, handling and storage. Although many ferns are picked in Michigan and in the south, the greater part of the ferns are picked in the mountainous parts of New England, the Berkshire hills of western Massachu- setts being especially productive, with Hinsdale the chief center. They are stored during the entire year and shipped out on orders to practically all parts of the country. New York city is a great consumer, but other eastern cities also use large quantities, and they are shipped in large lots to Chi cago and even the far west. Storage Methods — Old and New. In the early history of the fern ship- ping business it was customary to store them in barns, in beds about 10x4x1 feet, covering them with moss. Others were stored in cellars, sprinkling with water from time to time to prevent drying out, but owing to uncertain temperature, and various other condi- tions not under control, considerable loss resulted from wilting and rotting. It was found that as business increased picking must be commenced earlier in the fall, when the weather is too warm to keep the ferns properly, and cold, storage was then resorted to. Cold storage has proved to be the salvation of the business on a large scale. At first undertaken in a small and experi- mental way, the results were so much of an improvement that now the busi- ness is wholly handled through cold storage. Under the right handling, packing and temperature, the ferns come out of storage with the fresh, green appearance which makes them so attractive when used in combination with cut flowers. Picking Time and Details. Exact data are not now obtainable as to the best time of picking, but it is generally understood among the pickers that the work should not begin until the first frost, and the picking, there- fore, takes place mostly during Sep- tember and October. Picking begins about June 20, but not for storage. It seems that the ferns are toughened by the cool nights of fall, which probably act to lower the moisture content or dry them to some extent. Anyway, it is well understood that the picking for storage should not begin until the first frost, and experience has demonstrated that ferns picked before are not prop- erly matured for storage and shipping purposes. The picking is done mostly by women, children and old men, and as the work is done during a time of the year when rural occupations are least pressing, the work is very accept- able and forms an important industry and source of income in some sections. One and one-quarter to two cents per bunch of twenty-five is paid, according to variety, care in picking and quality, and even at this seemingly low rate some of the most expert pickers earn as high as $7 per day. The wild ferns usually collected are commonly divided into two grades or varieties, dagger and fancy ferns. The dagger variety is the more hardy and easier to pick, and less loss is usual in storing. The leaves are of waxy ap- pearance and coarser than the fancy ferns. As the name indicates, fancy ferns are very delicate of leaf and finer in every way and easily damaged in picking and handling. The greatest care and skill are necessary in preparing the bunches or bundles. Not all the ferns are marketable, by any means, and the careless picker is penalized. Buyers located at the railroad station receive the ferns from the pickers, and if necessary carefully sort them. Bunches of twenty-five are standard, and the ferns must be carefully ar- ranged so as to lie fiat, to avoid crush- ing or bruising. None broken or de- cayed or badly discolored are packed for shipment. As a storage package a wooden box is used (mostly second- hand shoe boxes), and the ferns are packed in layers with moss on top, bot- tom and sides, about 5,000 to 10,000 to the box. The object is to pack in such a way as to retain the moisture and eSfclude the air. Temperature and Treatment. A close determination of the most suitable temperature has not been made, but it is more than probable that what is wanted is a temperature which win freeze the moisture in the packing mj. terial and still leave the ferns unfrczen. Satisfactory results have been obtained at 30 degrees, but a temperature of 25 degrees to 28 degrees is suggeste I as more suitable, and experimental T^ork along this line is recommended. Ferns picked in August and early September should not be stored at as low a tem- perature as those picked later. If the ordinary frosts up to, say, October 15 in the Berkshire hills will not damage the ferns, it would seem that 25 degrees in cold storage should not, but still in the presence of moisture soaked packing material the effect may be different. The moss used in packing is pretty well soaked, and 28 degrees to 30 degrees will, of course, freeze the packing ma- terial and leave the ferns unfrozen. It is absolutely essential to best re suits that ferns after picking should be promptly sorted and packed and placed in cold storage. If they are shipped and on the road for several days, heat- ing is likely to result and ruin the ferns. If placed in cold storage the same day, so much the better, but in cool weather a day or two may elapse without dam age. If shipment by rail to a cold stor- age house is necessary, by all means use refrigerator cars. Far better results may be had, however, by cold storing where picked, or sufficiently near so that the ferns packed one day may be in storage the next. A cool or cold room for sorting and packing is almost a necessity, and this may best be ob- tained in connection with a cold storage plant. In piling the boxes in cold storage it is advisable to provide a 2-inch air circulating space on top, bottom and sides of the box, so as to allow a quick cooling and freezing. After a week in storage they may be piled more tightly, keeping them from side walls and floor at least two inches. Blame for Irregular Ee&ults. Results from cold storing have been reported as irregular, and, as stated at the beginning of this article, the accu rate information available is small. It would seem that the irregular results must be due to the condition of the ferns when picked, or the exposure to varying conditions before storing, as it is comparatively easy now to hold uni form temperatures in cold storage.

The Weekly Fbrists' Review* 17 Ten Acres of Wiater-Blooming Spencer Type Sweet Peas at Lompoc, CaL lack of uniformly successful results can- not be attributed to cold storage, but rather to lack of uniformity in the product stored, probably too early pick- injj; or too late picking, or to careless or unintelligent handling before storing. ANTIBBHINUMS. We are having trouble with our antir- rhinums in the field. Some insect is cut- ting them off about an inch above the ground during the day. Do cutworms evt'r work that high, or in the daytime! G. V. W. Cutworms frequently work on antir- rliinums. They are night operators, how- ever, and usually cut oflE the plants level with the ground, but occasionally above or below it. It is likely that cutworms are responsible for your losses. C. W. 3FIBJEA JAPONICA. I have some Spiraea Japonica that are through blooming. Will they be of any service for next year! If so, what treat- ment, in Georgia climate, must I give them? W. D. P. Spiraeas such as Japonica, astilboides, grandiflora and Queen Alexandra are of no value for forcing two seasons in suc- cession. They can be planted outdoors, however, in well enriched ground, and grown a couple of years,, after which they can again be used for forcing. In your state I doubt if it would pay to bother with plants in this way, when the low price of imported plants is taken into consideration. C. W. PANSIES FROM SEED. I should like to ask a favor of you. Can you recommend a firm that has good, reliable pansy seeds f I want the giant kind, with flowers two and one- nalf to three inches in diameter. What '8 the name of the largest flowering pansy! What is the best soil for pan- sies set out in September for spring flowering? I am a beginner in this business. I want about 5,000 to 6,000 plants for next spring. How much seed must I order? My location is southern J^Iinnesota. F. S. There are a number of pansy spe- cialists, advertising in The Review, who can supply you with first-class giant pansy seed. Look for what you |\':int in the classified advertising a'lit- "'} later in the season. A good strain 0! the giant Trimardeau is probably the best for all-around commercial pur- poses, but almost every conceivable type is now seen under this name. Do not buy cheap seed; the best is the cheapest in the long run. Other fine strains are Gassier 's, Bugnot's and Scotch. Seed sown late in July or quite early in August, in a coldframe, will give you excellent plants to carry over the win- ter. If you sow outdoors, pulverize the soil well. After covering the seed, water it and then mulch with fine hay, which must be removed as the seed- lings appear. As you only want a few thousand plants, I would advise sowing in a coldframe and covering with a shaded sash until the seedlings appear; then give full light. Pansies winter best in a coldframe, but can be kept outdoors on ground with a slope, where no water will stand. Mulch with straw or meadow hay when the ground freezes. You had better keep them in coldframes. Pansies love a light but rich soil, containing plenty of well de- cayed cow or horse manure. One ounce of really good seed should give you sufficient plants, but, to be on the safe side, try half an ounce extra. C. W. WATER FBOM A COAL MINE. Can you give me any information in regard to water that is pumped from a coal mine into a tower and used for city water? The people use it to water the grass, but not to drink. Would it hurt to use it for carnations and bed- ding plants, or is there probably too much sulphur in the water? H. J. W. R. The information given regarding the nature of the water is rather meager, but, if it is used freely upon the grass without bad results, it does not appear that it would do any harm to carna- tions and bedding plants. WINTEB-FLOWEBINa SPENCERS. The interest in sweet peas, and the importance of the sweet pea as a com- mercial flower, have been greatly added to since the advent of Countess Spencer. Popular as was the sweet pea prior to the arrival of that sportive variety, the hold on the flower buying public and the consequent importance to the trade were slight as compared to the present. Of course A. C. Zvolanek did much to popularize the sweet pea when he introduced his winter-flowering va- rieties. Now that winter-flowering Spencers are in sight, a still further up- lift is anticipated. Quite a few grow- ers have winter-flowering varieties of the Spencer type, but none save Mr. Zvolanek appears to have gone into them in a large way. He showed them at the National Flower Show at Boston in the spring of 1911, when they were about at the end of their season, and since then he has been busy with this type. The accompanying illustration shows a field of ten acres of winter- flowering sweet peas of the so-called orchid-flowering type which Mr. Zvol- anek this year is growing at Lompoc, Gal. The field contains sixty-four va- rieties. The seed was planted in Jan- uary and the first flowers opened about March 25. A photograph was taken on Memorial day. As soon as the type is fixed, more or less of these varieties will find their way into the trade. Mr. Zvolanek thinks the Lompoc valley is the best in the world for growing sweet pea seed, notwithstanding that the cli- mate is somewhat cool in the winter; the temperature went down last winter to 16 degrees and several times to 20 degrees, but the summer is ideal, seldom over 80 in the daytime and never over 60 degrees at night. In the illustration Mr. Zvolanek is standing at the left. Near him is a Mr. Skach, and Mrs. Skach stands at the right. Both are sweet pea experts and Mr, Zvolanek 's chief assistants. 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ June 20, 1912. OBITUARY. Joseph Labo. Joseph Labo, a leader among the Ger- man-Americans of Joliet, 111., well-to-do florist, and active participant in the work of St. John's German Catholic churc^ and several fraternal societies, died suddenly June 15, of ceretral hem- orrhage. He had gone out to his green- houses as usual at an early hour. When he returned to the house for breakfast, at 7:30, he fell and did not regain con- sciousness before his death, three hours later. Mr. Labo leaves a wife and four chil- dren. Mrs. Labo was prostrated by the shock. It is said by friends that the tragic death a year ago of a little son was a contributory cause of his death, for since that time he had never been entirely well. Mir. Labo was 43 years old last month and had lived in Joliet since 1896. Aside from his work as a florist, to which he gave his whole enthusiasm and capacity for effort, he was well known throughout the city for his vocal and histrionic talents. His personal popu- larity made him a welcome member in the fraternal orders to which he belonged. Joseph Labo came to this country from his birthplace in Germany, in 1891, stop- ping first at Eoehester, N. Y., thence going to Chicago, where he was given a position as gardener on the Lincoln park force. A year later he was engaged as one of the florists in charge of the exhibits and grounds of the World's Columbian Exposition. Upon the clos- ing of the fair he went to Joliet as head gardener of the state penitentiary. In 1896 he returned to his home to be mar- ried and came back the same year with his bride. He then went into business independently, building the first of his greenhouses the next year. In the fifteen years that have passed since then his business grew rapidly until it comprised eight large greerJiouses and a downtown store. ^ The funeral was held June 17 and was largely attended, all the local florists be- ing present, with several from Chicago. There were many flowers. William Melcher. William Melcher, a retired florist of Eockf ord. 111., died June 6 at the Hodge sanitarium, in that city. Although stricken with apoplexy in February, on his seventy-fifth birthday, he was able to be out of doors the day before hia death. His death is attributed to a second stroke while he was asleep. He was born in Germany, February 8, 1837, but had lived practically all his life in America, being brought to this coun- try by his parents when he was a child. The home was in Chicago a short time before settling at Eockford. Mr. Melcher was the oldest florist in Eockford. He began business in the 900 block in Eockton avenue, then moved to the corner south of Court street, and later to Church street, where he built greenhouses. The place is now owned by J. J. Soper. Mr. Melcher retired a score of years ago. He was married July 4, 1864, to Ada A. Hill, who died in November, 1906. There are three children — Mrs. C. Albin Nel- son, 1020 North Main street, Eockford; L. L. Melcher, of Denver, Colo., and Clyde W. Melcher, of Sioux City, la. J. J. Melcher, of Sparta, Wis., is a brother. William Boethke. William Eoethke, president and founder of the William Eoethke Floral Co., of Saginaw, Mich., and one of the best known florists of the state, died at his home, 1717 Gratiot avenue, Saginaw, on Sunday morning, June 9. His illness had been critical for only a few days, though it had been sev- eral weeks since a .chronic trouble from which he suffered assumed an aggravated form. It resulted in hem- orrhages, for the relief of which sur- gical treatment was resorted to. For the first ten days after the operation progress was favorable, but after that time the vital force ebbed slowly. His death was peaceful and painless. The passing of William Eoethke re- moves from life a typical Prussian gen- tleman and ends a life distinguished by independence, industry, courtesy and in later years financial success. Though he passed his eightieth birthday last February, he was never out of touch with the ambitions and hopes and plans of younger men. He was born in Muero, Province of Brandenburg, Prussia, February 13, 1832. He was the seventh son of Carl Ludwig Eoethke, a teacher in Muero for more than fifty years. In early life he learned the saddlers' trade, serving an apprenticeship of three years. He found it distasteful, and served a three and one-half years' apprenticeship as florist. Then he en- tered the military service, in which he remained four and one-half years, tak- ing part in the wars of 1864 and 1866. He might have advanced to military preferment, and his record as a sol- dier was without a single mar, but he returned to his work as florist and for some years was forester on the estate of the Count of Arnim. The Countess of Arnim was Malvina Von Bismarck, sister of the chancellor. It was while in this employ that he married Bertha Tabbert. The wedding was solemnized on the estate, October 20, 1861. The day was made a holiday and the bride was the recipient of many wedding gifts, some of which still remain m the Eoethke family. The family Bible, whose records were consulted to get some of the dates quoted, was the wedding gift of Mal- vina Von Bismarck. After the marriage some years of reasonable prosperity were enjoyed and then financial reverses stripped Mr. Eoethke of his accumulation, and in 1873 he and his family came to Amer- ica and directly to Saginaw. Within six months after arriving there he es- tablished in a primitive way the busi- ness that has developed into the busi- ness of the William Eoethke Floral Co., which is today one of the largest in its line in the state. Mrs. Eoethke shared in the hardships and the toil of developing the business and lived to see it reach large proportions. She died May 7, 1909. Some ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Eoethke visited Germany and on their return Mr. Eoethke was more enthusiastic than ever over the freedom and independence that Ameri- can citizenship afforded. His sympa- thies were with American ideas. He became estranged from the Lutheran church because of his love of the pub- lic school system. His life was spent with his family and his business. He belonged to no societies. In politics he was a Eepublican, but he never sought office. . He is survived by three sons and two daughters, Emil Eoethke, Charles L. Eoethke and Otto Eoethke, Mrs. Henry Beisterfield and Mrs. Gustave Granse, all of Saginaw. His eldest brother, the late Carl Eoethke, died in Eichland a little more than a year ago at the age of 96. One brother in Ger- many ia supposed to be liviag, althougi, Mr. Eoethke had not heard from hiju in a long time. James J. Harrison. In the death of James J. Harrison president of the Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O., which occurred at his winter home at Eustis, Fla., Tuesday morning, June 11, the trade has lost one of its most widely known and most re- spected members. Mr. Harrison was born August 20 1829, in Kent county, England, and was therefore approaching his eighty-third year. At the age of 2 years he came to Painesville with his parents and, after having the usual schooling in his home town, he was graduated from a Cleveland business college and later from Hiram. His association with the nursery business began when he made frequent grafting trips to Georgia and Arkansas during the early fifties. Later he was engaged in the fruit business in Milwaukee, Wis., and in 1856 he started a nursery in a small way on the present Carroll place, on Mentor avenue, Paines- ville, known years afterward as the Jayne & Cole nurseries. In 1858 he entered partnership with Jesse Storrs, of the South Eidge, who at that time had only four or five acres devoted to the business which has since grown to huge proportions under the management of the Storrs & Harrison Co., with over 1,000 acres under culti- vation. Mr. Harrison was the first president of the Storrs & Harrison Co., and held the office at the time of his death. Up to last June he had charge of the ad- vertising of the company and only gave up active identification with this branch of the business when failing health compelled him to relinquish the reins to his subordinates. It was in 1890 that he really retired from active serv- ice. At this time he suffered from a nervous breakdown and rheumatism. In search of health he visited after that time sixteen springs and sanitariums. Mr. Harrison was a charter member of the American Association of Nurs- erymen. He was a member of the exec- utive committee of the association in 1876, the year of its organization, and was first vice-president the following year. He was one of the recognized authorities in the nursery business in the United States and his influence reached to foreign countries. For the last nine years he had spent six months of the year in his winter home, where he died, with his two surviving children, Miss Alice A., and Willard C. Harrison, at his bedside. Mrs. Harrison passed away August 17, 1899. Only two chil- dren remain, of six born to the couple- George Kuehn. George Kuehn, for fourteen years head of the wire work department of the Holton & Hunkel Co., Milwaukee, died suddenly early Thursday morning) June 13. Although he had been a suf- ferer from rheumatism and heart trou- ble for some time, he was active up t" JDNB 20, 1912. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 19 the night of his death, the end coming with great suddenness and being entire- ly unexpected. ' Mr. Kuehn was a brother of C. A. Kuehn, the St. Louis wholesale florist, and is survived by his son, Oscar, who js a wire worker at C. A. Kuehn 's es- tablishment. Burial was from the family home at Detroit, June 15, and both C. A. Kuehn and Oscar Kuehn attended the funeral. Theodore F. Frank. Theodore F. Frank, of Buffalo, N. Y., fell quietly asleep Friday, June 14, on the fifty-third anniversary of his wed- din*^ day. Mr. Frank was born in Prus- sia,°May 6, 1830, served his apprentice term in Erfurt, and after gaining expe- rience in different greenhouses in Ger- many came to America in 1856. After being employed at different branches of horticulture until 1876, he founded in Buffalo the business which he conducted the balance of his life. Though his health was impaired by accidents which occurred after his seventy-fifth year, his ambition and love of flowers impelled him to active labor among them almost to the day of his death. This was the first break in the home circle, being survived by his wife and five children. A horror of debt and a pride in being perfectly solvent made him conduct his business in a conservative manner, which proved satisfactory to all who dealt with him. It is expected that the business will be continued in his name as the best monu- ment to him that could be erected in his memory. The store is at 205 Grant street and the greenhouses at 95 Gelston street. BOSTON. The Market. So far June business has not been at all satisfactory and prices have ruled unusually low on nearly all flowers. There appear to be as many weddings as ever, but somehow the demand for flowers has been disappointing. Even the popular peony seems to have fallen into some disrepute, as these flowers have dragged more than is usual and even the best shades have not sold as they should. The quality has rarely been better. The present week will see the end of the peonies. Roses are now available from outdoors, but few of the local growers handle these, though "Where obtainable they have first call. American Beauties have sold fairly yell of late, but the demand for the immense number of short-stemmed stock has been erratic and street fakers are handling big lots of both these and carnations. The latter flowers go any- where from 25 cents to $2 per hundred. Outdoor valley has passed, but the lorced supply is adequate. There is lair call for it. Sweet peas grown ^nder glass are on the wane, but out- door supplies are now arriving, and these are good in quality. Lilies, cat- t'eyas, callas, gladioli, irises and other flowers are all a slow sale, and few people want stocks and other miscella- neous flowers. Green supplies are not ^P to the mark in quality. Club Meeting. Toadies' night at the Gardeners' and florists' Club June 18 attracted an at- jondanee of over 300. These June meet- ings always prove popular and draw a large attendance. ^Business was short- ened as much as possible in order to enjoy the fine entertainment and colla- tion which had been prepared. A com- munication from a committee of the New York Florists' Club was read, asking the club's cooperation in its efforts to secure greater publicity for the various flower days in the year. A committee consisting of Henry Penn, F. E. Palmer, W. J. Stewart, Patrick Welch and Will- iam H. Elliott was appointed to work in conjunction with the New York and other committees at the coming Chicago convention. M. A. Patten spoke of his European trip and the London show. It was decided to hold the annual picnic July 24. A message of congratulation T^as sent to P. M. Miller on his marriage to Miss Anderson June 19. Miss Battley and Neil Miller furnished vocal solos and Miss Corson violin solos. Carl Scranton was the general enter- tainer. After refreshments there was dancing until midnight. Wm. Sim had a large and fine display of sweet peas and Arnold Arboretum staged a collection of shrub bloom. Mount Auburn cemetery received an award of merit for a fine cornus. Various Notes. Interest in the coming exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society, July 12 and 13, is steadily growing. Never have so many sweet peas been grown in this vicinity before, both on com- mercial and private establishments, and thanks to the cool, showery weather which persisted until the end of May, the plants made a fine, stocky growth and should be in prime condition for the big show. So large will the exhibi- tion be that doubts are even expressed that Horticultural hall will accommo- date it. Not only florists and gardeners but retailers, amateurs and school chil- dren are all full of enthusiasm for the show, which promises to set a high water mark in American exhibitions of this beautiful annual. The energetic president, William Sim, has four acres of plants in grand condition, in addi- tion to others under glass, and his ex- hibit will be a whole show in itself, as he is growing practically every variety, including all the novelties obtainable. Other growers are imbued with the same spirit and everyone interested in sweet peas should make it a point to visit Bos- ton July 12. Thousands of new flower vases have been secured and every possible arrangement will be made in advance. The committee on prizes and exhibitions will meet June 29 to com- plete arrangements. We have never seen so much interest in any summer show as is being manifested in the one to open July 12. Exhibits are coming from all parts of New England. Wax Bros., the enterprising Tremont street florists, are again featuring water lilies in their window displays. They book orders for a large number of roots for delivery next season through these displays. H. M. Eobinson & Co. say they have had good business in June. M. A. Patten and J. K. M. L. Far- quhar, who returned last week from their European trip, are full of enthu- siastic praise for the wonderful Royal International Show in London and ad- mit that it set a mark which we cannot hope to equal here. The tasteful ar- rangements greatly impressed them. William Sim is sending big quantities of superb sweet peas to the Flower Growers' Sales Co. Many of these are now outdoor grown. He is already pick- ing tomatoes from his numerous houses, planted since the violet crops were cleared. The rose, strawberry and peony show at Horticultural hall June 22 and 23 promises to be exceptionally flne, thanks to the cool weather. Many of the later peonies will still be in fine shape. Thomas Roland has a wonderful crop of tomatoes in his new 600-foot house at Revere. Some 18,000 plants were needed to fill it. W. N.

Index to Advertisers Page 102 SPECIAL NOTICE HULY FOURTH, a legal holilay, this year falls on Thursday, the day on which The Review is mailed to subscribers. As the postoffice is closed on holidays, it will be necessary to go to press ONE DAY EARUER THAN USUAL in order to reach subscribers at the regu- lar time. Advertisers and contributors will please see that matters for the issue of July 4 reach The Review office Monday, July 1, as publication day will be Tuesday that week. EESULTS. We give them. You get them. We both have them. Some of those who wonder why they have to drum up a fresh set of customers each season could find out by investigat- ing their packing and the condition of their stock at the end of its journey. A Holland bulb grower, commenting that many florists have cofne to the con- clusion that Darwins may be forced as successfully as other tulips, gives the opinion that in a few years the Darwins will take the lead. John Young, superintendent of the trade exhibition in connection with the Chicago convention of the S.A.F., says that one week after the diagram of the floor space had been sent out over half the available space had been reserved. The most valuable quality a business man has, and it is especially true of florists, is the ability to select capable assistants — the faculty of picking out good men, the ability to develop their capacity, to retain their loyalty, and the willingness to pay them enough to retain their services. The business directed by such a man never fails to prosper. SATISFIED? BATHER! There is an old saying that "a prophet is not without honor save in his own home." While The Eeview does not aspire to be classed among prophets, dealing with the present rather than with the future or the past, it is pleasant to note that advertisers in New England and on the Pacific coast are not the only ones who find The Review useful: I am cleaned out of stock, so please discontinue my advertisement. That little ad was some seller. — B. Katzwinkel, Mendota, 111., June 16 1912. Kindly discontinue my carnation ad in The Re- view; all sold out, with orders coming in dally. It speaks well indeed for such a small advertise- ment to bring such good results. — Paul E. Weiss Maywood, 111., June 14, 1912. ANOTHER SWINDLER. A fake subscription agent is operat- ing in Massachusetts, being last heard from in the vicinity of Brockton. Fortunately, few florists can be caught by such a petty swindle. The Review has repeatedly published warn- ings not to pay money to strangers for The Review's account, so the only ones who can be caught are the few who are non-subscribers. Tell your friends. In every instance where a florist has reported being victimized by this sub- scription swindler, the swindler has of- fered to send a design book, a knife, or some other article of merchandise, free as a premium. The Review never gives premiums to induce people to subscribe. Any such offer is, on its face, a fraud. The Review representatives are all well known in their respective terri- tories. Don't pay money to people you don't know. WHY REVIEW ADS PAY. Quality circulation — the kind that is bought and paid for at a fair price — that gives full value to the subscriber for the price paid^is what the adver- tiser is looking for — that is the kind of circulation that keeps him at it, because it pays. — Frank B. White. The Review does not find it neces- sary to give some article of merchan- dise to get people to subscribe, or to give the paper to those who would not subscribe for the paper itself but who accept it with an article of merchan- dise they wish to purchase. Neither does The Review find it necessary to send out quantities of free copies in the guise of samples to make up in part for an absence of paid circulation. Here is the reason and way The Review grows: Please send The Review to the address on the card enclosed. He Is a good buyer and In need of some good reading, so I have recommended The Review, telling him be could get more than $10 worth of information for his dollar. — Martin Radke, Maywood, 111., June 10, 1912. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Practically demoralized by the ever increasing 8upj)ly of peonies, the local market for the last week has been any- thing but encouraging to the whole- salers and commission men. Never be- fore has this market been burdened with so many peonies as at the present time and, with so large a part of the stock in such shape that it will not keep, conditions can hardly be expected to change for a few days at least. Prob- ably twice as many peonies can be found on the market and in the cold storage warehouses as have ever before been here at this date. In most cases only the best of stock can be held at all, with the result that the market has resolved itself into a desire to unload at almost any price. Only the fcw really dependable lots hold their values. Continued cool weather for the greater part of the month is looked upon as the principal reason for the oversupp'y> it being pointed out that the extremely hot weather that usually ushers in the month of June has always taken off tiie surplus in a few days and with these conditions absent this year the growers are able to stretch tho cutting time. The result is that so many peonies have found their way to the cold storage A. :. -,.'...i--k;.. , . ._>'..-:.j.:-.ii.a,^-u:^>..i».i....:,^^».l^r.. ..-, . ^T^ ■■ ■'f'Tip^n'.-f'Mr, JDNB 20, 1912.

Randolph Street, Chicago Mention Tbe Review when you write warehouses that it is now almost impos- sible to move them fast enough to pre- vent spoilage. Only the best are bring- ing a fair price and for the indifferent qualities the local retailer can set his own price, to the detriment of the car- nations, roses, etc. For the out-of-town dealer little can be gained by the over- supply, as only first-class stock in peo- nies can be shipped, and for these the wholesaler can get his price. As for roses and carnations, the sup- ply is more than enough to meet the demand and, while large quantities are being moved,- both in roses and carna- tions, there is but little in the way of returns, prices suffering in the desire to save the stock from the waste barrel. White roses are, perhaps, an exception, it being diflScult to find high grade stock for shipping purposes. Some of the wholesalers say they are at their wits' ends on the subject of White Killar- neys. Long distance shipments with these are a source of much worry, for, while the flowers leave in good condi- tion and show little indication of going wrong, they take on a brown, faded look before the retailer can open the box. Of Maryland and Richmond there is some nice stock to be had, and in fairly good condition for this time of the year. Melody, Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Aaron Ward are also in good supply and still command a fair price. Beauties, however, seem to have suffered another setback and are coming on the market with buds of uncertain quality. The reason is advanced that the sudden hot weather just before Memorial day forced the Beauties too fast and for a time a medium grade only will be available from most growers. Sweet peas have also dropped back. While there are large shipments from the growers, they are soft and fail to show the quality that was so pro- nounced two or three weeks ago, when the butterfly peas were at their best. The outdoor sweet peas are looked for within a short time.

Gladioli con- tinue to move slowly and hardly bring fancy prices, while lilies are anything but fast movers. Cape jasmines find a little better market than usual and, there being no oversupply, the price has held steady. Lily of the valley still holds the center of attraction and large quantities have been moved at good prices during the last ten days in re- sponse to the usual June demand. Various Notes. The marriage of Miss Louise Gedge, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Gedge, of Waukegan, to William Wienhoeber, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Wienhoeber, of Highland Park, took place yesterday afternoon, June 19.

The press committee on convention matters states that: "Vice-Chairman Fred Lautenschlager, of the entertain- ment committee, has negotiations in hand by which it is hoped to secure Bavinia park for the convention outing August 23. This is Chicago's most select and delightful resort, located about forty-five minutes' ride from con- vention hall. Eavinia affords every ac- commodation for a gathering of this kind, and the attractions include grand opera and Damrosch or Thomas orches- tras in a charming setting with all mod- ern appointments. Transportation facil- ities are admirable in every respect, and if the negotiations are brought to a suc- cessful close, as anticipated, the visitors may look forward to a most enjoyable occasion. Envelope stickers and another supply of shipping case dodgers will be ready for distribution next week." Five hundred club women took active part in Chicago's first flower tag day June 19, when record retail prices were obtained for carnations, sweet peas and peonies sold for the benefit of the Frances Willard hospital. The down- town district was in charge of Mrs. Emma B. Rathburn, of the North Side Women's Club, and before noon the first supply of 25,000 carnations, 10,000 peonies and 15,000 sweet peas had been disposed of to good advantage. The call for porch boxes has been stimulated to a marked degree by the new style of flat building with the porch or sun parlor on the front. Each new apartment of this class provides a place for three boxes. More of them have been made and filled this season than ever before. Leonard Kill is now in partnership with E. C. Japs in the real estate and insurance business at Ocean Park, Cal. He has been sending friends here marked copies of Santa Monica news- papers containing an account of the recent battle of flowers at a local amusement park. E. E. Chappell was a visitor in town again last week on his way back to Portland, Ore., after a trip to his old home at Richmond, Va. The E. G.

Fred Klingel, of Erne & Klingel, re- ports that the recently arrived twin ladies, Miss Mabel and Miss Kuth, al- readj' are showing signs of propagating teeth. Lucien Leelere, formerly with Poehl- mann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, is now with C. W. Ward's Cottage Gar- dens, Queens, N. Y. Walter Kennicott sent an enormous red, white and blue bouquet to Theodore Eoosevelt June 17, with his best wishes. The red and white were, of course, peo- nies, and the blue was cornflower wired to the peonies. A. C. Kohlbrand made the bunch, which stood probably four feet high. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., gives as his opinion that there are today in cold storage in Chicago two bunches of peonies for every bunch that was in storage at this date last year. One of the week's visitors is Leonard Alaire, of Hatfield, Mass. He is a brother-in-law of W. E. Lynch, and for- merly was employed by E. H. Hunt. C. W. McKellar and wife went to Gobleville, Mich., June 15 for a few days' outing. They shipped the auto- mobile to South Haven and motored from there. They probably will have returned before this item is in print. Joseph Foerster says that when Kyle & Foerster came to figure up the May business they found it made the largest total in their business history. Peterson Nursery still is cutting peo- nies, but the height of the season has passed. One day last week three auto- mobile loads were carried to the A. L. Randall Co. Bassett & Washburn report that the work of grading the new site for their plant is progressing rapidly and that the well has been drilled to the extent of 100 feet. A. T. Pyfer says the Chicago Carna- tion Co., Joliet, is cutting a carload of Richardson's Rubra Superba peonies this week. This is the latest variety of all. Phil Schupp, of J. A.

"There seems to be an unusually large number of calls for Maryland this year and those I offered for sale were taken in quick time," he says.

Like most such storms, it was much worse in some places than in others, some florists suffering heavy losses, while others es- caped with only a few panes of glass broken. The Williams & Clark Floral Co. was the hardest hit, losing almost all of 25,000 square feet of glass. Mrs. Geo. P- Miller lost nearly two-thirds of her glass and was without insurance.

Upon a vote of the club it was decided to hold the picnic this year at Preister's Park, Wednesday, July 17.

The Chicago convention is so absorb- ingly interesting this week that a short and sweet report will be most likely to find favor. The supply is falling off rather faster than the demand. As the decrease is chiefly in the poor grades, conditions are better. There is a fair shipping demand and but light local call. The shortage in white roses is less notice- able. Beauties are selling well; some quantity orders have kept them moving. The last of the peonies that carried well have come out of cold storage, though some large decoration peonies are prom- ised for another fortnight from cooler climes. Spencer sweet peas and valley are in demand, not so gardenias. Red and white lilies are here, and there is lots of cornflower and some coreopsis. Greens are rather dull. Fancy pond lilies, white, red and several shades of pink, are obtainable. Delphiniums are a striking novelty. Their beautiful shades of blue are decorative. The Possibilities of the Hydrangea. There was a time when the hy- drangea, discovered as an Easter plant, was forced before Easter quite univer- sally; by universally I mean to the exclusion of its use for other purposes. It seemed to be felt, as the hydrangea was so beautiful at Easter and withal so profitable, that there its usefulness ended. The result was left-over plants that the unknown eagerly purchased for outdoor adornment and then mourned their early fall. This awakened bright minds to the fact that there were other days besides Easter when the hydrangea would be sought. Then came greater prosperity to the country and a general move to the cities by the sea during the heated term. The hydrangea fol- lowed the throng; it throve amazingly. The moist, cool breezes brought size of flower and brilliancy of color, to say nothing of durability, that were revelations. The severe winter has had a disas- trous effect on hydrangeas by the sea, as well as on many other kinds of plants, trees and shrubs, but the lesson is learned; today these immense speci- EASTER LILIES are the most decorative white flower for weddings or sprays, very fine stock at $1.50 per dozen; $8.00 to $10.00 per 100.

Mention The Review wben too wnie men hydrangeas can be replaced, a thinjj that would have been impossible a few short years ago. The Eiverton Roses. There are educational opportunities in the rose trial grounds at Eiverton that are unequaled in this country; op- portunities both for the amateur, even in the kindergarten stage, and for the past master, through the wonderful col- lection of roses, old and new, and the systematic manner in which they are tried. Each variety is given a row or two to itself, with a distinct label. The manner of growth, time of flowering, freedom of bloom, health, habit, color, keeping quality and the many other points that go to make up the rose as we know it are there seen to the best advantage. Eobert Kift grew so en- thusiastic over the beauties in these trial grounds last week that he returned the next day, early in the morning when the roses were at their best, and pro- ceeded forthwith to perpetuate their charms with the aid of the camera. They are worth perpetuating, these roses at Eiverton, whether it be by photograph or by pen. Perhaps the pen is the better, for, unless the photo- graph be colored truly, not garishly, it gives little idea of the rose's chief beauty. The hybrid tea class is today of prime interest. There is activity in hybrids, but in hybrid teas the activity is tremendous. The number of varieties asking judgment as bedding or forcing sorts is increasing; the older sorts must be measured anew each year, to see that they maintain their standard of the past. Take, for instance, Gen. Mac- Arthur, a really fine bedding variety that missed its vocation, so to speal<, when sent out for a forcing rose.

Killarney, under the lavorable weather conditions, has more petals than ever before at Riverton, a point worth noticing for intensive cul- tiiie under glass. White Killarney has ^haped well as a bedding rose. Near them is Lady Hillingdon, a fair yellow tor outdoor growing, especially beauti- lul in bud. , , ijefore leaving the forcing varieties fi 1*^ ^'^teresting to glance at Mrs. Wake- neld Christie Miller, because it is as- sorted on tihe street that W. H. Elliott Jas worked up a stock of 12,000 for toicing next season. Mrs. Wakefield Vniistie Miller is a hybrid tea of pleas- >DS pink, shaded with pale pink on the outer petals; a large flower; the plants show vigor. A seedling under number — of Euro- pean origin, I think — is considered promising; it is a glowing carmine, with large flowers that last well in th*ir most beautiful form. Then there is George Dickson, a scarlet of sufficient promise to merit the unique honor of being named after the father of the great Newtownards growers. This va- riety seems, so far, to thrive better at home than here. A Dickson scarlet of the most wonderful keeping quali- ties brings a story from Mr. Eisele. The flowers were cut in the open field near Belfast in summer, taken to Dub- lin without special care, thence to Lon- don, at last placed in water during a couple of days ' stay in the English capi- tal, and finally, a triumph of keeping qualities, worn in the buttonhole in a city of the Belgians another day after- ward. Countess Mary of Ilchester is a good bedding rose, a variety that has at least one staunch follower among our enthu- siastic rose amateurs, for when at a loss how to fill out an order for named varieties, after putting in two of this and six of that popular sort, he always says, "Make up the balance with Countess Mary of Ilchester." Mr. Eisele thinks he must have several hun- dred Countess Marys on his lawn. There are ever so many others, each with a little story of its own, from King Edward at $4 per to M. Pierre Douset's latest introduction, but this little sketch will suffice to give an idea V...... 80 The Weekly Florists^ Review. JONB 20, 1912.

Success on novel lines is always admir- able. The success of the London Flower Shop is of more than ordinary interest. The manager was familiar with Scotch heather, its beauty, its possibilities and its difficulties. Scotch heather was placed in the window of the London Flower Shop on the opening day. Scotch heather has been a specialty there ever since. To Scotch heather the pros- perity of this attractive shop is due. A heather wedding, with bouquets of white heather and white orchids for the- bride and purple heather and purple orchids for the bridesmaids, was one of the triimiphs of the London Flower Shop. No one else in the city could furnish such bouquets, because exclusive privi- lege for this cpantly had been secured from the largest and probably the only grower of heather across the. water. Scotch heather blooms in July and August; it is then gathered, packed and shipped, arriving in this country about the middle of September. The supply is regulated by the advance demand, the nursery only cutting and shipping enough to fill orders, so it is a case of taking a chance or go without. The .beauty and sentiment — it is believed to bring good luck — attached to Scotch heather give it a foremost place among meritorious novelties in these days when originality in floral work means so much when combined with artistic skill and taste. Various Notes. J. J. Habermehl's Sons had many bouquets for the high school commence- ments last week, their uptown store vy- ing with the downtown in activity. Edward Reid is busily shipping.

"Walter Calvert is doing a thriving plant trade and all the greenhouses are being made ready for next season, without making any strikingly new de- parture from last year's plans. Richard Jennings is testing a few new mums from across the border and the grower at the Dale Estate is also trying his luck with some uncommon varieties from England. Stock of air kinds is becoming in- creasingly scarce at the Dale green- houses, and the end of this month will find bloom at an extremely low ebb. Planting is nearly finished, with the exception of the new houses, which are not yet ready owing to the rainy spring. The English footballers at the Dale Estate recently played a team from the Old Countrymen's Club and scored a famous victory with three goals to none. W. G. P.

The month of roses has ushered in a great number of brides and the florists have met the enormous demand for flowers delightedly, with a fine supply of all kinds of seasonable stock. Sev- eral prominent weddings called for elab- orate decorations, and numerous bou- quets are in demand for the less pre- tentious nuptials. Lily of the valley, white and pink roses and butterfly sweet peas are the favorites for ar- rangement in bouquets, and the florists have been kept hustling. In addition to this, the commencements of high schools and academies have created an immense demand for flowers. A notable fact in connection with this is that, while in previous years costly arm bou- quets have been ordered, this year's graduates are establishing the custom of wearing the corsage. The class of 1912 of the Fort Wayne High School has also adopted the wearing of the cap and gown at the commencement exer- cises. Eichmond roses, Killarney, val- ley and sweet peas stood high in the favor of the * * sweet girl graduates. ' ' Roses are of fine quality and the sup- ply of carnations is tremendous. But- terfly sweet peas are now at their best and these exquisite flowers are gaining more and more in popular favor each year. Coreopsis is of good quality and is coming in abundantly. The same is true of Easter lilies and Lilium aura- tum. The peony season is over. There are some fine greens on the market. The business in bedding plants has been splendid this year. There has been a shortage on geraniums in this locality, the demand being exceedingly heavy. Various Notes. A fine range of greenhouses is being erected in this city by Frank Knecht, foreman for a number of years at the Vesey plant. The houses are of the Foley construction. Five of them will be 27x145 and another 29x145. Mr. Knecht will grow principally roses, though two of the houses will be de- voted to carnations for the wholesale trade. He has the good wishes of his fellow tradesmen. Another plant under construction, which consists of four houses, each 27x100, is that of Herman Leitz, em- ployed for fourteen years by W. J. & M. S. Vesey. The houses are located ~r^; JOXgXXOXSXSK »Oi22 ■2a, ■«>!■ !■!■?■!■ APPCO Shipsafe Made it^Any Siize or Shape Desired. ■ -ff-HftMinrni FLORISTS will hail with delight this SHIPSAFE that not only delivers their cut flowers, design work, etc., in the pink of condition, but removes the necessity for icing in warm weather. We particularly invite inquiry from Florists who take pride in the safe and stylish delivery of their goods and keep abreast of the times. The APPCO SHIPSAFE is the highest priced corrugated fiber box produced, yet the small difference in original cost is more than justified by the security provided and the fact that icing is abolished.

Mr. Leitz has taken into partnership with him Mr. Herman, of New Haven, and the firm will be known as the New Haven Floral Co. The increasing demand for the Killar- ney rose has prompted the erection of two more rose houses by the Flick Floral Co. The houses are each 30 x 130, eight feet to the gutters and even- spanned. This firm, which does a whole- sale as well as retail business, is cutting a fine supply of all stock, but particu- larly roses and sweet peas. W. J. & M. S. Vesey have had a fine supply of hydrangeas, which sold well this season. They are cutting an abun- dance of all seasonable flowers, espe- cially orchids, for which this firm i?' noted. Mrs. L. E. Auger reports trade rush- ing during these June days, with wed- dings since the first of the month and just now orders for commencements. But with plentiful stock these rushing days are a real pleasure. Edgar Wenninghoflf has opened a new flower shop in this city, at 1005 Calhoun street.

NEW TOaX 48 The Weekly Florists' Review* JUNE 20, 1912. to the new pea districts in Idaho and Montana, but really the principal worry since planting has been about the hot weather the vines seems likely to strike at the critical stage. PEAS IN GALLATIN VALLEY. The seed pea crop of the Gallatin val- ley, in Montana, is promising. After a rather late spring, the weather has been quite favorable. With splendid rains, the germination has been good, produc- ing almost perfect stands. The acreage is considerably larger than last year. The 1911 crop was the first raised here, being grown by the Jerome B. Eice Seed Co. This year there have been planted about 33,000 bushels of seed, by the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., K. B. Keeney & Son, Everett B. Clark Seed Co., and the Peninsula Seed Co. Most of this has been planted in rows and is being cultivated. This will prove decidedly beneficial in securing a maxi- mum yield and insuring against loss in curing and handling weeds, leaving the land clean for the succeeding crops. The best land in the valley has been selected for this purpose and some large tracts have been planted to peas. The agents of the various companies, Mr. Brotherton, for the Jerome B. Eice Seed Co.; Mr. Eussell, for the N. B. Keeney & Son Seed Co.; Mr. Gregg, for the Peninsula Seed Co., and Mr. Froabe, for the Everett B. Clark Seed Co., have made large plantings, which promise to be decidedly profitable under expert management. Wm. A. Davis, of Bozeman, formerly agent for the Jerome B. Eice Seed Co., and who introduced the crop here last year, is growing 900 acres in rows. Thirty acres of this is selections made of single plants, mostly true types of stand- ard varieties, but some selections were made for hardiness in hot climates or for dry land cultivation. With an ideal climate and a variety of the richest soil, conditions are most favorable for growing all varieties of peas here and the industry is thought to have come to stay. The seed companies are securing warehouse facilities, the Jerome B. Eice Seed Co. having a ware- house 60x300 feet. Enough pea threshers have been or- dered to thresh the entire crop, and the products should be delivered to the seeds- men in exceptionally good condition. The industry has brought a large num- ber of Michigan people here, who are well pleased with the valley and will make it their home. Bozeman is known as the Sweet Pea City. This flower attains perfection here and a sweet pea carnival is held annually in August, this year August 28 and 29. A large planting of sweet peas has been made for seed purposes. A. C. Tracy. SPINACH IN HOLLAND. According to a correspondent of one of the English trade papers, writing from Groningen, Holland, spinach is a crop the growing of which ' ' has largely increased during the last few years, and thousands of acres of various kinds have been sowed this spring, and, also, owing to the high prices paid last autumn, many farmers are growing this crop at their own risk this year. The spinach has lately made a luxuriant growth, but many fields were plowed up in spring, being spoiled by wire worm.

POBTLAND, OBE. The Market. Sweet peas are now plentiful and of good quality. Carnations are arriv- ing in large quantities. Good outside flowers are also handled satisfactorily in the stores. Lily of the valley is hard to procure; there is not enough to go around and it is necessary to turn down some out-of-town orders. Outside roses are now in their glory and nearly all varieties are to be seen, though Testout takes the lead. The annual rose festival, which was held June 10 to 15, brought much ex- tra work for the florists, as thousands of roses and other flowers were used lor decorating automobiles for the street parades. Various Notes. Clarke Bros, have some fine orchids in their store, which are grown at their own greenhouses. Several thousand peonies were shipped from Eahn & Herbert's for Decoration day orders. Martin & Forbes supplied the palms and ferns for the Armory, where the annual rose show was held. The Portland Seed Co. had an "edu- cational exhibit" at the rose show, including different varieties of house plants, properly labeled. Visitors: C. T. Kipp, of the Spo- kane Florist Co., Spokane, Wash.; Mrs. L. W. McCoy, Seattle, Wash.; E. E. Eeimer, of Spokane; A. A. Hinz, of Tacoma, Wash.; W. S. Duncan, of Al- bany, Ore. A. A. VICTORIA, B. C. The Market. It is a pleasure to be able to say that trade is excellent. The weather is favorable. Flowers are plentiful enough to supply any demand and the prices are fair. Bedding stock of all kinds was short. This was not because of any decrease in the quantity grown, but was due to the increased demand. Judging from the number of small places that are springing up all around us, this state of affairs should be easily remedied next season. Indeed, there are some who say that, unless the present activity in real estate con- tinues, there will be a large surplus, with correspondingly low prices. To our eastern friends, who are used to a shorter season for outdoor bulb- ous stock, it might be of interest to say that one firm here commenced cut- ting Golden Spur daffodils in the gar- den January 15 and cut a steady suc- cession, finishing with May-flowering tulips. May 22. After a break of a week, the same firm is at this date, June 7, cutting Spanish irises, which are expected to continue until July 1. This was unusually early for daffodils here and was the result of an especially mild winter, with no frost to mention after November 20, when a few degrees of frost caught everything in full growth and did serious damage. The price received by the growers of outdoor bulbous flowers was only mod- erate, considering the high price of all commodities, labor included. Many splendid flowers were sold at $3 to $5 per thousand. In my estimation, this line is getting heavily overdone and I would certainly advise anyone who is thinking of starting this line here to investigate actual conditions, and not rely too much on the extravagant statements that are sometimes heard. Various Notes. Brown Bros, are seriously handi- capped on account of the unfinished condition of their new store, which was to be completed by May 1, but is not yet ready. Flewin's Gardens are making a spe- cialty of orchids. The manager, E. A. Wallace, considers conditions quite fa- vorable here for growing this class of stock. The output of flowers at pres- ent is limited, but he says that there is a ready sale for all he produces. A. J. Woodward has bought a 10- acre tract on one of the hills just outside the city limits and is building a fine residence on it. The tract has some splendid oak trees on it, that must be of a great age. It will be used by Mr. Woodward for residence purposes only. F. Bennett occupies the Ross Bay residence. F. B. IiOS ANGEI^S, CAL. The Market. Weddings and the usual work for school closing exercises have given quite an impetus to business, and the retailers have had about all they could do to keep pace with these orders and funeral work. A notable feature in connection with the school work is the greatly increased number of pretty little baskets sold. Several retailers made a point of showing the baskets, arranged with poppies, carnations, cen- taureas or some cheap yet attractive flower, in their windows, and these made a decided hit. On some days of last week it seemed that every third person one met on the streets was carrying flowers or wearing them, and the wearing of corsage bouquets was never more popular here than now. A moderate estimate places flowers sold during early June as at least double what were sold in the same time last year. Wholesalers say that the out-of- town shipping trade has been a little disappointing, but the home trade is fine and advance orders seem to fore- shadow better things in store. Gladioli are moving fairly well, but there are too many unsalable varie- ties. The popular America is the best seller, though the smaller varieties of the Colvillei section, especially Bride, are fine for working up into baskets and bouquets. Some of the carnations coming in are badly damaged by thrips. Sweet peas are not too plentiful and LOS ANGELES FLOWER HAItm Cha8. E. MoBTON. Mffr. 414)4 S. Broadway* Loa Anf^eleti, Cal.

Coreopsis, centaureas and the smaller outdoor flowers are plentiful and good. Valley is short in supply, but what is on hand is of good quality. Orchids are equal to the demand and some pretty forms of Cattleya Mossise and Gaskelliana are shown. Indoor roses have sold fairly well and, owing to the throwing out of stock by the growers, there is not an oversupply in the market. Greens are plentiful. Oak branches from the north are in, but there is little demand for them, while the new crops of wild greens check the sale of adiantum and other indoor varieties. Various Notes. Everyone in the trade was delighted to hear that our old friend, William Woods, had obtained the appointment as horticultural commissioner in place of the late A. R. Meserve. Mr. Woods' long service in the department, his knowledge of entomology as applied to Californian conditions and his will- ingness always to meet nurserymen and the trade generally half-way with regard to the work of his department, made him the only logical candidate. The Los Angeles Horticultural Society has worked for him right along and those who are apt to think that this society is of no benefit to the trade ought now to come out from under their shell and give credit where it is due. The treasurer, Charles Winsel, has worked indefatigably and never lost hope, even when things looked at their black- est and others gave up the struggle. Henry Kruckeberg and M. L. Germain are also to be commended for the earnest efforts put forward in behalf of Mr. Woods, Now that the struggle is over, it seems only necessary to say, "All's well that ends well." Tassano Bros, are handling large quantities of greens and have made ar- rangements for big supplies for the coming fall business. Mexican ivy is one of the leading specialties here. Fine Shasta daisies, gladioli and Iris Kaempferi are among the principal showings with S. Murata. He is well pleased with the way stock is moving. Wedding and other decorations form the bulk of the work at the Hill street store of J. W. Welters. A "To let" sign in the window of the old store on Fourth street seems to indicate that July 1 will about see the end of the Angelus Flower Store. Large quantities of orchids are now handl^ by the Los Angeles Flower Market, Mr. Morton having made ex- clusive arrangements with some of the largest shippers of these flowers to this city. During his recent trip north he visited San Francisco, Santa Bar- bara, Santa Cruz, San Jose and Bakers- field, and his friends will be glad to hear that he has quite recovered his health. Albert Knopf, of the Redondo Floral Co., reports extra heavy sales for school closings, especially in the way of baskets. Business generally is keep- ing up well here. Morris Goldenson is busy — fishing. The store force keeps on the jump with wedding and funeral orders. The store of the H. M. Gage Co. is a busy place these days, and June 12 came near breaking the records. The white agapanthus makes a nice change from the blue, and both are well shown here. Wedding orders form the biggest •jit'^iJiJ Pays To Pacific Coast Florists : What stock have you for sale to the trade? Is it moving as it should ? No?

Automobile thieves are plentiful in Los Angeles and Frank Lichtenberg missed his car from the Majestic theater building the other evening. He •was fortunate in finding it again a day or two afterward, little the worse for the trip to "Joyland" somebody had made. "Hole-in-the-wall" florists are giv- ing way to bootblacks and fruit sellers, several of them having retired from the field since Memorial day. H. K. Richards. SAN FBANOISCO. The Market. With the closing of the town schools and the scarcity of wealthy flower buyers in the city, there is little to mention in the line of trade. How- ever, there has been a fair line of wedding decorations, which have help- ed considerably and have been gen- erally distributed among the retailers. Funeral orders have not been as plenti- ful as they were a couple of weeks ago. The weather is all right, as the hot spell, apparently, has gone far away. Although flowers are not as plenti- ful as they were, there are still quan- tities to spare. Inside roses and car- nations are of better color and form than they usually are at this time, which can easily be traced to the cool weather. Dahlias and gladioli are more plentiful and are moving only fairly well. Sweet peas are not as long-stemmed as they have been and the public seems to be tiring of them. Lilium album and L. rubrum have made no change in prices. Ijongi- florum is somewhat cheaper. Spanish irises are over and the Japanese sorts have taken their places. The latter sell for much better prices and move well. Other kinds of outside stock are handled almost entirely by the street hucksters and the prices are not worth recording. VariouB Notes, John Wallace, superintendent of the nursery department of C. C. Morse & Co., has returned from a trip to Salt Lake City. W. R. Wood, of Roeding & Wood, Los Angeles, Cal., was in town for a few days. H. M. Sanborn, of the H. M. San- born Co., of Oakland and Berkeley, is on a vacation at Pacific Grove, Cal. Fred Howard, of Howard & Smith, Los Angeles, passed through town last week. W. W. Randall, of the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, is interviewing the local dealers in florists' supplies, etc. G. SEATTLE WASH. The Market. The flower business took a sud- den drop, as usual, after Memorial day, and now the stores are loaded with flowers and there is little demand for any of them.

LOOMIS CARNATION CO. D. F. RoDDAN uy and most of the people in the trade are having a decided rest. Various Notes. Several members of the trade vis- ited Portland for the rose carnival last week. E. Matraia has bought the entire in- terest in the store of the Paris Flo- rists, on Pike street. Eddie O'Neil, formerly with the Art Floral Co., is assisting him. Several friends of J. A. Sahle met at his place on Wednesday evening, June 12, to congratulate him on the anniversary of his natal day, and were liosjtitably entertained. The price of cucumbers still keeps up and tomatoes are out of sight. As money-makers the vegetables have the flowers beat to a frazzle here in the summer. Kalph Richardson is giving Buxton's carnations a rest these days and is clearing land on contract; the carna- tions are still growing. The bowlers are on vacation these days; duck pins are what the game has degenerated to now. Hollywood Gardens are getting their liouses planted with carnations. Miss Annie J. Burns is still in the east. Her sister, Miss Bessie, who is conducting the store during her ab- sence, says it looks as if there must be some considerable attraction back there. T. W. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLOEISTS. Trades' Exhibition at Convention. The trades' exhibition at the time of the convention of the Society of American Florists, at the Coliseum, Chicago, will surpass anything of the kind ever held. Exhibitors at former conventions are reserving much more space than in the past. Owing to the height of some of the exhibits of the greenhouse builders and dealers in boilers and heating ap- paratus, a slight change in the diagram was made necessary. Those interested 111 these lines may j)rocure a revised diagram of available floor space by ap- plication to the secretary. A special location has now been pro- vided for the exhibition of automobile delivery trucks, and this will be made •111 attractive feature of the show. Intending exhibitors in any of the glasses should not delay in sending 111 their applications.

Pllklng- ton, Portland, Ore. ; Sec'y, John Hall, Rochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. Thirty-eighth annual meeting, Portland, Ore., June, 1913. The Kirkman Nurseries Co., Fresno, Cal., has just invested $21,000 in two lots at Tulare and O streets, on which it will establish offices and city sales head- quarters. B. E. Gage and B. S. Gage, of Peter- son Nursery, Chicago, are making an au- tomobile trip, combining business and pleasure, through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. C. P. Hartley, Emmett, Idaho, is plan- ning to build a storage and packing house 40x300 feet and two stories high. It is needed for handling fruit as much as for nursery stock. The Pope County Nursery, of Potts- ville. Ark., is now owned and controlled by J. A. Eackley and W. A. Martin, who expect to have a fine stock of young trees ready for market in the coming season. It is stated that the nurseries at Boskoop, Holland, in the autumn of 1911 exported to the countries of continental Europe 577 carloads of nursery stock, and 500 carloads in the spring of 1912. In addition large quantities were ex- ported to England and to America. From Fruitland, Idaho, it is reported that Carnifex & Williams, proprietors of the Fruitland Nursery Co., have made a trade with Sargent & Burnet, orchardists, by which they have received thirty acres of young orchard north of Pleasant View in exchange for their nursery stock, which will be disposed of under the name of the firm by the summer of 1914.

At the session June 13 the report of the legislative committee was taken up and there was a general discussion of the proposed federal quarantine law, fed- eral inspection, and allied subjects. As usual, views as wide apart as the poles were shown. There was both denuncia- Thomas B. Meehan. (Presltlent-elect American Association of Nurserymen. JONE 20, 1912.

At length the whole matter was referred to a special committee and, next day, crystallized in the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That the report of the legis- lative committee on matters of federal legislation be accepted and that their endorsement of House Bill No. 24,119 be approved, and further, that the new legislative committee be instructed to co- operate with the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture in urging the speedy passage of the bill or any other bill not materially changing the provi- sions thereof. Local Hdspitalities. Not so many years ago the nursery- men's convention was a matter of busi- ness pure and simple, but the social fea- tures steadily are gaining ground. At Boston the local hospitalities were more elaborate than in any other year. June 12 over 350, including many ladies, were taken in autos for a drive through the parkways and a visit to Arnold Arboretum and Prof. C. S. Sargent's noted estate in Brookline. In the absence of Supt. J. A. Pettigrew, who is ill, James B. Shea, the assistant superintendent, piloted the party over the parkways. Jackson Dawson and E. H. Wilson showed the visitors through the arboretum. June 13 the Monitor, with a party of over 300, steamed to Pembe>ton, where a special train was waiting for the run to Nantasket beach, where a shore dinner was served in New England's best style and thoroughly enjoyed. June 14 the ladies were taken for a trip in autos over the route of Paul Revere 's ride. The local nurseries kept open house for the entire week. THE NUMBER OF VABIETIES. [A paper by S. Mendelson Meehan, of Dresher, Pa., read at the thirty-seventh annual convention of the American Association of Nurserymen, at Boston, June 12 to 14, 1912.] The question, "Should nurserymen grow more varieties?" if applied to each nurseryman individually, cannot be satisfactorily answered in general terms. It is well to have it introduced and discussed, but each man must study the conditions which confront him, and solve his own problem. There is a wholly different point of view for the wholesale and the retail grower, and also for the dealer; the mail order trade has its problems, distinct from those of others. The possibilities for variation are innumerable. It is on this basis of varying con- ditions that I emphatically declare nurserymen as a whole should grow more varieties, but I am just as strongly convinced that the individual nurseryman will find it most economical for himself, and more pleasing to his customers, if his list be of moderate length rather than long. Let it be clearly understood that my convictions are based wholly on an experience in the retail mail order busi- ness, having also a large local trade, such as is found in the suburbs of a large city. A different experience might bring additional views, which, as it is, I must leave for your dis- cussion. Fettered by Habit. One thing is certain; too many of us, regardless of the particular trade to «Ji_ June 20, 1912.

Scores of nurs- eries have for fifty years either con- tained or had knowledge of any num- ber of plants with sterling merits and of great interest, but in the demands of limited knowledge, and the race to keep up with the pace the other fellow has set, these valuable plants with un- told merits and attractiveness are se- curely locked up, perhaps for centuries. Individualizing a Business. I would not have anyone misunder- stand me. I do not mean to cry down those familiar plants which have been found necessary and profitable, but do not be tied down to them, and do not let them lead you to cut prices. If you cannot get profitable business for them without such methods, look elsewhere for your specialty — the plant you can grow better than others — the things that will individualize your business. Nor yet do I urge nurserymen to go to the extreme. Where there is so much ignorance about our goods, we must maintain a proper degree of conserva- tism. New or unknown plants must be faithfully described. A list that is in> creased must show a good reason for it. Confidence in the nurseryman must be established and he must take pains to deserve it. On lines such as these I feel I can safely repeat that nurserymen should certainly grow more varieties. DAYTON, O. The Market. The dull season in the florist business is supposed to be at hand, but as yet the Dayton florists have not felt it, as there have been a great number of June weddings to help things along. On the other hand, the "grim reaper" has done much to increase the sale of flowers, several of our most prominent citizens Laving died this month, thus creating un enormous demand for fu- neral flowers. Everything, from a lily down to candytuft, has sold exceedingly well. Another factor which increased business last week was the graduation demand. Combining all, Dayton florists can safely say that the trade for June thus far has been decidedly satisfac- tory. In the last few weeks longiflorum lilies have been quite scarce, but the auratums have been plentiful. Eoses and carnations fell short at times, when the demand got the best of them; red and white carnations were especially popular June 13, as they were the fa- vorite flowers for the graduates. Gallas are becoming scarcer every day, but stocks, cornflowers, mignonette, etc., sell well and are in good supply. Fancy ferns were hard to get last week. The plant trade is keeping up re- markably well this season; although there is quite a quantity of unsold bed- ding plants on hand, it looks as though the demand will continue long enough to use up most of them. Various Notes. Mrs. Chas. E. Pease, widow of the late Chas. E. Pease, who until the time of his death was president of the Miami Floral Co., passed away June 13, after a long illness caused by paralysis.

Cool, damp weather bad a depress- ing iufiuencc on the business of last week, and trade was rather slack com- pared with the busy month of May. Gardeu and landscape work is going on apace, however, and the cool weather has been beneficial to this phase of the business. Roses and car- nations also seem to have been bene- fited by the lack of warm days There are quantities of peonies on hand, but the cold has retarded some of the finest varieties and the price is still high. Killarney and White Kil- larney roses are unusually good for this time of the year. Taft roses are jjar excellence. Ward roses are quite small and short-stemmed. Richmonds and Beauties are scarce. Sweet peas are thinning out, as the indoor stock is becoming exhausted and the outdoor peas will not mature because of the cold wave. The few on hand are good, however. Valley is fine. There are some splendid gardenias and orchids now. Club Meeting. The last meeting of the Florists' As- sociation for the summer took place June 10. President John Dunbar was the speaker of the evening. His sub- ject was "Wilson's Explorations in China." Rochesterians should have a particular interest in Mr. Wilson's botanical work in China. Dr. Sargent has generously given to the board of park commissioners a large number of seedlings of the new trees and shrubs, duplicated from the collection made in China, and they are now growing in the park nurseries. Their development in the coming years will be watched with considerable interest. At the end of his second journey Mr. Wilson had collected between 5,000 and 6,000 speci- mens and he nearly doubled that num- ber in his last trip. Ornamentally the nurseries of the new and old worlds will be permanently enriched and com- merce will reap large benefits. Mr. Dunbar mentioned a tree found by Mr. Wilson that will yield rubber, and it is thought that it can be grown in the temperate zone. About fifty members of the associa- tion were present. The name of J. W. Keller, superintendent of Mount Hope cemetery, was put before the associa- tion for membership and was received favorably. Richard Salter, who made the trip to Los Angeles, Cal., with the Shriners, gave descriptions of the city parks he visited in the west. Various Notes. J. Michael Keller has returned from Detroit, where, in company with F. J. Keller and family, he had been spend- ing a few days. J. B. Keller Sons began closing their store at 6:30 p. m.

Continued cool weather has made this spring a record breaker for the florists of this city and it has been a long time since so much business has been done as has been handled in the last two months. While the bedding work and the like has been extremely heavy, and a good deal better than for the same period last year, the cut flowers are also holding their own and the demand has continued to hold up to date, with no let-up in sight. Conse- quently, every florist in the city is pushed for tinie and, despite the fact, everyone is wearing the smile that de- notes satisfaction with the conditions. The only drawback at present is the inability to get first-class stock in ship- ments. Carnations and roses lack the quality that is necessary to bring good prices and in white roses one finds it almost impossible to get first grade stock, which, in face of a good demand, is rather perplexing. Weddings started in with the first day of June and there has been considerable work in this line ever since. School closings also have figured in increasing the demand for bouquets and with the last day of school, June 14 in the public grade in- stitutions, an unusually busy day kept everyone on the run. Decoration day was as good as Bacine has bad in a long time and large quantities of stock were moved. Various Notes. The Eacine Floral Co. is permanently located at 219 Sixth street, having moved from the Main street location. They report an unusually heavy de- mand for wedding bouquets and Amer- ican Beauties. Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Lassen, 952 Washington avenue, are celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the found- ing of their business, which was started by J. P. Brundahl, Mrs. Lassen's fa- ther, who was laid to rest three years ago. Clark E. Adams says that the weather has been everything in favor of the florist this year and that in putting out bedding plants the absence of hot weather made it easier to transplant, it not being necessary in most cases to use any cover protections. Mr. Adams states that most of the bulbous stock and young nursery stock were killed by the cold weather last winter. Little Bock, Ark. — W. J.

Our local conditions are far from satisfactory as far as the retail business is concerned. The wholesale market is about the same as last week, with the exception, perhaps, of carnations, which are much better in quality but sell at lower prices, good stock being worth from 1 to 2 cents. If the quality im- proves under the cool weather, the prices may advance. Roses are much in evidence; the quality is fair and prices are good. Good or fancy stock sells fast. Killarneys show fine color, but Maids are just the opposite. Beau- ties are still plentiful and good, with prices fair. The present cool weather gives much encouragement in this line. Maryland and Melody are poor in qual- ity and many of them are railroaded to the dump. A new crop of sweet peas is in and the butterfiy sorts look fine. Local growers are giving much attention to these flowers, as they please both the retailer and his customers. Lilium giganteum is plentiful, of fine quality, and brings good prices. Valley is abun- dant, with large bells and bright foliage. Plants are moving fast, but the prices are only fair, though the quality, on the average, is fine. More business is ex- pected and being prepared for in this department. Ferns seem to attract AFTER DECORATION DAY you have empty houses. Will it pay you to keep them empty?

Local growers say that the planting business this year is without doubt the best in many years. Various Notes. Vacation seems to be much in every- one's mind. On Monday, June 24, F. Fromhold, of the W. L. Rock Flower Co., goes north to the lakes for a three weeks' stay. Sidney Miller and Nelson .Tennison, of the same firm, leave for vacation at the same time. H. Kusik & Co. report the largest shipment of the year in Beauties and carnations. This firm is moving lots of wire work. Arthur Newell is exceedingly busy these days, but finds time to visit the store occasionally. The new store is a great success and everyone there seems to be busy. Miss Murray reports a heavy run of funeral work last week, including an especially handsome casket cover and many floral designs. The Summerfield Floral Co., of Springfield, Mo., was a heavy buyer in the local market last week. The W. L. Rock Flower Co. was burned out of its store, at 1116 Walnut street, Sunday morning, June 16. The firm is moving out the remaining fix- tures. The damage amounts to about $300.

Among the worst suflferers was the Lin- wood Floral & Nursery Co., which lost some large plate glass and a lot of plants. Much interest is being manifested in the idea of organizing a florists ' club. The majority are in favor of it. A few, however, are opposed to it as a matter of principle, saying that we are getting along nicely under the present system, but these are only a few. A meeting is JOHN SCOTT Butland Boad and ■« 4Stli St., BROOKLYN, N. Y. Pahss, Ferns sDeGoratimPlaiits Mention The Rerlcw when yon write. to be called within ten days, for organ- ization.

Flowers of all kinds are in great abundance and the demand is good. Numerous weddings and funerals have been keeping all the florists busy of late. The weather has been warm and the lack of rain began to have its effect on all outside stock, but several days ago we had some rain and June 17 we received plenty of it. Various Notes. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. keeps busy as usual. This firm has a large supply of seasonable plants and cut flowers. Julius Niednagel & Sons are kept busy right along. They are cutting lots of roses of good quality. C. L. Niednagel is rushing to comple- tion his two houses and expects to have them planted by July 1. He will plant one house to American Beauty and the other to Killarney. It will take about 4,000 Beauties and 4,500 Killarneys. Ben Kramer reports business good in his new location, across from the C. & E. I. depot. He is getting some transient trade, but doesn't expect much at this season. He still holds all of his old trade. J. C. Elspermann has been having lots of work for weddings and funerals and June 17 had an extra large number of floral designs to make up. Henry Seymour is getting his share of the trade. He is replanting his car- nation houses, and the plants are in fine condition. Paul Halbrooks and family, of Colum- bus, O., is here on a visit with relatives and friends. He came through in his automobile and had a pleasant trip. He ha.s bought some greenhouses and busi- ness near a cemetery at Newark, O., and will take possession August 1. E. L. F.

PROVIDENCE. The Market. June weddings greatly accelerated business in this vicinity last week and roses and sweet peas were much in demand. The florists usually count on a big month during June, on account of the large number of weddings, com- bined with the graduations of the nu- merous educational institutions. This year, however, many of the schools voted not to have floral presentations and in consequence this usually lucra- tive feature was eliminated. The season has been a peculiar one as regards weather conditions, there having been as yet no settled warm days. Wednesday and Thursday nights; June 12 and 13, frosts were reported in many localities throughout the state and several of the growers report dam- age to their field stock. There is a good supply of all kinds of cut flowers, and prices are now at the normal scale. Various Notes. The town of Westerly has made a spe- cial appropriation of $100 for the spray- ing of trees against the ravages of the elm beetle. A. T. Bunyard, of Forty-eighth street and Fifth avenue, New York city, has opened his store on Belvidere avenue, Newport, for the season and removed his family to that city for the summer. Charles Hunt has purchased a new touring car. L. D. Bryant, representing A. H. Hews & Co., of Cambridge, Mass., was a recent visitor in this city. A number of the flol-ists of this city and vicinity attended the funeral of George A. Johnston June 11. There were a number of floral tributes. Edward Brooks, of T. J. Johnston & Co., has been spending a few days with relatives at Oak Bluffs, on Martha's Vineyard. Joseph Leikens, who for many years conducted a branch of his florist busi- ness on Bellevue avenue, Newport, has disposed of it to his manager, Karl Kammann, and Herbert Crowley, the latter formerly of Newport. Mr. Leikens has numerous interests which compel his presence in New York city. W. H. M. Geneseo, 111.— The Hill Floral Co., after occupying for several years a store in the Waite building, has re- moved to the John Dedrick building, on State street, where there will be much more space and much better business facilities. The firm will fit up part of the space in the form of attractive rest rooms for visitors.

Alden Davis, florist at Forest park, delivered an in- teresting address, with stereopticon il- lustrations, at a recent meeting of the Springfield Amateur Horticultural So- ciety, in Blake hall. His subject was landscape gardening, with special ref- erence to the work of the competitors in last year's gardening contest. Presi- dent A. J. Griffin was in the chair. Syracuse, N. Y. — At a recent meeting of the Market Growers' Association of Central New York, with President Ed- ward Arnts in the chair, an advisory board was appointed and was instructed to name committees which will work for the improvement of conditions af- fecting the gardeners' business. One of the objects in view is an investiga- tion of the factors that control the markets. Pekin, 111. — Geo. A. Kuhl had a wed- ding recently and used the muff for the bride to carry, which proved to be effective. In contrast to that, the bridesmaids' bouquets were made of pink sweet peas with long streamers of chiffon. The bower was made of south- ern huckleberry and decorated with marguerites; also a large bell of mar- guerites hung from the center of the bower, with a background of palms and ferns. Clinton, Mass. — Alfred T. Meredith, for sixteen years gardener at the Na- thaniel Thayer estate, at Lancaster, has purchased the florists' business of Edward W. Breed, in this city. Mr. Meredith will associate with him his son, A. P. Meredith, who has been employed in Mr. Breed's office depart- ment for the last nine months. The Merediths will also retain other mem- bers of Mr. Breed's force. Mr. Breed has thus disposed of one department of his business in order to devote his entire attention to his landscap|e and nursery departments. He will reside, as before, at his home on Prescott street, will have his office in "Worcester and will continue the nursery at the Four Ponds, in Lancaster.

SuBSCEiBEES 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. DEPRESS THE BOILEB. We have two greenhouses, adjoining each other. One is 16 x 45 and the other 28 X 70. There are two 3-inch flows under the ridge and five 2-inch returns on the side posts in the larger house, and one 3-inch flow and foyr 2-inch re- turns on each side wall in the smaller house. The boiler is sectional. There are twelve sections and the boiler is rated to heat 2,300 feet of 4-inch pipe. The boiler is in a pit, but the top of it is about two feet higher than the lowest return pipes. The highest point of the system is over the boiler, but we cannot get satisfactory results, or enough heat for our Illinois climate. The water boils near the boiler, but does not cir- culate satisfactorily. Will it be neces sary to sink the boiler deeper, or what can be the matter! How much fall is necessary in 70-foot flows? S. & M. The simplest manner of piping a greenhouse is to have the top of the heater lower than the lowest part of the returns. To bring this about, it may be necessary to sink the heater, but if the arrangement of the heating coils is such as to make it possible to raise them, this will probably be the POCAHONTAS COAL SALES CO.

The slope of the pipe seed only be enough to free it from air, and one inch in twenty feet will often answer, if the pipes are accurately leveled. In the larger house the radiation is only sufficient for 50 degrees in a cen- tral Illinois climate. If a temperature of 60 degrees is desired, three 2-inch pipes should be added to the returns in the larger house. The heater is fifty per cent larger than is required. F. R. THE COAL MABKET. The coal trade, like some of the progressive ones in the florists' busi- ness, finds it desirable to push during the dull summer season, to open new channels of sales to keep the machin- ery of the trade in operation all the year around. The aoal men do not have the advantage that the florist has, that what he sells today he can sell over again day after tomorrow — if a man lays in his season's supply of coal in summer he cannot be sold again BET WISE TO THE FACT You Will Save Coal by installing The MaA>tin Rocking; (}rate.

Still, the coal man find's it an advantage to get summer sales; so great an advantage, even, that he makes special low prices to his summer customers, though those customers would be compelled to pay the higher winter prices if they were encouraged to procrastinate.

Also, the landlords know the advan- tages of summer buying, so that the market is steadier than it used to be.

Will you kindly state the amount of piping that will be necessary to maintain the proper temperature when the outside temperature is 15 de- grees below zero! E. C. S. The question does not give a suffi- ciently definite idea of the house, and it makes considerable difference how high the walls are and how much glass they contain. If the walls are not more than five feet high and contain no glass, the house can be heated by means of three 2%-inch flows and twelve 2-inch re- turns, using hot water, or one 2%-inch flow and ten 1^-inch returns, using steam. • With two and one-half feet of glass in each wall, two additional re- turns would be required. The amount of pipe required for hot water heat would be 300 feet of 2%- inch and 1,200 feet of 2-inch. For steam the amount would be 100 feet of 2^-inch and 1,000 feet of li4-inch. If there is as much as two and one-half feet of glass in each side wall, 200 feet more of pipe will be required. PITTSBUEGH. The Market.

The more you investigate the m«re sure it is that you'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- ially for greenhouse ^ork after a close study of what was needed. It is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but —more flues give more heat ; more flues require less fuel ; the water heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller.

It is a sign of the times when all of the wholesale houses are sending the first installment of their help on their vacations. A. Heitzer and his son, of Massillpn, O., were visitors last week. Henry C. Knauff, 2518 East street, in the heart of the city, is not a florist, but is an enthusiastic member of the Florists' Club and has a flower garden more worthy of mention than anything seen by the writer in years. De Forest Ludwig, who has just re- turned from Cornell, is putting his sev- eral years' study into practice on the farm of the E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., in which he is interested. Harvey Sheaf, manager for Mrs. E. A. Williams, is taking a short vacation in the east. Ed McCallum is an enthusiastic' canoeist. He went up the Allegheny river Saturday, June 15, for a float down on Sunday, and came through three electric storms, with the heaviest rain he ever saw. Miss Jane McDowell, the successor to Agnes L. Wells, at Steubenville, O., has gone to Holland Springs, O., for a rest. The Misses Forbes & Donahey, of •Wheeling, W. Va., are in Chicago and expect to attend the Republican con- vention, where they will represent the West Virginia suffragettes. Hoo-Hoo. The Ludwig Floral Co. has been in- corporated, with a capital of $20,000. Incorporators: J. W. Ludwig, Gustav Ludwig and Gilbert P.

Cuneo, the Eailroad avenue florist, is planning to build a greenhouse on property owned by the Cuneo family on Water street.

MILWAUKE£'S LEADING PLANT, CUT FLOWERAND FLORIST sumy ^ HOUSE^ WASHINGTON. The Market. While there has been quite a demand for funeral pieces and brides' and com- mencement bouquets, business condi- tions have hardly improved over the other weeks of the month. There is a fair demand for American Beauty roses, but what is wanted is long-stemmed stock, and of this class there is not any too much coming in. The local Killar- ney roses appear to be poor. These are hanging fire while the eastern Kil- larneys are moving well. Now that the weather is warming up. My Mary- land is appearing in fine form and is more in demand even than Killarney, good stock bringing up to $10 per hun- dred. Commencement exercises have strengthened the demand for sweet peas considerably. Water lilies are not sell- ing well. Good peonies are being picked up at $6 per hundred in hundred lots, the price on smaller quantities being slightly higher. The demand for cat- tleyas is considerably heavier, with the result that the first of this week found the market a bit shy. Indoor valley is in good demand, but greens are hanging fire. Various Notes. Charles T. Yancey, of South Boston, Va., was a visitor here last week. Frank Duggan, with Eickards Bros., New York, visited this city to partici- pate in the convention of the Knights of Columbus. Mrs. Dauphin, wife of L. Dauphin, of Dauphin Bros., Falls Church, Va., is re- ported to be slightly improving in health. Elmer C. Mayberry has so far recov- ered from the effects of his recent acci- dent as to be able to again attend to his business. J. A. Phillips is visiting relatives and friends in Toledo, O., where he will remain for about six weeks. Miss Margaret Boyle, who operates a Center Market stand for her father, John Boyle, is again able to attend the market. A good time may be expected July 24, when the Florists' Club will hold its annual outing at Chesapeake Beach. A number of athletic events are being planned, including a ball game between the members of the club and a Masonic organization which holds a similar event on this date. Suitable prizes are to be given the winners in each contest. There is a movement on foot in the Center Market to place all of the flower stands on one aisle. Mr. and Mrs. William F. Gude en- tertained a large gathering of florists, their families and friends, on the beau- tiful lawn which surrounds their home at 3800 New Hampshire avenue, Pet- worth, D. C, on the evening of June 13. The grounds were gaily decorated with lanterns and American flags. Roe Fulkerson made the speech presenting to ex-President Mayberry a handsome set of silver knives and forks in a ma- hogany case. Eefreshments were served Metropolitan Material Co.

In all, nearly 250 persons were present. C. L. L. You careful buyers of benches— look you. Here is a ^ood one. It has three kinds of goodness— v. 1— The goodness of the materials. 2— Tile goodness of its simplicity or ease of erection. 3— Its goodness of lasting. The sides, bottoms and cross pieces are cypress— not pecky, or sappy cypress, mind you, but the same kind William Nicholson, of South Framing- ham, Mass. , put in his benches twelve years ago— and the benches are still in splendid condition. The sides are braced by a piece of wrought iron bolted to the bottom. The legs are pipe set in holes bored in the cross piece. A little concrete footing holds them in place. A good bench— an economical bench. Send for price. Lord and Burnham Co.

It is only one of the many types of engines and pumping unilswKiSr** manufacture, and it is this adaptability to practically every use that has made possible the important reductions of price now quoted on all Standard equipment. This engine, which formerly sold for $110.00, now costs only $86.00, with complete equipment, but regardless of price Standard Engines and pumping units will always be found the best for florists and gardeners, because for many years we have made a special study of the requirements of this trade.
