The Florists^ Review 13 MEMORIAL DAY » Me OPPORTUNITIES The purpose of this issue is to g:et 10,000 florists to push Memo- rial Day as eners^etically as many of them pushed Mothers' Day |ITH a wonderfully success- ful Mothers' day business to furnish the inspiration, progressive retailers now will turn to Memorial day, only a fortnight away. The florists made Moth- ers' day — made it by combining in proper proportion a suitable sentiment and profitable publicity. The Eeview showed the way. The trade did the rest. As is stated by a big Kansas City retailer, who has himself followed The Eeview 's Mothers' day sugges- tions, "it put thousands of dollars into the pockets of florists" all over America. And now comes Memorial day, with a ready-made senti- ment, with the backing of a custom almost half a century old. There already is an enormous business for Me- morial day, but the same methods and efforts that proved so profitable for Mothers ' day will add im- mensely to it, will put still other * ' thousands of dollars into the pockets of florists " all over America. It is worth thinking about. Modem Methods. provides a fine foundation on which to build. Specialties for the day have been developed that provide the basis for advertising. There is the possibility of taking orders in advance and working up stock ahead of the time designated for delivery. • It is an annual event of unlimited possibilities for the resourceful retailer who remembers that we take out of a business just about in proportion to what we put into it — in intelligent effort. v* .. . To make the flower business profitable in these modern days, the re- tailer must employ differ- ent methods from those in vogue a decade ago — he must not be content to await the buyers; he must prepare specialties for special days; he must let the public know of these seasonable sales; he must book orders in ad- vance; he must organize his force so thoroughly that he can put through a big run of business on time to the minute and without mistakes. If the details be neglected in any particular, if any cog in the wheel does not per- form its allotted task, the retailer will see his more systematic neighbor pass into the leadership. Memorial day affords one of the best opportunities of the year for the florist who is in touch and tune with modern merchandising methods: The sentimental appeal of the idea is strong.

Work in the vrords : "There is a beantif al sentiment In connection with the remembrance of loved ones departed, by piacina: some token of respect or affection on their Braves on the nation's Memorial Day." The first thing to do is to arrange for something to sell. You can't push for special business without having a specialty to offer. This time it will be the cemetery wreath. The kind and price will depend on the class of trade you handle. Then you will arrange the making up and delivery. Just what do you purpose doing? What will the stock be, how put up, how handled? Do you wrap in paper, or pack in a box? Are the customers to take their purchases home or shall you deliver? How about delivery on the grave in the cemetery? Appeal to Sentiment. When you have decided these details, and possibly many more pertaining to your individual establish- ment, you are ready to tell your public of your plans. It is time to plan your advertising. Above all things, don't refer to the occasion as an "old soldiers' day" — it is far more than that. So long as the graves of war veterans were the only ones ' ' decorated, ' ' the day amounted to noth- ing for florists. It was when the general public took it up that the de- mand on the florists began to grow. And don't call it Decoration day — Me- morial day is the oflScial title and much the better one for fostering the sen- timent so valuable to our business. Remember that flowers are ' ' messengers of sentiment." Don't let your public forget it — you will find that even the gruffest are sentimental- ists at heart. As One Advertiser Did It. Planning the Campaign. Busy days lie before the florist who takes full advantage of the possibili- ties of increasing his Memorial day sales. First of all, he must lay his plans with care. Then he must see that they are carried out with the closest attention to every detail. It may sound rather difficult to the man who never has studied selling, but to the ones who have tried it along the lines suggested by The Review it has proved remarkably easy, as the great success? of Mothers ' day demonstrates. Every Memorial day ad- vertisement should con- tain a reference to thfe general observance of the day and to the sentiment that prompts it, some- thing like the following, cut from a last year's advertisement of a Cleveland retailer: "There is a beautiful sentiment in connection with the remembrance of those loved ones departed, by placing sonie token of respect or affection on their graves. Knoble makes a special Memorial day wreath of galax or mag- noha leaves at $1.50, $2 and $2.50 (cut showing one at $2.50) that is just right for this occasion and excellent value. 14 The Florists' Review May 15, 1913. rMemorial Day Wreaths Bartennann'a skillad designers have made CTinnwl preparation for a quantity of beau- tUUL but moderately priced wreaths. ■ ■■lliw grow thouMsdi of select pcoDies.

MEMORIAL DAY WREATHS. An enormous quantity of loose cut flowers and cheap bouquets still is sold for Memorial day, but the business of the day really began its growth with the advent of the cemetery wreath. In the beginning these wreaths were too expensive for a large general sale, but in recent years there has been a steady decline in the cost of these specialties of May 30, and with declining cost has eome increasing sales. It is nothing un- common now for a florist with a good funeral work trade to dispose of 1,000 or more wreaths each Memorial day. When the retailers began advertising cemetery wreaths for May 30 the price oaually was $2.50 or more — it was not thought possible to do a money-making business at a lower price than $2.50. Now $2 is about the popular figure, and a great many stores feature Memorial day wreaths "at $1.50. The policy to be adopted in any particular case of course d^ends upon the class of trade that is catered to. An extra 50 cents permits giving a great deal better quality, or a great deal better service. The aver- age flower buyer still expects good service, no matter how low the price paid. With the increased use of Memorial day wreaths there has come a most welcome increase in the variety avail- able. In the beginning the Memorial day wreaths were mostly made of ^[alax. Then the prepared magnolia leaves came into such general use that the sale of galax was noticeably cur- tailed. Then came prepared oak foli- age, ruscus in special Memorial day colors, and a great variety of other less widely used materials. The more kinds of wreaths there are to sell, the easier it is to suit individual preferences. Variety is the one thing the average flower store stands most seriously in need of. In some parts of the country the bulk of the Memorial day sales are of wreaths of artificial material. Until quite recently it was considered in cer- tain circles as rather unprofessional for a florist to sell cloth, wax or metal flowers, but nowadays it is recognized that when customers would rather have tin designs than those of perish- able material the florist should meet the demand, though not missing an op- portunity to educate his people to bet- ter things. In a good many instances the cemetery wreaths are trimmed with artificial flowers. If that is what one's trade demands, that is what one should MEMORIAL DAT- WREATHS 1.50 MafCBoHa Wrentlis as low as -z* • Cat Flowera, C«niatIonfiM> Tt'ohi^m, 9'y-^r-': ■ 16 The Florists^ Review May 15, 1913. if a large cut is wanted for printing on good paper it will be necessary to order it of The Eeview — electrotypes are supplied at less than the cost of the original. A NEW FIELD. Since last Memorial day we instal- lation of the parcel post ^s opened a new field for progressive florists. There are thousands of cemeteries in towns where there are no florists. The leading citizens of these country com- munities have the same refinements of taste as the people who live in closer touch with florists. They will buy Me- morial' day wreaths in considerable numbers. A large business can be done by reaching the lot owners of these country cemeteries. It can be done by letter, if the addresses are available, or by newspaper advertising. The parcel post gives quick, cheap, reliable means of delivery. A cemetery wreath can be sent for a few cents postage, and if the town addressed has a special delivery postoflSce the investment of 10 cents in a special delivery stamp has the double effect of insuring the package and ob- taining immediate delivery. The spe- cial delivery parcel post is almost as good as the florists' messenger delivery service could be. As Gtrtootust G>ffman See* the Sittuttios.- cent carnations are used a fair selling price must be obtained, but the spray can be sold cheaply where low-priced flowers are to be had. Put a sample spray in your window, with a card tell- ing what you can do, if you want to increase this feature of your Memorial day/business. Do it today and begin taking orders. OUT-OF-TOWN DELIVEEY. Memorial day is one of the special occasions when there is an exceptionally heavy run of orders for delivery in distant cities — people who are away from the old home like to order flowers to be placed on the family resting place in the distant cemetery. If you do no more to encourage this business, put a card in your window, and hang another in your store, telling of your facilities for the delivery of flowers in practically any cemetery anywhere in the United States. But charge enough. One trouble with these exchange orders is that they fre- quently call for long trips for little money, and usually at a busy time. An order to be worth telegraphing from one florist to another should call for at least $5 worth of flowers. ILLUSTRATING ADS. To illustrate your Memorial day ad- vertisement, look through this and pre- ceding issues of The Review and pick out the style of cut you want — your local newspaper will make a reproduc- tion for you, of the kind to print on its grade of paper. The cut shown in the Johnston ad reproduced on page 13 was made from a clipping from The Review of May 18, 1911. Dozens of florists illustrate |ill their ads that way — it 's one of the ways in which they find The Review regularly useful. The Album of Designs also is full of cuts that are useful for illustrating retail- ers' printed matter. If a small repro- duction is wanted to print in a news- paper, the paper itself will make the cut from the picture in the Album, but HAS SHOW HOUSE UFSTAlBS. Willis W. Kinyon has opened his new store at South Bend, Ind., and the ac- con^panying illustration shows the taste- ful interior arrangement, the store force and also a novelty in the way .of a second-floor show house. The new lo- cation at 138 South Michigan street is in the heart of the city, and the store is so situated that the elevated show house affords a splendid advertising me- dium for the business. The display of blooms may be seen across the street, being an attraction to passers-by. When he leased the place, Mr. Kinyon ar- ranged with the owner to remodel the interior as shown in the illustration, and in addition to a show house open- ing directly into his store he has the use of the main floor space for storage and packing.

Well, in this, the first city to observe Mothers' day, this one was the best yet, even though we had bad weather. Every flower in the city was sold, and of every color. There was as much ■call for colored as for white flowers and it was the easiest big day of the year. Saturday 's sales this year were seventy- five per cent of the total Easter Sat- urday sales. All we have to do now is to see that the governor and mayor issue their proclamations, and have the ministers announce it in the churches, and pub- lish a little advertisement, and the crowds come — and it does one's heart and pocketbook good to see them come, whole storefuls at a time, from 8 a. m. until 11:30 p. m., and carry their own packages away, in most cases, so that only the regular delivery help is needed. Now that colored flowers go, and we have got it fixed in people's minds, all we have to do is to hold the price rea- sonable and do the business. As I wrote you years ago, push it.^ I want to «ay The Beview has pushed it and done wonders. Thanks to The Review; long may it live! Chapin Bros. LESSONS OF MOTHEBS' DAY. Chief of the lessons of Mothers' day is that of the power of publicity; sec- ond, the effectiveness of concerted ef- fort. The florists made Mothers' day. But for the florists the lady to whom we are indebted for the beautiful idea would never have got anywhere with it. Mothers' day has made progress just in proportion to the push the florists put behind it — where the florists sat flupine, there Mothers' day is practi- cally unknown; no extra business. The trade made, Mothers' day — made it commercially — made it by individual effort directed to a common end — the sale of flowers. But Mothers' day got started wrong; too much emphasis put on one special flower. We must change that. It can be done — ^by concerted effort. Let every individual push colored flow- ers and the Mothers' day demand soon will be equalized, prices brought to a reasonable level and the day made one of the most profitable and generally satisfactory of all the special flower days. For Mother at home, flowers bright. In Mother's memory, a flower white. HELPING MOTHEES' DAY ALONG. The following advertisement, three columns in width and illustrated with a cut of a carnation, appeared in Phila- delphia daily papers Saturday morning, May 10: atli, u^ Mother's Smile that Lights the Way straight Ahead.— Mother Dear and Dearer' Wherever you are, I hope this will reach you to F.

Since you left the time has been long, but neither In the bright days nor in the dark nights have you been forgotten. Though others have come into my life and are dear to me, yet no one ever has or ever can take your place. That old, patient smile of yours still lights the way like the white carnation of your footsteps ahead of me along the road of life. In your memory we have gathered all the white carnations we could find (and other colors also) to the extent of 25,000, and all who visit us today are requested to accept and wear the token of a thought of mother. The 25,000 Carnations for Our Friends will be found In the Grand C!ourt of Honor this morning, and, so long as the flowers last, each of our visitors Is asked to accept one. This year's white carnations are so few that we have taken all the carnations, in all shades, that our florists could find in their gardens. According to our custom, we will have a Mothers' Day meeting in Greek Hall at 3 o'clock today, with Miss Anna Jarvis, the Pounder of Mothers' Day, presiding. The speakers will be Dr. George W. Bailey and Mr. Frederick B. Hodgins. Our own people will render a musical program. John Wanamaker. It resulted in the purchase of nearly 50,000 blooms. The first order of 25,000 I carnations gave out in the middle ol the day. More were sent for. When all that came to town were used roses were taken in their place. People stood in the line all day, each receiving one flower. It is thought that this enter- prising bit of advertising gave Moth- ers' day a great advance in popularity in Philadelphia. Phil. [Wanamaker 's New York store worked the same plan and it is reported in the New York news-letter in this issue that 60,000 flowers were distributed. — Ed.] FERTILIZEE FOR SPRENQERI. Will you tell me what commercial fertilizer to use for my Asparagus Sprengerif The plants have grown in boxes for a number of years and should probably be thrown out and replaced with new plants, but I am not quite ready to do that. They are throwing ^A-'J- '4 18 The Florists' Review May 15, 1913. up some fine new growth and I thought that, if fertilized, they might be held over for another year. A. B. M. As asparagus is grown entirely for the foliage, some fertilizer should be used to develop leaf growth. For this pur- pose nitrate of soda or ammonium sul- phate are perhaps the best commercial forms to use. Sodium nitrate may be used at the rate of two to three pounds per hundred gallons of water, or am- monium sulphate at the rate of three to four pounds per hundred gallons. Sodium nitrate is a little quicker in its action than ammonium sulphate. Both of the fertilizers mentioned are used for the nitrogen that they contain. In the use of commercial fertilizers, care must be exercised not to use them too strong. ^ The plants may be watered with one of the foregoing solutions once or twice a week until tihe plants are again in good growth, when the so- lution should be used less frequently. H. B. Dorner. TY1»ICAL OEEENHOUSB. The accompanying illustration shows a typical florists' greenhouse. It is the establishment of A. M. Stackliouse, at Minerva, O. As so many florists do, the owner grows a variety of plants in one house, probably handling just enough to satisfy his trade. In case of a large order, it follows that he would have to call upon some of the larger . growers to help him out, but the picture shows that he is a busy grower and handles quite a variety to accommodate his trade. < ' IP r f s:t*^<»^: >-fef»>-'^»)-'yr»)-fer»>-fe»)-fer»>'yf»>' ^ THE TREND OF TRADE A YOUNG MAN'S VIEWS. The "Gfet Together" Theory. I have read with a great deal of in- terest the articles under the heading, ' ' The Trend of the Trade, ' ' which have been published in The Review from time to time. To my mind the. problem re- volves around the "get together" the- ory. There are three distinct factors of our business in which we are highly in- terested— the grower, the commission man and the retailer. The problem should be studied from all three angles, so that we may gain a full idea and correct impression of the conditions which should be changed and undoubt- edly will be changed in a few short years. In every florists' meeting held since the first of the year the atmosphere has been charged with the tense thoughts of the wide-awake florists. They realize fully the various problems that con- front the trade. They not only realize but have expressed their views fully, and in this way they have started other florists' thoughts in the same direction. And at the present day the florists over the entire country are wide-awake, won- dering and discussing how conditions may be bettered. Now, for the sake of argument, let us skim over the troubles of the grower, commission man and retailer. Mistake of Staying Home. The average grower is a man who stays at home most of the time. Bight there is one of the biggest mistakes he could possibly make. Why? Because the man that stays at home is not in a position to know where he can get the best value for his stock. It is a big benefit for a grower to go to the large markets several times a year, and look into the selling conditions. If he has customers out of the city, let him make it a practice to call on them not less than twice a year; let them know he is interested in them; inquire as to how shipments arrive, if the stock he grows is as good as the other fellow's, and if not, ask them where the dif- ference lies. And in a great many cases the customer may be able to pell how to remedy the fault. Don't th^nk for a minute that simply because a man does not produce the stock his advic^ is not reliable, for a wide-awake retailer must be posted on all lines of the busi- ness. One of the conditions existing be- tween grower and , commission man is detrimental to both, and is a constant bone of contention. A grower who consigns on commission has no way of holding the consigiiee ' for the goods. When he places his shipment on the train, that shipment *^h<)uld be under the responsibility of the commission man. Legally, the shipment belong!^ to the grower until sold or dumped; prac- tically, it belongs to the commission man. It is this condition that arouses antipathy and mistrust of the grower toward the commission man. Commission Man's Troubles. If the head of the commission house is careless in handling stock which is consigned, it is reasonable to suppose that his employees will be careless also. This means rough handling of flowers, which soon spoils their beauty. I have seen flowers in the retailer's icebox that showed no resemblance to the flow- ers the grower had produced. Who loses? The grower, commission man, retailer and, worst of all, the final pur- chaser. M6st of the commission men are anything but careless, but just the same this condition should be changed in some manner that would work no hardships on either grower or commis- sion man. The commission man is the most abused man on earth. He gets the kicks going and coming. If not the grower, then the retailer. He certainly holds an unenviable position. To my mind his greatest cause of worry is the rush season or holiday time. He does not know until he sees the stock just what he has to sell. He books orders for certain amounts on certain days, and at the last minute he finds that the stock he has been depending upon did not arrive. Of all provoking things, that is the worst in the business. His blood nearly turns to water when at the last minute he has to turn down an order, and in all probability lose a good customer. This should not be. When a commis- sion man does the best he can for a grower during the slump season, it is no more than right to expect the grower to do the same when prices are high and stock scarce. Another point which would materially help the com- mission man is this: A grower who is making regular consignments should keep him posted as to the condition of his stock. If a big crop is expected, notify him, tell him if it is good, bad or indifferent, and the approximate time it will last. This would aid both per- sons concerned. The commission man would know when a certain crop was coming, what kind of stock and variety. He would make plans to push this crop as fast as it came in, and, if he is energetic, get a good price for it, which in turn would affect the grower's check. The commission man should be on in- timate business terms with the retailers with whom he deals. He should find out from them what the public wants, VUw in One of the Houses of A. M. Stackhouse, Minerva, O. ?»'-''7 May 15, 1013. The Florists' Review 19 what varieties are creating the heaviest demand, and then pass this item on to the grower. Would not all three parties be benefited by this method! Grower to Betailer. Now the retailer-^ne has his troubles, too, and plenty of' them. It is prin- cipally through him that lies the suc- cess of the florist business. He is the one who directly reaches the public; therefore, he has to be constantly on the alert. Public opinion, as we all know, is a queer instrument. Yet, if this opinion is cultivated in the correct man- ner, nothing is too great to expect. We inust all take our hats oflE to the re- tailer, when we think of the demand he has created in the last few years; of the modes and methods he has u.sed to arouse the flower-buying public If each man by himself has created a de- mand, who can imagine the result when [they all get together? Now the question is, where and how lean a retailer be benefited? Here is a suggestion that might mean much or might mean little: Would not the re- jtailer do better to deal directly with the grower? An arrangement could be made whereby both would be benefited. The grower could quote an attractive price to the retailer for the entire sea- Son on a regular order, the price to re- main the same through all holidays. I Any extra orders coming in during the I holidays from the retailer should be [shipped at market prices. This method would not work a hard- Iship on the retailer at certain seasons of [the year when prices are out of all rea- son. The grower would have regular jrders to depend on during the gluts ind slow seasons. The public would be senefited by the lower selling price. The entire trade would be benefited by the Increased sales of flowers and plants. ^A great majority of the people buy 'something else at Christmas and Easter because they think the florists are rob- bing them, and justly so. When the grower and retailer decide to work together, they will soon notice a mutual benefit. The retailer could teep the grower posted concerning crops to grow, when to have them in full crop and in numerous other ways. The retailer by this method would have the satisfaction of knowing just what certain variety was coming into crop tnd when. Knowing this he could ad- ?^ertise accordingly, which would no ioubt add to his yearly sales. Keep the Windows Up-to-date. . The principal fault among many re- lailers is the use of old blooms. They kre too set on selling all of their flow- krs, whether they are fresh or old. To Ulustrate this point I am going to cite in incident that happened only a few peeks ago. I was in one of the large kities a short time ago and happened lo meet a man I knew intimately. We lalked a few minutes about my busi- ness, which finally led him to tell me of In incident that happened to him in purchasing flowers. He had given a theater partv and had purchased cor- ^ges for all of the ladies in his party. Pe went on to say that by the time Jhe show was half over the corsages looked a week old. The flowers were Evidently not fresh and should not ►ave been used under any circum- tances. The gentleman is a liberal fower buyer and was highly incensed at Ihe treatment he had received. Here- after he will no doubt deal with some W. J. Vcsey, Jr. other retailer. Can you see where the retailer gained by using those old blooms? The average retailer does not give enough attention to his main attraction — his window. Too many crowd alto- gether too much stock into their win- dows. To the passer-by it merely cre- ates an impression of color, and nothing more. The window should have a great deal of thought and time expended upon it, as it is an acknowledged fact among the trade that the window, is the principal medium of advertising. The window should be decorated in pretty, attractive manner and method. Make the window a novelty, the talk of the town. Make the people realize they are seeing something new, either in style or arrangement, every time they pass the window. There is no argument to this statement, for it is a fact that in making an attractive window the re- tailer interests the public. As to Imitation Flowers. Why should we sit calmly by and watch the increased use of imitation flowers? Where do we gain anything? Ask yourself this question. How long would the average woman wear a dress that is out of style? She would not wear it. It is the same with any style. It is the retailer, who is constantly in touch with the public, twho should change the order of things. Make the people realize, through advertisements and windows, that fresh flowers are the correct thing to wear. Put a stop to this everlasting artificiality. I have gone into a good many stores and no- ticed metal wreaths and bouquets for cemetery use. From my viewpoint, I cannot see where the florist is helping his business in handling this line of goods. It would be so much better to educate the people to the use of box- wood, Scotch heather, preserved oak, and other foliage that has come into use generally within the last few years. There are still a great many faults that protrude here and there which should be changed. I have skimmed lightly over a few of the more impor- tant faults, that I may impress to a slight degree the necessity of changing the customs of our business to present- day requirements. The best and surest way of obtaining the desired results is in your club and association meetings. It always rests with a few members to g)iould I give them to make them grow bushy and flower better? F. S. Do not be impatient with your pan- sies. If they are in well enriched ground, all they will need will be an ample water supply. If the soil is poor, a soaking of cow or sheep manure water will benefit them. -C. W. 90 TTie FIcMists' Review Max 15. 1018. GREENHOUSE mt STANDARDIZATION By PHILIP J. McKEE, of the John C. Monineer Co., Chicago. STANDABD TYPES OF HQWiS- Are They Practicable? The standardization of greenhouse materials is a subject that has undoubt- edly been donsidered by every manu- facturer of greenhouse materials and prqbably by not a few greenhouse own- ers. It is not a new subject, but one that is of great importance both to the makers and the users of greenhouses. Until lately there has been no direct cooperation among the manufacturers of materials or among the greenhouse owners. Is it possible to standardize green- houses f I believe it is and that the result of such standardization would be of great benefit both to the manufac- turer and to the purchaser. This is not the result of snap judgment. Much thought and study given to this sub- ject during several years of actual ex- perience in the greenhouse business leads me to believe that standardiza- tion can be accomplished by the coop- eration of the manufacturers of tlus class of material with the purchasers of greenhouses. With a full realiza- tion of all the facts, I say again that it is my honest opinion that standard types of greenhouses can be adopted, manufactured, sold and used. Neither one manufacturer alone nor one set of growers can bring this condition about, but it will be necessary for at least a majority of the manufacturers to get together and standardize their methods of production, and greenhouse owners must then buy the standard type. Is There Any Valid Objection? Is there any good reason why the maker of greenhouses and the buyer or user of greenhouses should not co- operate? Is there any good reason why the standardization of materials would not be satisfactory both to the manu- facturer and to the usert I believe not. The making or using of standard types of greenhouses will not in any way affect the quality or quantity of stock produced. As evidence of this, there ;jare in this country today a large num- ber of greenhouses, being used by the most successful growers, that are of types and sizes that would be adopted under the standardization plan. [Fig. I shows a type of 27-foot ridge and lur- rpw house that may be called almost a standard construction in the middle west.] These houses are giving just as good service in every way as other types that are not desirable from a standard- ization standpoint.

WX SHAIX BK aULD TO HKAR FROM TOU in use greenhouses of every width pos- sible to figure in feet and inches, from eight feet to, I might say, 170 feet. The variation is not always in feet, but many times in inches and fractions of an inch. Can any one say that a dif- ference of two, three or four inches or even a foot in a house would affect the production of that house t Would you believe such a statement if it were made? Do vou think it could be backed by any good reason or by evidence of any kind? What It Would Mean. The adoption of certain standard types of greenhouses would make it pos- sible for the greenhouseman to buy a house for considerably less money than he is able to buy it for today. Why? Because the houses could be made in stock, in sections — ^probably not a year's supply in advance, but the idle periods of the year could be normal working periods and the factory at these times would go humming along as though it were the busy spring months. Making houses in stock would not only save much for the manufac- turers in a manufacturing way, but would help a great deal to reduce the enormous stock of lumber, steel, cast- ings, pipe, etc., that it is now necessary to carry in every large, modern green- house plant. Carrying a large stock means vast sums of money idle, and the interest on it must come out of the pocket of the man who buys the green- house. Without such a stock the man- ufacturer cannot hope to get out even a small order, for this may call for just the things that happen not to be in stock. It must all be on hand, ready for every order, or business will be lost. Economy in Numerous Details. There would be a still further saving in the making of special plans, with specifications, details, lengthy estimates, much useless correspondence, etc. In fact, there would be a hundred little things on which there would be a sav- ing. Even if the manufacturer should take a little of this saving to himself as extra profit, you could still get your greenhouse for considerably less money than it would otherwise cost. The florist or vegetable grower would not only save money on the cost of the material for the house or range, but it would not be necessary to figure and plan, and write, and examine estimates, and sit up nights thinking about which would be the best width of house, size of bars, pitch of roof, and a hundred lf^:«e*--: .V~^«%r'-^ ■^•^- •w^v.-^;^^ Fi^.

He would save further on re- pairs, for parts would all be stock items apd easily procured on short notice at any time. What an advantage this would be in case of damage by fire or storm I How easy td add houses or ex- tend their length 1 Uniformity Without Monotony. This is not all that it would mean. Aside from the mere question of mak- ing or saving money on the materials, ease of erection, the natural simplicity of construction that would surely be brought about, and the quick and easy repairing, what a pleasure it would be to go about tne country and miss see- ing some of those horrid examples of greenhouse building! What a pleasure it would be to find every greenhouse or range neat and trim, spick and span, up-to-date and modern! How many failures it would help to prevent and how many successes it would really help to make! Don't form an idea in your mind that I would like to establish a standard for just one size and kind of greenhouse. No, no; don't get that impression, for it would be impossible, and if it were possible it would not be practical. It would end competition if all houses were to be the same, and the whole green- house business would become stagnant, just like the water in the old pond in summer. There must be several stand- ard types of construction and several standard widths. [Fig. II shows 34-foot houses that are so frequently called for as to approach a standard width.] The individuality of each manufacturer's product must not be changed, but be- come a part of the standardization plan — must conform in a general way only to the scheme of standard sizes. How to Begin. You are probably not aware of the fact that almost all of the greenhouses built vary in the pitch of the roof. Why should there be any variation for houses built in the same town, in the same de- gree of latitude and longitude, special conditions excepted? If there must be variation to conform with the angle of the sun's rays during the winter, why not establish a standard for this variation for different portions of the country? Would not this be the sim- pler and better method! Is it neces- sary to have seven or seventeen differ- ent degrees of pitch for greenhouse roofs in one certain, designated local- ity! It is not a necessity; it is a mis- take. The width of the house has some- thing to do with the pitch of the roof. Fig. II. Type of 3Moot Houses that are Ahnost of Standard Width. A wide house, say forty feet, is not as steep in the roof aa a narrower house would be, say tweri^ feet wide. [Fig. III.] The wide house would get too high if the same degree were taken as is used for the narrow house and it would present too large a surface to the wind and snow; it would mean stronger bracing and more expensive construction in many ways. Another point is, that with a house forty feet wide and over, the expanse of roof contains more glass in one body com- pared to the ground covered and the number of eaves, and therefore will drain a greater amount of water and melt a greater amount of snow in a given time than the amount of glass on narrow houses. The steep pitch is not required for wide houses. Regulating the Boof Fitch. Whatever be the reason or the neces- sity for pitch of roof on account of width of the house, why not establish a limit for width for one pitch and a limit for width of house for another pitch? Why have several degrees of pitch for the same width of house? One pitch is not desirable for all widths of houses, in my opinion, but if a pitch is desirable for a certain width it should be made the standard for that width. I do not believe it is neces- sary to establish different degrees of pitch to suit different localities, for the variation throughout that portion of the country which has need for greenhouses to any great extent is small, and does it really make a dif- ference when you go south of Mason and Dixon's line? For houses up to and including twenty-one feet in width, center to center of posts, a pitch of 32 degrees seems best. Whether or not this should be adopted as a standard for all types of houses, is a matter for discussion. The 32 degree pitch is one that was established a number of years ago and is practically equal to a rise of seven inches on the roof to every foot of width in the greenhouse. Probably custom or habit has had a great deal to do with the keeping of this pitch for comparatively narrow houses. There seems to be no really good argument in favor of changing the pitch for •kouses twenty-one feet wide and nar- rower and, likewise, no especially good reason for retaining it. The advantage, however, seems to be in favor of the 32 degree pitch, when construction, re- flection of light, strength, wind pres- sure, snow pressure, ice conditions, condensation and everything else are considered, and I am of the opinion it should be adopted as the standard. Fig. in, Illustrating How the Pitch of the Roof Varies with the Vidth of the House. 22 The Florists' Review May 15, 1913. Increasing Width, Decreasing Pitch. As stated, though, this is a matter for discussion and if it can be shown that some other pitch offers greater advantage, I am heartily in favor of adopting such pitch as the standard. There can te no great difference and surely some one degree should be adopted as regular. After the 21-foot house the next width used to any great extent is twenty-five feet, center to center of posts, and here the roof pitch changes from 32 to 30 degrees. As the houses become wider the pitch decreases, partly on account of the appearance of the houses and partly from a con- struction standpoint. As the span be- coknes larger the need for a steep pitch is less, for various reasons. The volume of air is suflBcient without steep pitch, the wind and snow pres- sure is lessened and there is a saving in materials. ' In houses twenty-one feet wide and less, the 32 degree roof pr^sents a fairly steep slope to the wind, but, on account of the smallnesS of the house and its rigidity, this is of no serious consequence. The steep pitch causes snow and ice to disappear more quickly, gives a greater volume of air inside the house, and to some extent is a help in the ventilation and in the control of temperature; it also fives more head room, tends to stif- en the sashbars, etc. The 30 degree pitch can be used for houses up to thirty-one feet wide. Of course, you understand this matter of pitch has only to do with houses that are even-span. Any unevenness of the span of the roof will make a change in the pitch. One notable exception is the so-called 27-foot house, using 16- foot bars on the north and 14-foot bars on the south. With this type of house, which, by the way, is one that is largely used, the pitch on the north is 26 de- grees and on the south it is 30 de- grees. Advantages of Lower Pitch. For a long time the argument was advanced that the 32 degree pitch ad- mitted the rays of the sun in a more direct manner during the greater part of the winter than a lower pitch, and that for this reason it was better. A series of experiments conducted by the Department of Agriculture proved this to be nearly correct, but when the nu- merous other advantages in favor of the 28 and 30 degree pitch were weighed against this fact, the differ- ence was by all odds in favor of a lower pitch. On the wider houses the lower pitch saves material, gives ad- ditional growing space and relieves the roof of a great part of the wind and snow pressure; the house also makes a better appearance and is easier ^o erect and keep in repair. [Fig, IV shows four roof pitches.] For houses thirty-four feet wide and up to forty feet, a pitch of 28 degrees gives best results and should be made standard. For houses over forty feet in width and up to seventy-two feet, the use of the 26 degree pitch, which is about six inches of rise on the roof per foot of width of house, seems correct. In my opinion, houses up to seventy-two feet should have the 26 degree pitch. Widths greater than this could hardly be made standard at this time, on account of the wide difference in the type of construction materials used by the va- rious manufacturers and the variance Fig. IV. Showing Four Degrees of Pitch. of greenhouse engineering practice with respect to these, I might say, extreme and special widths of houses. Standard Widths for Houses. The question of the pitch of the roof is not as important as that of the width of the house. It will be com- paratively easy to settle on the stand- ard pitch of roof for various sizes of houses, but there is sure to be con- siderable argument when it comes to deciding on standard widths. There are several reasons for this. The many different types of greenhouses manu- factured by various firms, and the working of materials for these various types, all have much to do with de- ciding on the width of a greenhouse. The location of the ground on which the greenhouse is to be built, and the size of the site will also have some- thing to do with the width of the house. The class of stock to be grown, which makes various widths of benches necessary, will directly affect the width of the house in an effort to get an economical bench arrangement. It is admitted there must be excep- tions to any standard one may set up, whether this standard applies to green- house work or to any other line of industry. After going into this mat- ter carefully, after several years of experience in the manufacture of green- houses, and after visiting and inspect- ing a large number of houses and ranges of houses, I am firmly con- vinced that it is possible to adopt standard widths and make a success of the plan. A FIELD OF PUKITY FREESLA.S. The accompanying illustrations give a partial view of the field of Purity freesias grown by Mrs. Jas. H. Bays in Ventura county, California. The stock from which the field was planted was obtained from Eudolph Fischer, the in- troducer of the Purity freesia, when he first offered his stock to the trade. The locality in which these freesias are growing was not affected by the recent freeze, which was so disastrous to many sections of California. Oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits, and even the tender poinsettias, were not frosted on the ranch where these freesias are growing. On account of the careful cultivation and the plentiful supply of water, together with the uniformity of the rows of selected seed stock, the field for some weeks presented an ap- pearance ©f striking beauty, affording pleasure to all observers. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. Meeting of Executive Committee. The elegance and brilliancy of the International Flower Show has left a mark behind it, having awakened a pop- ular feeling 6f appreciation. Said one man from Westchester county, "I never saw anything like this, but if you dropped the roses out it would look like a pond with a hole in the bottom," an expression which, if not elegant, was certainly suggestive. The roses displayed were without doubt the most perfect specimens of green- house culture, and the plant section in pots and tubs was unrivaled. The num- ber of entries and the quantity en masse have never been equaled in the history of the American Rose Society, and this display came from members of this society. The prizes awarded went to thirty-five persons. The total value of prizes exceeded $2,700. The executive committee will meet in New York on Friday, May 16, at Vice-President Traendly's office. The Rose Society might become a powerful organization for pushing rose culture . ■.•'■*- yUl^^i-;'- ^^«i>^'Mf*^'4' ■'■■ - ■■•■' % Ik ^M m ^^Mtt^^^^^^^^^l m m^ ^^^55* 1 Tb^i ' (l^^^l ' "■" ». * "vrjBswfwit,^^^^^ ^"^!5 0^ /^l ^!^S^^ En^^t^^^MF 1 ^^^R/|?>4^^^^^^Vfll^DEM^^^^^| EHk^K^hI^SS^^Si^^ bSB ■ HHi^^B^Vir!!!3HBfK^^%iHiJFTl^HBlN»''V:- propagating house along the north side.

Contains seventy- eight Illustrations, including forty-eight full- £age plates, showing the species life size and 1 the natural colors. Price, 138.36, postpaid.] It may be well to admit in the begin- ning that this book, "The Genus Iris," may be classed among the luxuries of life. Any single volume with such a price-mark attached to it, however large and sumptuous the volume might be, would probably be regarded as a luxury by a formidable majority of The Review's readers, and it would be foolhardy and useless for the reviewer to offer a contrary opinion. Yet every fairly prosperous individual indulges in some luxuries. Indeed, it is generally agreed to be true, though it sounds paradoxical, that a few luxuries are ne- cessities, if one's character is to have its proper, well-rounded development. And, if this book must be listed among the luxuries, it may well be considered one of the most desirable in the list. Anyone who is especially fond of the iris, and who wishes to find a publica- tion that will do full justice to the exquisite beauty of the flower, could scarcely do better than secure this vol- ume. Moreover, if there is anyone, in the florists' trade or out of it, who is proud of the completeness of his botanical library, let him subdue his pride, bow his head meekly and "walk humbly ' ' until he has added this volume to his collection. The book, if it is a luxury, is a lux- ury of the genuine sort, embodying real, substantial value. It is not be- decked in cheap finery, like many other books, so as to attract the unwary and unsophisticated purchaser, but is evi- dently the result of the best efforts of the most expert craftsmen to manufac- ture, from the best of materials, as nearly as possible a perfect piece of work. Only a few publishing houses could produce such a work if they tried and few would have courage enough to try. The forty-eight full-page colored plates are really remarkable for their accuracy and delicate beauty. The word "iris," you will remember, is the haustive history of the club's experi- ences in this line for over twenty years. The committee, with Mr. Totty as chair- man, was continued, with instructions to report at the June meeting. A standing vote showed that the club ia practically unanimous for holding a show in 1914. Chairman Nugent, of the dinner com- mittee, announced no deficit, and the committee was discharged with the thanks of the club. Messrs. Adolph Goldenberg, A. E. Jackson, F. H. Poblos, Vincent Straki- taus and A. N. Schneider were proposed for membership. The members elected were: W. A. Maltus, Herman Branch and Vivian L. Outerb ridge, of New York city; Joseph Levy, Ernest Ulrich and Charles Huber, of Brooklyn; Harry F. Marquardt, Woodhaven, Jj. I.; Frank Grumbach, Jamaica, L. I.; A. M. Kirschner, As- toria, L. I.; Louis Enne, Flushing, L. I.; George Ehrle, Carlstadt, N. J.; John E. Sefton, Elizabeth, N. J., and John Watts, Greenwich, Conn. James White, of Elizabeth, N. J,, addressed the meeting and Mr. Vincent gave an interesting talk on afi&liation and consistent and persistent effort. A. C. Zvolanek's resignation was ac- cepted with regret. The death of the father of A. L. Don was announced and Messrs. Bunyard, Weathered and Sheridan were appointed to draft resolutions of sympathy with the bereaved. The usual spread was provided by the house committee. Various Notes. At the New York Botanical Garden May 10 and 11 the influence of the Na- tional Flower Show was strongly in evi- dence in increased interest and attend- ance at the regular monthly exhibition. The principal prize winners were F. E. Pierson Co., Mts. F. A. Constable, Mrs. A. M. Beoth, T. A. Havemeyer and Louis C. Tiffany. The exhibits were tulips, calceolarias, pelargoniums, wild flowers, shrubs and flowering trees. C. H. Totty, chairman of the National * Flower Show committee, gave a dinner to his lieutenants at the Martinique hotel. May 9. It was "some dinner," if all reports concerning it are cor- rect. There were present Wm. Duck- ham, Harry Bunyard, Frank Traendly, Walter F. Sheridan and the host. The Greek- American Florists' Asso- ciation will have its annual outing July 9, at Wetzel's Grove. The New York Florists' Club will celebrate July 1, at the same place, going by boat as usual. Philip Kessler is chairman of the outing committee and reports the usual liberal provisions for prizes.

Under separate cover I am sending Ij^lQ Beview a print showing the space so ^ar taken for the outdoor exhibit at the S. A. F. convention at Minneapolis, August 19 to 22. This print differs from the previous ones sent, inasmuch as it shows the ground plan of the con- vention halls and the outdoor exhibition space in front of the two buildings. This is the last time I will trouble you to publish a sketch of the garden, as planting time is now at hand and unless we get the exhibits between now and, say, June 10 it will be too late to plant for effect during convention week. I hope you will kindly grant my request and make use of this print. Theodore Wirth, Chairman. OBITUAEY. Alexander L. Don. Alexander L. Don, the New Yofjt seed merchant, died May 8 at his Mime at Eidgewood, N. J., as the result of a somewhat prolonged illness with a com- plication of diseases. Mr. Don was 58 years of age, a native of Brechin, Scotland. His training was in some of the representative Scottish seed houses and on coming to New York at the age of 21 years he became the agent for European seed firms. Over thirty years ago the firm of Weeber & Don was established and long since be- came one of the institutions of Cham- bers street, Mr. Weeber retired some years ago, but for the last fifteen years Mr. Don has had associated with him two sons, who will continue the busi- ness. Mr. Don has for many years been looked upon as one of the leading seeds- men of the country and was universally respected. The funeral services were held May 10 at Christ church, Ridgewood, and were largely attended, there being many flowers. Mrs. Don survives, with her two sons and three daughters. E. O. Moore. Elbridge G. Moore, aged 78 years, died May 1 at his home in Milford, Mass. He suffered a sunstroke in July, 1910, and never recovered from the ef- fects. He had been a resident of Mil- ford nearly fifty years, and had been a successful florist for thirty years, being the city's first grower. He was born in Eaymond, N. H., the son of John and Abigail Moore. Before go- ing to Milford he was in the lumber business with his father and brother in New Hampshire. He married Lucy A. Miller, who, with his brother Wil- liam, survives him. The I. O. O. F. and G. A. R. conducted the funeral, May 4. New Haven, Conn. — ^Ludwig Wolff has sold out his business at 158 Meadow street.

The man who is prompt pay may well be critical of the stock he buys; the one who is slow pay seldom is. The reports on Mothers' day indicate that through the country colored flowers were as easily sold as white. It will be good news to the growers that a new nicotine insecticide is soon to be put on the market, called Nicotiana. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. No rose has enjoyed a better sale this season than has Mrs, Ward. It is one of the few varieties that realizes regu- larly a good price for the short stems, the reason being that the buds are favor- ites for corsage work, Michigan has two Mothers' days this year, the real one May 11, with the rest of the United States, and a sort of step- mothers' day May 18, It all came about through the governor of the state getting his dates mixed in his Mothers' day proclamation; he designated the third in- stead of the second Sunday in May and thereby caused much confusion, although nearly everybody recognized the nature of the mistake and observed the correct date. If ever florists had reason to be pleased with the results of an attempt at publicity, they have reason to be satisfied Avith the business coming from their exploitation of Mothers' day. It was far ahead of 1912, The more florists advertise it, the more people come to know the meaning of the day, and the more general becomes the observance. Nothing but a disposition to rest on one 's oars can prevent the day being one of the most important cut flower days on the calendar for 1914. PEIMULA POISONING, I noted in a recent issue of your valuable paper a reference to poison- ing from Primula obconica, and the remedies suggested for it. Permit me to make an offering along that line, I have tried all the remedies generally suggested, but as a sure cure I can safely recommend hydrogen peroxide, which may be applied effectively either in the early or later symptoms of the poisoning, I am particularly sensitive to this trouble, but as soon as I notice the ir- ritation of the skin that follows con- tact with the plant, I use this remedy, and not more than two applications are needed to bring relief, I should think, judging from the well known antiseptic qualities of this medicine, that it would be especially adapted to cases that are mjore advanced. W. Macaulay. CLASSIFIED ADS CLEAN UP. The Review published in last week's issue a few less than 1,000 classified ads. There are about the same num- ber in this issue. Every. week the ad^ are changing, but where changes are made they are necessitated, almost in- variably, by the complete exhaustion of the advertised stock, and the ad vertisers, where they have anything else to sell, promptly substitute other ads. Readers of The Review have not read all of the news of the paper un- til they ^»ave read the Classified, and it is quite evident, by the results that are being procured for advertisers every day, that the 11,000 readers of The Review regularly consult the Clas- sified. The growers who are wise know this. Hence the great volume of ads in, this department. Each mail brings letters from satisfied advertisers, who praise The Review as a result-getter. Here are a few among the many re- ceived in the last week: Muncle was flooded Marcli 25, and I was flooded April 80 witli a tremendous torrent of orders for my tomato planum, until that rushing stream, which lasted for three con- secutive days, swept away every plant I had in my greenhouses; and they numbered into the tens of thousands. Telegraph or- ders came more than once from points a thousand miles away and more. And all of it came through The Review. You have no competitor. Every day's mall is piling up on my desic orders for more plants, but I am unable to supply them and have to send the money baclt and disappoint my patrons. The Review is to blame. There- fore please change my present classified to the one enclosed. — H, J. Potomkln, Muncie, Ind., May 2, 1018. Discontinue our ad for salvias. We sold in one day 10,000, which were all we bad. Enclosed find twenty cents in stamps for the ad. — Stuhldreher Bros., Mansfield, O., May 6, 1913. Enclosed find stamps to cover my classi- fied bill. Accept my thanks. The "little wonder" ads do the work. One insertion is all I should have used, as I am compelled to return money, being unable to fill all orders. — F, W. Goe, West Liberty, 0„ April SO, 1913. Enclosed find check for ad service rendered, and please discontinue the ad, as we are com- pletely sold out. We have disposed of nearly 100,000 carnation plants this spring, and we have today refused quite a number of orders. The plants were fine, but we think much of the success in moving so many of them was due to your valuable paper. — The Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa., May 6, 1913. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Mothers' day business on this market was ahead of expectations and without a doubt the best since the event as- sumed its place as one of the important flower days of the year. With one accord the Chicago wholesalers report a large increase in the demand; in fact, the demand exceeded the anticipa- tions of the most optimistic. With only a fair supply, it was found diflScult to furnish as much stock as was called for. A change to unseasonably cold weather, following unseasonable heat, cut down production, but it did a great deal to- ward putting quality into the stock. There is this week considerable com- plaint as to the quality of the carna- tions shipped, but it is as nothing com- pared to what it would have been had the weather stayed hot. The principal demand was for carnations, especially white, and the local buyers readily paid prices higher than those at which the advance orders had been booked. Nev- ertheless, the tales of high prices paid for small lots of selected stock, or under the pressure of necessity, must not be accepted as the market price. Excel- lent prices prevailed, but it simply was 'ip.VITTW^^^T ' 'Ta^V v;^"" TlWfT' .i~rv."^^\^-' ■ Max 15, 1913. The Florists^ Review 3X WE SHALL HAVE A LARGE SUPPLY FOR Memorial Day QUALITY THAT EVERYONE ADMITS IS SECOND TO NONE. IE urge the early placin^r of Memorial Day Orders. It is so well known that Amlins: flowers are unexcelled in quality and that Amling service is unapproached for prompt- ness, care and accuracy that a constantly increasing number of buyers look to us for their holiday supplies. Memorial day is one of our biggest days. At this season of the year what you receive is more important than what you pay. Amling prices always are right, but it is what you get rather than what you pay that is the measure of value. Order of Amling and there will be no regrets. We do not look for an extra large crop of roses for Memorial day, though we shall have a fair supply. Unless the weather turns unseasonably hot the quality will be especially good this year, for there never were finer roses than those we now offer. We have a full line. CARNATIONS Those who had Amling carnations for Mothers' day will not fail to have Amling carnatigns lor Memorial day. A good many buyers who divided up their orders for Mothers' day will put the whole order in our hands for May 30. There are few sources of supply for the Amling grade of carnations.

Good peonies are about as profitable as anything a retail florist can handle for Memorial day, while poor peonies often are a dead loss, not to mention the disappointment. We do not handle miscellaneous consignments of peonies. Our supply comes from a few sources that have proved dependable and which have been steadily enlarged. You can bank on the quality of the peonies you get from Amling. We believe we shall be able to fill every order for Memorial day.

The rush started May 8, when the first shipping orders went out, and by May 9 the wholesalers were fairly swamped with the business that came in by wire and with each delivery of mail. Growers found it impossible to supply the nec- essary stock and prices began to stiffen. White carnations, being in greatest de- mand, felt the advance first, but white roses soon found an active market and it was not long before the prices re- ceived a tilt. White roses were fairly abundant, but there were not enough to satisfy the demand and buyers were forced to take anything else on hand. Saturday found the city buyers willing to pay the top prices in order to secure stock, and even on Sunday morning the market was hardly back to normal. All told. Mothers' day was a huge success. While the first call was for white car- nations and, secondly, for white roses, when the white was not available the buyers took other flSwers. In the end the market had the best clean-up it has known in months, a consummation credit for which the trade gives to the exploitation Mothers' day has been given in The Eeview. This week opened with only light supplies and a fairly brisk market. The weather, one day cool and one day warm, is favorable, holding production in check and maintaining quality. It is possible to procure anything one wants, but there is no surplus. Sweet peas are a little lower, due to an in- creased number of growers who are picking Butterflies, as the Spencer va- rieties are known locally. Spanish iris is less plentiful and outdoor tulips have practically displaced the greenhouse stock. Peonies are plentiful. Last week the good stock sold well, though there were numerous shipments that hardly deserved a sale at any price. This week the surplus of good peonies is going into storage for Memorial day, while the low-grade stuff is being sold for what it will bring. Cattleyas are more plen- tiful and cheaper. Lilac is about over, locally. A few small-flowered gladioli are seen. Ferns are advancing in price. Smilax is scarce. Several Wholesalers Qet More Space. Zech & Mann announce a change of location to be made within the next two weeks, when that firm will move into more spacious quarters.

The room now occupied by Zech & Mann will be taken by D. E. Freres. The latter is now on the same floor as Zech & Mann, sharing quarters with O. A. Tonner. It is understood that the Chicago Carnation Co., now in a room which adjoins the Freres-Tonner store, will throw the two rooms into one, thereby doubling its space. Whether O. A. Tonner will remain in the present quarters or go with Mr. Freres has not yet been decided, but the shift will give better facilities to all parties concerned. Various Notes. A. L. Bandall reached home May 11 from his European trip, on which he visited all the principal sources from which florists' supplies are obtained. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., predicts that this will be the season when the peony will come in especially well for Memorial day. He predicts only moderate supplies of roses and car- nations, but a plentiful supply of peonies. At Winterson's Seed Store it is said that the approach of the close of the planting season can be seen in the falling off in counter trade. O. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- house Co., says the local lilacs are over, but that it will not be many days before some of the early peonies are ready to cut at Batavia. C. W, McKellar reports that the Mothers' day demand exceeded his ex- pectations. John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co., says that in their general satisfac- tion with the demand for Mothers' day the wholesalers forget that a short 84 The Florists* Review Mat 15, 1018.

Wietor says that the buyers pick up Sunburst rose whenever they see it on the counter. O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., says he thinks there will be little diffi- culty in making clean sales on all stock cut between now and Memorial day. Tim Matchen, sales manager for Peter Eeinberg, says Mothers' day far ex- ceeded his expectations and that white roses sold almost as well as white car- nations. The official report of the Florists' Club 's meeting will be found in another column of this issue. T. E. Waters, chairman of the committee, states that the annual picnic will be held Au- gust 17. Harry Manheim, with Hoerber Bros., says the education of the public regard- ing colored flowers for Mothers' day is not yet complete and points to the full- page story in the Sunday feature section of the Tribune as an example. The writer evidently had failed to read the advertisements in her own paper and made the white carnation the exclusive flower of the day. "If Mothers' day continues its prog- ress as a flower day it will soon be nec- essary to find some way to meet the demand," is the way Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, expresses himself. * ' Of course, the crops were not all on, but there is no question that there was a far larger demand than a year ago and fully double that of two seasons back. ' ' According to John F. Kidwell, of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, the temperature went below 28 degrees on the evening of May 10, but so far no damage was done to peonies or other field stock, although some fruit trees were slightly nipped around the Well- worth Farm district. W. J. Smyth reports an excellent April and a good start for May, with a fine run of funeral work. He now gets around without the use of a cane and his leg is almost as good as before his winter accident. C. L. Washburn has some doubts as to Whether the carnation crops will be on in time for Memorial day.

The Chicago Florists' Club held its regular meeting Thursday, May 8, at the Union restaurant. President French in the chair. A «number of appeals from flood and storm sufferers were read, but no definite list of their requirements ac- companied same. Arrangements were made to take care of them when the necessary information is received. The club also has taken up with the express companies the question of transporting such stock free of charge as may be given for the victims. Everyone is in- terested in this work and spoke highly of the practical way the club is handling this proposition. The special committee appointed to represent the club in matters of pub- licity at the New York show gave an interesting report on the benefit derived by retailers and through them, of course, the wholesalers and growers, from the great amount of advertising exhibitors get at the flower shows, which seems to be one of the most effective ways of advertising. The transportation committee re- ported that arrangements for a special train have been made with the Great Western E. E. Co., the best Pullman equipment to leave August 18. A num- ber of letters were received from vari- ous clubs, stating that they will be pleased to join the Chicago Florists' Club special train at Chicago. An in- teresting itinerary will soon be sent out. The good of the club committee has taken an active part in publicity. Chair- man Waters promised some interesting items on publicity at our next meeting. V. Niemitz, expert on horticulture of Eussia, who has been traveling in our western states the last six months, was present. The following applications for mem- bership were received: W. H.

J. W. CARLISLE, Mention The Review when yon write. Alvin, Texas BOSTON. The Market. Mothers' day helped the sale of car- nations materially, white ones going especially well. If the local retailers would only push this a little more, it could be made quite a floral occasion. Eoses, outside of a few varieties, are of rather slow sale and values have declined. Bulgaries are still popular; BO are Beauties and Wards, but Killar- neys are in excess of all demands. Car- nations have been doing well and val- ues have been satisfactory to the grow- ers. It is some years since prices through April and the early part of Hay have been so good. Benora, Pink ^Delight and Gloriosa are favorites, but irhites have been in strong demand of late. Dutch bulbous stock is running out rapidly and, outside of Narcissus poet- icus and late tulips, is practically over. Spanish iris is abundant and has been selling well, better than Gladiolus Blushing Bride, which is hard to move now. Good snapdragons, white and yellow marguerites and bachelor's but- tons are going well. Valley continues druggy. Sweet peas have been on the toboggan and prices on these have been low. On some days no reasonable offer has been refused to make clearances. Cattleyas are moving fairly well and so are gardenias. The summer crop of these is starting to come in and prices will naturally take a tumble. For green goods the demand has been fair. Bed- ding plant trade is becoming active. Hydrangeas sell best among flowering plants. Retail Florists' Club. The Boston Eetail Florists' Club held a meeting at the City Club, May 5, with a good attendance.

The members of the Horticultural Club enjoyed a trip over thot Boston park system May 7, on invitation of Superintendent James B. Shea.

The Rising Eastern Market. The behavior of the weather has been outrageous. Just on the day when all the gardeners agree that it is perfectly safe to take tender plants from the greenhouses and frames and plant them outside, just on that day, I say, it froze! There was ice in Darby; there was ice in Lansdowne; there was ice at Chestnut Hill; there was ice in Moores- town. The tender shoots hung over; the edges of the leaves were blackened; there will be a crop of yellow leaves that will go to the heart of the man who takes pride in his profession. The extraordinary spell of cold weather came from the west. It was preceded by unusually hot weather and is now leaving. All this has made the diffi- culties unusual in the cut flower mar- ket. Carnations were not nearly so plentiful during the week ending May 14 as they seemed likely to be. The hot weather hurt them and thrips did harm in many of the houses. Then the cold weather checked production. BERGER BR08. WHITE, PINK and RED ROSES SWEET PEAS GOOD STOCK PROMPT SERVICE 140-142 N. 13th St - • Philadelphia, Pa. Mention The Review when yon write. Many of the growers had no fire heat. Prices for Mothers' day advanced to $10 per hundred for select white (they had to be extremely fine to bring that price), while fancy colored brought from $4 to $5 per hundred. There were not nearly enough, particularly of the white, to go around. Eoses were so plentiful that, though many were sold at satis- factory prices, there was an oversupply. Mothers' day was the event of the week. It was more generally observed than ever before. The retailers awoke to the necessities of the case and urged the use of colored carnations with the white, and of other flowers, too. Eoses were often used when carnations could not be obtained. One house bought and distributed nearly 50,000 flowers one by one. Of these 35,000 are believed to have been carnations. The rest were roses. Eeally fine sweet peas have been short of the demand all through the week. Callas are fast disappearing. Easter lilies are scarce. Snapdragon is overplentiful.

A miniature cyclone struck one of Stephen Hyde's greenhouses during the rain storm May 5, tore it up and carried it away. The demolished greenhouse was 30 X 300 feet in size and the loss totals some $3,000 or $4,000, counting the cost of repairing the other green- houses to which this one was attached. The other greenhouses were not touched by the wind directly, showing to what narrow lines the force of the wind was restricted. There were four houses, all of the same size, ridge and furrow style, with no partition walls between them. When the wind tore the one section away from between the others, the latter were naturally much wrenched, because they had all been joined together. The whirlwind came from the south and seemed to move directly north in traversing the length of the narrow glass building which it destroyed, but as it passed on it veered slightly to the northeast and rose as it moved on, doing no damage after leaving the Hyde grounds. It scattered glass for a thousand feet in its course north of the greenhouse, some of the panes of glass alighting unbroken that far from where they had been torn away. The demolished house was used for lettuce beds, Mr. Hyde having done a big business in shipping lettuce. No one was in the destroyed building at the time the wind struck it, but several workmen were busy in the adjoining Mat 15, 1913.

The Southwestern Market. The market was in a much over- crowded condition in the early part ot the week and all seasonable stock was abundant, with the prices somewhat lower than in the week previous. In the latter part of the week the whole- salers put the price up several notches, especially on carnations, when the trade began to lay in a supply for Mothers' 'lay business. The price of carnations •luring the first three days of the week was as low as $7.50 per thousand, but afterwardthere was a jump to .$5 per hundred. ^"KDses also went up a few cents. These are plentiful, especially Did you get a package of Wedding Ribbons from the Pine Tree Silk Mills?

The supply was large and of extra good qualitj'. Sweet peas had a large call during the week and the big supply that comes in daily from Kirkwood was cleaned up pretty well each day at low prices. Peonies are in, and the first of them were cleaned up at once at $5 per hun- dred. American gladioli are fine, though there are not many in as yet. These sell quickly at good prices. The price of miniature gladioli fell somewhat, owing to the increased supply. Iris, lilac, snowballs and valley are among the out- door flowers arriving.

Club Meeting. The May meeting of the St. Louis Florists' Club was held Thursday after- noon, May 8, in Odd Fellows' hall, but was poorly attended, owing to the fact that this is the busy planting month for most of our regular attendants. When President Weber opened the meeting there were fifteen present. Chairman Ossick, of the trustees, re- ported on the annual outing of the club for July, and all the arrangements as to place and date of the outing were left in the hands of the club's trustees. A letter from President Farquhar, of the S. A. F., was read, in which he stated that he had appointed Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., as state vice-president for eastern Missouri. Mr. Denker was present at the meeting. Dr. Geo. T. Moore, director of the Missouri , Botanic Garden, sent the club an invi- tation to hold its June meeting at the garden. The invitation was accepted with thanks. Letters were also read from the Cook County Florists' Associa- tion and the Chicago Florists' Club, inviting the members to travel on their special to Minneapolis for the August meeting of the 8. A. F. These invita- tions were ordered turned over to State Vice-President Edwin Denker, who has the transportation in charge. Applications for membership were re- ceived from Hugo M. SchaflP, head gar- dener for the board of education, and James F. Fox, of the Fox Clay Pottery Co. Four delinquent members were dropped from the rolls of membership. The question box brought out some good discussions. The qtiery that brought out the best argument was, "Does the Selling of Plants and Flow- ers by Department Stores Hurt the Florists?" In this debate C. E. De Wever took a leading part. The next meeting of the club will take place on Thursday afternoon, June 12, at the Missouri Botanic Garden, when a special effort will be made by the officers of the club to bring out the largest attendance of the year.

Mothers' day trade practically cleaned up the local market. At a re- cent special meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club, a sufficient sum was vol- untarily subscribed to advertise Moth- ers' day, and the publicity committee used space in all of the local daily papers, as well as the leading weekly. Business, as far as Mothers' day Vvas concerned, amounted to little un- til late Saturday afternoon, the bulk of the orders coming in Saturday eve- ning. The orders were chiefly for cut flowers and not many ran over $2 per order. Carnations were mostly in de- mand, and the call for red was ex- ceedingly heavy, Monday morning found the market well cleaned up, with a marked scarcity of stock all day. Various Notes. E, A.

We have had a cool week, but the weather has been clear. There was a heavy frost May 9; in fact, it made ice. No reports have been received of any damage to vegetation. It is getting ex- tremely dry and rain is badly needed. Most of the growers have had to water carnations in the field. Stock is more plentiful than it has been for several weeks, but trade has kept up with the increase in stock and business is gen- erally good. Mothers' day was quite an event with the trade; in fact, it was a small Easter, the only unfor- tunate thing being that white carna- tions were not plentiful. The whole- salers were compelled to ask extremely high prices to keep down the demand, make the supply meet it and try to force the sale of other stock. The retailers are all busy, but, as Mothers' day customers are usually small buyers, it is doubtful whether they appreciate the day as much as the wholesalers; however, their busi- ness must show a largely increased volume. This is the only day in the year when people will pay the same price for a fine carnation as they are willing to pay for a medium grade rose. A Visit to Salem, O. "V. A.

PRIZE ESSAYS SUGGESTED. Mr. Jenkins, in his paper before the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, of Bos- ton, an extract from which was printed in The Eeview for May 8, is quite right in his assertion that a more scientific training would be of material benefit to the practical gardener and florist. We heartily agree with him, but can we all obtain a scientific training at a state horticultural college? Some of us there are who would give almost anything for such a training, even to sacrificing the whole of one's leisure to gain such an end, but circumstances only too often hold the controlling reins on our ambi- tions. We are unable to get the much coveted knowledgft-Jjrfough the horti- cultural colleges, and many of us are employed on growing establishments quite out of touch with a florists' society of any kind. Hence we are in- clined to heave a sigh of regret arid let matters slide easily along until it is too late. The gardener or superintendent of the future has certainly a keener competi- tion for the premier places than had his present brothers, so it is up to them to do something to increase their knowl- edge and become eligible for such posi- tions, irrespective of the horticultural college. At the recent National Flower Show the N. G. A. were to consider a move- ment whereby the young gardeners and florists could be assisted in increasing their knowledge, with a view to im- proving their positions in the gardening world. Whether the consideration of this matter resulted in anything mate- rial the writer does not know, but feels sure that such an important matter should not be left unconsidered. As one of the rising generation of gardeners, I would like to suggest that all young men under 30 years of age be invited to write articles on the various phases of horticulture and that such be judged by a committee of competent judges, to be appointed by the N. G. A., and the three winning articles each week be published in The Beview.

Most young men require some induce- ment to try this kind of thing, so in order to make it more attractive I would suggest that a nominal prize be given for the three best essays. I have only roughly outlined this scheme, as no doubt it could be im- proved upon if put into practice, and as a suggestion it is given for what it is worth. Henry Gibson. Dayton, O. — Warren G.

Cut spiraeas are sell- ing well and make a good combination with pink and red flowers of all kinds. Spencer sweet peas are coming into this market in larger quantities now and are bringing a big price. A few Span- ish irises are seen here and there. Snap- dragons have fallen off somewhat in the public favor. Baby gladioli are with us again. Mothers' day was larger than ever in the scope of its trade. The fact that the Peoples' Institute haa a sale of carnations and other flowers on the Saturday preceding" deemed to make business greater instead of interfering with the florists' sales. Great quan- tities of all kinds of flowers were sold, regardless of the prevailing sentiment that the white carnations alone were the proper flowers for the day. Various Notes. E. B.

The result will be known soon. Wm. Schlatter & Son report that business has been excellent during April and early May. During May there will be a special exhibit, in the art room of the city library, of the formal landscape gar- dens of England, Scotland, Italy and America. It consists of plates, many of which are taken from "Formal Gar- dens in England and Scotland" and "The Art of Garden Design in Italy," both by Harry Triggs. Several dis- tinct types of the American gardens are shown, including the sunken gar- den and the tea and water gardens. Meacham & Hassell are kept quite busy with spring business of all kinds.

Brown has sold his business at Los Angeles and has moved here. Beno, Nev. — Fred Fisher, formerly in the trade here, has formed a partner- ship with G. C. McDonald and the two have opened a store under the firm name of The Eeno Florists. Eugene, Ore. — Mrs. C. C. Brawner, who recently moved here with her hus- band from Huron, S. D., has purchased from G. R. Lawrence the business of the Rex Floral Co., and has taken pos- session. Ashland, Ore. — Miss Ethel Daven- port and Eoy Walker have purchased from Leonard Lawson his ll^^-acre fruit ranch. Mr. Lawson, seeing no opportunity to establish a florists' busi- ness in the west, has returned to Rock- ford, 111., where he was formerly in business. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. The less said about business this week the better. Outside of funeral work there is not much doing, and stock keeps coming along in too large quantities to be disposed of. Transient business is dull, for everybody here has a garden of some kind and the ceme- teries are covered with flowers evi- dently of the house garden order. Good quality stock sells better than poor, but there is too much even of that. Sweet peas are the best sellers in the smaller flowers, though the bright blue cornflower has cleaned up fairly well. The Spanish iris is about over, while the early gladioli are just coming in. Some peonies are Seen, but people here ^do not know them and the demand is not great. Outdoor carnations hardly pay the cost of gathering, owing to the large number of indoor ones on the market. Cecile Brunner roses are a plut and are left on the plants. In- door roses are still fine in quality, but there is no great demand for them. Valley is plentiful. Boston ferns are scarce in salable sizes, and even small stock is diflScult to obtain. Various Notes. M. N. Jones, of San Diego, was to have spoken on "The Truth About Spineless Cactus" at the meeting of the Los Angeles County Horticultural Society, May 6, but he failed to put in an appearance. This gave P. D. Barnhart and Dr. Houghton the op- portunity to air their supposed griev- ances against a well known "wizard," who need not be named. Being elec- tion night, the attendance was small. J. M. Grant acted as secretary in the absence of H. W. Kruckeberg. G. E. Miller, of Hollywood, is a young grower and one who has great success with the plants he handles, principally bulbous stock, roses, cannas and dahlias. His Spanish iris has been particularly good. The Killarney roses at Speakman & Dille's place are extra fine just now, and the plants are making an elegant growth. Valley is also in fine order here. They are throwing out My Maryland this year to make room for Radiance. Dieterich & Turner continue to ship large quantities of young rose stock all over the country. Preparations for the new greenhouse, 60x600 feet, are well under way. Fred Hills is covering part of his new land with a lath house foi;^A8para- gus plumosus. The fern houses are in fine order, and the cut is good. Mr. and Mrs. Hills both take considerable pleasure out of their new touring car and they richly deserve all that is coming their way. H. 8. Morton, of Long Beach, and A. Falkenhayn have gone into partnership in the nursery business and are build- ing a large lath house. Mr. Morton re- tains his retail store. Geo. Watson is sending in between 3,000 and 5,000 carnations a day and his 65,000 field plants look fine. Reeve Darling has taken the base- ment under his store and fitted it up as a workroom. Anton Soethout and W. Childs work hand in hand at the Hollywood Nurs- eries, and have excellent stock in all lines, including fine imported conifers and boxwoods. Quite a large piece of land has been added to the nursery and planted, and an oflSce and retail store are contemplated. Mr. Soethout proposes taking a trip to Holland shortly to look after his interests there. At the Ferndale Nurseries I found William Grosser suffering from an ab- scess on his neck, this resulting from an insect bite. Stock is on hand for planting the new rose house. J. W. Wolters had the decorations for a dance and dinner at the exclu- sive Midway County Club at Pasadena, Los Angeles Flower Market, Inc. 414^ South Broadway, Los Ansoles, Cal.

Fred Dostal was in charge. W. Bridgport, of Eagle Rock,, is send- ing in fine peonies, much the best com- ing to this market. The stock shown at Wright's Flower Shop has been exceptionally fine .of late, and, while feeling the slackness in trade somewhat, the force is kept busy. The gardenias shipped in from the Gardena plant are good. H. R. Richards. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market A slight sprinkling of rain during the week has done much toward fresh- ening the landscape, and a few more showers are needed. Flowers of all kinds are still plentiful, and from all indications will be so for some time to come. Inside carnations and roses are good and cheap. With the possible ex- ception of fancy Beauties, the market is oversupplied. Tulips are practically oyer for the season. Spanish and other irises are now at their best and, though the stores are well supplied,' most of the stock is fairly well cleaned up. Sweet peas are better than they have been at any time this year. It is not likely, however, that they will be as plentiful as they were last season, on account of the shortage of moisture everywhere. Violets are over com- pletely. Gladioli of the smaller sorts are now in season, but of the larger varieties only a few are being brought into town. Coreopsis, gaillardias and other outside annuals have commenced to be a factor in the line of cheap flow- ers and the street hucksters are making good use of them. Lilac and fruit blossoms are on the wane and a few more days will end them. Valley is not plentiful. Easter lilies and orchids are in sufiicient quantity to fill all re- quirements. Various Notes. Mrs. J. Scannivino has been elected president of the California State Floral Society for the coming year. James Lee, formerly with the H. M. Sanborn Co., of Berkeley, is now con- nected with the Symacopulos Bros., on Broadway, Oakland, Cal. A visit to the houses of J. A.

The accompanying illustration shows the establishment of the Walla Walla Hothouse Vegetable Co., Walla Walla, Wash., of which F. E. Mojonnier is the proprietor. There are nine houses in the range, two of King material being each 40x250 and six of Moninger mate- rial each 15x250. The ninth house is the dark rhubarb house at the right in the illustrHtion, 18x250. The market is a broad one, the output being sold by the Walla Walla Produce Co., in which Mr. Mojonnier also is the con- trolling factor. Walla Walla is a city of about 25,000 inhabitants and the field covers a radius of some 700 miles, the demand being so much ahead of the supply that the addition of thirteen moie 250-foot houses now ifl under con- templation. Thus far cucumbers, to- matoes and lettuce have been the prin- cipal crops, but in the course of time cut flowers and plants are almost sure to be grown.

Department of Plant Registration. Public notice is hereby given that Albert A. Sawyer, of Forest Park, HI., offers for registration the following aster: Name: Sawyer Astermum. Description: During the summer of 1004 I caught a sport among my asters, having a beau- tiful shade of lavender, and from It, by careful selection, I have produced the Sawyer Astermum in the three colors, lavender, pink and white. The blossoms are on the order of the Hohen- zollern, but the petals are much longer and thicker in bloom, making a good shipper. In contrast, however, to the Hohenzollern, the blooms of the Astermum are produced on a plant of upright growth, sending straight up strong, long stems, and is not a branching variety. For this reason I claim it Is original with me, owing to its remarkable resemblance to many varieties of chrysanthemums. Date: April 25, 1913. (Signed) Albert A. Sawyer.

Kendel, Olereland, O. Ttalrty-flnt annnal conTentlon at CleTeland, Jane 24 to 26. 1913. Dry weather in Wisconsin is reported to have retarded the peas. To get a farmer to plant peas this season required some tall talk — but there are plenty of tall talkers in the seed trade. How many good crops, if we ever get them, will it take to put the situation as regards peas back where' it was prior to three years ago? D. B. GuRNEY, of the Gurney Seed Co., Yankton, S. D., states that his company will erect greenhouses this summer and do a general cut flower and plant trade in the future. Present indications are that French bulb prices will rule about the same aa last year except on Eoman hyacinths and, possibly, large sized f reesias, which will be a little higher. The New York seed houses still are exceedingly busy with counter trade, though mail order business has run down to such a point that night work no longer is necessary. The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, has issued a booklet, entitled "Dickinson's Hand Book on Farm Seeds," that is one of the most complete in- its line. It deals largely with field and grass seeds. The historic Astor House, on lower Broadway, New York, is to be closed May 29, and demolished to facilitate the construction .of a subway. It will not seem like the old town to our Hollantl friends next season, we fear. The death of Alexander L. Don, pro- prietor of Weeber & Don, New York, is recorded in this week's obituary column. The business will be continued by Mr. Dku's two sons, who have been in the businejis with their father for a number of years. In this column the trade frequently has been cautioned that it was unwise to book orders for hyacinth bulbs except subject to advance in duty. And the first step toward an advance in duty of 400 per cent has been taken, at the in- stigation of the Treasury Department. Frank H. Cole, advertising manager of Peter Henderson & Co., New York, gave emphasis, in a recent address, to the fact that the farm papers as a class are now operated along high standard lines. The seed trade is giving the agricultural press a constantly increasing part of the advertising appropriation, and cutting down on the big general magazines. The official printed copy of the pend- ing tariff bill as it passed the House May 8 does not agree in all particulars witn the report of the House amend- ments printed last week. The most im- portant differences are that unenumer- ated greenhouse stock is left at twenty- five per cent instead of being included with nursery stock at fifteen per cent, and that there is no age limit on the coniferous evergreen seedlings admitted free. The trade's paragrai)h8, reprinted from an official copy of the bill as it now stands, are shown on page 25. J. W. XOMUMUSOir, lIan»K«T M. W.

Mai 15, 1913. The Florists' Review 71 CURRENT TOPICS My Original Silver Fink Snapdragon has been sold and exhibited in all of the leading markets, but not at any recent show. Show prizes on snapdragons have but little value at present. There are no rules governing the judging, and a tail-end variety in one show can easily be a winner in another show. This fact has and will keep out exhibitors, as noted in the recent shows where only two or three entries were made. SIL- VER PINK is not only the better of two varieties but of all of the varieties to date. Its beautiful color and splen- did habit of growth stands pre-emi- nently alone. There is no other variety that approaches it, and now that it will reproduce in color and habit from seed with only a few pleasing sports, it can be extensively grown at small cost. We have customers that got as many as 900 plants from one packet of seed, which reduces the cost to a minimum. Many varieties of snapdragon now ' 'I offered show side growth near the course, this can be removed at the expense of a bare stem. Silver Pink MARKETED IN FOLL DRESS Side growth gracefully tapers from one inch at the flower to three and four inches at base of stem, which adds sufficient green for a well finished bouquet. Buy Silver Pink and have all that is good in snapdragons. Silver Pink is now growing in a number of foreign countries, carried there by its record and influence, which are safe, sane leaders. A good article is always imitated even to the use of its name. But the beautiful light, silvery shade of pink alone will hold Silver Pink in position. Other pink shades will have a limited use, but, as in the carnation, the one that pleases the public will remain. Becall the Lawson and all kindred shades of carna- tions. They have passed and the buyer is still calling for the light, daybreak shades. The buyer, governed by the public, rules the situation and will ever dp so. Don't spend your time and money trying to break this law. The people buy what they want, hence the great popularity of SILVER PINK — the pioneer commercial snapdragon.

Of the 499 samples of Kentucky bluegrass seed obtained, sixty-two were found to be either adulterated or mis- branded, thirty-six samples containing jess than three per cent of Kentucky Wuegrass. An average of fifty-nine per cent of Canada bluegrass seed was found in fifty-three samples. Two sam- ples were mixtures of redtop and tim- othy and seven were adulterated with rye grass, redtop, timothy, or crested 'log's-tail.

Robert Holmes, Norwich, the English sweet pea raiser, does not agree with the bulletin of Spencer sweet peas re- cently sent out by Lester L. Morse, to which reference has been made in this column. In a letter to an English trade paper Mr. Holmes prefaces a lengthy criticism with: "The bulletin explains that after visiting N. S. P. S. trials at Guildford, and the growing seed crops of some firms, Messrs. Lester L. Morse, Hugh Dickson, Andrew Ireland, William Cuth- bertson and Howard M. Earl consti- tuted themselves a committee to draw up a list of sweet peas 'that would in- clude every distinct feature in the pres- ent known category of varieties.' The floral committee of the N. S. P. S. does contain a modicum of disinterested ele- ment in its constitution, but the self- appointed committee of experts consists of unadulterated self-interest, which fact alone renders them incapable of giving an unbiased judgment on the re- spective merits of the numerous sweet peas now in commerce. Although this committee requires no credentials from me, I wish to record my unqualified be- lief in their integrity of purpose; in- deed, I am certain they have been actu- ated by only the best motive, but there is a natural law, commonly called the instinct of self-preservation, which is inherent in the human race and beyond self-control, which disqualifies them and, in fact, makes them arch-incapables of COLD STORAGE VALLEY ORDER NOW FOR JUNE WEDDINGS Bruns' celebrated CHICAGO MARKET BRAND. $18.00 per 1000; $9.50 per 500; $5.00 per 250 Florists' Money Maker $16.00 per 1000: $8.50 per 500; $4.50 per 250 H.

It is odorless and is easy to apply. Does not stain or injure hands or clothing. It is positively the most economical, quickest and most effective method of getting rid of weeds ever devised. ^A 5-lb. package covers 200 to 500 i^quare feet. It does not kill the grass, but the weeds are practically all killed in 24 to 48 hours, afid afterwards literally burned up and blown away. f^This is not a "fairy tale." We invite investigation. It is sold on "money back guarantee." RETAIL PRICES, 5-lb. package, 25c; 10-lb. packaga, 50c; 100-Ib.bag>, $5.00; barrel lots in bulk, 4^e per lb. Descriptive circular on request.

STEVENS GLADIOLI COMPANY, Saginaw, W. S., Mention The Review when yon write. PROVIDENCE, R. I. The Market. Business was reported as being above the normal during the last week, while funeral work continued brisk and heavy. Mothers' day stimulated a greatly in- creased demand the latter part of the week. While all white flowers were in greater demand than the supply, white carnations fell far short of the call. As early as Wednesday al^ernoon the price on white carnations began to stiffen and continued until the height was reached Saturday of 12^/4 and 15 cents each, without flowers to fill the call. One large department store ad- vertised in the daily papers for white carnations to be distributed free to its customers. Its call was for 3,000, for which it offered to pay 6 cents each. The florists and growers generally have begun their preparations for a big Memorial day rush, and already many orders have been booked for wreaths made of ivy, galax, magnolia and sim- ilar leaves. Various Notes. Johnston Bros, have just received a handsome new auto delivery car. James B. Canning has been busy re- cently on fi^eral work, . Albert Holschcr is ciitting a fine lot of stock> in several colors, .both double and single. John Burke, of the Burke-Burns Rose Co., is preparing for a large wedding decoration in New York the latter part of this month. N. D. Newell, who spent the winter in Florida and other parts of the south, has returned to his home in Attleboro. Baskets of pansies and verbena plants have been in unusual demand this spring. Governor Pothier has signed the bills recently enacted by the General Assem- bly, making the annual appropriation of $30,000 for the Rhode Island State College and $10,^000 for the extermina- tion of the gypsy moths. Joseph Kopelman was in Boston last week looking for a supply of white car- nations for Mothers' day. William Hay, of Oaklawn, is cutting every day about 1,200 fine roses, for which he finds a ready market. Lawrence Hay is finishing his spring work at the Agawam Hunt and Wan- namoisett Club grounds, which are un- der his care the year around. W. H. M.

Thirty-eighth annual meeting, Portland, Ore., June 18 to 20. 1913. Conrad Bros, have established a pri- vate nursery at West AUis, Wis., and will grow 10,000 young trees to be used in ornamenting home sites. ■ A COMPANY is forming at Davis, Yolo county, Cal., to establish a nursery on a 160-acre tract near Grass Valley, recently purchased at a cost of $10,500. The 1912 apple crop is said to be practically cleaned up. It is estimated at 50,000,000 barrels. Predictions as to the commercial crop of 1913 are 60,000^00 barrels. The Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., observing its annual custom, pre- sented the public school pupils of Louis- iana, Mo., May 2, with free fruit trees for planting. In common pleas court at Louisiana, Mo., May 6, in Wm. P. Stark vs. Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., petition for appointment of receiver, depositions on behalf of plaintiff and defendant were received and filed. Three nurseries at ToppeQish, Wash., suffered by fire May 5, when the packing and shipping plant used jointly by the Washington, Toppenish and Yakima Val- ley nurseries was destroyed, with a loss of about $10,000. The loss on stock was not heavy, as the shipping season is about over. It is stated that the fire was of incendiary origin. ' ' E'/ERY apple tree in Oregon should be a pear tree; other places can com- pete with Oregon apples, but no other place with Oregon pears," was the decla- ration made by George A. Dorris, known as the "asparagus king" of Oregon, be- fore the Lane County Horticultural So- ciety, which met May 2 at Eugene to perfect arrangements for the annual meeting of the Oregon State Horticul- tural Society there, June 6 and 7. The meeting voiced its approval of Mr. Dor- ris' suggestion. The official printed copy of the pend- ing tariff bill as it passed the House May 8 does not agree in all particulars with the report of the House amend- ments as printed last week. The word "coniferous" is shown inserted to qualify "evergreen seedlings," but no age limitation is shown. Neither is greenhouse stock classed with nursery stock not specially provided for at fifteen per cent ad valorem. The trade's para- graphs, reprinted from an official copy of the bill, are shown in full on page 25.

The following collection Is the latest offering In this beautiful and Increas- ingly popular class and are two-year- old, English field-grown. AMERICAN BEAUTY. Almost too well known for description, but as popular today as twenty years ago. Rosy carmine, shaded salmon; flow- ers large and full; very floriferous. $10.00 100. ETOILE DE FRANCE. Superb crimson-red velvet, the center of the bloom vivid cerise red. The queen of the everblooming red roses. The most free-blooming and vigorous red rose ever introduced. $10.00 100. GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. No rose in commerce can compare with this as a bedder. It Is a perfect sheet of richest crimson scarlet all sum- mer. A strong, vigorous grower. $12.00 100. JULIET. (Novelty.) This, perhaps, is the most distinct rose ever intro- duced for color, which is unique. It Is of the same type as Soleil d'Or, Rayon d'Or and other Austrian Briars and their hybrids. It was introduced by Wm. Paul & Son in 1910. These types require very little pruning; simply remove the dead and useless wood. The following is the raiser's description: "Outside of petals old gold, interior rich rosy red, changing to deep rose as the flowers expand. A very distinct and attractive novelty, blooming both in summer and autumn. Large and full, of powerful and delicious fra- grance; most beautiful." $25.00 100. CAROLINE TE8T0UT.

This white queen of the Irish roses excels any ottier of its class. The color is pure white. White KiUarney, like Its prototype, is unusually hardy and without protection has stood severe winters as far north as Bos- ton. $15.00 100. L I B E RT Y.

About July 1 the wood is usually in a proper condition. Close coldframes are suit- able. Use sandy loam. Press the cut- tings in firmly and quite close together. Water well and spray freely until the cuttings are rooted. Do not afford much air and close up about four o'clock each afternoon. Gradually dis- pense with shading and by the end of September remove the sashes and leave the cuttings exposed until frost re- moves their foliage. Plant out in nurs- ery rows as soon as the ground is open in spring. Berberis Thunbergii is most easily raised from seeds. These should be col- lected in fall, stratified in dry sand and then sown in flats or a coldframe. A cool greenhouse is a good place in which to germinate many shrub and tree seedlings. Hydrangea paniculata, H. arborescens grandiflora and other popular floweiing shrubs can all be propagated from cut- tings in the same way as the spiraeas and other shrubs already named. , C. W.

Trade for Mothers' day was the same as last year, everything that looked like a flower being cleaned up. White car- nations were the headliner, but they were soon exhausted, and then every- thing went. All of the florists say the same thing — they cleaned up everything in the way of a flower. It looks now as though the public will change from a white carnation to any white flower, which would be a sensible thing to do, because only a small proportion wore white carnations. People were ready to take them at any price, but they were not to be had. Trade outside of the Mothers' day rush has been brisk, with a good supply of stock. Funeral work has been heavy for several days. The plant trade was quite heavy, especially in geraniums. People were anxious to get their plants out the few warm days we had, but a big change has taken place in the last few days. We have had several heavy frosts and reports are to the effect that a great deal of the fruit has been killed in consequence. Everybody is on the run here now with spring bedding, get- ting in shape to push things ahead as soon as weather will permit. The stock of spring plants is fine as a rule and everyone is looking forward to a big trade in that line. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Woodrow have gone to Marion, 0., to visit relatives.

Two or three large funerals, prominent weddings, the race meet and Mothers' day practically cleaned up about all available stock. Larkspur, calendulas and cornflowers are good sellers. Carnations were scarce, espe- cially white and red. Sweet peas are good, particularly the Butterfly varie- ties coming from Chicago. Various Notes. There was a decided increase in Mothers' day sales this year. If the local florists would get together and push this day more strongly, it would mean one of the best flower days of the year outside of Christmas and Easter. A. E. Baumer has been busy with funeral orders during the last fort- night. The bedding season is at its height, 11. Kleinstarink, F. Walker & Co., J. E. Marret, E. G.

The Florists^ Review 87 All Seasonable Plants — Seeds — Bulbs and Sundries HARDY PERENNIALS. T'^e most complete collection of varieties and the largest stock in the country. Our Perennial plants have a national reputation. We spare no expense to have them in the best possible shape for the planter. Such varieties as move better when pot- grown are prepared in this shape. This does not mean little seedlings, but in the majority of cases the plants were field-grown, were dug and potted during the fall and winter months, and are just the right size to give immediate results. They are not to be compared with so-called field clumps. Try them and be convinced. See our current wholesale list ior varieties and prices. LUPINUS POLYPHYLLUS AQUATIC PLANTS-Water Lilies, Nelumbiums, Victorias. Tender and Hardy Aquatics have been a special feature with us for nearly a quarter of a century; over eight acres of artificial ponds are devoted to their culture. If we can assist you in making plans or selecting varieties, the services of our expert are at your disposal for the asking. HYBRID-TEA ROSE KILLARNEY ROSES FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING TO GIVE IMMEDIATE RESULTS, behave three hundred thou- sand 5 and 6-inch pots, the usual Dreer stock, and the style of plants your retail customers are looking for. These are all two- year fleld-grown plants which have been potted during the winter months, and which were stored in cold houses and frames, and which are now in prime condition for outdoor planting. The collection is the most up-to-date, including many new varieties not offered by anyone in the trade. Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals, Tea and Ever- bloominer.

DREER, Inc. 714 CHESTNUT ST. Philadelphia, Pa, 88 The Florists^ Review Mat 15, 1918. KANSAS CITY. The Market. The local market was even except for the last part of the week, white carna- tions taking a big jump and selling wholesale as high as $6 per hundred. Sunday morning carnations could not be had, as everybody sold out early Sat- urday. Boses were scarce Monday morn- ing. Mothers' day cleaned up every- thing in the shape of cut flowers. Car- nations and roses held up at a fair price throughout the week. Funeral work and decorating were rather heavy. Every- body seemed to have his share of the work. The spring bedding stock is going faster this year than ever before, also earlier by two weeks. The re- tailers report that porch and window boxes have increased in number by fifty per cent over last year. Various Notes. Alpha Elberfield reports that for Mothers' day his business was far above expectations. It doubled over last year. His orders were extremely heavy, but the size of the individual orders did not increase. He predicts that in less than ten years Mothers' day will be as heavy as any other holiday. A. F. Barbe says he has filled twice as many porch boxes this year and has hardly enough room to fill more until some are taken away. L. G. Brown says he is too busy to have any news and that they are going as fast as they can possibly go. They are now several days behind on orders. ' E. D.

Bradshaw This is one of the finest plants of recent introduction. It will put quite into the background all the Geums at present found in gardens. This fine variety pro- duces very large flowers, 2 inches or more across, semi-double, and with plenty of substance in them, of the most brilliant scarlet. They are produced on long wir.v stems, and continuously from June to October. For cutting and border decora- tion it is very hard to beat, and no doubt it will figure conspicuously on the show table in future.

Mothers' day No. 3 has come and gone, after creating an amount of hus- tle and business almost equal to a busy Christmas day. Florists went after business in such a manner as to con- vince one that everybody had a mother, and that the habit of sending her flow- ers had really come to stay. The de- mand for white was enormous, and to make it worse some irresponsible news- paper writers spread the idea that the public should insist on having white flowers, and should not be put oflf with any other color. From 88 degrees in the shade, the temperature dropped to 8 below freezing May 9 and 10, oc- casioning much damage to young stock throughout the neighborhood. Various Notes. The most interesting news of the week is the dismissal of the action brought by a local lawyer against the* Dale Estate for $1,591.32 worth of wa- ter rates. The first action was brought over twelve months ago, when the law- yer made the municipality a party to his cause. It failed. Prior to the close of 1912, he appealed the case and won, but the case was sent again to a higher court, and three out of the four judges have rendered a verdict which leaves no doubt as to the raison d'etre of the action, the Dale ,Estate appeal being allowed and the action dismissed, with costs amounting to over $3,000 against the person bringing it. W. Wells, the celebrated chrysanthe- mum grower of Merstham, Surrey, England, called here on his way home from the states last week. Walter Calvert has just erected two more greenhouses, 20x200 feet, which he intends to plant with violets. His other houses are given up to tomatoes, lettuce and sweet peas, all of which are a credit to the grower. Mark Henderson has his new houses well on the way and, in addition to tomatoes and lettuce, he intends to grow carnations and sweet peas this season. W. G. P.

W. "Wells, the celebrated chrysanthe- mum grower of Merstham, Surrey, England, called here on his way home from the states last week. Walter Calvert has just erected two more greenhouses, 20x200 feet, which he intends to plant with violets. His other houses are given up to tomatoes, lettuce and sweet peas, all of which are a credit to the grower. Mark Henderson has his new houses well on the way and, in addition to tomatoes and lettuce, he intends to grow carnations and sweet peas this season. W. G. P.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The Market. Mothers' day at Indianapolis was quite a success. The market was thor- oughly cleaned up and little stock was available May 12. Not only white car- nations, but anything in the shape of a flower sold. There was quite a little newspaper advertising done this year and nearly every mother's son thought it his duty to buy her flowers. Trade has been somewhat better the last week. 'The weather has been ex- tremely cold for this time of the year, there being a light frost on the night of May 12. The florists doing a bed- ding business are hustling now, and judging by the way things have opened up this should be a good year. Good vinca vines are a little scarce this year, and the price is going up every day. There is not a great variety of cut flowers at this time. Good roses and ileauties are plentiful, as are carna- ions. Snapdragons find a ready call, ut the supply is short. Sweet peas and daisies are cleaned up dllily. Various Notes. ^ S. T. Hitz & Son are installing a new boiler and erecting another greenhouse. The regular monthly meeting of the State Florists' Association was held in the store rooms of the Smith & Young Co. May 6, with about eighteen mem- bers present. President Coles was in the chair. Considerable business was transacted. It was decided to omit the June meeting on account of the business rush of the florists. The meet- ing was followed by the usual lunch and social features. Albert Marshall, formerly with A. Wiegand's Sons Co., has opened a stand at the market. Bertermann Bros. Co. furnished the decorations for the opening of the Canoe Club. George Wiegand has the golf fever. The Wiegands are well represented at the Highland Golf Club. Frank Hasselman is busy with the plant business. H. L. W. NEWPORT, E. I. A large shed for gardeners' tools and a potting house are being erected on the Cr. Roderick Terry estate on Gibbs avenue. "William Jurgens has commenced the erection of a terra cotta dwelling with brick trimmings, on Butler street, to cost $4,500. H. J.

The monthly meeting of the West- chester and Fairfield Horticultural Soci- ety was held in Doran's hall May 9, President Robert Williamson in the chair. The busy season had no doubt a little bearing on the attendance, which was not so large as usual. Inciden- tally, this was the first meeting since the society 's inception that it has failed to enroll a new member. Messrs. Forster and Flaherty were elected on the execu- tive committee in place of H. Wild, elected vice-president, and James Aitch- ison, resigned. A fine display of spring flowers was on view, judged as follows: Robt. Williamson, highly commended for collec- tion of flowering shrubs. James Stewart, highly commended for Calceola- ria Stewarti. A. L. Marshall, highly commended for Mlltonia vesiUaria. Anton Pederson. honorable mention for vase of campanulas. Geo E.

Mothers' day and its results made the florists in Dayton feel that they were more than glad to be in business again. Business on this occasion was a wonder and surpassed all expectations, while the receipts were more than dou-. ble what they were last year. Flow- ers, regardless of color or quality, were sold out clean and at a good price, rendering it only possible to take care of half the demand. Mothers' day, from present indications, has come to stay, and it is surely a good thing for the florists. Such days do not come amiss to the Dayton florists, who lost 80 much during the recent flood. All but one or two of our florists have become established again at their old locations and all report business to be picking up even better than they had dared to hope. With the approach of Decoration day the demand for pot and bedding plants is increasing daily and there is likely to be a scarcity in the supply of these, as many people are buying more heavily this year, in order to cover with flow- ers some of the destruction done by the recent flood. Eoses and carnations are in good supply, although the hot sun is greatly affecting their size. Baby gla- dioli, sweet peas, snapdragons, etc., are also fairly abundant and there is a good demand for them. Various Notes.

ROSE AFTER-SATISFACTION. When you buy G. A R. roses you get along with them the after-satisfaction — that sense of realizing all the success that should come from planting quality roses, the knowing that no bet- ter results are possible to be obtained outside of G. A R. roses. It is the after-satisfaction that has compelled us to plan to grow for the coming season one million additional roses. Think of it, the after-satisfaction selling five million roses, and demanding a million Increase, in one year. "Going some.'* you say. Yes, but are you getting your share of this "rose after- satlsf action" ? If not, why not? Plant G. A R. quality roses. None better, none so good.

StJBSCRiBERS are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Review to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating -equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best for the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. To judge from the reports in the coal trade papers, the labor troubles in the West Virginia mines have been sifted down to the one question of the recogni- tion of the union, a proposition on which alone the men are not prepared to make a stand. It seems, therefore, unlikely that the troubles will spread to the smokeless field and improbable that the production of the florists' favorite fuel will be curtailed this summer in the measure that seemed, a few. weeks ago, more than likely. THE FUEL MABKET. Interest in the Chicago coal market, flays the Black Diamond, centers in the placing of contracts. Some of the pro- ducers of steam coal proved undependa- ble when the coal shortage came last fall. They could not, apparently, re- sist the temptation to go back to the old practice of making a pretense of being short of coal on their contracts that they might have some coal to sell Talaphana Cantral 14 latabliahad 1857 Kelly, W.

The avenues of information are a lit- tle too wide open these days to permit any such practice to prevail and as a consequence those concerns are finding it difficult to renew their old contracts, that business going of its own volition to other members of the trade. Those concerns, cut out of some of their reg- ular contracts, are appealing to new groups of buyers, and in the struggle to place a certain tonnage, are forced to cut prices. The concerns which lived up faithfully to their contracts have not only retained their old customers at slightly higher prices, but also have taken on the new ones who are looking for a dependable supply of coal. On smokeless coal, the placing of con- tracts has been rather heavy, despite the higher prices. In that field the price is determined by the law of sup- ply and demand, plus the appreciation among the operators that certain neces- sary charges have too long been neg- lected and must at this late date be made against the coal production. There has been more or less talk that the smokeless operators could not hope to obtain their circular prices. Ind.ed, the reports have been frequent that the prices already have been cut. An inquiry into the facts of the situarion not only reveals that prices as no^ announced are being held firm, but that the operators appreciate that this is but an intermediate step in the up- ward tendency of prices. The next vise will, it is intended, bring the va'ues up to perhaps $1.50 on an average fot the mine-run. LOCATION OF PIPES.

WATER PSllF course, if your range is of a kSJ size economical for heating with cast iron boilers, you won't consider for a minute putting in an unwieldy, short-lived wrought iron tubular boiler. If it is lo be a water boiler, this Sectional one of ours has a rather enviable reputation for greenhouse economy that puts a stop to your considering anything but this green- house boiler made especially for greenhouse work. Knowing how essential a prompt, strong circulation is in greenhouse heating, we designed this boiler to do just that thing. And it does it. HiicKitv NEW YORK OFFICE 1170 Broadway STEAM ■IF you install water, and also U want an auxiliary system of steam, or if you prefer steam, our steam boiler will surely suit you. A system of this kind is in- valuable for sulphuring a rose house. One thing many growers tell us about our steam boiler is its quick steaming power and the fact that, after steam is down, a vapor heat continues for some time. You will instantly recognize the advantage of a continued "gentle heat." Let's talk it over— you and I. Elizabeth, N. J.

Can I successfully heat all the houses with one boiler? If so, what is the best way of protecting the pipes, which would have to run from house No. 1 to No. 3? What size of hot water boiler will be required? We burn only soft coal here. The lowest outside tem- perature in this locality is about 27 degrees above zero. T. S. The sketch shows one house divided into three rooms by cross partitions, as follows: No. 1, a rose house, 20x68; No. 2, a fern house, 20x38, and a pro- posed carnation house, 15x20. The temperatures desired in these rooms are, respectively, 58, 60 and 52 degrees. Each room has three feet of brick and three feet of glass in each wall. An- other house, thirty feet away, contains two rooms — No. 3, 15x18, and No. 4, 15x22, for which temperatures of 60 and 50 degrees are desired. The sketch does not show which way the houses run or where it is pro- posed to locate the boiler. If the boiler is to be at the end of the car- nation room, the rose, fern and carna- tion rooms could be heated by running a 3-inch overhead main under the ridge to the farther end of the rose house and then dropping a 214-inch feed pipe down on each side of the door, con- necting each of them to a coil of four pipes running to the corners and then along the side walls back to the boiler. If the boiler house is built across the end of the carnation room, no radiation will be required for the end of that room. If the boiler is low enough so that the flow and return pipes can be car- ried underground from room No. 1 across the thirty feet of open space to room No. 4, it will be possible to heat all of the rooms with one boiler, rated for 1,200 to 1,500 square feet of ra- diation. Cover the pipes with asbestos and run them through either sewer pipe or cement conduits. Use 2%'inch pipe for the main flow and return. Run the flow pipe under the ridge through room No. 4 to the farther end of room No. 3, and, as in the other range, drop down two feed pipes, each of which should supply a coil of three pipes to run to the corners and along the walls back to the farther end of the house.

"This is the age of specialization," said Adolphus Gude in a short talk given before the members of the Flo- rists' Club, their ladies and friends, at the annual banquet at the New EbUTtt House last week, "Select your spe- cialty," he said, "and grow that spe- cialty just a little better than the other fellow does. You will find that the storekeepers will come around and want your stock." He urged the florists to refrain from raising prices for Mothers' day. Mr. Gude also made the speech presenting to ex-President and Mrs. David J. Grillbortzer a handsome cut glass water set, the gift of the members. The banquet was one of the most suc- cessful affairs ever given by the club and the evening was made more enjoy- able by music and songs rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Callow and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur D. Peirce. Ernest Geichner also gave a quasi-comical talk on his experiences as an employer and on other matters, which elicited both laughter and applause. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., was among the speakers, telling of his experiences abroad and of the superiority of some of the products of the domestic growers. Mrs. J. A. Phillips and Mrs. Rosina Stauff were the speakers from among the ladies and they were followed by J. Rosnosky, of Philadelphia, who, re- ferring to the recent flower show, stated he hoped to see in his home city two years hence. a show that would outclass even the historic Boston show. In line with the effort to secure an enactment of laws which would operate to close all business establishments on Sundays, O. A. C. Oehmler asked that the support of the florists be given the movement. He said there is but one excuse for Sunday work, and that is competition. N. S. Hammer announced that an out- ing will be held by the bowling team early in August, at Chesapeake Beach. Among those present were Messrs. and Mesdames Otto Bauer, W. E. Mc- Kissick, W. F. Gude, Richard Vincent, Jr., David J. Grillbortzer, O. A. C. Oehmler, Arthur Peirce, C. L. Linz, Ed- ward Callow, Ernest Geichner, J. A. Phillips; Mrs. Rosina Stauff, Messrs. Webber, Adolphus Gude, E.

The express drivers are now out on strike and have been for ten days, which ^makes it impossible to get shipments promptly. Consignments are received only at owners' risk, and for this rea- son shipments are not consigned to this city. Every one complained of Tpoor business all the week, but Mothers ' day was a winner. Business started May 10. and grew better until Sunday, when everything salable was cleaned out. The wholesale price advanced on carnations from 2 cents to 4 cents, and there were none to be had at that. It is plainly evident that this day will be •one of the largest flower days in the trade outside of the established holi- days. Increased publicity this season helped the sale wonderfully, and every- where Mothers' day was evident. The spring business is now at hand and bids fair to be big. A few warm days brought out many requests for pots ■ of geraniums, and many signs point to a large season. Various Notes. J. B. "Wiese expects to be in his new store in the market in a few days. The new market will be one of the finest in the country, and Mr. Wiese will have a display room equal to the fine stores ■of the city. Charles Sandiford has a new touring car. R, A. S. ^ MILWAUKEE, WIS. Iptikerg' day for the florists was a success, being ahead of expectations and, in fact, finding some rather un- prepared. The local English press un- doubtedly was the main factor in get- ting the ball rolling. Most of the min- isters embodied Mothers' day in their sermons, while the Milwaukee Christian Temperance Union distributed white carnations to the unfortunates at the county jail. From the wholesalers' point of view, the demand for this day was far ahead of last year. In fact, the demand ex- -ceeded the supply. White carnations were a scarce article, while the supply of the other shades was inadequate for the occasion. This, in turn, helped out rail of the other kinds of cut flowers, so that by Saturday night the whole- -ealers were completelv cleaned up. E. 0. Get Interested, Nr.

FORT DODQE, lA. The Park Floral Co., located on Fif- teenth street, opposite Oakland ceme- tery, has recently opened its plant for business. This company has leased ten acres south of the Haviland orchard and already has completed the erection of one building and expects to build three more immediately. The entire cost of improving this property will be about $5,000. W. M. Colwell, for- merly with the North Floral Co., and C. Demester are the two men at the head of this new company. Mr. Demester moved to this country but two years ago. Before that time he had some- « thing like twenty-five years' experience in the business in France, Belgium and England. They expect to specialize not only in flowers but in vegetables and fruits and have a large field of straw- berries planted.

And there the matter ENDS. WINTER VEGETABLES DUE TO CYPRESS? This is no joke ; it Is plain enough to see. If greenhouses were made of a less enduring wood than Cypress, the cost of maintenance would be so great that pobody could afford to build on a large scale for winter vegetable production. With a carpenter coming in every day or two to make repairs and replacements, the expenses would eat up all the vegetables and leave none for the cus- tomers to eat ! But when the greenHouse is made of Cypress, literally the "Wood Eternal," and the repair man is a stranger to the place, then is there a show for profit to the producer. Looks like a fair conclusion that "winter vegetaDlea are due to Cypress." GET A BOOK OR TWO. Better get a volume, or two, or a dozen, of our Cypress Pocket Library — they're FREE.

The Disastrous Storms and Cyclones of This Spring, * • which cauBed such heavy damage to the trade in almost all parts of the country, should no doubt teach greenhouse builders some lessons. While seemingly nothing can resist a cyclone when it strikes with full force, some styles of construction stood the heavy storms while others under the same con- ditions have collapsed. We recommend in our construction to use purlin posts set solid in concrete to withstand the pressure, and the purlins safely tied down to prevent the suction of the storm — and no loss has been reported to us on any of these houses with exception of one case where the storm picked up part of a shed from a distance slnd threw it on the houses, demolishing that part which was struck. . We further recommend the Dietfech short-roof cOtastruction, which has no purlin posts, but the corrugated-like surface which these houses present to the storm seems to offset the force of pressure and suction and no loss has been reported to us whatever. At the same time please note that our construction, which has stood the test so well, is inex- pensive. A. DIETSCH CO.

The Florists^ Review <^ III ADVICE ON BOILERS Do you want true heatiDg values for your money? Many florists, to their sorrow, have made the mistake of buying cast iron boilers, which, because of their ratings, appeared to be cheaper than the Kroeschell boiler. The extravagant ratings of cast iron boilers are misleading, and have been the cause of much disappointment and serious trouble to many growers. The fuel waste Is enormous when cast iron boilers are used for commercial purposes, such as greenhouse heating, etc., etc. Do not make a mistake when selecting your new boiler; get a K roeschell and you will never be disappointed. HONEST BOILER FACTS WHIT THE USERS SAY Kroegchell Replaces Three (8) Cast Iron Boilers. We purchased of you this spring a No. 6 Kroeschell Boiler, which you guaranteed would take the place of three oast iron boilers. Well. the whole thing in a nutshell is this —your word is as good as gold. Night before last we had a severe storm of snow and sleet and a very high wind; we had not the least bit of trouble. We fired the last at 10 p. m., November 24, and the next morning at 7 o'clock we looked at the houses and found it only 1 degree less than when we fired the last coal, 9 hours earlier. If this isn't magnificent work and a good test, we would be pleased to hear from anyone else that could furnish a better boiler. We know if parties wishing a boiler would get one from you they never would try any other. We think in 5 years' running of this boiler we will have the price saved in the difference m our coal bill. Wishing you the best of success, we remain , Very truly yours, Adam Laub & Son, Hughsonville. N.V. Kroenclirll BoHer Better tlian Tubular Boilers or Cast Iron Boilers. Wathington Court House, Ohio. Have used upright boiler, tubular boiler and cast iron boiler. The Kroeschell Boiler heats up better and easier than any oiher boiler we have ever had any- thing to do with. If we ever buy another, it will certainly be a Kroeschf 11. Very truly yours, Poole &. Purllant. Try the Kroeschell First— It's Ahead of Them AH. I have had eight or ten "ther types of boilers. The Kroeschell Is the best 1 haveeverused. Vour boiler heats the water very quickly— almost as fast as steam. Vours very truly, H K.Lewis, Dorothy, N.J.

WHAT THE USERS SAY Cast Iron Boilers Caese Freeze-ont— Kroeschell Boilers No Worry. I bought a No. 2 boiler in 1902. Takes care of 7000 sq. ft. 6f glass— would take care of 2000 more. I have had a cast, iron boiler, but it broke down twice in fonr years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down Dec. 29, 1904, and I lost all my stock in con- sequence. I have now two No. 2 and one No. 6 Kroes- chell boilers and do not worry about their breaking down. ' Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, la. The Kroescholl Does Car Work Essier- than Cast Iron Boilers and Hares 20% to 86% Fuel. The No 4 boiler is heating 10,000 sq. ft. of glass-it would take care of 13,000 sq. ft. easy. Have no trouble to keep tem- perature of 60 and 60 degrees m coldest weather. The boiler has given perfect satisfaction. We had two cast iron boilers, one rated for I20O ft. of pipe and one rated for ISOO ft. These boilers never did the work at their best and when the greenhouses were new. According to our experience with yours, we will save 20 to 2S per cent of fuel. Hild Bros.. Lake Forest, 111. Cast Iron Boilers Waste Fael. I had a cast iron 8 section boiler before, but was afraid it would crack to pieces. The Kroeschell Boiler is cer- tainly a fuel saver. My coal bill to heat 5000 so. ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less than last winter's coal bill, when I only had 2060 sq. ft. of glass heated with the 8 sec- tion cast iron boiler. Vour boiler bums any kind of fuel. I would not have another boiler than a Kroes- chell, ind will recommend it whenever I get a chance. Edward Wittamer, Joliet, 111. KROESCHELL BROS.

The Florists^ Review 17 Shower Bouquets for a Carnival, Made by H. H. Kuhlmaon, of Houston, Tex. Now we learn from the Albany Times- Union of May 15 that it was Congress- man Ten Eyck who "Fixed the Flower Tariff. At request of Wm. C. Gloeck- ner he made law clear; the whole hor- ticultural trade is indebted to him for his work for them." Here is the story: "The fact that the Albany district for the first time in years is 'repre- sented' in Congress was strikingly brought home to William C. Gloeckner and other florists here and throughout the country recently. Mr. Gloeckner, with the remark, 'That's the kind of a congressman we have,' handed out ^'ome correspondence this morning which tells the story. "For years the tariff on bulbs and other items of horticulture has been subject to an ambiguous classification •n the tariff law, which has resulted in endless litigation on the part of im- porters of florists' things in efforts to collect duties which they paid errone- ously, and which has given the dis- honest European importer a vast ad- vantage over the honest American working under this poorly constructed tariff scheme. "The florists did not object to the 'ate of duties imposed, but only to the Way in which the things were classi- fied. ^ Mr. Gloeckner happened to mention to a large importing house in New ^ork the fact that Albany had a live •'ongressman at Washington, who was anxious to do what he could for all his constituents, including Gloeckner him- self, and through the congressman and through Gloeckner the matter was effectively taken up with Congressman Francis Burton Harrison, of the House committee on tariff amendments. ' * Through him the proper wording of the horticultural section was secured, and Mr. Gloeckner has been asked by florists throughout the country to thank Mr. Ten Eyck for the good work he did for them. "It is probable that at the next meet- ing of the Albany Florists' Club reso- lutions will be passed setting forth the approval of that association on Mr. Ten Eyck's courtesy in taking the mat- ter up, and his forcefulness in bringing it to a successful conclusion." GHENT QUINQUENNIAL SHOW. The eighteenth international quin- quennial exhibition of the Royal So- ciety of Agriculture and Botany, at Ghent, Belgium, was opened by His Majesty the King of Belgium, April 26. This exhibition eclipsed in size and grandeur all its predecessors. The spacious new buildings in which the show was held were admirably suited for the purpose; the whole of the ar- rangements reflected credit upon the organizers, and the culture and group- ing of the plants formed a high tribute to the skill of Belgian horticulturists. The 840 competitive classes were judged by 300 of the leading horti- culturists of Europe, working in groups of five or six, with a chairman and secretary for each group and with Sir Harry J. Veitch, London, as president of the jury. The exhibition was divided into three sections, one of which was de- voted entirely to orchids. The so- called azalea palace, comprising four acres of floor space, was used mainly for azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs and carnations. The third section, includ- ing about three acres of floor space, contained palms, crotons, ferns and other stove and greenhouse plants. Carnations were an important fea- ture, and the marvelous development in their culture in Europe was demon- strated when compared with the show of 1908, when there were only two small exhibits. The leading honors went to England, and C. Engelmann, Saffron Walden, headed the list with a grand collection containing over 6,000 blooms. To this an award of (Euvre d'Art was made. Gold medals were awarded to Stuart Low & Co.; A. F. Dutton, iver; Young & Co., Chelten- ham; Cutbush & Son, London; E. Draps-Boudry, Oostdunkerke, Belgium, and E. De Wolf, Alost, Belgium. New plants — that is, plants not pre- viously exhibited — were rare on this occasion. Most subjects had been seen at one or more European exhibitions prior to the Ghent show. Sand!St' & Sons, Bruges, Belgium, were in the front rank with a variety of subjects, including Trevesia Sanderi, Maranta Sanderaj, Alocasia colossa, etc. — foliage plants not likely to become popular commercial lines, but extremely inter- esting for collections and botanic gar- 18 The Fbrists' Review Max 22, 1918. dens. On the other hand, their new camellia, Fred Sander, should prove popular. It was a great attraction; the bright red, semi-double flowers, with fringed petals, gave it a distinct and pleasing appearance. W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., was awarded a gold medal for Dracaena Mandaiana, Polypodium Mandaianum, Anthericum Mandaianum, Asparagus elongatus, etc. When the man in the show was asked his opinion about novelties, 'Jt« invari- ably referred to the yellow pl4|(^. This was PsBonia hybrida La Lorran«, from Lemoine & Son, Nancy, France. It was a lovely hybrid Moutan variety, ob- tained by crossing P. lutea and P. Moutan Queen Elizabeth, a salmon tinted variety. The Lemoines have been successful in obtaining a distinct pretty flower, of a light salmon buff passing to yellow. The flowers are double and about four inches in diam- eter, with high centers, and were pro- claimed by nine men out of every ten as the novelty of the show. Bee. GREENHOUSE 9g STANDARDIZATION By PHILIP L. McKEE, of Ihe John C. Moninger Co^ Chicago. STANDARD WIDTHS OF HOUSES. Difflcultiee to Be Overcome. It would not be a hard matter for any one firm to compile a list of stand- ard widths that would be acceptable to a large majority of the growers; the trouble would be to get the other manufacturers of material to accept it. This does not mean that there is any desire on the part of any manufac- turer to be arbitrary, but rather a de- sire on his part to preserve the indi- viduality of his own particular type or types of construction or to keep the widths of houses which he may have set up himself as standard widths. It is hard for us to get away from those things which we ourselves have cre- ated and which for many years we have been accustomed to regard as al- most perfection. This applies to every- thing in life. Most of us have our convictions, our principles and our be- liefs, and a determined effort on the part of anyone to stand by these is a sure indication of character. It may be said that the making of any par- ticular article used in commerce is in many respects like a habit. Habits, good and bad, are hard things some- times to overcome, and the habit of making a certain article in a certain way is likewise many times hard to get around. It is a fact that for many years it has keen customary among manufac- turers of greenhouse material to fur- nish houses of any width called for. The question of the width of the house was, in almost every case, left to the customer. Suggestions as to Widths. Taking all things into consideration, it seems to nie the following widths, with a few changes and modifications, should be adopted by manufacturers and growers alike, if concerted action on a standardization scheme is possi- ble, and I think it is. Omitting the propagating house and all extremely narrow widths, I would start with what is commonly known as the short- roof house. The width of this house, with -&11 materials working to go0d advantage and without its bein^ neces- sary to use upright supports for the roof other than the wall posts, should be fourteen feet nine inches. Going from this width, the next one we come to would be a house twenty-one feet wide. It is not »«Anomical to build The first part of this article, published in Tbe l{eview of May 15, treats of the practicability uf greenhouse standardization, draws attention to some of the advantages that would be secured by such a system and states some of the prin- ciples that must be obFerved in determining the different degrees of roof pitch for different widths of hougfs. houses between fourteen feet nine inches and twentyrone feet, as the raw materials do not work to advan- tage; there is really no excellent bench arrangement to be had and the frame- work must be supported in the same way and at practically the same cost as for a 21-foot width.

WK 8HAIX, BK GLAD TO HXAR FROM TOU me the next width would be twenty- five feet. Now, in suggesting the three widths just mentioned the idea has been to suggest houses for building in range form. Either of the three widths, how- ever, is adapted lor use in a single house. Tke house fourteen feet nine inches wide offers in range form an excellent arrangement . of 5-foot benches. The 21-foot width would work out ideally with 5-foot benches, and the 25-foot house in range form with benches four feet eight inches wide is a good type. Widths of Benches and Walks. There are many widths of benches used and there are advocates of each of the widths. Some of our grower friends like a 4-foot bench and claim they can grow almost as much stock on it as on a bench six inches wider, and that the stock does better on account of there being more outside rows. Others, again, as loudly maintain the advantages of a 5-foot width, saying the increased distance between the plants causes them to do better, and that their production is not only greater in quantity, but finer in qual- ity. This bench matter ought to be thrashed out on a scientific basis. Someone ought to get all of the argu- ments together, pro and con, for va- rious kinds of stock, and then by a process of elimination decide on the proper width of bench. It can all be done, but it means an outlay of time and money. Some of us, however, are in a position to do work of this kind and, for the benefit of all concerned, it ought to be done. Another matter is the width of the walks. Some of the best growers maintain a width of eighteen inches is all that is needed in a commercial growing house, while others will stand for nothing less than twenty inches. There are others, again, who want walks as wide as twenty-four inches. In my opinion, the 24-inch walk is entirely too wide, except for a few of our heavy-set men, who need a great deal of room. It seems to me a width of twenty inches is about right. The standard widths suggested are figured on a basis of walks approximately twenty inches wide. Houses in Range Form. The next width would be a housr twenty-seven feet wide, but this width is desirable only for range form. The first house in a range of houses twenty- seven feet wide should be twenty- eight feet nine inches wide. A house twenty-eight feet nine inches in width allows for four benches five feet wide, and five walks approximately twenty- one inches wide. Using walks twenty inches wide, this house would be twen- ty-eight feet four inches. The cost for building material for the house twenty-eight feet four inches wide is practically the same as for the house twenty-eight feet nine inches wide. De- tached houses should be built either twenty-eight feet four inches or twen- " Mat 22, 1913, The Florists' Review 19 .^ Cv Fij. V, Illustrating Houses Twenty-seven Feet and Tweniy-eight Feet Nini Inches Wide. ty-eight feet nine inches, and if this detached house is to be the beginning of a range all additional houses can be twenty-seven feet wide. You will please understand that in speaking of houses in range form it is understood that there are no dividing walls be- tween the houses and that the range is open all the way through. [Fig. V shows a 27-foot house and one twenty- eight feet nine inches.] There is a limit to the width of houses for building in range form and my idea is that this limit is reached in the 34-foot house. The 34-foot house permits the use of five benches five feet wide and five walks about twenty-one inches wide. From this you will see the 34-foot house is a desirable type only when built in range form and there are the same objections to it as there are to the 27-foot width, in that the first house or the start of the range must be a larger house. This first house would need to be about thirty-five feet eight inches. Widths of Detached Houses. Now we come to the houses that can be built in detached style only, or, in other words, must stand alone, as single units. In these detached houses there is always one walk more in a house than there are benches. In other words, if there are six benches, there must be seven walks, unless what are known as side benches are used against the walls, on the outside. These side benches are sometimes desirable, but in our first start on the standard- ization scheme let us disregard them entirely. To get started on the de- tached houses, let us assume that five feet is the ideal width for benches and that twenty inches is the ideal width for walks. Let us design our first house to contain six benches, each five feet wide, a total of thirty feet of width of benches. This makes it necessary to have seven walks, each twenty inches wide, a total of 140 inches, or eleven feet eight inches. This would give us a width of forty- one feet eight inches. To provide for concrete walls, brick walls, etc., let us set up our first house as forty-two fpei. From this basis we can progress to any other standard width by sim- P'y adding five feet for each bench tJiat would be added and twenty inches for each additional walk, or a total of Six feet eight inches for every bench that we add. [Fig. VI shows the ar-_ rangement alternating 5-foot benches and 20-inch walks.] This makes our next house forty- eight feet eight inches, the next one nrty-five feet four inches, the next one sixty-two feet, the next one sixtv-eight feet eight inches, the next one seventy- five feet four inches, and so. on. The Benches and Walks Again. The standard widths which I have mentioned are, as you can readily see, based on something that is not stand- ard. In other words, it has been necessary to set up a standard width of bench and a standard width of walk in order to figure on any standard width of house, and so we go back again to the question of which width of bench is the ideal width. It has al- ways been my idea to decide first on the width of the bench and the width of the walk, and then build the house above them. When we have finally decided on a standard bench and a standard walk we have absolutely solved the entire standardization scheme, as far as the width of the greenhouse is concerned. All of the measurements given for the widths of houses are from cen- ter to center of walls, or rather wall posts. Others may want to establish standard widths based on inside meas- ure or outside measure, but that really makes little difference, so long as the standard will permit of an ideal bench arrangement. Construction Details. Can we ever hope to standardize the thousand and one different patterns of material and the thousand and one different methods of building walls, roofs, benches, etc? If I correctly view the standardization scheme, I do not think this will ever be possible, nor do I think it practical. My idea is to let every manufacturer preserve the individuality of his product. Let every manufacturer strive to better his de- signs, his patterns, his construction and every part of his product. The idea is to standardize greenhouses so that every manufacturer making this class of material can carry in stock his own individual product for all standard sizes of greenhouses. This, it seems to me, is the common-sense way of looking at it. But here we run against an obstacle that would hardly occur to the layman. Suppose that we would establish a width of forty-two feet for our first detached greenhouse. Suppose this width has been figured from center to center of wall posts and that gutters measuring twelve inches in width are used on each of the walls. Here comes another manufacturer who makes an ice-clearing eave plate, and on account of the difference in placing the posts, etxJ., his center to center measurement would be different, using the same in- terior arrangement for the benches and the walks. How are we going to over- come things of this character? Frankly, I do not just see at this time how Fif. VI, Showing Five-foot Benches and Twenty-inch WaOu Attematiog. 20 The Florists' Review May 22, 1913. these difficulties can be surmounted, but is it really essential to carry the standardization scheme as far as this? Could not each manufacturer, accept- ing the standard widths as finally de- cided on, make his own standard de- signs, using his own individual pat- terns? Would this not be practical, anyway? Sections and Size of Glass. The size of glass for greenhouses is probably more standard than any other thing. It is probably safe to say that seventy-five to eighty per cent of all the greenhouses built in the United States in 1912 were glazed with 16x18 glass, and probably eighty-five to ninety per cent were glazed with six- teen inches between the roof sashbars. This width of sixteen inches seems to be the happy medium, for it permits the use of 14x16, 16x18, 16x20 and 16x24 glass. The same number of square feet of glass in the first two sizes would be the same price, while in the next two sizes the price runs from 20 to 35 cents per box more. The size of glass has much to do with the length of the sections. If greenhouses can be manufactured and put up in sections, these sections must be stand- ard. Using 16-inch glass permits making standard sections approximately eight feet four inches in length for all iron frame houses. Growers and manufacturers should all get together on this question of the width of glass and then the manufac- turers can easily decide on the stand- ard sections. One of the prime objects in writing this article has been to start a dis- cussion on the subject. The writer hardly presumes the scheme, as out- lined, could be adopted in its entirety. There are many things to be decided on and the subject requires the thought and attention of the best minds in this line of industry. It is the writ- er's hope that 80%iething may come of this and that the day is not far distant when both the manufacturer and the consumer shall reap the benefit of a standardization scheme. There is no doubt whatever that standardiza- tion will benefit everyone concerned. * ^ SEASONABLE i ^ SUGGESTIONS j i 3C 3C Gardenias. Where an early winter crop of gar- denias is wished for, and where the plants are to be grown in benches, planting should, if possible, be done by the early part of June. Of course, good gardenias can be had from much later plantings, but early plantings, which allow the plants to send their roots through all the soil, are far less liable than the later ones to get cold feet and drop their buds. In the way of compost use one which •s fairly coarse and through which water will pass freely. \t is best to »k|pi> out the finer particles of soil. Add to this some cow manure and leaf- mold, not too much decayed, and some coarse sand and the plants will rievel in it. Better leave out bone and other fertilizers until the gar- denias need some stimulants in the way of top-dressings. Plants can be set 12 X 18. Leave a little saucer-like depression around each plant, and when watering soak each plant indi- vidually rather than wet the whole bed. Let the plants dry out fairly well between waterings. An excess of moisture is likely to bring along the yellows later in the season. Play the spray nozzle on the hose among the plants to keep the mealy bug in check. Cyclamens. Keep the young cyclamens potted along carefully. jljL.jfpu can get these in .nice flower fo^S^pwlR^ksgiving and Christmas there will be no trouble in disposing^of them. No matter whether you are planning to grow your plants in the greenhouse or in coldframes through the summer, it will pay to at least partially plunge them in fine coal ashes. Give them suf^cient space so that they will not crowd too soon. If you have good plants now in 3-inch pots you are all right, but just as soon as they need a shift, give it to them. Be sure that thrips and aphis are not allowed to cripple and disfigure the plants. If you do not care to smoke, give them a spraying once a week with Aphine or some of the nicotine extracts. Tuberous-rooted Begonias. Tuberous-rooted begonias are perhaps the most useful of all summer-flowering plants of a moderate size and as they are persistent bloomers, no florist can go far wrong in growing a good batch of them. As bedding plants their sphere is somewhat limited unless partial shade can be given them, although they succeed well in the open at sea- side resorts where the nights are cooler and the atmosphere softer than inland, but for piazza boxes or window boxes where shade can be given, for hanging baskets and for standing in groups on piazzas they are among the most valu- able of all flowering plants. Tubers are inexpensive and it is not too late even now to start a batch. These plants will start to bloom within a couple of months and will be found useful. Tuberous begonias want a cool, airy greenhouse and the shade must not be too heavy or it will make the plants drawn and soft. They are liable to be attacked by thrips in the early stages of growth and either a weekly fumigation or spraying must be given to keep it in check. When in active growth and well potbound, liquid ma- nure can be given twice a week with benefit. Sedalia, Mo.— The Archias Floral Co. reports an unusually busy season and the force under C. H.

Cost of Fuel in the Trade. Five years ago the coal salesman who got the greenhouse trade was the jolly good fellow. Today — and the flo- rists' contracts are each season better worth having — the man who brings home the bacon is the one who can tell the florist how to reduce his fuel bill and make it work out in practice. Is there any other industry in which fuel consumes so large a part of gross income f Perhaps! And if there is, that field is especially well worth the careful, serious, studious attention of the coal trade. Just how much coal goes under green- house boilers in a season nobody really knows, but it is so big that it seemed important to the United States Census Bureau to find out. However, the cen- sus people did not make out very well with floriculture; such of the figures as have been published have been sharply questioned by the trade author- ities, and the Census Bureau never has ventured to tell what it found out about fuel consumption. Of course the fuel consumption varies widely with the character of the coal and the tight- ness of the greenhouses. To a certain extent, also, it varies with the severity of the season, the character of the heat- ing apparatus and the ability of the man in charge. Nowadays, too, a great many greenhouse establishments oper- ate pumps, dynamos and refrigerating apparatus, adding something to the cost of fuel over what would be re- quired for warmth alone. Eighteen Founds to Foot. Taking the replies of a number of widely separated florists, burning va- rious kinds of fuel under various con- ditions, it appears that the average sea- son's consumption is about eighteen pounds of coal for each square foot of glass exposure. That is no rule of thumb, but it seems to be a fairly accu- rate general average and, curiously enough, the average seems to be ex- tremely close to the experience of the larger establishments of the middle west, where acres are under glass and where New River and Pocahontas coals are the favorite fuels. Now, eighteen pounds of coal of itself does not make a very big pile, but there are any number of greenhouse establishments through the United States that contain from a million to two million square feet of glass. He is not a very big florist who does not have 50,000 feet, and even the small- est florists burn two or three cars of coal a season. In Cook county, Illinois, alone there is over ten million feet of greenhouse glass! Just how many feet of glass there are in the greenhouses of the United States nobody knows. The cen- sus tried to find out, but hasn't pub- Thls article, In which the trade will be Inter- ested, appeared May 17 in The Black Diamond, a leading coal trade Journal. lished its findings. [In its issue of May 1, The Review published the cen- sus figures of area covered by glass in 1909, showing 105,165,730 square feet. — Ed.] Those in position to keep best in touch with such matters estimate that the greenhouse industrjr has just about tripled in size and in importance to the coal trade in the last fifteen years. The principal increase now by new people entering the field is in the west, though glass area still increases rapidly in the east and the bulk of those in the business still are in the section east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio. Heavy Cost of Cartage. Ten years ago the greenhouse trade entered a boom period — the florist did not care any more about the cost of fuel than he did about the price of the luncheon the coal salesman bought him when the florist came to town. But things are different now. While the industry still is growing rapidly — the mills that make a specialty of green- house structural material build millions of feet of greenhouses a year and in- crease their output every season — the old, happy-go-lucky methods no longer suffice. There is a good profit in the business — no one ever hears of a grower going bankrupt — but the old-time easy money is not there. Production has so nearly caught up with demand, at the big growing centers at least, that the good money depends on improving quality, maintaining production and keeping down the cost of operation. One of the ways of cutting cost of operation is of direct interest to the wholesale coal trade. The older green- houses were located just anywhere. Nowadays no one would think of start- ing a greenhouse range for growing cut flowers anywhere except beside a railroad, where a sidetrack is obtain- able, so that coal can be received in dump cars. As an instance of this, a big greenhouse plant near Chicago just now is removing at a cost of close to $100,000 from a location over half a mile from the railroad to one beside the railroad's right of way. The own- ers found that from a small beginning the cost of cartage had increased with the size of the plant until it amounted to $6,000 per year. Ooing After Business. Wages is the big item of cost in a greenhouse. It is a popular idea that flowers "just grow," but the fact is that good flowers in quantity can only be had at the cost of skilled labor, and lots of it. There are many greenhouses that carry 200 to 300 names on the payroll. Puel is the next biggest item of expense; also, it is the one in which the most important saving can be made. The grower cannot cut down his help without his income suffering, but if he Boiler Room of the J. W. Davis G>., Davenport, la.

The Florists' Review 23 can reduce his coal consumption he isn 't slow to adopt the apparatus that will do the trick. That's why the coal salesman who can give his customer in- telligent and disinterested advice in such matters makes so many firm friends among florists. The average coal man hasn 't paid niiich attention to the greenhouse trade. It's big business, but it's difficult to obtain by the methods used to get the factory trade. A few florists have city offices, where the buying and selling are done, but by far the greater num- ber of the big greenhouses are far from the main traveled road, out in the coun try, miles from where a coal salesman has any other customer. Out of sight is out of mind. Consequently the aver- a<,'e greenhouse buyer isn't drummed to death, the way the factory manager usually is, even though the greenhouse uses several times as much coal. Con- sequently the florist has the mail order habit. He buys practically all his sup- plies at a distance, by mail, so why not his coal? Interesting the Trade. As a matter of fact, those coal oper- ators and jobbers who have tried get- ting the greenhouse orders by mail have found it paid, directly and indi- rectly. Coal men are not advertising experts; coal is coal in so far as theii advertisements usually go, but most of them can put some selling talk into their letters when they learn of a new buyer who is in the market for, say, fifty cars, as his season 's supply. And the inquiries from the florists who wanted only two or three cars, for immediate shipment, have been valua ble. Even the inquiries from the one- car-at-a-time man are useful. Such a letter came in one day to a selling agent who had been trying to interest a retailer in the same town with the florist. The selling agent wrote for details and found the florist had little shed room and no cartage facilities but burned about three cars a season He then wrote to the best retail coal dealer in the town, whom he had never before been able to interest. He quoted the retailer a price and told him to go after the florist's order. The retailei got it, and when he ordered the car for the florist he ordered two cars more to go into stock. The retailer used ten cars of that coal that season. Probably there is no grade of fuel taken from the earth that isn't burned >n greenhouses, but the West Virginia smokeless coals have come to be more largely used in greenhouses, perhaps, than any others. It may be that these coals have been fortunate in having the assistance of a number of manu- facturers of grates, who have recom- mended the coal to go with the appa- ratus, but it seems that, if this is the case, the shoe would fit as well on the other foot and that all those in- terested in the sale of anthracite or western bituminous coals have to do to establish a big, permanent and steadily widening outlet for their product is to i^how the greenhouse man what appa- 'atus he needs to burn that special f^^'a^of coal at a saving over present Hegidar Delivery a Factor. The big greenhouse contracts usually are made early.

The man who uses only a few cars may take chances on the open market at a late date, but the big fel- lows cannot afford to.

IILBERT LEONAKD GRANT, thau whom few men have been more closely identified with the devel- opment of the florists' trade, especially during the years in which the industry was finding its footing, died Sunday, May 18, at Seabright sanitarium, Santa Cruz, Cal., following an opera- tion for appendicitis. Mr. Grant had for some years made his home at Overlook, near Sequel, Cal. He had enjoyed his usual health until the end of April, when an abdominal difiiculty of long standing became acute. Diagnosis was made by Dr. B. H. Bush as probably appendicitis, but some of the symptoms were obscure and he asked to have the advice of Dr. Emmet Eixford, professor of surgery at Leland Stanford University, the most noted surgeon in the state and one of the ablest in the country. Dr. Rixford was assisted by Dr. Rumwell, who came down from San Francisco with him, and by Dr. Bush. The presence of the ■distinguished surgeon excited no little interest among the medical fraternity of Santa Cruz and the operation was •witnessed by Dr. Piper, who gave the anesthetic; Dr. Bell, Dr. Congdon and Dr. I. C. Bush. It proved to be a pecu- liarly aggravated case of long standing, but the patient rallied strongly and quickly was considered out of danger. Indeed, his condition was so good that May 6, in a note to his business asso- ciates in Chicago, dictated to his daughter, he said: "Just a line to let you know I am getting along even bet- ter than the doctors anticipated; I ex- pect to be up and around again within two weeks from this date." May 8 he vrote with his own hand: "The operation has made a new man of me." His progress continued excellent until May 15, when complications developed that necessitated a second operation, which, in his weakened condition, was followed by dissolution, at 12:55 p. m. May 18, The descendant of Matthew Grant, one of the original company who came, in 1630, to Dorchester, in the Mary and John, Gilbert Leonard Grant was the son of Gilbert William Grant and Susan Lawton Grant, born at Jersey City, N. J., June 15, 1859. His father was a wholesale merchant in New York until 1861, in which year the fam- ily removed to Cleveland, O. Here the son received his education. He passed through the grammar grades, but was then obliged to go to work, as his father lost everything in the oil-r&fin- ing business during the period in which Mr. Rockefeller was putting into execu- tion his plans of "benevolent assimila- tion." He learned telegraph operating, but after a few years at the key drifted iato the florists' business. Seeking a larger field, ho removed to Chicago in 1883, and was engaged in the wholesale florists' business until 1885, when he became editor and manager of the American Florist, then being estab- lished. He continued in this connection for fourteen years, disposing of his in- terest in 1897 to organize the Florists' Publishing Co., and found The Florists' Review. He continued the president of the company and the editor and manager of the paper until his death, although from 1903 he gradually freed himself of the details of active work and had for several years made his home in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains overlooking Monterey bay, in California. As a publisher Mr. Grant became known in all the principal printing centers of the country. He was a pio- neer and leader in developing many of the processes now every-day matters in the trade. Some years ago, when Mr. Grant was stating his requirements as to presswork, binding and mailing to the head of an establishment doing that sort of work, he was told: "You are trying to get out a high-class maga- zine at daily-paper speed, and that's an impossibility. ' ' He didn 't believe it was impossible, and it proved not to be. Mr. Grant early saw the coming im- portance of the half-tone ehgraving, and was one of the first Chicago pub- lishers to use it freely. It was then necessary to send photographs to Phil- adelphia, there being no Chicago en- graver in a position to use the process. in view of the present almost univer- sal use of the half-tone plate it is in- teresting to recall that this was little over twenty years ago. As an editor his aim was to hold his course ever close to the commercial side of his subject, the main function of a trade paper, as he saw it, being to assist its readers in making two dollars grow where only one grew before, not only by the expan- sion of business but through the elimi- nation of waste and the thorough utilization of up-to-date methods. In 1892 he and William Falconer founded the publication Gardening, of which he continued as business manager from its inception until 1897, during which time it was the leading journal published in America for non-commer- cial gardeners and florists. In 1892 Mr. Grant became a member of the Chicago Publishers' Association, the name of which was afterward changed to the Chicago Trade Press Association. He was its vice presi- dent in 1893 and 1894 and its presi- dent in 1895. Mr. Grant took, in 1886, the initial step that led to the organization of the Chicago Florists' Club, serving as its secretary during the first four years of its existence. In 1890 he was placed in the chair, serving two terms, and was again its pi-eSrfdent from 1895 to 1898. In 1890 he was one of the found- ers of the Horticultural Society of Chi. cago and was its secretary in 1891 and an active member of its executive com- mittee continuously for many years. In the early days of flower shows in Chi- cago he was indefatigable and it has been said that it was largely due to his talent for the work that the exhi- bitions in Chicago soon became known as the largest and most successful flower shows held anywhere in America. While devoting so much of his time outside of business to the florists' and publishers' organizations he still found opportunity for equal activity in the affairs of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In 1883 he became a member of Phoenix Lodge No. 233, of Cleveland, transferring in 1884 to Excelsior Lodge No. 22, of Chicago. He became chief officer of the lodge in 1886. In 1885 he joined Chicago Encampment No. 10 of the Patriarchal branch of the I. 0. O. F. and was its chief officer in 1887. In 1889 he became a member of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. Almost from its inception Mr. Grant was a member and for many years an active participant in the affairs of the Society of American Florists. His name was added to the roll in 1887 and has been there continuously ever since. He attended every convention from 1887 to 1902, and most of those since, several times in the last ten years having made the journey from Califor- nia especially to attend the annual August gatherings. Another trade or- ganization in which he took special in- terest, and of which he has been a member since its inception, is the American Carnation Society. Mr. Grant 's last trip east was for the purpose of attending two conventions, in August, 1912. He came to Chicago as a California delegate to the first na- tional convention of the Progressive party and assisted in the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency. Keen interest as he took in that part of the work, it was second to the pleas- ure he derived in assisting in nominat- ing for the vice presidency his friend, Governor Hiram Johnson, who is at present so conspicuously in the public eye in the matter of the alien land bill in California. Gilbert Leonard Grant married at Cleveland, May 21, 1879, with Josephine Elizabeth Nichols, adopted daughter of Martin Van Buren Rose, her mother's brother, and known as May Louise Rose. She was born in a village called Tanner's Brook, in New Jersey, March 10, 1861. Her mother died when she was but 3 months old. Mr. and Mrs. Grant lived the happiest of home lives. They had six children: Maud Ethel, now the wife of Walter S. Miller, sec- retary and treasurer of the Florists' Publishing Co.; Alda Rose, who mar- lied Harold L. Graham, now living^ Han Diego, Cal.; Gilbert Walter, Pfo The Florists^ Review GILBERT LEONARD GRANT Born Jun* 15, 1859 Died May 18, 1913 26 The Florists^ Review Mat 22, 1913. died in the U. S. Beimingtou when that vessel was blown up in the harbor of San Diego July 21, 191)5; Bessie Mabel, now the wife of James Olive, a photog rapher in Santa Cruz, Cal.; Edwin Rob- ert and Helene, now living at Overlook with their mother. Most democratic of men, G. L. Grant occupied a place in the regard of those who knew him that neither time nor distance could affect. He was known as one who always could be counted on — everybody knew just where to find him. He was frank and direct in all his deal- ings. With him the first consideration was the right or wrong in a proposition. If a thin>; appeared to him to be wrong he would have nothing to do with it, and if it were right he would go ahead, doing cheerfully for right's sake what t-ome men would do grudgingly if at all. He was kindly, generous, thoughtful, tolerant. Inflexible of pur- pose, it was not his nature to quarrel with those whose attitude toward him- self was not as he would have liked it — rather, he went his way; his com- batiVeness was not aroused until he found right being disregarded — then he became adamant. Those of his busi- ness associates who came to kuow him best feel that humanity is the loser in his death, but that humanity is greatly the gainer from his having lived. AX .APPRECIATION. "We wish to express our high regard for the late Mr. Grant. Both Mr. Bassett and myself have known him well for the last twenty years and al- ways admired his many good qualities. He was a thoughtful man in every way; thoughtful of others, gentle of manner, and always kindly spoken. Of his ability we all'know and his knowl- edge of the flower business was won- derful. Last summer, when we were just starting to build at Gregg's Sta- tion, he came on a visit to us and, climbing up on top of a tall scafifold, he told what he would like to build there, as he surveyed the surrounding land with his eyes. His plan was quite similar to our own, but he had a num- ber of splendid features in it which we gladly adopted. He was enthusiastic as to his idea of a modern greenhouse establishment and showed he had a master mind, both as to details and in grand general plan. He was practical in everything. To those who knew him he was a most entertaining talker on all subjects, but especially on horticul- ture, for on that subject he was the best informed man we ever met. He was one of the foundation stones of the florists' trade and helped to build the trade to its present position more than any one man that we know of. His death is a great loss to us all and it is hard to express in words the feel- ing of sadness it has occasioned. O. P. Bassett, C. L. Washburn. OBITUAEY. William C. Strong. William C. Strong, for forty-eight years a resident of Waban, Mass., and for many years owner of an extensive nursery at Brighton, died in New York May 14, at the home of his son, 80 Morningside drive, where he had been living for the last year or two. Mr. Strong, who had been four times presi- dent of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, was a native of Hardwick, Vt., where he was born ninety years ago. He removed to Newton and established himself on a large farm when he was a young man. He was always an active member of the Newton Highlands Con- gregational church. He gave up busi- ness nearly fifteen years ago. His wife, who had been dead about two years, was a Miss Sarah J. Davis, of Newton. He leaves one son, Dr. Lawrence Strong, at whose home he died, and two daugh- ters. Misses Margaret Strong, of New York, and Isabel Strong, of Washing- ton, and a brother, Dr. E. E. Strong, of the American Board of Foreign Mis- sions. C. L. Doran. Charles L. Doran, at one time a prominent Sixth avenue florist, in New York, died May 15, aged 58 years. He retired from the trade to become a contractor in the employ of the city and was successful. J. A. S. BOSTON. The Market. For the middle of May cut flower business was good right through last week. Mothers' day gave the market a pretty good cleaning up and there is now no great surplus of anything. Roses are perhaps the slowest moving flowers on the list, but even on these the clean-up is fairly good. Of Amer- ican Beauty some nice flowers are com- ing in, not, however, in any great quantity. These sell well, thanks to the remarkably cool weather experi- enced for ten days. The quality of all roses continues remarkably good. In yellows Lady Hillingdon is now quite a favorite, coming next to Bulgarie in popularity. Carnations are still moving well. Of course there are some poor flowers which are hard to move, but good prices are obtainable for the bulk. Nearly all growers still seem to be somewhat oflf crop. Sweet peas are abundant. For the long-stemmed stock there is a good call, but a lot of poor flowers are hard to sell at any price. Dutch bulbous flow- ers are now limited to late tulips and Narcissus poeticus. Another week will finish these. Spanish iris and Gladiolua Peach Blossom and Blushing Bride are each abundant. There is an abundance of callas and lilies. There are too many antirrhinums. The demand is best for the pink shades. Yellow mar- guerites continue to have the prefer- ence over such whites as Mrs. Sander and Queen Alexandra. Double bache- lor 's buttons sell well and the quality is first-class. Gardenias are rather more plentiful and there is now a good sup- ply of Cattleya Mossiffi, with some gigas and Mendellii. Lily of the valley has been moving more slowly the last few days. For green stock there has been a tolerably good call. Business in bedding plants now is becoming quite active. The call for pansies, myosotis, daisies and gera- niums is the best. Club Meeting. There was an attendance of 150 at the club meeting May 20. Wilfred Wheeler, Concord, the new secretary to the state board of agriculture, gave an eminently practical talk on fruit culture, which was much appreciated, and a lively discussion followed. Sev- eral new members were elected. The field day at Madbury, N. H., on the next day. May 21, was referred to aud the president stated that an attendance of 150 and a special train were assured. A committee was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions on the death of William Robb, late head gardener at the Boston City hospital and a club member for many years. It was an- nounced that there would be the usual ladies' night, with an attractive pro- gram, at the June meeting. Three new members were elected. A letter of good cheer and some flowers were voted to John Barr, sick in Corey hos- pital. M. A. Patten & Co. were award- ed a report of highest merit for Car- nation Princess Dagmar on the exhi- bition table. Exhibition. There was an interesting and varied exhibition at Horticultural hall May 17. The Blue Hill Nurseries had a fine collection of named lilacs, also an as- sortment of hardy perennial flowers. The Breck-Robinson Co. received hon- orable mention for a group of ever- greens, rambler roses. Phlox Miss Lingard, rhododendrons and chrysan- themums, nicely arranged. Thomas T. Watt had a variety of orchid plants, also a number of cut spikes. Donald McKenzie, gardener to E. B. Dane, had a fine stand of cut orchids, also a group of the new French hydrangeas. William Thatcher, gar- dener to Mrs. J. L. Gardner, had vases of Clarkia Salmon Queen and Gladiolus nanus in variety. For six herbaceous calceolarias W. C. Rust, gardener to Mrs. C. G. Weld, won with fine specimens; second, Mrs. J. L. Gardner. A first-class certificate was awarded to Geo. F. Stuart for varieties of Calceolaria Stuarti, showing a con- siderable range of color. T. D. Hat- field, gardener to Walter Hunnewell, secured a first-class certificate for a group of a fine new deep yellow hardy azalea introduced by E. H. Wilson, shown under number. R. & J, Farquhar & Co. had an ex- tensive collection of Darwin and Cot- tage tulips, filling over 500 square feet of space, finely arranged. They re- ceived a bronze medal for these. A large table of the new Lilium myrio- phyllum, mostly in 3-inch pots, grown from bulbs the size of a filbert, and carrying one to three flowers each, was quite an attraction. They received honorable mention for Viola cornuta atropurpurea and primulas and a simi- lar award for Rehmannia hybrida and Clematis montana rubens. The plant of the last named in full bloom had been growing outside unprotected for three years. For forty-eight pansies M. Sullivan, gardener to W. Whitman, was first and J. L. Smith, gardener to A. W. Preston, second. For display of late tulips R. G, Chamberlain, gardener to Francis Skinner, won with a splendid lot, and A. W. Preston was second. For twelve varieties of Darwins and twelve varieties Cottage tulips, Mr. Chamber- lain won, showing fine flowers. A. W. Preston had a grand lot of Lilium candidum. W. Whitman showed a long table of late tulips and show pelargoniums. Mrs. J. L. Gardner had an excellent group of orchids tastefully arranged. W. C. Rust had a specimen Cattleya Mossiae, also standard hy- drangeas. Mrs. E. M. Gill had her usual nice display of miscellaneous flowers. In the vegetable classes there were May 22, 1913. The Florists^ Review 27 some good exhibits. Edward Parker, gardener to Oliyer Ames, was the most successful competitor, capturing five fii>r prizes. Various Notes. David Weir, for eighteen years super- intendent of the Brandegee estate, Brookline, retired May 17. Mr. Weir wa- one of the best known practical gardeners in the vicinity of Boston, and in his retirement, due to advancing years, will have the best wishes of a hosi of friends. He sails for Glasgow junr 7, and will stay abroad until Octo- bei. He has not visited Scotland for thiily-six years. On his return he will pay a visit to California and spend the winter there. Mr. Weir was given a iiandsome testimonial by the em- plovees on the Brandegee estate, most of whom had been with him many years. Charles Evans, of Watertown, is equipped for Memorial day with an excellent lot of Crimson Eambler and Dorothy Perkins roses and hydrangeas. A. A. Pembroke, of Beverly, one of our most successful carnation growers', will plant a large batch of the new white Matchless next season. He will try carrying over some of his plants a second year. Several local growers have had splendid success with this plan. Extensive improvements are to be carried out on the estate of Mrs. C. G. Weld, Brookline, where W. C. Rust has charge. A new English flower garden and an additional range of glass, 210 feet long, are included in the additions. A call on H. M. Bobinson & Co. showed this enterprising firm to be getting nicely settled in the new quar- ters. The four huge ice chests are all completed and everything will soon be in apple-pie order. The firm is pre- paring for an immense Memorial day trade. May 17 was tag day for the Frost hospital, Chelsea, 12,000 carnations be- ing sold on the streets in the morning for $2,000, and almost as many more in the afternoon. Lester H. Mann, of Mann Bros., has been on the sick list for a few days, but is on active duty again. S. J. Goddard finished planting out his carnations in the field May 19. He says his carnations have never yielded better returns than during the last season. Retail trade with him shows a steady increase. Welch Bros. Co. is looking for a great Memorial day business. In addi- tion to natural flowers, the company bas stocked up heavily on artificial floral designs, etc., for which there is an insistent demand. W. H. Tomlinson, of Dorchester, is busy these days disposing of dracsenas and hydrangeas. H. H. Bartsch, of the W. W. Edgar Co., says business could hardly be bet- ter. They have an immense stock of bedding plants, but the way orders are coming in shows that they will soon be cleaned out. George W. Ayer, of Reading, was still shipping double violets this week to the Boston Cooperative Market. He also has a fine lot of Spencer sweet peas. Charles Rapp, of Melrose Highlands, 18 cutting a nice crop of Cattleya M08SI8B. Perry Green, of Quincy, is at present a heavy shipper of pansies and Gla- diolus Blushing Bride. W. S. Phelps, of Marlboro, has had the market to himself for some time with hardy larkspurs. He also has fine snapdragons. Harry Quint, at 164 Tremont street, reports business up to date as good, with heavy call for Mothers' day. W. C. Strong, of Waban, who died May 15 in his ninetieth year, was prob- ably the oldest living member of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. He joined it in 1848 and served as pres- ident most ably from 1870 to 1874. He was for a long term of years one of the most active workers for the soci- ety's interest. For quite a number of years the deceased gentleman conducted a flourishing nursery business, making hardy roses a specialty. Up to the last year or two Mr. Strong regularly at- tended the exhibitions at Horticultural hall and took a keen interest in every- thing pertaining to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The Mishawum Flower Co., of Woburn, is at present a heavy shipper of spiraea and sweet peas to the Boston Cooperative Market. James Farquhar is at present busy on landscape contracts and has a large force of men at work on them. J. R. Shields, of Woburn, is shipping to the Boston Cooperative Market car- nations of splendid quality for the season. Thomas A. Cox, of Dorchester, is kept hustling these days supplying customers with rambler roses and hydrangeas. Robert Hutcheon, of Stoughton, has a splendid lot of ten weeks' stocks, spireea and carnations for Memorial day. New England has experienced a spell of unusually low temperatures for the middle of May. Killing frosts de- stroyed early crops in some sections. The temperature May 10 fell to as low as 20 degrees in parts of New Hamp- shire, lilacs and other shrubs in flower being completely spoiled. W. N. Craig. DENVER. The Market. Trade for Mothers' day»was entirely satisfactory, and while the demand was mostly for white carnations, in their absence other flowers and other colors sold well. Everyone is looking forward to a good Memorial day busi- ness. There is promise of a good cut of everything in the greenhouses, as well as some outdoor stock, such as snow- balls, German iris, peonies, etc. Lilacs, unless there are some late varieties, will be gone by the last of May, being in their height now. Ferns have been exceedingly scarce for the past month, those coming from the east being of poor quality and hard to dispose of when there is anything else to be had. Smilax is also scarce, and is almost impossible to get. Various Notes. The dance and card party given by the Colorado Florists' Club at Cotillion hall was a success socially. Mr. Forter and Mr. Schilling seemed to be busy every minute during the evening directing the program. At the last meeting of the Colorado Florists' Club a fine paper on "De- signing" was read by Frank Fraser. It was the means of starting a discus- sion, and that, together with the ques- tion box, made the meeting an interest- ing one. C. R. Root presided, with E. P. Neiman as secretary and E. S. Kennedy as treasurer. The store of the Colorado Seed & Nursery Co. is about the busiest place in town since spring business began. William Horlacher says he thinks he walks 1,000 miles a day. C. U. Fobn, in charge of the green- houses at Glen Eyrie, Colorado Springs, stopped off on his return from a trip to the Isle of Pines, where he is inter- ested in a 50-acre grapefruit and orange grove. Although many are complaining of a dull season, it is evidently not so with Emil Glauber. He has a new seven- passenger National automobile. A new store has been opened at 110 Broadway by Sandberg & Davis. N. E. De Golier, of Loveland, was in town on his way to Michigan to see his mother, who is ill. A fine new ice-box adds greatly to the attractiveness of the, store of the New York Floral Co. Some fine orchids are being shipped into Denver by S. Knudsen, of Boulder, Colo. Mr. Knudsen will go into the orchid business more extensively next year, having just received a large num- ber of plants, and he expects to be able to supply the flowers regularly. The two stores of A. C. Sinram have been discontinued, and the stock and fixtures are in possession of T. D. Long, who has been appointed trustee by the creditors. Mr. Long will dis- pose of everything to the best advan- tage, and the proceeds will be divided among the creditors. M. R. J. Brockton, Mass. — Robert Mclntyre, 114 Gladstone street, has built an ad(Ji- tion to his greenhouses. St. Marys, 0. — H. J. Vander Horst has completed a new greenhouse, 30x90 feet, using concrete construction. Corry, Pa. — A. W. Warren, proprietor of the Corry Floral Co., plans to build another greenhouse in order to extend his wholesale trade. Madison, N. J.— The Aphine Mfg. Co., which makes a general line of in- secticides for gardeners, is introduc- ing a new nicotine product on the mar- ket. It is called Nikotiana and con- tains twelve per cent nicotine. Atlanta, Ga. — Irving Gresham, who is connected with C. A. Dahl Floral Co., has leased the store and greenhouses of the West View Floral Co. Mr. Gresh- am will continue his connection with the Dahl concern, and also operate the West View Floral Co. This change in no way affects either concern, but will bring Mr. Gresham into both. Brunswick, Me. — Thomas Pegler, who came here a few months ago from Bos- ton, where he had sustained a break- down in health, has again suffered from the effects of overwork. He has been absent for some days, and did not let his friends know of his where- abouts, but he has returned to his home and his condition is improving. New Britain, Conn.— Mrs. Elizabeth K. Eggert was the victim of an em- ployee, George Esmond, according to her complaint to the police, whom she asked to arrest the man on the charge of stealing $50. She sent the man to the bank with money ai\d checks to de- posit, she says, and he neither went to the bank nor returned to her store. 28 The Florists' Review May 22, 1913.

Now for possibly the busiest week of all the year — the last week in May. The florist who gets a reputation for being prompt pay has a great advantage over the one who is known as being slow. The war of the roses is an ancient affair that promises to be completely outclassed by the modern war of the snapdragons. Nicotine extracts are not becoming any more plentiful, rather the reverse, and higher prices are predicted for in- secticides. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. The little Cecile Brunner roose has made a great hit as a corsage flower. It is popular on both coasts and, as travel- ers are flower buyers, or flower buyers are travelers, whichever you please, the call for Cecile Brunner is being heard in the best flower stores all over the coun- try. P. M. Koster, of Boskoop, Holland, horticultural commissioner to the ex- position from the Netherlands, was in San Francisco recently making ar- rangements for location of site and for its landscape treatment. He gave out a statement that the Netherlands pro- posed to make as large a horticultural display as any country ever had made at an exposition, and that in the Nether- lands section alone something like 500,- 000 bulbs will be planted. Right now every florist should take time to think over his financial situation. The man who sells at retail and gives credit will find his best customers leaving in June for their summer homes and if accounts are not settled within the next few weeks they will run until autumn. While some do it, few florists really can afford to carry their customers indefi- nitely; it makes the florist himself slow pay, if nothing worse. Of the numerous things that handicap the florists' busi- ness the evil of lax credits, slow collec- tions and bad debts is the most embar- rassing. SOCIETY OF AMEBIOAN FLORISTS.

Results have demonstrated that the wants of the trade are best satisfied by making them known through the columns of The Review. Like all otlier departments of the paper, that have worked a world of good for those using them, the department devoted to help and situations wanted, for sale, for rent and exchange propositions, as well as to business opportunities, is contin- ually getting in its good work for the trade, and The Review is constantly re- ceiving letters commending its far- reaching value. Every week The Review finds good positions for capable growers, mana- gers and sales people who seek new connections; it makes known the wants of wholesalers and retailers to capable people who want to better their posi- tions; it sells and rents greenhouses; it sells equipment that growers and others desire to dispose of; it effects ex- changes of property and equipment, and it puts good business opportunities squarely before the factors in the trade who are most likely to be interested. Below is the proof of the indispu- table statement that The Review is the medium to use to get what you want: You are still running our boiler ad. The boiler was sold on Monday following the first insertion. We are getting more letters than we have time to answer. Take It out quick. Enclosed find $1 for The Review for another year. — Constlen Bros., Upper Sandusky, 0., May 12, 1913. PREMIUMS OF NATIONAL SHOW. The cash premiums have all been awarded and distributed, as have also the silver cups so generously donated by different parties. Checks were mailed to the Rose, Car- nation, Sweet Pea and Gladiolus Soci- eties some two weeks ago. The committee is making this fact public at this time so that if any win- ner has not received his prizes in full, he will kindly communicate at once with the secretary, John Young, 54 West Twenty-eighth street. New York. The medals will be sent out as soon as they are received from the mint and a complete report of the show will be submitted to the S. A. F. at the con- vention in August. The flower show committee begs to publicly thank every individual and society that helped to contribute toward the success of this exhibition. Chas. H. Totty, Chairman. CHICAGO. The Ghreat Central Market. A more generous supply of stock h:i3 been on hand for the last few days and as a result prices have been somewhat easier than for the last three week.-^. Although there is hardly any oversuppl.^'. the wholesalers do not find it easy to obtain fancy prices and it has been the rule for the buyer to name the values on most lines. Both roses and carnations have increased in number and the latter have ceased to com- mand the figure that was the case ^ week ago, when the supply was not so abundant. Peonies also have taken a hand in the market and from now on the daily arrivals will affect the sale of other more staple stock. The quality and quantity improved with the last few days and excellent stock can be had at moderate prices. Almost any grade or color is to be had. Thus far May 22, 1918. The Florists^ Review 29 Large Supplies of MEMORIAL DAY STOCK T IS SO well known that Amling: flowers are unexcelled in quality and that Amlins: service is unapproached for promptness, care and accuracy that a constantly increasing number of buyers look to us for their holiday supplies. Amling prices always are right, but it is what you get rather than what you pay that is the measure of value. Order of Amiing and there will be no regrets. CARNATIONS Those who had Amiing carnations for Mothers' day will not fail to have Amiing carnations for Memorial day. A good many buyers who divided up their orders for Mothers' day will put the whole order in our hands for May 30. There are few sources of supply for the Amliog grade of carnations. PEONIES You know, and we know, that there is a lot of difference in peonies. Good peonies are about as profitable as anything a retail florist can handle for Memorial day, while poor peonies often are a dead loss, not to mention the disappointment. We do not handle miscellaneous consignments of peonies. Our supply comes from a few sources that have proved dependable and which have been steadily enlarged. You can bank on the quality of the peonies you get from Amiing. We believe we shall be able to fill every order for Memoiial day. SWEET PEAS There are no sweet peas to compare with our Butterflies, ply is by far the largest in the middle west. All colors. And our sup- We shall have fine crops of Roses in all varieties for Memorial day— probably shall run out of short roses, but can furnish medium to long in quantity. Unless the weather turns unseasonably hot the quality will be especially good this year, for there never were finer roses than those we now offer. We have a full line. LILIES SNAPS We can supply fine Easter Lilies in large quantity every day in the year. Prices always reasonable. Fancy long Snapdragon in all colors, but specially fine is the fancy pink— just the Eillarney shade. ' Hemorial Day Pri ce List ORCHIDS Per doa.

Vincennes is beginning this week and within a day or two the full flood will be on. Large sales are being made, for business is good, but quantities are going into cold storage for the holiday- trade; the select tight buds are being wrapped, packed and hauled to the re- frigerating plants to be brought back when the rush comes around in the clos- ing days of the month. In roses the Killarneys are showing evidence of better quality and the sup- ply is somewhat heavier than a week previous. White is not so abundant, but the pink is in good supply. Of Maryland the quantities are gradually becoming more noticeable with the ap- proach of warmer days. Richmond also is in fair supply, but there is some trouble in filling all the orders for the yellows, there being hardly enough to go around. Carnations are holding up well in quality and the demand seems to be strong enough to move them out without any great cut in prices. All colors are abundant and, with favorable weather for the next few days, the wholesalers hope that the crops will be on in full force for the Memorial day demand. Sweet peas are again arriving on the market in large numbers and, while the stems are not, as a rule, so long as here- tofore, the flowers are of good color and texture. The Spencers predominate. Other stock is in good supply and, al- though valley is in demand, there is plenty of the best grade to go around. Lilies can be had in numbers. Cattleyas are more plentiful, but not meeting much demand. Daisies sell well. Snap- dragon continues plentiful, but quality is deteriorating and demand has fallen off. Outdoor tulips sell well in limited quantities. Spanish iris is less plenti- ful. Small flowered gladioli are becom- ing abundant, but only a few America and King have come in. Greens are plentiful. Hunt Business Discontinued. One of the oldest concerns in the trade closed its doors Saturday, May 17, when T. T. Clark, receiver for E. H. Hunt, Inc., acting on the orders from the Superior court, brought the business to a final windup prior to issuing a statement of stock on hand, for which sealed bids will be received within the next few days. After thirty-five years of activity in the wholesale cut flower, florists' supplies and seed trade, the concern passes out of existence. About two months ago Mr. Clark was ap- pointed by Judge Dever to act in the capacity of receiver, to either put the business on a paying basis or close the WANTED Daily shipments of GOOD PEONIES Have an excellent market for choice shipping stock.

Fred Sperry, of the old firm of Vaughan & Sperry, now A. L. Vaughan & Co., has again gone into the whole- sale cut flower commission business. He has bought an interest in the Los Angeles Flower Market, at Los An- geles, where he has been located for some months. The other stockholder in the corporation also is a former Chi- cago florist, Charles E. Morton. The A. L. Randall Co. received the first copies of its new catalogue from the bindery May 19 and will soon have the entire edition ready for mailing. It is much the largest and most com- plete catalogue the house has thus far issued. A. Miller, A. T. Pyfer and N. P. Miller, who are the transportation com- mittee of the Cook County Florists^ Association, last week sent a circular letter to all members of the S. A.

An inspection of the Bowmanville ranges of J. A. Budlong leads Phil Schupp to think the crops will be hit- ting the high mark by Decoration day.

Peonies have cut a big figure with John Sinner during the last few days and he does not anticipate any shortage on this flower for some time to come. Ernest Farley, formerly connected with the Chicago market, has returned from a trip to the Pacific coast, where he found employment in the retail end of the business. M. C. Gunterberg found an excellent market for peonies last week, and the backwardness of the season in some sections has made it necessary to look for additional shippers. F. C. Hoerber, of Hoerber Bros., made a trip to Des Plaines this week and had a look at the crops and the plant where the storm caused damage the latter part of March. "Could hardly tell we had any trouble, as the three houses hit are now in good shape and the new concrete stack is progressing nicely, ' ' he reported. A. Henderson & Co. moved into new quarters this week, taking over a ground floor location on the Kiver street side of the building where they have been for the last year.

John Kruchten says the Festiva max- ima peonies he has received this week have sold on sight to city buyers at good prices. Bassett & Washburn report that out- of-town advance orders for Memorial day are unusually heavy on carnations. John F. Kidwell, president of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, is optimistic about the holiday supply and says the growers shipping to his house report excellent prospects. The American Importing Co. will add to its office force June 1 Max Trachman, who will have charge of the florists' supply department. Busi- ness continues good with this concern and with several additions to the line everybody is kept pretty busy. The Kaedlein Basket Co. reports hav- ing received several cases of new goods from the factories in Germany, but says the force has been too busy to «pen them. A new machine, ordered some time ago to make the linings for cut flower baskets, will be set up in the near future. The motor car which bas been out of commission has been put in shape to make a vigorous cam- vaign this summer among the local re- tail trade. NEW YORK. The Market. The last week was fairly satisfactory in the wholesale market, a shortening of supply towards its close making a general cleanup possible. Prices held firm at the quoted rates, with a slight improvement in some lines. The ap- proach of Memorial day will make any material concession from present quota- tions unlikely, and doubtless will steady and improve conditions until its observance has again become a memory. The present season compares favorably with other years at this time. The general supply of carnations during the week increased daily, and May 17 $2 per hundred for the best was the general quotation, and from this down to $10 per thousand to the large buyers.

Lilies seldom sold above 6 cents and 2 cents was top for valley. A lot of the outdoor- grown valley is seen. Peonies are com- ing fast and shipments are expected to be heavy before the week is over. The flood of lilac is at its height. This week will likely remove it from the market. It has fallen to 15 cents a bunch and is a drug. There is no limit to the sweet pea shipments, and most of the arrivals are excellent. Gardenias are below the average in quality and few in number. There are always plenty of daisies, stocks and mignonette. Gladioli seem out of sea- son and there is little call for them. Quite a number of shipping orders for cut flowers are being booked for Me- morial day.

The Florists' Review 39 The Right Display Is the Big Secret of Success In Your Business Maybe you've never looked at this Refrigerator question in its true light. Getting the right flowers is only half the battle. Selling is your big proposition. A McCray Refrigerator will play a vitally important part in getting your flowers into your customers' hands and getting their money into your cash drawer. Hundreds of florists have found this out to their steadily growing profit. They've found that in addition to saving them big money, the McCray has boomed business with a rush— by keeping the flowers in the beauty and fresh- ness of perfect condition— and by displaying them with the very limit of attractiveness. Write for our Catalogue No. 73, which gives all the facts— lots of useful information which you should have whether you're in the market now or not. Alexander McConnell of New York City, whose refrigerator [is shown in the cut, writes us as follows: "The refrlsrerator you InataUed In our place of business has been very satisfac- tory In every particular. The flowers retain their freshness and color. The refrlcerator is ventilated In so satisfactory a manner that the ^lass Is never covered with moisture; consequently the stock can be Inspected without openlnf; the doors.

The Rising Eastern Market. Peonies have commenced arriving from the near-by fields. The cool nights that we have had now and then, with a timely rain, bid fair to give good quality and plenty of blooms for Me- morial day. The market has fallen off a little during the week ending May 21, which is not to be wondered at, with Mothers' day a week past and Memorial day still a week away. In fact, when this week is compared with the corresponding week of previous seasons there is every reason to be satisfied. The crops have been heavy, but most of the stock that has reached the market in good condition has found buyers at prices that may be termed fair to middling. The difference be- tween well-grown stock that has had care and poorly-grown stock that has not is apparent at a glance and the latter has a hard time indeed in the crowded market. The features of the market outside of the all-important peony may be briefly described thus: Outdoor sweet peas have come; Cattleya gigas leads Cattleya Mossise; double cornflower has reinforced single and is fashion- able for boutonnieres; asparagus sprays are in brisk demand and rather short supply. There is an excellent out-of-town de- mand, from the south principally. Beau- ties, carnations of high grade, valley and a few other flowers are chiefly used. The sweet pea crops in that sec- tion are now at their height outdoors. Oirard College.

Cox, were in exquisite condition, the grass bright green, evenly trimmed, without a bare spot to mar its beauty. The weathei had not done so much for the beds as it had for the lawns. A beautiful bed of fancy geraniums had its luster dimmed by the rain, while many of the others plainly said that they would look a thousand times prettier in a fortnight. Then I shall hope to coax Mr. Cox to talk about his planting. Meanwhile I shall simply mention a pretty little bed over on one side that was formed with Ficus elastica, edged with the variegated anthericum; it was rich and pleasing, the silvery border looking like Pandanus Veitchii at a distance.

The late frosts hurt stock in some places, including many of the peonies, and considerable fruit is re- ported lost. The wholesalers are handling im- mense quantities of stock, such as peo- nies, double white narcissi, miniature gladioli and sweet peas. The large crop of roses and carnations has a tendency to keep down prices, and the firms are glad to clean up at any price. Beauties also suffered last week. The retail stores nearly all handle bedding plants and, though it is still early, there ' are many people who must get their beds planted even if they do suffer from the cold nights. As stock is cheaper in the cut flower line, there are more purchasers and large quantities are moved. The plantsmen are just as busy as they can be and the stock is selling at the same old figures, as there never seems to be any change in prices in the plant end of the game, except in the case of an occasional dealer who cuts his prices in order to clean up quickly, and it is doubtful whether that is good w Mat 22, 1913.

The McCallum Co. has had a small auto truck in use during the last vreek, to make the city deliveries, and it looks as if it would soon be necessary for everyone in the business to have a truck in order to keep up with the times. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., at Bakerstown, has let a contract to the King Construction Co. for three large soil sheds, built in somewhat the same style as a greenhouse. About a car- load of sheet iron will be required for covering. T. N. Barnesdale, of North Negley, has thrown his large grounds open to the public, that all may enjoy their beauty. There were thousands of vis- itors there last Sunday. W. J. Smith is cutting a handsome lot of sweet peas and gladioli at his place in Canfield, O. Strawberry growers report crops badly injured by frosts. Cherries and peaches also suffered. The late reports on Mothers' day were to the effect that it was a small Easter and much better than in any previous year. The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. reports last week a banner week for funeral work. Mr. Ludwig is getting the auto fever and will probably be the next to purchase a machine. The I. S. Crall Co., of Monongahela, reports trade as first-class. The firm's immense stock of bedding plants is moving out rapidly. The Florists' Club met Tuesday eve- ning, May 13, at the Carnegie Museum.

He made a spe- cialty of boxes of cut flowers, which sold for $1 and $1.50. He is doing a great deal of outdoor work, filling window boxes, planting beds, etc. "All sold out of white carnations," was what Osterman & Steele said on Saturday, May 10. They are showing some attractive baskets of sweet peas in water in their window. Len Morgan made a business trip to Cromwell, Conn., last week, to pur- chase stock from A. X. Pierson. James Irwin was confined to his home last week because of a trouble- some boil on his arm. N. F. Higgins had more funeral work for Mothers' day than regular business. William Schlatter is growing some fine baby gladioli. He made a business trip to Boston recently. T. F. Sheehan, of State street, did an elaborate decoration at the Audi- torium, May 12, for the ball of the Knights of Columbus. Palms, Amer- ican Beauties and Killarney roses were used. He also sold about 270 corsages for the same occasion. A. N, Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., is sending some good valley and baby gladioli to this market. J. W. Adams is more than busy with outdoor work. He received a large im- portation of bay trees last week. The flowers and plants used at the Worthy hotel are now furnished by M. Aitken. Mr. Aitken did a big busi- ness on Saturday, May 10. Since the Brainard Co., of Thomp- sonville. Conn., has gone out of the cut flower business, the Springfield florists are getting the trade from that town and Hazardville. The frost of May 12 was quite heavy, but did not do any serious damage to early plants and flowers. The Smith College garden party and dance brought some business to this city in the way of corsages, etc. Matinee corsages, made up of rose- buds, forget-me-nots, sweet peas, etc., are finding favor with the public here.

The Southwestern Market. The business reported for last week, both wholesale and retail, was large almost daily, but the great quantity of stock consigned to this market dur- ing the week was too much for the demand to consume in any one day. The prices have gone down to what they were just before the raise for Mothers' day. The top price for car- nations was 2 cents in hundred lots. In these the market affords an abundance of stock in all grades, with the quality excellent. Enchantress in all its va- rieties has the best call. Roses are quite plentiful and the prices reach to about 8 cents for choice, with the lower grades from 1 to 4 cents. Kil- larneys are in the majority at any of the wholesale markets, with Richmonds next. Beauties have been coming in well, with a fairly good demand at any time. Callas and Easter lilies sold well last week and the supply is large and of good quality. Sweet peas are also plentiful. The big shipments that came in daily could hardly be cleaned out in any one day. The prices were quite reasonable. Peonies are coming in heavily and will be at their height by the end of this week. Cape jasmines from Texas are arriving in good shape and meet with a good demand. Shasta daisies are becoming too numerous and are down to $1 per hundred. The yellow ones, The Flower Shop 813 E.

Frank Windier celebrated his twen- ty-third birthday May 18, passing out good cigars.

The Prank Wild Floral Co., of Sar- coxie, Mo., is shipping to this market a lot of cut peonies of extra fine quality, which find a good demand. The working force at George Anger- mueller's put in a busy week attending to the demands of both shipping and local orders for cut flowers and sup- plies. Henry Ostertag, proprietor of the House of Flowers, says business last week taxed his working force to the limit, with weddings, funeral work and decorations. The seedsmen say they have had an extra busy season so far. The St. Louis Seed Co. and the Schisler-Cor- neli Seed Co. have had an extra force of clerks to handle the counter trade. They say the prospects are good for a large representation of our local seeds- men at the convention of the American Seed Trade Association at Cleveland, O., June 24 to 26. Julius Schaeflfer, at 318 North Kings- highway, reports a splendid lot of busi- ness during the month in all kinds of work. Otto Sander, at Delmar boulevard and Kingshighway, says his business shows an increase this month in wed- ding work, and a nice lot of box trade. The trustees of the Florists' Club, Messrs.

Y. his eight houses, which are entirely separate, may be utilized for rose plants in small pots. The new houses contain ground benches only, on which the planting of stock roses for propa- gating purposes was recently com- pleted. Mr. Doyle will depart from the usual custom of growers in this local- ity, in that he proposes to keep the same plants on these benches for two, and in some cases perhaps three years, allowing them to freeze solidly during the winter months. By this plan it is evident that an extra early crop of propagating wood will be secured and the only problem remaining will be to take care of the cuttings. The out- come of the experiment will be watched with interest by other growers here. The output of these houses is con- tracted for by a mail order catalogue florist. Preparatory to the erection of two new houses by the Leedle Floral Co., the story-and-a-half shed has been ex- tended 20x45 and a new office, 20x20, has been connected. The shed walls for five feet above the foundation and the office walls to the full height are built of 6-inch and 8-inch Natco hol- low building tile, which will be stuc- coed. The south wall for a height of three feet above the foundation is built of the same material, with 12- inch pilasters reinforced with pipe and concrete, eight feet apart. This makes a wall far superior to solid concrete.

The patient is recovering nicely and expects to resume his duties at the office in the course of a few weeks. ONION BOOM OVER? Eepresentatives of the Southern Texas Truck Growers' Association are making strenuous efforts to sidetrack threatened disaster in the marketing of their products and, especially, their crops of Bermuda onions. In conse- quence of congested conditions in the larger distributing centers, both appeals and orders have been issued to growers to discontinue shipments until the sup- plies in the big city markets can be reduced. The prices at which these Texas onions have been selling have so far barely reimbursed growers for their actual cash outlay in production. Prof- its on some shipments have been stead- ily offset by losses in others, and a few days ago the general situation threat- ened a loss on every crate that might go forward. At the New York office of the asso- ciation it is reported that approximately 2,000 cars of onions liad been shipped from the current crop, and it is esti- mated that there are about 2,.S00 more cars to dispose of. The total commer- cial crop may not amount to as much as 4,300 cars, for in addition to halting shipments as a regulative market meas- ure, there is a tendency on the part of growers to ship only the very best selec- tions in their crops. W. V. Tadlock, eastern manager, sa^'s that one trouble with the industry is that it is overdone. Following its inauguration in Texas there were, for the first two or three seasons, reports of abnormal profits, and these reports were true, but for only a few growers of small quantities. With these for a basis of operation, real estate men and land boomers got busy and in a comparatively short time there was an onion land craze, all of which helped to bring about such con- ditions as now have to be dealt with. The demand for seed of the Bermuda onion is likely to be much smaller in the approaching season. BELIilNOHAM BULB TESTS. That Bellingham bulbs are the best in the world is the substance of a re- port which will be published this sum- mer by the Department of Agriculture as the result of five jears of compara- tive tests which have been conducted, according to the Bellingham corre- spondent of the New York Times. The report will make a book of 150 pages. Peter Bissett, an attache of the de- partment at Washington, who paid a five days' visit to Bellingham, is quot- ed in an interview with the Times man, as follows: "The success of the Bellingham bulb is a.ssured.

Last year we were satis- fied by the showing of several addi- tional species, and this year's experi- ence cleared up all doubts on all varie- ties. "One florist of the state of New ^ork. after growing groups of Belling- •lam bulbs alongside Holland bulbs, has made the statement that the raising ot the Whatcom county product in pref- erence to the imported will result in '*i saving of hundreds of tons of coal I'er year. How? ' ' Let us first consider how these testa 'lave been made. "Several hundred bulbs, represent- ing nearly every variety grown in the l^ellingham garden, were shipped to Washington, D. C. These bulbs, in lots of fifty of each variety, were distrib- uted to three government greenhouses !ind three private greenhouses in New Vork and Massachusetts. In each in- stance the man in charge of the green- house was directed to plant the Belling- ham bulbs beside an equal number of Holland bulbs of the same varieties.

BUSY TIME but it won't take you long to sow a few flats of Silver Pink Snapdragon seed. They will be ready for potting after the rush is over and you soon will have a lot of nice plants for fall and winter blossoms, with little effort and a very small expense. GROW SNAPDRAGON grow a good one and grow it well, remembering that my ORIGINAL SILVER PINK is the pioneer commercial variety and heads the list for color and habit of growth. Nothing in sight to equal it. Price of seed, my own growing, $1.00 per pkt. of over 500 seeds; 3 pkts., f -'.60, cash. Plenty of potted plants, July and August delivery. G. S. RAMSBURG, Somersworth, N. H. Mention The Review when you write. Of course, soil aud climate and every other condition were identical. "When the first bit of green showed above the surface the bed was photo- graphed, the exact day and hour noted, and affidavit made that the photograph was a picture of a certain bed. Day by day these beds were photographed, the nature and character of the foliage were noted and the hour was recorded when each flower spike made its ap- pearance. "As compared with the best Holland bulbs, the Bellingham bulbs bloomed seven to ten days earlier and showed a superiority in bloom, texture ana color of ten to twenty-five per cent. ' ' Now you can see where the hun- dreds of tons of coal saved come in. A typical greenhouse man in New York will force hundreds of thousands of bulbs in a season for the cut flower trade. Multiply the advantage of seven to ten days' earlier bloom and you can see that the saving to the florist will be enormous. In the final analysis. quality being equal, the Bellingham bulb will prove a great money-maker for the owner. "The future of the bulb industry in Whatcom county is assured. There are many districts in the county where, in my judgment, the bulb may be grown to perfection. "The book of bulb results which the government will publish will be pro- fusely illustrated and will tell of the history of bulb culture in this district, beginning with the first experiments attempted by George Gibbs, of Clear- brook, the father of bulb culture here- abouts. "These books will be in great de- mand, particularly when it is known that this volume will be the first au- thoritative work on bulb growing. The Hollanders have never reduced to writ- ing the secrets of their processes, and what few books have been printed on the subject have come from parts of the world where bulb culture has not been successful." ST. PAUL. MINN. The Market. Business last week was hardly up to the standard, owing to an almost inces- sant rainfall. The planting of outdoor stock has just begun and all florists are kept busy in that way.

LANGPORT, ENGLAND s*.^ May 22, 1913. The Florists^ Review 63 The Reai Joy in Life is a Difficulty Overcome The events of 1913 so far have given a severe test to everyone to overcome difficulties. Scarcely one spot in the whole United States has escaped the effects of a calamity of one nature or another, although it does not mean we are defeated; redoubled energy, perseverance and courage will bring us to a higher point of victory. I feel quite "manly" myself since overcoming some mighty big obstacles all alone, and I am determined to go in deeper and broader and wade around for some more hard knocks, likewise the profits. For the benefit of belated buyers and orders, also myself, I offer a few items. Calla lily, California grown, $8.50, $10.00 and $12.00 per 100. Freesia Refracta Alba, best quality, $6.50, $8.50 and $10.00 per 100. Lilium Candidum, French and Home Grown, $5.50 and $6.50 per 100.

Spiraea Gladstone, large clumps, Chicago delivery, $8.50 per 100; New York and Philadelphia delivery, $8.00 per 100 ; Cincinnati delivery, $10.50 per 100. Giganteum lilies, now in storage, $8.00 per 100; $20.50 per 300 case. Do you ever stop and figure how much money you could save if you tried? Have you added the freight, duty and broker- age charges you pay, to your gained invoice value, and realized you have gained nothing in your quality or price and you pay 60% and often 1« 0% for such charges, before you have the privilege of even looking at your goods I It is well worth thinking about, but better to act on. Florists work too hard for their money to overlook the money leaks. It takes an Importer to import, and a pretty keen one at that, and it usually pays the Florist to buy through an importer. I have learned where the big leaks come in, after having for nine years charge of shipments through from points in Europe to Cincinnati. The knowledge was not easily gained but it is certainly well worth having. It is getting a little late for some of the above items, and putting off or forgetting usually brings disappoint "'^"* M. M.

Stock has cleaned up much better since last writing and trade has im- proved considerably. While the signs offering cheap carnations still adorn the doorway florists' stands, they are not so frequently seen. Spanish irises have been particularly good this season. The outdoor roses are not so plentiful as a week ago, even the ubiquitous Cochets coming in smaller numbers. Indoor roses are not so plentiful as they were, but no one is complaining of the scarcity. Various Notes. Albert Knopf and wife returned from their silver wedding trip a few days ago and Mr. Knopf says he never had a more enjoyable time. Automobiling among the orange blossons so delighted him with this means of locomotion that he has ordered a new Ford with all latest improvements. I was unable to visit Howard & Smith's nursery until the hippeastrums were a little past their best, but enough were in bloom to shew the quality of the strain, which ibv superb. Several new plantings have peen made this year, greatly increasing the number grown. The young stodk of all classes of plants for catalogue trade is in fine order. At the new trial grounds of the Ger- main Seed & Plant Co., on the Whittier Toad, things are beginning to take shape and large numbers of plants are being shipped to the store. A large series of seed trials is under way, which will be interesting later. Advance or- ders appear to foreshadow a big season in bulbs and import stock generally. Fred Sperry, lately of Chicago, has purchased an interest in the Los An- geles Flower Market, he and Charles E. Morton now being the sole stockholders in the corporation. Mr, Sperry is a great acquisition to the flower busi- ness here, his experience going back a number of years. For the eight years previous to his arrival in Los Angeles he was in partnership with A. L. Vaughan, the firm being known as Vaughan & Sperry. Since coming here he has been engaged in the real estate and insurance business, but evidently cannot break away from old associa- tions. H. N. Gage, of the H. N. Gage Co., has been sick for several days, but is again at his post in the store. The windows at the Morris Goldenson store have been finely decorated with baskets of flowers prettily arranged, the sweet pea baskets being particularly fine. The Freeman-Lewis Co. reports fine business, notwithstanding the general flatness, several good wedding orders helping out materially. An immense onyx vase, said to be decidedly valu- able, has been ornamenting the win- dow for some time, with various flow- ers. Filled with Festive maxima peo- nies it was particularly attractive. A. M. Bird, of the South End Seed Store, has moved farther south, to 3784 Moneta avenue, where he has a much improved location. H. Plath, of San Francisco, has been in town a few days on his way home from San Diego, where he reports hav- ing an enjoyable time. He has been making calls on the trade here, renew- ing old friendships and making new ones, as he does easily. He was accom- panied by his two daughters. Several good dinner decorations have kept the staff at J. W. Wolters' busy. Fine gardenias continue to be shown at Wright's Flower Shop. H. E. Richards. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. The weather could not be more fa- vorable to all kinds of flowers. We have had no hot days for the last month, and whatever heat there was has been tempered most beautifully by a few pleasant showers. Spanish iris is the most showy of the seasonable flowers now. The ruling prices, how- ever, are low and it is doubtful whether manj' of the growers will handle them extensively next season. Sweet peas, though not so plentiful as in former years, are in sufficient quantity to fill all requirements. The warm, dry weather earlier in the season has had the effect of shortening the crop and it is only in places where there is plenty of artificial moisture that they are really good. The smaller sorts of gladioli are daily becoming more plen- tiful and another week will see them at their best, but the larger varieties will not be in full bloom until next month. It is evident that there will be a good Memorial day trade in the ship ping line this year, as the unusual dryness of the season has had the ef- fect of lessening the, quantity of flow- ers in the country. Mothers' day was quite a success. Many of the stores had appropriate window displays, with seasonable flowers, and it is evident that the idea takes splendidly with the public. The demand was heaviest for white carnations, though pink and red sorts also sold well. The day has come to stay and another season should make a big showing. Various Notes. J. H.

The California Retail Florists' Asso- ciation held its regular monthly meet- ing on the evening of May 12, at Na- tive Sons' hall. Oscar Prager, landscape expert for the city of Oakland, departed on a three months' European trip May 15. George C. Roeding, on account of the pressure of his private interests, has resigned as horticultural director of the Panama-Pacific Exposition. SEATlillf WASH. The Market. Mothers' day opened the eyes of the florists as to the possibilities of this anniversary. The demand for flowers was unprecedented and, unfortunately, there was not nearly enough stock to meet it. Carnations were at a premium tor days before and on Saturday eve- ning not one could be procured. Most of the growers are off crop, which partly accounted for the shortage, but the unprecedented demand was the "lain cause. Efforts were made to secure flowers from California, but in most cases they arrived in such a condition as to be unsalable. The May-flowering tulips were the only flowers of which there was any abundance and they, for lack of anything else, mot with a good sale. To add to the general shortage on Saturday and Sunday, there were several large funerals and all the stores were busy with design work. The late Easter lilies came in advantageously at this pinch and it is seldom so many de- signs were put up without a carnation '""'.S'^> YOUNG ROSE STOCK including our famous Prima Donna.

The sales of bedding plants continue brisk and good geraniums are none too plentiful. Various Notes. The King County Fair Association is offering prizes of $75, $50 and $25 to florists for a display of flowers at the fair at the Meadows in September. Andrew Matthiesen has been on the sick list for the last two weeks, suffer- ing from a painful affliction in his throat. At last accounts he was able to resume his work, Bisdon & Son have profited by the good prices for cucumbers. They com- menced cutting early and got the top df the market. Other growers are now busy shipping and the price for first grade continues good. Thomas Wylie has been appointed a delegate to the convention of the Order of Scottish Clans, which takes place in Philadelphia at the same time as the Florists' convention in Minneapolis. A suggestion has been made to change the date of the latter in order to allow his visit including both conventions. Will the S. A. F, kindly take notice? Several of the local florists are plan- ning going east to the convention in August. No doubt they will have the time of their lives. T. W. PORTLAND, OEE. The Market. With a demand equal to the supply, there is a daily clean-up of the market. There is a considerable demand from out-of-town florists, showing a shortage elsewhere, or an increased demand, as the case may be. The stock on the market is of a better grade than is usually offered, therefore commanding a prime price. With the increase of sunshine, Beauties have produced an excellent cut daily. Maids, Bichmonds, Killarneys and Gates also have shown an improvement. Carnations are exceedingly good property and firm prices are maintained. In the miscellaneous line there is a variety, including snapdragon, iris, tulips and mignonette. Violets are entirely out of the market. Orchids, valley and sweet peas enjoy the usual demand. Greens, such as asparagus and maidenhair ferns, are more plentiful. The first peonies were displayed in the windows last week, but the crop in general is late, it being quite doubtful if they will be out in time for Memo- rial day. Various Notes. About fifty members of the Florists' Club accepted the invitation of the Oregon Agricultural College, at Cor- vallis, to attend the alumni home com- ing day. May 15. They were enter- tained royally and spent the day in inspecting the various departments. A sumptuous banquet was served the vis- itors in the evening by President Kerr. The regular meeting of the Florists' Club, May 12, was largely attended. There was considerable business before the house for discussion. Publicity and a wider scope of representation in this column were urged. This is a step in the right direction, and with the assistance of the club and growers at large this object can easily be achieved. The scribe always is glad to get the facts.

Oregon and Wash- ington will hold a get-together session June 16, to arrange for welcoming and entertaining the visitors. This is an opportunity well worth taking advan- tage of, to visit this part of the country at this particular time, when every- thing is in its glory. On. behalf of the nurserymen and florists, a cordial invitation is extended to all. A de- lightful trip up the Columbia river, also a trolley trip to Orenco, as guests of the Oregon Nursery Co., are included in the program. Attention is also called to the rose festival, which will be held here June 9 to 14; this event is well worth seeing. Wherever possible it would be well to come early and be here for each occasion. Chas. Waltie, a gardener at Eiver- view cemetery, was severely stabbed by a holdup man and relieved of his money. After having his wounds dressed, he was able to leave the hos- pital. Max Smith has a big batch of myo- sotis in pots. He says they move well and at a good price. Running special window decorations this energetic firm believes is the best advertising. E. R. Chappell.

The local florists are having consid- erable trouble with the peony crop, due to disease and to the heavy frost of May 12. Except for one other year, there has never been experienced so dis- astrous a frost at so late a date. The mild winter and spring materially ad- vanced all outdoor flowering plants and shrubs and these were truly "nipped in the bud." As a result of the March and May frosts .the supply of peonies, as an example, is short, the stock is of poor quality and prices are higher than they would otherwise be. Thrips is ruining the American Beauty crop; one of the largest growers stated that it would be worth $25 per day to his firm for the next few weeks if this little pest could be cleared out of the houses. Eoses and carnations, on account of the warm weather early in May, bloomed off, with the result that there is a good demand for good stock at fair prices. This is considered to be for roses from $4 to $15 per hundred and from $2 to $4 for carnations. Some fine gladioli are to be seen. Of the novelties, there is a small quantity of salpiglossis in its many colors, which is being snapped up soon after being placed on display. Various Notes. Walter Von Hengle has severed his connection with Z. D. Blackistone, while Henry Lauscher has returned to his old position there. Mr. Lauscher has given up his place in Lynchburg, Va. Irving Gresham, of the Dahl Co., Atlanta, Ga., was one of the week's visitors, coming here on his return from a visit to New York and Philadel- phia. C. L. L. Greenville, S.

Club Meeting. The New Orleans Horticultural Soci- ety held its monthly meeting at the Association of Commerce building on »t. Charles street, May 15, with Presi- dent Herman Doescher in the chair, Secretary C. E. Panter at his desk and about twenty members present. The greater part of the session was taken up with routine work. The annual out- ing of the society will take place during July and the following committee was appointed to select a suitable place near the city, to give each and every mem- ber and invited guests a chance to take part in it: C. E. Panter, Paul Abele, Dan Newsham. They were instructed to make a report at the next meeting, in June. The orchid exhibit of J. A. Newsham was considered the largest and finest ever seen here. It consisted of twenty- five varieties, among them several new and rare specimens. The highest praise was bestowed upon Mr. Newsham for this rare treat, which helped in a great measure to make the meeting an inter- esting one. Various Notes. Judging from the reports of some of our leading retailers. Mothers' day was observed more generally this year than at any time previously. The florists advertised it and at most of the schools the children were requested to wear a white carnation or rose on that day, U. J. Virgin was awarded the con- tract to beautify the large Elks' place in front of the home of the B. P. O. E. in this city. The work has been started and in a comparatively short time a miniature park will grace the business district of the Crescent City. • Frank Brocker, head gardener at the City park, had this recreation place ready for its opening day of the sum- mer season. May 18, in elegant shape. Large groups of foliage and flowering plants, also huge specimens of various nephrolepis underneath the many cen- tury oaks, add much to the natural beauty of the park, which is considered the most picturesque in the south. Frank J. Eeyes & Co. continue to (io a good business, both in the cut flower and plant line. The new show house in the rear of the store has helped to double the plant sales. Louis Buchner, formerly of Buchner & Kraak, is located in New Iberia, La. This city, as well as the surrounding towns, is without many florists and he should make good at the new place. E. E.

Young has opened his store again at 37 East Fifth street. The store was badly demolished by the re- cent flood, making it necessary to have an entire new front put in the building. W. J. Engle, who has a large vine- yard, lost all of his grapes by the heavy frost of May 11. William Boehner, son of John Boeh- ner, one of Dayton's leading florists, and Mary L. Staddon, of Clayton, O., were married last week, E. E. Schaefer, of the Advance Floral Co., has on display some extra fine cattleyas. Mr. Schaefer is doing a splendid business, especially in the plant line. As the different business men re- opened their stores after the flood, some decidedly original signs appeared over their doors. One of these signs was that of W. G. Matthews, which read, "Matthews, open for business. Flowers for other occasions besides funerals. ' ' A heavy and killing frost did an im- mense amount of damage May 11 in all parts of the Miami valley. The advance growth of truck gardens was killed, grapes were blackened and even the leaves were destroyed as by fire, being shriveled and in many cases entirely consumed. All sorts of early rose growths were destroyed, and cherries in many exposed places were nipped to such an extent that they fell like rain from the trees. Many of the large growers of tomatoes in this vicinity had set out all their plants and these were entirely blackened by the frost. The weather, however, being a little cool, is holding the peonies back, so that they will just strike it right for Decoration day. Trade continues to be encouraging and everyone seems satisfied. Among the visitors last week was I. Bayersdorfer, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. R. A. L. "NEW GEUM" 1913 Gewn Coccineum Mrs. J. Bradshaw This is one of the finest plants of recent introduction. It will put quite into the background all the Geums at present found in gardens. This fine variety pro- duces very large flowers, 2 inches or more across, semi-double, and with plenty of substance in them, of the most brilliant scarlet. They are produced on long wiry stems, and continuously from June to October. For cutting and border decora- tion it is very hard to beat, and no doubt it will figure conspicuously on the show table in future.

GERANIUMS Some growers depend on the culls left after the bedding season is over for their propagating stock. The wise grower uses the best plants he can get for that purpose. Young plants propagated for that purpose are the best. We have a few thousands of just that kind, of the following varieties:— Marvel, the best deep red; S. A. Nutt, deep red; Decorator, the best orange scarlet; A. Ricard, orange scarlet; Bte. de Poitevine, salmon.

The last week has been a busy one. Stock was cleaned up so closely on Mothers' day that it took several days for the market to right itself. Stock is coming in heavily and the demand is strong. The opening of the Leader- News building, with its floor after floor of offices, has taken a great deal of the better grades of flowers. Sev- eral large receptions and funerals helped to clean up. Various Notes. The J. M. Gasser Co. had the deco- rations for the Stevenson-Burke affair May 15. A large tent was used, in which were tables to serve 400 guests. Boxwood, bay trees, evergreens and wild cherry trees were used to make the garden effect. It was by far the largest affair of its kind seen here for some time, and Mr. Sehoen, of the Euclid avenue store of the Gasser Co., received many words of praise on the artistic arrangement of the settings. The house was handsomely decorated with large vases of Beauties, gladioli and dogwood. Wm. Stadie, gardener for W. P. Mur- ray, was unfortunate in losing quite a lot of hydrangeas and other decorative plants during the heavy frost of last week. The committee appointed by the Flo- rists' Club to distribute plants to losers in the flood has finished its work. They report over three dozen boxes of plants distributed among eight florists. John Blechschidt, Leonard Utzinger and William Warnke are the committee appointed by President Graham to pro- vide entertainment at the next two meetings of the Florists' Club, June 9 and July 14. You had better attend the meeting June 9, or you might miss something. The Ohio Horticultural Society will hold its second flower show in Gray's armory, June 12 to 14, 1913. As it will hold the show in conjunc- tion with the American Peony Society's annual exhibition, the managers expect to crowd the armory to the doors. There are prizes for amateurs and profes- sionals, both for outdoor and indoor stock. If you have not received a premium list, drop a card to John Stockwell, secretary, Room 218, City Hall, Cleveland. This show is bound to be a good advertiser for the trade. Boost it all you can. Tell your custom- ers to see it. The American Peony Society always puts up a wonderful dis- play of blooms. Ben Feldner, of the Roseville Pottery, was a recent caller. F. A. F.

Oscar Schultz has been in charge of the planting of shrubs, trees and a hedge about the grounds of St. Augus- tine's church. Karl Kammann, of Kammann & Crowley, New York, has completed his visit to this city, where he purchased plants for the new roof garden that the firm is laying out on Forty-second street. New York. The June exhibition of the Newport Garden Association and the Newport Horticultural Society will be held at Harbour Court, June 25 and 26. The entries are being made in a manner that is encouraging to those in charge. William Jurgens was a visitor in New York last week on business. W. H. M. Portland, Me. — Frank L. Minott sus- tained a fracture of his right arm May 5, while attempting to crank his car. The injury was dressed at a hospital, after which the florist was taken home, but he was out next day directing his business. New Orleans, La. — P. A. Chopin, in business at Washington and State ave- nues, has made up his mind that check flashers will not put anything over on him. After an exciting chase, which involved a street car ride, public accu- sation after overtaking the man, a walk and a talk in which the man with the money threw the florist off his guard, and then a dash for liberty in which the former outran the latter, the alleged forger was arrested by a city fireman. He is William Barton and claimed to be a relative of one of Mr. Chopin's customers.
