Quite the contrary, it's the time to arrange a special display that will make your window the talk of the town. And it's inexpensively done; it calls for more ingenuity than material. All one needs is a window pan for running water, a windmill or water wheel turned by a motor, some green sheet moss, some turtles or ducklings, a few ferns and a little skill in working out an idea. It's worth trying, if for no other ijeason than that there is time now to test the adver- tising value of. a win- dow, display that is out of tine ordinary. Advertising Value. The value of good window decoration as an advertising'force-isover- . looked: by too rmitnyf r^ tail florists. They make a show of plants Or cut flowers to tell the pass- ers-by that a florist oc- cupies the shop, but, be- yond placing these in the window, they trouble themselves no , m*o r e . about it. They- do not realize that the window may be made the most valuable space in/ the store. It is really a part : of the capital which they have invested in the • business, yet they fail to : make it yield the largest ' possible interest. ' If such a' florist had a store' for • sale, he -would not sell it on the flrst offer but would try to get the largest ■ sum that he could for it. Had he money to lend, he would not accept one per ' cent a year for it! But here is valuable proi)erty, ^this .window space, that is not bringing the income it should. For local a,dvertisement there is noth- ing better than a show window attract- ively arranged. Every passer-by is a possible buyer. When a person comes into the shop and inquires about flowers, the florist uses every effort to persuade him to buy. He feels that he has lost a customer, if the visitor departs with- out buying. Many people, however, pass the florist's place of business, who buy flowers, yet he makes no effort, through attractive window decorations, to per- suade them to buy their flowers there. The full advertising power of a window is often only brought home by actual experiment. There is a small retail store in Chicago which formerly did but little business because another store a block away, in a more favorable loca- tion, at the intersection of two car lines, drew most of the trade of the neighbor- hood. A man , bought the store who was not willing to give up so much of the trade to his competitor, and by means of novel window decorations fi- nally gained the greater part of the business in the vicinity. A Few Principles. Window decorating, of course, is a trade and an art in itself, but the appli- cation of a few simple principles of the craft will vastly improve the appear- ance of any window. Too often no at- A G>oI Window on Main Street, Buffalo. tention at all is paid to the arrange- ment of cut flowers or plants in the window; they are simply stored in the window. The too-frequent trouble when an effort is made to decorate is that the window is overcrowded. A dozen different kinds of flowers, of almost as many colors, form a mass that produces no effect whatever on a person passing outside. Perhaps the decorator be- lieved that he would impress the pass- er-by with his varied stock; in reality he makes no impression at all. When there is so much material in the win- dow, moreover the florist can not afford to change it often, and so wilted flowers meet the eyes of the possible customer going by. Psychologists have discovered that the human mind can not grasp more than three or four objects in a single glance. The fewer the number of ob- jects presented at once, the stronger will be the impression. An expert deco- rator therefore aims at simplicity. He tries to produce a single strong effect. To get this he uses but a few groups, and all of these in harmony with one another. A few vases of one flower, perhaps including several varieties, all of harmonizing colors and shades, will prove much more attractive than a' win- dowful of many kinds *m flowers. Those who have particularly noticed the win- dows of the large city department stores which aim at artistic decorating will remember the few objects used. These displays are some of them marvels of* simplicity, but powerful in attraction. Use few objects, therefore, and have one strong effect in view in decorating your windows; aim for simplicity. Use of Background. As an aid to simplic- ity a background is of great value. The effect of one group or of a few small groups of flowers will be intensifled by the presence of some ferns, palms, and the like, forming a screen. The attention is thereby focused upon the flow- ers, or other objects which you have selected as your drawing card. Often the background is elaborate of itself, usu- ally it is quite simple; in either case it must be inconspicuous and serve almost entirely as a screen against which the groups that are to draw attention may stand out more clearly. Bark and moss, rustic wood and even cloth screens are good for back- grounds and, in addition, need no atten- tion after they are put up. In all decorating an effort must be made to bring the central objects within the range of vision. The whole ar- rangement, as well as every detail, must stand up. A group of objects all upon the same level makes but little impres- sion. , If the level is a floor or a low window that brings the tops of the objects beloW the istooulders, the objects will be overlooked almost entirely. A terraced platform is therefore one of the best arrangements upon which to build a display. Let the foreground be low, but be sure that the groups in the background of your setting come on a level with the eye. Then the center of attention which is in the middle dis- tance will be at the best possible height. The Florists^ Review July 3, 1913. Cut flowers or plants of varittUs heights may be used to gain this result, the taller toward the back. To Add Drawing Power. If these few principles be followed, the result should be a pleasing window decoration. To add drawing power, there are several" things which may be used. Motion, for one, never fails to attract attention. The fascination of movement for all- ages and classes of people is not easily explained, but it is sure. A crowd will stand all day before a window in which there are a few flying streamers, a flowing rivulet, or some bit of machinery that moves by an unseen, although quite obvious, simple bit of mechanism. There seems, too, to be something, irresistible about a stream or miniature pond of water, especially on hot summer days. If in the water there be some sort of living animal, the charm is doublv strong. Often this is due to the movements of the animal, but some forms of vegetable life — usu- ally those in which a change is notice- able from time to J;ime — also arouse the interest of a casual observer. For in- stance, a seed dealer who, in early spring, planted grass seed in a window in which he had placed a couple of inches of soil, so attracted the attention of all the passers-by that they crossed the street to pass his store each day, in order to see what progress the grass was making. When it grew long he cut it with miniature lawn tools, which he then left in the window, with the re- ^sult that his sales of seeds and lawn and garden-tools were greatly increased. Three Kmds of Features. With one or a combination of these three kinds of features — motion, water running by means of a breeze from an unseen electric fan is pretty to look at, easy to contrive, and quite attractive. A small sprinkler inside a large glass globe and throwing water up against the inside of the glass draws a crowd, which is curious to see what throws the water, as the sprinkler is partly con- cealed by the water streaming down the sides of the globe. To make it more effective, a hole may be bored in the top of the globe to let a little fountain spurt out; the water falls back in a small pond surrounding the globe. Other contrivances may be made with small streams or ponds in tin gutters or basins, artfully concealed with moss, sand or soil. Waterfalls and cascades are more easily arranged than they seem to be. These may be accompanied with a little natural scenery and vege- tation, such as are shown in the pic- tures of the windows of Gude Bros. Co. and W. J. Palmer & Son on this and the preceding pages. In the ponds may be put small turtles, crabs, alligators, or crawfish^ a few tadpoles from a nearby brook help the effect wonder- fully if you can get nothing better. Toys Help to Decorate. Toys are of great value in carrying out special ideas. When there are mo- tor boat races^ or regattas in or near your town, put a decorated toy motor boat on your little pond and anchor it over or near the inlet which feeds the pond, 80 that the force of the incoming stream will cause the boat to rock. When the automobile show is on or the races are being run, put a decorated toy auto in "the central position, with its wheels whirting and its pennants and decorations waving in the breeze of an electric fan. These timely novelties are >:^:^ pf'"^- .-y :^ l^>.e^' , :;A Cool Window ',:!i:!'li!!ll!ii. ■ ^ — ' and life — the dra-^eliag'pof^er of a win- dow may be greatly increased. The source of movement may be an electric fan, a water wheel turned by a small stream of water, a toy engine, a small electric motor, or any of a hundred bits of mechanism, which your 10-year-old "^ boy, or one of that age in the neighbor- hood, delights to rig up. A windmill- in 'Washingtpiu — :.,'!!!''!! '. — ' ■■ the 'things that make people talk, and talk is advertisement. The subject of window decoration is large and complex, but these few sug- gestions may prove of value in them- selves and, what is of more account, in the ideas which they will call to the minds of the readers. The essentials are simplicity, unity of effect, a good background and a design that stands well up in view. The features to be added to attract especial attention are motion, water and life. The elaborate window displays that can Be worked up, involving one or a combination of these, are numberless. ' i BENTZEN'S STORE. The illustrations on page 9 afford two views of the. store pf the Bentzen Floral Co., St. Louis. The location is 3118 North Grand avenue, in a district known as one particularly favored by florists. The interior view shows the selling room, with the two display re- frigerators, at left and rear, and the plate glass showcases at the right, used for novelties. Note the array of mag- nolia and oak wreaths. The exterior view shows the new Dorris delivery car at the door, CABE IN SMALL THINGS. The plunger who makes good, makes more than the conservative man. But there are more conservative men who make good than there are plungers who make good. It is worth while to be careful about everything. The man who is careful about one thing, seems always to have time to be careful about other things. The man Who uses good taste in choosing his wearing apparel almost al- ways uses good taste about his store arrangement. Such carefulness is advertising — good advertising — and it's inexpensive. The little things carefully done tell everybody who passes, a whole volume about the character of the business — the service to be had in that store. AN EABLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. An effort is being made to secure the early closing of all the stores in Wash- ington on Sundays during the summer months. The matter is in the hands of a committee, of which Z. D. Blackistone, O. A. C. Oehmler and William Marche are members, of the Florists' Club of Washington, They have secured the consent of some of the florists in the matter and the following petition is now being circulated among the trade: Whereas the florists' industry has expanded and increased greatly within recent years and to such an extent that It is now considered one of our important branches of trade; and Whereaa on account of the perishable nature of the florists' stock and the unusual and extraor- dinary conditions imposed upon the business, it is necessary for florists to k.eep open for business longer hours than is customary with most other businesses; and Whereas summer is the period when the majority of substantial business bouses find It advisable to reduce their hours of business as far as possible without financial loss and to adopt uniform business hours; and Whereas heretofore the florists of Washington have been closing their stores on Sundays at various hours and without any Idea of uniform- ity; and Whereas by closing at 1 p. m. on Sundays dur- ing the months of July, August and Sentember they could allow themselyes and employees the freedom and recreation of the half of each Sun- day, without any material financial loss or incon- venience; therefore be it Resolved, That the Florists' Club of Washing- ton hereby recommends and urges that during the said months of July, August and September all florist stores shall be closed at 1 p. m. on Sun- days; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions with a request for cooperation be mailed to every florist's store In the city of Washington. Hope to close half a day on Sunday three months a year! When will they ever get to the point of not opening at all on the Sabbath? -;n»»"»--»jjrnj-ayin^l\";7T:> ■''ilff f/"^* JULT 3, 191.1.

Stevia should be brotiKht indoors just before frost arrives, vjt is better to leave it out as late a«^ possible, but a little frost will blacken'tt and render it valueless. The distance apart it should be planted will depend on whether you are growing the tall or dwarf variety and on the size of your plants. Aver- age-sized plants, such as would fit an 8-inch pot, should have fifteen to eight- een inches each way to do them justice. Stevia wants to be grown in a cool house. C. W. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Portland, Ind.— W. A. Hart, of Jef- ferson township, brought suit on a note against the Portland Nursery Co. June 17, and asked that a receiver be ap- pointed for the defendant concern. Suit on a mechanic 's lien also was brought by the firm of Yount & Ewry against James M. T. and Mary A. Wright. Mr. Wright is the general manager of the nursery company. Painesville, O.— Though the Paines- ville Garden & Greenhpuse Co. has been in business only one season, the space under glass has already been found in- adequate and three more greenhouses will be built this summer. The demand for lettuce was so good that the stock was soon exhausted. It is said that the men who are back of this enterprise have ample means for its development. GREENHOUSE INSURANCE. Since the Omaha cyclone, which, by the way, swept several states, doing widespread damage to greenhouses, there has been much inquiry for wind storm insurance on glass structures. It has not been easy to find a company of known responsibility that would take greenhouse risks. Florian D. Wallace, a broker in the Insurance Exchange building, Chicago, thought he saw an opportunity to establish a new line of business and has devoted much of his time to the subject the last few months. "I have prevailed upon a syndicate of old and well known stock fire and tornado insurance companies, with com- bined assets of over $25,000,000, to write greenhouse windstorm insurance," he says. "This is an entirely new and rather hazardous field for insurance companies and we will proceed cau- tiously for the present, covering, only well built ranges in good repair, and only those in northern Illinois. Later in the year, however, when a better Ttnowletlge oi conditions and require- ments is n^btained, the territory will be extended to cover other states. * ' The policies will cover broadly greenhouses, boiler houses, dwellings, barns, live stock and all other property of the assured, fixed and movable, on his premises, except windmills, metal stacks, hotbeds and growing plants, shrubs and trees. There will be no troublesome conditions in the policy and no warranties except an agreement to insure for at least fifty per cent of the value of' the plant. The rates will be surprisingly low for the hazard, and it will be only with the most care- ful inspections and selection that the insurance can be written at present prices. The writer is personally visiting the various greenhouse centers near Chicago, for the purpose of making these inspections and explaining the proposition generally. ' ' Many growers carry fire and liability insurance as well as hail insurance and, since the Wilcox loss, are anxious to get fully covered by adding wind insur- ance. It has become pretty well rec- ognized in this trade that a business not worth insurance is a pretty poor business. Texarkana, Ark. — E. L. Kiley has purchased the business of Mrs. E. Aleon, who has moved to Evansville, Ind. Sterling, HI. — Robert Lundstrom, manager of the Sterling Floral Co., is one of those most actively interested in the plans for beautifying this city. Through his efforts, City Forester Frost, of Chicago, has lent his aid to the un- dertaking. Toledo, O. — A wedding of more than ordinary interest to the trade was that of Mrs, J. B. Freeman and Walter H. Crause, which took place June 30 in the handsomely decorated Unitarian church, in the presence of 150 guests. The bride is widely known in the trade, having for a long time been employed by George A. Heinl and having suc- ceeded him in business some years ago. Mr. Crause is from Cincinnati. He will go into the business with his wife, but the name will not be changed. The Bentzen Store, with New Truck at the Door. 10 The Florists^ Review July 3, 1013. BED SFIDEB ON BOSES.

Some growers find 56 degrees suffi- cient for Richmond and Killarney, but 58 degrees is better.

"Some questions having arisen with regard to the color of the new forcing rose, Mrs. Charles Russell," says the Horticultural Advertiser (Britisli), "Thos. Smith & Sons, of Stranraer, who are advertising this variety, kindly send us blooms for inspection. We have compared the flowers with the 'Repertoire de Couleurs' sent out by the R. H. S. and find that the near- est match is what is known as 'aniline red.' We might add that the flower evidently is a good laster and keeps its form and color after being cut as long as any rose with which we are acquainted. ' ' THE DEPTH OF SOIL. I should like to get some information on rose growing. Our benches are five feet wide, with 6-inch boards for sides. The bottom is made of 1-inch lumber and thus takes up one inch of the 6-inch side board, leaving only five inches for soil, and this space lacks one inch of being full. So the depth of the soil is about four inches. Is that enough soil to grow good roses inf J. E. C. Though good roses can be and are grown in four inches of soil, it takes ft good deal closer attention and a lot of feeding to keep the plants going, and, unless a good, heavy mulch is ap- plied in the spring, the plants will dry out every day in sunny weather. I. should prefer six inches of soil. A good way would be to have some 6-inch boards ripped into five strips, nail these strips on top of the side boards of the benches after the plants show that they need more soil and feeding, and fill the benches to the top of these strips with half soil and half manure. This would keep the plants in good growing condi- tion without further feeding for some time. W. J. Keimel. SUMMEB FBOFAOATION. We are interested somewhat in the propagation of roses during the sum- mer, as we wish to have some plants ready early in the fall. We believe that some of the growers around West Grove, Pa., and Springfield, O., have been doing summer propagation, and they are prot^- ably familiar with the best processes. Can you tell us when they do this, so that I could visit their greenhouses and see how it is done? H. & H. By the summer propagation of roses, we suppose the inquirer means the sum- mer propagation of these roses outdoors in hotbeds. The method we use here is to make a hotbed about two and one- half feet high at the back and sloping toward the front to a height of about two feet. In other words, there is a difference in height of about six inches from the back to the front, in a bed six feet wide. It is necessary to have the sashes fit the top of the frame closely, so as to exclude the outside air. It is necessary to keep the frames as nearly air-tight as possible. We then secure some fresh horse- stable manure, put about two feet of this in the bed and tramp it "down, watering it only a little as we put ;it in. The propagating sand is put on top of this manure, to a depth of about three or four inches. After the sand | is packed down, the rose cuttings are put in, either by dibbling them in or simply laying them in trenches, according jto the method chosen. We here dibble them, but we understand that most of the concerns at Springfield simply majce a trench with a putty knife or other tool, lay the plants in the sand and th^n pack the sand well around them. After they have all been planted, they are well watered. 1 The temperature should range from "75 to 80 degrees. It depends entirely upbn the character of the sand, whether thepe cuttings will need any more water br not. Here, with us, it is necessary |to water them once or twice in the fojar weeks they are in the frame, as our sand is coarse and will not retain the mois- ture sufficiently. It is also necessary to have a curtain, of coarse muslin or sim- ilar material, over the frame, tp kepp the hot sun therefrom. This curtain . is taken off at night and in cloudy weather.

The Horists' Review COST AND OVERHEAD EXPENSE A DISCUSSION OF BUSINESS ARITHMETIC WHAT ABE COST AND EXPENSE? The Elements That Determine Price. The subject of cost and overhead ex- pense is one which should interest every man in this room. Generally these terms . aj'e not clearly defined by the business world. Too frequently the sell- ing price is based on the invoice price, without due consideration to the over- head expense of operating the business. To my mind, cost means the invoice price of an article, plus the expense of doing business on a certain number of dollars' worth of sales. If the in- voice cost of the article is $1 and it takes twenty per cent of the selling price to cover the expense of doing business, then the cost should be con- sidered $1.25 instead of $1. It will then be necessary to add the per cent of profit which it is desired to earn. Manufacturers who change the form of a commodity have solved the prob- lem of the relation of overhead ex- pense to cost. By adding the item of overhead expense to the cost of their raw material, they know the exact cost of the manufactured article when it is placed in a packing case to be for- warded to a customer. Figuring, or Merely Quessing. We who are engaged in distributing seeds and other merchandise are too prone to feel that our expense items may be estimated, or guessed at, in- stead of being figiired down to a basis which may be depended upon to indi- cate the total cost of transacting the business. If we are to be successful in our busi- nesses, it will be necessary for us to conduct them on a scientific basis, or at least on a basis which will permit our knowing the exact relation of the expense items, when compared with the sales, of the year, month or day. In the general business world, only five per cent, of merchants who begin busi- ness on a certain date are still in busi- ness twenty years from that date. Nine- ty-two per cent usually fail within the first four years after beginning their business careers. In this day and age of talked-about high prices and the high cost of living, it seems to me as if it would be pos- sible to reduce the price of many arti- cles, if the true basis of overhead ex- pense could be figured and definitely applied to each line of business repre- sented in our complex form of living. Problems in Economy. If the head of every business could be made to feel the necessity of know- ing exactly what it costs him to do business, there would be fewer fail- ures, and consequently less waste in doing business, and in a short time it would be practicable to lower the price of many articles of merchandise which are a daily necessity to the people of the United States, and at the same time to insure the merchant of making a fair This paper was prepared especially . for seeds- men, but It contains so much that applies with equal force to retail florists and, Indeed, to nurserymen and growers that Its careful perusal Is recommended to everyone In the trade.

Waste is the one element in the United States which is too plentiful. We do not take care of the small things as they do in older countries; perhapv the necessity for greater economy has not been so urgent in the past as it is at the present time. It will only be a matter of a few years until the next generation will be compelled to face problems of economy much more complex and vexatious than those we are facing today. Therefore, if we are going to do our duty in making our records clear for our successors, it is certainly proper that we carefully con- Tlie Kdltor Is pleased when a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In j^iffjar As experience Is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by an exchanee of experiences.

WS SHAIX BK GLAD TO HKAR VROM TOU sider a plan which will eliminate guess- work from our businesses. Getting Beyond One's Depth. To emphasize the necessity of elim- inating waste in business, I Will repeat the words of a prominent business man in the wholesale grocery line: * * Every man who goes into business should have a sufficient capital to con- duct the business comfortably and safe- ly, be it large or small. He should do all the business possible to be done with the means at hand, but should not overreach or spread out to such a de- gree as would make his business unsafe. He should so watch every detail of his business, and guard his purchases, his expenses and his sales so closely, that he will not get beyond his depth. He should so conduct his business that he will be able to meet every obligation promptly at maturity.. The man who does tiis will be found to be successful, while the one who allows his payments to lag yrill be found to be the one who, as a rule, trusts out his goods injudi- ciously and whose business methods are slipshod^ whose stock is ill-kept and whose failure is only a question of time. Inventories and Insurance. ' ' Every man in business should take a careful inventory of his stock at least once a year, and should formulate a statement of his affairs for comparison from year to year. From such state- ment he can determine the elements of weakness in his business, and when these have been pointed out, they can, with proper management, be remedied, and thus the quicksands of commercial dishonor can be avoided. "Yearly inventories are a prime ne- cessity on another account, that of in- surance. A business that will not pay for insurance had best be abandoned. "No man has a right, unless he has ample means outside of his business, to jeopardize the claims of his creditors by failure to properly insure his prop- erty. He cannot afford to run the risk incident to the failure to take an an- nual inventory and to properly record his purchases and his sales, which are absolutely necessary to enable him to get his just dues in case of loss by fire. It is a source of great satisfaction to a man to be able to sle^p nights with a consciousness that his bills are paid promptly and his property is fully in- sured. ' ' Calculating the Cost. The first fundamental principle in successful merchandising is to provide in the sale price of any article, or in the total of annual sales, a profit sufii- ciently liberal to cover the direct charges against the business, viz.: Overhead or ascertainable expenses, in- terest on capital invested, contingencies, and a reasonable profit. Profit and suc- cess are interdependent and success, indeed, is more closely related to profit than to any other incident of the mer- chandising business. Surprise is natural that so few mer- chants or even commercial students un- derstand how to calculate profits, as was demonstrated when the following problem was announced in a public print for solution: "Should a mer- chant buy an article for $1 and above the total operating expense of twenty- two per cent desire to make a net profit of ten per cent, at what price must the article be sold?" A large proportion of the answers to this problem ranged from $1.32 to $1.35, which indicated that operating expense and net profit were calculated upon the cost of the article; yet it can be easily demonstrated that, in successful mer- 12 The Florists' Review July 3, 1913. chandising, operating expense and net profit must be calculated upon the sell- ing price. Figuring on the Wrong Basis. Now, while the calculation upon cost basis may be arithmetically correct, commercially it is not, for the proper answer to the problem stated is $1.47. The difference provided through the cal- culation of operating expense and net profit upon the selling price instead of the cost, created a defense against con- tingencies, a protection against disap- pointment, and perhaps against ultimate failure- Assuming that the seedsman into whose hands this paper may fall has had his interest aroused in this funda- mental principle of successful mer- chandising, the question will naturally be asked, "How is the gross profit, which comprises the operating expense and the net profit, to be calculated into the selling price?" There is a simple decimal plan which we are led to offer in this connection, which has also been advanced in pam- phlets and books treating definitely of merchants' interests. It must here be borne in mind that confusion and mistakes would likely occur if the expenses were figured upon sales and the profits upon cost. There should be uniform calculation. Some Practical Arithmetic. The plan is this: Add the operating expense and the net profit in percentage figures, deduct the total from 100 per cent, and divide the cost of the article by the difference obtained. To illustrate: In the problem above stated, the total operating expense was 22 per cent, and the desired net profit 10 per cent, making a total of 32 per cent. Deducting 32 per cent from 100 per cent, we have 68 per cent, and di- viding the invoice cost of the article, $1, by 68 per cent, we have $1.47. This plan is capable of uniform application and is merely converting an old decimal rule to an important service in the ac- countancy system of a successful mer- chandise business. Now a word regarding the percentage of expense and of profit which should be used as a basis in figuring. In the case of a running business, the previous year's sales or an average of two or more years' sales, and the previous year's operating expense or the average of two or more years' operating ex- pense, may be taken as a basis for cal- culating the probable operating expense of the year to be provided for. Our final word is: Properly calcu- late your profits. Sitting at the Same Table. It is to be hoped that, in the near future, every dealer who is a member of the American Seed Trade Associa- tion will be willing to give the other members of this association all the in- formation possible regarding the items of cost and overhead expense connected with his business. Perhaps it may be possible to incul- cate a friendly feeling on this subject, and to interest members to give freely of their experience to one another. One way would be for the American Seed . Trade Association to recommend that its members in each state form a group, and hold frequent meetings, say two, three or four each year. The men at- tending these meetings would get bet- ter acquainted and in a short time would think more of one another, and feel that the other fellow was honest and upright and was using proper ef- fort to enlarge his business in the right direction. Personal acquaintance, and getting your feet under the same table, has a great deal to do in making up an opin- ion of the worth of a man. Close asso- ciation also aids in giving a better idea of what the other fellow is thinking about. The possibilities of the seed business are too large, and of too great importance to the nation, to permit anyone's being selfish — and getting away with it. Moral and Material. If we do our part in the economics of this country, we are going to be exceedingly busy for a term of years. So much remains to be done, and so many things may be done in a better manner than they are being done now, that there is opportunity for any man who is willing to work, and to apply his best thought to any one division of the business, to develop it, make it profitable and thus be of benefit to the community in which he lives. Business is really much larger than the mere selling of goods, and while per- haps business could not exist unless we sold goods at a profit, still the business which looks at both the moral and the material side is usually more successful than the one which looks only at the material side of selling goods for dol- lars, and getting all the dollars possible. "As ye sow, so also shall ye reap," and ' * Do unto others as you would have others do unto you," were not words idly spoken, and they have as much sig- nificance today as they did at the time they were first uttered. Competition and Co-operation. Every man is a creditor and every man is a debtor; every man is a buyer and every man is a seller. Of course, in all well organized businesses the duties of different men are so arranged as to permit each one to concentrate his mind on some one division or part of the busi- ness, thus securing the maximum of realization at the minimum of expendi- ture. The more fully cooperation is adopted by the different lines of trade, the more distinctly is competition eliminated, and in most instances prices are no higher for the same article than those which exist in communities where competition is strictly enforced and where one mer- chant does everything in his power to destroy his rival in business. Think for a moment of the enormous cost of fail- ures in business each year when reduced to dollars and cents. The total is ap- palling. It is almost a crime to our civilization of the twentieth century. It is certainly time to stop this prac- tice. If the merchants of the United States would see to it that conditions [Oontlnned on page 34.] IH OEOWING FEENS pf FliORIDA. The growing of such varieties of ferns as Boston, Amerpohlii and Whitmani in Florida is an enterprise of comparatively recent origin. Newell & Ustler, of Apopka, Fla., started a business of this sort about eighteen months ago, by planting some runners, of the 2V^-inch size, from the north. Now the firm has a half acre under slats and has also installed an effective watering system, which is an equipment of vital im- portance during the Florida dry season. The slats used in the construction of the house are twenty feet long and three inches wide and are laid with a 3-inch space between them. A photograph of part of the interior of the house is re- produced on page 13. The large fronds in the foreground of the picture are from four and one-half to five and one- half feet in length. Since the young ferns, under favor- able conditions, grow to the 4-inch size in about four months and three crops can be produced in a year, the returns from a half -acre tract are greater than the uninitiated might suppose. The principal part of Newell & Ustler 's busi- ness has been the growing and shipping of runners. The runners are planted eight inches apart, in rows 150 feet long, and are allowed to grow until the young plants are all made and are ready to be marketed or transplanted. The runners ^. : are shipped in wet moss, with as little soil as possible attached. The 4-inch plants are allowed to hold as much soil as possible, but, since the soil is sandy, it soon dries out. Nevertheless, the plants travel a long distance and are said to arrive in good condition. In the spring season they are shipped chiefly to the south and west; in the winter the shipments go largely to California. "One great difficulty in the growing of ferns in Florida," say Newell & Ustler, ' ' is the dry season, when the lack of shade or of water would result in certain failure. The Boston ferns seem to thrive better here than almost any other variety, and, after the ground has been cured of sourness, they grow con- tinuously. During winter, precautions must be taken against frosts. As we say here in Florida, we are engaged in a constant gamble with nature, whether we are growing ferns, vegetables, citrus fruits or something else. We have esti- mated that next fall, from plants bedded now, we shall have a million runners to market. With the right sort of man- agement, an abundance of ferns can be produced in Florida, of a size and qual- ity that would be hard to beat." The slat house and garden are under the personal supervision of Mr. Ustler, who spent some years under glass in the north and has had much general Mr. Newell The Florists^ Review Jlly 3, 1913 Nephrdepit Growing Under Slat House in Florida. takes care of the financial end of the business. Besides ferns, the firm grows vegetable plants in their season. SCALE ON NEFHBOLEPIS. You will find enclosed a fern leaf that is infested with scale and with white objects that look like the eggs of the scale. Please let me know what is the best means of getting rid of these. I also notice that there are small black ants crawling on the fern. Have they anything to do with the presence of the scale on the plants? F. J. H. & S. advertiser is the results in orders.

The nephrolepis frond enclosed with this query was badly infested with scale. The first thing to do with plants in such a condition would be to cut off and destroy all fronds that are in «s bad a state as this. Then dip the plants in a nicotine solution. A solu- tion of Nico-fume, one part to 300 parts of water, would be safe to use, though it might affect the tips of the young fronds to some extent. If the plants are protected from the sun after dipping them in the solution, there is less likelihood of injury to the foliage, but it is probable that several dippings may be needed to overcome the pests. The ants were feeding on the sesde insects and, incidentally, would spread them from plant to plant in order to keep up a supply of food for them- selves. W. H. T. PIJ^NTS ATTACKED BY THEIPS. I am sending under separate cover two tuberous-rooted begonias and one celosia, all grown in the same house. I should be greatly obliged for any in- formation as to what is the matter with them. The begonias were doing splen- didly until about a week or ten days ago, when this trouble started. Some are considerably larger than those sent and they are all affected except two or three. There is, however, a later batch in the same house which is not affected. We keep them shaded and ventilate fairly well, but close down tightly at night. About twenty-five out of sev- enty-five of the celosias are affected like the specimen sent. H. J. "THANKS TO YOU." The publication with the smallest cir- culation usually is the one to make the loudest claims, but the real test for the Both the tuberous-rooted begonias and the celosia, or cockscomb, were simply smothered with thrips. These pests will soon destroy a fine batch of begonias, gloxinias, or in fact almost Kny plants of a soft-wooded nature, and will also attack some with harder wood. They always breed and increase most rapidly in an atmosphere which is too arid. Plants affected as yours are will be of no value whatever this season. Your later batch will, unless carefully looked after, share a similar fate. 1 would advise throwing away all the earlier batch of begonias and celosias. Dip the late plants in tobacco water or some other insecticide. Keep a moister at- mosphere in the house and do not close the ventilators tightly at any time. Spray among the plants freely, but do not wet the leaves if the direct sun's rays will strike them, as they are liable to become scorched. Dip the plants once a week and probably you will be able to flower them satisfactorily. C. W. CYCLAMENS TURNING YELLOW. I put my cyclamens outdoors in a rather shady place, with the pots plunged in the ground up to the rims, but all of the leaves turn yellow except the center ones. Is this just natural, or is there something the matter with the plants? J. S. If the cyclamens are flowering plants which you are intending to carry over, it is natural for them to lose a part of their foliage now, as they need a mod- erate rest through the summer, when they lose most of their foliage. On the other hand, young plants raised last summer or fall should not lose their foliage in this way. The best place for them for the next three months is in a coldframe protected by lath shadings, plunged or partly plunged in coal ashos. Keep the sashes well tilted all the time and on hot days remove them and mere- ly keep the shades over the plants. Spray freely when hot. The plants can be left out until the end of September. C. W.

Ab It Looks in Early July. June may be truly said to be the month par excellence for hardy herba- ceous perennials, the month when they are most fresh and pleasing and when the torrid summer heat has not yet scorched and wilted them to any great extent. Nevertheless, if the plants are in good soil and the soil is kept well stirred, they will be found quite at- tractive still, and it is really surprising what a lot of heat and drought peren- nials will stand, provided they have a mulch of even dry earth about them. Some varieties, it is true, must have water or they will be comparative fail- ures. Particularly is this true of the regal Japanese iris, I. Ksempferi, now commencing to make a glorious show of its many-hued flowers, which rival, and in many ways surpass, the most showy of the orchids. The Japanese irises are sometimes classed as semi-aquatics. This is true only to the extent that they rel- ish an abundant water supply until the flowering eeason has passed, after which they can be kept drier at the root. It is important, however, that they be kept comparatively dry at the root jn win- ter, or many will rot. Iris in Sunken Beds. Fine Japanese iris can be grown in sunken beds at a moderate elevation, which can be practically flooded until the flowering season has passed, and which can be drained in winter, but it is not necessary to go even to this amount of trouble to secure good Jap- anese iris. In any well prepared herba- ceous border they will bloom splendidly if mulched and soaked occasionally prior to and during the blooming season. Speaking of iris reminds us that the blooming season for the Siberian iris has just passed, but it is not too late to say a good word for this hardy, vigor- ous-growing and free-flowering variety. It succeeds best in moist land and likes a little shade, but grows well in almost any location. For cutting it is valuable, particularly that beautiful pure white variety, Snow Queen. This does su- perbly in field rows, but it is to be seen in its greatest vigor on the margin of a pond, swamp or stream. These and the Japanese, as well as the German iris, should" be planted early. From the middle of August to the middle of Sep- tember is much better than a month later, and if set out at that date, a nice lot of flowers are sure to be produced the following season. The Stately Larkspurs. The perennial larkspurs now are in their full glory, and what an enchanting display they make! Well established plants are six and even eight feet high, and of almost every conceivable shade of blue. There are many flower fad- dists who object to certain hardy plants. but those who have any objections to the stately and beautiful delphiniums are few and far between and are surely to be pitied. Such varieties as the Bel- ladoi^na hybrids, the named hybrids of such specialists as Amos Perry and Kel- way. Queen Wilhelmina, formosum, for- mosum ccelestinum and others are su- perb, and the dwarfer but none the less charming white and blue shades of D. Chinense are free-flowering and are first- class in funeral work. It hardly needs to be stated that all the delphiniums are fine for cutting and have a seasona- ble and fresh appearance at this time as compared with the small and faded looking roses and carnations procurable. First-class delphiniums are to be had from seed; in most cases these are equal to the named hybrids, sometimes supe- rior, and they usually possess greater vigor. The present is an ideal time to sow seed in a coldframe, where it can be kept well shaded until after ger- |3VERY now and then a weU- ■iS pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of bringing a new advettiser to Such hiendly assistance is thoroug^hly appreciated.

The seedlings can be pricked off into other frames and win- tered there, and planted out in nursery rows in the spring, but stronger plants will be had if they are set out in nur- sery rows or beds during cool, moist weather and kept well cultivated. Quite a few will bloom a little the first sea- son; the second year, in well enriched ground, all should easily grow six feet high. Where good varieties are already on hand and it is desired to propagate them, the clumps should be carefully lifted, divided and replanted not later than the middle of October, and a week or two earlier would be better. The Madonna Lily. Associated with the larkspur, and flowering at the same time, is the pure white garden lily, L. candidum, also commonly called the Madonna, Ascen- sion, St. Joseph's and the Annuncia- tion lily. This is perhaps the most beau- tiful of all our lilies and one which should have a place in every hardy flower border. Bulbs of these, when they need replanting, should be taken up in July, and the planting of either these or imported ones should not be delayed later than the end of Septem- ber, as they start to make roots and leaves quite early. Lay the bulbs on their sides when planting and they will be found less subject to disease; cover with sand and plant not over four inches deep. Two Fine Chinese Lilies. Another lily now in flower outdoors is that beautiful new Chinese variety, L. myriophyllum. This is stUl rather expensive, but it is such a good grower, so hardy and so free flowering that it will eventually find a place in every garden. Even tiny bulblets throw flow- ers, and the large white trumpets, suf- fused with pink and shaded with pale yellow, have a delightful odor. Another new Chinese lily, not yet in flower, is L. Sargentii. This is as vigorous a va- riety as L. Henryi, sometimes attainting a height of eight feet. Its immense trumpet-shaped flowers are pure white within; the outside is greenish wliite, shaded deep purple. This is" another lily which has come to stay. The ever re- liable L. Henryi will soon be opening its flowers. If it is plantjfl deep, its vigor is astonishing. It will make im- mense bulbs, which, in turn, will, pro- duce majestic spikes, carrying twenty- five, thirty-five, fifty or sometimes more flowers. The flowers are of the same form as speciosum, and this has caused it to be often dubbed the yellow speci- osum. It is, however, a far more vigor- ous and reliable garden lily than any of the speciosums. Campanulas, or Bellflowers. The campanulas, or bellflowers, are Still making a goodly show. The beau- tiful Canterbury bells, C. Medium, are passing, which reminds us that it will soon be too late to sow seeds which will produce strong blooming plants next season. But the peach-leaved or persici- folia varieties are still good. Of these C. persicifolia grandiflora and grandi- flora alba, single; persicifolia hermosa, semi-double blue, and persicifolia Moer- heimi, double white, are a fine quar- tette. All are hardy, free flowering, full of grace and splendid for cutting. The clustered bellflower, C. glomerata, is, a useful border and naturalizing •plant. It is just opening its violet blue flowers, which will persist for a couple of months. C. Trachelium, Coventry bells, are now in flower, while on the edges of the border and in the rock gar- den the Carpathian bellflowers, blue and white, make a beautiful green carpet studded with cup-shaped flowers all Summer long. No florist or gardener can afford to make a border without a good sprinkling of campanulas. All arie good growers and of easy propagation. Austin, Tex.— The Hyde Park Floral Co., of which Edgar Hall is generstl manager, had a good-looking booth at the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Exposition here. The trimmings, mold- ing and lettering were made of willow split and the roof of post oak poles. The company made a hit by distributing its surplus sweet peas and roses among the visiting ladies. l^Tn Vinton, Va. — O. E. Hedges, the lessee of the greenhouses of C. A. Shaffer & Co., at Alexandria, has moved here from that city. Houston, Tex. — In order to enlarge the scope of its business, the Henk Dir- ken Floral & Nursery Co. has incorpo- rated and will establish nurseries and greenhouses to carry on a producing as well as a distributing trade. Cumberland, Md. — G. Frank Lippold has sold his florists' plant and retired from business. He disposed of his stock of bedding plants at retail. The greenhouses, containing 10,000 feet of glass, are being torn down and the land will be sold for building lots. The Store Force of George H. Angermueller, St. Louis.

The week ending the June record was a great improvement over its three predecessors. Values in roses, valley and carnations were considerably higher until Friday, when the demand percep- tibly lessened and the market again re- turned to 'midsummer dullness. Valley alone held firm; on Saturday the scar- city was severely felt, and prices rose to the highest level since Easter. Shipments of roses have decreased and the number of selects and fancies is light. This includes the American Beauties and the novelties. Prices at the week's close were barely steady. The school closings are over, ocean travel is lighter and the month of wed- dings is but a memory. Lilies were selling, June 28, at $2 per hundred for the best, but thousands were . cleaned out for less. Valley touched 4 cents occasionally. Carna- tions, when perfect, commanded at times $3 per hundred, in small quantities; $2, however, was the prevailing figure for the best. The sleepy and imperfect stock was practically unsalable. Or- chids are abundant and there has been no change from the quotations of a week ago. Few of the sweet peas re- ceived would secure prizes at the com- ing Boston convention. Of the other arrivals of seasonable flowers, stocks, coreopsis, feverfew, phlox, etc., there is no diminution. Buyers dictate prices for these and they sell slowly. Eetail- ers are complaining of a rapid falling off in trade and many of them are al- ready away for their annual recupera- tion in the mountains or at the sea- shore. Plant (Jrowers' Outing. The seventh annual outing of the New York and New Jersey Plant Grow- ers' Association was held June 24 and 25 at the Delaware Water Gap, Pa. Fifty-five were in attendance. The arrival at the Hotel Kittatinny was in time for lunch. Excursions on the river and in the woods occupied the after- noon and bowling and dancing the eve- ning. The prize winners were: La- dies— Mrs. Baumann, first; Mrs. Schoel- zel, second. Gentlemen — A. Schul- theis, Jr., first; A. Schultheis, Sr., sec- ond. Jt was after midnight before the dancing ended. Stroudsburg and Port- land were visited the second day. All present said it was the most enjoyable affair of its kind the society has held. Secretary Siebrecht says next year it will be an eight days' trip to Bermuda. Those present were: Misses — Smith, Louise Dupuy, Doro- thy Dupuy, Schultheis, Zeller, Anna Koch, and Kessler. Mesdames — C. W. Scott, John Scott, and Love. Messrs. — Dreyer, Fiesser, A. L. Mil- ler, Julius Roehrs, Edward Dupuy, Schultheis, Henry B. Siebrecht, J. G. Kessler, A. Buchholz, Werns and L. Schmutz. Messrs. and Mesdames — Henry Bau- mann, Louis Dupuy, F. T. Langan, Her- man Steinhoff, Herman Schoelzel, Anton Schultheis, Peter Wagner, Alfred L. Zeller, George Scott, Wm. H. Siebrecht, Sr., Wm. H.

DOWN in one corner of the stationery of the New York Cut Flower Exchange, in modest type, one reads "T. Jackson, Mgr." After seven years in the position Mr. Jackson recently was reappointed for an eighth time. The officers of the concern are John Donaldson, president; Victor S. Dorval, secretary, and C. Beckman, treasurer. Their manager was born in "the tight little isle" whence came so many of those who now are leaders in the trade and last summer he took his family home for the first long vacation he has had in years, for T. Jackson, Mgr., is one who constantly is on the job. success. The committee was a most efficient one and never before has so great attention been given the details necessary to harmony and accomplish- ment. Phil Kessler was chairman, and his assistants were Victor Dorval, Harry Weston, A. Buchholz, Louis Schmutz, Jr., W. J. Phillips, Bert Chadwick, Ro- man J. Irwin, Anton Schultheis, Jr., A. Demeusy, Jr., H. C. Riedel, Paul Meconi. The attendance was over 300; a large number- of those expected re- mained at home on account of the in- tense heat. The retailers failed to bring out a strong representation. Aside from the heat the weather was perfect and no accident occurred to mar the happiness of the day. About $400 in prizes was distributed. All the races were strongly contested, but the old favorites were the most successful. The principal prize-winners were as fol- lows: Drawing for fancy vases. Miss Witt- man.

Last Sunday, June 29, was the first day on which the agreement went into effect. The Horticultural Society of New York will hold an exhibition on Sat- urday and Sunday, July 5 and 6, at the Museum building of the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx park. Prizes are offered for collections of outdoor roses, Japanese iris,, sweet peas, flowers of herbaceous plants, flowers of shrubs and trees, and assorted vegetables.

This establishment is complete in its facilities and conveniences; even shower baths on the roof are being promised their visitors, and New York headquarters accorded them when in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Werthei- mer will shortly return from their honeymoon t«ip to Europe. Interest in the Minneapolis conven- tion grows. There will be a good com- pany from this vicinity and undoubted- ly a special car. The transportation committee met last week and decided upon the D., L. & W. route to Chicago, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul from that city. Harry A. Bunyard is in Boston com- pleting arrangements for the sweet pea. convention and exhibition. Herman Weiss is now located in his new and roomy store at 103 West Twen- ty-eighth street. Barney Jacobs, for twelve years with George Saltford, and lately with Walter Siebrecht, is now in the service of Mr. Weiss. There are now twenty wholesale flo- rists' houses on Twenty-eighth street west of Sixth avenue. Seven years ago there was but one. The veteran J. K. Allen was the pioneer. A call at the Polyclinic hospital last week found L. W. Kervan rapidly con- valescing. He expects to be at home by the Fourth of July, but would rather be at Gettysburg with his old com- J. k. Allen was one of 250 of the pub- licity committee of Kearney, East New- ark, Harrison and Arlington, that made an 85-mile auto trip last week to Lake Hopatcong, booming the desirability of New Jersey as a home resort for over- crowded New York. It required thirty- five touring cars to accommodate the enthusiasts. Walter Siebrecht moved, June 28, to his new store at 114 West Twenty- eighth street, which he will occupy un- til September. He will then move to the ground floor now occupied by Eus- sin & Hanfling. Woodrow & Marketos opened their branch store at Narragansett Pier June 30. Mr. Woodrow and family have taken a bungalow for the summer at Edgemere, L. I. George Orth and Matthias Kassner, of H. E. Froment's force, left June 28 for a two weeks' holiday in the mountains. John S. Nicholas has been seriously ill during the last week, and is still con- fined to his home. The completion of his various enterprises has been a long and hard strain and he contemplates a rest at the seashore for the summer. Much sympathy is expressed for John Newall, 286 St. Nicholas avenue, in the sudden death of Mrs. Newall June 26. On the evening of June 25, she was knocked down by an automobile and her skull fractured. Joseph E. H. Morichard, salesman for the S. S. Pennoek-Meehan Co., left June 28 for a week's outing in Montreal and other Canadian holiday resorts. H. Riedel and family are summering at Bath Beach. Al. Bowler, of the Badgley, Riedel & Meyer force, left June 30 for a month 's holiday at Chicopee Falls, Mass. Mr. Meyer is enjoying a four days' rest this week in the Catskills. Nicholas Schreiner's brother died June 5, and June 27 Mrs. Schreiner lost her mother. John Trinett, of the Stumpp & Walter Co., sailed June 28 on the Cameronia to Scotland, with his wife and family for a few months' trip in England, Ireland and Germany. Mrs. J. W. Blakeley, of Elizabeth, N. J., died last week at 158 Madison ave- nue, aged 59. Her husband has been in the florists' business there for over fifty years. H. M. Eobinson, of Boston, was a visitor in New York June 28. J. C. Silbert, of the Henry M. Eobin- son Co., of New York, left June 28 for a month's holiday in the Maine woods with his family. F. A.

Irwin, is now representing Du- jardin & Lodwick, importers, of 248 Washington street, New York, W. C. Smith, of Marion, N. C, was a recent visitor, the guest of the Kervan Co. Christian Madsen, of Woodridge, N. J., sailed June 5 for Copenhagen to at- tend the golden wedding of his parents there. He will spend three months ^in Denmark and Sweden. William Kessler and family will spend the summer at Fair Haven, on the Shrewsbury river, i J. J. Coan, manager of the Growers' Cut Flower Co., is enjoying a two weeks' holiday in the mountains. John H. Troy, of the Rosery Co., East Thirty-fourth street, took a prominent part in the celebration of the two hun- dred and twenty-fifth anniversary of New Rochelle, the city where he re- sides. George Blake, of Bonnet & Blake, Brooklyn, is at Gettysburg this week, having gone there to meet his father, from Rochester, who participated in the great battle half a century ago. A. Watkins has resigned his position with W. E. Marshall & Co. J. Austin Shaw. The American Institute has issued the premium lists for its next two ex- hibitions, to be held at the Engineering building, 25 to 33 West Thirty-ninth street. The first of these is to be Sep- tember 23 to 25, when late summer flow- ers, fruits and vegetables are called for. The chrysanthemum show is to be held November 5 to 7. Anyone wanting copies of the list can obtain them by addressing W. A. Eagleson, secretary. PINOHINO MUMS. I have benched my mums and now they have stems about eight inches long, of good, healthy growth. Shall I let them grow, or would you suggest pinch- ing them down once morel Flowers are wanted about the latter part of Oc- tober. J. S. It all depends on whether you want large or medium flowers. If your trade is for rather moderate-priced flowers, it would pay to take out the tops and al- low two or three shoots to grow on each plant. It would make no difference in the flowering time of the plants whether they are pinched or not. C. W. Wilklnsburg, Pa. — Wm. M.

An electric lighting system operated by the company gave a good view of the grounds in the evening. Algona, la. — Mr. Curtis, of the Curtis Floral Co., of Hampton, la., has decided to close out his business in this town. In spite of the able management of Miss Dodd, there was not enough busi- ness to warrant the continuation of a separate branch here, in the face of so much competition as there is in this city. Ithaca, N. Y.^ — At the last meeting of the trustees of Cornell University, the work of the department of horti- culture was divided between the two departments of floriculture and vegeta- ble culture. Dr. A.

The advertising you placed for us in last week's issue of The Keview for a store man and also a greenhouse manager, has brought us a flood of ap- plicants from all over the country and it will be a hard matter for us to pick out the right man to fit the position. The positions we offer are exceptionally good opportunities for the progressive florist of today and one reason they will be hard to fill ia because we have had men. of sterling worth holding the two positions for the last four years, who have now formed a partnership and will go into business for them- selves. They will take over the entire plant and store of the Jas. Eadie Co., and men with the caliber of Frank Schoeii and Frank Friedley are bound to make a success of the new firm. J. M. Gasser Co.

Edward Schumann, senior member of the firm of Edward Schumann & Sons, was born April 17, 1846, at Trautmann, near Cincinnati, O,, and died June 29, 1913, within half a square of the old homestead. He was engaged in the flo- rists' business for about twenty-five years, at first by himself and after 1905 in partnership. His specialties were vio- lets, sweet peas and pansies. The part- ners now remaining, Edward A. Schu- mann and Chas. M. Trautmann, will carry on the business. Another son, Fred C. Schumann, is located in Den- ver, Colo. Mr. Schumann was a man of kindly disposition, loved and re- spected by all who knew him. Samuel M. Sibley. Samuel M. Sibley died of apoplexy Wednesday evening, June 25, at his home, 1959 West Fayette street, Balti- more, Md. Mr. Sibley had been a trav- eling salesman for many years, having been connected with the Leonard Seed Co., of Chicago. He was 56 years old and a member of Ben Franklin Lodge of Masons. Besides his widow, Mrs. Catherine E. Sibley, Mr. Sibley is sur- vived by two daughters, Mrs. T. H. Tracey, of Cheltenham, Pa., and Mrs. Otto W. Gall, of Binghamton, N. T. The Convention Program THE PEOGEAM of the twenty-ninth annual convention of the Society of American Florists, to be held in Minneapolis, Minn., beginning August 19, has .been so shaped that the business sessions of the convention will occupy the greater part of four days, instead of the customary three, and the final outing and sports will occur on Saturday instead of Friday. Thus the entire program of business and pleasure will extend from Tuesday, August 19, to Saturday, August 23, inclusive, and will cover a period of five days instead' of four, as in the past. It will be noted, however, that there will be no morning session on the first day of the convention, but that the opening meeting will be called to order at 2 p. m. Probably the majority of attendants, especially visitors from a distance, will heartily approve of that arrangement, as it may be a con- siderable advantage to them to be free to spend the first half day as best suits their convenience — in renewing friendships, in "getting their bearings" and adjusting themselves to their new surroundings, or in attending to any prelimi- naries that may seem to them to be important. Then they can settle down to convention business promptly and with a will. Sheridan, Wye— The plant of the L. M.

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. Most of the big growers are in a posi- tion, and inclined, to celebrate the Glori- ous Fourth, having completed replanting operations. The smaller growers do not plant so early. It will be necessary for many New England florists to have their places in- spected by the U. S. Department of Agri- culture. The new quarantine regulations are summarized on page 15 of this issue. The American Gladiolus Society has issued a schedule of premiums for the ex- hibition to be held in connection with the S. A. F. clibyention at Minneapolis in August. Copies may be had by ad- dressing L. M. Gage, secretary, South Natick, Mass. With temperatures running 20 degrees above normal, as they have day after day in the latter part of June over wide stretches of the country, it is not to be wondered at that the flower business has been dull. Trade will pick up again with the other swing of the weather pendulum. Certain publishers object strenuously to the newspaper law recently sustained by the U. S. Supreme Court. The Review does not object to the law; it is by no means so drastic as the measure by which other businesses are regulated. And the gaudy literature of some of the publish- ers slow to comply with the law makes it appear desirable to compel weekly papers to publish sworn statements of average circulation, just as daily papers now are required to do. THE THING THAT COUNTS, Practically every mail brings The Review a letter expressing some adver- tiser's satisfaction with the results ob- tained through the purchase of Review advertising space. The purpose of re- producing some of these letters each issue is to inspire others who have not yet awakened to an appreciation of the opportunity The Review affords. There is an old saying that the only way to judge the future is by the past, and the only way to judge what advertising will accomplish for a non-advertiser is by what it has accomplished for those who have been consistent users of space. It makes no difference what is adver- tised in The Review; results almost al- ways are excellent. Like this: The results obtained from our advertisements of palms were extremely satisfactory. — Avenue Floral Co., per E. W. Eichling, New Orleans, La., June 27, 1913. We get good results from our advertisement of fiower pots In The Review. — Mt. Gllead Pottery Co., Mt. Gllead, Ohio, June 27, 1913. . A LONG-WANTED RIME. We found today, we're pleased to say.

The Minnesota State Peony Associa- tion was organized June 24 at the home of B. T.. Hoyt, Hamline and Hoyt ave- nues, St. Paul. Only temporary officers were elected, B. T. Hoyt being desig- nated as acting president. L. J. Bough- ner and Henry Patthey, of Minneapolis,, and Mrs. H. C. Tillotson, of Lake Min- netonka, were appointed a committee to draft a constitution and by-laws to be presented at a second meeting within a few days. C. S. Harrison, of York, Neb., was present and was the principal speaker. The organization will include both amateur and professional growers. It was announced that a determined effort will be made at the national association meeting, to be held in Chicago June 10 and 11, 1914, to secure the 1915- peony convention for the Twin Cities. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The closing week of June was any- thing but an active one for this mar- ket, due mostly to the extreme heat of the last ten days. This section seldom experiences the continued torrid weath- er that has crippled the local market. The ^igh temperature was in direct contrast with a year ago, when cool weather prevailed throughout the month. Both the demand and the sup- ply have been light for the last ten days, as a result of the heat. As to- supply, there is little good stock on the market and the shipping stock is. decidedly short of the present demand. Not that the demand has been heavy,, but weak as it has been, the supply of first grade stock has dwindled steadily until it is hard for the wholesalers to- get enough that will hold up. This ia due solely to the heat, for there are quantities of roses of the inferior grades that are not easy to move with- out selling to the street men and ele- vated-railroad-station operators. It has been almost an impossibility for the growers to get the stock into market before it opened. While it might be cut tight, it suffered on the way to the city. Carnations are about in the same class, only the good carnations are hard- er to find than the good roses. Still,, there have been quantities of the poor ones that could be handled only with difficulty and at such prices as the buyer cared to offer. For the few good ones that came in the returns have been all that could be expected. Carna- tions were in much lighter supply June 30, indicating the approach of the end of their season, hastened by heat. With both asters and gladioli a matter of future consideration, the roses and car- nations are the only flowers on the mar- ket and will continue popular. There are some odds and ends in the way of miscellaneous stock, but they are worthy of only brief mention. American Beauties continue to come on the market in numbers and there is some excellent stock obtainable, al- though the majority of the Beauties seem to have been reached by the T < "'■ V*»' ^ » 1,1 J " J I (iifli J« W.-JWI-, "BIW*^.' •'TfwTvat^.T; I , ,^ ,, f '■iv.ppjpvfm .

Killar- neys are plentiful in the shorter lengths. While Maryland shows excel- lent qualities, there are not enough good ones to supply the local demand. Richmond, Mrs. Taft and the yellow roses are not so plentiful as they have been and what good ones the local re- tailers can find they are ready to take at a reasonable price. Lilies are abun- dant and the prices obtained for these are lower than they have been for some time. The crops appear to be working off and returns are improving. Sweet peas have been picked in large numbers, but there is no special flurry on these at the present and their soft condition does not afford the wholesaler the chance to move them to any great ad- vantage. The indoor season is about over. Valley holds up well, with the supply not any too large. Oattleyas are abundant, for they are not in large request. Peonies are about out of the market, all cleaned up except for one lot that has been held back to let the others go first and get a clear field. Gladioli are coming stronger every day. A few asters have appeared. Shasta daisies from Michigan are so plentiful, and in some cases so spotted, it is diflScult to show satisfactory returns. The Michigan candidums arrived last week, by the thousands; it was im- possible to aell them.

This will not do away with the need for buying ice, for it is said that on the average the Poehlmann store chops up 1,500 pounds of ice each day to pack with outgoing shipments. When the sweet peas were played out the Batavia Greenhouse Co. planted gla- diolus bulbs in the bench. They are now being cut. It is a crop from space that otherwise would have been idle. The Bohannon-Muir store on Monroe street, between Wabash avenue and State street, has been closed. A sign advises that the business has "removed to 70 East Monroe street."

While the market was not lively by any means June 30, A. L. Vaughan, of A. L.

Max Cohen expects to go to New York this week for a visit with rela- tives and to look around a bit prepara- tory to opening another store in the autumn. When he lost his lease on Sixty-third street he put his fixtures in storage, to remain until he can find a location to his liking. The Kroeschell Bros.

Stock on the local market is entirely too plentiful and, in some cases, as, for instance, carnations, many hundreds went to waste. There has been a good call for roses, peas and valley, the last named being much used for the numer- ous weddings. Carnations are already small, which accounts for the small de- mand for them. * Varioua Notes.

This is the third car the company has pur- chased, all three of which are in service. The following down-town retailers have decided to close at 5:30 p. m, dur- ing the summer months: E. A. Fetters, Gus H. Taepke, W, B. Brown, The Flower Shop, John Breitmeyer Sons and B. Schroeter. Some of these will also close at 6 p. m. Saturdays for the sum- mer. About thirty of the largest retail merchants in the city will close at 6- p. m. Saturdays during the summer and a movement is now on foot to close at this time on Saturday the year around.

Burgess, who is superintending the wrecking for the Burgess-Kay House Wrecking Co. The two men were separated by Patrolman Fred Kaiser, who had been summoned ^ Budlong's E Blue Ribbon Valley from police headquarters in anticipation of trouble, apparently just as they were about to come to blows. While the two were arguing one of the Italian laborers employed by the wrecking com- pany had picked up a brick. He was aiming it at Poehelon 's head, when he was observed by the patrolman. "Drop that or I'll run you in," shouted the policeman. Poehelon looked up and saw the Ital- ian with the brick dotched in his hand. "Load my shotgun! Load my shot- gun! " he cried to a group of his clerks who had gathered in the alley. Mention The Review when yon write. He was quieted by the patrolman, who remained on the job to prevent further trouble.

Although cut flowers are not coming into the market in large quantities, there are enough of all varieties to fill the somewhat limited demand, as busi- ness hais taken its usual summer slump. There is the usual run of funeral work and June was prolific in its demand for wedding and college and seminary dec- orations and bouquets. Various Notes.

C. L. L. P^ILAOEXPHIA. The Eastern Market. The week ending July 2 has been worthy of the coming Fourth. There has not been enough business to dis- tract attention from the approaching holiday. The quantity .of flowers com- ing into town has fallen off, but not nearly so much as the business, which is extremely light. Gladioli are becom- ing quite important among the cut flow- ers; America, Augusta, Brenchleyensis and May are all coming in freely, both from outdoors and indoors. They are decorative and meet with fair sup- port. Valley has been in moderately active demand all through the week. So, too, have white roses. Kaiserin is much less plentiful than the White Kil- larney. Maryland is the summer rose par excellence. The color improves with heat and the size holds well, pro- vided the plants are given enough food and water. There are Beauties, botli eastern and local, a few Bichmond and some Killarney to complete the assort- ment. The carnations that have survived the several hot waves are fairly good; in fact, surprisingly good for July. Easter lilies are a staple summer flower now. The quality is good. There are a num- ber of white flowers from outdoors, candytuft, alyssum, feverfew, achillea. All sell in limited quantity. Then there still are some coreopsis and cornflower. Peonies are about over. Asters have come; in fact, came two weeks ago; mostly pink, with a few white, but so small as to barely suggest the coming BERGER BROS.

Cattleyas, both gigas and Gaskelliana, can be had in numbers; also the white Dendrobium formosum. Club Meeting. The July meeting of the Florists ' Club was devoted to the serious con- sideration of the National Flower Show in 1915. After thorough discussion the question of holding the show here still is unsettled. The committee appointed to see John Wanamaker about the use of one of his floors reported progress. Another committee was appointed to find the best available hall. The mat- ter will be decided at the August meet- ing. Modem Ideas. The telephone bell rang. "Can you go over to Eoelofs with me this after- noon? It is the last chance for awhile." Work had been heavy; the Senator's invitation had been unavoidably de- clined; even the picnic had been missed. "All right," went over the wire, and Roelofs it was that late June after- noon. There are a few places in this coun- try that are as progressive as Roelofs, but it is doubtful whether there is any place in the neighborhood of Philadel- phia that excels in progressiveness this newly built plant of the Joseph Hea- cock Co. I do not refer so much to the magnificent greenhouses and their con- tents as to the machinery used in run- ning them.

Its capacity is over 200 gallons a minute, which makes it unlikely that it will be lowered by any amount of pumping. Next came the ice-making machine, a cold storage plant with its complicated mechanism and coils of ammonia-filled pipes. This im- provement, with its mammoth ice-box, has just replaced the old refrigerator cooled by natural ice. The new box is 20x8x12. It is lined with cork and faced inside with concrete. As yet there are no shelves. Robert Jamison, who manages Roelofs, says that the advantage of cold storage over ice is that you can take flowers out in the same stage in which you put them in, which is impossible with ice when the weather is warm. Next came the dy- namo, to furnish power for the ice- making machine. Two 150 horse-power horizontal return tubular boilers are be- ing installed to aid the two 100 horse- power boilers that have furnished the steam until now. It is a magnificent array of modern greenhouse machinery. The two 600-foot houses will show some slight changes next season. Lady Hillingdon, Mrs. Aaron Ward and Eadi- ance have done so well that they have been increased to double their number. White Killarney has been cut down to make room for them; Killarney, too, just a little. Richmond remains the same. This still leaves Killarney as the important rose of the place, in num- bers equal or nearly so to all the others together. White Killarney comes next, then Richmond, then Radiance, which looks extremely well now; then the yel- low and the copper. Time forbade a visit to the dairy, where further improvements are being completed. The dairy supplies all the fertilizer used in the greenhouses and all the milk used in Girard College. Various Notes. Charles Henry Fox moved four doors south, from 215 to 223 South Broad street, June 25. This move is made necessary by the expansion of the Ritz- Carlton hotel. Mr. Fox will occupy 223 during July and August, while he is putting his new store at 221 South Broad street into shape for the fall. Mr. Fox plans that the exterior will resemble his old store in every respect, while the interior will show many im- provements.

Average prices, however, were, at the best^ 'O^nly fair, because of the large amount o£ poorer stock, which sold at almost any price the wholesalers could get for it. The number of flow- ers coming in is rapidly declining to the usual almost short July supply. Shipping business is good.

Onions for seed in Ohio are not look- ing any too well. Beans are looking fine to date. Weather conditions from planting to late June were ideal. There have been good rains in parts of Michigan and Wisconsin. Not all the peas will have been hard hit by heat. The weather has been extremely dry and hot for over a month in the prin- cipal seed growing sections of the middle west. The death of Sam Sibley, for many years traveler for the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is recorded in this week 's obit- uary coliunn. J. W. Edmundson, of the California Seed Growers ' Association, San Jose, Cal., spent July 1 in Chicago, en route home from the seed trade convention. The temperature at Sacramento June 30 was 92 degrees in the shade with a 16-mile wind. The damage to the crops up the river must have been considerable. Reports from Holland at the begin- ning of June, when lifting of tulips had been begun, were not of optimistic char- acter. Crops will not be up to last year. The onion set crop at Chillicothe is not any too flourishing. Harvesting has been begun at LouisvUle. At Chicago the present outlook is for not over half a crop, less if rain is long delayed. The board of public works of Evans- ville, Ind., temporarily turned down the petition of the Ohio Valley Seed Co., for a switch from the Southern Eailway tracks into its property on Indiana and Eowley streets. Contrary to all early expectations, the turnip seed crop at Nashville, Tenn., has proven almost a failure. Just as the plants were in full bloom, there was a freeze that caused blighting and just be- fore maturity the aphis got on them so badly that there were some fields unfit to cut at all. The leading grower there is said to be delivering ten per cent on his contracts. From present indications there will be a short crop of cow peas, even if there should be plenty of rain from now until the end of the season. There are many fields that have already started to die. Most seed stores will close from Thurs- day, July 3, to Monday, July 7. Of the Barteldes Seed Co., Denver, J. R. Kern and J. M. Wiesel are joint managers. Apparently the peas will get their usual backset again this year. The three weeks following June 20 ordinarily are the critical time with the crop and the weather has been unusually hot and dry this season. ti. '"^KKK^' ' Charles C Massie. 1 There are reports in the daily papers of rains in California but telegraph ad- vices July 1 say there has been po pre- cipitation of consequence in the seed growing sections. Bain at this time of course would do at least as much harm as good. A VERDICT of $3,000 has been returned against the widow of the late W. "V^. Eaw- son, the Boston seedsman. Katherine McLeod, the nurse who attendcid Mr. Rawson, was injured by a fall on his stairs. She brought suit. The Superior court found for the defendant; but the Supreme court, June 20, returned a judg- ment against the widow. SEED TBADE CONVENTION. Oleveland Meeting Concluded.

The discussion of the parcel post oc- cupied the greater part of one of the sessions and brought out the same di- vergent views previously expressed. Complaint was universal; nobody was satisfied, but the reasons for dissatis- - faction were various and the remedies proposed were of all sorts and kinds. While the discussion was going on the postmaster general issued an order that will do away with one serious com- plaint— he directed that on and after July 1 ordinary postage stamps and par- cel post stamps can be used interchange- ably, letter stamps on parcels and par- cel stamps on letters. This will let seedsmen clean up the embarrassing accumulations of ordinary stamps that have resulted from the operation of the season just closed. Some of the argument was for the improvement of the present system under which seeds and plants do not take the parcel post rates at all, while others wanted sim- ply to have seeds and catalogues classed with other merchandise under the pres- ent zone system, ^till others wanted a parcel post on the zone plan, only with fewer zones, but the majority were not in favor of either of these propositions and in the end a resolution was adopted favoring the abandoning of the present arrangements and the inauguration of an entirely new parcel post under a flat rate law, a no-zone plan. It was recognized, of course, that there is no immediate prospect of such a radical change in the law, but it was thought to be sure to come, sooner or later. "The trouble is," said Secretary Kendel, "that it takes an enormous amount of time to look up each pack- age and find out what zone it goes into. To a small firm which only sends out a half dozen parcels a day, this is of little moment, but to a firm sending a thousand, the time consumed by the clerical force in looking up the zone, soon amounts to a great deal of money. A flat rate to all places would eliminate this expense. " Crop Reports. For the last two years the feature of confidential crop reports has been made much of at the convention, grow- ers being urged to supply the latest information under the pledge that it would not be made public except to the members in executive session. This year the crop reports were not featured in the program, perhaps because practically all such news is of a most discouraging nature. In spite of the fact that the previous efforts were nqjt made, some crop reports were received. L. Da}hn- feldt, of Odense, Denmark, sent a mail report and supplemented it by cable June 23, sending a copy of the cable to The Review. It was: "Mangels, carrots, promising; cab- bages, cauliflowers, spinaches, middle; rutabagas, beets, turnips, radishes, kale, below middle." Visit to PainesvUle. One of the pleasantest afternoons ever spent by the members of the American Seed Trade Association was that of June 26. At the adjournment of the convention two special cars on the interurban railroad were in waiting to take the party to Painesville, where fifteen automobiles met them and took J. W. EDMUNDSON.

Mr. Massie's election to these positions is regarded by seedsmen as an honor not alone to him, but to the Minneapolis seed busi- ness, because he is a product of the local industry. He has been engaged in the seed business in Minneapolis fdV twenty-one years. He came from Scot- land in 1891, a lad of 19, with no quali- fications but a common school education and bringing up on a farm. He began work with the firm of which he is now one of the heads, his first duty being turning a fanning mill in its seed clean- ing department. Since that time he has served in practically every department, been traveling salesman, made journeys to Europe and seed centers elsewhere to study methods and has been head of several of the firm's departments."

The Florists' Review 45 Silver Pink News FOR A YEAR OR MORE I have been telling the virtues of my Original Silver Pink Snapdragon from seed. Many have accepted our story, some have doubted, and a few (mostly competitors) have knocked us good and hard. We had our reputation at stake, knew our business and attended strictly to it. Today our patrons do the talking, and the sailing is plain and easy for SILVER PINK— the one great Snapdragon of the age. Washington. D. C, June 13, 1913. G. S. Ramsburg, Somersworth, N. H. Dear Sir : Replying to yours of June 10 in reference to Silver Pink Snapdragon, beg to advise that we have had very satisfactory results from seeds. First: With the exception of a few golden sports, the color is uniform and perfect. Second : Second crop on the plants has beaten anything tbat we have seen. Third : In reference to dis- budding, they grew so fast and blossomed so profusely ttiat there was positively no need for disbudding. We remain, very truly yours, Gude Bros. Co. Dover, N. H.. June 20, 1913. Mr. Ramsburg: Kindly duplicate my last year's or- der for 500 Silver Pink Snapdragon from seed. Never had so many blooms from Snapdragon before, and it gives me pleasure to tell others of your fine stock. Very truly, C. L. Howe. Mr. 6. S. Ramsburg. Kennebunk, Me., Jmie 19, 1913. Dear Sir : Will say in reply to your inquiry about Sil- ver Pink Snapdragon from seed that it was very satisfac- tory. The flowers were very nice, with only a few golden sports in the lot. I wish to reorder 200 plants. Very truly yours, J. 0. El well. Most anyone will say that a thing is beautiful, but it re- quires a multiple of good qualities to attract the attention and receive the indorsement of such men as the above, who are sound, hard-headed business men who are not growing plants wholly for pleasure, but who would justify their time by the largest increase of dollars. Note that their reorders are for plants from •••d, while they could have made count- less thousands of cuttings from the plants they grew. I would' have you note the character and standing of the rden who so enthusiastically indorse this great Snapdragon. Gude Bros., Washington, D. C, are among our leading busi- ness florists and have to do with many of the greatest busi- ness and social functions in our country at the National Cap- ital. They grew Silver Pink from seed last season and have bought seed for another big lot this season. C. L. Howe. Dover, N.

Elwell is a prosperous and up-to-date grower, with a strong list of high-class trade, at Kennebunk, Me., a fashionable seaside resort. Many more could be added —but what's the use ? Silver Pink from seed is the greatest money-maker of the lot, producing twice as many blossoms as any variety from cuttings. We put the price low and mean to keep it there. You don't have to mortgage a house to have a bed of Snapdragon. From one to three packets of seed will All most requirements.

HEAT IN OLDER PEA DISTBICTS. It has been tremendously hot and dry in the pea-growing districts of Michigan and Wisconsin for the last week of June and great damage has been done the crops, especially the later varieties and later plantings, that were just in flower when the hot wave struck. Here are the official temperatures, maximum, at three stations: June, Green Grand 1913. Bay.

' ' The terrific hot spell of the last week is having its effect on peas and is sure to do great injury to the late varieties; the early varieties came through with- out getting much hurt, as they were far enough advanced and came in pod just about the time the hot wave struck." This is the report of a Michigan oper- ator who believes his peas are earlier than the general crops throughout the state. He adds, "From what we hear, the hot weather is burning up the crops.

We have not heard much from Wis- consin, but we understand they have been having the same kind of weather over there, and we should think it would have the same effect with peas at this time of the year when they are in their critical state. We have no news from our crops in Ontario, except to say that the Canadian grown peas do not cut much of a figure, as they are grown in such small quantity in com- parison to what they grew in other years. The latest news we have from California is to the effect that pea crops are badly damaged, some entirely ruined. On the whole, it is stated, by the best authority, that California will not harvest one-third of a crop of peas. We have no reliable news from Oregon, but the jieas grown in that section do not cut much of a figure one way or the other. As to crops in Idaho and Mon- tana, will say that peas were backward in Montana, and the early varieties just in bloom while the late peas have just fairly started. In Idaho our crops are showing up well in the Twin Falls dis- trict, as well as our crops near St. An- thony, but we do not look for so good a crop as last season for the reason that it was too dry this spring and peas were late in coming up.

The Market. Stock is still cleaning up fairly well and there is little change from last week in the variety offered. Gladioli are becoming rather too plentiful, but they have probably never been better than this season. Several varieties of statice have been shown as novelties and a few nice dahlias have been seen. Orchids have been scarce some days and the gigas varieties are practically over in local houses. Boses are good, both from indoors and outdoors, though mil- dew is too prevalent in some places. Carnations and centaureas are plentiful and there is the usual assortment of small flowers from outside. Some ele- gant outdoor Easter lilies are in and a few rubrums have made their appear- ance. Water lilies are not much shown, but the few seen are good. The New Park Greenhouses. While I had heard a great deal about the new greenhouses at Eastlake park, I had never seen them until last week, when I had the pleasure of a look through with Park Superintendent Shearer and Mr. Gowans. While at first glance the work looks a little heavy, it is certainly not of the char- acter described by self-appointed crit- ics here. As Mr. Shearer points out, the main buildings are not propagating houses, but conservatories, where the general public can enjoy a sight of palms and other plants from temperate climes without stewing in hot and moist houses. And I can personally vouch for the fact that they were pleasantly cool during one of the warmest June days we have had, while the light is well broken up and diffused through the rolled glass. They are houses that a cultivator who knows his business can maintain in a good condition. The ven- tilating and other gear is all that could be desired. The park commissioners have a good deal of work before them and the appropriations are not too large, so it will do no good to be carping at them. Regarding the propagating houses, I would prefer larger, wider houses, with less cement floor work and each stand- i".g separately, to admit side air. There will probably be difficulty in keeping them cool during hot weather without undue shading. Regarding the clearing away of a lot of the useless shrubbery and opening the park up, this is un- doubtedly good landscape work. Much of the old, trashy stock was too thickly planted in the first place and the shrubs have been fighting for a living ever since. A good expanse of lawn, well kept, will be a decided improvement. A fine new boathouse has been built in Hollenbeck park and, as showing that Mr. Shearer is of open mind and does not wish to run down his predecessors, he was loud in his praise of the work of the late Mr. Tomlinson, well known here many years, who arranged and planted this beautiful little park. Various Notes. Manager W. Wern, of Wright's Flow- er Shop, has purchased a fine Hender- son touring car, which he says he ffnds^ exceedingly useful, and from which he and Mrs. Wern get lots of pleasure. Few men stick more closely to business than does Mr. Wern and he deserves all the pleasure and good health that automobiling will bring him. There has been a continuous round of wedding and commencement orders right through the month here. Business is reported good at the new Williamson store. The firm has ob- tained a good deal of work from cus- tomers of the new German-American bank. The Freeman-Lewis Co. made a mag- nificent urn for the opening of the Ger- man-American bank — something entire- ly unique and greatly superior to most of the work in this line. The design was about ten feet high, worked out in centaureas, and the urn was filled with fine Radiance roses. The base was of Easter lilies and there was none of the flatness usually characterizing this kind of work. C. Lewis was responsible for this immense piece and it was surely "some task." For the opening of the German- Amer- ican bank Murata & Co. supplied 10,- 000 greenhouse carnations, to be ghren away as souvenirs. . ' \ H. Reeve Darling will leave shortly with the Sierra Club for a long jatint through the high Sierras, starting from San Jacinto. The party will return July 30, when another big trip will be un- dertaken, Mr. Darling going as "gbide, philosopher and friend." Few people know the high mountain regions bettet than Mr. Darling and his services are always in request. Dr. A. D. Houghton, well known in this city as a clever botanist, traveler and horticulturist, was married in Chi- cago, June 23, to Miss Florence Gilder- sleeve. The honeymoon trip was over the Great Lakes, and Dr. and Mrs. Houghton will be at home to their friends here late in August. A. J. Beverley, of Santa Barbara, is in town, demonstrating his excellent sprayers, which are being well received here.

Cool days and cool- er nights make conditions that are ideal for both the grower and the retailer. Seldom do we have roses that are of such good form and color as those of this year. This is true also of all the seasonable flowers. Prices, however, have no standing at present. The daily demand is the only factor in the nego- tiations between buyer and seller and it is needless to say that all values are thrown to the winds many times during the morning hours. June has redeemed itself in the matter of weddings this year. The early part of the month was devoted to school commencements, but as soon as these were over, there came a large number of wedding decorations that were well distributed among the stores. As a consequence, valley, orchids and white roses have been well used up for the last few weeks and little or nothing has gone to waste. A large quantity of longiflorums are being brought into town, but they do not move quickly. America gladioli are seen by the thousand and, although they do not seem to sell as well as they did last season, they are being used lavishly for window and other decorations. They cost the retailers but $1.50 per hun- dred, which is much cheaper than they have ever been sold here before. Bride gladioli, iris and peonies are over for this year.

Business has been good, it being the week of the high school commencements. While the movement to dispense with flowers at graduation is Well under way, there are quite a number of people who do not heed the notice. Flowers are not overplentiful. Boses are inferior and such varieties as Maid, Killarney, Ward and Hillingdon are about all thrown out. Bichmond is de- clining rapidly.

Being located in the residence district, he carries a good stock at all times. E. E. C. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. As usual at this season, there is not much doing in cut flowers. The cars from suburban districts have many pas- sengers carrying in flowers to their friends, so that the few who do not have gardens are kept well supplied by the many who have, and there is conse- quently not much demand for flowers at the stores. Funeral work and wed- dings, however, have been plentiful and there has not been much unsold stock. Carnations are not so low in price as they have been at this time and good roses are ready sellers. The Rose Show. With an attendance of 40,000 people, an ideal spot to hold a show, fair weath- er and, for the most part, satisfied ex- hibitors, the second annual rose show of the Mount Baker Park Improvement Club may well be said to have been an unqualified success. The exhibits by amateurs were an improvement on last year's show and prove that there are many good and enthusiastic rose grow- ers in this city. Their roses in many instances would compare favorably with those of professional growers. The bloom of Melanie Soupert which won the sweepstake prize and gold medal for best individual rose was a beauty. The trade was fairly well represented. Some notable exhibitors were conspicu- ous by their absence, but those present more than made up for it. The H. B. Burdett Co. had an artistic display, but owing to neglect in finishing was not in the prize list. The display of the Rosery certainly deserved its place on the prize list. The Burns Floral Co. was well represented and had a most attractive stand. Thomas Wylie put up a show of perennials that received con- siderable attention. Eosaia Bros, had a good background of palms and roses and nsed sweet peas for the centerpiece. The Seattle Landscape & Nursery Co. had a varied collection of roses, shrubbery, alpines and perennials and the booth was crowded for most of the two days. J. J. Bonnell, the Aab- ling-Ebright Co. and the Burdett Co. all had good displays of shrubbery, new roses, etc. Following is the prize list for the trade: Potted plants and cut flowers— The Rosery, first; the Seattle Landscape & Nursery Co., sec- ond. Lawn shrubs — J. 3. Bonnell. first. Long-stemmed roses— The Rosery. first. Blooms— The Seattle Landscape & Nursery Co., first: J. J. Bonnell, second. _ Perennials— Thomas Wylle, first. Various Notes.

NINE PAGES OF RETAILERS' CARDS This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so helpful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years. Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and make 20 per cent profit without eflfort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand.

The Southwestern Market. There seems to be plenty of stock at the wholesale markets. Fancy grades of roses and carnations, however, are scarce in comparison with other stock. The retail trade is, of course, quite dull, as the flower-loving people have gone north to summer resorts and the only thing that keeps the florists going is funeral work, which has been plentiful. The wholesalers say that the demand for white flowers has been steady all week and that good stock sells readily at any price. The growers are about ready to pull out the old stock. Prospects are that 3tock is going to be scarce, as the field- grown stock is poor, owing to so little rain. They "will begin to cut gladioli from the outside this week and then the supply will be heavy. Prices on all stock coming in are low. Sweet peas have gone to the bad and carnations are small in flower. Boses are about the best flowers that come in at present and the demand for them has been heavy. The store men keep themselves busy cleaning up and mak- ing necessary alterations during the dull summer months. Various Notes. Harry Balsley, of the Detroit Flower Pot Co., spent a few days here last week. The staff of the Windier Wholesale Floral Co. spent the Saturday half- holiday at the baseball park, watching thj Cardinals and the Pirates. Since the season closed, F. C. Weber has had a force of carpenters at work building a new office and other neces- sary improvements. Otto Bruenig, of the H. G. Berning force, is on his vacation and is taking a trip east for ten days. He is a brother to Mrs. Berning. City Forester Jule Koenig spent Sat- urday, June 28, at Collinsville, 111., with a party of Masons doing degree work for a local lodge there. David Geddes says one must read The Review from the first to the last page or he will miss a lot of good things. What is the other fellow doing? William Ossick, chairman of the trustees, says that a number of special picnic prizes have been offered by the local florists, but more can be used. Arrangements are all completed for the annual outing July 17. Edwin Denker, state vice-presidept of the S. A. F., reports that the St. Louis convention party will travel by boat.

Oscar Kuehn, head of the wire work department of the W. C. Smith Whole- sale Floral Co., has taken a lot of splen- did photographs at the Missouri Botan- ical Garden. All of his days off are spent in this kind of work. The Lady Florists ' Home Circle spent Wednesday and Thursday, June 25 and 26, as guests of Miss Matilda Meinhardt at her cottage at Chautauqua. They returned home Thursday evening and all had a splendid time. Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co., says that the long dry spell was hard on the young nursery stock and that there was considerable loss. The recent rains saved a lot of the stock. Mr. Weber expects to take a trip e€st this summer. Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Halstead, mother of Dr. A. S. Halstead, president of the St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville, died last week at her home in Santa Bar- bara, Cal. The local florists extend their sympathy to Dr. Halstead. C. E. DeWever left June 30 for Chi- cago for a week 's stay on business mat- ters. Mr. DeWever has a fine plant in the country and will soon begin to cut his outdoor gladioli, of which he has 75,000. He has also many thousand field-grown roses. George Schriefer, head of the cut flower department at C. A.

The passing of June, with its wed- dings, class days, graduations, com- mencement exercises and other func- tions, and the arrival of much warmer weather, have reduced the cut flower trade to its usual midsummer ebb. Fakers are now the principal flower buyers, and salesmen who fr^wn on these helps to the market, when prices are soaring, are now glad to see them coming around and wish they were more numerous, for they handle a lot of flow- ers which would otherwise be consigned to the rubbish barrels. Boses are not of good quality. The hot weather is proving too much for them; low prices prevail and good clear- ances are out oi the question. Some nice summer Beauties, Taf ts. Wards and Kaiserins are seen. Carnations are get- ting beautifully less, both in number and in size. A few fancy flowers make $2, but 50 cents per hundred is a more general price. Sweet peas have had a hard time of it lately and are selling low. The local peony crop was finished this week. It has not proved particu- larly profitable. Lilium auratum is seen on some stands. Cornflowers are abun- dant. Gladioli, with some growers, are over. English iris is seen in small batches. Of such flowers as stocks, feverfew, snapdragons and marguerites San Francisco, Cal.

Moses Penn, the well known Wash- ington street florist, and Miss Arnold, of Boston, were married at Ottsfield Hall, Eoxbury, June 24. The newly married couple were well remembered by a large circle of friends and received many hdndsome gifts. Interest in the Minneapolis conven- tion is steadily growing locally. Book- lets with the official tour have been issued. The party will leave Boston August 15, visiting Montreal, St. Anne 's, Toronto, Niagara Falls and Chi- <5*go, going thence to Minneapolis via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. R., with a choice of routes returning. The taup has been arranged under the auspices of the Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club of Boston and the Horticultural Club. All who plan going with the New England party should communicate with W. P. Edgar, Horticultural hall, who will give all information needed. David Welch, of Welch Bros.

Most of the retail stores are closing for the summer at 6 p. m., except on Saturday, when they close at 8 p. m. Frank J. McDonald, salesman for F. J.

Palmer, of Brookline, has given his employees Saturday afternoon vaca- tions during July and August, which privilege is much appreciated. A. G. Lake, of Wellesley, one of the local aster kings, had the first asters of the season seen locally, at the Boston Cooperative Market, June 28. The annual harbor fishing trip of the growers and salesmen at the two whole- sale flower markets has been arranged for July 10. All who can go are invited to communicate at once with W. A. Hastings, at the Boston Flower Ex- change. A fine steamer has been en- gaged and J. M. Cohen, who has charge of the arrangements for the inner man, has secured a caterer who will provide a first-class feast. Samuel Wax and W. A. McAlpine are away on a four weeks' fishing trip to the banks of Newfoundland. The Boston Cut Flower Co. reports splendid June business, the call for flowers for wedding functions being unprecedented. F. J. Dolansky is having a fine ship- ping trade in cattleyas for Bar Harbor and other seaside resorts. Everyone is looking forward to the coming picnic of the Gardeners ' and Florists' Club, to be held at Cunning- ham park, East Milton. This is the most beautiful picnic resort the club has ever had, as all can testify who attended last year. Thomas Boland is picking tomatoes in large quantities at his Revere estab- lishment. His large rose house there ii looking fine. At Nahant his tubs of hydrangeas are in demand at present. At the nurseries of R. & .T. Farquhar & Co. a large block of Lilium myrio- phvllum promises a wonderful show in a few days. Some stalks stand six feet or more high and carry fifteen to twenty-two buds and flowers each. .Tames Wheeler, of Natick; ,Tohn Barr, of South Natick; ,T. W. Foote, of Read- ing, and L. E. Small, of Tewksbury, are all sending to the Boston Cooperative Market some exceptionally fine carna- tions for warm weather.

Eosa rugosa repens alba is highly thought of here. Some pretty new things are flowering in the collection sent from western China by E. H. Wilson. In the greenhouse Mr. Dawson, who is a past master in the art of propagating difficult subjects, showed me plants of Acacia pubescens from grafts in August, 1912, which are now from twenty-seven to thirty inches high. W. N. Craig. NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. There has been a perfect stream of weddings and funerals during the last two weeks and business has been good all along the lino. The weather has been unfavorable for outdoor plants, as it has been unprecedentedly hot and dry. There have been local showers, but nothing that would at all break the drought. As a result, there are no more peas and the gladioli are being held back. Asters are appearing in one color, white, in small numbers. They are selling readily, however. There are still a few carnations to be seen and, in spite of the poor summer quality, they bring $5 or $6 per hundred. There is a good supply of lilies of all kinds at present. They are fetching about 10 cents on the average. We CUDE BROS.CO. FLORISTS 1214 r 3TNW YVASMINOTONDC WASHINGTON. D.

Joe Brown, of the Lischey Nursery and Greenhouses, is removing three old houses and replacing them with two modern ones. His business has been ex- tremely good this season. Geny Bros, are cutting some good asters at present. They say that they have been quite busy lately. The Joy Floral Co. is cutting gladioli freely at present. The company has the Skinner system of irrigation on most of its land and so is not suffering from the drought. Mclntyre Bros, have been making some improvements on their new place this summer. This firm is the oldest in the city and one of the oldest in the country, having remained in the same family uninterruptedly. They say that their business is growing in a healthy way right along.

An idea of the size of the spring busi- ness of the JewfeU Nursery Co., Lake City, Minn., may . be gained from the weight of *its shipments, which were 2,- 000,000 pounds freight, 33,375 pounds ex- press and 1,500 pounds parcel post. SETAILEBS' PROTECTIVE. The American Betail Nurserymen's Protective Association held its annual meeting at . Portland during the joint convention of the American Association of Nurserymen and the Pacific Coast Nurserymen 's Association. A year of successful effort was shown by the re- ports and officers were reelected, as fol- lows: President— H. W. Marshall, of Mar- shall Bros., Arlington, Neb. Vice-president — B. J. Greening, of the Greening Nursery Co., Monroe, Mich. Secretary and treasurer — Guy A. Bry- ant, of Arthur Bryant & Son, Prince- ton, ni. QOOD AUTUMN COBIING. ' ' Especially ornamentals. ' ' Time after time one will hear those words usefl by nurserymen who are talking of the stock that was in request last sea-, son, or the lines they expect to have a big run on next season. This is from C. M. Hobbs & Sons, Bridgeport, Ind. "The demand for stock this seasori has been about as usual. We did not have so much to offer, on account of the dry summer and severe winter of two years ago. We had little first-class stock left on our hands after the ship- ping season was over. "We cannot tell what the sales will be for fall at the present time, but from the general outlook we believe they will be better vnth us than this spring. Ap- ple and peacli geemed to be slow sale in the last springl^ason, but most other stock, especially ornamentals, was in great demand. We look for a good fall delivery. ' * MISSOXTBI INSPECTION I.AW. The attention of nurserymen, agents and dealers in fruit trees and general nursery stock is called to the inspec- tion law which was passed by the Mis- souri legislature last winter. This new law becomes effective this summer, and all interested in the growing, selling, shipping, importing and pla^nting of fruit trees, vines, shrubs and other nurs- ery stock should write to the chief in- spector of nurseries and orchards, Co- lumbia, Mo., for a copy of the law and instructions as to how to comply with its provisions. The law requires that all growers of nursery stock in Missouri apply to the chief inspector before July 1 for an inspection of their stock. This applies to all growers, large and small, whether the stofk is shipped, sold locally or used for home orchards or for public parks. This in- spection will be made during the months of July, August and September, .and growers will prevent unnecessary delay and extra expense to themselves if they notify the chief inspector at once. All dealers in nursery stock must ap- ply for a dealer 's certificate in case they grow no stock, but buy and sell. Also all agents for Missouri nurseries or for nurseries in other states, who sim- ply take orders, must apply for an agent's certificate and file necessary papers. QOOD MAIL OBDEB SEASON. "The spring season of 1913 was one of the most satisfactory in the history of the Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co.," according to A. B. Howell, mail order manager at the big plant at Louis- iana, Mo., and that means something, for the business goes back to 1816 and has, consequently, seen ninety-seven spring seasons. 'We made the closest clean-up we have made for years," adds Mr. Howell. "The large commer- cial planter was not so much in evi- dence as usual, but the home orchard planter bought much more largely. "In apple and one or two other lines there was a little surplus over the coun- try and we noticed considerable price cutting in different sections. However, we held our prices up and practically cleaned up our stock at regular cata- logue prices. "As to the coming season, it is just a little bit hard to judge, but indications are for a good business in all lines." FLOODS HELD BESFONSIBLE. The March inundation, according to W. C. Eeed, of Vincennes, Ind., was at least partly responsible for the falling off of business this season in the section north of the Ohio and east of the Mis- sissippi. That the business was not up to the usual volume is the general re- port, but in most cases other causes are alleged. "It is partly due to the floods," said Mr. Eeed, "for they de- moralized shipping for about two weeks. Cherry trees cleaned up closely, with a tendency toward higher prices. Apple and peach showed some surplus in some varieties, while plum and pear were decidedly scarce. Prospects for the coming season are good. Buds and older stock are making a splendid growth, better than for several years. Cherry promises to make up well, but the supply is not nearly so large as usual. Of peach the supply is not so heavy as usual in this section, with a heavy demand, owing to a good crop of peaches. Apple trees are in somewhat larger supply than usual, with the pros- pect for a fair crop of fruit. ' ' A GOOD SEASON AT BBYANT'S. So many nurserymen found the 1913 spring season not so good as usual that it is a pleasure to hear an occasional man say it was the best yet. And when this report comes from such a firm as Arthur Bryant & Son, Prince- ton, ni., it means something, for the concern dates back to 1845. This is what Guy A. Bryant says: ' "Belative to the seiiaon's (business, will say that it has been good, espe- cially in shrubs and oi^namentals of all kinds. Our sales were much' larger tlian usual. There was a heavy surplus in apple and peach all '■ over ^the^ country and, as a consequence, many of them were unsold and found their way to the brush pile. Other fruit trees were in good demand and few were left at the close of the season's business. We made about our usual planting of grafts and fruit stocks and a heavier planting of ornamental stock. The prospects are for a good demand in all lines during the coming season." CONSEBVATISM IN OBDEB. That the trade will cut down its pro- duction, especially on certain classes of fruit trees, and increase on ornamentals is the view of E. S. Welch, proprietor of Mount Arbor Nurseries, 'Shenandoah, la. This is the situation . as he sizes it up: . / "We find, in comparing this year's business with last, that our volume is about the same. Collections to date have been fair, and stock has generally given excellent satisfaction. Conditions seem to have been favorable for growth, and we anticipate good stands among our customers. "We have noted a healthy increase in the sales of ornamental stock, which has made up for the shrinkage in sales of fruits, especially apple and peach. Thpre was considerable surplus in these, I'esulting in low prices before the sea- son's trade was over. . "The outlook for future business ap- pears encouraging to us, although I think buyers will be conservative and there will be a tendency among nur- serymen to reduce their plantings." THE PENNSYLVANIA BILL. The bill recently introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature is a most in- genious device for compelling nursery- men to dq what few of them are willing to do — ^guarantee stock after it has left their hands; and not only to guar- antee it while in the hands of others, but to back the guarantee with a bond. But let Wm. Pitkin tell it; he is chair- man of the legislative committee of the A. A. N.: "Within a few days I have received a copy of a bill introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature which is in- tended to provide a method whereby the planter or grower in Pennsylvania may be protected from damages result- ing from planting trees not trur to name. In substance, the law proAide' that any nurseryman may file with th« secretary of agriculture a bond oi $2,000 or more, which bond shall he held for indemnity in case any growef can show that he has been damage^ by falsely labeled trees. If he ct^ show such damage he will be entitle" to $1 per tree for each year between the date of planting and the date o' I M SvhY 8, 1918.

It provides, however, that before such method goes into opera- tion against the nurseryman the pur- chaser shall have informed the seller, before buying, that he wishes to buy in accordance with this indemnity plan, and at the same time the buyer must inform the secretary of agriculture of the number and kind of trees that he has purchased, and the name and ad- dress of the nurseryman. It is then the duty of the secretary of agricul- ture, provided the nurseryman has filed such a bond, to furnish the nursery- man, at the expense of the purchaser, with indemnity tags, to be placed on the trees when they are shipped to the purchaser, and when the purchaser re- ceives the trees and plants them he is then to remove the labeli^ and at- tach them to a stake driven into the ground beside the trees. Then, within a week from the time of planting, the purchaser must send to the secretary of agriculture, and also to the nurseryman, a chart of the orchard, showing the exact location of each tree. This chart is to be checked up by an inspector of the agricultural department within six months from time of planting. "When the labeled trees first produce fruit, if the owner doubts the accuracy of the labeling, he must notify the secretary of agriculture, who shall cause the bearing tree to be inspected, and if anything wrong is found in it the or- chardist can bring suit and collect against the bond for an amount equal to $1 per tree for each year since the original planting. "There is nothing in the bill which, if it becomes a law, will compel the nurseryman to give bond and thus in- sure his trees, but the law makes it the duty of t'le secretary of agriculture 'to report to all inquirers and make special published mention, at least once per year, of all nurserymen who shall take advantage of this opportunity to bond themselves in Pennsylvania, and no grower shall make claim for dam- ages under this act who has not pur- chased his trees of a properly bonded dealer.

Then the purchaser may detach and fasten them to a stake driven in the ground near the trees, and then send a chart of his premises to the secre- tary of agriculture and the nursery- man, which chart is to be checked up and verified by an inspector at any time within six months from date of planting. We fail to see what pro- tection the nurseryman has between Ijhe time the purchaser receives the trees and the date he sends the chart to the secretary of agriculture. During that time he can mix up the labels, and the nurseryman has no guarantee that the labels and the chart agree with the labels as attached at the nursery. It certainly is an unwise and dangerous piece of legislation, which, if enacted, would tend to drive every responsible nurseryman out of the state." cu:vi:i.AND, o. The Market. Torrid weather has played havoc with cut stock. Carnations are still good for this date, but not as firm as they have been. Good, tight roses are scarce, most of the stock on the market being open. Outside stock is excellent. Shasta daisies, coreopsis, larkspur, rambler roses, gypsophila, etc., are coming into the market in large quantities and sell well. Valley has had a good call; large funeral orders last week, coming at the same time as the late June weddings, created a brisk demand. Green goods are in fair supply. Various Notes.

There ■was a good run on work for weddings during the latter part of June and there were a few good-sized decorations; these, with a sprinkling of funeral work now and then, helped to make a fair showing for June. For several days the outdoor stock has been suffering badly from the intense heat, as well as from the dry weather. Eoses are fair, con- sidering all the conditions, and the sup- ply is about equal to the demand. The demand for Beauties has dropped off, as well as the supply, and the quality has been rather low. Carnations are still to be had, but the quality is poor and the prices have fallen accordingly. A good deal of the old carnation stock has been taken out of the benches and the growers are getting things in shape for another season's planting. Sweet peas are coming in from out- side and are of good quality in most cases. The demand for valley has been rather light since the decrease in the number of weddings in the latter part of June. There are still a few strag^ gling orders for window and porch boxes, with little stock left to fill them, as everybody has sold out closely m jthat line of plants.

In some stores, it was sold under the name of MIGNON ■ •» SWEETHEART The real name of the rose is MME. CECIL BRUNNER and we believe we supplied all the cut buds except for one lot grown in the east from plants obtained from us last year. We shipped cut buds to New York, Chicago and many other cities. The rose was the hit of Fifth avenue and its fame spread throughout the country, resulting m a demand for the buds in every store that caters to the good trade. It is in great request for corsage bouquets, Colonial bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. Appreciating that because of our distance from the largest markets we can not handle the demand for cut buds, we have prepared to supply young plants to growers who know a money-making novelty when they see it. 20,000 PLANTS NOW READY IN FINE CONDITION 2X-m. pots, $10.00 per 100; $80.00 per 1000. 3-iii. pots, $15.00 per 100; $120.00 per 1000 E.

The hot weather here last week is having its effect on stock generally, although roses and carnations are still fairly good and the month's business has been quite satisfactory, from all reports. In the wholesale district, stock is shortening up considerably, but with fine gladioli, lilies, valley and fairly good roses and carnations, the whole- salers feel that they will be able to take good care of trade until the sea- son starts in autumn. The retailers are finishing up their weddings and ar- ranging their vacation schedules and there is not much to say about them. The extreme heat last week got to all shipped stock, Beauties and peas suf- fering the most. Various Notes. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is re- ceiving some exceptionally fine Amer- ica gladioli.

Last week there were a good many weddings, which materially increased the florists' business. There was much, also, to be done in the way of funeral orders. Several large farewell parties given by the schools brought an un- usually large demand for corsage bou- quets. These three items combined kept the florists busy and made it pos- sible for each one to report a most satisfactory week. Flowers are as plen- tiful as they usually are at this season of" the year and are of good quality, considering the extremely hot weather. ' The entire month of June was a busy one for Dayton florists and all feel much satisfied with results. The weather throughout the month has been hot and dry. Various Notes. Joseph I. Schaeffer has reported right along that his trade this spring was the best he had experienced since being in business. He has recently verified his statements by purchasing a fine new five-passenger automobile. The Advance Floral Co. had an ex- tremely pretty display of cattleyas last week. One handsome specimen had nine blooms on it. Miss Elsie Bartholomew spent last week in Lima, O., as a delegate -to the Ohio State C. E. Convention. Miss Bertha Cornwall, of Harper, Kan., is a guest at the home of Mrs. Ruby Leslie for the month of July. A fine new white-enameled refriger- ator is the latest addition to the Main street store of the Heiss Co. since the flood. The other refrigerator was washed out of the store during the flood. Besides numerous large funeral or- ders, W. G. Matthews had an unusually brisk demand last week for corsages, which were used in the farewell parties at the high schools. Mrs. B. Haschke speaks quite favor- ably of last week's business. Funeral work was the chief factor. M. D. Schmidt & Son also had an encouraging business last week. D. J. Adsit, of Jamestown, O., was in town June 30 with a large order of plants for the National Cash Kegister Co. Mr. Adsit states that this order cleaned up all his bedding plants, and he furthermore says that his bedding plant trade has been exceptionally fine this season. The greenhouse department of the National Cash Eegister Co. has used great quantities of plants this sea- son in beautifying the city and covering up much of the damage caused by the flood. E. A. L.

The range of Mr. Yonker covers a ground space of one square acre, and the glass exposure of these houses Is In the neighborhood of 54.180 square feet. The entire plant Is heat-d by the No. IB Kroesihell Boiler. We challenge any t)oller roanufa'turer or his agent to equal thn fuel economy of the KroescheU at Mils place. OKT THK KROESCHELL BOILER, IT IS MADE RIGHT AND HONESTLY RATED. EMPHATICALLY YES! THE KROESCHELL GIVES ENTIRE SATISFACTION. Your No. 16 Boiler has been able to take care of the houses very easily. We use Pocahontas coal, mine run. This coal should be fired with an intermission from one to not more than three hours to trlve the \teat results. "Does the boiler give entire (atlsfactlon?" We will state emphatically: Yes! It ha* griven perfect satisfaction. In regard to the plpintr system, would say that we do not see any room for Improvement. Also in this case we are perfectly ratlsfled. We noticed that the clrcnlation In your boiler tube piping system Is much quicker than the old •J-lnch plplog systems, although the water travels at Kast twice the distance with the new system that It does In the oUI.

KANSAS CITY. The Market. Business last week was good, in spite of the intense heat. The outdoor flow- ers keep the market well supplied, ^weet peas are becoming less plentiful. <]|a,rnation8 havei ' been abundant, but spme of the growers have now dumped oyer half of their stock and are getting their benches ready for the planting of their young stock. Roses are still sell- ing well and are holding up well in quality, in spite of the heat. Gladioli seem to be the best sellers on the market. , > To Organize a Club. ' A petition for the purpose of organ- izing a florists ' club in this city is being passed around to obtain florists' signa- tures. The club is intended for the bettering of the conditions in the flo- rists' trade in this city. Please be a progressive and do not wait till "the other man" signs, because it will be impossible to secure many signatures at that rate. The petition will be at the store of the Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., 1122 Grand avenue, till July 9; after that date it will be at the store of Henry Kusik & Co., 1016 McGee street. It all depends upon your signa- ture, whether or not we shall have a club. Every florist in the city please sign, as you are wanted in the club. Various Notes. A. F. Barbe is building three green- houses, 140 feet long, and expects to build more this summer if he can get these finished soon enough. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Ellsworth own some land adjoining Forest Lake, west of the city, and are making a most en- joyable use of it. They go out there every morning and come back in the evening, and the fishing is said to be good. The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. says that cut flower stock is scarce at the greenhouses. The firm has torn down five old greenhouses and will re- place them with four new ones, cover- ing the same extent of space. • Mr. Thomas, of this firm, is away on vaca- tion. .' •• • Henry Kusik & Co. report business as being quiet, except in the wire and supply department, where there is a rush to get orders out on time. Gladioli have been their best sellers, though rpses are, still in good demand. • The W. L. Eo3c Flower Co. had a busy week. Funeral work was the heaviest item. Fred Fromhold, of this firpi, is on a three weeks' vacation. Samuel Murray was exceedingly busy ^ecorating last week and also had some nice funeral work. Arthur Newell has been busy all this week with funeral work and decora- tions. He decorated for the first wed- ding ever held in the Elks' club rooms here and the decoration was one of the largest of the season. G. E. Shuman, of Ardmore, Okla., ■4-inch. ^ FITTINGS, VALVES.

The Market. "* This market has juat passed through a week of commencements and wed- dings, as practically all the schools had their graduations last week. The wed- dings were numerous, but there were no particularly large ones. Roses are scarce; since the coming of hot weather the price has almost doubled. Carna- tions are really wonderful for this time of the year. Cattleya gigas was in great demand last week. Sweet peas are getting scarce. Garden flowers are plentiful and find ready sale for vari- ous functions. Sweet-williams and lark- spurs are used a great deal now for decorating, etc. A considerable amount of funeral work recently has added its quota to the volume of June business. There are no blooming plants to be had just now. Various Notes. Miss May French visited SuflSeld, Conn., last week. Window boxBS, vases and tubs, filled with blooming plants, vines, etc., and placed in the windows and other re- cesses of some of the leading business places, have called forth much comment as to the effort Springfield is making to beautify its business section. The father of Carl Meacham^ of the firm of Meacham & Hassell, passed away June 24. Richard Campbell, of the Flower Shop, sang at the funeral. Superintendent Clark, of the depart- ment of streets, advocates the abolition of tree belts where the streets are nar- row and the grassy strips between the sidewalk and the curb cannot be kept in good condition. He contends that the tree belt in such cases detracts from, instead of beautifying, the -street. John Donaldson will take a two weeks' vacation early in July. Miss Taylor has left the employ of N. F. Higgins. Mark Aitken and family have moved from Glen road to Magnolia terrace. He has sold his home on Glen road. Miss Sidonie Fischer leaves July 3 for a week 's vacation. A. N.

The de- mand for cut flowers is gradually fall- ing off and it looks as though the regu- lar summer business had come to stay. There is plenty of stock of all kinds to be had and the prices have dropped about one-half. In fact, it is a case of take what you can get without losing a sale. The funeral of a prominent young man in town was held June 25, to which there were sent many handsome floral tributes. Every flower shop here was represented and a number of designs came by express from out-of-town florists. The closing exercises of the city high school, June 26, were the last of the season. For a side-line at this time of year the retailer has a steady demand for reed and colored raffia, as many of the young people spend their idle time at and take a great interest in basket weaving. Various Notes. W. A. Hammond, of West Orange street, received a good funeral order June 26, over the wire from a New Eng- land state. The Rosery flower shop, on .West King street, has the windows neatly decorated with ferns and foliage plants, which make the shop cool and airy looking. At H. A. Schroyer's there are some attractive baskets of outdoor flowers which catch the passers-by. Barr & Co. have the finest summer window decoration that has ever been shown in the city.

No other wood will withstand the action of the elements like Cypress; all the most notable endurance records in the history of shingles were made by Cypress shingles. Bead from the report of the U. S. Gov't., in Bulletin No. 95, Forest Service, Department of Agriculture: A shingle roof on a house at Greenwich, Conn., was said to have lasted 250 years; another in Brooklyn, N. Y., was recorded to have lasted 228 years, and still another at Clifton, Staten Island, was still doing business after 200 years of continuous service. Cypress shingle roofs at New Orleans, La., that are 100 years old are no curiosity — plenty of them. There is no discount on a Cypress shingle roof.

The Florists^ Review DOLLAR BOXES and sg Mf SUMMER SALES UEING the slack summer months the enterprising re- tailers are on the lookout for special sales ideas to keep moving as large a vol- ume of business as possible. One of the best that has been devised is that of dollar boxes. Many florists use these boxes to draw business the year around; some make them a regular line, but others only advertise them as bargain attractions for certain days. When there is a superabundance of stock on the market, par- ticularly of roses, carna- tions, and the like, the boxes may be made up and sold at a fair profit. On the other hand, if the line is made a permanent one, the florist may be forced to make up his dollar boxes with little profit when prices are high. But in the summer, when business is slack and flowers plentiful and cheap, this objection i will not arise. The retailer who wishes I to use this means of keep- ing up his trade in the hot months may handle it in [ either of two ways. He may make it a special sum- mer feature and run it Istraight through the months I of July and August, adver- tising it broadcast as a [summer bargain, or he may use it only on occasional •lays, either those of his own choice, as they go by, or for a fixed day of each week. I Necessity of Advertising. >v j In any case the necessity ^ of advertising will be the <. . same. Strong advertising V in the best local paper is 111 u°^^ means of making I the boxes a paying proposi- tion. Florists located on I'^usy streets in the large jcities can draw many cus- Itomers from those passing, |by means of attractive win- dow display. Perhaps they can catch enough business tbat way to be able to make *°® "dollar boxes a success Without using the newspapers, but those ^n ^".{''^^"nately situated must depend i^pon the newspapers to advertise tha aoxes. Anyway, the quickest method is r ."s®. ,^ strongly designed or at least a T^eu Illustrated advertisement in the Best paper of the town. It not only will Fpread the news of the oflPer among all Pid customers but bring it to the at- Innvi*'" • ™*°y ™o''e besides. The ac- rompanying illustration shows a particu- KnL u'^'^S advertisement used Te- KL%5' ^«^« ^^?^% «f Los "geies, Cal., to advertise his dollar boxes. The original was four columns wide and ten inches deep. A designed advertisement like this, made from a pen-and-ink drawing, catches the eye and clings in the memory better than almost any arrangement of type alone would do. Usually one of the most important items to put in a conspicuous place in an advertisement of this kind is the telephone number. A good many re- tailers depend only a little on the ac- tual callers at the store. The number Satur 4 A>f Special electe perlti resented ai6 W- 6»>» St of customers who make their purchases in person, with many stores, is only a small per cent of the whole. Th^ florist makes a name for himself through his goods or his advertising — presumably both — and the customers give their or- ders over the telephone, leaving the details to the good taste of the florist. It is of the utmost importance, there- fore, that an advertisement bringing no- tice of a new feature and biddiag for a ik«« oH^tele should have the tele- p)M>Ae ttttiuVer is a most noticeable posi- tion. A line or two, in addition, call- ing attention to the telephone and de- livery service of the establishment will not be misplaced. Window Displays Bring Business. Although the larger part of the ad- ^vertising of such a feature as dollar boxes probably must be through the newspapers, a good deal can be accom- plished by means of attractive window displays, A few boxes made up in the most pleasing style and placed in~"the foreground of the window display wilK draw attention to the spe- cial feature. Cards bearing appropriate inscriptions will add to the effectiveness of the display. The flowers used will, of course, be those which are most plentiful at the mo- ment. Almost anything can be used, except that garden flowers, like asters, must not predominate. Boses and carnations are the sta- ples, of course. One of the special advantages of the dollar box is that it offers a means of disposing of short-stemmed flowers. The number to the box depends entirely upon the kind, quality and cost of stock available and varies from a • half-dozen to two or three dozen. If good Beauties with short to medium stems are used, the number, need- less to say, will approach the former; if short Killar- neys cut from young stock, such as are plentiful just now, make up the box, the number may be the latter. In summer the Killarneys probably form the bulk of the boxes. Sweet peas, snap- dragons, carnations, pan- sies, violets, mignonette, daffodils, jonquils, stevia, etc., are used for variety during their seasons. The enterprising florist will make endless combinations. Keeps Business Moving. The primary advantage of the use of dollar boxes is that it keeps stock mov- ing and gives employment to members of the store force who would otherwise be idle. Aside from a certain amount of funeral work there is not much doing in the hot months. The store must be kept going, however, and employees are still getting wages. It is only good business that the investment should be made to yield as much as pos- sible, and, moreover, it is highly de- sirable to keep the people in the habit of buying flowers as regularly as pos- sible, even though the margin of profit upon the business is not large. The profit upon dollar boxes it not great, ^ The Florists^ Review Jl'i.V 10, 1!)13. but it counts large in the dull summer months. If well advertised, the busi- ness should take care of a good amount of stock and make the shop present a fairly busy appearance, which, in itself, is always profitable. Formerly one of the drawbacks to the trade in dollar boxes was the ex- pense of delivery. The small margin on these orders was often much more than eaten up by the cost of a single de- livery to a distant part of the city. Eecently Uncle Sam has removed that handicap. The parcel post will handle these -scattered deliveries as well as a messenger boy or automobile. The nom- inal local rate of postage and a special delivery stamp carry the package in quick time and as well as the more ex- pensive modes of delivery. The parcel post has in this way made dollar boxes more profitable than before as a busi- ness line. Advertising Possibilities. More valuable than the profit they bring are the advertising possibilities of the dollar boxes. By heavily advertis- ing his dollar boxes for a certain sea- son or for certain days the florist at- tracts the notice of people who have not before known of him, and he gains customers who have not before bought in his store. These j)eople receive good value in the dollar boxes, and appre- ciate it. Another time thgy will come for larger and 'more profitable work and in time come to be regular customers of the florist who caught their eyes with a summer bargain attraction. Another and quite as profitable re- sult of dollar boxes is the creation of new flower buyers. Cut flowers are liked and desired by many people who forego them because they consider them an extravagant luxury. They treat themselves to many other extrava- gances, but are not in the habit of buying flowers. To them, however, a bargain is a bargain, and the sight of a box of flowers to be had for a dollar makes many of them purchasers. A few, perhaps, will always look for dol- lar boxes, but the larger number will come in time to buy flowers for many special occasions and will add them- selves to the list of regular customers. Thus the dollar box is an educational as well as an advertising and a business feature. ORCHIDS AND VALLEY. The accompanying wreath of orchids and valley was the work of the Fleisch- man Floral Co., Chicago. It was made on a base of Mexican ivy and, with some small cycas leaves and suitable ribbon, made a rich and beautiful ar- rangement. NEW PAECEL POST RULE. Every few days the postoffice depart- ment makes some modification of the parcel post regulations, so that the sys- tem rapidly is getting into such shape that florists can use it to advantage. Plants and seeds pay the same old rates, but get all the other advantages. Cut flowers, supplies, etc., taka the zone rates. With special delivery and the use of ordinary stamps the sysj^em is much better than at the start. Now, also, a new rule with regard to insur- ance is in force, as follows: "A mailable parcel on which the postage is fully prepaid may be insured agai]}st loss in an amount equivalent to Wreath of Orchids and Valley. its actual value, but not to exceed $25, on payment of a fee of 5 cents, and in an amount equivalent to its actual value in excess of $25, but not to exceed $50, on payment of a fee of 10 cents in stamps, such stamps to be affixed. The amount of the insurance fee shall be placed on the receipt given the sender and on the coupon retained at the mail- ing office." A KANSAS CITY DECORATION. The illustration on page 7 repre- sents what was probably the largest wedding decoration ever arranged in Kansas City. The occa,sion was the Rieger-Zimmerman wedding, which oc- curred at the Independence Boulevard Christian church June 14. The photo- graph was somewhat of a disappoint- ment to Mr. Carter, of the William L. Rock Flower Co., who executed the deco- ration. On account of improper staging the photographer failed to bring out the size of the chancel, which held the arrangement. Three hundred plants, l,00t) lilies, 3,000 Dorothy Perkins roses and 1,000 peonies were some of the flowers which were used. The decorations at the house were on the same scale, including many orchids, pots of bougaihvillea, caladiums, hy- drangeas, American Beauties, hundreds of Ward roses and delphiniums. Twenty- four people were in the wedding party and the bouquets were probably as handsome a lot as ever was arranged for a Kansas City wedding. RUTS. Up in North Dakota, we have heard tell, the roads are most excellent, but for one thing — ruts. There is no dust, because the Dakota winds look after that by-product of travel. Mud, too, is a quantity to be left out of the reckoning. The bane of the North Dakota road is the rut, the common, garden variety of rut. Complaint, not loud but deep, like the ruts, takes possession of the Dakotan's soul as his automobile wheels seek the ruts and the vital anatomy of his ma- chine is swept away by the mound be- tween. Or he may be marooned on this same hump as his engine races merrily on, availing nothing. Ruts are a nuisance, anywhere. We all are bound to get into them, and we wonder why they, and mosquitoes, were invented. The successful driver of an automo- bile or a business is he who avoids the ruts and drives full speed ahead on the smooth pathway on either side. For just as driving outside the Dakota ruts is most excellent, so we may drive outside the ruts which beset us in our business. And we know what ruts are, our- selves. A FLORIST'S INVENTION. Florists who ship funeral work and know, therefore, the difficulty of fast- ening designs securely and quickly to the bottoms of the boxes in which they are shipped, will be glad to learn of »" invention by W. C. Scovell, a florist of Malta, O.

It has a groove in the inner face Vf the jaws, which shows most notice- Ibly in the one at the left. In this kroove is placed a staple, or double- leaded tack, as is shown at the right in Ihe illustration. The staple is placed Vver a wire of the base on the bottom kf the box, a prong on each side, and keld firmly by the pliers, while a few Iharp taps of a hammer on the end of Ihe pliers drives the tack in place.

On the other hand, many of the fine single varieties keep much cleaner under glass. They are benefited by a light shade during extremely hot weath- er; heavy stiade draws them too much and produces soft growth. WOBMS IN BENCHES. Will you please tell me the cause of worms in soil on benches? I have had them so thick that the soil was alive with them. A. J. L. The worms usually come in the ma- nure. They can be destroyed by soak- ing the benches with clear lime water, by dropping carbon bisulphide in holes twelve to eighteen inches apart each way, a small teaspoonful in each hole, immediately covering after applying it, or by watering with one of the reme- dies which exterminate larvae in the soil. Vermine, used at the rate of one part to 300 parts of water, will be found effective. Before filling your benches, if you could sterilize your soil all in- sects and weed seeds would be de- stroyed. If this can not be done use the carbon bisulphide or Vermine. C. W. Flushing, N. Y.— The J. M. Keller Co. has purchased the business of William Pankok, at Whitestone, L. I.

The Special Treatment Needed. My southern observation has been confined to a district in Tennessee, near the southern boundary of that state, and has extended over a period of one year, from July 1, 1912, to the mo- ment when I am writing this article. Though Tennessee is not in the extreme south and though the city in which I -am sojourning is only the "gateway to the south," yet for me and for the carnation, both of northern habits and culture, this state is south enough to make us dream ' longingly of white flakes and ice-covered lakes, and this ■"gateway" is hot enough to make any northerner leap back, in thought at least, all the way to the north pole. 1 am ^hus stating the case, not with the least intention to criticise the south and its climate, but simply to give some idea of the conditions which carnation growers must meet. Stem-rot in the South. When I first came to the south the people told me that the carnations here were severely attacked by stem-rot. Often before the blooming season was over, half of the benches would be devastated by the disease. At first thought, one would infer that here in the sunny south the carnations would Buffer the least from this disease. Wherein lies the cause? This was the first question that occupied my mind. The soil here cannot be the sole cause of the trouble. The land has good drainage and the necessary nourishment. If in some places it lacks lime, this can easily be supplied. The climate, on the other hand, cannot directly en- courage the fungus to multiply and spread. The fungus would be more likely to thrive in a damp and cool at- mosphere. Anyway, the stem-rot fungus in the south can not enjoy more liberty than in the north. The virulence of the fungus spore here is far less than in the north. Less Resistance to Disease. Then I came to the conclusion that the cause of the stem-rot must be found in the plant itself, and only there. And this is the reason: When the carna- tion,, with its northern habits, is brought to the south, it undergoes a physiological change in its cell struc- ture, as I shall try to show farther on. To a great extent, the cell loses its vigor; it becomes less immune; in other words, its resisting power against dis- ease is diminished. The carnation cell loses more of its vigor than does the fungus spore. That is why the fungus, though less virulent than in the north, is more dangerous here in the south. Seen Under a Microscope. I am particularly interested in the study of the plant cells. I sincerely believe that there, and only there, are hidden all the mysteries of life yet to be revealed in our modern biological laboratories. With this idea in view, I made several microscopical observa- tions, using a compound microscope, with a power varying from forty to The Editor is pleased when a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In HtVfc^ As experience Is the best teacher, so do w^e learn fastest by an exchanee of experiences.

BK GLAD TO HKAB FROM TOU 975 diameters, and a micrometer eye- piece. I compared the size of the cells in southern and northern Enchantress. During October and April the cell of the southern Enchantress was smaller, with a thicker cell wall and proportion- ately less protoplasm than in the north- ern plant. An examination of the epidermis has shown that the stomata, or breathing pores, of the southern carnations, are smaller than in the plants from the north. Only during January did the cells and stomata of both southern and northern carnations approach each other in structure and size. Watering in the South. So my few early microscopical ob- servations have convinced me that the carnation cell here in the south is active and that all the processes of di- gestion and assimilation are therefore slower. From this reasoning a natural conclusion followed: That the cama tions must be treated in a most tern perate way, with caution in watering and extreme caution in feeding, will sound strange to say that We, under the scorching sun, the man with the hose must be more careful than ii the north, especially during the first period after housing the plants. Fre quently I allowed the benches to re main almost dry and, qn an average. I used less water here than in the north; I mean during the fall and winter. Feeding in the South. As to feeding, I must say that nfr where in the United States can tht gospel of temperance be more useful than here in the south. By this prin ciple I was governed throughout tht year. Nowhere else can strong stim" lants do more harm to carnations thai here in the south. Weak liqjiid manure applied often, and bone meal once i' three weeks or a month, are sufficient Of course, once in a great while a tie nitrate or sulphate will be of gresi service. But beware of doping! Liquid manure and bone meal to the exten' mentioned, however, will never give tl' plants stomach trouble.

' Cold storage valley should easily come into flower within three weeks of the time named. As the weather usually is quite warm in September, no bottom heat should be necessary. Keep the pips dark until the spikes are fairly well advanced; then gradually give more light in order to get some foliage and better substance in the flowers. c. w: THE FABMINQTON GBEENHOUSES. The three greenhouses recently built by the Farmington Greenhouse Co., at Farmington, Mich., which are shown in the pictures on this page, are each 20x 100 feet and of pipe frame construction. When the photographs were taken the houses were vacant; now they are all planted to cucumbers. Plans are now being made for another three houses, doubling the space under glass, and for a plant house in addition. When these buildings are completed cut flowers as well as vegetables will be grown. The products of these greenhouses find an excellent market in Detroit, which is eighteen miles away. The manager of the plant is Edgar H. Steele, who was formerly manager of the Black Hall Greenhouses, at Black HaJl, Conn., and also of the Andrews Estate Greenhouses, of Elmwood, Conn.

On some the leaves ;■ ° P;*\n green; on others they are va- u^:- "• ^- Savitzii and Souvenir de are among the most satisfactory bedders. These plants root easily from tender shoots or can be grown from seeds. In ageratums there are many colors, but the dark blue is the best. The com- pact kinds have the preference and give excellent satisfaction as bedding plants for a sunny situation. They can be grown cheaply from seed and also from cuttings, which can be potted up with- out rooting them in the sand. They grow into salable plants in a short time and can be sold at a reasonable price. Altemantheras still have some sale, but are not so much in demand as they used to be, when more carpet bedding was done. They are still used to some extent for borders around beds, where a low-growing plant is needed. Old clumps can be divided into small pieces, and the cuttings root readily if taken with a joint near the end. Grow the two colors, red and yellow. A Fine shade of Blue. Browallia speciosa major is not as much grown as it should be, for it will surely sell, since its color is a fine shade of blue that is not often seen. There is also a white one which is equally good and which, I believe, will sell equally well. They grow rapidly from seed and a small quantity of seed will sup- ply you with plenty of plants. In begonias, those of the semper- florens type are the ones you want to grow and you can recommend them to your customers as sure satisfaction- givers in the way of bedding plants, growing finely either in sun or shade. Plant the seed early and, if the plants are properly cared for, you will surely get your money back with plenty of profit, besides pleasing your customers. Caladium esculentum hardly needs more than the briefest mention. It is quite a showy plant when grown in rich soil and supplied with plenty of water. It is well' to recommend it to people who want a mass of foliage for tropical effect. The fancy-leaved caladiums are quite diflEerent from the large-leaved type, for they delight in a shady or half shady place and will there make a bed that can not fail to attract attention. They should be grown in an equal mix- ture of leaf-mold, soil and thoroughly rotted manure. In a soil of that kind they do' finely, indeed. Some Standbys in Cannas. In cannas the list of varieties is al- most endless and new sorts are con- stantly being added, some of which may be better than the majority of the older kinds. Still, some of the old standbys, such as Florence Vaughan, Mme. Crozy, Mont Blanc, Pennsylvania, and other equally well known sorts, seem to be with U8 to stay. It is well to try out a few new ones once in a while, as this helps to keep up the interest and you may occasionally strike something really good, which will bring more money for you. You can keep the old clumps over winter in any place where potatoes keep well. In spring they should be divided into one-eye pieces, started in moss or soil in a warm green- house and then potted into 3-inch pots and grown along into 4-inch, if that size is wanted. These make fine, salable plants and do well when planted out. Coleuses are used in endless quanti- ties, but as best sellers I would recom- mend Golden Bedder, Verschaffeltii, Queen Victoria and Beckwith's Gem. These kinds will meet about all the calls you will have for quantities. There are dozens of other sorts that can be sold in a small way, but they do not sell like the ones I have named. The fancy or large-leaved sorts are intended mostly for pots, as the wind breaks the leaves badly when they are exposed. Coleuses are easily rooted; in fact, the cuttings may be taken off almost any place and potted up, and they soon make nice plants.

For a Shady Location. Fuchsias are now more in demand than they >yere some years ago and they make fine bedding plants for a shady situation. They can readily be grown from cuttings, which should be taken quite early in the spring and potted along just as fast as they need the room. Geraniums are about the b6st selling bedding plants grown and I think the program committee should get a paper on them from some of the Lancaster geranium growers. Lantanas are among the showiest of bedding plants, making a great amount of growth and producing a fine lot of flowers. They now sell freely and at average prices. Since they are not hard to grow, I should think they might profitably be pushed more than they are. Use the dwarf kinds. Take cut- tings of the tender shoots early in spring and pot along as heeded. There is always some demand for that dainty plant, the lobelia. The com- pacta varieties are the ones to select. They are easily grown from seed, sown in early spring, and are potted along as needed. The Children's Favorite. When I think of pansies I can almost see the faces that ' seem to look at us out of the blossoms. I believe that if the children had a vote as to which is their favorite flower, the majority would vote for the pansy and it seems to be a general favorite among grown people also. There are many strains and I think it pays to get the best of the giants. The seed is planted at dif- ferent times, according to the purpose for which the plants are to be used. I always plant mine about the middle or last part of July, in good garden soil — not too rich, however, or it will bring the plants along too fast and they will get too long and straggly. The plants are ready for sale or for transplanting in September, when they can be planted in coldframes or out in the field, where they nearly always winter successfully. If you want them early, use the cold- frame. The plants of the bedding type are satisfactory when used in a mass for beds, but are of no account as single plants. In petunias the single sorts are the best that can be had for bedding. They are good sellers when in bloom and are easily grown from seed. It is well to have a good variety. Solid colors sell best, but you also need some variegated ones. The double petunias make nice bedding plants, but do not sell for that purpose as well as the single ones. I would recommend growing the double ones from cuttings. Booted cuttings are cheap if you do not care to carry the old stock over. Salvias in Three Heights. As to the salvia or scarlet sage, the many Varieties of this useful plant seem to confuse one, but they can be sifted down to three kinds, which will include Zurich for a dwarf sort. Bonfire or Clara Bedman for a semi-dwarf and splendens, the tall kind. Every florist who does any retail business needs these. They can be grown cheaply from seed and develop into plants quickly, allowing you to offer a nice plant at a reasonable price. Of coutse you handle verbenas. There are no plants that can make a finer bed than these and none that can be grown more cheaply. Hence they can be planted in large quantities and also by people who cannot afford many plants. The cheapest way to grow them is from seed, but you should buy the mammoth strain and in separate colors. They soon grow into salable plants. The vinca or Madagascar periwinkle, I think, should be better known, as it blooms so freely as to be literally cov- ered with flowers. It delights in the hot sun and grows about two feet high. Grow the three colors. Sow seed early in the new year, keep the plants potted along as needed and you will have nice plants to offer. These plants can also be recommended for cutting purposes, as all the flower buds open in water. It Pays to Qet the Best. Antirrhinums, or snaps as we call them for short, are highly satisfactory bedding plants, making a fine display. In purchasing antirrhinum seeds, or al- most any other seeds, it pays to get the best strain that can be had. The solid colors sell the best.

FLORISTS* PUBLISHING CO. 530-60 Caxton Bldg. Chicago you will find they are good sellers, espe- cially if you can get blooms on them. A florist would hardly call his stock of bedding plants complete without asters in the leading varieties. The demand does not' extend over a great variety of colors, but nearly all calls are for shell-pink, white, crimson and purple. Sweet alyssum can be sold in small quantities for borders around beds and boxes. It pays to have some on hand. Sowing the seed is the best and cheap- est way to get them. Chrysanthemums as Bedders. Chrysanthemums sell, of course, but do not sell the greenhouse sorts for bed- ding, except Golden Glow and Smith's Advance. These two are satisfactory; the others come into bloom too late and can not give satisfaction. Sell the hardy kinds, which can be grown read- ily from divisions or cuttings in spring, after growth starts. If you do not oare to put the cuttings in the sand, pot them up in sandy soil and nearly all of them will root. Dahlias are in demand for bedding and can be sold as dry bulbs or started and potted. If you are short on some good ones, start them early and take the young shoots off with a heel as they come; nearly all of them will root and will roon make good plants in pots. Heliotropes are among the most satis- factory of bedding plants, on account of their perfume, and are sold in good numbers. Being easy to grow, they soon become Large enough to sell freely. The dark blue is the best color, but you will also have some calls for white. Hardy Bedding Plants. In hardy bedding plants I can only name a few. Nearly all kinds listed in the leading catalogues have value, but those that I shall mention are among the best. All can be grown from seed except Anemone Japonica, which is grown easily from root cuttings and divisions and certainly is among the satisfactory hardy bedding plants. I should like to call your attention to Be- gonia Evansiana, called hardy begonia — and it is hardy. It really does not need any cover and it increases in beauty year after year. Get a couple of plants and save the bulblets which come on the plant and you will soon have a nice stock. It is one of the hardy plants that are worth while. Plant it in shade. Among the hardy bedders may also be mentioned Alyssun saxatile, aquilegia or columbine in vari- ety, Arabis alpina, bellis or English daisy, coreopsis, gaillardias, wallflowers, | hollyhocks, hardy phlox, English prim- roses, sweet-williams, and many, many | others. The soil can be any good pot- ting soil. TOMATOES. The benches in the house in which 1 grew roses last year are minus sides. ] but are still standing in good conditioD and I want to know about growing to- matoes on them. There are four I benches. The benches on the east and west sides of the house are four feeM across, and the center benches eight | feet. The house runs north and south. The east and west benches stand two I feet from the sides of the house, on which are return steam pipes. All the benches are eighteen inches from the ground. There is plenty of head room over the center benches: The side benches are four to eight feet from the roof. I can put on sides of any heigh' | necessary.

A week of intense heat and destruc- liye storms signalized the arrival of midsummer conditions in the cut flower barket. Business literally was at a Itandstill last week. There has been no Incouraging feature discernible in the liarket since the end of June; schools Ire closed, society is in Europe, or on Ts way there, or at the seashore, or the fountain resorts of the Catskills and Idirondacks; even the weddings are tew and far between; "nothing doing" ^ the almost universal verdict. The teamers still are sailing, fortunately, tad therein is a small relief from the revailing depression.

FANNY WAEENDORFF, of New York city, will celebrate her seventy- seventh birthday in September. "When asked to state her age a few days ago, she responded, "I am still 18." In view of her energy, her love for her business and her continuous interest in its progress, the claim rests upon a good foundation. Her present headquarters and home are in the Ansonia, one of the leading family hotels of New York, and there are few stores in the world that can compare withi her establishment there, the Ansonia Flower Shop. Mrs. Warendorff has long beem called "the mother of florists," and she hag the honor of furnishing six stalwart sons to the florists' industry, in its retail department. Her first store was at 115 Fourteenth street, east, next door to Steinway hall. From Fourteenth street she moved to Broadway, near Twenty-eighth street, where Alex. Warendorff bow presides. Her other sons have charge of stores at the following locations: In the Empire building, 71 Broadway; on Madison avenue, near Fifty-ninth street; i» the Liberty building, at Liberty and Nassau streets, and in the Ansonia hoteL Herman Warendorff is manager of the combined industries. Mrs. Warendorff'* grandsoif, a son of Joseph Fleischman, is at the head of the Fleischman store, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. Mrs. Warendorff is univer- sally respected, in the trade and out of it. It is hard to realize that this remark- able woman has passed the "three score and ten" limit, for she is still as active, alert and artistic as many a lady of half her age. She left for the White Moun- tains, New Hampshire, Jurite 30, to remain there till September. shipments of lilies continue daily; $20 per thousand would buy the best of them July 5. Valley also is down, little of it bringing over $2 per hundred. The usual variety of summer flowers con- tinues and much of this is never sold at any price. Only a part of the sweet peas sent in last week were sold and the discard has been getting more than its legitimate share. The supply of orchids continues abundant; 35 cents seems to be the limit for th^ finest of the gigas. ,Much of the stock sells be- low this and the lower grades can be purchased at $15 to $20 per hundred. The demand has shrunk to the lowest of the year to date. Various Notes. A goodly party will go to Boston on the boat Friday evening, July 11, to attend the meetings of the American Sweet Pea Society and the National Association of Gardeners. Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, are send- ing a specially fine lot of orchids to market at present. They sell their cut through George C. Siebrecht. John Young leaves this week for Minneapolis, to remain there until the close of the S. A. F. convention. L, W. Kervan is now at his home, fully restored to health, after his four weeks' hospital experience. Eussin & Hanfiin? took complete pos- session of their new store on West Twenty-eighth street July 1 and will devo e the next two months to neces- sary changes, removing their entire business to its permanent home Septem- ber 1. Mr. Hanfling returns from Eu- rope the last week in July. Donald Shagnon, aged 20 years, for- merly an employee of the Kervan Co. 14 The Florists^ Review Jolt 10, 1013. aim other wholesale florists, was killed by a West Shore railroad train July 5. John Stone, bookkeeper for the Ker- van Co., left last week, with his fam- ily^ for a holiday in Connecticut. Miss M. McCabe, bookkeeper for the Growers' Cvt Flower Co., leaves July 12 for a two weeks' vacation at Sharon Springs, N. Y. In the storm of July 5 three of James Weir's employees, Messrs. Hains, Yon- kers and Sullivan, were struck by light- ning while attending to their duties in Greenwood cemetery. Charles Hains was killed and the others rendered un- conscious, but they revived at the Nor- wegian hospital. Gerard Dreyer is receiving the usual congratulations on the advent of an heir. The Sunday closing movement seems to be an almost success. The "few who opened July 6 did so merely to care for early Sunday shipments, and not to offer anything for sale. The wholesale district is delighted to see C. C. Trepel on the street again after his two weeks' illness. He is looked upon as the good angel of surplus time and many a truck load he has saved from the debris during the trying weeks since Easter. Miss M. E. Conklin will spend her month's holiday at Monticello, N. Y. The young lady is bookkeeper for H. E. Froinent. Phil W. Ditzenberger, of the same wholesale house, leaves with his family next week for a two weeks' stay in the mountains. The seedsmen are taking it easy after the best all-round season in their his- tory. Catalogue work is about all that is left to do. Stumpp & Walter Co. has a busy two months ahead before the new store will be ready for occupancy. When altera- tions are completed there will be noth- ing better in the trade in this country. Max Schling's partner. A. M. Schieder, with Mrs. Schieder, is enjoy- ing a western holiday trip which will continue uj^til August 1. Arthur Hunt, formerly with A. H. Langjahr, who has been ill and away from the city for over a year, has re- turned in good health. Max Schling had a big and unique dinner decoration July 7, at which the table was made to represent the deck of a ship, with masts and funnels, and all in flowers. Mr. Schling closes his store at 5 p. m. during July and August. Wednesday, July 9, the annual out- ing of the Greek-American Florists' So- ciety took place at Wetzel's Grove, Col- lege Point, L. I. This society is am- bitious to excel and the attendance, as usual, was well above 500. The athletic contests wjre reminiscent of ancient Greece. National hymns and dances added to the enjoyment of the day. Messrs. Nicholas and Fellouris, with their faithful committees, were every- where in evidence. The wholesalers at- tended in even larger numbers than heretofore. A. L. Miller, of Jamaica, L. I,, has given Lord & Burnham Co. a contract for a greenhouse 28x200. Mr. Miller will build two others himself, using Lord & fiurnham plans and materials. Frank R. Verona, C. C. Trepel's con- fidential man, is rejoicing because of the stork 's visit last month with a 10-pound daughter. .J, Austin Shaw.

The July meeting of the Minneapolis Florists' Club was held Tuesday eve- ning, July 1, at the store of Rice Bros., 218 North Fifth street. The attendance was large and showed the interest the boys here are taking in their organiza- tion. Five new members were voted in. Theodore Wirth, chairman of the con- vention association, reported that all the committees were making exceed- ingly good headway on their work for the convention and that everything was practically completed. John Rovik, chairman of the baseball committee for the S. A. F., reported that suits had been prepared for his team bearing the inscription, "Minneapolis Florists' Club," and that the boys were practic- ing every Thursday evening and would be in readiness to give the "all star" team a taste of real baseball. A letter from Wm. F. Gude, chairman of the Wm. R. Smith Memorial commit- tee, was read by the secretary, and a subscription was voted and immediately forwarded to Mr. Gude. William Des- mond, president of the club, left on a two weeks' vacation to International Falls, Minn., immediately after the meeting and the members gave him a rousing send-off. C. F. R. TO DESTROY ROOT MAGGOTS. I should like to know what can be done to destroy root maggots which at- tack cabbages and radishes. My cab- bages were nearly all destroyed in the field this spring and my radishes arc mostly wormy. Would plowing the ground late in the fall and applying lime do any good! How does the mag- got get into the soilf Does it come from the egg of a small flyf J. K. Try Vermine for the root maggots. I have used this and found it effective against root maggots, cutworms, earth- worms, ants and other ground pests. This is a liquid and should be applied in the proportion of one gallon of Ver- mine to 320 gallons of water, or, in small quantities, two tablespoonfuls to a 12-quart can. It is most penetrating and telling in its effects if applied wheE the ground is tolerably moist. When the soil is dry, a great deal more liquid must be used to accomplish the sam^ results. Plow your land over in the fall. Leave it rough, and lime freely; then harro* it over. Gas lime, where procurable, ij excellent for applying to the soil to aid in clearing out pests of various kiads; .500 pounds per acre of this would suf- fice, but ground or air-slaked lime cat be applied at the rate of one or ''vei[ two tons per acre to really wormy land.

Tuesday, Jujy 8, when a petition in bankruptcy was filed. The assets listed total $52,000 and the liabilities only $16,000. According to Chambers, Taylor & Thomas, a firm of attorneys at St. Louis, who are inter- ested in the case, the amount to be realized on the assets will depend on the manner in which the estate is han- dled. The attorneys wire that Mr. Chambers will be in Memphis Saturday, July 12, and hopes to arrange a settle- ment. The Memphis Floral Co. has donp a large business for many years and was a heavy buyer in the Chicago market. C. H. Hune is president and manager.

The property sold for $2,000 and was bought by Oscar DeGraff, of Joplin, father of Mrs. Frank Finn. Mr. DeGraflf said today, after the sale, that ne had no plans as to the management •of the greenhouse, but would probably sell it after a little, when be got an opportunity. Frank Finn, who has been proprietor of the Finn greenhouse, is now traveling for a New York check protector manufacturer. Mt. Vernon, El.— Charles Edward Miller, who did a nice business here this spring, has left town without making his destination known to those with whom he had dealings. He secured pos- session of the Fred Reinlein property atter it was abandoned by that gentle- man and rebuilt two houses from mate- rial on the place, and some local mill- work, for which it is understood the mill man now is undertaking to hold the local bank and building and loan asso- ciation responsible.

AfI'er the Foaxth the summer is on the wane. Time to be thinking of fall business. Have you noticed how many hotels ad- vertise * ' Dining rooms kept at an even temperature by refrigerated air"? Well, why not keep greenhouses* cool in sum- mer the same way? The schedule for the fifth annual exhi- bition of the American Sweet Pea So- ciety, to be held at Boston, July 12 and 13, has been issued. Copies may be had by addressing Harry A. Bunyard. secre- tary, 342 West Fourteenth street, New- York. The trade in England has been deeply stirred by the announcement that with the retirement of Sir Harry J. Veitch, who has passed 70 years of age, the fa- mous nurseries of James Veitch & Sons, Ltd., will be sold out and the company cease to exist. One of the profit-making poii^ts about the Mrs. Ward rose is the fact that, being largely used for corsages, the short-stemmed flowers sell well. The grower does not have to sacrifice at least half his season's cut to get salable stems on the other half. The proceedings of the twenty-second annual meting of the American Carnation Society has been (hailed to members by Secretary Baur. In addition to -a report of the sessions and exhibition at New- York in March, it contains list of mem- bers, list of contributors to the Dorner memorial fund, list of registrations, etc. The recent hot weather should do a great deal to boom business among grow- ers for the manufacturers of refrigerat- ing apparatus. The lack of adequate cool storage space coat many growers hundreds of dollars, while the possession of refrigerating apparatus enabled others to put their stock on the market in good shape in spite of the heat. A re- frigerating machine soon pays for itself in any good-sized greenhouse establish- ment. AMERICAN BOSE SOCIETY. Bose Garden Tests. W. R. Pierson and John F.

When you read these letters from flo- rists who have disposed of all the stock they could supply through an advertise ment in The Review, do you realize that you can clean out your stock in the sarnie way? The only value of testimonialg is to show to others the opportunities which they have not yet grasped. If you have heretofore been used to havipj:^ surplus stock on your hands, you know now how to avoid that difficulty in the future. Please discontinue our chrysanthemum advet- tlsement in The Review, as we are sold out. The Review Is doing splendid work for us. — C. Eric- son, Princeton, 111., July 1, 1913. Today we find we are swamped with orders and must quit advertising for the time being. However, you will hear from us again shortly. —John Schwelchler, North Tonawanda, N. Y. June 29. 1913.' Last week, June 26, one order of plants fllle<1 one 'entire car and theil some; this customer was gained about a year ago through a small ad in The Review and has been a regular ' customer ever since. He buys all that we are able to- supply. — E. Rawllngs, Oleau, N. Y., July 1, 1913. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. There never is more than one story that can be told of the market in the week of July 4: It always is dull. This season the week in which we celebrate the nation's birthday was no worse than usual; there was enough demand to take all the good stock, but scarcely any outlet for the considerable quanti- ties of extremely poor flowers that were the result of the unusually hot and dry weather. This week conditions are somewhat improved. There is extremely little first-class stock on the market, but the overload of poor flowers is less heavy than it has been. Following two weeks of excessive heat, the temperature dropped to normal July 6. Conse- quently^ Beauties and roses are reaching the market in much better condition; wide open flowers demanding immediate sale are much less of a problem than they have been. Beauties are extremely abundant. Several houses have good crops and one or two are much more heavily supplied than usual at this sea- son. The buyer who can use quantities is treated with great consideration- There is a fair summer demand for the better grades of roses. The greater part of the receipts are cut from young stock and have short stems. The special de- mand for yellow has subsided; the extra call now is for white. Short white sells much better than short pink. Growers are rapidly clearing their houses preparatory to replanting carna- tions and the supply is much smaUc' than heretofore, small in numbers an>1 small in size of flower. A few asfeis have appeared and it will not be lon^ before this summer flower will displace the carnation.

We have large supplies of Killamey, White Killarney and Bulgarie, an especially large lot of Mrs. Ward and soon will have a big crop of Radiance.

Randolph St., Chicago Mention The Review wnen you write is getting much better returns than this variety brought last year, the heat hav- ing cleared the market for him. Peonies are gone, except for one lot. Shasta daisies from Michigan are a glut. The candidums from the same locality held the stage for only a few days this year, because of the high temperatuse. Eas- ter lilies are overabundant; it is doubt- ful if lilies ever have made as low aver- ages on this market as was the case in the last two weeks of June. A few sweet peas still are seen, but the quality is what one would expect after such long continued hot weather. The de- mand for valley has subsided to normal. Cattleyas are not in large supply except for one or two crops, but these are more than suflBcient to take care of the pres- ent demand. Greens are quiet. The June Business. The average wholesaler expresses himself as well satisfied with the record of June business; it does not compare with last year so unfavorably as was expected. Conditions were so bad dur- ing the latter half of the month that anyone who has taken in as much money as last year feels that he has cause for satisfaction; those who can show small increases consider themselves extremely fortunate. The first half of the month was excellent, but the extreme heat in the latter pait of the month not only cut down tnef demand but ruined much stock.

He expects to go over the lake at the ^d of ;tkis week to remain until the fruit has been harvested. Tim Matchen says Peter Reinberg has some of his carnation benches filled with fresh soil and that planting will be rushed as soon as there is a rain to put the plants in the field in good condition. C. W. McKellar and wife motored to Waukazoo Inn, near Holland, Mich., for a triple holiday. One of the week's visitors is S. W.

The Florists' Review U Was It Insured? ii'-. ■<" If this should happen to you (perhaps it has already) what would your answer be? I have succeeded in arranging for the writing of Greenhouse Windstorm Insurance by a syndicate of American Stock Insurance Companies, licensed by the State of Illinois, with combined assets of over 25 million dollars. They have appointed me exclusive agent for Illinois for this form of insurance. Your range may be entirely destroyed by the next storm or the stacks blown down, which would put the heating plant out of business and result in a frozen crop. The labor and savings of a life-time may be wiped out by that one puff of wipd. Greenhouse Windstorm Insurance would reimburse you for the entire damage to all your property, except growing plants, and thus help to rebuild, restock and carry you until another crop can be grown. The expense of this insurance depends, of course, on the value and general construction of your plant, and it is surprisingly low. If unable to call at my office write me at once and I will give you further particulars. FLOKJAN D.AX^ALIiAGE 'MOFANCtSERVic insurance exchange building Chicago Department A J U 'it lift. >■ »■:...!

Several times, just when orders were becoming too heavy to handle in the bedding and window box work, the weather would work around and cut off the orders for a time and give the trade time to catch up. For the present, however, atten- tion is being given the replanting end and most of the growers have the job well in hand. The supply has been cut down considerably and only a few good flowers are to be had. Boses hold up better than anything else and, as gladi- oli are slowly coming into bloom, there is trouble in finding enough good stock, even for the light demand. Carnations have been bad for the last week or so and it is hard to get anything that is worth consideration in this line. The daily papers have announced many wed- dings for July and, unless the predic- tion goes wrong, the month should bring forth an unusual lot of work in this line. Varloua Notes. Henry Smith's store force says busi- ness was good until July 3, when trade dropped off sharply with the continued hot blasts that sent people to the many summer resorts around this section. Landscape work is one of the things that the Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. has made a specialty of since the organiza- tion of the firm of Freyling & Mendals. Each year has seen a steady growth of the business handled in this line and for 1913 Mr. Freyling reports the orders were numerous enough to require more help than ordinarily. The mum plant- ing has just been completed and the other stock will be in the benches shortly. Crabb & Hunter have branched out into the real estate business. The prop- erty where the greenhouses now stand is in the center of a big residence section that is being boomed for the better class of homes and prices have jumped to attractive levels. As a result the green- house and surrounding holdings of Crabb & Hunter have been plattf^ and offered ^ot salp'^s building lots. 'T^e new downtown store has been in opera- tiotr just a year and has been ^ccessful, according to Mr. Crabb.

The Glorious Fourth and the hardly less glorious fifth, for many of the business houses were closed all or part of that day, so interrupted the usual course of events that business was poor for the current week, July 3 to July 9. The extremely hot weather that we have had lowered the quality of flowers cut from plants that have been bloom- ing throughout the season to such an extent that it vfhB sometimes hard to find flowera good enolpgh for the orders. There is some good stock: Easter lilies, valley, Beauties from down east, sweet peas from New York state, gladioli, Centaurea imperialis, white and laven- der, and asters mostly from Lancaster county. These asters are two or three times as good as they were a week ago, to judge from the price, and they are welcome in the absence of many good carnations. Mrs. Taft is proving a good summer rose. The demand is like the zephyr by the sea; it springs up unexpectedly, then dies away again. Still there is about as much doing as usual at this season. Cleaning Glass. We all know the difficulty of getting dirty glass into such condition that plants will grow underneath it. Every one has his pet formula, muriatic acid, scrubbing brush and water with plenty of elbow grease added and so on, but none of them are satisfactory. The glass men use hydrochloric acid to clean glass. This acid was tried last week successfully by the Robert Craig Co., to clean the glass on one of the com- BERGER BROS Can fill orders for Summer Flowers AT SHORT NOTICE Easter Lilies, Pink and White RoseH, Valley ALL OUTDOOR FLOWERS AND GREENS 140-142 N. 13th St - • Philadepa, Pa.

It took four men four hours to clean a house, 20x100 feet. The men used rubber gloves, a sliding scaffold and great care not to burn themselves. The acid cleaned the glass thoroughly and took all the paint off the bars, but did not injure the wood. I am unable to give the proportions of hydrochloric acid and water. If the mixture is too strong, the glass will be frosted; if it is too weak, the acid will not eat the smut from the glass. Mr. Craig has promised to give the proper proportions when he has fully tested the mixture. . The Founders' Week Pageant. The wonderful display given in this city a few years ago is still fresh in the minds of all who saw it. The dec- orated cars, the scenery, the costumes on living figures, all reproduced with historic' fidelity, were masterpieces of skill and ingenuity.

LOUIS. The Southwestern Market. The hot days last week were dis- couraging to both wholesalers and re- tailers. At the wholesale market there seems to be plenty of stock in the lower grades, but in the fancy grades there is a great scarcity. The whole- salers say, however^, that there was lit- tle demand last \fe(ek for anything ex- cept funeral flowers. The retailers are not buying mucli stock and are not making much displ^j, as their windows are filled with gre^lte. An abundant su^^ly of roses of the Killarney varietietfTare coming in each morning, but, unless cut in tight bud, they are wide open on arrival and are not salable. Beauties are about the best roses that come in now, though the bulk of them are short-stemmed. Carnations are also plentiful, but only of fair quality. Among the best of them are the Enchantress varieties, for which the demand has been good all through the week, as some extra large funeral designs were worked up in the west end. Asters are of poor quality and it seems that the hot, dry weather has kept them back. Extra good gladioli are coming in from the field. In these, Augusta, America and Mrs. Francis King have the lead over the others. The growers are cutting them with the color of the flowers scarcely showing, but they come out finely in water. Easter lilies are fine, but valley is somewhat scarce. Sweet peas are in- ferior and the few that come in are short-stemmed and good only for funeral work. The market is well supplied with asparagus, smilax and fancy ferns. Various Notes. Otto Bruenig, of Berning's, has re- turned from his vacation trip in the east. He reports an enjoyable trip. The Fourth of July is known as the florists' holiday. The majority of the retailers closed for half a day, as did the five wholesale houses.

Importers and Manufacturers 357-359 West Chicago Avenue, CHICAGO, ILL WRITE FOR OUR CATALOGUE worse at this time in both 1911 and 1912. Good flowers are not numerous. Such as there are meet with a moderate sale. Roses are handled chiefly by the street men, but even these aids to the cut flower trade have hard work to make people buy flowers when they are mak- ing desperate efforts to keep cool. Car- nations are dwindling rapidly in size and they must be good to bring $1 per hundred. Sweet peas are overabundant and many can not be sold. Lilies have had for a day or two a fairly good sale. Valley is good, but drags badly. Gyp- sophilas, of both the annual and peren- nial sorts, are plentiful and fairly popu- lar. Their presence hurts the sale of asparagus. Cattleyas are going slowly, and of the miscellane^BS flowers it can only be said that a wge part has to go to the rubbish barrels daily. Vari6us Notes. Robert Montgomery, of Natick, has just completed ^ new rose house and has planted it., with Killarneys. He hopes to finish planting his rose stock this week and will then give his atten- tion to hay-making, taking a vacation at his cottage at Bastin 's Island, Me. Many visitors from distant parts are expected for the exhibition of the Amer- ican Sweet Pea Society, July 12 and 13. The intense heat and the lack of rain will make stems short unless some moist- ure is vouchsafed to us this week. Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., is now lo- cated at 126 Tremont street, next door to the old site, where tearing down and rebuilding operations are in progress.

Oakland, Cal. — Savagnio Eoeco has secured a building permit for three greenhouses to be erected on the east side of Eighty-eighth avenue just south of E street at an estimated cost of $600. Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Ad Club proposes to make this place known as the Aster City and plans to hold an aster show in September that will eclipse the rose shows that make other coast cities famous.^ ^ t a « _* Puyallup, Wash.---^. «hlman and A. Linghani judged the rose show here, at which 125 amateur gro'wers staged nJBerly 1,000 vases of blooms cut from their gardens. A feature was an ad- dress on soils, by Clark C. Thom. Tacoma, Wash. — The Tacoma Eose Society's show, held June 27 to 29, eclipsed the best previous records. It is a purely amateur affair, but of much value to the trade in stimulating the demand for plants. It is estimated that there were 7,000 admissions. Charles Malmo, of Seattle, and Conrad Klom, of Olympia, were the judges. At the close of the show the presentable flow- ers were sent to the hospitals. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. Stock has been plentiful, but has been cleaned up well when of good qual- ity. Too many of the carnations coming in are rusty and thrips-eaten, but good stock is still coming from the best grow- ers. Gladioli have never been better; Mrs. Francis King, America, Princeps and Brenchleyensis are the most popu- lar sorts and all of these bring fair prices and are cleaned up well. The gladiolus, in fact, is the mainstay of the market now. Cecil Brunner roses are flowering for the second time and there are too many to be disposed of at a price that would be satisfactory to the grower. Indoor roses are on the short side, but the demand is not great. Cen- taureas are in fair demand and are supplied in good variety. A large cut of Shasta daisies is on and some have to be thrown away. Stocks, gypsophila, cornflower, statice and other small flow- ers are about even with the demand. Good plumosus sprays are scarce and strings are almost out of the question, but brake ferns and huckleberry are plentiful and a lot of wild greens is shipped from the northern woods. Good Boston ferns are scarce; so, also, is small stock for filling dishes. Club Meeting. There was a fair attendance at the monthly meeting of the Los Angeles Horticultural Society, July 1. Theodore Payne read an interesting paper on "Eucalyptus," which was well received and elicited a spirited discussion, in which J. Reeves, G. M, Grant, C. Winsel and others took part. A letter was read from the Pasadena Horticultural Society, inviting the mem- bers to join the Pasadena brethren at their annual picnic, which is to be held at Redondo Beach, August 3. The trip will be made by special train over the Santa Fe, calling en route at Los An- geles, at 9 a. m. President Winsel kindly offered to take twenty of the members down in his new auto truck, an offer at once taken advantage of by many of the members. Various Notes. Considerable improvement has been made at the East Side Nurseries of the Germain Seed"- & Plant Co., on North Mai* ^reet. J^ie stsbck looks clean and healthy, tiotB*inside and outside. Other nursery projects are under consideration by this firm. Frank Lichtenberg moved, July 1, from his old location on Fifth street to his new store in' the Hollifigsworth building. T. F. M. Williamson reports business good at the new store; funeral work has been especially plentiful of late. He' evidently believes that a good window is good advertising; fine stock is shown right along, and plenty of it. Walter Lanss, of the Palmyra Nurs- ery, has been at Ventura working i.n landscape contracts which the firm hus secured there, his brother taking charj,'e of the nursery in his absence. Calling on L. Stengel, on North Johns- ton street, I noticed a fine lot of young seedling trees of all kinds in good shape, as well as nice batches of begonias, gloxinias and fancy-leaved caladiums. Albert Knopf, of the Redondo Floral Co., left July 1 for a month's trip in his new automobile. Business is keep- ing up well at the store. Morris Gpldenson is down for a month's jury service in the Superior Court. Business at the Los Angeles Flower Market is considerably better than at this time last year, heavy consignments of gladioli being handled here daily. Morton & Sperry are settling down to good team work and the improvements in business facilities continue. H. R. Richards. PORTLAND, OEE. The Market.

The Florists' Review 35 HIT^ of the Season In the past season every first-class flower store the country over had calls for bouquets made up with a certain small pink rose. In some stores it was sold under the name of MIGNON in others as SWEETHEART The real name of the rose is MME. CECIL BRUNNER and we believe we supplied all the cut buds except for one lot grown in the east from plants obtained from us last year. We shipped cut buds to New York, Chicago and many other cities. The rose was the hit of Fifth avenue and its fame spread throughout the country, resulting in a demand for the buds in every store that caters to the good trade. It is in great request for corsage bouquets. Colonial bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. Appreciating that because of our distance from the largest markets we can not handle the demand for cut buds, we have prepared to supply young plants to growers who know a money-making novelty when they see it. 20,000 PLANTS NOW READY IN FINE CONDITION 2^-m. pots, $10.00 per 100; $80.00 per 1000. 3-in. pots, $15.00 per 100; $120.00 per 1000 E.

The pumps have been kept running night and day for weeks, but as the land is so dry it is slow work and only a small acreage has been covered. "The weather during April vpas warm. Some days the temperature reached the high mark of 89 degrees in the shade. Such days only served to accentuate the fact that there was no moisture by causing the plants to wilt. Sweet pea plants, though only a foot high, were crowded with buds, and here and there blooms could be seen in the fields. It is expected that the plants will give a number of poor blossoms and then wither up. The earlies came into flower earlier than usual, and if cool weather prevails for a time some little seed of them may be saved. They average about one foot high all over.

"I would call special attention to the fact that all agricultural seeds under the present tariff bill are admitted free of duty, and I believe they have always been from time immemorial — as was formerly also the case with garden seeds for many years — on the free list. "It is of just as much importance to protect the welfare of the American farmer by giving him his garden seeds free of tariff as it is to furnish him his agricultural seeds free of tariff, espe- cially when, as I have endeavored to show above (and which may be verified by proper investigation), the final price to the actual consumer — the farmer himself — is enormously increased or in- creased out of all proportion by the various manipulations of a tariff."

It is reported that the business of the Georgetown Floral Co., which was bought about two years ago by A. E. Moore & Co., of Toronto, is to be taken over by Kirk & Mclntyre in the near future. The first annual show of the Ontario Rose Society, which was organized last March, was held in St. George's hall, Toronto, June 24 and 25. Owing to the severe heat, the exhibits were not as large as they would otherwise have been, but, even taking that into con- sideration, the show was a splendid success. W. G. P. CUDEBIIOS.CO.

Thirty-ninth annual meeting, Cleveland, O., June 23 to 26, 1913. C. I. Long has purchased at Osceola, la., the old nursery known as the Van Nelson estate, and he is now improving and stocking it. The Gibraltar Nursery Co., of Los An- geles, Cal., has leased the old Aldrich ranch, at La Habra, Cal., and intends to begin the planting of nursery stock there as soon as possible. Arthur Norton, of Clarksville, Mo., has sold a half interest in his nursery to U. E. Thurmond and the business will hereafter be conducted under the firm name of Norton & Thurmond. Articles of incorporation have been issued to the Prospect Hill Nurseries, Castletou, N. Y., with a capitalization of $10,000. The directors are Borden H. Mills, of Albany; Edwin Beel and Luana A. Bell, of Castleton. What is said to be the largest decidu- ous nursery in San Diego county, Cali- fornia, is being planted now by W. E. Alexander at his place, The Hog Back, near Escondido. He will plant 100,000 trees, all apple and peach grafts, which he received from Kansas in two express shipments. 0. V. Sherpy, of Northfield, Minn., has been looking over the ground at Albert Lea, Minn., with a view to establishing a seed business there. Mr. Sherpy was manager and vice-president of the North- field Seed Co., until he recently sold his holdings in the company. A. T. Boe, who was for a few years a traveling salesman under Mr. Sherpy, has a farm at Albert Lea. Business has been so prosperous for the German Nursery & Seed Co., of Bea- trice, Neb., that it has purchased 200 acres of land southeast of the city on which to grow nursery stock. Qp to this time the stock has been on small tracts scattered throughout town, but now every- thing except the shade trees, which re- quire bottom land, will be moved to the new plant. John Eyker, a Holland nurseryman, and Norbert Levavasseur, of Nancy, France, have purchased a 60-acre tract near Wapato, Wash., for the purpose of establishing a nursery mainly to grow ornamentals. They will do business under the name of the Ornamental Fruit Nurs- ery Co. Both are now in Europe, but Mr. Kyker will return about December to prepare the land for the nursery stock, which will come mainly from abroad. We P. H. GOODSELL, aft^ earing trees.

The Market. The week started with a rush; all the shops had something on Monday's or- der file, and a large proportion of the orders were for funeral work. Good stock was used up clean. Orchids, val- ley, Beauties, roses, carnations and sweet peas were in such demand that it became necessary to call on Philadelphia for help. In the latter part of the week business was rather slow, but there was a little funeral work every day. The hot days have made the cut of carna- tions, roses and sweet peas shorten up, but there are still lots of outdoor flow- ers in this market. Various Notes. Chas. B. Herr, of Strasburg, Pa., says he is still cutting some good White Per- fection, Mrs. Ward and Beacon carna- tions. The Beacons are fine, both in color and stem, considering the extreme- ly hot weather. In the week ending .July 5 he cut 6,000 blooms. In the field he hM 14,000 carnation plants of the leading varieties, all looking fine and healthy. At Rudolf Nagel's, on South West End avenue, the new range of 4,000 feet of glass is all planted with mums. There are 11,000 plants of the best and newest varieties; the foliage looks well and the plants are three feet high. The aster plants are in good shape, but it will be about two weeks .before he will start cutting. He has 35,000 geraniums to put in the sand, and also 3,000 plants of the Silver Pink snapdragon for Au- gust planting. At the Keystone Nurseries, on Co- lumbia pike, everything is in up-to-date condition. B. F. Barr says he has been kept rather busy planning for the com- ing season and getting the place in shape to meet the demands. He has in- creased his rose stock considerably by adding a number of the new ones, such as Mrs. Charles Russell, Milady, Aaron Ward and Sunburst. He is also giving Mrs. George Shawyer a trial. His plants all look strong and healthy. The mums are doing well and the foliage is good. The aster plants, both indoors and out, are small as yet and it will be two or three weeks before there will be any to cut. The outdoor sweet peas are b !?■•> it" .

Club Outings. The Gardeners' and Florists' Clxih is planning to have a big time on its an- nual excursion, which will be held at Chesapeake Beach, August 5. Several hundred members and their friends are expected to take the trip, for which the steamer Dreamland has been chartered. The Washington Florists' Club will go to the beach by rail and the mem- bers will take part in a series of ath- letic contests with the local club, for which prizes will be awarded the win- ners. The committee in charge of the out- ing consists of J. L. Towner, chairman; Isaac H. Moss, Frederick Bauer, James Boone and Mack Richmond. July 31 the local club will be the guests of J. G. Harrison & Sons at the big horticultural exhibit that will be held at the Harrison nurseries in Berlin, Md. At the close of the meet- ing the delegates will leave for Ocean City, Md., to attend the convention of the Maryland Horticultural Society, which opens August 1. Various Notes. At the next meeting of the club, July 14, William Feast, chairman of the com- mittee in charge of the floral display in connection with the Maryland week celebration in this city in August, is expected to announce some of his plans for beautifying Baltimore for the occa- sion. Henry S. Nagengast has gone out of the florists' business and has rented his plant on Franklin avenue.

ROBERT QRAIG COMPANY 4900 Market Streatp''' ' _H PHILADELPHIA, PA. W •»- Always mentioa the Florists" RevieW when ordering ttoci W W 64 The Florists' Review July 10, 1913. BOOHESTEB, N. Y. The Market. June, with its graduations and wed- dings, has gone for another year, but from beginning to end business was quite good. The demand for cut flow- ers has been great, but now that July is here and many people are away at the Jake, things are slow. The market is glutted with carna- tions, which meet with only a slight call, as they are of poor quality and many of them so soft that they can not be used. Roses, too, owing to the ex- cessive heat, are poor in quality and their lasting properties are weakened. Sweet peas, chiefly outdoor grown, are of fairly good quality, but a lot of them are being cut with such short stems that they are almost useless except for funeral designs. Valley is scarce, but what arrives is good. Harrisii and cal- las are hard to obtain just now. Large quantities of outside candytuft, cosmos, ramblers, etc., are included in the mar- ket stock. Funeral work has been off during the last week and business generally is ex- pected to be quiet at this season. Various Notes. Charles E. Fry, of Bernard. N. Y., has just torn down two old greenhouses and is erecting two houses of the Lord & Burnham construction. .1. H. West, Irondequoit, X. Y., will build a Lord & Burnham house early in August. .James Vick's Sons have planted out fifteen acres of their leading varieties of asters and expect to put in another three acres. The young plants are look- ing healthy and are in splendid condi- tion. Among the florists appointed on the committee for the grand floral parade, July 8, in connection with the Elks ' convention, were George B. Hart, E. P. Wilson, John Dunbar, George F. Cros- man, George T. Boucher, A. H. Salter, J. M. Keller and C. H. Vick. Addison Burnham, of Lord & Burn- ham Co., and his wife were the guests of his brother, Frank Burnham, at his home in Fairport, N. Y., Sunday, July 6. Flower day was observed in this city last week. The proceeds, amounting to $1..500, were in excess of last year's. George B. Hart, the wire design man- iifacturer, built a wire pergola for use in the floral parade of the Elks' con- vention. Most of the florists are closing their places of business on Saturday evening during July and August at 6 o'clock. H. J. H. Maumee, O. — The Maumee Greenhouse Co., authorized to deal in flowers and farm products, ■ has been incorporated, with $15,000 capital stock, by C. W. Merdoffee, D. Moore, A. J. Sperber, B. E. Irlam, Jr., and S. E. Trlam. Astoria, L. I. — H. Pritchard and wife celebrated their sixty-ninth birthday anniversaries July 4, with the assistance of five sons and daughters, twenty-seven grandchildren and two great-grandchil- dren, together with friends of the neigh- borhood. The celebration took place jl^. the old homestead erected thirty years ago. The grandchildren presented them with a gold loving cup, and there *vere many other presents.

I have a greenhouse 20x64 feet and eleven feet three inches to the ridge, with one glass gable and with two feet of glass in the sides. The side walls are five feet high and are double boarded, with paper between the boards. It is to be heated with hot water. Will you kindly give me your idea as to the best plan for piping this house to main- tain a temperature of 60 degrees when the outside temperature is 10 degrees below zero? The fire grate is 18x30 inches. J. I. H. To heat a house 20x64 feet, with two feet of glass in each side wall, to 60 degrees, will require about 600 square feet of radiating surface. To supply this, run a 2^-inch flow pipe on each wall plate and another under the ridge. For returns use three 2-inch pipes on each wall, or under each side bench, and five 2-inch returns under the other benches. Run the flows with a slight fall and connect the expansion tank at the highest point. A GREENHOUSE AND LEAN-TO. Kindly tell me the right size of boiler, the size and number of flows and where to place them, and the correct size and number of returns to heat a greenhouse 28%x50 feet, seven feet high at the sides and fourteen feet five inches high to the ridge, with four feet of glass in each wall and with glass in both gable ends. I wish to be able to maintain a temperature of 55 degrees in zero weather, in the climate of the Willa- mette valley, Oregon. Also ;rive me in- structions for piping a lean-to, 6x50, to be used as a propagating house. The outer wall of the .lean-to is five feet high. The fuel used will be woodJi *•*(£ To heat the house describi^d t? 55 de-, grees in zero weather, about '5ou square leet of radiation will be needed, but for economy it is suggested that the boiler should have a rating of 750 to 850 f 10 Hours Without Firing even in severely cold weather, is a common experience with those growers who use the Wilks Self-Feeding Hot Water Boilers In the Coldest Weather Wilks Hot Water Boilers Can Be Relied On to keep the temperature even and continuous, makine night firing unnecessary.

Decided and growing uneasiness as 10 the future supply of coal has been the main characteristic of the coal trade lor the week," says one of the authori- ses in that business. "This is particu- ■arly true in all of the section east of ;ne Indiana-Ohio line.

This fear arises from a belief in a car short- age, a belief in strikes and a belief in a demand for these coals in excess of present productive capacity. "The facts are these: Smokeless coal is in broad demand. Its entrance into the export market naturally has short- ened the supply at home. Those who have it for sale advanced the price in the spring. The buyers of it first tried to beat down the price and, finding that ' • ^v^- i-t- ,T.»-'^',^ffi iff^PCTr>^.',«'wwi*p« y^ V »4y^ 'jiwavn^ ^*'. ■ v - ">:^ •* — ' ■ '-, '^ , C- ' The Florists' Review JuLx 10, I9i;: impossible, came to conclude that the producers had good reason for the ad- vance. Thus there spread a report, which grew steadily, that smokeless was going to be scarce. Talk of a strike among the miners intensified this '))e- lief. The actual calling of a small strike last week threw a good many buyers into a panic. ' ' The people, fearing a shortage, have come to provide against it. As they provide against it, they buy more coal and thus actual buying, coupled with fear of a shortage, has produced a mighty strong situation. It is said that this anticipation of disaster has added twenty-five per cent to the volume of lake coal moving to July 1. ' ' In addition, the railroads have been letting it be known that their rolling stock is in none too good shape. They say that, even now, cars are short. "One thing seems apparent: The extraordinary buying has done a great deal to remove the danger of a car and coal shortage. The danger is that it will also take the edge off the fall and winter market. "In the west, the intense situation expressed in the east is not at all in evidence. The buyers are taking in some of the eastern coal to have it on hand. Aside from that they are doing nothing to guard against either a coal or a car shortage. They fear neither and do not seem to put much faith in reports that such things are going to be bothersome. ' ' STEAM FOB KENTUCKY RANGE. Enclosed you will find a plan of five houses which I intend to erect this fall. No. 1 is 17x105 and the others are each 14%xl20. The houses are seven feet high to the gutter and are all con- nected, without partitions. How many pipes, and of what size, will be needed to heat them with low pressure steam to 55 or 60 degrees in zero weather? There is no glass in the sides, but only in the south gable ends. I have two boilers under consideration, both of the same rating, but one has a grate 30x41 and the other 36x29. Which would it be better to buyf Which is the better method for quick circulation of air, to have the ventilators hung from the ridge or opening sideways? My boiler pit is eight feet deep and the returns will be at least two feet above the boiler. J. E. R. It will be well to run a 2-inch main a foot or 80 under the ridge of each house. For the wider house use five or six 1^-inch returns, and for the nar- row houses four or five returns. The larger number of returns would be necessary in the houses having one wall exposed. Part of the returns may be on the walls and the others under the benches. The hanging of the ventilators at the ridge is most common. It will be well to have ventilators upon both sides of the houses. The larger grate will be desirable, as the boiler should be good for twenty horse-power for economical heating. AN AIJ^AMA OABNATION HOUSE. I have a carnation house 21x50, and wish to heat it with hot water. I am figuring on purchasing a six horse-power, upright steam boiler for this house, but instead of using steam I wish to pre- pare the boiler for hot water, which I Do you want true heating values for your money?

Business continues good for this time of the year and the cut flower stock seems to be about all taken up when the doors close every Saturday night. Hoses are deteriorating in quality and are opening too fast. Carnations are only fair. Gladioli are in the lead and sell well. Outdoor sweet peas are short- stemmed, but the flowers are good and sell well. Various Notes. Samuel Murray was busy last week decorating for dinners and receptions, and he says that business is as good as could be expected at this season. Henry Kusik & Co. report that their wire work and supply department is keeping them busy. The cut flower business holds up well for this time of the year. The Alpha Floral Co. had a most at- tractive window display for July 4. The display included a flag six feet long, made of immortelles. The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. reports that business is good and that cut roses of the new stock are be- ing received. This firm gave a picnic to the employees last week, at Penn Valley park. Among the visitors of last week were James M. Brown, representing the Lord & Burnham Co.; Mr. Austerlitz, of the Eeuhl Moulding Co., Cincinnati; Harry Balsley, of the Detroit Flower Pot Co., Detroit, Mich.; Ed Harvey, formerly with the Rock Flower Co., in this city. W. J. B. MILWAnSEE. The Milwaukee Florists ' Club, instead of holding a flower show, will arrange a large exhibit at the state fair this year. The large upper floor of the concrete grand stand has been placed at the dis- posal of the florists by members of the state fair board. The exhibit will be arranged after the style of a conserva- tory, and will consist mainly of cut flowers and designs, although ^here also will be a display of plants. If the fair exhibition is a success, the Florists' Club will make arrangements for a larger exhibit in 1914. The August F. Kellner Co. has secured a permit to build greenhouses and sheds at 1358 Humboldt avenue at an esti- mated cost of $2,500. This is taken as indicating "good business" in the florists' line.

I'hc Florists' Review 91 I I M 11 ■ « ir .^i "TANK GRADE" CYPRESS No other lumber manufactured is subjected to such close inspection and is graded so carefully as Cypress. It is the only variety of wood in which there is such a class as "TANK GKADE. " Other woods Shave Tirsts and Seconds, but "TANK GRADE" Cypress represents a choice, handpicked, selected quality — ftie very cream of Firsts. For greenhouse construction, those who are accounted reliable among the contractors use none other than "TANK GRADE." Of course they put in "pecky" for standards and benches, but when it comes to sash-bars, sash, hot beds, cold frames, tanks, tubs, plant boxes, etc., it is Cypress, "TANK GRADE," from ridge-pole to foundation. And yon will do well to follow the lead and advice of the experienced contractor. BOOKS STILL FREE Those CJypress booklets are as free as ever. Volume 3 is about greenhouses; Vol. 4 is the Barn Book, with plans and specifications. Write for one or a dozen of them.

The Florists' Review AMERICA54 SWEET te PEA SOCIETY ie FIFTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION. A Superb Display. Grave doubts were entertained in ad- vance as to whether the exhibition of the American Sweet Pea Society held in Horticultural hall, Boston, July 12 and 13, would be at all a creditable one. Massachusetts had been experiencing a long drought and for a whole week in advance of the show the thermometer climbed to 90 degrees and over, but the flowers averaged of much better quality than a year ago. The flowers from Newport, Lenox and Bar Harbor, as usual, were of grand quality. Nearby growers made a rather small showing, R. & J. Farquhar & Co. being an excep- tion. More flowers were staged than a year ago and popular interest in sweet peas seemed greater than ever. The Business Meeting. The annual meeting of the society was held in one of the basement halls July 12. The attendance was good, al- though it was hard to drag members away from the exhibition. J. K. M. L. Farquhar. who should have made the welcoming address on behalf of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, was called out of town prior to the meeting. President Sim was in the chair and in a few remarks said he had done all he could to put the society on a higher plane and believed he ha^' suc- ceeded in some measure. \ J. H. Pepper, recording secretary, read a letter from A. C. Be^ relative to the society's sweet pea trials being oondupted at Cornell University. They have 200 trials this year, against 370 >B 1912. A bulletin will be ready about the end of the year, covering fully all these trials. During the present year thev tried 150 varieties started in 3- ""[n pots and 100 were sown outdoors; all had done well considering the rather untavorable growing season. This re- port was accepted and Prof. Beal given a vote of thanks for same. Secretary H. A. Bunyard, in his re- port said the exhibition was decidedly tif" best the society has yet held. The society steadily is growing in strength, '•otti numerically and financially, and nas received sufficient guaranties to 'estr off all indebtedness, with a balance on hand. idebtednesn, with a balance -^'1 invitation was read from the Hor- J'ciiltural Society of New York asking i"e society to meet there at the time of "<• -I line show in 1914 and offering $200 '^•"•d the premium list.

W. T. Hutchins, in a eulogistic address, nominated Wm. Sim for a third term. Mr. Sim did not want another year of the presidency, but the meeting would not take no for an an- swer, so he gracefully accepted and promised to do all he could in the fu- ture as he had in the past. For vice- president, I. S. Hendrickson nominated Arthur Kirby, of New York. W. J. Stewart seconded and Mr. Kirby was elected by acclamation. M. C. Ebel moved the election of H. A. Bunyard for secretary and S. J. Goddard that of Arthur T. Boddington for treasurer. Both were chosen by u unanimous vote, as was J. H. Pepper for recording sec- retary. William H. Duckham was chosen to fill the vacancy on the execu- tive committee. Geo. W. Kerr read his paper, "A Few Notes on Sweet Peas, ' ' which was followed by a short discussion. On motion of H. A. Bunyard the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was practically all shriveled up on the first evening, but some pretty hampers, bas- kets and bouquets were shown. Ama- teurs and children each made good showing and competition was keen for the numerous prizes offered by the Mas- sachusetts Horticultural Society. The prize list follows, with the names of the winning sorts in all the more impor- tant classes: PRIVATE GARDENERS' CLASSES. R. & J.

Only one entry, a vase of Dorothy Eckford, appeared in the grandifiora classes, showing that this type is now almost obsolete. The classes for amateurs were well competed for, also those in which prizes for children were offered by the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club of Boston. The exhibit of R. & J. Farquhar & Co., which easily won the C. C. Morse cup for the seedsmen's finest display, was the greatest attraction in the show. It again showed James Farquhar to be Exhibit of R. & J.

It occu- pied the center of the main hall and was in the form of a circular garden, entered from four sides, beneath arbors trellised with Countess Spencer sweet peas. All flowers were in small vases, which kept them fresh. In the center a fountain was playing, in the pool stood some aquatic plants of a light, airy nature, and the raised border sur- rounding it was charmingly arranged with sweet peas, the groundwork here and in the outer raised borders being low pans of Selaginella denticulata. Some of the best flowers in this display were Barbara, Etta Dyke, Moneymaker, Mrs. Hardcastle Sykes, Thomas Steven- son, Aurora Spencer, Frank Dolby, Bea- trice Spencer and Primrose Spencer. The most extensive display of sweet peas, which included 120 varieties, was that put up by Geo. W. Kerr for W. Atlee Burpee & Co. in his usual mas- terly manner. Long bamboos at the back contained Helen Lewis, Scarlet ^mpress, America Spencer, Countess Spencer, Vermilion Brilliant, Charles Foster, Thomas Stevenson, White Spen- cer, Mrs. Sankey Spencer, Scarlet Em- Peror, Marie Corelli and Primrose Spen- der. Other fine varieties in this collec- tion were: Irish Belle, Doris Usher, i-ady Evelyn Eyre, King Edward Spen- ^^y Mrs. Eoutzahn Spencer, Florence ^orse Spencer, Florence Nightingale, Barbara, Frank Dolby, Minnie Fumell, iJorothy, Asta Ohn Spencer, Helen Gros- venor, Margaret Madison, Perdita, John n{,'nian. Radiance, Beatrice Spencer, St. ^<^orge and Maud Holmes. A new sal- mon rose seedling, Illuminator, was awarded a first-class certificate. The k roup received the gold medal offered ^^i" the most meritorious display of sweet peas. Arthur T. Boddington, who received third prize for the best seedsman's dis- play, had a superb lot of flowers which were fresh until the show closed. Un- fortunately, these were not named and thus lost most of their educational value. Miscellaneous Exhibits. In addition to sweet peas, there were quite a number of other interesting exhibits. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. showed a large vase of Lilium myriophyllum, also the new scarlet, L. Thayerse, an- other Chinese variety. From John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y., came some fine gladioli, including Niagara, Mrs. F. Pendleton, Baron Hulot and other good things. B. Hammond Tracy also had a nice show of gladioli. J. T. But- terworth had a fine specimen Epiden- drum prismatocarpum. Julius Roehrs Co. had a table of orchids, as also did W. A. Manda. Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wrii. fully flowered plant of the golden ra- cemed Platyclinis latifolia, which was med Platyclinis latifolia, which was worthy of a cultural certificate rather than a gratuity. She also showed vases of the pink Statice Suworowi. F. J. Dolansky had an excellent lot of cat- tleyas, including Dowiana, gigas, Mossiae and Mendelli. Mrs. Lester Leland had an extensive display of tuberous be- gonias and Mrs. E. M. Gill a nice gen- eral display. The Eastern Nurseries had a large bank of herbaceous perennials. Col. F. Mason, hollyhocks; Dr. Kennedy, Jap- anese iris. There were also large dis- plays of sweet peas from W. Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener; Peter Fisher, whose flowers were as fine as the carna- tions he usually shows, and several others. Fruits and vegetables were both well shown. Entertainment and Visitors. Members of the American Sweet Pea Society and other visitors to the num- ber of sixty were entertained to din- ner given by the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club of Boston, at the Copley Square hotel, July 12. Short addresses were made by President Sim, W. J. Kennedy, president of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club; Geo. B. Dorr, pro- prietor of the Mount Desert Nurseries; Arthur Kirby, A. E.

The society includes both amateur and professional growers in its membership; the trade took a conspicuous part in the affair and the show was the most successful yet held, both in number of exhibits and variety of blooms. There were sev- enty-five entries, comprising 35,000 stems, and in many cases the competi- tion was so keen that the judges, L. G. Pfunder, Albert Rahn and E. T. Mische, ^ 10 The Florists^ Review July 17, 1913. us that it is useless to expect results in the first generation, that no matter liow unpromising the flowers may appear, the seed should- be carefully saved and sown again, and then in the second genera- tion we may be rewarded by the appear- ance of some new and improved fovmg or types according to what we have been aiming for, and I know that pre- vious to the knowledge of this law hun- dreds of crosses were thrown away William Sim. (Reelected President of the American Sweet Pea Society.) had much difficulty in reaching a de- cision. The awards to commercial growers were as follows: Best general exhibit In vases without foliage — H. Clemens, Newberg, first, gold medal; Rout- ledge Seed & Floral Co., second, silver medal. Best table decoration, other than sweet pea foliage allowed — Clarke Bros., first; Martin & Forbes Co., second. Best basket of sweet peas, other foliage al- lowed—Max M. Smith, first; H. Clemens, second. Best floral piece, either wire design or set piece — ^Max M. Smith, first; H. Clemens, second; special award. American flag, new design, Rout- ledge Seed & Floral Co. Among the special displays that of the Routledge Seed & Floral Co. was the most admired. It was a sweet pea representation of the stars and stripes, and the new design recently approved by Congress was used in the arrange- ment of the stars. Capt. George Pope's seedling won the gold medal for the best new variety and was named Multnomah Spencer. A significant feature of the show was that there were no entries in the class for grandiflora sweet peas. The Spen- cers have supplanted the old type. Committeemen in charge of the show were: E, R. Routledge, chairman; J. T. Bacher, secretary. Executive commit- tee— 0. M. Plummer, Captain Pope, Mrs. Stella Durham, Arthur Bowman, H. A. Cushing, R. W. Gill. Showroom and decoration committee — J.

Pa., read before the American Sweet Pea So- ciety at Boston, July 12, 1013.] When the evolution of the sweet pea is mentioned our thoughts must imme- diately go back to the late Henry Eck- ford, for, had he not given us that fine old pink variety. Prima Donna, it may be that the Spencer type would not yet have been evolved, for Countess Spencer came to us as a sport, or, to follow the new term used by the Dutch botanist, Hugo de Vries, mutation, from Prima Donna, and as we all know this was the forerunner of the beautiful new race of Spencers, many of which are now the results of careful hybridizing, while others are simply sports or mutations from existing sorts. Our Debt to Mendel. I know I am safe in asserting that had not the Mendelian laws of hybrid- izing been made public, the evolution of the sweet pea would not have been so far advanced, for Mendel has taught every year instead of retaining them for the breaks which would jQaturally appear in the next generatioii. To those who have the patience and the garden room to spare, for seedlings in the course of two or three years do take up a lot of space if the hybridizer is making many crosses, the raising of new varieties is a most interesting pas- time, but it is well to count the cost ere starting, as no results can possibly be attained until the second generation; that is, two years from the date of making the cross, and two or three years more must elapse ere the grower can satisfy himself that the stock is truly fixed. According to the varieties which have been mated, something fine may appear the first year. That is what is termed in Mendelism first generation, or F.l, but the variety is never fixed and al- ways breaks up in F.2, or second gen- eration, and I was greatly surprised to observe quite a number of new sweet peas advertised for registration in the trade papers early this spring as first generation selections, when it is an es- tablished and indisputable fact that no variety is fixed in the first generation. Drought, Not Disease. Has the sweet pea reached its zenith, or are there new forms and colors yet to be evolved by the specialist? Judg- ing by the introductions of the last few years, which include such magnificent novelties as Elfrida Pearson, Stirling Stent, Thos. Stevenson, Charles Foster, Prince George, Orchid, Decorator and Edith Taylor, just to mention a few, the sweet pea is still in its infancy, and we may hopefully look forward to be yet further delighted with marvelous new shades or types, but so much has been said and written lately about ^ 1 ^ .a. /J V-^HSia ^M ^. ^ *5|. l^MWL)..-- •. 1 . .* • i mi k.* ^^■'-.^^MiT^^^TiB ^^ ^& Mtt ^^^''fJ^^k.

The Florists^ Review A G)rner of the Exhibition of the Oregon Sweet Pea Society, Portland^ July 8. sweet pea diseases that if we would be- lieve all we read on the subject, the days of the sweet pea are numbered. Now I, for one, do not believe this to be the case, for, having been in touch with sweet peas practically all my life, I have only observed isolated instances of disease; nowhere have I ever seen it in the form of a scourge. About this time, in some sections of Pennsylvania, we lose plants wholesale, but my ob- servations have led me to the conclusion that this is simply due to extreme heat and drought, and it is worth noting that fall planted peas are not liable to go off as early in the season as those sown in the spring, this being undoubtedly due to the fact that the former have made better and, in most instances, deeper root growth, the plants being therefore more able to withstand ex- treme heat and drought. The Streak Disease. This drying up of the vines I have often heard called blight, but it is sim- ply, as I have already stated, the effects of continued dry weather and extreme heat. Therefore, when I mentioned dis- ease I had in mind "streak," Thielavia «asieola, which has troubled so many growers in England, The majority of the scientists who ^ave studied streak disease seem to nave arrived at the conclusion that er- ors in manuring and watering were jne cause of the trouble. While located ^-ngland, where I grew sweet peas on a large scale for exhibition purposes, nave in some seasons had many rows "I I'lants flooded for several days in "(•"•ession, during excessive rainfalls, ^"" yet no bad effects followed, this „,7^,^°'^^*less due to perfect drainage f" 7®P trenching. This fact, there- •■<■. leads me to the conclusion that wrong use of manures may be the ••0 of the trouble. We are told that h,.| I i^'^g^nous manures must be with- ering bacteria in the root nodules die of inanition and the plant is therefore susceptible to disease. Therefore, where disease has prevailed it is well to avoid the too free use of farmyard manure. If the soil must have humus, apply the dung to the previous crop, or use it only in a thoroughly rotted condition, as in that state most of the nitrogen will previously have been liberated. SWEET PEA TRIALS AT CORNELL. [A report by A. C. Beal, presented to the American Sweet Pea Society at Boston, July 12, 1913. ] At this time it may be desirable to note the progress made in the sweet pea trials. This work was undertaken in the autumn of 1909, when plantings were made for the purpose of deter- mining whether it is feasible to plant sweet peas in the fall. The results of this work are reported in Bulletin No. .301. The testing of varieties has cov- ered four seasons. During this period a large number of varieties have been grown each year. These have not all been (distinct, for a number of varieties have been grown every year for the purposes of comparison. The number of varieties grown each year is as fol- lows: 1010 1911 1012 1913 .469 .435 .370 .200 When we began our studies of sweet peas, it was decided to make a thorough study of the evolution of the sweet pea, and for this purpose a large number of the older varieties were grown. These have now been dropped from the trials, which explains in large measure the smaller number of varieties grown dur- ing the last season. Each year careful and complete notes have been taken of all the varieties, which give us, in the case of those varieties grown for com- parative purposes, a record of the be- havior of varieties in different seasons. In the case of the novelties, however, the most of them have only been grown one season.

J-i amaryllis plants are still in the greenhouses, they should be shielded frpm the direct rays of the sun, and they will require less water and make up much finer bulbs if plunged in coal ashes, leaves or some other material. They should also be freely syringed to kepp mealy bug and red spider in check. Ufi|e a spray nozzle on the hose occa- sionally and direct the force against the upper portions of the bulbs, where mealy bugs love to congregate. As greenhouses get much overheated at this season, particularly when they are small, it is an excellent plan to plunge the plants in partly decayed leaves in coldframes. Raise the sashes a few inches above them and leave them open all the time. Give suflScient shade to prevent the foliage from burning, and spray freely during hot weather. Liquid manure should be given at least once a week and be sure the plants do not get dry at the root. It is aston- ishing what grand bulbs can be built up in two or three months under this treatment. Do not get the common, but utterly erroneous idea, that as soon as amaryl- lises have flowered they need little fur- ther attention. As a matter of fact, it is the culture they receive now which will build up the bulbs which will produce grand spikes next winter and spring. It is months too early to think of any resting. Pansies. Millions of pansies are sold each year, and every season seems to add to the array of purchasers of them. Their easy culture, hardiness, persistent blooming qualities and wonderful range of colors all tend to popularize them, and there are few buyers of plants who can resist a nicely flowered basket of pansies. The time to sow pansies must depend more or less on location. In some latitudes strong plants can be had if seed is sown as late as the first part o!f September, but in the more northerly states, where conditions are most fa- vorable for the culture of these flowers, from the middle of July until August 10 is a suitable time to make the main sowing. As a general rule, I find the last week in July a good time to sow. Secure a good strain of seed, such as Giant Trimardeau, in one of the first- class assortments offered by a number of specialists. Do not purchase seed because it is cheap; it will only mean an inferior grade of flowers, and if you want to tempt buyers, large flowers, well blotched, of good substance and containing attractive colors, are needed. If you want to get the best possible germination, sow the seeds broadcast in coldframes in light, fairly rich com- post; old hotbed manure, with leaf- mold and some sand added, is much to their liking. Scatter a light covering of soil over the seeds; water and shade with board shutters at first, later with cheesecloth. Do not, on any account, let direct sunshine play on the seed bed. Keep a little clos« until the seed- lings peep, but not a moment longer. Anything like stuffiness in hot weather will quickly start the plants to damp oflf. There are a good many named varie- ties of pansies. "When they are wanted for color effects in beds, separate shades are desirable, but most buyers prefer mixtures and many have a special lik- ing for red shades, such as will be found in Mme. Perret. In the way of named sorts, a few reliables are: Em- peror William, blue; Lord Beaconsfield, purple, white petals; Prince Bismarck, brown; Snowflake, pure white; Adonis, light blue; Queen of the Blues, lav- ender; King of the Blacks, coal black. The splendid special strains of Bugnot. Gassier and other specialists are all worthy of a trial where fancy flowers are wanted. For dotting among beds of tulips and hyacinths, also for any partly shaded beds or borders, the tufted pan- sies, Viola cornuta, carrying smaller flowers than the true pansies, but bloom- ing with greater freedom, are fine. Any- one who has once tried them will want them again, and if they can be watered in periods of great heat and drought they will flower finely all summer long. Cold Storage Lilies. Quite a few country florists, espe- cially such as do considerable design work, plan to have a succession of lilies practically the year around. For the greater part of the year cold storage bulbs are necessary. These do not pos- sess the vigor of stock which has not been subjected to cold treatment, but they start into growth quickly and flower in a surprisingly short time. L. longiflorum is the lily chiefly forced, but, in addition, some L. speciosum album and rubrum should be grown. Bulbs of these varieties take consid- erably longer to flower than those of L. longiflorum. If started before the end of July, they will give a good crop from Thanksgiving to Christmas. They can be grown in pots or beds; the for- mer are to be preferred. I like fairly large pots; 8-inch is a handy size for four or five bulbs. After potting, stand them on a cellar floor, or in a frame where they can be covered with board shutters. Give a soaking watering after pot- ting; no more will be needed until growths appear and the roots become active. It is always safer to keep any newly potted lilies somewhat on the dry side, rather than the reverse. In winter L. speciosum succeeds well in a night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. It does not take kindly to hard forcing, as does L. longiflorum. SLOW GROWTH, SMALL FOLIAGE. I am a chrysanthemum grower and have about 6,000 plants, but they are growing too slowly and the foliage is small. It seems impossible to get them to produce good-sized leaves. Will you please tell me what to do for this trou- ble? Please tell me, also, how to make kerosene emulsion, how to use it and whiat proportion to add to .yraterfor spraying. **/ G. K. It is somewhat difficult to know what is the matter with these mum plants without a personal investigation or some knowledge as to how the plants have been grown. If the plants have been growing slowly and the foliage coming small, not s«feming to want to make a large leaf^ i'such a condition would indicate that tte'^oil is poor or the moisture lamentably d'eficient. The chrysanthemum needs a" great deal of water, particularly in such weather as we have had recently. If the plants have not suffered for lack of water, unquestionably feeding must be neces- sary, A good mulch of well decom- posed cow manure will be found bene- ficial, as it will keep the plants from drying out at the root and will afford needed nourishment. Before this ma- nure is applied, a dusting of bone flour on top of the plants should be given. I say bone flour, because the coarser grades of bone do not give up their plant food quickly enough to be of much use to the plant and will only just begin to work after the flowers have been cut and the crop gathered. If well decomposed manure is not avail- able, the fresh manure should be used in the form of a liquid, putting a shovel ful or so into a barrel of water and mixing it thoroughly. With all respect to G. K., a kerosene emulsion is dangerous to use on mums- There is no insect that infests mums that can not as well or better be clt-aned out by the use of Aphine or one of tn« tobacco liquids. If there are many chewing insects, they can be rcadiv eradicated and prevented by the "*^ °! Paris green, half the strength of what one would use for potatoes out'loors. C. H. Totty. CYANIDE FOR MUMS. Can hydrocyanic acid gas be u?® with perfect safety for fumigating mums regularly, and how often shoui it be used? Will it kill worms ami so^ bugs? C. A. M.

The Florists' Review 18 and if fumigation is regularly done twice a month, green fly, black fly or white fly will be entirely checked. The foliage should be dry. Choose a cool, quiet night for fumi- gating, to get the best results. Of course, owing to the deadly nature of the cyanide, great care must be exer- cised in its use. Mix the acid and water, putting them in earthen bowls and placing these in the house; then, after the house has been closed, drop in the cyanide, get out as quickly as pos- sible and lock the house. If this is done late in the evening, the house can be left closed till morning. A. J. Loveless. THE PHONE AND THE AUTO. The accompanying illustration shows the motor truck recently added to the equipment of the H. A. Fisher Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. The combination of the telephone and automobile services tremendously enlarges the scope of the retailer's business. Today the customer need never enter the florist's place of business. He places his orders by tele- phone and pays his bills by mail. Though he be on the outskirts of town, the automobile delivery car will bring the flowers promptly and in good con- dition. The florist, on his side, is saved the trouble of showing and handling the flowers in his show room. His show room force is small, although the rest of his staff is proportionately larger, and the amount of business greater than before. HAIL STORM AT COLUMBUS. Columbus, O., was visited July 9 by what is believed to have been the most disastrous hail storm in the history of the city. South side florists alone re- port losses of approximately |50,000, and the total damage to crops ana build- ings in the city and vicinity has been estimated at $150,000. The hailstones are described, in a cautious, noncom- mittal sort of way, as being ' * of almost unbelievable size, ' ' and they struck with great force, being driven, it is said, by a 45-mile-an-hour gale. It is re- lated that William Bernard, employed by the Columbus Floral Co., was in a greenhouse when a huge hailstone broke the glass above him and drove a sliver of glass entirely through his right forearm. Of the florists and nurserymen the largest loss was suffered by the Colum- bus Floral Co. Loss on its seven green- houses, each 40x400 feet, on the Grove- port pike, is believed to be eighty to ninety per cent, despite the fact that the glass was of double strength. Frank S. Miller, of the company, estimated the damage at $20,000, which includes the loss to flowers and vegetables. About half a mile to the south of the <^olumbus Floral Co. are the green- houses of U. GJ. Swingle, in which not a pane of glass was broken. I'eter Fornof, whose greenhouses are '^t High street and Fornof lane, sus- t:>ined a loss of about $8,000 to glass ami vegetables. In eight houses prac- tically every pane was shattered. His tomato crop was destroyed. Other florists who suffered heavily, •'"id their losses, are as follows: Her- nian W. Kropp, 1265 South High street, I'i.OOO in glass; Emil Metzmaier, 1382' Srmth Fourth street, $2,000 in glass and '''■'^P; J. R. Hellenthal, 32 East Moler Motor Truck Used by H. A. Fisher Ca, Kalamazoo, Mich. street, $35,000 in glass and crop; C. A. Both, 180 East Morrel avenue, $5,000, and Theodore Olpp, on Parsons avenue, $2,000. Mr. Kropp had recently com- pleted four new greenhouses in connec- tion with the Cottage Rose Garden and scarcely a light of glass remained un- broken. At the farms of the Livingston Seed Co., four miles west of Columbus, the crops escaped damage entirely and there was not enough rain there to drive persons to shelter, though rain fell heavily in the center of the city, both in the early and late afternoon. One of the remarkable features of the storm was its limited area. A FLORIST AT GETTYSBURG. I have just returned from Gettysburg, where I was much pleased to see the wearers of the blue and the gray walk- ing and talking together, and I was glad to realize so fully that the war was over forever and that everyone was on his good behavior. As one who fought for the Union at Appomattox April 9, 1865, I felt that it was a won- derful thing to see the honest, hearty welcome of Lee's men to Grant's and of Grant's men to Lee's. I was surprised to see so little glass while en route from Sayre, Pa., to Gettysburg. I saw only one display that was striking and attractive, and that was at the railroad station at Reading. At Gettysburg I averaged a walk of ten to twelve miles per day, so as to see any feature of interest that might escape my observation if I used a swifter means of travel. On Con- federate avenue, near the seminary, I saw a bed of J. J. Harrison geraniums — not much over a dozen, I should say — which was the largest display of bed- ding I saw in Gettysburg. On arriving at Gettysburg, I found General Sickles sitting on the porch of the Rogers House. He plainly showed the effects of his many years; he is among the last survivors of the band of men who stopped the rush of Lon^' street's corps, July 2, 1863. Everyone had a glad hand for us old veterans; whether in the gray or the blue, and even our President spent forty-one min- utes of his valuable time on the ground. Edward Snow. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

The receiver was appointed by Referee- in-Bankruptcy Eastman, July 7, the day of the filing of the petition. Records of the Federal court show that Jacob Russ- ler also filed papers as a bankrupt De- cember 14, 1S98, and was discharged from bankruptcy in March, 1899. Des Plaines, HI. — The sale of the property of the George M. Garland Co., in bankruptcy, consisting of plant, machines, etc., for the manufacture of greenhouse building material, took place July 15, when Referee Eastman ac- cepted the bid of $10,500 by Augusta Garland. The latter is the wife of George M. Garland and it is understood that the business will be carried on by those who formerly had charge, before the voluntary petition in bankruptcy was filed in the U. S. District court at Chicago last March. The property 14 The Florists' Review July 17, 1913. will be turned over to the purchaser at once. Notes to the extent of $1,200 still remain to be collected by the trustee, as well as open accounts said to ag- gregate $6,000 placed on the books since the business has been in the hands of the court. Memphis, Tenn. — The petition in bankruptcy of the Memphis Floral Co., filed July 8, shows the following re- capitulation: stock of plants, etc., fixtures, live stock $42,138.00 Open ac< ounts considered to be above average 10,500.00 Total assets $52,038.00 Notes payable $15,773.98 Open accounts l,18t>.t>4 Total liabilities .$16,900.82 Excess of assets $35,077.18 The attorneys.

Although we are at present in the so-called dull season, the retailers are kept busy with flower work for wed- dings and, to a greater extent, for funerals. For the latter use, the de- mand for flowers was so great on cer- tain occasions that not only every shipped flower was used up, but nearly every available one in the city. The local supply of outdoor cut flowers is at present not large. Gladioli have fin- ished blooming, daisies are nearly gone and asters and single tuberoses are the most reliable flowers now and for the rest of the summer. The plant sale has been good and some firms have disposed of large quan- tities of miscellaneous stock, both whole- sale and retail. The landscape garden ers likewise report a satisfactory busi- ness, stating that the amount of bed- ding stock used far surpassed last year, owing to the large numbed of new gar- dens. They look for a lot of work this coming fall. Various Notes. Peter Kaul has a fine lot of evergreen shrubbery, such as Laurus camphora. Magnolia grandiflora and fuscata, ole- ander, etc. Palms, ferns and other mar- ket plants are healthy and clean. He stated that this year's business was quite satisfactory. Peter Kaul, Jr., who joined lately the army of happy benedicts, is doing an extensive landscape business, which was turned over to him at the time of his marriage by his father. Bruno Werner's new place looks pros- perous and he is well satisfied with the general market trade. A new green- house, 15x75, now in construction will be of considerable benefit during the winter season. Henry Cook was delighted with the results of advertising in the classified columns of this paper. He sold out his big stock of Aspidistra elatior and de- mands for hundreds of plants came in too late to be filled. His entire stock of palms, ferns and other greenhouse plants, as well as large quantities of southern ornamental trees and shrubs, is in perfect condition. Eeinhard Cook's place makes a trim appearance. He has the finest bouvardia ever grown here. They were in three varieties, young plants in the open ground. A splendidly built greenhouse, 17x75, has just been finished. Charles Eble and his daughter, Cor- inne, returned a week ago from Florida, where they spent two weeks with their relatives at Jacksonville. En route they visited Paterson's Eosemont Gardens at Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Eble speaks well of this place and found the roses carnations and mums in the houses ex- tremely fine. The new 400-foot huuse is a splendid example of modern im. provements. Mr. Paterson and sons showed them a pleasant day in Mont- gomery. At the Eoyal Palm Nurseries of Eeasoner Bros., at Oneco, Fla., the manager showed them the finest speci- mens of palms of many varieties, rang- ing from ten to sixty feet high and some over 25 years old. Besides the palms the splendid collection of semi- tropical ornamental and fruit trees and shrubs attracted their attention. The next stopping place was at Bradentown on the Manatee river; there the ele gant oreodoxa, or royal palm, seems to be entirely hardy. At Tampa the streets and parks are adorned with dif- ferent varieties of phoenix and other palms, which likewise ornament the beautiful grounds of the Tampa Bay hotel, the main attraction to strangers. On the return trip from Tampa they saw allemandas, poincianas and clero- dendrons in all their blooming glory. Florida is surely great in the line of Asparagus plumosus and all kinds of ferns, but the growing of cut flowers is a hard problem there. Bernard Eble, the son of Chas. Eble. was married here recently. E. E. PirTSBUEQH, PA. The Market. The middle of July is a poor time to talk about the flower business, but it is just as busy a time as any around some of the greenhouses. Plantsmen are putting their stock in shape and cleaning and repairing their houses in a leisurely way, but the busy people are the cut flower growers. The young stock of roses is planted, but the old stock, which has been blooming through June, is now being cut back and the beds got into shape for another year. Most of the carnations in this vicinity are still in the houses, but will come out now, and planting from ,«i^e field will begin shortly. Field camtl^ns are looking well and the indications are for fine plants t»y planting time. The wholesalers are still receiving large quantities of carnations and have not felt the need of asters, which are late in making their appearance, al- though they are promised for this week. Gladioli are here in quantities. The stock is good and they are a blessing this hot weather. Beauties are plenti- ful, but the demand is slower than ordi- nary, even for July. There are still a few good long roses, but plenty of the shorter stock, and, from indications, there will continue to be plenty all sum- mer. Lilies, valley and cattleyas are good and plentiful. The retailers are taking things easy; no one has to exert himself. They are now living oflf the dead. No one is carrying heavy stock, making a few plants answer the purpose of show. Various Notes. On account of his ill health, Jacob Elicker, of Homestead, Pa., who has been in business for years and built up a good trade, sold out to A. C. Miller, who conducts a flower store at Du- quesne. Pa. Mr. Miller will continue both stores. ■■■rw. vww^f ^ffv^ ■', >.'v^" '*:y~- ' ■■'- ~^ ■ ■ ?.'■ ■'■'■,' V -'V ' ■ ' 'W^-;- -T r- . -"-r JOLT IT, 1913.

President .Neil McCallum, of the Flo- rists' Club, expects to hSQre at the Sep- tember meeting Mrs. Ellne McFate, of Turtle Creek, Pa., who is -the only woman landscape architect in this vicin- ity. Mrs. McFate has made a success jn her profession. It is expected that she will give a talk on gardens and the art of making homes beautiful outside as well as inside. •lohn Sisley, of the McCallum Co., is back on the job and Jack Martin has gone on his vacation. Constantie Rydzewski, the Russian representative of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., has just done Washington^ D. C, and the eastern cities. He says he saw some fine buildings, but those girls that run on the beach at Coney Island looked good to him. Joe Gatti, the Italian representative of the same firm, reports back this week.

WHITE FLY IN PIiANT HOUSES. ] Can you tell me of some means of i exterminating the moth-like little flies that have infested our lantanas, stevias ' and fuchsias f M. J. H. The pest you have is undoubtedly the white fly, which is particularly partial to the plants you name, as well as to show pelargoniums, nasturtiums, calceo- larias, cinerarias and some other plants. Persistent spraying with common soap and water, one pound to flve gallons ol water, mitigates the nuisance consid- erably. Aphine and flr tree oil are other good remedies. The only sure way of cleaning out the pest under glass is to use hydrocyanic acid gas. The formula for this has frequently, appeared in The Review, but I might say that the following strength has proved sufficient to kill this pest: One and one-fourth ounces of ninety- eight per cent potassium cyanide, two and one-fourth ounces of sulphuric acid and three and one-half ounces of water for each 3,000 cubic feet. To flnd the cubic contents of your house, multiply the length by the breadth and this again by the average height. Use stone jars for fumigating and select a cool night for the operation. First pour in the, water; then add the acid. Each jar being thus prepared, drop in the cyanide, which should be wrapped in paper. Get out of the house as quickly as possible after dropping in the cya- nide; lock the door and allow no one to enter the same night. Use extreme care not to inhale any of the gas, as it is deadly. The dose mentioned is for an all- f ¥• fffl" '9S -^'s»-- 1 - ^ U ■ *^^.^ t. It ■ 4 5»> ■r-r>' V The Greek Flotiiti of New York and Their Friends on Their Annual Ootin£» July 9.

In summer there is more danger of injuring the foliage than in winter, when a low temperature can be maintained. C. W. TOLEDO FLORISTS' OUTINO. Wednesday, July 9, was a gala day in the annals of the Toledo Florists' Club, for it resulted in bringing together grower, wholesaler, commission man and retailer on a footing of jovial good- fellowship. It was the "first annual" outing and picnic held under the aus- pices of the club. At the June meeting some live wire suggested holding a pic- nic. Frank Schramm, the youngest member of the club, was elected general superintendent. He immediately under- took in a businesslike manner to make the affair an unqualified success. Post- ers announcing the fact that all florists' shops would be closed after 9 a. m. that d&y were distributed about the city; all florists and others interested were notified of the plans, and on the day before the picnic a well-displayed ad was placed in all the evening papers, signed by every retail florist, to inform the public. The day of the picnic dawned rather eloudy, but nothing came of it except a shower in the early morning, which set- tled the dust. The picnickers began to arrive at Ottawa park at an early hour and when the dinner-bell rang at 1 0 clock about 200 were seated around the festive board. And such a dinner it * u^* ^*®' Everybody pronounced it the best picnic lunch he ever had en- .loyed. After lunch, the program of the day w as inaugurated with a wild and viooliy baseball combat between the ^pst Side and the East Side. The mem- ">■> of that game will live long with inose who sat on the hillside, cheering tneir favorites. The score was 11 to 4 'n tavor of the West Side. The other wa'" ^^ *^® ^*y included a tug of i' ^^d running races for men, women u!r ?>l' recipients of many congratulations. ;^ ;-• liraus was ,Mrs. J. B.

Mrs. Annie M. Smith. The anniversary of the burial of the late William E. Smith, of Washington, D. C, who has rightfully been termed the "Father of American Horticul- ture," was sadly marked by the death of his widow, Mrs. Annie M. Smith, who passed away at Mt. Hope, Md., Wednesday, July 9, just one year and two days arter her husband. Mrs. Smith was born in Colesville, Montgomery county, Md., in 1840. She was the daughter of the late Joseph Fawcett, who emigrated to this country from Leeds, England, in the days when steam vessels were unknown, and who operated a textile mill in Maryland. In her younger days she was considered to be a belle of the surrounding country. Many of the older florists can remem- ber when she was a noted figure in the national capital. Brilliant to a degree, Mrs. Smith was a charming woman. A little over twenty years ago she be- came afflicted with a mental disorder that necessitated her removal to an institution in Baltimore and it was here that she passed away. She was laid to rest in the Rock Creek cemetery, beside her husband, and the grave covered with flowers by her friends, including many of the old- time florists who knew her when she was in her prime. Robert Leithead. Robert Leithead, one of the pioneer gardeners of Pasadena, CaJ., died re- cently. He had been well and favor- ably known in Los Angeles and vicinity for many years. He had charge of the Raymond hotel grounds twenty-two years ago and there first showed the gardeners of the neighborhood that Cli- anthus Dampieri, the glory pea of Aus- tralia, could be successfully grown from seed and flowered there in midwinter. An Englishman by birth, he came first to Canada, then worked for Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, and a quarter of a century ago he removed to the Pacific coast. H. E. R. Robert J. Trumbull. Robert J. Trumbull, one of the oldest seedsmen and nurserymen on the Pacific coast, died, at his home in San Rafael, Cal., July 5. He settled in Marin county early in the sixties, where he established a general nursery business. In 1870, together with Charles Beebe, he opened a seed and plant depot on Sansome street, San Francisco. The business was continued under this man- agement at that location until the time of the fire. After the catastrophe both of these gentlemen retired and the store was reopened on California street by his son, Robert H. Trumbull. It was shortly afterwards removed to its present loca- tion on Market street and is now man- aged by Charles Colemore. Mr. Trum- bull was a native of Ireland and 76 years of age at the time of his death. He is survived by his son and two daughters. The funeral took place from the Presbyterian church in San Rafael June 6, the interment being in Mount Tamalpais cemetery. John Faber. John B. Faber, Sr., died this week, at his home at Kankakee, 111., of old age. Mr. Faber was 90 years old and had been a resident of Kankakee since 1869. He opened the first florist's shop and greenhouse in that city in that year and continued in that business until about twenty years ago. At that time he retired and turned the business over to his sons, who are now in possession under the name of Faber Bros. Mr. Faber was a great devotee of the church, being one of the founders of St. Mary's. His daughter is a sister in a convent at Joliet. He is survived by the following children : Tracy, John B., Jr., and George, of Kankakee; Bar- thol, of Hammond, La., and Sister Calesta, of Joliet. Interment was in Mt. Calvary cemetery. Flint, Mich.— Arthur T. MacKinnon, who started business recently at 118 East Fifth street, is now building a greenhouse. Newport, R.

The supply of gladioli is the feature of the market this week. The stock is fine and so plentiful that it is difficult to find an outlet for it all. Solhe new crop roses are arriving, chiefly Mary- land and White Killarney. They are welcome, as the better grades of roses are rather short of the demand, while the poorer grades are far too plentiful. Asters are hardly yet making an im- pression; most of them are too short in stem to rank high. Easter lilies are the mainstay of the market where white flowers can be used. Valley is dull and some of it below grade, while cattleyas have received unsteady support. East- ern Beauties are the finest roses in the market. Mrs. Taft, or Prince de Bulgarie, is satisfactory now. Sun- burst has surprised everyone by its sum- mer usefulness. The Retirement of John Burton. Brief announcement was made last week that John Burton had decided to retire from active business, handing over the management of bis large range of greenhouses to his son, George Bur- ton. The street was genuinely surprised. A successful career of thirty-five years closed in the prime of manhood, just after the purchase of a new farm and the addition of a modern greenhouse, was unexpected. It is understood that Mr. Burton has for some time wished to relinquish the cares of active busi- ness and that his son's enterprise made this possible now. John Burton commenced business in a small range of what would be con- sidered today little greenhouses, on Chew street, Germantown, opposite Meehan's nurseries, when a lad, shortly after the Centennial exposition in this city. A few years later he sold these greenhouses to Thomas Meehan, who placed William Meehan in charge. Mr. Burton then bought ground with his brother-in-law, Edwin Lonsdale, Wynd- moor, Pa., where they built greenhouses and embarked in business under the BERGER BROS.

MnnHon Tlip Reylew whpn yon write. firm name of Lonsdale & Burton. They prospered as wholesale growers, sep- arating a few years later, Mr. Burton retaining the old place while Mr. Lons- dale built a new one to the west of it. Everything that Mr. Burton did was well done. He gradually improved his place and his products until today it stands as one of the foremost places in the country. To his skill, energy and far-seeing business ability are also due the places of his two sons, Alfred Bur- ^ton and George Burton. Both young men are now in the front rank of our growers. The political significance of Mr. Bur- ton's retirement is the elimination of William Stevens from the cut flower world. For twenty-five years "Billy" Stevens has disposed of the greater part of Mr. Burton's product, all that came to this city. He was considered the hardest working salesman in our busi- ness; the quantity of flowers that he sold each year was enormous. It is understood that Mr. Stevens will see that the flowers reach the market next season in the best possible condition. The further effects of this . change are that the Leo Niessen Co. will receive the cut of an additional 30,000 Beauty plants, besides cypripediums, Killarneys, etc., grown on this place.

It was the eightieth birthday of a lady who was a great lover of flowers, and most of her many gifts came from the flower shops. The exceedingly hot weather we have hadi has made the indoor flowers ex- tremely poor. The outdoor stock is com- ing along slowly but as well as one could expect, considering the hot and dry weather. There are some good gla- dioli to be had, such as Victoria, Amer- ica, Francis King and Pink Beauty, all of which are ready sellers.

Certainly there is no more beautiful place near Boston for a picnic than Cunningham park. W. J. Thurston, manager of the Bos- ton Flower Exchange, was married July 3 to Miss Katherine Mary Bulger at the bride's home in East Boston. The young couple were well remembered by their friends and left on an extended trip July 12. On their return they will reside at 821 Centre street, Ja- maica Plain, Mass. At Thomas F.

The cut flower market was anything but pleasing last week. There was con- siderable business for funerals, but only a little stock came in and the whole- salers cleaned it up each -day before noon. The growers have commenced to pull out the old stock and are preparing the houses for early planting. Hence the market must depend principally on outdoor stofk, which is not of good quality. The best roses that come in are from outside growers. The trade is well suj)- plied with extra good Beauties in all grades. Killameys and Richmonds have to be cut in tight bud, as the ex- tremely hot weather is hard on them in transit. A considerable number of ear- nations were sent in during the week, but they were small in flower and short in stem. The demand for these was heavy, especially for the whites. Gladioli are limited in quantity as yet. The dry weather has kept them back. The local growers send in a lot each morning, but they are cleaned up at from $6 to $10 per hundred for choice. Last year at this time the mar- ket was glutted with them and the local growers were shipping to the Chicago market, but this is not the case so far this year. Easter Hlies sell well. As- ters are plentiful, but of j)oor quality. There is a large sui)i)ly of outdoor flowers. Club Meeting.

Thirty-five members met at 12:30 at the Eads bridge, where a special car was waiting to carry them to Edwards- ville. They arrived there at 2 o'clock and were met at the station by Mr, Ammann and members of his company, and escorted to his home, a block away, where they were joined by a number from Belleville, who raised the total attendance to nearly fifty. An inspec- tion of this well kept place showed that all the houses had been planted and that the young stock of roses, carna- tions and mums was in fine condition. This tour of the houses was a great treat to all the growers. The meeting was called to order at 3 o'clock, on the lawn in front of the greenhouses, under large shade trees, with F. H. Weber presiding and with all the; other officers in attendance. CBairmaii Ossick, of the trustees, told about the arrangements for the coming florists' picnic. H. C. Irish, chairman of the flower show committee, then made a full re- port of the workings of his committee and stated that there was every pros- pect of a grand flower show in the fall.

Orders He introduced Frank Bobinson^ man- ager of the Coliseum, who placed before the members a preliminary list for the show, calling for $8,000 in premiums. The management of the show was to be in the hands of the Coliseum Co. and all the florists would have to do would be to get up a fund of $2,000 to be used for prizes for window displays during flower show week. This proposition was accepted by the members and a commit- tee of twenty was appointed to help in carrying it into effect. William Bouche and Frank Robinson made applications for membership. The nomination of oflScers resulted as follows: President, W. J. Pilcher, C. C. Young and Edwin Denker; vice-presi- dent, Adolph Jaenicke and Henry Blixen; secretary, J. J. Beneke; treas- urer, W. C. Smith; for a three-year term as trustee, Frank Windier, M. Moran and C. Bergstermann. Edwin Denker, state vice-president of the S. A. F., announced that the oflScial route from St. Louis to the Minneapolis convention would be via the Streckfus steamboat line, on the steamer Quincy, which leaves here on Thursday, August 14, and arrives at St. Paul on Monday, August 17. The round trip will cost $28, $32 or $38, according to the loca- tion of the staterooms. This includes all meals. Mr. Denker advised the members to make their reservations at once.

This trip was one of the pleasing fea- tures of the day. On the return to Mr. Ammann 's place, refreshments of vari- ous kinds were served on the lawn, and the members drank to the health of Mr. Ammann, with a rising vote of thanks to the J. F.

San Diego, Cal. — At a meeting of the new board of directors of the San Diego Floral Association July 2, L. A. Blochinan was elected president to suc- ceed Alfred D. Robinson. Miss K. O. Sessions was reelected vice-president and G. T. Keene secretary. Alfred D. Robinson was electe 1 editor of the asso- ciation's monthly magazine, California Garden. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market. A few days of real summer weather and everyone who can go is off for the country. All the stores are more or less short-handed at present, but the ab- sence of a few clerks is not felt at this time, nor will it be, until there is a decided change for the better in busi- ness. Not that it is any wQ^se than it usually is at this time, but the poor quality of the stock and the poorer keeping cause hardships that are not often experienced in California. Roses of all kinds show a tendency to small- ness and poor color. Carnations, espe- cially the red varieties, are also not up to form or color. The hot weather to a certain extent favors the growers more than the retailers, because stock has to be renewed much oftener than is usually the case at this season of the year. Prices have advanced for the better grades of stock and declined for the poorer stock. Sweet peas, gladioli, dahlias and other outside stock are of second quality, but with the return of our cool summer breezes we may expect both a resumption of business and a resumption of the supply of good flowers. Various Notes. George C. Perkins, of Newark, N. Y., who has been in this locality for several days, has turned eastward again. Notice of the death of Robert J. Trumbull, at San Rafael, Cal., is given in this week's obituary column. G. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. The "heated term," or what comes nearest to it in this city and environ- ments, is now on and everyone who can makes for the mountains or the ocean. This causes a dull season for the ordi- nary cut flower business, but that for funeral work has been well maintained and there is no great amount of stock going to waste. In the middle of the day the temperature is high in the su^ some of our local papers even acknowl- edging a temperature as high as 76 de- grees, but it cools off in the afternoon and evening and there is never a night when a good blanket is a discomfort. The man who has no blanket is the one who becomes uncomfortable. Roses from inside are decidedly on the short side and are poor, especially whites. Carnations are only of fair quality and the only flowers that are first-class are gladioli, valley and or- chids. The statices, white, yellow and blue, are being carted around in the full sunlight in open wagons, presum- ably to show their lasting qualities. Centaureas are still in full supply; sweet peas hold out well and there are plenty of small flowers in general. Flower Show at Germain Store. A free flower show was held in the store of the Germain Seed & Plant Co., on Main street, July 10 and following days. The show was gotten up by P. D. Barnhart, who always works assiduously for the public good on such an occasion. He succeeded in getting together a most interesting collection of cut shrubs, herbaceous and other flowers, all of which were correctly labeled and well staged. The center of this large store makes a fine setting for such a show and the room was crowded with inter; ested visitors. Great credit is due Mr. Barnhart for his work in this connec- tion, for such shows have an educa- tional value that eventually redounds to the good of the trade as a whole, and it is to such men as Mr. Barnhart, who works quietly and diligently for the good of the craft generally, that much of the success of California hortipul- ture is due. Among the rarer things shown wore a fine variety of Erythrina speciosa from Mr. Sturtevant, of Hollywood; also a number of choice melaleucas from the Huntington estate and from Mr. Hart, of Sierra Madre. Some ele- gant Spencer sweet peas from the Rout- zahn Seed Co., of Arroyo Grande, and a collection of fruit from the Pioneer Nursery, of Monrovia, were also in- cluded. Various Notes. Murata & Co. have now the entire basement under the store at 751 South Broadway, which gives them far more space, better light and greatly im- proved premises in every way. The office and ice-box have been moved to the front, where artificial light is not needed, and shelving for boxes and other utilities are being installed. Mr. Murata says that shipping business keeps up well, notwithstanding the heat. The H. N. Gage Co. is busy at the Montebello ranch, lifting bulbs of va- rious kinds, and they are surely fine ADVANCE ORDERS, 1913 FALL DELIVERY, OF JAPANESE LILY BULBS and SEEDS Writ* for Catalogue to The Oriental Seed Co., Wholesale €hroweri 220 Cl«m«nt St..

The Florists' Review 45 looking stock. Some of the finest Paper White narcissi I have seen were being hanilled recently, while the freesias, Star of Bethlehem and others, are all fill.' of their kind. Mr. Gage says he is (ijnvinced that as good bulbs can be grown right here as in Holland and can be ripened earlier, and he prophesies a jaim> trade eventually with the eastern gi,r>vers, for forcing. \ aiations are in order and a number ot well known faces are missing from th.ii- usual places. business keeps up well at the Loa Aiij^eles Flower Market and the stock handled is as fine as any in the city. Frill Sperry is now a lonesome bachelor, as Mrs. Sperry has gone to Chicago on a vacation. At Wright's Flower Shop business koHiis up at its usual clip, notwithstand- int; ttie heat, and the fact that some of the staff are now away on vacation makes it pretty hard for those remain- iiif;. A fine weddipg decoration last week at the Van Nuys home consisted Iar>;el.y of trimming the garage, 28x114 feet, with oak branches festooned with pink roses. The yard, 114x250 feet, was also decorated and formed the setting for the table, to seat twenty four guests. The house was treated with rubrum lilies, except one parlor, where Ameri- can Beauty roses were used. The brides- maids carried French canes with sus- jiended showers; the bride had a lovely shower of white orchids and valley. The whole of the lighting and illumi- nating effects were under Tom Wright's personal supervision. Funeral work starts on Monday and keeps up all the week at the Goldensoi) store, according to J.

OS < 46 The Florists' Review July IT, 1913. is one of our most popular growers and everyone present was enthusiastic to think his popularity should be so fit- tingly recognized. Sidney Tomlin has taken a lease of the Gash place at Greenlake, where he purposes to grow carnations. All in the trade wish him well in his new venture. The wind on the afternoon of July 6 was remarkable for this region and did considerable damage, especially around Madison park where it assumed the violence of a small cyclone. C. Hoff- meister was the worst sufferer; about a thousand lights were destroyed at his plant. Carl Melby was also in the line of it, but his loss was not so heavy. One Jiew member was initiated at the monthly meeting of the Florists' Club, July 8. ffhe attendance was not quite so heavy as usual, but, considering the time of year, this is not surprising. Arrangements are in progress to hold the annual picnic about September 15. T. W. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. Business is quiet in every line, with only an occasional funeral or social af- fair to break the monotony. Vacations are the usual topic of conversation. There is plenty of stock to supply all the needs. Carnations are holding out nicely. Roses are poor, with the excep- tion of Carnots and Kaiserins. There a^ a few Hillingdons and Sunburkta from the new stock. Sunl;.:rst will be grown more extensively thij season, be- ing popular among the elite. Outside stock is overplentif ul. Sweet peas have been arriving in such a deluge that there seems to be no standard wholesale price. Auratum lilies are of good qual- ity and are ready sellers. There is a general scarcity of blooming plants, gloxinias and hydrangeas being the only ones available. Valley seems to be plentiful enough to supply the local demand. The greenhouses are the places of greatest activity, on account of the transplanting of the rose and carna- tion stock and the cleaning up of the houses in general. The mums are look- ing fine and are well established. Various Notes. Frank McCabe, tepresenting tlTe A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, was in town last week, on his initial trip. He has the pleasing personality which is a valued asset in' salesmanship. William Zimmerman is on the list of the "newly weds." William Dorsch recently made a set- tlement for $12,000 with the Oregon Electric Co., whose road is to be built across his ranch, taking about four acres in all. It was necessary to re- move several outbuildings to make room for the right of way. Sam Roake, Jr., is also listed in the benedict class. Herbert & Fleishauer, of McMinn- ville, recently sunk a well to a depth of 451 feet. Water was -struck at forty- five feet, but the depth was increased in order to get a greater flow. How- ever, no moisture was found lower than 150 feet. J. L. Fletcher, of Hood RivtSr, was here looking for mum stock. E. R. C.

Mr. Rosen- thal always takes defeat philosophically and his late sjiccesses were well mer- The garden committee of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society visited the nurseries of R. & J. Farquhar & Co. at Dedham last week to inspect the magnificently flowered field of Lilium 4inyriophyllum. A special certificate was awarded in recognition of this lily's desirability as a hardy garden plant as well as a pot plant. The sweet pea show occupied the at- tention of many of the growers last week and notebooks and pencils were plentiful at the show. The sweet pea show has passed and now convention talk is being indulged in and every effort is being made to send a goodly delegation from Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wax enter- tained all the employees of Wax Bros, at their apartments in the Hemenway Chambers Jul/ 9, in honor of their recent wedding.

One house of roses re- mained to be cut back, but all the others were in fine growth. Part of the carnations were planted and look- ing well. The other benches were being emptied and refilled. An air-pressure pump will be installed here. Julius Niednagel is busy and short of flowers. E. L. Niednagel is fast getting every- thing in good shape for the new season. J. C. Elspermann and wife are away on a visit to Chicago and other places. Louis Fritsch says business is good, but flowers are poor and scarce. iliss Nellie Goodge is doing well and is kept busy with something right' along.

Knapp, Lodi, O., reports that July J 3 "hundreds of acres of onions were destroyed by hail in the famous Lodi garden, the largest onion farm in the world. ' ' Headquarteus of the Harper Seed Co., Goshen, Ind., are to be changed from the Mummert building to a one-story building, 22x66 feet which is to be erected on West Lincoln street. For several years the acreage of radish in Michigan increased steadily, and rapid- ly, but lor the last three year's the acre- age has been stationary ; even a slight re- duction this year. The onion acreage for seed, both the globe and the flat varieties, in the vicinity of Chillicothe, O., according to Schilder Bros., still are in excellent shape, with every prospect of a fine crop. The taritf bill was reported to the Senate July 11 in the exact form in which the trade paragraphs were printed in The Review of June 26. It is thought there will be no further changes before the bill becomes law. There have been two good showers in the Chicago onion set district in the last week, but they were rather late to lielp the crop. After the sets have passed a certain stage rain results in a growth that makes thick necks. Fire destroyed the bluegrajs seed cleaning plant of E. F. Spears & Sons, Paris, Ky., July 3. A great quantity of bluegrass seed, most of it already cleaned, was stored in the place. The loss is about $60,000, partly covered by insurance. Burnett Bros., seedsmen, now at 72 Cortlandt street. New York, have leased the property at 98 Chambers street, be- tween Church street and Broadway. The lease is for a term of years, and provides for a long term extension, based on an appraisal to be made for Grace church, owner of the fee. • W.

The first shipment of the season of Harrisii bulbs from Bermuda reached New York July 7 in the following con- signments: Consignee. Crossmond, S. D., & Co. Plerson, F. U., Co Vaughan's Seed Store... Cases. , .. 59 . . . 149 , .. 152 Tottl 360 PAGE'S PLANT'S PBOSPEBITT. It is said that the establishment of which Charles N. Page is the head did a business this season amounting to $487,000, with approximately 207,000 or- ders. The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, was organized just twenty-five years ago, and in its first year did a business of $28,000, but the real start was in 1865, when George A. Jewett opened a small seed store. S. L. Fuller bought it in 1870 and continued it until 1878, when he sold out to C. W. Dorr. Mr. Dorr was succeeded by E. T. Pierce, M. Kurtzweil and Charles N. Page, oper- ating under the corporate title. In 1908 J. N. Albright, Geo. L. Kurtzweil and F. H. Page were admitted to inter- ests in the company. In addition to its store and warehouse the company also has a greenhouse establishment representing an investment of $30,000, seven new houses having recently been added. At Altoona a farm of 120 acres is operated and over 1,000 acres are under seed crop on contract. LIMITATIONS IN ADAPTATION. "Any careful observer can not have failed to notice the material difference often seen in the character of plants of the same species, and even of the same garden variety, when grown on different soils and exposures, and that one plant will reach its most attractive and useful development where another, possibly of the same species, and even supposedly of the same variety, will develop but poorly," said W. W. Tracy, formerly with D. M. Ferry & Co., but now iuvthe U. S. Department of Agri- culture, in a recent address at Boston. "I think ft needs no further discussion to show that in order to secure the most satisfactory results in quantity and form, we must plant seed which is not only uniformly of the varietal forms which will be most satisfactory but which has been so grown as to be the most perfectly adapted to that particu- lar climate and soil, and for the par- ticular use for which it was planted. We think this is not universally prac- ticed by even our most careful planters. Growers from Maine to Florida depend upon California for their lettuce seed. The Boston grower who forces a crop in midwinter uses seed grown in the same California fields as that used by a Norfolk or Florida planter for an out- door crop. If the variety and the stock was the best possible for use in one set of conditions it can hardly be the best possible for the other. We have found that by growing lettuce seed un- der glass we were enabled to select and breed from plants which did much bet- ter inside than otherwise equally good and carefully selected plants grown in DIRECT IMPORTATIONS Fall and Spring Shipments Valley Pips.

The Montreal melon is different in character and is grown and handled differently, but the growers, like those of Rocky Ford, use locally grown seed carefully tried and selected so as to secure the best possible adaptation to local conditions and requirements. "No two farms are exactly alike in climate and productive energies, no two men will follow identical cultural meth- ods, and the varietal character of a vegetable which will give the best satis- faction and profit on one farm and for one market will not be as satisfactory in another, so that the best possible re- sults can only come from the use of seed from which it is possible for you to produce a superlative quality, at least of those vegetables upon which your reputation and profit chiefly de- pend. "How can such seed be secured? I have had an intimate connection with American seedsmen for over thirty years and I believe them to be quite as honorable and considerate of their customers ' needs as any class of mer- chants, but they are in business for the sake of personal profit rather than from altruistic motives, and can not be ex- pected to push the sale, or to long continue to oflfer varieties or special stocks which aflFord them little or no ])rofit. Often a certain- variety can be depended upon to give a good yield of seed in one location, but rarely more than a light crop in another, although what seed you do get is apt (not cer- tain) to yield a large crop of better quality in the second location than seed from the location which gives the larger seed crop. Can you expect the seeds- man to persistently grow his seed in a location where the crop is apt to be a failure or to push the sale or long con- tinue to offer a stock which affords him no profit? I have known of many in- stances where a variety or special stock materially better than that generally used has never come into the general planter's hands and has dropped out of cultivation because the seedsmen could not handle it with profit.

Everyone did his best to give the visitors a hearty wel- come. One of the many notable features was the floral and electrical parade held Tuesday evening, July 8. Nearly 200 automobiles took their places in the parade. The car exhibited by George T. Boucher exhausted a good quantity of American Beauty and red rambler roses, and was fashioned like a yacht and out- lined with 100 electric light bulbs. The effect was pretty and rightly deserved the first prize for the most unique deco- ration. Another car which also won a first prize was that of George B. Hart. This was a pergola the frame of which was made of wire covered with white cloth and artistically decorated with a profusion of rambler roses and Aspara- gus plumosus. There were many other cars of great beauty, but our two flo- rists are to be congratulated on carry- ing, oflf the two first prizes. It is inter- esting to note that there are six Elks belonging to the Eochester Florists ' As- sociation. Most of the florists have been inter- ested in the convention, as will be no- ticed. H. E. Wilson had a good window display of purple and white flowers with ribbons to match. The Rochester Floral Co\ had a large emblem, a clock face, thirty-six inches in diameter, made oi paper cape flowers and chenille. Henry P. Neun had a mountain scene with a large herd of elks making their way into the valley. Crosman Bros, used two large emblems, wonderfully ar- ranged and made entirely of seeds, their different colors making a beautiful contrast. The stores of J. B. Keller Sons and Salter Bros, were decorated also. Various Notes. • J. H. Werdein has had four busy days playing in one of the city bands, boost- ing Denver. H. E.

Thirty-ninth annual meeting, Cleveland, O., June 23 to 26, 1913. Packing houses on the nursery of E. Moody & Sons, Lockport, N. Y., Were burned July 3. It is supposed that tramps started the blaze. "Wm. a. Peterson, proprietor of Peter- sou Nursery, Chicago, is in Yellowstone with his son, while Ben Gage, Mr. Peter- son's right hand man, is in New England with his family. The oflSces of the Albany Nurseries, Inc., of Albany, Ore., have been moved from the Schmitt-Hunt building to the fourth floor of the new First National Bank building. The tariff bill was reported to the Senate July 11 in the exact form in which the trade paragraphs were printed in The Review of June 26. It is thought there will be no further changes before the bill becomes law. Henry Meuschke, proprietor of the Saxonwald Nursery, Castle Shannon, Pa., and his wife were passengers on the big Hamburg-American steamship, Imperator, when it started on its maiden voyage June 25. This is Mr. Meuschke 's first visit to his native land. Saxony, which he left over forty-five years ago. IN IOWA. "We have jiist closed a most satis- factory season's business, being the largest in our history, ' ' says C. E. Gard- ner, treasurer of the Gardner Nursery Co., Osage, la. . " We ha.ve had to greatly increase our plantings," he added, "and among other things we have thirty-eight acres set solidly to the new everbearing strawberries. We have been working with them for the last five years and our prophecy is that these new everbearers will take the place of the common, once-a-year-fruit- ing varieties within the next few years. "We' enjoy reading the nursery notes in The Florists' Review and would be glad to see that department of your valuable paper made larger." iBtJTY ON APPLE SEEDS. ITnder the present tgriflE liiw apple seeds pay a duty of 10 cents per pound; which is equivalent to $4 per bushel. Under the new bill as it came from the House the duty would have become ten per cent ad valorem, which would have been an extremely sharp reduction, ai the present rate is equal to from thirty to forty per cent, depending on the market price in Europe. Under the bill VVC arc in a t'OM IIOII tij^t wlU be decidedly attractive to any. one who is BUYINQ TO SBLL AOAIN.

The Mftrket. Trade has been fair, notwithstanding the extremely hot weather that we have been having. There has been consid- erable funeral work, but outside of that it is decidedly quiet. Stock has been scarce; there are not enough lilies to go around. Shasta daisies have been plentiful and sell well. Beauties, roses and carnations have also been selling well. Indoor peas are a thing of the past and the outdoor ones are not ar- riving in any quantity. The demand for vaHey and orchids is light. Green goods ire in fair supply. Various Notes. Robert Fohl has had a successful sea- son with his Shasta daisies this year, having cut them by the thousands for the in£|ket. W^ffrer Hanson, formerly with E. A.

[Concluded from page ll.l Three publications have been issued, and the writer is rapidly putting into final form all the descriptive notes on . varieties. This material will be ready for publication at the close of the pres- ent season. The publications which we have already issued have had a gratify- ing reception not only in this country but in England. ' This year the seeds which were re- ■ ceiyed for trial were sown singfy in - 3-ineh pots during the last week in March. Each pot was carefully labeled, teo that no mixing of varieties ill haa- dlinig could possibly happen. The pote ^ ,were placed in the greenhouse un.til germination occurred and then were transferred to coldframes, where they remained until they were planted in the field. The preparation of the land was similar to that which we have practiced heretofore. There was no rain for three weeks after transplanting, and for a time we thought the chances of success unfavorable. However, the plants grew well after the rains and began to bloom about June 20. This year we have abandoned the use of string as a sup- port, and have employed wire netting. This serves the purpose well, except in the case of some varieties which re- quired tying to the netting. In addi- tion to the 150 varieties sown in pots, about 100 varieties were planted in the open ground. Owing to the late, cold season these were not planted until April 18, and at the present time only the Blanche Ferry and its near relatives are in bloom in this part of the trial grounds. On the other hand, the plants from seed sown in pots are now bloom- ing freely and are making a splendid show. This affords an excellent illus- tration of the relative earliness of the same varieties grown by the two sys- tems. Among the varieties of recent intro- duction now growing on the trial grounds are: Barbara, Bertie Usher, Betty, Blue Jacket, Captivation, Spencer, Chastity, Coronation, Cyril Unwin, Debbie's Cream, Edith Taylor, Irish Belle, John Ridd, Lady Evelyn Eyre, Lady Knox, Leslie Imb§r, Margaret Madison, Loy- alty, Mauve Queen, May Campbell, Melba, Millie Moslin Spencer, Mrs. Cuthbertson, Mrs. Heslington, Mrs. T. W. Warren, Orion, Pearl Gray Spencer, Primrose Beauty, Princess May, Red Star, Rosabelle, Scarlet Empress, Scar- let Emperor, Vermilion Brilliant, Wini- fred Unwin, Zarina Spencer, Andrew Aitken, April, Brunette, Bolton's Scar- let, Charm, Clematis, Bobbie's Scarlet and Debbie's True Lavender, Earl of Lovelace, Ella Kelway, Felicity, Gustav Hamel, Grace Darling, Helen Pierce Spencer, Inspector, Lillian, Laura Wy- att, Lila, Lord Nelson Spencer, Lady Miller, May Perrett Spencer, Mrs. E. Cowdy, Mrs. Reginald Hill, and South- cote Blue. At the present time, so far as we have studied the varieties, it appears 'that those of merit are: Maj- Campbell— Marbled carmine on cream ground. Charm (Fordhook Fairy)— White suffused wltb delicate blush lilac. .» ^ ,,. Orchid — Rich, deep lavender suffused with pink. Debbie's Scarlet— Brilliant scarlet. ' Lady Evelyn Eyre— A large blush variety. Llla — A distinct variety; standards faint lilac de(>per at midrib; wings light primrose. Orion — Crimson. Mrs. Cuthbertson— Rose pink standard and white flushed, pale-rose wings. Walter P. Wright— Bluish lavender. At the present date we would report that Inspector is better than Melba, and that both are better than Earl Spencer. The former shows a good per- centage of doubles. Debbie's Scarlet appears to be the best of the bright scarlets, although Red Star is good. Margaret Madison is doubtless better than Flora Norton Spencer. Leslie Im- ber and Southcote Blue are no better than the latter. Helen Pierce Spencer, May Farquhar, Lord Nelson Spencer and Millie Maslin Spencer are ' good, but will report on them later. Loyalty, Bertie Usher and Blue Jacket are blue-striped varieties. Cyril Unwin resembles Arthur Green, Tfcere are several cream-pink, white, orange, maroon and mauve varieties, but nothing which at this date is superior to the standard varieties. These brief notes are subject to pos- sible revision after further study, and the members of the society are referred to our forthcoming report for complete descriptions and comparisons of varie- ties. The recently organized department of floriculture proposes to continue to test new varieties of sweet peas each sea- son and hopes that the work which has A. Dietsch Company 2640 Sheffield Aye.

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, A CIX)SED SYSTEM. I note in The Review for July 3 a reference to a closed system of green- house heating, using hot water under pressure. Will you please tell me how this can be done with a regular hot water system? E. L. The system is "closed" with a mer- cury seal, sometimes advertised in The Review as a "regulator" and some- times as a "generator." The effect is to seal the outlet to the expansion tank, so that the water must become hotter than otherwise would be the case to push aside the seal and escape to the tank. The device keeps the water un- der a pressure greater than the atmos- pheric pressure and increases the heat- ing capacity of the boiler by permitting the water to be heated to a consider- ably higher temperature than would be possible under atmospheric pressure. The regulator or generator can be used in connection with any boiler, but the manufacturer should be consulted as to whether or not the boiler was designed to stand the additional strain the system puts on it.

Why? You burn the smoke. No dollars going up the stack with our boilers. Save from 25 to 30 per cent on your fuel bill. By means of the magazine on top, which feeds automatically and requires filling only about once in 24 hours, you can keep an even, continuous fire without opening the doors, and only shak- ing three times each night. Even in the coldest weather, our boilers require only about six minutes of your time during the night. By means of a rigid test, we know what our boilers will save you.

It is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but— more flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel ; the water heats quicker and hotter, be- cause the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller.

This policy covers damage to the assured, damage to the property of any other person or persons for which the assured will be liable, and for bodily injuries, including death at any time resulting therefrom. I am sure that you will be more than pleased with the service of the Travelers and the inspection of the boiler by our in- spectors is well worth the price asked for the policy. You will understand that you are exonerated from the state 82 The Florists' Review July 17, 1913. inspection, with the exception of a 50-cent charge, which they make when sending you a certificate." The subscriber should apply to the State Boiler Inspector, Columbus, O., for a copy of the state law covering the operation of steam boilers. The appli- cation of the law to any individual case is not one on which The Review would care to pass an opinion. If the correspondent is in doubt after a care- ful reading of the law, he would better consult his attorney. In general it may be stated, however, that the state boiler inspection laws do not apply to greenhouse boilers operated under the gravity or low pressure systems. Where effort has been made to bring green- house boilers under some such new law, the florists, by getting together, some- times with the aid of an attorney, have been able to get an interpretation to their satisfaction. Boiler insurance, however, is a good thing, provided it be written on equable terms. The risk is not so great on greenhouse boilers as on those run under higher pressures. THE COAL SITUATION. The amount of summer storage coal which has been brought up so far is, according to reports, smaller than usual. Probably half of the retail dealers have as much coal in storage as they are accustomed to have at this time of year. Not many of them have been taking in speculative shipments and those getting their supply on contract are not so heavily stocked with smokeless as they are usually at this date. Then there is another fifty per cent who held off when prices were advanced and took practically no coal on contract. These are now trying to get coal on contract and on the spot market, but have little success. In Chicago, particularly, the quantity of smokeless coal in storage is away below the average. There has been buying of eastern coal to a certain extent, but the amount of western coal purchased for storage is much lower th&n usual. In addition to these facts there comes still the rumor of coming labor diflSculties. The report from Louisville says: "The labor situation in the east- ern Kentucky coal fields will center more and more attention with the ap- proach of September 1, when, according to the threats of numerous union or- ganizers who have been circulating through this field for the last several months, some of the leading operating companies will have to meet union de- mands or close down." The railroad situation is likewise far from promising. The roads are not now in the best of condition and, as the grain shipments increase in volume, the railroads will decrease in efficiency. When, in addition, the fall movement of goods begins, the roads will be still less able to take care of shipments prop- erly and, if called upon to handle an unusually heavy coal business, are like- ly to be swamped.

Considering the high temperature, the stock that is to be had is in fair condition and reasonably plentiful. ^ A Oreenhouse Boiler that fairly shot into fame Here is tbe boiler that is making the most wonderful greenhouse heating record in the world. Florists and gardeners who have used other makes are constantly giving the Kro«schall Qraanhous* Boll*r the highest praise. The Kroeschell has the highest stand- ard of heating values. Immense Self-cleaning Heating Surface, Long- est Fire Travel, Perfect Combustion, Free Cir- culation, Thin Water- ways, Honest Working Capacities, Unequaled Fuel Economy. the Kroeschell has replaced hundreds of cast iron boilers. In every case higher tem- peratures are secured with the Kroeschell with tbe same piping and with less fuel. We have no agents. The Kroeschell i^ Eold direct from factory to users. This eliminates the unnecessary mid- dleman's profit. Unlike Cast Iron Boilers, which cannot be depended upon to carry their ratings even when crowded wifh hard coal, "tha Kroaachall" again excels because— every Kroeschell Boiler is honaatly ratad and suarantaad to carry the glass and pipe capacities stated in our catalogue to 60 dasraaa at IB balow zaro.

The subscriber should apply to the State Boiler Inspector, Columbus, O., for a copy of the state law covering the operation of steam boilers. The appli- cation of the law to any individual case is not one on which The Review would care to pass an opinion. If the correspondent is in doubt after a care- ful reading of the law, he would better consult his attorney. In general it may be stated, however, that the state boiler inspection laws do not apply to greenhouse boilers operated under the gravity or low pressure systems. Where effort has been made to bring green- house boilers under some such new law, the florists, by getting together, some- times with the aid of an attorney, have been able to get an interpretation to their satisfaction. Boiler insurance, however, is a good thing, provided it be written on equable terms. The risk is not 80 great on greenhouse boilers as on those run under higher pressures. THE COAL SITUATION. The amount of summer storage coal which has been brought up so far is, according to reports, smaller than usual. Probably half of the retail dealers have as much coal in storage as they are accustomed to have at this time of year. Not many of them have been taking in speculative shipments and those getting their supply on contract are not so heavily stocked with smokeless as they are usually at this date. Then there is another fifty per cent who held off when prices were advanced and took practically no coal on contract. These are now trying to get coal on contract and on the spot market, but have little success. In Chicago, particularly, the quantity of smokeless coal in storage is away below the average. There has been buying of eastern coal to a certain extent, but the amount of western coal purchased for storage is much lower th&n usual. In addition to these facts there comes still the rumor of coming labor difficulties. The report from Louisville says: "The labor situation in the east- ern Kentucky coal fields will center more and more attention with the ap- proach of September 1, when, according to the threats of numerous union or- ganizers who have been circulating through this field for the last several months, some of the leading operating companies will have to meet union de- mands or close down." The railroad situation is likewise far from promising. The roads are not now in the best of condition and, as the grain shipments increase in volume, the railroads will decrease in efficiency. When, in addition, the fall movement of goods begins, the roads will be still less able to take care of shipments prop- erly and, if called upon to handle an unusually heavy coal business, are like- ly to be swamped. WASHINGTON, D. C. The Market. Aside from funeral work there is lit- tle or no demand for flowers at this time. Considering the high temperature, the stock that is to be had is in fair condition and reasonably plentiful. A Greenhouse Boiler that fairly shot into fame Here is the boiler that is making the most wonderful greenhouse heating record In tiie world. Florists and gardeners who have used other makes are constantly giving the Kro«*ch«ll Qr«*nhous« Bollar the highest praise. The Kroeschell has the highest stand- ard of heating valaes. Immense Self-cleaning Heating Surface, Long- est Fire Travel, Perfect Combustion, Free Cir- culation, Thin Water- ways, Honest Working Capacities, Unequaled Fuel Economy. The KroescheD has replaced hundreds of cast iron boilers. In every case higher tem- peratures are secured with the Kroeschell with the same piping and with less fuel. We have no agents. The Kroeschell iB Eold direct from factory to users. This eliminates the unnecessary mid- dleman's profit. Unlike Cast Iron Boilers, which cannot be depended upon to carry their ratings even when crowded wifh bard coal, "tha Kreaachall" again excels because— every Kroeschell Boiler is honaatly rated and suarantaad to carry the glass and pipe capacities stated in our catalogue to 60 dosrooa at 15 bolow zoro. Any kind of fuel can be used. Our ratlnca are easily maintained with the cheapest grades of coal.

This concern also has added a Commerce delivery car to its equip- ment. Lewis Holman and Walter Hawley are visiting relatives of the latter in New York. Raymond Garrett, who is in the employ of O. A. C. Oehmler, will spend this month at his former home in Ma- nassas, Va. Among the visitors in town were the following from Philadelphia: T. Ros- nosky, with the H. F. Michell Co.; Robert Shoch, with the M. Rice Co.; Joseph Goudy, with Henry Dreer, Inc., and Dennis Connor, representing Lord & Burnham Co. Fred H. Kramer is preparing for the trip with the members of the Minute Men who are going abroad this fall. He looks pretty nifty in his captain- commissary's uniform, although not quite so picturesque as he did when he participated in the Fourth of July pa- rade, dressed as an Italian organ grind- er. We have not seen Adolphus Gude in his outfit yet. He is going also. The several establishments liere where women are employed are again facing the possible enactment of the La FoUette bill, which limits the labor of all female employees to not more than eight hours per day, and to six days per week. This bill has already passed the Senate. If it becomes law the ladies employed in at least one store will be requested to look for other positions. William F. Gude and family have re- turned from a short trip to Elkins Park, Pa. During their visit to that place short motor trips were taken over the surrounding country and an opportunity was afforded them to in- spect the new rose plant and dairy of the Joseph Heacock Co., at Roelofs. Frank Slye is spending a three weeks ' vacation on a farm in St. Marys county, Md. W. F. Gutchall, formerly with George Shaffer, has opened a stand in the market at Seventh and P streets, N.

Building and repairing seem to be the order of the day while business is dull in the summer. The fall promises to find the houses in this vicinity in the best condition as a whole that they have ever been in. Mclntyre Bros, have recently incor- porated their business and are planning several new houses. They will later dismantle the old place, having pur- chased several acres of land adjacent to the new plant. The new houses are to be larger than any they have hith- erto built. Joe Brown had planned the rebuild- ing of his entire plant, replacing the old houses with new Moninger houses of larger size. Work was already in progress when his physician ordered him to Colorado for his health. As a result, no new houses will be erected at present, but the old houses are being well repaired. Mr. Brown leaves for the west this week. He has the sym- pathy of the fraternity and all wish him good luck and a rapid recovery. Tom Joy, Jr., with his family and a number of friends, has been out on Caney Fork fishing for the last three weeks. He needed the rest badly, but look out for the fish stories when he returns. The new rose, Fireflame, has produced a few blooms at the Joy place. It has a beautiful bud and is certainly of a striking color, though it remains to be seen whether a single rose will be popular here. Mr. Geny says that there is nothing rushing at present, though business is fair for July. They have a good cut of nearly all seasonable flowers, though the quality is not of the best. McKay, Reece & Co. say that it is al- most impossible to secure cow peas for the late trade. The good rains of the last week have put the ground in fine condition and there would be a large acreage sown if the seed could be had. Should the present cool weather con- tinue, with plenty of rain, they expect quite a revival of business. Haury & Sons are planning some new houses, to be erected this summer. Their trade has been growing right along dur- ing the last two years. Their business has always been heavier in pot plants than in cut flowers, but it is understood that they will grow a larger area of cut flowers in the future, as their business in this line is demanding it. F. B. Coshocton, O. — John M. Wells has purchased the Maple Bend Greenhouse and is preparing to open his new place of business shortly. McAlester, Okla. — William Weaver, florist and nurseryman, has been ap- pointed park superintendent. This is a new office and carries no salary.

Her window decorations are unusually eflfective and are appreciated by the public. Henry J.

Simon Humfeld, whose greenhouses and store have recently been conducted by the Muncie Floral Co., has now leased the property to Mrs. A. P. An- drew. The lease of the Muncie Floral Co. expired July 1, one day before the firm's business went into the hands of a receiver. Mr. Humfeld has been out of business for the last two years.

The Florists' Review COMMERCIAL FLORICULTURE TO BE TAUGHT IN CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS VOCATIONAL SCHOOL PLANNED. Chicago to Lead the Country. To teach the aspiring apprentice flo- rist I he "why" as well as the "how" of hiN occupation is the plan of the Chi- cagii public school authorities. Tlif vocational schools of Chicago are famous the educational world over — but thev have only reached the stage of prov.il practicability; the day of expan- sion is .iust dawning. During the last school year only five vocational courses have l)een given, but they have been so sucK't'ssful that many others will be added as fast as the necessary organiza- tion can be developed. A course in commercial plant growing, to eventu- ally include ev«ry phase of the subject, will lie one of the first to be established if present plans do not miscarry. It will be the first school of the kind in America. Beinberg Enthusiastic. Peter Reinberg, who was the pioneer among the Chicago growers of cut flow- ers to build glass by the acre, is presi- dent of the Chicago board of education and is enthusiastic in his advocacy of the vocational schools, particularly the proposed school for florists and gar- deners. He is the largest employer of labor in the greenhouses within the city limits of Chicago and knows the needs and ambitions of the boys just starting in the trade as few other men do. But the man to whom the trade really will owe the school for florists is Will- iam M. Roberts. Mr. Roberts for years was assistant superintendent of schools in Chicago, but recently was relieved of that office to become district superin- tendent in charge of vocational schools and the various special classes that have been instituted to meet the needs of <'hieago's cosmopolitan population. It '8 to Mr. Roberts that the board has entrusted the duty of extending the trade schools, free to all citizens of Chi- <'ago between 16 and 21 years of age. He is even more enthusiastic than Mr. Reinberg in his belief that a school for gardeners will "fill a long-felt want." The Present Schools. The range of activities under the direction of Mr. Roberts already is something remarkable. There are night schools for day workers and day schools for night workers — even a class in a downtown school to teach English to SUBJECTS on which instruction will eventually be given : PROPAGATION CUT FLOWER GROWING POT PLANT GROWING HARDY PLANTS NURSERY PRACTICE LANDSCAPE WORK VEGETABLE FORCING MARKET GARDENING SOIL FERTILITY MARKETING METHODS CUT FLOWER ARRANGEMENT GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION GREENHOUSE HEATING PLANT DISEASES the foreign-born women who scrub in otfice buildings all night. One of the latest is a school for cooks, the pupils being apprentices in hotel and restau- rant kitchens, chefs in embryo. The course includes cleanliness and sanita- tion as well as the culinary art. The trade schools are a part of the high school course. The beginning was made with the building and allied trades and was with the backing of the unions and the employers' associations. Any boy in high school is permitted to take a vocational course if he wishes, but that is not the purpose of the school. The idea is to draw the pupils from the apprentices who are working in the trade. Take the electrical work- ers as an example. The classes meet one forenoon each week, in a room in a high school that has been fitted up with $15,000 worth of equipment. By an arrangement between the union and the employers' association, the appren- tices are given the time off with pay. The carpenters' course is a little differ- ent. There are daily classes for three months each winter. The course is like the apprenticeship, four years. The pupils from all parts of the city attend the one class, as their number is not large enough to justify any other plan. The instruction in the vocational classes is as close to the working practice as circumstances will permit; it is in the hands of instructors who have worked at the trades and who know the points on which beginners are weakest. In the five building-trades classes there are 600 pupils. The Plan. The plan Mr. Roberts has in mind for florists is to establish a course in the fine new Nicholas Senn high school, which is right on the edge of the green- house district- on the north side. The plans for the building contemplate the erection of a greenhouse to be used lio produce plants for the structure and grounds. Although President Reinberg has expressed his belief in the inade- quacy of this greenhouse for practical purposes, it can be added to as the needs develop. An instructor is being sought and one of the qualifications will be familiarity with a number of depart- ments of the business, so that he can take up subject after subject as the interest develops. There are three or four state institu- Nicholas SeoD High School, Where Chicago Proposes to Statt a Public Vocational School for Florists and Gardeners.

For the undertak- ing in the Chicago public schools ho immediate appropriation is needed. Class room and equipment are ready. The high school funds available to the vocati6nal department can be used for the necessary salary. Indeed, the ^oard rules shouU! make the opportunity at- tractive to the best men in the business. While: the regulations do not permit paying a high salary at the start, sal- aries advance automatically as time passes and it is possible to reach $2,600 for ten months ' work. Practical Work. The course will be started in Septem- ber if Mr. Roberts is insured of a class of twenty or more. No vocational courses can be started with less. The question of what to teach will be de- cided by the wishes of those who want to be taught. Mr. Roberts is in con- sultation with H. B. Dorner, who has charge of the work for floriculture at the University of Illinois; with W. N. Budd, who probably has given the sub- ject more thought than has anyone not actually engaged in educational work; with Fred Heuchling, secretary of the West Parks civil service commission, whose experience has shown the need of such a school; with E. A. White, who has charge of the floricultural classes at Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst; with the horticultural depart- ment at Cornell, where florists' sons go for their college course, and with lead- ing growers in the city. While the work being done at these institutions is being investigated, it is not with a view to adopting anything but the prac- $80 per year for those who take a fjill course of five studies and proportion- ately lower in the case of special courses. Mr.. Roberts welcomes suggestions from the trade. He wants to start a school for florists and gardeners that shall have a wide and permanent use- fulness. He should be addressed: Wm. \i. Roberts, District Superintendent of Schools, Tribune building, Chicago. COLLEGE WORK FOB FLORISTS. Studies for those intending to engage in the growing of flowers for commer- cial purposes are provided in the depart- ment of floriculture of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. Instruction in floriculture along general lines has been given since the beginning of the work of the department of horticulture and almost all its graduates have had more or less experience in both green- house and outdoor work. There is now, however, a separate department of flori- culture, which adapts its instruction to the florists' needs. The rapid development of fruit-grow- ing, floriculture and vegetable-growing as distinct occupations has resulted in a demand for men specially trained along a particular line, rather than men broadlj' trained in the whole subject of horticulture. In order to meet the grow- ing demand for trained florists by pro- viding special courses of instruction and for the purpose of developing the in- vestigative work, a department of flo- riculture has been organized. Aims of the Department. The department of floriculture has three principal aims — to give instruc- Hydrangea Otaksa Growo at Port Allegany Grcenhouaes. tical features of the instruction given. The Chicago idea is practical in all things. EligibUity. The rules of the Chicago board of education make the school age from 6 to 21 years; the vocational schools are for those from 16 to 21, but in cases of those above 21 years who wish to share in the advantages offered the board has granted special permits. It will no doubt do so in the case of flo- rists. The schools are free to all resi- dents within the city limits; non-resi- dents mtiet pay tuition, which is only tion at the college; to conduct investiga- tions, field studies, and surveys aiming to help in solving the floricultural prob- lems of commercial florists throughout New York state and to give information and assistance to intending planters of home and public grounds in the state. The instruction given at the college is intended to meet the needs of ama- teur flower-growers; to provide instruc- tion for students in other lines of horti- culture who wish to get a knowledge of some of the fundamental principles of floriculture; to train students for teaching and investigative work in flo- riculture in colleges and experiment bta- tions and to prepare students for pro fessional work. Classroom EquipmeDt. The equipment is divided into t vo parts; that belonging to the classrocmis and oflSces is on the second floor of the main building and that connected with the forcing-house and gardens, as veil as with the experimental areas, is in the field. Lectures are given in the headquar- ters of the department on the second floor of the main building. The larger lecture room, which is provided with a stereopticon, has a seating capacity of 120 persons. The smaller lecture room seats thirty-five, besides containing the herbarium. The remainder of the floor is used for offices for the instructing staff. Large display cases lining the corridor are filled with horticultural specimens, tools and various appliances. In addition to the large collection of floricultural books in the university library, the department is fortunate in possessing the large private library of the late Professor John Craig. This contains 3,000 volumes, many of which are on floricultural subjects and are available for the use of advanced stu- dents. Greenhouses and Gardens. The greenhouses completed in 1910^ together with the contemplated addi- tions to be erected during the present year, cover an area , of about 8,000 square feet. The range consists of a conservatory and propagating house and a house for the culture of roses, carna- tions, chrysanthemums, sweet peas and other greenhouse plants. These build- ings are used by all classes in floricul- ture and afford space for advanced and graduate students investigating special problems. The service building is a two-story structure containing labora- tories, an office and seed storage and tool rooms. The department has bee« assigned twenty acres of land for its large col- lections of peonies, irises, perennial phloxes, roses, sweet peas, gladioli and miscellaneous annual and perennial flowers. These collections afford valua- ble material for study and namerous problems for investigation. Aside from ordinary equipment, the garden herbarium, with more than l-r 000 sheets, is an important aid in the study of plant variation. There is also a good collection of negatives illustrat- ing the growing of flowers, which is being added to continually and whi h furnishes a useful source for lantern slides for illustrating recent methols in the management and construction of forcing-houses and the growing of flo]V- ers in the field and under glass. Toe department has a collection of 1,0' '0 lantern slides, to which additions a''^ constantly being made. Regular Courses of Instruction. The following courses of instructi'i are regularly given by the department^ Greenhouse Management. — Studies of the principles and practice of propaga- tion, soils, potting, ' shifting, watering. ventilation, fumigation, and the like, of florists' plants.

Methods of selection and hybridization as means of improvement are carefully considered. Extension. — A study of" the problems of university extension in agriculture. Practice in the oral and written pres- entation of topics in agriculture, with criticism and individual conferences on the technique of' public speech. Rural Improvement. — A course of six lectures, commencing after the Christ- mas recess, dealing with questions of rural improvement and intended to give the farm boy a general view of land- scape art, together with specific hints for working out some of his home prob- lems. Inveetigations by the Department. Because of the lack of greenhouse fa- cilities, investigations in floriculture have been confined to outdoor problems. In 1904 the American Peony Society and the department of horticulture at Cornell University arranged a cooper- ative experiment for the purpose of studying all the varieties of peonies. The objects sought were to bring order out of the confusion of nomenclature so as to furnish growers with the cor- rect names and accurate descriptions of authentic varieties; to study the bo- tanical status of the species and varie- ties, and to study methods of culture, varieties best adapted for special pur- pose?, use of fertilizers, keeping quali- ties and the like. The same general work has been undertaken with sweet peas and gladioli in cooperation with the National Sweet Pea Society and the American Gladiolus Society, respective- ly. In addition to the above, large col- lections of China asters, irises, peren- nial phloxes and climbing roses are being planted for investigative pur- poses. Four publications on peonies and two on sweet peas have been printed. Others will appear as results are ob- tained. HAET'S PBIZE- WINNING FLOAT. The floral float shown on this page was one of the two entered by florists which won first prizes in the floral and electrical parade held July 8 in con- nection with the Elks' convention at Rochester, N. Y. George B. Hart, who entered the float, is seated in the back seat of the car. The frame of the per- gola is made of wire covered with white cloth and the decorations are rambler roses and Asparagus plumosus. PORT ALLEGANY OTAKSA8. M. E. G. Ventres, proprietor of the Port Allegany Greenhouses, at Port Allegany, Pa., is not a specialist in hydrangeas in the sense of devoting most of his time to them, for he grows a general line of stock and sells it at both wholesale and retail. But he does aim to be a specialist in hydrangeas in the sense of giving special attention to their culture and using his best skill in an effort to produce plants of a spe- cially high grade. As evidence of the success of this endeavor, he has sub- mitted some photographs, one of which is here reproduced. It shows three plants of Hydrangea Otaksa, taken from a large number of others of equal- ly good quality. From three to Ave blooms, he says, had been cut from each of the plants before the photo- graph was taken. Bichmond, Ind. — J. E.

Investigations by the Department. Pecause of the Lack of greenhouse fa cilities, investigations in lloriculf ure li;i\e been confined to outdoor problems. In 1904 the .Vmerican Peony Society and the department of hmticulture at (,'ornell I'nix'ersity arranged a coiipi'i- ative experiment for the purpose of studying all the varieties of peonies. 'i'he objects sought were to bring order out of the confusion of nomenclature so as to furnish growers with the cor- i-ect names and accurate descriptions of authentic varieties; to study the bo tanical status of the species and varie ties, and to study methods of culture, varieties best adajited for special pur- poses, use of fertilizers, keeping (juali- ties and the like. The same general work has been undertaken with sweet peas and gladioli in cooperation with till' National Sweet Pea >Society and the .\iiiericaii (iladioliis Societv, respective ly. Ill addition to the above, large col lections of ('hina asters, irises, peren- nial phloxes and climbing roses are lieing planted for investigative pur- poses. Four publications on peonies and two on sweet peas have been printed. Others will appear as results are ob taineil. HART'S PRIZE-WINNING FLOAT.

Among the sweet peas which showed up best in the prize-winning collections at the Boston exhibition July 12 and 13 were the following: Barbara;ra magnificent salmon orange, will be widely grown another season; Thomas Stevenson, a beautiful orange scarlet, easily the best of its shade; Mrs.- Harry Bell, pale salmon apricot, a glorious flower, with an attractive color; Edrom Beauty, similar to Helen Lewis in color, but a far better flower; Doris Usher, pink on a cream ground, quite pleasing; Dazzler, rich orange scarlet, one of the best; Scarlet Em- peror, the finest of the scarlets, fine in many collections; Decorator, one of Burpee's 1913 set, described well as a Rose du Barri Spencer; Orchid, from the same introducers, is of a pleasing heliotrope shade; their new Illuminator, salmon rose, is worth watching and their King White, pronounced by Mr. Kerr away ahead of all existing whites, should create a stir next season. Florence Nightingale was the leading lavender in the show and will take some beating. Asta Ohn Spencer and Master- piece are two other lavenders that are well to the front. Edith Taylor is a wonderful salmon rose, only seen in one collection; it is still scarce, but was the finest novelty in England last sea- son. Hercules is best described as a glorified Countess Spencer and it will soon displace the latter variety. Nora Unwin, White Spencer and Etta Dyke appeared most frequently as whites, while in cream or primrose shades Debbie's Cream was easily in the lead, with Primrose Beauty and Primrose Spencer as the next best of their color. Dobbie's Crimson was the best of the deep reds, although more vases of King Edward Spencer were staged. Senator Spencer is good for those who admire its color^ which combines claret stripes and flakings on a pale lavender ground. Moneymaker is a grand white self, well shown in several collections. Mrs. Hugh Dickson, apricot on cream ground, is still the best of its color, but Mrs. Eout- zahn Spencer, somewhat similar in color, is still one of the best. Mrs. Bread- more, buflf ground edged with rose, is quite pleasing. John Ingman stood out the most prominently among the rosy carmines. Constance Oliver, delicate pink suffused with cream, also showed up well. The old Countess Spencer, introduced in 1904, was well up in the running, but Hercules will displace it. Evelyn Hemus, cream with picotee edging of terra-cotta pink, was good in a number of stands. Marie Corelli, rose carmine, is not yet surpassed in its particular shade. Only a few striped, marbled and mottled flowers appeared and the dark shades had comparatively few entries. I noticed only a couple of grandiflora varieties in the show, Dorothy Eckford and St. George. How are the mighty fallen! For those who like deep shades Othello Spencer is still the best maroon, while Aurora Spencer and America Spencer are good for those looking for striped or flaked varieties. Great advances are still being made in sweet peas and their culture is beino better understood each year. I erfec tion in size and coloring is still fj, from being reached. Hardly a :^weet pea exhibited in Boston had been intro duced ten years, most of them noi half that time, and it is safe to say that a decade hence even such wonderful va rieties as Barbara, Edith Taylor, Mrs, Harry Bell, Elfrida Pearson, Heiculeg Florence Nightingale, Thomas Si even son, Dobbie's Cream, Scarlet Emperor and Illuminator will be no more than pleasant memories. W. N. Ciaig, OUTDOOR SWEET PEAS. There are no summer flowers more popular than sweet peas. It is a popu lar fallacy that they are plants which will only flower for a few brief weeks Everything depends on the treatment they get. If they are in well prepared soil, have been mulched and liberallj watered, they will flower for months, provided, of course, that seed pods are not allowed to form. Too often, hoit ever, with the first heavy crop of flow ers, other duties are pressing and the peas are neglected, with the result that they seed heavily. This speedily crip pies their vitality and shortens the flower stems. There are no flowers more useful to the country florist than sweet peas, and he or she who has a nice row or two will find that there is good money in them. In order to keep the plants blooming, however, a few points should be remembered. Most of the growers already know them, but they will bear repetition: Mulch well, water freely, spray with a soap spray for aphis, pull off all seed pods and fading flowers, and where any vines die, re move them. If these details are ob served, sweet peas will flower well for fully three months. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. Chicago, 111. — John G.

There will be at least one big show in the middle west this fall, at St. Louis. It will be given by the Coli- seum owners as a means of keeping their big building busy, with the co- operation of the St. Louis Florists' Club. Frank M. Robinson, manager for the Coliseum Co., had this to say July 16: "The preliminary premium list of the Mid-Continental Flower Show, to be given under the management of the directors of the St. Louis Coliseum Co., in the Coliseum, the week commencing November 10, 1913, was sent to the printers today. The same carries 108 classes and premiums in cash amounting to $6,000. The final premium list will be mailed out October 1, and the man- agement plans to make the St. Louis .ihow one of the most successful ever held in the west. "We anticipate making this show on© of the prominent social events of St. Louis. The management is indebted to John Young, secretary of the S. A. F., Chas. H, Totty, president of the Amer- ican Chrysanthemum Society, and to various members of the St. Louis Flo- rists' Club, who have made valuable suggestions in preparing the preliminary list. An elaborate scheme of decora- tion for the building is being worked out, which is probably better adapted to 'he holding of flower shows than any other like building in the country," CHANGES IN PAKCEL POST. _lhe Postoffice Department has an- iwcoil a series of changes in the oper- no^ *^'* ^^^ parcel post system, includ- limf" '°*'^®*8e in the maximum weight J*"t on packages, a reduction in the sppn*.j"* postage within the first and ,.„„ "'' /ones, and the substitution of a post'"""""* '**® ^^^^ ^or the parcel p ''^''P in determining postage rates, postmaster General Burleson sub- miS- '" *^® Interstate Commerce Com- io]]n^ ^od obtained its consent to the tepfir"". ^^hanges. which are to be ef- tI ^^"Sust 15: torv X !^^ ^**°® ^^^^^ include the terri- postarr • *'*® ""* ^one rate of ''^'' Will apply to all parcel post *\ 14 ^^^^^^^^^^^f_^^jH|e '- ^^^^1^^ ' *ii ^Ht L ^^ dP^TJ^^^ J\ lA ^My^ifc:..-.

The second zone shall include the re- mainder of what is now the first zone, together with the present second zone, and shall include all the units of area located in whole or in part within a radius of approximately 150 miles from any given postoflBce. The rate of postage on parcels weigh- ing in excess of four ounces in the pro- posed first zone, that is, for local deliv- ery, will be reduced from 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each addi- tional pound or fraction thereof, to 5 cents for-the first pound and 1 cent for each additional two pounds or fraction thereof. The rate for the new second zone, that is, the territory embraced within a radius of 150 miles from any given post- ofiice, will be reduced from 5 cents for the first pound and 3 cents for each ad- ditional pound (the present first zone rate), or 6 cents for the first pound and 4 cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof (the present second zone rate), to 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound or fraction thereof. The maximum weight of parcel post packages will' be increased from eleven pounds to twenty pounds, the increase of weight to apply only to the first and second zones. No change has been made in the restrictions as to the size and form of the package. Postmaster General Burleson states that the changes decided upon are some- what in the nature of an experiment, and that it is expected that experience gained in their operation will afford a valuable basis upon which to predicate future changes in reducing rates of postage and in increasing the limit of weight. The statistics collected by the department show that at least one-third of the total number of parcels are han- dled within the first and second zones, now to be consolidated into one zone. Under regulations adopted by the postmaster general the use of distinct- ive stamps is no longer mandatory, and the public is now permitted to mail par- cels with ordinary stamps affixed. The insurance fee, which originally was 10 cents, was found to be excessive, and Postmaster General Burleson has re- duced to 5 cents the fee on parcels in- sured to actual value up to $25 and a 10-cent fee is exacted only on parcels insured to actual value of more than $25 and not exceeding $50. Under this arrangement the business of insuring packages has more than doubled, par- ticularly in the sending of valuable mer- chandise. It also is possible to secure special delivery for any parcel by affix- ing 10 cents in stamps and indicating the purpose. The parcel post rates apply to pack- ages of cut flowers, and to almost every- thing a florist receives except seeds and plants. The regulations apply to these also, but the rate on seeds, ])lants and cuttings still is 1 cent for each ounce or fraction of an ounce, regardless of distance.- '^7T"'^^ ^'"*^'' ■'"' - '^ ' fl'PJpi^J**' . !W" i."iiuiu"«i,^i'iini ^v^f", !(»ufB«_".rT»-J ■. ^ ,,11 i«^i!Pi,i|»#i»iiip^(||i„BWJ(p)™^Wir 12 The Florists' Review July 24, 19 1 a. PEOBABLY DEY AT THE EOOT. We have several benches of Kaiserin and La France roses which we are grow- ing for the third season; these have never grown well. We also have a bed of Maryland roses from spring stock, which are in excellent condition. The Kaiserin and La France were planted in heavy black clay by another grower, at a depth of fully two inches below the ball. They usually have some red spider. They have been kept mulched all the season with well rotted cow manure and have beeQ well syringed with water. They l>ore one crop in early spring, with good stems; since then the flowers have all been short-stemmed. There is some yel- low foliage on them, though they have good drainage and continuous ventila- tion. It seems as though we cannot en- courage them to make base canes or to break freely and produce stems and blooms. Would wood ashes benefit them ? Thus far they have had no wood ashes, but have had several light dust- ings of lime. F. W. R. Both Kaiserin and La France are strong growers and gross feeders in summer. That they bore a good crop of flowers with long stems in the spring, and since then have thrown up only short stems and yellow foliage, is a sure sign that the plants were allowed to get dry at the root. The mulch of cow manure has probably deceived you and caused you to allow. the clay underneath to get dry. Your plants do not need lime or wood ashes nearly so much as they need a good supply of water, to dissolve the manure and wash it down to the roots of the plants, for no plant can absorb food unless it is dissolved, and the only way to dissolve it is to use water. To grow Kaiserin and La France prof- itably, they should have a good mulch- ing of manure every two or three weeks during the growing season, with large quantities of water. The water should be allowed to run through the benches, so as to wash out any impurities in the soil; then you will not need to use lime to sweeten the soil, as the water will do this more effectively. In short, the secret of growing good summer roses is water, and plenty of it. W. J. K. BLACK SPOT. Enclosed you will find some specimens of my rose leaves, which are drying up, getting yellow and falling oflF. First the leaves become black-spotted; then they turn yellow and fall oflF. When I j-J.->jVltu«' took charge of the house I found the stock in the condition I have described. Please state the cause and the best remedy. P. N. The leaves enclosed bore the evi- dences of a bad case of black spot, which is usually caused by lack of ven- tilation and by too much moisture over- head. The best remedy is plenty of ven- tilation day and night, especially at night. At this time of year keep the plants in good growing condition by giving them plenty of feed and water, of which they need good quantities dur- ing the summer, especially if they are large plants, but keep the water off the foliage as much as possible. If the plants are free from spider and are kept wet at the root, it will be well to omit the syringing for three or four weeks; by that time the black spot should have disappeared. If that treatment do^, not help them, try Bordeaux mixture spraying the diseased foliage, hut in most cases the trouble will be ovorionie without the Bordeaux, by adopting th( niethofl I have indicated.

I do not know of any way of forcing outdoor chrysanthemums into flower Even if lifted, potted and placed undei glass, they would not be forwarded m. Any attempt at forcing them in a higk temperature would only spell ruination for the plants. C. W. 3C= ac 3C i j ^ i SEASONABLE ^ i ^ SUGGESTIONS 2a> 3C 3C 3C Cinerarias and Calceolarias. It is time to sow seeds of the showy greenhouse annuals, cinerarias and cal- ceolarias, where good-sized plants are wanted. Of course, fairly good ones may be had if the seed 'is sown even as late as the end of August, but if you want cinerarias to flower for Christmas and through January, and if you want herbaceous calceolarias of a size to make them the envy of your neighbors, sow the seeds now in well drained pans or flats of light compost, containing a good sprinkling of sand. "Cover the seeds lightly, if at all, and stand the pans or flats either in a greenhouse with a northern exposure, or in a cold- frame where as cool conditions as pos- sible prevail. Cover each pan or flat with a square of glass after watering, and in addition lay a sheet of paper over them in order to keep the soil moist as long as possible without wa- tering. The seedlings will appear within a few days, when light must gradually be given them. Growth is slow in July and August and careless watering may cause the whole lot to damp off. Give them a cool, airy frame or house and look out for the caterpillars which will a little later come along and, if not caught, will soon devour every plant. Both calceolarias and cinerarias barely exist during the two hottest months of the year. With the cooler nights of September and October they take added vigor. Mignonette, Early in August is a suitable tin' to make a first sowing of mignonetf under glass. There is no advantat' sowing earlier, as the plants give ers of mediocre quality and come i" ' time when outdoor flowers arc sttf abundant and good. Mignonette nee* a cool house; one piped to maintain' winter minimum of 40 to 42 degrees* desirable. Either beds or raised bencWf can be utilized. If the latter are "■ be sure no heating pipes run ^*''' them. Mignonette loves to have roots cool and moist.

Thin the ph'^t? i to two or three to each patch. , them run up to flower, then pinch d ^ well to make the plants brancli. \^ not until steady cold weather ar^i that mignonette reaches its gr«* j perfection. Watch sharply for the ^ bage worms, which have a spc*'** j^^ ing for this plant. Remember »^° ',n fumigation for mignonette must a* J be light, or the foliage will be pcorjjjp Be sure to buy the best seed pro*" for indoor culture. T«a.v 24, 191 3- The Florists^ Review 18 NABCISSI IN TENNESSEE. Some Tests and Their Bestilts. For Home years we have been experi- menting with different members of the narcissus family. We have tested a large number of the more standard va- rieties and last year we tested about 100 of the newer varieties, many of which are just beginning to be offered by tho more progressive growers abroad. . In these tests a few facts were well impressed on our minds, and some of them were not exactly pleasant. The first thing to mention is the utter unre- liability of most of the growers on "the other side" in the matter of sup- plying varieties true to name. They seem to feel that they are for sale any- way and that Americans will never know whether they get the true or a false variety. But by persistent effort and by purchasing the same variety from several sources, we have been able to become acquainted with most of the varieties we have ordered and can tell them readily. Most of these, we bp- lieve, can be grown in this couutry as well as in the old world, if not better. All varieties are not hardy in the ex- treme north, but an almost endless array of them are hardy, and the best part of the matter is that the cheaper varie- ties are usually fully as good as the newer and higher priced sorts. It is our purpose to mention merely a few that we believe the trade should become bet- ter acquainted with, as they are a real improvement over some of the older variotios. Phoenix and Poeticus. Sulphur and Orange Phoenix are not so well known as they should be. They lorce as well as Von Sion and. we find fnat they sell better. Outdoors they are the most satisfactory of the entire family, except poeticus, seldom giving 'ess than 18-inch stems and increasing fapidiy. Apricot Phoenix is a new one; '\ '** ;• sort of semi-double, with a dis- "nct appearance that commands atten- "on at once. We do not think it will ^ver 1,,; BO popular as either of the other "^Piiixes, but as soon as the price is ^'Rl't all will find it a seller. We have not found any other doubles, of which fn^'t^^^^ to be a number of candidates f ^=tvor, that have distinct enough eatiues to make them worthy of a ' "J^'- with any but the collector. tie ")' *^^*'^ °^ *^** °®^ poeticus varie- lia^ r^'^ ^^^° * disappointment, as we Kd V i""^ only one of real value, King in ^ -l ^^* it is a real. improvement afto fi, *^® *"*^ length of stem, and •"on u- ^^® seasons of test under trying ami ' °^ it remains without disease sor; ^ ^ ^°'^® bloomer. Like some other ' ' *t ^oes not always reach us true The New Whites. Emperor is easily distanced in every way by Glory of Leiden. Empress is still the best bicolor of the large trum- pets lor outdoor work. The William Goldring, however, has a better color and is fully as large, with shorter stems. We have tried out about fifty of the new whites, but are not ready to say that any of them are a real success. Mme. De Graaff would be fine were it white, but it is not. Cernuus pulcher is a more refined flower than De Graaff and a little nearer white. Tortuosus is a true white and a good one, but too small. Serratus is a fine white, as large as Golden Spur. It is a close second to Snowflake, which we consider the best white we have ever seen.

WK SHAIX BE GLAD TO HKAR FROM TOU nesses are its shortness of stem and its resemblance to albicans in shape. In Sir Watkin florists have a variety that is a winner in every way and in this country it has not proved of weak constitution, as is sometimes reported from abroad. Outdoors among the grass, with no care for three years, it averaged over four inches in diameter, on longer stems than Emperor. Of course, it is of a different type, but it is a seller. Barrii and Foetaz Varieties. The Barrii family is a good one for florists, as the members of this family are hardy anywhere and will stand as much neglect as the poeticus. B. con- spicuus and B. Falstaff are the two best known. They are about alike, so one does not need both. They are striking, with the two shades of yellow in the short trumpet. Torchlight is a great improvement, as the two colors are much more striking and the band really approaches red. Siddington would be better still, were it not for its short stems. Vivid is a misnomer, as it is not vivid at all. Grand Duchess is a dis- tinct variety, with a white trumpet about an inch long, and the perianth is a distinct star; it is a good variety. But the Poetaz varieties are the real acquisitions in the narcissus family. They are grand for cutting, blooming as many as a dozen in a cluster, and the stems are often two feet long. The flower is as large as poeticus. They seem absolutely hardy, and the cheapeV varieties are far the best. We have only eight varieties that we have tested. Thus far we like Irene and Elvira the best of the family, and believe they are the ones that are worth growing for cut flowers. The True Jonquils. Among the true jonquils there is just one that is of real value, and of it we sold more last season than of any other narcissus, and will likely do so again this season. This is the true Camper- nelle rugulosus. It is a fine forcer and equally good in the open ground, where it takes care of itself. The flowers are pure gold and as large as a silver dollar, in clusters of five to fifteen. The fra- grance is the most attractive feature, though it would be a winner if it were odorless. We are partial to the Leedsii type for outdoor cutting. The stems are extra long on most varieties and they are good sellers. We have not tested them in the extreme north, but they should be as hardy as the poeticus. We know none in this family that are not good, though two or three varieties are all that a grower needs, as they are nearly alike. Amabilis, Duchess of Brabant, Minnie Hume and Mrs. Langtry are as good as any, at reasonable prices. Aside from Sir Watkin. we do not think there are any of the incomparab- ilis type that are for florists' use, except Lucifer, which is too high priced as yet. and Stella. The latter is a good seller where a cheap flower that has grace is desired. None of the bulbocodiums are of value to the florist, though they are sweet flowers when well grown. They are too small and they lack stems. Floyd Bralliar. Beaver Dam, Wis.— A. G. Boomer, who bought the business of Jos. Wag- ner about a year ago, is erecting three large greenhouses on Park avenue. For downtown display rooms and store, he has rented- the quarters at 104 North Spring street, which he is furnishing' with a full equipment of up-to date I fixtures. ^7* ^ — ,i-?:'-'~TP- v'^-- ■^f W^i^, '*■•• >••'■: v:-i? U The Florists' Review JCLX 24, 191- CAENATIONS FOE EUROPE. The publication of some recent notes by W. Wells, concerning the packing of stock of new varieties of carnations to be sent to Europe, has resulted in some interesting correspondence. It appears that Mr. Wells bought a certain variety from Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., and, on arrival of the stock in Eng- land, commented that the packing was "not top notch." It happened that Mr. Fisher personally had packed the shipment. This is what he says of the methods of packing for long shipment: "I think it is only just towards the packer to state that the plants in ques- tion were lifted from the benches in which they were growing, and packed Just exactly as Mr. Wells directed, and that against the judgment of the pack- er, who is also the writer of this article, stating incidentally that my method in l)acking foreign shipments was to pack in sphagnum moss containing a faint trace of moisture. Mr. Wells replied that it was necessary to soak the moss in water, wring it by hand and apply to the roots; the plants were also headed back as instructed. It was the excess of moisture that caused all the trou- ble." Mr. Fisher says that at the same time he shipped stock of Gorgeous to Eng- land packed in sphagnum containing only a trace of moisture and the ship- ments arrived in excellent shape. TIME TO BENCH. I should like to know if I can soon bench my carnations t I have nothing in bloom and want to bench as soon as I can for good results. B. A. A. There is no reason why you should not bench your carnation plants right away if you have good, strong, well branched stock in the field. It is not the date that governs benching, but the condition of the stock to be trans- planted from field to house. A few years ago benching generally was left until the latter part of August or the first part of September, but gradually the larger growers have come to plant as soon as they have developed in the field good, strong, well branched plants. In a year when conditions have been favorable to growth in the field, hous- ing begins right after the Fourth of •luly holiday. Planting is now being vigorously prosecuted by most of the large growers and will be completed by the middle of August. HOUSING ANTIEEHINUMS. When should antirrhinums be put in the greenhouse, and what kinds of antir- rhinums are best? Mrs. J. A. W. The earliest lot of antirrhinums, which should flower well for Christmas, can be housed any time after the middle of August. Some fine special strains are now oflfered. New England Pink has great popularity. It is the best, selling color on the list. Giant White and Giant Yellow are other good varieties. The dark shades do not take well. C. W. PLANTING FEEESIAS. Jn growing freesias, should I place the 6-inch pots with the bulbs in a dark place, such as a cellar, until they head, or in a shady place at the north side of the house, or in the sun? I have heard so many different opinions about the planting of freesias that I concluded to Rudolph Lestak, the Flying Florist. ask for your advice, which I have found always good. P. C. M. The pots or pans should be placed either in a cellar, or in a coldframe where they can be covered with board shutters until they are started, after which full light can be given them. Some growers give the pots a covering of moss, removing it when growth starts, but you will not go far wrong if you will simply give them a covering of boards to prevent the sun from dry- ing out the soil too rapidly. C. W. INSECTS ON GERANIUMS. I am enclosing some geraniums and also some specimens of insects which have done considerable damage to them. Any information as to how to get rid of this pest would be greatly appreciated. J. C. L. I did not find any leaves or insects in your letter, but should judge that the damage referred to was probably caused by a small hairy caterpillar, which is at times destructive and almost skel etonizes entire plants. Where only j few pests appear, the best meth jd of extermination is to squeeze then be tween the fingers. When they aii> too numerous for this, poisoning should be resorted to. Spray with arsenate of lead, one pound to twelve and on .-half gallons of water. This will whiten the foliage somewhat, however, and ii this will be objectionable try white helle bore, one pound to five gallons, or Paris green, one ounce to twelve and one half gallons. Add a little lime to the Paris green and there will be little dan ger of burning. Do not spray when the sun is hot; a cloudy day or toward ey«ning on a clear day is a suitable time. Try to get the spray below the foliage, as this is where most of the pests will be found. . C. W. AVIATION. Quite a few florists are known as high fliers, and there are others who go up in the air at the slightest provocation, but so far as is known Budolph Lestak is the first working florist to procure an aviator's license. Mr. Lestak removed from the east to Chicago and entered the employ of H. N. Bruns, where he was a grower of lily of the valley Later he took a position on a private estate at Lake Geneva, but for the last year he has been employed at Klimmer'v Greenhouses, at Forest Park, now under the management of Frank J. Klimmer. Mr. Lestak obtained his aviator's li cense last week and the accompanying illustration was prepared from a photo graph taken as he was landing after hU first flight. AN ENGLISH ROSE SHOW. The annual summer show of the Eng lish National Rose Society was held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, London, July 4. There was a wonderful dis play of top-quality blooms, and new varieties were exhibited in large num bers, Hugh Dickson, Belfast, probabb eclipsing everything in this line by staging twenty-six novelties and an nexing several gold and silver gilt medals. His gold medal varieties wert Brilliant and Mrs. J. Lynas, thf former a grand decorative scarlet crim son flower, and the latter a pretty soft shade of pink. The varieties that won the silver gilt medals were Muriel Dickson, hybrid briar, bright cherry red; Ulster Gem, single, pure yrllo*. quite striking; Mrs. Hugh Dickson, » large white bloom, shading to yi Ho*' Mrs. J. W, Parker, a full flower, ')lu9h white, and William Cooper, a 'iirg*^ bright crimson. Cards of commend ;itioi were received for Duchess of Abeicoru. Mrs. Godfrey' Brown and Mrs. W. Sai gent. Among the others from tho Bel fast grower were some promising -^orts which looked like winners at f 't'*'^ dates. Alexander Dickson & Sons, ^^^" Newtownards, Ireland, received a golf' medal for Queen Mary, a rose of van_ ous tints, after the style of Juliet and silver gilt medals for Conway JoiiCS) » superb cerise crimson, and Red Lette' Day, rich crimson. Cards of comm 'nd*' tion were awarded for Mary Greer, ^ superb lemon white, and Mrs. MoyD*' blush white. Mrs. Ambrose Ricardo, cream, flusb*'^ yellow, from S. McGredy & Son.

A BASKET FROM NEW YOEK. The accompanying illustration shows s specimen of the work of Max Schling, the New York retailer. The arrange- ment of the roses in the basket is most artistic and the effect is, through its simplicity rather than its elaborateness, striking as well as beautiful. Basket work of this kind is bound to make a hit with the customers of high-class florists. INDIANA FLORISTS. Consolidation of Two Societies. The State Florists' Association of Indiana held its midsummer meeting at Winona Lake, July 16. Being one of the committee in charge of the consoli- 'lation of the Northern Indiana Flo- fists' Association with the older state association, the writer journeyed to In- 'liana's leading summer resort the day I'efore the meeting, for the purpose of 'ompleting the details of the merger, which was to be consummated at the joint meeting of the two societies. Up- «n arrival at the thriving little city of ♦♦arsaw, where our friend Dederick holds out, we were met at the station by ^*\i;»vial gentleman and directed to 'he Winona assembly grounds. Here we round one of the finest places for hold- '"g a convention or picnic that it has ever been our pleasure to see.

W. Coles in ih» «k&ir. The committee's report was received and concurred in, and the committee was discharged with thanks. A letter was read from E. T. Barnes, asking the association to visit his place early in October to view the dahlias. Thia change was agreed to and the trip will be made in October instead of Sep- tember, as had been at first arranged. A resolution was introduced, proposing that a petition be sent to the S. A. F. asking that body to adopt some scheme whereby anyone who joins a local or- ganization may thereby also become a member of the national society. This resolution was made the special order of business of the August meeting. By this time it was train time for many of the members and the meeting was brought to a close, everyone feeling that the day marked a big step forward in the affairs of the association. The writer wishes to express his personal appreciation of the courtesies shown and the fair-mindedness of the northern Indiana bunch. A. F. J. Baur, Port Eichmond, N. Y.— Fred G.

The new firm will be known as the Keck-Wolf Floral Co. and will move the greenhouses from their present site on West Washington street to Mr. Wolf's tract of two and, a half acres southeast of town. Dayton, O. — Warren G. Matthews, proprietor of the Dayton Floral Co., has completed negotiations with the King Construction Co. for the construction of his new greenhouses, comprising 25,000 feet of glass, to replace the plant which was destroyed by the fiood this spring. He expects to have the work completed in time to take care of the fall business. Nashville, Tenn. — The firm of Mc- Intyre Bros, has been incorporated as the Mclntyre Floral Co., capitalized at $37,000. The incorporators are Dan Mclntyre, Thomas Mclntyre, Nellie Mclntyre and William Mclntyre. In the last year Mclntyre Bros, added to their real estate and buildings to the amount of about $25,000, and the com- pany now plans to begin the erection of greenhouses next March which will double the present capacity of the plant and cost $25,000. Muncie, Ind. — Some important changes have been made among florists of the city as a result of the appoint- ment of a receiver for the Muncie Flo- ral Co. The flower store formerly owned by the Muncie Floral Co., located at the corner of Main and Walnut streets, is now known as Miller's Flower Shop, and has been taken over by Mrs. A. P. Andrew, formerly Mrs. George F. Mil- ler. She has secured the services of Miss Lauretta Miller, of Buffalo, N.

Better push along the carnation plant- ing, so as to be ready for the S. A. F. convention. The scarcity of sphagnum moss is at an end, at least for a time. The market is unsettled. Note the way the advertisements of field-grown carnation plants are increas- ing in the Classified section of The Re- view. Did you ever stop to think of the many evidences that the slow-pay customer, whose long overdue account is worrying you, also owes your competitors f Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dc^ar-bin that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. This year in greater degree than usual one can combine business and pleasure by attending the S. A. F. convention. There will be many new faces among those in attendance and Minneapolis is almost a summer resort. The premium list for the Illinois State Fair, Springfield, has been issued. The classes for florists are to be Htaged Octo- ber 6 to 9 and include 117 classes, with adequate premiums. J. E. Taggart, Free- port, 111., is superintendent of floriculture this year. A PRELIMINARY Schedule for the plant classes of the International Flower Show to be held at New York March 21 to 28, 1914, has been issued. Those wishing copies can get them by addressing John Young, secretary, 54 West Twenty-eighth street, New York. DUTY ON OBEENHOUSE GLASS. The pending tariff bill, which seems almost certain to become the law, re- duces the duty on the greenhouse sizes of window glass from 1% cents per pound to 1 cent per pound. Double- strength 16 X 18 and 16 x 24 is imported on the basis of eighty pounds to the box of fifty square feet, so that the present duty is $1.50 per box and the new rate will be 80 cents per box, a reduction of 70 cents. There are at present no large quanti- ties of greenhouse sizes in stock, either in this country or in Belgium, where conditions have bee» such that produc- tion has been curtailed i, for many montl^ The present dispo^Ltiotii of^.tjhe factories, therefore, is to hold prices tQ ^e level that has existed throughout tlie early spipmsr, but there is a feel- ing on the part of jobbers that some important changes are impending. It is thought that business conditions may not be such as fo consume all the foreign glass that will be manufactured in the next year and that it can be mar- keted in this country at an excel- lent profit at present prices after paying a duty of only 80 cents per box. It jj asserted by those who have made a life. long study of the glass trade that the cost of production in the United States is more than the freight and 80 cents per box greater than the cost in Bel- gium. No wage agreement has thus fat been made for the autumn fire in this country, and none will be until the tar iff law has been signed. The manufac- turers feel that with nearly half their protection removed the wages will have to come down to more nearly the Euro- pean scale. On the whole it looks as though greenhouse glass may sell somewhat cheaper than it has, at least for a time after the new tariff law goes into effect. AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. Additional Prize. The following prize offer was received too late to be printed in the schedule of the Minneapolis exhibition: By Jacob Thomann & Sons, Rochester, N. Y., first prize of $10 for twenty-five spikes of the best white gladioli; second prize, $5; open class. No. 19. L. Merton Gage, Cor. Sec 'y. A SLEEPLESS FLORIST. This florist has been kept awake nights by his business, but he got the business by keeping awake in the day time. It is as clear as day that the way to sell the most stock is to offer it to as many people as you can who buy your kind of stock. That is what it means to advertise in The Review. Have you seen daylight yetf Please take those fern and mum ads out of your most valuable paper. They don't let me sleep nights. Too much work. — B. B. Fohl- mann, Rockford, 111., July 15, 1918. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There are those who say that not in years has the Chicago market been so bare of stock as it was at the opening of the present week. There always comes a time in summer when receipts are light. Possibly the supply is as great as it was at its lowest ebb last season, but certainly the supply is not now so large as it was at this date last year. Carnations are almost out of the market and asters, because of the long spell of dry weather, are not coming in as early as usual. Indeed, the receipts of asters have not yot ht conie large enough to cut any figure i" this market. Local wholesalers, in t*"* hope of augmenting their supply, have been telegraphing eastern ma kets, where asters have been reported ilenti- ful, but the replies received early this week have not been such as to affor'' the prospect of a profitable speculiitio"- Neither are gladioli coming in so ato"' dantly as was the case at this dato last year. There are increased shipments) .put the generaV-* shortage of Jp»ck r^ suits in the gladioli cleaning up prompt' ly, and more could be sold if good. Cool weather has resulted in a ^^ duction in rose crops. Beauties esp«' cially. The oversupply which has cn>\ acterized the situation for some wee* is now a thing of the past. There a^^ Beauties to be had, but not always F the grade the buyer wants. Prices i»> ■- ■ !^J,.' jLLY 24, 1913. The Florists' Review X9 NO NEED TO DO WITHOUT FIRST-CLASS ORGHIDS YOU CAN GET FINE CATTLEYAS HERE |OOD ORCHIDS are not abundant in this market just now — mostly shipped in from the east — but WB have a gfood crop locally grown that we recommend you to try. These are not only well grown but they are fresh cut and reach you in condition to give the best of satisfaction. If you have been disappointed elsewhere it's all the more reason for ordering of Amling next time. GLADIOLI Year after year we lead the market on Gladioli— the largest supply of high grade stock. This is stock that it is a pleasure to handle. Plenty of America, Augusta and Mrs. F. King, the three best in their colors. Asters are just starting to come in. We have a fair supply, and it soon wiU be large. LET YOUR ORDERS CONE. BEAUTIES Cuts are not quite so heavy this week but we still cut thousands each day. The quality is right up to the top notch, as it always is with our stock. We are especially anxious to hear from the buyers who need daily shipments, no matter how large or how small. If you can use a dozen Beauties per day, or a hundred Beauties per day, or any other quantity, we want you with us this summer. FANCY ROSES Good roses have become so scarce that medium and long stems carrying quality flowers sell on sight, but we aim never to be without some good roses in the ice-box to go out on late shipping orders. Let us know your needs as early in the day as possible, but call on us at short notice if you must. You will find us rose headquarters, now and all summer. FANCY VALLEY You can depend upon us at all times for valley. If you run short, a wire to Amling will bring the valley you need. Cnrrent Price list ORCHIDS Oattleyas .

The Cook County Florists' Associa- tion held its monthly meeting at the Tavern July 17, with an attendance of about twenty members. Vice-president Allie Zech occupied the chair, because of the absence of President Eohlbrand on vacation. It was the first time Vice- president Zech had been called on to preside, but he acquitted himself with much credit. An address on greenhouse insurance was given by Florian D. Wal- lace, listened to with so much interest that several growers present indicated their intention of covering themselves on all classes of insurance. It was de- cided to hold the next meeting August 14, as the regular night falls in conven- tion week. Erne & Klingel, who have been fiU' ing more or less supply orders foi" sev- eral months, plan to put in a stO' k of staple articles.

NEW ORLEANS, LA. Club Meeting. The New Orleans Horticultural So- ^■'•■ty held its twenty-eighth annual "' ■ ting at the Association of Commerce '"V'''ing, July 17. H. C. Doescher pre- S' -'<], Paul Abele acted as secretary in t'' absence of C. R. Panter, and an un- " lally large number of enthusiastic '" inbers were present. ''• A. Chopin, who presided over the society during 1905-06, was elected as the new president. Dan Newsham, one of the younger, rising local florists, was chosen vice-president. John Eblen, a charter member and the society's first treasurer, was reelected to that position by a rising vote. C. R. Panter, who has also served the society efficiently for many years, as its secretary, was re- elected. There being no opposition, all officers were chosen by acclamation. The secretary's report showed that the society is in excellent financial condition. The books showed a balance on hand of $800 in bonds, stocks and cash. The membership has passed the fifty mark. E. F. Farley was elected a member. The applications of Charles Farley and A. Verlander were received and laid over until the next meeting. The business being over, all present betook themselves to the banquet hall of the Association of Commerce, where an elegant cold supper was spread. The president, P. A. Chopin, in his address to the society, urged the members to help him carry out his plan for a spring flower show on as great a scale as ever achieved here. He is confident that, by a united effort, the people visiting the show can be convinced that New Or- leans can produce as elegant plants and flowers as any other locality in the Union. He called upon the following to express their views: E. Baker, who made some remarks on the continuation of the lectures, etc.; H. Papworth, who spoke of progressiveness, as shown by having in stock the latest novelties in plants and other things pertaining to a flower store; Paul Abele, on a greater trade show; C. Eble, who predicted suc- cess for the show on account of the large number of big firms here now; F. Reyes, on educating the people to appre- ciate florists' wares; R.

Henry Scheuermann, for many years manager of the store of the Metairie Bidge Nursery Co., has resigned his position and is now connected, tempo- rarily, with F. J. Eeyes & Co. J. A. Newsham has returned from a two months' trip to England, Belgium and France. At London he attended a meeting of the Royal Horticultural So- ciety, which was of a highly instructive order. At Covent Garden he admired the quick and up-to-date handling of all kinds of plants and cut flow^ers. He stated that the stock is shipped in open trays, without any packing, by all the railroads over the entire country, with hardly any damage. Being an orchid specialist himself, Mr. Newsham paid a visit to some of the foremost growers of this plant. He observed with keen in- terest the large number of orchid seed- lings raised by the specialists, but found them, with a few exceptions, not equal to the original species. At Ghent, Bel- gium, he visited the specialists in aza- leas, araucarias, kentias and Laurus no- bilis, the principal plants grown for southern exportation. At Paris he ad- mired the exceptionally artistic window displays in the flower stores. On the return trip Mr. Newsham visited Henry A. Dreer's place, in Philadelphia, and found that this establishment displayed more system, cleanliness and general good management than most of the places he had visited in Europe. He spoke most highly of the hospitality shown him during his entire trip. This was his first visit to the old country in twenty-five years. R. E. OMAHA.

NEW YORK. The Market. Business during the last week has been dead. It is the inevitable July slump that comes every year, but this season makes the record for inactivity, low prices and general demoralization. There is little good stock of anything but lilies reaching the market. There seems to be no end of these. One wholesaler reports promises of a quarter million from two of his growers, to arrive during the next few weeks. Sales on Saturday were over 13,000 and the ice-box still was full to the brim. This is not an isolated case; the same report of oversupply comes from every wholesale house handling lilies in quan- tity. Koses show the effect of the heat and not many of any variety are in good selling condition. Few of the American Beauties arriving are salable. An occa- sional dozen, carefully selected, may bring 20 cents each, but from 10 cents down to the discard covers the quota- tions of ninety-five per cent of all ar- rivals. The same average applies to all varieties of roses, except Mrs. Shawyer. Small shipments of this comparative novelty bring fair returns. The supply of the other novelties is still limited, with the exception of Double White Killarney. Of the ordinary varieties there is no reasonable quotation pos- sible. The few good carnations nOw arriv- ing can be bought for $1 per hundred. As for the rest, what grower can afford to produce them at 25 cents per hun- dred ? No wonder the department stores can advertise them at the demoralizing price of 5 c^nts a dozen, which is also the quotation for roses. There is now No. see Colonial MADISON B/ISKETCRAFT CO.

Charles Carlin, of Thorley's, is, as usual, devoting July and August to re- cuperation. It would be a lonesome street without Mr. Carlin. It is hard to remember the years he has been a part of it. Ralph Armstrong's branch at New- port is progressing. July 26 and August 1 he will have two big decorations for Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. The season promises to be one of the best in years. A. T. Bunyard and Wadley & Smythe are also busy with decorations. Frank Dugan's shingle is out at 42 West Twenty-eighth street as seeds- man. Mr. Dugan had many years of experience at Bridgeman's, and his friends wish him success in his venture. Vaclare T. Niemetz, horticultural specialist, of Charkow, Russia, is in the city, a guest of M.

Patrick McGovern, of Nineteenth street and Ninth avenue, Brooklyn, one of the pioneer florists of that city, died on Friday, July 18. He was buried July 4, a large number of the trade at- tending tha funeral. There were many beautiful floral offerings. His son will continue the business. B ']B^ -Sutton, of Flushing, L.

Use a light, sandy compost at first; later it can be heavier and it should be made moderately rich for the final potting. Extreme care in watering is always necessary with poinsettias, particularly after the end of September. If they are too dry or too wet a large part of ti^e foliage will turn yellow, and bare-stemmed plants are hard to sell at any price. C. W. HABDY VIENNA CAKNATIONS. We have planted, in the open ground, about 1,000 hardy Vienna carnations, and are anxious to know what results they will give in this country. We also wish to know what protection would be required in winter, in this Nebraska climate. We have planted a few hundreds of these plants in 4-inch pots, and intend to winter them over either in a coldframe or in a cool green- house. By taking them up and bring- ing them into the greenhouse, could we get a crop for Memorial dayT M. J. H. I have not grown any of the hardy Vienna carnations, either outdoors or in pots, but some growers speak well of them. Perhaps some other Eeview read- ers can give their experience with them. C. W.

We have tlie best facilities in the city BOSTON. The Market. Business continues extremely quiet, with hardly a ripple to disturb it. On Saturday, July 19, there was, however, an extra good clean-up, carnations being in particular demand. Among roses, some nice Milady are arriving. Christie Miller is also proving a fine summer sort. Beauties are of good quality for midsummer. Tafts continue popular. The demand is now largely for short and medium stock for funeral work, at 50 cents to $2 per hundred. Carnations are fewer in number and quite small; $1 per hundred is now top-notch price. Sweet peas are mostly short-stemmed and many are cut with the haulm. As- ters are appearing in small numbers, mostly Queen of the Market, and make $1 to $2 per hundred. Gladioli are in oversupply; so are lilies and valley. For such flowers as candytuft, bachelor's buttons, sweet sultan, etc., the call is light. Gypso- phila, to a large extent, continues to take the place of asparagus. Some nice summer gardenias are seen, and there is still a good supply of C. gigas and other summer cattleyas. The demand for adiantum and asparagus is compara- tively light. Various Notes. The picnic of the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club at Cunningham park, East Milton, July 23, comes a little too late to be reported in this issue of The Re- view. The committee in charge has every detail perfected and fine weather only is needed to make it a grand suc- cess. There are no less than twenty- four events on the sporting list, com- CLEfELANB J. N.

The unusually good summer demand seems to be holding up nicely. The supply has increased materially, but the demand has been so good that it easily takes up all good offerings. The supply of gladioli has increased most of all. The fine large ones can be had in quan- tities and there is a whole lot of stock coming in that is so poor that one can hardly hope to find sales for it. The rose supply, too, has shown a substantial increase. Good roses are arriving in practically all varieties. The stems are better and blooms are larger. The only trouble is that some of the receipts are so full-blown that it is impossible to use them. All that have been arriving in proper shape are selling. The supply of Easter lilies is short. During the last week nearly all of the local growers have been between crops. Auratum lilies are offered in fair quantities and have been meeting with a good market. The cut of rubrum lilies is rather lim- ited. Pond lilies find only an ordinary sale. Regular receipts of choice valley in limited quantities have been selling well. Various Notes.

Seed Trade News. AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. President, C. C. Massle, MinneapolU ; Secre- tary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, 0. There was frost in Montana last week, but it is not thought to have hurt the peas. It is reported that hail ruined quite a few acres of onions for seed in north- eastern Ohio July 9. A. L. George, of the Portland Seed Co., Portland, Ore., has been making a trip through Montana. S. F. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is planning a trip to Mon- tana and Idaho for a look at the peas. The death of J. M. Gleason, of the T. J. Grey Co., Boston, one of the vet- erans of the trade, is recorded in the obituary columns this week. According to an English advice of July 9, dry weather has affected the podding of peas, such varieties as Gra- dus, that should contain five to seven peas to the pod, being generally two short. E. M. Greig, Anaconda, Mont., reports /^ killing frost July 14 and wants to know if it was the last or the first frost of which season. It is the first time that nasturtiums have been nipped there in July. An item in this column last week in- dicates that a mail-order seed house in the middle west last season received approxi- mately 60,000 orders from the distribu- tion of not far from 200,000 catalogues. Was it enough? , High heat has held hold on the seed section surrounding Sacramento. July 17 the temperature rose to 96 degrees and stood there at 8 p. m., while July 18 it reached 98 degrees and had fallen only to 92 degrees at 8 p. m. The three follow- ing days the maximum was 86 degrees. "In regard to conditions in this part of the country," said E. O. Gardner, manager of the seed department of Joseph Breck & Sons, Boston, July 14, "we are pleased to say that they are most favor- able, especially so in regard to our retail counter trade, which is holding out re- markably well." The peas in Wisconsin and Michigan are spotty. Some sections are much better than others, but even in the best sections some fields are poor. Apparently the dif- ference is the result of the different stages of growth at the time of the heat wave of late June. The earlier the field the better it came through, as a rule. Three weeks ago the general view was that this would be a dealers' year on onion sets in the Chicago district; now the growers begin to feel that perhaps it will turn out to be a growers ' year, al- though it is impossible to tell how much of the stock will make thick necks as a result of the growth following the recent rains. The plans of the Lake Shore Seed Co., Dunkirk, N.

The last legislature passed a law for the regulation of the sale or exposure for sale of agricultural seeds in Min- nesota. It became effective July 1 and provides for the labeling of agricul- tural seeds in such a way as to indicate the germinating power, the locality in which they were grown and the dan- gerous weed seeds or other impurities present. The execution of this law is largely entrusted to the University Farm Ex- periment Station, where it has been placed in the hands of E. M. Freeman, plant pathologist, and W. L. Oswald, in charge of the seed laboratory. Dr. Free- man and Mr. Oswald have just prepared extension bulletin 39, which states the new law in full, explains its provisions, makes a number of suggestions valuable for seed buyers, and gives directions to those who wish to have free tests made by them at the university farm. The bulletin has just been mailed to over 40,000 farmers and should be in the hands of all who buy or sell agri- cultural seeds in Minnesota. ST. LOUIS. Tbe Southwestern Market. The demand, or the lack of it, at the wholesale markets shows plainly that the cut flower business is down to the summer level. The wholesalers say that the demand last week was largely for flowers for funeral work and this seems to be well distributed over all parts of the city. This kind of work, with a little transient business, is about all the trade can rely upon until the fall season opens. The market has been short on first- class roses for some time, as the hot weather has made a decided difference in the quality of the stock. Short stems prevail on all varieties. Beauties are among the best of the roses. Carna- tions are in large demand, but the qual- ity of the stock is poor and the supply has been short all the week. Enchant- ress carnations seem to be the best. The great bulk of cut stock now con- sists of gladioli and a glut is looked for in these at the end of the week, as all the local growers are sending in big cuts daily. America, King and Augusta are fine in quality and the price of these holds up pretty well, but all other varieties are down in value; the price, July 21. of the three varieties named was $6»^MhhiMMiM^ while others aeld •#■ l^m- are ister lilies are the other flowers that 'make 1 ne rionsis r^eview BEAN8, PEAS, RADISH AND ALL QARDCN SEEDS EANS, PEAS, RADISH . ^ AND ALL QARDEN SEEDS ^ mm ^% ^i ^/ • ^ ^ M H RD ^J^hSI«« I E O l^ /^o w.

Charles Wors had charge of the seed- guessing contest and had his hands full of business all afternoon. St. Louis county had a larger repre- sentation of florists at the picnic than in any previous year. F.

Max Pelletier, who furnished the pic- nic music, says he is going to join the Florists' Club. Mrs. Pelletier runs a neat flower store in., the south end, which makes him an eligible candidate. A committee of twenty-five from the Florists' Club met Tuesday night, July 22, at the Coliseum building, to confer with the management about the prelimi- nary list for the fall flower show. H. C. Irish is chairman of this committee. As the next meeting of the Florists' Club falls on the day of the departure of the convention party, August 14, the officers of the club dieoidecf to hold the meeting on Thursday, August 7, one week ahead of the regular date. No- tices will be sent to all members of the change. - . , Fred Anthon, of Anthon Bros., Clay- ton, will open a retail flower store at .)642 Delmar boulevard, August 15.

R. Routledge, J. J. Butzer and J. R. Forbes, all of Portland. Wenatchee, Wash.— The Milot-Mills Co. is preparing to add a new section, 18x200 feet, to its greenhouses, making a glass area of over 28,000 feet. An additional boiler also "will be installed. Eugene, Ore. — F. B. Chase is building a fifth greenhouse, 48x200 feet, which is so arranged that a team can be driven in at one end, through, and out at the other end. The house will be devoted to vegetables. POMONA, CAL. The Pomona Floral & Nursery Co. has been formed by the partnership of M. K. Zimmer and A. W. Pooley. Mr. Zimmer may be remembered as the junior member of the firm of Zimmer & Son, which was formerly located at Woodbine, la., and sold out January 1, 1909. He purchased the Franco-Amer- ican Nursery plant and store at 283 North Garey avenue, where the store of the present firm is located. Mr. Pooley, at one time at Covina, Cal., was operating a store on West Second street and greenhouses at Genesha Park at the time of the sale. The combination of the two plants gives them 4,000 feet of glass and four acres of land. Plans are being made for additions to the houses and to the nursery stock. Mr. Zimmer is at the store and Mr. Pooley has charge of the growing end of the business. Visitors of the trade are always welcomed and doubtless those who include this city in their California trips will find a stop here worth while. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market. The weather has shown a tremendous change in the last few days. The warm afternoons and nights have given place to delightful coolness. The effect on the stock being brought into town is quite noticeable. Roses and carnations are not plentiful, however, owing to the fact that 80 many growers are shifting stock at present. Business is quiet and the lack of these flowers does not make much diflFerence, as there is more than enough stock to fill requirements. Dah- lias and gladioli are doing their share toward making the windows bright. The prices on them are lower than they were a year ago. Asters are coming into town in fair quantities, but will not be at their best for a couple of weeks yet. They cost the retailers from $1.50 to $3 per hundred. Japanese lilies are not plentiful either, and both colors are held at from $1.50 to $3 per dozen. They are selling well. Owing to the recent hot spell, sweet peas are not as good as those we usually have at this time. The stems on most of them are short, and the flowers are not up to color. It is doubtful if we will have any more really good stock for some time. Ferns and asparagus are in over- supply and, from the large amount of glass that is being planted to the latter this season, there will be no shortage of it again in the near future. Houses that have outlived their usefulness for growing roses and carnations are now being benched with asparagus. Other kinds of outside stock have not quite recovered from the warm weather, but they are daily becoming of better quality. Various Notes. J. H. Wallace, representing D. S. Lake, of Shenandoah, la., is in town in the interests of his house. Arthur Cook, formerly of Seattle, is in town with the intention of locating here permanently. It is rumored that a prominent re- tailer here will have charge of the flower department in the new Kahn de- partment store in Oakland. G. LOS ANQELES, CAL. The Market. Funeral work and a few weddings have been the mainstay of the business during the last week. There has been a lot of the former and it has cleaned up large quantities of stock. There is, in fact, quite a shortage of good indoor flowers, especially roses. This, of course, is partly due to the fact that growers are throwing out and replanting, while as yet there is not much being cut frqm the earliest planted young stock. But the demand is unusually good locally for this season of the year. It is be- coming more and more apparent that Los Angeles is a summer resort that eastern people find more to their liking than most other places, and those with means are coming here year after year. Dahlias are becoming more of a fea- ture and gladioli are good and plentiful. A few asters are in, but they are not first-rate by any means. Baby roses are less plentiful and the smaller out- door flowers are poor. Sweet peas are of fair quality only. Orchids and valley are about equal to the demand. Greens are more plentiful, with the exception of good maidenhair ferns. Various Notes. At the Los Angeles Flower Market large quantities of stock continue to move. Quite a lot of business is done here in funeral work for out-of-town flo- rists and nurserymen who have not the conveniences to do it for themselves. These find it more profitable to turn the trade over to a wholesaler who has every facility for carrying it out well at a moderate price. This is perfectly legitimate wholesale business, quite dis- tinct from "red violets." Captain Gray has moved from the Ingleside Floral Co., and the place will soon go out of existence as a florists' establishment. He is now living on the south side, at Forty-eighth street and Second avenue, and is considering sev- eral up-town locations to open up in the retail end. From present indications Frank Lichtenberg will have a .fine and thor- oughly up-to-date store in the new Hollingsworth building when it is com- pleted.

Always trying to be up-to-date, Mr. Gage, since the frost last spring, has made arrangements to grow part, at jeast, of his asparagus seed under glass, to insure being able to supply the trade. Still another nursery at Montebello. This time the Figueroa Street Nursery, forci il out of its city location, has bou^lit five acres near the foothills. M. Meyberg and Marc Germain, of the Cermain Seed & Plant Co., returned from a business trip to San Diego last week and Mr. Meyberg left for the north July 16. F. Borden, of the Eedondo Floral Co., reports business good, so good that Mr. Knopf, calling at the store in the inter- vals of automobiling, is pressed into service and kept at it until he sees the chance for a get-away. Tom Wright is still busy with his alarm device, which he has now brought to what appears to be absolute perfec- tion. Already prominent insurance com- panies are interested in it and indica- tions are that it will be given a high rating. Mr. Wright intends exhibiting it at the S. A. F. convention at Minne- apolis, where greenhouse men will have an opportunity of seeing it. H. R. Bichards. The park commission has received the opinion of the city attorney that it has the power to carry out its plans of erecting flower stands at Central park and leasing them to private individuals. The stands are to be at the four en- trances to the park and of such a char- acter as to add to the decoration. The first will be built as an experiment at Fifth and Hill streets. H. G. Wright has made application to lease the stands from the city. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. Business is quiet all along the line, but nothing else is expected when sum- mer conditions prevail. Stock is hold- ing out well, especially carnations, and the supply, on the whole, is just about suflBcient to take care of the local de- mand. Roses are not overplentiful, Kaiserins have proved to be good sell- ers. The quality of the roses is up to standard, except that the foliage is badly injured by mildew. Sweet peas are abundant and are the best selling flowers in the market. Coreopsis, gail- lardias and helianthus are overplentiful. Orchids and valley are scarce; the few left-over June brides are creating a 'lemand in that line. Various Notes. K. L.

He was well known in the local trade, having been in business at Hillsdale for many years. The regular meeting of the Florists' t'lub was held July 14. F. A. Van Kirk, on taking the chair, delivered a speech of acceptance which will long be remembered by those present. Commit- tees were appointed to look after dif- ferent matters of interest, to investi- gate the advisability of holding a flower show this fall and to consider the organ- ization of a dahlia society. Fred Jensen, of Kelso, Wash., was a week-end caller, E. E. C. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business has been stimulated a little this week owing to the carnival times of the Potlatch. Several florists have good orders for decorating automobiles and floats for the various parades. Good roses are scarce and there has been a «onsiderable demand for carnations. The shipping business continues good. Various Notes. July 1,3 a number of well intentioned florists devoted the day to helping C. Hoffmeister repair the damaged green- houses of the Washington Floral Co. The serious damage done by the wind on the preceding Sunday was fairly well obliterated by nightfall. Mrs. Hoff- meister kindly entertained the visitors at a splendid repast and, with his two charming daughters to wait on them, the putty artists were more than repaid for their labor. Mr. Hoffmeister is one of our oldest florists and has the respect and esteem of all in the trade. T. W. SOW Buas. Can you tell me how to get rid of sow bugs in the greenhouse, the bugs that curl up in a ball when disturbed! C. A. S. Keep the greenhouse as free as pos- sible from decaying wood or vegetable matter, as that is what most attracts the sow bugs, although they seem also to have a liking for Rex begonias, ferns and for carnations at the time of re- establishment. There are two or three ways of getting rid of the bugs already in the benches. The best is to prepare a mixture of granulated sugar and Paris green, with enough of the latter to give it a lively green color, and to drop pinches here and there along the edge- boards. Fresh bran and powdered sugar mixed with Paris green or white arsenic may be dropped here and there in the same manner or left in saucers in the benches. The next day the dead bugs may be swept out. Boiling water kills the bugs and may be sprinkled with a watering pot with a coarse rose in places where it will not affect the plants. Turnips and potatoes scooped out and laid on the benches will attract the bugs. When you find a number gathered on the vegetable, drop it in a can of boiling or nearly boiling water.

Otis, of Lake Charles, La., has sold a $1,000 order for trees and shrubs to residents of Beaumont, Tex., for orna- mental purposes. Pollard Bros., of South Pasadena, Cal., have purchased twenty acres of land near Whittier and planted nursery stock between rows of orange trees. Th£ nurserymen are feeling the sting of government competition: they object to the Forest Bureau distribution of seeds and seedlings either free or at cost. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a pamphlet, under date of July 12, containing the notice of the ex- tended New England quarantine and the regulations that will go into effect Au- gust 1. Eight years ago J. A. Young started a nursery, about two acres in size, just west of Aurora, 111. The Aurora Nursery Co., of which he is the president, now con- tains over thirty acres and is still grow- ing. The Bureau of Entomology of the U. S. Department of Agriculture has estab- lished a branch at 43 Tremont street, Boston, for the purpose of enforcing the gypsy moth and brown-tail moth regula- tions. C. M. Geiffing, of the Griffing Bros. Co., the southern nursery firm, recently delivered an interesting and instructive address on "The Physical Development of Cities," at a meeting held in Port Arthur, Tex., under the auspices of the Men's Civic League. Mr. GriflSng's head- quarters are at Jacksonville, Fla., and his company has branch nurseries and offices at Port Arthur and other places. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Bechtel-Swartwout Horticul- tural Co., at Mobile, Ala. The company proposes to conduct a general merchan- dise, horticultural nursery, live stock and realty business, with headquarters at Fowl River, Ala., and has a capitalization of $25,000, of which $17,100 is paid in. The incorporators are Theodore Bechtel, proprietor of the Bechtel Pecan Nurs- eries, at Ocean Springs, Miss.; Leslie G. Swartwout, of Fowl River, Ala., and C. C. Mechem, Jr., of Mobile, Ala. MAINE LAW IS CHANGED. State Horticulturist Gardner calls at- tention to the change of the law rela- tive to carrying on the business of selling or dealing in nursery stock. The law reads: "No person, firm or cor- poration, excepting growers, shall en- gage in, continue in, or carry on the business of selling or dealing in nur- sery stock, or solicit purchases of nur- sery stock within this state, either as owner thereof, or as agent of such owner, without first obtaining a license to carry on and conduct such business in this state." This new law is different from the old law, in that dealers as well as agents or solicitors are liable to the license fee, so that any firms, such as some of the 5 and 10-cent stores, which in the past have been selling rose bushes and some of the other hardy shrubs, will be re- quired to pay the regular fee. The form of license is prescribed by the state horticulturist, and the license will be issued by him upon proper ap- plication. The fee is $5 per annum for agents, dealers, salesmen or solicitors. Fees obtained from such licenses will be paid into the state treasury and added to the appropriation of the bu- reau of horticulture, and will be used exclusively for the inspection of nur- sery stock in the state of Maine. TEXAS SOCIETY TO MEET. The twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Texas State Horticultural So- ciety will be held in connection with the annual gathering of the Texas Farmers ' congress, at College Station, July 28 to 30. The officers of the society are: President, M. Falkner, Waco; vice-pres- idents, W. C. Griffing, Port Arthur, and J. H. Arbenz, Sarita, and secretary- treasurer, E. J. Kyle, College Station. A paper on the life and work of T. V. Munson, the nurseryman and grape-hybridist of Denison, who died last January, will be presented by J. S. Kerr, of the Texas Nursery Co., at Sher- man. Other papers will be given by Sam H. Dixon, Houston; H. R. Wallace, Sherman; J. H. Arbenz, Sarita; Fritz Engelhardt, Eagle Lake; Chas. L. Ed- wards, Dallas, and W. A. Nabors. The meeting will be of especial interest to nurserymen and fruit growers. STORAGE OF NURSERY STOCK. I wish to build a cold storage shed in which to place shrubs, trees, etc., shipped to me late in the fall or early in the spring. Will you kindly inform me how such a shed should be con- structed in this Ohio climate f The nursery stock received in the fall would have to be stored in the same way as at the nurseries where stock is handled in such a manner. Should the building be frost-proof, and would the stock keep better if heeled in rather than stacked up in such a building, in the way the large nurseries pack it? When the stock is piled up with roots exposed, are the latter filled in with sphagnum, damp straw or similar mate- rial? Kindly describe the whole pro- For Sale -My Entire Stock off HARDY PHLOX The largest collection in one lot: all the good things, both from home and abroad, also many new seedlings crossed by me; nearly 300 varie- ties.

The letter does not state what kind of trees and shrubs are to be stored or the uses to which they are to be put. If they are hardy trees which are to be stored during the winter and which will not be needed until spring, the best way will be to construct a single-wall house in which to trench the trees. lu such a house they will freeze up when severe weather comes and will remain frozen until the arrival of warm weather in the spring. The principal objection to trenching the trees is that they start growth quite early in the spring. This can be delayed to some extent if the house is opened at night, so that it will cool down, and is kept closed during the day. On the other hand, if the trees are to be used during the winter, a frost-proof house is desirable. Nurserymen find such a house quite helpful, as it en- ables them to put up their orders dur- ing the winter. In these houses it is possible to rick up the trees, with the roots outwai'd, covered with sphagnum, excelsior packing, etc. If the air be- comes too dry, care must be taken to lleHo,Wr.CatalogaeMan Are You Interested in Novelties?

N. Y. The Market. There has been a slight increase in trade during the last week, but business, both wholesale and retail, could be much better for the time of year. In- door stock is plentiful, but outdoor stock is suffering greatly for lack of rain. A few days' heavy wind just about dried up the ground and much watering has to be done. Last Sunday's wind storm did quite a bit of damage both to flowers and fruit. Most of the growers are preparing for their fall work and are emptying their green- houses of carnations and allowing them to blossom outdoors. The young plants are almost ready for indoors and have good, strong roots. The carnations we receive now are not at all good. Their stems are short and crooked, their blossoms are small and they have the appearance of being faded. Prices, however, are low. •Some good asters and gladioli are on the market. Sweet peas are not up to the mark; only a few arrive in first- class condition. Valley is plentiful and good. Harrisii lilies are being shipped in from out of town. Roses of nearly all kinds are good when they arrive, but a.s soon as they are exposed they open up so rapidly that many are quite unsalable. Greens are all plentiful. Funeral work has come more evenly lately, and the up-town florists have been busy. Most of the stores are short-handed on account of the vaca- tion season. Farm Bureau Association Meeting. A great number of farmers attended the meeting of the Farm Bureau Asso- ciation held at the Chamber of Com- merce July 18. The chief speakers were Calvin H. Huson, commissioner of agri- culture, Bert Dahl, of the Chicago Coun- cil of Grain Exchanges, and L. A. Clin- ton, of the North Atlantic division of the Department of Agriculture at Washington. W. D. Auchter, of South Greece, presided. Before the meeting the members were taken on automobile rides through some of the farming and fruit growing sections and later to an excellent dinner. Various Notes. Clarke Vick is on a fishing trip at Canandaigua lake. E. B. Fry purchased a new two-ton Little Giant automobile truck last week. It is enfoaeled dark blue with gold let-' terin^ and presents an at|||^ive ap- pearance. Charles W. Curtis, of Ifondii^uoit, N.

Miss Edith Diflfenbaugh, bookkeeper for the Keystone Nurseries, is on her vacation. Chas. M. and Elmer J. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa., are getting in shape for the coming season. They have about 15,000 carnation plants housed already and 125,000 aster plants in the field, from which they are cutting some fine asters of various colors. The above totals are for both ranges. H. B. Weaver, of Bird-in-Hand, has 30,000 asters planted out, from which he is cutting some excellent flowers. He has also 20,000 strong-looking carna- tions in the field, which he will house in a week or so. :_ Boss Zafader, fi|f Soudersburg, Pa., is also cutting a quantity of gopd asters of all colors.

V ^ The Florists' Review ^ ^Just a Word If you are growing Snapdragon from cuttings, plant a few Silver Pink seedlings alongside. Later you will wish they were all seedlings and thank us for bringing you into the light. Two blossoms to one on the same space will open your eyes and make you a fast friend to Silver Pink FROM SEED. For proof see letters in recent ads, and the accompanying illustration of a bed at Memorial Day. Nothing in sight but blossoms and dollars. You could grasp in one hand a dozen blossoms any- where on the bed. Silver Pink from seed is a bread and butter variety, and more; it will shove over some extra dollars for vacation time and keep the help happy while you are away by furnishing the necessary goods for any rush orders. We have both seeds and plants. Sow seed now for a con« tinuous supply of blossoms from February until July, with a full round-up at Easter and Memorial. If you want blossoms this fall, use plants. The price is 14.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. Price of seed, over 500 to the packet, $1.00; 3 pkts., $2.50; 7 pkts., $5 00, by mail. Cultural directions free. Quite a few are ordering the larger amount of seed, which will give them their supply and extra plants for neighbors, which is also highly profitable. Our plants are thinning out; better let your order come. G. S. RAMSBURG, Somersworth, N. H. Mpntlon Thp Rpylew when yon write. Mention The Review when you write.

The Market. Business does not show niucli im- provement over last week. Vacations are in full force, but those ou the job are well able to take care of the little business that comes along. Most of the stores are closing at G \k m. and Sun- days at noon. Stock is scarce. Carnations are still to be had, but are extremely poor. As- ters are hardly yet making an impres- sion, most of them being of poor qual ity. Easter lilies are finding a ready demand and gladioli are moving well. Some first-class Beauties are to be seen. Various Notes. The city of Indianapolis took out a building permit last week for the new conservatories at Garfield park, to cost $28,000. This is a much needed improve- ment, as the old greenhouses at that place would be a disgrace to any florist, let alone the city of Indianapolis. E. J. Brown, of Shelbyville, visited the different florists one day last week. A. Wiegand's Sons Co. and Bauer & Steinkamp arc doing quite a business in poinsettias. Sidney Smith has just about wound things up at his place and is playing the part of a gentleman now. Herman Junge and Carl Sonnen- schmidt are touring northern Indiana in an automobile. George Wiegand is contemplating an automobile trip to New York soon. Adolph Baur and Oliver Steinkamp were the only Indianapolis florists who attended the state florists' meeting at Winona Lake last week. L. F. Benson reports business good for this time of the year. He says that he has been getting considerable funeral work of late. Alfred Brandt has added canary birds and goldfish to his line. H. L. W. POINSETTIAS We have reduced the propagation of this plant to a science. We root them as sure as you do a coleus cutting, and in large quantity. That makes it easy for us to give you plants that are right. We are now shipping as fine young plants as you ever laid eyes on. Sturdy, short stuff that will start right off and finish up with the highest quality. Plant now for large bracts for cutting.

MARTIN GRATE CO. 343 S. Dearborn Street, CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. of the manufacturers of greenhouse heating apparatus, whose advertise- ments will be found in The Eeview. As already stated, by using a gen- erator upon a hot water heating system, it is possible to warm the water even above the boiling point. This not only makes it possible to use smaller pipe, but the number of square feet of radia- tion can be considerably reduced, and when a poor circulation is obtained, either from using small pipe or other causes, the attachment of a generator will improve the circulation. On the other hand, it should be stated that when the water is heated to 200 degrees and more through the use of a gen- erator, it will be at the expense of greater fuel consumption. THE FUEL SITUATION EAST. "Prices on practically every grade of soft coal entering the New York mar- ket have taken on additional strength during the last week or ten days, ' ' says an authority on the situation there. " In a measure this is accounted for by light receipts at tide-water fol- lowing the holiday shutdown, but quotations for mine shipment have also advanced, indicating that the influences making for a firmer market are more permanent in their nature. As a mat- ter of fact, demand seems to be steadily outstripping supply, thus reversing the usual midsummer condition and bring- ing about buoyancy in the price list at a time when depression usually pre- vails.

Another feature of the present situation is an unusual demand from some parts (if the middle west for low volatile Som- erset county coals, as a substitute for West V^irginia smokeless.

I have bought a vertical steam boiler, twenty-four inches in diameter and five feet high, with twenty-four 2-inch tubes thirty-seven inches long. I am going to tap it for a 3%-inch pipe and use it for hot water.

Business has been exceptionally quiet. This has helped the florists, as there is a great scarcity of flowers. Gladioli are coming in, though in no striking vari- eties, but they have been welcome and have sold well. There are some good Shasta daisies on the market, but no asters have come yet. Various Notes. The Cushmau Gladiolus Co., Sylvania, O., is sending in some fine sweet peas and finds a ready market for all that can be cut. Congratulations are being showered on our \t)ungest and most enterprising florist, FraAk Schramm. A nine-pound baby girl was welcomed to his home last week. Much of the success of the flCrists' picnic was due to the untiring zeal of Mr, Schramm. Miss Swartz, of the Patten Flower Store, has returned from a freighter trip to Duluth and other northern points. Jacob Helmer, of the same firm, is on a fishing trip, and there will be big fish stories to tell, even though there be no fish. John Barrow's charming daughter, Maybelle, has returned from her wed- ding trip. H. F. P. BATAVIA, N. Y. There is some activity in building among the local florists this summer. Walter W. Stroh, of L. C. Stroh & Sons, has purchased a lot on Kiver street, of Everett Tomlinson, on which he con- templates building a home. Gustav Noack finds that he is compelled to remodel and enlarge his range of glass. He has had an excellent trade this summer, especially on porch boxes and vases. IJis geraniums were fine plants this year. In the line of weather, we must say that we are having a really dry time. We had some light showers July 20, but the sun absorbed the rain about as fast as it descended.

The Florists' Review liX^^^ 3i^ }i.irsfrsfrsjrsfrsssL:k5LJi3:s5LSS^ THE RETAIL FLORIST ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^S pggS DESIGNS OF IMMORTELLES. A florist is occasionally* called upon to execute work to be used under con- ditions which no ordinary materials will stand. It is then that he must exercise that ingenuity which shows him to be above the ordinary. H. E. I'isher, of Marysville, Kan., received an order for floral pieces for the reunion of Kansas and Nebraska soldiers, which lasted for four days of hot July weather in torrid Kansas. The two illustrations on this pape show the pieces he fur- nished. They are both made of im- mortelles, with magnolia and cycas leaves for the background. To the people at the reunion the de- signs were quite novel. The question on their lips was, "Why don't they wilt?" They had not seen immortelles used in this manner before. As Mr. Fisher has no shop uptown, he got permission to place the pieces in the show window of one of the large up- town stores. The designs proved to be an attractive display for the store and a splendid advertisement for Mr Fisher. THE LAW IN CHICAaO. Prohibits Second Use of Wire Work. There are constant complaints that funeral work is taken from the ceme- i If* An Indestructible Design. ♦eries nnd the wire work and perhaps the moss used again and again. In f^ome cases the cemeteries are accused of selling the designs after the flowers have perished, and in others it is al- leged the cemetery employees give the "laterial to sonje favored florist. Of ..I I li? ■Anv-i.i; course no first-class florist would know- ingly use a piece of wire that had al- ready made a trip to the cemetery, but there are, unfortunately, those whose perceptions are not so keen and whose thought dwells more on the pennies thus picked up than on the greater loss which would ensue should the practice become known to their customers. In Chicago the matter is covered by law. The ordinance was adopted by unanimous vote of the city council and no doubt a similar ordinance can be put through in any city where there is need for it. The ordinance is as fol- lows: An Ordinance Belating to the disposition of floral de- signs in cemeteries. Be it ordained by the city council of the city of Chicago: Section 1. That it shall hereafter be unlawful for a superintendent, man- ager or person in charge of any ceme- tery located within the city of Chicago, to permit any wire floral design, moss or other substance used in the making; and filling of the same, when such floral design has been once placed upon or ad- jacent to the grave of any person buried in such cemetery or in any vault in such cemetery in which any dead body has been placed, to be removed from such cemetery, except for the purpose of de- stroying such floral design, moss or other substance used in making and filling the same. It shall be the duty of the superin- tendent, manager or person in charge of every cemetery located in the city of Chicago to destroy or cause to be de- stroyed by fire, so far as possible, all floral designs, together with the moss and other substance used in making and filling the same, within ten (10) days after such floral designs have been placed upon or adjacent to the grave of any person buried in said cemeter}-. Sec. 2. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to sell, of- fer fpr sale or to purchase, receive or remov>! from any cemetery located in the city of Chicago, excepting for the purpose of destruction, any wire or floral design, moss or other substance used in filling the same, when such floral design, moss or other substance has been once placed on or adjacent to the grave of any person buried in such cemetery in which any dead body has been placed. Sec. 3. Any person, firm or corpora- tion who violates, neglects or refuses to comply with or who resists or op- poses the enforcement of any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be fined not less than $10 nor more than $200 for each offense, and every such person, firm or corporation shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for every day such violation, neglect or refusal shall continue. Sec. 4. All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent wilh this ordi- nance are hereby repealed. Sec. 5. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and publication. THOBOUOHNESS. Lack of thoroughness is an extremely common fault, among florists as among others. Thoroughness practically measures the difference between the average and the- highly successful man. If you wish to pass the other work- ers think in this way: "The average- person is not thorough, therefore even a little thoroughness will surpass him."' This thought should inspire any am- bitibus florist to be thorough. Most of the people in the ' ' average ' ' class are content to let well enough alone and say, "That's good enough"; instead of saying, "I can do that bet- ter and I will do it better. ' ' There comes a time when every flo- rist's work is put to the test and it is '-^ \\ Flag: Mad£ of Immortelles. then that the thorough man jrets the credit. Whether it be an imlividual or a business, some day the credit will come for doing everything a little hit bet- ter than the other fellow and the re- ward will be immediate.

Mothers' day was a bright idea; Fathers' day is nothing but a plagiar- ism. The sweet sentiment that made Mothers' day an instantaneous success is wholly lacking in Fathers' day; it is nearly, if not quite, a joke. The Review, which has been given more or less credit for building up the business the trade does for Mothers' d&y, has many times been asked to get back of Fathers' day and push it. But The Review believes that the less said about Fathers ' day, the better it will be for the trade. Fathers ' day makes no broad appeal; the chances are that an attempt to boost Fathers ' day to a place on the same plane as Mothers' day will WE desire to get in touch with every lover of Flowers To have you know the quality of our stock— the perfection of ser- service — the original- ity of ideas.

Haphazard signs and semi-occasional announcements do not biing sufficient return and are far from economical. The ailvertiser must bear in mind the people whom he wishes to reach and the various kinds of stock he desires to bring especially to their attention. With these in view he can then find out what are the best means of doing that kind of advertis- ing and clearly map out a campaign that will bring in the profits. A great many firms set aside a certain per- centage of the annual sales to be ap- plied to advertising. When a definite course is so planned and good copy is supplied results are sure to follow. A concern that has given much study and c6re to its advertising is that of Jacob Schuiz, Louisville. Ky. Thi's con- cern allows about five per cent of its gross sales for advertising. After ex- perimenting with the various sorts of advertising, including electric signs and billboards, it was decided that the best way to reach the general public is through the newspapers, with a pri- vate mailing list to follow up by means of post cards noting some special fea- ture. For week-end sales, too, the newspapers have been found to be the best means of reaching the people. The usual campaign method has been to insert several advertisements in the local papers for some special occasion, such as Mothers' day. Memorial day. or graduation time, and then to mail post cards, 5x7 inches, to the names which the store has gradually gathered on its .mailing list. The cards are printed in colors and usually bear the prices of the flowers of the season. Those items which are particularly ap- jiropriate to the occasion always are given emphasis. By means of the mail- ing list, the suggestion is directly put to the store 's patrons, and to others as well, and put the more strongly be- cause this mode of advertising is one little used by florists. The illustration shows the style of advertisement that is run ordinarily. It is not large, three and one-half inches, single column, but attracts at- tention by its neat appearance, if by nothing else. In it notice is called to those things which are likely to attract new customers; the features for special occasions are the ones particularly im- portant to old patrons. Advertising with a system is adver- tising with a punch — it gets home. G. E. Schuiz, manager of the concern, has a profound belief in its results. For example, this is what he says of the Memorial day trade: "The business in our section for Memorial day has not amounted to a red -penny, but I believe by getting after the business we will in time be able to make it pay." A CHARLESTON RETAILER. South Carolina is not often heard froni in the florists' business, but the illustrations on page 9, of the Arcade Floral Shoi», the store of F. W. Kum- mer, at Charleston, S. C, shows that trade is flourishing there. Mr. Kummer has been in that city for fifteen years and has built up a business that he thinks is second to none in the vicinity. He has a good-sized window, in which he is able to arrange fine displays, which brinp in the business. Inside there are all the up-to-date features that enable the retailer of this size to keep abreast of the times. HOW ABOUT THIS? The lady of the house was dead. The casket lay in the drawing room. It was the morning of the funeral. The flowers began to arrive. But where was the pall? It had been ordered from a retailer who makes much of the high-toned character of his store, his stock and his service. Presently the florist arrived — with the cover. It was made on one of those wire frames, in sections. And the sections were not joined together. The florist and his men brought in their numerous boxes, carried them to a corner of the room in which the corpse lay, unpacked, and the three of them spent two whole hours there, finishing their job. In the meantime nearly 200 designs were delivered, unpacked in a rear room and carried into the parlor. And didn't those florists marvel to s.e the other fellow fashioning his blank( t there! But the question is, what did tlie familv think? What did the friendss think? It wasn't in a country town; it was in a big city, where the people know flowers, and where florists usually can be counted on to know what they are doing. Was it good business, bringing the florist and his work so into the fore- ground? - Or was it just a case where things didn't "break" right and the work consumed much more time than was planned? BAKER AT GETTYSBURG. A numljer of florists were amon^' those who attended the reunion of the Civil war veterans at Gettysburg du7- ing the first week of July. They are all veteran florists as well as veteran soldiers and their names are well known to those in the trade. One of these old-timers, William J. Baker, of Philadelphia, is shown in the acconi- I)anying illustration; he is on his way from the mess tent, where he has been getting his meal in the same way, though perhaps not of the same kinds of food, that he got it fifty years ago. Mr. Baker served during the war in the Twenty-third Pennsylvania Volun- teers. MR. EISELE TALKS. J. D. Eisele, vice-president of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., one of the ablest and best informed plantsmen in this coun try, was in cheerful mood after the ' close of the planting season. Mr. Eisele W. J. Baker at Gettyibure. was in his office at Riverton, N. J., with a clean lot of greenhouses aroxmd him and the orders all in good shape. H'" drew two chairs, lighted a meerschaum and talked about matters of interest late one afternoon this week.

Karins telephoned me from the show last April that he was bringing over about twenty western men to Riverton. After they had been over the place Her- bert G. Tull arranged a little dinner for them at Green's hotel in Philadelphia. They sent a district messenger boy down here just before they returned to New York with a letter to me that they had all signed. Next day came the Interior of the Arcade Floral Shop, Charlestoo, S. G more than formerly, but it is quite a serious matter to keep the oflBce up to time, with all the other things besides. The young man who had charge of the orders had 5,000 of them in the safe and 2,000 more floating around here at one time. He was obliged to work every night and Sundays through the spring. I tried to cheer him every "now and then by saying that we were one day closer to the Fourth of July, and when, on the last Sunday in May, there was no work he assured me he felt quite lost with nothing to do. This will show you how it was this spring. All our cleaning up is nicely done and the three places, Kiverton, Riverview and Locust Farm, are all in excellent condition. "Palm sales have been larger this month than in July of last year, while the stock of ferns has never been in livelier demand. I am pleased with Adiantum Glory of Mordrecht. We grew 5,000 plants in 2i/^-inch pots for Christmas baskets and our customers were so pleased with them that they ordered more like them for Easter. You see, it is a durable Farleyense. "The demand for hybrid tea roses is still increasing, not so much for the standard varieties as for the novelties. I often found it difficult to remember the less marked varieties of hybrid per- petuals without consulting the labels, but with hybrid teas there is such wide range of color and form that every ama- teur distinguishes them at a glance. The yellows and orange-shaded varieties have had a wonderful run of popularity. Harry Kirk and several others are in- cluded in most of the collections. Then there are the high-priced novelties; it is a good sign that we actually ran short of these. We had 300 at $2.50 each, a pretty good price for a rose in a pot. Our range of Cocos Weddelliana has given me some anxiety, because it was necessary to make a change in that de- partment. I went through the houses this morning with pleasure, for the cocos are, if anything, even better than usual. You know, summer is the crit- ical time with cocos. "Do I want to see the National Flower Show come to Philadelphia? Yes, in October, but, considering it in the interest of Henry A. Dreer, not in March or April. You see, for nine months of the year we prepare for the spring rush. It is impossible for us to undertake extra work at that time. To give an instance of what I mean, people have criticised us for not taking space in the National Flower Show in New York last April, saying that it was be- cause of the high rates charged. They overlooked the fact that we had con- tributed $200 to the prize fund and $200 more to the guarantee fund. The Min- neapolis show next month, which I be- lieve will be smaller than the New York show in April, has our support to the extent of $180 for floor space and $447 for outdoor space, or $627 in all. The smaller show receives support because we are able to give it without neglect- ing our work. "Speaking of the National Flower Show reminds me that this is a National pipe. Phil. SMALL-LEAVED CYCLAMEN. Will you kindly give me some in- formation about cyclamen? I obtained what was supposed to be the best giganteum seed, but though the plants, which are now in 3-inch pots, look healthy and show good root action, their leaves are only about one-third the size of those on plants belonging to a friend of mine, that are also in 3-inch pots. Do the smaller leaves necessarily mean an inferior strain f I used for compost one part rotten manure, one part leaf-mold and one part ordinary loam. Was that about right? C. G. J. The giganteum strains of cyclamen usually produce leaves fully as large as those of the ordinary C. Persicum, in some eases larger. I have, however, seen strains which carried small foliage and large flowers. Your soil mixture is good, and with the addition of some sharp sand and a little powdered char- coal should be ideal. If your plants have active roots and are healthy, and the seeds have been procured from a thoroughly reliable source, it seems needless to worry about the strain. After the next shift, when the plants are established in their flowering pots, try feeding them with light top-dress- ings of Clay's fertilizer once in ten to fourteen days. A teaspoonful suffices for a 6-inch pot. Probably, being a large cyclamen grower, you do not need this advice, but if you have not yet tried it, do so. If you know of any superior "tonic" for these use- ful winter-flowering plants, I should be glad to know what it is. C. W. Store of F. ▼. Kummer, the Arcade Floral Shop, Charlestont S.

The city of Minneapolis, where the Society of American Florists and Orna- mental Horticulturists holds its con- vention August 19 to 23, forms with St. Paul the Twin Cities. These two cities occupy both banks of the Mis- sissippi river and practically form one large community of 600,000 inhabitants, as the line of demarcation is indistin- guishable. In all things save govern- ment the two are as one. *" Situated in the heart of the greatest wheat country of the world, which cov- ers an area equal to that of Great Brit- ain, France and Germany, the two cities handle a tremendous trade. Minneapo- lis, having the advantage of its location on the Falls of St. Anthony, has out- stripped its neighbor, although founded twenty years later. Its name of the "Flour City" indicates the source of its greatest wealth; grain elevators and flour mills towering against the sky- line will be a constant reminder of the fact to convention visitors. Among these structures are both the largest elevator and the . largest mill in the world. The combined capacity of the mills reaches 84,000 barrels of flour per day. Ranks Fourteenth in Manufactures. Not far from the milling district are the Chamber of Commerce and the Flour and Corn Exchange buildings. In the former are bought and sold the enor- mous quantities of grain which the mills convert into flour, and more cash wheat is sold there than in any other place in the world. The transaction of this gigantic business has made the city the financial as well as trading capital of the northwest. The clearings of the twenty-four banks reach $1,250,000,000 annually. Attracted by the tremendous power of the falls, other industries have added takes its name, from the numeroug mounds in it and is supposed to have been once an Indian burial ground. to the wealth of Minneapolis, making it fourteenth in rank in the industrial centers of the country. The lumber mills are not so large as they once were, but the manufacturing of ma- chinery, textiles, linseed products and other wares is growing at a rapid rate. The agricultural and mineral wealth of its territory tend to add to the wealth and igreatness of the city as they are developed. The Park System. As famous as the flour mills of the city is the park system of Minneapolis, of which Theodore Wirth is supej^in- tendent. The total acreage is 3,7ld^ of , which one-third is made up of the canals, lagoons and twenty distinct lakes within the city limits. About one acre in every ten in the city is given over to recreation purposes. The whole system represents an investment of about $6,000,000 for the land and im- provements, and the donations are esti- mated at approximately $800,000. The principal parks are connected by a boulevard thirty-five miles in length, which may be covered in an. auto- mobile ride of two hours. Lake Cal- houn has one of the finest inland bath- ing beaches in the country and the bath house there is famous. Minnehaha parkway follows the creek of that name and leads to Minnehaha park, in which are the falls named for the bride of Longfellow's Indian hero. Joining the park are the grounds of Fort Snelling, which has played such a great part in the history of the city, state and na- tion. It is not far to the grounds of the University of Minnesota. At Glen- wood park are the nurseries which sup- ply the material for the plantings in the parks and at Lyndale park is the rose garden. Between Minneapolis and St. Paul are the grounds of the Minnesota State Fair, and in the capital city are the fa- mous Como park and the Mounds, which SOCIETY OF AMEBICAN FLORISTS.

Florists' organizations in the Twin Cities began an existence twenty-five years ago in St. Paul, when the Ramsey County Florists' and Gardeners' Asso- ciation held a flower show, a profitable one. For some unknown reason, how- ever, this organization dissolved with $800 in the treasury. Several years afterward there was organized the Asso- ciation of Minnesota Florists, of which E. Nagel was the president. The asso- ciation had members in both cities and progressed successfully for several years, but finally dissolved for lack of interest. The Twin City Florists' Club came into existence in 1907, when Theodore Wirth, superintendent of the parks of Minneapolis, invited the florists of the two cities to inspect the newly com- pleted greenhouse, the first built by the park board of that city. The members of the trade thus got acquainted and in the following December the club was organized under the following officers: President, Theodore Wirth; vice-presi- dent, O. J. Olson, St. Paul; secretary, S. D. Dysinger, St. Paul, and treasurer, H. A. Latham, Minneapolis. Work of the Association. Mr. Wirth continued as president un- til he resigned in 1911 and was suc- <'eeded by Hugh Will, of Minneapolis. The other officers remain the same with the exception of treasurer; E. P. Holm, St. Paul, holds this office. There are at I'resent fif^y-three members. The meet- ings alternate between the two cities t^ach month and a winter dance and a f .-^ '.

The Hbfists* Review tl might mention that of 500 plants of one variety bought from the States this season, only a dozen were saved. Con- sequently these trade arrangements must be a big saving to the trade col- lectively, and other specialists in hor- ticulture would do well to give the mat- ter consideration. "Mr. Totty's specialties are chrysan- themums, roses and carnations. The chief part of the chrysanthemum busi- ness is explained above, but I must mention that he distributed Eose Sunburst, in conjunction with E. G. Hill, for Pernet-Ducher. This was a fine business for those concerned, and Mr. Pernet-Ducher was no doubt pleased with the results that Mr. Hill was able to report. Also, we bought quite an insignificant number of Eose Lady Hillingdon when in the novelty stage for Mr. Totty, and two years since we bought in the variety, Mrs. Geo. Shawyer. Mr. Totty worked these hard and practically had the monopoly of both varieties in the States, and could have handed the distributor here a good round sum had he been working with an agreement on the W. P. T. lines. His thirst for novelties can not be satisfied, but they must be tip-top things, or he can not do much with them. To prove this, Mr. Totty grew our new chrysanthemum. Queen Mary, in large quantities last season. The records of this variety are still in the memory of all in Britain, but the thing was a failure in the States, so Mr. Totty offered stock to anybody on his side that cared to try so famous a variety, but few indeed took the trou- ble to write for it. It seems remarkable that the variety every enthusiast here was talking about should be worthless there, yet it is satisfying to know that he prevented our sending out an un- suitable variety which would disappoint our customers. "In all departments of the horticul- tural trade there is a necessity to pur- chase new things from other climes. When these novelties are once on the market in the country of origin, they are promptly purchased by the up-to- date man here, but it is a speculation. They are worked up to the hitch, and if good placed on the market here twelve months or so later, usually at a reduced price. This method doesn't bring any one trader in a lot of money, and but little advertisement or credit. It means he has to be quick in flowering the plant, and spend much money to let people know he has the new thing, or the failures will be added to. In men- tioning these facts, I am not including carnations or roses only by any means; almost every branch of the trade is concerned. Climatic conditions on plants are so varied that it would be of great benefit personally and to the trade generally if these working ar- rangements of testing out new plants were carried out by specialists in de- partments other than my own, and it would create more trade and be an in- ternational benefit to horticulture. "Not long ago Mr. Totty began growing chrysanthemums in a small way, and had quite a small establish- ment. Shortly after the Twombly place was offered him, which was mere- ly across a paddock from his houses. This estate was a model building built by a private gentleman, who thought it father too large for him to keep up. The packing sheds are built in the shape of a right angle, which is really "WHO'S WHO-AND WHY" O. W. McKELLAB. WITH rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she makes music wherever she goes. ' ' That 's the way the old nursery jingle had it, and it 's almost the same with Charlie McKellar — the only difference is that with a smile on his face and a pleasant word on his lips he makes friends wherever he goes. "Mack" once was known as one of "those Chicago Indians," but in later years he has become one of the most quiet and conservative of business men, without losing in the least the quality of making a life's friend of everyone he meets, even in the most casual way. Hardly ever does a florist visit Chicago without calling on McKellar, just to pass a cheery time-of-day. a covered avenue about twenty feet wide. The houses are entered from this avenue, which is 200 feet each way, and which is used as packing and pot- ting sheds, offices, flower stores, box rooms, etc. A double sliding door is at each end and a two-horse van can go the whole way through to pick up or deliver goods. The gentleman who built the plant used to drive a four-in- hand through, and from that view the plants and flowers in the shed and houses. In the angle are the boilers and the steam pipes go along the roof and floor of the sheds, so that every part can be reached in the winter with- out putting any pipes outdoors. "Mr. Totty has a very extensive re- tail trade besides a large wholesale business. Chrysanthemums, carnations and roses are perhaps the chief items, but anything that will sell is not ob- jected to. Since taking over the Twom- bly houses, the business has increased to such an extent that he has taken over still more houses, also adjoining. Three of our lads were there working among the chrysanthemums, and while I was pleased to learn they were get- ting on so well, I was a bit grieved to be told they didn't want to come home again, except for a holiday and to see the old people. They appreciate the almighty dollar better than the English shilling, and they didn't mind telling, me they possessed more of the former now than they did of the latter while at home. It seems to be a great loss to the old country that these young men should leave it, but to anybody that will work, whether they make headway here or not, there are plenty of chances in the States or in Canada. Money can be made and saved much quicker there, but for one that is comfortably sit- uated here, it may be pleasing to know that I saw no place to surpass home."

Is it necessary to remove the soil from my carnation benches each year, or will it suffice if I simply renew the old soil, the surface of which is two inches below the top of the bench? S. A. W. If the soil is in good condition and free from insects and other pests, it will answer if the surface is removed and replaced with fresh soil. T. CARNATIONS ON SOLID BEDS. Please let me know whether carna- tions will do as well on solid beds as on raised benches. If they will do as well on solid beds, I can save a consid- erable sum of money by growing them in that way. In the part of Washington state where I am building, there is rock at a depth of two feet and I think it would afford ample drainage. W. H. Whether your carnations will do as well on solid beds as on raised benches will depend altogether on the drainage afforded. If the drainage is good the results will be just as good on solid beds. I would hesitate to put solid beds over either rock or hardpan, where they are so close to the surface, but if all surface water drains away readily there should be no danger from that source. A. F. J. B. HARDT VIENNA CARNATIONS. The Review of July 24, page 34, con- tained an inquiry from M. J. H., under the title of "Hardy Vienna Carna- tions," with a request that some reader of The Review supply the desired in- formation. The inquiry was as follows: "We have planted, in the open ground, about 1,000 hardy Vienna carnations and are anxious to know what results they will give in this country. We also wish to know what protection would be required in winter, in this Nebraska climate. We have planted a few hundreds of these plants in 4-inch pots, and intend to winter them over either in a coldframe or in a cool green- house.\By taking them up and bring- ing themvinto the greenhouse, could we get a crop] for Memorial day?" In reply/to this inquiry, I am pleased to offer such information as I possess. The hardy Vienna carnation belongs to that splendid class of Dianthus Caryo- phyllus flore pleno known as the border carnation, under which heading we also find the Dwarf Prague and that prolific sort, Grenadine, so largely ygrown in Europe. Any of these carnations are supposed to be grown from seed sown in early spring, either indoors or in frames, then transplanted to the field and carried over winter outdoors, where the plants will be a mass of bloom in the following summer. M».jy growers make use of sashes, which, when placed over them, cause the plants to bloom a few weeks earlier. For Nebraska, where the inquirer is located, I would suggest wintering the stock in coldframes and planting out in early spring. The plants can be had in flower by Memorial day if grown on for about two months in a carnation house temperature, but I doubt whether this would pay unless there is a demand for blooming pot plants, as the flowers of the Viennas do not come up to the sorts we make use of nowadays for cut flower purposes, Fritz Bahr.

A. F. J. Baur, Sec 'y. NEW YORK. The Market. Extreme heat, no overabundant sup- ply, most of the roses and carnations arriving of mediocre quality and little demand from retailers sums up the sit- uation for the last week. There is no good reason nor any necessity for open- ing Sundays. The majority hope to win over the few who still delay, at least for the month of August. Almost all of the wholesalers close their stores at 4 p. m. daily. Now as to roses, a few selected American Beauties bring 20 cents and the hundred or so daily of Mrs. Shawyer sell at 12 to 15 cents each. A few of the novelties bring 5 or 6 cents, but of the bulk of the arrivals there is no reasonable quotation possible. There are few carnations that sell at $1 to $1.50 per hundred. Most of them are small and sleepy and sell as low as 25 cents per hundred. Valley holds fairly well. Lilies, in small lots, sold at 4 cents, and in hun- dred lots and over, at 3 cents. There is still an oversupply and many of the ice- boxes are full of them. Orchids devel- oped a better appreciation as the week closed. The supply is likely to be short- ened from now on. A year ago at this date they were nearly double present quotations. Gladioli and asters are now in every window. Only the best of each bring any price worth mentioning. Few of the asters are of any size or value. The flood of gladioli cannot be much longer delayed; in fact, it is a rushing river already. Some fine auratum lilies are seen. Sweet peas are enjoying a rest- ing spell. Nothing is likely to add much life to the market before Sep- tember. Various Notes.

Louis Enne, of Flushing, one of this firm's growers, spent several days last week fishing with Mr. Biedel in Long Island sound, near Port Washington. The representative of The Review called at the new establishment of Wert- heimer Bros, and was really astonished at some of the innovations shown. He was particularly impressed with the beautiful show rooms and the original show-case arrangement for displaying complete lines of merchandise without the slightest handling. The lighting ar- rangements are unsurpassed, natural light being had on all four sides of the building. After going through the es- tablishment, he made a trip to the roof, which is fitted up with shower baths for both ladies and gentlemen. From there a view of the surrounding country stretches out for many miles, with the wooded section of Long Island in the dim distance. Sydney Wertheimer has just returned from Europe. Miss Broder, bookkeeper for Lion & Co., enjoyed her two weeks' vacation in the Catskills. Louis Goodfriend and Elbert O.

OBITUABY. Jacob Cramer. Jacob Cramer, for many years a well- known figure in the trade at Eochester, N. Y., died July 25. He had been in ill-health for some time; recently he was taken to Dr. Lee's hospital and it was there that he died from typhoid- pneumonia. He was 42 years old, and is survived by his wife, his mother and three brothers. Mr. Cramer had an al- most life-long connection with the flo- rists' business. For nearly twenty-five years he worked for J. B. Keller Sons and for another five years he was with Salter Bros. Waterbury, Conn. — A. 8. Nodine, who was operated on for a tumor at Mt.

He is now conducting an up-to-date store of his own two doors below the McVay Seed Co., at 2014 First avenue. Muncle, Ind. — The greenhouses at 1124 South Jefferson street froze up on last winter's tenant and there was prac- tically nothing doing in the way of business until Joseph L. McKinley took it in hand. Mr. McKinley is making ex- tensive improvements and everything is beginning to look fine. He will do business as the Southside Floral Co. G. I, Wunderlin, former grower for the Muncie Floral Co., has taken charge of the growing end. Pierre, S. D. — Fire, fiood and drought in the last eighteen months have been the lot of Herbert D. Enoe, proprietor of the Capitol Greenhouse. The city has provided neither protection against floods nor an ample water supply, and what outside stock was left after last season 's disastrous flood has been killed by the driest June weather the region has known. Mr. Enoe, however, is still courageously keeping up busi- ness, hoping for better times. Olen Bidge, N. J.— Axel N. G.

It is the same room in which he, as a boy. clerked in his grandfather's gro- cery. The greenhouses are being re- moved from Mr. Bock's ground to Mr. Reiser's place south of the city. 18 The Florists' Review Jdly 81, 1913. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW Founded. 1897, by G. L. GRANT.

It is, we believe, a larger supply than any other wholesaler, anywhere, ever had. And our growers are famous for the size and quality of their cuts. We are able to maintain a supply of Beauties in the Chicago market at practically all times, but why not order direct, and let your other needs go for- ward in the same box? FANCY DAISIES Here is a crop of Daisies of unusual quality for this date. It is a seed- lins variety, raised by one of our growers, closely resembling Shasta. A big crop will be cut between now and August 20, which we offer at $1.00 per 100. GLADIOLI Year after year we lead the market on Gladioli— the largest supply of high grade stock. This is stock that it is a pleasure to handle. Plenty of America, Augusta and Mrs. F. King, the three best in their colors. Asters are just starting to come in. We ha?e a fair supply, and it soon will be large. LET YOUR ORDERS CONE. FANCY ROSES Good roses have become so scarce that medium and long stems carrying quality flowers sell on sight, but we aim never to be without some good roses in the ice-box to go out on late shipping orders. Let us know your needs as early in the day as possible, but call on us at short notice if you must. You will find us rose headquarters, now and all summer. Can offer a few Milady that will make a hit, also a fine crop of Radiance. FA N C Y C ATT LEY AS Good Orchids are not abundant in this market just now -^mostly shipped in from the east— but WE have a good crop locally grown that we recommend you to try. These are not only well grown but they are fresh cut and reach you in condition to give the best of satisfaction. If you have been disap- pointed elsewhere it's all the more reason for ordering of Amiing next time. FANCY VALLEY You can depend upon us at all times for valley. If you run short, a wire to Amiing will bring the valley you need. EASTER LILIES We e»n sapply fine Easter Liliea in larg^e quantity every day in the year. A specially good crop now on.

Lauge is vacationing a fortnight at Montague, Mich., on White lake, one of the favorite spots for good bass fish- ing. July 26 a stone sill fell from one of the third story windows of the Atlas block, crashed through the sidewalk in front of Winterson 's Seed Store and sank into the floor of the basement in a spot that E. F. Winterson passes over hundreds of times a day. It would have been sudden death to have stood in its path. D. E. Freres had just passed on the sidewalk. A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling Co., says he thinks Milady is without a rival as a red rose for summer. Wend- land & Keimel are growing it in con- siderable quantity and are just begin- ning to cut a crop. The three Poehlmann brothers, .Tohn, August and Adolph, each have Winton touring cars and will make the trip in them to Minneapolis, with their fam- ilies. C. W. McKellar runs the same make of car and also will tour to the convention. If they go together the four cars will make quite a cavalcade. Clifford Pruner returned July 27 from a trip southwest. He says the prospects for fall trade in that section never were better. George Asmus went to Minneapolis July 27 to spend a few days with John Young on S. A. F. convention business. A new wood ceiling is being put on the brick ceiling in the store of Kenni- cott Bros. Co. A. F. Longren is able to be out after a three weeks ' struggle with carbuncles. Nineteen cores were removed from his neck. A. T. Pyfer and H. E. Philpott have returned from a boat trip to Mackinac.

Clarke, for- merly secretary of and receiver for E. H. Hunt, has been added to the office staff. A. L. Randall came over from Michigan on the boat Friday night and spent July 26 at the store. T. E. Waters has moved the office of the supply department of Poehlmann Bros. Co. to the fourth floor display and stock room at 72 East Randolph street, leaving the second floor office to Otto W. Frese and the cut flower department. Both are nicely situated, with much more room than before. The company cut its first mums. Smith's Advance, July 21, followed a few days later by Golden Glow. Tim Matchen says Mrs. Russell roses are bringing more money, length for length, than can be had for Beauty. Mr. Matchen and wife leave August 3 for a boat trip down the Mississippi and on the way home will call on the trade in several southern cities. Miss Marie Olmert, of C. W. McKel- lar 's staff, left July 27 for a fortnight 's outing at Saugatuck. Martin H.

The Chicago Florists' Club is sched- uled to meet next week, August 7, at San Souci park, on invitation of O. J. Friedman, one of the owners. Maj'or Harrison has announced that he will reai>point Peter Beinberg, whose term as president of the school board is about to expire. Mr. Reinberg some time ago indicated that he would like to retire, so that he could devote his time to the greenhouses and his other interests, but the Mayor says he can not spare him. The office pays no salary. Charles Handel, who was operating the Amelia Schaefer greenhouses under lease at the time they were destroyed by the big wind in September, 1911, is looking for another chance tp start in business. The storm wiped out every dollar he owned. Since then he has worked as a grower, being employed at present by Hoerber Bros., and has saved up enough for another start. He is negotiating for a lease of the Thomas Allen place. In March the Hoskins Floral Co., Chi- cago, was organized with $25,000 capital stock and purchased the greenhouse property of Reid & Chambers, at Elm- hurst, 111., the plan being to add to the glass and grow cut flowers for the Chi- cago market. The incorporators were David J. Hoskins, John W, Harris and Frank Amberg. The company has now made a slight change in its capital through reducing the par value per share from $100 to $25 and increasing the number of shares from 250 to 1000. William Wienhoeber and wife have returned from a visit of five weeks with friends on a ranch in Colorado, which permits E. Wienhoeber to take things a little easier, although he still comes to the store almost every day from hia home at Highland Park. The John C. Moninger Co., which has been adding to its line until now it in- cludes everything needed for the erec- tion of a greenhouse establishment, has taken hold of the Taylor syphon circu- lator, an electrical apparatus for accel- erating the movement of water in the coils.

The hot, dry weather which we had all through July is with us still and all vegetation is in need of rain. "Rain! " is the cry from florist and farmer alike. The growers who have watering systems are fortunate these days, but some of them have not enough water to keep things wet and therefore some of the stock is poor, especially asters and sweet peas. Carnations are holding up well under the hot weather. The demand for roses is extremely light. Killarneys are small, but White Killarneys are much better. Milady is a good summer rose and lasts well. Wards and Tafts are rarely seen nowadays. There are no flowering planie of any kind at present. Boston ferns are scarce. Various Notes. L. D.

Supplies have fallen off in several staples and there is a rather better de- mand for flowers to ship to shore and mountain resorts. This has not led to any rise in values, but clearances are rather better. Eoses are now overplen- tiful for funeral and other needs and are selling at $1 to $4 per hundred. Kaiserin, White Killarney, Carnot, Christie Miller and Dark Pink Killarney are good sellers, in addition to Beauties. The best of the Beauties make $2 to $3 per dozen. Carnations are small; the average price is $1. Asters are a little more plentiful and the price still holds up well. They will soon be abundant enough to effectually fill the carnation gap. Few really good sweet peas are seen; the best make 50 cents per hundred. Lilies are selling tolerably well; so is valley. Gypsophila is in oversupply. Quite a few miscellaneous hardy an- nuals and perennials find an uncertain sale. Of cattleyfts there is a diminished supply, but the demand for these and for gardenias is not robust.

Perfect weather was once more en- joyed by the 500 or more members, their wives, families and friends, who attended the annual picnic of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club at Cunning- ham park, East Milton, July 23. The members of the committee in charge of the arrangements had worked hard, and to them great credit is due for the most enjoyable and successful picnic the club has yet held. The various athletic events, twenty- four in number, excited great interest, as usual, and contests were keen, as many as four heats being needed in some classes. The Private Gardeners easily disposed of the Commercials in the quoits match, but were outclassed in the tug of war; in the baseball game they looked like winning until the last innings. F. E. Palmer played a great game for the losers. The married and single ladies' base- ball game was a thrilling one for the spectatorfl. It soon became evident that hobble skirts, such as the married ladies appeared in, were not quite ideal when No. 228 Palmetto Madison Basketcraft Co.

Business is as good as could be ex- pected for this time of the year, though funeral work is about all that is being done. Gladioli are practically the only flowers on the market and they are sold for all purposes except for corsage bou- quets. Roses have been of better qual- ity lately, being cut from the young stock. Carnations are at an end. As- ters are late in coming into bloom, on account of the hot, dry spell. Outdoor sweet peas are not fit to cut.

The only thing in progress around the shops at the present writing is repair- ing, house-cleaning and taking inven- tory. Koses are overplentiful and the supply of outdoor stock is still with us. Asters, gladioli and Silver Pink snap- dragons hold the prominent space in our market. Various Notes. Geo. Goldbach is cutting some good Lilium rubrum or roseum. It is a beau- tiful pink spotted crimson, of the Jap- anese type. Francis E. Bachler, one of our promi- nent florists, is reported seriously ill and has been bedfast for four weeks. No one is permitted to see him. The Keystone Nurseries are cutting some good asters and gladioli. They also have a few blooming plants in pots, such as hydrangeas, tuberous begonias of the crispa type and gloxinias. Eudolf Nagel made his first cut of asters July 25, about 500 blooms. Katharine E.

The market, as usual at this time of the year, is in anything but a good con- dition. The demand, so the wholesalers say, was light last week, so the retailers must have had a dull week. During the first two weeks in the month a large number of funeral designs were made up. The stock at the different wholesale markets showed that quality is lacking in all that is coming in except gladioli, and these are arriving in great quanti- ties at all the five markets.

The fancy sorts, such as America, Merz, Augusta and Mrs. Francis King, always have ready sale. This seems to be the main flower now at the retail stores for window displays and work of all kinds. Roses are poor in quality and will be for some time. There seems to be plenty of short-stemmed stock to be had, but really fancy grades are out of the question. The same may be said of carnations. Good valley and Easter lilies sell well at any time. Asters are, as yet, not overplentiful. There is a great quantity of outdoor stock being sent in, but there are few calls for it. Asparagus and fancy ferns have had a good demand. Various Notes. Visitors last week included J. Hem- breiker, foreman for Gullett & Sons, Lincoln, 111., and Fred Stuppy, of the Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo. John Himmer, head gardener of the Mosgiel Gardens, at Crescent, Mo., called last week and reported that they are building two new houses, 40x100 and 20x100. When these are completed, they will have 50,000 feet of glass. The place is owned by John T. Milliken and comprises 1,000 acres of land. Fred C.

Baenaed, Chicago, left July 25 for Eagle Eiver, Wis., on a fishing trip. The first consignment of Dutch bulbs reached New York July 22 and consisted of forty cases, consigned to E. F. Lang. N. J. Olsen, of the N. J. Olsen Seed Co., at Moorhead, Minn,, is one of the in- corporators of the Red Eiver Valley Seed House, of the same place, which is capitalized for $100,000, to do a whole- sale and retail seed and produce business. The other incorporators are F. O. Olsen, of Fargo; N. E. Olsen, of Minneapolis, and D. D. Siraonds, of Fargo. Eepresentatives of eleven seed houses, including the managers in several cases, took the short course in seed testing at University Farm, at St. Paul, last week, under the direction of Prof. W. L. Os- wald. They were learning how to comply with the Minnesota pure seed law, as well as getting instruction in the general prin- ciples underlying purity and germination tests. AFwTicles of incorporation have been filed by the J. Charles McCullough Seed Co., of Cincinnati, O., capitalized at $500,000. It is stated that the step is for the purpose of rewarding the em- ployees who have built up the business. Mi. McCullough and the employees will hold the entire issue of stock, and the working force and the officials remain the same as before. The incorporators named are J. Charles McCullough, H. D. Brown, Robert O. Strong, Eichard T. McComas and B. W. Delaney. CORN IN NEBRASKA. Wm. Emerson, manager of the West- ern Seed & Irrigation Co., Fremont, Neb., has just finished tabulating crop reports on corn contracts received be- tween July 15 and 26, representing sixty-eight crops and 2,435 acres of both field and sweet corn. The reports show an average condition of better than ninety-one per cent. These crops cover the following counties, viz.: Dodge, Saunders, Colfax, Platte, Butler, Mer- rick, Boone, Greeley, Pierce, Holt and Lincoln, but only cover the locality adjacent to North Platte in Lincoln county, where the company has about 100 acres of corn. "We understand the condition of the corn crops in the counties adjacent to the above, with the exception of Lincoln county, are in practically as good con- dition," said Mr. Emerson. "Most of the reports state that the corn is in good condition but needs rain, and we are glad to advise we have had good showers covering a large part of the above territory during the last week and we had a heavy shower in this vicinity last night, July 27. We note by the papers that the showers July 26 and 27 covered nearly the entire state of Nebraska, ranging from one-half inch to one inch or more in some locali- ties, which will carry the crops through the tas^eling and pollenizing period. "The vine 8e«a crop reports are also showing fairly well, although some acre- age was lost on account of dry weather and damage from bugs and grasshop- pers. ' ' J. W. EOMUNDSON, Blanagor M. W.

"Hairy vetch seed was collected for the second time in 1912, when fifty- three per cent of the samples were found to be adulterated or misbranded, as compared with sixty-two per cent in the year 1911. Of these samples, seven- teen contained no seed of hairy vetch, but were composed of cultivated forms of spring vetch, while 190 samples con- sisted of mixtures of hairy vetch, spring vetch, and other vetches." The list of 113 firms from whom "adulterated or misbranded" hairy vetch was obtained is a notable- one in that it is made up largely of well known concerns of good repute in the seed trade. In some of the previous lists of the department, published under the same law, the names have been almost wholly unknown, not the names of the seed trade at all, but people who handle seeds as a side line. This time, how- ever, the seed trade is caught. A few of tne names in the list are those of hardware and trading concerns, but the majority are seed houses of recognized standing. The list is sure to result in a revolution in the methods of mer- chandising hairy vetch. SEED GROWN IN IDAHO. A. J. Brown, of the A. J. Brown Seed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., has re- turned from a ten days' trip to the Snake river valley, Idaho, where he has been looking into | ea ciop jiros- pects. "Michigan u.sed to be the great producing state for seed peas," Mr. Brown told a (Irani Rapids reporter, "but in recent yeais climatic conditions have been unfavorable and seed dealers have been forced to seek a new source of supply. They tried Oregon, Califor- nia and Montana without satisfactory results and now they have found what they want in the irrigated belt in south- ern Idaho, with Twin Falls and St. Anthony's as the centers. In the last six years these districts have become the great producing centers for seed peas, wheat, potatoes and alfalfa, and growers are realizing $50 and more an acre from their farms.

AUGUST FOR DOLLARS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ August is the time of sowing for the biggest results from SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON from seed. Seed for the accom- panyiog picture was sown August 18. By sowing at once a full crop can be had at Easter, which will continue until July, being heaviest at Memorial Day, when this picture was taken. We have said that there was nothing in sight but blossoms and dollars, and it is a fact. Silver Pink from seed is easy to grow and anyone can do as well by following directions. Whether you grow Snapdragons from seed or cuttings, they should be timed to flower with as little pinching as possible. Plants produced ahead of time and held back by pinching lose vitality and often throw blind shoots. By sowing seeid now a^d pinching once you will have fine, stocky plants, ready for the bench in November. Our free cultural directions cover all of the necessary points for success with Silver Pink from seed. You will note how successful many of our patrons have been. Oude Bros., Washlogton, D. C, with their six acres of glass and the higrbest class trade in the country, say it is the best they have seen. C. L. Howe, Dover, N. H., with his acres of glass and chain nf stotus. says it is fine and that h-i never had 80 m-iny snapdragon bliwsom'. Mr. J. Uei. .lurgens, for Arthur Cock- croft, Nortbpnit, N. Y., who do<*s an immense wholesale bu-iness. i-ays It Is the only one ti STOW, and that Silver Pink will GO IT ALONE with them this year. Many more strong letters could be given but furth'-r proof is not necessary. These are wide-awake florists who do business for profit. What is profitable and good for the big growers is as good or better for the smaller giower with retail trade, where a steady supply of blossoms Is required. You can cut and cut from a bed of seedling Si'ver Pink and each cut .will make more blossoms. But sow seed at once for best results. Price of seed, $1.00 per pkt.: 3 pkts., !f2.50; 7 pkts., $5.00, by mail. Cash; please. Plants sold out until October. Quite a few shrewd florists are buying the larger amount of seed and will market their surplus plants. G. S. RAMSBURG, Somersworth, N. H. MPntlon Thp RptIpw whpti von write.

Woodruff, secretary and treasurer of F. H. Woodruff & Sons, Milford, Conn., said July 23 that crops not yet harvested had begun to show the ef- fects of the long stretch of dry weather. DUTCH BULBS. In con.sequence of too much wet weather this summer the growers in the bulb district in Holland find tulip-lift- ing has been progressing slowly and the cleaning of bulbs is much delayed by the excessive moisture and the mud adhering to the bulbs. In addition to this, the crop is far from satisfactory, and in many quarters is a poor one. Hyacinths died down fully a week too early, and the crop could not be a good one under such circumstances. The salable bulbs could hardly be in the warehouses before the end of July, so no definite report of the crop has been possible. Crocuses promise a good crop, but the demand is so strong that prices will be maintained. Narcissi promise a fair crop, notwithstanding that they died down ten days earlier than usual.

Will you kindly explain how leaf cuttings of Begonia Glory of Cincin- nati may be successfully rooted? What temperature do they need, and how should they be treated as to watering, etc.? I tried a batch of healthy leaf cuttings, but did not succeed in get- ting any to root; they simply damped off. W. V. L. Leaf cuttings of Begonia Glory of Cincinnati require a steady bottom heat of 75 to 85 degrees. The sand should be sharp and water should pass readily through it. They must not be heavily shaded, but merely shielded from direct sunshine. In heavy shade the leaves are almost sure to rot off. Select well ripened leaves and it is a great advantage to retain not only the whole leaf stalk, but also a little slice of the flowering stem. The leaves can just touch the sand. Watering should be done as soon as the sand shows the least sign of dryness. No direct sun- shine or draught must be allowed to strike the cuttings. I hope you will have better success (in rooting this finest of all winter-flowering begonias another season. C. W. BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cloth be- fore using. Lump lime should always be used in preference to such as has been air- f^laked. If the amount of lime in the Bordeaux is insufficient, there is danger of burning tender leaves. To obviate this, test the mixture with ferro-cyan- ide of potassium, one ounce to six ounces of water. If there is a defi- ciency of lime, a deop, brownish red bolor will be imparted when ferro- cyanide of potassium is added. Add more lime to correct this.

Gage, of Peterson Nursery, Chi- cago, having returned from a vacation in New England, has been at Duluth this v»eek on a business trip. Leaders in the discussions at the July meeting of the Douglas County Horticul- tural Society, which was held at the resi- dence of the president, B. F. Smith, Law- rence, Kan., were A. H. Griesa, A. Whit- comb and C. W. Murphy. Clarence M. Stark, president of the Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., at Louisiana, Mo., who was adjudged insane by the Probate Court of Pike county recently, has asked for a trial by jury, so that he can be restored to his property rights under the law. Mr. Stark 's wealth is estimated at $300,000. The state entomologist of Indiana is investigating a complaint against a man and a woman who are alleged to have defrauded people of Boonville, Ind., out of several hundred dollars by selling them nursery stock other than as repre- sented. Stock represented as Japanese hydrangeas turned out, it is said, to be common maple trees dug out of the woods near the town, and fancy rose stock was found to be wild rose bushes. The same agents are said to have worked this scheme in Owensboro, Ky. The Jewell nursery, at Lake City, Minn., was established in 1868, by Dr. P. A. Jewell and J. M. Underwood. The Jewell Nursery Co., which now operates 1,500 acres, was incorporated in 1884. The management now is as follows : Pres- ident, J. M. Underwood; vice-president, E. A. Smith; treasurer, A. B. Under- wood; secretary, R. D. Underwood; su- perintendent of propagation, John Nor- dine; superintendent of employment, H. U. Beebe; manager of greenhouses, C. G. Nordine; sales auditor, A. H. Wagner; accountant, E. G. Fladwed; wholesale, F. A. Hagen; printer, Albert Hoberson. PROTECTIVE AS8OC3IATI0N. Officers of the American Nursery- men 's Protective Association elected for this year are as follows: President — Henry B. Chase, Hunts- ville, Ala. Vice-president — Irving Rouse, Roch- ester, N. Y. Secretary — Thomas B. Meehan, Dresh- er, Pa. Treasurer — Peter Youngers, Geneva, Neb. THE KANEBE BED BASPBERBT. "A new and distinct variety" is the description given by Hugo Kind, of the Shady Lawn Nursery, Hammonton, N. J., of the Ranere ever-bearing rasp- berry, in a leaflet recently issued by him. It is, says Mr. Kind, of true American origin and, after being grown in New Jersey for the last five or six years, is superseding the other varieties. The hardiness of the plants, their abil- ity to bear a large first crop on any kind of soil and the good quality of the fruit are all features of recommenda- tion. A sworn statement of George W. Swank, of Atlantic county, N. J,, shows net receipts of $526.69 on a crop of which 15,502 pints of berries were sold in 1912, from one and one-quarter acres of plants set in 1909 and 1910. ILLINOIS SOCIETY MEETS. The Illinois State Horticultural So- ciety held its summer meeting at Anna, 111., July 30 and 31. Important discussions occupied the mornings and afternoons, and the evenings were given over to entertainment, provided by the Commercial Club of Anna. W. S. Perrine, Centralia; J. W. Lloyd, Champaign; J. C. B. Heaton, New Burnside, and R. A. Simpson, Vin- cennes, Ind., were leaders of discus- sions on important subjects. The officers of the society are: Presi- dent, J. Mack Tanner, Springfield; vice-president, E. J. Baxter, Nauvoo; secretary, A. M. Augustine, Normal, and treasurer, J. W. Staunton, Rich- view. IDAHO NUBSEEYMEN MEET. The annual convention of the Idaho State Nursery Association was held at Payette, July 22, convening at 10 a. m. The program for the meeting included the discussion of some im- portant matters and was as follows: Annual Report of the President, Charles T. Hawkes, Caldwell. Report of the Convention of the National Association of Nurserymen, E. F. Stevens, Nampa. "Survey of the Nursery Conditions of the Northwest," Albert Brownell, Portland, Ore. "Nursery Inspection," J. U. McPherson, state horticultural Inspector, Boise. "Orchard Planting not Overdone, or Good (Quality Orchards vs. Poor Orchards," J. F. Littooy, Boise. "Need of a National and State Law to Regulate Quality and Grading of Nursery Stock," J. A. Waters, Twin Falls. "Problems in the Nursery Business," H. G. Monce, Nampa. "Causes for Loss in the Nursery Business In 1912," George Fenton, Emmett. "Efllclency Methods In the Nursery Busi- ness," Carl E. Wright, Kimberly. "Growing Ornamental Nursery Stock in Idaho," Anton Diedrichsen, Payette. "Nursery Stock Should Not be Replaced to the Planter," George W. Fonner, Payette. THESE ABE EXCLUDED. C. L. Marlatt, chairman of the Fed- eral Horticultural Board, has issued a circular in which "you are respectfully advised that the following list enumer- ates the five-leaved pines included in Notice of Quarantine No. 7, effective May 21, 1913. None of the species list- ed nor any horticultural varieties of the same may be imported." Pinus: albicauUs arlstata ayacahulte balfouriana bonapartea cembra excelsa flexilis koraiensis lambertiana maDdsctaurica montlcola parviflora pentaphylla peuce pygmaea strobiformis strobus ALABAMA INSPECTION BEGUN. Prof. James C. C. Price, of Auburn, who has recently been appointed act- ing state horticulturist, with G. V. Stelzenmuller and B, E. Evans, deputy nursery inspectors, is beginning the an- nual tour of the state for the inspec- tion of nurseries. Prof. Price and his assistants will go. first to Huntsville for the inspec- tion of eight nurseries in that vicinity, two of which include more than 1,000 acres in nursery stock each. The Bir- mingham district will be covered, and from there they will work Fayette, Cullman, Steretts, Vandiver and other points in the northern part of the state where there are nursery plants. SHBUB CUTTINGS. In answer to B. T. W. about propa- gating shrubs you do not say whether the leaves should be removed from the cuttings or not. Please tell us. V. R. F. In propagating such deciduous shrubs as lilacs, viburnums, hydrangeas and others with large leaves, a large part of, but not all the leaf, should be cut away. In the case of deutzias, spi- raeas, loniceras, philadelphus and other small-foliaged sorts this is not neces- sary. C. W. PBOPAGATION OF SHBUBBEBT. Will you please tell me what hardy shrubs are considered easy to root from soft or partly ripened cuttings? We are growing a number at present that we have never propagated in this manner and we wish to root all the varieties at once that can be readily handled. F. B. Use partly ripened wood; soft wood will usually rot. A close frame with a gentle bottom heat is suitable for prop- agating purposes. The sashes must be shaded and the cuttings sprayed lightly but frequently for some weeks. Some of the lilacs are more difficult to root than others. The following deciduous shrubs will root from partly ripened wood: Vibur- num moUe, V. Opulus, V. dentatum, V. plicatum, V. tomentosum, V. Lentago, V. cassinoides; weigelas, all varieties; Symphoricarpos racemosus; privets, all varieties; Lonicera Morrowi, L. Bu- prechtiana, L. Tatarica; sambucus, all varieties; Spiraea Thunbergii, S. ai^ta, S. Van Houttei, S. prunifolia, S. The Sensational Rose of the Season NEW H. T.

The last two weeks were typical of the summer season, with most of the flower buyers away on vacation and lit- tle doing except in funeral designs. Car- nations are a thing of the past till the new crop comes in. The growers most- ly benched their stock early or did not set it in the field at all, and as a result, the plants are well advanced and a crop could be secured on short notice if de- sired. There is a growing tendency here to put the plants in early and de- velop as strong a plant as possible be- fore allowing any blooms to mature. The results claimed are longer stems ami larger flowers. About all of the mums are planted; they are doing well and the prospects are good for a crop of the early varieties. The roses have been all cut back except a few Killar- neys and Kaiserins that are reserved for summer flowers. Bichmonds are also good sellers in the summer and there is a pretty good supply of them at present. Beauties are scarce, but there is so lit- tle demand that no one feels the short- age seriously. Valley is in pretty good supply and sells well. Lilies are plenti- ful enough, but there is little surplus. Prices are keeping up well on nearly all stock, partly on account of the fact that outdoor flowers were almost a failure this summer. Peas, especially, were all* but a failure; they are a thing of the past, except as thev are shipped in. Those who grow vegetables and are prepared to irrigate their crops are reap- ing a good harvest this season, as there has been little competition from the growers who have no water. Various Notes. llaury & Sons say that they are doing a normal amount of business for the season. They have some excellent glox- inias, which sell well. It is reported that they are planning to enlarge their plant soon. At the Hillerest School Farm the crops are likely to be seriously injured if rain does not come. Bain within a week would, however, save most things from serious damage. Their new house will be finished this week, if all goes well. Their cannas are looking well, especially the King Humberts, of which they have about an acre. The dahlias are not doing so well, as the drought and heat affect them more. Borne are already dead. .Toe Brown did not go to Colorado, as ORCHIDS E^sh Importations, ready for Immediate delivery.

This certainly is about the slackest part of the season yet experienced. There is a little im- provement in the shipments of roses re- ceived here daily, but the warm weather opens them quickly and renders them unfit for sale. Killarney, White Kil- larney and Melody seem to suffer more than the rest. Milady roses arrive in good condition and sell quite well. There is a steady demand for a good red rose and Milady seems to be taken in preference to the rest. Gladioli are getting plentiful, but there is a scarcity of good sweet peas, owing probably to the dry season. There are some good white asters, which are found useful now that carnations are poor and scarce. The stores are showing some pretty gloxinias. Hardy hydrangeas are plentiful and, with a few bulbous begonias, are about all the flowering plants in blossom just now. Maidenhair, Sprengeri and Asparagus plumosus are plentiful, as well as other green stock. Various Notes. The children's playground committee has asked through the city newspapers for contributions of flowers each Friday for distribution among the children of the poor families who are unable to buy them. It is said that the children hang on to the flowers until the last petal drops, and it not only stimulates the love of flowers, but in many cases helps cheer those who are sick. It is hoped that our Rochester florists will contrib- ute as often as possible. Usually there is a large quantity of flowers which can be picked over and disposed of in this way. Miss Keuter, of H. P. Neun, has been spending the greater part of her vaca- tion at Hilton, N. Y. Horace J. Head, of H. E. Wilson, has been taking a few days' rest at White City, Irondequoit, N. Y. Hugo Teute is bringing some fine America gladioli into the market, which sell rapidly. George T. Boucher has just placed a new ice-box in his store. The flowers are visible from all four sides. There are mirrors at the back, plate glass shelves and compartments at top and bottom for ferns and for other uses. It is of local make. Mr. Boucher com- mences his vacation July 28. With his wife and family he will spend most of the time at Conesus lake. Jacob Thomann & Sons are shipping some extra fine Rochester White gla- dioli. Seasonable Stock Buy Palms and Araucarias now.

After a light lunch a regular meetiug of the Detroit Florists' Club will be held In the early evening. .lust tack this where it will not l>e forgotten, and remember "All work and no play makes Jack D dull boy;" so come along and have a good time. There were eighty in the party. The retailers won a closely contested game, by a score of 9 to 8. Umpire M. Bloy's decisions created much excitement in the grandstand and several empty gin- ger ale bottles were seen cutting capers in the air pretty close to the umpire 's head. E. A. Scribner, J. F. Sullivan, Philip Breitmeyer, Harry Smith and others participated in a game of quoits. Thomas Browne 's field of 120,000 car- nation plants was said by many to be the finest field of carnations ever seen. Thousands of plants of Philadelphia were seen in the pink of condition. Mr. Browne 's mums are also looking fine. During the hour of twilight and while waiting for the call to lunch, some of the younger members put on boxing gloves and the bout between John Ber- lin and Herman Klagge, Jr., created much amusement. One long table was set to accommo- date the whole party and I doubt whether any of us ever had a more en- joyable meal. The sun had just hid be- hind the fields; there was just enough wind to cool the air and there were plenty of good things to eat. President Stock called upon J. F. Sullivan to act as chairman, and among those called upon foT* a few remarks were Philip Breitmeyer, Michael Bloy, Frank Dan- zer, Albert Pochelon, Robert Rahaley, Thomas Browne, E. A. Scribner, Norman Sullivan, J. A. Bissinger, of Lansing, POINSETTIAS We bare reduced the propagation of this plant to a science. We root them as sure as you do a coleus cutting, and in large quantitF.

"Undoubtedly, the center of interest at the minute is smokeless coal," says the Black Diamond's Chicago letter. "That situation has been tight all sum- mer, and promises now to grow tighter. At least the coal men are showing a de- cided interest in its future. Summed up, the situation is about as follows: The amount of contracting in Chicago is not up to what it was last year, and shipments to the spot market have been considerably less. As a consequence, Chicago has not the same amount of smokeless on hand it had last year, but, on the contrary, it has less. The flat- building trade, which is growing all the time, has been buying more and has been taking in its coal early. That makes in Chicago and the west a bigger market for coal than ever before. It can be said truly that the supply is less than the demand. This is dictating a circular price of $1.40 on the nrinc-rnn coal, with premiums on some spot, stuff running $1.50 or even up to $1.60 in rare instances. Lake shipments in ton- nage are about what they were last year, but as compared with the buying Toiophona Control 14 Mines on B. & 0. R. R. Kotabllohod 1S87 Kelly, W.

This indicates a good, steady market for the next two or three months, at least, or until the car short- age scare is over. What the situation will be after that remains a baffling mystery. The best guessers on the mar- ket express the belief that the weather alone will determine both supply and price. ' ' '_ BOILEBS aOINO TO ENGLAND. Since American methods of green- house construction have been adopted in Europe a great deal of American green- house equipment has been exported, especially ventilating apparatus. At Chicago two boilers are under construc- tion at the works of the Kroeschell Bros. Co., to go to England to be used in the new central hot water heating system of forced circulation for Lowe & Shawyer, Uxbridge, Middlesex. Each boiler measures sixty inches in width, fifty inches in height, and sixteen feet in length. The boilers will be built com- plete at the Kroeschell factory and will be loaded on freight cars which can be placed alongside the ocean steamer. The shipping weight of these No. 14 boilers is in the neighborhood of 14,000 pounds each iand it will be interesting to note that the freight from Chicago to London is less than the freight from Chicago to the Pacific coast. The capacity is 12,000 lineal feet of 4-inch pipe, in addition to the mains, or five and one-quarter miles of 1^-inch pipe for hot water heating. QBEENHOUSE AND HOTBED. I have built a greenhouse 20x55 and about eleven feet to the ridge, and have run a 3-inch main up to the ridge, branching off with two 2-inch returns down from the ridge to return coils of seven 1%-inch pipes on the south side, which also run across the west end and btusk to the boiler. Besides these, there are seven l^-inch returns on the north side, running back to the boiler. Jl'i.v 31, 1013. The Florists' Review 79 YOU COULD COMMAND THife -SUN !

The simplest way to heat the hotbed will be to take oflf a l^/^-inch flow pipe from the end of the 3-inoh main and with this supply two l^ii-inch returns. The main return from the houses should have been 3-inch, the same as the flow, and if a 2-inch was used it will be bet- ter to connect the return from the hot- bed at the boiler or as near it as pos- sible. STEAM FOB ONE BOSE HOUSE. I should like to know how many feet of 1%-inch pipe will be required to heat a rose house, 20x100, with steam. The house is eleven and one-half feet high to the ridge and has two glass gables. The side walls are five and one-half feet high and the south wall contains two and one-half feet of glass. I intend to feed half of the coils at each end, to keep an even temperature. What size of flow will be required? Will it be better to have the pipes under the benches, for roses, or on the walls? The lowest outside temperature in this part of Minnesota is 35 to 40 degrees below zero. C. B. With outside temperatures but little if any below zero, a rose house can be heated by one square foot of steam radiation for six square feet of glass, but under the severe conditions men- tioned it will be safer to use one square foot of radiating surface to four square feet of glass. If a 2 1^ -inch feed pipe is carried about three feet below the ridge to the farther end of the house, it will be possible to secure an even tem- perature without going to the trouble of connecting one-half of the pipes at one end of the house and the other half at the other end. In addition to the main, about four- teen 114-inch pipes will be required to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees when the outside temperature is 35 to 40 degrees below zero. About three of the returns should be on each of the walls and the others can be distributed under the benches. SPBINOFIELD, O. A Dissolution of Partnership. As the plant of the Femcliflf Floral Co., opposite the lower entrance to Fern- cliff cemetery, has been taken over by the city for park purposes under con- demnation proceedings, the two mem- bers of this partnership, Messrs. Beth- ard and Finfrock, will engage in busi- ness separately for the future. C. Pearl Bethard will conduct a gen- eral florists' business in the houses on West Mulberry street which he pur- chased from Charles W. Unglaub some time ago. Mr. Bethard conducts a regu- lar stand in the city market house. A. S. Finfrock has wisely secured four city lots, each approximately 40x 240, on McCreight avenue, immediately adjoining the northeast corner of Fern- cliff cemetery — land which might well have been secured by the cemetery to square out its area to Plum street, which it reaches along its lower portion. Two greenhouses, each 26x100, are in course of construction, together with a conservatory 15x17, attached to a shed of two stories and basement, which will serve on its several floors as boiler eel- FLORISTS WHO KNOW ALL THE 0000 POINTS OF THE KROESCHELL BOILER NEVER FOR A MOMENT CONSIOER ANY OTHER KIND The Kroeschell is making the most wonderful grtenhouce heaiinff record in the world. Florists who have used other makes are constantly givlDtr the Kroeschell the highest praise. 10,788.000 sq.ft. of glass was equipped with the Kroeschell Boiler during the past five years. The Kroeschell has replaced hundreds of cast iroa boilers. In every case higher tem- peratures are secured with the Kroeschell with the same piping and with less fuel. The Kroeschell is sold direct from factory to users. This eliminates the unneces»ary mid- dleman's profit.

Read what others say who have used different kinds : Kroeschell Replaces 4 Cast Iron Boilers Previous to 190<>. Mr. Schultz, of Menominee. Mich., heated his entire plant with cast iron boilers. It had been claimed that cast iron boilers are superior to the Kroeschell. Mr. Schults is now heating 18.000 sq. ft. of glacs with the Kroeschell which was inttalled in 1909. and they are required to fire same only twice a night. The foMoHiog letter speaks for itself: "We do not have the \etuit trouble to maintain about 60 degrees in the coldest weather. Your KroeHrhell Boiler is the best I ever bad. Before I heard about your boiler I had four cast iron Itoilers, and I would not part with the Kroeschell for a hundred cast Iron boilers now." (Signed) CHARLES 8CHCLTZ. July 31, 19I3, Menominee, MIrh. Kroeschell Replaces 2 Cast Iron Boilers The Marjsville Floral Co., of Marysville. O.. installed a No. 4 Kroe- schell Boiler in VMS. Previous to this time they used cast iron boilers. The following letter speaks for itself: "Has the KroescheU given entire satlsfaetlon? YES! We had two east iron boilers, but yours proved by far the best. Your boiler bas already outlasted the two cast iron boilers by live years, and all the expense that we have been put to was a smoke dome." (Signed) MARYSVILLE FLORAL CO. July 21, 1913, Marysville, O. Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron The range of C. Peterson i\; Son. at Escanaba, Mich., was formerly heated by cast iron boilers. Last season this firm install- d their first Kroeschell, a No. 6. which is now heating 13.000 to H.OOO sq. ft. of glass. They state that they fire these boilers three to four times dur. ing the night in zero weather. I nder date of June 28, 1913, they write as follows: "The Kroeschell Boiler has Riven better satlsfa^'tion than any other boiler we have ever had.

McCreight avenue affords the only means of reach- ing the cemetery gate by car line and also by automobiles, which are not peri mitted to pass in or out at the lower entrance, the latter being reserved for funeral uses only. It will be apparent, therefore, that this location will natu- rally catch the bulk of the transient trade of cemetery visitors. Mr. Fin- frock will be sole proprietor, and as soon as the affairs of the Ferncliff Flo- ral Co. are fully wound up he will prob- ably do business as Finfrock, the Fern- cliff Florist. Various Notes. The combination pipe, tile and con- crete idea adopted by the Leedle Floral Co. for gutter posts and ridge posts has proved so satisfactory that the same method has been followed in the con- struction of the bench legs, for which lighter pipe and only 3-inch tile are necessary. The common red drain tile is found to "knit" to the concrete fill- ing admirably, and after a brush coat on the surface it has become a compo- nent part of each post and leg. Rein- forced concrete is being used for the front boards and rear boards of the benches, the material tapering from an iBch and an eighth at the top to an inch and a half at the ledge, on which the bottom boards of pecky cypress will rest crosswise of the bench, while the string- er which forms the ledge is approxi- mately 2x3 inches. The forms are set up in 154-foot lengths and an entire length is poured at once, the concrete filling around the top of pipe and with- in the top of tile, thus making all prac- tically monolithic as well as thoroughly rot-proof, rust-proof and sag-proof. From various causes, the Springfield Florists' Club lacked a quorum for its regular July meeting, the vacation sea- son seeming to affect the attendance, but the appointment of the usual com- mittee for the nomination of officers should inject some animation into the August meeting.

The Market. Trade is quiet, with a meager supply of stock. Carnations are about over and what few are on the market are of such poor quality that scarcely half of the stack can be used. Boses are still holding their own, but it is a hard mat- ter to keep them from one day to the next, as the warm weather makes them open quickly and Killarneys are of lit- tle account when full-blown. There are a fiBW calls for Beauties, but the supply is extremely limited. Lilies are really the most satisfactory flower at present; there has been a good supply of them on the market and they are always used up clean. Sweet peas are suffering from the extreme changes in the weather and they have been poor for the last week, with little prospect of their getting any better, as the weather is hot again. There has been consider- able valley on the market and it has been used up clean. Gladioli have made their appearance and are much in de- mand, as they make a good showing. Only a few asters are to be seen and it will be several days before there will be any great quantity, but they will cer- tainly be welcomed, as there is seldom so little stock on the market. Florists' Outing. The florists' outing at Buckeye lake, July 23, was a success and a good crowd attended. The majority went on the early cars, but, as the tickets were good on any car, some went out rather late in the day, and they all report a good time. There were no games of any kind, but they all took to the water, some fish- ing, others boating or bathing, and later in the day there was a good crowd on the dance floor. J. M. Hutchinson, Kan. — Kline Bros, have rented a part of the front lobby of the new Korabaugh-Wiley building, where they will install a florists' shop.

The Gateway to the South. The market is again well supplied with seasonable flowers and, as a result, prices have declined considerably. The demand has kept up steadily, but has not kept pace with the increased supply. Some excellent stock is coming into the wholesale houses. The larger part of the offerings in gladioli are of good quality and meet with a fair sale. The rose cut, too, continues to increase. The larger part of the receipts are short- stemmed, but the stock is generally nice and clean. Besides the general line of roses, there are limited quantities of Maman Cochet. The Easter lily supply is larger than it was, but it still is on the short side. The receipts have been cleaning up on sight. Some fine aura- turns are proving good property. The number of rubrum, speciosum, and the like, is limited. Pond lilies meet with a fair request. The aster supply still is limited and is made up mostly of Queen of the Market. The few really choice blooms that arrive find a good market. Various Notes. E. A. Forter has been spending the last fortnight in Chicago. He was ex- pected to return the first part of this week.

The Florists' Review ^X X x^ '■■: i' <'•■■"'.-■ '' ':■''■■ i ' . ./ TANKS1T0WER8 Again it is Cypress, without so much as the suggestions of a substitute. Who ever heard of a really- good tank made of other wood than Cypress? Every SOUND OLD tank is of Cypress; if it had been made of other wood than Cypress, it would probably be a KOTTEN OLD tank by now. Notice the catalogues of the leading tank builders. We do not know of an exception to the rule made long ago by the best of them — "Cypress makes the best and most enduring of tanks." And for TANK TO WEES — they don't need to be of steel. Cypress towers carry their loads after your children's children are gray of hair and whisker. Certainly the Cypress tower looks better than the steel — and it does the business. Don't let anybody fool you about the Cypress tower — it is a "tower of strength" and a tower of endurance. LAY IN SOME BOOKS You can't improve on the CYPRESS Pocket Library. The 37 volumes are interesting and authorita- tive.

The Fidrists**!Rcview 3 YOU CAN MAKE MOINEY ON YOUR SUMMER BUSINESS Many dealers think it is not possible to make money in the sum- mer—too much loss of stock. But this is not necessary. A lot of stores ARE making: money this summer and YOU CAN too. It all lies in the way of getting the stock-in the manner it is received and the quality. Roses direct from a big grower— fresh-absolutely fresh— and hand= led but once— not two or three times, and that, often carelessly. Cut in tight bud twice a day by expert growers, assorted by care= ful girls and thoroughly cooled in a large room at a temperature of 45 degrees. Most careful packing by experienced girls, and everything shipped out the same day they are cut. That way of handling, and American Beauties are the secret of Summer suc= cess in the flower business. You can keep Beauties longer after you receive them than any other variety. They ship better than any other roses, and at the prices you get them here you can sell them at one, two and three dollars a dozen, and make a good profit. We have all the other kinds, too, and as good as possible to have them in such hot weather. Notice our low price list Cut it out for reference.

The Florists^ Rcvkw DOG DAY DOINGS ■ , OF THE SHOW WINDOW ARTISTS How the enterprising Decorators are halting the crowds by using the suggestions in The Review's article of July 3 ^^^^VIAYE you noticed the fre- with a small ice-cap, under the edge of rock on the waves caused by the w AVE you noticed the fre- quent items in the news- letters the last two or three weeks about how the enter- prising decorators are flag- ging the perspiring pedes- trians by initting in special summer windows ? It all came about because of the arti- cle, "Cool Windows for Hot Weather," in" The Review for July 3. It set the quick wits and nimble fingers working. The article showed pictures of some cool windows, and told how others might be devised, but the special value of such matter in a trade paper is not so much in what the writer says as in his capacity for set- ting his readers to thinking — and acting on their thoughts. That the window article was one of the most suc- cessful ever published in The Review, almost as successful as the Mother's day and St. Valentine's day arti- cles, is shown by tlii' fact that special water and mechanical-toy displays have been holding big crowds in front' of fiower store windows all over the country the last few weeks. It set the deco- rators thinking — and with the average flo- rist to think is to act. Value Proven Now. If there over was any doubt about the value of special sea- sonable window deco- rations, especially in the off season, all doubt has been dispelled by the crowds that have stood in front of these windows the last few weeks. It has been demonstrated that at this time of year the retailer's window may exert a drawing power as great as in any other" season. A dis- play that gives the idea of coolness is sure to attract a crowd. People are searching for a cool spot, and if they can not find one to get into them- selves, they will stop and watch one in a disjday window. This is the thing to be l)orne in mind when one is dec- orating a window at this season. Of course water is the greatest help in producing a cool effect, lee does not last long enough to be worth while, and reproductions of icy scenery are rarely successful. A scheme well worth while, however, is to make the moun- tain, so often used in summer displays, with a small ice-cap, under the edge of which issues a small stream of water. ]f this is well designed and the repre- sentation of ice is a good one, it will often keep the spectators wondering if it is really a piece of melting ice that is the source of the stream. Uses of Bunning Water. On the brooks and rivulets, then, we must depend a great deal. These can be run through the miniature land- scapes in .small gutters, which are well hidden by moss, soil or gravel. The mill wheel often is used in connection with the stream, but it never fails to attract attention and interest. Better GnP88 nhirh window has the runnlnK water, the dncklliiKi and the nierhanlral toys and which window has the conimonplaee Taite of asters anionic the ferns. still, and not so difficult as it appears, is a miniature cascade or waterfall. If the water is contrived so as to fall over a ledge of glass, splendid effects can be made at night by the use of colored lights back of the glass and shining through the falling water. A great deal of the effect at night of the window- shown in the illustration on page 11, which was the outcome of a Kansas City florist's reading the article of July '3, is in the electric lighting of the min- iature buildings and of the signs. Small fountains are always a source of delight and are easy to set up. iSat- urally, a small pond is used to catch the falling spray and this small body of water may be made the basis of more novelties. Toy ships, either in distress or stanchly braving the rollers, may rock on the waves caused by the water falling into the lake from a fountain or a waterfall. The pond may also serve as the home of a dozen or so ducklings, which never fail to draw their full share of attention. Living Creatures Always Draw. The drawing qualities of the duck- lings, which rank high on account of their acrobatic performances in the water, suggest another feature that is often used in summer displays and sel- dom without success. This is life in its various forms. Turtles, crabs and the like draw crowds when they are simply gathered in a tank in a butch- er's window. How much more attractive should they be when used in a flower store window where there is the additional aid of a scenic display? A sandy beach with a baby alligator basking thereon suggests the seashore, and in north- ern states the rareness of the animal makes it the greater novelty. Goldfish, or tiny fish; of any kind serve the purpose, although the! former are so common nowadays that theyi have lost greatly in; drawing power. Frogs ani* toads arc rarely| speiT in windows, but| small ones could be! used to a quite decided' advantage^- the largei' ones might prove dis- 'astrous to some of the scenic arrangements, if they started to travel strenuously. Occasion- ally the baby animals of wild species of small size are seen in window displays, but they are the exception and hard to get. Toys Are of Advantage. The value of mechanical toys in dec- orations of this kind is becoming more generally recognized. For instance, the window in the illustration on page 11 shows several in one display. These in- clude an automobile, camels, goats and a fisherman. The effigy fishing in the lake in the foreground is easily distin- guishable by his pole. Says an admirer of this window, "The cleverest feature in this display is the little old man who sits on the bank of the lake from morning till night, only to amuse the passing crowd with jerking his pole and throwing it high in the air, for he fishes 8 The Florists' Review Aicrsi 7. r-'1-"> THE LARGEST STOCK OF FLORISTS' SUPPLIES I- 1 IN AMERICA Will be rei»resi'Qted at the MINNEAPOLIS CONVENTION.

Business keeps up well at the Los Lngeles Flower Market and the counters Lre cleaned up daily. C. E. Morton has ^ad a painful siege with a refractory )oth, but kept at his post and the worst leems to be over. Thomas Windram, of Cold Springs, [y., has been here investigating the As- t>aragus. plumosus seed industry, espe- cially at the Meserve ranch, at Signal Till, the output of which is handled by [he Los Angeles Flower Market. Wm. lurphy, of Cincinnati, accompanied Mr. /indram. T. W. Chisholm, of the Braslan Seed 3o., was a visitor this week. He reports jusiness good. J. R. Fotheringham has been making lis usual calls on the trade here. He is unusually late, but he says he will itill be back in plenty of time for the Convention. Fred Westrom, of Wright's Flower ihop, and Howard Turner, son of H. Turner, of Montebello, leave here the irst part of August for a trip to Balboa. Mrs. Tomlinson, widow of the late jark superintendent of the city, died of leart failure July 30, after an illness of couple of weeks. *The sympathy of sveryone is with the bereaved family, ^specially the Misses Tomlinson, who ^ere both quite devoted to their lother and who did all in their power [o alleviate her suffering at the last. The subject of a florists' club for this Jity has again been raised. Almost bveryone in the business is desirous of Itarting, the leader only being lacking. here is an unfortunate condition of things existing here. When the florists Vave attended the meetings of the Horti- cultural Society, they have felt out of }lace, while at the recent meeting to "^hich they were specially invited, the deception given them was anything but cordial, although the fault was not that )f the members of the society. While, jersonally, I should have preferred a inion of the two societies, working for khe general good of the business, if the factions cannot be joined, then there Is surely need for a live, up-tOfdate Horists' club. Howard & Smith are keeping up a fine »how at their store at Ninth and Olive Streets. Some good tritomas, in all the lost brilliant colors, from the Monte- jollo nurseries are extra good. Business ceeps up well here and an additional lelivery car is to be put on this season. ■ Henri Nonin, of the Establissement <1 'Horticulture, C h a t i 1 1 o n-Sous-Bag- fieux, France, and H.

Hawthorne, representing Pat- terson & Co., seedsmen, of Kearney, Neb., has been in the eity on a visit. Mr. Hawthorne has been making a trip to regain his strength after an opera- tion. Tom Wright leaves here August 10 for the Minneapolis convention and Chicago, where he will demonstrate the new alarm he is turning out. He ex- pects to stay long enough in Chicago to get a good rating from the underwriters in insurance. The H. N. Gage Co. intends to force about 200,000 Dutch and other bulbs this year. Clarence Aldrich, lately with the El Beah Nursery, at Hollywood, is now with this company. H. B. Bichards. OOQUTPLAM, B. 0. Annual Flower Show. The annual flower show here was held July 24 and was a great success. The people of the vicinity are making this affair a regular holiday and everybody turned out. The new Agricultural hall is a splendid place for showing flowers, but one can safely predict that the building will be too small if the in- terest keeps up as at present. A band was in attendance. The boy scouts had the time of their lives in the tug of war, etc. There was a splendid suffragette football game, which caused plenty of amusement. Last, but not least, there was the baseball game be- tween representatives of the south and the north part of town— a splendid affair, in which some 200-to-290-pound- ers showed their ability in slugging and running. Coming to the show itself, it is sur- prising what people can do when every- body helps. Sweet peas, of course, were the main feature, but the fancy bas- kets of roses, wild flowers, etc., were also centers of interest. The main contribution to the show, however, was the exhibit of cut flowers from the Provincial Nurseries, where Chr. Van Aken is manager. A big table and also some space at the end of the hall, against the wall, were reserved for this exhibit. A large Merry Widow hat, also from the nurseries, was a credit to its maker and took the fancy of the ladies. It was made of Spencer sweet peas and the colors were splendidly blended. The hat was finally raffled by the Agricultural Society and the pro- ceeds went to the Ladies' Institute. The city of Coquitlam is giving this year $500 for the best kept gardens, the sum to be divided into several prizes, from $150 down— a sign that the extreme west can keep up its end about as well as the more thickly populated parts of the east. p.

With hardly any stock arriving and with scarcely anybody to buy, the mar- ket is not in a flourishing condition. The florists' own greenhouses produce really more than their stores can con- sume and little or no business is carried on at the wholesale house except with those who have no greenhouses and who rely wholly on the commission house for their stock. A personal canvass of the stores finds everything quiet except for the occasional rush in funeral work. Bain holds off and the aster plants, etc., are suffering much for lack of it. The outdoor sweet peas are extremely poor and will soon be through blooming for this season. Asters are coming, but are scarce; they, too, seem to be ex- ceedingly late this year. Most varieties of roses are inferior and many are un- salable. Valley is plentiful, but does not keep at all well during this hot weather. Gladioli, too, are plentiful, but the prices are low; first-class stock makes $1.50 to $2 per dozen. White and lavender candytuft is good, and it is noticed that a good many florists use this along with roses, arranged prettily in small baskets, which retail for $1 and up. Japanese and auratum lilies are on the market and are used profusely for design work. There is an abundance of greens of all kinds. Various Notes. It is a noticeable fact that the Rochester undertakers are using mag- nolia wreaths during this hot weather, in preference to galax wreaths, which quickly curl and become untidy looking. Among the visitors last week were Julius Berg, of Lion & Co., New York city, and Edwin C. Armbrust, of Thos. Aitken, Springfield, Mass., and formerly of J. B. Keller Sons, in this city. Mr. Berg says business was never better. Miss Duklo is away on vacation at Highland Cottage. H. E. Bates, of the Lord & Burnham Co., has been on a business trip, extend- ing over two weeks, to Pittsburgh, Pa. He reports among his sales a house for the E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., at the store, where the firm intends to have an up-to-datB palm garden, and another house, 25x200, at Ludwig Station. He also received an order from Dickson & Bailey, Martins Ferry, O., for a green- house 20x100, in which they intend to grow vegetables; from Mrs. Henry Strong, of this city, for a conservatory 12x34, and from W. N. Hayes, of The Willows, on East avenue, for a con- servatory 10x20. Geo. B. Hart will soon commence to erect a $25,000 building at the corner of Ely and Stone streets, to be used as a commission house, and two stores with lofts above. Mr. Hart has bought a new five-passenger Stevens-Duryea. He is now spending a few davs at Manitou Beach. ' H. J. H. 7000 CHRYSOLORA in 2^-inch pots, at $25.00.

The Florists' Review 67 GERANIUMS MARYLAND Ever since we have been in the Geranium business we have ondeavoiod to And a novelty on which we could stake our repu- tation. In this endeavor we have raised hundreds of seed- lings ourselves and discarded innumerable very promising seed- lings offered by others as not possessing the quality we desired should be in our first novelty. Several years ago we placed in the hands of an expert hybridizer certain stock from which we believed the desired results could be obtained, with instruc- tions that he was to spare neither time nor expense to produce a variety that would embrace as far as possible all that was required in a Geranium— color, healthfulnoss, habit of growth and freedom of bloom ; and we have no hesitation in claiming that these qualities are all found in our novelty of 1914, the •Maryland." The "Maryland" Is the result of a cross between Alph. RIcard and LaPIlote. In habit of growth it resembles the LaPilott', only much stronger, being more robust, vigorous and branching. The foliage is handsomely marked with a chocolate zone. The individual flowers are magnlflcent, semi-double, per- fectly formed and of grand texture, being profusely produced in enormous trusses. The color is of the most Intense, dazzling fiery rod, of such marvelous beauty that words are Inadequate to accurately describe its wonderful coloring and the exquisite finish of the plant. "Maryland" is a variety that we Introduce to the florist and the great mass of flower lovers with every confidence that it will, with its most pleasing habit and strong constitution, prove satisfactory in every way, and meet every requirement of a first-class Geranium. Ready Jan. 1, 1914, 50 cts. each ; ?5.00 per doz. SCARLET BEDDER In "Scarlet Bedder," Introduced by Elmer D. Smith, of Adrian, Mich., In 1913, we have an Ideal Scarlet Geranium in every sense of the word. It is an Intermediate color between S. A. Nutt and Alph. RIcard but being brighter or approach- ing nearer to Scarlet than either of these. It Is a short, stocky, sturdy grower, making flower stalks at almost every Joint ; it is necessary to pinch out the buds to get a good growth in pots; the trusses are medium size, not quite as large as Nutt, but any deficiency in size is more than made up In the number produced, as the bed will become literally covered with the bright scarlet flowers. In comparison with S. A. Nutt It is superior in every way, more free In bloom, more brilliant In color, and the habit of plant is more compact. During the past summer it has been tried out In all parts of the country as a bedder and has done remarkably, giving universal satis- faction, and the general verdict Is that It is the coming scarlet bedding Geranium. Ready Jan. 1, 1914, $1.00 per doz. ; ?6.00 per 100. R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co White Narsii, Maryland ORCHIDS FRESH IMPORTED Cattleya Labiata, Cattleya Gigas, Cattleya Gigas SaDderiaoa.

[Ooncluded from pace 26.] tion baseball team defeated the "Wend- land & Keimel nine at Elmhurst August 3, by a score of 19 to 8. Catcher Allie Zech, of the Cook County squad, re- ceived a pitched ball on the end of one of his fingers, with the result that the digit was split almost to the bone and the nail torn off. He does not expect to be able to play again this season. The Amling team at Maywood is on the schedule for August 9. W. French, of Sharp, Partridge & Co., is on a two weeks' vacation at Eagle River, Wis. A. Miller is back from a business trip through Minnesota and says that things are going along in fine shape at Minne- apolis, where the convention prepara- tions are in full sway. He expects to remain in Chicago until convention time, when he will make the trip to the Twin Cities in the interests of A. Hen- derson & Co. In connection with recent changes to make room for a new garage, the Geo. Wittbold Co. has built a concrete oil house, which speaks well for the work- men who did the job. Employees of this concern have become quite profi- cient in building with reinforced con- crete. Miss Frances Nagle is on her vacation at Booth Lake, Wis. John Sinner got the fishing bee August 3 and, together with several friends, put in a half day angling for perch, with more or less success.

D. BALL, HOLMESBURG, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Mention The Review when you write. DETROIT. Club Meeting. Sydney Tinkler, of Mount Clemens, was elected a member of the Detroit Florists' Club at the meeting August 4. . OflScers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Frank Danzer; vice-president, Albert Poche- lon; secretary, Baleigh Wells; treasurer, Robert Rahaley, reelected. J. F. Sullivan firmly declined the president's chair, after being duly elected. Hugo Schroeter positively refused to accept the oflSce of secretary, owing to the press of other duties. Various Notes. Norman and Ernest Sullivan spent the last week of July in Cleveland, mak- ing the journey there and back in Mr. Sullivan's touring car. Albert Havrane, of Walkerville, Ont., is enjoying a few weeks' well-earned rest, traveling through Milwaukee and thereabouts. B. Schroeter celebrated his seventy- second birthday, July 27, by being on the job at 7 a. m. in the morning and remaining there until the store closed. Christ Winterich and family motored from Defiance, O., to Detroit last week and spent several days here seeing the sights. Samuel Seligman, of Sprinkleproof fame, is with us again, handing out some of his good smokes and jokes, both of which all the members of the club enjoyed immensely. J. A. Muller, representing the Julius Roehrs Co., was an interested visitor at the meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club. He was called upon for a few remarks and gave a few pointers on the matter of publicity, which, if followed out, will prove valuable. J. K.

The Market. It is astonishing to what a slight de- gree the so-called financial stringency of the present time affects the flower market. June was a record month and July has written up figures that three years ago would not have been dreamed of for the warmest month of the year. All the young stock is coming along well, and outdoor sweet peas and car- nations are being favored by the right kind of weather conditions. Asters, un- fortunately, are suffering more or less from the bug, which up to the present has defied all efforts to exterminate it. A few Golden Glow mums came in early in July. Various Notes. American Beauties at the Dale Es- tate were never such a failure as last season. Growers and methods have been changed this summer, and results will be awaited with the greatest in- terest by every man and boy on the establishment. Superintendent Edward Dale was last heard of from Belfast, Ireland, where he and his daughter watched the procession of Orangemen, on the celebrated July 12, take two hours and forty-five minutes to pass a given point. This week the Canadian Horticultural Association 's annual convention is to be held at Peterborough, Ont., but it is feared that the arduous tasks of the last twelve months, necessitating longer vacations, will prevent many Bramp- tonians from attending. The daily papers report a serious ac- cident to W. W. Gammage, the whole- sale florist of London, Ont. Mr. Gam- mage was motoring with two friends in the neighborhood of Ailsa Craig, when the car was upset. The two friends were thrown clear of the ma- chine, but Mr. Gammage was pinned under the steering wheel. He was se- riously crushed before being released, and was removed to a house near by, where physicians were speedily in at- tendance. The trade will wish him a speedy recovery. W. G. P.

The steadily increasing consumption of smokeless coal in other lines, especially in apartment houses in cities, probably will make it necessary for florists to pay con- stantly advancing prices for Pocahontas and other coals of the same class. It merely is a question of what the traffic will bear. Subscribers are invited tb 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. ONE MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE. My greenhouse is 27x60 feet. The flow pipe from the boiler is 214-inch; it runs to the far end of the house, about four feet down from the ridge, and branches oflf in. two 2-ineh pipes to four 1*4 -inch returns that go all around the house in two sections. Is that enough piping to heat the house to 50 degrees at night in zero weather! If not, how much more piping is needed. S. A. W. In order to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees in the house described, with steam heat, one 2i^-inch flow pipe and eight 1^-inch returns will be required. Of these returns, two or three pipes should be on each wall and the others distributed under the benches. Of Taiapliona Cantfal 14 Mines on B. & O. R. R. Eatabllahad 1887 Kelly, W.

COAL AT CHICAOO. The Franklin county operators of Ill- inois are discounting the shortage of water, the rush of buying orders, and the shortage of cars by advancing their prices to $1.60 a ton on lump, egg and nut, and other prices correspondingly high. All of these prices went into effect August 1. The largest compa- nies have, in the last two months, made astounding production records and yet they have not been able to overstock the market. Some of the smaller opera- tions have been closed down in part, but the field as a whole has been doing a tremendous business. Indiana opera- tors have enjoyed a splendid market at home. They could have sold quite a lot of coal in Chicago had they been willing to accept the prevailing prices. but those prices have not been consid- ered isatisfactory. The technical situation of the smoke- less market has not changed appreciably in the last week. Nothing has occurred to change the tide of demand for that coal. Certain retail dealers are still short in supply, while the apartment houses are, in some anxiety, buying ip coal ahead of the time when they pro- pose to use it. This has made a strong market for mine-run coal on the ba-is of $1.50 at the mines. A NEW HOUSE AND EXTENSION. I am building another greenhou-e, 25x120, alongside the present one, a. id wish to know how to pipe it for hot water. The boiler is an American Idenl, rated at 1,800 square feet of radiation. Would it be better to tap the other opening in the boiler or to connect the two mains f I have only one main run- ning from the;boiler at present. I have J J7»!i^ ineh main, a .'5-inch return to the boiler and eight 2-inch returus on the walls. Would that be enough piping to heat the house for carnations in th? • iiniate of Washington state, where the temperature seldom, if ever, drops to ^•erof If that would not be enough, please tell nu' what pipes are really needed for this new house, 25x120, and describe the best arrangement of them. The present house is 18x80 and I am adding forty feet to the end of it. The piping in this house consists of a 3-inch main under the ridge and six 2-inch re- turns. I wish to heat this 40-foot ex- tension by lengthening the pipes in the present house. I can run the main right through, but I am in doubt about the installation .of the returns. I in- tend to \ise the 46-foot=4ouse mostly for potted stock and shall not grow any- thing in it that will need jfinch forcing. If I bring the returns back as they are "1 the present house, they will block the walks in the present house. The only practicable way that ,1 can think Simonds Heating & Specialty Co. Grand Rapids, Mich. GREENHOUSE ONE POUND PRESSURE VACUUM HEATINQ SYSTEMS ^^entlon The Reylew when yon write. of is to put the returns on the walls and put another main return on the walls in the present house. W. H. The present 3-inch main would not be able to handle the new house in addi- tion to the old one. While a 3-inch main could be used for the new house, it will be better if three 2%-inch flows are used. One of these could be on each plate and the other under the ridge. If the 3-inch flow is used, ten 2-inch re- turns will be needed, but with three 2% -inch flows only eight 2-inch returns will be needed for easy heating in zero weather. If there are only one or two (lavs during the winter when the tem- perature drops as low as zero, it would be possible by heavy firing to maintain PUT YOUR HEATING PROBLENS == UP TO == Robt.

Los AMOSLE8 WooDiJTocK, Ontario San Fbanoihco the needed temperature with two less returns. For heating the proposed extension to the present house, it is suggested that the 3-inch main be reduced to 2i/->-inch and extended to the farther end of the extension. Disconnect four of the 2- inch returns from the present main and extend them to the farther end of the house, and connect with the end of the 2^-inch main. The other return pipes need not be changed, and will still be connected with the end of the 3-inch flow pipe. This will give one 3-inch flow and six 2-ineh returns in the pres- ent house and one 2V^-inch flow and four 2-inch returns in the extension, and the latter will maintain \ temperature about 10 degrees lower than is now secured. As no plan of the houses was submitted, no definite advice can be given about the exact location of the returns, but good results can be secured if they are ui)on the walls as suggested. SESIDENCE AND OBEENHOUSE. Will you kindly submit the enclosed sketch to your heating expert? Can I heat the residence and conservatory if the piping is arranged as indicated in the sketch, or must 1 have a separate return pipe for each radiator? The boiler is in the cellar, which is ^ven feet deep, and the expansion tank is in the garret of the residence. W. F. H. The sketch shows a number of radia- tors through which the flow pipes pass, and return pipes running from the far- ther radiator in each series to the boiler. While this plan of arrangement might be used when no more than two radia- tors are to be connected, it will be bet- ter to run a flow pipe under each series of radiators and then connect each of the radiators directly to this pipe. A return pipe should be run in the same manner and connection made with each radiator. NEW ORLEANS, LA. The Market. The last two weeks of July were the busiest ones the retailers have had for 9, long tiflie. The sudden death of Mor- gan Whitaey, July 18, called for the most artistic and expensive ftwrerai work of «U descriptions that some of the local HoHsts ever had to make up, Superior in Name- "The Superior boiler has them all beat for greenhouse heating" is what the grow- ers all say who are using them. Superior in Fact The SUPERIOR STANDARD is designed specially for green- house work after a close study' of what was needed. It is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but — more flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water heats quicker' and hotter, because the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller. All we ask is a chance to show you.

Activity then sets in among the seed stores, and a few of them will be compelled to work night and day to fill their orders. The market is filled with a profusion of vegetables, selling at low prices, owing to the overproduc- tion of many varieties. The growers had a most deplorable season last year and nearly everything grown went beg- ging. This was occasioned by the late, open winter experienced throughout the north. The usual acreage will be planted, however, and it looks as though many thousands of acres of reclaimed land in the delta section of the state will produce vegetables also. In addi- tion to this, many of the large sugar plantations will be forced eventually to adopt some other crop than sugar. This will all have a tendency to make this section one of the world's greatest ag- ricultural regions, as the ideal soil, cli- mate, etc., enables it to grow vegetables that have the preference in every mar- ket in the country.

The Market; This is a low-ebb time for all florists. The heat of last week made the florist 's life abolSt as full of discomforts as would ever be found in an equatorial climate. Greenhouse men are putting their benches and glass in condition. Some are beginning to plant carnations and before many days the majority of the carnations will be in their winter abode. All vegetation outside is on the jump, with plenty of rain and hot weather. Various Notes. Baldwin the Florist had some excite- ment at his place a few days ago. A liveryman's horse took the notion to investigate the decorations in the win- dow, and as a result the large sheet of glass was broken to ' ' smithereens. ' ' Mr. Baldwin has built a spacious greenhouse at the rear of his store and has it planted with carnations. Mr. Wolfe, of Philadelphia, who has been with Mr. Baldwin for some months, has left his employ. .Tonathan Kodhani has abandoned his greenhouse site on Oliphant road, hav- ing removed his buildings to a location near his home on Blair avenue; this •change is a great convenience to him. He is cutting some carnations from plants which stand on the benches at the old site, with no glass over them. His are about the only carnations that are coming into the market from grow- ers in this vicinity. F. W. Mackey, who was hard hit by the hail storm in June, is reglazing his greenhouses. The eight flower beds on the court- house square!, plantbd by eight different florists, are all attaining line proportions and are quite decorative. John Weathers has left his position as private gardener and is now in the employ of Besancon & Co. The flower beds at Nay Aug park are looking exceptionally fine. Park Super- intendent T. H. Phillips and his assist- ants have planned wisely in the distri- bution and setting of plants from their conservatory, and as a park of natural scenery Nay Aug has few equals. B. E. Cokely, who spent six weeks in his bungalow at Herriek Center, has re- turned to business with renewed energy, leaving his family on the mountain side to. enjov Husquehanna countv's cool breez"s.* (T.

The tose market has tightened up, and the only good varieties to be had are Bride, Ivory and Golden Gate. Maryland and Killarney are out of the question. However, there are many other flow- ers to choose from, as asters are get- ting better every day, and gladioli are arriving, good both in quality and quantity. ' The first part of the week brought a lot of funeral work, of which every shop got a part. Not only that, but there was not a day passed without a cluster, wreath or pillow in the day's orders. This county made a name for itself this season among the leading whole- sale houses of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and New York for havin'g the first and best cut of asters. This name will hold good in both the city and county for years to come, as it is Lane-aster. Various Notes. L. S. Landis is cutting some fine asters, which he says he is shipping to Pittsburgh, Pa. Charles Baxter and Ira Keen, of Pen- nock Bros., Philadelphia, spent several days here, looking over our flower shops and greenhouses. The Keystone Nurseries are cutting some good Easter lilies. J. F. Johnson, of Bridgeport, Pa., who makes a specialty of swetet peas and violets, is cutting some good gladioli and dahlias. I'rank L. Kohr, of Manheim pike, is still cutting a few carnations and snap- dragons. Visitors: Albert Jones, of Pennock- Meehan Co., Philadelphia; J. M. Mc- (.'auley, of Woodruflf & Sons, New York; P. M.

' * * Your present way of getting roses or direct from a big: growing establishment like this? Of course there are a lot of big growers you can buy direct from, but most of them also have a wholesale house; WE don't. Last week, roses that were cut on our place Monday morn- ing were in the hands of dealers away up north in Minnesota and down south in Georgia by next day noon, and the following morning in Fargo, North Dakota. And they all wrote us, including Mr. Smedley, the Dakota man, that they arrived there in splendid shape. You know that these roses must have been fresh-=carefully packed—and good stock, or they would not stand shipping that distance in hot weather. Of course most of them were Beau- ties, and Beauties stand shipping better than other roses. You can buy good Beauties here to re- tail at one, two and three dollars a dozen. We grow 40,000 Beauties and nearly 50,000 other roses, including plenty of the popular yellows. Carnations and Mums, too, in season. Try our way for this season-you will find a difference in your profits. Notice our lower price list. PRICE LIST These will be the Prices till October 1.

The Florists' Review Larger Quantities^ but The Same High Quality Part of Our New Houses— 34 x 600 feat. URING the past twelve months we have built 18 large new houses, devoted to Carnations, Roses and Chrysanthemums, at Gregg's station, two miles #est of Hinsdale station. This in addition to our home ranges of glass at Hinsdale gives us a very large increase of output. We have always maintained a name for the high class quality of the flowers we produce and cater especially to the shipping trade. We cut our flowers to carry well and impress on all buyers the advantage of getting their flowers direct of a large grower. We cordially invite all visiting florists to call and inspect our stock of flowers and see the n^w style of construction adopted in building our houses. WHEN YOU BUY YOUR STOCK On •this market, bear in mind that if you buy of ufl you get the best stock that money can produce. We are ever adding to our exp^ience of three generations of growing and wholesaling and are constantly striving to produce for your needs the highest quality of goods obtainable.

The Florists' Review « Tliefe are Teh Good Reasons Why the New Scarlet Bedding Geranium "HELEN MICHELL" Surpasses all other Bedding Geraniums in commerce at present Reason No. 1. In brilliancy of color. There is no brighter scarlet known than is possessed by this novelty. The color is clear through with no other tint to mar the brilliant effect. Reason No. 2. In size of bloom. The individual florets meas- ure invariably 2^2 inches across, and the entire clusters average o^u inches in diameter, with many reaching (> inches. This size of bloom is its natural character and is not produced by feed- ing or disbudding. Reason No. 8. In number of closters to the individual plant. Any young plant in 8^2 or 4-inch pot will, when fully developed, show 3 or more gigantic flower heads with addi- tional buds to follow; larger plants, as (>inch pots, will often show from o to 7 heads; plants grown outdoors flower so freely that little foliage can be seen. Reason No. 4. In vigor or streng^th. The plants from the very beginning show splendid health by a lustrous foliage and sturdy stems. At no time, though, is this robustness objec- tionable, as it does not lead to coarse foliage or lanky growth. Reason No. 6. In earliness of bloom. On March 20th we had our houses photographed, showing every plant of "Helen Michell" in full bloom. These houses are kept at a temperature of 00^ at night. This great early flow- ering feature is of an unusual import- ance to the commercial man. as he can clean up his houses a month before the usual time and get ready for his next crop. No more disappointment to have geraniums not in bloom in time. Reason No. 6 In constancy of bloom. This novelty has been under our own supervision now for two con- secutive seasons, and never once have the plaht^ ceased to bloom profusely, no matteij whether we had continued drought or Sunshine or an abundance of rain. ; • - - Reason No. 7. In propag^ating qualities. On account of its easy branching habit more cuttings can be made of a single plant than from any other variety. Reason No. 8. In its ability to retain its brilliancy of color in either rain or shine. There is no off-season with flowers. Sunshine and plenty of it is its delight. At no time are the beds more brilliant than after a continued dry hot spell, nor are rainy seasons marring to its beauty. Reason No. 9. In not turnings bUck after a rain. Rain never blackens or rots the flowers. The flow- er heads being oval in shape throw off the rain, the flower petals gradually fade and die off, thus doing away with the cleaning of the black flowers after a rain. '^''^ > ' Reason No..^0. Tn its even gro-win^ habit. The plants are compact in habit and semi-dwarf, and if plants for bedding are used from the same size pot, from the very beginning the bed has the appearance of bein^ trimmed like Coleus, as all flowers appear exactly in the same height.

The Florists^ Review 11 jur NEW EXPRESS RATES if MEAN SAVING FOR FLORISTS A Study of the Interstate Commerce Commission's Recent Order Shows Many Gains for our Trade I HE express companies say they will appeal to the courts in the effort to postpone the application of the new rates ordered Au- gust 4 by the Interstate Com- merce Commission. Every florist should hope to see the rates become effective October 15, in accordance with the com- ~ mission 's order, for a study of the docu- ment shows the florists' gain to have been ever greater than was indicated by the press dispatches sent out from Washington that were the basis for most of the express rate article in The Review last week. The feature gf the or- <1 other 2d class shipments 75 New Orleans: On out flowers and other 1st class shipments. . 3.75 .^ On plants and other 2d class shipments 2.75 New York: On cut flowers and other Ist class shipments. . 2.50 ..,.*?". P'*"*'* *"d other 2d class shipments 1.90 Pittsburgh : On cut flowers and other 1st class shipments. . 1.75 On plants and other 2d class shipments 1.40 St. Louis: On cut flowers and other Ist class shipments. . 1.50 On plants and other 2d class shipments 1.20 When the express companies years ago granted a reduced rate on live plants the reduction was at first a flat twenty per cent and many florists still think of it as just that, but November 15, 1906, a change was made that scarcely anybody heard aboui at the time. The so-called Scale N was put into effect. Scale N did not need to be hidden, for it gave the general spe- cials a better average rate than the old twenty-per cent reduction. It is still in force and will continue until the new order becomes effective. It provides for a definite special rate, like this: ""Where the merchandise rate is $5.50 per 100 pounds the general special rate is $3.50." The table was printed in full in last week's issue of The Review. A study of Scale N will show that the general special rate is between six- teen and two-thirds per cent and twenty-five per cent less than the mer- chandise rate up to where the mer- chandise rate exceeds $3.25 per 100 pounds. From $3.50 to $4.25 merchan- dise rate the special rate is twenty- seven to thirty per cent less. From $4.50 up, merchandise rate, the special rate shows reductions of from thirty- two to thirty-six per cent. The new classification, with its arbitrary limit of rate at seventy-five per cent of the first class rate, therefore, is more favorable than the old Scale N rate is to where the first class is $3.25 per 100 pounds and less favorable where the first class rate exceeds $3.25 per 100 pounds. But taken in connection with the general reduc- tion of the first class or merchandise rate the gain to plant shippers is important. The dozen or more comparisons of present and proposed rates shown in the table herewith, however, show that in only a few instances is authority given for an advance in rates. The commission prescribes the maximum rates; the companies can go lower if they wish. Two Examples. The Detroit-Chicago rates: The new order does not reduce the rate on jcut flower shipments . weighing 100 pounds, but it cuts the rate on plants properly packed. The old gen- eral special rate is $1 where the mer- chandise rate is $1.25, but the new sec- ond class rate must not exceed three- quarters of the first class rate. The re- sult is a cut on all shipments of plants, ferns, etc., amounting to 7 cents per 100 pounds. Take th« Des Moines-Chicago rates: The new order gives the authority to advance the first class rate 5 cents on shipments weighing 100 pounds, (there IS a reduction on shipments weighing less than fifty pounds), btrt the general special rate is $1.40 where the merchan- l.tS .08 2.40 1.80 1.00 .75 .75 1.25 .03 2.10 1.58 .75 .56 3.10 2.32 2.40 1.80 1.70 1.27 1.40 1.05 »"w'>m"iiJ!M!i«».j^»«iJ>jljF;!^W»' Lv^f^'T;^^^ '<:«»,■> '?"^'\^V,»I:: * T'*7^?j*»?r • ■ " ^~ ^ ? -^^ 12 The Fforists' Review August 14, 1913. •tise rate is $1.75 aiuT three-fourths of $1.80 is $1.35, so that the uew second class rate must be a reduction of 5 cents even in one of the few instances in which the express companies are given authority for an increase in the first class rate per 100 pounds. Some Restrictions. Here in parallel columns are the lists 0^ the present general specials and the new second class as far as they affect florists, seedsmen and nurserymen: General gpecials: Second class: Branches of Pepper Trees. Bulbs. Bulbs. Cape Jasmines. Cape Jasmine flowers. Cuttings (except cut Cuttings (except cut flowers ) . flowers) . Eerns (cut). Ferns (cut). Fertiliier. Fertiliier.

Shrubs (see trees). Smilax. Trees. Trees, shrubs and branches of same. Tubers. Tubers. As under the present express classifi- cation, the new classification contains certain restrictions on the packing of articles that are to be carried at the lower rates. In the main they follow the old phraseology, but there are im- portant exceptions. The purpose is to insure such packing as will enable the carriers to handle the shipments with- out extra care. Here are the rules: ' ' Greens, decorative, cut — In boxes, f tfSe when in pots or dther receptacles completely boxed. * ' Christmas trees — Wrapped or bound in packages, not exceeding twelve feet long, double first class. Exceeding twelve feet long, subject to rule 18, which provides for special bulky ship- ments requiring other than ordinary service, "Trees, shrubs and branches of same — Completely boxed, crated or strawed and baled and packed so that they can be stowed with other freight and han- dled without extra care." Betum of Empties. A new rule is made with regard to the return of empties. The rate is not to exceed one-half the rate per 100 pounds that applies on the commodity shipped in the carriers when full, the weight to be aggregated when two or more empties are included in the ship- ment; minimum charge 15 cents. Cut flower baskets, boxes or crates are to be returned at a maximum charge of 10 cents each where the weight is fifteen pounds or less and 15 cents where the weight exceeds fifteen pounds. Befri- gerator boxes, empty, are to be returned at 25 cents each. A CENSUS OF GLADIOLI. Alfred C. Hottes, who is in charge of the trial grounds of the American Gla- diolus Society at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.

"Moss — Boxed, crated or baled. "Plants, dormant — Not potted, se- curely packed. "Plants, growing — Not in pots or tubs, placed in boxes the sides and ends of which are as high 'as or higher than the plants, and slats nailed over the top to completely protect the plants, second class; in pots or tubs with plants and receptacles crated, first class; in pots or tubs, not crated, double first class; re- sent out a number of questions to all commercial growers of gladioli of whom we know. These questions we have thought would cover somewhat a census of gladiolus growing, and we would like to have them put into as many hands as possible. We are sending you the questions, and wonder if you could pub- lish them in your paper; for your paper would reach a large number of growers not members of the American Gladiolus Society. It seems important to all growers df the gladiolus that such ques- tions as, 'What varieties do you con- sider synonyms?' and 'What varieties are different under the same name.' etc., should be answered. Should y( u print them, we wonder if you could head the questions with an appeal fir anyone who has any thoughts along ths line to correspond with us and discu is those questions he feels able to answer. We hope that you can cooperate with us in making this information as complete as possible. ' ' The question blank is three tyjic- written sheets conveniently spaced for filling in the answers. Doubtless Mr. Hottes will send copies to any readers of The Review who are interested in the subject. SANDS AMONG THE LILIES, Modestly in the background of the illustration, hiding behind the products of his labor, which speak for them- selves and for him, stands Murray Sands, of Jackson, Tenn. The lilies are but a part, a sample, of the stock he had at Easter, One has only to see them to know why their grower is kept busy throughout the year. To take caro of his business properly, he is now build- ing an addition to his plant, which will be used as a house for chrysanthemums. The material and plans are being fur- nished by the John C. Moninger Co. When this house is completed the plant will have a total of about 12,000 square feet of glass. Mr, Sands is a son of the late Judge Wm. B. 'Sands, of Balti- more, Md. __^ BN.GLISH GRAPES UNDER GLASS. Last winter I planted some exotic grapes imported from England. I pruned them back closely and am run- ning up one cane to a vine. They have reached the top of the wires, but what I am concerned about is the lowest five or six feet of cane and the amount of growth I shall retain when pruning this fall. The thickening of the cane by growth has almost obliterated from view the eyes that are required to break next spring to become, eventually, the spurs. The leaf at the base of several of the eyes that I refer to seems to have performed its function and is turning yellow, but the lateral shoots are in good shape. Will there be any difficulty in breaking the eyes at the base end of the cane in the spring, or can I help them to swell by pinching during the rest of this season all the future growths that come away at the top end of the vines? I found it neces- sary to shade slightly on the south s'lle of the house, as the vines, not being acclimated, flagged a little about the middle of each hot day. H. H A n.itural mistake which you prob- ably made in running your canes up v. -is in not pinching them back three or four times before they reached the top of the house. After the canes had nia le, say, three to four feet of growth, tl ey should have been pinched. This st 'p- ping causes the buds to plump up Wi H; these are the buds, be it remember 'd, that are to produce the side laterals to carry fruit another season.

A. F. Applications for membership in the S. A. F. are coming in freely, and the record for new members will likely equal or exceed that of the great 1912 convention held in Chicago. The B. E. Loeben Prixes. R. E. Loeben, Gloversville, N. Y., has donated $50, to be used for some pur- pose at the S. A. F. convention and ex- hibition in the advancement of floricul- ture. The advisory committee has de- cided to offer this in two prizes, to be known as the E. E. Loeben prizes: First, a loving cup valued at $30, and second, a loving cup valued at $20, for the best table decoration. The rules governing competition are as follows: Table used is to be a round table and not to exceed six feet in diameter, set for four persons; the floral arrangement only is to be judged. The exhibit must be in place not later than 12 o'clock noon of the second day, Wednesday, August 20. Entries must be made to John Young, secretary, S, A. F. Flowers are to be kept in fresh condition for the rest of the week and table and accessories to be fur- nished by the exhibitor. Prizes foir Sports. C. H. Euedlinger, chairman of the lo- cal committee on sports, has been busy securing prizes and arranging the de- tails of the bowling tournament and the sports which will take place on the day of the outing at Tonka bay. Mr. Eued- linger announces that he has received from Hess & Swoboda, Omaha, the in- teresting prize of a life membership in the S. A. F. This, to the writer, seems to be the most attractive prize ever offered at any convention. John A. Young, Secretary. NATIONAL OABDENEBS. A meeting of the members of the National Association of Gardeners at- tending the convention of the Society of American Florists, in Minneapolis, will be held in the Armory on Wednes- day evening, August 20, at 7:30 o'clock, to which all gardeners are invited. There will be no routine business. The meeting is called simply to offer an opportunity to the members from the east to become acquainted with their western brethren. Following the meet- ing the members will adjourn to the lecture to be given by Theodore Wirth «n the parks and boulevards of Minne- _apolis. M. C. Ebel, Sec'y. OMAHA TO MINNEAPOLIS. The Omaha Florists' Club hereby in- vites the western florists to come and join the Omaha party for the S. A. F. convention. The party will leave Omaha on Monday, August 18, at 9:05 p. m., over the Chicago & North-West- em railroad, arriving at Minneapolis at 8:25 Tuesday morning. The fare from Omaha is $16.20 for the round trip, which is no reduction from the full fare. I would advise parties outside of Omaha to ask for special rates, as Kansas City, St. Joe, Lincoln and other points have just as cheap rates as Omaha, but get your tickets to read "via Omaha, over the North-Western. " Also apply to L. Henderson, the secretary, 1519 Farnam street, Omaha, for reserved berths, which are $2 for lower and $1.60 for Tipper, T HE PEOGEAM of the twenty-ninth annual convention of the Society of American Florists, to be held in Minneapolis, Minn., beginning Au^'ust 19, is as follows: .

Henderson, Sec'y. COREOPSIS AND CORNFLOWERS. Will you please tell us the method of handling bachelor's buttons and calliop- sis for winter blooming! Are the bach- elor's buttons quoted among cut flowers the double cornflowers? K. & S. The seed of bachelor's buttons can be sown in rows under glass eighteen inches apart, either in solid beds or raised 'benches. The benches are pref- erable in midwinter, but are not so g"oi after February. Sowings can be m ide about the end of August directly in the benches. Some start them in pots in frames and use them as a succession crop to chrysanthemums. A tempera- ture of 45 to 48 degrees at night miist not be exceeded. Compost suitable ''or chrysanthemums or roses is all right of bachelor's buttons. The annual varieties of coreopsis, or calliopsis, such as Drummondii, Morn" ing Star and atrosanguinea, can be planted in benches like the bachelor's buttons, but are not profitable winter ^•>ji,iM"W!iii|if)ijll!iii,5«;' .JjWfflWI';'^,'*' • '^'.Tr;'"' '""^ "r- ' .W> AUGUST 14, 1913.

In the issue of The Review for July [1, thorp was published a copy of the phicago ordinance prohibiting the see- |nd use of wire work and materials of jpsigns once placed in a cemetery. The allowing Tuesday, five days later, the nne law was in efifect in Little Kock, irlc. Florists in many cities besides Chi- cago have been interested in this sub- ject and the ordinance and its accom- panying article brought it again to their attention in a crystallized form. P. M. Palez, who is alderman of the Third ward, as well as a leading florist, in Lit- tle Rock, Ark., found what he had for several years been looking for in the ordinance reprinted in The Review. His copy reached him Monday, August 4, and he was ready to act. That night he introduced a duplicate of the Chi- cago law into the council; it passed and was in efifect next day. This surely is a record for quick legislative action. But, of course, the entire florists' trade was back of it. MOLES IN CUCUMBER BEDS. I noted the following inquiry from H. J. P., in a recent issue of The Re- view: "Moles are damaging my cu- cumber crop. There is not a bed in the houses which they have not undermined in every direction. In winter they brought destruction to the lettuce crop, and nothing that I could do would stop them. Traps did not do the work. Flooding the beds was witliout effect. Does anybody know how to make them leave the greenhouses? Your advice will be highly appreciated." In reply to H. J. P., I would suggest the following method, which I have found to be effective: Dig some holes in the beds, each hole deep enough to allow a pail of water to be placed in it. The pails must be about half filled with water and placed with their rims a lit- tle below the surface. Dig about three or four holes in each bed. The moles will drop into the water and will drown. Paul Dieball. CUCUMBERS ON SOLID BEDS. I propose to devote two houses to the growing of White Spine cucum- bers for the winter market. These two houses have been used for tomatoes, which have been grown on benches in one house and on solid beds in the other house. I have not found bot- tom heat necessary, the houses being well supplied with returns under the side plates. I shall be glad to have your advice as to whether it will do to grow these cucumbers on solid beds on the ground and whether it is neces- sary to put in further floor piping. In this part of Ontario we rarely get severe frost before January; during January and February the temperature may occasionally fall to 10 degrees below zero. We have found it quite easy to keep a temperature of 70 de- grees without using the pipes under the benches, which are laid in one house. If we can succeed without the necessity of putting in benches it will be a great convenience. R. N. W. There is no need to construct benches for the cucumbers. Of course, on raised benches they would probably yield somewhat better in midwinter, but few growers on a large scale plant in any other way than on the ground. If you can maintain a winter mini- mum of 65 degrees in zero weather, it will suffice for the cucumbers. C.

SEASONABLE NOTES. The Shade on Cattleya Houses. While we stilj may expect consider- able warm weather, the days are short- ening and the nights are preceptibly cooler. While the sunshine so far dur- ing August lias been about equal to that during July, we are likely to have a good deal of warm, humid and cloudy weatiier i)efore the month closes, and it behooves those who have the inter- ests of their cattleyas at heart to see to .it that the shading on the glass is not too dense. If a house looks dark in- side during a cloudy day, it is a sure sign that some shade should be removed. Cattleyas in a densely shaded house will have beautiful, dark green foliage and bulbs, but they will not flower like others which have had stronger light. Those who can afford roller, or other movable shades, have a great advantage in being able to give their plants a maximum of light when it is most needed. Cattleya flowers at this season are scarce, and retailers who may chance to get a decoration or funeral order calling for orchid.s will have hard work to get the needful supplies. C. Dowiana is still in flower, and there are still a few C. gigas and C. Gaskelliana. The chief standby, however, is that free-flowering little variety, C. Harrisonia*. The flow- ers of this are small compared with those of many other cattleyas, but are of a charming pink color and are quite freely i)roduced on stout scapes. It probably pays the grower for the mar- ket as well as any of the labiata section. Holding for a Late Market. Cattleya labiata has buds well up in the sheaths, and some few almost open. These flowers always bring an excellent price. It is the early and late ones which make the dollars. Any grower who can hold his flowers back until De- cember, when about all the labiatas have passed, is sure to make good money. ' ' How can we hold our plants back?" may be asked. Give an abun- dance of air both night and day. Never mind if the night temperature falls be- low 60 degrees; it will not hurt them at all, and your flowers will have all the more substance when you get them. Cattleyas should not be treated like cypripediums, dendrobiums, or even roses. It is all wrong to shut them up tightly in the afternoon after syring- ing overhead, to produce a "nice grow- ing atmosphere." The top ventilators of a cattleya house should never be closed except in the winter months, and even then some bottom air should be admitted. Watering and Feeding. Watering should be done in the morn- ing. Plants such as C. labiata, Trianse, Mossiffi, Percivaliana and others, in act- ive growth, will need a liberal supply, more than C. Gaskelliana, Dowiana and others which are just starting into growth. Feeding is a much debated question. Some recommend, others con- demn it. We have seen equally good l)lants grown by either system. The best of all were watered with rain water caught in a large tank. This involved dipping each plant — a heavy task. This water sometimes smelled rather strongly and probably gave the plants just the little tonic they needed. Do any feed- ing moderately, and use weak cow or sheep manure water, or a little Bon Arbor, which is similar to the well known Lookson 's formula in its effect on orchids, and do not feed cattleyas or Iselias more frequently than once a fortnight. A spraying each clear afternoon should be given the cattleyas. Give it suflSciently early so that it will dry before nightfall. Night temperatures are variable during August. As a gen- eral rule it can run from 60 to 65 de- grees. Some nights it will be higher and it will do no harm if it falls to 58 degrees on cool evenings. It is not a good plan to shut the house up tightly on a cool night; leave some air on, to keep the atmosphere buoyant. HEAD LETTUCE IN FRAMES. I am preparing to grow head lettuce for the market, and should like to know the most economical method to employ, I may be in the business only tempo- rarily, and it would therefore seem to be unwise to build a regular lettuce house at this time. Do you think that a hotbed would answer the purpose for winter use in this Oregon climate? Or I might use a coldframe with a couple of '^i-inch or 1-ijieh pipes on the sides, as I can place them on a hillside. If you think this feasible, what tempera- ture would be best? The soil I have is a deep black loam, containing some sand, and it retains moisture to a fair d«^ree. What commercial fertilizer should I use? What varieties of head lettuce would vou recommend for mar- ket use? ' G, G. W. Whether or not you can grow good head lettuce in frames in winter de- pends a good deal on your climate. Where the temperature will fall to zero, I would advise against sti^rting any plantings in coldframes before February 10. Then, if you can secure some warm stable manure, mix and tramp a foot of it and cover this with seven or eight inches of good lettuce loam. After one crop is cleared, a<(l three inches more of well decayed nii- nure and fork it in for the succeedii g crop. You could get fairly good head L t- tuce in midwinter if you could proviii,', in addition to the warm manure, si;i- licient steam or hot water — the latt r is preferable in frames — to keep i;p a winter minimum of 40 to 42 degree s, rising to 45 degrees on warm nighis. By using warm manure alone you could be sure of an excellent crop umli Thanksgiving. This would leave nine or ten weeks during which some fiie heat would be advantageous. Your loam should be all right if it is will mixed with stable manure. The lead- ing lettuce forcers sterilize their soil to destroy all soil pests, weeds, etc., and this also prevents a disease called leaf scald. If you use steam, I would advise you to sterilize in that way. I would not advise the use of a com- mercial fertilizer. If you plant in the greenhouse, allow for fully fifteen inches of soil. A good selection from the many Ten- nis Ball varieties, white-seeded, is in- comparable for forcing purposes. Among the best are Hittinger's Bel- mont, Thorburn 's Glasshouse, Kawson 's Hothouse and Boston Market. C. W. OLD STOCK OF POINSETTIAS. Early in the summer I bought a lot of old stock of poinsettias, which had been flowered last year. I put them in 6-inch pots. The plants now have half a dozen or more strong shoots on them. I want to flower these poinsettias for cutting and have been advised by one florist to leave the plants in the pots and simply plunge 'the pots in a bed or bench. Is this a good method? 1 have never seen this method used and I have had no previous experience with poinsettias. The house in which I in- tend to plant them is about five feet high above the middle bench. Would that be suflicient head room? W. I. By plunging the pots and allowing the plants to root through you will get good bracts, but the plants would make much stronger growth and larger bracts if planted out in a bench in five or six inches of good soil, or even in a soli [laity from Warren, I'a., on their way north.

Normal conditions prevail in this niaiket, with just enough funeral work to keep things from becoming entirely dormant. Asters and gladioli form the principal stock at present, with roses and a few carnations. Various Notes. Frank McCarthy, with T.

Alexander Macrae, of F. Macrae 's Sons, returned the first of last week from an extended trip through Nova Scotia. The Kichardson & Boynton Co., of New York, manufacturers of steam and hot water boilers, furnaces, etc., has established its New England headquar- ters here on Washington street, with Leslie P. Haskins as manager. N. L. Boyce, representing the D. Lan- •ireth Seed Co., of Bristol, Pa., called on the seed trade in this citv last week. W. H. M. NEW YORK. The Market. "Nothing new" is the universal greeting one receives in both the whole- sale and retail sections. It is the old, old story, repeated every year, but this year breaking all records. Neverthe- less, the Sunday closing movement has practically been abandoned. A few of the wholesale houses, however, are maintaining their decision to test the innovation until September. The pos- sibility of all joining in the scheme profitably has been demonstrated. Only a few thought otherwise, and doubtless next season everyone will join hands in this desirable midsummer concession to their employees and themselves. There seems to be little improvement yet in the general quality of cut flower shipments. A few selected American Beauties have reached 25 cents. There «re not many to select from, and few no above 10 cents. Some fine Double White Killarney bring good prices, f^hawyer sells at from 10 cents down iind is growing in popularity. A few <'f last year's novelties are holding flieir own, but the bulk of all rose ar- 'i^ls is far below the grade of hon- "rable mention. However, the tend- «noy of quality will be upward from now on, and it will not be long before ^he turn of the tide. The same may I'e expected of carnations. There are hardly anjr salable ones arriving at I'lesent, with no apparent demand. Most of the asters are valueless and move with diflBculty; many of them move to the discard. The "^few which f>ic first-class and new varieties sell veadily, but the quantitv of these is limited. The gladiolus flood is at its height and only tlte choice varieties command over 50 cents per hundred. Many exhibits are seen of the new and named kinds in the seedsmen's win- dows. The retail windows everywhere are making gladioli the basis of decor- ative display, but with that their mis- sion seems to be ended. Both valley and lilies kre command- ing better appreciation and prices are hardening. Sweet peas are improving in quality. Orchids are scarce and prices higher, as was anticipated. But the uplift of the whole market will not arrive noticeably before September. Various Notes. The initial meeting of the coming season of the New York Florists' Club will take place Monday, September 8. This will be convention night, and those privileged to visit Minneapolis are hereby reminded that they must come primed with memories of the Twin Cities and prepared to unfold them to their less fortunate brethren, who are unable to take the long journey. There will be exhibits of seasonable flowers and a pleasant reunion of the members, that should assure a large attendance. The members of the Boddington staff will complete their holidays next week. Mr. Boddington still is with his family in New England. Mr. Bunyard will enjoy a well earned rest after the S. A. F. convention. The Stumpp & Walter Co. has had an attractive display of new and named gladioli in the show window during the week. Their new store will have its handsome front completed and the im- mense plate glass windows in place in another week. Work on the five floors, basement and sub-basement is progress- ing rapidly, and it is hoped to have everything complete for occupancy early in September. ' The new store of Burnett Bros., on Chambers street, is already partly stocked, and removals continue daily. The firm expects to announce its open- ing about the end of August. Robert MacNiff was in the city Au- gust 7, and left again for the moun- tains, where he and his family are spending the summer. Charles ' Schenck, of Traendly & Schenck, has returned from his vaca- tion in the Catskills. Mr. Hanfling, of Rossin & Handing, returned from Europe last week on the Imperator, after a twelve weeks' pur- chasing trip, that included nearly a dozen countries. He says the flrm's importations will be double last year's, with some wonderful novelties among them, sufficient to fill their large new headquarters, now near completion. Louis Hanfling, city salesman for the firm, left August 9 for a two weeks' vacation in the Catskills. Matthew Sampson, Jr., manager of Noe 's wholesale department in the Coogan building, is spending his vaca- tion at Cuddebackville, in the Cats- kills. Louis A. Miller, of the same firm, has returned from his two weeks' holiday. .John Krai, foreman for Sloore, Hentz & Nash, is back from his annual cruise on the sound with his family. Mrs. Paul Meconi is again at the helm in the newly arranged store in the Coogan building. Mr. Meconi has more than doubled his window space, and will have new office facilities and an up-to-date place in every respect. The Henry M. Robinson Co. will move to the new store, at 55 West Twenty-sixth street, on the street level, which they declare will be "the finest equipped store in the wholesale busi- ness." This firm does a large out-of- town shipping business. Manager Glass is enjoying his holiday in the monn- tains and at the seashore, from which Samuel Salsberg has just returned. The new store of the Growers' Cut Flower Co., at 129 West Twenty-eighth street, is almost ready for occupancy, and before the end of the month J. J. Goan and his staff will be on deck in one of the largest and most modern establishments in the wholesale cut flower business. The Greater New York Fair and Ex- position at Yonkers is now under full headway. Stove and greenhouse plants constitute the horticultural exhibit from August 9 to 15. This will be the best week for the fl.orists and many are visiting it. The grounds may be reached readily by taking the subway to Two Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and the trolley to the exhibition gates. Scott Bros., of Elmsford, N. Y., Bobbink & Atkins and the Julius Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, N. J., are the leading evergreen exhibitors. The convention is now the talk of the town. Next week a complete list of the fortunate ones who go will be provided by Secretary De Forest, whose plea for a big representation from New York is a hard one to resist. There will be a large crowd from the metropo- lis and vicinity. Geo. M. Cosh, manager of the Brazos Greenhouses, at Houston, Tex., has just completed a month's holiday in New York state, and was a visitor at the outing of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society. Anton Schultheis and family are sum- mering as usual at Rockaway and on the sound. J. K. Allen is visiting his Long Island and New Jersey growers this week. He continues his Sunday clos- ing until September. Emil Schloss, of Schloss Bros., will have his usual exhibit at the conven- tion. This is a good time to visit the grand display of John Lewis Childs, at Flowerfield, L. I., where a welcome is always assured by I. S. Hendrickson, the manager. Mrs. Charles Millang and family are summering in the White mountains. Carl Elliott, of W. Elliott & Sons, is enjoying his vacation at Atlantic City. Geo. E. Bennett, of Flatbush, and bis family are at Sacket lake, N. Y., for the summer. Miss Mabel E. Conkling, bookkeeper for H. E. Froment, has returned from her four weeks' vacation. H. E. Fro- ment left August 8 for the Adiron- dacks. Phil Ditzenberger. of this firm, also has returned from his vacation. J. Austin Shaw. OBITUAEY, William Squires.

Next week the convention, the big event in the trade year. The Minneapolis newspapers are giv- ing the S. A. F. convention good pub- licity. 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 extreme heat and lou^ continued drought in the central wost have de- strojed large quantities of florists' stoik in the fields. Carnation plants will sell well in the west in the next few weeks. Wm. C. Gloeckner, of Albany, N. Y.. who is in such close touch with Repre- sentative Ten Eyck that it is said the two were the influence that gor the tariff bill phrased to trade liking, has written his friend that the increased weight limit for parcel post shipments, eflfective August 15, is in favor of florists, also that a still further step to the advantage of this trade would be increasing the limit of size to about 100 inches inste:id of seventy-two inches as at present. C. W. .Johnson, secretary of the Chrys- anthemum Society of America, has mailed to members the pamphlet issued annually by the organization, together with the preliminary premium list for the Chicago exhibition in November. The pamphlet contains the proceedings of the meeting at New York last November, a tabular report of the work of the society's exam- ining committees, which was recorded in The Review from week to week at the time; lists of American and foreign va- rieties disseminated in 1912, and a. list of the ninety-three members. Some growers still are planting chrys- anthemums, while others already are bt;- ginning to cut. It's a big trade now. Minneapolis is a summer resort citv of many attractions. An attendance of the ladies greater than in any recent year is expected at next week's conven- tion. GLADIOLUS SOCIETY OF OHIO. The gladiolus growers of Ohio, uf whom there are quite a number, have organized a nice little society for the purpose of fostering the interest in the flower and will hold their first annual show August 15, at 5709 Euclid avenue, Cleveland. There is a comprehensive premium list, with several special prizes offered by novelty raisers. The exhibi- tion committee consists of H. J. Alford, GarrettsviJle; R. E. Huntington, Paines- ville, and Mrs. A. H. Austin, Wayland. W. C. Werner, of Painesville, will be the judge. The officers of the society are as follows: President, C. Betscher, of Canal Dover; vice-president, Mrs. A. H. Austin, of Wayland; secretary and treasurer, Wilbur A. Christy, of Warren. IVrST! BUT THIS IS STRONG! At the risk of arousing the jealousy of Mr. Hearst, Mr. Munsey, Mr. Curtis and others who lay claim to the pre- eminence in the publishing field, The Review presents the following as the unsolicited opinion of one who speaks from more or less experience: I think The Review is the Greatest Paper on Earth and a sure money-getter for its adver- tisers.— H. O. Meikel, Frankfort, Ind.. August o. 1913. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The demand let down appreciably August 9 and in the days immediately following, but prior to that there was a rather brisk market, with a good de- mand clearing the tables of almost everything except the lower grades of stock. Not only were roses in demand, but even in the face of the hottest weather of the summer all other flowers moved along in good shape. The good asters have brought excellent returns in the face of a glut of poor stock. Among the logical reasons for the heavy out-of-town demand was the con- tinued drought through the central and western states, which, in connection with the high temperature, caused con- siderable damage to the outdoor crops. With the usual summer supply cut off. the out-of-town buyers had to turn to the Chicago market. Carnations are almost out of the question at present, with roses, asters, gladioli and lilie? about the only flowers worthy of cop sideration. Beauties are fairly plentiful, but an well cleaned up each day. They carry good buds, as a rule, and in foliage they are all that anyone could desire. Th( longer grades are least plentifii, Thi Killarneys and Maryland are in larger supply than the other tea roses and those possessing quality have been bringing the growers excellent returns for this time of the year. In the yel- lows there is also a good supply, espe- cially of Sunburst, and with increased popularity they move well. Milady and RiuBMll sell on sight. So many growers noW^re cutting the first crop of the season ^Utat there is a gkit of short, weak roses and only extremely low w , Tva. ,^ - ■■■ A^ ■ • ■>' • •■ ,^,: ^r" '.''f--r .-T'^ •' -■•■ i-."- AcousT 14, 1913.

The crop is heavy and the stock fine; plenty of medium to long roses, the scarce kind. Note we have a full line, the varieties that every retailer needs in quantity : Milady, Sunburst, Ward, Bulgarie, Radiance, Killar- ney and White Killarney. BEAUTIES We are headquarters for Beauties in the middle west. We aim to be able to* supply our friends who wholesale cut flowers, but of course our Re- tailer customers have first call. We aim always to have Beauties in the ice- box awaiting your wire, but there is no doubt of our ability to supply anything you want in Beauties if we have your order early in the day. This season we have the cut from 170,000 Beauty plants. Not much danger of our running short, is there? FANCY DAISIES Now that daisies are practically out of the market, buyers will be glad to know that we have a crop that is first-class in every particular. It is not Shasta, but a seedling raised by one of our own growers, so near like Shasta that few will note the difference in the flower. FANCY ASTERS There are simply oceans of cheap asters, but not very many strictly fancy ones. We can supply the cheap kind, too, if you want them, but what we specially want to call your attention to is our supply of strictly fancy, long-stemmed high grade asters in three colors, white, pink and lavender. Nobody can complain of the quality of these. GLADIOLI We can supply America, Augusta and King, the three best sellers, in any quantity. FANCY VALLEY You can depend upon us at all times for valley.

We are buying in such large quantities that many articles we can sell for what smaller pl^alers pay — and on no article whatever in the whole list of Florists' Supplies can we be llndersold by anyone who filJs orders with goods of equal quality. Our line is absolutely complete. We have everything, including many articles not to be had elsewhere.

Asters are being shipped in large quantities in spite of the unfavorable weather conditions that prevailed up to August 10, but the greater part of them are of poor quality. They receive little attention from the buyers unless they show good stem and flowers. Those that lacK in quality can hardly be moved at any price. The same is true of the gladioli, which are a drug at present. It appears to be about the height of the season. It is a notable feature that the enormous receipts con- sist almost exclusively of the besf named varieties, but the prices that have to be accepted to secure a clean-up are the prices that formerly prevailed for mixtures. Easter lilies appear to be more plentiful than heretofore and there are large quantities of both ru- brum and auratum lilies on the market. With increased supplies of roses, asters and gladioli, the lilies do not attract any unusual amount of attention, al- though they show good quality. Valley is in good supply but, while there is no heavy demand, there Is no oversupply. CattleyaS are scarce and the demand is stronger. Daisies are no longer seen in | quantity. Sweet peas are not abun- dant; there are scarcely any good ones. It certainly has been a bad season for the growers of outdoor peas.

Club Meeting. With the business of the evening in- terspersed between selections by Crea- tore's famous band, like a stack of wheatcakes and maple syrup, the Chi- cago Florists ' Club held a most pleasant meeting at Sans Souci August 7, as the guests of O. J. Friedman, a club mem- ber who is part owner of the park. When the band struck up President French declared a recess; when the mu- sic stopped, . business was resumed. About forty were present. F. .1. Rose and Ben Grupe were, elect- ed! to membership and the application of James Morton was received. The resignation of M. H. Mann, of Zech & Mann, was accepted. C. W.

The gentleman claims that his company has registered as a trade mark with the secretary of state the names Table Christmas Tree, Little Christmas Tree, Baby Christmas Tree, etc., so that no one else has the right to use these names in Illinois. Asked if he had any court decisions as to the validity of his trade-mark registration he said that it bad not been tested in a Christmas tree case but that many other similar cases had been decided in favor of the par- ties owning the trade marks. August Poehlmann can tell his friends at the convention a few things about the joys of automobiles.

As- sisted by bis son Boland and brother Adolph, who was following in his ma- chine, Mr. Poehlmann waded in up to his shoulders and carried the occupants of the buggy to dry land.

It was voted then to ask the National I'lower Show committee to recommend that the S. A. F. hold the next national exhibition in Philadelphia. Wm. Tricker made an informal address. What the Craigs Are Doing. The erection of the large addition to the plant of the Eobert Craig Co., at Norwood, Pa., last summer has given opportunity for these able growers to show what they can do. Their first aim has been to develop the production of flowering plants suitable for the two {.Teat Christian holidays, Easter and Christmas, and incidentally of the foli- ;»5e plants best suited to go with them. I heir second aim has been the develop- "lont of the croton and of the dracaena. The crotons have responded wonder- ' "Hy to the fine Lord & Burnham houses "I'd to the even finer cultural skill lav- ished upon them. They propagate with "le ease of the geranium; they grow *^ jth the vigor of a weed; they color ^yth the tints of the rainbow. Given ;l>ese facts, it is not difficult to fancy •lotons a little better than have ever ''ofore been produced. This is unvar- '"shed truth; such a wealth of croton 'olor has never been seen on one place '•t'fore. There are whole blocks of a single variety colored with dazzling FLOWERS FOR PARADES DURING th« •ummer month* you can pick up a good bust- nese on decorations for parades, festivals, home comings, street carnivals, etc. Our line of artificial flowers is the most complete of any in the country and our huge factory allows us the room to keep a big surplus on hand.

BOTANICAL DECORATING CO., 504 S. Fifth Ave., CHICAQO, ILL. Mention The Review when yon write. brilliancy; there are varieties that have been considered so scarce that many a horticulturist has shown a single speci- men with pride. There are broad-leaved varieties and the variety with narrow leaves, so favored by our English cous- ins. The vigor of growth becomes ap- parent when the size of a plant in a 4-inch pot, for instance, is contrasted with the size of plants usually seen in 4-inch; the grower would wonder whether it would be too hard to pro- duce such plants in a reasonable time. In other words, the croton standard has been raised. The specimen crotons are beautiful. They are made up like our kentias and arecas, with a strong plant in the center and a number of those sturdy, well feathered 4-inch plants around it; the effect is striking. It is Norwood's ambition to place the dracaena standard as far in the van as the standard of the croton. To this end a collection of some twenty of the newer and of the scarcer varie- ties have been added to the standards; to these, seedlings are being added. To further this ambition, tables of young plants have been planted out expressly for stock purposes. Valuable varieties are sacrificed in order to produce per- fect young plants. The idea is that the time has come when this country should produce its own dracscnas of the higher grades — plants that have not suffered from a long ocean voyage in early infancy, but can be delivered in perfect condition and with undimin- "-i-?yy^-"~'-»i«:7"''vr:'";";'F^mni 1 ii!i mwuiwuiiii, ' ^^^?!fW^WF!S'r^W''r^^ ■'T*"-1J^ vT TIk Florists' Rcviitw < August 14, 1913. NOTICE! August 12th. 1913. The House of Michell extends a cor- dial iDvitation to all florists in the trade to attend a Special Inspection Trip to their experimental garden at Andalusia on Wednesday, Aug. 27lh. For the accommodation of the guests, a special train has been chartered which leaves Broad Street Station, Philadelphia.atlLloa.ni.on said date. Those who wish to atten*! should promptly notify the Henry F. Michell • Co., 518 Market St , and receive a rec- ognition tag, so that they can be easily recognized by the reception committee when they arrive at Ihe station. Refreshments will be served at the gardens, and the return will be be- tween 4 and 5 o'clock, so as to give all those who attend plenty of time to spend the evening in town. Yours very truly, HENRY F. MICHELL CO. Mention Tlie Review wlieu you write. ished vigor. The work with the dra- ca'nas has gone far enough to pass the. first discouragements and fill the work- ers with hope that their ambition will be speedily realized. The JJMpty of the dracffnas now in medilim^ized pots is excellent. Already they are here and there showing signs of that bright color that gladdens the heart of the grower two months hence. They have sub- Btance, those dracaenas, in many of the novelties equal to the standard, and their habit of growth is pleasing. A dozen dracaenas, in a dozen good varie- ties— that is what Norwood is preparing to oflfer. Is not that a rarity? • Among the ferns, Nephrolepis Smithii is being grown in quantities as a most desirable fern for hampers and baskets. It is graceful, compact and lasting; added to these virtues is the negative one of not decaying in the center. N. Smithii can be produced in fine shape in 4-inch pots. All the leading members of the Boston family are grown in sizes ranging from 2-inch to 11-inch. Even Teddy, Jr., who means to give N. Scottii a run for first place in the compact class, is there. The cyclamens being prepared for December arte doing wonders at Nor- wood. The picked plants are already in 7-inch pots, looking remarkably well. There is a little wrinkle in these cycla- men houses whereby a piece of iron pipe, attached to a rope and pulley, rolls and unrolls tobacco cloth on the ridge pole of the roof in almost no time — a big stride forward over the old slat-covered houses. There are two houses of fine arecas in 8-inch and 10-inch that evidence cul- ture. They are especially intended to fill the want that so often exists in the late faJl, Begonias, both Lorraine and CinciMBH.' attf^ in the knee-breeches stagejgrhe Q>f»t interesting member of thAPfnily is the little ever-bloomer of Venion type and Lorraine freedom that is now so popular. Euphorbia Poinsettia is still another plant that is bent on record-breaking at Norwood. There are so many of them already that their number is whis- pered, lest its size' appall. They root readih' here. The.y fill a real need at Christmas, a need which it is clear will be filled this season. The fields near by are filled with toses; on one side the 2-year-olds niain- Penn's .

A series of terrific storms visited this city on the evening of August 10. The worst sufferer was August Doem- ling, of Lansdowne, who lost one-half of his new house, 100x300, which had just been completed. Mr. Doemli also suffered slight damage to his older houses. This was mosi fortiinate. George Burton, moor, had his heiV bricic stack witify' ''^ > ", damaged. Qeorgfi E.

Cincinnati, Ohio CINOINNATI. Tbe Gateway to tbe South. During last week business showed a decided falling off. The opening day of this week was a poor ont tor a lion- day. There was really no active de- mand for any one flower and some of the best of stock failed to clean up. Cut flower receipts of all seasonable kinds are increasing daily. Quite a few good early asters are coming in from out of town. The good stock has been meeting with fair request. The mar- ket is crowded with gladioli. Only the best sell at all well. Other stock must be sacrificed in order to move it. Bose receipts, too, are larger. The best have been cleaning up, but there are many consecutive days when they fail to do so. The call for good Beauties is ex- cellent. The supply of giganteum lilies is adequate, but much larger cuts are promised by the growers for the next fortnight. Auratum lilies have been proving fairly good property. Other offerings are hardy hydrangeas, phlox, Golden Glow and the like. The green goods market shows an ample supply in most lines. Smilax, however, is on the short side. Various Notes, T, Ben George, Miss Edith Kyrk and A. Heckman are the rival entrants for prizes at the floral exhibition at the Carthage fair this week.

Arthur Newell was busy all the week on funeral work. He says he finds it difficult to procure enough good stock, but in the last week he has received some fine asters from the Chicago market. The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. has been busy all the week with funeral work. At present the firm can hardly get enough stock from its green- houses at Pleasant Hill. The Alpha Floral Co. reports a heavy business in out-of-town funeral work for the last week. W. J.

Retail florists say there is noth- ing of any importance going on and the only business done is funeral work. As to cut stock at the wholesale markets, we can say that there now are plenty of roses, some extra long and of good qual- ity, but the greater part short and poor. Carnations have shortened up considerably of late and the few that come in are extremely poor.* Asters are better and all the houses can supply any number in all colors. There were quite a few Easter lilies, offered at $10 per hundred for extra fine quality. Single everblooming tuberoses are beginning to come in heavily and quite a stock of them can be looked f jr from now on. Gladioli are still crowding the market and consignments are seldom cleaned up at any time. There is a good call for smilax, but the market has none. Fancy ferns and asparagus had an extra good call last week. Prices remain as reported in the last issue. Club Meeting. The annual meeting of the St. Louis Florists' Club was held Thursday, Au- gust 7, at 2 o'clock, in Odd Fellows hall. The special features of the meet- ing were the election of officers, flower show and S. A. F. convention matters.

Weber pre- sided, with all the other officers present. Wm. Ossick, chairman of the trus- tees, gave a report of the costs and ex- penditures of the recent picnic, and a vote of thanks was extended the trus- tees for the success of the outing. The flower show committee reported that the $2,000 fund was progressing nicely and that nearly $1,500 had been sub- scribed. Frank Robinson, who will manage the show, spoke of the progress made. After Mr. Robinson's remarks, it was voted to offer $100 in prizes for the show in the name of the St. Louis Florists' Club. The trustees are to act as a committee to confer with the St. Louis pageant committee. Applications for membership were re- ceived from Ernest Strehle, superin- tendent of parks; John Moriz, foreman of Forrest park greenhouses; Domic Bova, Max L. Pelletier and John Ny- flot. Those elected to membership were Frank M. Robinson and Wm. Bouche. Fdwin Denker, state vice-president of the S. A. F., reported that everything was in readiness for the trip to Minne- apolis and that about thirty-two from St. Louis would make the trip, includ- ing a number of ladies. The result of the election was as fol- lows: President, Walter J. Pilcher; vice-president, Adolph Jaenicke; secre- tary, J. J. Beneke; treasurer, William C. Smith; trustee for three years, Frank Windier. The other two trustees, Wm. Ossick and John Connon, hold over. HUGO H. JAHN 710 Noetrand Avenue* 1^1.

There was some discus- sion of questions handed to the secre- tary. Adolph Jaenicke will read a paper on "Casing Against White Fly" at the September meeting of the club. This should prove interesting, as the request came from several growers. The rest of the evening was taken up with a general talk on S. A. F. conven- tion and flower show matters. The con- ventionists all leave here Thursday morning, August 14, on the steamer Quincy and arrive on Monday, August 17, at St. Paul, proceeding thence to the convention city. The next meeting of the club will be held Thursday, September 11, when the installation of officers will take place. Various Notes. Miss Ella Weber, bookkeeper for F. C. Weber, left August 10 for a ten days' vacation trip to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Prof. H. C. Irish, member of the Missouri State Board of Horticulture, left August 7 for the southwestern part of the state to attend the meeting of the board and look over the peach crop. Frank M.

Mr. Winter attended the County Growers' Club meeting the same night and re- ceived hearty congratulations from his many friends. Mrs. Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood, vis- ited friends and relatives in Iowa and Wisconsin last week. She reports a most enjoyable trip. The stork made its appearance at the home of R. J.

John Milhaupt, a retired florist, and John Mackle, a florist at 4328 Arco avenue, had a narrow escape from death last week, when a horse they were driv- ing took fright at an automobile. The wagon was overturned and both men were taken out unconscious, but were soon revived and taken to their homes in a badly shaken-up condition. The County Growers' Club held an interesting meeting August 6, at the Eleven Mile house. All the officers and twenty-seven members were pfesent. There was a lot of business to transact, the main thing being the St. Louis flower show. Treasurer Pilcher circu- lated a paper and quite a sum was sub- scribed. Four applications were re- ceived.

New Seedling Varieties. • Our new Seedling Crotons, some of which we disseminated in June, 1911, are varieties that should be in every grower's and private person's collection. They are far superior to many of the older varieties of Crotons and the types range from narrow to very large leaf. We particularly call your attention to our set of thirteen, named after the "Thirteen Original States," which have won highest honor wherever shown. 4-inch pots, strong plants, $3 each, $30 per doz., $200 per 100. 6-incb and 7-incb pots, larger plants, $3.50, $4 and 9o each. Croton Leaves and Sprays. Cut Croton leaves and sprays have been supplied by us in the past few years to some of the leading retail florists, who have featured them in man- tel, table and funeral work. They are also espe- cially attractive to use with Chrysaivthemums. Cut Crotons will last in a cool place from three to four weeks. We can supply them every day in the year, very highly colored sprays, at 25t-'»yi». ADGOST 14, 1918. The Florists^ Review 53 to illustrate their ad.

A Grand New Dwarf Fern, "Teddy Jr." "TEDDY JUNIOR, " the Fern for Ev^y House- hold— It is a sport from the now famous Roose- velt Fern, and while its habit of growth is to produce a shorter frond, it retains all the valu- able characteristics of the parent plant. The fronds are broad and beautifully tapered from base to tip; they droop Just enough to make a shapely, graceful plant, permitting it to ' finish with a fine full center and perfect symmetrical spread. The pinnae are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive wavy appear- ance, which adds materially to their charming decorative efTect, and thin, scraggy foliage is never seen in this variety. "Teddy" will pro- duce about four times more fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, finishing with fifty to sixty fronds In a four-inch pot, while twelve to fifteen is the average number other varieties will produce in the same size pot. It is such a compact, vigorous grower that it will thrive under most adverse conditions, making an ex- ceptionally rapid growth and producing a plant of rare beauty and perfection in the average dwelling house without special care or attention. Owing to its habit of producing the great quan- tity of massive foliage in small pots, this Fern makes the finest pedestal plant ever pro- duced, and will prove indispensable for decorat- ing dining room or library tables and numerous other places in the home where limited space will not permit using large pots or varieties with longer fronds. As a table decoration, fern growers can appreciate the commercial value of a dwarf variety that will produce forty to fifty fronds twelve to fifteen Inches long In a four- inch pot. Such plants could readily be disposed of and every grower can produce them from "Teddy Junior" with as little care and expense as they can grow other varieties. Fine young plants from SU-inoh poti, 40 cents e«ch; $8,50 per docen; $26,00 per hundred; $800,00 per thou- sand. Nephrolepis Giatrasii. Sport of Neph. Bostonlensis.

This beautiful fern is quite dlBtinct from all of the other varieties of the Boston Fern In so much that it lias been raised from the Japan spe- cies Nephrolepis Tuberosa, which type is much hardier than the Exfiltata. The fronds are long and narrow, the pinnules beautiful plumose, which are of light color, giving the fronds a beautiful effect on account of the two distinct shades, as well as its graceful waviness, and will be found a great and distinct addition to collection ferns. 21/4 -Inch pots. $16 per 100; $140 per 1000. 4-inch pots, $25 per 100; $225 per 1000.

It has been generally understood that the German seed growers were this year enjoying as favorable conditions as prevail anywhere in the world, and much better than the California grow- ers have to contend with. But late reports from Erfurt indicate that some uneasiness is being occasioned by the continued overcast skies; the growers appear to be getting nervous while waiting for the sun to come out and mature the crops. The season started early, but is now at least a fortnight late. While there was little heat and almost no rain up to well into July, the seasonal average of precipitation was maintained by the continuous rains that came in the lat- ter part of July. Growth with most crops is robust, but warm, bright sum- mer weather is badly needed to induce a timely maturity. It is said that parsley is in splendid ' shape, while carrot and parsnip also are in flourishing condition. Neither radish nor lettuce is giving excep- tional promise, but both nevertheless are good. Turnip promises an average crop. Cabbage, cauliflower and the other members of the brassica family are all that could be expected, indi- cating full crops. Beet stands fairly well. Onion is in fine shape.

WILLIAM L. ROCK PERFECTION SPENCER— One of our most highly prized and beautiful origina- tions although it is not yet fully fixed.

Bloomhurst Spencer Orchid Mixture. While this mixture contains Spencer Winter bloomers, we wish our customers to know that there will no doubt be the Grandiflora and Unwin type among them, due to the fact that many Spencers sport back. However, the colors are all very beautiful, and they are immense in size. We do not feel that it is yet time for the Spen- cers to supersede the beautiful Grandifloras and Unwin Winter-Flowering varieties from the fact that the lat- ter are much superior as shippers, keepers and trueness to color. 1 oz., $1.50; ^ lb., $5.00.

AUGUSTFOR DOLLARS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ August is the time of sowing for the biggest results from SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON from seed. Seed for the accom- panying picture was sown August 18. By sowing at once a full crop can be had at Easter, which will continue until July, being heaviest at Memorial Day, when this picture was taken. We have said that there was nothing in sight but blossoms and dollars, and it is a fact. Silver Pink from seed is easy to grow and anyone can do as well by following directions. Whether you grow Snapdragons from seed or cuttings, they should be timed to flower with as little pinching as possible. Plants produced ahead of time and held back by pinching lose vitality and often throw blind shoots. By sowing seed now and pinching once you will have fine, stocky plants, ready for the bench in November. Our free cultural directions cover all of the necessary points for success with Silver Pink from seed. You will note bow successful many of our patrons have been. Oude Bros., Washintrton, D. C, with their six acres of glass and the highest class trade in the country, say it is the best they have seen. C. L. Howe, Dover, N. H., with bis acres of glass and chain of stores, says It is fine and that h) never had so many snapdragon blossoms. Mr. J. Geo. Jurgens, for Arthur Cock- croft, Northport, N. Y., who does an immense wholesale business, says It is the only one to stow, and that Silver Pink will GO IT ALONE with them this year. Many more strong letters could be given but further proof is not necessary. These are wide-awake florists who do business for profit. What is profitable and good for the big growers is as good or better for tlie smaller grower with retail trade, where a steady supply of blossoms is required. You can cut and cut from a bed of seedling Silver Pink and each cut will make more blossoms. But sow seed at once for best results. Price of seed, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 pkts.. $2.50; 7 pkts., $5.00, by mail. Cash, please. Plants sold out until October. Quite a few shrewd florists are buying the larger amount of seed and will market their surplus plants. G. S. RAMSBURG, Somersworth, N. H. Mpntlon The RptIpw when yon write. look like an average yield, but the wet weather has not helped them and the crop could under no circumstances make up any shortage elsewhere. Sweet peas promise fairly well, but the weather also has been against them and the shortage reported from Cali- fornia can not be relieved from Ger- man crops. Ten weeks' stocks are likely to turn out short of the re- quirements and conditions are such that the growers fear the proportion of doubles will be reduced. The peren- nial plants are in flower later than usual and the annuals are growing vig- orously. The weather is in favor of planting of biennials, but settled, bright weather is needed for almost all crops. CLEVELAND, O. The Market. Gladioli are holding full sway at this writing, with asters a close second. Some fine America, Augusta and other popular sorts are seen. The new crop carnations are in, but not in quantity. Giganteum lilies are fine and sold well up to the glut of gladioli, which has first call. Business is light, few buy- ing more than just enough to see them through the day. Various Notes.

When near the close of harvest- ing an immense crop of sweet peas, with such stems and flowers that they brought double price, he put in potted plants of Comet tomatoes close to the roots of the peas. In two weeks from the time the last peas were cut and the vines were removed, he began picking tomatoes and the crop appeared like magic. He is selling them for 12 cents per pound in 100-pound lots.

At present he will carry on the work himself. Mr. Bartcher is also planning the erection of several green- houses and upon their completion will grow flowers for the local trade. Colma, Cal. — S. Bosaia Co., which has violet farms at Colma, South City and Halfmoon Bay, has contracted with some of the largest violet growers on the Pacific coast to handle the coming season's crop. Among those contracted with are George Lagarmisaino & Co., Colma; Bosaia Bros., of South San Fran- cisco, and E. Lavazzolo & Co., of Half- moon Bay. Silvio Bosaia is known among his friends as the violet king of California. San Gabriel, Cal. — Budolph Fisher, originator of Freesia Purity, is building ten greenhouses, doubling his area. His experience in the last two seasons, in which frost played havoc with his crops even though in protected situations, has convinced him that it is safest to grow freesia bulbs under glass even in "the land of sunshine." He has a number of novelties that he says he never will risk in the open. They include freesias in such colors as pink, lavender, red and yellow. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Business is the same as reported last week; there is little call for stock. As- ters are becoming more plentiful, but there is not as yet a surplus of them. Sweet peas are not good and prove poor keepers. Auratum and rubrum lilies are plentiful, and, although not in much demand, make a good appearance in the windows. Carnations are scarce and of poor quality. Gladioli are unusually fine and sell well, considering the de- mand. Orchids and valley are scarce and not in much demand. Several elaborate weddings have been booked for September, calling for considerable choice stock. The first mums of the reason were displayed last week. Varioiis Notes. H. E. Weed, of the Beaverton Nurs- ery Co., entertained the members of the Florists' Club, August 3. While the attendance was disappointing, those who attended had an enjoyable time. Refreshments were served in elegant style. The phenomenal growth of the place was surprising to all. A. B. Cherry, of the La Grande Seed & Floral Co., at La Grande, Ore., was in town last week, buying stock and material, as he is making many im- provements at his place and adding about 5,000 feet of glass to his range. Frank Chervenka has returned from his vacation of several weeks in Cali- fornia. Auguste Nonin, of Paris, and J. L. Legendre, of Orleans, France, have been ^ tourioA the west on a pleasure trip. ' Mr. Nonin was called home by his government from here to serve in the standing army. Julius Broetje has a fine crop of water lilies, which is being readily dis- posed of on the local market. W. C. Hoffman is the possessor of a new Studebaker car. R. L. Scott left last week for Cali- fornia with a full line of Lion & Co. samples. He reports business' quite sat- isfactory on his northern trip. J. R. Fotheringham dropped in un- heralded from the south. He reports business extremely satisfactory. L. H. Forshaw, of Pendleton, Ore., is on an extensive eastern trip. E. R. C. LOS ANGELES, OAL. The Market. Business is running along on about an even keel. There is no great "rush at any time; yet, for the season, trade is quite satisfactory. The gladiolus still holds the field as a showy, useful flower. Dahlias are becoming more plentiful; there are some magnificent delphiniums and the odor of the pretty Belladonna lily is plainly noticeable in all the stores. Indoor carnations are a vanishing quantity and the few that do come in have little advantage over the outdoor stock, which is in the "also ran" class. Roses are coming freely from young stock. Sunburst being among the most popular. At the Pasadena Picnic. Sunday, August 3, will long be re- membered by the boys of Pasadena and Los Angeles. The occasion was the annual picnic of the Pasadena Horti- cultural Society, to which the L. A. brethren were invited. The special train from Pasadena got away in good time. While personally I can not vouch for it, a charming young lady, well known in the trade, is authority for the statement that President McGilvray was kept busy quite a' long time sew- ing the ribbons on the shirt waists and dresses worn on the occasion by the Pasadena sisters. As a friend of his said, "You gotta hand it to Jim." President Winsel, of the L. A. Horticul- tural Society, took down about twenty members and friends in his new auto delivery car and gave all a sumptuous lunch, which made Billy Felgate say, "You gotta hand it to him too." The tug of war was one of the most popular events. The Pasadena line-up consisted of Messrs. James and Alec McGilvray, Feldman, Watson, Hutch- ison, McFarlane, Clemence and Kirby. On the Los Angeles end of the rope were Messrs. Winsel, Richards, Fel- gate, Charles, Gilbert, AUis, Luc and Kuntz. They say the only reason Pasa- dena lost was that Rob McKenzie was not on that side — a base libel, according to Mr. Felgate, who offered to pull them to Sierra Madre. The fat men's race created some en- thusiasm; so, also, did the ladies' races, in which Miss Sadie Thomas and the Misses Morris took part, the younger Miss Morris winning somewhat easily. All went swimmingly — some went swim- ming when the pace was too hot ashore — and there was not a single discordant ADVANCE ORDERS, 1913 FALL DELIVERY, OF JAPANESE LILY BULBS and SEEDS Writ* for Catalogu* to The Oriental Seed Co., Wholesale Chrowers 220 Clement St- SAN FRANCISCO.

AH decided that the Pasadena boys had ' ' done themselves proud ' ' and deserved the heartiest thanks of the sister city. Various Notes. Eldred's Flower Shop must be forg- ing ahead. At any rate, Mr. Eldred is. in his new Studebaker 30. W. Annacost & Co. have completed and planted the new greenhouses, as mentioned recently, and have started on another house, 27x185. A consign- ment of orchids from the Freeman Or- chid Co., Fall River, Mass., has been put in, besides a number of other nov- elties in the plant line. Frank Lichtenberg is highly pleased with the way things are coming in his new store and says that, notwithstand- ing the disturbance consequent on re- moval, the trade has been better than for the same period last year. His loca- tion on Sixth street takes a lot of the auto traflSc from the Westlake park dis- trict. F. Sperry, of the Los Angeles Flower Market, was on duty alone for several days last week, C. Morton's tooth hav- ing eventually made him lay oflf for a time. Business kept up at its usual clip. The usual monthly meeting of the Los Angeles Horticultural Society was held August 5, at Kruckeberg's hall, but the attendance was small. Arrange- ments were made for all that could do so to attend the joint meeting of the Arboricultural Society at Pasadena, September 3 and 4. C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery Co., left August 8 for a deer hunting trip. Stock looks fine at the green- houses and trade is good. Dieterich & Turner continue to send out large consignments of young rose stock, and, to judge by the bunch of men and boys at work in the packing shed recently, no one would imagine it was so late in the season. On look- ing through the young stock, I found the popular kinds in the finest of health and I have never seen plants made from young stock so quickly as at this famous place this season. Killarney Queen is magnificent, both in foliage and flower, the color being such as to delight a connoisseur. Milady is a good grower. Sunburst is perfect in every way. Taft has only one fault here, according to Mr. Turner, and that is there is not enough of it. About the new ones coming along, emanating from the home place, I can say nothing as yet, but there is more than one sur- prise in store. J. Dieterich and family left here for a trip to San Diego, August -• Mr. Dieterich is apparently quite at home in the management of his Hen- derson car. Albert Knopf, of the Redondo Floral Co., returned to work August 1, and "9 he came in Brother Borden had his Studebaker tuned up ready for the trip to San Juan Capistrano and other points. Business keeps up at the store. H. R. Richards. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market. All the carnation growers are chang- ing the beds in their houses at the pres- ent time, and, as a consequence, there 's a lack of good long-stemmed stock.

Chrysanthe- mums of the early yellow varieties are coming into town jn fairly large quan- tities, but they are not moving as rap- idly as they will when they become cheaper. Dahlias are good, and such varieties as Thompson and Minnie Bur- gle have ready sale. Gladioli are past their prime, but there is still a good de- mand for America and Augusta. These cost the retailers from $2 to $3 per hun- dred. Roses are generally poor, and it will be several weeks before we can get any good stock. Valley is not so plenti- ful as it has been and is well cleaned up. Japanese lilies are good sellers, and none of them has gone to waste so far this season. Trade is quiet, but the prospects are for an early increase. Various Notes. The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- ciety held its regular meeting on the evening of August 2. Thomas Monroe exhibited some of the finest single seed- ling dahlias ever shown here. Tassano Bros., of Los Angeles, have opened a branch store in Oakland, and are supplying the retailers in that town with green goods. A visit to the nurseries established for the growing of young stock for the coming Pan-American exposition shows hundreds of thousands of evergreens and bedding stock all in the best .pos- sible condition. John McLaren is at the head of the department attending to this branch of the work. The picnic of the Retail Florists' Association at Giant Canyon, Sunday, August 3, was the most successful ever held. All the stores closed for the day, and practically all the retailers, grow- ers and their employees availed them- selves of the outing. Mrs. Ellen Sessions, aunt of Kate O. and Frank Sessions, of San Diego, was buried in this city August 9. The inter- ment was in Cypress Lawn cemetery. G. W. A. Seeger, manager of the Mul- lanphy Flower Co., of St. Louis, Mo., was in town last week. A TBAILING COLEUS. Referring to an inquiry in The Re- view of June 24, page 56, under the heading of "Coleus for Hanging Bas- kets," we wish to say that we have been growing a weeping coleus for the last few years, under the name of Cecil Brown, and listed it in our 1913 cata- logue. It is free growing, of weeping habit, has small foliage, yellow and pink center, bordered with maroon and green. It is said to be an old English variety. We picked it up from a neigh- bor and know nothing of its origin. Under separate cover we are mailing you a plant, and if we are mistaken as to its name or identity we shall be pleased to be corrected. R. V. J. & S. The plant arrived in good condition. This certainly seems to be a true trail- ing or creeping coleus and should be useful for baskets, vases and window boxes. I had not come across it before. C. W.

Wisconsin has appropriated $3,000 with which the state nursery department is to make investigations to ascertain methods of eradicating the grasshopper and white grub worm. The organization of the nurserymen of the state of Illinois is being discussed. One meeting has been held, but it brought out an inadequate attendance, although many wrote that they were in sympathy with the project. Business has been so heavy with the Gardner Nursery Co., of Osage, la., that two new tracts of land have been pur- chased to increase the capacity of the concern. Thirty-eight acres are planted solidly to the new everbearing straw- berries. The hot weather, the hottest in twenty-five years, has been damaging everything outdoors in Tennessee. A cor- respondent from Nashville writes: "Out- door stock could not look much worse and live. Many of the spring-set trees and much of the shrubbery are dying, es- pecially where there is no opportunity to water, ' ' In Idaho, where several inspection cases of note have originated, there are now fifty-four nurserymen to 123 two years ago. The state inspector, John U. McPherson, who made this statement at the nurserymen 's convention at Payette, at the same time advocated the payment of the expense of nursery inspection by the state, just as in the case of orchard inspection. The Georgia State Horticultural So- ciety will hold its annual meeting at Clayton, August 19 and 20. The officers of the organization are as follows: President, E. C. Berckmans, of the Fruit- land Nurseries, Augusta; vice-president, B. W. Hunt, of Eatonton; secretary, Dr. T. H. McHatton, professor of horti- culture at the State Agricultural Col- lege, and J. B. Wright, of Cairo. EMPHASISING QUALITY. A retail nurseryman who grows good stock finds it unnecessary to meet price competition; there are plenty of people who will pay fair prices for good stock. All that is necessary is to emphasize quality in the advertising, and see that the stock makes good on the claims. The following is reprinted from a card that is enclosed with all mail quota- tions: A (FEW QUESTIONS AND 'FACTS. How do you buy your shrubs? Do you think only of the height and price? Or do you pay more attention to the root sys- tem and top development? Do you plant three shrubs where one would produce the effect? If we could show you that the preliminary work of planting and the maintenance after planting could be cut down two-thirds, would you buy of us? Note the following: Our shrubs are grown in light, rich loam. They are planted in rows over three feet apart, and In the row are given a chance for full top development. The shrubs have been transplanted and tbe root systems pruned by hand, not machine pruned a> thejr stand in the ground. Our shrubs require more space by two-thlrda than tbe ordinary shrubs. Therefore, one shrub will do more good at lett' cost than three ordinary shrubs. Our prices are not as low as the majority of dealers^, but we think that the above explana- tion will justify in your minds the added cost. Our trees are given as much care and attention in growing as our shrubs. Give us a trial and see for yourself. Do you ever have occasion to consult with a landscape gardener? If so, our landscape department Is at your service. , Send In your list of wants. EEQULATINO THE SUPPLY. In discussing nursery conditions in the northwest at the Idaho nursery- men's convention recently, Albert Brownell, of Portland, quoted from a tabulated statement made from the re- ports of ten of the leading nursery- men of Oregon and Washington, who, Mr. Brownell estimates, produce ninety per cent of the nursery stock grown in those states. The names of these firms are not made public, but their sales lor the last year and the amount of stock growing during this season ap- pear in carefully tabulated form. To illustrate, of a certain variety of apple, a stated number of thousands of trees were sold during the year 1912, whicli was the best guide to be had of the wants of the public for the current year. In some items the statistics show a larger quantity of stock in process of production than would be indicated as desired by the purchasing public. These tables give the number of grafts planted, the number of stocks budded and growing, the number of stocks planted to be budded, and so on through the various departments of stock grown.

These tables are prepared by the secretary of the association, and are then available to the firms that exchange this information. This con- cert of action should be -extremely help- ful ifi guarding against overproduction. BLIOHT ON MAPLES. Enclosed you will find some maple leaves that are blighted, and also some leaves from the same tree which show no sign of the disease. Will you kindly give us some information about the trouble? A. F. K. C. The blight on your maples does not appear to me to be really serious. The cause is probably some climatic condi- tion peculiarly favorable to the devel- opment of the disease, and it may. not trouble you another season.

Vick, of Rochester, superin- tendent of the floral department of the state fair to be held here September 8 to 13, is a busy man these days, mak- ing preparations for the coming show, which he intends shall eclipse all pre- vious ones. Floral hall will be made a veritable beauty spot, as part of the building will be laid out as a flower garden with turfed lawns, flower beds, walks and trellises covered with vines, etc. Lord & Burnham will erect a green- house, 40x60 feet, complete with boiler and pipes, and the benches will be filled with a splendid collection of plants. This of itself will prove a great draw- ing card. A fine band will be in at- tendance each day, and it goes with- out saying that Floral hall will be the Mecca for all visitors. The premium list this year calls for nearly $3,000 for plants, designs and cut flowers, which should insure a large entry list. Mr, Vick's ability as an organizer is well known. This year he has chosen Henry Youell, financial sec- retary of the American Gladiolus So- ciety, as his assistant. Premium lists may be had free by addressing A. E. Brown, secretary New York State Fair, Syracuse, N. Y. Entries close August 30. As it is difficult to obtain accommo- dation at the hotels during fair week, Mr, Youell will gladly recommend re- spectable and reasonable places to those who will write him at his address, 538 Cedar street, Syracuse, N.

The FIorists^ Review 71 The Best That The Future Has To Offer IT IS our custom to handle only varieties we believe to be worthy of a place in the best commercial establishments. The new Roses we have offered in past seasons have made a reputation for them- selves and the character of stock we have sent out has made an enviable reputation for our firm. HWe offer Killarney Brilliant in the belief that it is the coming standard of perfection. We have arranged with the originators for eyes for grafting purposes. We can supply any quantity you may require. Killarney Brilliant A sport from Killarney, grown In the open ground in England. Killarney was introduced in 1898, and since then there have been so many sports that Killarney has developed into a type rather than a variety. Messrs. Alexander Dickson & Sons, the original intro- ducers, are to be congratulated, sixteen years after the advent of Killarney, in giving us now this distinct novelty which is undoubt- edly the best of all varieties of this type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of growth and the &ame freedom of bloom as its parent, while the flower is twice as large, having 2.') to 40 full-sized petals. It will be as useful for Summer blooming as for Winter forcing. The color is a very brilliant pink and varies like Killarney; in bright weather it is almost crimson, and in dull weather, when Killarney is so pale, it is as bright as Killarney at Its best. The sale of Killarney Brilliant a year before its introduction has been larger than that of any other Rose ever sent out in this country. Grafted Plants, 75c each; $7.50 per dozen; $35 00 per 100; $300.00 per 1000. A. N. PIERSON, Inc., New Caimtiw Gbria (H. W. Field and A. N. Pierson, Inc.) In offering this new Carnation to the trade, we offer what we believe to be a paying commercial variety; strong in growth, making a quantity of flowering shoots rather than wonderful length of individual stems. In color, the brightest pink we hare ever seen in a carnation, and a color that will sell, which, com- bined with good calyx, fair-sized bloom and great production, makes this an attractive proposition to a man who knows Carna- tions. Rooted Cuttings for December, $12.00 per 100 $100.00 per 1000. Enchantress Supreme As the best of the Enchantress family it needs no description. An improvement in color, in form of flower on a race of Carna- tions that have stood the test of time. We have a large stock. Rooted Cuttings for December and later, $6.0J per 100; $50.00 per 1000.

Last week wslb, without any doubt, the dullest of the season, but as August is usually dull, perhaps last week was the crisis and things will pick up from now on. Roses are plentiful and it is no trouble at all to fill orders for any color. Asters are arriving in large quantities; the one complaint is with reference to their color, most of them being purple, while there is a shortage of light pink and white. Gladioli are also plentiful. Various Notes. Charles Plumb is adding another house to his already large range of glass. This latest house is 22x150 at present, but later another 110 feet will be added. Eventually Mr. Plumb in- tends to rearrange his whole range and this house is the beginning of a new plan he has in mind. The new house will be devoted to carnations. B. Schroeter is rebuilding three houses and creating a new stack for the rear range. Hugo Schroeter is spend- ing a week at home, digging in the garden. Henry Rahaley and J. E. Carey, of Mount Clemens, spent August 7 fishing in the North Channel, ^r. Carey is not only an expert rose grower, but can handle his launch like an old sea captain. Another employee has been added to the staff of the Detroit Cut Flower Sup- ply House. This time it is a wee bit of a girl, who arrived at the home of Hubert Pearce, the proprietor, last week. H. S.

PIPING IN NORTH DAKOTA. I am iii need of a little information fegarding the piping of my new green- house, which is to be heated by steam. I already have one house, 29x150, piped for steam, and the new house will join ihe present house on the south side, ^ith no wall between them. The new house will run east and west and will contain four benches. It will be 29x75 ajiil sixteen feet hig'h in the center.

This can be secured by running a 2 14 -inch main under the ridge to the farther end of the house and with it supplying twenty 1^4 -inch returns. If a temperature of 50 degrees will answer, the flow pipe may be 2i^-ineh and only fourteen 114 -inch returns will be needed. There are several excellent steam traps on the market and any of those advertised in The Review will give sat- isfaction. Without knowing just how the benches are arranged, no definite plan for locating the returns can be suggested, but about one-third of them may be placed on each wall and the re- mainder under the benches. YOKma TWO BOILEBS. Will you kindly give me some infor- mation on the connecting of two hori- zontal steam boilers, each of which has a capacity of 100 horse-power? I wish to be able to use them either as a bat- tery or separately. I should like to know whether they must be placed on the same level and how the water con- nection should be made so as to keep the water line the same. On account of limited space, I want to have them rest on the same central wall. Can that be done? We are using a return trap. Would it answer for both boilers? H. F. C. If the boilers are of similar construc- tion they can be set at the same height, but if one is of greater diameter than the other care should be taken to set them so that the desired water levels in the two boilers will have the same ele- vation. There is no reason why a' sin- gle wall will not answer between the boilers. The boilers can then be yoked together so that either one or both can be used. One trap will serve for the two boilers, using it to return the water to a feed tank with which the boilers- should be connected. . » . PIPING A PARTITIONED HOUSE. Will you kindly inform me how to heat a greenhouse of the following de- scription with hot water? The hoyse is three-quarter-span and is 18x70. It is twelve feet high to the ridge and has a 4-foot wall on the south and a 6-foot wall or the north. The office is at the east end and the boiler is at the west end. There is a glass partition through the center and I wish to heat the east end to 60 degrees and the west end to 50 degrees. The office is not heated from the greenhouse. Kindly give the size and number of pipes and their ar- rangement. As it will be extremely in- convenient to place the boiler in a cel- lar, can I place it on a level and use a mercury generator? If so, please esti- mate the piping accordingly. In this part of North Dakota the outside tem- perature sometimes drops to 40 degrees below zei*©. M. B. To heat the house described, under the severe conditions, it will be well to run a 3-inch pipe about two feet below the ridge, and with a slight fall, to the farther end of the house, and connect it with eight 2-inch pipes to be carried uhder the middle benches back to the boiler. Then run a 2-ihch flow pipe on each wall plate and carry back three 2- inch returns on each wall, or under each s\de bench, as far as, the jmrtition, from which,point a 2-irich return on each side of the house should- fun to 'the boiler. THE MAN WHO NEEDS A BOriER The customer's Interest first — Is the basis of the Kroeschell standard, and this prin- ciple makes the Kroeschell policy the most liberal of all In the greenhouse boiler business. The great variety of boilers that we make places us in a commanding position. We make every type of boiler that Is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest water tube steam boiler (600 horsepower). For the above reason we can furnish the most efllcient boiler unit in every case. It is the Kroeschell principle to supply only that type of boiler which is best suited to the conditions and under no circumstances do we take any other stand. . . . , WHEN YOU BUY- GET A KROESCHELL ««THE BOILER OF UNEQUALED FUEL ECONOMY" Kvery boiler made at our works is of the highest standard. Material — governed by Kroeschell specifications — the best that money and brains can produce. Workman- ship— the kind that is an Inspiration to all other boiler makers. Boiler efl[lciency — determined by tactual test under working conditions. Boiler ratings — honest and true blue — guarantee actual working capacities. Probably you havo wondorod why the Krooscholl Greonhous* Boiler Is not sold by any off the KfAenhoueo construction companies. In lustice to all concerned we ffeel It Is our duty to state that the Kroeschell Bolier Is never sold by any one but-Tho KROESCHELL BROS. CO.-Wo have no asents, and as our prices are based on sales direct from factory to user, we do not quote anyone deallns In boilers special resale prices. Our stand In this matter has brousht out a lot off competition; nevertheless, the xrcat efficiency of the Kreescheli Greenhouse Boiler cannot be disputed, and in spite of the keen competition the Kroeschell Greenhouse Bolier Is heatins more (lass than any other make-" DO NOT GET CHEATED OUT OF THE KROESCHELL BUT PLACE VOUR ORDER DIRECT AT ONCE." Get the Kroeschell Tint Several years ago Mr. Pontlng corresponded with us in regard to the Kroeschell Hot Water Boiler, but was persuaded to install two sectional cast iron boilers which were claimed to be superior to the Kroeschell. In the meantime we placed a number of Kroeschell Boilers in the immediate vicinity of Mr. Pontlng. and he could not help but notic» their great eflSclency, and last year, while at the convention, he placed his order for his first Kroeschell. The following letter speaks for Itself: "We like the Kroeschell Boiler very much. It gives entire satis- faction, and It Is so easy to Are. I will trade you the two ca«t iron ftectional boilers for another like the Kroeschell I have." July 16. 1913. Cleveland, Ohio. (Signed) FRED PONTING. Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron In 1912 our cast iron sectional boiler cracked in one section and we ordered a No. 3V4 Kroeschell Boiler by tele- graph. This boiler is heating 10,200 sq. ft. of glass, besides the oflilce and potting shed, and you will note this is 1,200 ft. more than its rating. We have no trouble to maintain proper temperatures at any time and the boiler has given perfect satisfaction. With the Kroeschell we have added one more house, but have not used any more coal than with the cast iron boiler and 3,000 ft. less to heat. One cast iron break-down was enough for us, for we have found it pays to get the best — the Kroeschell. (Signed) MICHLER BROS. CO. July 17, 1913, Lexington, Ky. Kroeschell Replaces 3 Cast Iron Boilers The No. 6 Kroeschell which we pur- chased some years ago is heating 18,- 000 sq. ft. of glass, and we should Judge that it would take care of 5,000 or 6,000 ft. more easily. Our houses require a temperature of 50 to 62 degrees at night, and we cer- tainly do not have the least trouble to keep temperatures In the coldest weather. We do not have to fire our boiler as often as our brother florists who are using different makes. The Kroeschell has replaced three cast iron sectional boilers, and it certainly has given entire satisfaction. It only takes a few words to ex- press the good quality of your boilers and they are as follows: "Of all firms handling boilers and advertising them truthfully, the party buying a boiler would have to get the Kroeschell, as you are certainly advertising nothing but facts."

This will give one 3-inch pipe and twelve 2-inoh pipes in the east end of the house, where a temperature of 50 degrees is desired, and sixteen 2-inch pipes, in addition to the 3-inch flow, in the west end of the house, to furnish a temperature of 60 degrees. Arranged in this way, and with the lowest part of the returns above the level of the grate, a good circulation can be secured without using a mercury generator, or if a generator is attached the return l)ipes used as heating coils might be Ji^-ijich. SIZE OF SMOKESTACK. How high a brick smokestack, and of what diameter, would be required for two tubular boilers, one of them sev- enty-five horse-power and the other thirty horse-power? How many brick would be needed for such a stack? J. H. T. The higher a chimney, the smaller may be iits area. Thus, while a chim- ney twenty-four inches in diameter in- side would answer if it were sixty feet high, a chimney thirty inches in diame- ter and only forty feet high would give about the same results. To build either chimney in a durable manner would re- quire about 1,000 fire brick and 10,000 common brick. Care should be taken to place it on a firm foundation. This should be not less than six feet square and of a depth according to the char- acter of the subsoil. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. The market is brighter than it was a week ago, and business people seem more encouraged. Several notable wed- dings have taken place during the week, and the work has been divided up even- ly among our tradespeople. Funerals have called for their part of the busi- ness, and brought an extra heavy de- mand for roses, valley and other choice flowers. A good shipment of Indiana roses came inta the commission house during the week and was quickly dis- posed of. American Beauties are good and prices are firm. Double White Kil- larney roses are also arriving in better condition, and good shipments of Mary- land, Mrs. Taft, Bride and Bridesmaid all point to the decided and favorable change in weather from the extreme heat of a week ago.

There have been a large number of funerals lately, and the demand for flowers of all kinds has been heavy. There are not many outdoor flowers that are good, as the long dry spell ruined almost everything. Asters are almost a failure; neither gladioli nor outdoor roses are of much account. The florists have to depend mainly on in- door stock. Various Notes. Julius Niednagel & Sons are having good business. Their roses are coming along well aiid will soon be producing heavily. The carnations are all planted and looking well. C. L. Niednagel 's rosea are in fine growth, especially the Beauties, which are unusually good. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. is cut- ting large quantities of roses every day and using all of them. They report a heavy trade for every day lately. Busi- ness this year is better than that of any summer they have experienced. Mrs. M. L. Doerr, formerly of Mt. Vernon, Ind., has purchased Benjamin Kramer's store on Eighth street. She has repainted the interior and has a neat place. She says business is good, and is looking forward to a busy time as soon as fall comes. " She has placed a few window boxes and two bay trees in front, and keeps ferns and' other plants in the show window. She knows the business and should succeed in her new location. Benjamin Kramer and his wife, who have been away visiting different places, have returned home. J. C. Elspermann has had an im- mense lot of funeral work for several weeks, and has had to buy heavily. Henry Seymour has all of his carna- tions and mums jdanted, and they are in good shape. Karl Zeidler is busy getting things in shape for the fall season. Royston & Fenton are still cutting quite heavily from some old Ivory plants, which have been kept going all summer. Miss Nellie Goodge is not well and is finable to attend to business properly. Her stock of ])]ants is looking well. E. L. F.

Conditions have changed consider- ably since last report, for there has been some rain to help plants and flow- ers. Flowery are plentiful, with the efcention. of sweet peas, which are not oiily scarce but small and short- sfiBmmed, Gladioli are coming into the market in good condition now and they afe quite plentiful. . America is the favorite and brings the highest price. Garden flowers, such as gaillardias, larkspurs, centaureas and snapdragons, are still in demand. Carnations at last show the effects of the hot weather, for they are small, poor in color and sleepy- looking. The price, howev«r, is still high. Asters are quite plentiful, and they are good in quality too. The sum- mer flower buyers steer clear of the early fall flowers, nevertheless, for they seem to hasten the coming of autumn, which many of us would be pleased to hold back as long as possible. Roses of all kinds are good, but small. Milady is a splendid summer rose and the outdoor Taft roses are also fine. Various Notes. John Morse has returned from his vacation. Len Morgan is sending in some super- fine America gladioli from Agawam. Walter Nelson has returned from Block Island, where he had spent about a week. George A. Bailey, for many years with M.

DESTROY |y|||_P[^ llEdw. L McMorran & Co., Mention The Review wbro von write. COLUMBUS, O. The Market. Trade was unusually heavy last week, with stock more plentiful. Roses are still holding their own, in spite of the extremely hot weather, and they bid fair to keep up in good shape till the coming of the new crops, which are looking fine. A few growers are al- ready cutting from the new stock. Fu- neral work has been the main business. Gladioli have been plentiful and in good demand, and large quantities have been used for funerals. Asters are scarce and such blooms as arrive are mostly small and inferior. Some of the later ones promise to be better, but up to this time they have been almost a total failure. Carnations are coming on nicely. Most of the planting is done and in some cases a few flowers are being cut from the new stock. The new crop will certainly be welcomed when it really comes, as the public seems to be lost completely without carnations and the retailer lias to explain many times a day why he has none. In many cases the customers will accept nothing else. Sweet peas are about done for; a few are tb be seen, but the quality is so poor that it does not pay to handle them. Lilies have been in great demand; they are used about as fast as they come and are highly satisfactory stock to handhe during this hot weather. There is a ^ood demand for ferns. Various Notes. The Columbus Floral Co. is cutting a few carnations and they are in great demand. The firm is rapidly getting things in good shape again after the hail storm. ,The Riverside Floral Co. is well es- tablished in its new location and will be able to take care of its patrons in a mucb more satisfactory manner than before, as the former quarters were too cramped. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has everything in fine condition, with all the carnations benched and the mums looking extra well. The firm is cutting quite a few roses. The Munk Floral Co. is handling some good roses, which find ready sale. E. Metzmaier, J. R. Hellenthal, C. A. Roth and the Cottage Rose Gardens, all sufferers from the hail storm, report good progress in making repairs. Fred Brownwell. of the Livingston Seed Co., is off on his vacation. Sam Graff is in Chicago, on business and pleasure bent. L. Woodrow took a few days off and took a little trip up the lakes. Guy Woodrow is able to be at his post part of the time, but is still far from well. J- M- Utica, N. Y.— C. F. Baker & Son have secured a permit to erect a hollow tile florists' shop at their present location, at 59 and 61 Cornelia street.

Although seemingly impossible to create improve- ments upon past seasons, the art of designer and weaver again came to the front with productions of rare originality and merit. In spite of ^ labor disturbances which seriously interfered with silk manu- facturing during the past few months, by Herculean efforts we have surmounted all obstacles and present to the Florists of Amer- ica a line of textiles of which we are proud. Among our novelties which we predict will be the season's leaders, are the following: — WERTHEIMER Ribbon Edge Mallne This is the first time a MaliDe has ever been produced with ribboQ edges, the result of years of experimentiue. Sllverino Lattice Ribbon Autumn Leaf Chiffon Natural Leaf Chiffon Tutone Lace Chiffon Anti-Tarnleh Silver Gauze Ribbon Sunray Coreage Ribbon Tinsel Stripe Netting Hand Craft Gauze Ribbons and other Novelties in profusion. Our line, as usual, sets the pace for the market. XT YOUR SERVICE WERTBEINER BROTHERS 19-21-23-2S East 24th Street, :: :: NEW YORK "inTTaptrr:^" ', , f ADGDST 21, 1013. The Florists^ Review SELLING BEAUTIES at $1.00, $2.00, $3.00 per dozen Will be a big advertisement for your business. Most people do not know it is possible to get Beauties for any such price. The word American Beauty makes them think ten or twenty dollars per dozen. Push Beauties now at the above prices, and you will be sur- prised how you can build up your business in the dull season. If you will notice carefully our low price list you will see you can sell them at these prices and double your money. Then too, there is practically no loss when you get them direct from a big growing establishment like this, for the entire process of hand- ling is so different. Gut early in the morning and immedi- ately put in a large cooling room at a temperature of 45 degrees, and packed direct from that room to you, with but the one handling. It means a big differ- ence in the way they keep and ship. We have all the other kinds of Roses too, and sell them at attractive prices. We grow 40,000 Beauties and over 50,000 other roses, being especially strong on the popular yellow roses— Sunburst, Ward, Fire Flame. Now is the time to make a buying connection that will mean more profit the coming season. PRICE LIST These will be the Prices till October 1.

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 refrlKerator you installed In our place of business has been very satisfac- tory In every particular. The flowers retain their freshness and color. The refrigerator Is ventilated In so satisfactory a manner that the glass Is never covered with moisture; consequently the stock can be Inspected without opening the doors.

The Florists' Review ^a ac 3C ac CD i 9 I THE MINNEAPOLIS i \ X CONVENTION ^ r ac ac ac ac I \ TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS BREAKS ALL RECORDS. THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD AT BOSTON. OFFICERS FOR 1914: President, THEODORE WIRTH, of Minneapolis. Vice-president, PATRICK WELCH, of Boston. Secretary, JOHN YOUNG, of New York, N. Y. Treasurer, WM. F. KASTING, of BoHalo, N. Y. WELCOME! Society of American Florists! It took 20,000 alter- nantheras to spell out the words in letters four feet high across the armory lawn at Minneapolis, but there were 20,- 000 other Welcomes for the S. A. F. this week. The national organization has had many a cordial greeting in the years it has been making its peripatetic way back and forth across the country, but it never was more warmly received than has been the case this week. And it is one absolute, dead, moral certainty that no uninvited guest ever was more hospit- ably received. The work the Minneapolis florists have done is something wonderful. Not one detail of the arrangements has been over- looked. Nothing that any larger city ever did has been omitted. And the gar- den that first greets the view of the visitor has created a veritable sensation. It was the work of Theodore Wirth, backed by the park facilities, and Mr. Wirth, it will be remembered, recently wrote a public letter from which it ap- peared that he was not at all satisfied with the results. The Review at the time said that the showing would look much better to the trade than it did to the man responsible for it, and, in fact, it is the hit of the convention. All the ad- jectives in a big, fat dictionary have been used in praising the brilliant show and the almost perfect grounds. It will be a rash man who will undertake to go this garden one better. The attendance at this convention of course is not up to last year; it couldn't possibly be at a city 400 miles north of the main traveled east and west lines; but it is an attendance that will do the S. A. F. a lot of good. While some of the old faces are missing and the at- tendance from the extreme east is light, the florists of the great stretch of rich country between Lake Michigan and the mountains have turned out almost to a man. For the great majority of them it is their first convention. But it won't be their last. Most of them will be ready for a longer trip next year. The trade's display naturally suffered in size from the same cause tliat cut down tlie eastern attendance, but it is a gen- eral remark that at no previous con- vention has there been such a generally high average grade of stock shown. There is not a great deal that is really new, but there is a great deal that is really fine. The Opening Ceremonies. In spite of the fact that the number of visitors is less than in recent years, the attendance at the opening session was several times as large as last year at Chicago. It shows one of the advantages of meeting in a city where there are not too many distractions. When Wm. Desmond, president of the Minneapolis Florists' Club, called the convention to order there were on the stage all the officers of the society and all the directors but one, together with nine past presidents. No better showing than that ever was made. Mr. Desmond spoke briefly for his club and introduced Vice-president Wirth to preside. Mr. Wirth was received with great applause. He said he had dreamed of having the S. A. F. at Minneapolis some day, but had not dared to hope that the dream would come true for years. The formal address of welcome was by Mayor Wallace G. Nye, who not only paid the society the compliment of being present in person but made one of the finest talks the or- ganization ever has listened to. He won the attention of his audience at the start by saying that this was the first convention he could remember that not only had asked nothing of the city, that not only had brought its own interests, but had brought entertainment and in- struction for the public of Minneapolis. ttUla^n^' * ■ -—~-t~. ^^^^^^^Kmk ^L^ w ,i • ^1 6^ Theodore Wirth. (President-fleet of the Society of Aiiieiican Florists.) 24 The Florists' Review AcocST 21, 1918. Patrick Welch. ( Vice-prc-sldeot-elect of thu Society of American Florists.) Before he closed he took occasion to at- test to the worth of Mr. Wirth in a way that brought hearty applause. W. P. Gude, of Washington, D. C, was introduced to reply to the Mayor. He told several stories to illustrate the civic pride of the Minneapolis people and said that when he first heard them he con- sidered them jokes but that now he thought they rather understated the at- tractive features of the city. He closed with an appreciation of the garden ex- hibit. The Routine Business. The president, * when the felicitous preliminaries were concluded, set a precedent that is to be commended to all future incumbents of the office. He read the annual message slowly and dis- tinctly, and it took him just six minutes ! Some of his predecessors have talked three-quarters of an hour when they had the similar opportunity, but no more to say. The document was referred to a committee consisting of C. H. Tot- ty, S. D. Dysinger, A. T. De La Mare, George Asmus and Philip Breitmeyer to report on the recommendations. The routine work then was quickly disposed of. Secretary Young and Treasurer Kasting read their annual re- ports, which showed the society to be in flourishing condition. The vice-presi- dents' reports were presented and or- dered printed. Mr. Qude said he had several matters he would like to get cleared up and presented reports as Washington representative, as chairman of the committee on a memorial to W. B. Smith, as chairman of the committee on a national rose garden and as chair- man of the committee on tariff. He was given a rising vote of thanks for his work. The Smith memorial and rose garden committees were continued. Supplementing his report on the tariff, Mr. Gude said that in the senate Au- gust 16 Senator Poindexter, of Wash- ington, had held up the paragraph of the tariff bill that covers bulbs, his ob- jection being to the clause regarding hyacinth bulbs. Quite an animated dis- cussion ensued. The president spoke of the keen interest of Winf ried Eolker, one of the members of the tariff com- mittee, who was in Europe at the time the bill was being written. W. F. Kast- ing said the reason the trade has so much difficulty in getting things put through the way we want them is that florists take so little interest in politics. He recommended electing a member of the trade to congress, an Illinois man, perhaps, and suggested helping along the secretary of the Illinois State Flo- rists ' Association, J. F. Ammann, of Ed- wardsville. He also commended Mr. Gude for his ability to get to the right people. E. G. Hill spoke on the excel- lent financial condition of the society and it was on his suggestion that every- body stood up to thank Mr. Gude, the motion having been made by Mr. Ebel, seconded by Mr. Munson. Boston Next Year. The nomination of next meeting place being in order, the Boston delegation marshaled their forces. They evidently expected a sharp fight and had prepared their case to win over any possible op- position. To begin with, the chair read an invitation from the governor of Massachusetts. Then the secretary was handed one from the mayor of Boston, which he read. This wxis followed by a letter from the Chamber of Commerce. Then Eber Holmes read a letter from the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club. Then James B. Shea, superin- tendent of parks, spoke as the mayor's personal representative. W. P. Kich, secretary of the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society, spoke for that organi- zation. P. Welch followed with a plea as representing the commercial inter- ests. Naturally by that time half a dozen men were trying to wedge in a motion to make it unanimous. Finally, between Messrs. Ebel, Kasting, Hill and Bunyard the motion got to the house and it was carried enthusiastically. The battle was won, Boston next. Report on President's Address. The committee to which the presi- dent's address had been referred made the following report: The suggestions regarding using the energies of the state vice-presidents to better advantage being good, the com- mittee thought this could best be done through the organization of state flo- rists' societies, or state federations where a number of florists' clubs al- ready exist or are formed within a state. The committee recommended that $25 be placed at the disposal of each state vice-president to be used for exploitation and organization work, the secretary to keep an accurate record of the results secured, to be available to the president from year to year. It was recommended, inasmuch as the conservative element always has pre- dominated in the board of directors and its acts are only as the result of careful thought and for the general good, that the members should give full considera- tion to the recoannendations of the di- rectors. The committee found that the out- door exhibition was one of the most at- tractive features that ever had been seen at an S, A. F. convention and rec- ommended that it be continued when- ever possible. Inasmuch as so large a proportion of the society's work relates in some man- ner to affairs at the national capital, the committee recommended that the Washington representative of the so- ciety be invited to participate in the meetings of the board of directors and that he be made the same mileage allow- ance as is made to directors. The recommendations were concurred in by unanimous vote. Nomination of Officers. The by-laws of the society require that the place of meeting be determined on the first day, the officers nominated on the second day and the election by ballot to occur on the third day. The second stage of the proceedings devel- oped into a veritable love feast and ob- viated the long and arduous task of polling the membership, for everything was unanimous. The slate nominated was as follows: For president — Theodore Wirth, of Minneapolis, nominated by W. F. Kast- ing, seconded by Harry A. Bunyard and M. C. Ebel. For vice-president — Patrick Welch, of Boston, nominated by George Asmus, ^W"' ■>■■'■ ■ -, "-.^ ^'\'*-< V ■• i< ^ ACODBT 21, 1913. The Florfets' Review 25 ..,— ...^ The Water Garden of Henry A.

The election could not be concluded until the next day, when a unanimous ballot was cast. Miscellaneous Business. Secretary Young read voluminous minutes of the several meetings of the board of directors. It showed where the real work of the society is done, but tlie minutes were received without com- ment. A report of the committee on flood relief work, Messrs. Evans, Hill and Poehlmann, was presented. The com- mittee was discharged with a vote of thanks. A telegram was read from Dan Mac- Rorie, of San Francisco, representing the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society, sending greetings and renewing the in- vitation to meet at the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915. The chair explained that action could not be taken at this time and the matter was laid on the table. Wallace R. Pierson presented a re- port for the publicity committee, ex- plaining that it never had been possible to do anything more than encourage local and individual effort. The com- mittee recommended that the national committee of florists ' clubs ' representa- tives be continued and asked to prepare a plan for establishing a publicity bu- reau. Mr. Pierson asked that his own committee be discharged. I. C. Bertermann said that the Tele- graph Delivery Association has added forty members to the S. A. F. in the last vear and made a plea for greater rep- resentation for the association in the society's management and program. Philip Breitmeyer followed with an ar- gument why the 8. A. F. should seek ways of pushing the retailers' organiza- tion, and George Asmus pointed out that the F. T. D. is the only one of the special societies that makes membership in the S. A. F. a qualification for those who wish to join the special organiza- tion; he urged this as a paramount rea- son why the S. A. F. should stand back of the F. T. D. and further its interests as its own. No action was taken. National Flower Show. Charles H. Totty, chairman of the National Flower Show committee, pre- sented a detailed report of the New York exhibition, which had returned the guarantors ten per cent on their money and left a profit of $1,500.72 to go into the S. A. F. show fund. The report was accepted, with a rising vote of thanks to the committee. A discussion followed, all laudatory of the work of the committee and with only minor criticisms of the show itself and of the handling of its infinite de- tails. On behalf of the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, Adolph Farenwald invited the S. A. F. to hold the next National Flower Show in Philadelphia in 1916. The invitation was referred to the show committee with power to act. The Judges' Beports. The following awards were made, for novelties: F. B. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., honorable mention for Nephrolepis Elms- fordi. The Carnation Support Co., Conners- ville, Ind., honorable mention for car- nation support. E.

A novelty for an August convention was a competition in decorating dinner tables. A gentleman who wanted to help along the local interest offered some good cash prizes. Four retailers competed. The judges' report, presented by D. A. Robertson, of Chicago, gave first prize to the Yerxa Grocery Co., second to L. S. Donaldson Co. Affiliation. The session of Thursday morning was devoted to the address of Adolph Far- enwald and a general discussion of the subject of affiliation. In the end the matter was referred to the board of directors, with a request for an early report. THE PBESIDENT'S RECEPTION. The annual reception to the president was marred to some extent by the rain that fell intermittently all day Tues- day, August 19, and which settled into a steady fall as evening approached, but as a majority of the members were domiciled at the Radisson hotel, where the function was held, the not large Gold room was well filled. In the re- ceiving line were S. A. Jamieson, then the president, Mrs. C. H, Maynard, the vice-president, Mrs. Wirth, ex-President Vincent, Mrs. Vincent, E. G. Hill, Miss Matilda Meinhardt, J. A. Peterson and Mrs. Peterson. The affair was infor- mal. Music and light refreshments were provided and dancing followed. ILLUSTBATBD LECTUBIIJB- The large attendance i« th^ yj^. ball- room at the armory 19mdpidgi0^ fv^liing, August 20, was a tTih«|l6to the work done by Theodore Wi^rHi> for he was the speaker of the evening. His subject was "The Parks and Boulevards of 26 The Florists' Review Adgcst 21, 1913. Minneapolis," illustrated by a large number of handsome colored lantern slides. The pictures showed the great improvements that have been achieved since the park board undertook the present progr^im of development, and, great as has been the progress made, the audience was led to believe that even finer things lie in the future. For the closing session of the conven- tion Leonard Barron, of Garden City, Long Island, is on the program for a stereopticon lecture entitled "Glimpses of American Gardens." THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. [The following Is the address of Pisesldent J. K. M. L. Farquhar, read before the Spciety of American Florists, in convention at Minneapolis, August 19 to 23, 1913.] *, Never has it fallen to the lot 'of a president to make his convention ad- dress under such favorable conditions as exist in our society at this, our twen- ty-ninth annual meeting. Since we last met, we have pro- gressed and increased our influence to such a degree that a review of the year's proceedings might well be de- voted to laudation rather than to sug- gestion or criticism, "We did well in deliberately deciding upon beautiful Minneapolis for our meeting this year. The wisdom of the selection is already manifest; nor did we choose Minneapolis alone, but the Twin Cities, which are one in horticul- tural spirit, one in effort for a success- ful convention and one in welcoming us to their midst. Yonder river does not divide the twins; they are linked be- yond its waters. A Busy Year. Since our Chicago convention the so- ciety has been unusually active. The great success of the New York flower show was accomplished only by the untiring work of your officers in coop- eration with those of the New York Florists' Club and other local organiza- tions. Especially must I commend the zeal and work of Charles H. Totty. Meanwhile our vice-president, Theo- dore Wirth, has been busy with his out- door garden exhibit in connection with this convention, a feature but once be- fore attempted and then on a compara- tively small scale. W. F. Gude, our Washington repre- sentative, as chairman of the committee on tariff and legislation, has done much to secure satisfactory action on the clas- sification of horticultural imports in the new tariff. Officers. Our by-laws wisely provide that sev- eral of our committees shall change gradually, as in the case of executive and National Flower Show committees. I am opposed to spasmodic changes, and I believe that our state vice-presidents, where they have been active in promot- ing the interests of the society, might well be reappointed by incoming presi- dents, as has been done not infre- quently. State Vice-Presidents. A former state vice-president recently asked me, "What besides making a report of trade conditions in his state is there for a state vice-president to do?" I replied that at present the aocifity did not seem to be making all the use it could make of its state vice- presidents. I think that the annual re- ports, the submission of which is in some instances neglected, are but a small part of the work these officers might do. I am convinced that great good would result if the vice-president of each state Would consider the S, A, F. mem- bers therein as constituting a society of themselves under his or her charge; and if he or she would call these mem- bers together once or twice each year, matters affecting their interests could be discussed and acted upon. Then, through the secretary and executive committee, the full support of the so- ciety could be accorded to the members of any state, when in need of its help- ful influence. Such state meetings might be held in connection with any important flower show, or other horticultural meeting in a leading town, under the direction of our state vice-president. Headquarters in Washington. Attention has been frequently called to our obligation, under our charter, to establish a permanent domicile in Wash- ington. In a few years it will be necessary for us to petition Congress for permis- sion to hold property beyond the present limit of our charter, which is $50,000. We should at once begin to make good our delinquency in having failed up to the present time to establish our office in Washington, and, having done so, we shall be in better standing when we ask Congress to permit us to hold property up to ten or twenty times our present limit — a round million would be none too much. Parcel Post. The recent raising of the parcel post limit to twenty pounds weight by the postmaster-general is a step in the right direction. It is to be hoped that soon the horticultural interests will be able to obtain a better rate than the present "^^ .«> one of 8 cents per pound for their pro 1- ucts. The Executive Board. The work of the executive board s much more arduous than many membe s of the society realize. The board h; s an intimate knowledge of the affairs ( f our organization, a knowledge and ii- sight not possessed by the majority <.f our members. At times the recommenu- ations of this board, which actually con- trols our doings for fifty-one weeks of the year, have not seemed to receive the responsive approbation and suj-port of the society which their importance would have appeared to justify. I feel that the suggestions of this board should receive more thoughtful consideration. Congratiilation. In conclusion, fellow members, let me say that notwithstanding the few sug- gestions I have made, the burden of my message to you this morning is con- gratulation. Our society has grown — grown numer- ically— grown in financial strength — grown in influence and power as an organization helpful to its members in the trade. It has grown as a factor in promoting horticulture and the love of flowers among all classes of our people. Your officers, your vice-president, your secretary, your treasurer, your executive committee, your National FJower Show committee and your other officers and committees, have done their work faith- fully and well, and for the remarkable physical and material growth of our society, which their various reports will disclose, there is but one comment — congratulation. And for your wisdom in choosing them, as well as for having so wisely selected this city for our pres- ent convention, you, fellow members, have my heartiest congratulations. SECRETARY'S REPORT. [The folIowii)g is the repdi't of John Young. Secretary of the S. A. F., presented at the Minneapolis convention, August 19, 19x3.] The secretary's financial report will show the affairs of the society to be in a healthy condition. Undoubtedly the vote of the Chicago convention to meet in Minneapolis was a wise one. The florists' interests are increasing rap idly in the west and northwest, and the meeting in this city will give those interested in the florists' trade an op- portunity to become members, to visit the convention and to see and learn what the Society of American Florists is doing for them. The number of new members taken in at this time is grati- fying. While it is to be regretted that the receipts from the trade exhibition ^j*^-\-^ ■-S r^. :■: /r...^:y(.. ^■:;./;^j^;gtifc^^y,ji Geraaium Helen Michell, Exhibited in the Minneapolis Garden by Henry F.

Convention at Minneapolis This Week. are not as large as they were at the last convention — the receipts this year are a little less than $4,000 — still the exhibition is a comprehensive* one. There are over sixty firms represented and, as the expenses have been kept down wherevQr possible, there will be a substantial balance to turn into the treasury. The outdoor planting exhibition, which was under the able supervision of Vice- President Theo. Wirth, speaks for itself. It is many years since anything of the kind has been attempted by our society and the results obtained are highly satisfactory, and have been the cause of much favorable comment. While this outdoor planting exhibition did not receive the support it deserved, still there are thirty-two leading firms represented. It is understood that these outdoor planting exhibitions will be continued in the cities where future conventions are held, and should be the source of some revenue to the society, 11 addition to their educational fea- tures. Membership. From January 1, 1913, to August 9, ^^13, there have been added to the "lenibership list the names of 125 an- •lual members and 25 life members. ''August 9, 1913, the list of those in good standing was as follows: Pioneer ">eiiibers, 28; life members, 352; annual n?eii!bers, 923; total, 1,303. In addi- "oii to these, there are the following ^hdse assessments are in arrears: 1911 ass. ^sment, 66; 1911-12 assessment, 129; ]^\ assessment, 311; total in arrears, ^06 This makes a total membership °^ ,810; 27 of these are active lady met bers. J^ ' it can be seen that the member- ?"i; of the society is gradually increas- '"g Many of those owing back dues have paid up since this report was made up, and several will pay during the convention week. Many new names have been added and I have every con- fidence that at the end of the year 1913 this society will have a list of 2,000 members in good standing. The trade at large, through the wide publicity given the society by the trade press and other channels, are awakening and see the benefits of joining the society, and it should be only a short time be- fore this society will have a list of members such as the organizers hoped and looked forward to. The following have sent in one or more names for membership since the last convention: Florists' Tel. Del.. 26 p. Welch '^ S. S. Pennock 1 Ctaas. U. Fohn 2 W. F. Kastlng .S DaTld Ru»t I C. F.

IT ac -■' "- ^ THE :ic=3c 3C XHIBITS ^ % "^ 3C ac ac ac ac ac The outdoor display which is the spe- cial feature of this year's S. A. F. con- vention is the idea of Theodore Wirth and to him, also, must credit be given for its execution in a manner that gives a setting of color far finer than any- thing that most of the visitors had anticipated. Mr. Wirth himself was disappointed at the way the trade re- sponded to the invitation to supply stock, and it is true that perhaps the greater part of the display is made by local people merely for the purpose of helping the thing along, but the fact is that the whole thing makes a Bhowing that not only is above criticism, but which merits much praise. The park board, for which Mr, Wirth is superin- tendent, offered to supply the labor of planting the garden, caring for the stock, digging and returning to the owners in the fall. That sounds like enough, but in fact the park people, infected by Mr. Wirth 's enthusiasm, have done far more thau that; they have contributed a large part of the stock that was used. For instance, along the parking at the front of the armory are 100 varieties of cannas flowered in tubs and the tubs plunged to the rims in the sod. All are in full flower. Much stock also has been pro- vided to fill other gaps and to Mr. Wirth and his departmmt much credit is due. Everyone remarks the splendid condition of the grounds and stock. Under Mr. Wirth Louis Boeglin, the head gardener for the park system, has hiad a large force of men at work when- ever labor was needed. A heavy storm Sunday night threatened disaster, but all traces of damage were removed be- fore Monday's sun went down. The Display From a Distance. To Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadel- phia, credit must be given for the most comprehensive display in the outdoor exhibition, and to this concern the point of vantage was given — a large aquatic garden in the center. The center of the pond is occupied by papyrus, with A corns Japonicus variegatus to add • olor. The edge of the pool is covered with Lysimachia nummularia. In the open water between are nymphseas in variety. Some of them are: Marliacea rosea, Gladstoniana, Aurora, William Doogue, Helen Fowler, Gloriosa, tube- rosa Bichardsoni, alba candidissima, Jas. Brydon, Pygmsea, rubra punctata, odorata sulphurea, Chromatella, Lueida and Marliacea. Two large oval beds are planted with cannas, Hungaria, pink, in one, and Gustav GumppiQC^ yel- low, in the other. Still another round bed contains Pennisetum macrocarpum atrosanguineum, purple feather ■ grass. The whole south end of the garden is devoted to Dreer 's perennials, over 100 varieties. The park employees say many of the varieties are not hardy in Min- neapolis and that it is the most com- prehensive collection ever seen in the northwest. It is just a little early for them to be at their best. Still another Dreer exliibit, and one that attradts an unusual amount of attention, i^ the Cardinal Climber, shown on trellis and arbor. The intense color of th^ not large flowers contrasts vividly wit;h the deep green foliage. A memorandi|m of this goes into most of the notebooks. The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., is represented by three extrimely fine beds of cannas. The forward bed has Wyoming in the center, with Me- teor outside, edged with Minnehaha. The beds at the sides are planted with mixed varieties, the one at the right containing Conowingo, Jennie "^alls Fahnline, Kate F. Deemer, Mrs. A. F. Conard, Niagara, Wabash, West Grove, Rosea Gigantea, Juanita and Betsy Ross. The bed on the left has Olympic, Beacon, Gladioflora, Mont Blanc Im- proved, Wawa, Jupiter, Gladiator", Cali- fornia, Venus, Loveliness and Panama. Meteor and Mrs. Conard attract special attention. Two splendid beds represented Arthur T. Boddington, New York. The long, deep border of Gladiolus America would be diflBcult to beat, the plants beiijg in full bloom, right in their prime, with the maximum number of flowers open. The other exhibit was a big round bed of Canna King Humbert. The H. F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, sent stock for two large oval beds, one of which attracted especial attei^tion rOr the reason that it contained nothing but the new dwarf red geranium, lleleJ Michell, which is to be distributed ia the trade next season. It was a mass of color, the blooms having stood the recent showers well. The other Michell bed was planted with King Humbert canna. Winterson 's Seed Store, Chicago, was I represented by a bed of King Hnmbert I canna that is entitled to special men tion because it was located a little to one side, in front of the armory but be yond the entrance, where some of the visitors may have missed it. From Floral Park, N, Y,, John Lowis Childs sent stock for a big round bed of Canna Wyoming, but his special ex hibit was of gladioli, planted each va- riety in a row across a long border. The varieties included: America, N. D. Childs, Panama, Fire King, Safrano, Alaska, Contrast, Burnham, Aline, Bucher, Primulinus hybrid, Dawnray, Rosy Spray, Portland, Niagara, Silver Sheen, Blanche, Wild Rose, Sulphur King, Nezinscott, Attraction, Melrose and Scribe. From Wooster, O., F. H. De Witt k Co., a new exhibitor at S. A. F, conven tions, sent stock for a long bed, one end of which was filled with Ruby red geraniums and the other with two va- rieties of pelargonium, Easter Greeting and Wurtembergia. As representing R, Vincent, Jr., k Sons Co., White Marsh, Md., was a bed of the comparatively new red geranium, Scarlet Bedder. From Wm. Tricker, Arlington, N. J., stock of two novelties had been re- ceived, used in a round bed, the 'center of which was Ly thrum roseum. Perry's variety, bordered with Vinca miilor aurea, the hardy golden myrtle. Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., shared with another gladiolus exhibitor one of the largest beds on the grounds, filling his end with the new white variety, Peace, which towered strikingly above its neighbors, Augusta and Chicago White. Thomas Meehan & Sons, Dresher, Pa., show evergreens in larger sizes than any of the other exhibitors. The list includes juniperus, picea, thuya, abies and tsuga, a total of forty-four varieties.

The La Crosse Floral Qo., La Crosse, Wis., had two handsomq^ beds, one of King Humbert cannas, t^^rich color set off by adjoining plantiiafa of the park board's asters, and a ]Bd of Scarlet Bedder geranium, red,3tordered with Mme.

Begonia Christmas Bed, Arenantherum bulbosura, aucubas, gold- Pn privet, boxwood in various shapes, i''tinosporas, juniperus, abies and acers in variety. A. Henderson & Co., Chicago, were represented by a bed of variegated •louble petunias that were a mass of bloom, and which therefore suffered somewhat in the heavy storm that 'Irenched the garden Sunday night, but they recovered nicely. Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago, was •"epresented by four well located beds. •\ long border was planted with ^a- ^'oli, labeled Miss Frances King, Amer- ica, Kunderdi hybrid, Chicago and Au- !?usta. In front of this were three ex- cellent large beds of cannas. The varieties Julius Koch and Prince Wied '^ere in beds by themselves, but the bed of David Harum was bordered with The Express. The largest outdoor display in point '>f ground covered is that of Farquhar 4 Co., Bosion. One wide bptder extends along the entire west .side, filled with per.nnials with some of the park boa*d 's *st( rs, some dahlias and edged with "i"la cornuta atrojjurpurea. In front of this is a bed the entire width of the ^'arlen filled with mixed gladioli. In front of this are two oval beds of can- vas. Souvenir de Mme. Hardy in one ^iii Beauty Poitevine, according to the '8' 1, on the other. The Local Exhibits. ^^hile the local exhibits were, per- haps, largely called in to save the gar- den from presenting a half -filled appear- ance, still they must not be considered any the less interesting from that fact. There were no great number of novel- ties among the garden exhibits of the outside florists and the local people stood well on the comparison of stock. Not only was it a credit to them, but it must be a splendid advertisement and one that will bring them many dollars in the course of time. Every plant was carefully labeled and the public was admitted to the garden, not only this week but all summer. The park board contributed an im- mense quantity of stock. In addition to the 100 tubs of cannas on the street front, there was a splendid bed of gera- niums, including many hundreds of plants of La Favorite, Jean Oberle, Col. Thomas, Dagata, Mrs. E. G. Hill, Anatole Roseleur, Scarlet Bedder and Berthe de Presilly. There also was a big collection of evergreens and a dozen or more smaller beds, placed where they would do the most good. Aside from the park board C. N. Ruedlinger, Minneapolis, is the largest exhibitor among the local people who have space in the garden. One of his exhibits is a long bed containing thirty varieties of hybrid perpetual and hybrid tea roses that are making a considerable show considering the date.

John Hawkins, of the Rose Hill Nur- series, Minneapolis, has one bed de- voted entirely to evergreens, principally juniperus, picea, pinus and thuya, and also has a border of deciduous stock with a few evergreens worked in among the shrubs. L. L. May & Co., Mayfield Nurseriesj St. Paul, have a large display of ever- greens, including many varieties of abies, pinus, picea, thuya and juniperus. G. Malmquist, Minneapolis, is the ex- hibitor of Petunia Rosamond, a bed of which makes an attractive showing. L. S. Donaldson Co., Minneapolis, has two long parallel beds of the stock or- dinarily used for lawns, vases and boxes and has the firm name in letters three feet high, worked out in two colors of alternanthera. Merriam Park Floral Co., Minneapo- lis, has two beds of red geraniums, one of Enerich and the other Alphonse Ricard. Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, have a long bed of the standard varie- ties of gladioli, in which the park people have planted asters to heighten the color effect. Miss H. B. Whitted, Minneapolis, is represented by some excellent lawn vases and by a long bed of begonias, petunias, etc., in which the name of the exhibitor is spelled out in alternanthera carpet bedding. Will Bros., Minneapolis, have an at- tractive bed of petunias and lilies. Nagel 's Greenhouses, Minneapolis, are represented by a bed of the pink gera- nium, Gloire de France. BOWLING.

The indoor display is excellent. It was found possible to keep it all in the main floor of the armory, without' Using the annex, and the show always gives best satisfaction, both to exhibitors and visitors, when it is all in one room. While this show is far from a record- breaker for size, it is well arranged and appears to offer a complete line of stock Tor the inspection of the buyers. The sale of indoor space has given just half the income that was obtained at Chi- cago last year, but the expenses also are cut in half, so the result to the so- ciety is about the same. The exhibitors, with a brief note on the specialties of each, are as follows: Advance Co., Bichmond, Ind. Four ventilating machines were in- cluded in the small space of this ex- hibit, two of the Big Advance, one ma- chine for operating side sash and a Little Wonder, shown on a rafter bracket, for top sash. There also was a large line of greenhouse fittings. J. E. .Jones was in charge, assisted by his son, R. E. Jones. American Importing Co., Chicago. Gold letters and script words were the special feature of this exhibit, but a line of imported artificial flowers was so natural as to command attention. Japanese baskets, cycas leaves, pre- pared adiantum and ruscus in several colors also were shown. F. Gerome, president of the company, was in charge. Aphine Mfg. Co., Madison, N. J. The full line of fungicides and in- secticides made by this company were shown, including Alpine, Scaline, Fung- ine, Vermine and Nikotiana. M. C. Ebel was in charge. A. A. Arnold, Chicago. This line of cut flower boxes consists of fifty-six different sizes, made up in eight colors. A new thing was a box for baskets of cut flowers or plants. A new line has Easter lilies, orchids, roses, etc., printed on the covers in natural colors. Another novelty is a holly deco- rated Christmas box. S. Freund was in charge. C. D. Ball, Holmesburg, Pa. The exhibit consisted only of kentias, arecas and Phoenix Roebelenii, the two former being mostly made-up plants, as it has been found that the better class of trade, using these for decorations, prefers the made-up stock to the single specimens of equal height. C. D. Ball, •Tr., was in charge. H. F. Baker, Minneapolis. For C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom, Hol- land, this exhibitor staged forty-four baskets of Dutch bulbs, principally hya- cinths and tulips. L. Ball, Wyomissing, Fa. Lemuel Ball specialized growing only a few varieties of plants and the estate is continuing along the same lines, so that this exhibit contained only three things, kentias, pandanus and cocos, though these were in several sizes. J. W. Wade was in charge. : . « • W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. This was a comprehensive display and included almost everything a flo- rist would be likely to want: seed cabi- nets, bouquet green, Christmas trees, insecticides, raffia, pots, plant stakes, hose, Brink's sprayer, a full line of fall bulbs, Harrisii, freesias, cold storage giganteums and Chinese sacred lilies, the only ones in the hall, Arnold Eing- ier had as hiis assistant W. M. Beid. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. This was a large display of a general line of florists ' supplies. Among the new things were imported humming birds. A line of poinsettia and holly decorated baskets was a novelty. Two- toned crepe paper was shown with both ed^es curled. Twenty-five different styles of wreaths of prepared foliage were shown. To take the place of immortelles, wreaths, stars, balls and crosses of frieze were offered. Steel gray was a new color in Porto Eican mats. Inexpensive reed baskets were made over glass vases. A new color in basket finish was a green bronze, used on any reed or willow basket. The royal vase holder for a 10-inch vase for window decoration was an invention of Sidney Bayersdorfer, who was in charge of the exhibit, assisted by I. M, Bayers- dorfer, Martin Reukauf and S. D. Green. Bidwell & Fobes, Kinsman, O. This concern took over the gladiolus business, as well as the property of the late Frank Banning. The exhibit con- sisted principally of Panama, Niagara and America, although King, Gerirude Augusta and Princeps were sho\»n iij| the collection of cut spikes. L. G.

The exhibit consisted of a section ofl greenhouse bench with wiring to supf port roses and carnations: the self-l tying rose stake and the continuoml • self-tying carnation support.

A few spikes ofl Badenia, a German variety, showed it to be possibly the best lavender to date.] The display was in charge of I. S. Hen- drickson. Coldwell Lawn Mower Co., Newboig,! N. Y. ' The exhibit consisted of lawn mow- ers propelled by power furnished by I man, mule or motor. G. A. Metcalfe | was in charge. Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. The department of plant patholo^l sent Roy C. Faulwetter with an exhibit to show the nature of the commoner diseases of florists' plants and tiie methods of control. There was a large screen carrying glass covered mounts of diseased specimens, also a table of fungicides, etc. Methods of soil sterili zation were illustrated.

' The Florists' Review 35 A Geaenl View of the Southeut Section of the Trade's Dltplay at MinneaFoIis This Vecic Amendments to Tariff Bill. These are the amendments: No. 1. Section 215 — The words "and all other decorative or greenhouse plants" are omitted. This will make orchids, palms. Azalea Indlca and cut flowers dutiable at twenty-flre per cent ad valorem, and all other greenhouse or nursery stock, not otherwise stated, at fifteen per cent ad valorem under Section 216. It will avoid dis- putes as to what Is greenhouse stock or nursery stock. No. 2. Section 215— The word "bnlbs" Is added after "hyacinths," dutiable at $2.50 per tiiousand bulbs. No. 3. Section 215 — The word "herbaceous" 's preflxed to "peony." Some peonies, as Paeonla Moutan, are grafted shrubs and not bulbs and are dutiable at fifteen per cent ad valorem under Section 216, instead of ?10 per thousand under Section 215. ^^ No. 4. Section 215 — Changed so as to read all other root^, rootsvocks, corms and tubers." This will aU in exact classification and avoid expensive d sputes. No. 5. Se"tlon 216— The words "Rosa rugosl" are added att?r "multlflora." This is a most mportant change; It makes Rosa rugosa seed- lings 3 years old or less dutiable at $1 pe;- thou- sand unquestionably. The government can not now collect duty of $10 per thousand, as roses, on Rosa rugosa seedlings sold at $3 per thou- sand, as under former tariffs. This will save honest importers much expensive litigation and will largely prevent fraudulent entries of budded rosps as brier roses. No. 6. Section 600 — The word "coniferous" Is prefixed to "evergreen seedlings," and the words "•* years old or less" arc added. This correction Is of inestimable value to the government and the honest importer. It should prevent boxwood, bay trees, rhododendrons, Koster blue spruce, Kalmias. etc., being brought in free of duty by reason of fraudulent entries as "evergreen Njodllngs." It will also make large evergreens, ■> years old or more, dutiable at fifteen per cent ail valorem under Section 210. Simplified and Corrected. These amendments correct and sim- P'ify the tariff immensely as applied to h )rticultural imports.

Y. much too low for the interests repre- sented in the society. Secretary L. Merton Ga^e had pre- pared the following report: "There is almost always a critical period in every society's life that affects its future ex- istence. I will not say that we have arrived at that period, but the germ is working, so we must be alert to destroy it before it gets established beyond control. The first indication of this germ's presence is the waning interest of the majority of our members in con- tributing material for our bulletin. If we do not get this material, our bulletin will not continue to be a factor in hold- ing our membership, especially our ama- teur members. I want to say this much , that the amateurs must do their share in keeping up the interest and standard of the bulletin by contributing to its pages, "It is about time that something more than mere pen-slinging was done con- cerning the renaming of varieties and the naming of other growers' seedlings without consent of the originator. At a recent exhibition of gladioli in Bos- ton I had the pleasure, or rather dis- pleasure, of seeing two of Groff's varie- ties exhibited as seedlings, and one of these has already been named by Mr. Groff. If this sort of oiracv is allowed to continue, what protection can the American Gladiolus Societv hold out to the honest producer of new varieties? * ' Concerning the matter of newspaper publicity, I wish to especially commend the articles published through the cour- tesy of M. S. Morton, of the Portland Evening Express, and J. M. Adams, of the Hartford Times. "Our membership has increased to the number of twenty-three, but it could easily haye been raised to double that number with verv little effort on the part of our members. "At the International Flower Show in New York last spring our societv offered an attractive prize schedule, but it seems that the time is not vet ripe to bring out a good exhibition of forced gladioli, for the only exhibitors at New York were John Lewis Childs and Cham- berlain & Gage. "At the meeting of the society which was held in New York it was voted, upon the recommendation of the color chart committee, to adopt the "Reper- toire des Couleurs" published by the French Chrysanthemum Society. "By direction of the executive com- mittee the society 's medals were sent to the Central New York Horticultural So- ciety and the El Paso County Horticul- tural Society, Colorado Springs, Colo." FLOSISTS' HAIL ASSOCIATION. The Florists' Hail Association held its annual meeting at Minneapolis this week. The number of members now is 1,613, more than the paid-up membership of the S. A.

Since the organization of the association in 1887 1,960 losses have been adjusted at a total of over $278,000. FLORISTS' TELEQBAPH DELlVtSST. The retailers' association had the best meeting in its history at Minneapolis this week. The attendance was larger than ever before and the free exchange of ideas showed how great has been the increase in interest in the business of delivering flowers at distant points. The reports of President Bertermann and Secretary Pochelon showed the work that had been done and the plans for the future. The report of Treasurer Rock showed a bank balance of $2,253.14. Officers were enthusiastically re- elected, as follows: President — I. C. Bertermann, of In- dianapolis. Vice-president — W. F. Gude, Wash- ington, D. C. Treasurer — W. L. Rock, Kansas City, Mo. Secretary — Albert Pochelon, Detroit, Mich. Directors for three years — I. C. Ber- termann, John Bertermann, W. L. Rock. The holdover directors are A. B. Cart- ledge, W. F. Gude, F. H. Meinhardt, Philip Breitmeyer, E. Wienhoeber and George Asmtis. W. L. Rock read a paper in which he made comparisons of various ways of getting business, the showing being de- cidedly in favor of the F. T. D. Albert Pochelon read a paper on the history of the F. T. D., including experiences of the officers in the exploitation work, with suggestions for the extension of the association 's influence and useful- ness.

" "^; BEFOST ON SMITH MEMORIAL. (Wm. F. Gude, as cbnirman of the committee on memorial to the late Wm. R. Smith at the natioDal capital, presented the following report at the Miuneapolis convention, August 22, 1913.] Your committee, appointed at the convention held in August, 1912, in Chicago, has been at work on the pre- liminary arrangements toward securing funds for a suitable memorial to the late Wm. R. Smith. Your committee did not feel at lib- erty to proceed until after interviews had been arranged with the government officials, with Andrew Carnegie and with the trustees of the library left by Mr. Smith. Consideration of what type of me- morial would be best suited to com- memorate our late friend for all time to come has not been taken up as yet. In an interview this spring between your chairman and Mr. Carnegie, the latter expressed himself as much in- terested in the project. He did not wish to take the initiative, however, and asked your chairman to see first what the florists of the United States would do. These being heard from, he desired to know the result, as he did not want the memorial erected without having the privilege of contributing toward the expens^e oj^i^ constructica. In the late spring or WIS, your co i- mittee sent a letter to all secretari ;s of our kindred organizations, so' le sixty in number of record, in tie United States. A number of replies received stated that the matter wouid be taken up individually or collectively by members from many cities.

Secretary John Young has got to know the exhibitors' likes and dislikes the way one's wife knows hubby's whims. Conse- quently everything runs as smoothly as clockwork. The Minneapolis cartoonists like to make pictures of florists — and the florists don't seem shy. Emil Leuly, who biked from Jersey, was a center qf interest to the local pencil pushers. J. B. Fotheringham was in a washout in Minnesota that sent most of his train into the ditch and delayed his arrival at the convention for thirty-seven hours. He came from a Pacific coast trip. The conductor of the Minneapolis park band, William Warvelle Nelson, has ded- icated a composition to the S. A. F., played for the first time at the concert Friday night. The American Sweet Pea Society had a time allotment in the program, but no meeting was held. President Sim was not present. Secretary Bunyard and A. C. Beal, who has charge of the trial grounds at Cornell, had a conference. Mrs. August Poehlmann, of Chicago, slipped in alighting in front of the armory on the first day of the conven- tion and the fall sprained her ankle so painfully that she was confined to her room at the Eadisson for most of the week. . A new scheme that worked well was credited to Guy French, of Morton Grove. Each visitor was asked to sign a card. The cards were punched with a hole to hang on a rack according to the alphabet. The card gave each visitor's home and hotel address. The armory is an ideal place for such an affair. The big drill floor is ample for any ordinary exhibition and the com- pany rooms are fine for meetings. And the rent, by the way, is just half what the Coliseum at Chicago cost last year and about an eighth what the Grand Cen- tral Palace in New York cost per week. The souvenir album published by the Minneapolis Florists ' Club was a fine example of the printers' art; it was a departure from the form of previous souvenirs, being of standard magazine size. J. A. Eidgway, the chairman of the committee in charge, acknowledges that this was another place in which the tireless energy of Theodore Wirth counted for a great deal. The outing was postponed* this year till Saturday, to give additional time to the business affairs of the society and to give the visitors better opportunity to do justice to the trade 's display. These desirable objects were attained, but it was at the expense of the attend- ance at the outing, for many of the vis- itors found it necessary to start for home without waiting for the picnic and sports. Adolph Poehlmann, of Chicago, who drove his machine to the convention, had a breakdown on the lasit leg of the journey. W. J. Keimel, of Blmhurst, 111., happened along and took Mrs. Poehl- mann aboard, leaving the owner of the machine to get it repaired and follow when he could. He lost a day. August Poehlmann got through about on schedule, leaving Chicago August 14 and reaching Minneapolis in the evening of August 18. AUGV8T 21. 1913. The Florists' Review iX •BOSTON. The Market.

The souvenir album published by the Minneapolis Florists' Club was a fine example of the printers' art; it was a departure from the form of previous souvenirs, being of standard magazine size. J. A. Ridgway, the chairman of the committee in charge, acknowledges that this was another place in which the tireless energy of Theodore Wirth counted for a great deal. The outing was postponed" this year till Saturday, to give additional time to the business affairs of the society and to give the visitors better opportunity to do justice to the trade's display. These desirable objects were attained, but it was at the expense of the attend- ance at the outing, for many of the vis- itors found it necessary to start for home without waiting for the picnic and sports. Adolph Poehlmann, of Chicago, who drove his machine to tlie convention, had a breakdown on the last leg of the journey. W. J. Keimel, of Hlmhurst, 111., happened along and took Mrs. Poehl- mann aboard, leaving the owner of the machine to get it repaired and follow when he could. He lost a day. August Poehlmann got through about on schedule, leaving Chicago August 14 and reaching Minneapolis in the evening of August IS. AUGUST 21, 1913. The Florists' Review 41 •BOSTON. Tbe Market. Wlii^Q business remaiua q^iet) the last •week showed a little improvement on its immediate predecessor. Boses, al- though they are" largely short-stemmed^ are improving. Among the newer varie- ties, MrSi George Shawyer, Mrs. Charles Kussell.and Milady are going well, Mrs. Kussell particularly so. Among the old ^;lrieties, some really nice Perle des Jardins are seen, in addition to the other three yellows. Sunburst, Hilling- don and Ward. American Beauties are> ^ood for the season. A few carnations are stiir coming in. They are poor, how- ever. Lilium longiflorum, which has lieen rather scarce, is more plentiful. Oood auratums and speciosums are also' <^^oniing in. Asters are less of a glut than they were a week ago, with the passing of the early varieties, but prices remain Jow. Gladioli are selling a trifle better. America hangs fire; its flowers bruise easily, and now that it is abundant, the Ijiiyers turn against it. Sweet peas are all short-stemmed and are decreasing ill numbers. An occasional bunch of Golden Glow chrysanthemums comes in, auj some fine dahlias. Cosmos sells poorly, and the demand for bachelor's buttons is less robust. Cattleyas are scarce. A few Gas- kelliana and Harrisoniae only are seen. Oncidium Eogersii is arriving. Valley remains of good quality, but sales are slow. Some of the new gardenia crop i-i arriving. Demand for green supplies is light. Various Notes. A large number of friends went to see the Boston travelers to the Minneapolis •convention oflf, August 15. The weather was simply ideal. There were twenty- two in the number, including among others: J. K. M. L. Farqinhar, Frank Manor, Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Patten, Thomas Boland, F. J. Dolansky, E. A. Peirce, 8. J. Gpddard, Miss Helen God- ^lard, Patrick Welch, Edward Welch, W. .1. Stewart, James B. Shea, superintend- out of Boston parks; F. C. Green, Provi- dence, R. I.; Mr. and Mrs. Eber Holmes, Wm. P. Rich, T. J. Grey and M. C. Kbel, Madison, N. J. Neil Boyle, of Maiden, has built a uew rose house, 48x135, in place of two old ones. His specialties for the com- ing season will be Killarney, White Kil- larney, Hillingdon, Richmond and Mi- lady.' The auction sale of stalls at the Bos- ton Cooperative Market will be held Saturday, August 30; that at the Bos- ton Flower Exchange one week later, •'September 6. Each market has had a >ound girl. Mother and baby are doing well. The Montrose Greenhouses are send- ing in some good flowers of the old J'orle rose. Other varieties they are growing this season are Russell, Double White Killarney, Double Killarney, Car- dinal, Richmond, Taft, Hillingdon, Mi- lady and Ward. William Patterson, of WoUaston, has the best dahlias so far seen this season. All are varieties imported from Eng- land. He also has bachelor's buttons and longiflorum lilies in quantity. He has the foundations in for a new Gar- land sidehill house, 48x120, to be used either for carnations or asparagus. The New England Rose Conservato- ries are shipping to the Boston Flower Exchange niee flowers of Ward, Killar- ney Queen, Killarney, White Killarney and $ fine new seedling, Scarlet. A?. 8. Parker, of Stoiieham, one of the directors of the Boston Flower Ex- change, is a candidate for representa- tive on the Progressive ticket from the thirty-first Middlesex district. Mr. Parker is a good orator and a witty one. William Jurgens, of Newport, is send- ing to the Flower Growers ' Sales Co. fine speciosum and giganteum lilies and lilies of the valley, as fine as I have seen this season. Julius A. Zinn, on Park street, in his window decoration August 16 had nu- merous vases of Ward roses with spikes of dark blue Veronica longifolia subses- silis arranged with them. The effect was quite good. Masses of long-stemmed auratum lilies were at the back of the window. Johnson Knight, the genial manager of the Boston Cooperative Market, is enjoying his vacation at Nahant, Mass. W. R. Finlay, salesman for the Flower Growers' Sales Co., is at Raymond, N. H., for his vacation, where fishing is good. J. A. Budlong & Sons Co., Auburn, R. I., sends large daily rose shipments to the Boston Flower Exchange. The quality is good for such early shipments. They find that Tafts, Shawyers, Double White Killarneys and Double Killarneys sell specially well. Other varieties they have are Russell, Sunburst and Milady. M. C. Ebel, of Madison, N. J., arrived in Boston on the morning of August 15 and left for Minneapolis with the Bos- ton band. Penn's duck farm is still a prime at- traction with the public. Store business for August has been quite good. Henry Penn decided at the last moment to stay and rest near the ocean rather than go to Minneapolis, as he had planned. Mann Bros., among other growers, are shipping quantities of montbretias, globe amaranths and Gladiolus America. John Barr, of South Natick, says he has sold about 35,000 surplus field car- nations, and the demand seems insa- tiable. Members of the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club of Boston are invited to join in a special inspection trip to the experimental gardens of the H. F. Mich- ell Co., at Andalusia, Pa., Wednesday, August 27. A special train will leave the Broad street station at 11:15 a. m. Recognition tags will be furnished to all who can make the trip. ■ W. N.

He gave his liabili- ties at $1,578 and no assets above ex- emptions. C. Leslie Beynolds. C. Leslie Reynolds, superintendent of the National Botanical GardehS, at Washington, D. C, dropped dead from heart failure August 13, while chasing some boys who were throwing stones at the greenhouses. Mr. Reynolds was a native of Mont- gomery county, Md., and was 55, years of age. His record of service with the government is an enviable one and covers a period of over forty years. He started out in 1872 as a senate page: and March 5, 1873, he became a messen- ger boy at the Botanical Gardens. From that time on his rise was rapid; he soon became an apprentice gardener under the late William R. Smith and advanced! steadily until he became the right-hand man of Mr. Smith. During the latter 's illness he had full charge of the work- at the gardens. On the evening of August 12 he was one of the guests of Edward S. Schmid at the annual crab feast tendered the Washington Florists ' Club, of which he ' was an honored member, and his death comes as a great shock to his associates and fellow members. Mr. Reynolds was also a Mason and a member of the So- ciety of Oldest Inhabitants of Wash- ington. He is survived by his wife, for- merly Miss Elizabeth Noonan, who was employed at the Botanical Gardens be- fore her marriage about five years ago. Mrs. Amasa Eennlcott. Mary Seeley Kennicott, widow of : Amasa Kennicott, died August 13. at her residence, the Grove, near Des Plaines, 111., after a three weeks' ill- ness. Three sons, Ransotn, Walter and Harrison -Kennicott, survive her. Mrs. Kennicott was 67 years old. She was born near Wauwatosa, Wis., the dauch- ter of Edwin Seeley. She was the sis- ter-in-law of Flint Kennicott and her husband was the pioneer grower of peonies in large quantity as cut flow- ers for the Chicago market. Interment was at Arlington Heights, beside the Kennicott brothers, who preceded her only a few years. John K. Hoskin. John K. Hoskin, aged 69 years, died August 8. at his home, 1512 Haak . street, Reading, Pa.j of a complication of diseases. He had been in failing health for five years. Mr. Hoskin was a native of England, and came to this country forty years ago, locating di- rectly in Reading. He formerly eon- ducted a greenhouse and nursery at Schuylkill avenue and Greenwich street, in Reading, and for many years was a private gardener. He was a member of the Episcopal church. His wife died a number of years ago. Charles Kennedy. Charles Kennedy, for twenty years with the Robert Craig Co., at Philadel- phia, Pa., died suddenly of heart failure on his way to work at Norwood, August 16. He was about 40 years of age. He was one of the fern growers at Forty- ninth and Market streets, Philadelphia, and had been transferred to Norwood temporarily. William M. Evans. William M. Evans, of Philadelphia;, Pa., died late Saturday night, August 9, at his home, 4921 Florfence avenue. He is survived by a daughter. Miss Mary B. Evans. The funeral was held Au- guest 13. 42 The Florists' Review AUGDST 21, 1918. ...CONTENTS...

Index to Advertisers Page 70 Besults bring advertising. The Review brings results. Kansas has had the hottest summer ever known and the florists there, as well as in the adjacent states, have lost a great deal of stock. It looks as though five days is too long for a trade convention. The inter- est is not sufficient to hold the attendance at the hall for more than a part of the time. 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. One advertiser in The Review reports having sold 240,000 chrysanthemum plants this season and says many more miglit have been disposed of had the stock been available. P. O. Mui£MA, mayor of Leesburg, O., is starting in the greenhouse business. Incidentally, he says he gets "a world of information" out of The Review. The first thing a beginner does is to subscribe. Foe those who remember what they read last week it may be stated that last week's edition of The Review con- sumed 7,865 pounds of white paper — and it was no special edition, sample copy circulation, either; just the regular weekly run. Practically four tons of white paper are used each issue the year around, with about six tons on special numbers. view to tell him of a fiivorable lo^tion for starting in business of one kind or another. A location may be well or poorly chosen, but success in any branch of the florists' business depends more on the ability and energy of the florist than on any other factor. One man gets rich where other men merely make a liv- ing— but there are surprisingly few fail- ures in this trade. WHAT HEADERS NEED. Whatever our readers need, they turn to our advertising pages to find. The man whose advertisement is on the spot prepared to supply what readers need, is sure to get the business. If the ad- vertisement is in response to a need, the buyer will look it up. It is for this rea- son that a little Classified advertise- ment is such a wonder-worker. Two lines brought business and satisfaction to this man, for the readers needed his tobacco stems: wish to say that we got good results from the classified advertisement and it will not be neces- sary to run it any longer at this time. — L. S. Boucher Cigar Co., JopUn, Mo., Aug. 7, 1913. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. With a steady increase in the supply and an indifferent demand, the market for the last week or ten days has been anything but brisk. Each day has seen large quantities of stock thrown on the market, while the wholesalers were do- ing their best to move the surplus along in the face of an almost discouraging demand. Roses are probably more plen- tiful than they have been for a number of years at this time, and with the ex- ception of the white varieties, which are scarce, there are more than enough to go around. While Killarneys, Mary- lands and the other summer roses are to be had in large lots, the greatest over- supply is in Beauties. Every possible effort is being made by the dealers to force the sale of these. City buyers have taken away large numbers, but there are still enough left for the wants of the out-of-town buyers. They are available in almost any length, but there are more of the medium and long stems than of the shorter ones. Just how long the oversupply will last is a question; the cloudy weather early in the week gave the wholesalers hope that the cuts would decrease until the demand could catch up. Of the other roses, the new crops are all that could be expected in the way of color, foliage and stem, but it is hard to keep the fiowers in condi- tion, as the heat causes them to open quickly, and those that will stand ship- ping are not in abundance. There are increasing cuts in many of the new va- rieties, and Mrs. Russell, Milady and one or two others are more in evidence as the summer advances. Asters are being shipped to the mar- ket in larger quantities than before, but the quality is lacking, and the good ones are the only kind that are worthy of attention. There is no outlet for the poor ones, and they hardly bring enough for the growers to pay the express charges. The^ood ones are more read- ily disposed of, although the demand is hardly a brisk one. Gladioli are in the same boat, and only the better grades will bring any price at all. Carnations have been cut in larger numbers during the last few days, and in some quarters re^^onably good flow- ers are to be found.-^They do not show the weakness of stem that was the de- fect of the carnations last season, and while most of them are short-stemmed as yet, there are a few good long- stemmed ones. Another two weeks should see the fir^ good cuts of the longer stems. Lilies are in fair supply, with a de- mand just strong enough to carry away those that are being cut. Valley is T'l:. ^7^ - AUGOST 21, 1913. The Florists' Review- 43 'y-^r'- This is the season of "hot air," when, not having much to sell, adver- tisers are prone to write of the great expanse of glass they hope to cut from after awhile. We might with truth tell you of our Enormous Supply THE LARGEST OF ANY CUT FLOWER HOUSE IN AMERICA |UT THB POLICY OF THIS HOUSE has been to be conservative in all thingrs. Mod- eration has been the keynote of our advertising:, believing: that boastfulness leads to overstatement and to claims that cannot be lived up to. We have asked for business on the quality of our stock, and on the ^ efficiency of our service, rather than on the MERB SIZE of bur place — yet we believe it to be literally and ab- solutely true that we handle more dollars' worth of cut flowers in a year than any other cut flower house in the United Stales. FANCY ROSES The steady average high quality of our roses has beea the talk of the Chicago market for years, but we never have been so well fixed as we shall be in the approaching season. Already we have a splendid cut. The crop is heavy and the stock fine ; plenty of medium to long roses, the scarce kind. Note we have a full line, the varieties that every retailer needs in quantity: Milady, Sunburst, Ward, Bulyarie, Radiance, KiUarney and White KiUarney. BEAUTIES We aim always to have Beauties in the ice-box awaiting your wire, and there never is any doubt of our ability to supply anything you want in Beau- ties if we have your order early in the day. At present the cut is so large we never run out. FANCY DAISIES Now that daisies are practically out of the market, buyers will be glad to know that we have a crop that is first-class in every particular. It is not Shasta, but a seedling raised by one of our own growers, so near like Shasta that few will note the difference in the flower. FANCY ASTERS Cnrrent Price List ORCHIDS Per doz.

Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, says the carnations this year appear to be in much better shape than last year, when the majority of the first arrivals of the longer stems from the new crops were weak. This season the plants had less rain in the field and are making a better showing. The Geo. Wittbold Co. reports a heavier business this summer than ever before. Alterations at Edgebrook to ac- commodate a new rose house have been completed and things are in shape for the winter. Fred Nelson, manager of the retail department, is on his vacation and will be gone about three weeks, touring Colorado in the neighborhood of Denver and Colorado Springs. Miss Frances Nagler has returned from her vacation in Wisconsin. Leon E. Sawicki left Monday for the convention at Minneapolis. From there he goes to accept a position at We- natchee, Wash. In order that he might attend the convention at Minneapolis, Oscar Leist- ner returned from his eastern trip Au- gust 17, and left for the convention city August 18. Mr. Leistner's trip took him to all the big floral centers of the east, and he reports the demand for Ameri- can oak sprays to be far greater than at this time last year. Astermums have found a steady de- mand this summer, according to A. L. Vaughan, who says they needed no boosting, but sold at a good deal better price than the ordinary asters.

John Risch is well pleased with the Mrs. Eussell. Another who is predicting popularity for the new Mrs. Russell is John Sinner. He says the first few cuts have shown excellent 3eiUj»g. (m«^ities.

He adds that the new ice-box has proven itself equal to the test and works like a charm. This week was the first time it was put in full operation. The old one will be used for any overflow that may develop. A new sprayer, designed for green- house use, has been put on the market by the Star Brass Co., 1911 Fulton street, Chicago. The new model holds- twelve gallons and is mounted on wheels in order that it may be readily moved about. It is only thirteen inches wide and can easily be wheeled in between the benches of almost any house. The Star Brass Co. has been manufacturing what is known as the Binks sptayers for almost flfteen years. Guy Reburn, of A.

D o a^OEIE ac 3E anoE J] NEW YORK. The Market. Convention week and the one preced- ing it have been dull these many years, and this year is no exception to the rule. Tfie market is overwhelmed with hydrangeas, gladioli, asters and short- stemmed roses. Many of our leading citizens are at Minneapolis, or still at mountain resorts or at the seashore. It is simply the inevitable yearly stagna- tion, only more this year than ever. Shipments of roses begin to show a slight improvement. The few first-class Beauties and novelties that arrive are, of course, snapped up quickly. Shawyer and Milady are especially appreciated, and Double White Killarney as well. A general improvement in quality of all the roses is already evident. Of the short-stemmed stock no values can be safely quoted. Carnations are few and largely unsal- able. There is a tremendous loss in asters; only the best and the selected are called for. The great mass of the arrivals go for any price that is offered, and most of them are in the ice-box until crowded into the street and carted away. Almost the same conditions char- acterize the gladiolus market. Only the new varieties and America seem to be wanted. The most of the shipments sell at 50 cents a hundred and under. Vast quantities do not sell at all. Every re- tail window is now filled with ferns and Hydrangea paniculata. Valley and lilies are firm at present quotations. Some fine rubrums are in the market. Orchids are lower again, and abundant. The weather has been exceptionally favor- able in the east this season for out- door flowers. There has been no con- tinuous and abnormal heat such as the west has suffered, and there have been abundant rains. Cosmos and dahlias are arriving. Various Notes. Chairman Bunyard's report on con- vention matters August 16 was encour- aging. He then anticipated an attend- ance of forty, and nearly this number had been booked at that time, the inev- itable last-hour arrivals being depended on to round out the even number-*nd so fill the two special cars. Every comfort for the excursionists has been provided and a delightful trip is anticipated for all. The consolidation of the firms of Geo.

Mr. Schmid and Mr. Kramer, who acted jointly as hosts, were among those called upon to respond to toasts. Colonel Robert L. Montague was the orator of the evening and kept his audi- ence entertained with some amusing sto- ries. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., had something to say about the convention and proposed a toast to the memory of the late William R. Smith, "the father of horticulture in America." Several vocal selections were rendered by Milton J. Filius, and Walter Elliot led the singing of popular airs by the entire assemblage. The feature of tha evening was an entertainment provided by members of the Queens of Paris company, playing at the Gayety theater, who arrived at the feast shortly after eleven o'clock and entertained the company so well that it was with regret that an adjourn- ment was taken after midnight. Among those present were: W. E. McKissick, Otto Bauer, David G. Grill- bortzer, John Robertson, Robert Mac- . Lennan, C. Albert Schopf er, W. A. Fur- mage, G. E. Anderson, Harry B. Lewis, George C.

Vetch is grown on practically every type of soil in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Nearly all the plantings are small, as most growers have just begun to plant vetch, but on some farms where it has become well established fifty acres or more are planted annually. Vetch is used for hay more than for any other purpose. At Augusta, Ga., where hay made from vetch and oats is well known, it sells on a par with cowpea hay. Liverymen buy it extensively, and it is shipped in coasiderable quantities to the sawmills and lumber camps of Florida. From one to three tons to the acre are com- mon yields, which, at prices varying from $15 to $20 a ton, make it a profit- able crop. Inasmuch as narrow-leaved vetch sepd is difficult to obtain and is not commonly sown, nothing definite as to the quantity of seed required has been determined iby the recent investiga- tions of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. As the seeds arg small, twenty-five pounds per acre prob- ably are sufficient. With common vetch BULBS — Now ready for shipment.

RUPP, Shiremanstown, Pa JiIeDtion The Review when you write. forty-iive pounds are used by the best growers. In order to facilitate the harvesting of the hay, it is customary to sow from one-half bushel to a bushel of oats per acre with the common vetch. Thirty pounds of good hairy vetch seed and from one to two bushels of oats per acre are usually sown. Where hairy vetch has been grown previously, twenty to twenty-five pounds of vetch seed and two bushels of oats, handled properly, will give good yields on fertile soils. If vetch is used for soiling, from fifty to eighty per cent more seed should be sown than when planted for hay. If used as a winter cover crop, smaller quantities will give good results. The seed should be tested before planting and the quan- tity of seed sown per acre regulated accordingly, because of the variability in the germination of vetch seed. This variability is due partly to the uneven- ness of the ripening of the vetch seed and partly to the fact that some of the seed must necessarily be harvested in an immature state. ST. LOUIS. The Southwestern Market. The wholesale markets are still loaded up with stock that is poor in quality. The long dry spell has fairly burned up the outdoor stock. From reports of the wholesalers, extremely little business is going on at present, and low prices are prevailing on all grades of stock. The retailers say that if it were not for funeral work, there would be absolutely nothing some days. They are looking forward to a revival of business when the schools open the first Monday in September. In looking over the stock at the dif- ferent wholesale markets, we find a glut in single everblooming tuberoses, which are being offered as low as $1 per hun- dred, and even cheaper in thousand lots. Gladioli, too, have been coming in too strong for this market during the last week. Asters are coming along better, and some extra good stock was seen last week, but the bulk of it is poor. Boses are plentiful. The hot weather caused the shipments to arrive in poor shape. A fine lot of Ea&ter lilies come in daily. Good stock in carnations is out of the question now. Smilax is still scarce, but all other greens are in plenty. Various Notes. Samuel Seligman, representing Wert- heimer Bros., of New York, spent part of last week with the trade here. Mr. Seligman arranged to meet the St. Louis florists at Quincy and to travel with them to the convention city. Wm. R. Karlstrom, of W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., received a letter while here, from Mr. Manda, informing him that the firm had received twenty prizes in the show held at Ghent, Bel- gium. Otto Lang, of the Lang Floral & Nursery Co., Dallas, Tex., passed through here on his way to Minneapolis. Mr. Lang reports that they are building a range of new glass costing $30,000. President-elect Pilcher and Vice-Pres- ident-elect Jaenicke are formulating plans for the fall and winter meetings of the Florists' Club, and with them in harness some highly interesting meet- ings may be looked for. At Angermueller 's, while the \)08s is away attending the S. A.

WILLIAM L. ROCK PERFECTION SPENCER— One of our most highly prized and beautiful origina- tions although it is not yet fully fixed. The ground color is pure white with a very distinct margin of rose- pink. The stems are long and carry from three to four fine flowers. Oz., $2.00. Ayres' American Beauty Perfection. A Winner. You know what an American Beauty shade will do for your bank account during the winter months. This is truly a gem, and everyone raves over it. Oz., 50c; % lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. Bloomhurst Orchid Mixture. While this mixture contains Spencer Winter bloomers, we wish our cus- tomers to know that there will no doubt be the Grandi- flora and Unwin type among them, due to the fact that many Spencers sport back. However, the colors are all very beautiful, and they are immense in size. We do not feel that it is yet time for the Spencers to supersede the beautiful Grandifloras and Unwin Winter-Flowering varieties from the fact that the lat- ter are much superior as shippers, keepers and trueness to color. 1 oz., $1.50; J4 lb., $5.00. Ayres' Christmas Pink Perfection. One of the earli- est and most profitable. Sweet Peas. 1 oz., 15c; 14 lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. Ayres' Christmas White Perfection. The same clear pure white as the Perfection carnation. Blooms along with its companion Christmas Pink; very prolific. 1 oz., 15c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. Ayres' Christmas Blue Perfection. In a great many cases we have known this beautiful violet shade to away oversell Sweet Violets. You should not fail to in- clude this in your order. 1 oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. Ayres' Thanksgiving White, Watchung or Snowbird. The earliest white under cultivation. An extraordinarily prolific variety. Being black seeded it is easier started than any other white. 1 oz., 25c; J4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.00. Ayres' Angelino Perfection. Self pink. 1 oz., 35c; J4 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00. S.

The third annual outing of the West- chester and Fairfield Horticultural So- ciety was held at Rye Beach, Rye, N. Y., August 12. The games, which started at 10 a. m., provided excellent enjoyment both for those contesting and for the onlookers. At 2 p. m. a halt was called to repair to the Beach hotel, where T. Edwards had provided an excellent shore dinner, well knowing that the exertions of the morning, coupled with the bracing sea air, had whetted the appetites of all. About 135 sat down to dinner and, after all had done full justice to the good things provided, President Robert Williamson spoke of the pleasures he derived from presiding over such a notable gathering, of the splendid work the society was doing, and also the honor accorded the society by the pres- ence of so many representatives of the trade. Short speeches were also deliv- ered by J. Manda, William McTaggart, S. Burnett and other members of the trade. On continuing the games, keen rivalry existed between the counties in the baseball and football matches, West- chester coming out victorious in each event.

The Market. Business remains quiet, but there is every prospect of its immediate im- provement. . The weather continues warm in the afternoons, but chilly in the mornings and through the night. As a consequence, stock of all kinds is getting better in quality daily and is also becoming more plentiful. This does not refer to sweet peas or gladioli, as these are past their prime. Princess of Wales violets have made their appear- ance, but are short-stemmed and small- flowered and do not keep well. It will be two months at least until they will fill all requirements. Most of the grow- ers have finished replanting their houses with carnations and roses, and these flowers are coming into town in better shape than they have for some weeks. Chrysanthemums are being held at rather stiff prices, but they are gradu- ally showing a downward tendency. Japanese lilies have not sold as well as as they should for the last week; there is apparently a slight overproduction, due to the warm weather of two weeks ago. Orchids are between two seasons and are quite scarce. Valley is plenti- ful and moves well. Amaryllis is cheap and good. Other lines of stock are about as usual. Various Notes. The present week will see the ending of the greenhouses of John H. Sievers, on Van Ness avenue. Since the death of Mr. Sievers, several years ago, the business has gradually been wound up, until at the present time there is prac- tically nothing left but the houses. With the demolition of these, this well known firm, for over forty years in San Fran- cisco, will have entirely disappeared. P. Orr and Fred. Jaeger, of the Fair- mount Floral Co., are both on the sick list. Mr. Orr has been at the German hospital for several weeks, but is now convalescent, while Mr. Jaeger is able to be around with a pair of crutches. The Art Floral Co. has improved the chance offered by the summer quietness to entirely renovate the Powell street store. It is now one of the most ar- tistic as well as one of the most con- veniently fitted stores in town. Arthur Zirkman, representing the M. Rice Co., of Philadelphia, is in town. Charges against the administration of A. J. Cook, state horticultural com- missioner, made by a number of county horticultural commissioners, fruit grow- ers and nurserymen in various parts of the state, were the subject of a for- mal all-day hearing August 14. This took place before Governor John- son, at Sacramento, and the outcome will be watched with considerable in- terest by many intefesF^'litiporters and jobbers in the plant trade. Bids for the furnishing and "fabricat- ing of the structural steel and iron work of the Palace of Horticulture have been called for by the buildings and grounds committee of the Panama-Pacific Expo- sition, and these are to be received at 11:30 a. m. on Thursday, September 4. Leo Diederichs, for several years fore- man in the greenhouses of the E. Gill Nursery Co., at Oakland, is on a trip to his former home in Chicago. G. POBTLAND, OBE. The Market. Business remains the same as previ- ously reported. There is little demand for any stock. The supply is large in quantity and variety. Bubrum lilies and gladioli are having a heavy cut and make a good appearance in the stores. The new crop of roses is gradually in- creasing in quantity, but is short- stemmed and of poor quality. Sweet peas have about run their course. Sala- ble stock is hard to secure. Asters are improving in quality and becoming more plentiful. Various Notes. Arthur Zirkman, of the M. Bice Co., called on the trade last week with an extensive line of ribbons and baskets. He reports business satisfactory. A. M. Le Grand, of Milwaukee, Ore., sold his greenhouses and five acres for $15,0QD. This is considered a good price, as the purchaser will remove the houses. George W. Erickson, of Astoria, was in town last week, arranging for ship- ments of plants and supplies. W. L. Crissey, of Baraboo, Ore., in- vited the florists to inspect his gladio- lus farm August 10. Many made the trip and reported an enjoyable time. M. Schmoekee, of Nasoma, Ore,, has added one house to his present placet which will be planted with carnations. H. J. Bigger, of Oregon City, had two semi-iron houses constructed by the Thompson Greenhouse Co., 24x100 feet each, a much needed improvement to his increasing business. F. J. Fredler, formerly of Elgin, 111., has taken charge of the mum section of the Martin & Forbes Co. Herbert & Fleishauer, of McMinnville, find the supply of water from their new well insufficient; so they will sink a nine-foot well to a depth of approxi- mately 150 feet, in order to irrigate their present field of asters. E. E. C. SEATTLE. WASH. The Market. Business continues dull, and with the unusually hot weather, flowers keep poorly. Carnations have been selling fairly well, and the supply some days is not up to the demand. Gladioli are now here in all their glorv and are selling moderately well, but, as is usxial with most outside flowers here, the price reg- ulated by the supply is poor. Sweet peas of good quality are scarce and bring better prices than they did a few weeks ago. Asters are on sale, some Oregon stock arriving in fine shape. Funeral work has been the salvation of lots of florists lately. Various Notes. The Woodlawn Seed & Floral Co. is making fine displays in its window of late, water lilies generally forming the foreground of the arrangement. Of these they have a constant supply, and they certainly are attractive. This com- S. MURATA & CO. Phon* Main 2987-F2604. WHOLESALE FLORISTS 751 So. Broadway, LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Florists^ Review 91 pany has Bieirbusy all through July and , so far in August, and considering: its' capital location, this is no matter for surprise. John Holze, of the Queen City Floral Co., started on his eastern trip two weeks ago. He was planning to take in New York, Philadelphia, Washington and a few other cities before returning by way of Minneapolis and the con- vention. Charles Muench is getting his store fitted out elaborately. There will be a grand opening soon. The building in which the new store is located is one of the finest in the city and is attracting high-class tenants. Harry Bisdon now has complete charge of the Bisdon plant at Brighton. He has the houses all planted to carna- tions and chrysanthemums, with a few bouvardias, poinsettias, etc., for variety. Cucumbers were a profitable crop at this place this year, and it is his intention to do still better with them next year. Andrew Matthieson is sporting around the boulevards in a motor car these days. It looks as though we would all be in the cucumber business soon. Fred Gust, of the Bosery, and Gus Peterson, of the Hollywood Gardens, have been on their vacations lately. With our remarkably sultry weather, it was a good time to be away from the store. Joseph Stuber and Balph Bichardson started on their eastern visit August 15. Thomas Wylie went August 12. T. W. LOS ANGELES, OAL. ~ The Market. Stock has piled up to some extent, but there has not been much wasted except in the poorer grades of outdoor flowers. A few chrysanthemums have appeared and asters are greatly improved, the lat- ter hindering to some extent the sale of gladioli for funeral flowers. Carnations are a little better than they were, and a new one, called White Fair Maid, is showing up well from outdoors. Inside roses are scarce, but are of good quality for the season. Orchids and valley are scarce owing to a big demand, but this is only temporary. Greens of all kinds are plentiful and good. There is more small pot stock than usual. Various Notes. Fine kentias and especially good America gladioli have been the princi- pal features at the store of Howard & Smith, at Ninth and Olive streets. The fltore is well adapted for this bold style of decoration, as there is ample height and breadth to show the fine contour of large plants. The Freeman-Lewis Co. had a mag- nificent pall of valley and orchids for a recent funeral. Two hundred cat- tleyas" and 2,000 valley were used, while the workmanship was in C. Lewis' best style. Mr, Lewis sang with great suc- •cess at a Long Beach concert August 9, showing his tdlents are not all devoted to floral art. . , ' S. Murata left for his vacation August 11, Mr. Newman having returned from liis automobile trip to the north. The latter reports a splendid time all through and has returned looking well "and sunburnt.

Fred Sperry left for a short vacation August 11, Charles Morton having re- turned that day. Mr. Morton says he had a good time notwithstanding the doctors' attendance. H. Turner, of Montebello, and C. Mor- ton were at the Santa Monica road race, August 9. Mr. Turner picked up Walter Armacost at Sawtelle on the way down. All report an excellent time. Polder & Groen are growing the new Astermum. As seen here, it is quite a pretty plant, as well as fine for cutting. The flowers are large and graceful, clear in color and last well. Doubtless it will be much more grown as a cut flower. Gus Swenson has a magnificent lot of chrysanthemums out at Eagle Rock; his Appletons and BonnafEons look espe- cially well. Joseph Craig, of Chicago, was a vis- itor here this week. William and Arthur Grosser, at the Ferndale Nursery, on Central avenue, have their new rose and fern houses looking well and report trade good for the season. Fine stocks of cvclamens. Gloire de Lorraine and Cincinnati begonias, ferns and other plants are coming along nicely at the Superior Nursery. Every cor- ner is filled with good stock, and a great deal of propagating is going on, go that the houses will be kept filled. Poinsettias here look well and healthy. Tony Tassano is back again from San Francisco, having left his. brother in charge there. They have also opened a new store in Oakland, at 387 Eleventh street. Mr. Freeman, of the Freeman-Lewis Co., left April 14 for deer shooting at Clear Valley. Frank Lichtenberg has his store m good shape now. His new lights are fine. The lamps give a nice soft light, being -hidden in bowl-like vases, which hang by means of chains from the ceil- ing. The location here is excellent, and Mr. Lichtenberg said he is delighted with the success so far. At J. W. Welters ' store on Hill street, a window filled with the beautiful red Eucalyptus ficifolia was a great attrac- tion. The water liles here are also fine. H. T. Clinkaberry, formerly with the Eoebling orchid collection, at Trenton, N. J., and since then of Chicago, now has charge of the orchids at the Doheny place here. Mr. Clinkaberry will also have charge of the new palm house when finished. His advent in California is a good omen, for we want men of his cali- ber out here. Mr. Clinkaberry has long been well known, both in this country and in England, as an orchid grower, and those who are acquainted with his famous hybrid, Cypripedium Leeanum Clinkaberryanum, will be glad to hear that he is now in a position wb^re he will soon be able to use his abilities along this line again.

B^ ac ac -■' "- 3& ac NEWS OF THE NURSERY TRADE ac ac ac ac ac Fletcher Bohlender, of the Spring Hill Nurseries, at Tippecanoe City, O., is ia the east at a nursierymen 'a convention. The death of John K. Hoskin, who formerly conducted a nursery at Beading, Pa., is reported in this week's obituary column. One middle-western nurseryman who this season imported 100,000 evergreens has lost two-thirds of them as the result of no rain from June 24 to August 16. W. K. Tipton, of the Little Eock Nursery Co., at Little Kock, Ark., will spend several weeks in the northwest after attending the Minneapolis convention. He will study the park systems of the cities in that region. At the summer meeting of the Michi- gan State Horticultural Society, at Law- ton, Mich., August 14, Robert A. Smythe, of Benton Harbor, gave a discussion of the fruit package marking law, which went into effect the following day. The nurseries in the heat and drought afflicted area in the middle west report young stock as having made, in many cases, less than half the normal growth, with the prospect that, if there is a wet autumn, proper ripening will not be secured. Wm. a. Peterson, Chicago, has been devoting the month to visiting the nurs- eries in the middle west, returning to Winona Lake, Ind., for the week ends. Mrs. Peterson is a leader of the Bethany Girls, who have a cottage for sixty at the lake. The New Haven Nurseries, New Haven, Mo., is the property of J. Bagby & Son Co. A wholesale and retail busi- nesB is done. The business was estab- lished in 1872 and incorporated in 1892, The officers of the corporation are: Pres- ident, Julian Bagby; secretary, John L. Bagby; treasurer, E. J. Bagby. The Florida Nursery & Trading Co., with Alex, McEae as manager, conducts what is known as the Piney Woods Nursery, near Florala, in southern Ala- bama, close to the Florida border line. About 160 acres of the nursery have been planted with Satsuma orange and pecan trees, LITTOOY ON PRODUCTION. In his address before the Idaho State Nursery Association on ' ' Orchard Plant- ing Not Overdone," Secretary J. F. Littooy stated that east of the moun- tains probably not more than twenty- five per cent of the total number of trees planted were ever commercially profitable. Under irrigation the pro- ductiveness increased, raising the num- ber that were profitable to perhaps fifty per cent. In his estimation, there will be less commercial planting for the next year or two, but within five years the production and distribution will be so well in hand that increased planting will prove profitable. According to Mr. Littooy, the growing, grading and packing will all ultimately be under the supervision of the central sale associa- tion. THE QUESTION OF QUARANTINE. "J doubt not that some of you will honestly object to quarantining a local- ity," said A, J, Cook, the California commissioner of horticulture, before the Northwest Inspectors' Association re- cently, "I know it may injure a nur- seryman who may be wholly innocent. The purple scale is one of our most destructive insect pests. The young, as they come from eggs beneath the parent scale, are extremely minute. The best inspector would generally fail to detect them. They spread by crawl- ing on the feet of birds or onto insects and being carried to other trees, per- haps rods away. Thus the trees of a nursery in the region of purple scale infestation may carry these minute larvse, too small for detection, to an orchard and county which before was free of the insect. Were I purchasing citrus trees, I would not on any ac- count purchase trees in a nursery in close apposition to trees infested with purple, red or black scales, I hold that I should be as cautious in safe- guarding the interests of others as I would those of my own. "The next question is also one which is likely to brook opposition. Are we warranted in rejecting an entire ship- ment when on inspection possibly only a single specimen is discovered?

"In connection with the general nur- serymen's problems, the question arises as to just what is the best method of working out these problems, ' ' said Prof. H. S. Jackson, of the Oregon Agri- cultural College, in his paper on "I^r- serymen's Problems in Fungous and Bacterial Diseases," before the A, A, N,, at Portland, "On account of the fact that the time of our experiment station workers is entirely taken up with the producers' probteaas, it is dif- ficult for them to arrange to make spe- cial investigations of the nurserymen's problems. It would seem, therefore, that it woold be most desirable for the nurserymen to take up the matter of investigating these problems them- selves. This work, however, should, if possible, be carried on in cooperation FELIX & DYKHUIS. HIGH CKAOe SOSKOOe NURSCRy- STOCK BOSKOOr- HOLLAMD. f 'ffK rO^>-rtf»Vi ^-^Vi FRon Holland TAR.

SMITH COMPANY. G«evi, N. Y. 67 TBAHS 1000 ACBBB with agricultural colleges and experi- ment stations. "One of the best methods of working out the problems of a special industry, such as the nurserymen's, is that adopted by the Cornell, N. Y., experi- ment station. The plant pathology de- partment of that institution has ar- nuged for the establishment of what they term investigatorships, Or indus- trial fellowships. Several of these in- vestigatorships have already been estab- lished, and some of them have been in successful operation several years. One of these has been in cooperation with various nursery companies for the in- vestigation of the method of control of the fire blight, which is a serious nur- serymen's problem in New York state. Under the terms of this investigator- ahip, the association or company wish- ing the work done provides funds for the hiring of one or more assistants whose duty it shall be to investigate thoroughly the problems in question. The work is under the close supervision of those in charge of the department of plant pathology at the experiment station, who outline the work and give advice and direction, as needed. The final results are published, and thus be- come available to all concerned. "Under this method the nurserymen of any particular state could cooperate in raising a fund for the investigation of problems which might be peculiar to the conditions of that state. This same method could also be applied to the investigation of nursery problems other than those relating to plant diseases." BOOT GALL NOT DANQESOUS. According to the report of E. A. Smith, chairman of the committee on root or crown gall, at the Portland con- vention of the A. A, N., the investi- gations which have been carried on dur- ing the last year would indicate that root, or crown gall, is not so dangerous as some state inspectors believe. In spite of the fact that consignments of stock have been burned and heavy losses inflicted upon the nurserymen De- cause some inspectors have detected traces of crown gall, the investigations seem to show that its eflfect is trifling, if any, other than causing trees to bear early. The Maryland sub-committee, J. G. Harrison & Sons, stated: "Our own plantings and experience the last year confirm the belief, more than ever, that root gall is less dangerous than it has been considered in the past. Some peo- ple want a tree that will mature fruit at an early age. I am inclined to think that rop^ gall is not severe on a tree, as it nas a tendency to have it come into bearing at an earlier stage." A. E. Bobinson, the Massachusetts sub-committee, reported: "So far as we can see, there is no perceptible dif- ference in the growth made by trees infected with crown gall, previously Peony Snaps for Early Orders Per doz.

I have made another planting this season, which is to be under the direct observation of our state nursery inspectors." In New Zealand the question is being discussed as strongly as here, but the agricultural department seems to have been caught in some unfortunate blun- ders. The following clippings from the New Zealand Herald, which were pre- sented by Mr. Smith, show the situa- tion there, and perhaps it is not far from that in this country: "The agricultural department de- clared root knot an infectious disease in New Zealand, but fixed upon perfectly natural excrescences on apple tree roots as the disease in question. An exam- ination of the roots was made, and it was proved that they were not affected with root knot. Some of the worst samples were taken to one of the great- est authorities, who, after carefully ex- amining the roots under a microscope, declared there was no disease present. The department had taken perfectly natural root forming material for the disease known as root knot. Seeking to get further information, another expert was sought, who confirmed this opin- ion." "The action of the agricultural de- partment in New Zealand has caused a loss of from $100,000 to $150,000 to the nurserymen alone. ' ' Kalamazoo, Mich. — Julius P. Romein collected the amount of $91.25 due him in wages from the Kalamazoo Floral Co., by issuing garnishments through the municipal court against fourteen of ^the company's debtors.

Up to the time of writing, the month has proved one of the slowest summer months this market has had in many years. Plenty of good stock is to be had, but there is little demand for it. As a result, the prices are extremely low. This same state of affairs, gener- ally speaking, hag existed since the first of the month, except that as the month progressed the call for stock seemed to decrease more and more. Asters are of better quality and are arriving in larger quantities than at any time heretofore. The first of the large branching asters have made their ap- pearance and have, up to this time, sold nicely. Plenty of stock in the full range of colors is to be had. The gladi- olus market is still crowded. Only the blooms of real quality sell at all readily; a good many must be jobbed to move them; the poor stock finds no market. The rose market, too, is overcrowded. Almost all the growers shipping into this market seem to be in crop. The re- ceipts include some fine Maryland, Kais- erin, Taft and Killarney. The request for these flowers, however, is so limited that the best of them are hardly cleaned up. The amount of short stock is large. There are again plenty of Easter lilies, but the demand for them is not particu- larly active. Other offerings include auratums, pond lilies, hardy hydrangeas and Golden Glow. The green goods sup- ply is sufficient, with the exception of smilaz. Various Notes. C. L. Baum, of Knoxville, Tenn., spent Sunday in this city and Newport, Ky., Qfl his way to the convention. C. E. Critchell received during the last week large shipments of artificial flowers and supplies, which place his stock on hand in its normal condition again. E. G. Gillett, who has been sojourning in Traverse City with his wife and daughter, writes that he will be home on Saturday, August 23, after a short visit in Grand Eapids, Detroit and Toledo.

The Florists' Review 101 i The Best That The Future Has To Offer IT IS our custom to handle only varieties we believe to be worthy of a place in the best commercial eitablishments. The new Roses we have offered in past seasons have made a reputation for them- selves and the character of stock we have sent out has made an enviable reputation for our firm. €LWe offer Killarney Brilliant in the belief that it is the coming standard of perfection. We have arranged with the originators for eyes for grafting purposes. We can supply any quantity you may require. Killarney Brilliant A sport from Killarney, grown in the open ground in EnglAnd. Killarney was introduced in ]8'.I8, and since then there have been so many sports that Killarney has developed into a type rather than a variety. Messrs. Alexander Dickson & Sons, the original intro- dacers, are to be congratulated, sixteen years alter the advent of Killarney, In giving us now this distinct novelty which is undoubt- edly the best of all varieties of this type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent, while the flower is twice as large, having 25 to 40 full-sized petals. It will be as useful for Summer blooming as for Winter forcing. The color It a very brilliant pink and varies like Killarney ; in bright weather it is almo«t crimson, and in dull weather, when Killarney is so pale, it is as bright as Killarney at Its best. The sale of Killarney Brilliant a jear before its Introduction has been larger than that of any other Rote ever sent out in this country. Grafted Plants, 75c each; $7.50 per dozen; $35 00 per 100; $300.00 per 1000. A. N. PIERSON, Inc., New CanntiM Gbria (H. W. Field and A. N. Pierson, Inc.) In offering this new Carnation lo the trade, we offfr what we believe to be a paying commercial variety: strong in growth, making a quantity of flowering shoots rather than wonderful length of Individual stems. In color, the brightest pink we have ever seen In a carnation, and a color that will sell, which, com- bined with good calyx, fair-sized blooih and great production, makes this an attractive proposition to a man who knows Carna- tions. Rooted Cuttings for December. $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. Enchantress Supreme As the best of the Enchantress family it needs no description. An improvement in color, in form of flower on a race of Carna- tions that have stood the test of time. We have a large stock. Rooted Cuttings for December and later, $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.

FRANK OECHSLIN, 4911 WEST QUINCY STREET, CHICAGO, ILL Mention The ReTlew when yon write. TEBBE HAUTE, IND. The hot, dry weather is playing havoc with the outdoor stock here. The car- nations suffer a great deal in the dry, sandy soil of this region. Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Stover are leaving this week for a visit to their old home Jn Grand Bapids, Mich. Heinl & Weber are just finishing an- other house, 25x100 feet, a feature of which is the use of concrete for the benches. The house is to be planted with - carnations. The Terre Haute Eose & Carnation Co. has commenced work on an addi- tion, 27x150 feet, to the plant, which will probably be devoted to carnations. After about a month at the shop on Wabash avenue, the Owl Floral Co. closed up and retired from business. Fred G. Heinl, accompanied by his wife and daughter, left last week for St. Louis, with the intention of joining the St. Louis florists on their boat trip up the river to St. Paul. F. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Various Notes. E. T. Stowell, with Augspurger & Sons, of Peoria, 111., called on the trade last week with a line of plants. Albert Pittet has returned from a two months' visit in Switzerland. W. J. Vesey, Jr., of Ft. Wayne, spent a day in the city last week. E. A. Nelson has returned from a fishing trip at Webster lake. A. F. Longren, of Chicago, Mr. Bay- ersdorfer, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Eos- nosky, with the H. F. Michell Co., were callers last week. Bertermann Bros. Co. has one of its delivery cars out of the paint shop, look- ing like a new car. E. T. Barnes, of Spencer, Ind., is ship- ping quantities of gladioli into this mar- ket. H. L. W. Maquoketa, la. — H. L. Hill is build- ing three new greenhouses, one 10x72, and the others 18x75. Hotbeds will be installed this fall. A space 26x80 feet in front of the buildings is to be used for landscape gardening for dis- play purposes. POINSETTIAS The panning season is now on.

The Newport Horticultural Society held an interesting meeting on Tuesday evening, August 12, when several mat- ters of importance were considered, in- eluding arrangements for the society's autumn flower show and annual dance, which will be held at the beach; an in- vitation from the Garden Association to join in an outdoor and tent exhibition next summer, and the presentation of a watch to Daniel J. Coughlin, who has been secretary of the society for several years. Mr. Coughlin, who has been for the last twelve years gardener for E. Rollins Morse, at Villarosa, is to leave Newport next month to take charge of the large estate of H. P. Davison, of New York, at Locust Valley, Long Island. The committee announced that the society 's autumn show would be held in the Convention hall at the beach, Sep- tember 16 to 18, the annual ball to be held in the dance hall on the night of the closing day of the show. A com- mittee of arrangements for the exhibi- tion was named, including James Boyd, James Robertson, Daniel Hay, William P. Smith, John T. Allan, Carl M, Bug- hold and John P. Hammond. The com- mittee on the ball consists of John T. Allan, James Robertson, William P. Smith, William McKay, John B. Urqu- hart, William Gray and Frederick Car- ter. The oflSce of secretary, made vacant by Mr. Coughlin 's resignation, will be filled by William Gray until the annual election in December. Various Notes. Dennis Foley, who has been foreman under Daniel J, Coughlin on the E. Rol- lins Morse estate, Villarosa, has suc- ceeded Mr. Coughlin as gardener.

By sowing at once a uli crop can be had at East«r, which will continue until July, bf>ag heaviest at Memorial Day, when this picture was taken. We hare said that there was nothing in sight but blossoms aud dollars, and it is a fact. Silver Pink from seed is easy to grow and anyone can do as well by following directions. Whether you grow Snapdragons from seed or cuttings, they should be timed to flower with as little pinching as possible. Plants produced ahead of time and held back by pinching lose vitality and often throw blind shoots. By sowing seed now and pinching once you will have fine, stocky plants, ready for the bench in November. Our free cultural directions cover all of the necessary points for success with Silver Pink from seed. You will note how soccwsful many of our patrons have been. Gude Bros., Wasbi' gton, D.

A considerable number of table decoratio'ns were called for, and many palms and cut flowers were used at the different commandery headquar- ters. AstCTs and gladioli »T9 in raid- season. Sweet peas are scarce and of poor quality. Good roses and carna- tions are at a premium. There is an abundance of outdoor stock, but no market for it. Various Notes. Charles Benson has moved to his own range of glass on South Grant street, as his lease has expired on James Davis' place on Lowell boulevard. James Davis is again in the harness and will grow mixed stock for the market. Ben Boldt has remodeled his green- houses and has added an auto- truck for delivering. George H. Cooper has been away on a well earned vacation, but was back at 'his store for the conclave rush. There were several visiting florists among the Knights Templar, but the writer was unable to obtain their names. The florists of Denver were represented during the conclave by Sir Knights Ben Boldt and Carl Gross. Several nice window displays were made for the con-, elave by the Park Floral Co., the Alpha Floral Co. and the Boldt-Lundy Flower Shop. L' SPBINGFIELD, O. The plant of the Reeser Floral Co., at Urbana, O., consisting of fourteen houses covered by about 30,003 square feet of glass, and including approximately ten acres of land, has been taken over by the Good & Reese Co., of this city, for a consideration uhderstood to have been about $12,000. The Reeser Co. origin- ally did a retail catalogue mail-order business, but for several years its crops have been sold at wholesale, largely to Springfield florists. The brothers, John M. and Frank E. Good, who put through the deal, cannot be interviewed at this writing, being on their annual outing at Grand Lake, Mich. It is reported, however, that the product of the place will be taken by the Good & Reese Co., but that a sepa- rate corporation will be formed and that Roger H. Murphoy and "William H.

The Market. Market conditions are unchanged. Gla- dioli, asters and short roses are plentiful. Giganteum lilies are fine and find ready sale for funeral work. Valley is plenti- ful. Green goods are equal to all de- mands. Field-grown carnations are scarce in this locality and, with the dry, warm weather, aA not making much growth. Several firms are completing their plantings this week. Ohio Gladiolus Show. The first exhibition of the Ohio Gladi- olus Society was held Friday, August 15, and continued over Saturday. The dou- ble store room at 5709 Euclid avenue, in which the show was held, was com- pletely filled with spikes of gladioli of every color and hue. Three hundred and fifty vases containing over 6,000 spikes and comprising about 150 to 175 vari- eties, exhibited by nineteen growers, is the story of the show in a nutshell. The quality of the displays has never been surpassed by any gladiolus show the writer has seen. The Ohio Gladiolus So- ciety is coming back to Cleveland next year with, they say, the finest show ever made. Exhibits were made by the following firms: H. J. Alford Co., Garrettsville ; Werner Bros., Painesville; M. Crawford Co., Cuyahoga Falls; Bidwell & Fobes. Kinsman; Munsell & Harvey, Ashta- bula; C. Betscher, Canal Dover; E. E. Huntington, Painesville; Joe Coleman, Lexington; N. L, Crawford, Grafton; A. H. Austin Co., Wayland; Perkins-King Co., West Mentor; W. A. Christy, War- ren; J. H. Thomann, Rochester, N. Y.; O. H. Ketcham, South Haven, Mich.; C. W. Brown, Ashland, Mass.; Mapleshade Gladioli Farm, Warren; K, R. Taylor, Cleveland; F. W. Griffin, Cleveland. Among a number of splendid new varieties shown, the most promising were the following: Mrs. Watt, a deep wine color, shown by M. Crawford Co.; Europa, a white that is white, shown b^ R. E. Huntington and Joe Coleman; Kelway, pink, shown by R. E. Hunting- ton; Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Jr., a deli- cate pink with deep red blotches, shown by A. H. Austin Co. and N. L. Craw- ford; Mongolian, yellow, shown by C. W. Brown; La Luna, an enlargement of the Baby Blushing Bride, shown by R. E. Huntington. Joe Coleman made a fine display of standard sorts and also of a number of Kunderd varieties, the most notable of ■jvhich were Myrtle, a delicate shell pink, and Chicago White. The 11. A. Austin Co. had two of Burbank's new vari- eties, Pinnacle and Opaline. The florets of these were enormous. W. A. Christy exhibited a fine salmon seedling, un- named.

I wish you would advise me regard- ing a change which I erpect to make in my heating system. I have five green- houses, each 18x40. These are heated with 4-inch cast-iron pipes, all under the benches. I wish to change to an over- head flow pipe. What size of pipe should I use to feed three 4-inch returns, in this Kansas climate! There are two sets of these returns in each house. What is the best way to arrange these flow pipes f Carnations and general bedding stock are grown. W. P. R. A 2%-inch overhead flow pipe will be sufficiently large to supply three 4-inch returns. Except perhaps in the coldest weather, a temperature sufficient for carnations can be obtained in a house 18x40 feet by using two 2%-inch over- head flow pipes and four 4-inch returns. It will therefore be worth while to place a valve upon one of the returns in each coil. It will probably answer if one of the flow pipes is carried upon each of the wall plates, although unless the returns Simonds Heating & Specialty Co. Grand Rapids, Mich.

"The coal operators, for almost a month now, have shown a disposition to discount the coming and promised car shortage and coal shortage," says the Black Diamond, "not only by pushing the sale of coal in summer but lately by an advance in prices. The retail deal- ers, however, are not buying any large amount of coal at the advanced figures, and from reports coming from the vari- ous markets this week it seems that there is genuine and widespread rebel- lion against some of the prices that have been asked so far. "Lapt year New England had a pretty bad scare with the coal situation COAL! HARD COAL! For the month of August I will give special low prices on Hard Coal. Price goes up September 1 with all coal companies. If you want to get in on the low price, write me at once. G. R. CLARK 124 Wasiungton A?e., SCRANTON^PA.

As a consequence New England is buying coal now and putting it away. But New England doesn't care to pay in summer premium prices on coal merely to get it to avoid a possible shortage, so while New England is put- ting some coal down, it does not do so unless the price is right. "Chicago shows no disposition what ever to pay fancy prices on anything but smokeless coal, but Chicago must have smokeless coal. The belief in the coming shortage of smokeless coal still is strong. Retail dealers want that coal because they must have it to satisfy certain specific demands. The oper- A90CST 21, 1913.

We have read with interest your answers to other inquiries on heating, and any information you can give us on the following questions will be greatly appreciated, as we feel that our beating system can be greatly improved. We have what is called the uphill sys- tem for hot water, with air vents at the end farther from the boiler. These cocks need almost constant attention. We have thought of replacing them with a small pipe running out of the roof to a height above that of the expansion tank. Would this be practical! You invariably recommend the down- hill system to inquirers. Does this kind of system have any advantages over the uphill system? The top of our boiler is almost on a level with the lowest re- turns. We could lower the boiler about two feet. Would the advantage justify the expense, or is the present plan good enough! You recommend connecting the ex- pansion tank with the highest point in the system. Our local plumbers say to connect with the lowest point. Which is preferable? What is the rule for calculating the required capacity of the expansion tank? That is, how are we to know whether our tank is large enough? Are greenhouse boilers rated for hard or soft coal? Is there any difference in the grate surface required for a given amount of heating? Returns of 1^4 -inch pipe, fifty feet long, are giving us much better results than either li/^-inch or 2-inch returns of the same length. Would a return of 114-inch pipe 100 to 150 feet long be satisfactory? This is for hot water. Y. P. C.

It Is so mechanically constructed that It will sound a continuous alarm within an hour of Its last operation. If the night man falls to operate same, as It works with either closed or open circuit. The Alarm Is placed In the employer's or foreman's house (regdrdless of distance) and is only sounded when the night man falls to perform his duty. The devices that turn In the alarm may be so adjusted by employer to make it necessary for the night man to operate the Station Box at either shorter or longer intervals than once an hour and thus prevent sounding an alarm. The night man may operate the Station Boxes as often as he sees fit, but can never go over a longer period of time than that specified by the employer. The Station Box Is operated by adjusting a revolving disk from the outside by the aid of a watchman's key. Each Station Box may be equipped with a Daily recording sheet, if so desired, upon which a record is made each and every time the watchman adjusts the device, which would automatically (If not adjusted) sound an alarm, then giving you a printed record for future reference. The mechanism of this Station Box is very simple and of the very best material, and is so mechanically constructed that it is absolutely practical. It carries a two-year guarantee, but it will last years if given reasonable care. All parts are standard and can be replaced on short notice with little expense. REASONS WHY YOU NEED THIS ALARM CLOCK 1. It cannot fall to notify you when the night man Is not performing his duty. 2. It is so mechanically constructed that it is impossible for the night man to prevent an alarm being turned in If he is not performing his duty. 3. In case of emergency, the night man can reverse disk, thereby sounding continuous alarm Instantly. 4. In the event of sickness or injury, the night nlan being unable to operate the device at the appointed time, the Boxes will automatically sound continuous alarm. 5. The employer may adjust an arm to give the night man a longei or shorter period of time than an hour for making his rounds. 6. This Alarm Box may be adjusted as often as the night man may see fit, but there cannot be a longer Interval of time than that predetermined by the employer. 7. If desired, you can place said Alarm Box in a secluded place, so in case of the night man meeting with foul play, an alarm will turn in without burglars' knowledge, thus enabling the employer to arrive on the scene before place could be looted. 8. These Station Boxes may be placed in your Boiler Room, Office, Greenhouses, Mills or any desirable place where it Is necessary for your man to be at regular intervals. They are absolutely automatic, and will ring in on any failore of the Night Man. 9. The great Feature of this Alarm System is the fact that you have the Alarm in your house, and It is absolutely Silent as long as your man Is performing his duty, thereby letting you sleep. Any failure on his part. It automatically turns in a continuous alarm, awakening you and giving you a chance to find out the trouble before your boilers are ruined or any seri- ous damage has been done to your plant.

As reliance might be placed upon the vent pipe, the air might collect until circulation would be impossible, and the temperature in the house might drop until serious loss might result. There have also been instances >vhere the same results oc- curred from the end of the vent pipe being plugged up by mud wasps. If the end of the pipe, or the water level, is below the glass, there would be less ob- jection to the plan, although mud wasps might be troublesome. .^ The downhill system has two advan- tages: First, it makes it possible to connect the expansion tank with the highest point in the system and thus avoid the bother of vent cocks; second, a better circulation can be secured than with an uphill system. The circulation in a hot water heating system depends primarily upon the difference in weight of the water in the flow pipe — that is, between the boiler and the highest part of the system — and that of the water in the return pipes, or from the highest part of the system back to the boiler. The warmer the water in the flow pipes and the colder it is in the returns, the greater will be the difference in weight, and the more rapid the circulation. For this reason the distance between the boiler and the highest point in the sys- tem should be as short as possible, for a given elevation, and the flow pipes should be large, while the return pipes should be small. However, it is not well to have the return pipes too small, or too long, as the matter of friction must be taken into account. The elevation of the highest part of the system also has much to do with the «« ^X« RETURN TRAPS Save condensation and it's beat. Automatically return both to boiler with out pumping.

There are three ways of improving the circulation: First, lowering tiie boiler as suggested, which is to be recommended if the expense will not be too great; second, elevating the flow pipe, or at least the highest point in the system; third, attaching a mercurj generator, which will make it posoible August 21, 1913.

It makes no difference where the ex- pansion tank is connected, except that if attached at the highest point it will do away with the necessity for air valves. The expansion tank should be large enough to supply the water likely to evaporate from the system, as well as for the expansion of the water. The latter is usually alJout two and one-half per cent in an open system, and from three and one-half to four per cent in one that is closed. In a general way it will answer to use a tank with a capac- ity of one gallon for each 100 square feet of radiating surface, plus five gal- lons for an open tank system, and fifty per cent more than this when the sys- tem is closed. The smaller greenhouse boilers are de- signed for use with hard coal and they are rated accordingly. For use with soft coal the grate surface of such boil- ers should be increased twenty-five per cent and they should be so arranged that they can be readily cleaned. Unless the boiler is several feet below the level of the returns, it Js not ad- visable to use pipe as small as 1 14 -inch for runs of more than fifty feet, owing to the increased amount of friction in small pipes, except in connection with a closed system. STEAM OB HOT WATER? Will you please tell me the number and size of pipes, with the best ar- rangement of them, for a house 28x120, with roof bars sixteen feet long? There are sixty-four inches of glass in the walls and one end is glass. I want a temperature of 60 degrees when the out- side temperature is 10 degrees below zero. What size of boiler would be re- quired for three such houses and which would be the more economical, hot water or steam? In piping for hot water, which way should the feeds slope, up or down, toward the far end of the house? There are no benches in the house, but there are two rows of purlin posts. My location is southwest- ern Ontario. R. H. E. Hot water would be preferable for one house, but there would be little choice between steam and hot water if three houses are to be heated. Steam will be considerably less expensive to install, but the cost for fuel will be slightly greater and it will be more trouble to keep up the fire at night. The boiler for the three houses should be of at least thirty horse-power, with a Some Summer Time Things It's Time to Do wow THAT you (rrowers ate Retting your business methods down to a point where ^^ you closely cut the corners on all unnecessary expense, you are appreciating the saving there is In early overhauling your entire heating plant. This waiting until you want heat before doing anything doesn't agree with tlie careful way you do other things. Some Inconveniences— like painting— can't be helped. But this getting your heating In 8bap« can be. If your boiler needs new grates- get them now and put them in. If some of your pipe hooks have slipped and aSectod the circulation — give them attention now. If the circulation In your pipes .was sluggish last 8<>a8on, send for one of car expert heating men to go carefully over it and ferret out the trouble. If you need a new boiler, don't wait until Jack Frost forcibly calls your attention to the necessity. Order it now and make sure of its early delivery and ample time for its erection and connecting up. Very seldom you are able to accomplish things sooner than you expected. The safe way is to allow more lime than you think you need. The fact that we have bj'cn healing greenhouses for going on 64 years, is pretty strong evidence of our ability to heat them the economical way ihey should be heated.

The Florists^ Review 131 S om e Boiler Sense A few flat facts in which we tell why neither cast iron nor wrought iron boilers are the best boilers for all s^reenhouse purposes It's an old saying that "A Jack of all trades is master of none." Any boiler that claims to suc- cessfully meet all the requirements of all the green- house conditions is a Jack-of-all-trades kind of a boiler. It's no more possible to make such a boiler than it is to brew one kind of medicine to cure all the diseases from mumps to measles. So let's get right down to facts. No one, who knows anything about the compara- tive lasting qualities of iron, questions for a minute that cast iron boilers outlast wrought iron, three to one. Neither do they try to make themselves be- lieve that retubing is "not so bad after all." Every man who really knows admits that retubing is a nuisance and a big expense. No boiler maker can safely guarantee that his tubes will last a 'certain number of years. The thing that really decides that, i8 the kind of water you use and the condition of your cellar. After you have retubed your boiler you will then know how often it needs to be retubed, and what it costs. As for setting up a wrought iron boiler; it's an engineering job of no mean proportions. To secure a wagon strong enough to carry a big wrought iron boiler is a problem in itself. To get it off the cars into your cellar is a very serious mat- ter and an expensive one. Then there is the masonry work — another thing to be looked after — another expense you must not fail to allow liberally for. If you contemplate enlarging your range in the next few years, you must buy a much larger wrought iron boiler than you now need, so you will have enough to heat the new houses. Until you do build, you have a good bit of money tied up in that big boiler; money that is not earn- ing a cent. In fact, it's costing you money. Money lost in interest and money lost in lack of economy; for it's not possible to run a boiler economically that's twice as big as needed for the work it has to do. Of course you can brick off half the fire box. But right away you spoil the balance between your fire surfaces and the volume of water to be moved, as carefully figured out and allowed for by the boiler maker. This means, you must do more and harder firing and burn altogether too much coal; or else be con- tent with a sluggish circulation in your coils. There is no way to get around such a condition. Another thing — wrought iron heats slower than cast iron and soot and scales stick to it more per- sistently. Get These Facts: Now listen to this: Cast iron boilers have their limitations — wrought iron also have theirs. Each is the best for its particular purpose for which it was particularly designed. For Lord & Burnham to claim that a battery of Burnham Boilers will economically heat a range larger than 30,000 square feet of glass would be decidedly untrue. But up to this limit there is no single wrought boiler made that has the advantages and the econo- mies of the Burnham Cast Iron Boiler, This ad. is not a knock at the wrought iron boiler, ..but^simply a fair and square statement of condi- tions. A placing of each type of boiler in the place where by the very nature of its material and con- struction it places Itself. Such things are beyond argument, beyond even clever salesmen 's talks. They are facts — just plain, common-s'ense facts. As for the advantages and economies of Burnham Cast Iron Boilers over other cast iron boilers — that's another story.

Are you saving the beat and turning it back into the boilers? Can you take care of condensation without poor steam circulation, leaks or repair expenses? These are questions that are worth a thoughtful answer— they decide be- tween heating economy or beating waste, good or poor stock, success or failure. ADDRESS DEPT. "M."

IMICO HOT WATER BOILERS ESPECIALLY SUITED FOR GREENHOUSE WORK Are noted for coal economy - and good results generally.

The special fittings are helpful, but not necessary. The returns can be con- nected and carried to the Ijpiler as one 2%-inch pipe or two 2-inch pipes. SLUGGISH CIBCULATION. I wish to ask a question in regard to hot water heating. I have two houses, one of them 18x100 and the other 12x50. The flows go directly from the boiler up to the purlins and at that height to the other end of the house; then they drop down to coils under the benches. The coils are made up with return bends, so that the water travels practically 400 feet to get back to the boiler. As the coils are horizontal, it is almost impossible to get a steady fall all the way; hence pockets form and some of the coils are every little while becoming dead. There is one coil on the side wall, and that, having a good fall, heats satisfactorily. But the houses are so arranged that the rest of the coils must go under the benches. My idea is to take out the return bends and put in manifolds; then I can get a steady fall all the way. The manifolds, of course, would be horizon- tal. Do you think this would remedy the trouble? I use a mercury circula- tor. As the small house has only two returns under the benches, the piping is the same in effect as a manifold and works satisfactorily. C. P. H. The trouble is undoubtedly due largely, and perhaps entirely, to the use of the return bends, and the change |,^^^a i^ ^m j Boynton Furnace Co.

The latter, however, are not as good as one would like, but this is due to the hot, dry weather. Various Notes. The Florists' Club met August 12 for the annual election of officers. Frank Schramm, one of the youngest and most energetic florists of this city, was elected president; Max Spanner was chosen vice-president and George Schramm secretary and treasurer. The outlook of the club for this year is good. Helen F. Patten. Henry Heinl and "Will Krueger compose the member- ship committee, and they hope to be able to interest all the florists of the city in the club's work, and to gain many new members. The new presi- dent is one who will leave nothing un- done that will increase the helpfulness of the club to all of its members. Those of this citv in attendance at the convention at Minneapolis are Otto Krueger, Henry Heinl, Helen F. Fatten and Mrs. E. Suder. The last-named is our pioneer florist and the one to whom is due more credit for the progress the florists' trade has made here than to any other florist of our citv.

There was a heavy demand the first part of the week, but trade slackened up some- what towards the end. Cut stock is a little more plentiful now, but the rain, which is needed so badly, holds off, and in a great many places outdoor stock is suffering a great deal. There is a con- tinual cry for asters, but the few that arrive are quite poor, having short stems and small blossoms. There seems to be an extremely lim- ited supply of all kinds of stock. Car- nations, which have been unusually poor, are improving both in color and in size, and every one seems to be needed. Boses are more satisfactory now, but the variety is small. Indiana, which is a good, pleasing rose, would probably sell better if some fragrance were attached to it. Taft roses in all grades are better and sell quickly. My Maryland, Killarney, White Killarney, Bride and Bridesmaid are all good, but the Killarneys seem to have unusually short stems just at this season of the year. Good sweet peas can hardly be obtained, and the few that do reach the market are quickly disposed of. Orchids are extremely scarce. Lilies of the val- ley are also scarce, but Harrisii lilies are quite plentiful. "Wood ferns, Aspar- agus plumosus, maidenhair and smilax are plentiful. Various Notes.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. The Market. There has been an abundance of cut flowers, notwithstanding the fact that there has been little rain in this part of New England. Garden flowers, asters and carnations are the best sellers. The demand for roses is small. Carnations are scarce and poor in quality. Gladioli improve day by day and are much more profitable as fall comes on. Asters are coming along in fine shape and are good, considering the drought. Lilies of the valley are small, and, fortunately, there is little demand for them. Orchids sell occasionally for funerals, but that is all. Asparagus and cut ferns are abundant. Sweet peas are on the wane and are therefore quite poor. Centaureas are good sellers just now. Some florists are making up combination bouquets of gar- den flowers of various colors and kinds and they sell readily tor hospitals, siek y rooms, verandas and cemeteries. Private gardeners find it quite a task to keep their lawns in good condition this summer, because df the drought. The high water rates here are also a hindrance to the keeping of fine lawns. Various Notes. L. D. Robinson is producing some good gladioli and he has them in large quantities. His asters are mostly late ones. Osterman & Steele are showing some extra good Lilium auratum in their dis- play window this week. Bobert Schoch, of the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia, was in town for a few hours last week. He was headed for Minneapolis. N. F. Higgins had an attractive dis- play of fancy baskets, arranged with cut flowers, in his window last week. Mark Aitken has closed his sale on jardinieres, baskets and glassware, and has moved into his fine new store, at 484 Main street. The new store is most attractively finished in white enamel throughout, and has large display win- dows and two skylights, which make it practically a daylight store. Mrs. E. C.

I paid a visit recently to the home of L. A. Linen, president of the First National Bank of Scranton, who was the first in our city to take advantage of the beautiful Abington hills. His gardener, Mr. Keeves, though he has not yet had the experience of many of the old-line gardeners, has developed a liking and experience that is quite surprising, and the grounds look as if they had the "care of one with years of experience. The winding drives, golf links and tennis court cover a large area. I also visited C. D. Simpson's grounds, which are in charge of Will- iam Challis, who has been at this place since its beginning. I am always sorry on visiting this place to find that the home, after being burned, has not been rebuilt. Mr. Challis, with the aid of several men, is keeping the place up in fine condition. The flower, shrubbery and vegetable gardens are always in- teresting places in which to spend a few hours. Mr. Challis is an entertain- ing gentleman to meet and is always in- terested in everything pertaining to horticulture. He made the trip with me to C. H. Wells' summer home, a short distance from Mr. Simpson's. There we found C. A. Hampton, who had recently come to Mr. Wells. He shows that he is a man of much ex- perience in garden work in the way he has rebuilt some of the roads and in the setting of plants for summer ef- fect. The grounds were formerly laid out by Mr. Wirtz, whose health failed him and who is now in Florida. Mr. Hampton is probably more widely known to the trade, having occupied a position in Brooklyn with Mr. Stewart. His chrysanthemums are in splendid condition and promise a great crop of flowers. The shrubbery at Mr. Wells' place is interestingly and effectively arranged. The view from Mr. Wells' place is principally to the north and west, in which the famous Elk hills lie off at a distance of about sixteen miles. The cup-shaped country within this view is such that it would make a magnificent lake. The arrangement of shrubbery, flowers, drives and homes around Abington is beautiful; yet with- out the magnificent natural views these places would lose something of their charm. G- K- ^• Erie, Pa. — Miles E. Miller, formerly with Chas. G. Offerle, has resigned his position to enter business for himself at 924 Peach street. »r« aMT to Wll with The finifatii; Kind Tobacn Piwfcr $3.00 per baa 100 Iba R«tl>f»etlon ffiuti»nteed '^•— -- — ►•nbrtltntM r mone iio/«»»re'to gn»rmnt4»e? ,^-,„- _ _ tn E A. sTooiion oo, louir tnioi, i t.

It is reported to us that sash made of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago and placed in position in a greenhouse at Des Plaines, 111., in 1868, are still doings service. Jacob Fries. Bethlehem, Pa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for 30 years and are still on the job. And these are not isolated cases— they represent no more than a fair test of "The Wood Eternal" for greenhouse use. It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements. The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or contractor who wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 or 46 years to the credit of the so-called "substitute." That is no more than a fair precaution on your part— good ordinary business sense. If he would meet the Cyp];ess record with more talk* and no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood-pile." You know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress. "PECKY" CYPRESS. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon it lasts. The U. S. Govt. Kept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says- "That the disease (which produces the 'peck') has been along time preying upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from alluvial deposits many feet below the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber is pecky, though it has been buried during a period estimated at no less than 30.000 years. . . . The effect of the disease (known as 'Pecky') .... is believed to act as a preservative . . . and to hinder decay." Is 30,000 years' "hindering of deca/' long enough for YOUR greenhouse? There Is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothinsr else for benches and bench standards. It is cheap, too. A postal will do, a letter is better— either br'ngn a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Libiary (a strictly authorita- tive Teferencn work.) Vol. 3 is aU about "GRKKNHOUBB8." It is FKKK. Send for it. Also ask for Vor. 2. on Pecky"— a money-saver. Take no hearsay. GKT THK FACTS. Then ACT. Vol. 4 is the Barn Book; Vol. 36 is the Carpentry Book : Vcl. 20 is "All Farm Needs Book."

Atlee Burpee Co., told the National Sweet Pea Society that the Skinner St stem of Irrigation saved his crop of Sweet Peas and declared that no other sys- tem in use could be compared with it. " I am so well pleased with the Skinner System," wrote Mr. Burpee in a later letter, " that I think it ougbt to be her- alded broadly." With the Skinner System (either indoors or outdoors) you can cover as much area as ten men with a hose— and do it better. You simply turn on the water and go about your work. Then in twenty minutes you return and with the Skinner Patented Turning De- vice turn the water to the other side. The Skinner System cannot bruise the tenderest, most delicate plants and foliage or cake the ground, because it distributes the water in a nlist form that falls gently, like dew. Pays for Itself —Then Earns Dividends The Skinner System pays for itself and yields steady proOts by making you absolutely independent of weather con- ditions ; by enabling you to bring flowers and vegetables to an early and full maturity ; by saving your time, and by saving the wages of men that old methods of irrigation require.

The Florists' Review 9 THE CONVENTION AFTERMATH A SMALL MEETING, BUT HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LTHOUGH the attendance at the Minneapolis conven- tion was the smallest the S. A. F. has had in a good many years, there never has been a convention that was more thoroughly e»joyed by those for- tunate enough to attend. There was as much convention and exhibition as the average person cared for and there were two cities of many attractions and un- bounded hospitality to provide every form of amusement that was in demand. The ladies were entertained practically every moment of the time and the hos- pitalities problem was solved for all future convention cities. Paraphrasing the old saying, "Look out for the pen- nies and the dollars will look out for themselves," we can say with equal confidence, "Look out for the ladies and the men will look out for them- selves" convention week and have a thoroughly good time. The dispatch with which the business of the society was handled was one of the commendable features, as it gave time for other interests. Those Artificial Flowers. The special order of business for the session of Friday morning, the closing day, was the consideration of the fol- lowing recommendation of the board of directors: Resolved, That It Is the sense of the board of directors that some action be taken by the society whereby exhibits of artificial flowers at onr trade exhibitions and flower shows be ex- cluded. When the subject came up at the Lenten meeting of the board the vote on it was a tie and the president cast the deciding vote in favor of present- ing it to the society for consideration. A sharp battle had been expected when it came up on the floor of the conven- tion and a large audience was present, but, much to everybody's surprise, it was laid on the table by an overwhelm- ing vote. The retailers, led by W. F. Gude, opposed any action to eliminate artificial flowers from the trade's dis- play at the convention and expressed the opinion that the managers of na- tional and other shows possessed suflS- cieilt authority and discretion to pre- vent any exhibits of artificial flowers receiving undue prominence. Affiliation. Adolph Farenwald's plan that he calls affiliation is to receive a trial. He outlined it in a paper read at the morn- ing session August 21 and printed in full in this issue of The Review. It was referred to the board of direc- tors without much discussion and Mr. Farenwald appeared before the board that afternoon to argue that his plan be given a trial. He talked to such good purpose that the board voted to present the following to the society at the morning session August 22: It la recommended that the fee for any mem- bers of any regularly organized florists' club which wishes to Join the Society of American Florists In a body be reduced to $3 for the first year and to $2 for each succeeding year for each member, the dues to be paid to the Society of American Florists by the treasurer of each afl3Ilating club and not by the members Indi- vidually, and that the constitution and by-laws of the Society of American Florists be amended to conform to this recommendation if adopted. On the floor of the convention the society promptly adopted the recommen- dation. It will, of course, require a year's time to make the necessary amendments to the constitution and by- laws. Mothers' Day. Mothers' day got into the official records of the S. A. F. when W. F. Gude called attention to the action of the great organization of Moose, with its country-wide membership, in asking each of its members to recognize Mothers' day by wearing a flower on the second Sunday in May. Mr. Gude asked if it would not be well for the society to take some action in the mat- ter. After considerable discussion it was the consensus of opinion that, while the trade certainly welcomes such acts as that of the organization in ques- tion, it would be impolitic to recognize them in any way and thereby attract attention to the fact that florists as a body have another interest in the day than the sentimental appeal that is felt by all mankind. J. J. Hess, of Omaha, brought up the question of uniform commissions in the cases of orders transferred from one florist to another to be filled, but inasmuch as the society always has avoided everything that in any way touched on the fixing of prices, the matter was promptly tabled. Making the Garden Glad. A number of the members having asked why no recognition was given the outdoor exhibits in the reports of the judges, a committee consisting of J. R. Fotheringham, E. B. George and Walter Mott was appointed to do what they could under the society's rule that to receive an award the exhibit must be a novelty and be specially entered by the exhibitor. There were few novelties in the outdoor display and none had been entered for award. The committee, therefore, could go no fur- ther than to list the exhibits, getting each exhibitor's name and stock into the record. They did, however, go so far as to say of the exhibit of the Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., that the bed of Meteor was the best bed of cannas on the grounds, mentioning also that this, with Panama, giant salmon, Blanche Wintzer, white, Olym- pia, crimson, and Beacon, scarlet, con- stitutes a splendid set of novelties. Of the bed of Lythrum roseum edged with Vinca minor aurea. exhibited by Wm. Tricker, Arlington, N. .J., the com- mittee reported that, while past its The Canna Display of Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., at the Minneapolis Convention. 10 The Florists^ Review August 28, 1913. The Minneapolis Convention Visitors, Photographs best, it shows evidences of considerable merit. The committee continued: ' ' In the opinion of the judges great credit is due Theodore Wirth for the way he has handled the arduous task of getting exhibits together, arranging same artistically and effectively, and for the excellent care shown in the con- dition of all of the exhibits. The plan of outdoor exhibits so satisfactorily carried out here should be made an an- nual feature of the convention." Late Begistration.

It was a ducking, and what for a moment in- dicated a tragedy turned out the great- est frolic of the day. With the picnic held on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, the usual games were supplemented by a number of races on the water and the several piers in front of the dancing pavilion were crowded while these were being run off. Sud- denly, without warning, the underpin- ning along one side of the extreme twenty feet of the south pier dropped out, tipping the planking to the point where everybody at the end of the pier slid off into the water in the sight of fully 300 friends gathered on shore. For a moment there was the wildest confusion, but then it was found that those who had got their bear- ings had their feet on the bottom and were wading ashore. Others were pulled out onto the pier and into boats. The greatest depth of water was not over five feet, and with the realization that there was no danger the affair turned into a frolic. Of those in the water, many were contestants in the sports, and had on bathing suits, while several of the women were not of the florists' party, but had been drawn to the usually quiet spot by the prospect of amusement. Among the well known persons who went in there were the fol- lowing: Foehlmann, A. F. , Morton Grove, III. Foehlmann, Mist Virginia, Morton Orove, 111. Foehlmann, Adolph, Morton Grove, 111. Foehlmann, Miss Vera, Morton Grove. 111. Foehlmann, Miss Edna, Morton Grove, 111. Foehlmann, John, Chicago. Michell, Fred J., Jr., Fhiladelphia. Roland, Thomas, Nahant, Mass. Anderson, O. C, Morton Grove, III, Sitllivan, "Wm., Chicago, Adolph and John Foehlmann went in- to shallow water and easily waded ashore, but August Foehlmann and the girls were at the extreme end of the pier. The girls are expert swimmers and looked out for themselves. When August Foehlmann went down he had Mrs. Foehlmann 's wrap on his left arm — and it was there when they took him into the pavilion to exchange his wet clothing for a nice dry baseball suit. Several of the ladies were taken to the neighboring summer home of Frank Feterson, of St. Faul, where they were loaned dry clothing in which to return to the city. The outing was a great success. THeven chartered cars on the Minne- tonka Electric line took the party to Tonka bay, arriving there about 10:30, 500 strong. The first thing on the pro- gram was the annual ball game, All Stars against the local team. The re- sult was a victory for the Minneapolis Florists' club, as follows: 1 2 .3 4 5 6 T'l 0 0 1 0 0 0—1 0 0 0 1 0 1—2 All Stars .Minneapolis F. C. The teams lined up as follows: MINNEAPOLIS— ALL STARS— Von 88 Pochlmann ss Rovik lb Randall cf Miller 2b Burger 2b Schnelderhun p Beuerleln c Otto cf Graham lb Johnson If Zech .% Matthews rf Jones cf Dnllcv c Miller p Peterson 3b Perl rf It had been agreed that five innings should be played, but the tied score necessitated a sixth. The home team had the advantage of having played together before and gave Schnelderhun. their pitcher, better support than the other side could do. A. Miller, of Chi- cago, pitched for the All Stars and with Charles Beuerlein, of Elmhurst, N. Y., for backstop, presented strong defense. The grounds were extremely poor, so that errors were unavoidable. The rooters were busy. The interest far exceeded that taken in the bowling. Dinner was well served at several long tables set in the grove. In the afternoon a long program of races kept the boys and girls busy, with an occasional event to tempt the fathers and mothers to renew their youth. At the same time there was dancing in the pavilion and a concert by a military band. The steamer Furi- tan had been chartered to make hourly trips around the lake.

Action of prime importance to the 1,613 members of the Florists' Hail As- sociation, no less to the owners of the 23,988,651 square feet of double-thick glass insured than to the owners of the 4,999,795 square feet of single-thick glass so protected, was taken at the annual meeting at Minneapolis when the directors were instructed to fix rates annually in future in accordance with the actual cost of insurance for each class averaged for the preceding ten years. It was a radical departure, as in the past a flat rate has been charged, 10 cents per hundred square feet for single-thick and 6 cents per hundred square feet for double-thick. Experience has proved that the rates were not equitable, so the constitution and by-laws were amended in such a way that in future the rates will rise and fall in accordance with the losses on each kind of glass. Based on the a-'erage results of the last ten years, the rate next year will be 15 cents per hundred square feet on single-thick and 6 cents per hundred square feet on double-thick. Another and scarcely less important amendment was one which will be retroactive in the sense that it will apply to losses of the past. It was de- cided that when a second loss occurs within five years that risk goes at once into the extra hazardous class and for each such loss within five years an ad- ditional ten per cent will be added to the rate. A member, then, who has sus- tained a loss each year for five years will pay fifty per cent more than the rate fixed for those who have not had more than one loss in five years. The meeting had the usual attend- ance of active members. The follow- ing oflicers were elected: President — E. G. Hill. Richmond, Ind., reelected. Vice-president — J. F. Ammann, Ed- vvardsville. 111. Treasurer — Joseph Heacock, Wyncote, Pa., reelected. Secretary — J. G. Esler, Saddle River, X. .T., reelected. Directors — A. Rasmussen, New Al- bany, Ind., and J. C. Vaughan, Chicago, reelected; Fred Busch, Minneapolis, to take the place made vacant by the death of John T. Temple; C. L.

A summary of the reports of the secretary and treasurer covering the operations of the last year was printed in last week's issue of The Review. LADIES' S. A. F. [The election of officers and the entertainment features were covered In last week's report.] The report of the secretary, presented at the annual meeting at Minneapolis, showed 273 members from 1912, with twenty-sfx added to the roll at Minne- apolis, making a total of 299. The treas- urer's report showed receipts of $667.01, disbursements of $457.68 and a balance of $209.33. A national bowling organization was formed, with Miss Matilda Meinhardt as captain, Mrs. Frank Traendly as secretary, and Mrs. George Asmus as treasurer, the dues of $1 per year to be used to buy prizes. It was voted to establish life mem- berships, the fee to be $10, the proceeds to be kept in a separate fund and in- vested. The retiring president, Mrs. F. H. Traendly, was presented with a brace- let containing a gold watch with locket attached. The ladies feel that their society was much better represented than was any other, their attendance being sixty- seven, as follows: • MEMBERS. Ammann, Mrs. J. F., EdwardsviUe, 111.

A. Farenwald was the only Philadel- phian present who didn't have some- thing to sell! The restaurant in the annex saved a lot of time and carfare. The hall is over a mile from the hotel district. C. E. Schaeffer, of La Crosse, is the season's addition to the list of enter- tainers. His antics kept the crowd in a roar. The M. Rice Co. exhibit entire was sold to Miss H. B. Whitted, to whom some refer as the Thorley of Minneap- olis. What effect will the small attend- ance at Minneapolis have on San Fran- cisco's chances of getting the conven- tion in 1915! Holm & Olson's establishment in St. Paul attracted many visitors, and they all had something to say of admiration for the facilities and evidences of busi- ness to be seen there. Emil Leuly, a carnation grower of West Hoboken, N. J., bicycled his way across the country to Minneapolis, averag- ing ninety miles a day. W. A. Manda came direct from the international show at Ghent, Belgium, to the convention, making a journey of 4,500 miles to be present two days. Boston has some ambitious plans for next year's convention, looking to a continuation of the outdoor display. There may be a distinctly novel ar- rangement. Probably twenty-five parties of con- vention visitors motored to and from Minneapolis, not to mention Emil Leuly, who biked from New Jersey, 1,500 miles. Not in any recent year has the gain in S. A. F. membership been so great in proportion to the attendance as it was at Minneapolis. Every fourth man was a new member. The retail florists who attended the convention said Minneapolis is one town among a thousand; the flower business there is almost as good in the summer as in the winter. Theodore Wirth is a genius of the kind the philosopher had in mind when he made the remark about the infinite capac- ity for taking pains. Mr. Wirth does not overlook the smallest detail. W. L. Rock went to northern Minne- sota on a fishing trip after the conven- tion. He likes Minneapolis so well a little encouragement might get him to open a branch store there. In twenty-five years Harry A. Bun- yard has missed only one convention, that at Asheville. It was noticeable that real novelties were conspicuously few this year. The trade's standards now are so high that a new plant of necessity must possess decided merit to command attention. James B. Shea, superintendent of parks, Boston, was on his way to Den- ver, where he is presiding at a meeting of the American Park Superintendents' Association, of which he is president. Entertaining the ladies rather than the men proved to be a happy hit. The ladies had the time of their lives in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and they all will want to go to the next convention. The final resolutions, though not many heard them, must have been some- thing out of the ordinary. The com- mittee to draft them, appointed by the president, consisted of W. J. Stewart, Michael Barker and A. T. De La Mare. No complaint was heard this year from the trade exhibitors because the admission of the public interfered with business. A Philadelphia salesman was seen making his way to the armory one morning with a Phillips novel under his arm. Wallace Pierson, P. J. Foley, Albert Pochelon and Roman J. Irwin got up at daylight the day of the picnic and had taken forty-eight fish out of Lake Minnetonka before the balance of the crowd arrived there. One of their pick- erel weighed six pounds. The advent of the automobile has added immeasurably to the pleasures of attending conventions. The cars of the local members, and of those who had driven to the convention, always were at the service of those who wanted to make a run to some point of interest. F. T. D. Pochelon was about the busiest man at the convention. Per- haps no one in the United States is doing more than he to create new busi- ness for the trade. Like Colonel Sellers, he believes "there's millions in it" — referring to the telegraph delivery of flowers. The S. A. F. received official invita- tion from the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition to hold its 1915 con- vention in San Francisco. Col. Daniel O'Connell Lively, representing ,1. H. Dennison, chief of the department of agriculture of the exposition, and him- self chief of the live stock department, made an address on the last afternoon, telling of the possibilities of the expo- sition. He told of arrangements being made for the horticultural display and of the capabilities of the climate for floriculture. He also explained the gen- eral progress of the exposition, of the arrangements for the Brazilian orchid display, which promises to be the most costly array of flowers ever collected.

Before the close of the convention the Boston delegation had decided that there must be outdoor exhibits next year. It was figured that the park people will help, as they did at Minne- apolis, with the garden in the Back Bay fens, close to the Arena and Horti- cultural hall. The registration was 408. It included local members and a few of the ladies, but does not represent the total attend- ance, as many members failed to put their names on the secretary's book, and quite a few non-members were present, as usual, and these do not get on the register. One of the meetings everybody was interested in was that of the Get To- gether Club, organized at Minneapolis just before the bowling. There was a celebration at Hotel Andrews that night. Harry Papworth presided and practically the entire Chicago represen- tation was present. It was explained that the super- heated, moisture-laden atmosphere of the first two days was provided so that the visitors might feel at home, and the delightfully cool, bracing weather of the latter part of the week to give an opportunity to appreciate the normal climate of the Twin Cities, Souvenirs were abundant, but not all of them especially appropriate. Not many offered anything more appropri- ate than did Hummel & Downing Co., the Milwaukee manufacturers of flo- rists' boxes. Each visitor at the booth was handed a cigar put up in a little folding box that just fitted it. Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., says that he contented himself with taking space for a bed of one variety of gla- diolus only, his new white. Peace, in the face of Mr. Wirth's assurance that he would be sorry he did not take space for others. He adds that the minute he walked into the garden he conceded Mr. "Wirth was right; he was sorry. The complimentary concert for the S. A. F. tendered by the park board attracted a big crowd to the pavilion on the shores of Lake Harriet. Nelson and his orchestral band play there nightly. For this occasion a special program had been printed. Each of the eleven numbers bore the name of an officer or director of the S. A. F. in place of the composer, and beneath it was a humorous appreciation of the member. There was much hilarity. "In the Rose Garden" was written by Con- ductor Nelson specially for this event and dedicated to the S. A. F. The president make a speech of appre- ciation and presented Director Nelson with a gold-headed cane and a bouquet, after which W. F. Gude gave the retir- ing official the annual chest of silver. Henry Emunds, of Belleville, 111., sent a box of cannas that did not ar- rive until the convention was well along and which did not, perhaps, re- ceive the attention they deserved. With them be sent a letter as follows: "I sent today to my friend, Mr. L. Dintlemann, at present at the conven- tion, a box of flowers of my new canna. Knowing that cannas are not cut flower varieties, I shall not expect them to arrive there in perfect condition. The only object was to show that they are a real sport, with green leaves and yel- low flowers, of King Humbert. There are two stocks in this bunch which will prove that this is true. The first time this new canna was mentioned in The Review was .Tune 15, 1911, in the St. Louis items, when I showed a plant at one of the St. Louis club meetings. Note the flowers and large and glossy leaves. Personally, I will say that it is a stronger grower and brings twice as many shoots to a plant as does King Humbert. The clusters of flowers, as you will see, are also much larger, be- ing evenly spotted and orchid-like. With permission of the Queen of Italy, the canna shall be called Queen Helen."

We shall be thankful to you if you will inform us at once as to how to make good liquid putty, to be used on old greenhouses. C. A. D. C. Putty, whether liquid or paste, is made principally of whiting and linseed oil. The addition of about five per cent of white lead increases its durability. To secure a first-class article, enough oil should be mixed with the whiting to make a fairly firm paste, which should then be run through a paint- grinding machine. Sufficient oil should then be added to bring the putty to the desired consistency, which will vary somewhat, according to the form of putty machine used for applying it. Unless one needs a considerable quan- tity, it will generally be found more satisfactory to buy one of the com- mercial brands, such as are advertised in The Review, rather than attempt to manufacture it, especially in the liquid form. T. August 28, 1913. The Florists' Review 15 AFFILIATION: fe se A PLEA FOR UNITY THE history of affiliation in our na- tional society has not been a suc- cessful one. Present and past lead- ers have tried in vain to amalgamate the scattered interest, but we cannot stand still, we must advance; so when I come before you with an old topic, but on new lines, I ask you to consider it carefully. Don 't be hasty in your judg- ment to condemn. Everyone who is in the profession should try to see his na- tional society strong and able to take care of all our interests. The merging of the membership of the florists' clubs does not touch a special interest. It does not interfere with the workings of a rose society, carnation society or others, but the interests would blend nicely together, as most of the members of these independent societies would then be members of the S. A. F. as well, and if properly handled the merging should prove a boon to the florists' clubs as well as to the S. A. F. Influence of Florists' Clubs. March 29 an article by me advocated the merging of the florists' clubs' mem- bership into the fold of our national society. I said then I was surprised that the florists' clubs had not been merged into the S. A. F. long ago, as that seems the easiest and best way of starting affiliation. I think I can say to you without contradiction that the florists' clubs are the direct offspring of the national society, and therefore we owe her something. The oldest club in the country, the Philadelphia club, was started to enter- tain the national society. After this was successfully done, the most of the public-spirited and wise got together and thought best to try and keep together those men who had got acquainted by this time, and to form a permanent club on the same lines as the S. A. F., but locally only, and they won out. It was not long before other good and true men in the large cities took up the good work started in Philadelphia. Florists' clubs were started everywhere over the country. Who will estimate the good these florists' clubs have done to our profession t Again I will say, and I think without contradiction from you, that if these florists' clubs had not come to life, our profession would not have attained the high standard it has today. Well and good so far. Holding the Members. Now, fellow members, I do not believe that there is one among you who will not agree to this, that there is strength in concentration of effort. Here we are, members of the S. A. F., joined in con- vention to uplift and advance our pro- fession. Once a year we come together from all over this great country to coun- sel. The most of us have not seen each other or heard from each other for a year, and in many instances for several years, because often one cannot get away to come a long distance to attend the convention. Years go by, and one An address by A. Farenwald. of Roslyn, Pa., delivered before the Society of Aiiierioaii Flo- rists at the Minneapolis conTention, August 22, 1913. loses interest in the doings of our na- tional society. That is only natural. Now, this loss of interest of the indi- vidual member is what keeps our na- tional society from growing to dimen- sions it should long ago have attained. Not that the individual member was not able to attend the convention, but to keep his interest alive is the vital question. If we can do this, he will be with us always in spirit, if not in per- son. At present he pays his yearly dues, and he receives the proceedings of the convention, and thereby can keep him- self posted if he reads it. But how many dof The trade papers bring an account of the whole transaction and the essays as well, but that about ends the direct influence of the S. A. F. for a year with most members. With flo- rists' clubs it is different; they meet once a month to bring their members there to listen, to think and to enjoy. That holds their interest. By merging with these clubs, we can bring the same interest to bear on the affairs of our national society in these monthly meet- ings. That would keep the interest alive. We could discuss and digest af- fairs long before we meet in our yearly convention, when we will have a proper understanding of what is wanted of us. Fluctuations of Interest. No more striking illustration can I bring before you of what it means to come in contact with the members and hold their interest in our convention, than by showing you the records of the S. A. F. of the last three years, regard- ing membership fluctuations in the states where the conventions were held, New York, Maryland and Illinois. Illinois had in 1910 seventy registered mem- bers; in 1911, the number was seventy- four; in 1912, when the convention was held in Chicago, it jumped to 195. Maryland in 1910 had thirty registered members; in 1911, when the convention was held at Baltimore, the number in- creased to sixty-nine; in 1912, it fell back to forty-seven. New York's mem- bership stayed around 130 to 170 for several years; in 1910, it jumped to 238 when the convention was held in Roches- ter. Last year it dropped back to 220, on the downward grade again. These figures prove beyond doubt that we must get closer together and keep in touch A.dolph Farenwald, the Great Affiliator. 16 The Florists' Review AuocsT 28, 1913. throughout the year, bo that the interest in our national society will be kept alive. As long as we are not able to hold these fluctuating members, progress, which is essential to usefulness, will be slow and half-hearted. Once the step is taken to unify our much-scattered interest, other societies will soon follow, as the bene- fits derived from concerted action are so many, and so obvious, that they can- not fail to appeal to societies fighting single-handed for advancement. A great and strong national society will carry a dignity with it which alone is worth a great deal to every member of our profession, and I feel quite sure it will bring about a change in the attitude of those of the up-growing generation in regard to horticulture. Ihey will come to realize that it is a science as high in aim and as liroad in scope as any. This will bring about a higher standard of men employed in horticul- ture, which in time will work great changes for the betterment of all. Work of W. R. Smith. I never had the pleasure to get close to our late friend and member, W. R. Smith, of Washington, D. C, so 1 cannot say for a certainty what was in his mind when for over ten years he tried his best to get the S. A. F. a national char- ter, a most unusual thing, so I have been informed. I think he was a great dreamer, one of those gifted men who imagine things, and I have no doubt in my mind that, when he tried to get this charter, his vision showed him the great destiny of horticulture, and while a dreamer, he was still practical enough to try to give his beloved profession the cloth of security and dignity it needed. He was successful in his attempt, and we reverence him for his achievement. We are thinking of erecting a suitable memorial for our late friend, W. B. Smith, but, fellow members, what bet- ter memorial can we put up tor him than to build along the lines he dreamt about, a strong and powerful national society of horticulture, built to promote and take care of its various interests? I feel confident that such must have been his thoughts, and when once these hopes are realized, the gratitude in the hearts of thousands of men in our pro- fession, where there are only hundreds now, for the man who long ago saw and provided, as I have said before, the cloth of security and dignity for it — this gratitude in our hearts toward his mem- ory is the finest memorial we can be- stow on him, and I feel sure he does not wish for any better. Advantages of Affiliation. Now, fellow members, will you help to bring about the realization of hopes and dreams, not alone of our late friend, but of lots of other members who have spent years of thought and earnest ef- fort to crystallize our long-scattered in- terest? To stop the ever new splitting- up process into special societies and with it the weakening of the old mother [OoDtlnued on pace 34.] THE LOCAL MANAGEMENT.

In this, the year of the great Inter- national Industrial and Art Exhibition within her gates, Ghent, Belgium, is keeping her horticultural specialties prominently before the public view. A few months ago the quinquennial show was held; August 9 an international show was opened equal to it in extent and importance, and a third show will be held in October. On this occasion there was a grand wealth of well culti- vated palms, dracsenas, crotons, arau- carias, ferns, orchids, begonias, gla- dioli and many other important lines, most charmingly arranged. The show was held in the Palais des Fetes, a large, elegant structure, and some of the finest cultures from Bel- gium, Holland, France, England and America were on view. The American Representation. On the international jury J. C Vaughan and W. A. Manda represented the United States. J. C. Vaughan was accompanied by Mrs. Vaughan, whose health is improved. Judge Vesey was also present, and Mr. Bonnot, of Bon- not Bros., wholesale florists. New York, and his wife were also there. \V. A. Manda was eminently suc- cessful in the competitive classes and secured twenty awards. One of the most interesting classes was that for new plants, in which he was placed second. A few of the most striking in the collection were Polypodium Manda- ianum, Cibotium Mandaianum, Polv- podium Mandaianum superbum, Neph- rolepis Albert! aurea and Calceolaria Stewarti. Other awards secured were: Second for eight new plants, first for three new plants, first for six new plants, first for ten nephrolepis, and in ten classes where nephrolepis were called for, either in collections or single specimens, he secured ten premier awards. England. The leading English exhibit was a collection of tuberous begonias from Blackmore & Langdon, Bath. This was easily ahead of all collections of begonias and was awarded a gold medal with the felicitations of the jury. G. Lange, Hampton, was in the front rank with carnations and was awarded a gold medal with acclamation. Sutton & Sons, Reading, received a certificate for the new red sunflower, Helianthus lenticularis coronatus x Helianthus an- nuus, raised by Professor Cockerell, of Boulder University, Colorado, U. S. A. France. Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co. were repre- sented by a magnificent collection of gladioli, thousands of spikes, and fine strains of petunias and other annuals. L. Ferard, Paris, and Cayeux & Le Clerc, Paris, enriched the French section with fine exhibits of flowers of good strains. Holland. The principal exhibits from Holland were in the gladiolus sections, and the finest came from De Ruyter & Hoge- woning, Noordwijk. They had some promising yellow-flowered varieties, named and seedlings. Perle des Jardins, yellow; Glory de Noordwijk, yellow; Loveliness, cream, and Princess Marie .lose, white suffused pink, were all"^ fine merit, among the hundreds of others shown. P. J. Van der Pol & Co., Bos- koop, were awarded a gold medal for roses. Belgium. The leading prize for new plants was awarded to Sander & Sons, Bruges and St. Albans. Among the number were Alocasia Michalitzi, Heliconia insig- nis, Trevesia Sanderi, Polypodium irioides Bartelsi, Alocasia Warteli and Dietfenbachia Sanderae. In stove and greenhouse plants, the principal prize winners included Soc. Anon. Horticole Gautoise, Ghent; A. Dalliere, Lede- berg; Jules de Cock, Ledeberg; Fr. Spae, Melle, and A. De Smet, Ledeberg. A wonderful and most extensive ex- hibit from the old established firm of Louis Van Houtte was awarded an Ob- jet d'Art, value 200 francs. It was a garden in itself, with hill and dale and water scene, and the plants represented in it were those raised or introduced into commerce by the firm. Palms and Ferns. Forty-seven classes were provided for palms, and palms from baby sizes up to 30-foot specimens were there by the hundred and thousand, as will be readi- ly understood when it is stated that the classes called for twenty-five, twelve, ten, etc., to a class. The finest twenty-five in large specimens were from the Flandria Co., Bruges, and their group of Phoenix Roebelenii, large plants, were 8imi)ly marvelous. Others who contributed to the excellence of this section, and at the same time Wm. Tricker't Bed of Lythrum Roteum and Vinca Minor Aurea at Minneapolis. 18 The Florists' Review Adod&t 28, 1913. scored creditable successes, were: Fr. Spae, Millet-Richard, Jaeger-Baert, Van Acker & Sons, E. Van Coppenolle, 3. BuycK, C. Petrick, J. P, Hartmann, pe Smet Duvivier and De Smet Freres, all Ghent firms. Ferns were an important item also, comprising thirty-six classes. W. A. Manda, De Smet Freres, Arth. De Smet and Bier & Ankersmit were all prom- inent. Polypodium Mandaianum won as the most meritorious new fern. Dracaenas and Begonias. The first prize for new dracacnas was awarded to Vincke-Dujardin, Bruges, for Dracfena M. G. Vincke, D. dere- mensis Bausei and D. deremensis War- necki. Dracaena tricolor, from L. J. Draps-Dorn, Brussels, is a charming, gaily-colored plant, with scarlet, white and green foliage. Tuberous begonias are a strong ex- port line with Ghent growers, and they were well represented in a series of semicircular beds surrounding a pond of water lilies. Louis Van Houtte and T. Van Speybroek were awarded gold medals. One of the best exhibits of roses came from Aug. Van Heden, Wetteren. Orchids were exhibited on a huge scale, tier above tier, on a special plat- form. They formed one of the most unique orchid exhibits ever seen. C. H. Vuylstehe, Jules Hye de Crom, Theo. Pauwels & Co., M. Lambeau, J. de Heuptinne and other leading Belgium growers contributed magnificent gems from their collections. Bee. 3C 3C ^ 3C ^ SEASONABLE ^ i ^ SUGGESTIONS \ i5> tfi • ft \ Early Snapdragons. Where a good Christmas crop of snap- dragons is wanted, the plants should be benched by th^ end of August. Use a tolerably rich soil, such as would grow good carnations, and set them twelve inches apart each way. They are some- times planted 8x8 and 10x10, but if you want to give the plants justice allow them the wider distance. The plants should be in pots or small baskets plunged outdoors, or in pots in a cold- frame. They should have been allowed to produce one flower stalk, and this, when headed back, will cause the plants to break freely. Each plant will produce a few more shoots than should be allowed to flower. Pull oflf all the weaker ones. This will give you stronger spikes. If, however, you desire quantity rather than quality and can utilize the flowers in design and other work, all can be left. Be careful not to plant too deeply, and, after the initial watering, let the beds dry out well before watering again. On hot, sunny days light sprayings over- head will prevent wilting and prove beneficial. Air the house freely. Of course, no set minimum temperature can be maintained for a while, but in winter 45 to 48 degrees should not be exceeded at night. It will be found that pink is far the best selling color; next to this, white and yellow. The scarlet, crimson and variegated shades have only a lim- ited number of admirers. Schizanthus. For an early batch of schizanthus for midwinter flowering, seeds can be sown now. The only variety of a suitable habit for pot culture is S, Wisetonensis. There are a number of so-called im- provements of this now on the market. Some have flowers quite a little larger than the type. Sow the seeds in pans or shallow flats. Keep them close to the light in a coldframe or cool greenhouse all the time, to prevent the seedlings from becoming drawn. Later transplant into flats and from these into 3-inch or 314-inch pots. I have found this much better than potting off directly from the seed pans. Schizanthus requires a ^^- — " -* rich compost, being a strong feeder. It must be grown cool and airy all the time; anything like a close forcing at- mosphere will speedily ruin it.. Anyone who saw the many beautiful plants of these at the New York International Show last April must have been im- pressed with their beauty and their great value as decorative plants. Biennial Seeds. If a sufficient stock of double daisies, wallflowers, forget-me-nots, pansies and violas are not yet sown, no time should be lost in getting them in. The seeds will germinate quickly now, if they are kept shaded, but be careful not to shade too heavily during hot, humid weather, or damping off will result. It is not yet too late to make a sowing of holly- hocks, if this has been omitted. Take advantage of spells of damp, cloudy weather to transplant seedlings of various biennials and perennials be- fore they can become too crowded, and keep the cultivator or hoe constantly at work among such as are already in the field. Weeds grow apace now and some hand-pulling of them will be necessary in addition to cultivating; otherwise many small plants will soon be smoth- ered. The soil can hardly be stirred too frequently to keep plants growing well. PEOPAQATION OF PRIMULAS. Will old plants of Primula malacoides do to use as stock for the coming sea- sdn, dividing them and potting small rooted pieces? I have kept them through the summer in an open cellar or pit, where they bloomed along much later than they would have done in the greenhouse. They also thoroughly seeded the surrounding sandy soil in which they were plunged, and now I notice hundreds of little seedlings just starting. Of course I shall pot these seedlings, but what about the old plants! K. W. H. While it is possible to divide and pot up the old plants of P. malacoides and have them flower tolerably well, you will have much better success if you pot up the little seedlings and grow them on. This primula makes much more rapid growth than such varieties as P. obconica. Sinensis, Forbesi and Kewensis, and most of the failures made are directly due to too early sow- ing. Your seedlings are just obtainable at a time when they can be grown on into nice 5-inch or 6-inch plants, and with stock started thus late there is far less liability of the foliage damping off than in the case of larger plants. 0. W. FEXnT TEEES IN POTS. Will you kindly give me some in- formation about the growing of pot fruit? I have a few pots of pears, peaches, nectarines, cherries, etc., and also some pot-grown grapes, and I shall be much obliged if you will give me some points on their treatment after they have finished fruiting. Most of them are past their season now and 1 have placed them outside. Should they be plunged in the ground in the pots and left there until I bring them in, and what time of the year should they be brought in, to get early results? Do they need protection while they are out- side, in this Massachusetts climate? Is it necessary to repot them when bring- ing them inside for forcing, and what temperature do they require? Will knocking the trees set the fruit suffi- ciently, or is there any other method of setting it? F. L. With the exception of the grape vines, all the fruits named will do much better if plunged outdoors. The grapes, if you can afford space for them, will ripen their canes harder under glass. If, how- ever, you have no room for them, they also can go outdoors. By far the oest way is to plunge them all to the brims. Coal ashes are the best material for this purpose, if you have these in sufficient quantity. If not, plunge in loam, and place a shovelful of ashes at the bottom of each hole to improve the drainage and help to keep out worms. The proper time to repot is not when you are starting the plants, but in August or early September. The roots are then active in the new compost when you want to house them. Larger pots are not usually necessary. The use of fresh drainage, removing some of the surface soil and loosening up all around the balls a little with a sharp- pointed stick, and then replacing in the same size of pots with new compost, usually suffices. Fibrous loam, with some of Thomson's Vine and Plant Manure, or with some bone and a little lime rubble, makes a good compost. It is better to have the plants moderately dry at the root when repotting them. It will be well to overhaul the grapes not earlier than December; all other sorts, now. Cherries require a lower temperature than the other fruits, to set them satis- factorily, I have found that 45 degrees at night suits them when in flower. All varieties when housed need a tempera- ture of 40 degrees. This should be gradually raised as growth advances. A temperature of 50 degrees at night will set peaches and nectarines. Give pears, apples, apricots and cherries the cooler end of your house. You can start these fruits any time after Christmas, but 1 would suggest waiting until the end of January; you will then be more certain of a good set. Tapping the trees often suffices for a set, but not always, A safe plan is to go over the flowers with a camel 's-hair August 28, 1913.

If you do this you are sure of a heavy set and will have to thin your fruits severely. It will not be safe to leave any of your plants outdoors over winter. No matter how well mulched, they would get too wet at the root and would suffer great injury. Store them in a shed or cellar which is not too dark. Never mind if the temperature falls 10 to 15 degrees below freezing occasionally, so long as you have plenty of straw or hay about the pots. Also be careful not to let the plants become dry during the winter, or you will lose about all your fruit buds; quite a few growers have found this out to their sorrow. Pot- fruit culture is interesting, is not diffi- cult and seems to be growing in favor. C. W. A NOVEL POWER PLANT. Brains that bring success in the flo- rists' business can be profitably applied to other lines of work; so thought Heinl & Weber, of Terre Haute, Ind., and they went to work to apply them. They found that in building new houses the old-fashioned way of drilling holes in cast-iron gutters was back-breaking work and too hard for ingenious florists. So they set to work to let their heads save their heels, or rather their backs, and got an electric drill. They found, however, that the electric power to run the drill was not at hand and hard to procure. The solution to this was their electric automobile, which was fully charged and run up back of the green- houses. Upon connecting up the auto- mobile and the drill as shown in the illustration, Messrs. Heinl & Weber found everything running smoothly, and with their unique power plant can now drill 300 holes a day. ANOTHER PRIZE-WINNING CAR. Florists are making use of their dec- orative genius to gain fame as well as profits, and are picking up first prizes right and left for unique and good- looking floral floats. Another winner to be noted is Chas. A. Simonson, of Mc- Pherson, Kan., who took first place in the parade July 4, with the car shown in the illustration. This scarcely does it justice, as there was almost a gale blowing when the photograph was taken. The car was loaned by a local garage in return for the display of its card, which hung from the running-boar^. The surface was covered with floral sheeting and the trimmings were of natural roses and carnations. Baskets of roses were placed on each running- board and on the hood. Not easily distinguishable in the illustration, the name of the decorator was on each side, made of chenille. Mr. Simonson is shown at the wheel and his wife and daughter in the back seat of the car. LANCASTER, PA. The Market. There has been little change in this market since the last writing. Outdoor flowers of all kinds are everywhere seen. The weather has been so extremely hot the last few weeks that asters and gla- dioli are the only flowers that can be recommended to give satisfaction. These two, however, are arriving in good shape and in large quantities. The demand for roses is not heavy, and when one gets a rose order he has to go some to get stock that is up to the mark. Florists' Club Meeting. Thursday night, August 21, was aster night at the Lancaster County Florists' Club meeting, held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. The exhibition table was covered with vases of beautiful asters in all their many wonderful shades. Walter R. Denlinger, of Vin- tage, showed vases of Vick's Early Branching, in white and rose, and Vick's Royal Purple that deserved a medal for culture. B. F. Barr staged vases of Vick's Violet King, Imperial Giant Purity and German rose pink, all high quality blooms. John R. Shreiner, of Greenland, showed a vase of Crego asters which for size and variety of tints were unsurpassed. An interesting discussion followed, and varieties and general culture were thoroughly discussed. The worst enemy of the aster grotrers is the black beetle that appears about the time the flowers show color, and in a few days can ruin acres of blooms. An invitation was received for all the members to attend the field day inspection of Henry F. Michell's flower farm at Andalusia, Pa., north of Phila- delphia, August 27. The meeting was attended by some thirty-five members. Edward Reid, of Philadelphia, gave a valuable talk to the florists on the careful grading and packing of cut flowers of all kinds; he stated that a grower should make it a point to have regular days for shipping his stock and in this way the commission man could book orders in advance to good advan- tage. President A. M. Herr appointed B. F. Barr, H. K. Rohrer and C. F. Edgar to arrange resolutions on the death of Francis Bachler. Various Notes. George Goldbach is cutting some good Golden Glow chrysanthemums. B. F. Barr & Co. have been making a specialty of a dollar basket of flowers, and they find this line has brought better results than the dollar box this season, as a larger amount of short- stemmed stock can be worked up to good advantage. Miss Katherine E. Seibert, of B. F. Barr & Co., has returned from a four weeks' vacation trip in the south. Visitors last week were George Auegle, manager of the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co.; A. T. Clough, for James H. Matthews & Co., Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mr. Cohen, for Wertheimer Bros., New York, and H. C. Yeager, Norris- town. Pa. C. F. E. Chas. A.

Can it be grown in the same house as Princess of Wales? R. & S. F. S. Violet Governor Herrick is now large- ly discarded, as Princess of Wales is a much superior variety. Governor Her- rick did poorly in a night temperature of 40 degrees, which suits Princess of Wales, but a Review reader last year stated that Herrick did well in a night temperature of 50 degrees. Perhaps some reader who is successful with this variety can give more information. C. W. VIOLET BOOT EOT. Please tell me what causes black roots on violet plants, I received two different lots of the same kind of vio- let plants, grown by different men. The plants looked fine; they were all set by one man in the same house and looked after by the same man. One lot of plants grew finely, but the other lot all got black roots. I inquired of a man who had been in the violet busi- ness for fifteen years. He told me he had never been troubled with the dis- ease until this year. His own plants, which he set, grew finely, but he wanted to change stock in one part of his house, so he bought 1,800 plants that looked even better than his own, and yet the 1,800 all got black roots, while his own were all right. My case is just about the same. The cuttings were fine and the roots were apparently sound, with not a bit of black on them, yet one lot flourished and the other lot got black roots. Can you give me any in- formation in regard to this? F. M. This disease is commonly called black rot, root rot and black root, and in the New York violet growing districts is so deadly that it takes the name of "the violet disease." Its scientific name is Thielavia basicola. The same disease occurs on sweet peas, field peas, cycla- mens and asters, and is destructive on tobacco. It was first discovered and described in America by Prof. R. Thax- ter in 1892. It was known in England in 1850, and in Germany in 1876. Attacked plants have a dwarfed ap- pearance and the foliage is crinkled and of a yellow cast; sometimes an en- tire crop will die. A parasite is the cause of all the trouble and, to fight it, sanitation of a scientific nature is neces- sary. Use only cuttings of healthy plants. Even one or two runners, ap- parently healthy, taken from affected plants and thrown, as is common, into a pail of water with others, will spread the disease. Water the cutting benches with formaldehyde, one quart to twenty- five gallons of water, as a sterilizer. Cover with an oilcloth after applying. The soil should, if possible, be ster- ilized in the violet houses. Lime, it has been proved, tends to spread the disease, as an alkaline soil favors it. Experiments with manure and fertil- izeru have proved that stable manure gives the best results and that acid phosphate ranks next in value. Lime and wood ashes gave the least num- ber of healthy plants. There is a great deal 3'et to be learned about this dis- ease, on which experimental stations are still working. C. W. HAETFOED, CONN. The Market. Business is fair for August. Roses are the mainstay, there being a good supply; and they clean up well. Some asters are seen and sell at fair prices considering the quality. Gladioli are in oversupply. Various Notes. E. S. Drake, Joseph F. Coombs and D. A. Spear will serve on the jury of the Superior court. The Connecticut fair will open Sep- tember 1. Vice-president Marshall will be in attendance. Liberal premiums are offered for cut flowers and plant dis- plays. A silver cup will be offered for the best and most appropriate wreath suitable for presentation to the winner of the Charter Oak race. Alex Gum- ming, Jr., will have charge of the horti- tural department of the ifair. Mr. Gum- ming has resigned his position as super- intendent of Elizabeth park and will take charge of the retail department of A. N. Pierson, Inc., at Cromwell. Wolfgang Swartz, who for the last nineteen years has had charge of the palm and decorative plant department of A. N. Pierson, Inc., has tendered his resignation and will take charge of the greenhouses of Holm & Olson, of St. Paul, Minn., September 1. Mr. Swartz is considered one of the best plant growers in New England. Lewis Gaskill, of Cromwell, has ac- cepted the position of head gardener at the Massachusetts State Hospital, at Worcester. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Carnation planting is now completed at A. N, Pierson 's. The plants are look- ing fine and will soon be producing flowers. Most of the plants have been grown inside, and are superior to field- grown stock. R- C. S. BUSINESS EMBAEEASSMENTS. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.— The Sunny- field Nursery Co. has filed a petition in bankruptcy with liabilities of $5,798 and assets of $6,724, the latter consist- ing of nursery stock at cost, $4,500; office fixtures, $300; wagons and imple- ments, $225, and accounts, $1,699. Frank B. Lown, the president of the company, is a creditor for $2,470. Augusta, Oa. — A ten per cent adjust- ment of all claims has been accepted by the creditors of the Alexander Seed Co. According to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed August 1, the assets are $3,2:i6 and the liabilities $21,042. H. H. Alexander and Irvin Alexander are not now connected with the firm, as the interests of the family were sold toil years ago. WASHINGTON, D. 0. John Clark, 82 years old, has been named acting superintendent of the Na- tional Botanical Gardens, to fill the vacancy made by the death of C. Leslie Reynolds. At the time of the death of Mr. Smith, Mr. Clark was promoted from the position of propagator to that of assistant superintendent, succeeding Mr. Reynolds, who was made superin- tendent. Mr. Clark is a Scotchman by birth and was a lifelong friend of Mr. Smith. In 1854 the latter wrote to him in Scotland, offering him the po- sition of assistant superintendent if he would come to America. He declined and did not come to America until about fifteen years ago, when he ac- cepted a position as propagator. It is probable that he will be made the superintendent of the gardens. There will probably be some little demand for store decorations during the week beginning September 29. This has been designated as Fall Trade Week and is being advertised exten- sively, with a view of drawing the people of the surrounding country into- Washington at that time to do their season's shopping. This will also give the local trade an opportunity of demonstrating their ability to handle mail and telegraph orders. Preparations are being made for the holding of the fall flower show at the propagating gardens of the Depart- ment of Agriculture on a larger scale than ever. Fred H. Kramer and Adolphus Gude, with nine other Washingtonians, sailed last week for Germany, where they will act as color guard for the German- American organizations of veterans who will go into camp with the Ger- man troops. They will visit France and England and will return in the last part of October. C. L. L. EEAMPTON, ONT. Toronto florists have been popping in and out frequently during the last fortnight, their visits forming probably part of their holiday program. They tell us of the change in proprietorship of George Allin's greenhouses, at West Toronto; Hamilton Milligan has just taken over the business and placed M. Bullyment in charge of the growing department. Dunlop's new Lord Sc Burnham buildings at Richmond Hill are covered in, but planting has not yet begun. W. J. Lawrence has made two houses of the single long-span that suffered so badly from the storm last January, and they are now filled with a variety of healthy-looking stock. It is also reported that the Steele- Briggs Seed Co. is arranging to remove its greenhouses from Toronto to Oak- ville, nearly twenty miles out. Some of the growers in Brampton had excellent crops of tomatoes during the early summer and are now busy get ting ready for the fall. W. Calvert'? and Mark Henderson's new houses are almost in shape for planting. At the Dale Estate the six new houses, covering two and one-half acres, have made splendid progress, owing to the magnificent weather experienced throughout the spring and summer. . Scarcely twenty-four hours have been wasted during the entire period of building. The benches are already planted with violets and the glaziers have begun work. Stock is extremely I AUGUST 28, 1913. The Florists^ Review 21 scarce in {ill lines, but the supply trade keeps all bands busy in the shipping room. Edward Dale, his daughter, Bes- sie, and Cbafles Xorton returned from Europe last week. H. G. Mullis also got home from British Columbia. All enjoyed their trips immensely. W. G. P. NASHUA, N. H. _^This has been an exceptionally busy season for George E. Buxton. He has just completed a new greenhouse 32x188, and planted it with carnations. He has 22,000 carnations benched in all. Plants in the field had a hard struggle for existence this season, as no rain fell for sixty-three days, but they are now of an average size. Mr. Buxton has sold and delivered over 60,000 plants of his famous new pink snapdragon, of a Killarney shade of color, and orders keep arriving daily. Gaedeke & ("o. report a fine summer business in the line of funeral work. Their carnations in the field, however, are not up to the average, owing to the drought. C. H. Blake is rebuilding one of his greenhouses, replacing one that has been in active service for thirty years. Mr. Blake reports a good summer busi- ness. W. W. Powers is busy' most of the time with funeral work. In fact, he has been so closely confined that a vaca- tion has been out of the question. Mr. Powers has recently taken up his resi- nlence on Concord street, Nashua's most select residential district. W. N. C. BOOH£STEB, N. T. The Market. The week has been a good one for the majority of downtown florists, with a great deal of funeral work. The state of the flower market is about the same as recorded last week, with no great amount of good stock arriving. There is an influx of gladioli and many go to waste. On account of the hot, dry weather, they burst into blossom all at once and cannot be sold fast enough. The same is true of other out- door stock,, and many are begging for a good, soaking rain. The asters are extremely scaic-e, and only a few good ones get into the commission house. The rest are small and so short-stemmed that they can only be used for design work. There are a few growers who, by having a good water system, are making good prices for their cut stock, and the demand is far beyond what the plants will produce. Sweet peas are good or bad, according to the grower, and the best have a hard task to realize a respectable price. Carnations can al- most be classed with the peas; their quantity is limited. Roses are about the best thing on the market; their only fault is that they burst open too quickly. Harrisii lilies are fairly plenti- ful, but valley is scarce. Japanese lilies, both white and pink, are numer- ous and ar,e used freely. Water lilies, which do not sell so readily in the stores, are obtainable in the streets. Ferns are 3carce, Asparagus, maiden- hair ferns and sroilax sell tvell. Various Notes. Miss Lilian "WheeJer, of the Rochester Floral Co., is awav from business on a two Sep^i' vacation. Miss Rose Ella Browu commenced her vacation August 25, for a period of two weeks. Milton Selinka, of Schloss Bros., New York city, called on the trade during the week, expressing his satisfaction with the amount of business done. Burglars entered the store of Cros- man Bros, on the evening of August 21, by climbing through the transom over the front door. Their efforts did not get them much; only a few old coins were left over night in the cash register. So far, this month has been the busi- est that the Lord & Burnham Co. has experienced in this territory. Arthur Elder, a son of the manager of the Lord & Burnham head offices, is one of the office force, and additional help has been put on. Among the firm's recent sales are a rose house, 52x200, erected complete and heated, for J. H. Gould, Middleport; for Fred Burki, of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., a house 41x583; for the Indiana Floral Co., Indiana, Pa., a house 35x 150; for 8. D. Pritchard, of Phelps, N. Y., who is starting in a small way, a service house building, complete, 18x25; for J. H. West & Sons, Irondequoit, N. Y., an a^lditional house, 40x183. The death of Charles M. Hooker, senior member of the firm of C. M. Hooker & Sons, is recorded in this week 's obituary column. H. J. H. NEW YORK. The Market. Last week was convention week, and its record has been invariable for years. "With it comes the end of the dog days and the first evidences of an awakening begin to manifest themselves. Employ- ers and employees are nearly all back from their vacations, brown and ener- getic and ready for the coming season, which Labor day inaugurates. Schools will soon open and flower buyers return to the city. A trenlendous lot of roses are coming to the market, but most of them are short-stemmed and can hardly be cleaned up at any price. The few that are worth while, from American Beau- tics and Shawyers down, bring fair re- turns, and the retail demand is slowly but perceptibly increasing. There will be few carnations of value sent in be- fore next week. The growers express the certainty of a good stock by that time. Nothing is arriving at present that sells above $1 per hundred. Val- ley and lilies are firm at present quota- tions. Some fine rubrums are seen, and longiflorums are gradually advancing above the starvation level of July and August. Dahlias, cosmos and goldenrod have just stepped through the open door. A few Golden Glow and Smith 's Ad- vance mums are here, and of gladioli and asters there is no end. Only the best of these bring even respectable prices, and some of the new asters and select gladioli are worth much more than it has been possible to realize on them. Orchids have not been overabundant, and prices have been higher for cat- tleyas. There will soon be a fine assort- ment of orchids to select from. Various Notes. Conventionists are returning grad- ually. The charms of the boundless west, the Great I^akes and the "Windy City have held a few of them. Those ' who are back are loud in appreciation of the splendid men and women of the Twin Cities, and of the unlimited enter- tainment and generosity accorded them. Frank L. Moore, of Moore, Hentz & Nash, was in the city August 22. Cat- tleyas and Maryland roses are his pres- ent contribution to the yfholesale mar- ket. The added conveniences of this firm in the Coogan building are now complete. Mr. Moore's daughter. Miss Muriel, is a prominent teacher in the New York School of Music and Arts. Paul Rigo, of the Henshaw & Fen- rich force, will be married September 3. His bride will be Miss Ethel Wilson, daughter of Lieutenant Wilson, of Gen- eral Sheridan's staff. The honeymoon trip of four weeks will reach as far as Winnipeg, Manitoba. E. Bonnot, of Bonnot Bros., will re- turn next week from his annual Euro- pean holiday. Frank Duggan, seedsman, is away on a yachting trip to Atlantic City and Virginia Beach. Angelo Dentale, of Young & Nugent 's force, entertained the stork August 12. A boy was left by the same busy bird August 20 at the home of Maurice Glass, manager of the Henry M. Robin- son Co., of New York. The H. M. Robinson Co. will be com- fortably settled this week in its new and spacious quarters on the ground floor of the Coogan building. From the size of the ice-box, the firm evidently anticipates an immense shipping as well as local business this season. Badgley, Riedel & Meyer displayed some fine Smith's Advance chrysanthe- mums in their windows last week, the first of the season. Walter R. Siebrecht is back from his vacation and will move downstairs next week into the store formerly occupied by Russiu & Hanfliiig. The new home of this progressive supply house is nearly ready for occupancy, and it will be one of the most complete establish- ments in the country in this depart- ment of the florists' business. .T. K. Allen devotes his week-ends to his family at Ocean Grove, N. J., and his spare days during this week to hia shippers on Long Island. The Hinode Florist Co., of White- stone, L. I., has sold its property to Dreyer Bros., Woodside, L. I. Samuel Woodrow is bu«y with the store and conservatory enlargement at his place of business, and will have more space and conveniences than ever before for his plant display. He seems quite hopeful as to the fall and winter outlook. Joseph A. Fenrich will continue to make Bradley Beach his home until October. Herbert Kruschka, son of the leading florist of Asbury Park, N. J., is now with Poehlmann Bros. Co., of Chicago. Adam Miller, form,erly of the New York Botanical Garden staff, and later in charge of the Hotel Astor's flower department, is now in the landscape business on his own account. The Growers' Cut Flower Co. expects to be comfortably settled in its new store and with all its conveniences in running otder Saturday, August 30. The new combination now concen- trated at the old store of George Cot- sonas & Co. promises to be a strong and aggressive union of forces under the name of the New York Florists' Supply Co., Inc. ^ ^ The Kervan Co. continues to ship large quantities of wild smilax and ;'i! 22 The Florists^ Review AnoDBT 2S, 1918. other greens daily to Newport, where the society season is now at its height. Paul Meconi's new store and office are completed, and he has a wider glass frontage than any other wholesale house in the city. The Coogan building has been almost completely metamorphosed this summer, and it now looks as if those in it intend to stay there. Siebrecht & Son, of New Rochelle, had a large exhibit of evergreens, palms and specimen box trees at the Greater New York Fair at Yonkers, for which they received many prizes. Fifteen cases of goods, the first of RuBsin & Hanfling's importations, ar- rived August 25 and were housed in their new store. J. J. Fellouris is repainting and get- ting the store into shape for fall. He says the outlook in the green goods line is excellent. H. M. Robinson, of Boston, was in town August 25 to attend the opening of his company's new store. There will be the usual influx of out- of-town buyers and retailers shortly, stocking up for the winter. The grow- ers are well prepared for them. Over at Rutherford, N. J., the Julius Roehrs Co. has a hundred houses filled with the choicest stock, from ferns to orchids, the latter exceptionally promising. Julius Roehrs, Jr., who has been practi- cally in charge of this immense estab- lishment for some time, gives every promise of maintaining the high stand- ard it attained during the life of his father. This is an appropriate week to visit the grand display of outdoor beauty at the big nurseries of Bobbink & Atkins, their hybrid hibiscus especially absorb- ing one's interest and admiration, as well as the enormous variety of roses, unequaled in any collection in the country. The new and unique building of the F. R. Pierson Co., at Tarrytown, ap- proaches completion slowly, but prom- ises to be finished before the Bnow flies. When it is done, there will not be any- thing better in its line. It will be sixty ''feet deep, forty-two feet wide and thirty-five feet high. Marble staircases, brass railings, Corinthian pillars and Erismatic glass will accentuate its eauty. It will be built entirely of stone and absolutely fireproof. "The surroundings will be in keeping with the building, and all will reflect the enterprise, independence and ambition of the tireless and prosperous mayor of Tarrytown. J. Austin Shaw. Dolgeville, N. Y.— R. B. Poole is opening a greenhouse in this town, the first that has been undertaken here. St. Joseph, Mo. — The Stuppy Floral Co. has purchased a 1,500-pound motor truck of the Dorris Motor Car Co., St. Louis. Jackson, Tenn. — F. A. Byrne, who for two years has had charge of Metcalfe's branch here, got a column write-up un- der a two-column head, in the Jack- sonian, on the discovery of a white gladiolus in "a bed of the common specimens of the fiower." Hamilton, O. — Theo. Bock has gone out of businens after selling everything, -Cv^n the ground his plant occupied, wh{ch went for buiJdinglots. Mr. Bock, who has been a floristi for fifty-two . years, found bis health breaking down and therefore retired. Charles M. Hooker. The death of Charles M. Hooker, senior member of the firm of C. M. Hooker & Sons, Rochester, N. Y., oc- curred on Monday, August 18, at his home in Brighton, N. Y. Mr. Hooker was one of the foremost figures in horticulture in western New York for sixty years. The Hookers are descend- ed from Rev. Thomas Hooker, who, with his people, founded the city of Hartford. Charles M. Hooker was born November 9, 1832, and was a son of Horace Hooker, who traveled to Rochester by stage in 1820, and who made large investments in property in St. Paul street and in the district north of the city, then known as Carthage. Charles M. Hooker, when a young man, entered the- employ of Bissell & Hooker, nurserymen on East avenue, Rochester. On reaching the age of 21 he became a member of the firm of Hooker, Farley & Co., on St. Paul street, his father being the senior part- ner. In 1856 the business was re- moved to Brighton and the farm of the late Roswell Hart was purchased. Subsequently the father retired, but the business was continued for some time under the old firm name. After- ward the name became H. E. Hooker & Bro. In 1877 the partnership was dis- solved. Later C. M. Hooker entered into partnership with his sons, under the present name of C. M. Hooker & Sons. In 1861, in Penfield, Mr. Hooker married Miss Kate Lewis, daughter of Daniel E. Lewis. She died nearly seven years ago. Mr. Hooker leaves three sons, Horace, Charles G. and Lewis Hooker, and three daughters, Misses Mary, Kate and Edith Hooker. Mr. Hooker was one of the oldest trustees of the Brighton Presbyterian church. For more than half a century he was a member of the Western New York Horticultural Society; he was chair- man of its executive committee for a long time and also of the legislative committee. In speaking of the death of Mr. Hooker, W. C. Barry, president of the Western New York Horticultural Society, said: "Mr. Hooker was one of our most esteemed members. He attended the meetings regularly for fifty years and took the greatest in- terest in the proceedings, cheerfully lending his aid and influence to the building up of the organization. His death is a personal loss to me and to each member of the old Western New York Horticultural Society." The burial, which was private, was made in Mount Hope cemetery. H. J. H. Richard Hopps. Richard Hopps, who was in the flo- rists' business at Youngstown, O., for many years before his retirement four years ago, died at his home, 400 War- ren avenue, August 15, after a week 's confinement to his bed. Mr. Hopps had been suffering for the last three months with kidney trouble. He was born in Ireland, May 6, 1840, and came to this country when he was a young man. He settled in Youngs- town thifty-two years ago and was actively engaged as a flofiat aad gardener until four years ago. In 1876 he married Miss Jane Bryson, who, with their sons, Charles H. and William R. Hopps, of this city, and Robert Hopps, now living in Ireland, survives him. The interment was August 17, at Oak Hill cemetery. Charles Krombacb. Charles Krombach, for many years one of the foremost florists of Brook- lyn, N. Y., died suddenly of heart disease August 18, at his home, 161% Twenty-third street. He had been ill for some time, but had rallied and was sitting up in a chair when he died. He was born fifty-six years ago, not far from his late home. His entire life was passed in the same neighbor- hood and he took an active part in its politics and social life. His places of business were located on Twenty-fifth street. Ninth avenue and Fort Hamil- ton avenue. He was a member of the Greater New York Florists' Associa- tion, as well as of many other clubs and lodges. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son. His death was quite unexpected and his wife was away in the Catskills at the time. The interment was August 21 in Greenwood cemetery. . Paul Kase. Paul Kase died by his own hand August 19, on the steamship Massachu- setts, en route from Boston to New York. He put a bullet through his heart. The body was not discovered in the stateroom until some time after the boat had docked. Several notes were on it, one to his wife, one to his stenographer and one to the coroner, in which he said it was "a very ordinary case. ' ' Mr. Kase was 38 years of age. His home was at Bloomfield, N. J. He mar- ried the daughter of Wm. Hagemann, who was one of the widely known men in the bulb trade, and at that gentle- man's death, a few years ago, became the president of the company, the offices of which are at 30 Church sti«ftet^!^'^ AUGUST 28, 1913. ... .1. ■ ,-■ I The Florists' Review 23 Evanston, HI. — Matthew Artner has received a permit to build another greenhouse.

The poor ones receive little attention, but there are less of the inferior roses of any variety on the market since the weather improved. Sunburst, Melody, Badiance, Lady Hillingdon and the rest of the novelties are not in abundance and those that are being cut sell rapidly. Fancy asters now are available in quantity, there having been a marked improvement since the cut began com- ing from the later varieties. The poor stock sells at almost any price the buyer cares to oflfer. Gladioli continue abundant. The best varieties do fairly well, but the clean-up is at a price that pulls the average down. Greens are in good supply and valley is fully abun- dant eriOTigh to take care of any de- mand. Lilies are not in oversupply, but there are enough to fill orders with and produce a fair return for the grow- ers. An occasional dozen mums is seen. Various Notes.

There is a tlieory afloat that the end of August is the dullest time of the year in the flower market, something like the dark cloud having a silver liuing, September staiuling for the silver. Be this as it may, the market has been dull, extremely dull. There are some cheer- ing features. The early asters are over. With them has gone much of that poor stock 80 distressing to everybody. Semple's form the main body of the asters now and Semple 's are mostly fine quality, (iladioli have taken a new lease of life; there are some magnificent flowers coming into market. Red is particularly fine. The scarcity of cat- tJeyas.jL'ontinues. The stock for the order for fifty that oan be filled is apt to come from a number of different sources, while he who fills it wears a smile or gives a sigh of relief, according to temperament. There is no other special change in conditions, but a change for the better is expected soon. An Inspection Trip. It was noticed in the Broad Street station an hour before noon, August 27, that many persons had little, square, yellow cards attached to their coat lapels. There was i)rinting on the cards, difficult to discern at a distance iis they bobbed up and down with the motion of the wearers. Most of those tagged were hearty, bronzed individ- uals, who seemed to find ))leuty of friends among those similarly tagged. The center of attraction for all was a gate marked "Special train for Henry F. Michell Co. 'g Seed House inspec- tion trip to Andalusia, Pa." Both members of the house were there welcoming their guests, the one gracious, the other cordial. The hope of the house was there, just returned from the Minneai»olis convention. The secretary of state was there, anrovided for them by their host. Then came the inspection; 1 must jiass lightly over the words of the silver-tongued orator. Tt lasted until 4 o'clock, when train tin)e arrived. There are eighteen acres of level, treeless land in the trial grounds of the Henry F. Michell Co. at Andalusia. They border directly on llie Pennsylvania tracks, a i»ebble's-throw from the sta- tion, affording excellent advertising op- portunities that were quickly seized. The center of that side of the ground that borders on the tracks. is occupied by a raised circular bed .containing no less than 1,2(10 clum|>s'of King Humbert cannas, their brilliant coloring con- trasting eff"ectively with the smaller l>eds of ."JOO, of the yellow Mrs. Alex- ander Wallace, and with the thick greensward. Doubt as to the origin of the sward is removed by a large sign, not out of sight of the tracks, that reads, "Always Sow Michell 's Ever- green Tvawn (Jrass Seed." Cannas have been given an important place at Anda lusia. Their increasing popularity, their easy culture and the frequency of rogues in the stock received, caused the selection. There are many fine varieties, Mrs. AlfreiB ever seen is now coming in to us. These are very reasonable at 93.00 per hundred. The flowers are exceptionally fiae.

' The seedsman's greenhouse problem is what to do with his space under glass from June to December. This is being solved by the indoor culture of the chrysanthemum for cut flowers. Paul Applegreen, the manager, has a fine lot of well-grown plants, the Chadwicks especially so. The water system, the heating, the wonderfully fine anemones, the million or more gladioli, all came in for their share of attention before the visitors reluctantly wended their way back to the railroad station through an avenue of many varieties of climbing roses, each trained on a pillar.

F., to reject or recommend as best suited for this purpose. The florists' clubs arete pay for each mem- ber from $1.50 to $2 into the treasury of the S. A. F. These members of the florists' clubs become automatical]}' members of the S. A. F. by paying this extra fee. Anyone not a member of a florists' club is to pay the dues which now prevail. As this would bring quite a large sum of money into the treasury of the S. A. F., it would be able then to start that so much needed press bureau, which is to advertise nation-wide, or rather, to educate the public through magazines and newspapers. To protect ourselves from excessive freight and ex- press rates; to keep in touch with legis- lation regarding duties on plants, seeds, bulbs, and whatever pertains to our business; to keep in touch with experi- ment stations and schools for garden- ing; to obtain recognition by the gov- ernment in its mail departments, the parcel post, and the census, and to prove to them that we are worth look- ing after; these are some of the most important issues and enough to show anyone that aflSliation is needed. Of course, all this takes money, and only a large membership can bring about this change. Work to Be Accomplished. Our national society would not have to change its by-laws to any great ex- tent, unless to accept the florists' clubs as part of the S. A. F. for mutual help and advancement. Of course, the dues would have to be regulated to suit the occasion, and the florists' clubs main change would be in the yearly dues as well. To show the working of my sug- gestions in this merging of the two so- cieties, I will suggest some of its ad- vantages. The secretary of the florists' club is informed of all matters pertain- ing to the interest of our national so- ciety affairs, giving us all chances to keep in close touch with such matters. The florists' club acts as agent for the members in case of trouble; for in- stance, an article appeared in one of the Philadelphia papers, stating how costly flowers were to be at Easter, and that the rose growers had formed a trust and were to boost the prices for Easter. Such foolish statements should be turned over to the secretary of the florists' club, by members of the club who read the article, the secretary of the club in turn giving it to the secre- tary of the national society, who would turn it over to the press bureau to cor- FLOWERS FOR PARADES YXURING tha summer months you can pick up a good busi- ^^ ness on decorations for parades, festivals, home comings, street carnivals, etc. Our line of artificial flowers is the most complete of any in the country and our huge factory allows us the room to keep a big surplus on hand.

For another suggestion take an over- charge on expressage that I experience. I pay approximately from $75 to $100 per year more expressage than the com- pany has any right to ask for, as the Interstate Commerce Commission regu- lated these rates for us five or six years ago. But what can I, or one or two others in my locality, do to prevent this extortion by the express company? Nothing. A strong national society could take this matter up and get us redress in short order. Is not that worth $2 a year to anyone? How much harm was done to the trade through such an ar- ticle as I have just mentioned? It is beyond estimation. Truly, it is worth it to the Philadelphia florists to pay $2 extra per year, to have this protection CLIMAX CLASSY CUT FLOWER BOXES nv« Orad*s— Oxford Gray. Mist Green.

Take, for instance, Pennsylvania, which in 1912 had 163 registered mem- bers in the S. A. F. The Philadelphia Florists' Club has nearly 300 active members. We have possibly over 600 members of florists' clubs in Penn- sylvania. There are about five or six clubs in this state, yet only 163 florists are members of our national society. You will find it so in all states. The proportion of our men in business who axe members of the S. A. F. is extremely small.

Make the essay of the January meeting on affilia- tion, and at the February or March meeting take a vote and see how your club stands regarding this movement. I think by that time everyone should be able to understand the vital question of this movement.

I know that all the best and ablest men in our profes- sion are backing it. Several of our former presidents have tried to bring about some step toward such amalgama- tion— Philip Breitmeyer, F. R. Pierson, W. F. Stewart, Wm. F. Gude, E. Vin- cent, and our present president, J. K. M. L. Farquhar. The first time I met our present president after his election last summer, in a committee meeting in New York last fall, he said to me: "How can we bring about affiliationt" show- ing what was foremost in his mind and most essential to the future success of our national society. Duty to the Trade. Fellow members, the time is here to do something. We owe it to the mother society, we owe it to ourselves and to our chosen profession. Shake off this indiflference and lethargy; look around you, see what other business interests are doing, and you will find that they are all solid to their interest. Are we less in need of it? I say no! Are we less intelligent? Again no! Are we slow and selfish? Here I have to shout no! I feel sure you will answer these questions the way I did. Then why in the name of common sense don't we go to work and unify our interest and take the place we should occupy in the front rank among other business interests? Horticulture is large enough, with its many millions invested in it, and tens of thousands of fellow workers. The object of a convention is to better our conditions in business and to help one another. It is not fair for 1,500 mem- bers, or less, of the S. A. F. to do all the work and pay the cost, while the other ten or fifteen thousand interested in our business get the benefit of what- ever comes from it, without giving their share of work or money. By amalgama- tion with the florists' clubs, we will get thousands of such delinquent florists, who at the present time do not seem to see the point at issue, or do not care, but who will, if this is properly ex- FANCY OR DAGGER FERNS fine stock, 75c per 1000.

In conclusion, I once more appeal to all before me and to all those who read these lines to prove their loyalty to their profession by helping to put our national society on such a basis that its value to all of us will be ever so much greater than before. Although it has been a stanch friend to Us for twenty- eight years, its usefulness can be in- creased many times if we all do our share of work. Fellow members, we have a duty to fulfill toward the destiny of our profes- sion, toward the welfare of our children. Do not let us fail, but work so that the realization of this movement will soon be an assured fact, is the earnest desire of all its well-wishers.

The Market. Business was quiet last week, and the present week opens with no change from these conditions. Asters continue the flowers par excellence and are seen in large quantities. Most of the early varieties have now passed, and midsea- son varieties, such as Victoria, Comet, Vick's Royal White and Ostrich Plume have taken their place. The loose flowered varieties sell the most slowly. Prices are a little better, some fancy stock bringing $2 to $3 per hundred, but a larger number sell at 50 cents to 75 cents. Oladioli are too plentiful and are hard to move. Sweet peas are nearly over, only one or two growers sending them in. Roses are not yet abundant and move fairly well, especially Beauties, Killar- ney Queen, Wards, Tafts, Russells and Dark Pink Killarneys, A few carna- tions of the new crop are seen. These are small and short-stemmed. Some of the old crop also still arrive, but sell slowly. Lilies are abundant. Longi- florums are extra fine, and so are auratums. Cattleyas are scarce. The first labiatas have appeared. Gardenias are also in short supply. There is not a great call for valley. In the way of miscellaneous flowers, double hardy sun- flowers, physostegias, white statice. CLEmANI J. N. GASSER CONPANY EUCLID AVENUE We grow th* b«st of overythlng In CUT FLOWERS. ST. PAUL, MINN.

The news that the S. A. F, conven- tion of 1914 would be held in Boston gave general satisfaction, and it is now up to the commercial growers of Boston and vicinity to make the next conven- tion a record-breaker in every way. The selection of the genial, inimitable and popular Patrick Welch as vice-presi- dent pleased his host of friends here, who know that P. W. will make good, both in his new position and a higher one later. James Farquhar has some large con- tracts now on hand. One for Thomas G. Plant, at Ossipee Mountain park, Moul- tonboro, N. H., will furnish work for a small army of men for several years. Over 600 men are now employed in making fifty miles of drives on this grand and romantically situated 7,000- acre estate, commanding magnificent views over Lake Winnepesaukee.

There was an at- tendance of 75,000 on the leading day. The Boston Cooperative Flower Market has reduced the rental of the stalls from $25 to $20 per year, the $5 being in the nature of a dividend to all stall-holders. They anticipate a lively auction sale August 30, and the market is being made trim for it. William S. Grassie, of Waverley, has some grand asters now. He has Vick's Royal White on 3-foot stems, the flowers bringing $3 per hundred easily. Charles Evans, of Watertown, is one of the best natured and most popular young growers and salesmen in Boston. At present he has a fine lot of Physos- tegia Virginica, double helianthus and asters. At T. F. Galvin's Tremont street store I noted one window filled with masses of Augusta and Mrs. F. King gladioli and longiflorum lilies, which looked well. At the emporium of Welch Bros. Co. business is fairly good for the dull sea- son. David Welch is as full of en- thusiasm as ever over his late trip to Ireland, and it does one's heart good to hear him expatiate on the beauty of the Cork and Limerick maidens, the carmine tints in their cheeks and their bewildering eyes. James Tulis, of Sudbury, is the first to send in new crop carnations to the Boston Flower Exchange. Fred H. Houghton, of Park street, always has a prettily arranged and not overdone window. Just now he uses oak sprays freely, and these in baskets of gladioli are pleasing.

Comley speaks glowingly of his new forcing tomato Terrace Hall, of which he grew several houses last season, and of which he states he has sold $20,000 worth of fruit from May 1 to August 1. George Cartwright, treasurer of the Boston Flower Exchange, had a pleas- ant surprise August 20, when he was presented by his many florist friends with a beautiful life-size framed bust painting of himself, which will long serve as a pleasing reminder of his many good friends in the trade. Mr, Cartwright wishes, through The Re- view, to thank the many friends who joined in making the gift. William J.

There is a quarter acre of floor space. The contrast between the conditions here and at the former location at Park street are marked. There is a well- lighted and ventilated area, with con- tinuous glass fifteen feet high on both Winthrop square and Otis street. There are four large ice-rooms, seven tele- phones, trucks for carrying boxes through the wide aisles, etc. The management says the cost of operating the exchange here will be much less than at the old Park street location.

When the schedule was reached. Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut, wanted to know why the changes were made in the schedule, as he noticed the law pro- vides "and all other decorative green- house plants," twenty-five per cent. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, said that this was transferred from para- graph 215 to 216. The former asked if it covered decorative plants and greenhouse plants. "We thought so," said Senator Williams. "The green- house people told us it ought to be there and not in the other place." Senator Brandegee noted that it gave a lower duty. He said the old law provided that azaleas should come in at twenty- five per cent ad valorem and a change is made so that Azalea Indica comes in at that rate, but nothing is said about other azaleas. "From the same author- ity we gather that this would cover the azalea," said Senator Williams. "It was intended to cover the flowering plant." Senator Townsend wanted to know what greenhouse authority was con- sulted by the committee. "I do not know the people's names," said Sena- tor Williams. "There were several of them before us. I have the names over at my office. I will give them to the senator some day if he wishes." The provisions were then adopted without further debate.

Mention Thp RpvIpw whpn you write. amendment of Senator Jones, and he asked that the paragraph be passed over to another time, which was done. Senator Poindexter, of Wa^ington, spoke about admitting flowering bulbs free. He said the only attempt to grow bulbs in this country with any promise of success is in the state of Washing- ton, near Bellingham. Though meeting with success, it is an infant industry. Although just beginning, it has an ex- cellent prospect of becoming an estab- lished industry of great value to the farmers in that section. For the pur- pose of facilitating and encouraging it, it is proposed to allow these farmers entering upon this new enterprise to get the mother bulbs, which require a cycle of years to mature, free of duty. Senator Poindexter offered an amend- ment to cover the matter, providing that mature mother bulbis imported spe- cifically for propagation and not to be used for any other purpose shall be admitted free of duty. Senators Jones and Poindexter presented the following statement on the subject from the bu- reau of plant industry of the depart- ment of agriculture: So far as known, hyacinth bulbs are propa- gated In this country only at the bulb garden established by this department near Bellingham. although byncinths are the most important of tli» so-called Holland bulbs, because the areas in which the soil and climatic conditions are gnit- able for growing them are extremely limited, and wherever they can be grown successfully the land becomes extremely valuable. The department established a bulb propagating garden In the autumn of 1908 on ten acres of land near Bellingbam, Wash., which was furnished by the chamber of commerce of that city, with the necessary buildings and Improvements, rent free, the cooperative agreement to run for a period of ten years, and the department to fur- nish the necessary bulbs, labor and expert man- agement. The object of the department in es- tablishing the garden waa twofold, namely: (1) To propagate Holland bulbs for the congressional distribution in lieu of importing large quantitib« of these bulbs from Holland annually; and (2) to make the propagation of these bulbs a dem onstratlon thit Holland bulbs can be successfully grown on a commercial scale in the Puget Sound region, with a view to establishing a new and orofitaMe industry. Results so far obtained are quite encouraging, and there is every reason to believe that In a few years the garden established by the depart- ment win furnish all the bulbs required for the congressional distribution and sufficient data will have been accumulated to enable the department to publish explicit and detailed instructions for the information of anyone who desires to grow these bnlbs commercially. However, several .vears will be required to complete the cycle of operations involved in treating the mother bulbs and bringing the young bulhlets to maturity, and there are many minor questions of importance to be worked out, such as special methods of treat- ment, cultivation and handling, use of ma- chinery, and so forth, so that It Is now entirely too soon to make any statement regarding the work, except that the progress made has been quite satisfactory and we know absolutely that Holland bulbs can be propagated and grown In this country, but we are not Justified in saying now that they can be grown with profit, which will be the most important point in the minds of prospective growers. We therefore think that prospective bulb growers In this country will want the duty re- tained on all the so-called Holland bulbs except, possibly, mature mother bulbs imported solely for propagation, and that If bulbs for propagation purposes are admitted duty free, such Importa- tions should be surrounded by such rigid restric- tions as will prevent importations for other pur- ptoses without payment of duty. If such an ar- rangement can he enacted Into law. It will un- doubtedly encourage the establishment of a new industry in this country.

The committee amendments in the section were agreed to, excepting those on the seeds Senator Smoot wanted to discuss. The amend- ment, that seeds of all kinds not spe- cially provided for be taxed 5 cents a pound, was then adopted. HIGH HEAT AT SACRAMENTO. Although the extreme heat in the Sacramento river district, in which im- portant seed crops are grown, is not now so vital a factor as it was earlier in the season, the conditions are not in any way favorable. Here is the oflBcial record at Sacramento for the first three days of this week: Date Highest 8 p.m. Wind August 24 - 106 104 S. 12 August 25 ;. 88 84 S. 10 August 26 100 08 N.W. 4 DUTCH BULB ABBIVALS. The shipments of Dutch bulbs are steadily becoming heavier, this week's arrivals far exceeding all pre- vious ones. The steamer from Eotter- dam which reached New York August 18 brought a large number of cases and the boat which arrived two days later brought one big consignment. The consignments on both boats were as follows: Kuyper, P. C, & Co lOn Stumpp & Walter Co 67 Yokohama Nursery Co 16 Adams Express Co 171 McHutchlson & Co 2 Boddlngton, A. T 12 Vaughan's Seed Store 52 Henderson, P., & Co 102 Maltus & Ware 2.S9 Lang, R. F 262 Total 1,028 Previously reported 284 Total to date 1,312 DUTCH BULBS. Tulips were in at the time of the last report from Holland, and, although the crop is fairly good, there is not such an abundance as last year, and of the cheaper varieties fully one-third less. Darwin tulips are in good demand again, and will be sold out before long, while many of the May-flowering cot- tage varieties are scarce. The hyacinth crop generally is short and really first-size bulbs are scarce this season. The prices on blue and yellow" sorts are considerably higher than last year, and some of the early varieties, that have suffered most from the unfavorable spring, are not to be had in good size. Crocuses are a fine crop, but will hold their own, as too many of smaller sizes were sold last year. Narcissi have suffered from last year's late planting, which caused many stocks to root poor- ly, and the bulbs ripened off too. soon this spring. Many of the irises have suffered from the same cause and are likely to give only a light crop.

The Florists' Review 57 SOWING REAPING SOUNDS like ancient Bible times. But the rule still holds good. He that sows well reaps well. Like- wise, the man who spends his money and energy on poor, uncertain stock can foretell the results. The rule is, and ever will be, the same — use good goods for best re- sults. Silver Pink Snapdragon from seed has the back- ing of many of the largest and strongest florists in the world, for it is growing all over the globe. It is no longer an experiment, but an established commercial fact. It gives up two dollars to one of any snapdragon in exis- tence, and you can have a bed of it at very small cost. Our free cultural directions will make the growing simple. Price of seed, over 500 to packet, $1.00 ; 3 packets, $2.50; 7 packets, $5.00. We will have for October delivery 25,000 seedling plants.

PAINESVILLE, OHIO been few good ones. The wholesale houses are loaded with all kinds of in- ferior stock, which is really not salable. But, taken altogether, it is a time when neither wholesaler nor retailer has enough to do to care much about what sort of stock comes. The vacation period is about over in most of the stores and the boys are just getting settled down and will be ready for the business when it comes. All the growers have about finished planting carnations and they report the plants about up to the average. Various Notes. A team of horses belonging to the John Bader Co. became frightened by a sharp clap of thunder during one of the storms last week and ran away, plung- ing into the river. It took the assist- ance of several men to get them loose from the wagon and harness and pre- vent their drowning. T. P. Langhans and family left Aug- ust 18 for a tour of the east in their auto. They will spend some time in Atlantic City. Thomas Fitzgerald, of Beaver, Pa., was a visitor last week and reports a good summer trade. His stock for win- ter is unusually good.

Crissey enter- tained the Portland Floral Society, Au- gust 10, at his gladiolus farm, where in two acres he has more than 20,000 plants in bloom, of over forty varieties. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. Business is down to summer level; only an occasional funeral relieves the monotony. There is a scarcity of choice stock. Asters are the choicest flower of the season and sell well. Gladioli have been plentiful, but are gradually becoming poorer in quality. Sweet peas have about passed out of the market. The new cut of roses is increasing in quantity, but the blooms are short- stemmed and prove poor keepers. Sal- able carnations are scarce. Mums are more in evidence in the windows, but it is too early for them to be good sellers. Various Notes. S. H. Forshaw, of Pendleton, stopped here on his way home from an extensive eastern and southern trip. C. T. Kipp spent a day here en route to Spokane, after a stay at the beaches. Mrs. E. M. Greig, of Anaconda, Mont., was a week-end caller. Mr. Keegan, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., San Francisco, is calling on the trade this week. E. E. C. IX)S ANGELES. The Market. Business is improving, especially the shipping end of it, while good funeral work has also called for a lot of stock. The best flowers are scarce, but there is a lot of second-rate stock that drags somewhat. Asters are not selling as well as they were, and carnations are being sold in the street when a day or two old at 5 cents per dozen. Gladioli are still fine in every respect except that there are too many of them. Eoses are of fair quality, but the outdoor sup- ply of good stock is short. Ferns in 3-inch pots and upward are more plen- tiful and make a pretty show, selling fairly well. The funeral of a well- known millionaire here made a great deal of work, which was well dis- tributed. Various Notes. Polder & Groen have entirely remod- eled their water appliances. A wire has been brought in from an adjacent high- power line and a new motor ana pump have been installed to force the water to a gravity storage tank. Plenty of water, at a good pressure all over the place, is now at command — a great im- provement over the old conditions. J. Eennison, formerly of the Germain Seed & Plant Co. and more recently manager of the Arizona Seed Co., of Phoenix, has been on a visit in this and other near-by cities in the interests of his firm. The Freeman-Lewis Co. had a fine or- der last week for a casket cover of lily of the valley and white phalsenopsis for the funeral of the late C. Canfield, the oil magnate of this city. Mr. Lewis had charge of the arrangement of the flowers at the funeral August 21. Carl S. Knopf, son of Albert Knopf, of the Eedondo Floral Co., on Spring street, was married August 20 to Miss Florence Nelson. Anton Soethout, of the Hollywood Nurseries, left recently for a two weeks' tour through Oregon, Washing- ton and other northern localities, in the interests of his firm. He handles a considerable quantity of northern stock at his nurseries and likes to be early in the buying field. S. Eoberts, lately of the nursery de- partment of the Germain Seed & Plant Co., died in the east, where he had gone in search of health. Mr. Eoberts had long" been ailing and great sympa- try is felt for his wife. There was no family. Gage & Co. are showing fine rubrura lilies, and as we frequently see Mr. Gage en route to Montebello, we con- clude he puts in plenty of time at the ranch now. Both C. Morton and F. Sperry are back on the job at the Los Angeles Flower Market, taking care of big con- signments of magnolia and other per- petuated material for the coming sea- son. Carl Brose is leaving the staff of J. W. Welters at the end of the month. Such a good artist as he will soon be in the harness again after a short vaca- tion. Mrs. Avery has no connection now with Ye Abbey Flower Shop, at Eighth and Figueroa streets. Mrs. E. M. Dun- das is now the sole owner of the busi- ness. Albert Weedhall, of Bakersfield, was visiting here last week. H. E. Eichards. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. The weather continues cool and stock of all the seasonable flowers is getting better daily, in length of stem and in color and form. Chrysanthemums, though not yet plentiful, are good and are moving rapidly. Asters are a shade past their prime, but, owing to the favorable weather, are really bet- ter than those of one year ago. Amaryllis are everywhere in evidence and are being used largely for decorat- ing. Japanese lilies are not quite so plentiful as they have been, but they are certainly good sellers this season. S.

The Florists^ Review 61 The carnation beds are all planted and the stock cut from them is daily be- coming more like what it should be. Eoses, too, show the results of the cool summer weather, and never has there been seen in this neighborhood better stock than is being offered to the re- tailers now. Dahlias are being used in large quantities for decorative effect. Gladioli, though not so numerous as they have been, are still brought into town in fairly large quantities. Valley moves well. Orchids are scarce and will probably remain so for some weeks. Other lines of stock remain about as last reported. Various Notes. Oscar Prager, horticultural expert for the city of Oakland, has returned from a three months' trip to Europe. A visit to the greenhouses of H. J. Kessel, on Thirty-second avenue, shows large quantities of stock in splendid condition, with many thousands of young ferns being grown on for the coming holiday trade. The Gleadell Dahlia Gardens, on Geary street, are using the windows of the Trumbull Seed Co., on Market street, in which to make an exhibit of their new varieties of dahlias. Fred Bertrand, recently with the Art Floral Co., on Powell street, has re- moved to Oakland and is in the new establishment of the Thorsted Floral Co., on Broadway. Malcolm Lamond has been appointed head gardener for the city of Oakland. R. L. Scott, representing Lion & Co., of New York, has been interviewing the local dealers in the interest of his firm. J. C. Craig, florist and grower of South Wabash avenue, Chicago, is in town, having spent several weeks sight- seeing on the Pacific coast. Robert Armstrong, of the East Lawn Nursery Co., Sacramento, was a visitor last wepk. G, PRESIDENT VAN KIBK'S ADDRESS. [The speech of acceptance delivered by P. A. Van Kirk, of Portland, Ore., on taking the chair as president of the Portland Florists' Club.] Having elected me to preside over the meetings of our society for the en- suing year, you are entitled to know at once whom I have selected to assist in the work of the society. No set of officers that you select can ever be the whole thing, and it is up to you, each and every one as members, to as- sist the various committees in their work to the best of your ability; also to support your officers in every legit- imate way, especially by your attend- ance at our meetings. It is vastly more pleasant and satisfying to trans- act the business of the meetings with the members personally than it is in the spirit, or rather with empty chairs. We have had an extraordinarily pros- perous first year, and we cannot ex- pect too much for this, our second year. Our officers and committees worked hard and faithfully, and they are one and all entitled to your thanks for their efficiency. Let us try to keep the standard up and growing, as we all know that a check of any kind during young growth is a dangerous thing. We must congratulate ourselves on this one thing, that our meetings through- out the last year, without exception, have been harmonious, and it is to be hoped that harmony will continue with us.

I have done this with a view to favoring myself somewhat on rulings and decisions, but more with the purpose of expediting the regular routine business of the meetings, so that we may devote more time to so- ciability and the enjoyment of the va- rious programs that I am sure will be presented by the committee in charge of that line. I believe that we will put up a motto, a good old standby, for the ensuing year, "Charity begins at home,'" and devote the major part of our light finances to the entertain- ment of our membership and any vis- itors who may favor us with their presence. There will be both a program and an entertainment committee, a/nd I would recommend right here to the program committee that they do not strictly confine their attentions to our own membership; anything legitimate from the outside I know will be appre- ciated by the members in general. To the entertainment committee I will sim- ply say, "Entertain," not in too costly a way, but the society will stand for the expense of pipes and tobacco, ice cream and cake, or a sandwich and something to go with it at every meet- ing. This generally gets the boys out, and naturally gets them better ac- quainted, and that is what we want. I believe our money will be spent in this way to as good advantage as in any other. Publicity Sadly Needed. I hope I have selected a good pub- licity committee. At present we do not seem to be on the map of Portland, as it were.

Drought will not mean disaster here- after at the nurseries of J. H. Skinber & Co., of Topeka, Kan., as an irrigation plant has been installed, which has so far proven itself a success. After presiding at the meeting of the Georgia State Horticultural Society, E. C. Berckmans, of Augusta, Ga., addressed the Southern Nurserymen's Association, at Mount Eagle, Tenn., last week, on "The Influence of the Stock on the Bud." Efforts are being made to form an organization of nurserymen of New York state and a meeting is planned for September 4 at the Hotel Utica, Utica, N. Y. There is at present a tentative organization and it is hoped to put this on a firm basis at the meeting. At the third annual meeting of the Mississippi Nurserymen's Association, at Starkville, August 27 and 28, two inter- esting papers were presented, one by James Brodie, of Biloxi, on "Propaga- tion of Nursery Stock," and one by Frank Lewis, of Pascagoula, on "Com- mercial Pecan Growing." A BILL introduced in Congress by Rep-, resentative Broussard, of Louisiana, pro- vides for an experiment station at or near New Iberia, La., and appropriates $50,000 for the station. The purpose is to demonstrate the character of plants, shrubs and trees best adapted to the soil and climate of that section. GEOBGIA SOCIETY MEETS. The annual midsummer meeting of the Georgia State Horticultural Society was held at Clayton, August 19 and 20, President R. C. Berckmans, owner of the large nurseries at Augusta, ad- dressed the society in his official capac- ity and also presented a discussion of "Results Obtained from Orchard Heat- ing.

A paragraph has been inserted in regulation 7, headed "Foreign Certifi- cate of Inspection," in the rules and regulations for carrying out the plant quarantine act, as published in circular No. 44, issued May 26, 1913, by the fed- eral horticultural board. The amend- ment, which went into effect August 1 and is noted as "Plant Quarantine De- cision No. 4," provides for the cancel- lation and refusal of permits to import nursery stock from foreign countries in case the inspection there is not thor- ough. The inserted paragraph reads as follows: Permits may be- canceled and further permits refused for tlie Iniportntlon of nursery stock from ■T* i^aHMVi mm ^■ T- ^■H» 1^^^'rr^^ im m.^iHi Mi mmm ¥ -■ ^igl|^^Lts-. ^ Y "'tfHHI^iif^'^ ^Mi-' ^ yLl^r . ^^ flj '■ • k » V-rr**F*\ «k, • ) ti cft^RSlL r «~« • ■ • ^_ 4^ ^LI_.^ '■* '' •V- ^ ifl U 3 »4 ^^^^^^^^H • ■ 'j ;^, •' ■ ■ { ' ," '.• * .

MILLIONS OF TBEES IMPORTED. Figures gathered by the federal hor- ticultural board show that during the last fiscal year 3,779,041 growing trees .and 1.5,040 pounds of tree seeds were imported into the United States. Ac- cording to members of the board, the trees include valuable species that do not grow in the United States and stock which can at present be bought more cheaply abroad.

Outdoor stock has been scarce, and the florist who has had plenty of indoor flowers has reaped a harvest. Last week we had good rains, the heav- iest for two months, and since then the weather has been cooler. Carnations and roses. should improve rapidly now. Various Notes. Everything at Julius Niednagel & Sons' is in fine shape. The roses, car- nations and mums are especially fine. Miss Elsie Niednagel has returned from a delightful visit with relatives in New York city. The William Blackman Floral Co. is Btill enjoying the best summer business it has ever had. The Evansville Floral Co. is selling roses and carnations at 25 cents per dozen and is doing a good business. Mrs. M. L. Doerr continues to have something to do each day. She is using locally grown flowers as well as some from Chicago and New Castle, Ind. J. C. Elspermann is having his usual good business.

The Market. A slight improvement in trade con- ditions gives promise of a busy autumn. Asters seem to be the queen of the market, for roses and carnations are 'scarce. Easter lilies are somewhat in demand now. Mexican poppies, tri- tomas and centaureas are finding favor as cut flowers. Eoses still are high in price and the blooms are small. Boston ferns are coming into the market again, but it will be September before great quantities will arive and the price will be away down. Various Notes. The fruit and flower show held August 18 and 19 was a decided suc- cess. This is the first time the Improve: ment League and the Horticultural Society have joined forces. The attend- ance was good and there was a large number of exhibitors in both flowers and fruits. Miss Taylor, who resigned her posi- tion with N. F. Higgins, begins new duties with a Boston firm, September 1. William Schlatter is expected home from his vacation in a few days. Osterman & Steele are showing some fine Golden Glow chrysanthemums. It looks good to see yellow mums again. Connie Hassell is enjoying his vaca- tion, which will last two weeks. Mrs. Paul, of Chicopee, has been quite busy with funeral work recently. The asters at the greenhouses of N. F. Higgins are thriving nicely since the installation of the Skinner system of watering. His gladioli have been fine this year. E. W. Cartter has begun to plant his carnations indoors for early blooming. Mark Aitken and his family are spending a short time at Black Point, Conn. C. S. Hopkins, of Brattleboro, Vt., and his assistant, C. P. Griffin, have been looking over the florists' stores in tiiis city. Mr. Hopkins intends to open 4 new store this fall. Clifford S. Kempton, of Longmeadow, is selling fall-bearing strawberry plants. Visitors: E. F. Martin, with the Sef- ton Mfg. Co., Chicago, and Thomas Cogger, with N. F. McCarthy & Co., Boston, Mass. E. C. A.

Business has shown an improvement. Puneral work has become heavy for this time of the year. There are a few asters grown in this city that are good, but the majority were hurt by the long dry siiell, when no water could be had. Koses are coming in better, which is a big relief to the retailers. Every- thing in the green line, such as ferns, Asparagus plumosus, etc., is scarce. Various Notes. Ed. Humfeld is l)ack from his trip Ihroujih .southern Missouri. Ed. Ellsworth is still spending a great deal of his time fishing out at Forest Lak^, about twenty miles from the city. A. F. Barbe had a good run of funer- al work last week. He is cutting some tine snajHlragojis and they helped him out considerably. W. J. Barnes put his share in on the good roads, August 21 and 22, by putting around his jdace a concrete drive 310 feet long and nine feet wide. He will begin to cut Golden Glow mums this month. Arthur Newell last week experienced the best business of the whole summer, lie was busy on funeral work. The Alpha Floral Co. will send out a new catalogue Seiitemljer 1. Repainting the interior of the store has just been comjdeted. Mr. Parker, manager of the Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & I'lant Co., believes that business has commenced to pick np, as everybody is coming back from vacation. R. S. Brown & Son have purchased a new Studebaker car for their light deliveries. This firm has benched its field carnations. Business has been as good as could be expected in the hot weather. W. L.

SuBSCBiBERS are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse beating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Beview 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. RETURN WATER UNUSUALLY HOT. I am about to build a violet house, 16x100, with no glass in the sides. It will be a duplicate of another grower's house in this vicinity, which is heated by a Wilks hot water boiler, 36x48, in a pit two and one-half feet below the surface, with two 3-inch flows and four 3-inch returns. While this gives excellent results, the owner claims that the water returns to his boiler rather hot, and we are both curious to know whether it would be better to use three 3-inch returne on each side instead of two. I have the 3-inch pipe on hand. I shall be much obliged for any in- formation that you can give. A. E. B. From the facts presented, it would appear that the principal reason for the water in the returns being unusually hot is the large size of the boiler. To heat a house 16x100, in your Massa- chusetts climate, to a temperature suit- able for violets, not more than 500 square feet of rttdiation will be needed and twenty-five per cent of this can Pipe Fittings -- Imico Boilers -FOB aRXKNHOnSK WORK- ILLINOIS MALLEABLE IRON CO. 1801-18S5 DIVXB8XT BOULXVARD CHXCAGO GIBLIN BOILERS For Greenhouses.

To supply this amount of radiation, the boiler need not be more than twenty to twenty-four inches square, according to its construction. Two 3-inch flow pipes and four 3-inch returns would be ample, and valves should be placed upon two of the re- turns so that they can be cut out in mild weather. A better way of pip- ing the house would be to use two 2%- inch flows and six 2-inch returns. PIPINa SWEET PEA HOUSES. I have just built three houses, each 141/^x75 and six and one-half feet high to the gutters. I heat with hot water. I intend to run two 2-inch flows and four 1%-inch returns in each house. Would this be sufficient to maintain a temperature for sweet peas in this part of Colorado, where the outside tempera- ture sometimes drops as low as 20 de- grees below zero? Would it be better FOR A STEADY PBESSURE THE HDGHSOR REGULAHRG VALVE HUQH80N STEAM SPECIALTY CO. 8021-3 S. Stato St., Chlcaso Simonds Heating & Speciidty Co. Grand Rapids, Mich.

The beds are solid, so I cannot lay the returns under them, but I intend to hang them on the gut- ter posts. H. J. W. By firing heavily when the outside temperature is below zero, it will be possible to grow sweet peas success- fully by using two 2-inch flow pipes and six 1%-inch returns, provided a closed system is used. There are sev- eral so-called generators or circulators on the market, by means of which the water is run under pressure, and, by being able to raise the temperature of August 28, 1913.

I wish that the publicity committee would keep in touch with all the va- rious committees, but more especially with the exhibition committee, and in time of need I would recommend that these two committees be consolidated by mutual consent of the individual chairmen. Now;*gentlemen, I hope you who have been appointed will all serve the so- ciety for the ensuing year and show no hesitancy in asking at any time the help of the entire society in any mat- ters that you as committees wish to "stand fathers to." Under the mod- ern rules of order which govern most societies, clubs, etc., the presiding of- ficer is a member ex officio of each com- mittee appointed, and as your presi- dent I promise you that I will en- deavor to carry out the wishes of each committee that I have appointed, and I hope to have things stirring right along the lines and all the time. As far as possible I would ask the chairmen of all committees to make all suggestions, etc., in writing, so that they may be filed by the secretary, in order to avoid any confusion. I would state, also, that we have had in the last year some excellent papers on va- rious subjects, and I believe they should become the property of the society. In the future I shall ask the authors to leave them in the hands of the secre- tary, who is authorized to purchase an ordinary letter file for the purpose of saving them for future reference. I hope the file will soon fill up. Superior Standard Greenhouse BoOer- 'The Superior boiler has them all beat for greenhouse heating" is what the grow- ers all say who are using them. Hade in 9 Sizes The SUPERIOR STANDARD is designed specially for green- house work after a close study of what was needed. It is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but — more flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water heats quicker and hotter, because the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller.

The Qateway to the Soutb. Last week's business was slow. Some wholesalers report the close as pretty fair, but even that could not make up for the dull days early in the week. There was plenty of stock of all kinds, but not a strong enough call to take up any considerable quantity of the offer- ings. Prices were hardly fair. The rose supply still is large, but not quite so large as it was the preceding week. A large part of the stock still is short- stemmed. The gladiolus cut still is at its highest point, but indications are that it will soon ebb. The lighter shades, par- ticularly America, have been selling fair- ly well. The aster cut is entering its prime. Many fine large blooms are com- ing into Third street and are finding ready sale. The smaller and shorter stock does not move so quickly. The offerings in giganteums are large, but there is no special call. A limited quantity of vahey is to be had. Good hardy hydrangea blooms are coming in daily. Varioiis Notes. Jos. Beran, of the J.

Club Meeting. The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety held its monthly meeting August 21, at the Association of Commerce building. P. A. Chopin presided and Paul Abele acted as secretary, in the absence of C. R. Panter. The attend- ance was good and the members took a keen interest in all the proceedings. The discussion of a spring show in 1914 was the main topic and all the different points for and against it were carefully considered. It was finally de- cided to hold a chrysanthemum and general plant show at Horticijltural hall in conjunction with the openiiig of the Southern States Fair in the fall of next year. This being the first flower show given here for several years, the local florists, no doubt, will use all their skill and energy to make it an artistic success. To arouse more interest and to have a large attendance at each of the monthly meetings of the society, it was decided that the somewhat neg- lected custom of awarding prizes for plants exhibited at these meetings be taken up again, the judging of the ex- hibits to be followed by a general dis- cussion of the stock exhibited. The reading of papers on horticultural sub- jects was also advocated and several prominent growers present promised to prepare papers during the ensuing year. If these instructive and highly bene- ficial customs are kept up, the society will surely make a name for itself among the local florists, and can be as- sured of a full house at every meeting. E. A. Farley and A. Verlander were elected members of the society. R. E. Evans' Improved Challenge Ventilating Apparatus Write fir iliuttritei catalciue. Quaker City Ntckine Worb Richmond, Ind.

The last week has been about as un- favorable for business as could be im- agined. The heat has been intense at all times, and it has been extremely )iard to get good results from roses. There is no outdoor stock at all at most places. Gladioli are practically a thing of the past. Asters from outdoors are absolutely a failure, while those in the houses are not much better. Boses are in better supply than they were a week ago, but they lack quality. Lilies, espe- cially rubrum, are plentiful. Carnations are not in as yet. There has been a good demand for designs, so that every- one has kept fairly well cleaned up. Various Notes. Tom Joy, Jr., left for the convention at the Twin Cities, August 14. He in- tends to visit several of the large grow- ers while he is away. Mr. Johnson, rose grower for the Joy Floral Co., is at the city hospital with typhoid. The reports are that he is doing well. C. P. W. Nims, representing the Hews Pottery Co., was in the city last week. He reports the sale of three carloads of pots. Oscar Geny, of Geny Bros., has been confined to his home the last week. It is to be hoped that no serious illness will develop. We were much interested in the re- port of an experience one of our grow- ers had some time ago with the cotton boll weevil in his carnation houses. He says that the weevils destroyed the car- nation buds in the same way that they /do the cotton bolls. Haury & Sons are cutting some good asters at present from the open field. They were planted in partial shade and so have not been burned out by the in- tense heat. They are also cutting some ^ood American Beauties at present. Their new houses- are rapidly nearing completion. Mclntyre Bros, say that they have had the best summer business this sea- son that they have ever enjoyed. Their new automobile delivery cars went into commission last week. They are cut- ting a good lot of asters grown in cold- frames. They say that they have dis- continued trying to grow in the open field. They have been fortunate in having all the rain they needed for the last three weeks from local showers that did not reach the other growers. They are cutting a lot of good Mexican everbearing tuberoses. P. B. Cedar Bapids, la. — J. G. Crozer has opened a new store at 209 South Third street, which has many fine features. Among them is the accommodation for ladies who^wish to use it as a place to keep appouitments or to rest. K.

The Florists' Review 101 One of Mr. John Dunlop's blK Iron Frame houses, 61 feet wide by 400 feet Ion?, In process of erection at Richmond Hill, near Toronto. Big Houses for Big Business 0EFORE Mr. Duolop placed his order with us for two Sectioual Iron Frame houses, each 61 feet wide and 400 feet loag, he went to the States and visited many prominent plants. He met men who had bouses of vary- ing widths and differant constructions. He went at the matter in a logical thorough way. Everywhere be found the same things true. The large separate houses have proven themselves easier to handle, more economical to operate, and produced the highest quality of stock. He also found out that although the ma- terials lor our Sectional Iron Frame construction cost more than for Pipe Frame or Truss constructions, the cost of erection was less. As an assurance of its durability, be saw at the F. R. & P. M. Pierson piant. bouses thirty years old that are good for half a century more. In all his inquiries be was unable to learn of a single Lord & Burnham Sectional Iron Frame house having ever been blown down. Mr. Duulop concluded our houses were worth the money. We believe he is absolutely right in claiming to have one of the most up-to-date plants in Canada. We tell you these things because, backed as they are by the action of a conservative, careful business man like Mr. Dunlop. they mean much. We should like to send you our catalogue, or if you are thioking of building, we will gladly come and talk things over with you. This gives you aomewliat of an idea of the way we frame and brace the arables of these wide houses. Lord and Burnham Co. 8AL»« OFFiCES;, NEW YORK BOSTON PHILADELPHIA CHICAGO ROCHESTER TORONTO.

The Florists' Review 103 HAPPY GREENHOUSE FACT: "With CYPRESS You Build But Once." '' With any other material you're * billed ' perpetually." You save many times over (by avoiding repairs and replacements) what slight premium you pay a high- class coatractor for using Cypress at first. It is worth good money to you if you will but profit by the fol- lowing suggesiions: DON'T buy sash or other woodwork that is painted. Paint^overs sap. checks and a multitude of other wiood sins. Insist on seeing the raw wood. DON'T buy excessively kiln-dried wood — air-dried is immeasurably better. Greenhouse lumber that has to travel 3000 miles may be excused if it is kiln-dried to death to save freight over the mountains, but that excuse doesn't make it any better for you. DON'T forget that you are wasting valuable time whenever you stop and listen to a whimwham about some "substitute" wood for heart Cypress. There can't be any substitute until nature invents a new species of wood. (Nothing to it but PECKY Cypress for Benches.) DON'T fuss at the building contractor if he insists on putting a smooth surface on your work— it is to your advantage. Cypress takes that smooth surface. And takes paint perfectly if you want it to. Tet lasts grenerations ^rithout any pamt. * DON'T la'igh at the statement that Cypress sash has been in uninterrupted use in a greenhouse for 45 years. It can be proved. C!an a "substitute" wood equal the record? Isn't that a money-saver? JUST FIGURE your construction costs by the year and you'd pay twice the slight additional price of "The Wood Eternal" over the short-lived woods.
