The Rorists' Review 9 THE RETAIL FLORIST fW?^.(s^<*^'^^^-^^^''^^-^^^-^^^ BETAZL ADVEBTISma. There are few among the retail florists who have made more successful use of newspaper advertising than has Penn, of Boston. This store has been advertised, in the leading Boston daily, extensively and persistently for several years. The results have justified the expenditure. The manager of the Penn advertising has got down to facts. He does not place his business in a paper because he is urged to do so — the papers are se- lected to reach the greatest number of readers at the minimimi of cost — ^no re- tail flower store can afford to pay for small or duplicate circulations. Claims of solicitors count for nothing; circula- tion must be authenticated. Penn 's places great importance on copy. Original cuts are used and the reading matter is prepared with much care, to convey to the reader in few words and to the point just what is offered for sale. Penn's say: "We have studied the effect of featuring one particular thing in an ad and have found that the public will not only call for that article but ask for it in much the same words used to describe it in the ad, which is abso- lute proof that advertising pays. In fact, we lay most of our success of last season to our advertising and shall do still heavier advertising all through the present season." DESIGNED ADVERTISEMENTS. Among the old school of high class retail florists there still is a feeling that advertising in the newspapers is incom- patible with the tone the florist seeks to maintain. It is an outgrown notion in so far as the younger element is concerned. The progressive generation in the trade recognizes that no loss of dignity or standing comes from the use of suitable advertisements — quite the contrary, the reputation of the best of stores may be enhanced through appro- priate advertising. No experienced advertising man would recommend a high class florist to use the ' * 19-cents-per-bunch-f or-violets ' ' class of advertising. Bargain prices are for the advertising of the store that caters to the transient trade. This is the class of advertising which brings the most immediate and direct returns. But beneficial general publicity can be obtained for the stores which cater to the best element in any community by using designed advertisements. By designed advertisements the advertising fraternity means advertisements which are prepared through the use of the artist's brush and pencil, rather than those executed by the typesetter. Fre- quently just the right effect can be produced by a combination of the two. The Hayward Floral Co., Los Angeles, t^j autumn been running a series Of designed advertisements in the lead- ing local daily. One of these is repro- duced herewith, considerably reduced in size, to give an idea of the character of display. These advertisements make no direet offer, and no direct return is to be expected. But the stimulating qualities of the advertising have been easily apHirent in the increased busi- ness. WOSCAK IN THE FIX>WEB TRADE. [An easay by Miss Emma Banmer, of Lonla- Tllle, awarded second prize in a contest conducted by the Kentncky Society of FIorlBts.] In using the word "woman" in the title of this essay, I mean any female who goes into a flower store to earn a living. There are many advantages and per- of it, I shall confine myself to that end of the business entirely. Like a woman, I do not exactly know how to start a paper of this kind, but will be- gin by telling some of the qualifications required in order to be successful. Some Necessary Qualifications. First, the woman florist must be healthy. Even if I do believe that plants and flowers help to improve the health and keep it in good condition, yet if one is weak or sickly one cannot stand the moisture that is naturally connected with our business or the ex- treme nervous strain that is so often experienced in the rush times.- Second, one should be even-tempered and without that system known as "nerves," for as sure as you easily lose hold of your temper or let your- self know that you have nerves, you will be sure to go to pieces when under some unusual strain incident to the business. Third, one must be diplomatic, for there are many times when we must not appear to realize what we hear or know what we see. Fourth, one should have a good '■ ■ II ■■■•> w^..r «■ ^— ^wr^w *«fta(teB*<%iwl^i5»<|fo».«*w^^ (IpecUU- ROSBS toidv jsadorspr yentmient^ r lowers •''■ /' ^-O ^•'^ '* '• .,,^~' ■ '■■r' / >- , -■;> f. •■..♦.

As my experience in this business has been obtained entirely in the retail store end memory; or, in other words, should be a good saleslady, for in this business, as in any other where art enters into the work, the ordinary or general cus- tomer depends much on the saleslady's opinion or advice, and if your first ef- V 10 The Florists' Review January 2, 1913. fort to sell to a customer has pleased her, \nd if she comes in again and you can tell her what she had before and suggest something different, the sale is more easily made. Fifth, there must be willingness to work, for the nature of our business demands that our hours be uncertain, that the day's work cannot always be- gin at a certain hour and that you can- not always stop at the same time. Sixth, one must be a true lover of nature's beauties, to be able to work among them with success, for without that love one cannot give to the flowers that delicate attention they require. Some Advantages. There are many other qualifications required, but I trust the discussion will bring them out. Now for a few of the advantages in retail store work. First, the work is refining, as in none of its branches is there anything coarse, degrading or offensively sug- gestive about it, but the flowers them- selves are only suggestive of the great- our artistic taste and creative ability, for at the numerous present-day func- tions at which flowers are used, one must be able to suggest and create the artistic arrangements that are suitable. Fourth, the work never becomes monotonous, because of the fact that the supply and variety of flowers are constaittly changing, as also is the manner \of arrangement. This fact proves the\ necessity of continuous study and reading upon the part of the successful female fldwer worker, so as to keep up with the progress of our business. There are also many other advan- tages, but the discussion will disclose them. Now for the disadvantages. Some Disadvantages. First, the uncertainty of the working hours, for one can never be certain what the day will bring forth, and as they will not detain a funeral or let a train wait until the florist can con- veniently bring his materials, it is up to the florist to get the work out on Miss Emma S. Baumer. ness of the Creator, who could give us so many beautiful and interesting specimens of plant life. Second, while the work of selling, in this business as in any other, is bound to bring you into contact with some customers known to us as "V^W ye* it brings us into contact with more good, rifined, well educated and agree- able people than otherwise. Third, our work brings forth all ot the time demanded, no matter what dis- comforts, strains or unreasonable hours it brings to the working force. Second, the fact that one cannot en- joy a holiday, or even Sunday, in the same manner as people in other lines of business. We all know that the larger and more sacred the day, the harder we have to work in our business. Third, the wearing on one's nerves from the fact that much of our work must be done under an extreme nervous strain. This peculiarity of the work makes it necessary for a florists' woman not to have "nerves." As I am not a boss but have always worked under one, I cannot from experience say so, but from observation I know this is especially necessary in a lady boss, for I am sure that the natural worry incident to managing & business, and this unnatural strain that it is so often necessary to exert to get all or- ders out properly and on time, are most • destructive to the nerves. Fourth, the dampness that one is always working in. Fifth, at certain times, the disagree- ableness of handling the cut flowers. By this I mean that when business is slack and flowers begin to accumulate for several days or until the stems begin to decay, then the flowers, espe- cially such flowers as chrysanthemums, dahlias, bulbous stock and many of the soft-wooded outdoor stock, become, in plain language, "nasty" things to handle. Sixth — and this is a really serious disadvantage for a woman — she cannot possibly keep pretty hands if she is compelled to work with roses and their thorns, which keep the hands all pricked up, or with the many varieties of flowers that discolor the skin of the hands. There are many other disadvantages, but as I have already talked longer than a woman usually does, I will leave it to the discussions to bring out the others. THE CLEBK SHOULD KNOW— That he is never too old to learn. "^ That his employer's success is his success. That his advancement depends en- tirely upon his own individual efforts. That success is never attained with- out hard work. That he will never get something for nothing. That he need never be ashamed to do for his employer what he would have others do for him. That he is not paid merely for his presence, but" for his work — and is judged accordingly. That it is his efforts and not his in- fluence which brings promotion. That persistency, consistency and in- tegrity are the three virtues of success. That if he gives his best to his em- ployer, the best possible comes back to him in skill, training, shrewdness, acu- men and power. That no customer wants to trade with a clerk who does not know the business. That the clerk who accomplishes most is the one who makes the least fuss about it. That politeness pays the biggest dividends. That the individual who is too lazy to do a thing will flnd plenty of excuses for not doing it. That many a man loses his oppor- tunity by slightiner his work. That a real salesman is one part talk and nine parts judgment, and that he uses the nine parts of judgment to tell when to use the one part of talk. iDv,^*^®'^^*'^' la.— Frank Schebeck and t-hil Mahoney have erected a green- house, 30x150, in the Meadowdale addi- tion, and will grow vegetables. January 2, 1913 The Horists' Review A Large Table for a Luncheon, Decorated Exclusively with Mrs. Jardine Roses. DECORATING A LABGE TABLE. When a large luncheon party is to be seated at Qne table, the florist has be- fore him decorative opportunities not possible where the space is more re- stricted. The accompanying illustra- tion shows a luncheon decoration by John Mangel, Chicago, in the French room of the Blackstone hotel, where the guests, numbering twenty-four, were all at one table. The center was occupied by a tall vase arising from a center- piece. At each end of the table there was a small basket of flowers trimmed with ribbon. The guests all were women, and at each plate a corsage bouquet was placed, consisting of a half dozen fine flowers tied with a rib- bon to match. The only flowers used on the table were Mrs. Jardine roses. The use of the tall vase was most happy; it relieved an otherwise flat ef- fect and, at the same time, the thin- stemmed vase carried the decoration above the eyes of the guests. It never IS desirable to destroy the view across the table by a decoration which can neither be seen over nor seen under. CALIFORNIA RESTRICTIONS. Regarding the experience of W. E. Johnston, of Nevada City, Cal., having a shipment of galax leaves destroyed by the Commissioner of Horticulture on the claim that they were infested with white fly, we had a similar experience with a shipment of Ficus pandurata to that state. The shipment was refused entry and destroyed upon our unwilling- ness to pay transportation charges for Its return, although quite free from that insect aforementioned, or any other. We have never noticed the Ficus pan- durata, or any other variety, infested with white fly. Conceding the right of a state to guard against the entry of any injurious insect pests, we consider the California regulations rather harsh. To bar certain plants which are known to be breeding places for injurious in- sects would be no more than right, but those which upon examination by horti- cultural experts are found free from injurious insects and their larvae, ought to be allowed to enter. The white fly is not confined to the southern states; greenhousemen at northern points have their troubles with them also. We have often received plants infested with them. Of course they increase in our milder climate much more rapidly than in a colder locality. We would advise any florist receiving orders from that state to inquire if entry will be allowed before making shipment, in order to avoid loss. New Orleans, La. Abele Bros. THE S. A. F. CONVENTIONS. First and last, the S. A. F. is a busi- ness organization. It should adjust its convention program so that all topics relating to given subjects will occur on given days. One subject that merits discussion is "Credits and the Credit System," as especially applied to flo- rists. We should also consider the ap- pointment of an arbitration board to adjust matters between florists when disagreements arise; let us eliminate the jury and lawyers and sensibly ad- judicate matters in which florists un- derstand the ups and downs. This could be made a good feature of the S. A. F.'s work. If the local societies, in the cities where the conventions are held, want to spend money, why not use that money toward a big midsummer show? A show worthy the name could be given. A special showing of table decorations, vasing, baskets, etc., would aid in building up a higher and more artistic taste and demand among the florists, so that the money spent in connection with the convention would be an investment rather than a burden. We should be independent, pay our way and leave the meeting place bet- ter than we found it. Are we using the S. A. F. meetings to our best advantage? Wherein are our weaknesses and how would they best be eliminated? Are we choosing men with the best ideas for our officers and directors! One should not forget that a hard-headed business man may make and save money and yet be bar- ren of ideas and up-to-date initiative. Let us now start the ball a-rolling, to the end that florists and those in the allied trades may all be bettered by it. Among other things, the florists, seeds- men, nurserymen and orchardists should have a co-working organization, by means of which any legislation inimical to our common interests would be fought and reasonable legislation would be secured. Let us make the S. A. F. and the florists' trade as up-to-date as other businesses. Let us end the cutting of prices, which lands so many in the bankrupt courts. It might not be amiss to consider the question whether the charging of high prices at Christ- mas and other dates is not a foolish practice. Is it to our best interests? Let us all hope that "Progress" shall be our watchword for 1913. C. Betscher. TROUBLE WITH CYCLAMENS. I have a lot of cyclamens in 3-inch pots, with nice tops and good color, showing buds. I would like to know what to feed the plants with to make them grow more steadily; they seem to have not enough roots for the size of the tops. Should I shift them into 5- inch pots after I feed them a while? I should like to have them in bloom in February and March. C. F. B. It is now getting late to shift the cyclamens for flowering at the date named. I would prefer to feed them well in their present pots, or, if you want to shift them, give them 4-inch pots. Any potting should be done at once. If you do not pot them, feed once a week with weak cow manure water, or use one of the highly concen- trated chemical fertilizers like Imperial Plant Food, Clay's Fertilizer or Bon Arbor, dissolving these in the water at the strength advised on tlie packages. Grow the plants cool and airy to hold them in good condition until the time you want them in flower. C. W. 12 The Florists^ Review JANDABT 2, 1918. WOI.FE OF WACO. The firm, Wolfe the Florist, Waco, Texas, consists of T. J. Wolfe, Mrs. M. V. Wolfe and E. A. Wolfe. The accompanying illustration shows a por- tion of their greenhouse establishment, which is one of the largest in Texas. Although located in the heart of Texas, this is a Chicago establishment. The material for the greenhouses was turned out in two Chicago material mills, and there are two Kroeschell boilers in operation. The illustration shows only half the establishment. It was begun in a mod- est way, the first house being only 10x12. Later two houses 20x60 were added, which sufficed for twelve years, until the death of the founder, James Wolfe. When T. J. Wolfe, his oldest son, took charge he rebuilt the green- houses, two structures each 20x80. The following year he added two more, each 20x120. The next year he built" six houses, each 21x125. These were fol- lowed by the last addition shown in the illustration, five houses 35x135 and one house 20x135. Since the picture was made another house 50x135 has been put up for Asparagus plumosus. A general line of stock is grown, mostly for the retail trade, principally chrysanthemums, roses, carnations and bedding plants. Mr. Wolfe 's sister and partner runs the store, and her abili- ties as a maker of designs and bouquets are known all over Texas. (SD i « r ac ac ac SEASONABLE j^ 1| ^ ^ SUGGESTIONS $ Marguerites. Up to the present time the flowers produced on marguerites grown for producing cut flowers have been some- what small and short-stemmed, but that they are popular in the markets is evidenced by the fact that even these sell quickly at satisfactory prices. From January onward the flowers will increase in size and will come with better stems. Where stock is planted out in beds or benches, few flowers will be produced in midwinter as compared with those which are in pots or boxes. I find it a good plan to grow the plants in fairly large pots and allow them to root through the bottoms into the benches. This gives them some addi- tional root run and materially improves the quality of the flowers. Do not grow the marguerites too warm; a tem- perature of 50 degrees at night is suitable. Plants wanted for Easter should not be pinched after the early part of January, and any potting needed should be done then. Give them a rich soil. Ram the soil firmly and be sure to leave a liberal space for water, as mar- guerites are notoriously thirsty subjects and it is hardly possible to overwater them. The present is a good time to root a good batch of cuttings to pro- duce plants which will sell well in April and May. Marguerites are rapid grow- ing plants and it will probably be found necessary to give plants for Easter and later sales a fresh stand once a fortnight. Do not overlook Queen Alexandra and Mrs. Sander among whites. Both are good. Keep a close watch for leaf -miners ,on the foliage. If any appear, remove and burn the affected foliage and spray the plants twice a week with nicotine, tak- ing care to damp every part of the foliage. In the case of badly affected stock it will be advisable to destroy it. If you do not want to do this, dip the heads in a tub containing some one of the tobacco extracts. Keep the plants immersed a full minute. I find this kills a large part of the leaf-miners, which often so seriously disfigure the foliage. • Lilium Speciosum. Where any planting of Lilium speciosum has been planned outdoors and the ground has been mulched to exclude frost, the present month is the best in the whole year to get the bulbs in. Be sure not to use any fresh manure about them. Plant nine or ten inches deep and cover the bulbs with sand. After planting, mulch with straw or leaves. I like to loosen the ground to a depth of two feet where these lilies are to go. Then there is a certainty of good results. The large and showy L. auratum should also be planted now. If the ground is frozene tightly and it is not possible to plant out any of the lilies, the best plan is to set them singly in 5-inch or 6-inch pots, according to size of bulbs, and carry them over winter in a coldframe or cellar, planting them out when frost has left the ground and taking care to cover them several inches deeper when doing so. To precede these outdoor lilies, pot up a good batch, using 8-inch or 10-ineh pots, or boxes six inches deep, in pref- erence to small pots. L. speciosum album is the most valuable variety for the flotist The pure white flowers of this variety are grand for all kinds of dfcsign work, and through the summer months, when choice white flowers are not at all plentiful, they will come in particularly useful. Do not leave any of these lily bulbs lying around a day longer than is necessary. When the scales begin to shrivel, the bulbs rap- idly deteriorate in quality. Genistas. There is ample time in which to flower genistas for Easter, but it is well to have a few coming along all the time, as they are readily salable as pot plants. Do not give them a warm house, or you will spoil them; 45 to 48 degrees at night will give you flowers of good substance which will not fall to pieces forty-eight hours after reach- ing the store, as so many warmer grown ones do. Keep the Easter stock in a temperature of 38 to 40 degrees at night, giving it 5 degrees more heat early in January. At this season cut- tings root readily in any cool propagat- ing house, such as is used for chrysan- themums or carnations. Started now, they will make nice plants in 6^nch pots for Easter, 1914. Propagation. Cuttings of a number of bedding plants, in addition to bedding gera- niums, should now help to keep the cutting benches well filled. Given por- ous sand with ample drainage, careful shading and necessary watering, few of these should fail to root. Now is the time to increase your stock of heli- otropes, fuchsias, ageratums, coleus, alternantheras, salvias, variegated and green vincas and other plants. Use the bottom shoots of the vincas, a few inches long, and few should fail to root. Stock plants of any of these will soon produce quantities more of good cuttings, if kept in a fairly warm greenhouse. Calceolarias. The months with the lowest temper- atures suit calceolarias to a nicety. They dislike hot weather and always One of the Ranges of Wolfe the Floritt, at Waco, Texas. JANOAET 2, 1913. The Florists^ Review 18 crow best in midwinter, doing espe- cially well in a house which feels cold and clammy and lacks the geniality of atmosphere so conducive to the welfare of the majority of greenhouse plants. Ab the calceolarias are now at their period of most rapid growth, they should never be allowed to become stunted in their pots. Use a light but fairly rich soil and one which will be at the same time quite porous. I like a compost of fibrous, yellow loam, to which is added some cow manure, well dried, and passed through a half-inch screen, some leaf-mold, sand, soot and fine charcoal. Thoroughly mix these to- gather and you will find that the plants will revel in it. Always keep them as close to the glass as possible and g've them an abundance of air. Remem- ber always that green aphis is the arch enemy of calceolarias, and if they are not fumigated weekly they will soon get into a condition which will qualify them for the rubbish heap. Fibrous-rooted Begonias. The last part of December or early January is a good time to make sow- ings of any of the fibrous-rooted bego- nias, such as Erfordii, Vernon in its several colors, Snow Queen, semperflo- rens rosea, Fairy Queen and others, which are becoming increasingly popu- lar as bedding plants. The fact that they are persistent bloomers, of a neat habit, and succeed equally well in either sunshine or shade, marks them at once as a class of plants which have come to stay. Be sure the pans in which these are to be sown are well drained; one and one-half favored with exceptionally good weather; indeed, some of the corre- • spondents remark that weather condi- tions were more like Easter than Christmas. This, no doubt, added/ largely to the volume of business. Practically everywhere plants were featured, but one correspondent, him- self^ interested in the cut flower de- partment of the business, comment* truthfully that the more the retailers feature ' plants, the more cut flower* are sold. Here and there small lot* of plants failed to sell, but this must have been due to special causes, as, generally speaking, a clean sweep was made. By and large, there were- enough cut flowers so that all demand* could be met. Eose crops were heavy everywhere, for the growers can time the varieties now forced in quantity with sufficient accuracy to get their crops approximately when they want them. Carnations appear to be gener- ally backward this season, but the sup- ply proved larger than anyone antici- pated, though rea'dily cleaned up. All the lesser items in cut flowers appear to have been generally in good supply and to have sold well. The busines in Christmas greens eas- ily set a new record. Where bouquet green roping is less popular than formerly, holly wreaths sell better than ever. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. Unfortunately, writing of the Christ- mas business on the last day of the year, it is not possible to be so enthu- siastic as was the case when writing amid the rush of Christmas trade. The fact is that it was more or less the old story over again. There was an enormous volume of business, at least equaling and probably eclipsing the best records of the past, but there was a decided slump Christmas eve and Christmas morning. The wholesalers also have been hard pressed to explain to their customers why the Killarneys were so badly off color. Up to a few days before Christmas the roses were excellent. Then there came a succes- sion of dark days and the color faded. Scarcely was the Christmas crop made when the weather cleared, and a few days of bright sun put the pink into the petals again. The color was fine just before the holidays, and it became fine immediately the big demand was satisfied, but during the time of high- est prices the roses were too pale to please. The protests that followed proved how particular the people are when they pay the fancy prices that prevail at a holiday. Eoses sold fairly well until after the shipping orders January 2, 1913. The Fbrists' Review 25 To (hir Friends and Patrons: Greeting! TANDINQ at the opening of a New Year, it seems appro- priate to devote this advertisement to an expression of appreciation of the patronage given us by the buyers of Cut Flowers during 1912, and of the friendly words and acts of encouragement of those not buyers. It has been our good fortune to do, in 1912, much the largest business in our history— and it has been our pleasure to have gained many good friends; indeed, we have come to know what it means to be "advertised by our friends." It has been our aim to develop here the most dependable source of Cut Flower supply in the United States. We have sought quality first, knowing that quantity would promptly follow. We have aimed to handle every flower so carefully that it would go out in even better condition than it came in, and we have steadily maintained our facilities a step in advance of the needs of the business. This policy, coupled with an unfaltering: determination to give everyone absolutely honorable treatment, has brougrht an increase in business far s:reater than we antici- pated at the time we laid down the rules on which this house has been conducted — and we are truly grateful. We pledge ourselves now to spare no effort to main- tain the reputation we have gained — for good stock, mod- ern methods and fair dealing. We shall not sell off our good nanle. We mean to keep the place we have gained — to push forward along the same lines as in the past.

Beauties did better. The supply was well cleaned up, even the off-grade stock selling at good prices. The carnation shortage proved not nearly so pronounced as had generally been predicted. No one had booked orders with the usual freedom, and some dealers found it difficult to fill the orders taken, but others were able to meet all demands at the prices and on Christmas eve carnations, as well as roses, became an oversupply; there are jeports of clean-up sales Christmas day at $2 to $3 per hundred for first- class stock. Of course, white suffered the worst. Violets sold well for Christmas, but did not clean up until concessions were offered. Then, since shipments follow- ing Christmas were light, the market became stronger than it had been for the holiday itself. Poinsettias did not sell so well as a few years ago. Ship- ments of cattleyas from the east broke the local market. Good mignonette was soft. Sweet peas cleaned up well. There was an abundance of valley and of lilies, also Paper Whites, Eomans and short-stemmed tulips. Stevia sold well. Boxwood was scarce and some of those holding good stock were able to get much better prices than had previously prevailed. There was no special demand follow- ing Christmas, but the way the buyers came back December 26 indicated that the retail trade had been good. Busi- ness steadily gathered volume until the opening of the present week, the last two days of the year, found the market enjoying an excellent New Year's demand, with an abundance of stock. Eose crops are on the down grade, but carnations are coming stronger every day. The weather has been bright and the stock is fine. Various Notes. It could not have been Santa Claus who visited the home of John Poehl- mann Christmas eve, as entrance was had through a window instead of down the chimney and, far from filling stock- ings with gifts, the upper floors were ransacked and jewelry to the value of nearly $1,400 taken.

They sold well enough when the customers' attention was drawn to them, but were not asked for. Peter Keinberg, as is his custom, spent the days before Christmas in the store, watching the disposition of the holiday cuts and greeting the trade. He said he never before had cut so many roses in a week and at first was in doubt about their cleaning up, but Tim Matchen says there was nothing left at closing time Christmas day. It is said the Fleischman Floral Co., as one item, used 3,000 Beauties for Christmas. Miss L. A. Tonner leaves January 7 for a trip to her pecan plantation at Baconton, Ga. E. E.

The same was true of the plant department, blooming- varieties being cleaned up early. William Kidwell says the retail Christmas trade was never better than 28 The Florists^ Review January 2, 1913. it was iu 1912 and it was necessary for his store staff to work into the wee hours of the -morning in order to take care of the rush deliveries. Plants found an excellent market at the Forty-third street store and cleaned out entirely. W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & Co., thinks there was less pickled stock on the market during the holidays this year than for a number of seasons. Owing to the good prices obtainable previous to the first rush, there was hardly any incentive for the growers to hold their cuts. Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, is of the opinion that Killarneys were of better grade and brought better prices than in other holiday seasons, although some were lacking in color. John F. Kidwell, of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, says they had no trouble with Christmas ship- X^ Aients, although some went to points \0»^here adverse weather conditions made it difficult to get the flowers through in the best of shape. Henry Wittbold had two big deco- rating jobs for New Year's, one being at the Chicago Athletic Club and the other at the Grand Pacific hotel. Kyle & Foerster say the shipping trade for the holidays was above what they expected. J. A. Budlong's store staff found plenty to do during the holidays and more shipping orders were taken care of than ever before, according to Phil Schupp. Miss Pauline Anderson, who was a member of the office force of A. Hen- derson & Co., is now located with Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, where her father is in charge of the plant department. With the arrival of 1913 W. N. Eudd completed three years' service on the board of directors of the S. A. F. George Asmus completed his year on the board as junior ex-president. Chi- cago does not cease to be represented among the directors, however, as the incoming president has appointed Au- gust Poehlmann a member to serve until January 1, 1916. The notice of the Florists' Club's meeting received in the New Year's mail contained an error. The date is not January 2, but January 9, at the Union, President Foley will step out and Pres- ident-elect French will step in. The Examiner December 31 contained a three-column cut of Miss Virginia Poehlmann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, August Poehlmann, showing her in the fancy dancing costume in which she appeared as one of the entertainers at the children's party at the Edgewater Country Club. Miss Poehlmann, be- sides having a mum named for her, has danced for the entertainment of the S. A. F. at several convention social affairs. W. J. Smyth spent the holidays with his hip in a plaster cast. His address will be iSt. Luke's Hospital for at least another month, but he thinks he is get- ting along as well as could be expectedi^ NEW ORLEANS. The Market.

This can be said espe- cially of red and pink carnations and the same colors of roses, azaleas and cyclamens. Many florists could have sold several hundred additional rosea and carnations. The magic change from a gloomy business outlook to the record breaking rush within twenty- four hours was pleasing to the florists. E. E. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. In most cases business was pro- nounced equal to last year, and in some cases better. It was noticeable that the better class of stock was in demand this year. In plants, the higher priced arrangements and plant baskets were in demand. In cut flowers roses were well in the lead. Roses were about equal to the demand, the better grades bringing from $3 to $5 per dozen. American Beauties were to be had at from $12 to $24 per dozen. Carnations were hardly equal to the demand at from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Lily of the valley, sweet peas and orchids with valley were in good demand for cor- sages. Poinsettias had a ready call at from $3 to $9 per dozen. Stevia and Paper Whites were to be had in almost any quantity. Various Notes. Albert G. Pittet has been cutting quantities of his new seedling peas. This new one is popular with the store men and Mr. Pittet could dispose of an unlimited quantity of them. The Hill-Heller Co. reports a most satisfactory Christmas trade. Mr. Kester deserves a great deal of credit for the numerous tastily arranged bas- kets and novelties which he has on display. George Wiegand leaves this week for Florida. He says that he is going to forget that he ever was in the florists' business, for a month, anyway. John Eieman says that his Christmas business was fully as good as hereto- fore. The Pahud Floral Co. says that this was the best Christmas it has ever had. The fine weather brought the people out to the cemetery by the hundreds. This concern had a fine cut of carna- tions out of its new house, having enough cut blooms for its own trade and quite a few to wholesale. A. Wiegand & Sons were well satis- fied with their Christmas business this year. This firm had an unusually fine stock of blooming plants, all of which were sold. They also had a good cut of orchids.

They will keep fresh in the abso- lutely even atmosphere produced by a Brunswick Refrigerating and Ice-Mak- ing Plant. You can maintain just the degree of humidity you require and your stock will be kept in condition to command the best prices. A Brunswick makes it possible to store lily bulbs, valley pips, etc., on the place. The advantage to the grower of a Brunswick lies more in the improved condition of his stock than in the sav- ing in cost, yet a Brunswick can be run at one-third less expense than an ice-cooling system. BRUNSWICK Refrigerating and Ice-Making Plant The convenience and economy of a Brunswick plant will be especially appre- ciated by retail florists. Pennock Bros., Philadelphia, saved nearly $200 a year by substituting a Brunswick for their old ice-cooling system. Brunswick plants are simple, compact, easily and economically operated and maintained. They cut out the expense and nuisance of ice.

It was also the best Christmas that the cut flower market has ever experienced. Perfect weather prevailed up to the night of December 23, when a heavy snow storm set in that raged for twelve hours, checking shopping, impeding transportation and causing the only cloud on the general result. The volume of business was larger than ever before, a remarkable fact when the great in- crease in the holiday plant business is considered. The out-of-town orders occupied the night of December 21, all day Sunday, December 22^ and part of the following day. The local demand was strong through December 23, mak- ing that day an extremely busy one. The snow storm checked the demand December 24, which was rather dull until the evening, when there was some activity. There was little business done on Christmas day. The storm caused some delay in express deliveries, local points suffering much more than through shipments. It also greatly hampered retail deliveries — the motor trucks proved in many cases slower and less reliable than wagons. Some stock was ruined and some was held up until too late. The storm also played havoc with the business of the cemetery florists, who were unable to dispose of their stock of designs, greens and flowers, their customers not venturing out with three inches of snow on the ground.

Mention Ttae Keylew wben tou wnie Roses formed one-half in value of the cut flowers marketed at Christmas. Beauties led, the price ranging from $12 per dozen to $85 per hundred for the specials. Extras brought $75 per hundred, while mediums brought from •$6 to $7.50 per dozen, good flowers in these grades realizing unusually good prices. Beauties were in brisk demand throughout the four days. Many were shipped out of the city, some to be returned to satisfy orders here. The supply of Eichmond was the heaviest on record, yet the supply was all con- sumed. A few fancies brought $35, $40 and $50 per hundred; most of the fine stock brought $20 and $25 per hun- dred and the bulk of the medium and short grades were sold from $15 to $8 per hundred. Killamey was offered in larger quantity than any other rose. A few fancies realized from $25 to $35 per hundred, but most of the stock sold at from $6 to $20. The strength of the demand for Killarney was increased by the carnation shortage. Though the supply of White Killarney was not large, as nobody crops for Christmas,, they accumulated on the last two days. My Maryland was inclined to be off color and did not sell so well as Kil- larney. Sunburst led the novelties; 25-cent stock was surprisingly short- stemmed when compared with Kil- larney. Carnations were in short supply until December 24. Prices reached $16 per hundred for fancy red, $12 per hundred for the Wards, and so on down to $S for well grown stock. On the day before Christmas the growers sent in flowers that would have brought fine prices earlier and overstocked the mar- ket, in the absence of demand. White of course suffered most. Violets were in good demand at from $1 to $1.75 per hundred. Hudson river Marie Louise continued favorites for shipping, but Lady Campbell and fancy singles were preferred in the city.

There was some activity in poin- settias as the holiday approached; $3 per dozen was the usual price. White lilac was popular at $1.50 per bunch and snapdragon at $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Asparagus and smilax were little used. Business was excellent on the day after Christmas, indicating that there was little stock left in the hands of the buyers. Prices fell slowly. There was a brisk demand for white flowers for funeral work, which helped clear up the only Christmas oversupply. Violets, in the absence of receipts un- wisely held back, maintained their Christmas price, with little trading. The heavier shipments of carnations indicate that the plants are coming into crop. While business continues to de- crease, the prospects for New Year's are excellent, although there are few advance orders. Various Notes. W.

The volume of business done this Christmas was at least as good as last year, if not better, and the same trouble as last year was to be con- tended with, namely, the scarcity of stock. Carnations were the greatest problem. Not only were they scarce, but extremely high-priced, selling in many places for $2 and $2.50 per dozen, a much higher price than has ever been charged here before. Scarce as they were, however, the quality was good. The rose supply, though a little heavier than that of carnations, was unequal to the demand and also brought fine prices. Poinsettias, both cut and in pots, sold at a good price and none were left over. Everything along the cut flower line sold well, regardless of qual- ity.

Speaking of pot plants, there was a vast improvement in demand along this line. Though most of the florists had an abundant supply of azaleas and Begonia Glory of Cincinnati, these were all sold or engaged several days before Christmas, and many more could have been disposed of. Bhododendrons easily brought $10 each, while pot poinsettias sold at an extravagant price. The smaller plants, such as , cyclamens, cinerarias, primroses, etc., also brought good prices. Fancy baskets and ham- pers of assorted plants were popular and sold readily. Other profitable items were wreaths and bouquets for ceme- tery use, made of red ruscus, boxwood, winter berries and immortelles. The florists did not realize so much on holly this year, as so many outsiders were handling it and selling at low prices. Bed ruscus, sold in loose bunches, was used extensively for house decorations and its sales far exceeded those of any previous year. The outlook for New Year's day thus far is encouraging.

IIITCHCOCK,°te Glenwood, BATAVIA, N. Y. The Market. The weather, Christmas day and the day after, was all that could be desired, the weather man giving us all the sun possible. Christmas trade was satisfac- tory to everyone and a large quantity of cut flowers and pot plants were dis- posed of. Carnations, which for some time have been scarce, are now doing better in both quality and quantity. Various Notes. Gustave Noack and L. C. Stroh & Sons report the sale of cut flowers and potted plants to have been far ahead of any previous season. Mr. Noack has some choice calla lilies coming into bloom. This has always been a spe- cialty of his and he has had great success. Business has been quite brisk with him, being about all he can handle, in the line of weddings, funerals, etc. A. A. K. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. The Market. Real winter weather set in just be- fore Christmas, and a severe snow storm December 24 interfered some- what with business, especially with the deliveries. Trade in general was good. Notwithstanding the fact that the Consumers ' League had urged the pub- lic to shop early, the rush in the flower stores was limited to the last three days and few advance orders had been placed. Roses were rather scarce and there were few red flowers of any kind, with the exception of poinsettias. There was an abundance of such carnations as White Wonder, Pink Delight, Ward, May Day, Benora, etc., but red carna- tions were extremely scarce. Violets were good. Orchids and valley were fine and sold well. There wore few SPECIAL OFFER for the FLORIST TRADE Order your Pine and Laurel Wreaths now; fine stock, all sizes and prices, from $2.00 to $3.00 per doz.

Everybody in the trade reports a more than satisfactory business. These reports come from flo- rists in all sections of the city, and from these we can safely say that this Christmas was the best on record. Trom the looks of the show houses of the florists in the west end and along (rrand avenue, there must have been a record sale in plants. The weather could not have been improved on for the delivery of plants, and saved much time and labor. Poinsettias, both plants and cut, were much in evidence in the windows of the retailers; also arrangements of short plants in pans dressed in red were quick sellers. Azaleas led among large plants. These were somewhat scarce this year. Arrangements of mixed plants in baskets went well. H. wineoL D FLORIST AND DECORATOR WEDDING AND FUNERAL WORK A SPECIALTY Headquarters for Cut Flowers.

Kowe, of Kirkwood, had a cut of fine valley for Christmas. Ostertag Bros, say it was a record- breaking business for the whole month of December. Fred Ostertag, who was reported sick recently, was about, but not able to do much of the hard work at Christmas. Alex. Siegel had the finest mistletoe seen here, and was liberal in supply- ing some of the local trade with it. He says everything sold well. Holly and greens had a big sale and his cut flower department was kept busy all week long. The Eiessen Floral Co. and Grimm & Gorly tell the same story of big Christmas business, with good prices. George Angermueller had a Christ- mas shipment of fancy orchids that sold well. The members of the St. Louis Flo- rists' Club should not forget the big New Year's meeting that takes place next week, Thursday, January 9, at 2 o'clock in Odd Fellows' building.

The Christmas business seemed to be far in excess of that of any other year, at least with some of the florists. The weather was fine December 24 and 25, December 23, there was a snow storm, but it did not last long. The store people and others worked from early Monday morning till Christmas night without much rest or much attention to meals and they surely were a tired looking bunch, but happy. All kinds of flowers and plants went fast and a great quantity of holly was sold, made into wreaths or loose. A noticeable fact was the large demand for American Beauties, a much larger demand than at any other Christmas, and the call was for long stems. The Killarneys and My Maryland were fine. Carnations were good and about equal to the demand. Twenty-six weddings and some funeral work helped to clean up the odds and ends. Various Notes. Writ*. WIr* or Phona JOHN WALKER 11 S.

Pack, Des Moines, spent the holidays with Mrs. Page and their three children, who are wintering at San Diego, Cal. The German seeds have been coming in slowly for weeks, but the boats that have reached New York in the last week of the year have brought heavy shipments. Seven-top turnip in Tennessee has had a favorable season thus far, accord- ing to McKay, Reece & Co., who have a considerable acreage near Nashville. The December 12 list of Kelway & Son, Langport, England, which came to hand December 27, is interesting as af- fording an idea of the British notion of how prices for 1913 crop compare with those for present delivery. Deliveries of beans are turning out as bad as anyone feared. One house re- ports that eighty-five per cent is the highest delivery it has been assured on any variety, while on some sorts the de- livery has been as low as ten per cent. Says W. Atlee Burpee in a letter anent the parcel post : •' To me it seems it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to handle this zone system and personally I am glad indeed that seeds are exempted from this annoyance." And Mr. Burpee is absolutely right, as usual. The Rudy-Patrick Seed Co. has re- moved to 1306-08 West Eighth • street, where there will be much more space for the transaction of business and much bet- ter switching facilities than at the former location.'' The company is also installing additional cleaning machinery and other equipments. Bids for the government seed order for the congressional free distribution of 1914 will be opened at Washington Jan- uary 7. As usual, the order is subject to Congress making the customary appropri- ation. Copies of the specifications have been in the hands of the trade for some time. The contracts will call for about r)0,000 pounds of flower seeds and 1,200.- 000 pounds of vegetable seeds, with small quantities of other items. Marshall Humphrey, who has been manager for the Arizona Seed Co., at Phoenix, Ariz., since it was established a year and a half ago, is now manager of the store of the Sturges Hay & Grain Co., at 125 East Jefferson street, Phoe- nix. He is succeeded at the oflBce of the Arizona Seed Co. by F. D. Rennison.

To buy bulbs for sentimental reasons is the poorest kind of business judgment. When you buy Lily Bulbs you are buying something which, by your ef- forts, will net you an income — provided you buy right. Prac- tically all bulbs have value only as they offer present or prospective income — Lily Bulbs being chiefly prospective as to income. As a security they may be classed with the most risky, since the profit derived from them depends upon f AGNIFICUM ^^^i** flowering capacity, under the supervision of various growers, and the marketing of the blooms. The ratio of profit is of course commensurate with the risk involved; large risk — large profit if successful. Therefore isn't it most important to buy only the very best bulbs— Horseshoe Brand Giganteum — and minimize the risk? It is by far the best and safest brand as a basis for such an investment because the general average of Horseshoe Brand Gigan- teum is so far above any other that the risk is at a minimum. They cost more per bulb to produce than most brands and the sfeneral opinion is the price is higher as a natural consequence. The fact is, however, they cost no more than inferior brands. This is because of the large volume of business done in the most direct way with the consumer under favorable conditions existing in Japan. Horseshoe Brand Giganteum are produced by about forty-five experienced growers under the best conditions possible — absolutely the Cream of the Crop — they will net more actual profit than any other brand known. On the opposite page are the present prices for 1913 deliveries of fresh bulbs— they are the right prices for the right kind of bulbs— the kind your business needs. Order now.

Yours truly, John Wkiland. Mention Thp Review 'wbeo vou writ<» ' ' Speaking first of flower seeds, it may be said that, at the commence- ment, seedling plants of perennials and biennials were extremely scarce in the autumn of 1911. These plants stood the winter well, but "during the flowering season (April and May) the want of rain, the prevalence of cold, with two or three sharp frosts, and the drying winds, checked the flowering and seed- ing of such plants as polyanthus, prim- roses, auriculas and sweet williams. Canterbury bells likewise suffered from the same cause, and the supply is de- ficient, although somewhat better than last year. Myosotis was injured by the cold winds of April and May, and an indifferent crop resulted. Wallflowers fared rather better, and produced a fair crop of good seed, but, owing to the shortage of plants, the seed available is of a limited quantity. The continuous wet of August, followed by a dry September, caused plants of antir- rhinums to bloom freely a second time, and this fact somewhat destroyed the bright outlook of a good crop; still the supply is moderately good. "Taking annuals collectively, the crops are light to medium. A few kinds, such as candytuft, gypsophila and nemesia, are good, but many other popular annuals are scarce. At one time sweet peas promised to be a good crop, but they finished one of the worst on record. The crpps in America and other countries were as bad, or worse, and the supply will not be equal to the demand. Mignonette produced good crops in certain districts, but in other localities the yield was deficient. How- ever, as a whole the supply is of medium quantity. China asters suf- fered from the wet of July and Au- gust, more especially the early varie- ties, which were then in bloom. Medium and late flowering varieties, improving greatly during the favorable weather in September, produced a fair crop. The percentage of germination, however, cannot be expected to reach a high standard, and this remark may apply to most flower seeds this year. Heavy rains during August destroyed the bright prospects of a heavy crop of nasturtium. The plants grew to leaf too freely, instead of throwing an abundance of flowers. The supply is moderate. It is, however, among the late-seeding annuals that the greatest shortages are felt, such as ageratum, calliopsis, godetia, larkspur, lobelia, marigold, scabious and stock. These were extremely late in blooming, and they were suddenly checked by the frosts of early October. * * Turning to the vegetable crops, beet plants were unable to get a good start owing to the spring drought, and later GLADIOLI I am prepared to book orders for Americay Augusta^ Mrs* Francis King and other varieties for fall or early spring delivery.

FLORISTS' REVIEW When Writing Advertisers jANUARy 2, 1913. The Florists^ Review 59 B IG thoughts are conducive to big events; a man's world is just as wide as his mind. Dream big dreams ; if they never come true, you are ahead of the game even at that, for some- times anticipation is better than realization; so smile, turn on the sunshine, dream and hustle; it is lots of fun (sometimes — not). Beading along theolog- ical lines, as well as in scientific pursuits, we find the greatest successes are preceded by apparent rank failures. The fellow who thinks he can climb the ladder to success without a few backslides and hard knocks, is usually classed with the fellow who does climb by easy stages and washes windows when he reaches the top; he won't put much over on Saint Peter when he dies either — he has to work sometime, somewhere. (Where?) It is an old fogy idea, that if a woman is given much liberty in the business world she will immediately break the strength of her moral character and lose her high regard for man. This type would last long enough to turn around and walk out, in a hurry, too. There is no lack of opportunities in all directions, and life would be a terrible struggle without the men; the angels are absolutely indispensable; still, arms' length is a safe distance and, to the fellow venturing any nearer — give him a black eye; a man — a real man — never chances the second treatment. The clinging type of woman is very sweet to dream of, but I feel sorry for the poor "vine" when the storms of reverses and adversity try the strength of the husky support, and what an awakening when we discover women were made for helpmates and not ornaments! I have been hustling at the bulb business for the past nine years and am still working on my first "million." I may reach there if I sell enough Gladioli for spring. However, a large shipment of Speciosum lilies and Giganteum has arrived from the jeweler; they are gilt edged; also Peach Blossom and Blushing Bride Gladioli from my private estate in Holland (I can tell a few, too). The best way to know what I can do is to try me with an order. I am quoting on Paper White for fall, 1913, from one dozen to one hundred thousand cases. M.

FLORISTS' REVIEW When Writing Advernser. 60 The Florists^ Review January 2, 191?. fair supply of seeds. Cabbage and sim- ilar crops encountered unsuitable condi- tions throughout the season. Great dif- ficulty -was experienced in getting the plants through the ground in the au- tumn of 1911, and they were small. As a result many failed to run in the spring. Those that did were badly affected by the drought and much blighted. The seed supply is deficient. The carrot crop was fairly good as a rule, although many fields were de- stroyed entirely by the heavy rains of the late summer. The great majority of celery plants failed to stand the winter. Soup celery is an abnormal price this year, and celery seed gen- erally is scarce. The leek supply is deficient, owing to the lack of plants. It was extremely difficult to raise plants during the summer of 1911. In most cases lettuces failed completely. The plants were healthy, and promised full crops up to the middle of July, but cold and damp weather set in just as they were in full bloom, with the con- sequent ruin of the crop. The acreage planted with onions was much below the average, owing to the shortness of bulbs, but the crop was fairly satisfac- tory and the supply of seed is mod- crate. Parsley was one of the worst crops; as the plants were so small when planted out in the autumn, the majority of them failed to run to seed. The parsnip crop, usually one of the most reliable, was this year practically a failure. The small quantity of seed harvested was of poor quality. There is a certain amount of foreign seed, but it is doubtful whether the produce of such seed will be appreciated by English growers. At one time it was feared that the radish crop would be a failure, as the seed failed to germinate owing to the dry weather which set in immediately after it was sown. It came up unevenly, and the plants made no headway for a long time. Rains fell just in time to save it, but the crop was extremely late. Spinach was the best crop of the year. Turnips suffered severely from the drought and subse- quent blight, and were a light crop. Swede, like turnip, is a poor supply. Mangold wurzel was a fair crop, but many fields suffered severely from the spring drought, and failed to recover. ' ' CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

She sa^s it was much better than last year, when she was on the other and busier side of the avenue. The Harrington Co., at both the Sec- ond and Fourth avenue stores, did splendidly. A fine display of pot plants, notably Christmas cherries, ap- peared in each place. Eosaia Bros, state they did the big- gest business in the history of the firm. They usually buy largely and this year more so than ever, but there was little left. Mrs. L. W. McCoy, whose store was specially attractive, had all the busi- ness the increased staff could handle. The Burns Floral Co., in addition to the usual heavy Christmas trade, had a large share of the passing business. The Butler Florists were busy at their old location and also did well at their new store on Third avenue. H. Davis opened a new store on Second avenue, in a good location, and found good business. The members of the Seattle Florists' Club gave their president a handsome Christmas present in the form of a gold watch. He is exceedingly grate- ful for this token of good will and will wear it with pride. T. W, SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Never in the history of the local trade have climatic conditions been more favorable for holiday shoppers. Warm, sunny days and pleasant nights have been the rule for the last week and the thousands of town and out-of- town people have given the florists a merry time. The trade has been so gradual, for the same reason, that there was no really big rush at any time, and the situation was much more pleasant than when it was necessary to handle the entire business in a couple of days, as is usually the case when the weather is bad. Some of the retailers are inclined to think that or- ders were not as heavy this year as in former times but the chances are that when the full summary is niade, in a week or so, it will be found that they are ahead considerably. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that the sales generally were for smaller amounts than those, of the last two years, which means, of course, much more work in handling than was necessary formerly. One reason for this may have been the fact that there was not as much large- sized stock shown. This refers to speci- men azaleas, poinsettias, nephrolepis and many other articles. As a conse- quence, the buying public had to be contented with well grown but smaller sized plants. Cyclamens were shown to better advantage than has ever been attempted before. Begonias were not as plentiful as one might wish and most of the poinsettias were of the smaller sizes. Cut poinsettias from the San Diego growers made a striking wealth of color. Valley and Eomans were only in fair supply. Carnations of all colors were good and cheap, except that there was a slight shortage of the red varie- ties in some quarters. Eoses were in fair supply and were of good quality, Some of the growers asked rather stiff prices all the week, but on the average Especially Strong on BEAUTY and RICHMOND PRICES RIGHT.

We take great pleasure in introducing to our many customers for 1913 the New American Beauty Geranium. For the first time, after working on this wonderful new Geranium for nearly three years, we are offering it for sale. It originated from a novelty collection and has stood the test now nearly three years. Our Claim for American Beauty Geranium is that it surpasses all other Geraniums in its real American Beauty color— 1. In brllllanoy of color. 2. In slz* of its larire blooms. 3. In earliness of bloom. 4. In constancT of bloom. 5. In vicor, strenctb and stocky plants. 6. In propasatlBK quality. 7. In numbor of larse dusters of blooms. 8. In selling quality. 9. In a ^^ondarful ability to retain its color in cool or tbe bottest w^eattaer. 10. In a Geranium tbat bas come to stay as a money maker. AMERICAN BEAUTY is semi-double, of the purest Ameri- can Beauty color. It is so distinct that no difference can be detected in the color of an American Beauty Rose. The only Gera- nium of its color ever introduced. It flowers freely the entire season. It grows compact, medium dwarf, of stately shape with lustrous green foliage, slightly corrugated, with a brownish circle. It produces gigantic flower heads very freely the entire season. We claim it to have larger flower heads than any other variety of its kind. The individual blooms measure 2^ inches across and have as many as eight fully opened, gigantic flower spikes and several half open and more in bud, in eight-inch pots. All orders aro filled in rotation, so place your orders early with cash accompanying. Stock ready for shipment in January, 1913.

We guarantee that you get 100 per cent of what you order in a quality that will be satisfac- tory to you as a buyer and to us as producers. Selling job lots at low prices is not a business, and there is no standard of quality in job lot buying. From us you get a guaranteed quality at a price fair to the buyer, and at which there is a reasonable profit and an insurance against damage in transit. Our goods are insured to you against loss.

There was such a good demand at Christmas that everything cleaned up well. Con- sequently prices were pleasing in char- acter. Ked flowers were in big demand, and there was a shortage of Richmond roses. Boxwood and evergreens seemed to be in demand, as were other greens, A fine lot of poinsettias could be seen in all the stores, selling according to size at $3, $4, $6 and $9 per dozen. In the plant line cyclamens were in the majority, great quantities being disposed of at from $1.50 to $3 each. Azaleas brought from $3 to $5, Poin- settia pans were, of course, great favor- ites with the public, selling at 35 to 45 cents per bloom. Palms and ferns cleaned up well with the rest. S. W.

He also has a seedling, now in its fifth or sixth year, that he has named Eobert Marshall. Parentage: G. H. Crane on Prosperity.

Calyx is longer and narrower than that of the vigor and freedom that distinguish its parent. Color the parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown a light salmon pink— a color that is not only very attractive, no inclination to be a burster. The weak points of Enchant- but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without ress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four bleachmg. A good all-round Carnation that retains its color years' duration convinces us of its great value.

We had ideal Christmas weather here, with a foot of snow and a bright sun. Everybody was pleased as far as the weather was concerned. Tuesday morn- ing, December 24, snow started to fall and kept up until evening, so that the retailers had some difficulty in deliver- ing orders, as the going was bad. Trade was all that could be desired, although some kinds of flowers were scarce. More roses, carnations, violets and sweet peas would have been welcomed, as only or- ders for these flowers could be filled. Those buying at the counters had to be content with other than what they in- tended buying. Good prices were ob- tained, especially for Eichmond and Killarney. White Killarney, Mrs. Aaron Ward and Lady Hillingdon have short- ened up considerably. My Maryland and Taft were scarce. Dark Pink Kil- larney came in and the color was all that could be desired. Killarney Queen was much in demand, as the stems were long and the buds good. Beauties sold well, but were rather scarce. Carnations met with a good demand, which far ex- ceeded the supply. Beacon, Eosette, Winsor and Pink Delight were grand, and in white. White Wonder led the way. No good sweet peas were left unsold early in the week and none were to be had for Christmas. Violets con- tinue to be scarce, and especially so this week. Stevia was plentiful and sold fairly well. Gardenias and orchids cleaned up in good shape. Narcissi and Eomans were in good demand. Few Lorraines, ardisias or poinsettias were left over. Green was extensively used and laurels and ruscus also were largely called for. Various Notes. The Bon Ton Flower Shop reports business good for Christmas, with a big demand for potted plants. J. A. Brodrib has taken over the Quality Flower Shop and will continue to do business in the same store until the lease expires. Poinsettias in pans were a big factor with the Spear & McManus Co. This concern also had some splendid carna- tions. Florists' autos were here, there and everywhere, and were kept busy until noon Christmas day. W. S. C. Bayonnfe, N. J. — Paul Stier has had an unusually successful season in the sale of plants, especially cyclamens, primroses and hyacinths. Everything in flower was disposed of.

The replies were as follows: H. C. Blewltt, Des Plalnes. — "It is a good one; color, form and stems are satisfactory." Sol Garland, Des Plalnes. — "About as fine a red as could be seen, all points considered." Fred Hlnks, Hubbard's Woods. — "A flrst-class red, good bloom and good stems." F. C.

Jacob Meyer, Morton Grove.— "A fine variety, good color, good grower, and in all respects O. K." Jas. Pgenlcka, Gross Point. — "A mighty good one, the best red ever seen at this time of the year." N. J. Kruchten, 5257 N. Western Ave. — "It looks good all right." John Blstow, 5847 N. Western Ave. — "Believe it is a good thing; has a good flower and 'good stem." E. H. Blameuser, Nlles Center. — "It Is a nice flower." Fred and Walter Stielow, Nlles Center. — "It Is the best red seen so far." Nick Stelnmetz, Rogers Park. — "The best that can be found In a Christmas red." Nick M. Potchen, Rogers Park. — "It cannot be beat for a Christmas red." Geo. B. Daws, Elgin. — "It is unequaled as a Christmas red." Hn«ro Lnedtke, Maywood. — "The best thing on the market in its color." A. F. liongren, Chicago. — "Away ahead of any red ever seen for Christmas." J. C. Bmckner, 537 W. COth St.— "It is superior to any other red in stem and color." F. Fischer, Joliet. — "A healthy grower, good producer, and the best Christmas red." Jos. P.

For two years the best Red in 100 class at the Cincinnati Flower Show, 1911, St. Paul and Cleveland Flower Shows, 1912. ' The Herald is an early, free and continuous bloomer, giving a heavy crop for Christmas and afterwards. Cuttings propagated in March made large plants and were in full crop by October 1. The flowers are large; full and deep calyx, which is absolutely non- bursting; stem long and stiff; color is a clear, even shade of scarlet.

This firm has 50,000 carnation plants that are grown exclu- sively for cuttings, and never allowed to flower. It has been proved conclusively that plants will not yield cut flowers and give strong cuttings at the same time; compelling them to do this, gives weakened stoclc. If your stock is lacking vigor, replace with some of these carefully handled cuttings; they will put you in good shape for another year. We use science and efficiency methods in handling our car- nations from start to finish; visit our place and see for yourself; you will not find a yellow or diseased plant. We root our cuttings in clean Lake Michigan sand, freighted 200 miles. We root them cool. We shall have 200,000 cuttings ready for JANUARY delivery. They embrace the following sorts: Commodore . . . $12.00 per lOO; $100.00 per 1000 Richest crimson scarlet; the best keeper and traveler in the family: ex- tremely free; the earliest scarlet to bloom; continues to the close of the season in fine color.

A committee of florists headed by Thomas Hobday, former superintendent of waterworks, appeared before the city commission December 18 to protest against the holiday sale of Christmas greens and cut flowers by the street corner venders, contending that such competition is unfair to the merchants who pay licenses to the city the year around. As a result the commission issued an order that sales outside the business premises of the seller must cease December 19. That day F. H. Showell applied to the district court for an injunction against the city ofla- cials to prevent them from interfering with his business. He alleged that he had paid the city a merchant's license and is renting space for his business. He claimed that, under the city ordi- nances, he is entitled to three feet of sidewalk space to carry on his business, but that the city commission has issued an order to the chief of police to stop him and others from conducting busi- ness on the sidewalks and that the police were threatening to close up his business. Judge C. W. Morse signed an order to show cause, which re- strained the chief of police and the commission from stopping Showell 's business until after the case is heard on its merits. The order was made re- turnable January 2, which permitted the Christmas sales to go on within the limit. Menominee, Mich.— Hans Larsen, who heretofore has confined his attention principally to the growing of vegetables, has enlarged his greenhouses and will use the added space for flowers.

At the December meeting of the Flo- rists' Association Fred C. W. Brown, of Buffalo, gave an interesting and in- structive talk on the principles of de- sign. The lecture was illustrated by stereopticon slides made by himself. Mr. Brown emphasized the necessity for simplicity in design. The tendency, he said, was to overdecorate. George Hart gave the association a report of a visit to some of the eastern markets. The James Vick's Sons greenhouses at Barnard, N. Y., formerly the Vick & Hill place, were well supplied with stock for the Christmas trade. The 25,- 000 feet are devoted almost entirely to the growing, of ferns, palms, bedding stock and perennials. They have, how- ever, about 3,000 feet in carnations and a propagating house containing 4,000 feet. From the stock of Boston, Whit- mani and Scottii they are expecting to get about 30,000 small ferns. They have 3,500 feet in kentias, 1 to 4 years old, that deserve mention. Besides the greenhouses, there are thirty-five acres of land well adapted to the rais- ing of bulbs and perennials. The place IS managed by Fred W. Vick and the propagating work is in the hands of Thomas Ewart. Mr. and Mrs. Hiram E. Wilson have gone to Winter Haven, Jacksonville, Fla., and expect to spend the winter there. Schuyler Arnold. Tampa, Fla.— Mrs. M. M. Himes is carrying on a retail business in plants and flowers at 801 Delaware avenue. She grows her own stock. Milford, Mass.— W. D. Howard's new greenhouse, in South Milford, is complete. It is his sixth and will be planted with chrysanthemums for next season. Jacksonville, Fla.— In a suit for $10,- 000 damages brought by A. Wansker against Mills The Florist, the jury re- turned a verdict for defendant, thus ending a trial-that lasted for two days in the circuit court. The suit was brought for alleged personal' injuries sustained in June, 1911, when defend- ant's automobile collided with plain- tiff's wagon.

Cut flowers were not slighted by any means. Poinsettias in large pans and hampers were mostly called for at the store of Currie Bros. Co., in the plant line. More red roses and carnations could have been sold. The C. C. PoUworth Co. cleaned up well on all pot plants and had a good lot of roses and carnations to fall back on. The Holton & Hunkel Co. cut Amer- ican Beauties of fine quality for the holidays and was right in crop with Killarney and White Killarney, which, owing to the shortage of carnations, came in especially handy.

CLARK 124 Wasbingfton Av«., Soranton, Pa. Mention The Review when you write. Greenhouse Heating. The season is now at hand when the movement of coal cars is likely to become the slowest and most irregular of the year, for snow and severe cold are to be expected at any time. In this connection it is worth while noting that the Ameri- can Railway Association, which keeps tab on the car situation, reported as of De- cember 14 that the car shortage had de- veloped until there was a shortage of 34,392 cars, as against a surplus of 76,814 cars at the corresponding date last year. Growers have not forgotten the trouble they had in getting coal during the severe weather last January and all save those whose habit it is to take chances will see to it that they have sev- eral weeks' supply of fuel on the place at once, as this year's car shortage will add to the diflSculties of last year the moment real winter sets in. IMPBOVINa THB OIBOTTIiATION. In The Review for December 13, page 142, M. L. asked the following question: Please baye yonr beating expert give me aome Information with reference to the kind of steam pump and receiver for the circulation of steam and for receiving the condensation which is re- turned to the boiler. What size of apparatus would be suflScient for 25,000 square feet of glass? The engineer who installed the boiler stated that the receiver of the pump should be three feet below the level of tbe pump. Please give me full information about tbe Elnd of pump, tbe size, installation, etc. I have had considerable experience in these matters, being now with Mark Aitken, who has the largest estab- lishment at Springfield, Mass., and perhaps I can help M. D. In the first place, there is no pump for the circu- lation of steam. Now, if I were going to answer the question, I should say that the first thing to be done is to put a reducing valve on the heating system. Then a middling high pres- sure can be carried on the boiler, re- ducing the pressure on the heating system, by means of the valve, to any pressure that is needed. A Duplex pump 3-2-4 would be ample to take care of 25,000 sq' are feet of glass, and, with an automatic receiver and a steam trap or traps on the return, it would work all right. The reason that I mention traps is that if they are not used, then the steam will come back to the receiver through the returns and blow out of the vent pipe on top of the receiver, and would be wasted. The inquirer also says that the engi- neer who installed the boiler stated that the receiver should be three feet below the pump. That is wrong; the receiver should be above the pump, so RETURN TRAPS help to maintain a uniform tempera- ture throughout the houses by keeping steam coils free and clear of con- densation. By automatically returning the condensation directly to boilers at almost evaporation temperature, "Detroit" Traps eflfect a great saving in coal. Bulletin No. 826-WP gives detailed iDformation.

The plant in which I am engineer is in a range of greenhouses containing 92,000 square feet of glass. We carry forty pounds on the boiler and ten pounds on the heating system, by means of a reducing valve. Before we put in the reducing valve, pump, receiver and steam traps, the conden- sation was returned by gravity and the temperature of the return water was from 120 to 180 degrees; now the con- densation comes back to the pump with a temperature of 200 to 210 degrees, which means a big saving in coal H. Armstrong. TWO REASONS FOR TROUBLE. We have two greenhouses, each 16x60 and ten feet to the ridge, with twenty inches of side glass and concrete walls, three feet high. Each house -is piped as follows: One 3-inch main, rising from the boiler about five feet, then pitching down to the farther end of the greenhouse and there dropping into fifteen 1^4-inch returns under the benches, and one 1%-inch return along the side glass. The expansion tank is connected to both 3-inch mains at the highest point in the boiler shed. The boiler is cast-iron, a good make and rated at 1,250 feet of radiation. It has a grate 20x30 inches. The boiler room floor is about one foot lower than the paths of the greenhouses. We are not getting satisfactory results and we have to keep the boiler going at full force to get 60 degrees in moderately cold weather. In zero weather we can- not get a higher temperature than 40 degrees. We shall be pleased to get some advice through your columns. We are located in southwestern Michigan. B. C. G. From the description given, it would appear that at least two conditions have combined to cause the trouble. It is never advisable to use anything less than 1^-inch pipe, and 2-inch pipe is even better, unless the returns are five to eight feet above the top of the heater.

The Florists^ Review 95 THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE. SAVES TIME. LABOR \ MONEY We call your attention to Our Gravity Carriers for conveying soil into and out of greenhouses. You are aware of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Gravity Carriers to reduce this expense. Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly joined ; the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length by 2^4 inches In diameter. Cut shows how they operate. A run of carrier is set tip 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 an estimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

Magnificent cyclamens, skimmias, spiraeas, azaleas, poinsettias and all the choicest stock obtainable were there, and everyone who knows the genial proprietor of this store and how hard he has worked for success will surely join me in congratulations for such grand results. The Germain Seed & Plant Co. made an elegant display of pot plants and English holly in one of its large win- dows; also a big showing in the store, and the results were most encouraging. A big decoration at the Jonathan Club kept all busy. The Eoserie had a nice showing of pot plants and reports a big business. Frank Lichtenberg got away from the stereotyped Christmas window with a lawn of real grasa and a water gar- den, prettily planted with Japanese shrubs and containing goldfish. He had some of the finest azaleas in town. The Hayward Floral Co. made a specialty of cyclamens in birch bark receptacles and also of Soman hya- cinths and valley, each the best of its kind. The Violet, at 201 Fifth street, made a fine Christmas showing, better than could have been expected in the space at command, and Mr. Wing expressed himself well satisfied with the busi- ness done.

A bill asking for the appropriation of $30,000 for the establishment of greenhouses and for the carrying on of experimental work in the floricultural department of the university is to be introduced at the coming session of the state legislature. Acting in the interests of the State Federation of Florists* Clubs, under whose auspices the experimental work would be carried on at Cornell, F. B. Pierson, of Tarrytown, Charles H, Vick, of Bochester, and Earl A. Bates, of Syracuse, met in Syracuse and incor- porated the desire of the federation in a bill which will be introduced in both senate and assembly at Albany early in the session. While not made a part of the general appropriation bill for state support of Cornell University during the coming year, the passage of the bill will not increase the -customary allowance, as the officials of the State College of Agri- culture here have cut down the annual budget with the expectation that a special fund will be available for flori- cultural research work. The annual meeting of the State Federation of Florists' Clubs will be held in this city in conjunction with the annual Farmers' Week festivities.

The award carries with it a pension of $3 a month. It is estimated that Mr. Beyer will receive about $2,000 in back pay. Model Extension Carnation Support Made with two or three circles.

You can talk about the things cold frames will do for you " until the cows come home," but if you want real flowers, real bedding plants that you can count on being top-notch year in and year out— then a greenhouse is the only thing. The only thing, because it is the aura thins. With a greenhouse your frames become doubly valuable, as then one helps the other, greatly to the advantage of both. With a greenhouse you can control temperatures and conditions and can have what you want when you want it. But don't allow anyone ever to persuade you that any other curved-eave house U just as good as the U-Bar. It's not so. We want to show you exactly why. Send for the catalogue as a starter.

The Florists^ Review 103 fl Tomato Plants Grown by the Million in the Burt Olney Canning Co/s Houses |HE problem that has confronted the Burt Olney Company for years was to get the growers from whom they buy their tomatoes to plant only good strong stocky plants that would stand early setting out, so that the crop could be rotated and not flood the canneries with tomatoes for a few short weeks. Mr, Olney came to the conclusion that the only way to control the situation was to grow the plants themselves and furnish them to the growers at a price sufficient to cover the cost of producing Ihem. He had us erect for him nine iron frame houses, 33x150 ft., five at Albion, N. Y., and four at Medina. This shows tin strut on the compres- sion truss. Note how the truss rods are securely bolted between the double strut plates. No threads to strip as in tension trusses. The plants are grown by the million ifi the houses and hardened off as needed in frames. After the tomato plants are out of the houses it was Mr. Olney's plan to use the space for growing chrysanthemums and other short crops. / With the same keen foresight so charac- teristic of this Canning Company's success, they put their money in the best iron frame houses money would buy. They, did not hesitate to invest in houses that were a per- manent investment. If it is a good sense investment for this Canning Company to build iron frame houses to 'grow tomato plants in, it's a good sense investment for you, no matter what you grow. When do you want to see one of our repre- sentatives about such an investment? Lord&BurnhamCo.

It is with pleasure that The Keview publishes the following from one of its subscribers: "This is the time of year when everybody takes inventory and tries to determine whether he has made or lost during the preceding year; every- body but the florist, it seems. I have occasionally seen a question asked in The Eeview as to how much profit a place of a given size should yield, but the answer has not been especially ex- plicit; naturally enough, so it seemed to me, because of the lack of data to figure from. "I am going to confide to The Ke- view some figures of my business dur- ing the year 1912, with the hope of seeing a discussion along the lines of the profit to be made in this trade, that I and others may judge whether we are realizing what we should from our time and investment. Of course, I know you will not use my name, so others may know the source. "My place consists of 7,000 square feet of ground under glass; growing about half in lettuce and tomatoes in the spring. Half of the glass is in cut flowers, bulbs, etc., and bedding plants — no roses. I am doing a retail and wholesale business, wholesaling my surplus. Have about half an acre out- doors devoted to early vegetables and raising field plants for the greenhouses. Today's value of the land, including that covered by greenhouses, etc., is about $1,000. Houses and everything in use are kept up, so the depreciation is practically nothing. The houses are three to five years old, but have been repainted and bulbed this year. "During 1912 my receipts were $3,287. Expenditures, including every cent paid out for help, new stock, etc., were $1,349. This does not include wages for myself. This gives me $1,928 for wages and interest on my invest- ment. To be added to this is about $15 for permanent improvements and the heat and water for my residence, perhaps $50 per year. "As nearly as possible I begin my working day at 7 a. m, and quit at 6 p. m. I am in a town of about 3,000 population and have a slight competition. "I have set mv head for another $500 clear .money for 1913 and think I can get it out of the same equipment. "Let's hear the truth, whether I have done well or not. I want to know. ' ' The Review frequently is asked to Btate the ])rofit that is to be made from a given quantity of glass, and invariably replies that it mostly de- pends on the man, only a little on the location and local conditions. One man makes himself fairly independent in a situation where another at best will only make a living. A discussion of the subject may serve to invigorate some of the men who are getting less out of the business than they might have, and The Review will be pleased to publish other letters along this line. The writer's full name and address must be signed, although they will not be published. POINSETTIAS AT BELMONT. This has been a season which has given a great variety of results with poinsettias. Weather conditions appear to have been responsible for the un- usual variations in the crop. Many growers lost a considerable part of their poinsettias, while others had them too early for Christmas. W. S. Richards, of Belmont Farm, Perrysburg, Poiniettias at Belmont Farm. O., sends the photograph from which the accompanying illustration was pre- pared. It shows a bench of poinsettias, which, as he says, "made an unusuallv good growth." Benched in the firs't part of June, most of them reached a height of eight feet, and he adds, "We had a hard task to keep them from going through the glass." The bracts evidently were of fine quality and Mr. Richards says many of them were from fifteen to twenty inches across. Cadillac, Mich.— W. H, Kane, who recently opened a ^orists' establish- ment here, has engaged Charles Cray- lie as manager. Mr. Craylie was for- merly with Eli Cross, of Grand Rapids, Mich. FABCEL POST BULES. The regulations promulgated by the postmaster-general for the administra- tion of the parcel post would set, in all, about a dozen columns of The Review. They are in part devoted to the details applicable to all parcels, such as rates, places of mailing, method of wrapping, delivery, etc., but a large part of the regulations are purely administrative matters and are of no interest to the public. The only para- graphs having special bearing on our trade are as follows, the first three being parts of Section 7: "4. Seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots,- scions and plants are matter of the fourth class, notwithstanding that a special rate of postage (1 cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof regardless of distance) applies thereto. The limit of weight is increased to eleven pounds by the parcel post law (see sec. 1), but no other change is made. "5. Cut flowers, dried plants and botanical specimens not susceptible of propagation are transmissible at parcel post rates. ' ■ 6. Samples of wheat or other grain in its natural condition, potatoes, beans, peas, chestnuts, acorns, etc., when in- tended for planting must be prepaid at the special rate of postage prescribed in paragraph 4, but when intended to be used as food the parcel post rates apply. "Sec. 26. Seeds and other admis- sible articles, which are liable from their form or nature to loss or damage unless specially protected, may be put up in sealed envelopes of material sufficiently transparent to show the contents clearly without opening. "Sec. 30. Seeds of fruit, nursery stock, and all other plant products for propagation, may be mailed in accord- ance with the instructions of the De- partment of Agriculture as promul- gated by Postoffice Department orders.

In its New Year's review of business conditions one of the Chicago dailies had the following by Lester E. Par- tridge: "The general glass situation is in much better shape, from a price and consumptive standpoint, than it has been for several years. "Owing to the new process of making window glass by machinery, there has been for several years an overproduction at certain seasons of the year that has forced prices to a low level. "A year ago prices on window glass were the lowest in the history of the business. In fact, the skilled workmen were getting almost day laborers' wages and the manufacturers were ac- tually losing money on every box pro- duced. Wages have been increased since that time about sixty per cent, and, while these wages are still con- siderably less than the average pay re- ceived by the skilled trades in the manufacturing of glass, they are much more satisfactory to all concerned and allow the men to get out a better class of work. "These higher wages and the in- creased cost of materials and fuel have forced the prices up considerably, but 12 The Florists^ Review January 9, 1913. today's basis is what might be termed just a fair average price, and the pros- pects are that the present prices will prevail throughout the coming year, with probably some advance when the spring trade opens up. "The latter half of 1912 has unques- tionably seen the largest consumption of glass in the history of the country, and the present indications are that 1913 will be a banner year for building throughout the country, which will mean the largest demand for glass of all kinds that we ever have seen." PEOPAOATION OF CINCINNATI. I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me the proper way of propa- gating Begonia Glory of Cincinnati; also the proper time for it. C. A. E. Begonia Glory of Cincinnati is propa- gated in the same manner as the ordi- nary Lorraine begonia, namely, by leaf cuttings, and early spring is the best time for the operation. W. H. T. MEXICAN TUBEROSES. I should like to ask when Mexican tuberoses should be taken up in the Qlimate of southwestern Texas, how the fculbs should be separated and how han- dled for market. W. L. H. Eeplying to the question about tube- roses in Texas: They do not have to be taken up in the winter south of Austin, or, I might say, in the south half of the state; but every two years they should be taken up and divided. We presume the best time to do it is in March or April, as one kills a crop of weeds at that time and tuberoses will not grow until the ground gets warm. If not divided after blooming for two years the flower stalks are short and slender. In the north and northeastern part of the state they should be taken up after frost and dried and laid anywhere just so they do not freeze, and then planted in March or April. About once in ten or twelve years the temperature here reaches zero, but only for a short time. If it continues a few days it kills the bulbs near the top of the ground. F. T. Eamsey. TULIPS FOE EASTEB. I have 20,000 tulips of several varie- ties, many of them of the higher priced sorts. These tare, however, single early. I have also a lot of Darwins of many varieties. I boxed them all about November 15, in what I call virgin soil of medium quality. I have not given them any manure. Do these bulbs want any feeding and what would it be best to give them? I do not expect to have them early, as I have no glass except coldframe sashes. Can I in any way manage, here in British Columbia, to have them in for Easter? Any suggestions regarding this will be highly appreciated. C. V. A. You should have no trouble in flower- ing any of the early varieties of tu- lips for Easter in your coldframe. Al- low them to remain covered until they have sprouted two to three inches; then place them in the coldframe on a bed of coal ashes, which will help to keep out worms. On cold nights it may be necessary to protect the sashes with hotbed mats. Easter comes quite early in 1913, the date being March 23. Your tulips should therefore be placed in the light not later than the middle of February. If you had mixed some sand and old, well decayed manure in your compost, your bulbs would have done better. However, seeing you have not done so, you can materially benefit them by watering with liquid cow manure once in four or five days, after they are placed in the frame. I do not know how low a temperature you get in February and March. If it is quite frosty it would be an advantage to use a few inches of warm horse manure in the frame. Tramp it firmly and evenly before spreading the coal ashes on. The Darwin tulips will flower well during April. They would hardly be in condition for Easter. Another sea- son endeavor to box your_ tulips a month earlier and they will do better; November 15 is rather late. C. W. THE ART OF FLOWER i^ ARRANGEMENT s^ By FRED C. V. BROWN DOUBLE INTEREST DESIGNS. The Broken Column. In our last installment we introduced the subject -of double interest designs and we wish here to emphasize , more strongly the necessity of definiteness and simplicity in the construction. It is composition that counts in these larger forms, and it would be well al- ways to keep before you the fact that composition is like a monogram, in which the letters interlace one with another in pleasing proportion. So, also, in your designs, the parts must knit to- gether into one harmonious whole. Note the first of the two pictures of broken columns. This sort of design, because of iti double interest, is neces- sarily complicated; hence we must be careful, in our treatment of it, to sim- plify it as much as possible. The Barber-pole Twist. We find that the double interest of shaft and base has been further com- plicated by the barber-pole effect, which almost seems to shout at you, "U. E. next I" This is poor treatment, for we find that it further intensifies the complexity of the subject. Be simple, but in your simplicity be forcible. Flowers might grow in some such simple form as is shown in the second illustration, where only half the mate- Mr, Brown will be pleased to answer, as this series of articles processes, any criticisms or questions that may occur to his readers. The first article of the series was printed in the Issue of October 10. The next installment will appear in an early issue. rial was used for the cluster, but they will never be considered graceful when placed with the mathematical accuracy of a barber-pole twist. Just here I wish to deviate from the consideration of the art features and utter a strong warning against the use of those big designs that so many of us still seem to admire. Opposition to Funeral Flowers. Among the general public at the pres- ent time there is a custom, more or less prevalent, of inserting in the death no- tices in the newspapers a request that there be no flowers. It is impossible to estimate the loss to florists through this channel alone, and it is surprising that so little effort has been made to trace this public custom to its origin or to locate the cause. I have heard it suggested that it is simply a fashion or fad, and also that it is often done on account of a fear that there will not be a generous response of friends in sending floral tributes. After careful investigation, however, the writer has come to the conclusion that this unfavorable attitude of cer- tain of the public toward funeral flow- ers is largely due to our lack of under- standing of the principles of art. Flowers are sent to a bereaved home as an expression of sorrow, and are supposed to help remove some of the bitter thoughts of the human loss. Flowers have been chosen as the mes- sengers of peace because of their- sim- plicity and purity. Have we been faith- ful to what has been required of us? Is It the Florists' Own Fault? I believe we have only ourselves to blame for this ' * no flower ' ' advertising. We are supposed to understand our business and so we have been entrusted with the confidence of the buying pub- lic, for our customers generally accept our suggestions. But, through a lack of artistic training and understanding, we have abused the confidence placed in us, for we have offered, as a maxi- mum of our skill, freak and cumber- some arrangements of flowers and have styled them "works of art," Unfor- tunately, they are frequently glaring examples of thoughtlessness and bad taste and so we find ourselves victims of these ridiculous creations of minds diseased by the greed for money. We have been trusted to produce soothing arrangements, but have gradually al- lowed our ideas to be so perverted that we have advocated these uncouth mon- strosities, veritable travesties on sor- row, and have forced them on a be- Jandaby 9, 1913.

Grotesque Masses of Flowers. I sincerely believe we are the direct cause of these unwilling prohibitions of funeral flowers, for my investiga- tions have proved, with reference to certain homes from which the strong- est prohibitions were issued, that in some of these homes the most expensive floral arrangements were chosen — cho- sen because of their rich, soothing qual- ities and their artistic merit. This seems to refute the prevailing opinion that the forbidding of flowers is merely a fad or that flowers are not wanted, and seems to substantiate the argument that the real desire of the bereaved families is to be sure that their hour of trial and sorrow will not be ridiculed by the presence of grotesque masses of flowers, violated into the form of a steamboat, a train of cars, or some ani- mal. Art a Business Necessity. I know that there are many who will disagree with the foregoing opinion. It is the hope of the writer, indeed, that these lines will be read by those who do differ, and that they will show the courage of their convictions by pub- licly expressing their ideas, for it is only by a free discussion of this and kindred subjects that we can expect to clear our atmosphere of such money- eating customs as requesting that there be no flowers at funerals. The writer has no hesitation in as- serting and reasserting that this great loss can be traced directly to our lack of understanding of art, and just as long as we persist in sending and sug- gesting these freak forms and sizes, just so long — and a little longer — will the loss continue. I am aware that many of our florists rarely turn out these huge arrangements now, but have substituted the more simple forms and increased the value, when necessary, by using more expen- sive material, but there are just as many who think that to earn $25, $50 or $100 for a funeral emblem, they must use size for the stfke of impressiveness. There are a great many arguments, of course, that might be used to prove how necessary it is to supply the cus- tomer with what he wants, but does he really want it I Are you sure his de- mand is not the result of the years of public custom and of suggestion from youf In order to remedy the evil, it is essential that florists have a better understanding of their own business, so that they will not scoff at art, but real- ize, as they eventually will, that art is an absolute necessity because of its economy. Ered C. W. Brown. PUBLICITY. "Holiday Flowers Will Be Costly" was the headline displayed in the New York Herald for Sunday, December 22, 1912, to a half-column article, stating that prices would be raised fifty per cent over preceding Christmas prices; that the entire stock, with a few minor exceptions, of all plant growers with- in easy reach of the metropolitan wholesale dealers was exhausted, and that there was no possibility of an- other cutting reaching the market be- fore Christmas. A prominent wholesaler was given as authority for this and a lot more, all of which was detrimental to the flower trade of New York city. When the subject of publicity was brought up in Chicago, I, with a num- ber of others, expected a real pub- licity campaign, headed by the S. A. F., with all the local clubs and associa- tions as allies. We expected a vigor- ous handling of the press of the United States from a positive point of view and a strict censorship over all nega- tive matter, such as the foregoing and occasionally other articles are. Our trade is developing in spite of our lethargy, but other business has developed a hundred br two hundred- fold— yes, in some cases, five thousand- fold— through the aid of the press. There is no other one business in the world that can adapt itself to press manipulation as well as ours, and an up-to-date newspaper man, assisted and advised by the good, live wires we have on our various publicity commit- tees, would earn his salary ten times over. If the S. A. F. is not able to finance such a proposition, and presuming that such a man could be employed for, say, $3,000 per annum, with an additional $2,000 for sundry expenses, I will be one of 500 to give $10 a year toward maintaining such a campaign for at least five years, and I am sure there are 499 others in the S. A. F. who will do the same. • This is not decrying the present publicity methods; it is the one thing we can not have too much of, and the right kind of a newspaper man could be a great help toward making these local attempts successful. 12 The Florists^ Review Iam ai:v '.1 r.tl.".. t(i(l!iy 's lia^is is \vli;it iiiij^lit lio tcinicd just. :i lair :i\ri;i;;(! jn-iic, and tlu> jn'os- Iiofts ar.' tliat llu' jiro.Mit pricfs will prevail tlifouuli'Mir ilir ri.iiiiii;^ vcar, \vil!i I'l'ulialily •^oiin' a.l\anr.' whcti ihr spring Iriiilt' opens uji.

Local clubs could, no doubt, be in- duced to contribute toward such a campaign, and I am sure our Lancaster County Florists ' Club would be right in line with its contribution. Albert M. Herr. TEXAS PBOGBESSIVE. Those florists and florists' supply concerns that cater to the wholesale demand may have some appreciation of the rapidity with which the trade is progressing in the southwest, but the great body of florists do not realize the strides the business is making in the agricultural west. For instance, take a look at the illustration showing the store of the Lone Star Floral Co., Chas. Chollar, manager, shown in this issue. It is a Dallas establishment. Texas is full of progressive florists, of whom Mr. Chollar is one. In addition to the decorations of the store, note hisj line of accessories and novelties. Also, it will be worth noting that he makes a profitable side line of canarybirds and goldfish. Some florists handle candies as a side line, but goldfish and birds seem to be the most adaptable things a florist can push in addition to flowers. ONE OF MANY STOBIES. Not so long ago flower stores were all on one floor. Then came the fash- ion, where street floor space commands high rents, of putting the workroom either in the basement or above the store, in the second story. This has been followed, gradually, by the flower store that has selling space on several floors. There are not many, however, that can beat Ratcliffe & Tanner, Inc., Richmond, Va., whose establishment at 25 West Broad street is a five-story aflfair, occupied exclusively for retail purposes. The illustration on page 15 shows the first floor as it appeared during the holidays. Mr. Tanner stands in the foreground. 1»%.'<^. <<^.<4^.<»^.<^^.<<^.<#^.<»%.<#%.'W^.<*^.W^-'*^^^=^'*^'*^'*^^^^^ MR. FOX SAYS GET TOGETHER •^^•^^•^ I r^^-^^-^^: THE SPIEIT OF THE TIMES. [A summary of a talk by Charles Henry Fox. before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia Janu- ary 7, 1913.] We are a fraternity, and a fraternity is strong only as they pull together. This is something the florists have never done. We want cooperation, sympathy with one another. We want to plan our business interests together. We want to study the needs of the grower, the needs of the commission man, the needs of the retailer, and alto- gether we want to study what interests the public. The pathway I to success lies in serv- ing the public, not in affronting it, and this can only he done when the grower, the commission man and the retailer work hand in hand. Would it not be beneficial for the grower to visit the retailer, to come in direct contact with him, get better ac- quainted, not look upon him as an out- sider— just because he does not deal directly with himf We could tell him and demonstrate why carnations were taboo. At the same time we could show him how carnations would be in de- mand if they were grown and packed as they should be. We could give him a line on many little things that we could use, at a profit to him, if he would grow them for us in the style that the public demands. To my mind such an exquisite, deli- cate and perishable product as flowers should be handled with the utmost care j)nd dispatch. If we could adopt a plan whereby we could give an order for a certain quan- tity of stock, have it packed by the grower and shipped direct to the re- tailer, without any delay or handling, it would eliminate an immense amount of loss and waste. Through this close association be- tween the grower and retailer a more perfect understanding would naturally be the outcome and a great many irregularities might be corrected, for the grower would then realize how much better and how much more advan- tageous it would be for him to make his regular shipments daily right up to Christmas, selling at a good price, in- stead of holding them up and in the end not getting as much as he would before. Christmas Uncertainties. Every year I hear the commission man say, ' ' I told them to ship the goods at such and such a date, but will they do it? No!" As a consequence, the commission man is up in the air. He does not know what to promise the re- tailer. He has not the vaguest idea as to how much he will have or what prices to quote. The retailer is like- wise up in the air. He does not know what he will have to pay for the stock, nor how much he can expect to get. Who suffers by this? To safeguard himself at Christmas the store man sidetracks cut flowers and stocks up his place with desirable and salable blooming plants, something he knows the price of. This is something he is really forced to do against his will, for cut flowers are much easier to han- dle than plants. The Commission Man. Now for the commission man: he has come to stay, a necessary factor for the economic development and distribu- tion of our product. It is he who has enabled us to have the choice of stock grown in the surrounding country, and I believe I am safe in saying that there is no other city where the service is as good as that given by the Philadelphia commission houses. Through them w© Charles Henry Fox. January 9, 1913. The Florists^ Review 15 Cbristmas in the Store o the Lone Star Floral G>., Dallas, Texas. are able to replenish our stock with fresh goods from hour to hour. Through them we are able to buy the cream of the stock of a number of growers, as well as the cheaper grades if we want them. Right here I might add that we, as retailers, can greatly facilitate this service by thinking of all we want to order before we hang up the receiver, rather than ordering in sections, thus keeping the delivery boy on the run when one delivery might answer the purpose. Now, while we are getting this excel- lent service, it is necessary for us to keep up the proper balance. By that I mean to support and encourage the growers who sell their goods direct. This always has a wholesome effect on the commission man and makes him behave. We do not want any flower trust. We do want cooperation. In my previous remarks I spoke of direct shipment from the grower to the retailer. Do not misunderstand me. I do not recommend for one minute the elimination of the commission man, nor do I want to belittle his necessary service. 1 simply want to make a plea for a change in the shipment; that the order shall go through the hands of the commission man as of old but the ship- ment go direct, thus eliminating the sec- ond handling. The reason this has never been en- couraged b}' the commission man has been because he has always seemed so envious of his consignor; there always seemed to be such secrecy as to where the goods came from. He would never think of telling you, but, after all, why should there be any secrecy about itf The retailer certainly does not want the consignor. He could not handle all of his product at any rate, and it is not reasonable to supi)08e that the grower, so long as he is treated right, will go back on the commission man who handles his goods. Another clause that might be inserted in this grand fraternity, and one whi[(fch.. our friends, the commission men, ntight well consider, would be the living up to their advertisement — to be whole- sale men in every sense of the word and not to sell flowers to any person or corporation not a florist. I of course am not alluding to the fakers; they are one of the necessary evils, but I do insist that it is absolutely wrong to take orders for funerals, etc., or to de- liver flowers to hotels, restaurants, clubs and colleges, when these orders might be turned into the retail channels. It is nothing new for a hotel man to ask me to quote prices on a little bunch of stuff and, after I have given him the price, to have him turn to me and !-ay, "Why, I can beat you all hollow. I can buy these things as cheap as you can. I can bu}' them of So & So," mentioning the name of a wholesaler. This is certainly an exas- jierating and an embarrassing position for the retailer and such conditions should not exist. What does it profit the wholesaler? These people want the goods and they would buy them of us at a retail profit, and we, in turn, would be giving the wholesaler the price asked. There is no doubt in my mind that once the get-together plan gets in action it will be only a short time when all these abuses will be done away with. All we want to do is to understand each other better. We are all friends and we are each one of us dependent on the other. And Then the Betailer. Now as to the retailer: he is' on the firing line. It is he who is directly or indirectly responsible for public opin- ion on the flower trade. First of all, have your goods marked in plain figures, and marked by the buyer, so that every customer gets a square deal, instead of pricing them at what you think the customers will stand for. Gone forever are the days, when the salesman would quote prices in a subdued tone, for fear the customer at his elbow was being offered the same goods a dollar or so cheaper. Our next consideration is efficiency. For instance, the 100-point man needs no supervision. His work is always fin- ished. His customers are always |)leased. There is no comeback. The difference between a five-dollar-a-day man and a twodollar-a-day man is that the latter requires $'.i worth of super- vision, for which he has to pay. Re- i-ponsibility gravitates to the man who can shoulder it. Business is a composite whole. With- out composite salesmanship your busi- ness cannot be a success. The errand boy is just as important as the sales- man, and the salesman is of little use if the bookkeeper does not keep track of the sales. Right here I want to illustrate how this law of composite salesmanship works out. It was Christmas day, all our work was finished. The phone bell rang; our chauffeur was on the wire, car broken down with thirty packages yet to deliver. We immediately dis- patched five men and boys to get out the packages. Kach was given six to First Fl or of the Ratcliffe & Tanatr St re at Chiiklms« 16 The Florists^ Review Januabt 9. 1013. deliver. At Christmas we have to en- gage extra help. Two of these boys were extras. One of them delivered one package, and then, tired of tramp- ing around in the snow, came back with the rest. Our store, all work be- ing finished, closed at 2 o'clock. This boy, finding it closed, left his packages in care of the taxicab man next door and — skipped. A little later one of our regular boys, one of the composite whole, arrived and discovered the pack- ages that had been left. "Great Scott! This will never do, ' ' he thought. ' So he hired a taxicab, delivered the goods, saved the customers from being disap- pointed— and turned in the bill to the house. This boy is a 100-pointer. We need more of them. Educate them! Elevate them! Make them proud of the flower business! The retailer should make an effort to feature the use of flowers for every occasion by having his windows appro- priately decorated. Your windows are the mirrors of your business. Organized Publicity. I am much in favor of a plan of or- ganized publicity. Let each of us sub- scribe a specific amount per year to feature the use of flowers for the vari- ous occasions. Give out the idea broad- cast that the use of flowers is not a millionaire 's luxury, that we have some- thing to sell that everyone should use and just as necessary to happiness in civilized life as the more staple articles of merchandise. Once we can start this favorable impression, when the man with $1 to spend for flowers feels assured that he is just as welcome as the man who drives up in a taxicab with $25 to spend, a wonderful increase will be seen in the sale of flowers. To show you how these suggestions work, we filled our windows with cra- dles of all sizes, filled with flowers from $1 up to $10, and in two weeks' time we sold over fifty of them. Now, re- member, this was done by suggestion. None of these people would ever have thought of the new arrival had they not seen the cradles in the window, and everybody does not walk down Broad street either. Let everyone of the craft put his shoulder to the wheel and we will sell 500 cradles instead of fifty. This illustrates clearly what can be done to increase the sale of flowers, and without any bargain business either. People will pay you a fair price for anything that is gotten up in an attractive, unique way. But one or two men cannot bring about this favor- able impression. We must have con- certed action. We must work hand in hand and spend money on general pub- licity td make flowers popular for all occasions. Every now and again you see state- ments in the newspapers and magazines that "this year little French bouquets of artificial flowers will be the vogue for street wear." While they are ef- fective and good looking, nevertheless they are artificial and interfere seri- ously with the sale of cut flowers. They eliminate one of our most profitable lines, the corsage bunch. What have we as florists done to counteract this whim of the public? Nothing! We simply sit by and let them wear the artificial flowers, while we keep the fresh ones. This is where the advertising bureau will come in strong. Get a first-class advertising man, have him meet with us at our regular meetings, talk over our plans with him, open our business secrets to him. Then let him write good copy, favorable to the use of flow- ers. In many cases this can be inserted in the newspapers for nothing; in fact, the newspapers are glad to get such copy, but the way it is written has all to do with it. Do this for a year or so and you will find a wonderful change in the public mind in regard to flowers. Let Everybody Boost. About three weeks before the holi- days four newspaper representatives called on me for news on Christmas flowers and their prices. I told every- one this was going to be a flower year; that flowers were never so good or so plentiful as this year, and that they will be cheap — little above the popular price. Everyone was amazed, for the first question they greeted me with was, "Flowers will be very high, won't theyt" It was the same with customers in the store. I instructed every salesman not to dare mention the word "expen- sive" or "scarce" in regard to Christ- mas £owers. Did all this leave a favorable impres- sion? Of course it did. It was positive instead of negative. It helped the pub- lic to decide in favor of flowers. This, gentlemen, is, I think, the proper spirit. This is what we should do to bring the public mind with us, instead of diverting it by scaring them into other channels. In closing, let me say once more that what we want to do is to come to a more perfect understanding. Get more closely associated. Study each others' needs and — ^boost the flower business for all it is worth. SEASONABLE NOTES. Fhalsenopsis. Phalaenopsis are now commencing to make a fine display of flowers. Quite a few were in time for Christmas, a season when choice orchids always are in demand. P. amabilis, grandiflora and the splendid form Bimestadiana are all now in season. Their large, pure white flowers are superb in high- class design or bouquet work. The beautiful pink, P. Schilleriana, is also coming into flower. Its many branched, arching. spikes carry twenty-five to 100 flowers each, occasionally even more. Even when out of flower this orchid is attractive, on account of its handsome variegated leaves. Phalaenopsis must have a warm house; 65 degrees at night is a suitable minimum except on zero nights, when 60 degrees is sufficient. They must never, even in midwinter, be exposied to direct sunshine, as their leaves are easily burned. Neither must they be exposed to anything in the nature of draughts from the ventilators; the out- side air must be well warmed before striking them. It is a common mistake, however, to grow them in heavy shade. This causes handsome leaves to be pro- duced, but the flower spikes are dis- appointing. Care must, at this season, be taken in watering. If the plants are too wet at the , roots the foliage will decay. Keep the moss on the surface of the pans or cylinders slightly moistened and let the plants have a genial, moist growing atmosphere at all times. Lay baits for snails, which are sometimes troublesome', and wrap some cotton- wool around each flower spike as it ap- pears, for protection. Damp frequently on and about the plants and sponge the leaves occasionally, so that thrips or red spider, which terribly disfigure them, may not gain any foothold. Calanthes. What superb midwinter orchids the calanthes are! And how strange it is that they are not yet more grown com- mercially! For decorative purposes on mantels or tables they are . so much superior to cattleyas that comparison is simply odious. Calanthe Veitchii, of which there are several fine named forms, is the leader, but there is the older C. vestita in several colors and a number of hybrids raised within the last ten or fifteen years. If the Messrs. Veitch had never raised any other orchid than Calanthe Veitchii it would in itself suffice to perpetuate their memory for generations to come, and it was, if I mistake not, one of the first hybrid orchids raised, if not the first. Calanthes now are, or should be, al- most at their best, with the exception of the later flowering C. Kegnieri. They should have a rather dry house, with a minimum temperature of 60 to 65 de- grees. The foliage before now has all left the plants and little moisture must be afforded at the root. In fact, there is no need to apply any; the spikes will develop just as well without it, and there is then no danger of causing the bulbs to turn black, as is possible when a little overplus of water is afforded them. Where arranged in a greenhouse for Jandaky 9, 1913. The Florists^ Review 17 effect these plants make a marvelous show now, adiantums being used to cover the pots and some of the naked- ness of the bottoms of stems. Spikes with thirty to fifty flowers are fine, but well-grown spikes will considerably ex- ceed even the latter number. As soon as the spikes are cut, store the plants away on a warm, dry shelf, where they can remain until they show signs of growth at the base of the old bulbs, when they can be shaken out and started in flats of sand and moss in a warm, moist house. PRODUCTION OF CUTTINGS. Will you kindly give me some infor- mation in regard to the treatment of carnations? The growth in some years is thrifty, with fairly good stems and a good supply of cuttings; another year there will be equally good plants and stems, but scarcely any cuttings. What kind of feeding would you suggest for the plants without cuttings at this time? J. F. J. I cannot suggest any reason why a variety should behave much differently from one year to another, in the way of producing cuttings. Of course, you understand that varieties differ greatly in the number of cuttings they produce along the flower stems. Some give cuttings of good size before the flower is ready to cut, while others seldom break from the lower eyes until after the bloom is cut. You cannot feed the plants anything to make these growths come more quickly. Wait for your cuttings until the breaks come, after you have cut blooms a while. If you began cutting in the fall, there ought to be plenty of these now. A. F. J. B. CARNATIONS AT UNCOIJr. Frey & Frey, of Lincoln, Neb., say that there was no shortage of carna- tions for Christmas — they were among the few fortunate growers who were right in the midst of excellent crops for the holidays. The photograph from which the accompanying illustration was prepared was an extremely poor one, but it shows something of the display of color they had on their bench of Victory. The photograph was made December 23, and on that day Frey & Frey cut 6,840 blooms from 35,000 carnation plants. They say their average cut from December 15 to Jan- uary 2 has been 5,240 flowers per day and the cut is still on the up-grade. son. FOB NEXT YEAB. We have mixed the soil for our car- nations for next year, using one-third well rotted manure and two-thirds soil from a corn field that had been well manured the fall before. Would you add bone meal or lime, and when and how much? We have had considerable trouble with our carnations. They look healthy, but plants here and there in the bed wilt down and die. Would mixing the soil with the manure just before it is put in the beds cause this? J. A. F. & 8. The soil you have mixed for your carnations is amply rich; in fact, the proportion of manure is greater than is usually considered right. Three parts soil and one part manure are generally regarded as the proper pro- portions. I would not add anything further at this time. Next season, when the plants are growing, you can add whatever seems lacking, as a top- dressing. The trouble you complain of seems to be the common wet stem-rot. Whether the fungi were added to the soil with the manure or were in the soil before the manure was added, would be difficult to tell. It is cer- tainly a mistake, however, to mix much manure with the soil when it is being brought into the house. Especially is this true if the manure is not well rotted. A. F. J. B.

Kitter, for many years in the flower business at Dayton, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the United States District Court. He scheduled assets of $39,164.75 and lia- bilities of only $24,041.02. Brockton, Mass. — The firm of Jahn & Robinson, 53 Main street, with Walter E. Jahn and Hadley E. Bobinson as the partners, has made an assignment to Attorney Winfield M. Wilbar. The lia- bilities are given as about $2,500 and the assets as about $1,500. New York, N. Y. — Schedules in bank- ruptcy of Butler, Florist, Inc., 18 East Forty-sixth street, show liabilities $19,- 139 and assets $1,468, consisting of cash, $47; fixtures, $262; delivery wag- on, $212; accounts, $939, and fire in- surance, $8. Eugene G. MacCan, presi- dent of the company, is a creditor for $14,650. SPRENGERI GOING TO SEED. I have a bench of Asparagus Spren- geri in which a number of sprays went to seed, so that I can not use them for green. The green is in great demand for my local retail trade. Now, I should like to ask you what is advisable under the circumstances. I mean, which will pay better, to let the seeds mature and sell them to the wholesale market, or to cut out the seeding sprays so that they will not take away the strength of the plants and reduce the crop of green? W. F. H. To a man with an active local retail trade, it would seem that a bench of Asparagus Sprengeri for sprays would pay better than the same space given over to seed producing, from the fact that seeds of this species are usually plentiful in the market and conse- quently do not bring high prices at wholesale. I would advise the cutting out of the seeding growths, except a sufficient quantity for home use; then give the plants a top-dressing of short manure to encourage a new growth. W. H. T.

Such gladioli as America, Mrs. ,F. King, Augusta, Shakespeare, May and others make a profitable spring crop in benches. Do not make the mistake of dibbling them in indiscriminately among carnations and other plants. Give them a bench to themselves, with a good rose or mum soil to grow in. Plant four inches apart in the rows and let the rows be twelve to fifteen inches apart. This will give them am- ple space in which to grow. Do not set out all your gladiolus bulbs at one time, but plant in batches under glass until the middle of March. This will ensure a constant succession of flowers from early April onward. In spite of the introduction of quite a number of new gladioli, none of them are as yet of quite so pleasing a color as Amer- ica, nor do they sell so well. If re- stricted to but two sorts, the small ^ower should take America and Au- gusta. Acacias. Plants of Acacia armata, A. Drum- anondii, A. Baileyana, A. pubescens and others intended for Easter will only require a cool house to bring them into flower on time. Acacias are cool- loving subjects and it is not advisable to give them a winter temperature of over 45 degrees at night. Before the armatas start to make young growths, take off a batch of cuttings and place them in sand in a cool propagating house. The majority will root and if kept grown on, as is easily done, plants equal in quality to any you can buy will be produced. Canterbury Bells. Canterbury bells make beautiful pot plants, and commercial growers as yet do not half appreciate them.' What grand subjects they are at Memorial day! How fine they are for bunching and what a lot of flowers they produce! Easter comes too early this year to get them in good bloom, but through the spring, and in fact until they flower naturally outdoors, they are of great value. This reminds us that it is now time to place a batch of plants in a cool house to be coming along. Water carefully during midwinter. Any ex- cess of 'moisture on the center of the crown or on the foliage is liable to cause damping. Cinerarias. A few cinerarias appeared at Christ- mas this year, puny little things, which no one wanted. They are not a Christ- mas plant. Their natural flowering time is late winter, and the cooler and airier they are grown, the better in quality they will be. Any which still need repotting should be overhauled right away. Press the compost firmly in the pots and leave a liberal space for water. The soil for the final pot- ting should be a liberal one, consisting of about two-thirds fibrous loam and one-third dried cow manure. A 4-inch pot of fine bone can be added to each wheelbarrow load of compost. If wanted for Easter, you cannot grow your cinerarias too cool, and as the sun will soon be a little strong for them, give them a light shade to pre- vent wilting. Rambler Boses. Our first lot of ramblers, housed at Christmas, are just starting to break. These are intended for Easter, the time when pot roses are in heavy demand. At present a temperature of 48 to iiO degrees at night is better for them than a higher one, but with the growths well started it can be raised 5 to 10 degrees* with advantage. Syringe only on the mornings of clear days, so that the foliage will dry out before nightfall, and be careful to avoid cold draughts, which would soon cause mildew to put in an appearance. Dust the plants with flowers of sulphur on its first ap- pearance and paint a little on the steam pipes in addition. Spiraeas. Such popular varieties of spiraea as astilboides floribunda, Gladstone and THE EVERY-DAY WORK. Propagating. After the turn of the year the plants begin to grow more freely and will stand additional feeding and watering. Although for a time not much differ- ence can be noted in the length of the days, yet the tendency is in the right direction and the worst of the rose growers' trials may be said to be over for another season. It will no longer be necessary to watch every bit of wood taken off the plants and they can be given a good clean-out and started up afresh. As a rule, however, at this time of year every bit of wood that can be spared is needed for propagating, for there is nothing like early plants for success. The first thing necessary in success- grandiflora, if not yet potted and placed in heat, should be attended to now. You can flower these in eight to ten weeks. The shorter period, however, means continuous hard forcing. It is better to allow ten weeks, which will permit the opening of the spikes in a somewhat lower temperature. The plants then will not suffer when re- moved to a cool flower store or even if stood outdoors, as is frequently done. The plants stand quite hard forcing. Care should at all times be taken to keep them constantly moist at the root, also to go lightly on fumigating where they are growing. Lorraine and Cincinnati Begonias. It is time now to start propagating begonias from leaf cuttings. A cutting bench with a good bottom heat and with perfect drainage should be used. Select well ripened leaves; others are of no value. I like to cut off a piece of the leaf stalk. Do not soak every day with water, or you may lose many by damping. As between Lorraine and Cincinnati, there is now a pretty gen- eral consensus of opinion that the lat- ter will assuredly displace the former. It is a better grower, makes a more graceful plant and is much superior to the older variety as a house plant. It also sells at a higher price in the markets; reports from several cities state that it was hard to sell Lorraine in competition with Cincinnati. The latter, therefore, is the variety for flo- rists to grow most heavily for Thanks- giving and Christmas, 1913. ful propagating is a clean bench. The old sand must be removed, if this is not already done, and the whole of the woodwork must be thoroughly white- limed, using fresh, hot lime. This will kill all insect life and remove all traces of the damping-off fungus that is so dangerous in the propagating house. Then have the joints of the bottom boards covered with lath, to prevent the sand from falling through, and fill in with three inches of clean sand. The sand should be firmly rammed and lev- eled and it is then ready for the cut- tings. Have a bed or a portion of a bed always ready in this way, and then any wood that can be spared from the plants can be cut up into cuttings and rooted. Temperature for Propagating. The proper temperature for rose cut- tings to root in is a few degrees higher than that in which they have been growing. Thus, if the night tempera- ture of the house has been 60 degrees, give them a bottom heat of 65 to 70 degrees and keep the tops cool and shaded. This gives them an impulse to Januaby 9, 1913. The Florists' Review 19 Frank J. Tarney. Robert Q. Shoch. B. EBchner. Arthur Zlrkman. The Incorporators of the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia. Raymond Brunswick. root rather than to grow and is more satisfactory generally. An important point in propagating is not to allow draughts to reach the cut- tings. For this reason a bench in a large house, shaded and well away from the top ventilators, is better than a bench in a small, narrow house, such as is usually recommended for propa- gating. Selecting the Cuttings. With regard to the condition of the wood for propagation, almost any wood will root, but if a regular strike is looked for the wood should be in a semi-ripened state. The harder the wood, the longer it will take to root, and when mixed with wood that is greener an uneven strike is inevitable. But it frequently happens that, owing to scarcity of wood, everything must be used and the results are fairly good. One trouble is that some of the younger wood roots more in the sand than is good for it and consequently does not transplant well. But where one has to work up a large stock quickly, such things have to be put up with. Renewing the Sand. The one detail more important than any other is absolute cleanliness. Clean sand should be put in at least for every other batch of cuttings. It may be put out in the sun after use, and used again when thoroughly "baked" clear of all fungous germs and other impurities, but it should never carry more than two lots of cuttings in the bench consecu- tively. Where the old plants were pushed a little for Christmas and New Year's, there is almost sure to be a little red spider left as a legacy from the extra fire heat and a careful watch must be kept for it. We shall probably have plenty of bright days and the hose can be used freely, especially about the lower parts of the plants, where the in- sects congregate most. No insect life can long withstand cold water, forcibly applied, and if its value were more ap- preciated a good deal of money now spent for insecticides could be saved. Belle Plaine, la.— Mrs. Sybilla Wood- ruff, proprietor of the Belle Plaine Greenhouses, has installed a new Kroeschell boiler. She grows carna- tions, chrysanthemums and bedding stock. SEASONABLE CULTURE. The present season has been a some- what peculiar one. We have so far had no really cold weather. On many days the weather has been more suggestive of April than January. Hence, in spite of abundant ventilation, the violet plants, particularly the singles, are making more leaf growth than we like to see, and this always affects the crop of flowers. The fall was unusually warm and plants bloomed with great profusion before housing and for some time afterward. Now, however, the crop is not as heavy as we should natu- rally look for in midwinter. The plants are healthy and vigorous, but the flow- ers are not there. Weather conditions are responsible for this and a continu- ance of such conditions will mean a running out of the plants earlier than usual. To hold singles down to 40 degrees at night has not been possible some- times, even with the ventilators fully open and the pipes cold. All we could do was to keep the minimum as low as possible. A few degrees higher will speedily excite the plants and cause an increased crop of leaves, which we do not want. On the other hand, the doubles in midwinter should be kept at 42 to 45 degrees at night, or they will not open well. Keep runners picked off; remove weeds and any spotted or decaying leaves. At this season the plants will not need frequent watering, but sometimes the surface soil may seem damp and that below be rather dry. Violets like to have their roots cool and moist, and anything like dry- ness will injure them and make them an easier prey for red spider if thev chance to be near the heating pipes. Look out for green fly; it will speed- ily cause lots of trouble if permitted to gain any foothold. Violets will not stand heavy fumigation. Avoid, there- fore, the use of tobacco stems and any of the nicotine extracts. The nicotine papers are perfectly safe. Many of the largest growers now depend on hydrocyanic acid gas. An exposure of twenty to thirty minutes only should be given. This should not be tried by any but careful and experienced hands. For a house 20 x 100, two jars, each containing two ounces of sulphuric acid and four ounces of water, with one ounce of cyanide of potassium dropped in each, applied at intervals of ten days, have killed all aphis and caused no injury to foliage or bleaching out of flowers. In this case one hour's exposure was given, but probably less would suffice. No doubt other growers can give better formulas. Some use the gas stronger, but it is better to err on the light side, THE M. RICE COMPANY. The firm of M. Rice & Co., dealers in florists' supplies, 1220 Race street, Philadelphia, was incorporated under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania January 6, 1913. The capital stock of the new company is $100,000, fully paid. The incorporators are B. Eschner, Arthur Zirkman, Robert Q. Shoch, Frank J. Farney and Raymond Bruns- wick. The firm of M. Rice & Co. was estab- lished in 1894 by the late Moses Rice. The firm was successful from the start, the business growing rapidly. Bernard Eschner was admitted to partnership January 1, 1898. The firm remained unchanged in personnel and in name from that time until Mr. Rice's death last spring. Since then Mr. Eschner has carried the entire weight of the business on his shoulders, a heavy re- sponsibility, as its scope is world-wide. Wishing to keep the splendid organi- zation together, to divide responsibility and to increase the sphere of the firm 's activities, Mr. Eschner decided to in- corporate and infuse new blood by joining with him the most promising men of the house. The name selected, the M. Rice Co., is a tribute to the sterling worth of the founder of the house. The officers are: President and treasurer, B. Eschner; vice-president, Arthur Zirkman; secretary, Raymond Brunswick. Of the four young men who will as- 20 The Florists' Review Jandaby 0, 1913. sist Mr. Eschner in upholding the repu- tation of the house, three are well known outside of Philadelphia. Arthur Zirkman has been traveling for the house since January 1, 1904. The same month four years later saw the addi- tion of Eobert Q. Shoch. July of the same year, 1908, found Frank J. Far- ney looking after the firm's interests in Chicago and the middle west. The debutant of the quartette joined last July, since which time he has been hard at work on the floor of the firm's building. The name of this promising young man is Raymond Brunswick; he is Mr. Eschner 's nephew. ' The wisdom and foresight shown in the new order of things justifies the prediction of a bright future for the corporation. THE VINCENT FAMILY. "While Richard Vincent, Jr., ex-presi- dent of the S.

In the group with Mr. and Mrs. Vincent are three sons, a daughter, and sixteen grandchildren. ST. LOOTS. The Southwestern Market. Local business since the holidays has been fairly good, the weather condi- tions remaining about the same. Bright sunshine and a fairly high temperature have brought a large cut of flowers from all our local growers. Trade for New Year's day was excellent, and the large supply cut prices almost to half what was asked at Christmas. The week opened with buying at times quite heavy, but the supply was so large that low prices had to prevail in order to move stock. Carnations, more "^han any other flowers, have fallen in price and in- creased in supply. Some good stock was offered during the week as low as $10 per thousand. There are more whites than of the colored varieties. Roses, too, can be counted among the items that increased in supply and suf- fered in price. In Killarney all the wholesale houses have large supplies coming in daily and good stock can be had as low as $5 per hundred. There is also a good supply of Bride, Maid, Ivory and Maryland. Beauties, too, have gone down in price consid- erably and the supply has been quite large in all grades. California violets have held up to $1 per hundred all through the week, with quite a good de- mand. Paper White narcissi have been a glut and many went to waste for want of demand. Romans are also plentiful, with the price as low as $15 per thousand. Callas and Easter lilies are coming in freely, with good de- mand. Fine valley can now be had in large quantities at any of the whole- sale houses. Sweet peas are fine and the supply large. New Year's trade was fairly good among the retailers. West end florists say it was better than last year, as a great many kept open house and used decorations of cut flowers. Various Notes. Fred Lembke, representing W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, spent last week here calling on the local and suburban florists. He reports a successful week. Julius Koenig city forester, reports that the recent fine weather started the sap in the maple trees and shrubs throughout the city. The usual tree trimming by his large force has been stopped, but he thinks little damage will result, even should a cold snap come along. C. Young & Sons Co. made a fine decorating job of the annual Imperial Three Gcncrationi of the Vincent Family. ball. The decorator used several hun- dred long Beauties and a great many other flowers. Business has been extra good with this concern since the holi- days. Andy Hoffmann, head of the George Waldbart force, says this holiday sea- son was by far the best in his expe- rience. Everything sold well, especial- ly large blooming plants and long Beauties. They had an immense sup-' ply of everything. A. Jablonsky, of Olivette, had a great cut of fancy carnations for the holidays. They were handled by H. G. Berning with good success. E. W. Guy and Henry Emunds, of Belleville, called during the week and said that Belleville florists all had splendid business for the holidays, with demand about equal for blooming plants and cut stock. A good deal of funeral work has been made up since the New Year. W. C. Smith, president of the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., says th^t business for the holidays this year was the best in his experience. The big force employed by this concern was kept busy filling orders for the local and outside trade. The Engelmann Botanical Club will hold its New Year meeting Monday, January 12, at the Missouri Botanic Garden. Secretary Pring says special features will be introduced at this meeting, of which announcements will be made later. From this a large at- tendance is expected. Mrs. Berning, wife of H. G. Berning, has been ill and confined to her home for the last three weeks. She is re- ported by Mr. Berning as not showing any improvement up to this writing. The publicity committee, consisting of R. J. Windier, Charles Beyer and C. Bergstermann, will, now that the busy season is over, start to work on the fund that was started b|y the Florists' Club at its last meeting. A full report of their work will be read at the meeting this week, Thursday afternoon, January 9. Edwin Denker, the St. Charles flo- rist, who buys his supplies in this market, says he had a large trade for Christmas in both plants and cut flowers. The fine weather for the holidays made things quite busy for the flo- rists near the big cemeteries. Fred H. Meinhardt and the Koenig Floral Co., two of the largest in that section, had a busy time supplying decorations of this nature, especially at Christmas. J. Krug, of Alton, has had a busy time since New Year's. He has had several large decorations. The Alton Floral Co. reports big trade for the holidays. George Mad- sen, head of the firm, is reported con- fined to his bed. The family fears pneumonia. A. G. Fehr, of Belleville, has been reported quite ill at his home, but from last accounts is on the mend. The E. J. Windier Wholesale Floral Co. says that holiday business was beyond all expectations. This concern had a large supply of extra good stock in everything seasonable, and reports valley as a great seller at both New Year's and Christmas. George H. Angermueller has recently had an extra amount of shipping, in supplies and cut stock. His holiday trade was fully up to expectations. Ostertag Bros., as usual, had a num- January 9, 1013.

Temple, the veteran Daven- port florist, fell dead Saturday after- noon, January 4, at Oakdale cemetery, where he had been attending the funer- al of a friend. Mr. Temple had been in good health 80 far as known, but had had frequent attacks of heart failure. This is thought to have been the cause of death. He had been a resident of Davenport for many years and was widely known. Mr. Temple was born in Manchester, England, March 7, 1844, and came to America with his parents when a small boy. After working several years with a florist in the east, his father bought a tract of five acres near Little's Grove, la., and three years later took up residence in Davenport. On the death of his father in 1862, John T. Temple took up his work and soon be- came known as one of the leading flo- rists in his vicinity. For several years he held the position of president of the "Tri-City Florists' Association, and on the organization of the Society of Iowa Florists, at Des Moines, July 1, 1903, he was chosen, as the state's most prominent florist, to be the first presi- dent. The portrait on this page is the •one which appeared in The Eeview at that time; it probably is 20 years old, but was his favorite photograph. Mr. Temple was a member of nearly all the trade societies and a regular convention attendant. He served a term as direct- or of the S. A. F. and for years was a •director in the Florists' Hail Associa- tion. He also belonged to many local bodies, including the Volunteer Fire- men, the K. of P. and the I. O. O. F. December 30, 1868, he was united in marriage with Miss Josephine Ahern, who passed away in 1906. Surviving are only two sisters, Mrs. Joseph Gay- man and Mrs. Louise Downs. Funeral services were held privately Tuesday, January 7, at the home of Mrs. Downs, followed by public serv- ices at Trinity cathedral. There was a large attendance and a wealth of flowers. Practically all the florists of the Tri-Cities were present in a body. Interment was at Pine Hill cemetery. Mis. Jas. Murdoch. Mrs. Margaret Murdoch died Decem- ber 31, aged 71 years. Mrs. Murdoch was the widow of James Murdoch, one of the old-time florists of Pittsburgh. For many years they were on Smith- field street, with greenhouses and nurs- ery on Squirrel Hill. Mrs. Murdoch presented the city with what is known as the Murdoch entrance to Schenley park and the name has been associated with the florists ' business of Pittsburgh for more than fifty years. There are three surviving sons, two of whom are still in the business, Jas. B. Mur- doch and W. B. Murdoch, who have a wholesale house on Ninth street, with greenhouses at Canonsburg, Pa. Bobert B. Hoon. Robert B. Hoon, the well-known flo- rist and market gardener, died suddenly at his home in Mercer, Pa. He had been in poor health for several years, the result of a stroke of paralysis. He John T. Temple. had not been feeling well for several days and experienced considerable trouble with his heart, but his condition was not such as to cause any uneasiness. He had spent the greater part of his life in Mercer and was respected by everybody. He was an elder in the Second Presbyterian church. He was married three times, and is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter. James W. McNary. James W. McNary, one of the pro- prietors of the Dayton & Xenia Nurs- eries and an influential resident of Dayton, O., for some years, passed away at his residence, 215 Summit street, Dayton, December 31. He had been gradually failing in health for several years. Two days previous to his death he was attacked with pneu- monia, and this complication culmi- nated in his death. He was born in Harrison county, Ohio, March 1, 1857, and had been engaged in the nursery business for years. He was at one time connected with the firm of Hoover & Gaines, west of Dayton. Surviving him are his widow and three small children, Helen, James and Robert McNary. B. J. Wakeman. Bradford J. Wakeman, of B. J. Wake- man & Co., the nursery firm of Che- banse. 111., died at his home near Che- banse, December 21, at the age of 71 years. He was a son of James H. Wake- man, who conducted a nursery in that vicinity in the Iftte fifties. Bradford Wakeman was born at Elmhurst, HI. In 1861 he enlisted as a musician in the Thirty-third Regiment Illinois Infantry and was soon pro- moted to ' 'chief fif er, "in which ca- pacity he served during the entire Civil war and participated in many of its important battles. After being mus- tered out, he settled at Chebanse and married Etta Root, and since then he had been active in the promotion of his business interests. He leaves to mourn his loss, besides his wife, two sons, George and Oliver, of Chebanse, and three daughters, Mrs. Mary Ballard and Mrs. Emily Sykes, of that place, and Mrs. August Erickson, of Kan- kakee. William J. Young. William J. Young, one of the pionee# florists in the Philadelphia district, died January 3, at the home of his son, W. J. Young, Jr., in Germantown. He was 77 years of age. The funeral was held ; January 6 and was largely attended, j there being many flowers. D. L. Dalgleish. / David Laidley Dalgleish, for maify years a greenhouse builder and carjJen- ter contractor at Milwaukee, Wis., passed away at his home, 264 Twenty- seventh street, on the morning of De- cember 25. He was born at Selkirk, Scotland, September 30, 1843, and made his home at Milwaukee in 1872. He has been an active member in Scottish gatherings. He is survived by his wife and three sons, Alec, David and Ben, and four daughters, Mrs. C. H.

You get them. We both have them. One of the serious shortages is that of nicotine insecticides; none of the manu- facturers is able to fill orders. Christmas money should now be com- ing in strongly and collections, always slow in December, may be expect^^ to make a much better showing this month. 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. The trade will find it of importance to note the quarantine order issued De- cember 17 by the horticultural authori- ties in California. It is printed in full on page 66 of this issue. Beaders are again reminded that full name and address (not for publication) are necessary if inquiries are to receive attention. Inquiries can not receive at- tention unless the identity of the sender is known. If the parcel post has accomplished nothing else thus far, for the first week of its operation it has pretty effectively demoralized the rest of the postal service. If your Eeview is late, be assured it was mailed on time and that the parcel post is responsible for the delay. G. E. Black, Independence, la., whose article "Observations on Gladioli," read before a western horticultural society, recently appeared in The Eeview, is afraid he will be accused of having taken a Eip Van Winkle nap unless his re- marks are amended to make clear that since the address was given E. E. Stewart has introduced the variety No. 52 as President Taft and that the Coblentz No. 312, or Emma, is now known as Violet King. BBITISH BOSE SOCIETY. The annual report of the National Eose Society, the second largest of England 's horticultural organizations, is just to hand and contains some points of interest to Americans. Of course, the membership is largely ama- teur, but during the last twelve months 810 new members have joined the so- ciety. Allowing for the losses by death and resignation, the total number of members is now 5,504. Taking the year as a whole, two new members a day have, on an average, been added to the list of membership. The finan- cial statement shows an income of ap- proximately $20,000, with a balance of $2,000 and a reserve of $7,500. The society spent in publishing in the year over $3,500; for show expenses, $2,500; for prize money, nearly $4,000; for medals, etc., over $750. The first spring show ever attempted by the so- ciety is to be held May 1, in London. WELL PLEASED BEADEBS. Buy of tlie Advertisers. It is an axiom in the advertising world that the publication that is bought to read is a good advertising medium. Hence The Eeview values such letters as these: The articles on "Art in Floral Arrangement," by Mr. Brown, have been worth the price of the paper alone. Things of a high order are what give merit to a trade paper as well as to any other business. — Frank M. Paine, Traverse City, Mich., December 27, 1912. Enclosed you will find that dollar — a dollar that is better spent than twenty-five others, for The Review is simply indispensable. — Roy B. Erb, care Milot-Mllls Co., Wenatchee, Wash., December 22, 1912. BONA FIDE CIBCULATION. In these days of the square deal in business it is considered unprofessional for a publisher to save up his sample copy privilege at the postoflfice and then run out a big sample copy edition — yet some publishers do it. Such sample copy editions always are issued for effect on the advertiser — the effort is to palm them off as representing the regular circulation. When any publisher comes at an advertiser with some sort of an affi- davit as to the circulation of ONE issue, the advertiser will be safe in assuming that the EEGULAE edition is decidedly smaller. A good many advertisers who are on the square themselves, in their deal- ings with the public, decline to use space in any publication which springs a ONE edition afl5davit until a similar affidavit has been produced showing the SMALLEST edition within one year. The smallest edition is likely to be the EEGULAE edition. SOCIETY OF AMEEICAN FLOBISTS. Appointment by President. President Farquhar has appointed George Asmus, Chicago, a member of the National Flower Show Committee for a full term of six years, to succeed J. A. Valentine, whose term expired December 31, 1912. John Young, Sec'y. January 3, 1913. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Following the holiday rush, business on the local market has quieted down considerably and, while the regular run of business enables the wholesalers to clean out, there is no great flurry at the present writing. Possibly the most important feature just at this time is the steady increase in carnations, which are being cut in large quantities. Ap- parently the big crops that failed to materialize for Christmas are just be- ginning to come on the market. Both growers and commission men are look- ing for enormous cuts before many more days. Thus far the demand has been fairly well equal to the supply and, while no mpre than moderate prices are being obtained, the whole- salers are able to move them without any great amount of trouble. Shipping trade has not been extraordinarily brisk since New Year's and the greater aipount of the stock now being re- ceived is being disposed of to the local Jandahy 9, 1913.

Just now the popular flowers are our fancy Double Violets and big Trianae Cattleyas, with Valley=-you need Valley in every bunch, and ours always is good. In a little while, too, we can send you Sweet Peas that will make everybody sit up and take notice. BEAUTIES There are two features of our Beauty supply that make the trade marvel — the quality and the steadiness of the cut. All growers get good Beauties once in a while, but ours always are fine and WE ALWAYS HAVE THEM. If you have a trade that calls for Beauties we can be of service to you. Glad to help. FANCY ROSES There are three reasons why the thinking buyers are ordering their Roses of us this season: — 1st, there is no finer lot of stock; 2d, our growers doubled their glass last summer, giving us quan- tity, and, 3d, we have a full line. Specially strong on Killameys and the new yellow roses. CARNATIONS We ask all those not thoroughly satisfied with their present source of supply to try us on Carnations — might try us anyway, for we are known as having the largest supply of strictly high- grade Carnations on this market.

Owing to the unsettled weather conditions, the retailers in the city have not found any special de- mand. The first snow of the year came January 3, when a drop in the tem- perature took place. Since that date more or less snow has fallen, but the weather has not been severe, as it was last year, when zero weather had a firm grip on this region. The cloudy weather, however, has been a help to the wholesalers, as it has prevented a bigger cut of carnations and, while it has affected the retailers, it has held the market steady. The greatest call at the present time is for stock suitable for funeral work and enough short roses cannot be had to supply the demand. The longer ones do not find such a ready market, but appear to be moving along in good shape. Killarneys are still in big sup- ply, but roses as a general rule are being cut in smaller quantities and the heavy crops are passing off. Beauties are of excellent quality. The long stemmed ones are being cut freely and command a good price. Eichmonds are not so much in evidence and have not been since the holiday season. The new roses, such as Mrs. Aaron Ward, Sunburst, Lady Hillingdon, Radiance, Melody and Mrs. Taft, are bringing good prices and sell almost as fast as they are cut. Violets have dropped off and during the last week the demand for these was rather light. Orchids and valley also met with a like fate. On the other hand, lilies and other flowers in de- mand for funeral work have experi- enced a brisk call and prices have taken an upward trend, with hardly enough to go around. There are quan- tities of Paper Whites and Romans that are selling slowly. Jonquils have become abundant, but the quality is nothing extra. Quite a few tulips are seen, but they still are too short in stem to find much favor. Sweet peas may be called the one scarce item at the present moment. All the good ones find a ready market and there is a call for more, of which, strangely enough, the sellers do not appear to take advantage by asking better prices. Retailers themselves ad- mit that good peas would easily bring better prices than have been the rule in this market. CARNATIONS Full supply of Carnations. The cream of the crops are now coming in and we know that they are the best to be had anywhere. All lengths of stems, but we have some long ones that are surely winners. KILLARNEY WHITE KILLARNEY BEAUTIES SUNBURST The Roses are as fine now as they ever are and the quality is bouhd to give satisfac- tion. We have some long-stemmed Killar- neys that cannot be touched by anyone in this market — fine color, too. ORCHIDS VIOLETS PAPER WHITES LILIES ERNE & KLINGEL 30 E. Randolph St., CHICAGO Mention The Bevlew when you write. Green goods still are in excellent request. December Weather. It is interesting! to note that in De- cember the growers enjoyed fifty-one per cent of the possible quantity of sunshine; the normal for the month is forty-one per cent. At the same time the mean temperature was 4 degrees above normal and the wind movement below normal. Consequently, December could be described as an ideal growing month. Probably the growers will not soon have another December so favor- able for the Christmas crop. Various Notes. The E. C. Amling Co. reports that several of its growers have winter- flowering strains of the Butterfly sweet peas in considerable quantity this season. January 9 is installation night with the Chicago Florists' Club. The meet- ing will be held at the Union restau- rant, 68 West Eandolph street, A.

N. J. Wietor calls attention to news- paper notices recently published about every stenographer in certain cities having worn a red rose on the anniver- sary of Pitman's birth. He says flo- rists ought to encourage these observ- ances. Peter Eeinberg is one of those who will give The Herald a trial with the standard red carnations next season. He received his young stock January 6. Miss Anna Grace Sawyer, retail flo- rist at 4042 West Madison street, moved into a new store one door west a few days ago. It is a decided im- provement over the former quarters. C. W. McEellar says New Year's is steadily improving as a flower day. At Winterson's Seed Store the pack- eting of flower seeds is now progress- ing rapidly. A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna- tion Co., says that while growers do not now buy novelties in such large quantities as a few years ago, several times as many growers are willing to test from 250 to 1,000 plants, so that aggregate sales increase instead of decrease. The traveling force of the A. L. Bandall Co. is preparing to take the field again this week. Edward Leslie and Hans Bowoldt have been sued in the Superior court for $25,000 damages. They operate as the Kedzie Florist, at 3401 West Madison street. August 29 their automobile was in collision with a motorcycle rid- den by a boy, whose father now brings the suit for the loss of the lad's left hand. T. E. "Waters says that Poehlmann Bros. Co. will considerably enlarge its florists' supplies department in antici- pation of a heavy Easter demand. The annual meeting of the Horticul- tural Society of Chicago will be held at the Art Institute, January 14, at 3 p. m., for the election of officers and such other business as comes up at this time.

PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. New Year's business was fully up to expectations, excepting, possibly, on the holiday itself. There was a large sup- ply of material, an excellent shipping and a fair local demand, at prices about one-third lower than at Christmas. Business for the first week of this year has been fair. The open weather, unusually mild for the most part, has encouraged production, while the de- mand is, of course, lighter after the holidays. The carnation crop is coming on fast. Prices have weakened more than on any other flower. The quality generally is fine. Boses are going off crop a little, particularly Bichmond. The shorts are selling much better than the fancy grades. The latter are quite cheap, a condition that is unlikely to last long. Violets held their own well imtil January 4. Since then they, too, have fallen off in price. Sweet peas of fine quality are more plentiful in all the colors. White lilac is superb and now can be had with reasonable cer- tainty. Freesia has made its appear- ance. There are just a few more daf- fodils. Qardenias are coming on crop. There is a moderate supply of cypripe- diums and cattleyas, also some mixed orchids. Valley is quiet. Greens are still dull. The Parcel Post. The effect of the new parcel post that went into effect on New Year's day, so far as its usefulness to florists, gen- erally was considered problematical. John W. Mclntyre is the first whole- saler to report on the new arrangement. Mr. Mclntyre says that for light packages of flowers and greens, such as sweet peas and asparagus, the new method is cheap and reasonably quick. Mr. Mclntyre 's first shipment by parcel post came from Holtwood, Pa., in the center of the state. It cost 14 cents BERGER BROS.

Charles Henry Fox delivered an able address before the Florists' Club Tues- day evening, January 7. His subject was "The Spirit of the Times." A lively debate followed. Fourteen of the employees of the Henry F. Michell Co. are taking the course in salesmanship at the Sheldon school. Samuel S. Pennock returned to work January 6 after a ten days' absence, due to the critical illness of his son, Charles F. Pennock. The lad, who as- sisted his father for two days during the rush, was taken ill on Christmas day. Pleuro-pneumonia set in and for ten days he was critically ill. An oper- ation January 5 caused an improve- ment. The latest report is that the lad is doing well. William F. Dreer was a visitor in the wholesale district this week. Pink was the prevailing color in the decorations for the Assembly ball at the Bellevue-Stratford January 3, which J. J. Habermehl's Sons arranged with artistic skill. Jandabt 9, 1913.

Thomas Potts, who represents the Floracroft Greenhouses, of Moorestown, N. J., says that the demand during the last three months has been better and more evenly sustained than during any season in his recollection. Louis J. Eeuter, of Westerly, E, I., whose firm has branch stores in Nor- wich, Conn., and in New London, Conn., and Charles Schmidt, of Harrisburg, Pa., were recent visitors. The Leo Niessen Co. will put an- other new Autocar of one and one-half tons' capacity on the street next week. It will replace a smaller car of another make. The volume of business in Christmas plants, says the Eobert Craig Co., showed a gratifying increase. The Henry F. Michell Co. unloaded a quarter of a million pounds of redtop seed this week. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are making preparations to assist Cupid with some dainty offerings, for St. Valentine 's day. Berger Bros, point to some splendid white lilac. A. Harvey & Sons, of Brandywine Summit, Pa., have a fine crop of pink, white and lavender sweet peas. William J. Young, Sr., one of the pioneer fliorists of Germantown, died January 3, aged 77 years. The funeral services were held at the residence of his son, William J. Young, Jr., on Janu- ary 6. Samuel Edelman has been promoted to the position of city salesman for the M. Eice Co. John M. Good and Frank Good, of the Good & Eeese Co., Springfield, O., recently were here accompanied by Mr. Murphey. Eobert Fyle, president of, the Conard & Jones Co., spent Christmas in this city. PhiL Godfrey Aschmann has been in hard luck. Krst, a favorite horse died, after eleven years of faithful service. Another one cost $200 and it, too, died a few weeks ago. Then Mr. Aschmann himself became ill, December 13 and the doctors feared gangrene or Dlood poisoning in one of his legs, but now he hopes to be out by the middle of January. His Christmas business was handled satisfactorily, but under diffi- culties. "The best ever" was the consensus of opinion among the staff of M. Eice Co., when asked how they enjoyed the dinner and theater party given in rec- ognition of faithful service rendered during the year of 1912.

We want to call your special attention to OUR DAINTY TWO-TONE BASKETS They are little beauties in style, form and the soft blending of two flower colors. They are adapted for Violets, Sweet Peas, or even for a small plant in bloom. Tumbler Baskets will also be one of our most attractive specialties. We have a new silk fiber ribbon that will meet with instant approval. In texture it is finer, in color it is brighter than the old silk fiber ribbon — best of all, the price is down — just think of it, a superior ribbon at an inferior price!

Even the holiday celebration of the advent of 1913 hardly created a ripple in the placid market. Apart from the banquet to the President and the funeral of Ambassador Eeid, no special call for cut flowers developed. A few large weddings and several so- ciety dinners tended to relieve the monotony of the week. Prices of roses and carnations sank gradually to the usual midwinter level and little change is now anticipated before the early Easter activity materializes. Between this and the National Flower Show in April there seems little danger of stagnation and the retail trade looks forward hopefully to ten busy weeks, which culminate March 23. The two weeks' interval before the exhibition which follows Easter gives but little time for the finishing touches of "the greatest show on earth," as Chairman Totty and his aides begin to rever- ently call it.

The left-over plants and combination baskets from Christmas sold well for New Year's. Cut flawers were not widely called for and wholesale prices were less than half the Christmas quo- tations. American Beauties led the de- cline and all varieties of roses joined in the procession, with the exception of a few of the latest novelties, and of these there is yet a limited supply. Of Killarney and the older kinds there seems to be no limit. Carnations now are abundant and 4 cents was top for everything but the specialties. Lilies and valley are moving slowly and at lower quotations. Violets also have fallen, with a top at 50 cents as the week closed. Many thousands of white violets met with no demand whatever. Good single violets sell best this season. There are plenty of or- chids, especially cattleyas and cypri- pediums, and no wide demand, the quotations depending on necessity rather than quality. Gardenias hold well, the best revolving around $5 per dozen. There is now no dearth of callas and they must be exceptional to go above $10 to $12 per hundred. There is an abundance of sweet peas, wall- flowers, narcissi, hyacinths and tulips. Poinsettias have followed mums into the limbo for the season. Various Notes. The Florists' Club will hold its first session for the new year Monday eve- ning, January 13. President Siebrecht agrees with President Wilson that 13 is his lucky number.

Bowe had a couple of dinner decorations last week that were up in the four figures and McConnell, Dards, Bunyard and Clarke's Sons all say the season has opened brilliantly, with the bookings of weddings and dinners more numerous than ever. The president of the New York Flo- rists' Club is an enthusiastic bowler and a member of the Astorias. All the gardeners' societies in this seetion are showing renewed interest in this once popular sport and a national tour- nament is already planned for the week of the National Flower Show, Thumm 's fine alleys having been engaged. Many handsome cups and prizes have already been secured by Secretary Ebel. Splen- did clubs are now rolling regularly at Yonkers, Rutherford, Glen Cove, Tux- edo, Flatbush and Astoria. It is J. S. Nicholas and not John D. Nicholas who will open the florists' store at the entrance of the liew Grand Central terminal building at Easter. Mr. Nicholas has a retail store on Forty-second street now, which will be continued. He is also proprietor of the building on West Twenty-eighth street, in which are the wholesale stores of Messrs. Kessler, McManus, Siebrecht & Siebrecht, W. P. Ford and the Growers' Cut Flower Co. J. Austin Shaw. • December 27 the members of the sales force of Wertheimer Bros, were entertained by the firm with a dinner at Blaser's, on Broadway. All present voted the affair most enjoyable. The flow of eloquence and enthusiasm was unrestrained and the participants dis- banded only at a late hour. MILWAUKEE. The Market. Although the high prices asked for cut flowers, especially carnations, put a certain damper on the activity of business, it was only of short duration, for January 3 and the day following the demand, both locally and shipping, was quite brisk. Monday, January 6, everything was cleaned up before clos- ing time. The installation of the re- cently elected county officials, coupled with plenty of funeral work, was the direct cause. The weather has been dark for some time, which, of course, reduced the daily receipts. Everything seems to move in a most satisfactory manner. Club Meeting. January 2 a lively attendance was on hand to help install the officers of 1913 in the new and cozy clubrooms, located in the Quiet House, at 86 Mason street. N. Zweifel read an article published in one of the trade journals, entitled, "Florists' Clubs, Their Field and Their Duty," written by J. O. Thilow, and read before the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos- ton. The article contained many good points and valuable information and much credit is due Mr. Zweifel for his idea of bringing it up at that time. C. Dallwig was master of ceremonies in installing the new officers and in a fine manner gave everyone a clear idea of what is expected of him for the coming year. HART*S HANDY HANDLE PRICES Per doz.

John Terry, who conducted a flower shop at Second street and Grand ave- nue, has closed his doors for good. The A. F. Kellner Co. had the decora- tions at the Deutcher Club, for the Sylvester celebration. A. Sanders, of Skidelsky & Co., Phila- delphia, made the rounds in this vi- cinity about the first of the year. Other visitors were James Matthewson, She- boygan, and P. Bliese, Waukesha, "Wis. The Currie Bros.

Will you please give us the name of the enclosed geranium plants f J. H. M. & C. The flowers were badly withered, but as nearly as could be judged the va- riety is S. A. Nutt. C. W. NAME OF PLANT. I send a cutting of a plant that blooms outdoors all winter in the state of Washington and seems to look ex- tremely well. Can you tell me what the name is and if it can be propagated from cuttings or seeds f It is new to me. They call it the devil tree, as it is so prickly one can not touch it without it seeming as if needles are sticking you. E. G. The specimen is XJlex Europseus, com- monly called whin, furze and gorse in Europe, where it grows abundantly. It has no doubt been introduced into your state from Great Britain and should establish itself quickly, as the two cli- mates are somewhat similar. It cas be propagated from cuttings or seeds. The seeds are produced abundantly and you will find this method of propagation the simplest. C. W. ALL FLORISTS READ Laurel Festooning, only $3.50 per 100 yards.

SAVING CUCUMBER iSEED. I have saved some cucumber seed from vines grown under glass last sum- mer, with the purpose of establishing my own strain this season. But I have been told that if the seed is sown this winter or early spring, the plants will go to vine instead of producing fruits. Is that correct? Your advice will be much appreciated. H. J. P. It is a fact that new seed, just dried, is not the best to plant, but seed that has been dry several months is perfectly safe. Seed that is 2 or 3 years old, how- ever, is better than 1-year-old seed. Al- though the plants are not quite so strong in growth, they fruit a little more heavily. Excellent results are ob- tained, however, from seed saved the previous season and such seed is quite generally used. It should be kept in a warm, dry place, so as to age faster. H. G. MAGNESIA LIME FOB SOIL. Is magnesia lime a good thing to use to sweeten the soil in greenhouse benches? If so, how should it be used? What is the right quantity per square yard and how often should it be ap- plied? Will it injure growing plants or lettuce? Which is preferable for this purpose, the common lime or the mag- Livingston's Select Extra Early White Spine Cucumber is of unequaled purity.

Calcined magnesia, or magnesia lime, is chemically different from common lime and altogether too expensive to be used in its place.

Stock is scarce and has been so for some time. Roses are hardly equal to the de- mand, which has been quite brisk. Carnations have to be ordered in ad- vance, if any quantity is desired, as the daily shipments are comparatively small. Heralds of spring are arriving in larger quantities as the season ad- vances. Among these. Paper White narcissus is the most plentiful and a large number of this flower came in just too late to be of use for Christ- mas. Yellow dafifs are coming along nicely. Roman hyacinths have also put in an appearance. There has been an unusually heavy demand for valley. Lilies have been in good supply, but are now falling oflf. Sweet peas have been scarce. New Year's business, in this city, was the best ever. Some of the re- tailers pronounced it a little Christmas rush. Various Notes. George Hopp, of Grand Rapids, is shipping in some grand single violets. Some of the finest Killarney seen here are from the houses of F. J. Knecht & Co., Fort Wayne, Ind. The daily cut from A. J. Stahelin's place at present is from 5,000 to 6,000 carnations, but these are but a drop in the bucket.

The Centrally Located Florist Shop We cner All Pnits in New EisUii employ of Fred Breitmeyer for some time and filled the position of foreman in the old range until Christmas, when he moved to the Taylor place. He is well known to the trads as a first- class grower and it was with much regret that Mr. Breitmeyer let him go. He has the best wishes from all the boys in the trade. The output from Mr. Van Beversluys' establish- ment will be handled by the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. The bright weather we have had since the holidays has done much to- ward hastening along the crop of Thos. F. Browne, of Greenfield. George E. Browne is keeping busy these days and his stock looks the part. Breitmeyer 's decorators have been busy with some large decorations at the Hotel Pontchartrain. Beard Bros, cleaned up well on their stock of plants for Christmas. They are well pleased with trade in general. A check forger has been taking ad- vantage of the holiday rush among the florists. He relieved E. A. Fetters of $12.50 and the Bemb Floral Co. of $7 in cash. Each also contributed a box of Beauties. Fred Breitmeyer is shipping excel- lent single violets and his roses are fine. Now that Norman Sullivan has the new greenhouse completed, he is happy. The house gives him an additional show room, 20x85. Sixty feet is used as a show room and is partitioned off from the rear twenty-five feet with a wood partition. The rear is glazed over as well, but is used as a store- room and a large door allows the de- livery auto to be loaded inside. Eobert Klagge took special pains to have a good crop for Christmas and was right on the job with fine freesia, single violets and daffodils, as well as roses and carnations. When J. B. Dinser, of Highland Park, was returning from the market one day last week a street car col- lided with his delivery car, doing con- siderable damage.

Fortunately, neither Mr. Dinser nor his mother, who was with him, was injured. Main 974, the phone of the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House, is kept pretty busy since Mr. Maynard has been in charge. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange exceeded all previous years in the vol- ume of business done during the holi- days. This firm handled the best holly and mistletoe seen in Detroit, sellinji over 1,000 pounds of the latter. A bi^' business in ruscus and statice was also done, and many hundred plant baskets were sent to local stores. James Carey has a fine crop of Kil- larney coining along for January. Leopold Mallast, of Mount Clemens, is cutting some choice snapdragon. B. Sehroeter is already showing some Dutch hj-acinths, in pots, in his store window. The Bemb Floral Co. received large shipments of stock, for the holidays, from the greenhouses of August Von Boeselager, Mount Clemens. Mr. A'on Boeselager had the decorations in the Park hotel, at Mount Clemens, for the Kay wedding. His work would h;ive been a credit to a New York florist. When business is dull at the stand of llufford & Maebius, in the Broadway market, then Mr. HuflFord is kept busy counting his profits at the Broadway Lunch stand, which he also owns. A. Van BeA'ersluys, of Mount Clem- ens, is shipping some fine sweet peas, but not enough to go around. Sydney Tinkler, of the same city, is also busy cutting carnations, but with all the carnations coming in there is still a shortage. H. 8. BOSTON. The Market.

Russell seems to be more prominent than Beauty in Boston and all the retailers seem to like it. Both Killarney and White Killarney are selling well. Among the yellows, Mrs. Aaron Ward seems to be more popular than either Sunburst or Hillingdon. Carnations are still oflf crop with many growers and prices show a little ad- vance over a week ago. Beacon con- tinues to sell well. Pink Delight is also a prime favorite. Enchantress is much less abundant than a year ago. White Wonder is the leader in its color, followed by White Enchantress. Violets held at $1 per hundred. They met with a good sale on New Year's day. Sweet peas are rather too plen- tiful and prices have softened. Val- ley is selling well and so are Freesia Purity, trumpet daffodils, yellow mar- guerites and snapdragons. Longiflo- rum lilies have been selling briskly. There are some speciosums also coming in. Stevia is less plentiful. Tulips of several colors are now quite abundant and several varieties of yellow nar- cissi are arriving. There is a good supply of Cattleya Trianse and other orchids. Gardenias are of good qualitj'. The demand for green stock is better than a week ago. Various Notes. December, 1912, was much warmer than normal. Eainfall was over six inches, considerably above the average. There was a deficiency in precipita- tion of over eight inches for the year, however. Comley, on Park street, among other flowers in his window, has hybrid gerberas, Daphne odorata, dimorphoth- ecas, Swanley White violets, rhododen- drons and chorizemas. Mann Bros., of Randolph, have now a fine assortment of tulips and narcissi. Among the latter are two good bicolor varieties. Silver Spur and Walter T. Ware.

Among the growers who have re- cently added auto delivery cars to their outfits are Paine Bros., of Eandolph, who have a fine Stoddard-Dayton, and Patterson's, of Wollaston, the newest type of Autocar. I am pleased to report that Frank P. Putnam, of Lowell, is now able to be around again after a siege of pneu- monia. The White Wonder, Pink De- light, Gloriosa and other carnations coming to the Flower Growers' Sales Co. from Mr. Putnam's North Tewks- bury greenhouses are of splendid quality. Wm. Patterson, of Wollaston, is sending in large daily shipments of Paper Whites, Bomans and trumpet daffodils to the Boston Flower Ex- change. Geo. W. Foster, of Tewksbury, grows carnations well. At the Boston Cooperative Market I noted fine Eo- sette. White Wonder, Winsor and Bea- con from him. Work on the new wholesale flower market at Winthrop Square is being rapidly pushed ahead and the Boston Flower Exchange will move there about February 1. The new quarters are convmodious, a vast improvement over the present dark, congested market. E. C. Bridgham, of the Newton Eose Conservatories, is having a fine cut of roses at present. Business at his store at 67 Beacon street, Boston, has been good since the holidays. D. F. Hutchinson & Son, of Lexing- ton, are devoting their houses to car- nations and sweet peas this season and now have a heavy pick of each.

Zinn, on Park street, is making a specialty of crotons and other colored- leaved plants in window boxes. I no- ticed some fine phalsenopsis in his orchid display. Burgess & Cooney, of Maplewood, are shipping quantities of Paper Whites and daffodils to the Boston Cooperative Market and will have a fine lot of bulbous flowers until after Easter. J. W. Foote, who for several years grew such sensationally fine Bouvardia Humboldtii, has dropped its culture this season. He has a fine house of Pink Delight carnation, one of White Won- der, and has as fine Beacon as are seen in the Boston market. We are glad to see Edward MacMul- kin around again after a long sickness. Business at the big Boylston street store has been good this winter. James Farquhar sailed last week for a visit to Italy and southern Europe, to secure a much needed rest. He will no doubt incidentally pick up some new ideas which he may embody in his display at the national show in April. Letters from John W. Duncan, now of Spokane, and lately of Boston, re- port the death, December 18, of his father, at the ripe old age of 86. Mr. Duncan is busy on Spokane 's new parkway system and hopes soon to place it on the map with any city of like size. The Waban Eose Conservatories are receiving lots of orders for their new rose, Mrs. Charles Kussell, and only a fractional part of the orders for flowers can be filled. At some of the better class stores Peter Fisher's new carnation, Gorge- ous, is now a feature. This looms up over carnations in much the same way as Beauty has heretofore done over other roses. F.

January opened with remarkably warm weather. It was 60 degrees in the shade January 3 and the same night the wind reached a velocity of eighty miles an hour. Plenty of loosg squares of glass were blown out of greenhouses, but no serious losses were reported. Plowing was quite general here for several days. W. N. Craig. PRINCETON, ILL. January 1 the Trimble Greenhouse Co. took possession of four additional greenhouses which were recently added to its plant on East Peru street. Two of them were purchased from the es- tate of the late N. P. Colberg. The Trimble company has now sixteen greenhouses, which have a total glass area of over 82,000 square feet. Seven years ago the concern started with two houses and has grown steadily year by year. Nothing but flowers are grown at the Trimble plant, roses being the specialty. Most of the flowers grown are sold at wholesale in Chicago and other large cities. A contract dated January 1 contains an order from the Rock Island railroad for 65,000 carna- tions to be used during the year on the dining cars and at hotels along the road. STEAMEB SAILINGS.

B. Keodel, Cleveland. O. Kalph M. Ward, New York, is on a western trip. Albeet McCullough has returned to Cincinnati from the Pacific coast. Visited Rochester: L. C. Eoutzahn, Arroyo Grande, Cal.; E. O. Pieper, San Jose, Cal. The trade will find it of importance to note the quarantine order issued De- cember 17 by the horticultural authori- ties in California. It is printed in full on page 66 of this issue. The Michael Seed Co., of Sioux City, la., has moved into its new building, at 316 Pearl street. The building is of fire- proof construction, covers a space 25xlo6 feet and is two stories high, with a foundation sufficient to support two more stories. The new five-story building for the Portland Seed Co., of Portland, Ore., is nearing completion. The structure cov- ers a space 100x100 feet at East Alder and East First streets, and will cost $40,000. It will be the main home of the company. There \\ as an interesting little gather- ing of seedsmen and growers' representa- tives at Washington Tuesday, January 7, to witness the opening of the bids for the government contract for 1913 crop. The order will be more widely distributed this year than usual. California had in 1912 probably the best crop of lettuce harvested anywhere in the world, though it was nothing to brag about. Consequently the stocks are cleaning up better than usual and there is a prospect of putting lettuce back in the list of money crops. Cautious houses are selling bulbs for 1913 delivery "subject to change in duty." There is no more than a remote prospect that the Democratic administra- tion will get a new tariff law into opera- tion before the 1913 importations are in, but there is every prospect that if it does there will be one important change: the duty on hyacinths will be put back to $2.50 per thousand, as most of the trade believe it was intended to be in the present law. The Lima Bean Growers' Association, of Oxnard, Cal., sometimes called the "bean trust," went out of existence December 31. At a meeting of the stock- holders, who include practically all of the bean growers in Ventura county, the association was dissolved. It was an- nounced that the growers would reor- ganize on a cooperative basis. The asso- ciation was organized three years ago and virtually controlled the price of com- mercial lima beans.

Box 752. or 31 Barclay Street, NEW YORK Mention The Review when you write. Maupin & Bekryman, of King City, Mo., have nearly completed the interior of their seed house. A new twenty-five horse-power engine has been installed. The congressional free seeds distribu- tion for 1913 has begun. When the seedsmen begin mailing their catalogues the government begins mailing its seeds. It is a more or less general complaint that weather conditions, in Europe as well as in this country, have not been favora- ble to the drying of seed crops, resulting in belated shipments. E. H. Shumway, of Eockford, 111., one of the oldest seedsmen in the coun- try, was born and raised within six miles of the store in which he now conducts his business. His father removed to Illinois in 1836. His mother was a cousin of Horace Greeley. He is of Green moun- tain stock, from the state of Vermont. He claims to be the longest of anyone in the mail order seed trade by six years, beginning his business in 1870. A COMMENTATOR notes that "there is one matter connected with these succes- sive years of poor seed crops that has a serious aspect, namely, the deterioration of stocks that necessarily follows. If a field of cabbage or beet, for example, has to pass through a season of extremes of weather, it is only the coarser and sturdier plants that survive. The more delicate plants die, and these latter be- long often to the choicer strains, the re- sult being that there is a marked dif- PEDIGREE SEEDS ■ ; i CATALOGUE 1913 NOW READY MAILED ON APPLICATION WATKINS & SIMPSON, Ltd.

S m PACIFIC Coast Department iiSLS5tXSLA3JSStA3 Ji^LJi^jr:^'^:^ FBEEZE IN CALIFOBNIA. Los Angeles, Oal., January 7, 1913. — There was a most disastrous frost throughout southern California on the nights of January 4 to 6, the tempera- ture being the lowest in thirty years. There are reports of enormous damage in the citrus fruit districts, both oranges and lemons being badly hit in spite of the general use of smudge pots. Truck growers also report heavy losses, acres of vegetables and seedlings having been destroyed. In the vicinity of Los Angeles, growers of bulbous stock and other outdoor florists' stock have lost thousands of dollars. One grower, having tender nursery stock under lath, estimates he has lost $15,- 000. A San Pedro grower reports $800 loss on Paper Whites. It is feared many small growers are ruined. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. An elegant clean-up in all the best staple lines of cut flowers and plants, both for Christmas and New Year's, is the situation this season. Immediately after the first great holiday a lot of good funeral work developed, and in some cases there was a diflSculty in ob- taining sufiicient stock. Some of the Japanese growers of carnations re- stricted the quantity of their cut, in anticipation of higher prices for the Pasadena annual tournament, and this still further complicated matters. But all in the trade, retailers and whole- salers alike, are agreed that there never before was so good a holiday. Koses were in excellent supply from indoors, and in most cases were of the finest quality. Killarney, Richmond, Prima Donna and My Maryland were leaders; the last named was especially good this year. Carnations were good and fairly plentiful, but the prices ruled high. Violets were equal to the demand; so, also, was valley, but of orchids the supply was limited. Large numbers were used, but many more could have been used had they been forthcoming. Centaureas were about the only standard flower of which there was an oversupply. Great bunches of cut heather made a splendid show in the retailers' windows and sold well. Green's of all kinds were plentiful and good. Only a few plants were left. Various Notes. A. Blomquist, of the Baird Park Nur- series, Bairdstown, has had a severe at- tack of rheumatism, which has left him in pretty bad shape and compelled him to use crutches, only temporarily, it is hoped. He has the sympathy of his many friends in the trade. Although I have frequently had oc- casion to mention the splendid stock shipped to Wright 's Flower Shop from the firm 's greenhouse plant at Gardena, it is over two years since I visited it until last week. There is a great dif- ference in the size of the place, as there are now 120,000 feet of modern glass, all in splendid order. Although the Christmas crop had been cut, there was a splendid showing in all the popular varieties of roses and some fine novel- ties. The Beauties rank high, but I think the palm must be given to Prima Donna. This fine rose seems well suited to the heavy adobe soil in this valley and the flowers were being cut with 3-foot stems and absolutely perfect foliage; not a sign of mildew or black spot was seen.

Eadiance I was disappointed in; it does not do so well here as in other nearby places. The old Chatenay is still grown here and does remarkably well summer and winter. Carnations are good, J. G. Brown, the skilled grower here, being a specialist in their culture. There is also a fine houseful of gardenias, with good foliage and flowers. These are Mr. Brown's pet plants and no one else is allowed to handle them. The whole place is the acme of tidiness and ordet, and, without throwing any bouquets at Brown, I can honestly say that Tom Wright is lucky in having such a man to look after his place. He takes de- light in his big charge and apparently has every detail well in hand. I took the trip with my friend Henry Turner, in his big Stoddard-Dayton, and while he does not stop for much in the way of obstacles, a 100-acre field newly irrigated proved a little too much even for him and we had to make a detour. Coming from a big seed barn was a big man whom they call Jack Bodger in these parts, and he it was who was re- sponsible for the irrigation project, sweet peas being the objective; 100 acres were already sown and another 100 were being made ready. It looks as though the aphis has not scared Mr. Bodger or his father, who, I was sorry to learn, has been under the weather of late, "Just getting an order for forty-three ounces of petunia seed ready for the east," said our friend, as he again made tracks for the seed barn, Mr. Bodger must have put up one for 75,000 Boston Ferns Ready In all sizes from 2 inches up, / The same grand stock we sent out last season.

US, for, following his directions, we came to a ditch big enough to stop a bulb salesman, but the big yellow car makes little of such obstructions and a few miles of good road brought us to Lawndale and Frank Speakman's place. Here Mr. Speakman and his partner, Mr. Dille, were busy taking the after- [Contlnued on page 66.] SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The weather has turned slightly warmer, after a spell of several days of frosts. Although not severe at any time, it has been enough to stop out- side growth and as a consequence we have nothing to show outdoors except narcissi and violets. Of the latter, although the flowers are not quite so plentiful as they have been, there is enough to meet all requirements. In- side stock since the holidays has been piling up in many quarters. Roses are a shade more plentiful than they usually are in the month of January, but carnations have advanced in price fully twenty-five per cent since our last quotations. There is no scarcity of them, as one might think from the fact that they have advanced, and it is the season, apparently, rather than the scarceness which appeals to the grow- ers. Romans and valley are in good form and color and move fairly well. Other varieties of inside stock have ad- vanced slightly in the last two weeks, but are bound to lower in price in a short time. Now that the principal holidays are over, it might be well to recapitulate. Christmas trade was much better than that of New Year's day and practi- cally everyone was sold out of stock. The trade during the holidays, from all accounts, was for cheaper articles, but the aggregate was well up to last season. Various Notes. T. F.

Quiet prevails in business since the passing of the Christmas rush. New Year's business was light, yet there was some business to justify extra ef- forts. Several decorations were on the calendar and dinner parties were nu- merous.

The vio- let venders did an enormous business Christmas. As their licenses are issued quarterly, several failed to renew Jan- uary 1. In dull months they migrate to other sections. This is one of the problems the florist has to contend with. Jonquils are to be had in lim- ited quantities, the first harbinger of springtime. Various Notes. S.

It was the most ex- tensive decoration that has been done in this city for many years. The entire hall was canopied with fir boughs. Poinsettias and red carnations were used in profusion. E. E. C. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Trade following the Christmas rush has been good and an additional spurt New Year's cleaned up most of the stock of cut flowers, while pot plants are none too plentiful. The heavy cut of carnations continues, but the ship- ping trade is taking the surplus and the local supply is hardly equal to the de- mand, growers being pushed to fill or- ders. Consequently prices are firm. The supply of roses remains moderate and the demand for all grades is good. A few poinsettias were left over from Christmas, but have been disposed of advantageously this week. Local vio- lets are hardly procurable, but the California varieties are here in abun- dance. There is good sale for bulbous stock. Paper Whites and Bomana are selling well and the few Trumpet Ma- jors offered are quickly snapped up. Valley is scarce, while sweet peas are not in much demand. The market is short of orchids and freesias are also scarce. The supply of plumosus is, as usual, inadequate. Several large dec- orations have made heavy demands on the supply of huckleberry.

This year it was more widely dis- tributed over the country than ever before, one small lot finding its way to Florida. The holly decorations on the British Columbia exhibit at the land show in Chicago were also respon- sible for a few orders. The holly out- put here is limited; it is not a native of the island, but has been imported from England and planted in the gar- dens of the older residents, from whom the whole supply is obtained. This year, I believe, a holly farm shipped its first cut, about 4,000 pounds. The price paid on the trees was about 40 cents per pound and the supply was sufficient for the demand. In cut flowers, carnations were the leaders. Boses were practically absent, as the large proportion of mild, cloudy weather this season was not favorable to their growth. Chrysanthemums were good and plentiful, California violets were plentiful and the quality was splendid. In plants, azaleas were the leaders, with poinsettias and the usual flowering plants in good demand. The prices, of course, differed, but the following would be about an aver- age: Carnations, red, extremely scarce, $2 per dozen; all other colors, $1 to $1.25; chrysanthemums, $1 to $5, with probably $3 as a good average; Paper Whites, 60 cents; violets, 25 cents to 35 cents per bunch.
